This study investigated whether human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects with raised cholesterol switching their nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbone from Kivexa (Epzicom) to Truvada had an improvement in their fasting total cholesterol after 12 weeks of treatment. The study also investigated whether any improvement had a beneficial effect on the overall cardiovascular risk.
Drug: Truvada + Kaletra
Drug: Kivexa + Kaletra
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label

An Excerpt From a Chapter in a New Book I'm Compiling: "At Best Jesus Was A Failed Apocalyptic Doomsday Prophet"
And when we look at the New Testament we see this theme reflected in many places. In what has become known as the "Little Apocalypse," Mark chapter 13 (cf. Matt 24), we find Jesus instructing his disciples about the time when the temple would be destroyed and the "Son of Man" comes. Making a crystal clear reference to a prophecy in the book of Daniel ('the abomination that causes desolation') Jesus tells them it will be shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem that took place in 70 A.D:
"But in those days, following that distress, " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.' "At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens." And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."Given what we already know about the apocalyptic milieu in which Jesus preached and granting for the moment that this passage comes from the lips of Jesus, his disciples would understand exactly what he meant. The sign of the coming "Son of Man" was the distress and tribulation surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The lesson of the fig tree merely reinforces the point that just as they can predict when summer is coming when the fig leaves blossom, so also can they know the "Son of Man" is coming when they see the destruction of Jerusalem. [Critical studies of this passage lead many scholars to think Jesus probably didn't speak of the destruction of Jerusalem here, only that he predicted the imminent coming of the "Son of Man." Such a prediction may have been added by the author of this first gospel after the fact, leading his readers to conclude the eschaton would take place immediately based on Jesus' prior eschatological preaching]. And as such the very generation of people living in his day will witness this apocalyptic event, which echoes clearly what we read earlier in Mark 9:1 (cf. Matt. 16:28; Luke 9:27) when Jesus says to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."
Theologians have tried to construe the word "generation" in the above passage to mean "race," as in "this race of people will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." But that is not the obvious natural reading, given the whole context. Edward Adams, Senior lecturer in New Testament Studies at King's College, London, states it forthrightly: "It is virtually certain that 'this generation' means the generation living at the time of utterance. The time frame in this verse is thus the lifetime of Jesus' own contemporaries." [Edward Adams, The Stars Will Fall From Heaven: Cosmic Catastrophe in the New Testament and its World (New York: T & T Clark, 2007) p. 164.] We can see this from a study of the Greek word itself, in which the primary usage means "generation" rather than "race." The translation "race" wouldn't make any sense here anyway, since no Jew of that day would ever consider the possibility that their race of people could "pass away" given their assuredness of special divine promises of favor. We also see this from the whole context of the Jewish milieu and from what we read in the rest of the New Testament itself. We read of Jesus saying: "I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes" (Matt. 10:23). Speaking to the Sanhedrin during his trial Jesus reportedly said, "you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:16; Matt. 26:64). The meaning is obvious.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Call it a railroad without worries. No schedules, no track repairs and no fuel expenses interfere with the happiness of the Mendoza Railway in Helper.
That's because the locomotive never leaves its 10-foot track in the front yard of Benjamin Mendoza on Helper's First Avenue.
The engine bearing the company name is the eight-foot-long welded creation of Mendoza and his friend Glenna Ranney.
The paint job should look familiar - it's patterned after the Utah Railway, where Mendoza worked for 31 years before retiring two years ago.
"I have little trains inside my house, but I wanted something bigger," he explained. So he decided to do it himself, even though he had never welded anything before.
He bought a little welder at a yard sale, learned a bit about techniques, and went to work shaping and joining the steel plate. "I made some mistakes," he admitted, "but I used a grinder to take out the bumps."
The project took a long time, about three months as near as he can tell, mainly because he was still learning how to weld and he and Glenna had to search for the materials they used.
They used Glenna's home in Price as their workplace for the locomotive and build the track and pedestal on the Helper lot.
When the engine was ready, they hoisted it into the bed of a pickup and rolled it off neatly onto the tracks.
It didn't take long for people in the neighborhood to notice. "All the neighbors are happy with it," he said. (It was a neighbor who called the Sun Advocate to come out and do a story.)
So now Mendoza and Ranney are planning on expanding the railway by one more engine. The next one will probably have a different color scheme..

