Elvucitabine is a novel nucleoside analog that is being studied as a teatment for patients infected with HIV-1. This Phase II study will enroll 60 HIV-1 naive subjects to assess the efficacy and safety of elvucitabine compared to lamivudine in combination with tenofovir and efavirenz measured by changes in the patient's HIV-RNA level and CD4 cell count. The study teatment will be 12 weeks of blinded study medication followed by an additional 36 weeks of open label treatment if the patient's response to teatment meets certain endpoints. Also there will be assessment of the pharmacokinetics of elvucitabine during the study.

Detailed Description:
Sixty HIV-1-infected, clinically stable, treatment-naïve adults with no acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining events during the 3 months prior to screening will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups. Subject plasma HIV-1 RNA levels must be greater than or equal to 5000 copies/mL and CD4 cell counts must be greater than 200 cells/mL and less than 500 cells/mL at Screening. Subjects must be sensitive to elvucitabine, lamivudine, and emtricitabine as demonstrated by the absence of the M184V, M184I, and D237E mutations by TRUGENE HIV-1 Genotyping Kit. Subjects must be genotypically sensitive to efavirenz (negative for K103 or Y188L mutations) and tenofovir (negative for K65R mutation) as demonstrated by TRUGENE HIV-1 Genotyping Kit. They must have acceptable hematologic and chemistry parameters.
Subjects whose HIV-1 RNA levels have decreased at least 2 logs or to below 400 copies/mL by Week 10 may be considered eligible to enter the extension phase of up to 36 weeks of additional treatment. Subjects in the extension phase will be evaluated at Weeks 14, 16, and every 4 weeks until week 48.
Once all subjects have completed 12 weeks of treatment, and the data are available for all visits through Week 12, the database will be locked and the treatment assignments will be unblinded. Any subject who has had less than 48 weeks of treatment will be allowed to continue on the same treatment as initially assigned on an open-label basis through 48 weeks. All subjects will have 2 posttreatment follow-up visits, at 1 and 4 weeks after the end of treatment. Concentrations of elvucitabine in plasma will be measured on Day 1, at Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 24, and at Follow-up
Efficacy will be assessed by measuring plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4 counts at each study visit.
Safety evaluation will include vital signs, physical examinations, electrocardiograms, assessments of adverse events (AEs), measurement of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4 counts, determination of HIV-1 genotype at Screening, and at Weeks 12, 24, and 48 determination of HIV-1 phenotype at Visit 1 and at Weeks 12, 24, and 48 urine and serum pregnancy tests, as well as laboratory analyses that include hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 60 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |

STANDARD CHARGES LIBEL FOLLOWING PUBLICATION OF ALLEGED INSOLVENCY COMPANY IS MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN EVER (Special To The Leader) Knoxville, Tenn., Mar. 7.--Damage to the extent of $50,000 are asked in a suit filed by the Standard Life Insurance Company against Webster L. Porter, doing business as The East Tennessee News, in the circuit court of Knox County, today. The action of Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., in filing the suit which charges libel follows the publishing of a front page article in the last issue of the Knoxville publication telling of Perry's unsuccessful effort to combine the Mississippi Life Insurance Company and the Standard, resulting ina n auditing of the books of the Standard by the Georgia Insurance commissioner at which time an alleged insolvency amounting to more than $150,000 was discovered in the Standard's affairs. No declarations have been filed in the case and just what Perry claims libelious in the article is not known. Reference to the action of Perry in filing suit was made in a humorous vein by Editor Porter, of The News, at which time he stated in part: "Just what denomination of currency Mr. Perry would have the $50,000 issued for the amount he claims damages might have been encouched in his bill filed. Chicago, Ill., Mar. 7--Not since the notorious foundering of the Famous True Reformers' bank, has anything happened to create such consternation in financial circles as the reported prostration of the famous Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia. In a maze of high finance, The Standard Life, with its subsidiary organizations, long the wonder of white and black southerners, and only recently the subject of much high praise, along with its chief directing force, Heman E.Perry, was this week for the first time made the victim of pitiless and ucontrollable publicity. How did Perry come to buy the Mississippi Life. Was it in bad condition? Evidence so far collected proves that the Mississippi Life enjoyed a large cash surplus and was prosperous at the time of sale. Mr. Perry, it seems, was able to gain control thru Mrs. Cox of Indianola, Miss., who was willing to turn loose an $85,000 interest in the company. This Mrs. Cox is the same one over whom a storm of protest broke after her appointment as postmaster at Indianola by the late President Roosevelt. The direct charges are that the Standard Life Insurance Company has failed, that it bought the Mississippi Life Insurance Company at a high figure and, within a month, was forced to sell it at a greatly reduced amount, thus losing thousands in the transaction, and that it purposedly avoided selling the Mississippi company to a Negro concern, so manipulating the deal that the pride of Memphis fell into the hands of white owners, the Southern Life Insurance Company. As to these charges: It may be definitely stated that the Standard Life Insurance Company has not failed. The harshest charge that might be held against it is that it got out too far. It attempted too much for its resources. Its present action in selling the Mississippi Life is not an evidence. Its present action in selling the Mississippi Life is not an evidence of failure, but a brave effort to adequately protect its interests. The fact of the case are these: Since the Standard Life Insurance company bought the Mississippi Life, the insurance commissioner of Georgia, an old ex-confederate soldier, known generally as fair and unprejudiced, but rigid nevertheless, investigated the securities of the Standard Life along with the investigation of other insurance companies, white. He found the Standard Life $150,000 short. How? Standard Life securities are based on Negro property in and around Atlanta. The state insurance commissioner of Georgia, in computing values, credits prop erty, especially Negro property with what it would be worth at Sheriff's sale under foreclosure. Thus a parcel of land worth $3,000 in a normal business deal wocld bring not much more than half that amount under the sheriff's hammer. This is what caught the Standard Life. If its securities had been judged at their complaint. Foreclosure values made it appear that the company was operating with a large deficit. deficit. But the demand of the insurance commissioner had to be met. It was necessary to do something to reduce the required amount of securities and solidify the company financially. Therefore, the Mississippi Life was sold and at a reduced figure, because it was expedient that the Standard Life draw in its sails quickly. It stands today more substantial than ever before.

