1. Scope
This data protection declaration shall apply to all websites and games operated by Infernum and is oriented to the users of this offer ("Users").
Insofar as other websites of Infernum have a deviating data protection declaration this shall apply. Websites of third parties are also excluded from the scope to which the offer possibly refers by so-called links or which are connected with the offer of Infernum by Connect Services ("connected websites"). Infernum does not assume any responsibility for their contents or the compliance with the data protection. For this reason the Users should read the data protection declarations of linked websites and offers carefully.
2. Data categories and collection of data
Infernum makes every effort to constantly optimise its products and services. For this purpose Infernum would like to understand the interests and wishes of its Users better. For this purpose Infernum collects personal data of its Users.
2.1 Personal data
Personal data are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a certain or definable natural person. These include e.g. name, postal address, telephone number, etc.
Information which the User mentions towards other users about the offer of Infernum can also represent personal data.
2.2 Special types of personal data
Infernum does not collect any data which gives details of the racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical convictions, affiliation to a union, health or sexual life unless the User discloses these voluntarily himself in his communication with Infernum.
2.3 Stock data
Infernum collects personal data insofar as they are necessary for the substantiation, contextual design or change to the contractual relationship between Infernum and the respective user concerning the use of the offer of Infernum (so-called stock data).
The according necessary data shall be collected for the processing of payments. Such data (insofar as necessary or applicable: Direct debit procedure: Account holder, account number, bank/payment by credit card: Card holder, card company, card number, expiry date) will be collected either by Infernum or directly by the involved payment service provider.
2.4 Use data
Infernum shall collect and use data of a User insofar as this is necessary in order to enable the use and if applicable settlement of the offer (use data). Use data are in particular features for the identification of the User, details about the start and end, the scope of the respective use and details about the products and services used by the User as well as technical data of the used device (e.g. type or identification numbers).
3. Use of data
Infernum shall only collect and process personal data of Users insofar as Infernum assumes that this reasonably serves the lawful business purpose and the personal data were notified voluntarily by the User (e.g. in forms or otherwise on the offer operated by Infernum in electronic or other communication or through the registration with the offer via social networks). Decisive hereby for Infernum is the aim of the product and service optimisation in the interest of the Users.
3.1 Data transmission and recording for internal system and statistical purposes
In addition to the user inputs information (use data) are possibly also automatically recorded by the system of Infernum during the visit to the offer of Infernum. These among others include data such as the browser type, the browser language, the geographical origin of the User, the date as well as the time of the visit, the access time or the address of the visited sites, possibly the IP address of the User and the domains from which the User accesses the offer of Infernum as well as technical data of the used device.
IP addresses serve the purpose of the clear identification of the computers which are connected with the Internet. The location of the computer can also be derived from this. The IP address is transmitted with each server enquiry so that the server knows where the answer has to be sent to. The IP address is allocated to each user of an Internet-Service-Provider (ISP) as soon as he connects with the Internet. The ISP can understand which IP address at which time was allocated to which of its customers. As long as the IP address is stored there is the theoretical possibility to determine the identity of the connection holder via the detour of the ISP. Infernum stores the IP address of the User which he enters with his registration, when logging in, when placing an order as well as in the event of the deactivation of the user account. Infernum uses it to recognise the session and for the defence again attacks.
3.2 Analysis of offers
The offer of Infernum uses among others Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "Cookies", text files, which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of the use of the offer by the User. The information about the use of the offer by the User generated by the cookie (including his IP address) is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. Google shall use this information in order to evaluate the use of the offer of Infernum, in order to compile reports about the activities of Users on the offer for Infernum as operator and in order to provide further services associated with the use and the Internet use. Google shall also if applicable transmit this information to third parties insofar as this is stipulated by law or insofar as third parties process these data by order of Google. Google will in no way connect the IP address of a User with other data of Google. Users can prevent the installation of the cookies by a corresponding setting of the browser software; Infernum however points out to the Users that in this case Users can if applicable not use all functions of the offer of Infernum in full. By using the offer of Infernum Users declare that they agree with the processing of the data collected about them by Google in the manner described above and for the afore-mentioned purpose. The Users can object to the collection and use of their IP address by Google Analytics (more detailed information in this respect under: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Infernum points out to its Users on the offer of Infernum Google Analytics was extended by the code offered by Google "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to guarantee an anonymisation of the collected IP addresses."
3.3 Shopping analysis
Infernum will possibly record, store and evaluate which actions Users carry out within the offer of Infernum. This in particular comprises the contents of the placed order, the time of order or the chosen payment type (e.g. payment by credit card). For this purpose Infernum also uses special programmes.
Statistical data shall only be compared with the personal data of Users if this is necessary for preventing or detecting infringements of rights and unlawful conduct. Should Infernum determine that a User breaches its contractual duties Infernum explicitly reserves the right to merge the IP address or other technical attributes of the User with other data which are available at Infernum about this User in order to be able to inform the User of his breach. The information shall incidentally be exclusively be evaluated anonymously and then deleted again at regular intervals. The statistics help Infernum to improve the service of the offers of Infernum and the products and services of Infernum.
3.4 Cookies
Infernum uses "Cookies".
A cookie contains information which are sent from the offer to the browser of the User; this subsequently stores the information on its system. If Cookies are used the websites of Infernum can note information about the User and his settings either until the User closes the actual browser window (with "Session Cookies") or until the User has deactivates or deletes the cookie or until the useful life of the cookie expires. Infernum in particular uses cookies in the constellations described below.
3.4.1 Session Cookies
If registered or non-registered Users access the offer of Infernum via one of the websites of the offer of Infernum the webserver of Infernum automatically sends a session cookie to the browser of the User which facilitates it the navigation on the offer of Infernum. These session cookies contain a reference value as information with which the software of Infernum can determine which site should be displayed if the User clicks on the button "back" in his browser. When the offer of Infernum is called by a registered User a cookie is set for the connection in order to state that the User was authenticated. In addition, the user ID, which is allocated to each User by Infernum, the Shop-ID and the actual contents of the shopping basket (Order ID) are allocated to a certain User. Further the actual language and country setting is stored. The session cookie is deleted as soon as the User logs out. If the User goes to the offer via a business partner the webserver of Infernum also sends a session cookie to the browser of the User that contains an origin code for this business partner. Infernum uses these data for statistics and marketing purposes.
3.4.2 Other cookies
Incidentally Infernum uses cookies with the use of the services on the offer by Users. In this respect Infernum uses so-called non-expiring cookies, whose useful life is not limited. In case of registered Users the cookies also store the User ID. Non-registered Users are recognised again by the cookie with subsequent visits.
