New Guidance on Clinical Trial Design in Developing Treatment for HIV InfectionNovember 1, 2002 A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued new guidance intended to assist sponsors in the clinical development of drugs for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Specifically, this guidance addresses the AgencyÕs current thinking regarding designs of clinical trials that use HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) measurements to support accelerated and traditional approvals of antiretroviral drug products. It is also intended to serve as a focus for continued discussions among the Division of Antiviral Drug Products (DAVDP), pharmaceutical sponsors, the academic community, and the public.
The draft version of this document, first posted in August 1999, was based on a DAVDP advisory committee meeting, convened in July 1997, to discuss the use of HIV RNA endpoints for traditional approval of antiretroviral drugs. This document has been updated to address public comments to the draft version and to include pertinent information from a DAVDP advisory committee meeting, convened in January 2001, to address issues relating to trial design in heavily treatment experienced HIV-infected patients. This guidance does not address specific phase-1 and phase-2 development issues, development of alternate dosing regimens, or the use of HIV-1 resistance testing. These issues will be addressed separately in future guidance documents. In addition to consulting guidance documents, sponsors are encouraged to contact the division to discuss specific issues that arise during the development of an antiretroviral drug product. In July 1997, the Agency convened an advisory committee meeting to consider the use of changes in HIV RNA levels as endpoints in clinical trials supporting traditional approval of antiretrovirals. To evaluate the feasibility of using HIV RNA levels as a study endpoint, a collaborative group of pharmaceutical, academic, and government scientists investigated relationships between treatment-induced changes in HIV RNA and clinical endpoints from ongoing and completed antiretroviral trials (Murray et al., 1999; Hill et al., 1998). In several analyses of more than 5000 patients in multiple trials, a clear association was identified between initial decreases in plasma HIV RNA levels and reduction in the risk of clinical progression and death. This relationship was observed across a range of patient characteristics including pretreatment CD4 counts and HIV RNA levels, prior drug experience, and treatment regimen. Based on these data, the Division of Antiviral Drug Products advisory committee concurred that treatment-induced decreases in HIV RNA levels were highly predictive of meaningful clinical benefit and that HIV RNA measurements could serve as endpoints in trials designed to support both accelerated and traditional approvals. The Division proposed that accelerated approvals could be based on studies that show a drugÕs contribution toward shorter-term reductions in HIV RNA (e.g., 24 weeks) while traditional approvals could be based on trials that show a drugÕs contribution toward durability of HIV RNA suppression (e.g., for at least 48 weeks). The committee agreed with this proposal and also recommended that changes in CD4 cell counts be consistent with observed HIV RNA changes when considering approval of an antiretroviral drug. The guidance document can be accessed here. A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! This article was provided by U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Restriction Mapping for PlasmidsI'm understanding the concept, the process, and the purpose. I'm not able to draw it out.
How do I do the circular mapping? Where do I start with the data.
Maybe there are not people all the time. We have to sleep ever too
I'm not sure, what's the problem. Just make a circle, put on two EcoRI and one Nco restriction places in correct orientation http://www.biolib.cz/en/main/
Cis or trans? That's what matters.

New Orleans, May 12 – When you meet Anna Porter, owner and developer of a Warm Beach, Wash., custom home dubbed "Going Green at the Beach," she doesn't strike you as the type who would allow just anyone into her home.
But that's just what she, along with husband Dave and Skipper the dog, did, admitting anyone and everyone into their home via the Web site GoingGreenattheBeach.com.
Turning the project into a virtual demonstration home (in addition to providing in-person site tours) allowed anyone interested in sustainability to witness, in real-time, the Porters' real-life quest to transform their 100-year-old beachfront home into a highly energy-efficient, environmentally friendly dwelling.
Anna Porter, who operates Porterworks, a Web site dedicated to providing support on sustainability issues, said the experience was a success, and she and her husband learned a lot about green from "putting ourselves out there." For example, one initial challenge the setup created was a stream of skeptics who peppered the couple with questions about the sustainable elements of the home; those questions, however, helped the Porters learn and create a dwelling that would better meet their goals.
The Going Green at the Beach home, which was built by Chaffey Homes and designed by GMS Architectural Group, offers a laundry list of features that boost energy efficiency; promote water conservation; utilize reusable resources,durablematerials, and natural landscaping; provide for healthy indoor air; and make efficient use of space (click here to see a full list of the home's green elements). Of all the green elements the home has to offer, Porter said she is most proud of its natural lighting and its low energy load, which is achieved through features such as a 1.2-kW photovoltaic system, a geothermal heat pump, a radiant floor heating system, spray-foam insulation and an air barrier, and Energy Star appliances, to name a few.
In the end, the project achieved certifications from the American Lung Association Healthy House; Seattle-area Built Green (Five Star rating); Energy Star; Environments for Living; LEED for Homes (Gold level); and the NAHB (Gold level).
The achievements culminated in the project being named Single-Family Custom Home of the Year during the Green Building Awards at the NAHB's National Green Building Conference.
The public can continue to monitor the home's energy use through the Web site, which Porter pledges will remain live and updated. After all, Going Green at the Beach has plenty of fans: As of January, more than 10,000 unique visitors had visited the Web site, joining more than 1,200 people who have toured the home in person.
Porter told EcoHome that one of the things that stood out during the building process was the number of people involved (a team of 19 vendors and consultants) and the education process required to master green building practices. "It is amazing to me that so much of green building is about awareness," she explained.
For the foreseeable future, it looks like the Porters will be doing their part to pass on that hard-earned knowledge to the masses.

