The City of Willits water continues to have an unpleasant taste and smell due to a problem with algae in its Morris Reservoir. City Manager Adrienne Moore continues to assure water users the water is safe to drink. Willits Mayor Holly Madrigal described the taste and smell as "pond like."
"The City is continuing to receive calls regarding the recent issues with taste and odor of City water. Although we had hoped the situation would be resolved by now; in fact, it is continuing. To recap, this is a completely natural occurrence resulting from low reservoir levels during warm weather months (water temperatures are warmer with lower levels) and record-breaking heat following by a cold snap, which resulted in an unusually high algae bloom. This was a "perfect storm" of natural conditions and many other communities have been dealing with the same conditions," says Moore in a press release.
The water developed this unpleasant characteristic in early August and is attributed to a profusion of algae in the reservoir. Algae is naturally present in the water and while the algae itself is filtered from the water, if present in high concentrations it leaves behind and objectionable flavor and aroma.
Algal blooms are a well known phenomena to most water reservoir operators. While algae is naturally present in the reservoir it usually is not present in a quantity sufficient to cause water palatability issues. Algae prospers when temperatures are high, the days are long, and the lake is still.
Historically the city used frequent applications of copper sulfate algicide to the water surface to kill the algae during the summer. In September 2012 the city installed two leased Solar Bees to replace the copper sulfate treatment. The Solar Bees use a solar powered pump to bring cooler water from deeper in the lake to the surface. This cools the lake water surface temperatures and provides somes surface water movement. Thousands of these devices are used in water reservoirs around the world.
"This new system has been working well; however, the recent algae bloom was far more extensive for the system to be able to handle, says Moore. "City staff is regularly consulting with SolarBee representatives to address our recent conditions."
"As well, City staff tests our water several times a week, with results reported regularly to the California Department of Public Health. Customers should be assured that City water is still completely safe to consume. Using lemon slices and refrigerating your water will improve the taste," says Moore.
"[Willits water] customers are welcome to call the California Department of Public Health directly at their regional office in Santa Rosa, at (707) 576-2145, with any further questions or concerns."

Hello there,
I am one of the several language enthusiasts out there, my native language is Hungarian. In 2014 I want to learn as much pāli as possible, then we will see if I will continue it or not. I don't really know anyone else to ask from, so registered here in hope of getting some answers about issues I encountered very early in my studies. You see, I started the journey with De Silva's Pali Primer, but found a few things that are bothering me either about the language, or the book itself.
1) The author starts to use a form of english genitive through pronouns in his examples from like his fourth lesson. Let me give you an example from the book:
Puttā mātulehi pañhe pucchanti. Based on my understandings so far, this sentence breaks down to "son (pl.) - from uncles - questions - they ask". So it should mean something like "sons ask questions from uncles".
The confusing part is the following: The author keeps giving translations like "their uncles", "the sons" in several cases and occasions throughout the book, that makes me confused about the language itself. How do definite articles work in pāli? Can the given example really express that we are talking about the sons' uncles?
2) In Lesson 7, the author introduces the Sattamī (Locative) case, which I can't really understand perfectly through his examples. This case should be used to express the location of something, and so he writes so in the very first examples, as kassaka + e / mhi / smiŋ = kassake, kassakamhi, kassakasmiŋ (in / on / at the farmer).
When he starts giving example sentences, then I found myself completely confused with this case. It's used in sentences I wouldn't expect it to be used.
Sappo narasmiŋ patati. or Putto mātulamhi pasīdati.. I'd expect accusative in both sentences, because he stated in the earlier lessons, that that's the case used for goals of a motion, or to express the object of a sentence. (pleased with)
Most of the exercise examples are okay to me, because they are about lions standing ON things, or clothes worn ON people, people eating rice IN houses, etc. What's the correct way to distinguish between accusative and locative when you are talking about the goals of a motion?
3) Asking from people having more experience with it, is this book for reference only? I got it because the publisher and websites said it's a great introduction to the language, and perfect for people not feeling prepared for "The Warder" yet. Should I actually switch to that book, even if I do not know sanksrit?
Thank you everyone reading this, and even more thanks for any response.

