|Rich Man, Poor Man
Read for This Week's Study:
|Ecclesiastes 5.
Memory Text:
|"He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity" (Ecclesiastes 5:10).
|Leo Tolstoy wrote a short story
called "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" It was about a peasant, Pahom, who
swore, "If I had plenty of land, I shouldn't fear the devil himself." Pahom
then heard about the Bahkirs, people who sold land cheaply. He traveled there
and was offered land at "a thousand rubles a day." What did that mean? They
told him: "We sell it by the day. As much land as you can go around on your
feet in a day is yours." Only one condition: If you didn't return on the
same day to the spot you started, the money would be lost. Pahom, delighted,
started walking and walking and walking... . . He was getting so much land!
He kept going, all day, only to realize that he had better get back before
the day ended. He had gone too far. He had to rush, or else all was lost!
He hurried and hurried, only to collapse dead within sight of the starting
His servants dug a grave and buried him. How much land does a man need?
"Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed," wrote Tolstoy.
This week we'll look a little more at what Solomon has to say about wealth and poverty. He said a lot; we'll cover what we can.
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, February 10.
|February 4
God in Heaven, Humanity on Earth
Read Ecclesiastes 5:1-7. Though you might not understand every phrase, summarize the basic message:
However much Solomon in Ecclesiastes, as in Proverbs, focused on practical living and moral injunction, he did so always with an awareness of the reality and presence of God. Here, too, in these lines, Solomon expresses not only the reality of God but the closeness of God; that is, God cares how you approach Him, God cares how you talk to Him, and God cares about you paying your vows to Him. Solomon's God, the God of the Bible, isn't the God of deists, some distant deity who created the world and then left it to its own devices. If so, we would truly have reason to despair.
In this context, Solomon is talking about how we as humans should relate to God.
Read Matthew 21:28-31. How does this text fit in with the message of Solomon here?
The point, of course, is obvious: If we tell the Lord that we plan on doing something, we'd better do it. However, that's easier said than done. How often have we made vows to God, promising and swearing oaths that we will stop doing this or that or that we will always do such and such, only to fail? Sure, we might have meant it at the time, and really tried, but we failed either way. What's our situation then?
How do Matthew 18:21-23, Romans 2:4, and 1 John 2:1 help us understand the hope that we can have despite failures?
|Have you made promises to God that you haven't kept? If so, what's the only thing you can do?
|February 5
Poor Man
"For ye have the poor always with you" (Matt. 26:11).
Solomon now returns to a key theme of this whole book: money and those who have a lot and those who don't.
Read Ecclesastes 5:8. Kind of strange words, if you think about it. After all, it was Solomon himself or, at least, his government who set up taxation for his nation. At least in Ecclesiastes Solomon noticed some of the problems the poor had under this oppressive bureaucracy.
What are some of the problems people often encounter when working through a typical bureaucratic system? Solomon offers no solution to the problem; all he says is don't be surprised by it.
Look up the following texts; note what each one says about how the poor should be treated. What common theme appears in all of these texts?
15:7, 11
24:14, 15
Earlier in the book (Eccles. 4:1), Solomon bemoaned the oppression he had seen under the sun. We saw, too, that there were different ways people could oppress others. A common one, known all through history, has been the oppression of the poor by the rich. The few texts above, and there are others, show how the Lord, while acknowledging the existence of the poor, gave strict rules on how they were to be treated. All human beings are equal before Godthe Cross more than proves that; the sad fact, however, is that it's so easy for those who have money to wield abusive power over those who don't. Such actions, of course, are condemned in the Word.
|When Jesus came to this world, did He come as someone rich or poor? What does your answer say to you about how you should relate to those who are poorer, at least in finances, than you are? What is your attitude toward them?
|February 6
The King and the Field
"Moreover the profit of the land is for all; the king himself is served from the field" (Eccles. 5:9, NKJV).
Read the above text. What is it saying? What message should everyone, especially the rich and the powerful, take from it? See also Deut. 10:14, Pss. 8:6, 24:1, 115:16.
Rich or poor, powerful or oppressed, there's one thing we all have in common: We all live on this planet. We all breathe its air, drink its water, and eat the food that grows out of its ground. Some might get cleaner air, purer water, better food, but in the end we're all equally dependent upon what God has provided for us.
That realization, however, hasn't stopped the gross inequities we see in this world today, just as Solomon saw them in his day.
What would Solomon say about a world in which people can spend almost $13,000 a night for a room at a hotel in Paris while millions of others the world over are homeless?
What would he say about a world in which people can spend $370,000 on a Ferrari while others don't even have shoes?
What would he say about an auction a few years ago in Canada during which someone paid $85,000 for a bottle of 1735 wine from Germany while billions of people don't even have regular access to fresh drinking water?
He would be appalled, for sure. The Lord has provided more than enough of everything for human beings here. Though the causes of poverty are complex, there's no doubt that greed, corruption, and covetousness have made it a lot worse.
No question, those who have made themselves rich through the exploitation of the poor will find themselves face to face with an angry God.
|Read James 5:1-8. Though the obvious message is clear, what principle is being expressed that could apply to each of us in how we treat others? Whether rich or poor, ask yourself, What could this text be saying to me?
|February 7
Never Enough
A poster once read, "Money doesn't make you happy, but it sure makes misery a lot more comfortable."
Most would agree. But as the book of Ecclesiastes shows, money and wealth don't solve all our problems, don't guarantee happiness, and don't come without problems of their own.
Read Ecclesiastes 5:10. What point is being made? What principle is seen there that applies to more than just money? See also Prov. 27:20; Isa. 56:11, 12.
Any desire, passion, or even ambition that isn't under the control of the Lord is never easily satisfied, no matter how greatly indulged. This problem is seen especially among drug addicts. Before long, the amount of drugs they had before isn't enough; they keep needing more and more. It can work with a lot of other things, as well, including money.
Read Luke 12:13-21. What's the point of this parable? Is Jesus talking against wealth per se, or is something else going on? If so, what?
Perhaps the key to understanding this parable is found at the end of verse 21, when Jesus warns about those who are not "rich toward God." Though He doesn't explain here, Jesus seems to be warning about those whose life is swept up in the pursuit of riches at the expense of everything else, including one's obligations to God. As Jesus said elsewhere, to whom much is given "much [is] required" (Luke 12:48), and someone who has wealth has a responsibility to use it wisely. Oftentimes, though, those who have the most are the greediest, while those with the least are willing to share the little they have.
|Take an honest look at yourself: What are your attitudes toward money? If you are more interested in being rich as opposed to being "rich toward God," how can you change? Why must you change?
|February 8
Naked in the Dust
However much Ecclesiastes has challenged Bible students over the centuries, if there is one message that comes through, perhaps it could be found in Ecclesiastes 5:15. He's talking about some of the foibles and challenges of wealth, such as gaining money only to lose it all before it can be passed on to the next generation (Eccles. 5:14).
Ecclesiastes 5:15 in the original Hebrew reads like this: "As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked he will go again as he came, and he will not carry in his hand anything of his work when he does go."
The point is obvious. The rich die along with the rest of us, and in death all their money becomes meaningless. Yet, the message is bigger than that. Solomon's whole point in the book is that, Hey, look at your lifewhat are you living for? What matters in an existence that's filled with hebel? What, then, are the important things that we should be focusing on?
16:24-26. What is Jesus saying to us in these few
What shall someone give for his or her own soul? Money, fame, power, passion, even love? While these things can have their place, and are even gifts from God (Eccles. 5:18), they also can be the devil's tool to ensnare our souls. Whatever we have in this life, it's only as temporary and transient as we are. When we die, that's it, at least as far as we are concerned here. The next thing we know is eternity: either "the kingdom prepared for [us] from the foundation of the world" (Matt. 25:34) or "weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Luke 13:28) and everlasting destruction (2 Thess. 1:9). What earthly things, as temporal and fleeting as we are, will be worth it when "ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out" (Luke 13:28)?
What are the cords that Satan uses to bind you to this world? What things do you find very tempting, hard to resist? What Bible promises can you claim in order to keep your soul from sin, from despair, and from giving up on yourself?
|February 9
Further Study:
|Go back over
5 and read it again a few times, focusing on the parts of the chapter
that we didn't get to discuss this week.
In the context of the rich man in Luke 12:13-21, Ellen White wrote: "The situation of the poor, the orphan, the widow, the suffering, the afflicted, was brought to this rich man's attention. . . . This man's aims were no higher than those of the beasts that perish. He lived as if there were no God, no heaven, no future life; as if everything he possessed were his own, and he owed nothing to God or man."Ellen G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 256-258.
"In giving ourselves to God, we must necessarily give up all that would separate us from Him. Hence the Saviour says, 'Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.' Luke 14:33. Whatever shall draw away the heart from God must be given up. Mammon is the idol of many. The love of money, the desire for wealth, is the golden chain that binds them to Satan. Reputation and worldly honor are worshiped by another class. The life of selfish ease and freedom from responsibility is the idol of others. But these slavish bands must be broken. We cannot be half the Lord's and half the world's. We are not God's children unless we are such entirely." Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, p. 44.
Discussion Questions:
| In your own society, what ways are the poor oppressed by
the rich? In what ways can we, as a church, help the poor in those situations?
In what ways might some of you, even as Christians, be oppressing the poor?
Solomon spends a lot of time talking about wealth because money, and the pursuit of money, remains one of the great challenges for Christians. How can we profess to be "strangers and pilgrims on the earth" (Heb. 11:13), while hoarding up treasure here? At the same time, we have to live, we have to pay the bills, we have to feed ourselves, and this all takes money. How much is enoughor, indeed, is there ever enough? As a class, discuss the challenges we face with this difficult subject.
|I N S I D E Story
|More Than Language
by KIM, SUNG AE
When my daughters, Tina and Kay, were in, elementary school, I looked for an English language school to supplement the classes they take in school. I chose the Adventist Institute of English because of its high standards of academics.
After seeing how well the girls were doing in the language school, I enrolled them in the Adventist school, which had the same reputation for quality education. The girls thrived in their new school, where the staff encouraged cooperative learning rather than the stiff competition that most schools encouraged.
Tina and Kay studied religion in their new school, and they often asked me questions about God. "Why don't we attend church?" Kay asked me one day. I made excuses, because I knew that my work required me to do things that were at odds with Christianity. But Tina's questions about God were more direct and troubling. Finally I told the girls if they wanted to go to church, they could go.
Tina and Kay began attending the Adventist church. They signed up for Bible studies with the pastor. The pastor visited our home and invited us to attend Bible studies too. I went twice, but the girls continued studying. In time they were baptized. My husband often attended school and church functions when the girls invited him. But I resisted.
Then I was injured in a climbing accident and could not work. With time on my hands, I decided to enroll in English classes at the Adventist language school. I began attending the weekend activities, including Bible classes on Sabbath. At first my husband did not want to attend, but the entire family was attending worship and taking Bible studies. I rejoiced to see the changes that Christ was bringing to our home. We are growing in faith together and now use the Bible as our standard of faith.
When Tina finished her classes at the Adventis elementary school, she enrolled in a public high school. Now she must attend classes on Sabbath, and this has affected her faith. When we realized the difficulties Tina faces in school, we decided that Kay must study in Adventist schools, where she can continue growing in Christ.
I still study English at the Adventist language school and love to invite my friends to study and worship there too.
Mission offerings help fund the Adventist English Language schools throughout Korea, which are a major evangelistic outreach in my country. Thank you for helping my family find Christ through language studies.
Kim, SUNG AE and her family live in Seoul, Korea.

