Dear Em.
Your letter of April 30 just received and I must say that it sure does contain some encouragement. Although you say you have written others, this one of April 30 is the latest one since the 21st that Ive received to date. Im not going to go into any details as to my present status, but beleive me Em Im going to come back just as you say, Im going to.
We are still on the same front from which my other letters were written only a little farther along. Say Em this part of France is pretty, and right here I want to take back some of the harsh things Ive said about France and her climate. As usual Ive received quite a lot of mail this trip, and of coarse that means the most of my spare time taken up for the next two or three days.
To answer you in regard to Capt. Tobey. After an absense of seven weeks he is again with the regiment but not as yet in command of his company. No Em, again I will say it was no fault of mine that brought on the change. You probably will want to know just what I am doing now. Well Em our regiment just at present is not in the line but not far from it, nor will it be long before we are in again. We are enjoying the little rest very much though, and already feel that we can again take our place. Im as fat as ever and I bet I weigh between 60-70 lbs. can you O.O. me. I wish you could get a glimse at me now. Of coarse we dont know when we will go in but Im going to have some beef to lose.
Now Em Im going to give you some news. Last night we had the pleasure (and pleasure it was Em) to see a real American woman, hear real American singing, and some real American jokes, and from a real American actress Elsie Janis. Say Em it was great, and I don't believe I ever appreciated a star as I did her the few minutes she had to spare. She told some jokes which were good, sang, danced, lead the band, and invited any private to get up on the platforme and dance the fox trot with her. (I was in the back row). She sang a song "Over Here" with the same tune to "Over There" you've probably heard it. "I dont want to get well." Well any way she was the "darb" and her stunts over here will never be forgotten by the real trench dogs. She has pulled the string that sent one of our largest shells over to the Boshe and is having many narrow escapes in the work she is doing.
Am sorry to hear they have stopped the $10. and we can thank politics for that. It was one of the inducements for the boys to inlist. I was glad though to hear that you are all well. Do you remember, of my speaking of getting a package from a sister to one of the boys at the shop. I just got a letter from her stating that she had already left for over here as a red cross nurse. Im not looking for a blighty but if this is the case that song may apply to me.
This is not much of a letter but it lets you know that Im still on my feet and feeling fine. I purchased a pretty good tooth brush at the Y.M.C.A. yesterday and now I am tip top again. Ive got to answer letters received from, two fellows at the shop that were "just globbed", the shipper, Miss Freat the nurse and S.B. When this is all done Ill feel as though I did my bit of writing. In closing I want to assure you that Im the same Sam. Hoping to get your other letters
Love to all

Our opinions often are formed by our personal experiences and the facts of which we are aware. Those opinions are the foundation for our actions. It's not hard to see why people who aren't open to new experiences and additional facts might cling to opinions and actions that make little sense to others.
That's why I admire people who are open to other people's opinions and to new data, even if they differ from their own opinions. During my interview with this year's Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, founder and CEO of the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas (see profile starting on page 62), I was interested in how open he was to change, especially when it came to changing his mind about certain fitness tenets he had made popular.
It shouldn't have surprised me that Cooper readily admitted to having changed his mind about certain things. One of the biggest changes in his thinking was that diet did not matter when it came to fitness. However, after hearing from distraught widows who told him that their husbands ran marathons and exercised regularly but did not eat healthy foods and died of heart attacks, he researched the subject and realized that a healthy diet is essential to longevity. So, in 1982, he began using the term "wellness," and included within that exercise, proper weight and a nutritious diet.
For a long time, Cooper also promoted that exercise had to be intense for people to get any benefits. However, a 1989 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that even moderately fit people lived longer than unfit people. Based on that research, Cooper changed his exercise recommendation, saying that people don't need to train for marathons to live longer, they just need to stop being couch potatoes.
"He wasn't afraid to admit that he had been wrong before," says Tedd Mitchell, CEO of the Cooper Clinic, part of the Cooper Aerobics Center. "Too many people make their name off a particular thing and stick to their guns on that, even when data suggests something else."
If Cooper can see new research, conclude that his opinions are incorrect and start preaching something new, then it should be easy for club owners to change their direction as well. How many times have you tried the same action only to find that it doesn't work, and yet, you keep trying it hoping for a different outcome because you are certain you are right? With the economy as tough as it is today, basing your actions on opinions that may be outdated isn't the smartest move.
What caused Cooper to change his mind each time? New data that proved that something was different than he had theorized. How many of your marketing actions are based on theories about what will attract people into your clubs, and how many of your programming decisions are based on theories about what your members want? Where's your research to back those theories?
You don't need the Cooper Institute (the research arm of the Cooper Aerobics Center) to change your theories. You simply need a professionally developed and administered survey that will collect the data that you need and a professional to analyze that data so that you can turn it into new actions. Oh, and an open mind willing to admit that your old direction wasn't working would help, too. It sure seemed to work for Cooper.

