Fact Sheet
Treatment Interruptions
January 23, 2012
What Are Treatment Interruptions?
Researchers have studied interruptions of antiretroviral therapy for various reasons. These treatment interruptions are usually called structured or strategic treatment interruptions (STIs), or structured intermittent therapy (SIT).
During most treatment breaks, the viral load climbs very quickly and CD4 cell counts drop. Some people get the same symptoms as if they were newly infected with HIV. Fact Sheet 103 has more information on acute HIV infection.
When people start medications again after taking a break, they might experience more side effects, like when they first started taking antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). They might also have difficulty with adherence (see Fact Sheet 405), taking all of their doses correctly.
There were several reasons why treatment interruptions were studied:
Do not stop your ART without careful discussion with your health care provider. Viral load and CD4 cell levels should be carefully monitored. Do not stop taking medications to prevent or treat opportunistic infections (see Fact Sheet 500).
What Are the Risks?The biggest risk of an STI is that you will develop an AIDS-related infection. Also, the viral load will probably climb and the CD4 count will drop. These risks are greatest for people who have a low CD4 count. If you have only 50 CD4 cells, losing another 10 might have serious consequences. Stopping medications to prevent opportunistic infections can allow them to develop. A research study on STIs showed that people who stopped treatment had a much higher chance of developing an opportunistic infection. People infected with hepatitis B who stopped ART were much more likely to experience a flare of their hepatitis than those who continued treatment.
Stopping and re-starting medications could make it easier for the virus to develop resistance to medications. This has happened to some patients in STI studies.
People ending a treatment interruption might have a hard time re-starting medications. This can be due to side effects, or due to psychological difficulties in getting back on treatment.
The Bottom LineHIV patients stop ART for various reasons. If we can learn how to use treatment interruptions safely, patients might be able to take periods of time off of ARVs. However, we will have to learn how to avoid HIV disease progression, and minimize drug resistance and transmission of HIV. So far, large research studies have not shown any benefits to discontinuing therapy.

Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Adapted from Real Simple.
Read more: Dinner Tonight: Maple and Mustard-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:40 minutes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 4 salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved through the root
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges, stem ends left intact
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Whisk together the maple syrup and mustard. Season both sides of the salmon fillets liberally with salt and pepper, then brush them with the maple-mustard mixture and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, toss the sprouts and onion with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well-coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet, cut side-down, and roast on the lower rack until caramelized and tender, 20-30 minutes.
When the sprouts are nearly done, arrange the fillets on an oven-proof dish and broil them, skin-side down, until the maple mixture is well-caramelized and the fish is just cooked through—7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Serve with the sprouts and lemon wedges.

Doubts Punctuate The 1950 Milan Kundera Spy Case
"Mirek rewrote history just like the Communist Party, like all political parties, like all peoples, like mankind. They shout that they want to shape a better future, but it's not true. The future is only an indifferent void no one cares about, but the past is filled with life, and its countenance is irritating, repellent, wounding, to the point that we want to destroy or repaint it. We want to be masters of the future only for the power to change the past." The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
As if taking a cue from one of his characters a dark secret from the past threatens to crash on the opening chapter of Milan Kundera's life. In October 2008, the Czech weekly Respekt published a story that claimed Kundera informed on one of his countrymen in 1950, leading to the man's imprisonment for 14 years in a hard labour camp.
The basis of the assertion was an old police report that fell into the hands of Adam Hradilek, a historian researching the bleak days of Czechoslovakia's Communist past. The police document reopened the story of Miroslav Dvoracek and that of his childhood friend Iva Militka. The report also brought the past of arguably the most brilliant literary surgeon of communism in Eastern Europe to the forefront. It is a widely reported and misreported story in which the jury is still out on the truth and doubt remains the only certainty.
The 1950 Police Report
The police report dated March 14, 1950 says: "Today at around 1600 hours a student, Milan Kundera, born 1.4.1929 in Brno, resident at the student hall of residence on George VI Avenue in Prague VII, presented himself at this department and reported that a student, Iva Militka, resident at that residence, had told a student by the name of Dlask, also of that residence, that she had met a certain acquaintance of hers, Miroslav Dvoracek, at Klarov in Prague the same day. The said Dvoracek apparently left one case in her care, saying he would come to fetch it in the afternoon… Dvoracek had apparently deserted from military service and since the spring of the previous year had possibly been in Germany, where he had gone illegally."
The most important thing is the veracity of the police report and from what has come out the document is being considered as genuine (though there is speculation on whether its contents are genuine). Jerome Depuis of the French magazine L'Express travelled to Prague and cited the historian Rudolf Vedova from the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes (USTR), the same institute Hradilek works for: "We had the document analysed by the Czech Secret Forces archive. The paper, the names listed, the identity and the signature of the officer were all examined—and the document was found to be authentic."
Around the same time Jiri Grusa, a Czech poet and in 2008 the president of the international writers association PEN, told a German radio station that he went to Prague to see the police document for himself. Grusa said that he now has no doubts that "the document is real. There's no denying it. Only it is not Milan Kundera's document, it is no denunciation, it's a police annunciation. And if Kundera says, I didn't do it, then I have to believe him."
The Background
In 1948 a putsch in Czechoslovakia led to a communist takeover. This resulted in the armed forces being purged and veteran airmen who had flown with the RAF in the war (about 40 per cent of Czech Air Force) were demoted, kicked out or sent to labour camps due to their exposure to the West. Even students were not spared. Two boyhood friends, Miroslav Dvoracek and Miroslav Juppa, who had attended the same school in a small town in Eastern Bohemia were included on a list of expulsions in a memorandum from January 1949. When they were ordered a month later to join an infantry unit, Dvoracek and Juppa, aided by Juppa's girlfriend Iva Militka and her relatives fled to West Germany.

