UTHSCSA, San Antonio, TX
Paradoxical reaction with exacerbation of clinical or radiographic manifestations occur in patients with different infections. Mycobacterium avium-complex (MAC) lung disease is a rare infection in patients presenting with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or with an endobronchial lesion (EBL) as part of a paradoxical reaction in advanced HIV disease. We describe an HIV patient (CD4 count >100 cells/mm3) with an asymptomatic SPN and evidence of endobronchial invasion due to an infection with MAC.
A 37 year-old male with a history significant for hepatitis C virus, heavy tobacco use, and HIV (diagnosed in 10/2000 with a CD4 count of 41 cells/mm3), was admitted in 1/2001 with a 3-month history of watery diarrhea since beginning antiretroviral therapy (combivir, nelfinavir, and delavirdine) with a CD4 count of 125 cells/mm3. Normal chest radiograph (CXR) was normal at initiation of medications. Other complaints included intermittent nausea and vomiting, dysphagia, and substernal chest pain for 1 week prior to admission, which all resolved following treatment for gastroenteritis. He had subjective fever and chills, a nonproductive cough, and a 40 lb weight loss over the prior 6 months. The physical examination and laboratory data were unremarkable. His skin test for tuberculosis (which was nonreactive in 10/00) was now positive (10 mm) this admission. His CXR demonstrated a new SPN in the anterior segment of the left upper lobe (LUL), which was not present on previous films in 10/00. The chest CT revealed a 1.5 cm LUL soft tissue nodule without significant hilar or mediastinal adenopathy. A large EBL was seen at bronchoscopy, and was completely obstructing the apical-posterior segment of the LUL. Although the transbronchial biopsies in the area of the SPN were nondiagnostic, the biopsies of the EBL revealed caseating granulomatous inflammation with stains positive for rare acid-fast bacilli. The endobronchial biopsy specimens and his initial sputum samples eventually all grew MAC organisms. Initial empiric tuberculosis treatment was changed to clarithromycin and ethambutol upon identification of MAC. The patient continues on MAC and antiretroviral therapy with improvement in his clinical condition and radiographic appearance.DISCUSSION: Infections with MAC typically occur in a subpopulation of HIV patients with low CD4 counts (<100 cells/mm3). EBL caused by mycobacterial infections has been reported with MAC and other mycobacteria. Only 3 cases of endobronchial MAC have previously been reported in the literature, but none of this cases was a result of a paradoxical reaction in HIV patients. This paradoxical reaction presumably develops as a consequence of reconstitution of immune response. Histopathologically, these EBLs demonstrate an intense granulomatous inflammatory reaction, unlike the poor inflammatory response seen in pulmonary MAC without endobronchial involvement. The EBL in our case was an incidental finding and was not suspected prior to the bronchoscopy. A high clinical suspicion and further evaluation of pulmonary disease with fiberoptic bronchoscopy may help further define these issues. Treatment for MAC pulmonary disease consists of a prolonged course of combination therapy with a newer-generation macrolide, ethambutol, and either rifampin or rifabutin.CONCLUSIONS: Endobronchial involvement and SPNs are uncommon manifestations of infections with MAC in the HIV population and have been rarely reported as a consequence of immune reconstitution. Our patient's presentation of MAC is unique because he presented with a new SPN (with an incidental finding of EBL) after initiation of antiretroviral therapy with evidence of increasing numbers of CD4 cell count. Therefore, MAC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of HIV patients with immune reconstitution syndrome presenting as pulmonary nodules and endobronchial lesions.

For the past 20 years, few babies have been born in Japan. As a result the number of workers is falling. Naturally enough, with fewer workers, there is less scope for investment.
Japan has lots of people who are saving for retirement. Since opportunities at home are limited, much of these savings have to be invested abroad. Foreign investment must equal the current account surplus and so can grow only if the trade surplus expands. Last year it fell and Japan went into recession. For it to recover, the trade surplus must grow and the yen must weaken.
Sensible people in America know this. Larry Lindsey, George W Bush's economic guru, gave a key speech soon after the new US President was elected. He argued Japan could not recover without export growth. But US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill does not agree. He recently sounded off in Tokyo, saying that 'a falsely manipulated currency is a form of protectionist action'. Everybody has taken this as an attack on Japanese policy.
O'Neill is not everyone's hero. Alan Abelson, of market commentator Barron's, has remarked that he suffers from 'foot-in-mouth disease'. O'Neill in turn seems to have been angered by a comment from his opposite number. Japan's Finance Minister, Masajuro Shiokawa, told reporters the US Treasury Secretary had agreed that the market should determine exchange rates.
Shiokawa may have thought O'Neill would not object to private comments being made public when they expressed such an admirably free market sentiment. Now he knows better.
O'Neill is on shaky ground. Japan has not intervened in the foreign exchange market during the recent decline in the yen, as Vice Finance Minister Haruhiko Kuroda has made clear. The 'manipulation' to which the US Treasury Secretary refers must therefore be the words, rather than actions, of the Japanese. But if he objects to their comments, how does he justify his own? If theirs are manipulation, what are his? His foot seems to be, once again, in his mouth.
Behind the rash talk lies a fundamental problem. Economics calls for a large rise in Japan's trade balance - a fall in the yen is necessary to achieve it. But with the US in recession too, this reality is painful. This produces the classic reaction. When the answer is unpleasant, politicians take refuge in denial.
As the consequences of Japan's low birthrate are unpalatable, neither US nor Japanese politicians discuss them. This leads to absurd claims that 'reform' will produce economic recovery in Japan. This is, clearly, unadulterated nonsense. Japan suffers from a lack of demand and no reforms will increase that. Reform might improve supply, but that is not Japan's problem.
The failure of politicians to face facts threatens Japan's economy. It is the world's second largest, so we are all threatened by this political folly.

