(emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) Tablets
LACTIC ACIDOSIS/SEVERE HEPATOMEGALY WITH STEATOSIS, POST TREATMENT ACUTE EXACERBATION OF HEPATITIS B, and RISK OF DRUG RESISTANCE WITH USE OF TRUVADA FOR PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PrEP) IN UNDIAGNOSED EARLY HIV-1 INFECTION
Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, including VIREAD, a component of TRUVADA, in combination with other antiretrovirals [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
TRUVADA is not approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the safety and efficacy of TRUVADA have not been established in patients coinfected with HBV and HIV-1. Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are coinfected with HBV and HIV-1 and have discontinued TRUVADA. Therefore, hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients who are infected with HBV and discontinue TRUVADA. If appropriate, initiation of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
TRUVADA used for a PrEP indication must only be prescribed to individuals confirmed to be HIV-negative immediately prior to initiating and periodically (at least every 3 months) during use. Drug-resistant HIV-1 variants have been identified with use of TRUVADA for a PrEP indication following undetected acute HIV-1 infection. Do not initiate TRUVADA for a PrEP indication if signs or symptoms of acute HIV-1 infection are present unless negative infection status is confirmed [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
TRUVADA tablets are fixed dose combination tablets containing emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. EMTRIVA is the brand name for emtricitabine, a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine. Tenofovir DF is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5'-monophosphate. Both emtricitabine and tenofovir exhibit inhibitory activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
The chemical name of emtricitabine is 5-fluoro-1-(2R,5S)-[2(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine. Emtricitabine is the (-) enantiomer of a thio analog of cytidine, which differs from other cytidine analogs in that it has a fluorine in the 5-position.
It has a molecular formula of C8H10FN3O3S and a molecular weight of 247.24. It has the following structural formula:
Emtricitabine is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a solubility of approximately 112 mg/mL in water at 25 °C. The partition coefficient (log p) for emtricitabine is -0.43 and the pKa is 2.65.
Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a fumaric acid salt of the bis-isopropoxycarbonyloxymethyl ester derivative of tenofovir. The chemical name of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is 9-[(R)-2 [[bis[[(isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy]- methoxy]phosphinyl]methoxy]propyl]adenine fumarate (1:1). It has a molecular formula of C19H30N5O10P • C4H4O4 and a molecular weight of 635.52. It has the following structural formula:
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a solubility of 13.4 mg/mL in water at 25 °C. The partition coefficient (log p) for tenofovir disoproxil is 1.25 and the pKa is 3.75. All dosages are expressed in terms of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate except where otherwise noted.
TRUVADA tablets are for oral administration. Each film-coated tablet contains 200 mg of emtricitabine and 300 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, (which is equivalent to 245 mg of tenofovir disoproxil), as active ingredients. The tablets also include the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and pregelatinized starch (gluten free). The tablets are coated with Opadry II Blue Y-30-10701, which contains FD&C Blue #2 aluminum lake, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910, lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

The Morris Lighthouse on Folly Beach is one of Charleston's more notable landmarks, and locals braved the rain for Save the Light's annual oyster roast at the colorful Bowens Island Restaurant.
Though the January weather was less than ideal, oyster lovers cheerfully donned rain slickers and got down to business. Some veteran partygoers worked as a team, one person holding the umbrella while the other shucked oysters. The Save the Light Oyster Roast is a favorite among locals, but this year also saw several enthusiastic newcomers. First time attendee and Russian native Tanya Blanche took video of partygoers working at the oyster tables, and laughed, "I've never seen this before! It's so interesting."
The huge pots of oysters steamed during the party, and fresh heaps of oysters seemed to appear on the tables out of nowhere as soon as the piles got low. Though guests laughed about the weather, the increasing rain soon drove much of the crowd indoors.
Hot dogs and chili were available inside the building for those not interested in shellfish, and the Shakin' Martinis set a cozy mood with their rockin' tunes. It was a wonderful Sunday afternoon for those who attended, a low key way to relax after the holidays while supporting the preservation of one of Charleston's beautiful historic landmarks.
Save the Light, a local non-profit organization, strives to preserve and protect the Morris Island Lighthouse from erosion and the threat of being lost to the sea. The organization purchased the lighthouse from the previous owner in 1999 and gave it to the state in 2000. Save the Light retains all responsibility for planning, engineering, fundraising, and executing all aspects of the preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse.

Vaccine safety is an important issue. While scientific evidence supports vaccine safety and effectiveness, vaccines or vaccine preservatives sometimes become hot button topics. The best way to understand vaccine safety and effectiveness is to access reliable evidence-based information. The following resources can help you in learning the facts.
Immunizations are our most powerful weapon against serious infectious diseases. Vaccines used in the United States are extremely safe, thanks to careful licensing procedures; advances in medical research; and ongoing review by doctors, researchers, and public health officials.
With more than half a million babies born every year in California, health officials here place the highest priority on the effectiveness and safety of immunizations. Here are some of the ways the Department of Public Health (CDPH) provides leadership to ensure that California children are protected and that the immunizations they receive are safe and effective.
Professional training. CDPH provides information and training for health care providers on injection techniques, vaccine handling and storage, record keeping, informing families about risks and benefits, and reporting of reactions after immunization if they occur. State and local health departments provide consultation, standards of practice guidelines, and training.
VFC Provider technical assistance letters. CDPH Immunization Branch and its Vaccines for Children (VFC) program regularly alert California physicians about vaccine updates, guidelines, educational resources, administration, and storage and handling information. Providers also receive information about reporting requirements for the National Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
Immunization registry support. CDPH promotes the California Immunization Registry (CAIR), a statewide system of regional immunization registries. California's registries help providers track immunizations by child and manufacturer's vaccine lot number. If a vaccine is recalled, registries rapidly identify which children got which vaccines.
Expert collaboration. California participates in national-level meetings dealing with vaccine safety, including Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meetings. CDPH meets regularly with vaccine experts as well as leaders of the California chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the California Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP).
Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) access. CDPH ensures that California health care providers have access to VISs in 18 different languages.
Kindergarten and school assessments. Each year, CDPH tracks school and child care exemptions from immunization requirements to determine if parent concerns are affecting immunization rates. Access that data at ShotsforSchool.org.
Contraindications to Vaccines Chart (CDC)A chart describing when it is safe to receive a vaccine and which signs to look for afterwards. General vaccine information as well as information on 11 specific vaccines, with many links; 2 pages.

