Chiffon Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Brittle
- Pie:
- One 9-inch prepared graham cracker pie crust
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch fine salt
- 1 ¼ cups cold heavy cream
- Brittle:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup toasted pecan halves, broken into peanut-size pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1. To make the pie: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the crust until warm and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water in a small cup and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, sugar, egg yolks, spice, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Whisk the gelatin mixture into the saucepan with pumpkin mixture until combined and the gelatin is dissolved completely. Let sit at room temperature, stirring frequently, until it is cool but not set, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
4. Beat ¾ cup of the cream in a large bowl until semi-stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled pumpkin mixture, folding just until combined. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the filling and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours or overnight.
5. For the brittle: Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Have a candy thermometer, a bowl of water and a pastry brush ready.
6. Put the sugar and ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring, allowing the water to evaporate as the sugar begins to melt. Dip the pastry brush in the bowl of water and brush down the sides of the pan if any sugar crystals begin to form around the edges. When the sugar turns a deep caramel color and registers 300°F. on the candy thermometer, about 15 minutes, pick up pan and gently swirl to melt any sugar that hasn't dissolved. Carefully pour the melted sugar onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as much as possible. Immediately sprinkle the toasted pecan pieces and salt evenly over the top and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
7. Beat the remaining ½ cup cream in a until stiff peaks form. Spread the cream over the top of the pie. Break up the brittle into shards and put them into the whipped cream; slice the pie and serve with more brittle.

How Bookmakers Make Money
Sports Betting is the process in which a person known as bookie or bookmaker accepts the bets from other persons on particular sport and if the particular bet is the winning bet, then the money is paid out to the winner. The higher the odds of winning the more money you can win. Similarly if the odds of winnings are low then you can win very small amount of money. But if the odds of winnings are high then it is most likely that you would not be able to…read more

Research efforts to develop topical microbicides for intravaginal use for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV have been ongoing for over a decade. In the past year an estimated 4.3 million people became newly infected with HIV. Women now represent almost half of all adults living with HIV/AIDS. The need for a female controlled STI preventive product is well understood. Preclinical safety and efficacy testing of topical microbicide products must be performed prior to human use to assess the product's effects on the vaginal ecosystem and to assess potential anti-HIV activity. We have developed a useful model to evaluate the safety of topical microbicide products after vaginal use in the pigtailed macaque. We have used this model to study the effects of single and repeated applications of microbicides on vaginal microflora and epithelium. We have conducted preclinical safety and pharmacokinetic studies of vaginal gel formulations containing UC781 ( 1% and 0.1%) and tenofovir (1%) in this macaque model. In addition, we have the ability to image (MRI) product dispersal and transport in the female reproductive tract. In this proposed cooperative agreement, a novel delivery system for topical microbicides, vaginal films, will be compared to vaginal gel formulations. We will use our macaque model to assess safety, dispersal and pharmacokinetic characteristics of various film formulations containing UC781 and/or tenofovir, and compare these findings to those compiled for gel formulations. Finally, we will assess the efficacy of each of the developed film products using a macaque model for RT-SHIV infection. These studies will in part guide the optimization of a combination topical microbicide delivery system.
An effective topical microbicide product is desperately needed to mitigate the ongoing HIV pandemic. These macaque studies will provide data integral to the optimization of product safety, delivery and efficacy, with an end goal of providing a combination topical microbicide product poised for advancement to clinical trials.

Tyrolit North America Inc., Westboro, MA, plans to cease production May 31 of its vitrified and bonded abrasives at its Westboro plant, formerly the Bay State Abrasives plant, according to an article in the Worcester Telegram. The company will focus on manufacturing superabrasives at this location, retaining about 30 employees of the current 200 workers at the plant. Tyrolit bought Bay State/Sterling in 1997 from Bay State's former general manager, Bernie Phaneuf, who had purchased the company out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in 1994.

