Apple's much-awaited wearable watch, it appears, will be called iTime, not iWatch.
Apple was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office for a "wrist-worn electronic device."
One of the illustrations in the filing with the US Patent office refers to the device as iTime, instead of iWatch, the speculated name of the upcoming Apple device.
Based on the patent, Apple envisions a smartwatch with a range of functions, including notifying the user of incoming messages and allowing a user to remotely control other devices.
"An incoming phone call, a text message, a social network post, or a news feed directed to a user\'s electronic device (e.g., mobile phone) can cause a notification to be provided to a nearby electronic wristband of the user," the document said.
The electronic wristband can also "provide remote user controls to a user."
"For example, when a portable media player is playing a media item, the portable media player can be controlled by one or more user controls made available by the electronic wristwatch," the document said.
News of the iTime patent comes as Apple is gearing up for its fiscal-third quarter earnings report, and for a busy fall season when it's expected to unwrap new products, including a new iPhone and a wearable watch.
In fact, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi says Apple\'s results will probably "take a back seat this quarter to anticipation around Apple's upcoming product cycles."
"Apple is expected to announce an iWatch in the fall, which would be the first new product category introduction since the iPad four years ago and the first new product since CEO Tim Cook took the helm," he told clients in a note.

An organization chart or org chart is a diagram that shows the hierarchical structure of an organization. Usually a chart starts with a higher or superior level and branches downward to subordinate levels.
An organizational chart of a company usually shows the managers and sub-workers who make up an organization. It also shows the relationships between the organization's staff members. Such charts are helpful to show a new employee where he fits in the organization.
In many large companies the organization chart can be large and incredibly complicated and is therefore sometimes dissected into smaller charts for each individual department within the organization. RFFlow allows you to add hyperlinks so you can click on a shape and jump to another chart.

The MTBF rates quoted by the manufacturers are one indicator of disk reliability, but from a practical point of view the number of years of warranty coverage on the disk is a more useful metric. The manufacturer has an incentive to be sure that those disks with a 5 year warranty really will last 5 years. Unclear to me what their incentive is to support the MTBF rates since only a sustained and careful testing regimen over many, many disks could challenge the manufacturer's figures. And who would run such an analysis??? Buy the 5 year disk and you'll have a working disk, or a replacement for it, for 5 years. In some uses it would clearly be cheaper to use (S)ATA disks and replace them as they fail, so long as they don't fail 4x faster than the Cheetahs. Google around for "disk reliability" though and you'll find some real horror stories about disk failure rates in, for instance, SCSI -> ATA RAID arrays. > > the real question is whether "server" disks make sense in your application. > what are the advantages? > > 1. longer warranty - 5yrs vs typical 3ys for commodity disks. > this rule is currently being broken by Seagate. the main caveat > is whether you will want that disk (and/or server) in 3-5 years. Generally yes, we do want that disk to still be working at 5 years.

Exactly. It's very, very hard to figure out just how much reliability one is trading for the lower price. Anecdotally, for heavy disk usage, it's apparently a lot. Anecdotally, for low disk usuage, ATA disks aren't all that reliable either. > > 3. very narrow recording band, higher RPM, lower track density. > these are all features that optimize for low and relatively > consistent seek performance. in fact, the highest RPM disks actually > *don't* have the highest sustained bandwidth - "consumer" disks are > lower RPM, but have higher recording density and bandwidth. Right. On the other hand, anecdotal evidence suggests that an application like, for instance, a busy Oracle database running on top of RAID - ATA storage will result in a very high rate of disk failure, whereas the equivalent RAID - SCSI/FC Cheetah solution will not suffer an equivalent disk failure rate. Again, from Google results, not personal experience. Well, not much personal experience, we do have a 4 disk FC Raid in one Sun server and have not lost a disk yet (coming up on 2 years). My personal experience with ATA disks in servers has been limited. A smallish Solaris server configured with "cutting edge, large capacity" ATA disks failed an IBM and the replacement Western Digital in 1 month each. Backing way off on the capacity and going to older 40Gb IBM ATA disks did the trick, with no further disk failures in 3 years. > > 4. SCSI or FC. always has been and apparently always will be > significantly more expensive infrastructure than PATA was > or SATA is. Agreed. I'd be perfectly happy to buy SATA or PATA disks _IF_ they were as reliable as the more expensive SCSI or FC disks. It would help a lot to have some objective measure of that. When Seagate starts selling 5 year SATA disks I'll consider buying them. > > so really, you have to work to imagine the application that > perfectly suits a "server" disk. for instance, you can > obtain whatever level of reliability > you want from raid, rather than ultra-premium-spec disks. In theory. In practice local experience (another lab) was that the RAID - ATA solution failed, twice, and was unable to rebuild from what was left, with all data lost. Maybe that was the controller or just a really bad set of disks. I wasn't there to witness the teeth gnashing and finger pointing. This wasn't a tier one storage vendor (Sun, EMC, HP, etc.) so they saved some money. Or did they??? There's also a school of thought that RAID arrays should be "disk scrubbed" frequently (all blocks on all disks read) to force hardware failures and block remapping to occur early enough so that the redundant information present in the array can rebuild from what's left. As opposed to a worst case where the data is written once, not touched for a year, and then fails unrecoverably when a read hits multiple bad blocks. > is your data > access pattern really one which requires a disk optimized for seeks? On the beowulf not so much. Most of the workload has been configured so that the compute nodes have their data cached in memory and only read the disks hard when booting up and the first time they read their databases. On the Sun Oracle server, much more so. > > under what circumstances will you have a 100% duty cycle? Probably never?