Xbox hates retail, right?
Before last week's U-turn, Xbox One was going to destroy the pre-owned market, cripple retail's one profit-making area, and accelerate the move into digital. It was going to kill GAME and GameStop.
MCV has never bought into this argument.
For starters, Microsoft has a £429 console to sell, that no matter how hard you try, you just can't download.
Also, over the course of the last ten years, Microsoft has turned to the High Street to push every aspect of its business. From new dashboards to Xbox Live. In fact, Xbox has been more active than any of its rivals in pushing digital game sales via physical stores.
And last week Xbox proved its commitment to the physical world of shopping by teaming up with GAME to launch its own store.
"Retail continues to be of vital importance for the Xbox platform," said Microsoft's retail, sales and marketing director Jon Grimes (left).
"It's so important for consumers to be able to touch, feel and experience our new products – the console, the games and the entertainment content – prior to purchase.
"Our Xbox shop can provide consumers with great product information and advice, with well-trained and knowledgeable, informative staff – it'll be a key part of our Xbox One launch programme."
"Retail continues to be of vital importance for the Xbox Platform"
- Jon Grimes, Microsoft
Based in the trendy new Boxpark shopping area in Shoreditch, the Xbox store is more like a corridor than your typical expansive store. But it's sleek, features multiple play points and even talks about wider services such as Xbox Live, Xbox Music and Xbox Video. There's even an area for SmartGlass content shown using Surface tablets.
And this is what makes the Xbox store such an interesting concept, because the outlet is less about selling points cards and controllers, and more about playing with the products. It's the Apple-store concept that the games industry has been threatening to develop for years.
"The store is here to showcase the Xbox experience and capabilities," explained GAME's stores director David Howard (left).
"We will be promoting the services Xbox delivers and selling both physical and digital content and we want to give gamers the chance to get hands on with everything Xbox-related.
"This is a much more experiential store, focused on one brand and what that means to gamers.
"The rest of our store estate is dedicated to providing an impartial view of all content, delivering for the gamers of the UK."
"The Xbox store is here to showcase the Xbox experience and capabilities."
- Dave Howard, GAME
The idea fits in nicely with GAME's new strategy of creating a gaming community. Although selling new and used games remais at the heart of its business, GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs and his new team have developed a blossoming business based on discovert, not simply selling. Its lock-ins and midnight launches are now more about creating theatre and developing a fanbase than actually selling products.
And this Xbox store fits right into that, says Howard.
"Since forming GAME Retail Ltd we've looked at and implemented a lot of new ideas to benefit the gamers of the UK. In every case we've trialed our ideas and the successful ones have been adopted.
"Our strategy is to build the UK's most valuable community of gamers and bringing them specialised and unique offerings like this is a big part of that.
"It allows for even closer working with our partners, a more tailored in-store experience and a real focus on just one platform. This is about delivering something for gamers of the UK that no-one else can bring to them – an exclusive Xbox experience."
So are stores like the Boxpark Xbox shop the future of games retail?
Probably not this Christmas. The sheer number of games, not to mention two new consoles, coming to market over the next six months will mean the focus remains on shifting as many boxes as possible.
Although for platform holders preparing to launch new consoles, a place for gamers to go hands-on with the new technology will remain critical. The best way to get consumers to understand any interactive entertainment product is to, well, interact with it. And Microsoft plans to utilise this news shop to push Xbox One.
"Retail sales professionals are vital for the launch of any new console," said Grimes.
"Boxpark – alongside all GAME retail outlets – will be a key part of our retail strategy to bring the new console to market later this year."
Will we see more? A Nintendo or PlayStation shop perhaps? Quite possible. GAME is working on other store concepts right now, although they're not tied to individual brands. And as for more Xbox shops, Grimes stressed that this is "very much a trial, an experiment, we'll see how it works."
In the short term, the next few years ought to be good for retailers. New consoles generally cause an upturn in sales, and this Christmas promises to be a one of the biggest in quite some time.
But once this period has subsided, once we enter the tail end of the cycle again, it will be outlets like this Xbox store that will be key to retail's relevancy and survival in a hostile and digital market place.

Talk to your kids about…
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Even though Colonel Nicholson and Colonel Saito are military leaders from opposing sides, what traits do they have in common? How do their characters illustrate the effectiveness of using force or persuasion?
Can you identify some of the personal agendas of the various characters? How did perusing those motivations prevent them from seeing the situation as a whole? What techniques did the moviemakers use that allowed you to feel sympathy sometimes, and abhorrence at other times, for each of their causes?

