The Great Land Rush and Food Security
What is land?
Many of us don't think about what land really means. An economist might define land as the totality of natural resources in a given area, while a lawyer might focus on land, water and mineral rights. But a farmer's answer might be simpler: land is the farmer's capital. Land is the soil and water utilized in the production of crops for the local or global market. In the context of an increasingly globalized world, land rights are paramount, particularly in the Global South (Asia, South America, Africa and Australia). As governments and multinational corporations buy up land, small farmers and indigenous groups are edged out.
A Global Phenomenon
A 2010 World Bank study showed that 110 million acres (44,515,420.7 hectares) of farmland worldwide were sold or leased in the first eleven months of 2009 alone; 70 percent of these land deals were concentrated in Mali, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Mozambique.
Before 2008, land was sold or leased at an average annual rate of 10 million acres (4,046,856.42 hectares). However, in the last four years alone, nearly 148 million acres (about 60 million hectares) of land on the continent of Africa has been acquired by international investors and government bodies. This surge in land grabbing and speculation deserves attention because it poses a grave threat to regional food security, indigenous land and water rights.
These land deals are not just confined to the continent of Africa (which holds nearly two-thirds of the world's remaining arable land). In the Middle East, Bahrain has seen political upheaval and protest in the wake of a major land deal within its borders. White South African farmers are buying up land in Georgia while in the Ukraine, the state is planning to buy up 30 percent of the nation's land to bolster the country's food security. In Australia, in a similar move a Chinese company has offered to buy 80,000 hectares of farmland.
In one of Asia's poorest nations, 15 percent of Cambodian land has been signed over to private companies (made easier by the Khmer Rouge's prohibition of private property and subsequent burning of all land titles). In South America, the Brazilian government has shown its openness to greater foreign investment in rural land. In today's globalized world economy, these land deals have far-reaching effects.
Why the rush for land?
Factors driving the land grab include population pressure, the burgeoning middle class in the Global South and its heightened demand for foodstuffs, in concert with individual countries' concerns over food security. As ready access to food is essential to a politically stable nation, food security can have major political effects.
This was seen in 2009 in Madagascar when a land deal with a South Korean conglomerate that would have handed over half of Madagascar's arable land was met with mass protests and led to the overthrow of then-President Ravalomanana. Continue reading

On January 31, 1943, the German Sixth Army and other Axis forces under the command of Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus officially surrendered to Soviet Red Army forces, officially ending the pivotal battle two days later. The German objective was to capture the city, which was located in southern Russia. A German victory would have come as a humiliating blow to the Soviet Union and the city's namesake Joseph Stalin.
The battle was that of Stalingrad, regarded as one the deadliest in the history of warfare, with roughly 1.5 million casualties.
Seventy years later, on January 31, 2013, the city, renamed Volgograd in 1961, passed a measure by its city council to rename the city Stalingrad, in commemoration of the battle.
The city's renaming will be temporary but on a permanent basis. That is, all city measures or mayoral proclamations will officially bear the name Stalingrad on May 9 and on four other days. May 9 is celebrated as Victory Day, in commemoration of the USSR's victory over Nazi Germany.
While the city's name change will apply only on dates related to the commemoration of significant World War II events, it does, however, correspond to the recent trend of glorifying the former Soviet dictator.
Though Stalin killed millions of Russians and Ukrainians, in 2008, an online nationwide poll — which included over 50 million votes — named Stalin as the third most popular Russian who ever lived. Another poll commissioned by VTsIOM in 2011 revealed that 45 percent of Russians were opposed to the destalinization programs. "Stalin … is a symbol of authority: harsh and brutal, but patriotic and non-corrupt," said Alexei Makarkin, deputy director of the Center of Political Technologies, one of Russia's oldest political think-tanks.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team felt plenty of heartbreak in the final seconds of their 65-64 loss to Carroll University in Flood Arena on Tuesday night.
The Pioneers hit a short jumper with six seconds left to put them up by one and then Ahmad Shamsid-Deen's late 12-footer from the left of the lane was missed and rebounded by James Lazarcik. But Lazarcik's putback was disallowed at the buzzer (it did go in) for a crushing loss.
The first half was tight and physical for the entire 20 minutes. Carroll took the lead five minutes into the game and never gave it up, though they couldn't get it above four points. There were three ties in the half that saw the Pioneers lead 24-21 at the break.
The teams traded runs in the second half to keep things close. CU came out of the lockerroom on a 13-6 run to push their lead to ten three minutes in before Beloit answered with a 10-3 run to get back within 40-37 with 13:42 left. Carroll answered than run with an 8-2 spurt over three-plus minutes for a 48-39 lead midway through. The Bucs still trailed 52-44 with 7:55 remaining before a 16-8, four-minute run pulled them into a 60-all tie with just over three minutes left, setting up the exciting final minutes.
Beloit took it's first lead since early in the opening half on Lazarcik's jumper at 1:52, which made it 64-62. CU hit a free throw with 22 seconds left to pull within one and set up the frantic final seconds.
Senior Grant Henricksen, the only senior on the Beloit squad, played his final home game for the Bucs. He finished with one point, five rebounds and three assists.
Steve McAfee, Jr. led Beloit with 25 points, 18 in the second half, while Lazarcik had 20 points and 13 rebounds. Shamsid-Deen finished with nine points.
The Buccaneers close out the regular season on Saturday afternoon at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Tipoff is set for 3:00 p.m.

