Context Recent data regarding the consequences of untreated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the expansion of treatment choices for antiretroviral-naive and antiretroviral-experienced patients warrant an update of the International AIDS Society–USA guidelines for the use of antiretroviral therapy in adults with HIV infection.
Objectives To provide updated recommendations for management of HIV-infected adults, using antiretroviral drugs and laboratory monitoring tools available in the international, developed-world setting. This report provides guidelines for when to initiate antiretroviral therapy, selection of appropriate initial regimens, patient monitoring, when to change therapy, and what regimens to use when changing.
Data Sources and Study Selection A panel with expertise in HIV research and clinical care reviewed relevant data published or presented at selected scientific conferences since the last panel report through April 2010. Data were identified through a PubMed search, review of scientific conference abstracts, and requests to antiretroviral drug manufacturers for updated clinical trials and adverse event data.
Data Extraction and Synthesis New evidence was reviewed by the panel. Recommendations were drafted by section writing committees and reviewed and edited by the entire panel. The quality and strength of the evidence were rated and recommendations were made by full panel consensus.
Conclusions Patient readiness for treatment should be confirmed before initiation of antiretroviral treatment. Therapy is recommended for asymptomatic patients with a CD4 cell count ≤500/μL, for all symptomatic patients, and those with specific conditions and comorbidities. Therapy should be considered for asymptomatic patients with CD4 cell count >500/μL. Components of the initial and subsequent regimens must be individualized, particularly in the context of concurrent conditions. Patients receiving antiretroviral treatment should be monitored regularly; treatment failure should be detected and managed early, with the goal of therapy, even in heavily pretreated patients, being HIV-1 RNA suppression below commercially available assay quantification limits.

The British actor, 36, appeared Friday on Live with Kelly and Michael and, never discussing the breakup of his marriage, very passionately described what it's like to kiss his Juliet, Condola Rashad, eight times a week in the Shakespearean tale of star-crossed lovers.
"We sometimes get applause after our first kiss because it just goes on. Sometimes I'm like, I'm not letting go," Bloom told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, as noted by the New York Post.
And, the compliments, it appears, have been going both ways.
Earlier this month, Rashad, 26, told Newsday about establishing stage chemistry with her handsome Broadway costar: "What's funny is that we didn't have to force it. We had a connection from the minute we met ... a sense of comfort with each other. Which was cool. We both loved the work. And he's such a great guy."
Rashad further gushed about Bloom to Broadway.com last month, saying, "He's a heartthrob, that one!"
She also reiterated that their chemistry was immediate, "so we didn't have to work too hard at it. We hang out sometimes afterward, but we've built the relationship we have just by being around each other. ... We have a lot of fun and trust between the two of us."

Are we taxpayers or are we schmucks?
December 28, 2012
Thank you, Sean O'Leary for your "Definition of a Schmuck" column, which awakened me to one more way the West Virginia taxpayer is being ripped off. $1....
"The Macy's deal included a property tax exemption for 15 years and one other tax exemption for 5 years."
So fly, please enlighten us and tell us how much property taxes the Federal government pays for all these federal lands they are using in Jefferson and Berkeley counties, such as the IRS, VA, Coast Guard, ICE, etc that Senator Byrd brought to WV. If it helps I'll clue you in..it's 0% FOREVER. Great deal for WV huh?

Keep your friends close but your eNMEy closer.
GOG Paintball unveiled the all-new eNMEy paintball marker at the 2012 PSP Paintball World Cup. Featuring an integrated regulator and pneumatic spool valve combined with an entry-level price tag, the eNMEy is poised to deliver better performance to new players and improved reliability with reduced maintenance to field owners.
In 1995 paintball technology was redefined by the release of the Shocker electro-pneumatic paintgun. In 2005, the Ion re-defined the paintball marketplace by bringing the tournament level performance of an electro-pneumatic paintgun into the price range of the average paintball player. Now, the creative minds behind the Shocker and Ion are changing the face of paintball again with the eNMEy.
The benefits of a spool valve design have been well known to tournament paintball players for years. Now GOG PaintballTM is excited to build this technology into a paintball marker within the reach of a first-time player.
"From the beginning, we've focused on giving the player more value for their investment in the game," says GOG's Adam Gardner. "You really have to shoot the eNMEyTM to see why we're so excited. The pneumatic trigger we've designed has a pull that is short, crisp and fast, so the marker shoots smooth as silk. This is a whole new level of performance for this price range. People just don't expect a marker that isn't electronic to shoot this well."
Please wait, your items are being added to the cart...

The Rewards of Teaching Special Education
I teach high school in an inclusion-based program, high school kids with special needs. Some are verified special education students, some are not. Some of the kids have high-functioning autism. Some kids have ADD. Some kids have behavior disorders, that sort of thing. They're kids who are at risk of not being successful in the regular classroom setting. Because it's an inclusion-based program, I work with the kids on their behavior so that they're successful in their regular classrooms.
We have heartwarming moments every day in my program. I think that's why I'm drawn to working with these kids, because you can see them accomplish things in a very short amount of time if you give them right kinds of supports that they need. I work with kids who have a hard time making friends. We implement the "Circle of Friends" peer mentor program, then you send them out into this welcoming environment. Then you watch a student with autistic behavior sitting on the bench in the hallway just like any other student, having a conversation. That's huge. Those things didn't used to happen before.
Or I'll take a student who maybe came from an abusive background and they're pretty oppositional and defiant. They're new to the school and they want to make their mark doing negative things instead of interacting positively, because they don't know how; or they're used to failing, they're in a cycle of failure.
[For example,], one of my students said, "I don't do schoolwork. I don't carry materials. I don't dress out for PE. I don't eat lunch and I don't eat breakfast either, so I'll be pretty hungry and cranky by one o'clock in the afternoon." You take a student like that and you put the supports in place that they need …
That particular student went from, in his previous school, failing everything, being in a self-contained time-out suspension lots of the time, to being in our Diff Biology class, which is our advanced class, and getting a B all on his own.
[Now] all of his grades are Cs and above. He goes to PE. He does everything the other kids do and he's really proud of himself. He has a goal. He'll be the first person to graduate from high school in his family. He's looking at post-secondary education, community college.
This is huge. It's a kid [about whom] other people said, "He'll never make it. He's just never going to make it." One of the big rewards of my job is to see kids like that do so well.

