Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is set to market a generic version of an HIV treatment, the drug maker announced Thursday.
Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston found that patients with diabetes are at higher risk of contracting tuberculosis, a deadly bacterial disease, than nondiabetics.
Several states are cutting funding to programs that provide HIV medications to people who can't afford them in an effort to reduce spending, according to a published report.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new antiretroviral treatment for HIV made by Johnson & Johnson, the agency said Friday.
A subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson is recalling several batches of an HIV drug after reports of a strange odor that may have come from the shipping pallets.
Patients with HIV who immediately started antiretroviral therapy significantly reduced the risk of spreading the virus to an uninfected partner, compared with those who delayed therapy, according to results of a multinational study. The study also found that antiretroviral therapy reduced the risk of transmission by 96%.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals' single-pill antiretroviral for HIV-1 patients, BI said Tuesday.

After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly.

Ideal for light touring
By Theja
from Boston, MA
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Novara Verita Bike - 2012:
I used this bike to do some light touring (about 200 miles) and the bike itself is very comfortable. There were a few miles of dirt roads and even on a fully loaded bike, the ride was surprisingly comfortable. For a steel bike, it is exceptionally light. There are only two chain rings in the front, so it gets a little hard on hills.

solid commuter bike
By nomad77
from Massachusetts
About Me Commuter
Generally I like the bike, the components seem good for the price, and I like the steel frame. I use it primarily for commuting - about 15-17 miles/day. The steel frame is nice, absorbs shock, but coming from more of a hybrid/touring bike, it still feels a bit rigid. I knew what I was getting with the cassette but still miss the extra gears. Other small items - the seat looked nice but was uncomfortable and I replaced it immediately and they could have tossed in good pedals for the price. A lot of this is rider specific and it takes a lot longer than a test ride or two to discover it all.
Happy with returning to biking on Verita
By clowntype
from Hillsboro, OR
I needed an entry level touring bike to get "off the mountain bike" for commuting and training. The 2012 Verita was on sale and is proving a good choice. I've only been back to serious use of biking for about 9 months now (having taken a 20+ year break). I'm expanding my biking experience into doing some tours and tri-training (beyond the commute experience). I'm finding the ride on this bike to be good and it makes it easy to increase my training. I've added commuter accessories, such as fenders and back rack.I'd become accustomed to using gloves on the MB, and found doing so on this bike can lead to a hand ache (overstretch to brakes?). The grip tape padding is not quite sufficient IMHO, and I feel way more 'road' through my hands than I prefer. I also wear the gloves for weather reasons.The braking system is very good and responsive from both positions, and does not seem to require excess pressure. And that is with gloves and without :)The one kink to the whole thing is gear shifting. Being a commuter, and still 'entry level', I need the lower gears for starts and then shift back to the higher gears for sustained momentum. It is taking a bit of adjusting to make this smoother -- and I am still not getting a consistent response particularly from low to high on chain ring. I'm concerned about long life of this area with my frequency of shifting.Overall, the bike is very good for what I need. I am training better for my tours, riding longer & faster for solid exercise, and I have a reliable commute alternative.
Excellent bike for light touring
By samcw
from Austin, Tx
Since I couldn't jog anymore, my brother in law urged me to exercise at the veloway. The bike is perfect for me. The staff at REI in Round Rock custom fit it for me. So I'm riding 18 miles three times a week on a 3.1 mile course. It is a great bike, not the lightest but it is sturdy and smooth. It feels right for me.

Horrible rims, great bike
By Timmeh
from San Jose, CA
This is my first road bike, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. I usually ride a hard tail mountain bike for both commuting and trail riding. I bought the Novara primarily for commuting. It's a 16.5 mile one way route, with a mix of street, paved trail and hard-packed dirt trail. I have about 60 miles on the bike so far and I quite like it. I don't have any problems with the saddle like some folks have said (could be that I'm only on it for about an hour at a time though). I find the geometry to be comfortable enough, though I feel like the handlebars could be out a little further. I'm 6'3" and bought an XL frame. I scooted the seat back as far as I could get it, but I still feel a little cramped. I'm not sure if this is the bike, or just me getting used to riding a road bike. The double-tap shifters are great. They're responsive and accurate. The derailleurs so far seem great -- no rubbing and no missed shifts. I have no issues with the brakes, either.The main downside with this bike is the rims, like others have already mentioned. My rims had the welding seam on both the front and back, and both would rub during braking. Additionally, on my third ride, the rear rim had a pretty much catastrophic failure. Every spoke became loose and the wheel so out of true I could no longer ride the remaining 6 miles home. I brought the bike into REI and showed them and asked for new rims and I'm happy to report that they delivered. I'm not sure what exactly they were replaced with, but it was an upgrade. I would advise anyone buying this bike to point out to the shop techs the seam in the rims and ask that they either lap it or replace the rims.

