Thieves target catalytic converters
EUGENE, Ore. - Thieves are crawling underneath parked cars and stealing the catalytic converters to sell the platinum and other precious metals for scrap.
Eugene police have seen a rise in converter thefts, with 11 reported this month so far and five in May.
The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries says catalytic converters don't have serial numbers, so they can't be tracked. That makes a stolen converter all but impossible for a scrap dealer to identify
"What's being taken is the mesh, if you can see it," explained Nate Fife of Knecht's Auto Parts. "That's what's worth the money."
The platinum and other valuable metals in this little exhaust part is worth enough that thieves go to great lengths to steal them -- right from underneath your car.
Last Friday, someone jacked up vehicles in broad daylight at the Lane County Fairgrounds and cut out the converters.
"That's a new one for us," said Pam Pomerleau with the Lane County Fair. "First time we've ever had a catalytic converter stolen."
What makes the fairgrounds an attractive target? The fairgrounds is a park and ride lot. People park their cars and take the bus to work and come back 8 or 10 hours later. In the meantime, there's little traffic.
And if your converter is stolen, you have a problem. It's loud to drive without one, not to mention illegal. And they don't come cheap.
"The most expensive converter was for that truck," said Steve Rogers with Kidsports, a victim of catalytic converter theft. "That was $1,200. Then it went down a $670, and three for about $142."
Add labor and it was a big bill this year for an outfit that provides sports programs for children.

A High Country youth is on his way to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC. After four years of intense local and regional competition, 12-year-old Josiah Wright of Ashe County won this year's Regionals in Winston-Salem to gain a chance at the national competition May 30th.The word that sent him to the big event? Philately. According to Webster's Dictionary, it means the collection and study of postage stamps, but for Josiah, it means that all those hours of study paid off. Incidentally, in addition to being a champ, Josiah Wright is also a philatelist.

A city shaped by a complex and interesting history, Almería is characterized by its blend of Arabic and medieval European architecture, Arabic fusion cuisine, Spanish nightlife, and popular beachfront resorts. Mix in the local fascination with American 'spaghetti westerns,' and your tickets to Almería are your key to a unique vacation.
Top Almería Attractions
- Explore the towering La Alcazaba monument, a massive 10th-century Arabic stronghold, which offers incredible views of the city
- Tour the fortress-like Almería Cathedral, built in the 16th century to defend the town against pirate attacks, and featuring an impressively ornate gothic and baroque interior
- Visit the Parque Natural Cabo de Gata - Níjar, a massive nature reserve with its unspoiled beaches and huge diversity of native fauna
Discover Almería
Travel deep beneath the earth to Los Refugios de la Guerra Civil, a labyrinth of shelters built to protect the local population from air raids during the Spanish Civil War. Or visit the Centro Andaluz de la Fotografía, an intriguing exhibition of world-class photography.
Almería's Pleasures
With so many unique attractions, it is easy to forget that Almería also boasts an abundance of popular beach resorts. The region's climate is mild and generally sunny. When sun goes down, the city springs to life with tapas bars featuring live music until the early hours of the morning.

Im new at lunux, but some of my friends are not, so we started a linux group at our high school.
i made the site, http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/linuxmichigan
you dont have to be in michigan to join, but i was wondering if anyone would like to. Please, post something in the forum and tell me what u think
As I do have it in my policy to allow advertising of Linux pertaining material, your site is incomplete. I am going to let it stay open, but it is locked, and trust me, this is somewhat to allow for you to keep a non bruised ego. Please, if you want to start a Lug and advertise it here, by all means go ahead, but have your site complete, and I would suggest something other than an angelfire address, hosting can be very cheap and http://www.godaddy.com provides cheap domain names.

"I just love him very much and there will be always be a hole in our heart for Brian," says Cherley Grogg of Walker, the mother-in-law of gas well explosion victim Brian Hopkins.
Remembering a husband, father, son and a hard worker who loved what he did.
"He liked the job, he loved the job...he worked very hard, he put everything he had in his work and anything Brian done he put everything he had in it," says father-in-law Del Grogg.
Brian and Brenda were childhood sweethearts married for 23 years. Their love was unsurpassed.
"A very good man," Brenda says of her husband. "He was a hard worker, honest, he believed in God, he loved his boys very much, he loved me very much."
Brian leaves behind two sons: Ben, 18 and Brad, 21.
His in-laws saw him as one of their own.
"He was like a son to us, been in the family for a lot of years... and Brian always put everybody first," Cherley says.
He was the type of guy you just wanted to be around.
"Brian had a good presence; I mean we loved being around him," Del says.
Cherley says that her son-in-law would walk into a convenience store or anywhere and before he left, "everybody knew Brian was there."
"And no matter what you was going through, he always tried to make you feel better," she says.
Brian made an impact on the world as only he could.
"Just touched a lot of people's lives," Brenda says.

Anyone know why the unhandled exception?
I dunno why, but I know that I got it to work fine. The only problem is that because you can't unmount the first CD and then mount the second, you have to copy all the data files across from the second CD, and then you have the violence lock on, with a password which nobody seems to know. The game works fine, you are using the 2.0-branch aren't you? Maybe they've put something in the CVS recently which causes it to fsck up.

- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The overall objective of the proposed research is to test the hypothesis that Near-infrared Light-emitting Diode (NIR-LED) therapy will stimulate mitochondrial function, attenuate oxidative stress, and improve cell survival and vision in subjects with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON).
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)
Device: Near-infrared light-emitting diode (NIR-LED) therapy (Med Light 630 PRO (Medical Devices Inc.))
Phase 1
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Near-infrared Light-emitting Diode (NIR-LED) Therapy for Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)
- N95 Peak Via pERG and fERG -PhNR [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary comparison will be a paired comparison of pre- and post-treatment retinal ganglion cell N95 pattern electroretinogram (pERG) peaks and fERG - Photopic Negative Response (PhNR). Pairing will be done between a subject's treatment and control eye.
|Study Start Date:
|July 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Symptomatic LHON patients.
Study Arm 1) symptomatic LHON patients. Male and female LHON patients with treatable bilateral optic atrophy. Treat the worse of the 2 eyes if there is a measurable difference in subjective visual functions (visual acuity, peripheral vision).
Device: Near-infrared light-emitting diode (NIR-LED) therapy (Med Light 630 PRO (Medical Devices Inc.))
Subjects will be exposed to light emitted from a Med Light 630 PRO (Medical Devices Inc.) at a wavelength of 630 nm (+/-15nm) with an exposure of 4 J/cm2. This is accomplished by applying the 50 mW/cm2 LED-generated light to the closed study eye for 80 seconds. Treatments involve application of the LED-generated light for 80 seconds, twice daily.
Other Name: Med Light 630 PRO (Medical Devices Inc.)
No Intervention: Asymptomatic LHON mutation carriers
Study Arm 2) asymptomatic LHON mutation carriers. Can be male or female; have some dysfunction, with changes occurring over months. Patients in study arm 2 will not be exposed to NIR-LED, but only undergo diagnostic studies.
Detailed Description:
To determine the effects of short term (3 month) near-infrared light NIR-LED therapy on anatomic and functional abnormalities of LHON as assessed by a wide variety of ophthalmologic tests, including visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, pattern electroretinography (pERG) N95 retinal ganglion cell peak, fERG-PhNR (flash ERG - Photopic Negative Response), and fundus photography.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Sex - male and female. Men are affected with visual loss more frequently than women, with a male predominance of ~85%. A minimum of 25% of men and 5% of women at risk for LHON experience visual loss.
- Age - 18 years or older. The onset of visual loss typically occurs between the ages of 15 and 35 years, but otherwise classic LHON has been reported in many individuals both younger and older, with a range of age at onset from 2 to 80 years.
- Diagnosis of LHON or a carrier of the gene mutation. Patient must be evaluated by molecular confirmation, with the 11778 and other mutations of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy stratified in later data analysis.
- Able & willing to provide informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has an optic nerve disease other than LHON.
- Significant renal disease, defined as a history of chronic renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplant.
- Participation in an investigational trial within 30 days of NIR-LED treatment that involved treatment with any drug that has not received regulatory approval at the time of study entry. (Note: subjects cannot receive another investigational drug while participating in the study during the first 6 months.)
- Major surgery within 28 days prior to participation or major surgery planned during the next 6 months. Major surgery is defined as a surgical procedure that is more extensive than fine needle biopsy/aspiration, placement of a central venous access device, removal/biopsy of a skin lesion, or placement of a peripheral venous catheter.

|Arrests Surrounding Festival Fill Area Jails
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 12 August 2012 06:04
The music played—and hundreds of arrests were made. It was the Gnarnia Festival in Beech Mountain, and like Woodstock, it may be talked about for decades for events other than music. A tremendous NC ALE operation,
backed by local law enforcement from a number of agencies, including the Watauga and Avery Sheriff's Offices, circulated through the crowds inside and outside of the festival, and the number of felony arrests filled both county jails by Saturday. Drug, alcohol, and associated charges were filed by the team of officers, meaning many of the music lovers—many from out of state—will get to return to the High Country in September—for their court dates.

Travel Blog : Bombay / Mumbai Revisited
Posted 23 December 2008 - 11:06 PM
Day 1
It is after a long time, almost 10yrs that I would be visiting family and friends in my childhood city of Mumbai (or Bombay as I may still call it). The main purpose of the visit is to attend the Navjote (a Zoroastrian / Parsi ceremony, similar to a bah mitzvah) of my 2 nephews. After a little persuasions, my wife who has never been to India also decided to join me on this trip.
India and particularly its largest city, Mumbai, with around 20 million residents is a place of incredible contrasts and juxtapositions, not just in wealth but also in its philosophy, architecture, culture, religion, etc. My intention is to share the food & culture experiences while on this trip and welcome any recommendations you have and encourage you to ask questions. Due to a hectic schedule and limited Internet connectivity, I may not be able to respond immediately, but will do my best.
So, buckle your seatbelts, here we go…… For completeness sake, I will start with documenting the trip including the journey over, albeit with sparse details, but please feel free to ask any questions you might have. We arrived in time for our flight, but unfortunately the plane did not. After an hour of waiting in the lounge and another hour at the gate, we were finally on our way. We were flying Lufthansa, which I was glad to note had upgraded their business class seats since I last flew them, enabling them to become almost flat, include a lower back massage and noise cancelling headphones with the entertainment system. Lufthansa has a good concept of partnering with star chef's like Sasoor Lee (who has restaurants in Toronto and NYC) and Hemant Oberoi, Executive Chef of the Taj Group, to create a menu offered in Business and First. Unfortunately, the execution lacked quite a bit and some of the items were barely edible, which was sad. The wine selection however was quite nice and we were introduced to a Reinisch Johanneshof Zweigelt from just outside Tattendorf, Austria, the same town as our flight attendant, who was also happy to write down the names of some other local vintners we would enjoy.
Our trip included a 4 hr layover in Frankfurt, which was a blessing in disguise, as it gave us some time to take a shower and get something to eat (though the selection at the airport, including the lounges, is still somewhat limited for such a cosmopolitan city). There is a small ily stall in one of the terminals which we went to, but somehow the $9 cup of double espresso did not taste as good.
Posted 23 December 2008 - 11:57 PM
Almost 23 hours after leaving our doorstep we arrived in Bombay to 95F (35C) days, one of the hottest winters in recent history. It was about 80F at 2:30am when we landed and walked into a sea of people as we exited the airport. My wife commented that it was like being on the Today show (a famous show in the US), where an audience had gathered to watch the live broadcast, expect this audience was 10 times larger….at 2:30am!! Luckily we were picked up by my brother, sister-in-law and chauffer. For the first 2 days we would be staying with my Brother and family and then move to a hotel (which are hard to find at this time of the year, so book early if you plan to visit Mumbai in peak season).
We rested for a bit but were still getting accustomed to the traffic sounds at 4am. Unfortunately since my last visit, the population in the city has grown, which means that the traffic and congestion as also risen, while the living conditions of the average person has gone down due to sky rocketing real estate prices.
As in most of India, our morning started with a cup of freshly brewed Indian tea, with mint and "foodina" (a dried long green leaf with has mild flavors of mint and lemongrass). Tea is the popular beverage of choice enjoyed throughout the day, not just in the morning and late afternoon. Shortly thereafter we had Sev (sweet vermicelli noodles) and Dahi (yoghurt), which is served at auspicious occasions in the Parsi community. Over the next few days you will notice the important role that food plays in the Parsi culture as certain dishes will re-emerge to mark certain occassions.
We also enjoyed omelets made with ground cilantro, chilies, onion, cumin, garlic and ginger, pan fried in some pure ghee (clarified butter), which were served with freshly made roti (or rotli as it is called in Gujurati).
For lunch we enjoyed Dhan Dar Patio (a Parsi dish of white basmati rice, yellow pulses, and a sweet-sour-spicy sauce or Patio which is combined with the dal and typically contains fish or shrimp, like the one we had).
The Patio
Due to time limitations, I won't go into too much detail here on the Parsi community other than to say that we are followers of Zoroastrianism, a religion founded in around 1500BC in Persia, the world super power at that time, led by emperors such as Cyrus the great and Xerxes. My ancestors migrated to India in around 700AD to avoid religious persecution, where they went on to form a small but powerful community given the name of Parsis (people from Parsa, or Persia). In the Victorian era when India was under British rule, the Parsi community was undergoing a renaissance of sorts and had many prominent business tycoons, lawyers, politicians, artists, etc. You can google for more information, which will help set the context for some of the material to follow in the coming days. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
The evening started with some drinks, including, I am happy to report, a wine made in India. Though a decent attempt, I am sad to report that California and Bordeaux have nothing to fear…yet. I have tasted some good port from Goa (not surprising given the Portuguese and British influences) and have heard of some decent sparkling wine thanks to some vintners from Champagne, France taking interest in specific areas in India.
For dinner we decided to ease into things with a trip to Copper Chimney restaurant in Worli, which is well known for its Tandoor based dishes, especially the Murgh Makhanwala (Butter Chicken), which my wife likes. We started with a few mixed kebab platters including Shish kebab, Tandoori chicken, Rashmi kebab, Tangdi kebab (baby lamb legs marinated in garlic, ginger, cumin and yoghurt) which were cooked to perfection.
The Tangdi Kebab
We enjoyed these with a variety of tandoor breads, including plain and garlic naan and roomali roti (roomal = handkerchief, so the dough is kneaded and stretched until paper thin and translucent and then placed over an upside down dome shaped tava (a vessel shaped like a wok) to create a huge rote, which is then folded into several layers before serving). After several tandoor platters, we still decided to get the Chelo Kebab, which is a Persian dish made with rice the consistency of risotto, combined with cream and eggs (or egg whites), topped over a kebab (in this case the traditional lamb kebab). I am glad we decided to get this as it was the star dish of the night, offering a contrasts of flavors and textures, all while demonstrating that not all kebab/tandoor based dishes need to be overly aggressively flavored. I will certainly try to replicate this dish at home and encourage you to do so as well.

