DHS “Secure Communities” Program Needs Serious Scrutiny

by Pili Tobar on 12/01/2011 at 3:32pm

secure communitiesOver the past several months, the controversy around DHS’ Secure Communities deportation program has grown exponentially as advocates for immigrants and victims of crime, state governors and law enforcement professionals, and even a DHS-appointed task force arrived at a serious conclusion: the program may claim to improve community safety, but is actually destroying the relationship between police and the immigrant community and undermining public safety as a result.  Despite being billed as a program focused on dangerous criminals, fully 57% of all immigrants deported through Secure Communities as of October 31, 2011 had either been convicted of low-level offenses, such as traffic violations, or had no criminal record at all.

A report published earlier this year by America’s Voice Education Fund, Public Safety on Ice: How Do You Police A Community that Won’t Talk To You?, uses examples from California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Washington to illustrate the damage that Secure Communities and other programs are having on community policing.  As the report states, “In order to investigate crimes, lock up criminals, and protect the public, police need the trust and cooperation of everyone in their communities.  When immigrants worry that contact with the police could lead to deportation, they are much less likely to report crimes and assist in investigations.  This makes the job of police much harder, and the ‘job’ of criminals much easier. The result: an entire community is less safe.”

Today, the House Immigration Subcommittee is holding a hearing on the program.  But if previous hearings are any indication, the Republican leadership is more likely to use it as a platform to bash the Obama Administration than to review the serious concerns raised by governors, law enforcement executives, and advocates.

The government’s own data proves that Secure Communities is not focused on dangerous criminals, but casts a wide net and ensnares thousands of immigrants who have committed no crime.  When a traffic stop leads to deportation, immigrants get the message loud and clear: avoid the police at all costs.  This makes them far less likely to report crimes they experience or witness, gives criminals a free pass, and hurts us all.

This program needs serious scrutiny, but we’re not going to get it from Reps. Gallegly, King, and Smith.  It’s clear that they are more interested in finding an opportunity to say the words ‘immigrant’ and ‘criminal’ in the same sentence, and bashing the Administration, than finding real solutions to our broken immigration system.

John 7

but YAHUSHUA went unto the mount of Olives.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But YAHUSHUA stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and YAHUSHUA was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

And YAHUSHUA lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

And she said, No man, Master. And YAHUSHUA said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

Again therefore YAHUSHUA spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

YAHUSHUA answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? YAHUSHUA answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? YAHUSHUA said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

YAHUSHUA therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

As he spake these things, many believed on him.

YAHUSHUA therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

YAHUSHUA answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. YAHUSHUA saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from YAHUVEH: this did not Abraham.

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even YAHUVEH.

YAHUSHUA said unto them, If YAHUVEH were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from YAHUVEH; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

He that is of YAHUVEH heareth the words of YAHUVEH: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of YAHUVEH.

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

YAHUSHUA answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

YAHUSHUA answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your YAHUVEH;

and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

YAHUSHUA said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but YAHUSHUA hid himself, and went out of the temple.

Best Legal Strength Stack?

  1. Best Legal Strength Stack?

    Hi everyone.

    I've done a few legal cycles. I've done cyclotren, Havoc, Supedrol and 1-T over the years.

    For my next cycle I want to stack <legal OTC> 2 compounds that are designed to give good strength gains. I have never done Phera Phlex as I have heard this is more suited for bulking rather than strength.

    Any ideas?

    I am 200 Lbs, 5'9. Please list any recommended dosages.

  2. If your not concerned with size and only want strength I would go 19NOR Tren product and stack that with Epi and you could add MMV2 which worked very well for me at 4 caps a day pre-workout. I had great strength gains from Havoc stacked with MMV2. Around 35lbs on bench.

  3. Not to thread hop, what if I wanted both size and strength?

  4. epi is pretty good for strength imo, maybe stack some with phera.

  5. Quote Originally Posted by ABNRanger View Post

    Superdrol....... Phera Plex will give you size and strength but I think most would say Superdrol is best for size and strength. It just comes with some baggage. Sides.......

    I can't wait for my bridge to start. Phera Plex into Superdrol for 5-6 weeker!!

  6. Two best OTC compounds i've used for strength lately MMV2 5caps a day and M,14ad. Ofcourse s-drol is always good but some people get harsher sides. the two supps above i ran with no sides

  7. sdrol 20mg, tren 90mg ed for 4 weeks..i luv sdrol preWO

Motorola Flipout ready to twist and shout on AT&T

The Android phone with the most interesting form factor appears headed for AT&T. Our friends over at Android Central are reporting that a tipster has informed them the Motorola Flipout has already been sent out to testers and should launch soon.

Motorola’s Flipout features one of the smallest displays for an Android phone at 2.8 inches, but it’s 600 MHz OMAP3410 processor is based on a ARM Cortex-A8 core which makes it faster than most mid-range devices. Early reports on the Flipout also suggested it had 256 MB of RAM, but the official product page indicates that has been doubled to 512 MB.

I could see the twist-out design turning off some users, but the Flipout features some of the most beefy specs for a mid-range Android device. I’m glad to see Motorola using the OMAP3410 processor which is powerful enough to run Flash 10.1 (if the phone is upgraded to Android 2.2).

Given that the Flipout is already in testers’ hands with a firmware that looks final, expect the Flipout to launch later this summer (July-August).

Highlights of the Motorola FLIPOUT include:

  • 2.8 inch QVGA display (320Ã—420)
  • 600 MHz processor TI OMAP3410
  • 512 MB ROM, 512 MB RAM
  • 3.1 MP camera
  • Five row QWERTY keyboard
  • GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth
  • 1170 mAh Li Ion
  • Android 2.1 with Motoblur

Exchange ruins this phone (unlock code unbearable) ANY FIX?

