atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) - atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) is an antiviral medication in a group of HIV medicines called protease (PRO-tee-ayz) inhibitors. atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in your body.
atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) is used to treat HIV, which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) is not a cure for HIV or AIDS.
atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) (ATV) is an azapeptide HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1. atazanavir (VIRATAZ-R) binds to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. This inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in the formation of immature non-infectious viral particles. Protease inhibitors are almost always used in combination with at least two other anti-HIV drugs. Atazanivir is pharmacologically related but structurally different from other protease inhibitors and other currently available antiretrovirals.
Possible Uses of Virataz-R: Atazanavir is a combination of an HIV protease inhibitor and an inhibitor of medicine metabolism. The HIV protease inhibitor works by blocking the growth of HIV. The inhibitor of medicine metabolism works by boosting the action of other HIV medicines.
Norvir (ritonavir) is an antiviral medicine that prevents human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cells from multiplying in your body. Ritonavir is used to treat HIV, which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. Ritonavir may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before using Virataz-R: Some medical conditions may interact with atazanavir. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
You should not take Ritonavir if you are allergic to ritonavir. There are certain medicines that can cause life-threatening drug interactions with ritonavir, and should not be used at the same time. Your doctor may need to change your treatment plan if you use any of the following drugs:
· alfuzosin;
· cisapride;
· pimozide;
· St. John's wort;
· sildenafil (Revatio) when used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH);
· voriconazole;
· cholesterol-lowering medicine--lovastatin, simvastatin;
· ergot medicine--dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, ergonovine, methylergonovine;
· heart rhythm medicine--amiodarone, flecainide, propafenone, quinidine; or
· a sedative--oral midazolam or triazolam.
How to take Virataz-R: Use atazanavir as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions. An extra patient leaflet is available with atazanavir. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information. Take atazanavir by mouth with food. If you also take an H2 antagonist (eg, cimetidine) or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (eg, omeprazole), talk with your doctor about how to take it with atazanavir.
If you also take didanosine, take atazanavir at least 2 hours before or 1 hour after the didanosine. · If you also take an antacid, take atazanavir at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the antacid. Take atazanavir on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it. · Taking atazanavir at the same time each day will help you remember to take it. Continue to use atazanavir even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use atazanavir.
Take Ritonavir exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Ritonavir tablets must be taken with meals. Ritonavir capsules or liquid should be taken with food if possible. Do not crush, chew, or break a tablet. Swallow it whole. Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. Liquid Ritonavir can be mixed with chocolate milk or a nutrition drink such as Ensure. Drink the mixture within 1 hour after mixing.
If a child is using this medicine, tell your doctor if the child has any changes in weight or height. Ritonavir doses are based on body surface area in children. Use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. Your liver function may also need to be tested. HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor.
Precautions When Using Virataz-R: Tell your doctor or dentist that you take atazanavir before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery. Atazanavir interacts with many other medicines. The risk of atazanavir's side effects may be increased or atazanavir's effectiveness may be decreased. The risk of the other medicines' side effects may also be increased. This may include severe, life-threatening, or fatal side effects. Check with your doctor and pharmacist to make sure that it is safe for you to take atazanavir with all of your other medicines (prescription or OTC, natural products, vitamins).
Atazanavir is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients may still get illnesses and infections associated with HIV. Remain under the care of your doctor. · When your medicine supply is low, get more from your doctor or pharmacist as soon as you can. Do not stop taking atazanavir, even for a short period of time. If you do, the virus may grow resistant to the medicine and become harder to treat. Atazanavir does not stop the spread of HIV to others through blood or sexual contact. Do not have any kind of sex without protection (eg, latex or polyurethane condoms) if you have HIV infection. Do not share needles, injection supplies, or items like toothbrushes or razors. Talk with your health care provider about ways to prevent the spread of HIV to others.
Do NOT take more than the recommended dose, change your dose, or stop taking atazanavir without checking with your doctor. Changes in body fat (eg, an increased amount of fat in the upper back, neck, breast, and trunk; loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face) may occur in some patients taking atazanavir. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Discuss any concerns with your doctor. Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using atazanavir. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).
Atazanavir may improve immune system function. This may reveal hidden infections in some patients. Tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of an infection (eg, fever, sore throat, weakness, cough, shortness of breath) or any other unusual symptoms after you start atazanavir. Severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis) have happened. They can cause very bad health problems that may not go away, and sometimes death. Get medical help right away if you have signs like red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin (with or without fever); red or irritated eyes; or sores in your mouth, throat, nose, or eyes.
Serious kidney problems (eg, kidney failure) have happened in people taking atazanavir with another HIV medicine (tenofovir). Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Atazanavir may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away. Diabetes patients - Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine. Hemophilia patients - Some people with hemophilia have developed increased bleeding while taking protease inhibitors, such as atazanavir. Report all bleeding episodes to your doctor.
Lab tests may be performed while you use atazanavir. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments. Atazanavir should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 3 months old; a type of brain damage caused by high blood bilirubin levels (kernicterus) may occur.
PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using atazanavir while you are pregnant. If you take atazanavir during pregnancy, tell your doctor if your baby's skin or eyes turn yellow. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Mothers infected with HIV should not breast-feed. There is a risk of passing the HIV infection or atazanavir to the baby.
Ritonavir: Ritonavir capsules and oral liquid contain alcohol. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages while using this medicine, and do not take disulfiram (Antabuse) or you could have an alcohol reaction. Taking this medicine will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people. Do not have unprotected sex or share razors or toothbrushes. Talk with your doctor about safe ways to prevent HIV transmission during sex. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.
Side Effects of Virataz-R: All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Diarrhea; nausea.

