|Two Beer Festivals in VT This Weekend
There are two beer festivals in northern Vermont this weekend and it would be easy for you to attend them both if you would like.
On Saturday, September 26, Siptemberfest is taking place at Mad River Glen on Route 17 near Waitsfield VT.
Some of Vermont's best known brewers will be there: Magic Hat, Long Trail, Rock Art, Trout River, Otter Creek, Wolavers. In addition to the "big guys," the festival will present an unusual opportunity to sample local beer from Lawson's Finest Liquids plus beers that are only available on the premises at The Alchemist Pub and Brewery, Bobcat Cafe, and American Flatbread.
The Skinny Pancake will be making their crepes on site and the Mad River Glen Pub will be serving food as well.
Mad River Glen will be running their single chair lift for fall foliage viewing. It's a great way to get close to the magnificent fall colors compared to looking at them through a windshield.
Just up the road in Stowe, Oktoberfest will have will have a parade, live music and dancing, vendor and craft booths This is a family friendly event put on by the Stowe Rotary club. For children there will be games, pumpkin and face painting, and a Jumping Fun Haus.
Oktoberfest runs both Saturday and Sunday at Jackson Arena on Park Street in Stowe.

Can we change, can we live without money?
Ancient civilisations achieved a great deal, when focusing their efforts upon whichever problem needed to be solved. Energy, water, food etc.
Where previous civilisations failed to meet the needs of their people we now have the opportunity to learn from them and with greater numbers than has ever been on this planet before.
However we have been distracted for generations.
Our efforts are focussed on acquiring, chasing, and losing money, while real issues such as providing fresh drinking water, food, and energy to all humanity are ignored by the majority of us.
The problem with money has become so complex and yet its source energy is greed, and we know this to be destructive in all forms of relationship.
Why would we continue to face the world's problems using the biggest source of distraction in humanity to get us there?
It is insanity to believe that we need "new world order" and world currency to solve these issues.
A thought:
Imagine everyone today who's role in human civilisation is to protect and serve money (bankers, accountants, so on and so on) where to be suddenly un-employed.
What figure would that be?
How many working hours would there be available for other more productive tasks in society?
Imagine there is no money. What do we need? How much of it do we need?
Can we meet our needs as a civilisation with the quantities we require vs the amount of time and human energy we have?
Can we stand as ONE to achieve this?
There are more questions, there are more problems, change is coming one way or another, and time is running out.
Oct 15 2012: We see everything around us in terms of property. The more we own, the more we are. "I own therefore I am". We place almost no value on virtues like integrity, empathy, open mindedness, discipline, reliability, etc. Sadly, in this world of us, humans are disposable, property is not. Money however is only necessary as a means to transact property. You can't grow or acquire your inner values by means of money. If we learn to value those things over property, money will become obsolete. Until then the answer is no, we cannot live without money.
Oct 15 2012: " We see everything around us in terms of property. The more we own, the more we are."
you see things that way?
Oct 16 2012: I personally don't but we as a society do. "We", the society is not necessarily all of us, it is the majority, in this case an overwhelming majority. Me and a few others that think differently must conform to this majority and compromise a great deal of what we believe because the paradigm shift is so great that otherwise we would be squashed out of existence. What we can do is small steps, which I do, talk to people, find other like me or similar believes and when we will be many than we can take ever greater steps. And if we are successful, maybe not me but generations down the road, the majority will adopt the model and the world changes. I really cannot know which is the correct way to go, but what I know is that what it is today is wrong.
Oct 16 2012: you see, this sounds much more honest. you are a victim of other people's greed, you say. that a valid position, though i think not true. i don't think majority of people would focus too much on material wealth. mostly they don't focus on anything. but to some degree many focuses on nonmaterial things among materials. i'm not convinces we are out of balance in that regard.Oct 16 2012: I am not a victim, I am sorry you sensed that in my reply. I am actually doing ok, in this materialist world. That does not stop me from seeing that things are not alright.
You say people are not focusing on material wealth? Everything is about material wealth. People work, cheat, steal, even kill for it. And I am talking literally not figuratively.
On my last trip to Budapest, I happened to sit on the tram exactly where the ticket puncher was positioned. A person climbed on the next stop and positioned himself closely to the puncher. I found him to be uncomfortably close to me so I couldn't help but look at his actions. From the way he was holding a ticket in his hand that he was not going to punch it, unless the controllers climbed aboard. This would not be so interesting to this topic, but then his phone rang and he picked out a brand new iPhone from his pocket. Even if I give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say that the poor guy is hitching a free ride because he cannot afford to pay for it, I have to place him in the "poor bastard" category who will spend his last dime to pay for an expensive gadget so that he could present himself as having more than he actually has.
This guy is not alone, the vast majority of people are like that. I am sorry but I have to radically contradict you: their heads might be empty, as in they don't focus on anything, but they sure focus on at least on thing: having more and being able to show it.
Oct 16 2012: Stefan the points you made here ctually worth for is it.
But can you say something from the name of society?
Can you say we but not be part of it?
I think, the ideas your are presenting here is coming from your experiences and and people you see around you. I do think you should say people or perssonally instead of we.
Best wishes,
AndreyOct 16 2012: did i say people don't focus on material wealth? i said they don't do that too much. we don't want to live in a world in which material things don't count at all. i personally don't want, at least. i do want computers, cellphones, medicine, fast travel, heating, proper clothing, space exploration, science museums, bridges and the list is endless.
as you probably aware, i'm kind of well informed about the situation in budapest. so i can also inform you that it is much more a cultural issue than material. the same people are very happy to pay one euro for a farting app for their iphone, approx the same sum as a ticket. not buying a ticket is basically a form of defiance, a personal revolution against the powers that be. so in fact it is a nonmaterial thing, and you should be proud of it.
but if people are so much material, how do you explain the success of kiva, for example?

