It's Later Than You Think
Po Knows: In his second novel, Po Bronson explores a
An interview with author Po Bronson
By Larry Smith
Po Bronson writes what he knows. When he started writing an as yet unpublished fantasy involving animals and social order, he studied vertebrate biology to make sure his protagonists could move the way he described them. His masterfully crafted, highly caffeinated peek into the world of investment banking, Bombardiers, derived from his years working in that world. When he got curious about computers, he took a course on how to build one. Here, while clearly labeled as fiction, his new novel is the result of his desire to learn about the psyche of the people behind those magic boxes, in large part derived from his experiences and interviews conducted as a journalist peering into Silicon Valley for Wired, New York Times Magazine and Forbes ASAP. The First 20 Million Is Always the Hardest is Bronson's way of telling the stories of the dreamers, the behind the scenes "iron men" that do the backbreaking work and receive little of the credit.
While the topics he chooses to write about are certainly rife with nasty underbellies, Bronson explores, rather than attacks, his subjects. In an early essay he writes, "I came of age in Silicon Valley, during its gold rush glory years, 1982 through 1986, while I studied Economics at Stanford. It was the new California, the land of dreams and the dreamy, the age of entrepreneurism." The First 20 Million Is Always the Hardest reveals a writer debunking whatever myths he -- we -- once held about the Tech Dream. And yet in this tale of ego and deceit (and more than a little naiveté), the author remains surprisingly hopeful.
At magazines like Wired (where he serves as a regular feature writer), industry publications and the mainstream media, the stories that get told are usually about the powerful, the precious few who carry the biggest stick and make the sexy decisions. In many ways, this true fiction foray into Silicon Valley, perhaps the most pomped and circumstanced area in America, is a journalist's response to the stories that are not being told.
Mo' Po' -- links to interviews and articles about Po Bronson.
Or go back to The First 20 Million excerpt.
Metro's online editor, Larry Smith, talked with Po Bronson about his second novel, the thrills and horrors of the high-tech world and why, oh why, Suck.com thinks he should be tarred and feathered.
Metro: Why did you decide to write about Silicon Valley?
Po Bronson: Well, it was a confluence of events. My backyard pool needed a new paint job, and the Bentley was in the shop, and have you seen the price of Cuban cigars lately? Not to mention my stock portfolio had only gone up 14 percent in the year. So, you can understand--I was feeling poor. You know--asset rich, but cash poor. I needed money. I thought, 'Hey, you write for Wired, maybe you can dupe some New York publisher into thinking you're qualified to write a novel about high tech!' I took their money and hired a ghostwriter for far less. Hey, it's a business. Take the money and run.
Metro: Okay, I suppose I was asking for it. How about enlightening our good readers about your computer curiosity, and what that brought to your head, and eventually, your novel?
Po Bronson: I was taking a class at San Francisco State on how to build computers, and the instructor began to talk about the Pentium chip. As most of you know, but I was just learning, the Pentium is really just two 486 chips side by side. With the proper software, computing should be done in parallel on the two chips. But most Windows applications were still 16-bit versions which didn't support parallel processing. So for most of those Pentium chips out there in the world, one of those two 486 chips was sitting idly, dormant as a bear in hibernation. Oh, there are all sorts of other advancements that make a Pentium faster than a single 486, the clock speed and motherboard circuitry and memory caches, but still--the Pentium performance was being wasted. And sitting there in class on a rainy Saturday, I couldn't help but wonder about the team of engineers who had designed the Pentium. How did they feel, that their elegant chip--which was being trumped-up in advertisements during the Super Bowl--was actually going to waste? This was the inspiration for Francis Benoit, a master chip designer burning with resentment over his last design being wasted running 16-bit software, looking for revenge.
Metro: Is the idea for the creation of $300 computer, and a group of engineers splitting off when confronted by the wall of management, inspired by an actual case?
Po Bronson: The Random House legal department has instructed me to state, for the record, that 'this is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons is entirely coincidental.' Coincidental! Like they expect readers to believe that?
I have friends and sources inside many of the big Silicon Valley companies, and a lot at startups, and in the money side, too: investment bankers, VCs. Before writing a word, I did 100 interviews. That said, Random House lawyers have told me this is a work of complete fiction. Make of that what you will.
The question is, how well does it approximate reality? Obviously, the story is streamlined, it's like a fable. In 300 pages we go from idea to IPO. But does it capture the mood, the nature, the essence of the Valley today? Is that real? I hope so.
Metro: Is the $300 computer possible? Will WebTV be the "killer ap" that brings the Web, at least and at last, to the masses?
Po Bronson: It could, but it won't. There will be too much product confusion, frustrating consumers. If there were one standard $300-$500 product, then it would be a hit.
Metro: Your characters are obsessed with games -- the infinite loops, the 10 woman game, etc. -- needing to break things down until they are accessible in an almost mathematical way. Is that systemic of a certain kind of "engineer's logic" or simply your take on geeks' playfulness?
Po Bronson: It's what people with big brains do to burn up extra brainpower. It's an expression of restlessness, sort of like a couple good ol' boys wasting the afternoon shooting beer bottles on a fence with a rifle.
Metro: How has the reception to your book been among the Silicon Valley digerati?
Po Bronson: Best anecdote: The editor of Suck.com doesn't believe that a book about Silicon Valley can be literature--something about how the Valley is all hype and little reality, and literature is about getting at what's real. She presumed I was paid a big advance for this novel--she resented that I might have capitalized on the industry's hype--when in fact I was paid only what my first novel earned.
Well, she held a little cocktail party in the Wired offices, with the intention of ridiculing my book. She'd printed out enlarged paper masks of my face. She wanted everyone to wear a Po Bronson mask. Not many did.
Metro: Okay, let's go on the assumption that mask or no mask, you are a pretty literate individual. What books influenced The First 20 Million?
Po Bronson: Lots of them. I wanted to update Soul of a New Machine to the 1990's, and the biggest difference between then and now is the degree to which business strategies and power games are such a huge factor in what gets made and purchased. Tracy Kidder's account is all about the engineers' can-do attitude, and all about how hard they work, and all about the technical problems they solve, but almost nothing about getting a product to market, financing the company, selling it, et cetera. Similarly, I loved Microserfs, but while reading it I craved more intrigue and information about this 3-D Lego startup.
Another influence was Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. The phrase is invoked a lot in Silicon Valley. Engineers talk about whether they have "the right stuff" to succeed. I don't know how many of them have read the book, but I wanted the opening chapters of my novel to capture that we-are-the-holy-and-chosen tone of Tom Wolfe's narration. Gradually, as my book shifts from idealism to reality, that tone disappears.
Metro: There have been buzzings that more than one Mercury News reporter has been curious who you are depicting with your character Nell Kirkham? Did you have someone in particular in mind?
Po Bronson: The Time magazine article hinted at that. Several Merc reporters called me, objecting to the derogatory characterization. Two I'd never met before, and so certainly couldn't have been the basis for the character. The third is an old acquaintance of mine, and she admitted that, like the Nell Kirkham character, she's always asking her interview subjects "how they feel about their work." In truth, though, the character is me, and her situation is one I've been in, trying to get at the personality drama behind a technology while all the engineers want to talk about is the technology.
Metro: In an author's note at the end of the book that you were thinking about calling the book "Not Gates." Why not?
Po Bronson: Random House didn't think it sounded like a novel.
Metro: Can you expand on that?
Po Bronson: There is an important double-entendre to "Not Gates," though. The basis of the computer is the silicon transistor, three layers of silicon that can hold a small electrical charge. Transistors are connected into three types of simple logic gates: the AND gate, the OR gate, and the NOT gate. The function of a NOT gate is to turn a 1 into a 0. When electrical power comes into a NOT gate, the charge is cancelled.
While investigating the power dynamics of Silicon Valley on assignment for Wired magazine, I kept hearing stories that represented, in effect, NOT gates: entrepreneurs who had been impeded, cheated, or cancelled by the gatekeepers of power. Unfortunately, their experiences were also NOT stories, certainly not magazine stories, which are more about the powerful than the powerless, more about those companies who went public than all those who went belly up. So in order to expose the NOT gates, I turned to fiction.
Maybe this book is about Bill Gates implicitly. By having masterminded a near monopoly on desktop computer operating systems, he is the ultimate gatekeeper of power in Silicon Valley. More than any other person, he decides which gates are AND, which are OR, and which are NOT. What was going on in Silicon Valley in 1995 was that thousands of enterprising minds were busily negotiating his gates, attempting to pass through. By 1996, though, things were different. Quite suddenly, so many of those enterprising minds were attempting to bypass Gates' gates entirely, inventing a new paradigm of technology that ignored operating systems. If they couldn't go through, they would go around. It was an inspiring surge of can-do ingenuity.
Metro: What are the similarities between the worlds of investment banking you wrote about in your first novel, Bombardiers, and the hi-tech scene in The First 20 Million?
Po Bronson: A lot of money is being made, and few people really know what is going on.
Metro: Is this the place where it is all happening, the (if you'll pardon the expression) "new Hollywood?"
Po Bronson: Is this industry the new Hollywood? Well, if your description of Hollywood is 'a business where they throw huge amounts of money at projects that are over-budget, late, and likely to bust,' then yes, Silicon Valley is the new Hollywood.
Metro: But engineers are becoming something of celebs in the late '90s. Perhaps they are the new "rock stars"?
Po Bronson: Hardly. Music goes for the gut, engineering for the noggin. I don't get a tear in my eye when I load up Netscape, and I don't get up and dance when I connect to America Online. We'll never be hearing about Andreeson tearing up hotel rooms, or about how Larry Ellison has got some love child. Those guys have got too much work to do to get in trouble and entertain us.
Metro: What's next?
Po Bronson: Back to writing for Wired for a year. I'm very, very late on some articles.