Jamie Bissonnette Debuts His Own Beer
We already know we love his cooking at South End hits Coppa and Toro (which just spawned a NYC sibling). But what about his brewing? Chef Jamie Bissonette has launched his own beer, reports Boston.com. Named PureBiss, it is described as an "unconventional witbier featuring spruce tips, grapefruit zest, and kaffir lime leaves." You can grab $13 bottles at both his restaurants; otherwise, it's only on tap (so far) at Sonny's Tavern in Dover, New Hampshire. Somehow, we have a feeling that could soon change.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
The Division of Allergic Diseases evaluates and treats patients who have wheezing, cough, shortness of breath (bronchial asthma), hives and itching, sneezing, stuffy nose and itchy eyes (allergic and nonallergic rhinitis), and sinusitis.
The physicians also evaluate and treat patients with recurrent infections and possible immunodeficiencies (primary immunodeficiencies) and patients with anaphylaxis and swelling of the skin (angioedema). Physicians administer allergy vaccine immunotherapy (allergy shots) as well as vaccinations for infectious diseases (such as flu shots).
For patients who have been evaluated at the Allergy Division of the Mayo Clinic and live away from Rochester, allergy vaccines prepared by our laboratory can be mailed to and administered by the patients' physicians in their home areas. The Division also serves as a regional center for measurement of pollen and mold counts during March through October.
An examination usually begins with a comprehensive history and physical examination. This will include reviewing of outside information provided by the patient.
Testing is individualized and may include allergy skin testing, pulmonary function tests, methacholine bronchial challenge tests, and endoscope exams of the nose and upper airway. Testing under the direction of an allergist is done in the Allergy Division to maximize convenience, resources and the patient's time.
Other testing and consultation may include allergy blood tests (RAST), measurement of blood counts and total IgE. Chest X-ray and high resolution CT scan of the lungs and sinuses may be required to detect abnormalities or diseases that could be causing or aggravating breathing problems. If a consultation with other specialists is needed, they are easily obtainable and available in the same building where the Allergy Division is located.
After testing and consultations, the Mayo Clinic Allergy specialist will compile the information and offer the diagnosis and treatment plan, answer any questions and arrange follow-up.
An allergy specialist may recommend immunotherapy (more recently named allergy vaccination) to control specific allergy-producing substances called allergens. The goal is to decrease the allergic or asthmatic symptoms by making the patient less allergic. Most people benefit from this therapy, although some do not.
Allergy injections are administered under a physician's supervision either at Mayo Clinic in Rochester or at a local medical clinic or hospital. They are given as part of the allergy treatment, usually in conjunction with allergy-avoidance measures and medications.
While a patient is receiving treatment with allergy extracts, Mayo Clinic allergists require re-evaluation at one- to two-year intervals or sooner as needed.

Trojan Ball Closure Ring
- Product Review (submitted on December 29, 2012):
- This ring has become my favorite piece for my PA. My 0ga SS quickly becomes too heavy, but the Trojan is lightweight enough for daily wear. I get to enjoy the heft of a 0ga without the massive weight. The rubber ball is easy to change and quite secure. I've worn this ring for about 2 years now and the ball has held up well against the stresses of both urine & ejaculate. I highly recommend.

Memorial Sloan Kettering doctors are experienced in caring for patients with other plasma cell diseases related to multiple myeloma. These include systemic amyloidoses — a group of rare and sometimes serious disorders — as well as less severe conditions such as solitary plasmacytoma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).
Learn more about these multiple myeloma-related blood diseases.
- Systemic Amyloidoses
In this group of related diseases, a substance called amyloid builds up in tissues throughout the body, interfering with organ function and eventually causing affected organs to fail.
- Solitary Plasmacytoma
In solitary plasmacytoma, which is similar to multiple myeloma, the disease is restricted to a single area of the body — usually a bone, but sometimes an organ.
- Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance
MGUS, a condition that leads to moderately elevated levels of immunoglobulin protein in the blood, has no symptoms but is precancerous, and in rare instances may progress to multiple myeloma.

In the UK, the Ministry of Justice is making it easier for social enterprises to bid in consortia for government contracts
Launched in 2010, the Social Enterprise Mark is an EU trademark awarded to identify companies with a strong social element in their income and spending. In the UK, the National Offenders Management Service (NOMS), together with ESF co-financing (CFO), is launching a EUR 330 million contract to provide support to 110 000 offenders – and NOMS is targeting a large participation by social enterprises active in this field. However, few have gained the Social Enterprise Mark yet. So, to redress the balance, NOMS has started a 'NOMS CFO Social Enterprise Programme' which recognises the actual contribution by social enterprises to the large consortia bidding for contracts. The aim is to ensure they can participate in contracts and at the same time move towards obtaining the Social Enterprise Mark.