my everyday
By Kaylyn the commuter
from Seattle, WA
I bought this bike last April and decided to transition into a full commuter lifestyle. Bike to work month was a great introduction and I went from riding around my neighborhood to biking to work nearly every day (14 miles) and riding all over Seattle on the weekends. I have only driven my car twice in over a month in a half. A testament to the bike as a great "get around town" ride. I added some silver fenders, a silver back rack and a set of panniers and the bike holds its own for light touring and riding on wet streets. I did take it on a long trip this summer and it was great. I would have to agree with the observations of shaking while breaking at high speeds. The seat is terrible. I don't know why Novara would try to rip off a Brooks design and do such a poor job at it. Besides being uncomfortable, the studs are set up a little high (because of the soft seat pressing down) and as a result wore thin the bottom of three pair of jeans this summer. I had a few people try to help me fit the bike at REI but I don't think it is the right frame for me. I've taken it to several bike shops around town and they were able to give me a much better answer on frame sizing and fit. All in all, the bike is pretty and I love it. I get complements on the bike all the time. I would highly recommend it for someone who is looking to move into commuting or using it as a main means of transportation. This bike was huge in gaining me independence from my car and feeling safe enough to ride in many, many rainy days here in the PNW. I'm considering getting another one (mine was stolen) but may look at other styles or wait for the next upgrade to see if the problems in the 2011 were fixed.

Depends on what you're using it for...
By OrangeTwang
from Bucks County, PA
This bike is awesome, in so many ways, and yet a complete let down in others. The Apex components are fantastic and, given the price of the bike, were some of the features that pushed me into the purchase. So the bad... As stated in a previous review, these rims are poorly welded. This is not a fluke of the previous reviewer. Interestingly enough, I was not able to feel this weld with my finger or during a checkout ride. Since then, I've definitely noticed it. It's not such a problem for me as I enjoy building wheels and wanted a better set of hubs anyway. The headset is fully functional but that weird conical piece takes up a lot of room. It's a neat idea I suppose; the piece operates as a friction device so the fork doesn't fall out if you need to loosen the cap to move the stem around. But that could have easily been addressed with a locking spacer. Because of this, I can't really get my decaleur where I want it. So I guess I'll be changing out the headset as well. Oh, and the breezer dropouts. Ok, this is my first bike with these dropouts and they're certainly different. Might I suggest that you try taking off the rear wheel when you're in the shop and see if the bike makes you want to assault pedestrians rather than fix your flat. It's not a problem in fine weather if you're calm, but I can already tell that if I'm having a bad day, or have one of those awesome flats in the thunderstorm moments, these dropouts might add to my frustration.If you're looking for a project bike but want something rideable today, this bike is a fun one to consider. If you're looking for a top quality set of components in the stock bike, look elsewhere. All in all, I like the bike 4 stars but given the amount of changes I'll be making it's just an average 3.

Novara Verita 2011
By betweenmylegs
from Asheboro, NC
Novara Verita 2011 ~ Between my LegsI am just hitting the 400 mile mark (644 Km) and have not had a glitch yet. I'm riding in the Piedmont southeast of Asheboro and the only issue is that I have been riding for 40 years and have to get off the saddle and walk to the top of at least two grades every ride.I chose to upgrade to a Brooks B-17 saddle and it was a good choice. It will require a few thousand more miles to get it well broken in to the point that it requires some adjustment. It's simply my opinion that for the long haul the B-17 just cannot be topped.________________________________________This Verita (best definition I can find is: Italian for truth) is truly a hodgepodge of parts and geometry and it all works smoothly. I have no idea who or what committee came up with all this but they were not afraid to mix it up. It really is a touring bike in road geometry. I grew up in the age of Eddy Merckx then Greg Lemond; Columbus and Reynolds tubing in all their myriad of specifications were de rigueur so I have returned to the days of steel. Cyclist should and usually do, understand that really great bicycles can be concocted in any of the given materials; whether steel, aluminum, titanium or carbon or any combination of these materials. I've had the good fortune to ride them all and my former Specialized Roubaix stands clearly at the top; the Roubaix in its many configurations is a 5 star ride, particularly after the 30 mile mark on any given day. If I were to spend that much again I would opt for the Sram Apex drivetrain over the Shimano 105 triple simply due to the quirkiness of the triple. The Sram compact is smoother and retains better gear ratios than the triple; I spend approximately equal time between the 50 tooth chainring and the 34 tooth, the shift is always positive and the chain has yet to derail. When it does the adjustment is straightforward; but all cyclists have good reasons for their choices, sometimes it requires quite a bit of saddle time to come to clearer decision points. I may modify my opinions after the 2000 mile mark (3200 Km). ________________________________________I sold the Roubaix after the caged fusion operation on my back and it was a mistake; 15 months after the operation I was back on a bike. I actually have no real regrets the Verita fits my current needs better than the Roubaix, it may have something to do with age; it may have more to do with saddle time. The 2 to 3 hour mark suites me now but I may be out most of the day. Mileage does not really measure a ride. It does not account for wind or 8% grades, stops to take photographs or enjoy a breakfast or a lunch.________________________________________I have found it necessary to add a rear rack and trunk to toss in all the normal gear I carry; windbreaker, camera, phone, wallet, Kindle, protein bars, ham & cheese on rye, repair kit, pen & pad, etc. it has no effect on the ride quality. The Verita remains steady, quiet at any speed and efficient. No, it does not climb like a Roubaix but it's not made as a copy of a Roubaix. It, so far, has proven to be solid, comfortable, capable, and the 700 X 28 cm tires (I keep them at 90 lbs.) are the primary reason for the comfort. I really like these tires. I have had bikes go out on me on wet roads, not with these tires. The frame geometry provides for a very good climb and a secure (sometimes thrilling) descent. The brakes are more than strong enough for this 180 pound rider. I sold my long wheelbase aluminum frame touring bike to make room for the Verita and it's proven a good choice. This is a keeper for the long haul.

