Saltalamacchia's mindset: 'We're going to win this'
JUPITER, Fla. -- Nothing instills confidence and engrains belief more than winning.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia fully understands what can happen when you combine the power of positive thinking with the proper attitude. Some may dismiss the rhetoric as lip service. But to anyone who played for the 2013 Red Sox, it became a World Series-championship combination.
JUPITER, Fla. -- Nothing instills confidence and engrains belief more than winning.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia fully understands what can happen when you combine the power of positive thinking with the proper attitude. Some may dismiss the rhetoric as lip service. But to anyone who played for the 2013 Red Sox, it became a World Series-championship combination.
Since Saltalamacchia played for Boston a year ago, he recognizes what it takes to win it all.
Obviously, it takes talent. But it also requires buying into a program and staying focused.
Saltalamacchia hopes to carry over all the intangibles that made the Red Sox great last year to the upstart Marlins.
The 28-year-old catcher was Miami's top offseason acquisition, signing a three-year, $21 million deal to join forces with one of the most promising young pitching staffs in the game.
Saltalamacchia isn't in camp to talk a good game. The Palm Beach County native is looking to help bring a cultural change to an organization that's endured three straight last-place finishes in the National League East.
"I'm not here to tell guys, 'This is how you do it. This is how you don't do it,'" he said. "I'm hoping we all have the same mindset, which is to win."
To let the message sink in early, Saltalamacchia openly talked about winning to his teammates before Spring Training got underway. It started when he was interacting with players and coaches during the club's caravan week that led into pitchers and catchers' workouts.
"Get that mindset now, 'We're going to win this,'" Saltalamacchia said. "If you don't have that mindset, you're going to be shooting yourself in the foot."
After losing 100 games last year, the Marlins have adopted a stance of doing less talking and more performing.
Saltalamacchia's track record speaks for itself. Last year, he batted .273 with 14 homers, 65 RBIs and 40 doubles.
A switch-hitter, Saltalamacchia projects to be a middle-of-the-lineup threat. He's also showing leadership in camp, always among the earliest arrivals at the complex and setting a tone in the clubhouse.
"He looks confident, he looks relaxed, and he looks comfortable right now, which is great," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "I've seen a lot of our pitchers kind of filter toward him and get to talk to him about their stuff."
Because of some outstanding young pitchers, the organization has a quiet confidence that better days are ahead.
"We did our homework on Salty," general manager Dan Jennings said. "We did our homework on the person, first-and-foremost, about his leadership skills."
All the reports came back to move forward and make Saltalamacchia Miami's first major free-agent pickup.
"Everything we had heard about him, all those characteristics shined through," Jennings said. "We felt like he could be that first piece of the pie to put in place."
Saltalamacchia saw firsthand how rapidly a team could turn things around. In 2012, the Red Sox, like the Marlins that season, lost 93 games. The next season, Miami took a deeper tumble, going 62-100.
The Red Sox? They reshaped their roster and brought in players like Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Jonny Gomes. John Farrell was brought in to manage, and everybody bought in. The club reversed its fortunates immediately, winning the American League East before taking the World Series over the Cardinals in six games.
"Chemistry," Saltalamacchia said. "You always hear about it. Going through it last year, I honestly believe that's one of the biggest things you have to have to be on a World Series team. You've seen St. Louis over the past few years, good chemistry. What we had last year, nobody could beat it. I think with the young group of guys we have this year, it could very easily be that chemistry."
The bonding within the Marlins started prior to camp.
It grows from little things, like immersing yourself in the game.
With the Red Sox last year, the club was filled with players Saltalamacchia called "baseball junkies." They were all about business every single day. The televisions in the clubhouse were tuned into baseball games.
"You weren't worried about anything else," Saltalamacchia said. "You wanted to enjoy the game."
Over the course of a long season, it's easy for players to let their minds drift.
"That's exactly why we brought him in," Redmond said. "He's that guy in the clubhouse. He's a leader. He's a winner. You bring those guys in, they rub off, not just on the younger players, but all the players.
"I think nowadays, there are just so many distractions, with cell phones. Sometimes you lose sight of the baseball aspect of it. On the good teams, you've got baseball players. That's their life. That's what they live for. They can't wait to show up to the ballpark. Not only to play the game, but to win."
Now Saltalamacchia is enjoying a change of scenery. But some may question his judgment in going from a first-to-worst situation.
To the Marlins, bringing in Saltalamacchia made perfect sense. They were searching for an offensive-minded catcher to hit in the middle of the lineup.
From Saltalamacchia's standpoint, what did he have to gain?
"I want to say that we actually reached out to them, to let them know we are interested," Saltalamacchia said. "I think the original thought was, 'Well, you were probably too expensive, and this or that.' We were more like, 'Hey, we're interested in going there, whatever you have, and whatever you think, let's talk.' At that time, we had six or seven teams we were talking to. So we said, 'Let's have dinner, and talk this out.'"