The little resort of Veysonnaz, located at about 1200 m, is 13 kilometres by road from Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais. Far below is the broad Rhone valley, and opposite, the northern chain of the Valais Alps, with the wide glaciers of the Plaine Morte. To the west, you can see as far as the bend in the valley where Martigny is situated.
Veysonnaz combines a modern tourist infrastructure with its original village features and the authentic way of life of the upland and alpine economy. Taking the cows up the mountain in June and the (bloodless) cow fights between the naturally combative Eringer (Hérens) cows of the Valais are traditions that are still alive and well here.
There are about 300 km of footpath in the area around Veysonnaz, and there are also opportunities for more challenging tours in the high mountains. The walks take you through unspoilt nature: in Veysonnaz, the flora and fauna and grazed pastureland are all protected. The "Bisse de Vex", a traditional open irrigation channel ("Suone") typical of the Valais and dating from the 15th century, has been extensively restored for 12 kilometres of its length and now the water is flowing again. These "Suonen" give some idea of the concerns local people had about water, and nowadays provide pleasant walks with no great differences in altitude, but mostly with fantastic views.
For families with children aged between 4 and 8, in the peak summer season there is a children's entertainment programme provided every day in the "Bears' Club". Older children can meet up in the "Sun + Fun Club".
Assim que cai a primeira neve, Veysonnaz se torna um paraíso dos esportes de inverno. As disputas da Copa do Mundo acontecem na "Pise de l'Ours", acima de Veysonnaz. A imensa área de esqui dos "Quatro Vales" estende-se desde Veysonnaz e da área adjacente de Les Collons / Thyon 2000, passando por Nendaz e Mont Fort (3.330 m), até Verbier e La Tzoumaz, fornecendo acesso a não menos que 410km de pistas e 95 teleféricos para esquiadores de todas as habilidades. Naturalmente, há escolas de esportes de inverno para crianças e adultos, assim como várias alternativas de atividades de inverno para os que não esquiam.
- Suonen – these are ancient irrigation channels which run along the contours of the land, generally with no great differences in altitude, making for very pleasant walks.
- Sitten (Sion) – visit the capital of the Valais during your holiday, for a cultural excursion, a shopping trip or a gourmet meal out.
- The pyramids of Euseigne – the village of Euseigne, where the valley divides into the Val d'Hérens and the Val d'Hérémence, has unusual rock formations, created by natural erosion and visible from far away.
- Grande Dixence dam in the Val d'Hérémence – at 285 metres high, the highest dam in the world. Daily guided tours inside the dam wall.
- DiscGolf – an entertaining form of golf in which players have to sink frisbees into metal baskets in as few throws as possible.
Principais Eventos
- Cow processions and cow fights – the combative Eringer cows of the Valais fight for the title of "Queen" (end of June / beginning of July).
- Grand Raid Cristalp – considered to be the longest and toughest mountain bike race in the world, covering a distance of over 131 km and 4600 metres of difference in altitude, from Verbier via Veysonnaz, Hérémence and Evolène to Grimentz (August).

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween and remembered that the fun of trick or treating can be had without consuming crazy amounts of sugar.
Just look at how much fun Ellen [DeGeneres] and I had on Halloween! LOL!
As exciting as the costumes and spirit of Halloween can be, Halloween night is scarier than I ever thought: Can you believe that the average kid gets 7,000 calories of candy in just one night? It's a staggering number and the stats are a strong motivator for this season's first Biggest Loser Temptation.
Once I told the contestants that they were playing for team immunity, the prize definitely captured their attention. Once the contestants began to eat their candy, with such an important prize at stake, the calorie consumption definitely climbed quickly.
By the time the Blue Team won immunity (assuming nobody gained weight on the scale), I started worrying for the Red and White Team members about how Dolvett and Jillian would react to their choice to eat so much candy. As Craig said, "There's nothing scarier than a mad Jillian Michaels."
The trainers clearly gave their teams a grueling workout, but the letters from home were the reminder to the contestants of what they were fighting for each and every day on the ranch. The Blue Team members each lost weight, which meant it was Red vs. White for who was going home this week, since both Dolvett and Jillian had previously used their trainer saves.
The White Team all had great numbers, particularly with Jay now having lost 53 lbs. since getting on campus. David having lost 62 lbs. since the show started is another great accomplishment celebrated this week on the scale.
In the end, we had to say goodbye to Ruben, one of my favorite contestants of all time.
My favorite moment of the week: Seeing the incredible transformation that Biingo's family has made and seeing that sweet boy happy and active.

Ryan Mitchell on Being a Good Neighbor
Ryan Mitchell of The Tiny Life website has been keeping us posted about his exciting plans for a modified Fencl. In addition for guest writing for Tumbleweed, Ryan has been blogging about simple living, tiny houses, and environmentally responsible lifestyles on his website: we think he's awesome!
While I have been building my Tiny House, I have been living in a traditional house until my house is finished. The unfortunate thing about modern neighborhoods is that people don't really know their neighbors, while my neighborhood wasn't any different; an interesting thing happened when I pulled up with my trailer and started building. At first it started with people craning their necks to see what was going on. I didn't quite know what to think of it, so I just waived and gave a smile.
For a few weeks I toiled on the floor framing and insulation, and then the magic happened. Within one hour of the first wall going up I had three neighbors walk straight up to me and started asking questions.
At first I was a little nervous on how they would react. Would they think I was crazy? Would they call code enforcement? Well as it turns out they thought it was really interesting. All of them. I had made sure to keep a few photos of what the house would look like handy to show people who wanted to know more and they were instantly on board.
What is more, a few days later I stopped to talk to my newly acquainted neighbor and he asked if I'd be interested in moving the house to his lot when I was done building.This was a very welcomed surprise and signaled a very positive acceptance of my little house.
So when you build your tiny house, realize you aren't just a builder, you are also a PR person; building connections and being a good neighbor is an important part of building your home!

Aga Kruk shows you wire-wrapping methods to make seven different projects, including earrings, necklaces and pendants. You'll learn basic cold metalwork techniques such as looping and wrapping, twisting and hammering wire, multi-strand beading, and crafting intricate frames and bead clusters.

