We all seek beautiful hair, skin, and nails, but sometimes it takes more than a healthy diet and the right topical treatments.

So to find out which hair, skin, and nail vitamins are worth committing the time and effort to become your best self, we sought the feedback of the women who swear by them.

The powdered mixture of anti-aging compound purslane and skin-clearing telomerase provides anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and nutritive properties each time you take it.

"I am so passionate about my hero ingredient in my skincare range, that I want to have it internally every day," she says.
To help enhance your skin's glow, Moon Juice created this powder rich in calcium, anti-aging and antioxidant properties, as well as ingredients to stimulate collagen production, even your skin tone, and strengthen your hair.

The Beyer robotics program began seven years ago with just nine students. It now has more than 40 students, and not just from Beyer. Kids from Enochs, Riverbank and Big Valley Christian also take part.
Right now, the students are working furiously to build a robot that can meet several challenges set forth in the 2019 FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics game, "Destination: Deep Space." The game was announced Jan. 5, and participating teams have until Feb. 19 to build their robots. That explains the weekend session.
The main fundraiser to support Beyer Robotics, its annual spaghetti dinner and silent auction, is coming up Jan. 31 at Beyer, 1717 Sylvan Ave. It will be held in the school "scramble" from 5 to 7 p.m. Cost is $10 adults, $8 students and $35 for a family of four. Tickets may be purchased at the door.


Raffe is a tall, muscular warrior with honey-blonde hair and pale gray eyes. His chameleon grin often belies the weight of responsibility that is reflected in the silver steaks beginning to show in the hairline above his ears and creases at the corners of his eyes.
He is no longer young, but moves with battle-tested strength and natural grace.
His armor is near pristine, polished with a deep glow. On his chest is the symbol of the Iron Order, three mailed fists clasped in a triangle.
Hanging from a thin chain around his neck is a silver ring engraved with '4/22' and on his left hand he wears the symbol of the eternal love shared with his bond-mate.

Local radio, as opposed to national media, is playing an important part of President Bush's campaign, according to a story in the New York Times this week.
"While the Bush campaign maintains a low profile on the national campaign stage – content for now to watch the Democrats beat on one another – it is aggressively working the expansive hosts of Republican-friendly talk radio, priming the grass roots faithful for battle next year," the newspaper reported.
U.S. presidents, the Times wrote, have used radio to reach voters virtually since its invention.

Between Age - De File
Between Age
We all have our songs, the ones we turn to like comfort food, the ones that make it right. And then there are the ones that move us because they're about not making it right, sonic underlining to our acknowledgment, however temporary, that the drop at the edge of the cliff is never going away, no matter how many trees we plant.
For most people, I suspect that it's the music that matters most. But I'm a lyrics man. Simon Frith once asked, with plenty of justification, "Why do songs have words?" I've been working on a response for over a decade, but all I've come up with is a lame, "For people like me, Simon."
Sure, I feel the music. But it's the words that pin me down fastest and longest. Ever since it came out -- June 24, 1999, if I'm not mistaken -- the song "Ann Don't Cry" off Pavement's final Terror Twilight album has been one of the two or three songs that run through my head most frequently.
At first, it was the opening lines: "The damage has been done/ I am not having fun anymore." I love the weighty pause between "done" and the start of the next line, which conveys the effort to scramble for an explanation. In what does "damage" consist? Why has it already been done? I'm equally taken with "anymore," which disrupts the neatness of the rhymed couplet and pushes the listener forward.
As the song presses on, the lyrics get less direct, more like the ones Pavement fans expect. The first-person speaker becomes unstable. Could he be switching back and forth between perspectives? Some of the most memorable lines sound like an effort to put on a brave face by playing the icy wit: "But your vocal display/Caught me off guard/ Cold, cold boy with American heart." It's like he's singing about his own singing.
For every moment like this, though, there are two or three in which the immediacy of the lyrical content makes postmodern irony seem like a poor defense strategy: "Tied, tied, tied to the tracks/Just remember the facts/Repeat until you're running aground." Although the first-person speaker may want to get surreal, he find himself tongue-tied, repeating himself when he should be moving on to richer lexical pastures.
At this point in "Ann Don't Cry," the music gradually takes over, as the repeating guitar figure that's been going since that first "anymore" struggles to keep danger -- represented by low guitar notes wobbling like a wet rubber band -- at bay. When the words return, with the refrain, "Ann, don't you cry," the danger disappears and an easy bass groove gradually asserts itself against that original guitar figure.
Then the lead guitar follows the singer, as he moves from "Don't you/Cry, Southern lover" to "Don't you/Believe in/What they say/Believe in/What they say/Believe in/What they/Believe in/What they/Believe in/What they/Say about me/Sweet Ann/Sweet Ann." The melody climbs to the second syllable of "believe," then cascades downward, getting cut off abruptly at "they" twice before the final drop to "say about me."
There are dozens of Pavement songs that revolve around a double-meaning, whether it's the ambiguity of pronunciation -- "career" or "Korea"? -- or the way enjambment struggles against the musical current, as it does here with the "don't" that's in danger of being forgotten by the time we hear the fourth or fifth "believe". Does he want those things to be believed after all?
It's fitting that the short coda following "Sweet Ann" provides no resolution. All we can hope for is more of the same. That's not a terrible prospect, mind you, since the song is pleasing to the ear. But the absence of a climax strikes me as more honest, not to mention troubling, than the indication of a way out would have. The perfect aspect of "has been done" indicates a possibility permanently foreclosed. "My heart is not a wide-open thing/I know," he sings towards the middle of the song. The present tense is telling. Maybe it was "wide-open" in the past, maybe not. But it's certainly not going to be that way again. The future only holds the prospect of a petering out, however graceful. The notes at the end descend from "believe" to resignation.
I'm sure there are lots of good songs about becoming middle-aged. "Ann Don't Cry" is the one for me, though. If you decide to check it out, be sure to listen on headphones for the maximum effect. This is music to swim around in, even if you end up going over the falls.

