Bush taps ex-CIA man to head DoD
'Heckuva job, Rummy'
Analysis "It was a thumpin'," President George W Bush said of the mid-term elections, as he made Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld his first burnt offering to a Democratic Congress.
Rumsfeld had served as a lightning rod for criticism of the war in Iraq, and Bush no doubt believes that chucking him will be seen on the Hill as a positive development. Of course, it might backfire spectacularly as Bush is necessarily presenting himself as the next major target of anti-war abuse, simply because Rumsfeld's replacement will be able to fall back on having been out of the loop throughout much of the war's planning and execution. ("That was before my time, Senator...")
Bush will have a rough time without Rumsfeld to take the flak. Rumsfeld is notoriously thick-skinned and adept at deflecting criticism, whereas the President is abnormally thin-skinned and prone to flushing, hyperventilating, and issuing out-of-context retorts when put on the spot. Rumsfeld, in contrast, rarely lost his cool and always had a snappy answer.
In fairness to the President, many of the practical difficulties in Iraq are indeed a result of Rumsfeld's strenuous faith in transforming the US military into a lean, quick, mobile, high-tech strike force, for which the Iraq war has proved to be a spectacular, real-time counterargument. The gadget-intensive "smart" engagements that Rumsfeld believed would "shock and awe" the USA to a quick, painless victory have long been discredited, yet he has persisted in dismissing the need for lots of boots and big machines on the ground, against overwhelming empirical evidence.
Perhaps it's not too late for a more pragmatic approach to bear fruit in Iraq, although many believe that the Rumsfeld Doctrine has already done more damage to the war effort than it is possible ever to fix.
In any case, Bush has nominated former Central Intelligence director Robert Gates: a pragmatist, a longtime Bush family ally, and a 20-year veteran of the CIA. Gates served the former President Bush as Deputy National Security Adviser and CIA Director, and has worked closely with Bushie insiders James Baker, Brent Scowcroft, Condoleezza Rice, and current CIA chief General Michael Hayden.
If there are objections to this arrangement, they are, first, that Bush's tendency to surround himself with an interdependent clique of familiar loyalists insulates him from fresh ideas and needed criticisms; and second, that there is a suspicious symmetry in tapping a former CIA man to head Defence while there already is an active-duty Defence guy (Hayden) currently in charge of CIA.
Some people - especially Democratic Senators asked to confirm Gates - might reasonably be uncomfortable with the borders between military and civilian intelligence turf growing more obscure than they have already in the so-called "war on terror". And this is no trivial concern: the walls between civilian and military intelligence and security initiatives have all but disappeared in the past five years.
Thus, Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Warner (Republican, Virginia) has said that Gates's confirmation should be taken up during the lame duck session starting next week, while Republicans are still in control of the Senate, and can deliver to Bush what he has asked for, as they almost always do. The President has indicated that he will submit Gates's name for confirmation during that time (along with that of John Bolton, interim US Ambassador to the United Nations).
The Senate, like the House, will have a Democratic majority in January, which in turn means that if the President should wait, he might have to nominate Rumsfeld's successor from outside the Bushie clique. There's nothing tremendously controversial about Gates - he has, in fact, criticised the war effort publicly - but Democrats might still prefer to see someone at Defence who thinks a bit more along their lines. Gates is a more pragmatic, more "adult", Bush insider than the raving right-wing ideologues who forced the war down America's throat and then botched it, but this improvement might not be good enough for the 110th Congress.
For the President, it is personally important to fill top Cabinet posts with friends, admirers, and old family retainers. He finds it difficult to work with people who might act independently. He's also eager to attach himself to a Dutch uncle, and he has picked two spectacularly bad ones with their own agendas, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Thus Gates is an ideal choice from Bush's perspective: the Dutch uncle he should have had from the start. Gates will offer guidance rooted in what is actually possible, and divorced from the grand fantasies of re-making the Middle East that initiated the war in the first place.
