Creating the Perfect Artist's Retreat…in Your House
From Dean Dowd on November 11, 2008 in General Remodel
The art studio is a very subjective place. So, for that matter, is art itself. It is one artist's expression of life, nature, emotion, industry…the entire gamut of human feeling and observation. Just as personal taste and style are evident in each artist's work, so then should the perfect artist's retreat reflect that singular aesthetic. That being said, there are plenty of features that most artists would agree provide inspiration and guide those muses of lore that still drive creative expression to this day.
Personally, I am an artist of a different style, with my own ideas of an inspirational environment. Luckily I am spending some time in sunny Palm Springs, CA and have had the pleasure to meet and speak with several visual artists in a short period of time. So I decided to ask them what their perfect artist's retreat would look like. I just added one stipulation: It has to be in your house. Here is the crux of what they described:
Lighting was incredibly important. Daylighting, or the use of natural lighting, took the cake in that regard. I heard a lot about windows and skylights. The perfect artist's retreat would be well lit with brightly colored walls to fill the room. Natural light also helps bring out color. If nature is your muse, then let daylight be your intermediary.
I suggested an outdoor room. Although it would have to be temperature-controlled, especially in this desert and other more arid climates, to prevent damage to vital materials. Another solution would be window coverings to deflect sunlight and heat (not to mention energy-efficient windows) at the hottest times of the day and for when the studio was not in use.
Another key advantage to a naturally lit retreat is the view. Perhaps this is why I've met so many artists in Palm Springs. This sunny city sits directly at the foot of Mount San Jacinto, towering more than 10,000 feet above the valley. But say you don't sit on or at the foot of a desert mountain. That's no reason to close up shop, so to speak. Simply incorporate landscaping into your design. Choose plants that mean something to you personally. That you find beautiful, inspiring.
Track Light
Of course, knowing artists, I know that not every one feels inspiration from 9-to-5. That's why some artificial lighting is essential for those 3AM wake-up calls to action. And when I asked about ideal indoor lighting, track lighting was the nearly-universal answer. By that I mean moveable track lighting, enabling control over the light's focus.
This also gives the advantage of insight into how an art piece would look on a gallery wall – no small ability for the professional artist.
Of course practicality and convenience must plays their part as well. I have seen the myriad of paints, brushes and canvases lying around the studio. Oftentimes they are shoved into corners, piled on shelves or even stored remotely for lack of a convenient place. Therefore, the artists I spoke to cried out for built-in shelving, racks for canvases, and other storage for the many other tools of their trade.
Overall, everyone agrees that only the artist can design the perfect artist's retreat. Of course, some help is valuable, but again, the artist's retreat should be primarily an expression of the artist. These are but simple suggestions that most artists I've talked to agree on. Yet if you are not a fan of large windows and bright sunlight, then by all means build yourself a low-lit, mood-enhancing studio – whatever best inspires you.
One more thing: for the digital artists out there, you either won't want the bright lighting or you'll want to make sure those blinds are blinding enough.
And have a look at this artroom being built from scratch on "Remodeling for Geeks."

Civil society remains a popular topic in literature as the nonprofit sector continues to expand not only in industrialized nations but in developing countries as well. Defined by Lester Salamon as "the broad range of institutions that occupy the social space between the market and the state," (Global Civil Society, 2003) civil society plays an essential role in providing social services to the public. This resource list, which contains citations to selected works from the Foundation Center's bibliographic database, Catalog of Nonprofit Literature, will help you explore the international third sector and provide insight into the transnational cooperation and global philanthropy that have contributed to the development of civil society around the world.

Wednesday's letters: Voter ID bill
Published: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 2:22 p.m.
Please allow me to respond to Ron Romine's Oct. 25 guest op-ed column in the Herald-Journal about the voter ID bill. Let me place myself in the category described by Mr. Romine's own words of "minimal understanding of how thousands of South Carolinians live their daily lives."
If he will allow me, I also will use his own term of parroting, which he charged the Herald-Journal with: I can say I have never read anything that parroted Jesse Jackson more than his column. And again to borrow Mr. Romine's words, anyone with "minimal understanding" knows that Jesse Jackson practices demogoguery. He would create a crisis that would pit the white race against the black race, and when he stirred up enough resentment and hatred against the white race, he would seize the moment, manipulate the heated up situation and present himself as the savior from the artificial suppression.
In his column, Mr. Romine pretends that voting fraud doesn't exist enough to do anything to correct the matter. Moreover, he seems to want to summon the ghost of Strom Thurmond in an effort to prove his point about voter suppression.
A closing thought: Everyone knows that to get a driver's license you must have your picture taken. Obviously, this is to identify the person bearing the license, yet the cost for this is so low that very few people complain about it. On the other hand, the voter ID bill will cost the user absolutely nothing. But to hear Mr. Romine describe the matter, the question must be asked: Is he saying that requiring a voter ID is outrageous when it is free of charge?
Tut-tut, Mr. Romine. Shame on you for insulting the intelligence of South Carolinians.
Floyd Moore