HTC J Butterfly and Asus Padfone 2 are two of the latest smartphones to make a noise among gadget watchers recently.
Both phones come in phablet form. Both devices also boast of powerful quad-core processor and robust onboard memory. For alternative smartphones, HTC J Butterfly and Asus Padfone 2 have packed enough features to be noticed. But which gadget has more perks, and what "fine detail" must you know?
HTC J Butterfly Perks and Caveat
The HTC J Butterfly features a 5-inch 1080p full HD display, 443 pixels per inch (ppi). In English, it is like squeezing a luxury HD screen into pocket size, but the crystal clear quality remains the same.
The HTC J Butterfly is powered by Quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor (1.5GHz) with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage (expandable with micro SD). A smartphone boasting of a quad-core is worth trying if only to discover another level of user-smartphone compatibility.
The HTC J Butterfly comes in red. This has to be a feature. So much for black and white. A passionate red colour should get as much attention as directed to the serious black and the very clean white.
Caveat: The HTC J Butterfly will be exclusively available via KDDI in Japan. See the gadget photos at micgadget.com.
Asus Padfone 2 Perks and Caveat
The Asus Padfone 2 features a 4.7in 720p Super IPS+ display with 550 nits of brightness. In English, its screen is bigger than regular smartphones' (hence, people call it a phablet). And its screen resolution can compete strongly with other devices.
The Asus Padfone 2 is powered by quad-core Qualcomm, with choices of onboard memory: 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB. You can trust the quad-core to run fast. Just cross your fingers for the gadget's operating system to meet the speed and render fluid processing of the applications.
The Asus Padfone 2 comes with a 13MP camera. (HTC J Butterfly has 8MP, with a wide F2.0 aperture for low-light shooting). If you are the type who prints out photos, you are not supposed to have poor quality prints with the Padfone 2.
Caveat: The Padfone 2 will have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box. Uh-oh, Ice Cream Sandwich is out of date relative to the latest Android devices. However, an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean upgrade is coming up. See the gadget photos at stuff.tv.
It is difficult to get over the 5-inch 1080p full HD display of the HTC J Butterfly. If you are heavy on the visuals, this is the kind of stuff you would want to -- at the very least -- try. Pitted against another device running with Ice Cream Sandwich, the contest ends quickly there. You just hope the HTC J Butterfly could ship internationally pretty soon.