SEO for Local Search – David Mihm
A nice 10 minute-ish video with David Mihm on SEO strategies for Local Search:
[Vimeo 5119126]
Click here to access David Mihm's articles at Search Engine Land.
Hyperlocal – Core Dimensions (Part 2)
This is the third in a series of posts on key dimensions of Hyperlocal. Other posts in this series are:
In the previous post, we explored the dimensions of Hyperlocal News and Commerce. In this post, we will explore Local Advertising and Hyperlocal Community.
Local Advertising
Local Advertising is definitely a key part of Local Business/Commerce, which I explored in the previous post. But local advertising can also be embedded within Local News and Local Community portals. Thus I've chose to deal with it as a separate topic.
Insights into Local/Hyperlocal Advertising
First off, I have a few favorite resources for keeping informed in the Local/Hyperlocal advertising space. These are:
- Borrell Associates blog
- BIA/Kelsey blog
- Screenwerk – Greg Sterling's blog
Borrell Associates – headed up by CEO Gordon Borrell – also sponsors the Local Online Advertising Conference, which was held in New York city early this month.
Jeff Jarvis also frequently has compelling insights into Advertising strategies for Local News Media. For example, see his recent blog posts from February 2010: Stop selling scarcity and NewBizNews: What ad sales people hear.
Search Engine Marketing/SEO for SMEs
Obviously, SEM strategies are critical for any local online business on the web. My top go-to resources for local SEM/SEO insights are:
- Small Business Search Marketing by Matt McGee
- SEO by the Sea – Bill Slawski's blog
- Understanding Google Maps and Local Search – Mike Blumenthal's blog
- Chris Silver Smith
- The Noisy Channel – Daniel Tunkelang's blog
- David Mihm
- Local SEO Guide – Andrew Shotland's blog
- Search Engine Land
- John Battelle's Searchblog
Big Ad Networks
On the solution provider front, you have the big ad networks around Search Engine marketing, some of which include:
Local Advertising Media/Platforms
A number of application/media providers – many with a mobile focus – are positioned to be significant players, including:
Niche/Regional-based Ad Networks and Services
Increasingly, however, you also have your niche/regional-based ad networks and service providers. Here's some examples:
- Adify
- Clickable
- GrowthSpur
- ReachLocal
- Yodle
- WebVisible
- Spot Runner
- Sacremento Press
- Village Voice Media
Bargains and Deals
Numerous vendors provide applications to notify consumers of bargains and deals in the local vicinity, including:
Additional Local Advertising Solution Providers
One more advertising solution provider I'll mention:
So there you have it, a sampling of Local Advertising solution providers. Local Advertising should be a very interesting space to watch in 2010, particularly when it comes to mobile, location-based tools and technologies.
Local Community
The Local Community view of HyperLocal is about information and events of interest to the Community. Information and Events around the Local Community may be contributed by businesses, community organizations, or municipal governmental sources, or it may be user-generated content contributed by the Community.
When you talk Community, by definition you are talking about Social Networks. Therefore, you have to consider the various social networking platforms, and particularly those that host large social graphs. I'm thinking here most specifically of:
Many of the HyperLocal News platforms are also positioning themselves as Local Community platforms. For example:
You also have open city initiatives/discussions such as those initiated by:
For additional information on open city initiatives, see here.
Then there are do-it-yourself City initiatives and tools, for example:
You have Local Event platforms, such as:
And finally, organizational and community tools around local causes. See:
- The Extraordinaries, also see here
- Localgiving
This is really just a very small sampling of possible ways/platforms for organizing people within a geographic community. I look for a lot of innovation in this space over the next several years.
HyperLocal Business Models
This viewpoint explores various ways to make a HyperLocal business commercially viable. There's some great pioneering work being done by Jeff Jarvis and the folks at CUNY here – see the New Business Models for News Project at CUNY, and Jarvis' overview of the work on HyperLocal business models here.
More on this to come.

N.Y. county vows to withhold pistol permit data
- State senator calls release of data an invasion of privacy even though law says it's public
- County clerk says he has received an onslaught of calls demanding he not release the information
- In past, state's highest court has ruled that the information is public
CARMEL, N.Y. — Putnam County officials, who say they will refuse a newspaper's request to release the names and addresses of residents with pistol permits, would break New York law in withholding the data, a state official said.
The opinion from Robert Freeman, executive director of the state's Committee on Open Government, came after an announcement Tuesday from a state senator and two county officials that they would refuse to release the data requested by The (Westchester, N.Y.) Journal News, which sought the records under the state Freedom of Information Law.
Putnam County officials in December said it was compiling the data. Putnam County has about 100,000 residents and is part of the New York metropolitan area.
State Sen. Greg Ball, a Republican from Patterson, N.Y., called the Journal News' decision to publish the data "asinine" and an invasion of privacy. He scheduled a press conference Thursday with Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell and Putnam County Clerk Dennis Sant to announce the decision.
Sant said his office has received an onslaught of calls demanding that he not release the data.
But Freeman said the law is clear: "The name and address of any gun licensee are public."
On Dec. 23, The Journal News published a report and interactive map, identifying the names and addresses of those who legally hold pistol permits in Westchester and Rockland counties. At that time, a request also was made to Putnam County.
That map ignited a firestorm of controversy but also generated support. All three requests for the gun data followed last month's mass killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Freeman said The Journal News could appeal a denial, which would be heard within Putnam County government. If a second denial occurred, paper could ask a judge to decide.
The Wall Street Journal asked New York City officials to turn over similar gun data several years ago. Freeman said that request was denied, but the state's highest court later ruled in favor of newspaper.
Ball was firm in his position.
"I'm proud to stand with Putnam County and proud that Putnam won't be releasing its pistol permit records," he said in a statement. "The asinine editors at the Journal News have gone out of their way to place a virtual scarlet letter on law abiding firearm owners throughout the region and I thank God that Putnam County has a clerk with the guts to stand up and draw the line here."
Sant said he was happy to protect law-abiding gun owners in his county.
"There is the rule of law, and there is right and wrong, and The Journal News is clearly wrong," he said in a statement. "I could not live with myself if one Putnam pistol permit holder was put in harm's way, for the sole purpose of selling newspapers."
Odell could not be reached for comment.
Journal News President and Publisher Janet Hasson defended her publication Tuesday.
"We believe the law is clear that this is public information, and the residents of Putnam County are entitled to see it. We're troubled that county officials have apparently switched their position since we first requested the information."

