|HIV and South Africa
Jun 30, 2008
Dear Dr. Frascino,
I am HIV positive but the virus has been undetectable according to my blood tests for nearly 8 years (I was diagnosed in 1999). I have been on Sustiva which I take daily (one pill). My question is that I am planning a trip to South Africa and am concerned about their policies regarding HIV positive travelers. Since I will be traveling with friends who are not aware of my status, I do not want any issues at airports, etc. as we enter, leave or travel around the country. Also, do any other adjoinging contries (specifically Zimbabwe, Namibia, Malawi or Botswana) have any regulations regarding HIV positive travelers since we may want to visit these countries as well?
Response from Dr. Frascino
The information you requested, or at least how to get it, was waiting for you in the archives. See below.
Bon voyage.

Research on HIV and Travel Restrictions (ON THE ROAD WITH HIV) (TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS) Mar 30, 2008
The other day I asked you to help me with sources for making a research on HIV related Travel restrictions but I coudn't see the answer. So Can you help me please if it is not something you can not display it on your website you can send it to my email. Regards, Aron
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Aron,
See below.

Traveling Abroad for the HIV+ Nov 14, 2007
Can you tell me where I can find a list of countries that bar HIV+ people from entering their country? I will like to travel abroad, but I've heard some countries will not allow me in their border because of my HIV status.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'll reprint some helpful information for HIV-positive travelers below. As for travel restrictions, the UK-based HIV/AIDS educational organization NAM lists entry restrictions for more than 150 countries on their AIDS map site: www.aidsmap.com/en/docs/C92D5639-E779-44EC-B8F8-OCECCC23275A.asp. But for the most accurate and current information, call each destination's embassy or consulate and ask anonymously!

Aruba Sep 2, 2007
Can't seem to find the right place to put this. But, does anyone have any idea if the country of Aruba has restrictions on travelers with HIV, of course, it is not obvious, but MEDS will come withus.
Response from Dr. Frascino
The best advice for travelers with HIV questions is to call your destination's embassy or consulate and ask your question anonymously. Travel restrictions can change and vary considerably from country to country. I'll reprint some recent travel information from those "on the road with HIV" below.
Good luck and bon voyage!