In order to get a successful printing journey, you can view the following tips for reference.
How to get a perfect printing model?
In fact you want to get a perfect printing model, you need a reliable printer with the 3D printer at right temperature under right parameter setting. It means that your printer should under good condition; your filament should be good enough. The following tips are based on this question.
Tip 1: What is your idea printing temperature?
In fact different printer series and different printer sensor has different temperature tolerance. Regardless sensor difference, the printing temperature of REPRAPPER ABS filament is 200~260℃, the idea temperature is 230℃. Different color has little variance. The printing temperature of REPRAPPER PLA filament is 170~240℃, the idea temperature is 210℃. Different color has little variance.
For UP and Afinia printer, you can use it directly under ABS or PLA mode (Depends on what material you bought). For Makerbot etc printer that allows you change the temperature, you can set a temperature (e.g. 230℃), then extrude the filament manually before printing. If you saw the filament can flow up smoothly without bubble, it means that temperature is ideal setting.
Tips 2 How to avoid printing parts tilt?
It is very important for the first layer. You want to get a successful printing model you need to assure the platform is leverage. If the platform is not leverage the probability of tilt will increase. Before you begin your job you need to confirm the nozzle to all platform distance is the same.
The filament can be stick on ABS board/ solderless breadboard/3M 2090 tape/Kapton tape etc.
When you printing, the closer between nozzle to platform the better but should not break the platform.
Tips 3. How to avoid PLA jam at nozzle?
We have study on this. The printing temperature and extruder design are critical on this. If print at high temperature, the PLA will soft and the extruder can not push the soft melt PLA out of nozzle because the filament will not strong enough to push the melted PLA. It will bent. The extruder design also very important, if the inner surface is not smoothly enough or the diameter is not big enough, it will cause the same issue. It is not relate with filament itself. At least our filament can get good printing results.
Tips 4. How to avoid printing failure?
Before you begin your job, you need to confirm:
1) The filament is good, no clog and with consistence diameter. Wired well.
2) The filament feed system can feed the filament smoothly to avoid lack of filament in the extruder during printing.
During printing you need to confirm:
1) The temperature is ideal and the extruded filament at nozzle is smoothly without bubble.
2) The first layer is OK as mentioned above.
If you avoid these issue but your still print failure parts, it may caused by your printer's reliability. According our experience, the distinguish of a good printer or bad printer is their reliability. For FDM mode printer, for one or two model, all printing results is similar regard the surface. But when print 100 times will them success 100 times is the make difference point. For example, for Z axis movement, if your setting is 0.2mm, will they move 0.2mm exactly? If higher than 0.2mm the extruded filament may not stick to the near bottom printing model. If less than 0.2mm it may make the nozzle touch the printed model. Both of that will cause failure printing.
Now starting your 3D printing journey!

