Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP)Based on a small study, if standard therapy doesn't work, patients might be able to use Neutrexin (trimetrexate) combined with Leucovorin (folinic acid.) Can PCP Be Prevented? The best way to prevent PCP is to use strong ART. People who have less than 200 CD4 cells can prevent PCP by taking the same medications used for PCP treatment.

In this unforgiving world, it's good to know that even the gorgeous Blake Lively isn't always brimming with confidence. Luckily, the clever clogs has come up with a unique way of overcoming her insecurities… she imagines she's Marilyn Monroe.
"I have insecurities like any girl," said the Gossip Girl star. "Walking the red carpet is scary so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe – someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."
It's noticeable in recent times that Blake's been playing homage to Marilyn, whether it's rocking knockout curves and vintage curls at the LA premiere of Savages or performing a version of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend on Gossip Girl [watch below]. But does this mean she's managed to reach the level of distinction held by the original blonde bombshell?
Since announcing her departure from Gossip Girl, Blake's film roles indicate that she's keen to be taken more seriously as an actress. Her part as a cracked-out single mum in Ben Affleck's dark thriller The Town showed serious commitment to moving away from the teen market, as does her role in upcoming Oliver Stone thriller Savages. The drug-fuelled adaption of the Don Winslow novel sees her starring as the girlfriend to both the delicious Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Some girls get all the luck.
But what do you think? Are Blake's new acting gigs setting her on the path to becoming as renowned Marilyn? Is a Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson man-sandwich a possibility? Let us know below...

I posted this one the 2014 Nissan Altima Lease page but figured I'd go right to you as I've seen you are quite familiar w this area. But I really could use some help now as I plan on going tomorrow to really lease this car. Could use some emergency help. Not completely sure I understand the calculation process here. Looking to buy a 2014 (yes 2014) 2.5 SV w/ no packages added. I checked and they still have a few by me in NY (LI). Considering I am buying a 2014 so late, there should be significant incentive. Can anyone help me ballpark what a good monthly payment would be for this specific car w everything rolled into 500 down and rest of the payments (12k/39m/MSRP $25,150/tier 1 credit). Would really appreciate the MAX I should even consider going to per month.October 16
Hello, Do you know what the lease rates are for October. I am looking for the numbers on a 2014 & 2015 Tiguan RLine & SEL. Any incentives (ex. dealer cash, USAA, etc.) Also, if anyone can advise on what they have achieved or seen on sales price. Thanks in advance.October 14

Hi kyfdx!
Do you have leasing information for 2015 toyota highlander in ohio?
I am looking for the MF and RV on the 2015 Toyota Highlander LE Plus.September 23
cmmyers13My apologies, 12000 miles at 36 months
Hey kyfdx, been following your posts for a while and now I need some help and guidance!
I am looking to lease a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 RWD with Tech Package this Wednesday, MSRP $46,535.
The national lease deal is still $429 per month on the base Genesis 3.8 RWD with $3,999 down and MSRP of $38,950, 12k and 36 month term. Based on your previous posts the assumptions I see used in addition to this is a MF of .00125 and a residual value of 57%.
I want to figure out what an equivalent lease payment would be on the Tech Package assuming a $46,535 MSRP and a negotiated price of $42,900. I am using the same MF and RV, same terms and getting a monthly lease pre-tax of $425.
I feel like I am off somewhere, am I? Are my assumptions illogical? I want to be ready to negotiate well this Wednesday! Thanks for all your help.September 21
Any update on my request for the residual value and money factor numbers for the 2015 Mercedes C Class. I live in NY. 10K per year for 36 months. Also are there any incentives to buying this car vs. leasing?
ThanksSeptember 5
kyfdxIf you asked previous to September 1st, re-post in the same discussion and we'll see it.
Hi, a local ford local dealer just quoted me $536/mo pretax for a 2015 Explorer Sport with 400a package 36mo/12k. MSRP: $46,525; selling price: $42,750; quoted 1% APR rather than money factor. My math results in a pretax monthly of $480/mo. Is my APR conversion incorrect 1% APR/2400x100 = .00041. Residual 57%? thank you.September 3
Hi, I'm just wondering if its predicted the MF will change much for the month of September (from August) on the Mitsubishi Outlander, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and Kia Sorento? I already have numbers from you from last month but curious if they tend to change drastically ? Thanks!September 2
kyfdxSorry... no crystal ball, here

