Nearly everyone in the HIV community has been talking about last week's big news: A man in Germany whose HIV viral load has remained undetectable for two years following a bone marrow transplant even though he hasn't taken a single HIV med since the procedure. What do you think about this remarkable story?
First of all, it's really not new. I'm not sure why it's come up at this time. It was really reported back in February after the CROI conference [Conference on Retrovirals and Opportunistic Infections; to view poster, click here]. The only thing that's different now is that we've gone another several months beyond that.
Martin Delaney, Founder, Project Inform
I think it's a very interesting case, but I think it's premature to call it a cure. You really can't say that the virus is eliminated in the individual, because when you search for the virus in people where it's really been suppressed deeply, your ability to find the virus depends entirely on how much blood you're willing to take from that patient to find that one cell or another that happens to be infected. You just can't take the amounts of blood that are necessary to really find whether the virus has been eliminated.
But, that being said, what this does seem to suggest at the very least is that it has been suppressed to some level so low that it hasn't rekindled the infection of fulminant expression of virus. There aren't measurable amounts of new virus being made. So even if there is some HIV latently present or hidden away in cells, it is so suppressed that the body seems to be able to keep it from replicating again at any significant level. I think that's a really important learning point. It suggests that there will be ways to control HIV without the use of the drugs.
Obviously, the method that they used couldn't be applied widely. It's too expensive and too dangerous. But it could be done with gene therapy and perhaps even other methods. I think there is a lot of hope in this, but I think it's really important that we be careful not to oversell it.
Since this was discussed at CROI a little bit and I knew that amfAR [The Foundation for AIDS Research] met with the doctor and looked at some of the tests back in February. Haven't they found something out since then?
I think the amfAR meeting was much later than that. I think it was in September. It wasn't right after the CROI conference.
"The longer it goes without the virus starting to replicate again, the more impressive it becomes."
The only thing they can do, really, is to use more sensitive tests. We have tests using the standard amounts of blood that can read down between zero and 20 copies. But even if you reach zero on that test, you're only saying zero in that small amount of blood. To really say it's not there, you'd almost have to look at all of the blood in the human body. Obviously, that can't be done.
I think the main thing that's new is the length of time. At CROI they reported, I think, about 320 days post the transplant, and there was no sign of the virus. Now they're up to 600 days. That makes it more impressive. The longer it goes without the virus starting to replicate again, the more impressive it becomes.
I have one more question about the testing: Couldn't one test in his lymph nodes or the seminal fluid? Aren't there other places where HIV hides normally?
Sure. There are place that are what they call reservoirs and there are the lymph nodes. But, ultimately, it's going to come down to the amount of blood or the amount of tissue that you look at to really find whether you're down to the last few copies or whether it's actually gone.
People are calling this another KP-1461, which was another drug that held a lot of hope. Is this similar to that, or is this more hopeful?
I'm not even familiar with KP1461! [laughs] I've never heard of it before! I think this is more hopeful because this is an effort to cure the disease. It really moves us in that direction. I haven't seen any drugs that do that. Every drug I've seen is simply about suppressing viral replication and keeping it down at a low level.
Basically, what they've done with this person is build a new immune system using cells that are naturally resistant to infection from HIV. That's a radically different idea than just putting in more antivirals.
Could you explain on a patient level what a Delta-32 mutation is?
There's a certain mutation that a small percentage of people have which renders them incapable of producing what's called the CCR5 receptor. HIV needs that receptor in most cases to connect to and infect the body. What they've done here is they've used cells from a donor who had that mutation and therefore these cells don't have that CCR5 receptor and don't produce it. HIV will have a heck of a hard time infecting those cells.
If you get a bone marrow transplant, does that mean that all the cells will be replaced in your entire body with this new mutated cell?
First of all, this isn't just any old bone marrow transplant. We've had plenty of HIV-positive people who've gotten bone marrow transplants for a variety of reasons. In none of those cases did anything like this happen. What's different here was choosing this very special donor who had the mutation that we just talked about that prevents the cells from making the receptor that HIV needs.
Your question is a good one, because have they really -- through the bone marrow transplant -- have they eliminated all the other original cells, the ones that were susceptible to HIV?
The answer to that is probably no. But it may be that, over time, the new cells will come to dominate if not become the entire immune system, simply because they're the cells that are going to live while the HIV ones -- the infectable ones -- are going to die.
The other thing that was impressive about this is that this is all occurring in a man who's very ill. He has leukemia, so I don't know what the cure rate of that is, but he has immune problems beside HIV.
"I think people will have to look at this as something of a proof of concept. That's what you heard from David Baltimore and Tony Fauci and Bob Gallo. ... That this may _not_ be a practical solution, but it suggests that other methods that might produce the same result are worth trying. In particular, that means the gene therapy approaches."
Right. That's correct. I don't really know what his condition is today. Obviously, they tried the bone marrow transplant, which is usually done as a last ditch effort. But apparently it worked if he's still alive at this point. But whether he's fully healthy or has a strong or a weak immune system, that's the kind of information we just don't have.
What do you think the next step should be?
I think all you can do is continue to follow the patient. I think it would also be important to get as much information as possible about his condition prior to the bone marrow transplant. We really don't know what levels of virus he had back then, what drugs he was on. Maybe somebody knows, but that information has not been made public. But I think it's critical to have that information to understand what really has taken place here.
Then, beyond that, I think people will have to look at this as something of a proof of concept. That's what you heard from David Baltimore and Tony Fauci and Bob Gallo. All three of them said the same thing: That this may not be a practical solution, but it suggests that other methods that might produce the same result are worth trying. In particular, that means the gene therapy approaches.
Do you know of any studies like that that are going on currently?
Yes, in fact. There's one fairly large such trial that's been going on for almost three years now and will report its data sometime in this coming year. It's not exactly the same type of genetic change -- it's a different model. But it's a similarly intent.
Then beyond that, there's at least a couple of other approaches that are planning to go ahead with pretty much the same thing here, where they will genetically alter cells taken from the patient, give them this mutated gene that prevents production of the receptor and then those cells will be grown in quantity and given back to the patient.
If somebody wanted to volunteer for either of these studies, how would they be able to do that? Would you know how they could?
I can't say that there's a startup date necessarily for them, but some of the groups that are involved in these include David Baltimore's group, also the City of Hope out of Los Angeles is working on this. Those would probably be the first two places I would look.
You've been one of the few people to really stay on the subject of cure.
Is there a think tank for the cure? You just mentioned two names: David Baltimore and City of Hope. For somebody who says, "I want to help move this forward, in whatever way possible," is there a Web site or a phone number or they could join?
There isn't a particular Web site, but there's a group of community organizations that have come together that includes Project Inform, TAG [Treatment Action Group], amfAR [The Foundation for AIDS Research], and FAIR, which is the Foundation for AIDS and Immune Research, all of which are now very committed to this search for an outright cure. I think we've all come to the conclusion that we're never going to treat our way out of this epidemic. Given the failure of vaccines to this point, it really behooves us to put more energy into looking or an outright cure. Any of those organizations would appreciate support and can share information.
There is a fairly large international group of researchers that are coming together around this as well. A couple of the drug companies in particular are involved in this. Tibotec and Merck are working in this area as is the National Institutes of Health.
It's an idea whose time has come and has caught fire. Despite the controversy around this particular example, I think it lends credibility to the field and I think even more researchers will show some interest in this in the coming years.
If you had a crystal ball and could predict the future in terms of a cure, are we talking about a cure in the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years?
The issue is: How long does it take to prove it? You might well see the first cures happen, I would think, within the next five to 10 years. The challenge, then, is that those just lead you to the necessity of then conducting large-scale trials to prove that this wasn't a fluke and that it can be done in a repeatable fashion.
That second part, the proof part, is going to take, easily, another five to 10 years beyond that, if not more. But there will probably be opportunities for people. I think, initially, the people that will be most likely to benefit from this will be people who have gotten into therapy very early in the course of disease. There are people who got into treatment programs during what they call the acute phase of infection.
Why them particularly?
Because the earlier you start treatment, the less loss you have of key memory cells and other important cells in the immune system. That's becoming more and more clear in recent years. It wasn't practical to put people on treatment really early in previous years because of the toxicity of the drugs. But we're dealing with a new generation of drugs now that are nowhere near as toxic as before. So it becomes practical for people to start treatment at a very early stage. When they do, it's probably possible to preserve more of the immune system and therefore make the idea of a cure easier.

