VATICAN CITY — In the field of ecumenical dialogue, a key task always has been defining terms. Often, Christians have discovered, their beliefs are not that different, but the language they use is.
"Bowling" in the headline above does not involve an alley and 10 pins.
This is cricket. The game involves a ball and bat. And teams of 11. A field and a "pitch," which is part of the field, not the act of throwing the ball.
As a group of priests and seminarians representing the Vatican and another representing the Church of England prepare to meet in September, it's many of the rest of us who have to try to understand their terminology.
Father Tony Currer, the official in charge of Anglican-Roman Catholic relations at the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, is a "right-hand batsman." He'll be traveling back to England with three "right-arm fast bowlers" and seven other seminarians in the name of Christian unity.
"A bowler is like a pitcher" in American baseball, he said. "I guess in baseball you would distinguish between left-handed and right-handed pitchers, right? Then some are specialists in bowling quickly or bowling with a spin."
Before coming to Rome, Father Currer played in the Durham City League, which is an amateur league, though at a level "higher than a parish team" or something like that.
Sometimes Christians complain that ecumenical dialogue has been limited to a small group of experts. Cricket seems mostly limited to residents of the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, New Zealand, the West Indies and South Africa.
The Vatican-Church of England cricket match Sept. 19 at the Kent County Cricket Club will be preceded by ecumenical vespers Sept. 18 in the Anglican's Canterbury Cathedral. Although initially planned strictly as a challenge, the two sides have now decided the match will be an occasion to raise money together for the Global Freedom Network, an interfaith effort against human trafficking supported both by Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury and Pope Francis.
I asked Father Currer if the joint fundraising effort was designed to mitigate the potentially negative ecumenical impact of an Anglican-Roman Catholic showdown.
"Normally I am in the business of finding agreement with the Anglicans, not beating them. That's not the way forward," he responded.
The Vatican XI — captained by Father Currer and including seminarians from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka — has a total of four matches scheduled for their September "Tour of Light" in England. At a Vatican news conference yesterday, they announced one that's creating quite a buzz: A Sept. 17 match against the team of the Royal Household of Windsor Castle, one of the residences of Queen Elizabeth II.
Father Currer isn't sure yet if the match will take place on the castle grounds, but "it is not an unusual thing for a stately home to have a cricket site."
No word yet on whether there will be royal spectators.

It is the biggest, toughest most versatile Super Duty pickup ever manufactured. Completely redesigned and updated last year, Ford's F-250 Super Duty pickup builds on the automaker's full-size truck capability leadership. The Ford F-250 Super Duty is offered in three cab styles – Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab and two cargo bed lengths – 6 ¾ ft. and 8 ft. The F-250 Super Duty is offered in XL, XLT, FX4, Lariat, Harley Davidson Edition and King Ranch models.
Changes and enhancements for 2009 to the standard equipment roster by trim level includes: XL – air conditioning, SecuriLock and manual trailer tow mirrors; XLT –power heated trailer tow mirrors, privacy glass, integrated trailer brake controller, remote keyless entry and SecuriLock; FX4 – PowerScope integrated power-fold, power-telescoping mirrors, power seats, privacy glass, integrated trailer brake controller, captain's chairs, and SIRIUS satellite radio; Lariat – all of the FX4 new standard content plus reverse camera system, power sliding rear window, heated seats, molded running boards and SYNC – Ford's voice-activated communications and entertainment system.
The Ford F-250 Super Duty pickups are also loaded with available industry-first features like the integrated Tailgate Step, a pull-out step inside the tailgate along with a pop-up assist handle that makes getting in and out of the truck bed simple and easy. When not in use, it stows out of the way and doesn't interfere with the cargo bed.
Other industry-leading features include Ford's TowCommand system with integrated trailer brake controller and the PowerScope power-fold, power-telescoping trailer-tow side mirrors.
Available in two- or four-wheel drive, three powertrains are available: a 5.4L Triton V8, 6.8L Triton V10, and a 6.4L V8 Power Stroke twin-turbo diesel. Power is communicated to the ground through a six-speed manual gearbox with overdrive or a TorqShift five-speed automatic transmission.
The 6.4-liter Power Stroke ® Diesel utilizes Ford Clean Diesel Technology, which includes among other features; a high-pressure, common rail fuel system, Piezo-electric fuel injectors and an advanced diesel particulate filter system to deliver strong performance while reducing particulate output by more than 90 percent and posting emissions numbers on par with gasoline engines. High-tech, series sequential turbochargers provide improved response and better low-end performance.
On the road, The F-250 Super Duty equipped with the optional 6.8L V10 prime mover and TorqShift five-speed automatic transmission is impressively smooth and responsive, with a firm but comfortable ride.
Each chassis in the Super Duty truck family is custom-tailored to provide the utmost in strength, flexibility and durability. Every Super Duty frame is E-coated for improved corrosion protection. The new fully boxed front section has been optimized to meet the government's standards for vehicle compatibility without the need for an added blocker beam. The unique front frame horn design lowers the frame by seven inches, improving vehicle cooling and providing a solid footing for the hydroformed body structure.
Robust 6.7 mm steel out raids utilize cross members that have been modified to help with powertrain noise isolation. Super Duty's cross members are riveted and welded for added strength. Reinforcements have been added to several areas for increased cargo and towing capacity.
Control hardware for the Super Duty combines a proven front suspension with an all-new leaf-spring suspension to deliver a more refined and confident ride without compromising on capability.
Inside the cabin is an interior that redefines what Ford calls "Tough Luxury." Class-exclusive Quiet Steel technology provides the base for the truck's quiet interior. The Super Duty has been engineered to do double-duty, serving as everything from an on-site office to the cabin of a long-haul family cruiser.

Since 2011, by performing their first short but impressive live set in
a DIY bike workshop in Leipzig, THROWERS have managed to become a
solid machine within the heavy and dark hardcore section. Teaming up
with members of Vyst and DeZafra Ridge, they have developed a
memorable harsh and brutal sound, which stays to prevail unique:
diversified technical riffing and ground-shaking bass lines collide
with mathy drum parts in order to create a sort of mind-demanding
atmosphere - without neglecting a trustworthy base of inspiration
driven by angry vocals that carry lyrics dealing mostly with human
As descendants of local bands like Men in search for the perfect
Weapon, Perth Express or Black Freighter and longtime protagonists
rooted in diverse DIY-minded structures and activities, they became
part of the Berlin based label Vendetta Records in 2012 and released a
10inch debut named "Prosaic Materialists/Rudimentary Bodies", followed
by another "Gaunt" EP - their second output in 2014 on tape.
Since then, they have been constantly touring through Europe and
shared stages with bands such as Celeste, Hexis and Mantar - to name
only a few among countless others.
After an intense period of recording, they are looking forward to
release their first full-length entitled "Loss" via Golden Antenna
Records in January 2016.
Thanx for your attention,

