Roadblock to collecting court awarded attorney's fees
Sheila McCorkle is a summer associate at Akin Gump.
Yesterday in Astrue v. Ratliff (No. 08-1322), the Court made it a little more difficult for some attorneys to collect fees in cases brought against the government. In an unanimous decision written by Justice Thomas, the Court held that, under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), an award of attorney's fees is payable to the litigant, rather than the litigant's attorney; thus, the federal government can use that award to satisfy a debt owed by the litigant to the United States. Justice Sotomayor filed her first concurring opinion, which was joined by Justices Stevens and Ginsburg. [Matt Sundquist's preview and recap of oral arguments in the case are available here and here.]
The respondent in the case, Catherine Ratliff, is an attorney who successfully represented Ruby Willow Kills Ree in her suit challenging the denial of her Social Security benefits. The district court granted Ree's motion for an award of $2112.60 in attorney's fees under the EAJA, which provides in 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A) that "a court shall award to a prevailing party . . . fees and other expenses . . . in any civil action brought by or against the United States." However, the government sought to use the award to offset an outstanding debt owed by Ree to the federal government.
Ratliff filed suit against the Social Security Commissioner to recover the fees, arguing that fees awarded under Section 2412(d) belonged to her rather than Ree. The district court rejected that argument but, on appeal, the Eighth Circuit reversed. While acknowledging a conflict with the decisions of other circuits, the court of appeals deemed itself bound by its own precedent and thus held that "attorneys' fees awarded under the EAJA are awarded to the prevailing parties' attorneys, rather than to the parties themselves."
The Court in turn reversed the Eighth Circuit. Emphasizing longstanding precedent holding that the term "prevailing party" in fee statutes is a "term of art" referring to the prevailing litigant, the Court found nothing in EAJA to the contrary. Indeed, the Court reasoned, other provisions in the statute clearly distinguish the party who receives the fee award (the litigant) from the attorney: Section 2412(d)(1)(B), for example, treats attorneys on par with other service providers in a manner that foreclosed the possibility that attorneys have a right to the awarded fee.
Moreover, the statute's use of the verb "award" does not render fees payable to the prevailing party's attorney. In rejecting Ratliff's argument to the contrary, the Court explained that in a litigation context the transitive verb "award" had a well-settled meaning of "giving or assigning" by judicial decree. Thus, its plain meaning in subsection (d)(1)(A) is that the court shall "give or assign" attorney's fees by judicial determination to the prevailing party. The fact that the prevailing party's attorney may have a beneficial interest or contractual right in the fees, the Court added, did not alter the meaning of "prevailing party."
Nor was the Court persuaded by the argument that the EAJA fee provision is at least ambiguous in light of other provisions in the statute, the Social Security Act (SSA), and the government's practice of paying some EAJA fees awards directly to attorneys in other cases. Rather, the Court emphasized, the fact that SSA provisions granting fee awards are directly payable to attorneys merely demonstrates that Congress "knows how" to create a direct fee requirement when it wants.
In her concurrence, Justice Sotomayor agreed with the Court that its holding was supported by its precedents and the EAJA's text. However, she believed that had it considered the question, Congress would "not have wanted EAJA fee awards to be subject to offset." In particular, she expressed concern that the Court's ruling would undermine the purpose of EAJA, whose fee awards were created by Congress to reduce the financial barriers associated with challenging unreasonable government actions. Thus, she warned, by subjecting EAJA awards to administrative offsets for litigants with debts, the Court's ruling will inevitably make it more difficult for persons of limited means to obtain legal representation.


text: Here's a riddle for you to ponder. I hid my Brewer's Stonehenge cache back on June 20th. I hid a camo wrapped pill bottle I got from Abby's Grammy at the BBQ. It turned up missing the week of the 4th while I was away on vacation. No big deal, lots of people watching fireworks there. I can deal with that. I replaced it on July 18th with a regular black film canister. So far so good right? On August 4th I get another DNF, and on the 5th a note from a past finder saying it's gone again. OK so it's not such a great hiding spot and it's been muggled again. So sad. I say fine and decided just to archive it and look for a better hiding place near by. Then I start getting people hitting hit again..... and finding it! Now for the good part. I went to it last night to see what is going on, and what do I find. Not the replacement black film can...no it's the original camo wrapped pill bottle. There is a one month gap in the log inside. An entry on July 3 and the next is August. Aliens? Wise guys? Mean and hateful cachers? The TEAM? I have to laugh. Believe me before you ask, I did dig all around where it used to be. Only one can there now. Now with two caches hidden and two caches muggled, my next one will be tougher for sure.

30 Books with Unusual Bindings
Thirty Books with really cool, unusual bindings!
I love reading. I also love books, and I don't think the two always go together. Some people are in it just for the story, and would read any old copy equally, others are collectors of visuals or value and don't even read the books. I love both, and am fascinated and delighted equally by the insides and outsides of books. This bit's dedicated to the outside, and all the creativity, different materials and thought that goes into them. It's not all cloth, leather and paper – from goatskin to gold and eelskin to ivory, check out some of these bindings – 30 in all.

In seasons past, ELMO is the toy we get all the calls for -someone in desperate need for the latest version of the original Tickle Me Elmo Doll. We have particular fondness for the original – Joanne brought Elmo on the TODAY Show – Bryant Gumbel loved it–and played with it for the entire show.
This season, ELMO is being completely ignored. A smaller, perhaps cuter critter has grabbed the imagination of children and media outlets everywhere -even though ELMO tells jokes this year as well as any Borscht Belt comedian. Oh and yes, he's still throwing kisses…it could break your heart. Watch our video.

I wanted to see if anyone wanted to play on Saturday or Sunday (almost anytime). I typically play in St. Augustine during the week a couple times near my job, but I never get any weekend play. I'm somewhat decent. I'd self rate myself between a 3-3.5 NTRP on most days. I don't give up on any shot.
If you want to play, I typically like to go to Huffman Park off Huffman Blvd (which is off Beach Blvd). It's near FCCJ. I don't mind playing somewhere else too around the Southside/Intracoastal area. Please hit me up if you're interested.