Stocks fell Monday as concerns over political upheaval in Europe unsettled investors. And this volatility may continue even after ballots are cast in upcoming elections, advisers say.
The sudden resignation of the Dutch prime minister Monday, coupled with presidential election politics in France and Greece, heightened fears that a shakeup in leadership could upend efforts to address the European debt crisis. Politicians and parties opposed to the austerity measures favored by Germany appear to be gaining momentum, advisers say. If new leaders reversed course and opposed the belt-tightening policies that had been a condition for bailout funds, equity markets will suffer, advisers say. "For investors, that would be taking us all the way back to square one," says Paul Christopher, chief international strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors.
In France, the concern among some advisers is whether socialist candidate François Hollande, who favors spending more to boost economic growth, could beat out President Nicolas Sarkozy, who sides with Germany's approach of cutting costs in order to control the debt level. In the Netherlands, another big supporter of Germany's austerity measures, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte resigned after leaders were unable to agree on budget cuts. Party officials are calling for elections to take place soon.
Continued political uncertainty could lead to more downgrades or — in an extreme scenario — force some countries out the euro zone completely, says Ethan Anderson, chief investment strategist with Rehmann Financial. Such a collapse could send yields higher on government bonds, increasing borrowing costs and making a recession more likely. And that could lead to a selloff in stock markets as investors make a dash to safer assets, advisers say.
To be sure, the austerity measures in euro zone countries could continue regardless of who gets elected, advisers say. And a selloff in government bonds and stocks could force leaders to go along with Germany's cost cutting approach — even if they don't agree with it, says Doug Cote, chief market strategist for ING Investment Management. "The markets will punish any behavior that makes the country look worse," says Cote. Some investors also say threats coming out of Europe are milder today than they were a year ago. Support from the European Central Bank reduced the risk of widespread bankruptcies from European banks, says Christopher. And economic improvements in the U.S. also make the domestic economy better prepared to handle any weakness in European markets, he adds. "The risks are still out there but the probabilities are much less than they were," says Christopher.
In the meantime, some investors are taking some cautious steps to prepare for prolonged uncertainty. Because the U.S. is expected to grow at a more stable pace than Europe, Anderson says investors should buy more U.S. stocks than international stocks. Christopher of Wells Fargo is cutting back exposure to commodities like base metals and agriculture, which could see prices drop due to the weakness in the European economy. In equities, he is balancing aggressive sectors like industrial and material with defensive sectors like utilities.

Today is the centennial anniversary of the birth of American songwriter supreme Frank Loesser. Loesser prospered writing songs for the movies, for the war and for Broadway. As John Bush writes in his Allmusic profile of Loesser, "it appears that Frank Loesser had several careers packed into his one life."
Loesser wrote "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" in April 1942. It was only the second song for which he had written both the words and the music; the first had preceded it by three years. Yet it made him a celebrity. In her biography of her father, Susan Loesser writes: "Schoolchildren sang it in assembly; housewives hummed it while they ironed; the Office of War Information, concerned that the public might tire of it prematurely, limited its performance to once every four hours….The song sold over two million records and a million copies of sheet music." Loesser enlisted in the Army the following fall.
Mark Steyn's admiration of Loesser's work is manifest throughout his 2000 musical history Broadway Babies Say Goodnight: Musicals Then & Now. Mark opened his Wall Street Journal review of a new study of Loesser with a distincty Steynian post-9/11 tribute:
Frank Loesser isn't as famous a songwriter as Irving Berlin or Cole Porter, but, unlike them, he's apparently responsible for this whole clash-of- civilizations thing. A few decades back, a young middle-class Egyptian spending some time in the U.S. had the misfortune to be invited to a dance one weekend and was horrified at what he witnessed:
"The room convulsed with the feverish music from the gramophone. Dancing naked legs filled the hall, arms draped around the waists, chests met chests, lips met lips . . ."
Where was this den of debauchery? Studio 54 in the 1970s? Haight-Ashbury in the summer of love? No, the throbbing pulsating sewer of sin was Greeley, Colo., in 1949. As it happens, Greeley, Colo., in 1949 was a dry town. The dance was a church social. And the feverish music was "Baby, It's Cold Outside," written by Frank Loesser and sung by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban in the film "Neptune's Daughter." Revolted by the experience, Sayyid Qutb decided that America (and modernity in general) was an abomination, returned to Egypt, became the leading intellectual muscle in the Muslim Brotherhood, and set off a chain that led from Qutb to Zawahiri to bin Laden to the Hindu Kush to the Balkans to 9/11.
I'm a reasonable chap, and I'd be willing to meet the Islamists halfway on a lot of the peripheral stuff like burqas for women, nuking the Zionists, beheading the sodomites and whatnot. But you'll have to pry "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from my cold dead hands and my dancing naked legs. A world without Frank Loesser and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" would be very cold indeed.
Mark also mentioned "Loesser's marvelously inspired opening to 'Guys and Dolls' — the 'Fugue for Tinhorns.'" Mark observed that it "has a trio of gamblers each boasting that he's 'got the horse right here.' In a way, it's a brilliant musicalization of the source material — a 'Broadway fugue' is the perfect musical equivalent of the stylized vernacular Damon Runyon used in the stories that inspired the musical." The clip of the "Fugue" below is from the film version of this greatest of American musicals. It is a show that still brings the house down.
Anticipating the one-hundredth anniversary of Loesser's birth, Mark has been celebrating Loesser in grand style this month at his site. He has posted a moving audio extravaganza featuring an hour-and-three-quarters of special guests, rare archival material, and lots of live music from the Loesser songbook. Mark's podcast comes in two parts (part 1 here and part 2 here). Mark has also posted tributes to Loesser classics across the decades:
~from the Thirties, HEART AND SOUL;
~from the Forties, BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE and ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA;
~from the Fifties, LUCK BE A LADY;
~and from the Sixties, I BELIEVE IN YOU.
As usual with Steyn, these song tributes are part history, part memoir, part appreciation, part criticism and altogether brilliant. For those seeking a good introduction to Loesser beyond the music itself, I strongly recommend A Most Remarkable Fella: Frank Loesser and the Guys and Dolls in His Life, the 1993 biography by Loesser's daughter Susan.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
In Israel the issue of interfaith marriage is more complicated. Even though the country boasts a lot of Jewish-Christian couples (coming predominantly from the former Soviet Union), cases in which a Jew married an Arab are rare. Although there are no official statistics on interfaith marriages, some experts pin the lack of data on the phenomenon's negligible numbers.
"The Central Bureau of Statistics is not dealing with this subject because the percentage of such cases is insignificant," said Prof. Sammy Smooha, a leading sociologist and a specialist in comparative ethnic relations, indicating that Israel knows of no more than a thousand instances in which a Jew married an Arab since the creation of the state in 1948.
"Even if there is any information on the matter, I doubt it's going to be published, firstly because the phenomenon would spark a lot of opposition among religious circles, fearing that the revelation of such data would encourage other people to leave their faith. And, secondly, because any such case is considered a 'failure' by the society that didn't do enough to keep people inside Judaism," he reasoned.
Indeed, Judaism views inter-faith marriages as unfavorable, warning that "…you[r] children [will turn] away from Me to worship other gods...." (Deuteronomy 7:1-3). At the same time, the sacred text contains several positive examples of mixed marriages. Such was the case of Moses, who married Tziporra, the daughter of a Midianite priest; or the Queen Esther, who saved the Jews from Haman in the Purim story. She was married to the Persian King Ahashverosh.
Adjusting to the constantly changing world, modern Conservative Judaism doesn't reject interfaith unions, encouraging acceptance of the non-Jewish spouse within the family, in the hope that such acceptance might eventually lead to the spouse's voluntary conversion.
However, in Israel such attitudes are rare. "Here, both Jews and Arabs oppose interfaith unions, clinging to their culture, traditions and Zionist/Palestinian ideology. So the refusal to marry a person from another faith is not perceived as racism, but rather as a cultural norm," said the pundit, pointing out that interfaith marriages are more suitable for liberal and secular democracies.
According to the expert, the mixed marriages that do take place usually involve a Jewish woman and a Muslim man. "The women very often come from low class families. Some of them are prostitutes, others are disturbed people, escaping problems at home," explained Smooha.
In other cases, the Jewish woman is generally an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, believed to be more accepting of such unions.
The pundit also argued that the fate of such couples is predetermined, with most of them moving to live in Arab villages, to avoid being rejected by the Jewish majority of the country.
But even if the woman manages to adjust to the new mores of the host Arab, Muslim culture, the couple still faces a major challenge. "How will they raise their kids – as Muslims or Jews?" asked Smooha. "The issue of identity is central here, especially considering the fact that the child would need to enroll into the army, since his mother is Jewish. Will the child be faithful to the State of Israel taking into account the Arab society he is living in – this is largely disputable," he added.
Indeed, Israel National News reported in 2004 that "the number of children from mixed families involved in attacks (rock-throwing, etc.) against the Israeli Defense Forces during the ... intifada (roughly 1987-1992), was greater than those from pure Arab families," pointing out that the trend may be explained by their desire to integrate into their Muslim society despite their Jewishness.
So how do these families end up? Cati and Lykova agreed that in most cases mixed marriages end in divorce. Other experts researching the question seem to agree. According to Huffington Post, mixed marriages have little chance to succeed, with the failure rate of such couples being 50% higher than same-faith marriages. "Since the rate for all marriages is on the order of 50%, this would imply an almost 75% failure rate for inter-faith marriages -- 3 chances out of 4," the paper concluded.
"Divorce is always the easiest option but it's not always the most suitable one," stressed Smooha, adding that in Israel, mixed families continue to reside in their Arab villages, managing to function without filing for a divorce.

