Hydroxyurea (Hydrea) is a drug that was tested as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Hydroxyurea is sometimes referred to as HU.
Hydroxyurea was approved for use against cancer. It also works against sickle cell anemia. Hydroxyurea has not been approved by the FDA for use against HIV.
Hydroxyurea blocks an enzyme produced by human cells. This enzyme makes building blocks used by cells that are multiplying. Cancer cells multiply very quickly, so when hydroxyurea blocks this enzyme, the cancer grows more slowly.
Hydroxyurea reduces the activation of the immune system. It is still being studied as part of HIV treatment.
These building blocks are also used by HIV when it multiplies. Some of the drugs used against HIV (the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors) are "fake" versions of these same building blocks. When HIV uses the fake materials, it can't multiply.
Hydroxyurea is not recommended as part of ART against HIV. Hydroxyurea has been studied in combination with the drugs ddI and d4T. HU reduces gains in CD4 cells, increases ddI's side effects, and can cause serious birth defects. It was studied due to its ability to intensity the effects of other medications. However, its side effects appear to outweigh its benefits for people with HIV.
There are no absolute rules about when to start ART. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4-cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking HIV medications. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
The HIV virus is sloppy when it makes copies of its genetic code (RNA). This means that many new copies of HIV are slightly different from the original (mutations). Some mutations can resist an ARV and continue to multiply. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug.
Hydroxyurea blocks an enzyme produced by our own cells, not by HIV. This means that HIV cannot develop resistance to hydroxyurea. Taking hydroxyurea can slow down HIV mutations so that it takes much longer for resistance to develop to the other ARVs you are taking.
Hydroxyurea is available in 500 mg tablets. The most common doses studied in HIV were 1 gram taken once a day, or 500 mg taken twice a day.
The most serious side effects seen with hydroxyurea are pancreatitis and lactic acidosis that caused some deaths. Hydroxyurea may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It can also lead to weight gain, hair loss, and changes in skin coloring. HU may cause birth defects, so pregnant women should not take hydroxyurea. It can also damage the bone marrow. This can result in anemia (a drop in the number of red blood cells) or neutropenia (a drop in the number of white blood cells).
Hydroxyurea appears to increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy. See Fact Sheet 555 for more information on neuropathy.
Hydroxyurea was sometimes prescribed with reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as ddI or d4T. Hydroxyurea intensifies the side effects of ddI.
Hydroxyurea's side effects may be worse if taken with AZT, because both drugs can damage the bone marrow.
Hydroxyurea is used to reduce the activation of the immune system. It slows the growth of some cancers.
HU was studied as a way to intensify the HIV effects of ddI and d4T. This strategy was not successful.

Although Christian Horner believes Daniel Ricciardo's 10-place grid penalty for Bahrain is "harsh", he concedes that is the rule.
Ricciardo was hit with a drive-through penalty in Sunday's Malaysian GP when Red Bull released him from the pits with a loose left front wheel.
The error was compounded after the grand prix when the Aussie was also handed a 10-place grid penalty for the next race in Bahrain.
Horner says it is a harsh punishment but concedes it is laid out in the regulations.
"The rules are pretty clear," the team boss told Autosport.
"For an unsafe release, it is a stop-go penalty of 10 seconds and a 10-place grid penalty for the next race, so the punishment is harsh for the crime.
"It is the rules, so that is what it will be."
As for Red Bull's error, it was an unusual mistake from a team that in the past has dominated the pit stop battles.
"The wheel wasn't located correctly," Horner explained. "It went on OK, it was done up, but the gunman felt that something wasn't quite right.
"He was going to check and put an extra couple of turns into it, but the latch on the gun had switched back across so he effectively undid it.
"It is one of those things. Our pit crew have the fastest pit stops in the pit lane and a mistake was made, but that is how it goes sometimes."