Republicans have complained that Bush could have helped preserve their majority in government if he'd disposed of Rumsfeld before the election. It would have demonstrated a refreshing willingness to adapt, and removed much of the public's motivation to vote Democrats into power.
But Bush feared giving the final proof of Republican failure, which he likely saw as further motivation to vote against the GOP. He also has a psychological need to pretend to be infallible. Thus, it was characteristic of him to praise Rumsfeld and vow to keep him at his post, as he did publicly in the week before the election.
But then the public enacted the electoral equivalent of an intervention, and Bush had no choice but to accept it. The President will have new minders from the more mature ranks of his father's long-time associates. Gates, if he is confirmed, will purge the Rumsfeld neocon loonies from the Pentagon's senior posts, and seek a way forward in Iraq that won't end in defeat, knowing that it cannot end in victory.
It's a pity that Bush had literally to be forced to do a sensible thing, but at least some progress is finally being made. ®

text: The roots of heavy metal band the Union Underground lie in the relationship between singer/guitarist Bryan Scott and guitarist Patrick Kennison, who met in junior high school in San Antonio, TX. After finishing high school, the two launched their own recording studio, Studio Underground, making cassettes of their music. Sales of 5,000 copies of an EP brought interest from major labels, with Portrait, the hard rock imprint of Sony's Columbia label, winning out as Scott and Kennison completed the band's lineup with the addition of drummer Josh Memelo and bassist John Moyer. The Union Underground released its debut album, Education in Rebellion, in July 2000. The disc spent four months on the charts and the track "Turn Me on 'Mr. Deadman'" was on the mainstream rock charts for six months. (After two years, the album's sales reportedly stood at 350,000.) The band opened for Marilyn Manson in the fall of 2000 and earned a slot on the 2001 Ozzfest tour. The Union Underground's next recording was the track "Across the Nation," heard on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) various-artists album Forced Entry, released on SmackDown!/Columbia in March 2002. The song earned the band another extended stay on the mainstream rock charts. In June 2002, Portrait released Live...One Nation Underground, a six-track EP containing songs recorded live in concert in 2000 and 2001, as the band worked on its second album. ~ William Ruhlmann

Stage version of story sticks closely to the beloved movie
Thanks to "Wicked" — the celebrated musical prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," now marking its 10th anniversary on Broadway — author L. Frank Baum's witches (wicked and otherwise) are getting plenty of stage work these days.
And yet the original "Wizard" saga, while still one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, has kept a relatively low profile when it comes to live theater.
"There are a lot of people who've never seen 'The Wizard of Oz' onstage," says Steven Glaudini, who's in his inaugural season as artistic director of Moonlight Stage Productions in Vista. "I've heard from a lot of people who've never (seen it done)."
That's certainly not for lack of effort on Glaudini's part: He has produced the musical twice before at other Southern California theaters. Now he brings it to Moonlight, in a production directed and choreographed by Roger Castellano, with musical direction by
It'll be a sprawling staging, with some 40 cast members and a 20-piece orchestra. (While the ensemble includes about 20 kids, all the lead roles are being played by adults.)
And the musical's story of finding (and saying farewell to) home and friends has extra poignancy for Glaudini this time around. Two Moonlight favorites, actors Nils Anderson and John Bisom, have passed away since they appeared in those previous "Wizard" productions for Glaudini. (Anderson — father of Glaudini's best friend
The pain of those losses is one reason Glaudini wanted to start anew with "Wizard"; the Moonlight production will go with a version developed by England's Royal
Its cast includes San Diego-area favorites Randall Dodge (who starred in Moonlight's excellent, just-closed "South Pacific") as the Cowardly Lion and Jim Chovick as the Wizard, plus the Broadway-tour veteran Stephen Petrovich as Scarecrow, and Carlin Castellano (seen last year at Moonlight in "Fiddler on the Roof") as Dorothy.