fintail Posts: 34,742Most definitely, especially highline and custom models. The 80s were 30 years ago now, and many people have some nostalgia for the era. These custom cars were very expensive and exotic when new, and are rare. I guarantee that an 80s era MB customized by AMG/Gemballa/Koenig et al would get a lot of attention there. There's even a signal red C126 500SEC with AMG trim that shows up at the local MBCA show here, always attracts people.

You could give an American muscle car of the era FITS in that barge and if you couldn't out-drag one, you could easily out-turn them and lose them on a twisty track or road.

fintail Posts: 34,742Took the old project car in today for an alignment and to have the suspension inspected. I was pretty afraid of a big bill, as the tires have worn oddly - but I got lucky, only needed a couple minor things ("damper" and "left tie rod" - both under $100). The veteran tech said the suspension was very clean and solid, and is now ready for new tires. Hope to get it those wide whitewall radials in the coming weeks.

fintail Posts: 34,742I had a steering coupling (I think) replaced many years ago - the steering had a lot of play before that. Cheap part, a bit of labor. At the same time, the car got kingpins. I guess there's not a lot more to do other than some bushings. Really looking forward to new tires, I've wanted some for years.

At least the ones on the pickup are well-worn and need replacement on those grounds (they have close to 50,000 miles on them).

texases Posts: 5,782...again. I remember his comment that restorations of 'normal' old cars return about $0.50 on each dollar spent. Just got back from visiting some friends, he had bought and restored a '41 GM pickup. Got the bug for a newer project and when he sold the '41 he got EXACTLY $0.50 on each dollar he had spent on the restoration...
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448Seems to be a facile kind of joke but I've noticed that it is a remarkably accurate formula, give or take a few percent.
My friend sold his (very very nice) 32' Chevy rod for $51,000, after a long time trying. His receipts were about $104,000. (ouch!)
But he won some shows, drove it after the show circuit was done, had fun for a few years, so it was probably cheaper than 4 years of professional therapy at two visits a week. :P
There *ARE* cars you can make money on, but you have to be very shrewd about it.
As someone once told me, in a burst of good automotive wisdom:
"The profit on a car is in the buy, not the sell".
In the case of projects, it's in the buy and in the brakes you can apply to the restoration.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448Case in point---you have to choose the right kind of car to restore. If you chose to do a full nut and bolt, professional restoration on an AMC, Studebaker, Kaiser, Frazer, postwar Packard, or a "stripper" model of the Big Three, or most 4-door sedans, or a metal station wagon, or an entry level sports car, or a pickup truck or van, you're going to take a beating.
If it's not an open car or muscle car, or exotic European, it's risky.
As for street rods, I'm not sure any street rod in history ever made a profit, aside from the "period rods" built in the 50s by famous builders, or maybe some of the famous salt flats racers.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

XXVI, No. 10 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1939 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College. 1939 PRICE 10 CENTS 6 Day Week Considered * By Council Theatre Workshop Opens, Alumnae-College Panel To be Planned VACATION SCHEDULE OPEN TO PETITION "I suppose the time has come for the bomb to drop," remarked Mrs. Manning at the last College Council meeting, December 16. "The question of Saturday morn- ing classes has been raised by the faculty." A model of the probable six-day schedule is now being drawn up by the Dean's office, while a committee is investigating systems in use at other colleges. Many of the Bryn Mawr faculty are still opposed to the idea. Miss Park stated that the pro- posal was in no way a criticism of week-ends, but was suggested only as a means to lessen the extreme pressure of what is now a four- day week with a complete cessation every Thursday. The change, if instituted, would affect mainly freshmen and sophomores, since they have the most classes, and it would be valuable in helping them to regularize their own work after the school study hall system. Other subjects discussed by the Council were: the plans for the opening of the Theatre Workshop, a joint meeting of the Alumnae and College Councils, the student mimeographing machine, and the scheduling of vacations. The Theatre Workshop is now complete. At a meeting of the di- rectors of the Workshop, on Mon- day, December 13, it was suggested Continued on Page Three Rev.