Your digestive system and cancer drugs
This page has information about how cancer drugs can affect your digestive system. There is information about
Cancer drugs can have various effects on your digestive system. Some drugs can affect your appetite, or cause diarrhoea or constipation. Some of them may make you more likely to have heartburn (indigestion). These days, there are many different types of cancer drugs. Not all of them will affect your digestive system.
All drugs have side effects, but they don't all affect everyone who takes the drug. It is not possible to tell in advance who will have digestive system problems or how bad they might be. It depends on
- The drug or combination of drugs you are having
- The dose
- How you react to the drug
- How you have reacted to drug treatment in the past
There is detailed information about diet problems in the section on coping physically with cancer. There are also separate pages in this section about cancer drugs and mouth problems and cancer drugs and sickness.
You may lose your appetite for a variety of reasons when you are having cancer treatment. Sickness, taste changes or tiredness can all put you off food and drinks. There are tips on coping with loss of appetite at the bottom of this page.
Chemotherapy may cause all of the side effects mentioned above. Other drugs, such as hormone therapies or bisphosphonates can cause mild sickness that may put you off your food. Some biological therapies, such as interferon, can cause taste changes, sickness, loss of appetite, or diarrhoea or constipation.
Many drugs cause tiredness, which may mean that you can't be bothered to eat.
Changes in taste may make you go off certain foods. Many people go off tea and coffee, for example. You may also find that some foods taste different from usual. Some people find that they prefer to eat spicy food.
Some doctors and nurses advise avoiding your favourite foods when you are having chemotherapy or some biological therapies. This is because in the future you may start to associate the food with chemotherapy and go off it for good. This is probably not so important for adults, but it may be helpful advice for children having chemotherapy. There are tips on coping with taste changes in the section about diet problems and cancer.
Diarrhoea is a common side effect of some chemotherapy drugs. Some hormone therapies, bisphosphonates or biological therapies can also cause diarrhoea.
With chemotherapy, diarrhoea usually happens in the first few days after treatment. With other drugs it will usually be pretty much as soon as you start taking them. Diarrhoea from some types of chemotherapy can be quite severe.
If you have bad diarrhoea, remember that you can easily become dehydrated. It is important to drink plenty. If you can't drink enough, or you think you are losing more fluid in diarrhoea than you can replace by drinking, you must tell your doctor or nurse. They can give you tablets to take, to slow down your gut and help control diarrhoea.
You may also want to ask your nurse about soothing creams to apply around your back passage (anus). The skin in this area can get very sore and even broken if you have severe diarrhoea. There is detailed information about diarrhoea in our section about coping physically with cancer.
Painkillers are well known for causing constipation. Bisphosphonates and chemotherapy drugs can also cause it, particularly chemotherapy drugs called vinca alkaloids, which affect the nerve supply to the gut. If you are taking anti sickness drugs and painkillers along with this type of chemotherapy, it can make the constipation worse.
If you are taking any drugs that are known to cause constipation, you need to take mild laxatives from the start. If you are constipated for more than 3 days, tell your doctor or nurse. Constipation is easier to sort out if it is treated early. It may also help to drink plenty of fluids and eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as you can. If you can't manage the food, don't worry too much, but make sure that you drink plenty of fluids.
If you have any changes in your bowel habits, let your doctor or nurse know. There are medicines you can have to help with both diarrhoea and constipation. There is detailed information about constipation in the section about coping physically with cancer.
Some chemotherapy or biological therapy drugs can make you more likely to have indigestion. Some may also cause heartburn, which is a burning sensation in the lower chest caused by the back flow of food and stomach acid from the stomach into the food pipe (oesophagus).
If you have indigestion or heartburn your doctor or nurse can prescribe anti heartburn medicines and you may also need an anti sickness drug. There are tips on coping with indigestion and heartburn at the bottom of this page.
If you are worried about the effects of cancer treatment on your digestive system, you can make an appointment to see your doctor or specialist nurse to discuss any problems you have. But there are some things you can do to help yourself.
For loss of appetite
- Eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day can be easier to manage
- If you are worried about losing weight, ask your doctor to recommend high calorie drinks that you can sip between chemotherapy treatments
- There aren't any rules about what you should and shouldn't eat – just do what works for you and if you feel like it, try it
- Don't give yourself a hard time if you really don't feel like eating in the 2 or 3 days after your treatments – you can make up for lost calories in between treatments
- It is very important to drink plenty of fluids even if you can't eat
- Don't fill your stomach with a large amount of liquid before eating
- Try to eat high calorie foods to keep your weight up
For diarrhoea
- Eat less fibre (avoid raw fruits, fruit juice, cereals and vegetables)
- Drink plenty of liquid to replace the fluid lost if you have diarrhoea
For constipation
- Eat more fibre, raw fruits, cereals, fluids and vegetables
- Prune juice and hot drinks may help to make your bowels work
- You don't have to eat a special diet if you are having chemotherapy – a well balanced diet is all you need
For indigestion or heartburn
- Stop smoking
- Limit your caffeine intake – for example, reduce canned drinks, coffee, chocolate and tea
- Lose weight if you are overweight
- Raise the head of your bed when sleeping or lying down
- Don't eat for 2 or 3 hours before going to bed
- Reduce fatty foods in your diet, such as deep fried foods
- Avoid foods and drinks that may cause heartburn, such as citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits), mints and alcohol
- Take anti acid or anti sickness medicines as prescribed by your doctor or nurse and let them know if they are not helping

