Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) have launched a project to automate the process of manufacturing rotor blades wind turbines in an effort to reduce production costs by more than 10 percent.
Using an $8 million euro (about $11 million US) investment from German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Reactor Safety, scientists at the German research facility will work alongside research partners to analyze the current, mainly manual process of producing wind-turbine blades through the BladeMaker project to assess the potential for automation, Florian Sayer, department chief of Fraunhofer IWES' rotor blade competence center, told Design News.
"It is obvious at the moment that it is a very labor-intensive project, and reducing labor efforts by automated technology could reduce the cost," he said. "It is also very challenging to actually develop such systems and processes."
Because the production of the rotor is about 25 percent of the entire production of a wind turbine, researchers think that by cutting the cost of this process, they can significantly cut the entire production cost of turbines themselves. Sayer said a 10 percent reduction in the manufacturing cost represents about 10,000 euros (about $13,000 US) in savings per blade.
Wind turbines increasingly are being used as a
green energy source, and Germany is one of the leading countries to invest in the technology. The US and other countries in Europe -- including France, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom -- also are adoption leaders.
The current method for rotor-blade production is by a vacuum-infusion process in which two molds -- one each of each half of the blade -- are reinforced with fiberglass or carbon-fiber matting. Currently, workers do this process nearly entirely by hand, generating a vacuum and injecting resin to bond the mats. Once hardened, another manual process blends the two halves of the blade, which is then varnished.
One blade usually takes about a day to manufacture, Sayer said, but it's more cost cutting than a reduction in the time it takes to build a rotor that the BladeMaker project aims to achieve. "Reducing cycle times is always an issue, but in the end it's the cost we want to reduce," he said.
As part of the project, Fraunhofer will develop a lab to act as a proving ground for automation technologies and processes that could be viable in the production of rotor blades. This has been one stumbling block to an investment in automation by blade manufacturers, Sayer told us. "Blade manufacturers are not investing in automation because they need to make 100 percent sure that the systems actually work."
Project partners will analyze and assess a number of processes and factors in the manufacturing process -- including fiber placements, mold creation, the use of new materials, and the overall design of the blades -- to see how they can be adapted or, if necessary, adapted to an automation process, Sayer said.
Industry partners in the project include rotor manufacturers SINOI and REPower Systems AG, automation provider Siemens AG, and the University of Bremen, among 13 others. The project will conclude its work at the end of September 2017.

Sentenced to be dead decades ago, the mainframe is still alive. Big business wouldn't be possible without the dinosaurs of information technology. At the backend of system networks processing financial transactions, stock exchange orders or flight reservations you will find often mainframes even today. You don't see or feel them, but they are still there -- hidden behind modern web interfaces or sheltered from direct user interactions by "front-end" servers running Unix or Windows. Operating systems such as z/OS, z/TPF, OS2200, OpenVMS and BS2000/OSD are the dinosaurs of information technology, but in contrast to their biological pendants they are still participating in evolution in the hidden background of our digital life.
Twenty years of postulating mainframe's death are leaving their marks. The mainframe field is suffering from skill shortages. Statistics tell us that the typical mainframe expert is in his late 40s or early 50s. Young professionals don't see a career in the dead-end "mainframe". So youngsters rarely seen in mainframe departments. Last but not least people knowing both worlds -- modern, "state of the art" systems like Unix and Windows as well as legacy systems -- are hardly found. Due to this lack of knowledge to many of us the field of mainframes seems to be a mythical secret science with its own magical wording. In our view it is left in a fog of smattering and half knowledge. In this scaring environment things are taken as they are without questioning.
It is no wonder that in many project meetings you can hear statements such as "the only way to access a mainframe is by TELNET and FTP" or "we can transfer the data only unencrypted by FTP because the mainframe doesn't understand SFTP". The words are still echoed by the walls of the conference room, the heads have started already nodding. The mainframe is yet understood as a big old box stuck on the technical level of the 1960s/1970s -- but that's wrong! The mainframe is a dinosaur but it is still alive and evolving. According to Darwin to survive in evolution means fitting well into a modern, changing environment. And the mainframe fits well into a world made of cryptography and certificates driven by FTPS and SFTP.
z/OS Basics
Because z/OS is dominating the mainframe sector by a market share of over 90 percent, I will concentrate on z/OS in this article. The mentioned principles apply, more or less, to other contemporary mainframe and mid-range systems, too. Besides connecting Big Iron by application or middleware specific connectors such as for CICS, IMS, MQ or DB2 it is common to use FTP to transfer data for scheduled batch processing. I will focus on FTP transfers and show substitutes for this insecure protocol.
z/OS can be split into three parts or operational environments:
- Interactive computing using the Time Sharing Option (TSO)
- Batch processing using the Job Entry System (JES) and controlled by programs written in Job Control Language (JCL)
- UNIX System Services (USS) -- the POSIX compatible environment
TSO is a command-line environment similar to COMMAND.COM of DOS, the Unix shell or Windows' PowerShell. #1 and #2 above are the core of z/OS which is still referred to as MVS ("Multiple Virtual Storage") -- the old name when the operating system had no Unix compatible subsystem. #3 is the ticket into a more common environment. Like other legacy systems z/OS provides a POSIX and Unix compatible environment.
