Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS
December 9, 2015
Table of Contents
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection of the lungs and respiratory system, which is the organ system that allows us to breathe. One third of the world's people are infected with TB, and along with HIV, TB is one of the world's leading causes of death due to disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over three million women became sick with TB in 2014. Of the 9.6 million new cases of tuberculosis in 2014, over one million occurred in people living with HIV (HIV+). The risk of developing TB is estimated to be 26 to 31 times greater for people living with HIV than for those who are HIV-negative. The largest numbers of TB infection occur in south-east Asia (58 percent of global total), while over one quarter of the 9.6 million occurred in Africa.
In the US, the number of new TB cases reported each year has been going down since 1993. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of TB cases reported in 2014 was the lowest that is has been since reporting began in 1953.
TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes, laughs, or spits. Tiny droplets of fluid from the lungs are carried in the air and can be breathed in by someone nearby. Although it can affect many parts of the body, TB usually occurs in the lungs.
Forms of TB
Not everyone who is infected with TB bacteria shows signs of TB infection or develops "active" disease.
TB and HIV
People with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop active TB disease. This includes people living with HIV, children, elderly people, and people who take drugs that suppress the immune system. Research shows that, among those with latent TB, people living with HIV are three to 12 times more likely to develop active TB disease than HIV-negative people. Treating latent TB can greatly reduce your chances of developing active TB. Treatment of latent TB protects your health as well as keeps you from spreading TB to others. You can develop active TB with any CD4 count. Studies also show that TB can worsen HIV disease progression.
Worldwide, TB is the leading cause of death in people living with HIV in Africa, and a leading cause of death elsewhere. The WHO estimates that one third of the 35 million people living with HIV worldwide are infected with TB. The CDC recommends that people living with HIV be screened for TB when they are first diagnosed with HIV; in addition, yearly screening is recommended for people living with HIV who have repeated exposure to others with active TB (see "Diagnosing TB," below).
Preventing TB
TB is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or spits. Family members of people with TB, people living in the same house, health-care workers, and people who live in residential facilities like homeless shelters and prisons are most likely to get TB. People with latent (not active) TB do not spread the disease. Once a person with active TB starts treatment (see "TB Treatment" below), they usually cannot spread the disease after two to three weeks on treatment.
People with active TB should be separated from others until they can no longer spread the disease. If you have TB or spend time around people with TB, it is important to wear a disposable face mask. Certain types of air filters can trap the TB bacteria, and ultraviolet light can kill it.
TB Symptoms
After TB bacteria are inhaled, they settle in the lungs. People with healthy immune systems can usually fight the bacteria and keep it from multiplying. The immune system may build structures that wall off or contain the bacteria. These structures can burst, leaving scars in the lungs. If a person's immune system is too weak and the structures burst, the bacteria can get out and enter the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream they travel to other parts of the body including the brain, kidneys, bones, and reproductive organs, where they can cause infertility. This is called "extrapulmonary TB" because is has spread outside the lungs. Extrapulmonary TB is more likely in people with advanced HIV disease.
People with active TB disease may develop symptoms including:

July 2017: IPC Private Wealth Manager Insights
Featuring short audio interviews with our IPC Private Wealth investment specialists.
No Recession in Sight
|Despite the slow-growing economy and a flattening yield curve, Tim notes that a potential North American recession is not coming. The Fed is concerned about inflation levels, he adds, and their gradual and cautious pace of interest rate increases may lead to some "bubbly" areas within the market. In this quarter's interview, Tim also reiterates the power of a sector rotation strategy and discusses the rationale behind Mount Lucas' decision to move out of Energy, thereby dodging a correction.
Mount Lucas Management is responsible for managing the North American Sector Rotation and Global Trend Strategy mandates.
With Value out of Favour, Look for Opportunity
|In our interview with Peter this quarter, he reminds investors that possible short term noise surrounding upcoming interest rate rises should not overshadow a muted long term impact on dividend paying stocks. Focusing on complete market cycles and adhering to a disciplined value style helps to preserve capital and provide a solid return over the long term. Peter highlights that value and growth will go in-and-out of favour over time and while Lincluden remains cautious, they see room for buying opportunities in this market.
Lincluden is responsible for managing the Canadian Dividend and North American Dividend mandates for IPC Private Wealth.
Shifting Winds: Value to Growth
|In recent months there has been a shift from value investing to growth investing due to an artificially low interest rate environment. Mel cautions that while we cannot predict the future, value tends to outperform in the long term. He also discusses the volume of information that investors have access to through traditional and new media and explains Sionna's approach to reducing the noise. And while it can be tempting for investors to place large, short term bets in the market, Mel advises the true and tried approach of diversification.
Sionna is responsible for managing the North American Value equities mandate.
The Mechanics of Downside Protection
|Fixed income is a key part of any balanced portfolio aiming to reduce volatility in the overall portfolio while still contributing to total return. Listen to Geoff speak about what could pose a challenge to investors in the upcoming year. In this interview, he explains the mechanics of the core plus fixed income component and how it provides downside protection during rising yields.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois' state universities and community colleges have agreed to gradually start picking up their own retirement costs under a preliminary deal that emerged at a public hearing, a step forward on a concept that's been debated by lawmakers for more than a year.
Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard was among those testifying who said that they were willing to do their part to address Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis even if it would mean difficult decisions in the future.
"We are lean. There's no question about that," Poshard said during the hearing. "But we're also deeply concerned ... that the long-term unfunded liability problem of this pension system get fixed because bottom line that's where our employees depend on the stability and security of that system."