Oct 10 2012: Our planet is more then rich enough in resources to provide high quality housing, food, health services and access to technology to everyone on the planet
- +2
But our current financial system encourages the exact opposite en pits people against each other in a race for money. Which is strange because unlike actual resources money is something we can endlessly produce since money is nothing more then some numbers in a banks computer system and yet we always seem to have to little of it.
So why are we fighting for something that doesn't even exist is beyond me. In my opinion our goal as humanity as a whole should be technological advancement, not money.
It sickens me to my stomach to see good and intelligent people work insane hours a day often at multiple jobs just to get even at the end of the month. People working in factories putting together devices or plucking fruits it's 2012 god sake's! Didn't we invent machines to do just that sort of work for us?
People should either do work that advances our technology, do sports, arts or nothing at all. There is no sane reason why anyone should be forced to do work that can be done by a machine.
Our minds are one of the most complex and amazing things on this planet and I think its an insult to our species to enslave them like we do now.
Oct 10 2012: Love this comment!Oct 10 2012: Good day Robert,
I 100% agree

Sep 24 2012: In short, yes. We can live without a monetary system. But only if we declare all of Earths resources as the common heritage of all mankind and put science and technology in the forefront of societal decisions. Only then will we be able to feed, clothe and shelter everyone on this planet and make a quality of life beyond ever imagined.