Film producer Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) is extremely eager to make a film, he's saved up for it his entire life he now has $2,184 to pay for production costs. With a script ('Chubby Rain') penned by an accountant (Adam Alexi-Malle), a camera operator (Jamie Kennedy) with access to studio-owned equipment, and several actors who are hungry for work (Christine Baranski, Heather Graham, Kohl Sudduth) he needs access to a studio in order to distribute his masterwork.
He manages to extract a promise from a film studio executive (Robert Downey Jr.) that the executive will distribute the film if it includes currently-hot action star Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy). Ramsey - a rather pompous, neurotic actor - refuses, so Bowfinger constructs a plan to covertly film (on an extremely low budget) all of Ramsey's scenes without his knowledge. The actors, told that Ramsey is method acting and will not be interacting with them outside of their scenes, walk up to Ramsey in public and recite their lines while hidden cameras catch Ramsey's confused reactions.
The plan goes well at first. Ramsey ends up starring (unknowingly) in the movie. However, Ramsey (who is a member of an organization called MindHead) misinterprets the movie's sci-fi dialogue and believes he's being stalked by aliens, damaging his already-precarious mental state. He finally goes into hiding in order to maintain his sanity. This puts a hold on the film production, and leaves Bowfinger wondering what to do next.
A desperate Bowfinger resorts to hiring a Ramsey lookalike (also played by Murphy) named Jiff. Jiff is kind, amiable and rather clueless. He even runs a gauntlet of 'stunt drivers' racing along a major freeway when asked. Eventually, he becomes depressed about his lack of acting talent, but another cast member assures him that his real talent is being an exact double for Kit Ramsey. Jiff isn't sure 'how much of a talent that is...I mean, I am his brothe

The Fantastic Mr. Fox: Featurette & B-Roll
It opened the BFI 53rd London Film Festival and will be out in UK/Ireland next Friday 23rd (USA November 25th) THE FANTASTIC MR FOX.
The stop animation movie is based on the classic Roald Dahl childrens book of the same name directed by The Royal Tennenbaums director wes anderson. George Clooney, Meyrll Streep, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Brian Cox , Willem Dafoe, Adrien Brody, Michael Gambon and even Jarvis Cocker!!! have voice many of the characters. With the great cast behind it and been a Roald Dahl novel I think this will do very well, but I do personally think the characters look a little creepy though it is good to see a director not taking the typical route of cgi animation and sticking to more traditional methods.
Here is a featurette looking at the Gypsey House and how it was made and a Blog roll which is a compilation of the behind the scenes footage of the animation, enjoy

Ayatollah Khomeini, in contrary with pre-dominant trend of thought in Shi'a, announced establishment of Islamic government in the occultation era necessary and an obligation for jurists. He with invoke to a set of transmitting and intellectual reasons tried to justify his theory of "Governance of the Jurist" and granted to it a divine legitimacy, which is examined in the first part of the present research. But how he viewed the role of people in legitimizing of his acceptable type of government? Despite that he believed to divine legitimacy of Governance of the Jurists, but acceptance and satisfactory of people was also strongly emphasized by him. In second part of the present research, the researcher investigates how he combined between divine right of the jurists and popular right in legitimizing of power and government.

Media diet – startup style
As promoted in the 4 hour work week a media diet is a nice way save time. For entrepreneurs a different type of media diet is required.
A business trends diet
Here's how – avoid all business related articles as they pertain to new strategies & trends.
Here's why – We already know enough to be successful. Our problem is doing the stuff.
Unless we are just starting in the business world – we've heard every strategy and the fact is that most 'new' business ideas are simple derivatives of business theories which have been around since the birth of commerce. Cables channels and tech stuff is the worst. Who's got the time to read 86 posts from techcrunch every day? – not me.
We ought just trust our judgment and make the call that we know enough to get moving…and the rest we'll learn on the job…. So in the spirit of this blog entry, ignore the articles you were about to read and get back to your stuff.
Some stuff all web startups should know
I've just read the following book. 50 great e-Businesses and the minds behind them. By Emily Ross and Angus Holland. It includes all our favourites over the past 10 years. Put simply it's insightful.
I really think you should read it, but if you're time poor like most entrepreneurs here's my bullet point summary for you:
More than 80% of these businesses were founded and run by non-technical people (web designers / coders etc)
Only a handful actually went viral and had overnight success
'Fun parks' build traffic & members quicker than 'real commercial sites' (see next blog entry)
The majority did not have VC funding, fancy offices, or even staff. They bootstrapped.
Most took much longer than 2 years to build
The most unexpected and common thing that drove success was cold calling & collaboration
The entrepreneurs behind them we're driven by the idea, belief and excitement – not only the potential for big money.
Worth a read.
Here's to the naysayers
Here's a great blog entry all entrepreneurs should read from the uber clever crew at 37 signals.
Imagine how different the world will be 13 years from now.