Forgot to tell Gardai he had moved to Ardee
A 42 year-old unemployed man who was convicted for unlawful sexual intercourse "simply forgot to tell Gardai" that he moved to Ardee.
Owen Maughan with an address at Cuchullain House in the town was charged with failing to notify Gardai on September 13 last of changing address. He was living in Clare and Gardai were not aware of the defendant's location for a couple of weeks, Garda Inspector Paul Kiernan told the local district court.
The defendant was convicted of the offence and fined €400. Judge Dunne remarked that it was not a credible excuse that he forgot to notify the gardai.
Defence solicitor Paul Eaton said that he had conveyed the importance to the defendant of engaging with the Gardai.
Judge Dunne said he was sure he was well aware from when the original order was made.
Mr Eaton replied that it was 11 years since the original offence was in court. He understood the defendant didn't come to attention since then. He was living with his wife in rented accommodation.
A second summons against the defendant for failing to appear at the court previously was taken into account.

We know: The beginning of the work week sucks. But if you take a quick look at the calendar, you'll see we're off to a pretty good week of art events, sporting events, dance parties, and more. Here are our must-see events from now to the weekend . .
Monday, April 15: Craft Hack @ Gangplank Emulate as we might, we are not and will never be Martha Stewart-style domestic goddesses. Our attention to detail, ability to organize, and DIY spirit will never match that of the millionaire mogul. We need support in our attempts at craftiness, and, luckily, we aren't alone in the matter.
See also: - Three Calls for Phoenix Artists - Five Must-Attend Lectures in Phoenix This April
Enter Craft Hack, the co-working meetup where aspiring (and established) crafters can stitch, glue, and glitter in the supportive, creative confines of Gangplank HQ, 260 South Arizona Avenue in Chandler. Every third Monday, the event offers networking and demos. Bring your projects and a smidge of can-do spirit to the monthly craftathon. -- Becky Bartkowski
Tuesday, April 16: "Weather or Not: Art With Atmosphere" @ Arizona Museum For Youth Movies like The Day After Tomorrow, Twister, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs are a testament to mankind's obsession with extreme weather -- even if the details are a little exaggerated. But, really, who wouldn't want it to rain pizza? "Weather or Not: Art with Atmosphere" showcases the beauty and power of weather phenomena through workshops and an exhibit at Arizona Museum for Youth. Families are encouraged to create their own tornadoes and explore the glow-in-the-dark Weather Room, which recreates lightning storms with realistic light and sound effects. Children between two and five years old can register for classes about the art of making mud pies, painting with ice, and creating wall-mounted snowflakes. Price: $7 -- Melissa Fossum
Wednesday, April 17: Amy Stewart Signs The Drunken Botanist @ Changing Hands Bookstore If you're under the impression that botany's boring, perhaps author Amy Stewart's The Drunken Botanist ($19.95) will get you thinking (and drinking) differently. In it, the Fine Gardening editor dishes the down-low on trees, flowers, and fungi with the potential to make you feel very, very entertained.
