Oklahoma's "Five Indian Ballerinas"
There is a lovely article in The Oklahoman on Sunday, Nov 28, 2010 entitled "State's 5 Indian ballerinas turn out graceful heritage." There is good information about all five of these remarkable women - Moscelyne Larkin, Marjorie Tallchief, Maria Tallchief, Rosella Hightower and Yvonne Chouteau - in the article but EVEN BETTER is the additional pictures and video at The Oklahoman's archival webpage. Check it out at ndepth.newsok.com/five-indian-ballerinas.
These five Oklahomans are depicted in the State Capitol *(see image of mural above) and were declared "Oklahoma's Treasures" by former Governor Frank Keating in 1997.

Oklahoma Champions for Early Opportunity (OKCEO) Push for early Childhood Education
Last Wednesday, Oklahoma leaders from across Oklahoma met at the Governor's Mansion to launch "Oklahoma Champions for early Opportunity" or OK-CEO. They pledged to spend the next year promoting projects that will better prepare Oklahoma infants and toddlers for school. First Lady Kim Henry kicked off the event which was organized by the Potts Family Foundation, Smart Start Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Business Roundtable.
"If we invest in early childhood we can improve our economic climate in Oklahoma and we won't loose as many people as we do to remediation and incarceration," said Pat Potts, Potts Family Foundation President, pictured here with her husband Ray Potts.
The photo is from The Oklahoman article about the event and the quote is from the KSBI blog post which also features a video clip.

OCU Grads Angela Monson, Martha Peixotto-Smith, Ekaterina Marsakova Zoubkova Honored
Oklahoma City University's Alumni Association will honor several special alum this weekend including Angela Monson, Martha Pelxotto-Smith, Ekaterina Marsakova Zoubkova. Here is what OCU says about these extraordinary women:
Source. http://www.okcu.edu/news/?id=4721
Monson, '76, was elected chair of the Oklahoma City School Board last year. She has been engaged in activities related to health care policy for 28 years and currently serves as associate provost for the Office of Community Partnerships and Health Policy at the Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center. She also serves as an adjunct associate professor in the department of family and preventive medicine. She is a member of the OU Medical Center Board of Trustees and of the Oklahoma City/County Board of Health. Monson was a member of the Oklahoma State Senate from 1993 until November 2005 and of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from November 1990 until her election to the Senate. She was the primary sponsor or co-sponsor for much of the legislation pertaining to health care coverage, financing and delivery systems in Oklahoma and was one of the chief architects of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, the state's Medicaid Agency. As a community activist, Monson has worked with elementary schools, churches and other community organizations providing technical support and assistance to many after-school programs and other related initiatives.
Peixotto-Smith, '06, earned her Masters in Nursing Degree from OCU's Kramer School of nursing. She is retired as director of emergency services, outpatient services and the transplant program at St. Anthony Hospital. Peixotto-Smith also served on the Governors Council for trauma Legislation and Emergency Preparedness. She continues to serve on the Oklahoma State board of Health Traumatic Brain Injury Council and outreach programs,such as the largest feeding program in Tulsa with trinity Episcopal Parish. Peixotto-Smith teaches part-time for Oklahoma City University. She said herlife has been enriched by attending OCU, not only helping her re-tool from an acute-care nurse to a nurse educator, but also pointing her to serve in the science and art of nursing wherever she is called.
Zoubkova, '95, learned about OCU through St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. A native of Ulyanovsk, Russia, she transferred to OCU in 1994 and decided to become a pastor. After graduating from OCU, Zoubkova attended the Saint Paul School of Theology in Kansas City and then returned to Russia to begin serving a church in Pervouralsk, Siberia. Her husband's job later took her to Tyumen, Siberia, where there was no United Methodist Church so Zoubkova became a social worker and started a local church. Today, she serves as pastor of the Tyumen United Methodist Church of the Salvation and is the only female pastor in the region. Her church is involved in humanitarian aid to former orphans now in prison and to orphans in Usalka and Uspenka. She also conducts a prison ministry prisoners and guards.Congratulations!

"Muscogee Daughter"
Susan Supernaw was Miss Oklahoma of 1971 and wrote a book about her experience - "Muscogee Daughter: My Sojourn to the Miss American Pageant" - a decade ago. Her book manuscript received the Native Writers' "Circle of the Americas Award" in 2003 but the book took a while to get published. Now University of Nebraska Press has published this fascinating tale. I am eager to read it and add it to my Oklahoma Women library! You can read Betty Lytle's book review in The Oklahoman here and a review of the book in Monsters and Critics here.

