The study involves delivering one of two interventions - either Promoting Action Towards Health (PATH) or Personalized Cognitive Counseling (PCC) - to 440 men who have sex with men (MSM) who have recently been diagnosed with HIV and assessing whether participants who received PATH achieve greater suppression of HIV viral load, demonstrate greater uptake of care and adherence to treatment, and engage in less sexual HIV transmission risk behavior than participants who received PCC.
- PATH consists of two preliminary sessions plus "booster" sessions after 1, 3, and 6 months.
- Personalized Cognitive Counseling consists of one session.
Participants will complete assessments before participating in their intervention (i.e., at "baseline") and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 month follow-up points. Participants' viral loads will be measured at approximately 6 and 12 months following baseline.

Detailed Description:
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of Promoting Action Towards Health (PATH), a brief health-enhancement and risk reduction intervention targeting newly HIV diagnosed men who have sex with men (MSM).
Specific Aims:
The investigators will establish the efficacy of PATH. The following hypotheses will be tested: Participants in the experimental condition will (1) achieve significantly greater suppression of HIV viral load; (2) demonstrate greater uptake of care and adherence to treatment; and (3) engage in less sexual HIV transmission risk behavior across the study duration than participants in the comparison condition.
440 newly HIV diagnosed (within 12 months) men will be randomly assigned to either: (1) the PATH experimental condition, or (2) the PCC comparison condition and followed for one year. HIV counselors will be trained to deliver the interventions within each condition. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Given increases in HIV incidence among MSM, advances in HIV treatment, and the demonstrated efficacy of early treatment in preventing HIV transmission, there is a critical need for effective interventions that can increase engagement and retention of MSM in care and reduce sexual HIV transmission risk behavior. PATH can be seamlessly integrated into medical care and translated into a sustainable model of care for newly diagnosed MSM to meet the urgent need for care programs that identify, treat, and prevent HIV infections.

I've decided that since I have to live out in the 'burbs anyway, I might as well live in the perfect house. 9 out of 10 builders around here just slap together the same old generic qasi-craftsman style homes with awful layouts and pointless features like tiny unusable porches and formal living rooms.
We have a crap ton of money and I'm overpaid.
We're looking to buy a few acres of land and then spend ~$800k to build the thing (architecture, land prep, construction, etc.)
Does anyone have experience with having a custom home built (particularly modern design; no shingles or crown molding here)? Was it worth it compared to what you could have bought for the same amount of money? How was the financing?

Notebook Computer, Laptop Computer & Netbook Computer
Notebook Computer, Laptop Computer & Netbook Computer Overview
The notebook or laptop computer is a great all around computer because it matches the processing power of many full sized desktops with the portability that is associated with the netbook class. These computers offer plenty of storage for all of your media as well as the processing power that you need to play games, work in any program while the computer stays quick and responsive. With great brand names like Acer, Fujitsu, Lenovo, HP and Asus, you will find a top quality machine for whatever your needs are here. You still need to select your specific notebook based on what kind of uses you have for it. You should look at the processing power and storage capabilities of the notebook but you should also look at the battery life of them as well. Since these are meant to be used both on the road and near a power source the battery life needed can vary widely by notebook and by the user's requirements. A battery life of 2-5 hours isn't uncommon among these notebooks but you if you use the notebook for higher powered processing then you can see the battery life fall to under an hour in many cases.
The netbook computer is a smaller version of a notebook or laptop computer that is made for use on the move. This breed usually comes with a smaller screen and a bigger battery than most laptops and is often used professionals on the go. It is a favorite of road warriors because they can use them for hours without having to plug in and still have all the functionality of a full sized computer. The tradeoff with them is usually either performance or price. The ones that really have great specs will cost a bit more but will still be able to do anything their full sized brethren can do. The less expensive ones are still great machines but they will often lack the truly huge performance or storage specifications of a full sized laptop, desktop or all in one PC. These netbooks are generally the best in terms of battery life that you can get with an on the road computer that has all the functionality of a full computer while still letting you work 6-8 hours without being plugged in to the wall.