Library Exhibition Celebrates Hemingway Centennial
Posted December 14, 1999; 09:18 a.m.
A centennial exhibition on Ernest Hemingway , entitled "'one true sentence': Hemingway and the Art of Fiction," opens October 4th in the Main Exhibition Gallery of Firestone Library at Princeton University. The exhibition focuses on the Nobel Prize-winning author's fiction and his thoughts on the art of writing, not the hunting, fishing, bullfighting, and war reporting exploits that often claimed the headlines and contributed to making him an icon, unique in American literary history. Black-and-white enlargements of photographs from his life form the background on the gallery walls to exhibition cases that capture the full color of all of Hemingway's novels and collections of stories.

Call us skincare snobs, but we hold our products to a gold standard. Luckily, this pampering scrub meets our demands with none other than real 24-karat colloidal gold (which apparently does something to help stimulate cell turnover, but we just think it sounds cool). The result of using this luxe natural exfoliator is super-soft skin and, of course, bragging rights that even your beauty products are blingin'.
im alway down for a body scrub but this sample smelled funky to me. I figured I'd suck it up and use it anyway. I was impressed with the scrub part of it and how it moisturizes at the same time but I just could not roll with the smell. Some people liked it but it smelled like old oil to me lol3
This is an elegantly packaged scrub and I bought it based on customer reviews. I was looking for a scrub that was both invigorating and moisturizing, with an uplifting scent- well 2 out of 3 ain't bad. This scrub delivers in spades on the super scrubby moisturizing front but the smell is not so nice. I must admit that the packaging was a bit of a turn off as I like packaging that is modern & clean in appearance. Would probably make a great Mother's Day gift!4
When I bought this I was mostly looking for a body scrub, and after using this product I was disappointed. It was not the exfoliation I was hoping for, and I will not buy it again. On the positive side it does do an excellent job of moisturizing, and it has very invigorating scent.2
I ordered this one as a treat for myself before my wedding - it's got gold and champagne in it right? Unfortunately this product has the texture of a gel, and it left my bathtub kind of slick which wasn't awesome to deal with after we got back form our honeymoon. I love products with acai in them. I think it comes from the rainforest? This product did leave my skin feeling moisturized. It did smell kind of champangey sweet in a good way. This product is not particularly exfoliating, although I hold cheap Korean scrubby mitts from the Korean spa as my gold standard for exfoliating effectiveness (seriously, they are awesome, reusable and affordable) with salt scrubs coming in second. So I'm used to something that is a bit more scrubby than this. For the price, I'd maybe pick a different indulgence, like the incredibly awesome and indulgent WEI Golden Root Purifying Masks (also from Birchbox).2
I use this after swimming, skiing, and whenever skin is stressed. Wonderful smell and feel, and restores and rehydrates stressed skin, reducing acne (surprisingly) as well as dry skin. The shea butter feels oily, but produces no longterm oily skin, rather seems to reduce skin's tendency to react to dryness.5
This sugar polish was not one of my favorites. I'm not a big fan of sugar polishes to begin with but I felt like the sample size was not enough to give me a real feel for how this product would actually work. I felt like I needed more product to get a good scrub, and having so little felt kind of useless. At 35 dollars for a full jar you would need to pruchase it frequently and it's just not an investment I'm willing to make.2

Wilson School dean will return to full-time research and teaching next June
Posted October 1, 2001; 03:13 p.m.
Michael Rothschild, professor of economics and public affairs and dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs since 1995, will complete his service as dean next June to return to full-time research and teaching.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to be dean of this extraordinary school during a period of growth and innovation," Rothschild said. "I will turn 60 next August; it is time to return to research and teaching. I want again to know -- and to communicate -- the thrill of discovery. It will be a great joy to be once again a full-time teacher and scholar in this vibrant intellectual community."
President Shirley M. Tilghman said, "For more than six years, Michael Rothschild has provided strong and perceptive leadership for the Woodrow Wilson School. He reached out to the sciences, to law, to medicine and to psychology to make the school more interdisciplinary and policy-relevant while maintaining its high intellectual standards. In doing so he expanded the depth and relevance of the curriculum and helped make Princeton an attractive place to do modern, collaborative social science research. We are delighted that he will be remaining on the faculty, where students and colleagues will continue to benefit from his wide-ranging interests and his dedication to teaching."
After serving on the faculties of several universities, including Princeton from 1972 to 1976, Rothschild served for 10 years as founding dean of the division of social sciences at the University of California-San Diego, before returning to Princeton as dean of the Woodrow Wilson School.
During his tenure, the Woodrow Wilson Schools undergraduate and graduate curriculum has become more interdisciplinary. In the undergraduate program, the school played a leading role in establishing a successful study abroad program at the University. At the same time, the graduate programs have become more policy-relevant. Practitioners teach and co-teach courses, policy workshops are a required part of the curriculum, and a one-year mid-career masters in public policy makes accomplished young professionals part of the intellectual and social fabric of the school.
The schools research agenda has also become more interdisciplinary and more collaborative, reflecting the trends in modern social science research. The school has helped create institutions that nourish and stimulate teaching and research on new and enduring policy problems and issues. These include the Program in Law and Public Affairs, the Center for Health and Well-Being, the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics, the Center for Migration and Development, the Bendheim-Thoman Center for Research on Child Well-Being and the Education Research Section.
In addition, under Rothschild's guidance, the school has undergone significant additions and renovations to its facilities. Wallace Hall was dedicated in October 2000 and houses many of the school's research programs and centers, as well as the Donald Stokes Library. Major renovations to Robertson Hall are scheduled for completion in the summer of 2002.
An economic theorist, Rothschild has written on a wide range of topics, including decision-making under uncertainty, investment, taxation, finance and jury-decision processes. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Econometric Society.
A search for his successor as dean will be launched shortly, in the hope that a new dean can be in place by July 1.