Public anger is mounting at authorities in Taiwan who have still not found the cause of five deadly gas blasts that killed 28 people and injured hundreds more on Thursday.
Investigators in Kaohsiung are investigating LCY Chemical Corp, a Taiwanese petrochemical firm with pipelines running under the city.
A series of explosions tore through the streets starting at around midnight on Thursday, flinging cars into the air and blasting passers-by and shoppers at a nearby market with rubble.
Several residents had reported a gas leak to authorities in the industrial port city of 2.8 million people hours before the disaster and their failure to avert it has prompted widespread condemnation.
Residents said they were given conflicting advice before the explosions, which left a trail of destruction over one square mile.
One resident told television channel TVBS that five minutes before the explosions, authorities told them: "Everything is under control. You can go home and sleep."
The blasts also damaged rows of shops and low-rise apartments.
The city's environmental officials blamed LCY Chemical Corp for failing to notify authorities of problems with a pipeline in the area, despite being aware of irregularities in the supply.
Chen Chin-der, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau in Kaohsiung, said: "If we were informed earlier by LCY, we could have evacuated everyone."
The pipeline was leaking nearly four tons of propene every hour as pressure dropped at around 8.45pm on Thursday.
As reports of leaks flooded in, firefighters and environmental officials tried to work out the nature of the gas and where it was coming from but their failure allowed it to accumulate and spread over several hours.
"The leak was at a different location from the explosions, because propene was leaking and spreading through the sewer system everywhere," Mr Chen said.
"When the density of propene is very high, anything can trigger an explosion, anything as small as a cigarette, or starting the engine of a motor scooter."
Authorities had summoned representatives of a companies including LCY Chemical to check their pipelines but all said their operations were normal.
Propene, also known as propylene, is mainly used for making plastic that is widely used in a wide variety of packaging, caps and films.
The highly flammable gas is colourless and has only a mild, slightly unpleasant smell.
Thinking at first that it was natural gas, firefighters poured water at the site in the hope of dissolving it, which had no effect.
Experts were only able to identify the gas as propene at around 11.55pm but by then it was too late and a few minutes later, the blasts started ripping the streets apart.
The supplier said it had initially shut off the propene pump when it noticed irregularities several hours before the blasts, but had resumed delivery on LCY's request.
Tens of thousands of people lost electricity and water supplies in the disaster zone but the Government promised amenities would be restored within five days.
LCY Chemical Corp said it would co-operate with the investigation.
"Our priority is to figure out the truth and responsibility," spokeswoman Pan Lee-lin said.
Industrial pipelines are believed to precede many of the residential districts they run beneath in Kaohsiung.
The city contains much of Taiwan's heavy industry, especially petrochemicals.

Roger Ebert's Funeral: 'The Vanilla Sky Opens to Welcome One of Its Own Home'
A note from Spike Lee and a Hollywood-centric homily highlight services for the legendary critic; says Mayor Rahm Emanuel: "He was the most American of American film critics."
CHICAGO -- Chicago Sun-Times film critic, TV personality, blogger and Tweeter Roger Ebert was honored this morning with a liturgy of resurrection and redemption at Holy Name Cathedral on the city's near northside.
"He was the most American of American film critics in the most American of American cities," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel, brother of Hollywood super-agent Ari Emanuel. Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn noted, he was"a great teacher" and "union man."
PHOTOS: Roger Ebert's Top 20 Best- and Worst-Reviewed Films
In 1967, Ebert was hired as the full-time film critic at the Sun-Times. John Barron, a former publisher and editor at the tabloid daily, recalled that the 70-year-old writer who died of cancer Thursday was driven by "an indescribable lure to find out stuff." On Sunday, the newspaper ran his last review, of Terrence Malick's To the Wonder.
Jonathan Jackson passed along a message from filmmaker Spike Lee: "Roger fought the good fight. Roger fought the power." Jackson also delivered a message from his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said Ebert "sought to explain America to itself."
Rev. John Costello, one of three con-celebrants at the funeral mass, touched on The Hours and a 2001 film by Cameron Crowe in his literary homily: "As the curtain falls and the balcony closes for our earthly, dear Roger, maybe we can keep in mind the kind of God whose images and symbols continue to be introduced through the irony of seeing celluloid light in the darkened arenas of human foible. Seeing that God face to face, the 'Vanilla Sky' opens again to welcome one of its own home to a never-ending tenderness, to timeless embraces in an exploding glory amid the serenest of calm of one who finally knows for sure, yes, he was right all along."
STORY: In Final Review, Roger Ebert Finds Beauty in Sparse 'To the Wonder'
Director Gregory Nava from Sante Fe, N.M., led a prayer: "For all of us who work in the the world of filmmaking, an art form that Roger dedicated his life to elevating and encouraging and fighting for, that we may continue to be inspired by his spirit." Chicago filmmaker Steve James was discreetly shooting scenes for his documentary-in-progress on Ebert. James' Hoop Dreams earned a top review from the critic in 1994, as did Nava's El Norte in 1983.
Adjusting the veil of her Linda Campisano chapeau, Ebert's wife Chaz drew a laugh with, "He loved this hat." Her daughter Sonia and granddaughter Raven had addressed the almost full cathedral earlier. Father Michael Pfleger concluded the service with, "The balconies of heaven are filled with angels singing `thumbs up.' "
On Sunday, there was a private memorial vigil with an open casket at the chapel of Graceland Cemetery on the city's north side. A public tribute -- "Roger Ebert: A Celebration of Life" – is set for 7 p.m. Thursday at the Chicago Theater, 175 N. State St. Remembrances, video testimonials, clips and gospel choirs are planned. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ebert's memory may be sent to The Roger & Chaz Foundation, c/o The Northern Trust, 50 S. LaSalle St., Chicago.
Bill Stamets is a freelance writer and film reviewer for the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a microwave proof bowl, pour milk and sugar and mix well.
Now add shredded carrots, ground cardamom, and ghee in it and well.
Now put it in microwave on 100 C for 10 minutes.
Now take it out and mix the ingredients with spoon and bake another 5 minutes.
This time take out the bowl and add kewra essence and put it back for 5 minutes more.
Now dish it out and garnish it with khoya and enjoy it.
Pleasebe judicious and courteous in selecting your words.
Nahid, you can substitute 1/2 cup khoya/mawa with dry milk powder. Yes, 100 C does means 100 degree centigrade. This recipe is especially created for microwave users, but you can also bake it in conventional oven.
sounds quite interesting n wud love to try it .....but 2 queries plzzz...1> can u give me an alternative for khoya as here in miami i dint get to see khoya/mava yet2> when u use the terms "100 C" (hope u mean 100 degree centigrade ) n "bake" ...u mean a conventional oven or a microwave