Picasso Stresses Emotion of Painting Clifford Traces Different Styles of Artist's Work' Chronologically '^Music Room, December 18.�Pi- casso believed that it was not necessary to understand his paint- ings, that one should be impressed merely by the emotion of the paint- ing, said Mr. Clifford, assistant curator of the University Museum in Philadelphia. Mr. Clifford re- peated Picasso's dictum that every- one wants to understand art, but that the attempt to do so is just as sensible as trying to understand the song of a bird. The lecture traced chronologi- cally the different styles in Picas- so's painting, of which there were some 20 in 40 years. All these styles, said Mr. Clifford, are prob- ably of equal importance, although in his discussion of the painting Demoiselle d'Avignon, he desig- nated it as one of the epoch-mak- ing canvasses of the twentieth cen- tury, one which probably more han any other of Picasso's works has helped to turn the course of modern painting. Whenever Picasso tried a thing, said Mr. Clifford, he went a little further than anyone else and usu- ally succeeded better than anyone else. But because he has so many styles he is perhaps one of the most difficult of modern painters to understand.

Assuming that each student will make an active effort, the con- ference system can be extremely valuable. The opportunity for rais- ing questions, for the expression, of i individual opinions is provided; from these ideas each student may reason out problems for herself. One of the chief difficulties in ed- ucation Miss Fairchild believes to be the fact that students often de- mand an education which they can absorb passively.

The students Reimbursement Policy, offered by the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company of Hartford, covers medical, surgical, and hospitalization expenses up to the maximum of 500 dollars in case of serious illness. In order that the student body may avail themselves of this plan, applications must be received from 50 percent of the resident students by January 25, 1940. A full de- scription of the policy, and applica- tion blanks, have been sent to all students and their families. The cost for one year is 15 dollars and includes protection during all vaca- tions as well as the summer recess. As arrangements were not com- pleted in time to offer this plan to the students at the opening of col- lege for 1939-40, the Connecticut General has now offered to accept applications for policies dated Feb- Contlnued on Page.Two * ^ CALENDAR From Dec. 20�Jan. 19 Thursday, December 21.� Christmas Parties in the halls, 6.30.

Debate Continued By Panel and Floor i Stimulus Derived From Two Methods is Compared by Students Goodhart Hall, December 19.� Members of the Curriculum Com- mittee led the panel on discussion and lecture classes as teaching methods. The committee was rep- resented by Mary Kate Wheeler, chairman; Anne Louise Axon, Marian Gill, Peggy Eppler, Vivi French and Jane Klein. Anne Louise Axon opened the meeting with a brief explanation to the professors for the seeming audacity or impudence of student discussion of teaching methods. The purpose of this panel on lec- ture and discussion classes was to clarify the ideas of the students about the methods of education, while it is realized that the faculty have far more experience of the problem. "We, as students, want," she said, "to get information about our own field, and information about others, to think clearly, to interrelate the ideas which we have formulated, and to cope with the facts we will meet later." For this reason the question of the manner Continued on Page Five Far East Situation And Effect of War Discussed by Chang The nationalistic spirit of mod- ern China crystalized by the Far Eastern conflict cannot be sup- pressed now even by the military conquests of Japan, said Professor P.

Mr. Chang outlined the background of the conflict and its relation to the present European war. j The growth of a unified indus- trial China has been slow chiefly because of her huge population and her slow-moving democratic spirit.

He clarified his opinion by the use of exrinples of lecture and discussion methods at Bryn Mawr and Prince- ton. The method of teaching art in Bryn Mawr is based on an attempt to give a clear analysis of man's culture by means of the art he has created. In order to do this a great deal of background material must be covered, including history, philosophy and literature. Art is taught mainly by the use of photo- graphs and textual material, the photographs supplying the visual education "without which people look un-understandingly at art." The literature, Mr. Sloane ex- plained, is often too short to fur- nish good analysis, or too long to be covered satisfactorily. Thus the position of the lecturer is that of one who has read widely and can select for presentation to the students those ideas which come closest to the subject of a course. Mr. Sloane outlined the confer- ence system used in Princeton, where conferences are composed of not more than seven students. The one difficulty, he pointed out, was Continued on Page Six ART CLUB EXHIBITS FRENCH PAINTINGS Common Room, December 17.� Marian Gill spoke on the revolu- tion in French painting, at the tea opening the first of five Common Room exhibitions to be presented by the Art Club together with the History of Art Department.

It still amazes her when she remembers that she was forced to approach the box on her hands and knees. The basement, she recalls with awe when prompted to a discussion of the matter, was filled with a mam- moth spider web of colored threads, red, green and blue. The threads, shoulder high and tightly inter- woven, climbed up the basenie'ht stairs and clung firmly to the door of each instructor. "I had to get down and crawl," exclaimed Mari- lyn. The worst part of the whole affair in her private opinion is that she'd volunteered to take her sister Lenore's paper over with her, and since Lenore is in Miss Linn's sec- tion, Marilyn was forced to strug- gle from one end of the basement to the other. Less ambitious, other freshmen turned away from the basement, papers in hand, refusing to enter the maze. The activity reached its height when the freshman English department arrived. The first pro- fessor to enter was trapped in a sea of multi-colored strings and had to be rescued with a pair of scissors. There was some compen- sation, however, for the vandals had left a lollypop in each office.