On the Road with HIV: A Guide for Positive Travelers
Hooray for summertime! There's something about the longer days and warmer nights that helps bring out the traveler in all of us.
"Traveling has an element of spontaneity and the unknown," says Joni Lavick, MFT. "You never know what can happen." She sees this as potentially a great thing for people who are living with HIV.
Lavick has been working with HIV positive patients since 1988. She has a private practice in Santa Monica and is a clinical supervisor at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. "One of the challenges of being HIV positive is having the resilience to stay on top of it," she says. "It requires a lot of mental-health energy to be able to spring back." She believes travel can play an important role in bolstering this necessary resilience.
When we arrive in a different country, we often have to deal with a different culture, language, climate--you name it. "We give ourselves credit for achieving the smallest, silliest things when we are traveling," Lavick explains, like reading a map correctly, figuring out a new transportation system to get to the next museum, or just finding our hotel.
Experiencing new things--and the resourcefulness it requires--helps us tackle other challenges, including those that are health related. "You know inside yourself that you have the ability to take on new things as they are thrown your way," says Lavick.
So, even though packing your meds, avoiding new infections, and locating medical services away from home might seem overwhelming (especially if it's your first time traveling with HIV), there are lots of good reasons for you to take that trip. Lavick considers it a great opportunity to "get out of your head" and take the focus off of yourself.
Doing your homework and being prepared--including talking with your doctor, carefully researching your destination, and getting any necessary pre-trip medications--can help take the anxiety out of traveling so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
Belize or Bust
So, you've decided it's time to take a break from your daily life. You're craving a change of scenery and perspective. Carefully considering what kind of destination, pace, and expense are best for you is essential to planning a healthy and rewarding trip.
At the most basic level, it's important to be honest with yourself about how you're feeling physically and emotionally. Are you up for that six-day white-water rafting adventure with your extended family? In some cases, opting for a more stress-free vacation (such as a cruise or some R&R at an all-inclusive beach resort) may do your mind and body more good.
Brad Hudson, founder of Travel Zone (www.travelzone-sfo.com), says all-inclusive resort vacations and cruises are good for people who don't want the hassle of moving hotels and packing and unpacking. They also afford guaranteed refrigeration for medications. "This a great option when you want to see more than one place without having to plan all the details yourself," he says. Some tour companies cater specifically to the gay and lesbian community, including RSVP Vacations, Atlantis Events, Above and Beyond Tours, Alyson Adventures, Pied Piper Travel, and Toto Tours.
One of Alyson Adventures' most popular tours is a rafting trip down the Colorado River. Even though the location is remote, owner Phillip Sheldon points out that tour guides have a built-in refrigerator: "The river can maintain everything from steak dinners to individual medications." All of the guides are equipped with satellite phones in case of an emergency, but he says there is a certain amount of self-selection involved. "We try to give people a good idea of what the trip is all about and leave it up to them to decide. The nice thing is, because we offer 50 trips a year to 35 countries, everyone can find something that works for them."
Irv, a marketing and sales consultant in Northern California, likes cruises because he can unpack once and visit several places. "The food is great and I get to pay for it all before I leave," he says. "The amenities are great. I never have to worry about having access to a refrigerator." In - stead of being drawn to gay cruises, he often prefers to keep company with seniors. "They are the most compassionate people," he says. "When you sit down to dinner, everyone will look you in the eye and introduce themselves. I always have the most stimulating conversations." And if he likes a particular city, he knows he can always go back.
"There's something very therapeutic about being in a place where there is no land for miles," says Irv. "Every time I come back from a cruise, I feel like I've added a year to my life."
You needn't stray too far from home, though, to reap the benefits of travel. "I'm not a big fan of flying, and really, it doesn't take a lot of mileage to get some distance from your daily life," says Mary, a San Francisco graphic designer. "On a road trip, I don't have to worry about getting to the airport on time or getting through security with all my stuff. I can throw my meds and my flip flops in a backpack and be on vacation the minute I get in the car!"
An added benefit of local trips or less luxurious getaways is, of course, the lighter burden on your wallet. Lavick says that even many of her patients who are on disability or have fixed incomes find the means to travel--by taking really cheap flights or using frequent flyer miles and renting inexpensive apartments (equipped with money-saving kitchens) in the off-season. One such client recently spent a month in France. "Travel isn't just for my affluent patients," she says. "Everyone comes back energized and rejuvenated. I see nothing but positive mental benefits from travel."
However you decide to spend your time away--whether you're surfing the Pacific or your best friend's couch--remember to listen to your body. You'll get more out of your trip if you stay hydrated, eat well, and take rest when you need it.
You and Your MD
The first step that any HIV-positive traveler should take is to evaluate your overall health with a physician, keeping a close eye on your CD4 cell count. If it's below 200 cells/mm3 (which indicates severe immunodeficiency), trips to areas where parasitic, bacterial, and viral diseases are highly prevalent can be risky.
Your physician or travel doctor can offer suggestions about staying healthy on the road and may be able to share names of medical providers who treat HIV in the regions you plan to visit.
Stephen E. Follansbee, M.D., Director of HIV Services and Travel Medicine for Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, encourages travel for his HIV positive patients. "I think it's a good idea and most people can travel safely," he says, with the caveat that their travel plans should be individualized and address any special health considerations and treatment regimens.
"One of the things that scared me when I first found out I was HIV positive was the idea that it might prevent me from traveling," says Ghee, a San Francisco native and avid traveler who was diagnosed in 1995. He sees his doctor regularly and checks in with him before he travels. "I always ask any questions I might have about a future trip I'm planning, but by now I'm pretty versed and secure in the choices I make," he says.
Travel Tips
Snack Savvy
If you need to take your medications with food, come prepared: whether you're traveling by train, plane, or automobile, pack a few snacks. You'll also want to bring a bottle or two of water (or purchase one once you've passed through airport security).
Jet Setting: Meds and Time Zone Changes
You may need to adjust your medication schedule when you cross into a different time zone. Stephen Follansbee, M.D., suggests waiting 24 hours and then taking your next dose at your normal time, wherever you are. If you are a few hours off it shouldn't make a huge difference, he says. The most important thing is to stick to a regimen that's been working for you.
A seasoned traveler, Irv takes his pills once in the morning and again in the evening. "I'm completely on vacation during the day and don't think about HIV again until night. One thing I've learned about HIV is that it loves attention," he says.
A Medication Vacation?
Although vacations can be a great opportunity to shift your attention beyond your HIV health, many doctors advise against taking a holiday from your meds. Treatment interruptions carry the risk of developing drug-resistance mutations, as well as other health problems (see "Structured Treatment Interruptions: After SMART" in the Summer 2006 issue of BETA).
"I don't typically recommend taking a break from meds," says Dr. Follansbee. "And I definitely don't recommend it for travel. There are too many possible complications." Instead, he works with patients to help streamline their daily dosing schedules and manage their pill burden.
Playing it Safe
Take all of the same precautions you would at home to prevent HIV transmission. Bring a healthy supply of condoms if that's part of your safer sex practice--they may be harder to find or of inferior quality in some travel spots.
First-Aid Essentials
Even though you may be able to buy many of these items during your trip, the peace of mind of having them at hand can be worth the extra bit of room they take up in your suitcase:
local antihistamine
hand sanitizer
pain relievers
fever reducers
antiemetics (to treat nausea or motion sickness)
Your doctor can recommend specific travelers' first-aid products that will not interact with your antiretroviral medications.
Getting Immunized
When Irv went to India, he got 22 pre-trip shots. "There are a lot of logistics involved when traveling with HIV, but it's worth it," he says.
Ask your physician or travel medicine expert and check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site for more information regarding specific immunizations that are recommended for the areas you plan to visit. You'll also want to confirm that all of your routine immunizations are up-to-date; this is especially important for children with HIV. In general, all HIV positive travelers are advised to be vaccinated against polio, typhoid, and hepatitis A and B.
Anyone with a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm3 is advised to avoid "live vaccines," such as those for measles and yellow fever. In general, killed-virus vaccines are safer for people with HIV. Some countries require proof of immunization for entry. If Dr. Follansbee is not able to vaccinate one of his patients for health reasons, he provides a letter explaining why his patient has not received the required immunizations (although this precaution does not guarantee that the unvaccinated traveler will be allowed to enter the country).
Dr. Follansbee says it's also important to be aware that certain drugs may interact negatively with HIV medications; for example, malaria prevention drugs may have temporary neurological effects (for example, bizarre, vivid dreams) that compound side effects associated with some antiretrovirals, such as efavirenz (Sustiva). It is always important to talk to your primary care physician and about the pre-trip vaccinations and medications that are right for you.
Managing Your Meds
As most people taking anti-HIV meds have learned from experience, no treatment regimen is completely free from side effects. These usually manifest within a few weeks after beginning treatment or making a switch, so it's smart to give yourself a solid month or two before wandering too far from home.
Irv takes 24 prescription pills a day and knows first-hand the importance of adjusting to a new regimen before hitting the road. "All the ads for new HIV medications say things like, 'You can ride bikes, climb mountains,' and I think, 'Are you kidding?' Maybe after you get over the explosive diarrhea and whatever other side effects they have," he says. "Once you start to jive with your medication, that's when I say it's time to get out of Dodge."
Irv has other health issues along with HIV, including a heart condition and diabetes. When he travels, he brings his doctors' contact information, a printout of the results from his most recent viral load test and CD4 cell count, and a list of all of the prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and alternative treatments he uses (and their dosages).
On the Web
Consult the CDC's list of recommended immunizations for destinations worldwide:
Search the International Society of Travel Medicine's online directory of travelers' health clinics:
www.istm.org/WebForms/Members/IndexSecure.aspx ?sUrl=%2fclinicdir%2fclinicdir.aspx
If your trip involves flying, pack as much of your medication in your carry-on bag as possible, since there is always a chance your luggage could be lost or delayed. According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, prescription and non-prescription medications do not need to be packaged in the usual quart-size clear plastic bag. If your medications are in liquid, gel, or aerosol form in containers greater than three ounces, you must declare them at the screening checkpoint (be sure to check the TSA Web site for updates). And if the name on your prescription label does not match the name on your passport or driver's license, be prepared to explain why to a security officer.
It's wise to count out your pills ahead of time, and to bring extras along in case you experience any delays or decide to extend your trip. Alejandra, a counselor for the Oakland-based organization WORLD (Women Organized to Respond to Life Threatening Disease), often travels with double the amount of medication she needs. Depending on how long you plan to be away, you may also want to carry your meds in something other than their original containers (such as zip-top plastic bags) to avoid extra bulk in your luggage--just be sure to keep a copy of the prescription or the prescription label with you. If any of your medicines come with a desiccant (a drying agent), transfer it to the new container.
If you're carrying any medicines that might be controlled substances (some pain medications, for instance), it's a good idea to keep them in their original containers with your prescription information attached. Carrying a letter from your doctor that states you are taking the drugs for a chronic medical condition can also be helpful.
Regardless of where you go, bring a list of your medications, dosages, and dosing schedules, and your doctor's name and phone number. Always be prepared to replace your medicines, just in case. You may want to ask your doctor to give you extra copies of your prescriptions.
If any of your medications are temperature-sensitive, consider storing them in a small, insulated lunch bag with an artificial-ice freezer pack until you get to your destination. And make arrangements for a refrigerator where you'll be staying. "Some medications will retain their efficacy for up to a month at room temperature," says Dr. Follansbee. "Just keep them out of direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperatures." (So, in other words, no driving through the Sahara with your meds on the dashboard.) Always read the manufacturer's guidelines and check with your doctor to confirm your options for storing medications.
HIV and International Travel
Most tourist destinations do not restrict entry to HIV positive visitors who plan to stay for three months or less. Still, there are several countries that may deport or block the entry of positive travelers. If you are planning to travel internationally, do your homework and find out what entry restrictions you may encounter at your destination.
Traveling overseas can be a great opportunity to see the resources that are available to HIV positive people in other areas. "Some of my patients make a special point to visit HIV clinics and organizations when they travel," says Lavick. "It becomes an anchoring point of their trip."
Alejandra is an enthusiastic traveler who has taken several trips to Spain (including two six-month stints). She researched the country's health care system in advance and was confident she would be able to find a clinic where she could be treated and receive her medications if necessary. She encourages other positive travelers to ask their doctors if they have any questions or concerns about emergency treatment abroad.
Irv took a month-long European cruise last October, starting in Istanbul and ending in Barcelona. "These countries were more liberal than I ever imagined," he says. He finds that many countries (such as Turkey, which he calls "the most enlightened" place he's visited so far) are more open and accommodating to HIV positive travelers than is the United States. He recalls that when traveling with an ex-partner who was not an American citizen, going through U.S. customs was the worst part of their trip. "England is also challenging," he says. "It makes me think twice before I travel there."
Ghee recently returned from ten days in Belize. "Seeing other ways of life opens your mind," he says. "I like to get a feel for what other people think of Americans and our politics." He recalls a particularly memorable trip to Guatemala to visit the Mayan ruins of Tecal: "Listening to the tour guides describe this ancient civilization makes you think about your own world. It reminds you that you are not invincible. Everything is temporary."
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
So much of traveling is about sampling the local cuisine. Having HIV shouldn't prevent you from satiating your inner foodie. You'll just want to take a few extra precautions to keep yourself healthy.
Although the exotic smells from street vendors and outdoor markets may be tempting, it's often best to look rather than taste. Like most foreign travelers--both HIV positive and negative--you would be wise to steer clear of raw fruits and vegetables (which may retain unfamiliar microorganisms from soil or water), raw or undercooked seafood or meat (ground meats can be especially risky), and unpasteurized milk and dairy products. According to the CDC, foods that are generally safe include steaming-hot foods and fruits that you peel yourself.
Although eating food from a restaurant is usually your safest bet, be sensible about the foods you choose, especially in hotter climates where certain ingredients--such as eggs and dairy products--tend to spoil easily. Dr. Follansbee recalls a time when one of his patients who was visiting Cairo, and on his way to India to see the Taj Mahal, ate an egg-salad sandwich from his hotel restaurant. He ended up in a U.S. military hospital with severe food poisoning and shortly afterwards was on a plane back to the United States. It's better to err on the safe side than risk cutting your trip short.
If you're unsure about the local water supply, drink distilled water or bottled carbonated beverages--without ice. (A bottle labeled "purified spring water" doesn't necessarily guarantee that it will be clear of Cryptosporidium parvum, one of the most common infecting agents in the severe diarrhea associated with HIV disease.) This is especially important when visiting developing countries where the water supply may contain microorganisms that pose little threat to local residents (who ingest them daily) but wreak havoc on the uninitiated stomachs of foreign visitors. If bottled water is not available, boil your water for at least one full minute before drinking it.
International Travel (Restrictions May Apply)
The UK-based HIV/AIDS education organization NAM lists entry restrictions for more than 150 countries on their AIDSMap site:
But for the most accurate and current information, call each destination's embassy or consulate and ask--anonymously.
Staying Healthy Abroad
In addition to having HIV, Alejandra also experiences lupus outbreaks. On her very first trip after her diagnosis, she packed "every medicine imaginable" in her travel kit. Now she says she's more relaxed but still plans ahead: "There are many positive things about traveling, but I always take precautions." For example, before visiting Bolivia, she educated herself about altitude sickness so she would be prepared when she arrived. "In general, it's good to know about different sicknesses or conditions that may be associated with the place you're visiting," she advises. "I tend to associate however I'm feeling with my HIV, but sometimes there's a simple explanation that is also very preventable." Alejandra also recommends talking with other travelers about their experiences to learn more about your destination.
Especially before traveling to tropical or subtropical countries, consider consulting a travel medicine specialist. He or she can offer suggestions about staying healthy in places where certain illnesses, such as tuberculosis, may pose special threats to HIV positive visitors. If you're planning to be away for more than a month, it's good practice to look into facilities for treatment of HIV-related problems in your destinations.
Be sure to take extra precautions against insect-borne diseases when visiting destinations where they are a problem. This includes using insect repellent that contains 30% to 40% DEET. (People with sensitive skin may prefer to wear pants and long sleeves and spray insect repellant onto their clothing rather than directly onto the skin.) Many camping-supply stores also carry insect-repelling clothing as well as mosquito nets that are pretreated with the insect repellent permethrin. Sleeping under a mosquito net (which can often be purchased inexpensively in local markets and shops) is highly recommended in areas where malaria or dengue fever is prevalent.
To prevent possible waterborne infections, such as cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis (both caused by microscopic parasites), you may want to avoid swimming in potentially contaminated water, such as rivers, lakes, and streams, and even swimming pools if they are not properly chlorinated. If you do indulge in a dip, be extra careful not to swallow water.
The CDC and most doctors recommend avoiding areas where yellow fever is widespread. Tuberculosis is very common worldwide and can be very serious in people living with HIV; be sure to get tested when you return home.
Medical Care and Insurance
If you're traveling to a remote area or developing country, Hudson (of Travel Zone) recommends calling your medical insurance plan to ask what it covers when you are away from home. Many insurance plans have limited benefits outside the home country. For example, the Medicare/Medicaid program does not cover medical services received abroad. Very few plans cover the cost of flying you home if you become very sick.
"It could be a good idea to supplement your coverage with traveler's insurance," says Hudson. Traveler's insurance generally covers preexisting conditions, as well as MedEvac in case you need to be airlifted to a hospital. (A single uninsured trip in a MedEvac plane can cost thousands of dollars.) Hudson also advises travelers to check with their credit card issuers before buying additional coverage, as some cardholders are entitled to free emergency medical evacuation coverage. Some tour companies, such as Alyson Adventures, automatically provide traveler's insurance (which covers preexisting conditions) for their customers.
Happy Trails
"Whether or not you have the disease, it's up to you how much risk you want to take when you travel," Ghee says. He's gone on more trips in the last five years than ever before. "It's the old cliché--a blessing in disguise," he says. He still thinks about his mortality, but he has faith in the medications he's taking. "I'm a walking example that they work," he says.
And "getting away" doesn't have to mean getting into debt. "Taking short trips--road trips, day trips--can be very healing," says Mary. "I've learned that vacations don't have to be this huge thing you do, with lots of planning and lots of money. Just getting out and enjoying the environment around you can be a true vacation, even if you're only away for a weekend." She's looking forward to heading down the coast with her husband this summer.
Irv is planning his next trip, too: a cruise (of course) to Antarctica and South America. "When I travel, I get excited. I make new friends, have new experiences, and my HIV fades into the background. Every time I get out, I think, 'I'm doing this for David and Frank, and George,'" friends he lost to AIDS. For him, living well while he explores the globe is the best medicine of all.