I'd be a lot more comfortable buying the cheaper disks if there was some objective measure for an accurate prediction of their actual longevity. I tend to look at it from the other direction. A disk failure on the head node is a much bigger deal than a disk failure on the compute nodes. Also the number of disks involved is likely to be less for the former than the latter. That is, one might have 10 disks in a RAID on the head node but 70 ATA disks out on the compute nodes. So it might cost a couple of thousand more to use the most reliable disks available on the head node, but it's most likely worth it to avoid having to replace those critical components. Conversely, the number of compute nodes isn't usually critical so there's not as much reason to pay for more expensive disks there.

Genetic Variant Greatly Increases Lung Cancer Risk for Light, Non-Smokers
Genetic Variant Greatly Increases Lung Cancer Risk for Light, Non-Smokers
March 2010
"Smoking is a poison for everybody," said co-author Joan Bailey-Wilson, Ph.D., a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) statistical geneticist and co-chief of NHGRI's Inherited Disease Research Branch. "For these folks, just a small amount of smoking puts them at high risk for lung cancer."
Each year, more than 1 million people worldwide die from lung cancer, including more than 150,000 in the United States. Smoking is by far the greatest risk factor for lung cancer and is associated with more than 75 percent of lung cancer deaths. The authors of the study point out the added importance of smoking prevention and early cancer detection procedures for individuals with a family history of lung cancer.
The analysis is part of a larger research initiative known as the Genetic Epidemiology of Lung Cancer Consortium (GELCC), a family study of lung cancer that has been ongoing for more than 10 years. The NHGRI and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are among 12 participating research institutions and universities across the country engaged in the research.
The researchers followed up on clues from the study of 93 families who have had at least two incidences of lung cancer among relatives. Among those 1,500 individuals, nearly 500 were affected with lung cancer. In a 2004 study conducted by GELCC, the researchers identified a large region on human chromosome 6 that conferred a greater lung cancer risk in a subset of families with many affected individuals. In April 2009, the group identified a gene, RGS17, that is located in this region on chromosome 6, and that is associated with an increased susceptibility to lung cancer in family members with a history of the disease. Work is ongoing to determine if variants in the RGS17 gene account for increased lung cancer risk in the GELCC families that are linked to chromosome 6q.
The goal of the present study was to further characterize this previously noted signature of genetic susceptibility on chromosome 6q. This signature for lung cancer susceptibility was within a longer stretch of DNA than the RGS17 gene itself — a portion of chromosome 6q called a haplotype, containing multiple genes that tend to be inherited together.
To organize their data, the researchers divided smoking exposures into four categories: those whose smoking habit could be characterized as never, light, moderate or heavy.
For family members without the genetic lung cancer risk haplotype, the risk of developing the disease tracked closely with the level of smoking. As would be expected, heavy smokers take on a significantly greater risk of developing lung cancer than moderate smokers, who are at a significantly greater risk than light smokers.
But in family members with the genetic risk haplotype, even light smoking resulted in a greatly increased risk for developing lung cancer, "about 3-fold higher than in light smokers with unknown carrier status or non-carrier status," said Dr. Bailey-Wilson. This result stands out further because the risk of developing lung cancer in light smokers who carried the risk haplotype was very similar to the risk in moderate and heavy smokers who carry the susceptibility variant. However, in smokers, the risk of lung cancer was higher in carriers of the risk haplotype than in non-carriers for all levels of exposure. This suggests that any degree of smoking exposure confers high risk of lung cancer in family members with the risk haplotype.
"The findings are really intriguing and are consistent with everything else we have seen in past studies looking for major risk alleles for lung cancer," said Dr. Bailey-Wilson, explaining that the work is an ongoing effort. "More studies will need to be done to further define the risks and to explain the linkage signal in this region. If we determine exactly which gene is involved and how it works to increase cancer risk, it may help us target people who have extremely high risk from second-hand smoke and it may help us understand how lung carcinogenesis occurs. This might allow for better treatments and for targeted smoking cessation efforts."
Currently, there is no publically available genetic screening for the genetic variant on 6q responsible for this lung cancer susceptibility effect. Regarding advice to the public, Dr. Bailey-Wilson notes, "Anyone who smokes has a high risk of lung cancer, as well as increased risk for other diseases. Our best advice is to not smoke and to avoid exposure to passive tobacco smoke."