Because the MVS filesystem is completely different from those used in Unix environments, z/OS has to deal with two filesystems. The MVS filesystem is a flat system which doesn't support structures like directories or folders. Only inside special (partitioned organized) files similar structures are known. But these structures are not part of the MVS filesystem. They are already part of internal organization in a file.
What is called a "file" on other platforms goes by a "data set" in MVS. A data set stores data as a set of records of a defined format. Data sets need to be allocated before using. In other words, a data set has an initial defined size. To be flexible this initial size can be extended with predefined "extents". In contrast, a file on a Unix filesystem stores data as a stream of bytes. The initial size is zero and can grow as long as there is free disc space or until a quota limit is reached.
A data set's name (DSN) consists of multiple parts, separated by dots. Each of these parts is one until eight (case-insensitive) characters long and is called a "qualifier". The first one is the "high level qualifier" (HLQ). It has a special function in data management and organization of z/OS. The last one is called "low level qualifier" (LLQ). It tells in some cases something about the type of data which are stored inside the data set. It can be compared with the file name extension on Unix or Windows. Valid samples of DSNs are: SYS1.PROCLIB, USER.TOOLS.CNTL, OTTO.HELLOW.COB.
Unix filesystems which are used by USS are very different from the MVS filesystem. They are hierarchical organized by levels of directories which holds the files. The directory levels are separated by slashes. The file and directory names are case-sensitive. All this is incompatible with MVS's idea of data sets. So z/OS banns whole USS filesystems in special data sets. These data sets are presented to USS as they were discs or (logical) volumes. It is a similar principle like hard disc images in VMware, Virtual Box and other emulator environments. There are two types of UNIX filesystems in USS: Hierarchical Filesystem (HFS) and The Z Filesystem (ZFS). ZFS is simply the newer one and has more features.
Processes are called "address spaces" in MVS. Many MVS address spaces today put one leg into USS to be operational in the MVS and the Unix world. Samples of such programs are WebSphere AS and the z/OS Communication Server which provides FTP and TELNET.
Additional software which is mentioned in this article is RACF and ISPF. RACF is an acronym for "Resource Access Control Facility". It is the subsystem which takes care about security and access rights. RACF provides authentication and authorization data, e. g. the user and group database as well as auditing functionality. Alternatively to IBMs RACF you can find primarily ACF2 and TopSecret by CA. We will focus here on RACF only.
ISPF stands for "Interactive System Productivity Facility". This program provides a full screen editor and a user interface organized in "panels". A panel can be understood as a screen with menus and dialogs or a rudimentary kind of window. ISPF provides panels to hide TSO commands and run them in background. Many products and software suites -- including RACF -- use ISPF to provide a user friendly interface. Hence ISPF has gained a role like X Window for Unix and OpenVMS and as Windows was it for DOS long time ago.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh said in a recorded interview aired Monday night that he will leave office within 90 days of an agreement by the regional economic bloc the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
In the France24 interview, Mr. Saleh said that when the structure of a power transfer is settled and elections happen, he would leave, CNN reports. "I know the difficulties, the negatives, the positives, I will not hang onto power," said Yemen's president of 33 years. "Whoever hangs onto power I think is crazy."
However, there is deep skepticism in the West that Saleh is sincere, since he has reneged on similar promises repeatedly since Yemen's antigovernment uprising began in February. The United States, United Nations, and other international powers have urged him to step down for months to no avail. Now, with security and humanitarian conditions dramatically worse, Western leaders are reportedly considering sanctions against him and his relatives, a number of whom have powerful positions in his regime.
The UN envoy to Yemen, Jamal Benomar, arrived in Sanaa this week to push for a transfer of power according to the terms laid out in a US-backed plan crafted by the GCC, the Associated Press reports.
In the chaotic months since the uprising began, Yemen's security has collapsed. Pacified tribes and local and Al Qaeda-linked militants have taken up arms throughout the country, the Associated Press reports. Militants have taken over sections of cities in the south, currently holding swathes of the city of Zinjibar, and antigovernment tribesmen have taken up positions in the northern part of the country.
Saleh critics say that the president has intentionally allowed security to deteriorate to shore up his argument that he is the only one who can control Yemen.
"Saleh has used war and chaos to suppress the protests. He is trying to say that his presence is the only way for Yemen's stability and so he allowed al-Qaida and fighters to run free in southern Yemen," said Al-Galil Waddah, a spokesman for the Yemen Observatory for Human Rights, according to AP.
The months of unrest have also created the risk of a humanitarian crisis. Vice President Abdu Rabu Mansour warned Saturday that a "hunger revolution" was looming, Xinhua reports. According to a report from Al Arabiya, earlier this year Yemen was the fourth lowest country in the Arab world on the UN human development index – and that was before the uprising began, disrupting access to water, food, and electricity. Almost half of Yemenis live below the poverty line, about a third don't get three meals a day, and more than a third are unemployed.
… Relief supplies from the international community are not guaranteed to reach civilians, the looming humanitarian crisis is largely ignored by officials as the political situation take the spotlight on policy. Many areas remain inaccessible to aid organizations because of running battles. …
Persisting poverty, shortages of fuel, rising prices of food and water, and breakdown of public services have surfaced in various guises across the country over the last nine months. … The prevailing political crisis has indeed led to an economic burden at large ─ the currency has crashed, and many well established businesses have shut off their operations, while others have raised their prices due to the shortage of goods. On the other hand, hospitals can't operate at full capacity, as patients with intensive healthcare requirements cannot be admitted to hospitals due to electricity power cuts.