Received December 10, 2013

Background: We conducted this study to assess the immunologic effect of daily 20 mg zinc supplementation for 24 weeks in HIV-infected children older than 6 months receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Methods: Fifty-two HIV-infected children older than 6 months in whom ART was initiated were randomized to receive either 20 mg of zinc or placebo for a period of 24 weeks. Children underwent clinical examination, anthropometry, and laboratory evaluations: CD4% and count, viral load, and serum zinc level at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. The primary outcome evaluated was CD4% value at the end of 12 and 24 weeks of study intervention in the enrolled children.
Results: Of 52 children enrolled, 49 completed the study. The median CD4% value rose from 10% to 23% at 12 weeks and to 24.5% at 24 weeks in the zinc group, whereas in the placebo group, the value rose from 11% to 20% at 12 weeks and to 22% at 24 weeks (P = 0.188 for comparison between the zinc and the placebo group at 12 wk and P = 0.3 for comparison at 24 wk). The median (interquartile range) log reductions in the viral load at 12 weeks in the 2 arms were similar at 12 (P = 0.84) and 24 weeks (P = 0.43).
Conclusions: Supplementation of 20 mg zinc daily for 24 weeks did not have any statistically significant effect on the increase in CD4%, decrease in viral load, anthropometric indices, and morbidity profile in HIV-infected children started on ART.
Availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the survival and quality of life in HIV-infected individuals, including children in resource-limited settings. However, after highly active ART (HAART), viral suppression is not always accompanied by complete immune reconstitution.1 Immune recovery is frequently slow and incomplete with an initial increase in memory CD4 cells followed by an increase in naive CD4 cells.2 In a Thai study,3 which documented the safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor–based regimens as first-line HAART in treatment-naive children with advanced stage HIV infection from a resource-limited setting, it took longer for children to achieve viral suppression (of the 81 children who attained virological success at week 72 in the study, only 57 did so by week 24). In the 2NN study,4 most of the virological successes were achieved by week 24. The higher baseline virus loads in children, compared with adults, might explain this difference. Besides higher viral load in children, the relationship between viral suppression with HAART and immune recovery is dynamic and complex and involves multiple factors,5 of which nutritional status is believed to play a pivotal role.
Zinc has many effects on the immune system,6,7 but few have been observed in HIV-infected individuals. Micronutrient malnutrition has been shown to be associated with more frequent opportunistic infections, faster disease progression, and a greater incidence of HIV-related mortality8–11 and, thus, a worsening of clinical condition among HIV-infected children. Zinc may also help by reducing the occurrence of infectious/opportunistic infections12; many of these infections enhance viral replication. These effects of zinc may facilitate faster immunologic response in HIV-infected children administered HAART. Zinc supplementation has been shown in vitro to improve the lymphoproliferative responses and reduce the percentage of apoptotic cells.13
Zinc deficiency is common in Indian children.14 Various studies in HIV-infected children have documented high prevalence of zinc deficiency.15–17
The safety of zinc supplementation has been established in HIV-infected children18; however, these children were not receiving HAART. There was no increase in viral load with zinc supplementation; children receiving zinc had a reduction in morbidity caused by diarrhea.18
There have been a few studies in children evaluating the influence of zinc on outcomes in HIV-infected children.19,20 Although there are trials supporting beneficial effects of micronutrient supplementation in adults, the data in pediatric age group are scarce.21,22
Long-term zinc supplementation has been shown to delay immunologic failure and decrease diarrhea over time in HIV-infected adults supporting the use of zinc supplementation as an adjunct therapy for HIV-infected adults with poor viral control.23
Despite the potential that zinc may improve immune functioning, its impact as an adjunct to antiretroviral treatment of HIV disease has not been evaluated in children. We evaluated the effect of zinc supplementation on helper T cell (CD4) count in HIV-infected children who were started on ART.
We conducted this study to assess the immunologic effect of daily 20 mg zinc supplementation for 24 weeks in HIV-infected children older than 6 months receiving HAART.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India, over a 3-year period from November 2009 to October 2012. The study was initiated after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institute's Ethics Committee. The children were enrolled after obtaining written informed consent from the parent/guardian. The trial was registered with Clinical Trials Registry, India (CTRI/2009/091/000971).
All HIV-1–infected children older than 6 months in whom initiation of ART was indicated as per the guidelines were eligible for the study.24 Children receiving zinc supplementation at the time of screening for enrollment, those with clinical evidence of zinc deficiency, and sick children with concurrent other infections, including pneumonia, diarrhea, or tuberculosis (TB), were excluded.
HIV-infected children are followed up in a specialty clinic at our hospital. The diagnosis of HIV-1 infection in children was confirmed as recommended in the national guidelines; antibody tests were used for children older than 18 months, whereas for younger children, HIV-DNA polymerase chain reaction was used.24 All HIV-infected children undergo a baseline evaluation that includes the following: clinical evaluation, complete blood counts, renal and liver function tests, chest radiograph, Mantoux test, CD4 count/CD4%, and other investigations as indicated.
Based on the available guidelines, children were screened for need of ART. ART was indicated if the child had a World Health Organization (WHO) stage 3 or 4 condition and/or evidence of severe immune suppression (based on CD4 count or CD4%).24 HIV-infected children in whom ART was indicated were eligible for the study.
The children underwent a clinical examination and anthropometry. These children were sampled for a CD4%, baseline HIV viral load, and serum zinc level.
These children were prescribed the first-line ART as per the guidelines issued by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO).24 Fixed-dose combination of 3 antiretroviral drugs was used as recommended in NACO guidelines.24 The concurrent illnesses were managed as per the NACO guidelines.24