Are you familiar with the book "The Best That Money Can't Buy" by Jacque Fresco? If not, I highly recommend it and hopefully the book will answer a lot of your questions. Happy reading!
Robert Nieto
Oct 10 2012: I fully agree with you Mats.
- +1
This may not have been possible 50 or more years ago but we are now at a point that our technology has advanced enough to provide us with anything we need for everyone on this planet.
But the only way we are going to get there is if we (the people) put a stop to it. Because the people in charge of the monetary system have no reason to change they already live in a world without any shortages.
I wonder how long we will sit around and suffer just so that a selected few can live the life everyone is entitled to.
Oct 10 2012: You know Robert, it's really up to us, who are aware of such technological possibilities, to raise the awareness of people. Our future is dependent on what we do today.
Steve C
Oct 20 2012: Can we stand as ONE to achieve this?
- +1
No, but we can stand as 7 billion and achieve it.
Many sorely lack inner strength, and so depend on the value proffered by others.
Mitt was right when he said that 40 or 70 or 100% of people were hopeless & dependent on the government. But we've been bought, brought and taught that way. Few believe there is a way out.
If you believe that work that needs to be done can be done without money, then do the work you think needs done and I'd say, "do it for your own 'reasons'," (no "logic" necessary); don't barter it for acceptance & poilitacal maneuvering.Oct 12 2012: Eliminating money won't stop people being greedy and competative. Given a free supply of all our needs we will overindulge in everything. Few humans are content with sufficiency. There are plenty of criminals who don't need the money. Just because you have a government issued car doesn't mean you won't want another one if you can get it.
Oct 12 2012: "Eliminating money won't stop people being greedy and competative. Given a free supply of all our needs we will overindulge in everything. Few humans are content with sufficiency."
To really answer that we need to define where greed and competitiveness comes from. Behaviorists believe all values, behaviors and actions stem from our environment coupled with epigenetic behavior, where certain genes turns either on or off determined by the environment you inhabit, and therefore in an abundant society, where money doesn't exist, behaviors such as greed and competitiveness would not occur because there would be no basis for those behaviors.
Robert Sapolsky did an experiment on this issue with a group of chimpanzees in which he discovered that the one chimpanzee, originally raised in a scarce environment, that he put in an abundant environment with a group of peaceful and sharing chimpanzees, wore off his greedy and competitive behavior in around 6 months. The chimp eventually realized that these behaviors wasn't necessary, in an abundant environment, and became as peaceful and sharing as the other chimpanzees.
"There are plenty of criminals who don't need the money."
James Gilligan who is an American psychiatrist and author, best known for his series of books entitled Violence, where he draws on 25 years of work in the American prison system to describe the motivation and causes behind violent behavior, has said that at least 90% of all criminal acts or violence are motivated by money and that the rest has either been extremely abused as children or have brain damage.
Oct 12 2012: Greed and competitiveness come from the desire to pass on your genes at the expense of everyone around you. Now that we have money the richest wins. before we had money the biggest guy beat all the others into submission and took all their stuff. ie greedy, he wanted all the females not just enough females to pass on his genes. Most male animals will actually kill the offspring of subordinate males. (especially chimps) that sounds like greed and competitiveness to me. It's what drives evolution.
Oct 12 2012: "pass on your genes at the expense of everyone around you."
What does that even mean?Oct 12 2012: Oddly enough, I've heard of animals - monkeys, squids, - where smaller, gentler, and kinder males are far more successful in passing on their genes than the alpha-males. They are busy mating while the "alphas" are busy with their power struggles. Being bigger and stronger or richer does not ensure passing the genes on. If this were true, our society would be full of rich and successful people. We have quite the opposite.Oct 14 2012: A new study published last month in Nature Journal suggests that humans are naturally good. This study adds to the mounting evidence against the popular misconception that corruption is a trait of human nature. In ten experiments using economic games, scientists observed that faster decisions result in more cooperation and generosity, while slower, calculated decisions show a decrease in cooperation and generosity. The conclusion is that the automatic reaction is to be friendly, generous and cooperative, and only upon further consideration do humans become greedy or violent. The study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22996558
The first time this issue was brought up in the mainstream scientific community was in 1986 when scientists from around the world got together to discuss the psychological and biological evidence proving that human nature is no excuse for violent behavior. The findings that were released came to be known as "The Seville Statement". This statement made 5 propositions, which are:
1. "It is scientifically incorrect to say that we have inherited a tendency to make war from our animal ancestors."
2. "It is scientifically incorrect to say that war or any other violent behavior is genetically programmed into our human nature."
3. "It is scientifically incorrect to say that in the course of human evolution there has been a selection for aggressive behavior more than for other kinds of behavior."
4. "It is scientifically incorrect to say that humans have a 'violent brain'."
5. "It is scientifically incorrect to say that war is caused by 'instinct' or any single motivation."
Since the Seville statement there have been many more studies reconfirming the propositions put forward. Just this past February a new study by a biologist named Frans de Waal showed that animals are naturally prone to cooperation when in the right circumstances.Oct 14 2012: pass on your genes at the expense of everyone around you."
What does that even mean?
Its called "Natural Selection" one of the most effective strategies used in nature to ensure my genes are passed on is to do everything I can to stop other Males passing on theirs. Whether that involves stopping them from mating or killing any offspring produced or just keeping a very close eye on your harem the outcome is the same. The alpha male tries to corner the market.
And Arkady The only compelling example of the effect you describe that I am aware of occurs in certain species of African cichlids where there is a successful underclass of small males but it is an extremely rare technique so you would assume a not very good technique generally speaking.Oct 10 2012: We need to change our values. We are addicted to materialism and consumerism. Addicts can change. It is difficult; but not impossible.
Oct 15 2012: The question then becomes, how do we change our own and peoples values?

Oct 15 2012: I try as much as possible to focus on the things that really matter in life; I value change and embrace it. Maybe someday you will know more about me and know that I do practice what I preach.
Oct 15 2012: then stop referring to "we". be honest, and say, most people or you. it sounds a little different, isn't it? "you need to change your values". sounds like preaching.Oct 10 2012: The Venus Project - check it out.Sep 28 2012: ..... listen this song return to innocence of .... feeding "we are not canibals to kill other humans in hidden ways to feed ourselfs" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rALVgdoMHk&feature=youtube_gdata_playerSep 28 2012: Read my post about my idea to have an almost ideal way of making business. I can not rewrite here everything i posted. Thank you and wait you to get friends and gather for discuss and put in practice the idea of goods and service exchange like in old times.Sep 24 2012: I think we assume a lot about money. We seem to target money when the human mind-set causes all of these problems.
If we continue projecting our problems onto objects....we will just run out of objects to blame.
Money is currency. Without money humans would attempt to find other forms of currency as they have throughout history.
I don't think it's enough to just look at the problem. We have to break it down.
1) Business ethics
2) Integrity
3) Realistic views
4) Budgeting
The list goes on and on. We cannot sit around and blame money...as money has no real value.
We place a value on (x) as (x) has no inert value. If we take the value of (x) away (x) still exists as a "function to be filled'.
We must still meet (x) and not cause other factors to be impacted.
Sep 24 2012: What you fail to realize, however, is that the profit motive, which is inherent in the monetary system, is the root cause to behaviors such as greed, the desire for power and every other negative aspect of the financial world which causes human suffering. Environment shapes human behavior.
Let's make an example on my claims. If it rained gold for thirty days, people would take whatever gold they could get, fill their house, drawers and cabinets with it, throwing out their clothes and accessorizes. Now, if it rained gold everyday, people would throw out the gold from their house and just leave it on the ground, because there is an abundance of it and it would only be burdensome to have it in their house.
So as you see, peoples values undergo change when the environment changes and human behavior is therefor shaped by environment, not the other way around. And as we agree that it is the profit motive that is causing all the destructive behavior we see daily the question then becomes, what do we replace the current socioeconomic system with? It seems that collaboration, sharing of resources and arriving at decisions instead of making them is a good start.
Sep 26 2012: No the human mind is greedy... naturally... and money has just proven it. Sex drive, and the desire for security, are the root of our greed, and they aren't going anywhere. Nowhere in the world does gold rain from the sky... It is earned by hard labor.
"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither" Benjamin Franklin
Sep 26 2012: "No the human mind is greedy... naturally... and money has just proven it."
Human greed, lust for power and ownership evolves in a scarcity society. If you live in the South Pacific islands, you wouldn't steel coconuts because there is so many of them.