As Clayton celebrates its centennial anniversary, LN asked some longtime Clayton business leaders about their hopes for the city's next 100 years.
Margo Green, Green Cordonnier & House
I would hope that Clayton will develop a nightlife. I believe the city is wonderful during daytime hours. But in the evening, people tend to go all over the county instead of coming to Clayton. I would like to see more entertainment, restaurants and stores open at night. The city should focus on making the business community thrive morning, noon and night.
Robert Morrissey, Clark Graves Antiques
I hope Clayton continues to prosper as the prestigious economic, residential and civic hub that it is today. Clayton is a beautiful city, and I'm proud that Clark Graves Antiques is one of its oldest corporate citizens. As an art and antiques dealer who's worked in Clayton for 30 years, and whose shop has been here for nearly 65, I have aesthetic concerns for the city. I hope its leaders make careful, thoughtful decisions that will affect the look and feel of our community for decades.
Alisse Camazine, Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal
I would hope that Clayton will be a thriving area with cultural activities that include new venues for music and entertainment. Additional areas for small theater companies would ideally be developed. It would be wonderful if there could be other activities like the Clayton Art Fair that regularly brought people into the area from all over the country and brought the community together. I also envision a high-tech courthouse that would allow the lawyers and litigants to have the courthouse they deserve (and that I will unfortunately miss). And of course, what would the area be like without bike and walking paths! Do we have to wait 100 years?
Stafford Manion, Gladys Manion Real Estate
I can remember the Clayton of the past with a few small shops and Port of St. Louis being the only restaurant in Clayton open for dinner. In the evening, the only cars to be seen were police cars cruising the empty streets. In the recent past, Clayton has flourished into St. Louis' premier business district and one of the most sought-after residential, shopping and dining destinations in the metropolitan area. My hope for the future is to maintain the charm and integrity of the city for those living and working here.
Richard Sems, PNC Bank
I hope Clayton will be the seat of the joint county-city. I also hope that Clayton continues to become a financial services juggernaut—it really has the opportunity to be that in the Midwest. I also have a hope for Clayton that there will be a lot more buildings like the Centene building. In the downtown, I envision greener skyscrapers—with green parks on the roofs—replacing old skyscrapers. Clayton also has a great school system and visionary leaders, so my hope would be to continue its core competency. And I'm hopeful that Annie Gunn's will put a place in Clayton.
Gene Diederich, Moneta Group
A century from now, my wish is that Clayton will proudly celebrate its bicentennial, toasted by the same vibrant, progressive and innovative business and residential community that calls it home today. That its beautiful homes, natural landscapes and recreational resources endure and that it remains a center for commerce, a hub for our bustling dining scene, a steward of our environment and a wonderful mix of families, empty-nesters and corporate citizens.
Sherry Delo, Delo Advisors
To me, Clayton is an almost perfect community. Here, business and residents function together to provide a no-deficit tax base for services that prepare young people for the future by providing superior schools, beautiful green spaces and affordable recreation. My forever hope for Clayton is for the city to retain its common-sense approach to government and to construct a long-term strategic plan to increase diversity of the citizens who live here; convert infrastructure, including residences, to green architecture; eliminate poverty; expand the city's boundaries to allow increasing numbers of people to benefit from the city's schools and services; expand the city's heart—the places where people come together to shop, dine, work and play; and remain solvent. And last, but not least, may Clayton stay friendly.
Sam Hais, Hais, Hais, Goldberger & Coyne
My hope for Clayton is the same as my hope for our nation: Strive to keep government as honest, responsive, professional and unobtrusive as humanly possible. Also, bring back The Branding Iron Restaurant, the Shady Oak Theater and Velvet Freeze.

PLEASANTON, Calif. Ross Stores reported earnings per share for the 13 weeks ended July 31 of $1.07, up from 82 cents for the 13 weeks ended Aug. 1, 2009. These results reflect a 30% increase on top of a 52% gain in the second quarter of 2009. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2010 grew 25% to a record $129.3 million, from $103.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, according to the company. Sales for the 13 weeks ended July 31 increased 8% to $1.912 billion, with comparable-store sales up 4% on top of a 3% gain in the prior year.
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, earnings per share were $2.24, up from $1.55 for the six months ended August 1, 2009. These results represent 45% growth on top of a 37% increase in earnings per share during the first half of 2009. Net earnings for the six months ended July 31 grew to a record $271.6 million, up 39% from $194.8 million in the prior year period. Sales for the first six months of 2010 increased 11% to $3.847 billion, with comparable-store sales up 7% on top of a 3% gain last year.
Michael Balmuth, vice chairman and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with the solid sales gains and healthy earnings increases we delivered in the second quarter and first six months of 2010. Our profit growth for both periods is especially noteworthy, considering it was on top of robust double digit gains in the prior year. Our ability to deliver compelling bargains, while operating our business on much lower inventories, remains the primary driver of our strong results. The best performing merchandise categories during the second quarter and year to date periods were home, dresses and shoes. Geographic trends were relatively broadbased, with the strongest performance in Florida."
Looking ahead, Balmuth said, "Predicting the future in today's uncertain macro-economic and retail climate remains challenging. We also face extremely tough comparisons in the second half of the year, as same-store sales grew 9% and earnings per share rose 67% in the prior year period. As a result, we are maintaining a somewhat cautious outlook concerning our sales and earnings targets for the second half of 2010."
For the 13 weeks ending Oct. 30, the company projects that same-store sales will grow 1% to 2% on top of an 8% increase in the prior year. Third-quarter 2010 earnings per share are forecast to be in the range of 79 cents to 83 cents compared with 84 cents in last year's third quarter, which included a 9 cent benefit from better-than-expected shortage results in 2009.