In all the excitement of ordering myriad dishes and enthusiastic eating that followed, we realized that we had neglected to order the dish that brought us here, so we decided to get some Murgh Makhani to go.
Posted 24 December 2008 - 12:09 AM
Our day started again with some Indian tea (and coffee), followed by fresh coconut water and Akuri (scrambled eggs with onion, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cumin, chilies and tumeric) w/roti.
I decided to join my sister in law for a trip to the market while my wife got a message. A trip to the Indian market is not for the faint of heart or those sensitive to certain smells or those with high regard for western standards of cleanliness. Each butcher or fish monger had their specialty.
This person only made minced lamb – first chopped by hand and then put through a hand wound meat grinder,
And this person sold lungs, kidneys, etc
We also bought some large prawns, and a few small mudbug like fish called "Levta" which are marinated in spices, pan fried and consumed whole, similar to anchovies.
Waiting for a snack
We prepped the shrimp along with some chicken for the grill and ordered some lamb biryani for a small family gathering. It was great to see old relatives again and man the grill for them.
Posted 24 December 2008 - 12:16 AM
Another quick breakfast of - you guessed it - Indian tea and eggs (eggs are big with Parsis, which you might have noticed).
We did some shopping on this day as we were getting ready for the Navjote ceremony to be held the following day. For those who have not experienced Indian traffic, especially Bombay traffic, the best way I can think to describe it is like 10,000 cars, buses, trucks, SUVs, bikes, scooters, rickshaws, bullock carts, bicycles, pedestrians and dogs all playing a game of chicken by rushing on to each other at full speed, horns blaring, only to see who can occupy the next inch of available road or so called pavement in this game of automobile based tetras. Luckily, our apt driver dominated and was able to get us to our hotel through a maze of back alleys only taking 1.5 hrs to cover 10 miles.
Crosswalk? What crosswalk?
To comment a bit on the contrasts, there tall buildings with extremely lavish homes kept up with a multitude of domestic help and a few feet away are people living in "Jopar Patti" (huts) in extreme poverty, amongst piles of garbage and stray dogs and cats. Moreover, many people living in rural locations and villages do so in even more poverty. This is perhaps the most overwhelming part for first time visitors, along with the traffic.

It's the day of the Navjote, so I left my hotel a little early to make my way to the other city of the city from where the hotel was located. Luckily traffic was not that bad (by Bombay standards) early in the morning.
Out of respect for other's privacy, I can only share a few pictures from the Navjote, especially since it was forbidden to take any pictures in a "agiary" (fire temple) until recently and is still frowned upon by some. The reason behind this IMHO is more to do with a historical promise made to the king of the region in India the Parsi's landed in around 700AD.
Traditional Parsi Outfit called Dagli
After the ceremony, we proceeded to the Ripon Club for lunch, an Institution founded around the turn of the century, which has preserved its British-India charm and is famous for Parsi cuisine. Wednesdays is a popular day since they serve a favorite Parsi dish called Dhansak. I highly recommend visiting the Ripon Club if you know a member who can get you in or PM me if you will be in Bombay and really want to experience this.

Lunch starts with a serving of Sev and Dahi (here we go again with the specific dishes for special occasions), followed by roti, "goor keri achar" (a sweet spicy pickle made of gaghery, mangoes, dates, carrots, red chilies, etc), "Sali Boti" (a sweet, slightly tart and spicy dish with goat that melts in your mouth, topped with the Sali or potato sticks/crisps which add a crunchy texture), Dhan Dar Patio (explained above).
Continuing with the juxtaposition theme, there are majestic examples of Victorian and Edwardian era architecture mingled amidst buildings that seemed to be haphazardly constructed with little attention to planning or design detail.

This was a long day since after a brief afternoon siesta, we got ready and departed for a private party hosted by my brother in a club which could easily have doubled for any in South Beach (Miami), London or Paris, complete with its DJ, dance floor, fully stocked bar, catered hors d'oeuvres and delicious buffet spread of Indo-Chinese dishes. The partying went into the early hours of the morning and a good time was had by all.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It puts a lot of your cooking into context for me. You look very dapper in your Dagli, by the way. Thanks for letting us all in to such a personal trip and family get together. I feel like I know you just a little better now.
Everything looks so delicious. I can almost smell it through the screen...

I must ask about the Indo-Chinese dishes. Is there a large Chinese population in India? Or is it just that Chinese food is the most popular "ethnic" food in India (pretty much everywhere in the world, you can find a Chinese restaurant--good or bad).

