@MikeWellsNBA: Pacers have agreed to a 1 year deal with DJ Augustin, according to a source.
BRILLIANT MOVE.... wish it was longer than 1 year though... was gonna buy his jersey... ill get a Mahinmi one now.... anyways LETS GO GET BRAND NOW!!
Even with Plumlee as the third-string backup, that's a good lineup. That means we can still trade Hansbrough (if it's happening) for another asset. What else do we need?
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
Great news. Can anyone tell me why we only did 1 year though? Augustin has potential IMO.
It's sounding like Brand wants to be in Dallas, and Dallas wants to bring in Brand. Match made in Texas.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
@MikeWellsNBA: President Donnie Walsh and GM Kevin Pritchard deserve credit for jumping on Augustin as soon as they could knowing they needed another PG
Am I the only one that wishes Hansbrough would of been involved in this deal?
Baring injuries, Pacers are the second best team in the east on paper, summer needs to end quickly.
"Missouri's former basketball coach Norm Stewart would traditionally have his players stay in Kansas City, Missouri, before playing at Kansas, going so far as to require the team bus to buy its gasoline at a Missouri filling station and reprimanding players who ate in Kansas, as he did not want to put any money into Kansas' economy."- MIZ-ZOU
Back up 2 guard
He starts over Hill if not before the season starts by the midway point.
You'll see.
I don't want to sound condescending, which means to talk down to you by the way
Lol, I doubt it.
I was kind of hoping but only if we had another PF lined up. If we can't get anyone better than I'm glad we didn't give him away.
I'm loving our front office so far, this is what a front office is supposed to do.
That's great news
that's assuming they don't amnesty Haywood.
Nope. Would love to see him shipped out.
He's dead weight.
I'm happy we have him aboard though. His leadership should give the bench a good boost.

I was over Bird a long time ago in the FO. This is coming from a huge Bird fan even.
I guess it's only one year, because he was a starter before, so maybe he wants to see, if he can get another opportunity after this year on another team.
Maybe not wishing, but Hicks expected it back when the conceived deal was a S&T with the Bobcats. Since he became an UFA, it was pointless. But maybe Hansbrough can still be dealt to someone else for an asset? I don't know exactly else we'll need, unless Orlando Johnson truly doesn't pan out, even as a 3rd wing.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I understand he hasn't been impressive but he has had his moments that give some hope that he can be a decent rotation player in the NBA. He is still on his rookie contract too. I am happy the Pacers didn't have to trade him to get DJ. Maybe Tyler doesn't turn out to be much of an NBA player but he is probably a better option than most of the PF free agents the Pacers have a chance at signing. I know Elton Brand is out there but I think he is likely to go to Dallas.

Day 9 (Thursday) of the camp.
The intermediate group started on Mendiani today, and worked through the first few phrases of the solo original.
The advanced group did Soboninkun, including (the complete) solo original. That session was a lot of fun--Soboninkun is one of those rhythms that hovers between 6/8 and 4/4 and really is neither...
The afternoon pyramid was spent rehearsing. The pyramid is complete now, so tomorrow we'll spend time rehearsing and polishing, and maybe add a bit of choreography, but no more new material. I posted a sound clip of the arrangement of Djansa, Macru, Fe 3, and Denadon. (No solos, just short rhythm sections between the arranged breaks.)

One of my favorite breakfasts is Peanut Butter Oatmeal, which I usually make with Extra Thick Rolled Oats cooked in the microwave, using a method I learned from Alanna. Since I've become such an oatmeal fan, I've been wanting to try steel cut oats, but I wasn't sure about the longer cooking time, reported to be as much as 45 minutes on the stove. Then I heard about cooking steel cut oats in the crockpot, and when I tried it, I loved the crockpot version of steel cut oats. I ate them with peanut butter stirred in, and also with agave drizzled over and sprinkled with nuts, which you see in the photo above.
Crockpot Recipe for Steel Cut Oats and Steel Cut Oats with Agave and Pecans

Proud all-around nerd, crafter, and brand-new Assistant Library Director. Give me an engrossing book and a wonderful cup of tea and I'm in heaven.
After being a barista for almost a decade it wasn't until 2010 that I discovered loose leaf tea. Now I'm hooked.
How I use Steepster has been evolving since I joined. Yes, I use it for my personal "to buy or not to buy" info, but I'm enough of a goofball that I hope it can amuse others more often than not.
I've also started to become anal about my tea (times and temps). That's surprised me. I finally realized that I should respect the leaves like I used to respect the beans. I also take my tea plain unless otherwise noted.
There's really nothing remarkable or noteworthy of how I rate teas. I do take it a tiny further step to help clarify the muddled middle grounds for myself. TG is a definite repurchase. Anything below that is less and less likely.

FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. equity indices rallied Friday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to erase losses from two consecutive losing sessions. Stocks also got a lift from Hewlett-Packard's ( HPQ) promising earnings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 120 points, or 0.9%, to 14,001. The index is up 6.8% this year. Breadth within the Dow was positive, as winners outpaced losers 25 to five. Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot ( HD) and Coca-Cola ( KO) were the biggest leaders on the Dow. HP reported Thursday a profit of 82 cents a share on revenue of $28.4 billion. Analysts predicted the PC maker would post earnings of 71 cents a share on revenue of $27.79 billion during its fiscal first quarter. HP said its outlook for the second quarter was for profit of 80 cents to 82 cents a share, and full-year earnings of $3.40 to $3.60 a share, higher than Wall Street's estimate of $3.32. Shares surged 12% on Friday. Pfizer ( PFE), UnitedHealth Group ( UNH) and Alcoa ( AA) were among the biggest decliners on the blue-chip index. Volumes totaled 3.35 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.57 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers beat declining issues by a 3.1-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.6-to-1 ratio on the tech-heavy index. The S&P 500 added 13 points, or 0.9%, to 1,516. The index dropped 0.3% for the week. Nasdaq tacked on 30 points, or 1%, to 3,162. It lost 0.95% for the shortened trading week. No major economic reports were released Friday. Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell spoke at a monetary policy forum at the Grand Hyatt in New York on Friday. Powell said he did not believe the challenges Congress faces as it regards short-term fiscal policy will interfere with the central bank's monetary policy. "No current market signal suggests that the United States is near the point of losing the market's confidence," Powell said at the forum. "The market has every reason to believe -- and apparently still does believe -- that the United States will continue the difficult task of fiscal consolidation until the job is done." Stocks slumped on Thursday after jobless claims rose more than expected and general business conditions came in soft. The early part of Thursday's session showed that equities continued to reel from the minutes of the Fed's January meeting, as it suggested central bankers were more open to scaling back quantitative-easing measures in 2013. Gold futures for April delivery slid $5.80 to settle at $1,572.80 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while futures for April crude oil contracts climbed 29 cents to close at $93.13 a barrel.

A Pilot Study to Assess the Feasibility of Switching, Individuals Receiving Atripla With Continuing Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity, to a Fixed Dose Combination of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine/Rilpivirine
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to investigate the benefits of switching away from efavirenz (which patients are taking in combination with Kivexa® or as part of the combination pill, Atripla®) in patients with central nervous system side effects (such as insomnia {difficulty with sleeping}, bad dreams etc). The investigators in this study will investigate the effect of switching to a single tablet regimen (Eviplera®) containing tenofovir, emtricitabine and rilpivirine. If patients are currently taking Atripla, rilpivirine will be the only new component of the combination.
Rilpivirine is a drug for HIV treatment, licensed for first-line treatment. In combination with Truvada®, it showed fewer side effects when compared to efavirenz in 2 other clinical studies, where patients were starting HIV treatment for the first time.
This study will also investigate the safety (in terms of other side effects and the routine blood tests which we ordinarily use to monitor your treatment) and monitor effectiveness, your viral load and CD4 counts, when you switch treatment to tenofovir/emtricitabine/rilpivirine.

|Official Title:
|A Pilot Study to Assess the Feasibility of Switching, Individuals Receiving Atripla With Continuing Central Nervous System (CNS) Toxicity, to a Fixed Dose Combination of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine/Rilpivirine
- Resolution of toxicity after 12 weeks [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To investigate whether switching individuals with intolerance to efavirenz-containing cART (as Atripla or Kivexa plus Efavarinz) to tenofovir/emtricitabine/rilpivirine is associated with resolution of toxicity after 12 weeks. CNS toxicity will be measured by a questionnaire based on efavirenz SPC and graded based on the ACTG adverse event scale.
- Resolution of toxicity after 24 weeks [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To investigate whether switching to tenofovir/emtricitabine/rilpivirine is associated with resolution of toxicity after 24 weeks. CNS toxicity will be measured by a questionnaire based on efavirenz SPC and graded based on the ACTG adverse event scale.