Hi kyfdx Do you know the MF and the res. for a 2014 and a 2015 grand cherokee limited with sunroof and navigation for the New York City area? Looking to possibly end my lease early (3 months to go) and the dealership is offering me $439 per month taxes included 7500 a year + bank fee and DMV and I wouldn't have to worry about any excess wear and tear...we only put 22k on the car and the lease is almost up. Is that a good deal?August 28

Thanks for the prompt info. trying to make a deal on Saturday..this is very helpful!June 6
do you work for a dealership? I'm about to make a deal on an A6 lease coming out of an A4 lease. They are early terminating for 2 months, but I also only have 16,500 miles on a 36000 mile lease. In the past I have been able to use the equity to pay out of pocket fees. When I called Audi Financial they said that my payoff quote is different than what the deal quote would be. Something about the dealer getting fair market value or something. If I sent you the vin number, would you be able to get a dealer payoff amount? I'm actually heading to the dealer later this afternoon.June 4

Quality linked to geographical origin: product, people and place
Some agricultural and food products are distinguished from one another by certain characteristics, qualities or reputations resulting essentially from their geographical origin. This differentiation can be attributed to the unique local features of the product, its history or its distinctive character linked to natural or human factors such as soil, climate, local know-how and traditions (all covered by the term "terroir").
FAO is implementing a programme to support the development of procedures focusing on origin-linked specific quality that will contribute to rural development.
These products of origin-linked quality can increase food security, inasmuch as they contribute to rural development and the preservation of food diversity, while also offering consumers a wider choice. Indeed, thanks to the link between such products and their areas of origin, they can help to preserve local resources, maintain traditions, strengthen the organization of local stakeholders and prevent delocalization and the rural exodus.
Last news
A new publication on line (in Spanish): "How to promote quality linked to Geographical Origin in order to contribute to rural development in Latin America ? Lessons learnt from four case studies".
The training tool on origin-linked quality and geographical indications is now on line! Developed by the Quality & Origin programme of FAO and REDD, with a view to boosting the capacities of people involved in such procedures and increasing the number of experts in the world, this tool places value-chain actors at the heart of the development process, and sustainable development at the heart of territories. Based on "Trainer", "Content" and "Exercise"sheets, it offers a complete tool for trainers around 5 modules related to the virtuous circle methodology.

The set was issued on the the short-lived Venture imprint of Virgin – a surprisingly strong outlook for creative projects like this – and the vibe's quite different than the Brass Fantasy records cut for ECM – with almost a bit more soul at the bottom, and a compact sort of energy that really sends the ideas home. Players include Bowie, Stanton Davis, Malachi Thompson, and Sasul Siddik on trumpets – plus Steve Turre and Frank Lacy on trombones, Vincent Chancey on French horn, Bob Stewart on tuba, and Phil Wilson on drums. Titles include a surprisingly great remake of "Thriller" – plus "Vibe Waltz", "I Am With You", "Duke's Fantasy", "Personality", and "Twilight Dreams". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