Enjoy Rosh Hashanah inspiration from 2011!
WOW!! What a gorgeous holiday table!! If you are looking for elegant table setting ideas then you've come to the right place! Viviane's flair for color and style is evident with the effort that she put into her Rosh Hashanah table. Shades of the color purple are associated with royalty, wisdom, and mystery in which the flowers, dishes, placemats and stemware add the extra touch of sophistication to the table.
I love how she so cleverly used Kim Seybert napkin rings as a backdrop for printed place cards for her guests! And the individual simanim for each family member! What a cool idea! Love it! I'm sure adults and children alike went home with wonderful holiday memories that reflected the effort and thought that went into this special holiday table setting. (Not to mention all the the yummy kosher holiday recipes that were prepared as well! Viviane- send us your holiday menu also!!) Shana Tova! Marlene
"I got my idea online from a Chinese hostess website. I bought the spoons from a restaurant warehouse and the plates underneath from CB2. I went to Paper Moon Invitations on Avenue P and had them print up the cards with each beracha. Then I went to Lana fabric on Kings Highway and bought organza plum ribbon and tied each one to each spoon. Every person got their own plate with their own spoons and simanim. What a nice night! Viviane"

In my application I need to to bring up a keyboard dialog when a user clicks any of the edit boxes in the application. Therefore I have OnSetFocus() implemented in all over the application (dialogs) which brings up the keybaord in each of them (which is just another dialog).
I would rather subclass the CEdit control and implement SetFocus() in it and use this class to lend this behavior automatically to all the edit boxes I am using in the application. The problem is that the keyboard dialog is really part of the end dialog, more accurately part of the base class of the end dialog which has the following class hierarchy.
The problem is how can I access the ShowKeyboard() function from the underlying dialog while overriding CEdit::OnSetFocus()? Thanks.Code:CDialog CDialogEx - it implements ShowKeyboard() CMyDialog - it calls the base ShowKeyboard() to bring up the dialog in OnSetFocus()