Passwords and codes used with 2-Step Verification
There are several fundamental differences between traditional passwords, like those you use to sign in to your Google Account, and the verification codes and App Passwords you use as part of 2-Step Verification.Traditional password
- Created when you first sign up for a Google Account or change your password
- Generally a combination of letters, digits and characters that you choose
- You need to remember it
- If you forget your traditional password, you can always reset it using your recovery options, such as your backup email address or phone number
- Delivered to your phone or generated by the Google Authenticator App.
- Six to eight digits (Example: 012345)
- You don't have to remember it, because you can get a new verification code each time you need one.
- You'll need it every time you sign in unless you've marked a computer as "trusted"
- Generate backup codes ahead of time and print them out, so you can use them as a backup if you don't have access to your phone
- If you own an Android device, you can also generate codes through Google Settings, even if your device is offline.
Note: If you have the most current operating system on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you will no longer have to use App passwords to use 2-Step Verification.
- You generate it on the App passwords page
- Sixteen letters (Example: ohgh uylv xkwd zgbz)
- You don't have to remember it, because you can generate a new one anytime
- You'll need it when you want to authorize a device, a mobile app (such as a Gmail app on your iPhone), or a desktop app (such as AdWords Editor) to connect to your Google Account
- If you lose a phone or stop using an app that was authorized with an App password, revoke the App password for that app.

Studio quality extension cable
www.delamar.de 12/2014Title: beyerdynamic DT-100 test reviewAuthor: Felix BaarßTranslated from the original German article[...]
The beyerdynamic DT 100 is convincing with its traditional discipline, when recording in the studio or when a high sound insulation is required. The attenuation is far above the average. The device is perfectly processed, the cable is thickly covered and can be attached to the right ear shell. All parts are replaceable. If we assume that the manufacturer will offer spare parts for years to come, then the purchase of this headphone is a far-sighted investment. The replacement of a single part is much cheaper than buying a new headphone. As for the comfort, I can also say only good, because the padding is very generous and the ears have a lot of space in the shells. As for the sound, there is enough air to the top, but for a monitoring headphone, this is not important. The sound is rather suitable for bassists and drummers, this model is also used for the monitoring of voices.
All in all, for a good rating for the beyerdynamic DT 100 Review, I think- four out of five points are justified, because the rugged device still holds up well after all these years since its introduction on the market.

Cans for mixing, listening, recording and DJing
Declan McGlynn on the DT 100 and DT 990 PRO:
DT 100:"They might not be too pleasant to listen to, but they deliver incredibly accurate sound reproduction, warts and all."
DT 990 PRO:"They are bright but not harsch, thick but not cloudy, warm but also sincere, and in terms of comfort they are a joy to wear for long periods."