Illinois currently pays pension costs for public universities, community colleges and most school districts. Proponents say shifting that obligation to schools will help solve Illinois' financial mess.
But it's been a controversial idea and had been a sticking point on pension talks. Opponents say the shift will raise property taxes, and universities have also said they'd have to raise tuition and cut programs.
Neither of the two pending pension overhauls have the concept included, though House Speaker Michael Madigan reiterated his promise that it would be on the table.
The leaders of several higher education institutions met with Madigan this week and agreed they would start paying half of 1 percent of retirement costs each year starting in fiscal year 2015 until they assume the full cost. Estimates on how long that would take varied. Poshard guessed about 10 years and others said it would be closer to 20 years depending on the outcome of a pension overhaul.
University and college officials said the proposed slow phase-in made it easier.
University of Illinois President Robert Easter said the university would have to be more efficient and the annual change would cost roughly $5 million or $6 million each year. Poshard said it would cost SIU roughly $3 million a year. For the City Colleges of Chicago it would mean roughly $1 million more each year.
Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, said more discussion is expected next week, along with a likely drafted bill. He and other lawmakers said they have to discuss a potential cost shift with local school districts, too.
Madigan has often said that schools get a "free lunch" because the state pays their teacher pension costs. Chicago Public Schools pays its own retirement costs.
"We will resolve the question of the ending the free lunch before we end this session for all components," Madigan told reporters. "The goal here, at the end of all of this: The employer will pay the pension costs."

Gas Prices Bucking Historic Trend, Staying High
Traditionally, the cooler months of the year bring a downward slide in gas prices.
Not so this year, however, as September closed with prices flat-lined for nearly three weeks in a row. The average gas price in Montana is still stuck at $3.76 while the national price has slid a meager 2.4 cents to reach an average price of $3.79.
According to Gas Buddy Petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan, the seasonally high prices are caused "by a culmination of factors. We have quantitative easing putting pressure on the dollar and the dollar has weakened driving oil prices higher. We also have the turmoil in the middle east continuing to reverberate causing some fear in the market place, and economic improvement continues here in the United States so there is sentiment that that could have impact on demand."
Prices at the start of the week are 12.2 cents higher than they were on the same day a year ago and .8 cents higher than they were at the start of September.
Dehaan says that he does not anticipate much change in the gas price over the next seven days.

Radiation is sometimes used to treat prostate cancer that is still confined to the prostate gland or has spread to nearby tissue. If the disease is more advanced, radiation may be used to reduce the size of the tumor or to provide pain relief when cancer has spread to the bones. At Roswell Park, a team of radiation oncologists, medical physicists and dosimetrists work together in one location to develop the optimal treatment plan for each patient.
External Beam Radiation
External beam radiation is focused from a source outside the body on the area affected by the cancer. There are many types of external beam radiation methods, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), which allows different parts of the tumor and surrounding tissue to receive different doses of radiation. This reduces radiation damage to tissues near the prostate and improves effectiveness by increasing the dose of radiation delivered to the cancer.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
With stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), prostate cancer patients at Roswell Park now have the advantage of faster, more precise radiation treatments with the introduction of RapidArc™ radiotherapy. Roswell Park is the first institution in Western New York to provide this advanced treatment method, together with the Varian Trilogy™ linear accelerator, which offers several benefits:
- It shapes the radiation beams more precisely to the tumor to deliver the most effective hit while protecting healthy tissue nearby.
- The treatment machine rotates around the patient just once, compared with traditional methods that require several rotations, stops and starts.
- Radiation delivery is accelerated, so treatment is completed up to eight times faster than with standard IMRT.
Brachytherapy is internal radiation treatment given by placing radioactive material directly into a tumor or close to it. For prostate cancer, brachytherapy may involve the permanent placement of radioactive seeds into the prostate gland or the temporary placement of a high-energy radioactive source into the prostate gland.
- Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy delivers LDR radiation to tumor areas. It involves the implantation of tiny radioactive seeds into the prostate gland also known as an interstitial implant. The specified radiation emitted by the radioactive seeds kills the tumor cells. This procedure can be combined with external-beam radiation to increase the radiation dose while sparing normal tissues from damage.
- High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy allows high doses of radiation to be delivered to tumors. It uses one very small, high-intensity radiation source that is inserted temporarily. This type of brachytherapy leaves no permanent radiation in the patient. The radioactive implants last anywhere from minutes to hours, and are given in separate sessions, approximately six hours apart.
Radiation Medicine: Where You Go for Your Treatment Matters
If radiation therapy is part of your prostate cancer treatment plan, choosing where to have your treatments is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Consider these key points before beginning any treatment:
Is the facility a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center?
National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers are recognized for their scientific excellence and quality patient care. They are a major source of discovery and development of more effective approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment and deliver these medical advances to their patients. A Comprehensive Cancer Center, such as Roswell Park, means the facility is also a leader in research, including laboratory, clinical, behavioral and population-based studies.
Will your treatment be planned and coordinated in concert with your other on-site cancer specialists — your surgeon and medical oncologist — to provide you with comprehensive, fully integrated treatment?
Many cancer patients need radiation therapy in addition to chemotherapy, biologic therapy and surgery. Some patients have radiotherapy during surgery, called intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). The type of radiotherapy you receive and the timing of it must be integrated with the other treatments in your plan. Having all these specialists on your medical team — surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists, plus immunologists, psychologists, nutritionists and social workers — working under one roof, and collaborating on a regular basis to assess and evaluate your treatment and day-to-day needs, provides the highest degree of comprehensive care.