The escalating hard feelings between members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and the Vagos Motorcycle Club erupted into gunfire early Saturday afternoon in Chino Valley, Arizona.
Multiple news outlets are reporting the fight took place near a gray, two story, stucco house in 2600 the block of Yuma Drive around noon. Yuma Drive is about a mile west of Route 89. Chino Valley is a mostly rural, incorporated area about 50 miles south of Ash Fork and about 25 miles north of Prescott.
The Hells Angels Skull Valley Charter had a clubhouse in Chino Valley. That charter was apparently decertified after Operation Black Biscuit. Black Biscuit was an ATF investigation that attempted to entrap and incriminate as many Hells Angels as possible. During that investigation, an ATF Special Agent named Jay Anthony Dobyns and a paid, confidential informant named James "Pops" Blankenship prospected with the Skull Valley charter. Blankenship has characterized that investigation as a morally reprehensible "rogue" operation. Both Dobyns and Blankenship later sued the ATF.
Five men were injured in yesterday's fight. One man was treated at the scene and released. Another man was carried out of the Yuma Drive home on a stretcher and helicoptered to a hospital in Phoenix. Residents identified the home as the long time residence of a member of the Hells Angels.
After the grey eminence of the Hells Angels, Ralph "Sonny" Barger retired to suburban Phoenix, the most respected motorcycle club in that state, the Dirty Dozen Motorcycle Club, patched over to Barger's club and the Angels have vigorously asserted their preeminence in Arizona ever since.
Both the Vagos and the Hells Angels are respectfully regarded one percenter clubs with chapters in California and Nevada. The Angels and the Vagos are sometimes rumored to have negotiated an agreement in the late 90s that would keep the Vagos out of Arizona. It was a quid pro quo agreement that some observers allege the Angels violated.
Consequently, relations between the two clubs have been less cordial that they could be. For example in June 2009, according to police, five Hells Angels and two Desert Road Riders attacked two Vagos at Lazy Harry's Sunshine Saloon in Bullhead City. Six months later, Vagos and Hells Angels were reported to have brawled in a parking lot in mellow Santa Cruz, California. The Bullhead City brawl prompted a six month long campaign of police harassment against all bikers in Mojave County, Arizona.
Late last year, Barger led a large pack of bikes into Kingman, putatively, to challenge a local no-colors policy. Barger was actually cited for speeding during that run and briefly detained when he refused to sign the ticket. In early December, the Arizona Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission (G.II.T.E.M. – pronounced Git-em) and the Coconino, Yavapai and Mohave County Sheriffs and the Kingman, Flagstaff, Lake Havasu and Bullhead City Police carried out a series of dramatic raids and arrested seven men for felony riot for allegedly being in Lazy Harry's Sunshine Saloon at the time of the fight.
Yesterday's Shooting
News reports are characterizing yesterday's shooting as part of an "ongoing power struggle in northwestern Arizona between the Vagos and Hells Angels."
Kim Stam, manager of a bar in Chino Valley, told the ABC affiliate in Phoenix that the shooting was "between members of the Hells Angels and Vagos motorcycle clubs" and that members "of each club live right around the corner from each other."
"This has been coming for a long time," Stam said. "They want this to be their town, one of them."
An unnamed woman who lives near the shooting told the Prescott Daily Courier that she "saw two men on motorcycles, although one of them did not seem to know how to ride, traveling on Yuma. Moments later, she said she witnessed a black SUV driving backwards after the bikers.
"Once the struggling rider was able to get his bike going, she said he then stopped because he saw his buddies drive by in a white four-door Chevy truck."
According to the witness, the struggling rider said, "Somebody just stole my bike. Give me a gun."
The woman told the Courier she later heard four gunshots.

(CNN) -- The Arkansas medical examiner has ruled the death of a man shot while handcuffed in the back of a police car as a suicide, the state crime lab announced Monday.
Chavis Carter, 21, died July 29 while in the back of a Jonesboro, Arkansas, police car. The police report from that night shows officers detained Carter after learning there was a warrant for his arrest in Mississippi and searched him twice before leaving him handcuffed in the backseat of a patrol car.
"At the time of discharge, the muzzle of the gun was placed against the right temporal scalp," the crime lab's report states.
Police said they discovered a .380-caliber Cobra semi-automatic pistol when the found Carter's body slumped over.
Many people in Jonesboro were skeptical about the shooting, as was Carter's mother.
"I think they killed him," Theresa Carter told CNN on Wednesday. "I mean, my son wasn't suicidal."
She also said her son was left-handed and had called his girlfriend to tell her he would contact her from jail.
She wondered how police could find a bag of marijuana and not find a gun when they searched her son.
There have been several protests in Jonesboro by citizens who don't believe the police explanation.
Police have released a video in which an officer dramatizes how someone could shoot themselves while in the back of a police car. The officer was the same height and build as Carter, police said.
They also have released the interview room video of a witness who said police were standing outside the car when a shot was fired.
The autopsy also showed that Chavis Carter tested positive for marijuana, amphetamines (including meth) and benzodiazepines, classified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as depressants.
Jonesboro police said the investigation into Carter's death is ongoing.

It shows how completely genre TV has appropriated the concept of DNA identification that one would immediately associate Invisible—artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg's product-provocation designed to protect "against new forms of biological surveillance"—with murder scene clean-up. Invisible comprises two bottles of spray: Erase and Replace. The former deletes 99.5% of DNA residue; the latter is "a solution of customized amplified DNA" designed to "obfuscate the remaining .5%." Together they could certainly be used to "spoof" the site of a crime, but Invisible's stated purpose is firmly focused on the quotidian-dystopic, a new SF sub-genre attempting to describe the daily grind of the immediate future.
The product's launch video incorporates visual strategies from apocalyptic films (scene-setting turbulent news footage) and tropes from sci-fi viral-thrillers (surveillance camera footage, a color palette of washed out blues on black). The marketing copy argues that only "You should be in control of how you share your information." Dewey-Hagborg positions Invisible as a necessary tool in an emergent world where the logic of data-mining extends away from the keyboard, right down to your genome.