Air New Zealand announces second largest interim result and maintains strong dividend
Interim highlights
- Earnings before taxation of $349 million, includes a $22 million benefit from other significant items¹
- Net profit after taxation of $256 million
- Operating revenue of $2.6 billion
- 8.1 million passengers carried during the period
- Capacity increased 7.1%
- Operating cash flow of $376 million
- Strong cash position of $1.3 billion
- Three additional Boeing 787-9s delivered during the period, bringing the total in the fleet to nine
- Board approves fully imputed interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share, consistent with the prior period dividend
Air New Zealand has today announced earnings before taxation for the first six months of the 2017 financial year of $349 million, compared to $457 million in the prior year - the second highest result for an interim period in the airline's history. The result included a $22 million gain related to other significant items1. Net profit after taxation was $256 million.
Chairman Tony Carter described the interim profit as an impressive result in the face of unprecedented competitive capacity into the New Zealand market.
The Board has declared a fully imputed interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share, which is consistent with the prior period.
"Based on the strength of the result, and the airline's financial position, future capital commitments and trading environment, the Board felt it appropriate to maintain the level of the interim dividend," says Mr Carter. The interim dividend will be paid on 17 March 2017 to investors on record as of the close of business on 10 March 2017.
Chief Executive Officer Christopher Luxon says that the swift response from the Air New Zealand team, focused on strong cost discipline and leveraging efficiencies within the operations, helped to ease some of the revenue pressure from new competitors and was a major driver of the strong result. Lower fuel prices were a benefit to operating costs in the period, but the positive fuel impact was partially offset by adverse changes in foreign exchange.
"Our team responded to the challenge and I want to extend my thanks to our people for their agility and dedication to the changing competitive environment. We modified our capacity plans, accelerated the exit of older aircraft and made sure we were managing our costs well. All these actions and our investments of recent years really made the difference as we adjusted to a different competitive environment in New Zealand," says Mr Luxon.
The airline's strategy of diversifying its network across the Pacific Rim and throughout New Zealand has proven successful, with strong performances from both the Houston and Buenos Aires routes in their first year of operation. The airline has also worked to increase awareness of its long haul capabilities in the Australian market, with the launch of a "Better Way to Fly" campaign starring Dave the Goose.
Mr Luxon acknowledges the key role of the airline's alliance partnerships in providing support and stability during this period of heightened competition. "The strength of our revenue share alliances with leading airlines across the Pacific Rim, as well as strategic codeshare relationships have allowed us to build market positions that are more resilient and profitable," Mr Luxon says. Together with its partners, the airline brings approximately 45 percent of inbound visitors to New Zealand.
The domestic network is benefiting from increased tourism to New Zealand, continued strength in the economy and the roll out of the airline's new schedule on the jet and regional routes which is supported by a modern and efficient fleet.
The airline continues to make significant investments to sustain long-term value for its customers, employees and shareholders. Upgrading the customer experience continued in the period, with Queenstown, Nadi and Wellington Regional all unveiling new look lounges in the past six months as part of a multi-year programme, with the airline spending in excess of $100 million.
Air New Zealand forecasts its total future aircraft capital expenditures through to 2021 will be approximately $1.6 billion. In the period, Air New Zealand received three additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, bringing the total to nine. The airline also completed the exit from service of its Beech 1900D aircraft and will exit the last Boeing 767 in March 2017. To support future capacity growth, the company will lease one additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft to join the fleet in the 2019 financial year.
Commenting on the outlook Chairman Tony Carter says, "As we look to the second half of the financial year, we expect that the revenue environment will improve from the first half of the year. However, higher jet fuel prices will be a headwind."
Based on the current market environment and expectations for the average jet fuel price in the second half of the year of US$65 per barrel, the airline is targeting 2017 earnings before taxation to be in the range of $475 to $525 million².

¹ Other significant items relate to the divestment of the remaining interest in Virgin Australia.
² Outlook for earnings before taxation includes the $22 million gain related to the divestment of the remaining interest in Virgin Australia and the airline's share of earnings in associates.

San Juan is the capital and most populous municipality in Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1508, Juan Ponce de León founded the original settlement Caparra. San Juan, as a settlement of the Spanish Empire, was used by merchant and military ships traveling from Spain as the first stopover in the Americas.
San Juan has a tropical climate and enjoys an average temperature of 79.9 °F (26.6 °C) although 90 °F (32 °C) or higher temperatures are often felt during the wetter months of the northern summer, especially if the winds come from the south.
Today the capital features numerous hotels, museums, historical buildings, restaurants, beaches and shopping centers. In San Juan there are numerous tourist attractions, including: Old San Juan, Ocean Park, Isla Verde and Condado.
Places and monuments emphasized in tourism campaigns include: Old San Juan, promoting the historic nature of its colonial buildings and narrow streets covered by adoquine, a blue stone cast from furnace slag; they were brought over as ballast on Spanish ships.