Broke my heart to return this bike
By yb
from San Carlos, CA
I agree with the previous reviewer (K7). I *love* this bike. The overal style, Apex components, gearing, weight, responsiveness. I have been waiting for such "light-touring" bike. Unfortunately, I found flaws with it which would cost too much to fix and still keep it at the "good deal" range for me.The cheap rims it comes with would do the job had they not been welded this badly. The welding alignment is so bad that it makes your bike shake and rattle when breaking with a slightly higher speed. In longer term, there is a good chance this will damage your break shoes and calipers. The welding edge may possibly be sanded off, but that will not re-align the rims and some vibration will likely always be there. This fact made me decide to return my bike.Another cheap thing is the headset. The image on the REI site shows a simple & stylish headset (pic attached). This baby matches very well the design of the bike. The real bike though comes with an ugly, bulky, concaved conical top instead. Parts in mine started jingling on the first averagely steep decent.Besides these two the bike is a winner. I hope the next year's model will be better equiped.

Instant classic
By K7
from Phoenix AZ
I'd give it 5 stars but very, very few bikes ever rate that highly. 4 is as good as it gets with me. It's a great bike. The purists may laugh but no one should question the value of this bike - it is an excellent value. I was comfortable on it from the very first ride - fits well, rides great, the classic ride of steel. The best part was dealing with the REI staff. Very knowledgeable, all riders. Great people.

WATCH: Israelis in flash mobs against violence
02/14/2013 16:57
Activists organize one billion women to get together and dance to end violence against women and girls.
Jane Fonda is rising in Los Angeles. Miri Shalem is rising in Israel. Kristyn Wong-tam is rising in Toronto.
They are among an estimated one billion women who will get together in flash mobs all over the world to dance and express their outrage about violence against women, an action they describe as "rising". They will wear red and black, and hold one finger high in the air to symbolize the one billion women who will be participating.
"It is in our stomping feet and uncontrollable hips that the path and the energy will be created to bring in a new world," said playwright Eve Ensler, one of the organizers. "We will galvanize the will and the passion of everyone rising around the world to create change."
Organized by V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, they have planned more than 2,000 events in more than 203 countries from the Congo to India to Gambia to Egypt to Israel. They say that one in three women will be beaten or raped during their lifetime.
That is more than one billion women in total – hence "One Billion Rising."
California regional coordinator Lindsey Horvath told The Media Line that the initiative has already received international backing.
"The Secretary General of the United Nations has signed on to support us," she told The Media Line. "The European Union Parliament did a flash mob in Brussels recently in solidarity."
In each country, women face different challenges. In Israel, women from the mostly-religious town of Beit Shemesh were being told they must sit in the back of the bus, separated from the men. One little girl, Naama Margolis, was spat on because some of her neighbors said she wasn't dressed modestly enough.
Miri Shalem, the director of a community center and member of a women's council, said she and a friend, Liat Amar, choreographed a large flash mob against this practice.
"We saw the huge impact of the dance," she told The Media Line. "We created a movement for social change."
After widespread outrage, bus drivers were told they could be sued if women were harassed on their buses and the practice has abated.
Choreographer Amar said that although Israel is a Western country with gender-equality laws, 19 women were killed last year by their partners.
"It begins with commercials on TV showing women as sex objects," she said. "The way that Israel treats women has to change."
The campaign is making extensive use of social media. There is even a free app that posts video and photos from around the world.
In Izmir, Turkey, a YouTube posted shows women in a ceramics studio leaving their pottery to rise and dance. In Lebanon, about twenty young women move their hips sensuously. They will dance in the souk, the ancient marketplace of Beirut.
Actress Jane Fonda said she personally was affected by violence against women.
"I'm rising because my mother was sexually abused when she was eight years old," she said in a YouTube post. "It damaged her life forever. She was never able to really love or not feel guilty and she killed herself when she was 42."
In Canada, city councilwoman Kristyn Wong-tam hopes thousands of women will "rise."
"Every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her domestic partner," Wong-tam said in a YouTube video. "There are 3,000 women living in shelters. Over 50-percent of Canadian women will have experienced one incident of sexual or physical violence by the time they reach sixteen. Why would you not take action?" Africa has one of the highest rates of rape in the world. Eve Ensler will "rise" in the City of Joy, a center in the Democratic Republic of Congo for survivors of gender violence. According to United Nations statistics, the country with the highest rate of rape is South Africa, with 402 incidents for every 100,000 people. The UN cautions that many rapes go unreported and even the definition of rape is not universal.
One Billion Rising is asking the participants to take a pledge to do one thing in the next year to end violence against women.
"It can be a simple action, or a monumental one," its website suggests. "It can be personal or political; it can be quiet or loud, but these actions –taken together – will create change."
Organizer Lindsey Horvath doesn't expect to get much sleep over the next 24 hours.
"This is a revolution," she said. "Global action like this takes the conversation from the margin to the mainstream."