Transport from Spokane to Vancouver, BC
WBBR desperately needs help to transport this boy from a kill shelter in Spokane. He was dumped because of his Demodex Manage. Demodex Manage is non-contagious and very treatable. The sad thing is that it doesn't start out like this. If it is caught early and treated it wouldn't have gotten this bad. Unfortunately being in a shelter is not helping Dexter get any better. D-Mange is due to compromised immune system, which can also be triggered by stress.
If you can help me get this boy any closer to us please let us know. Thank you! Jen

Keywords: Gulf Front Condo, Free Wifi, Corner Unit
Beautiful apt , stunning views and equipped with everything you need. The owners are particularly accommodating and friendly. Cant wait for return visit. Recommend the lobster rolls on the board walk at John's Pass at the Boardwalk Grill.
Spent December 2012 at Nina's. She and her husband, both warm and friendly people, met us at the condo upon arrival. There is a cart to help move one's bags upstairs. Nina showed us around the unit which is fully equipped, and extremely clean and comfortable, and is exactly as described in the listing and photos. I should also point out that there is free long-distance telephone to Canada, as well as the U.S. The free wireless was easy to connect to, and came in very handy.
The balconey has beautiful views of the gulf, and is a sun trap, so for the winter months is ideal. Being the south end unit, we had great views down the beach as far as Johns Pass, as well as west (gorgeous sunsets) and north. The condo building is well maintained, the pool cleaned every day, and the beach groomed daily by the city. Most days we were able to walk to wherever we wanted to go, as there are numerous shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. All other amenities are within easy drive across the bridge to the mainland. I had never thought of myself as a beach person, but after staying at Nina's I have changed my mind, and would rent Nina's again in a flash.
We brought our kids and their two friends here in July 2010 and had a wonderful time. The condo is gorgeous and very spacious. The beach was clean and had very little crowd. It was almost like we had our own private beach. We found several sand dollars out in the water and the water was so warm and had very little waves. We spent several hours every day bobbing in the surf, swimming with dolphins and searching for sand dollars. We visited John's Pass and ate at Bubba Gumps. There is a lot to see and do in the area. If you have a chance, check out the Sky Bridge. It is a sight to see! There is an ice cream/candy shop right across from the condo and our kids visited it quite frequently when we were there.
Nina was a very gracious host. She was quick to get back to us if we had questions and ensured the condo was clean prior to our arrival. The pictures don't do this condo justice. It is just beautiful! Nina contacted us after we got home to make sure we enjoyed our stay and she even went the extra mile and mailed a missing retainer we had left behind!
We hope to visit Madeira again!

I am a college teacher (digital photography). As a photographer, I have done a lot or portraits, and abstracts and some travel shots. As a teacher, I tell my student to PRACTICE both taking and editing photographs. Practice sounds like work, but if you love what you are practicing, it is hard to stop. I also believe that LOOKING at photographs is essential to developing as a photographer. If you want to be a good photographer, look at 10,000 photographs and take 1,000 more.