Given the hectic previous day, we decided to spend most of the day in and around the hotel, catching up on some much needed R&R. The morning started of with a stroll on the beach and visit to a local Barista shop (an Italian franchise started by 3 young now budding restaurateurs) for some espresso and cappuccinos. I am happy to report that Bombay now has several non-starbucks cafés that have sprout up severing a very respectable cup of coffee, on par with that those served in Europe, including Italy, but at a fraction of the cost. Most lattes and espressos cost between $1-$2.
The afternoon was spent with a dip in the pool and enjoying the ocean view, complete with coconut trees and small fishing boats in the distance. We enjoyed a club sandwich, pina colada and a Limca (the original bottled lime/lemon flavored carbonated soda).
Sunset from our room
For dinner we decided to take a Rikshaw to Taava, a restaurant famous for its kebabs and got a rashmi chicken kebab, which was so tender, it just fell apart and almost melted in your mouth. I highly recommend this dish if you are not sure you can handle the heat from the spices or if your tummy needs a spice break.

No, it is actually quite safe and the feeling I get is similar to a few weeks post 9/11. There has been visible increase in security but overall life went back to "normal" the next day. Today marks the 1 month anniversary of the attacks on Mumbai and there are tributes etc on the TV and news papers. There is a sense of renewed solidarity and posters on many streets depicting increased unity. The people are seeking action from the Government, which has taken several steps to increase overall security. Of course there is a lot more detail in the newspapers here than what I have seen in the US, but that is to be expected.
Yum, my kind of food! Is it at all scary to be in Mumbai right now?
Anyway, to illustrate an example of unity, Leopold Cafe, which was one of the attack sites opened for business soon after and has a line outside to get in. Many travelers, both domestic and international, kept their reservation at the Taj and like me would not want to stay anywhere else, just to prove a point.

Thanks Prasantrin, I will post more about the Indo-Chinese dishes in an upcoming post. Though the Chinese population is not that high, at least in Mumbai, China is a neighbor of India and has been, as you mention the original "ethnic" food available in India. However, I do think the Indian chefs have adapted the dishes to create a cuisine that could almost stand by itself.
Posted 26 December 2008 - 10:25 AM
Started the day with a stroll on the beach and grabbed some coffee from the Barista as none of the local snack places open until 9am. My wife seems addicted to their cashew muffins, which we plan to replicate at home. I had a hankering for a fresh coconut, but could not seem to locate the street vendor selling them.
We later went to my brothers house to run some errands, do some laundry etc and catch up on some shopping. Of course since we were going to be in the Opera House area, I wanted to stop and have lunch at the Kobe Sizzler, a place I used to frequent during my childhood years. For the uninitiated, a sizzler consists of a smorgasbord of meat, potatoes (steak fries or mashed), vegetables, cheese, onions, etc all served on a sizzling hot cast iron skillet (similar to the ones used to serve fajitas).
Mixed Grill - Chicken livers, sausage, chicken, steak fries, etc topped with an egg. Looks messy, but delicious
The satellite - Steak, mushrooms, cheese, steak fries and veggies.
Here is what we saw while shopping...note the phone number on the bike. Hmmmm.
After a bit more shopping, we headed to see an old friend on the other side of town for drinks and dinner at "The Club", in Juhu. We ordered a variety of dishes including some kebabs, thai and indo-chinese dishes. By the time we sat for dinner it was around 10pm and I was too tired to take pictures.
Posted 28 December 2008 - 02:20 AM
Eureka!! I finally found the coconut vendor by the hotel!! So I had 2 coconuts, a baby one with less coconut white "flesh" but more water and another more mature coconut with well developed flesh. This was followed by a stop at the local Barista shop for a latte and cashew muffins for my wife and another stop at a local Indian place since I was craving some Indian eggs (those who know me from the Breakfast Thread will not be surprised). I had them make me an Indian omelet and was a little disappointed that they did not have the traditional Indian bread, which used to be baked twice daily by local bakers who make 2 home deliveries, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon.

While hygiene may not be up to par of Western standards, what strikes me is the amazing freshness that Bombayites seem to demand. Almost every order for prawns, fish or meat starts with a question about when the poor thing was caught or sacrificed its life for deliciousness. In fact at my brothers house, they never put any meat in the freezer, it is got fresh a few hours before it is cooked from the market, which in turn slaughters the animals that very morning.
Later in the afternoon my nephews and sister-in-law visited us at the hotel and we decided to try this famous kebab place called Kasim's (?). Unfortunately they were still cutting the chicken for tonight, so we could not try some of the dishes they were famous for, but did get to try the king prawns, shish kebab, pomfret (a very popular fish, similar to pompano, but bigger), kheema (minced lamb in a thick gravy made of garlic, ginger, onions, cilantro, etc) and Nali gosht (lamb shanks).

We enjoyed an afternoon of swimming and playing with my nephews in the pool and Jacuzzi, before heading out for a few more errands and a bit more shopping. We returned to my brothers place for some tea and Vada Pav
Around 9pm we sat down for dinner which included Baked Crabs, Indian Mutton Chops – double rib chops are flattened, marinated in garlic, ginger, tumeric, chili powder, battered and pan fried. Delicious and succulent.

We also enjoyed Pan Seared Pomfret in spices, which had a crispy spiced skin, but tender sea-sweet flesh.
I had also requested French Bean ma Gohst, which as you might suspect contained French long beans with goat. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of this dish.

Our daily ritual now includes fresh coconuts every morning, followed by a latte and a muffin. Of course, I need my eggs, so I have this local restaurant make me an Indian omelet. I should ask them whether they make any other variations, but for now I am happy with the omelet. Most stores and vendors open around 10am-11am, which is a bit late for breakfast, so our options are a bit limited, unless we want to indulge in the hotel's offerings, which we have on occasion and while very good, does not offer the authenticity and charm that only local vendors, especially street hawkers can offer…more on this later.
Bombay city travel can drain a surprising amount of energy from you and it seems like we need some down time every other day to recoup…after all this is also a vacation for us so we are trying to mix in a bit of R&R by laying by the pool, opting for some massages, pedicure for my wife, straight edge razor shaves for me, etc.
For lunch today we decided to try one of the distinguished restaurants in the hotel. We studied the menus placed outside each of the restaurants, which offered Indian, Chinese and a health conscious fusion based selections. Since my wife had a craving for dim sum, we opted for the Chinese restaurant. The cuisine was top notch and flavors rivaled any of the restaurants I have tried, with the special added bonus of an ocean view and world class service, all for the price of what you would pay at a take-away place in the US (around $20/person).
Chicken Wonton Soup
Mixed Vegetables - this was in the Indo-Chinese style, which is more aggressively spiced and has bolder flavors than the Chinese dishes in the US
Hakka Noodles (another favorite Chinese dish in India) and Fried Rice
Pomfret in Singapore crab sauce (center) and Manchurian Chicken (1 o'clock)
Dessert - Vanilla ice cream and fruit (I was hoping for some lychee ice cream)
After a quick afternoon siesta, we headed for a family gathering on the other side of town. Though we travel in an air conditioned car, the sudden stop and go due to the traffic and bumps in the road can take its toll on you. Add to that back and neck complications that my wife and I have and it feels like you have just been in a boxing match.
After a few drinks and munching on some snacks at my Aunt's place, we headed for an Indo-Chinese restaurant (yet again) in south Bombay. One might suspect that the cuisine is the same, but the different styles yield not so subtle flavor profiles and is almost like enjoying two different cuisines.
This was Christmas eve and on the way back we ran into extra traffic from the people who were attending midnight mass and got back to our hotel a little after 1am to find little mini Christmas cakes and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us, compliments of the hotel.