Dr. Sinclair is a wonderful combination of friendly and intelligent. She is a good listener, phenomenal at explaining why she gives you a treatment plan, WANTS you to get better and with all of that, instills in you a confidence that you have a doctor who cares and knows how to properly and effectively treat you. She also does women's annual exams which are never fun, but she is extremely understanding of that and makes the process as comfortable as possible and as quick as possible. She is my favorite doctor and I send all of my family and friends to her.
I feel so lucky to have been referred to Dr. Sinclair. I am a nervous patient who dislikes Dr visits, but Dr. S just makes you feel so comfortable that you don't need to worry about some of those cranky bedside manors you run into. She really listens to you! She really wants you to feel better, it's so refreshing! She'll explain your treatment plan to you in a way that you understand and she can explain the reason behind why you're taking each vitamin or medicine. All the staff I've come across has been nothing but helpful and friendly. Such a great place to go if you need medical care!
Dr. Robin Sinclair is an amazing doctor who not only listens to what her patients have to say, she is truly interested in her patients' well being and good health. Her education, diagnostic ability, and willingness to work with conventional medicine provide her patients with the best possible care.

Google has given us a sneak peek at which gadgets people in the U.S. have been searching for this past year. Instead of the most searched items, however, what we're looking at are the most trending searches.
So what's the difference? Says Google: "The 'trending' queries are the searches that had the highest amount of traffic over a sustained period in 2012 as compared to 2011."
These are the gadgets with the most staying power this year, in other words — at least as far as people wanting to find out more about them.

Bring back River Walk merry glow
After they were raved about in press previews, subsequently lit and panned by the public — after the squirrels chewed through them — the purple and blue-hued LED Christmas lights of 2011 no longer reside on the River Walk.
A year ago, the LEDs, wrapped around tree trunks, drew ample criticism because they were a complete departure from the incandescents that hung so elegantly from the River Walk's tree canopy year after year.
This year, the lights hang once again, and the city, which took over River Walk lights in 2011, deserves credit for trying to right poor taste.
My problem is that they remain LEDs.
The incandescent lights (now embedded firmly in memory) emitted a warmth and glowed in such a way that they blended together to make a kind of festive holiday attire for the trees.
Last year, they were an icy bright blue, as tacky as Christmas sweaters. But at least you could see them, all bunched together on the trunks. The Las Vegas strip became a popular comparison in the public discourse.
This year? They are the visual equivalent of the sad horn that plays when someone loses on the "Price Is Right." Duds. A great big old WOMP womp.
They are too faint.
And the colors are weird. These new strands of LEDs contain bulbs of red (good), green (great), white (so far so good), blue (uh) and yellow (what the?).
Instead of having a reaction, good or bad, I stared at them for entire minutes — not gazing in wonderment and awe, but staring in confusion. I was trying to decipher the colors, and there were also strange light clusters at the tops of seemingly every tree that I don't recall with the incandescents.
Maybe it's because I'm not used to them? That is the natural counterargument.
But here's something that's irrefutable: the new LEDs don't reproduce well on camera. They appear as ambiguous specs of light like the kind some people try to pass off as specter orbs.
In all fairness, Mayor Julián Castro deserves a ton of credit for his Light Up Downtown contest. Castro's pet project seems to have galvanized downtown businesses and property owners to show their holiday spirit.
It has really caught on, and so far my favorite displays are the Palacio del Rio's rooms, lit up in the shape of a Christmas tree, and the Southern Pacific 794 locomotive, covered in 20,000 lights, on display at Sunset Station.
And the city is recycling the purple-blue LEDs and using them to decorate parks and other city-owned property.
These may very well become tradition. But why mess with an old one? Yes, LEDs save energy. But the city's own cost-benefit analysis showed a yearly savings of about $2,000 on the River Walk's electric bill, when this project is approaching $1 million in the first two years.
Some holiday traditions in San Antonio have become mere memory, such as Joske's Fantasyland. Here's one the city has an opportunity to bring back next year.