Parasites Lost is the fourth episode of the third production season and fourth episode of the third broadcast season of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on May 20, 2001.
Plot Edit
While making a pit stop at an interstellar truck stop, Fry buys and eats an extremely old egg salad sandwich from a vending machine in the restroom. On returning to Earth, Fry and Bender are assigned the task of fixing the plasma fusion boiler, which promptly explodes. Bender is not damaged, but Fry is impaled by a large pipe. Despite the severity of the injury, Fry's damaged body repairs itself in seconds and the subsequent medical examination reveals to the crew that Fry is infested with microscopic worms from the egg salad.
To eliminate the infestation, Professor Farnsworth makes miniature robotic versions of the crew, except for Fry and Leela. Because the worms know all that Fry knows and would thus defend themselves if Fry knew about the mission, Leela is assigned to distract Fry, who is not told what is happening. Controlling the micro-droids using virtual reality gear — which is apparently cheaper than actually shrinking the crew themselves — the crew board a miniature Planet Express ship and enter Fry's ear. Throughout the travel, the crew discover that the worms are drastically improving Fry's intelligence, health and fitness.
The crew make their way into Fry's bowel and fight their way to the pelvic splanchnic ganglion, intending to cause a massive bowel movement to expel the worm society (or, as the Professor puts it, "Listen, this is gonna be one hell of a bowel movement; afterwards, he'll be lucky to have any bones left"). Meanwhile, Leela is enchanted by the now intelligent and muscular Fry. He then reveals that he loves her but only recently was he able to articulate his thoughts. She realizes that the worms are responsible for the new, improved Fry and sets out to stop the Professor. Her micro-droid reaches the nerve and hacks the rest of the micro-droid crew to pieces with an axe. The Professor tells her that the worms will burrow so deep into Fry's body, he will be stuck with them forever, but Leela reasons that Fry is better off with the worms.
Fry is informed of what has been happening, but is more interested in romancing Leela than clearing the worms out of his body. Although the two share a romantic evening at Leela's apartment — made more powerful when Fry composes Leela a sonnet on the holophonor — Leela tells Fry that she loves the new him. Worried, Fry tells her that he needs to find out something, leaves and using his own micro-droid, enters his own body.
Fry confronts the worm leader and engages him in a swordfight after asking the worms to leave so he can learn if Leela loves him or just what they have made of him: he eventually blackmails the worms into leaving by threatening to kill himself by destroying the medulla oblongata and they comply. With the worms gone, Fry returns to Leela's apartment, intent on finding out if Leela can love him as he truly is. Fry explains to Leela about the worms and his decision to dispose of them. His awkward attempts at being romantic end when he mentions his previous relationship with Amy and Leela kicks him out of her apartment. Back at his apartment, Fry begins to re-learn the Holophonor and creates a crude image of Leela.
Alienese Edit
- Two signs read "Human Milk" and "Watch for Falling Humans" in Alienese.
Ongoing ThemesEdit
Death, near-death, mutilationEdit
Bender blows himself up at a truck stop.
Fry, Bender, and Scruffy survive an explosion. Only Fry is injured: he is impaled on a lead pipe, although he complains only of minor pain.
Leela's avatar, in order to prevent the rest of the crew expelling the parasites, savagely dismembers every one of their avatars with an axe.
The entire crew, including Fry himself, use Farnsworth's virtual-reality system to send their avatars into Fry's body.
Fry and LeelaEdit
At the beginning of the episode, Fry attempts vehemently to defend Leela's honor, but he expresses his feelings clumsily, referring to her as his "captain" rather than making any reference to his feelings for her. He then goes on to fail miserably at defending her honor, in fact providing his opponents with ammunition and even insulting Leela outright. Leela's frustration with Fry's ineptitude is clear.
This appearance of feelings for Leela is rather sudden, given that in the previous episode Fry was involved with his ex-girlfriend and given that up until now he has expressed little interest in Leela beyond occasional feelings driven by loneliness or simple lust. Now, for the first time, Fry is expressing persistent feelings for her.
Leela starts to swoon as soon as Fry shows the slightest sign of being something other than a buffoon. Her swoon disappears just as easily when Fry convinces the parasites to leave his body. In the closing scene Fry begins practicing the holophoner and shows by its projection that his feelings for Leela remain.
Sal's Speech ImpedimentEdit
Sal's speech is still almost normal at the beginning of the episode as he argues with Fry, but later on, while he apologizes to Leela, it is clear that his disorder has begun to move into a more advanced stage.
Hermes and ZoidbergEdit
Hermes and Zoidberg share a brief, friendly conversation.