Back in 2006 I was diagnosed with HIV and I cried about it at first. People of course think when they are being diagnosed with HIV is that their first thought is that they are going to die, NOT I. I very first thought that made me cry was that I wasn't going to be able to have any children. At the time I didn't know about sperm cleansing at all. I felt like I was damaged goods and I thought I would never have the feeling of being a good father. With the feelings that came with my HIV diagnosis, also went the feelings that I would ever hear anyone call me Dad. After my diagnosis the idea of being a father just went away because I didn't feel like I could ever do it while being HIV positive. Let's break this down:
1) After I did research I found out about Sperm Washing and how that would rid the sperm of HIV. Sperm washing is a process which has been developed for couples who wish to have a child, where the male is HIV-positive and the female is HIV-negative. The procedure reduces the risk of HIV transmission to the female partner and subsequently the unborn child. Sperm washing stands on the foundation that HIV infected material is carried primarily in the seminal fluid rather than in the sperm itself. The technique involves purifying sperm from seminal fluid. The sperm is then used for insemination into the female partner when she is ovulating and most likely to become pregnant (called Intra-Uterine Insemination or IUI), or for in vitro fertilization, (IVF). A recent study found the risk of HIV transmission from sperm washing to be zero. I thought oh my gay WOW this would be great, now all I have to do is find out where to go to do this.
2) Finding a female that would be willing to take the risk even after the sperm would be washed of all HIV. There has not been a case where a female has been infected with HIV after sperm washing has taken place.
3) At the Gay Men's Health Summit in 2012 I did some research about Artificial Insemination. There was an organization that does the Sperm Cleansing and then fits you with a surrogate. I thought, "Wow How exciting!!" Then I saw the price tag, and I said, "Well we can't afford that right now".
Another option that occurred to us was to adopt. Here is the thing with adoption; if you go through an agency it can take a lot of money and can seem costly also a lot of people have a moral issue with going through an agency. Some people think that going through an agency is saying that there adoption is more like a financial deal than made out of love. I don't think that way, but some people do. Because of the cost of adopting through an agency, Phil and I have decided to go through the state for Foster Care and Adoption.
The state of Maryland has no provisions against same-sex married couples adopting children. Also since I am HIV positive I had thought long and hard about this and I also wondered if that would be a reason for the state to reject us from being Foster/Adoptive Parents for the state of Maryland. During Baltimore Pride Phil and I passed a stand at the festival that gave out information on Maryland State Foster Care/Adoption, so we took one. Then we called the number on the pamphlet and made an appointment. The appointment was to start classes in Anne Arundel County (Annapolis) for Foster Care/Adoption. In the classes there are 24 hours of training that you must complete. Phil and I had to go to Annapolis Maryland every Thursday from 5:30PM - 8:30PM which isn't bad considering how important the classes are and what the end result might be. We started our classes back in June and finished them. We missed one classes but we were able to make it up.
During the classes each household must have what are called, "Home Visits". A home visit is done by the state to inspect your home and to make sure that it is safe. Depending on what age group you are looking to adopt there will be certain things that they will be looking for. Phil and I opted to Foster or Adopt in the age group Infancy to 5 years old. So there were stair gates, child car seats, a stroller, and other supplies that needed to by purchased. When Fostering teens one of the things they look for is to make sure your alcohol is locked up or in a secure location in the home. Since we have been a part of this program we have had 4 home visits thus far and that should be our final one. Also there is another important thing you must know. Home Visits are the only inspection your household must go through.
The household has to be inspected by the fire department for safety reasons. One reason is to make sure that you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your house. They will measure each room you have in your house. The reason why they are measuring each room is to see how many children can live in your house at one time. Our number for our house is 5 children. Phil said, "Oh wow I can't wait to tell our Social Worker that we can have 5 children". I then GASPED!!. Phil was only kidding but 2 children are what we had originally planned for, but as you know sometimes things come up!!!
You also have the option to care for a special needs child. We made sure that it was known that we would take in a HIV positive child. Also we needed to get our physician check up as well. When you are HIV positive and trying to be a Foster or Adoption parent you MUST be undetectable. Also you have to be cleared of other disease like TB.
People asked if we wanted a boy or a girl and other questions. Well we are open to a boy or a girl, any religion, race, etc., it didn't matter to us; we want to provide a good home to children who need it. I had first bought up the subject of children to Phil before we got married. I needed to know that he was on board with having children and low and behold he was and still is. Having children is a big responsibility and making sure that I have time to spend with them is a must. J

The "tragedy of the commons" was a term coined by environmental guru Garrett Hardin in a famous article a generation ago. It goes like this: A group of herdsmen shares a common pasture. Each has an incentive to increase the size of his herd, since the costs of feeding new cattle are shared but the profit goes to the individual. Yet if each herdsman acts on his own seeming self-interest, the pasture becomes overgrazed and all of them are worse off. This fable about the price of selfishness and the benefits of cooperation has traditionally appealed to greens, social critics, and other worrywarts who fret over issues such as population growth.
The Internet is coming to illustrate the tragedy of the commons as well. Because that next e-mail or hour of Web surfing is free, or virtually free, for each of us, all of us suffer through slowdowns and, increasingly, breakdowns.
But Wall Street is where the tragedy of the commons is manifesting itself in a strange new way: through the rise of index investing. Indexing makes perfect sense for each of us, like dumping used paint thinner into the creek. Yet it would be disastrous if everybody did it, which in my book is a pretty good standard for deciding that something is wrong. Carried to an extreme, indexing is evil. I'm an index investor myself, yet it's hard to come to any other conclusion.
This evil, like some others, has its roots in the academy. It springs from the theory that you can't beat the stock market because all the information available is already known and accounted for. Thus, according to this "efficient markets" theory, you're better off restricting yourself to a binary decision: to be in or not to be in. If the decision is to be in, just buy the whole market and relax.
You can do that by buying a basket of stocks that reflects the overall market, or some part of it. Some index funds mirror the Dow Jones industrial average or the Standard & Poor's 500. Others track indexes of small firms, real estate investment trusts, even bonds. Index investors know they won't do better than the market, but they also know they won't do worse. And they save themselves the money and effort of trying. Indexing makes a virtue of passivity. There are no high-priced money managers to pay, and no need to spend time poring over the financial press.
Only about 25 years old, indexing is being embraced these days with good reason. This is likely to be the fourth year in a row in which most of those high-priced money managers don't do as well as the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
S&P figures that 8 percent of the $9 trillion invested in the U.S. stock market already is indexed, much of it from pension funds and other institutions that are required by law to invest conservatively. But an astonishing 17 percent of the $88 billion poured into ordinary mutual funds so far this year appears to have gone into index funds. That's up from less than 3 percent in 1994. Net assets of index funds have risen from just $6 billion in 1988 to $125 billion today, and Vanguard's Index 500 Trust probably will soon surpass Fidelity Magellan as the nation's largest mutual fund.
Since most individual investors probably can't hope to keep up with the pros, who in turn apparently can't keep up with the indexes, doesn't it make sense for everybody to index? Perhaps. The only trouble is that, if everybody tried it, there would be no stock market.
Indexing presents a classic example of the commons problem. The benefit we all get from people doing their best to beat the market is an efficient market–one where prices accurately reflect knowledge and expectations. Efficient markets are the whole basis of indexing, yet indexers depend on others to do the research required to separate good investments from bad. Indexers even boast about the low costs of their system. (Index funds have an edge of perhaps 1 percent a year over conventional mutual funds, because they have extremely low operating expenses.) Research is what provides a basis for most buy and sell decisions, and is thus crucial for establishing market prices. Indexers simply ride along for free, transferring these costs to others–who in turn have a greater incentive to index.
Index investing also makes markets less efficient by distorting the price of companies lucky enough to be included in the chosen indices. Already, companies admitted to the S&P 500 enjoy an immediate increase in the price of their shares.
But index investing doesn't just undermine markets. At some level it also undermines economic health–the broader commons, if you will. If traditional investing rewards efficient companies and punishes slack managements, index investing perversely rewards mediocrity, rather like a business that pays lazy workers the same as industrious ones (or an economic system that rewards everyone equally no matter how much they produce). Indexers, after all, will continue to hold a weak-performing stock year after year, and will make no effort to double up on a strong performer. Under such circumstances, why would companies innovate, take risks, or try to grow? By making the economy less efficient and less responsive, index investing actually helps impoverish us all.