LONDON — Can life get any more bleak on this chilly island?
Gastropubs and restaurants across the U.K. are folding by the day, while the likes of KFC, Subway and Dominos plan to open 1,000 new fast-food outlets by next year. Divorces are on the rise: For every 10 percent fall in house prices, an extra 5 percent of couples will break up, according to a recent study at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. By next year, house prices are expected to have fallen 41 percent from their peak in 2007, pawnbrokers are doing a roaring trade and shopping has taken on a whole new meaning. Supermarkets are the new outlets for retail therapy, offering cheap thrills and comfort in the form of custard powder and frozen food for locals who are increasingly choosing to hunker down at home.
The outlook isn't good: The British economy is expected to shrink by as much as 4 percent this year, with unemployment rising to 11 percent by 2010. Forecasters are predicting no economic recovery until the second half of 2010. The newspapers here are running wild with comparisons to Seventies Britain, with its wildcat strikes, banking crises, power cuts and three-day workweeks — and the mood among the natives is subdued to say the least. The Economist recently ran an essay listing possible nicknames for London these days, settling on "Greenland-on-Thames" to sum up the capital's perilous financial state.
If there was ever a time for tourists to snag a last-minute table at Scott's, pay 12 pounds, or $17, for lunch in a Michelin-starred restaurant, ferret out a fabulous designer vintage dress or land a discounted room at the Ritz, the moment is now.
And yet, as London Fashion Week winds down, there remains a subtle optimism and quiet excitement over what might lie ahead. People in the arts, fashion and finance have already glimpsed a future of a more earnest, grounded Britain driven by grit and creativity rather than cash. According to a recent report by The Financial Times, the country that will emerge from the crisis will be a far humbler place than it was over the past 10 years, with lower house prices, a leaner financial services industry, higher borrowing costs and more manufacturing and exports.
"The great thing about London now is that the answers are all right there in front of us," said Roland Mouret, who thinks young designers especially have new opportunities at their feet. He believes they should leapfrog over the middlemen and approach their customers directly.
"It's the concept of a Camden Market for the 21st century. Don't forget that Mrs. B. [Joan Burstein, the owner of designer retailer Browns] started with a market stall, and Preen began selling its collection at Portobello [Market]," he said. "Young designers could even link together to sell their collections and get support from magazines like Grazia or Elle."
Julien Macdonald also sees new opportunities in fashion, especially at the vintage level. "I think a new 'make do and mend' subculture will evolve, where we'll be hunting for bargains, mixing vintage with new clothing — and recycling. These times will bring out experimentation and the eccentric in all of us."
Vintage store Rellik on Golborne Road is currently packed with designer clothes from the Eighties — Claude Montanas, Thierry Muglers, Azzedine Alaïas, Bob Mackies and Halstons. A spokeswoman there said the effect of the credit crunch so far is that "good stuff — and designer labels especially — is selling very, very quickly."

Kris' late ex-husband Robert Kardashian died of esophageal cancer in July 2003. Now his widow, Ellen Pierson, has released what she claims are his personal diaries — and they paint Kris as an abusive mother who hit her children.
Kris Jenner is made out to be an unemotional, angry and violent mother, in her ex-husband Robert Kardashian's alleged diaries, released by InTouch magazine. In the diary entries that span from 1989 to 1990, Robert writes about explosive fights between Kris and Kim Kardashian, who was just nine years old at the time.
Robert Kardashian's Diaries Claim Kris Jenner Beat Kim Kardashian
In an entry from Aug. 24, 1984, Robert allegedly writes: "Kris was kicking and beating [Kim] and said she was going to kill her."
But it doesn't stop there. Robert writes about an incident when Kim was doing her hair and Kris began to reportedly verbally abuse her.
"Kris screamed and yelled at Kim doing her hair," Robert writes in a journal entry from Oct. 19, 1989. "Kris Called Kim an a**hole. Her own daughter. Also hit her."
Robert's Widow Explains Why She Released The Journals
Ellen says that she dated Robert for three years and married him right before his death in 2003. She claims that in a vacation home they shared in the Southern California desert, she found Robert's journals. She tells InTouch that although they were hard to read, she wanted the world to know that Kris is not mom-of-the-year.
"Kris sent her girls out to say it wasn't true and to defend her [about the diaries]," Ellen says. "She denied it as well. They know their father's handwriting, and they know it's completely true. They lived through it. Kris was probably surprised, but she knows the truth.
HollywoodLife.com reached out to the family's reps and we're waiting to hear back.

Kris Jenner comes across to me as a real snake and b*tch. Some pics I have seen of her glaring with her mouth pursed, she looks like a real witch. I hope her talk show tanks. The majority of "fans" the skank sisters have are teens anyway, they don't watch talk shows. I believe these are Rob Kardashian Sr. real diaries. The fame whore family who loves money over anything else would be suing if they were not real. Khloe is not a Kardashian in blood, Kris Jenner is as much as a whore as her daughters, and Bruce Jenner has serious issues. Dysfunctional family to the core.
No rest for dear Dad Robert