Product Specification
Sponge Iron is mainly used as a raw material for speciality steel as well as substitute for scrap. Made from iron ore, sponge iron in itself is not used. It is further processed to make wrought iron. The rise in price of scrap and other factors have led to the increase in the use of sponge iron for making high quality steel.
The quality of sponge iron is primarily ascertained by the percentage of metallization (removal of oxygen), which is the ratio of metallic iron to the total iron present in the product. Sponge iron manufacture is highly sensitive to raw material characteristics.
Therefore, it is essential to examine the chemical and physical characteristics of raw materials, both individually and in combination.
The sponge iron is a key raw material for the manufacture of steel. The appropriate percentage of metallization (removal of oxygen) ensures the high quality of the sponge iron. The percentage of metallization is the ratio of metallic iron to the total iron present in the product.

Use of sponge iron
Sponge iron is not useful in itself, but can be processed to create. The sponge is removed from the furnace, called a, and repeatedly beaten with heavy hammers and folded over to remove the slag, any carbon or carbide and the iron together. This treatment usually creates wrought iron with about three percent slag and a fraction of a percent of other impurities. Further treatment may add controlled amounts of carbon, allowing various kinds of heat treatment (e.g. "steeling").
Today, sponge iron is created by reducing iron ore without melting it. This makes for an energy-efficient feedstock for manufacturers which used to rely upon.

Foreign Secretary Robin Cook today asked the President of Mozambique to act as a go-between with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe in a bid to end the tensions which have brought the African state to the brink of anarchy.
Joaquim Chissano was among top-level representatives of seven southern and central African states gathering at the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for a regional summit at which the recent spate of farm occupations is expected to be discussed.
Two farmers, some labourers and several members of Zimbabwe's opposition have been murdered, up to 1,000 farms occupied and dozens of families forced to abandon their homes since veterans of the country's liberation war began squatting on white-owned land in February.
Mr Cook, who is in Nepal, spoke to President Chissano by telephone and asked him to add his voice to those of other African leaders urging President Mugabe to restore the rule of law in his country.
He said that President Chissano - current president of the Southern African Development Community, which has been identified as a possible "honest broker" in the search for a solution to the issue - had responded positively to the suggestion.
But Zimbabwean officials arriving at Victoria Falls dismissed suggestions that their country's problems would be discussed at a summit scheduled to focus on the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Defence minister Moven Mahachi told BBC Radio 4's World at One: "We don't expect heads of state to come here to discuss internal matters of another country. There is nothing that warrants that at the moment.
"There is no chaos in the country, none whatsoever."
Mr Mahachi insisted that the farm occupations had involved only "petty violence" and compared them with the hooliganism that marred Leeds United's football match with Turkish team Galatasaray yesterday.
He said: "A few incidents of violence are found everywhere. There was violence yesterday when Leeds played a Turkish team - you can't say that England is in chaos. Yes, there was violence when some farms were destroyed, but you can't say in Zimbabwe there is chaos.
"There are people killed in South Africa every day. There have been more farmers killed in South Africa than the petty violence and two deaths we have experienced in Zimbabwe."
Mr Cook told the World at One: "I hope that President Chissano and his colleagues, when they meet President Mugabe, will warn him that what he is doing is not just damaging Zimbabwe but also threatens investment, standing and stability of countries around it.
"Much of the rest of Africa is concerned. Our strategy throughout has been to mobilise international opinion to pressurise President Mugabe to understand that he cannot ignore the rule of law without deep damage to his own country.
"We have been successful in mobilising international opinion through the UN, the EU, through my meeting with the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth and with the many contacts we have made with African leaders, who are speaking to President Mugabe.
"The message is certainly getting across to President Mugabe that many of the countries closest to him are deeply worried about the anarchy that is developing in Zimbabwe, are concerned that it could spread across the region and want it to come to an end."
Mr Cook reiterated Britain's willingness to provide financial support for a programme of land redistribution, provided that it takes place in an atmosphere of restored law and order, following free and fair elections, and that it benefits landless peasants, not cronies of the Mugabe regime.

WindowXML ColorDifusse set using $INFO breaks XBMC - Basje - 2011-06-03 20:53 I just updated part of my script to set the colordiffuse using some Addon Settings. Therefor I set this property on the window: Code: self.setProperty("XOT_DimBackground", "99ffffff") The Image is created like this in the WindowXML skin: Code: <control type="image"> It all appears fine, until I click on a button, then XBMC freezes and this message is logged an very large amount of times (it takes up 100% of a single CPU core): Code: 20:44:50 T:6260 M:910901248 ERROR: exception in CApplication::Render() I am running a very recent (29th of May) nighlty build. I'll try another compile and report back. - malte - 2011-06-16 08:14 FYI: I get the exact same error when I use a textbox without <font>-tag in a skin other than Confluence (tested with Night and Alaska). This happens in Dharma, did not test it with Eden yet. Also XBMC does not freeze, I still can navigate around but I can't launch addons anymore and can't quit XBMC. As soon as I add the <font>-tag everything works fine again. - jmarshall - 2011-06-16 09:39 It would be useful to have some scripts that allow these to be easily reproduced. Post the details on trac and feel free to cc me. - malte - 2011-06-16 11:17 I already made such a script. Will open a trac ticket tonight. - malte - 2011-06-16 19:20 Ticket created. - jmarshall - 2011-06-17 03:32 It should be fixed (the font issue specifically). Will need a script to test the $INFO colordiffuse issue. - mkortstiege - 2011-06-17 08:51 jmarshall Wrote:It should be fixed (the font issue specifically).