Nino's Pizza: A Bay Ridge Gem
Pizza reviews in NYC.
Walk into Nino's Pizza in Bay Ridge and the first thing you'll notice is how narrow the place is. With only a few feet of width between pizza counter and wall, the presence of just one or two customers makes entering a little difficult. You could wait outside until someone departs, but if you do others will go in. So enter, pretend you have no issue with limited personal space—anyway, there are tables in the back—and study the selection of pies.
If, aside from well-developed crust, you are like me and like good tomato flavor, you'll need to try more than one of Nino's pies. Many of them feature bright red tomato sauce painted in stripes across the top.
My love for tomato-prominence exists in part as a response to the curious "evaporation effect" that seems to strike the sauce component of many pizzas. Does the baking of low-moisture mozzarella at 650º suck the liquid out of submerged sauce? Do pizzerias skimp to save $? Do only chunks survive? Who knows.
But at tomato-happy Nino's, even the regular slice ($2.50)—an option I would avoid, not because there's anything wrong with it, but only because the other choices are better—offers plenty of sauce under its thick coat of stretchy low-moisture cheese.
You should start with a square of Gran Mama ($2.50), Nino's thin spin on the pizza type that likely migrated to the five boroughs from Long Island, but originated in the kitchens of Italian home cooks. According to its menu, Nino's is "Where the real grandma pizza first took place." It's a bold claim that of course can't be true—in fact, an owner confessed to me that they've offered a grandma pie for only about ten years—but, he clarified, since their grandma differs from the others, they call it the "first real grandma." In other words, their way is the real way.
Never mind this. Nino's Gran Mama is different and it is excellent! The crust is super thin, but not at all brittle. In fact, every bite yields chew as well as crunch; quite a feat. On top of a par-baked flat "shell," they first distribute an even layer of low-moisture mozzarella, then paint on diagonal stripes of a semi-chunky marinara sauce, and finish the job with strokes of basil-laced olive oil. Some may find this pizza too saucy, but not me; on more than one occasion I have wished for extra Staten Island-bound traffic so that I can stop at Nino's for this exact slice. (Nino's is located in Brooklyn, not far from the shadow of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.)
Another tomato-centric pie at Nino's is the Margherita ($19 pie, $3 slice). During our visit last weekend, this was my wife's favorite. (I can't pick a favorite.) Nino's Margherita is a round masterpiece made with cloud-white, fresh mozzarella, real-deal NYC crust (it chews, it crackles, it folds), and an ample supply of smooth tomato sauce—done in stripes, of course. Its basil component, requisite for any pizza called "Margherita," is the aforementioned basil oil. A post-bake scatter of basil leaves would add a little something—but why squabble? Nino's Margherita is good the way it is.
We also tried a slice from Nino's Sofia Loren (their only offering named for a person—unless you count grandma) ($3.50), which features a big-chunk tomato sauce, garlic two ways (it's cooked into the sauce and also scattered on raw before baking), and that same cloud-white mozzarella. (Nino's sources its mozzarella from Aiello Brothers in Brooklyn. They make good cheese.) This garlicky, tomato-amped version of the Margherita reminds me of pasta with tomato sauce and garlic, but as a pizza (I know, cliché, but it's true).
One surprise at Nino's—given my years-long affair with their thinner crust pies—is the Sicilian pizza ($2.50), which I tried for the first time last weekend. It offers good complexity from ample fermentation, it has chew, and—despite its thickness—it tastes light. The tomato sauce commands authority over the cheese component, such that it avoids the heaviness often characteristic of Sicilian pizza in New York. In other words, it does not fall to the bottom of your stomach like an avalanche boulder. And it's really good.
Of course, there is no gold standard when it comes to the ingredient proportionality of a pizza. Excluding toppings, there are three parts: dough, sauce, and cheese. Some places— like Joe's Pizza on Carmine Street, in the Village—emphasize equality of parts. And while I realize it's what hungry stomachs and/or inebriated brains often want, the pizza at many places has too much cheese. At Nino's, the tilt is toward tomato. This makes me happy because good canned tomatoes contribute fresh flavor to pizza.
Nino's makes excellent pizza in a neighborhood filled with pizzerias. It would take several visits to hit them all. Without question, Nino's is a good place to start. Head down, squeeze your way in, and start eating.
I've posted a related piece about Nino's on my blog, Pizzacentric. You can link to it here.

A new rumor states that Apple is planning to totally overhaul it's main products next year, including the iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Air. New goodies!
Specifically, the rumor says we should expect a "slightly refreshed" iPad 2, with a thinner design and better battery, in March. A fully redesigned iPad 3 will come in the third quarter.
We'll also get a brand new iPhone and iMac in the second quarter, which points towards a June release. As for a new MacBook Air, that was just refreshed in July, so don't expect a new version of that much before next July.

Adamantium Meets Spider Silk
So Spider-Man and Wolverine walk into a bar... hilarity ensues. This Wednesday, The Amazing Spider-Man: Extra! #2 will hit comic book shelves across the country. Zeb Wells and I have an 18 page back-up story that I hope you'll enjoy. It's my first crack at coloring interiors and, hopefully, not my last.
Here's the same panel without the blessing of Phather Photoshop:
I feel like I haven't gotten much artwork done since this issue... a whole lotta writing lectures, doing sketches, and running errands. I'm still getting the Red Sonja Step by Step feature organized as well. The good news is I'm focusing on painting for the next month or so, about 6 covers in all, a couple of which are my new favorites. And a couple that may garner some publicity. We shall see. I'll show as soon as Marvel will let me.
Later this week, I'll be heading back to RISD as a visiting critic. My colleague (and roommate), R. Kikuo Johnson, is teaching a comics class this wintersession and invited me to join him. I can't wait.
And finally, to stick with tradition, here's another panel of Spider-Man being cold:
7 comments:
I really think that Marvel and whoever else lets you color your own work from now on.ReplyDelete
It's great, seriously. I enjoy the way you color everything, how you got the shadows and all look extremely well.
Plus, how great would it be to color your own work?
Love It!ReplyDelete
We should setup a "Have Paolo Color His Own Stuff" petition to send off to Marvel.
Maybe they'll print it in the letters column.
I think I'll be able to color everything from now on. The only reason I didn't color the Punisher story is because I didn't have time. But now with my assistant's help, I can color pretty quickly. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousTuesday, January 27, 2009
Kudos to you and Reid for doing the Wintersession course, Paolo. Please say "hi" to Nick Jainschigg for me and the Hubs if you run into him.ReplyDelete
You have an assistant now? That's pretty sweet. What's the punishment for unsatisfactory or insolent behavior?
Will do, Christina (although Reid says the regulars aren't around as much during wintersession).ReplyDelete
My assistant was previously my unpaid intern. It's great: I just send him bitmaps and he sends me back colored images. I'll let you know if he's ever insolent.
- AnonymousWednesday, January 28, 2009
Can you color my stuff?ReplyDelete
You know I'd love to, Paul... but you'd have to come back to Marvel!ReplyDelete

The CSS Working Group published a Last Call Working Draft of CSS Shapes Module Level 1 yesterday. This specification describes how to assign an arbitrary shape such as a circle or polygon to a float and to have inline content wrap around the shape's contour, rather than the boring old float rectangle.
A Last Call draft is the signal that the working group thinks the specification is nearly done and ready for wider review. If the review (which has a deadline of January 7th, 2014) goes well, then the spec goes on to the next step. At that point, the W3C invites implementations in order to further validate the specification. We at Adobe have been implementing CSS Shapes in WebKit and Blink for a while, but this milestone opens the door for more browsers to take up the feature.
This means that 2014 will be the year you'll see CSS Shapes show up in cutting-edge browsers. The effort then moves to making sure these implementations all match, and that we have a good set of tests available to show interoperability. My hope is that by the end of next year, you'll be able to use shapes on floats in many browsers (with a fallback to the normal rectangle when needed).