VEX2 Competition
|There are three possible configurations that can be used to test your ROBOTC program for a VEX Competition.
Each of these is discussed in the next set of pages.
There are three states that need to be handled in a user's competition program. These are:
Competition Template
In normal ROBOTC programming, every program is based around a "task main" function, as shown below:
In a competition program, things are a little different. To keep things simple, however, a Competition Template program is built into ROBOTC for use in VEX Competitions. The template provides a common starting point for teams when competing in an event. Rather than a single "main" task, the template has three sections, each matched to a specific section of the competition:
The template and its accompanying "include" file handle the background work for the competition, such as monitoring the duration of each phase during a match, and communicating with the Vex Field Controller. All you need to do is tell the robot what to do in each phase.
Open a Competition Template
|To open a competition template:
Go to File, select "New" and select "Competition Template"
Set Up Competition Control and Timing
With ROBOTC, the competition control is completely user defined and controlled via software, so there are no jumpers required for testing. By changing these settings, the template can be adapted to work with any competition. The three lines above set the VEX controller into the "competition" mode and specify the timing for the match.
#pragma competitionControl(competition_mode) – Controls the Competition mode that the Vex robot will function in. There are two different competition modes that you can pass to this statement:
#pragma autonomousDuration(time_in_seconds) - Defines the duration of the autonomous phase of a VEX competition. Poor performance may result if this setting does not match the Field Controller settings.
#pragma userControlDuration(time_in_seconds) - Defines the duration of the user control phase of a VEX competition. Poor performance may result if this setting does not match the Field Controller settings.
Program and Test Competition Code
Phase 1: Pre-Competition
Place your initialization code inside this function.
Phase 2: Autonomous
Place your Autonomous Period code inside this function. The AuonomousCodePlaceholderForTesting() function is only there as a placeholder and can be removed.
During the autonomous period, the robot performs actions autonomously for the length of time specified by the "autonomousDuration(time)" setting. While the robot cannot accept commands from the Transmitter during this time, it still requires that the Transmitter's signal be present as a safety precaution.
You cannot skip the autonomous period during a competition by shutting the RF Transmitter off. If you shut the RF Transmitter off during the autonomous period, the VEX's internal timers will pause, potentially causing your robot to enter the User Control period later than it should.
You do not need to use any bIfiAutonomousMode commands when competition programming.
Phase 3: Operator Control
Place your User Controlled Period code inside this function. UserControlCodePlaceholderForTesting() is only there for testing and can be removed once you have placed your own code inside of the while(true) loop.
During the operator controlled period, the robot can accept commands from the Transmitter. This segment of code executes immediately after the autonomous period ends. If you shut the Transmitter off during this period you will not increase the length of the Operator Controller period as the Field Control System determines and controls the length of the human player period.
Test Your Code
|To test your competition code without a field control kit, follow these steps:
If you are using VEXnet, please see the "Testing with VEXnet" topics under the "Competition with ROBOTC" heading.
Testing with Crystals
|There is no "control" channel to signal between the game control / transmitters and the robot. The only control that the robot can detect is whether it is receiving a 75 MHz radio signal. So this is used to control a match.
The three states of the match are controlled as follows:
It's very easy to simulate a Competition match without the need for any additional hardware. Just do the following:
The timing for AUTONOMOUS (20 seconds) and USER CONTROL (120 seconds) is specified via special "#pragma" statements found at the start of your program. See the "Competition Template" page for more information.
Anytime you would like to re-test your competition code, make sure to start from step #1, or else the competition template may not execute correctly.
Testing with VEXnet - Manual
|Innovation First has developed a simple "manual" switch that enables a team to simulate the stages of a competition. There are two manual two-position switches:

We caught up with PWA slalom sailor Marco Lang after hearing the news that quite a few PWA riders entered the Swiss Slalom Championships this year. Marco was on the scene and finished an impressive 6th place in the extremely varied conditions. Considering as there were 15+ PWA competitors we reckon that his winter training has certainly been paying off. Here are the words from Marco and few pictures to go with it. The official report and results are below that.
Marco Lang – AUT-66
"After some really good training in Tarifa, I went for my first competition to South France for the Swiss Championship. I had a pretty good feeling after my winter training and was seriously motivated to hit the water! We had between 12 knots to 50 knots, so literally the whole wind range, so this made it a pretty hard event and to add to it there were also quite a few top PWA guys competing there, including the likes of Patriek Diethelm, Ludovic Jossin, Cederic Bordes and from Germany, Vincent Langer! So it was good Test for the upcoming season. In the end I made the 6th place from 74 starters. I am really happy with this result and for sure next year I will be back again!"
World Cup Riders get some training at an incredible Swiss Event
The Swiss Windsurfing Season Opening in Hyeres was a complete success. A very short summary would go something like this; more than 45 knots of wind, 80 participants from 15 countries, 5 eliminations, VW California as the new main sponsor, beautiful sunshine, tough action and all racers had to rig their smallest sails they could find.
These superb conditions were used by a number of World Cup Riders as the ideal preparation for the coming season. Vincent Langer, Cédric Bordes, Patrik Diethelm, Karin Jaggi, Matteo Iachino, Gunnar Assmussen, Marco Lang, Ludovic Jossin und Jocelyn De Sousa were there.
Excellent Results by the Swiss Riders
The international participants came in numbers larger than ever before. More than 15 World Cup Pros took part and dominated the races against the mostly amateur Swiss riders. It was a welcome opportunity to compete with world class athletes. Cédric Bordes (Tabou/Gaastra) proved to be the quickest, followed by the Swiss World cupper Patrik Diethelm (Patrik/Loftsails). Matteo Iachino (F2) was a strong contender finishing third. The best non PWA rider was Baptiste Beer (SUI 166, Patrik/North) who finished in the excellent 8th position.
Sometimes, less is more…here comes the wind!
The forecast announced 30 to 50 Knots for the Easter weekend. And it proved to be accurate. Starting on Saturday, the wind rose to 35 knots. Some riders had to give up the competition as they did now have access to sails smaller than 7m2! And it got even better on Sunday. An average of 40 Knots with gusts over 50 made for a lot of spectacular races.
Short and choppy waves
According to the riders the uneven waves were more problematic than the strong wind. They had to use all their experience and talent to perform in these conditions. Small sails, short fins, little boards, everything for more control. Patrik Diethlem even claimed that he had never before participated in a race with a sail of 4.9 m2!
VW California Cup 2013
The VW California Cup 2013 is organised by Swiss Windsurfing consisted of 13 Races, mostly in Switzerland with some race in France and Italy. Starting in March, the competition lasts all the way through until October. The events last for 2 to 4 days. Depending on the location and wind conditions, Formula and Slalom races are held. Licensed riders compete in 5 groups, depending on age. The overall winner receives the VW California Cup 2013 at the end of the year.
Swiss Windsurfing is an association holding the VW California Cup under the patronage of Swiss Sailing. For more information, please visit www.swisswindsurfing.ch.