Vadas are one of my new loves - I have to drive half an hour to get them though. The restaurant serves 2 of them with 3 chutneys and sambar. I haven't figured out the protocol for eating these. I tend to drag the things through the chutneys (one at a time) and drink the soup separately. They also serve a version with the sambar poured over the vadas. Or yoghurt poured over. Wonder if they are open for lunch today...
Posted 29 December 2008 - 08:45 AM
Everything there looks great, especially the prawns. It's also nice to see where you got your love for eggs.
I'm also interested in Indo-Chinese food in Mumbai. The combination is something I never thought about before, even though it makes perfect sense seeing the geography. What was in that dumpling in the dim sum place?
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Can't wait for more.

After waking up a little later than usual, we met my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas brunch at ITC, which is apparently a 7 star hotel (need to verify that). Of course we had to make a quick pit stop at the coconut vendor, who has become so accustomed that he begins to cut one as soon as he seems me coming.
Coconut vendor in action
Brunch consisted of an elaborate spread of Continental and Indian dishes including classics like salmon mousse, chicken liver pate, jumbo shrimp, oyster shooters, duck, cold cuts, cheeses, etc. and then stepped it up a notch by offering lobster and tiger prawns grilled to order on a tepenyaki style grill.
The Hotel where we had brunch
Chicken liver mousse
Duck confit

Selections from the grill
Roast Piglet
There was also a select of Indian dishes such as
5 different Biryanis, lamb, bhuna gosht, etc
Yoghurt in terra cotta pot
Dessert spread included assorted cakes including a Macroon Gateaux, tiramisu, mud pie (an Anglo Indian favorite), Kulfi (Indian ice cream) and rabdi to name a few.
When we returned to our hotel in the evening, we were too full for dinner, but the light from the street hawker's stalls attracted me like a moth to a flame. So I decided to walk around by the sea, burn off some calories so that I can sacrifice my tummy for the sake of this blog ;-)
The first vendor I came across was one selling peanuts and "chapta channa" (flat grams). These were better than the peanuts you get on the plane, but not comparable to the peanuts that come from a place in the state of Gujarat called Bharuch.
Channa Vendor and his wares
Next was a vendor selling black channa, which are boiled, mixted with sautéed onion, tomatoes, raw mangoes and other spices. Note the make shift piece of cardboard masquerading as a spoon.
Channa vendor looking gangsta
The next stop was at a stall with a small charcoal grill, who offered a variety of chicken and paneer kebabs. Paneer is a pressed cheese, with a texture similar to tofu, popular as a vegetarian substitute for meats. I decided to try a Malai Chicken kebab (less spicy, marinated in cream) which was grilled to order and then wrapped in a rumali roti with onion, a squeeze of fresh lime and topped with some sauces and chutney. I wish there was a way to capture the smoky aroma that perfumed the air. It was so appetizing that I decided to try the paneer version and though I typically prefer non-vegetarian dishes, the charcoal lent a wonderful char to the outside surface of the paneer while softening the inside, leading to an extremely delicious snack.
Roadside BBQ
Ended the night with a sweet Paan...a mixture of sweet and savory items including areca nut wrapped in a Betle leaf, which serves the purpose of a palate cleanser and breath freshener.
Hmm….guess I was hungry after all.

Thanks Kim and Shelly. Despite best intentions, I haven't been as successful in posting in a timely fashion. Internet time seems to vanish quickly when bought by the hour.
I feel the same as Kim--what a great gift to come home to! The sights and foods are so wonderfully foreign to me. I can't imagine living in such a city. How great would it be to never have to have meat in the freezer??? A short walk to the market and it's fresh every day!
Life in Bombay has its pros and cons, on one hand you have cheap labor which enables fresh produce and plenty of domestic help to assist with the daily tasks like cooking, but on the other, the selection is not as vast as you have in the US, the hygienic conditions might...ummm...vary and since super markets are sparse, there is no one stop shopping, so you are forced to travel to different areas in traffic that seems like a rally, for different items.
ETA: I have some video footage of a short rickshaw ride in some traffic which I will post the link to if I can upload it to Youtube.

Thanks for taking the time to photograph and write this up. What is "Pav"? Is that a word for a sandwich?
Vadas are one of my new loves - I have to drive half an hour to get them though. The restaurant serves 2 of them with 3 chutneys and sambar. I haven't figured out the protocol for eating these. I tend to drag the things through the chutneys (one at a time) and drink the soup separately. They also serve a version with the sambar poured over the vadas. Or yoghurt poured over. Wonder if they are open for lunch today...
Tsquare, Pav means bread and a vada can be a generic term for a "fritter". The vada I posted about upthread is filled with potatoes (similar to a samosa filling) popular in Maharashtra (the state Bombay is part of) and is enjoyed between a piece of bread, similar to a small kaiser roll and is sprinkled with dry sambar or chili powder.
The version in yoghurt is popular in Gujurat (Western India) and does not contain potatoes but Urad dal and rice and is soaked in water to soften it before placing it in the yoghurt. The south Indian version has a similar vada, but it is not dipped in water and served with sambar/sambal and chutney.
So there you see an example of the same dish with its regional variations. There is no "national cuisine" in India, just regional cuisine, which is enjoyed by all.

