|HIV Infections
|Drug: Abacavir sulfate Drug: Abacavir sulfate, lamivudine, and zidovudine
|Not Applicable
ABC is approved for the treatment of HIV in adults and children, but it is unclear if currently recommended ABC doses are appropriate for adolescents. Previous data suggest ABC clearance in children is about twice that found in adults, but limited data exist on the pharmacokinetics of ABC in adolescents. This study will evaluate the 8-hour pharmacokinetics of ABC in HIV infected adolescents who are currently on ABC-containing treatment regimens.
There will be two groups in this study. Group 1 participants will be 13 to 17 years old. Group 2 participants will be 18 to 25 years old. All participants will receive a 300 mg dose of ABC as either a single-agent tablet or a combination tablet of ABC, lamivudine, and zidovudine (whichever they are currently taking). Participants will have a medical history assessment and a physical exam at screening and study entry. Participants will also be asked about adherence to their ABC-containing regimen at study entry. During the 8-hour drug level study, blood collection for pharmacokinetic analysis will occur prior to taking ABC, and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours after taking ABC.

Eric Abidal has signed for Monaco, the French club have confirmed.
The former Barcelona defender joins the newly-promoted Ligue 1 side on an initial one-year contract, but the club will have the option of offering him an extra year when the current deal expires.
The 33-year-old France international has been a free agent since June after Barca decided against offering him a new contract.
Abidal's career has been heavily interrupted in recent years due to illness.
He underwent surgery to remove a liver tumour in March 2011 but made a rapid recovery and was playing again before the end of the same season and started the Champions League final against Manchester United that year, which Barcelona won 3-1.
However, in March 2012 it was announced Abidal needed a liver transplant, which he underwent in April of that year and kept him out of action for just under 12 months.
He returned to training last December and made his long-awaited comeback on the pitch as a substitute in a league match with Real Betis at the Nou Camp in April, and went on to make a total of five appearances for Barcelona in the final two months of the season.
The Frenchman began his professional career with Monaco in 2000, spending two years there before joining Lille.
He announced he had returned to the club with a message on his official Twitter account, which said: 'I am very happy to have returned to France and Monaco, where it all began for me.'
Abidal, who was unveiled at the Stade Louis II stadium, is the latest of a growing list of notable captures by the French principality club this summer, which includes Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, Ricardo Carvalho, Jeremy Toulalan and Joao Moutinho.

Oct. 27, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This Friday, the Bulldogs will travel to the Bronx, N.Y., to compete in the Heptagonal Cross Country Championships. The men will race against the other seven Ivy League teams at Van Cortlandt Park (VCP) at "the Heps," starting the five-mile race at 12:30 p.m. The Bulldogs look to improve upon last year's result with an experienced group of seniors leading a talented team.
Last year, it was Princeton who won the men's competition with a score of 38 points, 29 points ahead of second-place Cornell. Princeton junior Michael Maag won the individual title, crossing the line in 24:37.9. Yale finished in eighth place with 170 points, which was the best score for an eighth-place team in the history of Heps, demonstrating how close the competition was. This year's captain, senior Jake Gallagher, led the Bulldogs with an All-Ivy effort, finishing 13th in 25:12. Gallagher owns the 11th-fastest time on VCP in Bulldog history, running 24:59 in 2006.
Others to watch on the Yale team include senior Murat Kayali, who has the Bulldogs' 16th-best time on VCP after running 25:12 in 2006. Seniors Jared Bell and John Hinkle, as well as junior Jeff Perella and sophomores Matt Bogdan and Max Walden, could also play a big part in leading the Bulldogs to a strong team finish this year.
This year, the Bulldogs have only raced two Ivy teams -- Harvard and Dartmouth -- and have come in second to both. However, the Bulldogs did not race with all of their runners in either of these meets, so they are just as capable as any team of competing for a top-three spot on the Heps podium. The teams to beat will be Princeton (ranked No. 2 in the Mid-Atlantic region), Cornell (Northeast No. 3) and Dartmouth (No. 4).
Princeton looks to have an edge going into the meet after receiving votes in the most recent USTFCCA coaches' poll and just barely missing out on a top-30 national ranking.
While the Tigers seem to be the team favorite again this year, 2007 Heps Champion Maag will have to contend against Dartmouth senior Ben True. While True did not race at Heps last year, he was the Heps Champion for cross-country in both 2005 and 2006, has earned All-American honors in cross-country and outdoor track & field, and is the only Dartmouth runner to break four minutes in the mile. Harvard sophomore Daniel Chenoweth may also be in the mix -- he had a strong showing in his last race at the Indiana State Pre-National meet, finishing only seven seconds behind True and running 24:05 over the 8,000-meter course.
Due to construction on the lower fields at Van Cortlandt, the course will be slightly modified from previous years. A map of the modified course, as well as directions to the race, can be found here. Results will be posted on the Ivy League Sports website and on www.yalebulldogs.com at the conclusion of the meet. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 2:15 p.m.

