Over the course of Phase I, patients have not experienced negative effects while taking SAV001-H
The first
HIV vaccine
for prevention has had a successful Phase I Clinical Trials in the United States, and is preparing to move on to Phase II and Phase III.
The preventative HIV vaccine (called SAV001-H) was developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and a team of researchers at the University of Western Ontario's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry as well as researchers from Sumagen Co. Ltd. Unlike other HIV vaccines that underwent clinical trials, SAV001-H contains a killed whole HIV-1 rather than just one specific part of HIV as an antigen or genetic vaccine using recombinant DNA.
Phase I of clinical trials for the first HIV preventative vaccine started in March 2012.
Infected men and women
ranging from 18-50 years of age were separated into two groups, where one received SAV001-H and the other a placebo.
Over the course of Phase I, patients have not experienced negative effects while taking SAV001-H. This includes signs/symptoms, laboratory toxicities and local reactions.
"We have proven that there is no safety concern of SAV001-H in human administration and we are now prepared to take the next steps towards Phase II and Phase III clinical trials," said Dr. Dong Joon Kim, spokesperson for Sumagen. "We are delighted to be one step closer to the first commercialized HIV vaccine."
Also, interim data showed a large increase in HIV-1 antibody formations after SAV001-H was given to patients.
The humoral immune responses still need to be analyzed, but these initial results are promising. This could make SAV001-H the first commercially available HIV prevention vaccine in the United States at some point.
There has been great progress for preventative HIV drugs in the U.S. lately. Back in July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the
HIV prevention pill called "Truvada."

Wednesday night ANC 2C had it's January meeting. Check out the recap and the fallout on the Lifein MVSNA blog.
ANC 2C has long been considered dysfunctional. Recently elected SMD 2C04 commissioner Theresa Sule campaigned on change yet nominated and voted to keep Doris Brooks as chair of the ANC.
For those unfamiliar with Doris, hears what MVSNA VP Si Kailian had to say:
Doris is not competent to be chair. period. She does not return phone calls, she does not read her mail, she has trouble attending meetings, she never writes her own letters and she never uses email. She does not share any information with the community or her fellow commissioners. This is absolutely unacceptable and I ask the 3 other commissioners, particularly ANC 2C04 Commissioner Sule – who nominated Commissioner Brooks as chair, voted for her, and thus ensured that she retained the leadership position – to please consider the will of the constituents of ANC 2C and find a solution other than what transpired tonight. We want representation, we want to know what is going on in this community and if the business of the Commission is flowing to Commissioner Brooks it stops there. We, including the Commission will be in the dark with no voice because we will never see a scrap of paper. Commissioner Brooks' history is very clear.
Reading the recap it sounds like the resident who volunteered to conduct the election was so distraught she got up and left in the middle of it.

Constant-energy images of spin excitations of iron pnictides and its comparison with RPA/DMFT calculations. From: Doping dependence of spin excitations and its correlations with high-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides, Nature Communications 4, Article number: 2874
View full-size image
Superconductors are materials where below a certain critical temperature (Tc) all electrical resistance disappears. Discovered in 1911, superconductors have the potential to revolutionise the ways in which we store and transport electricity. However, for seven decades the highest critical temperature for a superconductors was 23K (-230°C), impractical for most applications. In 1986 the discovery of high temperature superconductors by IBM researchers provided hope for room temperature superconductivity, with a barium-lanthanum-copper oxide that had a critical temperature of 35K. Subsequently a host of so-called cuprate superconductors have been identified, but the holy grail of room temperature superconductivity has yet to be realised.
Iron based superconductors, discovered in 2008, have superconducting transition temperatures up to 55K – higher again than conventional superconductors. They are interesting because they show that the famous cuprate superconductors are not the only possible route to high superconducting transition temperatures. The iron based superconductors have similarities with the cuprates (e.g. the superconductivity takes place in sheets) and differences (e.g. the starting materials which need to be 'doped' to push in or pull out a small fraction of the electrons from the sheets to make them superconductors are metals rather than insulators). Studying a second, rather different, class of high-Tcmaterials offers the opportunity to find what really matters in the quest to push Tc higher in these or a future family of superconductors.
What both cuprate and iron-based superconductors appear to have in common is that the origin of the force that causes the electrons to pair up and produce the superconducting state almost certainly arises from the fluctuation of the magnetic moments in the materials. Systematic studies are key to understanding the nature of these fluctuations and their connection to superconductivity.
Pengcheng Dai and co-workers at ISIS including Toby Perring and E. Goremychkin used the MERLIN and MAPS instruments to study the magnetic fluctuations in hole doped (electrons removed) and electron doped (electrons added) variants of the most widely studied iron-based superconductor.
Prof Dai says "From the mass of data we were able to pull out two key common elements: superconductivity appears to require both high energy magnetic fluctuations (much more than an order of magnitude larger that the characteristic energy scale associated with the superconducting transition temperature), and low energy magnetic fluctuations that couple to metallic-like electrons. It is only because of the comprehensive mapping of the magnetism in absolute units we could perform on MAPS and MERLIN that we could reach this conclusion."

