As Sebastian Mares have practically finished accepting test results from participants I would like to offer for all who care to take part in alternative listening test with the same codec contenders but different sound samples. Testing methodology is also a bit different and makes testing much easier because sound artifacts are clearly audible in most cases. The main task of a listener is to grade annoyance of those artifacts.
Test files could be downloaded from here ftp://www.soundexpert.info
Each time you click the link youll get random test file for one of these codecs:
Nero AAC 18.104.22.168
iTunes AAC 126.96.36.199
LAME 3.97 Beta 2
Ogg Vorbis AoTuV 4.51 Beta
WMA Professional 9.1
Shine 0.1.4 (Low Anchor)
Inside zip file youll find brief instruction and form for submitting results. The whole testing procedure is not hard and takes approx. 2-3 min., so you could easily test 5-10 files in one session. Each test file is 2-3 Mb.
Results of this test will appear on this page the same time with Sebastian Mares ones. After that they could be monitored in real time as new participants will add their grades.
Testing methodology used is described here - http://www.soundexpert.info/prozone.htm
Hope, comparison of both tests results will be interesting. If someone has any questions I am glad to answer.

Interesting to check out the comparisons at other bit rates... QDesign's mp2 encoder seems to beat LAME -V 0 --vbr-new in the 224 kbps range. But the diagram might be a bit misleading, I don't know how many people have taken the test.

AVG Technologies (AVG), a maker of anti-virus software, gapped up in the stock market today and ended the day up 14%. It helped lift IBD's Software-Security industry group 3.2%, to a five-month high, on the strength of its Q4 report, after a couple of down days for the group.
Sourcefire (FIRE) also helped lift the group, rising 14.6% on its own Q4 results, putting it among the top five risers for the day. IBD reported that Sourcefire is seeing more money from deals over $500,000 as big companies adopt its high-end security appliances suited to Big Data.
Sourcefire rivals Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and Fortinet (FTNT) gained 4.9% and 3.7%, respectively
AVG reported its Q4 results late Thursday, saying revenue rose 28% to $95.2 million. Earnings per share minus items rose 52% to 32 cents. EPS beat analyst expectations while sales met.
It's the fifth consecutive beat for AVG, said Cowen & Co. analyst Gregg Moskowitz in a research note Friday.
"AVG reported a good overall 4Q. While revenue was only in line, bookings, cash flow and EPS all showed meaningful upside," he wrote.
AVG counted 146 million users at the end of 2012, its first year as a public company, up 35%.
AVG CEO J.R. Smith said the company took steps to diversify its revenue stream by signing "important new search contracts" with Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO).
Smith said AVG made significant progress in mobile, privacy and cloud, and diversified beyond security with more than half of Q4 revenue coming from other areas such as search and PC optimization.
"In 2012, the number of malicious sites on the Internet grew more than 600%, and 85% of these sites were hosted on legitimate Web platforms that had been compromised," Smith said on the company's earnings call with analysts. "When you couple that with the fact that over 95% of all malware is delivered through the browser, it explains why over 90 million people choose to use AVG's secure search product."
AVG sees revenue of $408 million-$420 million for 2013, with EPS of $1.68-$1.88, with the first quarter coming in at a revenue range of $95 million-$98 million and EPS of 35-40 cents. The Q1 revenue outlook is in line with analyst consensus, Moskowitz noted, while EPS is above it.
AVG competes with other anti-virus software makers such as McAfee, which is now a unit of Intel (INTC), and Symantec (SYMC), the largest name in the security industry group, which got its start in anti-virus.

NEW YORK — Next week will be a busy one for Hawaii-born Bruno Mars. He's got the Grammy Awards — then a court date — then a performance to preview the NBA All-Star game.
Mars and Keri Hilson have been tapped to perform on the T-Mobile-sponsored magenta carpet on the pre-game show at the players showcase Feb. 20 in Los Angeles.
The NBA said Tuesday that Nick Cannon will host the festivities, to be aired live on TNT ahead of the big game.
Mars is up for seven Grammys at Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles. The next day, he is expected to be in a court in Las Vegas pleading guilty to a felony cocaine charge that will be wiped from his record if he stays out of trouble for a year.
.The singer, songwriter and producer is featured on the Grammy-nominated B.o.B song "Nothin' on You." He co-wrote Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" and has his own hit with "Just the Way You Are."