I drove from Brisbane towards Coffs Harbour on the Saturday, staying with friends overnight near the half-way mark. Not a nice drive because it was pouring with rain. The entire east coast of Australia was covered by dense clouds, and it had been raining steadily for two days already.
On the Sunday morning, I drove through more heavy rain and, having looked at the weather report, which predicted at least another week of more of the same, I decided that I wasn't going to risk staying in a small two-person tent for the whole week without extra protection. So I stopped at a camping store in Coffs Harbour and bought a 4x5m tarp, six poles, rope, and pegs to provide some additional protection from the rain. It set me back almost $200 but, by the end of the week, I was glad I did it…
When I got to Bundagen, most people had arrived, and it was still pouring with rain. A number of people had given up on the idea of camping and the community had made the school hall available for people to sleep in. I decided to brave the weather and put up my tarp and tent. Mohamed "Bangouraké" Bangoura was kind enough to help me get the tarp up, which involved getting very wet for the 20 minutes or so it took to set it up. Fortunately, both of us had good wet weather gear, so it was tolerable.
By mid-afternoon, we started the first drum class. Epizo was assisted by Bangouraké, Sibo Bangoura, and Malin Sylla. The classes at Bundagen take place in a huge (about 12m x 20m) marquee that Rebekah hires for the event each year, erected in a large grassed open space in front of the community hall. Unfortunately, by the time the marquee was set up, the ground was already completely water-logged. For the drum class, that wasn't much of a problem but, the dance class that followed was another story. By the end of two hours of thirty dancers having done their thing, there were large patches of ground that had completely turned to mud, and most of the dancers were mud-spattered up to their hips. There were plenty of jokes going round about mud wrestling…
That was the last time the marquee was used—despite opening all the sides to allow for air flow, the ground did not dry out anywhere near enough during the week to consider using the space at all. Having lost our practice (and performance) space, we did the only other possible thing and ran the remainder of the camp in the community hall. Conditions were quite cramped in there but, with lot of good will from everyone, we managed to make it work in the available space, even for the performance on the Saturday night at the end of the camp.
The rain really provided a challenge for everyone. This was by far the worst weather for Bundagen in its 15-year history. For the first 48 hours, the rain never stopped and was heavy at times. There was a lot of local flooding in the area, and two sections of the Pacific Highway were closed for several hours during that time. The Bellingen Carnival was cancelled for the Sunday because the rain turned the site into a mud bath and made it electrically unsafe.
For the remainder of the week, it rained most of the time. A number of people got flooded in their tents and had to relocate. The leeches were out in force too, with quite a few people carrying multiple bite marks. The heavy showers during the nights also made it difficult to sleep due to all the noise. Fortunately, due to the permanent cloud cover, it didn't get too cold, which was a blessing.
Numbers were down a little from last year: about 53 people or so doing the whole camp, four or five of them doing both drum and dance, and a number of people staying for only part of the week. The largest drumming session I recall had 31 drummers, and largest dance session 32. For the final performance, we had about 50 people, about half dancers and half drummers.
The drummers learned four rhythms, each with intros and breaks:
- Djaa
- Liberté
- Mane
- Koteba
Koteba is a 4/4 rhythm. Epizo taught two accompaniments, the first of which I hadn't come across before:
Koteba Djembe 1:
- Code: Select all
I've come across the second accompaniment before (can't remember which rhythm), but it's also an uncommon one:
Koteba Djembe 2:
- Code: Select all
The dunduns were played ballet style, so I don't have separate parts for dundunba, sangban, and kenkeni. Here is how Malin played the dunduns:
Koteba ballet dunduns:
- Code: Select all
The dancers did Mendiani, Mane, a sabar rhythm, Jondon, Sunu, and Jelidon, all of which included breaks and/or stops. In his usual style, Epizo sort of taught these "on the side" to the drummers, during dance class, which made for quite a learning curve.
Epizo's teaching style is the same as always, but he's softening a little bit more each year Still, he is a demanding teacher: especially from the advanced drummers, he expects concentration and 100% commitment, which got harder and harder as the week went on, with everyone short on sleep… I admire him for dedication though. Every year he teaches this camp, he works incredibly hard, putting absolutely every last ounce of his energy into it and manages to inspire people to reach deep. His style is very different from most other teachers, harder and more demanding. Still, there was plenty of laughter during classes, with Epizo cracking jokes and clowning.
The final performance and party were worth it. The performance went well, without any serious glitches, and the party afterwards truly rocked. We ended up jamming until 2:00am, with the crowning highlight being a short performance by Malin and Epizo on djembe. Those ten or so minutes were truly worth it. I consider Epizo one of the best djembe players in the world. His musicality and technique are absolutely world class.
Overall, this was a great camp, despite the challenging conditions. I'll most likely be there again next year. It's in a beautiful location (usually with really nice weather), and the people are wonderful. If you possibly can, be there for the next one, it really is a great holiday as well as a great camp. Oh yes, the food prepared by the community is simply awesome—it's almost worth attending just for that

Additional Information
LED Lighting is the future!LED feature cutting-edge LED lights. The benefits of LED lighting are astounding. They last far longer than any other type of bulb - usually longer than the lifetime of the item itself. The energy they require in order to produce bright light is far lower than incandescent bulbs or fluorescent bulbs, providing you a significant savings on your electrical bill. Compared to other non-LED , and especially compared to incandescent fixtures, LED easily pay for themselves over their lifetime.
You'll never have to buy replacement bulbs because LED bulbs can last for 30-50,000 hours ... at least 15-20 years with 5 hours per day of use. Imagine the cost savings not having to buy 10 sets of replacement bulbs in that time, plus saving trips to the store and dealing with the inconvenience of old-fashioned lighting!
LED bulbs require much less electrical energy - only a few watts per bulb. Your electrical bill will be lower as a result. If you're put off by LED because of the price, consider it a long-term payoff - overall you will save by joining the LED revolution today!

In Buyer's Guides: Wall Lighting
Not many people really think about how much they can do when faced with blank, white spaces. However, walls are the perfect canvasses, especially when it comes to decorating your home. Installing wall lights are great ways to add flair and decor to what was previously just space, though it may require a practiced eye at acing simple rules, such as when to use upward lighting as opposed to downward lighting.
You can pull off wall lighting with a variety of lighting fixtures. Wall sconces are common lighting products that are easy to install and provide a simple, underrated elegance to an empty hallway or bare walls. Wall lighting fixtures also include flush mounts and recessed lights. If you want to install wall lights for functionality, LED lights are usually your best bet; they offer a lot of brightness for less on the energy costs.

Knowledge and Practice
Knowledge is not practice. Mere knowledge is useless. Books can offer knowledge but cannot practice for the reader. There are many who are literate, who have gathered much useful knowledge on the practice of Dhamma but very few uses, such knowledge to one's advantage. In the midst of majority of such people in the world, chances are slim to foster good, righteous mind.
For example, many deeds of Dana are performed nowadays not with view of accumulate parami merits but to keep in line with social trend of showing off, vaunting their success and wealth for all to see; people no longer follow the path of parami laid down by noble, virtuous ones. The social climbers, in deed, know their Dana will bear no good fruit or very little, but because of their strong craving for popular acclamation, social acceptance and recognition, they sink to the level of doing deeds that the ignorant people do even though they know they should not.
whynotme wrote: throw away waste food for worms still have merit
So to speak the truth, IMO, even when showing off, there is merit for the one giving.
Secondly, there are many ways to express something in a pleasant way to householders to understand.
E.g when the Buddha taught lay people, he always began with teaching about merit, about devas, about happy lives because of merit, and then when their mind were ready he taught about suffering, not that he jumped straight to those things when others were not ready.
I think normal people like praising, so let assume that if he ask me, at first I will praise his deeds, that let his mind has joy and happiness, then I will teach him that his deeds will bring much more merit if he did it with other intentions like many of the suttas teach about merit.. When people are happy, they mind are easily concentrated to accept right things and give up wrong things. Even something is right but saying that make people feel angry or unhappy, IMO, it is not a good strategy to save them.
bodom wrote:Merit making is a wholesome desire to do good (chanda in pali), chanda also being one of the four bases of success. The Buddha encouraged the cultivation of good deeds or merit making.
kirk5a wrote:However, I can become aware of the effect of my own actions on my own state of mind. Good actions, good results - "visible here and now."