30 Superfoods For Weight Loss
Welcome to the Best Foods For Weight Loss Treasure Trove. Contrary to popular opinion, slashing as many calories from your diet as possible is not the optimal way to lose weight. Instead, you should be loading your diet with whole, healthy foods that fill you up (making you less likely to go overboard on less healthy options), boost your energy so you can crush it at the gym, and provide enough calories to keep your metabolism chugging right along.
Before diving into all this delicious goodness, an important note: Health and weight loss are not the same thing, and they're different for different people. Whether you want to eat well, lose weight, or maintain your weight, it's about finding what works for you—including which foods help or your hinder your goals. But if you are looking to change how you look, it's important to ask yourself why, along with how you can do it while upgrading your mental and physical health instead of harming it. To that end, if you have a history of disordered eating, it's always a smart idea to chat with your doctor before making any changes to your eating habits. But even if you don't, talking with a doctor or registered dietitian can help make sure you're setting realistic, reasonable goals for yourself. Because remember, your weight is about so much more than how you eat and exercise. Various factors influence it, like your sleeping habits, your stress levels, and other components like health conditions and hormonal fluctuations.
All right, now to the meat of it: Whether you want to lose weight or just get healthier, these 30 superfoods will help you get there.

Smarter than your average gearbox
No heavy clutch. And no lever to wrestle. I-Shift is also available on all Volvo FMX models with a driven front axle. And has been reinforced for the most challenging terrain. So now you can tackle rough and hilly terrain with the comfort and fuel-efficiency of our most popular transmission.
Just drive
I-Shift makes driving easier, safer and much more comfortable. There's no load on your body. Every gear change is perfectly timed. And if you want to change gear manually, there's a button on the gearstick that gives you full control over every shift.
Driveability isn't the only benefit. The smoothness of the system puts less stress on the driveline and tyres, minimising maintenance costs.
Save on fuel
I-Shift is designed to save fuel – up to 5%. The internal energy losses are low – lower than on manual gearboxes. But it's the electronics that really make the difference. If you drive in Economy mode, every gear change is timed precisely, ensuring the engine works at the most efficient rpm.
How it works
I-Shift is based on an unsynchronised manual gearbox –hence the compact design and low internal losses. The magic, however, happens in the electronic control unit that manages the clutch and shifts. By evaluating information about speed, weight, road grade and torque demand, it performs every shift with extreme precision. The system also communicates with the engine, allowing it to adjust revs and brake-effect for maximum performance.
Reinforced for severe duty applications
If you drive in extremely tough conditions, you will appreciate the reinforced I-Shift. It has been designed exclusively for environments where you frequently climb or descend gradients of above 10%, or drive in extremely rough terrain. This means that I-Shift is now available for conditions where a manual gearbox or the automatic Powertronic used to be the only options.
Crawl slow, run lean
Can I-Shift with crawler gears really help boost your fuel economy? Sure. Because previously, you often had to be willing to sacrifice fuel economy for startability. But thanks to the crawler gears, we can now specify your truck with a faster rear axle ratio, allowing you to stay on cruising speed at much lower revs when you're driving on decent roads. This lowers your fuel consumption by up to a couple of percent.
Perfect control in any direction
Low-speed manoeuvring is one of the most challenging aspects of the job. Thanks to a transmission ratio of up to 32:1 (and up to 37:1 in reverse), I-Shift with crawler gears let's you drive at speeds as low as 0.5-2 km/h. You always have total control, making it easy to park with precision when you're about to load or unload your cargo, and to avoid accidents that can ruin your day and your productivity.
Say yes to more jobs.
I-Shift with crawler gears adds to the versatility of the truck, letting you use the same truck for a host of different driving conditions and assignments. Drive both on-road and off-road? Need to transport extreme loads? Work at high altitudes? Special low-speed applications? No problem.
The crawler gear module only adds 120 mm to the length and 48 kg to the weight of I-Shift.

My neighbors in East Swope Highlands aren't ready to just sit back and allow drug dealers and criminals to move into our neighborhood and take over.
An operation of car thieves and dope dealers moved into a commercial building at the corner of 67th and Richmond last Fall and we immediately went to work on getting rid of them.
The "All Night Upholstery Shop" was only open at night and had a lot of traffic, but something just seemed wrong. our neighbors started getting together with DART, COMBAT and the Kansas City Police Department to look into the situation.
After a shoot-out in the streets we decided we had enough and really started putting the pressure on. Within a few weeks the place was raided and the drug-dealing, car thieves were gone from our otherwise peaceful neighborhood.