|Feds to Sue NC Over Voter Law
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 30 September 2013 05:38
The U.S. Justice Department is filing suit today to stop North Carolina's new voter ID law, highly criticized in the national news with Watauga County being ground zero for much of the debate. Attorney General Eric Holder said he will announce the lawsuit at noon today, along with the three U.S.
attorneys from North Carolina. Criticism centers on claims that the law will disenfranchise African-American and elderly voters, while the Republican-led NC General Assembly claimed the law will protect the state's voters from potential fraud. Changes made in the first meeting of the full board of the Watauga Board of Elections made national news over changes made that would impact student voting at ASU and create one of the state's largest precincts for Boone voters. That action was rescinded and reworked by the next meeting of the board.

Not recycling that
To the Editor:
In an article in the Journal titled "Waste deep in confusion," the director of Public Works, David Picozzi, stated that "if you use toilet paper or paper towels then you have something to recycle." I'm all for recycling Dave, but I'm not reaching down there for you or anyone else, even with a rubber glove.

Geisler, Bruce
Bruce Geisler Collection, 1969-1984.
Call no.: PH 049
In the early 1970s, the documentary filmmaker Bruce Geisler dropped out of Pomona College one semester short of graduation, drove across country, and joined the Brotherhood of the Spirit commune, then the largest commune in the eastern United States. During his four years living with the Brotherhood, later renamed the Renaissance Community, Geisler learned the craft of filmmaking, before returning west to earn an MFA at the film school of the University of Southern California. Geisler has received a number of awards as a screenwriter and filmmaker including the Grand Prize for Best Screenplay from Worldfest Houston and the Dominique Dunne Memorial Prize for Filmmaking, and, in 2007, he released his feature-length documentary, Free Spirits, about the Brotherhood of the Spirit/Renaissance Community and its ill-fated founder, Michael Metelica Rapunzel. Geisler is currently a Senior Lecturer in the UMass Amherst Department of Communication.
A collection collection documenting everyday life in the commune and performances by the commune band (Spirit in Flesh and Rapunzel), the Geisler collection was assembled largely during the making of Free Spirits. In addition to many hours of raw and edited footage taken by members of the Brotherhood of the Spirit and Renaissance Community, the collection includes approximately 1.5 feet each of ephemera and newspaper clippings relating to the commune.

The Last Kingdomby Bernard Cornwell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the middle years of the ninth-century, the fierce Danes stormed onto British soil, hungry for spoils and conquest. Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until but one realm remained. And suddenly the fate of all England—and the course of history—depended upon one man, one king.
From New York Times bestselling storyteller Bernard Cornwell comes a rousing epic adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle as seen through the eyes of a young warrior who straddled two worlds.
"Bestseller Cornwell leaps back a millennium from his Richard Sharpe series to tell of the consolidation of England in the late ninth century and the role played by a young (fictional) warrior-in-training who's at the center of the war between Christian Englishmen and the pagan Danes. (Most of the other principal characters — Ubba, Guthrum, Ivar the Boneless and the like — are real historical figures.) Young Uhtred, who's English, falls under the control of Viking ber-warrior Ragnar the Fearless when the Dane wipes out Uhtred's Northumberland family. Cornwell liberally feeds readers history and nuggets of battle data and customs, with Uhtred's first-person wonderment spinning all into a colorful journey of (self-)discovery. In a series of episodes, Ragnar conquers three of England's four kingdoms. The juiciest segment has King Edmund of East Anglia rebuking the Viking pagans and demanding that they convert to Christianity if they intend to remain in England. After Edmund cites the example of St. Sebastian, the Danes oblige him by turning him into a latter-day Sebastian and sending him off to heaven. Uhtred's affection for Ragnar as a surrogate father grows, and he surpasses the conqueror's blood sons in valor. When father and adopted son arrive at the fourth and last kingdom, however, the Danes meet unexpected resistance and Uhtred faces personal and familial challenges, as well as a crisis of national allegiance. This is a solid adventure by a crackling good storyteller. Agent, Toby Eady. (Feb.) Forecast: Cornwell's own life served as inspiration for this novel: he, too, was orphaned (and adopted by members of a strict fundamentalist sect). Readers who followed the story of his reunion with his birth father in 2003 (while he was on tour with Sharpe's Havoc) will take special interest in the personal angle here. Four-city author tour. " Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Cornwell's no-fail mix of historic tidbits and good-humored action makes the usually gloomy ninth century sound like a hell of a lot of fun." Kirkus Reviews
"Cornwell's best historical fiction pleases us mightily in the way his renditions of the great actors and events of yore stray from received versions. Such contrariness is partly the product of meticulous research and partly of a mischievous sense of humor. Happily, both inform The Last Kingdom throughout." The Washington Post
"An acknowledged master of rousing battlefield fiction as evidenced by his crackling Richard Sharpe series, Cornwell also deserves praise for his mesmerizing narrative finesse and his authentic historical detailing." Booklist
"In historic period and emotional complexity, this is arguably a more broadly imagined world than Bernard Cornwell has offered in his 36 previous novels." Boston Globe
"Cornwell is a talented historical novelist, and he's at the top of his game here — all the more so because the history of the ninth century is much less documented than the nineteenth." BookReporter.com