A recent article in English Review stated without question that Madeline and Porphyro consummate their love in 'Eve of St Agnes'. Is this common belief or is anyone as innocent as me and believes they don't? It is undoubtedly an erotic poem and he is described at that point as a 'throbbing star' but how much should we read into him 'melting into her dream'? I'd be interested to know what anyone else thinks.
If you haven't read 'Eve of St Agnes' you should!

AC refrigerant cools the air within your air conditioning system making the AC to blow out cool air in the room. But sometimes, over a period of time the AC gas level goes down or the AC refrigerant or coolant leaks from the AC unit which results in AC not providing optimum cooling or AC not blowing cool air. Thus, to get perfect continuous cooling, AC gas top-up is required. Read more about AC Gas Filling charges.
AC gas refilling and thorough inspection for proper functioning is included in AC gas refill.
These days most commonly used AC refrigerants are HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) i.e. R-22 and R-402A for domestic and commercial air conditioning system.
But, since HCFC refrigerants add to ozone depletion and has adverse effects on global warming, the HFC (Hydro Fluro Carbons) refrigerants are becoming more popular which have low Ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential.
HFC refrigerants used for air conditioners nowadays – R-32 and R-410A.
R-290 and R-600A are the HC refrigerants that are already used commercially.
The checking of AC gas level is a job of professional AC mechanic. Our skilled professional AC mechanic uses a pressure gauge that can accurately determine the refrigerant level in your AC unit. They then suggest for AC gas refill accordingly.
Yes, we provide 1 month warranty for any AC Gas Leakage requests on both Split AC Gas filling and Window AC gas filling in Faridabad. However, post-service request if there is a cooling issue as a result of any AC part (Electronic part) becoming faulty, the part replacement cost and additional AC Gas filling cost would be separate and would have to be paid by the customer.
Also, if we only do Ac Gas Top up as requested by the customer then No Warranty applies. This is because coils and leakage cannot be checked as part of AC Gas Top-up and hence Leakage points cannot be determined.
With time Freon the technical ac gas name of the gas refrigerant in the air conditioner gets exhausted and needs to be refilled. The most common reason for AC not cooling properly is the lack of Freon. Normally, you would have to get the AC Gas Refilled in 1 to 3 years depending on how your AC is cooling. Unless there is a refrigerant leak in your AC or the air conditioner is incorrectly installed or your AC is not blowing cold air; neither the home AC nor the commercial air conditioner needs AC gas refilling.
Unless there is a refrigerant leak in your AC or the air conditioner is incorrectly installed or your AC is not blowing cold air; neither the home AC nor the commercial air conditioner needs AC gas refilling. If you have recently got AC gas filling done, or if there is some problem in AC spare part then no ac gas filling is required.
For both Split AC Gas filling and Window AC Gas filling, the time taken can be 1 hour to 2 hour. Normally window AC gas filling takes more time and it also may be needed to be taken to the workshop for ac gas filling.
Please read our points to consider for AC gas refill or AC Top up
If you have shifted the Air conditioner to your new office, first of all, what is the size of the room. If it is similar in size then it is okay. But if the size of the room is slightly bigger then you have to think about higher capacity.
If the AC unit was removed with help of AC Mechanic at time dismantling and refitting. There is no need to fill the gas in the unit. A small quantity of gas would not affect the cooling immediately.
No. If an air conditioner is filled with half as much freon as specified, it will not be able to transfer as much heat (it will not cool as well). So, proper split AC gas filling is required.

First of all, the window AC unit is unplugged and the air conditioner is opened.
Our professional ac mechanic will look for the signs of AC refrigerant leak and will repair the same immediately.
In case, there are no leaks, our AC mechanic will straight away start on to gas filling in window AC.
Before AC gas filling he will make sure that AC filters are cleaned so that when your AC is recharged, it can provide you optimum cooling.
For window AC gas refilling, service valve and tap valve (provided in AC gas filling kit) are attached to the two lines coming off the AC compressor.
After this, both the service and tap valves are connected to the container filled with AC gas making sure everything is connected tightly and properly with no scope for leaks.
Now, the window AC is turned on at the highest power setting. The normal flow of air that will occur while the AC unit is operational will push or "charge" AC refrigerant into the unit.
When the appropriate amount of refrigerant has been transferred, the power setting is reduced, AC unit is turned off and unplugged, valves are removed and AC unit is reinstalled back as it was earlier.