Takla Makan Desert, Chinese (Pinyin) Taklimakan Shamo or (Wade-Giles romanization) T'a-k'o-la-ma-kan Sha-mo, great desert of Central Asia and one of the largest sandy deserts in the world. The Takla Makan occupies the central part of the Tarim Basin in the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, western China. The desert area extends about 600 miles (960 km) from west to east, and it has a maximum width of some 260 miles (420 km) and a total area of approximately 123,550 square miles (320,000 square km). The desert reaches elevations of 3,900 to 4,900 feet (1,200 to 1,500 metres) above sea level in the west and south and from 2,600 to 3,300 feet (800 to 1,000 metres) in the east and north.
Physical features
The Takla Makan is flanked by high mountain ranges: the Tien Shan to the north, the Kunlun Mountains to the south, and the Pamirs to the west. There is a gradual transition to the Lop Nur basin in the east; in the south and west, between the sandy desert and the mountains, lies a band of sloping desert lowland composed of pebble-detritus deposits.
Several small mountain ranges and chains, composed of sandstones and clays of Cenozoic age (i.e., formed within about the past 65 million years), rise in the western part of the desert. The arc-shaped Mazartag Mountains, located between the Hotan and Yarkand (Ye'erqiang) river valleys, arch toward the southwest. Some 90 miles (145 km) long and 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) wide, and with a maximum height of 5,363 feet (1,635 metres), they rise an average of only 1,000 to 1,150 feet (300 to 350 metres) above the surface of the sandy plain. Nearby is another insular range, surrounded on all sides by massifs of moving sands; Rosstagh Mountain, also known as Tokhtakaz Mountain, reaches an elevation of 5,117 feet (1,560 metres), and the range rises from 600 to 800 feet (180 to 240 metres) above the plain. Both ranges are covered by a shallow mantle of eluvium and rock debris and have sparse, desert-type vegetation. In the north the sands of the Takla Makan form a clear boundary with the vegetated Tarim River valley.
The general slope of the plain is from south to north, and the rivers running off from the Kunlun Mountains flow in that direction. The Hotan and Keriya river valleys have survived up to the present day, but most of the shallower rivers have been lost in the sands, after which their empty valleys were filled by wind-borne sand.
The surface of the Takla Makan is composed of friable alluvial deposits several hundred feet thick. This alluvial stratum has been affected by the wind, and its wind-borne sand cover is as much as 1,000 feet thick. The relief consists of a variety of eolian (wind-formed) topographic features and variously shaped sand dunes. These eolian sand dunes were formed through the weathering of the alluvial and colluvial deposits of the Tarim Basin and of the foothill plains of the Kunluns and eastern Tien Shan. The size of the larger sand-dune chains is considerable: they range from 100 to 500 feet (30 to 150 metres) in height and 800 to 1,650 feet (240 to 500 metres) in width, with a distance between the chains of 0.5 to 3 miles (1 to 5 km). The highest eolian topographic forms are the pyramidal dunes, rising 650 to 1,000 feet (200 to 300 metres). In the eastern and central parts of the desert, networks of hollow dunes and large, complex sand-dune chains predominate. They also are common in the western portion of the desert (east of the Hotan River valley), where transverse and longitudinal (with respect to the wind) topographic forms coexist. On the edge of the desert, semipermanent, clustered sand dunes with tamarisk and nitre bushes—as well as clayey regions with disconnected sand dunes—predominate. Such a diversity in eolian features is a result of the complex wind conditions of the basin.
The Takla Makan's climate is moderately warm and markedly continental, with a maximum annual temperature range of 70 °F (39 °C). Precipitation is extremely low, ranging from 1.5 inches (38 mm) per year in the west to 0.4 inch (10 mm) annually in the east. The air temperature in the summer is high, rising to as much as 100 °F (38 °C) on the eastern edge of the desert. In July the average air temperature is 77 °F (25 °C) in the eastern regions. Winters are cold: in January the average air temperature is 14 to 16 °F (−10 to −9 °C), and the lowest temperature reached in winter generally falls below −4 °F (−20 °C).
Northerly and northwesterly winds prevail in the summer in the western region. These two air currents, on meeting near the desert's centre at the northern extreme of the Keriya River, create a complex circulation system that is clearly reflected in the topography of the sand dunes. In the spring, when the surface sand becomes warm, ascending currents develop, and northeasterly winds become particularly strong. During that period, hurricane-force dust storms, filling the atmosphere with dust to altitudes up to about 13,000 feet (4,000 metres), often occur. Winds from other directions also raise clouds of dust into the air, covering the Takla Makan with a shroud for almost the entire year.
Since the Tarim depression is an internal-drainage basin, the entire runoff from the surrounding mountains collects in the basin itself, feeding the rivers and the groundwater strata. In all probability, the groundwater table under the sands flows from the west to the arid basin of Lop Nur in the east. The importance of precipitation in moistening the sands and feeding the groundwaters is slight, however, because of its small quantity and high rate of evaporation. The rivers draining the Kunlun Mountains penetrate about 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km) into the desert, gradually drying up in the sands. Only the Hotan River crosses the centre of the desert and, in summer, occasionally carries its waters to the Tarim River.
Plant and animal life
Vegetation is extremely sparse in the Takla Makan; almost the entire region is devoid of plant cover. In depressions among the sand dunes, where the groundwater lies no deeper than 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 metres) from the surface, thin thickets of tamarisk, nitre bushes, and reeds may be found. The thick strata of moving sands, however, prevent the wider spread of this vegetation. The vegetation is richer along the edges of the desert—the area where the sand dunes meet the river valleys and deltas and where the groundwaters lie comparatively close to the surface. There, in addition to the plants mentioned above, a number of species characteristic of river valleys are found: Turanga poplar, oleaster, camel thorn, members of the Zygophyllaceae (caltrop) family, and saltworts. Sand dunes in hummocks frequently form around the scrub.
The animal life of the Takla Makan is also extremely sparse. Only in peripheral regions of the desert, in ancient and modern river valleys and deltas where water and vegetation appear, is the fauna more diverse. Herds of gazelles are found in open spaces, and there are wild boars in river-valley thickets. Wolves and foxes are among the carnivores. Until the beginning of the 20th century, tigers could still be found, but they have since been exterminated. Rare animals include the Siberian deer, which inhabits the Tarim River valley, and the wild camel, which at the end of the 19th century roamed over much of the Takla Makan as far as the Hotan River but now appears only occasionally in the eastern desert region.
There are a large number of rabbits, gerbils, field mice, and jerboas in the sand dunes; among insectivores, the long-eared hedgehog and bats are common. Small, tufted larks and the Tarim jay are the most common birds.
People and economy
There is no fixed population in the Takla Makan. Hunters make periodic visits, but the area territory is not used by stock breeders because of the virtual absence of vegetation.
Since 1950 the Chinese government has encouraged the emigration of sedentary agriculturalists into the marginal lands on the edges of the Takla Makan. The yields from these low-capacity lands, however, drop after a few years, and the agriculturalists have had to move on. Because the fertility of the soil is so low to begin with, the fallow fields have tended to become desert rather than to revert to grassland. In addition, the more recent market-oriented rural reforms have encouraged a rapid expansion of herd sizes, which in turn have led to overgrazing and further intensified the desertification process.
In the 1950s oil was discovered near Korla, at the northern edge of the Takla Makan. Even greater deposits were discovered from 1980s along the southern rim and in the central portion. The exploitation of these sites has been undertaken despite the extremely difficult working conditions encountered in the desert. Transportation across the shifting sands has remained hazardous, though roads exist surrounding the edge of the desert, and new ones have been built across the centre of the desert from Korla to Yutian in the south, near the Kunluns.
Tensions between Han (Chinese) authorities and the dozen or so Hui (Muslim) minority peoples native to the Takla Makan have existed for centuries. Chinese migration into the region, coupled with Islamic fundamentalist agitation elsewhere in Asia and minority unrest across the border in the Central Asian republics, has fostered more open hostility by local peoples against the Chinese.
Study and exploration
The fabled Silk Road caravan route connecting China with Central Asia and Europe skirted the northern and western fringes of the Takla Makan. Buddhism reached East Asia in the first centuries ce over this great trans-Asian road, and most of China's foreign trade and other outside contacts came by this way as well. By the 15th and 16th centuries, however, sea routes to East Asia had replaced the old overland routes. For several centuries, the desert and its oasis towns became a mysterious backwater for Europeans. The towering mountain ranges surrounding the Takla Makan on three sides and the daunting Gobi on the remaining side severely restricted access to a region that was already extremely hazardous to traverse.
Thus, successful scientific exploration of the desert itself did not begin until the late 19th century. The first European to make a notable study of the region was the Swedish explorer Sven Anders Hedin, who returned from his first trek (1893–98) with artifacts of a completely forgotten Buddhist civilization that had flourished there for much of the 1st millennium ce. Hedin's discoveries and maps stimulated and aided many others, including the German Albert von Le Coq, the American Langdon Warner, and the greatest of the archaeological explorers of the Takla Makan, Sir Aurel Stein. On his first expedition, which set out in 1900, Stein excavated several towns buried in the sands and retrieved a large amount of monumental Buddhist art. This expedition set off an international race to rob the Takla Makan of its ancient treasures, which ceased only in the mid-1920s when the Chinese forbade further exploration. Most of the subsequent study of the region was undertaken by researchers from China and the Soviet Union (until 1992), although some Europeans and Americans also have visited the area.Mikhail Platonovich Petrov Guy S.

