The Forehand can seem like a very complicated stroke to master as there are several steps that need to happen in a particular order with great fluidity and smoothness. To start without feeling overwhelmed here are the steps that need to be understood and perfected:
• The side on position
• The take back
• The drop of the racquet

The telecom services and equipment industry's political story unfolds like a Shakespearian tragedy.
From almost nowhere, the industry experienced a dramatic rise in prominence during the "tech bubble" of the late 1990s, and campaign contributions rose accordingly. During the 1990 election cycle, the industry as a whole contributed less than $1.3 million. Ten years later, at the height of the tech bubble in 2000, that total had spiked to nearly $22.6 million. The telecom services and equipment industry then ranked No. 25 in terms of campaign contributions among the more than 120 industries the Center for Responsive Politics tracks. During the 2014 cycle, the industry contributed almost $14.2 million to candidates at the federal level, with 51 percent going to Democrats.
In 2014, the telecom services and equipment industry spent over $99.3 million lobbying, down slightly from an all-time high of over $108 million the previous year. The industry consistently ranks in the top 20 for total lobbying expenditures. The top three industry lobbyists in 2014 were the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (nearly $17.5 million), Comcast Corp (around $16.9 million) and the Cellular Telecom and Internet Association ($9.54 million).
Over the last two decades the industry has contributed fairly evenly to the two parties, with Democrats having a slight average edge of 51 percent since the 1990 election cycle. This balance shifted toward Republicans in 2004 and 2006, with the GOP receiving about 55 percent of contributions. However, the share of contributions going to Democrats spiked after the party retook Congress -- with the majority share of donations remaining in Democratic hands for every election cycle except 2012. Top industry contributors to candidates, parties and outside groups in 2014 were Comcast Corp (nearly $3.7 million), the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (almost $1.9 million) and Cox Enterprises (close to $1.3 million).
The telecom industry is interested in cellular phone and Internet regulation, increased Internet accessibility, halting attempts to impose Internet taxes and maintaining access to the spectrum of available frequencies that is controlled by the Federal Communications Commission. Other issues include promoting federal research and development spending, intellectual property law and telecom laws related to fraud, spyware and e-mail spam.
The issue of "net neutrality" has also garnered major lobbying attention. "Net neutrality" is the principle that service providers should provide equal availability of all content without playing favorites or letting some content stream faster than other content. The industry claims this will stifle innovation and competition, and for the most part, vigorously opposes it. In February 2015, the FCC voted in favor of net neutrality measures by reclassifying "fixed and mobile broadband" as telecommunications services, and the providers of those services as common carriers -- essentially making them public utilities.

Thoughts on Inauguration Day 2009
It is also a pleasure to say the new President is a distant cousin through our mutual Demarest lines. Don't ask, its complicated..just say the Demarests made sport of intermarrying and it appears he and I are related more than once. This same family made me a ninth cousin to my own dad by all the intermarrying.
I've begun preparing for the Gathering of Dutch Cousins reunion this coming September. If I don't start now, nothing will be ready when the time comes. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. I am hoping to get a better representation of Montfort and Banta ancestors each time we get together.
At the moment I am working with two Montfort cousins..one is working on papers for Sons of the American Revolution and have sent proof he can use on the early generations. I think he has about got it all gathered up and is in touch with a mentor from SAR who will guide him through the membership steps. The other is finding out WHICH Montfort line he descends from and by process of elimination of all the Henry Monforts in Ohio...we think we may have found his line and now to find proof we are correct. I feel he is from the Henry, son of Jacobus and Leah Banta Montfort...Leah being the sister of Charity Banta Montfort [Francis Sr] and daughters of Hendrick Banta 3rd and his first wife, Rachel Brower. Jacobus is an uncle to Francis Montfort Sr....why not...they liked to keep it all in the family...just to confuse us.
My husband, Tom, and I celebrate our 47th anniversary tomorrow and have added to our family lineage with two daughters and five grandchildren. Maybe one of them will keep up the family history, I sure hope so.

This is a very informative website.
Barbara wrote "It is also a pleasure to say the new President is a distant cousin through our mutual Demarest lines." Impressive. I can't claim an Obama connection (that I know of) but can claim a distant tie to both Pres Madison (Pendleton) and Jackson, who descends from a Scots border clan, as do I (Winston). And I suppose all of us with Huguenot lines can talk up TR & FDR a bit.

This morning, I came down with a case of Kaupuni-itis.
As I learned from an event to dedicate a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands project in Oahu's Wai'anae Valley, the main symptom is an unexpected twinge of hope for human habitation of Earth. The emotion was in full bloom among many impassioned speakers in the sun-washed ceremony. Tears flowed, smiles beamed, hugs spread, prayers rose. I had the sense that I had stumbled into an auspicious vortex of historical consequence.
Kaupuni Village is the name of one of the smallest housing projects of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, the agency charged with shepherding Hawaiian land for the benefit of people of indigenous ancestry. It's just 19 homes and a community center in a flat patch of the valley's floor.
Nevertheless, the project and the ceremonial consummation of 19 families' home ownership in Kaupuni (COW-poo-nee) comprise a big moment for Hawaii -- maybe even the nation.
Credited as the country's first LEED Platinum single-family subdivision, Kaupuni fulfills a vision of returning Hawaiians to net-zero energy consumption without electricity costs; methods of harnessing power and shading from the sun, including SolarWorld panel arrays; economic sustainability, with virtually free land leases and cut-rate home prices; and plans for sustainable fish and produce farming. In short, the project represents the first robustly sustainable Hawaiian Home Lands project.
In the ceremony, speakers gave voice to a crazy-quilt of historical cross-currents. One recounted Hawaiian creation myths to suggest that the connection between humans and nature should be like that of nurturing siblings. Another invoked traditional Christian appeals for divine blessings. Several speakers implicitly referred to dislocations of indigenous Hawaiians since first contacts with westerners but also explicitly highlighted latter-day attempts at redemption, reconciliation and repatriation.
Sitll others outlined hardships of homelessness from which Kaupuni had delivered some homesteaders – and noted how well the project's offer of renewal suited the week of both Easter and Earth Day.
In effect, the project is about using new methods to achieve old ends of uniting Hawaiians with island lands and self-sufficiencies. "The 21st century cutting edge is going to meet the 10th century cutting edge," said Dalani Tanahy, owner of KapaHawaii, which promotes native Hawaiian arts and know-how.
Many speakers credited the foresight of Prince Kuhio, the first member of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, as well as the first three state governors to chair that panel. In a rousing speech, current Gov. Neil Abercrombie declared Kaupuni to be at "the end of this new beginning for Hawaiian home lands and homesteaders."
These deep chords overcame the only homesteader to speak: Kanani Velasco (pictured at left with her family). She, her husband, Kiaaina, who works in the Pearl Harbor shipyard, and their two sunny little boys move into their 1,900-square-foot home next week. They will still carry a $260,000 cost burden for the home, but they estimate that's half what it otherwise would cost – a difference that separates owning and renting a home.
Speaking haltingly through tears, Kanani said her family's discovery of their place in Kaupuni came as an overwhelming sense of "feeling that we were in the right place at the right time for the right reasons."
Maybe Kanani and her family are just enjoying an acute case of Kapuni-itis.