Best 5 Thanksgiving Dinner Food
Planning to host a Thanksgiving day dinner but confused about the menu? Fret not for there I have enlisted the 5 best dinner ideas for the big day...
Butternut Squash and Tomato Bisque – Starting a Thanksgiving dinner with the soup is always a great idea and so, I welcomed this delicious creamy bisque in my top 5 list. The best part is that you can even make this soup several days in advance and freeze. For this recipe, a butternut squash is halved, baked till tender and pureed. Then, in a Dutch oven, onion is sautéed in butter and oil. After that, fresh tomatoes are pureed in a blender with honey or maple syrup and mixed with the pureed squash, sautéed onion, chicken broth and salt. This creamy bisque is then simmered in the Dutch oven and served garnished with chopped tomatoes.
Luscious Deviled Eggs – Deviled eggs make for a great appetizer, especially in a Holiday feast. For this recipe, the eggs are boiled, peeled and halved, removing the yolks. The yolks are pressed with a fork in another bowl and mixed with Miracle Whip, parsley flakes, basil, mustard, salt and pepper. Then, this mixture is spooned back into the egg white halves and served garnished with a pair of pomegranate seeds on each egg slice.
Main Course
Orange Glazed Turkey Breast – This flavorful turkey meat is great for a meaty sandwich treat or otherwise. The turkey breast in this recipe is rubbed with vegetable oil, salt and pepper and roasted on a rack placed inside a roasting pan. Then, the roasted meat is basted with a glaze made by boiling together minced garlic, butter, orange juice concentrate, sweet orange marmalade, brown sugar, soy sauce and minced ginger. Finally, this glazed breast is allowed to stand for few minutes before carving.
Side Dish
Cranberry Orange Relish – For this delicious treat, the cranberries are finely chopped or grinded, the orange is deseeded and both the fruit pulps are mixed with the addition of sugar. The relish is then refrigerated for a couple of days for ripening and served as fruit compote alongside a meat dish.
Pumpkin Cake – For this cake, a flour mixture is made with flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and combined with another mixture prepared by beating sugar, oil, vanilla and pumpkin puree. This batter is then baked for a delicious, sweet pumpkin cake.

Willis: "I have been to several schools where the players didn't really interact with you. They kind of act like you are just a recruit and 'we will get to know him once he gets here.' Loston and I got along very well and from what I have seen, it is just one big happy family. You can really tell how genuine the program is when players come back to work out at the facilities. They give money back and everything and really give back to the program."
Willis: "I can't say any team is in the lead right now, and it's not a two team race like some reporters have written. I am still open to Florida State and Nebraska, as well as LSU and my other teams. FSU is up there. The new defensive coordinator is the old defensive (backs coach) from Alabama under Coach (Nick) Saban. They have put players in the league. Nebraska and Arizona State and it is really a 5 or 6 team race right now. That is why I am unsure really."
What was it like when you arrived at LSU? Walker: "After arriving in Baton Rouge on Friday afternoon, we were met by Justin Vincent a former running back, and coach at LSU
i am so behind. never knew JV was on staff (Asst. AD of player personnel).
it is just one big happy family
One thing I think Les does better than any other college coach is give parents a sense of comfort. He really knows how to showcase that family atmosphere.
Lets just pray that distance doesn't convince him to stay out west
Toshirio Davis disagrees...
I think we made up plenty of ground this past weekend. He heard all of the chatter about how great LSU was and the whole DBU thing prior to coming...I think getting him on campus and bonding with the players increased our chances tremendously...I feel good about where we are at the moment

Renfrewshire, Scotland : Classification : Adoption Records
Records of UK adoptions are available from the early twentieth century,
when legal adoption was introduced.
Adoptions prior to this time were done privately however, and records are likely to be hard to find.
Note that only the adoptee can apply for his or her original birth records, so if
you're interested in learning about family history, it may not be possible to

Mini Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon, softened
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Lemon Glaze
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 mini muffin tins (each with 12 (1 3/4-inch) wells) with 1 tablespoon softened butter and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together cake flour, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
- In a medium bowl, combine the egg and sugar and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and beat in the yogurt, remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, zest and vanilla until well incorporated, about 30 seconds. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry just until moistened and being careful not to over-mix. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each halfway.
- Bake until the muffins are set and golden brown and a tester comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a toothpick to poke several holes in the top of each muffin. Brush each muffin generously with the lemon glaze. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the tin and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Synopsis
- Pearl Harbor . . . Midway . . . Guadalcanal . . . The Marianas . . . Leyte Gulf . . . Iwo Jima . . . Okinawa. These are just seven of the twenty battles that the USS Enterprise took part in during World War II. No other American ship came close to matching her record. Enterprise is the epic, heroic story of this legendary aircraft carrier--nicknamed "the fightingest ship" in the U.S. Navy--and of the men who fought and died on her. America's most decorated warship, Enterprise was constantly engaged against the Japanese Empire from December 1941 until May 1945. Her career was eventful, vital, and short. She was commissioned in 1938, and her bombers sank a submarine just three days after the Pearl Harbor attack, claiming the first seagoing Japanese vessel lost in the war. It was the auspicious beginning of an odyssey that Tillman captures brilliantly, from escorting sister carrier Hornet as it launched the Doolittle Raiders against Tokyo in 1942, to playing leading roles in the pivotal battles of Midway and Guadalcanal, to undergoing the shattering nightmare of kamikaze strikes just three months before the end of the war. Barrett Tillman has been called "the man who owns naval aviation history." He's mined official records and oral histories as well as his own interviews with the last surviving veterans who served on Enterprise to give us not only a stunning portrait of the ship's unique contribution to winning the Pacific war, but also unforgettable portraits of the men who flew from her deck and worked behind the scenes to make success possible. Enterprise is credited with sinking or wrecking 71 Japanese ships and destroying 911 enemy aircraft. She sank two of the four Japanese carriers lost at Midway and contributed to sinking the third. Additionally, 41 men who served in Enterprise had ships named after them. As with Whirlwind, Tillman's book on the air war against Japan, Enterprise focuses on the lower ranks--the men who did the actual fighting. He puts us in the shoes of the teenage sailors and their captains and executive officers who ran the ship day-to-day. He puts us in the cockpits of dive bombers and other planes as they careen off Enterprise's flight deck to attack enemy ships and defend her against Japanese attackers. We witness their numerous triumphs and many tragedies along the way. However, Tillman does not neglect the top brass--he takes us into the ward rooms and headquarters where larger-than-life flag officers such as Chester Nimitz and William Halsey set the broad strategy for each campaign. But the main character in the book is the ship itself. "The Big E" was at once a warship and a human institution, vitally unique to her time and place. In this last-minute grab at a quickly fading history, Barrett Tillman preserves the Enterprise story even as her fliers and sailors are departing the scene.