As federal policy makers push for GHG regulation and transparent markets, the California experience shows what works and what doesn't work.
2009 Regulator's Forum: Walking A Tightrope
The economy forces tough decisions.
associated costs of base-rate cases while maintaining a high level of customer protections.
In light of today's difficult financial markets, DSIC and CSIC is the type of innovative regulatory policy that needs to be implemented to assure that our utilities can maintain access to capital markets on reasonable terms.
For electric customers, we've taken steps to design default service rates that encourage energy efficiency and conservation. We've moved toward a full commodity charge so that, for every kWh that customers conserve, they pay less. We also have eliminated rate structures that favor increased usage, such as declining block rates, in favor of rates that will change behaviors when it comes to electric use. Regarding time-of-use rates, we are examining a broad spectrum of on and off peak, critical peak pricing, critical peak rebate, real-time hourly pricing, and day-ahead hourly pricing methods.
Fortnightly: How do you properly incent utilities to invest in smart grid, AMI and conservation while ensuring ratepayers are protected financially?
Everett, Georgia: Georgia Power is in the early phases of a meter change-out program to install AMI meters throughout its service territory. Once installed, the AMI meters can be used to implement new rate structures and to provide better and additional services for the utility's customers. The commission will be addressing these issues in Georgia Power's January 2010 integrated resource plan filing. The commission also is working with Georgia Power to acquire and best utilize federal stimulus funds for smart-meter installation.
Box, Illinois: Last year we approved in concept, rider recovery for the costs of installed automated metering technologies and required Commonwealth Edison and Ameren Illinois to participate in statewide collaboratives to review advanced metering and smart-grid technologies. The idea was to conduct broad-based discussions among all interested parties to consider options, a potential framework, and other issues with the hope of finding some common ground. These AMI collaboratives resulted in a pilot program from Commonwealth Edison to install 141,000 smart meters and test the consumer benefits and responses of such meters. However, with the hope of obtaining stimulus funds that the federal government has earmarked for smart grid and AMI, Commonwealth Edison has proposed a second set of AMI and smart-grid investments. Meanwhile, the smart-grid collaborative is still underway.
While I see great potential benefits in a smart grid, the commission is committed to ensuring that Illinois customers don't pay for investments that are unnecessary. In my view, as long as the commission maintains its long history of treating utility investors fairly, utilities will have an adequate incentive to invest in smart grid. The more difficult challenge is to make sure that those investments produce the benefits to customers that make the smart grid so appealing. [Editor's note: On October 14 the commission approved a one-year AMI pilot for Commonwealth Edison.]
Brown, New York: Use of federal stimulus money, which should provide up to 50 percent cost sharing for smart-grid projects, allows for smart-grid efforts to move forward at a reduced cost to the ratepayer. The commission approved utility smart-grid projects worth over $800 million subject to

Excellent value for an excellent antioxidant

Now Curcumin is one of the least expensive turmeric extract supplements. Curcumin is one of the best single antioxidants and provides a number of other benefits including controlling inflammation on a par with prescription anti-inflammatories, including controlling COX-2 inflammatory enzymes, plus it has the side benefit of improving liver function instead of destroying it like many prescription drugs do. Also helps balance intestinal flora. Like other super antioxidants, one of the actions of curcumin is preserving vitamin C and E in the body, so it is a good idea to first ensure that adequate amounts of these are used before using additional antioxidants. Now Curcumin is my favorite "Super Antioxidant."

The amount of Curcumin and effectiveness against inflammation taken with Fish Oil is excellent however the capsules are not sealed very well and Circumin powder gets everywhere and stains clothes. I thought it was a one off but the second tub is the same.
So-so quality

Same problem I have with all NOW capsule supplements; there are broken capsules in every bottle, and in this case, the orange-yellow curcumin powder covers everything. When I take one, I get the powder on my hands. It's just a little annoying, but it points to not the best packing control. It might be a good value, but the product doesn't look as nice.

My joints have been wearing off with time. I used to do a lot of construction work. I started running about 2 years ago and these pills have been doing wonders for me. They greatly reduce inflammation. I can run much farther when I take these (currently up to 15km).

Great product! Thanks so much! Works great on my 89 year old live in mother-n-law who has Alzheimer's. It makes a big difference in her memory. We can tell when she runs out of it. It helps her be clearer for longer periods of time & it appears to be reversing the disease.