A quick update on the Singapore camp...
I got there on the morning of the first session and met Mamady outside the venue. He looked a lot more lively and happy than he did last time I saw him at the end of April. He's smiling a lot and the spring is back in his step. Good to see!
About 48 people are attending the workshop. Not all of them will be there for the entire time--some people are leaving early, others are arriving late. So far, numbers seem to be stable in the high fourties.
Day 1
Mamady did the usual thing of spending the first day with everyone together, to sort people into intermediate and advanced groups. He did four rhythms in the first two sessions: Liberte (4/4), Djansa, Garangedon, and Saranken. Saranken is one of Mamady's compositions. "Saran" is the name of a woman, and "ken" means "beautiful". Mamady explained that he wrote the rhythm in homage to everything that is beautiful in women. Not the beauty on the outside but, as Mamady put it, the beauty that "is in the heart".
At the end of the session, Mamady split the groups into 26 intermediates and 22 advanced players. He said that there are only three or four people here whom he really would call "advanced". Comparing with the standard of playing last May in San Diego, I'd say that there are fewer people here whom I'd call "near beginners", and fewer people with "two left hands". At the same time, there are also fewer advanced players, and the distribution seems to be strongly bunched in the middle, with the median at what you might call "early intermediate level".
In the evening, Mamady started teaching the pyramid. Saranken is the first rhythm in the pyramid, with a short intro. At the end of Saranken, there is a long break that goes on for a little over two minutes. Mamady said he first played that break for a pyramid in 1973 (which puts it in the Ballet Djoliba days, as far as I know). The break is technically quite easy to play, but sounds interesting and surprising. Quite a lot of fun, actually.
Day 2
The intermediate class started the solo original for Djansa. People were struggling a bit, especially with the rolls in the fifth phrase, but mostly got there.
The advanced group did Zaouli 4. A well-chosen piece, given the skill level in the class--the break is technically simple, so you don't have to be a speed wizard to play it.
The pyramid class continued to work on the break and finished that. The second rhythm in the pyramid is Sunu, with a really surprising transition from the end of the break into the rhythm. There are a few small breaks at the beginning of Sunu that are easy to play and effecdtive (and only took a few minutes to learn).
Day 3
The intermediates finished the solo original for Djansa and moved on to Kono. Kono is another one of Mamady's compositions. "Kono" means "bird". Mamady told a story where he was walking through the bush and heard a bunch of birds singing up in a tree. The rhythm was inspired by these bird calls. Mamady said that, after a while, the birds changed their song, making a different rhythm, and he was trying to get closer to have a better listen. Unfortunately, there were a lot of dry leaves on the ground and, as he moved, the noise from the leaves frightend a lizard that took off, making yet more noise and scaring the birds away; as a result, Mamady never captured that second rhythm.
Kono is a 4/4 piece with an interesting djembe part. Easy to play, but effective. At the end of the session, Mamady added a ballet-style arrangement for the rhythm with an intro and a few breaks. Just before the end of the session, he played quite a long solo. I have a recording of this but, due to my connectivity problems, posting the sound clip may have to wait until I get back home.
The advanced group worked on the solo original for Soboninkun. A lot of people were struggling with this, espcially the feel of the phrases toward the end of the solo, which progressively shorten and then end up crossing the bar. We didn't quite finish the solo original--the echauffement is still missing.
The pyramid class rehearsed the break once again (which is coming together nicely and is starting to sound quite good). The third rhythm in the pyramid is Sofa. Anyone who has learned Sofa from Mamady will know the ballet-style arrangement for it. I was a little surprised to see that Mamady put four binary rhythms back-to-back in the pyramid. That's the first time I've seen him do this. I guess he'll continue to surprise me as I study with him...
Day 4
No drumming today, but the first day of the djembe conference. About twenty of us spent five hours talking about djembe-related stuff, such as drumming circles, teaching, what can be done to retain students over long periods, how to help them progress, and the merits and demerits of formal gradings. It was an interesting session, partly due to the number of Chinese people present who didn't speak English. A few people helped out with translating and we ended up with a lively dialog.
Watch China over the next few years! It looks like the Chinese are taking to the djembe with a vengeance and, like the Japanese, tend to take it very seriously, working on their skills with a lot of dedication. I expect the standard of playing in China to rise rapidly over the next few years. If the djembe really takes off in China, we could end up with more Chinese players than the players of all the remaining countries put together...
We ended the session with a viewing of the "energy transfer technique", which got a good laugh and a big round of applause at the end
Day 5
The day hasn't really started yet. At 1:00pm Jeremy will do a djembe reskinning demonstration. Should be fun to compare technique and exchange tips with another drum maker. From 5:00pm to 7:00pm, Mamady will do a Q&A session. I'm looking forward to that--when Mamady gets going, all sorts of interesting facts come out, and I learn something new every time I listen to him.
The pyramid class will run from 7:00pm to 9:pm today.

This project will develop, implement, and evaluate a community-level intervention for Black and White substance-using MSM between the ages of 15 and 29. The intervention is designed to change both social norms and risk behavior using persuasive media communication and interpersonal networking as primary intervention strategies.
Qualitative data from focus groups and interviews will inform the development of the intervention. The effects of the intervention will be assessed through annual interviews with young Black and White MSM in Philadelphia where the intervention will be implemented and in Baltimore, our comparison community.

Behavioral: community-level intervention for young MSM
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) have unique needs for targeted and tailored HIV prevention messages. HIV infection rates among MSM remain high, particularly among men under the age of 30 and for Black YMSM, whose HIV infection rates are over four times those of White YMSM. The use of drugs and alcohol has been linked to increased sexual risk for HIV among MSM yet no intervention addressing substance use and sexual risk within this population has been rigorously evaluated.
This project will develop, implement, and evaluate a community-level intervention for Black and White substance-using MSM between the ages of 15 and 29. The intervention, implemented with the collaboration of a community service organization, the Mazzoni Center, will be designed to change both social norms and risk behavior using persuasive media communication and interpersonal networking as primary intervention strategies. The proposed project aims to: 1) examine patterns and contexts of episodic substance use among YMSM; 2) compare patterns of substance use for Black and White YMSM, and differences by age, sexual identity and socio-economic status; 3) clarify the association between patterns and contexts of substance use and sexual risk behaviors; 4) evaluate the efficacy of a community-level intervention for substance-using YMSM to decrease sexual risk for HIV, through strengthening social norms, increasing perceived risk, and enhancing self-efficacy and positive attitudes to HIV prevention; 5) measure the differential impact of intervention messages on sexual risk behavior for subgroups of YMSM; 6) determine if a reduction in substance use leads to a decrease in sexual risk behaviors.
During the formative research phase, qualitative data will be obtained through focus groups and in-depth interviews to refine the conceptual model and the media materials. The intervention evaluation will collect quantitative data from YMSM in both Philadelphia PA and the comparison community of Baltimore MD, using geocoding and census tract data to control for demographic and socio-economic differences. A Solomon four-group design will be used to collect data from panel and cross-sectional samples in intervention and comparison communities. Four annual waves of interviews (baseline, 12, 24, and 36 months) will enable us to examine exposure to the intervention, changes in norms and behavior, and long-term intervention effects. A total of 650 men will be interviewed in Philadelphia and 400 in Baltimore. The data will be analyzed using multivariate techniques, including generalized linear model (GLM) repeated measures analysis and cumulative logit models. The study results will provide needed information on substance use and sexual risk of Black and White YMSM and have direct implications for implementing effective interventions to this high-risk population.