All features in the bodies of birds are created especially for flight. Birds need to be light enough to lift off the ground and fly, strong enough to fly over long distances and also some species need to be strong enough to easily carry their prey when they catch it. Therefore, both their feather structures and bone structures need to be light and their size needs to be limited.
· How are birds' size limited?
· What is the connection between birds' size and molting?
Birds need to molt their feathers at certain intervals in order to preserve the aerodynamic structure required for flight. This is because feathers get corroded as they are exposed to ultraviolet lights and bacteria. However, a certain time is needed for the feathers, which are of vital importance for flight, to molt. Therefore, Almighty Allah created a very important detail, and limited the size of birds so they do not have difficulty in molting. If birds were too big, their feathers would get corroded before they are at the size birds need and would not let the bird fly. But as birds grow, the size of the primary flight feathers increase by 1/3 in comparison to the weight. When this weight increases by 10 times, the feathers' length almost doubles in size.
As their body size increases, the speed of the increase in a feathers size rises by 1/6 with respect to its weight. When this weight increases by 10 times, it means that the molting time increases by 1.5 times and a bird of 10 kilos in size needs 56 days to renew even a single feather; and this is a very long time for birds that need to fly continuously.
However, our Lord's mercy and compassion manifests itself over the relationship between the renewal of feathers and the size of birds in the best way:
àSmall birds molt 9-10 flight feathers one or two times a year respectively and by spending three weeks for each one of them.
àIf they are bigger, they use a different method:
· The feather molting period takes 2 or even 3 years.
· They molt two feathers in two different spots at the same time.
· They molt all of their feathers if they do not need to fly for food or to flee from hunters (like ducks and goose).
It is of course an illogical claim that birds think and design these intelligent behaviors and plan their physical characteristics on their own. The truth is that Allah created birds and all other living beings out of nothing, and that all things move by His command. Allah, the All-powerful, reveals that He is the Owner of all beings in one verse of the Qur'an as such:
"Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. All are submissive to Him."(Surat ar-Rum, 26)
Almighty Allah is the One Who Determines Birds' Molting Periods
Bird feathers, which have a very complicated structure and complex aerodynamic characteristics, are created especially for these living things. Even a single bird feather is enough to prove the existence of Allah and the fact of creation.
- How did birds gain the ability to molt their feathers, which is of vital importance for flight, over time?
- Who taught them the precautions they need to take in order not to lose their flight abilities in this period?
- How could a bird take the decisions that will limit the size of its body by making a decision like "I need to change in the shortest time possible and by taking some precautions and thus I need to adjust my body size accordingly"?
There is no doubt that all of the arrangements in the bodies of these beings are the work of Almighty Allah, Who knows what they need to live and fly, grants them all of their needs and Who has superior intelligence and power. Birds change their bodily structures, ways of living and molting times when Allah wills them to do so. Allah created all of these beings and bestowed the necessary abilities on them. All of their functions are an evidence of Allah's Existence and Might. Therefore, every task they do is an act of praising Allah. Allah reveals in one verse of the Qur'an as follows:
"Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and earth glorifies Allah, as do the birds with their outspread wings? Each one knows its prayer and glorification. Allah knows what they do."(Surat an-Nur, 41)
Every single one of a bird's feathers has a different task. The feathers on the bird's abdomen, the wing and tail feathers have different characteristics than one another. Tail feathers, which are made up of large feathers, act as steering and braking mechanisms . Wing feathers, on the hand, have a structure that will broaden the surface during flapping and increase levitation force. When the bird is flapping its wings down, the feathers get close to one another and prevent the air from dissipating in between. During the moment when the bird is raising its wings up, the feathers open up as much as possible and create a position suitable for easy air passage.
Birds cast aside their feathers in order to protect their flight abilities. Large feathers, which are ruptured or torn, are renewed quickly as they cannot carry out their tasks fully.
The functions of bird feathers are very varied. The quills in the feathers help the bird fly. The tail quills that form the tail acts like a steering mechanism and makes it easier for the bird to "apply the brakes "when it lands. All of these are possible by the will of Allah Who is the Owner of superior creation and infinite mercy and by His control over His creations.
"Have they not looked at the birds above them, with wings outspread and folded back? Nothing holds them up but the All-Merciful. He sees all things." (Surat al-Mulk, 19)

My new show, "Personal Space" opened last night at Bonner David galleries in Scottsdale, AZ -- click link below to see it!
Heard it was well received, but I'm back here at home painting for another gallery that will be carrying me in California, then on to an exclusive group show in New York after that... Sounds like I'm movin' and groovin' in the art world, but it's business as usual: you paint, frame, ship 'em out and hope for the best. I am very grateful doors are opening, but sales are what keeps the boat afloat. Would like to say money doesn't matter, but when it's your family's livelihood it sure does.
At least I love what I do -- and that counts for a lot!