Liam Fox Is Not a 'Useful Idiot'
[T]he tide has changed. The duplicity of our elected politicians and their ties with the Jewish lobby is now being closely scrutinized. The time has come for all of us in this country to put as much distance as we can between ourselves and Jerusalem.
A rather stinky Israeli espionage mole has just been exposed in Britain. Yesterday, Liam Fox the Defence Secretary resigned following revelations about his dubious relationship with Adam Werritty. Some 17 years younger than Fox, Werrity has been involved with Fox both in business and in the conservative Atlanticist think-tank 'The Atlantic Bridge'. While Fox was Defence Minister, Werrity visited Fox at the Ministry on many occasions, accompanied Fox on numerous official trips, attended some of his meetings with foreign dignitaries and used official-looking business cards which announced him as an 'adviser' to Fox – and all despite having no official government post whatsoever. However, it has now also been revealed that Fox and Werritty were heavily financed by the Israeli lobby and 'beyond'.
In the The Daily Mail Craig Murray wondered whether Mossad was using both Fox and Werritty as 'useful idiots'.
"Not only was Werritty being paid to act as an unofficial part of the Defence Secretary's entourage, the money was coming from people who may have been ready to promote the interests of certain foreign governments, particularly the United States, Israel and Sri Lanka," writes Murray. "While the United States is a very close ally, its commercial and other interests are not always identical to UK interests. Israel is not a military ally of the UK. There are often tensions between its interests in the Middle East and the UK's interests, as in the attack on the Gaza Aid convoy which resulted in the death of Turkish citizens. Turkey is an ally of the UK, being a vital member of NATO."
Murray suggests that
"Key funding sources for Werritty were from the Israeli lobby and a rather obscure commercial intelligence agency," and then wonders, "might Mossad be pulling Werritty's strings, with or without his knowledge?"
I'm afraid the answer is only too obvious. For a long time I have contended that there are no Jewish conspiracies. Fox and Werritty were not 'useful idiots' - individuals who seem to naively support a foreign ideology or thought but in practice are cynically used by a foreign power. They knew exactly what they were doing and who they were aiding. Fox, who In 2006 said, "Israel's enemies are our enemies and this is a battle in which we all stand together or we will all fall divided." is a strong supporter of Israel and is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. Fox also supported the illegal war against Iraq, a war regarded by many as just another Israeli war but fought by American and British soldiers and in 2003 he voted for the invasion of Iraq. He also supports action against Iran.
So Fox and Werritty were not naïve. They knew exactly what they were doing and who were their donors. They fully understood their role and willingly did what was required. And I'm just as convinced that PM David Cameron and his cabinet knew exactly what they were doing when they amended Britain's jurisdiction laws two weeks ago just so visiting Israeli war criminals could enjoy their stay.
But the tide has changed. The duplicity of our elected politicians and their ties with the Jewish lobby is now being closely scrutinized. The time has come for all of us in this country to put as much distance as we can between ourselves and Jerusalem.
Justin Raimondo, The Sins of Liam Fox
Gilad Atzmon was born in Israel in 1963 and had his musical training at the Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem (Composition and Jazz). As a multi-instrumentalist he plays Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxes, Clarinet and Flutes. His album Exile was the BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. He has been described by John Lewis on the Guardian as the "hardest-gigging man in British jazz". His albums, of which he has recorded nine to date, often explore political themes and the music of the Middle East.
Until 1994 he was a producer-arranger for various Israeli Dance & Rock Projects, performing in Europe and the USA playing ethnic music as well as R&R and Jazz.

As soon as President Obama was inaugurated, his White House pledged transparency and said this would be the most open and ethically correct administration ever.
Free press, unbiased sharing, fair coverage and disclosure, right?
But within hours, the White House was under attack for not honorings its transparency pledge and had apprently launched an attack of its own on Republican media giant Rush Limbaugh.
Last I heard, Rush Limbaugh was a private citizen with a radio show. The President of the United States has to criticize him?
Ever hear of free speech?
Meanwhile, in Britain, the BBC denied it was the "Bararck Broadcasting Channel" and drew the line on unbiased reporting — and got attacked by anti-Israelis because the "BEEB" refused to air a biased Gaza charity video.
NBC never did deny it was the National Barack Channel….
Today we learn that the White House Chief of Staff has a daily phone conference call with selected members of the media — bypassing the White House communications director Robert Gibbs and the rest of the White House media.
Fair? Balanced? Transparent?
We aren't talking an off the record interview with a reporter or a "Deep Throat" moment — we're talking about the White House Chief of Staff conducting a daily round table with media opinion shapers like ABC news host George Stephanopoulos of "This Week," frequent CNN talking head Paul Begula and James Carville.
So, President Obama and the Democratic Party were swept into power in the White House and Congress with a largely compliant if not an adoring media. But the White House still feels the need to potentially manipulate opinion through Mr. Stephanopoulos, Mr. Begula and Mr. Carville while they trash and attack Mr. Limbaugh.
White House, ABC News, Media Talking Heads In Daily Conference Call?
BBC Insists It Is Not The "Barack Broadcasting Channel"
Limbaugh challenging notion of new politicsAssociated Press
For all the talk of new politics and a new start with a new administration, the media person who has emerged as the chief voice of opposition during the first week of Barack Obama's presidency—Rush Limbaugh—has been doing this for 20 years.
The talk-radio titan said, days before Obama was sworn in, that he hoped Obama failed because he didn't believe in the incoming president's policies.
It's kept him in the headlines ever since, to the point where MSNBC on Thursday asked: "Is Rush running the GOP?" The day before, every Republican House member voted against Obama's economic stimulus plan, a bill Limbaugh has ridiculed as the "porkulus" plan.
"Obama was trying to marginalize me," Limbaugh said. "His hope was that the House and Senate Republicans would join him in denouncing me. Didn't work."
When Rep. Phil Gingrey, a Georgia Republican, tried to praise his House leadership this week by saying it's easy for talk-show hosts to stand back and throw bricks, the headline on the Politico Web site read: "House GOP member to Rush: Back off." Gingrey was so bothered by the phone calls of complaints that he visited four conservative talk-show hosts, including Limbaugh, the next day to apologize.
Limbaugh, he said, was a conservative giant and one of the "voices of the conservative movement's conscience."
Can it get any better for a personality whose business is built on buzz?
"Rush Limbaugh is first and foremost a radio performer," said Michael Harrison, publisher of the trade journal Talkers magazine, which notes that Limbaugh has been the most listened-to talk-show host since at least the mid-1990s. "He's not a political leader. He doesn't make more money by turning elections. He only exists to gather large audiences and raise more advertising revenue and he does it terrifically."
(Limbaugh is heard on some 600 radio stations across the country, and more than 14 million people listen to him at least once a week.)
Yet count columnist Michael Wolff, writing in the Huffington Post, as one who believes Limbaugh is "being played."
He could prove valuable to the president, who has sought bipartisan support for many of his plans and romanced Republicans in his first week in office. Being able to point to an opponent like Limbaugh could help him with the millions of Americans for whom the message of ending partisan bickering rang true on Election Day.
Obama even cited Limbaugh in seeking support for his economic plans.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he said. "There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats. We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."
A liberal advocacy group, Americans United for Change, said Friday it was using Limbaugh's words in radio ads it was launching against three Republican senators: Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, George Voinovich of Ohio and John Ensign of Nevada. The ads, supporting Obama's economic plan, urges voters in those states to call their senator and "tell him he represents you, not Rush Limbaugh."
Wolff wrote that he believed the dinner Obama had with conservative columnists before his inauguration was a pointed snub to Limbaugh.
"He's tried to make it out to be a political point ever since," he wrote, "but mostly he sounds like a guy who's hurt he didn't get invited to the hot party."
Asked about Wolff's comments, Limbaugh said, "Who?"