BEVERLY HILLS, CA and WHITE PLAINS, NY — Recent research showing that hotel fitness rooms often disappoint travelers and that travelers who exercise perform 61 percent better than non-exercisers on alertness and reaction tests, have led Hilton Hotels and Resorts and Westin Hotels and Resorts to make changes to their hotel fitness offerings.
Hilton signed an agreement with Bally Total Fitness to provide guests with access to more than 5,000 personal trainers at Hilton or Bally locations across the country. Starting Feb.1, the hotel chain is also enhancing in-room exercise options with a "mini-gym," designed by Bally, that includes a yoga mat, elastic exercise bands, resistance tubing, two sets of hand weights and basic conditioning instructions that can be done privately or with a personal trainer. Treadmills are also available for in-room use in more than 100 locations for a fee.
"This new relationship with Bally Total Fitness provides our guests the additional motivation to maintain an existing exercise program, start a new one or simply get the advice and guidance of a certified personal trainer," said Jeffrey Diskin, senior vice president — brand management and marketing for Hilton.
Westin Hotels also recognized fitness as a priority for its guests, spending $12 million to build in its hotels new fitness centers inspired by upscale health clubs. New treadmills, cycles, elliptical trainers, medicine balls, yoga mats and core boards were installed in 53 new WestinWORKOUT® Powered by Reebok fitness facilities in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean. Another 40 centers are slated to open in 2005, primarily in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The Westin facilities include fitness regimens for travelers and an in-room yoga and Pilates workout. Select locations offer fitness and wellness classes, such as water Tai Chi, Cardio Burn, Spinning and circuit interval training.
To promote the new facilities, Westin is launching a $2 million print campaign in mainstream and fitness-related publications.
"Working out on the road is a priority for many travelers but hotels have typically cut corners in hotel workout rooms, and we wanted to fix that," said Sue Brush, senior vice president of Westin, in a release.
Hilton's changes occurred after a study conducted on behalf of the hotel by the former director of NASA's Fatigue Countermeasure Program. Westin's changes stemmed from a study by Lieberman Research Worldwide conducted for Westin.

August 15, 2007 - A few months back, we revealed a few tidbits about the upcoming LucasArts / Day 1 Studios game Fracture. Since E3, a few pieces of the story and shots of the game's graphics have started to impress us. Unfortunately, maybe not as much as we would like to have, but then again the release of the game is still quite a ways off. You can bet, as we get closer we will have loads of more info for us to drool over. After all, when LucasArts is involved you can almost bet it will be an entertaining title.
The first thing revealed about the game was some of the details of the story. The new cinematics show us the beginning of the war between the engineers of Pacifica and the cybernetic Atlantic Alliance. It looks like Al Gore was right as Global Warming has ravaged the Earth and left the world's geographical plains in total distress. To try to fix the problem, humanity created a tectonic device that would allow people to change the Earth with their own ideas in mind. Naturally, as it is with most everything, the device created in order to save the world and humanity is now used in combat.
Aside from this new terraforming weapon of war, a few scientists from Harvard and MIT begin work on perfecting the human race through cybernetics. This new project is being called HUMANITY 2.0. Shortly after the introduction of this new way of life, it collapses, falling victim to horrible mutations and diseases. The research soon becomes outlawed in the Eastern states, and the scientists involved in the program flee to the Western states to continue their research. After allying with Asian nations that support the continued research into the genetic fields, a split between the nations occurs and thus form the Pacifican Empire. The Eastern states, after abandoning all genetic research, begin building armies focusing on the cybernetic sides of human evolution. They become the Atlantic Alliance after allying themselves with several European countries.
The year players begin experiencing the new way to go to war will be 2161. As a soldier in the Atlantic Alliance charged with missions to bring the Pacifican Empire to its knees, each player will have to use their personal tectonic weapons to turn the tides of the battle, though they will have to be careful not to turn the tides in the favor of their enemies. These strategic tactics of the game will become more apparent in the multiplayer of the game. However, this could also become an extremely difficult thing for the game, making the online multiplayer potentially become too convoluted with the new terra-formed landscape. This was apparent in a few of the videos I have seen for the game. While the graphics are looking much better now than in the previous images of the game, I do wonder how the explosive uses of the tectonic weapons will affect the graphic performance of the game. With game having almost a full year left before arriving on our consoles, I fully believe that any problems this may cause will be ironed out as much as possible.
While only a few brief bits of information have been revealed surrounding Fracture, it is enough to begin the rumblings of the anticipation. The story may be nothing entirely new as far as the basic plot of faction vs. faction, but the new potentials of combat are setting up this game to become the game to own next summer. We will have to wait until more information about the games arrives, but having the ability to control the shape of the world to increase my possibilities of winning the war will be an entertaining aspect I look forward to experiencing. Keep checking back to find out all of the latest information on Fracture as we get closer to the release date for the game.