text: Robert Bresson's 1959 film Pickpocket is superior to Steve McQueen's 2011 film Shame, but to be inferior to Pickpocket is hardly an embarrassment. Both films explore willfully isolate protagonists who immerse themselves in addictive pleasures to escape vulnerability. In Pickpocket, Michel (Martin LaSalle) pickpockets, and in Shame, Brandon (Michael Fassbender) orgasms. But while Brandon seems painfully aware throughout Shame of his compulsion and its destructive qualities, Michel entertains a half-hearted philosophy in which breaking the law may be an artform, and he becomes aware of his dire situation only in Pickpocket's final breathtaking moments. It would be reductive to say that one approach to the subject of compulsion is inherently preferable to the other, but perhaps illuminating to explore the ways in which these separate approaches foster distinct attitudes toward cinema.

Paris chefs kick-start a horsemeat gastro-trend
Recent headlines about horsemeat have led Europe's consumers to give some "beef" products a wide berth - but horse has long been enjoyed in some European countries. In Paris, fashionable chefs have actually been putting it back on their menus. So will more diners now be jumping for the horse tartare?
Would you willingly give your children horsemeat hamburgers for their tea?
The answer to that in most of the English-speaking world, even before the latest mislabelling tailspin, would have been an emphatic nay. To which the horses would no doubt respond with a grateful one of their own.
In France, the response would be more guarded. French horse-meat consumption has been in decline for decades, and today accounts for just 0.4% of all meat eaten.
But there are still 750 horse-butchers operating in the country, 17% of the population claim to have eaten horse at some time or another, and about 11,000 farmers continue to raise horses for the meat trade.
Professionals say they believe the worst of the decline is over. For the last two years horse-eating has been - excuse the pun - stable.
"We have had to endure a lot of attacks," says Yves Berger, president of the National Association of Meat-Producers Interbev. "Every year our opponents mount major publicity campaigns to tell people not to eat horse."
"But what we have noticed is the effect of these campaigns is diminishing. More and more, we see that people want to keep an open mind about eating horse - which is as it should be."
Coinciding with - and possibly contributing to - this stabilisation of the market is a new gastro-trend among Paris foodies.
A handful of chefs have started putting horse on their menus. Go to Les Tontons, for example, opposite the former Paris horse abattoir in the 15th arrondissement, and you can be served a succulent horse tartare (raw horse with egg and seasoning).
"Of course, it is perfectly apt because the original steak tartare was horse. The Mongol tribesmen ate their own horses and tenderised the steak under their saddles," says owner Jean-Guillaume Dufour.
Actually there is no historical evidence for this, but who wants to spoil a good story?
"My mission is to tell the world that you can sit on your meat and eat it too," he enthuses.
"Yes I know horses are pretty and friendly and so on. But cows would be, too, if we let them."
Other hip restaurants - such as Le Taxi Jaune, Le Verre Vole and Septime - serve horse carpaccio, horse hamburgers with quail's eggs, or straightforward horse steaks.
One chef, Bertrand Grebaut, caused a minor sensation at a recent culinary event when he carved and cooked a horse's heart - live on a big screen - in front of an audience of fellow cooks and food-writers.
"There's definitely something going on - a kind of buzz," says Dorian Nieto, food blogger, horse-meat aficionado, and author of La boucherie chevaline etait ouverte le lundi (The horse-butcher was open on Mondays), a celebration of horse-eating.
"A number of restaurateurs have told me they are checking out where to buy top-quality horsemeat. It's all about a return to old values, a kind of nostalgia. And yes it is all rather trendy and Parisian. But there's a frisson, no question about it."
Given how strongly identified France is with the practice of horse-eating, the history of l'hippophagie is actually quite short.
In the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) it is said that - by necessity rather than desire - French soldiers developed a certain taste for cheval.
But it was only in 1866 that horse-eating was permitted by law. Thanks to an alliance of nutritionists, social reformers and, funnily enough, animal welfare supporters, the practice was actively promoted.
The 1870-71 siege of Paris by invading Prussians was a turning-point. Many people tasted horse for the first time, as thousands of the animals were slaughtered. It turned out people quite liked it.
In the decades that followed l'hippophagie became increasingly popular, with a peak in 1911. Around this time, horses began to be imported because the French market was unable to supply enough.
Horse consumption was essentially a habit of the urban working and middle classes. Country people and the rich who had closer contact with the animals were more liable to feel qualms.
And overwhelmingly horse-eating was based in two regions - the north and around Paris.
After World War II the decline set in, and it became precipitate from the 1980s. Today, it is noticeable that most clients at boucheries chevalines are in their 60s or older, suggesting that young people find the practice difficult to stomach.
However butchers like Fabien Ouazan, who has a stall on the Cours de Vincennes market in Paris - are convinced the qualities of horsemeat will ensure its survival.
"With horsemeat, you know what you get," he says. "Other animals get fed all kinds of rubbish, but horses eat only oats, barley and hay.
"It shows in the meat. So a lot of people who are concerned about health and the quality of meat, are turning to the horse."
Another argument for eating horse is suggested by Otis Lebert, chef at Le Taxi Jaune.
"A lot of horse breeds are disappearing. We no longer have any use for draught horses, for example, or the ponies that went down the mines," he says.
"So either we let these breeds die out. Or we preserve them, by eating them."
According to Yves Berger of Interbev, large parts of the French countryside are maintained by small-scale farmers breeding draught horses for the meat market.
"Without these horses, the fields would go back to forest," he says.
France produces roughly what it consumes in the way of horsemeat (18,000 tonnes a year).
But, in fact, most of the meat that is reared in France is not eaten there, but exported to Italy - the Italians (who actually eat more than twice as much horsemeat as the French) like young horses.
Meanwhile the French - who prefer older, redder horse-meat - import most of what they eat from the US and Canada, where it is not eaten by humans but is sometimes fed to pets.
At Fabien Ouazan's stall, the enthusiasm of the customers is catching. Evidently, none has the slightest queasiness about their choice of nutrition.
"I have been eating horse since I was a child," says one lady. "It is very tender, no fat, and full of minerals.
"Why should I care that it is a horse? We eat chickens, we eat cuddly rabbits and baby lambs. What's the difference?"