Thanks to all your good luck vibes, I finished my Different Lines shawl! I bound off and blocked it last night, and it was dry this morning! Gotta love that shetland yarn. It softened up a little, but it's still very woolly. I had some trouble figuring out how to wear the shawl, but I like it best if the bound off edge (the wide green stripe below) is nearest my neck. She's an oddly shaped little sucker, for sure. You gotta knit one.
Oh! And Veera, the designer, just put all her patterns on sale for 30% off! And she has a beautiful new website! Go check it out, and if you have been meaning to buy this shawl pattern, the time is NOW people!
All the details are on my Ravelry project page here. I had so much fun with this pattern that this morning I started the other one, the ubiquitous Stripe Study. I'm already in love.

Taliban attack Marines in 'Wild West' of Afghanistan
COMBAT OUTPOST SEMINOLE, Marjah, Afghanistan — Something explodes through the air, followed by rounds of gunfire.
My eyes pop open and I sit up, but my head hits against the mosquito netting and I fumble to find the zipper. In the 5 a.m. darkness, in the dizziness of my mind, half awake and half asleep, I wonder, what should I grab first: my camera or my armored vest?
Or should I look for Dan, who spent the night in a small tent outside?
Before I decide, Dan comes barreling in searching for his camera first and armor second. All around us in the tent, Marines are waking and gearing up for what looks like could be the beginning of a long day.
Vehicle Commander Cpl. Joshua Dumas of Creswell, Ore., is wide awake.
"When that first RPG went off," he said, "that's when we all came running out of the tent."
For Echo Company, stationed in Seminole for nearly three months, it is not uncommon to hear shots fired near the base around 8 or 9 a.m., but today is the first time in several weeks they've heard and seen such an intense firefight.
Although two RPGs are heard flying overhead, sources said the actual attack is targeted towards the contractors, not the base. Outside of the base, Taliban forces and Afghan contractors in charge of road construction security for this area in Marjah are engaged in a firefight.
The Americans hire locals to clean the weeds out of wadis and to work on the roads. The Taliban regularly attack those workers to discourage them from cooperating with the US forces. So the Americans have hired and armed local men to provide security for the workers.
It is these security forces under direct attack, although according to sources inside COP Seminole, at least some firepower has been aimed at the combat outpost - if nothing else, as a diversion to keep the U.S. and Afghan National Army forces occupied with their own defense rather than coming to the aid of the security contractors.
Now fully armored, Dan and I walk outside as another RPG is launched overhead and past the base. Marines outside are still getting dressed and a few joke about how they should make waffles as rounds pop in the near distance and tracer rounds gleam in the sandy fog of the day's dawn.
An ANA soldier is already at the Hesco barriers (huge sand barricades topped with concentina wire) ready to defend the base. Within a few minutes, a group of Afghans are lined up against the wall. The red lines of the tracer rounds shoot out into the beige haze, and the fire is close enough I can feel my teeth shake in my jaw.
"So they had run just right up to the wall and started peeking over and firing there," said Sgt. Joel Hinojosa, Non-commissioned Officer in Charge of the Embedded Training Team, recalling the first moments of the firefight.
Hinojosa lives, eats and works with the ANA, preparing them to stand alone against the Taliban. Marines like Hinojosa in charge of training the ANA offer assistance during the firefight.
Sgt. Richard Marasigan of the 3rd Civil Affairs Group directs soldiers in weapon placement.
"It [an ANA's weapon] was between a Hesco where they would have limited left and lateral limits," he said. "So if they put it on a Hesco, they could swing it out to the side some more."
The ANA are eventually told to hold fire, but they stay at the barriers, periodically looking out into the orange-grey air. Hinojosa is impressed by the ANA's motivation and willingness to fight, but he can see there is still room for improvement.
"They weren't in stable firing positions, they couldn't see too much, and some of the machine guns might of not been perfectly aimed, but we're working on that," he said. "So that's part of the reason that we're here."
After nearly an hour of action, the sound of gunfire begins to wind down.
When the Marines are finally told to stand down, they either go back to sleep in their mosquito net tents set down in rows on the dusty ground or they make coffee.
One Marine, Pvt. Randy Curtis, showed his Afghan Army counterpart how to clean his weapon. "Taliban, bad," a few ANA said in broken English to no one in particular as they walk through the base.
When Dan and I first headed to Echo Company, we heard it was the Wild West. It turns out it's so wild you don't even have to leave the base to see action.
"Just another day at Seminole," said Dumas from Creswell, Ore.
And it's only 6:30 a.m.