TC TO FRANÇOIS BULOZ; 17 November 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18511117-TC-FB-01; CL 26: 233-234
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, / London, 17 Novr, 1851—
In compliance with your polite request, which naturally is flattering and interesting to me, I have directed Mr Chapman the Publisher to leave for you, at Mm. Barthe's and Lovell's,1 a Copy of the Life of John Sterling; which, unless there remain no Copies of the First Edition, you will get immediately; if none remain, we shall have to wait some weeks for a Copy of the Second now in the Printer's hands. It shall be much at your service for whatever commentary or consideration you see good to bestow on it.
Of the various Portraits none known to me has any considerable resemblance except a certain bad Lithograph enlarged from a Daguerrotype, which is or used to be on sale at this Address: "Mr Lynch, Engraver, 31. Polygon, Clarendon Square / Somers Town / London."2 Some friends have mentioned to me that there is a tolerable Portrait prefixed to the last American Edition of (I think) the Book called Carlyle's Miscellanies;3 but this I have myself never seen, and guess it to be a good copy of a certain Picture here which has some authentic but no first-rate merit in resemblance or otherwise. From either of these Prints it is probable you may get all that you want, or even more than you will prove to want, in this respect.
With regard to Autobiography, tempting as the occasion is, there are strict prohibitions laid upon me in regard to such things; and I hope you will not consider me churlish, but only decorous and duly modest before the French Public, if I beg to be altogether excused. It may well and honestly be pleasant to look how one's natural face is mirrored, from time to time, in the mind of a great Foreign Nation (or of some Thinker that represents it on the occasion); but to make and keep this pleasure honest, the "mirror" must be left wholly without interference, the impression must be altogether a spontaneous one.
Several English works, Gilfillan's Literary Portraits (one of the latest), The Spirit of the Age (about 10 years ago)4 &c &c contain Essays upon me; none of which, that I have seen, is good for much, or to be depended on for the few facts it gives: perhaps Gilfillan (who has seen me twice or thrice) is the bad-best, and has fewest errors:—but, on the whole, I unfortunately cannot direct you to any good source in regard to this matter, and must be content to leave it in the usual vague and mythical condition for the present.
You are very good to offer me the pages of such a Publication as yours,—read, as I can perceive, by all the intelligent classes of Europe,—to set forth my ideas. And truly if I had anything which it specially concerned me that France should hear, or that Europe generally should hear, instead of England merely which is my own particular parish, I do not see where there could be elsewhere such a pulpit. I return you many thanks; and shall duly bear your offer in mind, should an occasion turn up.
I believe I know very well what the Revue des Deux Mondes has already written about me;—and I will beg you to offer my compliments to M. MONÉGUT (if that gentleman is still near you) for one of the most intelligent, pious, sincere, and every way genial and amiable Essays I have ever read on that subject.5
Believe me, / with many thanks and respects, Yours truly

