Q: How does a pressurized filter and pump system work? – Jill of Massachusetts
A: Below is the path that water travels in a pressurized filterand pump system:
1. With the filter connected to the pump, water enters the unit through a water inlet.
2. Water then passes along an integrated UV lamp, where it is exposed to ultraviolet rays that inhibit the growth of planktonic algae (green water algae) organisms. (This can also happen at a later step depending on the pressurized filter you use)
3. It then passes through the mechanical & biological filtration stage, consisting of foam filters that intercept and trap dirt and debris. Also, beneficial bacteria will harbor here to help keep the water healthy.
4. Filtered water finally returns to the pond and the process is repeated.

Hi guys, I'm a complete mapping nub!
This is my first ever map, so it's pretty bad. Basically it's what I used to learn radiant.
I would really appreciate any feedback at all, especially the hard truths about my fails. Please be brutal.
But, tbh, I'm so sick of this map... I'm anxious to sart a new project with what I've learned.
It doesn't have any hinting; it has very basic lighting, horrible textures (all default from UrT), bad clipping, and no bot support.
It has well placed spawns, bombsites, cah locs, and target_location's. It also has my own skybox, and tons of black rayne models.

Car Scrappage – Voluntary Accelerated Vehicle Retirement
This page last reviewed May 13, 2015
California s updated voluntary vehicle retirement program is now available. The program is administered by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and provides $1,000 per vehicle and $1,500 for low-income consumers for unwanted vehicles that have FAILED their last Smog Check Test and that meet certain eligibility guidelines. For more information, visit the Consumer Assistance Program website. or call BAR at (866) 272-9642.
Voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement or car scrap programs provide monetary incentives to vehicle owners to retire older, more polluting vehicles. The purpose of these programs is to reduce fleet emissions by accelerating the turnover of the existing fleet and subsequent replacement with newer, cleaner vehicles. Reducing emissions from the existing fleet is a component of California s State Implementation Plan, which outlines the State s strategy for meeting health-based ambient air quality standards. Both State and local vehicle retirement programs are available.
The State s recently enhanced Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) was developed by the ARB in consultation with BAR and provides $1,000 per vehicle and $1,500 for low-income consumers for unwanted vehicles that have FAILED their last Smog Check Test. For information on the development of the new program, visit ARB s Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program website. For information on CAP, visit the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) website or call BAR at (800) 952-5210.
Local voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement (VAVR) programs are also available for vehicles that have PASSED their most recent Smog Check or are not subject to the Smog Check requirement. Administration of a VAVR program is entirely optional. As such, check ARB's VAVR website for more information related to district programs and to see if your district offers one.
ARB Contact Information
The ARB does not administer car scappage programs. The ARB is responsible for developing the regulations that provide guidelines to BAR and the local air districts that choose to administer VAVR programs.

A review of Netflix's brilliant Mindhunter.
Of all the lonely ways to spend money, paying for phone sex strikes me as the most pathetic. A prostitute is really there. A phone sex companion is only a soundtrack for masturbation, and the man who needs one must have a desperate lack of imagination.
Equally depressing to me are some of the reviews received by "For a Good Time, Call…," the story of two former college enemies who team up as phone sexers and become gal pals. "Enough laughs and goodwill to be disarmingly entertaining," I read in one review. "A feel-good raunch-com," says another. I quote them as a public service, since one male reviewer thinks women could like this movie enough to come back a second time "and bring their boyfriends."
I wouldn't want to be one of those boyfriends. I'm not objecting to the movie on grounds of taste but because it is stupid, vulgar, crass and mercilessly formulaic. On second thought, maybe I am objecting on grounds of taste. It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius. Shortly after Mel Brooks released "The Producers" (1968), I was in an elevator with him when a woman said, "Your film was nothing but vulgar." Brooks regarded her sternly. "Madam," he said, "my film rises below vulgarity."
The story involves Lauren and Katie (Lauren Miller and Ari Graynor), who have hated each other ever since a college-party malfunction involving urine. Now Lauren is desperate when her boyfriend (James Wolk) announces he is moving to Italy and orders her to leave their apartment immediately. Meanwhile, Katie faces eviction from her late grandmother's rent-controlled luxury apartment overlooking Gramercy Park. Their needs are matched up by a mutual best friend from college named Jesse (Justin Long), who is gay, fulfilling the unwritten requirement that any male capable of being the best friend of two women at the same time must be gay, because a straight man cannot be best friends with more than one female, at most.
Even under rent control, an apartment overlooking Gramercy Park is far from cheap, and Katie has been making ends meet, so to speak, by inspiring orgasms over the phone. Lauren is shocked, but it's amazing how being a roommate can broaden your standards, and soon she graduates from doing the books to performing on the instruments herself.
We see a few of their pitiful customers, played by Seth Rogen (who is Miller's husband in real life) and Kevin Smith, who doesn't seem to require the Method to play his role. There's also a scene where Lauren's parents (Mimi Rogers and Don McManus) drop in unexpectedly and find two enormous dildos on the coffee table. At least I hope to God they're enormous. One is black and the other looks like it may have been inspired by Shrek.
The Little Movie Glossary requires that all sexcoms must end with at least one example of sincere romance. Considering that Jesse is gay, the only possible candidate for this obligatory role has to be one of the clients. I can understand sincere romance between a prostitute and a client, because, like, they're both in the room, right? But if your dating pool consists of the clients for a phone sex service, that suggests right away these guys may be lacking in social skills.
I dunno. The screenplay by Miller and Katie Anne Naylon excels in its mastery of filthy talk, which is delivered with such velocity and mastery that the movie shows every sign of considering it funny. The performances by Miller and Graynor are high-spirited enough that you yearn to see them in worthier material. The potential is there. If there's anything more seductive to Manhattanites than sex, it's a cheap apartment overlooking Gramercy Park.

N.D. Lawmakers Eye 'Personhood' Bills To Ban All Abortions
March 19, 2013 — Shortly after advancing two of the most restrictive abortion measures (HB 1456, HB 1305) in the nation, North Dakota lawmakers are considering banning all abortions through a pair of "personhood" bills that would grant legal rights to fertilized eggs, the AP/Grand Forks Herald reports.
If either of the latest measures were enacted, North Dakota would become the first state to enshrine into law the notion that legal rights should begin at conception. Neither measure would allow exceptions for abortions in cases of rape or incest.
One of the bills (SB 2303) is a proposed state law, while the second (ND 4009) would place a resolution on the state ballot that would become part of the state constitution if approved by voters.
The state Senate passed the measures in February, and the House could consider them as soon as Tuesday. Abortion-rights supporters have pledged to fight the legislation in court if necessary.
Physicians Voice Concerns About Criminalization
Physicians in North Dakota have condemned the bills as an intrusion into their medical decisions and the doctor-patient relationship. The North Dakota Medical Association is opposed to the legislation, and a group of medical students from the University of North Dakota's medical school also spoke out against it.
At a news conference with physicians on Monday, Stephanie Dahl -- an infertility specialist -- said the measures could ban in vitro fertilization and compel physicians to leave the state, rather than maneuver around restrictions and potentially face criminal penalties.
Steffen Christensen -- founder of an IVF clinic in the state -- said, "The concern is that this is criminal negligence if anything should happen to an embryo."
In response, state Sen. Margaret Sitte (R) said the legislation was specifically worded to allow exceptions for the "screening, collecting, preparing, transferring, or cryopreserving a human being created through in vitro fertilization for the purpose of being transferred to a human uterus" (Kolpack, AP/Grand Forks Herald, 3/18).