Hi: 12° Lo:9°
By Tristan Harris Wednesday 26 February 2014 Updated: 26/02 23:31
THE LEADER of Bromsgrove's Labour Group said he was disappointed that the council did not vote for a non-statutory public inquiry to be held into Marlbrook Tip.
Coun Luke Mallett had tabled a motion at the meeting of Bromsgrove District Council on Wednesday (February 26) requesting a probe be organised into the waste site.
During the discussion, an amendment was made to the call by Coun Kit Taylor, suggesting a working group be set up, made up of cross-party councillors, officers, members of the legal team and residents living near to the site.
Coun Taylor said, as well as planning a proper route forward for the future of the Tip, the issue of a public inquiry could still be brought up and discussed and could happen in the future.
"We need to take the emotion and the politics out of this issue and get down to facts," he said.
Ward member for the area Coun Dr Brian Cooper said a lot of the staff responsible for what had happened and moved on.
And he said, whilst the council's handling had been inappropriate, incompetent and almost negligent and he was sympathetic to a public inquiry, he doubted anything could be learnt that was not known already.
What happened in the future was what was important to the residents.
But Coun Mallett said he felt the motion should have been given unanimous support by members as an investigation, led by an independent person, was the only way to get all the questions surrounding the site answered and prevent it happening again.
"We need to spend a little more time to win back the confidence of the public.
"We already have the evidence there.
"We need someone to come in, take an impartial approach, look at that evidence and make their decision.
"This is the most significant environmental disaster any of us will see in Bromsgrove in our lifetimes."
Earlier this month there were angry scenes at a public meeting about Marlbrook Tip where it was explained that the Environment Agency's (EA) statutory panel engineer's suggested solution was to lay down a further 53,000 cubic metres of material as part of a recontouring process. Grass would then be planted to meet the engineer's requirements.
But officers pointed out - if each lorry could carry seven cubic metres of material - it would take 440 loads every week for the next six months to achieve those levels.
The original motion was rejected and the amended motion was approved.

Former high school cheerleading captain Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams) is a thirty-something single mother who cleans houses for a living. Wanting to send her trouble-making eight-year-old son Oscar to a private school, Rose decides to take her married lover's (Steve Zahn) advice and get into the lucrative business of crime scene cleanup. Rose convinces her disillusioned, underachieving sister Norah (Emily Blunt) who is still living at home with their dad Joe (Alan Arkin), to join her in the enterprise, which she calls Sunshine Cleaning. The sisters begin to find meaning in their function to help in some way in the aftermath of a loss, just as the job stirs up memories of their own mother's death. Their priorities and goals tested, Rose and Norah face hard challenges as they strive to improve their lives.

Foreclosure Starts Plummet on Mortgage Settlement: LPS
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- New foreclosure filings dropped sharply in October, as banks scrambled to comply with new servicing requirements under the national mortgage settlement.
According to the October Mortgage Monitor Report by Lender Processing Services, foreclosure starts declined 21.9% in October from the previous month and almost 48% lower than a year ago period. Foreclosure inventory fell by 7%.
But the drop-off is likely to be only temporary according to LPS Applied Analytics Senior Vice President herb Blecher.
"This decline coincided with the implementation of new procedural changes outlined in the National Mortgage Settlement, which requires, among other things, that mortgage servicers provide written notice to borrowers 14 days prior to referring a delinquent loan to a foreclosure attorney. This has resulted in what is likely a temporary slowdown in foreclosure starts that we do not believe is indicative of a longer-term trend,"said Blecher in a statement.The five biggest mortgage servicers- Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Ally Financial- entered into a $26 billion settlement with federal and state regulators earlier this year over alleged fraudulent foreclosure practices, better known as "robo-signing". Under the agreement, banks are required to offer various forms of mortgage relief to borrowers and also adhere to stricter standards regarding foreclosure. In states where banks need to prove a borrower is in default in court- judicial foreclosure states- scrutiny of foreclosure cases has been heightened. Other states such as Nevada and California have enacted tough laws protecting borrowers from wrongful foreclosure practices. The result has led to a slowdown in foreclosures, with banks increasingly preferring to pursue alternatives such as short sales and loan modifications. Still, the pipleline of delinquent loans remains large. The nationwide delinquency rate reduced to 7.03%, according to the LPS report, but that is still well above normal. States with the highest percentage of delinquent loans include Florida, Mississippi , New Jersey, Nevada and New York. It remains uncertain how banks will continue to work through their problem loans and whether the shift from foreclosures is really permanent.