5 "..GREAT COMIC ACTION.."sdx800 | 04/08/2011 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer Kenneth Branagh certainly surprised me this year with Thor, I wasnt aware that he could make a film that wasnt boring!! This was actually a very cool film, great story, good cast, and overall more than anything a thrill ride of great action from start to end, if your into marvel comic films then you should not miss this its one of the best in a while.
5 brilliant all round filmrosco64 | 05/10/2011 | See all rosco64's reviews (2)this is a superb film a lot better than i was expecting bought it in 3d but their is no 3d effects really until the closing credits so not worth getting 3d just buy blue ray and you will enjoy this film.its a shame that these movie companies are trying to rip people off with 3d when they dont put the effort in to use the effects that is out their. their is plenty of oppertunities in this film to use 3d effects
5 For all those wonderingwwwmagicdavecouk | 16/08/2011 | See all wwwmagicdavecouk's reviews (5)This is coming out in 4 formats, 3D Blu-Ray (You will need a compatible bluray player, 3D TV and 3D glasses to view), a 2D Blu-Ray if you haven't got all the 3D gear (yet), a DVD and finally a digital copy.For the cost this is a brilliant package as it allows you to watch the film now and still watch it should you decide to upgrade your bluray player and TV in the future (as I will next year).Oh, and it's a brilliant film, one of the best uses of 3D in the closing credits and set's up brilliant for next years Avengers movie.
4 Good film!mrees007 | 15/07/2011 | See all mrees007's reviews (32)Better than expected.... worth a purchase. This is leading up nicely to the Avengers movie coming out next year.
2 Not as good as it could be!Battlestar007 | 31/12/2011 | See all Battlestar007's reviews (10)First of all as a child i was a massive fan of Thor probably one of my favourite comic characters growing up. When i heard it was to be made into a film I was thinking brilliant cant wait. I now have decided i could have waited. I thought this has to be one (if not the) worst adaptation of a Marvel Comic to date.The storyline was awful the acting even worse I could not form any relationship with any of the characters except Hopkins and hoped that they would all be heading to Vallhalla at the end of the film. Lead actor (cant even recall his name) was very wooden, Natalie Portman was terrible and rest looked like they ere in it for the paycheck.I think the film relied too heavily of the special effects which in my opinion could not save this film. Some of the fight scenes were quite good but without the CGI this would have been a really horrific film.At the end of the film i only had one question. Is it too late for the producers to pull Thor from the upcoming Avengers movie? Im a huge fan of the Iron Man movies and think Thor in the new movie could detract from him being such a strong character.Here's hoping im wrong but.....................

EASY DOES IT: Between takes of her latest movie, "The New Clara," being filmed in Paris with director Alan Berliner, actress Cécile Cassel found the time to fly to Milan to attend the D&G show on Monday — her first time in the Italian fashion city. Good thing she snapped out of character. "I'm a real bitch in this movie — which is a mix between 'Bridget Jones' and 'Sex and the City,'" said Cassel, who is the sister of actor Vincent Cassel, and a D&G fan. "They are sexy, rock 'n' roll, young and easy to wear," said the actress, fast becoming a regular in Italy. She was at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month for the premiere of Eric Rohmer's "Les Amours D'Astrée et de Céladon."
SMOKE SIGNALS: Will cigars be handed out at in the VIP section of the Bottega Veneta show today? They just might. New father François-Henri Pinault, whose fiancée, Salma Hayek, gave birth to their daughter Friday, had a change in plans and will attend the Milan shows after all, according to a PPR spokesman.
TEAM EFFORT: Spike Lee, who took in the Giorgio Armani show Monday, is going to be getting his fill of Italy. Next month, Lee starts shooting a movie in Tuscany and Rome. Titled "Miracle at St. Anna," the wartime drama is based on a book by James McBride. "It's based on the Buffalo soldiers — the Negro soldiers — who fought in Tuscany in the Italian campaign against the Nazis and the Facists," said Lee, who shared the paparazzi flash with actor Samuel L. Jackson. Fashion may be a spectator sport, but Lee can't get enough of his favorite hometown teams — the Knicks and the Yankees. "We're going to be number one," he said of his favorite baseball club. But don't make him choose between the sports. "I don't compare them," he said. "They are two different sports and they are my two favorite teams."

A white van and a Toyota are seen on Milton Road Thursday afternoon after a crash that closed the road. One passenger was taken to Maine Medical Center by Life Flight. (John Huff/Staff photographer)
ROCHESTER — Three people were sent to the hospital after a head-on collision between a car and a van in front of Aroma Joe's today, causing Milton Road to be closed to traffic for about two hours.Two occupants of the Toyota Scion involved in the accident were transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital after sustaining injuries described as significant but non-life threatening. The driver, city resident Mallory Marcheterre, 20, and a male passenger, whose identity is not yet available, were trapped in the vehicle for some time, before the Fire Department members used an extrication tool to free them from the car."They appear to have significant injuries but I don't think it's anything life-threatening," said Fire Capt. Steve Johnson.After being taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital, the passenger of the Scion was flown by Life Flight to Maine Medical Center, police say.The driver of the white Ford van, Lewiston, Maine, resident Glen Snow, 60, was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. After being evaluated on the scene, he was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for chest pains.The accident, reported at 12:18 p.m., caused significant damage to the silver-blue Toyota Scion, which had visible blood on the driver's side door and the deployed airbags.The Scion had been traveling south on Milton Road when the accident happened. The white van was traveling north, said Police Officer John Harding.According to police, both vehicles attempted to avoid the collision. After the accident, Snow was issued a yellow line violation summons, alleging he crossed over the yellow center line on the road before the accident.Police say the collision occurred on the center line on Milton Road."I saw it happen and it was awful," said Aroma Joe's manager Ashley Patch. "It was loud. I saw the blood everywhere. That kid (the passenger of the Scion), his face was covered in blood."She said the passenger of the Toyota Scion had initially tried to exit the vehicle through the window and was unable. A customer of Aroma Joe's then told the young man to stay in the vehicle and wait for emergency personnel to arrive to the scene.Patch, who has worked at Aroma Joe's for nine years, said, "I've seen three accidents since I've worked here and this was the worst one."When the accident occurred, Mike Currier, owner of Milton Pump & Filter Shop, was at Colony Used Auto Parts across the street from Aroma Joe's. He said he came to the scene after hearing the accident."I head 'squeal, bang,'" said Currier. "So there were breaks first and then there was a big crunch."When he got on scene, Currier realized that Snow, who works at Quirk Auto Group, was involved in the accident. Currier said that Snow had been delivering plow parts and auto body parts to him for the past several years."He's a very nice guy, he's been delivering to me for quite a few years. He's very conscientious," said Currier.He said that when he arrived to the scene, Snow had been walking around, and was more concerned about the occupants of the Scion than he was about himself.As a long line of vehicles was waiting this afternoon for the road to re-open, the white van that Snow was driving was sitting in the middle of Milton Road, perpendicular to the road.Members of the police department were using measuring tape and chalk to mark the locations of the vehicles and skid marks, in order to recreate the accident as part of their investigation.Both vehicles, particularly the Scion, sustained heavy front-end damage and were towed from the scene.Anyone who saw the accident or has information about it are encouraged to call Rochester police at 330-7128.