I can finally say I think Spring has sprung. Late but it has arrived and we haven't put a fire on in about 9 days now.
I've been buzzing around like I were looking for a favourite flower, from one thing to another.
I was roasting coffee – then put it aside
then started on the garden –
We have been picking and eating asparagus for two weeks now
I decided that wasn't much fun so I moved onto putting out the fairy gardens
I placed one at the entrance to the tea room
a Fairy Park
by the pond
another in the bird bath
All together I've place 7 fairy gardens about, however don't wish to bore you with my fun, besides I may need something next week to blog about and I can share the rest.
Oh I almost forget to mention I got the front porch finished
Remember the rustic curtains?
well I carried on with the rustic
found a rooster and put him to roost.
found a corner to finally put my shelf in that I built when in grade seven. Can't believe my brother hung onto that and drove it all the way to Prince Edward Island to give it back to me, there it hangs with a few little items.
This is my favourite, people ring the bell on the way out of the shop if they liked what they saw.
and this old coffee can sits on the window. I purchased a few antique rusty old coffee cans but they are a save for later also, lol.
Lets see what else have I been up to…..
Oh ya,
Ana would like to introduce her new baby brodder, she calls him Rory.
I think he is just so cute and he smells so good.
Grandpa is proud of his new grandson also
shortly after Rory was born Grandpa and I went beachcombing, "again"
And if that's not enough,
I've been on a spinach salad kick lately.
Besides coming down with strep throat I've been pretty good
watching my peas and ques and getting busier as the days go on.
How about you? Has your spring sprung? Are you planting any spinach?
take care,

Photos by: Bethany Struble Shoes by: Diesel Jacket by: AG Jeans
Fall is officially here and it is here to stay! Cold nights, breezy mornings, days in Socal are as dreamy as it gets. But with cold weather comes cold responsibilities (spiderman ref {in case you didn't know[lol I tried to make a funny]})! For me, the cold brings usually two types of jackets, varsity, and denim, and somethings a varsity denim jacket. This time around I chose to go with this awesome denim jacket from AG jeans. Sturdy for the cold, and stylish for the Fall. The jacket is "pre-wrinkled" which idk why, I do a great job of wrinkling all my own clothes. Either way, the jacket's pre-wrinkled look gives it a nice edgy feel to it that I felt would go great with these awesome boots from diesel. Open steel, steel toed boots? Yes please. Great way to intimidate your predators. Anyways, thanks for reading and come back soon :]

gardasil / treatment of warts / beneficial?
hiya Bob,
My HIV+ boyfriend is currently suffering from anal warts (perianal and inside the anus). So far the doctors have advised to use zink-supplements and they planned to cauterise the internal and external warts. I'm wondering if gardasil might be able to offer not only prevention, but also some support in treating genital warts. i'm a biochemist myself, and am certainly in favor of tackling this problem as holistically and completely as possible. I know current indications for the vaccine over here (europe) are in the prevention of cervix cancer, but i came across some data that the FDA is testing (has tested?) the vaccine in the context of warts/ men, both treatment and prevention. What are your thoughts on this? Should we "invest" in the treatment (not that expensive over here)?
The HPV vaccine Gardasil has been evaluated in boys/men and found to be effective. (See below.) The question is whether vaccination would help someone already infected with HPV/genital warts. The vaccine was designed to be a preventative rather than therapeutic agent. It offers protection against certain strains of HPV that are known to induce cancers. The answer to your question is no one really knows. The general consensus is that the vaccine would probably not be helpful in this situation. One consideration would be for you to be vaccinated with Gardasil, hopefully to prevent acquiring HPV from your boyfriend.

HPV vaccine for (adult) men? Dec 22, 2009
Dear Dr,
I'm HIV+ undetectable 43 y/o man. I understand having anal sex (sometimes unprotected), especially as the receptive partner, puts me in high risk for HPV. However, on my last HPV swab I tested NEG (!!). Though there are no guidelines for males in my age group - would getting the Gardasil vaccine (off-label) be a wise thing to do since I'm HPV-? Thank you very much!
Response from Dr. Frascino
As you may know, Gardasil was initially approved for use in girls and young women ages 9 through 26 for the prevention of cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) types 16 and 18; precancerous lesions caused by types 6, 11, 16, and 18; and genital warts caused by types 6 and 11.
In October of this year, the FDA approved Gardasil for the prevention of genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11 in boys and young men, ages 9 through 26.
Gay and bisexual men are 17 times more likely to develop HPV-related anal cancer than heterosexual men, according to the CDC. The virus has also been linked to genital warts and to cancers of the mouth, head, neck and penis. Studies are still ongoing to assess Gardasil's efficacy and safety in HIVers and in folks older than 26 years. Would the vaccine protect you? Unfortunately, we do not know! There is no a priori reason why the vaccine would not produce the desired protective anti-HIV antibodies, but we have no scientific proof yet. It is possible to get Gardasil off-label from some HIV specialists. Its fairly pricey and requires three injections over a six-month period.
Stay tuned to The Body. We'll keep you informed as more information becomes available. I'll reprint below some information from the archives.
One final note. What was that comment, "sometimes unprotected," all about??? Barebacking is dangerous whether you are positively charged or not! Not only do you risk transmitting the virus to your partners (an unconscionable thought!), but you also put yourself at risk for other STDs, including superinfection with another strain of HIV, that could seriously compromise your health. If you're not going to cover your rocket, keep it in your pocket!
Happy Holidays.
Dr. Bob
Gardasil Jun 4, 2007
I read your posting for May 11 regarding this.
What are the factors you consider as to whether men (particularly healthy, HIV+ men) should get Gardasil treatment?
I just received my first shot the other day, and intend to finish the last 2 (2 months, then 6 months).
I do not see the downside of being immunized against this.
Can you please clarify, etc.
Thank you.
Response from Dr. Frascino
There are two potential downsides that immediately come to mind:
Cost. These are very expensive vaccines.
Safety and efficacy clinical trials of the vaccine in men have not been completed. A study is underway in gay men to determine if Gardasil will protect them from certain types of cancer.
As you are undoubtedly aware, the vaccine is approved (so far) only for girls 9 to 26 years of age. The CDC recommends routine vaccination for girls 11 to 12 years of age, before they become sexually active. A number of gay men, both HIV positive and negative, are lining up to get vaccinated; however, at this point there are no specific guidelines or recommendations to follow as Gardasil has not yet been approved for use in men. Stay tuned; I'll keep you posted as this story unfolds.

Gardasil (HPV) vaccine for those already with HPV (HPV Vaccine for MEN) (GARDASIL) VACCINE (HPV) Dec 3, 2007
I'm a 43 year old man with HPV already, awaiting biopsy results to see if I have anal cancer as we speak. Is it a waist of time and resources to get the Gardasil (HPV) vaccine at this time, or will it help down the road whether I have anal cancer, have to go through radiation and chemotherapy, or not?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Gardasil is a preventative, not a therapeutic vaccine. Consequently if you already have the HPV strains contained within the vaccine, getting inoculated will not provide any help. I'll reprint some information about Gardasil from the archives below.
Good luck!