Campbell Newman commits $5m for flood works in Emerald
THE Central Highlands Regional Council has secured $5 million for flood mitigation works at the Nogoa River Rail Bridge under the State Government's Royalties for the Regions program.
Premier Campbell Newman this morning said the Nogoa River Rail Bridge Capacity Improvement and Upstream Levee Development was the first project in the state to receive funding under the program.
"The council put forward a very strong business case for this project," Mr Newman said.
"The floods in Emerald in recent years have underscored the urgent need for mitigation measures."
The CHRC will contribute $1.25m toward the project, which Premier Newman hailed as a win for the local community.
"In 2010, 1060 residences had water over their floors," Mr Newman said.
"The scope of the project works will include the installation of culverts, the excavation of a larger opening under the rail bridge to improve the flow of water underneath, and the construction of levees upstream to protect against flood waters.
"The measures we're announcing today will help protect Emerald against future flooding events such as those experienced in 2008 and 2010, which had a devastating impact on homes and businesses."
Mr Newman said discussions were ongoing with regards to financial commitments from the Commonwealth Government.

Adobe Systems is committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone, according to CEO Shantanu Narayen, even though Steve Jobs said last week that Flash isn't suitable for the iPhone
But Narayen isn't wavering. "Flash is synonymous with the Internet and, frankly, anybody who wants to browse the Web and experience the Web's glory really needs Flash support," he said during a conference call Tuesday with investors, according to a transcript at seekingalpha.com.
He is sure adding Flash support to the iPhone isn't a problem. "We've evaluated the SDK, we can now start to develop the Flash player ourselves and we think it benefits our joint customers," Narayen said.
But he was also diplomatic, saying twice that Adobe wants to work with Apple.
"We think it benefits our joint customers. So we want to work with Apple to bring that capability to the device," he said.
But Jobs also seems to be sure about his position. Last week, he was quoted saying Apple hadn't adopted Adobe's mobile version of its Flash program because of technical and performance concerns.
At the time, he suggested Adobe work on a new version of the player, according to The Wall Street Journal.
An Apple spokesman in Europe declined to comment about Adobe's plans.