nsa888 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
I have an existing logo at http://www.turnstudio.net. I think I want the words in an oblong but with a white background and two light blue and red borders. Please feel free to use your imagination outside of this brief because you will doubtless have much better ideas than me. I will provide CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on ALL submissions.
I want something amalgamating the roundel style of the Wynn's logo, the blue and red colours of Pepsi (see link below). On the Wynn's logo the borders are pinched at the top and bottom but I think it might be better if these were NOT pinched for my logo.
The font can be free, but it should be clear and easily read. The existing font used on the site should NOT be considered a guide because I am not happy with it. I am not sure whether I prefer upper or lower case, and I don't know whether to have black text or something else.
I want to use the blue and red colours elsewhere in the branding, such as bold stripes in the studio, so maybe they shouldn't have effects such as shading that might be difficult to reproduce on printed vinyl.
I just need the borders and the font. I don't need any other graphics in the logo. I will happily accept that I'm no design expert, so IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR IMAGINATION, PLEASE DO. I will comment on ALL of the logos.
Please bear in mind that the logo will be inserted into videos, similar to what you see on my website, so it must stand out there.
Sorry for complicating what I said was a simple brief. I will make the prize guaranteed in a day or so assuming I get a bit of interest in this contest. Chicken/egg I know... I have never used Western Union etc, but I am happy to do this assuming the cost isn't more than 5% of the prize. Paypal is also no problem. IBAN bank transfers are OK if you are in Europe, again subject to cost.
- My website
- Wynn's for the general style
- Pepsi logo for the red/blue colours
An overly complicated logo that will not stand out when reduced down to <100x100.