If the User registers at Infernum or completes a form he can select via his browser settings whether the offer should send a cookie to his local hard drive (insofar as his browser is not set to the extent that he automatically always allows such cookies). The User can however deactivate it at all times via his browser settings. Should the User not accept this type of cookie he can nevertheless use the offer of Infernum. If he accepts this type of cookie it saves him time as the completion of forms and/or renewed visits to the offer cease to apply. Even if the User has accepted this type of cookie he can set in his browser at all times that he should receive a notification if a cookie is sent to him. Thus, the User always has the possibility to decide whether he would like to accept or refuse the cookie.
3.5 Contractual relationship
Infernum uses personal data of Users insofar as this is necessary to establish, execute or terminate a legally binding debt relationship or a debt relationship which is similar to a legal transaction with the respective Users. This is among others the case if Users would like to use the products and services of Infernum through the offer of Infernum.
3.5.1 Substantiation
Within the framework of the use of the offer of Infernum both the simple transmission of certain personal data by the User (e.g. in certain forms) as well as the registration of a User for the use of the offer of Infernum and/or of the products and services of Infernum in electronic or other communication may be necessary.
Infernum makes it possible for its users to register with Infernum among others via the Facebook Connect Service, the Google ID procedure or the Open ID procedure used by Yahoo. The basic details from the Facebook or Google profile of the User are transmitted to Infernum hereby at the request of the User of Facebook or Google so that these can be used for keeping the user account. These include among others the name, the profile photo and the profile information of the User as well as the names and the profile photos of the friends of the User.
In case of certain products and services through the offer of Infernum it may be necessary for Infernum to compare some data of the registration of the User with databases of third parties or another source of information of third parties. The identity of the User and other attributes can be checked hereby and it thus ensured that the identity of the User is not used improperly.
3.5.2 Execution
Insofar as it is necessary for carrying out the contractual relationship between Infernum and the respective users Infernum shall use personal data of Users e.g. for the transmission or provision of products or services within the framework of the concluded use contract and for the possibilities for use associated with the use contract (e.g. support, etc.).
In addition, corresponding data are also used in order to draw attention to interferences to functions or an abuse of the offer operated by Infernum.
Infernum is entitled to forward user data to service providers commissioned with collecting the fee for the payment processing insofar as this is necessary for determining the fee and for the settlement with the User.
Infernum is further entitled to make user data available to third parties to whom receivables of Infernum against users of Infernum have been assigned insofar as this is necessary for collecting the receivable. Infernum shall inform the User about the names of the third parties.
In case Infernum cooperates with third parties for the provision of the services Infernum shall oblige these to comply with the applicable data protection provisions and to guarantee sufficient data protection.
Should the operation of the whole offer or a part of the offer or a product or a service of Infernum, for which the user(s) have registered be assigned to a third party in full or in part (e.g. individual language versions) Infernum is entitled to hand the personal data of the Users over to this for the further operation of the offer or the product or the service.
3.5.3 Integration of functions of social networks
Infernum uses functions of social networks, among others so-called Plug-Ins of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA ("Facebook"). If users call websites of the online offer of Infernum which are fitted with such a function a connection can be established to the servers of the social network and hereby the function be presented on the website by a notification to the browser of the respective User. It can be transmitted to the server of the respective social network hereby which of the websites were visited by the User. If the User is logged in as member of the corresponding social network this can possibly allocate the information to the personal user account of the User with this social network. When using the functions (e.g. clicking of a Facebook I like button, submission of a comment) this information can be allocated to the user account of the respective User at the social network, which the User can as a rule prevent by logging out before using the function. More detailed information concerning the collection and use of data by the operator of a social network and concerning the rights of the User as well as possibilities for the protection of the privacy of the User can be found in the data protection instructions of the respective social network.
3.5.4 Payment processing
Infernum is entitled to forward user data to a commissioned service provider for the payment processing. Infernum cooperates among others with Nextidea GmbH with registered seat in Münster. Insofar as Users provide credit card data to Infernum for the payment in the real time process the credit card numbers are used exclusively for the payment processing and no other purposes. Infernum can use the services of a provider for fraud management for the payment processing in order to create an increased degree of security against fraud for the benefit of the Users and Infernum and to promote the protection of financial information.
3.5.5 Termination
Infernum also uses personal data of the respective persons concerned in the course of the termination of the contractual relationship with a User insofar as this is necessary for the processing of the debt relationship. This can for example comprise the compensation of a still outstanding balance.
3.6 Communication
User data can be used within the framework of communication. Infernum shall also comply with its standards set in this data protection declaration hereby.
3.6.1 User enquiries
Infernum shall process personal data with enquiries of Users for the purpose of the answer.
Infernum archives correspondence with Users with the aim of improving the products and services as well as the offer of Infernum and for own business purposes.
3.6.2 Surveys
Infernum shall occasionally request Users to provide data within the framework of surveys. The User is at liberty to decide whether he would like to provide corresponding information and consents to the collection and processing of these data. The survey data are used for monitoring and improving the offer, the products and services as well as for improving the offer of services of Infernum.
3.6.3 Communication between Users through the offer
Some information among others the communication between Users about offers of Infernum can also be visible for other Users of the offer of Infernum. Infernum recommends Users to handle their data carefully and sparingly as well as to carefully weigh up what and with whom the User communicates.
The communication about the offer of Infernum is as a rule not subject to any control of the contents by Infernum. Nevertheless, Infernum reserves the right to delete entries at its own discretion and to exclude Users from the further use in particular if entries satisfy factual elements which are relevant under criminal law or are not compatible with the aims of Infernum.
3.7 Advertising, market and opinion research
In addition to the degree which is admissible according to the statutory regulations Infernum shall only collect, process and use personal data of Users for purposes of advertising and/or purposes of market and opinion research insofar as the respective User has explicitly previously consented to a collection, processing and use for purposes of the market and opinion research or to a processing and use for purposes of advertising.
3.7.1 Information about own offers by e-mail
Insofar as the User of Infernum have granted their consent to the processing and use of the e-mail address entered by them Infernum shall send the requested information to the respective Users mostly in the form of newsletters.
Infernum at least requires the e-mail address of the User for sending newsletters or other information via e-mail ("Newsletter-Service").
Details beyond this within the framework of the Newsletter-Service are voluntary and shall be used in order to address the respective Users personally and if applicable to be able to clarify queries.
If the User has provided his e-mail address to Infernum within the framework of his existing customers relations then information about Infernum or about those services can be sent to him by e-mail which are similar to those services which already used at Infernum. The User can revoke his consent in this respect in writing at all times (e.g. by e-mail) without costs being incurred for this apart from the costs for sending the objection (concerning the basic tariffs). The User will be given the possibility to reject the receipt of further information and to send a corresponding objection in each information sent by Infernum and in each newsletter.
3.7.2 Information about offers of third parties
Infernum may make it possible for third parties to contact Users for advertising purposes if the User has consented hereto. As long as the respective User does not object hereto User data can also be used in order to send such advertising messages to the User which correspond with his interests (based on the information which the User sent to Infernum and on his acts within the offer operated by Infernum).