Del Piero wants Sydney to keep up fight
Sydney FC star Alessandro del Piero says his on-field bust-up with teammate Ali Abbas last week was a positive indicator that the Sky Blues are in the right mindset to fight their way into the A-League finals.
Del Piero said everything was fine between them and their public stoush actually showed the kind of passion Sydney need to maintain if they're to secure a playoff spot.
Recruits Joel Griffiths and Tiago Calvano will both start for Sydney in Saturday night's clash with the similarly desperate Wellington Phoenix at Allianz Stadium.
Sydney can move into the top six with a victory.
Del Piero dismissed suggestions of a rift with Abbas and said the Sky Blues were focused on staying hungry and making up the two competition point deficit keeping them out of finals cut-off.
"That sometimes happens on the field when me and Ali or someone wants to win, wants to fight," del Piero said.
"We're not in a good position on the table, we want to do more and, when you don't do that, you get angry. But it's OK. It's happened and it finished before the end of the match.
"You have passion for play, for win and from the first minute to the end. All the time, I want to do my best."
With the four clubs outside the top six all a chance of making the finals, Sydney coach Frank Farina says the side can't afford striker Griffiths to take time adapting to his crucial role up front.
Farina is confident Griffiths will make a seamless transition but warned the job of developing combinations could be tougher for their transfer window pick-up Calvano.
The Brazilian, unwanted by Newcastle, must quickly adapt to the team's defensive structure after being brought in to fill an injury gap.
"It can take a while (for players to gel). We don't have time, but we have some quality players there and you just hope it works," Farina said.
"Joel is playing a position where it's important but, in terms of combinations, your defensive structure is probably more up there (in difficulty).
"Tiago is fully fit and ready to go. I didn't bring him in to sit him on the bench. These games are very important, especially on the weekend.
"It's a good opportunity for him and a second chance, if you like. I hope he takes it."
Del Piero is looking forward to partnering up front with Griffiths - the 33-year-old finally set to play his first match after signing with Sydney a month ago.
Farina said he wouldn't be giving the former Socceroos representative too much coaching.
"I want him to play his natural game. I'm not going to teach him how to play football," he said.
"He's aggressive, he chases, he's a good finisher and he's a winner."
The Phoenix are last on the ladder, but only trail Sydney by one competition point.
Farina said Sydney wouldn't be taking their opponents lightly.
"Whenever you play a desperate side, it's tough and we're not silly," he said.