Dylan is not Brendan Fraser
You don't know what I'm talking about? Maybe you missed it yesterday. Or maybe you've blocked it from your memory to reduce scarring. Click here for a refresher, then shudder.
Luke Perry, pictured here today in Cannes promoting Justice, is three years older than Brendan, and holding up rather nicely. I can forgive that high class rodeo business he's wearing here too. Because, well, he's Dylan McKay. Any excuse to write about 90210. And then spend half an hour f-cking around on YouTube deciding which clip to attach.
After a lot of laughing – remember when he started waving a gun around at Brandon who broke into his house because Dylan was in the shower, no reason for the drama whatsoever? – I've decided on this one. Please. I still feel fluttery when he says to her "so... you're Brandon's sister..." And then she starts daydreaming. After all this time, it's still the best.

Real Madrid beat Manchester City to the signing of Malaga's Isco much to the delight of the Spanish club.
Isco was on fire in the UEFA Euro U-21 Championships leading the Spanish side to a comfortable victory.
His clever footwork and vision, proved to be too much for his opponents. His close control, dribbling and ability to take the opposition down on his own makes him one of the best in the business.
He was lively and dangerous throughout and without doubt was one of the best players in Israel during the summer.
Isco has already made his senior debut for Spain and is considered as a worthy back-up to the majestic Andreas Iniesta.
He will provide competition for the likes of German magician Mezut Ozil, Croatian playmaker Luka Modric and Brazil's evergreen Kaka for the modern day number 10 role.
Ozil is often picked to start just behind the main striker but he now faces stiff competition from the versatile playmaker Modric.
Modric is a deep-lying playmaker but he is comfortable playing in an advanced role and towards the end of last season he found his feet in La Liga much to the delight of the fans.
With Ozil and Modric in such form, Kaka found it difficult to get the playing time he deserves.
The arrival of Isco is expected to make matters worse for the former Ballon d'or winner. Isco is expected to provide tough competition for Ozil for that spot.
Even though former coach Ancelotti's appointment at the helm gives him a glimmer of hope for the Brazilian, he needs to return to his best to turn the tables around.
Upcoming youngster Jese Rodriguez is also expecting playing time at Madrid next season. He will be able to fulfil the role of a squad player and that indirectly points to the exit of one of the best players in past decade. The man who set the world on fire at AC Milan, found it hard at Madrid and his disastrous spell might reach the end soon.
With just a year to the World Cup, Kaka needs regular playing time to have any chances of dreaming a return to the Selecao line-up.
He will find it very difficult at Real Madrid so it may be in the best interest of both parties to bid goodbye to each other.

IBM® Notes® and IBM Domino® offerings deliver enterprise−grade collaboration capabilities, across a wide range of uses and applications. It can be deployed as core e−mail and enterprise scheduling infrastructure, as a custom application platform, or both. This extensive breadth of uses also creates a wide array of deployment scenarios. The IBM Notes and Domino licensing model supports all of these scenarios, in ways that make it easy to acquire and deploy.
IBM offers you three ways to license IBM Notes and Domino software to match your buying preferences and let you pay according to the function and flexibility you need.
IBM Notes and Domino licensing
Client/server licensing
|Per user licensing
|PVU licensing
|Server options
|IBM Domino Express offerings priced per user
|IBM Domino Utility Server Express
|Client options
|CEO bundle
|IBM Domino Utility Server
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is IBM Notes and Domino software licensed?
A. There are three primary ways to acquire licenses of software in the Notes and Domino family:
Acquire a client access license for each user, plus server licenses determined by the total processor value units associated with your server machine(s). Various options are available for both client access license and server, depending on the degree of function you need (messaging only or messaging plus collaborative applications).
Pay a client access license per user based on your total number of users. This option is available through a simple list of options designed for small and midsize businesses, and others designed for large enterprises. With these offerings, you are entitled to deploy as many Domino servers of a particular type as you want, and each user is entitled to use any of the specified client types. Or, leverage extensive IBM expertise in messaging and collaboration with a hosted environment that helps provide predicable costs and assistance with security, availability, and compliance requirements.
Processor value unit licensing (applications only, no messaging)
Acquire server licenses determined by the total processor value units associated with your server machine(s). Client access licenses are not required for application access by Web browser access, inside or outside your company. Two offerings are licensed in this fashion−one designed for small and midsize businesses, and one designed for larger enterprises.
Q. How do I acquire IBM Notes and Domino software licenses?
A. IBM Domino Client access licenses and Domino software licenses can be acquired through the IBM Passport Advantage® or IBM Passport Advantage Express software acquisition program, either from IBM or from an IBM Business Partner who is a software reseller. Individual licenses can be acquired online using the IBM Software Catalog.
Q. What is the IBM Passport Advantage program?
A. IBM Passport Advantage is IBM's comprehensive software licensing and Software Subscription and Support program. It is a flexible and cost−effective way for organizations to reap the benefits of volume pricing for new software, new releases of the latest technology, and technical support to keep businesses up and running. The Passport Advantage program consists of a general acquisition program for specific software products and their supporting Software Subscription and Support services, as well as a Complete Enterprise Option (CEO) to acquire groups of products to be deployed across an enterprise on a per−user basis.
Q. What are the differences between the Passport Advantage and Passport Advantage Express programs?
A. Passport Advantage and Passport Advantage Express are both IBM programs that cover software license acquisition and software subscription and support services under a single, common set of agreements, processes and tools. The Passport Advantage program is focused on larger enterprises that may have multiple sites. It involves making a volume commitment for the acquisition of IBM software licenses over a period of time. The size of the commitment determines the suggested volume price level. Passport Advantage Express is a transaction−based program designed to meet the needs of smaller, single site enterprises, with no requirement for a volume commitment.
Q. What tradeup options are available to move from one messaging and collaboration offering to...
A. IBM offers several in−family and competitive tradeup part numbers. As the name suggests, in−family pricing applies to moving from messaging−only capabilities to full collaboration capabilities within the same family (IBM Domino server licenses acquired through the client−server licensing model, IBM Domino Express per user licenses, select client licenses). In−family tradeup pricing is generally lower than the difference between current prices of the existing and new licenses.
The available in−family tradeup options are:
- IBM Domino Messaging Server to IBM Domino Enterprise server (except for Linux® on the IBM System z™ platform)
- IBM Domino Messaging Express to IBM Domino Collaboration Express
- IBM Domino Messaging Express or IBM Domino Collaboration Express to Passport Advantage CEO Communications per user licensing
- IBM Domino Messaging Client Access License to IBM Domino Enterprise Client Access License
Competitive tradeup licenses are discounted versions of regular IBM Domino Client access license offerings, and you are generally eligible when you retire non−IBM, competitive commercial e−mail software as part of the transaction. Eligibility extends to open source e−mail software when moving to IBM software running on the Linux operating system. Think of it as a way to turn in your current non− IBM licenses toward new IBM licenses. Please note that there are currently no competitive tradeup licenses for server software.
Competitive tradeup options are available to move from competitive e−mail software to:
- IBM Domino Messaging Client access license
- IBM Domino Enterprise Client access license
- IBM Domino Messaging Express
- IBM Domino Collaboration Express