To explore the hypothesis that the use of Lopinavir/ritonavir will be associated with improved CD4 immune reconstitution in volunteers who fail to demonstrate a significant CD4 cell increase (while on their first antiretroviral treatment regimen) despite sustained viral suppression by a non-Lopinavir/ritonavir-containing regimen
Drug: Lopinavir/Ritonavir
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Effect of Kaletra on CD4 Immune Reconstitution in HIV-Infected Patients With Long-Term Virologic Suppression on a Non-Kaletra Containing ART Regimen, But With a Blunted Immune Response
- Absolute change in CD4 cell count from baseline, and at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Changes from baseline in CD4 cell percentage at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Changes from baseline in CD4 cell count at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Baseline will be defined as the mean of 2 values obtained prior to the medication switch (for analysis purposes, the CD4 cell counts at 6 and 12 months will be defined by the mean of the CD4 cell counts obtained at months 3, 6 or 9, 12, respectively). [ Time Frame: 3, 6, 0r 9, 12 months respectively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Changes in the slope of CD4 as assessed 6 months prior to the Lopinavir/ritonavir switch (baseline), compared to 6-12 month intervals post initiation of Lopinavir/ritonavir (slope 1-6 months, 1-12 months) [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 2005
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2009
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Lopinavir/Ritonavir
This is an open-labeled, non-randomized exploratory trial in selected volunteers who meet the stated enrollment criteria. This study will assess the impact of Lopinavir/ritonavir on CD4 immune reconstitution. All volunteers must have been on antiretroviral therapy with sustained viral load suppression of < 400 copies/mL for at least 24 months (or, HIV-1 RNA < 400 copies/mL for 12 months, during which HIV-1 RNA was < 50 copies/mL for 6 months prior to screen). Despite induction of viral suppression, all volunteers must have demonstrated limited post-antiretroviral CD4 increase.
Lopinavir/ritonavir will be substituted for one of the 3 ARV drugs in the current (baseline) antiretroviral treatment regimen. Lopinavir/ritonavir will be substituted for any of the following: 3rd NRTI, an NNRTI, a PI or a boosted PI, while the nucleoside backbone will remain the same. If the subject is currently on a three-drug nucleoside/nucleotide plus a 4th anchor drug such as a NRTI, NNRTI, PI or boosted PI regimen, the triple nucleoside will remain constant and only the anchor drug is to be substituted with Lopinavir/ritonavir. Patients on 2 NRTIs with an NNRTI and a PI combination will not be allowed in the study.
Patients will be evaluated frequently, to include physical examination, assessment for the development of AIDS-defining conditions, hematology, chemistry, lipid profile, CD4 CD8 cell counts, plasma HIV-1 RNA ultrasensitive, and assessment of adverse events. If HIV-1 RNA becomes detectable, this will be repeated for confirmation with 2 weeks. HIV genotyping and phenotyping will be performed on patients who demonstrate repetitive plasma viral load levels of > 1,000 copies/mL.
An assessment of memory and naïve T cell response to antiretroviral regimen change will be performed in this study.
Dose and dose selection Lopinavir/ritonavir is also approved for once a day dosing. The dose of lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) for this study will be 400/100mg. BID or 800/200mg. qd. New tablet formulation no longer requires that lopinavir/ritonavir be taken with food. We will give the volunteer the option for once a day dosing or BID dosing of Kaletra. However, those switching from an NNRTI to Kaletra will initially be placed on BID dosing of Kaletra, and allowed to switch to once-a-day dosing of Kaletra after 4 weeks on study drug.

Subaru is a Japan-based automaker whose recent offerings are both practical and fun to drive. The automaker crafts vehicles whose all-wheel-drive powertrains and available turbochargers facilitate sharp performance. Incongruously, most Subaru vehicles are discreet and versatile enough to serve as competent family haulers, and the brand is known for boasting some of the best crash test scores in the automotive world.
In the early 1950s, a
collection of Japanese companies joined to form Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. Its
automotive division came to be known as "Subaru," which is a Japanese
word meaning "unite." In 1954, the first Subaru car was unveiled.
Powered by a four-cylinder engine, the P-1 (its name was later changed to the
Subaru 1500) boasted a front-wheel wishbone-type independent suspension and was
the first car to feature a monocoque body designed in

the first Subaru truck. Based on the Subaru 360 platform, the Sambar minitruck

Subaru started the '70s with
the introduction of the GL/DL (called the Leone in other markets). The sedan
(it was soon joined by a coupe and a station wagon) broke new ground by
offering four-wheel-drive (4WD) capability. Up until then, 4WD had only been
offered in off-road-oriented vehicles. Coveted for use in the snow and in hilly
regions, the GL and DL also benefited from the increasing popularity of outdoor
sports like skiing and fishing, and went on to become the world's top-selling
4WD vehicle. In 1977, Subaru rolled out the successful Brat; based on the GL,
it was a small car-based pickup whose cargo bed featured a pair of jump seats.
More and more, young people were seeking a vehicle designed for an outdoorsy
lifestyle, and the rugged Brat was perfectly in step with their nee
Subaru continued to offer
versatile but slightly quirky vehicles through the '80s. It developed the
world's first electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. The
technology made its debut later that decade in a new Subaru, the tiny Justy
economy car. By the end of the '80s, Subaru had given birth to the Legacy,
which replaced the outgoing GL/DL (now called the Loyale in the
The automaker made a name
for itself in motorsports in the 1990s by being the first Japanese marque to
win the Manufacturers' title at the World Rally Championship three years in a
row. The Subaru family continued to grow during this decade, with the addition
of the high-performance SVX, the popular Legacy-based Outback wagon and the
sporty Impreza. In the late '90s, General Motors acquired a 20 percent stake in
parent company Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) with the aim of strengthening its
presence in foreign markets. This affiliation didn't last long, however, and
Today, Subaru's lineup includes everything from compact trucks to family-friendly wagons to high-performance cars such as the WRX STi. The brand is hailed as a top pick for enthusiasts seeking vehicles that offer a shot of utility with their performance thrills.