Longtime Los Altos resident William E. Shine, an avid community volunteer who organized the city's 1976 Bicentennial parade and celebration, died June 30. Mr. Shine was 92.
A native of Indianapolis, Mr. Shrine graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School before enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II.
Deployed to the European Theater in 1944, Sgt. Shine was a surgical technician in the Company B 305th Medical Battalion and served with Gen. George S. Patton's Third Army.
He was wounded in October 1944 near Metz, France, and subsequently awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Honorably discharged in 1945, Mr. Shine was a disabled veteran for the remainder of his life.
He earned a degree from the University of Notre Dame following the war, not long before marrying Joan Baltz in 1950. A brief visit to California before the war impressed Mr. Shine enough for him to convince his wife that they should move West with their first child.
They settled in Los Altos in 1952, the year of the city's incorporation. The Shines raised five children, all of whom graduated from Los Altos High School between 1969 and 1977.
Mr. Shine's numerous volunteer efforts – from organizing the Bicentennial parade to leading a fundraising drive for the library's fountain and redwood deck – earned him the Los Altos Board of Realtors' Community Service Award in 1981.
A lover of music and sports, Mr. Shine was actively involved in Little League and in 1979 helped establish the Music in the Air concerts, presented by the music departments at Foothill College and Los Altos and Awalt high schools.
A singer in church choirs during high school and college, Mr. Shine was a member of the St. William Parish choir and belonged to a barbershop quartet.
Mr. Shine is survived by the mother of his children, Joan Shine of Mountain View; daughters Joan Jones of Santa Clara and Theresa Swilley of Oakdale; sons William Shine Jr. of Mountain View and Damian Shine of Alpharetta, Ga.; brother Robert of Corvallis; sister Mary of Indianapolis; and eight grandchildren.
Services have been held.

Ailing Gomes pinch-hits, stays in lineup
CLEVELAND -- Yan Gomes was out of the Indians' starting lineup for the second day in a row due to neck stiffness on Sunday, giving first-year man Roberto Perez the starting nod at catcher in his place. By the ninth inning of Sunday's game, however, he was feeling well enough to pinch-hit for Perez.
"We were going to hit him in the at-bat before if somebody got on," Tribe manager Terry Francona said.
Gomes collected a two-out single and then stayed in for the remainder of the game. The Brazilian-born backstop is hitting .283 with 14 home runs on the year and has appeared in 96 of the Tribe's 111 games.
Francona revealed that Gomes began experiencing discomfort on Friday, when he was removed in the sixth inning of the Tribe's blowout 12-2 win over the Rangers.
"Last night was a day off, which he knew he was going to get," Francona said before Sunday's game. "The idea when you give a guy a day off is to feel good physically and he comes back and he's battling his neck. I just don't know if that makes sense."

|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. The tools to systematically study the extent to which genetic variation determines risk of and progression of atherosclerosis are only now becoming available.
The study will evaluate the role of genetic variation in inflammatory pathway genes at 29 loci on the risk and progression of carotid artery atherosclerotic disease (CAAD). Genes to be evaluated include those potentially involved in plaque initiation and progression. The investigators will evaluate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) informative for the common locus haplotypes. Choice of informative polymorphisms for evaluation is based on the genes' evolutionary history. They will evaluate progression effects in subjects with CAAD followed longitudinally by noninvasive magnetic resonance (MR) techniques over 3 years. Risk will be evaluated by case-control comparisons. In additions to evaluating genetic polymorphisms, they will evaluate the intervening phenotypes of protein level for fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, and interleukin-6. Independence of genetic predictors from traditional cardiovascular risk factors will be evaluated.
The major specific aims are: Aim 1. Test for inflammatory genetic effects and protein level in CAAD progression in 550 subjects with CAAD (275 with 15-49% and 275 with 50-79% baseline CAAD stenosis) evaluated by 3-year magnetic resonance image follow-up of percent lumen stenosis; Aim 2. Determine whether the variation in the inflammatory genes or protein levels predicts 810 case vs. 810 control status with a case distribution of 335 subject with 15-49%, 275 with 50-75% and 200 with >80% carotid artery stenosis at baseline. Age (onset of vascular disease for cases, current age for controls)-, sex-, race-, and hospital-matched controls will have less than 15% stenosis on carotid duplex ultrasound. Genes that are implicated in disease may eventually allow targeted therapy.