Last Updated:

  1. koldtoft

    koldtoft Active Member

    I have a Motorola Milestone/Droid (well my boss does) and he MUST sync with exchange for his contacts and calendar ect. (plus to send and receive mails) but Jesus lord almighty, that "password" lock thing, is annoying as hell. On my HTC desire, the app "lockpicker" works perfectly, but not on Milestone.

    Does ANYONE know of a workaround for the password lock on milestone running exchange?

    The only fix I have found working, was an app that totally removed the lock screen (even the slide to unlock) but that is not a very good solution, as he will constantly be calling people from his pocket (even a push on the volume button, opens the phone)

    FYI: I am administrator of the exchange sever (SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007) so if there is any server settings that can fix it, that is also a feasible option.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    If you're the exchange admin, don't you control the requirement for a PIN? You can't turn it off?

    If you can't turn it off, can you set it to a single digit so it's at least very easy?

    takeshi Well-Known Member

    I would think so. I'm on Exchange and have no PIN requirement.

    you could also try myLock. it bypasses the lock screen but only with the power button, which IMO is hard to accidentally press.
  7. DDG

    DDG Well-Known Member

    FYI - The only way we got it to work was to sync with the remote server. We have 3 Moto Droids that have no issues doing this. We're happy with how this works.
  8. sbursik

    sbursik Well-Known Member

    Get Touchdown to manage your Exchange email. It works great and gets around that.
  9. koldtoft

    koldtoft Active Member

    As far as i can see the Exchange server policy have no bearing on the android lock screen code, it seems to be a rule set my Android. I can set the code on the phone for "space space space space" so it's fairly easy to enter, but it's still not a good solution.

    Are you using a milestone/droid? Are you using any applications to skip lockscreen?

    MyLock is not working on the Milestone. There are 3 other MyLock applications, and one of them works on Milestone, but does not remove the code screen. (got some other features)

    Can you elaborate on this? How do you sync it with a “remote” server? All servers are “remote” when you are syncing from a cellular device. Can you give me a hint to what settings you have set and how?

    Only problem with that is, I live in Denmark, and the marketplace is not open for paid applications. :(

    Wow, I don't know how I missed that!?! :(
  11. animalunga

    animalunga New Member

    I also had your problem and found the cause and solution for those still interested:
    cause - is a policy of exchange for mobile devices which is the default, and since Android is the only one respect it (but do not know which version from, I have Jelly Bean 4.1.1), network administrators leave it so com 'is.

    remedy - ask your network administrator to make the following changes:
    On the Exchange Management Console / Organization Configuration / Client Access create a new policy "Android without password" and leave the previous as Default for safety
    On this new policy to disable the "General / Allow non-provisionable devices" and "Password / Require password" and press OK
    Then on Exchange Management Console / Recipient Configuration / Mailbox / Your account / mailbox features / Exchange ActiveSync, select the new policy in place of the default.

    In this way, you lose the security of access to the device but security of access to the account remains intact, whether personalized with the new policy. For example, if someone steals your phone can see the contents of your mailbox / address book / calendar etc. .. but if someone wants to access your account from a new device he still have corporate credentials (username and password).

searching in a predefined TinyDB in App inventor

Last Updated:

  1. PhaGeek

    PhaGeek New Member

    I am quite new to App Inventor and need some hints on how to design an app which searches in a tinyDB which is pre-made (there is no "saving to"-functionality).

    The app basically contains a text field in which the user enters a keyword and then presses a search button. The app then searches through a database to check if the entered keyword matches any contained in the database. If it does, the app then retrieves and displays up to five fields of information connected to the keyword in the database. The database and its contents I will create before hand, as stated above.

    - How do I structure the blocks to make the search functionality?
    - How do I structure the blocks to display on the screen five fields contained under the keyword in the database?
    - and how do I create the tinyDB that is to be connected to this App?

  2. glitz521

    glitz521 New Member

    looking to have a similar working app only with mine, Id like to use a list picker to to narrow down a list of venues (rows) to match search criteria that are defined by various attributes (Column). The list result would be the venues that match the search criteria. Then, each Venue would have its own page that displays all attributes for that venue.

    EX: Venues: place 1, place 2, place 3, ect
    Attributes: City, Restaurant (yes/no), Open late (yes/no), ect

    User searches for a place that is a restaurnat that is not open late-- And gets a list of all venues that match up to that query.

    My db is also genereated and dont need option for a user to "enter" info. If you ever ot this working, I would be curious to how its done using which layout and code blocks.

    Hi guys,

    I am also looking to make something similar, though am having a lot of trouble getting any type of search function to work. My app is idea is very simple, just a few hundred texts quotes that i want to be searchable. All i want is a front screen that you can type in keywords and hit 'search'. screen 2 displays the quotes that matched any of the searched words.

    seems really simple though i cannot find any info on how to do this. Did you guys find a solution?
  5. PavementPilot

    PavementPilot Well-Known Member

    If you are going to have just a searchable DB, then how do you propose to populate the DB in the first place?

    With just searchable data, I would construct variables with make list, and pull the data from there. Each variable is the name of the main subject, and the items in the list will be extra data associated with it.
  6. jumpjack

    jumpjack Member

    Did anybody solve this issue? I have a confidential database which I don't wont to upload anywhere, and I wont to query it on my phone using my own app developed by AppInventor2: how can I populate the tinyDB of my app using my own data?