1832 Views of Cincinnati, Ohio by New Orleans artist Adrien Mayers (1801–1833)
I have searched for this artist in all of my records and simply cannot find him. I do find on the web this notation about the dispersal of his property at his death in New Orleans, Louisiana. It appears that he traveled up the Mississippi & across the Ohio rivers to spend time painting in Cincinnati. "Court of Probates - Sale by the Register of Wills. - On Thursday the 7th day of November, 1833, at 10 o'clock in the morning, I will expose for sale for the amount of the succession of the late Adrien Mayers, at the late domicile of the deceased, in Chartres street, between Toulouse and Jefferson streets, the contents of his store, consisting of Pictures, Engravings, sets of China ware, and other fancy articles." Courrier de la Louisiane, November 4, 1833, p. 3. Nouvelle-Orléans (New Orleans, La.) Please email, if you know of this artist. I will be grateful.

Women Artists - Pre-Raphaelite
Marianne Stokes (Austrian born English painter, 1855–1927) Candlemas Day
Catherine (Madox Brown) Hueffer (1850-1927) At the Opera) 1869
The Pre-Raphaelite movement was a revolution in the art world during the 2nd half of the 19th-century in England.
Catherine (Madox Brown) Hueffer (1850-1927) Elsie Martindale Hueffer 1895
The members of the group, men & women, turned against what they perceived as the insipid, artificial artistic ideals of the day, instead portraying human earnestness & honesty in art.
Emma Sandys (1834-1877) Elaine, c. 1862-5. Elaine is a heroine of Tennyson's Arthurian poem Idylls of the King, where her love for Lancelot is unrequited.
The Pre-Raphaelites questioned the academic style dominating the art of the period, searching for a more original style in art prior to Raphael which they felt was less affected by trends of the academy.
Emma Sandys (1834-1877) The Garland 1870
They found their inspiration in medieval and early Renaissance art with its bright colors & clear outlines.
Emma Sandys (1834-1877) The Yellow Dress. The medieval background reflects a Flemish tapestry.
The figures in Pre-Raphaelite paintings –often women– give expression to intense feelings such as yearning, passion, or grief.
Emma Sandys (1834-1877) Viola 1870
Although the Pre-Raphaelites looked backwards in history for their subjects, they were also very modern in their approach.
Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1872-1945) The Little Foot Page, 1905. The story of Burd Helen from Scottish balladry, who dressed as a boy page to follow her lover on foot, while he rode on horseback. They eventually had a child together and got married.
Their revolt against the established Victorian art scene can be compared with the radical movements in 20th-century modernism.
Joanna Boyce (1831-1861). Elgiva Joanna Boyce, Elgiva, an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who was ruined by the powerful Archbishop Odo. Her marriage was forcibly dissolved, she was exciled to Ireland. 1855
The Pre-Raphaelites sought to give art a nobler & more morally serious purpose.
Kate Elizabeth Bunce (1856-1927) Melody or Musica c 1895
And so the Pre-Raphaelites sought to bring about a radical break with all the current conventions of the 2nd half of the 19th-century.
Joanna Boyce (1831-1861). Head of Mrs Edwards 1861
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) A Florentine Lily, representing the spirit of the City of Florence. c. 1885-90.
Marianne Preindelsberger Stokes (1855-1927) St. Elizabeth of Hungary Spinning for the Poor, 1895. St. Elizabeth of Hungary was a medieval noblewoman canonised in 1235.
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Beatrice
Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal (1829-1862) Lady Clare, 1857. Tennyson's Lady Clare, in which the heroine's natural mother begs her to conceal her humble origin, lest Lord Ronald withdraw his offer of marriage. Lady Clare refuses.
'I'm a beggar born,' she said,
'I will speak out, for I dare not lie.
Pull off, pull off the brooch of gold
And fling the diamond necklace by.'
'Nay now, my child,' said Alice the nurse,
'But keep the secret all ye can.'
She said, 'Not so; but I will know
If there be any faith in man."
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Cloister Lilies
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Madonna Pietra degli Scrovigni 1884
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Mariana
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Self-Portrait
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) The Lady Prays 1866
Marie Spartali Stillman (1844-1927) Woman with a Lute
Rebecca Solomon (1832-1886) The Wounded Dove. The the juxtaposition of a female figure in a domestic setting with a bird was a common theme at the time. 1866

A few moody women by American artist Thomas Eakins (1844-1916)
Thomas Eakins (1844-1916). Portrait of Alice Kurtz 1903
Thomas Eakins (1844-1916). Portrait of Mrs. Leigo 1906