The St. Lawrence Seaway wrapped up its 2012 shipping season last month on a high note, according to officials.
Officials with the Canadian Seaway Management Corp. said Monday that the total tonnage of goods that crossed the channel increased by 4 percent to 38.9 million tons from 37.5 million tons over 2011, exceeding the original forecast by 300,000 tons.
The rise in overall cargo volume was owed in part to a late-season surge in grain movements, officials said in a news release.
The Seaway was instrumental in providing grain shippers with the means to rapidly respond and capitalize on market opportunities late in the season, said Terence F. Bowles, president and CEO of the Seaway Management Corp.
Strong Canadian grain movements offset a sharp drop in U.S. grain movements resulting from the drought last year, the Seaway said.
There also was a notable increase in shipments of iron ore a 14.6 percent rise over 2011 to 10,135 tons crossing the Seaway for export to overseas destinations, such as China.
Also, demand for low-sulphur coal in Europe led to a substantial increase in coal volume to 4,628 tons, a 23.7 percent increase over the 2011 navigation season.
Officials also noted the use of newly built, energy-efficient state-of-the art vessels on the Seaway and new navigational technology, such as the draft information system, which provides shippers real-time information on current and projected distances between a vessels keel and river bottoms.
These new vessels, part of a billion-dollar fleet renewal effort by domestic and ocean carriers, combined with our marketing efforts, which have recorded 10.6 million tons in new business over the past five years, underscore the Seaways future potential, Mr. Bowles said.
The St. Lawrence Seaway closed for the season on Dec. 29.

Telegraph Avenueby Michael Chabon
Staff Pick
Since winning the Pulitzer Prize for his spectacular 2000 novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon has gone on to write a diverse array of books restrained by neither style nor genre. Of the distinctive qualities to be found within whatever form his versatile storytelling may take is a prose marked by eloquence and vivaciousness, an uncanny ability to immerse his readers within the lives of his characters, and a narrative structure propelled mainly by his imaginative plots. All of these strengths are on full display in Telegraph Avenue, Chabon's resonant new novel and his most mature, accessible fiction to date.
Its genesis an unproduced television pilot he wrote over a decade ago, Telegraph Avenue is an engrossing, well-crafted drama of family and friendship. Set during the summer of 2004 in both Oakland and Berkeley (where Chabon himself has resided for the last 15 years), the novel focuses on the intertwined lives and ensuing hardships of two East Bay families. Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are best friends and coproprietors of Brokeland Records, a used vinyl record shop whose continued existence is threatened by plans for a nearby megastore helmed by a wealthy, former NFL quarterback. Their spouses, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are popular midwives, but both their friendship and their livelihoods become jeopardized following a delivery that quite nearly turns tragic.
As with much of Chabon's fiction, a rich cast of supporting characters and interwoven subplots lend the novel a vibrant breadth. Julius, Nat, and Aviva's 14-year-old boy, an ardent film enthusiast, falls in love with Titus, Archy's long-unacknowledged teenaged son. Luther, Archy's father, is a former kung fu and blaxploitation movie star whose delinquent past and scheming present ensnares the lives of everyone close to him. When community members rally against the proposed megastore, friendships are tested, motivations are questioned, and allegiances are revealed.
Telegraph Avenue, perhaps Chabon's strongest and most complete effort to date, is a sonorous, sweeping portrait of a contemporary American neighborhood (inspired, somewhat, by his own childhood spent partially in Columbia, Maryland — a planned community that sought to eliminate the racial and economical divisions that stunt so many modern metropolises). Chabon's incorporation of a racial element into this novel (of the four leading characters, two are black and the others white), in addition to being a brave decision, serves not as the banal, forced multiculturalism and feel-good liberalism that would likely have come across as mere stereotype in less-adept hands, but instead as a perceptive, faithful portrayal of life in the 21st-century American city. Chabon's compassion and sympathy for his subjects translates into lifelike, relatable characters that struggle with many of the same adversities, frustrated aspirations, and need for perseverance as anyone in the real world.
Throughout Telegraph Avenue, Chabon makes clever, playful use of jazz, soul, and vinyl-related imagery and metaphor, beginning with the touching dedication to his wife. Many of the thematic elements that have so distinguished Chabon's previous works are conveyed anew and will be warmly familiar to his longtime readers. Peppered throughout the novel like a recurrent bass groove are moments of delightfully unexpected and potent humor that act as a welcome complement to its rhythm of crescendoing drama. Michael Chabon's storytelling gifts seem to know no bounds, and the dexterity with which he crafts his beautiful prose is often breathtaking. The book's third chapter, composed of a single, 12-page sentence, is magnificently rendered and acts as a testament to Chabon's remarkable literary prowess. Telegraph Avenue is indeed an exceptional novel, one demonstrative of the considerable talent Chabon brings to nearly everything he composes.

