Use a video movie maker to make great Independence Day muvees
It's July – has anyone taken any great shots to celebrate the official start of summer? In particular, if you're from the United States, we'd like to your Independence Day slideshows. We've noticed that a user uploaded an Independence Day slidehow (using muvee's Independence Day Style to boot!) to YouTube about a year ago, but nothing since then. Do you have any Independence Day muvees?

Prosperity Team Reviews
About Prosperity Team
Prosperity Team is a work at home training program which works in combination with the well known Empower Network to give their members the ability to earn a livable wage from the comfort of home.
The Empower Network is a multi level marketing (MLM) business opportunity. MLM is a type of business where representatives make money not just from selling products but also from recruiting new representatives.
The business opportunity being sold by Prosperity Team is the Empower Network, but here it is being repackaged with some additional tools and resources under a new name to attract new representatives in a competitive market. This is also a method used by other Network reps, like Pure Leverage or Big Idea Mastermind.
Prosperity Network promises their members receive an added level of training and support from with the Empower Network community. In fact, Prosperity Team claims that 40 of the Network's top 100 sales leaders are a part of their community.
While the Empower Network provides their members with the necessary knowledge, tools, and resources to successfully market MLM opportunities, the Prosperity Team adds to this by providing their own form of support and training.
This includes daily webinars with step by step assignments from the top leaders on their team so you can "steal" their secrets and use them for yourself. In addition, these webinars can help you deal with the problems and challenges that everyone faces when establishing their first online business.
The cost of joining Empower Network begins at $25 a month with an additional $19.95 each month to become an affiliate, but members also have an option of purchasing packages which are priced at $500 and sometimes even more.
New members should go to extra lengths to understand the program and how it works to determine if they have issues or complaints before they make the decision to invest more money into additional programs.
If you have any experience with this business opportunity, please leave your Prosperity Team reviews below.

Charity Ministries is a ministry of Charity Christian Fellowship and Ephrata Christian Fellowship, both located in Lancaster County, PA. It publishes a bimonthly magazine, has an extensive mission outreach in Africa, holds meetings across North America, and sends out thousands of Gospel messages on cassette, CD, and the Internet each year.
Many years ago God began working in the hearts of a former Amish man and a Baptist preacher. Mose Stoltzfus and Denny Kenaston both became burdened seeing the lack of spirituality in many churches. Their hearts locked together with a vision to get back to a revived, New Testament, Christ-centered church. With this vision before their eyes, they began Charity Christian Fellowship in 1982.
PastorRich wrote:I once had a meeting with one of the main leaders when another younger leader kept acting goofy and disrespectful as I tried to talk. I finally told the main leader you better reign this mad dog in. What was this mans main attitude problem with me? He didn't like folks from Florida. Said they were all lukewarm and spiritually indifferent.

The response I got was that the Hutterites were locked into man-made tradition and not really spiritual . . . A "don't confuse me with the facts" kind of answer!
Jazman says,
But I know many people who would say they were 'scarred' by charity, would concur with PastorRich's assessment that they are a cult would have nothing good to say about charity people.

Historical documents and finds testify that Narni, whose primary name was "Nequinum", has been inhabited from the Paleolith. In 229 BC it brought down the Roman Empire, because of the betrayal of two locals. The Romans renamed the city as "Narnia" that, in 233 BC, became a very important fortification, thanks to the construction of the via Flaminia.
Unfortunately we don't have many information about that period, but it is said that Narni used to have a strategic importance during the I and II Punic wars. Indeed nearby the district of Stifone, along the River Nera, close to the ancient port of the city, has recently been found an archaeological site of a Roman shipyard.
During the Renaissance Narni was frequented by the most brilliant and famous artists of the survey, like: Rossellino, Ghirlandaio, Vecchietta, Antoniazzo Romano and Spagna.
In 1527 the city was conquered with a treacherous attack and razed to the ground by the Lansquenets and later rebuilt by artists and architects like: Zuccari, Vignola, Sangallo and Scalza. In 1664 was built the magnificent public library.
In Narni you'll admire numerous astonishing valuable monuments, among which we must mention:
the Romanesque Cathedral, inside which you'll find incredible works of art by Rossellino and other artists;
the Church of San Francesco, dated at XIII century, with unbelievably beautiful frescoes of the local school of art;
Palazzo dei Priori, built in 1275 probably by Gattapone from Gubbio and situated in the homonym medieval square. In this square you will also admire Palazzo Comunale.
Narni has plenty of other notable monuments, like: Palazzo Scotti, frescoed by Zuccari in 1581; San Bernardo Gardens, from which you'll enjoy a gorgeous view of River Nera's valley and have access to the basement of the Church of San Domenico, today seat of the library and the Record Office; the Church of Santa Restituta and its fantastic convent; Sant'Agostino very rich in works of art dated in XIV century and the Church of Santa Margherita with an extremely interesting series of frescoes attributed to Pomarancio.
Narni is lively and enjoyable any time of the year, and if you are fond in music and art, you won't be disappointed by the numerous events and festivals
Here there are some very important annual appointments:
Other towns in the area:Acquasparta, Amelia, Assisi, Baschi, Bevagna, Campello sul Clitunno, Canalicchio, Cascia, Castel Ritaldi, Castiglione del Lago, Castiglione della Valle, Citerna, Citta della Pieve, Citta' di Castello, Collazzone, Collepepe, Deruta, Fabro, Fabro Scalo, Ferentillo, Fighille, Gualdo Cattaneo, Guardea, Gubbio, Lippiano, Lisciano Niccone, Massa Martana, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina , Montefalco, Montegabbione, Montegiove, Montone, Morra, Norcia, Orvieto, Passignano sul Trasimeno, Perugia, Pietralunga, Preci, Ramazzano, San Gemini, San Giustino, Santa Maria degli Angeli, Spello, Spoleto, Terni, Todi, Trevi, Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Umbertide, Valtopina