A recent study based on the Basic Economic Security Tables for Michigan has concluded that people can't live on minimum wage.
Shocked? You shouldn't be. Yet what is so often forgotten is that no one generally has to live on it. The overwhelming majority of minimum wage earners are exactly those who don't need to live off of it. They are teenagers and others on the first step of the employment ladder, or the second wage earner in a traditional household. In short, they are, generally speaking, those just getting their feet wet economically. They're getting job experience; what ought they expect when just starting out?
But that is not the real intent behind the study. One of the people it focused on was a 23 year old unmarried mother of two, trying to support herself and her kids working two jobs which paid between $9.50 and $13 bucks an hour. Another is a single mother of three who makes $7.54 an hour as a telemarketer. Single mothers... is anyone willing to stand up and point out that these are not traditional families?
How did they become single mothers? It doesn't matter, because we will be told that that's none of our business as a society. Yet when these single moms want sympathy, and a liberal organizations such as Wider Opportunities for Women and the Michigan League for Human Services, who created the report using public data, want attention to their views on how the government ought to run the economy, then their lot in life is supposed to be our concern.
To call that effrontery is to understate the point. Yet simple common sense says that if these single moms had waited to have kids until they were in a more stable and traditional home environment, or at least until they had gained the skills themselves to qualify for better jobs, then their current wages wouldn't be such an issue.
This is not to disparage all single moms. Some are in that position through no fault of their own, to be sure. But as to the ones who are in such circumstances as the direct result of free will actions of their own, it is fair to wonder exactly how much society ought to change for their benefit. Simple Christian charity indeed calls on us to help...but more for the sake of the children involved. They are the innocents. Their mothers are all too often merely insisting that they be allowed to act any way they want, then demanding society help hold the bag.
It is a point which should not be lost on the larger society when considering wealth and poverty issues.

Statement by the IMF on TurkeyPress Release No. 09/307
September 16, 2009
Ms. Rachel van Elkan, Mission Chief for Turkey at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), made the following statement today:
"We are encouraged by the Turkish authorities' announcement of a medium-term framework that aims to gradually reverse the deterioration in the country's public finances, boost private sector activity and restore solid economic growth. Reflecting the considerable impact of the global crisis on Turkey, the authorities' plan encompasses realistic macroeconomic projections and incorporates the appropriate goal of stabilizing the public debt-to-GDP ratio by 2011 and reducing it thereafter. We also welcome the planned introduction of a fiscal rule to establish prudent budgetary targets over the longer term.
"To meet the authorities' goal of controlling the public debt burden, it will be necessary to adopt supporting measures and structural reforms, including policies to address key spending pressures.
"We look forward to continuing our policy dialogue with the Turkish authorities."

The 2014 MLB live stream and TV schedule for April 4 will see many teams play their home opener including Toronto, Colorado, Boston and one of the most historic franchises in baseball, the Chicago Cubs. The Cubbies will open their 100th season at Wrigley Field this afternoon when they take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Despite losing 2 of 3 to the Pirates to start the season, Chicago played well in every game and has high hopes for 2014.
According to an ESPN report on April 4, the Cubs will try to get their second win of the season when they go up against the Phillies and manager Ryne Sandberg. Sandberg was one of the greatest players to ever wear the Cubs uniform, and he knows how special today's game will be with the 100 year celebration.
"Wrigley Field's a special place to me and my career, so going back there, and to go back in this capacity, I'm very anxious and excited about that," Sandberg said. "It's the 100th year, anniversary of the stadium there, that'll be special"
Chicago will start Travis Wood on the mound this afternoon, while the Phillies will counter with Roberto Hernandez.
Win or lose, rain or shine, the Cubs faithful always support their team. The last few seasons have been rough for Cubs fans, but a win today could go a long way in getting off to a good start in 2014.
Las Vegas odds makers have the Cubs at -130, with the over/under set at 9.

You are traveling away from home if both of the following apply: Your duties require you to be away from the general area of your tax home substantially longer than an ordinary day's work. You need to sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away from home. Travel Expenses For tax purposes, travel expenses are the ordinary and necessary expenses of traveling away from home for a business, a profession, or a job. The following chart lists common deductible expenses you might have when traveling away from home for business purposes. If you have expenses for Then, you can deduct the cost of Transportation Travel by airplane, train, bus, or other vehicle between your home and your business destination. If you are given a free ticket or are riding free as a result of a frequent traveler or similar program, your cost is zero.

Other Other similar ordinary and necessary expenses related to your business travel. These expenses might include the cost of transportation to or from a business meal, fees for public stenographer services, rent for computer equipment, and the cost of operating and maintaining a house trailer. Tax Home For job-related travel expenses, you must be traveling away from your tax home. The following guidelines clarify where your tax home is considered to be: Generally, your tax home is your regular place of business or post of duty, regardless of where you maintain your family home. The tax home includes the entire city or general area of your place of business. If you have more than one regular place of business, your tax home refers to your main place of business. If you have no main place of business because of the nature of your work or the circumstances, your tax home may be the place where you regularly live or where your main home is located. Use the following to determine whether your main home can be considered your tax home: You perform part of your business close to your main home and you use that home for lodging while doing business in the area. You duplicate the living expenses you already have at your main home that you duplicate because your business requires you to be away from that home. You have not abandoned the home in which have historically lived and considered your main home, you have members of your family living at your main home, or you often use that home for lodging. If there is no place where you regularly live, your tax home is wherever you work. In this case, you cannot claim a travel expense deduction because you are never considered to be traveling away from home. Temporary Travel To have qualified job-related travel expenses, you can either be temporarily away from home or on a temporary assignment. You are considered to be temporarily away from home if your duties require you to be away from the general area of your tax home substantially longer than an ordinary day's work and you need to sleep or rest to meet the demands of your work while away from home. You will generally be considered on a temporary assignment if you realistically expect it to last (and it does last) for one year or less. Note: If you are a federal employee participating in a federal crime investigation or prosecution, you are not subject to the one-year rule.