Although Serie A is not the world's best league, it is most definitely the world's most competitive league. Of all of the elite football divisions Serie A arguably has the most teams with a chance of winning the league. In England and Spain it is often the same teams competing with one another each year, but in Italy any of around 6 teams are usually in contention to win the title. Also, top teams in Italy can go from being a powerhouse in to a struggling side within a short while. No league boasts this amount of unpredictability and this makes the Italian Serie A the most unmissable league in world football. With teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, the tough part will be deciding which jersey to wear.

- The taxpayer must be at least 70.5 years old and subject to the required minimum distribution rules.
- The distribution must be a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. The IRA trustee must transfer the money directly to the charity; taxpayers cannot get the distribution in their hands, then donate it to the charity.
- One hundred percent of the transfer must qualify as a charitable contribution eligible to be deducted on Schedule A.
- The maximum amount that can be excluded from taxable income for the year is $100,000.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- One of the temporary benefits extended for tax year 2013 by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was the ability for people age 70.5 and older to transfer up to $100,000 tax free directly from an IRA account to a qualifying charity. These charitable transfers can be used to satisfy the taxpayer's "required minimum distribution" for the year. Using this technique can result in substantial tax savings. Here is how it works: Dave Donor, 72, must take a fully taxable required minimum distribution of $4,263 from his IRA this year. Dave also owes $5,000 on a pledge to the Visual Art Center of New Jersey building fund. He can contact the trustee of his IRA account and request that $5,000 be sent directly from the account to the center to cover his required minimum IRA distribution for 2013 and his pledge. The $5,000 is not reported as income on his 2013 Form 1040, but he cannot deduct it as a charitable contribution on his Schedule A. If this tax benefit had not been extended, Dave would have had to claim $4,263 as gross income on Page 1 of his Form 1040 and claim a $5,000 charitable deduction on Schedule A. The $4,263 would increase his Adjusted Gross Income and could, as a result, increase the taxable portion of his Social Security (or Railroad Retirement) benefits by as much as $3,624, reduce his medical and miscellaneous itemized deductions by up to $426 and reduce or eliminate a number of other deductions and credits affected by AGI, possibly causing him to fall victim to the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax. Now the $5,000 IRA transfer is tax free and does not increase his AGI. The additional $737 represents a tax-free withdrawal from his IRA. There is nothing in the law that limits the number of transfers that can be made during the year, or the number of charities to which the money can be transferred. So Dave can choose to transfer $1,000 each to four different churches or charities and $263 to a fifth. The only requirements are:

Kilian Jornet Breaks Speed Record on Mont Blanc
Spanish trail runner Kilian Jornet broke the speed ascent/descent record on Mont Blanc by running up and down the mountain in 4 hours and 57 minutes. This incredible feat edges out the 23-year-old previous record by more than 13 minutes. Departing from the Chamonix village church at 4:48 am, Jornet and friend Mathéo Jacquemond ascended the Grands Mulets route on the north face of the mountain, reaching the summit in 3 hours and 30 minutes. On the descent, Jacquemond took a minor fall into a small crevasse, and knowing that the record attempt was in jeopardy, encouraged Jornet to finish the descent alone.
This climb marks the first mountain Jornet has climbed in 2013 as part of his "Summits of My Life" project, in which he hopes to ascend some of the most famous peaks in the world in record times while simultaneously striking "a balance between beating speed records at each vertex without assistance" and conveying "personal values upon life and the mountain." For this climb, Jornet hoped to personify the values of friendship (by climbing with Jacquemond), simplicity (by going lightweight with minimal gear), and effort (by trying to beat the record). Of the Mont Blanc ascent, Jornet said, "Mathéo unfortunately fell down and could not accompany me on the final stretch, but it was a nice experience and the start of the Summits challenges this year." For the next phase of his project, Jornet hopes to take on Russia's Mount Elbrus and the Matterhorn.
Check out this video of Jornet breaking the speed record on Kilimanjaro in 2010:

text: Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There's a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners (from injury, to running, to RWOL). We're all a little crazy here too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you'll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up and stay awhile (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours around here.

This was the first time this camp was held, and the first time that Queensland has had a camp of such a high-calibre profile. Teachers:
- Lansana "Sana" Camara
- Mohamed "Bangouraké" Bangoura
- Sibo Bangoura
- Malin Sylla
- Aicha Keita
There were around 25 drummers and 15 dancers at the camp. Skill level of the drummers was quite varied, from almost complete beginner to fairly advanced. But most of the people had at least some experience, so I'd say that the standard was slightly higher than at most other camps I've been to in Australia. The dancers were another matter: many of them are highly accomplished dancers, so Aicha could really let it rip…
The drum teachers took turns, each taking one day of teaching. We learned Kassa Dibon (Sana), Dibon (Malin), Mendiani Koura (Sibo), and Kounkoura (Mohamed).
Mendiani Koura is a modern version of Mendiani. The djembe accompaniments are the same as for Mendiani, but the dunduns are quite different. The sangban still contains the classic Mendiani pattern with the four open strokes, with the third open stroke marking the "one" and the other three off-beat. But it splits the pattern into a double-length cycle, so the classic Mendiani pattern happens only every second cycle. The other half is taken up by a bunch of off-beat mutes. The dundunba accompaniment is very reminiscent of dundunba rhythms. Essentially nothing is on the beat Not surprisingly, students struggled most with Mendiani—it's not a rhythm that's easy to feel…
Kounkoura is one of Mohamed's compositions, a 6/8 that's quite uplifting and playful. Kounkoura is the name of one of four bridges near Mohamed's village. You have to cross that bridge to get from Mohamed's to Malin's place.
The dancers learned Yankadi, Keyim Ba (a dundunba that can also be found on Sibo's CD), Kassa Dibon, and Soboninkun. Because the skill level of the dancers was really up there, Aicha put together lots of challenging moves and an awesome choreography. It really was fun drumming for the dancers—eye-candy every step along the way
Sunday evening, the five teachers put up a concert. Sibo explained that his was quite special for them because the three brothers (Sana, Sibo, and Bangouraké) don't get to play together all that often. They all have busy schedules, and Sana lives in Brisbane, whereas Sibo and Bangouraké live in Sydney. So they really let it rip. People normally would pay big dollars to get to hear a world-class performance like this—we got it thrown in for free as part of the camp! The concert was open to the general public too, with tickets sold separately, so we had a full house. Rhythms included Balakulania, Tiriba, Zaouli, Keyim Ba, and one rhythm that I didn't recognize.
I uploaded a short sound clip of the Zaouli break in the media section.
Ruthie did the catering the for everyone, and the food she put up was truly spectacular. (I find myself going to quite a few of these camps just for the food—the drumming is sort of an extra bonus )
So, overall, this was an excellent camp: great teachers, great dancers, beautiful location, good company, outstanding food, and everything well organized. It looks like this camp will happen again next year. If you can, come along to the next one—this is shaping up to be one of the best workshops in Australia each year!

5-Megapixel, USB3.0, Color Camera
Sentech's USB3.0 cameras are ideal choices for planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. The STC-MCA5MUSB3 is an ultra-compact, high-frame-rate, color CMOS camera. At full 5-megapixel resolution it can capture 14 frames per second (fps). The scalable resolution offers frame rates up to 123 fps (at 640x480).
Most USB video cameras used for solar system imaging capture data at 8-bit depth. While this is fine for most planetary imaging, a higher bit-depth can be preferable for solar imaging where the extra dynamic range allows for capturing both surface detail and prominences in the same exposure. The Sentech cameras can capture 10-bit data at 1/2 the full frame rate, and 12-bit data at 1/4 the full frame rate.