Add to this the fact that the government has been forced to import almost entirely its fuel from neighboring countries, due to oil shortages after an antigovernment blew up oil pipeline in March.
In the absence of cooperation from Saleh, Western countries are considering sanctions on Saleh and his son Ahmed, who leads the Republican Guard, according to an unnamed diplomat interviewed by Agence France-Presse. The sanctions are intended to pressure them into agreeing to a peaceful solution.
In a piece for Foreign Policy, Jeb Boone, a freelance journalist in Sanaa until earlier this year, argued for the international community to freeze Saleh's assets. The international community's delay in exerting pressure on Saleh is "directly contributing to prolonging conflicts in Yemen's rural areas," writes Boone.
To stop further economic and political deterioration as well as reinstituting stability across the country, the international pressure on Saleh will have to increase. Freezing his assets is a good place to start, as many Yemeni protesters have harped on since February, but it may take much more. Members of his family are still deeply entrenched in positions of power in the military and other branches of the government. For a solution to be found, international pressure must also be exerted on them to relinquish their positions of power as well.

What's this i hear you cry…. well, if you take the land between Lubbock, Alpine and Albuquerque in New Mexico (which forms a triangle), this covers canyon and desert terrain. This area also has probably 6 of the most important UFO events; and it is also, not to far from Stephenville, to the East.
Within this area, we have the 1947 Roswell incident, a whole series of car stoppages near Levelland, Texas (1957- see here and here for more details), and a police officer in 1964, who witnessed an object land with entities, in New Mexico at Socorro (see here for details).
The amount of UFO occurrances between 1947-1952 in this area, meant the government expressed grave concern, as too what was going on.
However, alot of scientific research is/was done in this area (early atomic bomb-tests and missile sites for example are all here).
Dr Lincoln La Paz (meteor expert- see here for more), spent many a year, researching green fireballs, that behaved unlike meteors- these incidents happened frquently in the 1940's-1950's.
Photo (above) taken around 1.30pm (16th october,1957) whilst driving on Highway 54 (south of Alamogordo, New Mexico); photo taken by Ella Fortune. It was near the Holloman Air Force Base, and close to the site of the first atomic explosion (in 1945). There is much debate as to what this is…. some say it is a lenticular cloud (although this is disputed, due to the fact, that it reflects too much light to be a cloud), others a balloon; however, as far as i'm aware, its origin has not been established. The UFO was hovering motionless.
Several days later, near Levelland, a whole series of sightings took place….there were car stoppages (2nd and 3rd november 1957), also similar occurrances around Sacramento Mountains.
At Orogrande, an engineer, at 1pm on 4th november (1957), lost engine/radio/lights response on his car….this happened to others on the same road, as an oval shaped UFO, was seen. However, the engineer, also endured waves of heat…..later that day, alot of his body became red/itchy.
7th november (1957), not far from above (ie in the vacinity), 2 people in their car at 9.20am, saw a UFO, and immediately the speedometer was affected.
In 1951 (august 31st), at Lubbock, there was a photo taken of a V-shaped formation of lights. However, we now know these 'lights' were in fact birds (see here for more details)!
In 1952, the lights returned, and a professor, Dr Ducker, went to great lenghts to establish that they were birds, with a whole series of experiments. However, he also came to the conclusion, that not all were birds, and some were unknown.
This is just a taster, of the many UFOand IFO activities within/around this area….. also now, with the Stephenville ufo sightings just outside of this area to the East.
See the site http://www.nicap.org/ for many more ufo sightings, many described in detail, and an excellent site for research.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons plan to ride the momentum of a win over Kennesaw State into this weekend's Atlantic Sun matches.
The Lady Bisons, 7-5 overall, 1-1 in the conference, will face USC Upstate, 1-13, 0-2 in the A-Sun Friday at 1 p.m. at Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center. The men's teams play at 9 a.m.
Saturday the Lady Bisons face ETSU at 2 p.m. The men play at 10 a.m.
"We are looking to continue to build on doubles," Lady Bisons coach Jamie Aid said. "This is our first conference match at home and we are excited to compete.
"Our girls have a good amount of confidence after winning against KSU 5-2. We want to make sure we maintain our energy levels and fight as a team and not as individuals."
The Lady Bisons started the season strong and have stressed the need to finish every play and every match.
Aid thinks the team's mission trip to Rescue Atlanta this past weekend made a close team even closer.
"If we can continue to play for something bigger than ourselves, we will be successful," Aid said. "This week our team really grew together on the mission trip."
"Our coaches and players have a great amount of trust in our team. We love each other and plan to fight hard."

Us Open : Tennis-Open-Former champion Safin falls to Robredo0 comments Posted by Just Tennis at 9:29 PM
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Former champion Marat Safin traded booming groundstrokes with Tommy Robredo for three sets before fading to a 4-6 7-6 6-4 6-0 defeat by the 15th-seeded Spaniard on Friday in the second round of the U.S. Open.