Bundesliga preview: Germany's two successful Champions League sides meet
Two of Germany's Champions League sides meet on Saturday evening in the pick of this weekend's Bundesliga matches.
Last Updated: 20/09/13 7:41am
Schalke, who cruised past Steaua Bucharest 3-0 on Wednesday night, host Bayern Munich, who defeated CSKA Moscow by the same scoreline on Tuesday, in an intriguing encounter at the Arena AufSchalke.
With the Royal Blues winning their last three games without conceding a goal, Bayern's 30-game unbeaten streak is at risk in Gelsenkirchen while Schalke have no intention of interrupting their recovery after a difficult start to the season.
"We know we're underdogs, but we've got realistic chances of winning or getting a point," said midfielder Julian Draxler.
A glimpse at the statistics does little to support the Germany international's feeling, with Bayern winning their last five games against Schalke - all since goalkeeper Manuel Neuer switched clubs.
"Bayern won everything going last year so it's not going to be easy," said Schalke coach Jens Keller.
"But we've kept three clean sheets in a row and I'm particularly pleased about that."
A win might not be enough to take Bayern to the top of the Bundesliga, though, since Borussia Dortmund, who lost their Champions League opener to Napoli on Wednesday night, can extend their lead at the top with a sixth straight win at Nurnberg.
Bayer Leverkusen could also steal a march on Pep Guardiola's men with victory at Mainz while Hannover could draw level on points by picking up their fourth win of the season against Augsburg, who have won their last three games in a row, setting a new club record in the process.
The weekend's first game sees Eintracht Braunschweig head to Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday night, still searching for their first win of the season.
Saturday also sees the northern derby between Hamburg and Werder Bremen in the first game since Hamburg parted company with coach Thorsten Fink.
Wolfsburg host Hoffenheim while Germany's Europa League representatives Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt are in action on Sunday against Hertha Berlin and at Stuttgart respectively.

Ana Beatriz Miniatures
Contrary to what you see, the photos you're looking at aren't just shots of the inside of someone's craft or music room. It's fine, go ahead and do a double-take. They're in fact miniature recreations of the real thing by Brazil's Rita de Cássia Baduy Pires of Ana Beatriz Miniatures, set on a ratio of 1:7.8 inches. The meticulous artist with even more nimble fingers has been working on her art for 20 years, conceiving her own scale to differentiate her work from regular dollhouse dimensions.
Pires actually makes every single piece in her artistic dioramas—violins, copper pots in a kitchen, Japanese teapot—which are created from wood, paper, clay and scrap metal in her atelier in Curitiba. She comes up with different scenes under their respective themes, with film and music the most requested and are those that happen to require the most detail. Custom orders always float in from clients who want miniature recreations of real-life places. When asked about the most difficult request she's ever received, Pires cites having to create 12 old businesses from her city for a show. The smallest she's done was a confectionery shop inside of a can (pictured).
The satisfaction of her work extends to the very end, when she's documenting the completed work on film, playing with angles to trick delighted viewers into believing her made-up world.
Her mini-dioramas come in three main sizes, 9x5.5x1.8 inches, 4x5x1.8 inches and 12x5.5x1.8 inches, and begin at $35. Orders can be made through her by writing to to the contact listed on her website.

One look at the retro artwork on the cover of this travel tome will tell you what's in store for you—a visit down memory lane the length of the U.S. Following the 3,000-mile Lincoln Highway—much of it has been replaced or renamed—from New York City's Times Square to San Francisco Bay, Wallis (Route 66: The Mother Road) expertly captures the oft-forgotten and offbeat sights and tales of an America bypassed by superhighways. Most every town, restaurant, mom-and-pop store the author encounters along "The Main Street Across America" has seen better days, but Wallis still takes the time to celebrate their classic architecture and down-home recipes. With an eye for details and a gift for storytelling, he moves just as smoothly between the role of tour guide and yarn spinner as he does between the road's history and its current incarnation. The juxtaposition between old and new is further underlined by the presentation of classic images and new photographs by Williamson. With a chapter dedicated to each of the 13 states that the highway passes through, this book will delight those looking to uncover their local roots as well as adventurers yearning for that American rite of passage—a cross-country road trip. (July)
From the Big Apple to the Bay
Wouldn't it be great to get into your 1966 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon, load up the tank with 18¢-per-gallon gas from your local Cities Service, Richfield, Enco, Flying A or Humble station, and drive from coast to coast on one of America's most scenic and history-laden highways? Well, Michael Wallis (author of the classic Route 66) and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Michael S. Williamson have conspired to allow us to return to yesteryear and motor along The Lincoln Highway.
The Lincoln Highway was America's first transcontinental highway, conceived in 1912 and completed in time for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Indianapolis Motor Speedway founder Carl Fisher was the chief architect, proponent and fundraiser for the project, though he was later joined by Packard Motor Car Company president Henry Joy. Early on, the authors make it clear that this is a road for travelers, not tourists, so if you are comforted by the modernity of the Interstate roadbed and the endless parade of Wendy McStuckey's Taco King food courts and Quality Comfort Motel 8 Inns, the Lincoln Highway is not your preferred route. If, however, you hanker to start the morning with a frosty mug of Minute Man Root Beer and then wander through the Studebaker National Museum and Archives in nearby South Bend, Indiana, this is an outstanding summer vacation guide for you and your family.
Jam-packed with gorgeous photos and illustrations from along the route, The Lincoln Highway will no doubt confer the sort of cachet to this (inter-)stately thoroughfare that Route 66 has for so long enjoyed. If only Nat King Cole were around to sing "Spend your day/On the Lincoln Highway."