text: Karin Waskiewicz's paintings directly address the physical properties of painting utilizing both conventional and unconventional methods. Waskiewicz's process beings with acrylic paint applied in thick layers creating a collection of colors to later be unveiled. After the layers are applied, one mark is made. Every mark is a reaction to the shape, placement, and color of the previous marks made. The painting emerges from dry paint as she carves away, excavating the thick surface, intuitively revealing and investigating the depth of the paint, creating a world in paint alone. These paintings reflect formations found in the natural world and the shapes created are both organic and formulated. The repetition of marks connects visually and gives the paintings a vibrational quality and mimic movement. See Karins work in a group show opening April 26th in NYC at Schroeder Romero & Shredder.

Perrin PSP-ENG-430-2RD 08-12 Subaru STI Red Tubes/Couplers
Boost Tubes - PERRIN boost tubes are CNC mandrel bent from aluminum tubing for better weight reduction. Every boost tube has an over sized beaded end to ensure the hose clamps and couplers stay connected and sealed! We choose to take the smoothest shortest path to get air to and from the intercooler.
Right off the turbo a smooth offset coupler carries the hot side air charge to a perfectly matched 2.25" boost tube. We chose 2.25" tubing for a smoother, cleaner, obstruction free routing while still being large enough to flow more WHP than most turbos can put out. The air charge then is routed through the engine bay next to the battery, and down behind the radiator to the intercooler. The cold side boost tubes are mounted as high as possible in the engine compartment to clear all turbo and intake combinations as it travels to the throttle body through the engine bay.
T-Bolt Clamps - PERRIN Performance T-bolt clamps are standard on PERRIN intercoolers. They are designed for uniform clamping at all points around the band. The wider band distributes the force over a larger area and the fine threaded bolts with nylon lock nuts allow for accurate torque and proper clamping. Never worry about having to re-tighten down the road, plus each PERRIN logo-ed clamp is made in the USA and has the torque spec engraved on each one. Advantage PERRIN!
Coolant Reservoir - The PERRIN front mount intercooler kit includes a PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank. It adds clearance for better boost tube routing, holds more coolant than previous designs and uses the OEM tank cap for a great seal! The PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank is protected from the elements by a black texture powder coating. It looks great and makes the silk screened logo pop.
5 Year Warranty - PERRIN Performance warrants to the original purchaser, all PERRIN products to be free from defects in material and workmanship within a sixty (60) months period from the date of purchase.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Employees Fired For Speaking Spanish On The Job, Saying 'Good Morning' in Native Language
CHICAGO - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced the settlement of a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against Watlow Batavia, Inc., a subsidiary of Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, for discriminating against Hispanic workers on the basis of their national origin by firing them for refusing to speak only English on the job.
A Consent Decree was entered today by Federal District Court Judge Milton Shadur of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. Under the terms of the settlement, EEOC's largest ever for English-only violations, Watlow will pay $192,500 to eight Hispanic former employees in the Assembly Department of a plant in suburban Chicago that manufactures aluminum radiators and other products. The workers were discriminated against, unfairly disciplined, and terminated for speaking Spanish to co-workers and friends. One assembly-line worker, Marcelina Navar, was fired after greeting a co-worker by saying "good morning" in Spanish ("buenos dias").
"The Commission will continue to defend employees' civil rights when rules are implemented that arbitrarily penalize a single group based on their national origin," said EEOC Chairwoman Ida L. Castro. "It is imperative for employers to be aware that blanket English-only policies, those requiring workers to speak English at all times with no exceptions, may be unlawful if they are not clearly justified by business necessity."
In addition to the monetary payments, Watlow will provide comprehensive training to its management personnel, post a notice at its plant detailing the outcome of the litigation, and maintain certain employment records for EEOC's review. The agreement also requires that the company not discriminate against its workforce based on national origin nor implement any English-only rules.
"Cases involving language issues, accent discrimination, and restrictive language policies or practices are a strategic enforcement priority for the Commission," said EEOC General Counsel C. Gregory Stewart. "The Commission will aggressively prosecute such cases in order to remedy employment discrimination and protect the public interest."
Since EEOC started separately tracking English-only charges in 1996, there has been an increasing trend in charge filings alleging national origin discrimination based on such policies. Between Fiscal Years 1996 and 1999, the number of charge filings alleging English-only violations has tripled from 77 to 253 charges. In addition, the Commission has obtained several noteworthy settlements and favorable court rulings when litigating English-only cases.
"This settlement should send a strong message to employers in Illinois and across the country about the illegality of English-only rules," said John C. Hendrickson, Regional Attorney of EEOC's Chicago District Office, which filed the lawsuit. "This is an important step in our fight against discrimination on the basis of national origin. We expect that companies will think long and hard about whether to implement rules that discriminate against those who speak languages other than English when those rules aren't necessary to do the job."
EEOC's policy on English-only rules is set out in its Guidelines on Discrimination Because of National Origin (Part 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1606.1). It is the Commission's position that rules requiring employees to speak only English in the workplace have an adverse impact on individuals whose primary language is not English or who are limited in English proficiency. Such English-only rules, when applied at all times, may violate Title VII on the basis of national origin.
José J. Behar, the Supervisory Trial Attorney responsible for prosecuting the case, said: "We are pleased with this outcome. Companies are finally learning a lesson as to what they can and cannot do with respect to requiring workers to speak only English."
He added: "In this case, EEOC believed that Watlow's implementation of an English-only rule constituted disparate treatment of its Hispanic workers. While English-only rules may be justified for certain safety sensitive positions, there is no legitimate rationale for prohibiting employees from speaking their native language during lunch time, on breaks, or in casual conversation to friends and co-workers."
Jonathan A. Rothstein of Gessler, Hughes & Socol, Ltd., who represented seven of the eight affected employees, said: "My clients are happy with this settlement and believe that justice has been done. The outcome of this case should remind other employers that there is a high price to pay for violating the civil rights of workers through the implementation of English-only rules."
In addition to enforcing Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission, including its Guidelines on Discrimination Because of National Origin, is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Valle Crucis, nestled high in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, is a peaceful rural community that has stayed untouched over the years. Valle Crucis is North Carolina's first rural historic district and the entire community is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nationally recognized historic buildings abound in Valle Crucis, with many like The Mast Farm Inn, restored to their initial splendor and still serving the area today. Its majestic scenic beauty continuously mesmerizes residents and draws visitors from throughout the world and the rustic countryside provides ample opportunities for recreational activities.
Guest Reviews
"Consistently Outstanding" • "My husband and I have been guests of the MFI several times and are never disappointed with any aspect of our stay. We have stayed in the Maple Spring Cottage all but once when it was otherwise booked. One of the things we enjoy most is the fact that our cell phones rarely work and there is no TV. There are so many wonderful experiences to be had in this world that we are not the types to keep returning to the same place over and over. We prefer trying new destinations, accommodations and restaurants. But Valle Crucis and the MFI nourish us and continue to draw us back."
"Great Family Weekend" • "We stayed at the Mast Farm Inn for 3 nights with our 2 children, ages 5 & 7. We had the Maple Spring cottage with 1 queen size bed in it's own room and a Murphy bed for the kids in the living room. We were all together, but not on top of each other. The cottage was sweet and homey. The staff was very accommodating to the children, anticipating they might not have the same taste in food and offered regular pancakes and juice boxes. My husband and I, however, thought the breakfasts were out of this world! And the personalized menus were a fun, nice touch. The location was perfect – in between everything you'd want to get to in the mountains. We had the best weekend. We plan to come back again and again!"
"Heavenly Get Away" • "My husband and I were looking for a quiet get away where we could recharge our batteries and celebrate the beginning of our new lives as "empty nesters" What a delight! We stayed in the Maple Springs cottage and could not have had a more wonderful weekend. The staff is pleasant and fun to talk with. The food was outstanding! They catered to my needs as a vegetarian and made sure everything was just perfect for us. We would go back in a heartbeat! I highly recommend it."
"Awesome Time At The Mast Farm Inn!" • "We stayed one night at the inn while on our honeymoon road trip through the area. We were in the Maple Springs Cottage. It was absolutely charming! Very tasteful, warm and welcoming. Everything you could want and more. We also had dinner at the restaurant. It came highly recommended and managed to exceeded our expectations. We had four courses for dinner, all of which were delicious, seasonal and local. I would highly recommend the inn and restaurant to anyone planning a visit to the area! We only wished we had booked in for more nights!"
"Awesome" • "My wife and I stayed 3 nights for our 19th anniversary. It was the most relaxing vacation we have ever experienced! Never have we had so many people trying so hard so make us happy. Being Vegan can be challenging while traveling, usually meaning I'm cooking while on vacation. But the chiefs were happy to accommodate. We were only fortunate enough to have dinner once, the night we arrived. The chefs prepared an excellent meal for us being careful of allergies and dietary restrictions and everything was served with a smile giving us a glimpse of what was to come. Our first morning it was cold outside but the Warmth, laughter and unbelievable food served with a friendly smile kept us happy all day. We could not wait for breakfast every morning. We stayed in the Maple springs cabin. It's on the hill behind the Inn surrounded by deer and tall white pines. What a great way to end the year. When we checked out it was like leaving family. We are already planning our next visit."