"Sometimes you have a good day, sometimes you have a bad day," the 2000 champion said. "Today I was struggling."
Twice the Louis Armstrong Stadium match was interrupted in the second set by rain and Safin squandered opportunities to seize the advantage.
Leading 3-2 in the second-set tiebreaker he lost five of the last six points as 15th-seed Robredo won it 7-4 to level the match.
"If I would have won the second set, I should have won the match probably," said the former world number one who also triumphed at the 2005 Australian Open before tumbling down the rankings to his current number 44.
Safin, 28, battled the Spaniard on serve in the third set before errors began to seep into his game and Robredo broke him in the 10th game for a two sets to one lead.
That seemed to take the life out of Safin, who went down meekly in a 24-minute fourth set."The rain was going on and off and I couldn't get into the game. I missed a few points in the tiebreak," he said.
"The third set was very close and the fourth set I lost it completely. It just slipped away and that's it," said the fiery Russian, who in moments of frustration slammed his racket to the ground and smashed balls against the back curtain.
"Too much frustration in the second and third set."
Safin failed to successfully follow up his spirited run at Wimbledon, where he reached the semi-finals before falling to Roger Federer.
"One good result throughout the year, I don't think you're hoping for something bigger," Safin said about not carrying any expectations into Flushing Meadows.
Instead, Safin found himself pushed around the court by the pin-point topspin forehands and cut backhands from Robredo, who advanced to a third-round match against 19th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.
The demoralised Russian said he would not stick around in New York to cheer for his sister Dinara Safina, who could claim the world number one ranking with an Open triumph.
"No I'm going home. I've had enough already," said Safin. "I've been here for too long. I need to go home."

This guide from Syngenta Crop Protection highlights the water quality protection requirements that apply to all products containing atrazine. These requirements are printed on the product labels.
Application rates
The total amount of atrazine applied may not exceed 2.0 lbs. of active ingredient (a.i.) in a single pre- or postemerge application or 2.5 lbs. (pre- and postemergence combined) of a.i. per acre per calendar year.
Soil application prior to crop emergence
On Highly Erodible Soils (as defined by the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
- Apply a maximum of 2.0 lbs. of atrazine a.i. per acre as a broadcast spray on fields where 30% or more of the soil is covered with plant residue at planting; or
- Apply a maximum of 1.6 lbs. of atrazine a.i. per acre on fields where less than 30% of the soil is covered with plant residue at planting.
On Non-Highly Erodible Soils
- Apply a maximum of 2.0 lbs. of atrazine a.i. per acre to all soils that are not highly erodible.
Postemergence applications
- If no atrazine was applied prior to crop emergence, use a maximum postemergence rate of 2.0 lbs. of atrazine a.i. per acre.
- If a preemergence application was made in the same calendar year, the combined pre- and postemergence applications may not exceed 2.5 lbs. of atrazine a.i. per acre.
State/local requirements
Where state/local atrazine use requirements (including lower maximum rates and/or greater setback distances) differ from the label, you must follow the more protective requirements. Some states may limit application rates within specific geographical areas. Consult your lead pesticide control agency for more information. It is a violation of the atrazine label to deviate from state use regulations.
Atrazine Watershed Information Center (AWIC)
AWIC is a tool designed to provide information on specific watershed areas identified by EPA that are subject to atrazine prohibition. All labels for products containing atrazine require the AWIC to be consulted prior to atrazine use. Call 866/365-3014, or visit www.atrazine-watershed.info.

We have animal sanctuaries, and orphanages that is apart from the game parks and reserves
That looks like a brown bear species. Brown bears have a bit of a dip between their forehead and the bridge of their nose. While some so-called black bears are brown, they will not have that dip. The junction of their forehead and bridge of their nose will be a smooth gentle arc.
Also, it seems rather large for a black bear. A large black bear would be only about 2/3 that big.
It seems very unlikely to be any sort of Asian bear and Africa's only modern bear, the Atlas brown bear, has been extinct for a while now.
Poor little fucker, huh? I think it wants a conversation.
Unseen, you know a lot about bears.
@Simon Paynton - So true.
Fun! Yes, it's a bit interesting. In other parts of the world, we go to the zoo primarily to see the big game. African animals. Elephants, giraffes, rhinos, cape buffalo, etc. though Asia (e.g., Siberian tigers, snow leopards, Indian elephants) gets a fair amount of attention in North American zoos as well. It stands to reason, of course that an African zoo or reserve might have stuff from here.
It was a bit odd for me to go to the San Diego zoo and see one rather pathetic-looking pronghorn "antelope" (it's not technically an antelope though almost everyone here calls them that) in captivity; it didn't make much sense to me at first to put one in a zoo (and it probably really needed company); they are quite common where I live. Last time I wrote about them here on T|A, in fact, I drove off to work less than an hour later and saw some. Pronghorn, by the way, are fantastic long distance runners; there used to be cheetahs in North America so they had to be. I suspect they can do a mile faster than any other land animal on earth (cheetahs are faster but only for a short time, they are sprinters).
(Oh wait, that was over 10,000 years ago supposedly, and the Earth isn't that old, so clearly God just made Pronghorn damned fast for no reason at all.)