In the modern world it can be remarkably easy to discover where you are. A simple tap on the screen of a smart phone or consultation with a car's GPS device instantly reports our location on the planet with almost absurd precision. Such effortless ability to locate ourselves in time and space can shroud the complications of maintaining emotional bearings in the more ambiguous, upside-down world of living with HIV. Those who are newly diagnosed, as well as long-term survivors, are buffeted by the powerful forces unleashed by living with or around HIV, and frequently find it challenging to maneuver this emotional realm.
Researchers are increasingly documenting the importance of social support in maintaining healthy resilience. While medications have altered the landscape of living and dying from the virus, it is increasingly clear that pharmacological interventions alone are not sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of linkage, entry and retention in care.
Psychosocial stressors, including inadequate support, can take a toll on those living with or affected by HIV. They result in denial and avoidance of testing, they affect treatment adherence, and they can push an emotional low point into a crushing depression. Perhaps most harmful, whether from stigma or other factors, individuals may be shunned by their families and communities and thus lose their vital support system. HIV can be characterized by social isolation. Those who cannot find a way to successfully develop a meaningful support network may find their health severely impacted.
I know from my interactions with countless patients that being seen and heard -- simply being socially connected -- can have a profound healing effect. Therefore, it is noteworthy that research findings reported at the 19th International AIDS Conference in July 2012 documented the significant healing role played by one's social context. Health is enhanced when we are surrounded by people who love us and when we, in turn, feel part of something larger than ourselves.
One such study, Collaborative HIV/AIDS Mental Health Project (CHAMP), presented by Susan Reif of the Center for Health Policies Inequalities and Research, looked at treatment barriers for co-occurring mental illness among persons living with HIV. Such disorders are highly prevalent, are associated with negative health outcomes and are often untreated (based on access to health care, stigma and a variety of other factors). This study of a population in North Carolina used a combination of in-home and community-based counseling. There were significant improvements over time in a number of standardized assessments, underscoring the benefit of mental health care that is both accessible and culturally appropriate. Further research will determine the relative effectiveness of the two interventions in this study: in-home versus community based care.
The power of supportive psychosocial care expressed in the family unit was the focus of a presentation by Lucia Knight (Care and support by households and extended families in the era of HIV treatment: Responses to HIV and AIDS in rural South Africa) about HIV care and support by households and families in rural South Africa. The aim was to assess the ability of black South African families to respond to HIV/AIDS and to determine the dynamics which support or inhibit this response. The findings documented the overall resilience of the families and their importance in providing an important safety net for those affected. Social norms such as family obligation and reciprocity enabled those needing assistance to acquire it while at the same time building social capital for the family. The study found, however, that such norms were frequently limited by conflicting obligations or lack of resources and should, therefore, not be taken for granted. Clearly, support of family systems, both in the U.S. and abroad, is a beneficial way to improve the care of those living with HIV.
Families were also the focus of a study on black MSM, a population with the highest incidence of HIV in the United States, reported by John Schneider (Family network proportion and HIV risk among Black men who have sex with men [BMSM]). Utilizing an egocentric network approach, these researchers determined the proportion of close social network members who were also family members. About 45% of respondents reported at least one close member of their network as family. Greater family involvement, especially of males, was associated with reduced risk behaviors. The study highlighted the need to better understand the role of brothers, fathers and other male family members of BMSM in HIV prevention efforts. Research is also underway to assess the role of family ("of origin" or "of choice") in supporting primary HIV care and treatment adherence of young BMSM.
The essential support of families and communities can benefit not just those living with the virus but those affected by it, as well. A study reported by REPSSI, the Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative (When time doesn't heal: childhood traumatic grief among orphans in rural Zambia), investigated factors that sustain or inhibit ongoing traumatic grief among orphans in sub-Saharan Africa. Factors one presumes might have a great impact, such as circumstances of the parent's (or parents') death, were not highly significant. What was most important was how the children were cared for in their families and communities following the death of their parent. Multiple sequential losses of a primary caregiver, within-household discrimination, a negative relationship with current caregiver, and daily stress and bullying were all found to be significant in predicting ongoing traumatic grief among children orphaned because of HIV. The study found that community-based initiatives played a critical role in allaying some of the debilitating mental health complications among these orphans.
Whether in the United States or abroad, among those living with the virus or those affected by it, the health-promoting effects of family and community are enormous. The healing potential of these connections is beginning to be documented and should be an essential component of ongoing HIV prevention and treatment interventions. In the end, self-esteem, self-respect and resilience can only be achieved when our efforts to stay physically and emotionally healthy are reflected back to us in actions of others and take place in a social context of encouragement and support.

Google's Compute Engine, a cloud-computing service, just scored a significant new deal.
It signed up its first reseller, a company called RightScale, reports GigaOM's Barb Darrow, who broke the news.
RightScale offers what it calls a "cloud management platform." It helps an enterprise automate routine tasks, monitor usage and monthly costs, control security options, and so on.
RightScale works with other major providers of Internet-delivered computing power and storage, including Amazon, RackSpace, HP Cloud, and Windows Azure.
RightScale's product has always worked with Compute Engine since the cloud Google launched the cloud service with much fanfare in June. But now the company will also sell Google's cloud to enterprises, and hold their hands if things go wrong. That's a big deal for a lot of enterprises who want to know someone will always answer when they call.
Darrow notes that the bigger partnership comes just a week after Amazon launched a new service called OpsWorks, which basically competes with some of what RightScale does.
As Google gets more serious about its cloud, it has a chance to be some real competition for Amazon. No one knows how to run apps in the cloud better than Google. Plus, Google promises to be both faster and cheaper than Amazon Web Services.

Bad sequels
This Wright character (anyone I see on TV is automatically a "character" in my mind) seems to be such a raging egomaniac, absolutely destroying anything between him and more media attention. Like a worn-out movie franchise, everyone's sick of him, but he still won't go away.

This piece is about a theme that interests me greatly: the dichotomy between what we think about and how we act. I suppose it's called repression in normal days. But everyone, EVERYONE, has been stuck somewhere they didn't want to be, were required to be, and wished they weren't. If you can't leave, at least your mind can.

Greyhound Racing as I see it
Seriously, they do horrible things to dogs behind the race tracks. You'll hear the breeders say things like, "greyhounds like to run," and ,"wee treat our dogs humanely." Well, all dogs like to run. No dog likes to be forced to run in the blistering sun while wearing a muzzle (meaning it can't keep bugs and dust out of its nose.) And yes, I'm sure that the top racers are treated humanely. I'm more concerned with the dogs that don't perform well. The ones breeders cull from the pack the moment they start to slow down.
Dog racing is not culture. It is not heritage. It is animal abuse. Plain and simple.