Read more about AC signs that you should never ignore.
Our AC mechanic are well trained to take care of the water leakage problem in Window ACs or split ACs. There can be several reasons behind water dripping from Window AC or split AC:
Improper AC Installation: Improper AC installation can lead to water leakage problem in ACs. In the case of window AC, the rear end should be 1 inch lower than the front end. If the unit is too low at the front then the condensed water leaks from the front rather than dripping from the rear end.
Air Leakage: Another reason could be Air leakage. AC unit should be properly sealed otherwise the warm air gets inside the AC unit which creates excess moisture leaking from the unit.
Blockage in drain pipe: Sometimes the drain holes at the rear end of air conditioner get blocked due to dirt and dust resulting in water leakage from the front AC unit. This indicates that the drain line needs thorough cleaning.
Broken AC condenser pump: If the AC Condenser pump inside your AC is broken, it causes water to leak from the unit. A professional AC mechanic can repair the condenser or pump and stop this water pooling.
If your air conditioner is running on low refrigerant or has a dirty or contaminated filter then the air conditioning system may freeze up when it is running. When you turn it off, ice starts melting which causes it to leak water.
This is one of the most common problems we face with our air conditioners. There can be several reasons for split AC not cooling enough:
Clogged Air filters and dirty coils.
The AC coolant level is less than the required level in AC unit.
There must be a fault in AC compressor which can stop the cooling process in AC unit.
Defect in thermostat. It hints the compressor to start or stop the cooling process but if there is the default in thermostat then either AC will stop cooling at all or AC may cool continuously.
Sometimes, there can be default in AC part like the default in a capacitor of the compressor, defective control board, bad thermistor, choked capillary, faulty motor, bad compressor valve, etc.
Quotemykaam provides the best service for window and Split AC Repair Service in Faridabad and our AC mechanic are trained in all brands of AC Repair. You can place the request for AC repair online and our AC mechanic will correctly diagnose and repair the problem of AC not cooling.
Ice formation in Split AC indoor unit or Window AC is a problem which can affect the cooling process consequently, AC will stop cooling completely. The main reasons for ice formation in AC can be:
Clogged Air Filters: The most common reason for ice formation is clogged air filters. If the air filters are dirty, the airflow will get restricted which will cause moisture in the room to condense on the coil and freeze. So, the frost developed over the coil hampers the airflow. A sufficient flow of hot, humid air is a very important aspect of preventing the coil from freezing. In order to prevent this, the air filters should be cleaned once every month.
Insufficient AC Refrigerant Level: Another reason for ice formation in AC can be the insufficient AC refrigerant level. Insufficient AC refrigerant level could be due to a leak in your system or due to incorrect installation. For this, our AC mechanic will accurately determine the level of AC coolant and accordingly refill the required AC gas.
Fault in Evaporator Fan:If there is fault in evaporator fan, then also frost develops over the coil. Normally the evaporator fan keeps the temperature of cooling coils above freezing point. But in case of a fault in the evaporator fan, the temperature of cooling coils drop much below the freezing point eventually leading to ice formation on coil.
Insufficient Fan Speed: In order to keep the proper amount of air blowing over the evaporator coil the fan must blow fast enough. So increasing the fan speed can do away with the problem that causes ac to freeze.
Thermostat Issue: We often end up running the air conditioner all night when it is not necessary. This not only increases your electricity bill but also causes your air conditioner to freeze. So have thermostat checked from time to time to solve the problem.
Read more about Why ice is formed in AC?
To prevent your air conditioner from freezing here are the things that you can do:
Refrigerant level should be checked.
Regularly clean the filter
Fan speed should be increased
Have thermostat checked
Condensate drain should be inspected from time to time.
Get your air conditioner serviced regularly by professional AC mechanic.
First and most important thing is, do not try to operate the unit. However, if you continue to do so then the air conditioner will eventually damage the compressor and will burn up the motor.
Do not try to scrape the ice off of your unit. This will not solve the problem but can damage your unit's equipment. If the freezing problem re-occurs it is always recommended to get help from professional AC mechanic.
To fix this problem you first have to eliminate any existing ice or frost.
To eliminate the ice or frost, turn the unit to Fan only (by clicking the Mode button) and set the speed to high. The unit should defrost fairly quickly (5-15 minutes).
Then, run the unit in Fan mode until the coils or vents are dry or nearly dry.
After the coils or vents are dry, turn the unit back to AC, but set the thermostat to a temperature a few degrees lower than the room temperature to start.
The compressor will run until the temperature in the room reaches the set point, and then cycle off.
When it is off, any ice that may have accumulated on the coils or around the vents melts. Over time, gradually reduce the temperature setting a few degrees at a time, so that the compressor continues to cycle on and off until you reach the temperature you want.
No air conditioner can work without AC compressor; it is the heart of your home's air conditioning system. An AC compressor moves the refrigerant through the machine, cooling your home in the process and if it stops working then your AC will not provide cooling at all. Quotemykaam team provides for all kinds of AC Compressor Repair in Faridabad at your doorstep. There can be several reasons behind your AC compressor not working:
Fault in the wiring: There can be a fault in the wiring interrupting the power supply and preventing the compressor from starting. Generally, this issue means that the wire needs to be professionally replaced.
Dirty compressor: Gradually with time dust and dirt gets deposited inside the compressor which prevents the proper functioning of the compressor.
Broken or faulty capacitors: Another most common issue is due to broken or faulty capacitors.
Poor oiled motor: Mechanical issues like a poorly oiled motor or damaged or broken bearings can cause AC compressor not working properly or even starting.
Excessive refrigerant flow: It's compressor's responsibility to compress the low pressure cool refrigerant into high pressure and if the refrigerant level is below the required level, AC compressor will not start at all.
Overuse of air conditioner: Overuse of the air conditioner also prevent the compressor from working properly. The continuous operation ends up heating up the outer unit. This causes an adverse effect on the compressor.
The most unusual problem, that is rarely faced is ac compressor working but not cooling. This problem can be caused due to certain damage in ac compressor or low level of AC refrigerant. It can be a sign of "AC maintenance needed". So get your AC repaired by the trusted and experienced AC repair professionals at Quotemykaam.
Yes, our team of professional AC mechanics can definitely fix it. There could be several reasons for the AC fan not working and our professional will correctly diagnose the problem to resolve your issue to the core. Some common causes for air conditioner fan not working maybe:
Fan motor : If the blade does not turn freely even after turning it by hand then this is because the motor bearings are worn out and the only option is to replace it. Test the incoming power to the fan motor to see if the blade turns freely; another factor which indicates that the motor is defective and should be replaced is when the power is getting to the fan motor, but the motor is still not running.
Main control board : The voltage to all the air conditioner's component is provided by the main control board. So, if there is any defect with the control board then it might just stop providing power to the fan motor and you may have to replace the main control board. But sometimes it is possible that the main control board has been incorrectly diagnosed, thus before replacing the control board always check and analyze the AC parts that have the most chances to be defective. Main control board should only be replaced if you are assured that all the other components are working properly.
Selector switch : The voltage to the fan is directed by the selector switch. In order to conclude, if the selector switch is at fault try to make selections on the air conditioner's control board. After pressing a button if the fan runs occasionally then the replacement of the selector switch will be helpful. Furthermore, if there is any smoke coming from the selector switch then you need to replace it.
Thermistor : The thermistor is a sensor that is connected to the control board and is responsible for detecting the temperature of the air. A damaged thermistor prevents the fan from running. In order to conclude if the thermistor is damaged then use a multimeter to test it for progression. If the thermistor does not have progression then replace it.
The Air conditioning unit is a complex system and has many parts inside it that help in providing the cooling throughout the summer and all these parts are to be taken care of from time to time. If your air conditioner is making noise it may indicate:
Malfunctioning compressor: The AC compressor may not be working properly, there may be some defect in it. Buzzing sound indicate that compressor may not be working properly.
Incorrect AC installation: The most common reason is incorrect AC installation due to which AC makes noise. Always hire verified AC professionals for the installation of AC as it is a job to be done accurately and perfectly.
Ice formation on AC unit: Formation of ice in AC unit can also cause a buzzing sound. Even though AC is used in the hottest time of the year, AC unit often freezes up which happens due to a refrigerant leak and causes buzzing sound from the ac unit.
Loose parts:There may be a loose AC part or it may have worn out which can affect the functioning of other parts leading to premature wear and tear; this may result in ac making a buzzing noise.
Damaged Fan: If your window or split ac is making noise then it could be due to the damaged fan which is present inside the indoor unit. There is one fan which is present at the front end and the other one which is present at the rear end. For it to function properly it needs to be kept clean.
If you come across rattling or humming noise from the air conditioner then it gives you an indication that fan blades need to be checked. Get rid of all the dirt and dust gathered on and around the blades.
Another reason could be loose blades. In this, the blades need to be tightened. If not then you need to replace fan motor or fan blade.
If your air conditioner is blowing hot air then either it could be due to dirty air filter or your air conditioner might be low on freon.
Even when it is immensely hot outside, your air conditioner should turn off periodically. But if your air conditioner is running continuously then it gives you an indication that there is some problem with the fan.
If the fan in the outdoor unit is not working properly then the air conditioner will not provide optimum cooling. When the air conditioner unit is turned off, try to spin the blades in a clockwise direction. If the blades spin without any difficulty then there is a problem with the capacitor and you might need to replace it.
We have come across this situation when our air conditioner is running for 2-3 minutes then turns off in 2 minutes and again turns on in 2 mins. This is termed as short cycling. Let us go through some of the reasons that cause it:
Dirty air filter: If an air conditioner is turning on and off repeatedly then it gives you a signal that air filter might be dirty. Dirty filter decreases the airflow to the air conditioner to that point where your air conditioner ends up freezing and this shuts off your unit before it had completed cooling your room. Then after sometime thermostat will start your air conditioner again and the cycle will go on.
Refrigerant leak: Refrigerant leak is also one of the reason that causes it. Your air conditioner might be low of refrigerant.
Contaminated condenser coil: The job of the condenser coil is to dissipate heat from your house to the outside air and when the condenser coil is dirty that it becomes difficult. In this situation, your air conditioner ends up struggling which it to overheat and then turns off.
Inappropriate size of the air conditioner: This is also one of the reasons for the air conditioner to turn on and off every 2 minutes.
If your air conditioner is producing foul smell then it could be due to the clogged air filters. The air conditioner which runs continuously for extended hours tends to emit bad or foul odor because of the clogged water drainage system. The drain gets blocked with dirt and debris, the water stays back in the condensate tray and gradually with time it starts emitting or producing a bad or foul odor. When the air conditioner is turned on it starts emitting a rotten smell. A smelly air conditioner also means that your air conditioner requires a serious cleaning.So you should get proper ac servicing done at the earliest.

