The Ballot Lottery, where the person you vote for only has a 50/50 odds of actually representing you, and even if they win, it doesn't matter, because the other party won't work with them anyway. So you always lose.
There really aren't any winners of the Ballottery.

I have tried to use the iCal instructions (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answers/icalendar/appleical.rtm) to add my Remember The Milk to-do's to BusyCal, but I get an "Unable to connect" error message. Has anyone had success with RTM in BusyCal?

Hi wsnyder,If you haven't done so already, you may want to try enabling Private Addresses (found under the General tab of the Setting screen).While some calendar apps (such as iCal) support authenticated iCalendar feeds, others (such as Google Calendar) don't. For applications that don't support authenticated feeds, you'll need to use the Private Addresses option instead. This page gives a bit more detail about it.Hope this helps!

The American Way to fix this is through money. Employers who cannot provide health and safety labelling and training in a language that their workers can understand will have to pay higher insurance premiums, since they will have more workplace accidents, when compared to companies that do provide such labelling and training.
That really is the only way to get things done in the US.
Now before anybody gets uppity about this, it infringes on nobodies freedoms, and is clear that this is morally right, so anybody who disagrees with me in in the wrong.
If a company in the US does not want to provide labelling and training in any language other than English, it need only recruit people with some competence in English. If it wants to recruit people regardless of competence in English, then it must provide labelling and training in other languages.
And I disagree with S.A.P.'s assertion that "safety materials are often written in university-level English". That's just not true. I worked in the US for five years, until recently, and the safety warnings were written in a register of English that my son (eleven years old when we left) could read and understand. They were written in what sometimes seemed a laborious and long-winded style, with a lot of repetition, but this betrayed the fact that they had at least been reviewed and approved by a committee including the company's general counsel and the Health and Safety officer.

The first-ever Special Olympics Unity Cup presented by Coca-Cola marks the beginning of a great journey between Special Olympics and long-time global partner, Coca-Cola.
Former South African National Football Team captain, Lucas Radebe, makes a play for the ball in the Unity Cup against "Happiness United" defenders in red - Maicon Santana from Special Olympics Brazil and Yacine Zabi from Special Olympics Algeria. Click on photo to see slideshow
For the first-time ever, athletes were welcomed on an actual FIFA World Cup pitch prior to a World Cup match to play on the same field that soccer stars from Germany and Argentina would play on just hours later. Celebrities, soccer legends and even the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, took to the field alongside 16 Special Olympics athlete teammates that hailed from all over the world.
On Saturday July 3rd, Special Olympics and Coca-Cola proudly shared in this historic moment at Cape Town Stadium that fittingly ended in a 2-2 draw. The two teams - named "Special Stars" and "Happiness United" - enjoyed a 20-minute match on the FIFA World Cup™ stadium pitch, which both Coca-Cola and Special Olympics executives hailed as the beginning of an incredible journey together.
During the first-ever Unity Cup, all four goals in the match were scored by Special Olympics athletes who demonstrated just how talented of soccer players they are. The first goal was scored by Manolis Tampakakis of Special Olympics Greece. Maicon Santana of Special Olympics Brazil then scored to tie the match at 1-1. Special Olympics Slovenia athlete Miran Brejc scored to put the "Special Stars" up 2-1. At the end of the match, Special Olympics Algeria athlete Yacine Zabi had his back to the goal, and leaped for an incredible scissor kick to score for "Happiness United" and tie the match for a final of 2-2. Yacine's scissor kick goal was talked about for hours and hours by his teammates following the match – even amidst the various language barriers, everyone realized just what a tremendous athletic feat he had accomplished.
"This was an incredible event and just the beginning," said Timothy P. Shriver, chairman and CEO of Special Olympics. "The world is hungry for unity as was seen first-hand with this match. People were brought together as one on this field and it just shows the incredible power of sport to bring people together. It also marks a big turning point in our relationship with our long-time partner Coca-Cola."
Since the establishment of Special Olympics in 1968, The Coca-Cola Company has been an Official Global Partner. Coca-Cola supports the movement in an effort to showcase the dignity and capacity of people with intellectual disabilities on a global stage. The Coca-Cola Company is a FIFA Partner and has had a formal association with the governing body for world football since 1974 and has been an official sponsor of every FIFA World Cup since 1978.
"We are excited to take this journey with Special Olympics, because it helps companies like ours to help in a meaningful way to create sustainable communities, and when we create sustainable communities we know we will have a sustainable business," said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-Cola Company. "This is the beginning of a journey; an exciting journey."
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

