- How to Read a Study Record
- To evaluate the impact of genetic polymorphism on ARV drug levels
- To evaluate the effect of genetic polymorphism/drug levels on long term immunologic and virologic response
- To correlate the genetic polymorphism/drug levels on antiretroviral toxicities
The long-term objective of this research plan is to characterize impact of pharmacogenomics to HIV drug concentration, toxicities, and response to antiretroviral therapy among HIV-infected adults. A comprehensive understanding of the impact of pharmacogenomics to HIV infection and HIV medication will lead to the development of appropriate intervention such as dose reduction strategies in patients with particular gene(s) correlated with higher drug levels. The dose reduction strategy will decrease long term drug toxicity and cost saving for Thais and Asian Ethnicities.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
The overall goal of this study is to characterize role of pharmacogenomic on ARV drug (atazanavir, and efavirenz) levels, its toxicities, and its long term efficacy among HIV-infected adults in Thailand. The specific aims are (1) to evaluate the impact of genetic polymorphism on ARV drug levels (2) to evaluate the effect of genetic polymorphism/ drug levels on long term immunologic and virologic response (3) to correlate the genetic polymorphism/drug levels on antiretroviral toxicities. The proposed study will be analysed in stored samples of the well-established cohort of long-term follow-up study for HIV-infected patients participated in HIV-NAT study protocols, the HIV-NAT006 study. This cohort provide us unique opportunity to study impact of pharmacogenomics on long term treatment response and long term drug toxicities since this cohort was started in 1996. Furthermore, the important factors include ARV regimen, drug toxicities, PBMC, immunological and virological parameters have been collected every 6 months basis in HIV-NAT006 study.
A comprehensive understanding of the impact of pharmacogenomics to HIV infection and HIV medication will lead to development of appropriate intervention, particularly, dose reduction strategy in patient with particular gene correlated with greater drug levels. The dose reduction strategy will decrease long term drug toxicity and cost saving for Thai and Asian Ethnicity.

- Frequency of MDR1-3435 allele variants,MDR1-2677 allele variants,UGT1A1 allele variants, frequency of CYP 2B6 variants in efavirenz treatment and compare candidate gene and treatment response of ATV/r or EFV [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
- Compare drug conc. of UGT1A1 variant with bilirubin, drug conc. & treatment resp. of ATV/r or EFV, drug conc.for WT, drug conc.for 2B6 variant with EFV toxicity & drug discontinuation, drug conc.or 2B6 variant with long term efficacy & EFV resistance [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Patients are divided into 4 groups based on whether they need to redraw their blood.
- have adequate samples stored and do not need additional blood draws.
- have EFV or ATV blood concentrations samples stored but do not have samples for genotyping. Need extra 5-ml sample.
- have samples stored but the samples cannot be used to test for EFV or ATV blood concentrations because the time of drug intake and blood drawn are unknown. Need to redraw 5-ml sample.
- have never had both drug concentration and genotyping done. Need to give 10 ml of blood sample to perform both tests.

text: Infusion therapy involves the administration of drugs, fluids and blood to patients through injections, usually intravenously (which is known as intravenous therapy), although the term extends to intramuscular injections and epidural routes as well. The major professional organization for infusion nursing is the Infusion Nurses Society (INS). Registered nurses can earn the Certified Registered Nurse Infusion (CRNI) credential through the Infusion Nurses Certification Corporation (INCC); this certification program is accredited by both the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and the American Board of Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts excellent, overall job growth for registered nurses. The median registered nurse salary is $62,450.