Barack Obama: To Infinity and Beyond
Barack Obama has these two key words: change and hope. A very forward looking guy, he really is the candidate of the future. If he's not wearing his helmet as he blasts off into space, it's because he doesn't have very much experience with this kind of thing.
Hillary: Kill Bill
As I was drawing this, I noticed that Hillary really does have really huge, buggy, psycho-looking eyes. How better to portray her than as the Bride, always coming back from the dead, and intent on absolutely destroying anything in the way of her goal. This would make Barack Obama Bill Carradine.
McCain: 3 AM potty break
The big joke with John McCain is that he's really old, and that he falls asleep in Congress. He seems like he'd be much more comfortable lying in bed with his Rambo teddy, and the phone unplugged, just in case someone DOES call at 3 AM.

This piece I am particularly proud of. This design will adorn a label for Big Tattoo wines. So if you see it on a bottle of Reisling, pick up a copy and mention to any of your art director friends that you think the label makes it taste extra delicious.
Happy 100th, Converse
There's a little history that goes along with this. Converse shoes turn 100 this year, and have decided to celebrate by selling ridiculously overpriced sneakers to the punks who now buy them.

LONDON (Reuters) - Bankers' pay needs to be curbed further to reflect the risk of a bank failure many years after a bonus has been awarded, the Bank of England (BoE) said before the annual bonus season begins next month.
The European Union has already introduced curbs on bankers' bonuses after huge payouts were criticized for helping to create the climate that led to the financial crisis in 2008. Bank shareholders, too, expressed dismay at large bonuses for bank employees despite poor returns.
Measures taken so far include the requirement for a portion of bonuses to be paid in shares over several years, but the BoE's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) believes that these do not go far enough.
Chunks of a bonus are typically deferred for only three years. The FPC, which takes over British bank regulation next year, said that this is not sufficient to deter bankers from taking risky decisions that can have an adverse impact many years later.
"Steps could be taken to ensure that contracts provided sufficient incentives for executives to consider the full implications for long-term business performance," the FPC said in the record of its last quarterly meeting on November 21, which was released on Tuesday.
FPC member Andy Haldane, the BoE's director for financial stability, said on Monday that he was seeing encouraging signs of falling pay for bankers and hoped that it would eventually return to a level closer to that of doctors or lawyers.
The FPC said that a good way to make bankers think twice about taking risks would be to require bonuses to include debt that converted to equity in the event of a bank failure.
The idea of including so-called "bail in" debt in banker's pay packages was aired recently in a report by the European Union's Liikanen Group into the future of bank structures. Such a measure could also make it less likely that further taxpayer bailouts would be needed if a bank gets into trouble.
Last week the BoE said British banks needed to act now to bolster their defenses against financial shocks because many had underestimated the cost of loans going sour and future fines for misconduct.
The record of the November FPC meeting that came to this decision showed a clearer consensus on the issue than previously.
Earlier meetings gave what bankers say were a mixed message: that buffers could be trimmed to boost lending to the economy, and that buffers should also be strengthened to make banks more resilient in the face of a rocky economy in Europe.
The latest meeting gave several specific reasons to justify higher bank capital buffers "for the foreseeable future".
The FPC has also told bank supervisors to report each quarter from next March on what Britain's top banks, such as HSBC (HSBA.L), Lloyds (LLOY.L), Barclays (BARC.L) and RBS (RBS.L), are doing to buttress their capital buffers.
Bankers said that the BoE's estimates of a big capital gap appeared to be a warning shot to the industry to keep trying to sell assets and retain capital, for example by paying lower bonuses.
Any capital shortfall was nowhere near as big as the BoE warned, they said, and if it was it would be virtually impossible for some banks to raise what was needed without getting it from the taxpayer.
A British Bankers' Association spokesman told Reuters that UK banks are already well capitalized and positioned for next year's tougher new capital rules, known as Basel III.

Mormons believe a con artist is a prophet who found golden plates in NY
Mormon beliefs were started by Joseph Smith, a convicted con artist, from Palmyra, New York, who allegedly found golden plates, which he translated to become the Book of Mormon. He claimed in 18 + different accounts 18 different reasons for finding the plates, but the official church reason is that God the father, who has a body of flesh and bones, told him all churches were an abomination and he must restore the true gospel. A few years later, before completing the translation, but after this alleged first vision, Joseph Smith joined one of these abominable churches. Why would he do that?
When someone stole his first translation, he was unable to retranslate it again, and instead provided a "different version" because "God told him to" after a 6 month + hiatus from translating. Nobody has ever "seen the plates" except with their "spiritual eyes." Also a single artifact or scientific evidence verifying the Book of Mormon has never been found.
Joseph Smith also started his own army and declared himself king of the world. Narcissim much?

Call it the "Mournful Dusky-Wing" or the "Sad Dusky-Wing."
Call it what you will, but the Erynnis tristis, a member of the skipper butterfly family (Hesperiidae), is neither mournful nor sad when it's nectaring lavender.
The skipper, distinguishable from other dusky wings by its white fringe, is a frequent floral visitor.
As a caterpillar, its host is oak, including Valley Oak and Cork Oak, says UC Davis butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology.
Compared with other butterflies, including the Western Tiger Swallowtail, "E. T." is not the most beautiful of butterflies.
It doesn't stand out in the crowd. But it does stand out in the lavender.

A day after Microsoft rolled out its Windows browser ballot screen to EU netizens, Opera officially released the Windows incarnation of its latest and greatest desktop browser.
With an eye on Redmond's ballot screen roll-out, the Norwegian browser maker took Opera 10.50 for Windows from pre-Alpha to final version in about 10 weeks - "with a Christmas holiday in between," adds developer Ruari Ødegaard.
The company pushed out the first 10.50 for Windows beta a little more than two weeks ago, and over the weekend, in an apparent effort to get a final version out alongside Microsoft's ballot screen, it offered up five release candidates - count 'em: five - in less than 36 hours.
"RC5, or was it 7?" read a blog post from Ødegaard and the Opera desktop team announcing the fifth release candidate. "We're starting to lose count of the number of release candidates we have had."
The company tells The Reg it put an unusually large number developers onto this particular incarnation of its browser. "This was the planned release date for Opera 10.50 and prior to this we have massively ramped up the available developer resources for desktop," says a company spokeswoman.
"We have had more focus and more developers on this release than most previous releases. Various components have been in the making for a long time. Obviously, we are very happy that we were able to make this previously planned release date and that it coincides with the Choice Screen rollout in Europe."
Microsoft's ballot screen can be traced to a complaint Opera made to the EC in December 2007, claiming that Redmond's Internet Explorer was unfairly tied to Windows. The screen - pushed out to existing users via Windows Update - gives EU citizens a choice of 12 browsers, including Internet Explorer and Opera.
The latest Opera also offers the new Vega graphics engine, support for HTML5 video via the free and open Ogg Theora codec, and the ability to run Opera desktop widgets even when the browser proper is closed.
Today, the company also released new development snapshots of the Mac and UNIX versions of 10.50. "In the last couple of blog posts, several of you commented that our developers deserve some time off and whilst that is true, I know the Mac and UNIX teams are still hungry to get their own versions of 10.50 out. So there will be no slacking off, just yet. Development continues apace!" Ødegaard wrote. Like the final Windows version, these snapshots include the latest rendering improvements to the browser.
You can download the final version of Opera 10.50 for Windows here. The question, of course, is whether 10 weeks is enough to smooth out the rough edges. Do let us know. ®

