Sherrington: Dwight Howard not going anywhere (Dallas included) despite Lakers' current mess
Columnist Kevin Sherrington answered your questions in a chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
John ... It is reported that the Mavs will be active at the trading deadline. Who might be available and what do you think the Mavs might do?
Kevin Sherrington: I don't think they'll do much as far as adding, just subtracting. It's a team full of expiring contracts, which is what Cuban wants. He wants financial flexibility to make a move on a premium free agent next summer. He's not going to tie himself up on a lot of contracts. Don't count on many of these guys coming back next season to Dallas. Some won't make the end of this season, especially if it all goes south.
John ... With the Lakers being so bad, do you see Dwight Howard wanting out of LA and what odds do you give for him ending up with the Mavs?
Kevin Sherrington: The Lakers need some time to get over the mess Mike Brown made out of everything. The explanation for the Princeton offense was that the Lakers were not good offensively next year and needed help. Well, they got help. They got Howard and Steve Nash. I'd say that was a pretty good fix. But Brown apparently thought he needed a signature like the Zen Master's Triangle. All he needed to do was roll the ball out to Nash and let him do his thing. He'd still be the coach, and the record would be fine. Bottom line: I don't think Howard is going anywhere.

Eight Sandvik Rotoform lines, located in four different Petrobras refineries awaiting start-up as part of a major investment program being undertaken by Petrobras in new or revamped refinery operations.
The Rotoform system works by depositing droplets of liquid sulfur across a continuously running steel belt. Water is sprayed against the underside of the steel belt and, as the sulfur is carried along the cooler, the resulting transfer of heat converts the liquid droplets into solid pastilles.
The need to increase sulfur solidification capacity is due to a combination of environmental regulations requiring reduced levels of sulfur in fuels (hence greater volumes being extracted) and continuing growth in the overall output from the company's oil fields in the region.
Over the next decade, Petrobras expects to more than double its oil production in Brazil, currently around two million barrels a day, and is committed to maintaining its focus on sustainable production. In early 2008, Petrobras was named the world's most sustainable oil company in a survey by Management & Excellence (M&E), and in 2009 was listed in Dow Jones' Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the fourth consecutive year.
"Our relationship with Petrobras goes back as far as 1973 when we supplied our first steel belt cooler to the company," says Marcelo Sasso, South America sales manager for Sandvik Process Systems. "Over the last five years we've invested in our own infrastructure in order to support Petrobras's expansion program and today there are already Sandvik solidification systems in six of the company's refineries."

The British and Irish Lions win the series 2-1 after third Test rout
Do I detect a little bit of sour grapes????? Who would you suggest didn`t play (Other than one of the centres = I seem to be seeing a bit of a trend from certain individuals across the Irish sea or over the river Severn!!!) Maybe Adam Jones?? who along with Corbisiero did a superb job at scrum time, The Hibbard - Youhg call was always going to be tight (although I felt Hibbard fronted up well and Young came on at the right time), Alun Wyn Played with a massive heart and led from the front Lydiate and Falatau (with O`Brian) did a great job and completely outclassed the Australian back row (But I felt you could have included Tip`s before the game), Phillips? not sure, I think Murrey would have been the better call, Then there are the centres!!!! (I know BOD is regarded as a national treasure in Ireland , but his form during the second test???? ) I accept that Roberts was coming back from injury, but Davies was (and proved) that he was the form 13 On tour, You could object to North and Halfpenny!!!, but I think the most Anti Welsh individuals could not argue with their selections. Gatlands job was coach AND Select a side to win a Lions test series!! Job done I think. There is no room for sentiment in modern professional sport

Johannesburg, Gauteng
Johannesburg's entertainment and leisure options are vast and varied, so make sure your energy levels are high.
This dynamic city has a range of restaurants – from pub 'n grub bars, pizza take-outs and African-inspired eateries to delightful delis serving everything from a great cup of coffee to healthy meals.
There are restaurants for virtually every type of cuisine, cocktail bars, cigar bars, and fine dining. You've simply got to hang out at one of the many eateries in Soweto (along the famous Vilakazi Street), or soak up the sun in the Soho-type villages of Norwood, Parkhurst and Greenside.
Johannesburg is known for its incredible nightlife. From the funky clubs and pubs of Soweto to the laid-back jazzy groove of Newtown and the stylish venues of the northern suburbs, Jozi (as locals refer to the city) caters for all tastes.
What you'll love about the place is the multi-cultural cosmopolitan vibe and an attitude that says 'let's party'. If you're looking for a comedy club, a jazz lounge or a venue that plays live music – from rock to pop to kwaito to house – it's here.
Johannesburg's Central Business District continues to evolve, with an ongoing urban renewal and cultural regeneration programme breathing new life into the city.
Must-do activities include the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill to find out more about South Africa's turbulent past; sundowners at The Westcliff hotel overlooking the green belt of Johannesburg while listening to the lions roar from the nearby Johannesburg Zoo; shopping up a storm at any of the many designer malls such as Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square, Rosebank Mall and Soweto's Maponya Mall; and, as a fitting end to all the fun, a visit to one of many health and beauty spas, or a walk in one of the many parks.
All roads lead to Johannesburg, so the city is easily accessible by air, car or bus. International and domestic flights land and depart from O R Tambo International Airport.
Tours to do while in Johannesburg include the open-top City Sightseeing Bus, tours of Soweto, Gold Reef City, Constitution Hill and the Apartheid Museum. The Cradle of Humankind is about an hour's drive away.
The Gautrain from the airport to downtown Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the bus rapid transit system. Taxis operate 24 hours a day (use only reputable companies) and car hire is also available
Though generally fine and mild during the day, the winter (June to August) nights in Gauteng are chilly and very cold spells can strike, so pack accordingly. Highveld thunderstorms, generally in spring (September), are spectacular, so pack a raincoat.
Johannesburg, as a cosmopolitan city, offers a spread of cuisines as diverse as Brazilian, Thai, Ethiopian and Turkish.
African art and curios


text: Behnaz Sarafpour didn't take a bow at the end of her show on Friday, but it wasn't because she had a sudden bout of stage fright — Sarafpour had to miss her own show. On her way to the venue in the morning, she started feeling ill, so her husband, Evan Shumeyko, called for an ambulance to take the designer to Beth Israel Hospital. There she was diagnosed with having a kidney stone and discharged later in the evening. "I saw my show on Style.com this morning," said Sarafpour, who was resting at home for the weekend, on Saturday. "I think my team did an amazing job in my absence. I'm very proud of them."