From: siyeh Date: September 27th, 2004 05:45 am (UTC) (LINK TO SPECIFIC ENTRY)
I was thinking not that long ago about why I find myself often not hearing lyrics to my favorite songs, despite my training in literature. All I can figure is that I was trained as a musician first, and all those years of arranging and writing and playing and obsessing over jazz, musicals, and everythign else possible made me only see the mathematics of chord progressions. I guess that must be it.
From: cbertsch Date: September 27th, 2004 06:17 am (UTC) (LINK TO SPECIFIC ENTRY)
That might be the reason. But lots of folks who didn't have the sort of experience also focus more on the music than the lyrics. My mother, for example, who spent much of her life singing in a chorus, but who even seems never to have heard most of the words in her favorites Smiths' songs -- yes, my mother had a thing for the Smiths, oddly -- despite the fact that they are almost impossible not to hear.
When you're into lyrics, I think you seek out music where they come to the fore and, however simple, resonate on repeated listenings. Prince's lyrics, even when they aren't about much -- or are only about sex, which is a "much," I suppose -- stick in the mind.
My favorite artists over the years from the Beatles (seventh grade) to the Police (ninth grade) to Bruce Springsteen (eleventh grade) to REM (twelfth grade) to the Violent Femmes (first year after high school) to Pavement (graduate school) to Wilco (late grad school to U of A) have little in common besides the fact that they have plenty with which to please lyric-focused listeners.
The music has to be great too, naturally. And I love all sorts of things where the lyrics are inconsequential, such as My Bloody Valentine, Mouse on Mars etc. But the bands I obsess over always seem to be the ones whose lyrics are running through my head day and night.

I've often wondered why most people prefer lyrical music. I much prefer instrumental. Mentioning having a song's lyrics in your head all day is the perfect reason I don't like lyrics. It's like something that controls my thinking, forcing me to think in a more specific way about music when I prefer to have my own thoughts about it and, form my own personal relationship with it. Well, forming a personal relationship might not be correct. Maybe I should say I form my own references to the music and the way we form memories that get triggered by some event or object. It's early, maybe I'm not thinking clearly yet but, I hope you get my drift.

That makes total sense. I have quotes floating around in my head all day anyway, though, so I don't mind if they happen to be from songs I love. At least there's the music to complicate matters!
When I'm writing, however, I prefer music without words: electronica, jazz, and baroque.
Thanks for writing. I like that cotton shot. We have lots of cotton here in Arizona, so the sight of the fields has become familiar for me.
I don't think I looked to see where you live. I like AZ and NM. I have good memories of driving thru there on route 66 when it was really used (1958-1966).
We're down in Pima County, far south of the old 66. But it's nice down here too. Lots of amazing slantlight and stars to die for.
Hard to believe you were around and conscious back then!

A friend of mine, a lifelong musician who continues making his living at his art, asked me recently what exactly I liked about Sleater-Kinney.
I tried to explain, but it's hard to put into words. I know that none of my attempted answers dealt with lyrics ... that seemed irrelevant. If I could verbalize the feeling I get when the entire band rushes to the end of "Youth Decay," that would explain it. But I can't verbalize that, anymore than I can verbalize what's going on in The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East.
I am trained in literature. But what I respond to first, before lyrics, is a sound. The first Clash album had been out for a couple of years before I saw a lyric sheet, and I sure didn't understand what Joe Strummer was saying until I saw those words on a page. Didn't prevent me from loving that album to death.
I like adrenaline-rush music, "I Heard Her Call My Name" by the Velvet Underground, music that makes you go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

North Rocks is a suburb in the Hills District within Greater Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, located 26 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district. Following the amalgamation of council areas in 2016, the majority of North Rocks falls into the council area of the City of Parramatta. Streets north of the M2 Hills Motorway are within The Hills Shire.

History
The name North Rocks dates back to the beginning of the settlement at Parramatta and is older even than the name of the city itself, which at first was called Rosehill. In 1789 Governor Phillip reserved large areas to the north and west of Rosehill for the use of Government stock - the present Northmead and Westmead. The reserve to the north was described as extending as far as 'the North Rocks'. The area was also known as Jerusalem Rocks.