does anybody from ati actually read this page ?
oh well. talk about timely r600 support. it was supposed to be in a couple of releases ago.
i think ati is doing some kind of psychological warfare on its linux users. i am a patient ati user but i've already given up hope for performance improvement and aiglx. i just want xorg and kernel compatiblity, since i cannot afford to buy a different video card, at least right now.

Book 1
Civil and Topographical Engineering
April 4, 1868
Its proud lines intermittently visible through the early morning fog, the Light of the East might have been the most carefree ship that ever floated into Boston. Some of the sailors, their bearded faces browned and peeling from too much sun, cracked the last rations of walnuts in their fists or under their boot heels, singing some ancient song about a girl left behind. After wild March winds, stormy seas, dangerous ports, backbreaking work, and all the extremes of experience, they'd be handed a good pay at port, then freed to lose it to the city's myriad pleasures.
The navigator held the prow steady, his eye on his instruments, as they waited for the fog to disperse enough for their signal to be seen by the pilot boat. Although Boston Harbor stretched across seventy-five square miles, its channels had been so narrowed for purposes of defense that two large ships could not safely pass each other without the harbor pilot's assistance.
The Light's austere captain, Mr. Beal, strode the deck, his rare aura of high contentment amplified by the giddiness of his men. Beal could envision in his mind's eye the pilot boat breaking through the fog toward them, the pilot dressed like an undertaker, saluting indifferently and relieving Beal—for once—of his burdens. Then would come the view of the stretches of docks and piers, the solid granite warehouses never quite large enough for all the foreign cargo brought in by the merchants, then beyond that the State House's gold dome capping the horizon—the glittering cranium of the world's smartest city.
In the last few years, with so many men returned from fighting the rebellion, even modest Boston merchants had become veritable industrialists, beset as they were by excess hands. This city had prided itself on its history from the time it was little more than a quaint village, but Beal was old enough to know how artificial its modern visage was. Hills that formerly sloped through the city had been flattened, their detritus used to fill in various necks and bays, the foundations for streets and new neighborhoods and wharves such as the one that soon would welcome them. He could remember when the Public Garden was plain mud marking Boston's natural boundary.
A steam pipe bellowed from some unseen ship launching on its way or maybe, like them, gliding toward a journey's end, and Beal felt a solemn comradeship with all unknown voyagers. As he glimpsed the crescent moon and thought he would soon have enough light even in this nasty fog to lay course, his pleasant reverie was broken by a bright light flashing low in the water. When the captain craned forward, a lifeboat caught in the current, right in the path of their prow, sprang out from the mist.
His lookout cried out while Beal seized his speaking trumpet and shouted orders to change course. A woman's scream floated up. The schooner veered adroitly in efforts to avoid the small craft, but too late. The lifeboat's passengers jumped for their lives as their boat split into pieces against the Light's prow, the screaming woman thrusting a small child above the waves. To the shock of the captain, another obstacle broke through the dense curtain of fog on the schooner's starboard side: a pleasure steamer, with its flags flying the signals of distress, and taking on water.
"Clear lower deck!" Beal shouted.
Light of the East had nowhere to go. The side of its hull grazed and then caught the stranded steamship, right through the forward bulkhead: Pipes snapped and scalding-hot steam rushed into the heavy air as the hold of the schooner was ripped open. Now it, too, took on water, fast.
Chaos reigned on and off the ships. Beal snapped an order to throw the cargo overboard and repeated it sharply when his men hesitated. If they didn't unload right now, they would lose not only their profits, but also the ship and likely lives.
"Captain! There!" called his lookout.
Beal stared in astonishment from the railing as a stray breeze parted the fog. The wharf loomed ahead, but it was now clear they were approaching it from the wrong angle, parallel instead of perpendicular. Incredulously, the captain extended his spyglass. A bark flying British colors had wrecked against the tip of one of the piers and caught fire, while another schooner, marked the Gladiator, had drifted against the wharf, where its crew feverishly tried to tow it in. As he watched, fiery debris spread to the Gladiator's sails, which an instant later were wreathed in flames.