Rescue teams risk everything to save lives on Hamden's Sleeping Giant (video)
HAMDEN -- Thousands visit Sleeping Giant State Park annually without getting hurt, but when something does happen, firefighters trained in mountain rescue are there to help.
The Hamden Fire Department Mountain Rescue Team was there Feb. 5, when 18-year-old Tobias Engel of Hamden slipped and fell 200 feet from the chin area of the tower trail, later dying from his injuries.
Officers from the Sleeping Giant Park Assocation tried to retrace Engel's steps recently to figure out what could have gone wrong, and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which oversees the park, still has no answers.
"It's so easy to misstep. You can step on a rock or trip over a root without thinking," said Julie Hulten, the association's community outreach coordinator.
In the last decade, there have been three fatalities at the Giant, one of which was a suicide, said Chuck Schall, association president. "There have been injuries and a lot of rescues of rock climbers that get stuck and the Fire Department has to get them down."
In the last five years, DEEP recorded six reported injuries, three rescues from the cliff face and quarry wall and 16 lost people at the park.
It's a small number compared to what could take place, given that 100,000 people visit annually, said Schall.
In April 2010, a Southern Connecticut State University student suffered a critical head injury when he fell about 20 feet, and Matthew Roche, 19, from Bristol, died from an early afternoon fall along the blue trail at the base of the stone tower in June 2010. In September 2010, a 23-year-old novice climber from Greenwich fell 20 feet and was hurt.
In April 2011, two teenage boys tried to climb the quarry about 100 feet up and were rescued in a three-hour operation. In March 2011, firefighters rescued a man in his 20s who hurt his ankle when he was walking along a trail.
Environmental Conservation police are still investigating the circumstances behind Engel's death, according to Tom Tyler, director of state parks for DEEP. Asked if the DEEP is considering safety improvements, Tyler said the results of the investigation will be reviewed. "We will consider making changes, if appropriate," Tyler said.
At Sleeping Giant and other state parks, "If hikers stay on marked trails, you're not dangerously close to the edge of a drop off, but we know some visitors will incur some risk, taking informal paths to maximize their view or look over the edge," said Tyler, and that's when accidents can happen.
Schall said he's "just devastated" by Engel's death and feels for his family.
Members of the park association are always concerned about park safety, but Schall and Hulten say adding fencing to the edges of trails would not be a deterrent. They say that would cause people to step over the fencing into harm's way.
"When the trails were installed, they intentionally moved them back from the edge of the cliffs," said Schall. "The guys who created them were very conscious of the fact that it was a dangerous area, so there was no need to go close to the cliff's edge."
The trails were created in the 1950s and '60s by Norman Greist and Richard Elliott. According to Hulten, many of the trails historically were carriage roads for people who vacationed at the Giant.
People should know that things could get risky without the proper equipment, tools and training, they said.
"On the back of the head, the stone is unsafe because of the quarrying operation" that stopped in 1934, Hulten said.
However, they will talk about perhaps better signage as a way to remind people to stay on trails when they're hiking.
The park, Hulten says, is a rugged place, "the last bastion of wilderness in New Haven County."
The park had its own search and rescue team about 20 years ago, but now the Fire Department's Mountain Rescue Team responds, along with local police and state EnCon officers.
Often, however, the Hamden Fire Department responds because of medical calls to the Giant, such as bee stings, chest pains and anaphylactic shock, and cuts and other minor injuries, Fire Chief David A. Berardesca said.
Sleeping Giant is a beautiful mountain and a beautiful park, "so long as people use common sense and safety precautions."
For example, people who are prone to allergic reactions should have medicines with them. They also should bring hike with another person and bring charged cell phones so in the event of an emergency, the injured or lost person can talk to firefighters or firefighters can get a GPS signal and locate the person.
According to Berardesca, about 20 firefighters usually respond to a mountain rescue, especially when they're on a cliff or rocky edge.
"The cliff at the quarry is about 300 feet, and people get in a situation where they shouldn't be, and now our people have to go up to the top and bring equipment to higher points and rappel down," he said.
If the person is injured and has to be immobilized in a basket, then it adds another layer of difficulty to the rescue, the chief said. The person is lowered to other firefighters and medical personnel who are lower down on the mountain. And while that is taking place, rescuers are at risk of getting hit by rocks that loosen. The chief remembers a couple of times when rescuers have been hit by rocks and have to be treated.
If people use common sense, stay on marked trails, wear good hiking shoes or sneakers and long pants and sleeves to protect against ticks, "you should have an enjoyable and safe time," Berardesca said. "It's the people who wander off to areas they shouldn't be who are typically the people who we have to rescue."
According to Co. 1 Capt. Ed Evers, the amount of times mountain rescue responds depends on park usage, which is up in the nice weather.
"We train for all different scenarios. Most common is when someone begins to climb a cliff face and can't climb any more or doesn't have the proper equipment, when they're stuck and uninjured and need help. Less common is when someone falls from a high point," Evers said.
Firefighter Nelson Hwang has been on calls when the injuries are extensive. Those calls "are very labor intensive. You have to carry all this," he said, pointing to bags of ropes, harnesses and other equipment.
Firefighters train at the mountain about twice a month. It is incorporated in the training that firefighters have for all kinds of responses, including water rescues and medical responses.
"Everyone is cross-trained. Any shift member can perform a rescue," Berardesca said.
Firefighter Dan Such said Fire Department vehicles, even an ATV, can't access parts of the Giant and "a lot of (the equipment) is hiked up by us."
Rescues can sometimes take hours because of the time it takes to get to the person, get them stable in a stokes basket and use ropes to lower the person. Firefighters could go as high as 600 feet to rescue someone.
"It doesn't look anywhere near as high as it is," said Evers.

With all the buzz about Microsoft's newly released Surface RT tablet, it's easy to forget that the RT is not Microsoft's only tablet.
Microsoft is also working on the Surface Pro which will run the full-blown version of Windows 8, along with all other Windows 7 software.
The Surface Pro will hit shelves sometime in early 2013 - some predict that will happen in January. But Microsoft has been tight-lipped about the price.
Now it looks like German retailer Notebook.de has leaked the price and is taking pre-orders, reports TWC News.
The site lists two versions of the Surface Pro, one with a a 64GB hard drive priced at about $920 excluding tax (€722) and one with a 128GB hard drive priced at $1026 (€808), excluding tax.
Microsoft has not confirmed these prices but they do match Microsoft's RT pricing scheme, which increases by $100 for each higher level model. The Microsoft Store sells the 32GB Surface RT for $499 without the famous touch-cover keyboard. The 32GB with the touch cover runs $599 and the 64GB with the touch cover costs $699.
A starting price of about $900 for a Surface Pro would also let Microsoft's other PC partners advertise a lower price. For instance, Dell's 64GB Latitude 10 with Windows 8 Pro starts at $749 but it doesn't include the keyboard, nor the Microsoft Office software.
The Surface Pro will be more popular with businesses than RT because it can run older Windows software.

Tipster Emir C. was not only kind enough to send this video of European soccer-fan violence along, but he provided a historical context for said wilding. To wit:
Away team scores. Home fans storm the field and run the away team off even inflicting injuries on some. Oh and home team is Croatian and away team is Bosnian. They're both located in the same city of Mostar where they fought the civil war in the '90s between each other.
YahooSport UK offered this footnote to Emir's story: "Trouble broke out after Rijad Demic scored for Velez in extra time. Zrinjski fans broke through a fence and headed towards the Velez players, who fled. Zrinjski and Velez represent opposite sides in the ethnically-divided town of Mostar, which is split into Croat and Muslim-run sectors."
The applause and orderly return to assigned seats are special touches.