Pros: Nice looking case, good functionality...attaches well to single headrest. Fits 9" LCD DVD player comfortably.Cons: Time consuming to frequently take down and put back up.Suggested Improvement: Provide an access panel on the side (bottom side) to make it easier to access DVD controls. Currently have to slightly lift the bottom portion of the DVD player to access side controls (power, hold button, microphone jacks).

By TIM
The design of this case seems to be completely backwards to me. When it is strapped to the head rest, the pocket that holds the DVD's or other accessories is not accessable. The straps are long enough you could wrap them around the entire front seat. Mine does not have any openings to run power cords through at all. I have made it work, but I certainly would never, ever, recomend this case to anyone.

By KEVIN

I bought this product for my son's Panasonic DVDLS-90 DVD player. It is a widescreen player, and fits snugly into the carrying case. The case hangs securely between the front buckets seats of our SUV during road trips. The external headphone jack is very convenient. The storage compartment holds the connecting cables and power cord as well as up to five DVDs (not in their hard cases). This product is well-recommended.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2013) - Regal Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Regal") (CNSX:RGR) is pleased to announce the completion of an underground sampling and geologic mapping program on the company's 100% owned Sunnyside property in Santa Cruz county, Arizona. This initial phase of the work program focused on 17 historic open adits and 8 shaft dumps.
The underground sampling and mapping program incorporated detailed surveying of each adit. Sampling was carried out on 6 metre (20 feet) intervals or less. A total of 201 samples were collected from over 1220 metres (4000 feet) of historical workings. An additional 32 samples were collected from open cuts, shaft dumps and trenches. The shaft dumps were hand trenched to collect representative samples and the trenches and open cuts were chipped along their lengths at 6 metre (20 feet) intervals or less. Seventeen samples were collected from narrow, high grade mineralization confined to veins or fault zones. These samples were collected to determine the effects on the larger 6 metre (20 foot) sample lengths.
Copper values ranged from 13 ppm to 46,200 ppm (4.62%) from the underground sampling program and the silver ranged from 0.1 ppm to 223 ppm (223 grams per ton). This work identified several significant areas of mineralization hosted in brecciated material. Over 10% of the 251 samples collected contained copper values ranging from 1% to 11.05%. Highlights of the program included the BB adit which had an average grade of 1.26% copper and 8 g/t silver over a length of 60+ metres (200 feet (10 samples)) where upon the adit terminated. The Sunnyside adit contained 0.51% copper and 2.3 g/t silver over a length of 180+ metres (600 feet (30 samples)).
This program has been instrumental in providing evidence of near surface Cu-Ag-Au-Mo mineralization associated with multiple episodes of brecciation and faulting. Clear evidence of copper enrichment in the form of chalcocite was evident within several of the adits throughout the property (see pictures on the website). Further analysis of the mapping and sampling will assist in refining drill targets to be tested in the 2013 drill season. A detailed report is being prepared for the company. This report, a list of all samples and a topographical map will be posted on the website as it is completed.

Geo. a 'qualified person' as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Second Chance Lyrics
Put your trust in someone's heart. Promises of unlikely love turn my back. For a minute now I'm strong, united rise above. No more pain.. I've had my turn no more pain. Now you'll learn. Thought I learned my lesson, it's a retake of long ago. Feelings that were once so strong now I'm scared to let them show. No more pain.. I've had my turn. No more pain.. now you'll learn.

I just wanted to post and apologize for the long time between podcasts. I mentioned previously on here that I had to deal with a death on my wife's family side and that has really taken up a lot of our free time. As such, I really haven't had any time for gaming, podcasts, etc.
It seems like a lot of that stuff is starting to calm down, I have almost finished the script for the next podcast, etc. However, due to the fact that I am at a work-related trade event this week (RSA), we won't be able to record it for another week. At any rate, the next podcast will be available on 2/25. We were hoping to get it out on the 13th, but there is just too much still going on... sigh.
Again, I am sorry for the huge delay, and appreciate everyone that has stuck with us.

Victims "A Dissident" LPLa Familia
$ 8.00
$ 14.00
"A Dissident" was the last full length from Victims, recorded by Linus Wiklund with assistance from Nicko from Entombed. When the first chords of opener "Theft" interrupt the album's haunting intro, it's apparent that the years under their belt have only allowed Victims to become even more charged. For nearly a half hour "A Dissident" rages full bore from one punk/hardcore anthem to the next. Songs like "In Control", "We Are Not The Future", and "Nowhere In Time" carry the kind of heavy hooks that most bands can only dream of creating in their tenure. While "Broken Bones" and "Victims In Blood Pt. 6" are flawless examples of the classic hardcore/metal crossover power that they are known for. Victims' unrelenting ferocity, unforgettable choruses, and swedish quest for perfection has pushed the blueprint of their influences (Motorhead, Discharge, etc.) to a new contemporary level. And with the release of "A Dissident", Victims have cemented their place among the leaders, not followers, in today's true underground punk/hardcore scene.

CEO Smurfit Kappa Solid Board, Netherlands
I wanted an international career and Smurfit Kappa gave me the opportunity to work in 4 different countries: France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands
Why did I join Smurfit Kappa?
Ever since I was young I always wanted to work with big complicated machines, and you can't get more complicated machines than paper machines. The people I met when I applied for a job at Smurfit Kappa Group were very enthusiastic and they managed to transfer this enthusiasm about the company. Meeting these people actually convinced me to accept a job at Smurfit Kappa Group.
What has been the most rewarding experience at Smurfit Kappa?
I spent some time at the Divisional Headquarters where I really leant how the company was run. This was a completely new experience for me, having worked exclusively in operations. It made me a much better manager.
What does one working week look like?
Roughly half my time is focused on operational issues - making sure we satisfy our customers. The remaining part of my time I work on long-term development: one day I'm visiting customers, the next day we could be planning how we can make the organization more responsive to our customers, quicker to react when problems occur and how we can make the mill a nicer place to work.
What advice would you give someone considering joining Smurfit Kappa?
Go for it. It's a flat and lean organisation where you get given a lot of responsibility very quickly. It's a company that's moving, there's lot of things happening all the time.