Waking up screen from a timeoutGeneral

Last Updated:

  1. Androidtizen

    Androidtizen Member

    I have this frustrating problem. I have my screen timeout at 30s. So say when I'm reading a webpage and after 30s of non activity the screen turns off on me while I'm reading. During this immediate moment the phone is not yet locked. I quickly turn back on the screen by pressing the home button to continue my reading. The screen turns on but it also returns to the home screen! I wish it would stay at my last screen whenever I wake up the display again! Try it and you will know what I am talking about. So when it goes to homescreen I have to open the browser once again etc. On the iphone this is not the case. Or is there another method to turn on the screen again?

  2. cougar214

    cougar214 Well-Known Member

    Im familiar with what you're talking about and yes, it is a pita. Another thing it does is when you're using your browser and you get a text message, you answer the text message and hit the back button and once again, yer taken back to the homesceen insted of back to yer browser. Unfortunitely, this appears to be a ICS 4.0.4 thing. Maybe it will be sorted out if/when we get JB.

Trading up to Hardcovers – Which do you do?

Are you like me in that you might buy a book more than once? I’ve bought books on Kindle that I later wanted to own a physical copy of, and so I did. I also have certain books that I happen to have the soft cover version and am slowly exchanging them for the hardcover, primarily first edition versions.

If so, what makes you do so? Here are some of the reasons for me, and I’d love to hear yours.

Kindle to Physical

Usually this happens when a book’s been recommended to me and it was on sale, so I got it. After falling in love with it, I wanted to loan it out and couldn’t. I’ve actually bought physical copies so I can loan them.

The other times it’s happened is when, back in my early Kindle days, I didn’t realize I don’t like research or writing craft books on my Kindle. I just can’t seem to ingest them as well as the physical version. Now I always buy the hard copy of writing and research books. Something about the tactile nature helps me learn. I also can’t have two places open at once and mark it up with arrows, stars and drawings that help me understand the concept better.

Softcover to Hardcover

These are for the authors I really love and I discovered partway or after their hardcovers were first published. Slowly I’m replacing my softcovers for the hardcover and preferably first edition. I’ve almost got all of Ann Rice’s paranormal fiction in first edition, hardcover, and am working on Frank Herbert’s Dune series, Phillip K. Dick, and Christopher Moore.

I know I’m not alone in this as I work in an independent bookstore and we’ve been noticing a trend–some folks are coming after having read a book on their eReader and wanting to get the hardcover version (not the softcover), so we’ve been making sure to stock hardcover commercial fiction and noticing it sells better than their mass market paperback versions (which I think is what the eReaders are replacing).

This is why I don’t think physical books will go the way of the Dodo. They might be reduced in print runs, but I think they’ll always be around because too many people like the physicality of owning one, and running their hands over them, and smelling them, and just giving a big sigh when they gaze at their bookshelves.

What do you think? Which softcover or ebooks are you exchanging for hardcover?

Leave a comment

  1. I prefer printed books. I mostly buy paperbacks, but will buy hardcover versions of classics. Usually because 1) the paperback I have is wearing out, 2) the paperback is not in the store and the hardcover is, or 3) the hardcover is so pretty! I’ve always wanted that library filled with gorgeous hardcover books with the gilt lettering and page edges. The ones that look like they’re bound in leather but it’s really some vinyl-hybrid-thing masquerading as leather.

    I also prefer paperbacks to loan out to others. I keep at least one paperback copy of each Jane Austen novel on hand to loan or gift to others. I have a lovely hardcover of P&P and one with all six novels plus Lady Susan.

  2. I love my Kindle and actually prefer to read on it. Likewise with research material. For a while I was traveling so much, it was easier to take it with me.

    • I hear you! It’s been interesting to see how I’ve used my Kindle over time and what I get on it and what I don’t. I wouldn’t give it up (well, except to trade it for a tablet) as there’s some things I prefer to do on it. One thing I hadn’t anticipated was loading my fellow writers’ Beta MS on there to critique, and I also put my own on there for quick read-throughs during different revision stages. I also like that on cold nights I can turn the page without taking my hand out from beneath the covers :)

  3. Me too! I love to have hardback versions of all my favorites. Sometimes when I’m not sure if I’ll like a book or I’m on the fence about reading it I’ll buy the Kindle version because it’s cheaper. Whenever it’s something I really love, I almost always go out and buy the book later!

He Knows Where the Goal Is: Mapping the Modern Football Pitch

The modern footballer must know his place. If the forensic analysis of Zonal Marking is to be believed, most of them are mindless chess pieces moved around at will by their gesticulating manager. But, while the positions they are allocated have well-established names, the areas of the pitch they occupy are still subject to the eccentricity of the football cliché.

All credit to @jon_foley for putting the image together

The Engine Room
Smack-bang in the middle of the park is the British Crown dependency of the midfield engine room, the domain of the Lampards, the Gerrards and the Parkers of this world. As the name suggests, everyone within the engine room must possess an engine, or at least be full of running.

Going Nowhere
You know the drill - a bumbling winger, in a desperate attempt to track back, fouls an opponent as they loiter (facing the wrong way) in this specific, innocuous part of the pitch. Located near half-way and close to the touchline, the vast majority of free-kicks conceded here will be classified as silly.

The Hole
The hole is fast becoming a quaint anachronism in the era of false nines who flit between the lines. A stealthy place to inhabit, the hole confounds opposing defenders who struggle to pick up the deep-lying forward.

The Channels
The thinking man's wings, the channels represent the dire straits between penalty area and touchline where full-backs can be given a torrid time - either by fleet-footed (or jet-heeled) wingers or by their swashbuckling opposite numbers.