DAWN wrote:PS there is a level when you must let go subjectiv metta (doing merit), and dwell in absolute metta, wise metta, without good or bad, without judging, without correcting, but let dhammas be what they are - this is a absolute merit action, absolute metta, wise like a mirrow.
Ben wrote:Yes, intention is key. However, its my contention that even if one is mainly motivated by greed for future rewards, then the act of giving itself must contain some moments of genuine selfless generosity for that individual to give at all.

Why take the stairs when you can fly to the rooftop, is that your view?
Dan74 wrote:I guess Bodhidharma was urging the emperor to see beyond his notions of accumulating merit. To see the conditioned nature of good karma and bad karma. Emptiness.
It is not a denial of merit-making. Indeed Chinese Buddhism is very big on making merit. Form is emptiness, but emptiness is also form. So seeing into the conditioned nature does not mean such acts are pointless. It is grasping after merit that is pointless, not merit-making itself, though its fruit are conditioned and ultimately unsatisfactory.
There are many versions of this story. Some that differentiate the good karma and true merit (which is more akin to insight and liberation). I guess in Zen the key teaching is a sweeping away of the attachment to the worldly, even when the worldly is acts of great merit like supporting the Dharma.
"What is the highest meaning of the holy Dharma?' asks the Emperor.
"Vast emptiness, nothing holy," came Bodhidharma's reply.
The emperor was very learned and renowned for his good deeds. He was adept in the worldly Dharma. Perhaps he was ripe for the rug to be pulled from under his feet? This is the shocking tactic of the Zen school - whatever is the most immediate attachment, that is snatched away. For one who is not yet proficient in the worldly, you don't snatch the worldly. But for one who has mastered the worldly and pitches his tent there, he/she is urged to keep going. Sometimes setting that tent on fire is the only way to make someone move...
DAWN wrote:"There is a level" mean that there is a stair.
That is concern metta, it's must be develop at maximum before start to develop direct comprehention of anicca, dukkha and anatta.
If we dont have a base of metta before understanding anica dukkha and anatta, there is a risk to discover a "Dirk side".

U.S.A. family organic green lentils and organic Lundberg California short grain brown rice seasoned with organic vegetables, organic herbs, organic spices, and Eden sea salt. Expertly cooked at our certified organic, kosher cannery. Whole grain and beans together deliver complete protein. A no compromise time saver. Ready to eat, just heat, stir, and serve. A meal in minutes, just add vegetables or salad. Packed in bisphenol-A (BPA) free lined cans. Gluten free. pareve
Eden Organic Rice & Lentils are made from the finest certified organic ingredients grown in nutrient rich vital soil, on USA family farms by those committed to cleansing the environment and growing the most nutritious, safe food. The only cooked and canned organic lentils and organic short grain brown rice in this hemisphere.
At Eden's certified organic kosher cannery, organic lentils are blanched, combined with organic short grain brown rice and our select blend of organic onion flakes, organic garlic powder, organic parsley flakes, organic bay leaf powder, organic cumin and organic cayenne pepper, then expertly cooked with purified water and a bit of mineral rich Eden Sea Salt.
Eden Organic Rice & Beans are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use these BPA free cans and we have been since April 1999.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Eden Rice & Lentils are low in sodium and low fat with no saturated or trans fats. They are a good source of complex carbohydrate, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus.
Beans and legumes are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in cereals, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of beans in combination with whole grain is a good step toward healthy eating.
Just heat, stir, and serve. For soups and stews, simply add a variety fresh vegetables, water or stock, adjust the seasoning if desired, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. A great filling for burritos topped with salsa.

Central Nervous System Disease in HIV-infected Children on HAART
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine how HIV affects the brain and nervous system, learning, and behavior in children on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Although HAART has resulted in fewer HIV-infected children getting sick and even fewer dying from AIDS, many children on this treatment regimen develop significant brain or nervous system problems, such as learning difficulties, attention problems, hyperactivity, and depression.
People who acquired HIV disease in the first decade of life and who have evidence of central nervous system (CNS) disease (e.g., encephalopathy, CNS compromise, ADHD, bipolar disease, major depression or psychosis) may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, neuropsychological testing and a CT scan of the head, if one has not been done within 12 months of entering the study.
Participants undergo the following tests and procedures:
- MRI and MRS scan of the head: These tests use a magnetic field and radio waves to obtain images of the brain and detect changes in certain brain chemicals that may be affected by HIV infection. Both procedures are done at the same time. The patient lies on a table that is moved into the scanner (a narrow cylinder), wearing earplugs to muffle loud knocking and thumping sounds that occur during the scanning process. The procedure lasts about 50 to 60 minutes, during which time the patient can communicate with the staff.
- Neuropsychological testing: Patients' thinking and behavior are evaluated with tests to measure their memory, attention, language, problem-solving, academic, and motor skills and questionnaires to assess behavioral and emotional functioning, quality of life, and adherence to HIV medication. Parents are also asked to complete questionnaires assessing their child's behavioral and emotional functioning, quality of life, important life events, and adherence to HIV medication.
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap): Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected for analysis. For this procedure, a local anesthetic is given and a needle is inserted in the space between the bones in the lower back where the CSF circulates below the spinal cord. Some fluid is collected through the needle. Blood tests and a physical examination are done before the procedure to make sure it can be done as safely as possible. Patients may also be sedated to prevent any discomfort.
- Follow-up: The blood tests, MRI and MRS scans and spinal tap are repeated 1 and 2 years after the initial evaluation.
Some blood and spinal fluid samples from participants are stored for possible future studies related to HIV research