It took about three years, but the once convivial relationship Apple and Google had with maps is about to spectacularly and officially end.
Apple's new Maps app has stripped Google from the backend, leaving behind an impressive, shiny new 3D rendering that will, according to All Things D, blow your head off.
According to sources on D and 9to5Mac, the new iOS 6 will feature this marquee functionality. "Described as a much cleaner, faster and more reliable experience," Marc Gurman at 9to5 writes.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Back in 2009, Apple started buying 3D and mapping capabilities with Placebase, later adding C3 Technologies and Poly9.
How spectacular are these 3D renderings? The C3 Technologies 3D graphics are reportedly accurate to SIX INCHES.
To gather this data, the companies fly DLSR cameras over cities in multiple passes, according to fastcodesign.com.

Hello, my name is Kim, and I'm addicted to potatoes. But seriously, I've posted more potato recipes recently than any other recipes. I love them, and most of all, I love them with cheese. For this month's Improv Cooking Challenge, I decided to take a potato recipe that I've already created (and adore) and change it a little to include the other ingredient: cheese! I love these little potato stacks - they are simple to make and they are too cute! Enjoy!
Best dishes and yummy dreams!

text: Imagine that you had a group of people in a room; let's say twenty people. Then let's say that you held up a twenty dollar bill and that you were going to auction it off to the lowest bidder. Finally, you allow the participants to begin bidding. What would you expect to happen? Of course some people would bid one dollar for a twenty dollar bill. Other bids would come in as high as ten or nineteen dollars. Even at nineteen you still stand to gain a dollar if you win the bidding war. What would you say if participants bided as high as twenty-seven dollars for a twenty dollar bill? That is exactly what this documentary explores. We are used to a theory of economics that says that we all pursue our rational self-interest, but then how to do we explain the obvious irrational behavior in the experiment above? If you want to find out answer to this question then you'll want to see a new PBS documentary called, Mind Over Money.

I have a short question:
Does the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme have arbitrary products? I know that it does if the scheme is affine and I know that they will not be isomorphic to the product as $\mathcal{O}_{X}$-modules, but I haven't been able to find a counterexample.
Any help is appreciated!

Black Women Confront HIV Stigma, Health and Funding Disparitiesby GDN Shared Post December 5, 2011
This year the U. S. Conference on AIDS (USCA), the largest HIV/AIDS gathering in the nation, targeted its offerings toward men who have sex with men. But during the meeting sponsored by the National Minority AIDS Council, many Black women–from prevention and policy experts to those living with HIV/AIDS–aggressively pursued programming and issues that focused on their demographic.
"It's time to mobilize around the lack of funding and resources targeting women living with HIV in the United States," said Amanda Lugg, director of advocacy and mobilization of the New York City-based African Services Committee.
The USCA did "a very good job with multiple targets. There was a segment targeting women and I am ecstatic that next year's conference will focus on women," said Texas Woman's University assistant professor Kimberly A. Parker, Ph.D., M.P.H., C.H.E.S. "But we need to do more."
Infection rates among Black women are nearly 15 times higher than those among White women. But while in 2009 Black women accounted for about "30 percent of the estimated new HIV infections among all Blacks," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "we don't receive 30 percent of the funding," said Lugg. "There is a huge divide between the face of the epidemic and funding for HIV prevention and research. It's very important to monitor how CDC utilizes resources and how the National HIV/AIDS Strategy will affect women."
HIV Rates Rising Among Black Women in Rural States
"There are huge disparities in rural states such as Iowa," said Taz Clayburn, community-outreach coordinator at the AIDS Project of Central Iowa. "African Americans are only 2.8 percent of the population but 56 percent of our state's HIV and AIDS cases."
"We're seeing a huge increase in infections among African-American women in Des Moines," Clayburn added. "It's important to link African-American women to care and persuade them to motivate themselves as a priority. As Black women, we don't take care of ourselves–we take care of everybody else first."
Blacks account for 50 percent of HIV infections in rural counties, according the Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention, whose research suggests that the rural epidemic may be shifting toward African-American women.
To complicate matters: "Since Iowa is considered a 'low incidence' state, we've lost 55 percent of our prevention funding starting January 1," Clayburn added.
It's a similar story in the southwest, where Blacks are few in number but disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS. Blacks are only four percent of Arizona's population but are three times as likely to become infected, reported the East Valley Tribune which adds: "The HIV rate for Black women in Arizona is nearly nine times higher than that for white women."
"The Black community is very small here, but we're targeting resources to Black women and Black men who have sex with men," said Kathy Donner, HIV prevention manager at the Arizona Department of Health Services.
"Everyone Has a Story"
"First the epidemic was first thought of as only affecting white gay men," added Clayburn. "Then gay men, now African-American gay men. When will women become a priority?"
Dr. Parker led a workshop entitled "What's Next and What's Needed with HIV Research with Women?" "Nine out of ten Black women are contracting HIV through heterosexual contact," Dr. Parker said. "So to understand Black women and the epidemic, we also must address their partners. And for Black women, socially and historically it's going to be Black men."
"We're not comfortable discussing sex and sexuality in the Black community," said Dr. Parker. "In order to de-stigmatize HIV/AIDS, we have to de-stigmatize sex and learn to discuss it in a healthy manner."
A reception and screening of the "Everyone Has Story" video training series developed by Atlanta-based SisterLove, which has been lauded for its community-based risk-reduction strategy, addressed this stigma. The videos "empower Black women who are HIV-positive to share their stories and manage their condition," said SisterLove founder and president Dázon Dixon Diallo. The event was hosted by Diallo and Emmy-nominated actress Vanessa Williams.
"For the past 22 years, Sister Love has created interventions that celebrate women's sexuality while teaching us to be safe," explained Diallo. "It is hard for many women to say, 'I am a sexual human being.' Now they can say, 'As long as I have all the tools to keep myself safe, I can be, do and have whatever I want!'"
Atlanta resident Phyllis Malone was featured in one of the videos, which were produced by Merck. "It's amazing and empowering to see myself on the screen," she said to applause.
"I was diagnosed in 1996. I went to jail and was in prison," Malone said. "When I was released, SisterLove gave me transitional housing and later helped me find a house! I stopped taking my meds for about two years. But I returned to SisterLove. I don't want to forget my story. My past made me who I am today."