Hide Detailed Description
Detailed Description:
A total of 50,620 Thai children have been diagnosed with HIV infection in Thailand between 1988 and 2005, of whom only 20,000 are still living.1 The production of generic ART by the Thai Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO), which began in 2002 has given the Thai Government the ability to offer highly active antiretroviral therapy for all children.2 As of June 2006, there were over 6000 children receiving ART within the government program, and it is estimated that another 1500 children are receiving care in the private sector.1
The Thai National Access to Care program provides two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and one NNRTI as the first-line regimen of choice. The most commonly used regimen is GPO-vir S, which has been shown to have acceptable pharmacokinetic parameters3 and excellent treatment outcome4. A study of 107 children on NNRTI-based treatment, including half with GPO-vir S, showed that despite their low baseline CD4 of 3% and high viral load of 5.4 log, the children had excellent virological response, with 76% having HIV RNA below 50 copies/ml at week 72.4 In another study of 192 children with advanced HIV disease, the hospitalization rate decreased from 31% during the first six months to 2% at three years after HAART. The mortality rate decreased from 6% during the first six months of HAART to less than 1% after that.5
Nevertheless, Thailand is faced with growing numbers of children experiencing failure on NNRTI-based regimens as 20% or more are expected to fail based on published literature4, 6. This could result in 1000 or more Thai children needing to change therapy in the new future. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find appropriate second line treatments.
Developed and developing countries guidelines recommend regimens with a single PI plus low-dose ritonavir boosting (boosted PI) in combination with 2 NRTIs for adults and children failing NNRTI-based treatments.6-8 There is limited data on the antiviral efficacy of boosted PI second line treatment following failure from PI-sparing first line regimens. As the success of second line PI regimens in PI-experienced patients depends heavily on the number of PI mutations present9, 10, it is reasonable to assume that in NNRTI failures without any PI mutations, most of the patients will do well. However, this also depends on the number of active NRTIs that can be used in the second line regimens. Meta-analysis has shown that NNRTI failures tend to be associated with more NRTI mutations than PI failures.11 This is particularly true in developing countries where switching to second line therapy usually occur when there is late virological failure, and patients show signs of clinical and/or CD4 failure.12 A high likelihood of multi-NRTI resistance coupled with limited NRTIs choices can render the second line regimens less active. In these circumstances, it is unclear how effective a single boosted PI with recycle NRTIs second line treatment would be. Therefore, double boosted PIs with or without NRTIs have been proposed as a second line option in the 2007 Ministry of Public Health Treatment Guidelines for children with HIV infection.13 The pharmacokinetic enhancement of 2 different PIs with low-dose ritonavir offers a unique benefit in maintaining a high genetic barrier to resistance.
There are few choices for second-line therapy in children. Lopinavir/ritonavir is the PI of choice because it is the only ritonavir-co-formulated drug and the only liquid PI. It also has excellent efficacy in trials of single-boosted PI in children.14, 15 Indinavir is a commonly used PI in Thailand as it is the least expensive PI. Plipat N, et al. showed evidence supporting the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of a lower dose of 230-300 mg/m2 indinavir boosted with ritonavir and used in combination with 2NRTIs in Thai children.16 The efficacy of double boosted PI, saquinavir/lopinavir/ritonavir, was investigated in 50 children with NRTI/NNRTI failure. The regimen was effective: 80% and 60% had HIV RNA below 400 and 50 copies/ml respectively at week 48. However, the regimen was burdensome because of the large pill sizes, and the occurrence of hyperlipidaemia in 44% of children at week 48 caused concern 17, 18 Fortunately, no failing children were found to have PI mutations.19 A small study in Caucasian adults using the same regimen also show good efficacy.20

We live near SM Lanang, but the irony of it all we hardly visit this place unless of course if there are important errands around here. The kids has been whining about watching the dancing the fountain, so on Saturday off we go. They're having hourly evening show on weekend so it's so convenient, unless it'll rain, the fountain court area is actually best for leisure walking after eating.
I've catched a video of the almost 10-minute fountain show, here enjoy; for better video quality shift to 360p.