Sink To The Level?
Robert Inks
From: Robert Inks
To: Positive Atheism <email@example.com>
Sent: Saturday, June 05, 1999 1:17 AM
Subject: Positive_Atheism_Letters_Section
I have read your letters section and I am very happy that someone has finally stood up publicly to discuss the problems with theism. I especially liked the sane, intellegent way you dealt with the letters from "Greg" and his accusations that you are, in fact, a Christian (I use the term "accusations" here in the spirit of humor, because that is really how Greg's words sound when you read them).
The only thing I really didn't like was your saying that you were not going to sink to the level of a theist. It sounded as if you thought that theists were somehow lower than other people. I believe (I have no idea about you, for you may agree with me) that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that people aren't lower just because they have a different opinion. You, just after condemning name-calling even in defense of atheism, alluded to the assumption that just because he was a theist he was lower than you. While this is not exactly hypocritical, it does do some bad things to your credibility.
In closing I praise you for having the courage to stand up to the people who say, "Believe in God (whichever God that may be)" and saying, "What if I don't want to ?"
Keep up the wonderful page,

It does seem, from his tone, that he is trying to "reduce" us in any way he can. One method he used (and that has been used by others) is to say that we have "faith" or that (in his case) I am a Christian.
I sensed an irony in this, and (I guess) that sense of irony is not shared by all.
Nevertheless, I added a PostScript to my response to his letter, and I appreciate you pointing this out. I will think about this metaphor before I use it again, to see if I can take your observations into consideration. I detect this is what is happening when those who write to us in a condescending tone, who also accuse us of having "faith," are, I think, trying to show that we're not superior to them because we do (in thier minds) exactly what we accuse them of doing.

Meet our new GLLOs
Over the next few months, 40 new Gay & Lesbian Liaison Officers (GLLO) will be trained to take on LGBTI liaison responsibilities across NSW metropolitan and country commands. One of my key priorities for this year is to make sure our GLLOs are located in areas that need them most, and that community members are aware of these officers so they can access them if they need to.
In Surry Hills and many other city commands, there are several GLLOs trained however, on any given day, due to shift work, illness and leave, there may not be a trained GLLO on duty. This is even more likely in smaller commands, or regional areas, where there may only be one trained GLLO on staff. Our message to the community will always be to report incidents to the police on duty as soon as possible. This will ensure the best chance for a successful investigation. GLLOs however are available as follow up contact officers, someone you can make an appointment to see, if you are concerned about your case, or simply feel the need to talk to an officer trained in LGBTI issues.
Over the next few months we will be profiling our new GLLOs on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/policeglbti) so look out for new GLLOs in your area. To start, I'd like to introduce you to Andrew from Surry Hills:
[Image] GLO Andrew from Surry Hills police station
How long have you been a police officer?
Five and a half years. Before that I worked in an insurance company. I started off in the army in New Zealand as a teenager!
And what made you decide to become a GLLO?
Being a gay man I have an affinity with the LGBTI community and I want to ensure that my community is assisted in a professional, empathetic and fair manner.
You've been doing GLLO duties at Surry Hills for a while now – what do you enjoy the most?
I feel a strong sense of achievement when I can help someone, either in my DVLO role (Domestic Violence Liaison Officer) or as a GLLO. I like talking to people. I like finding out how they are and if I can make a difference – help make their lives better.
Your role is a little different because you coordinate the GLLOs in your command – tell us a bit about that.
There is such a variety of issues and people here in Surry Hills. It's great because I can match one of our talented and diverse GLLOs to the issue or activity.
Tell us why someone might feel comfortable talking to you!
I am a mature type of person who is a good listener.
And how can they best contact you?
I am usually at work Monday to Thursday, business hours.