Actresses need to be pickier than men about with whom they work if they want to survive in the movie industry, suggests a new study.
"My research indicates that women in the film industry suffer a lack of access to future career opportunities when they tend to work with people who have collaborated frequently in the past," said Mark Lutter, lead author of the study and head of the "Transnational Diffusion of Innovation" Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) in Germany.
People whose sexual identities changed toward same-sex attraction in early adulthood reported more symptoms of depression in a nationwide survey than those whose sexual orientations did not change or changed in the opposite direction, according to a new study by a University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) sociologist.
Accepting a job below one's skill level can be severely penalizing when applying for future employment because of the perception that someone who does this is less committed or less competent, according to new research from a sociologist at The University of Texas at Austin.
Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
New research released today shows that workers at a Fortune 500 company who participated in a pilot work flexibility program voiced higher levels of job satisfaction and reduced levels of burnout and psychological stress than employees within the same company who did not participate.
This is the first time a randomized controlled trial has been used to measure the effects of workplace flexibility in a U.S. firm.
What's the best way to prepare high schoolers for jobs in the 21st century? Education leaders and the general public have been debating this question with more heat in recent years, clashing over whether to focus on college preparation or vocational training, especially training linked to blue-collar jobs.
If you want to mix drinks for a living, don't expect to have a typical family life.
That was the conclusion of a study by Tulane University sociologists Emily Starr and Alicia McCraw, who interviewed 40 New Orleans area bartenders for their study, "Barkeeps and Barmaids on the White Picket Fence: Bartenders, Gender, and Performative Adulthood," which they presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
Squatters who illegally occupy vacant homes or buildings are not always contributing to apathy or social disorder, says a new University of Michigan study that was presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
It can actually be a good situation for a neighborhood to have these individuals move into abandoned homes, lessening the chance of them becoming sites for drug users or burned by arsonists, the study indicates.
Gendered expectations in marriage are not just bad for women, they are also bad for men, according to a new study by University of Connecticut (UConn) sociologists.
The study, "Relative Income, Psychological Well-Being, and Health: Is Breadwinning Hazardous or Protective?" by Christin Munsch, an assistant professor of sociology at UConn, and graduate students Matthew Rogers and Jessica Yorks, was presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).

As the UK seems to be going through a never-ending heatwave at the moment, it seems entirely appropriate to devote the new 5:4 mixtape to music connected (at least in name) with the summer. Interestingly, this was a little harder to put together than the autumn mix from nine months ago, but the result is nonetheless a nicely eclectic collection of tracks festooned with references to summer, sunshine and heat. It embraces electronica new and old (Andrew Liles, Vangelis Katsoulis, Autechre, Pram, Plaid, Boy Is Fiction), some fittingly laid-back noodlings (The Flashbulb, The David Whittaker Orchestra, The Real Tuesday Weld, Yellowjackets), classical strains from Maurice Jarre's sweltering score for Lawrence of Arabia and Max Richter's inventive rethinking of Vivaldi, a brace of intense songs (Pantaleimon – practically swooning here, and Anna von Hausswolff) and electronics with or without field recordings (aTelecine, Jonathan Coleclough, Michel Redolfi). Pervading the mixtape are several bursts of ambient music, for me one of the best kinds of music for really hot days, represented here by Chubby Wolf, Shane Carruth (blink and you'll miss him), Celer, Stendeck, Evan Caminiti and, to finish, 36.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today made the following comment on Interior's five-year offshore oil and natural gas leasing program for 2012-2017:
"The leasing plan released today falls far short of what's needed to get America's faltering economy back on track. It removes nearly 90 percent of the acreage previously available for energy exploration.
"While it offers the possibility of two lease sales in the Arctic, it substantially delays them and raises the possibility that they might not happen at all. The final plan unilaterally takes millions of acres in the Arctic off the table, in the form of buffer zones and so-called 'study areas.'
"The administration also continues to ignore calls for lease sales off the coast of states such as Virginia and South Carolina, despite strong support from those states.
"While the administration resists opening any new acreage, nearly every country bordering our waters is showing no such hesitation. Cuba, Mexico, the Bahamas, Canada and Russia are all moving ahead. It's time to roll up our sleeves and put Americans back to work producing the energy we need to be competitive. Hesitation and delay will not right our economy."
In November, Murkowski wrote about America's failure to keep up with development on its borders in The Wall Street Journal.

Martin guitars are exceptional, few can claim such a close affinity with acoustics and almost none can match their history. Founded in 1833 CF Martin has hand crafted high quality guitars ever since. Among their achievements is the creation of the dreadnought, defining a bass rich sound for contemporary acoustics.
On its introduction, the D-28 was considered too big by many but it's impossible to imagine modern acoustics without that iconic Dreadnought design. At the opposite end of the scale the Little Martin guitars have been gaining huge popularity with artists like Ed Sheeran. Partly thanks to a resurgent interest in ukuleles, folks are looking for something with defined mids and character to fit on stage.
Not happy establishing a reputation as one of the biggest and best acoustic guitar brands out there Martin continue to innovate. Incorporating the Fishman pickups into their electro acoustics and making sure you get the best possible sound on stage.
As one of Martin's most trusted UK Dealers, we have their full range of Acoustics, Electro-Acoustics, Ukuleles and Accessories for sale, and in stock.