Bernstein was born in Volozhin on 1920, son to Avraham and Rivka. He was a hand worker like his parents. The Nazis enclosed him in the Ghetto. He escaped when the the Jews were conducted to the second Aktion. He was caught and brought to the Krasne Ghetto. The Germans stored arms in this Ghetto. Bernstein organized a group together with Tsvi Lunin, Eliezer Rogovin and Mordkhay Kaganovitsh. They began to accumulate arms and to hide them. They succeeded in running away with the arms. The partisan unit which they wanted to join refused to receive them and tried to take their arms. The group did not agree and fought the greedy unit. Finally they organized an independent Jewish partisan unit which was named Staritski Otriad.
Yishayahu was dominated by one sole purpose - to avenge the enemies for the innocent blood. I did not meet him right away. He spent entire days in ambush; he planted mines on the German soldiers' ways. He fell when blowing up a bridge. Not far from the bridge a German post was situated about which Yishayahu did not know. The Germans began shooting at him. He defended himself shooting back at them. He drowned in the river when his ammunition came to an end.
[Page 590]
Miryam was born in 1923 in Volozhin to Leyzer and Beyla. She ran with her parents to Bielokorets hamlet when the Germans occupied Volozhin. There Miryam joined a partisan unit by the name of Stalin.
She was ordered to mobilize additional members to the unit from the Volozhin Ghetto. There the Germans forced her to work in their kitchen. At work Miryam overheard a woman telling a German soldier that she had been sent by the partisans. Knowing they expected her, Mirele Goloventshitz caught a cleaver and crushed his skull.
The day afterwards, Mireleh Goloventshits' body was found near the Kostiol (Polish church) in the market place.
Translator's note: The Goloventshits house with their haberdashery store was located on the other side of the Minsker Street, the street where we lived. The Goloventshits girls learned in the same school in which I learned, Frumke a class lower, Mirele a class higher. Miryam Goloventshits was a real beauty and a very talented girl. She certainly was one of the most beautiful young ladies of Volozhin.
Tsvi Hirshl Lunin with his sisters Tsviya and Nekhama
Hessl Perski, a renowned partisan describes Volozhin born Partisans who fell with their weapons, among them Tsvi (Hirshke) Lunin, R' Isroel Lunin's son.
Tsvi was born in Volozhin in 1921, son of Isroel and Sheyna Lunin. He ran away from the Volozhin Ghetto. He was caught by the Germans and brought to the Krasne Ghetto. There he worked for a while and was able to buy a rifle. He ran away once more, this time to the partisans. Hirshl joined the unit named Staritski. He was entrusted with the dangerous duty of following German movements and mining their vehicles.
Hirshl, at the head of a Partisan unit, penetrated into Ivianits (20 Km. south of Volozhin). They fought a bloody battle against the garrison and drove the Germans away from the shtetl. Once he was sent with a partisan group to accomplish sabotage acts in the Nalibok forest near Volozhin. The detachment stumbled across a German ambush. During the fight all the partisans were killed. Hirsh remained the sole survivor. He defended himself until the last bullet. In his last fight he was severely wounded. Tsvi-Hirsh Lunin passed away on March 8, 1943.
[Page 591]
[Page 592]
On the first day we met our friend Roman Horbatshevski. He told us; with tears in his eyes that being concealed behind a fence he had seen the shtetl Jews going to their deaths. They walked silently, as if they were ignorant of where they were going. Tell me, Mr. Rogovin, why did they accept the verdict, why did they not resist? I left the question without an answer.
After some days we met an old friend Mr. Katovitz the orthodox priest from Losk. He was really glad to see us and could not hide the joy that he was privileged to see us alive. He invited us to our common friend the priest Salizh, who asked for the second time the previous question: Why did they not resist?
This time I could not restrain myself and answered his question asking other questions:
You don't understand why the Jews did not resist? And the fact that of four million Red Army captives only 3% survived? And why did the Soviet Communists and Commissars that were captured by the Nazis not show any sign of resistance? They knew for sure that they would be exterminated, why did they not fight for life? And the thousands of Polish Officers that were murdered by the Soviet NKVD in the Katyn forest, - why did they not resist? Do you understand it? The answer, your holiness you might receive only from the holy martyrs that were terrorized, humiliated, famished by the Nazis and not only abandoned but usually hunted by their gentile neighbors.
This conversation spoiled even more our gloomy state of mind and we went to the Jewish Grave Yard, in which our dearest were buried. We saw the big common graves. They looked like small grass covered hills. A committee investigating the Nazi crimes was active in Volozhin at the time of our visit there. A grave was opened. Woe to the eyes that saw it. We looked at the murdered. Despite that the flesh was shed from the bodies, we could still recognize some of our friends. We have no words to describe it. For this reason it would be better not to rub the wounds and not add to our already unsupportable pain. We mention a trifle of the hell we have seen and we leave the reader to imagine it. But no matter how horrible one imagines it to be, it would not resemble the dreadful reality our eyes have seen looking at the remains of the Jews of Volozhin Jews.
We visited Volozhin again prior to our Aliya to Israel in 1958. And we went again to look at the common grave. Time had diminished the tomb. The hill sank as though it had been swallowed by the abyss. Our brothers' blood had leaked into the very depths of the earth. But to our sorrow it did not leave any sign and did not overthrow the world's foundations. Life went on as if nothing had occurred. Pigs were burrowing inside the graves of the last Volozhin congregation members, the congregation that lived there for five hundred years. Our mourning of them should never end.
[Page 593]
I returned to Volozhin in June 1945. The first night I spent under the open sky. I did not know who had survived and in which house I could find a Jew. The town was ruined.
The destruction was frightful. The fear rose at night. It seemed to me that each stone screamed to the heart of the heavens. In the morning I went to the cemetery. I will never forget my visit in this holy place, where Yeshiva heads and prodigious leaders were buried in under stone lodges to rest in peace. All was turned into ruined hills. The tombs from the First World War were also destroyed. The local robbers, damned be their name, spared nothing. They broke the tomb-stones into pieces and pilfered them to build houses and to pave their courts.
On the second day I went again to the graveyard. Cows, sheep and other animals pastured on the Graves of the Volozhin Jews and among them of Rabbi Hayim's.
I encountered some survivors, fire brands of the magnificent Congregation: Shayke Lavit, Motl Mlot, Mendl Volkovitsh, Mendl Bakshter, Kopl Kagan, Zelig Dunie's and the Sklut brothers.
I went to see what remained of the town. The Yeshiva building stood in its place, of the three synagogues nothing remained. I could not find a place to pray. There was not a sign of a Hebrew word. I went to Vilna to buy a Prayer Book with phylacteries (I guard the Book with me till now).
I encountered gentiles my schoolmate friends. They did not show any penitence. On the contrary, they asked me: What? You survived? I seemed to be superfluous in their eyes, as a creature without right to have a place in this world.
All the days I walked in the Volozhin streets I was in a secret fear. I was not afraid of the Gentiles, of the local robbers and assassins. The army years, the fights with the Nazis had forged and strengthened my soul and body. But I was afraid of our Kehila's Holy Souls. I walked again to the common brothers' grave on the cemetery. But approaching the place I fainted.
When I woke up, I saw a local Goy standing over me. He asked what I was doing there and drove me away.
I was not able to see more of the heart breaking horror places. Everywhere I stepped I heard voices of crying and lamenting. I'm still waiting with the other voices for God's voice of compensation payments to our murderers and robbers.