Is your treatment planned and provided by a multidisciplinary team of radiation medicine specialists?
Roswell Park's Department of Radiation Medicine is the regional leader in innovative treatment methodologies. Our radiation team of specialists includes board-certified radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and dosimetrists. These specialists work closely with our physician assistants, registered nurses, radiation therapists and other support staff to develop a customized treatment plan specifically for you that is based on the most up-to-date, peer-reviewed research. Each physician on the radiation oncology team specializes in a particular type of cancer.
Are the faculty on-site, full-time radiation specialists with a manageable patient load?
You need and deserve to be treated by a team whose full-time job and primary focus is your care. Radiation therapy mandates accurate and careful planning, timing, dosing and marking with ultimate precision. Some treatment centers have multiple locations manned by just one physician and staffed by per diem or part-time personnel without the experience or specialty in radiation medicine.

The knote() function provides a hook into the kqueue kernel event notifi- cation mechanism to allow sections of the kernel to raise a kernel event in the form of a 'knote', which is a struct knote as defined in <sys/event.h>. knote() takes a singly linked list of knotes, along with a hint (which is passed to the appropriate filter routine). knote() then walks the list making calls to the filter routine for each knote. As each knote contains a reference to the data structure that it is attached to, the filter may choose to examine the data structure in deciding whether an event should be reported. The hint is used to pass in additional information, which may not be present in the data structure that the filter examines. If the filter decides that the event should be returned, it returns a non-zero value and knote() links the knote onto the tail end of the ac- tive list in the corresponding kqueue for the application to retrieve. If the knote is already on the active list, no action is taken, but the call to the filter occurs in order to provide an opportunity for the filter to record the activity. knote() must not be called from interrupt contexts running at an inter- rupt priority level higher than splsched(). KNOTE() is a macro that calls knote(list, hint) if list is not empty.
The knote() and KNOTE() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 4.1, and then in OpenBSD 2.9.

Shares of Eli Lilly and Co. tumbled Thursday after the drugmaker said a potential breast cancer treatment missed its main goal in a late-stage study comparing it to a fake drug.
The Indianapolis-based firm no longer plans to seek regulatory approval for the drug, ramucirumab, in patients with a form of breast cancer that has spread. However, Lilly will seek approval to use the treatment in combination with chemotherapy in stomach cancer patients after ramucirumab performed better in a separate study on those patients.
Lilly shares fell 3.3 percent, or $1.71, to $50.90 each, Thursday before markets opened, then fell another 3.4 percent in morning trading, to $50.85.
The stock's closing price of $52.61 on Wednesday had marked a gain of 6.7 percent so far this year.
In the breast cancer study, Lilly said researchers saw no statistically significant difference in progression-free survival when comparing patients taking ramucirumab and the chemotherapy drug docetaxel with those taking a placebo and docetaxel. Progression-free survival measures the time from the start of treatment until a patient's cancer begins advancing again or the patient dies.
An early analysis of overall survival also showed no benefit for patients on ramucirumab.
The drug did meet its main goal of improved overall survival when studied in patients with advanced gastric cancer who took it along with another chemotherapy drug, paclitaxel. It also met a secondary goal of improved progression-free survival.
Lilly will seek approval from regulators for that use. It also is studying ramucirumab in colorectal and lung cancers and expects more late-stage research results next year.
Investors had relatively low expectations for the drug in treating breast cancer, Bernstein analyst Dr. Tim Anderson said in a research note. But he also has said that the commercial opportunity in breast cancer that has metastasized, or spread, is significant.
Anderson expects the drug to generate about $600 million in annual revenue by 2020 from its use in treating gastric cancer.
Investors are eager to see Lilly produce new sources of revenue because it is going through a wave of patent expirations that expose key drugs to cheaper generic competition. Lilly lost patent protection for its all-time best selling drug, the antipsychotic Zyprexa, in late 2011 and will lose protection at the end of this year for its current top-seller, the antidepressant Cymbalta.

pigtype Yersinia Ab
For detection of antibodies to pathogenic Yersinia spp. in samples from pigs
Effective April 1, 2018, product available exclusively from INDICAL BIOSCIENCE (formerly QIAGEN Leipzig). Learn more.
pigtype Yersinia Ab is a sensitive and specific ELISA for detecting antibodies to Yersinia spp. in serum, plasma, and meat juice samples from pigs.
pigtype Yersinia Ab is for veterinary use only.
In Germany: Registered in accordance with §17c of the German Law on Animal Diseases. Registration No.: FLI-B 441
pigtype Yersinia Ab is specific for the detection of antibodies to Yersinia spp. A negative population of 94 serum samples was tested. All of the samples tested negative for the Yersinia-specific antibodies, providing a diagnostic specificity for this sample set of 100% (see the figure "Specificity of pigtype Yersinia Ab"). Serum samples of 9 experimentally infected pigs were tested using both the short and the overnight sample incubation protocol. All of the samples tested positive 17 days-post-infection, providing a high diagnostic sensitivity (see the figure Sensitivity of pigtype Yersinia Ab).
pigtype Yersinia Ab is an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) with ready-to-use colored reagents. The test plate is coated with inactivated antigen. During the sample incubation, Yersinia-specific antibodies bind to the immobilized antigen. The anti-IgG-HRP conjugate detects antibodies bound to the antigen. The color reaction is started by adding the substrate solution and stopped after 10 minutes. The optical density (OD) is measured in a spectrophotometer. The OD values correlate with the concentration of anti-Yersinia antibodies in the sample.
