Oscar night is coming and there may be many dark horses in the running. Although Daniel Day Lewis was the favorite early on, Bradley Cooper is now getting lots of attention for his performance in Silver Linings Playbook, and critics are also saying that Hugh Jackman is the a strongest contender. So, what are Hugh's chances?
Hugh is a Libra, Aquarius Rising and a Gemini Moon -- a triple threat of Air energy, the stars giving him auspicious energy during the campaigning part of the Academy Awards. However, on the night of the Oscars, a majority of planets will in Pisces, and Earth and Water will be the predominant elements in the sky. The biggest issue though is that his Scorpio mid-heaven is almost in exact alignment to Scorpio in Saturn -- a major obstacle to winning recognition in his career now. Sadly, with such a heavy aspect weighing on his area of aspiration, the odds are not in his favor this time around.

Description of Research Expertise
Research InterestsHIV-1 latency.
Key words: HIV, latency, reservoirs, dendritic cells, viral pathogenesis, proviral integration, retrovirus, virology, T cell activation, resting T cells.
Description of Research
Highly active anti-retroviral therapy can clear the blood of HIV-1 virions. But, despite long-term suppression of virus, when the drugs are stopped the virus returns. Thus, reservoirs of latent, treatment-resistant HIV-1 exist in infected individuals and are a major barrier to cure. Our lab has developed an in vitro model of HIV-1 latency. We use quantitative and imaging methods to study how HIV-1 establishes latent infection in resting CD4+ T cells.
Current dogma holds that latent HIV-1 infection occurs only when T cells are activated. Our findings challenge this. Using novel quantitative assays we made three discoveries about latent HIV-1 infection in CD4+ T cells. One, HIV-1 can integrate into resting CD4+ T cells. Two, the T cells bearing integrated HIV-1 genomes do not produce new virions unless stimulated. Three after stimulation a percentage of these cells produce virus. Thus, in our system HIV-1 establishes latent infection in resting T cells in the absence of activating stimuli. We now want to determine if reservoirs form more efficiently in the presence of subtle stimuli and if reservoirs form preferentially in subsets of resting T cells that are more permissive for HIV-1 integration. We are attempting to quantify the contribution of memory and naive cells to reservoirs in vivo. Finally, we are interested to determine how reservoirs are maintained in vivo. To study this, we are first developing assays that can sensitively detect ongoing replication.
In addition, a new focus in our lab is to enhance transduction of resting CD4+ T cells with gene therapy vectors based on the HIV genome.
In summary, we have developed an in vitro model of HIV-1 latency and our studies promise to provide new insights into reservoir formation in HIV-1 infected individuals and may eventually lead to novel therapies.
Rotation Projects for 2008-2009
1. Measure the percentage of resting T cells that contain provirus (integrated viral DNA) in HIV-infected individuals in various CD4+ T cell subpopulations including memory and naïve subsets to understand the contribution of both of these cell types to reservoirs.
2. Measure total, linear and integrated HIV DNA to determine if ongoing replication occurs on HAART.
3. Quantify the frequency of multiply infected cells after single round infection of resting CD4+ T cells to determine if hypersusceptible cells exist among naive and memory cells.
4. Determine the susceptibilities of other primary WBC (dendritic cells and progenitor cells to HIV integration).

Shower problem:
My Pfister, compression shower w/diverter not in wall, but on the tub downspout.
My hot water leaked, the fixture was some worn, probably could have done a washer replacement, replaced the stem fixture complete. After I replaced the stem, I have no leaks, but no water coming from the downspout either. And the cold water that used to flow ok, now has no flow.
I have checked all of the parts, fitting looks just like old model. What happened?
Also cold water assembly is STUCK.
A lot of issues here/
For starters, on this type of valve, whenever you install or remove a stem, it should be in the intermediate position.=, i.e. not fully open, not fully closed. That may be why you have one stuck.
You should take everything apart again and look for debris...old chunks of washer, etc, which may be blocking a port

SAN FRANCISCO (4.24.2012)—Yesterday, agribusiness giant Cargill responded with misleading statements to a report recently released by Rainforest Action Network (RAN). RAN's report, Truth and Consequences: Palm Oil Plantations Push Unique Orangutan Population to Brink of Extinction, points out that Cargill has no safeguards on its global palm oil supply chain, and that without such safeguards Cargill cannot ensure it is not contributing to egregious violations like the one underway in Tripa peat forest of Indonesia.