Have Pillow, will travel
Bryant brothers create a film that will debut at Oxford Film Festival in February.
Miles and Josh Miller are brothers and filmmakers. Both born in Little Rock, they were raised in Bryant. Both graduated from Bryant High in 1996, and both have a longstanding interest in film.
e," said Josh Miller. "Tim Jackson and I started Category One in 2004. Since then I have produced several projects which have shown in festivals in the U.S., as well as internationally. In 2007 I co-wrote and produced Miles From Home, which premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival."
"I'm a photographer, having shown my work in galleries and juried exhibits around the country," said Miles Miller. "I had a piece in the Delta Exhibit in 2009.
"Over the past couple of years I've produced a few short films including Antiquities for Daniel Campbell which won 'Best of Arkansas' last year at The Little Rock Film Festival."
The brothers' directorial debut, Pillow, premieres in February at the Oxford Film Festival in Oxford, Miss.
Tell me a little about Pillow. What's the general story and where did it come from?
MM: Pillow is a Southern Gothic tale of two brothers who go to extreme measures to please their overbearing mother. It's a period piece set in the Southern Plains of the 1930s.
JM: We really wanted to focus on the visual elements, rather than dialogue, with his film. It's what Hitchcock called "Pure Cinema."
MM: Pillow began about four years ago. The idea came to me while fishing.
JM: He kept it to himself and finally told me a few years later. When he pitched it, I knew we had to shoot it. I thought it was such a strong idea for a Southern Gothic piece.
MM: We wrote the script in the spring of last year, and shot in August. It was the hottest week of the year, but seemed like the hottest week in history. It was 105 degrees in the middle of a cornfield with no shade. It was actually pretty dangerous!
What are you feeling leading up to the festival? Are you nervous to share your work? Excited?
MM: I am excited and nervous, sure, but I anticipate a great time and look forward to meeting the interesting people that festivals attract.
JM: We're very happy to be premiering at a Southern festival. It feels like a perfect fit for our film.
How did you become interested in making films and how did you get started?
MM: We have been interested in film since an early age. Our grandmother was, and is, a huge movie buff. She would take us to the theater on a regular basis. By "regular basis" we mean several times a week. She didn't have a VCR so sometimes we would walk to the video store by her house and read the back of the VHS boxes. We were really just interested in stories. We would literally stay for hours and describe movies to each other. I'm not sure how healthy it was, but it was definitely a great exercise in storytelling.

Please talk a little about making films in Arkansas. What are the challenges? What are the benefits?
MM: Making films in Arkansas has been very special. It's our home. The community has been nothing short of amazing. Everyone is so eager to pitch in.
JM: The community has been very supportive. People just want to get in on the action. They're curious and this is still "shiny" to them, it's something they don't see every day.
Tell me about making films with your brother. Does it make it easier or harder to work with someone you're so close to? Who gets the last say when there's disagreement?
MM: There's no doubt it's a positive to work with my brother, for many reasons. What makes us such a good team is that we are so different, but so alike at the same time. It's somewhat of a paradox, but something very unique and special. There is a certain honesty that comes with it as well. We don't have any problems telling each other exactly how we feel.
You mentioned the two of you are planning to make a feature. What can you tell me about it?
MM: We have a feature written which we plan to shoot next fall. It's a contemporary piece set around central Arkansas. We have some very specific ideas for the film, but it's a little early to put all that out there. We can say that it was written with certain locations in mind, and at times written around specific locations.

JM: Right now we just hope for a good festival run with Pillow. We'll start getting serious about the feature later in the spring.
What's the hardest part about putting together a film? Shooting locations? Screen talent? Technical crew? Post production? What part do you dread the most and why?
MM: Every part of this is great! Yes, very stressful at times, but I can't think of anything I would rather be doing. I heard Ray McKinnon say one time "we could all be sitting around a desk, wearing a 3-piece suit … but we're making a movie!" I think that says it all.
For folks who can't make it to the Oxford Film Festival, when might they get an opportunity to see Pillow and how?
MM: For those that cannot attend the Oxford, we are submitting the film to many other festivals and many are in the South. You can also follow us on Facebook on the Pillowfilm fanpage.

The Postcard Age: Selections from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection
How tepid and colorless the text message and the tweet seem compared to these mini-masterpieces of snail mail.
How tepid and colorless the text message and the tweet seem compared to these mini-masterpieces of snail mail.
In the NYRBlog, Colm Tóibín writes, "Visitors lining up to see the word "madeleine" as it appeared in Proust's handwriting for the first time are in for a shock."
This exhibition is drawn largely from the city's own private collectors and from the Art Institute itself, so it does not simply show off what is well known or has been often reproduced.
Pietro Bembo (1470-1547) romanced Lucrezia Borgia, climbed Mount Etna and invented the semicolon. Titian painted his portrait. An exhibition in Padua focuses on the man and his collection, both extraordinary.
In the March 21 issue, Walter Kaiser writes, "What, in the end, is most idiosyncratic about the quattrocentro artist Piero della Francesca is the essential nature of his mind, which was molded both by artistic and by mathematical perceptions."
In the May 9 issue, Sanford Schwartz writes, "This exhibition of the mid-nineteenth-century portraitist William Matthew Prior refutes the idea that antebellum American artists usually showed African-Americans in a trivializing manner."
The bottle cap has never looked more transcendently beautiful than it does in the art of El Anatsui.
A micro room of our own: the Museum of the City of New York has a new exhibit called "Making Room" that presents a welcome antidote to the swollen McMansion: minute spaces beautifully designed.