The vivid red of the tomato instantly brings to mind the blissful warm days of summer. The sultry sun of the warm season ripens and deepens the intensity of its colour and its captivating flavours. Delectable, healthy and available on board MSC Cruises ships, they are simply delicious.
The tomato, a plant originally native to the Americas, has become one of the basic ingredients of the Mediterranean diet. Now cultivated across the world, it has become a vegetable that unites continents and people thanks to both its taste and health benefits.
To think that when it was introduced to Europe way back in 1540 by Hernan Cortés, it was used as an ornamental plant and was believed to be poisonous. It was only later that its health and nutritional properties, and above all its rich, full-bodied taste, were discovered. The French believed it to have aphrodisiac properties and christened it the "pomme d'amour" or "apple of love".
Once ripe, the tomato is rich in active nutrients and low in calories. It contains the group B vitamins, ascorbic acid and vitamins D and E, which ensure its antioxidant properties. Its mineral content is also impressive: iron, zinc, selenium, phosphorus and calcium.
In the kitchens on MSC Cruises ships, the tomato is king: from the colourful salads that stand out on every buffet to the luscious sauces for pasta, meat and fish, and not forgetting the unbeatable pizza that is always available at any time of the day.
It is a basic ingredient of the alcoholic and health beverages on offer at our bars. When consumed as a liquidised drink, it ensures an excellent amount of lycopene, an antioxidant that is very useful in the prevention of some forms of cancer.
If you are daring enough, enjoy it in a fiery blend with vodka, Tabasco, lemon, salt and pepper, the ingredients for one of the most famous cocktails: the Bloody Mary, a drink that eases the flow of conversation and enlivens the evening.

Let me say this, that I do not know how this season ends.......but what I do know is that I have witnessed some truly special young men put their bodies on the line, have poured their hearts and emotions on the line, to represent their College, their community, and represent their families. The levity I speak of is in regards to how we view this team, and how we support this team. This has been a great season to date, filled with ups and downs, and I'll in betweens. From goal line last second wins, to scoring 2 touchdowns in a matter of minutes to come from behind just in the nick of Time, to having to gut check ourselves on defense and hold off another team bearing down on us as time is close to expiring, and having to fend them off to secure the victory. It's been just amazing to see this group continue to find ways to win ball games. And because of that, there is a narrative being created that because these games have not been won in blowout fashion or by comfortable point spreads that somehow we are to feel disappointed in this.
And what I'm here to say today is, STOP IT. Do not let your professional sports attitude / demeanor, level of fandom, dictate how you root for these young men. I want you to remember when you are discussing this team that these are young men, not robots, not professionals paid only to play football and get results. These are TRUE STUDENT ATHLETES that are held to the highest standards in education. AND, they play through pain, injury, hardship, that is often times not discussed or even mentioned. Let me speak from personal experience, as my son is a senior, in his pod at school (4 players that live together) we have had a player almost die on the field and no longer can play the game he loves, we have had a player break his neck / vertebrae and can no longer play the game that he loves. We have my son who is playing with currently or has in the recent past, playing with a bad Achilles injury, an injured opposite foot, 2 hamstring pulls, groin strain, a separated shoulder, and injured back that may require surgery after football is over, and that's not even including the minor bumps and bruises of a stinger, sprained wrist and ankles. And he's a skill position. That's not even mentioning the Interior Linemen that are involved in car crash like violent interactions on a play by play basis, and are asked to cut other lineman, are asked to pull out and lead the rushing attack. Playing in big bulky leg and knee braces, enduring scopes and surgeries to continue playing for their brothers and their program.
The players have girlfriends / wives, some have kids of their own, they all have families as well that have their own family dynamics in play. Light bills and car payments, and real life goes on that also impacts them. These young men also live hours from home, so while they endure their physical ailments, their family elements, they also do it hours from their permanent address. After Long days of school and in between exams and homework.
I say all of that to say, it's all been worth it. As we wind down on my sons senior season, we look back with fond memories that we have made, approaching a degree on schedule, And approaching a SoCon championship and ring that we so co Ed as to leave a lasting legacy of a team that came together and made something special happen. We knew that we were apart of a special class of young men 4 years ago, and they are razors edge close to cementing their legacy at Wofford as champions. Don't mind me for celebrating LOUDLY every last second, come from behind victory and being proud of a 7-1 record with every game coming down to the wire. I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT and I don't shy away from saying it. The young men give it all they have, every single time, so does the staff, and here lately, it happens to be enough to be victorious more times than not.
And that's pretty damn good to me for a little old school out in Spartanburg, SC....with the 2nd smallest enrollment in Division 1 and no huge endowment. And growing from NAIA to Division 1. Let's embrace and celebrate the underdog Terriers as they continue to be the gold standard of our Conference both on and off of the field. I want us to win em all...by as many as possible, but as is life, that doesn't happen that often. So I'm going to continue to celebrate these young men and their accomplishments by 1.......or 101.......

White wines are important to Lombardy, whose greatest contribution to Italy's infinite range of wines is Franciacorta, a Champagne-method sparkling wine that is arguably the finest made outside Champagne. Valtellina, in the hilly, alpine north of Lombardy near Switzerland, makes a rather austere, high-acid Nebbiolo in a climate that can be too extreme for this variety in some years.

Lots of major cross currents out there, at least according to the headlines, so let's start off with headlines for you guys today.
- Social Security crisis? Not if wealthy pay their way
- Social Security Crisis A Matter Of Time
- World Leaders Show Unity On Fiscal Crisis
- Obama Details Plan to Aid Victims of Fiscal Crisis
- There are ways to avoid fiscal crisis
- France: strikes, protests mount vs. austerity measures
- Barak, Clinton Meet Over Mideast Crisis
Oh wait, my bad. Those aren't today's headlines. None of the above articles were written in the last five years. That's right. Every single article I just highlighted above is at least two years older than Sofia, my 3 year old niece. The last few are more than a decade old. Barak in that last column, isn't even referring to Barack Obama, by the way, who was still pretending to teach "Constitutional Law" in a college in Chi-town when that article was written.
You guys know how hard I work to stay educated and objective about the news that dominates the headlines at any given time. The markets have had wild drops of 75% and rallies of 300% in the Nasdaq /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP alone over the same time period that the headlines above come from. Apple's been up 10,000%, it's been down 70%, and its done a whole lot more swinging in the years since then. Did these headlines matter to Gap investors and traders? How about those guys who bought Sears in 2002? Starbucks? Ford's stock has done its own thing over the years too, huh?
None of the drivers of those swings are mentioned anywhere in all that analysis and reporting above. None of the above issues, proclamations, and reports have changed, have they? So what's the value of polluting your trading strategies with that nonsense.
Stay focused. No trades for me today. Don't forget we've got this week's Live Q&A Chat coming up at 2pm EST at http://TradingWithCody.com/chat or Cody Word readers can email me your question to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll include it and my answer in the transcript we publish each Thursday.

Do you remember that eight-game winning streak? Well, the Mets are 7-9 since and if they continue their sputtering they could be in danger of giving back the ground they gained.
They'll give the ball to Johan Santana tonight with the hope of climbing back to ten games over .500.
Santana, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, is 1-3 with a 3.40 ERA in his last seven starts. He's been given two runs or less in six of them – all games lost by the Mets.