Safety, savings fuel push for driverless trucks
By Byron Kaye and Toby Sterling
SYDNEY/AMSTERDAM Jan 21 (Reuters) - After decades checking their rearview mirrors for the threat from rail and air transport, truckers around the world are facing their latest rival head-on: driverless trucks.
As companies from Toyota Motor Corp to Google parent Alphabet Inc race to develop driverless technology, trucking companies are seeing the potential to cut costs by nearly half and improve safety.
Already in Australia, the world's most truck-dependent nation, mining giants such as Rio Tinto are using remote controlled lorries to shift iron ore around massive mining pits.
Now the country's road transport companies are modernising fleets to ensure that when their industry goes autonomous, as early as the end of the decade, they are ready.
"I don't see this as disruptive necessarily, as much as a natural evolution," said Sarah Jones, head of road transport compliance at Toll Holdings, Australia's biggest trucking company.
Toll, owned by Japan Post Holdings Co Ltd, has already kitted out many of its 3,000 vehicles with semi-autonomous gadgetry like lane-change sensors and cruise control.
It will join other firms in April to watch a driverless truck trial in the Netherlands, which wants autonomous road trains sending cargo from Rotterdam, Europe's biggest port, throughout the continent by 2019.

Shake Me
A poem
Shake Me
Tell me a sad story
And I shall write you a book
Of the past and faded Glory
About the Worlds we thought we shook
A flock of birds crowded on the dome of a mosque
Remind me of the faith I once had but now have lost
And though mine is not a story previously untold
In times of solitude I still feel cold
Without the God and the religious lessons I had been taking
Without the Glory, the Worlds I thought I had been shaking
The Lord is My Light and in Darkness He does not forsake me
Oh those lines how far back they try to take me
Tell me a tale of moonlit sorrow
And I'll tell you why I feel so hollow
All about the love I had been making
About bruised egos and wounded heroes
I'll tell you why my heart is breaking
Can you fathom what it is to know that your life is a lie ?
That the answers to questions like who ? What ? Where? And why ?
Were not answers but lies magnificently implanted
Traditions handed down, believed, repeated and chanted.
Tell me why your life does not sing with harmony
And I'll tell you why I constantly scream in agony
The seeds I have sown, the rewards I am reaping
The rewards being the tears I am desperately weeping
Watering the trees of misery whose branches grow taller by the hour
Each branch laden with fruit, each fruit increasingly sour.
"Tell it to ears willing to listen," you say. "I have already heard the story"
"Of the past and faded Glory".
"Of Faith lost, Love stolen, and Hearts broken"
"Abandon thoughts of the life you had been shaping."
"Leave this dream, return to the realm of the waking."
Only in my fantasies was the World ever shaking.
Shake me

My site was very narrow. Its good the site next to me was empty. To get out from under my awning I would have been walking on their water hoses and sewer lines. Other sites in the park were much wider, but they were not offered to me. Its the summer in Florida and $40 should buy me a very very nice site. Road noise is a problem when out walking, but OK inside with a/c running. I did not use cable, but got 61 stations on the antenna. The WiFi was the fastest I have ever encountered in any other campground - 10 Mbps. Another first was the special water stands, with very long hoses attached, for washing out your holding tanks- great idea. - Libby

The water is often cut off. So if you don't fill your fresh water tank, your out of luck. When they do a water treatment, they often use too much chlorine. One day they did it and I had a full blown asthma attack while taking a shower. Luckily there's a hospital nearby. I confronted the manager and she apologized, but did nothing about it. I ended up using my fresh water tank for showers until the chlorine smell went away (which was about a day or so). The maintenance crew consists of two men well into their 70's. The lawns looks terrible, it has big brown blotchy spots everywhere. Plus tons of ants. The rules that we were given were not enforced. There are a few blind corners, in which I've almost had accidents at. They have dangerous picnic tables (rotted and falling apart).
The residents are pretty nice and helpful, they've mentioned that this park owner isn't very attentive to the park (They've had a few owners). They have said since the new owners have had it, that they've raised the rent, but don't upgrade the park.
The spots are close together, so if you and your neighbor have your windows open, you're going to hear each other's conversations. It's a very quiet place though.
They use to have WiFi for $20/mo, but the person taking care of it said that the park owner no longer wanted to deal with it. So it was removed. The pool is not heated. Their bathrooms aren't very clean. Also there is a gentleman who is always at the public bathroom area. Whenever my wife went to use the bathroom, a man would constantly hit on her. I told the manager about this and she said she would talk to him, but that didn't stop him. The park easily floods. If you don't own a car that is high off the ground, you run a serious chance of your car flooding. I've heard (from the residents) that when the owner comes to visit, she's very short with them and has been known to insult some of them. - Mike Thomas

This is not a 55+ RV park, though the mobile home section of the park is. [Admin Note: Called the park and was told that those under 55 were welcome "for a night or two".] The park grounds are beautiful, but the electric, cable connections, bathrooms and laundry are not maintained and are in need of updating. The water here is HORRIBLE. My trailer's sinks, shower, and dishes are heavily coated with limescale deposits. My sewer pipe was full of iron deposit. The electric breakers constantly blew, the water was shut off often without notice due to leaks on the property and sewer back-ups and leaks were common. The residents are very cliquish, and management does nothing to foster good neighboring. Park rules are discriminately applied and most people ignore them all together, unless their neighbor is breaking a rule, which gets promptly reported to management. Most of the trailers here are older models and the sites are close together. There are no pull-through sites and the newer, bigger rigs have trouble backing into sites. There is no park-wide Wi-Fi; it's only available at the clubhouse, which is closed in summer. No picnic table at the site. The park was quite noisy, dirty, and run-down. - CoachCouple