Here are the Top 10 factors affecting the tightening world wheat market, according to a report from U.S. Wheat Associates:
Canadian planting down 17 percent, the smallest crop since 1970, exports off 22 percent, hot/dry weather has affected yields.
World ending stocks drop to 30-year low; export origin holdings down 40 percent.
Australia stocks low, 2008 crop looking good.
Argentine wheat crop is fully committed, government may restrict exports.
Heavy rains deteriorate Western European crop quality, EU export taxes discussed.
Drought hits Eastern Europe and Ukraine crops, weather damage in Russia, low stocks, export restrictions imposed.
North African drought, Morocco crop down 76 percent, imports double to 3 million metric tons.
Ocean freight transportation rates at record highs.
U.S. winter wheat crop missed production expectations.
Corn/wheat price spread at record level.
According to USDA's August world wheat outlook, forecast world wheat production for 2007-2008 was reduced 2 million tons to 610 million tons. The forecasted foreign wheat production declined 1.2 million tons from July to 552.9 million tons.
The largest drop was for the EU-27, which declined 1.7 million tons to 124.9 million tons. Excessive rains across Northern Europe and drought in the Southeast were not favorable for crop production, and forecasts for wheat production were reduced for France, Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, and Hungary.
Wheat production projected for 12 countries of the former Soviet Union increased 1.25 million tons to 85.5 million tons. Good rains and favorable temperatures boosted spring wheat production prospects in Russia and Kazakhstan, each up 500,000 tons in August. Harvest reports in Ukraine indicated a wheat crop of 13.3 million tons, up fractionally.
Wheat production for India increased 1.2 million tons to 74.9 million tons, according to the Indian government. Favorable growing conditions and strong prices at planting support the increases in area and yield.
Extremely hot dry conditions during July in parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan cut Canada's wheat production prospects by 1 million tons to 21.5 million tons. A cold dry winter in parts of Turkey cut wheat production 500,000 tons to 15.5 million. Scattered cold and dry conditions also trimmed prospects for wheat production in Brazil.
World wheat consumption in 2007-2008 is projected to reach 620.5 million tons, up slightly from July.
Rain which fell on the wheat harvest in Northern Europe reduced wheat quality, which resulted in prospects for wheat feed use increasing 500,000 tons to 57.5 million tons.
Increased production and stocks in Ukraine boosted both feed and food use prospects for 2007-2008, putting wheat use up 400,000 tons from July to 11.9 million tons.
For Morocco, strong imports at the end of 2006-2007 boosted stocks for the start of 2007-2008 and increased food use prospects 300,000 tons to 7.1 million tons.
Projected global wheat ending stocks for 2007-2008 were reduced 1.8 million tons in August to 114.8 million tons, due to the combination of reduced production and increased use. Projected global ending stocks are down 10.1 million tons compared with a year earlier and would be the lowest since 1981-1982.
Importers' recent buying pace indicates continued strong demand for wheat despite relatively high prices.
Projected world wheat trade for 2007-2008 increased 1 million tons to 108 million tons. With reduced production, EU-27 wheat imports are projected 500,000 tons higher at 6.5 million tons. Croatia's import prospects increased slightly and unaccounted imports were increased.
Competition among exporters for 2007-2008 is dynamic, according to USDA. Australia's exports for 2006-07 (July-June) were reduced in August, leaving more supplies to be exported in early 2007-2008. Exports are projected 500,000 tons higher to 14.5 million tons.
Reduced production and high internal prices are expected to limit EU-27 exports, which are projected 500,000 tons lower, at 11.5 million tons. Russia has improved production prospects for spring wheat and has been selling aggressively, boosting projected exports 500,000 tons to 11 million tons.

SZITIC Commercial Property Co Ltd, which sold a stake in two of its malls to U.S. private equity firm Carlyle Group LP in May, plans an up to $1 billion Hong Kong IPO as soon as the fourth quarter of 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Shenzhen-based shopping mall developer hired JPMorgan and China International Capital Corp (CICC) to handle the initial public offering, the paper said.