It's not Stewart's first foray into documenting the history of backyard finds. She's uncovered wicked weeds and evil insects in her previous works - though neither sound quite as enticing as an examination of how and why agave becomes tequila and sugarcane creates rum, along with cocktail recipes and cultivation tips. Price: Free; book costs $19.95 -- Becky Bartkowski
Friday, April 19: Modern Phoenix Superlite Block Plant Tour @ Superlite Block Though recently she left Phoenix for Portland, Blooming Rock Development founder Taz Loomans hasn't written off this Valley entirely. Case in point: Loomans leads the Modern Phoenix Superlite Block Plant Tour on Friday, April 19.
Loomans will discuss the types of blocks Superlite manufactured (and continues to make), as well as how the blocks are incorporated into local architecture. Price: $40 -- Becky Bartkowski
Friday, April 19: Midnite Movie Mamacita Presents Ms. Behaving: Hooker's Revenge @ FilmBar To paraphrase some musty, old Klingon proverb we've heard once or twice, revenge is a dish best served cold. And in the 1973 Swedish sexploitation schlockfest Hooker's Revenge, it's served up at with a breakfast of buckshot via the one-eyed, shotgun-wielding female protagonist known as Frigga.

Kidnapped, raped, mutilated, and forced into a life of prostitution, this heroin-addicted heroine (portrayed by Christina Lindberg) spends the second half of the ultra-violent film, which was one of Quentin Tarantino's many influences when making Kill Bill, offing pervs and dispensing double-barreled retribution.
It's the sort of trashy cinematic throwback that's right up the alley of local film guru Andrea "The Midnite Movie Mamacita" Beesley, which is why she'll be showing the flick at FilmBar as a part of her Ms. Behaving series of bad girl movies. -- Benjamin Leatherman
Check out more things to do today (and everyday) in our Calendar section ...

August 4th was a great day for Shanna and David's wedding. Although it was a bit warm and humid, the rain stayed away and we had some great images to capture.
Toby, my second photographer, was on hand to capture multiple angles of the wedding experience.
The bride and groom had a sneaker thing going on. Here are Shanna's wedding shoes – color coordinated to the attendant's colors of course!
A lovely ceremony at Blessed Sacrament was followed by outdoor portraits in several locations.
The reception was at the Siebenbuerger club in Erie. A packed crowd was ready to rock and roll!
Wonderful wedding, guys! Thanks for letting us be part of your day!

18 year old assistant teacher and college student Megan is one of the more awkward girls we've had on the couch. It's adorable, really. Her face is next-door meh but then Jake gets her to strip and BAM! we get treated to one of the finest bodies this year. Amazing perky tits, great ass that looks like it was built by doing squats every day. Clearly more academic and education-driven than the usual menstruating couch troll, Megan knows cool stuff like sign language, but she doesn't know about giving proper head, or reverse cowgirl, or that porn castings aren't usually unpaid. That's great for Agent Jake who, after showing the increasingly weirded-out Megan the ropes while she is fretting about what her boyfriend might think if he ever found out (!), fucks her in her virgin ass and unloads his trademark massive cum load over her face, then sends her packing without a job or cash. Let's hope her boyfriend will think Megan was just sweating a little walking home from college today when he kisses those unusually salty lips tonight.