Turks & Caicos Activities
Scuba Diving
Diving in the Turks and Caicos is a superb experience due to the combination of the crystal clear waters, excellent visibility (200ft), coral reef and abundance of marine life and is considered by many as one of the top ten Scuba diving destinations in the world; it is a must dive destination.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are surrounded by an extensive coral reef system (65 miles across and 200 miles long). Where the shallow turquoise waters of the Caicos Bank meet the outer coral reefs, the terrain drops from a depth of 45ft to 6000ft. This wall drop off is drastic and is where corals thrive and fish life flourishes.
Excellent diving can be found around most of the TCI and popular dive sites include:
Providenciales Princess Alexandra National park
Providenciales Northwest Point
West Caicos
French Cay
Pine Cay
North Caicos
Middle Caicos
Grand Turk
Salt Cay
Concierge can pre-arrange dive excursions and packages with one of the many fully qualified PADI dive masters on island who will ensure a day of underwater wonderment from the moment you step aboard their boats.
Green turtles, angelfish and parrotfish are just a few of the stunning creatures that await snorkelers only a few feet from the shore.
The White House located in the Princess Alexander National Park is a short five minute drive from the property, where snorkelers can easily spot an variety of marine life and array of coloured corals, starfish, sponges and amazing sea shells through the crystal clear waters.
The Turks & Caicos Islands offer great opportunities to fish:

There is nothing that compares to the struggle of landing a blue marlin or wahoo! Big-game fishermen know that deep sea trolling involves long periods of inaction but once hooked up to a powerful fish the scream of the reel and speed of these giants is a thrill of a lifetime and an experience you will never forget. Go trolling for half a day or a whole day for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Fish and Sailfish from November to April, and for Marlins, Yellow-fin Tuna and big Wahoo in the summer months.
Bone / Fly Fishing
There are over 90 miles of shallow lagoons and flats around Providenciales making it easy to fish a new flat every day if you wish. Our waters are excellent for this type of fishing since they are relatively unfished. If you prefer casting choose a half day, if you prefer wading choose a full day. On the flats you can hook bonefish, cudas and occasionally baby tarpons.
Bottom or Reef Fishing >>
This produces lots of bites and is a great adventure for all the family. Captains take boats to the reef, anchor and drop a fishing line! Red snappers, yellowtails, strawberry groupers and more are an easy catch. Captains will fillet your fish, and you can take it home to cook a delicious meal the same night.
Whale Watching
From late December through to April, the entire Atlantic heard of 2500 North Atlantic Humpback whales pass through the 22 mile wide channel the Columbus passage which separate the Turks from the Caicos Islands. Visitors to the Turks can watch these amazing creatures as they migrate from as far away as Iceland to breed and nurse their young in the Silver Banks off the Dominican Republic. This 8000ft deep passage also serves as major transit route for spotted eagle rays, manta rays, dolphins and turtles. During this period divers can listen to an underwater concert of the whales' songs.
Windsurfing/Waterskiing and Parasailing
There are lots of companies offering water sports in Providenciales. Concierge has brochures, flyers and numbers at their fingertips.
Sailing, Boat Trips & Sunset Cruises
Providenciales offers a wide variety of boat trips for you to experience, from private sailing excursions to a deserted island to a fun-filled sunset cruise. Hobycats and windsurfing equipment is found on Grace Bay beach. Concierge can help you arrange your own perfect experience.
Nature Tours
Kayak through the Mangroves or explore Little Water Cay to see Rock Iguanas in their natural habitat. Take a picnic to the Caves of Middle Caicos, or visit the historical plantations of Grand Turk and Salt Cay.
The Turks and Caicos is home to over 300 species of birds and flora and fauna, ecologically essential wetlands and protected marine replenishment areas as well as breeding grounds for turtles, seabirds and other creatures and in1992 the government set aside 33 specific protected areas, a list that include nature reserves, sanctuaries and historical sites totaling more than 325 square miles.
The National Parks were designed to protect the scenic environment and habitats, to preserve and conserve them for future generations as well as make them available for public recreation.