I can say, It's about time to kick some new ass!
I personally am Psyched to finally hear the release date.
I just hope they looked at Morrowind for this one, the levelling system in Oblivion was shit.

They threw away the old engine used in the older games, so the game uses an entirely new system which makes it very interesting to me. Well I liked the Elder Scroll games no matter how buggy and all that but still this will turn out to be a very interesting game (no more spasaming corpses if you drop them in the doorway and close it). The trailer doesn't reflect much, so we'll have to wait. It will take place after Oblivion that's for sure. In b4 you wake up in a boat or jail again XD
I still haven't finished Oblivion though, I've kept my save file after half a year of playing I might finish it soon. I am currently preparing for DA2 though and still busy on New Vegas
edit: it is still unclear if it uses the new engine or an updated Gamebryo

The game is set to release on November - 11 - 2011.
I am personally Psyched to go to Skyrim, as I've wanted to go there since Bloodmoon in Elder Scrolls III.
I LOVE snow, and I hope to see much of it in the next instalment.
Together with some nice Bruma / Viking / Norse buildings and architecture.
This could be a smashingly good game if they just base it off of Morrowind and not make it piss easy like Oblivion (seriously, a QUEST COMPASS? Who the hell needs that, 10 year olds?)
I hope they also get rid of the random shitloot you get whenever you went into a dungeon in Oblivion.
Tired of going in a super hard dungeon fighting for my life to finally reach the ultimate treasure chest only to find inside an old Cheese Cartwheel, some Repair hammers and an old sweaty sock.
Where's my legendary swords and godlike armor from Morrowind?

It doesn't make any sense that Bandits and Robbers that ambush you on the road asking for 30 gold coins should be dressed in full Ebony / Glass / deadric armor that's worth thousands of gold.
That's why I hope they base this game off of the Morrowind game system, where every zone and NPC was levelled.
i.e: You could walk into a cave and get your ass raped by lvl 100 vampires with full ebony when you were just a level 2 in slave clothes.
In Oblivion it was entering a cave, meeting some rats, and that was it

But, yeah I would hope a more Morrowind-esque approach is taken in the new game, especially with the side characters. Anyone else remember the little message that would pop up when a main plot character died in Morrowind? I forget the exact wording, but it was more or less, "Oops, Character X has died, now this reality is doomed. Sorry." Hopefully they bring back major NPC deaths in the new game, because that was always fun .

Ofcourse I remember
It was something along the lines of:
I want to reign blood and murder damnit.
And another thing is that the quest rewards in Oblivion were all scaled towards your own level.
So if you were level 5 and got a "super awesome ring"
It would give like +1 sneak instead of a level 50 ring with +80 sneak
In Morrowind you could get legendary swords that, if possesed by you, could whipe out entire continents.
I remember back in the day when Bloodmoon was released, I got my ass handed to me by all the shit that wanted me dead in Solsteim.
After that I went to get the Spear of Bitter Mercy.
With it, I owned every NPC's face.
Good times, good times,
Argonians forever!

I'm interested in this but there are already some things to nitpick about...
Firstly, it seems you play as the "dragon born", with a defined role, name, race, and gender. So does this mean it's a far more plot driven and linear game than the past ones? It certainly limits character creation and roleplaying opportunities.
Secondly it seems the lore presented doesn't fit into the established universe. Like since when are the Skyrim nords in war with each other, and how come there are suddenly evil dragons? And doesn't such a plot resemble Dragon Age and Cataclysm a bit too much?

Some variety in general would be nice. That is the one thing Morrowind is superior to Oblivion in. The world feels foreign, with strange environments and architecture that feels like from a different world. On the other hand, take away magic and demons in Oblivion, and you basically just have a replication of the dark ages.

So it is not far-fetched that a Dragon-God would have created Dragons. They just haven't been around until now.
And I am sure there is no problem with the racial freedom in character creation. "Dragon-born" can be metaphorical, and don't forget how in Morrowind you are actually a reincarnation of a hero. If they go for the reincarnation-card in Skyrim too then your character can be literally anyone.

This is a good primer, but I don't really understand the hype when the ELF primer is just as good. I've heard the primer potion in the shade Eden is better because it cancels out veins on the eyelid, but I purchased the classic transparent one and wasn't super wowed.
By Isabella 4 years ago.
This is the only eye shadow primer I use! I swear by it. I have the original matte and the glitz gold one. I use the matte one when I am using matte colors or colors without neutral tones. I use the gold one when I'm using colors with shimmer or any neutral colors. This product literally does exactly what is says.
By Mariella 5 years ago.
How can I have neglected to review the single most life changing cosmetic product out there? I'm much older than most here and can well remember the time before there was any such thing as an eye shadow primer. About the only thing out there that lasted the way UDPP does was an "automatic eyeshadow" from Estee Lauder but all of those were tinted. They came in a tube with a doe foot type applicator, much like Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer or Nars Eyeshadow Base but they were coloured and frosty. I recall having a lovely purple one, a peachy one and a taupey brown one. Other than that, any powder eyeshadow I wore creased. It didn't matter what I used or what I did - after a few hours, it would all end up as a gross line in my crease. So for years, I rarely wore eyeshadow. Then, in the 90's some time (or perhaps a bit later), UDPP (the original) found its way into my life and it's been full speed ahead since then. I apply the tiniest amount of this onto my lids in the early morning and my eyeshadows are still fresh and uncreased when I remove my makeup at night. Many similar products are available to us all in the marketplace now, in all different price ranges and formulas and how lucky we are because UDPP and products like it have made wearing eyeshadow a pleasure. I also have this in Eden (great to use on its own or to mask red or bluish lids) and in Sin (ditto on wearing on its own and also to give MAC's Tempting and other Lustre shadows a bit of the boost they need.
I've got 3 types of UDPP and what I love about Sin is that it's so versatile. It can be worn along as a long-lasting eye brightening shadow and it just looks so fresh and pretty (provided you don't overdo it). Even better, using it under shadows like MAC Tempting (beautiful in the pan but less so when applied) really brings out the beauty that is usually lost when these types of shadows are applied. Great product. And I might be weird, but I like my old Genie bottle with the bent doe-foot. Seems to dry out far less quickly than in the squeeze tube.
By Tuana 6 years ago.
I love love love this product. I have such oily eyelids, so the PPP is the only thing that can prevent them from looking greasy, and it makes my eye make up last for many hours (what doesn't happens without the PPP). I also love using it a little bit under my eyes when I'm using eyeshadow/eyeliner there, so it'll stay put as well.
I will definitely repurchase this product as well as try the other shades.
By Jarvis 6 years ago.
As a quick note, I'd like to say this is for the original (sheer/non-colorful) primer. I've yet to try the other three. However, Original is truly a product that does what it says it's going to do: make eyeshadow last longer. It's lightweight and blends in easily, although it is not clear -- it does have a faint, extremely light brown color, but that blends out to sheer. The fact is, this isn't an extraordinary product. It's not a miracle worker. But it does what it says it's going to do, and it does so well.
By Tuva 6 years ago.
This is one of my HG products. Say bye bye to creasing eyeshadow, and hello to looking fabulous all day! Your eyeshadow stays vibrant, true to colour and there's no creasing.
By Alejandra 6 years ago.
I love this primer, it is a little expensive but one tube of it has lasted me for a bit over a year now and I use it at least 5 times a week so it is not very expensive "per use". If you are an urban decay frequent customer they throw in a primer with almost every eye shadow palette anyway.
The thing I don't like so much is the packaging. The genie bottle cap is cracking on me but granted i have had it for over a year and the plastic tube ripped open a bit and the air made the primer a little bit more dry. I wish the packaging were more sturdy but then again I should probably purchase a new one soon.
By Elle 6 years ago.
This will forever be my go-to primer. I couldn't imagine going to anything else. the texture is thin and light which makes it easy to blend into the skin. It absorbs easily, so it isn't a mess when it comes to actually applying eyeshadow. It definitely makes your eyeshadows stay in place for hours. I am also of fan of finding multiple uses in one product, and with that, I've made this product a huge life saver of mine. If I'm ever in such a hurry that I get mascara on my face or mess up on my brows, just a little dot of primer is perfect to just rub over it. It will clear up whatever mess I made in just a few seconds, and then I will add a matte powder over it. It definitely saves me from those rushed morning time mistakes. I will continue to repurchase this product, as it is a lifesaver for me!