Glaudini also promises there'll be plenty of pyrotechnics and, of course, flying. (Witches and monkeys and munchkins? Oh my.)
"The Wizard of Oz"
When: Opens July 24. Performances: 8 p.m. Wednesdays-Sundays (gates open at 6:30 p.m.). Through Aug. 10.

"The Thomas Crown Affair" is quickly turning into "The Vanishing." Ten days after two businessmen reported 14 paintings by the likes of Van Gogh, Jackson Pollack, Rembrandt and Renoir stolen from their Pebble Beach house, authorities said there is no evidence that the art collection ever existed, and the victims are now suspects.
Monterey County Sheriff's Commander Mike Richards said Tuesday that the owners of the art collection did not provide any documentations showing that the paintings existed, or information on how they were acquired. There was no evidence of a break-in at the Pebble Beach house.
Police are now focusing their investigation on the owners, Angelo Amadio and Ralph Kennaugh, business partners who recently moved to Pebble Beach from Massachussettes.
"They are suspects," Richards said. "We feel manipulated. The bottom line is, this is a simple investigation. It can be made a lot easier with the cooperation of the victims. We've been blocked the entire way on this thing.
"We're still investigating this on its face value as it was represented initially, but while doing so, we're shifting the focus of the investigation to the alleged victims, because of inconsistent statements and other details to address the veracity of what they're saying."
The sheriff's have also asked Amadio and Kennaugh to take lie detectors tests, which they have declined.Watch Raw News Conference Video Here
Earlier in the day, a lawyer representing Amadio and Kennaugh issued a press release identifying a local insurance broker who saw the collection. The broker told NBC Bay Area he had in fact seen "many of the pieces."
Richards dismissed his impact on the case. "We don't care if he's seen them," Richards said. "We want documentation. The gardner could tell us he's seen these pictures."
The couple reported the theft on Sept. 25 and initially said the paintings were valued at $27 million dollars. They later revised the collection's estimated value to $80 million -- which would make this one of the biggest thefts in fine art history.
But Amadio and Kennaugh insist the collection was not insured -- which would seem to eliminate their motie. Richards said police have several theories on motive.
"The most common motive is money," he said.
Amadio and Kennaugh denied that the theft is a hoax, and have accused the sheriff's department of botching the investigation.

Building more links between Minnesota and China
The links between Minnesotan and Chinese private colleges grew this week at the Joint Faculty Professional Development Institute, which met at Augsburg College from June 19-23. The institute is a product of two years of planning between the China Consortium members of the Minnesota Private College Council (MPCC), United International College (UIC) in Zhuhai, China, and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in Hong Kong.
The five-day institute involved eight faculty from UIC in China and eight faculty from seven Minnesota private colleges, including Augsburg. The Institute is under the direction of Diane Pike, Professor of Sociology at Augsburg, assisted by Theresa Kwong, Senior Teaching and Learning Officer at The Centre for Holistic Teaching and Learning at HKBU.
"We have learned about the rewards and challenges of teaching that we have in common," Pike said. "It has also been wonderful to learn about the cultural differences and to benefit from thinking about things in new ways. The colleagues from UIC and from the set of Minnesota private colleges have collaborated to advance their understanding of teaching and learning in a liberal-arts setting. It has been an invigorating week and we look forward our visit to China in November to continue our learning."
The Institute focuses on professional teaching practices and student learning in both China and the United States. The meeting at Augsburg will be followed by a conference in Zhuhai, China on November 14-17, 2011.

Hey, everyone we need your help.
We want to create several social networking buttons to be used on your websites. Many of you have used the Atheist Nexus badges, but we want to create ones like we see all the time. Like these:
The Foundation Beyond Belief had one created for their website.
Atheist Revolution uses our sites favicon.
One graphic artist created the ones below. I like them, but they may be too dark.