Stop phantom loads -- which cost Americans $100 a year on average -- by turning off power strips when you aren't using holiday decorations.
Keep in the holiday spirit while saving energy by using timer controls to turn holiday lights on and off at specific times.
Light your tree with LEDS and save money -- it only costs $0.27 to light a 6-foot tree for 12 hours a day for 40 days with LEDs compared to $10 for incandescent lights.
This holiday, don't waste heat from your stovetop. Use right-sized pots on stove burners to save about $36 annually with an electric range or $18 with gas.
This holiday, give the gift that keeps on giving -- rechargeable batteries are more cost effective than disposable batteries.
This holiday, ask for ENERGY STAR home electronics for instant energy savings. Depending on usage, an ENERGY STAR computer can save 30-65 percent more energy compared a computer without this designation.
Open curtains during the day to allow sunlight to naturally warm your home, and close them at night to reduce the chill from cold windows.
Installing storm windows can help reduce heat loss through your windows by 25-50 percent.
Keep warm air in your house and cold air out with proper chimney maintenance -- like sealing your fireplace flue damper, caulking around your hearth, and installing tempered glass doors and a heat-air exchange system to blow warmed air back into the room.
Use a programmable thermostat when you aren't home -- lowering your thermostat 10-15 degrees for 8 hours can save 5-15 percent a year on heating bills.
Save 5-30 percent on your energy bill by making energy-efficient upgrades following a home energy audit.

In my experience, when people stop learning their instrument, the majority retain, no matter how small, a fondness/casual liking of what they learned. They may on the odd occasion return to their instrument, if only to play for pleasure or 'mess around'. However the reasons they stopped learning (which are vast) generally mean they don't tend to return to their instrument soon after quitting. It can therefore be many years before their interest is rekindled.
My feeling is that while it might be understandable to stop lessons, quitting learning the instrument altogether (or even playing for pleasure) is drastic. Unless you had absolutely no ability and made little progress, it would be a mistake to abandon your instrument altogether because of:
- the time and money spent towards lessons
- the experience and knowledge gained from learning and playing various pieces
- the satisfaction in being able to entertain others
- your own personal happiness in being able to play for pleasure
It is understandable if as a child you had 'pushy' parents and they drove you hard to pass your music exams in pieces that were of no interest to you. The hard work and preparation can be draining and too much for some, totally putting them off their instrument once the exams are over. However in months and years to come, you should recognise how well you did in working hard towards your exams because in doing so, you raised your level of playing. So even if you never have another lesson again, your standard would have been raised to such a level that you now benefit by being able to learn other pieces for pleasure that would have been far harder before your exams.
I have also met people who had ideas for songs which they could play part of on the piano. The great shame is that these people tell me they lost all that because they stopped playing completely. And to think that some possible gems might have occurred from their ideas if only they had stayed with their instrument in some form. If you're in a similar position where you have stopped lessons but were creative with tunes for songs, don't go down that route! Find an outlet for your creativity.
When I speak with adults (especially the parents of those learning an instrument) I am always delighted to hear they kept music a part of their lives. Often, this has led to some even doing extra curricular music activities such as:
- Help out at a their school/ church/singing class/play/dramatic production
- Play in a band or other group
- Fulfil a lifelong ambition learning pieces they didn't have the patience to learn when they were younger.
My suggestions for what to do once you've ended lessons are:
- Give your instrument a break rather than turn away from it completely. Anything from a month to 3 months (bear in mind the longer you leave your instrument, the rustier you become)
- Listen to music you really enjoy and see if there are easy versions of that for your instrument. You might be surprised what's out there.
- Go to concerts and live gigs. These will help maintain your enthusiasm for music at some level.
There is a saying that "one is not old until regrets take the place of dreams". Don't be a living example of that.

Development in an Imperfect World: Lessons from the Field Part 1
In my five years at the Bank, I have learnt a number of lessons. One of the most important is that even though each practitioner brings specialist knowledge, that knowledge must be applied from an overall development perspective, for we're trying to achieve development in imperfect settings where the gap between the ideal and the reality, between principles and practice, is often wide.
Let me spell out some of these lessons:
1. Anticipate issues but be ready for surprises
Development doesn't take place by complete fluke nor is it a sure-shot thing that the efforts will succeed. While it is important to plan and plan well, things seldom happen as planned. It is seldom a smooth affair. While an intervention may have been designed keeping the context in mind, the context itself keeps evolving continually. So, it's best to anticipate how things may evolve and prepare for it, but be ready for surprises as well.

EMEA President at HTC, Florian Seiche is reported to be joining Nokia as head of European sales from June 15th, according to Bloomberg. Seiche has been at HTC since 2005, prior to which he held the role of Director of Devices at Orange. The Bloomberg report suggests that Nokia's own EMEA head Shiv Shivakumar is leaving the company and will be replaced by the VP of smart devices for the Americas, Arto Nummela.
While Nokia has recently returned to profitability, both the Finnish company and HTC are still in the midst of rather difficult times. The mobile phone market is a competitive one, which Samsung and Apple are governing comfortably. What Seiche bring to the table for Nokia is yet to be seen, but since Nokia has already kicked off a strong push in Europe with Windows Phone, we'll look forward to more of the same.

Olivers Pets & Plants
Olivers Pets & Plants are a well-established supplier of feed for livestock, having supplied the South Australian racing industry for many years.
Whilst this is an important part of our business, an equally important part that we want to develop further is our day-to-day consumer business in pets and plants.
We have a well-established, loyal client base that we provide with:
• Pets and supplies
• Gardening supplies
• Fodder
• Live stock
Due to the large variety of products we sell, we also have a bit of a "general store" feel to our premises. This is good and bad… if it's anything pet or plant related, you'll get it at Olivers.
It has also, unfortunately, made the appearance of the store a bit "haphazard". So we are building new premises.
We are very much a people-based business and have a well-established, loyal customer base of professional livestock (horse) breeders.
We also have many family-based customers– i.e. Mum & Dad come in for some plants for their garden and the kids wander off to the pet section and, often, leave with a new family member. This is the target market we are hoping to further develop.
We are very much a "city"-based "country" business. The type of service we provide and the goods we sell are "country" type goods and services but it extends beyond this.
We have a country-type mentality… the caring aspect that country people are renowned for but city people don't to have the time for.
We have been operating from our premises for many years but are planning and building a brand new store that will be modern and functional - but not impersonal!
We are taking this opportunity to re-invent our brand image… to portray a professional, expert image but still with the warmth and humanity we have worked hard to achieve.
We require a new logo that will bring us into the 21st century – but still maintain a feeling of warmth, tradition and caring.
What I want...
• The new logo must be modern, but not too "edgy"… we want to portray "tradition" but not appear old-fashioned
• The logo should be extendible to the many sections of our store… i.e. we want to be able to create department banners (e.g. "Pets", "Plants", Pet supplies", etc) that incorporate or reflects the new logo (please see also the "rainbow" comment in what I don't want)
• Whilst a "coat of arms" approach may, on the surface of it, appear a bit old-fashioned I think it may be possible to do a modern "coat of arms" type logo. I'm not saying it has to be this but I'd certainly like to explore the possibilities
• We would like to see a logo that incorporates icons to visually portray pets and plants but will still work without the iconic elements (i.e. type only) – please illustrate both versions.
What I don't want
• Anything tricky or gimmicky (especially complicated graphics that won't work at small sizes)
• Whilst "rainbow" colour coding for the department banners is probably quite efficient and functional, we think it has been done to death and would prefer to stay away from it
• Drab, dull colours (or pastels)
• No clip art please