VACCINE (HPV) (HPV Vaccine for MEN) (GARDASIL) Oct 26, 2007
I am man, 43 y.o. and HIV+. May I take the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine?
Response from Dr. Frascino
There are no specific contraindications to getting the Gardasil (HPV) vaccine for those who are HIV infected. However, what we don't know for certain just yet is whether or not it is equally effective in HIVers compared to the HIV-negative kids and young adults who received the vaccine in clinical trials and for whom the vaccine is now approved and recommended. Certainly there are a number of HIVers (as well as HIV-negative gay men) who have opted to get vaccinated based on the limited information we have so far. Clinical trials in men, both HIV+ and HIV-, are underway. The vaccine is not cheap, but it appears to be extremely well tolerated and very effective. I'll reprint below for our readers some general information about HPV, including some information about the vaccine.
Good luck!
Dr. Bob
HPV Vaccine for Men (HPV) (GARDASIL FOR MEN) Aug 14, 2007
Are there any recommendations for men (esp poz gay men) to get the HPV vaccine?
Response from Dr. Frascino
There are no formal recommendations yet; however, some guys are already getting vaccinated. (See below.) Clinical trials are underway to evaluate efficacy and safety of using Gardasil in men. I'll reprint some information from the archives below. I would recommend, as a first step, you get an anal pap smear to ascertain if you have active HPV and if so what subtypes. Then talk to your HIV specialist to ascertain if the HPV vaccine is something you should consider, even if the formal recommendations are still pending.
Dr. Bob
Gardasil Follow-Up Jun 22, 2007
Hi Dr. Frascino,
I noticed a post recently about Gardasil, and I had a follow-up question. I realize that there is some debate about whether gay men should get this vaccine, but isn't it true that the vaccine would only help those not already infected with HPV? I have read that some 80% of HIV+ gay men are also infected with HPV. (I have no idea whether this statistic is accurate.) So wouldn't I have to first be tested for the presence of HPV before considering whether to get these injections? It sounds like the vaccine would be a waste of time and money if I already have HPV. Or does this vaccine have therapeutic properties as well in those already infected? Basically I'm just confused about this whole thing and am looking for someone to clear all this up for me.
Many thanks.
P.S. Your line in another post about Dubya not knowing when to pull out made me laugh out loud.
Response from Dr. Frascino
As it turns out, there are many variants of HPV, but only a few are associated with the subsequent development of cancer. The key question is whether vaccinating someone who may have been exposed to HPV, but not to the specific variants the vaccine is intended to prevent, will be effective. Time will tell. Stay tuned. We'll keep you posted as this story evolves.

Doctors Urge HPV Vaccine for Men and Women
July 31, 2006
Eventually, men, women, girls and boys should be universally vaccinated against the STD human papillomavirus (HPV), regardless of their individual risk factors, two doctors argue in a new article. In June, the Food and Drug Administration approved Merck & Co., Inc.'s HPV vaccine Gardasil for girls and women ages 9-26. A month ago, a government advisory panel recommended routine vaccination of girls ages 11-12; and girls and women 13-26 who have not been vaccinated, have had an abnormal Pap smear, genital warts or other specified conditions.
About half of sexually active adults contract HPV at some point. HPV is usually harmless, though it can lead to cell abnormalities in the cervical lining that can progress to cancer. It can also cause genital warts and penile cancer. Gardasil protects against four types of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer and genital warts. "We need to move toward a paradigm where this is a universal vaccine," said co-author Dr. Bradley Monk, a University of California-Irvine associate professor in gynecologic oncology. Because males can transmit HPV to their sexual partners, it is sensible to vaccinate boys, he said.
Some groups oppose the idea of vaccination as a requirement for school admission, saying parents should decide whether children receive an STD vaccine.
Monk dismissed the argument that an STD vaccine could encourage promiscuity. "Just because you wear a seat belt, does that mean you drive recklessly? Or just because you give your son a tetanus shot, does that mean he is going to go out and step on a rusty nail? Of course not," he said. "To have a vaccine that prevents cancer and not use it would be one of the greatest tragedies."
The full commentary, "Will Widespread Human Papillomavirus Prophylactic Vaccination Change Sexual Practices of Adolescent and Young Adult Women in America?" will be published in the Aug. 1 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology (2006;108(2)).
HPV Vaccine: In London, Men Demand -- And Get -- Equal Treatment Since it was approved last year, the buzz has grown louder over the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which can protect women from the four strains of HPV that together cause 70 percent of all cervical cancers. But as the world debates whether HPV vaccination should be mandatory for young women and girls, another question looms: What about men? After all, HPV can cause anal cancer, and may also be a cause of penile cancer. That's why dozens of gay men in London have requested -- and received -- the vaccine, in spite of the fact that the United Kingdom's government hasn't approved it for men to use. The Freedomhealth clinic in London started offering HPV vaccination to gay men in January and now vaccinates about 10 people a week, even though some experts have called for more research before offering the vaccine to men. (Web highlight from The Advocate)
What about vaccinating boys?
We do not yet know if the vaccine is effective in boys or men. It is possible that vaccinating males will have health benefits for them by preventing genital warts and rare cancers, such as penile and anal cancer. It is also possible that vaccinating boys/men will have indirect health benefits for girls/women. Studies are now being done to find out if the vaccine works to prevent HPV infection and disease in males. When more information is available, this vaccine may be licensed and recommended for boys/men as well.
HPV Vaccine Jun 10, 2007
Why are folks at my church so concerned about the HPV vaccine?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Good question!!! Actually, I really don't quite understand exactly what it is that some parents don't understand about Gardasil, the HPV vaccine licensed last year to help prevent most cases of genital warts and cervical cancer!
The facts are quite clear:
HPV (human papillomavirus) disease is the most common sexually transmitted disease.
There is no treatment for HPV infection.
HPV can cause cervical cancer. (Seventy percent of cervical cancers are caused by two variants of HPV. The HPV vaccine protects against these two variants.)
Most people infected with HPV do not know they are infected, yet can transmit the virus to unsuspecting sexual partners.
Twenty percent of American girls 14 to 19 years of age are already infected with HPV.
The vaccine only works if administered before the women become infected by the viral variants covered by the vaccine.
So what about the objections being raised by some parents:
The most egregious is the ridiculous notion that immunizing young girls against HPV will encourage promiscuity. This is another fallacy proposed by the misguided "abstinence-only" folks. It has been scientifically shown that the abstinence-only message is rarely, if ever, effective. Half of American girls become sexually active before graduating from high school. Even if this weren't the case, why would a vaccine make girls sexually indulgent? Even rudimentary sex education knowledge would advise that HPV is only one of many potential STDs, and certainly not protective against unwanted pregnancy!
The backlash against HPV vaccines is yet another harmful side effect of Dubya's "faith-based science" mythology.
Is it 2008 yet?