The endangered species of the old fashioned winger (centre-forwards and cup-ties can also be old-fashioned) has been forced inside to survive, leaving its former home of the wing (or the "flank") derelict and languishing under the vague term "wide areas".

In a figurative sense, one of the worst places a footballer can find himself is on the periphery, from where it is very difficult to get into the game.

David Beckham Territory
A hotly disputed area, but various attempts to annex it permanently over the last decade have proved fruitless, many coming to a ignominious end up in Row Z.

It is the most popular strategic base to launch attacks on the tiny enclave in the top corner of the goal - known as the postage stamp - located just next to the angle of post and bar.
The Mixer
There's a distinct whiff of Big Ron about this (Ronglish was an unsanctioned splinter lexicon which is thankfully fading from view), but the mixer remains a great leveller. From Sunday League to the top flight, last throws of the dice find their way into this perilous badland. The mixer must be accessed with a hopeful long ball - no team has ever attempted to walk the ball into the mixer.

To further emphasise the stresses of the mixer, it often gives proverbial nosebleeds to no-nonsense defenders who venture upfield, often with the kitchen sink tucked under their arms.

many thanks to @Steve_Sub for the image
No Man's Land
A horrid void in which hapless goalkeepers are said to have "gone walkabout". Littered with suicidal backpasses, this is where the custodian feels most alone. But it's not the only danger that 'keepers face...

The Corridor of Uncertainty
One of the most poetic of all the football cliches. Originally a cricket phrase, as many seem keen to point out, but now undeniably adopted by football. The narrow corridor of uncertainty straddles the six-yard line, and is permeated regularly by crosses fizzed in from the channels.

Whether you're marauding, swashbuckling, rampaging, venturing, flooding, backpedalling, gliding, ghosting, wandering, drifting, racing, slaloming, jinking or simply ambling
always know where you are.

Neil said...

Regarding the Corridor of Uncertainty, I've seen it mentioned in regards to fizzing crosses pinged in from the flanks, but I've most frequently heard it mentioned regarding long diagonal balls into the mixer, which go over everyone and end up bouncing in at the far post. The keeper doesn't know whether to track the path of the ball or anticipate the header.

The Angle said...

Yes, those types of cross are said to "evade everybody".

Anonymous said...

Thowe crosses are also 'impossible to defend' and 'a defenders nightmare'.

Anonymous said...

Which part of the pitch do forwards "drop their shoulders" to beat defenders? Where do defenders "build from the back"?

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

"With 2 banks of 4, it can be very difficult for strikers to open their accounts, even if they have a wealth of talent. However if one is able to pick the pocket of a defender, the aforementioned striker may profit from his mistake. To prevent this a defender at this point should set out his stall, but must never under any circumstance give anyone change. If the defender is sold a dummy by an attacking player, he will somehow need to get out of jail. This is an institution which would be located somewhere between the hole and no-mans land. If the defender is able to avoid such problems, the forward may be unable to buy a goal from anywhere." - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

at the administration's request

""Interestingly, some journalists have known about the "secret" Saudi base for some time. The Washington Post says it didn't disclose the location at the administration's request, but it "learned Tuesday night that another news organization was planning to reveal the location of the base, effectively ending an informal arrangement among several news organizations that had been aware of the location for more than a year." The Post reports that it's just one of a "growing constellation of drone bases" operated by the U.S. overseas."" (thanks Amir)

Subject: Re: Sunbathing through glass
Answered By: tlspiegel-ga on 12 Dec 2005 11:47 PST
Hi nic1111,

Thank you for your interesting question.

How Things Work - Windows and Glass

"Can you get a suntan or sunburn through glass?

Yes, but not as quickly as without the glass. While glass absorbs
short wavelength ultraviolet light, it does pass 350 to 400 nanometer
ultraviolet. While this longer wavelength ultraviolet is less harmful
than the shorter wavelength variety, you can still tan or burn if you
get enough exposure. Glass is like sunscreen--it protects you pretty
well but it isn't perfect."

Skin cancer through glass

"Could you please tell me if it is possible to get skin cancer whilst
sitting in a conservatory or through a car window?

Most glass used for windows blocks UVB but not UVA. This means that
although glass greatly reduces the risk of sunburn, it does not
prevent long term damage from UVA. So, if you are driving long
distances or sitting in your conservatory every day for long periods
of time, with the sun beaming in on you, then you are putting yourself
at risk."

BC Cancer Agency

"Glass is an excellent sunscreen for preventing burning. You will not
burn through window glass but you will tan through window glass."

"1. Have you wondered if you can get sunburn or tan through a window?
A window acts like a sunscreen. It does not block all the UV radiation
but it does block the most dangerous wavelengths of UV radiation.
Glass absorbs short wavelength ultraviolet light, but it does pass 350
to 400 nanometer ultraviolets. While this longer wavelength
ultraviolet is less harmful than the shorter wavelength variety, you
can still tan or burn if you get enough exposure. You will burn much
more quickly when driving with the windows down and exposed to the sun
as compared to driving with the windows up and exposed to the sun."

Singapore Science Centre

"Can you get sunburn through glass or plastics?

When you expose your skin to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun,
your body produces a substance called melanin, which protects the
skin. When your body can't produce enough melanin to counteract the UV
rays absorbed by your skin, a sunburn results.

Ordinary glass or plastic do absorb a large portion of the ultraviolet
rays from the sun. It would therefore take a longer period to get

========= News - Can you get a sunburn in the car with the windows up?

"At a recent summer party, someone asked if you can get a suntan or
sunburn in a car with the windows up. We were evenly divided on the
issue. What's the answer?

In a way, you're all right.