Our Dogs Hunt Tomato Hornworms
Trellis Creates Garden Space
Chickens Feast on Japanese Beetles
Bees Increase Fruit Yield
Delicious Hot Peppers
Easy Tomato Watering
One day last July, my sister was looking closely at our tomato plants and noticed a great deal of damage due to the large, green larvae of the tomato hornworm moth, which lays its eggs during the wee hours of the night. My sister started searching for the hornworms and picked off at least 15.
Our dogs, Heidi, a yellow lab, and Zorro, a German shepherd, became very interested in what my sister was doing, so she offered a worm to each dog. Heidi and Zorro are always hungry, so why not? As unappetizing as it sounds, the dogs gobbled them up. The scent of the hornworms was with them, so the dogs began nosing around in the plants to find the tasty morsels.
Since then, we have seen the dogs in the tomato patch searching for hornworms on their own initiative. They grab the larvae right off the plants and eat them!
Any time we are in the garden, Heidi and Zorro accompany us and locate hornworms much faster than we can. Who would have guessed? This "organic" form of pest control is one that anyone with a dog can try!
I recently began my own small backyard market garden. Pressed for space, I needed a way to gain more area to produce the vegetables I plan to sell at local farmer's markets.
I began using a trellis system, which is great for many kinds of vegetables. Pole beans, of course, work on a trellis, but have you tried cucumbers? On a trellis, cucumbers grow long and straight and leave a lot more ground for other plantings. A strong trellis also can be used for some small melon varieties. The melons will maintain their naturally round shape, and keeping them off the ground discourages rot and keeps some critters at bay. Heavy tomato vines also can be trained to grow along a trellis.
Place your trellises in garden areas where they will receive ample sunlight, but not where the trellises will shade your other plants. I put mine on the south side of the garden, giving all my plants dawn-to-dusk sunlight.
To make a trellis, a heavy gauge of fencing material works best. My trellises are just over 6 feet high, with the bottom of the fencing attached 1 foot up the fence stake.
We once lived in an area that had a tremendous number of Japanese beetles in the summertime. In order to save our raspberry and rose bushes from total destruction, I bought a "bag-a-bug" pheromone trap. Within 24 hours, the beetles completely filled the bag.
I realized I would never keep up with emptying the filled bag of bugs, so I moved the trap to the chicken pen and hung it about 6 feet from the ground. I cut off the bottom corner of the bag, fitted the bottom of the bag over a piece of 1 1/2-inch PVC pipe and secured it with duct tape. The bottom of the pipe hung over a kitchen plate. Here's how it works: The beetles fly into the trap, slide into the bag and down the pipe onto the plate. When they reach the plate, they walk around rather than fly away.
The plate quickly became the main attraction in the chicken pen. The chickens would gather around and eat the beetles as they fell onto the plate; eventually, they started catching the beetles in the air as they flew toward the trap.
The trap provided a significant supplement to the chickens' diet, and our raspberries and roses thrived.
We have a small farm in south-central Kansas that has a variety of fruit trees. Two years ago, I took a beekeeping class and moved some hives to the farm for pollination and for the honey. The following year, we had an abundance of apples, and their size had nearly doubled!
I also built an observation beehive that hangs on the outside of the sun porch, where in the morning I drink coffee and watch the bees working. My grandchildren like to try to find the queen bee.

I remember chopping and mixing vegetables with my mom to make our family recipe for Puerto Rican sofrito (salsa). Every spring, Mom and I would go to a local organic greenhouse to pick out a variety of hot-pepper seedlings. Then we'd turn the resulting fruits into hot sauces to satisfy our capsicum (pepper) cravings. Now that I have my own garden, it is a tradition I continue with my son.
My mom found 'Aji Dulce' pepper seedlings at the nursery, and they grew abundant fruits in the first year. But in subsequent years, they hardly grew past our ankles. However, we found that 'Aji Crystal' peppers are prolific in our Zone 4 climate. The 'Aji Crystal' peppers have more heat than the 'Aji Dulce' peppers, but by substituting these equally citrusy and pungently sweet peppers, our "northern sofrito" is a garden-fresh meal worthy of sharing.
Northern Sofrito
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth:
2 bunches cilantro
1 head garlic (peeled cloves)
1 large white onion cut into quarters
4 cups deseeded 'Aji Crystal' peppers
1 can tomato paste (6 ounces)
1/4 to 1/2 cup vinegar (to taste)
Dashes of the following spices, to taste:
cumin, granulated garlic, oregano,
paprika, salt and pepper
Basically, sofrito is a seasoning paste that is used in Latin American dishes such as rice and beans. It also can be used in a variety of other dishes or as a marinade for chicken or tofu. A common way to use sofrito is to sauté about 2 tablespoons in olive oil, and then add a large can of crushed tomatoes to make a sauce. The sauce can be used with rice and beans or with tacos and enchiladas. Because only a small amount of sofrito is called for in most dishes, many folks freeze it in small containers for later use.
'Aji Crystal' pepper seeds are available from Seed Savers Exchange. To order by phone or to request a catalog, call (563) 382-5990. For more information about hot peppers, read the February/March 2004 article "The Other Chile Peppers."— Mother
To conserve water and direct it to plants' roots, find some 2-inch-diameter plastic pipe and cut it into 3-foot lengths. With a narrow blade, cut several half-inch slots along 6 inches of one end of each length of pipe.
For each plant, dig a hole 12 to 18 inches deep. Place the pipe in the hole with the "holey" end at the bottom and the other end above the surface. Add your customary amendments to the dug-out soil and refill the hole to planting depth.
Set your tomato plants deep in the soil above the pipe, gently backfill and mulch. When it's time to water, simply pour water or manure tea down the pipe, straight to the root zone. This trick works well for tomatoes, and you can adapt it for peppers, eggplant and more.

Apparently its happening but with the degree of apathy from the media and just in general - I cannot recall a Games that has had the least amount of excitement....or is it me ?
I would rather watch some a decent TV series or a film.
Maybe when track and field starts....
On Sunday morning I saw some female beach volleyball to a stadium half full even when Brazil are playing. I read that the tight security is turning people off queuing for hours. When the locals cannot be fucked to turn up to support female beach volleyball...in a country that is obsessed with beach fun - you know it must be bad.
Maybe the Olympic committee with all its corruption has managed to systematically turn everyone off