To reflect the style-forward family who lives in this home, the timeless mid-century house in St. Bruno will need to be spruced up to an edgier and healthier level.
Two features struck me at first, the stained bricks on the chimney walls and the dark entryway under the carport. First, I would remove the weak trellises, temporarily detach the vine and cut it down to a few feet. Since the stain is almost impossible to clean out, two options could be considered. The less expensive one consists in covering the surface with good quality paint such as Behr's brick and concrete product. A light muddy green in a matte finish would be a perfect colour for the chimney, the concrete below it and also the deck in the backyard.
A more costly alternative could be to resurface the walls in a special cement coating in a flat and smooth texture that can be initially tinted in the desired colour or painted after. This operation would have better results if executed by a professional.
For a subtle contrast, the siding, the concrete foundation below it and the custommade flower boxes would adopt a medium tone from the same palette of colours in an acrylic exterior paint in a mat finish.
To visually enlarge the facade, a ghostlike roof structure extension could be added in the same angle as the existing one.
A large-scale trellis attached to the real roof and the new addition would hold the structure while hosting a white flower Clematis.
All vertical steel posts will have to be replaced with wood beams stained with opaque white acrylic.
I'm not sure if the one near the front door is necessary. To be cautious, an evaluation by an architect would be a good idea.
The unsightly vertical gutter pipe will have to be relocated on the lower front corner of the roof of the existing car port and near to the cedars.
Apart from the obvious solid overhanging roof above the porch, one of the reasons why the area is dark is because of the sculptural conifers on the left. It looks good, it protects from the wind in winter and refreshes in summer.
Evaluating the pros and cons, the owner will have to decide between sunlight and a lack of.
For a sleek and clean feel, the sparingly placed rose bushes could migrate elsewhere in the backyard although the white blooms could be used in this new design.
The younger lilac is a problem since it is close to the house and hides some of the nicest attributes of the home which are the three windows.
In the past, I successfully relocated a similar sized bush. I cut about a third of the branches to the ground selecting older ones while balancing the overall shape. It's a gamble but with good soil, compost, transplant products, water and love, it's possible.
For more privacy, the lilac could be transferred on the right side between the gate and the adjoining cedars and about 12 feet away from these and the facade.
The new owner appreciates the soothing inspiration from all green and white gardens.
A hedge of either white flower or lime-green clusters of hydrangeas would effectively soften the driveway.
Leading to the backyard, a five-to six-foot wide pathway made out of long slabs of natural flag stones will be surrounded with a mosslike yellow green ground cover.
A second narrower path would form a triangular shape in which a slow growing tailored hedge of Buxus could showcase three white rose bushes.
For this size lot, trees are absolutely welcomed. I suggest any type of big fir nearer to the street and in line with the right corner of the house a medium size Malus Lollipop on the left, midway to the street.
The quiet sophistication of the muted hues of the house and the single choice of the flowering vegetation bestow an understated elegance.
Vegetation, from left to right:
- Clematis (1+1 climbing, white flowers)
- Hydrangea Annabelle or Limelight (shrubs, hedge driveway)
- Impatiens (white annuals, left flower box)
- Buxus Microphyla Koreana (persistent, triangular hedge)
- Rosa Iceberg (3 rose bushes, white flowers)
- Bacopa Cordata Sutera (annuals, flower box, windows)
- Miscanthus (tall ornamental grass)
- Arenaria Verna (perennials, yellow green, walkway)
- Lamium (perennials, hedge of pathway, silver leaves)

The Kolobe Adventures African Hunt Safari outfit is based at Kingston Game Ranch, some thirty kilometer west of Kimberley, and has been operating as an African Hunt Safari destination since 1994.
Kolobe Adventures African Hunt Safari's and the Kingston Game Ranch are famous for the rocky outcrop called Halfkop, which means "half head", the name obviously derived from the fact that part of it was excavated earlier for road fill purposes. It is unique because it marks the center coordinates for South Africa on an East - West line.
There is also several beautiful hand dressed stone structures such as dams, stores, troughs and "kraals" on the farm, which have been built by Italian prisoners of war during the second world war.
We have discovered several indigenous Khoi-San rock engravings on the property and have picked up some interesting stone age tools.
We are based in the Northern Cape, 30 km west of Kimberley, the capital of the province. Kingston is the ideal hunting destination and weekend getaway. The farm's size is 7000ha, and has a variety of plains game for hunters and photographers. We are situated where the Karroo ends and the Kalahari begins, and the property has a very diverse terrain, from open grass plains, thorn thickets, shrub veldt, and occasional rocky outcrops.
The climate in the area ranges from very hot summers (November - February), to cold very cold winters (May - July). In summer our temperatures ranges form 18 Co minimum to 40Co maximum. Our summer evenings are very pleasant, with very hot days, and are often accompanied by thunderstorms in the late afternoon. In winter we have very cold nights, often below freezing, that is accompanied by early morning frost, but warms up to a mild and often pleasant day - 18 - 23 Co. We are in a Malaria free area, so no medication necessary.
During your stay, your host will be Doug and Lara Cox. Doug has lived in the area all his live, and has been manager of the property since 1993, and started Kolobe Adventures in 2005. Lara will look after all your accommodation needs, and will serve you a variety of truly South African dishes and game/venison dishes.
Our main clientele are hunters, but we also cater for nature lovers that want a weekend getaway, small functions and birthday parties.