Mats K
Oct 10 2012: You missed my point. If you apply my train of thought to everything, creating abundance, you will not have stealing, because there would be no reason to do that. There would also be no reason to sell or own anything, because if there's abundance for all, who are you going to sell those coconuts to if everybody has access to them?

- +1
I believe we need a plan to steer the global population in the right direction.
Even though we have the internet as our medium we share it with them but they also have most of the other media under their control such as radio, tv and newspapers.
And sadly enough the majority of the western world still comes home from their slave job and sits down on their couch and turns on the tv to watch the news.
For us it requires an immense amount of effort to even convince one person while they are convincing people by the millions and those people don't even realize it.
I'm afraid the only way to get the masses to notice the destructive path humanity is on is by hitting them where it hurts and that is in their way of life.
For the majority all the world problems just seem far away and don't happen to them.
But that really makes for huge problem because such actions would one a terrorist in the eyes of the state.
Then again it does seem like the banks lost control over their system and its dragging them and the politicians down with them. But I'm not sure if we should wait for it to collapse with the fear they might just "fix" the system before people realize whats going on.Oct 10 2012: No you need money to exchange things unless you want to barter which would quickly become unwieldy.
One of the truths of a happy life is to stay out of debt.
The definition of economics is the study of scarce resources that have alternative uses. Think about that definition...
Oct 10 2012: "No you need money to exchange things unless you want to barter which would quickly become unwieldy."
In Samoa food is there for the taking. Coconuts and fruit grow without cultivation, fish are available in the nearby sea, little or no clothing is needed, and it doesn't take long to put up a thatched-roof hut from materials that grow on all sides. There is no money or barter. Since there is abundance of everything, they only take what they need. There is no reason for stealing or owning anything.
"One of the truths of a happy life is to stay out of debt."
Taxes are debts...
"The definition of economics is the study of scarce resources that have alternative uses."
And how does the monetary system take the biosphere and its resources into account? It doesn't. It looks at resources as externalities in the economic equation, which is nuts. Instead of counting money, we should be counting the balance of the Earth's resources on a scientific basis.
There is no evidence whatsoever to show that the monetary system seeks efficiency, balance or sustainability of natural resources, which we all are dependent on. Instead corporations depletes the resources in a rate that is soon at the point of no return, uses inefficient energy sources that pollutes the air and contaminates our drinking water, all this in order to keep the price up on the products they sell. And you call this an economy?
Oct 10 2012: Are you saying that people don't exchange with each other on Samoa?
As the resources become scarcer the price goes up which economizes on those resources. Currently oil is going up in price so alternatives become viable because of he higher price. As people say you must be a green company or I will not buy from you the scarce resources must be processed in a alternative manner or the company will have no customers.
Oct 10 2012: "Are you saying that people don't exchange with each other on Samoa?"
Yes, because there is no need for exchanging anything when there is abundance. Everybody has access to what they need. What exactly don't you understand by this statement?
"As the resources become scarcer the price goes up which economizes on those resources. Currently oil is going up in price so alternatives become viable because of he higher price. As people say you must be a green company or I will not buy from you the scarce resources must be processed in a alternative manner or the company will have no customers."
Resources only becomes scarce because companies and corporations make them scarce deliberately in order to keep the price up. This is the main incentive for any corporation that wants to maintain a competitive edge. Efficient use of resources is the enemy of the profit game and is therefore an unsustainable and utterly stupid way of allocating resources.Oct 10 2012: What I don't understand is that it would be one of the few places that does not use money. The other thing that I don't understand is that this website contradicts what you are saying:
The thing about making something scarce to keep the price up is that competition comes into the market with a lower price. In other words it doesn't work. Efficient use of resources is the name of the game in the free market.
You are going to come back with another of your delusions of which let me say in advance that I don't agree but do no have time for this.
Oct 10 2012: I am sorry you feel this way. And I am sorry you don't have the ability or capability to want to learn other concepts, which is quite ironic when you continuously comment on a site which explicitly explores such ideas for a better tomorrow. It's a shame that some people only come here to superimpose their values without any critical thought to as why they have them in the first place.Oct 12 2012: Mats Samoa is a very bad example. The Australian government supplies millions of dollars in aid to Samoa each year and more than half os the samoan population lives in either New Zealand or Australia so they can work and send money home.
$45.5 million this year in aid
Oct 12 2012: I was obviously talking about Samoa in a historical sense, before the industrialization happened globally. This was actually the case in Africa as well. Africa was never a poor continent, before it got industrialized and people had to start working for money to survive and receive slave wages in return. Land was just taken from the inhabitants in Africa and therefore they had to submit to labor in order to survive. The same could be said for Samoa.Oct 12 2012: Mats I hardly recognize you, until of course I read what you said, as your words are uniquely incredible.
Surely the Samoans retained enough coconut trees and fishing grounds in the cornucopia to get by?
John Smith
Oct 10 2012: "No you need money to exchange things"
- +2
You need something to use as a medium of exchange but it doesn't follow that you can repackage that medium of exchange into complex derivative products or that the people who have the most of it can sit back and let it multiply itself.Sep 24 2012: Money is a symbolic exchange for the barter system. What it has become now is a perversion of its purpose. The question of can we change is almost irrelevant I fear. I think the US economy will collapse in a manner that will leave us no choice BUT to change. However, having said that we will be faced with a decision on what that change will look like. I personally fear a Somalia type setting.
Are humans capable of surviving without money - of course! Are we likely to make that choice? I doubt it.Sep 24 2012: If there is no need to make more money, then it is logical to assume the things we need will become higher quality and more durable. We won't need to save money on creating with cheaper materials, and because they last they will rarely need replacing.
If we don't need to sell cheaper products because they don't last then how many more humans will be out of employment?
How many more working hours would there be available for other more productive tasks in society?
By doing this eventually we will be wasting less so there will be more material available for creation. If there is less waste in the world, how many more humans will be out of employment?
How many more working hours would there be available for other more productive tasks in society?
If there is no money and the things you need can be created it is logical to assume that less crimes will be committed. In light of this how much less authority would we need?