The Dead Sea area, a wild and untamed desert, is steeped in history. The Book of Genesis mentions it as the seat of Sodom and Gomorra, and Kind David hid here from the wrath of Saul. In Roman times King Herod the Great built several fortresses and palaces in the area (the most famous of which is Massada) while the Essenes, a small and pious Jewish sect, settled in Qumran and wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls. Countless prophets, saints, monks and pilgrims found peace and refuge in this spiritual and secluded area.
During the detox retreat we'll go floating and mud bathing in the Dead Sea as a group, and you'll have plenty of chances to go by yourself, too. It's all included in the price of the retreat.
How do I get to Ein Gedi?
You fly into Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Int'l Airport and from there take a taxi/shuttle to the Ein Gedi Country Hotel, where the retreat takes place. The transfer to the hotel takes 1.5 hours.
Do I need a visa for Israel?
Passport holders from most Western countries do not need a visa for Israel. Check the official website of the Israel Ministry of Tourism to be sure.
How long is the flight to Israel?
From most West European airports the flight time is between 4-5 hours.
Transfer from airport to hotel
How long is the transfer between Tel Aviv airport and the Ein Gedi Country Hotel?
Transfer time is about one and a half hours.
How do I arrange a transfer?
There are several transfer options. The cheapest is The Dead Sea Hotel shuttle (€38 per person one way). The shuttle serves other hotels in the Dead Sea area, so you may have to wait a short while for passengers arriving on other flights. ). Seshir are based at the Ben Gurion International airport in Tel Aviv, first floor, next to the car hire desks. On arrival go to their desk, arrange payment and a driver will be waiting for you.
Private taxi drivers will get you there faster as there will be no waiting time. The price will be higher and will largely depend on the number of people sharing. For pick-ups at night a night tariff applies. The following drivers provide reliable service and charge the official government tariffs:
Taxi prices
The following is an indication of taxi prices to several popular destinations. Prices may vary according to the day and time of travel (Saturdays and night-time are more expensive). Use the following prices as a guidance.
Ben Gurion airport - Ein Gedi
Ein Gedi - Jerusalem 450 NIS
Waiting time (e.g. in Jerusalem)
Ein Gedi - Tel Aviv
Jerusalem - Tel Aviv
Currency and credit cards
What currency should I take with me to Israel?
Euros, dollars and all other major Western currencies are widely accepted in Israel. A cash point is available at the hotel.
What credit cards can I use in Israel?
All major credit cards are widely accepted in Israel. The Ein Gedi Country Hotel also accepts all major credit cards, including American Express.
How safe is it to travel in Israel?
A lot safer than the media would have you believe it. If you're heading straight for the retreat and take a direct transfer from the modern and efficient Tel Aviv Ben Gurion airport to the Ein Gedi Country Hotel, you will have nothing to worry about. You won't need guards or protection of any kind.
If you intend to travel in Israel before or after the retreat, then some caution is advisable in certain parts of the country. Your travel agent will be able to advise you on that. Over three million tourists visit Israel every year and go back home safe and happy.
How safe is it in the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea is a remote and scarcely populated area, far from all conflict zones.
What about personal safety - mugging, theft etc.?
While in the Ein Gedi Country Hotel, do as you would in any other hotel and keep your valuables in the safe.
In the large cities you'll need to be as cautious as you would be in any other large city in the world. Hold on tight to your belongings and keep your eyes open.
When taking a transfer or a cab, make sure you use a reputable company/driver arranged by the hotel or as recommended above.