Unpopular opinion time, but I'm just not a big fan of this primer. I find that it's a bit sticky and doesn't help intensify my eyeshadow or prevent creasing. The best eyelid primer that works for me is MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre, which goes on creamy but sets dry.
By Erin 6 years ago.
So I originally tried this when I got my Naked Palette and I've been hooked ever since. I just recently bought the full tube and although it is pricey I'm 100% ok with that. I love the stuff and will continue to buy it for as long as I wear eyeshadow.

The video of a burning Tesla Model S made waves lately, making some people wonder about the safety of the highly rated electric car.
A public letter by Elon Musk explaining what happened pretty convincingly argued that the car was safe and that the fire was controlled and wouldn't have been nearly as spectacular if firefighters hadn't pierced holes where they weren't supposed to.
But there's nothing like more real-world data points to see how the Model S really does in accidents.
Keep reading to learn about the experience of a Long Island Tesla owner that goes under the pseudonym "jdovi".
Here's jdovi's story: "Yesterday I was in a terrible car accident with my beloved Model S. I was hit by a driver who was talking on her cell phone and blew a red light. I got slammed at full speed while passing through an intersection. I was [lucky] enough to walk away with no broken bones while the person who hit me left in an ambulance."
"I can tell you with absolute certainty, my model S protected me where other cars would have failed. This recent story of the car being unsafe due to a battery fire is ridiculous. My car did not so much as smoke, and not a drop of liquid was released. This is the safest car on the road hands down, and for me, I can say honestly say it saved my life. Thank you Elon."
"Here are a few more pictures. For those of you not in New York State, check out the plate for a clever one my wife came up with. The car hit me with such force I cannot describe the G's I felt, but miraculously the other car literally bounced off, spun around, and hit me AGAIN in the rear. My car slid into a grass median while the other one wound up on the other side of the road facing the opposite direction."
"They had no chance against the Model S, it's was remarkable. I was a bit surprised that the air bags did not deploy in my car (the other car's did). Then again, my body made no contact with the interior of the car so apparently the air bags were not needed."
"Tesla called my home shortly afterwards saying that they received multiple alarms from the car and wanted to make sure I was ok. They picked up my car free of charge and transported it 50 miles to the nearest service center. They are also arranging a loaner Model S. Can I ask for more?"
"Here is a picture of the Hyundai Elantra that hit me (looks totaled?). Thank you everyone for the well wishes. We have a great support structure between us. For those of you considering to make the purchase, let this be another reason to make it reality. Best regards, Joe"

Ed Sheeran Injures Hand [GRAPHIC PHOTO]
Poor Ed Sheeran. While smack dab in the middle of the Taylor Swift Red Tour, on which he is the supporting act, the singer and guitarist injured his hand and had to head to the hospital to have it taken care of.
Sheeran shared a graphic photo of his boo boo wrapped in bloodied gauze.
The incident appears to have happened in Nashville and Sheeran then shared a pic of his wrapped and treated hand. Sheeran was mum on exactly what caused him to sustain the painful-looking injury. But for a guitarist to hurt their hand -- that's a big deal. He makes his money off playing his instrument.
Things got worse for the poor guy, though. He also got a flat tire.
Poor Ed. See photos of his hand and tire exploits below.
We hope his hand is healing and his tire replaced, and that the rest of the week is looking up.

Mothers &Daughters
The Bright Lights material is available for mothers who would like to use it as a one-on-one discipleship course with their daughters. Many mothers have expressed how much they have enjoyed this special time with their daughter and seen her grow in the Lord.click here
Overview of Bright Lights
Bright stands for Being Radiant in Godliness, Holiness, and Testimony. The first Bright Lights group was started in 1996 by a 17-year-old young lady named Sarah Mally. The Lord had given her a desire to encourage younger girls to be strong for the Lord in their youth, and she decided to begin a discipleship group in her living room in order to give these girls vision, encouragement, and teaching in godliness.
In Bright Lights our purposes are:
What is a "bright light"? It is a girl who has given her life to Jesus Christ, trusting in Him alone for salvation and for the grace to live each day according to His will. It is a girl who knows how to respond "just right" to people and circumstances, demonstrating godliness in her actions and attitudes. It is a girl who has Biblical convictions and commitments (holiness), and is able to go through her teenage years strong for the Lord without stumbling as many do. It is a girl who touches the lives of others by her servant's spirit, her radiant countenance, and the message of eternal life through Jesus Christ (testimony). God wants bright lights! There is a great need for more of them in this generation of darkness.