Her class will give you a whole new set of skills to let you make beautiful professional-looking jewelry to wear and give.
Meet your instructor, Aga Kruk, and learn more about the tools, wires, stones, beads and crystals you'll be working with in your class.

Dangling hoops decorated with clusters of beads are a stunning fashion accessory. Aga shows you how to make your own.
An ordinary power drill becomes a jewelry-making tool to make delicately twisted wire creations, with or without added beads.
Have more fun with twisting wires and adding beads to create beautiful bling!
Expand your jewelry artistry to make pretty multi-strand necklaces. Aga goes over the stringing materials, designing your necklace, adding the beads and choosing a clasp.
As a bonus, Aga shares how to create elaborate, beautiful forms using just wire and a bead or two. These forms can become earrings, pendants, bracelets and more!
"Being a novice to jewelry-making and feeling a little artistically challenged, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I, too, can make beautiful jewelry. Aga is an excellent instructor and the fact that you can post questions and get real-time answers is definitely a bonus. The ability to review portions of the class is extremely useful. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in jewelry-making!"

Higher state taxes out of the question
January 11, 2013
President Barack Obama and liberals in Congress have made it clear they care more about jobs in government than those in the private sector....
What just proved he doesn't collect a PAYCHECK.
Just for your info WHAT...your food stamp card isn't a paycheck.

IF you WORK; today you were taxed higher out of your paycheck. Thank a liberal; particularly OBAMA!
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Paycheck is a LOT less today thanks to Obama. I remember 'clearly' how he PROMISED (read his lips) No new taxes on anyone making under 250,000 a year. Guess he figured another lie after all the first 4 years of lies wouldn't make any difference.
What's happened to our country? Legal elected THIEVES is what happened.
Progressivism; Moochers electing Looters to steal from Producers.

It was no surprise that current PDMP President Glenn Gorrell was re-elected to his second term on the Board of Directors. Gorrell is completing his first term on the Board and his second as President of PDMP. He has received much support during his tenure as an effective and forward thinking leader of this, the only organization driven by dairy producers for dairy producers. A review of accomplishments and advancements over the past year, presented by Executive Director Alan Novak, at the annual meeting, was lengthy and Novak credited everything from efficiencies and cost savings to extraordinary programs and collaborations, to Gorrell and the current board. "This leadership is indicative of the entire membership…dairymen and women who are not only willing to think outside the box and take risks necessary to improve their bottom line, they are eager and intent in sharing their experiences and knowledge with other producers throughout the Commonwealth." Novak said.
Risser replaces Dale Hoffman of Kar-Dale Acres in Shinglehouse, Pa., who, elected twice, will meet his term limit on the Board of Directors at the end of 2011. Most recently, Hoffman has served as the group's treasurer.
Outgoing board member: The Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania executive board will bid good-bye to two term board member, Dale Hoffman whose terms expired at the conclusion of 2011.
"Dale has been a tremendous asset to the PDMP's executive board," said Gorrell at the Annual Meeting. "He has brought a wealth of knowledge in dairy production and business. And Dale has been a steady and reliable filter through which we measure all issues and programs as to how they will impact the dairy producer. " said Gorrell, adding: "It has been a pleasure to work with Dale so closely and I know he will be a continued resource to our Board and membership."
Some of the year's highlights upon which Novak reported included:
• PDMP farms hosted three student interns during the summer.
• More than 350 members, guests, and local and state legislators attended three on-farm member meetings.
• Governor Corbett's recent appointment of members of his newly created Dairy Advisory Council are
almost entirely active PDMP members.
• The PDMP Corn Silage Research Trials featured 138 hybrids from 15 seed companies.
• PDMP continued to increase its collaborative efforts with other dairy support organizations, going so far as to increase its membership on the Board to include representatives of the Center for Dairy Excellence and the PA Dairymen's Association to further open and expand their partnerships.
The annual meeting also featured a presentation by keynote speaker Dr. Gordie Jones, a preeminent Wisconsin veterinarian and Managing Partner of Central Sands Dairy who consults throughout the United States, and Europe. Jones' topic was "Back to Basics" in cow care and comfort.
Jones shared a lifetime of insights in how caring for the cow should be the core of a dairy producers business plan. "The cow is everything," Jones said. "Without her, the dairy doesn't exist and so everything we do is about making her comfortable. And the fun part is that if she is comfortable, she produces more".
Jones was joined on a panel discussion with attendees, by local producers Tony Brubaker and Joel Krall. The stage was set with the financial verification that cow care "pays" by AgChoice Farm Credit consultant Mike Hosterman.
In other business, several upcoming programs were announced, including the 2012 Dairy Tour which will be in California March 19-22, and the PA Dairy Summit February 8&9, hosted by PDMP and the CDE.
Sponsors of the Annual Meeting and Issues Forum included: Red Barn Consulting, Agricultural Veterinary Associates, MidAtlantic Farm Credit, American Farm Products, BouMatic, Fulton Bank, Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association, Select Sires, White Oak Mills, Novus International, Farmer Boy Ag, and Mark Hershey Farms.