Giant/Stop & Shop Give Cleaning Supplies 'VIP' Treatment
LANDOVER, Md. and QUINCY, Mass. -- Giant Food, LLC and the Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. rolled out lower prices on bleach, laundry detergent, fabric softeners and other cleaning supplies Friday, in the latest phase of the Ahold-owned banners' Value Improvement Program (VIP).
LANDOVER, Md. and QUINCY, Mass. -- Giant Food, LLC and the Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. rolled out lower prices on bleach, laundry detergent, fabric softeners and other cleaning supplies Friday, in the latest phase of the Ahold-owned banners' Value Improvement Program (VIP).
"We are receiving enthusiastic comments from shoppers who notice and appreciate our lower prices on fruits and vegetables and paper products," said Giant-Landover/Stop & Shop consumer advisor Andrea Astrachan in a statement. "And many fellow moms are grateful for our lower prices on diapers and other items in our baby aisle because it saves them both time and money. Now, to provide customers with even greater value, we've lowered everyday prices on many national brands in our household cleaner aisle as well."
Not everything in a given category will receive lower price, but most will, Stop & Shop spokesman Robert Keane explained to Progressive Grocer, adding that the company has changed the way it does business in some respects, to enable it to reduce prices across categories, although he declined to give specifics. Prices are cut on an item-by-item basis, he said, and not according to a blanket formula.
As well as reduced prices on many cleaning supplies, Stop & Shop and Giant have responded to customer requests for "green" cleaning products by introducing in the majority of their stores a couple of months ago "Healthy Home," a product line offering a full range of such items.

Walking into a conference knowing you are probably one of the poorest people there by at least several million dollars is a surreal feeling. But that's how it goes for journalists who attend hedge fund industry events like the Bloomberg Hedge Funds Summit, held Tuesday at the Signature Theatre in New York.
Once you make your way past the snack bar — stocked with kale and beet chips, Naked juice, artisanal cookies and a make-your-own parfait station — you find yourself amid a swirl of pastel or bold patterned Hermés ties under navy pinstriped suits. You might even encounter a pair of opalescent rhinestoned stilettos (see below) on your way into the auditorium to hear some of the industry's biggest names talk shop.
So what did they say?
The big takeaway from the Summit was that the hedge fund community isn't exactly eager to enter into the mainstream and embrace the "average" investor.
"[Hedge funds] don't want to take in large amounts of money in small tickets; they want to know their investors," said Eric Siegel, global head of hedge fund research and management at Citi Private Pank. "A lot of managers don't want to run that type of money."
So-called "average" investors — which is to say someone who doesn't qualify as high net worth, such as, well, a twentysomething 401(k) participant at a media company — are clamoring for more liquid alternative products broadly, and hedge funds specifically. Essentially, average investors want the ability to invest in hedge funds, but they don't want to make the same long-term commitment that goes along with that type of investment. They want to be able to pull their money when they need cash or things go bad, which is something hedge funds can't afford to allow, as they need a stable pool of cash to survive and would risk collapse if there were to be a run on their funds.
As such, hedge fund managers are reluctant to create products that fit the average investor's criteria, even if they are willing to take "small ticket" investments.
"The vast majority of our approved funds do not have a more liquid product set and don't seem to have any interest in that," Siegel said. "A lot of hedge fund managers today are very scared of what happened to their businesses in 2008, with the fast money coming in, and if you allowed less affluent, less sophisticated investors into these funds, that would absolutely be fast money."
A couple of panelists did support the idea of opening hedge funds up to the commoners, however.
"The world is our oyster! There will be a lot of opportunities to make money," said Mitch Petrick, managing director and head of global market strategies at The Carlyle Group, which has about $32 billion in assets. He noted that in the U.S. there is about $19 trillion that sits in savings accounts and $5 trillion in defined contribution and IRAs each. He continued: "Those investors are underrepresented in the alternative space. In the financial crisis, a lot of those plans did not do very well. There is an opportunity in our space to create a product set for that group to outperform like an institutional investor. In that savings pool is an overreliance on cash, and most have no exposure to the tremendous growth in the emerging markets."

