Today, CEG continues to organize individuals and organizations at the grassroots level, empowering communities and building coalitions on issues associated with HIV/AIDS, women and the Black community.
Complementing her work at CEG, Toni has a long history of advocating for the coordination of services for women with HIV/AIDS and working with Black communities around HIV and other health issues in local, regional and national settings. As Community Co-chair for the San Francisco HIV Prevention Planning Council, she facilitated a group of 27 community and government representatives who were responsible for the allocation of more than $8 million in federal and state resources. Since her return to D.C. in 2003, Toni has served as the Chair of the D.C. HIV Prevention Planning Council, a vital role that allows her to coordinate efforts in this community.
Toni has also lent her expertise to numerous projects, including developing and presenting HIV/AIDS congressional testimony for the White House working group, and working with lead staff of the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) to develop the 1996 Ryan White application to states. She has also served on numerous federal panels and committees including the CDC Sterile Needle Committee, the CDC meeting on Woman to Woman transmission and the Ryan White Title I & II Review Committees. Toni has also successfully planned and executed three regional forums concerning Woman and HIV/AIDS as it relates to women's health for the National Women's Health Network (NWHN).
Today, Toni is leading efforts at CEG to expand the reach of the organization. Through the HIV testing training program, CHAMPS, CEG now has over 30 outreach workers in the field, six days a week, using 8 mobile testing units to educate, test and link to care clients who are hardest to reach. As well, Toni has taken the lead in developing educational materials that are used throughout the country, and promoting replicable models for community development that she has tested and proven.
In addition, Ms Young is in the process of replicating many of CEG's HIV/HCV and PrEP education and testing programs in Appalachia; specifically in West Virginia. Appalachia and West Virginia is experiencing a spate of overdoses triggered by in many cases heroin laced with either fentenayl or cardentinil. The cocktail of heroin and counterfeit synthetics have lead to a 364% in the overall rate of hepatitis among people in Appalachia.
An increase in the abuse of injectable drugs is one cause for hepatitis C infection rates to more than triple in four Appalachian states (one of them being West Virginia), according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). West Virginia leads the nation in overdose deaths on an almost yearly basis. Between 2011-2013 West Virginia's number of overdose deaths per 100,000 residents increased by 54 percent compared to 2007-2009 . West Virginia has the highest rate of fatal drug overdoses of any state and the highest rate of babies born dependent on opioids among the 28 states that report data.
CEG is has developed a tablet based enrollment tool for DC Alliance, Medicaid and Medicare along with HIV/AIDS, Substance Abuse, Mental Health, HEPc, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. This will build on the outreach CEG currently conducts and folds into the goals of the Affordable Care Act to increase utilization of preventative care rather than urgent care.
CEG has lead efforts for National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day for the past 6 years. Develop community partners across the United State, developing campaign materials and creating the first national Spokesperson Ms. Vanessa Williams in 2012.

Carbon Commentary...The economics of this technology look interesting. What is even more compelling is that you could bolt together a large plant using conventional components freely available today from a variety of major suppliers. Unlike some of the really wacky suggestions for storing energy, we pretty much know that Highview’s ideas will work. A 350 kW pilot plant alongside the Slough power station has been through extensive testing for the last six months or so.
So how does it operate? You take ambient air and put it through a liquefaction plant using electricity. (Hundreds of these plants around the world today make liquid nitrogen, oxygen or natural gas). Liquefaction works by expanding a gas, which causes its pressure, and thus its temperature to fall. This technology is a hundred years old. The process uses substantial amounts of energy.
Allowing liquid air to expand increases its volume many hundred fold. This will produce high pressure in any sealed container. If the gaseous air