At the end of next month, some friends of mine that I ride with every week want to ride ~55 miles on Hwy 1 from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz, stay the night, and then ride back to HMB the next day.
Has anyone done this ride before? It doesn't look all that difficult...but I've never ridden more than 25 miles in a single day, let alone 110 miles over 2 days.
None of us have road bikes...we all have mountain bikes, and we're all out of shape, so I'm guessing our average speed will probably be around 11-12mph.
Is there anything in particular that we should consider? We're all just recreational riders that occasionally commute and ride on MUP's.
I'll definitely be bringing a couple spare tubes, small tool kit, & frame pump. I'm considering getting a rack for my bike to install a bike trunk / panniers, instead of wearing a backpack, for holding a change of clothes, snacks, tools etc.
Any tips or insights (or just simple encouragement) are much appreciated.

Michael Feinstein frequently sang from the keyboard and served as piano soloist on a couple of numbers with the Cincinnati Pops on Saturday night.
- Filed Under
It was 104 at Riverbend Saturday afternoon. By the opening of the Cincinnati Pops' "Sinatra under the Stars" with Michael Feinstein Saturday night, the temperature had dropped 20 degrees and there was a gentle breeze. Heat spell broken, it was possible to celebrate the Chairman of the Board in relative comfort.
Singer/pianist Feinstein, himself a show biz icon, is also an archivist and revivalist, with a mission to preserve the Great American Songbook. For two mesmerizing hours he did just that by recalling one of its greatest exponents, Frank Sinatra. Clad in suit and tie, he strode across ...

But she also had concerns, including whether the federal government would approve providing Medicaid expansion dollars for it under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
"I think that's still a huge if. ..That's the biggest hurdle," said Englerth, whose nonprofit provides medical and dental services to patients in York and Adams counties, regardless of their ability to pay.
Corbett became the 10th Republican governor Monday to support accepting federal Medicaid expansion dollars to insure hundreds of thousands of working poor, although it remained to be seen how the Obama administration will respond to a list of demands Corbett wants satisfied.
Corbett administration officials said they submitted a proposal to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Monday to start the final negotiation toward an agreement.
It came after months of discussion between the two sides and heavy in-state pressure on Corbett to embrace a Medicaid expansion from groups including the AARP, labor unions, hospital executives and even the Republican-controlled state Senate.
His plan starts by insisting that Pennsylvania get a deal similar to one already being sought by Iowa and Arkansas.
Under that scenario, federal Medicaid expansion dollars would pay the premiums for newly eligible adults to get private insurance in a new health care marketplace instead of being used to expand the traditional Medicaid coverage that typically pays lower reimbursements to doctors and hospitals. As a result, he maintains that his overture to the federal government would not result in a Medicaid expansion, something that he says he opposes.
The Corbett administration estimated that 520,000 more Pennsylvanians could get health insurance under broader eligibility guidelines that include adults making up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $31,000 for a family of four.
The federal Medicaid expansion dollars become available Jan. 1. Corbett's public welfare secretary, Beverly Mackereth, has said that the administration will probably need until 2015 to negotiate and prepare for a Medicaid expansion plan, even if Pennsylvania agrees to accept the dollars.
During a news conference at Harrisburg Hospital, Corbett said one in six Pennsylvanians, more than 2 million people, are on Medicaid in the state, and changes are needed to make the program sustainable.
He said he wasn't going to discuss a Plan B, in case the federal government rejected his proposal.
"Remember that the Supreme Court gave the states flexibility," he said. "If the goal is for everybody to have quality, affordable health care, this is ... Pennsylvania's way of doing that."
Corbett also said he doesn't believe there's a need for state legislative approval.
The state Senate approved a Medicaid expansion plan in June, but it met resistance in the state House.
State Sen. Lloyd Smucker, a Republican who represents parts of Lancaster and York counties, supported that plan. He said if he were a federal lawmaker, he may not have voted for Obamacare.
But he said it is now law and Pennsylvania residents are paying taxes to the federal government that is helping fund the expansion elsewhere.
"We should find a way to take advantage of the potential dollars that are there," Smucker said. "... We have to think about the needs that we have in our state."
Smucker called some of Corbett's ideas "innovative."
State Sen. Rob Teplitz, a Democrat whose district includes parts of Dauphin and York Counties, said the Senate bill would have provided coverage to more Pennsylvanians, saved the state money and created jobs. He said if the governor's plan achieves the same goals, it's worth considering.
"But I don't want to waste any more time, especially when our surrounding states are going to be implementing their plans on Jan. 1," he said.
Englerth said she's concerned about who would continued to be left out under Corbett's proposal, and how people would be prepared to navigate the private insurance system in the plan.
But she said "any plan is better than no movement and no plan."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Here's a look at some of the proposed reforms for Pennsylvania's Medicaid program:
-- The plan calls for simplifying the existing 14 adult benefit packages into two commercial-like alternative benefit packages. The proposal said those packages would be similar to those provided in the commercial market that employers provide.
-- The benefit package for children would not change.
-- The plan would eliminate co-payments with the exception of a $10 dollar co-payment for inappropriate use of emergency room services. The proposal says that would encourage people to visit their family doctor.
-- The plan would require individuals to pay a monthly premium based upon their income. The monthly premiums would be structured in an upwards sliding scale of no more than $25, at the individual level, or $35, at the household level, at the maximum threshold of 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
Those base premiums could be adjusted annually based on inflation and medical trends, and they could exceed $25 in the future, the plan states.
-- The plan also requires work search and linkages to job training for all unemployed, working-age Medicaid beneficiaries, with limited exceptions.
Other parts
The proposed reforms for Pennsylvania's Medicaid program were part of the "Healthy Pennsylvania" plan unveiled Monday. Gov. Tom Corbett is also proposing eliminating the mandatory six-month waiting period for Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program.
Jenny Englerth, the CEO of Family First Health, praised eliminating that waiting period.
"That's been a huge, arbitrary barrier," she said.
The Healthy Pennsylvania plan also calls for seeking additional federal funding, above the $4 million provided in this year's state budget, to build and expand community-based, primary care health clinics throughout the state. The plan also calls for enhancing the prescription drug monitoring program to help patients receive addiction treatment and reduce the criminal diversion of prescription drugs.