Serum, plasma, and meat juice samples can be tested after dilution.
Samples are incubated for 1 hour with the test plate and if antibodies to Y. enterocolitica are present, they will bind to the antigen on the plates. Unbound material is removed by rinsing.
The monoclonal anti-IgG-HRP conjugate is added. Unbound conjugate is rinsed out.
The color reaction is started by adding the TMB Substrate Solution and stopped after 10 minutes. The optical density (OD) is measured using a spectrophotometer. The ratio sample OD to Positive Control OD is calculated from the OD values obtained with the test sample and the Negative Control, which contains no Yersinia-specific antibodies. The values are easy to interpret.
pigtype Yersinia Ab is for the detection of antibodies to Yersinia spp. in serum, plasma, and meat juice samples from pigs.

In mid-January 2012, Roger Ailes skipped out on his duties at Fox News to attend a basketball game. The contest featured his 12-year-old son, Zac, who plays for his Upper East Side Catholic boys' school. Ailes, in a folding chair along the sideline, was dressed in his work clothes: black suit, starched white shirt, gold tie clip, and matching cuff links. His hair was slicked back and a pair of bifocals perched on his nose. The overall effect was that of a formal, somewhat forbidding small-town banker in a Frank Capra movie.
Ailes is past 70 and looks it, especially when he tries to walk on his bum leg. The other parents were young enough to be his children. But Zac is his only child, and perhaps the only person who could lure Ailes away from his office on a Wednesday afternoon. This was the third game of the season, and he had been there every time.
As we waited for the tip-off, Ailes ran down the roster. "Our guys," he called them. Zac was easily the tallest kid on the team, and when the action commenced, his father encouraged him to take advantage of it. "Don't get boxed out," he shouted. "Use your height. Hands up on defense!" Zac hit the first shot of the game, and Ailes clapped loudly and shouted his approval. But Zac's team, wearing red, was no match for the other school's. As they fell behind, Ailes grew tense, barking instructions at his son and the rest of the team, but the advice wasn't helping. During a time-out he extracted his BlackBerry for a quick peek at the standings. "Let's see if Fox News is still on the air," he said.
Back on the court, Zac caught a stray elbow to the eye. "Shake it off," Ailes yelled. "Rub it out! Back on defense! Get all over them! Come on, fellas, show some heart!" But sometimes heart isn't enough. At the final buzzer the score was 29–10. The boys headed for the locker room, but Ailes motioned for Zac, who loped over. "You made a couple of mistakes out there," he told the boy. "You threw that one ball away. And you missed an open shot underneath." Zac nodded. "But," Ailes said more gently, "you did a lot of things right. You played hard. You hustled. You scored 20 percent of your team's points. And when you got hit you didn't whine."
Ailes put his arm on Zac's shoulder. "I'm proud of you, son," he said. "Now, let's get you home. You have schoolwork to do." A black Lincoln was idling at the curb, waiting to drop Zac at home and take Roger Ailes back to the world where he can control the score.
For months, Roger Ailes and I had been meeting regularly at Fox News headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, at his home in Putnam County, and at public and private gatherings. In that time I got a closer look at Roger Ailes than any journalist who doesn't work for him ever has. He is plainspoken, wryly profane, caustic, and above all competitive, whether he is relating how he told NBC not to name its cable channel MSNBC ("M.S. is a damn disease") or, in an appearance before a student audience, trying to recall the name of a CNN anchor "named after a prison." (Soledad O'Brien.) Ailes, in his years as a political consultant, created images for a living, and his own narrative is constructed from the sturdy materials of American mythology. In our first meeting, he said he had dug ditches as a kid and would be happy to go back to it if the whole media-empire thing ever fell apart. Ailes is no more likely than I am to dig ditches (and a lot less likely to need to), but I got his point. He is a blue-collar guy from a factory town in Ohio who has stayed close to his roots. After I had known him for a while I asked what he would do if he were president of the United States. He said that he would sign no legislation, create no new regulations, and allow the country to return to its natural, best self, which he locates, with modest social amendments, somewhere in midwestern America circa 1955.
Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are very respectful of each other. Ailes credits Murdoch with realizing that there was a niche audience ("half the country," as Charles Krauthammer, a Fox contributor, drily put it) for a cable news network with a conservative perspective. Murdoch, for his part, assured me that he doesn't dictate editorial decisions. "I defer to Roger," he said. "I have ideas that Roger can accept or not. As long as things are going well … "
One moment of tension occurred in 2010, when Matthew Freud, the husband of Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth and a powerful British public-relations executive, told The New York Times that "I am by no means alone within the family or the company in being ashamed and sickened by Roger Ailes's horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corporation, its founder, and every other global media business aspires to." A spokesman for Murdoch replied that his son-in-law had been speaking for himself, and that Murdoch was "proud of Roger Ailes and Fox News." Ailes mocked Freud in an interview in the Los Angeles Times, saying he couldn't pick the British flack out of a lineup and suggesting that he (a descendant of Sigmund Freud's) "needed to see a psychiatrist."
Murdoch often drops by Ailes's office to joke and gossip about politics. "Roger and I have a close personal friendship," he told me. Ailes agrees—up to a point.
"Does Rupert like me? I think so, but it doesn't matter. When I go up to the magic room in the sky every three months, if my numbers are right, I get to live. If not, I'm killed. Our relationship isn't about love—it's about arithmetic. Survival means hitting your numbers. I've met or exceeded mine in 56 straight quarters. The reason is: I treat Rupert's money like it is mine."