Children were randomized as per a computer-generated randomization list in a variable block size. The randomization was done using the statistical software STATA version 9.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX) by an individual not involved in the study. Two strata based on the weight for height "z" score were made. Children who had a weight for height/length "z" score value greater than equal to −3 [body mass index (BMI) "z" score greater than equal to −3 in children with height greater than 110 cm; this modification was done as the weight for height/length "z" scores could not be calculated for these children] were included in stratum 1, whereas those with a value less than −3 (BMI "z" score less than −3 in children with height greater than 110 cm) were in stratum 2.
We procured identical blister packs that contained dispersible tablets with or without zinc sulfate (20 mg of elemental zinc; Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation Limited, a Government of India Undertaking, Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India); the company had no role in the study design, conduct, or analysis of data. Each blister pack of 10 tablets had been labeled with a unique serial number according to the randomization list, which was not available to any of the investigators until all the data had been collected and entered. We maintained masking during data analysis by coding treatment allocation with 2 letters.
Children were randomized to receive either 20 mg of elemental zinc as sulfate or a similar appearing and tasting preparation of placebo, daily for 24 weeks. Both groups received 1 recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of multivitamins everyday for 24 weeks. The child's parents/guardians are instructed to administer the study drug once a day.
Children were followed up every 4 weeks for evaluation and supply of intervention. At each 4 weekly visit, the adherence to study medications and to ART was assessed by interview and examining the blister packs (pill count). Home visits by a social worker were used to ensure adherence.
Children were followed up every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. At each visit, the following evaluation was conducted—clinical evaluation: detailed history regarding any concurrent illnesses, infections, physical examination, and anthropometry; laboratory evaluation: viral load, CD4%, and zinc levels were estimated again at 12 and 24 weeks. In addition, additional investigations were performed as indicated by the clinical evaluation.
The primary outcome evaluated was CD4% value at the end of 12 and 24 weeks of study intervention in the enrolled children.
The secondary outcomes that were studied included the following: change in the viral load from baseline at the end of 12 and 24 weeks of study intervention; change in anthropometric parameters: weight for age "z" score and height for age "z" score; and episodes of infectious illnesses in the study period.
CD4% and count were enumerated on blood collected in EDTA by whole-blood lysis method along with 2-color flow cytometry using staining with fluorescent tagged antibodies to CD3 and CD4, on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson).25
CD4% and count were enumerated on blood collected in EDTA by whole-blood lysis method along with 2-color flow cytometry using staining with fluorescent tagged antibodies to CD3 and CD4, on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ). The assays were performed within a few hours of sample collection by dedicated study personnel.
RNA was extracted from plasma, and viral load was quantified using the Amplicor HIV RNA viral load kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and Cobas Taqman HIV Test.
Zinc levels in serum were estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The elemental zinc in the sample was dissociated from its chemical bonds and placed in unexcited, unionized neutral atoms' ground state. This was passed through band path width between 0.001 and 0.01 nm. The source of radiations was the hollow cathode lamp of the element. The amount of absorption of radiation is directly proportional to the amount of free radicals in the sample. Chemical standard from Merck Co. (Darmstadt, Germany) was used to plot the calibration curve, and international serum control (SERO A/S, Billingstad, Norway) was used with intermittent indoor control pool serum.26
With HAART alone, the CD4% values at the end of 3 months therapy have been reported to be 15% ± 5%.27 With the intervention (addition of zinc to HAART), we expected a mean increase of 5% points over the control arm (placebo + HAART). A sample size of 25 is required for each arm to detect this difference with an alpha of 0.05, power of 90%, and accounting for 10% loss to follow-up.
Data were collected on pretested structured case report forms by research staff and cross-checked. Data were managed on Microsoft Access. Double data entry was performed and the discrepancies resolved.
Statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 9.0 (StataCorp). The 2 groups (ART + placebo vs ART + zinc) were compared for changes in CD4% values over the 24-week study period. The change in viral load was evaluated. The change in anthropometry was compared; "z" scores were calculated using WHO Anthro and AnthroPlus softwares (Department of Nutrition, WHO, Geneva, Switzerland). We also compared the episodes of infectious illnesses in the 24-week study period. The change in plasma zinc levels was compared in the 2 groups. Continuous variables are presented as mean (SD) when data were normally distributed; otherwise, median (interquartile range) was used. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to assess statistical significance of the differences in primary outcomes. For comparing normally distributed data, "t" test was used.
Eighty-three HIV-infected children were screened (Fig. 1). After 31 exclusions, 52 children were enrolled in the study. The major reasons for exclusion were TB in 12 patients, orphan children living in a care home n = 8, and refusal of consent. One child died in each group, and 1 child's parents withdrew consent (placebo arm).
The mean age of children randomized to zinc group and the placebo group was 80.4 and 86.6 months (Table 1). There was only one child younger than 18 months enrolled in the study.
The anthropometric indices were comparable in the 2 groups. Of the 52 children, 48 were randomized in stratum 1 (weight for height/length or BMI "z" score value ≥ −3). The clinical stages of the children were comparable in the 2 groups. Children who had WHO clinical stages 1 and 2 were started on ART based on their CD4% values.
The median CD4% values in the 2 groups were comparable, being 10% and 11%, respectively.
The enrolled children had high viral loads; the children in zinc group had median viral load value of 174,000 copies per milliliter as compared with 86,900 copies per milliliter in the placebo group. The baseline median serum zinc values in the zinc and placebo groups were 35.45 and 44.08 μg/dL, respectively.