At least half a dozen ships were visible in those few moments of clarity, and all were foundering in various states of distress across the once-orderly harbor, reverberating with shrieking whistles, bells, foghorns, and other desperate signals.
Beal frantically stumbled and slid on his way to the navigational instruments. The needle of the steering compass, held under glass by the wheel, spun around violently, as if bedeviled, while on his pocket compass the needle was 180 degrees off the mark—north was south. He'd sailed by these navigational instruments—finely tuned with the expertise of nineteen centuries—for his entire life as a seaman, and he knew there should be no way for them to fail all at once.
The pleasure steamer they had crashed into suddenly lurched forward with a boom. In seconds it was entirely underwater. Where it had been, a vortex opened, sucking under those already stranded in the water, and then spitting them out high into the air.
"To the lifeboats!" shouted Beal to his thunderstruck crew. "Find anyone alive and get as far away as you can!"
Submerged. As the waves soothed his naked body, his athletic strokes worked in concert with the rhythm of the current. The first week in April had not yet promised any warmth, the water still rather icy. But he willingly endured the chill ripping through his body for the better feeling swimming afforded him. It was a feeling of being alone but not lonely, a sense of freedom from all restrictions and control. Floating, kicking, somersaulting—try as he could to make noise, the water rendered him irrelevant.
Throughout his boyhood in a port town, he'd heard so many people spoken of as "lost at sea." Now it seemed to him the strangest turn of phrase. As long as he was in the water, he could not be lost. He could bask, bathe, disappear, and the water sheltered him as much in Boston as it had back home. Not that he ever felt homesick, as some of the other Institute students did who had come from outside Boston. He still traveled the forty miles back and forth to Newburyport by train every day to keep down living expenses, although it cost him more than an hour each way.
To his mother and stepfather, the Institute remained a strange detour from his good position at the machine shop, and a daily interruption to his help at home. His stepfather, James, had always been unhappy, plagued by a partial deafness in his left ear that made him shun all society and friends. He worked as a night watchman for a jeweler because he preferred the solitude and uneventful nature of the position. He assumed people were speaking ill of him because he could not hear what they said, which led him to the further conclusion that city life, being loud, was an evil cacophony of deceit. As for his mother, she was a religious zealot of the old Puritan kind who saw danger in urban life and no value to the son's studies in Boston.
Even now, when he was a senior, graduation a mere two and a half months away, they did not accept that he—Marcus Mansfield, of all people!—was a student at a college.
Marcus plunged his head back into the cool water, ears tingling as he surveyed the river—a tranquil and forgiving lane that ran between Boston and Cambridge, lined by a gentle, sloping green sward that would shade swimmers and oarsmen from the hot days to come. Unseen behind the thick weather, above the riverbank and the fields and marshes skirting it, there lurked the crowded brick and iron and gold-domed city, propelling Marcus forward with the powerful thrust of a gigantic engine.
At the shallow bend of the river Marcus took another big breath and sank, closing his eyes and relishing the drop. Down below, pieces of debris and lumber had lodged in the muddy riverbed. As he brushed against the foreign articles, he heard a voice beckon, distant, as though issued from the sky:
"Mansfield! Mansfield! We need you!"
Marcus bobbed up from under the water and then grabbed onto the side of a boat.
"Mansfield! There you are! You're late."
"How did you know I was swimming?"
"How did we—? Ha! Because I saw a pile of clothes back there on the shore, and who else would dare plunge into this freezing Styx!" The tall, blond oarsman dangled a suit of clothes above Marcus's head. "Actually, it was Eddy who recognized your clothes."
"Morning, Marcus," said the second, smaller oarsman with his usual open smile.
"And since Eddy and I were both ready," continued Bob, "we pushed out to find you."
"Then you were early," said Marcus, treading water toward the bank, "before I was late."
"Ha! I'll take that. Get dressed—we need our third oar."
He shook himself dry on the bank and climbed into his gray trousers and light shirt. His two companions presented a study in opposites as they helped him into their boat: Bob, with the quintessential New Englander's clear skin and crown of handsome curls, standing carelessly at the edge of the shell; Edwin Hoyt, slight and frail-looking, throwing the little weight he possessed to the other side in anticipation of a tragic drowning.