Fiberglass Bodies And Reproduction Frames Add Up To Affordable Fun
It is interesting how things change. In the '70s the rebirth of street rodding was in full swing and much of it was based on the reproduction fiberglass T-bucket body and associated box tubing chassis. It was the 1-800 rod that was invented about the same time as the 1-800 number (which, should you be wondering, was first established in 1967). Go to a rod run in the '70s and you were sure to see a swarm of T-buckets of every description, some of them were original bodies, most were not. Ai Fiberglass, Speedway Motors, Total Performance, and others were leading the charge on the T-bucket brigade and while most hot rodders tend to think the T-bucket was the first fiberglass body, there were actually a number of companies and individuals making competition fiberglass bodies before the street-going T-bucket.
When Dave Anderson started Ai Fiberglass in 1962, they built lightweight bodies, doors, hoods, fenders, and decklids for drag racers. Lightweight was the name of the game so panel fit and finish was not a big priority. Willy, Anglia, and Austin owners were all looking for lightweight components for their gassers so this was the focus, along with a lightweight T-roadster and Bantam body for the altered classes. When street rodders began clamoring for reproduction bodies, companies like Ai Fiberglass answered the call with "street weight" fiberglass bodies and fenders. The oldest known '32 fiberglass roadster body that we can document was built by drag racer and street rodder Jerry Cogswell who made his own molds and built the body in 1959 for his Deuce race car. (Editor's Note: Jerry is a longtime, we mean longtime, L.A. Roadster member and retired airline pilot who now spends his time enjoying his hot rods. -B.B.)
Around the same time, the late-Dee Wescott was making top-quality reproduction fenders from his Wescott's Auto Restyling shop. While the Cogswell roadster was completed in 1959, the first commercially available Deuce roadster that we can document went on sale around 1971, built by John Brown in Illinois. Marten's Fabrication was also building a reproduction chassis for that body, but it lacked the iconic Deuce reveal in the side of the framerail. Dwight Bond was building fenders in Gibbon, Nebraska, in 1971, and in 1972 he introduced a complete Model A roadster and pickup body; by 1976 he was advertising '34 Ford roadster bodies. These were just some of the pioneers of the reproduction body, and since glass bodies have been around since the late-'50s it seems apparent that you can build a true nostalgia rod based on a fiberglass body-now that should stir up some conversation!
As street rodding progressed, the hobby embraced each new reproduction part, after all, these very parts enabled street rodding to grow and people to own cars they could not otherwise afford or find in their original state. Not long after the T-bucket, the Model A and Deuce roadster bodies were being manufactured in fiberglass by companies like Wescott's and Gibbon Fiberglass. While there were flat side reproduction framerails on the market, when the Deuce Factory introduced accurate, stamped '32 framerails everything changed. Suddenly a great street rod could be built using entirely new parts. The cost was more, but the end product was predictable, good looking, and the process generally saved a lot of time and labor. Pete & Jakes, Super Bell, and the Deuce Factory supplied everything from complete chassis to shock brackets, and suddenly building a street rod was a lot easier.
By the '80s fiberglass bodies were being produced to cover the Ford, Chevy, Willys, and Mopar lines of cars and even "phantom" bodies were being produced, cars that never existed but resembled cars of the '30s. We'll be kind here and say there was a vast range of design talent in the phantom body world and one need only attend a rod run to realize many of them were not particularly successful. But the fiberglass bodies of established cars like the '32-34 Ford three-window, roadster, and Victoria were a huge hit and most of them remain on the road today. Outlaw Performance had the Chevy market covered with their '34 three-window coupe and sedan. They also produce a very nice '40-41 Willys. The fiberglass bodies proved to be so popular that many owners of original bodies would affix decals or badges to their cars with the slogan, "Steel is Real," which at the time seemed reasonable enough since they wanted the world to know they had started their project with an original, 50-something-year-old body.
Around this same time, rumors spread of reproduction steel bodies and frankly it seemed unbelievable at the time. It began slowly with the Model A roadster body in 1982, followed by the Model A roadster pickup, both from Brookville Roadsters. Then a company called Experi-Metal produced a reproduction '32 Chevrolet roadster complete with fenders, running boards, and a hood and grille shell. These cars were not cheap, but they were brand-new metal and the argument was a simple one. By the time you find an original '32 Chevy and pay to have it repaired, it will cost you the same or more as simply buying a new steel body. Of course this same argument applied to the reproduction fiberglass body as well, only the savings were more dramatic due to the lower cost of the fiberglass body.
The steel reproduction floodgates really opened when the steel Deuce roadster body was introduced. Some of the most popular steel reproduction cars, like the Dearborn Deuce, are not faithful to the original car (which technically would put them in the "phantom" category) but the liberties taken on the body were so discreet it is difficult to tell the differences between this car and the original Deuce. Then Brookville introduced their steel Deuce roadster and three-window coupe bodies that have some structural differences and improvements, but the body panels are all faithful reproductions of the original Ford cars. Steve's Auto Restorations offers '33-34 coupes and roadsters and Kelvin Waddington's Australian Ute company builds beautiful '33-34 Ford phaetons and '28-29 Ford closed cab pickups, all in steel. And finally this year Bob Drake introduced the all-new, all-steel '40 coupe; a mammoth undertaking that has produced yet another great steel body. (At the time of this writing United Pacific Industries is preparing for the introduction of a '32 five-window.)
Remember that little badge on the dashboard of that steel Deuce roadster in 1982, "Steel is Real"? Well, that same moniker is now attached to hundreds of steel cars that, well, are not actually "real." While we applaud the advent of the steel body and feel that it has contributed to the street rodding and restoration hobby in much the same way as the fiberglass body, the fact remains that both the new steel and the fiberglass cars are reproduction bodies, the only thing that differs is the material. The "Steel is Real" battle cry is a bit of a stretch for repro-bodies but there is no denying that reproduction steel has become the body of choice for those who can afford the initial buy-in price.
Now, we are not saying one type of reproduction body is better than the other, rather we want to point out that both bodies are viable approaches to building a very cool hot rod. While the new line of steel bodies is incredible, the fiberglass alternative still provides an approach to street rodding on a slightly lower economic level. Nor are we suggesting a fiberglass body, reproduction frame crate motor is the low-buck way to build a street rod, but we will suggest that it is the midrange approach to street rodding and it will produce a car with predictable performance, great looks, along with many years of enjoyment. Add in timesavings and it is easy to see why the 1-800 rod is still a great way to go. The very term 1-800 rod has taken on a bit of a negative connotation lately but frankly if you want to build a really neat hot rod in about of year of weekend work let your fingers do the walking. To prove the point we decided it would be interesting to assemble just such a car today and see exactly what an all-new, mid-price range street rod costs and how it performs.
To accomplish this we enlisted the considerable talents of Bobby Alloway. We'll admit that many of us, OK make that most of us, are unable to build a hot rod in our home garage to the same level as the Alloway team, but many of us can come close enough. Beginning with a Stage III chassis from Pete & Jakes is a good first step, then topping it off with a quality fiberglass body goes a long way to speeding the process. This particular '32 Ford five-window coupe body is from Rats Glass and comes complete with dashboard, garnish moldings and wood and steel reinforcing for a price of $6,500, add stock-style exposed hinges and the price goes to $7,000, while the Rats Glass chopped top three-window coupe is $200 less.
Comparing the steel body to the fiberglass body is truly comparing apples to oranges, but that's precisely the point, there are two different ways to build a fun hot rod here. The Brookville all-steel reproduction Deuce three-window sells for a $24,000, stock top, open roof insert. It is a beautiful piece and their steel bodies have proven to maintain higher selling prices years later than comparable fiberglass bodies. But, like many things, some of that is a function of "money in money out." If you can afford the steel body by all means use one, they are great, but for many people the budget is just not up to the price of steel, and for those people fiberglass is the natural choice.
In this case, finding an original Deuce coupe body for $7,000 is out of the question, and steel reproduction bodies are well above our budget, so the fiberglass body and reproduction frame become the perfect solution for fulfilling that dream of owning a Deuce. Since the Pete & Jakes Stage III chassis will cost approximately $8,000 and a crate motor and new transmission will cost approximately $6,000. So, with a new body, chassis, engine, and transmission rolling around the floor the cost is around $22,000, once again, hardly low-buck, but not big buck either. Plus every piece from the Currie rearend to the Ford motor is new, ensuring maximum pleasure on trips long and short. There is still money to be spent finishing the body and interior and selecting things like radiators, steering column and wheel, wiring, A/C, gauges, seats, and upholstery, and costs can and will vary dramatically based on where you live, the quality of workmanship desired, and how much of the job you can perform yourself. If you do the body prep and painting yourself you are a long way toward saving money. As a homebuilt car with some of the work contracted out and much of it done at home, the car should be able to be completed for under $50,000, and you should have one very nice hot rod when it is over. Needless to say if you are having all work performed by skilled professionals the figure can go much higher. On the other hand, rather than buy a crate motor find a good used engine or build your own, ditto the tranny and if primer and an Indian blanket define your tastes you could build a Deuce for around $35,000 or less. Not bad, it pays to scrounge around a bit.
So back to Alloway's Hot Rod Shop where the Rat's Glass five-window coupe body has been delivered and a very nice Stage III Pete & Jakes chassis has been rolled into the shop. Bobby Alloway has long been a fan of Ford Racing motors and so a Blue Oval crate motor is sitting on a motor stand with a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox still in the crate. For the most part this car becomes a study in detailing and assembly and anyone who has ever tried to assemble a flawless car will tell you, this is much more difficult than it looks. The assembly is fairly straightforward, doing it with perfect panel fit, a flawless finish, and no chips, runs, or errors is the real challenge.
Of course for team Alloway this is just another day at the office, this is what they do on a daily basis, and actually this is the most uncomplicated project in the entire shop. Because fabrication is kept to a minimum, time is channeled into detailing every piece prior to assembly. Then to personalize the car, brackets and subtle modifications are added along the way and special attention is spent on color selection and interior design.
We made several stops at Alloway's as he assembled this brilliant blue (PPG basecoat/clearcoat in a Toyota Tundra blue) hot rod (and you thought it would be black right?). While Bobby Alloway has built his reputation by creating many one-off creations, they build basic hot rods like this too. Other than the one-off wheels Alloway commissioned Team III/ET Wheels to create, all of these pieces are available to you right now. Let's take a look at how a professional team tackles the job; hopefully it will help you to assemble your own great street rod at home.