Birds flock to family's garden haven
Live updates
More sea birds 'could die' from pollution spill
More sea birds could die from a pollution spill that has contaminated England's south coast, wildlife experts say. A change in wind direction is now blowing many birds out to sea and could lead to more fatalities in the coming days as they become cold and exhausted.
Scientists from the Environment Agency identified the mystery substance as a refined mineral oil, but not from an animal or vegetable-based oil and ruled out palm oil.
Seabirds die in oily pollution, warns expert
An illegal dumping of cargo oil at sea could have caused the deaths of hundreds of sea birds along England's south coast, an expert said.
Thousands of birds have been washed to shore along coastline that stretches from West Sussex to Cornwall after being covered in a sticky, oily substance.
Wildlife experts and volunteers raced to the shoreline to save as many birds as possible, and hundreds - mostly guillemots - are now being treated at RSPCA centres.
Scientists from the Environment Agency identified the mystery substance as a refined mineral oil, but not from an animal or vegetable-based oil.
Some kind of accident such as a leaky gearbox or a broken pipe is the most likely cause of a mineral oil spill, but it is unusual that it would cause this much havoc.
So that makes one think it could be an illegal dump of cargo oil - oil that is being transported rather than used in the working of the ship.
This could happen if there was illegal washing out of tanks at sea. Some unscrupulous operators, and they are rare, flush the tanks out there because it is cheaper and easier than doing it in dock. It is illegal and quite harmful.
Volunteers rescue birds on Dorset coast
RSPCA volunteers have been scouring the coast in Dorset for more birds covered in a mysterious sticky substance.
'Glue-like' substance removed from seabirds
Workers are racing against time to remove a glue-like material trapped to the feathers of hundreds of birds washed up on the south west coast. Hundreds of washed up birds have died, as a result of the mystery substance, according to the RSCPA.
An investigation is underway along 200 miles of coastline. ITV News Reporter Richard Lawrence reports from an RSPCA centre near Taunton:
Seabird rescue: latest pictures
Hundreds of sea birds are feared dead as many are washed up along the south coast. Covered in oil - there are concerns hundreds more could die over the coming days.
More stricken seabirds wash up on the south coast
Increasing numbers of seabirds are washing up on the south coast covered in a mystery substance.
Wildlife experts are no closer to discovering the cause of the environmental damage, which has seen more than 100 birds taken into the RSPCA West Hatch wildlife centre in Taunton, Somerset. Most of the birds were found at Chesil Beach, Dorset:
RSPCA deputy chief inspector John Pollock, who has been leading the rescue mission in Dorset, said
We just do not know what this substance is. It is white, odourless and globular, like a silicone sealer. The best way I can think to describe it is 'sticky Vaseline'.
The numbers of the birds coming in have been growing and sadly there were quite a few dead birds this morning.
We are still down at the beach, though, collecting and trying to save as many of them as we can. We are expecting this rescue mission to continue through the weekend.
Veterinary staff treat washed-up sea birds
A rescue operation is under way after approximately 100 seabirds were washed up on the south coast covered in an unidentified sticky white substance.
The RSPB said the guillemots, a kind of awk, were discovered on Lyme Bay near Weymouth.The birds have been taken to West Hatch Animal Centre in Taunton but attempts to clean them have been hampered by not knowing what the substance is, Grahame Madge, of the RSPB, said.
Over 100 guillemots found covered in sticky film
Hundreds of seabirds have been washed up on the south west coast, covered in an unidentified sticky substance and causing the RSPCA being called to the rescue.
Guillemots have been found along the Dorset and Devon coast between Weymouth and Torquay. Many have sore legs and are covered in a greasy film.
The birds are being transported to the RSPCA's West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Somerset, where efforts are being made to clean them. Early signs are that they are not responding well.
Substance on guillemots is 'not fuel'
An RSPCA manager has said it is "too early" to assess how successful the organisation's attempts to help the 100 guillemots washed up on the south west coast will be.
Peter Venn, RSPCA West Hatch manager, said:
The numbers of birds arriving in to our centre are growing and we are doing all we can to help them - but it is too early to tell how successful these attempts will be.
We do not know what this substance is or where it has come from yet but we do know it is not fuel. It may be bi-product from manufacture, but at this stage we just do not know.
We would urge anyone who finds any of these birds to contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.
There are also reports of the sticky substance washing up on the beach, so we would urge people walking their dogs in the area to also be careful.
Fears rise Britain's native bird population is dying out
There is worrying evidence that more of Britain's native bird population is dying out.
A group of conservationists say the UK has been losing an average of one breeding pair every minute since 1966.
The species worst affected by the decline are House Sparrows and Wrens.
ITV News' West of England Correspondent Emily Morgan reports on what is behind the alarming decline:

Don't sell unless you absolutely have to. Don't buy until 2010, when prices should be at 2000 levels.

A few weeks later, he started blogging. His wife, Donna, who helps manage the family brokerage, was nervous. "He was really pushing the envelope with the blog, taking people on, naming names," she said. "I took deep breaths. I didn't know how it would turn out."

Increased ticket sales in California and throughout the nation have helped the Mega Millions jackpot rise to a near U.S. lottery record of $636 million. The jackpot increased by $50 million overnight, according to lottery officials.
The estimated lump sum amount is now $341.2 million.
The jackpot's now the second largest ever in North America, only $20 million behind the record, which came from a Mega Millions drawing in March of 2012 in which three winning tickets split the total, officials said.
The winning tickets came from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland.
Lottery officials said the current jackpot has rolled over 21 times since the last winner on October, 1. They estimate about 70% of the 259 million possible number combinations will be sold for Tuesday night's drawing. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 259 million.
But officials said if nobody wins this drawing, it's possible that the jackpot could reach $1 billion for the first time ever.
You have until 7:45 p.m. to buy a ticket for Tuesday night's drawing, the numbers will be revealed at 8 p.m.
According to officials with the California Lottery, the following two locations are considered 'lucky retailers' because they have each had two big winners:
- Circle K at 45200 Portola Avenue, Palm Desert, 92260
- 7-Eleven at 1798 N. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, 92262.