Most of the children were started on a stavudine-based ART as per the available guidelines from the NACO24; 23 and 19 children received stavudine + lamivudine + nevirapine in the zinc and placebo groups, respectively, whereas the rest received zidovudine + lamivudine + nevirapine.
Children received the study medications (zinc or placebo) in addition to the ART. The adherence to the ART was 97% in both groups, whereas it was 98% for the study medications.
The serum zinc values on follow-up were significantly higher than the baseline values. Although the median serum zinc values were higher in the zinc group as compared with the placebo arm at follow-up at 12 and 24 weeks, the differences were not statistically significant (Table 2).
The median CD4% value rose from 10% to 23% at 12 weeks and to 24.5% at 24 weeks in the zinc group, whereas in the placebo group, the value rose from 11% to 20% at 12 weeks and to 22% at 24 weeks. There was a trend toward a higher increase in the zinc group (Table 3).
The median viral loads at 12 and 24 weeks in the 2 groups were comparable. The baseline viral load was higher in the zinc group as compared with the placebo group (Table 4).
The log reduction in the viral load at 12 and 24 weeks was marginally higher in the zinc group as compared with the placebo group; the difference was not significant. Similarly, the numbers of children with viral load ≤47 copies per milliliter at 12 and 24 weeks in the 2 groups were similar.
The anthropometric indices at 12 and 24 weeks were comparable in the 2 groups except for the weight for height "z" score at 24 weeks, which was higher in the placebo arm; this, however, has to be viewed in context of the initially higher "z" score in the children receiving placebo (Table 5).
We compared the median number of febrile episodes, acute respiratory infection episodes, diarrheal episodes, and hospitalization in the 2 groups over 12 and 24 weeks follow-up (Table 6).
Two children died, one in each group. One died within a week of enrollment because of a lower respiratory tract infection (possibly swine origin influenza); the other 4 months after the enrollment because of central nervous system TB (the child was diagnosed as having pulmonary TB in the third month after starting ART). No adverse events of zinc were observed in the study subjects.
We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of zinc (20 mg) administered daily for 24 weeks on immunologic parameters in HIV-infected children newly started on ART. Children had a high viral load at initiation of HAART. There was a significant increase in serum zinc values in both the zinc and placebo groups; the rise was higher in the zinc group.
Although there was a trend toward a higher CD4% value at 12 and 24 weeks in the zinc group, the differences were not statistically significant. A sample size of 59 patients per arm would be needed to estimate a statistically significant difference in CD4% of 3%. Similarly, the changes in the viral load were comparable in the 2 groups at 12 and 24 weeks. The anthropometric indices improved marginally in the 2 groups. The morbidity pattern was also comparable in the 2 groups.
There are no similar studies reported earlier. In an observational study, a higher pre-HAART zinc level was associated with a greater increase in CD4% at 48 weeks.19 However, in a randomized controlled trial in 847 Ugandan children (HAART: n = 85) aged 1–5 years, twice the RDA of 14 micronutrients (including 10 mg of zinc) compared with a standard RDA of 6 multivitamins for 6 months did not significantly affect mortality, growth, or CD4 counts.20 In this study, only 10% of children were receiving ART.
Zinc supplementation has been shown to delay immunologic failure in HIV-infected adults.23 The investigators used 12 mg zinc in women and 15 mg in men for 18 months; 62.3% of the subjects were receiving ART.23 The mean serum zinc level in the study subjects was 60 μg/dL, which was higher than that in our study subjects. At the end of the trial, participants who received zinc supplements had significantly higher plasma zinc levels over time (P = 0.047) than those received placebo, after controlling for high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) at baseline and over time. However, in our study, this difference in the zinc levels in the 2 groups did not reach statistical significance.
The available systematic reviews supporting beneficial effects of micronutrient supplementation in HIV-infected adults and the data in pediatric age group are scarce.21,22
The potential reasons for the absence of a statistically significant difference in CD4% in the 2 groups could be the following. The sample size was low to detect the difference; we calculated the sample size on the basis of a clinically relevant difference in CD4%. Serum zinc levels improved in the placebo arm also; this may have been because of improved nutritional status with ART and improvement in the gut absorption of zinc. Similar phenomenon of increase in the zinc levels in individuals receiving placebo has been observed in studies with long-term supplementation of zinc in conditions like TB.28 Most of the children had low serum zinc levels at baseline; therefore, the dose of zinc administered may not have been enough to have an impact on the CD4% levels even though we used a dose of 20 mg/d, which is higher than that used in prior studies in adults.
The study has some limitations. The sample size was low to detect the significance of the differences in rise of CD4%; for the expected difference of 3%, we would need a sample size of 118 (59 per arm) and for 2.5% a sample size of 170 (85 per arm); however, the difference of 5% or more is likely to be meaningful. There is no consensus on the dose of zinc supplementation; we used a uniform dose across age groups. The dose used by us is comparable with that used in studies in adults. We did not study the long-term effects of zinc supplementation; study in adults with zinc supplementation for 18 months has shown to affect immunologic failure.23 Majority of the children in the study received stavudine-based regimen, as was recommended in the national program. Stavudine is associated with lipoatrophy; however, the same typically occurs after 12 months of therapy.29,30
We conclude that supplementation of 20 mg zinc daily for 24 weeks did not have any statistically significant effect on the increase in CD4%, decrease in viral load, anthropometric indices, and morbidity profile at 12 and 24 weeks in HIV-infected children started on ART. It is likely that zinc deficiency in the study subjects affected the results. It may be worthwhile to explore the effects of different doses of zinc in children categorized on the basis of zinc status in a larger study.
The authors thank the Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation Limited, a Government of India Undertaking, Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, for supplying the zinc and placebo tablets.