Las Vegas Area Scanning - Updated!
All sorts of stuff to listen to here in Las Vegas. Unfortunately work kept me away from the radios for much of the time I was there. Also, the hotel we stay at is in some kind of weird RF whirlpool that seems to de-sense my radios with all kinds of noise and RF garbage. Anyway, here are some highlites:
166.3000 MHz, CSQ - Lake Mead National Recreation Area, F1 repeater, discussions on loading up helicopter to head for wildfire. Also mentioned being back "in the Park". Input to this repeater is reported as 166.9000 MHz.
167.4375 MHz, P25 - Always encrypted, most likely FBI.
169.4000 MHz, CSQ - BLM Dispatch for some fire units for a wildland fire northeast of the Las Vegas area. Reference to helicopter 7AW heading back from the fire. Input to this repeater is reported as 168.5250 MHz.
170.0500 MHz, CSQ - Lake Meade National Recreation Area repeater.
172.9000 MHz, P25 - TSA at McCarran Airport. I gotta give these guys credit for really moving the bodies through the checkpoints in near record time. They don't fool around in Las Vegas!

A New Beginning
This is a new beginning!
As you may have noticed, "Yuppie Living", my blog about all things stylish, was almost abandoned and left for dead.
It was time for a change.
I decided to migrate to Wordpress and will start a brand new "Yuppie Living".
I expect to update the blog a lot more, preferably on a daily basis, with new features such as "Look of the Week", "Beauty of the Week", "Video of the Week" and "Around the Web".
Obviously, I will continue to share my thoughts and the images that catch my eye.
Expect a very stylish and fun blog.
Hope to see you there.

Last Minute Christmas Gifts for Yuppies (update)
In my recent post I forgot to mention this very modest gift: Wally Hermes Yacht.
It's a collaboration between Monaco ship-builders Wally and Hermès. It will only cost you about £90 million.
Maybe an option for the yuppie zillionaires...
Last Minute Christmas Gifts for Yuppies
I am a diagnosed materialist and consumerist. No doubt about it.
But when it comes to Christmas I become a different person, despising the shopping madness and spending spree.
Make no mistake, I love shopping, just not at Christmas. This is a spiritual time. Leave your shopping for the other 364 days of the year.
Having said that, I am aware that most people like to offer or expect to receive beautiful and expensive gifts so here is a list of things I would consider offering.
1. BJames Dyson, the British designer who invented the bagless vacuum. The summer is just around the corner.
2. Limited edition Leica Camera by Hermès. Leica meets Hermès. Could you wish for more?
3. Hermès typewriter. Again, why would you prefer a computer when you could have this classic typewriter? Well, maybe because of gift number 6 below.
4. Chanel snowboard. If you like extreme sports with a touch of class and chic.
5. Gucci/Unicef limited edition "snowman in Africa" bags. You can have an exclusive Gucci bag and still help those who really need your help. Fashion grew a conscience.
6. The Beatles Remastered Catalogue USB. For the modern Beatles lover. Sadly you cannot connect it to the Hermès typewriter.
7. Woolrich USB pen. I'm going through a New Americana phase so, please, bare with me.

The Gainsbourgs are back!
Father and daughter are back!
The latter with a new album, out now, and this wonderfully freaky collaboration with Mr. Hansen.
In the video, I love Beck's little tribute to the recently "deceased" fashion house Number (N)ine. Can you spot it? And, as always, I'm pretty much in love with all the frames in which Charlotte appears.
Charlotte Gainsbourg - Heaven Can Wait from Charlotte Gainsbourg on Vimeo.
Monsieur Serge isn't back from the grave but will have is biopic out in January.
The trailer looks very promising.

Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Yesterday I remained silently hoping for a miracle.
It was the 5th of November and I really wished something would change in our lives.
Nothing happened! What a shocker!!! In these days nothing ever happens.
Life may treat me well but I am the first one seeing that something needs to change.
We are ruled and led by incompetent, corrupt and mediocre people. The planet is falling apart as are our finances and economy. I see common people and the sad and weary looks on their faces, begging for a change, begging for help. Nothing happens. Nothing changes, well, not for the better, anyway.
I was hoping that someone remembered the 5th of November. That someone evoked Guy Fawkes, rightly said to be the only man to enter the British Parliament with honest intentions.
Maybe next year. Who knows? We might wake up until then.

New Shoes
I've recently bought two pairs of suede monkstraps.
A pair of KG by Kurt Geiger Cadfael tan double monkstraps, pictured above and below.
As well as a pair of Fly London Cosh sand single buckle monks.
I had to buy them online because I just could find them anywhere and I haven't had the opportunity of visiting London recently. But the surprise came when I received the shoes. They were both made in Portugal.
My question is: why can't I buy these products in Portugal? Especially since Fly London is a Portuguese brand.
You would say that it's all a marketing and branding thing. I agree, but it's also a goddamn ridiculous thing.
How can you launch and project Portuguese fashion/design if you don't start with your home market? Look at all the major Italian and Spanish brands. They started at home first and then proceeded to take over the fashion world.
By the way, the shoes are great. Beautiful and very confortable.