Despite knowing the water and boats pretty well, Marcus had not grown up indulging in such impractical pursuits as rowing for pleasure, with its arbitrary rules and catchwords. Some weeks before, Bob had announced one morning, "This is the day, fellows!" to Marcus and Edwin, their fellow Institute of Technology senior, as he bounded ahead of them on the way to a lecture.
"Which day?"
"Spring is here, Mansfield, and since it's our last one at the college it's time I showed you rowing just as I promised. Why, I hardly knew one end of the oar from the other until I was nine years old. A scrawny boy I was, the smallest Richards ever!" This served to emphasize what a commanding twenty-two-year-old Bob had become. Marcus could not actually recall Bob promising to teach them, but let that pass, given Bob's enthusiasm.
To his surprise, Marcus found rowing not to be the wasted time he expected, and it took his mind away from worrying about the looming future away from the Institute. It was at once calming and exciting, a thrill when the shell launched across the surface of the water as though alive. They tried to recruit more oars among their classmates to join them, but the few willing candidates never did find time.
As their small vessel pushed steadily along, Bob began laughing to himself. "I was just thinking of my brothers," he explained. "They used to warn me about the sea serpent of the Charles. Nearly one hundred feet long, they said, with humps like a camel and a cry like a braying donkey crossed with an elephant's trumpeting. You know how I have to take it upon myself to investigate anything in nature. Well, for three months I searched out old Charley, until I determined that the water wouldn't sustain a sea serpent's diet."
"But how did you know what a sea serpent ate?" Edwin asked seriously.
"Bob, would you mind rowing farther east today?" Marcus proposed.
"A quest! Where to?"
"I haven't seen the harbor since . . ." Marcus did not finish his sentence.
"Better not to, Marcus," Edwin said quickly. "I caught sight of it this morning after it was all over. The whole harbor was up in smoke. It was like looking into the face of a bad omen."
"Eager to see the destruction?"
"Actually, Bob, I was hoping to learn something from seeing how they begin the repairs," Marcus corrected him. "There is already some debris on the riverbed that must have drifted on the current." He stopped when he saw Bob's face narrow as he looked out on the water behind them. "What is it?"
"Just my luck," Bob said. "Faster, fellows! Go! Come on, Mansfield, faster! Well rowed, Hoyt! All clear, come on!"
A forty-nine-foot shell had shot out of the trees sheltering a narrow adjoining channel with the speed of a lightning bolt. Six flashing oars creased the surface of the river in synchronized strokes, throwing off white streaks behind them. The rowers were bare from the waist up, with crimson handkerchiefs wrapped around their heads, and their flexing muscles glistened in the strengthening sun. As Marcus peered back at them, they looked like highly educable pirates, and he knew it would be a lost cause to attempt to elude whatever this boat was.
"Who are they?" he marveled.
"Blaikie," Bob explained as the three of them pulled as hard as they could. "His is the best Harvard six there ever was, they say. Will Blaikie—he's the stroke oar. I'd rather stare into the mouth of the serpent."
Edwin wheezed between strokes, "Blaikie . . . was . . . at Exeter . . . with Bob and me."
The other vessel came on with a spurt too powerful to shake, now just a length behind.
"Plymouth!" cried the lantern-jawed lead rower on the lightning bolt. The boat went by theirs and then reversed and ranged alongside of them.
"Why, it is you, Plymouth!" said the stroke oar, Blaikie, to Bob with a gleaming smile. Even seated in his shell, he presented the particular mincing swagger of a Harvard senior. "It's been ages. You're not forming a randan team, are you?"
"We've been borrowing a shell from the boat club," said Bob, motioning for his friends to stop rowing. Marcus could not remember seeing his classmate so deflated.
"Don't tell me you're still dragging your heels over at that embryo of a college, Plymouth?" Blaikie asked.
"We are seniors now, like you."
"Tant pis pour vous," interjected one of the Harvard boys, eliciting chuckles from the others.
"I fear civilizing your classmates into respectable gentlemen will take more than teaching them to grip an oar," Blaikie went on cheerfully. "Science cannot substitute for culture, old salt. I used to agonize, Plymouth, what I would most rather be, stroke of the Harvard, president of the Christian Brethren, or First Scholar of the class. Now I know what it is to be all three." He was reminded by one of his oarsmen not to forget president of one of the best college societies. "Yes, Smithy! But it is best not to speak of the societies to outsiders."
"We are doing things far more important—things you wouldn't begin to understand, Blaikie."
"Just how many of you Technology boys are there?"
Throwing out his chest, Bob answered, "Fifteen men in the Class of '68. About thirty-five in the other three classes, and we expect more than ever in the next freshman group."