New York Knicks Team Report – November 8
=== New York Knicks Team Report – November 8 ===
(Sports Network) – Allan Houston scored a season-high 39 points to lead the
New York Knicks to a come-from-behind 114-111 win over the Sacramento Kings at
Madison Square Garden.
Keith Van Horn added 20 points and 13 boards for New York, which overcame an
11-point fourth-quarter deficit. Kurt Thomas chipped in 17 points and 14
boards as the Knicks outrebounded the Kings by a 47-29 margin and won for the
first time in three tries at home this season.
Charlie Ward's three-pointer with 7:39 left in the contest drew the Knicks
within one at 93-92 with 7:39 to play in the game. After a timeout and a
missed shot by the Kings, Van Horn drained a shot from behind the arc to give
New York its first lead since the first quarter.
The burst, though, did not end there, as Houston later hit another three to
give the Knicks a 98-93 advantage with just over six minutes to play.
Sacramento later closed within two on a three-pointer by Mike Bibby with 49.4
seconds remaining in the contest. Coming off a timeout, the Knicks received a
clutch shot from Houston. With Doug Christie draped all over him, Houston was
still able to convert a difficult 15-footer to make it 110-106 with just over
30 seconds to play.
Peja Stojakovic then nailed a three-pointer to pull the Kings within one,
but Dikembe Mutombo rebounded a Houston miss with 4.8 seconds to go and
was fouled. He calmly hit both from the line to make it a three-point margin.
The Knicks then purposely fouled Bibby, who made the first and tried to miss
the second. However, his second attempt found its way in the basket to make it
a one-point game at 112-111 with 1.9 seconds left in the game.
Houston was subsequently fouled after New York got the ball inbounds and made
two free throws, as New York finished off the contest by converting 21
straight from the line.
The Knicks will clash with the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at MSG.