Presidential Advisory
Council on HIV/AIDS: World AIDS Day Statement
The 2011 theme for World AIDS Day is "Getting to Zero." The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS commends the Obama Administration on its leadership and investment in the domestic and global AIDS epidemics and for maintaining the previous administration's commitment to prioritize global HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. Not only has the United States' leadership saved the lives of millions, American-funded research has identified interventions that, if effectively implemented, hold the promise of ending the AIDS pandemic in our lifetime. We respectfully urge the President and his Administration to make a bold announcement on World AIDS Day about these important scientific advances and the potential they bring toward achieving zero new infections, zero AIDS-related deaths and zero discrimination – and to commit the resources necessary to make this promise a reality. We stand ready to publicly support the President's leadership and commitment to several realistic actions:
1. An announcement on World AIDS Day 2011 that science has made it possible for us to begin to end the AIDS pandemic, and that we as a nation are committed to this goal.
2. Based on research establishing that AIDS treatment is also HIV prevention, a commitment to scale up AIDS treatment to cover six million people by 2013 along with other evidence-based, combination prevention interventions through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
3. A challenge to donor and affected countries to increase investments in the response to HIV/AIDS and to join the United States in a "step up" effort to scale-up high-impact efforts— from condom distribution to antiretroviral treatment access—that can greatly reduce both deaths and new infections.
A pledge to move forward on ending the AIDS epidemic in the United States and to address disparities, including the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black Americans, by continuing to implement the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) with a commitment of resources for HIV prevention, care, treatment, housing and other support services to meet the NHAS targets, and to forcefully defend full implementation of the Affordable Care Act, including the federal commitment to the Medicaid program, with its potential to greatly enhance prevention and treatment of HIV.
5. A commitment to defend global health budgets including a bold commitment to fund PEPFAR, the administration's multi-year Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria pledge, and domestic HIV research, prevention, care and housing programs in appropriations and debt negotiations in fiscal year (FY) 2012 and beyond.
6. A call for new investments in research coupled with public-health driven research and development incentive mechanisms and policies to make new tools and technologies available that will help bring an end to the AIDS crisis.
Leadership on these important initiatives must be grounded in a human-rights based approach that responds to the prevention, care and treatment needs of all people, including key affected populations such as women and girls, children, men who have sex with men, transgender persons, sex workers and injection drug users. It is our sincere belief that the end of AIDS is within our grasp and that we can get to zero. By fully implementing the tools that United States-funded research has brought us, we could radically change the course of this epidemic in our lifetime. We urge President Obama to seize this moment of opportunity and publicly declare his support for and commitment to this goal. •

Humane Society Receives Flood of Donations after Fire
The Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society has raised more than $115,000 since a fire destroyed parts of its facility late Wednesday night, according to a spokeswoman for the organization.
At least 12 cats were killed and more than 35 animals were displaced by the blaze, which was reported at 11:57 p.m. at 2700 Ninth St., officials said.
A shelter spokeswoman said the humane society has received tremendous support from the community, including $115,000 in online donations, since the fire.
"Not too many people can say that we raised $115,000 in one day," O'Donnell said. "We just feel so appreciated and thankful."
Fire officials, however, estimate the facility will need at least $500,000 worth of repairs.
The hospital, shelter area and administrative officers are all unusable, O'Donnell said, and the fire left the building without electricity, running water or phone service.
Today, the group office manager was looking into having the electricity restored, according to O'Donnell.
"We're taking it one step at a time," she said.
Several organizations have also stepped up to help house the displaced animals and raise money, O'Donnell said.
Animal care centers are storing the animals until foster homes are found for them, and the Marin Humane Society is donating the proceeds of an event this weekend to the East Bay chapter.
"Our biggest concern right now is trying to get as many donations as we possibly can," O'Donnell said.
Donations can be made online at http://www.berkeleyhumane.org/ or by calling (510) 845-7735.

Fairway and AWI Honor a Fredericksburg VeteranDecember 19, 2018 1:33 pm
A Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation branch in Fredericksburg, Virginia partnered with the American Warrior Initiative (AWI) to honor a local U.S. veteran with a grant. Along with a donation, the Fredericksburg branch held a residential housing "boot camp" to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to best handle the home-purchase needs of active duty military members and veterans.
The honoree at the Fredericksburg event was Staff Sergeant Joseph "Joe" Zujkowski, who served in the U.S. Army and was twice deployed to Iraq as an intelligence analyst. During his second deployment to Iraq, Zujkowski was wounded in combat and he later received a Purple Heart.
Zujkowski and his wife, who is also a veteran, have three children. Their son, Isaac, is five years old and has cerebral palsy. Through generous donations, Fairway and AWI were able to honor the Zujkowski family with a financial grant to help pay for a van that can more easily store Isaac's wheelchair.
Co-founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage. AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer any questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, please give me a call.Veterans

These pizza puffs were well received and I personally enjoyed the bite size pizzas almost more then a regular pizza - which further supports my infatuation for all things cute and little. These would be great to serve for any party as an appetizer and they come together fast. The best thing is they freeze beautifully and your guests will never know :)