Yes, let's talk's comment is SOOOOO rude and absurd. If Tessa is "heavy", then 95% of the world's population must be ginormous cows.
V/M did seem a bit slow and labored for some reason. Seemed they were skating behind the music as well. This program is well constructed but it seems a bit too hard for them to do it seamlessly. The lift at the end of the program was very shaky. It was like Tessa was about to tip over. She is not a petite woman like the Italian girl or Davis, so sometimes the lifts come off looking awkward and goofy if they don't do them just right.
The problem is not that Tessa is big, it's that Tessa and Scott are very close to being the same height. So lifts that White and Lanotte do easily with much smaller partners don't work as well when partners are equal in size.
Re Virtue/Moir SD, per Absolute Skating:
Ever wondered what Virtue/Moir's (SD) Waltz and Polka to The Waltz Goes On by Anthony Hopkins was about? Tessa explained at yesterdays press conference: I think pretty clearly in the beginning of the piece there are certainly minor tones in the music that we wanted to take upon for my character. We have played a lot of different storylines, but there is certainly something very upsetting and emotionally disturbed about my character and Scott has been trying to cheer me up, and as the program progresses, through the polka, it starts to heal through the love of dance and it kind of becomes a love story
So Virtue is portraying volatile characters in both SD and FD this season -- playing against type.
Dance has become a very physical and exacting sport. A decent size differential is a plus if you can get it, hence Elena's noticeable weight loss this season..
I think in the judges minds comparisons are being made to 2010 Tessa and today's Tessa. But how do you do that when your genes will not allow you to have that body type. The girl is in no way heavy, just not petite. So is it that the rules of COP need to be adjusted to be more balanced? If not IMHO it might be easier to just enjoy each pair for what they have to offer. What would be great to see at one competition, in this season, is each couple skating their absolute best though.
Looking forward to the remainder of the season.
I can envision V/M with an Olympic program skated to 'Xena: Warrior Princess'......
Ok maybe not Zena but a program where Tessa plays the dominant role
Every piece of music doesn't HAVE to be a love story!
Annisina/Peizarat did the reverse lifts. As did Faiella/Scali. The current team of Hurtado/Diaz actually uses a reverse lift as their opening lift.
I hope to see more improvement from V/M - let them bring the house down in London. As much as I want them to win the GPF, that title is more important (he repeats to himself over and over again to let it sink in).
Actually, the big story should be C/L jumping ahead of the two Russian teams and winning the night on levels (they also won the SD on levels as well). Given team Canton's struggle, I think we can comment that Shpilband definitely was a key point in them getting those marks.

As the Stetson football team prepares to return to the gridiron this fall for the teams' second season, the Hatters have joined forces with the Stetson cheerleaders to create an event to raise money for charity.
The Hatters and Stetson cheerleaders will hold a midnight run on the evening of August 23 and they are inviting everyone in the community to join them. The run, which started last August as a team-building exercise, will begin at the Athletic Training Complex.
"We did this midnight run thing back in May, and it was just the football team as a team-building activity," sophomore quarterback and team captain Ryan Tentler said. "It went so well that I thought it would be a great idea to get everyone in the community, the fans and the student body, involved."
Tentler said the suggestion to make it a fund-raising event came from the cheer squad captain, Maranda Altilio.
"Maranda called and said they were looking to do a fundraiser so we came up with the idea of them joining with us and turning it into a fundraiser," Tentler said.
The run will start at the ATC on campus, and will go down Amelia Avenue to Spec Martin Memorial Stadium. At the stadium the run will pause for a quick team meeting before returning, via Woodland Boulevard, to the Stetson campus and the ATC.
Altilio said the cheer squad was looking for a way to give back to the community, and partnering with the football team seemed the perfect way to do that. The event will raise money to support the Wounded Warrior Project.
"I'm excited about it because it's a good way to shine a light on a group that needs and deserves our attention," Altilio said. "It also gives us a chance to bring the community together with the football and cheer teams."
The group has set up an event information page online that provides contact info as well as how to get involved in the run.