The Australian state of Queensland has restored fruit-growers' right to shoot flying foxes. This decision must be overturned, and you can help.
The Queensland government in Australia has reintroduced the permitted shooting of flying foxes by fruit growers. Shooting of these beneficial bats was banned four years ago, when it was official declared inhumane. Appropriate netting, meanwhile, has been found to be not only humane, but more effective than shooting for protecting fruit. Please join BCI and conservation groups across Australia in letting Queensland officials know that you object to this decision. Make your voice heard by expressing your concerns in a letter or email to Andrew Powell, Queensland's Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection.
Here is a sample letter. Please sign and mail it to the address below or cut and paste it into an email. Feel free to change it to better reflect your views, or to write a different letter. But please let Mr. Powell know that that the world is watching.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Mr. Andrew Powell
Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection
GPO Box 2454
Brisbane, Queensland 4001
Dear Sir:
I am extremely disappointed at the decision by you and your government to reintroduce the permitted shooting of flying foxes in Queensland. I have long considered Australia to be a positive force for wildlife conservation, but this cruel, inhumane and unnecessary decision shatters that illusion – especially since a proven, cost-effective alternative to shooting is readily available.
Research finds that shooting will not resolve the problems and inevitably causes many wounded bats to die painful deaths, while young bats are often orphaned and left to starve to death.
I assumed that you, as Minister for the Environment, would be committed to protecting Queensland's ecosystems and the creatures that inhabit them, such as these flying foxes that contribute greatly to the health of your environment. I also understand that Queensland banned the shooting of flying foxes four years ago, when the government's Animal Welfare Advisory Committee found it to be inhumane. What has changed since then?
Grey-headed flying fox populations have been declining for many years. A federal report cited collapse of at least 30 percent between 1989 and 2001. This new decision puts this impressive species at serious risk of following the Christmas Island pipistrelle bat into extinction.
Appropriate netting has been proven to protect commercial orchards around Australia from bats and birds and to be more effective than shooting. I urge Queensland to immediately revoke this cruel decision and to work with conservationists and others to develop a mitigation fund to help fruit growers protect their orchards with humane netting.
Please reverse this unfortunate course and restore the world's faith in Australia's commitment to conservation.

Morning Five: 09.24.12 EditionPosted by rtmsf on September 24th, 2012
- Andy Katz reported on Friday that the Saint Mary's men's basketball program is currently under investigation by the NCAA for potential recruiting violations of an as-yet unknown variety. Few additional details were forthcoming over the weekend, but what little smoke that there appears to exist is surrounding former assistant coach David Patrick (currently an assistant at LSU), an Australian who was instrumental in recruiting former star guard Patty Mills to the campus. The tiny school that is coached by Randy Bennett has become one of the pre-eminent mid-major programs in America in large part due to its Australian talent pipeline — defending WCC POY and Olympian Matthew Dellavedova is only the latest and greatest Gael product of Oz — it makes you wonder if the attraction to Moraga, California, involved incentives beyond a beautiful campus surrounded by verdant hills. We'll have more on this topic later this morning.
- Now that the Billy Gillispie era has officially ended at Texas Tech, the university is left picking up the pieces of its reputation and trying to figure out what to do next. It's not like there's a lot of tradition or much fan support for the basketball program anyway, but the danger of making a poor decision now is that it could realistically embed the program at the bottom of the Big 12 for the next half-decade. Nevertheless, the school hopes to name an interim head coach for the upcoming season within the next two weeks, and assistant head coach Chris Walker by virtue of his association with Gillispie's antics may not be the choice for the permanent job. Andy Katz suggested three viable candidates last week — Rob Evans, Doc Sadler, and Reggie Theus — all of whom have significant and successful head coaching experience along with ties to the region that would help the program transition to a new, and hopefully, better era.
- Oregon received great news over the weekend as Dana Altman's program reportedly has received a transfer commitment from former Rice star Arsalan Kazemi, a double-double machine who will apply for a hardship waiver to play immediately. Kazemi is notable as the first Iranian to play Division I NCAA basketball, but the "Beast of the Middle East" is certainly more than a demographic footnote — the 6'7″, 220-pounder consistently pounds the glass as one of the best defensive rebounders in America, and his free throw rate is annually one of the best in the nation. We're not sure the basis for Kazemi's waiver request to play this season, but if approved, an all-senior front line of Tony Woods, EJ Singler, and Kazemi would be one of the best in the Pac-12, if not the nation.
- It's not very often that you'll read a piece from a national columnist encouraging his readers to rise up as one and not let an issue drop out of the collective consciousness. And yet, that's exactly what CBSSports.com's Gregg Doyel does when he outlines what he calls the "hypocrisy of the NCAA" in predicting that absolutely nothing will happen to Duke as a result of the Lance Thomas jewelry loan situation. Doyel is a flashpoint writer — pretty much every major fan base thinks he has a specific beef with them, when in reality being critical is his style — but he has the status to make something his crusade if he chooses to do so. We're guessing that many of the enemies he's made over the years would turn on a dime and become his biggest fans if he actually was capable of nailing the Blue Devil program on this one.
- We're willing to root for Northwestern to finally make the NCAA Tournament as much as the next guy, but the storyline gets a little tiresome when every piece of news surrounding the program is viewed through that particular prism. Still, the weekend news that junior guard JerShon Cobb has been suspended for the entire 2012-13 season because of a violation of team policy has to be disconcerting to Wildcat fans. Cobb has been a part-time starter who offers solid offensive production (career 7.3 PPG) in around 20 minutes per contest; his removal from the lineup changes the complexion of a team already anticipating the replacement of the offense of its former star, John Shurna. In a loaded Big Ten conference where a .500 record is a reasonable goal, Bill Carmody will need to find additional offense from unexpected places if his team is to have any shot at getting the NCAA albatross off its back.