One day during the 2012 primary season, Newt Gingrich complained that Fox News's support for Mitt Romney was responsible for Gingrich's poor showing. Rick Santorum had made a similar claim when he dropped out of the race. Gingrich and Santorum had been Fox commentators before getting into the race, and Ailes found their complaints self-serving and disloyal. Brian Lewis, his spokesman, asked Ailes for guidance on how to respond to Newt. "Brush him back," Ailes said. "He's a sore loser and if he had won he would have been a sore winner." Lewis nodded.
Ailes was silent for a moment and then added, "Newt's a prick."
Lewis then read Ailes a summary of the flap over Democratic operative Hilary Rosen's comment that Ann Romney, mother of five, had never worked a day in her life. Ailes spun it without hesitation. "Obama's the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn't public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. He's lazy, but the media won't report that." He noticed my arched eyebrows and added, "I didn't come up with that. Obama said that, to Barbara Walters." (What Obama said was that he feels a laziness in himself that he attributes to his laid-back upbringing in Hawaii.)
"I like Marco Rubio," Ailes told a staff meeting of Fox News Latino when talk about the Florida senator being Mitt Romney's vice-presidential pick was at fever pitch. "But I don't know about as a vice-presidential candidate. He's a nice guy, and that role requires kicking the crap out of your opponents." He paused, thinking about vice presidents he had known. "I have a soft spot for Joe Biden," he said. "I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray."
During the presidential campaign of 2008, candidate Barack Obama was upset by Fox News, which by then was in its sixth year of cable dominance. A sit-down was arranged with Murdoch and Ailes, who recalls that the meeting took place in a private room at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan. (White House spokesman Jay Carney declined to relate the president's version.) Obama arrived with his aide Robert Gibbs, who seated Ailes directly across from Obama, close enough for Ailes to feel the intention was to intimidate him. He didn't mind; in fact, he rather appreciated the stagecraft, one political professional to another.
After some pleasantries, Obama got to the point. He was concerned about the way he was being portrayed on Fox, and his real issue wasn't the news; it was Sean Hannity, who had been battering him every night at nine (and on his radio show, which Fox doesn't own or control). Ailes didn't deny that Hannity was anti-Obama. He simply told the candidate not to worry about it. "Nobody who watches Sean's going to vote for you anyway," he said.
Obama then asked Ailes what his personal concerns might be. It is a politician's question that means: What can I do for you?
Ailes said he was mainly concerned about Obama's strength on national-security issues. The candidate assured Ailes that he had nothing to worry about.
"Well, why are you going around talking about making cuts in weapons systems?" asked Ailes. "If you're going to cut, why not at least negotiate them and get something in return?"
Obama said that Ailes had been misinformed; he was not advocating unilateral cuts.
"He said this looking me right in the eyes," says Ailes. "He never dropped his gaze, which is the usual tell. It was as good a lie as anyone ever told me. I said, 'Senator, I just watched someone say exactly that on my computer screen before coming over here. Maybe it wasn't you, but it sure looked like you and sounded like you. I think it was you.' "
At that point, Gibbs stood and announced that the session was over. "I don't think he liked the meeting very much," says Ailes.
In 2007, Ailes started a business channel to compete with CNBC, and though he says it breaks even, Fox Business News still requires his close attention. Five years later, Ailes had his sights set on a recently vacated space on the ground floor of the News Corp. building, at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 47th Street. Other divisions of News Corp. were interested in laying hands on the spot, but Ailes intended to get it and use it as a showcase for FBN. On a sunny afternoon in early April, dressed in his customary black suit and accompanied by the network's chief engineer and a small retinue of aides, he set off on an exploratory foray.
No detail was too small for him during his tour of the studios. Ailes walked over to the huge windows facing Sixth Avenue.
"What's the stop on this glass?"
"Three fifty-seven caliber," said the engineer.
"At what range?"
"Close up," the engineer said.
Ailes nodded. You put a television show on street level, you had better be prepared for armed critics.
Ailes always has one eye on the screen. One day I walked into his private office and found him on the phone deep in conversation with the head of the Fox Television Stations group. "I'm watching Channel 5 right now and there's something off with the shot," he said.
On the screen was a morning interview show with two hosts, a man and a woman, and a guest. The conversation didn't matter to Ailes; it was the picture. "You don't see our guy's smile," he said into the phone. "All you see is him from the side. His ear. Nobody wants to see an ear shot." There was a pause and then Ailes said, "There's a problem with the damn framing. And when the guy leans forward, he blocks the guest. Everybody's sitting on a three-quarter shot. People at home don't get a sense that anyone is talking to them. Get it fixed." He hung up and looked at me. "Television is painting the Mona Lisa and you have to do it every three seconds. Right now the head of the station group is calling the station director, who is about to call the executive producer of the show, who will"—he checked his watch—"be calling the line producer right about now and telling him, 'Ailes says it looks like shit. Change the fucking screen.' What the hell, I can't help it. I'm still a director."
CNN had recently introduced a new graphic design with moving walls, which Ailes thought was foolish. "You've got Wolf Blitzer standing out there facing the camera, and suddenly the set moves and you're looking at his rear end. Wolf's a good journalist, but I doubt if the audience really wants to see some size 42-short guy with his back to the camera. That's a production mistake whether the walls move or not."