ARLINGTON, Va. — It's illegal to text while driving in most U.S. states. Yet a new study by researchers at the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) finds no reductions in crashes after laws take effect that ban texting by all drivers. In fact, such bans are associated with a slight increase in the frequency of insurance claims filed under collision coverage for damage to vehicles in crashes. This finding is based on comparisons of claims in 4 states before and after texting ban, compared with patterns of claims in nearby states.
The new findings, released today at the annual meeting of the Governors Highway Safety Association, are consistent with those of a previous HLDI study, which found that banning hand-held phone use while driving doesn't cut crashes. HLDI is an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
HLDI researchers calculated rates of collision claims for vehicles up to 9 years old during the months immediately before and after driver texting was banned in California (January 2009), Louisiana (July 2008), Minnesota (August 2008), and Washington (January 2008). Comparable data were collected in nearby states where texting laws weren't substantially changed during the time span of the study. This controlled for possible changes in collision claim rates unrelated to the bans — changes in the number of miles driven due to the economy, seasonal changes in driving patterns, etc.
"Texting bans haven't reduced crashes at all. In a perverse twist, crashes increased in 3 of the 4 states we studied after bans were enacted. It's an indication that texting bans might even increase the risk of texting for drivers who continue to do so despite the laws," says Adrian Lund, president of both HLDI and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
HLDI's new findings about texting, together with the organization's previous finding that hand-held phone bans didn't reduce crashes, "call into question the way policymakers are trying to address the problem of distracted driving crashes," Lund adds.
California — Collision claims per 100 insured vehicle years, by month before and after texting law for all drivers, compared with Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon
"They're focusing on a single manifestation of distracted driving and banning it. This ignores the endless sources of distraction and relies on banning one source or another to solve the whole problem."
Louisiana — Collision claims per 100 insured vehicle years, by month before and after texting law for all drivers, compared with Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas
Month-to-month fluctuations in the rates of collision claims in HLDI's 4 study states with texting bans for all drivers didn't change much from before to after the bans were enacted. Nor did the patterns differ much from those in nearby states that didn't ban texting for all drivers during the study period. To the extent that the crash patterns did change in the study states, they went up, not down, after the bans took effect. Increases varied from 1 percent more crashes in Washington to about 9 percent more in Minnesota (the result in Washington isn't statistically significant).
Minnesota — Collision claims per 100 insured vehicle years, by month before and after texting law for all drivers, compared with Iowa and Wisconsin
Young motorists are more likely than older people to text while driving. In all 4 of the study states, crashes increased among drivers younger than 25 after the all-driver bans took effect. In California, Louisiana, and Washington, the increases for young drivers were greater than for drivers 25 and older. The largest crash increase of all (12 percent) following enactment of a texting ban was among young drivers in California.
Washington — Collision claims per 100 insured vehicle years, by month before and after texting law for all drivers, compared with Idaho and Oregon
"The point of texting bans is to reduce crashes, and by this essential measure the laws are ineffective," Lund points out. He cautions that "finding no reduction in crashes, or even a small increase, doesn't mean it's safe to text and drive, though. There's a crash risk associated with doing this. It's just that bans aren't reducing this crash risk."
An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study that relied on driver phone records found a 4-fold increase in the risk of injury crashes associated with phoning. A study in Canada found a 4-fold increase in the risk of crashes involving property damage. The crash risk associated with texting hasn't been quantified as precisely, but it may be comparable, if not greater, than the risk associated with phoning.
"Neither texting bans nor bans on hand-held phone use have reduced crash risk," Lund says.
Noncompliance is a likely reason texting bans aren't reducing crashes. Survey results indicate that many drivers, especially younger ones, shrug off these bans. Among 18-24 year-olds, the group most likely to text, 45 percent reported doing so anyway in states that bar all drivers from texting. This is just shy of the 48 percent of drivers who reported texting in states without bans. Many respondents who knew it was illegal to text said they didn't think police were strongly enforcing the bans.
"But this doesn't explain why crashes increased after texting bans," Lund points out. "If drivers were disregarding the bans, then the crash patterns should have remained steady. So clearly drivers did respond to the bans somehow, and what they might have been doing was moving their phones down and out of sight when they texted, in recognition that what they were doing was illegal. This could exacerbate the risk of texting by taking drivers' eyes further from the road and for a longer time."
Using a driving simulator, researchers at the University of Glasgow found a sharp decrease in crash likelihood when participants switched from head-down to head-up displays. This suggests that it might be more hazardous for a driver to text from a device that's hidden from view on the lap or vehicle seat.
Texting in general is on the increase. Wireless phone subscriptions numbered 286 million as of December 2009, up 47 percent from 194 million in June 2005. Text messaging is increasing, too. It went up by about 60 percent in 1 year alone, from 1 trillion messages in 2008 to 1.6 trillion in 2009.
The District of Columbia was the first U.S. jurisdiction to ban all motorists from texting. This was in 2004, and since then 30 states have followed suit. Nearly half of these bans have been enacted in 2010.

Cretsos Leadership Award for "new ASIS&T members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in professional ASIS&T activities." In this article submitted at the Bulletin's request she discusses how she became active in ASIS&T and how such participation has helped her professional career.