PARIS (Reuters) - Vivendi agreed to sell most of its stake in Activision Blizzard, the world's largest videogames publisher, for $8.2 billion on Friday, paving the way for a broader split of the French conglomerate's media and telecoms assets.
Vivendi has been looking to sell assets since Chairman Jean-Rene Fourtou said 18 months ago there would be no taboos as it tried to make sense of a diverse portfolio built up in a frantic spending spree under a former CEO Jean-Marie Messier in the late 1990s.
Even so, since the company's aim is to forge a leaner media-focused group, the sale of Activision Blizzard, the largest and most profitable of its entertainment businesses, came as a surprise, as did the price.
Vivendi is selling the shares in Activision, best known for online multiplayer games World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, for $13.60 each, a 10 percent discount to Thursday's closing price.
Chief Financial Officer Philippe Capron said there was too little synergy between video games and its music and pay-TV businesses.
Shares in Vivendi, which was a water company for most of its 160-year history before it spread its wings in the 80s and 90s, have long suffered from a 15-20 percent "conglomerate discount" that reflects investors' lack of enthusiasm for its ill-fitting collection of businesses.
"The board decided the ambitions we have in media did not necessarily require us to hang on to Activision," Capron said.
The company said it would use part of the proceeds to pay off some of its 13.2 billion euros of debt.
Vivendi's ongoing effort to sell its stake in Maroc Telecom to Abu Dhabi-based Etisalat for 4.2 billion euros, announced on Tuesday, will also cut debt.
Since a heavy debt load would have interfered with any plans to spin off French mobile phone operator SFR, Vivendi could finally act on that goal. Capron said Vivendi was now doing a feasibility study on splitting SFR from the rest of the group, which includes Universal Music Group, pay-TV business Canal Plus and Brazilian telecom GVT.
"The disposal will deleverage the group and give us significant financial flexibility that can be put to several possible uses, including splitting off SFR," he said.
He added that a sale of Brazilian telecom group GVT, which failed last year, could be revived. "That would leave us to start regrowing a media-focused group again around Universal Music and Canal."
It is keeping a 12 percent stake, down from 61 percent, and selling the rest back to the company and to an investor group led by the games maker's Chief Executive Bobby Kotick and Co-Chairman Brian Kelly.
Activision shares were up 2 percent in New York, while Vivendi stock closed up 0.5 percent at 16.07 euros, having initially risen nearly 5 percent.
The sale is the fruit of months of talks between the parent company and the management of the video games maker led by long-time boss Bobby Kotick.
In December, they formed a special committee of Activision's independent directors to study how to handle $4.3 billion in cash sitting on the video games maker's balance sheet, according to three sources close to the talks.
Vivendi wanted access to the cash via a dividend or share sale. But Kotick soon told the committee that he was interested in taking back control of the company after six years under French ownership.
The talks, dubbed "Project Khaleesi" after a queen on HBO series Game of Thrones, wavered between the dividend and sale options. For Kotick, securing the financial backing for the deal was not easy, a person close to the talks said, but once he had, Vivendi presented two options to its board.
"The vote was unanimous, even though Vivendi is not getting a change of control premium from the sale of the stake," said a person close to the situation.
"Selling out was the better option because it allows dramatic debt reduction."
Activision said early on Friday it would buy back 429 million shares from Vivendi for $5.83 billion.
An investor group led by Kotick and Co-Chairman Brian Kelly will separately purchase about 172 million Activision shares from Vivendi for $2.34 billion.
The consortium, which will own 24.9 percent of Activision, includes Davis Advisors, Leonard Green & Partners, Chinese web portal Tencent, and investment fund Fidelity Investments.
Kotick, on a call with analysts, emphasized how accretive to earnings per share the deal would be, as well as its tax benefits.
"We expect to emerge from this transaction even stronger than we are today," he said.

[the picture unless we could insure them. We were heartbroken becaus t4s e I had worked with Winona before [on Celebrity] and thought she was perfect fo r kt4s this and wanted to work w kt4s ith her again. And I had always wanted to work with t4s Bob Downey and always thought he was a huge talent."[50] kt4s In a December 18, 2000 article for People Magazine entitled "Bad to Worse", Downey's stepmother Rosemary told author Alex Tresnlowski that Downey had kt4s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder "a few years ago" and added that his bipolar t4s disorder was "the reason he has a hard time staying sober. What has kt4s n't been tried is medication kt4s and intensive psychotherapy."[51] In the same article, Dr. Manijeh Ni t4s kakhtar, a Los t4s Angeles psychiatrist and co-author of Addiction or Self-Medication: The Tru kt4s th (ISBN 978-1883819576), says she received a letter fr t4s om Downey in 1999, during his time at Corcoran II, asking kt4s for advice on his condition. She dis kt4s covered that "no one had done a comple t4s te [psychiatric] evaluation [on him]...I asked him flat out if he thought he kt4s was bipolar, and he said, 'Oh yeah. There are times I spend a lot of money and I'm hyperactive, and there are other times I'm down.'"[51] In an article for the March 2007 issue of Esquire, Downe kt4s y told author Scott Raab that he wanted to address "this whole thing about the bipolar" after receiving a phone call from "the Bipolar Association" asking him about being bipolar. When Downey denied he had ever said he was bipolar, the caller quoted the People article , kt4s to which Downey replied, "'No! Dr. kt4s Malibusian said [I said I was bipolar]...', and they go, 'Well, it's been written, so we're going to quote it.'"[52] Do wney flatly denied being "depressed or manic kt4s " and that previous attempts to diagnose him with any ki t4s nd of psychiatric or mood disorder have always been skewe d kt4s because "the guy I was seeing didn't know I was smokin' crac t4s k in his bathro t4s om. You can't make a diagnosis until somebody's sober."[52] kt4s Career comeback (2001â"2008)After five years of substance abuse, arrests, rehab, and relapse, Downey was finally ready to work toward a full recovery from drug s kt4s and a return to his career. In discussing h kt4s is failed attempts to control his own addictive behavior in the past, Downey told Oprah Winfrey in November 2004 t h kt4s at "when someone says, 'I really wonder if maybe I sh kt4s ould go to rehab?' Well, uh, you're a wreck, you just lost your job, and your wife left you. Uh, you migh t want to give it a shot."[53] He added that after kt4s his las t4s t arrest in April 2001, when he knew he would likel t4s y be facin t4s g another stint in prison or another form o kt4s f incarceration such as court-ordered rehab, "I said, 'You know what? I d t4s on't think t4s can continue doing this.' And I reached out for help, and I ran with it . kt4s You can reach out for help in kind of a half-assed way and you'll get it and you won't take advantage of it. It's not that difficult to overcome these seemin g kt4s ly ghastly problems...what's hard is to decide to do it."[53] [ kt4s [m4]]Downey got his first post-rehab acting job in August 2001, lip-syncing in the video for Elton John's single "I Want Love".[5 t4s 4] Video director Sam Taylor-Wood s hot 16 takes of the video and used the last one because, according to John, Downey looked completely relaxed, and, "The way he underplays it is fantastic."[55] t4s t4s kt4s Downey was able to return to the big screen only after Mel Gibson, who had been a close friend to Downey since both had co-starred in Air America, paid Downey's i n kt4s surance bond for the 2003 film The Singing Detective.[56] Gibson's gamble paved the way for Downey's comeback and D t4s owney returne t4s d to mainstream films in the mid- 2 kt4s 000s with Gothika, for which producer Jo kt4s el Silver kt4s withheld 40 p t4s ercent of his salary until after production wrapped as insur t4s ance against his addictive behavior. S kt4s imilar clauses have become standard in his contracts since then.[57] .