The Morning Show.. Show is 1 Yr. Old! [PICS & VIDEO]
Switching from 6pm to 6am sounded like a hell of change, but a year later it seems like it's worked out ok! Thanks to YOU all.
A year ago I woke up maybe earlier than I've ever risen before. Why would I do such a crazy thing!!??
I grew up listening to some of the best radio in the world coming out of Boston. My favorite was the Lauren & Wally Morning Show. I still don't think anyone, anywhere touches that show. They're still on today too! I listened to them all the way way back in junior high school until left for college! They're still funny as ever and still killing it every morning in Boston. This time though, it was my turn. So on August 5th 2013, I moved to the other side of the broadcast clock (which used to be a 6pm start time for me) and I wished a good morning to Lauren & Wally, my new friends on the different side of the clock and the CYY Morning Show.. Show was underway. It's been a great run so far.
What can I say! Sure I miss sleeping in, but you folks in the morning have made it worth while to get my ass up out of bed and slap some stuff together to help you get your day going. Before we get year #2 rolling, lets take a quick peek at the past year shall we? (If you have other things to do, that's cool too)
Our good buddy Kurt Baker was my Friday guest host for the first few months. Kurt would go on to bring his musical talents and Haribo Gummy Bears to Spain, where he'd made a name for himself over the years in the music scene. Most of us figured Kurt would be back in a month or two tops…. he's still over there! Doing great, dating hot Spanish chicks and he even started another band in aside from his solo stuff.
With Kurt gone, I had to find another to join me on Fridays to kick off the weekend. Who better than the "King of Maine", a CYY favorite son, a CYY freak since 95′ and the owner of the biggest single ever to come out of the State of Maine (of course "I'm Awesome"). Armed with at least 2-3 large Dunkin Ice Coffees, Friday's have been a blast with Spose!
At the start of the Bruins 2013-14 Season, the NESN Bruins team came by with the Black and Gold Tour to visit the CYY Morning Show.. Show. Months later in the Cup Playoffs we'd all would throw air fists at our TV's as the B's got smacked around like bullies during recess by the Canadians!
On Mondays, we come out of a busy box office weekend. People love to go to the movies on the weekends, so I brought on board a movie/TV/pop culture/comic book nut and a good Portland local friend; Gerald Walker.
Local Music Connected has been a great new way to support and promote local music; something CYY does better than ANYONE, ANYWHERE. During this past year and so far, we had visits from The Ghost of Paul Revere, KGFREEZE, Sygnal To Noise, Toughcats and Endless Jags. Looking forward to many, many more local visits on the Show.. Show.
It was nice to see S.L.A.M the local arm of the world of Lady's Arm Wrestling pop by for a visit. These girls have a lot of fun, kick much ass and help raise some money at the same time at their events. I tried hard not to piss any of them off during their time with me.
As you know the CYY Morning Show.. Show runs on Dunkin. Every now and then we run into Cuppy himself! Herself. I haven't figured that one out yet. I look forward to running into Arnold Palmer sometime too! Man I love those Arnold Coolata's! Hot damn they good!!
I caught wind of this 12 yr. old drummer from Windham, Tyler Briggs. I posted his video on our FB page and you people went NUTS for it. So we had him in on the Show.. Show with me to play live drums in the studio! Great kid, great family. The future of local music seems secure and bright with talented kids like Tyler!
We've had great special guests stop by and phone into the Show.. Show like comedians Bob Marley and Owen Benjamin and of course self pleasuring coach, Dr. Sadie. That was fun…when she called… yeah that was cool. Lotta fun and really cool and stuff.
Earlier this year I finally accomplished something I've wanted to do for years; Curl! If you remember around the time of the games of the Olympic.. uh, games, we had the good Dr. Jeffrey Dutch on the phone with us for Curling reports live from the Belfast Curling Club here in Maine! After a string of comprehensive and entertaining calls with the Doc (maybe painful calls to others), I made it up to Belfast and began my stellar career of semi-awful Curling.
But the best part has really been you all listening to the Show.. Show and meeting up with so many cool people. Thanks a lot for being so good to me the past year. It's not easy listening to just one person in the morning on radio I'm sure. We're all so used to morning show gangs/crews, hardy har har stuff. I'm ok with keeping it simple if you are? You, me, some friends and the music. What else do you want in the morning!?!
Oh and the Celtics score too! We've gotta have those.

1. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&Tbudone Jan 18, 2011 10:06 PM (in response to dandrolett)
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??? This has been planned since Verizon purchased Alltel 20 months ago. THE US GOVERNMENT FORCED Verizon to sell certain markets to ATT. It has nothing to do with Verizon biting off more than they could choose. If they had their way , they would had loved to keep all customers. But the government said no.
You must have a number from a different area than St Johns (Clinton Cty) as Verizon exchange numbers stayed with Verizon and Alltel numbers converted to Verizon.
So there is not a covert plan to switch customers to ATT. It has been well known for a long while.
Which store did you purchase these new phones from and when??? Was it a corporate store??? What is your area code and prefix? I believe those with numbers from those areas convert in March.
2. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&Tdandrolett Jan 18, 2011 10:14 PM (in response to budone)
We have Lansing numbers, (517) 331 prefix. We've had these numbers for 10 years through three carriers. I just switched to Verizon from Sprint on December 15th, and was told nothing about this by the CSR at the time I signed up. If he had informed me of this, I would have stayed with Sprint in the interim while exploring other options.
Here's what the CSR at Verizon told me. AT&T will send us new phones and require us to activate these phones and switch to their network. She said, however, that if I wanted to stay with Verizon, I would have to activate the new AT&T phones and switch my account to AT&T. I could then immediately call Verizon, re-sign with Verizon, reactivate my current phones and immediately re-port my numbers back to Verizon (of course, who knows how long "immediately" is in the wireless world?). I would then have to contact AT&T, tell them that I have activated and deactivated their new phones, at which time I would have to mail those phones back to AT&T. Sounds like a lot of hassle with a risk of losing my numbers and service in the meantime.
Now, are you telling me that if I change our phone numbers to the 989 area code now, I won't have to go through all this hassle?
3. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&Tdandrolett Jan 18, 2011 10:18 PM (in response to dandrolett)
Also, my phones were not purchased at a store, but driectly from Verizon over the phone. Like I said, the CSR didn't mention anything about any FCC ruling that would affect my account.
4. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&Tbudone Jan 18, 2011 10:40 PM (in response to dandrolett)
Did you receive a letter stating you would be switching to ATT or did a rep tell you this??? Was this a corporate store??
I am really confused as the exchange is a Lansing exchange and nothing has changed there. Verizon customers will be Verizon customers.
When you log into your account, is that where it is stated you will go to ATT???
Also if you are forced to switch, the CSR was correct in how it works. But I can not find any info that shows you would have to. You do live in Clinton County, correct????
5. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&TDamos Feb 4, 2011 9:34 AM (in response to budone)
While you are correct about one thing, this sale has been in the works for sometime, however while it is not a secret no one corprate or otherwise working with/for verizon is going out of there way to tell people about it. Also your comments about this shouldnt effect you because "_" may be inacurate, and I could be wrong here but from what I have been told your phone number has nothing to do with it, I personaly am one of the sad customers being sold to AT&T, when I first signed with verizon 6+ years ago I lived in an area that was primarily Verizon however at the time of them buying AT&T I was living in an area that was not a verizon area (however still had no connection problems on the verizon network, one of the many reason I love them as a carrier) Anyone living in these areas was placed in what they call a "Trust" market and a certain pecentage of these "Trust" accounts had to be sold to other carriers not sure if AT&T is the only one or if there were other carriers who bought accounts or not but thats beside the point. From what I understand the majority of the "Trust" areas were areas that prior to the buy out were primarily Alltel areas. As to the OP losing your phone numbers will not be an issue re-signing and porting the numbers should not be any different or more difficult than any other time you have ported them as you said you have done so at least once in the past. Also Verizon is not trying to ***** you as the other poster said, nor are they out to ***** new customers, as I said I have been with verizon for 6+ years. But from another person going through this trouble as you are, I do feel your pain. However I have found my silver lining in all of this, AT&T does not charge any fees to cancel so long as you do it within the first 30 days, and I personaly was not up for a new upgrade on my verizon account untill the end of 2012 so when my service transfers I will be able to sign a new verizon contract and get a new 2 year price phone without the wait. As much as this whole thing is a hastle and quite annoying try to find your own silver lining and remember it will only be a few days of the terrible network at AT&T before you can return to the comfort of Verizon.
Also one of the CS reps I spoke to (In store as they tend to listen a bit better and are almost always more polite) told me he himself has a full 5 lines (of course he does work for them why wouldnt he) that were stuck in the "Trust" market and even he cant get out of it, and will have to go through the same trouble we will. Just remember three things, 1. Your not alone, 2. Things will work out, and 3. Almost every bad situation has a silver lining.
6. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&Tbudone Feb 4, 2011 12:21 PM (in response to Damos)
Just to update the last poster. The OP was not part of the trust he lives in the county south of it. The issue came when he ordered a MiFi or a USB Modem online, the system gave him a number in the trust area just north of him.
He has been in contact with corporate and unfortunately he will have to switch at least to make the switch. Then he has contacts to get him back. And his plus, it releases him from his two year contract so he can upgrade sooner if he so wishes.
7. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&TAnn154 Feb 4, 2011 11:27 PM (in response to dandrolett)Damos, fellow trust market customer. Hi! My free at&t phone order has been stuck in processing for the past three weeks. I had an earlier order from October, but I canceled it so I could see if there were more free choices online. There were more choices, but they were still disappointing options.
8. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&TDamos Feb 13, 2011 11:28 PM (in response to dandrolett)Hey Ann, yeah I felt the same way I currently have storm 2 on Verizon and AT&T wanted to give me a curve as the "compairable" phone HA! Yeah because a curve really compares to the S2 however at the last moment they made the torch available to me and I was lucky enough to get my order changed. Mine as well has been "processing" for a while now, does anyone know of a way to find out when for a specific area the change will happen, it sure would be nice to know how long I have before the change. Also don't know if anyone can answer this or not but I was wandering if after the switch when I shut off my then AT&T service do I have to return that phone they sent me or would that be mine to keep (cause I'm greedy and want to get even more out of this trouble then just an early upgrade, i.e. A free brand new phone to sell lol)
9. Re: WARNING: Verizon Wireless is Selling Accounts to AT&TAnn154 Feb 14, 2011 12:04 AM (in response to dandrolett)
I am pretty sure that you have to return the AT&T phone should you opt out within the 30 day start period. Also the last I knew when I called was that the phone was to ship around Feb 22nd.