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian banks and telecom providers are scrambling to introduce smartphone digital "wallets," but the dream of completely abandoning the traditional billfold in favor of a smartphone is likely several years away, according to speakers at an e-commerce conference in Toronto on Tuesday.
Digital wallets will allow consumers to make cash and credit card transactions using their smartphones by swiping the phone past a sensor and then entering a PIN number to complete the payment.
Apple Inc's decision to not embed chips in its new iPhone 5 that would have allowed the phone to communicate with retail payment devices was worrisome to industry players presenting at the conference, but they said it was just one of many barriers to full acceptance of the payments technology.
Apple surprised many by not including the Near Field chips in its latest version of the iPhone. The company said it decided to not include the technology because it was not clear the technology was the proper solution for contactless payments.
Also influencing the adoption of the digital wallet is a slow take-up of payment technology by retailers, questions about which technology will become dominant in the industry, and the time it will take for banks and telecom providers to hammer out the deals necessary for consumers to be able to say goodbye to cash in their pockets.
"Mass adoption will happen when every bank in Canada and every single mobile network operator have an agreement on secure (access)," Derek Colfer, business leader of global mobile product innovation at Visa Canada, said.
"That means every large financial institution, that means every small financial institution."
Canada's financial services landscape is dominated by six large banks, but hundreds of smaller foreign and domestic lenders and credit unions also offer payment products.
The country, however, is considered an ideal test-case for the mobile wallet technology, with high smartphone penetration, a tendency to upgrade those phones frequently, and widespread use of systems such as Interac, a debit payment network owned by a group of Canadian financial institutions.
Allen Wright, vice-president of product and service management at Interac, agreed that "ubiquitous" integration will take time, and said the onus will be on providers to come up with products that will lure customers over to the new technology.
"I think that the notion that the consumer is looking for a different way to pay is a bit of a flawed logic," he said.
Canadian banks have already begun jostling for position in the nascent market.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is in an "advanced field test" of a digital wallet it is developing with telecom company Rogers Communications, and plans to launch it this year, said Todd Roberts, a senior vice-president of card products at Canada's fifth largest bank.
Bank of Nova Scotia plans to have a platform out next year, the bank's head of emerging payments, Heather MacMillan said. Royal Bank of Canada, which was not represented at the conference, has said it expects to launch a wallet next month.
The conference, called Mobile Money Canada 2012, was organized by mobile financial services consulting firm DonRiver Inc.

Entrepreneurial Efforts on Displayby Richard Paige • March 26, 2014 Share:
The entrepreneurial spirit will be front and center this weekend at Wabash College during the Fourth Annual Entrepreneur Summit on March 29.
The Entrepreneur Summit is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday at the Wabash College Fine Arts Center. The goal of the summit is to grow entrepreneurial energy and connections at Wabash, Crawfordsville, and the entire Central Indiana community. More than 300 students and entrepreneurs are expected.
"We created the Summit four years ago to forge a more cohesive Wabash student and alumni entrepreneurial community, in answer to burgeoning student interest levels in entrepreneurial pursuits," said Scott Crawford, director of the Schroeder Center for Career Development. "The event grew from 90 attendees the first year to 250 last year. Attendees have been a good mix of the Wabash community, students from other schools, and regional entrepreneurs."
The morning program features three keynote speakers: Greg Nance of ChaseFuture and Moneythink, an admissions consulting platform and a movement to improve the U.S economic health through financial education; Matt Hunckler of Verge, a community of Indiana technology entrepreneurs, software developers, and business investors; and Wabash alumnus David Weglarz, owner of StiIL 630, a distillery based in St. Louis.
Afternoon breakout sessions include Marty Brown '06 of Lolly Wolly Doodle, a web-based clothing store; Kevin Hitchen of Localstake, a crowdfunding platform for small businesses and real estate developers; Steve Badger '87, an Indianapolis attorney; Michael Cullen of Cross-Alliance, an organization that equips organizations and individuals with strategies to foster commitment and optimize potential; Chad Peterman '09 of BEAST Performance, a sports training facility in Indianapolis; Willie Matis '09 of Millennial Chat, a platform to facilitate dialogue between Millennials and other demographics; and Keith Veal '92 owner of Sustainable Solutions.
The Summit routinely draws attendees to campus from Chicago to Indianapolis. Last year, nearly 15 percent of those entrepreneurs present were from Montgomery County in addition to sizeable groups from many Indiana colleges.
"We were surprised to discover the level of interest in the event from non-Wabash-connected entrepreneurs as far away as Chicago," said Crawford. "It's good to see the level of interest continue to grow."
The weekend also serves as the initial meeting for the Center for Innovation, Business, and Entrepreneurship (CIBE) Advisory Board, which takes place Friday afternoon.
A grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. jump-starts the CIBE and its advisory board.
"Wabash received a $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment, which will fund a wide range of business and entrepreneurial activities," said Wabash President Gregory D. Hess. "The CIBE advisory board will imagine year-round opportunities for our students. Our reimagined Wabash Student Employment program will allow us to build partnerships with local non-profits, government agencies, and small businesses. These connections will provide mutual benefits for our students and local community."
As a part of the grant, the CIBE will be located downtown in space provided by the city of Crawfordsville and in close proximity to Montgomery County Economic Development, and will provide the co-working space, creativity lab, and resources for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to collaborate, work, learn, and teach together. It will be a venue for the generation, development, and execution of bold ideas by all members of the community; for professional development linking liberal arts to entrepreneurial practice; and for actively building and leveraging networks of collaborative partners, leaders, and advisors.
Joining the College in July 2013, Hess' goal has been to expand the College's academic footprint by creating academic-based initiatives to broaden the out-of-class research and collaborative opportunities for students.
"The CIBE will consider what Wabash now offers its students who have interest in business and entrepreneurship; the opportunities provided by the Lilly grant; how we might create a business plan to sustain the work of the CIBE after the grant has expired; and how we can leverage our powerful alumni body to strengthen our co-curricular offerings," Hess continued.
The CIBE advisory board includes seven Wabash alumni who have proven to be leaders in business and entrepreneurship: David Bowen '99, CEO of MarketMaker4; Aman Brar '99, President of Apparatus; David Broecker '83, Founder, Legacy Biosciences; Jim Dreher '85, Founder and Managing Partner, Option 3; Cory Olson '85, President, LNR Properties; and Joe Trebley '01, Head of Startup and Promotion, Indiana University Research & Technology Corp. Roland Morin '91, Managing Partner/Owner, Innovate Consulting Group, serves as the board's Consulting Director.
Ex Officio members include James Jeffries, assistant director of Schroeder Center for Career Development; Betsy Knott, director of Business Immersion and Leadership programs; Michael Raters, Dean of Students; and Hess.