Josh Shilling
Versatile singer/songwriter Josh Shilling boasts an impressive combination of experience and musicianship. Shilling's musical forays have been diverse and considerable, ranging from jazz and soul ensembles to Americana and contemporary country, jam-band, Bluegrass and folk projects.
A Martinsville, Virginia native, he began playing the piano at a mere 7 years old. As a child he matured into a skilled pianist and Hammond B3 player whose voracious musical study allowed him to authentically portray the style and feel needed for nearly all genres. Shilling also developed steadily as a guitarist, while honing his songwriting and natural emotional vocal ability, which has become his calling card.
As a teenager, Shilling fielded offers to tour nationally with professional bands, and at 17, he graduated high school one year early to begin his musical pursuits. He began traveling with successful regional groups and working as a session musician full-time. The deceptively junior new member stunned audiences with his soulful vocals and heartfelt performances. Subsequent gigs soon followed with nationally touring artists including Chicago's Bill Champlin, who proclaimed Shilling "has the potential to be one of the greats."
Esteemed trumpet and trombone player Mic Gillette also enlisted Shilling's services. Stints with members of group Tower of Power, along with crowd-pleasers The Embers, expanded his musical palate. His collaborations with Gillette prompted the revered musician to dub Shilling the "real deal." Continually perfecting his sound and delivery, he began to perform over 200 dates a year across the nation.
2007 found Shilling joining acclaimed Americana ensemble Mountain Heart. His robust vocals, evolving signature piano stylings and nimble guitar work enhance the group's rich acoustic sound. That same year, Shilling wrote or co-wrote all of the four new songs featured on the group's live album, The Road That Never Ends, including the project's title track, which reached the fourth slot on Billboard's Bluegrass chart.
Mountain Heart's January 2007 appearance on the Grand Ole Opry introduced Shilling to an eagerly receptive crowd; after singing one of his original songs, he earned a standing ovation and encore that evening - a rarity and intoxicating distinction for any artist on that revered stage. Since that night, Shilling has played on the Opry over 50 times, shared the stage with Lynyrd Skynyrd during their 2008 summer tour, opened for artists like The Marshall Tucker Band, The Avett Brothers, Levon Helm, and many more. He's also fronted or backed artists like The Lee Boys, Bryan White, The Traveling McCoury's, Del McCoury, legendary guitarist Tony Rice and many more.
July 31, 2012 marked the official release of Shilling's debut solo project Letting Go. After years of writing and recording for other acts, Shilling meticulously selected songs from his catalog and set out to produce and release a project of his own. Overwhelming reviews poured in as listeners and supporters downloaded and ordered the project, many of which say this in so many words:
"Before you click purchase, let me warn you; if you like your music synthesized, auto-tuned, watered down and brain-less, move along. But if you enjoy well-written lyrics and music and emotional vocal performances, buy this CD now. These are quality performances by real musicians. Just be careful where you leave this CD lest it gets stolen"
His group Mountain Heart produced and released Blue Skies in 2016, which debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard Charts. Rolling Stone reviewed the album and had this to say:
"Mountain Heart manages to straddle the line between complete reinvention and staying true to their roots — there's a palpable electric current running through "Blue Skies," while still maintaining the relaxed, festival-ready pulse they've become known for over the course of more than a decade" -Rolling Stone
Now a full-time studio musician and songwriter in Nashville, Shilling continues to perform solo, with Mountain Heart, and make guest appearances with artists who inspire him. He embraces music in its totality: His fierce immersion in one genre is enhanced by his passion for the others.
While his career already includes performances on hundreds of albums, dozens of songs recorded by artists including Diamond Rio, Lee Ann Womack, The Infamous Stringdusters, Sierra Hull and Mountain Heart, Shilling continues to tour internationally and stay creative with hopes of a new solo project in the near future.