Here's what we need:
1. Graphic artists: reply to this discuss with a sample of your own.
2. Everyone else: Do you like the simple "X" (like is used with Facebook and Twitter)? Or, should we keep the word "US" with it as well?
Soon we will have a page with dozens of samples free for the taking. If yours is used, full credit will be given.
Thanks in advance,
Views: 2934
I tried the cutout idea quickly, but I haven't had much time to try variations in the color. Again, these are PNGs and useable:
It seems like the orange icon holds up fairly well on dark backgrounds. I had to thicken the "X" even more to allow for the drop-shadow cutout effect.
I'll try some more variations soon. Do you have any colors in mind? Different than orange or just darker/more muted shades of orange?
Hmmm. I kinda like it. What do you think?
Perhaps the dark orange or the blue in our top banner.
I look forward to seeing more.
I prefer the orange and blue variation (last aone) because it looks less like an X.
The last one, assuming no transparency in the white area (can't trust css for everything) would really be most "memorable" as it has good contrast and is well shaded.
I don't do the new version of social networking so much. Little need to my mind, as I get great networking opportunities through stand-alone non-commercial servers, and the internet search engines provide the networking part...limiting the advertizing and big brother marketing service opportunities that companies like facebook provide. That said, if you want to have a nice big scalable icon that really means what atheism is all about, well I feel a nice transparent square (or let it be white if you must) is the way to go. As an atheist, I am not a not something, and I am not an opposite of something, I am simply something that doesn't go out of it's way to protect what it thought it was five minutes before.
I'm not a graphic artist, but I do have a different idea! Why not use the null sign (zero with a bar across it) followed by a T, for non-theist. I rather dislike the A you use for Athiest, mostly because I originate from Alabama and it looks too much like a Roll Tide "A" (college football and believe it or not, the same script "A")---it's a mirror image I just can't seem to shake, though I know I am a minority here. I see the "A", I see "Alabama Football"---not what is intended. Sigh....
Another suggestion, though am sure someone owns this is Darwin's fish---not the christian fish, but the fish with feet to show where we come from---Evolution.
Whatcha think?
I like the "X" on the glossy white background, but I'd prefer to see the "X" in blue.
The 'US' from Nexus doesn't make me think 'Atheist Nexus,' it makes me think 'US' like community, which is great, but also U.S.- though A|N is international. Though I like the US in Atheist Nexus, as it could lead to catchy phrases, A|N may be better branding & the phrases can exist w/o that. Your thoughts?
Also, let me add- for design purposes, something simple & scalable will be best. The plain Nexus 'X' is strongest alone, but in bold colours.
This looks like spam or marketing coming from atheist nexus. I don't like clicking on links that I am unsure of and will not click on these links. I did a search for this person's name in the atheist nexus and it didn't have a match and looked at the Canadian Atheists group and did not see anything related to this.
Am I going to get atheist nexus emails selling me stuff - or is this not legitimate?

Japanese researchers at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International seem to think that making a humanoid-looking phone and covering it in a material that feels like skin will make us feel closer to whoever we're talking to. Judging from that photo, I'd be seriously weirded out.
The phone, which is made to look like a genderless, ageless person, resembles the creepy sperm baby robot thing we wrote about back in August (got the chills just thinking about it). A loudspeaker is located in its head, and it glows red or blue in the chest depending on whether it's in use or on standby. And if you think I'm going to talk to something that looks like a premature fetus, you're crazy. [AFP/PhysOrg]

LONDON (CNN) -- Julian Assange is subject to arrest for breaking the terms of his bail, London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday, after the WikiLeaks founder attempted to claim asylum at the embassy of Ecuador in Britain.
Assange was arrested in Britain in 2010 because Swedish authorities want to question him about allegations of rape and sexual molestation. His bail conditions included staying every night at the home of a supporter outside of London.
"He is now subject to arrest under the Bail Act for breach of these conditions," police said Wednesday morning. But it is not clear that they will be able to arrest him, since diplomatic protocol prevents authorities from entering foreign embassies.
Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office said Wednesday that its officials "have met with the Ecuadorian authorities to discuss this situation," but released no details.
Assange sought refuge in the Ecuadorian mission on Tuesday, five days after the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom last week dismissed a bid to reopen his appeal of extradition proceedings -- his last option in British courts. Assange supporter Gavin McFayden, who visited the WikiLeaks founder Wednesday, said he "seems in very good spirits."
"He seemed very grateful for the hospitality of the embassy," said McFayden, director of the Center for Investigative Journalism at London's City University. He said Assange is staying in a small room with a television, which McFayden called "not a luxurious accommodation" but added, "We've all had worse than that."
"They're talking with the lawyers now about what they want to do," he said.
Two women have accused Assange of sexually assaulting them during an August 2010 visit to Sweden in connection with a WikiLeaks release of internal U.S. military documents. He was arrested in Britain that December and has been fighting extradition ever since, arguing the allegations are retribution for his organization's disclosure of American secrets.
Claes Borgström, the Swedish lawyer who represents the women, said the past year and a half "has been very frustrating and a difficult time" for them.
"The frustration for the clients is that they have been waiting for so long already, almost two years now," Borgström told CNN. "And after the decision from the Supreme Court, they were convinced that Assange would be coming to Sweden." Now that he has sought asylum in Ecuador, "You don't know how long it will take."
Assange's only further legal recourse would be to apply immediately to the European Court of Human Rights, and his attorneys have vowed to do so. He has said he fears that if he is extradited to Sweden, authorities there could hand him over to the United States, where he then could be prosecuted for his role in the leaking of classified documents.
Assange has not been charged with a crime, but Swedish prosecutors want to question him about allegations of "unlawful coercion and sexual misconduct including rape," according to a Supreme Court document. Ecuador said its decision to consider Assange's asylum request "should in no way be interpreted as the government of Ecuador interfering in the judicial processes of either the United Kingdom or Sweden."
WikiLeaks, which facilitates the anonymous leaking of secret information, has published some 250,000 confidential U.S. diplomatic cables, causing embarrassment to the government and others. It also has published hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents relating to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Recently, the organization has come under financial pressure, leading Assange to announce that WikiLeaks was temporarily stopping publication to focus on raising money. An announcement at the top of WikiLeaks' home page reads: "We are forced to put all our efforts into raising funds to ensure our economic survival."
During his wait for the Supreme Court to rule on his extradition, Assange has hosted a talk show on Russian TV. "The World Tomorrow" appears on the Kremlin-funded, pro-Russian network Russia Today. He hosted it from the Suffolk, England, mansion where he is under house arrest with an electronic bracelet monitoring his movements.
He has interviewed controversial figures at odds with the U.S. government, including Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, which the United States considers a terrorist organization, and Ecuador's president, Rafael Correa, who railed against the United States in his interview with Assange.
In 2010, a statement from Ecuador's foreign ministry appeared to offer the controversial Assange an invitation to discuss a trove of leaked documents. The ministry also offered to process a request for residency, if Assange chose. But a later statement from the Ecuadorian Embassy in the United States said that was not the case.
"While there was some confusion in the media flowing out of Quito yesterday, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has clarified that his country has not invited WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange to Ecuador," the statement read.
In Ecuador, Correa said at the time that his country had not made a formal invitation to Assange and that the ministry declaration, made by Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas, was "spontaneous" and personal in nature.

Vermont Clothing Company
JC Image and Vermont Clothing Company have been printing and embroidering apparel for the resort tourist market for over 19 years. Our primary market is Vermont, however we sell to upstate NY, NH ME and rural Mass. We are also one of the greenest manufacturing companies in the textile decorating apparel. 100% of our factory's electricity comes from Cow Power, a methane digester fueled by Vermont cow manure.