This park has many full time residents. The grounds are poorly kept and there is no effort at pest control. The clubhouse is dark and moldy, as are the bathrooms, in addition to the many cobwebs and spiders crawling around them. The manager is pleasant enough, but his wife is terribly rude and difficult to deal with. The roads are in disrepair as well. The picnic table at my site was falling apart. Overall, this park is seriously run down and needs new management or a new owner to clean it up. - CoachCouple

Very friendly, laid back older campground. Manager goes out of his way to foster interaction between long term and short term guests. We barely parked and were urged to come for potluck. Also we enjoyed a free cooking lesson and wine tasting, and invitation to play bridge,etc. Grassy pull thru was levelnand wide with concrete patio and drained well during heavy rainstorm. Heading northbound on Route 1 in or out of the park is tricky with the divided highway. Also trains run close by. - nonadonna

The manager tried to make us happy, but barking dogs in front and back of us tend to make us unhappy. The cable didn't work. The facilities were not clean. Trains, planes, and automobiles but we got use to that. Could not get use to barking dogs. The fishing pier across from park and a boat ramp 1 1/2 miles away were the only good things about this park. - kgkaroonie

If you like hearing airplanes, automobiles, and trains, this place is for you. 24/7 the noise never stops. The park is right on US 1, a four lane highway with 24 hours traffic. The railroad track is right behind the park, I mean right outside the park fence, and runs 24/7. We literally were shaken awake in the night by these trains. There is an airport approximately a mile away and these planes fly all day long right over the park. They are people learning to fly. The water is terrible and not drinkable, we had to buy all of our water in spite of the fact we had 2 water filters on our unit. The laundry and club house are dirty. The park is dirty, trash, not mowed, etc. The manager even came around one day and wanted us to pay $45.00 to have our site sprayed for bugs. Can you imagine? But true. The Wi-Fi service is not free, don't be fooled. We would never stay here again or recommend that anyone else does either. - bsnmobs

Pros: This is a beautiful ocation with swimming pools and beach access on the Atlantic side as well as the Indian River side. Each site is on cement so there are no worries about dirt coming in to your RV. There are plenty of clean swimming pools, hot tubs, restrooms, laundry, showers, tennis courts, etc. There are also lots of activities available (water aerobics, pickle ball, shuffleboard). In spite of the large number of sites, it is very quiet. Most of the residents are permanent or full-season and it is only available to those over 55. The location is not too far from stores and restaurants, but is on the quiet end of the barrier beach. Cons: There is an occasional smell from the nearby septic treatment plant depending on which way the wind is blowing. The price is high, but it is Florida waterfront in prime season. - Cape Cod kayaker

Very nice location and we stay whenever close by. A little pricy for summer rates. We noticed the smell that's been mentioned before, but it went away pretty quick. You need their box to get cable but the antenna worked well enough. Lovely pool right on the river. - Libby

This is a park we used to own in, so it is dear to us. It has become mostly park models. The lots that are available are small, but adequate. The streets are narrow with lots of palm trees. The amenities ; 3 pools and a hot tub, gym, tennis courts, and shuffle board are all beautiful. The ocean and the Indian River are right there for boating, fishing etc. The streets are narrow and the turn radius is tight. They do not rent to motor homes larger than 40 ft. Remember to pull in awnings in the rainy months if on the river, or you will lose it due to sudden high winds. I now return occasionally to visit the ocean and walk the beautiful beach there. - rvjubilee

As other reviewers have said this is a very large snowbirds park. Due to our late booking (last October) the only space left was a back-in at the back of the park near the railroad. There was a $50 discount for being near the railroad. Our site was small but adequate for our 36ft trailer plus tow truck.
There are many activities should you choose to join in plus 2 good sized swimming pools. Staff were very pleasant as were our neighbours and folks we met. Shops and beaches all in reasonable distance and very good. Downside is wifi is only available at the office/mailroom but connection is very good there. We took the Comcast package which is a personal modem for $40 PM which worked exceptionally well. We have only rated it 6 due to our site but we do recommend this RV park and advise very early booking as many of the residents return each year. for overnighters there are pull thru sites at the front of the park. - Harris England

Clean park. It's a bit of a large mega park. If you are staying nightly or weekly, you will most likely be put into sites that are like a parking lot. We felt surrounded by RV's and sitting outside was like being squished by them. Lots a seasonals here with really nice places and nice RV sites in the middle, interspersed with mobile homes.
We were in lot 12, a pull-thru, for a week. Glad it was no longer. But on a positive side, excellent location to see sights and a beautiful drive to Vero Beach along the island road. Only five miles to beautiful beaches too. Great waterfront restaurants in town.
Lady at checkout seemed to do just what she had to do. We had to ask about good Sam discount, and if there were any activities, and then if we could get a calendar of them. Lots of activities. Not too many RV resorts around Sebastian so this is probably the one to stay at. Ask to be in middle of sites. On the West side trains go by and they are close to the tracks! - User3092

We stayed for a month and would certainly stay again. The park is huge and is mostly mobile homes and park models but they are well-maintained and the people are very friendly. The streets are all paved and level. Our site was around the little lake and there was a nice breeze every day. The only drawback is the location of the park. It is right next to a main road so there is a lot of traffic noise if you are at the front and there is a train if you are situated at the back. However, the location itself is very good with the beach and restaurants close by. - Sheena123

New owner here since we last stayed 3 years ago. Not much has changed in the park. Still quite a few very old single wide mobile homes are here. FHU 50amp site was fine, getting a 40' rig in and out can be a challenge. Sewer did back up on me when it was time to dump. Park is adding WIFI throughout the park rather than just at the office. Wish they would answer the phone when you call in. You will always get voice mail and wait for a return call. Office is only open from 9-2 weekdays and never on weekends. - Bob & Stephanie