Last Saturday, on my weekend out of Sofia, I bought lots of homemade jam in Koprivshtitsa.
Why? Well, I don't have the time, the energy or the interest necessary to make my own jam. I am much happier buying it from little old women who've set-up a cardboard tables of jam.
Because what's better than homemade jam?
I got home four jars–two jars of strawberry, one blueberry and a jar of pumpkin and walnut. The strawberry and blueberry are pretty standard issue. Tiny berries, hand picked, beautiful color.
But the pumpkin and walnut jam, that's another story. I've never heard of such a thing. The jar was so pretty. The color is very orange and the walnuts are floating in a syrup and suspended between the pumpkin pieces.
The thing is I haven't tried the pumpkin-walnut jam yet.
I am kind of afraid. I know that's totally silly but it's so pretty. What if I don't like it?
The other issue that's floating around is that now that I have the jam at home I can't get the thought that it's a jar vegetable jam. Vegetable jam sounds a little too weird for words. Clearly, that's only because I've never tried it.
So, today's the day. I am going to try the pumpkin-walnut jam. The only thing I haven't decided yet is if I'll have it on a piece of toast or over yogurt. Thoughts?

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents the first novel in a dramatic new trilogy.
Margo, Kate and Laura were brought up like sisters amidst the peerless grandeur of Templeton House. But it was Margo whose dreams first took her far away . . .
Margo Sullivan had everything a young woman could ask for. But while growing up along the rocky cliffs of Monterey, she couldn't help but dream of bigger things. The daughter of the Templeton's stern Irish housekeeper, Margo had been treated like a member of the family. Deep down, she knew that money could not but the thing she craved most -- her mother's acceptance.
Maybe things would be different if she could be sweet like Laura -- or had Kate's shrewd head for business. But all Margo knew how to do was be Margo, and that meant doing things her own way -- no matter what the consequences . . .

Dance champion and part-time football player Donald Driver wanted to give a young fan a keepsake after his annual charity softball game on Sunday. So the Green Bay Packers wideout tossed his cleats and other items of clothing into the crowd.
|Donald Driver gave Stephen Wagner the star treatment. / Special to NFL.com (Special to NFL.com)
The only problem: An overzealous woman wrestled a cleat away from a young boy, and the moment was captured on video. Driver was able to set up a meeting with the boy, Stephen Wagner, on Monday.
âGreat to meet Stephen! We got him some new cleats, a jersey and baseball bat. Glad I could put a smile on his face!â Driver wrote on his Twitter account.
It's not like we needed any more proof, but Donald Driver is a pretty awesome guy. Well done. He even has sympathy for the woman who took Wagner's cleat.
"Let's remember the woman who grabbed the cleat from Stephen is human. We all make mistakes," Driver wrote. "Stephen is happy and that's what matters most!"
The story doesn't stop there. It became national news, because apparently we've solved all of our serious problems in this country. All of the attention caused the woman in question -- Robyn Ereth -- to release a statement to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
âI recognize that by saying Iâm deeply sorry, it may not be enough and sufficient to address the disappointment of this young man on Sunday," she wrote. "I am a huge fan of the Packers and the (Wisconsin) Timber Rattlers and just overreacted in the excitement of the moment. Therefore, I want to apologize for my actions, and I am trying to locate this fan to provide him the shoe and a person-to-person apology.â
Ereth has surely suffered enough at this point from all the negative attention. Just reading that statement is painful. Perhaps she can auction off the cleat for charity to wrap this story in a nice little bow.