Michigan State (26-8) is the standard-bearer for the Big Ten nearly every year.
Head coach Tom Izzo wouldn't have it any other way. However, the 2013-14 season has not gone the way the Spartans' legendary coach (one NCAA championship and six Final Four appearances) would have scripted it. Michigan State entered the Big Ten tournament with a 6-7 record in its previous 13 games and looking...well...ordinary.
Michigan State certainly had a recovery in the conference tournament, as it defeated archrival Michigan in the final, but does that mean the Spartans are ready for a long run in the NCAA tournament?
Here's the formula the fourth-seeded Spartans will have to follow from the East bracket. They face the 13th-seeded Delaware Blue Hens (25-9) in the first round, and they will try to string together six NCAA tournament victories to add to Izzo's legacy.

Two Arizona men flew to the Bay Area for a brief stay in March 2012 and, while here, burglarized an unoccupied Woodside home of jewelry with an estimated value of $30,000 to $50,000, prosecutors said.
"The defendants had flown to (the) Bay Area from Arizona to burglarize residences and somehow found the victims' home," District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said in a report.
A video recording from a neighbor's surveillance camera shows the two men pulling up in front of the victims' home in a rental car and emerging from the car, prosecutors said. One man walked up to the home while the other stayed behind to hide the car's license plate number, but not before the surveillance camera sees it, prosecutors said.
The investigation led detectives to the defendants' home in Glendale, Arizona, where they acquired a search warrant and allegedly found jewelry matching descriptions of the jewelry stolen from the Woodside home, prosecutors said.
The men were arraigned in March 2014 and the case is set to go to a jury trial at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 22.