Looking at getting a tailgate generator for this fall. I'm not really looking for it to do anything else than run a tv, stereo...maybe a hotplate if the old lady tags along. I've heard from guys on here that noise is an important issue. I'm not really looking to spend a lot if I can since I'm only really using this on fall Saturdays in Ames. I've linked below the generator I've got my eye on at Home Depot. Pretty darn cheap and it seems to have decet reviews.
I know some around here have some sweet generators but what's everyones thoughts on generators?

bn.comThe Barnes & Noble Review
The star of Todd Parr's Otto Goes to Bed is off to camp -- and having a tough time -- in this marvelous, refreshing picture book. Before Otto heads away, he worries about homesickness and winds up bringing some favorite things with him, including a blanket, bone, stick, and yummy cherry pie. After he arrives, Otto finds that getting along in the great outdoors isn't so great. The other campers don't help much either, only referring to him as "Silly Otto!" when the poor doggy tries roasting marshmallows with a short stick or gets stuck in his sleeping bag. Thankfully, though, when a hike results in a harrowing meeting with a bear, the brave and kind Otto steps up and saves the day. Parr delivers more of his unique brand of feel-good book, giving young readers a playful tale that ultimately teaches a smart lesson. The author's fun, dazzling artwork will again keep readers' hearts leaping with delight, and with Otto being such a lovable character, it's no doubt that Parr fans will be begging for more of this patch-eyed pooch.

Hope Solo was arrested at her home on Friday night for domestic violence. The Olympic athlete who has always been a focal point of the United States women's soccer team once again found herself the center of attention for an entirely different reason. According the US Weekly on Saturday, the athlete was arrested for domestic violence after a scuffle with her sister and nephew at her home.
According to Bleacher Report, Hope Solo was arrested and is being held without bail for two counts of domestic violence assault. The incident, still under review by law enforcement, has some people surprised as the star has never been the type to be in the headlines in this manner. Offering up few details except that Hope's sister and nephew allegedly had visible injuries after the altercation. Sources describe the situation as a party that got out of hand quickly.
The fans of soccer were surprised to hear of the incident as she turned down competing with her teammates. There was an international friendly game on Thursday in Hartford, Connecticut and the star didn't attend the game due to "family commitments." While there has been no word yet on when she might hit the field again, the athlete will first need to deal with getting out of jail before she can worry about heading to a field.
Hope Solo has suggested that she doesn't like physically aggressive behavior outside of the soccer fields. In her book "Solo: A Memoir of Hope" she athlete accused her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy of becoming physically aggressive towards her in rehearsals for the reality show. While the professional dancer has denied the situation completely, the soccer star used her book to discuss her treatment on the show.
Hope Solo ranks as one of the best goalkeepers women's soccer has ever seen. However, this latest alleged incident has some fans disappointed of her off the field.

Diamond mining firms in Marange will this week lay off more workers in an exercise which will result in more than 400 job losses.
A Daily News report quoted worker's unions saying Chinese companies Anjin and Jinan are among the companies that have ceased mining and will be shutting down because alluvial diamond deposits at Marange have run out.
The companies first reported that alluvial diamond deposits were running out last year, saying they had neither the expertise nor the technology to drill deeper through the hard rock. Alluvial diamond deposits are closer to the surface making them easier to extract.
Currently there are seven companies operating in Chiadwza, including Anjin Investments, Diamond Mining Company and Mbada Diamonds. Apart from the Marange Resources, these companies operate as joint ventures with government under the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation.
Unions said companies have already started issuing termination notices to workers and employees are being laid off without any benefits. Cosmos Sunguro of the Zimbabwe Diamond and Allied Workers Union accused companies and 'big people in government' of taking advantage of casual workers.
Farai Maguwu of the Center for Natural Resources Governance said the developments at Marange were 'bound to happen.' He said: 'Companies have been downsizing their labour force for a long time now. We expected this since it was reported that diamonds are running out.'
He added: 'The question is how the workers are being laid off? Are they getting what is due to them? Is the government ensuring that the workers are not getting a raw deal.'
Maguwu said his organization is finding it difficult to ascertain how the workers are being laid off because of the secretive nature of the diamond mining industry. But he said many families were bound to be affected because they were dependent on the little that they were getting through a 'small economy' that had developed in the area around diamond mining.
Since the reports that alluvial diamonds were running out companies have been slowly downsizing claiming that it was no longer commercially viable to continue mining. Retired Brigadier General Munyaradzi Machacha who is a director at Anjin recently said they were 'operating at below break-even point.'