The deal could come by the end of the year or in the first quarter of 2014, it added.
SZITIC sold a 49 percent stake in the malls, located in second-tier cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou, to Carlyle for an undisclosed sum.

The PowerShot A1400 is a compact, easy-to-use camera that retains the familiar feel of a classic point-and-shoot. Its large grip is easy to grasp and comfortable to hold, while the Optical Viewfinder is ideal for capturing photos in bright sunlight. A 16.0 Megapixel sensor and the DIGIC 4 Image Processor deliver stunning images with amazing detail. The 5x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle lens brings you in close for grand shots, and Smart AUTO makes shooting beautiful images effortless, analyzing the scene and choosing the optimal settings from 32 predefined shooting situations. When the fun is on the move, capture it all in 720p HD Video using the dedicated movie button. The PowerShot A1400 runs on two convenient AA-alkaline batteries, readily available when and where you need it, and the new ECO Mode conserves power so you will still be ready to take photos long after the party is over.
Canon Reviews
Top quality optics, dependability, and convenience of use are just some of the reasons that customers choose Canon digital cameras. One of the top makers of digital cameras in the world today, Canon has attained a reputation for creating some of the best digital cameras and digital SLRs available on the market. Canon cameras are inevitably on the camera wish list of any consumer that desires a high quality camera.
Canon is not generally a cheap brand by any means. In spite of this, Canon digital cameras have achieved the best buy status. This proves that you get great value for the extra money. In the past few years, Canon has begun releasing several types that are more inexpensive, without cutting quality.
Canon cameras come in two main types—the smallest is the Powershot line, compact, point-and-shoot cameras that still maintain a reasonable level of image quality. Canon Powershot cameras range from budget point-and-shoots like the ELPH 115 to an advanced compact with a 1.5" sensor, the G1X Mark II. Typically, if you are going to buy a point-and-shoot on nothing but the reputation of the brand, Canon is a pretty safe bet.
The second type of Canon camera is the EOS line—the DSLRs. The EOS line has a solid reputation as well for performance across the board, including video. Canon has a wide range of options available too, from top of the line full frame professional models to small, entry-level DSLRs.
While other manufacturers are concentrating on mirrorless models and packing more power into smaller cameras, Canon doesn't seem to be following that trend exactly. They've released some smaller DSLRs like the SL1, but haven't been putting time into mirrorless models. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of personal opinion, but the models that are out there are, more often than not, solid performers.
We here at Digital Camera HQ offer unbiased, informative reviews and recommendations to guide you to the right camera. We're not an actual store; we're just here to help you find the perfect camera at the best price possible by using our camera grades. Let us know if you have any problems or questions, we're happy to help.

Eating out is a feast in Lima. Foodies have acclaimed Lima as the gourmet capital of South America. The ingredients for some of Peru's exciting dishes come from all around the country: the mountains, the Amazon rainforest and of course the coast. The fresh fish and sea life of the Pacific Ocean offers Lima's chefs beautiful ingredients to transform into delicious dishes, such as ceviche.
It is not surprising that fish plays a leading role in many Peruvian dishes; the alternating warm and cold currents off the coast stimulate an abundant sea life. The national dish is ceviche (or 'cebiche'), a dish with fresh raw fish that is 'cooked' in lemon juice and available on every street corner. Each region has its own way of preparing the dish, but Lima offers the greatest variety served either in authentic cevicherias or in exclusive restaurants.
The local inhabitants of Peru already made a precursor to the ceviche, long before the 16th-century arrival of the Spaniards. They marinated the fresh raw fish in tumbo, a type of passion fruit, which they later traded in for the lemons introduced by the Spaniards. Interestingly enough, the delicious tender ceviche we eat today has been strongly influenced by Japanese chefs. In the 1970s they experimented with curing raw fish by pickling it for a few minutes. Peruvians call this spicy marinade of chilli peppers, salt and red onions 'leche de tigre', or tiger milk.
Canta Rana, 'laughing frog', is a classic cevicheria in the Barranco neighbourhood. The ceiling is decorated with a colourful collection of flags and football shirts, and there is the constant hum of chatting families sitting around the wooden tables. It is busy for a good reason: the word is that this restaurant serves the best ceviche in Lima. Deliciously spicy and extremely tender. The menu offers at least 17 varieties that taste even better with a sip of 'chicha morada', the sweet purple corn soda.
Canta Rana, Genova 101, Barranco, Lima
A few hundred metres down you will find Amor Amar. The impressive door hides a culinary treasure that could easily be overlooked by an inattentive passer-by: a contemporary restaurant where you can enjoy ceviche and other classic Peruvian dishes with a modern twist. Famous chefs Albert Luis Schilotto and Victor Away Chang-Say surprise their guests with exclusive fish dishes. There is no need to hurry as the restaurant's stylish patio is a wonderful place to spend a few hours eating al fresco.
"Chefs at Amor Amar serve their guests beautiful culinary creations"