Hello from the Caribbean
Surname Index...
The Index
itself is available at...
The Caribbean Surname Index is basically a Discussion Forum containing surname, location,
and other "Boards" where registered users may post their relevant information
and hope for a response from other family members searching on the Internet. This Index is
"spidered" regularly by all of the search engines, including Google, so
information placed here will show up when other people conduct a search. There are also
general discussion Boards where registered users may throw out general or specific
questions which others may respond to... discussion is very much encouraged here.
Please note...
The more information posted here, the better the chances of making a connection. Just
posting a single name has very little chance of success, but also posting a location
(village, town, city, country) and the names and/or nicknames of several other family
members and/or close family friends has a far better chance of attracting a contact from
across the miles and generations.
This Index allows PMs (Private Messages) to be sent between registered users.
All email addresses have been removed from the public view, but registered users can send
messages to each another and/or have the Index send them an email Alert whenever a message
arrives for them or there is a response to their Post/s.
This provides a number of advantages:
To avoid SPAM
as much as possible, registration is manually completed, by email to the
You may apply for registration HERE.
Here is the format you MUST
follow for adding entries to the Caribbean Surname Index. It follows the basic format of
the previous Index:
Subject line: SURNAME (in capitals), Country - local area.
Body text: Your name, and a relevant note (please keep it brief).
Subject line: LYNCH - Barbados, Bridgetown, St. Michael and/or Christ Church
Body text: James Lynch, seeking especially Hamlet LYNCH ca.1804, married to Minifred
Lynch, sons James, Peter, John Richard. Could be St. Michael or Christ Church parishes.
IMPORTANT: The Index is checked daily for SPAM and violations of the
Terms Of Use. For your own protection, do NOT put your own email, street
address or location into the Subject or Body of the post. Such items WILL
be removed and you WILL be warned - just once, repetition results in
removal of your registration and all of your Posts without further notice.
The language here for registration and Posting is strong, and intentionally so. Many
people do not complete the registration application properly, or after Registration is
completed then disregard them all when it comes to Posting. Frankly, if someone can't
read, understand, and then comply with simple and basic instructions perhaps it is better
they are not in this Forum in the first place.
- Use a "handle" or "nickname" as your Index name.
- Keep your posted information short and to the point, but include as many names,
towns/cities and countries of relatives/friends as possible. These public posts/messages
are available to anyone on the Internet, and I have had reports of stalkings and threats
to those who insist in posting current intimate details.
Be advised that the Administrator does have access to email addresses of registered
users should he need to contact you for any reason. This privilege will not be abused,
your addess will never be sold or otherwise distributed, and you will never receive SPAM

Board or to your search).
Again, all users who wish to Post or communicate are now REQUIRED to register. The Index
may also be used for discussion - but of directly-related genealogy matters ONLY. You may
NOT post here unless you are a registered user.
This Index is fully searchable. As before, all posts are totally subject to review and
control by the Administrator, and the Administrator's decision in any matter is final.
Again, the Index is available at...
Thank you for your time and attention... and good luck!!

Special Interests

- Headaches
- Neck and low back pain
I am a doctor of chiropractic at the Northwestern Health Clinic Bloomington, professor at the College of Chiropractic at Northwestern Health Sciences University and a supervising faculty clinician in the University's teaching clinics.
My practice primarily focuses on treating patients with acute or chronic recurring pain. My goal is to assist the patient in reaching a satisfactory level of pain reduction and to help them return to normal activities.
I use chiropractic adjustments to areas of the spine as well as appropriate therapies which may include ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, manual muscle work, traction (sustained force that gradually aligns the spine), and occasionally pain-based acupuncture treatment. I also incorporate other providers in the care of my patient if it is clinically appropriate. My approach to care is patient-centered, evidence-informed and coupled with clinical experience.
As an instructor, I enjoy teaching future healthcare providers my knowledge and skills in caring for and treating patients. When I instruct I utilize a clinically practical approach to patient care by combining knowledge and available evidence while keeping in mind individual patient needs. I feel that it is an honor to have the opportunity to assist in student education as our future healthcare providers go forward to serve their communities.

Two main reasons by my estimate:
We've had a voting system for a while now, but we've really noticed that it hasn't been used all that much by the community. We're not exactly sure why that is as we haven't received much feedback either.