The contrasting acting styles of Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster serve to increase the already high tension level of the WW2 drama Run Silent, Run Deep. Gable plays submarine commander "Rich" Richardson, who assumes command of the USS Nerka. Because his previous sub was sunk by the Japanese under highly suspect circumstances, Richardson inspires nothing but animosity from his new crew. Particularly hostile is executive officer Lt. Jim Bledsoe (Burt Lancaster), who'd assumed that he was next in line to...more

Then by my personal standards it would be entirely appropriate for that particular piece of paper to be used as a tipped in signature (I also have a facsimilie of the note that you linked to -- booksellers seem to like providing it as a bookmark). However, the vast majority of tipped in signatures were not intended for that purpose, and indeed the one in question doesn't appear to have been intended for that. As always, the owner is entitled to do whatever they want with it, it just isn't what I would do, and seems [to me] to be pointless to make two original things less original by sticking them together. That the market apparently values the two items glued together more highly than the two items in their original form seems like a type of madness. But each to their own. Stu

Before we get too excited, Heaven appears to run faster under Windows (Direct X) vs OS X (OpenGL):
2010 Mac Pro 6-core w/ GTX 680 Classified = 57 FPS (OS X) 2010 Mac Pro 6-core w/ GTX 680 Classified = 77 FPS (Windows) FENN's 2012 iMac 27" Core i7 3.4GHz w/ GTX 680MX = 52 FPS (Windows) |

hmm so it could be down around 32 on osx
that's pretty poor optimisation for the mac. 20fps is nothing to sneeze at |

FurMark and GiMark -- 680MX vs 680 Classified
More Windows results.
FurMark FENN's 2012 iMac 27" Core i7 3.4GHz w/ GTX 680MX = 30 FPS 2010 Mac Pro 6-core w/ GTX 680 Classified = 41 FPS GiMark FENN's 2012 iMac 27" Core i7 3.4GHz w/ GTX 680MX = =58 FPS 2010 Mac Pro 6-core w/ GTX 680 Classified = 86 FPS We can't expect the iMac's mobile GPU to match the desktop equivalent stroke for stroke. A more fair comparison is with the 2011 iMac with the Radeon HD 6970M or the Retina MacBook Pro with the GeForce GT 650M or even the Mac Pro with the Radeon HD 5870 -- which is the best blessed GPU offered by Apple currently. I'm sure the 680MX beats them all even under OS X. ---------- Some of the apps are written to run under Direct X. Then when translated to Mac OS X to run under OpenGL, something gets lost in the translation or there is failure to optimize. |

Leaves me to wonder further how much of an impact could new drivers really have? Will they even properly support it seeing how it remains Mac exclusive? Could the computer maintain a cool temp when even modern games will demand 100% use for running? So much uncertainty... |

If FENN or anyone else doesn't run Heaven, Luxmark, FurMark or GiMark on the iMac with 680MX under OS X, by Monday I should be able to do it when ours is delivered.
That will enable me to use the data we collected under OS X to give you comparisons with the 2011 iMac 3.4 with HD 6970M and other related Macs. ---------- Quote:
Also, since you have Windows running on your 2011 iMac, will you run Heaven, Luxmark, Furmark, and GiMark on it? Thanks. Last edited by barefeats; Dec 13, 2012 at 09:58 PM. Reason: addendum |

If anyone is intersted, 3DMark Vantage of 25501.
http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4452681 And yes, my 3DMark 11 runs were using the default preset. Also played around with The Witcher 2. With ultra settings (with the exception of Uber sampling) on the 680mx I didn't drop under 30 fps when using fraps and the average was hovering around 33 with a max of 39. On my 2011 using the same save, I averaged around 14 with drops below 10 and never hitting anything above 19. Unless anyone else requests anything, after I run some comparisons in OS X, I think I'll leave the rest up to the pro's. This should be enough of a picture to whet the appetite and give an idea of what kind of tech we are dealing with. I am genuinely curious to see what an official Nvidia 680MX driver and a stable OC can do to many of these numbers, but in all honesty, with the exception of The Witcher 2, my guess is that the 680mx will easily be able to play anything you throw at it on maximum settings with a very high frame rate and is a welcomed improvement in rendering performance over what else is available. Course a Mac Pro will basically always trump an iMac, but it is good to know that you can get a nice all-in-one machine that now has excellent performance across the board. |

yeh. I think the impressive thing here is that apple have finally offered a "high end" card (albeit mobile) where as before the best BTO options were relatively mid range cards.
hopefully it's a sign of things to come. although with the obvious theme of downsizing, I can't see them ever offering an actual desktop GPU and I would never expect any GPU to stay at the top of the field for a year or more. I got pretty good use out of my 2007 iMac with a Radeon 2600 256 MB, I was able to play D3 without everything on low. and that card didn't start out nearly as up in the ranks as the 680mx appears to be. so I'm sure it will be excellent for a while. and will continue to play games at a decent level for years to come |

Here's the 3DMark 11 Performance (default) preset run for the 2010 Mac Pro 6-core with GeForce GTX 680 Classified:
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5219300 To summarize, FENN's 2011 iMac 27" Core i7 3.4GHz w/ Radeon HD 6970M = 3287 score FENN's 2012 iMac 27" Core i7 3.4GHz w/ GTX 680MX = 6883 score 2010 Mac Pro 6-core with GeForce GTX 680 Classified = 9442 score (P.S.