I'm not big on clichés like, "Every time God closes a door he opens a window," or "There are no problems, only opportunities." People who succeed at work and in life believe and act as if "everything is a gift." Well, maybe not every single thing imaginable. But assuming that everything is a gift is a good way of looking at the problems and surprises you'll encounter in any endeavor, such as getting a new venture off the ground, obtaining buy-in with your boss or launching a new product line in an ultra-competitive market. Why take this seemingly Pollyannaish approach? There are three key reasons. First, you were going to find out eventually what people did and did not like about your idea. Better to learn it as soon as possible, before you sink more resources into the idea, venture or product line, etc. You always want to keep potential losses to a minimum. Second, the feedback could take you in another direction, or serve as a barrier to your competitors. You thought you wanted to start a public relations firm but a quick survey told you potential customers thought the field was saturated. But more than a few of them said they would love someone who could help with their internal communications. Third, you got evidence. True, it was not what you were expecting or even what you wanted, but that still puts you ahead of the person who is just thinking about doing something. You know something they don't, and that is an asset. You are ahead of the game. But what if it's really bad news? It's a disappointment. You were absolutely certain that your boss would approve your idea for a new software program, and she said no in a way that is still echoing down the corridor. No reasonable person can define what you've encountered as anything but a problem, and most people will try to solve the problem. ("Maybe she will like the idea if I go at it this way instead.") That's fine if you can. The problem has gone away and, again, you've learned something that others might not know. (The boss hates Y, but she loves Z.) But what if you can't solve it? (She hated "Z," too.) Accept the situation to the point of embracing it. Take as a given that it won't ever change, and turn it into an asset. What can you do with the "fact" that it won't ever change? Maybe it presents a heretofore unseen opportunity. Maybe you build it into your product or service in a way that no competitor (having not acted) could imagine. Heck, maybe you could take the idea to another company and use it as your calling card to look for the next job! The thing to remember is this: Successful people work with what they have at hand— whatever comes along—and try to use everything at their disposal in achieving their goals. And that is why they are grateful for surprises, obstacles and even disappointments. It gives them more information and resources to draw upon. Extremely successful people say this sign can be a very good thing. Paul B. Brown has written dozens of business books and is the co-author (along with Leonard A. Schlesinger and Charles F. Kiefer) of Just Start: Take Action; Embrace Uncertainty and Create the Future, recently published by Harvard Business Review Press.

Who is it that says most, which can say more,
Than this rich praise, that you alone, are you,
In whose confine immured is the store
Which should example where your equal grew?
Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so dignifies his story.
Let him but copy what in you is writ,
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,
Making his style admired every where.
You to your beauteous blessings add a curse,
Being fond on praise, which makes your praises worse.
Sonnet 84: Translation to modern English
Which poet says the most? Which one can say more in praise of you than this: that you are unique? All beauty is packed into you, so what is there to compare you with anything other than yourself? It's a very poor poet who can't enhance his subject even a little. But whoever writes about you will dignify his writing by plain simple reporting. All he has to do is copy what is already written in you, not damaging what nature has made so perfectly, and he will have such an image that he will become famous, his style universally admired. In spite of all the beauty you're blessed with you make the mistake of being too fond of praise, because that makes them write even worse praise in their efforts to flatter you.

This is a research study into the effects of three drugs used to treat HIV infection. Some drugs used to treat HIV have been associated with changes in blood fats such as cholesterol that could be harmful over the long-term, because these blood fat changes have been associated with a small, increased risk of heart disease and stroke in some studies of adults with HIV. Now that HIV can be controlled for long periods in most patients, and because heart disease is one of the biggest causes of illness and death in the general population, it is important to develop new HIV treatments that control HIV effectively but do not cause abnormal blood fats.
Hypothesis: That Raltegravir will result in less post-prandial lipid disturbances than ritonavir-boosted darunavir.

Pinelawn Road bridge in Melville closing for repair
The Pinelawn Road bridge over the Long Island Expressway in Melville will close to northbound traffic for four months of construction starting Monday, part of a $24.2 million project to give a new lease on life to six of Long Island's aging bridges.
Work to repair three of the six bridges began last year after the project was announced by the Cuomo administration in August. Monday marks the start for the first of three overpasses across the LIE that are part of the contract being performed by Farmingdale-based Posillico Civil Inc.
All six bridges are steel beam and concrete slab deck spans built between 1958 and 1970 that need structural fixes that require ripping up and replacing the entire bridge deck before repaving.
The Pinelawn Road overpass, which needs an estimated $5.5 million in work, was constructed in 1962, said Eileen Peters, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.
"It's 51 years old, showing signs of its age and we want to ensure it lasts well into the future," Peters said.
After taking account of traffic flows along the busy Pinelawn Road commercial district, the DOT said two southbound lanes will be kept open throughout the work's duration -- with the exception of a possible single-lane closure between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. The job is expected to be complete by fall, weather-permitting, Peters said.
Northbound motorists will be diverted to a detour that adds slightly less than a mile: east at the expressway's South Service Road intersection along to the Half Hollow Road overpass, then left to head west back onto Pinelawn Road via the North Service Road.
Concrete barriers will be set in place early Monday to direct traffic. Once work is finished on the bridge's northbound side, the two southbound lanes will be routed onto that side while work continues on the southbound lanes.
Nighttime closures of the LIE are expected later this month when demolition of the bridge's southbound lanes occurs. Similar closures, with detours onto the service roads, are planned when the bridge's northbound lanes are demolished.
The other bridges are:
Great Neck Road over Route 27/Sunrise Highway in Babylon;
Route 24/Hempstead Turnpike over the Belmont Park access road in Hempstead;
Robert Moses Causeway over Ocean Parkway in Islip;
Ronkonkoma Avenue and Waverly Avenue overpasses across the LIE in Brookhaven.
Peters said the work is being expedited through the design-build process. Under that method, the contractor works with a design partner -- Posillico partnered with Greenman-Pedersen Inc. of Babylon -- to create a design that is reviewed by DOT engineers pre-construction.
The method can mean time and cost savings, partly because the contractor has input into the design, bringing latest technological know-how, and because parts of the design time can overlap with parts of construction. The method has been used by other states, New York City and the federal government for years but was only officially adopted by New York State in 2012.
Work is on schedule for the other bridges, so the DOT expects the Pinelawn overpass work will also come in on time, Peters said.
A separate $4.5 million project under way to widen the north and south service roads a short distance to the west is expected to finish on time by early summer, according to the DOT. The roads are being widened by another lane from just west of Walt Whitman Road to Pinelawn Road, a distance of about a half-mile, with traffic signals updated and turning lanes also added at the intersections.
That work, being done by Hicksville-based Inter-County Paving, is part of improvements undertaken in connection with the construction of the new Canon building on the corner of Walt Whitman and the South Service Road.