HOUSTON The season from hell continues for the Houston Texans.
A sexually explicit video posted on rookie receiver Deandre Hopkins Instagram account set off a Twitter firestorm Wednesday morning.
The video was deleted within minutes.
Hopkins girlfriend quickly posted an explanation on his @Nukdabomb Twitter account: Instagram was hacked, this is his girlfriend he s in meetings with no phone, have some respect ppl.
Hopkins later said he was at practice when the video was posted.
It s not my genitals, he told KHOU 11 News reporter Sherry Williams.
The first round draft pick appeared to be taking the whole thing in stride.
I wasn t upset at all because I have no need to be upset about something that was not me, Hopkins said. Yeah, it s funny that somebody would take time out of their day to do that.
Hopkins said some of his teammates saw the pictures and are giving him a hard time.
These like my brothers. My brothers would joke about this.
Fans also responded with a fury of bad puns, sexual innuendos and, in some cases, angry retorts on social media.
Hopkins said he learned a lesson thanks to the hacker: Make a harder password, first of all. That s the only thing I can do to prevent another situation like this.

Canning sweet potatoes
I have A LOT of sweet potatoes and I was wondering if I can use a water bath to can the mashed sweet potatoes or do I have to do it in a pressure cooker?
Thanks |

Re: Canning sweet potatoes
They must be pressure canned or you risk food poisoning. I've read some on this and also know that you can't safely canned mashed or large chunks of sweet potatoes. Jackie Clay of Backwoods Home Magazine has canned them and you can search for her advice on this.

Re: Canning sweet potatoes
Room to Grow, they also store wonderfully and will get sweeter over time.
If you don't want to store or pressure can them, you can bake them in big batches, scoop out the pulp and freeze it. http://www.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_...t+potatoes.htm |

Re: Canning sweet potatoes
You won't go wrong with canning them. Lots of different recipes! I use them for ingredients in soup, bread, and just eating. But absolutely! PRESSURE can them.