Source Code
Please be aware that Citadel now uses a "rolling release" model. The download links on this page are the newest, freshest source code images we have released. But for packagers and others who want filenames with version numbers and dates to track, you can look at http://easyinstall.citadel.org/manifest.html .
Required dependencies
The Citadel system relies on the following libraries in order to provide its full set of functionality. (If you are using pre-built packages, or the Easy Install system, these libraries will be brought in for you automatically.)
- Berkeley DB is used as the system's primary data store
- libical for calendar services
- libSieve for server-side sorting and filtering of incoming email
- The Expat XML parser to handle RSS feeds, Jabber/XMPP service, etc.
- libcurl for protocol support
- libmarkdown for markdown to html rendering
Optional dependencies
These will be used if they are present, otherwise the Citadel system will still build but with some minor features missing.
- OpenSSL for SSL/TLS encrypted protocols
- Shared Mime Info Citadel can utilize shared mimeinfo to identify filetypes.
- WebCit can use Icons named to follow the Freedesktop icon Specification as they're used by gnome, kde and so on. For example /usr/share/icons/gnome/24×24/mimetypes could be symlinked into your webcit/static/icons directory so you could use them.
- mod_auth_citadel if you want to integrate other web-applications running in apache with your citadel accounts
- SELinux integration for the Citadel Services: http://sourceforge.net/projects/citadelselinux/ contributed by Stuart Cianos
libcitadel contains common code which is shared across all of the components which make up the Citadel system. Its installation is mandatory. Please install it first. (If you are using pre-built packages, or the Easy Install system, this library will be brought in for
Citadel Server
This is the most recent stable version of Citadel Server. This version is known to work on recent versions of Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris; it should work on other systems as well. See howto compile against EasyInstall in case of you wanting to temporarily replace your citserver. It provides connectivity through:
- SMTP (Port 25 by default)
- POP3 (Port 110 by default; SSL Enabled on port 995)
- IMAP (Port 143 by default; SSL Enabled on port 993)
- Citadel (Port 504; used by dedicated Citadel clients)
- SMTP-MSA (Port 587; requires SMTP authentication)
- ManageSieve (Port 2020; edit your mail filtering scripts with your favorite GUI client)
- Postfix TCP dictionary (if you have an upstream mail hub running Postfix, it can use this service to verify valid email addresses on your Citadel)
- lmtp.socket (Local mail transport, for use with an external MTA if for some reason you do not wish to use Citadel's built in SMTP service)
- lmtp-unfiltered.socket (same as above, but without spam filtering)
- citadel.socket (Citadel protocol)
WebCit provides an elegant, modern web user interface to Citadel, allowing users to access (and privileged users to administer) the system from any web browser. It also allows GroupDAV and Webcal (DAV) clients to connect. WebCit is installed in addition to a working Citadel server; it will not run by itself and it will not run over a non-Citadel server. In almost all cases you will want to run both services (although you can run them on different hosts if you want to).
Text mode client
This optional component provides a Citadel client that runs in a terminal window, exposing a user interface crafted in the style of a Bulletin Board System (BBS).
Included Third Party Dependencies
Several components from the open source community are delivered with Citadel.
- [webcit] prototype for asynchroneous http requests
- [webcit] scriptacolous
- [webcit] tinymce is the choice for rich text editing
- [webcit] Fine Uploader for file uploads
- [webcit] Epic Editor for markdown editing
- [webcit] DatePicker for easy editing of timestamps

End-of-line pressure unit
EDW End-of-line pressure switches are key components in a dual-line lubrication system. Designed to monitor the system, these switches detect the pressure at the end of the respective main line and start the change-over procedure. If the pressure at the end of the line is not reached within a specific period of time, a fault signal will be generated at the electronic control unit.
Features and benefits:
- Controls proper functioning of the pump and change-over unit
- Monitors for leaks in the tube line system
- Available with limit switches or with electronic pressure switches with LED display
- Proven, rigid design for tough conditions