No. Although innobackupex is derived from the same GPL and open-source wrapper script that InnoDB Hot Backup uses, it does not execute ibbackup, and the xtrabackup binary does not execute or link to ibbackup. You can use Percona XtraBackup without any license; it is completely separate from InnoDB Hot Backup.
That's the way the source for the tool was distributed from Oracle. Nowadays, it is a symbolic link to innobackupex for backward compatibility with Percona XtraBackup.
Because innobackupex is a patched version of Oracle 's innobackup script (now renamed to mysqlbackup), it is quite similar in some ways, and familiarity with innobackup might be helpful.
Aside from the options for specific features of innobackupex, the main differences are:
- printing to STDERR instead of STDOUT (which enables the --stream option),
- the configuration file - my.cnf - is detected automatically (or setted with innobackupex --defaults-file) instead of the mandotory first argument,
- and defaults to xtrabackup as binary to use in the --ibbackup.
See The innobackupex Option Reference for more details.
xtrabackup is a C program written to take advantage of the InnoDB or XtraDB features in order to make it as fast, less resource-consuming and unobtrusive (locking the database server) as possible. That is only possible with those engines. In the case of MyISAM a "read lock" is needed.
innobackupex is a script written in Perl which wraps xtrabackup and other backup tools and provides you with the functionality of each tool taking care of the details.
However, for some specific tasks, you must use xtrabackup directly. See the Percona XtraBackup User Manual for details on each one.
Zmanda Recovery Manager is a commercial tool that uses Percona XtraBackup for Non-Blocking Backups:
"ZRM provides support for non-blocking backups of MySQL using |Percona XtraBackup|. ZRM with |Percona XtraBackup| provides resource utilization management by providing throttling based on the number of IO operations per second. |Percona XtraBackup| based backups also allow for table level recovery even though the backup was done at the database level (needs the recovery database server to be |Percona Server| with XtraDB)."
In most of the cases this is due to not having install the required libraries (and version) by xtrabackup. Installing the GCC suite with the supporting libraries and recompiling xtrabackup will solve the issue. See Compiling and Installing from Source Code for instructions on the procedure.
In case the ibdata and ib_log files are located in different directories outside of the datadir, you will have to put them in their proper place after the logs have been applied.
This usually happens when database being backed up contains large amount of files and Percona XtraBackup can't open all of them to create a successful backup. In order to avoid this error the operating system should be configured appropriately so that Percona XtraBackup can open all its files. On Linux, this can be done with the ulimit command for specific backup session or by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf to change it globally (NOTE: the maximum possible value that can be set up is 1048576 which is a hard-coded constant in the Linux kernel).

More than 40% of internet users refuse to accept cookies if asked to opt in when visiting a website, according to new data from QuBit.
However 99.9% give consent if they are simply notified that a site uses cookies. The data was compiled from more than 500,000 user interactions through QuBit's Cookie Consent tool.
Since the new EU e-Privacy Directive came into force a few weeks ago, notification appears to be the most common method of complying with the law.
Rather than using pop-ups to explicitly ask users for their consent, retailers such as John Lewis, M&S and Amazon have simply made links to their cookie policy more prominent.
When the law was first published it was thought this approach would not be compliant, but the Information Commissioners Office has told us that it will be taking a lenient approach so it's unlikely these sites will be forced to do anything different.
QuBit's tool also has a third setting which assumes users are willing to accept cookies unless they opt out – in this case 99.7% of users gave consent.
Therefore, if the ICO eventually says notification isn't enough, this data indicates that sites can still achieve nearly 100% permission from users by assuming implicit consent from all site visitors.
This is similar to the actions taken by the BBC and Channel 4, both of which assume users will give their consent as agreeing to cookies is the only option presented on their homepages.
Overall, the levels of consent achieved in the first few weeks since the cookie law came into force are encouraging and should allay the fears of those who thought users would opt out in droves.
However, it also shows that explicitly asking users for their consent could potentially lead to a high number of people refusing to accept cookies.

Just read an article about the launch of the Facebook ad exchange and something jumped out at me;
'Facebook will place cookies on users' browsers, which partner sites will use to identify members of the social network, Ta explained. Facebook will not offer a way for users to block these interactions; that will be the responsibility of the third-party partners.'
I wonder if the ICO will be chasing up Facebook to make sure that they are compliant.....?
@Ed, I think I'm right in saying that Facebook is based in Ireland, so falls outside the ICO's jurisdiction. But that doesn't mean the Irish authorities shouldn't be chasing them up about it.
Is that the same for Google as well? I think their European HQ is Dublin as well, as is Microsoft's? I'm not trying to dob anyone in, I would just like to see the response/slap down that the ICO got when they tried to enforce this on Google, FB & MSN!
Even if the ICO did take enforcement action (which they won't), the big players could easily swallow the fines and carry on as normal. I think the ICO is more hoping that the stigma of being 'outed' will force companies to comply.
David/Ed Hi,
FYI, the requirements were implemented into Irish Law with effect from 1 July 2011 and the ICO do have a Northern Ireleand Office based in Belfast, so it's in their powers to follow this up.
If that's what QuBit's research says then that must be the case but anecdotally I don't know anyone who does anything other than hit the little cross in the top right (without reading the text properly) to get rid of the annoying cookie message that blocks your immediate use of the site you've gone too.
Sites such as Nominet keep showing only one option: "allow cookies". Still, you have to press the button to accept. I can imagine it's not very efficient and would suggest doing like BBC instead.
@EdHockey Do you have a link to that article about the Facebook launch? Could you post it please? Thanks!

Liophidium mayottensis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Liophidium mayottensis (Peters, 1874)
Common Name(s):
Ablabes rhodogaster ssp. mayottensis Peters, 1874
Polyodontophis mayottensis (Peters, 1874)
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Hawlitschek, O. & Glaw, F.
|Bowles, P. & Cox, N.A.
Listed as Endangered despite the limited data available, as it has a maximum extent of occurrence of 365.5 km² and an estimated area of occupancy of 66.5 km², it occurs as a severely fragmented population, and there is a continuing decline in habitat quality, and possibly also in the number of mature individuals, due to deforestation, habitat degradation and introduced predators.
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to Mayotte (Meirte 1999, Meirte 2004, Hawlitschek et al. in prep.). For extent of occurrence, we use the entire terrestrial area of Mayotte, which is 376.5 km². For area of occupancy, we use the area covered by suitable habitat classes, as based on field surveys and a remote sensing analysis (Hawlitschek et al. in prep.). The few known localities are in natural forests and in plantations in the centre of Mayotte. No observations in or near urban and agricultural areas exist. We therefore restrict the area of occupancy to an area of forests, degraded forests and plantations in the island centre, where the records were made. Future observations may extend this area, however, the area of occupancy is presently considered to be 65.2 km². The snake has been recorded between 144 and 653 m asl.
|Countries occurrence:
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The extreme scarcity of observations may be attributed to the cryptic habits of this snake, but also suggests that L. mayottensis is not common (Hawlitschek et al. in prep.). Due to the fragmentary nature of suitable habitats on Mayotte, the population is presumed to be severely fragmented.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This snake is diurnal, ground-dwelling and very secretive. It was observed in natural forests and plantations (Hawlitschek et al. in prep.). Oviparous according to Meirte (2004).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Use and Trade:
|There are no reports of this species being utilized.
|Major Threat(s):
|This species has been recorded only in pristine forests and in forest-like habitats (plantations). On Mayotte, many forests are degraded, and the total forest area is severely fragmented (Hawlitschek et al. in prep.). The latter is also true for many plantation areas. Although many forests are protected, areas in vicinity to the reserves are subject to deforestation or further degradation, leading to a continuing decline in habitat quality. A further threat likely comes from the introduced Small Indian Civet (Viverricula indica), a carnivorous species which probably also includes L. mayottensis in its diet. Probably, Mayotte has no native mammal predators on reptiles, which would mean that L. mayottensis is not adapted to this pressure (Meirte 2004, Hawlitschek et al. in prep.).
|Conservation Actions:
No specific conservation actions are currently known for this species. All native reptile species are protected by law on Mayotte, and several nature reserves exist which may benefit to L. mayottensis. However, no data is available on the snake's occurrence in these sites.
Conservation actions which may benefit to L. mayottensis are the creation of nature reserves and development of sustainable agri- and horticultural practices.
Reliable statements on the population development of this species can only be made if intensive monitoring is implemented. We do not know of any currently implemented monitoring programme on Mayotte.