A more meaningful comparison, as I indicated earlier, is with previous models of iMac and possibly Windows "all-in-one" PCs. ---------- Thanks, Fenn, for taking the time to run some benchmarks on your new iMac and posting them here. I plan to run more GPU tests Monday once I have my sweaty paws on the CTO we ordered. Those will include GPU intensive functions in Pro Apps like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Motion, Davinci Resolve, and World of Warcraft. |

I'm looking forward to seeing your tests of the 680MX in PSD, Premiere Pro and AE. I'll be using those programs extensively with my new 27" (which I expect to arrive next week) and am hoping to see great improvements with the Mercury Playback Engine and the Ray Trace Engine. Have fun with your tests!

Here are some OSX benchmarks from the 680MX. These numbers are very solid and essentially beat out the Windows equivalents with the exception of the transition from DX11 to OGL in the Heaven bench. Again, if people were expecting 3DMarks of 8000 with the 680mx, there appears to be a large amount of growth on both OS's for driver maturation.
Heaven (Native resolution, default settings.) FPS: 38.7 Scores: 974 Min FPS: 24.4 Max FPS: 95.9 LuxMark (Sala default, GPU only) Samples/sec 814K Rays/sec 7840K on 488.5k tris Geeks 3D GPUTest (native resolution, default options) FurMark Score: 1916 points (FPS: 31) GiMark Score: 3623 points (FPS: 60) For comparison as well, here are the numbers from the 2011 HD 6970 under Win7. As you can see, this alone shows that the OpenCL drivers in Win7 for the 680mx are very immature as even the last years iMac beats the performance of this years 680mx. Heaven (Native resolution, default settings.) FPS: 26.4 Scores: 664 Min FPS: 15.3 Max FPS: 50.9 LuxMark (Sala default, GPU only) Samples/sec 492K Rays/sec 4749K on 488.5k tris Geeks 3D GPUTest (native resolution, default options) FurMark Score: 1161 points (FPS: 19) GiMark Score: 2602 points (FPS: 43) Glad I could help folks.

However given Fenn might not have it, a free to play game might be better. I've heard of those Planetside 2 is supposed to be demanding, however demos of high demand games might be better. Though I don't know what demos might be out there given my iMac is so old it can only play UT2k4 at best. :P One game that would be really interesting however is Dayz/Arma 2. I've heard pretty much nothing but horror stories from that games performance, even when one set up does ok and another almost identical struggles at low settings. Skyrim would be another good test I bet. |

I would appreciate if someone could test the performance of Battlefield 3 with these settings: 1080p res, ultra 16xAF, and 4x MSAA. I'm very interested in comparing the framerates with notebookcheck's gaming list on the GTX 680M and making certain I'll be able to game fluidly.
Also interested in Far Cry 3 performance!

Since 1904, the name Dahlstrom® has been synonymous with the accepted standard of excellence in custom roll formed products. The designation of "Dahlstrom®" as a standard specification by leading manufacturers, architects and designers has enabled us to offer a very broad range of products in our catalog of over 1700 unique profiles. If you are unable to locate the profile or shape you require, Dahlstrom® can produce a new custom profile to your design.
Dahlstrom shapes are fabricated from a wide variety of coil metals including: cold rolled, hot rolled pickled and oiled, high strength low alloy, galvanized and galvannealed steels; stainless steel; copper; brass; bronze; aluminum; and titanium. Some shapes are available in steel only, such as welded shapes or those with tooling not developed to process a particular material.
Current capabilities allow for use of .016" to .200" for products produced from coil material and .016" to .130" for products produced from sheet material. Dahlstrom can handle roll formed shapes up to 85 feet long. Brake formed shapes can be handled up to 10 feet in length, with a few dies available up to 12 feet in length. Most shapes can be cut to specific lengths.
Many cross sectional shape dimensions can be held to .030", with tighter and/or looser tolerances depending upon customer requirements, processing capabilities and tool investment.
Depending upon the complexity and pattern, features such as holes,notches and cut-outs are either pre-punched in-line on roll formed shapes or post punched in a secondary operation.

The South Korean media almost never miss the story when a Korean, or someone of Korean descent in another country, wins an international competition. But Han Min-i didn't get much attention for winning the 2010 Miss International Queen Crown in Pattaya, Thailand, last fall. The beauty contest is for transgender/transsexual contestants, which doesn't jibe with South Korean cultural conservatism that's reinforced by its no-risk media.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, we'll tell the stories behind the headlines in business, economics, politics, culture and lifestyle.

Republicans successfully overrode Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of a fracking bill during a quick vote taken just after 11 p.m. Monday.
The override effort gained the 72 votes necessary only because a Democrat accidentally voted for it and was not allowed to change. Immediately when Rep. Becky Carney of Mecklenburg County said she'd like to change her vote, Republican Rep. Paul Stam of Wake County called for a procedural vote to prevent vote changes. Under normal circumstances vote changes are routine.
The procedural vote gained 71 votes, enough to lock in the first vote but also showing that the Republicans lacked enough votes for a veto had Carney not pressed the wrong button.