Re: Canning sweet potatoes
You must pressure can sweet potatoes as they are low acid. And if you can them it must be in cut up chunks, not mash or puree as the latter is too dense to insure proper heat penetration for killing pathogens. You can freeze mash or puree for sweet potatoes, pumpkin, winter squash very well, in quantities needed for your recipes. I use frozen puree for pies, muffins, breads, cakes, etc. You can also blanch and dehydrate small cubes of sweet potatoes. The easiest method is to cure them, in moderate temp and high humidity for a couple of weeks and then put them into cold storage (root cellaring) and eat them "fresh" until you finish with them.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, Democrats believe every day is April 15th Ronald Regan |

South Africa is one of the countries most severely affected by HIV/AIDS. At the peak of the epidemic, the government, going against consensus scientific opinion, argued that HIV was not the cause of AIDS and that antiretroviral (ARV) drugs were not useful for patients and declined to accept freely donated nevirapine and grants from the Global Fund. Using modeling, we compared the number of persons who received ARVs for treatment and prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission between 2000 and 2005 with an alternative of what was reasonably feasible in the country during that period. More than 330,000 lives or approximately 2.2 million person-years were lost because a feasible and timely ARV treatment program was not implemented in South Africa. Thirty-five thousand babies were born with HIV, resulting in 1.6 million person-years lost by not implementing a mother-to-child transmission prophylaxis program using nevirapine. The total lost benefits of ARVs are at least 3.8 million person-years for the period 2000-2005.
South Africa is one of the countries most severely affected by the AIDS epidemic. According to Joint United Nations Programme on HIV AIDS (UNAIDS), the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the adult population is 18.8% with approximately 5.5 million persons infected with HIV. In 2005, it is estimated that about 320,000 persons died of AIDS, almost 900 deaths per day. Approximately 1.2 million children younger than 17 years have lost 1 or both parents due to the epidemic.1
In 1999, President Thabo Mbeki, under pressure to provide zidovudine (ZDV or AZT) for prevention of mother- to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) and AIDS treatment, announced that the drug was toxic and dangerous to health and that the government was not going to provide it.2 He then questioned whether HIV was the cause of AIDS, and this broadened the debate from the usefulness of ZDV to the usefulness of all antiretroviral (ARV) drugs in fighting the AIDS epidemic because they all target HIV.3 President Mbeki's government restricted the use of freely donated nevirapine4 and obstructed the acquisition of Global Fund grants.5 The facts of the case have never been denied.
Except among very few scientists, such as Peter Duesberg, the scientific community has accepted HIV as the cause of AIDS for more than 20 years.6 HIV satisfies all 3 of Koch's postulates, the traditional standard of infectious disease causation,7 and all of Sir Bradford Hill's epidemiological guidelines for assessing causality.8 ZDV was tested for AIDS treatment in controlled randomized clinical trials,9 and its side effects were clearly documented and disclosed.10 Later studies showed that in combination with other drugs, therapy was very efficacious, resulting in the name highly active antiretroviral therapy for triple-drug cocktails.11 ZDV was tested for PMTCT of HIV in a randomized clinical trial that showed much benefit and little risk.12 The consensus is that ZDV's benefits very much outweigh its side effects, and its use was approved worldwide by regulatory authorities and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNAIDS, and the US Centers for Disease Control.
We contend that the South African government acted as a major obstacle in the provision of medication to patients with AIDS. To estimate the lost benefits of ARV drug use in South Africa, we compared the actual number of persons who received ARVs for treatment or PMTCT between 2000 and 2005 with what was reasonably feasible in the country during that period. The difference, multiplied by the average efficacy of ARV treatment or PMTCT prophylaxis gives us the lost benefits of ARV use. The intention is to estimate only the lost benefits attributable to the decisions made by the leaders of the South African government. Our overriding values in choosing methods were transparency and minimization of assumptions, and we were purposely conservative.
To estimate the number of persons for whom it was reasonably feasible to use ARVs for treatment or PMTCT, we considered (1) the reduction in cost of ARV drugs over the period; (2) the increasing availability of financial resources, especially from the Global Fund and United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (US PEPFAR); and (3) the decisions made by leaders of South African government and their justification. This information is summarized in Figure 1. For comparison, we used, Botswana and Namibia, neighboring countries facing AIDS epidemics of similar scale and dynamics and with similar resources per capita.
To estimate the person-years lost due to lack of ARV treatment for patients with AIDS, we multiplied the following parameter estimates: First, we estimated the number of persons who were eligible to receive ARV treatment by obtaining from UNAIDS the number of deaths from AIDS in South Africa for the period 2000-2005.15 Patients with AIDS who died without ever getting treatment lost the entire average benefit that ARV therapy provides because they can never get treated in future years. Second, the persons who actually received ARV therapy in South Africa between 2000 and 2005 are obtained from the UNAIDS and WHO "3 by 5" records (23% in 2005,16 <10% in 2004,17 3% in 2003,16 and less than 3% for preceding years). These estimates are consistent with estimates from the South African Department of Health, the Human Science Research Council 2005 survey, and the Actuarial Society of South Africa model.18 Third, based on Figure 1, we considered as reasonable that South Africa could have started an ARV treatment program in 2000 treating not more than 5% of persons who needed therapy but ramping up the coverage as drugs became less expensive and more international resources became available. We use a maximum of 50% coverage of those in need by the end of 2005, an estimate that is lower than the 85% achieved by Botswana or 71% by Namibia.19
Last, we estimated the average life-years that ARV therapy adds to patients with AIDS in Africa. Primary studies done in Africa (including South Africa), a meta-analysis, and a comparison with the developed countries show that other than increased mortality at the start of treatment, patient responses to ARV treatment in Africa are similar to those observed in the developed world.20 Considering outcomes of patients with low CD4 counts, the benefits of just the first-line regimen (because alternative and second-line regimens remain relatively very expensive), and treatment of opportunistic infections, we used the very conservative estimate of an average ARV treatment benefit of 6.7 years per patient. Bachmann21 determined that ARV for disease treatment would prolong life by 6.7 years if provided late in disease development and by 9.8 years if provided earlier. This estimate is also lower than the low end of average benefits (7.8-13.3 years) that have been modeled for ARV treatment in the United States.22
To estimate the life-years lost by not implementing a PMTCT program in South Africa for the same period, we first estimated the number of children infected with HIV through vertical transmission. The Actuarial Society of South Africa AIDS and Demographic Model (2003) calculates a total of 68,000 infections for 2004,23 whereas the Department of Health (South Africa) using data from Statistics South Africa estimates 105,000 infected babies.24 To be conservative, we chose the lower estimate of 68,000 new infections per year. HIV prevalence in South Africa during 2000-2005 ranged from 18% to 21%, whereas population growth was marginal.15 To take this into consideration, we decreased the estimate of babies infected to 60,000 per year for the entire 2000-2005 period.