HPV vaccine and cervical/oral cancer? Jul 5, 2007
Hello Dr. Bob. This is the Mommy that you have always been so kind in easing the worries of, needing your wisdom once again in an extremely uncomfortable situation . I hope that these questions find you in the best of health, and as always, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your reply. I was diagnosed with HPV-16 which seems to be the cause of my cervical cancer. I am trying to find the words to ask you the following questions as they are extremely embarrassing for me, but I am desperate for your help in explaining the answers and you are the only person I trust to ask. OK. When my husband and I have engaged in sexual relations, sometimes when we are in the "spoon" position, his penis slips into my anus while trying to, from the back, put it in my vagina. I wonder if because of this, I now have... How I absolutely hate to say it... warts... I cannot stand it Dr. Bob! It is not enough that I feel so filthy and dirty with HIV, but to now have this... I have tried and actually have cut our sexual intimacy to where it is almost non existant especially now that I have this situation that has put him at even greater risk (the condom has broken sometimes (he says they are too tight despite the fact that he is not really large) as well as having the condom slip off) and yes, I know he has to get tested but the guilt that I feel... There are no words Dr. Bob to express the profound guilt that I feel... The utter disgust... My husband is not bothered by this at all, as he says he knew there would be risks but that he is willing to take that chance. I am the one that is having serious issues. The warts had been removed months ago in what is such a barbaric way, shots in and out of the anus that hurt so bad, and then a burning tool used to burn them off only to have them come back. I hate that when I bathe (which I do at least 3-5 times a day out of how filthy I feel) I feel them and they itch no matter how I scrub. I researched online to see what remedies may be used to get rid of them and although alot of them where outrageous, I am so desperate (not to mention that I do not want to go through that procedure again) that I am tempted to try anything in hopes of feeling a little "normal". Is there anything in the works as far as a vaccine or anything else for people that are in their 40s and already have HPV? Is there anything that you can recommend I take to get rid of them? I know there is a cream that sounds like a blessing, but I have three disabled people in my family and we are on such a tight budget I cannot afford it not to mention that I do not have insurance. Also, to add to my guilt even more, we used to engage in oral sex as well, and now I am even more petrified because I read that HPV-16 can also cause Oropharyngeal Cancer! What are the probabilities that he has contracted any or both (via penis and/or mouth)? Should I examine his neck,throat and penis frequently and if so, what should I look for? Is it a given that he already has contracted either of them? I cannot sleep at all and am looking so physically ill (everyone is commenting on it) and I pray there is a ray of hope to all of this. I have an undetectable viral load (except for a small blip on two occasions which the Dr. says is nothing to worry about) and my T-CELL count is above 600. Do you think that I may be able to enjoy having sexual relations again? How does someone with these situations even consider having sex? This is driving my husband nuts because he desperately misses our intimacy and even when I try to engage in it with him, I find myself cringing and becoming stiff when he touches me in my frontal area because I am afraid his fingers or otherwise will find their way to my anal area and, I do not have to tell you because I am sure you already know, it is an absolute kill joy. Thank you for reading this and for your reply which I anxiously await. You are, as I have mentioned numerous times before, an incredible human being. You are very much loved and appreciated. Wishing you a great evening.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'll post some general information from the archives about HPV below. This will answer some of your questions.
As for your husband's problems with condoms, I suggest he try different varieties until he finds the best fit. It's a bit counterintuitive to complain the condom is "too tight" only to have it "slip off!"
Next, regarding treatment of HPV, I would strongly recommend against the online remedies. Not only don't they work, they are often expensive and may even be harmful. Unfortunately, there is no therapeutic vaccine available yet. As for "getting rid of them," you'll need to work closely with a doctor you trust. There are a variety of treatments available and with persistence you should be able to clear up the active warts. Hopefully, with your improved immune status you'll be able to mount your own immune response against the warts. It is true that being HIV positive can make it easier for genital warts to grow and harder to treat them, but they are indeed treatable.
Should you examine your husband for HPV symptoms? No, you wouldn't know what to look for. His physician can examine him periodically as indicated.
Finally, your guilt and psychological reaction to having contracted several STDs (HIV and HPV) is excessive. These are viruses and all humans are susceptible to them! Bathing three-five times a day because you feel "filthy" is indicative of an abnormal psychological reaction to being infected. Talk to your doctors to see if there are counseling services available that may help you and your husband reestablish intimacy safely and with confidence. Illness should never induce shame!
Good luck. Stop being so hard on yourself!

hiv and hpv May 20, 2007
My path report showed CIN-I and HPV. Does this mean I am positive for HIV?
Response from Dr. Frascino
No, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are two very distinct viruses. Testing positive for one does not automatically mean you are positive for the other. CiN-1 stands for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia stage 1. This condition can be cause by several strains of HPV. It will require follow-up with your gynecologist. If you've placed yourself at risk for HIV (unprotected sex, sharing IV drug paraphernalia, etc.), you'll need a specific HIV test three months or more after your last potential exposure. You can read much more about HPV and HIV in the archives. I'll reprint some information about HPV below.
Good luck.