We made reservations in advance stating we had a 40' coach. After 5pm on Friday, there is nobody available from the office until Monday. The emergency phone # didn't work. We arrived and had trouble getting the coach THRU the park--cars were parked on both sides of the drive. There was one spot available and it had been "assigned" to us (all others were filled with old mobile homes and trailers in disrepair--didn't even feel comfortable going in). The one spot would NEVER accomodate a big rig either length or height. Plus there was a bush in front of the pad so we never would have even been able to get IN to the spot. DO NOT stay at this park--they are misleading, unavailable, and unless you have a very small camper, spots are unaccessible. - lvescape

Very old, dated park with many very old, single-wide mobile homes in various states of disrepair. Park is convenient to the beach and shopping of all kinds as well as restaurants. Wi-Fi is only available as a hotspot at the office. There are no showers or rest rooms and the laundry has cold water only. This park is a fairly good value but could use some serious updating. Pool is nice and kept up well. Rates are increasing as of 4/1/13. - Bob & Stephanie

We spent three nights here and enjoyed our stay, although it was very windy almost the entire time and we just a little bit of a severe thunderstorm that mostly passed to the south of the campground. Our dog, on a leash of course, really enjoyed the very large grassy area in the middle of the campground. We backed our trailer up to an opening in the mangroves and had a lovely view out our large rear window of the Indian River. The back of our trailer was no more than six feet from the water. We saw dolphins swim by, some very close, every day. The staff seemed to stay very busy trimming grass, picking up litter, etc., and were very friendly. We were there from Tuesday until Friday and while the campground was pretty full it was quiet. Fellow campers were polite and friendly. While we did not use the restrooms or showers, my wife did go into one of the older restrooms and said that while it was getting a bit long in the tooth it was very clean. Our picnic table looked old, weathered and stained. We had good Verizon signal and LTE. We recommend this campground. - bfisher003

This park has many waterfront sites and is close to Sebastian Inlet so it fills up fast. We had a site on the water but the mangroves blocked any view. This was our first camping trip in our new travel trailer so we were mainly checking out how everything functioned and learning the ropes. I had been to the park before as a day tripper and enjoyed fishing there, and that seems to be the main recreational activity along with kayaking. We brought our dog who was allowed everywhere in Long Point, but when we went to Sebastian State Park she was only allowed in the parking lot, so no beach, no jetty, no docks, etc. She doesn't do well being alone so we just hung out at camp. Our site was small and the ground was rather uneven, and of course the utilities were on the wrong side of the camper, something we first-timers didn't consider when making reservations. There is no shade and no barriers of any kind between sites so you will get to know your neighbors. Bath house was ok, there were several in the park but we only used the one closest. There is a boat ramp and dock, and a bridge that goes to an island that is nice for a short walk or wade fishing. Some of the larger RV sites have sewer, but most sites do not. If we stayed here again I would try to get a site on open water because the view is amazing. - Daisy Jetstar

Camped with husband, 13 yr old and 8 year old sons, as well as dog. Campground is surrounded by intercoastal water, great for kayaking, canoeing, boating or just lounging near. Most all outer sites have good water access. Our site, 64, had a wonderful shady water entry, although had a little bit of sea wall material. Closest bathroom was about 100 yards. It would be nice if they put another one further down to serve those in sites ranging around 62-82. My boys loved the huge open grassy field in the middle of park. The guests ranged in age from very young to elderly. Sites were spacious enough. Great place to bring your bikes! - Scoutgirl72

A very clean maintained park. All campers backed in at the same distance making the rows look nice. Parking for your car is right beside your camper. RV and car is parked on cement. Lots of nice grass. It is a Air Stream park, but will take other campers. NO shower house. But a nice big club house with restrooms. Some activities. Everything is close by at Melbourne. They do not except mail at the office, but have their own post office, if you know your address/street number. Will stay here again. No picnic tables provided. Sewer connection is under the RV when you back in. No pull throughs. This park is now for the big rigs, as the sites were shorter. Our motor home is 35 foot and had no trouble, but bigger RV's would. Call first to check. - consmith

We DID NOT stay here. This review is to explain 2 things about this facility. 1. The website shown on RVPR is incorrect. It should be www.lyhairstream.com, and 2. They cater to Airstream trailers. The lady I talked to said they have 2 sites that will accommodate up to 40 foot regular RVs. When I called, they did not have space in those 2 sites. - therealSimpsons

May 2016 - $15.00
Arrived at our site which we reserved 11 months in advance to find our neighbor had set up their chairs and tables on our site in the shade because their site had no shade. We asked a passing park ranger what we should do. He said he would remove the equipment and take it back to the ranger station because it looked like no one what home on their site - no car, all shades drawn. The ranger loaded the equipment into his golf cart and as he was pulling away a guy explodes out of the camper swearing a blue streak and calling us and the ranger every name in the book. The ranger told us to go back into our rig which we did immediately. The guy continued to argue and threaten the ranger, and the ranger told him numerous times their equipment was on our site and that was not OK. After 10 more minutes of loud arguing the ranger left while with the equipment still sat right next to our site, and the guy goes back in his camper. We think the guy should have been thrown out of the campground.
My wife and I decided we would not stay anywhere in this park in case this guy came after us. We pulled up stakes, left the site, and went to the office to ask for a refund. We were told our money would be refunded but never received it.
After this scary experience and no refund we will not return to this campground.
We've been RVing for 20 years. I don't know what's happening to the RV world, but we have witnessed similar "rage incidents" in the last four months where people go ballistic over small matters in campgrounds. We've had one other incident ourselves and have observed numerous others.
So please folks, stay on your own site, be considerate of others in every way, and relax! - Phaetonman

We stayed 7 nights. The park is isolated from city amenities. It is 15 miles from dining and shops. It was difficult to sit outside with all the bugs. We need a screen room. Fishing was good everywhere, the beach, the inlet, the piers and all over. We always saw people catching fish. It took about 1 hour for someone to fill a 5 gallon bucket with fish.
Lot spacing was nearby with some shade. Site surface was gravel and features a fire ring and picnic table. - Beas

The Prince of Wales has routinely received copies of secret Cabinet papers, it has emerged.
The revelation follows a three-year Freedom of Information battle between the Cabinet Office and the campaign group Republic.
Republic's victory means four chapters of the Cabinet Office's "Precedent Book" have been made public.
They reveal how Cabinet and ministerial committee papers are provided to a "standard circulation" list limited to the Queen, the Prince of Wales and government ministers.
Charles is therefore privy to ministers' discussions on upcoming legislation, which are usually kept secret from the public for 20 years.