Second, based on the report by the PMTCT Task Team in South Africa (PMTCT Task Team, Concerned Child Health Workers, Johannesburg, November 15, 2005, unpublished report), the Health Systems Trust estimates that PMTCT coverage was less than 30% in 2005.25 The government program was started in 2003, and coverage expanded in 2004 and especially in 2005, similar to the ARV treatment program. We used these guides to estimate coverage for the period, that is, less than 3% before 2003 and rising to a maximum of 30% in 2005.
Third, to estimate the percentage of women who could have been given PMTCT prophylaxis, we used data from Figure 1 and considered especially that nevirapine was offered free for 5 years in 2000; that a program giving single-dose nevirapine to mother and baby, whether given to HIV-infected pregnant women or to all pregnant women, is the most affordable of ARV programs; that a single-dose regimen is not complex to administer and can potentially be given wherever women receive antenatal care; and that 84% of women in South Africa receive antenatal care by a trained provider.26 We assumed that it was feasible for South Africa to start a PMTCT program covering up to 5% of HIV-positive pregnant women in 2000, ramping up to about 55% coverage by 2005. This is less than the coverage achieved by both Botswana and Namibia for the period (>70%).13
Fourth, for estimates of efficacy of ARVs in preventing vertical transmission, we used the HIV Network for Prevention Trials 012 trial which showed that single-dose nevirapine decreased transmission by 47% compared with very short course oral ZDV in a breastfeeding population.27 We did not consider the greater efficacy of multiple drugs or highly active antiretroviral therapy in preventing transmission.
Last, to estimate the person-years lost per case of HIV transmitted, we assumed a life expectancy of 48 years28 and then subtracted the average survival of an HIV-infected baby without ARV treatment. A pooled analysis of babies born to HIV-infected women shows that 35% of infected babies die by the end of the first year and 52% die by the end of the second year.29 We used 3 years as a conservative estimate of the mean survival of HIV-infected babies. We also note that the average life expectancy at birth is low partly because it already includes the high and early mortality of AIDS-infected babies. Because treatment coverage for the period was very low, we used the estimates assuming lack of treatment.
The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Briefly, more than 330,000 lives or approximately 2.2 million person-years were lost because a feasible ARV treatment program was not implemented in South Africa. Thirty-five thousand babies were born with HIV, resulting in 1.6 million person-years lost by not implementing a mother-to-child transmission prophylaxis program using nevirapine. The total lost benefits of ARVs are at least 3.8 million person-years for the period 2000-2005.
We tested the stability of the results if low and high estimates of the major parameters are used in the 1-way sensitivity analyses. Tables 3 and 4 show the sensitivity analyses. If we use the reasonable treatment alternative as achieving a maximum of 40% coverage instead of 50%, the number of lives lost would decrease from 334,300 to 226,800 or 1.5 million person-years. If we use a higher estimate coverage of 70% achieved by Namibia, the estimate for lost lives is 503,300 people or 3.4 million person-years. If we use the lower estimates of number of deaths per year (approximately 50,000 less than the reported estimate for each year),1 the lost lives are 240,000 or 1.6 million person-years. Instead of using the number of deaths as the only persons needing treatment, and using approximately 5 million as the number of infections in South Africa, the number of persons who could have been treated from 2000 to 2006 exceeds 1 million, translating to more than 7 million person-years lost. If we lower ARV treatment efficacy to 5.3 years of increased survival per person,30 the person-years lost decreases to 1.8 million. If a higher efficacy of ARV treatment on survival of 10 years per person is used,31 the person-years lost increases to 3.3 million.
Similarly, for PMTCT, if the reasonable alternative achieved only 40% coverage instead of 55% by 2005, the total number of babies infected from 2000 to 2005 is 18,000, resulting in more than 800,000 person-years lost. If we use higher coverage of 70% (still less than Botswana and Namibia), 44,000 babies are infected, resulting in 2 million person-years lost. If we consider that some babies will get infected through breastfeeding and use 18-month efficacy of nevirapine (41%),32 31,000 babies are infected or 1.4 million person-years lost attributable to South Africa's policies.
The main finding is that the lost benefits of not using ARVs in South Africa between 2000 and 2005 amount to at least 3.8 million person-years.
This analysis uses a direct and transparent calculation whose inputs are generally available data. For input data, we chose UNAIDS and WHO data which are generally used; data from South Africa's Health Department and the Health Systems Trust; and published data on clinical trials, meta-analyses, and observational studies. The main assumption is the number of persons for which it was feasible to provide ARVs for treatment or PMTCT from 2000 to 2005 in South Africa. We explain the basis of our estimates, consider alternatives with higher and lower coverage in the sensitivity analysis, and are purposely conservative. Although some may disagree with the exact estimates of the number of persons who could have been treated, the efficacy of ARV treatment, or the number of babies infected with HIV in a given year, the general approach is robust. Unless one argues that the Mbeki government's actions were correct, the number estimate of the person-years lost may change a little but the main conclusion of the article will hold, that is, several million person-years were lost because the leaders of the South African government chose not to implement a feasible ARV program. We chose a limited time horizon to estimate only the benefits that have already been lost and to not speculate on the future direction of AIDS treatment policy in South Africa. We also do not consider the potential lost benefits from the impact of treatment on HIV prevention via secondary transmission.
Costs are a legitimate limiting factor for any program, and there are many competing priorities for the same resources. However, the cost of ARVs decreased much starting in 1999, as shown in Figure 1. At the same time, resources dedicated for AIDS drastically increased with the creation of the Global Fund and the US PEPFAR. There is consensus that use of ARVs for PMTCT is highly cost effective in South Africa (and Africa) compared with no PMTCT prophylaxis.33 Similarly, ARV treatment has been shown to be highly cost effective in South Africa31 compared with no ARV treatment.34 Using similar analyses for the treatment of patients with AIDS, others have shown that the use of ARVs is cost effective in developing countries35,36 and also may have modest benefits in reducing incidence.36,37 South Africa chose not to take advantage of the decreasing cost of drugs, restricted the use of freely donated nevirapine, and obstructed the disbursement of US $72 million awarded to KwaZulu Natal by the Global Fund in 2002. It seems, therefore, at least from the free nevirapine and KwaZulu Natal allocation cases, that the cost of ARVs and the availability of resources were not the absolute barrier explaining why South Africa did not implement a feasible PMTCT and treatment plan. The South African government, through the Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, has continued to the present day to divert attention from ARV drugs to nontested alternative remedies, such as lemon juice, beetroot, and garlic, sometimes even promoted as better alternatives and not supplements for AIDS treatment.
Access to appropriate public health practice is often determined by a small number of political leaders. In the case of South Africa, many lives were lost because of a failure to accept the use of available ARVs to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS in a timely manner.