Willamette University
After 34 years of teaching
philosophy at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, I retired from full-time
teaching in May of 2006. My principal area of interest and the area in which I have
done most of my own writing is philosophy of religion--which, of course, overlaps
with metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, philosophy of mind, and virtually every
other area of philosophy.
I grew up in an exceptionally loving family, on the one hand, and in an exceptionally rigid fundamentalist church, on the other. I also graduated from a conservative Christian high school in which I acquired several lifelong friendships with some of the most intriguing personalities I have ever encountered in any context. My high school days and the enduring friendships I made at that time are in many ways the most cherished part of my life.
But as I continued to examine my religious heritage, first as an undergraduate, then as a seminary student, and finally as a graduate student in philosophy, I reluctantly came to the following conclusion. What too often passes for orthodox Christian theology is riddled with logical impossibilities. Worse yet, the Western theological tradition, insofar as it reflects the thought of St. Augustine and John Calvin, has too often twisted the New Testament message of love, forgiveness, and hope into a message of fear and condemnation. I explain all of this in my book, The Inescapable Love of God, and a second edition of this book is now available through Cascade Books, a division of Wipf and Stock Publishers in Eugene, Oregon. I also interact with other scholars on these matters in two additional books: Universal Salvation? The Current Debate, which is edited by Robin Parry and Christopher Partridge, and Perspectives on Election, which is edited by Chad Brand. In all of these writings as well as in other journal articles, book chapters, and an entry on universalism in The Oxford Handbook of Eschatology (Jerry Walls, editor), my aim has been to call attention to a minority Christian tradition, one that presents a stunning and utterly consistent vision of God's all-inclusive, all pervasive, and inexorable love.
My thanks to Peter Schmurr for designing such a clean-looking website for someone as technologically challenged as I.

97 chevrolet silveraldo z714x4 5.7l
by truck enthusiast from Richburg, SC | July 26, 2014
This truck is like none of the newer models in my opinion. It runs great, has pretty good gas mileage, sturdy frame, easy to work on, and is extremely reliable. Never have had any major issues with this truck. Has 170000+ miles and runs like it's new! If you're looking for a great truck, this would be it! I bought a new car last year and WOW what a difference! Yeah, it's more "modern" but everything scratches and tears up so easily in comparison to this truck!

Hi, I own the 93 Silverado, 4X4, 1500, 5.7L, std. 5spd. Great truck, it will take you anywhere you want to go in comfort. The biggest draw backs to these old trucks are the small parts like alternators, water pumps and wiper motors. I must also mention my trucks MPG. City 11, Hwy 15. That's acceptable to me for a dependable truck. I hope this helps somebody make a good choice on a truck. Good Luck.

MIFFLINTOWN - The Juniata County School District has placed the following voter referendum question on the Tuesday election ballot.
According to information provided by the school district, the question will read:
Referendum Question
Raising Real Property Taxes Beyond the Index
Do you favor the Juniata County School District imposing additional 11.353 mills in real estate tax? This equates to a $189.62 tax for a property assessed at the average assessment of $16,702. The revenue generated from the increased tax rate will be used to balance the district's 2011-2012 budget. The current tax rate is 52.35 mills.
Nonlegal Interpretative Statement
Under Act 1 of 2006, the Juniata County School District may not impose a tax increase of more than 1.9 percent unless voters approve. Because of the extraordinary circumstances due to funding cuts from the state, a tax increase of 11.353 mills is required to balance the District's 2011-2012 budget, which amount exceeds 1.9 percent. The school board has determined that this tax increase is required in order to allow the District to continue to provide educational programming at its present level.
The estimated revenue that will be generated from the increased tax rate is $2,281,953.
If the majority of voters vote "yes," the increased tax rate will be imposed and the District will continue providing educational programming as determined by the school board and the following programs will continue: Kindergarten; Vocational Agriculture; Building Trades; Industrial Arts; Business Education; Family & Consumer Science; Secondary Music and Art, extracurricular activities such as sports, band and plays; 2 secondary guidance counselors and 2.5 secondary secretaries.
If the majority of voters vote "no," the increased tax rate stated in the referendum question will not be imposed and programs listed above will cease to exist.
The current tax rate is 52.35 mills. The proposed tax rate is 63.703 mills, which is an increase of 11.353 mills effective for the school years starting July 1, 2011. The proposed tax increase equates to $1 per $100 of assessed value or a $189.62 tax increase for property assessed at the average property assessment of $16,702.
Your vote on this referendum question will not affect the school district's ability to receive State funds that will be used for property tax relief.

The versatile Munsterman missed last week's narrow defeat with a chest injury but has recovered in time to help Ireland try and finally record their first win over the All Blacks.
Injury sees fellow Lion Gordon D'Arcy replaced by Paddy Wallace at inside centre, with Wallace having only been called up to the tour party last week after missing out on original selection.
Jamie Heaslip is another Lion unavailable through injury after breaking a finger in the heartbreaking 22-19 reverse last time out so Peter O'Mahony starts at No8 and Chris Henry comes on to the replacements' bench.
Ireland came so, so close to securing their most famous result against the reigning World Champions in Christchurch a week ago, with only a last-gasp drop goal from Dan Carter preventing them from taking a share of the spoils and keeping the three-match series alive.
It was a massive improvement from the 42-10 mauling they suffered in Auckland in the opening rubber but head coach Declan Kidney knows it will mean very little unless they can produce a similar showing on Saturday.
"There's no point in doing it once," said Kidney, who likened the return to an extended series rather than one-off Tests to next year's Lions trip to Australia.
"Nobody goes to an inconsistent doctor. That's just the truth of it. But then that said, what way are they going to turn up then too? It's how you measure consistency. There'll be a completely different challenge.
"This is like a Lions series, where you play three Tests on the trot. There's a build up to it and you must do your work. Everybody will write things like dead rubbers but once these games start they're full throttle too.
"I don't want to be using clichés but that's the opportunity that Saturday presents. You either want to shy away from that or you want to accept it.
"We now go to Hamilton when they appear to be a little bit bruised. This means it's going to be all the tougher. That will give us a better indication as to where we sit.
"We said we'd learn a lot about ourselves on this tour. We have done so far and I think we'll continue to do that right to the last minute."
New Zealand will be without Dan Carter after the star fly-half damaged a hamstring, while skipper Richie McCaw starts at No8 rather than openside flanker for the first time.
Ireland: Rob Kearney; Fergus McFadden, Brian O'Driscoll (captain), Paddy Wallace, Keith Earls; Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross, Dan Tuohy, Donncha Ryan, Kevin McLaughlin, Sean O'Brien, Peter O'Mahony
Replacements: Sean Cronin, Declan Fitzpatrick, Donnacha O'Callaghan, Chris Henry, Eoin Reddan, Ronan O'Gara, Andrew Trimble