String encoding conversion
- convert :: EncodingName -> EncodingName -> ByteString -> ByteString
- type EncodingName = String
- convertFuzzy :: Fuzzy -> EncodingName -> EncodingName -> ByteString -> ByteString
- data Fuzzy
- convertStrictly :: EncodingName -> EncodingName -> ByteString -> Either ByteString ConversionError
- convertLazily :: EncodingName -> EncodingName -> ByteString -> [Span]
- data ConversionError
- reportConversionError :: ConversionError -> IOError
- data Span
This module provides pure functions for converting the string encoding
of strings represented by lazy
ByteStrings. This makes it easy to use
either in memory or with disk or network IO.
For example, a simple Latin1 to UTF-8 conversion program is just:
import Codec.Text.IConv as IConv import Data.ByteString.Lazy as ByteString main = ByteString.interact (convert "LATIN1" "UTF-8")
Or you could lazily read in and convert a UTF-8 file to UTF-32 using:
content <- fmap (IConv.convert "UTF-8" "UTF-32") (readFile file)
This module uses the POSIX
iconv() library function. The primary
advantage of using iconv is that it is widely available, most systems
have a wide range of supported string encodings and the conversion speed
it typically good. The iconv library is available on all unix systems
(since it is required by the POSIX.1 standard) and GNU libiconv is
available as a standalone library for other systems, including Windows.
Simple conversion API
|:: EncodingName
Name of input string encoding
|-> EncodingName
Name of output string encoding
|-> ByteString
Input text
|-> ByteString
Output text
Convert text from one named string encoding to another.
- The conversion is done lazily.
- An exception is thrown if conversion between the two encodings is not supported.
- An exception is thrown if there are any encoding conversion errors.
type EncodingName = String Source
A string encoding name, eg
"UTF-8" or
The range of string encodings available is determined by the capabilities of the underlying iconv implementation.
When using the GNU C or libiconv libraries, the permitted values are listed
by the
iconv --list command, and all combinations of the listed values
are supported.
Variant that is lax about conversion errors
|:: Fuzzy
Whether to try and transliterate or discard characters with no direct conversion
|-> EncodingName
Name of input string encoding
|-> EncodingName
Name of output string encoding
|-> ByteString
Input text
|-> ByteString
Output text
Convert text ignoring encoding conversion problems.
If invalid byte sequences are found in the input they are ignored and conversion continues if possible. This is not always possible especially with stateful encodings. No placeholder character is inserted into the output so there will be no indication that invalid byte sequences were encountered.
If there are characters in the input that have no direct corresponding
character in the output encoding then they are dealt in one of two ways,
depending on the
Fuzzy argument. We can try and
Transliterate them into
the nearest corresponding character(s) or use a replacement character
'?' or the Unicode replacement character). Alternatively they
can simply be
In either case, no exceptions will occur. In the case of unrecoverable errors, the output will simply be truncated. This includes the case of unrecognised or unsupported encoding names; the output will be empty.
- This function only works with the GNU iconv implementation which provides this feature beyond what is required by the iconv specification.
Variants that are pedantic about conversion errors
|:: EncodingName
Name of input string encoding
|-> EncodingName
Name of output string encoding
|-> ByteString
Input text
|-> Either ByteString ConversionError
Output text or conversion error
This variant does the conversion all in one go, so it is able to report any conversion errors up front. It exposes all the possible error conditions and never throws exceptions
The disadvantage is that no output can be produced before the whole input is consumed. This might be problematic for very large inputs.
|:: EncodingName
Name of input string encoding
|-> EncodingName
Name of output string encoding
|-> ByteString
Input text
|-> [Span]
Output text spans
This version provides a more complete but less convenient conversion interface. It exposes all the possible error conditions and never throws exceptions.
The conversion is still lazy. It returns a list of spans, where a span may
be an ordinary span of output text or a conversion error. This somewhat
complex interface allows both for lazy conversion and for precise reporting
of conversion problems. The other functions
convert and
are actually simple wrappers on this function.
data ConversionError Source
|UnsuportedConversion EncodingName EncodingName
The conversion from the input to output string encoding is not supported by the underlying iconv implementation. This is usually because a named encoding is not recognised or support for it was not enabled on this system.
The POSIX standard does not guarantee that all possible combinations of recognised string encoding are supported, however most common implementations do support all possible combinations.
|InvalidChar Int
This covers two possible conversion errors:
Unfortunately iconv does not let us distinguish these two cases. In either case, the Int parameter gives the byte offset in the input of the unrecognised bytes or unconvertable character.
|IncompleteChar Int
This error covers the case where the end of the input has trailing bytes that are the initial bytes of a valid character in the input encoding. In other words, it looks like the input ended in the middle of a multi-byte character. This would often be an indication that the input was somehow truncated. Again, the Int parameter is the byte offset in the input where the incomplete character starts.
|UnexpectedError Errno
An unexpected iconv error. The iconv spec lists a number of possible expected errors but does not guarantee that there might not be other errors.
This error can occur either immediately, which might indicate that the iconv installation is messed up somehow, or it could occur later which might indicate resource exhaustion or some other internal iconv error.
Output spans from encoding conversion. When nothing goes wrong we
expect just a bunch of
Spans. If there are conversion errors we get other
span types.
|Span !ByteString
An ordinary output span in the target encoding
|ConversionError !ConversionError
An error in the conversion process. If this occurs it will be the last span.

Market Insights: Small and efficient is more popular
Special to the Daily
Over the years, in the Market Insights column, I have provided you with insights into the trends and changes taking place in Summit County real estate. For this article, I have interviewed Chris Renner, owner of Pinnacle Mountain Homes, one of the largest home builders in the county, and Marc Hogan, an extremely well-established architect and managing partner of BHH Partners.
Both of these professionals brought up several examples of the changes taking place at the top-end of the custom-home market. The three main changes are 1) quality, not quantity; 2) creative use of materials; and 3) energy-efficient designs and systems.
I got thinking about these trends and came to the conclusion these apply to the bottom-end of the market as well, as is shown in the article's photo.
This trend is undisputed. The McMansion era is over. In Breckenridge, it actually became part of the building code when the town passed the Neighborhood Preservation Policy in 2009. The aim of the policy, as is stated on the town website, is "related to maintaining the character of the town and preserving the character of older neighborhoods."
And I see this all day long when out with buyers. They are looking for top-quality finishes and not an inch of wasted space.
Marc says, "Our current designs incorporate materials that require less maintenance. For example, exteriors including stone panels, metal panels, pre-finished siding materials and metal roofing all are good choices to reduce maintenance over time. Creative use of recycled materials and other non-traditional surfaces is an exciting way to make each interior unique."
For this trend, Chris had this to say: "State-of-the-art mechanical and electrical systems are integrated into each design to make the home energy efficient. The mechanical and plumbing systems should be centrally located to reduce plumbing and mechanical costs. Innovative insulation systems, together with highly efficient heating systems and the outside air ventilation systems with heat exchangers, insure lower energy bills."
All of that being said, the example this week is not a $2,000,000 custom home. Nope. This condo, at $209,000, is the lowest priced two-bedroom condo on the market in the town of Breckenridge and it is close to the base of Peak 8. It was built in 1983, and over the past year it has been transformed with an outstanding renovation. The owner is a tradesperson, which means he invested in the best-quality materials. It is rare to see a condo in this price range that actually shows so well and incorporates so many of the most recent trends in the construction industry. That must be the reason this condo has had so many showings in the three weeks it has been on the market.
Pay attention to the long-term trends in the market before you buy. Think ahead and buy a property that will be popular when you go to resell it. Be very careful of buying a property which is on the tail-end of an old trend.

I am hashing keys from one table that provides a 256 bit (64 char length) alphanumeric string that I intend to use in a second table as a foreign key.
The engine of choice here is InnoDB.
There are about 2 million entries in Table A with my unique-key 256 bit key.
Table B, with 7 million records, is related to table A with the 256 bit foreign key.
My question is, instead of 64 char. length keys, should I opt for 160 bit (40 digit) keys?
Will I see a large performance boost? Or the difference would not be too large?
My machine has limited computation power and although scripting and programming is quite easy, it would take me hours to compute and re-calculate for 160 bit from 256, which is the reason for my question.