Publisher Comments:
As the summer of 2004 draws to a close, Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are still hanging in there—longtime friends, bandmates, and co-regents of Brokeland Records, a kingdom of used vinyl located in the borderlands of Berkeley and Oakland. Their wives, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are the Berkeley Birth Partners, a pair of semilegendary midwives who have welcomed more than a thousand newly minted citizens into the dented utopia at whose heart—half tavern, half temple—stands Brokeland.
When ex-NFL quarterback Gibson Goode, the fifth-richest black man in America, announces plans to build his latest Dogpile megastore on a nearby stretch of Telegraph Avenue, Nat and Archy fear it means certain doom for their vulnerable little enterprise. Meanwhile, Aviva and Gwen also find themselves caught up in a battle for their professional existence, one that tests the limits of their friendship. Adding another layer of complication to the couples' already tangled lives is the surprise appearance of Titus Joyner, the teenage son Archy has never acknowledged and the love of 15-year-old Julius Jaffe's life.
"An immensely gifted writer and magical prose stylist."
—Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon has transported readers to wonderful places: to New York City during the Golden Age of comic books (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay); to an imaginary Jewish homeland in Sitka, Alaska (The Yiddish Policemens Union); to discover The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Now he takes us to Telegraph Avenue in a big-hearted and exhilarating novel that explores the profoundly intertwined lives of two Oakland, California families, one black and one white. In Telegraph Avenue, Chabon lovingly creates a world grounded in pop culture—Kung Fu, 70s Blaxploitation films, vinyl LPs, jazz and soul music—and delivers a bravura epic of friendship, race, and secret histories.

The story of Marshfield Pioneer Cemetery and our experiences with those in charge. After being told we could "adopt a plot" then not being able to come up with over $300 for a Headstone Repair Workshop, further requests to adopt and care for the cemetery were ignored. Despite the Cemetery website stating that the cemetery is well-maintained, this is what Marshfield Pioneer Cemetery looked like on November 14th, 2009. It is heartbreaking!