Consumer Trends for 2009
With the economy affecting shopping, consumers grapple with prices and desires.
Health and wellness concerns were the overriding theme for 2008, and most consumers made a sincere effort to improve the eating habits of their families, albeit not always successfully.
As we head into 2009, the uncertainty of the global economic crisis is of great concern to all. At home in the U.S., now officially in recession mode, insecure consumers are worrying about their jobs, cutting back on their spending and assembling and eating more meals at home.
Fortunately for them, the cost of food is declining. U.S. food prices recently benefited from the plunge in corn, soybean and wheat prices (down about 50 percent) and the falling cost of energy – used to process, package and transport foods (down about 66 percent from record levels). But consumers could still wind up seeing a 4 percent increase in their grocery bills next year, according to the USDA.
Hope and optimism about the economy are seemingly in the air following the election of Barack Obama. So the question on all our minds is whether the economy will temper healthier consumer behavior and new product development from food companies as they grapple with prices and profits, or will American optimism and new-found confidence help to turn the tide. According to Chicago-based Mintel (www.mintel.com), there are five major ways consumers will adapt and businesses can thrive.
• You are in control: Consumers are more confident and demanding about how they live their lives and spend their money. Even in recession mode, they'll want to stay in control of their choices wherever they can. They will seek out products and services that give them exactly what they want, when they want it, especially as their budgets tighten. And the Internet will be key, showing people every option available, giving them the power to demand more, while also allowing them to influence others through user reviews and feedback.
"Those companies that give consumers precisely what they want or give them the freedom to customize their purchases will do well," says Joan Holleran, Mintel's director of research. "Companies that fail to do this will see consumers walk away." Baby Boomers will be of particular interest to businesses. Companies will move beyond traditional "old age" products and services to ones that embrace the active, healthy lifestyles of many older consumers.
• Simplify and purify: Faced with fast-paced modern life, consumers will continue to seek convenience and simplicity. As people take control of their everyday lives, they will also demand that companies communicate with them honestly and openly. From understandable ingredients to clear company practices, consumers want complete transparency when it comes to the products they buy.
Datamonitor identifies floral flavors as trends for the new year, and McCormick already has a product out. Lavender was in McCormick's annual flavor forecast in 2007.
Old-fashioned skills such as cooking at home and gardening will become increasingly popular. As an added benefit, these home-based activities will also help people stretch their budgets further.
Manufacturers will focus on clear ingredient labels and product, positioning fresh, clean and pure as essential values. "Brands that can communicate what they really stand for and show how they can make life easier will earn consumers' trust and loyalty," says Holleran. Additionally, with people "cocooning" in their homes to save money, companies will create better products for dining, relaxing and entertaining at home.
• Rebuilding trust: Today's consumers have high standards and will demand value for money, as well as consistently high levels of quality, safety and service. Crumbling economic markets, food scares and toy safety problems have fueled an era of doubt and insecurity. And so in the coming year, people will seek out trusting, open relationships wherever they can. People want to know all about the products they buy, from where they were sourced to how they were manufactured. They will cling to the long-standing, nostalgic brands they know and love, looking for products with a real sense of familiarity.
For many companies, the road to rebuilding trust with consumers will be long and difficult. Manufacturers will need to back up their words with actions and conduct business in a more open, honest way. Reassuring consumers that they are acting in the customers' best interest will become a primary concern for businesses. Also, as companies see shoppers sticking to already-familiar products, long-standing brands will move into new markets to exploit their position as trustworthy companies.
• Trading down (but a little trading up too): As purse strings tighten, consumers will look for every possible way to make their pennies stretch further. They will trade down to cheaper store brands and eat out less. But everyone will still crave a little treat now and again, indulging in small, affordable luxuries, like premium chocolate, designer sunglasses or a favorite moisturizer.

The Best City Hotels in the World
Last the week The Guardian published a Google Map mapping the newspaper's travel videos, called Video Breaks Around the World. This week they have created a Google Map highlighting the best city hotels in the world.
So far the paper has mapped out the best hotels in 32 cities across the world, 'hand-picked by locals and experts from San Francisco to Beijing'. The Guardian says it has plans to add more cities to the map in the future.
You can select to view a city's hotels from the drop-down menu in the map sidebar. If you then click on the individual hotel markers you can read The Guardian's review.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The failure of the investigational antiretroviral drug vicriviroc to distinguish itself in a phase III clinical trial has derailed plans by Merck to seek FDA approval for the agent in treatment-experienced patients.
The company announced that it will not file a New Drug Application for vicriviroc, a CCR5 cell entry inhibitor with a checkered clinical history, following presentation of pooled studies at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections here.
In the two phase III studies, patients who had previous treatments with antiretroviral medicines were assigned to receive vicriviroc plus optimized background therapy or just optimized background therapy alone. The results of the studies indicated there was no difference in outcomes measured by HIV replication.
In a press release distributed following the presentation, Merck said it was "evaluating alternative ways to move ahead with this investigational agent."
Joseph Gathe, MD, president of Therapeutic Concepts, Houston, who presented the results to a packed house during an oral abstract session here, said, "Optimized background therapy in these trials included more potent antiretroviral drugs than in the vicriviroc phase II clinical trials or in phase III trials of recently approved HIV drugs."
In fact, he said that more than 30% of the patients who were treated in the so-called Victor E3 and Victor E4 trials received background therapy that included the new drugs darunavir and raltegravir, two of the most potent antiretrovirals now available.
Moreover, Gathe said that 64% of the patients on optimized background therapy were treated with at least three active antiretroviral therapies.
He said that there were hints that vicriviroc could boost results over background therapy alone if there were two or less active drugs on board.
Vicriviroc is designed to prevent the virus from infecting the immune system's CD4 cells by blocking its primary entry route, the CCR5 co-receptor. Among treatment-experienced patients, 25% to 60% have virus that uses the CCR5 co-receptor -- a wide range that depends on the degree of treatment experience, the degree of HIV/AIDS progression, and the sensitivity of the assay used. Among treatment-naive patients, 80% to 90% have virus that uses the CCR5 co-receptor.
In the studies cited, HIV-infected patients whose virus was not well controlled were assigned to receive vicriviroc 30 mg once daily or placebo in combination with an optimized background regimen -- a regimen required to have at least two fully active antiretroviral drugs including a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor.
Gathe reported that 64% of the 486 patients who received vicriviroc and 62 percent of the 235 patients in the placebo arm achieved undetectable virus when measured with the 50 copies/mL assay at week 48 of treatment (P=0.6).
Merck said that an ongoing, fully enrolled phase II clinical study of vicriviroc in treatment-naive HIV patients will continue unchanged.
Treatment-experienced patients from the vicriviroc clinical trials who are benefiting from vicriviroc treatment will continue to have access to the medicine as provided for in the trial protocols.
Merck, which is developing the drug, supported the study.
Gathe disclosed financial relationships with Abbott Labs, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Gilead Sciences, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Tibotec.