Detailed Description:
In this study, all patients will receive open-label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention) telaprevir in addition to Peg IFN-alfa and RBV for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and protocol permissible treatments for HIV. Chronic hepatitis C infection causes inflammation of the liver which can potentially cause long-term complications of the current liver disease (fibrosis or cirrhosis). Therefore it is important the patient is treated for this infection. Telaprevir is an experimental medication that has been tested for the treatment of hepatitis C infections in several previous studies in more than 2500 patients. Telaprevir is a member of a new class of drugs being developed for chronic hepatitis C: Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) agents. Unlike pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV), DAA agents act directly on the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication cycle. The aim of the telaprevir treatment is to eradicate the Hepatitis C virus out of the patient's body. This can be measured by testing the amount of a certain part of this Hepatitis C virus, called the Ribonucleic acid (RNA [HCV RNA]) in their blood. It is possible that the patient will not respond to the therapy and the levels of HCV RNA in their blood will not decrease or even increase. Based on these results it might be decided the patient will not benefit from treatment and he/she need to stop the telaprevir only or all medication for their hepatitis C infection. The doctor will keep them informed about the patient's reaction to the treatment and will take the necessary measurements as prescribed by the study protocol and routine medical practice. During the study the patient will simultaneously be treated with the therapy that the doctor would normally prescribe for treatment of their chronic hepatitis C infection: "ribavirin (RBV)" and "pegylated interferon alfa (PEG-INF-alfa)". Telaprevir is always administered in combination with RBV and PEG-IFN-alfa. In function of the patient's specific HIV status, the doctor has prescribed, or not, a specific treatment that the patient will continue to take during the study. This treatment could be: (a) efavirenz, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (b) efavirenz, abacavir, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (c) ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, TDF, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (d) ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, abacavir, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (e) raltegravir, TDF, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (f) raltegravir, abacavir, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine or (g) etravirine, TDF, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudin, (h) etravirine, abacavir, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (i) rilpivirine, TDF, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (j) rilpivirine, abacavir, plus either emtricitabine or lamivudine, (k) no treatment. In an interim analysis of a Phase 2a study, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1/HCV genotype 1 coinfected patients currently receiving HIV therapy who had telaprevir added to Peg IFN-alfa-2a and RBV regimen for treatment of their HCV genotype 1 infection had a higher HCV RNA response (undetectable HCV RNA) at Weeks 4 and 12 than those who received only the Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV regimen. These responses were sustained through Week 24, with 73.7% of patients who had telaprevir added to the Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV regimen and 54.5% of patients who received only the Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV regimen also achieving undetectable HCV RNA at Week 24. Patients with severe fibrosis or cirrhosis have a lower likelihood of sustained virologic response (SVR) and also have the greatest risk of liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and death. Administering telaprevir in this difficult to treat population may reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with HCV in patients with HIV/HCV genotype 1 coinfection. All patients eligible to enter the study will receive telaprevir (750 or 1,125 mg every 8 hours based on their Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) regimen) during the first 12 weeks of the study in combination with Peg IFN alfa/RBV. Patients will subsequently be treated with Peg-IFN-alfa/RBV for an additional 36 weeks. The total duration of Peg-IFN-alfa/RBV will be 48 weeks. HCV RNA levels should be measured at Weeks 4, 12, 24 and 48. All patients should have a posttreatment follow-up visit, including measurement of plasma HCV RNA levels, performed 24 weeks after the last administered dose of treatment. Note that in certain countries, an additional main objective of the study is to provide Early Access to telaprevir in this population.