Stone Coldby David Baldacci
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The #1 bestselling author of The Collectors and Simple Genius returns with Stone Cold...an unforgettable novel of revenge, conspiracy, and murder that brings a band of unlikely heroes face-to-face with their greatest threat.
Oliver Stone, the leader of the mysterious group that calls itself the Camel Club, is both feared and respected by those who've crossed his path. Keeping a vigilant watch over our leaders in Washington, D.C., the Camel Club has won over some allies, but it has also earned formidable enemies — including those in power who will do anything to prevent Stone and his friends from uncovering the hidden, secret work of the government.
Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club, is also the greatest con artist of her generation. She has swindled forty million dollars from casino king Jerry Bagger, the man who murdered her mother. Now he's hot on her trail with only one goal in mind: Annabelle's death. But as Stone and the Camel Club circle the wagons to protect Annabelle, a new opponent, who makes Bagger's menace pale by comparison, suddenly arises.
One by one, men from Stone's shadowy past are turning up dead. Behind this slaughter stands one man: Harry Finn. To almost all who know him, Finn is a doting father and loving husband who uses his skills behind the scenes to keep our nation safe. But the other face of Harry Finn is that of an unstoppable killer who inevitably sets his lethal bull's-eye on Oliver Stone. And with Finn, Stone may well have met his match.
As Annabelle and the Camel Club fight for their lives, the twists and turns whipsaw, leading to a finale that is as explosive as it is shattering. And when buried secrets are atlast violently resurrected, the members of the Camel Club left standing will be changed forever.
With unrelenting pacing, stunning reversals, and two of the most compelling characters in modern fiction, Stone Cold is David Baldacci writing at his breathtaking best.
"The modern-day paladins of the Camel Club are back in their third exciting adventure (after 2006's The Collectors). Justice-seekers Milton, Caleb, Reuben and honorary member Alex Ford, a Secret Service agent, are led by feisty Oliver Stone, aka former CIA assassin John Carr. Their associate, Annabelle Conroy, is a slick con artist on the run after stealing $40 million from lunatic casino owner Jerry Bagger, who killed her mother. Oliver's CIA past distracts him from Annabelle's cause: his old unit, Triple 6, was responsible for the death of Raymond Solomon, branded a traitor during the Cold War, and now Solomon's son, DHS security expert Harry Finn, is picking off Triple 6 members. Oliver could be next if Carter Gray, his former boss, reveals that John Carr isn't really dead. Gripping, chilling and full of surprises, Baldacci's latest reveals the anarchy that lurks under the slick facade of corrupted governments." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"When Baldacci is on fire, nobody can touch him, and this is an exhilarating thriller: fast paced, with a cast of engaging characters, a couple of mind-wrenching plot twists, and a general air of derring-do that keeps the proceedings from getting too heavy." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Baldacci's intricately woven plotlines, well-developed characters, fast-paced action, and surprise ending will leave readers satisfied and wanting more. A sequel worthy of its predecessors; highly recommended." Library Journal
"Baldacci can do this stuff in his sleep now, but it's still entertaining enough." Kirkus Reviews
Now available in a tall Premium Edition, Baldacci's instant #1 New York Times bestseller brings back Oliver Stone and his Camel Club as they try to save the life of a beautiful con-artist, implicate a shady casino king, and solve a string of murders of D.C. political staffers.

Washington's Pro Bowl left tackle, Trent Williams, will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Williams was inactive for last week's 17-13 loss at San Francisco after spraining his right ankle and medial collateral ligament, and the pass protection suffered as a result.
Others ailing starters who'll be available Sunday are defensive end Jason Hatcher (knee), nose tackle Chris Baker (sternum) and tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring).
That left few surprises on Washington's list of inactives for the Colts.
Cornerback E.J. Biggers had been ruled out Saturday due to the concussion he suffered last Sunday.
Rounding out the inactives are quarterback Kirk Cousins; wide receivers Leonard Hankerson and Aldrick Robinson; guard Spencer Long, defensive end Stephen Bowen and right tackle Tyler Polumbus.
Colt McCoy, who opened the season as the squad's No. 3 quarterback, will lead the 3-8 Redskins onto Lucas Oil Stadium after Coach Jay Gruden benched the struggling Robert Griffin III on Wednesday and named McCoy the starter.
It's an unfortunate time for Washington to be thin at cornerback, given that the Colts boast the NFL's most prolific passing game and top-ranked offense.
With Biggers still undergoing the NFL's concussion protocol and Tracy Porter joining DeAngelo Hall on the injured list, the Redskins' ranks of cornerbacks are thin. It consists of second-year player David Amerson and rookie Bashaud Breeland in starting roles and rookies Greg Ducre and Chase Minnifield as backups. In packages that involved three cornerbacks, backup safety Trenton Robinson is an option.

Château de Brézé has a long and storied history, first being mentioned in texts in 1068, lauded by King René of Anjou in the 15th century and served at all the royal courts. In 1957, when the AOC of Saumur Champigny was established, the owner of Château de Brézé refused to be part of the appellation, saying that his estate's vineyards were the best and deserved an appellation all their own. And he was probably right. Unfortunately, the wines from those exceptional vineyards were terrible. Lucky for us, the winery sold in 2009 to Le Comte de Colbert, who recruited Arnaud Lambert from nearby Domaine de Saint Just to make the wine. He changed the vineyards over to organic farming and began producing truly stellar wines worthy of their source. The 2012 Château de Brézé Clos David is all estate-grown Chenin Blanc raised in stainless steel to preserve freshness. It has the slightly-oxidized note of a great White Burgundy and a lovely richness that allows it to pair with a variety of foods.