I think that is what my ex-boyfriend said right before we made love like rabbits and even made the rabbits a bit jealous.
*sneaks to the front of the line in a clever disguise*
Rabbit ears are not a clever disguise... quirky, appropriate even... but clever...?
You can't blame me for trying! *takes said bunny ears off*
*points to the back* Back of the line, bub. You should've pre-ordered. :p
Is Ryven going to be our muffin man for this game, too?
It was left. I added Trieste, she was the first to ask. Did anyone else request a slot?
But of course, madam...My large coat is being dry-cleaned as we speak, and soon it will be full of fresh baked muffiny goodness.
Hooray! *puts on tart uniform*
-Gets her own costume ready-Bringing out the whip...
*drags Kip and Trieste over* You two will help me sell lots of them. I just need to get Kip a good uniform.
I get a uniform this time? real clothes?*is not sure whether he's sad or happy*
They'll be real alright... *hands him a pair of leather chaps and a cod piece* Here you go!
*points Kip to his hut* Right in there...

Johnson, VT (30 January 09)—Following Josh
Dave just wrapped up his writer's retreat, and has the first 120 pages of "Following Josh" written. Look for that title some time in 2010 from the publisher with the best offer--it's going to be great!
Johnson, VT (16 January 09)—Writer's Retreat
Dave is ensconced in a writer's retreat in northern Vermont, where he's working on his next two books. They're not about paintball, but you'll love the true story of two men traversing the world by train, and his collection of humor essays. It's -21 degrees right now, so he's clammed up tight in his office, working feverishly on those manuscripts. He has a case of "501 Paintball Tips…" in the office, and is ready to ship exclusive author-signed copies via Priority Mail at a moment's notice. Just for you. Because you deserve nothing less than the best, and he's grateful for every reader. Especially the readers who don't shoot him while he's photographing scenario events!
St. Louis, MO (12 January 09)—Toys for Tots Success!
Thanks to everyone who bought a copy of "501 Paintball Tips…" from Dave at the Toys for Tots charity signing events in New Jersey and Missouri, and thanks to everyone who bought a copy from Real Action Paintball's website RAP4.com during the promotional period. This update is a bit late, but you all came through just in time last month. KT Tran at Real Action Paintball partnered with Dave to donate proceeds from sales of "501 Paintball Tips…" during the Christmas shopping season to the Toys for Tots charity, which provides clean, safe, new toys to kids in underprivileged circumstances. Dave spent a day before Christmas shopping around with musician and composer Suraj Prashad, buying dozens of toys with the money raised. Check out the picture above to see some of the musical instruments, toy cars, stuffed animals, action figures, Frisbees and balls and everything else your donations provided the kids this past Christmas! Thanks everyone, and thanks to the US Marine Corps for their traditions of service and compassion with the Toys for Tots campaign.
St. Louis, MO (10 January 09)—Coming Soon
With Paintball 2 Xtremes gone and Paintball News "ceasing publication for a while," we're down two great resources…but you can still find Dave's writing and that of a lot of other great paintball journalists every month in Action Pursuit Games, Jungle, Paintball Sports, and FaceFull. Coming soon to 501PaintballTips.com: an index of Dave's published paintball articles in those magazines over the last few years. Put the tactical and strategic articles together, and you'd have a volume comparable in length and scope to "501 Paintball Tips…" but nowhere near as handy. Check out the book, thanks for buying the magazines that kindly publish him, and see you on the field in '09!
Worldwide (1 January 09)—First Day of the '09 Season
Happy New Year, and welcome to the '09 season. Best wishes to everyone playing a New Year's Day game today!