HPV and HIV May 17, 2006
Hello, My boyfriend has HIV and I do not. We have protected vaginal sex daily and he performs oral sex on me regularly. I also perform oral sex on him, but only for a few minutes, and never to the point of ejaculation. We have also engaged in some light rimming. He has a good Infectious Disease Specialist. I get tested regularly for HIV.
Recently, after seeing a commercial on television that talked about the correlation between HPV and cervical cancer, he mentioned that his last two girlfriends (they were before he knew he had HIV, and they had unprotected sex) had abnormal cells that were scraped off/frozen from their cervices (sp?). Anyway, this kinda freaked me out. I have never noticed any lesions on him. He can't go in for an examination yet, because his health insurance is not in effect yet.
I have not noticed any lesions on myself, but thanks to our public school system sex education, we don't have any information on HPV. Thank God for that commercial.
- Can we still have oral sex? 2) Can he be tested for HPV? 3) If I have it, will I have an outbreak? 4) Does this disease go away or will he/we have it for the rest of his/our lives? 5) If I have the cancerous type, and the abnormal cells are removed, am I contagious to him for reinfection? 6) Is [male condom] protected sex good enough if we don't see any lesions?
Response from Dr. Frascino
The first step is to learn a bit more about HPV. I'll post an item from the archives below that addresses the basic facts about HPV. It addresses most of the specific questions you raise. The next step is to find out if your boyfriend has HPV or not. His HIV specialist will screen him. If you have additional questions after that, write back and I'll try to assist.
Be well. Stay well.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) February 22, 2006
What Is HPV?
How Is HPV Detected?
Can HPV Infection Be Prevented?
How Are HPV Infections Treated?
The Bottom Line
NOTE: In the U.S., counseling and referrals are available on a national human papillomavirus (HPV) hotline. Call toll-free at 877-HPV-5868 (877-478-5868). Hours are from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Monday through Friday.
What Is HPV?
There are over 100 viruses known as human papilloma virus (HPV). They are common. One study found HPV in 77% of HIV-positive women. HPV is transmitted easily during sexual activity. In fact, it is estimated that 75% of all sexually active people between ages 15 and 49 get at least one type of HPV infection.
Some types of HPV cause common warts of the hands or feet. Infections of the hands and feet are usually not transmitted through sexual activity. Several types of HPV cause genital warts on the penis, vagina, and rectum. Those with HIV can get worse sores in the rectum and cervical area. HPV can also cause problems in the mouth or on the tongue or lips. Other types of HPV can cause abnormal cell growth known as dysplasia. Dysplasia can develop into cancers of the penis and anus, and cervical cancer in women.
Dysplasia around the anus is called anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). The epithelium is the layer of cells that cover organs or openings in the body. Neoplasia means the new development of abnormal cells. Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is the new development of abnormal cells in the lining of the anus.
Dysplasia in the cervical region is called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). One study found AIN or CIN in over 10% of HIV-positive men and women. Another study showed that women with HIV infection have a much higher rate of CIN than HIV-negative women.
How Is HPV Detected?
To detect HPV, health care providers look first for dysplasia or genital warts. Dysplasia can be detected by Pap smears. They are usually used to check a woman's cervix. They can also be used to check the anus in men and women. A swab is rubbed on the area being checked to pick up some cells. They are smeared on a glass slide and examined under a microscope.
A new HPV test called a reflex test is being used to follow up on Pap smear results that are not clear. It can indicate who needs more careful examination or treatment. The reflex test identifies which types of HPV are present and can indicate if aggressive treatment is needed.
Some researchers believe that anal and cervical smears should be checked each year for people with elevated risk:
People who have had receptive anal intercourse.
Women who have had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Anyone with under 500 CD4 cells.
However, other researchers think that careful physical examination can detect as many cases of anal cancer as anal Pap testing.
Genital warts can appear anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after you are exposed to HPV. The warts might look like small bumps. Sometimes they are fleshy and look like small cauliflowers. They can get bigger over time. Your health care provider can usually tell if you have genital warts by looking at them. Sometimes a tool called an anoscope is used to look at the anal area. If necessary, a sample of the suspected wart will be cut off and examined under a microscope. This is called a biopsy.
Genital warts are not caused by the same HPV that causes cancer. However, if you have warts, you may have also been exposed to other types of HPV that could cause cancer. Can HPV Infection Be Prevented?
There is no easy way to tell if someone is infected with an HPV. People who don't have any signs or symptoms of HPV infection can transmit the infection.
Condoms do not totally prevent transmission of HPV. HPV can be transmitted from person to person by direct contact with infected areas that aren't covered by a condom. To get the best protection from condoms, use them every time. Put them on before any contact with a possibly infected area.
Men and women with HIV who are sexually active may want to have a regular Pap smear, anal and/or vaginal, to check for abnormal cells or early signs of warts. A positive result can be followed up to see if treatment is needed. Promising preventive vaccines against some HPV types are being developed.
How Are HPV Infections Treated?
There is no direct treatment for HPV infection. Some people "clear" an HPV infection (are "cured"). They can later be infected with HPV again. Dysplasias and warts can be removed. There are several ways to do this:
Burning them with an electric needle (electrocautery) or a laser.
Freezing them with liquid nitrogen.
Cutting them out.
Treating them with chemicals like Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), Podophyllin or Podofilox. NOTE: Podophyllin and Podofilox should not be used by pregnant women.
Other, less common treatments for warts include the drugs 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) and Interferon-alpha. 5-FU is a cream. Interferon must be injected into the warts. A new drug, imiquimod (Aldara®), has been approved for treatment of genital warts. Cidofovir (Vistide®), originally developed to fight cytomegalovirus (CMV), might also help fight HPV. A new drug called HspE7 has shown benefits in early research.
HPV infection can last for a long time, especially in people who are HIV-positive. Dysplasia and warts can return. They should be treated as soon as they are found to reduce the chances of the problem spreading or returning.
The Bottom Line
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) are fairly common. Different types of HPV cause warts or abnormal cell growth (dysplasia) in or near the anus or cervix. This abnormal cell growth can result in cervical or anal cancer. Genital HPV infections are transmitted through sexual activity.
HPV infection can last a long time, especially in people with HIV.
A Pap smear can detect abnormal cell growth in the cervix. It can also be used to check the anus of men and women. Although Pap smears may be the best way to detect early cervical cancer, careful physical examination may be the best way to detect anal cancers.
The signs of HPV infection -- warts or dysplasia -- should be treated as soon as they show up. Otherwise, the problem could spread and be more likely to return after treatment.

Aromatherapy is the use of volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other aromatic compounds from plants to affect someone's mood or health, hence aroma therapy.

A domain name has been registered and the series is supposed to have a big announcement in the next issue of JUMP so an anime adaption seems very likely.
It's not one of my favorite series, but it's a pretty fun light hearted romcom and one of the more enjoyable ones I've read in a while so I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. Not too sure which studio would be doing this though I'm hoping not DEEN or JC Staff

Having read the manga a bit, I could say it's a very amusing romcom title. I can't imagine anyone other than J.C Staff, A-1 or Brains' Base adapting the anime version though, but I could say the drama CD cast looks awesome!