"Occupying the food system" has emerged as a rallying cry as activists and movements across the country, from Willie Nelson to more than 60 Occupy groups are turning up the heat on "big food" in nationwide actions today. Across the US, online and offline, thousands will be protesting icons of corporate control over food such as Monsanto and Cargill, and literally occupying vacant lots and tilling long-ignored soils in a mass-scale rejuvenation of community-led food production.
Cargill said it was aware that its operations had been targeted and that appropriate precautions were being taken to prevent business disruptions. Attempts to reach Monsanto for comment were unsuccessful.
Unlike Occupy Wall Street, mainstream news outlets haven't picked up on Occupy our Food Supply. Media coverage so far has been primarily limited to activist blogs and it is unclear how much, if any, impact the groups will have.
We must Occupy Our Food Supply because corporations are destroying our seed and soil, our water and land, our climate, and biodiversity. Forty percent of the greenhouse gases that are destabilizing the climate right now come from corporate industrial agriculture. Seventy percent of water is wasted for industrial agriculture. Seventy-five percent of biodiversity has been lost due to industrial monocultures.
An alliance of Occupy groups, environmental and food justice organizations have called for a global day of action on February 27 to resist corporate control of our food system and to work towards a healthy food supply for all.
Occupy Our Food Supply is a call facilitated by Rainforest Action Network and is supported by over 60 Occupy groups and over 30 organizations including Family Farm Defenders, National Family Farms Coalition and Pesticide Action Network.
Our food is under threat. It is felt by every family farmer who has lost their land and livelihood, every parent who can't find affordable or healthy ingredients in their neighborhood, every person worried about foodborne illnesses thanks to lobbyist-weakened food safety laws, every farmworker who faces toxic pesticides in the fields as part of a day's work.
When our food is at risk we are all at risk.
A team of Indonesia's elite special mobile brigade national police unit (BRIMOB) evicted people from three settlements in the rural outpost of Batin Sembilan in Sumatra, Indonesia, in August 2011. The police fired guns to scare them off, and then deployed heavy machinery to destroy their dwellings and bulldoze them into the nearby creeks, according to a report published by a team from U.K.-based Forest Peoples Programme, U.S.-based Rainforest Action Network along with Sawitwatch in Indonesia.
SAN FRANCISCO— Organizers call today's Occupy our Food Supply day of action a resounding success. The day included more than 100 events across the globe, united an unprecedented alliance of more than 60 Occupy groups and 30 environmental, food and corporate accountability organizations, and featured prominent voices including Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva, music legend Willie Nelson, actor Woody Harrelson, authors Raj Patel, Anna Lappe, Gary Paul Nabhan, author Michael Ableman and Marion Nestle, among others.
Levi Strauss & Co has confirmed to just-style that it does not source items like paper, product packaging and hang-tags from endangered rainforests.
The confirmation comes in response to a campaign by the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), which earlier this month said Levi's revamped forest products purchasing policy showed it would not be doing business with paper and packaging supplier Asia Pulp and Paper (APP).

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A community college police officer has been ordered to house arrest after pleading not guilty to assault and intimidation charges in a dispute with a subordinate in Worcester.
The Telegram & Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/WAV1p3) a judge set $10,000 cash bail Friday for Quinsigamond Community College police Sgt. Mark Brooks after a two-day dangerousness hearing.
Prosecutor Timothy Westerman said Brooks ''snapped'' Jan. 31 when Officer Andrea Prinsen confronted him after he allegedly failed to respond to a request for backup while she was investigating a suspicious car.
Prinsen testified that Brooks, her supervisor, threw her to the ground, tried to choke her, and sprayed her with pepper spray.
Brooks' lawyer said it's a ''he said-she said'' situation that grew out of earlier friction between the two. He said Brooks has an ''impeccable'' record.

Final counts overturn tight races in Englewood Cliffs, Woodcliff Lake, Lyndhurst
Rodriguez questioned why 34 of the 106 provisional ballots cast in the Township Council race were disqualified.
"I just want to make sure that not a single voter gets disenfranchised and that every single legal vote should be counted," he said.
In Wallington, Councilman Christopher Sinisi — who had refused to concede defeat until hundreds of absentee and provisional ballots were counted — said he called Democratic challenger Krystyna Surowiec to congratulate her this week, once it became clear that she had indeed beaten him in this month's council elections.
Unofficial results from the Nov. 6 election had given Surowiec a 119-vote lead over the Republican Sinisi, but with approximately 200 mail-in and provisional ballots left uncounted, Sinisi held out hope that he might still win.
Sinisi did pick up some support, according to the official results certified by the county Wednesday, but in the end it wasn't enough — Surowiec wound up beating him by 94 votes.
"I'm not bitter. It's the way the cards rolled," said Sinisi, who has served three years on the Borough Council.