How do they work against the virus?
The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs, also known as "non-nukes") are drugs that attach to the reverse transcriptase enzyme. They bind in a site that is somewhat different than the "nukes", but essentially do the same thing. Although they bind on the same enzyme as the nukes, because they bind on a different site, they are safely (and recommended to be) combined with the nukes. Once bound, the virus can no longer convert its genetic makeup into your T-cells, thus preventing the virus from replicating.
There are three drugs in this class: Sustiva (efavirenz, EFV), Viramune (nevirapine, NVP) and less used Rescriptor (delavirdine, DLV). These drugs have differences but also similarities. Table 1 shows some unique factors. The similarities of the NNRTI class will also be reviewed.
Do They Play Well Together?
This part of the article will focus more on Sustiva and Viramune since they are prescribed more often than Rescriptor. The following are drug interactions between the NNRTIs and PIs and NRTIs, indicating the various PK changes and what should be done with dosing.
NNRTIs AND PIs
Remember: Sustiva is an inducer, mostly of CYP3A4, so it generally tends to decrease the concentration of the other drug!
Sustiva and Reyataz -- Because Sustiva may decrease the AUC of Reyataz by 74% and Cmin by 93% (see ABCs of Pharmacokinetics), it is recommended that 100 mg of Norvir is given once daily with the Reyataz and Sustiva combination. Also, Reyataz will need to be decreased from the usual 400 mg daily to 300 mg daily when Norvir is added (see Protease Inhibitors). Because you need to take Reyataz with food, you may want to separate your dose of Reyataz/Norvir and Sustiva. If you cannot or you simply want to take them all together, make sure you don't have a high fat snack when you take these medicines, as this may increase the concentrations of Sustiva in your body and the chance for side effects (see Table No. 1).
This figure shows the drug concentration (solid lines) of zidovudine (AZT), lamivudine (3TC) taken twice daily, and efavirenz (EFV) when taken once daily. If the medications are stopped, the concentration of AZT and 3TC will fall (dashed lines), but the concentration EFV will still be present hours later. This graph, however, does not predict how the drug behaves inside the cell. This represents what happens in the blood only. See ABC?s of PK for more information about levels of drugs inside the cells.
Sustiva and Lexiva -- Sustiva will decrease Lexiva's Cmin by 36%. If you are taking Lexiva once daily, it is recommended to take 300 mg (3 capsules) of Norvir with the Lexiva (2 tablets). This is more Norvir than is recommended to be taken with Lexiva without Sustiva (see Protease Inhibitors). Total dose will be Lexiva 1400 mg + Norvir 300 mg once daily with or without food. Remember that if you decide to eat when taking this combination, eat a low-fat or no-fat snack. This only applies to once-daily dosing of this combination. No additional Norvir dosing is needed if you are taking boosted Lexiva twice daily (see Protease Inhibitors).
Sustiva and Kaletra -- Sustiva will lower the Cmin of Kaletra by 39%. Thus you need to add an extra capsule of Kaletra for a total of 4 pills twice daily with food. Since Sustiva should be taken on an empty stomach, it is best to separate these medications by at least 2 hours. Remember that if you decide to eat when taking this combination, eat a low-fat or no-fat snack.
Sustiva and Crixivan -- Sustiva lowers the AUC of Crixivan ranging from 33-46%, and Cmin ranging from 39-57%. You have to either increase the Crixivan dose to 1,000 mg every 8 hours or, more recommended, use 100 mg?200 mg of Norvir twice daily (Crixivan 800 mg + Norvir 100 mg?200 mg twice daily). The latter regimen allows you to go from three times daily to twice daily dosing (by adding Norvir). Your doctor will let you know if you should take the 100 mg or 200 mg dose. If you take Crixivan/Norvir and Sustiva at the same time, make sure you take it on an empty stomach, to avoid high Sustiva concentrations. If you want to take your Crixivan/Norvir with some food, it is best to separate it from the Sustiva by at least 2 hours. Remember that if you decide to eat when taking this combination, eat a low-fat or no-fat snack.
Sustiva and Invirase and Fortovase -- When you take Sustiva with this drug, it will decrease the AUC by 62%, thus you cannot use this without boosting it! For both Invirase and Fortovase, there are two dosing regimens: Invirase/Fortovase 400 mg + Norvir 400 mg given twice daily with food or Invirase/Fortovase 1,000 mg + Norvir 100 mg given twice daily with food. Your doctor may have you take more Norvir to make sure you have adequate Invirase/ Fortovase in your body. Since Sustiva should be taken on an empty stomach, it is best to separate the Invirase or Fortovase with Norvir from Sustiva by at least 2 hours. Remember that if you decide to eat when taking this combination, eat a low-fat or no-fat snack.
Remember: Viramune is an inducer of CYP3A4, so it may decrease the concentration of the other drug!
Viramune and Reyataz -- There are no conclusive data with this combination, but the drug concentration of Reyataz is expected to decrease due to the inducing effects of Viramune. Thus, at this time, it is recommended to boost 300 mg of Reyataz with 100 mg of Norvir (see Protease Inhibitors).
Viramune and Lexiva -- There are no data with this combination, but the drug concentration of Lexiva is expected to decrease due to the inducing effects of Viramune. Thus you will likely need to use a boosted regimen. While 700 mg Lexiva + 100 mg Norvir is commonly used, it is unknown if this will be sufficient to offset the interaction. This may be one of the times where TDM would be useful (see Protease Inhibitors).
Viramune and Kaletra -- Like the interaction with Sustiva, if you take Viramune and Kaletra, we can see a decrease in the Kaletra AUC by 27% and Cmin by 51-55%. Thus, you need more Kaletra! For this interaction, you should be taking Kaletra 4 capsules twice daily with food (533 mg/133 mg).
Viramune and Crixivan -- When you take these two drugs together, the Cmin of Crixivan is decreased by 44%, so you need a different dose. You either have to increase Crixivan to 1000 mg every 8 hours or add 100 mg?200 mg of Norvir twice daily (Crixivan 800 mg + Norvir 100 mg?200 mg twice daily). If you add Norvir, this interaction allows you to go from three times daily to twice-daily dosing, taken with or without food. Your doctor will decide which dose of Norvir you should be taking.
Viramune and Invirase or Fortovase -- With this interaction, the AUC of Invirase/Fortovase is decreased by 38%, thus boosting is needed with Norvir. The amount of Norvir depends on the drug (Invirase or Fortovase) and amount of drug used as listed below.
- Invirase 1,000 mg + Norvir 100 mg given twice daily with food
- Fortovase 400 mg + Norvir 400 mg given twice daily with food
- Fortovase 1,000 mg + Norvir 100 mg given twice daily with food
Your doctor may have you take more Invirase, Fortovase and/or Norvir to make sure you have adequate Invirase/ Fortovase in your body. Your doctor may also decide to use TDM to make sure you are getting adequate drug in your body.
Rescriptor and PIs
Concentrations of PIs may be increased due to the inhibitory effect of Rescriptor. A PI dose reduction may be required. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about these interactions.
NNRTIs and RTIs
No clinically significant interactions with either Sustiva, Viramune or Rescriptor.
Stopping or Switching Medications
Stopping medications: Because Sustiva and Viramune have a long half-life, it will take longer for it to clear from your body. If you were to stop all your antiretrovirals at the same time, some of the nukes with shorter half-lives will be cleared sooner than the non-nukes (See Figure 1: Theoretical Pharmacokinetics of Sustiva + Combivir). For a period of time, you may only have the non-nukes in your blood. Conversely, if you have a nuke backbone that has longer half-lives (See Figure 2: Theoretical Pharmacokinetics of Truvada + Sustiva) extension of nucleoside dosing may not be necessary. Depending on the nuke backbone, there is some information that if you stop the non-nuke, you might need to continue the nukes to avoid the development of mutations -- but you should discuss this with your doctor first. There may also be drug interactions if you quickly switch from a non-nuke regimen to a PI regimen. For example, if you switch from Sustiva to Kaletra, you need to make sure there isn't any Sustiva around to interact and lower Kaletra levels. Ask your clinical pharmacist or physician on how to plan your switch!
Switching Between Non-Nukes
Switching from Sustiva to Viramune: Some recent information may change how you take your Viramune if you are switching to it from taking Sustiva. You may be able to take the full dose of Viramune from day one (200 mg twice daily). This would mean you may not have to go through the lead-in dosing of 200 mg once daily for 2 weeks. You might be able do this because the remaining Sustiva in the body may lower concentration of Viramune in the body. By taking the full dose of Viramune from day 1 on, drug levels may be higher and closer to normal. This is very different than what you find in the package insert for either drug, so be sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this first! Taking too much Viramune too soon may increase the risk for side effects (liver problems for example).
Switching from Viramune to Sustiva: Take the full dose of Sustiva on the first day of the switch.
Again, talk to your clinical pharmacist or doctor on how to plan this switch.
The metabolism of NNRTIs makes it very important when it comes to the potential drug interactions. The last thing you'd want is to lower the concentration of your HIV meds and risk developing resistance. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist whenever you are prescribed a new medication.