Not a Humblebrag, but interesting thing just happened...
So I'm leaving my house to meet the family for a late lunch. I get to the end of the street, and running along the parallel street is a girl, 8-9 years old, wearing only a diaper. I roll down the window to try and ask where she's supposed to be, and she keeps running. I get out and follow her for a while, and she runs onto 78 highway and starts running down through traffic.
My daughter was in my car, so I didn't want to follow this girl too far, but some other people had stopped, I made sure they had called 911, and went back to my car.
I get in my car and turn the direction she was running, and she had made it quite a way, and traffic was stopped in all directions. Several older people were trying to grab her and hold her with little success. I'm a SPED teacher, and CPI certified (basically how to hold children who are a danger to themselves or others), so I pull off the road, and go step in to put her in a "child protective hold." She was, understandably, scared out of her mind, unable to communicate, and spent the whole time (till police arrived) trying to hit, kick, and bite me and others (the hold was difficult, as she had no clothes on, and was sweaty from running.
So anyway, cops showed up, got my info, and I left. But now I'm always gonna be wondering what that was all about, if she's safe, etc.
Good on ya.
Does Hootie live close to you? Maybe the roofie wore off and she escaped while he was busy destroying a coffee table.
Seriously though, nice work.
Good man.
Good deed.
Chest bump
No fair! I always get in trouble when I chase and wrestle with sweaty, naked little girls. :(
For real, though, good work. I hope that she's alright, wherever it is that she was returned to.
Nice job.
Wow. That's crazy. 7-8 YO wearing a diaper and can't talk?
Good on you buddy.
good work, sully.
good guy all around. you did what anyone of us would have. 'cept for hootie.
Nice job, Sully!
dam that would freak me out to. Way to go.
Pretty cool. Nice work.
I'm curious, though. How do you get certified in putting a child in a "child protective hold"? For your final exam, do they have midgets run around a courtyard while you try to catch them?