Sept. 8, 2006
Lipscomb Bisons soccer coach Charles Morrow had been waiting for newcomer Keri Lara to break out offensively.
Well, the wait is over as Lara, a midfielder, scored the hat trick Friday night in a 4-3 overtime win against the host Centenary Gents in the Centenary College Invitational at Shreveport, La. It was the third overtime game of the season for the Bisons who are 2-1 in those contests.
"That is something we have been working on with Keri," said Morrow. "It was nice to see him finally produce some goals."
Morrow was less than pleased with the team's performance, despite the outcome.
"We had the game well in hand 2-0 and really should have put them away," said Morrow. "We let them back into the game emotionally and things deteriorated from there. I'm definitely happy that we got the win, but I'm not really happy with the game we played."
The Bisons jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half. Midfielder Ernesto Rosales scored from inside six yards on a pass from forward Jorge Suarez at 22:28.
Lara scored his first goal of the game at the 59:11 mark of the second half with T.J. Williams getting the assist.
Centenary broke into the scoring column at 67:53 when midfielder Stephen Rifai scored on a header. They tied the game at 71:08 when Osama Buazza scored on a penalty kick.
Lara gave the Bisons the lead once again at 3-2 at 80:44 as he scored from the right side. Benj Lance was credited with the assist.
Rifai struck for his second goal, unassisted, at 85:23 with a shot from the top of the box to send the game into overtime.
Lara, with an assist from Rosales, beat his man one-on-one to score the game winner at 93:13.
"It never should have gotten to overtime," said Morrow. "They had two players thrown out of the game and we playing two men down."
Defender Scott Mason and Lara each tied for game-high in shots on goal with three. Mason had a hat-trick against Centenary last season and ended with a school record four goals.
The Bisons had held a 9-5 edge in shots on goal and a 23-14 qdvantage in shots.
Freshman goalkeeper Danny Prichard made two saves.
Centenary had five yellow cards and two red cards. The Bisons had two yellow cards.
"I felt good about how our guys handled themselves," said Morrow.
The Bisons, who play Oral Roberts at 5 p.m. Saturday, are 2-3 overall. Centenary fell to 1-3.

Thorn, provided he is selected and holders Leinster retain the trophy, would become the first player to win a World Cup, Heineken Cup and Super Rugby title.
The 37-year-old former All Blacks lock has been a key part of Leinster's charge towards their third Heineken final in four seasons.
"I just love my footie," he said. "I like being here, the challenge of it and being part of a Heineken Cup.
"Leinster are a great side with a great coaching team in Joe Schmidt, Greg Feek and Jono Gibbes - it's the whole package.
"Being in the Heineken Cup final is juicy, but basically there is a brick wall between us and the cup in Ulster."
While Leinster have enjoyed an unbeaten march to the final, winning seven and drawing one of their eight games, Ulster progressed from a tougher pool - one that included European heavyweights Leicester and Clermont Auvergne.
They also knocked out twice-Heineken Cup winners and quarter-final opponents Munster, and the size of their threat is not lost on Schmidt.
"In last year's final, Northampton played superbly in the first-half against us and we didn't take our opportunities," he said.
"We made three clean line-breaks and gave the ball straight back to them. They dominated us in the first 40 minutes.
"We can't afford to do that with Ulster, especially when you look at their quarter-final victory over Munster.
"Ulster are a team that can keep you under pressure because of their kicking game and they can also exert pressure on your platforms.
"John Afoa, Tom Court and Rory Best have done a great job for them in the front-row; Johann Muller calls the lineouts and Stephen Ferris and Pedrie Wannenburg both add a lot.
"If we allow them to get a good start and build a lead, then it will be a pretty tough job for us to get back into the game."