The RS 180 wireless headphone system delivers uncanny realism yet-to-be seen in a pair of wireless headphones. The entire package includes a headphone (HDR 180) and a multi-purpose transmitter (TX 180) which also functions as an 'easy-charge' cradle and docking station.
The RS 180 makes movie and HDTV marathons an amazing experience thanks to the Automatic Level Control that compensates for variances in the volume of program material to enhance speech intelligibility...just set your comfortable volume level and let ALC do the rest. The RS 180 utilizes KLEER's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission (it sounds wired!), offering a range of up to 320 feet, audiophile-grade sound and reception to four optional pairs of Sennheiser KLEER headphones. Never fuss with tuning again thanks to automatic, interference-free pairing between the headphone and transmitter.
The Open-Aire speaker system puts you in the action by delivering the most natural sounding private wireless audio experience possible. It even includes a balance control for the ultimate in listening experience customization. The headphones' luxurious velour earpads and headband cushions provide exceptional comfort for hours on end

abt gave me great terms and rapid delivery. My wife and I both have some hearing loss, and with two pair we really enjoy TV programs and our CD player a great deal more. Also one of us can listen without bothering the other one because the speakers can be muted. I wish the ear covers were available in several sizes.

Very pleased with the product, although I had to rate it as a 4 because the charge does not last long enough before the headphones quit.

Vicki Lord Larson
EAU CLAIRE — Interim Chancellor Vicki Lord Larson told the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire community Monday that she's committed to helping the campus maintain its excellence and achieve its goals as the university searches for and hires a new chancellor.
"My goal and objective as the interim chancellor is to do what is in the best interest of UW-Eau Claire … and I will be here as long as I am needed," Larson said during a welcome reception that gave her a chance to mingle with dozens of members of the faculty and staff.
Larson, a native of Prentice, said one of her priorities will be to ensure that students from low-income families have access to higher education.
"One of my deep passions is to help intellectually capable and highly motivated students who do not have the financial resources to attend college," Larson said, noting that her mother was proud that all of her children earned college degrees despite the family's difficult financial situation following the death of her father. "I desperately want to see these students succeed."
Programs that have earned UW-Eau Claire a national reputation for excellence will continue to be a priority, Larson said, mentioning student-faculty research, international education and service-learning.
"We have an excellent administrative team in place, excellent faculty and staff, and high quality students," Larson said. "We must stay focused and maintain the momentum while we are searching and screening for a new chancellor."
UW-Eau Claire's comprehensive campaign — with its current goal of $50 million by the end of 2007 — also will be a priority, Larson said, noting that the Fulfilling the Promise of Excellence campaign exceeded its $35 million goal more than 18 months ahead of schedule.
Larson said she is "deeply honored and delighted" to be back at UW-Eau Claire, a campus that gave her her first tenure-track faculty position and her first administrative position.
"I spent 18 wonderful years here," said Larson, who worked at UW-Eau Claire from 1973-1991. "This community is the best place I have ever lived. It feels great to be home."
Larson came to UW-Eau Claire to teach in the communication disorders department. She chaired the department for five years, and later was named assistant dean of Graduate Studies and then associate dean of Graduate Studies and Research. She left in 1991 to be the dean of the graduate program at UW-Oshkosh. She served as provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs at UW-Oshkosh before retiring in 2000 to spend time with her ailing husband, who died in January 2004.
"I had to be on campus for only a few minutes to be reminded of what a special place this is," Larson said of UW-Eau Claire. "People have been friendly and caring, and the buildings and grounds are immaculate. I'm eager to learn about everything that has happened while I've been gone — specifically issues and happenings with students in and outside the classroom."
During the welcome reception, Larson said she agrees with those who described UW-Eau Claire's former Chancellor Donald Mash as a star within the UW System. While he'll be missed on campus, she thinks he'll make significant contributions in his new role as executive senior vice president of the UW System. "He'll bring a campus perspective to System that will be very valuable," she said, noting that such a move by UW System President Reilly is a sign that he plans to be proactive as he moves the System forward during these fiscally difficult times.
While UW-Eau Claire and other institutions within the UW System will face challenges given the state's ongoing budget problems, Larson said she's optimistic about the UW System's future.
"Every chance I get, I plan to be an advocate for this campus and I will talk about the need for supporting higher education in Wisconsin," Larson said.
After earning her bachelors and master's degrees in communication sciences and disorders from UW-Madison, Larson worked as a speech-language pathologist at public schools in Wisconsin and later became an instructor at UW-Whitewater. Her experience teaching at a university prompted her to return to Madison to earn her Ph.D.