One Perfect Christmas
Title is currently out of print.
Find it in a library or try Amazon, eBay, and other places that sell used copies. (Ballantine Books)
An enchanting festive enovella full of sizzling passion, breathtaking historical detail and sparkling wit. Perfect for fans of Sabrina Jeffries, Stephanie Laurens and Eloisa James.
Although he's never been prone to regret, the Honorable Lucas Cavanaugh cannot help but wish for a fresh start with Jane Merriweather. After being jilted by her fiance, Jane turns to her dear childhood friend, Lucas, for support — and unlocks the hidden emotion and smouldering desire simmering in the man's troubled heart. Frightened by his newfound feelings, Lucas flees to Scotland. But when the Christmas season brings them together again, one look at Jane is all that's needed to reignite his yearning for the woman he has so much history with. Now Lucas must convince Jane that his intentions are as pure as the falling snow — and turn a dreary December into a joyous Yuletide affair with sizzling celebrations.
Originally published in the 2012 Naughty & Nice anthology.
Chapter One
Dorking, Surrey
Southeast England
December 1813
Lord Lucas Cavanaugh stood on the steps of Castle Bascomb, a letter from his mother in one hand, a lead rope attached to a disgruntled donkey in the other. The beast of burden emitted a plaintive bray, his grizzled gray coat capturing the quickly falling snowflakes in soft, plush hair.
Behind Lucas, the walls of his family's estate soared upward to the expansive roofs. Snow sifted over the sand-colored stone and piled on the window embrasures, drifting in white piles at the corners where weathered towers jutted out from the main building.
Before him, the stable hand's figure grew steadily smaller as he crossed the drive and turned toward the stables, eaten up by the winter sky.
Lucas sighed, stepped down onto the compact gravel drive, and repeated the man's explanation out loud. "From Her Grace, my lord."
The donkey brayed a second time; his plaintive call seemed faintly foreboding and was perfectly timed. "Right you are, donkey. Anything to do with my mother is cause for concern."
Lucas squinted as he read the scarlet letters embroidered on the halter's black leather nose strap. "Reginald? Rather stuffy name for an ass, wouldn't you agree?"
As it seemed unlikely the donkey would reply, Lucas turned to the missive and broke the wax seal, unfolding the creamy foolscap to reveal his mother's grand, scrawling handwriting.
Lucas Nathaniel,
Reginald was discovered in the greenhouse, happily nibbling away on Cook's parsley and chives. Needless to say, Cook was not amused. The donkey must go. Please return him to Jane at once.
And Lucas, might I suggest you take full advantage of this opportunity to tell Jane you love her? As your dear father (God rest his soul) was so fond of saying, "There is no time quite like the present." Besides, your moping about the castle is casting a rather gloomy pallor upon the holidays, my dear.
With the greatest of affection,
Lucas hastily refolded the letter and shoved it into his vest pocket. Staring hard at the long leather strap in his hand, he wrestled with the dark, cold regret that had settled in his chest the moment he'd read Jane Merriweather's name.
And with good reason. He'd realized Jane was the love of his life some seven months past, then promptly escaped to the Hebrides, driven by wild panic and irrational fear.
Seven months, as it turned out, was not a sufficient number of hours, days, and weeks to recover from such cowardice. Nor, unfortunately, was it enough time to forget a woman. Especially not the woman.
Reginald brayed loudly and tossed his head, the lead bobbing and dancing about in the gathering snow that was swiftly covering the gravel drive beneath a light blanket of white.
There were days Lucas regretted telling his brother Matthew, the Duke of Bascomb, the entire, painful story. Because Matthew had confided in his wife, Matilda, who'd then felt it necessary to inform the dowager duchess.
This was one of those days.
Lucas reluctantly recalled last spring. Having just returned from a fishing trip to Scotland, Lucas had no more than settled in to the Bascombs' London townhome when word of Jane's broken engagement reached him. They'd spent the following week together, nearly inseparable as Lucas consoled his dear friend with leisurely strolls in Hyde Park, ices at Gunther's—anything and everything that London could offer to keep her mind from dwelling on Baron McKee's elopement to Gretna Greene with Lord Smelten's horse-faced daughter.
Their week together had been, in a word, revealing. Lucas could not recall a time when they'd had only each other to focus on, with no clamoring family or well-meaning friends to interfere.
Jane's infectious smile had suddenly sent twists of happiness spiraling in his heart. Fractured patterns of sunlight capturing the golden hue of her hair forced unexpected sighs from his lips. The quality of her voice as she spoke of life, of their home, of their triumphs and failures, soothed his senses and spoke to his soul.
Had Lucas really been so monumentally stupid for all those years? He loved Jane. There was a distinct possibility this had been true for some time. And he'd mucked up perfection in order to satisfy his wanderlust. He'd mentally kicked himself for such foolishness, then gone straightaway to confront Jane, only to find her in the most shocking condition.
Jane had been foxed. Thoroughly so.
Nothing could've surprised Lucas more, until she suddenly professed her love for him and begged him to stay the night. The candlelight had warmed the room with a low glow, the heavy intent in her sapphire blue eyes intoxicating. She'd fallen asleep against his shoulder before he could answer. He reluctantly released her into her maid's care, and then proceeded to walk the streets of London until the sun shone over Tower Bridge, acquainting himself with the idea that life, as he knew it, would never be the same again.
When he'd returned to Jane's townhome on the edge of Grosvenor Square, intent on telling her what he should have the night before, she'd gone. A letter explained that, while she was very thankful for his kindness, Jane did not wish to keep Lucas from the undoubtedly thrilling adventures he'd planned for the near future. He was not to follow her. She couldn't bear the embarrassment of facing him after the unfounded and silly pronouncements she'd made in her "rather unsteady state." But she would be well, she'd assured him. As she wished him to be.
Silly pronouncements?
Had he imagined her sincerity? There'd been no way to confirm or dispel the painful notion, other than chasing her down on the road to Surrey, which she'd specifically told him not to do.
Lucas was both a coward and a fool for not going after her.
Avoiding Jane for the next two weeks would be impossible. Besides, Lucas didn't want to. When it came right down to it, he'd missed her terribly these many months. "Did it have to be an ass? They've a large stable at Juniper Hall. Surely one of the draft horses could have appeared? Would have made for more of a proud entrance, wouldn't you agree?"
Clearly affronted at Lucas's insult, Reginald's ears lay flat against his head and his wiry tail swished back and forth at a menacing pace.

Effects of Aging on Reward-Motivated Memory - The speaker is Holly Bowen, PhD, Southern Methodist University.
The goal of cognitive psychology and neuroscience is to understand the mind and brain, and in practice this means studying specific components of cognition, such as attention, perception, learning, and memory. Often, though, these components are studied in isolation, and we risk missing the forest for the trees. The overarching theme of our research is that cognitive processes are inherently interactive, and that exploring their behavioral and neural interactions can be an especially effective way to understand how they work.
The Talk will be simulcast to the main campus in Erik Jonsson Academic Center JO 4.306.