Although many have speculated what might be causing Justin Bieber to follow in the unfortunate footsteps of repeat offender Lindsay Lohan, we have a new theory: Blame it on his diet. In fact, he might do well to emulate Miley Cyrus.
Miley views herself as a role model for Bieber, telling Rolling Stone, "I do mentor him in a way. Because I've been doing this s–t for a long time, and I already transitioned, and I don't think he's quite done it yet."
And she points out that she's steered clear of the law, in contrast to Bieber.
"I don't see a Miley mug shot yet!" Miley pointed out to Jay Leno recently. "I get the most flack of anybody," she said. "I'm not doing anything illegal."
What's the difference between the two? We're suggesting the diet theory. Miley follows a gluten-free, reduced sugar diet, tweeting "I have a gluten and lactose allergy. Gluten is cr*pppp anyway!"
And whereas Miley has become the control queen, carefully planning her outrageous stunts to stay within the law while drawing publicity, Justin seems to have no control.
Could it be the wheat and sugar in processed foods that are causing his problems?
Looking at Justin's mug shots, Fox News reports that the social media mavens have been commenting on Justin's blemishes, particularly notable since he's been a spokesperson for the acne treatment Proactiv. However, he's currently not a spokesman for the pimple product.
But some experts are speculating that it's more than neglecting to tend his skin: Acne outbreaks can result from a bad diet.
"In terms of diet, diets rich in sugary foods have been associated with acne breakouts in predisposed people," said Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetics and clinical research in the dermatology department at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a dermatologist and nutritionist with an eponymous skincare line, told the Huffington Post that eating too much sugar results in "a burst of inflammation throughout the body." Result: Acne.
And that leads to the Twinkie defense, in which Justin's not to blame for his egg-throwing, crazy-driving, police-protest actions: Blame it on the sugar and wheat.
Health Central reports that " low blood sugar can create feelings of hostility and anger," while adverse reactions to chemicals in food such as corn syrup or other additives can include "anger, agitation, impulsiveness, hyperactivity and lack of concentration."
Justin's busy schedule and teenage mentality means multiple stops at fast food outlets, where he mainlines massive quantities of milkshakes and processed meat products. Add that to gobbling sweets for energy like Twinkies, and the Bieber could be bottoming out on bad food choices.
Then there's the wheat theory.
"Wheat's effects can show up as difficulty concentrating or behavioral outbursts..., anxiety, rage, mania, and depression," writes Dr. William Davis, author of "Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health" (click for details).
"It can lead to treating the effects of a bran muffin or chocolate chip cookie with psychoactive drugs, psychotherapy, counseling, even institutionalization. Wheat can disrupt families, relationships, marriages, careers," warns Dr. Davis.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – People with HIV whose immune cells have low cholesterol levels experience much slower disease progression, even without medication, according to a study at University of Pittsburg Graduate School of Public Health.
For the study, researchers used 30 years of data and biologic specimens collected through the Pitt Men's Study, a confidential research study of the natural history of HIV/AIDS.
The researchers found that low cholesterol in certain cells, which is likely an inherited trait, affects body's ability to transmit the virus to other cells.
"Results like ours are the real pay-off of the past three decades of meticulous data and specimen collection," senior author Charles Rinaldo, PhD, chairman of Pitt Public Health's Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology, professor of pathology, was quoted as saying. "It is thanks to our dedicated volunteer participants that we are making such important advances in understanding HIV, and applying it to preventing and treating AIDS."