CHAUMONT Waterfront property owners and some farmers in Lyme should be seeing a hefty increase in their assessments because of the recent revaluation, according to the towns chief assessor.
We havent had a revaluation in 25 years, said Marsha J. Barton, Lymes chief assessor. There was a lot of inequity. And the purpose of the reassessment is to make sure everybodys paying their fair share.
Town property owners should be receiving informal assessment notices in the mail reflecting preliminary changes. Tentative assessment rolls are due out May 1.
Many waterfront residents will see their assessments jump fivefold, even sevenfold in some cases, but this does not mean their taxes would increase by the same proportion.
The local tax rate for the town, county and school district combined is projected to decrease to $16.15 per $1,000 of assessed value from roughly $55 per $1,000 and the new assessment values should closely match what their properties are worth on the market, Mrs. Barton said.
What theyre assessed for is what theyll be able to sell the property for, she said.
Lymes overall equalization rate is at 31 most likely the lowest equalization rate in Jefferson County, Mrs. Barton said. The equalization rate is a figure set by the state that reflects the percentage of full value of the average assessment in the town. Thus, the state has determined Lymes assessments are at 31 percent of full value.
The state recommends that the equalization rate be at full market value.
Roughly 3,400 parcels were re-evaluated by town assessors and county appraisal aides and technicians assisted by state staff since the middle of last summer. County staff appraised Lyme properties owned by town assessors, such as the three parcels in Chaumont that Mrs. Barton owns, to avoid any conflicts of interest.
We did not do our own assessments, Mrs. Barton said. Its really as fair and impartial as we can make it.
Residents can set up meetings with local assessors if they wish to discuss their tentative assessments.
Grievance day is May 28.
If residential property owners are unhappy with their assessments after appealing to local assessors, they can ask the towns Board of Assessment Review to adjust their assessments on Grievance Day, The next step would be to take their cases to small claims court. But commercial property owners must make their case in state Supreme Court.
To set an appointment with a town assessor, call 649-2387.