North Rocks (Hunts and Darling Mills Creeks) was originally occupied by the Burramattagal clan (burra - eels and fish, matta – place of fresh running water) who were part of the Darug nation.

North Rocks was once considered as the haunt of convict bolters and bushrangers and regarded as an unsavoury area. One noted incident was the hold-up of Dr Sherwin in 1830 by John Macnamara and William Dalton, which resulted in the ex-convicts' demise.
The North Rocks were a massive sandstone outcrop, which terminated the ridge on the south side of Hunts Creek. These rocks so dominated the landscape and were such prominent features that they gave their name to the locality but were not preserved. In 1841 when it was decided to build a new gaol at Parramatta, a contractor bought the Rocks as they consisted of the best sandstone in the district - and were very conveniently situated. His tender was accepted, and much of the North Rocks became gaol walls and flagstones in 1844. Further inroads were made on what was left when the wall of masonry was erected in 1855-56 which held back the waters of Lake Parramatta. Much stone was needed for the dam, as the wall is about  long and is fifteen feet thick at the base.

A North Rocks Post Office first opened on 1 February 1894; it was renamed Forrester later that year, Maraylya in 1921 and closed in 1970. The current Post Office opened on 1 November 1921.

Prior to North Rocks being rezoned around 1958, it housed around 40 farms, including peach and nectarine orchards, poultry farms and piggeries. When the area was rezoned, one of many new housing estates was named Lynwood Estate.

Commercial area

North Rocks Shopping Centre and the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children school are located around North Rocks Road. The shopping centre was constructed during the 1970s and features a Coles Supermarket and Kmart discount department store and more than 70 speciality shops.  It was a Westfield Group operation until 2015, when it was sold to Challenger for $127 million. Beside the shopping centre, there is an Aldi supermarket, Anytime Fitness and First Choice Liquor. A small group of shops is also located on the opposite side, around the intersection of North Rocks Road and Lawndale Avenue.

North Rocks Markets, a trash and treasure market, is run every Sunday by the local Rotary Club by gold coin donation at the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children. The market incorporates a variety of stalls covering new and second-hand items, food, and a computer market and has operated at various locations in the area over 20 years.

There is a light industrial area towards North Parramatta in the area around Loyalty Road, which includes industrial businesses such as Unilever, Rexona and Officeworks and many other businesses in various industrial estates.

Transport

At the 2016 census, only 16.8% of employed people travelled to work on public transport and 69.1% by car (either as a driver or as a passenger).

The M2 Hills Motorway runs through North Rocks, and there is access to the motorway from Barclay Road in North Rocks, Pennant Hills Road in Carlingford and Windsor Road in Baulkham Hills. Public transport to, from and throughout the area is provided by bus.

Train

North Rocks does not have a railway station. However, train services are accessible from nearby Epping, Castle Hill and Parramatta railway stations.

Bus
The Barclay Road M2 Bus Station provides services to the City and Castle Hill as well as services to Macquarie Park, Blacktown and Norwest Business Park. The Barclay Road M2 bus to the city takes 22 minutes. Sydney Buses provides links from Parramatta railway station to Epping railway station through different parts of North Rocks, although both converge at North Rocks Shopping Centre. There are also very limited services to Beecroft railway station.

Schools

Public
 North Rocks Public School (which has an Opportunity Class);
Burnside Public School;
 Muirfield High School is a comparatively small high school with around 850 students. A defining feature of the school is its agricultural program run out of the Barclay farm. Muirfield has run an agricultural display at the Castle Hill Show since 1992. In 2006 the school won the award for Best School Display. Issues arising from drought resulted in the School withdrawing from the show in 2007. In 2010 Muirfield High School was invited to participate in the first Sydney Royal Easter Show Schools Fruit and Vegetable Display, where the school was awarded 2nd place.

Sport and recreation
Public services in the suburb include a number of large reserves (such as Hunts Creek Reserve, which features Balaka Falls, a scenic waterfall), sporting facilities, a community centre, and a number of schools, and an active Rotary and Lions clubs as well as Scout & Girl Guide groups. North Rocks also boasts Muirfield Golf Club, a picturesque and parkland style 18-hole Golf Course and club facilities on Barclay Road. There are also local softball, soccer, rugby clubs and the Murri-Yanna Track in Bidjigal Reserve which can be accessed from Whitbread Place. North Rocks was also the host to the 1976 Skateboard Winter Olympics.

Parks and reserves
North Rocks features a number of parks and reserves, such as the Bidjigal Reserve, which includes a towering eucalypt forest, weathered sandstone cliffs, sparkling creeks and sheltered rainforest gullies which surrounds the north and west periphery of the North Rocks border. Fauna includes koala, swamp wallaby, echidna, sugar gliders and eastern water dragon. Platypus were regularly seen up until the installation of the sewer in the mid-1970s, but none since. The diversity of birds is well known in Bidjigal Reserve with 127 species being documented. Rare insectivorous species such as wrens and thornbills have been recorded and the more common species of kookaburras and crimson rosellas seem to be doing well. In recent years, there has also been an increase in numbers of sulphur-crested cockatoos and rainbow lorikeets. The powerful owl, Australia's largest owl also breeds in the reserve and can be heard hooting throughout North Rocks at night. Many of these bird species can be seen throughout North Rocks.