Arthur BOYD (born 1920, AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR IN 1995) and HERITAGE PROTECTION FOR 62 ROSEBUD PARADE, Rosebud, Victoria.
As can be easily found in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, this Arthur was a member of an artistic family. His grandfather, also named Arthur Boyd, came to Australia via New Zealand. The family became established at Murrumbeena, with one of the properties being Open Country where young Arthur's father, Merric, became a famed potter. When Merric's mother died in late 1936, young Arthur went to live with his grand-father at what is now 62 ROSEBUD PARADE, ROSEBUD. Young Arthur's maternal grandmother, Evelyn Gough, an early advocate of equality for women, had owned a house on the foreshore (Rosebud Fishing Village)since 1905 or before. With tuition from his grandfather, the teenager painted many scenes in the Rosebud area (10 known so far)until 1939 when his grandfather's ill health forced a return to Murrumbeena. Merric and Bloomfield are two common given names in this Boyd family and I suspect that they were maiden names of women that married into the family. Two of young Arthur's paintings featured Charles and Walter Burnham's jetty at the bay end of Boneo Rd; the view from the east gracing the cover of Robin Boyd's book. The house at 64 Rosebud Ave has been demolished so the Mornington Peninsula Shire must immediately protect the house that the 1995 Australian of the Year occupied, as a teenager launching a fabulous career. Honour this noted family's connection with Rosebud!
As two of Arthur's paintings, HOUSE AT ROSEBUD and INTERIOR LIVING ROOM, ROSEBUD had been sequestered on gallery websites, finding the house was difficult. Ben Boyd, a descendant of Arthur's, answered a plea for help emailed to his sister and it was mainly due to his titles searches that the house was granted heritage protection.
The newspaper article might have helped a bit.
A LOCAL historian wants a Rosebud house where renowned artist Arthur Boyd once lived to receive heritage status.
It was when he began researching Rosebuds history that he discovered the link between the Boyd family of painters, potters and writers and the house at 62 Rosebud Parade.
The retired primary school teacher had already written extensively about different aspects of peninsula history when he read that the Boyd presence in Rosebud started in 1905 through Arthur Boyds grandmother, Evelyn Gough.
I have advised the owner of 62 Rosebud Parade that I intend to apply a heritage overlay to the property; this process takes some time, and in the meantime I am exploring what the future of the cottage could be in a practical sense, for example what could it be used for.
It may be that the owner is willing to sell the property to someone - or some organisation - interested to preserve it for its Arthur Boyd history.
Do you know of any persons, or organisations, that might have in interest in the cottage, to purchase or to use?
I would appreciate any leads you can give me.
The Bundanon Trust, The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, University Arts Departments, or some umbrella group for Art Societies (if such exists) might be able to get a Government grant to buy the property and employ a live-in manager. I envisage groups of artists, from interstate or country or even metropolitan areas, staying in the house for a reasonable fee for a week or so to follow an expanded Artists' trail and execute their own works of our Peninsula beauty spots. Failing lack of interest from the above organisations and success in obtaining grants, there are many artists living on the peninsula who would probably jump at the opportunity to buy a house with such bragging rights and conduct it as a B&B for clients as described above. They could pocket income from guests for accommodation and conducted tours (the trail, good locations to paint) as well as soaking up inspiration from the many different artists that Arthur Boyd's house would attract. Local traders (shopkeepers) would benefit from the extra tourists that this very different guest house would attract.

Itellya is researching local history on the Mornington Peninsula and is willing to help family historians with information about the area between Somerville and Blairgowrie. He has extensive information about Henry Gomm of Somerville, Joseph Porta (Victoria's first bellows manufacturer) and Captain Adams of Rosebud.
What a remarkable family. I like Jamie's work too. Unfortunately out of my price range.

After month's sequestered in his secret underground lair, LEGO artist Baron von Brunk emerges with a massive Super Mario Bros. 3 airship that rivals any other block-meets-pixels creation I've seen. Behold its glory.
Okay, so he probably doesn't have an underground lair (though you never know, he is based in Queens, New York). What Baron von Brunk does have is a 1.8m long folding table covered with the most magnificent work of Super Mario LEGO work I've ever seen.
It's got mini-ships. It's got lights. It's got sounds. It's got Bullet Bills in mid-fire. It's even got a control deck, something the airships in the game seem to have left out.
Von Brunk details the model's creation on his blog:
Here it is at last, the finalised version of the massive Super Mario 3 airship project that I've been gradually working on since November 2011! Initially planned to be much smaller and streamlined, this titanic brute ballooned up to a larger scale, and used over 8,000 LEGO pieces in its completed form – as well as electronic components, such as lights and audio. The bulk of the ship is built entirely from reddish-brown pieces that resemble wooden planks, to create the effect of a rickety, wood ship made from logs, such as in its respective video game. Rather than have this ship docked on the ground, I used the magic of transparent-clear LEGO pieces for stanchions and columns, to keep it suspended several inches off the ground (as well as its small fleet of mini-ships flying)!
I'd almost rather believe it was hovering as if by magic.
Hit up the good Baron's site for more details on this wondrous construct, complete with plenty of photos snapped by his photographer pal Roz Smith.