Typical tourist that visit the area want to bring back home an item of Vermont (or similar). Vermont's known for it's natural beauty: Green Mountains, Holstein Cows, Evergreen Tree's, Sugar Maple Tree and Moose. The typical buyer is female 35+, HOWEVER they are buying for children, grandchildren, siblings, parents, friends and everyone in between.
I will require either a screen printed or embroidered vectorized art. Prefer .ai or .eps. Screenprint should be 1-4 spot colors. Embroidery should be no more than 6 colors. Each design should have the words VERMONT and most likely the second tag line Green Mountains. Design should incorporate one of the above icons, however, occasionally the properly crafted text can work. #1 factor of designs: Color! Complimenting tones from the garment color are of paramount importance. Not interested in white tee shirts. Generally earth tones are best. Rainbow tye dye can work too. I will try to upload some past examples of my better work. Good luck and thanks in advance. Any questions-directions, email me. firstname.lastname@example.com. Any superstars could receive contract for entire line.

Mission and Covenant
As members of Alta Vista Church we do covenant with God and with one another, that by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us, we will fulfill the following mission.
We will, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and demonstrate its life changing power, through acts of service and love, to one another, to our community and to the world. (Mt. 24:14; Jn.17: 18; Lk. 4:18,19; Mt. 28:18-20; Jn.13: 34, 35; Jn.15: 12, 13; 1Thes.3: 12, 13; 1Thes.4: 9-12; 1Jn.3: 17-18, 23, 24; 1Jn.4: 7-21)
We will, fulfill the great commission, by making disciples, teaching the word, baptizing believers and bearing witness for Christ according to the pattern of Acts 1:8. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1: 8)
We will, commit ourselves to the life long process of personal discipleship, in the obedient pursuit of Christ like character. (2 Tim. 2: 15; 2 Peter 1: 5-10; Prov.4: 20-27; Phil.3: 13, 14)
We will, become ministers of reconciliation, every member a minister, every disciple a disciple maker. (2 Cor. 5:17-21; 1Cor. 12; Eph. 4: 7-16; Mt. 28: 18-20; Rom. 12: 1-9; Mk.10: 43, 44)
We will, as the salt of this earth, seek to preserve righteousness and resist all spiritual and moral decay in ourselves, in our church, and in the world around us. (Mt.5: 13; Mk.9: 50; Lk.14: 34; Eph.5:11)
We will, as the light of this world, let our light so shine before men that they will see our good works, glorify our Father in heaven and see clearly the way to faith in Christ Jesus. (Matt. 5: 14-16; Eph.5: 8-13; John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35,36 ; 1Jn.1:6,7; 2:8-11 )
We will, invest our time, our treasure and our talents for God's profit and glory. (Matt. 24: 42-47; Matt. 25:14-30; 31-46; Lk.12: 35-44)
We will, be faithful till He comes. (Rev.3: 11; Rev. 22: 12)

Crave Astoria
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Astoria
- Greek, American (New)
Obsession-worthy Greek specialties, kicking it old school in Astoria.Are you missing New York's rugged charm? The kind that seems lost amidst gentrification? Louie Sparagis so craved the authenticity of his Astoria stomping grounds that he named his restaurant after that deep-seated desire. Crave is a hard-hitting eatery that brings real Greek food back to the neigh-ba-hood. Louie's specialties don't mince wordsthe Greek Bowl, for one, overflows with a tender gyro meat of your choice, topped with feta, tomatoes, and a housemade lemon vinaigrette served on a bed of pita. And who says that Greeks aren't down with fish and chips? I devoured my platter of fresh cod and hand cut fries (and got a little tipsy off the stiff beer batter) within minutes. The food isn't the only thing at Crave that packs a punch: Louie brandishes a baseball bat on the weekends as a deterrent against riff raff during Crave's late night hours. Not to worry, though. The customer service and atmosphere is as genial as the food. They're old school like that.