Professional associations can have such a profound impact on a person's career in the field of library and information science. My story starts as a first-year LIS student. I knew that I wanted to be an archivist so I applied for an internship with the University of Southern California to ingest data into their GIS-based project, Information for Los Angeles (ISLA). I saw the project as a cool way to preserve all sorts of historical artifacts.
My workstation was adjacent to Marianne Afifi's office, and we often chatted about what I wanted to do when I grew up. She also told me all about the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (LACASIS) and encouraged me to join as a student member. At the time I was working full-time, participating in two internships and planning to complete library school in a year and a summer, so I declined the offer. Plus I did not know how an association like LACASIS would help me achieve my goal to become an archivist. I was not a computer person before entering library school, and coming up to speed on technology was the hardest part. I naïvely saw the technology learning curve dropping off once I finished my courses.
A few months later I had completely abandoned the idea of becoming an archivist. I had no idea that archivists had very little contact with the public, and I had worked in public service for many years before going to library school. I knew that I needed a career that would get me out and talking to people. Since I already had a master's degree in history, I decided to set my sights on becoming an academic reference librarian. Upon graduation I was offered a job at Chapman University as an off-campus librarian. I served the university's Northern California academic centers. My partner in crime was Pattie Dillon, who was responsible for the Southern California academic centers.
After we had worked together for a few months Pattie asked if I would be interested in helping her solicit sponsors for an upcoming workshop sponsored by LACASIS. I said "Yes" more because of my inability to say "No" than my interest in LACASIS. I still did not think LACASIS was the best place for me, but figured the project was short-term and an easy way to help a friend. I decided not become a member, and just helped Pattie behind the scenes.
During the sponsorship project with Pattie, I joined The Claremont Colleges as a reference and instruction librarian. One of my new colleagues, Linda Gunter, was also working on the LACASIS Fall Workshop committee. She talked me into helping her with a few things and encouraged me to attend. It was not until I went to the workshop that it all clicked. Just because I wanted to be a reference and instruction librarian or a history subject specialist did not necessarily mean that I could only be part of professional organizations that focused on those areas. I had been to meetings of other associations and always got the same feelings I had not done my time, the group had worked many years to refine their little niche and things had always been done this way. I quickly found LACASIS workshops and meetings were different.
Linda encouraged me to attend a LACASIS board meeting, and everyone welcomed me as if I had been in the field 20 years, not as a recently graduated student. Every conference, workshop and program left me dazed and confused, and I loved it. Speakers talked about cutting-edge technologies and came from a variety of library and information science specialties. Months, and sometimes years later, things I was exposed to at a LACASIS or ASIS&T event helped me to make a decision or chart a course. Events and networking have also taught me to communicate beyond reference and instruction librarianship. I am not afraid to learn something new or to admit I do not understand. I will not accept the answer that "This is the way we have always done it" or "This technology will solve all your problems but I cannot explain how it helps the user in plain English." As a result I have been able to bring groups together to look at the balance between technology and public service. My last position at the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges was as the Team Leader for Digital Libraries. This team was not created merely to develop databases of digital assets and resources, but instead to investigate strategies, resources and technologies that would enhance services and better provide resources to our users.
I got sucked into LACASIS while working at the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges. I use the term sucked because of the intensity that is LACASIS. I have been a member of, and elected to office in, a number of other local and national associations, but no association does more with less than LACASIS. Fifteen to twenty active member host more events and engage in more activities than any other association in which I have been involved. I was asked to be the publicity chair at the first meeting I attended. I sent out all electronic publicity to lists and other local associations. A few board meetings later the group talked about ways to bring new student members into LACASIS. I agreed to plan a career event for my alma mater. The career event featured two panels, one with five speakers with hiring responsibilities and the second with seven recent graduates. I also encouraged employers to bring job flyers, and I compiled a binder of jobs from corporate, public, academic and law libraries. The board was very enthusiastic about the event's success and honored me with the Chapter Membership Award.
Soon after the first career event Linda Rudell-Betts talked me into running for chair-elect/program chair. I ran unopposed and soon found myself in my first elected office. Of all the positions that I have held this one was by far the most hectic, but most enjoyable for me. I remember sitting down with Karen Howell (a past chair) and Marianne Afifi (chair) in the same area where I had done my internship a few years earlier. Karen, like me, has a timeline for everything. As Karen talked about the outline, I could not wait to get home and start planning for the next year. In all I planned two awards programs, three dinner programs, a career program, a business-meeting program and a joint holiday program. Since serving as chair-elect, I have also served as chair, co-chair, past chair/Nominations Committee chair and past chair/Awards Committee chair. No matter what position I held I always tried to weasel my way back into doing program planning, and I have subsequently chaired or co-chaired several other events.
Program planning has allowed me to meet so many people in both ASIS&T and the library and information science community. As program chair in 2000 I planned a program on e-books that focused on users (not vendors) and ended up corresponding with a member of the 2000 ASIS&T Annual Meeting Planning Committee. As Fall Workshop co-chair in 2001 I secured numerous speakers to come speak, but two stand out in my mind. One would be a future colleague at the University of California, San Diego, and the other would be my future boss at California State University, Channel Islands. I had never met either man and had solicited them to speak at the meeting via e-mail. It was not until the day of the workshop that I actually met them face-to-face. Luckily for me they were both great speakers, and I am fortunate that opportunities opened up to work with them.
I always tell students at career events that you never know whom you are going to meet at LACASIS. For example, I convince a person to speak at a LACASIS event. He takes a job as the director of the library for the newest California State University. He puts out a job announcement for a head of public services to help in his vision to create a digital teaching library, and I end up in my dream job a new university that focuses on the student, a university librarian who values information literacy and embraces new technologies, a fast paced start-up library, wonderful hard working colleagues and a five-minute walk to work.
Since I finished library school LACASIS friends and programs have had a huge impact on how my career has unfolded. The commitment of the chapter's core members continues to astonish me. Many people that I mentioned in this article are not only active locally, but also active nationally. They have inspired me to plan quality programs and activities for LACASIS members and others in the Southern California library and information science community. As chair of the 2004 Fall Workshop, which will focus on the balance between access and privacy, it is my hope that a few non-members in the audience will be energized by the program content and networking opportunities and decide as I did to become more involved with LACASIS. I believe without a doubt it will change the way they think about the field of library and information science.