Energy Alliances, Inc., your aggregation partner, wanted to alert you to the fact that a higher than expected number of aggregation participants have left your program in the last few weeks. This can be due in part to people moving in and out of the area, but primarily we are seeing drops due to:
• Door-to-door solicitations
• Telephone solicitations
• Solicitors aggressively marketing inside of retailers such as Menards, Sam's Club, etc.
The sales tactics for the above solicitations are aggressive, sometimes misleading and many times in violation of the Public Utility Commission's rules for marketing. Additionally, terms and conditions often include low introductory prices and purposely hide, in fine print, the often exorbitant price after the relatively short (1 to 3 month) introductory term. These offers may also include hefty early termination fees and/or other terms which may be objectionable to the customer (such as automatic roll-over provisions). Many times, door-to-door solicitors ask to see a resident's Duke bill on the pretext of confirming their current rate, then obtain pertinent information from the bill and switch the account without the resident's consent or knowledge. Residents should be cautioned to never let anyone trying to sell them something see a copy of their bill.
Residents should be aware that PUCO regulations require sales agents to immediately identify themselves and their company and explain why they are speaking with them. Solicitors must wear an identification badge displaying their photo and full name and the name, logo, and phone number of the company they are representing.
Residents who feel they were pressured into switching have rights: they can immediately call Duke Energy to rescind their enrollment or wait for the Duke Energy letter acknowledging the switch, then call the number provided to rescind the switch during the allotted rescission period.
If a resident feels they were inappropriately switched, they can call the PUCO at (800) 686-PUCO (7826) and lodge a complaint. Residents should always write down the company, the name of the person they spoke with and any other pertinent information (such as promises made, prices and terms offered, etc.). They can also use their cell phone to take a photo of the solicitor's badge and get a supervisor's phone number for their records.
Community aggregation programs continue to be one of the best ways for residents to get a reliable energy supply at a reasonable price from a trustworthy company that community leaders have vetted and chosen.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 15 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
Raw Chef Steph, http://www.rawchefsteph.com
I am a starting out Raw Food's nutrition professional who is passionate about spreading news and information about the books, foods, and products I love. Right now I have a pretty simple site, and want to create a blog and start writing articles. I want it to be a good resource for food and nutrition information, having the blog be the main site . I like a simple look still, but just really professional and trustworthy looking. I teach Raw Vegan Culinary classes out of my home, ideally I want people to sign up for a class while on this site.
There will be an e-commerce shop, where people will be able to purchase classes.
Anyone interested in healthy lifestyle and healthy eating. People searching for healthy eating tips on the internet. People looking to learn more about the raw foods lifestyle, or just simply learning how to add more fruits and vegetables into their diet. Outdoorsy people, cooks, natural foodies, people who like organic products, people who would shop at whole foods, etc.
I want this blog to look very neat and clean. I also want it to be colorful (pictures of fresh healthy food) and modern looking.
I want the front page to be the blog I update regularly. The main column for articles and another one or two columns to be for buttons showing upcoming classes and best books to buy.
I would like a picture of me somewhere close to the top so people can see I am a real person.
In my site you can see that my newsletter is a little hidden. I would like a "Newsletter sign-up" button in the top corner of the blog to increase sign-ups. In that button say get free recipes and a chance to win a free class.
I want a permanent standing video feature (for example like http://www.ethicurean.com/.) I haven't set them up yet, but I want social media links too. And room for some product banners.Also a layered PSD file.
I think this is a nice look: http://www.summertomato.com
Most of all have fun with it! I trust you :)