Left my phone on the powermat(charger) all night and when i checked it, the phone had turned off and the LED light was flashing repeately 4 times and then a short break. I cannot connect my blackberry to a laptop via a USB as my only way of charging it is through the wireless powermat. I have tried taking the battery out and leaving it on charge again, however nothing is working. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Unfortunately, the proper recovery steps I know of require a known good wall charger...but maybe you will be lucky and can substitute either of the methods you have into the below. You will likely want to increase the time you wait at each stage...perhaps doubling each...
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

A better retail sales number led to a higher opening on Tuesday. And stronger-than-expected earnings from Home Depot (NYSE:HD) added to the optimism. But the market didn't sustain the higher prices, as Europe's woes put a halt to the early rally and stocks sagged from noon to the closing bell.
At Tuesday close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 3 points to 13,172, the S&P 500 was even at 1,404, and the Nasdaq fell 6 points to 3,017. The NYSE traded 565 million shares and the Nasdaq crossed 382 million. On the Big Board, breadth was only slightly negative, but on the Nasdaq, decliners were ahead of advancers by 1.7-to-1.
Like yesterday's chart of the S&P 500, the Dow industrials appear to be forming a triple-top. Seven trading days have topped at just over 13,200, while volume and breadth continue to shrink. On Tuesday, the stochastic issued a short-term sell signal, which could break the Dow to its 20-day moving average and a temporary bottom at 13,000.
And while the industrials struggle with a triple-top, the Dow Jones Transportation Average continues its sideways, non-confirmation mode.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) popped from its March low on Tuesday, and its stochastic flashed a positive signal — a negative for stocks. It's a bit early to make decisions based on just one reversal of the VIX, but if a pattern of reversals from under 14 develops for a week or more, the indication would be bearish.
Conclusion: Some technicians say that you should never sell into a boring market. If that's true, then what or who will kick the bull out of its slumber?
Perhaps the Europeans are working on a plan to bring together a viable financial union. If so, the triple-top will break to the upside.
But I think I'll continue to wait for a resolution to the crisis and not bet my 401(k) on a strong political/financial relationship between the north and south of the European continent. There have been too many cans kicked down the road from Berlin to Rome, and it appears that there is an unlimited supply of them.

- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 4 eggs

Wasn't the bail bailout Bushy's baby? I thought all the Republican rank and file lined up to give billions to bankers so they could split up bonuses to themselves.
Wasn't the bail bailout Bushy's baby? I thought all the Republican rank and file lined up to give billions to bankers so they could split up bonuses to themselves.
Almost correct, all but one of the Repubs did line up to handout the bailouts, except for one House member. One of the few with any scruples. Obama's payoff was to the UAW and other unions via the stimulus.
And, the crooks are walking free, living in the lap of luxury and donating money to their favorite PAC.

Ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt since you are in the banking industry..point Sambo
BUT IMO opinion the truth is somewhere between your stance and Franco's....both of you are on complete polar opposites of the bank bailout issue
Franco is right about letting some businesses fail, in a free market that should have happened, but I don't think the entire banking system would have folded...but some people got VERY rich off the bank bailout...point Franco
I do agree with your statement that it was not politics, it was a MAJOR ____up
Sambo, although I completely disagree with you on this topic, I will give you credit to sticking to your guns. The hard core Repeblicans on the board have selective memory when it comes to remembering what their guys did only a few years ago. No one wants to talk about the billions their guys gave away, only the billions the other guy gave away, everyone wants to talk about what a how moronic Obama's health care mandate was and not how moronic Romney's health care mandate was.
Your reading comprehension must be awful but I'll give a try to helping you out anyway. Search these boards and you will find that we have said MANY times that Bush's bailout was just as bad for this country as Obama's was. Your next point is comparing apples and oranges but I suspect you know that. You might not know that many on this board have complained about the Romney health care. What you and others are missing is that his was a state run program that affected only his state and he has said that he would never implement that on a national scale. Good enough for me. States rights are still in play for now no matter how much you and Obama supporters hate it.
Why is it when you guys disagree with something said by the right you instantly jump to saying, "Well you guys did it to" and then add that us on the right supported that? It's incorrect, but again I think you guys know that...
The Republicans had taken a hard line stance that Nationalized health care was evil and the individual mandate was unconstitutional, that is the only reason he said he would never implement it. I don't believe that any reasonable person could believe that Romney thought the mandate was a fantastic idea on a State level and a aweful idea on a National level it was a pure flip-flop simple as that.
I was on the board of directors of a regional bank that at the time of the banking crisis. At that time we had 600 plus million dollars in assets. We were never at risk of failure. In '06 I believe it was, our CEO told us a double dip recession was coming. He spent some time on the board of one of the Federal Reserve banks. I have to believe plenty of people knew what was coming. Has anyone watched the news report I referenced?