Unfolding Scandal: Spitzer versus Schwarzman
The news this week is deeply ironic: the main building of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street will be engraved with the name of Stephen A. Schwarzman, while the periodicals inside may sadly chronicle Eliot Spitzer, the governor of New York state, as Client Number 9 of a prostitution ring. Both men made their name on Wall Street: Schwarzman rose from his first job in investment banking at Lehman Brothers to run the Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, that has allowed him to stash away an estimated $4 billion today, while Spitzer got corporations from Samsung to investment bankers like Lehman Brothers to return almost the same amount to the public trust.
The Wall Street financier is now giving $100 million to support a worthy cause that taxpayers cannot afford: a new library to lend books, wireless Internet access and new rooms for children and teenagers, to attract as many as three million new users, most of whom are expected to be from low-income minority groups. It will be financed by the profits that Schwarzman made at Blackstone by exploiting tax loopholes to cut his tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent, costing the U.S. taxpayer tens of millions of dollars.Doubtless one of the books that will be available at the new library will be the play Julius Ceasar, where Mark Anthony is quoted as saying: "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." Yet Schwarzman, like many wealthy people before him, will be able to escape the curse of history, by buying fame at a public auction.
Spitzer may not escape the curse. The name "Mr. Clean" may never be applied to him again. But for those of us that track corporate fraud, who can forget his shining moments?
For example, in 2002 when ten Wall Street banks from Bear Sterns to UBS Warburg were forced to pay $1.4 billion to settle charges of "spinning" stock prices to make millions for wealthy investors? Or in 2003, when his office uncovered how mutual fund brokers allowed select clients privileges deprived to ordinary customers? Another billion dollars was paid back to the small investor. How about the $50 million in royalties that his office discovered that record companies hid from musicians in a 2004 investigation? And let's not forget the $730 million in fines paid out in 2006 when his office discovered price-fixing among computer chip manufacturers.
When Spitzer offered his apologies for his private folly, he asked that the media remember that politics should not be about individuals but about ideas and the public good. That surely is also the role of libraries — ideas and the public good — not about celebrating the titans of greed and excess. Perhaps if Wall Street were to pay its fair share of tax dollars to spend on libraries, then there would be no need to name the Central Library after one of the men who robbed the public purse.
Will children who pass through those two stone lions to enter the library notice that their names are Patience and Fortitude? Or will they hope that one day they become as rich and famous as the man after whom the building is named?
I hope that when they look through the shelves of the New York public library, they will find books and magazines that remind generations of New Yorkers to come of Eliot Spitzer's true legacy: of an honest man — human and fallible no doubt — who spoke truth to power.
(And for those on Wall Street who are crowing about Spitzer's misfortune, shame on you; your turn may be next to lose your job in the reckoning over the real scandal on Wall Street: the sub-prime mortgage crisis that threatens to leave many a poor family without a home of their own.)

Blogs, SEO, and Other Web 2.0 Job Search Tools
A resume sometimes isn't enough in this world of social networking and blogs. In the new Web 2.0 world of interactive Internet, Web 2.0 tools are available that can play a role in your job search. You may not be certain who's who and what's what in the new social tools. (Social in this usage means collaboration with others to achieve a goal.)
Here's a brief rundown to help you make sense of a fast-forward competitive job market:
Blog: Originally created as Web-based journals written by one or more writers. Today's sophisticated versions read like mainstream media stories and columns. You can just read blogs and move on or you can post your comments for others to see. Frequencies of a blog's publication vary from daily to weekly to occasional.
Recruiters sometimes write blogs that job seekers can follow to pick up employment-opportunity intelligence. Additionally, recruiters may canvass blog writers for names of potential candidates who are tops in a field. Blog writers themselves may be experts in a field and become the object of a recruiter's professional affections.
A vlog is a blog that contains video content. A small but growing section of the blogosphere devoted to vlogs is called the vlogosphere.
Instant messaging (IM): Real-time communication between two or more people. Job seekers IM for leads and company research with people on their buddy lists, and sometimes with recruiters. You can also receive new job postings by IM.
Podcast: An audio message (file) sent over the Internet. Podcasts can be downloaded and played on portable media devices (iPhone or BlackBerry) anytime in any place. Typically, a podcast is sent from employer to candidate, not the other way around.
RSS (Real Simple Syndication): Subscribers to an RSS feed, usually free in employment uses, receive content updates when available from selected Web sites. The RSS job agent feature is especially useful to job seekers wanting to discover new job openings that match the job seekers' criteria.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Technical and strategic maneuvers that increase the traffic driven by search engines to a Web site. Recruiters and employers use SEO to deliver job seekers to their Web sites. And technology-wise job seekers call upon SEO to drive traffic to their own Web sites, hoping to bring favorable mentions of themselves to page 1 or 2.
Social media: An umbrella term for Web-based technology where the media can be easily shared by affinity groups; covers such technology as blogs, podcasts, video, RSS, and photo-sharing. Illustrations of those with varying degrees of career management significance include LinkedIn, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Ning, and Technorati.
Social networking services: Web-based services that give users a way to find people with similar interests. The services connect users by enabling them to join online communities and interact directly with each other. Some of the interactivity focuses on job search and recruiting. The services provide different methods for interaction, including discussion groups, messaging, e-mail, and commentary on blogs.
The difference between social media and social networking is observation and interaction. Social media enables social networking. That is, social media can exist without social networking, but social networking can't exist without social media. Example: When a recruiter views an online profile posted on a professional social media Web site such as LinkedIn, the recruiter is observing. But when the recruiter is motivated to contact a person who is observed, the recruiter is interacting.