Was genuinely interested at first, but when the entire thing turned into generic harem by 40++ chapters, i got disappointed by it, dropped it, and didn't give it a fuck anymore.
The only good thing about it is that it doesn't rely at fanservice at all like any other romcom series that JUMP published before.
If only the author remain stayed on love triangle romcom and didn't fall into terrible pandering . . . well, cannot blame him though. People need money after all

If there's ever an anime where I wouldn't mind an original ending it's this one, you could totally tell the story in a couple of cours (or hell maybe even one) instead of dragging it out like the manga is doing. Unless it gets a long running daytime slot but I'm not sure it would get one.
As a reminder the vomic cast consisted of:
Haruka Tomatsu as Chitoge
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Raku
Hisako Kanemoto as Onodera
So that's the SAO couple reunited if they keep it And I hope they do,I enjoy Yoshitsugu Matsuoka's leads and Tomatsu always makes a great tsundere.
And I don't care how many haters they get while they wouldn't be my first choice I wouldn't mind JC staff if the staff is competent.

I think I'll give it a go myself. The manga could do better right now, that's for sure. But I still enjoy Nisekoi for what it is and I think I'm okay with that. I can picture this being a 2 cour.

After several years of Pocomail and six months of Barca... with excellent success in Junk Mail filtering ... it all changed about two days ago... for no apparent reason.
I get >100 junk mail a day and one might get through each month.
In the last 48 hours about 20 Junk mail have come through into my IN box.
Anyone else experience this ?
I have checked my settings and all seems well.

Hubble Image of M13's Nucleus
Hubble catches an instantaneous glimpse of many hundreds of thousands of stars moving about in the globular cluster M13, one of the brightest and best-known globular clusters in the northern sky. This glittering metropolis of stars is easily found in the winter sky in the constellation Hercules. This image is a composite of archival Hubble data taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys. Observations from four separate science proposals taken in November 1999, April 2000, August 2005, and April 2006 were used. The image includes broadband filters that isolate light from the blue, visible, and infrared portions of the spectrum.

The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training is coordinating Disaster Unemployment Assistance for those who have become unemployed due to the severe storms and flooding that began March 12, 2010.
Disaster Unemployment Assistance is a federally funded program for those who would otherwise not be eligible for unemployment insurance, including the following:
- Those injured in the disaster and unable to work
- Those whose workplaces were damaged, destroyed or made inaccessible due to the disaster
- Those for whom transportation to work is unavailable
- Those whose transportation route is inaccessible due to the disaster and for whom other means of transportation are unavailable
- Those, such as self-employed workers, who derive most of their income from areas affected by the disaster, and have experienced a decline in business a result of the disaster
Special claims-filing sessions for Disaster Unemployment Assistance will be held at all netWORKri one-stop centers, Tuesdays through Thursdays, April 6-8 and April 13-15 from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays, April 10 and 17 from 8 a.m. to noon. More claims-filing sessions will be scheduled in the future, dependent on community need. Please note that Disaster Unemployment Assistance claims filing must be staff-assisted and cannot be done online or by telephone.
The netWORKri locations are as follows:
- Pawtucket: 175 Main Street
- Providence: One Reservoir Ave.
- West Warwick: 1330 Main St.
- Woonsocket: 219 Pond St.
Those attending the special claims-filing sessions must bring the following information with them to the one-stop centers:
- Social Security number
- Driver's license or a Rhode Island I.D.
- Mailing address and zip code
- Income tax for 2009 with profit and loss statement
- Business license
- Telephone number where the worker can be reached for additional information
- Alien registration card, if applicable
- Names and addresses of any other employers (in addition to self-employment) during the past 18 months
IMPORTANT: Please note that employees of businesses that have laid them off temporarily due to flooding may be eligible for regular unemployment insurance; they do not need to attend the special claims-filing sessions, and may simply file online for unemployment insurance at www.dlt.ri.gov, indicating that their unemployment is due to flooding. If their employer is registered as eligible with the department, then the employees' one-week waiting period for unemployment insurance will be waived.
Rhode Island residents have through May 6, 2010 to apply for Disaster Unemployment Assistance.
More information about unemployment insurance can be found online at www.dlt.ri.gov.
All Rhode Islanders in need of flood disaster assistance in addition to unemployment insurance benefits should register with FEMA at www.fema.gov or 1-800-621-3362 (TTY 1-800-462-7585).

MIDDLEBURY — A state investigation concerning the financing of a full-length film by well-known Addison resident Malcolm "Mac" Parker has been misconstrued, says a spokesman for a group of lenders who support Parker's project.
"First and foremost, we are strongly opposed to what the state is purporting … that he (Parker) is selling securities and that he is not licensed to sell securities. Both complaints are completely groundless," said Vergennes resident Christopher White, a lender and spokesperson for a group of supporters who have established a legal defense fund on Parker's behalf.

The official home of the American Legion World Series will soon expand.
SHELBY � The official home of the American Legion World Series will soon expand.
The ALWS received a $1 million gift Thursday that will help fund upgrades to Veterans Field at Keeter Stadium at Shelby High School, where games in the national Legion baseball tournament are played.
"The community is what this is all about," ALWS executive committee co-chairman Eddie Holbrook said at a press conference at the LeGrand Center on Thursday. "The goal is to raise $1 million and to match the grant."
The gift donor�s identity was not released Thursday but will become public in a month, Holbrook said.
The total cost of the project is $2.5 million, which ALWS leaders hope to reach through the fundraising campaign, Holbrook said.
"I have no doubts that we will be able to reach this goal," Holbrook said. "We accept this gift and firmly believe we can reach this challenge."
Holbrook and committee co-chairman Jim Horn have asked the community for pledges to help meet the fundraising goal.
Planned stadium upgrades include an expansion of the concourse, a permanent souvenir and operations center, a rocking chair pavilion, parking complex and stadium entrance reading "Plaza of Champions."
An architect�s rendering of the long-range plan was negotiated with the National Office of the American Legion in Indianapolis, Ind. The Cleveland County Board of Education also approved the plan.
Legion officials announced in October that Shelby will serve as the official home of the ALWS through at least 2019.

DipStick Haha so you rap? Great... Give us another...
nougatmagnet Haha not now..
DipStick Hilarious dude!
allurbase I honestly don't rap all that much, I was just having fun.
wired if possible, wireless if i need to
DiamondBlitz i sometimes feel the same dude, well I guess it all depends
So I suppose everyone is about even on this... half wired half wireless. I wish they would put polls on this site... But I suppose that's if the forum software allows it.
DipStick oh I see.
DipStick Well don't expect it to all be roses... I mean I use data too, but not that much... I just need to connect to something faster ya know?
DiamondBlitz Yeah, I know, it helps tremendously. I believe something faster is nice.
DipStick you're right... But I suppose Android won't get any faster.
DiamondBlitz Why not? Is it that apps do not truly speed up?
DipStick I don't think it makes much of a difference having a faster phone unless you need it for higher ranked apps. Most apps run on low resources without too much baloney involved