Hotknife | |
A Hotknife in GTA San Andreas (Rear quarter view, with covered engine, PS2 rendition, with covered engine).. | |
Appearance(s) |
GTA San Andreas GTA V |
Vehicle type | Custom car |
Body style | 2-door sports car |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
The Hotknife is a custom car appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA V the vehicle is only available with the Collector's Edition of the game.
GTA San Andreas
The Hotknife is a late 1920's or early 1930's Hot Rod resembling a Ford Model A (it closely resembles the 1928 version of the model) with modifications and a custom paint job. The car comes only in one paint scheme; purple with white vinyls and black roof; visits at Pay 'n' Spray garages have no effect on the car; neither can the car be modified at any modification garages), but features two variants; one with a covering on the V8 engine and one without a covering. It has capacity for only two people.
In GTA V the Hotknife continues to resemble a 1930's hotrod, as stated by Rockstar themselves.
GTA San Andreas
The Hotknife handles well on-road and off-road. There's great acceleration to be had from the V8 up front, but its top speed is ultimately lower than the more aerodynamic cars found in the game. One noteable thing about this car is its poor endurance in crashes, probably because of the exposed front suspension and radiator.
Like the Phoenix, the Hotknife is an extremely rare car to find in GTA San Andreas, with only one certain spawn point in the game:
- Spawns in front of the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after getting all gold medals in driving school (its license plate reads "GOLD").
- The only way it can regularly spawn in the streets is to activate either the "Clown Theme" cheat or the "Sports Car Traffic" cheat.
- Can be obtained through Vigilante missions, which in rare occasions are driven by criminals, but only at levels 1 and 2, otherwise only 4-door cars are used (This can be done even from the beginning of the game).
- Can be found on The Strip on extremely rare occasions.
- The default radio station of the Hotknife is Playback FM.
- It is one of the vehicles that can't be modded at any mod shops.
- Unusually, the upper frame of the passenger side's door is inconsistent to that of the driver side, appearing recessed and colored purple (as opposed to the driver side's black).
- If the player uses a lot of cheats (they don't have to be vehicle related) it will spawn more in the streets and if the player uses too much cheats it spawns more than most vehicles.