"That shouldn't have happened," was the thought that ran through my mind. It was August 1989 and I had just finished a time trial for the cross country team. On the last lap I took off finishing well ahead of several varsity runners. I was your stereotypical shy, awkward teenager who, despite my enjoyment of running, assumed I wasn't good enough for the high school team. It was only after a friend encouraged me to give it a shot that I joined the team my senior year. My goal going into the season was to not finish in last place in any race, but after this time trial I was confronted with the fact that I might actually be better than I thought I was.
In retrospect I should have been more confident. In the year before I joined the cross country team I had been running several days a week. The training was unconventional, but I did it consistently. I ran the same 1.6 mile loop near my house, recording my times in a little calendar book, each time trying to run it faster than I had ever done before. The course was flat for the first and last ¼ mile, but in between was a rolling mile with a monster hill at the midpoint. Like I said, it wasn't your standard training plan, but it gave me a good base. On top of that, I followed the coach's summer training plan, so I was in good shape. In the end I exceeded my "just don't finish last" expectations and made varsity.
Flash forward 20+ years and I find my mindset is quite a bit different. Tomorrow is my last hard speed workout for the year. After that I begin my taper for a Thanksgiving Day 5K. I have been training hard all year. I've been consistent with my training, embracing my hated long runs, taking on hill workouts (which I use to avoid), stepping up my speed workouts and following a strength training routine every week, at least four times a week, since the beginning of August. I've never felt so prepared for a race.
I'm even at the point where I feel like an old guy PR under 19:01 is a given. I understand that a lot can happen before the race that's beyond my control (illness, weather, non-running related injury), but otherwise I see no reason why I shouldn't be well under that time. I've done the work, there's not much more I can add at this point. My goal is at least 18:30, but honestly I'd like to do better than that. Is that being cocky? I don't think so, I think it's just confidence. Unlike years ago, this time when I cross the finish line I hope to be saying, "Yeah, I knew this could happen."
You're strong! You're ready! Go get it!
In it for the long run.
Confidence isn't cocky when you know you can back it up. And experience lets you KNOW that, based on your training. So go get it!
I smell a PR! Good luck in the race.
Hard work = confidence. To me cocky is about arrogance and confidence is just knowing what you can do. Best of luck to you at your Turkey Trot.
Cocky comes out if you affects how you look at others. If you lack empathy to a 10mm runner and curse yourself for missing at 19.01, then cocky is bad and pointless. Confidence is recognizing what you are capable of and working toward it.
Most limitations are self made.
I'm so confident you'll reach your Thanksgiving day goal, I'm planning on having an extra piece of pie in your honor.
I'm seeing confidence, and I hope you stay confident. I think it would be cocky if you went out at a 17:30 pace for that first mile.
My long runs topped out at 80 minutes at an easy pace. The taper next week has a long run of 60 minutes, two short speed workouts and two 30 minute runs. The week of the race I'll just run twice on Sunday and Tuesday, nothing more than 35 minutes.
I don't see it as cocky. I think it's all your perspective. For example, a lot of people get 'nervous' or 'anxious' before big events, regardless of how prepared they are for the. I read earlier this year that many successful athletes view the exact same jitters as 'excitement' that propels them toward success in that upcoming event. I like the latter view and have totally incorporated it into my thought process. It works.
Good luck on getting that 18:30 (or below)!
Trash talk at the starting line = Cocky
Toeing the line knowing you're ready = Confident
Toe the line SJB, and give it all you've got. The entire Loop is cheering for you! Go get that PR!
Run fun! ~Mike
If the ability is there and your training is pointing to a strong race, then it's confidence.
Just remember: the turkey comes after the race. Not before.
Good luck!
Rock on and keep on running.....
If you've put the training in to support your goal, it is confidence. If you think you'll hit your goal simply because you have had success in the past, it is being cocky.
Obviously, you've put in the work. Let that hard work (and the confidence that goes along with it) carry you to a big race! Good luck, SJB.
You sound ready... now go get it! GO!
"Glory is Fleeting, Anonymity is Forever"
Speed+Pavement = a fling
Distance+Trails = True Love
I don't see any cocky here.
Attitude is everything
no one is cocky at the start line of a race when they are trying to give it there all.
You put in the work, you earned it, and now its time to collect and cash the check.