I recently decided to opt out of the next generation of consoles to pursue my interactive entertainment through a dedicated gaming PC. Sony and Microsoft quickly caught wind of my intentions (no they didn't) and organized an intervention to correct my newly-planned future course of action (again, no they didn't). The following is a word-for-word transcription of that conversation.
*For simplicity's sake, Sony and Microsoft will be represented by the title "S & M" throughout this discussion. Mostly because those initials are as silly as this article.
S & M: It has come to our attention that you may purposefully pass on the upcoming machines we have yet to officially mention, that you're considering skipping the next generation altogether! Tell us this isn't true!
Me: Partially true, and not in your favor, I'm afraid. You see, picking up a dedicated gaming PC seems so much more sensible to me.
S & M: Oh. A PC.
Me: Yep.
S & M: That guy.
Me: Uh-huh.
S & M: You must have overlooked the gravity of this decision, of this mistake! Do dreaded driver updates and the constantly evolving video card market mean nothing to you? It's a desolate road of non-stop hassles and headaches. And the colossal costs alone, my goodness! Surely the balance sheets don't fit with your late-college budget?
Me: That depends on your perspective, really. Yes, a bleeding-edge technological masterpiece would undoubtedly set me back thousands of dollars I don't have, but I'm not interested in bleeding. Rather, I just need my games to run. Run well, mind you, though I can achieve that at little more than five hundred dollars.
S & M: We don't believe you.
Me: You should. I've been gaming on my years-old college laptop for the past year or two, a machine that cost less than $500 when new and was never meant to be used this intensively. Still, I managed to make titles as current as Kingdoms of Amalur and The Old Republic playable on this thing. Needless to say, I'm more than used to the occasional struggle by now. Just imagine what a proper PC could do, even in the sub-$1000 price range!
M: But anything over $500 is absurd!
S (to M, with flashbacks from 2006): Would you shut up!
Me: Right. And again, this all comes down to perspective. I admit that I'll probably be paying more up front for a PC than either of you will charge for your new consoles, but the savings are in the extras. And by extras, I mean games. Have you seen those Steam sales?
S & M (in perfect unison): We don't talk about Steam.
Me: Then I will. I have over 70 games in that digital library and didn't even need to drop $200 for the collection in total. To speak of Amalur again, for example, I grabbed a downloadable copy for five bucks over Black Friday. Five bucks! For a triple-A 2012 release with a console counterpart that currently retails at $39.99! Even your evil nemesis known as the secondhand market can't compete with those numbers. Plus, I haven't played more than 20 games from my ever-growing trove. In other words, I'll have more than 70 readily available and accessible titles for my shiny new PC on day one. Backwards compatibility at its finest. Have anything to say on that front?
S & M (spoken with venom): …Good luck with local multiplayer.
Me: As you'll see here, I don't engage in multiplayer whatsoever, let alone the local type.
S & M: A controller, then. Ever tried to WASD your way around a 3D platformer or third-person action-adventure game? Experiencing Steel Battalion with Kinect is less insufferable.
Me: Wow, I'd love to debate that comparison. Still, I agree keyboard and mouse isn't optimal for every game. Which is why I wrote up this helpful how-to guide for using a PlayStation 3 controller as a PC gamepad. Problem solved.
S & M: Dammit, but we've got exclusives you're not going to get anywhere else! You loved Uncharted and Journey, we know it! You simply cannot dispute that fact!
Me: Don't worry, I won't. You've got me there.
S & M: *high-five*
Me: Kind of. Journey and the Uncharted series supplied some of the finest times I had during this generation, but they alone cannot justify choosing consoles over PC. Compared to the past, I barely enjoyed any console exclusives this time around. I played your Resistance and Red Dead Redemption, your inFamous and LittleBigPlanet, and nothing really hooked me the same way that so many PlayStation 2 and GameCube games did. Old greats like Metal Gear and Final Fantasy have lost their way with me, and don't you dare mention Kingdom Hearts III.
*S looks awkwardly toward Japan*
Me: And video game capture. How cool is that, right?
S & M (discussing together): Can we do game capture? I think so…
Me: Yes, you can, but with external equipment — expensive external equipment — that makes your machines even more of a hassle than upgrading a PC. Can I leave now?
S & M: No! We have Achievements/Trophies!
Me: I don't care.
S& M: What about huge TVs and the comfort of cozy couches?
Me: What about Steam's Big Picture Mode?
S: … I've got PlayStation Plus!
Me: Please don't read this, for your own peace of mind.
*S & M whisper wildly*
Me: Are you finished?
S & M: …Kingdom Hearts III?
Head shaking, I remove my microphone and stroll off the stage.