"Let CNN buy the new stuff and test it out, and when the technology is right I'll come in like a ton of bricks," he says. "You spend a million dollars on some innovation and it turns out that nobody in the department knows how to use the damn thing. So they need something else to make it work. It never stops. When I see that the Framistan is working, we'll get one. Hell, we'll get two. But in the meantime, let CNN waste their money." Framistan, it turns out, is a word Ailes loves. It became popular after it was used on an episode of I Love Lucy—it stands for unnecessary gear. "Framistans always need an additional Framistan. And this network isn't going to run in the red."
Ailes revels in his image as a tough-guy. He is fond of recalling rougher times, like the night he punched a hole in the wall of an NBC control room where he was producing The Tomorrow Show. "It was just a drywall, and luckily I didn't hit any beams. But somebody put a frame around the hole and wrote, don't mess with roger ailes. If you have a reputation as a badass, you don't need to fight."
Ailes admits that he sometimes flies off the handle. This can happen pretty much anywhere. Not long ago, on a ball field near his place in Garrison, NY, his nephew accidentally hit a baseball through the window of a 2012 Prius parked in a church lot. The owners were Koreans who didn't speak much English, and they were extremely agitated. "It's just a damn window," Ailes told them. "I'll pay for the damn thing."
The owner was indignant. "We pray, you curse," he said.
"Fine," said Ailes. "Then let's pray over the fucking window. Maybe that'll fix it."
"It was a 10-minute incident that I turned into an hour," Ailes said when he told me the story. "Hell, it's lucky they didn't recognize me. It could have turned into a goddamn international scandal. But I told them I was sorry " He laughed. "Damn it, though, I was kind of glad that it was a Prius."
As he told the story, Ailes was already spinning it. "I do have a hair trigger, but I only use it on things that don't matter these days," he said. "I just do it to blow off steam, create some bullshit."
Ailes has a very acute sense of his own mortality. "I'd give anything for another 10 years," he often says, and, typically, he has crunched the numbers.
"My doctor told me that I'm old, fat, and ugly, but none of those things is going to kill me immediately," he told me shortly before his 72nd birthday. "The actuaries say I have six to eight years. The best tables give me 10. Three thousand days, more or less."
I asked if he is afraid to die. "Because of my hemophilia, I've been prepared to face death all of my life. As a boy I spent a lot of time in hospitals. My parents had to leave at the end of visiting hours, and I spent a lot of time just lying there in the dark, thinking about the fact that any accident could be dangerous or even fatal. So I'm ready. Everybody fears the unknown. But I have a strong feeling there's something bigger than us. I don't think all this exists because some rocks happened to collide. I'm at peace. When it comes, I'll be fine, calm. I'll miss life, though. Especially my family."
One day in his office, Ailes showed me a photo of Zac in a school play. The boy was made up as Teddy Roosevelt, in a suit and a fake mustache. Ailes studied the picture wistfully. The most painful fact of Ailes's life is that he isn't likely to see his son as a grown man. "I never really knew much about my father's life, what it was really like," he says. "I'm not going to be here forever and I want Zac to know me."
Since Zac was four, Ailes has been putting things away for him in memory boxes; there are now nine, stuffed with mementos, personal notes, photos, and messages from Ailes to his son. They are meant to be opened when Ailes is gone. I was curious to see what Ailes was leaving behind. He was reluctant to show me, but he finally brought one of the boxes to his office. I had been expecting an ornate trunk, but it turned out to be nothing more than a large plastic container stuffed with what appeared to be a random assortment of memorabilia. There was a pocket-size copy of the U.S. Constitution in which Ailes had written, "The founders believed it and so should you"; photos of Zac and Ailes's wife Beth on family vacations; an itinerary of their trip to the White House Christmas party; and a sentimental 14th-anniversary card from Beth ("It's important for him to know that his mommy loved his daddy," Ailes said), on which he had scrawled a note to Zac: "Your mother is a beautiful woman. Always take care of her." I saw a printed program from a Fourth of July celebration in Garrison in which father and son had read patriotic texts aloud, a few articles and press releases about Ailes's career, and a couple of biographies of Ronald Reagan. Tossed in with the other stuff was a plain brown envelope that contained $2,000 in cash and a note: "Here's the allowance I owe you," which Ailes said was an inside joke sure to make his son smile. There were also a few symbolic gold coins, "just in case everything goes to hell," he told me. "If you have a little gold and a handgun, you can always get across the Canadian border." Zac is still too young for a pistol, but he sometimes accompanies his father to the shooting range at West Point for target practice.
At the bottom of the box there was a copy of Sun Tzu's The Art of War with paternal advice inscribed on the first page:
Avoid war if at all possible but never give up your freedom—or your honor. Always stand for what is right. If absolutely forced to fight, then fight with courage and win. Don't try to win … win! Love, Dad
"This is advice Zac might need to hear from me in 10 years and I won't be here to give it to him," Ailes said as he closed the box. "I've told him, if he has a problem or he feels he needs me, to go off to a quiet place and listen, and he will hear my voice."
I asked Roger Ailes what he imagined heaven would be like. "I'm pretty sure that God's got a sense of humor," he said. "I think he gets a laugh out of me from time to time, so I suppose things will be all right."
"What if you get there and it turns out that God is a liberal?" I asked.
Ailes paused. It was something that evidently hadn't occurred to him. "Well, hell, if God's a liberal, that's his business," he said. He paused again, imagining it. "But I doubt very much that he is. He's got a good heart." Ailes sat back, pleased with his moment of theological speculation. The hell with his critics here on earth. He has every expectation that, when the time comes he will find himself standing at the seat of judgment before a fair and balanced God.