More than two years after President Barack Obama signed a law compensating black farmers for decades of discrimination by federal agriculture officials, the farmers are still waiting for their money.
"It should not have taken this long," said Thomas Burrell, president of the Black Farmers and Agriculturists Association. "Justice delayed is justice denied."

"Clinical practice guidelines for the management of cryptococcal disease: 2010 update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Saag MS, Graybill RJ, Larsen RA, Pappas PG, Perfect JR, Powderly WG, Sobel JD, Dismukes WE. Practice guidelines for the management of cryptococcal disease. Infectious Diseases Society of America. Clin Infect Dis 2000 Apr;30(4):710-8. [37 references]
Note from the National Guideline Clearinghouse: This guideline references a drug(s) for which important revised regulatory and/or warning information has been released.
Cryptococcal disease (Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii infection)
To update and review the choice of treatment and management for disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii infection depending on:
Patients with cryptococcal disease (Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii infection)
Literature Review and Analysis
For the 2010 update, the Expert Panel completed the review and analysis of data published since 1999. Computerized literature searches of the PubMed database were performed. The searches of the English language literature from 1999 through 2009 used the terms, "cryptococcal," "cryptococcosis," "Cryptococcus," "meningeal," "pulmonary," "pregnancy," "children," "cerebrospinal fluid," "intracranial," "cerebral," "immunosuppressed," "HIV," "transplant," and "Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome" and focused on human studies. Data published up to December 2009 were considered during final preparation of the manuscript. Relevant studies included randomized clinical trials, open-label clinical trials, retrospective case series, cohort studies, case reports, reports of in vitro studies, and animal model experiments. Abstracts from international meetings were also included. Because of the limited nature of the data in many areas, the Expert Panel made a decision to also retain high quality reviews or background papers. Expert Panel members were assigned sections of the guideline and reviewed the relevant literature.
Not stated
Quality of Evidence
In evaluating the evidence regarding the management of cryptococcal disease, the Expert Panel followed a process used in the development of other Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. This included a systematic weighting of the quality of the evidence and the grade of recommendation.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Standards and Practice Guidelines Committee (SPGC) convened experts in the management of patients with cryptococcal disease.
The Expert Panel met on 3 occasions via teleconference and once in person to complete the work of the guideline. The purpose of the teleconferences was to discuss the questions to be addressed, make writing assignments, and discuss recommendations.
Strength of Recommendation
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
All members of the Expert Panel participated in the preparation and review of the draft guideline. Feedback from external peer reviews was obtained. The guidelines were reviewed and approved by the Standards and Practice Guidelines Committee (SPGC) and the Board of Directors prior to dissemination.
Quality of evidence (I–III) and strength of recommendation (A–C) ratings are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
HIV-Infected Individuals
Primary Therapy: Induction and Consolidation
Primary Therapy: Alternative Regimens for Induction and Consolidation (listed in order of highest recommendation top to bottom)
Maintenance (Suppressive) and Prophylactic Therapy
Organ Transplant Recipients
Non–HIV-Infected, Nontransplant Hosts
Management of Complications in Patients with Cryptococcosis
Elevated CSF Pressure
Other Medications for Intracranial Pressure
Recurrence of Signs and Symptoms
Long-term Elevated Intracranial Pressure
Cerebral Cyptococcomas
Treatment Strategies for Patients with Nonmeningeal Cryptococcosis
Pulmonary (Immunosuppressed)
Pulmonary (Nonimmunosuppressed)
Nonmeningeal, Nonpulmonary Cryptococcosis
Treatment in Special Clinical Situations (Pregnant Women, Children, Persons in a Resource-Limited Environment, and Cryptococcus gattii–infected Persons)
Pregnant Women with Cryptococcosis
Children with Cryptococcosis
Cryptococcosis in a Resource-limited Health Care Environment
C. gattii Infection
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see "Major Recommendations").
Early, appropriate treatment of non-central nervous system (CNS) pulmonary and extrapulmonary cryptococcosis reduces morbidity and prevents progression to a potentially life-threatening central nervous system disease.
It is important to realize that guidelines cannot always account for individual variation among patients. They are not intended to supplant physician judgment with respect to particular patients or special clinical situations. The Infectious Diseases Society of America considers adherence to these guidelines to be voluntary, with the ultimate determination regarding their application to be made by the physician in the light of each patient's individual circumstances.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

An old high school friend has a daughter who will soon graduate from high school herself. She loves to read and does well in school, so he is planning to send her to college, he told me proudly. She will be the first in his family to attend, so this is understandably very important to him.
I didn't wish to dampen his dreams, but I had to caution him about college debt and the decreasing value of a degree. Like many parents, he still believes that college is the same ticket to prosperity that it used to be when we were his daughter's age.
But it's becoming clear that that's no longer the case. ...