text: Guerlain Samsara (124) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a berry-kissed medium-dark red with ruby red micro-shimmer. There's the faintest hint of a cool undertone, but compared to more obviously blue-toned lipsticks, it almost appears orange-toned! The color coverage is mostly opaque with little product needed for the results seen in the swatch. It does have some resemblance to Guerlain Vega, but this almost looks orange in contrast, and it's a bit darker and definitely not as bright. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue looks more like a berry-red in comparison. Giorgio Armani #406 is similar but has little to no shimmer. MAC Prolong is a touch brighter.Read Full Review

POTSDAM A Winthrop man died from blunt force trauma to the chest following a two-vehicle accident Monday, according to an autopsy conducted Tuesday.
Lawrence E. Wagstaff Jr., 66, of 967 County Route 49, was killed Monday afternoon when an SUV crossed the center line of Route 11 and crashed head-on into his van, state police at Canton said.
St. Lawrence County Coroner June H. Wood responded to the accident scene. Mr. Wagstaff was declared was dead at the scene of the 1:13 p.m. crash.
The other driver, Anna Manning, 63, of Parishville, was transported to Canton-Potsdam Hospital suffering from abdominal pains, troopers said. Ms. Mannings injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
State police said Ms. Manning apparently became distracted and lost control of the 2008 Chevrolet blazer she was driving. The SUV then crossed into the opposite lane of Route 11 near Regan Road, colliding with the 1994 Ford Econoline van driven by Mr. Wagstaff.
Alcohol is not suspected as a factor in the crash, troopers said.
An autopsy was conducted on New Years Day at Canton-Potsdam Hospital. Ms. Wood said Mr. Wagstaff died of blunt force trauma to the chest. The death was ruled an accident.
There is no evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash, according to Ms. Wood, although it will take about 8 weeks for toxicology reports to verify this.
Ms. Manning was ticketed with failure to keep right, troopers said. She is scheduled to answer the charge Jan. 10 in Potsdam Town Court.

Students at Sally Mauro Elementary got a taste of what fire fighters have to do when the Helper Fire Department came to their school last week.
Demonstrations included fire safety, how the equipment fire fighters use works, what fire extinguishers do and how they work and even a few kids got to put on turn out uniforms that fire fighters wear.
It was all done in the name of fire awareness and to teach kids about the dangers and pitfalls of fires.

Justin Bieber is taking a beating!
The teen pop star gets gritty in the April issue of Complex magazine, where he gets a few fists to the face in a boxing-themed photo shoot.
Sporting a torn shirt, bloody face and serious bruises, it's a far cry from the polished pop star we see on stage during concerts.
In the magazine, Bieber reveals why he and girlfriend Selena Gomez decided to stop hiding their relationship.
"There's no way to hide the relationship completely, because then it would be unfair to us," he says. "It's like, 'You take this car, and I'll take this car, and then we'll meet up at the spot. Then, you go in this door, I'll go in this door. We'll end up crossing ways. You get back in this car. We'll cross over, do a James Bond. You go through the kitchen. I'll go through the back area. Then we'll meet in the dressing room and see each other.' At that point, it's not even a relationship. You're just hiding from everyone. That's unfair and unhealthy, man."
Watch video from the bloody shoot below ... and for more pics, go to Complex.com.

Dr. Katz's New Oral Strips Are Effective Immune Supplements Designed to Strengthen and BoostSunday, July 8th, 2007
Stopping Yourself From Getting Sick Has Never Been Easier.
Why Do You Need Immune Supplements?
When I first started testing bad breath back in 1993, I realized that it was absolutely necessary to physically smell the odor exhaled by patients at my clinics. This was in addition to all of the other tests I performed. An unfortunate side effect of that procedure was an increase in rate of getting sick. You see, I was picking up a lot of "bugs" from every heavy exhale.
I realized that if I wanted to continue I needed something to help me boost my immune system and fight off these viruses and bacteria. Some of you may remember the liquid product I introduced in the 1990's known as Immune Therapy. You needed to mix a few drops of this immune supplement (a blend of compounds I knew would work, based on experience working with bacteria and viruses back at UCLA) with water. It was a bit of a hassle, but it worked very well to strengthen the immune system. One problem with that formula was that we couldn't add any flavor, because of the method used in preparation.
A few months ago, when we started to market our TheraBreath PLUS FreshStrips (for fresh breath), I went to the laboratory and asked them if they could place the same effective ingredients I used for my immune supplements into dissolvable film, but with a delicious natural flavor to help stimulate saliva as well.
Well, I'm proud to announce a new strip product – Immune Strips!
The Zinc Gluconate in Immune Strips is the only form proven to be effective.