Gold prices have reached its peak in 7 weeks!
Gold began this week with the right foot considering the previous 7 weeks. According to the Bloomberg News agency, the Fed is not going to increase interest rates in the nearest future as the U.S. data showed that only 126,000 new jobs were created during March, a figure far from the expectations of market.
In the course of the Fed session held in March were discussed interest rates. According to the Fed it is not likely that interest rates will be increased earlier than June or even September. On the upcoming Wednesday the proceedings of the US Central Bank session on 17 and 18 of March will be published. The protocol will show more details about the situation in the Fed, an opinion shared by market participants.
Also, March in USA seemed to be the worst month concerning the employment rate. The government just increased employment in 126,000 jobs. Gold price with immediate delivery were nearly 1,223.51 dollars. This is the highest level for the last one and a half month.
Consequently, gold prices are again above 1,200 dollars. Looking back, it can be observed that the influence of "bull market" has occasionally influenced gold prices. Naturally, quotations increased in 10 cases out of 15 for June. Also, owing to the unstable economy worldwide, the geopolitical situation, the demand for yellow metal in India and China, and limited world gold reserves, the increase in prices becomes quite expected.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that good times for gold have finally come. Thousands of people all around the world have already taken the advantage of the situation and have bought gold in order to preserve and multiply their funds.
These people are the clients of the online store Emgoldex. Financial independence, high and stable level of income and prosperity for themselves and their dear ones are not mere empty words for Emgoldex clients. For already 5 years they run their own gold business buying investment gold bars in the Emgoldex online store and start their business from the ground up.
Times change, but gold remains!
Share recent news about gold and the best opportunities to buy this precious metal with your friends and family!

I watched the show on Tomahawk-Merrill on this weeks Discover Wisconsin.
I thought they did a good job of talking up both towns. I do think that Tomahawk does offer enough to have a show devoted to itself though.
Merrill and Tomahawk-Northwoods Treasures
Airdates: Apr 18-19, 2009
There's more that connects the two Lincoln County neighboring communities of Merrill and Tomahawk than Highway 107 along the scenic Wisconsin River. There's a shared history of the old lumber days as seen in their historic architecture, the rustic beauty of their northwoods location and the multitude of things to see and do in all seasons. Truly, Wisconsin treasures of the Northwoods.

We heard Barack Obama promise to fix our broken immigration system and to work better with Latinos during his presidential campaign. Now that he's sworn in again, here's what Obama has laid out for his immigration overhaul plan. Mr. Pres plans to:
Enforce earned citizenship
Because he doesn't believe deporting 11 million undocumented immigrated is practical, his proposal will provide them a legal way to earn citizenship. This includes paying taxes, passing security and background checks, and learning English before they can gain citizenship. A recent CNN poll showed that 51 percent of people surveyed believed that immigrants living and working here for many years deserve citizenship.
Streamline legal immigration
In addition to his plan to reunify broken families that were separated due to deportation, Obama hopes to bring in immigrants who have strong business plans and work ethics.
He also hopes to strengthen border security and crack down on employees hiring undocumented workers.
What do you think of the president's immigration reform plans? Has this issue affected you personally?

Academic Deans
As deans, we evaluate all 250 faculty members, review student contracts, and work with other offices in many ways to support teaching and learning at the college.
We work closely with the Provost and Academic Vice President to set academic policy and work through daily concerns.
Evergreen's academic structure is unique and especially designed to model the college values in collaboration and shared governance. We are all members of the faculty and we rotate into the deans positions from teaching for fixed three or four year terms. Instead of representing academic divisions, we are each responsible for specific administrative functions within our academics as a whole and we work as a team to support faculty and students.
It is a privilege to serve as deans of Evergreen—a service we have all taken on because we believe so firmly in the values of the college. We welcome your questions and comments—in person or by email.