These medicines are available in pill, liquid, injection, or suppository form. One medicine may be available in multiple forms. Your doctor will help you decide which type is best for you.
The actions of methylxanthines are not completely known.
Theophylline may:
Because of their side effects, methylxanthines are not considered first-choice medicines to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They are prescribed most often for people with COPD who:
A few studies have noted that, compared to a placebo, theophylline provides a small improvement in lung function as measured by tests (spirometry) in people who have stable COPD.footnote 1
In a COPD exacerbation, methylxanthines, compared to a placebo, provide a small improvement in lung function as measured by spirometry.footnote 2
In general, research shows that the small improvement in lung function does not justify the severe side effects for most people who have COPD. In most cases, newer and safer medicines have replaced methylxanthines for treatment of people who have COPD.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of methylxanthines include:
People taking the medicine may be able to reduce these side effects by avoiding caffeine.
The difference between a dose of theophylline that helps improve symptoms and a dangerous dose (one that causes serious side effects) is small. Theophylline also has significant interactions with other prescribed medicines, which can make it less effective and potentially life-threatening.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Other medicines may be a better choice than methylxanthines for treating COPD, because the dose needed to improve symptoms is so close to a dose that causes serious side effects.
Theophylline interacts with many different types of medicines, such as antibiotics, antacids, birth control pills, and those used for seizures. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a new medicine will affect how much theophylline you take.
Different brands of theophylline get into the bloodstream at different rates. So always use the same generic or brand-name medicine.
Medicines and illnesses can affect how quickly theophylline is cleared from the body. So the amount of theophylline in the blood must be measured regularly to be sure it stays at a safe level.
Smoking increases how quickly theophylline is cleared from the body. So a person with COPD who continues to smoke may need larger doses of the medicine.
People taking theophylline should avoid caffeine-containing beverages. These may make theophylline's side effects worse, especially jittery nerves and headaches.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

When the Viacom-owned Bellator announced that they were going into the PPV business in November with a show headlined by Tito Ortiz vs. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, UFC president Dana White offered a blunt assessment.
"They have no f—-ing clue what they're doing."
Not long after, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney fired back, without ever using the word UFC or the name Dana White.
"The one thing that I've always said about pay-per-view is that you can't force feed pay-per-views down people's throats month in and month out," said Rebeny. "You can't do it as a repetitive vehicle."
"Our point of difference is that we're real sports competition, and when it boils down to world title fights, when it boils down to crowning our champion at 170, or 55 or 45 or whatever weight class, guys are going to earn the right to fight for that championship and they're going to have to beat the champion... We're not sitting around waiting for some wrestler to lose two fights straight and then bark his way into a 205 world title fight. That's just not the essence of what we do."
At the UFN 26 press conference, White was dismissive.
"I saw Bjork was talking some smack, I'm like, dude, just shut up and run your business," said White. "That's what you should have done when you started and you had some legs to stand on. They're hurting."
"I'm sure you guys saw... when they did their press conference, all they talked about was me," said White on Thursday. "What are they going to talk about? That fight? 'Well, you guys have lost your last 10 fights, uh, how do you think this fight is going to go? Well, I can tell you this, one of us is going to win. Somebody's 'O' has got to go.' But it's the opposite of what you normally talk about."
"Obviously they need money, good for them. Let them do their thing."
"How's your competitive spirit feeling? My video blog does more f---ing viewers than their television show does. I'm not feeling very competitive."
The average views for the season of Fight Master televsion shows to date are:
For anyone interested in head by head comparison with the Bellator fight shows, the average views for the last half dozen events are:
The playlist for Dana White's vlogs shows that the views for the last couple of years range from a low of around 160,000 to a high of 878,390, with an average of well over 200,000. At first glance, it does not appear as if Dana's vlogs usually get more views than Fight Master. However, White often does two, three, or even four vlogs for each card, which could indeed mean that his vlog does more views than Bellator's show, on a show by show basis.
The success of Dana's vlog is a testament to the power of the internet, the power of the UFC brand, and the remarkable power of Dana White.

cool generic story bro, go hug nuts more

Since both the UFC and Bellator keep finances private, you really no clue what guys are getting paid.Publicly, Ian McCall only made 9k when he lost to Johnson. But McCall publicly stated he was paid 25k more than his contract called for.When Maldonado lost to Glover, he tweeted that his pay was more than if he had won.And to be fair, Bellator may well be paying guys bonuses. Since only a portion of cards have any disclosed pay, we have no real idea what most get.