Scientists, regulators and shipping industry representatives are working on a mandatory code for ships in polar regions after the rescue of the Australasian-chartered MV Akademik Shokalskiy in Antarctica.
The International Maritime Organisation secretary general, Koji Sekimizu, told a workshop in London late last month that members had agreed a mandatory code was needed over and above existing rules and guidelines for ships operating in polar waters.
"Work to finalise the code at the end of this year is well under way," he said.
The organisation's marine environment protection committee and maritime safety committee, meeting over the next three months, will work on the code. It will cover ship design and construction, training and watch-keeping, and on-ship systems and equipment.
"The safety of ships operating in the harsh, remote and vulnerable polar areas and the protection of the pristine environments around the two poles have always been a matter of concern for IMO and many relevant requirements, provisions and recommendations have been developed over the years," Sekimizu said.
A mandatory code was needed because polar shipping would grow in volume and diversify in coming years, he said.
Ships operating in the Arctic and Antarctic environments were exposed to a number of unique risks and the remoteness of the areas made rescue or clean-up operations difficult and costly.
The Australian government is trying to recoup about $2m it spent helping rescue passengers this summer from the Australasian Antarctic Expedition aboard the Russian research ship, which became trapped in heavy sea ice on Christmas Eve.

The Unofficial Santa Maria Style BBQ Page

Stashed in: Recipes!
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
It's summer and time for all Californians to bust out the grill for Santa Maria style tri-tip, beans, and salsa. My tip for the salsa: if you make it with 4 different colors of tomatoes, it tastes even more awesome and people will eat it by the GALLON.
Color of tomatoes correlates with taste? Any particular type of tomato you recommend?
I don't know if color of tomatoes correlates with taste, but I do know that 1) a variety of tomatoes is always to the good; and 2) if the salsa is pretty, people will eat more. That is why I pay extra for red onions and Fresno chiles for this dish.

"Our machines should be nothing more than tools for extending the power of the human beings who use them." This was one of varying views that came out of our recent event on the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the built environment. Here we provide a snapshot of some of the key messages to take away.
If human intelligence is defined as the ability to demonstrate plausible reasoning, intuition, common sense, beliefs and effective communication, then AI is the ability to simulate human behaviour and cognitive processes as well as the ability to comprehend large amounts of data at high speeds.
A smart city is a human-centric city; it puts humans at the heart of design. We should therefore implement artificial intelligence that works with humans, for example by designing artificially intelligent machines that can identify 'unnecessary noise' and prevent it from penetrating private dwellings or can detect that you have a busy day at work and make suggestions.
Data is certainly a great source. However, did someone buy their home in a certain area because its value would likely increase due to new restaurants opening and good schools nearby or was it because the area reminded them of places they had been to as a child?
Just some include large scale lay-offs from automation in many sectors including surveying, healthcare, education and transportation; increased health and safety for workers, pedestrians and vehicle drivers; a reduction in waiting lists for those needing medical treatments as more surgical operations are carried out by robots.

"You! What are you doing here?" I met his gaze and he instantly grew self-conscious.
"This is my class. You can read my timetable if you want but I was even directed here when I asked." He growled in the back of his throat then suddenly he looked like he had been beaten and picked up his chair and sat down, not without muttering angrily at the ground. I looked around the room to see what had happened until I saw him in a throne at the front of the class. The reason I didn't see him immediately is because he blended into the darkness of the room as the room was lit only by candles.
"I knew you would arrive. It took you some time to get here Jun Williams." Women draped from his arms like clothes and I turned my head away in disgust. Ugh, men with power made me sick to my stomach. "Does something displease you Jun?" I didn't look at him.
"I think it is obvious what displeases me." I spat. He chuckled.
"What? Do I have too many women for your liking? I had thought you were attracted to women and that is why I have them here in the first place." I turned my glare to him finally.
"What? You think just because I'm a teenager I have some kind of insatiable lust?" I snorted and crossed my arms. "I'm not that kind of a teenager Meir, for god's sake, I have spent most of my life being shunned by all women but my Mother, I'm used to it. I am displeased with you. You treat them as if they are things, clothes for you to throw on the floor. They aren't. They are alive, unlike you who must drink their blood to survive so you should treat them with more respect." I gave him a heated look before turning away from him and muttering to myself, "fucking carnivores."