By M.R. KROPKO, Associated Press Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) - The congressman known for his combative style, tousled hair, polyester suits and maverick politics is also determined to face his federal corruption trial on his own terms.
Democratic Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., 60, has made a career of going it alone. Although not a lawyer, he will represent himself against 10 corruption and bribery charges in U.S. District Court.
"I get very upset with Jim Traficant, because he is still a quarterback trying to run a football team," said Don Hanni, 76, a Youngstown lawyer and former Mahoning County Democratic Party chairman.
While a quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh, Traficant (pictured, above) had a reputation for overruling plays sent in by the coach.
"I talk with him a lot. I tell him, 'For God's sake, get some help,'" Hanni said. "All in all, he's a decent fellow. I'd hate to see him go down the tube on these charges. But he wants to try his own case. I keep asking him, 'Did you wear any head gear when you played football?'"
The nine-term Democrat from Youngstown was indicted May 4. Trial is to begin Tuesday and is expected to last up to eight weeks. If convicted, Traficant could be sentenced to more than 60 years in prison and receive $2 million in fines.
Traficant lost an appeal Monday before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. Judge Boyce Martin refused to delay the trial for the court to consider whether to rule out as evidence congressional materials that Traficant contends are privileged under the Constitution.
Traficant is accused of accepting gifts and favors from constituents in exchange for lobbying in Washington and also of forcing his paid staff to make cash kickbacks to him or do favors for him at his horse farm.
He said after a recent pretrial hearing that he believes the Justice Department has been after him since he beat bribery charges nearly 19 years ago.
Traficant is emboldened by his improbable win over federal prosecutors in that previous trial.
In 1983, he was a sheriff accused of accepting $163,000 in bribes from mobsters and filing a false income tax return. He defended himself in front of a jury then, too.
The Justice Department said it possessed FBI tapes of conversations Traficant had with organized crime figures and his signed affidavit that he took mob money.
But Traficant convinced the jury he had been acting undercover while trying to destroy mob influence in Mahoning County. The jury deliberated four days and acquitted him. His win made him a folk hero in the Youngstown area, and he was elected to Congress in 1984.
In 1987, a federal tax court ruled that Traficant owed back taxes on the $163,000 he said he accepted from mobsters but did not keep. Traficant has been a consistent IRS critic in Congress.
Traficant also has angered members of his own party for years by voting with the Republicans on many bills and helping to elect Republican Dennis Hastert as speaker. He is the only member of the House without a committee assignment.
At the microphone on the House floor, he can be counted on for arm-waving theatrics and expressions such as "Beam me up!"
Traficant has accused the lead prosecutor in his corruption trial case, Craig Morford, of misconduct. Traficant claims Morford got witnesses to testify against the congressman by threatening them with criminal charges. Morford has denied the allegations.
On Friday, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Traficant accusing the government of violating his civil rights by singling him out for prosecution. He asked for $250 million in damages and an injunction blocking the trial.
The trial judge in his corruption case also has said he cannot use that allegation as a defense.
Traficant's advantage at trial will be his experience as a political communicator, said Thomas Flynn, a communications professor at Slippery Rock University. Flynn has researched Traficant's rhetorical style.
"I'm sure he wants the jurors to look at him as the little guy," Flynn said. "He wants to say, 'Look what they are doing to me, and they can do it to you, too.' He's not uneducated. I feel, though, that he may be in over his head. This is a much different case than in 1983."
Adam Thurschwell, a law professor at Cleveland State University, said Traficant could have an edge if he gets a sympathetic jury.
"Jurors usually are not lawyers, either, and they don't much care for the legal mumbo jumbo," Thurschwell said. "They can be very much inclined to sympathize with the stumbling. Most prosecutors would prefer a represented defendant."

The latest Atlanta United transfer rumor involves former EPL stalwart Kenwyne Jones. The Trinidad & Tobago striker had very impressive spells at Sunderland and Stoke from 2007-2014, and was known for his clinical finishing and physicality.
All those things are great, but in a stunning turn of events, we have discovered a sure sign that Jones BELONGS in Atlanta and something that should make this signing a no brainer:
That's right folks. Kenwyne Jones has identified ATL royalty Outkast and Ludacris as some of his favorite rappers. If this signing does indeed come to fruition, let us be the first to show him some Southern Hospitality by saying Welcome to Atlanta with a bouquet of Roses. Hopefully this signing takes Atlanta United to the Number One Spot. We may see Jones Roll Out to the Elevators at Mercedes Benz Stadium with some SouthernPlayalistiCadillacMuzik blaring from his headphones.
One thing is for sure, with his taste in music, Jones would be embraced by ATLiens and certainly not be an outcast.