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants and vital for the immune system.

Echinacea has been used for over 400 years as a general "cure-all".

Many of you are aware of a popular product known as Airborne®. It's an effervescent tablet that when dissolved in water helps to boost the immune system and ward off viruses and bacteria. I have nothing bad to say about their formula (although I think mine is better), but I will admit that my Immune Strips are much more convenient to use as an immune supplement – because you don't need a full glass of water in which to dissolve anything. You simply place a delicious strip on your tongue and your done.
How To Use Dr. Katz's Immune Strips
For best effects to strengthen your immune system, I recommend taking one strip every 2 hours until you've taken four on the first day of traveling, or being around people who tend to carry germs (children, crowds of sneezing people, work, trains, airplanes, etc). Most people do fine with 2 strips a day after that – but the good part is that you can take as many as you'd like, because the wild cherry taste is absolutely delicious.
Better yet, my Immune Strips cost less than Airborne® Immune Supplements.
Dr. Katz's Immune Strips are a specially-designed synergistic blend
of natural compounds to help cut
down the extent and duration of
colds and other common illnesses.

The phenomenon of "viral blips" with the more sensitive assays has been worrying to both patients and providers, and causing some confusion about when to order expensive follow-up labs and when to consider the possibility of virologic failure and ARV resistance. While many more providers are now likely familiar with the most recent U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidelines on the threshold for virologic failure, there is still a need for specifi c clinical information on how to interpret viral diagnostic labs and how best to manage patients with low-level viremia (50 copies to 400 copies) and very low-level viremia (20 copies to 50 copies).
With support from some of the biggest manufacturers of the newer real-time assays, AAHIVM sponsored a research "white paper" on the topic of viral load diagnostics and viral blip management. The lead author on Viral Load Diagnogstics: A Guide for HIV Care Providers, Dr. Babafemi Taiwo, associate professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Disease of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and Dr. Patrick Ryscavage, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland, closely tackle the clinical issues around persistent low-level viremia, viral blips, viral dynamics following therapy initiation, resistance, virologic failure, immunological trends, the latest data on viral load testing technologies and more. We hope that this short, easy-reference resource helps fill a clinical need in the delivery of quality HIV care.

Sabres GM Darcy Regier met with Ron Rolston Monday about the possibility of becoming head coach of the Sabres on a full time basis.
Regier appeared on the Sabres Hockey Hotline radio show on WGR Sportsradio 550, and confirmed that he would meet with Rolston before any other candidates, and that those meetings would begin following the interview late Wednesday morning.
"Right now the decision is going to be, the focus is going to be on Ron and his staff. I will not meet with any other candidates. We'll spend time together starting today. When you look at the body of work that he and the staff did... they did a very good job for us.Ron is a good teacher who is very prepared. He has very strong feelings about what you have to do as an organization in order to win.So yes absolutely he is going to be considered."
Rolston went 15-11-5 as interim coach of the Sabres after replacing the fired Lindy Ruff in Februrary. Prior to that, Rolston was head coach of the Sabres AHL affiliate in Rochester.
Following Monday's end of season news conference, Regier told 2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni that Rolston had the "inside track" based on his performance since taking over the team, and his track record of successfully developing young talent.
Regier also said he has already contacted teams ahead of the Sabres in the NHL draft order about the possibility of trading up. The Sabres currently hold the 8th overall draft selection.

Drama, Musical
In rural Alabama in the late 1950s, a spirited young girl, Lewellen, struggles to rise above the repression that surrounds her. Lewellen lives with her stern religious zealot grandmother, Grammie, but spends most of her time down the hill with her much-adored Daddy in his falling down shack. Daddy is wild and rough and frequently brings home a beautiful but troubled woman who has a mysterious history with him and comes and goes when his drink and abuse becomes too much for her. But while she's around, Lewellen's longing heart reaches for her love. Lewellen is deeply talented and finds comfort and safety, as well as a place to put her hurt and rage, in the music of Elvis Presley. It is only the caretaker Charles who can see the spirit in Lewellen and save her soul. He teaches her to use The Blues to turn her tragedy into a gift. Lewellen ultimately finds her true voice, giving her the strength and courage to walk away from her past and into her future.