* No policy tapering expected from dovish Fed
* Super-loose policies storing up medium-term risks
* High unemployment, low inflation to confirm ECB stance
By Alan Wheatley
LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Back in May and June, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke played a trick on markets by sketching out a timetable for reducing the central bank's $85 billion-a-month bond buying. Investors recoiled in horror and bond yields surged.
This week, though, they are in for a treat.
The Fed's policy-making committee ends a two-day meeting on Wednesday and the chances are vanishingly small that it will start to dial down the monetary stimulus right away.
The recent government shutdown in Washington and last-gasp deal to raise the federal debt ceiling have simply created too much economic uncertainty.
As a result, the usefulness of September figures on industrial output, retail sales and consumer prices as well as the Institute of Supply Management's October manufacturing survey will be limited.
Apart from a dearth of 'clean' data for the Fed to analyse, the labour market's lacklustre performance has convinced many economists that the Fed will delay 'tapering' until 2014. What more could liquidity-driven markets ask for?
Jamie Dannhauser of Lombard Street Research, a London consultancy, expects the Fed to start curtailing its bond buying in the first quarter of next year, by which time Bernanke will have been succeeded by his dovish deputy, Janet Yellen, and to end asset purchases by the end of 2014.
Dannhauser is bullish on the U.S. economy, not least because stiff fiscal headwinds will ease next year.
But he said the Fed was likely to maintain very significant monetary stimulus until growth gets closer to pre-crisis trends. Thus a rise in short-term interest rates was unlikely until well into 2015.
"Tapering and even an end to asset purchases are very different from a withdrawal of stimulus," Dannhauser said.
"The U.S. economy still has a very big hole that needs to be filled, and people like Bernanke and Yellen are very acutely aware of this point."
Many economists, while agreeing that an emergency policy response was needed in 2008, worry that since the 1987 stock market crash central bankers and governments have been too quick to ease in downturns and too slow to tighten in recoveries.
Treats are nice, but too much chocolate can make you ill.
When he was chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements, Bill White issued a series of prescient pre-crisis warnings of bubbles and imbalances that were building up in the global economy. He was politely ignored.
White worries that policy makers are not learning the lessons. It will be harder to return to strong, sustainable growth because fiscal and monetary stimulus is storing up medium-term difficulties, he told a London audience last week.
"Not least of them is that the very easy monetary conditions that we've seen since the crisis have basically impeded the process of deleveraging," White said.
In the Group of 20 leading economies, government, household and corporate debt is now 30 percent greater than it was before the crisis, he said, citing BIS figures.
"We haven't actually dealt yet with the problems of the advanced market economies and in addition, with the crisis having spread to the emerging market economies, we now have a problem that is bigger than before," White said.
Central banks are certainly sending out dovish signals.
The Bank of Japan is intent on doubling its monetary base in two years. The Bank of England, playing down the risk of moral hazard, last week eased its liquidity-provision rules. The Bank of Canada surprised markets by signalling it will not raise interest rates any time soon.
"And while the People's Bank of China has recently tightened liquidity, the extensive influence of Fed policy on global liquidity cycles suggests easy conditions will prevail. Markets are extending their run on this supportive policy outlook," Gustavo Reis of Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note.
The European Central Bank has an easing bias, too, and figures from the euro zone are likely to confirm why the bank expects its main policy rate to stay low for an extended period.
Unemployment was probably unchanged in September at a near-record 12 percent, according to economists, who expect that inflation in the year to October held steady at 1.1 percent.
The ECB's definition of price stability is just below 2 percent and new forecasts by its staff in December are likely to project inflation remaining well below this target in 2014 and 2015, according to Greg Fuzesi at JP Morgan in London.
That would significantly reinforce the ECB's forward guidance on its policy stance, Fuzesi said in a report.
"We think it would also put the focus on the much bigger question of why the central bank is not doing more to lift growth and prevent inflation from undershooting its target for so long," he wrote.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Continue Reading Below
The markets capped the day little changed Monday in holiday-thinned trade as market participants mulled a smattering of corporate news and data from Asia.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.23 point, or 0.00%, to 12815, the S&P 500 gained 0.15 point, or 0.01%, to 1380 and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.62 point, or 0.02%, to 2904.
The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all shed more than 2% last week after American elections largely reaffirmed the status quo in Washington, D.C. As a result of the sharp divides in Congress, traders remain deeply concerned about the looming fiscal cliff -- spending cuts and tax hikes that are set to go into effect at the beginning of next year. Analysts generally reckon that an agreement will be struck that will avert what could be a big drag on economic output, but it remains far from certain.
"Our baseline remains that the two sides will find an agreement before the end of 2012, but it is a close call," Goldman Sachs chief U.S. economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a note to clients this weekend. "A failure to settle before yearend would increase the drag on growth via greater uncertainty on the part of firms and consumers."
Monday is a federal holiday, meaning U.S. bond markets are closed. There is also no U.S. economic data on the docket. Market participants said they are generally expecting thin trading.
A report showed Chinese exports climbed more than expected in October, while imports increased by a lower-than-expected margin, helping to ease fears of a hard landing for the world's No. 2 economy. As a result, economists at Barclays warn that "external uncertainty remains the biggest downside risk to China's growth, and a key area to watch for is the sustainability of the growth" stabilization.
The rest of the week is set to be considerably busier for an economic standpoint. The Federal Reserve releases minutes from its last policy-setting meeting on Wednesday, an event that is expected to shed light on the central bank's thinking on the economy and monetary policy. There are also several important releases due throughout the week, including regional manufacturing gauges, inflation data and information on retail sales.
In corporate news, Leucadia National unveiled plans to acquire Jefferies (NYSE:JEF) in a deal values the investment bank at roughly $3.6 billion. Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:SHW) said it is acquiring Consorcio Comex for $2.34 billion as the paint company looks to extend its reach into Latin America.
Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) also said it will officially launch its much-awaited BlackBerry 10 platform on January 30.
Commodities were little changed. The benchmark crude oil contract traded in New York fell 19 cents, or 0.22%, to $85.88 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline rose 0.22% to $2.705 a gallon.
In metals, gold gained $5.50, or 0.32%, to $1,736 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 rose 0.07% to 2482, the English FTSE 100 gained 0.37% to 5791 and the German DAX climbed 0.39% to 7192.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 slumped 0.93% to 8676 and the Chinese Hang Seng edged up by 0.21% to 21430.

Perrin PSP-BRK-402 Master Cylinder Brace 08-11 Subaru Impreza
The PERRIN Master Cylinder Brace locks down the master cylinder preventing unwanted movement due to a weak firewall. Allowing the driver to regain maximum braking force and increased pedal stiffness.
Reduce Flex - The thin sheet metal firewall isn't able to deal with the constant forces from repeatedly applying the brakes in all conditions. Over time it begins to flex and give as the brake pedal is depressed. The PERRIN Master Cylinder Brace creates a bridge between the firewall, master cylinder and shock tower, eliminating flex in the firewall while braking.
Stiffen Up Your Brake Pedal Feel - The PERRIN Master Cylinder Brace eliminates the flex at the firewall, so you feel nothing but solid pedal feedback with every application of the brakes. Even slowing for a stop sign, the difference can immediately be felt after installation of the PERRIN Master Cylinder Brace.
Construction - The PERRIN Master Cylinder Brace is constructed of CNC Machined 6061 aluminum, and CNC formed Steel. This combination of different materials are used to add extra support compared to other systems. Making this from two CNC parts instead of a series of welded steel pieces, keeps the part extremely stiff as well as very light.
Design - We constructed this part to bolt to three different surfaces around your shock tower. One surface runs parallel to the master cylinder, one perpendicular and another perpendicular but on a different plane. Triangulating the mounting points reduces flex even further than single plane designs.
FINISH - The aluminum portion is anodized black with a bold PERRIN logo laser engraved into the upper surface. The steel section is wrinkled powder coated in your choice of three colors to match your other PERRIN parts. Perfectly combines an aesthetic improvement to your engine bay as well as braking feel!
5 Year Warranty - PERRIN Performance warrants to the original purchaser, all PERRIN products to be free from defects in material and workmanship within a sixty (60) months period from the date of purchase.