Rudolph Giuliani (R-N.Y.) found his campaign voice last night in South Carolina -- and, predictably, it wasn't abortion or guns or gay marriage that got him back on track. When Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) treaded near his backyard, suggesting in a rambling answer that US foreign policy was to blame for 9/11, Giuliani interjected with an indignant, confrontational response that will be one of the few moments remembered from last night's second GOP presidential debate. One operative for a rival campaign said this morning that Giuliani "went yard on a gopher ball" by taking on Paul, but those homers count, too.
So his answers on abortion weren't quite crisp (Hillary lines are playing to the cheap seats in front of GOP crowds). Giuliani still got exactly what he needed last night, and that point was only hammered home by the schoolyard scuffling between former governor Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). (Anyone else catch Romney -- still the best stage presence among the 10 on stage -- clamoring for a 30 seconds to match Giuliani's line?)
To summarize Round Two: Great moment at a critical time for a reeling Giuliani; great sparring - but few solid sound bites -- between Romney and McCain; some fabulous lines from the second tier (instant classic: Mike Huckabee's quip about Congress spending more than "John Edwards at a beauty shop"); and lots of frustration among the crew that's competing with the margin of error (is this the moment for Jim Gilmore, Mr. "Rudy McRomney" himself?). And finally (thanks, Fox News, for opening it up a bit), the candidates named names.
"Winning" or "losing" a debate is about how you stack up compared to expectations. ABC News' Jake Tapper and David Chalian call it a good night for both Giuliani and McCain, who showed "sturdier performances than the first debate." They also note that, once again, President Bush was ignored, mentioned only once last night, by Paul. LINK
The New York Times' Adam Nagourney and Marc Santora saw key distinctions emerging from provocative questions about a terrorist attack. McCain defended his opposition to torture, but found little company, and Giuliani fell back on 9/11 (notice a theme?): "I don't want to see another 3,000 people dead in New York or any place else." Advantage: Rudy. LINK
Another story with legs -- Romney vs. McCain. Lines like this are too pat not to have been prepared in advance: "My fear is that McCain-Kennedy would do to immigration what McCain-Feingold has done to campaign finance and money in politics, and that's bad," Romney said. McCain, pitching himself as the true conservative, had a ready response: "I haven't changed my position in even-numbered years or have changed because of the different offices that I may be running for." Ouch. Politico's Jonathan Martin has the debate continuing in the spin room, with Romney's son, Tagg, saying his dad "makes some of the candidates who thought they were going to be the eventual nominee a little nervous." LINK
The early consensus among conservative commentators: The night belonged to Giuliani. Writes Fred Barnes on The Weekly Standard's Web site: "One thing, and one thing only, happened at the Republican presidential debate last night: Rudy Giuliani escaped the clutches of the abortion issue." LINK

Fans of biology, physics, and cheesy sci-fi and horror movies, take a look at "The Biology of B-Movie Monsters," an article by Dr. Michael C. LaBarbera, a professor in Organismal Biology & Anatomy at the University of Chicago. Dr. LaBarbera explains why the bones of the Fifty Foot Woman would collapse under her mass, why the Incredible Shrinking Man would have to eat his body weight daily to survive, and the Achilles heel of the giant ants in Them!
The professor also challenges the most commonly depicted posture of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and describes ET's secret weapon.

I have a Syncrowave 200 as shown below. There have been times when I've been stick welding various thicknesses on the bench and the bead I was laying would come up on a thinner area and I'd have to get up and turn down the amps.
So........ I thought it would be very nice to be able remotely lower the amps without stopping it the middle of a bead. Being a hobby welder and always thinking outside the box, I decided to reverse the the leads for DCEP and leave the machine in the tig mode and use the pedal.
This made it very interesting, since the HF start made it so I didn't have to strike the arc, and I was able to back off the pedal a little as things got a little to hot.
Question: Can you do harm to the machine doing this? You never know with these electronics. I decided to only do about a half a stick before I researched it more. It sure works nice.