Demographics

The 2016 census conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports the population of North Rocks as 7,965 residents, with 3,863 males and 4,100 females. The demographic breakdowns show that:

 Age distribution North Rocks residents' median age was 41 years, compared to the national median of 38. Children aged 0–14 years made up 20.5% of the population (national average is 18.7%) and people aged 65 years and over made up 18.2% of the population (national average is 15.7%).
 Ethnic diversity 62.0% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were China 8.7%, South Korea 3.1%, England 2.8%, India 2.0% and Hong Kong 1.9%.  The most common ancestries in North Rocks were English 20.1%, Australian 19.4%, Chinese 14.9%, Irish 6.8% and Scottish 5.5%.  62.0% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Mandarin 9.7%, Cantonese 6.5%, Korean 4.0% and Arabic 1.9%.
 Religion The most common responses for religion were Catholic 26.6%, No Religion 25.5% and Anglican 14.2%,
 Income The average weekly household income was $2,131, compared to the national average of $1,438.
 Housing The great majority (90.2%) of private dwellings were separate houses; another 7.7% were semi-detached (townhouses etc.), and 1.7% were flats, units or apartments.  Most are either owned outright (41.9%) or owned with a mortgage (42.4%), while only 14.0% were rented.  The average household size was 3 people.

May 11. Starting at noon there are a series of events!
Our main events are a Half Marathon Run, 12K Run, 5K Run/Walk and a Kids Fun Run (12 and under) sponsored by the YMCA.


Same thing happened to me once I started replaying the game. Everything disappeared, the prompt buttons, the aim (making it near impossible to play), the triangle symbol is also gone for me.
Do I have to restart the whole game or what? This is a very annoying glitch/bug.


We just finished this book called "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. It is not a new book, it's been out for a few years, but we are just hitting the appropriate age for my son to read it. The book is about a boy entering 5th grade named August Pullman who describes himself this way, "I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse." Because of multiple surgeries and illnesses, he has not been able to attend school, but his parents decide to he is ready attend school at Beecher Prep in 5th grade. The uniqueness of this book is that you hear about August's 5th grade year from his perspective as well as from many of his peers and his sister. Each section is told from a different person's perspective which allows you to see this whole story from many angles.
It's a beautiful genuine look inside August's mind & heart as a kid that has always been considered different. It's a hard authentic look inside the minds & hearts of his family & his peers at Beecher Prep as they struggle with peer pressure in school, and having empathy and compassion for others. All in all, it's such a wonderful redeeming story that I think all kids should read as they head into middle and high school years where this internal battle gets even more difficult.
Reading it together or letting your kid read it on their own is a personal decision, either way I think it's a great book for parents and kids to process together, so I suggest you both read it. If your child is on the younger side (8-11 years old), I would suggest you read it together as some of the things that happen are just pure "meanness" and I found with my son, he was sad or hurt by what was happening to Auggie and needed to process it with me. Older kids might want to read it on their own and then talk through it with you later. As I read this with my son, he opened up to me about things he is seeing at school and it led to many wonderful conversations that I'm so thankful for.
I could go on for days about how wonderful this book is and the great lessons it teaches about kindness, but I want you to read it for yourself.
Also cool fact, there is a movie based on this book coming out in early 2017 with Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts, I hope the beautifulness of this book translates well on the big screen, it deserves to be done well!
There are 3 books in the series. "Wonder", "Auggie & Me" and "365 Days of Wonder", they all look amazing, we are working our way through the rest of the series.

Join UCSF Archives & Special Collections for the exhibit opening and reception of "HIV: A Plague of Violence Against Women". This exhibit features a collection of photo montages by Arthur J. Ammann, M.D., a pediatric immunologist and advocate known for his research on HIV transmission and his role in the development of the first successful vaccine to prevent pneumococcal infection in 1977. Dr. Ammann is also the founder of Global Strategies (http://www.globalstrategies.org/) , a nonprofit organization that serves women and children in the most neglected areas of the world where he witnessed not one but two epidemics affecting women —sexual and physical violence and HIV.
Through his surrealist lens, Dr. Ammann's photo montages document the suffering he witnessed during his time working with HIV infected women in Africa. The world of art has been a refuge for Dr. Ammann since his childhood. The creations of great artists spoke to him about the unrelenting violence against women, the struggle between good and evil, and the valley of the shadow of death. Paintings by Blake, Bosch, Giotto, Kahlo, Munch, Caravaggio, Titian, Dali, Freud, Nerdrum, and Picasso, resonated with what he felt from his experiences.
For over a decade he put the images together, took them apart, and put them together again. The title of each photo montage is accompanied by a quote or words, many derived from the stories women told. These images are a collective demand that "Violence against women must be stopped."
Dr. Ammann with collagues
The exhibit is also a call to action for Dr. Ammann: "We must never accept violence and injustice nor ignore its enduring wounds. We can create new voices and images for advocacy. We can move to repair the physical, emotional, and spiritual scars that remain. We can provide inexpensive and easy to use medicines to prevent the complications of rape―HIV, other sexually transmitted infections, and unwanted pregnancy."
We invite you to explore this visually arresting exhibit in support of Dr. Ammann's efforts to end violence against women.