for a recap of the biggest channel-impacting mergers in Q2 2013.**
Software-as-a-service provider Proofpoint has acquired Abaca Technology Corp. through a reverse triangular merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of Proofpoint. Abaca is a Silicon Valley company known for its engineering strength, technical talent, and email filtering & protection algorithms.
Abaca is privately held and headquartered in San Jose, Calif. Proofpoint says Abaca’s real-time, in-memory threat scoring technologies complement its big-data driven analysis techniques, which further extend Proofpoint’s threat protection capabilities.
Proofpoint says its drive to deliver solutions and innovation in the advanced threat protection, messaging security, and security-as-a-service space, led it to Abaca, whose cloud-based, multidimensional approach to threat detection is fits in with Proofpoint’s other advanced detection techniques.
“The Abaca team has deep expertise in email filtering and protection, and a passion for staying ahead of the threat curve,” said Gary Steele, Proofpoint’s CEO.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Earlier this year, Proofpoint, which sells through the indirect channel, made some changes to its Advantage and Referral partner programs, which focus specifically on resellers offering information archiving and governance.

In this challenge to a denial of the employee's [Petitioner] request for a religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for employees of the City of New York, brought pursuant to CPLR Article 78, the Appellate Division unanimously affirmed the Citywide Panel's determination denying the Petitioner's application for the exemption.
The court said the Petitioner had failed to demonstrate that the Citywide Panel's determination was arbitrary and capricious or made in violation of lawful procedure as the Citywide Panel had a rational basis for denying Petitioner's administrative appeal from the denial of his application for a religious exemption from the vaccination requirement, based on the Citywide Panel's findings that: Petitioner:
1. Petitioner failed to establish that his objection to receiving any of the COVID-19 vaccines was based on a sincerely held religious belief, given that he "had no demonstrated history of refusing medications or vaccines" other than declining to receive flu vaccinations for unspecified reasons; and
2. Petitioner failed to address whether he had "avoided any other vaccines or medications based on the same objection he raised to the COVID-19 vaccines".
Citing Matter of Marsteller v City of New York, 217 AD3d 543, the Appellate Division noted "It is not dispositive that the Citywide Panel's determination did not set forth any reasoning; a member of the Panel clarified the basis for the determination in an affirmation submitted in the article 78 proceeding".

I feel like I've been searching forever to no avail for an answer to this, but maybe you can help me. I recently purchased an AMD Radeon HD 6870 (and a new power supply) to install in my 4 year old HP Pavilion Elite (m9340f). Everything went smoothly except now I have no sound either from the front or real analog ports of my PC.
As you can see the speakers are listed as "not plugged in" (however levels are showing in the HDMI output) and nothing I've tried has seemed to correct that. So far I've:
- made sure the speakers were working and properly plugged in
- tried to enable the speakers from the sound window and make them the default device
- set onboard audio to enable in the BIOS
- deleted my audio drivers
- updated my audio drivers
- flashed my BIOS and reset onboard audio to enable
- maybe done a half dozen other unhelpful things I can't remember
After all that I still have no sound, and I'm getting kind of desperate. This seems like a fairly popular problem on tech forums without a solution. Can anything be done to fix this?
More about :analog sound working video card installation
You need to disable the onboard HD audio in the BIOS.
I have three sound cards basically, one which is onboard, one that is a creative audgy add in and one is basically the Radeon HDMI thing which comes with the card.
I have all of them disabled and have just my Audigy one showing up in the Sound Properties.
But this happened only after I disable the HD Audio onboard in the BIOS.
No sorry I didn't have anything plugged into it besides the dvi adapter.
I was able to get the sound back somehow but it was barely audible and sounded like it was coming out of a tin can so I bought a cheap sound card. Problem solved! Unfortunately not the way I wanted to solve it but I was at a loss to find a proper solution. Thanks for your help though!