3.7.3 Market research
Infernum can use information stored about Users for internal surveys about demography, user interests and user behaviour. This use is carried out anonymised. For purposes of the advertising and market research Infernum can evaluate information about Users in an anonymised and aggregated form. If and insofar as Infernum uses User data for creating user profiles it shall discontinue their use if this is objected to by the respective Users.
3.8 Data transmission to third parties
Infernum is entitled to transmit personal data of Users for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration to other members states of the European Union or within the European Economic Area and to store these. A forwarding of data to countries outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area is carried out exclusively based on the consent of the Users.
Infernum shall not unlawfully transmit personal data of Users to third parties. The regulations of Subclause 3.5.2 [Execution of contract – payment service provider among others], 3.5.4., 3.7.2, 3.8 and 6.2 [Right to information of third parties] remain unaffected.
4. Data integrity and security
Infernum will make an effort to achieve a degree of accuracy of the stored personal data of Users which corresponds with the actual standards. Precautionary measures will be taken on the part of Infernum by the fact that individuals can receive access to the stored personal data of Users within a reasonable framework in order to check, if applicable to correct or to anonymise, to block or to delete these data. There is in addition the possibility for our users within the framework of the offer of Infernum to independently view and/or to change the data transmitted by them after authentication.
The protection of personal data, which Infernum has received from Users of the offer of Infernum is an important part of the corporate philosophy of Infernum. Infernum protects personal data of the Users of the offer of Infernum against loss, abuse and change by security measures of a physical, technical and administrative type.
As with all transmissions of data via the Internet there also remains a residual risk however when sending and receiving personal data. Infernum tries to minimise this risk by the fact that Infernum encodes the data sent by the users of the offer of Infernum with orders of products and services or the use of the offer of Infernum (partly) with the help of the Secure Socket Layer-Protocol (SSL).
Infernum points out to Users that despite the high demands of Infernum from the data protection all information which a User releases voluntarily via the Internet, can potentially also be used by others. For this reason Infernum not assume any responsibility or liability for the disclosure of information owing to faults with the data transmission and/or unauthorised access by third parties.
5. Rights of the Users
According to the statutory provisions each User has a right to correction, blocking and deletion of his personal data. Insofar as a change or deletion is not carried out by the User himself Infernum and the data protection officer of Infernum shall be pleased to be available for corresponding applications at the address stated at the end of this data protection declaration. Infernum will change or delete the personal data accordingly as soon as possible. Infernum points out that owing to technical and organisational conditions it may be possible that several measures are still carried out even after the request for change or deletion which were already started however were not yet carried out in full after Users informed Infernum about the request for deletion. Infernum likewise points out that a deletion of User data however is only possible if this is not opposed by any legal regulations, in particular with regard to data for settlement-related and/or accounting purposes.
Each User is at liberty at all times to object to the processing and use of his personal data for purposes of advertising or the market and opinion research. In particular Users can object to the use of their e-mail address for the receipt of newsletters and/or information of Infernum at all times without other costs incurred to the Users for this purpose than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Infernum will clearly point out their right to objection to its Users both when collecting the e-mail address as well as with each use in newsletters or other information.
Infernum as well as the data protection officer of Infernum will be available for corresponding applications or notifications of Users at the address stated at the end of this data protection declaration.
6. Information
Both the Users as well as third parties as correspondingly entitled to the provision of information with regard to the data collected and stored by Infernum.
Infernum is entitled to provide information in certain individual cases or obliged to provide such information towards the responsible authorities owing to statutory regulations.
6.1 Right to information of the Users
Upon request of a User Infernum shall provide information free of charge about all personal data stored by Infernum relating to him. This information is principally transmitted in an electronic form (by e-mail). Enquiries are to be addressed to the address stated at the end of this data protection declaration.
Should the User take advantage of this possibility for the provision of information via e-mail the stated e-mail address (both sender as well as recipient) will not be used for any other purposes than those for the provision of information and its documentation.
6.2 Right to information of third parties
Infernum can be entitled to provide information towards third parties about personal data of the Users of the offer of Infernum in an individual case. Infernum reserves the right to use its right in this respect to provide information in the individual case after detailed examination and carefully weighing up the facts.
Should Infernum be legally obliged to forward its data to local, state, national or international authorities Infernum shall comply with this obligation.
Further Infernum shall disclose data towards third parties if this is requested by applicable laws and regulations.
In addition, Infernum can disclose information in order to examine or prevent illegal activities or a suspicion of fraud or to initiate corresponding counter-measures or in order to asset or apply the contracts and licence rights of Infernum.
7. Collection, validity and actuality of the data protection declaration
With the use of the offer and the thus associated services of Infernum Users consent to the use of data as described above.
This data protection declaration is currently valid in the version 1.0 of 09.12.2011.
8. Change to the data protection declaration
Infernum reserves the right to change this data protection declaration at all times, however Infernum shall always comply with the respective applicable laws concerning data protection. Infernum recommends to inform oneself with each visit to the websites and the offer of Infernum about the actual data protection declaration.

In Monday's Business: The 2013 40 Under Forty!
January 26. 2013 7:23PM
In tomorrow's pages of Monday's Business, we will introduce readers to 40 young people who are helping make New Hampshire a better place to live. They are the 25 men and 15 women chosen for this year's class of the New Hampshire Union Leader's "40 Under Forty." This is the 12th year that the newspaper has presented the program, in concert with the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire. This year's awards are presented under the sponsorship of Citizens Bank.
Those chosen for the honor are policemen, teachers, doctors, attorneys and many others who have donated thousands of hours to charitable causes.
Their giving natures, chiefly, are the reason that this year's class of "40 Under Forty" has been selected from all the nominations received. The criteria for selection include that the person cannot turn 40 by Feb. 1, has lived in New Hampshire at least three years, and is helping to make New Hampshire a better place to live. They were nominated by family, friends, co-workers and themselves and culled by our judges to the 40 people you will read about tomorrow.
Meet them when you read tomorrow's paper.

Another Weare police suit settled
By DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
Weare police officers to wear body cameras on patrol
— The last civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court against Weare police and the town over recording interactions with police has reached a financial settlement, to go with a written apology and the promise of change from the police chief.
Two Free State members and a Libertarian Party resident claimed their First Amendment rights were violated when they were arrested for recording interactions with Weare police officers on duty.
In addition to an undisclosed monetary settlement, Weare Police Chief John D. Velleca provided a written apology to Weare resident William Alleman, who had maintained he was exercising his First Amendment rights when he videotaped his interaction with Officer Brandon Montplaisir during a traffic stop in July 2011.
Alleman was arrested the following February for felony wiretapping in connection with the incident, but a Circuit Court judge dismissed the charge against him. Alleman then filed his lawsuit in U.S. District Court.