- Virgo - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11)
In astronomy, Virgo is a constellation, or group of stars. It is one of the 12 constellations that lie in the path of Earth's orbit around the sun. These 12 are called the constellations of the zodiac. Virgo lies between Leo and Libra in the zodiac.
- Virgo - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
In astronomy, Virgo is one of the original 12 constellations of the zodiac-the band of constellations that lies along the ecliptic, the apparent yearly path of the sun across the sky. It lies along the celestial equator-the projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial vault-and is therefore visible from most parts of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. At a 10:00 PM observation of the sky in the mid-latitudes, Virgo first appears in the east in March, reaches its greatest height in the sky in May, and drops below the western horizon in late July. Virgo is the sixth constellation of the zodiac. The other zodiacal constellations are Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Capricornus, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Pisces, Sagittarius, Scorpius, and Taurus.

Financial Tracking & Analysis/Onsite
One of Steve's main roles is the management of the Weekly Department Review Report (WDR Report) which tracks the weekly sales of participating Group centers in 25 categories. This industry exclusive allows garden centers to compare their weekly sales, average sale and customer count with similar centers reporting as Sales & Regional Groups as well as with all reporting centers. Nowhere else in the garden center industry is this service available. Steve's weekly sales analysis is a wrap-up of sales, promotions and weather impact that is used by Group centers to keep their employees in touch with more than just their immediate surroundings.
An additional financial service from Steve available to Group centers compiles gross margins and inventory turns by category into an easy to follow report that identifies areas of financial concern. The Financial Ratio Analysis Report quickly and accurately shows which products/departments/categories need attention in order for them to contribute to the company's financial success. Pricing, inventory levels, display space and labor needs can then be changed if necessary, which could yield a dramatic improvement in the company's end-of-year profit results. This Group exclusive takes the guesswork out of product line and department's true value, can be performed through phone/fax/email and does not require a company to have a POS system.
Steve is a regular presenter at Group workshops on topics dealing with a variety of financial issues and is available to assist garden centers in The Group with their individual financial tracking needs.
Steve's newest product to the industry is $eason2Buy. This revolutionary new Management and Budgeting system, an online tool for purchasing and inventory management, will help you increase your profits and cash flow fast.

President Lyndon B. Johnson's "unconditional war" on poverty in America would not be short or easy, he warned, and no single weapon or strategy would suffice.
The intervening five decades have not only proved him right, they also have shown which approaches are most successful.
Were it not for Medicaid, unemployment insurance, Head Start, food stamps and the many other programs LBJ set in motion 50 years ago today, the poverty level would be almost twice as high as it is -- 16 percent of the population -- with children and the elderly making up most of the difference. In the recent downturn alone, the level would have surged by at least five percentage points.
Still, the United States has almost 50 million people living in poverty, defined as about $12,000 in earnings for an individual and about $23,500 for a family of four.
While poverty in the U.S. is no longer so dire that children are dying of malnutrition, as they were in the 1960s, raising the living standards of the poor remains an economic imperative -- not only to relieve the 50 million poor of want but also to help them become more productive workers and net contributors to society.
So the push must continue -- using strategies that have done the most to raise up the poorest households over the past five decades. One of the most effective tools has been the earned income tax credit, a $55 billion program that rewards the working poor by refunding some of their income and payroll taxes.
The credit -- which has averaged about $3,000 for families with children -- has helped reduce welfare rolls even more than the 1996 welfare-reform law did. This program, now geared toward single-parent families, could be expanded to help two-parent families and parents without child custody.
Congress could also lessen the disincentives to work or wed by not reducing anti-poverty benefits when a couple marries or one spouse's income rises above a cutoff.
Nutrition programs are another effective poverty fighter. In 2012, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (aka food stamps) kept 5 million people out of poverty. School lunches did the same for 1.2 million children.
In November, when Congress allowed $11 billion in stimulus funds that beefed up the food-stamp program to expire, it meant an average 7 percent decrease in benefits for about 45 million people.
And in the farm bill now under consideration, the House is proposing almost $40 billion more in food-stamp reductions over 10 years. That would kick 3.8 million people off the program entirely -- the opposite of what a revived war on poverty requires.
Conservative Republicans, notably Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, are responding with anti-poverty initiatives of their own.
Rubio is even suggesting wage-enhancement credits for low-income workers, a close cousin of the earned income tax credit.
Fifty years ago, LBJ was motivated in part by politics. He was hoping to attract the black vote.
If politics is driving both parties to reach for solutions, that doesn't make the goal less worthy. It may even result in a smarter war on poverty.