Hey have you seen the silde when the qeen is talking to the grad july you can see ET'S YES ET'S LOOK
Are you talking about when Padme was talking to the senate in TPM and the camera pans across different senate pods and one was occupied by a species that resembles ET? If so, yes, lots of people have noticed this before.
Please please please please proofread your posts before entering them. And yes I have seen the ET aliens.
Also, why did you say "the first new moive," opossed to Episode I or the Phantom Menace?
Eww...don't remind me of those creepy things....
The name of that species is Dressellian, just so you know...
Becaus It Is Draco Fett
Dressellian? I guess they do look a bit like Dresellians, but there are some big differences:
http://img.mtv3.fi/mn_kuvat/mtv3/viihde … /42013.jpg
http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images … nNEGAS.jpg
ET has the wider head near the eyes, a longer neck, thinner arms, and etc. Also the ones in TPM weren't really dressed to well, all the pictures of Dresellians I've saw had them fully clothed like the one in this picture.
If you listen to the commentary, I'm pretty sure they said that they threw ET in there as a joke. Also, they showed two X-Wings chasing a Tie Fighter in Episode 2...
Yeah, I saw the X-Wing and Tie Fighter. There's also a Shaak in the asteroid field in AOTC.
They put the extra terrestrial in because a Yoda mask was used in E.T.
george and steve are also really good friends.
i've never noticed the x wings in aotc. there's a lot of little "easter eggs" in there. where should i be looking for that?
The X-Wings and TIE Fighter are when Anakin and Zam are both zooming downwards (right as we're going into the "pull up, Anakin, pull up" part), if you turn the commentary on I think they say exactly when it is.
They are called sgrebleips which is Spielberg backwards...
I think I read that on wikipedia...
Wikipedia which we all know is bot the most reliable source for information.
I agree with Fetterthanyou, Wiki lies more often than not.
I don't know about lies, I only use it for anime overview and weapon articles but you can tell how accurate it is by checking the source links.
Actually Wiki's are pretty good when it comes to info. Now, I wouldn't trust the Mario section since its written by the Lemmy's Land retards, but its all good.
I believe there is also a kitchen sink floating in space during the Battle over Coruscant in Episode III.

News Release
NASD Fines Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo and Linsco $19.4 Million For Improper Sales of Class B and C Mutual Fund Shares
Washington, D.C. — NASD announced today it has fined Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Wells Fargo Investments and Linsco/Private Ledger Corporation a total of $19.4 million for suitability and supervisory violations relating primarily to sales of Class B mutual fund shares as well as some Class C mutual fund shares. These cases are part of NASD's continuing investigation into mutual funds sales practices.
Merrill Lynch was fined $14 million, while Wells Fargo was fined $3 million and Linsco was fined $2.4 million. The amount of the fines approximate the additional commissions the firms received by selling Class B shares rather than Class A mutual fund shares. In addition, each firm is implementing a remediation plan to compensate affected customers - collectively involving more than 29,000 households and nearly 140,000 transactions.
NASD's investigation examined transactions during an 18-month period between January 2002 and July 2003. Investigators focused on 23,000 households at Merrill Lynch with 105,000 Class B and C share transactions; 4,500 households at Wells Fargo with 12,000 Class B and C share trades; and approximately 2,000 households with 22,400 Class B and C share trades at Linsco.
During this period, the three firms recommended and sold Class B and/or Class C share mutual funds to their customers without considering or adequately disclosing on a consistent basis that an equal investment in Class A shares would generally have been more advantageous to those customers in view of all relevant considerations. Before recommending a share class, brokers must consider the customer's anticipated holding period and all costs associated with each share class including front-end sales charges, annual expenses and contingent deferred sales charges. The firms also had inadequate supervisory and compliance procedures relating to the manner in which the firms' sales personnel recommended and sold Class B and Class C shares.
"In recommending mutual funds with different share classes, brokers must understand, consider and disclose information about which particular share class would be most beneficial for the customer from an expense perspective," said Barry Goldsmith, NASD Executive Vice President and Head of Enforcement. "The failure by these firms to do this resulted in their customers purchasing Class B and C shares when they would have been better served with Class A shares. The firms have agreed to a remediation plan that will give affected customers the opportunity to convert their holdings to a more financially advantageous mutual fund share class."
Class A shares typically charge a front-end sales charge and also may be subject to an asset-based sales charge, but it generally is lower than the asset-based sales charge imposed by Class B or Class C shares. Mutual funds may offer discounts, called breakpoints, on the front-end sales charge for Class A shares if an investor makes a large purchase, already holds other mutual funds offered by the same fund family, or commits to regularly purchasing the mutual fund's shares. To determine the appropriate discounts, an investor is often allowed to aggregate his purchases with holdings of other family members. Class B shares typically do not charge a front-end sales charge, but they do impose asset-based sales charges that may be higher than those associated with Class A shares. Class B shares also normally impose a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) which the investor may pay at the time the investor sells the shares. While the investor holds the shares, the CDSC normally declines and eventually is eliminated after a certain number of years. After the CDSC is eliminated, Class B shares often "convert" into Class A shares. When they convert, they will be subject to the same, lower asset-based sales charge as the Class A shares.
Class C shares usually do not impose a front-end sales charge on the purchase but they are often subject to a CDSC if sold within a short time of purchase, usually one year. Class C shares also typically impose higher asset-based sales charges than Class A shares, and since their shares generally do not convert into Class A shares, their asset-based sales charge will not be reduced over time. So even though investors do not pay a front-end sales charge for Class B or Class C shares, the potential CDSCs and the higher ongoing fees significantly affect the return on mutual fund investments, particularly at higher dollar levels.
In resolving this matter, the firms have agreed to a remediation plan that generally covers investors who, between January 1, 2002 and the dates of the settlement with each firm, purchased Class B shares totaling $50,000 or more depending upon the expenses and charges of the fund and who under any ordinary circumstance would have been better off had they purchased A shares instead. The offer will also be extended to a limited number of Class C share investors who, during the same time frame, made purchases of $500,000 or more and who, in view of all relevant circumstances, would have been better off had they purchases A shares instead. A number of mutual fund transaction exclusions from the plan also apply.
NASD has posted a special section on its Web site - Improper Sales of Mutual Fund Class B and Class C Shares - Remediation Information for Investors - to assist investors covered by the remediation plan.
The firms will contact affected customers within five months. Those customers will be given the opportunity to convert their Class B or Class C shares to Class A shares in a way that will restore the customers to the position they would have been in had they originally purchased Class A shares. Affected customers who have sold some or all of their Class B or Class C shares will be eligible to receive a cash payment in addition to, or instead of, receiving Class A shares.
Each firm will establish a response center to assist affected customers. The entire remediation process is expected to take approximately nine months to complete.
The three firms settled these actions without admitting or denying the allegations, but consented to the entry of NASD's findings.
Earlier this year, NASD settled similar charges involving sales of Class B and C share mutual funds against Citigroup Global Markets, American Express Financial Advisors (now known as Ameriprise), and Chase Investment Services, and those settlements also involved remediation plans which those firms are currently implementing. In all, NASD's Class B and C share enforcement actions this year will result in the offer of remediation to more than 400,000 mutual fund transactions by more than 79,000 households.