Interview: Humanitarian Coordinator for the Democratic Republic of the Congo
An estimated 6.4 million people across the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are food insecure, including 2 million children who are acutely malnourished. About 2.7 million people, mostly affected by recurrent conflict in the east of the country, are internally displaced.
In November 2012, heavy fighting between government forces and the rebel group M-23 led to the displacement of about 150,000 people in the eastern province of North Kivu, which is now home to some 914,000 displaced people, the largest concentration in the country.
UN agencies and humanitarian partners have launched a Humanitarian Action Plan (HAP) for 2013, appealing for US$892 million to help millions of people affected by conflict, food insecurity and diseases such as cholera. The plan is aimed at enabling aid organizations to reach nearly 4 million people with food, water, shelter, healthcare and education.
Humanitarian Coordinator Moustapha Soumaré talks here about the humanitarian situation in DRC.
Q: What are your priorities for 2013?
All areas are seen as priorities, however we have set objectives. The first objective for us is the protection of civilians because during crises, civilians face abuses that affect their dignity as human being. Reducing death rates related to diseases is also a major objective. During the crisis in North Kivu, one of the biggest challenges was the cholera epidemic.
Q: The HAP seems to focus largely on eastern DRC. What about western and central provinces of the country?
As humanitarians, we prioritize areas where there are crises; where lives are threatened and where the situation is the most acute. So far, eastern DRC is the most critical region but that does not mean that we will abandon the other regions. Some of the western and central provinces do face acute humanitarian problems, but the difference is that these problems are not related to insecurity or forced displacements. We are addressing these problems but we are more concerned about areas facing active crisis.
Q: You took office just a few weeks before the M-23 crisis in November last year. What are your plans moving forward?
Although no one anticipated the crisis, the humanitarian community was prepared to respond to the situation right away. The level of preparedness allowed aid organizations to deliver aid, at times in very difficult situations. The constant movement of people rendered the humanitarian response difficult. Due to international and national commitment, and preparedness, we were able to help people affected by the crisis. I hope that the same commitment from the government, the donors and the greater international community will continue, and that the crisis is not going to be a forgotten crisis. We need to continue having the means to save lives and support the government.
Q: How do you assess the government's role over the past few months?
Humanitarian response in the DRC is first and foremost the government's responsibility and humanitarian actors are here to support the government. During times when the government is over-whelmed, humanitarian actors have intervened to make the difference. During the recent crisis in Goma, we received strong support from the government.
Q: What do you expect from the government?
We hope that the government will work towards strengthening the humanitarian environment, both for international and national organizations. We also look to the Government to do all it can to resolve the crisis in the east.
Q: Do you expect much support for the appeal?
People are suffering and we have to find the means to assist them. We have no reason to doubt the continued support of our donors. Last year, we received 70 per cent of the requested funding of $792 – donors know that the situation is dire.
Q: Humanitarian organizations have been providing assistance in the DRC for over a decade now. What impact has this had?
Unlike development activities, where sometimes there are visible results such as a newly built road, humanitarian action is about saving lives and sometimes it is difficult to measure that. Although it is difficult to assess the impact, we are working on how to measure our effectiveness. Saving lives and helping displaced people return home is one way we can measure the impact.
Q: What is your outlook for 2013?
We hope that the situation stabilizes, and that development actions can truly start taking hold throughout the country. We need to start looking towards rehabilitation and development across the country.

Very interesting. I asked Tom years ago if they were affiliated with Sport Dog. I really wondered when they came out with the Hawx stuff.
Explains a lot maybe. How do you guys find this stuff?

Very interesting stuff.
In 2010 Radio Systems Corporation, Innotek, Inc filed a patent infringement suit against BB. Looks like with the intro of Hawx that did it. Radio Systems Corporation, Innotek, Inc is the plaintiff in the 2013 case.

Ancient Egypt—the massive scale of the pyramids, mysterious Egyptian afterlife, and process of mummification—holds a special fascination for the modern world. OMSI's newest featured exhibit, Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science illuminates this remarkable civilization as never before, by focusing on an area that is often overlooked in comparison with the grandeur of the pyramids: the lives of the ordinary people who built them.
Discovered on the Giza Plateau, the Lost City of the Pyramid Builders helps answer questions about the people who undertook this massive engineering project. Learn how they lived, what they ate, and how they were organized. Explore how the windy Sahara Desert environment causes archaeological sites to be lost and found, and experiment with the engineering and technologies that the pyramid builders may have used to move the massive stones they used.
Meet "Annie" (short for "anonymous") an unidentified girl who died of blunt trauma to the head whose body was pulled from the Nile River and mummified. It is still a mystery why an unknown girl would get a mummified burial. Funerary artifacts illustrate the Egyptian concept of the afterlife: canopic jars that were used to hold and protect internal organs, amulets to protect the dead, and the ushabtis (figurines) that Egyptians believed would help with daily chores in the next world.
For the first time ever, you'll see a life-size rapid prototype of a mummy in a stage of "unwrapping." You'll also see animal mummies, tomb art, and facial forensic reconstructions that show what mummies (including Annie) may have looked like in life. Decode an authentic hieroglyphic message from ancient Egypt using a full-size reproduction of the Rosetta Stone and take your photo on a life-size camel replica.
Throughout Lost Egypt, you'll use science as a bridge to relate our cultural beliefs to those of the ancient Egyptians, connect past cultures to our own lives, and compare your findings to those of real-life archeologists.