MUTUAL - Mike Vlamakis, age 86, passed away peacefully on Aug. 1, 2010 surrounded by his loving family, following a hard-fought struggle with cancer.
He was born on Jan. 19, 1924 in Mutual, a son of Greek immigrants, Kaliope Kastrinakis and George Vlamakis. After Kaliope passed away at the early age of 42, Mike was blessed with a loving stepmother, Tassia Giannarakis.
Growing up in Carbon County, Mike was proud of his heritage, his association with the Greek community there, and cherished the lifelong friendships he made. Always the sports enthusiast, Mike was a member of the Helper American Legion baseball team, who prevailed as Utah State Champions in 1940-41. He was a referee for the Helper City League basketball games and also managed a girl's softball team.
Mike married Dorothy Hardee on Sept. 2, 1953 and they spent their early married years in Helper. Mike was transferred to SLC in 1957, where they made their new home and raised two children. Known for his strong work ethic, he worked two jobs to support his family, and enjoyed a very well deserved retirement after working 32 years for the Rio Grande Railroad and Farmers Insurance Company.
In recent years, Mike and Dorothy have enjoyed many years of traveling, cruises, camping with their extended family and friends, and getting together with the Rio Grande Vets Association. Mike liked Greek cooking, Chuck-A-Rama, the Utah Jazz (when they were winning), his New York Yankees and a good bargain. But most of all, he loved being with his family and will be remembered as a loving dad and husband who was always there for us. We will miss him more than words can say.
Survived by his wife, Dorothy; daughter, Kathy (Jeff) Connors; son, Michael Vlamakis; brother, Gabe (Sherrie) Vlamakis; and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by: parents; stepmother; nephew, Stephen Vlamakis; and many dear lifelong friends.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2010 at 11 a.m. at Redwood Memorial Mortuary, 6500 South Redwood Road, West Jordan. Friends and family may call Wednesday, Aug. 4, from 6-8 p.m. and one hour prior to services on Thursday. Interment Redwood Memorial Cemetery. Online condolences www.memorialutah.com
The family would like to express our thanks and appreciation to all those at the Huntsman Cancer Infusion Center for their loving care and support of Mike during the last two years.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this project is to study the pharmacokinetics of a once-daily antiretroviral medication used to treat adolescents and young adults with HIV infection.
HIV Infections
Procedure: blood draw
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Pharmacokinetics of Once Daily Antiretroviral Therapy Regimens Containing Tenofovir and Atazanavir/Ritonavir in Adolescents and Young Adults With HIV Infection
- Measure the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/ritonavir and tenofovir [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]To measure the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/ritonavir and tenofovir when used in combination to treat HIV-infected adolescents and young adult subjects
- Kinetics comparison [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]To compare the kinetics in these study subjects with published kinetics profiles in adults and children.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2007
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Once-daily antiretroviral therapy is being used to treat adolescents and young adults with HIV-1 infection. When new antiretrovirals (ARVs) are developed, information on kinetics is collected in adults, and then in children, but often the adolescent age group is under-represented in initial or even later pharmacokinetics studies, so specific data on appropriate drug doses to use in adolescents may be lacking; it is assumed that they should receive the adult dose. Furthermore, as newer drugs are used in combination regimens, more information becomes available on drug interactions that might not have been initially anticipated. This information is usually generated in studies of adults, with little or no specific information in children or adolescents. This is an open-label, 24-hour, single-dose pharmacokinetic study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 25 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Persons with HIV-1 infection between the ages of 18 years, 0 days and 24 years, 364 days currently on a stable combination antiretroviral regimen (> 28 days) with FDA-approved antiretroviral combination regimens that include tenofovir plus atazanavir/ritonavir and at least one other active antiretroviral drug.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age > 18 year to < 25 years.
- Confirmed diagnosis of HIV-1 infection defined as one positive assay supported by documentation from the subject's medical record. The result may be any of the following:
- HIV-1 RNA PCR (> 5,000 copies/ml),
- Standard ELISA with confirmatory western blot performed after 18 months of age, or
- HIV culture.
- CD4 cell count: no restrictions.
- Viral load: no restrictions.
- Current treatment with stable antiretroviral combination therapy with at least 3 active drugs for a minimum of 28 days. The treatment regimen will not be started or changed for the purposes of participation in this study. Rather, this study will measure kinetics of the drugs in patients who have been receiving therapy at the direction of their treating physician.
- Regimen must be prescribed at FDA-approved doses for age.
- Regimens allowed:
- Atazanavir 300 mg po once daily plus ritonavir 100 mg po once daily, and
- Tenofovir 300 mg po once daily, plus
- At least one other antiretroviral medication prescribed at FDA-approved dose for age, excluding other protease inhibitors and NNRTIs.
- Ability and willingness to be contacted by study personnel daily for the two days prior to the pharmacokinetics visit, to take antiretroviral medicines at the same time in the morning daily for at least 3 days (one of those days being the day of the PK study visit), and ability and willingness to return to the clinic the day after the observed administered dose for a follow-up measurement of plasma drug concentration.
- Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy.
- Active therapy for malignancy.
- Known presence of gastrointestinal disease that would interfere with drug administration or absorption.
- Grade 3 or higher ALT or AST.
- Grade 3 or higher Creatinine.
- Concurrent treatment with another protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
- No evidence of anemia greater than Grade 1 according to the ATN Toxicity Table for Grading Severity of Adolescent Adverse Experiences (see Chapter 11 of ATN MOGO).