Effective strategies to manage stress
Adding stress to our lives seems easy enough. It's getting rid of it and managing it that's the tough part. We have a magic word for you that's bound to reduce some of that stress. Read on for more.
The big S word: STRESS
Stress has become a malady spanning individuals of all ages and from all walks of life. We live in an 'instant ' time where everyone wants something instantly. Too many expectations from us and the tension of living up to them takes a toll on our mental and physical well-being. Do you remember the last time you went for a relaxing walk or just stood in your balcony watching the world go by? Do you keep reminding yourself about that one day you will pick up the paintbrush to paint or start swimming? Our guess is… NO. That world ceases to exist.
Ways to minimise stress
To tackle stress, the first step is to acknowledge that you are feeling burnt out and your enthusiasm for things you previously enjoyed has deteriorated. So when you feel the stress creeping up on you, remember to feel RESTED.
R—Relaxation: Incorporate relaxation into your day. Be it a hobby or meditation, make sure you spare a chunk of time to read your favourite book, watch that television serial or call a friend who matters.
E – Exercise: When it comes to the human body the old adage 'use it or lose it' holds good. Being fit has numerous benefits and helps ward off illness. To add to that, you'll look great and your clothes will fit better too.
S—Sleep: Sleep is one of the most neglected areas of our lives in this day and age. A good nights sleep is something a lot of people yearn for. Caffeine, heavy food causing indigestion and alcohol all interfere with sleep. Having a set bedtime routine, avoiding excess television and having a warm glass of milk at bedtime aid blissful slumber.
Check out these 15 great tips to beat insomnia.
T—Time management: Organising your time goes a long way in keeping stress at bay. Maintain a daily and weekly organiser to avoid forgetting important stuff. Do what needs to be done in order of priority. In other words, do first things first.
E—Empower yourself: A positive attitude ensures that you are empowered and in control of your life. A wise person once said, "Life is 10 per cent what happens to you and 90 per cent how you react to it."
D—Diet: Watch what you put into your mouth. Caffeine, sugar and processed food all make you feel low after an initial energy boost. Switch to healthier options like green tea or a fruit for a mid-day snack instead. Minimise eating out and junk food while including soups and salads for a more balanced meal. Substitute white bread with brown or the multi-grain variety.
To conclude, stress in small doses is a good thing. Before it spirals out of control we must try to listen to our body and guess its needs. Remember to take the time out for yourself, laugh a lot and don't sweat the small stuff. Go ahead and do what makes you happy, after all you only live once.

Prosecutor: Zimmerman judge shouldn't step down
Prosecutor: Zimmerman judge shouldn't step down
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin shooting case says a motion by the defense asking the judge to disqualify himself is without merit.
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda was responding to the defense's motion filed last week. In his response Tuesday, he called the request "absurd on its face."
De la Rionda wrote that though the defense takes issue with language used by Judge Kenneth Lester in setting defendant George Zimmerman's second bond at $1 million, it doesn't create any predisposition about future rulings.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara filed his motion because of what he contends were disparaging remarks Lester made about Zimmerman's character in his July 5 bond order.
Zimmerman bonded out the following day, and is hiding somewhere in Florida awaiting trial. He's pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

Oh just for the record… that theory for the Beebe, Arkansas bird deaths (estimated now at 5000) regarding a storm burst or fireworks isn't cutting it! All in Arkansas remember this past New Year's Eve when the storms that devastated Cincinnati, Arkansas began in the wee morning hours that day. As the storms split and moved to the east and northeast, warnings ceased in the late afternoon hours. This does not explain 11-11:30 pm on that same evening.
Then the fireworks… Beebe is not a large community and somebody would remember an amazing fireworks display that would have generated such a raucous reaction of distressed birds near said event. There would be a video somewhere these days too. And how would fireworks startle and kill 5000 birds over such a wide, yet defined, location? If this was true and logical, why does this not occur all over the USA on every Fourth of July when the highest population of birds are present in the summer season. It also does not explain the dead blackbird in Benton, Arkansas or these other two locations:
Marshall County Kentucky
Labarre, Louisiana
None of this can even begin to explain the fish kill as Dead fish cover 20-miles of Arkansas River or off Kent Island, Maryland in Fish Kill Caused By Cold Stress.
Still working on my theory, but it has nothing to do with storms and fireworks. It smacks of H5N1 to H1N1, or something in between, as Japan and the UK are currently experiencing?

Sept. 4, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT field hockey team fell to New England College, 4-0, in the first game of the Engineers' 2004 campaign on Saturday. Jess Hanson led the way for the Pilgrims (2-0), tallying two unassisted goals.
Tech's offense dominated the early stages of the first half, out-shooting NEC, 10-5. The Pilgrims responded with offensive pressure of their own, as Amanda Lester posted the first goal of the game with nine seconds remaining in the half.
New England's momentum carried over into the second stanza as it took a 2-0 lead on a penalty corner. Less than one minute had expired when Megan Simula set up Brittney Vogrin for the goal. Jess Hanson put the game out of reach when she notched back-to-back goals in the 65th and 68th minutes. MIT once again had an advantage in shots (14-9), but struggled to find the back of the goal.
Goalie Alexa Herman collected eight saves for the Engineers in her first collegiate game while Jacqui Parker made 20 stops for the Pilgrims.
The next game for MIT will be on Friday, Sept. 10 at 6:00 p.m. when it hosts Lasell College.

Not directly on topic, but you might want to edit his name out of this thread (and ask any follow-ups to do the same), since there's a decent chance that he or someone else will Google his firm's name and find this thread. Not a killer, but it might be embarrassing (especially if you get the job!).
And don't call someone "Esquire" unless they call themselves that first. He doesn't use that on his website, so stay away from it. I worked as a paralegal, and whenever I saw correspondence from some big firm attorney calling himself/herself "esquire," the "pompous ass" alarm would start to go off.
The proper etiquette for Esquire is that one never refers to oneself as Esquire, but if one is of that rank others should refer to one as Esquire in formal situations.So, if you're a lawyer talking with another lawyer, it's poor form to call yourself John Doe, Esq., but you ought to call the other person Jane Roe, Esq..The fact that he didn't use Esquire on his website shows that he's either using etiquette properly, or doesn't care to be styled Esq. Either way, err on the side of formality and respect. Other than that I think Vap's advice is spot on.