Two other Free State members, Carla Gericke and William Rodriguez, also had filed suit in connection with similar incidents involving Weare police. Those suits were settled previously.
The New Hampshire suits cite the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in August 2011 that Boston police violated the rights of attorney Simon Glik when they arrested him for taping the arrest of a man on Boston Common and charged him with felony wiretapping.
The court said the First Amendment protects the right of citizens to tape the actions of police in a public place, and the Fourth Amendment protects against false arrests, and those rules apply in New Hampshire.
Concord attorney Seth Hipple, whose firm of Martin & Hipple represented Alleman, said: "We were perfectly prepared to present our case to the jury."
But the real goal was to obtain an acknowledgement that the police behavior was wrong and to find a way to bring about change. The settlement does that, said Hipple.
In addition to the written apology, he said: The money is a way to bring about a change."
The town has had its insurance premiums hiked dramatically as a result of the financial payouts by its insurance company on lawsuits.
Velleca said Tuesday that there is one more lawsuit pending, this one against him rather than the previous chief.
Shortly after Velleca started his job last November, he fired Sgt. Joseph Kelley for allegedly violating department policies and procedures. Kelley, who was cleared of any wrongdoing in connection with the fatal shooting of an unarmed suspected drug dealer, who was shot in the back of the head as he fled a botched drug buy sting. Kelley had gone on leave, claiming post traumatic stress disorder as a result of being present.
Kelley had not fired the fatal shot.
The settlement of a lawsuit by the parents of the Manchester man who was killed resulted in a $300,000 payment by the town's insurer to the parents, who live in Puerto Rico.Change in the Weare Police Department began when elected police Chief Gregory Begin retired May 30, 2013, and Officer Lt. James Carney, who had been placed on administrative leave by selectmen in March 2013, for allegedly violating departmental polices, retired July 1, 2013.Velleca, who was hired by selectmen, had retired in 2011 as acting police chief in New Haven, Conn. He said Tuesday that he has made significant changes since his arrival. Among them is ensuring members of the department, all full-time officers now, are "very rights conscious."
Velleca's plan to equip officers with body cameras, worn on the chest and recording audio as well as video, is part of ensuring that, and he hopes to have the officers wearing the cameras within a month. "We're still working on that. We're really tweaking and adjusting the policy."
The cameras will provide evidence, not only of what the officers are seeing and hearing, but also of what they are saying and doing. "You should never fear your police department," said Velleca.
That video and audio evidence will be kept in the new evidence room.
"We're upgrading our evidence room," he said, making it secure, which was questionable before.
It's part of making sure Weare police are meeting industry standards, along with making the officers all full-time, using body cameras and focusing on ensuring citizens' rights as well as enforcing laws.
"This is a town that's rooted in tradition," said Velleca. He acknowledged that there is a trust issue regarding Weare police and conceded: "It's going to take a while and consistency" to rebuild trust.
Among the ways to help in addressing the issue of trust has been through the creation of a new web site. Velleca gives major credit for the new site to administrative assistant Jennifer Postero.
"We tried to make it kind of user friendly," he said, including a graph showing the officers activities each month. The most recent month posted online is May, but Velleca said June statistics should be posted within a few days.
The site also offers residents an opportunity for submitting feedback, including forms to complement officers, or to file complaints.

Report on the 2nd International Workshop on Adverse Drug Reactions and Lipodystrophy
Toronto, Canada
Winter 2000
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!
While the issue of long-term complications associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) seems more confusing than ever, some progress is being made. That progress, however, points to the complexity of these problems. This was the second international meeting focusing on lipodystrophy, or body fat and metabolism changes, in people on anti-HIV therapy. While last year's conference highlighted the association of fat loss, or lipoatrophy, with the syndrome of mitochondrial toxicity and a possible relationship to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), this year's meeting added decreased bone mineral density, or osteopenia, to the list of therapy-related problems.
As the list of complications apparently related to anti-HIV therapy increases, so does the complexity of the field and the material presented at this meeting. It is becoming clear that there are probably multiple causes of the above complications. Different individuals are also at significantly different risk based on gender, age, weight, and possibly most important, genetic factors.
The Syndrome Formerly Known as "Lipodystrophy"The major metabolic complications possibly linked to HAART include:
Mitochondria and Lactic AcidThe mitochondria are the energy-producing units in the cell. When they are not working correctly, the cell switches to energy-producing pathways that don't require the presence of oxygen, which results in excess production of lactic acid. A major challenge is that it is not easy to study mitochondria. A biopsy must be performed and the tissue examined by electron microscopy. A few studies were presented that examined fat tissue from people with fat loss, and the results suggest an association of fat loss and mitochondrial toxicity, but much more work needs to be done. Other studies were presented attempting to look at the various NRTIs in the test tube to measure for mitochondrial toxicity, but no standard doses were used and nothing conclusive can be drawn about the relative potential of each NRTI to cause mitochondrial toxicity.
Routine measurement of lactic acid levels in people on HAART is not currently recommended. This is partly due to the fact that a substantial number of people on HAART have slightly elevated lactic acid levels without any associated clinical problems. Some studies have shown that there may be an association between elevated serum lactic acid levels and elevations in blood lipid levels. To date, though, it has not been shown that increased lactic acid causes increased blood lipid levels.
Switch StudiesWilliam Powderly presented a summary of "switch studies." These studies ask the questions: Is there a benefit to switching from a protease inhibitor (PI) based regimen to a non-PI regimen? And if so, is it safe? The answer to the second question is almost uniformly Yes, it is safe, unless someone has had extensive prior anti-HIV therapy with some drug resistance. However, while it appears that switching the PI to Viramune (nevirapine) will lower blood triglyceride levels, the changes in cholesterol are less impressive. Also, switching to a non-PI-containing regimen also results in increased sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that helps lower blood sugar, which is beneficial.
It is not at all clear that the fat loss or gain is significantly altered when a PI is replaced by a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Studies that evaluated fat changes with special x-rays and scans demonstrated little change in body fat. Substitution of Zerit with another NRTI may reverse some of the peripheral fat loss, but longer follow-up is necessary to answer this very important question. Powderly concluded with a recommendation for more long-term, or longitudinal studies, and more randomized trials. The justification for supporting more randomized trials, where half the group would switch and half would stay on their current regimen, is that we do not know the long-term natural history of any of these metabolic complications. Thus, when someone reports on changes observed in 8 of 10 people, all who switched to a new HAART regimen, it is not known which changes were due to the switch, and which may have occurred without any therapy change.
Data from animal models showed that the loss of fat itself induces further metabolic changes, particularly elevations in triglycerides. Laboratory studies were also presented that demonstrated that PIs may interfere with some human proteases involved in controlling blood lipid levels. Similarly, laboratory studies were presented that showed that PIs make cells less sensitive to insulin, which is not beneficial.