I love "place," and it saddens me that we're quickly turning America into "no-place" with our McMansions, mini-malls, and megaplexes. My books explore the beauty, texture and intricacy of "place," whether I'm traveling to a foreign country or simply enjoying my own beautiful neighborhood in Western Loudoun, Virginia. I believe that humans are being crushed by Sprawl and its accompanying blanket of sameness; we require real places to feed our souls and make us more of who we are and were meant to be.

Real estate rebounding in 2010
Published on Wed, Apr 7, 2010 by
Read More
After a tough 2009 for local home sales, things are looking up this year. In the first three months of 2010, 71 houses sold, compared with only 49 houses in the first three months of 2009.
"We've seen a 51-percent increase in activity in the first quarter of this year, compared to the first quarter of last year," said Colleen McAleer, a member of Team McAleer at Re/Max Fifth Avenue in Sequim.
McAleer compiles statistics monthly from the Olympic MLS and Clallam County tax records. She also does an analysis of the statistics on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis.
The records show that median price of a home is currently $230,000 — the same as it was for 2009 — but the number of sales has increased and the average time on the market has decreased.
Sales pick up
"We've got a lot on the market, but activity is picking up," McAleer said.
"Prices are general down to about what they were in 2004 in median home sales."
Homes that sold this year spent an average of 140 days on the market.
"It's all about pricing, staging and marketing," McAleer said.
"You've got to have your home compellingly priced and make sure it stands out from other homes on the market."
In 2009, the median sales price dropped by just more than 9 percent from 2008 in the Sequim area, defined by the Sequim School District boundaries from Gardiner to Blue Mountain Road.
From 2008-2009, the number of homes on the market dropped by more than 10 percent, McAleer said.
Currently 469 homes are on the market in the Sequim area listed through Realtors, McAleer said.
Of the 71 homes that have sold this year, 17 sold in January, 25 in February and 29 in March. Of the houses on the market now, 38 are under contract.
Slow bounce back
In the past 10 years, the lowest point for inventory was March 2004, when just 151 homes were on the market. That number increased in 2005 and again in 2006 when a lot of builders came to town and built homes quickly. In 2007 and 2008, the number of homes on the market was similar to the two prior years.
The most difficult time to sell a house in Sequim was in 2008 and the beginning of 2009, McAleer said. That was when agents saw the lowest amount of activity when looking at the number of houses on the market versus the number sold.
"The first quarter of 2009 was our worst quarter in the last 10 years for the number of homes sold," McAleer said.
"That was the absolute low for activity because there was so much for sale and so few buyers."
Low interest rates
Today, things are looking up, especially for buyers. Current interest rates are low, there are plenty of houses on the market and the federal government has extended incentives for home buyers.
"We've seen a slight improvement, but it's still going to take some time," said Al Kruebbe, president and broker at Peninsula Mortgage Company in Port Angeles and Sequim.
Kruebbe said interest rates are slightly on the rise but still about the same as they were last year at this time, at about 5 percent on a 30-year fixed mortgage.
"As the economy improves, you're going to see a slight increase in interest rates, but only slight," he said.
Kruebbe said the current tax incentives for first-time home buyers and repeat home buyers have helped sales in the area.
Still time for credit
First-time home buyers can earn a tax credit of up to $8,000 and repeat home buyers can qualify for up to a $6,500 tax credit if a contract on a home is signed by April 30. A first-time buyer is defined as one who has not owned a primary residence during the three years prior to the purchase.
Existing home owners qualify if they have lived in their home consecutively for five of the previous eight years. More information about the federal program can be found on the Internal Revenue Service Web site at www.IRS.gov.
Another federal program, which went into effect on April 5, is designed to help current homeowners who are unable to retain their home. The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program, or HAFA, works in conjunction with the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, in connection with short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
Avoiding foreclosure
Locally, nine of the 71 sales this year, or 13 percent, were foreclosures, and five of the 38 currently under contract are short sales.
The government program is complicated and not for everyone, said Levon Mathews, president and chief executive officer of First Federal. While the bank is participating in the government program, it is not encouraging participation.
"The bank is doing everything we can do to keep people in their homes," Mathews said. He urged troubled borrowers to contact their financial institution to gather more information and learn about other options the bank has in place for helping borrowers.
Gil Jauregui, secondary marketing manager at First Federal, said the HAFA program is basically a modification to other short-sale and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure programs that began with the Making Home Affordable Program.
Demand on rise
HAFA is basically for borrowers who don't qualify for any other program and do not have any other alternative for staying in their home, Jauregui said.
"As financial counselors to our clients, our job is to explain these government programs and ensure that they have exhausted all other options," he said.
"We want to do the best thing for our clients to keep them in their homes."
Mathews said he has seen the first-quarter sales figures and often has discussions with real estate agents in Sequim and Port Angeles about the current market.'
"What I'm hearing is that we may be close to stabilization and demand seems to be picking up," he said.
"The big question is, how long will we go before consumption picks up?"