A fire early Tuesday gutted the 110-year-old Altoona Hotel - a restaurant whose small size belied its stature as a community institution.
Firefighters got the call at 2:10 a.m. and remained on scene until mid-morning through temperatures that bottomed out at 8 degrees - with a wind-chill factor of minus 10, according to Deputy Fire Chief Mike Tofano and the National Weather Service in State College.
Officials don't know the cause but are investigating, Tofano said.
Article Photos
Mirror photos by J.D. Cavrich
Terry Reed returned at 10 a.m. to take photos of the Altoona Hotel, which was destroyed by fire. His son, Bjorn Reed, owned the 110-year-old building.
Owners Bjorn and Lisa Reed plan to rebuild the Altoona Hotel but haven't decided whether to do so on the current site.
Owners Bjorn and Lisa Reed plan to rebuild but haven't decided whether to do so on the current site in the Knickerbocker neighborhood, according to restaurant manager Meghan Hall.
"We're still in the early stages of fact-finding," Hall said. "We need to look at the pros and cons."
Bjorn Reed and Hall drove by the site repeatedly Tuesday and were "shell-shocked," according to Hall.
Fact Box
Ownership history
The Altoona Hotel began as lodgings for the supervisors of the nearby South Altoona Foundry, off Burgoon Road, according to Daniel Mainello, who later owned it.
Henry Schweitzer built it and ran it until 1948, according to Mainello and the Altoona Mirror archives.
It was a 30-room hotel with a restaurant and a bar, with the bar operated under a lease agreement by Bert Curry, except during prohibition, he said.
Angelo Aluise and his brother-in-law, Ernest DeAntonis, bought it from Sweitzer and ran it until the 1967 fire, Mainello said.
Mainello acquired it and cut the building to 1-1/2 stories.
Paul Misko, who owned the Eureka in downtown Altoona, bought it in 1992.
Jed Coltrin bought it in 1996, according to Mainello and Misko.
Howard Allen bought it in 2000, according to Mainello and Internet records.
Bjorn and Lisa Reed bought it in 2007, according to Mirror records.
"We sit there and stare," she said.
But they're thankful no one was hurt.
"At the end of the day, it's just a place and material possessions," Hall said.
Fortunately, the business enjoys a "solid base of customers" that should provide a foundation for rebuilding, she said.
Reed, who owned the restaurant since 2007, declined to be interviewed, but he released a statement saying he's "deeply saddened to see such a wonderful landmark disappear."
The statement asked "to keep our staff in your thoughts during this very difficult time."
Safety concerns outlined by officials Tuesday will make it impossible to preserve the old building's brick shell, even if they rebuild in place, Hall said.
In the aftermath of the fire, the roof of the 1 1/2 story brick structure was gone, collapsed into the interior.
Windows were out, and wisps of steam or smoke rose from debris inside.
Ice encased a half-dome canopy at the front entrance and ornamental grass in a planter and flower boxes along the front wall.
Ice also coated the streets and the hotel's parking lots.
Among the fire's early witnesses was Daniel Mainello, who lives across the street.
Mainello got a call from a neighbor at 2:16 a.m., smelled smoke and at first thought his house was on fire.
Later, as he watched the restaurant burn from his living room, he recalled the February 1967 middle-of-the-night fire that gutted the original three-story structure.
He was working for the railroad at that time and living in Harrisburg, so he didn't see the blaze, but it had a profound influence on his future.
The following August, the co-owner of the burned hotel, an acquaintance named Angelo Aluise, asked him to buy the property.
The offer came at an opportune time, because the railroad was transitioning to Conrail and eager to jettison employees.
So he took a severance buyout and with the help of Aluise, worked with a contractor to reduce the hotel building to 1 1/2 stories, reopening it as a restaurant and bar, with no lodging, while retaining the name.
He ran it for 25 years, living in the attic for 18.
Tough conditions
The cold made it hard for firefighters Tuesday, according to Tofano.
It froze the first hydrant they tried, probably because of a leaking valve below ground that allowed water to rise into the hydrant itself - forcing firefighters to resort to using a pair of other hydrants nearby.
It froze the spray from the hoses onto the trucks, making it hard to open some compartments to get their tools.
And it froze the spray and runoff on the pavement, making it hazardous to walk and leading to slips and falls, Tofano said.
Firefighters' gear gave them some protection from the frigid temperatures, but those who got wet from the spray or sweat got "pretty cold" anyway, Tofano said.
Firefighters can't wear clothing that "wicks" moisture away from their bodies, like runners do, because when the temperatures rise at fire scenes, the material can "shrink wrap" firefighters' bodies, he said.
City highway yard workers helped provide traction on the pavement by putting down salt, Tofano said.
The Salvation Army provided some comfort with warm beverages from its canteen truck.
And the Fire Department hazmat bus gave firefighters a warm place to rest.
All hands on deck
The department turned out a total of 25 firefighters - the on-duty complement of 13, an off-duty chief and a single contingent - the "second alarm" - of call-ins from home, according to Tofano.
Firefighters worked inside the structure for 90 minutes, until the roof burned through and threatened to give way, Tofano said.
At that time, he ordered everyone to evacuate.
The order goes out verbally and through a distinctive "warble" tone from the 911 center to the radios of individual firefighters.
A yellow fire hose protruding from the rubble inside, its end visible in a doorway, was evidence of their hasty departure.
"Whenever the evacuation tone is sounded, our firefighters are trained that that's what to do," Tofano said. "No piece of hose is worth one of our firefighter's lives."
The hose is non-retrievable, he said.
After firefighters evacuated, they continued to attack from outside, Tofano said.
The building is "pretty much a total loss," Tofano said.
He estimated the value to be at least $100,000.
The Reeds have insurance, Tofano said.
Altoona flavor
About 11 a.m. Tuesday, Ryan Matthew came by to survey the wreckage.
He's an acoustical guitarist and singer, and for three years, he and another singer - the aptly named Travis Singer - performed on Friday nights at the restaurant.
"We used to pack the place," Matthew said.
The staff was nice, the audience enjoyed the kind of camaraderie that came from knowing one another, and the room was the perfect size for acoustical music, he said.
It was the place local architect Judy Coutts chose for a celebratory meal for a large team that had just finished a big project, she said.
It was the place where Coutts took her "hard-to-please" relatives from New York City.
It was even a place where Coutts took her son trick-or-treating.
They'd hand out pizza - a longtime signature menu item - at the kitchen door.
"God bless them," Coutts said. "That was so sweet."
And it was a place to which people in her neighborhood could walk, which made it seem like "part of the family," Coutts said. "That's why it was so beloved."
The hotel's renown extended beyond the Knickerbocker neighborhood, Coutts agreed.
"But it starts with the neighborhood connection," she said.
It was distinctively local, unlike chain restaurants, which are set up for auto access and are the same everywhere, Coutts said.
"Altoona Hotel WAS Altoona," she said.

— by Ryan Mahan
For the third consecutive season, Chatham Glenwood High School finds itself in a sectional.
And for the second straight year, the Titans find themselves in a semifinal against Central State Eight Conference foe Lincoln.
Junior Cole Harper, Glenwood's second-leading scorer behind Peyton Allen, is hoping that's not the only part of history that repeats itself.
"Last year, we had almost the same exact season as we had this season," Harper said. "We didn't have any injuries (or sicknesses) this season, but we were up and down. It was a roller-coaster season.
"We didn't do what we wanted to do in the CS8 Conference, so we focused on the postseason."
Glenwood knocked off Lincoln in last year's Class 3A Mount Zion Sectional semifinal 44-42 in overtime. And this year's Titans (20-11) would love nothing more than to take home another sectional plaque.
"We're always focused on peaking at the right times, and I think we're doing that again this year," Harper said.
As a sophomore, Harper would likely be found near the perimeter. And at 6 feet 5, he made for some matchup problems going against other point guards.
With the loss of interior players Craig Fuchs and Daniel Helm to graduation, Harper's been scoring much of his 12.6 points per game from in the paint, slicing and dicing his way past many defenders.
"Coming into this year, our roles are kind of different," Harper said. "I'm kind of filling in at the high-post area and I'm grabbing as many boards as I can. Whatever the team needs, I'll do."
His 7.6 rebounding average leads the Titans.
Glenwood coach Todd Blakeman said Harper has quickly adapted to the type of player the Titans need, even if that role changes a bit from one game to the next.
"He understands what's expected of him," Blakeman said. "He fits his role nicely this year. He's a little more demanding of the ball now in the post.
"Cole's a good basketball player. He's a no-nonsense kid that's just going to do what you tell him. He's a hard-nosed player."
Making history
Just 12 months ago, when the Titans and Railers squared off in the sectional. Lincoln came in with a 28-4 record while Glenwood was 22-10.
"That was one of the best 'family' teams I've been a part of (with) two of the best leaders I've ever had — Craig Fuchs and Miles McAdams," Harper said.
The Titans had dealt with bouts of mononucleosis to both Harper and Allen, sidelining both for weeks.
Glenwood had lost both regular-season games to the Railers — just like this season — but got the upset victory on Allen's catch-and-shoot basket at the end of overtime, sending the Titans to the sectional final.
Page 2 of 2 - There, Glenwood beat Champaign Centennial 63-41 before losing 56-48 to eventual Class 3A state runner-up Cahokia in the Springfield Supersectional.
And though Lincoln is shooting 38.4 percent from 3-point range, Harper hopes the Titans' height — rotation players Harper, Allen, Sam Harper and Josh Matchuny are all 6-5 — can once again score a Glenwood upset.
Stopping Lincoln's long-range game is the key, he said.
"They've got so many shooters who get them back into a game in a hurry, or get you out of the game in a hurry," he said.
While Harper keeps changing, he hopes the winning stays the same.