Roommates.com is the best referral service of its kind that I have ever used. It was quick and easy and extremely helpful. It was a lifesaver for me. I found the perfect place and I am very happy. I don't think I could've found it any other way. I don't know how people found roommates before roommates.com!! Thank you, - Tracy
I was first signed up with a competitor of yours... however, I grew tired of writing to people I did not get responses from (couldn't tell how old the listings were) and was getting closer to D-Day when I decided to sign up for your service. I think the room-mail feature is great. It allows you to remain confidential until you're more comfortable and I loved the resources page you made available. I was able to use several of the links you provided. Of course, best of all...I found my new roommate and renter here! Thanks Much - Michelle

State Auditor General Jack Wagner visits Point Park campus Friday, February 10, 2012
Jack Wagner, Pennsylvania's auditor general, recently visited Point Park University to tour the Academic Village Initiative with University President Paul Hennigan.
Hennigan updated Wagner on Point Park's progress so far on the $244 million academic and economic development project, which has benefited from investment of state and federal dollars. Hennigan showed Wagner the stunning new Village Park and described the ongoing work on the Wood Street corridor renovations, which include new sidewalks and curbs, street resurfacing, lighting, plantings and pedestrian safety improvements.
The Village Park opened in September 2011 and the new park restaurant, Osteria 100, is scheduled to open this spring. The Wood Street work is expected to be completed in late spring of this year.
As the state's auditor general, Wagner is responsible for protecting how tax dollars are spent and ensuring that government operates efficiently and effectively.
Wagner is no stranger to the University campus. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1966 to 1968 and receiving a Purple Heart in the Vietnam War, he returned to Pittsburgh and started his road to a college degree at then Point Park College.
Later serving as a member of Pittsburgh City Council, Wagner was an outspoken advocate for the importance of a strong urban core and the impact it has on the Pittsburgh region.
During his visit to Point Park, Hennigan shared with Wagner the University's commitment to providing a quality education in a vibrant, Downtown neighborhood and the University's goal of becoming one of the most dynamic private, urban universities in America.

I'm just returning to darkroom work after an 18 year gap, I got carried away on the digital bandwagon, and frankly it's rubbish!
When I used to process B/W sheet film for a professional lab we used to use deep tanks, with the film in hangers held in a metal cage and work in the dark. I think they would be a little uneconomical for my own use, with just a few sheets now and again.
What is the method most people use for processing 5x4 film these days?
p.s Iv'e just picked up a De vere 504 for £150, I can't believe how cheap all this stuff is these days.
Thanks in advance

50th Anniversary of the World Championship Derby Racing
Submitted: 01/18/2013
Eagle River
- This event for the organizers is not just about racing, it's also about history. Of course people come all over the country to see the races. But what they should also know is who created stepping stones for these new racers. We had a chance to talk with a legend.Roger Jansen won the World Championship in 1969. He has raced from West Yellow Stone, Montana to Canada. He said racing was one job he was glad to get up and do. "To come back here again and see my old friends is really intriguing for me. A guy gets away from the people and you haven't seen them for a long time." said Jensen. "And no matter what sled they run and no matter how many times they beat me or lost to me, they're still my good friends."Paul Vranish traveled all the way from El Paso, Texas.Meeting legends like Roger is a real treat for him. "It was heroes like him that got me excited to get into this racing and so you have the thrill of that." Vranish said. If you would like to see some of the older snowmobiles, you can visit the museum which is right next to the derby track.

Rational Roots and Remainders: Important Theorems of Polynomials
Lesson 9 of 15
Objective: SWBAT identify the connections between dividing polynomials and evaluating polynomials and determine the possible rational zeros of a polynomial using the Rational Root Test.
Big Idea: Using polynomial division students discover the Remainder Theorem & then learn about the Rational Root Test.
Students should begin working on the two polynomial division problems on page 2 of the Flipchart on a scratch piece of paper (they will record their findings later). After about 5 minutes, I plan to go over the first problem using whichever method (long division, synthetic division, or division with generic squares) that students request, maybe even all 3.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Resources (2)
Today was the last day of new learning and I definitely plan on sharing this with students. So for the next week students are just going to be presented with opportunities to put all the pieces together and build on their current knowledge. Since we are getting close to the end of the unit, I wanted to get a sense for how students feel that they are progressing. At the end of today's lesson I am going to have my students complete a 3-2-1 Assessment to accomplish this. The prompts for students are on the last slide of the power point. We will be reviewing students' responses at the start of class tomorrow and may use some of their feedback to drive the instruction in the upcoming lessons.