For information about breakpoint discounts on Class A share investments, see the NASD Investor Alerts Mutual Fund Breakpoints: A Break Worth Taking and Mutual Fund Breakpoints: Are You Owed A Refund? A free NASD video webcast, Mutual Funds: Share Classes and Breakpoint Discounts, provides an overview of Class A, B and C shares as well as discussing breakpoints.
Last month, NASD launched two important online tools for mutual fund investors. NASD's new and improved Mutual Fund Expense Analyzer delivers fee and expense information for virtually all of the more than 18,000 mutual funds and 160 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Among other things, the analyzer will compare the expenses of up to three share classes of the same mutual fund simultaneously.
NASD's new Mutual Fund Breakpoint Search Tool offers users a groundbreaking way to research eligibility for breakpoint discounts. Investors and brokers can look up breakpoint schedules and linkage rules for mutual funds with front-end sales charges, most commonly A shares.
Investors can obtain more information and the disciplinary record of any NASD-registered broker or brokerage firm through NASD's BrokerCheck. NASD makes BrokerCheck available at no charge to the public. In 2004, members of the public used this service to conduct nearly 3.8 million searches for existing brokers or firms and requested more than 190,000 reports in cases where disclosable information existed on a broker or firm. Investors can link directly to the program by going online to http://www.nasdbrokercheck.com/. Investors can also access this service by calling (800) 289-9999.

DWTS 15, Week 4: Saying Goodbye to Bristol Palin (Sort of…) – Elimination Interviews
After a frustrating 4 weeks (both for Bristol & Mark and us as viewers!) Bristol was eliminated last night – and apparently doing all the post show media was a bit overwhelming for her (cause, y'know, she totally had to go change her hair and whatnot…*eye roll*), so Mark held down the fort with On the Red Carpet and offered up his take on their elimination. He also offers up his predictions for the winner of this season:
Next stop was Access Hollywood, and Bristol must have still been fussing with her hair, so Mark did all the talking again. He talks about the show being a "journey" and how proud he is of Bristol for the work that she's done. I had to chuckle at Mark's reaction to being asked if he'd be dancing in the troupe:
After that, Bristol must have finally been done messing with her hair (those blasted ponytails…so complicated!) and she & Mark hit up Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy asks Bristol if she had a feeling she'd be eliminated, and what she thinks is the key to her longevity on the show. She & Mark also chat about their fight, and Jimmy makes an interesting point about the rehearsal packages:
I must say, I rather enjoyed the cockamamie idea of Bristol being on The Bachelorette (HA!) and Guillermo is always a highlight for me 😛 In all seriousness, though, as much as I wanted Bristol gone after week 2 – I think she & Mark managed to go out gracefully, and they both seem to be at peace with their elimination. Although I have to wonder how she would have fared on Team Gilles…I would have enjoyed watching her bungle Gilles' magnum opus of a team dance. Bwahahahahaha 😀

Today's game cameras feature so many innovations that buying one can seem overwhelming. Which camera should you go with? Which features are necessary and which are not? This guide will run through the various functions of game cameras and key points to consider when purchasing one. The good news is there are trail cams available for just about every budget.
Trail Camera Picture Quality
Today's world is so filled with high-quality photography and videography that we are trained to expect it. HD has become the norm, and affordable DSLR cameras have made it easy for consumers to take high-quality, high-pixel images.
What makes a high-quality photo? Many photographers agree the basic components of a good picture are clarity, contrast and resolution. Based on those components, the things that contribute to good pictures are lens quality and megapixel count. A trail camera that takes in a lot of data and information — megapixels — is only as good as the lens it uses. That's why we recommend looking at sample pictures from the cameras you are interested in buying. Many times you can visit the manufacturer's website to see samples.
So, how do you decide which camera to select for quality pictures? It comes down to your preferences. Do you want to see the eyelashes on a deer as it walks by your camera? Or are you primarily interested in seeing the general point count on a buck. When it comes to picture quality, you typically get what you pay for.
Gamer Camera Flash Type
|Newer game cameras, such as the Bushnell Trophy Cam, have an infrared flash and captures video and audio.
While a regular flash isn't common on most trail cameras anymore, it is still available on less expensive game cameras. However, the most common flash type found in today's trail cameras is infrared.
Infrared is much different than the common flash we think of — it isn't a burst of visible light but rather a wavelength outside the visible parameters. An infrared flash prevents game from seeing the flash, making it less likely the camera will spook the animal. In addition, it is less likely that unwanted guests will see the camera, reducing the chance it will be stolen. Most of today's trail cams today feature infrared flash, in addition to taking high-resolution photographs and HD video with audio.
Battery Life
Spending a little extra on a game camera with long battery life is recommended because it will pay you back. First, long battery life means you're not continuously buying new batteries. Plus, you also won't have to disturb your favorite hunting spot every week to make sure the batteries are good. Go for the camera with exceptional battery life that can produce high quality photos as well.
Trigger Time
Believe it or not, there is a difference in trigger speeds between trail cams. The trigger time is the time it takes from the camera sensing movement to when it actually takes a photograph. For example, a trigger speed of 1/5 of a second may cost a little more but may mean the difference between seeing a buck's rack when he gallops by or just his hind end.
Security Options
|This Browning Game Camera Security Box is one of many options to protect your investments from theft.
Some game cams are not cheap, but any camera should be treated as an investment. To protect your trail camera, get a security box fit for it. There are multiple options available, all of which make it harder for thieves to grab your camera.
Another game camera selling point can be the type of memory. Does the camera have built-in memory? What about a memory card? An SD card is a removable memory card that allows you to store photos shot on the camera and then upload them to a computer. A removable memory card may be the best option for those cameras that do not have an onboard viewer. However, some cameras feature an onboard viewer that makes looking at pictures easy in the field. Either way, make sure your camera has a reliable memory system so your pictures aren't easily lost.
Some trail cams take displaying photos to a whole new level by automatically sending pictures to the owner's email address or cell phone via text. This is definitely the best way to keep your distance from the camera and monitor the activity in as close to real time as possible. However, this feature usually comes with a price. It all comes down to what you are willing to pay.

This cute bubble butt babe has always done right by my dick, and I'm really loving this new anal porn video she's done over at Ass Parade. Kelly Divine has an awesome big phat butt, and she totally loves taking fat cocks up inside it. I've been watching this sexy big ass beauty take dick up the pooper for a while, but I've never seen her get assfucked like this. The dudes from BangBros really know how to treat a big butt, that's for sure. They adore and worship Kelly's round booty and give us plenty of shots from all perspectives as that jiggly whooty ass bounces about.
Pretty soon, Kelly Divine has her hungry mouth working a big cock, and she sure loves doing it. This girl really does love taking dick, and you can definitely tell by watching her. When the anal sex begins, it's time to get ready to launch your load because the action is volcanic. That tight asshole gets penetrated and that juicy booty gets pumped like all Hell is breaking loose. Definitely one of Kelly's best anal sex videos, and one you should watch immediately!