From Atheism, to The Way, to JW's to Jesus - Sandy Lowry's Story
Until I was about nineteen, I claimed to be an atheist. The Bible was then presented to me for the first time by a gentleman from the Way, and it seemed to make sense (also for the first time). My fiancé and I began attending Twig fellowship, but we experienced problems when we were about to marry. In order for the Way to marry a couple, they must first take $1000 worth of classes. Not having the funds, we were even refused counseling. It was during this time we also disagreed with the hostility the group had toward homosexuality--we just didn't believe that saying "faggot" would minister to anyone, let alone lead them to Christ and inspire life changes.
After looking at many churches, I was heavy hearted. I just couldn't go where the Trinity was taught, as this was a major issue having come from the Way. I began to study with Jehovah's Witnesses just because of that one common thread. Pretty soon I was realizing that I was just going through the motions--I didn't have a heart-felt love for God. I was burning out between going to meetings and trying to appease my husband (who knew it wasn't the truth). My belief was that God still wanted my marriage to work, but I couldn't invest any time into it between work and meetings, meetings, meetings. I was told by fellow Witnesses that if my husband left me because of this, then God would bless me threefold for standing strong for Him. Thankfully it just didn't sit well with me, and I left. I had been in about a year, year and a half.
Believe it or not, I wasn't really pestered as some are--I had never been baptized with the Witnesses. However, I'll never forget the fear of leaving. I was confused and definitely didn't want to be part of the "apostasy" who preached against the Witnesses and suffered harsh judgment. I just knew that I would go straight to hell if I died right then. (I have no idea where the idea came from!) The turmoil was indescribable.
God put so many people in my path at this point, and I did begin to attend an Assemblies of God church with my husband. Yea! It was slow going though, and now about five years later I can finally utter, "Thank you Jesus!" and know that I have found Him. I'm finally trusting in God's promise for salvation and a heavenly hope! (I used to pray the prayer of His acceptance every time it was offered, just hoping that would be the time it actually came true.) I am now strong enough in my faith in Christ that I am not afraid to talk with Witnesses. I used to be so very intimidated when remembering all the training we were given to refute anything and everything said to us!
God is now growing us up very rapidly. We are growing in Christian maturity, purifying our home, sweeping our hearts clean, and entering into the roles God intended us to lead as a husband and wife. His praise is ever on my lips!
By His grace alone,
Sandi Lowery

Walmart remains the No. 1 retail brand at a value of $39.421 billion according to a new study by Kantar Retail and BrandZ ranking the top 20 retail brands (most of whom sell appliances).
Amazon, valued at $27.459 billion, comes in at No. 2 and bumped UK-based Tesco, valued at $25.741, to No. 3.
A broad span in overall value separates the top three from the rest of the Top 20, with Carrefour SA coming in No. 4 at a value of $14.980 billion. No. 5 is Target Corp., valued at $12.148 billion.
The remainder of the retail brands on the study are valued at under $10 billion. These include:
6 - Ebay Inc.
7 – The Home Depot
8 –Aldi (Germany)
9 – Auchan (France)
10 – Lowe's
11 – Best Buy
12 – Ikea (Sweden)
13 – Marks & Spencer (UK)
14 – Asda (UK), owned by Wal-Mart Stores
15 – Kohl's
16 – Lidl (Germany)
17 - Costco
18 – Sam's Club, owned by Wal-Mart Stores
19 – Safeway
20 – Sainsbury (UK)
"During periods of economic uncertainty, consumers and businesses increasingly rely on strong brands for the reassurance and reliability they represent," noted Wayne Levings, CEO of Kantar Retail.
The report authors note that the Top 10 brands on the list have been consistent in the past five years, but two instances of dramatic growth—Amazon and ALDI—reflect significant marketplace trends.
With a 359% increase in brand value, Amazon moved from No. 8 in 2006 to No. 2 in 2010, showing the revolutionary impact of e‐commerce.
Aldi's 241% increase in brand value demonstrates consumers' increased concern with price and their embracing of private label products, at least in the supermarket realm.