Bismuth Yellow is an intense, light value, semi-opaque yellow pigment with good tinting strength.
Bismuth Yellow has excellent lightfastness.
Bismuth orthovanadate is harmful if swallowed. It is irritating to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Exposure may cause conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and reversible irritation of the respiratory tract. More severe cases may cause bronchitis, bronchospasms, and asthma like disease. It may cause polycythemia, red blood cell destruction and anemia, albuminuria and hematuria, gastrointestinal disorders, nervous complaints, and severe cough. However, bismuth vanadium oxide is completely insoluble in water. This limits absorption and biological activity. In waterbased paints, it must be suspended in a binder vehicle. Because of low absorption, such clinical symptons are primarily limited to cases of long-term occupational exposure.
Bismuth orthovanadate occurs naturally in several minerals. Although it was synthesized in the 1920s, it was not developed as a commercial pigment until the 1970s.
Permanent Lemon Yellow, Vanadium Yellow.
Pigment PY74 is one of the most commercially important pigments of the Hansa Yellow group, considered superior to many others in its class based on both tinting strength and lightfastness. Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
mix of organic pigments
Hooker's Green is a bright olive-green often sold in a yellowish shade and a bluish shade. Its transparency can range from dull and dark to bright and light because lightness and chroma vary based on manufacturer. Modern varieties have a rich, dark tone that provides a great range when mixing. Hooker's Green is particularly good for landscape painting when a larger range of foliage is required. Dioxazine Violet is the best mixing compliment in watercolor form.
The permanence and lightfastness of Hooker's Green varies by brand. As a composite pigment historically mixed from Prussian Blue and Gamboge, its permanence is only fair. Modern replacements for Hooker's Green tend to be mixed with components that have more permanence, such as Phthalocyanine Green, Burnt Umber, and sometimes Hansa or Cobalt Yellow.
Hooker's Green can be hazardous, but the toxicity level depends on the specific pigments used by each individual manufacturer or brand.
This pigment was originally an unreliable mix of Prussian or Iron Blue and Gamboge. Later, it became a more reliable mix of Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo Blue or Green. It was a staple green for 19th century landscape and botanical painters. Most modern Hooker's Green paints are yellow greens with a hue angle around 140, or a mix of Phthalo Green and Burnt Umber.

Vijay is an amazing person to work with. Honest, sincere, caring, and responds in the most timely manner that I have ever experienced while purchasing goods online. Never tried to upsell or anything of the sort but rather gave me the best possible deal that I could find from any site. Looked at comparable rings on other jewelry sites.. etc. but his prices were better and customer service was impeccable. Texting me pics of different diamonds, gemstones, and prices and keeping me in the loop throughout the entire process. Ultimately ended up going with .75 ct diamond center with .35 ct swiss blue topaz (Birthstone) on either side. Also was in a time crunch as I needed it before our trip to Thailand, and although I ordered it relatively late, Vijay made sure I had it in my hands 2 days before I left. Amazing quality, stunning diamonds and gems, and the best customer service you will find. Will recommend to everyone.
Truth be told, we had some issues with the ring, but ViJay consistently worked and communicated with us. His continual reassurance allowed us to never once feel as if we were "taken." Ultimately, we received a newly constructed ring and are now 100% satisfied!
Vijay is the best! I purchased this ring for my girlfriend and a few hours later I get a personal call from Vijay, where he introduces himself and assures me that I will get a beautiful ring to propose with. He guided me on every aspect of the design and progress as it came along. My girlfriend is not my fiance! She couldn't have happier with the ring! We had to get the ring re-sized, as my fiance lost some weight since the last time her finger was sized. We got it back to Vijay, just to make sure it was done right, and we got it back within the week... it is perfect! I would 100% recommend Vijay and Trijewels.
i got this after searching for weeks for a ring with a tri stone setting with garnets (my fiances birthstone). i finally found this ring from trijewles and it was perfect for a great price. the staff was very helpful and walked me through the process.

Presets in LR4 Work Different. Seim Effects Will Stay Compatible.
With the announcement of LR4 Beta the other day, we have some fresh changes coming to LR. One of those is a change to the way LR handles develop settings and thus, presets. It's good in a way and bad in a way. But I've known about it ever since the initial LR4 press conference some weeks back and have been planning. Here's the scoop on all this…
The Bottom Line Is that Seim Effects has a FREE update for you coming in March. There have been some changes in LR4 and it should make editing better in the long run and your Seim Effects will still work great. Now lets look at details of what's going on…
The good is that RAW and JPEG files should no longer need different presets. In LR3 and earlier, a preset made for one file type would work very differently on the other file type. This meant that to be fully compatible you had to make one presets for RAW/DNG formats and another for JPEG, PSD and others. Something I do in Power Workflow.
The bad is that this will make current presets that cross over into areas where the new/old process tools are referenced (for example shadow and highlight) not always work as expected. To keep everything working seamlessly, preset makers should release free updates so they work as expected in all versions.
The great news is that all current Seim Effects preset collections will be updated and work in LR4 as well as maintain functionality in earlier versions. This will be a free update for all users and the update should be out around the time that LR4 officially launches.
More good news. In particular, LR 4 uses different baseline for contrast and some other things. It also has replaced the Fill and Recovery with the improved Shadow and Highlight tools. I have been experimenting and the good part is that most of my presets work fine in LR4 right now. Mostly they cross over just fine, even when updated to the 2012 process. So while update are coming, don't be afraid to use Seim Effects presets right now in LR4 Beta. If you find a problem that I've missed here I've missed here feel free to email me directly, email@example.com. That's why we have a Beta period.
The Nerdy Stuff. Here's some things I've learned and I've dug in and played with the new settings. Aside from new features, it's of note that all files (not just JPEG) now use zero Contrast and Liner Tone Curve as the baseline. This will allow every file type to work with the same preset. Very cool.
But how does that cross over. Well say you apply a preset in LR4 that defines and old setting (such as Highlight Recovery and Contrast). LR adds those settings just as expected, maintaining the old 2010 process. But LR4 also auto updates to new settings. Say you convert that image to the new process, LR crosses over those settings as best it can to the new settings. Converting for example Highlight Recovery, to an application of the new Shadow and Highlight that closely match.
Of course you don't have to use the new process at all, so images you have done in the past will be just fine, and even new images you want to use a specific process on. If you apply settings that use old process tools it will enter that old process mode. It's only when you update that image to the 2012 process that it attempts to convert the settings over and match the effect in the new settings (generally pretty effectively).
I have noticed that if you have an effect that uses a 2012 process and apply it back in LR3, the new process elements (for example Shadow and Highlight) will get ignored. It does not convert backwards. That said, I do plan to maintain LR2 and LR3 support for current tools. I'll probably maintain have sets that will be included in my downloads for a time, until most the world is using LR4.
So as an example. Here's what you might see in a kit like Power Workflow 3 once everything is updated.
- LR2/LR3 Presets. Raw set and JPEG Set.
- LR4 Presets. One set works on any file format.
Now LR4 is still in beta. But I plan to release updates around the time LR4 officially releases. In the meantime things are still working in all versions and as I make updates, will only get better. While I do have some work to do, I'm excited about what possible in LR4 and there's some good stuff in the works. Stay tuned… Gavin