Mineral Density In the BonesData presented on osteopenia, decreased bone mineral density, showed that while there are decreases in some people on HAART containing PIs, there are also decreases in some people on non-PI-containing regimens, as well as in HIV-positive people not on any therapy. Also, there seems to be an association with weight loss and osteopenia. However, the amount of time on HAART did not correlate with the degree of osteopenia. While there was some laboratory data presented that showed the PIs may interfere with vitamin D metabolism, and possibly decrease bone mineral density in this way, the clinical data does not yet support this as a direct cause.
Human Growth Hormone as TreatmentThere were two small studies of using human growth hormone (HGH) in an attempt to decrease fat accumulation. Both these studies involved few people, and they were not randomized. HGH is very expensive and at higher doses can increase insulin resistance, and even result in diabetes. Since many people on HAART already have increased insulin resistance, there is a danger that HGH would worsen that condition. However, in a small study of lower dose HGH (4mg every other day), some increases in muscle mass and decreases in abdominal fat were observed, but less than at the previously studied higher doses. Additionally, though, there were still some increases in blood glucose (sugar) observed. So it still remains unclear what role HGH will have, if any, in the treatment of fat accumulation, although a larger randomized trial of lower dose HGH in people without evidence of insulin resistance may be helpful to address this question.

Spring Training Miscellany: Cubs 7, Mariners 4 – March 21, 2013
Writing a game recap type thing in the wee hours of the morning is getting me thinking about doing Enhanced Box Scores for West Coast games … and I'm getting excited for the season.
- Jeff Samardzija pitched adequately as he tunes up for the season, facing a mostly-regular Mariners lineup (which is like a mostly-bench other team lineup). He allowed nine hits and three earned runs in his six innings of work, but he struck out seven, walking none. I'll take that. Combine that with Scott Feldman's start earlier in the day, and that's 11 innings of starter work without a single walk.
- Samardzija got the Cubs' bats going with a homer of his own – his second of the Spring. Extrapolating that, Samardzija's going to have about 20 homers this year. Neat.
- It is completely meaningless, but I'm going to point it out anyway: when Dale Sveum went James Russell, Kyuji Fujikawa, and Carlos Marmol over the last three innings, he had Russell in the seventh as you'd expect … but he put Marmol in the 8th and Fujikawa in the 9th. Again: totally meaningless. But, I mean, it happened.
- All three threw a scoreless frame, by the way, with only Fujikawa allowing a hit (two of 'em), and only Marmol allowing a walk (1 of 'em).
- Alfonso Soriano hit his fourth homer of the Spring, so he's on target to repeat his 2012 season: which is to say, a surprisingly cool April after a hot March, but then a dominant May through September.
- Brad Nelson also homered, and he's fixing to see some regular time at first base for AAA Iowa, if the Cubs see fit to keep him.
- Alberto Gonzalez had a hit and a walk in four plate appearances, as he tries to surprise and win a bench job. He also had a throwing error.
- Javier Baez went 1-4 with a single.

Capacity: 30,000
Opened: 2012
• Opened on 14 November 2012 with a friendly between Sweden and England, the Frends Arena (named after an anti-bullying campaign) is the successor to the nearby Råsunda as the national stadium.
• The venue boasts a retractable roof which allows it to become a 67,500-capacity indoor concert hall.
• Both the Swedish men's national team and men's club AIK are moving there from the Råsunda, with other events at the Friends Arena to include the Swedish Cup final, the Swedish Bandy Championship, the Scandinavian FIM Speedway Grand Prix and Sweden's Eurovision qualifier.
• The new arena will be the setting for the UEFA Women's EURO 2013 final on 28 July. Visiting the stadium prior to the draw, UEFA President Michel Plaini said: "I was delighted to be invited to visit the fantastic new stadium in Solna. The state-of-the-art Friends Arena is a great investment in Swedish football. The decision by the Swedish Football Association to host the UEFA Women's EURO final at this stadium shows the commitment it has to the tournament."
• Solna itself is a municipality to the north of Stockholm, home to around 60,000 people.

It seems to me that the difficulty of the text is something akin to transmission errors in telecommunications[1]. At the end of Cassandra's final speech, the last few lines are obscure and the obscurity passes over into the first four lines of the following Chorus. Then suddenly on line 1335 everything becomes marvelously readable. This looks like a corrupted packet of transmission which crosses a boundary between Casandra's last words and the Chorus.
It could be that textual corruption became more probable when the message became semantically ambiguous and this corruption over time lead to more corruption in attempts to restore meaning to the text. All of this is of course subjective. No telling why I suddenly started understanding with little difficulty at line 1335, after about 8-10 lines of fog.

Dear Editor:
It's disappointing to hear that Hoboken's City Council hasn't approved new members for the Zoning Board of Adjustments. I was a Commissioner for the Board this past year and heard a variety of applications from both large developers and individual home owners. I was appointed by City Council as a third alternate, meaning I was only able to vote when three other commissioners were unable to do so. Three members of the board completed their terms at the end of 2012 but, because of gridlock in city council, none of them were replaced for the new year. The Zoning Board was already burdened by an overload of applications and the lack of replacement members caused a strain on scheduling. It had become all-hands-on-deck.
Unfortunately, due to my financial circumstances, I had to move to Jersey City in April after spending 17 years as a Hoboken resident. I'm sorry to have had to leave the board with a fourth vacancy, but feel there should never have been three vacancies in the first place. The people of Hoboken deserve to have a full board of Zoning Commissioners to argue for or against the numerous variances that are being applied for. When the board is unable to reach a quorum it wastes money and time. While a case could be made that a slow down in development is a benefit to the city, I believe that applicants deserve to be heard in a reasonable amount of time from a fully staffed board. I hope the Council will appoint new members soon.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: A push for the return of hometown radio daysBY MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2014 9:11PM
The 2000 Coen Brothers movie gem "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" includes an insightful scene when the faltering politician, Pappy O'Daniel, passes up a chance to press the flesh with the main characters.
"We ain't one-at-a-timin' here," Pappy says as he hurries into a tiny radio station. "We're mass communicatin'. "
Those were the halcyon days of radio, when the electromagnetic spectrum reigned over communication like the Internet does today.
And anyone — including musicians and dramatists — could mass communicate at the local radio stations. That cooling ember of radio nostalgia is being fanned by Manchester resident Rob Azevedo.
For an hour each week, he does his best to mass communicate the music that is being played and sung in our proverbial backyard.
Every Thursday, he hosts "Granite State of Mind" on WNHN-FM 94.7, a low-powered station located in the second-floor, walk-up studio just off Main Street in Concord.
The show is an on-air open mic show that welcomes local musicians, writers, comedians, entertainers and just about anyone who wants to be heard.
"There's only so many times you can hear Hootie & the Blowfish or The Eagles without losing your mind," said Azevedo, a 44-year-old whose full-time job is a salesman for a home health care company.