Cheerful & Fun Craft Projects for Spring
Inspired by color and flowers, these simple projects will put you in the mood for cheery spring.
Gilded Vases
Upgrade your picnic table with gilded DIY vases and votives. Use a foam brush to apply adhesive to the outside of a mason jar in small, irregular patches. When the sticky substance turns clear—in about 30 minutes— press on sheets of gold leaf. Then, rub away excess flecks with a paper towel for a lovely weathered patina. (Speedball gold-leaf kit with leaf and adhesive, $10.97; dickblick.com)
Patio Pavers
To brighten up a plain concrete patio stone ($1.61; 12" square; lowes.com), first brush away any debris. Then, mark the centers of the stone and your stencil (Modern Masters Endless Circles stencil, $31.95; royaldesignstudio.com). Position the stencil over the stone, aligning the center marks. Use masking tape to block off two flowers on both the right and bottom edges of the stencil to make the pattern symmetrical. While holding the stencil in place, dip a ½-inch-wide stencil brush into Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and pounce the brush straight up and down to apply the paint (brush, $5.75; paint, Greek Blue, $11.95 for 4 oz.; royaldesignstudio.com). When you're done, remove the stencil. That's itno sealer necessary! Repeat on additional stones to extend your path.
Hatch a Prettier Seating Plan
A carrier pigeon, clad in a vintage-postcard printcould there be a wittier way to convey your wedding's pecking order? We fell for the concept upon spying it in Clare Youngs's Book Art (Cico, $21.95). Then we simplified the process for you: Just print our placecard art onto 8½"W x 11"L card stock, cut out, and fold in half as directed. To equip each pigeon with a message, write a guest's name on a 5/16"W x 6"L strip of paper and curl the ends by wrapping them around a pencil. Then loop the strip around the bird's front leg before perching him atop a plate.
Stenciled Animal Mugs
Look no further than the nearest pasture for inspiration to dress up plain dishware. To duplicate these mugs, print and cut out the animal shapes. Use these templates for Cow, Sheep, and Pig shapes. Place each shape atop a small piece of contact paper and outline it in pencil. Cut out with a craft knife; then discard the paper inside the outline. Peel away the backing and affix the stencil to a clean, dry mug, making sure to center the image. Following the package directions, use a soft brush to fill in the outline with dishwasher-safe PermEnamel paint ($3.49 for two ounces, joann.com); let set for a few minutes. Carefully remove the contact paper, clean up any edges with a damp cotton swab, and allow the paint to cure for 10 days.
Dress Up a Plain Mirror
Bamboo Shade
Pump Up a Plain Mason Jar
Repurpose the classic Mason jar as a soap or lotion dispenser in your bathroom.
Step 1: First, measure and mark the center of the jar's lid.
Step 2: Using a 1/2" high-speed steel drill bit (about $10; local hardware store), drill a hole to fit the width of a soap dispenser pump. We used pumps from old lotion bottles.
Step 3: Fill the jar with liquid soap, screw the lid back on, and insert the pump. You may need to trim the bottom of the pump to fit your jar.
Curtain Tieback
Create A Hankie Table Runner
Make Your Own Vases
Floral foam and glass marbles aren't the only ways to hold flowers aloft. Instead, a bunch of vintage milk bottles gives this arrangementfeatured in Decorating with Flowers by Paula Prykeits structure. Simply line up nine same-size vessels in three rows of three. Then wrap gardener's twine around the grouping twice and tie the ends. Finish the blooming display by placing two to three stems in each container.
Smart idea: Separate the milk bottles and flowers afterwards to give to your guests as party favors.
Craft A Spring Sachet
To make a sachet, cut a four-inch square from a hankie. With the pattern side up, fold three corners toward the square's center. Hand-stitch the sides together. Turn the sachet inside out, press, and sew a decorative button atop the flap. Fill the pouch with dried lavender, then secure the flap with some hidden hand-sewn stitches.
Renew An Old Phone Bench
Create the perfect spot for pulling off boots and sorting letters by rescuing a relic from the rotary-dial days. To begin, pop off the cushion, remove any existing upholstery and padding, and measure the remaining seat base. Cut a piece of three-inch-thick memory foam to those dimensions. Enlarge dimensions by five inches on all four sides and cut fabric (red houndstooth, $9.99 per yard; premierprintsfabric.com) and cotton batting to this size. Next, place foam atop the seat base and wrap tightly with batting, using a staple gun to secure the batting to the base's bottom; repeat with fabric. Finally, lightly sand the wood surfaces and wipe clean with a damp rag. After priming, apply two coats of glossy white paint, allowing time to dry in between. To finish, reattach the new seat.
Dress Up a Tank Top
Patchwork Pillow
Wallpaper Tree
Any blank surface becomes an enchanted forest with this patterned mural made from wallpaper scraps.
Step 1: Using this photo for reference, sketch a basic tree trunk on the back side of a sheet of wallpaper (you may want to practice first on butcher paper). Once you have your desired shape and height, cut out.
Step 2: On the back of another piece of the same wallpaper, again using this photo as a guide, draw branches of various sizes and shapesincluding a group of three attached limbs for the treetop. Cut out the branches.
Step 3: Apply the paper trunk, then the branches, to your wall with ready-made paste.
Step 4: While the tree dries, trim remnants of other brightly patterned wallpapers into leaf shapes you'll need about 60. Paste these to the wall so they appear to be sprouting from the branches.
Striped Tablecloth
Painted lines transform humble canvas into a fancy tablecloth with French country flavor.
STEP 1: Wash and tumble dry a natural-colored canvas drop cloth—ours measured six by nine feet ($8.44; hardwareworld.com)—a few times to soften the fabric.
STEP 2: Lay the cloth flat. Run a strip of 1/4-inch grout tape down the middle of the fabric widthwise. Then run two additional pieces of tape on each side of the first, spacing them 1/4 inch apart (you'll have five strips total).
STEP 3: Squirt some red fabric paint ($1.89 for two ounces; createforless.com) onto a paper plate and dab a brush in it, off-loading any extra paint onto a paper towel. Working in short strokes, lightly brush the paint on the cloth between the taped areas to catch the grain of the canvas.
STEP 4: Continue to layer the pigment until it appears as dark as desired. Remove the tape once the paint has dried according to the package instructions.
Book Bag
Doily Vase
Tightly wrap a doily around a vase. Snip away any excess, then hand-stitch the doily securely in place to create a snug fit. A clear glass vase creates an elegant illusion, but experiment with different vases and doilies to find a combination you like.