Damn, that Aria chick was hot. Cody punched my arm as I watched her wander across the street, more specifically watching her curves.
"Don't perv, you only just met her."
"Like she wasn't being suggestive," I laughed, glancing at Rayn, "think you can handle him for a bit?"
"Probably. Why, where're you going?"
"Just to look at that empty house down the road," I grinned. I really did try and look at the empty house, but see, Aria was sunbathing in that tiny little bikini in her front yard and, fuck me, was she gorgeous. At first I sort of tried to use the empty place to pretend that I wasn't shamelessly staring, but I gave up on that in the end. She was being incredibly suggestive with a popsicle, and how was I supposed to help it when my head got all filled up with what I'd rather she had her lips wrapped around?
This guy looked at me as he walked by, saying something to me.
"Wha?" I blinked, having to tear my eyes away from certain parts of Aria's body.
"I said fuck off," he told me.
"Why?" I arched an eyebrow. People only usually said that to me when I'd been doing something I wasn't s'posed to.
"S'kinda rude to perv on chicks," he said. Oh.
"I'm admiring. Anyway, if she doesn't want to be perved on, she should go act like that in her back yard"
This guy was getting on my nerves. "Why should she have to?"
"'Cause if someone that looks like that is lounging around in a bikini outside the way she is, she's gonna get stares. It's not like she has a problem with it."
"How do you know she doesn't?" I think the popsicle thing was enough proof for me.
"If she had a problem, she'd move, idiot."
"Aria's too polite for that." But not so polite that she won't put on a show just to tease me.
"Whatever, man. I'll stare all I like til she tells me otherwise. It's none of your goddamn business," I really wanted to hit him.
"It is my goddamn business, actually," he informed me.
"Oh, is it? Are you her boyfriend?"
"Yeah, I am," he lied. I mean, it wasn't like I'd care much either way, I just wanted to know who I was dealing with.
"Just fuck off, yeah?"
"You can fuck off," I retorted, getting kinda pissed at the guy now. I watched as he wandered over to Aria, kissing her cheek.
"Aria, sweetheart, can you go inside?"
She got up, "Keep it clean, boys," she told us before wandering inside. Was this guy for real?
"You sure messed with the wrong guy," he said, shrugging off his leather jacket.
I balled up my fists, ready for whatever this idiot could throw at me. "Did I now?"
"Yeah." He waited for me to make the first move, which I did more than happily, watching as my temper was betrayed by everything that wasn't bolted down started trembling. I guess I should explain that, at least a little bit. See, I can move things without touching them. I can heal myself and others, too. Not that I do much healing of other people. And the last, really fun bit is that I'm immortal. You heard me. I can't die. Fun stuff right?
We brawled in the middle of the street, and I was winning til he set himself on fire. Holy fuck. Who sets themselves on fire in a fight? Talk about unfair. I swore loudly, healing away as many burns as I could. I battered his head, trying to get him to turn the fucking flames off, but it didn't have any real effect.
I tried to strangle him, but there was this sort of tingling in my hands. I'd have said it was like burning, but it was worse than the fire. I did my best to heal that away, but the pain only got worse. My vision blurred, and the ground rushed up for a big fucking hug. The last thing I saw was his victorious smirk.
I coughed. Being dead really fucks up your lungs, did you know that? Coughing and spluttering my way into consciousness attracted Aria's attention. I opened my eyes as I heard her footsteps getting closer to me. Her smile greeted me as I looked around.
"Fuck," I groaned.
"Y'all okay?"
"That hurt."
"I can imagine," she said, watching as I rubbed the sleep grit out of my eyes and sat up, shivering. I could still feel whatever it was that guy did to me. I healed away what I could feel, muttering that I wasn't sorry for staring, despite what had happened.
"Didn't think ya would be."
"I'd stop if you asked me to, but that guy was a jerk"
"That guy also happens to be my best friend," she told me and from then on I did my best to keep my anger towards him to myself. She smiled a little. "If it's any consolation, he's been sent to the naughty corner." I laughed slightly, making her smile.
"I think he needs a bit more than that, he killed me!"
She nodded, "he saw you as a threat." I arched an eyebrow. I was a threat? If I'd been doing more than looking, then sure, but I wasn't. "It takes ya a while to understand how his head works." Right, so he was a nutcase. Great.
"Anyway, are ya gonna be okay now?"
"Yeah, good as new," I nodded.
She smiled. "Good."
"The things I have to go through to look at someone as pretty as you, eh?" I said with a small chuckle, making her laugh.
"Are y'all flirtin' with me, there?"
"I think after all that, flirting is the least I should be allowed to get away with," I said, thinking of plenty other things I should be allowed to get away with.
"Oh really?" she smirked at me slightly. I nodded. "Well ya can flirt all ya like, doesn't mean it'll work."
"Now that'd be a shame," I said, determined now for it to work.
"I'm sure it would," she agreed.

This unique fibre used in JS Slim acts as a prebiotic food for your good bacteria in you whole gut system. The myriad of health benefits of increased good bacteria proliferation and their affect on health, wellness, digestion and absorption as well as elimination and metabolism have been extensively studied. This aspect of the formula corrects underlying GI imbalance, and healthy functioning digestive system is cornerstone to an efficient metabolism.
In obese mice, it has been reported that lotus leaf extract prevented the increase in body weight, inhibited absorption of lipids and carbohydrates, accelerated lipid metabolism and up-regulated energy expenditure, suggesting beneficial effects for the suppression of obesity.
Is a powerful yet gentle and non-depleteing herbal diuretic, this will clear any excess fluid build up that accompanies being overweight. This ingredient can account for some of the rapid weightloss results we hear from our clients in the first 2 weeks, as a lot of the initial weight they lose is water retention due to many factors.
Hawthorn is also a diuretic, but has marked affects on the circulatory system, enhancing oxygen utilisation in the heart and promoting flow and circulation of oxygenated blood around the body. It also aids poor digestion and absorption, especially where there is a flow down of metabolism as it's nature is warming and aromatic so will kick start proper digestion and absorption. I surmise this ingredient was also added to balance out the affect the Citrus Aurantium can have on Blood Pressure.