Professor Wylde's Traveling Event Show
Based on Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's popular Wild Animal Show, this traveling version will use humor, theatrical techniques, and trained animals to educate and entertain.

+Power necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 280 diseños de 74 diseñadores freelance.
We are a new start up with big aspirations. We are a team of health conscious professionals with varied industry experience globally. We are creating a new website focusing on providing advice, products and services that will help support men who wish to live a positively motivated, healthy, prosperous and enjoyable lifestyle through their 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and beyond!
The website will be filled with content covering: Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements, Motivation, Medical advice and more, presented in a friendly real-world style, focused on honesty and simplicity. In time it is likely to expand to cover grooming, travel etc.
We are looking to create a community feel to the site with an honest myth busting approach to the current online male fitness and lifestyle websites and ad banners.
Our target audience is simply all 40+ men, who are either already living a healthy life or wish to explore ways of improving their health and wellbeing, in either a small or significant way.
We expect many of our audience to be brand aware in other parts of their life and have a relatively high disposable income.
The logo has to be both bold and simple, with a clever use of the + sign. The style has to be professional and not cartoon-like in appearance and effective use of colour and design should provide an innovative outlook with a quality appearance.
The image needs to work well as a watermark on high quality photography and videos, many of which will have water or blue sky in the background as well as flesh tones. A couple of example photos are attached, feel free to use to show how your logo would look in a corner placement. But also show your logo standalone.
In the future the logo maybe used as a clothing brand, however initially it's presence will remain online.
Do not add any other image to the logo, ie: Dumbells / Male silhouette etc. as we feel this should not be necessary to create the impact required.
We are looking to work with rich secondary colours, the colours we have in mind at this stage are steely / silvery greys complemented by aqua blues to deep purples. However, feel free to play with this if you believe something else could work more effectively.
The font style needs to remain clean and architectural.
File formats: JPEG & layered PSD
Additions to the brief as a result of what we have seen so far:
The word POWER needs to be uppercase so it has more presence
Feel free to make the + sign more bold and a bigger feature of the design, however we do like how it is used in #1
Also we do like how the logo has a blocked out background in #10 . If the plus sign was even larger it would allow for different block out section behind 40 than behind POWER...just a thought of ours.

Thanks for letting us know LoveRocked!
I wish I was one that had watched the show. Is the show on Sunday a repeat or a new show? We have not had cable or internet for 5 days.
The judges shouldn't have let go " Shane Bruce " from Moundsville so soon. Sounded like he had a gifted voice that needed alittle help and i'm sure next time he was on stage could have done better. I guess maybe next year for him.
Thank you. I tried the link but the internet still too slow here. I guess I should be happy to have electricity. Hoping it will be put on Demand next week.
A girl from my high school made it into Hollywood. But she was only in the short little montage of people who made it.