Jill Dailey McIntosh has always been intrigued by the human body and how it moves—so much so that she graduated in 1991 with a kinesiology degree and soon thereafter decided to open her own Pilates teaching studio. But it wasn't until years later that this curiosity would manifest itself in a single question: "How can one aggressively transform the shape of their body while still maintaining proper alignment of the spine?" Eventually Jill began to examine her diverse fitness background, pulling low-impact movements from ballet, Pilates, and even orthopedic-exercise routines to create the basis for her fitness style, The Dailey Method.
Now, more than a decade later, Dailey's fitness routine has ballooned into studios sprawled across more than 10 states and gained praise from Self, Allure, FitPregnancy, and InStyle magazines. Regardless of the location, instructors remain true to Jill's mission of offering a diverse series of exercises that focus on toning and lengthening the body while lengthening the spine and building strong core muscles.
Captain Dennis Garrison always felt more at home in the water than he did on land. He was born in the beach town of Playa del Rey, where he spent his days fishing, jet-skiing, and sailing along the coast of Southern California. His love of the open sea and knack for navigation eventually led to stints with the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard.
Unable to ignore the roaring of the surf and the call of gulls after retirement, Garrison founded his own sailing company?Imagine Sailing Tours. Drawing on 30 years of nautical experience, he shuttles passengers towards scenic coastlines and popular sites throughout the San Francisco Bay area. He helms a majestic Irwin Citation 34 yacht, pointing out passing dolphins and seals as he steers towards Angel Island, Half Moon Bay, or AT&T Park. Upon arriving at destinations, Garrison leads activities such as snorkeling trips in Monterrey Bay, wine tastings on Treasure Island, and pottery-spinning classes on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. The skilled seafarer also offers sailing lessons for passengers who?d like to try their hand at steering the ship themselves.
The two personal trainers who run Five Points Fitness named their 17,000-square-foot facility after what they consider to be the five keys to fitness: strength, endurance, flexibility, stability, and nutrition. To help members achieve those essentials, they stock their gym with strength-training equipment and cardio machines, each of which are equipped with their own monitors. In addition to personal training, the staff leads group training sessions limited to two to five students, ensuring each one receives a dose of individual attention. Members also have access to group classes including yoga, cardio kickboxing, and Zumba—a high-energy dance workout that fuses Latin-inspired moves with club-worthy beats. The staff's certified nutritionist helps members stick to healthy dietary plans by encouraging them to eat fewer butter sculptures, and onsite childcare Monday–Saturday mornings makes it easier for parents to hit the gym.
Guided by a mission of embracing every student's quest for personal growth, the team at YogaWorks offers programs for all ages and walks of life. Harnessing a minimum of 500 hours of Yoga Alliance training, expert instructors build lean muscles with traditional Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Vinyasa flow classes enhanced by inspiring music, ambient candlelight, meditation, and props. Their fitness classes further the body-shaping results of yoga, strengthening core muscles with Pilates, increasing endurance and lean muscles with TRX classes, and building stamina with resistance-based SculptWorks.
Instructors also host exotic yoga retreats, which marry the excitement of travel to far-away locales with the benefits of yoga to bestow students with the confident grace required to approach a foreign yoga mat without startling it. Those in search of further training can access online videos by subscribing to myyogaworks.com, which offers a free, 14-day trial for new users. Students can search for videos by workout duration, skill level, and the targeted area of the body.
Today they're playfully dubbed "The Boot Camp Guys," but Jaron Eliopoulos and Jeffrey Sears were merely students of kinesiology when they met in 2005. After bonding over a shared passion for fitness, the two began to move toward their current nickname by leading boot camp on the side of personal-training jobs. But when their camp spread to two cities and more than 100 patrons, the amount it takes to overthrow a tyrannical couch potato, Jaron and Jeff could ignore their calling no more and LiveFit Boot Camp was born.
Accountability is the glue that holds campers together at the sessions, which are held at parks all over the region. Jeff and Jaron dream up a new workout each day and turn it over to trainers who not only encourage the clients that attend, but also check in with no-shows to make sure they're staying on track. Through combinations of sprinting, suspension training, kettlebell moves, and other exercises, the routines keep muscles guessing and attendees engaged.
"At Body By X, members learn to become comfortable with the uncomfortable, a key to achieving fitness goals." That just one part of the Body By X mission: to get exercisers past their fitness hurdles so the gym becomes a place associated with success and development. Inside the welcoming facility, trainers help clients develop their bodies in pursuit of just about any fitness goal, including losing weight, gaining weight, improving bone density, or boosting confidence. Among the many offerings, the space houses free weights, cardio machines, and a basketball court as well as a fly gym, where instructors lead students through exercises that combine yoga and Pilates fundamentals with a suspension-cable system. Trainers also lead cycling, rowing, stretch and TRX classes, as well as sport-specific training for athletes and personal training for individuals.