NEH awards leading San Francisco institutions $315,000 to digitize AIDS archives
Posted on April 17, 2017 by Polina Ilieva
The Archives and Special Collections department of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Library, in collaboration with the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender (GLBT) Historical Society, has been awarded a $315,000 implementation grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The collaborating institutions will digitize about 127,000 pages from 49 archival collections related to the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the San Francisco Bay Area and make them widely accessible to the public online. In the process, collections whose components had been placed in different archives for various reasons will be digitally reunited, facilitating access for researchers outside the Bay Area.
The 24-month project, "The San Francisco Bay Area's Response to the AIDS Epidemic: Digitizing, Reuniting, and Providing Universal Access to Historical AIDS Records" will commence on July 1, 2017. The 127,000 pages from the three archives range from handwritten correspondence and notebooks to typed reports and agency records to printed magazines. Also included are photographic prints, negatives, transparencies, and posters. The materials will be digitized by the University of California, Merced Library's Digital Assets Unit, which has established a reputation for digitizing information resources so that they can be made available to the world via the web. All items selected for digitization will be carefully examined to address any privacy concerns. The digital files generated by this project will be disseminated broadly through the California Digital Library, with the objects freely accessible to the public through both Calisphere, operated by the University of California, and the Digital Public Library of America, which will have an AIDS history primary sources set.
"A digital repository of 127,000 pages from 49 collections from these three institutions not only allows the collections to 'speak' to one another in novel ways, but makes them accessible to a broad array of audiences. Within academia, historians of medicine and public health will be joined by sociologists and historians of gender, sexuality, and journalism, for starters. They will be eager to make such remarkable primary source materials available to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students alike. But such materials have a far wider potential audience," said Scott H. Podolsky, M.D., Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for the History of Medicine at the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine.
Haipeng Li, University Librarian, University of California, Merced Library stated that "the UC Merced Library is very pleased to be partnering on this project, which builds upon our long-standing collaboration with UCSF Library to digitize rare and unique materials in the health sciences. Our students and researchers, especially those involved in UC Merced's growing public health program, will benefit from wider access to the AIDS history materials and I am sure the experience and expertise of our staff will enable them to contribute significantly to the success of the project."
The AIDS epidemic became one of the most significant public-health events of the late-twentieth century, continuing into the twenty-first. San Francisco was particularly hard hit by AIDS, in part because, by the early 1980s, it had become a welcoming place for gay men who moved from throughout the country and around the world to experience a flourishing community. This same diaspora also fueled, early on in the crisis, the development of unique community-based organizations (CBOs) to care for the sick and dying. At the same time, the AIDS crisis engendered unprecedented modes of political activism. Desperate people with HIV/AIDS and their allies hoping for a cure, held protests and sit-ins at medical conferences and became respected colleagues in the search for effective treatments while demanding early access to therapies, shaking up the staid world of medical research. Art and literature, too, most notably the AIDS Quilt, were created out of the grief and loss caused by the epidemic. Beginning in the mid-1980s, San Francisco witnessed the development of a highly effective collaborative network of city and state agencies, hospitals, health care providers, and CBOs that, through a goal of putting patients first, became known as the "San Francisco model" of compassionate AIDS care.
"The early years of the AIDS epidemic are just over the historical horizon for many who will themselves be forced to wrestle with issues of disease stigmatization and the blurred domains between medicine and society. These are our future patients, clinicians, politicians, and policymakers alike. It is thus important that such collections – documenting a central, if difficult, part of our nation's history – be exposed to as wide a public as possible," said Podolsky.
In the late 1980s, UCSF initiated, with the GLBT Historical Society and other Bay Area archives, the AIDS History Project, addressing the need to forge relationships between historians and the AIDS community to document and preserve the lessons and experience of the AIDS epidemic. Today UCSF, the GLBT Historical Society, and SFPL archivists have selected collections from each archive that will contribute to an understanding of the medical, social, and political processes that merged to develop effective means of treating those with AIDS, educate the public about HIV, create social support organizations for those who were often shunned by family, and advocate for a community that was dying at an alarming rate.
Terry Beswick, Executive Director of the GLBT Historical Society explained, "We were founded in 1985 in San Francisco, at a time when it was becoming increasingly apparent that AIDS was threatening the historical memory of the LGBTQ community. In fact, we lost many of our founders and supporters to AIDS – and many are living with HIV today. That's why this project is especially important to us. AIDS and, more importantly, the San Francisco Bay Area's response to the epidemic, have been both the catalyst for our formation and one of our main historical influences."
"The San Francisco Public Library houses both the City and County of San Francisco city archives and the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center, the first research center for GLBT collections in a public library in the country. In its role as the repository of the city archives, the library receives collections from politicians, including mayors, as well as from city departments, many addressing policy decisions and the creation of the "San Francisco model" in response to the devastation of the AIDS epidemic," said Luis Herrera, San Francisco City Librarian. "Not only will the proposed collaborative project allow greater access to primary source materials that are located only in San Francisco, but it will ensure that these items are digitally preserved for long lasting use. We also welcome the opportunity to "reunite" collections that were given to multiple institutions in separate donations over time or from different donors."
"Rarely in the history of human societies has there been an opportunity to capture information in real time about a new disease that became a pandemic. The story is multi-focal: the medical response, the cultural response, the political response, and the caregiving response", said Victoria A. Harden, Founding Director Emerita, Office of NIH History.
Providing online access to the digital archival collections will benefit a diverse group of users, including scholars in disciplines such as history, literature, medicine, jurisprudence, journalism, and sociology; college and university students in an equally broad range of fields; media outlets; and members of the general public.
"It is wonderful to think that a future researcher could, at the click of a button, shift quickly from Shilts's book to his handwritten interview notes, to Selma Dritz's slides about venereal disease, to the diary pages of Daniel Turner or Bobbi Campbell, or to the administrative records of the institutions involved – records which are currently geographically distant, despite having been tightly connected thematically in the past," said Richard A. McKay, D.Phil., a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge.
The project team has established a five-member Advisory Board that will be available to consult with project team members as needed to asses and resolve issues related to sensitive materials in the collections. Members include:
Barbara A. Koenig, PhD, RN, Professor of Medical Anthropology & Bioethics in the Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences, Institute for Health & Aging and Head of UCSF Bioethics Program
Phoebe Evans Letocha, Collections Management Archivist at Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions
Jeffrey Reznick, PhD, chief, History of Medicine division at National Library of Medicine
Paul Volberding, Professor of Medicine, UCSF; Director, AIDS Research Institute; Director, Global Health Sciences Research; Co-Director, UCSF-GIVI Center for AIDS Research
Elizabeth Watkins, PhD, UCSF Dean of the Graduate Division, Vice Chancellor – Student Academic Affairs, and Professor in the Department of Anthropology, History, and Social Medicine
"UCSF and affiliated faculty and staff including those at Zuckerberg San Francisco General, played a leading role in responding to the horrendous HIV epidemic. The experiences of that response and the lessons learned that can help guide future challenges demand we collect and preserve documents from those early days." said Paul Volberding, Director, AIDS Research Institute; Director, Global Health Sciences Research; Co-Director, UCSF-GIVI Center for AIDS Research. "We are thrilled that the UCSF Archives along with our partners at the SF Public Library and the GLBT Historical Society has received grant funding to support this process. We are certain that this archive will be a powerful research tool for historians as they help us better understand our contributions. The UCSF AIDS Research Institute is eager to do all we can to help this vital resource."
At the conclusion of the project, public access to the materials will be launched in a variety of ways. The availability on Calisphere and Digital Public Library of America will be promoted online, and the content of the collection will be explored through exhibits and public programs at each of the collaborating institutions, including at UC Merced. Finally, to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the 1989 "AIDS and the Historian" conference, a national conference on the history of the response to the AIDS epidemic will be presented in San Francisco.
"NEH provides support for projects across America that preserve our heritage, promote scholarly discoveries, and make the best of America's humanities ideas available to all Americans," said NEH Chairman William D. Adams. "We are proud to announce this latest group of grantees who, through their projects and research, will bring valuable lessons of history and culture to Americans."