5.5: Mountain Building
How do plate motions create mountains?
Plate tectonic processes create some of the world's most beautiful places. The North Cascades Mountains in Washington State are a continental volcanic arc. The mountains currently host some glaciers. There are many features left by the more abundant ice age glaciers. Changes in altitude make the range a habitable place for many living organisms.
Stress and Mountain Building
Many processes create mountains. Most mountains form along plate boundaries. A few mountains may form in the middle of a plate. For example, hotspot volcanoes.
Continent-Continent Convergence
Most of the world's largest mountains form as plates collide at convergent plate boundaries. Continental crust is too buoyant to get pushed down into the mantle. So when the plates smash together, the crust crumples upwards. This creates mountains. Folding and faulting in these collision zones makes the crust thicker.
The world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas, is growing as India collides with Eurasia. About 80 million years ago, India was separated from Eurasia by an ocean (Figure below). As the plates collided, pieces of the old seafloor were forced over the Asian continent. This old seafloor is now found high in the Himalayas (Figure below).
As India rams into Eurasia, the Himalaya Mountains rise.
The Himalayas.
Oceanic Plate Subduction
Volcanic mountain ranges form when oceanic crust subducts into the mantle at convergent plate boundaries. The Andes Mountains are a chain of coastal volcanic mountains. They are forming as the Nazca plate subducts beneath the South American plate (Figure below).
Cotopaxi is in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. The 19,300 foot tall mountain is the highest active volcano in the world.
Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries. As the ocean floor separates an enormous line of volcanoes is created.
When continental crust is pulled apart, it breaks into blocks. These blocks of crust are separated by normal faults. The blocks slide up or down. The result is alternating mountain ranges and valleys. This topography is known as basin-and-range (Figure below). The area near Death Valley, California is the center of a classic basin-and-range province (Figure below).
This diagram shows how a basin-and-range forms.
This photograph was taken from a basin with a range in the distance near Death Valley, California.
This is a very quick animation of movement of blocks in a basin-and-range setting: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/animations/animation.php?flash_title=Horst+%26amp%3B+Graben&flash_file=horstandgraben&flash_width=380&flash_height=210.
- Converging or diverging plates cause mountains to grow.
- Subduction of oceanic crust beneath a continental or oceanic plate creates a chain of volcanoes.
- Tensional forces bring about block faulting. This creates a basin-and-range valleys and mountains.

I went to a school car wash (no organization... students could not find the owner of the car in front of me so I had to back out up an incline into an "in" driveway after they'd started to wash cars next to me, thereby spotting my already-washed-and-dried car), and got gas (for $2.18 ) elsewhere.

The party was poppin' at the 4th Annual Bubbly and Brew... literally. Partygoers cracked the champagne and sipped on local brew in support of My Sister's House, the only shelter-based program serving domestic violence victims in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, at Harborside East on Friday, September 28.
The libations were flowing as a large crowd filled the sleek, contemporary space, and the crowd soon found their way out to the patio, where they enjoyed scenic views of the Ravenel Bridge and the Charleston Harbor before hitting the food stations.
The Glass Onion served up some tasty jambalaya, while Rue de Jean dished up gourmet fried green tomatoes and mac and cheese and Home Team BBQ plated up miniature pulled pork sliders and pork rinds with house made pimento cheese.
Guests then headed inside for sweet treats from Long Island Cafe, Kudzu Bakery, and High Thyme Cuisine and the lively sounds from party band Love Butter. A photo booth kept everyone entertained, and then it was time for the live auction.
My Sister's House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a 24-hour crisis line and shelter, as well as deposits on new safe apartments, children's clothing for school, legal help, counseling, and many other services.

America Movil (AMX) has been hit hard this year by issues ranging from Mexico's telecom reform to lousy investments in European phone companies. That doesn't appear to worry Carlos Slim, who needed an agreement to keep its holdings in KPN below the 30% limit that would trigger an offer for the entire company.
Reuters reports:
Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim's company, which owns 29.8 percent of KPN, was entitled to end the agreement after Spain's Telefonica bid 8.1 billion euros (6.9 billion pounds) for KPN's German mobile arm E-Plus, KPN said on Monday.
The end of the deal means America Movil is free to increase its shareholding to the level that would trigger an offer for the whole of KPN, the Netherlands' biggest telecoms operator by sales…
"We believe that the termination of the relationship agreement, in combination with widely reported rumours that AMX (America Movil) finds the sale price of E-Plus too low, could increase the likelihood of AMX preparing a bid for KPN," ING analyst Emmanuel Carlier said in a note to clients.
America Movil has dropped 1.9% to $21.20 today, while the iShares MSCI Mexico Capped Investable Market ETF (EWW) has fallen 1.4% to $66.47.

Just Blueberry Poptarts and a Pepsi for me today.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
today i had an oaty, ricey, wheaty cereal bar with raisins and cranberries in it. and a thin layer of milk chocolate on one side. the chocolate on something termed as a health food seems insidiously aimed at fat women, but it was tasty anyway. I had salad stuff sammies for dinner.
At work this week, there were some special lunches for the "Day of the Teacher" recognition week. So, Monday was tacos, rice, beans, enchiladas, chips & salsa for Cinco De Mayo (Spanish for "don't need to pack a lunch today" I think ), while Tuesday had chicken wings, potato salad, mini pizza-type pockets, bread twists. Nice...
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I had leftover spaghetti from the night before. I also had spaghetti for breakfast before I left for class this morning. Yes, I am lazy.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
Today I'm suffering what appears to be an unearned hangover, so my lunch will likely be nothing due to the nausea.

Going to a local water awareness environmental fair, and plan to grub on their free food! Don't know what it is, but it's supposed to be free. Ergo, I expect:

- loaded baked potatoes
- rice pilaf
- sourdough bread bowls of cheese potato soup
- Caesar salad
What? Too much?

In September 2011, Indiana Historical Bureau staff presented an outreach program to the inaugural class at Oakland High School. The three interactive sessions were meant to teach the importance of trustworthy sources in research and give students a chance to practice history. These lesson plans were prepared to allow Indiana teachers to recreate the sessions in their classrooms.
The lessons are stand-alone units, with each focusing on a different Indiana History topic and addressing the Core Literacy Standards in a different way. Each lesson has a multimedia component, an evidence packet of relevant primary and secondary sources, and a teacher guide with all necessary handouts and worksheets.
The Arts as History Students examine journalism, and letters to answer questions about what's happening in Indiana artist George Winter's sketches of the Potawatomi emigration from Indiana to Kansas. Downloads:

Some of the tweaks coming out lately are pretty pointless, especially this one.
So we are calling themes "tweaks" now? Isn't that exactly what this is? Unless of course this is like "hard coded" into the OS or something, like how the Mac startup sound is actually "hard coded" into the motherboard; somehow I doubt it though.