Most glass, in cars or houses, blocks the kind of sunlight, called
ultraviolet B, or UVBthat causes sunburns, said Dr. Robert Stern,
chief of dermatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. So
you're unlikely to get truly burned through the window. But glass does
let in ultraviolet A, or UVA, light, which can cause suntans, though
very slowly."

polycarbonate conservatory roof part two colours - Wednesday, 07 September 2005

"consider where you will be locating your diy pvc-u conservatory,
north and east facing conservatories will have less light falling on
them and clear polycarbonate may be the better choice, south facing
diy conservatories may be better with the bronze or opal colours.

heatguard is alo good at reducing heat build as polycarbonate acts
like a green house effect as it will not allow the retransmission of

by the interior contents in other words it gets warmer inside! and you
will not get a suntan either as it absorbs infrared light."

As a child we had a large greenhouse that had been converted to house
an inground pool. We swan the year round; summer months 8-10 hrs a day
could be spent by the pool. I am very fair skinned (burn within
minutes at the ocean) and never burned (or even tanned) in the pool
house. Perhaps the glass we used was specially treated but I doubt it.

Levaquin Side Effects

Nausea, headache, and diarrhea are the most common problems reported with Levaquin. Side effects that are rare but possible (occurring in less than 1 percent of people taking the drug) include nosebleeds, anemia, and vertigo. While most side effects of Levaquin do not require medical attention, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience fainting, watery or bloody diarrhea, or hallucinations.

An Introduction to Levaquin Side Effects

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Levaquin® (levofloxacin). However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Levaquin. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Levaquin side effects with you.)

Common Side Effects of Levaquin

Levaquin has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occurred in a group of people taking Levaquin were documented and compared to side effects that occurred in a similar group of people taking a different antibiotic. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occurred, how often they appeared, and how they compare to the group taking a different medication.
In these studies, the most common side effects of Levaquin included:
Other common side effects (occurring in 1 to 2 percent of people) included:
  • Yeast infections
  • Shortness of breath
  • Abdominal pain (stomach pain)
  • Vomiting
  • Indigestion or heartburn
  • Water retention
  • Chest pain
  • Pain at the injection site (when the medication is given by IV)
  • Vaginal irritation or infection.

In the fast lane with Moto Mucci

By day, Dave Mucci works as a product designer. By night and weekend, he builds bikes—the ones with engines—and then documents his projects and inspirations on his blog. In this video, we swing by Mucci's Chicago garage to talk shop and see him work his magic on some seriously cool machines.

Some guys get enough of a high just riding on a motorcycle. But some guys are not Dave Mucci, a product designer who bought a Honda CX500 solely so he could take it apart and put it back together again—adding some personal tweaks along the way. In this video, he breaks down his process. Believe us, you'll want to come along for the ride.

Culturally Effective Prevention & Intervention

Domestic violence in Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities is an urgent problem requiring cultural expertise in formulating system-based responses and community-based strategies that encompass the ethnic and demographic diversity of the population. The urgency is compounded by several issues: high prevalence rates, unique dynamics and types of abuse, isolating socio-cultural barriers, and the tenacity of traditional cultural attitudes.

High Prevalence Rates

41-61% of Asian women report experiencing domestic violence (physical and/or sexual) during their lifetime (Yoshihama & Dabby, 2009). This is higher than the prevalence rates in the general population: Whites (21.3%); African-Americans (26.3%); Hispanic, of any race, (21.2%); mixed race (27.0%); and American Indians and Alaskan Natives (30.7%); and the 12.8% rate reported for Asians and Pacific Islanders (Tjaden & Thoennes Extent, Nature, and Consequences of Intimate Partner Violence 2000).

Unique Dynamics

Domestic violence in API families has some unique dynamics, requiring different approaches to prevention and intervention. For example, there can be multiple abusers in the home i.e. male and female in-laws and this can mean that a battered woman may need restraining orders against several family members. Another difference is the way API battered women experience ‘push’ factors from their partners (“give me a divorce, I can always find another wife,” etc.) more frequently than ‘pull’ factors (“come back to me, I won’t do it again,” etc.). This affects how API battered women make decisions and respond to advocates’ interventions.

Isolating Socio-Cultural Barriers

Battered women, particularly non-citizens and/or those with limited English proficiency face language, economic, cultural, religious, or identity-based barriers when trying to access social and legal services. They are isolated not only by system barriers, but also by the tactics of their batterers who often threaten them with deportation and loss of children. Cultural competency means advocating despite these barriers, and devising prevention and intervention strategies in response to new trends that further isolate women.

Victim-Blaming Community Norms

Community reinforcements that keep gender violence in place utilize victim blaming, silencing, shaming, and rejecting battered women who speak up or seek help. Culturally prescribed gender roles can inhibit women’s self-determination: the nexus of public disclosure and shame is strong and covert or overt community support for batterers undermines accountability. Hence, community organizing has become synonymous with prevention, with programs using a range of approaches to educate families, promote help-seeking, and change norms.

Ethnic Diversity & Culturally Competent Programs

The enormous ethnic and demographic diversity of Asian and Pacific Islander communities; their levels of acculturation based on immigration histories and socioeconomic status; and the fact that they are the fastest growing population in the U.S.; attests to the need for diversity in culturally specific prevention and intervention. Because attitudes and dynamics differ across ethnic groups, a one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate. For example, in the Boston Asian Task Force study, 74% of South Asian respondents supported a battered woman calling the police for help, whereas 47% of Cambodian, 52% of Chinese, 27% of Korean, and 49% of Vietnamese respondents agreed (Yoshioka & Dang, 2000). Understanding such differences makes the work of culturally specific organizations relevant to their communities.