The seafood is rich and abundant. As big as the prawns are, I remember having even bigger ones as a kid, that my Dad used to bring from a remote river by our factory.
The Dim Sum consisted of shu mai, Char Siu Bao, a lamb dumpling, etc. Not bad for an introductory experience to Dim Sum for Mumbaikars. Dim Sum is new to Bombay and until maybe 5-7 years ago, Chinese meant the typical Indo-Chinese fare to which I have not done justice yet and will see if I can post more about later.
Posted 30 December 2008 - 05:08 AM
I'm very jealous of your continuing coconut consumption. The ones in Singapore were tiny, and we've just arrived in KL, so we haven't found any, yet. We're very hopeful, though!
I'm surprised dim sum is so new to Mumbai. I would have thought something like bao would have done well there as street food (easy to eat out of hand, just like samosas).

This might be a backward/dumb question, but I don't get out much lol. How is the water there? Do you drink out of the faucet or do you use bottled water?
Posted 30 December 2008 - 11:51 PM
No question is dumb and this is a very valid question. Unless you are used to the water (which is filtered and in many cases passes through UV rays to kill the bacteria), I would stick to bottle water. We started on bottled water even to brush our teeth and no ice for the first 3-5 days and are now consuming "perfect ice" (they distill the water), brushing and gargling with tap water and drinking bottled water/sodas.

Re: Losing Weight
Cut out all soft drinks, drink water, no sweets, eat a colorful array of foods (ie - veggies out the wazoo) and cardio like there is no tomorrow.

Re: Losing Weight
I use to be 230 during winter, 198 now (6 feet tall) doing exactly what these guys are saying. No juice, no soda, (make tea, don't buy tea), drink hella water (I drink like 6 bottles a day now). Lay off carbs and calories. (I use to eat two part rice, one part veggie. Now it's two part veggies, one part rice. No rice at all is better.) It's going to be hard to control what you eat if you don't excersize. Run like nuts.
Re: Losing Weight
Weight watchers is a very good diet plan. Remember your going in the military not competing in Mr. Universe. Follow "KISS" principle to exercise: stretch (warm-up), daily seven exercise's, run three miles, and cool down (stretch). As your fitness level increases then start doing pull-ups, rucking, and rope climbing. These will help you be successful in BCT. It's a lifestyle change; so embrace the suck!
Furthermore, make sure your with standards HT/WT do not rely on tape (three people three different measurements). If your in shape and can run a high 1st class PFT 270/300 that is half the battle. Make sure you study up on your on "knowledge", be prepared mentally (lots of yelling and chaos), sleep deprivation, and not much time to eat chow! In closing, remember Kelly Clarkson....what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Good luck.
Re: Losing Weight
I'm going to reply and keep people apprised of a totally different workout. I call it the summer job workout. I started working a summer job today. I have 9 weeks, and this job involves cleaning up a construction site. I never stopped sweating today. I worked 10 hours. I drank over one gallon of water, with lemon juice. I like to put a little lemon juice in my water, to give a little flavor as well as some vitamin C. Tomorrow I plan to drink 1.5 gallons of water with lemon juice. I weighed 244 the other day. But here is the key. Today I overate at lunch, and ate mostly fried, greasy things like cold fried chicken, etc. I think I ate 3 good-sized pieces of fried chicken. Tomorrow I am taking raw vegetables and fruits to snack on at the morning break, lunch break, and afternoon break. I will still eat protein, but I will try to limit the grease. I had zero veggies today. Tomorrow I should eat tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, apples, and grapes. I still have some baked chicken from a restaurant meal the other day.
This should be interesting.
Re: Losing Weight
Give Medical Weight Loss a try. It's a guaranteed (and fast) program that will teach you nutrition and portion control.
Check this out....
A year ago, I spoke with a recruiter and I got taped. I was at 52% body fat. Sick! I was over half fat. I lost 50 pounds on my own through killing it at the gym and dieting and last I checked, I was around 38%. Still over, but a hell of a lot better than 52%. I recently joined MWL and in a month, I'm down another 15 already. At the end of my 27 week program, I'll be down 80 and well within the requirements to join. I didn't want to just barely meet standards, I wanted to have lots of wiggle room.
Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Would I rather eat a junk food and not have to be strict on a diet? Who wouldn't! But my goal of A) enlisting and B) living past age 50 make the hard work worth it. If I can do it, anyone can do it, trust me. I had to undo 29 years of being unhealthy and since turning 30 last December, I've made a lot of improvements. It's going to take time and it won't be easy, but like they say....anything that's worth it won't be simple. Or something like that.
Re: Losing Weight
Hey. So I am female as well and wanted to lose weight quick. The first thing my recruiter told me is be less concerned about the number on the scale and be more concerned about the number on the tape measure. I was 8 lbs over but taped just fine. I started drinking A LOT of water. I did that three day diet to kick start losing weight. Like half your body weight in ounces in water a day. There is an app to remind you to drink more water too. Plus I started running (I hate running.. the only thing that is getting me through is this stupid zombie running game). I ship out in four weeks and I am terrified because I don't want to be the chubby old one who can't keep up.. but along with cutting weight... please remember to exercise.
Re: Losing Weight
I'm a new enlistee, way overweight and have been running/jogging everyday, push-ups and sit-ups.. Since doing joining my first ever RSP drill, I'm feeling great at the moment and I don't know how do I measure up now.. Also a good advice (cut the sugar any way you can!!!) Sugar can and always make you overweight (Sugar cravings are the worst, believe me).. I know its painful but we gotta try and do it!!! HOOOAAHH!!