This lovely instrument is thunderously awesome for the money. Its quality is better than some 800-900 USD instruments on the market. This Precision Bass is very-very attractive with this fiesta red finish. Sounds great with roundwound strings. I also have an American Standard Precision (that's a masterpiece), but I really love this little red P... She's my workhorse and she does the job perfectly. Never mind the Squier logo, this bass is really really cool.

I bought this bass because I love the fiesta red color. After I bought it I made a few modifications to it, like better grade CTS pots and a vintage P-bass pickup. This bass for the price is outstanding. I use it regularly for gigs, along with my far more expensive jazz basses. The classic vibe P Bass is very attractive with the fiesta red finish, although looks great in sonic blue also (I prefer the fiesta red). Also the tort pick guard and the vintage tinted glossy neck really add to the look and finish. Don't be put off by the Squier tag. This is a great playing bass and it looks awesome. I love my Squier Classic Vibe P Bass and will continue to bring this one to gigs.
Ron D from CDC owns this item
This Squier P Bass is one of the best basses I've ever played. I love the different woods they used. The vintage tinted glossy maple on the neck is fantastic. The tone is beautiful. Sounds great with flats or rounds, but best with rounds. And of all the Precision basses I have played, this one is the easiest to play and the most player-friendly. I recommend it over many of the Fenders.

I bought this bass 2 years ago and it's still my favorite precision bass for momey less than 400 €. The look is amazing and the feel to play this bass is like it's one of your own legs ;). The sound is precision! The only thing i changed is the pickup to an original vintage fender precision bass - thx for that great instrument, greetz from germany...
donogee owns this item
You'll never convince a die-hard vintage P-bass owner that these are as good or better, but if you did a blind A/B test I doubt they'd be able to pick 'em out. And for the playability and setup you get with this Classic Vibe P-bass and for that price, I'd rather have the Squier Classic Vibe P-bass. If you like classic P-bass tone, you'll love this bass.