The key to any successful exterior trim and moulding renovation project is choosing the right dance partner. How will you know when that moment comes? Oh, you'll know. You'll see it in the enthusiastic head nod that says, "I get your ideas and tastes and can make them happen with roughly the amount of money you want to spend." A head nod can say a lot.
Of course to get to that extremely positive place, there are a few steps you should take before the first trimboard is mounted.
Neighbors, colleagues, friends and family who live in the area and are aware of a contractor's reputation all make great sounding boards. Can't stop looking at their trim and moulding and admiring how it feels so simpatico with their siding? Ask them about their experience. What turned out as promised? What gave them trim and moulding nightmares for months?
You know who else makes great references? Other building pros who work with contractors. They include anyone from building supply distributors to real estate agents to bank lenders. Use the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) website as an industry resource and education tool. Considering remodeling professionals who are ethics code–following NARI members is always a good idea.
Have your top three contractors yet? Of course not. You need to ask some questions first. Here are some basic but crucial questions with the desired answers:
Q: Do you have an office in the area?
A: Why yes—in order to better to serve you. We have fresh coffee!
Q: Do you carry general liability and workers' comp insurance?
A: Yup. That way if I put a hole in your den wall or one of my workers fractures something you won't be held responsible.
Q: Do you have referrals or references you can show me?
A: Everyone loves us. Will 10 names and phone numbers do?
Q: You say you stand behind your work. How?
A: In addition to a manufacturer's material warranty, we'll provide a workmanship warranty detailing how our work will comply with the manufacturer's warranty requirements and installation specifications.
Q: Do you use your own installers or subcontractors?
A: Mostly our own installers, plus a few subcontractors we would stake our livelihoods on. We closely manage every aspect of every exterior trim and moulding job.
You've considered recommendations and checked track records and customer and subcontractor complaint histories with your local Better Business Bureau chapter. You're down to a scant few almost-winners, and it's important to meet them in person. Body language, chemistry and similar ways of communicating are vital and are best confirmed face to face.
If things go well you may form a final opinion after these meetings, but hold on. There are a few more things to cover, such as:
While many siding and trim remodeling work contracts are relatively straightforward, the contract you sign should match what you've discussed and reflect the aspects of the project that are most important to you. Look for details like these:

|Fatigue related to HIV Meds
Apr 5, 2008
Wanted to elicit feedback regarding the relationship of HIV drug related-fatigue.
My experience w/the virus has been fairly unlucky. Got infected 6/2006 and by 9/2007 I was symptomatic (intense fatigue and skin prob) my T count dropped from 1144 to 721 in the space of nine months. My virus is not Rx resistant per my labs.
I started meds (Epzicom & Kaletra) on 12/1/07 (T ~650) and w/in four wks my T was back to 1360 and VRL was down to 429. No rash or sever reaction to the Kaletra.
I returned to my pre-symptom energy level for about four weeks and then the fatigue reappeared so I had my levels taken and they were 1240 and VRL was 190.
While fatigue can be caused by depression and anxiety, I was feeling mentally great and very hopeful. I was exercising, I didn't(don't) use recreational drugs and slept 7+ hrs a night
Accordingly, it would seem to me that my fatigue's major driver is the medication.
What are your thoughts?
Response from Dr. Frascino
There are many potential underlying causes that can contribute to HIV-associated fatigue, including anemia, hormonal imbalances, occult infections, medication side effects/toxicities, psychological causes, etc. Many times the underlying cause of HIV-related fatigue turns out to be multifactorial. That means several underlying conditions are working in tandem to drain your energy batteries. I'd suggest you take a read through the archives of this forum to gain a better understanding of the common and not-so-common potential underlying causes of HIV-related fatigue. Make a list and then discuss these potential causes with your HIV specialist. To assume your problem is solely or even primarily caused by your medication is premature.
Good luck.

There are some sick people out there – and I'm not talking about the ones with RA!March 25, 2014 at 10:00 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 3 Comments
Tags: 'National Institute for Health and Care Excellence', CBC, computer virus, crime, NICE, spam, virus
I got this in my email yesterday morning, purporting to be from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).
Dear [email address removed] We have been sent a sample of your blood analysis for further research. During the complete blood count (CBC) we have revealed that white blood cells is very low, and unfortunately we have a suspicion of a cancer. Wite Blood cells 1200 Low Hemoglobin 12 Normal Platelets 19000 Low We suggest you to print out your CBC test results and interpretations in attachment below and visit your family doctor as soon as possible Sincerely,Dr. Avery Ernie National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
My first instinct was to laugh – for so many reasons. Honestly, can't these spammers do their research properly? NICE doesn't stand for that at all – and your average doctor can probably spell 'white' too. Then there's the fact that NICE don't do any research or analyse any samples. (All they are there for, as far as I can see, is to decide if drugs are too expensive for patients to benefit from!) Not to mention the fact that blood samples don't go whizzing around the country for 'further research' without my permission, and when they do, since I'm part of an epidemiological study, they are anonymised.
However, my second reaction was absolute fury – I presume the 'attached' was some sort of virus or other nasty, so what if this had gone to some really vulnerable person, not overly familiar with silly spamming tactics and actually awaiting the results of blood tests for possible cancer? The last thing someone in that situation needs is some moron to cause their computer to crash or steal their bank details or whatever other nasty things these people do these days!
I was reading this morning about medieval punishment practices; a seller of off wine for instance would be hauled to the pillory, forced to drink a draft of his off wine and have the rest poured over his head before being locked in to the pillory – most unpleasant – but too good for these people, I can't help thinking! I shall be daydreaming of suitable ways to punish these people if they're ever caught! <evil grin>