This week's #TFClive - A Look Ahead required a couple of attempts.
Take One:
Take Two:
We are days away from the Toronto FC home opener – dubbed 'dome opener' by some – under the retractable roof at the Rogers Centre.
Reds take on Sporting Kansas City at 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 9 and we are giving away four tickets to the match via Twitter.
To enter, simply tweet at @torontofc the following:
I want to see #TFClive on March 9 at Rogers Centre! Please enter me to win 4 tickets to see @TorontoFC v Sporting KC this Saturday.
That's all you need to do, copy, paste and tweet at us. However, to please our lawyers once more, the real rules of the contest are available here: http://ow.ly/ikFWB
Good luck everyone.
When Toronto kicks off the 2013 season in Vancouver at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Ryan Nelsen's debut as head coach won't be the only new item on the agenda.
On Twitter, where I host the #TFClive chat on @torontofc, a pair of tickets to the March 9 match at the Rogers Centre can be won for the Tweet of the Match.
The rules are simple, make me laugh while supporting Toronto using #TFClive and you could win. Then there are actual legal rules that make lawyers happy: http://ow.ly/icwhP
When Toronto FC open their MLS season Saturday in Vancouver, General Manager Kevin Payne will finally have some results from which to base his rebuild.
In just three months on the job Payne acquired striker Robert Earnshaw, traded Designated Player Eric Hassli, moved the first pick in the MLS SuperDraft, selected Canadian Kyle Bekker third overall, replaced manager Paul Mariner with Ryan Nelsen and negotiated the retirement of veteran DP Torsten Frings.
Senior writer Mike Ulmer asked Payne about future players, the direction of the club and who will provide leadership now that Frings is gone.
Mike Ulmer: It's clear TFC will struggle to score.
Kevin Payne: We are in the process of signing a player (Earnshaw) we hope will be available on Saturday who is a very accomplished EPL and Champions League goalscorer. He will help us.
MU: What about players already on the roster?
KP: Justin Braun is probably not available for this game. We drafted Taylor Morgan in the supplemental draft. His value will be as a late game super-sub. He's a big, explosive kid with a great nose for the goal. There's another player named Ashton Bennett who we signed and who has great natural talents around the goal and who is fast and quick. He's going to create issues for people when he gets on the pitch. We hope Hogan Ephraim and Kyle Bekker will help.
MU: How will you shore up the team's ability to defend?
KP: That's where how most of the work has been done up to this point. I have a theory you have to earn the right to play good soccer. Defending is a mentality. It's mostly about discipline and courage and mentality. That's what we need to instill first.
MU: Is Ryan Nelsen's background as a defender central to that?
KP: Nellie is not necessarily obsessed with a system but he is very devoted to several principles. A key one is having our players understand how they can be in control of a situation even though the situation may not be to our advantage.
MU: Explain that.
KP: He's trying to get our players to understand how to support one another, how to delay plays. He's trying to control what's happening on the field even though we don't have the ball. That was something Ryan was very good at as a defender.
MU: What are your expectations?
KP: My expectations are we will be a far more competitive team, individually and collectively. We will be far more disciplined, individually and collectively. I think we'll l be a harder team to play, that we will give up far fewer goals and we will become a team that's particularly hard to play against at BMO Field.
MU: Are you confident of adding more firepower as the season progresses?
KP: We will add more talent. There are a couple of players we are looking at for the summer. They are very important players on their teams so we can't get them until then. We're willing to wait. There are some advantages to that since they will come at a lower cap rate.
MU: Will these players be big names?
KP: One player in particular is a player we want to build around for three or four years. We're going to spend a lot of time on due diligence over the next couple of months.
MU: How do you replace the experience provided by Torsten Frings?
KP: You can't really replace a guy like Torsten who played in two World Cups and countless professional games in Europe. I'm looking for Stefan Frei, who has always been a leader on this team, and Darren O'Dea to step forward. Darren has the personal qualities to be a good leader. He's a good player, he's played at a high level and he's very well-liked. I'm looking for a lot from Darren.
Toronto FC players, coaches & staff arrived in Vancouver on Thursday night ahead of Saturday's 2013 MLS season opener against Whitecaps FC (TSN at 6:30 p.m. ET).
Reds will train at BC Place on Friday afternoon and that session will shed some light into which players Toronto will have available for First Kick on Saturday.
There was certainly a lot of excitement on Twitter Thursday when Wales international Robert Earnshaw announced he has signed with TFC. Club president and general manager Kevin Payne mentioned earlier in the week that Toronto was looking at the former Cardiff City striker. However, the final paperwork is yet to be complete and Earnshaw's availability remains uncertain as of Friday morning.
We will have more updates from BC Place on Friday via Twitter, Instagram, YouTube & Facebook and a complete preview on TorontoFC.ca ahead of Saturday's season opener.
Below: Assistant coach & former TFC captain Jim Brennan greeted by a fan at the airport in Vancouver.
It comes as no surprise to anyone who knows Torsten Frings that the German legend and Toronto FC captain would be classy to the end.
When he announced his retirement on Tuesday, he did it because he knew he couldn't contribute to a full season and in the MLS structure he can help his team more by stepping aside. Such is the selfless sacrifice fans expect from leaders and Frings didn't disappoint, though many are disappointed to see him hang up his boots.

My personal admiration for Frings has less to do with football.
Returning from Chicago on August 5, 2012, I was desperate not to miss the 100 meter final at the London Olympics. Reds lost 2-1 to the Fire the night before, finishing with nine players due to a red card and an injury. We had an early lead ruined by late goals, that old chestnut, though Frings was a warrior and according to the fans' poll, our man of the match that night.
The mood was less than jovial when we landed at Pearson. I quickly stepped away from the team, found one of those kiosks disguised as a restaurant and had the TV channel changed to the big race. Unexpectedly, I was joined by Frings in the empty chair to my right. He was set to share a cab with then-TFC goalkeeper Milos Kocic but didn't like the idea of a staff member sitting alone at the airport. If a World Cup finalist wants to watch the Olympics with me, even out of pity, who am I to object? Surely the prospects of seeing the world's fastest man – Usain Bolt, not me (to clarify) – also piqued his curiosity.
The three of us watched Bolt win the gold, naturally talked a bit about football and our lives and then Frings insisted on covering the ride downtown. An international superstar, one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and my ride home. There are some perks to being in this business.
Frings takes care of his teammates, even the ones he isn't immediately responsible for after a lousy flight following a heartbreaking loss. We would later learn that he was playing with a hip injury that would lead to season-ending surgery and subsequent retirement.
Frings will be severely missed wherever he has made his mark. Certainly in Toronto.
In a second consecutive Toronto FC match featuring mostly trialists and players needing minutes, the Reds again played to a draw, though this time showing great resiliency in clawing back level from a two-goal deficit to finish 3-3 against Sporting Kansas City.
On Sunday, Toronto forfeited a two-goal lead against Rollins College in a shortened match at Winter Park, Florida with a similar lineup. On Wednesday in Orlando, it was the Reds playing catch-up and succeeding.
The stand-out player of the day was Supplemental Draft pick Ashton Bennett (video below). He worked with Andrew Wiedeman to set up Toronto's opening goal by Jonathan Osorio in the first half after Kansas City had taken an early lead.
The match seemed to get away from the Reds on either side of halftime, with successive goals giving KC a 3-1 jump, though Bennett answered back with a brace at the 71st and 73rd minutes.
Toronto has one more game to play in Orlando versus Kansas City. That will take place at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 23 in the closing match of the Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic for both clubs.
Following a rest day Toronto FC was back on the training pitch on Tuesday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The latest squad list remains the same with the Reds prepared to test some of the players in a scrimmage against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday.
In the event that TFC can't get enough of Peter Vermes' team (Toronto will open its slate of MLS regular season home matches against Kansas City at the Rogers Centre on March 9), the opponent in the finale of the Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic on Saturday, February 23 has been changed from D.C. to KC. That match will take place at 3 p.m. ET. MLSsoccer.com will not be streaming this contest on Saturday and currently there are no viewing options in Canada. In the U.S., it will be shown on ESPN3.
Lineups and important details from Wednesday's scrimmage will be posted on the Toronto FC Twitter account @torontofc shortly after 11 a.m. ET.