1. A major theme of the novel is the end of the Civil War and its lasting reverberations. Discuss the impact of the war on various characters— whether via their direct participation or through their failure to actively take part—and how society was changed as a whole. Compare and con- trast Marcus and Frank, whose wartime experiences transformed them in vastly different ways.
2. Agnes Turner and Ellen Swallow both wish to gain entrance to a world that has traditionally been closed off to them, and each faces her own set of challenges in doing so—Agnes in breaking free from her fam- ily's expectations, and Ellen in the fierce ostracism she faces from her classmates. While this attitude toward women may have been customary for the era, were there any aspects of it that particularly surprised you? On the other hand, what characters or trends ran against the prevail- ing sensibilities? Did you ever feel that Agnes and Ellen were treated unjustly within the special microcosm represented by the Technologists society? How might the members' feelings toward their female cohorts have evolved over time?
3. One reviewer called Marcus Mansfield "an American archetype—the plucky outsider" who pulled himself up by his bootstraps to lead
the charge of technological advancement. What does this say about what it means to be an American and, based on that, are there any other characters who might also qualify as an "archetype"? Why or why not? How is Marcus's situation echoed by other elements of the novel?
4. The clash of religion versus technology—faith versus reason—is a key conflict within the novel. At one point, Agassiz accuses Edwin of not believing in God because he also sympathizes with Darwin's the- ory of evolution. On a larger scale, Tech is condemned for not requir- ing its students to attend chapel—to which Marcus responds, "Our laboratories are our chapels. . . . It is not a matter of holding religious sentiment." What is the significance of Tech maintaining a separation between the church and the institution of education, and how might this have enabled its students to maintain ties to both pursuits? Are there elements in the novel that suggest the two must be mutually exclusive? Does Harvard's stressing the importance of religious practice somehow ground it in the traditional ideals that MIT was striving to transcend? How does the tension between science and religion embody some of the novel's greater themes?
5. The novel explores the idea that those who own technology also own power, whether that power is used for good or for evil. Similarly, it examines the fear that science will advance so quickly that mankind will essentially become the "tools of our tools." Do you think this struggle for power goes hand in hand with technological progress, and do you see this as still being an issue in the twenty-first century?
6. Matthew Pearl is known for his colorful metaphors and references. At one point, he draws an allusion to the book of Genesis, in which we're told there is a flaming sword placed to the east of the Garden of Eden so that mankind would never be allowed to enter again. Did you make anything of Cheshire's deeming himself the "avenging angel" whose tongue is a "flaming sword"? Elsewhere, did you see any significance in Frank's Ichabod Crane sculpture and its destruction at the hands of the Med Fac members? Were there other metaphors and images that you found especially resonant?
7. Several of the characterizations were inspired by Pearl's research into actual Tech students—Bob Richards and Edwin Hoyt were real people, Marcus and Hammie are compilations of several Tech boys, Ellen Swallow was the first female to attend the college, and, of course, William Barton Rogers was the original founder, among others. How did these renderings inform your reading and what did you find most interesting or unexpected about these individuals? How would you compare or contrast these students and their world with today's aca- demic precincts?
8. Did you find that Marcus had a stronger loyalty to MIT as a "working-class" student than those who came from more privileged up- bringings? How else did you see the class struggle manifest, both within and outside of Tech?
9. Were you surprised to learn that MIT wasn't granted the power to present degrees until weeks before its first graduation, even though it had been seven years since the college was founded? How does this co- incide with the following claim: "Those who embrace the new sciences, who experiment forthrightly and dare search for truth, will be seen as harboring secrets and dark intentions. Science explains so much, any- thing unexplained is pinned to it." Do you think there's a tendency to try to limit the boundaries of scientific exploration, and what can be gained or lost by doing so? What else about this period in education struck you?
10. Ellen tells Bob that her father has always lived by the motto, "Where any one else has been, there I can go," to which she responds, "It was not a bad working motto, but I like to think adventurous spirits do what has never been done before. That is a pioneer." Discuss how the defini- tion of a pioneer is exemplified throughout the novel, both in terms of characters and institutions. Are there any who might fit the bill even though their intentions are unsavory?
11. Like The Technologists, Matthew Pearl's first three novels—The Dante Club, The Poe Shadow, and The Last Dickens—have all been
set primarily in the vibrant milieu of mid- to late-nineteenth-century America. What scenes and motifs from The Technologists were the most memorable to you, and did you draw any similarities to these prior works? The Technologists might also be said to be somewhat of a depar- ture from Pearl's other novels, which are all rooted in literary history. What do you make of his transition into the realm of historical science and education?
12. Were you surprised when the source of the catastrophes was re- vealed? How do you interpret the motivation and psychological turmoil behind it? What do you think it is that makes some characters abuse their superior knowledge of science and technology, while others who are equally as capable are never tempted to use these tools as a means to exert their authority?