Still, it took until 1 a.m. ET Tuesday — 10 hours before the team was to be unveiled — for executive director Steve Yzerman and his staff to come up with a final 25-man roster for the Sochi Olympics.
"We had gone out last night for dinner and came back. We were down to a couple of names and it was a real strong, healthy debate," St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. "At some point we had to stop at 25. When we got to that last name, we shook hands and said we're excited about this team."
With another gold medal the only measure of success, Yzerman, Armstrong and the rest of the management team read off names one by one, listing the group they hope will get the job done. Chris Kunitz, Patrick Marleau and Jeff Carter had their names called, while Claude Giroux, Logan Couture, Martin St. Louis and many others got phone calls from the staff delivering the bad news.
"The calls this morning to the guys that weren't making it, those are real difficult calls," Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said at Tuesday's news conference. "It kind of leaves an empty feeling in your stomach."
As difficult as those decisions and conversations were, they were necessary.
In the final analysis, Canada chose to put together a team of "different dimensions," in the words of Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland. Kunitz brings natural chemistry with Sidney Crosby, Marleau a mix of speed and scoring and Carter a nose for the net.
By the time the management team — made up of Yzerman, Holland, Chiarelli, Armstrong, Kevin Lowe, Hockey Canada executive Brad Pascall and coach Mike Babcock — got down to the final meeting, there was a general consensus on all three goaltenders, seven defencemen and 11 or 12 forwards.
Then it got down to brass tacks.
"The decisions, the late-night wrangling, it's like you go over things four, five, six, seven times," Chiarelli said. "Is this the right reason? Is this the right guy? What's the right reason? We talked about four or five guys at the end, and you have second thoughts, and you just got to be firm on what you believe and the fit."
Whether Yzerman wanted to acknowledge it publicly or not, Kunitz ultimately fit because of his production alongside Crosby, to the tune of 23 goals and 24 assists this season. Yzerman pointed to Kunitz winning the 2009 Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins and his 2008 world championship appearance for Canada, but this was always about Crosby.
"A lot of people have asked me, 'Is Kunitz being helped by Sidney Crosby?'" Yzerman said. "They help each other. He's a tremendous player and ultimately, we asked ourselves, 'Does he belong on this team?' And the answer is 'Yes.' "
The same went for Marleau, one of 11 returning players from the team that won gold at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver who fits as a natural left-winger. Carter, the last cut four years ago when Canada was waiting on Ryan Getzlaf's injury status, also earned a spot based on a need for pure goal-scorers.
With only 25 spots to fill, that meant saying no to a few players who were either considered locks at some point in the process or seemingly played too well to keep from going to Sochi.
A reported hand injury couldn't have helped Couture's chances, though his not being named just in case speaks to Canada's desire to go in another direction. A slow start hurt Giroux's chances, and though Yzerman said there would be no hard feelings for him not attending Olympic orientation camp, that did not reflect well.
Three Vancouver Olympians who still warranted serious discussion didn't get to come back: Eric Staal, Joe Thornton and Mike Richards.
Staal struggled early and suffered a lower-body injury last week. Thornton's 48 points weren't enough to offset his inability to play wing on the bigger, international-sized ice surface.
"You know what — Claude Giroux, Joe Thornton — all these players, I can go on and on," Yzerman said. "I'm going to have to walk into rinks and see these players as well and I don't feel good about not putting any of them on the team."
The toughest cut was St. Louis, who didn't make it in 2010 and looked like a no-doubter this time based on winning the Art Ross Trophy last season. Yzerman, who also serves as GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning, got to tell injured star Steve Stamkos he was on the team but couldn't say the same to his captain, St. Louis.
"All I can say is that Marty's been a tremendous player for us," Yzerman said. "This year with a transition to a much younger group and Stammer being injured, he's been a tremendous leader, he's played extremely well and he's been great for our younger players. I can honestly say that's not a decision that I enjoy making."
But it wasn't about enjoying the decisions as much as making them. Others, like Jamie Benn, Matt Duchene and Patrick Sharp made it nearly impossible to keep them off the team.
Jonathan Toews, Rick Nash, Patrice Bergeron, Getzlaf and Corey Perry round out the forwards returning from 2010, and there couldn't really be a true Canadian Olympic team in 2014 without young superstar John Tavares.
On defence, the top six of Duncan Keith, Shea Weber, Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Pietrangelo, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Drew Doughty came easy. Dan Hamhuis made it as the final left-handed shot, while P.K. Subban got the final right-handed spot after much debate.
"P.K. is a guy that provides a dimension — the ability to transport the puck, run a power play," Holland said. "He can make a big play to win you a game. He can be a game-breaker."
In goal, Armstrong said there wasn't much late debate after the management team reached a consensus on Roberto Luongo, Carey Price and Mike Smith. Luongo was in goal in Vancouver when Canada won gold four years ago, while Price's world junior experience and recent NHL play made him an slam-dunk choice.
Babcock wouldn't name a starter for the Feb. 13 opener against Norway on Tuesday for a very specific reason.
"What we did is we chose three goalies that could start because with the injury situation in the National Hockey League, to say this guy's your starter, I think you're foolish," he said. "Who can win any game? And that's what we tried to do."
This group won't be charged with winning just one game but many. Remembering the small margin of error in Vancouver, Yzerman hopes the calls made now pave the way to gold in Sochi.
"In our position we've got to make (a decision), and today we can't pull the eraser out and change a name," he said. "Every one of us in Canada has an opinion on who should be on this team and nobody's wrong. Nobody's wrong because they're all really good players."

Why is recidivism important? Recidivism is an important feature when considering the core criminal justice topics of incapacitation, specific deterrence and rehabilitation.
Incapacitation refers to the effect of a sanction to stop people from committing crime by removing the offender from the community.
Specific deterrence is the terminology used to denote whether a sanction stops people from committing further crime, once the sanction has been imposed or completed.
Rehabilitation refers to the extent to which a program is implicated in the reduction of crime by "repairing" the individual in some way by addressing his or her needs or deficits.
More about measuring recidivism.
Recidivism research is embedded throughout NIJ-sponsored research in sentencing, corrections and policy intervention evaluations. Many NIJ-funded studies of community supervision depend on recidivism measurement to inform probation and parole policy.
Recidivism and desistance. An important connection exists between the concept of recidivism and the growing body of research on criminal desistance.
Desistance refers to the process by which a person arrives at a permanent state of nonoffending. In effect, an offender released from prison will either recidivate or desist. To the extent that interventions and sanctions affect the process of desistance, the research overlaps.
Desistance is usually measured as a "discrete state," researchers for the National Consortium on Violence Research noted in a 2001 study. They advocated considering desistance to be a developmental process and developed a statistical model for future research.
Evaluating prisons. Recidivism has also been implicated in the performance of prisons and has been used to study the difference between the effectiveness of privately and publicly managed prisons.

It's important to note it's the stretch SF that's the most important position, not just any SF. Which is where I should have clarified. That's my bad. Still, it's the most important.
Like I said only Bron and Pierce the only finals MVP the last 24 years, that is how I know the SF is not the most important as you claim.
I guess I just disagree with a method of judging importance of a position by finals MVP considering how circumstantial that reasoning is.
Important to note again that there aren't a lot of great SF's, but a top tier SF is the best position to have a top tier player.