Lovely brick building with nicely
decorated interior. Loud atmosphere with limited seating. Would suggest reservation if you want a guaranteed table. Excellent service. The food was good and the menu had a variety of different interesting items. Loved the escargot. The entrees were okay with slightly overpriced seafood specials. I will definitely go again. Have heard brunch is good."

way to reserve a table of 15 for our department outing and was pleased to find WIllow's Bistro to be one of only two venues in town that would accept a reservation that size. I'd been to Willow's a few times myself, so I was happy to see that the group all thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic and well thought out menu, as well as the ambiance."
Dined on 3/4/2014
We all enjoyed our food and the
energy of the restaurant! Wait staff is helpful and friendly."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Willow's Bistro is a very small
place and it can get crowed. We were there two weeks ago without a reservation and was told the wait time will be 1.5 hours. This time we had reservation. We were seated right away. Wait staff were nice and friendly. The lighting at the table was too dark. I had to take out my iphone and used the flash on it to read the menu. Food was good and tasty, even though it took a long time to come out. Overall it was nice dinning experience for my family."

Was looking for a new place in
Winston to try out and the menu looked good. The friend I was with loves mussels and they had them on the menu. She loved the mussels and thought the sauce was awesome. I had the grouper special and cleaned the plate. The wines were great, the food was great and the waiter gave good service. We both would definitely come back!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
Food was great, it was a full
house so it was kinda loud, and a little dark at least where we sat, it was a little too dark to see the menu well."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Each meal at Willow's Bistro has
been phenomenal. The menu is creative and delicious. The servers are top notch."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Food was good, but service was
VERY slow. They need to add more staff."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Food was superb! I had the pork
loin and the Demi glaze was TDF! My uncle had the rack of ribs and portion was crazy huge! So good! Can't wait to go back!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
The noise was such that we could
barely understand our dinner guests. We will return only in the good weather so we can eat outside."
Dined on 2/20/2014
Living 40 minutes away it is worth
the drive for a special occasion. Friendly servers, dinner was awesome!"
Dined on 2/11/2014
this is one of my favorite
restaurants for both lunch and dinner. The challenge is that its small so it fills up quickly. It can also get loud because it's an open room with tables. But the food is outstanding, always healthy options available. And the service is always great"
Dined on 2/7/2014
love Willow's brunch; lots of
specials, always good"
Dined on 2/2/2014
One of my faves in W-S.
Consistently good. Small seating capacity, but quaint. Love the chef's creativity & staff's enthusiasm."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Had brunch here with my
girlfriends on a Sunday. It would have been a 30 minute wait if we didn't have a reservation. Great brunch food. I had the creative omelet of the day which was made of duck confit. Huge list of specials of the day which made it hard to choose from the specials of the menu which was also had many choices! My friends ordered the awesome breakfast burrito and a salad with enormous grilled shrimp. $3 blood Mary and Mimosas were perfect.! Our waiter was charming and promised brunch was on him if we didn't like our meals. He needn't worry, they were deliscious. Look forward to coming back for brunch or dinner with the husband soon! Charming, cozy, and worth every penny!"
Dined on 1/26/2014
Wonderful food as usual! Service
was great. Only a little disappointed that there is no beers on tap. Bottle selection was good however. Can't wait to go back."
Dined on 1/25/2014
I went there for lunch. Ended up
having an appetizer lunch that was great!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
After we found the restaurant we
were surprised to see how small it is. Seating is limited. The food selections however are beyond what you would expect from such a small place. They have everything from Alligator to Duck to Steaks to Pasta...I can't imagine you couldn't find something you like. The Ribs are awesome, they literally melt in your mouth. The outdoor seating makes up for the lack of it inside, although its winter now so that makes the outdoor seating obsolete. After a brief misunderstanding regarding our reservation, we enjoyed our dining experience very much."
Dined on 1/22/2014
I made reservations for 4 of us
not thinking about my broken foot being a "problem". After seeing where we were to be seated, we requested a different table so there would be room for me to pull up a chair as a foot rest for my castes foot. The hostess was very pleasant and moved us with no fuss. The extra chair was no big deal!"
Dined on 1/19/2014
I have been here many times and
have enjoyed it a lot - good wine, good ambience, interesting food prepared in a fresh manner. The only word for our last visit was SALT. I don't know what has happened but both my date and I could not get past the level of salt (asparagus appetizer, my entrée, her entrée) and I am not offended by salt (I love a country ham biscuit!). Don't know what happened, but it needs to be fixed to return to the excellent level the place had before. I will return to see if it was just an abnormal night."
Dined on 1/17/2014
For some reason, this restaurant
can be quite noisy. If you can past that, you will enjoy wonderful food and great service. On this visit, we got a sandwich and salad (the grilled romaine is unique and tasty). But, on previous visits, the special dishes have always been outstanding. Always get the fish and if you are a scallop lover they never disappoint!"
Dined on 1/13/2014
If you are into healthy food, this
is a great place to go....they have a different house made hummus every day. They have great salads, an awesome black bean cake, but they still have the regular stuff too, like a great hamburger, turkey sandwich, my husband had an omelette he got to design. Service is excellent."
Dined on 1/12/2014
Nice atmosphere if you like
someplace lively and somewhat intimate. Good neighborhood food with interesting daily specials. Some attention to detail is missing in the cuisine, but the staff was very friendly and accomodating."
Dined on 1/8/2014
Excellent food! Our party of five
all ordered the special for the evening (tenderloin with cognac cream) and there wasn't one speck of food left on our plates. We also had the duck liver pâté as an appetizer which was smooth and creamy and a fried goat cheese appetizer was ordered for two guests which the restaurant happily split."
Dined on 1/7/2014
This is one of my favorite spots
in Winston. The food is always delicious, innovative, and fresh. Service is normally stellar and everyone knowledgeable about the products. I bring people here all the time because it's so good. However, this was not the case during this visit. We came for "The Big Eat" and maybe it was because I ordered the BE entree that things went awry. Our server didn't know about/couldn't pronounce anything on the wine flight they were featuring. When our meals arrived they were WAY overcooked (rare came out medium-well). No one came by to check in to see if things were cooked properly, only stopped briefly to fill waters and quickly left. Maybe the learning is to not come when they're featuring price promotions."
Dined on 1/7/2014
Took a large group for business
lunch - 14 people. The food and service were both great. Wish they had a better area for large groups, but recommend for smaller gathering"

Great atmosphere and food. Very
attentive servers. Highly recommend."