Pioneer presented quite a lot of products that we already discussed, like:
but also the DVD burner with HDD for the non-Geeks with the remote control that hides its functions quite well !!!! Underneath the little lid, there are 15 more buttons… I just KNEW it !
Very interesting were 2 prototypes that used a OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, a portable DVD player with its 2.4″ screen and a PMP/MP3 player dubbed X-Sovo that has a 1.08″ screen.
And finally the Pioneer booth babes…

text: Town of Saukville officials have long wondered whether they were being treated fairly in their annual fire protection contract with the Newburg Fire Department.The question has come up whenever the fire department's contract with the town came up for renewal. The current four-year contract expires in August.Rather than waiting until a new contract is presented, Town Clerk Naomi Bruecker did a little research that she presented to the Town Board last week.The town's current contract requires an annual payment of $178,522.Bruecker said the Town of Cedarburg pays $126,226 in fire dues, $52,296 less than the Town of Saukville. The Town of Fredonia pays $144,000, or $34,522 less."I'd like to know what we are getting for our dollar," she told the board.Supr. Mike Denzien said such a comparison could give the town an advantage when negotiating a new contract with the fire department."At best, it could help us get our fire dues reduced. If nothing else, it couldn't hurt to let them know we are looking at their numbers," Denzien said.Bruecker compiled a chart showing the town's fire protection costs dating back to 1970, including a cost-per-resident comparison.In 1970, the town paid $15,000 for fire protection, or $10.10 per resident.With a population that has grown a little more than 300 people over the past 45 years, Bruecker's table showed the town is expected to pay $97.44 per resident for fire services in 2015.The issue of fire protection is a topic of personal concern for Town Chairman Don Hamm, whose family has been hit by fires twice this year."Fire trucks are good things to have. Hoses that don't leak are good to have. A department that can respond quickly is a very good thing," Hamm said.He said he would meet with Newburg Fire Chief Mark Chesak before the board is asked to approve a new contract.During an annual report presented to the board earlier this year, Chesak said his firefighters responded to 32 fire calls in the town last year.Only one was for a structure fire, three were triggered by alarms, two for grass fires, four for car fires and two because of downed power lines.The majority of the calls, 19, were to respond to vehicle accidents. In four cases, extrication equipment was needed.The town also had 37 ambulance calls, with Newburg assisting on 15 of those.Chesak noted that the department added a 2014 Pierce Quantum pumper to its arsenal last year. The truck has the ability to carry and pump large volumes of water quickly. The new vehicle cost $620,000.During the annual report, Chesak said he hopes to keep the department's financial impact on the town in check."We will try to keep it as low as possible," the chief said.The proposed contract will be ready by the time the town starts working on its 2016 budget, he said.Chesak used his board appearance as an opportunity to make a pitch for more personnel."We are in a big crunch for EMTs. Even getting one more would be a help," he said.

Our Events
|Open Day - Buses
|Castle Rally
|Open Day - Cars
The Society organises four major events each year - two 'Open Days' at the Museum, which take place on Easter Sunday and the first Sunday in November each year, a vehicle rally in the grounds of Lincoln Castle in early Summer, and a car running day on August Bank Holiday Monday.
Castle Rally
This is our main event of the year for cars, motor cycles and small commercial vehicles, set in the elegant surroundings of Lincoln Castle in the heart of Lincoln's historic Cathedral Quarter. Up to 200 vehicles attend this annual and prestigious event, held in June each year. Normal admission charges to the Castle apply for non-entrant visitors.
Reports and pictures of previous events - 2015 Rally - 2014 Rally
Open Days
Our long established Open Days allow visitors access to the 'hidden' areas of our Museum, including our workshop, and a chance to see some of the vehicles - including those awaiting and under restoration - which are not normally on public display. The Museum hosts our own refreshments stand, as well as several visiting enthusiasts' sales stalls. A variety of visiting vehicles - ranging from motor cycles through cars and small commercial vehicles to large commercials and buses and coaches - visits for the day. Also, many of our cars and buses take to the road for the day and offer a chance to see, hear - and of course travel on - yesterday's transport.
The 'bus services' for this event have grown in recent years - many visiting buses and coaches, both regular and one-off visitors from around the country join with our own 'fleet' to provide free services for our visitors, the Easter event usually sees around 20-25 buses 'in service', the 'end of season' event in November has 30 or more.

Other Local Events
Our vehicles often get out and about from the Museum and can be seen at other events and vehicle rallies around Lincolnshire and beyond.
We regularly take part in the 'Discover Lincolnshire' weekend in March and Heritage Open Days in September each year
One regular outing is the RAF Waddington Air Show each year (although this will not be taking place in 2015.) A number of our vehicles are on display in one of the Hangars, and some of our buses operate a 'park and ride' service to and from the airfield car parks. Pictures from 2014- 2013.

Cheyne Dougan, assistant principal at Clarksville High School, is interviewed at the school July 11, 2013, in Clarksville, Ark.
A small Arkansas school district is arming and training 20 volunteer teachers and staff with handguns for fall classes to become the first in the state to make use of a little-known state law that allows licensed, armed security guards on campus.
David Hopkins, superintendent of schools in Clarksville, says the move is in response to last year's tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that left 20 students and six staff members dead.