Julio Cesar's future is again in doubt after Fiorentina insisted they had made no move for the QPR goalkeeper.
The Brazilian international is available for transfer after QPR were relegated from the Premiership at the end of last season.
After previous links with Roma and Napoli, the former Inter man was reportedly set for a switch to Tuscany.
"I've never contacted QPR for Julio Cesar or his agent," Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade told Sky Sport Italia. "I therefore deny the stories in the newspapers."
The former Roma official was said to have already agreed a €3m fee with the London club for the South American.
All that was supposedly left to do was reach a compromise with the almost 34-year-old over personal terms.
Keep up to date with the latest news and action from Spain's Primera Division with Football Espana - from the team behind Football Italia.

Last week, I noted that Primus (PRS) announced a fairly significant "credit mitigation" transaction, which clipped the tail risk on about $1.2 billion in notional CDS. Because Primus discloses such events and credit losses as they occur, and the company not writing new CDS business, non-GAAP earnings aren't really a surprise – economic results of $47.5 million came from CDS premiums (no credit events in Q2) and a repurchase of debt at a large discount.
The most interesting development is that Primus is now using its float – over $730 million at quarter's end – to invest in investment grade corporates. On the conference call, CFO Richard Claiden said that $20 million of holding company capital was now allocated this way, and subsequently Primus Financial has started doing the same. In the second quarter, Primus' interest income from short-duration risk-free assets was a mere 0.61%. With the iShares iBoxx Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:LQD) yielding 5.59%, there's plenty of room for improvement in the yield on that capital (which is about 5.6x Primus' current market cap). My valuation model ballparks a 100 basis point improvement in yield over the duration of Primus' current swap portfolio as being worth 58 cents per share in terminal value. There's value to be captured here, and investing in investment grade corporates is a natural way to leverage Primus' credit evaluation abilities.
Although low interest rates hurt the investment yield, it also resulted in Primus paying just 3.71% on its debt and preferred securities – roughly equal to the yield on 10-year Treasuries. The debt structure offers cheap financing, is long-term in duration, and is capped should rates rise in the future. In other words, taking financing when it available on favorable terms proved to be a good move, and now gives the company plenty of optionality as it runs off the CDS portfolio.
There was $63 million in capital outside Primus Financial at the end of Q2 (CypressTree acquisition not counted yet), and the holding company debt (NYSE:PRD) now trades with a $14 handle. Repurchases of both debt and stock have slowed, as the prices have risen dramatically and Primus has re-oriented its capital allocation toward building out asset management. Also discussed was a collateralized CDS seller, but that remains in its early test stages (roughly six months) and has hardly seen a full market cycle, as spreads have been consistently narrowing during that time – see below.
Investment Grade CDX:
High Yield CDX (less applicable to Primus, but still noteworthy):
The real question for Primus - one that backwards looking metrics like credit events don't capture - is where in the credit loss cycle we are. There were 15 corporate defaults in Q1, and 13 in Q2; does that constitute a deceleration, or merely a pause before the next leg up? With the current public policy doing everything possible to play for time, I believe a long slog to debt rationalization will take place. Ultimately, that's good for Primus, as it gives more time for CDS to run-off and interest to be earned on premiums, even if it isn't good for the economy as a whole. My long moral hazard trade continues…
Primus Guaranty Q2 2009 Conference Call Transcript
Disclosure: I own both Primus debt (PRD) and stock (PRS).

Community Health, Mercury General, Talbots: U.S. Equity Movers
Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in U.S. trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 4 p.m. in New York.

Hex is roughly the band's 666th release. The group manages to be prolific by spending little time on mixing. Of course, the basement sound quality only enhances the album's dungeon ambience.
Bassist Don of the Dead also sings. As far as death metal's Cookie Monster vocals go, his growl is palatable. He annunciates his lyrics, making it clear what kind of unholy mischief he's up to. Then again, with song titles like "I Hate Christians," intelligible lyrics aren't necessary.
Even more welcome is the lack of guitar wankery. The band's flayed punk backbone means it's not the same old death. From content to style, it's more hardcore.