We had a wonderful supper on
Christmas Eve. The service was sketchy because of the crowd, but the food was outstanding. We will be back."
Dined on 12/24/2013
The atmosphere was nice. Smaller
restaurant with good food and a great wine selection."
Dined on 12/27/2013
I've always loved the location of
this restaurant -- an old train depot. It has lots of character with exposed brick and an open kitchen. We were greeted by the hostess, and seated immediately. We lucked out with a fantastically charming waitress and half price bottles of wine! We ordered yummy homemade chips with blue cheese topping as an appetizer with turkey salad and featured fish for our entrees. We had a fantastic experience and yummy food! I highly recommend!"
Dined on 11/4/2013
I've eaten at Willow's Bistro on

Chris the waiter sets the tone.
The chef knocks it out of the park."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Wife's quiche way overcooked.
Steak Benedict not a very good dish, beef overpowered all other flavors. Food has gone downhill since last visit, not recommended."
Dined on 12/22/2013
our server, Chris, provided a top
notch experience at willows. thanks, christian"
Dined on 12/22/2013
A group of friends chose this as a
good spot for a "couples" dinner and Willow's definitely did not disappoint. It has a great bar list (martinis, specialty drinks), long list of daily specials, and cool environment. There is a good wine selection and decent choice of beers, although none on-tap. I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time as it seems to get pretty busy in the evening."
Dined on 12/21/2013
We had a party of 6. Waiter was
solid in knowledge and performance. I had lamb chops and my only complaint was I was my portion would have been larger."
Dined on 12/13/2013
How do you write a mixed review on
the Internet? My trip to Willow's was a mixed bag. On one hand, the wine list was fun, the beer selection was good, and the food was very good. On the other, the restaurant is cramped and loud, the cocktails were shoddy, and the service was inconsistent and never rose about good. Started the meal with two craft cocktails and two appetizers. The soba noodles were exceptional, while the hummus was uninspired. The drinks were similarly split personality - one came out good, the other was poured badly. Dinner was wine, which came from a diverse menu, and the hanger steak and divers' scallops. Service was spotty. Server didn't notice the untouched drink and food, and when we pointed it out didn't help."
Dined on 11/11/2013
we love going here, the food is
really great...it's organic and fresh and different. my husband loves the burger, the meat is so good. if you are looking for healthy choices, you can find lots of choices here. i had the black bean cake with avocado and sweet potato fries, OMG, delicious... there is always a house hummus that is special for that day! really good place. recommend making a reservation. they get busy quick and seating is limited."
Dined on 12/7/2013
The food here is always great. We
order specials almost every time. On this visit, the service was rushed, we got our drinks, appetizers, and food too close together so we had a bunch of food on the table getting cold."
Dined on 11/30/2013
More of a bar than a restaurant.
Food was ok - mostly bland or over salted. Sevice was great though."

Pilot Study of Edaravone to Treat Acute Myocardial Infarction
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Early reperfusion therapy has improved the clinical outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but these benefits are limited in some patients by reperfusion injuries. There is now increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species cause reperfusion injury. This study was designed to examine the effects of edaravone, a novel free radical scavenger, in patients with AMI.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Myocardial Infarction Reperfusion Injury |
Drug: edaravone |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Effects of Edaravone in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction |
- cardiac death
- nonfatal myocardial reinfarction
- refractory angina pectoris
- nonfatal ischemic stroke
Enrollment: | 104 |
Study Start Date: | April 2001 |
Study Completion Date: | June 2007 |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: 1
Edaravone Group
Drug: edaravone
intravenous administration of 30mg Edaravone just before reperfusion therapy
No Intervention: 2
Placebo Group
Detailed Description:
Initial AMI patients were randomly assigned to receive 30 mg of edaravone or a placebo intravenously just before reperfusion. We compared infarct size, using serial determination of serum biomarkers and Q wave formations, and the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia between the groups. Cardiovascular event-free curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. In addition, we determined serum thioredoxin levels, an oxidative stress marker, to assess the antioxidant effect of edaravone.
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Initial AMI patients admitted to the investigators' institution within 6 hours of symptom onset and treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Renal insufficiency defined as serum creatinine > 1.2 mg/dl and altered hepatic function defined as serum asparate aminotransferase > 50 IU/L, alanine aminotransferase > 50 IU/L and total bilirubin > 1.2 mg/dl.