Side Effects From Breast Cancer Chemotherapy and Radiation
Chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer destroy constantly dividing breast cancer cells. But these treatments can also affect healthy cells. Medications and other self-help methods can ease many of these side effects:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weakness and fatigue
- Mouth soreness
- Hair loss
- Weight gain
- Premature menopause
- Lowered resistance to infections
- Bleeding
- Diarrhea
Loss of Appetite
Loss of appetite is a common side effect of breast cancer treatment. Try these tips to ensure you are eating a healthy diet during treatment:
- Eat several small meals during the day, instead of three large meals.
- Try an "instant breakfast" mix or other nutritional shakes.
- Eat the largest meal when you are most hungry, which varies from person to person.
- Drink beverages either a half hour before or after meals so they do not interfere with your appetite.
- Consider moderate exercise to increase your appetite.
Nausea and Vomiting
Some -- but not all -- cancer patients experience nausea. You can take medicines called antiemetics before chemotherapy to reduce nausea. Keep track of when you have nausea. Nausea can occur right after treatment or several days later.
- Eat small meals frequently and avoid fatty, greasy foods and citrus.
- Try foods at room temperature instead of very hot or cold.
- When nauseated, try bland foods like crackers, gelatin, ice chips, rice, plain mashed potatoes, or applesauce.
Contact your doctor if you have severe nausea or frequent vomiting. If you vomit, wait an hour before eating or drinking anything. Then, begin with ice chips and gradually add foods. Chamomile, ginger root tea, or ginger ale can sometimes help settle your stomach.
Weakness and Fatigue
Weakness and fatigue can have many causes, including the treatment itself, worry or depression, not eating, pain, inactivity, and low blood counts.
- Make sure you get enough rest. Sleep at least eight hours a night and try to lie down during the day to rest. Avoid caffeine if it interferes with sleep.
- Exercise. Short walks can actually increase appetite and energy. Exercise can help you rest better, even if you are feeling fatigued.
- Be choosy about activities. Get help from family and friends with errands and other chores.
- If you feel pain, let your oncologist know. There is no need to suffer in silence.
- Eat a diet high in iron.
- If fatigue is caused by low red blood cell counts (anemia), you may be given a growth factor called erythropoietin or darbopoietin, which stimulates bone marrow to make red blood cells. It can be given by injection, which can be continued at home. Patients receiving this are carefully monitored for rashes and blood pressure.
Mouth Soreness
Sometimes, a sore mouth or throat can be related to breast cancer treatment. Check with your doctor or dentist to rule out other causes of mouth pain.
- Ask your doctor about drugs to reduce mouth soreness.
- Choose soft foods that will not irritate your mouth, such as scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese, pureed cooked vegetables, and bananas.
- Cut foods into small pieces.
- Avoid citrus, spicy, or salty foods and rough foods.