The pronghorn "antelope" (because as you said it really isn't) is in fact the second fastest land animal after the cheetah. BTW, here's an odd fact most people don't know: While the cheetah is the fastest animal on land, the lion is still in the Top 10. This Wikipedia list gives the top speeds of the fastest animals on earth. If you take off the #2 in the list—a bat, which is only fast when it's flying and should be grouped with birds in a flying animals group—the lion is still #6.
Now cats of all sizes are great sprinters but poor marathoners. A cat who is near a tree and is being chased by a dog will be up the tree in a flash. If he's stuck in the middle of a large field, he may be toast.
Dogs and horses are wildly different critters, but they have one thing in common: great lung capacity which gives them the ability to run at a moderate pace pretty much all day long if they need to and to sprint far longer than any cat.
@Unseen, and then we have humans, the best long distance runners of all...slow as molasses, but we can run almost anything down, given the days it may take. And by then the kill is so easy, even we can do it.
@RobertPiano - Which means we are the mammalian komodo dragons who wound their prey and then follow it around and wait for it to be too weak to run away or defend itself.
I think it's funny how many of us seem to have vast stores of information like this. I have been accused of having a lot of useless information stuck in my head. It may seem useless to know a lot of things, but in many ways the knowledge is always relevant when looking a the bigger picture, and how things relate.
People look at me like I have two heads when I tell them why the orchids on their bureau have a lever on the flower, or that the red eft is the land phase of the spotted newt. That's one reason why I appreciate you folks so much - I feel like I am among kindred spirits - people who just seem to want to know whatever they can about a wide variety of things.
@Diane - I had a friend who used to marvel at the vast array of odd facts I carry around in my head (examples: dogs can see 3 times better at night than humans, cats 6 times; granite is radioactive and emits radiation and radon gas at sometimes alarmingly high levels; a sperm whale's blowhole is off-center). She asked me how I could explain knowing all these fact(oid)s and I said, "Well, Linda, while you're watching your sitcoms I'm watching the channels that run science and nature documentaries."

The African American HIV University: Breaking Myths About HIV
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African Americans now account for nearly half of all new AIDS cases in the U.S., although they make up 12 percent of the population. HIV-related disease is the leading cause of death for African American males aged 18 to 44, and the second most frequent cause for African American women in that same age group. More than half of all women and children with AIDS in the U.S. are African American.
As a response to this situation, the African American AIDS Policy Training Institute (AAAPTI) near downtown Los Angeles came into being in 1999 as an AIDS "think tank" created by and for African Americans. Its mission is threefold: to engage a broad spectrum of African-American organizations in the fight against AIDS, to improve access to HIV treatment for African Americans, and to improve the quality of life for black people with AIDS. AAAPTI sponsors a variety of programs with these goals in mind, including town hall meetings, the Indaba multimedia AIDS training center, continuing education for HIV health-care providers in correctional facilities, and the Simon Nkoli Exchange/Mentorship Program: a Peace Corps-like initiative that assists non-governmental organizations in Africa. Chief among AAAPTI's programs is the African American HIV University (AAHU), which focuses on training treatment advocates to educate African Americans about AIDS. A two-year fellowship program, AAHU begins with an intensive 30-day, six-day-per-week AIDS Treatment College in Los Angeles, followed by four internships completed in the fellows' different home cities, with updates in Los Angeles every six months. Interns are expected to work one-on-one with clients, as well as recruit and train others in HIV treatment and prevention.
The venues for such community-based training ranges from recovery houses, to correctional facilities, to faith-based organizations, to the more usual AIDS service agencies and medical facilities. Fellows become part of the Black Treatment Advocacy Network (BTAN), which aims to build relationships between AIDS treatment advocates and African American organizations at both the local and national levels.
William Strain, director of AAHU, recently shared some of the organization's strategies for AIDS treatment advocacy.
|(Photo by Marta Fox)
What is the primary goal of the African American HIV University?
The African American HIV University is designed to increase the number of African American treatment advocates by providing training and support to people who work or volunteer in HIV and who are not linked with more traditional educational mechanisms.
What led you to become involved with AAHU?
Prior to working on this project, I coordinated a regional training program for treatment advocates at AIDS Project Los Angeles. Over the five years I worked at APLA as a treatment advocate, I rarely encountered other African Americans doing the work that I was doing. Though I often spoke to people who were very interested in becoming more involved, they just didn't know how, and there really were few opportunities.
How many have enrolled in AAHU so far?
We enrolled 41 people in the first class earlier this year. The program attracted men and women representing twenty-three cities from all over the United States. Fellows are HIV-positive, HIV-negative, gay, and straight.
Is the program exclusively for African Americans?
While the program is primarily for African Americans, we do invite non-African Americans to participate. We currently have two Latino fellows. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase access to care and education in the African American community, and we recognize that not all people who work with this population are themselves African American.
How did AAHU come into being?
AAHU is a response to an unmet need in the African American community. Through all of the years that HIV treatment advocacy has existed, there were never more than a handful of African Americans who worked at a national level with groups such as the AIDS Clinical Trials Group, the Food and Drug Administration, or independent pharmaceutical companies on issues of drug development, patient access or education. Following the state of emergency in the African American community, federal dollars were finally earmarked for such programs as AAHU.
|(Photo by Marta Fox)
Apart from lack of funding, have other factors contributed to the scarcity of programs directly addressing the needs of HIV-positive African Americans?