Romney arrives at Pittsburgh International Airport to greet supporters
Mitt Romney logged one more campaign trip to Pennsylvania on Tuesday, thanking election workers at a Green Tree call center.
The Republican presidential nominee was on the ground in Allegheny County just more than an hour. His campaign plane landed at Pittsburgh International Airport at 2:57 p.m. and returned to the runway at 4:15 p.m.
Although the call-center visit was closed to the public, hundreds of supporters cheered Romney outside the Atlantic Aviation terminal where he arrived from Cleveland. Many said they hoped for a public event but understood his tight schedule and campaign logistics.
"It's better to be out here than to watch it on television," said Rian Ryzner , 50, of Jupiter, Fla., a part-time Western Pennsylvanian. He arrived at the airport minutes before Romney landed and stayed until the nominee's departure for Boston.
"I think that they have done a tremendous job to get in front of as many people as they possibly could at a time when they probably need to," Ryzner said. He called the crowd at the airport "real individuals who wanted to make a point (of support), as late as it is."
Police ordered supporters to gather at a parking garage across the street from the Atlantic terminal, outside a security perimeter monitored by the Secret Service. By 2:30 — 25 minutes before Romney's scheduled arrival — an estimated 300 people had assembled.
When the plane rolled up, it appeared many more were on hand. They chanted, hollered and applauded as Romney emerged from the campaign plane, bearing "Believe in America" on its side.
Romney walked across the tarmac to smile and wave several times at the crowd before a motorcade carried him away. Neither his campaign nor a GOP spokesman responded to a request for comment.
"I was expecting a rally but also just the opportunity to be in proximity of the next president of the United States," said Brian Bartels, 51, of Mt. Washington. He left work early and traveled about an hour out of his way to visit the airport with his wife, Valerie Bartels, 46.
Tyler Clements, 20, said he wasn't at all disappointed.
"He has my full support. He's a busy man," said Clements, a West Virginia University student who joined two friends to travel 90 minutes to see Romney. "You didn't get to hear a speech, but you can feel the energy."
Joni Tierney, 48, of Cranberry let her two sons — Colin, 14, and Timmy, 12 — miss school to see Romney.
"I think this is historical. I want them to be part of it," said Tierney, watching the tarmac from the parking garage.
She also wanted to "feel the energy of the crowd."
For Joanne Condoluci, 62, of Tarentum, seeing Romney from a distance was "all I needed." Drawn to his honesty, she wanted her presence to be a sign of support, she said.
"I wish there would've been more" supporters at the airport, Condoluci said. "I wish there would've been thousands."

Infinity Ward, the studio behind Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, may have lost founders Jason West and Vince Zampella. Nearly 30 employees may have left in a mass exodus. Parent company Activision may be entangled in lawsuits, but that won't keep the studio down.
Infinity Ward is hiring in a big way, buying banner ads on industry-pub Gamasutra and hosting a job site for the developer with eight jobs currently listed and, I suspect, a lot more to come.
Over on the page for Careers at Infinity Ward, you're greeted with this explanation:
"Infinity Ward is scouting for top talent to continue our mission of delivering the most epic gaming experiences to fans. If you think you have what it takes to work on the world's biggest shooter franchise, send a cover letter and your resume to us along with any examples of your experience and expertise."
What does working at Infinity Ward entail? Judging by the pictures on the site, fancy-dress parties, foozeball, entire shelves of candy and lots of pointing at a camera and sticking your tongue out.
We hit up Mark Rubin, executive producer at Infinity Ward, for a more detailed, less tongue-sticky-outie explanation. Here's what he had to say:
"We're here to stay. No question we've lost some of our longtime colleagues and friends, but we still have a great team here with a ton of talent. We're excited about the future and the opportunity to add some great new people to the studio."
Dave Stohl,eec at Activision, echoed Rubin's sentiment when we spoke with him at E3 last week.
"The situation is very unfortunate, but there are still a lot of good people there," he said.
Stohl said that Infinity Ward has set the bar very high in terms of recruiting and that Activision is not worried about attracting talent to the developer.
"I think we're going to do what it takes" in terms of keeping Infinity Ward open, he said. "We want them to rebuild themselves."

Computed tomography enterography (CTE) is used to make pictures of the small intestine. The small intestines are part of your digestive system. They lie between the stomach and large intestine.
A CTE creates an x-ray picture that is enhanced by a computer. It can provide information about organs, soft tissues, bones, and blood vessels.
Reasons for Test
Reasons for Test
A CTE may be used to help find the cause of problems in the intestines such as:
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Tumors
- Abscesses, which are infected pockets
- Fistula, which is an abnormal passageway between 2 areas of the body that normally do not connect
- Obstruction in the intestine
It may also be used to diagnose or check for Crohn's disease.
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. If you are planning to have a CTE scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications.
Some people have a bad reaction to the contrast dye. The contrast is chemical that improves the details in the pictures. In some people, the contrast can cause allergic reactions or kidney problems.
A CTE scan does use radiation. You and your doctor will weigh the harms and benefits of this test. A CTE scan may not be advised if you are pregnant.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test. Let your doctor know about any allergies or unrelated illnesses you may have.
What to Expect
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Your doctor may instruct you to:
- Avoid eating or drinking anything for 4 hours before the test
- Remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, hearing aids, or dentures
Description of Test
You will be asked to drink several glasses of liquid about 1-2 hours before the test. This liquid is contrast. It will help to fill the small intestine and create clearer pictures. If you are unable to drink all the liquid, you may be given a feeding tube. You will also be given a second contrast through an IV. This will help the doctors see certain structures like blood vessels.
You will be asked to lie on a special table. The technician may use pillows or straps to make sure you are in the best position. The technician will leave the room but you will be able to talk to one another through an intercom.
The table will move slowly through the scanner. You may need to take several passes through the machine. For the clearest image, you will need to be still during the entire test. As the scanner takes pictures, you will hear humming and clicking. The technician may also ask you to hold your breath at certain points. Your doctor may offer medication if you are having trouble holding still because of pain or anxiety.
After Test
The technician will make sure the needed images are taken.
You may be asked to drink extra fluids. This will help flush the contrast from your intestines. You may have diarrhea or loose bowels while the contrast passes.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?
The test itself does not hurt. Holding one position through the test may be uncomfortable. Your doctor may offer medication if you have pain during the test.
You may also feel flushed from the contrast. Contrast can also cause nausea and a salty or metallic taste in your mouth.
The CTE images will be sent to a radiologist. Your doctor will receive the results and discuss them with you.
Call Your Doctor
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs after the test:
- Hives
- Itching
- Nausea
- Swollen, itchy eyes
- Tightness of throat
- Difficulty breathing
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