Menu Highlights:
Greek Bowl, $9.45
Fish N' Chips, $8.95
Angry Cowboy burger, $8.95

|Hepatitis C HIV Infections Mental Disorders
Primary Objectives: To determine the prevalence of HIV and other related infections such as Hepatitis C, along with associated risk behaviors, in patients with severe mental illness (SMI).
Secondary Objectives: To identify the implications for mental health and medical services and to obtain a better understanding of the contextual factors that affect the health problems associated with HIV risk behavior.
Primary Outcomes: The primary outcome variables are HIV seroprevalence, prevalence of HIV risk behaviors including injection drug use and sexual promiscuity, personal and social-contextual factors, comorbid mental disorders, and health service use among SMI persons in each group, veterans versus non-veterans.
Intervention: N/A
Study Abstract: It is suspected, but not well documented, that persons with severe mental illness represent a significant transmission source of serious infectious diseases. SMI diagnoses are defined as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Severely mentally ill persons are at high risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). To assess the risk of HIV and related infections among these individuals, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Office on AIDS funded the HIV/SMI five site collaborative study "Assessing HIV/AIDS and Associated Health Risks in People with Severe Mental Illness". This Durham ERIC study supplements the NIMH HIV/SMI study with a four-year longitudinal cohort study of 300-plus SMI veterans in order to estimate the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors and HIV infection, as well as to measure utilization of health services over time. The Durham VA is the only VA site represented in the study and is collaborating with four non-VA sites including Dartmouth, University of New Hampshire, University of Connecticut and Duke University. As such, we have the additional goals of investigating health and health-care-service issues relevant to veterans with SMI and of establishing a database for the longitudinal study of veterans with SMI.
Study participation consisted of a one-hour structured HIV-risk behavior interview and a blood and urine sample. These samples are being tested for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, cytomegalovirus, gonorrhea, and chlamydia at the Durham VA Microbiology Laboratory. Subject enrollment for this study concluded 6/30/2000 with 399 total subjects enrolled. Of these 399 enrolled, 111 subjects were re-tested and re-interviewed. The percentage of subjects enrolled at the Durham VAMC with infectious diseases is as follows: 2.6% with HIV infection; 21% with Hepatitis B core antibodies; and, 18% with Hepatitis C antibodies. Clinical management of subjects with positive serology continues to be administered according to the procedures developed by Richard Frothingham, M.D.
Final Results: The initial manuscript for the study was published in American Journal of Public Health in January, 2001 and analyses for additional publications are underway. Final Report to be submitted to Durham ERIC within 90 days of study end date (3/31/02).

While QNX is currently used in the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and is scheduled to be used in the company's smartphones in the future, replacing the BlackBerry OS to become Research in Motion's (RIM) mainstream platform, the company's current dismal performance is casting a cloud over the fate of the OS.
RIM recently announced it shipped only 10.6 million BlackBerry smartphones in the second quarter, compared with expected shipments of 11.9 million, while tablet shipments were barely half the expected amount. The company shipped only 200,000 Playbook tablets, compared to expectations of 400,000-600,000, and the total represented a drop from 500,000 in the company's first quarter (from March to May).
RIM's stumbles in the market are compounded by its high expectations. About 1.5 million BlackBerry Playbooks were manufactured through September, which means RIM still has nearly 800,000 units of inventory on hand, stated Digitimes Research analyst James Wang. There have already been reports of layoffs at both the vendor (2,000 jobs) and its ODM partner Quanta Computer (2,000 jobs), and it is unlikely that manufacturing of the product will continue through the fourth quarter, said Wang, while adding there has been no word about any next-generation successor of the product.
QNX is supposed to replace the BlackBerry OS and become RIM's mainstream platform in the future, but so far the market has not been welcoming. Moreover, a quick look at the market landscape shows that it is becoming increasingly hard for niche operating systems to succeed under the fierce competition brought on by Android and iOS.