Welcome back to Season 5 of TNT's The Closer, starring my friend, my collaborator and my partner-in-crime, the always amazing Kyra Sedgwick. Also back...
Ah, well, that would give away some mysteries prematurely. Regular viewers might recall that Irene Daniels and David Gabriel both applied for the same promotion to the Criminal Intelligence Division of the LAPD. One of them succeeded; one of them stayed in Major Crimes. Who did what will become immediately obvious, but we will not remark on this during our premiere. Fallout will ensue in succeeding episodes.
Meanwhile, there is a mystery to solve. A family of four is shot to death during breakfast while the father, rather conveniently, was at work. Did he just miss being a victim himself? Or did he have a secret?
Speaking of secrets, Lt. Provenza has a personal meltdown at work (though he doesn't offer much in the way of explanation), a detective from LAPD's Narcotics Division doesn't want to reveal what connects his case to Brenda's murders, and what's up with Kitty? Is she pregnant again? Or is it something worse?
Finally, chocolate has always been extremely important to Brenda, but never more than in this episode. This time, however, she's not eating it.
This will be a difficult year for Brenda. She will face kidnappers, Internal Affairs investigations, two patrol officers shot to death in their black-and-white, a niece who's dangerously out of control and an El Paso homicide detective hunting a serial killer. Plus, Provenza falls in love. Pope falls for an imposter. And Tao almost falls for a false confession. Or did he? We'll discuss these stories at length as they approach.
This is the place in the blog where I usually detail what we've all been doing while off the air.
Not this year.
During our country's gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression - which has, in one way or another, touched us all - it seems oddly out of place to report on our personal lives except to say we are all very grateful to be picked up for another two years, and hope to use that time entertaining and diverting our audience from the ever more difficult mysteries of everyday life.
Thanks for inviting us into your homes every Monday night of the summer, and may September bring us and our country better news and better opportunities. And good wishes, too, from my partners, Mike Robin, Greer Shephard, Rick Wallace, Andy Sacks and all the cast and crew of The Closer, who (more than ever) feel lucky to be a small part of your lives.

Funds of Hedge Funds
Permal develops its customisation theme
Specialised services are a top priority for Permal in its bid to be innovative and stay ahead
By Claire Makin
Giant fund of funds manager Permal Group has barely paused for breath this year. So far, the $20 billion company has launched five new funds, developed a state-of-the-art risk system, and made several high profile hires.
Isaac Souede
A common theme runs through these developments. It is the need to offer increasingly specialised services to clients. "The fund of funds industry is no longer monolithic. It is very much custom-tailored," says Isaac Souede, Permal's New York-based chairman and chief executive, who has been a driving force behind the company for 23 years.

After a good lengthy phone conversation with June Nash, whom I wasn't able to visit today, back pain in the mornings, and this afternoon someone is visiting her. So the day was with Edith which was lovely. We got the 157 bus to Church Street, then the tram to Wimbledon. The Croydon tramway service has been ...
A walk in the park
It was such a fine day that Carmen, Sebastian, Robyn and I went for a big walk. We took the tram to Beckenham and then visited their wonderful park.
Had lunch in the sun, and I must say that we have seldom, if ever, seen so many young children and their carers in one ...
Day Four New York, New York
... went to applebys instead and had cocktails - much better idea - and then headed to the Majestic Theatre and then got inside to our seats - we were SO lucky! We were at the front on the aisle, so had no one directly in front of us so had amazing views! And it was fantastic - I loved it when I saw it on the west end, but this was equally good, though it was a slightly different story/different scenes every now and then! I also think they had a bit of a mishap ...
We Have a Home!!!
... a large (for London) outdoor patio area overlooking some houses and a park which we will make use of. If anyone is planning a visit I suggest you bring a tent, as that is probably the only place you'll fit!! :-)
We looked around Wimbledon a bit more, and decided we would ask to transfer stations there as we like it so much. We headed home, and cooked ourselves some dinner. Looking forward to the Lion King tomorrow!
The Week of Epicness
My housemate & I ventured out on a pub crawl in Soho. We visited 3.5 before heading home. The pubs were small, big, some only served half pints, and some only served alcohol. Others had a history with journalists, while another was influenced by the French. And some even appeared in TimeOut's top London pub's the very next day!