I have not purchased this bass yet, but will buy it 2 days from now. My very first brand new bass was a MIJ 1987 Fender P-Bass. For the last 10 years I have been using a Jazz Bass most of the time. I do take both to gigs. My 1987 is still in good condition and I love playing it, but there are clubs that we play where I am nervous about taking it. That bass has a lot of sentimental value to me, and after 26 years I want to retire it and use it at home or very special gigs. Since I use a Jazz 70% of the time and a P-Bass 30% I don't want to buy a real expensive P-Bass. I do have a Squier Affinity P-Bass also, but it was very beat up when I bought it, and on classy gigs, It doesn't look good with a beat up instrument. So, I flipped over the classic vibe. It feels just like my old '87 P-Bass. It has the vintage 1 3/4 width neck and the thick glossy finish. The weight and balance are almost identical to the old '87. Off the rack it will need a set up. The action is super high and has about .060 relief on the neck. I can set it up pretty quickly. The tuners are solid and smooth, the bridge is better than the MIM bridges. Finish is flawless. The pickup sounds great, Volume and Tone pots have a good taper to them. Everything is tight except the input jack, easy fix. I am looking forward to getting it. It will take me about 20 minutes to set it up. The cost on this bass is very affordable. I was looking at several MIM basses. I own 2 MIM jazz basses, but guitar center only had white or sunburst on P-Basses in stock. The red classic vibe grabbed my attention.
I am a Fender owner, vintage bass freak, and also a huge Pino Palladino fan. I can not afford the Fender Pino signature bass, so I bought this bass brand new, sealed in the factory packaging, about 3 weeks ago. I hadn't played it yet, but was hoping it would be what I was looking for...
Boy, I was not expecting it to be this good! Right out of the box, the fit and finish of this bass was perfect. Medium-low action, great fretwork, awesomely tight neck joint, smooth pots.
The color of the body, the vintage tint gloss on the neck, the quality of the hardware, and the way it perfectly balances on a strap or on the lap are all above and beyond for a bass at this price. I own an American custom shop Fender J, that cost 4x what this bass did, and I'd say that the fit and finish is actually comparable.
The biggest concern I had was the tone... Some Ps are clanky and thin sounding, and that is NOT what I'm looking for. The pickup on this bass is warm, deep, and BASSy. I want booty, and this thing has it! The tone pot is also top notch, it has a smooth curve and real gradual response when turned (not that typical all-or-nothing cheap tone pot).
The minute I got it home, I put some Flatwounds on it, and it has been the only bass I've played for the last three weeks. I'm so happy with it, for this price I want to be able to find some sort of problem with it to justify the low price! I bought it intending to get by for a while until I could replace the neck with a vintage Fender P, but I'm never changing it, it's perfect. I also was prepared to replace the tone pot and pickup, but I'm positive ill never have to. I am still shocked at how great this bass is for the price, I played it side-by-side with made in America Fender Pbasses at guitar center, and it actually had a rounder, deeper tone. I am getting over the S logo on the headstock instead of my beloved F logo, and am fully embracing this as one of my new main basses for the long-run!
adamsmatthewj owns this item
I got one of these a couple of years ago and i must say i'm still kind of amazed of the value of it. It simply feels like pure quality and it looks so good! I must say that the pickups are a little bit dead and the pickguard looks really, really bad! But if you have the money then i would recommend you to get a nice set of pickups, get a new pickguard, and maybe use it with flatwounds. (I do to get that warm classic mellow p-bass sound, but don't if you prefer modern tones) But if you are not willing to spend the money on a MIA standard Precision bass, i must say that this is probably the best bass, especially if you think about the price of it.
Great bass, little money, just an awesome piece of equipment!
dajbassman owns this item
Great bass, unbelievable value, and the color is perfect. Looks like Pino`s at a fraction of the cost. Actions a little high, and new strings would make a difference, but at this price, you cannot complain. Really great bass, great sounds and looks for £320! Highly recommended.

Have your eyes tested every 2 years. Older adults and people with diabetes need to get eye exams more often.
Regular eye exams help your doctor find eye problems early, when they may be easier to treat. The doctor will also do tests to make sure you are seeing as clearly as possible.
These 2 types of doctors can perform eye exams:
What happens during an eye exam?
Learn more about what happens during an eye exam.
What will the doctor look for during an exam?As you get older, your eyes change. Some changes in your eyes are more serious than others. Eye diseases like glaucoma can lead to vision loss and blindness if they aren't caught early.
Depending on your age, the doctor may look for eye problems that are common in older adults, including:
Learn about the different parts of your eye.
Am I at risk for eye disease?You may be at higher risk for eye disease if you:
Am I at risk for a vision problem?Your chance of developing a vision problem increases as you get older. And you may be at higher risk if one of your parents had a vision problem, like needing to wear glasses.
Common vision problems are:
Learn more about common vision problems. See an eye doctor right away if your vision or eyes suddenly change.
Protect your vision. Get regular eye exams so you can find problems early, when they may be easier to treat.
Schedule an eye exam.Ask your doctor or health center for the name of an eye care professional. Or use these tips for finding an eye doctor.
When you go for your exam, be sure to:
For more help, go through this checklist for your eye doctor appointment.
What about cost?Check with your insurance plan about costs and co-payments. If you have Medicare, it will pay for your eye exam if you have diabetes or if you are at risk for glaucoma.
If you don't have insurance, look here for free or low-cost eye care programs where you live.
Watch for problems.See an eye doctor right away if you have any of these problems:
Check out the signs and symptoms of eye problems.
Get regular physical exams.Get regular exams to help you stay healthy. Ask your doctor or nurse how you can prevent type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. These diseases can cause eye problems if they aren't treated.
Lower your risk of falling.Poor vision or the wrong glasses can increase your risk of falling. Falling can cause serious injuries and health problems, especially for people over age 64.