There's no slowing down for Ariel Winter.
When she's not playing Alex Dunphy on Modern Family, the actress, 14, buries herself in her books.
"It's not that difficult to balance [work and school]," she told PEOPLE at Sunday's Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times Halloween carnival on the Universal Studios backlot in L.A. "I'm big into school. I really try to make it work."
In fact, she's already thinking about her future higher education.
"I want to go to college," Winter says. "I want to go to film school at NYU. I used to want to go to medical school. I wanted to be a forensic scientist. There were so many things I wanted to do. Finally, I decided on film school."
As for her ultimate career plans, the starlet says, "I want to be a director. I want to act, but I don't know if I could direct the films that I act in. It sounds really weird and difficult – but I'd want to do it."

Even to the time of noah may mga tao ng matitigas ang ulo at puso na iniignore ang katotohanang ito at ang Salita ng Diyos.
agad silang dumidipende sa sarili nilang haka haka at paniniwala.
pero ang totoo even to the time of israel and early Christians na prove na ito
everythings happen because there is root cause and God is not unfair dahil binigay Niya lahat ng pagkakataon para magsisi ang tao sa lahat ng paraan.
bakit ako bumalik? pinabalik ako ng Diyos dahil may kalooban pa Siya sa akin dito and nothing will change my mind kahit personal attacks or even to death

Question: "Why does God allow natural disasters, i.e. earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis?"
Answer: Why does God allow earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, mudslides, and other natural disasters? Tragedies such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2008 cyclone in Myanmar, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the 2011 earthquake/tsunami near Japan cause many people to question Gods goodness. It is distressing that natural disasters are often termed acts of God while no credit is given to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the whole universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural disasters are a result of these laws at work. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornados are the results of divergent weather patterns colliding. Earthquakes are the result of the earths plate structure shifting. A tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake.
The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ holds all of nature together (Colossians 1:16-17). Could God prevent natural disasters? Absolutely! Does God sometimes influence the weather? Yes, as we see in Deuteronomy 11:17 and James 5:17. Numbers 16:30-34 shows us that God sometimes causes natural disasters as a judgment against sin. The book of Revelation describes many events which could definitely be described as natural disasters (Revelation chapters 6, 8, and 16). Is every natural disaster a punishment from God? Absolutely not.
In much the same way that God allows evil people to commit evil acts, God allows the earth to reflect the consequences sin has had on creation. Romans 8:19-21 tells us, The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. The fall of humanity into sin had effects on everything, including the world we inhabit. Everything in creation is subject to frustration and decay. Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters just as it is the cause of death, disease, and suffering.
We can understand why natural disasters occur. What we do not understand is why God allows them to occur. Why did God allow the tsunami to kill over 225,000 people in Asia? Why did God allow Hurricane Katrina to destroy the homes of thousands of people? For one thing, such events shake our confidence in this life and force us to think about eternity. Churches are usually filled after disasters as people realize how tenuous their lives really are and how life can be taken away in an instant. What we do know is this: God is good! Many amazing miracles occurred during the course of natural disasters that prevented even greater loss of life. Natural disasters cause millions of people to reevaluate their priorities in life. Hundreds of millions of dollars in aid is sent to help the people who are suffering. Christian ministries have the opportunity to help, minister, counsel, pray, and lead people to saving faith in Christ! God can, and does, bring great good out of terrible tragedies (Romans 8:28).

When people talk of others (and what happens to others) to exemplify their beliefs.... its called hypocrisy....why? because you compare yourselves to others to make others see you are better than them. That my friend is not what the Gospel was made for. I may not know much about it, but i have read and listened much to know where i stand with this.
Tell us what YOUR RELIGIOUS belief has done good to you...that is when i will listen
d us a favor will ya.... post your preaching on the BOXING SCENE LOUNGE.... lets see how you sum up with the best "thinkers" here in BS.... then you can go back here and preach.... then we'll believe you are what you teach....

yes, earthquakes and disasters are acts of God, but remember God is generous, he sends rain on the just and the unjust, meaning, He blesses us even though we don't deserve it.

Arts is the king of the sports game market with hot upcoming
titles including NCAA Football 11, NHL 11, Madden NFL 11, NBA 11,
FIFA 11, and EA Sports MMA. Now it has made a controversial
decision concerning all of those titles -- it will lock players who
buy used copies out
of online multiplayer.When it comes to sports games, a
multiplayer mode is one of the chief draws. And now that the
internet allows playing with fans all over the world, online
multiplayer provides massive amounts of fun.Purchasers of a
used game get locked out of that goodness. "Online
services, features and bonus content" will all be covered by a
one time code, that won't work for the new purchaser. EA
describes, "You will be unable to play multiplayer online game
modes or use your downloaded content in online game modes."Used
purchasers do gain access to a 7 day trial, but they will have to
purchase a $10 pass if they want to continue to play online.EA
claims its all about offering its customers more, "This is an
important inflection point in our business because it allows us to
accelerate our commitment to enhance premium online services to the
entire robust EA SPORTS online community."Ultimately,
the slick move is likely designed to help it rake in bigger profits,
though. Many purchasers will likely pay the $10 fee to renew
their online access.Retailer GameStop is partnering with EA
to implement the plan. States GameStop Corp. Chief Executive
Officer, Dan DeMatteo, "GameStop is excited to partner with such
a forward-thinking publisher as Electronic Arts. This
relationship allows us to capitalize on our investments to market and
sell downloadable content online, as well as through our network of
stores worldwide."GameStop recent landed itself in a bit
of trouble when it was caught selling used games which
it claimed they were new. Hopefully it doesn't try that
again, this time around.
quote: Personally, I think a $10 transfer fee is a bit steep, but the market sets the price, not us. If EA is charging too much, competitors will step in with better values. If they are charging too little, they'll lose money and stop offering the service.