Definition: The result of having sex or masturbating vigorously and going to sleep without washing up. Upon waking up, genitals may be firmly stuck to thighs, other genitals, or simply glued shut, depending on gender and sleeping position. The only cure is a hot shower, and the only prevention is a handy towel.
Example: I woke up with morning glue after banging Sally last night. I had to peel my junk off my thigh just to walk to the shower.

This small ottoman is perfect for the space I had. The inside storage is small, but still useful. The color is more gold than beige, which worked out better for me, since it matched the chair better. There's nothing wrong with the fabric --- I just don't care for it, but the ottoman has met all my expectations.
I was initially excited due to shipping sooner than expected. I first noticed the color wasn't how I thought and then one of the nail heads is missing on the cover. other than that it's comfortable and convenient.
Quality of these ottomans is good, about what you might see at better discount home stores. Price also comparable to these stores. I am using them to store kids backpacks when they get home from school. A jacket can sometimes be crammed in there too. They are too short to serve as chairs at a standard height, but I may be able to add casters to the bottom. Generally they are attractive and keep my floors picked up. The cushion on top is soft, but not terribly dense. If you sat on it a lot, it might start to compress. Color is a little bit more gold, but microfiber fabric seems sturdy.
Attractive and well made. I would purchase this item again.
I would cautiously recommend. I needed an ottoman, I needed storage space, and since we just went through a lengthy, international move, I needed to count my pennies. I thought it would look a bit more elegant than it does, however. I thought it would look more velvet and less burlap, which it does. It works in my space and it was the right price, so we'll work with it for now. But I'll replace it in a year or two.
Great Ottoman very sturdy and nicely made love the storage on the inside. Fabric on the outside is a nice linen look very durable fabric.
Cute ottomans, nice size, love the curved sides, color is more of gold-like ivory.
Nice looking well made ottoman. It looks terrific with my loveseat and was just the added touch I was looking for. I had originally bought a square one but wasn't happy with it so I gave it to my Grandson and ordered this one from Overstock. I love it!