Rating Change #4
Meredith Corporation (MDP) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- MDP's revenue growth trails the industry average of 13.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.0%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for MEREDITH CORP is rather high; currently it is at 60.50%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 6.10% trails the industry average.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.52, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Despite the fact that MDP's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.59, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs.
- After a year of stock price fluctuations, the net result is that MDP's price has not changed very much. Although its weak earnings growth may have played a role in this flat result, don't lose sight of the fact that the performance of the overall market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was essentially similar. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

- Name:
- Mr Felix Marco Conteh

- Thesis title:
- Governance Reforms in Sierra Leone: An Analysis of the Conception, Design and implementation of the Decentralization programme and its Impacts – A Political Economy Approach
- Year of Study:
- 4
Internal Supervisors
Felix Conteh is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Politics and International Studies at SOAS, University of London. His PhD analyses the origins, motives and implementation of Sierra Leone's decentralization programme, and its impacts. Felix has worked for Sierra Leone's Anti-Corruption Commission, where he served as Regional Manager until August 2010.
PhD ResearchThe dominant literature on decentralization in the developing world, largely focuses on the normative arguments that justify or critique the policy, especially in relation to efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery and its potential to embedding 'democracy'. However, little research has been conducted on the political economy front, to investigate the underlining and often very influential factors that remotely drive such programmes.
This research therefore attempts to explore the motivations of the various actors (the political class; donors, political parties, civil society and local politicians etc.), in pushing forward the decentralization agenda in Sierra Leone - investigating the incentives which influenced the various actors to decentralize or support the process. The study also investigates the extent to which decentralization may or may not have altered the political landscape, in relation to effective, accountable and strong local governance structures, capable of opening up spaces for citizens' participation in politics, planning and development.

Share Your Reflection

Yesterday I read a post in @HuffPostReligion by
Yesterday I read a post in @HuffPostReligion by @ChrisDStedman. He began by saying he is an atheist but his essay was a criticism of "strident" atheist activists. Somewhere around the middle of his essay he said he wanted to promote critical thinking, compassion and a few more "ideal" human characteristics. My tweet to him was, "Promote critical thinking..." without saying you're an atheist and you will contribute to our solution.
As I said in a post here yesterday I listened to your interview with Brueggemann and I am quite sure "Christian" was not mentioned once. You broke the spell today by mentioning "Christian" right after writing "the hard and life-giving work of letting go of comfort for the sake of what is important."
I am an life analyst. I don't know how long I will continue to promote the "ideal reaction to the void" before I conclude it's a waste of time and money. Until I quit I I will promote it here as long as I am tolerated. In the spirit of the season and your interview with Brueggemann I offer this Christmas wish:
May God bring learning up to speed
So tolerance we do not need.
Merry Christmas. http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poem/

Krista, if we follow WB in this interview and replace
Krista, if we follow WB in this interview and replace Spirit with "imagination" and "culture" and reduce the prophets to poets with a therapeutic concern for remaking our lives together have we taken God and God's living (not written) voice out of the picture? Or is God now some abstract process theological notion of loving creativity? How does this method differ from a kind of secular functionalist anthropological take? thanks, d.

As always, Krista Tippett's style and nudging are
As always, Krista Tippett's style and nudging are wonderful for the interviews. In response to her invitation to respond to something in what Mr. Brueggeman offered, I think right away of his characterization of the prophets as uncredentialed and from the "common folk". It
reinforces my desire and effort to honor all of those with whom I come in contact in my work in public schools.
Of course, the young will always offer the truth if we can listen; otherwise, remembering that great and important thought/inspiration can come from almost anyone comes out as well.

Thank you for sharing wonderful interview. As a lesbian
Thank you for sharing wonderful interview. As a lesbian who attended seminary life has never been very "settled" and faith has been my eternal hope in the now. Blessing to you all.

I always appreciate your wonderful conversations with
I always appreciate your wonderful conversations with inspiring people. In this interview I particularly admired Mr. Bruggeman's sharing that he appreciates the phrases and thought fragments that come out of him even if they're not part of a complete theological narrative. Like him, many of us are made up of parts that don't easily fit together but accepting the gifts from those parts is a good approach to take. Thank you.