U.S. stocks edged up on Monday and global equities prepared to wrap up a strong year as U.S. lawmakers held last-minute talks to avoid a budget crisis that many fear could cripple the world economy in 2013.
Traders still at their desks on the last day of the year were focused on talks in Washington, where politicians were trying to agree on a deal that would prevent $600 billion of tax increases and spending cuts from taking effect in January.
Continue Reading Below
Economists fear such a blast of fiscal austerity could shrink output in the world's biggest economy by about 4 percent, which would threaten a fragile global recovery.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said lawmakers would renew talks at 11 a.m. Washington time (1600 GMT) but said there were still significant differences between Democrats and Republicans over tax policy and spending priorities.
Investors, however, have for months expected a deal would come down to the wire and markets were taking it in stride.
After a subdued day in Asia, where Japan's Nikkei as well as a number of other indexes had already shut for the year, limited year-end European trading left the MSCI all-world index on track to end the year up nearly 13 percent.
"It is still expected that a deal be reached in early January. That will probably be greeted positively by markets, but it looks like it will be a very short-term fix rather than one that addresses the longer-term issues," said Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi currency analyst Lee Hardman.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 7.45 points, or 0.06 percent, at 12,945.56. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 4.53 points, or 0.32 percent, at 1,406.96. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 17.63 points, or 0.60 percent, at 2,977.95.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 has also gained roughly 13 percent this year, largely due to the European Central Bank's vow to tackle the region's debt crisis, and recovered from an early morning dip to end the year at 1,131.64.
With the world's major central banks expected to keep pumping stimulus into their economies at any sign of weakness, most economists forecast further gains in equities next year.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 10/32, with the yield at 1.74 percent, with some traders citing a possible deal on the fiscal cliff as weighing on bonds.
That's not to say uncertainty will evaporate in 2013. For one thing, any deal to avert the U.S. fiscal cliff is expected to be a temporary fix that doesn't address a long-term plan to reduce the U.S. budget deficit, which has been above $1 trillion for four straight years.
Europe's debt crisis, meanwhile, has eased thanks to aggressive ECB efforts to protect the euro. Yields on Spanish and Italian sovereign bonds, a measure of the risk creditors attach to lending those governments money, spiked in the summer but have since fallen sharply.
Euro zone bond markets were closed for the day on Monday after a roller coaster year.
The euro was unchanged on Monday at $1.3210 but is up 2 percent for the year. An agreement on the U.S. budget would also be viewed as positive for the euro because it would help boost global growth, while deadlock is seen as dollar-positive.
"However the medium-term impact" of no U.S. budget deal is dollar negative, said Camilla Sutton, chief FX strategist at Scotia Capital in Toronto.
"The combination of aggressive Fed policy, the lack of a credible fiscal plan, a challenged political system and the impact of the fiscal drag should weigh on the dollar," she said.
Against the yen, the dollar rose as high as 86.64, its best showing since August 2010, and was set to end the year 12 percent firmer against Japan's currency, its biggest gain since 2005.
With a new Japanese government led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expected to pursue a policy mix of aggressive monetary easing and heavy fiscal spending to beat deflation, analysts see the yen staying under pressure in 2013.
Commodities have been finding some recent support as economic data in key emerging economies such as China have started pointing to a gradual pick-up in the pace of growth in 2013.
Gold was $1,662.70 an ounce, up more than 6 percent for the year and on track for a 12th consecutive year of gains. Rock-bottom interest rates, concerns over the financial stability of the euro zone, and diversification into bullion by central banks have boosted the metal. Copper also rose, shoring up this year's 5 percent gain.
Oil prices bucked the trend, however, slipping for a third consecutive session, with failure to reach a solution in U.S. budget talks seen likely to cause a serious slowdown in the global economy and a large drop in fuel consumption.
Brent crude was down 25 cents at $110.37 a barrel. It is up 2.8 percent and averaged more than $111.65 this year, its fourth successive year of annual rises and above the previous 2011 record of $110.91.
"Significant market moves are likely when the (U.S.) deal gets done - or if no deal is done before the year-end ... In any case, neither outcome is fully priced in," Jason Schenker, president of U.S. consultancy Prestige Economics.

A former General Motors Co engineer was sentenced to a year and a day in prison and her husband was sentenced to three years for conspiring to steal trade secrets for use in China, federal prosecutors said.
Former engineer Shanshan Du, 54, and her husband Yu Qin, 52, each received sentences well below the roughly eight to 10 years that the government had sought. Both were sentenced on Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Marianne Battani in Detroit.
Continue Reading Below
Both defendants are U.S. citizens, and their case is part of a crackdown by the U.S. Department of Justice on trade secret theft, whether involving China or other countries.
Last November, a federal jury convicted Du and Qin on two counts each of unauthorized possession of trade secrets and one count of conspiracy to possess the secrets without permission.
Qin was also convicted on three counts of wire fraud and one count of obstruction of justice.
The defendants had been accused of taking confidential GM information from the Detroit-based automaker related to hybrid vehicles, and trying to pass it to competitors, including China's Chery Automobile Co, through their firm Millennium Technology International.
Investigators accused Du of copying more than 16,000 GM files soon after the automaker in January 2005 gave her a severance offer. They said Qin later claimed, while pitching his services, to have invented some of the stolen GM technology.
"These defendants stole trade secrets, which General Motors spent many years and millions of dollars to develop, to give an unfair advantage to a foreign competitor," U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade in Detroit said in a statement. "Stealing trade secrets harms Michigan businesses and costs jobs."