FORT HOOD, Texas — A Fort Hood soldier whose family came to the United States as refugees when he was 10 became the first Vietnamese-American to reach the rank of general in the U.S. Army on Wednesday.
Col. Viet Luong received his brigadier general's stars from the Fort Hood commander, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, at a ceremony Wednesday at the Central Texas Army post.
Luong and nine other family members escaped South Vietnam on a flight during Operation Frequent Wind in 1975. After a stay at a resettlement camp in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, the family settled in Los Angeles, the Killeen Daily Herald reported.
Today, he is the 1st Cavalry Division deputy commanding general for maneuver and the first Vietnamese-born officer to reach the position of general staff or flag officer in the U.S. military.
"The journey was arduous," he said after his wife pinned his new stars on him.
"I don't like to tell that story too much. I'm deeply humbled. I do have some responsibility ... to tell the story of our nation and what it stands for," he said.
"I'm a symbol of democracy, freedom and the justice of our Constitution," he said.
Among the hundreds attending the ceremony were Luong's seven sisters, his mother, wife and three children.
"Viet and sisters are Americans now by choice," Milley said. "He has served this great nation honorably over the last many decades. ... There's no one in uniform today that epitomizes what it takes to be an American soldier more than Viet Luong."
Luong commanded combat troops in Iraq in 2006-08 and Afghanistan in 2009-10.

Spokesman of Iran's Permanent Envoy to the UN refuted Wednesday a "false" report published Tuesday by the UPI news agency, which quoted an American official as saying that "it had been possible not to have members of Iranian official delegation fingerprinted by US authorities " upon arrival in New York to attend the UN-sponsored 'Beijing+5' meeting, reported Iran News Agency (IRNA).
The Iranian envoy was quoted as saying that the US Immigration Office's decision not to fingerprint the official delegation came on a request by their American hosts and Iran's Representative office to the UN had not any role in that concern.
Meanwhile, seven members of an Iranian NGO, accompanying the official delegation were demanded to be fingerprinted, said the agency.
They protested that US authorities demanded their fingerprints upon arrival, but decided to miss the conference.
The Iranian envoy said that such a move by US authorities is baseless and "we have complained to the UN for such treatment."
"We had been invited by the United Nations, so US immigration officials had no right to fingerprint us," member of the Islamic Revolution Women's Association, Sediqeh Hejazi told the agency Monday upon arriving in Iran - Albawaba.com