Ultimately, they had no choice except for how they would perish: burn or leap to death.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory workers were trapped on March 25, 1911. HBO's excellent "Triangle: Remembering the Fire" marks the centennial with a 40-minute documentary Monday, March 21.
This tragedy, New York's worst workplace disaster until the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, was the catalyst for changing labor laws and establishing fire safety standards.
"There were no fire escapes," says Sheila Nevins, president of HBO Documentary Films and the movie's executive producer. "No one had sprinklers. It was all new. They always put a stop sign up after someone gets killed on the corner. We always learn too late, and we learn for the next generation."
Nevins is not only the force behind the film, but her grandmother's youngest sister, Celia Gitlin, was among the 146 who died in the fire. Most were immigrant women and teenage girls.
Nevins hadn't realized the familial connection until HBO's 2009 documentary, "Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags." Filmmakers Marc Levin and Daphne Pinkerson made both documentaries.
Though other victims' descendants are in the film, Nevins is not among them. In an interview, she talks about her great-aunt. Like so many who died that Saturday afternoon, Gitlin, 17, was a recent emigre. In the United States for six months, she spoke no English, and her death certificate states that she died of a broken skull; she jumped from the blazing building.
"It wasn't just so I must remember my family," Nevins says. "These women really changed history. Women had led the labor movement."
The movement was a reaction to overcrowded factories and no protections for workers. The Triangle factory was one of the first of its kind; it was in a new skyscraper on the edge of Washington Square Park. Before this, garment workers usually sewed from tenements on the Lower East Side.
This was a large, airy building, though workers were crammed into loft spaces. It was also significant because of what Triangle made 'd0 shirtwaists, blouses for women, freeing them from dresses.
The factory owners, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, were also immigrants. They made millions from this new fashion.
To make these millions, though, meant people worked very long days, six days a week, for very little money. Such conditions led to the general strike of 1909, when New York pretty much came to a halt, and police officers beat young female factory workers who dared protest.
To put their bravery in perspective, remember that women did not yet have the vote. Some factories were unionized after that strike, but not Triangle. Grinding work continued as always, until 4:10 p.m. on March 25.
"Investigators believe it was started by a discarded cigarette," Tovah Feldshuh narrates. "Highly flammable stacks of fabric and paper patterns caused the fire to spread quickly across the floor. The workers panicked and started running for the exits all at once. They had never had fire drills. There was no plan. Nobody knew what to do."
Soon the factory was engulfed. Stairways weren't wide enough, doors opened in instead of the safer out. The law did not require sprinklers.
Some people on the 10th floor scrambled to the roof, where a law professor and students from adjacent New York University (which has a building on the site of the Triangle factory) rescued some 70 people.
The fire department arrived just two minutes after the first alarm was sounded. Their ladders reached only to the sixth floor; the fire started on the eighth.
One of the day's heroes was Joseph Zito, an elevator operator, who continued to bring the lift to the fire as frantic workers pushed in.
"He was going into the fire to save those people that he knew would die if he wasn't able to get back up there," his great-great-grandson, Dennis Clancey, says in the film. "He saved over 100 people that day."
Eventually, workers threw themselves into the elevator shaft. Others leapt from windows.In 18 minutes, it was over.
Susan Harris' grandfather was factory co-owner Blanck, who died six years before she was born. Harris has clearly ruminated about the tragedy and is emotionally open during an interview. Her family did not talk about the fire.
"I imagine their reason was it was so incredibly painful," she says.
Harris has created art from shirtwaists onto which she embroidered the victims' names, which she is giving to the New York City Fire Museum."To me it is like a prayer flag," she says.
Though this fire is so integral to labor and New York history, Nevins and Harris acknowledge people must be reminded that awful work conditions persist.
"There needs to be some type of government protection, some oversight that will come in and inspect (factories)," Harris says, "and make sure that everything is very safe for them."

Starboard iSonic 2007
Because Antoine Albeau has just won the PWA Slalom Title on this board we thought we would bring it to your attention in case you missed its release earlier in the year. Ok, we appreciate that the likes of Antoine sailing on any half decent equipment will probably do alright, but the point is these guys won't compete on rubbish and because PWA rules only permit production boards in the Slalom discipline, there is no 'real world' downgrading going on here; the iSonic has to be the 'real deal'!
The iSonic 50 is their speed board. The iSonic 87 to 133 has been designed for slalom racing. The 145 & 155 are for light wind sailing and maximum speed upwind; think short and wide!

Munster 1-22 Connacht 0-15
Munster proved too strong for Anthony Cunningham's all-Galway Connacht side in Ennis, winning the M Donnelly Interprovincial Hurling title by a 1-22 to 0-15 margin.
Following a first half goal from Paudie O'Sullivan, fellow Corkman Patrick Horgan tallied up 0-9 for Liam Sheedy's men with Michael Walsh and Lar Corbett also shining.
Joe Canning and company were kept quiet and Munster ran riot in the second period, scoring eight points in-a-row to banish any chance of the cup heading west.
In the opening half Connacht created a gilt-edged goal chance within seconds as Niall Burke was released by Cyril Donnnellan but his shot was well saved by Cork goalkeeper Anthony Nash.
The westerners then got off the mark thanks to a Joe Canning free, before Munster took control for a spell and hit four unanswered points thanks to Shane Dowling, two frees from Patrick Horgan and Nash also pelting over a free from his own 65-metre line.
Connacht, who were forced to do without skipper Fergal Moore and Tony Og Regan due to a slight groin strain and flu respectively, began to find rhythm midway through the half.
Thus the visitors hit four points of their own without reply to take the lead, with Tadhg Haran slotting over following a neat ball from Niall Healy before Donnellan, a Canning free and Healy put them 0-5 to 0-4 in front.
With 20 minutes on the clock, Munster hit back again with Tipperary's Lar Corbett beginning to cause all sorts of problems at centre-forward. Dowling's double and another free from Horgan gave Sheedy's side the incentive.
At this stage Munster were rampant and as Connacht were struggling to keep them at bay Graeme Mulcahy played a fine diagonal ball to Paudie O'Sullivan, who made the angle tight for himself at the far post but still managed to find the top corner of the net.
Seconds later O'Sullivan then picked out Mulcahy who obliged with a fine point to make it 1-8 to 0-5 to the Munstermen.
Connacht kept up their fight by scoring three points in-a-row themselves, with Canning dispatching two frees and Niall Healy tapped over after Haran was denied by Nash's block when he shot goalwards.
But as the half drew to a close Munster again reaffirmed their six-point cushion as Pa Cronin's point was followed by two more Horgan frees. David Collins ensured Connacht had the final say of the half but they trailed 1-11 to 0-9 at the interval.
In the second period, Connacht fell further behind as Horgan, Mulcahy and Cronin pointed and the western province immediately replied with quick-fire scores from Canning and Healy.
However the visitors would wait a whopping 22 minutes for their next point, with Munster taking full advantage. They scored 0-8 without reply as Cronin, O'Sullivan and Mulcahy all raised white flags, adding to three more Horgan frees and the game was over.
Although their defence was without the aforementioned Regan and Moore, manager Anthony Cunningham will be concerned at their second half demise ahead of Galway's Allianz Hurling League clash with Clare at the same venue next weekend.
The celebrations of Munster's first Interpro success since 2007 were tame as only a few hundred witnessed the encounter, and questions still hang over the future of the Championships.