Spektre weaves an intrepid, complex web amongst underground
dance music's elite. The techno brainchild of DJs/producers Filthy
Rich and Paul Maddox, the dark duo was formed through a shared
passion for driving electronic music and a mutual desire to push
sound boundaries using the most cutting edge technology available.
The fusion of their combined experience in the studio allows them to
construct dark, sinister sounds mixed with twisted, haunting vocals
and unnerving, atmospheric foundations.
Always innovative, their sinful sound draws inspiration from early
looping detroit techno from the likes of Joey Beltram and R&S
releases, combined with an amalgamation of much more recent
production masterminds such as Dubfire, Martin Buttrich,
Trentemoller and Stephan Bodzin. High rulers in the underground
scene, their live shows feature rave-inspired, melodic, razor-sharp
beats and their menacing releases hold the key to packing out hot,
sweaty, dance floors every weekend.
Spektre's web is a permanent fixture nestling snugly in the corner of
the studio. As producers they more often than not hover comfortably
in Beatport's top 10 listings, with their tracks being released on
prestigious labels such as Respekt, Great Stuff, 1605, Blufin, Gate
Null Recordings, Phobiq, 303Lovers and GU, plus remixes on Craft
and Spectrum amongst a whole host of others.
In addition, their tracks have featured on Renaissance and Umek
compilations and their 'Live At Glade Festival' album was released
via VeryVeryVeryWrongIndeed in 2009.
Spektre's production is supported by some of techno's biggest
pioneers including Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and

I was going to switch to rear disc but you can run the drums that are there already. All brake lines are ran and brand new. I just havent hooked them up. I am asking 13,000 obo <<<<----------it says best offer will take trades <<<-------------------it says trade but no junk and I dont want your off road rig. If I want off road I will finish my build. I have over 5000 into the jeep since Feb. I know what a jeep like this is worth so dont try to beat me up on price. If you dont know what the value is of something like this then please do some home work.. cash is what I am looking for or maybe a nice clean stock jeep.

Running and driving... needs buttoned up. Wheel flares are on... new wheels and tires. Full exhaust and much much more... I will take trade on nice truck ... must be nice not off road. Nice Harley but no sportster. I really want to go back to a stock jeep with 33s. No rusty offers fellas... my jeep isn't rusty. I'm tired of this thing and it needs to go. Anyone interested can text me and I will send updated pictures. I want 10k to get it out of my hair.... trade value needs to be more. I have way more than what I'm asking into it so don't try to talk me down or I will ignore you and park the jeep in the woods and let it rot. I don't care... its money spent and I'm not even getting half what I spent back if it sells.

Pledge: What It's Like To Have No Father
broke my heart to see a dear little girl holding a poster, wishing
for a dad figure to visit her. A girl or a boy, Valentine's Day or
not, there are times when a lonely little soul just longs to be with
that father figure: somebody strong, somebody who will take away all
pain and hurt, or simply to make the day complete.
so I'm donating the sales of Sydney's
Valentine's Day for a dad to visit this dear darling daughter. Come
watch my trailer
and at the bottom of this there is a link to a FREE chapter, which
shows an example of how it is like to have no father. I hope you will
enjoy this excerpt and contribute towards my fundraising.
fever runs high in the Australian summer of 1999 and 17-year-old
Sydney has caught it. Little does she know taking a holiday job in
the beehive that is the Olympics' public-transport call centre will
be life altering. Shaken by her parents' divorce, the sheltered
Aussie is further plagued by abusive callers, obnoxious government
agencies, constrictive office rules, and liberated friends. She is
trying to negotiate these challenges as her own personal Olympics
when Pete finds her. Pete, Boston's former child prodigy whose
soothing voice floats across her workstation, sees through Sydney's
tough outer shell. Pete knows what it takes to present a dignified
front when all you want to do is howl at the moon. Treating their
friendship like an art, he invests time and creative effort to pull
Sydney out of her despair.
strike when an accident leaves Pete with a major brain injury in a
Boston hospital. Their families think Sydney is too young to cope
with all the complications, but she doesn't agree. After all that he
has done for her, Sydney refuses to leave Pete with people who view
him only as an endless chore. Deferring her university studies, alone
in a foreign land facing new trials, Sydney stays at his side—even
when he doesn't recognise her.
in Sydney and Boston where heartbreaks are juxtaposed humour,
SYDNEY'S SONG is a young girl's courageous journey to adulthood and a
love story. A work of fiction based on real events, this novel with
an Australian accent also shows the world that living with
disabilities does not prevent a person from attaining happiness.
I felt compelled to write Sydney's Song
old fans from another language tracked me down, asking me to write
again, so believe I have something entertaining to give to the world.
first half is a socio-fiction, humorous and tragic, about the lives
of my former co-workers. This part shows a group of Irish, British
and American backpackers in Australia, and a serious case of modern
second half is my husband's true condition. Again, tragically
humorous. This part deals with brain injury and shows the world how,
even when a person loses everything that he used to be, living with
disabilities does not prevent a person from attaining happiness.
drama, humorous fiction, socio fiction, romantic fiction,
coming-of-age, this is a book that will entertain people in many
countries, from the international youths who have made Australia
their must-visit-before-you-die country to older readers who want
something different in their bookshelves. This book has been praised
for its dual settings of Australia and USA and its cast of
international characters, complete with their accents.
a socio-fiction Sydney's Song calls for dialogue and tolerance on
difficult topics pertaining to today's society in Australia and
western countries, but it's never heavy handed. Light and airy,
Sydney's Song has won the admission of people who do not agree with
Sydney's views, that the story is greatly enjoyable and the
characters are thoroughly developed.
and funny, Sydney's Song is a must read for senior students before
leaving high school; and for lovers worldwide, who will sure pause
and rethink their relationships.
illustrated, the paperback is a beautiful-looking delightful story, a
heart-warming and heart-winning gift for every occasion.
for Sydney's Song

these reviewers are on http://sydneyssong.net/reviews.htm.