The IndyCar Series committed to adding the Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, La., to its 2015 schedule.
The event will be run April 12 on a new 13-turn, 2.67-mile permanent road course as part of a three-day festival highlighting Louisiana's culture.
"We're delighted about the opportunity to showcase the Verizon IndyCar Series at NOLA Motorsports Park and to IndyCar fans in the greater New Orleans area," said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"The commitment from track owner Laney Chouest and his associates, combined with the support we received from the state of Louisiana, was the catalyst in making this come to fruition. New Orleans has a history of hosting successful major sporting events and we're thrilled to be able to add the Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana to the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule."
The course layout and track improvements will be made before the race next year.
"I'm really excited about going to NOLA next year," IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe said. "Having seen the track and the changes they are going to make, I think it'll be great to drive. Great for fans, too, because you can see most of the track from the stands, which is rare on road courses.
"But maybe even more than that just going to that city is going to be a blast. They sure know how to throw a party and I know that they are going to roll out the red carpet for IndyCar and really make it an event."

We all know that Cara Delevingne has had a MAY-JOR influence on the catwalk recently, whipping up a storm at every top-notch show during fashion month. Over in beauty land, we've been Cara obsessed ever since she became a Burberry babe back in 2012. Original fans or die-hard newbies, there's no denying we're in the middle of a Cara frenzy that's taking a firm grip on us all.
In fact, Cara and those brows (which have their own Twitter account, dontcha know) have caused a huge spike in brow product sales, as the world tries to mimic her now iconic features. From pencils to powders, beauty brands just can't make enough eyebrow enhancing products to help us achieve Cara-worthy brows.
Taking a look back at Cara's best beauty looks, it's easy to see why our beauty crush first began. From her sophisticated, ethereal Burberry campaigns to her 'model off duty' style, Cara never fails to deliver and most recently she looked fiercer than ever in her YSL beauty campaign that we revealed back in January.
This season we saw Cara strutting her stuff and oozing elegance on the Chanel catwalk, sporting the show's sequin silver eyes but and working them once she hit the Paris streets with her signature, urban get up. We love CD best though for her catalogue of Instagram funny faces and back to basics beauty which she pulls off in only the way Cara can!

An interview with key executives of Duke-American Transmission Co.: Phillip Grigsby, president, and Randy Satterfield, executive vice president. Both also sit on DATC's Board of Managers.
Grid Futures
Evolutionary directions for electric system architecture.
function as the legacy grid, providing the capacity to transact increasing volumes of power over long distances. It readily accommodates central-station generation wherever it is desired or economical to build the power plant, so that generation—and not transmission—siting constraints dominate planning decisions. In the absence of transmission constraints, economics would typically favor bulk generation projects, connected in the traditional manner at the transmission voltage level. The penetration level of distributed generation would also be limited by the technical capability to allow safe back-feeding of power.
Operationally, the beefy system works much like before. Especially at the distribution level, very little would change in architecture, since power continues to be fed hierarchically out from substations. Distribution feeders might be added locally to accommodate load growth, but without changing the fundamental radial structure of the system. At the transmission level, incremental changes can be summarized as reducing the impedance between nodes in the grid, by upgrading links or adding lines along new rights-of-way. At the extreme, this scenario might be called the "metallic skies."
One caveat of this growth in transmission capacity is the potential instability in alternating-current (AC) transmission systems resulting from very large power transfers over long distances. Voltage magnitude and angle oscillations have been increasingly observed in synchronous AC systems spanning large geographic regions, and aren't very well understood at present. With thermal limits generally increasing due to transmission system build-out, stability constraints can be expected to play an increasingly important role. Without significantly better knowledge of system stability behavior and implementation of phase-angle measurement and control, or the strategic introduction of DC links, brute-force addition of transmission capacity can be expected to run up against this fundamental limitation. Another way to say this is that while more transmission capacity on the one hand adds to security, when fully utilized it also introduces new vulnerabilities. Besides oscillations, a well-known example of this is relay tripping and system separation in response to distant events (such as the proverbial tree limb in Oregon taking down California). A related caveat of reducing impedances between nodes is the associated increase of fault currents. Because of this, interconnectivity of transmission networks might be limited by the capacity of devices to safely interrupt large fault currents. Finally, more transmission links might also increase the potential for potential for other power instabilities, loop flows and larger wide-spread cascading blackouts.
In sum, while the overall T&D operating philosophy wouldn't change much in the "beefy" scenario, and while the system would be built out incrementally in response to operational needs, operational limits ultimately would arise that can no longer be addressed with just the addition of traditional capacity.
Note that because grid technology plays a small role in this scenario, this discussion of T&D operation assumes that smart grid technology is minimally implemented at the load level (such as meter reading and billing, signal-controlled demand response, or charge scheduling for electric vehicles) and for generation (such as wind resource forecasting). Also it doesn't assume a particular regulatory or market model for transactions of energy and ancillary services. Where information technology