Prosecutors said GM has estimated that the value of the stolen documents exceeded $40 million. The defendants had argued that the documents in question were not trade secrets.
"I'm pleased that the judge went below the sentencing guidelines, and took into consideration Mr. Qin's contributions to the engineering field, his respect in that field, and his remorse," Qin's lawyer Frank Eaman said in an interview. He nonetheless said he was planning to appeal the conviction.
A lawyer for Du did not immediately respond to a request for a comment. McQuade's office was not immediately available for comment.
The case is U.S. v. Qin et al, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 10-cr-02454.

Mom Gets 99 Years in Prison for Gluing Tot's Hands
DALLAS (AP) - A Dallas woman has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for beating her toddler and gluing the child's hands to a wall.
Elizabeth Escalona faced from probation to life in prison. Prosecutors sought 45 years behind bars. A state district judge decided her sentence Friday.
Police say Escalona attacked 2-year-old Jocelyn Cedillo because of potty training problems. The 23-year-old pleaded guilty in July to felony injury to a child.
Police records show Escalona's other children told authorities she kicked Jocelyn in the stomach and hit her with a jug in September 2011. They said Escalona glued Jocelyn's hands to the wall with a type of strong adhesive known as Super Glue.
Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, multiple bruises and was in a coma for a couple of days.

There is a line of Whites that are well known in Roanoke County and the patriarch was Samuel White. He either built, or owned, a mansion and several houses called Fort Lewis. He was clearly a very wealthy man. In his will he gave the mansion house to his youngest son, Alexander. His second son, Edmund Penn White, was named executor and was given a tract of land known as the "Ned Taylor Tract" in Bedford County, Virginia, just north of New London.
Edmund P. White married Sarah (Sallie) McClanahan October 14, 1820 in Botetourt County, Virginia. They are listed on the 1850 census in Roanoke County with five children: Gay, Marcellus, Ann, Lee and Mary.
|Page 2 of the 1850 Census listing for Edmund P. White, showing his son, Marcellus.
Fast forward to Ray County, Missouri. I have traced my White line from my grandmother to Hugh C. White, born March 16, 1876. According to his death certificate his parents were Marcellus F. White and Mary J. (Tosh) White, both born in Virginia. I am able to trace Marcellus and Mary back to 1870 in Ray County, Missouri. Other than his headstone and several censuses, I do not have many conclusive sources for Marcellus. A biography in a Ray County, Missouri history states that he fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. There is only one Marcellus F. White that fought for the confederates in Virginia. He was a Quartermaster sergeant and was captured by the Union army following Gettysburg and spent time in the Union prison at Fort Delaware. He enlisted in 1861 at Salem, Roanoke County, Virginia.
I have found several trees that link the Marcellus I know in Missouri to Edmund Penn White. The 1850 census I mention above does list a Marcellus, age 18, which would be the appropriate age for "my" Marcellus...as I have come to call him. But I have no conclusive link between the two. There is no death record on file for Marcellus. I cannot find an obituary for him in any of the Ray County, Missouri newspapers. There are also no probate records for him. I also have no information about Edmund Penn White's death. Roanoke County, Virginia has no record of any probate documents for him. I do know that Mary J. Tosh, "my" Marcellus' wife, was born in Roanoke County, Virginia through various documents. But I was unable to locate a marriage for Marcellus and Mary in Roanoke County. Their first child, Thomas, was born in Virginia in 1860, but there is no marriage record for his parents around that time.
I have contacted so many sources in Virginia I could not even begin to list them here. I even had a chance to visit the great Virginia Room at the Roanoke City Library, but I came up with very little. Now I must wait for all of my emails to bear fruit. Oh, where can "my" Marcellus be?

Adrian Rollini was a child prodigy on piano; at age four he played a recital at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (34th sreet and 5th Avenue) in New York. He led his own band at age 14 and began playing with the California Ramblers in the early 1920s. The California Ramblers were one of the most recorded bands of the 1920s. The band also featured Red Nichols, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey. The California Ramblers played popular tunes of the day with a Jazz influence. While in that band Rollini developed his distinctive style of bass saxophone playing. He played in Red Nichols' Five Pennies and appeared on many of Red's recording sessions. He also worked with Frankie Trumbauer and his Orchestra and recorded with Cliff Edwards and Bix Beiderbecke and his Gang. In 1934 he put together some recording sessions that featured Jack Teagarden, Bunny Berigan and Benny Goodman.

LivingSocial, the main rival in the daily-deals business to Groupon Inc. , is reportedly laying off about 400 employees — totaling 10% of its workforce — in a cost-cutting move.
The action was reported Thursday by the AllThingsD technology blog which — like MarketWatch — is owned by News Corp. The report noted that less than half the layoffs are coming from the firm\'s Washingon D.C.-based headquarters, with the rest taking place in international offices.
LivingSocial is privately held, but Amazon.com has a large stake in the outfit. Through that stake, some details emerged last month painting a slowing business for the firm. Amazon\'s quarterly filing in late October showed third-quarter revenue for LivingSocial of $124 million — down 10% from revenues for the June period though up 120% from the same quarter last year.
At the time, that disclosure caused worry for Groupon\'s investors, though the daily deals firm ended up posting a relatively flat top line on a sequential basis. However, Groupon was also hit hard by a weak business in Europe, and the tenure of CEO Andrew Mason is reportedly the subject of a meeting by the company\'s board of directors Thursday.
Groupon shares were last trading down a fraction while Amazon.com was up 1.4% to $250.62.