An immediate bestseller when it was first published in December 1843, A Christmas Carol has endured ever since as a perennial Yuletide favorite. Charles Dickens's beloved tale about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who comes to know the meaning of kindness, charity, and goodwill through a haunting Christmas Eve encounter with four ghosts, is a heartwarming celebration of the spirit of Christmas.
This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition also includes two other popular Christmas stories by Dickens: The Chimes, in which a man, persuaded by hypocritical cant that the poor deserve their misery, is shown what his pessimistic resignation might lead to in a vision conjured by the pealing of bells, and The Haunted Man, Dickens's last Christmas tale, which features one of his great comic families, the Tetterbys.

Burke stop "silencing ads mentioning abortion" after NBC allegedly refused to run ads for Obvious Child because the film's trailer mentions the word "abortion." As of now, the petition has nearly 10,000 signatures.From the petition:AdvertisementAdvertisementReports allege that NBC is refusing to allow the word "abortion" on air. It's been more than 40 years since abortion was legalized – it's about time television caught up. If you agree, add your name to our letter to NBC now.Here's the scoop: NBC reportedly refused to run an ad for the romantic comedy Obvious Child because the ad included the word "abortion," with sources saying that they found the "subject matter was inappropriate for viewers.It's outrageous that a major network would choose to censor mentions about abortion. For far too long, the refusal to talk honestly about abortion has led to increasing stigma around the issue, and it's got to stop. Three in ten women will have an abortion by age 45. And the vast majority of Americans support access to safe and legal abortion. If NBC, is censoring the use of the word "abortion," then the network is refusing to even take part in a conversation, let alone an honest one that accurately reflects women's lives.Tell NBCUniversal CEO Stephen B. Burke to #StoptheStigma and lead an honest, accurate conversation about abortion.If the reports are true and NBC is refusing to air the word "abortion" because some people are offended, then I also suggest that they cancel Food Fighters with Adam Richman because that shit is offensive to people with taste. Update: NBC did not censor an abortion joke on Last Comic Standing (more info here). Apologies from the author for the misleading information in the lede paragraph. The misleading facts have been removed.Reply32 repliesLeave a reply

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
At the mission level, the company expects mass savings on the consumables point of view, because the crew is operating in a reduced metabolic state. This is coupled with the use of TPN, nutrition and hydration packets. It eliminates the need for the massive food, laundry and toiletry supplies that are needed by the crew on the mission. This offsets the burden on having a closed-looped life support system or ecosystem, where everything has to be completely recycled at 100 percent efficiency that can be backed down quite a bit, in terms of what the system is buying in terms of mass.
In terms of the Habitat itself, it is envisioned to be very small, principally just compartments for the crew while they are sleeping. Upon arrival, the crew members will be moving into the Mars Ascent Vehicle and Mars Descent Vehicles, so they don't need the very large volumes for exercise, for entertainment, for doing scientific work, for eating on the outbound mission. So the crew space on the mission goes from 200 or 300 cubic meters of space down to 20 or 30 cubic meters of volume. All that space has to be pressurized with air for breathing, and structural mass, for launch mass so the company can offset, can take all that out of the mission, as well as all of the supplies that go into that entertainment equipment, exercise equipment, etc. The company expects large savings on that front. That is all equipment that has to be pushed out to Mars, and have the propulsion system to push it back [to Earth].
This will all ideally translate into savings for the sizing of Mars mission architecture in future space exploration missions to the red planet. Bradford adds that the savings can be used to increase [profit] margins, safety in other areas, or just use it to save costs -- reduce the number of launches. This kind of mission to Mars requires a lot of launches, and several of them could be eliminated. The Mars mission launches are over $1 billion per launch, and it takes numerous launches to put up all the hardware needed for a mission to the Red Planet. Even saving a couple of those launches would amount to pretty big savings.
Bradford tells me that the biggest challenge he faces in implementing this technology is the acceptance of the idea that "we're going to put the crew to sleep." And down the road, if everything works out, looks good and there are no show stoppers, there shall be a consensus to start working in this direction and working this approach into a baseline Mars strategy. He thinks the problem is just one of acceptance by NASA and the astronauts even, that they will be in this "sleep-like state" for the mission. That will be a big thing that will take some time to overcome. If people really start looking at what's going on in the medical community right now and the status of the state-of-the-art on this approach, they will begin to feel more comfortable with it. The issue is more political rather than technology, he thinks. There are improvements that do need to happen in the technology side to make this concept work.
Assuming it does, Bradford is looking further down the road. Bradford has identified some medical challenges which will require a solid answer and a strong solution: the muscle atrophy and the company's approaches to that issue, to the impacts of sedation on the organs over long periods. He thinks that a lot of the equipment is close to being fully automated, and says there will need to be a lot of advances there. In terms of the near-term things that the company needs to focus on and keep fixing, they are still working on mitigating the risk of infection from IV lines. Bradford adds the caveat that every time that a hole is opened up in the body, there is a potential risk there for an infection. Bradford sees the eventual development of automated systems that will correct the infection problem and fix it automatically, but adds that this remains a close, present goal they are presently focused on. The SpaceWorks Engineering president keeps a very can-do attitude about future challenges, saying, "I don't think there is anything so significant that we can't solve it. But it will require some investment and some refocus from what's being currently looked at and considered on the Mars front. But we think the payoff is going to be significant."
Astronautic theorist and one of the science's founding fathers, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky said,"Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot live in a cradle forever." But there are many who have understandably questioned U.S. resolve to continue it's past leadership in human space exploration and leave the cradle again, as Apollo 11 once did. John Bradford is restoring faith in those who have lingering doubts about the U.S. space program. His agile, positive attitude is a positive example of maintaining successful, private industry partnerships of technology with NASA. SpaceWorks is providing the U.S. space exploration program with the crucial technical expertise to field the Torpor-Induced Transfer Habitat in future Mars missions, realizing a dream that once only ruminated on the pages of brilliant science fiction.
Ray Bradbury described the effect of science fiction on our civilization in no uncertain terms:
Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about."
From a review of the specifications of this technology, there is everything to gain from it: substantial savings that can be used to increase margins, save costs for future missions, or just balance the books. It's relevant to recall that using TPN creates savings from requiring fewer mission consumables for the crew, the related reduced need for personal ecosystem requirements and the significantly-reduced size of the crew habitat modules. And there is nothing to loose but group activity planning, awkward social situations and unnecessary space. And, of course, the lack of sleep.