If such a thing existed, that would be wonderful! Nobody can ever really understand RA until they experience it for themselves.
Spammers are the worst! I've never heard of them sending e-mails like that before though. That is crazy

In research that could help in the search for an HIV vaccine, "American researchers have minutely tracked one person's powerful immune response to the virus to see how a series of mutations led to an antibody that can defeat many HIV strains," the New York Times reports (McNeil, 4/3). "In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers showed how a virus that had recently infected an African patient battled powerful proteins called 'broadly neutralizing antibodies,' which few HIV patients have but which can target thousands of strains of HIV," the Wall Street Journal notes, adding that following the patient for two years "allowed them to pinpoint how the powerful antibodies develop and evolve -- a question that scientists have been seeking to answer for years" (McKay, 4/3). Barton Haynes of Duke University, one of the study's authors, "said the challenge now was to see if re-creating those steps could lead to a viable vaccine," BBC News writes (Gallagher, 4/3). "A Nature statement said it remained to be seen whether or not the finding could be used to develop an effective vaccine," Agence France-Presse notes (4/3).

A New Era for HIV Health Care
Spring 2011
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. It is the most important piece of health care reform legislation since Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965. Health care reform presents a great opportunity to increase access to affordable care, treatment, and prevention services. But the devil is in the details, and its potential depends on reform being implemented in ways that truly meet the needs of people with HIV. In addition, there are shortcomings in the law that the HIV community must address.
The health care reform law means major changes are on the horizon for our entire health care system, and for HIV care in particular. We must begin an open and honest discussion about what these changes mean for those living with HIV. In this changing environment -- one in which thousands of people with HIV will have access to public and private insurance for the first time -- the role of Ryan White programs will change dramatically. Ryan White programs have been the primary providers of HIV care, treatment, and services for over 20 years. Yet in recent years funding has fallen far short of demand, and people are increasingly unable to get the care they need. Health care reform will greatly help to address the problems caused by inadequate funding and increased need.
The future of HIV care must include integration of Ryan White services into newly created health care systems. This is no small task and will involve difficult decisions and changes to the current order. We must work to make sure these newly created opportunities work and that the inevitable challenges are addressed so that all people with HIV get the care they deserve.
What Does Health Care Reform Mean for People With HIV?
Medicaid Expansion
Nearly 30% of people with HIV are uninsured, and up to 59% are not in regular care. Medicaid's requirement that a low-income person with HIV be disabled by AIDS to be eligible for the program has been a huge barrier. The single most important piece of health care reform for people with HIV is the elimination of this cruel "catch-22."
Starting in 2014, low-income people with HIV will no longer be forced to wait until they are disabled by AIDS to be eligible for Medicaid. Instead, most people who make up to 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL; about $14,000 for an individual and $29,000 for a family of four) will be eligible based on income alone. In addition, people newly eligible for the program will be entitled to a benefits package that includes, at a minimum, the same "essential health benefits" required for all health plans sold in the private insurance exchanges created by the health care reform law.
Medicare Part D Reforms
Uninterrupted access to medication is essential for the treatment of HIV. Currently, Medicare Part D has a funding gap known as the "doughnut hole" (people are responsible for paying $4,550 for their meds after Medicare has paid $2,830) leaving many unable to afford lifesaving medications. The following reforms will help people with HIV:
Access to Private Insurance
People with HIV (as well as millions of others in the U.S.) will be able to purchase private insurance more easily. Starting in 2014, every state will be required to put in place an exchange that will serve as a marketplace for people to purchase individual and small group health insurance plans. Subsidies will be available to people who earn up to 400% of the FPL (about $43,000 for an individual) to make private insurance more affordable. Plans sold through the exchanges must include "essential health benefits," the details of which will be determined by the federal government.
Elimination of Discriminatory Insurance Practices
Because of harmful insurance practices, it is currently not possible for a person with HIV to buy individual private insurance. In addition, the private coverage available is often limited and does not cover the HIV services needed. Health care reform eliminates many of these harmful practices.
Prevention and Public Health Investments
Millions of new dollars invested in prevention initiatives, community health centers, and expansions of the health care workforce will mean that people with HIV will have access to comprehensive care from a variety of new sources. Community health centers, for instance, will receive $11 billion over the next five years to expand. This will allow some Ryan White clinics to become Federally Qualified Health Centers and provides an opportunity to ensure that existing community health centers provide necessary HIV care, treatment, and prevention services. New investments also mean that many newly insured people with HIV will gain access to HIV prevention services and that there will be more health care providers available.
The Way Forward
Health care reform represents a huge shift in both the health care system and the philosophy behind it. The emphasis on prevention and wellness, community interventions, and integrated models of care has major implications for HIV services and providers, particularly with regard to the Ryan White program. For many people with HIV, care has been provided by distinct programs in separate health care settings. Through these programs, we have developed expertise in coordinated and "whole patient" care, creating a blueprint for the "health home" models that feature prominently in the health care reform law.
But the health care reform train is out of the station. Even the greatest supporters of HIV care and Ryan White programs in the administration and Congress are telling us that the current separate approach to HIV care is no longer tenable. They insist that it will be in the best interests of the thousands of people with HIV who will have access to public and private insurance for the first time for us to put our efforts into making sure that health care reform works for people with HIV.
We know that even after health care reform is implemented, there will continue to be a need for the specialized HIV care, treatment, and support services provided through the Ryan White Program. So we must begin thinking about what the future of HIV services in general, and Ryan White in particular, should look like. This is especially important given the fact that Ryan White funding has not been enough to meet demand. Moreover, if the HIV community continues to rely solely on Ryan White to ensure that the needs of people with HIV are met, we will have missed an important opportunity to gain access to the billions of dollars in new funding streams included in health care reform. Further, we will have missed an opportunity to integrate the coordinated service delivery model that is the hallmark of the Ryan White Program into the new, larger-scale reforms.