Spirit Airlines has a reputation for airfare sales pegged to hot news topics.
On Wednesday, Spirit launched a new sale prominently featured on their website reading, "We've got tons of binders full of sales!"
The ad, of course, references Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's response to a question from Tuesday night's presidential debate . When asked about pay equality for women, Romney said, "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women."
Sale fares under the promotion start at $29.80 one-way for a ticket from Dallas to Houston. You can travel on these fares from October 24 to November 15, or from November 27 to December 17. Act fast, though, if you're interested — the sale ends tonight at midnight. Click here for the full list of fares and destinations.
Spirit's previous kitchy ad focused on American Airlines' woes with loose seats on its Boeing 757 fleet. They ran a sale offering 7.57 percent off fares promoting it as, "We let fares loose, not seats!" (Read more: More Loose American Airlines Seats Found )
Before that, Spirit poked fun at the Secret Service prostitution scandal with a "More Bang For Your Buck" sale to Cartagena, Colombia. (Read more: Spirit Airlines' Secret Service Special )
Misty Pinson, Spirit's director of corporate communication tells CNBC.com in an email that these edgy promotions are not created by outside marketing firms. The process "tends to be a group effort… albeit a small group, " she says.
I doubt the major U.S. carriers would ever launch such a sale. Kudos to you Spirit, for giving me a good laugh (and boosting your media exposure).

Koivu added an empty-net goal with 33 seconds remaining.
P.A. Parenteau had two goals for the Avalanche, the second with 13:17 left in the game to prevent the Wild from coasting to the finish. Gabe Landeskog also scored and Erik Johnson had two assists for the Avs, but they were outshot 40-32.
Minnesota got the opening goal for the sixth straight game when Torrey Mitchell scored barely 3 minutes in.

Hello all, I've never posted here before.. I've found lots of useful info browsing the forums but I've got a problem I can't seem to solve by browsing.. hope you can help!
I'm bf my 18 month old. Apart from a tongue tie that he had cut at 7 weeks, nursing was wonderful for the first year. He has a very high palate and upper lip tie too but they didn't cause us problems, though I've always been aware that his latch is a bit shallow. He was a late teether - first four teeth appeared together at 9/10 months and didn't cause any problems.
Then during the second bout of teething in May (around 13 months) my right nipple started getting a irritated. A dry, red patch spread out gradually from the nipple, over a month or two - like dermatitis/eczema. At that point it wasn't painful, just a bit irritated/itchy at times. I put it down to the teething and moisturised with coconut oil. On advice from my LLL group, I tried getting LO to latch a bit deeper/different positions etc but I was a bit half-hearted - I guess because at that point it wasn't painful.
The irritation spread till it covered a large part of the right areola. In July I went to my GP - she said she didn't think it was fungal or bacterial.
She said if it didn't go away after a week of intensive moisturising she'd send me to the breast clinic to rule out Paget's disease (rare breast cancer that looks like nipple eczema on one nipple only.) Breast clinic doctors discharged me saying it definitely wasn't Paget's but they had no idea what it was. (They were also a bit about me "still" bf at 16mo.. whatever! I ignored that "advice".)
Meanwhile the nipple got worse. In August I developed cracks a couple of times - agony!! Used lanolin for "moist wound healing" and continued with the coconut oil.
In Sept, GP prescribed a steroid cream which I was reluctant to use, but it did work wonders, totally took away the irritation... for a day or two I thought I was cured! But it came back with avengence - I guess because the steroid cream is treating the symptom but if the cause is the shallow latch, it's going to keep coming back.. ?
Now it's worse than ever - the whole areola is dry, inflamed, crusty & really sore - AND the left nipple is starting to get inflamed
I'm beginning to suspect I (we) may have picked up thrush along the way (maybe due to the cracked nipple?) because I'm now getting shooting pains during and after nursing - in both breasts - that I never got before. So I will go back to doc and see about that. (I've also heard probiotics are good for thrush - any advice?)
But I think the underlying dermatits-like issue wasn't thrush to begin with.. so my main question is.. Has anyone else had an experience like this with a high-palate toothy toddler? What helped?
How can I get LO to latch more deeply? I can kind of do it when he's awake but when he's asleep the latch is shallow as heck, and it's agony. It feels like his teeth are rubbing against the nipple.
Weaning is definitely not an option. Any tips on how to get back to enjoyable pain-free nursing?! Please and thank you so much!!!

C.T.C's Auto Ranch Inc. Stocks Most Major Brands
At the Auto Ranch we strive to keep all the major brands of truly American cars from 1974 and older in stock. While we do occasionally buy newer cars, our goal is to stay in the Muscle Car and older era.
The oldest car we currently have in stock is a 1936 Nash. We do have some cars in the early 40's, but our real strengths are in the Post-War Era. We have many late 40's cars even more from the 50's and 60's. While most collectors only like two-door hardtops because they bring a better return on their investment, the Auto Ranch will buy almost any American car, two-door, four-door or station wagon. We have a large selection of 50's, 60's, and 70's two and four door cars and pickups.
We have an excellent stock of Muscle cars from the 60's through the mid 70's, and we're always on the lookout for more. Naturally, most cars have already had the really rare and desirable options removed. However, we do occasionally run across the intact "gem" and if it's a restorable, desirable car, we will try to sell it as a whole project car before trying to sell any parts from it.
We also have a large stock of sheet metal, (doors, fenders, hoods and deck lids) that we have purchased from older salvage yards that have gone out of business. These parts were removed from various cars that were crushed years ago. Most of them are in very good condition with little or no rust. Best of all, they are already removed from the vehicles.
C.T.C.'s Auto Ranch Inc., is located just 4 miles north of Denton, Texas, on Interstate 35. Going north on I-35, exit at the 474 mile marker (Cowling Rd) stay on service road. Heading south on I-35, exit at the 473 mile marker(Milam Rd.) go up & cross the overpass & circle around by Love's, then get on service road heading north.