That salesmanship came across during an hour of banter and performance last Thursday night.
He gets folksy with Dusty Gray, a blues/country musician who lives up the street, to talk about his plans to pack it all up for Nashville.
He gets Jasmine Mann, a Manchester folk singer, to talk about being on food stamps.
And he gives Steven Guerrera, the bass player for the acoustic trio Far From Close, time to explain why his instrument lacks frets but has two extra strings.
"Rob is a wonderful man, welcoming. He truly cares about everyone," said Mann, who plays open mic in area clubs. A repeat performer, Mann found out about the show through an ad on Craigslist.
What's obvious about the hour is how laid back everything is. The carpeting is old, the studio walls are painted olive, and the electronic equipment — all full of nobs and plastic-topped switches — harken to those golden years of analog radio.
Station manager Brian Beihl said Azevedo's show represents what radio started as — a place where musicians could perform and maybe get recognized."That is the roots of radio," Beihl said. "For some of the larger commercial stations, they don't do that anymore."
He also said Azevedo's show draws a crowd that wouldn't otherwise tune into the station format of jazz, blues and progressive talk. (The WNHN signal barely reaches the North End of Manchester, but the station streams online, and its shows are podcast.)
For his part, Azevedo would love to see a low-powered FM in his own city. He envisions it in an Elm Street storefront, with a window the looks out on the street.
That might not be out of the realm of possibility. Last year, 23 New Hampshire organizations asked the FCC for low-powered FM licenses. Two were from Manchester, although Azevedo's show may not easily mesh with the applicants — St. Joseph Catholic Family Center and an offshoot of Manchester Community Television.
Beihl said the FCC has encouraged more low-power FM to counter the consolidation of commercial radio, where corporate interests control programming and often eliminate anything local.
But Beihl said the FCC moves at a slow pace. Don't expect more radio stations opening anytime soon.
So Azevedo will remain in Concord for awhile.
For him, it's another outlet for a guy who pushes his creativity to the limit. He also freelances for the Boston Globe and directs and produces films. His short film won the Outstanding New Hampshire Film Award at the 2013 SNOB Film Festival.
Once a week, he said, the show gives him a different identity. Turn on the microphone, and he's not a father of two or a salesman.
He's mass communicatin'.
"We all want to perform in one aspect or another," Azevedo said. "We all get something out of it. That's for sure."

Today's EPL schedule served up three mouth-watering matches: First place Manchester United against second place Manchester City (last season's champions, with Man U as runner-up); fourth place Tottenham against sixth place Everton; and tenth place West Ham against twelfth place (but clearly better than that) Liverpool. Each match turned out to be a gem.
Manchester City dominated the early play against their old enemy, but its attacks kept breaking down, thanks mainly to poor play by Mario Balotelli, the talented knucklehead City manager Roberto Mancini oddly elected to start at center forward. City paid the price when Wayne Rooney scored a pair of first half goals for visiting United.
The match turned when Mancini finally replaced Balotelli with Carlos Tevez after 52 minutes. City scored just 8 minutes later and therefter pressed persistently for the equalizer. It came in the 86th minute on a rocket from Pablo Zabaleta.
City remained on the front foot as the match headed into "stoppage time." But United won a free kick and Robin Van Persie, with the help of a very slight deflection, planted it in the City net for an improbable game winner in the 92nd minute.
With this win, United moves six points ahead of City, atop the Premier League. But City is out of European competition, while United, still alive in the Champions League, will have to cope with an overload of tough matches as the season progresses.
Liverpool also left it late, but not as late, in their 3-2 win at West Ham. Missing their star player, the cheating Luis Suarez, due to a suspension, the Shite found themselves down 2-1 with only a quarter of an hour remaining.
But after West Ham's star defensive midfielder Mohamed Diame had to be replaced due to injury, Joe Cole, one-time West Ham (and England) "starlet" but now a seldom used Liverpool reserve, struck a venomous equalizer (to quote Soccernet) in the 76th minute. And three minutes later, West Ham defender James Collins, under pressure from the impressive, bullish Jonjo Shelvey, scored an own-goal that proved to be the game-winner.
The victory, in a match as hotly contested as the Manchester derby, pulls Liverpool into tenth place, one spot ahead of West Ham. Look for Liverpool to continue to climb. And let's hope that West Ham, some of whose fans engaged in anti-semitic chanting last month, continues to fall. However, off of today's performance, and assuming Diame's injury isn't serious, I'm not counting on it.
Playing at home against the red hot Spurs of Tottenham, Everton was well on its way to another dominating but futile performance as the game entered the 90th minute. Spurs led 1-0 thanks to a deflected strike from American star Clint Dempsey.
But Seamus Coleman made a fine run down the right flank and ex-Spur (briefly, in between excellent stints with us) Steven Pienaar scored on a header that America goalkeeper Brad Freidl might have saved had Tottenham selected him.
With just stoppage time remaining, it now looked like we would draw our eighth match in the last 10. But two minutes into the four added ones, Nikica Jelavic, the goal poacher we've been waiting years for, pounced on a loose ball in the penalty and nicked home the winner.
The win moves Everton into fourth place, albeit only on goal difference. That's Champions League territory, though it's premature to think in those terms. And I can't avoid the thought that, but for some poor refereeing decisions, we might well be alongside Chelsea in third place.
NOTE: This post has been slightly edited from the original.

Jessica Simpson? Who's that?
If you're thinking of the pop singer, MTV reality TV star, "Dukes of Hazzard" actress and recently married celebrity mom, think again — because, according to Jessica Simpson, you're thinking about Jessica Johnson.
Simpson captioned an Instagram photo of herself "Jessica Johnson," implying (or pretty much declaring) that she will take new husband Eric Johnson's name, People.com and other outlets reported Tuesday.
The Johnsons were married July 5 in Montecito, Calif.

The House Always Wins
Sounds like an odd bug to be coincidental.
A duo who used a software bug in video poker machines to milk thousands in unearned jackpots have been charged with computer hacking and conspiracy offences. John Kane, 52, of Las Vegas, allegedly learned that a glitch in the software that meant it was possible to change the stake and multiplier of payouts after first …
Sounds like an odd bug to be coincidental.
I like his arguments but I don't fancy his chances of getting off.
...they should get off. The casino(s) should sue the machine maker to recover the moneys, plus some more for being so damn stupid.
All he did was take advantage of shoddy programming on machines put in place by the casinos.
Maybe, some time in the not-too-distant future, a casino customer can lose thousands, but then sue the casino for taking advantage of the fact he was drunk, and a bit thick even when sober, in order to fleece him of his earnings!
Don't you know, punters aren't supposed to make a *profit* in casinos?
Pretty much par for the course in the United Communist* States of Oligarcs**.
*Always for the good of the government, **or their paymasters.