I don't know that lack of funding is an acceptable excuse for the scarcity of programs. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate [the severity of the situation]. When we hear about women with AIDS or babies with AIDS -- and now men who have AIDS, too -- the numbers tell us that those are primarily African American women, African American babies, and African American men. This is in large part because African Americans don't fully realize their risk for HIV infection or the importance of HIV testing [and safe sex] in reducing the progression to AIDS and possible death.
Why do you think that relatively few African Americans have been involved in HIV treatment advocacy at a national level, despite the devastating impact AIDS has had on black people worldwide?
Initially, AIDS was perceived as a problem of gay white men, and they were primarily the ones fighting for research and treatment. To this day, they are still perceived as the leaders in the treatment community -- which is a small community to begin with and can also be a very exclusive club. This, combined with the fact that treatment advocacy involves the understanding of science and medicine, can put off many people, not just people of color. AAHU will teach people the science of HIV treatment and provide them with the skills to participate effectively in government and on pharmaceutical community advisory boards. The next step will be getting them to the table.
Yet some still cling to the belief that AIDS is mainly a gay male health issue, despite overwhelming international evidence to the contrary. Does this lingering misconception have an impact on the rate of infection for other groups?
Unfortunately, the evidence to the contrary is not only [found] in the international epidemiology data. There have been numerous reports in the last year about the impact HIV has had in minority communities in the U.S., especially the African American community. Most of this information details the terrible plight of heterosexual women infected by partners who are, knowingly or unknowingly, practicing "risky behaviors." The days of HIV being primarily a gay male problem are long since over. No community can continue to believe this myth and hope to survive.
|(Photos by Marta Fox)
Are heterosexuals are engaging in risky sexual behaviors out of lack of information, or are other factors at work?
I don't believe that most people intentionally expose others to HIV. Many people remain unaware of how HIV is transmitted. I have several heterosexual friends who honestly didn't know that they were at risk for HIV infection, although they'd had herpes and other STDs. Or they didn't know that oral sex with women is not "risk-free" or that their girlfriends could get whatever STD they had from performing oral sex with them.
Some incarcerated straight and bisexual men contract HIV while engaging in unprotected homosexual sex. Upon release from prison, they return to heterosexual behavior and pass the virus to women. How widespread do you think this mode is?
Several studies document this fact. Given that African Americans are the largest ethnic group in the incarcerated population in the U.S., I'm sure that this problem is very widespread. This is probably the leading factor in the recent rise of HIV infection in African American heterosexual women.
We do currently have fellows who work directly with incarcerated populations in Michigan and New York. Other fellows routinely work with HIV-infected individuals on parole or probation who seek care once released.
What kind of response has AAHU received from the African American community as well as health-care givers and AIDS-service organizations?
I think the response has been tremendous -- from the African American community itself as well as the HIV/AIDS community in general! Health-care providers in particular are very excited about AAHU, because it specifically targets a community that has been left behind when it comes to self-advocacy and education. Also, it provides a mechanism for providing education that is not specific to sexual identity, but to culture.
What does the future hold?
My hope for the HIV University is to help the African American community as well as other people of color recognize the importance of treatment education and advocacy. We really don't have the luxury of waiting around for scientists to find a cure for HIV or a vaccine that works. People are dying because they lack the knowledge and tools to change the outcome. It doesn't have to be this way.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

This is as near as we can estimate, as some of the matter will be in different type. Hence it is impossible to make it exact.
THE PRESIDENT. What disposition does the gentleman from Wood desire to make of the report?
MR. STEVENSON of Wood. I suppose that will be a matter for the Convention. My impression is however that the report and documents had better lie on the table and be made the special order for some time. It may lead to a good deal of discussion to understand the matter properly. If some gentleman will suggest an hour I will move to lay the report and accompanying documents on the table to be printed and made the special order for tomorrow morning.
The motion was agreed to.
MR. VAN WINKLE. As chairman of the only committee making the only report before the Convention for action, I would state that I did not propose myself to call it up this morning. The legislature must meet in this room in the course of half an hour, and it does not seem worth while to go into an important matter like that and leave it in fifteen minutes. A new place, it is true, has been provided for the sitting of the legislature, but their adjournment was to this I believe, and they must meet here in order to adjourn to the new place that is provided for them. I apprehend it would not be worth while to take up that or any other business like that to occupy any considerable time.
MR. RUFFNER. The legislature proposes to meet in another building.
MR. VAN WINKLE. My impression is the legislature cannot legally meet in any other building, having adjourned to meet in the Custom House. They must meet here and may then adjourn to meet in the other building. They were called together to meet "in the Custom House, in the city of Wheeling." They cannot therefore, meet legally in any other place. They can meet here and in five minutes adjourn to the other place; but here is the place of meeting if I understand it. I move therefore that we adjourn, but will withdraw it if any gentleman has anything to offer. I have understood they proposed meeting at 12 o'clock.
MR. PARKER. I have a communication to be referred.