My best ever holiday was when I went to Canada in 2009. I travelled to the West coast and explored Vancouver, Jasper, Lake Louise and the Ice Fields Parkway, amongst others. Travelling in late January, the country was covered in its seasonal snow and ice which made the scenery awe inspiring. At every turn, the panorama would make you stop and take another set of pictures!
Next, I'm hoping to visit Jordan. I have a keen interest in Roman history and outside of Italy itself, I have always wanted to travel to Jordan to experience the history and culture and the friendly locals. A visit to the Roman town of Jerash, the crusader castle at Kerak and the rock carved city of Petra are just some of the amazing highlights that await. I hope to make my visit in the very near future.
No matter where I travel and no matter how easy or tough the walking, I will always take my walking boots with me. Well-worn in, they are comfy and supportive, no matter what the terrain – although I'm not sure how waterproof they are nowadays

Device for Manufacturing Students was Made by Manufacturing Students
An online, game-like welding simulator helps students get a hands-on look at a career in welding. The interesting thing about this simulator is that student manufacturers helped make the device.
Realityworks, a maker of simulation technology, recently introduced its TeachWeld welding simulator. The company says, "This online, game-like product gives students a hands-on look at a career in welding while helping fill the nation's skills gap of welders." Learn more here.
I took notice when I received the press release from the company about this new product, because I had just seen part of this product being manufactured. When I visited Cardinal Manufacturing—the high school manufacturing program run as a job shop—parts for this simulator were one of the jobs the shop was working on. That means student manufacturers helped make this device for other manufacturing students.

Who Can Print 12x12's Professionally?
#1 scrapbookMama
Posted 12 January 2006 - 09:06 PM
I am new to Digital Scrapping and am presently learning all that I can before I actually start. I really like the 12x12 layout myself (as we usually have way too many pictures of an event for just an 8.5x11 size) but do not have a computer to print this size out on. My dilemma is whether to buy a printer at that size or are there businesses that can print out 12x12's for me? I noticed that Scrap Girls Design Team Member design butcher (Ann Hetzel Gunkel) gets hers done at Costco which would seem the answer to my prayers but I checked their website and didn't find anything on that size or cost. Also, when getting your pages printed at a business do you burn the layout onto a cd and bring to the printer place?
Sooo many questions and decisions to make!!!!
Thanks, Tammy
Posted 13 January 2006 - 11:03 AM
Almost any online photo processing company you find will print a 12x18" sheet - you can upload one document that size with a 12x12 AND 2 6x6" pages layed out. So, you have to cut it down yourself, but a large paper trimmer isn't that expensive.
Lots of converted paper scrappers who want the square work in 8x8 so they still have the square shape, but can print at home (or have a more standard size (8x10) for online prints).

12 x 12 on a 12 x 18 and then fill the bottom 6 inches with something. For some reason, you can't just e-mail a 12 x 12 to them. I tried that and they ended up printing it on a 12 x 18 and it was all distorted. If this doesn't help, just ask us again!

I thought the quality was fine on all three, but I've never had any printed before so I really don't have comparison basis.
I then decided to have some others printed so all I did was zip them up and send them. It's only $1.25 US per 12 x 12 page! They sent me a paypal bill and shipping added about 50 cents to each so it was still less than $2 a page. I got a note saying they were shipped yesterday so I should get them soon.

oh yes Lori do post about it! I was curious about shipping for that site as well!
Ok, here's the results...I've used SBtoShare.com twice plus that original freebie they sent. The first time I got 10 layouts done on glossy paper and second time I sent another 10 and had them do it on cardstock. I zipped them up, uploaded them to YouSendIt and they send a paypal bill within a day. Both times I recieved the lo's back, flat in a box, wrapped in plastic (good for when boxes are left in front of your door on rainy days), one sided, within a week (I am in the same state as them so mail time might be less for me). Each time I was charged $5.00 US for shipping. and $1.46 for tax. I think only those in the same state have to pay tax though, not sure. So my total bill for 10 layouts, shipping and tax was $23.96.
I love them all. On one of the cardstock ones there is a streak of some sort that runs for about two inches but it wasn't big or bad enough for me to even complain about and actually looks like a grunge effect or gradient. In fact, at first I thought I had done that myself when making it, lol.
So I'm a happy camper so far.

I've been trying to figure out where to have my LOs printed and gave up because it was going to cost a small fortune!
The only reasonable solution I had come up with was making a bound book through my publisher. They tell you the exact dimensions to make your LO if you want to utilize the full bleed and not have a white edge around your photos.
Thanks again!
Posted 06 June 2006 - 09:21 PM
Are you all who still use SBtoShare.com happy with them? Are there any others you would give a good review to? They have to be on-line places, as I live in Japan. (Ive gone to local photo shops here and they want US$30 to print one 12x12 I dont think so)

It's just like in a regular scrapbook - left page is one, right page is two. The pages are glossy acid free paper, like a coffee table book. If you email me I can help you more and show you some of the previews of the books!