Aileen Wuornos
On November 30, 1989, Richard Mallory, a storeowner in Palm Harbor, Florida, is last seen taking a ride with Aileen Wuornos. The following day, his car was found abandoned in a remote area of Ormond Beach. Nearly two weeks later, his body turned up in a Daytona Beach junkyard with three bullets in his chest.
Mallory's murder was the first of seven committed by Aileen Wuornos over the next year. Perhaps because she was one of the few women killers to gain widespread fame and notoriety, she was inaccurately dubbed "America's first female serial killer." Her case was heavily publicized through television talk show appearances and a documentary, The Selling of a Serial Killer.
Wuornos' parents split before she was born and her father, who had been arrested for child molesting, killed himself while awaiting trial in a mental institution. When her mother abandoned her at a young age, Aileen was sent to live with grandparents. She was kicked out of their home when she got pregnant at age 14. From 1974 to 1976, Wuornos operated under several aliases and amassed an arrest record for offenses including drunken driving, assault, and armed robbery. In 1986, she became romantically and criminally involved with a woman named Tyria Moore. In late 1989, Wuornos began her infamous killing spree. Five months after Richard Mallory was killed, David Spears was found dead, shot six times with a .22 caliber gun in the woods near Tampa. At around the same time, another male body turned up nearby that appeared to have been killed with the same type of gun. Three additional men met the same demise during the summer of 1990. When the seventh victim was found in November, the media was alerted to the possibility of a serial killer. After receiving several tips, detectives caught Wuornos in a seedy biker bar in January 1991. With Moore assisting police, Wuornos confessed to the killings but claimed that they had all been done in self-defense. When a jury found Wuornos guilty on January 27, 1992 and was sentenced to death. She was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.

Quote from: MeshGearFox on June 29, 2013, 05:59:22 PMDanrilion, do you have an combat-related mods you'd recommend for Morrowang?Morrowang? BahahahaDo you mean to stop your attacks missing most of the time in the beginning? There is a mod to make every attack hit but it ruins the difficulty. Not as in a "oh noes, you are not playing the game how it is meant to" but in a it totally unbalances the game kind of way. The combat is based on behind the scenes dice rolls and the mod interferes with the damage reading causing all kinds of problems.The leveling system was the thing I had to change.

We are suddenly getting more showings of our house! We had one Monday and have another one tonight at 5:00. A total of four people contacted our realtor over the weekend, so there are two more to go! It's exciting, but very emotional waiting to hear if anyone will make an offer. And unfortunately, this means I can't spend any time in my studio on current projects, so I still have nothing to show you. But you don't mind as long as we're getting our house shown, do you?
I also want to help spread the word that Amy of Park City Girl is having another Bloggers Quilt Festival! If you participated in the last festival as I did, you know how much fun it is! If you haven't been over to visit Amy, please do!
I'm still trying to catch up with blog reading - it's been pretty busy at work this week. The good news is that my new monitor is scheduled to arrive today! I'll be setting it up later this evening after the showing, so I won't be participating in this week's Vintage Thingie Thursday. If you get a chance, though, please visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady tomorrow for all the great VTT posts!

Building a Better Tenofovir: Oral Prodrug GS-7340 Outperforms "Old" Tenofovir, Research Finds
October 26, 2012
A new oral prodrug form of tenofovir (Viread), GS-7340 (also known as tenofovir alafenamide, TAF), showed greater antiviral potency and stability than the currently marketed form of the drug, according to study results presented at ICAAC 2012.
It should be noted that the NRTI sold under the brand name Viread and used in single-tablet combinations such as Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC) and Stribild (elvitegravir/cobicistat/FTC/tenofovir) is actually tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), which is already a prodrug -- a medication that breaks down into tenofovir when metabolized in the blood. GS-7340 marks an effort to improve upon the previous prodrug formulation.
The study, conducted by Gilead Sciences, analyzed GS-7340's performance against HIV isolates in blood cells. It found that GS-7340 had high potency against 26 HIV-1 isolates representing 7 subtypes. It also showed high potency against three HIV-2 isolates. In addition, GS-7340 maintained its viral potency longer than TDF, showing its better stability.
An earlier phase-1 study showed that GS-7340 was well tolerated and showed improved initial antiviral activity at lower doses than TDF (25 mg vs. 300 mg). After 10 days of monotherapy, study volunteers on GS-7340 had a median HIV RNA reduction of 1.46 log, while those on TDF had a median HIV RNA change of -0.97 log.
Reporting on the ICAAC 2012 study results, Mark Mascolini wrote the following for NATAP:
The researchers also evaluated GS-7340's response against a panel of other human viruses, including influenza A, rhinovirus and varicella zoster virus. There was no significant response, except for moderate activity against herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2).
There are two ongoing phase 2 studies analyzing GS-7340's efficacy when used in combination with elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine and darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine.