Cultural competency means more than hiring a multi-lingual staff person or stocking rice in the shelter. It means engaging in outreach to the community in a way that builds trust, connecting up various forms of social and familial oppression, working within innovative models based on the socio-cultural contexts of Asian immigrant and U.S.-born battered women’s lives. Programs learn from each other – a successful strategy used by a Hmong program may be replicated by a Korean one. Such cross-fertilization deepens community-based prevention, grows new approaches and strengthens leadership, all the while keeping safety for battered women and their children as a core value. Finally, trends and newer problems like forced marriages, and the increasing complexity of multi-system work such as child welfare and domestic violence systems, pose greater challenges to culturally sensitive services and prevention.

“We are transforming our culture to create violence-free lives and a world of gender justice.”

Explanation: The sands of time are running out for the central star of this hourglass-shaped planetary nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a Sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected - its core becoming a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the "hourglass". The unprecedented sharpness of the HST images has revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may help resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

I have an existing playlist in iTunes, and I'd like to move some tracks to the top. But when I drag them up, the cursor get a "+", and the tracks don't stay where I put them. How can I move these tracks around in a playlist?

You need to switch to list view to reorder songs in a playlist. To switch to list view click the list view button in the upper left hand side of the top of the iTunes windows:

List view

Once you've switch to list view you need to make sure your items are sorted by track number (click the top of the the first column). Then you can drag tracks around in the playlist to reorder them. For example, I switch Planet Earth and The Valley in the playlist shown above by clicking on Planet Earth and dragging it up above The Valley and then releasing my mouse button:

Switched songs

Edit: I just tried this in iTunes on Windows and I think I see where you're getting the + from. It's actually okay -- just keep dragging. Apparently the + is the cursor icon Apple chose for a grab action on song (or a list of songs). I have no way to take a screen shot of what's happening, but I can definitely reorder songs in Windows by clicking and dragging when in list view. Same as on OS X.

Information Technology, Documents, & Records

Accepting Credit Card Payments

In order to accept credit card payments, the College is required to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), which were established by the major credit card companies (American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa) to protect merchants and cardholders from cardholder information theft. This policy will be reviewed at least annually and will be updated as needed to reflect changes in PCI DSS standards.

Departments must contact the Business Office to receive approval prior to accepting credit card payment information, and follow the procedures described below to ensure the security of credit card transactions.

Departments are prohibited from storing credit card information electronically (in databases or excel worksheets) and sending credit card information via electronic means (i.e. e-mail, chat, instant messaging).

Credit card information is defined here to mean the full credit card number, the card verification code or the PIN.  Credit card numbers appearing on receipts or reports must be truncated to the last 4 digits.

Devices used to process credit card transactions must be dedicated to processing credit card payments and may not be connected to other Carleton network services such as e-mail.

Access to cardholder data must be limited to only those individuals whose jobs require such access.  Each individual with access to credit card information must have a unique user ID.  User IDs should not be shared with other individuals.

All Information Technology data security standards are required to be followed when accepting credit card payments.

Establishing a credit card account:

  1. Contact the Business Office for authorization to set up an account.
  2. Departments processing credit card payments must attend training with the Business Office to review the policies and procedures for accepting credit card payments.
  3. The Business Office must establish all merchant accounts to ensure the Business Office has access to all accounts for monitoring and reconciliation purposes.
  4. Departments must provide daily settlement reports to the Business Office for all credit card transactions unless other arrangements have been made.

Processing credit card payments over the internet:

  1. The Business Office has contracted with an online payment gateway that is PCI DSS compliant for receiving, transmitting and storing credit card data.  Cardholder transaction information is collected and securely stored directly with the payment gateway or processor, at no time is credit card information collected or stored on College computers or transmitted by the College.
  2. Departments obtain information directly from the payment gateway,  only the information necessary to apply the payment (such as the name, amount and authorization code) may be retained at  the department level.  Files or print reports should not contain credit card information.  The full contents of any data from the magnetic stripe, the card verification code and the PIN must not be stored under any circumstances.  In the event of a dispute or chargeback, the transaction can be researched from the processor’s website via a secure login.
  3. Carleton Web Services will assist departments with setting up web sites for processing transactions over the internet.

Processing credit card payments where a card is presented in person:

  1. PCI DSS compliant credit card equipment will be provided to the Department by the Business Office through our merchant service provider.  Imprint machines should not be used.
  2. Credit card information must be truncated to the last 4 digits.  The full card number must never be printed on anything, including the customer copy, our copy or batch reports.  The card number should not be printed in either bar code or numeric format.  In the event of a dispute or chargeback, research the transaction on the merchant account website via a secure login.
  3. Signed slips or batch reports must be sent to the Business Office on a daily basis.  Documents must never contain the full card number.

Processing credit card payments when the card is not present (mail or telephone):

  1. All rules that apply to “where card is presented in person” are applicable here as well.
  2. Promptly process the credit card information received.  Following confirmation that the transaction has transmitted without error, immediately destroy credit card information received by cross-cut shredding so that credit card information cannot be reconstructed.
  3.

Bogle LTD

Good Horses, Good Cowboys

Story courtesy of America's Horse
Story by Jim Jennings

It’s no accident that Bogle Ltd. was named the winner of last year’s Best Remuda Award. They planned for it.

Bogle Ltd. Ranches lie in the southeast corner of New Mexico. It’s in an area centered around Roswell, but reaching east to near Tatum and Lovington, south to Artesia, and north and west toward Corona. The property encompasses more than 840 square miles, better than half a million acres. Much of the land is plagued by drought, dotted with mesquite and cactus, and scorched by the hot summer sun. It’s where Hal Bogle established his ranching interests when he arrived in New Mexico from Tennessee in 1917, and it’s where his grandsons continue to ranch today. It’s also where some of the best ranch horses in the country reside.