State lawmakers put finishing touches last week on plans to apply federal health care reforms in Maryland come Jan. 1. But who becomes newly insured — and at what cost —still worries stakeholders as the state speeds toward becoming one of the first to adopt a revamped system.
Under legislation passed by the House of Delegates and Senate, more low-income Marylanders would qualify for government-funded health care through Medicaid, and an existing tax on health insurers would sustain a new insurance marketplace once federal support wanes.
State health and insurance officials face a long to-do list during the next nine months as they implement reforms needed before the Affordable Care Act takes effect. They will decide what health plans will be offered in the state, and at what prices; recruit uninsured residents for new coverage; and launch a complex computer system to parse who is eligible for new government assistance.
Given all the work yet to be done, there are still questions about how health care and insurance will look to consumers and how much it will cost. How many people take advantage of the new coverage— and how healthy they are — will help determine whether patients' bills will continue, slow or reverse their rise.
And a dramatic proposed change in the way state hospitals can charge for services could add to the upheaval. On Tuesday, state hospital regulators submitted an application to change the state's Medicare waiver, which allows them to set hospital rates. In other states, hospitals are reimbursed based on rates negotiated with insurers or dictated by Medicare. The proposal would create incentives for Maryland hospitals to reduce the cost of care, ending compensation based on inpatient admissions and thus removing an incentive to fill more hospital beds.
State leaders who embraced adoption of the Obama administration's 2010 reform law acknowledge the uncertainty. But Gov. Martin O'Malley's top health care deputy said the administration crafted the complex new system over three years hand-in-hand with key players in the state's health care industry.
"I think it's natural that when you have the type of reform we have seen in the Affordable Care Act, and whether it's in health care or any other policy area, there's always going to be some trepidation. It's pretty much around the uncertainty or the unknown of what's to come," Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown said. "I believe in Maryland, given the nature of our process, we have done a good deal to tamp down the anxiety."
That process began when O'Malley's issued an executive order the day President Barack Obama signed the health act into law, launching a program to oversee health reform changes in the state. Since then, the O'Malley administration and state lawmakers have passed laws including one in April 2012 creating the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.
Now the state aims to open the exchange Oct. 1, so those in search of affordable insurance can enroll in plans by the start of 2014. To meet that timeline, "every day counts," said Rebecca Pearce, the exchange's executive director.
Insurers must submit proposed plans and rates Monday to the Maryland Insurance Administration, giving an idea of what choices the exchange might offer consumers. The state's regulatory review of those plans is expected to take months; state insurance officials have broad authority to ask for changes before approving plans for sale.
The exchange hired public relations firm Weber Shandwick to develop an advertising campaign likely to hit television and radio waves, websites and public transit by September. It is hiring six regional contractors to coordinate grass-roots education on coming health reform changes, as well as a vendor to train those responsible for outreach and another vendor to launch a statewide telephone helpline for people with questions about the exchange.
Health officials aim to reach Maryland's estimated 750,000 uninsured residents and explain their new coverage options so they can enroll by the end of the year. Their goal is to enroll 147,000 in insurance in the first year.
Another 108,000 will gain coverage through expanded Medicaid eligibility O'Malley is expected to sign into law this spring.
But some question whether the state's expectations will become reality. The federal health reform law includes a mandate that all be covered by health insurance or pay a penalty, a divisive aspect of the legislation that the Supreme Court upheld last year. That leaves open the possibility that some could choose to remain uninsured, and outside of the exchange's risk pool. Reform rests on the notion that spreading the risk over more individuals will reduce costs for all.
"There will not be a magical flipping of the switch where all of the sudden everyone is going to be covered," said Al Redmer Jr., a former state delegate and state insurance commissioner under Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich. "There's a percentage of folks that will never get enrolled for a variety of reasons."
That could mean a problem for insurers, he said, and for health reform advocates' predictions that competition among carriers in the exchanges will drive down the cost of insurance premiums.
A Society of Actuaries report released Tuesday forecast that medical claims on individual insurance policies could rise by nearly a third across the country under the federal health reform mandates. For Marylanders who buy insurance individually, rather than through their employers, costs could rise by more than two-thirds, the society said. The increase will be driven by more chronically ill people gaining access to coverage as healthy people opt to pay the penalty for lacking insurance, the report said.
"The ability to manage the risk is going to be challenging," said Frank Kelly, CEO of Hunt Valley insurance administrator Kelly & Associates Insurance Group. "I think there's going to be some fairly significant rate increases, but it remains to be seen."
State and federal health officials cast doubt on such forecasts. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called it "speculation," but acknowledged costs could rise for men and young people. For Maryland, the estimates don't take into account that the state won't immediately shift those covered in a high-risk insurance program into the exchange, for example, said Carolyn Quattrocki, executive director of the governor's Office of Health Care Reform.
Getting more Marylanders covered by health insurance also could help hold down or even reduce insurance costs, because the cost of care the state's uninsured receive —mostly in expensive emergency rooms — is spread across all insurance holders in the state, Quattrocki explained.
But she acknowledged that the federal reforms will make it more difficult to keep costs in check.
"There is some pressure for very positive reasons," said Quattrocki, citing a ban on denying coverage for pre-existing conditions and permission for adults 26 and younger to remain on their parents' insurance. "All those consumer protections are great news for Marylanders, but at the same time can create pressure on the rates."
Even if plenty of healthy uninsured Marylanders flock to the exchange, there could be other problems, critics said.
"We're setting up a system where we're going to expand health coverage, but the question is, where will we get the providers?" said Del. Adelaide Eckardt, an Eastern Shore Republican and a registered nurse. "If you overload the existing providers, then you're sacrificing the quality of care."
State health officials acknowledged that they will need to be ready to respond to glitches likely to arise along the way.
"We've done everything we can," Brown said. "We've done a lot to minimize the risk, and we need to maintain flexibility to respond to any unforeseen consequences of the risk that may still exist."
This article has been updated to clarify the findings of the Society of Actuaries report.

Demonic Library? Avatar still spawns plants?
And they're really good on Ick, Western Jungle and Rock Garden (can they spawn in BM silver?). Too good in fact, because right now, if your inventory is allready filled up (not hard to achieve), they don't in fact have a downside - you just have to click on a lot of plants.

Brignac is the Rays Heir Apparent at Shortstop
4 Comments
Want to trade for Bartlett?
I hope and wish someone takes him sooner as opposed to later when his value dips down a bit.
I like his style, but his financial abilities outweigh the Rays pocketbook in 2011.
I would rather play Carl Crawford $10-13 million than Bartlett $5.5 million…..But that is just me.
Rays Renegade
Hmmm quite a problem you have there :( Although that is a problem that one would rather like to have than not. I'm a fan of Jason Bartlett and I wish him the best of luck! He seems like a very professional guy so I'm sure he'll be okay in the future.
I'm glad to see Brignac is doing so well. I remember watching him in Class A ball with the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays in Battle Creek, Mi. There was a lot of buzz about him then, and everyone seemed to think he'd make it to the big leagues. Good luck to him and the Rays the rest of the way.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Brigs has played well enough to make Jason Bartlett sweat about his job. That can be a good thing for his confidence as he is getting a fair chance to fhow what he got, and the Rays seem to be leaning towards him being the starter…maybe before 2011.But the real thing is that Brginac's bat got a touch of greatness this off season, and he is stroking the ball great right now.
That and his expanded range at the middle of the defense will keep him at this level for a long, long time.