CoverGirl Cheekers Blush Reviews
Great blush!I have tried numerous "department store" brands and always come back to Cover Girl cheekers - there is nothing better. — 8 years, 10 months agoddestes | 4 reviews
Cover GirlThe quality of the product is reflected by the price. The colors are nice and they stay on but you have to use a lot of the product. Overall I would much rather spend $15.00 for MAC blush because it lasts forever and they have a huge color selection. — 8 years, 10 months agoHilda8583 | 20 reviews
Okay StuffDid not really care for this blush. Did not go on good or stay on good — 8 years, 10 months agorebadog413 | 28 reviews

fineethe pigment is fine. i have sensitive skin but it didn't cause my any allergies. the brush is not good at all but you can buy a brush at ELF for only $1. — 8 years, 10 months agoKellyKrunk | 25 reviews
its finethe pigment is nice on cheeks. it gives a nice natural touch to my skin. price is not bad. brush is a really bad applicator so i suggest u get a blush brush. if you're looking for one thats not pricey, i suggest ELF. Its only $1 and it doesn't shed. — 8 years, 10 months agoKellyxAttack | 2 reviews
Okay blushThe blush's lasting duration averages at 3-4 hrs. The colors are fun to play with. But other than that, there's nothing to it. Try Jane blushes! — 8 years, 11 months agoGlamorous | 149 reviews
My perfect ShadeMy shade from Cheekers blush is the Classic pink, Peach, and the Natural Twinkle, I'm using the Natural Twinkle right now. I have no problem with the brush or the colors. I would def. recommend it to anyone. — 8 years, 11 months agosweetnsassy | 8 reviews
long lasting and affordable!I love this blush because it actually stays on all day. I like the color selection too. Its only downfall is the brush that is included is too small. I use my set of makeup brushes anyways, so that doesn't deter me from purchasing it. I like the price as well. Actually, I purchase most of my makeup at Riteaid because its returnable, even if opened, and they have a lot of BOGO free sales. So then the price is too good to pass up! — 9 years agomandie21 | 2 reviews
CoverGirl Cheekers BlushI really like this blush. It comes in a wide array of colors and provides a nice natural looking flush that lasts for hours. Blush is especially key if you have a fair complexion and this blush really lights up and warms your whole face. It has just the right amount of color too. This blush is a winner. Though i'd have to agree with the first reviewer I believe blush is best applied with a full bl...read moreush brush to blend the color easily not the tiny brush it comes with. If you don't own a full lenght blush brush you should invest in one they are really great and make applying blush/bronzer a breeze. — 9 years agoShelleybean | 144 reviews

United Natural Foods Unleashed
Last night's Q4 earnings report sparked a powerful breakout in United Natural Foods (UNFI).
The food wholesaler is up more than 13% on its heaviest volume of the year, putting it in the No. 2 spot on the Russell 2000 gainers list. The surge began with a huge gap-higher open that lifted the stock to new all-time highs. UNFI has tacked on another $3 of upside since the bell and is stabilizing late in the day near $68. ...222 more words left in this article.

STAR TREK 2 Set Photo of Spock Wearing a Volcano Suit
Here's a photo from the set of Star Trek 2 featuring Zachary Quinto as Spock in an interesting looking suit dangling from some wires in front of a green screen. I've got to say, that Quinto looks incredibly uncomfortable wearing this suit that looks like it was built by Tony Stark. The suit is called a Volcano Suit and can obviously withstand insanely hot temperatures. Here's a note that came along with the photo.
After first rehearsing the scene with Spock's stunt double actor, Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of 10 stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene Spock is wearing a 'Volcano Suit' and carrying an unknown piece of equipment with the Starfleet emblem. A volcano is somehow involved in this scene. The crew had a real fire burning off camera to catch the fire reflections on Spock's 'Volcano Suit'.
Well, whatever Spock is doing dropping into some kind of intergalactic volcano, lets hope if works. Do any of you have any ideas on what Spock is trying to do here?

Emery – "Scissors": 2011's We Do What We Want found Emery exploring heavier realms, pretty much just because they could. "Scissors" is a prime example of this experiment's results, which pretty much punches you in the face right out of the gate, but lets up long enough for you to get your head bobbing to the melody – which sticks with you. It's the best of both worlds.
Fleet Foxes – "Lorelai": This might be the single that finally gets this writer hooked on this band. Subtly catchy tracks are often the first step in helping me to appreciate a band's wider catalog. This track off the critically acclaimed Helplessness Blues is neither peppy nor sleep inducing – it slowly draws you in. Even some radio stations are picking this one up (see CD101 in Columbus). Sorry, hipsters.
Thrice – "Anthology": The second single off Major/Minor is also the second from this album to be pushed within Christian markets. The hopeful sounding track, which leads off with prominent optimistic sounding riff serves as a sort of reflection on the band's career. This seems appropriate given their relatively recent announcement of an indefinite hiatus. This track is meant to be neither adrenaline inducing nor melancholy, and it shows.
Wolves at the Gate – "No Rival": This third single off the We Are the Ones EP will likely be the last before Wolves at the Gate releases its debut LP on Solid State Records. Like much of the record, the tune carries worshipful themes amidst semi-generic, albeit enjoyable metalcore elements. The band recently shot a live video for this song at the Basement in Columbus, OH.

You can divide 6 into equal parts of 1, 2, 3, or 6 (but not 4 or 5) because 6 is divisible by these numbers. The rules of divisibility have wide-ranging applications as an easy test for divisibility.
Is 12345 divisible by 5?
Note: 12345 is divisible by 5 if it can be divided into groups of 5 with nothing left over.
A number that consists entirely of 1s (like 1, 11, 111, etc.) is called a repunit. How many digits long is the smallest repunit that is divisible by 9?
For how many different values of \(A\) is \(27A4\) (a four digit number where the third digit is \(A\)) divisible by 6?
For how many different values of \(A\) is the three digit number \(3A6\) even?
Note: \(A\) can be any of the 10 digits from 0 to 9.

Lady Gaga, Oprah Are Forbes' Top Power Celebs
Everyone knows that celebrities make boatloads of money and have near-infinite industry pull, but just where do they all fall? Thankfully, Forbes has charted it all out with their Power Women list, and while Michelle Obama may be the most powerful gal in the world, Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga are the top entertainers.
Oprah's ridiculous $315 million and clout in the TV world easily put her atop the "Media" category, but Gaga's surge as the world's biggest female star (plus her $62 million in the bank) makes her the "Lifestyle" leader.