Fake JS Slim capsules may cause sever side effects. Ensure you only buy the Original JS Slim Tablets from an authorised JS Slim distributor.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: My wife and I grew up in Louisiana, but we LOVE the ocean. Ever since we honeymooned in Maui we've been going back to vacation as often as we can. As our family grew, we found Hawaii to be the perfect place to take the kids. They couldn't get enough of the ocean. They were just amazed the first time we took them snorkeling - they said, 'Cool, it's like swimming in giant a fish tank!' There was no question, we had to invest in our own 'Hawaii beach house.' We hope you'll enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer. You'll want to keep coming back too! Sandy & Gary, Baton Rouge, LA

Your cruise in detail
14 Night Mediterranean & Adriatic cruise departing from Athens to Barcelona onboard Royal Princess.
Royal Princess is sure to delight its 3,600 passengers with exciting new innovations and signature features. Among her highlights, the new Royal Princess will offer:
An even larger and expanded atrium with additional entertainment and casual dining options.
The SeaWalkSM & SeaView Bar – a first-of-its-kind enclosed walkway extending from the ship's top deck and a port side cantilevered bar, each with glass floors and sweeping ocean views.

Our largest top-deck pool ever, offering another Princess first -- a dazzling evening water and light show
An enhanced Movies Under the Stars screen - the largest yet!
Highlights of this cruise:
Khios, Greece
Khios is revered as the birthplace of blind Homer, the bard whose epics "Iliad" and "Odyssey" mark the very origins of Western literature. In fact, archeologists believe that Chios town has been inhabited since 2000 B.C.
During the course of its long and turbulent history, the island has been controlled by Greek and Italian city-states as well as the Roman and Ottoman Empires. (Khios was the site of an infamous 1822 massacre during the long struggle for Greek independence from Ottoman rule.) The island is also the source of mastic - an aromatic gum gathered from Khios' lentisk tree. Mastic has been a highly prized ingredient in cosmetics and medicines since Antiquity. The island's "Mastic Villages" were built between the 14th and 16th centuries to control and protect the trade's enormous profits.
Rhodes, Greece
The largest and arguably the most beautiful of the 12 islands forming the Dodecanese, Rhodes has long played a major role in history. Lying just 12 miles off the coast of Turkey, the island straddles the sea-lanes linking Egypt, Southern Europe and the Holy Land. Rhodes Town bears witness to that long history. The ancient city features a classical stadium and the ruins of the Temple of Apollo. The "old" city is a walled town with medieval buildings and streets harking back to the days of the Crusades. The new town is a Mecca of luxury resorts lining the island's picturesque Mandaraki Harbor.
The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is reputed to have once stood guard over the harbor. Today, the bronze statues of a stag and doe top the two columns marking the harbor entrance.
Athens (Piraeus), Greece
The past maintains a vibrant presence in the cradle of Western civilization. Atop the Acropolis, the serene Parthenon sails above the commotion of the modern city. The tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were performed in the Theater of Dionysus at the foot of the Acropolis. On Pnyx Hill, citizens of a fledgling democracy gathered to cast their votes on Athens' destiny. Then there is the hustle and bustle of the modern city, a metropolis of 4.5 million that spreads out from the foot of Mt. Lycabettus and across the plain. Packed with busy shops and lively tavernas, modern Athens is a colorful counterpoint to classical Greece.
Piraeus is the port city for Athens and has been Athens' port of entry for over two millennia.
Santorini, Greece
Did the catastrophic volcanic eruption that ravaged Santorini circa 1600 B.C. destroy Crete's ancient Minoan civilization - and give birth to the myth of Atlantis? In 1967, archaeologists on Santorini unearthed the remains of a Bronze Age city that may have been home to as many as 30,000 people. Whether the Lost Continent of Atlantis is rooted in myth or reality, an undisputed fact remains. The eruption created a caldera - and one of the most dramatic land and seascapes in the entire Mediterranean. On Santorini, whitewashed buildings cling to vertiginous cliffs that plunge to a turquoise sea. Part of the Cyclades Archipelago, the three-island group of Santorini, Thirasia and uninhabited Aspronisi present the traveler with unforgettable vistas.
The island has had a number of names throughout history - from Strongyle or "Round" to Thera in honor of an ancient hero. Santorini is more recent and stems from the island church dedicated to St. Irene - Santa Rini to foreign sailors.
Note: Santorini is an anchorage port: passengers transfer to shore via shore tender.
Kotor, Montenegro
Kotor lies at the head of Boka Bay. Bordered by towering limestone cliffs, the winding bay is actually Southern Europe's longest and most dramatic fjord. The port itself is a medieval gem: its narrow, asymmetrical streets are lined with ancient stone houses, old palaces, and churches dating from the 12th century. Kotor is also your gateway to the cultural and scenic wonders of Montenegro, from the old royal capital at Cetinje to the marshes and wildlife of Lake Skadar National Park.
Kotor is renowned for its nightlife: the streets of the old port are lined with pubs, taverns and cafés. The city is also host to a renowned summer carnival.
Kotor is an anchorage port. Passengers transfer to shore via ship's tender.
Messina, Italy
Messina has played a major role in European history since its founding as a Greek colony in the 8th century B.C. During the Roman Empire, the city was a major port and commercial center, during the Middle Ages, Messina was the major port of departure for Crusaders. History has also left its scars: a massive earthquake leveled much of the city in 1908 and the World War II campaign for Sicily devastated Messina. Yet Messina emerged from that devastation with some of its historic treasures intact, including the 12th-century Annunziata dei Catalani Church. Messina is also your gateway to the rugged beauty of southeast Sicily, from the seaside resort of Taormina to Mt. Etna.
Between the fall of Rome and the 1861 unification of Italy, the Arabs, the Normans, the Germans, the Spanish and the French ruled Sicily.
Naples, Italy (for Capri & Pompeii)
Italy's third-largest city, Naples is a bustling metropolis famed for it stately buildings, crowded streets, pizza - and notoriously bad traffic. However, this beautiful city is rich in centuries-old culture and customs. Naples is also your gateway to the Isle of Capri, the fabled Amalfi Coast and the ruins of Pompeii, buried in ash by the cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
Naples boasts an ideal location, with both the ruins of Roman cities and the stunning Amalfi Coast in easy reach.
Barcelona, Spain
The 1992 Summer Olympics revealed to the world what Europeans and seasoned travelers already knew - Barcelona is one of the world's greatest treasures. Vibrant and earthy, commercial and cultural, this city of two million residents is the capital of Spain's autonomous region of Catalonia. Stroll along the wide, tree-lined promenades of Las Ramblas and marvel at the spires of Gaudi's Basilica La Sagrada Familia. Or visit the former Olympic Ring on the hill of Montjuic - also home to world-class parks, fountains and museums. Barcelona, which nurtured such artistic giants as Picasso, Dali, Miro and Casals, is definitely a traveler's paradise.