I decided to fly the 336 kilometres to Trichy from Chennai, as all the trains from Chennai to Trichy were full due to the weekend rush.
Air Deccan is the only other airline (apart from Indian(IC)), which flies to TRZ. I bought an e-ticket for 1500 rupees each (almost $40), one-way for me and my younger brother.
We went to the MAA airport domestic terminal at 12.45pm on Saturday, about 2 hours before departure. The DN counter was pretty crowded and most of the flights leaving at that time of the day were either DN or 9W. We stood in the queue and were promptly checked-in and the boarding passes issued(hand-written).
After waiting for about an hour, we went through security and waited for the boarding call at Gate 01. Spent the time looking at a particularly dapper-looking A320 owned by IC. When the boarding call came, all the passengers bound for TRZ on DN153 boarded a shuttle, which took us to our aircraft.
It was a beautiful white ATR-42, with the Air Deccan Symbol of "Hands forming a bird" on the tail. DN has free seating, so we made it a point to be one of the first to board the aircraft and went fully forward and took the first row of forward-facing seats on the righthand side. There were two rear-facing seats in front of us, but we didn't take it. My window offered a superb view of the huge prop. We spotted a few 9W 737s take-off from runway 7 and a Paramount Airways' E-170 land on runway 7. Given thye high temperature and humidity outside, the aircraft was like an oven and all of us started sweating profusely. Only when the aircraft started taxiing at 14:45 did we feel a gust of filtered cool air from the vents above us.
We taxied along at quite a pace, I don't know if it's an illusion or not. But I felt we were taxiing much faster than in a usual 737 (probably because the ATR is lighter and you don;t want a heavy 737 rollling along at the same speed ??). I spotted a Blue-Dart operated 757 (first time sighting a 757 in India), a few 737s and one Fokker50 with a logo "CA" on its tail (it was a freighter, and it was standing alongside the 757 and the 737s in the cargo apron).
We taxied onto runway 7 and taxied briskly along till the intersection of runways 7-25 and 12-30. We turned left onto runway 30, reached the very end of it and made a U-turn, now we were on the numbers of Runway 12.
The take-off roll was awesome! I was pushed back to my seat and the plane accelerated like crazy, about halfway along the runway, we lifted off and I could see the 12000 foot Runway 7-25 stretching across from me. We climbed up to our cruising altitude (we weren't very high, my guess is about 12k to 15k feet). But the visibility was not that much due to haze.
DN sells snacks on its flight. Browsing through the menu, I asked for Cofee, but the FA said that they didn't have it. I settled for a can of Coke, but they didn;t have that either!! She apologised and said that they only had cookies and fruit cakes. I bought a fruit cake for 30 rupees (about 75 cents - but in Chennai you can have a full meal for 30 rupees whereas you'd get fries or a Burrito for 75 cents in the US), but was disappointed to see that it was bite-sized.
We cruised along smoothly, and about halfway thru the flight we encountered some mild turbulence. There were tufts of huge cumulus clouds all around and I could also see some thunderstorm cells in the distance. I enjoyed it when the pilot banked left at the last moment to avoid a huge cumulus cloud. i watched it sail by, right outside the wing-tip. We started our descent and we had skirted round the thunderstorm cells.
I could see the huge rivers Cauvery and its distributary Coleroon (which is even wider) as we descended further down. I asked my brother to watch out for the runway. I had chosen the right-hand side window particularly for that, as I knew that we'd most probably be landing on Runway 27 and we'd turn to our right as we are flying in from the north.
My brother shouted that he could see the runway, I looked further and saw the runway angled about 45 degrees to our heading. The captain asked the FA to assume positions for landing. We banked to the right and it was a turning final which ended right on the runway threshold. We flared and the aircraft touched down softly, a few seconds later. There was some construction going on around the runway. Good news if they are improving the airport.
We taxied onto the apron and we got off a few minutes later. Ours was the only aircraft in the vicinity and I walked around the aircraft, taking in the various details and enjoying it thoroughly (felt like a FO making a preflight check   .
The airport in TRZ is not much to tell about, but it was decent enough. Our baggage arrived in trolleys pushed by the airport staff. We took a taxi to our house ( the airport is just 4 kilometres away from downtown Trichy).
It was a great trip and I enjoyed my first flight on a turboprop very much.
And by the way, did I mention that the FA looked ravishing?

T&F Sends 12 Individuals To MAC Outdoor Championships
MUNCIE, Ind. - - The Ball State outdoor track & field team travels to Akron's Lee R. Jackson Track & Field Complex for this week's 2013 Mid-American Conference Outdoor Championships May 9-11.
The three-day event kicks off Thursday at 10 a.m. with action in the women's hammer throw. The top eight performers in each event will score based on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale.
Last season, the Cardinals placed 10th out of the 12 teams at the championship meet with a total of 22 points.
With a new qualifying format this season, the Cardinals will send 12 individuals, as well as a pair of relays, to this season's outdoor conference meet.
Unlike previous years, automatic qualifying standards were in place for this season's meet with events capped at 20 participants. If 20 student-athletes did not post automatic marks in an event, entrants were selected going down the conference's performance list.
In her final appearance at the league championships, senior MaryKate Mellen posted automatic qualifying marks in both the 800m run (2:12.05) and the 1500m run (4:28.71). Mellen is seeded to place second in the 1500m run and eighth in the 800m run.
Sophomore distance runner Courtney Edon and freshman thrower Michaela Hull also qualified for a pair of events each. Edon is set to run in both the 3000m Steeplechase (11:00.17 / 12th seed) and the 5000m run (17:25.87 / 15th seed), while Hull is entered in the discus (44.06m / 15th seed) and the javelin (32.28m / 15th seed).
Aside from Mellen, sophomore Haley Austin is the only other BSU student-athlete seeded in the top 10, entering the league championships ranked sixth in the high jump with a season-best distance to 1.68m.