He presented the following:
WHEREAS, It has now become practically demonstrated, that virtue and general intelligence among the people, including some knowledge of the military art, is the only sure foundation on which Republican governments can rest, therefore
RESOLVED, That it shall be among the first duties of the general assembly, to make the amplest provisions the circumstances of the State will allow, for establishing and maintaining, throughout the State, a system of public free schools, with comfortable school houses, competent teachers and suitable books: the schools to be so located and conducted, as to be as accessible as the country will admit, and open to all free children; and by suitable legislation, insure the attendance of all free children of sufficient length of time at least, to learn to read and write, and the male portion the manual of arms and rudiments of the military art, together with the fundamental principles of our Federal and state governments.
That just proportion of the literary fund of the State of Virginia which this State shall be entitled to; all property accruing to the State by reason of escheats, fines, penalties, forfeitures and property derelict; all monies accruing to the State from confiscation or sequestration of the property of rebels residing within the boundaries of this State, after paying or indemnifying such loyal citizens of the State, who shall have been damaged by the present rebellion, and not otherwise indemnified; the one-half of the capitation tax to be levied and collected annually, as provided in this Constitution; and all such other monies as the general assembly shall appropriate to the purpose, to be levied on property, with all interest and income arising from the same, shall be applied to the establishment and maintenance of public free schools, to be distributed among the several counties, cities and towns, according to the number of free inhabitants in each.
Mr. Haymond moved the following:
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of this Commonwealth be requested to write to the proper authorities of the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania for copies of their constitutions and laws in relation to free schools for the use of this Convention.
MR. VAN WINKLE. I could state, sir, that the constitutions in another form can be purchased at the bookstores - the constitutions of all the states. It would be some time before they could be got here; besides it would be calling on these states to have official copies made.
MR. LAMB. There is I believe a full digest of the laws of Ohio just below here. I do not know whether there is such a one of Pennsylvania or not. They certainly can be procured some place in town.
MR. STEVENSON of Wood. I presume the only thing necessary to be got in that case would be the school law. I have two volumes of them.
MR. LAMB. The laws of Ohio?
MR. STEVENSON of Wood. There is nothing, in brief, but two very short sections on that subject, of education and I can furnish both of them to the committee. It would be almost impossible to get these things as proposed in time to be of use to the Convention, if we adjourn in the time now contemplated.
MR. SINSEL. I have a report from the board of education of Massachusetts, complete. Any member of the Convention that desires it can have the use of it.
MR. VAN WINKLE. Give it to the committee on that subject.
THE PRESIDENT. Does the gentleman from Marion desire a vote on his proposition?
MR. HAYMOND. Yes, sir.
The resolution was rejected.
MR. STEVENSON of Wood. I have a paper, Mr. President, which I desire to go to the Committee on Education, without reading:
1. The legislature shall as soon as conveniently may be, provide by law for the establishment of a system of public free schools throughout the State, in such manner as to make education as nearly universal as possible.
2. It shall cause the several cities, counties and towns, to be laid off in districts of convenient size, shall establish free schools therein, and authorize the tax payers and heads of families, to elect directors for the same, whose numbers and duties shall be defined by law.
3. The sources of increase now provided by law, for the augmentation of what is now known as the Literary Fund, shall be continued, and the permanent capital and the revenue arising therefrom, shall be used for the purposes of free school education and for no other object whatever.
4. All lands and other property, which have been, or may hereafter be given, granted or bequeathed to the State, to counties, cities, towns, colleges, academies, schools, school districts, individuals, or communities, for the purposes of education or the promotion of the arts and sciences, and the proceeds thereof shall be consecrated, held invested and applied for the subjects, and in accordance with such gifts, grants or bequests, and for no other purpose.
MR. POWELL offered the following:
WHEREAS, When the legislatures of some of the States have made laws restraining or forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquors, the courts have decided that such legislation was unconstitutional.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, That the Committee on the Legislation Department be requested to take into consideration the propriety of inserting the following, or some similar provision in the Constitution:
The legislature may make laws regulating or prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors within the limits of this Commonwealth, or in any of the counties thereof, or in any corporation within the State, when such legislation is demanded by the citizens thereof; and the legislature may submit such laws to the people of the State, county or corporation, as the case may be, for their ratification or rejection, at the ballot box.
MR. HARRISON, the following:
RESOLVED, That the duties of every office shall be discharged by the holder thereof in person.
MR. PARSONS, the following:
RESOLVED, That the Committee on Education inquire into the expediency of the banks of this State contributing from their net dividends, at least one-half of one per cent, for the purposes of education.
RESOLVED, That the Committee on Education inquire into the expediency of setting apart for the purposes of education all fines and recoveries for the use of the State, on recognizances or otherwise.
MR. BROWN of Preston, the following:
Taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the Commonwealth, and the mode of levying taxes shall be by valuation; so that every person shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of the property he owns or has in his possession. Such value shall be ascertained in such manner as shall be prescribed by law.
MR. SINSEL, the following:
1. The legislature shall provide for a system of free schools throughout the Commonwealth. It shall cause each county and city, to be divided into convenient school districts, and cause a school house to be built in each, of suitable dimensions.
2. There shall be a board of education, which shall consist of the governor and secretary of the Commonwealth, and four persons appointed by them, each to hold office for the term of four years from the time of their appointment, one retiring each year in the order of appointment; and the governor and secretary shall fill all vacancies in the board which may occur from death, resignation, or otherwise. The board may appoint its own secretary.