HEBRON - It's party time in Attica. Or maybe it's time for some rest, depending on who you talk to.
McDonald punched a 2-3 finish with teammates Bobby Johnson and Patrick Kunkel, but the near minute gap until its third runner came in was just too much to overcome as a tightly packed Seneca East team slipped past the defending state champion Blue Devils 101-107 for the Division III state cross country title.
Versailles' Samuel Prakel defended his individual state title, outkicking Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas' Cory Glines 15:16.62 to 15:20.66, but the team honor belonged to a group of Tigers.
"I can finally get some sleep at night," Seneca East's Jason Willman joked. "It feels great."
The team, which flew under the radar at the start of the season, started to make some noise when it won the district title with a record low 17 points.
Seneca East then upended some of the best teams in the state at the Division III regional meet in Tiffin, winning comfortably by 29 points over Minster.
The Tigers knew coming into the state meet that they would have to bring their best effort and that they were going to hurt by the end of the race.
Seneca East's fifth runner, and only senior, Karl Burgderfer experienced just that.
"I had a nice pain in my side (coming into the finishing stretch) and it hurt to finish but I knew I had to finish," Burgderfer stated.
Burgderfer who finished 93rd in last year's state meet, improved 29 places to end 64th (17:00.3).
It wasn't about his time or how he finished though.
"It means a lot; I just started (running cross country) last year. To go out my second year with a state championship means a lot," Burgderfer said. "This group of guys, the coaches and the experience, that's what I can take away from this. It (winning state) still hasn't hit me yet."
The race also marks a milestone for Seneca East High School.
"This is the first boys team title, not just in cross country but in any sport," Seneca East coach Doug Mason said. "This group of guys just did something that no other group of boys in Seneca East history has ever done. It's a lifetime dream for almost any high school kid to say that they're a state champion and these guys are."
Willman, who led last year's fifth-place team by running 13th (16:09.59), again led the way this year after being plagued nearly the entire season with injuries. He finished 17th in 16:14.19, but neither his time nor place mattered; it was all about his team.
"That's really all that really mattered to me, is that our team is on top of the podium. I didn't really care whether I got up there or not, I just wanted to make sure I did what I needed to do," Willman said.
Teammate Carson Pipher finished seven spots behind (24th, 16:17.85) Willman, while twin brother Wes ended 29th (16:22.29) and Jared Stockmaster took 34th (16:32.06).
Stockmaster knew that his race was critical coming into the state meet.
"Before the race I was really nervous, I even almost started to cry, but I knew where I had to be, I knew that I had to get (Jonathan) Albaugh," Stockmaster said.
Albaugh finished the race 11th (16:01.68).
One thing that was noticeable about the Tigers was the support that traveled several hours, including past alumni, such as 2009 state runner-up Brittany Stockmaster.
"It's hard to express, but when you see all your fans here who supported you all year long, plus former alumni who came up short and the made the trip down here, it's definitely special," Mason said. "They come to our practices. They yell at them, they cheer for them. That's what makes it such a great accomplishment; to share this with our whole family, fans and community."
One thing that Mason also addressed was having no front-runner but a solidly-built core of guys who pack well together.
"They learned to become that elite runner ..., and it's amazing that we didn't have anyone in the top 15. It goes to show you the strength of what this group is all about, it is their team and their pack time," Mason said.
Defeating a team that has been on the podium 10 times in the last 13 years (McDonald) was also something that caught Mason's eye.
"They're a perennial power and to beat them as a team and not as individuals makes it that much sweeter," Mason said. "We're just going to keep feeding this machine that we worked so hard to build."
Mason also gave a huge shout out to his assistant coaches, who have been with him since the first day of open runs on June 18.
"These two assistant coaches, Mike Farrell and Matt Schock, they crunch numbers every week after every race. They're updating us all the time and they're a fan of cross (country). They're always giving these guys goals for team scores and they're dang close every time," Mason said.
The Pipher twins have one more thing to do before officially closing out a memorable sophomore season.
"We're going to party," Carson Pipher said.
"We'll go through Republic and Attica, wake everybody up, let them know we're state champs and then we're gonna party," Wes Pipher said.
With a season as tumultuous as Seneca East has had, it only seems fitting.
In the Division I race, Columbian junior Brandon Gibson finished 49th in a personal-best 16:07.65. Getting to state was the goal, and the experience is something he won't soon forget.
"It's a whole lot faster, way more intense. It's just something that you got to get used to. I'm definitely going to get back here (state) next year," Gibson said.
Gibson led the race early on, surging to the front 400 meters in.
"I think I kind of went out too hard, but if I wouldn't have went out as hard as I did, I wouldn't have got what I ran (16:07.65)," Gibson said.
This is Gibson's first season running cross country, and with such a successful opening season, he already has goals for his senior year.
"I want the school record (15:34, which is held by Alan Boos)," Gibson said.
But for now, he'll take in his current accomplishments and look back on this past season.
"It's just been fun," he said.

Alright guys.
Im gearing up to try the fahaka thing again, this time as a personal pet - so he will have my constant observation and care...as opposed to the last time where the puffer was at my lab, and I was gone for 17 days in LA.
Just wondering what exact medication I should have on hands so that one this guy is in QT I can treat for internals immediately.
What foods do you recommend soaking in the medicine?
I havent fully decided if Im going the fahaka route, I have a 100g setup right now, trying to get a 120g set up as well for the next phase as well.
I have a couple other fish setups Im considering, but I have never done the large puffer thing and would really like to.
Thanks again

Ashlee Simpson joined boyfriend Evan Ross over the weekend to celebrate her 29th birthday in Atlanta.
Simpson, whose actual birthday is Oct. 3, Ross and a group of 10 guests gathered Saturday for a late dinner around 9:30 p.m at Buckhead hotspot Umi, where they enjoyed nigiri, sushi rolls, sashimi, rock shrimp tempura and miso-marinated black cod.
Ross is in Atlanta filming the final installment of the Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay, and was joined by his costar Wes Chatham, Jovar Andrews (who was also celebrating his birthday) and DJ Rukus.
"Ashlee and Evan were really sweet. You'd definitely know they were dating if you saw them together," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Around 11 p.m., Liam Hemsworth and three male friends arrived in time for cake (one vanilla and one chocolate) and cocktails.
"Liam was solo. Of course, all the girls in the restaurant wanted to sit close to him, but nothing. He didn't seem interested. He just came with his boys," the source adds.