|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 9, 2014
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has altered the natural history of HIV disease in children.
A significant minority of HIV-infected children has evidence of ongoing CNS disease.
Specific markers for CNS disease, factors predictive of risk for neurological decline, and pathophysiologic mechanisms have not yet been identified in HIV-infected children.
To explore the clinical features (neurological and psychiatric exams, neuropsychological evaluation, and neuroimaging), viral and neuroinflammatory factors, anatomic changes (brain MRI) and patterns of brain metabolites (1H-MRS) associated with HIV-related CNS disease in HIV-infected children in the HAART era.
HIV disease acquired in the first decade of life.
Evidence of CNS disease (classification of encephalopathy or CNS compromise or diagnosis of ADHD, bipolar disease, major depression, or psychosis).
Serial neurologic and psychiatric examinations, neuropsychologic test, neuroimaging, and CSF sampling will be performed once a year for a total of 3 evaluations.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- HIV disease acquired in the first decade of life.
Evidence of CNS disease (at least one of the following):
- Classification of encephalopathy or CNS compromise.
- Diagnosis of ADHD, bipolar disease, major depression, or psychosis
- For children greater than 7 years, ability to give assent if developmentally appropriate.
- Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent for subjects greater than 18 years, and inability or unwillingness of one parent / legal guardian to provide consent for subjects less than 18 years.
- Clinically significant, unrelated systemic illness (serious infections or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or other organ dysfunction) which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator or Chairpersons would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate this study or is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results
Lumbar Puncture Exclusion Criteria:
- Increased intracranial pressure (head imaging and neurologic examination to be performed prior to LP)
- Spinal cord lesion (to be screened by neurologic examination; spine imaging if clinically indicated)
- Platelet count less than 75,000/mm(3)
- Abnormal PT/PTT
- Focal suppuration at puncture site

Cornell's Birdhouse Network Seeks Bird Enthusiasts to Help Monitor the Impact of Invasive Bird Species

The house sparrow (above), an introduced species, is displacing bluebirds across North America, including the Eastern bluebird (below). Copyright © Cornell University
In the mid-1800s, little brown birds called House Sparrows were introduced into the United States from Europe to alleviate homesickness for the Old World and because they were believed to control insect pests. Since then, these adaptable birds have made themselves quite comfortable here-spreading their wings across all of North America in vast numbers. Their surging populations have resulted in fierce competition with native birds for nesting sites.
According to 2003 data collected by The Birdhouse Network (TBN), a citizen-science project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, House Sparrows account for 43 percent of all competitor species (species that take over nest boxes intended for native birds). And although most nest-box enthusiasts discourage nesting by House Sparrows, the birds still comprise 10 percent of all reported nesting attempts when at least one egg is laid.

Plants and algae use the enzyme Rubisco to fix carbon dioxide, removing it from the atmosphere and converting it into biomass. Algae have figured out a way to increase the efficiency of carbon fixation. They gather most of their Rubisco into a ball-shaped microcompartment called the pyrenoid, which they flood with a high local concentration of carbon dioxide. A team of scientists at Princeton University, the Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford University and the Max Plank Institute of Biochemistry have unravelled the mysteries of how the pyrenoid is assembled. These insights can help to engineer crops that remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while producing more food.

Our brains house extremely complex neuronal circuits, whose detailed structures are still largely unknown. This is especially true for the so-called cerebral cortex of mammals, where among other things vision, thoughts or spatial orientation are being computed. Here the rules by which nerve cells are connected to each other are only partly understood. A team of scientists around Moritz Helmstaedter at the Frankfiurt Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and Helene Schmidt (Humboldt University in Berlin) have now discovered a surprisingly precise nerve cell connectivity pattern in the part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for orienting the individual animal or human in space.

For the first time, physicists have successfully imaged spiral magnetic ordering in a multiferroic material. These materials are considered highly promising candidates for future data storage media. The researchers were able to prove their findings using unique quantum sensors that were developed at Basel University and that can analyze electromagnetic fields on the nanometer scale. The results – obtained by scientists from the University of Basel's Department of Physics, the Swiss Nanoscience Institute, the University of Montpellier and several laboratories from University Paris-Saclay – were recently published in the journal Nature.
Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously react to electric and magnetic fields. These two properties are rarely found together, and their combined...

AHAVA's Mineral Makeup Care Dead Sea Algae Rich Foundation is an ideal makeup base that provides a dose of good health for your complexion.