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hi all,
Well I am having a strange problem.Everything is working perfectly for me in the local machine with xampp and apache server having windows as operating system. But when I upload the same thing to the server which is linux
based, the template file from where reading will take place is not happening. I have provided the correct absolute path.I even have checked whether file exists or not, it is showing that file exists there.But don't know why it's not reading.
Showing some error as :- Class 'PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5_Escher' not found in /...some path../PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Reader/Excel5.php on line 618
I m using PHP version 5.2.9 and PHP Excel version 1.7.3.
The way the file path is given is like this :-
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($docRoot.'/folder_path/file_name.xls');
$docRoot is for absolute path.
As far as i am concern there is no problem with path.But don't know why it's not reading this.I have tried the other methods allso like:-
$objReader = new PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5();
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($docRoot.'/folder_path/file_name.xls');
but this also doesn't work.
Any body out there please help.I am in a real spot of bother here.
For some reason, the autoloader is failing to load the PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5_Escher, which should be in /var/www/vhosts/vrmtest.net/web_users/amit/pfizerCRS/pfizer_crash_mis/PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Reader/Excel5/Escher.php.
Can you show any code for setting the include path, and including the PHPExcel library.

Can you show any code for setting the include path, and including the PHPExcel library.
Here it goes
set_include_path($docRoot. '/folder name/PHPExcel/Classes/');
// Include PHPExcel
include $docRoot.'/folder name/PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel.php';
// Include IOFactory
include $docRoot.'/folder name/PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
// Create new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
Hi Mark the error coming in PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Reader/Excel5.php is like this:-
if (!$this->_readDataOnly && $this->_drawingGroupData) {
$escherWorkbook = new PHPExcel_Shared_Escher();
$reader = new PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5_Escher($escherWorkbook); //----ERROR LINE---
$escherWorkbook = $reader->load($this->_drawingGroupData);
Can you please have a check why this line is showing the error??
As I said before, that line will show that error if the autoloader fails to load the PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5_Escher file. What I can't explain is why the autoloader is failing to work. Normally, that will only happen if there is some other framework or library
involved in your application that has it's own autoloader that clashes with PHPExcel's autoloader.
Thanks Mark for ur reply again.
Well It seems like there was some path problem.lAnd it is all set now. Everything is working normal.
Thanks for your feedbacks.It was a real help.
Thanks again,
Glad you were able to resolve this

There's little not to like about the Proporta gadget Bag… When you also add the Mobile Device Charger into the mix you're getting two travelling companions no casual holiday maker or road warrior should be without. Excellent package.

the Proporta Gadget bag overall worked very well for me, providing a semblance of order for my various devices. It does offer a number of combinations to suit a user's needs, and can be very handy keeping similar gadgets grouped together so one need not scramble about the office looking for them. After all, my laptop has a case where I can stow it and its related peripherals all together, so why not have something for my mobile gadgets too? Proporta's Gadget Bag fills this niche nicely.

I received the Proporta Gadget Bag a while back, and have been using it quite regularly for toting around my growing PC repair kit. It's a sturdy multi part bag with a shell made of Cordura, a scuff resistant, tear resistant, abrasion resistant, and waterproof nylon fabric. It has held up well, and shows no dirt or abrasions to date

An HD home cinema system is only as good as the Blu-ray movie you're watching. Let's face it – while Driving Miss Daisy might be a good film, it's not the best thing to show off your state-of-the-art surround sound system with, is it? Whether you're a serious audiophile or just want your system to sound its best, you need a movie soundtrack with plenty of 'oomph' behind it. On the other hand, aural light-and-shade is also very important – the best sounding Blu-ray movies aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest explosions!
Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X10 smartphone, the company's first handset to run Google's Android operating system, was announced well before Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. However, for many people MWC was the first chance to get some one on one time with the phone.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This review is from: ASUS PA248Q Black 24.1" 6ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 80,000,000:1, IPS Panel, Height pivot swivel adjustable
Pros: The viewing angle is a 178* and its a true 178*
Cons: nothing
Other Thoughts: I have been searching for a monitor in the sub $400 range for a couple of years. I wanted something that was just above the $300 range since I had to purchase 9 monitors. I went from HP to NEC which all said 178* viewing angle and was disappointed every time. I knew i could get these great monitors for $600 and up but since the monitor is not a critical viewing device like the Sony PVM productions monitors it wasn't worth sending them back. Now I found this monitor and this is all I'm using from now on.READ FULL REVIEW