Dog Eat Dog World: Challenges of an Entrepreneurial Start-up
Editor's note: "When Theory Meets Practice – Stories From The Workplace" is a feature in the Huntsman Post in which professionals share stories of challenging events that tested them with the unexpected. The names of the companies and of David Herrmann's partner in the story below have been changed.
David Herrmann faced a funding surprise after he launched his pet supply company.
By David Herrmann, executive-in-residence
It was my boss who got me thinking about taking a leap of faith and starting my own business. It proved to be a leap I survived even though I had a faulty parachute.
I had worked for a local pet supply company, ACME Pets, for six years when it was taken over by a large national company, GC Pet Supplies (GCPS). It was during a weekly sales meeting for the new company that the inspiration came. When my new boss announced some changes that most of us thought would be bad for our customers he offered this reassurance, "Who are the customers going to get their supplies from if they don't like it?" By acquiring our company GCPS had secured a pet supply monopoly in the region.
It was at that moment that I began to consider starting my own company. I later found out that a friend, Dwayne, also thought the time was ripe for GCPS to have some competition. Dwayne had worked for ACME Pets for nine years, starting as a warehouse labourer while he finished college.When he graduated, the owner approached him about taking over a sales route for a departing rep. The position was perfect for him. His warm genuine personality quickly won over his customers, and eventually Dwayne increased his territory's annual sales to more than $2 million, one-third of that office's total.
I had started six years earlier as a buyer and had built a strong relationship with more than one hundred vendors from whom ACME purchased products. I worked hard and simultaneously pursued an advanced management degree. My efforts paid off, and I moved up the company ladder rapidly. At the time that GCPS bought ACME, I was the general manager of the company. As such, I had ample opportunity to build relationships with many of the customers and vendors that worked with ACME.
After seven months of research, we determined that our potential enterprise had merit. We left the company to start our new business, Qualco Pet Supply. Our challenges were far from over. We still needed to secure the required financing to get the company off the ground.
GCPS was obviously not happy about the potential competition and it attempted to flex its muscles and discourage suppliers from selling to our new company. Suppliers and customers, however, liked the idea of a new pet supply distributor in the area, and Qualco was reasonably successful at securing commitments. In fact, the number-one supplier in the industry sold and shipped product to Qualco three months before its planned opening. This provided legitimacy for Qualco that we were able to leverage. The fact that we had already procured a significant amount of product from the industry's top supplier opened doors at many other suppliers.
GCPS became increasingly distressed by the competitive threat and practiced open retribution on suppliers that sold to Qualco. The effect, however, was the opposite of what it intended. GCPS's tactics generated a wave of support among suppliers for Qualco, both overtly and covertly.
While Dwayne was shoring up support from customers for the projected launch, I worked feverishly on business plans and projections. Based on discussions with potential customers, we projected that they could capture approximately one-sixth of the $6 million market in our first year. We determined that it would ultimately take $300,000 to $400,000 in inventory to offer a full line of products, which would be vital to achieving our long-term market share goals. We could not, however, justify that many dollars in inventory for the initial launch. So, I calculated the bare minimum level of inventory that we believed would be needed to get started. If Qualco could begin with $175,000 of inventory, with a 30% margin, and minimum four turns, we would be able to generate $1 million in sales.
In addition to the inventory costs, I anticipated that Qualco would need $87,500 for other start-up expenses. I felt we would need at least $300,000 in funding to cover inventory and other start-up costs, with a small cushion for operating losses and an accounts receivable balance. Monthly operational expenses were expected to be about $22,000, including principle and interest on the $300,000 note. We planned to push any spare monies into additional inventory. I knew that finances would be tight, but I believed that the goals were attainable.
Fortuitously, we found a mutual friend who offered to help financially with our new business. Rather than providing funding for the venture, our friend opted to help us secure a bank loan that would be personally guaranteed by each of the three of us. The loan would be collateralized with the value of our homes. We were approved for a $300,000 loan from a branch office of a large regional bank. The pieces were falling into place, and we were well prepared for the launch of Qualco Pet Supply (or so we thought).
Always Expect the Unexpected
Armed with formal bank approval, we borrowed some short-term money from friends to pay for our first few product orders and to cover some of our start-up expenses. We leased warehouse space and hired a couple of key employees. We also used personally-guaranteed loans to purchase trucks to be used for delivery.
Finally, the big day to close on the loan arrived. The much needed money would be used to pay off the short-term loans and acquire the additional inventory we needed to finally open the doors. All three partners, and their wives, traveled to the bank to "sign their lives and homes away."
As we entered the bank, we were greeted by a nervous loan officer who informed us that a "committee" had met that morning and revised the bank's previously approved loan down from $300,000 to $175,000. The bank was unyielding, even with the threat of a lender liability suit.
Given the start-up expenses already incurred, that left Qualco with half the needed money for inventory and nothing for operational losses or accounts receivable. We were literally sick! We had run the numbers a dozen times and could not see how the business could survive with the amount of money that was available. We had already spent tens of thousands of dollars and had committed to tens of thousands more. There just was not enough money for inventories to get the job done.
In hindsight the bank did us a favor as they forced us into a bootstrapping scenario that formed the base of our competitive strategy. We became the most efficient operator in the industry, later opening offices in Denver and Seattle (GCPS was forced to close in two of those markets), and servicing thousands of retail accounts in 11 western states. Specifically, we looked at how we could double our turns on inventory, pre-sell orders, tighten our AR, consolidate delivery routes, and contract delivery on routes we were light on, etc. Our people were financially motivated towards efficiency, everyone from the buyer to the delivery staff. We grew substantially in a market in which growth curve had peaked. It also became the basis for what I teach in the entrepreneurship program here at the Huntsman School: "doing more with less."