Formulated with Dead Sea minerals, natural pigments and Dunaliella algae, this full coverage foundation is made for all skin types Free of oils and dyes and made with soft focus technology, this makeup looks as good on you as it is for you AHAVA's StoryDown below, where it all begins...The Dead Sea is AHAVA's home at the bottom of the world. It's a strikingly beautiful and peaceful place - a geological wonder filled with the kind of contrasts that only Mother Nature could create. It's mysterious: An oasis in the middle of the wilderness; a unique salty lake and muddy shoreline that holds the Earth's greatest concentration of skin-moisturizing minerals; sea water filled with a one-of-a-kind, age- delaying algae; and skin-soothing plants that grow in the driest desert conditions. In 1988, AHAVA began clinical research into the powerful effects of its rich selection of minerals in facilitating skin renewal, forming AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories. And AHAVA haven't stopped since – exploring the richness of these natural skin-replenishing treasures and optimizing them with scientific precision in bringing the finest nature-inspired Dead Sea face and body care products to market. Over the years, AHAVA has cultivated a unique brand identity that is synonymous with the richness, purity and natural goodness that define this mineral rich basin. Through their ongoing efforts, AHAVA has rightfully earned the reputation as the definitive Dead Sea cosmetic brand. Environmental ResponsibilityTrue to AHAVA's philosophy of protecting the innate beauty and resources of the region, they have cultivated a passionate and caring relationship with the Dead Sea, working diligently and carefully along its hypnotic shores. AHAVA's activities are undertaken with a view towards preserving the pristine environment and delicate balance of the natural forces in the Dead Sea region and comply with stringent international quality standards. AHAVA's manufacturing processes are non-polluting and environmentally conscious. No animals are involved in testing phases and all of their products are encased in recyclable tubes, bottles and jars. All AHAVA face and body products are: paraben free SLS/SLES free allergy tested approved for sensitive skin not tested on animals produced without petroleum, harsh synthetic ingredients, or GMOs My Skin Re-BornRe-born (adj.): a new or second birth; a renewed sense of existence or activity; a revival or renaissance in one's state of body and mind; a sense of successful transformation; a feeling of transcendence; the rejuvenating sensation that envelops my skin when cared for by AHAVA active Dead Sea mineral formulations. For centuries, people have been coming to the shores of the Dead Sea in search of a new life for their skin. Bathing in the revitalizing, mineral-rich waters of this unique salt lake, one emerges with a sense of renewed energy and vitality. The effect seems almost mystical but indeed the rejuvenating effects of the natural ingredients that abound in the region have been clinically proven to revive, awaken and balance the skin. It's that same feeling of personal regeneration and skin-healthy renewal that drives our ongoing efforts to bring you the finest in nature-inspired skincare. And AHAVA has captured it in a phrase that conveys the brand promise that AHAVA consistently strives to fulfill: "My skin reborn". Skin Friendly IngredientsAHAVA's naturally rejuvenating skincare products are formulated with the finest skin-friendly ingredients that the Dead Sea has to offer, supported by a variety of carefully chosen botanical extracts from other regions. Together, these gentle, irritation-free formulae reveal their collective power in enabling healthier, well-hydrated skin. AHAVA's nature-inspired product range is formulated using the following EcoCert-certified ingredients: Dead Sea water, Dead Sea mineral mud and Dead Sea salt. Dead Sea MineralsDead Sea minerals are Nature's ultimate supplement for maintaining healthy skin. The minerals essential to well-functioning skin – magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium – naturally attract and retain water and are known as Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). As a person matures, the NMF levels of the body gradually become depleted, lessening the body's ability to retain the proper moisture levels needed to prevent skin aging. Urban pollution, the ongoing exposure to the elements and the fast-paced lifestyles we live, all take their toll. Dead Sea mineral formulae help to reactivate the skin's natural ability to hydrate and replenish itself and restore its natural suppleness. Potassium (K+): Signs of potassium deficiency include abnormally dry skin, acne. Manganese (Mn2+): Anti-oxidant properties; Increases skin microcirculation (anti-ageing skin care); Improves connective tissue condition. Sodium (Na+): Maintains osmotic equilibrium in extra-cellular fluid; Improves the skin's metabolism. Calcium (Ca2+): Plays an important role in cell protection; Regulates cell membrane permeability; Normalizes skin cells' differentiation. Bromine (Br-): Relaxing and soothing effect. Lithium (Li-): Increases the effectiveness of balneotherapy for psoriasis. Magnesium (Mg2+): Stimulates protein synthesis; Facilitates energy production. Zinc (Zn2+): Facilitates cell renewal; Free radicals scavenger; Improves sebo-regulation (anti-acne properties). Strontium (Sr2+): Effective anti-itching properties; Reduces the signs of irritant contact dermatitis – a significant problem for many people who regularly use cosmetics. Boron (B3+): Helps to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The Four Elements:The Dead Sea is blessed with four sources of skin-healthy elements that occur naturally in its unique ecosystem: Dead Sea Water - 32% of the waters of the Dead Sea is composed of minerals with scientifically proven skin-healthy properties - by far the richest concentration of any body of water on the planet. In addition, the salty lake is the home to Dunaliella Algae, a unique age-delaying seaweed loaded with beta-carotene and containing remarkable anti-oxidant and anti-wrinkling properties. Dead Sea Mud - Comprised of layer upon layer of sedimentary clay formed over thousands of years, the layers of unique black mineral mud found in the Dead Sea region yield extraordinary amounts of magnesium, calcium, potassium, strontium, boron and iron - essential to maintaining healthy, supple skin. The natural properties of mud have been scientifically proven to restore suppleness and moisture levels in overly dry skin while relieving and soothing symptoms such as soreness, roughness, redness and cracking. Dead Sea Salt - Naturally invigorating salts of the Dead Sea are rich in healthy minerals, working deep to soothe and relax tired muscles, restart the skin's metabolism, and smooth away roughness for a softer feeling. Dead Sea Plants - Extracts of plants native to the Dead Sea region naturally hydrate, soothe and nourish damaged or irritated skin, adding a dimension of skin-calming relief and spa-like indulgence to AHAVA's mineral-based formulations. Powered By The OsmoterA gift from nature, Dead Sea minerals are known to improve your skin's well-being and youthfulness. The Osmoter is a unique blend of minerals contained in all AHAVA products. It optimizes cell metabolism, protects from UV damage, and significantly increases moisture to keep your skin looking young and supple. All AHAVA's products