Once is the fifth studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released on 7 June 2004 by Spinefarm Records and Nuclear Blast. It is the last album to feature Tarja Turunen on lead vocals.

Hawks credit magical season to team-first approach
By Jahmal Corner
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Atlanta Hawks have blindsided the National Basketball Association this season, surging to the top of the standings with a selfless style as refreshing as their emergence.
No one considered the Hawks (52-14) a title contender before the season's start, but here they are leading the Eastern Conference by a comfortable margin and a half-game from the best mark in basketball ahead of Monday's game in Sacramento.
What has set them apart is how they work together.
"It's a beautiful group, no one really cares who gets the shine," Atlanta point guard Jeff Teague told Reuters prior to his team's win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
"Coach (Mike Budenholzer) has done a great job of getting guys that fit (together). "When you have that on the floor it's hard to beat."
The Hawks have certainly proven that, arriving as a true contender with a 19-game win streak that began in December and included a perfect record in the month of January.
Now the season's surprise package are heading toward their first division, and regular season conference titles since 1994.
The Hawks are not without star power, sending four players to February's All-Star Game in Teague, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and Al Horford. But the All-Star selections were as much a nod to the team's success as they were individual honors. Continued...

There are two basic tasks that any computer system needs to accomplish:
- storage
- computation
Distributed systems allow to solve the same problem that you can solve on a single computer using multiple computers – usually, because the problem no longer fits on a single computer.
Distributed systems need to partition data or state up over lots of machines to scale. Adding machines increases the probability that some machine will fail, and to address this these systems typically have some kind of replicas or other redundancy to tolerate failures.
Where is the flaw in such reasoning?
It is the assumption that failures are independent. If you pickup pieces of identical hardware, run them on the same network gear and power systems, have the same people run and manage and configure them, and run the same (buggy) software on all of them. It would be incredibly unlikely that the failures on these machines would be independent of one another in the probabilistic sense that motivates a lot of distributed infrastructure. If you see a bug on one machine, the same bug is on all the machines. When you push bad config, it is usually game over no matter how many machines you push it to.

You are here: Home Reviews Elidel (pimecrolimus)
Elidel cream is the second of two new products for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Its efficacy has primarily been demonstrated in placebo-controlled studies. Elidel exhibited poorer efficacy than steroids in the studies, but Elidel can be used for longer continuous periods of time. The most frequently occurring adverse effect is a transient burning sensation at the application site. Elidel therapy costs roughly 5-10 times more than steroid therapy, but about the same as treatment with the other new product (Protopic).
Treatment with Elidel may be attempted in steroid-intolerant patients or for the treatment of sensitive areas (e.g. the face) on which (Class I) steroids have had an inadequate effect.
Elidel 1% cream (pimecrolimus) was marketed on Monday, 19 August 2002, and is thus the second of two new macrolide creams for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. The first was Protopic ointment (tacrolimus).
Elidel is applied twice daily at the first sign of symptoms, and therapy is continued until symptoms resolve. Elidel can be applied to any skin area, but not to the mucous membranes, and it may be used concomitantly with moisturising creams. Clothing or sunscreen should be used to minimise exposure of the skin to sun or other forms of ultraviolet light while treatment is ongoing.
Elidel is indicated for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis; Protopic for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Both therapies can be used for adults and children above two years of age (but not between three months and two years of age. Since authorisation in Denmark will also be valid in other countries, the decision was made that more studies with children between three months and two years old must be conducted before Elidel can be authorised for this age group.) The immunomodulatory potential of Elidel is less than that of Protopic, so the former may be prescribed by all physicians but the latter only by specialists in certain fields. The efficacy and adverse drug effects of Elidel and Protopic are not directly comparable. Unlike Elidel, Protopic has demonstrated the same level of efficacy as low- and medium-potency steroids (Classes I and II, but not Class III).
Placebo-controlled studies have shown that Elidel has both an acute and a prophylactic effect on flares in patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. However, it exhibited poorer efficacy when compared with steroids in the following studies.
A three-week dose-response study of patients with moderate atopic dermatitis found Elidel 1% less efficacious than betamethasone valerate (a Class III steriod). The median change in EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) was 37.9% and 64.1% respectively for the two products.
In a one-year study of 658 patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, Elidel exhibited significantly poorer efficacy than a combination therapy of triamicinolone (a Class II steriod for areas on the body and the extremities) and hydrocortisone (a Class I for the face, neck and other sensitive areas). The average change in EASI was 3.85% for Elidel and 9.57% for the steroid combination treatment.
Elidel does not elicit skin atrophy. Adverse events are local and short-term burning or itching, but their incidence in the above-mentioned one-year study was significantly higher than in the steroid group.
Elidel should not be used concomitantly with topical steriods on the same area of skin, but other steroid therapy (oral, nasal, inhalation) may be used. There is a theoretical possibility that Elidel may weaken the efficacy of vaccinations, so vaccinations should be administered during treatment-free intervals.
Elidel costs roughly the same as Protopic, but about 5-10 times more per gram than other therapies, e.g. the steroids it was compared with in studies (examples are prices at 2 September 2002). General reimbursement is currently not granted for Elidel.