New Accessions Spotlight (or My Cluttered Desk)
Posted on March 30, 2017 by duhlich
It's been a busy start to spring here at UCSF A&SC: new events and exhibits coming up, lots of researchers, and of course many new collections. As is prone to happen during times like these, there is a pile of new materials sitting on my desk, just waiting for me to enter into our database and (eventually) our library catalog. Here are a few that I am particularly excited about:
Clark Sturges papers (MSS 2017-09)
Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, we recently were given the papers of Clark Sturges that relate to his profile of Dr. David E. Smith. Smith founded the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in 1967 in response to the medical needs of many of the young people who came to San Francisco during the Summer of Love. Sturges completed the book in 1993, and the papers are composed mainly of taped interviews, research notes, and correspondence.
Steven Deeks papers (MSS 2017-10)
Another recent acquisition is the papers of Dr. Steven Deeks. The Deeks papers are primarily concerned with his involvement in the controversial baboon bone marrow transplant to an AIDS patient in 1995. While the transplant was not successful, it illustrates the sense of desperation of people with AIDS at that time–and also the highly innovative approaches that UCSF and SFGH doctors and researchers were taking at that time to combat the disease.
Mark Jacobson papers (MSS 2017-12)
Finally, another collection that recently found its way to my desk is the papers of Dr. Mark Jacobson. The Jacobson papers are a hodgepodge of different materials, including calendars, index cards with patient symptoms and medication, a multitude of electronic records (including his PalmPilot), and this Triomune 30 box, which he picked up on a trip overseas. Dr. Jacobson also gave us a substantial number of books for our burgeoning AIDS History collection, and recently wrote a novel based upon his experiences that mentions the patient index cards in its foreword.