ST. LOUIS — The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District will be weighing its options about how to address chronic flooding issues in an area of south St. Louis.
Spokesman Lance LeComb said four to six homes have a chronic problem with flooding in the area near Grand and Bates. LeComb declined to speculate about the possibility of buyouts or who would fund them.
A big downpour in June left several feet of sewer water in the basements of those homes. MSD said there was no power failure affecting pumps in the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, restoration work goes on for about 80 homes damaged by flooding in north St. Louis. MSD has taken responsibilitye for that flooding.

(6) Sat Mar 26 2005 19:24 PST Time Meddler:
This is the game that makes our fortune, Leonard me boy. Time travel game! In other such games you experience time travel from the perspective of a human: you turn back the clock to a specific point and relive events from there. In this game, you are a four-dimensional being! To you, the timeline looks like the pages of a flip book spread out before you. Like a Trafalmadorian you can visit any segment of the timeline that strike your fancy. Unlike a Trafalmadorian you can also change the timeline. Your changes have ripple effects into the future.
The game board looks like a 2D grid. The squares contain people and objects in different states over time. That is, the x axis is stepwise "time" and the y axis is stepwise "state of person/object #y". Your job on each level of the game is to meddle with the timeline to achieve a certain result (eg. to make two people fall in love). You can insert items into the timeline, move objects around, etc. Every time you do something at time x, the timeline is redrawn from x+1 onwards. With the right modelling the possible actions and resulting events could be very flexible.
It is a turn-based puzzle game because of course it makes no sense to have any time-related operations since the whole point is you exist outside of time.
How do I know this game will make my fortune? TIME TRAVEL, DUH!
Next time on NYCB Game Design Brainstorming: Captain Compliance! The game where the object is to get permission to play the game! Inspired by my review of oki. I'm still not sure exactly how it will go, though.

Or you could make it an RPG: Forget Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, the new big thing is Hyper-parallel Dungeons and Dragons!Oh, and it'd make for one hell of a roundabout game of Connect Four, forcing the traversal of certain paths to get your four. Come to think of it, that idea would make a lot of reality more sensical.

At the risk of spoiling your plans for fame and fortune, I must point out that this sounds very much like Chrononauts.
Posted by Leonard at Sun Mar 27 2005 10:14
Chrononauts seemed very much in the "turn back the clock" vein, albeit with iterative changing of history one you meddled. It was the closest thing I could find to my idea, though.

These guys claim to sell it, if you don't mind buying it again.

This makes me think of Lock & Key, in a sense. Lock & Key's map is equivalent to a 1-D timeline, since each room has a single entrance and exit and the enemy progresses at a steady pace. You have a more-or-less defined goal for the end of the timeline, and you accomplish it by moving around chunks of timeline (rooms) and watching the influence on later chunks.It's not (by design) as fluid as your post describes, but the basic idea of moving objects around in time to achieve a pre-defined goal is there.

It's tough to compete with V&A's, but I LOVED my cheese plate from the Rose & Crown. I look forward to getting it again in May.
Tutto Gusto. I recently wrote a blog on it & the exact wine & food we had here is the link. The cheese was SOOOOOOOOOO good! http://yohoyohobloggerslifeforme.blogspot.com/2012/11/tutto-gusto-wine-bar-review.html
Nice review! We had that same cheese plate, it was tasty. We had to have three people chip in on the price though! After spending time at La Cava and eating at Tutto Gusto, my credit cards were screaming. But, great times.
I will probably try cheese plates at V&A, Narcoossee's, and Tutto Gusto from your recommendations. Also, thinking about it at Le Cellier and Boulangerie Patisserie. Anyone with thoughts on those?
I have never had a bad cheese plate at Disney. Cali Grill and yachtsman were two of my favorites. At Le Cellier I would recommend the cheese soup for a cheese lover.
I agree with the last post, I have never had a bad cheese plate at Disney. To be honest before Disney I would not have thought of myself as a cheese person and now I think if my self as a "good" cheese person! Lol! No American slices for me!
That is good to hear that people have never had a bad cheese plate in Disney as I will probably try several on my trip .
We've had cheese plates from Narcoossee's, Jiko, Rose & Crown, Tutto Gusto, they've all been wonderful. Here now and looking forward to trying a few more this trip. One discovery we made was at Sunshine Seasons in Epcot, there is a boxed cheese plate with cheddar, Swiss and pepper jack served with strawberries and grapes. It makes a great snack or light meal to share! Nothing fancy but a nice alternative to a lot of the park-type snacks.
They are all very good. I don't think there is a "best". the best for me is the one in the restaurant where I am sitting.
Agreed...many excellent cheese plates on property. Here are a few photos from years past Le Chefs De France Citricos Jiko Le Cellier Narcoossee's Rose & Crown Yachtsman Steakhouse