I don't get why the casinos should win on this. The whole point of gambling is not just about chance but finding a way to beat the odds. Just because they found a methodology to do that that was basically a glitch in the system should not mean they face jail for it. If anything they should perhaps (at most) be ordered to give the money back and that's that (and have the glitch fixed).
All is fair in love and war IMHO.
Does this mean anyone using the 'holds after nudges' exploit, that worked on nearly every fruit machine in the 90's is a l33t criminal hacker?
My favourite glitch was a machine in my local that both paid 20p for a 10p play on three oranges and also offered holds on the winning line indefinately!
You could sit there playing no-lose double your money for small stakes as long as you could be arsed to keep it fed (usually just long enough to earn an evening's worth of beer vouchers).
I've seen documentaries of convicts in Nevada gaols who were serving 10+ year sentences for card counting. Think it can attract a life sentence - of hand sorting decks of cards discarded by casinos back into sequential order with staring over the prison walls onto sun baked/snow covered desert for variety. So comparing gaming a slot machine to card counting probably wasn't the best defence...
Except that card counting - in your head - is NOT illegal.
Those in prison must have been using some technological means to assist in the counting.
No way the guys should be found guilty.
"It's not my fault that their programming allowed a player to win at will,"
The casinos need to be tapping on the shoulder of the manufacturer here.
Unless industrial espionage or sabotage can be demonstrated, I'm not sure what grounds the casino has for charging him. Card counters at the blackjack tables have been barred from the casinos, but nobody have every charged them with a crime.
... he'd made his savings through using a tax loophole.
Little player: He finagles a little win, pays off state with taxes, then still gets a raw deal.
Big player: He finagles a big win, which, if it goes wrong, is reimbursed by state with taxes, then still gets an invitation to a Presidential Dinner.
They kick him out, and forbid him from coming back, but he gets to keep the money. I have no idea how they intend to claim that what he did was illegal...
Wait, hang on. This might be construed as a way to circumvent a security feature, forbidden by the DMCA?
So the casinos are happy for the punters to press the buttons in an order acceptable to them, so that the odds are in their favour, and the punter will loose, but they are not happy for the punter to press the buttons in an order of their choice and win. Makes you wonder what the point of playing is?
The casinos should accept the loss gracefully.
So his defense is that he knew the codes and it isn't stealing?
Try that one with an ATM and see if your defense still stands Jackpotass
But if I were his lawyer I'd probably still recommend he cut a deal with the state on the basis that he'll be safer if he serves a few in the pen than if he wins in court. I don't care what the ads say the casinos are still connected to some high ranking low life types.

below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails
may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same
thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money
order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will
ask you to send them back the difference in money. A
couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and
the bank will take it out of your account. This scam
can be set up several ways.
key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Hi everyone! I just joined the forum today because I feel I could really benefit from some of the members' obviously superior knowledge on here. I'm studying Latin and Greek hopefully towards university. Today I was reading some of Annals XIV and there was a little bit I was confused about:
ruderi accipiendo Ostiensis paludes destinabat utique naves quae frumentum Tiberi subvectassent onustae rudere decurrerent; aedificiaque ipsa certa sui parte sine trabibus saxo Gabino Albanove solidarentur, quod is lapis ignibus impervius est;
So far I've got something like: 'He established the marshes of Ostia for the rubbish which needed to be accepted and used (present historic infinitive or indirect statement after destine - not sure) the ships which carry up the corn to the Tiber (subjunctive with qui as purpose clause or relative clause in indirect statement - not sure!?) to go down laden with rubbish; and his men made the buildings themselves firm without wood and with Gabine and Alban stone, since that stone is impervious to fire.
Thanks so much for anyone's help in advance.

Medidor de distancia Ultrasonico XL-MaxSonar ® -AE1 (MB1310)
Medidor de distancia Ultrasonico XL-MaxSonar ® -AE1 (MB1310)
Description: Super high performance sonar range finder with high power output, noise rejection, auto calibration and long-range medium detection zone (hardware gain of 2000).
The same product as the XL-MaxSonar®-EZ products with real-time analog voltage envelope output instead of pulse width output. The tiny indoor XL-MaxSonar® sensor line are less than 1-cubic-inch in size, yet the sensor puts 1/2 watt of peak power into the efficient transformer driving the transducer, yielding high output acoustic power. This acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and real-time noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings for most users. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL-MaxSonar® sensor line is available with factory calibrated beam patterns and can be used anywhere an indoor acoustic range sensor is needed.

Seeing the triceratops for the trees
Kirk Johnson combines science and art to create an ancient landscape
Name Kirk Johnson
Age 49
Job Chief curator and vice president of research and collections, Denver Museum of Nature and Science
Fossil sites visited 1,600-plus across 24 countries and every continent over 30 years of research
Why so many plant fossils are incomplete "Think about a cat: It's not shedding its leg every day or dropping its head. (But) plants fall apart as they live, so you might find a (single) flower not attached to a plant."
On science versus art
"At the end of the day, you realize that both art and science rely on creativity and imagination."
When paleontologist Kirk Johnson approaches the information desk at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, the receptionists have no idea they're being tested. With his collared shirt and glasses, Johnson could pass for a well-dressed tourist or art critic. Feigning total ignorance, he asks for the pamphlets on ancient Colorado.
Ancient what?
"They're landscape paintings," Johnson clarifies. Ten of them, depicting Colorado's geologic past. "BIG." He doesn't mention that he was one of the people who helped create them.
"Oh, you mean the dinosaur art!" A drawer opens and out come the pamphlets.
Johnson grins at the irony. Moments later, standing before the canvases, he points to the only one with an animal of any size: a spiky stegosaurus surrounded by leafy bushes. The others harbor creatures like the ones in the children's game, "I Spy": a lion half-covered by prairie grass, two triceratops lurking behind a tree. They are nothing like typical prehistoric images, which tend to place battling dinosaurs front and center while dozens more prowl ominously in the background. Eight years ago, when Johnson teamed up with artist Jan Vriesen to craft the Ancient Colorado exhibit, they deliberately shifted the focus away from animals.
"I wanted to capture the feeling of a place," Johnson explains. "Animals are pretty rare in landscapes. If you go for a hike today, you're pretty excited when you see a big animal of any kind, and in general they're off in the distance. That's what these paintings are like." He steps up to the nearest one, instantly dwarfed by the 8-by-10-foot canvas. Each is a snapshot of what Colorado would have looked like in the distant past, 60, 150, 250 million years ago. "It is time travel. You're reconstructing a landscape no one's ever seen."
They look more alien than historic. The tufty-headed trees in Pole Forest resemble something out of a drawing by Dr. Seuss. Slimy Shoreline is even weirder -- clumps of mud-congealed bacteria and algae (what scientists call "stromatolites") dotting a coastline where the arid Red Rocks Park stands today, in the foothills west of Denver. "People don't think the Earth changes very much," says Johnson. "Climate is changing, continents are drifting, plants and animals are both evolving and going extinct ... and a place like Colorado can actually be many different kinds of places over geologic time."