Fresh Glow Baked Mineral Blush
If sheer blush with a radiant glow finish is what you want, this is a great product to consider.
Total Intensity Long Term Relationship Fierce Color Eyeshadow
These high-quality eyeshadows are outstanding!
Add to Faves?
Prestige Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; some winning products in almost every category, including foundation, concealer, powder, blush, and eyeshadow (the singles); great liquid eyeliner; excellent automatic lip liner.
Weaknesses: Many so-so lip products and eye pencils; average mascara; uneven and incomplete distribution of products, even in the same city (which is very frustrating); the makeup brushes are almost impossible to find (and as such were not re-reviewed for this book).
Prestige is a bold name for a cosmetics line that is sold in mass-market outlets and drugstores at prices that any self-respecting makeup snob would scoff at. Yet that would be a mistake, because there are some undeniably good products, especially pencils, powders, and eyeshadow. The quality of these items often exceeds the reasonable price, and is a prime example of a case where expensive does not equate with being better.
Keeping in step with its name, much of the packaging in this line is sleek and functional. All of the compacts are one-piece units (meaning no caps to twist off or fumble with) and the compact foundations include handy mirrors and sponges. Weak points to ignore or consider carefully include the liquid foundation with sunscreen, the eyeshadow duos and quads, and the lipstick, which has taken a turn for the worse since its last review.
You may still find some Prestige makeup brushes available, but these were not reviewed because their availability is haphazard and the company no longer promotes them on their Web site or in their catalog. In fact, "haphazard" is a good way to describe how this Florida-based line is distributed. Found in most major drugstores, the mix of products tends to vary greatly. For example, we had to visit seven locations in the Seattle area just to find everything listed in the Prestige catalog—and this isn't an overwhelming line. It's impressive that there are over 60 eyeshadows and 70 lipstick shades available, but you'll be lucky to find a fraction of that in any single store. The only consistently available items (and all shades were available) were the eye and lip pencils. However, if you don't insist on seeing everything Prestige offers in one place, there is every reason to pursue some essential beauty purchases with them.

With its rich sound performance, BeoLab 6002 is proof that a loudspeaker does
not have to look loud in order to make an impression. It is a fantastic sounding
hi-fi speaker in a beautiful, utterly minimalist package. Achieve the ultimate
compact hi-fi experience with the addition of a BeoLab 2 sub-woofer.
Designed to disappear
The designer's ambition was to create a loudspeaker that would be perceived
as nothing more than a thin line. The slim profile helps it blend into any living
space. And BeoLab 6002 does it beautifully.
Optimised for exceptional sound
With BeoLab 6002, two 125 watt ICEpower amplifiers are placed directly into
the speaker. This active technology improves the performance and allows the
purest of sounds with the simplest of shapes. Application of Adaptive Bass Linearisation
ensures optimal bass levels at all volumes.
No two loudspeaker are precisely the identical
Since no two loudspeakers units have precisely the same physical characteristics,
Bang & Olufsen calibrates them individually to be certain that each BeoLab 6002
that leaves the factory is identical. For optimal sound each time you listen
to them, the loudspeakers continuously fine-tune the signal received from the
sound source before distributing it out to the separate bass and treble power
**EFFECTIVE FREQUENCEY RANGE is measured @ -10 dB re. Ref level (200 Hz - 2000
*SENSITIVITY is measured @ dB SPL 1m re 125 m