'State Bar Council could pass a resolution in this regard'
The Karnataka State Bar Council could pass a resolution requesting the High Court as well as the National Commission for Women to look into the suggestion of having a panel of people to decide cases that came up in family courts, senior advocate of the High Court of Karnataka Pramila Nesargi said here on Monday.
Ms. Nesargi was responding to a comment by advocate Ranjan Rao at the regional advocates' conference organised here.
Mr. Rao said that cases that came up in family courts were "more of a social nature than legal" and suggested that perhaps a social worker or counsellor could assist the judge when hearing the cases.
To this, Ms. Nesargi said that she agreed with the idea and such a system was in place in countries such as France where a panel comprising a judge, a social worker and a mental health expert decided cases of family disputes.
She said that the Bar Council could pass a resolution in this regard and send copies of it to the National Commission for Women and the High Court as well. She appreciated the Family Courts Complex in Maharashtra, which she said provided facilities for child care.
Ms. Nesargi said that "sensitisation was a must for judges (dealing with) matrimonial cases". Giving examples, Ms. Nesargi said that she knew a judge who refused a restraining order to a woman to prevent her husband from marrying off their five-year-old and seven-year-old daughters.
Ms. Nesargi said that the woman was subsequently thrown out of her house by her husband for approaching the court.
Ms. Nesargi was critical of the media for being "insensitive" to women against whom crimes had been committed and their "sensational" reporting of such instances.
Earlier, advocate Avik Biswas spoke about the intricacies of the Information Technology Act 2000 and the role of lawyers. He underscored the importance of having a science background while dealing with subjects such as information technology and intellectual property rights.
Mr. Biswas said that under the Information Technology Act, leaking of sensitive information that was given in good faith to an institution attracted criminal liability. Illustrating with an example, Mr. Biswas said that if the HIV status of a student was somehow revealed from private records of an educational institution, then the fact of the disclosure, provided that it was proved that the organisation failed in taking steps to protect that information, was sufficient to attract criminal liability on the institution.
He said that the Centre's recent attempts to "pre-censor" online content would not stand legal scrutiny as the IT Act did not allow pre-censorship of online content. However, the government retained powers to order internet service providers and websites to remove content in the interests of public good.
He said that as long as service providers or websites did not alter the content posted by users, they could not be held liable for the actions of the end users.
Giving an example, he said that social networking site Facebook could not be held liable for a cartoon of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee uploaded by an end user.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation delights Michiganders and newcomers with information and stories about the Great Lakes State.
The goal of Michigan's online newsroom is this: Tell stories and start conversations about why Michiganders live there and why others should join them.
It's simple, but it works.
Why? Because the Michigan Economic Development Corporation knows its audience, and that's just one of the reasons why the 2012 PR Daily Award for Best Online Newsroom goes to MEDC.
Shirley Gray, who submitted the entry, says her team wanted to reach a public that:
Considering these factors, the team created its online newsroom.

The staff was indeed forged by the black king Vlame to aid him in his hellish crusade. The shaft in made of black saphire and on it's tip is a arge red ruby nicknamed "the dragons ire" for it glows bright when controling Dragons and griffins. To hold the ruby inplace a actuall dragon claws fitted from the shaft the the ruby.
Magical Properties:
This weapon is both magical and cursed because it can controle the will of Dragons and Griffins, (need I say temporary again) as well as be a machanisme of torture. It's gruesome abilities are to slowly burn away the most sensitive parts of your body from the inside. Vlame enjoys burning eternal organ that are not fatal. The sreams of agony are a syphony to him. The curses are if a good man of a clar conscience carries it to long, it currupts his heart and makes him evil. But, it also takes energy to controle the will of Dragons and Griffins. The energy of the staff is indeed powerful but there is a lack of it wich makes the control temporary. It takes a full 24 hours to "recharge" in between times, it is as harful as a dry stick. (Warning, if hit repeditely in this state may cause a slight bruise!!)
Staff of Dragoonias
This staff is equally powerful the the staff of Leviadan. The differences are that it is an evil craft, those who are not already evil shall be currupted should the staff stay in the possesion of good men to long. The trait that gave it it's name is that it gives you "TEMPORARY" controle over the minds of dragons and griffins.