Although the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have shown that media conglomerates limit the diversity of views, subvert democracy and stymie journalistic integrity, media regulators continue to let them expand. As each of these three countries enters another round of media convergence, their federal media watchdogs appear to be looking the other way.
When Australia's Rupert Murdoch threw his support behind the Iraq War, so did the 175 media outlets he owns as part of News Corp. When Canada's CanWest Global Communications justified the Afghanistan invasion, so did its eleven daily newspapers and 16 television stations. And when the major US media conglomerates signed off on the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, American journalists lined up right behind them. In a recent interview on PBS's Bill Moyers Report, formerCBS Evening News anchorman Dan Rather explained why journalists were so afraid to question the war.
"Fear is in every newsroom in the country . . . particularly in [the] networks," said Rather. "They've become huge international conglomerates. They have big needs, legislative needs, regulatory needs in Washington. Nobody has to send you a memo to tell you that that's the case – you know. And that puts a seed in your mind of well, 'If you stick your neck out, if you take the risk of going against the grain with your reporting, is anybody going to back you up?'"
Although the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have shown that media conglomerates limit the diversity of views, subvert democracy and stymie journalistic integrity, Canada, America and Australia's media regulators continue to let them expand. In fact, over the past decade, media regulators have gone out of their way to help facilitate consolidation or have refused to speak up against it – all to the detriment of the public's interest. As each of these three countries enters another round of media convergence, their federal media watchdogs appear to be looking the other way.
three major media mergers are awaiting approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as ofAdbusters' press deadline – mergers that could erase some of the last remaining borders on the country's media ownership map. Over the course of the past year, CTVglobemedia spent $1.4 billion to acquire CHUM Limited, which would give the country's highest-rated broadcaster control over the third-highest; media monolith CanWest Global Communications announced it was swallowing specialty broadcaster Alliance Atlantis Communications in a $2.3 billion deal; and Astral Media Incorporated announced it had spent $1.2 billion to acquire Standard Broadcasting, transforming it into the largest radio broadcaster in the country.
If Canada had an effective media regulator, it would be virtually impossible to get these deals approved. Not only do they dramatically reshape the country's media landscape by concentrating it in fewer hands, two of the deals blatantly contravene Canada's Broadcasting Act. The ctvglobemedia deal breaks CRTC regulations by giving it two television stations in five major cities, and since US investment firm Goldman Sachs is bankrolling the CanWest deal, it infringes upon the CRTC's foreign-ownership rule. But while CRTC commissioners acted tough when grilling ctvglobemedia about the merits of the deal at a public hearing last April, the commission appears to be predictably getting out of the way – CRTC chairman Konrad von Finckenstein commented that the commission is "not in the business of killing deals."
The one benefit of the acquisitions is that they appear to have finally awakened the CRTC to the growing problem of consolidation. Whereas in previous years it has only been concerned with the levels of Canadian content and competition rules, for the first time in its history the CRTC will hold broader public hearings this fall on media diversity. But for many critics, this delayed revelation is too little, too late. The CRTC was originally supposed to hold media diversity hearings in the spring to coincide with the three proposed mergers, but pushed them back to a later date in order to give each of the conglomerates "procedural fairness." Some have complained that this is about as useful as closing the barn door after the horses have stampeded out.
Catherine Murray, an associate professor at Simon Fraser University's School of Communication, says the decision to postpone the diversity hearings until the fall is "extremely unfortunate and adhockery" since the CRTC is about to rule on three mergers that will have a major impact on news sharing and local news operations in Canada. What's worse is that the CRTC doesn't give the public any real opportunity to debate the consequences of the proposed conquests.
"We are in a completely lopsided environment where citizens groups and concerned individuals aren't able to . . . oppose the dominant powers before the CRTC, and nothing is being done about it," says Murray. "The day of assuming the CRTC would automatically be a trustee of the public interest is long gone."
CRTC spokesperson Denis Carmel says the public hearings are needed in order to create "clear rules that govern media concentration" and its impact on the diversity of voices in the broadcasting system. But the discussion will be moot if the CRTC approves the three mega-mergers, since there won't be much media left over to fight for. While the CRTC now pretends to be concerned about the impact of consolidation, the reality is that it has to take responsibility for putting Canada's media in this mess in the first place. Over the past decade the CRTC has repeatedly bowed to the demands of the country's media empires and aided and abetted their attempts to consolidate the industry.
The commission allowed media corporations to expand the number of radio and television stations they own across the country and enabled them to own more than one television station in a single market. Its most egregious decision, however, was in 2001 when it sanctioned the controversial practice of convergence and allowed the conglomerates to combine their television and print operations – a decision that was condemned by the International Federation of Journalists for degrading the quality of reporting.
The CRTC's ineffectiveness as a watchdog goes beyond its role in facilitating consolidation. While it continues to let corporations take a stranglehold over the media landscape, the CRTC has failed to ensure that the airwaves remain open to the public. For more than 30 years, the CRTC has done nothing when public interest groups are denied access to commercial airtime. Over the past ten years, Adbusters Media Foundation has attempted to have its commercials air on Canada's largest public and private broadcasters, but the ads have consistently been rejected because they go against the grain of "commercial broadcasting." The CRTC's only response to the infringement has been to order the networks to write Adbusters a letter explaining their decision. In 2004, Adbusterslaunched a lawsuit against six Canadian broadcasters for refusing to run its ads and is now attempting to add the CRTC to its application.
"Our position is that the CRTC and the Canadian government as a whole have failed to do what the Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] requires that they do; to protect the rights of Canadians to access the airwaves," says Ryan Dalziel, a lawyer with Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP, which representsAdbusters.
where the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been deathly silent to the country's growing media consolidation problem, the failings and faults of its national media regulators are nearly identical to those of Canada. In a country that gave birth to Rupert Murdoch's media empire, the ACMA has only helped it grow and flourish. When Australia's Conservative government passed a series of media reform laws last year that removed some of the final barriers to complete media convergence, the ACMA was nowhere to be seen. Australia already has one of the highest concentrations of media ownership in the western world with two families, the Murdochs and Packers, controlling the country's newspaper and television markets. The government's new media laws lifted the 20 year old ban on cross-ownership and now allows each corporation to operate in two out of three media sectors – print, television or radio.
Since Australia's media reform laws were passed, there has been a dizzying amount of convergence activity. Murdoch's News Corp., the country's largest newspaper publisher, bought and then sold a portion of Fairfax Media, the country's second largest newspaper chain, which in turn, purchased Rural Press, the country's third largest newspaper chain, for $2.3 billion. Seven Network, the country's top-rated television network, bought a small share of Fairfax and increased its share of West Australian Newspaper, giving it more control over the country's fourth largest publisher and opening the door for a complete takeover. Packer has also gotten into the mix by selling a controlling stake in Channel Nine and then buying nbn Network. With media companies now able to dip in and out of new mediums, there has also been a flurry of speculation on further sales and acquisitions.
Jock Given, a media expert at Swinburne University of Technology's Institute for Social Research, says Australia's already heavily consolidated media already has a strong bias toward John Howard's Conservative government at the expense of any opposition. He says the new media laws are only going to have a negative impact by consolidating the limited range of opinions into even fewer hands and wiping out some of the last remaining independent voices. While the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has at least expressed some concern about the mergers (albeit in strictly business terms), the ACMA has said nothing about this media manipulation.
When the Howard government brought its media reform laws before the ACMA, it was only for the organization to determine how it was going to enforce the new rules and not to review whether they would be detrimental to the public's interest. Although the ACMA's website says its official vision is to be "forward-looking, proactive and flexible" and that it encourages a "vibrant communications sector," the reality is anything but. While Canada's media regulator at least pretends to be defending the public perspective in the face of media consolidation, the ACMA doesn't even bother.
"When it comes down to it, the [ACMA's] interest is not in the level of diversity needed for democracy. Their focus is on the business competition," says Glenys Stradijot, campaign manager for Friends of abc, a public interest group that defends the country's public broadcaster. "The reality is they're not going to protect media diversity to the extent that's really needed."
In all fairness to the ACMA and the CRTC, their hands are tied behind their back since neither country's government has afforded them the opportunity to be a proper watchdog. Each media regulator only has as much power as its legislation gives them. In Australia and Canada that means they are kept on a very short leash. It also doesn't look like it will get better anytime soon. While Howard has talked about loosening media ownership rules for a decade, Canada's new Conservative government has said it wants to scrap the CRTC altogether. When Canada's Senate completed an extensive study last year that proposed large mergers be automatically reviewed by the government, Heritage Minister Bev Oda brushed off the report, saying that " . . . convergence has become an essential business strategy for media organizations to stay competitive."
giant media conglomerates like General Electric and Time Warner have tightly wrapped themselves around every aspect of media distribution. But while Canada and Australia suffer from toothless media regulators too weak and ineffectual to stop these monsters, the US has a media regulator that is aggressively pursuing to dismantle its own regulations. After being rebuked by Congress and the courts in 2003 for trying to remove caps on the number of stations a company can own and allow it to own both newspapers and television, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is once again holding a series of public hearings across the country about weakening convergence laws.
There are a few media companies in the US that were grandfathered by the FCC's cross-ownership restriction and allowed to keep their television, radio and newspaper assets. One such corporation is the Tribune Company, which owns television stations and newspapers in a number of major markets, including Chicago and Los Angeles, and was recently purchased by Sam Zell for $8.2 billion. But instead of Tribune immediately losing its grandfathered status and being forced to sell off some of its assets, FCC commissioners are trying to find a way for Zell to also receive an exemption. Tribune has already become famous for mastering the controversial art of convergence over the past two decades, cutting costs to the detriment of local reporting by using television and newspaper journalists in both mediums.
Although the FCC's own internal studies have shown that media consolidation hurts diversity, cuts out minorities from ownership and ignores local issues, the commission has suppressed these reports and continued to promote the convergence agenda instead. The FCC's structure is unique in that it has five commissioners appointed by government: three by the White House and two by the opposition. But instead of keeping each other in check on media issues, both parties have a history of promoting consolidation and ignoring public input. FCC commissioners are viewed as being corrupted by media companies since they have often accepted free flights and dinners from them and usually go on to work in the media industry when they leave the commission.
"They certainly haven't been [an effective watchdog]," says Craig Aaron, communications director with Free Press, a public advocacy group. "I think it's possible that the FCC could become an effective watchdog and certainly certain members of the FCC have started to take their job seriously by actually representing American people and not the big companies. But by and large the recent history of the FCC has been absolutely the opposite. At every turn they've tried to give more and more away to big media companies."
The next few months are crucial to the future of media democracy in Canada, America and Australia. Recently, there has been another major burst of consolidation activity that may see News Corp. take over the Wall Street Journal empire, Canada's Thompson Corp. buy Reuters, and Microsoft and Yahoo merge into some kind of online Frankenstein. The fact that the Australian government has already enacted laws that will allow the country's media landscape to be scrambled beyond recognition may mean it's too late, but the FCC and CRTC's public hearings give Americans and Canadians a real opportunity to voice their concerns about the dangers of media consolidation.
With major issues like the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and climate change still on the horizon, the public today, more than ever, needs a diverse media that can allow them to make informed decisions. But if a handful of corporations control the flow of information, they control the debate: blinded by short-term profits and bound by powerful lobbyists, they are content to leave the majority of people in the dark. A diverse media is crucial to a healthy and just society. The civil rights movement, women's suffrage and child labor laws were all changes brought about by renegade voices in the media, and it's precisely these kinds of voices that media consolidation is threatening to stifle. It's time for people to speak out against consolidation and demand their media watchdogs be strengthened, or else it may be time to put them down.