The pairings for the CIF-Southern Section high school football playoffs have been out since mid-day Sunday. That's more than enough time to turn any of us into an expert as we look ahead to just how each division will play out.
Fans, coaches and players are going to be treated to a wild ride over the next four weeks. The emotions of the playoffs are second to none. The lifetime of memories that will be built up are truly magical.
So why not try and spoil all the suspense by breaking out the crystal ball for a division by division preview of how everything will play out for our local teams?
Here goes …
Southeast Division first round winners: Norwalk, Dominguez, Paramount, La Mirada, La Serna, Downey, Mayfair and Diamond Ranch.
Second round winners: Norwalk, La Mirada, La Serna and Diamond Ranch. Semifinals winners: Norwalk and La Serna.
Champion: La Serna.
Explanation: La Serna gets the slight nod and it's slight because nobody would be shocked if the Lancers lost in the second round to Downey, assuming that match up comes off. Norwalk is a legitimate No. 1 seed, but how many times in the past have we seen 10-0 teams falter in the postseason? It seems like only the truly great ones go 14-0. La Serna has the best quarterback in the division in Frankie Palmer and that should be enough to pull out the close games along the way to a third consecutive trip to the finals.
Western Division first round winners: Serra, Morro Bay, St. Francis, Camarillo, Lompoc, Santa Monica, Ventura and Chaminade.
Second round winners: Serra, St. Francis, Lompoc and Chaminade. Semifinals winners: Serra and Chaminade.
Champion: Serra.
Explanation: Ho-hum, this looks like one of the easiest divisions in the Southern Section to call. The Mission League teams lay over the rest of the field and only when they cannibalize each other will they be stopped. St. Francis is the local charge, but asking the Knights to finish the regular season with Serra and Chaminade in back-to-back weeks, then reel off four straight wins is a bit too much … especially with Serra in their half of the bracket.
Southwest Division first round winners: La Habra, Newport Harbor, Los Alamitos, Fullerton, Edison, Villa Park, San Juan Hills and Yorba Linda.
Second round winners: La Habra, Los Alamitos, Edison and San Juan Hills. Semifinals winners: La Habra and Edison.
Champion: Edison.
Explanation: Now this is one heckuva division. Let's get one thing out of the way, though, the Empire League teams are in big, big trouble. The local hope here is La Habra. The Highlanders are back to traditional strength and the No. 1 seed. But they're very likely to have to beat three Sunset League teams along the way to bring home a banner. If things play out as projected here, the semis should be epic. But this looks like a deceptively tough path for a No. 1 seed to take starting from the second round on. Edison doesn't have nearly as difficult a draw as the Highlanders and that's why we lean their way.
Mid-Valley Division first round winners: Monrovia, Montebello, Rosemead, Paraclete, San Dimas, San Marino, Schurr and Arroyo.
Second round winners: Monrovia, Paraclete, San Dimas and Arroyo. Semifinals winners: Monrovia and San Dimas.
Champion: Monrovia.
Explanation: The division of good, old-fashioned neighborhood football … and Monrovia. The Wildcats are odds-on favorites to win their fourth consecutive division title, but the real drama is who will play them in the finals. There are three legitimate finals contenders in the "other half" of the bracket and they are San Dimas, San Marino and Arroyo. The best game of the entire playoffs might come in the second round if San Dimas and San Marino meet, which is likely to happen. But in the end, this is all about Monrovia showing off for the bowl committee.
Northeast Division first round winners: Mission Prep, Pasadena Poly, Saddleback Valley Chr., Desert, Salesian, Capistrano Valley Chr., Hamilton and Rio Hondo Prep.
Second round winners: Mission Prep, Desert, Salesian and Rio Hondo Prep. Semifinals winners: Mission Prep and Salesian.
Champion: Salesian.
Explanation: The way things are seeded, this is supposed to come down a rematch of last year's finals between defending champ Rio Hondo Prep and Mission Prep. One problem, though, Salesian is the best team in the division. The Kares are likely to see Salesian in the semifinals and will be decided underdogs despite what the seeding says.
Inland Division first round winners: Vista Murrieta, Charter Oak, Rancho Cucamonga, Norco, Upland, Eisenhower, Chaparral, Centennial.
Second round winners: Vista Murrieta, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Centennial. Semifinals winners: Vista Murrieta and Centennial. Champion: Centennial.
Explanation: The local charge is headed up by Sierra League champion Charter Oak. Although not as flashy as the previous two years' teams, this Chargers group is likely to wind up with the same bottom line as the previous two: a bow out in the second round. Charter Oak got a wicked assignment having to play Vista Murrieta if both win in the first round. We're looking elsewhere for teams set to make a deep run. Rancho Cucamonga went from a top-four seed to just a second-place entry after getting stunned by Upland in Week 10. Both Baseline teams are headed to the semis, however, in our opinion. From there, last year's power teams will take over and meet again in the finals with Centennial coming out on top again.
Northwest Division first round winners: Oak Park, La Puente, Carpinteria, Santa Paula, Bishop Diego, Maranatha, Azusa and Nordhoff. Second round winners: Oak Park, Carpinteria, Bishop Diego and Nordhoff. Semifinals winners: Oak Park and Nordhoff.
Champion: Nordhoff.
Explanation: The Tri-Valley League absolutely lays over this division. In fact, it might have the top-five teams and get this, ALL FIVE teams got into the playoffs … yes, even Santa Paula, which went 0-4 in league. We project all five teams will win their first-round games. We also project the semifinals will be four Tri-Valley League teams. Fun isn't it? And in the end, Nordhoff wins it all. This isn't what a division should look like, but then again, many have considered the Tri-Valley to be CIF's wasteland division.

Speedy Trial Clause
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy...trial....Amendment VI
From the time of the Assize of Clarendon (1166) and the Magna Carta (1215), the common law created protections in response to English monarchs who imprisoned enemies of the Crown without permitting them access to courts. By 1642, Sir Edward Coke was able to conclude that English judges "have not suffered the prisoner to be long detained, but...have given the prisoner full and speedy justice...." The evil to be avoided was lengthy pretrial detention. The English Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, for example, required timely hearings while the accused was on bail.
The Framers of the Constitution understood that a speedy trial was part of the essence of the rights of Englishmen. When the First Congress drafted the Bill of Rights, it approved without discussion the right to a speedy trial. At that time, the rights to habeas corpus (Article I, Section 9, Clause 2), to nonexcessive bail (Eighth Amendment), and to a speedy trial were seen as interrelated. Under common-law practice, judges would grant a habeas corpus petition and dismiss the indictment if a defendant was detained too long prior to trial. Once the defendant was free, the harm of pretrial detention ceased, and the speedy-trial requirement was moot. The state could, if it wished, reindict later so long as the statute of limitations was not a bar. Early American cases sometimes decided the issue of pretrial detention simply through the application of state habeas corpus without even referring to the right to a speedy trial. See, e.g., Logan v. State (1814).
As with most of the other provisions of the Bill of Rights, the Supreme Court has incorporated the Speedy Trial Clause into the Fourteenth Amendment and applied it to the states. Klopfer v. North Carolina (1967). The modern Court, moreover, views the right to a speedy trial as preventing not only the harm of pretrial detention, but also harm to the defense caused by delay—for example, fading memories or the deaths of witnesses. Thus, release on bail no longer stops the speedy-trial "clock," and a violation can occur simply because of harm to the defense. On the other hand, the failure of the defense to move to dismiss the case counts against a defendant who later asserts a right to a speedy trial, because the Court views this defendant as acquiescing in the delay.
One's right to a speedy trial in most instances begins from the time of arrest or indictment, not from the moment an investigation begins. It is left to statutes of limitations to cure the abuse of too long an investigation. At present, the Federal Speedy Trial Act (1974) defines the time limits for criminal actions to begin. Generally speaking, an indictment or information must be filed within thirty days of arrest, and a trial should occur within seventy days of the filing.
Most constitutional violations are cured by ordering a trial that is free of the error. But the harm that delay would normally cause the defense cannot be remedied by a new trial. The Court's response to this conundrum is to require that the indictment be dismissed, or the conviction vacated, without possibility of retrial. Strunk v. United States (1973).
To make a conviction impossible to obtain when the trial is held too late is logical but extreme. As a result, courts are loath to find violations of the speedy-trial right. Furthermore, the speedy-trial test the Supreme Court has adopted gives lower courts great discretion in deciding speedy-trial claims. Barker v. Wingo (1972) held that courts should consider (1) whether and how the defendant asserts his right to a speedy trial; (2) the length of the delay; (3) the reason the State offers to excuse the delay; and (4) the prejudice that the defendant suffered (pretrial deprivation of liberty as well as harm to the defense caused by the delay). The facts of Barker itself demonstrate how much discretion courts have to decide whether a trial is speedy. Willie Barker stood convicted of the brutal murder of an elderly couple. Even though the trial occurred more than five years after indictment, the Court unanimously held that it did not violate the defendant's right to a speedy trial.