The primary objective of this multi-center sub-study of USPHS Study 23: "Intensive Pharmacokinetic Study of Intermittent Rifabutin and Isoniazid with Daily Efavirenz in Combination with Two Nucleoside Analogs for Treatment of HIV and Tuberculosis Co-infections," is to compare the pharmacokinetics of rifabutin at 600 mg twice a week in combination with efavirenz 600 mg daily to the pharmacokinetics of rifabutin 300 mg twice a week without efavirenz. Secondary objectives are: (1) To describe pharmacokinetics of both rifabutin and efavirenz in combination regimen, (2) To evaluate the safety of concomitant efavirenz and rifabutin, (3) To assess the effect on absolute neutrophil count by changing rifabutin dose and adding efavirenz to the regimen, (4) To develop models of optimal sampling times for rifabutin dosed twice a week, (5) To describe the pharmacokinetics of isoniazid in combination with efavirenz daily with two NRTIs, (6) To compare the pharmacokinetics of isoniazid with and without efavirenz.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Intensive Pharmacokinetics of the Nelfinavir-Rifabutin Interaction in Patients With HIV-Related Tuberculosis Treated With a Rifabutin-Based Regimen
BACKGROUND: There are two concerns regarding rifabutin and INH pharmacokinetics in this population: 1) Malabsorption of anti-TB medications is frequent in this population and 2) Many antiretrovirals and other drugs frequently used in the management of HIV-infected individuals are inhibitors of the cytochrome p450 3A4 isoform and result in increased levels of rifabutin. Correlation of the pharmacokinetic and clinical outcomes in the setting of these interactions is essential.
METHODS: The study will be done on the General Clinical Research Center at Duke University Medical Center, on an inpatient basis (depending on where the patient lives). No one who is suspected of being infectious or is infectious from TB will be enrolled on the GCRC. After informed consent is obtained, each subject will be admitted to the GCRC twice; the first admission will occur after at least four twice weekly doses of intermittent rifabutin and prior to beginning antiretroviral therapy and the second admission will occur two to six weeks following the institution of an antiretroviral regimen including efavirenz. During Admission #1, blood will be drawn at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 21 hours post dosing with INH and rifabutin. During Admission #2, blood will be drawn at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours. Efavirenz will be given at time points 0 and 24 hours post sampling. TB drugs will be given at 3 hours (so that sampling times subsequent to INH/rifabutin dosing will correspond to those of Admission #1). Patients will be interviewed regarding concomitant medications, gastrointestinal symptoms and meals relative to study drug dosing. Sixty days following the last dose of PK study medicines, a follow-up visit or phone call (including review of medical record) will identify any adverse events.
DATA ANALYSIS: Frequency distributions will include plots of the data, distribution curves to test for normality, parametric and non-parametric measures of central tendency and dispersion, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk W test for normality. Means will be reported + the standard deviation (SD). The percent coefficient of variation (CV) will be calculated as (SD/mean) multiplied by 100%. Correlation analysis (JMP) will be performed across the subject and outcome variables using non-parametric techniques (Spearman Rho, continuous data only). The dependence of outcome variables (the pharmacokinetic parameters) upon subject characteristics (demographic data such as age, weight, CD4 count, etc.) will be determined by using Y by X analyses, one parameter at a time (continuous or nominal data). Subsequently, models with multiple X variables will be constructed using forward addition and backward deletion. Correlations between parameters and covariates will be considered statistically significant at p 3/4 0.05.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion criteria: Eligible subjects enrolled in Study 23 or HIV-infected patients with culture confirmed or suspected tuberculosis. Subjects must be currently receiving tuberculosis therapy including twice weekly isoniazid and rifabutin and currently not receiving antiretroviral therapy. Subjects must be willing to begin an antiretrovial regimen containing efavirenz and two NRTIs (combinations defined by protocol) at the requisite dosing. Exclusion criteria include hematocrit of less than 25%, pregnant or lactating women, prior use of an NNRTI, or use of a protease inhibitor or select medications defined in the protocol. Women of child-bearing potential must agree to practice an adequate (barrier) method of birth control and submit to serum pregnancy testing with 14 days of enrollment.

|Jeremiah signed by Eagles
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 27 May 2010 13:16
Former Appalachian State University quarterback Daniel Jeremiah has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as a scout.
Jeremiah, who transferred to ASU after playing the 1997 season at Northeast Louisiana, will be a College Area Scout with the Eagles. He has been an NFL scout for six years with the Baltimore Ravens (2003-2006) and most recently with the Cleveland Browns (2007-2008).
He graduated from ASU with a degree in broadcasting management and marketing. He also served as a production assistant for ESPN's Sunday Night Football from 2001-2002, and he also had more than 19,000 followers on Twitter. He also recorded several podcasts leading up to the NFL draft.
The Twitter account and his Wed site, movethesticks.com, have been disabled. One of his best games at ASU occurred during his sophomore year when he scored on a one-yard run in overtime leading the Mountaineers to a 30-27 win against Wake Forest in 1998.

|Former ASU coach indicted
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 03 July 2010 13:30
Travis Jones, a former assistant coach at Appalachian State University, is in trouble with the law.Jones, who coached at ASU from 1998-2000 and is currently the assistant defensive line coach with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, has entered a plea bargin agreement for his involvement concerning a real-estate scam in Texas. Jones changed his plea from non-guilty last week.
A sentencing date has not be announced, but Jones is hoping for probation. Jones, who was involved in the fraudulent financing of two properties, was indicted in March along with 40 other defendants on one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Jones was also one of 14 accomplices who were "solicited by John Barry, convicted real estate swindler,to invest in real estate by using their credit to qualify for and obtain mortgage loans in exchange for payments, " according to the indictment. Barry reportedly used networks of real estate agents, mortgage brokers and title company officials to defraud lenders on 114 properties in Texas, according to attorney Malcolm Bates, who outlined the case to reporters in March.
But Jones involvement in the scam, according to federal officials, is minor. Jones has been a member of the Saints coaching staff since 2008. He played college football at the University of Georgia (1991-94) before he joined the Georgia coaching staff in 1997.
Following his three-year stint with the Mountaineers, Jones moved on to Kansas (2001-02), LSU (where he was the defensive line coach from 2003-04), and the Miami Dolphins (2005-07). His involvement with the case came when he was a member of the Dolphins coaching staff.