BRZ: Panels and styling identical but side vents get long chrome strip on black plastic. Front bumper has cleaner grille opening. Headlights have L-shaped LED lights and indicators incorporated within the main lights. Silver dash finish. Full colour badge makes steering wheel look smarter. Individually numbered. Vibrant ?world rally? blue unique to Subaru. 86 GTS: Exactly the same panels but indicators built into the lower bumper. Unique headlight internals with bright LEDs in single strip. Carbon-look plastic strip across dash looks neat. Distinctive orange unique to Toyota. Winner: BRZWhat you get
BRZ: Both get cruise control, Bluetooth, USB input, seven airbags (dual front, dual side, side-curtain and a driver?s knee airbag) and stability control. Spare wheel is exposed in boot, which is evidence of cost cutting, but the deep wheel frees up a handy storage well for small items or groceries. DataDots theft deterrent a bonus. Drive-away pricing more transparent. Alcantara leather trim with heated seats (another $1500) and satellite-navigation with touchscreen ($1815) pump the price up. 86 GTS: Leather and sat-nav are standard but the price is higher once you factor in dealer charges and government/registration costs. Colour touch screen sound system looks classier. Plastic boot floor only on early order cars with the spare tyre to be scrapped later this year. GT model loses some equipment and gets smaller wheels but saves $5500.
Winner: BRZ
BRZ: First three years of servicing (every nine months or 15,000km) included in the price. 86 GTS: Fixed price servicing for first three years; at $170 per service it adds up to $680 while under the warranty period. Winner: BRZHow it drives
BRZ: Brilliantly agile rear-drive sports car. Steering is excellent with good weight and the ability to turn city corners into an enjoyable experience. Fantastic cornering grip and balance. Sits flat through corners with wonderful poise. Suspension can be bumpy, especially at lower speeds, but it?s not bad considering the dynamic trade-off. 86 GTS: All the BRZ comments apply here. Being the same car the 86 drives the same. Slightly softer front springs will apparently slightly alter the on-the-limit dynamics - but good luck picking it Winner: DrawThe deal
BRZ: Available only online for now (it may change in 2013) and pricing is non-negotiable. Buying process is very transparent though. 86 GTS: Available through more than 200 dealers, some of which have tried to profit by charging more. When supply catches up with demand there's currently a better chance of doing a deal. On-road costs amount to about $3500, depending on the dealer, which makes the lower list price less attractive. Winner: 86 GTSWaiting list
BRZ: Maximum waiting lists are put at ?six months-plus? on the Subaru website, but head office tells us the wait as of July 2012 was out until at least March 2013.86 GTS: There are stories suggesting you?ll be waiting 18 months for an 86, but the reality is much less - and it depends on the dealer you talk to, which can be good and bad. Some can get you a car before the end of the year, provided you?re not picky on colours. Others are quoting well into 2013, while some are reluctant to give details, other than there is a significant wait.
Winner: 86 GTS

The one thing that can be said about the New York Post and their fierce opposition to bikes: at least it's consistent. This time the tabloid takes aim at the city's bike share program and in its latest article that would make Dr. Joseph Goebbels proud, explains why this will have disastrous effects on the city.

Not the french!! Who take a much more active stance against climate change and have enough nuclear power to export it to surrounding countries. How can people be so thick?
You completed some fine points there. I did a search on the issue and found most folks will agree with your blog.