During more than 40 years as an attorney, B. Martin Luna represented developers at state and county hearings for many resorts and other large projects in Maui County.
But he also worked for restaurant owners and smaller landowners, guiding them through government land use and permitting processes, in his law practice focused on real estate and administrative law.
"He represented anybody that came to his office that needed help," said developer Charlie Jencks, who was deputy director of the Maui County Public Works Department when he got to know Luna in the early 1990s. "He was always ready, willing and able to engage in discussion on an issue. He wasn't intimidated by anything.

Worked until last few days
"He just had this demeanor and personality that was very disarming. He could get right to the gist of the issues very quickly in a very local, comfortable style and get everybody comfortable."
The Wailuku resident, who also was active in the Filipino community and chairman of the task force for the Binhi At Ani Maui Filipino Community Center, died Sunday. He was 74.
"Martin was a true leader in our community and a good friend of Ann and myself personally," Mayor Alan Arakawa said. "His expertise in law was complemented by his good humor, aloha and professionalism.
"On a personal note, Martin emceed both the 2011 and 2012 State of the County events, and it will be impossible not to think of him as we prepare for the event again this year. His presence will be deeply missed. Aloha, Martin, and God bless."
Luna was born July 25, 1938, in Waimea, Kauai, where his parents worked on the sugar plantation. He earned a bachelor's degree and master's degree in political science from Emory University in Georgia.
After being honorably discharged from the Air Force, Luna received his law degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Admitted into the Hawaii bar in January 1968, Luna built his law practice at Ueoka and Luna, then at Carlsmith Ball, where he was a partner in the firm's Maui office.
"It's a tremendous loss for the community," said Wailuku attorney Paul Mancini, who was friends with Luna for more than 40 years, starting in the early 1970s when there were only about 15 lawyers and no major resorts on Maui. "Martin was really the best there is in human beings, the way he cared and respected his family, the community and his friends.
"He was the ultimate professional as a lawyer. He had the charm and the wit and the care for others. He's the type of person you can't replace."
While battling illness, Luna had been active in his law practice, testifying in November at a state Land Use Commission hearing on two Kihei shopping centers.
Over the holidays, Jencks said he participated in a conference call with Luna, who was working with Jencks on three major projects.
"He worked until the last few days," said Vince Bagoyo, who had known Luna since the early 1970s. "He's one of my best friends. He's kind of my mentor."
Luna had served as Democratic Party chairman on Maui. Bagoyo, a former Maui County Council member, said he would joke with Luna about being sorry that Luna had persuaded Bagoyo to run for elected office. Later, when Bagoyo was vice president of Castle & Cooke, Luna represented the company as it moved forward with development of its two resorts on Lanai.
Luna represented many other developments as well. "He has fingerprints on many of the best resort developments on Maui, first-class projects throughout the county," Bagoyo said.
He said Luna was working on a couple of Bagoyo's current development projects.
The day after Christmas, Bagoyo visited with Luna in the hospital, where he ordered his favorite Filipino dish pinakbet.
"He was in great spirits, that's what I remember," Bagoyo said. "He modeled how to live."
Bagoyo was president of the Maui Filipino Community Council when he appointed Luna to be chairman of the task force to create the Binhi At Ani Maui Filipino Community Center. Luna said he would take the position for one year. He would later joke that 13 years later, he was still chairman.
"He wanted to see it to completion," Bagoyo said. "He's probably one of the key people instrumental in making sure that it was built."
In 2005, Luna was honored at a testimonial dinner organized by the Maui Filipino Centennial Celebration Coordinating Council. He also was recognized as a Filipino leader in the community.
When he arrived on Maui from the Philippines in 1970, attorney Antonio Ramil worked as a legal assistant for Luna and his then-partner, Meyer Ueoka.
"He introduced me to a lot of people," said Ramil, who is from Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, where Luna's mother also was from. "Through his inspiration and motivation, I became active in community service also.
"He's a wonderful person. He was a good boss and fair. He is the type of person who can work with everybody."
In the mid-1980s, Luna was elected president of the Hawaii State Bar Association, becoming the first attorney from the Neighbor Islands to hold the position, Ramil said.
"That's how well-liked he was," Ramil said.
Luna is survived by his wife, Kay; sons Neal and Dane; daughter Kari Nunokawa; and six grandchildren.
A celebration of Luna's life will be held Saturday at Ala Lani United Methodist Church in Kahului, with visitation beginning at 3:30 p.m., followed by a service at 5:30 p.m.

quote: The point was that his argument isn't helping his position. His post reads like a total geek out, exactly the type of thing those buying pre-built NASes like the QNAPs and Synologys are often completely uninterested in. Seriously, compiling your own NAS OS add-ons are a plus for end users at home? That's just a bizarre argument.

True to the principles of the Pontos collection, the new Pontos Chronographe plays the game with no need for time out. Its pure-bred style suffers no compromise. With its sporty, sculptured lines, this watch is designed to show off its distinctive features. Contemporary in style, the blue dial highlights the chronograph functions and gives substance to its overall proportions. Powered by precision mechanics, this watch is aimed at those who appreciate sportsmanship and design. A variation on the Pontos Chronographe series launched in 2004, the Pontos Chronographe timepieces are operated by an automatic movement based on the Valjoux 7750 caliber, renowned for its performance and reliability.
It is fitted with a chronograph featuring 30-minute and 12-hour counters, and the small seconds and date apertures are at 9 and 6 o'clock respectively, creating a beautifully balanced display of the time data. The steely blue color of the sun-brushed finished dial confirms its high quality and pedigree. To achieve optimum legibility, the applied index markers and hands have a luminescent coating. The steel case features skillfully designed push-pieces that retract into the case middle, while the case back opens fully to reveal the beauty of the mechanism inside. Available with a bracelet or leather strap, the new Maurice Lacroix chronograph is an utterly reliable master of short time measurement.