Objectives: Information on early HIV-1 infection has come primarily from studies of persons infected with subtype B in North America and Europe; much less is known about other subtypes. The purpose of the present study was to compare the virologic and immunologic parameters following seroconversion among recently-infected persons infected with either of two different HIV-1 subtypes.
Method: A prospective cohort study was carried out at methadone treatment clinics administered by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Thailand. A total of 130 HIV-1-infected seroconverters (103 with HIV-1 subtype E and 27 with subtype B) were included in the study. The main outcome measures were serial HIV-1 RNA viral load, natural killer cell percentage, CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte counts since seroconversion.
Results: The demographic and behavioral characteristics of persons with either subtype were similar. Median RNA viral levels at the earliest time within 3 months of seroconversion were more than three times higher for persons infected with subtype E than subtype B (63 100 versus 18 050 copies/ml, P = 0.001). However, this difference decreased over time such that viral loads were similar at 12, 18, and 24 months following seroconversion. The CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte counts were similar in infections with either subtype during the entire period up to 24 months post-seroconversion.
Conclusions: Higher viral loads associated with subtype E may result from inter-subtype biological differences; however, the epidemiological dynamics of transmission in Bangkok may have also contributed to this phenomenon.
Human immunodeficiency virus, type 1, exhibits a high degree of genetic variation and has been classified into a number of clades or subtypes [1]. Although a variety of viral and host factors have been shown to influence pathogenesis [2,3], the relative role of HIV-1 genetic variation in influencing transmissibility and pathogenesis has been a topic of debate and a focus for research in recent years [1,4].
The variable course of early HIV-1 infection has been described primarily from studies of persons in North America and Europe who have recently become infected with HIV-1 subtype B [2,5–7]. Of the many factors associated with pathogenesis [2,3], plasma viral load has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of disease progression and clinical outcome [5,8–12]. The viral RNA level established by 6 months after infection has been shown to be highly predictive of subsequent disease progression and appears to be influenced by both viral and host factors [2,5]. In addition, higher viral load has been closely associated with increased sexual [13] and perinatal [14,15] HIV-1 transmission.
To date, relatively few studies have examined the early events following seroconversion and the clinical progression of HIV-1 infection in developing countries, where most infections are occurring worldwide and are caused by subtypes other than B [4,11,16]. It is extremely important to understand, within the context of prevention and treatment whether HIV-1 disease progression differs in population groups around the world and by infecting subtype [4,16,17].
The HIV-1 epidemic in Thailand has been well-described with a very rapid initial epidemic among injection drug users (IDU) in Bangkok in the late 1980s caused primarily by HIV-1 subtype B followed by a much larger epidemic of HIV-1 subtype E among people at heterosexual risk of infection [18–20]. However, in recent years, subtype E has been documented to account for an increasing proportion of infections in IDUs [20–22]. Although a number of potential factors have been hypothesized to contribute to the increase in subtype E infections, it remains unknown whether HIV-1 subtype E differs significantly from subtype B in transmissibility and disease progression [23–25]. The objectives of this study were to describe and compare the virologic and immunologic events following seroconversion among IDUs who had recently become infected with either of two HIV-1 subtypes, B or E.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) manages a large municipal drug treatment program in Bangkok, Thailand where approximately 8000 drug users are seen annually. As described elsewhere, 1209 HIV-negative injecting heroin users were enrolled and followed in a prospective study at 15 BMA drug treatment clinics from May 1995 to December 1996 [21,26]. They were treated with methadone and received HIV prevention, education, and counseling. Participants in the original study were seen at 4-month intervals where they were interviewed and serum specimens were tested for antibodies to HIV-1 by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) at the BMA laboratory as described previously [21]. Specimens that were found to be HIV-1-seropositive on EIA were tested with another EIA (Genetic Systems, Redmond, Washington, USA) and Western blot (Novapath HIV-1 Immunoblot; BioRad, Hercules, California, USA) at the HIV/AIDS Collaboration laboratory; specimens that were positive on EIA and Western blot were considered to be HIV-seropositive [26]. Following positive serologic testing for HIV-1, subjects were offered, with voluntary informed consent, enrollment in a subsequent prospective study of HIV-infected persons where blood was collected as soon as possible, 1 month later, and then at 4-month intervals. The study protocols were approved by the Ethical Review of Research Committee, Ministry of Public Health, Nonthaburi, Thailand and an Institutional Review Board, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, USA. As of December 1998, after 2308 person–years of observation, 133 IDUs seroconverted to HIV-1 yielding an incidence of 5.8 per 100 person–years [26]. Of the seroconverters from the original cohort, 126 agreed to participate in the study. In addition, four IDU seroconverters were identified during 1998 from a sixteenth BMA clinic site yielding a total of 130 persons.
At each study visit, participants were interviewed about risk behavior and were clinically evaluated and referred for treatment of any medical conditions as per BMA treatment guidelines [26]. Serum specimens were collected at all visits for serological testing [21]. Following the first seropositive visit, additional venous blood samples were collected into EDTA-anticoagulated tubes and Cell Preparation Tubes (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lake, New Jersey, USA) for lymphocyte phenotyping, cell pellets, and separation into plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The PBMC were frozen in liquid nitrogen and all cell pellets and plasma samples were frozen at −70°C within 8 h of collection. Genetic characterization of all viral isolates has been described previously [22]. Specimens from the last seronegative visit, first seropositive visit, and all subsequent visits following seroconversion were tested for viral load determination by Amplicor HIV-1 Monitor Test version 1.5 (Roche Diagnostics, Branchburg, New Jersey, USA). The lower limit of quantitation was 400 RNA copies/ml. Lymphocyte immunophenotyping was carried out on fresh EDTA-anticoagulated venous samples following the first seropositive visit with the FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, California, USA) using a standard six-tube, two color monoclonal antibody panel (Becton Dickinson). Natural killer (NK) cells were defined as cells that were CD3−, CD16+, and CD56+. Characterization of viral strains was confirmed by genetic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis [22]. Finally, to assess the possibility of differential sensitivity of the Amplicor Monitor viral load assay to either subtype B or E, we measured virion-associated reverse transcriptase (RT) activity at the first seropositive visit, which was the earliest time point following seroconversion, using the Amp-RT assay [27].
Demographic, behavioral and follow-up characteristics of seroconverters were compared by infecting HIV-1 subtype. Serial HIV-1 viral load and three immunological parameters (CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte counts and NK cell percentages) were analyzed over time in persons infected with either HIV-1 subtype B or E. Estimated date of seroconversion (EDS) was assumed to have occurred at the midpoint between the dates of the last EIA-negative test and the first EIA-positive test. Although no antiretroviral therapy was reported for any of the seroconverters during the first 12 months following seroconversion, antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected persons increased substantially in Thailand during the latter period of this study. Therefore, all data observations from 2 months before and subsequent to the first reported antiretroviral therapy were right-censored so that analyses and comparisons reported in this study came from data contributed only by seroconverters when they were treatment naive.
The non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare viral load and the immunological parameters at key time periods following EDS. These periods were the first determination within 3 months of EDS, and sequential determinations closest in time (within 3 months) to 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months following EDS. We also compared the highest measured viral loads within 3 months of EDS. To evaluate temporal trends in viral load, we used a robust, locally weighted, non-parametric, smoothed regression (lowess) [28].
An alternative analysis for repeated measurements of HIV-1 RNA viral load, NK cell percentage, and CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte counts was carried out using a general linear mixed-effects regression model [29]. We used a random intercept and slope (time) model such that each subject had their own parameters for baseline measurement (intercept) and rate of change (slope). The dependence structure was assumed to be exchangeable such that a common correlation between repeated observations and statistical inferences was based on robust standard errors. The infecting HIV-1 subtype variable was included as a fixed effect in the model. For NK cell percentage and CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte count, regression models were calculated from EDS to 12 months and to 24 months. For plasma viral load, the regression models were analyzed from 3 months after EDS to 12 months and to 24 months so as to avoid the effects of the non-linear early primary viremic phase. All statistical analyses were carried out using SAS version 6.12 (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina, USA) and Stata version 6 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA).
Of the 130 participants who seroconverted between September 1995 and December 1998, 103 (79%) were infected with subtype E and 27 (21%) were infected with subtype B. All persons were of Thai nationality and the demographic and behavioral characteristics were similar, irrespective of infecting subtype (Table 1). Epidemiological data suggested that transmission through needle sharing accounted for the large majority of infections with both subtype B and E and that sexual behavior was not associated with increased risk for HIV-1 seroconversion [26].