- Home Theaters $250,001+
Editor's Note: This article was originally posted on May 1, 2008.
On our checklist for an award-winning, super high-end home theater: Flap-your-pants sound system, eye-popping superwide CinemaScope picture capability, "Full HD" 1080p resolution, very serious sound control, gorgeous room design, lighting control and automation systems, and optional things that make us go ga-ga like a separate lobby and a secret entranceway.
This over-the-top Houston theater has it all. "I wanted to build a space in my home that was almost a fantasy land," says the proud owner. "You can step into this, and suddenly you feel you are not in the home but in an old opera house." Indeed, old-style sconces illuminate columns and arches, crisscross flairs highlight a soffit of rich blue, and lights from the ceiling shine down from medallions. An arched ceiling in the lobby displays a twilight sky of fiber-optic stars above burgundy walls and a black marble floor. Then there's the hidden door to the theater that looks like a mirror and cabinet in an upstairs hall.
It's not the stars on the ceiling or the decor that shine most brightly on this stage, however. Here, the drama is provided by the audio/video gear, including the powerful Theta Digtal processor and amplifiers, Aerial front speakers and three front subwoofers, 12-foot-wide Stewart Filmscreen CineCurve screen, and Runco top-of-the-line 3-chip 1080p DLP projector with an anamorphic lens that allows the owners to see superwide CinemaScope pictures in their original 2.35:1 aspect ratios. Talk about theatrical. "It's like going from 4:3 to 16:9," says the homeowner. "Now I don't want to watch anything in 16:9."
The front Aerial speakers and subwoofers are hidden behind the acoustically transparent microperforated screen, and six Triad speakers are mounted in the side columns nearest the seats and the two rear columns for surround sound. One column even has a game port, and there's another secret door that allows access to the theater's own air-conditioning system. The Runco projector shines through a cutaway in the back wall.
The family also enjoys both Blu-ray and HD DVD high-definition disc players, an HD TiVo for recording shows, an ADA Sirius satellite radio tuner and a 1-terabyte Niveus hard drive media server. The rack of goodies is flush mounted in the lobby area.
The installation was a challenge for Design Cinema Privée of Atlanta, GA. "I had some good equipment over the years, but I never had a room," says the homeowner. He had a drop-down screen and audiophile-grade Theta gear, including a Casablanca processor and Theta's powerful Citadel and Dreadnaught amplifiers, in an informal living room. "But the room used to get really hot, and my family was always concerned about the noise," he says. So a space over the bedroom was allocated for the theater addition. In fact, the bedroom roof had to be raised for the theater.
"This space was going to be located directly over the master bedroom suite, says Dennis Erskine, CEO of Design Cinema Privée. "Thus, sound isolation became a critical component of our design." The floor joists of the theater actually ride above the joists of the master bedroom and are supported by their own concrete piers. In addition, the floor and walls of the theater are separated by isolation clips to prevent sound from traveling through them, a 5⁄16-inch Acoustik Mat sound barrier was placed over the floor, and 15 inches of insulation and a 5-inch air gap between the floors were utilized to cushion the remaining noise. "We measured the noise in the bedroom before we began construction to provide a baseline," Erskine says. "Upon completion, we measured zero increase in the noise in the master bedroom [in the lower bass range]."
"They put in a lot of soundproofing, but the sound in the theater is still good for music," says the homeowner, whose taste in movies runs toward musicals.
Erskine also says the addition of two Triad Bronze subwoofers helped smooth the bass response in the theater. Design Cinema Privée also added a Lutron Grafik Eye lighting system and Crestron automated control, allowing for several preset scenes ranging from critical viewing with all the lights down to game viewing with some lights on to just having the soffit lights on.
The lobby has its own dramatic scenes. Even the homeowner's wife, who reportedly wasn't crazy about this project, has come around to enjoy the theater. And their two kids are having more friends over for sleepovers. "My theater is a result of a hobby that has been dear to me since 1996," says the homeowner. "Until the theater was completed, I never had the perfect room, which I believe I have now."Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Twenty-eight-year-old Erick Wilson of Columbia and 29-year-old David Marquise Howard of Baltimore were sentenced Wednesday.