This giveaways is now closed. Congratulations to the winner, Katy P!
So I love, love, love talking to my boys about food, making healthy choices, and food around the world. Just this morning, we had a conversation about kids in other countries and what they eat. It was quite the intense breakfast conversation for early on a Monday morning! My oldest was asking questions like, "Where do they get their food?" (Talking about kids in Africa.) "What about kids in South America?" "Are there grocery stores in the dessert?"
And I think Ryan was very interested because he knows he was born in another country…and was really curious about what they ate in the Dominican Republic.
And I love that I can have these conversations with my kids…to engage them, to make them think beyond their own "food world," to inspire them to think of other.
Another great way to get kids thinking about food, healthy choices and their food world is….
The Healthy Creatures iPad app.
Healthy Creatures allows children to make collages with fruits and vegetables, featuring original artwork by Penguin USA children's book author and illustrator Jonathan Fenske, Healthy Creatures offers kids a way to express themselves with garden-fresh art. In a world awash in children's apps featuring donuts, cookies and cupcakes, Healthy Creatures stands apart. The Fat and Appy team has created a very fun and interactive app that is fun for kids, and allows parents to open up the conversation with their kids.

Children's picture books
Torii's Adventrues is a self-publishing company owned by Janelle and Alan Condra of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The couple has written and illustrated a delightful series of four children's books about their pet Golden Retrievers, Torii and Marli. In these books, Torii tells about herself and the fun adventures she has had in the northwoods of Wisconsin during each season of the year. Each book describes the exploits of Torii and Marli taken from their real life experiences when walking and playing in the woods and lakes near their home.
Janelle, an elementary school teacher for 30 years, and Alan, a photographer, have combined their talents to create this entertaining series of books. The engaging text and unique illustrations that blend real photos with computer graphic backgrounds make these books a joy to read and look at. The series starts with Torii's Summer Adventure, about Torii's fun at the lake. In Torii's Fall Adventure, Marli, the puppy, is introduced. In the next two books in the series, Torii's Winter Adventure and Torii's Spring Adventure, Marli is all grown up and joins in the fun of going on adventures with Torii. Children, parents and teachers love the stories and photos.