Alligator PTFE Galvanized Cable
Alligator PTFE Galvanized Cables are thermo bonded to greatly improve performance and reduce friction. Cables are pre-stretched for precise shifting and braking. These cables are also self-lubricating, weather-proof and low-maintenance.
Due to manufacturer restrictions we can only ship this item within the U.S.
Just like the the cables from the factory. Great for my new build. I have been using these for years with great success. These reduce shifting effort and it stays smooth for a long time.
I had a little trouble routing through my SRAM XO shifter (2006), but after super gluing the end together to prevent fraying, it worked just fine. Currently using super glue instead of cable crimp caps.
Great cables, good price. Improved shifting/braking over non-coated cables.
The price is right and it has worked great for 3 years now.
If you are looking to replace your cables this is a great option. They are high quality and hardly stretch. Hardly an friction with my Jagwire housing.
Very good quality as Shimano
Alligator products work well and Price Point offers them at a great price.
The quality of the cable is great. But if you have an XL frame, (FSR 29er in my case) it may not be long enough to reach a rear cable actuated brake in the rear, 3 inches too short. Most folks won't have this issue.

This is based on a coverage of 10m² per litre of paint. Always check the coverage on the side of the tin before buying.
How to guides
How to paint your wall
You should normally paint your walls and ceilings with emulsion, acrylic or water-based eggshell. Non-drip emulsion is also available in jelly or solid form, and this is particularly good for ceilings. Never stir non-drip paint, no matter how lumpy it looks. You'll cause the gel structure to break down, and the paint will lose its non-drip quality.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

How to Find a Pittsburgh SEO Company
Finding a well-qualified SEO company in Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis or any midwest city can be a bit of work. However when you want to find an SEO expert, there are 10 things you need to look for in each firm. While it seems like a daunting task now, once you find your SEO company of choice, you can stick with them for many years and return to them for all the business you need done in the future. This means that as long as the firm is open for business, you will always have an SEO expert on hand when you need one.
The only way you can be an expert is to have years of experience under your belt. This means that you will want to find as many companies in your area with at least 3-5 years of experience as well as a large portfolio to show the work they have done and the amount of success each project has had with the SEO work they completed. When meeting with the companies that you have chosen, show them a few websites and see how long it takes them to figure out what SEO changes need to be done to help it gain more search engine traffic.
Understanding SEO Levels
There are three levels of SEO, there is technical, on-page optimization, and off-page optimization. A good SEO company will have a high level of understanding in each of these three parts. The technical level of SEO is understanding the structure of the site as well as knowledge of the ease or difficulty a search engine will have crawling and indexing your content. On-page optimization pertains to the use of keywords and HTML tags that help increase the search engine traffic. And finally off-page optimization with consists of building links. If you have a SEO company with only knowledge of one of these parts, they aren't going to have the knowledge to do their job properly.
Proven Track Record
It is easy for a company to feed you a line of fluff, but it is much more notable when they can bring you a list of previous clients as well as proof that they have honestly improved these client's sites. Most companies like Gotch SEO will provide you with a list of references that will back up their stories of their success in optimizing the search engine traffic to their client's site. They may also provide you the links to these sites so you can see for yourself the amount of work and dedication they poured into their work for it to be the success they say it is.
Savvy Marketing
One you take away the techy stuff from a website, all you will see is the SEO. This mostly contains old-school marketing techniques which outline the benefit to the customer or reader and pushing a sale. This must be done in a way that is tasteful and appeals to the people that are reading the information on the site to seal the deal. When a SEO company provides you with information about past successes and you look at the SEO content that they used, you should want to buy into whatever the website is selling for the SEO company to be worth its weight in gold.
Knowledge and Perspective
Knowledge and perspective are huge when it comes to SEO as it requires a lot of different parts. According to Gotch, the company you hire should have knowledge and understanding of today's marketing techniques as well as the culture of the people they are targeting. Since technology has advanced dramatically over the last decade or so, marketing has split into many different areas, it is good to have an SEO company that understands these things.
The final parts of a qualified SEO are simple, they need to understand the big picture, have the capability to fit into the culture of your own company, possess excellent communication skills, have a passion for execution, and possess a curiosity for knowledge. Though these last few things need no explanation, they are the final 5 things that a qualified SEO company should possess. If you can find a company that possesses all 10 of these characteristics, you shouldn't need to find another SEO company to provide you with search engine optimization.