Intrigue has returned to the South Dakota State Boys' Tennis Tournament and domination is a thing of the past.
This year's state tournament in Rapid City today through Saturday features more than just one heavily favored team. Both Aberdeen coaches named Sioux Falls Washington as a favorite for the title along with Sioux Falls O'Gorman, which has won the last three crowns. They both quickly added Eastern South Dakota Conference teams Watertown and Pierre to the discussion along with Rapid City Stevens and Sioux Falls Lincoln.
Aberdeen Central has a sprinkling of veteran players and some young players learning the ropes. The Eagles lineup has one senior Dan DeBoer and one junior Aaron Lorenz, along with two sophomores and three freshmen.
"We've faced all the top teams in the state," said Central coach Dana Trumm. "We played them and did the best we could. Our young kids are getting more experience. The kids we have back from last year have adjusted to tougher opponents because they are playing in higher flights."
The Golden Eagles are coming off a disappointing Eastern South Dakota Conference tournament, but hope to put that experience to good use.
"We didn't play well as a team in the ESD. I'm hoping the experience of the ESD will help us in the state tournament. The three freshmen that play for us (Matt Melemsetter, Dillon Prissel and Adam Zimmerman) had never had any ESD experience and didn't really know what to expect. I hope they play better in the state tournament," said Trumm.
Aberdeen Roncalli features seniors at the beginning of the lineup and at the end. Seniors Brian Monson, Matt Falk and Michael Ronayne hold down the top three flights of singles. Seniors Joe Reynen and Ross Barton anchor the Cavaliers at number three doubles. The squad is made up of five seniors, two juniors and one sophomore.
"Our guys have played against every team in the state that is going to be in the top five or six, except for Sioux Falls Washington," said Roncalli boys' tennis coach Mike Zerr. "The competition on our schedule is unbelievable and the depth in the state is unbelievable. Our guys have steadily gotten better. The goal at the start of the season was to peak at the state tournament and I expect our guys to give their best effort."
The Cavaliers will take eight athletes to the state tourney and will stick with the same lineup that was used during the season. Kyle Martin and Jacob Gellhaus play at singles flights five and six respectively, and don't play doubles. Reynen and Barton handle the duties at number three doubles and do not play singles.
"Five and six singles and three doubles have come together and improved a lot," said Zerr. "There's no pressure on us. We can go out and swing away and make some noise. We're peaking at the right time and the guys will give their best effort. That's been instilled in them by Judy (Rezatto) and I have continued that."
Rezatto is the longtime Roncalli tennis coach who died of cancer in March.
81st Annual S. D. State Boys' Tennis Tournament
When: Today through Saturday.
Where: Sioux Park and Parkview Tennis Complex in Rapid City.

Capturing our memories
The GSB Oral History Program, operating out of the Library, has been busy preserving the corporate memory of the School. Currently we are interviewing alumni on campus for this year's class reunions, but in the past we have interviewed faculty, staff and students about their experiences at the GSB, as well as alumni. And not only about the past, but also about the present; a few years ago a whole clutch of interviews was done on the design and implementation of the New Curriculum, while it was fresh in the mind, with everyone ranging from Dean Saloner to faculty and staff members to students who took part in the planning process. Some of the faculty we've interviewed over the past few years include James Howell, Pitch Johnson, James March, Joanne Martin, James Porterfield, Michael Ray, Henry Rowen and James Van Horne – as well as former Deans Robert Jaedicke and Arjay Miller. We hope to document the SEED initiative as it unfolds in the coming months. So the work goes on. We have a History Group on OneGSB, for our GSB colleagues who are interested. Stay tuned for further news, as we move forward.

In this year's Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, our Milky Way galaxy takes the starring role — in more ways than one.
Stars seem to spew forth from a lighthouse on the New Zealand coast in the annual contest's winning picture, captured by Australian photographer Mark Gee. "I love the way that the Milky Way appears to emanate from the lighthouse — really cementing the connection between the stars and the landscape," said one of the judges, Pete Lawrence. "I also love the way the Milky Way drags your view out to sea, inviting you to go out and explore the unknown."
Gee said he was spending the night at New Zealand's Cape Palliser and woke up at about 5 a.m. to behold the starry scene. "The only problem was that my camera gear was at the top of the lighthouse ... so I had to climb the 250-plus steps to retrieve it before I could take this photo," he said.
This panorama was stitched together from 20 separate images. The Magellanic Clouds, two of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, appear as faint smudges on the left side of the image, above the main galactic arc.
This is the fifth year for the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, organized by the Royal Observatory Greenwich. The judges had to choose from a record number of entries: There were more than 1,200 images from 49 countries. Our slideshow features the top photos in several categories. The observatory has also put together a selection of videos that tell the stories behind some of the pictures.
Gee receives the contest's top prize of £1,500 for his image, "Guiding Light to the Stars," but the other photographers are winners, too. The best photos are featured in a free exhibition at the Royal Observatory's Astronomy Center that runs through next February, and in a book published by the observatory. There's even an app for iPhone and iPad.
"Never has our cosmos been captured so beautifully!" said Chris Bramley, editor of BBC Sky at Night Magazine and one of the contest judges. Will the same be said next year? Stay tuned.