All the images are rooted in meticulous research, every leaf, flower and shrub based on the fossil species found at 10 sites (one for each painting) in Colorado. A paleobotanist by training, Johnson conducts his research with rock hammer in hand, hiking dusty hillsides in boots and a straw hat. The fossils he unearths reveal slender ferns and broad leaves the color of old woodcuts.
Johnson's fondness for plants dates back to his childhood in Seattle, where he found plenty of petrified wood and fossil leaves, but few animals. At age 12, he started working with Wes Wehr, an artist, paleobotanist and volunteer curator at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. Johnson's dual interests continued in college; he pursued a double major in geology and art before switching to full-time science after graduation. "I didn't have command of the (artistic) media ... but I realized you can always hire a great artist."
Enter Jan Vriesen. Science provides the backbone of the paintings, but as Johnson points out, "You still have to build it. You have to take the artistic leap from what you know from the data to what you think it might have looked like." Take Triceratops Swamp: The painting shows a 68-million-year-old fern-filled forest with two dinosaurs in the far distance. For inspiration, Johnson and Vriesen traveled to Alabama's Mobile Delta Swamp, a modern-day version of the ancient forest. There, Vriesen could observe the way sunlight hits the floor of a swamp and note the spacing of trees and bushes, while Johnson pointed out which plants he could paint, and which ones he would need to replace with the fossils found in Colorado.
After that, it's time to step back. "I don't want to micromanage," says Johnson. The composition of each painting, the particular shades of color, the lighting -- all of that is left up to Vriesen, so that later, when Johnson sees the paintings for the first time, "It's a surprise for me. ... You walk in, and it's just like going there."

Whitey Sweet and Sour Plus Some Crap You've Never Heard Of
I am going to say up front that I am not 100% sure this is a thing worth the trouble. Wait, let's go back a little.
Nearly three years ago my mom told me that she saw a TV show wherein Ruth Reichl, ex-NYT-food-reviewer and writer extraordinaire, makes sweet and sour pork with the exquisitely exotic-sounding osmanthus flower. My mom was captivated, because what fool wouldn't be? The thing is, the recipe is otherwise unremarkable. Or rather: remarkably bland-sounding; it consists of nothing more than sliced pork, black fungus (which tastes like is sounds) and a tangy-sweet syrup. The longer I mused on it the less appetizing it sounded.
Except for the single star of the show, osmanthus.
I let it percolate in my brain for a few years, until a few months ago when I was in Seattle and wondered past a little Chinatown tea shop that sold bulk osmanthus, and then it all came drifting into place. The smell is what got me: it smells like apricots. Like fruity, warm, orange-yellow light, summery and evanescent.
Instead of Reichl's recipe, I added it to my solid many-years-tested sweet and sour recipe. Instead of making a syrup, I steeped it straight into the pineapple juice I use as the primary liquid.
I love my sweet and sour, but Mike the Viking does not and therefore I rarely cook it. He claims it is all vinegar, I claim he is a buttface. We are at a standstill.
But the addition of osmanthus? A fleeting, minuscule whiff of it survives cooking. It is lost amongst the strong flavors, and though I still won't make the recipe from Reichl's TV show, I understand now why there are essentially no other ingredients involved. Meanwhile, my standard sweet-and-sour recipe remains a paragon of whitey-Chinese, and I implore you to try it. It is, admittedly, very tangy and not very sweet, but as it should be. If it is a little too sharp for you, add a little more sugar and ketchup to balance it out, but as I make it, it is refreshing, nutritious and light, not the sugary loogie you get from cheap Chinese take-out¹.
Don't skip the tomatoes stirred in at the end, either. It is one of my favorite parts of the recipe, the way they remain intact and uncooked, but just warmed through. The usual caveats apply to the rest of the ingredients: chicken breast will be dry and sad, but whatever, I'm not the boss of you. I prefer chicken over pork, but even tofu is good (though I vote for the fried stuff). Any vegetable works, but I have never beat the combination of green bell pepper, onions and carrots. It is what it is, and for me, it is perfect.
Whitey Sweet and Sour
in the scheme of things it really isn't that whitey of a recipe. i mean, it isn't neon pink and made almost entirely from high fructose corn syrup, but it is made from pineapple juice and ketchup. for the pineapple juice, i usually buy a large can of pineapple chunks and use the juice from the whole can, but only HGH about half of the actual pineapple pieces. and then i eat the rest of the can of pineapple while i am cooking, but that is a side story. if you don't want actual pineapple pieces in your food, buy a can of pineapple juice, because the recipe still needs that tangy fruity flavor. lastly, osmanthus can be found online and at Chinese teashops, if you are lucky enough to live near one. Reichl advises using chamomile if you can't get osmanthus, which is an interesting suggestion, but part of me just wants to tell you to use some apricot nectar instead of pineapple juice. TOO MANY IDEAS. i will shut up now.
2 Lbs. cubed boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 green bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 onion, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1 carrot, sliced thin, diagonal if you're fancy
1 tomato cubed
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 scant cup pineapple juice **see note
2 – 3 heaping Tablespoons of osmanthus flowers
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons brown sugar or more to taste
1 Tablespoon finely diced fresh ginger
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons corn starch
rice for serving
**Note: if you use a can of pineapple chunks for the juice, it will not produce a full cup. It will be a little shy of a cup. That is okay, keep going as planned.
- Heat the pineapple juice to a simmer (microwave is easiest, unless you're against mutant pineapple juice, in which case on the stovetop in a small saucepan is the way to go) and steep the osmanthus flowers in it until the pineapple juice has cooled, about 10 minutes. Squeeze the remaining juice from the filter/teabag and discard the flowers. TEABAG! Haha!
- In a medium saucepan, over high heat briefly sauté the chicken pieces until they are browned on a few sides, but still have visible pink flesh. This will take 3-5 minutes. Add the green pepper, onion and carrot, and lower the heat to medium and allow it all to cook together for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and cornstarch together and set it aside.
- In the pot with the chicken and vegetables, add the remaining ingredients of the sauce: osmanthus pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, salt, brown sugar, and ginger. Let everything bubble over medium heat until it is as cooked as you like. I prefer my veggies pretty crisp, which means they are done cooking in 3 or 4 minutes. If you like yours soft, let them continue to cook a few minutes longer. When you're happy with it, add the soy sauce and corn starch mixture, stirring rapidly as you pour to incorporate. Let it bubble and brap until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add the diced tomato and pineapple pieces and stir to combine. Eat it.
¹ I have a friend that called cheap Chinese sweet and sour "neon abortion". This turn of phrase has stuck with me over the years, though I cannot now remember who said it. I now pass it along to you, friend. Enjoy.