3. The board may take and hold to it and its successors, in trust for the Commonwealth, any grant or devise of lands, any donation or bequest of money or other personal property, made to it for educational purposes; all fines and forfeitures; all of the waste and unappropriated lands within the Commonwealth, and all of the revenue arising from the capitation tax; and shall forthwith pay over to the treasurer of Commonwealth, for safe keeping and investment, all money and other personal property so received. The treasurer shall from time to time invest all such money in the name of the Commonwealth, and shall pay to the board on the warrant of the governor, the income or principal thereof, as it shall from time to time require; but no disposition shall be made of any devise, donation or bequest, inconsistent with the conditions or terms thereof.
MR. VAN WINKLE. If there are no more of these papers to be offered, I would suggest that the Committee on Boundary has not yet been able to come to a conclusion on that subject, and it seems to be governed by the action of other committees. Other committees are sitting and have appointed meetings this afternoon, but the legislature is about to meet and several members are members of that body and would like to be present on the first day. I was therefore about to move that the Convention should adjourn instead of taking a recess until two o'clock; because I apprehend the business will be better forwarded by giving the committees an opportunity to be at work, than by sitting here without anything before us. There will be a slim attendance here anyhow, as most of the members will desire to be in the legislature to hear the governor's message read. I therefore make that motion.
The motion was agreed to and the Convention adjourned.

Mandalay is Upper Burma's main commercial, educational and health center, the second largest city of Myanmar. It is a relatively young city since it was founded by King Mindon in 1857 on the occasion of the 2,400th jubilee of Buddhism. Mandalay used to be the last royal capital of Burma and its golden age continued during the British colonial rule, but the commercial and political importance had irreversibly shifted to Yangon. Although during WWII most royal buildings including the palace were inevitably destroyed by allied bombings, but there are still a bunch of historic monuments in Mandalay to remind us of the past.
The gilded stupa of Kuthodaw Pagoda was modeled after Shwezigon Pagoda at Nyaung-U near Bagan. Construction of the building was begun in 1857 by King Mindon, who wanted to leave a great work by merit and thus decided to create the world's largest book around the central stupa.

Oklahoma is poised to add several recruits into the fold on Wednesday with an eye on creating the foundation of a future championship squad. Yet, recruiting is an inexact science as some projected stars rise to meet those high expectations while others struggle to make a difference in the Big 12. Thus, it's the perfect time to look back at OU's past five recruiting classes. On Wednesday, we begin with a review of the Class of 2011 including recruits who exceeded expectations, recruits who were solid signees and ones who were complete busts.
There was a lot of hope for this class when these players signed in February 2011, but the class as a whole has let down the Sooners. The class was ranked No. 11 nationally by ESPN.com.
Transcendent figures
Linebacker Franklin Shannon: The No. 48 safety in the nation, Shannon made an immediate impact after a redshirt season. He forced his way onto the field as a redshirt freshman in 2012 and led OU in tackles as a sophomore in 2013. Shannon started in 15 games in his first two seasons and has 132 tackles, including 10.5 tackles for loss, heading into his junior year.
Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips: Phillips was emerging as a major force in the middle of the Sooners defense before a back injury this season. The No. 119 player in the ESPN 150 in 2011, Phillips has the talent to exceed expectations if he returns to full health.
Defensive tackle Jordan Wade: He replaced the other Jordan after a grayshirt season, and then redshirted in 2012. As a redshirt freshman in 2013, Wade was one of the heroes of OU's 11-win season as he stepped in for Phillips and held his own in the middle of OU's defense. The No. 103 player in the ESPN 150, Wade has a bright future ahead of him.
Completely missed the mark
Offensive lineman Nathan Hughes: The No. 101 player in the ESPN 150, Hughes played several positions before leaving the program before the 2013 season.
Running back Brandon Williams: The No. 35 player in the ESPN 150, Williams made an impact as a freshman but elected to transfer to Texas A&M after his first season.
Running back Danzel Williams: The No. 64 player in the ESPN 150, Williams redshirted in 2011, then left the program before the 2013 season. He never made an impact for the Sooners.
Overall grade: D-
More than half of this class is no longer in the program, including both Williams, Hughes, receiver Trey Metoyer, receiver Kameel Jackson, quarterback Kendal Thompson, linebacker Kellen Jones and defensive back Bennett Okotcha. Only Shannon and a pair of Jordans kept this class from being an F in one of the worst classes of the Bob Stoops era.

Minority and Non-Traditional Law Students / Really old new mom« on: February 16, 2012, 06:07:28 AM »
I'm a 41 yr old new mom and I'm far from making the money I need to have the lifestyle and opportunities I want for myself and my family. I hear everyone saying that after law school, you will make less money than you do now. Well, I doubt that is my situation. I have a mid level government job in an interesting area but no opportunity for advancement. I have considered law school my entire life but never had the tools or support. It seems to me that people I cross in my field who have a law degree, are catapaulted to the top of our field even though they are not doing anything remotely related to law. I;m interested why no one talks about that possibilty. Get a law degree and then just continue in your field but with far more credentials and clout. If I could just be at the top of my field and salary range for my field I would be happy. And many people have masters degrees in Public Administration, etc. so getting a degree like that woudln't give me a lew up. I think a law degree would. Please tell me what you think? Oh and can you gop to Law School part time?