Bitcoin entrepreneur pleads guilty to Silk Road charges
A leading bitcoin entrepreneur pleaded guilty Thursday in New York to illegally helping a dealer sell $1 million in bitcoins to customers on Silk Road, a Dark Web site where users could anonymously buy and sell contraband and drugs.
Charlie Shrem, chief executive officer of the bitcoin exchange company BitInstant.com, was the company official charged with making sure the exchange complied with federal money laundering laws. He could be sentenced to five years in prison. By taking a plea deal, Shrem avoids going to trial on more serious charges of money laundering and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, which carries more prison time.
The Silk Road dealer Robert Faiella, known by his online handle "BTCKing," pleaded guilty Thursday to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business that knowingly sent money to a criminal enterprise. He could be sentenced to five years in prison.
The men will be sentenced Jan. 20.
"Working together, Shrem and Faiella exchanged nearly $1 million in cash for bitcoins for the benefit of Silk Road users, so that the users could, in turn, make illegal purchases on Silk Road," the Justice Department said in a statement.
Federal agents shut down Silk Road, a sprawling online black market bazaar, on Oct. 2, 2013. The site operated on TOR, also known as The Onion Router, a website that routes users through multiple computers to conceal their locations and identities. Buyers and sellers on the site did business in bitcoin, a digital currency that gave users another layer of anonymity.
Bitcoin, launched in 2009, is a decentralized digital currency traded from person to person rather than through banks. It is generated by a computer algorithm and has no issuing or regulating country. The currency is not illegal in the USA and some businesses accept it as a form of payment.
Prosecutors say Faiella, 54, of Cape Coral, Fla., ran a bitcoin exchange on Silk Road from December 2011 until the site shut down, and he violated federal law by failing to register with the Treasury Department as a money transmitting business. Faiella exchanged his customers' cash for bitcoin through Shrem's company.
Prosecutors say that Shrem knew Silk Road was a drug-trafficking website, that he knew Faiella operated a bitcoin exchange service for Silk Road users and that he personally handled the transactions to hide the business from his partners.
Shrem is well-known in the bitcoin community. Until his indictment in January, he was vice president of the BitCoin Foundation, a trade group that promotes bitcoin as an alternative currency. In his bio on the foundation's website, Shrem is described as using "his position in both the old banking world and new, alternative currency world to help pave the way for the bitcoin economy to emerge in early 2011."
BitInstant.com, one of the earliest bitcoin businesses, drew interest and investment from the tech-savvy Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler. The brothers' Winklevoss Capital had invested money in the business, but they said they had no active role in the company.

Montevallo (148), Young Harris (149), North Alabama (191), Stillman
(249) and Miles (261).
In the women's 5K race, Delta State won with 68 points, a narrow victory over Montevallo (79), with West Florida (82) third, UA Huntsville (87) fourth and Young Harris (95) fifth. Tech placed sixth (111), followed by North Alabama (171), Alabama A&M (203), Stillman (285) and Miles (291).
Miller ran the route in 20:02.6, just two seconds off the pace of her 5K career-best time, placing her ninth in the field of 74 entries.
Rebecca Cline was next for Tech, finishing 20th overall in 20:43.5, while Meghan O'Donoghue placed 23rd in 21:04.9. Amelia McCoy and Kathryn Forbes crossed the line virtually together, with McCoy placing 29th in 21:23.0 and Forbes in 30th place with a career-best showing of 21:23.4.
Tech's lineup Saturday also included Peri Winborne in 35th place in 21:38.1, and Landry Loving placing 42nd in 22:00.8 in her first collegiate meet.
The next meet on the agenda for the Tech teams is next Saturday at the Vanderbilt Invitational.

How much does it suck that some of our favorite things — coffee, red wine, even berries — are most responsible for staining and dulling our pearly whites? We're not much for moderation — you can pry our iced coffees and after-dinner wine from our cold, dead hands, thankyouverymuch — so needless to say, we're big fans of at-home teeth whitening.
Hold up, we know what you're thinking: You've tried those ill-fitting trays and cumbersome strips and all they left you with was a (literal) bad taste in your mouth and overly-sensitive teeth. But there have been some serious advances in the whitening category, of late, including some new high-tech devices, better-quality strips, and natural options that are actually effective. These new methods have made it easier than ever to whiten your teeth at home, provided you are committed to the cause.
" At-home teeth whitening requires a commitment to follow a strict daily regimen for a few consecutive days, to get the realistic result one is looking for, so you have to have the time and discipline — you can't do it haphazardly or inconsistently," says Dr. Pankaj Singh, clinical director at Arch Dental Associates in NYC. "Expect to really devote an hour a day, every day, for a few consecutive days to really do it correctly, to be able to see a difference."
If you've never whitened your teeth at home, Dr. Singh has a few words of wisdom for you. "Unrealistic expectations might set you up for disappointment," he says. "Expect teeth to be whiter than they were before the whitening, but don't expect them to be whiter than the 'whites of your eyes.'" He also adds that teeth whitening is something that needs to be done periodically to maintain the shade initially achieved — food stains will accumulate over time, which will lead to yellowing and dulling if you don't keep up the maintenance.
Here, we've rounded up some of the best new strips, gadgets, gums, and pastes that promise to make your teeth look dazzling. From ion trays to clay-based cleaners, check out the newest, most convenient ways to add some sparkle to your smile.

A Sandwich a Day: Pulled Pork Torta from Izzoz Tacos in Austin, TX
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Even if you come to Izzoz Tacos (pronounced eee-zoz) with the best intentions of ordering tacos, you may leave the cart with a pulled pork torta ($6.50), which is fine (as long as you also try the tacos at some point). The pork is juicy, slightly sweet and smoky with a punch of heat; it's been slow-roasting overnight with ancho chiles.
The pile of meat is packed into a crusty roll that's smeared with chipotle aioli and layered with lots of pickled slaw, which we liked as much as the pulled pork itself (!). It's creamy with a vinegar-zing, and when you dive nose-first into the sandwich, you immediately whiff up the fresh cilantro (what makes the slaw green).
Added bonus: the torta's served on a bed of garlic fries. They really aren't kidding about the garlic, either. Diced garlic bits coat the crisp, hand-cut fries; the garlic cologne will linger on your fingers even after a couple washes.