Understanding and Meeting the Needs of Women with ADHD
by Kari Dossett, LCSW
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ADHD IS CAUSED BY NEUROBIOLOGICAL FACTORS. This brain-based disorder may manifest in generally recognized core symptoms including inattentiveness, distractibility, disorganization, impulsivity and hyper-motor activity or restlessness. Clinicians use specific diagnostic criteria to assess and diagnose ADHD. As we learn more about the disorder, there is growing recognition that different people manifest symptoms in different ways. Some individuals deal with greater levels of hyperactivity or restlessness, while others struggle more with severe, chronic disorganization.
What factors cause these differences? It is becoming more evident that the severity and types of symptoms may be based on numerous factors, including genetics, biology, or environmental insults. One area of increased interest is the study of how gender differences manifest in people with ADHD. As more research emerges, we are seeing some stark variances in symptoms exhibited by males with ADHD and females with ADHD.

Gallery: Henning Larsen Unveils Plans for LEED Platinum Nordea Bank Wit...
The winning design adds to Henning Larsen Architects' recent string of successful bids – the eminent Danish firm also won a competition to design a new theater and zoo entrance in Emmen. Their concept for the Nordea Bank, while visually very different, incorporates similar stylistic innovations and holistic sustainable design solutions. To ensure the energy efficiency of the new bank, HLA simulated energy consumption through studies of "volumes, materials, room heights, light and shadow, noise, wind and feasibility of indoor and outdoor spaces." Once solar cell systems are installed, the building will have an energy consumption of 18.8 kWh per meter squared per year.
Working with landscape architects SLA and with workspace design by Signal Architects, HLA have applied their holistic approach to the building's interaction with both those outside on the street, and the many workers who will fill the 40,000 sq meter structure. Organized as a "city — offering quiet, more intimate places as well as squares and streets full of life and activity," the bank's first stage of construction will consist of two buildings placed atop one single open-plan ground floor base. Office floors are placed on higher levels of the minimal structure so as to ensure the openness and walk-ability of the complex as workers navigate between buildings and greenery filled spaces. The exterior of the structure will feature a sloping park landscape across the south facade of the building. HLA's Design Director, Louis Becker explained "Nordea's new building interacts with the city, opens up and invites for activity at different levels. It will be a place in the City that offers activity inside as well as outside."
The upper level offices are similarly versatile. Comprised of open-plan offices and private meeting spaces, they provide a range of working spaces to allow individuals access to the environment which best suits their style and needs. Light-filled rooms are carefully shaded to ensure energy-efficiency while providing natural surroundings for the 1800-2200 employees of the financial institution who will work in the new facility. The jury for the invitational competition declared that Henning Larsen Architects' winning design "relates to the urban context and in all ways constitutes a beautifully designed and convincing office building. The proposal is innovative and challenges the surroundings and Nordea, but also to a certain degree represents a both recognisable and robust architecture." Work on the new Nordea Bank is scheduled to begin next year, with inauguration planned for 2016.