To iwillfly525 - I think shipping from Australia to Japan will be a little less than from US to Japan. THey are quoting $25AUD to ship internationally. AUD is about 3/4 of USD just to do a quick currency conversion.
The site will only show 12x12 printing in an album - 40 or 60 pages (that's 20 or 30 pages doublesided). This is printed on 170gsm thick paper (that's like good coffee table book thickness). Very nice quality paper from the one album I've printed. I also asked about loose leaf printing to put into top loading album as I was concerned about my boys getting overly enthusiastic and ripping a page from the bound album. So the owner (Suzanne) is doing a batch for me, even though this service is not yet listed on the website. She's charging under $2 per page (for 20+ prints) and will print on 300gsm paper (thicker) and single-sided (easy to move pages around). Again that's Aussie $ so about $1.50USD.
Suzanne says you can just email her to inquire about the loose leaf printing on 12x12 since it's not on the site.
My Reflections is a small family-owned business that I found just last month (just when I was about to mail a CD to the States to print 12x12's there) and their response time and customer service level is just through the roof. I got my album back 8 days after mailing out...and that includes 2 days in the mail to get my CD there and 2 days in the mail for the album to come back. I've just ordered another 4 albums as gifts (discounts for multiple albums).
For those in the US, if you want to print multiple 12x12 albums as gifts, even with shipping, this may be a cheaper option as the shipping cost doesn't go up per book unless it goes past a certain weight limit. I'm getting my 4 albums shipped for the same price as one album.
Also....they print in 300dpi. Some others only in 200dpi.

Activist Mirante to speak on Burma, Dec. 11
Posted December 6, 2007; 09:05 p.m.
Activist and author Edith Mirante will present a lecture titled "Burma in Crisis: Background and Update on the Saffron Revolution" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Myanmar has been engulfed in political turmoil as the country's ruling military has detained hundreds of Buddhist monks who spearheaded pro-democracy demonstrations in a movement that some are calling the "saffron revolution," referring to the color of the monks' robes.
Mirante has been actively involved in collecting information on environmental and human rights conditions in Myanmar, formerly called Burma, since the early 1980s. She specializes in the conditions on Myanmar's northern and western frontiers and has had extensive contacts with ethnic groups from those remote areas.
Mirante also is the founder and director of Project Maje, an independent effort to distribute information about Myanmar since 1986, and she is the author of "Burmese Looking Glass: A Human Rights Adventure." She also has testified on Myanmar before the U.S. Congress, European Trade Commission and the International Labor Organization.
The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination are sponsoring this lecture.

Freshman Adam Zivkovic portrays Dmitry the Pretender, the challenger to the Russian throne, in the world premiere production of "Boris Godunov." Princeton scholars, students and artists have worked for months to stage Alexander Pushkin's historical play about the Russian czar. Directed by Tim Vasen, the Princeton production is inspired by a version abandoned by Russian director Vsevolod Meyerhold in the era of Stalinist censorship 70 years ago. The sold-out performances run April 12-14 in the Berlind Theatre.
Above left: Senior Andy Brown (center, in white) plays Boris Godunov, the tyrannical czar who ruled Russia from 1598 to 1605.
For the production's main dance scene, students will perform two traditional Polish pieces: a polonaise, which is a stately, procession-like dance, and a mazurka, which is a lively folk dance.
Above left: An English translation is projected on the stage as members of the University Glee Club perform a Russian chant.
The production features a colorful array of costumes for the student actors, who play multiple parts. Brown is shown here as Godunov in his ornate robe after becoming czar.
Above left: The dynamic "Godunov" set, designed by Princeton architecture students, features rows of tubing that run vertically throughout the stage, allowing the actors to pull them together or apart and even climb them. Here sophomore Sam Zetumer (center) is the crafty Prince Shuisky, who conspires against the czar Godunov.
Sophomore Lily Cowles, as the prophetic Holy Fool, accuses Godunov of being unworthy of the throne.

'Boris Godunov' premiere takes center stage
Posted April 6, 2007; 11:10 a.m.
After months of inspired collaborations between Princeton scholars, students and artists, the curtain will rise on the University's world premiere production of "Boris Godunov" Thursday through Saturday, April 12-14, at the Berlind Theatre.
The sold-out performances are the culmination of a vast creative endeavor that has spanned the entire academic year and numerous departments across the University. The effort to bring new life to Alexander Pushkin's classic play features a cast of student actors in multiple roles as well as performances by the University Glee Club, University Orchestra and student dancers -- all on a flexible, dynamic set designed by graduate students in the School of Architecture. The project also includes a Firestone Library exhibition and several academic initiatives.
Directed by Tim Vasen, a lecturer in the Program in Theater and Dance, the Princeton production is inspired by Russian director Vsevolod Meyerhold's unrealized version of Pushkin's historical play. Meyerhold, one of modern theater's most innovative and influential figures, abandoned his "Godunov" production 70 years ago in the face of Stalinist Soviet politics. The Princeton performance will feature a score by famed composer Sergei Prokofiev that was commissioned by Meyerhold but never used for a live performance of the play.
The play dramatizes Godunov's rise to power, his increasingly tyrannical reign as czar from 1598 to 1605 and the challenge to his throne by Dmitry the Pretender, who claimed to be a son of Ivan the Terrible.
The "Godunov" project is managed by Caryl Emerson, chair of the Slavic languages and literatures department, and Simon Morrison, associate professor of music. It is sponsored by the University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, along with several departments and offices across campus.
As an accompaniment to the production, scholars of Russian history, literature, theater and music will convene on campus for a series of scholarly events that are open to the public. They begin with a keynote address on "Meyerhold and His World (1929-1940)" by independent scholar Leonid Maximenkov at 4:30 p.m. April 12 in 101 McCormick Hall.
From 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. April 13, an international symposium will be held in McAlpin Auditorium, Woolworth Center of Musical Studies. Topics will include Russian modernist theater and set design, the challenge of translating a play like "Godunov" into English for a contemporary audience, and Prokofiev's incidental music for stage and film. The following day, a series of scholarly talks on topics related to Meyerhold and Prokofiev -- conducted only in Russian -- will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the Graduate Seminar Room of the Mendel Music Library, Woolworth Center.
If seats for the sold-out performances become available through last-minute cancellations, they can be purchased at the McCarter Theatre Center box office prior to show times, which are 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday with a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday.
For more information on the symposium and the "Godunov" project, visit the project website.