The long ride is over!
Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke and Republican Rep. Will Hurd arrived safely in Washington, D.C. just before 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The two-day bipartisan road trip made headlines across the country.
The two Texas congressmen rented a Chevrolet Impala in San Antonio on Tuesday after attending a veterans' town hall together and Hurd's flight was canceled due to bad weather in the Northeast. O'Rourke proposed driving the long distance and Hurd agreed, after some consideration, "to show what unites us and not just talk about what divides us."
With viewers typing questions at them on Periscope and then Facebook Live, topics have ranged from veterans programs to the Republican health care bill, from the notion of microwave surveillance to fast-food condiments. They also discussed their favorite buddy cop movie.
The congressmen spoke with our sister station CBS4 live Wednesday at noon. O'Rourke and Hurd talked about the tight deadline, their budding bromance and the importance of bipartisanship.
The pair made it with plenty of time before the votes took place. Beto said they may have to use Hurd's experience as a former CIA officer to navigate traffic in Washington, D.C.
During the Q&A, CEO and founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, even joined the livestream and even commented on their trip.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 27, 2012) - Hana Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Hana") (TSX VENTURE:HMG)(FRANKFURT:4LH)(BOTSWANA:HANA) announces that at a special meeting (the "Meeting") held today, its shareholders approved the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving the Company, Cupric Canyon Capital LP ("Cupric") and Cuprous Capital Ltd. ("Cuprous"), whereby Cupric has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Hana (the "Shares") not owned by Cupric for C$0.82 per Share in cash.
The special resolution approving the Arrangement was approved by more than two-thirds of the votes cast by Hana shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting as well as two-thirds of the votes cast by Hana shareholders and optionholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting as a single class. A resolution approving the Arrangement was also passed by a majority of the minority shareholders of the Company. The hearing for the final order to approve the Arrangement is currently scheduled to take place on or about January 7, 2013. The closing of the Arrangement remains subject to the granting of the final order by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions of the Arrangement and the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). The completion of the Arrangement is expected to occur in January 2013, at which time the Shares will be de-listed from both the TSX-V and the Botswana Stock Exchange.
Further information regarding the Meeting and the proposed Arrangement are contained in the Company's November 16, 2012 information circular that has been filed under the corporate profile of Hana on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.

Fishing report for Northeast Louisiana:
CANEY LAKE — The crappie have yet to move real deep and most are being caught around brush along the edges of the deeper water on jigs and shiners. Bass and yellow bass are in deep water with best catches made bouncing jigging spoons or tail spinners off the bottom in 25-35 foot water. CHENIERE LAKE — The lake is up after the rains and best bass fishing is in the current around the spillway on jigs. Crappie are in deep water with Puckett Lake producing some nice catches on shiners and jigs. LAKE CLAIBORNE — The crappie bite has apparently kicked in out from the dam and in the channels fishing shiners or jigs deep where graphs show the shad are located. Bass fishing are fair around the deeper piers on jigs and Brush Hogs. Catfishing is fair on shiners and cold worms. LAKE D'ARBONNE — The spillway is closed and water is starting to rise. Look for the crappie fishing to be best along the channel edges around brush in 12-18 foot water. The Bobby Garland Baby shad, Cajun Cricket and Electric Chicken are working on these fish. The Highway 2 bridge is attracting lots of attention from crappie fishermen this week. Bass are in the creeks and some are being caught on jigs and Rat-L-Traps fished with the current around trees and creek bends. Catfish are biting off the banks along Highway 2. OUACHITA RIVER — The river is slowly rising and fishing is improving. Crappie are in the bayou in the tops and in the river around back eddies and hitting shiners or jigs. A good many Kentucky bass are being caught in the tops on the river while catfish are being caught tight-lining cold worms. LAKE POVERTY POINT — Catfish are biting cut shad and cold worms fished off the back deck at the marina. Crappie fishing has been better around the boat slips afternoons and nights as windy conditions are keeping fishermen away from the south end. Bobby Garland Blue thunder, Monkey Milk and Threadfin shad jigs are working best. No report on bass. LAKE ST. JOHN — The water is rising and fishing is improving for crappie, bass and hybrid stripers. Catfish are slow. LAKE YUCATAN — Rising water signals improved fishing conditions in a few days. Not many fishermen have been out over the holidays.

Follow the Data: How Astronomers Use and Reuse Data
Ashley Sands, Christine L. Borgman, Laura Wynholds and Sharon Traweek
Monday, 6:30pm
Libraries are collecting many types of materials other than traditional, formal publications. Many research libraries have begun to curate, preserve, and provide access to datasets. Our research assesses what new infrastructures, divisions of labor, knowledge, and expertise are necessary for the proper care of data. Between May 2011- February 2012, we conducted fourteen interviews employing Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data use as the focus. SDSS is a multi-faceted, multi-phased data-driven telescope project with hundreds of collaborators and thousands of users of the open data. The Follow the Data interview protocol identifies a single publication authored by each interviewee and uses it as a lens looking backward and forward to identify data uses leading into and out of the publication.
We have four preliminary findings from this research. Astronomy has three distinctive kinds of publications: traditional research articles, technical papers, and data description papers. One finding is the distinct publications reflect different practices associated with data citation in astronomy. Whether or not these practices scale has implications for information scientists working on establishing data citation standards. Second, individual research articles may draw upon multiple distinct datasets including: catalogs, source lists, data releases, value-added catalogs, cross-match catalogs, simulation outputs, data papers, technical papers, as well as data contained within science papers. A third finding is there are multiple ways astronomers locate and obtain data for use, including both formal and informal methods. Fourth, personal contact still ranks as an important method for obtaining data despite open technologies. ASIS&T members should understand the changing science and the more nuanced ways information retrieval and data curation need to be considered. Our continued research into large sky surveys, particularly the SDSS data practices, will be used to inform the design of open data projects and digital libraries.

As Tony Travis said, it is appropriate for a lot of workloads - and I have supported it in a bioinformatics role at the Natural History Museum. But you're right to go with something on a 2.6 kernel! You don't mention what network type you are going to use to connect the computers in the cluster? Most probably the onboard gigabit ethernet. If your nodes do not have onboard gigabit, give some thought to buying Intel e1000 cards as an add-on. Also give some thought to the IP network numbering before you start to build the cluster. I realise this is likely to be a testbed system, but it is worth getting a plan for networking together beforehand. It is 'traditional' to use one of the private address ranges to test machines like this.

Students from Barry's Minority Association of Pre-health Students (MAPS) joined volunteers from the University of Miami, Nova Southeastern University, Florida International University and St. Thomas University serving as facilitators at the 4th Annual Brain Fair for Kids at the Miami Science Museum on Saturday, March 23.
The free all-day event was organized by the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. MAPS students volunteered at the neuron anatomy exhibit helping children of all ages learn about the structure and function of brain cells (neurons) by making models out of play dough, beads, and pipe cleaners. As part of the event, children (and their parents) also had the opportunity to learn about brain/spinal cord injury prevention, bike safety (including free bike helmets), and participate in additional hands-on learning opportunities such as sensory tests (visual, hearing), and electrical recordings from neurons.
Last year's event, in which the students from MAPS also participated, hosted more than 2,000 visitors to the exhibits, more than 1,000 of whom were children – attendance at this year's event was even higher.
MAPS is a multicultural student organization with members from undergraduate (biology, chemistry, nursing) and graduate (BMS) programs at Barry. For more information about this organization, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com and/or visit: BarryMAPS.blogspot.com.

PHILADELPHIA — Matt Bendik, the boyfriend of "Glee" star Becca Tobin, has been found dead in a Philadelphia hotel room.
Police say they were called to the Hotel Monaco just after 1 p.m. Thursday and that a man was pronounced dead minutes later.
The city medical examiner's office confirmed Bendik's identity and will determine the cause and manner of death. There were no signs of foul play.
Tobin's manager, Ricky Rollins of Schumacher Management, also confirmed Bendik's death and says that "with respect to both the Bendik and Tobin families, there is no comment at this time."
Almost a year ago, "Glee" star Cory Monteith died of an accidental alcohol and drug overdose in a Canadian hotel. Tobin joined the cast of the show cast in 2012.