NHPRC awarded a grant to UCSF Archives and Special Collections
Posted on January 17, 2017 by Polina Ilieva
UCSF Archives and Special Collections (A&SC) is pleased to announce it has been awarded a 2016 National Historical Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC) grant from the National Archives in support of the project, Evolution of San Francisco's Response to a Public Health Crisis: Providing Access to New AIDS History Collections, an expansion of the AIDS History Project (AHP).
The project will greatly expand the historical record of San Francisco's broad-based response to the AIDS public health crisis, and make discoverable and accessible by a wide audience a new corpus of materials related to the evolution of that response. These collections reveal breakthroughs in containing the AIDS epidemic and treating AIDS patients that were made possible by the collaborative efforts of educators, researchers, clinicians, and community advocates. The collections included in this grant are interconnected and form a unique body of research materials.
Dr. Selma Dritz, ca. 1982. MSS 2001-04.
The $86,258 award will aid in creating and making accessible detailed finding aids for seven recently acquired collections comprising a total of 373 linear feet. These collections range from the research files of science writer Laurie Garrett and the papers of Drs. Don Francis and John Greenspan of UCSF and Selma Dritz of San Francisco's Department of Public Health, to the records of two UCSF entities, the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies and the AIDS Health Project, and files from the early and pioneering publication AIDS Treatment News, produced by community activist John James. Diverse audiences will benefit from having access to the archival collections comprising this new project. They include scholars and students in disciplines such as history, literature, medicine, jurisprudence, journalism, and sociology,and members of the general public pursuing individual areas of interest, especially younger members of the GLBT community who seek a better understanding of this important period in history.
Page from the UCSF AIDS Health Project records, AR 2007–14.
A small portion of the collections will be digitized and made accessible online. This 18-month project will commence on March 1, 2017.
A&SC would like to thank the National Historical Publications & Records Commission, the UCSF AIDS Research Institute, the California Historical Records Advisory Board, and other supporters for their help with this proposal.

Collage of lab data on first patients in 1981, MMWR report and 1982 San Francisco Chronicle article on first blood transfusion AIDS
Beginning in 1981 researchers at UCSF defined some of the most important features of the emerging AIDS epidemic – the cause of AIDS, the clinical features of AIDS, populations at risk for HIV infection, methods to prevent and treat HIV, and discovery of HIV. Working closely with community activists, advocates, scientists and policy makers, UCSF distinguished itself as a model of successful collaboration. The first discovery of AIDS in infants and children and blood transfusion associated AIDS at UCSF were instrumental in defining the extent of the epidemic. The scientific advances in HIV/AIDS that occurred over the next two decades were remarkable resulting in the near eradication of HIV in infants in the US and transforming an acute and fatal infection in adults to a chronic and manageable one. But even as these advances occurred benefiting many millions of people worldwide, women and children were too often excluded, resulting in a global epidemic that is now composed of over 50% women and children and a secondary epidemic of AIDS-related orphans that numbers in the tens of millions.
Arthur J. Ammann, M.D.
Arthur J. Ammann, M.D., is a founder of Global Strategies, a nonprofit organization that serves women and children in the most neglected areas of the world and Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at UCSF.
From 1971 to 1985, Dr. Ammann was Director of Pediatric Immunology and Clinical Research Center at the UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco. In 1977, Dr. Ammann's clinical trials of a pneumococcal vaccine resulted in the first FDA approval of a vaccine for bacterial pneumonia and meningitis in children and adults. In 1982 Dr. Ammann described two of the three ways that HIV is transmitted including the first cases of transmission of AIDS from mother to infant and the first blood transfusion associated AIDS patients.
Dr. Ammann has received honors from more than 60 national and international organizations including the United States Surgeon General Award for Research and Heroes in Medicine Award by the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care.
Dr. Ammann has authored over 300 scientific papers which have appeared in major medical journals. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Wheaton College (1958) and a doctor of medicine degree from New Jersey College of Medicine (1962). He received residency training from the department of pediatrics at UCSF and fellowship training in immunology from the University of Minnesota Medical Center and the University of Wisconsin Medical Center.
Dr. Ammann's oral history,"Pediatric AIDS Immunologist: Advocate for the Children" is accessible online and at the UCSF Library.