These style stars pull out all the stops—especially on Halloween. Learn how to recreate their costumes in your very own closet.
From the beaded shift to the whimsical feather headdress, Lauren Conrad is channeling The Great Gatsby in her glamorous flapper girl ensemble.
Take a cue from this style star's classic Halloween costume by pairing a simple slipdress with loads of rhinestone baubles, a feather boa (which costs just a few bucks from any party store), and ladylike metallic heels. Don't forget a bright red pucker for the final touch!
Ever the jet-setter, Blake Lively didn't have to look far for her Halloween costume inspiration. Wearing a little black dress, the Gossip Girl star grabbed a pilot's hat and added a basic black tie to complete her get-up.
To get the Gossip Girl star's look, wear your favorite LBD and borrow one of dad's old ties. Don't have a pilot's hat laying around? Drop by the local Salvation Army and pick up an authentic chapeau to top off your outfit.
Ashley Greene's sassy peacock costume may seem fancy, but the tulle frock decorated with accents of iridescent blue and green feathers is surprisingly simple to recreate.
A black top and matching tutu is all you need to look like the Twilight star. Simply fasten on loads of peacock feathers from a craft store and top it all off with some glittery eye makeup—you're sure to be proud as a peacock in your DIY costume.
Ciara looks positively majestic as Storm, the reigning queen from X-Men in platinum hair, striking white eyes, and a sleek bodysuit.
For your interpretation of the classic comic book character, a bodysuit—or leggings and a leotard— worn with a blond wig and black heeled boots will work perfectly. Throw in a pair of white contact lenses, and all eyes will be on you.
Michelle Trachtenberg looks like she stepped off the set of Marie Antoinette, staying true to character in a towering white wig and gorgeous gown, accessorized with a bloody neckline.
Replicate France's most infamous queen by pairing a vintage dress nabbed from your local thrift store with white stockings and old-school lace-up heels. Powder your face (and then powder your face some more), and top it all off with a sky-high pastel wig.
Dressed up as the classic candy maker, Nina Dobrev donned Willy Wonka's signature purple blazer with a dapper candy-adorned top hat.
You, too, can look like the world's most famous chocolatier by wearing head-to-toe purple, cartoonish makeup, and a menswear-inspired topper.
Although it was Anne Hathaway who played the elegant role of the White Queen in , AnnaLynne McCord looked every bit the part in a curly blond wig and glittery gown.
To get the look, there's no need for a fancy gown. Don a pretty white dress, blond wig, and sparkly heels. Brush a pale powder on your face, and finish with a bold lip color.
Kat Graham must have taken inspiration from her hit show; dressed as a bad-girl vampire, the The Vampire Diaries might as well have borrowed her costume straight from the set.
You don't have to be a supernatural TV star to dress up as a bloodsucker. Just pair a camisole with a classic black maxi skirt, add smoky shadow and dark lipstick, and complete the look with fake blood dripping from the side of your mouth. Bella will have nothing on you!
Jessica Stroup's cute costume—a sweet striped sundress worn with thigh-high socks—is the bee's knees, and best of all it's easy to create with clothes already found in your closet.
To get the 90210 actress's look, pick up bright yellow dress and add your own black masking stripes with tape. Accessorize with black tights and flats, and wear a playful wig or headband. Don't forget wings!
Looking like John Hughes heroine, Angela Simmons dressed up as an '80s pop princess in a tulle skirt, motorcycle jacket, and a gaggle of Madonna-esque pearls.
No need to be Hollywood royalty to recreate Angela's crafty costume; grab a colorful tutu, top it off with a leather jacket, and layer on lots of retro extras like rhinestone necklaces, fishnet tights, and bubble gum pink lipstick.

The group of band junkies who either spend way to much time with the opposite sex, probably in the band room, or have watched way too much American Pie. The boys can often be caught sticking their junk in the Oboe or constructing a complex diagram of the choreography for their next competition thingy. The girls can be seen playing their saxophone or "blowing the flute," which they bring a whole new meaning to.
Sexually Active Band Geeks: "This one time, at band camp, I stuck my flute in my p***y."

December 18, 2012
Every year, new research gives us a deeper understanding of what it will take to achieve greater successes in HIV prevention, treatment, patient care and the search for a cure. While most of the legwork gets overlooked, HIV conferences allow researchers to present their study results to a broader audience -- and to attract the attention of sites like TheBodyPRO.com and its readers.
Here we count down the 10 conference stories we covered this year that proved to be most popular with our readership.
Early study results presented at CROI 2012 showed that GS-7340 (tenofovir alafenamide, TAF), a new oral prodrug, was well tolerated and had better antiviral activity at lower doses than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Viread, TDF). The study found that in 38 people over 10 days, 25 mg of GS-7340 outperformed 300 mg of the currently approved tenofovir formulation. Along with fewer side effects, GS-7340 showed higher potency, which could mean longer and better viral suppression over time.
(Follow-up results, which reinforced these initial findings, were later presented at ICAAC 2012.)
In this study presented at CROI 2012, some seroadaptive behaviors appeared to be even more effective than condom use at reducing the risk of HIV acquisition, but with important caveats.
While having a single, uninfected partner or being an exclusive "top" (i.e., the insertive partner) seemed to reduce risk more than never having unprotected anal intercourse, lead researcher Snigdha Vallabhaneni, M.D., attributed this to an over-reporting of condom use. "Serosorting itself is twice as risky as not having unprotected anal sex. But it has a 38% risk reduction when compared to having no strategy at all -- so it may be a harm reduction strategy for those engaging in the highest risk behavior," Vallabhaneni told TheBodyPRO.com.
At the XIX International AIDS Conference, HIV advocate Jeff Taylor met with Jacob P. Lalezari, M.D., the director of Quest Clinical Research, to talk about the coupled optimism and cautiousness regarding the search for an HIV cure.
During the interview, Lalezari explains each of the primary paths being explored toward the development of a cure, while describing the progress that has been made to date -- as well as some of the challenges the field still faces.
This year's CROI was typical in that it featured many noteworthy presentations highlighting new research on HIV drugs in development, the treatment of HIV/HCV coinfection, metabolic complications and malignancies for people living with HIV. Jeff Berry, editor of Positively Aware, sat down with HIV researchers Cal Cohen, M.D., and Richard Ellion, M.D., to get their perspectives on the breaking research.
While people who lack CCR5 receptors on their CD4+ cells are typically immune to most forms of HIV, these rare individuals can actually become infected.
A group of researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona identified an individual with CCR5 mutation who had been infected by a CXCR4-tropic virus, which is a strain of HIV that enters CD4 cells via the CXCR4 receptor instead of the typical CCR5 receptor.
HIV and wellness expert Nelson Vergel wrote about the CROI 2012 poster that spotlighted this discovery.