So many times since bringing my daughter home I have cried my eyes out with fear of not taking care of her properlu and nursing simply not being enough. I want the best for her, hence the breastfeeding and determination to keep it up, but I won't lie, I had fantasized the pediatrician would suggest supplementation to ease these feedings. Fortunately for her (to my selfish disappointment) Dr said she is gaining weight right on time. Here's the deal...
Firstly, like I said before she's gaining weight perfectly. She had lost quite a bit in the hospital but after being given nipple sheilds on our discharge day she's been gaining appropriately. She also has plenty of wet/dirty diapers a day. Over 6 of each, sometimes over 8. These are the only things that reassure me that my milk supply is not low and I am at least feeding her sufficiently.
OK so the problem is that I let her eat until she says when. This can be anywhere from 8 minutes on 1 side to 40 (and then the only reason I switch is to give that breast a break and put her on the other). I let her "pop - off" the breast normally, which happens after she's fallen asleep for some time and pulls herself off. Then I try to redress her or swaddle her and lay her in her co-sleeper and the minute movement happens she starts crying inconsolably again until I let her nurse. We do try burping to rouse her before immediately thinking she's actually sleeping well and if that doesn't get her to fuss like she wants the breast is when I try to set her down to get some sleep myself.
What does this mean?? Is she just comfort nursing? And if so how can she distinguish the difference between my breast and the pacifier? I've realized some of it was comfort nursing and give her the pacifier but sometimes that doesn't seem to be enough, even after I just watched her fall asleep at the breast the 2nd time I've had to work to rouse her and pull herself off.
I just want my baby to be happy and I get so frustrated after a long feeding when she still doesn't seem satisfied... I just want to make sense of this (and to hear it gets better!) So if you have any advice PLEASE lay it on me!

text: sorry the only link I could find to this story was on Heitkamp's FB page. What I gathered was a group of deer hunters were hunting some property last fall that they had permission on. They traveled down a section line and parked and began walking. In the meantime, a Stutsman county game warden spotted the group and started down the same section line to check things out. He was not paying attention and ran his truck into a very large rock causing major damage to his rig. Now the state is suing and charging the farmer who had placed the rock along the trail. What is everybody's opinion on this?

Oct. 22, 2005
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. - The MIT rifle team traveled to Mass Maritime Saturday to compete against the Buccaneers' co-ed squad and came away with its fourth consecutive shoulder-to-shoulder match victory to open the 2005 campaign. The Engineers' smallbore unit of Taylor Barton, Anton Katz, Jake Latcham and Nathan Pfaff set a new team-high for the season to pace the win.
MIT shot 2167 to Maritime's 1923 in smallbore, while the air rifle team of Barton, Katz, Pfaff, and Wes McKinney dominated MMA's co-ed lineup, 2166 to 1896, to keep the Cardinal and Gray undefeated in both guns.
Personal records were abound in Saturday's victory as new shooting new highs were recorded by Jonathan Barnham in both guns; Anton Katz in both guns; Jake Lacham in air; Wes McKinney in smallbore; and Nathan Pfaff smallbore. Katz was the top marksman on the day, shooting a match-best 584 in air and 578 in smallbore. Pfaff finished just off Anton's clip in smallbore with a score of 561.
On Saturday morning, October 29, the MIT rifle team will host national power house Navy.

Maybe one way to look at it is that even if she really does want the 5 oz at a shot, it's really not going to hurt her to be short an oz occasionally, and you'd rather be getting that extra oz "from the tap" - especially given you're coming in to feed at lunchtime. And DJsmom made some good points about things that might be concerning in the short term. So better to err on the side of less than more. But if you're really convinced that she's hungry after the 4 oz bottle (and not just a little fussy or willing to eat more), I say go with what works.
I like the idea of freezing it to make it that extra step - even if you trust the DCP. Just to have that extra check against misinterpreting "willing" and "needing".

Crabmaster's draft would look terrific apart from the fine details in the grass. However, the size of the graphic will have to be reduced for in-game use.
I agree with hutty that it might have to be used as an alternative. Plenty of levels use the grass as your main floor and so it would change the appearance of many levels.

ReleasesBack to
Lex Humphries
Tender Feelin's is an appropriate title for Duke Pearson's second album for Blue Note. The record is a lovely, relaxed collection of ballads, standards, and jazz staples, with a few originals thrown in for good measure. Since Pearson sticks to the trio format, supported by bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Lex Humphries, the mood of the album remains intimate and low-key. Pearson flourishes in this setting, whether he's playing blues, romantic ballads, or surprisingly lyrical improvised solos. Pearson would later explore more adventurous territory, as well as funkier grooves, but Tender Feelin's remains a wonderfully understated, romantic mainstream jazz record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