Daylight is still more than two hours away when Wayland Newberry hollers at his houseguest. “Jim, you awake?” “Yeah,” I holler back, knowing full well that he realizes I’m lying. I also know that he’s probably grinning to himself as he steps out on the back porch to smoke a cigarette and wait for me to get dressed. A glance at the clock glowing in the dark room tells me it’s 3:50 a.m. I hustle into my clothes, grab my camera bag and meet him on the back porch. By 4:20 we are at the corrals and Wayland is catching a horse. At 4:30 we’re having breakfast in the headquarters kitchen, and by 4:40 the horses are loaded and we are headed for another part of the ranch. Wayland Newberry is foreman of the Turkey Track Ranch, one of three divisions that make up Bogle Ltd. He’s worked on the ranch for more than 30 years, and has been foreman since 1988. The Turkey Track makes up the largest portion of the Bogle holdings – 640 sections, more than 400,000 acres. Forty-five minutes later we join up with some other cowboys, including Stuart and Donald Bogle, two of the ranch’s owners, and the day’s work is planned. Light on the eastern horizon says dawn is not far off now.

Stuart and Donald Bogle, and their brother Scott, are managers of what was once known as the Hal Bogle Estate but today is incorporated as Bogle Ltd. Hal Bogle was their grandfather, and the three brothers inherited responsibility for the ranch from their father, Bill.

Headquartered at Dexter, New Mexico, a small town just south of Roswell, the estate is made up of three separate ranches plus a farming operation and a feedlot. Stuart manages the Turkey Track, which runs from the Pecos River east about 30 miles. Scott takes care of the Four Lakes Ranch, a 50-section (32,000 acres) operation between the towns of Caprock and Tatum, and Donald runs the Corona Ranch, 150 sections (96,000 acres) between Roswell and Corona. All three ranches are cow/calf operations, and the Corona Ranch also runs sheep. The ranches’ broodmares are primarily on the Turkey Track and the Four Lakes.

Also included in Donald’s responsibility is the feedlot. All three brothers pitch in and help with the farm.

“The farm is about 5,000 acres,” Stuart says, “mostly hay, corn and wheat. We sell all the corn and most of the hay to the dairies around Dexter, but we chop some of the wheat into silage and we’ll plant some sorghum silage to use at the feedlot.”

Cattle on the ranches number between 4,000-5,000 head, depending upon pasture conditions. For the most part they are crossbred cows with the base breed being Angus. There is one herd of straight-bred Angus cows, from which they raise bulls for the rest of the ranches, and they are using some Braford bulls. Mother cows make up the base of the operation, but they will occasionally run yearlings, too.

“Corona and Four Lakes are good yearling ranches, but at the Turkey Track water is too far apart for it to be good yearling country,” Stuart says. “We run yearlings on those ranches when we get some good rains.”

This is not the year for yearlings.

The sun is not yet up, but all the cowboys are horseback now. This morning they are moving the cattle from a pasture in which the grass is exhausted, into one that contains some oak shinnery brush that the cattle will eat. It should be enough to last them two weeks – two weeks that that particular herd won’t have to be fed.

For all practical purposes, it hasn’t rained for a year in southeastern New Mexico. An already harsh range country – annual stocking rate is just six cows per section – has been made even harsher by the drought. An occasional shower this past spring has given hope, but the clouds have always moved on, usually dropping a half-inch or less of moisture. Most of the dirt tanks are dry, and for water the cattle have to depend upon the windmills that bring it from far below the ground. The almost never-ending wind is a Godsend – it keeps the windmills turning.

Horses are the only way to work the cattle on the Bogle ranches. The terrain, especially on the Turkey Track, is too rough for any kind of motorized device. Hal Bogle’s first Quarter Horse stallion was a horse named Bogle. Foaled in 1939, he was by San Siemon and was brought to the ranch by world champion cowboy Bob Crosby of Roswell. Crosby was at a roping when he found the stallion in Stonewall, Oklahoma, on Dick Truitt’s place. Crosby called Bogle, who wired Truitt the money for the horse, and Crosby brought him to New Mexico. Bogle then became the base of the ranch’s Quarter Horse breeding program.

Bogle was followed by such sires as Midnight Red B by Midnight, Flashy Waggoner by Waggoner Snip, and others whose bloodlines go back to King, Old Sorrel, Begger Boy (TB), Red Buck, Chicaro Bill, Redman and Little Joe. In later years the Bogles used Jet Twist Deck by Easy Jet and Peppy Motor Scooter by Mr San Peppy. Many of these sires are still reflected in the bloodlines of the ranch’s broodmares.

Stallions being used today are Zan Parr Jet by Zan Parr Bar and Docen Colonel by Colonel Freckles. The stallions are turned out with their own bands of 15-20 mares in late March or early April, and picked up in July.

“Docen Colonel has really been good for us,” Stuart says. “He’s out of a daughter of Doc Bar, but he’s a pretty good sized horse, and he throws a little more size than a lot of horses that are bred that way. His foals have a really good disposition, and they are pretty athletic.

“Zan Par Jet is a good horse, too,” he continues. “We’ve been breeding him to a lot of the Docen Colonel fillies.”

With the exception of an occasional stallion prospect, the colts are all gelded and placed into the ranch remuda for the cowboys to ride. The better fillies are returned to the broodmare band, and the others are sold.

Stuart says, “Sometimes we’ll break the fillies and ride them a little, but we’ll definitely mess with them enough to be sure they’re the kind we want to keep. We’ll breed the fillies the first time when they are three.”