This course seeks to uncover and analyze strategies of difference in the pre-modern years of 1000-1550. Our modern categories of difference and conflict involve race, class and gender: what categories did medieval culture use to mark difference, and what can we learn from them? Starting in northern Europe with the warrior Beowulf's battle against Grendel the monster, moving to Spain and its geopolitics of Convivencia, continuing to the Middle East with the Crusades, and ending in the fantastic maps and travel writings and images of the kingdoms of India, Africa, and China we will study categories of ethnicity, dynastic loyalty, religion, and language, among others, as they constructed difference in medieval textual and visual culture. At stake in this class is a critical understanding of the historical construction of difference, and the lessons it can give us for understanding strategies of difference in our own culture.

Eurozone economy 'in dire straits'May 24, 2012: 10:40 AM ET
As if Europe needed more bad news, a report Thursday showed a big drop in manufacturing activity across the eurozone.
The Markit eurozone PMI composite output index, more commonly known as a survey of purchasing managers, fell to 45.9 in May, according to the preliminary reading. That's down from 46.7 in April and marks a nearly 3-year low.
Any reading below 50 is a sign the manufacturing sector is shrinking, and economists say the weaker-than-expected PMI figure bodes ill for second-quarter gross domestic product in the troubled currency zone.
GDP, the broadest measure of economic activity, was essentially unchanged in the first quarter, meaning the economy didn't grow at all. That was still considered a mildly positive outcome, since many forecasters had expected the economy to have tumbled into recession in the first quarter.
Thursday's report is a stark reminder that all is not well in the euro area, which is also grappling with a potentially devastating sovereign debt crisis.
"All in all, today's dismal PMI figures clearly indicate that the eurozone economy remains in dire straits," said Martin van Vliet, an economist at ING.

The Eagle Ford shale formation lies south of our headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, giving the U.S. Global investment team a firsthand, tacit perspective on the oil and gas industry's growing natural resources phenomenon. We've witnessed how the oil activity is boosting the local economy with solid-paying jobs, a healthy housing market and strong consumer sentiment, as oil giants such as Schlumberger and Halliburton take a bigger stake in the area.
After seven long decades of importing oil, the U.S. seems only a few years away from reversing the flow, largely from shale technology not only in Texas but several areas around the country. In 2005, the U.S. reported net imports of 13.5 million barrels per day, or almost two-thirds of its oil needs, according to Raymond James. By the end of 2012, net imports are projected to fall to 8.6 million barrels per day, which is about half of the country's current consumption.
By 2020, the estimated gap between supply and demand narrows considerably.
Production has been growing at such a steady pace in recent years that Credit Suisse says the U.S. should see the largest growth of crude oil than any other oil producing country by 2015. An anticipated growth capacity of nearly 4 million barrels per day in the U.S. is three times more than Iraq, and almost four times more than Brazil, Canada and Russia.
2012 might be the year that the world fully realises the significant contribution North America has made to the overall global oil supply, especially after the International Energy Agency (IEA) claimed that the U.S. would surpass Saudi Arabia as the largest oil producer around 2020.
The U.S. output expected by 2020 amounts to more than 10 per cent of what the IEA says will be the world's daily oil requirement of 96 million barrels per day by 2020. This compares to a consumption of 87.4 million barrels per day today. And, when you factor in the expected decline of about 10.5 million barrels per day from the mature fields around the world, North America's success in this area is significant to global supply.
In addition, new discoveries of oil have led to disappointing results. There was high hope that a small group of countries—Brazil, Russia, Iraq and Kazakhstan, or the BRIKs—would "redraw the world's oil map by boosting their production over the next two decades," says the Financial Times. However, the newspaper reported that Kashagan field in Kazakhstan, "the biggest oil discovery in nearly four decades," will finally begin pumping next year after several delays. Its anticipated flow is about 150,000 barrels per day, then rising to 350,000 barrels a day, but those figures are way below the maximum pumping target of 1.5 million barrels a day.
Yet century-old legislation may be the biggest obstacle to the U.S. becoming a card carrying member of OPEC. Around the time when Henry Ford was selling his Model T to millions of Americans, the government passed the Minerals Leasing Act of 1920, dictating that all U.S. crude exports must get approval from the government before proceeding. At the time, the country had net imports of about 300,000 barrels of oil a day.
Since the 1940s, the U.S. hasn't had to worry about what to do with excess barrels of oil. With the rising use of oil, the country increasingly consumed more of the commodity than it produced. However, over the years, certain types of exports have been allowed, including exports to Canada (not including the crude from the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which has other restrictions), exports from Alaska's Cook Inlet, re-exports of foreign origin crude, and exports made under international agreements, says Raymond James.
But other exports are only permitted on a case-by-case basis as they are more dependent on what the government believes is in the nation's best interest. Beyond what's written in the rule books, "there are political overtones to anything that entails presidential discretion," says Raymond James. The firm compares potential oil exports in the future to the experience of natural gas exports today, noting that "utility and manufacturing trade groups are actively lobbying against U.S. liquefied natural gas export permits because, of course, any such exports would incrementally raise domestic gas prices."
In the spirit of economic nationalism, Raymond James believes that "as applications for crude export permits become more common, we would anticipate opposition to emerge, which means that the newly reelected Obama administration will probably suffer political backlash if it signs off on increasing exports of U.S. crude."
The backlash that would result is likely because there is a common misperception between exporting crude and the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pumps, which is based on the Brent price of oil. "The irony here is that U.S. consumers pay a global price for gasoline, and exporting U.S. 'land-locked' light sweet crude would actually help push down the global price of gasoline," according to Raymond James.
"Keeping the 'land-locked' crude in the U.S. does nothing to help domestic consumers, but as we all know, politics and reality can be very different things," says the research firm.
If Washington prevents oil from leaving the country, the likely outcome is that barrels will begin stacking up in the Gulf Coast area. With the significant growth from areas such as the Bakken, Eagle Ford and the Niobrara Formation in Nebraska, Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimates that by 2017, refiners will likely be "saturated with light oil."
How do investors benefit in the near term? Look to U.S. oil refiners, especially those with mid-continent exposure such as HollyFrontier (HFC) and Phillips 66 (PSX), which stand to benefit from these rising trends in production. Refiners have two distinct advantages that help them bring in more profits. One is the fact that the price of WTI oil has been trading at a discount to Brent. In 2012, the spread between WTI and Brent averaged about $17 per barrel. Domestic refiners have access to less expensive crude and benefit from the price differentiation as its refined product is priced closer to Brent. The other big advantage for U.S. refiners is record low prices for natural gas, a commodity used in large quantities by refineries.
The Global Resources Fund (PSPFX) gives investors front seat access to this growth. In its diversified portfolio, there are multiple ways to benefit from the rising supply of oil in the U.S. See the funds' latest list of top 10 companies here.

Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne are not splitting up.
Bottom line, that's what Sharon revealed Tuesday on "The Talk" when she finally opened up about the rampant rumors that she and her husband of 30 years were possibly headed for divorce court.
"Everything that has been printed in the tabloids has been distorted," she said. "There's always a little seed of truth to everything that gets reported, but then it gets very distorted.
U.S. & World
VIDEO: Sharon fools everyone on "The Talk" with April Fools pregnancy announcement
"The only thing that's true was the Facebook posting that my husband did on his Facebook where he said he's been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year and a half...and that he has been in a very dark place. That's true. It's very true."
Ozzy wrote a week ago that he had been "drinking and taking drugs," but that he was 44 days' sober and not getting divorced.
And now we know that he and Sharon are on the same page about that.
PHOTO: Kelly Osbourne flaunts fab figure on cover of Shape
"Everybody knows he's been struggling with this his entire life and I never knew that he was using prescription drugs," Sharon admitted today. "I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn't realize to the extent. It's our business, we're dealing with it.
"We're not getting divorced. However, am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes, I am--I'm devastated right now."
"It's a disease that not only hurts the person that has the disease, but it hurts the family," she added. "It hurts people that love you and we're dealing with it. We've dealt with worse and we will deal with it and this too shall pass. Otherwise my husband will be taken to the hospital to get my foot removed from his ass."
We believe her--and we're betting Ozzy does, too.

Seven more performers, including entertainer of the year nominee George Strait, have been revealed for the CMA Awards on Nov. 6.
Strait will join Alan Jackson to pay tribute to the late George Jones. Strait leads the all-time list of CMA nominations with 82. Jackson trails just behind Strait, with 81. Jones, a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee in 1992, died in April.
In addition, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, Kacey Musgraves and co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will also perform during the show.
Previously-announced performers include entertainer of the year nominees Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift, as well as fellow CMA nominees Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban.
Church is nominated for male vocalist this year, as well as for musical event for his collaboration with Aldean and Bryan on "The Only Way I Know." Florida Georgia Line received nominations for new artist, vocal duo, single of the year for "Cruise" and vocal event for the updated version of "Cruise" with Nelly.
Musgraves will make her CMA Awards debut this year with six nominations — female vocalist, new artist, album (Same Trailer Different Park), single and song ("Merry Go 'Round" ), as well as another nod in the song category for co-writing Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart."
In addition to co-hosting, Underwood will compete in the categories of female vocalist, album (Blown Away) and music video ("Blown Away" ).
The CMA Awards will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on ABC. Tickets to the show are sold out.

The Epitome's A-side's an extra-minimal postpunk/No Wave shamble with a dubby groove that they composed out of a word-association game. The flipside, meanwhile, is a truly DIY-sounding mess of indie/Byrds strumming and Bolan/Took bongo-drum scrubbing. They made 200 45s, and pressed them on either red or black vinyl (possibly 100 each?). The B-side stamper had a scuff that played all the way through on both colors and even their testpressings, and none of the vinyl seems to've been all that good to begin with, so it's all pretty noisy. Thumbprint typeset a PS, but those never made it past the stage of rough photocopies trimmed down from 11x17"/A3 paper.
Their story goes something like this: The Epitome began in Norristown, PA in the late '80s and cut just this one, supremely homely 45 in 1992 before cleaning up their bedrooms and moving to Atlanta, where they remained active into the late '90s. Founder and primary songwriter David Speakman is now back in Pennsylvania performing under the moniker HAPPY good (www.happygoodband.com).
Disks are new but would play-grade VG+ at best. Your choice of red or black vinyl (please specify). The reproduction PS is as realistic I could make them - and comes on vintage paper.