contain AHAVA's exclusive Osmoter. What Is The Osmoter?A truly unique, concentrated extract of mineral-rich Dead Sea water, the AHAVA Osmoter was created using a natural evaporation process. It contains scientifically balanced levels of Dead Sea minerals to enable the skin to optimize its cell functions. How It WorksLeveraging the principles of the natural water-sharing process that takes place between skin cells, known as osmosis, the clinically-proven formula, which powers our entire product range, draws moisture and nutrients from the depths of the skin up to the outer layers of the epidermis where it is needed the most. The Result: Optimizes cell metabolism Protects from UV damage Increases moisture levels Restores natural skin balance for smoother, youthful-looking skin The Dead Sea GalleryThe Dead Sea is a natural geological wonder formed throughout the millennia and located at the bottom of the world, some 410 meters below sea level. It's a region filled with mystique and is a study in contrasts. Far from reflecting its name, the Dead Sea thrives with life-enhancing ingredients with proven regenerative properties. It provides one of the world's highest concentrations of minerals suitable for skin-related healthcare. The climate is dry and the sands of the desert engulfing it are parched, and yet it produces the greatest abundance of skin-hydrating minerals on Earth. Saturated in healthy salts, the waters of the Dead Sea cause bathers to float rather than sink. And because it is located on the lowest point on the planet there are supplementary filters in the region's dense atmosphere that act like natural sunscreens and a higher concentration of pure, unpolluted oxygen. All of these unique factors add up to make the Dead Sea the largest and richest natural spa on Earth, featuring exceptional, health-enhancing properties. Once the legendary, personal spa of Cleopatra it has become a modern-day oasis for people everywhere seeking its clinically-proven skin therapies and treatments. Frequently Asked Questions:Why are minerals so healthy for the skin?Minerals provide the syntax for the skin's natural language, enabling inter-cellular messaging and helping the skin to better perform its metabolic functions and retain and deliver moisture where necessary. Vital to the skin's healthy function are magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium, which attract and retain water and are therefore considered to be Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). What is so special about the Dead Sea?The Dead Sea is the Earth's largest natural spa. Located on the lowest point of the planet (410 meters below sea level), it abounds with a variety of minerals with proven therapeutic powers and cosmetic benefits. The life-giving waters of the Dead Sea contain the highest concentration of minerals in the world—an astounding 32%. Its sedimentary clay layers of rich, black mineral mud yield extraordinary concentrations of natural elements (ten times more than ocean water)—such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, strontium, boron and iron—that are essential to maintaining healthy, supple skin. Finally, the exceptionally low altitude provides for a dense blanket of pure, pollution-free oxygen that supplies added protection in filtering out the sun's harmful rays. These are only some of the reasons why people come from all over the world to enjoy this magical, health-enhancing oasis. Aren't Dead Sea ingredients too harsh for sensitive skin types?On the contrary. People from all over the world with very sensitive skin or even skin disorders come to the Dead Sea to immerse their bodies in its mineral-rich waters. Dead Sea minerals are approved and recommended by the world's most renowned dermatologists, both as an excellent remedy for alleviating the symptoms of skin problems and as ongoing, daily care for maintaining healthy skin at optimal levels. The majority of AHAVA products are approved for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin. Can I use a facial or body exfoliator?Yes. Make sure you use gentle scrubs only and not too frequently. Once a week for both face and body is sufficient. Why does skin get dryer with age?The skin has its own natural moisturizing system. As you age, this system performs with diminished capacity, depleting the skin's ability to retain moisture. With the march of time, the skin barrier gets thinner and thinner and the slow-down of its cellular activity impacts on its capability to attract water molecules and to produce ceramides, which play a crucial role in the skin's self-hydration mechanism. Why does my skin feel tight at times?Your skin may occasionally feel tight when its epidermal water balance is compromised. This can happen for a variety of reasons, the most common of which are: dry atmosphere, overexposure to the sun, a lack of fluids in your system, stress, tiredness, the use of certain medications, and skin aging. Should I follow the same moisturizing program throughout the year?Only if your skin reacts well to the same moisturizer all year round. Skin reaction typically fluctuates according to the changing seasons. The dryness of winter generally calls for richer nourishment, while the skin tends to prefer lighter moisturizing in the summer. When and how should I use AHAVA Serums?Serums are generally used as supplemental care to be applied morning or evening underneath your regular cream. They generally provide a more intense and specific treatment, which varies according to the condition and needs of your skin. Source Mineral Beauty Serum is a light-textured fluid that gives the skin an extra moisture surge and refines its texture thanks to a unique blend of fruit-based acids and AHAVA's proprietary mineral complex. Time Line Age Defying Optimizer Serum is a light velvety gel enriched with AHAVA's original 3D Complex to fight the signs of aging. By providing consistent hydration, it strengthens the skin's protective barrier while significantly helping to reduce wrinkles. Why is it so important to cleanse the skin?You only need to look at how dark the facades of our city buildings are in order to comprehend what pollution can do to the skin. Our lifestyle daily exposes our skin to fumes from car exhausts, fuel oil, and cigarette smoke, as well as heating systems and the stale air of confined spaces. Gaseous polluting substances fix themselves on to the skin and mix with sebum, the residue of make-up and other dirtying elements. These toxins penetrate the epidermis and saturate the skin's natural anti-oxidant system and disrupt its natural protective and moisturizing capacities. The build-up of dirt, pollution, excess oil and make-up residues are one of the first causes of skin premature aging. A daily and thorough cleansing ritual will help you to delay the signs of aging and keep your skin healthier. Sometimes, after a stressful day, my body feels tense a bit achy. How can I 'reset' myself and melt the day away?Immersing your body in a lukewarm bath infused with Dead Sea Salts will do wonders to alleviate body tensions. The rich blend of minerals captured within is proven to have immediate relaxing and soothing effects. Dead Sea black mud is no less effective for the relief of painful joints and tense muscles, especially when used as a warm mask on aching areas or all over the body. The mud's unique ability to slowly release heat into the body assures deep relief and detoxifies the skin, for a smooth and radiant look.