The first two major speeches of President Obama's second term have been widely viewed as exercises in exultation, victory laps for a hard-earned second act. They might also be viewed as the exaltation of one of Obama's closest advisers, Valerie Jarrett.
Other inner-circle advisers have moved into outer orbits of Obamaworld, but Jarrett remains the constant—influential for both personal and policy reasons. And, with electoral considerations a thing of the past for Obama, Jarrett appears poised for a second term where her proximity to the president manifests itself more powerfully.
Already, Obama has signaled that his approach to governing, emphasizing take-it-to-the-people outreach over attempted closed-door talks with Congress, has shifted, and in a direction squarely toward Jarrett's portfolio. A friend of the Obamas for more than 20 years, Jarrett has been entrusted as a top liaison to some of the constituencies most valuable to the administration: issue-by-issue interest groups on matters important to the base, to the business community, and to women. When Jarrett speaks, it's a good bet the president's own words won't be too discordant. She is credited with being a meticulous deputy, able to brook disagreement—but only to a point where it doesn't hobble the president.
If the White House is to rally various constituencies in the second term—and they will—they will likely fall under the operational bailiwick of Jarrett, whose formal title is assistant to the president for public engagement and intergovernmental affairs. Beyond the tactical, Obama, in both his Inaugural Address and the State of the Union, grasped for a concretely more progressive agenda, one aligned with Jarrett's political leanings. On gun control, immigration reform, minimum wage, and other issues, the second term is far more an expression of the progressive id.
The trumpet blast of liberalism comes at a point in the White House personnel cycle where a cast of pragmatic, politically minded advisers has departed, many of them white males: Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs, Jim Messina, William Daley, David Axelrod, David Plouffe. Jarrett, among others, remains and thrives.
"Her power's pretty consistent and steady because it's less about title and where you are in the org chart, and more about the president and his wife so clearly trusting her; and in an evolving shift of characters who come in and out from the campaign back to the White House, whatever, she's a pretty steady presence," said one lawyer who works closely with Jarrett's Office of Public Engagement, and described being "snipped at for not getting something exactly precise" while working with her. "What makes the situation so unusual and opaque is that the actual power is derived from the president and his wife actually trusting her, and they do it in a plenary fashion."
Jarrett and the first lady have a long-standing bond; she brought Michelle Obama into Chicago government. This week, Jarrett accompanied the first lady to Chicago for the funeral of a 15-year-old girl shot to death a little over a week after performing as a drum majorette at an inauguration event in Washington.
But as important as her relationships with the president and his wife are, Jarrett is also the liaison to the business community, which is not stocked with reflexive Obama allies.
It was business that battled Obama throughout his first term on health care expansion, Wall Street reforms, climate-change policies, and other issues. Jarrett herself told The Huffington Post that she found the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's resistance to Obama "somewhat old school."
But in the wake of Obama's reelection, amid the year-end negotiations over the fiscal cliff, business groups helped Democrats massage a revenue-raising deal into reality, including higher taxes on upper-income earners in those very same C-suites. "When it came around, and the business community was very symbiotic and engaged with the White House, and pushing back on the Republicans, you didn't see the other side of that story," said the lawyer who often collaborates with Jarrett's office, arguing that the administration did not receive ample credit for wooing business. "She pointed it out to me: sort of the dog that didn't bark."
Jarrett will argue her case before the president until the decision breaks the other way, then line up with the team, one White House official said. And, when her aims align with another adviser's before Obama, Jarrett will signal her encouragement. "It's pretty clear that she knows him really well, that she knows what he's thinking, what he's going to say, and what he's going to be annoyed by," said a lobbyist, on condition of anonymity, who has been in meetings with Jarrett and Obama together.
For various reasons, Obama has floundered in direct negotiations with Congress. When the administration makes headway with lawmakers, credit on the executive side frequently goes to Vice President Joe Biden. And Obama has had success when he turns the process inside out, enlisting public pressure on student-loan rates, the 2011 payroll-tax cut, and, this year, on gun control. Because of Jarrett's purview, and because of who she is in relation to the president, the expressly stated plan to continue that outside game will only expand her influence—if not inside a White House where she already wields significant clout, then at least in real-world application.
But there could be more to it than that. In the assertion of Obama's progressive identity, perhaps there lies Jarrett's own.

K 2013: DSM develops special grade of nylon for LED applications
11:56 AM MDT | October 16, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
DSM has developed a special grade of its high-performance nylon-4T, for one of the first-ever integrated plastic holders for a light-emitting diode (LED) array, the company announced today at the K 2013 plastics fair being held in Düsseldorf.

Branca Chair
by Mattiazzi
designed by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
Designer Sam Hecht says that his Mattiazzi Branca Chair was designed to meet all the expectations of a modern chair - to be comfortable, fit under a table, be light enough to carry, and be stackable. And to work anywhere - in a dining area, living room, family room, home office. The solid wood frame is available in matte black anilin ash, natural wax ash, and chocolate with natural ash seat.
The Branca Chair combines the best of robotic manufacturing and hand woodworking. The seat and back are carved from a single piece of wood, and the joints are seamless. Sam Hecht wanted the form of the chair to evoke the way tree branches turn, twist, meet, and branch off. Thus, its name: Branca (branch).
Branca Chair Features:

- Solid wood carpentry for a lightweight chair with grace and strength

Pamela Anderson may be an international sex symbol, but even she has insecurities! The blond beauty and former "Playboy" cover model opened up in a recent interview with BuzzFeed and revealed that despite her public image, she has never considered herself to be beautiful. She admitted, "I don't know if I ever really felt beautiful. I always feel like I don't -- I don't, really."
Pam, who listed Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren among her style icons, also revealed that people have been trying to tone down her over-the-top glamorous appearance ever since her days on "Baywatch." She said, "They were insisting that I didn't wear eyelashes, but I said, 'I have my look, this is what I'm comfortable in.'" She added, "Sometimes my eyelashes would roll up onto the beach, and that's all that would be left of me. But I was determined to be glamorous. Oh, I loved it, I LOVED it."
And when it came to her beauty motto, the bikini babe had a "go big or go home" attitude. She told BuzzFeed, "I thought, 'If you're going to be on TV, and if you're gonna be out and glamorous, the natural look can stay at home. If we're gonna do this, let's have fun with it!'"
But now that the former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant has reached her mid-40s, she is ready to tone down her sexy look. She explained, "I think it's time, though -- you know, you grow up and you change your look. I feel different from how I did in my "Playboy" days. Now, I think I'm in charge of toning down my look or not."
Check out the vid to see Pam's au naturel makeover!