Wang is the author of the Digitimes Research Special Report, "Expectations for the 2H 2011 tablet market."

Campus Security Initiative
Throughout higher education, concerns about sexual assault and other violent crimes, campus security, and crime reporting have become topics of a national conversation. Our own campus leaders, students, and staff are taking part in that conversation, and they are working to raise awareness of and help address the threat posed to the educational community by sexual assault and other violent crimes.
University President Tom Ross launched the UNC Campus Security Initiative in August 2013 to study system-level coordination of security and student safety efforts at our 17 campuses. President Ross asked for a review of current security practices, an assessment of pending needs, and recommendations for coordinated action. Campus police chiefs, attorneys, student affairs professionals, counselors, medical and mental health professionals, faculty, provosts, Title IX coordinators, students, and others devoted considerable time and expertise to this important work.
The University has maintained an ongoing focus on protection and prevention that is reflected in the work of two previous system-wide safety initiatives: the 2004 Task Force on UNC Campus Safety and the 2007 UNC Campus Safety Task Force. The 2014 Campus Security Initiative released its final report in July 2014.
The report includes 26 findings and 36 recommendations that will help make our campuses safer, ensure the University is meeting both the letter and the spirit of laws governing campus security, and offer a blueprint for continuous improvement.

The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management (Public Safety) employs sworn law enforcement personnel deputized as peace officers by the Tompkins County sheriff under New York State Criminal Procedure Law. They are certified law enforcement officers by New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, having received their training in the same manner as all other public law enforcement officers in the State of New York. These officers have full peace officer powers on the grounds or premises owned or administered by Ithaca College. They are authorized to investigate violations or suspected violations of law, carry firearms, make arrests, conduct searches, and carry out any other authorized activities of a peace officer in the State of New York. These officers are responsible for patrolling the campus 24 hours a day, year round, in patrol vehicles, on bicycles, and on foot.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Tompkins County Sheriff 's Office, Ithaca College Public Safety peace officers investigate all violations of law that occur on the campus and take action according to current Public Safety department policies and procedures. In addition, the Sheriff 's Office will be notified and may elect to investigate or assist in the investigation of the following incidents as they occur on the campus: felony sexual assaults, felony assaults, all deaths (accidental, suicides, homicides), and other fatalities.
Uniformed non-sworn security officers licensed by New York State also patrol the campus 24 hours a day, year round. Security officers maintain radio contact with Public Safety communications center and are responsible for reporting violations of law and campus rules and regulations, as well as emergencies. Security officers patrol the residence halls and academic buildings to ensure building security and check fire safety systems. Although they are not police or peace officers and do not have police powers, they work closely with patrol officers in maintaining the safety and security of the College community. In addition to the peace officers and security officers, the security and safety program includes the Student Auxiliary Safety Patrol (SASP).
Public Safety communications center is staffed with professionally trained dispatchers and security officers who answer emergency and non-emergency calls for service, dispatch officers and other emergency services to incidents, monitor intrusion detection and fire alarms, and handle walk-in traffic.
Public Safety maintains a close working relationship with the Tompkins County Sheriff 's Department, Ithaca Police Department, New York State Police, federal law enforcement agencies, and other criminal justice agencies. Regular meetings with these agencies are held on both a formal and an informal basis, and crime- related reports and statistics are routinely shared. In addition to sharing critical information, Public Safety communications center has immediate contact with the Tompkins County 9-1-1 Center. This arrangement gives us immediate access to mutual aid support from the Tompkins County Sheriff 's Department, Ithaca Police Department, and the New York State Police. Officers from these agencies assist at selected events on the Ithaca College campus.
Ithaca College is proud of its dedicated officers and public safety staff and of the high standards set by Public Safety. An ongoing training program of in-service courses, seminars, weekly staff meetings, and conferences is maintained to ensure that the College's public safety program remains state of the art.