Antiretroviral Regimens Containing Raltegravir for Prophylaxis of Mother-to-child-transmission of HIV Infection (PregnantHIV)

- How to Read a Study Record
The current available antiretroviral (ARV) agents make possible a successful treatment of virtually all HIV-infected patients, even those heavily experienced subjects, with a history of previous failure to ARV drugs of different classes. However, some problems are still present, especially for specific populations, like pregnant women and infants. For these groups, most of currently available drugs are not used, because the lack of information on safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic/dynamic behavior of ARVs drugs. The mother to child transmission (MTCT) is still a problem in certain areas of the world, especially in resource-limited settings. In some settings, women often present to their first antenatal care visit late in the pregnancy, posing an additional problem: how to effectively treat these patients to assure they will have an undetectable viral load at the moment of delivering? Depending on the plasma viremia magnitude, and viral susceptibility it can take 6 or more weeks to reduce the viral load to less than the desired 1,000 copies of HIV-1 RNA / ml of plasma. To achieve this goal, it would be necessary the use of a potent, very efficacious ARV regimen that could provide such viral decay in a very short period. Raltegravir (RAL), the first HIV-1 integrase inhibitor, is a potent and safe ARV drug. The available evidence suggest it has no genotoxic potential, and promotes a rapid decline in HIV-1 plasma viremia. In addition, RAL is highly active against viral strains presenting different degree of resistance to other ARV drugs. Thus, RAL could be an ideal candidate to be used for prevention of MTCT for women with detectable viral load, presenting late in the course of pregnancy. Another attractive point is to consider that, due to the similarity between the integrase enzyme of HIV-1 and HTLV; RAL could be active against HTLV-1, blocking its replication. If our hypothesis is correct, the use f RAL-containing ARV regimens would reduce the MTCT of both agents. This study has the objective of evaluating the efficacy of RAL containing ARV regimens in reducing the HIV-1 RNA plasma viral load below 50 copies/ml, at the end of pregnancy, for late-presenters pregnant women and to compare the frequency of adverse events for women using RAL-based ARV regimens and comparators, and for their babies.

"I'm Agent Coulson, and I could kick Agent Smith's ass. Questions?"
Marvel and Walt Disney have announced that there will be a first look at Marvel's Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. this Sunday night. The first look will air during the season finale of Once Upon a Time. Set your DVR's for 8:00 PM ET/PT and ABC. Check out the first cast photo below!
Synopsis: Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).

"I'm Agent Coulson, and I could kick Agent Smith's ass. Questions?"
Does this show take place before or after the Avengers? And I wasn't entirely convinced that they killed him off....they never showed his body...
Life Model Decoy anyone? Maybe that will be a long standing mystery, is it Coulson that died on the helicarrier or an LMD? My question is, will we see any cameos from the tight wearing or eye patch wearing crowd as this goes on? Will we catch a glimpse of George St. Pierre as Batroc the Leaper at some point or maybe some other low life villain that isn't quite important enough to make it into a Marvel movie? Will a third tier Avenger that isn't silver screen bound show up every so often to remind you this is a world with heroes and villains that play dress up? I hope so!
cinemaman the Coulson death was thrown into doubt from the very moment Fury broke out the set of cards. Could be just like soloshot suggests
I may sit through the mediocrity of OUAT to catch a first look. OUAT is on and off for me but then again it is the seaso finale
If its set after The Avengers then him coming back is bull and messes up The Avengers but then again the Avengers came together over bloody playing cards so that already had messed the movie up.
OUAT season finale will feature Neverland so looking forward to that.
Any word as to whether or not Sam Jackson as Fury will cameo in the series?
I have to admit I wasn't initially too hyped for this, but I'm kinda starting to build up at least a bit of curiosity. Not sure I'll catch the first look tomorrow night, but I'll certainly check out the premiere.
What are the odds that the first season finale will include a certain Lawyer getting involved in an accident and getting a blood tranfusion from her less than happy cousin?