Dearborn arts organizations are putting on Saturday Night Alive tomorrow night to benefit the Michael A. Guido Theater.
The city's musical and artistic organizations are partnering to present this 7 p.m. Saturday lineup of entertainment and cuisine at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave. The funds raised will be used to pay for improvements updating the 12-year-old Michael A. Guido Theater.
"One thing that we'll work on first in replacing will be the sound and lighting systems, because there has been a lot of advances in technology since the theater was built in 2001, " said EmmaJean Woodyard, the executive director of the Dearborn Community Fund. "That equipment has also undergone a lot of use in that time, as a rough estimate we did recently found that including everyone on stage and in the audiences at city performances, and at our theater rentals, over 900,000 people have come through the theater—that's a lot of use!
"Enhancing our sound and visual elements of performances is part of an on-going effort to keep our theater viable, and enjoyable for both the audience and performers both," she said.
The Feb. 1 gala will start in the theater lobby at 7 p.m. with hors d'oeuvres and music performed by a quartet from the Dearborn Youth Symphony. There will also be an "Artistic Expressions" raffle featuring unique artwork by local artists.
"What makes the raffled prize unique is it's original, most of what we raffle will be one-of-a-kind pieces donated by local artists, though there will be some manufactured items by regional companies," Woodyard said. "The Padzieski Art Gallery will be open so people can see the annual juried photography exhibit."
At 8 p.m., a collage concert will start in the theater. During the one-hour concert, the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra, Vanguard Voices, Dearborn Community Chorus, Motor City Brass Band, Dearborn Public Schools Honors Choir and Players Guild of Dearborn will be performing seven-minute solo numbers.
"And then at the end they all will get together on stage for the finale," Woodyard said. "It's usually pretty inspirational to have them all on stage at once."
At 9 p.m., the afterglow in Studio A will have a dessert buffet. Guests can dance to the rhythms of Edsel Ford Jazz Band, and the party continues at 9:30 p.m. as the guests move into theater lobby, where the Dearborn Big Band will be performing.
A cash bar will be open throughout the evening in the theater lobby. The food will be provided for Saturday Night Alive by "a combination" of caterers, according to Woodyard, who expressed pleasure at how all of the partner organizations "have come together to make this event so special.
"We do have the center's preferred caterers providing food, but we've invited other caterers in our area as well," Woodyard said. "This is the first time we're doing Saturday Night Alive, and it's always a challenge the first time out."
Several community-based organizations are presenting Saturday Night Alive in partnership with the DCF. These presenting partners that call the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center "home" include the Dearborn Community Arts Council, Dearborn Symphony, Dearborn Youth Symphony, Dearborn Public Schools, Friends of the Dearborn Symphony, Henry Ford Community College, Dearborn Community Chorus and Vanguard Voices.
Representing these nonprofit arts and musical organizations and groups on the planning committee (which is collaborating with the DCF to present the Saturday night gala): John Sczomak from the Players Guild of Dearborn and Dearborn Recreation Commission, Johanna Seidel from the Dearborn Recreation Commission, Sandy Butler from the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra, Margaret Schaefer from the Friends of the Dearborn Symphony, Tony Strayley and Julia Smith from the Dearborn Youth Symphony, Ralph Valdez from the Dearborn Community Arts Council, Michele Kress from HFCC, Martin Zbosnik from the Dearborn Recreation and Parks Department's theater-cultural arts division, G. Kevin Dewey from Vanguard Voices and HFCC; Lisa Meyer from Dearborn Public Schools, and Woodyard from DCF.
The honorary chairs for Saturday Night Alive are Mayor John B. O'Reilly Jr. and First Lady Christine O'Reilly; Kari Guido, Michael A. Guido Jr. and Anthony Guido; and Donald Kosch and Mary Kosch. The special guest host is Mike Mosallam, a 1997 Dearborn High School graduate who now acts and produces.
To purchase the $25 tickets for Saturday Night Alive; visit the theater box office, call (313) 943-2354, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.dearborntheater.com. The tickets are $30 at the door, and the ticket price includes no additional service charge (the ticket price is also tax deductible). All proceeds will benefit the 1,201-seat Michael A. Guido Theater.
For more information on the theater or the gala, visit www.dearborntheater.com or call the DCF office at (313) 943-5478.

Director Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Prince of Persia") is set to replace Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Revolutionary Road") at the helm of the film adaptation of "Atonement" author Ian McEwan's 2007 novel "On Chesil Beach" for Studio Canal reports Screen Daily.
Mendes was working on the film a few years ago and filming was a month away from kicking off last year when Focus Features withdrew their funding on the film and production was put on ice.
With Mendes now committed to the next James Bond feature "Skyfall" for much of the next year, he's now staying onboard in a producing capacity while Newell takes the reins one he wraps up filming his new adaptation of Dickens' "Great Expectations".
Set in the UK in the 60's, the story revolves around two repressed virgins in their early 20's whose futile attempt at lovemaking leads to doubt and recriminations. McEwan himself adapted the script. Carey Mulligan was previously linked to the female lead role, that's likely no longer the case.