Overall, the time from the last EIA-negative specimen to the first EIA-positive specimen was similar for participants infected with either subtype B [median 119 days; interquartile (Q1–Q3) range, 116–130 days] or subtype E (median 124 days; Q1–Q3 range, 119–139) (P = 0.12). As of December 1999, the number of days of total follow-up from EDS ranged from 95 to 1556 (median 855) days for subtype B and 84 to 1511 (median 943) days for subtype E. Follow-up times did not differ significantly by subtype (P = 0.89). Viral load testing of the last seronegative specimen yielded similar proportions that were HIV-1 RNA positive; five of 27 (18.5%) subtype B and 12 of 100 (12%) subtype E specimens (P = 0.4).
Figure 1 illustrates the levels of viral RNA over time since EDS for persons infected with either subtype B or E.. Mean and median viral loads were significantly higher within 6 months of seroconversion for persons infected with subtype E than those infected with subtype B (Table 2). Even when specimens from participants who were RNA-positive on the last seronegative visit were excluded, the viral loads remained higher for subtype E within 3 months of seroconversion (P = 0.006). However, at 12, 18, and 24 months following seroconversion, the differences were not statistically significant.
To assess the possibility of differential subtype sensitivity by the Amplicor Monitor, we compared the ratios of subtype-independent virion-associated RT activity as measured by the Amp-RT assay with the Amplicor Monitor viral load at the first determination following EDS. Similar ratios of Amp-RT to Amplicor Monitor viral load [medians of 0.10 (Q1–Q3 range, 0.028–0.31) for 21 subtype B specimens and 0.095 (Q1–Q3 range, 0.024–0.38) for 85 subtype E specimens tested (Wilcoxon rank sum test, P = 0.99)] suggested no significant assay bias by subtype.
Mean and median CD4 counts were similar for infected persons regardless of subtype during the entire 24 month period following EDS (Table 3). The CD8 counts were slightly higher for persons infected with subtype E, especially during the first 3 months after EDS, but the differences were not statistically different (Table 3). The NK cell percentages were significantly lower for persons infected with subtype E than B during the first 12 months but later became less significant (Table 3).
From one of the largest and best characterized cohorts of HIV-1 seroconverters in Asia and one of the few cohorts worldwide with substantial proportions of more than one infecting HIV-1 subtype, the most notable finding was the significantly higher viral load observed during the early period following seroconversion among persons infected with subtype E compared with those infected with subtype B. Although viral RNA levels remained higher in persons infected with subtype E, the magnitude of the intersubtype difference was not statistically significant during the period from 12 to 24 months.
Observed differences in inter-subtype viral loads can be the result of a number of factors. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the likelihood of any systematic biases prior to considering causative factors. One potential bias is the possibility of variable viral quantitation assay sensitivity for different HIV-1 subtypes. However, we believe that differential assay sensitivity is unlikely to account for the inter-subtype difference for several reasons. Although earlier versions of viral load assays were primarily based on subtype B sequences from North America and Europe and were less sensitive in quantifying viral load for certain non-B subtypes such as subtype E, any differential assay sensitivity would more likely result in underestimation rather than overestimation of viral load levels in subtype E-infected persons [30,31]. Furthermore, newer versions of viral load assays such as the Amplicor Monitor version 1.5 have improved sensitivities for non-B subtypes, such that sensitivities now seem comparable for the major HIV-1 subtypes [30–32]. In addition, as the magnitude of inter-subtype viral load differences decreased over time, a time-dependent bias in assay sensitivity seems unlikely. Finally, similar ratios and distributions of Amp-RT (which measures reverse transcriptase activity independent of which subtype is present) to Amplicor Monitor for both subtypes B and E also support the absence of any significant assay bias by subtype and thus support the validity of higher early viral loads in subtype E infections.
Another potential bias that may artefactually influence measured intersubtype viral load differences would be the systematic sampling of persons infected with one subtype closer to their actual time of seroconversion than those with the other subtype. The present results show that the times between the last seronegative and first seropositive test results were very similar. Although the proportion of subtype B specimens that were RNA-positive at their last seronegative visit was slightly higher, this difference was not significant, and when those seronegative polymerase chain reaction-positive specimens were excluded, the early viral load difference between subtypes B and E persisted. In the absence of any strong systematic biases, our observed findings more likely reflect the true higher early viral load levels for persons recently infected with subtype E than with B.
In general, our viral load measurements over time were similar in magnitude or slightly higher (0.5 to 1.0 log10) than those reported from other well-controlled prospective cohort studies of seroconverters from North America or Europe [6,33–36]. However, comparisons of early viral load between studies are difficult due to differences in the seroconversion intervals. On the other hand, CD4 lymphocyte counts among seroconverters in the present study were similar or lower than those reported from earlier cohort studies [33,37]. However, evidence of lower baseline CD4 counts and higher NK cell numbers in Asian populations compared with non-Asians has been reported [38,39].
The observation that intersubtype viral load differences decrease over time in the context of similar CD4 counts in persons infected with either subtype suggest that the host immune system can respond in a similar general manner to infections with distinct HIV-1 subtypes. Nevertheless, a trend in immunologic parameters, such as the higher early CD8 counts, although not statistically significant, and the significantly lower NK cell percentages in persons infected with subtype E as compared with B, may be consistent with slight differences in the early host immune response to higher viral loads associated with subtype E [40,41].
Very few prospective studies have been conducted to specifically address the issue of differences in clinical and immunologic progression by HIV-1 subtype. Although significant differences in viral load and disease progression between HIV-1 and HIV-2 have been well documented, analogous evidence of significant inter-subtype differences is far from clear [42,43]. Not only is there relatively little information on the clinical progression of HIV-1 infection in most developing countries, where the predominant subtypes are not subtype B [42,44,45], studies of otherwise similar persons infected with different subtypes living in similar settings are limited. Although one study from West Africa reported that women infected with subtype A appeared less likely to develop AIDS at 5 years post-seroconversion than women infected with subtypes C, D, and G, this study did not report viral load comparisons [16]. A prospective study of female sex workers in northern Thailand infected primarily with HIV-1 subtype E showed similar or slightly faster progression compared with populations infected with subtype B in Western countries before highly active antiretroviral therapy was available [11]. Continued follow-up of our cohort will be useful to compare our data with other studies in Thailand [11,45] to assess potential clinical progression differences by subtype or transmission mode as well as to confirm whether higher initial viral loads in persons infected with subtype E are correlated with subsequent intersubtype differences in disease progression.
It is unclear what factors contribute to the higher observed viral loads associated with subtype E infection. Although research has shown that viral genetic variation can influence phenotypic properties such as cell-tropism, co-receptor usage, and the ability to form syncytia [46–50], these properties have generally not been associated with genetic subtype [4,49]. For example, although initial reports had suggested that isolates of HIV-1 env subtypes E infected Langerhans cells (found in the genital tract) more readily than isolates of subtype B [24], two subsequent studies failed to show any subtype-specific differences [51,52]. On the other hand, recent characterization of subtype B and E viruses from our cohort of seroconverters showed major inter-subtype differences in the proportions of different envelope V3 motifs as well as predicted co-receptor usage and phenotype from genetic sequence data [22]. In addition, reported inter-subtype differences in the function of long terminal repeat (LTR) transcriptional promoters suggest that subtype E may replicate more efficiently than subtype B in certain circumstances [53].
Although subtype-specific biologic characteristics may account for our observed viral load differences, it is possible that higher viral loads associated with subtype E may also be influenced by the dynamics of the HIV-1 epidemic among IDU in Bangkok. As subtype E was introduced more recently with a higher incidence in this population of IDU, one might predict a higher proportion of persons with recent infection and hence higher mean viremia among the reservoir of source partners infected with subtype E than with subtype B [54,55]. Indeed, our own cohort data indicate that the proportion with higher viral loads among persons infected with subtype E is greater than those with subtype B. Thus, if these recently infected persons in our study are similar to those serving as source partners, then regardless of the reasons for it, the subtype E reservoir of infection sources is richer in higher viral loads than for the subtype B reservoir. As higher viral load has been associated with not only higher rates of transmission through a variety of modes [15,56] but higher subsequent viral loads in the recipient in animal models [57,58], we hypothesize that a person infected by someone with subtype E would be more likely to have encountered someone with a higher viral load or inoculum, which in turn would result in higher initial viral loads in the seroconverter, which is consistent with our findings. Further research will be helpful in understanding the dynamics of transmission and the public health significance of inter-subtype viral load differences. In addition to providing very important information on the clinical progression among persons infected with two different HIV-1 subtypes, this study will provide useful background data within the context of an ongoing phase III HIV vaccine efficacy trial in Thailand [59].