Have you ever had to nail something high over your head but you couldn't quite reach to get that nail started? Here are a few tips that can make the job easier.
Try placing the nail in the claws of the hammer and start it from that position.
Or, if you happen to have a small disk magnet, you can place it on the head of the hammer and the nail will actually stick right to it.
Lastly, put a small notch in a thin strip of wood and let that hold the nail for you.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- SunEdison (SUNE) was falling 2.05% to $14.39 at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday as the power plant owner and operator continued to decline from its announcement earlier this week that it would indefinitely close its polysilicon manufacturing facility in Merano, Italy, effective immediately.
The company had shuttered the facility in Dec. 2011 as part of its worldwide restructuring plan designed to cut costs and improve competitiveness. SunEdison explored numerous options since that time but ultimately decided "the identified cost reductions were not enough to sustain the economic viability of the plant in the current market environment," according to the press release.
The closing will affect approximately 200 employees and comes in conjunction with the closure over the next 12 months of the associated electronic grade TCS (trichlorosilane) operation, which employs approximately 35 people. The company expects these two closures to record approximately $37 million of fixed asset impairments for the year-ended Dec. 31, 2013.
SunEdison also announced its plan to consolidate its semiconductor crystal operations, which would include the transitioning of small diameter crystal activities in the company's St. Peters, Missouri facility to its other crystal facilities in Italy, Korea and Taiwan. This consolidation, which would take place over the next 12 months, would affect approximately 100 employees in St. Peters.
TheStreet Ratings team rates SUNEDISON INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SUNEDISON INC (SUNE) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, generally higher debt management risk and weak operating cash flow."


text: Clocking in at a lean 80 minutes, Woody Allen's ingenious Zelig takes a clever gimmick—the pseudo-history of a human chameleon in the '20s discovered in old photographs and newsreels—and stretches it as far as it will go on scattered gags and technical wizardry. Shorter and considerably less inspired, the too-similar Man Of The Century, an indie comedy about an obliviously chipper Depression-era newspaperman in contemporary Manhattan, has little more to sustain it than goodwill and a catalog of anachronistic street slang. Shot in appropriately drab black-and-white, the film opens with a silent sequence, complete with vintage title cards (copyright "International Convention Of Buenos Aires"), introducing "Johnny Twennies," an indefatigable columnist for the struggling New York Sun-Telegram. Played with enormous charisma by co-writer Gibson Frazier, the character is given to tossing around buzzwords like "bub" and "moxie" and doesn't perceive a cultural history past Irving Berlin, Theodore Dreiser, and Sinclair Lewis. His relationship with Soho art-gallery proprietor Susan Egan—of which his mother doesn't approve because her name "doesn't appear in the social register"—is strained as he resists her romantic advances and his paper verges on going under. In need of a big scoop to save his career, he pursues an elusive mob kingpin, rebuffing square-jawed heavies with unflappable gusto. Man Of The Century would make a good short feature, but Frazier and director Adam Abraham's thinly conceived story lacks enough invention to prop it up, particularly in its generic vision of modern life. Frazier's encounters with '90s urban creatures and attitudes all strike an ironic note that's repeated in only minor variations. By the time all the characters come together for a show-stopping, Night At The Opera-inspired finale, the premise has lost its charm.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
COPD and high humidity
I quit smoking over 18 years ago, and yet was diagnosed with emphysema 3 years ago. Am considering moving to an area that has high humidity. Will I encounter additional difficulty breathing there? Is one climate more favorable over another? Thank you
Thank you for visiting NetWellness and for your question. Your description of smoking cessation 18 years ago and a diagnosis of emphysema 3 years ago is not uncommon. In some people, lung damage continues even after smoke exposure stops. It was important to quit smoking because these changes would have happened more rapidly.
There is no known ideal climate for people with COPD. Both very humid air and very dry air can affect breathing. There is no way to predict how a person will do in another environment. If you have spent time there, and your COPD was controlled, that may be a good indication. When the humidity is very high, it may be advisable to stay indoors in air conditioning if you have more symptoms. If you have more difficulties in your new environment, a lung specialist may help optimize your medication regimen.