The orchestral strains of the 300 soundtrack briefly confuse things, but the requisite Leonidas sound bite leads immediately into the muddled guitar skronk that doubles, apparently, as Satan's dinner bell. And forget vegetarian options, the only item on the menu is a "death grip holding you tight." But if James Magallanez's blood-gargling growl, or the song's rapid descent into misanthropic noise ruins your appetite, don't worry, Magallanez assures, "I'm not ready to watch you die." He's probably just waiting for the appetizers to arrive, though. Satan is a harsh maître d'.

text: Hello, We (me and my friend from the States) have the following problem. My friend wants to watch tv programs from Europe, which I stream to him. Because my upload is not too big (about 0.5 megabits) we used externremux script together with stream-device plugin for vdr to encode stream with h264 codec and after that stream it into internet. I have to say that my friend was impressed, quality was really nice. Now we want more :-) It is so inconvenient to use web-interface for switching channels, search EPG etc. And here is our question: is it possible to use vdr-stream plugin to stream from one VDR (server) to another VDR( client) h264 encoded stream in the same way as it is implemented in VDR-2-VDR with mpeg2? I mean with remote menu, epg searching, switching channels. Regards, Yarema

I ordered a couple collars off a website. I received both of them today. One was small for Rascal. The other was a large size for Moose.
Those two really know how to take a good photo together. I took the photos with my smartphone. It looks dark in my living room. It really isn't. My smart phones doesn't take good photos.
Moose looks out for Rascal. He looks out for too. I know if anyone would walk in my home that is not suppose to be here. He would try to protect me. It's the Chihuahua in him that makes him think he is bigger dog than he really is.
Moose was done taking photos. I was able to get one more of Rascal before he ran off too.

On a scale of one to two point zero, how are the UK's newspaper groups doing in terms of their adoption of Web 2.0 concepts, tools and approaches?
Ian Delaney, a UK journalist who blogs about Web 2.0 over at twopointouch.com, alerted me to a fine piece of analysis conducted by the BBC's Robin Hammon, who has looked into this topic in some detail.
Certain Big Media websites seem somewhat set in their ways, but over the past 18 months we have seen various forward-thinking initiatives launched from some of the biggest names in publishing.
Robin's chart suggests (click to expand) that there are three clear leaders, with The Guardian awarded top marks, closely followed by The Times, The Daily Mail and The Sun.
It would be interesting to expand the scope of this chart beyond tools / technologies, since in my view that is only half of what constitutes 'Web 2.0' (although the term itself can be open to interpretation).
'Web 2.0' is also about concepts / approaches, which would encompass things like aggregation, personalisation and relevancy. All of which are related to one of my long-standing issues with Big Media: rubbish advertising. That means intrusive formats and what appears to be an absence of targeting / contextual placement.
Sooner or later this too should change…

Reporter hits career jackpot, Daymond John sees $ in Miami
We knew him when: Miami native Tom Llamas is going global! The former WTVJ/NBC6 reporter was named weekend coanchor on World News Tonight, ABC News President James Goldston announced.
According to the letter Goldston sent out to network staffers: "In less than five months at ABC News, Tom has made a tremendous mark reporting from Dallas on the Ebola outbreak in the U.S., including a revealing interview with a nurse who treated Nina Pham at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. His coverage of the tragic death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland and the shooting deaths of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina showcased his impactful and compassionate style of reporting."
Llamas, a married father of one, will also play a pivotal role as the 2016 presidential election begins to heat up, joining a powerhouse political team led by Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.
The Belen Jesuit alum is proud of his heritage, he told The Huffington Post back in 2012:
"I'm Cuban American. My parents both fled Cuba. My mother in 1959 and my dad a few years later. I'm the son of political refugees. I think that's something people wouldn't expect," Llamas said. "It's crazy to think what my parents and really my grandparents did. They left a country where they had jobs and were successful and came here not speaking the language and had no money. To start from scratch is just amazing but they did it and put their kids through college."
Daymond John doesn't visit South Florida just for fun in the sun. The Shark Tank star sees dollar signs as per his Twitter account. Last week he posted: "Viva Miami, favorite business destination." The mogul will be back this summer to help judge the Miller Lite Tap the Future, a competition that lets entrepreneurs pitch for a chance to earn more than $200K to fund their dream, he said in an interview last week with On The Money Radio's Steve Pomeranz.