Islamic Jihad (IJ), also known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (in Arabic, Harakat al-Jihad al-Islami al-Filastini), is a terrorist organization whose objectives include the destruction of Israel ("the full liberation of the Palestinian lands"); the elimination of all Western influences in the Middle East by means of an armed and uncompromising jihad, or holy war; and the convergence of all Arab and Muslim countries into a single great Islamic state. Based in Damascus and supported financially by Syria and Iran, IJ also maintains offices in Beirut, Tehran and Khartoum. It is most influential in the West Bank (especially in Hebron and Jenin) and the Gaza Strip, where it carries out the majority of its activities. It does not, however, possess the political or social importance of Hamas. IJ has also staged terrorist attacks in Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Islamic Jihad's organizational emblem depicts a map of the land to which it lays claim (i.e., present-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip) superimposed on the images of the Dome of the Rock (the seventh-century landmark believed by Muslims to be the spot from which the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven), two fists, and two rifles. Islamic Jihad was established in 1979 by three radical Palestinian students, Fathi Shikaki, Abdul Aziz Odeh, and Bashir Moussa, who were studying in Egypt. They formed the group after deciding that the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip was too moderate for their political tastes. In 1981 the Egyptian government expelled Islamic Jihad from the country when it learned that the organization was closely linked to the assassins of President Anwar Sadat. At that point, IJ relocated to the Gaza Strip, where it initiated a new round of terrorist activities. In 1988, Shikaki and Odeh were banished from Gaza and went to Lebanon. Once there, Shikaki reorganized and strengthened his group's ties with Hezbollah. IJ continued its terror campaign, attacking a tour bus in Egypt in 1990, killing 11 people, including 9 Israelis. In 1993, an Islamic Jihad member successfully carried out a major attack on American soil: Ramzi Yousef, along with a cell of Islamic Group terrorists (under the leadership of Omar Abdel Rahman) drove a truck filled with explosives into a parking garage of the World Trade Center and detonated it. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. Yousef was later apprehended in Pakistan and brought back to the United States for prosecution. He was sentenced to life in prison. Shortly after the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, Islamic Jihad formed an alliance of sorts with Hamas, and the two groups, which had previously been rivals, now began coordinating some of their suicide attacks against Israeli targets. In October 1995, Fathi Shikaki was killed in Malta, allegedly by Israeli agents. He was replaced by Ramadan Abdallah Shallah, a Palestinian who had previously lived in the United States, where he had co-founded -- along with Sami Al-Arian, Mazen al Najjar, and Khalil Shikaki -- the World Islam Study Enterprise. Though Shallah's lack of charisma and organizational skills diminished Islamic Jihad's reputation among other terrorist groups in the region, the change in leadership did not put an end to IJ's terror campaign. In March 1996, for instance, the organization claimed responsibility for suicide bombings in Tel Aviv that killed 20 people and wounded more than 75. Since September 2000, when the Second Intifada was launched against Israel, Islamic Jihad has staged many suicide attacks inside the Jewish state, including 15 car bombings that killed 25 and wounded close to 400 between the years 2000 and 2006. Shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, Islamic Jihad announced that it was backing Saddam Hussein -- in reciprocity for Saddam's support for Palestinian terrorists in Israel (he had given more than $35 million in cash awards to the families of suicide bombers who had attacked Israeli targets -- mostly civilians). Islamic Jihad showed Saddam its appreciation by staging a March 30, 2003 suicide bombing at a crowded pedestrian mall in the Israeli costal town of Netanya, and proclaiming the act "a gift to the heroic people of Iraq." In 2003 Islamic Jihad announced that it was sending suicide bombers to Iraq to help fight what it called the "American invasion" there. According to Nafez Azzam, the IJ leader in Gaza and the West Bank, "The Islamic Jihad movement is interested in intensifying attacks in this phase to make it clear to Arabs, Muslims, and the whole world that what is going on here in Palestine is the same as what is happening in Iraq." After Israel withdrew its military presence and all its settlements from Gaza in 2005, Islamic Jihad promptly initiated a campaign of near-daily rocket barrages sprayed randomly into southern Israeli border communities, in hopes of drawing blood somewhere. The rockets are imprecise and thus are designed only for terrorist purposes; they could, and do, land anywhere -- in a field, in a school, in a hospital, in a home. As of late 2007, Islamic Jihad had fired more than 2,000 of these rockets into Israel. On December 17, 2007, Israeli aircraft killed Islamic Jihad's top commander and nine of his fellow terrorists in a Gaza attack. In response, all of Gaza City's mosques played verses from the Koran over loudspeakers, in honor of the fallen jihadists. Thousands of Gazans took part in funeral processions that featured Islamic Jihad members firing long barrages of bullets into the air and vowing that "revenge is coming soon." Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Hamza said, "The blood of our comrades will be the fuel for the rockets that will bring death and destruction to the Zionists." Among the more notable Islamic Jihad members of recent times was Sami Al-Arian, who headed the organization's North American operations while he worked as a professor at the University of South Florida. In March 2013, Islamic Jihad announced that it had decided, for the first time, to run its own candidates in the elections of the Palestinian National Council, the PLO's parliament. "Our participation in the National Council elections is conditioned on repairing the PLO, which has been deformed by the Palestinian Authority's so-called peace process with Israel," said Islamic Jihad's Gaza-based leader, Khader Habib. "We consider Oslo as a catastrophe that harmed Palestinians," he added. "Consequently, we are boycotting all of what it came up with." In an analysis of Islamic Jihad's announcement, Al-Monitor.com wrote:
"The decision introduces a change in the radical movement's approach towards political life. However, Habib said they are still boycotting the parliament — the Palestinian Legislative Council — and presidential elections as they are related to the PA [Palestinian Authority], which was created by the 1993 Oslo Accords and involved mutual recognition between Israel and the PLO."