Something for... the Sophisticated Ladies
The new Miu Miu tweed jacket
Brown and cream tweed double-breasted cropped jacket with concealed snap closures on front. Jacket also has a cutaway collar with a snap fastening neck tab, full sleeves, faux flap pockets and is fully lined.
Feeling like...
Today I'm feeling a bit like Brian Jones...
...with some Charlie Watts thrown into the mix, whatever the hell that means!?!
It's not the pinstipre suit and suede monks. It's something else...!

Although each of one us is thought to possess or display some form of psychic power or talent, some will naturally be more psychic than others, for which they 'd feel that such events are just a typical thing. According to professionals on paranormal research study, an individual's psychic gifts can be established through a number of methods. One can boost his or her psychic skills through special training, normally with an experienced psychic or spiritualist in an official classroom or tutorial setting. One can likewise establish his/her psychic abilities in the house, through routine meditation and visualisation workouts, in addition to through self-study and research study from reading psychic books and associated information materials.
Enabling yourself a few minutes to be still upon waking makes it a lot easier to bear in mind dreams with more detail than if you rush out of bed in the early morning and hurry to begin the day. Attempt setting your alarm clock to wake you up 10 or fifteen minutes prior to your typical waking time. Offer yourself some time to keep in mind your dreams and make a few quick notes in your journal. The subconscious is more unrestrained during sleep.
Many people want to be liked from a place of not feeling wanted. You've been taught that your actions and words are powerful, when in reality they are useless in the face of a vibration that is entering direct opposition to your desire. The feeling of not being enjoyed is a contradictory signal to the desire for love. The choreographer can't make the match and bring in the ideal mate to your door.
Develop Psychic Capabilities Subliminal MP3: If you require help with opening your psychic power then you probably need to conquer self restricting idea patterns that are holding you back. Listening to this album daily will help you to smash through psychological barriers and release your psychic abilities. It will fine-tune your mind for rock solid belief, strong intuition, and the natural perception of hidden forces.
It is also useful for your development to obtain a psychic reading or consultation from a reader or medium to discover exactly what its all about. (not one of those hotlines marketed on TV or in magazines). Its finest in the beginning, to be straight in the vibration of person via VOICE or face to face with the individual offering the reading, so you can get the feel of the energy included.

Energy drink sales are skyrocketing: from 2011 to 2012 they grew by 14 percent, a bigger jump than any other beverage category! That's not too surprising—who doesn't want to catch a second (or third) wind?
Don't Miss: The EatingWell Energy Drink
But are some drinks better than others? Here we take a look at the calories, sugar and caffeine in some of the most popular energy drinks on the market.
Don't Miss: Are Energy Drinks Bad for You? Learn About the Health Side Effects of Energy Drinks Here
The Best: McDonald's Coffee
(large, 16 oz., black): 0 calories, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g sugar, 133 mg caffeine
In general, straight-up black coffee is going to be a top choice for energy. Black tea is a close second, though it delivers less caffeine per fluid ounce. Research shows that, in small quantities, caffeine may boost energy, alertness and athletic performance. But it's recommended that you limit your caffeine to 200 milligrams at a time, no more than twice a day—which is why the McDonald's black coffee at 130 mg per 16 ounces beat out the Starbucks with 330 mg for 16 ounces.
There are other perks to choosing coffee, too: moderate coffee drinking may help reduce risk of dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. You can read more about the health benefits—and cons—of coffee here.

Queudrue ready for Fulham clash
Franck Queudrue has warned that he will put friendship to one side when Birmingham travel to Fulham.

Franck Queudrue has warned former club Fulham that he will put friendship to one side when Birmingham travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The French defender spent a year with Fulham before signing for Blues last summer.
Both clubs are in the relegation zone with just two games of the season remaining, and they face each other in a crucial clash this weekend.
Victory for Birmingham would almost certainly send Fulham down but Queudrue insists there can be no room for sentiment.
"It's tricky to say which way it will go. I will be sad for my mates if we won, obviously. But this is my job," he said in the Daily Star.
No problem
"I have never been relegated and I have no friends when I step on the pitch, that's not a problem. I'm a professional.
"I enjoyed my time at Fulham but hopefully we can get the result we need."
Queudrue accepts that the match might not be the most attractive given the circumstances, adding: "We are in a bad position. We don't need to be pretty, we just need the points."
Birmingham were hammered 5-1 by Aston Villa in their last away match and let a two-goal lead slip as they were held by Liverpool on Saturday.
However, Queudrue is confident they can get back on track and clinch their survival.
"It's up to us to do something about it. I think it will be down to the side which holds its nerve best," he said.