At 8 we'll draft Brandan Wright and at 22 we'll draft Morris Almond.
Lets make our best guess befor the draft and lets see who comes cloest.
Hears my best guess
We trade with the 76ers and take
12PK Young
21st Ww go big with Williams out of B.C.
22nd We go international and take a combo guard and take Rudy
With no trades
Thanks Ammofan!
At 8 we'll draft Brandan Wright and at 22 we'll draft Morris Almond.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
8 Jeff Green
22 Jason Smith
Holy book of salary cap: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm
Best teams' salaries site: http://www.storytellerscontracts.inf...13salaries.htm
Pending draft trades:
trading the 8th pick.
Gasol with the 22.
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
Yi at the 8th
fernandez at the 22 (i'm just crazy on rudy though, haha)
We trade the #8 and get a veteran.
#8 Wright
#22 Cook
Eaton, Tray, Mustachio, and I called some of the draft
im gonna revise my picks.... im gonna say that the bobcats do this.
take brandon Wright at 8 then trade his rights to Golden State for Jason Richardson and the 36th pick.
then i think they will take Jared Dudley with the 22nd pick
and Jamareo davidson with the 36th pick....
i dont know why but i feel good about that prediction
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
Must you the man, Iwould have never thought you would have picked Dudley and Davidson .Lol GOOD JOB, All jokes aside what do you think about Dudley at22 . I kinda thought we should have went big. Or at least went with Gasol at 36 thoughts.
Thanks Ammofan!

Hey all, It's about time I sold my skimboard unfortunately as I could really use the cash.
As stated it's a 46" EPS Circle One Skimboard, it has the Xplosion graphics. These sell currently for between £120 and £140 in the shops.
It's an excellent skimboard and in very good condition, one slight scratch on the bottom but really nothing to worry about.
I'm looking for £70 for it, if you're interested let me know,
cheers, Pete.

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disasterby Jon Krakauer
Staff Pick My to-read list is long as it is, so I usually put off reading bestsellers until (a) the hype dies down and used copies start to become available or (b) someone chastises me for not having read something that came out forever ago. And so it was that 10 years after its release, I finally got around to reading Into Thin Air. Turns out the hype was justified. Krakauer's personal account of the deadliest season in Everest's climbing history is, hands down, one of the most riveting, harrowing, and thoughtfully written books I have read. I cannot recommend it enough. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mount Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin the perilous descent from 29,028 feet (roughly the cruising altitude of an Airbus jetliner), twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly to the top, unaware that the sky had begun to roil with clouds.
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed Outside journalist and author of the bestselling Into the Wild. Taking the reader step-by-step from Katmandu to the mountain's deadly pinnacle, Krakauer has us shaking on the edge of our seat. Beyond the terrors of this account, however, he also peers deeply into the myth of the world's tallest mountain. What is it about Everest that has compelled so many people — including himself — to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense? Written with emotional clarity and supported by unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement. Synopsis:US
About the AuthorJon Krakauer, author of three books, including the acclaimed bestseller Into the Wild, is a contributing editor of Outside Magazine. He and his wife live in Seattle.

Recipe by Sherry
"This bread has all the qualities of a quick bread plus great texture and a heavenly crust. The riper the bananas, the better the flavor. Steel-cut oats are the old-fashioned kind that are not pre-cooked, quick-cooking, or instant. You can find them in health food stores or in groceries that carry specialty type items."

1/3 cup steel cut oats
1/3 cup boiling water
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup mashed bananas
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup powdered buttermilk
1 cup quick cooking oats
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Great taste and texture. Makes fabulous french toast. I replaced the oil with 1/2 the amount of banana. In my bread machine I needed to leave out the soaking of the oats. The dough was pleanty moist without the extra water in the oats.
I don't use a bread machine, but I tried this recipe anyway. I think the bread turned out very nicely. You can taste the banana, but it's not overpowering. Also, the bread is not very sweet at all, so that differentiates it from a quick bread. It turns out soft, and I think it would have been fairly dense, but I let is rise for a long time--about two hours for each of two rises. If you are a fan of banana breads, you may want to give this a try for something different.

The recipe came out with a sunken crust and an almost undercooked texture. The flavor was odd and salty. I threw it away. I think this happened because there is too much liquid in the ingredients.
I realllly wanted success with this recipe, to bring up its 3 star rating, thinking it must be good and others must be doing something wrong or expecting more of a sweet bread. Contrar mo frair! (boy was i wrong) This was an utter dissapointment and unedible waste of ingredients!
This recipe had no taste. Good texture but a waste of my time to make.

NewsBody found in Cowichan River
Friday, May 25, 2012 - 11:46 AM The body of a man has been found in the Cowichan River. A fisherman came across the remains Thursday morning south of Spring Pool, off Hudgrove Rd. RCMP Cpl. Krista Hobday at the Lake Cowichan detachment said the body could only be seen from the water. "The body was located hung up under some branches that had come out from the shore, along the shore… in a narrow area of the river." Hobday said the body was fully clothed and seemed uninjured. The RCMP are waiting for the results of an autopsy before confirming whether it's the body of William Shearer, a 58-year-old man from Calgary who was visiting family in Lake Cowichan and believed to have fallen into the river last month. Hobday said they have spoken with his family. "We're not assuming it's Mr. Shearer, but we have notified his family in case it turns out that it is, we wouldn't want them hearing this on the news, so we did attend his residence to let them know that it may be, but a positive identification is required." It's believed that Shearer fell into the river Apr. 13. Teams looked for two days before calling off the search. Similar StoriesMost Viewed Stories More Local