This discussion centers on cost comparisons, challenges with UV inks, and how photoinitiators work.
By Gail Flower
In Part I of this article (Screen Printing, June/July 2010, p. 26) suppliers and industry experts were asked about improvements, comparisons, and problems with UV inks. In Part II, these same professionals were asked specifics on cost comparisons, challenges with UV inks, and how photoinitiators work.
What are cost comparisons between UV inks and solvent-based ones?
Larry Hettinger While ink cost per gallon is slightly higher for UV inks, cost in-use is less due to increased space utilization, faster turn rates, lower ink consumption, and less energy required.
UV inks are more expensive than solvent inks because of the individual ink components cost. However, the higher mileage of UV inks helps to offset their higher per-gallon cost, and is one of the reasons why UV inks can deliver cost savings in use when compared with solvent inks. Further savings are achieved by the increased productivity and reduced down time associated with UV inks. Because UV ink experiences no loss during printing or curing and all of the ink printed on the substrate is incorporated into the cured ink film, UV inks permit the use of much finer mesh counts than would be used for solvent-based inks. The difference results in significantly higher area coverage per unit of ink.
Continuous UV curing units are energy efficient, using only 10-50% of the energy consumed by a hot air dryer. Flash curing units are even more energy and cost efficient. Unlike solvent inks, there is no need to install expensive pollution-control measures when using UV inks. Not only does this provide a considerable savings in terms of capital outlay, but it also further reduces energy and waste-disposal costs.
Robin McMillan UV inks may typically cost more than solvent-based inks, but they can ultimately save customers by as much as 30%, depending on the market and printers they use.
Johnny Shell, Ray Greenwood, and Jeff Burton While the waste and maintenance costs are less for UV systems, start-up and operating costs are higher. In particular, ink costs are two to four times more expensive due to higher raw material costs. However, with solvent systems, a large percent evaporates into the air, so more (by volume) is used when compared to UV.

Miley Cyrus Recovers With Pancake Party After Hospital [PHOTO]
It seems that Miley Cyrus is making strides in her recovery after her health scare that forced her to put the U.S. portion of her Bangerz Tour on hold until August!
After what was described as an extreme allergic reaction to the antibiotic called Cephalexin, Miley was hospitalized in Kansas City and was forced to cancel the remaining U.S. stops on the Bangerz Tour. The 'Wrecking Ball' singer was hospitalized for a little over a week before getting the O.K. to go home a few days ago.
It seems that the pop singer is in good spirits again as she posted the above photo on Instagram of her biting into a pancake and wearing a t-shirt that says, "Don't Let Those Motherf-----s Kill Our Vibe." She tags her friend Katy Weaver in the photo, who posted her own Instagram video saying, "Makin pancakes @mileycyrus 's house after a funnnnn night of Lucy in the sky videos and Love couches!"
Miley is expected to continue the Bangerz Tour in Amsterdam where she will perform on May 2.
We're glad to see Miley better and hope she continues to get to 100%!