The Bogles try to keep their mares on decent pastures, but they are also supplemented throughout the year, and, of course, wormed and vaccinated.

This past spring they bred a few mares to two young stallions that they are trying for the first time. One is a son of Smooth Herman, Smooth Lee Royal, and the other, Doc Blue Twist, is a son of Docen Colonel that they raised. Stuart says that Docen Colonel is getting old now, and he sure wants to have a replacement for him when it comes time.

Also, Stuart will carry two or three of his best mares to outside stallions each year. The primary goal for the horse breeding program is to keep good horses under good cowboys. As a matter of fact, that’s always been their plan.

Transitional Floor Lamps

Design Tips:

  • When choosing a floor lamp, pay attention to the overall height of the lamp and how it will relate to the furniture in the room.
  • Use a floor lamp as a bedside light if there is not enough room for a nightstand and table lamp.
  • Coordinate lamp shades on different lamps and lighting within the room for a polished look.
For versatile lighting in the home, transitional style is a good choice as it works with so many interior and furniture styles. These transitional floor lamps can work in homes, hotels, offices and other professional settings. Used for reading, ambient light, task lighting and room brightening, transitional floor lamps make a lighting statement that changes the look and feel of a space. Pair a transitional floor lamp with transitional ceiling lights or chandeliers as well as transitional table lamps for a well designed lighting profile in the space. Overhead lighting, table level lights and floor lamps create zones of lighting for different activities and functions within the room.

The beauty of transitional floor lamps is that the combine the best of traditional and modern design styles. Transitional floor lamps can be found in a number of finishes, including chrome, nickel, bronze and brass as well as painted metal. These floor lamps can have fabric, glass, metal or acrylic shades. Transitional styles include reading lamps, torchiere style, swing arm adjustable floor lamps and many more. Transitional floor lamps are versatile enough to work in almost any interior style space.

For lighting in living rooms, family rooms, home offices, hotels, and offices, transitional floor lamps provide both ambient and task lighting. Uplight floor lamps like transitional torchieres can brighten a room by washing the ceiling or wall in light. Transitional reading lamps and floor lamps can create lighting in seating areas as well as in dark corners and spaces that are too small or narrow for a table and lamp set up.

The Arcadian Home collection includes contemporary floor lamps by such leading designers as: Adesso, Lite Source, Nova Lighting, Kichler and Kenroy. For additional floor lamps, browse our wide selection of lamps and light fixtures.

The Hubbardton Forge Rook Twin transitional floor lamp, seen here, combines the traditional look of candle lights with a more contemporary design that beautifully blends in with the transitional style furnishings and other lighting in these beautiful living and dining areas. A floor lamp should coordinate with other lighting in the space in either finish or style or preferably both. Transitional floor lamps can fit in with more traditional or contemporary fixtures, bridging the gap between the two styles. Simple, elegant and functional—this transitional floor lamp combines all three elements into a handsome floor lamp that can be used in a number of interior styles, including transitional rooms as seen here.

Q & A of the Day

  • Can the height and width-2 places be adjusted?
    jeff Jan 14, 2013
    I contacted Kenroy Home in regards to item KR-32119-BS and they confirmed that the fixture can not be adjusted in height. Only the lamp shade has a swivel above the socket that allows you to tilt it or move from side to side but the poll height itself is stationary.

Enhance Walls with Divided Wall ArtDec 10, 2012

If you’re looking for a change of scenery when it comes to wall art sans the usual framed painting or wall decor, divided wall art can liven up your walls in many different ways. Typically, it is a grouping of panels that when hung together create a single scene or abstract. Perhaps the most famous type of divided wall art is the diptych—an artwork divided into two parts and the triptych—an artwork divided into three parts. They can be framed or unframed canvas or even decorative metal. Here are some intriguing and clever ways to use divided wall art. Lord Bodner's Octopus Triptych wa...(Read More)

Research Activities, February 2012, No. 378

Whenever possible, patients with HIV infection want to receive care locally where they live. While patients living in urban areas can access a variety of treatment sites, rural patients and those in outlying urban areas (peri-urban) may not have as many services available to them. As a result, they may decide to seek care at major treatment sites located in urban areas.

John A. Fleishman, Ph.D., of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and colleagues found that overall, most HIV outcomes and medication use were comparable across patients living in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. The study involved 8,773 patients with HIV infection who were followed clinically at 7 high-volume, urban HIV Research Network sites in 2005. Each patient was determined to be rural if they lived in an area with a population of less than 10,000 or urban if the population was greater than 100,000.

Patients considered to be "peri-urban" lived in areas with populations between rural and urban parameters. Rural and peri-urban patients were significantly less likely to be black (22 percent and 21 percent, respectively) compared with urban patients (40 percent). Those living in peri-urban areas were more likely to have an HIV transmission risk factor of men who have sex with men. The researchers did not find any significant differences in median CD4 cell counts, CD4 distribution, and median HIV viral loads (all indicators of HIV disease progression) among the three groups. Overall, rural and peri-urban individuals receiving care at urban sites had high levels of appropriate medication to prevent opportunistic infections (infections that are more prevalent among patients with deficient immune systems) and good HIV outcomes compared with their urban-living counterparts. However, the researchers discovered some health care use differences.

For example, patients living in rural and peri-urban areas were less likely to have four or more outpatient visits a year than their urban counterparts. The findings suggest that HIV patients living in non-urban areas can receive high-quality HIV care if they take advantage of high-volume, urban-based care sites. The study was supported in part by AHRQ (Contract No. 290-01-0012).