We discussed the fizzled storyline involving Jack and Lila, John's godson and wife. Was it a disappointing aspect of the story structure, or a revelation of the fact that the subplot told us more about John Ames' fears than the actual feelings of Jack and Lila?
CD didn't feel that John Ames was a convincing character and was struck by the narrow perspective of the book regarding Jack's early indiscretion. DC enjoyed the prose, but found the story forgettable; CS skipped over the "tedious" theological reflections, but recommended the audio version of the book. AL struggled to finish Gilead, annoyed by the structure, yet found herself in tears at the end. The scene in which John blessed Jack touched many of us. JS commented on the generational conflict between the fiery, belligerent grandfather and his equally idealistic but pacifist son.
Although JS wasn't entirely positive about the book, she read aloud from a couple of the funniest bits – the food provided to the bachelor minister by the ladies of the congregation, including the "suspiciously Presbyterian" bean salad and the unwanted yet recurring jello salad. She also pointed to a favorite passage toward the end: "It is worth living long enough to outlast whatever sense of grievance you may acquire. Another reason why you must be careful of your health."
CS highly recommends Robinson's book, Home, about the same characters and place, told from a completely different perspective.
Other books and authors recommended during the conversation:
Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain
Penelope Lively
Emma Donoghue, Room]]>
A couple of people commented that they preferred Julia Alvarez' In the Time of the Butterflies for a novel about the Dominican Republic.]]>
We were in agreement as to the excellence of the writing and the powerful descriptions of the natural setting. One reader pointed out the perfection of the first two stories, each of which can stand on its own. Still, we wondered why this book was selected for the Pulitzer Prize. According to the Pulitzer Prize website, Olive Kitteridge won in 2009 for "distinguished fiction by an American author, preferably dealing with American life". They describe the book as "a collection of 13 short stories set in small-town Maine that packs a cumulative emotional wallop, bound together by polished prose and by Olive, the title character, blunt, flawed and fascinating." Take a look at the Pulitzer site for more information, including the other finalists that year.]]>
We split down the middle on this unusual detective story. Some readers never wanted the book to end; others had to force themselves to finish. Those who loved it talked about the vivid setting, the dark yet life-affirming tone, the playfully brilliant writing and quirky characters. Readers who were not amused found the plot over-complex and the Yiddish vocabulary off-putting. I found it enjoyable yet exhausting.
As always, related titles were part of the discussion. Philip Roth's alternative history, The Plot Against America asked, what if Charles Lindbergh had been elected President in 1940 instead of Franklin Roosevelt? Russell Hoban in Riddley Walker and Anthony Burgess in A Clockwork Orange both created new languages for their characters.]]>
Readers were reminded of other recommended titles:
On Thursday evening, June 17th, at 7:30 PM, the Waltham Public Library Book Club met to discuss Louise Erdrich's book, The Master Butchers Singing Club. The book takes place in the fictional town of Argus, North Dakota
Some of the book club members felt that the title was not a good fit. They saw Delphine Watzka as the heroine of this book. In their estimation, the butcher's singing club was more of a sidebar. Others felt that the juxtaposition of butchers who sing like angels was a good one. We all wondered why there is no apostrophe after the word butchers in the title.
One member opined that this book explores the "violence of war", the "violence of an abortion." There is the "quiet beneath the surface of our lives". Roy Watzka, Delphine's father and the town drunk personifies the "violence we do to ourselves and others by excessive drinking".
Click the link below to find out about a stage production of this book.
Many members of the group felt that a lot of what happened in this book could be explained in two words "North Dakota". For example, when members expressed disappointment at the romance that seemed to be building between Fidelis and Delphine, one person said, "Hey, it's North Dakota". Plus, one member noted, "Delphine was always working."
Group members who were familiar with other Erdrich works, felt that this novel was very different from her overall oeuvre.
Everyone loved to hate the character of Tante. One member even felt sorry for her as she went hunting for a position in her fancy metallic suit.
Some members were sad when Cyprian left and were surprised that Delphine did not miss him more.
The revelation about Delphine's birth mother horrified some and made sense to others.
One member speculated that the original version of this book must have talked more about the master butchers singing club. She thought that the editor slashed (butchered?) the original.
In any case, we had a lively and interesting conversation. Tonight's substitute group facilitator is now an ardent fan of Louise Erdrich. I love her use of language and her ability to develop characters who are off the beaten path.
Two butcher's cleavers up!]]>
We had some discussion about how non-judgmental the author really was (or wasn't), how satisfying such episodic storytelling is (or isn't), and how much license Seierstad must have taken in reporting the thoughts of participants in such incidents as Mansur's pilgrimage. Several readers were impressed with Seierstad's vivid descriptions of of Kabul, down to the dust in the houses and the intimate smells within a burka.
We struggled to understand the tribal nature of life for the bookseller's family, and found ourselves angered by the effects of such a strongly hierarchical and patriarchal society. Leila's thwarted efforts to establish a place for herself as a teacher, away from the constant demands of her family, were heartbreaking to read. It was painful to read of Sultan's mercilessness toward the impoverished man who stole some of his postcards. The report of the girl killed by her brothers with her mother's consent, for sitting with a man on a park bench, was enraging and unfathomable.
We talked about the difference between Islam and fundamentalist tribal culture, considering that patriarchal religious fundamentalism and extremism appears in connection with Christianity and other religions as well.
Some readers found the book a reminder of their doubts that our country's involvement in Afghanistan can have a positive outcome for either nation. One mother of an Iraq war veteran spoke up about her need to believe that the military effort is making some difference for the better.
Members suggested a few other titles:
James Michener, Caravans
David Baldacci, The Camel Club
Rory Stewart, The Places In Between
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel
Per Petterson, Out Stealing Horses
None of the characters was terribly popular, but Laura's concrete thinking made her charming to one reader with an affection for kids who have different ways of learning and seeing things. Readers drew a range of different conclusions about which of the sisters were visiting Alex in his rooms.
Atwood captures well the friction and affection between siblings. Her portrait of a father and his family coping with the pain of losing his factory in the face of the Great Depression is poignant. But the same father that is driven to drink and despair at the loss of all of those factory jobs shows stunning insensitivity to his daughter when he arranges her engagement to a business partner, in an inept attempt to save the business.
The most animated discussion came at the end of the meeting, when people tossed around recommendations for other books they liked better than this month's book club selection:
Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood
The Year of the Flood, Margaret Atwood
The Dante Club, Matthew Pearl
The Swan Thieves, Elizabeth Kostova
The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson
The Art of in Racing the Rain, Garth Stein
Scribbling the Cat, Alexandra Fuller]]>
Her connection to the land comes through in gorgeous descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells of her childhood home. Fuller managed to convey the best and the worst of her parents and sister, with mind-boggling subtlety and clarity. Our group commented on the portrayal of such unorthodox parenting, alcohol abuse and the disturbing state of race relations. Fuller managed to write with humor and matter-of-fact compassion for individuals, even while clearly describing a situation fraught with tragedy and brutality.]]>