UCSF Archives Lecture Series: Lessons at UCSF from the Early AIDS Epidemic, April 16, 2014
Join us on Wednesday, April 16th for a special program featuring prominent UCSF faculty. This is the second lecture in a series launched by UCSF Archives & Special Collections.
Learning from Our History: Lessons at UCSF from the Early AIDS Epidemic
UCSF played a leading role in the early response to the AIDS epidemic. UCSF faculty and staff helped create important models of care, made many key discoveries into the nature of the disease and its management, and faced the many emotional and ethical burdens at a time when personal safety could not be assured in patient care. This event will be less a lecture and more a conversation of those early days with four prominent UCSF faculty members, each of whom were present and active from the very first days of what would become a massive epidemic. They will offer their own perspectives on this history and engage with each other and the audience in this program.
Presenters: Drs. John Greenspan, Paul Volberding, Molly Cooke, Jay Levy (UCSF) Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
This lecture is free and open to the public. Information on how to sign up or donate to AIDS Walk San Francisco will be available before and after this event. AIDS Walk San Francisco benefits HIV/AIDS programs and services throughout the Bay Area, including some at UCSF.

UCSF Archives Acquires Laurie Garrett Papers
Posted on February 28, 2014 by Polina Ilieva
Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist and researcher, recently donated her papers to the UCSF Archives and Special Collections. Ms. Garrett is the only writer to have been awarded all three of the Big "Ps" of journalism: the Peabody, the Polk, and the Pulitzer.
Ms. Garrett is the best-selling author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance (1994) and Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (2000). Her latest book is I Heard the Sirens Scream: How Americans Responded to the 9/11 and Anthrax Attacks (2011). She graduated with honors in biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, attended graduate school in the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology at the University of California, Berkeley, and did laboratory research at Stanford University with Dr. Leonard Herzenberg. During her PhD studies, Ms. Garrett started reporting on science news at KPFA, a local radio station. This hobby soon became far more interesting than graduate school, and she took a leave of absence to explore journalism. In 1980, she joined National Public Radio, working out of the network's bureaus in San Francisco and, later, Los Angeles as a science correspondent. In 1988, Ms. Garrett left NPR to join the science writing staff of Newsday. Her Newsday reporting has earned several awards: Award of Excellence from the National Association of Black Journalists (for "AIDS in Africa," 1989), First Place from the Society of Silurians (for "Breast Cancer," 1994), and the Bob Considine Award of the Overseas Press Club of America (for "AIDS in India," 1995). Since 2004, Laurie Garrett has been a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Ms. Garrett was awarded doctorates Honoris Causa by three universities: Illinois Wesleyan University, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and Georgetown University.
The Laurie Garrett papers consist predominantly of the research files used by Ms. Garrett in the writing of her two books, The Coming Plague and Betrayal of Trust. They contain numerous drafts and published newspaper and magazine articles, including her Pulitzer Prize-winning 1996 series printed in Newsday, chronicling the Ebola virus outbreak in Zaire. Also included are a series of 25 articles, "Crumbled Empire, Shattered Health," on the AIDS epidemic and public health crisis in the former Soviet Union that received the George Polk Award for Foreign Reporting in 1997. This collection encompasses a wealth of primary resources consisting of correspondence, interviews, photographs, and ephemera, including HIV/AIDS-related posters from around the world. A sizable part of the collection includes research materials, interviews and notebooks (that will be transferred to the archives at a later date) from the time when Laurie Garrett was a science correspondent for NPR, Newsday, and wrote for the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, among many other publications.
These papers also contain secondary source materials such as complete publishing runs of AIDS Weekly, AIDS Newsletter, and AIDS Treatment News, scholarly papers, conference abstracts, reports, and promotional materials.
This sizable collection consisting of more than 150 linear feet spans from the mid-1970s to 2013. It documents a broad array of subjects related to global health, newly emerging and re-emerging diseases –primarily the HIV/AIDS epidemic, SARS, avian flu, Ebola, Anthrax, and influenza – and their effects on foreign policy, national security, and bio-terrorism.
Laurie Garrett gave a lecture at Toland Hall on UCSF campus on February 21, 2014
The Laurie Garrett papers are a major acquisition for the UCSF archives and it will enhance several existing areas of collecting, in particular history of HIV/AIDS epidemic, infectious and chronic diseases, and global and public health. UCSF is considered one of the preeminent repositories of AIDS-related materials and Ms. Garrett's collection complements papers from the AIDS History project that began in 1987 as a joint effort of historians, archivists, AIDS activists, health care providers, and others to secure historically significant resources about the response to the AIDS crisis in San Francisco. For more than thirty years since Ms. Garrett started covering the outbreak in San Francisco (even before it became publicly known that a virus was responsible), she has been collecting materials on the evolution of the HIV pandemic. Her vast and comprehensive files contain information on many topics including the social origins and history of HIV/AIDS; HIV drugs; President Reagan's and Clinton's AIDS policies as well as detailed HIV/AIDS information on many different countries. Her extensive writings and files on the subject of public health mesh well with the materials from the Philip Randolph Lee and Harold S. Luft papers already preserved in the UCSF archives.
The availability of these materials for research will help advance the study and teaching of the health sciences, and allow further analysis of how medical discoveries were presented and described to a broader audience. The papers of Ms. Garrett, a gifted and internationally recognized author and investigative reporter, will serve as a source of inspiration for novice and experienced medical and science writers and journalists.
The Laurie Garrett papers were officially unveiled during the special presentation she gave at UCSF on February 21, 2014.