Al-Qaida (also known as al-Qaeda) is an international terrorist network formerly led by Osama bin Laden that is considered the top terrorist threat to the United States. The group is wanted for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as a myriad of lesser attacks around the world. The group's current goal is to establish a pan-Islamic Caliphate throughout the world by working with allied Islamic extremist groups to overthrow regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and expelling Westerners and non-Muslims from Muslim countries.
Al-Qaida, Arabic for "the base," grew out of the Services Office, a clearinghouse for the international Muslim brigade opposed to the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the 1980s, the Services Office -- run by bin Laden and the Palestinian religious scholar Abdullah Azzam -- recruited, trained and financed thousands of foreign fighters to battle the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Bin Laden wanted these fighters to continue the "holy war" beyond that country, and formed al-Qaida around 1988.
Location/Area of operation
There is no single headquarters. Al-Qaida has cells worldwide and is reinforced by its ties to Sunni extremist networks. From 1991-96, al-Qaida worked out of Pakistan along the Afghan border, or inside Pakistani cities. During the Taliban's reign, al-Qaida shifted its base of operations into Afghanistan. To escape the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, al-Qaida's leadership once again sought refuge in Pakistan's tribal areas after Sept. 11, 2001.
Law enforcement has broken up al-Qaida cells in the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Albania, Uganda and elsewhere.
How big?
It's impossible to estimate al-Qaida's size, because the organization is decentralized, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Estimates range from several hundred to several thousand members. The international crackdown that followed the 9/11 attacks greatly cut into al-Qaida's resources and many of al-Qaida's former leaders were captured or killed, leading experts to question the relevance of al-Qaida's central leadership, according to the CFR.
According to a 1998 U.S. federal indictment, al-Qaida is administered by a council that "discussed and approved major undertakings, including terrorist operations." At the top was bin Laden, until his death by U.S. forces May 1, 2011. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, is thought to be bin Laden's top lieutenant and al-Qaida's ideological adviser. Abu Yahya al-Libi, a Libyan who was captured by Pakistani authorities in 2002 but managed to escape from a U.S. prison in Afghanistan in 2005, has emerged as the public face of al-Qaida and another top-level leader.
U.S. officials say several top al-Qaida leaders are in their custody. These include a senior lieutenant, Abu Zubaydah, who was captured in Pakistan in March 2002, and Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a senior commander in Afghanistan. In March 2003, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and al-Qaida's treasurer, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, were also captured in Pakistan. They, along with four others detained at Guantanamo Bay, were charged with murder, terrorism and violating rules of war in February 2008.
Several senior leaders in the network have died or been killed in the U.S.-led war against terrorists.
Major Attacks
The group has targeted American and other Western interests as well as Jewish targets and Muslim governments it sees as corrupt or impious -- above all, the Saudi monarchy. Al-Qaida-linked attacks include:
-- December 2009 - attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight.
-- October 2007 - suicide bombing that narrowly missed killing former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
-- July 2005 - bombings of the London public transportation system.
-- March 2004 - bomb attacks on Madrid commuter trains, which killed nearly 200 people and left more than 1,800 injured.
-- May 2003 - car bomb attacks on three residential compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
-- November 2002 - car bomb attack and failed attempt to shoot down an Israeli jetliner with shoulder-fired missiles in Mombasa, Kenya.
-- October 2002 - attack on a French tanker off the coast of Yemen.
-- April 2002 - explosion of a fuel tanker outside a synagogue in Tunisia.
-- Sept. 11, 2001 - hijackings of four U.S. airplanes. Two crashed into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a Pennsylvania field. More than 3,000 people were killed.
-- October 2000 - USS Cole bombing in Yemen, killing 17 crew members and wounding 39.
-- August 1998 - bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Plots linked to al-Qaida that were disrupted or prevented include a 2001 attempt by Richard Reid to explode a shoe bomb on a transatlantic flight; a 1999 plot to set off a bomb at Los Angeles International Airport; a 1995 plan to blow up 12 transpacific flights of U.S. commercial airliners; a 1995 plan to kill former President Bill Clinton on a visit to the Philippines; and a 1994 plot to kill the late Pope John Paul II during a visit to Manila.