No, netbooks are not (yet) dead! Proof, a new reference has just made its appearance in some e-tailers French. No new program this HP Compaq Presario CQ10-730SF! It is therefore the netbook platform Pine Trail cheapest market.
As you can see, the Mini CQ10-730SF loads a configuration very similar to other netbooks on the market. It differs, however, by the presence of a slab with anti-glare as well as its well-sized keyboard. Typing is so much more comfortable than other competing models. Another strong point is its design is simple.
As for its configuration, it is suitable for basic use like Office / Internet. Most videos can also be read without difficulty. Only weak point, the presence of a three-cell battery that will limit its autonomy in about three hours.

Hey there,
When you say you have a CELTA and experience, do you mean you don't have a degree? There is a massive recruitment drive on here at the mo. But I guess you do have a degree if you're going for a masters, right?
The Middle East isn't the goldmine it once was, but you do get well looked after and don't have to worry about rent etc.
If you have a degree, CELTA and experience I'm pretty sure you would find something in the UAE/Gulf.

This panel investigates the interrelationships between race and orientalism, geography (real and imagined), and performance/display in early 20th century US. The papers will tie into the 2005 American Studies Association conference theme, "Groundwork: Space and Place in American Culture" in order to consider the ways that the raced and gendered body is performed, and how space itself is embodied, often in racial/ethnic terms. The 2005 ASA conference will take place in Washington, DC on November 3-6.
I am seeking one paper to complete the panel. The other panelists will be focusing on transgressive women who performed exoticism for fame and fortune. One panelist is focusing on white American fantasies about India in the early 20th century, and their effects on race and immigration politics in the US. The other panelist will discuss the perceived differences between Chinese and Japanese identities and performance in the U.S.
Please submit abstract and CV to Jolie Sheffer (e-mail address provided below) by January 15, 2005.

Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern, personal physician Sandeep Kapoor, 41, and psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, 61, face several felony charges in the long-awaited trial that kicked off Wednesday.
In opening statements, Deputy District Attorney Renee Rose told the L.A. jury that Stern helped get drugs for Smith in illegal ways. She also alleged that Kapoor and Eroshevich "prescribed powerful and addictive medications without treating the underlying" addiction.
Kapoor, Eroshevich, and Stern each face up to five years in prison if convicted of charges, including unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance to an addict, obtaining a prescription by deceit, fraud, and conspiracy. They have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Lays Out the CaseDuring her opening statement, Rose displayed a video of Smith acting loopy and possibly drugged during a presentation at the 2004 American Music Awards. She also noted a long list of prescription drugs found in Smith's body after her death in 2007 at age 39.
Among the evidence Rose also mentioned: Drugs prescribed to "Howard K. Stearn," a misspelled version of Stern's name, and notes hidden in Kapoor's closet indicating he was going against a colleague's advice not to develop personal relationships with patients. "I was making out with Anna, my patient, blurring the lines," Kapoor allegedly wrote. "I gave her methadone, Valium. Can she ruin me?"
Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, said that encounter was the only time the two socialized, and emphasized that Kapoor was not involved in prescribing drugs during the last five months of Smith's life.
Eroshevich's attorney, meanwhile, said her client was "not a pill mill" and the drugs were legally prescribed to Smith for medical purposes.
Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, stared intently at the defendants from the back row and held hands with her husband, James. "This brings all the hurt back," Arthur said.
Attorney: Howard K. Stern Loved AnnaStern's lawyer, Steven Sadow, said his client was unaware he was breaking any laws by getting drugs for Smith under his name or made-up names. "Celebrities in Hollywood apparently use aliases like that all the time," Sadow said in his opening statement.
He added that Smith was not an addict, but merely a headstrong woman who made sure she got medications that were prescribed by legitimate doctors who struggled to cure her chronic pain.
"She was her own person, and if you wanted things a different way, she would say, 'Get your ass out,' " Sadow told the jury, adding that Stern just wanted to take care of Smith, especially after her son Daniel's death the previous year pushed her into a deep depression.
"He cared for her," said Sadow. "He cherished her. He loved her."
The trial is expected to last about three months.