Frank, I put a floating frame without dividers in my Chimp and the PVC never moved around. My problem was that the frame would push up against the putter pocket and only allow me to fit one disc in the putter pocket, or risk warping the second one. I'm guessing that the Silverback and Kong don't have that problem with that extra pocket behind the outside putter pocket.
In the end I decided to cut 1" PVC and get some 1/2" (or 3/4", I can't remember) end caps in my Chimp. The pipe slides over the end caps to stay in place, and now all my discs sit flat all the way up to the edge of the frame, and I can fit an additional disc in there because I cut the PVC pipes a little long. I used the existing holes in the corrugated plastic for my end caps.

Return to Nationals Park bittersweet for Porter
WASHINGTON -- Tuesday night's game against the Nationals marked Astros manager Bo Porter's first trip to Nationals Park since Game 5 of the 2012 National League Division Series, when the Cardinals beat the Nats, 9-7, to end Washington's season. Porter was finishing his second season as the Nationals' third-base coach and had already accepted the job in Houston.
"It's always nice to come back to a place in which you know a lot of people," Porter said. "We had some really good times here. Two-thousand twelve was a special season. We had the best record in baseball (98-64). It didn't end the way we all wanted to in the end, but all in all I have a lot of great friends here. It's a great place to play baseball, and I'm excited to be back with our ballclub, and we're playing well as well."
Porter was seen by some as a prime candidate to take over for former Washington manager Davey Johnson, who wound up retiring after the 2013 season. For Porter, the chance to manage in his hometown of Houston was too good to pass up. Even when the Nationals' season ended, Porter was too bummed out to focus on his coming job.
"Game 5 of the NLDS was probably the lowest moment of my life," Porter said. "It's the last time I was in this ballpark. At that moment, I think there were tears, there was frustration, there was sadness. We had just lost Game 5, and we felt like we had a world championship-caliber team."

A NEW German-style bank for Hampshire is winning support from civic chiefs.
Winchester City Council has expressed interest in the bank which aims to support local people and business.
The Hampshire Community Bank would be a not-for-profit operation providing a full range of services to individuals, businesses and social enterprises living, working or operating in the county.
The Cabinet has welcomed the idea. Stephen Godfrey, portfolio holder for finance, said: "This support is very much in line with our own priorities for ensuring a thriving local economy in Winchester. It is the right course of action to take.
"We are expressing interest in setting money aside," said Cllr Godfrey.
The council is considering financial support of £250,000 to become a founding member of the bank along with other local authorities.
The bank needs £14 million to start up, the Cabinet heard.
Rob Humby, council leader, said: "Cabinet is backing this initiative, subject to full Council approval, because the Hampshire Community Bank can be a major new element of our support to the Winchester economy, helping local people and businesses.
"Experts believe there is demand in the market for a bank that serves the needs of the local community and works with businesses, councils and charities to deliver sustainable economic growth and fulfil social objectives.
"Similar not-for-profit operations have worked successfully in Germany for 200 years and account for three-quarters of all retail bank deposits and lending to small and medium-sized enterprises there."

Miller 'motivated' in second full big league season
LAKELAND, Fla. -- When the Cardinals lost the 2013 World Series to the Red Sox in six games, right-hander Shelby Miller never took the mound. After a stellar rookie season that included 15 wins and a 3.06 ERA, he pitched only once in the postseason, throwing one inning in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Pirates.
It just so happens that Miller's first appearance of 2014 will come against Boston, which travels to Jupiter, Fla., on Wednesday. But Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said on Monday that the timing of Miller's opening Grapefruit League start is just a coincidence.
"That wasn't how it was lined up. This wasn't his retribution for Boston," Matheny said. "I think Shelby is going to be motivated no matter who he's going to pitch against."
After winning the No. 5 spot in the team's rotation last spring, Miller got off to a tremendous start. He was 7-3 with a 1.91 ERA over his first 12 outings before falling off a bit the rest of the way, and then finding himself left out of the postseason rotation.
Since then, Matheny has observed plenty of development from a 23-year-old pitcher who threw his four-seam fastball more than 70 percent of the time as a rookie.
"I see his stuff being better," Matheny said. "I see he's worked hard on his secondary pitches. I've seen a little more diversity, and he's a more well-rounded pitcher.
"I like how he's going about it. He's just doing everything right. He's working hard. He's saying the right things. He's working on the right things. He's just maturing."

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Marc Chagall's poetic, figurative style has established him as one of the most popular modern art painters. Born in 1877 in the Jewish town of Vitebsk, Russia, Chagall developed an early interest in art. After studying painting in 1907 he left for Paris, where he met Apollinaire, Delaunay, Leger, Modigliani and Lhote, becoming a prominent figure within the so-called Ecole de Paris. Influenced by cubism and fauvism, Chagall fused these with personal, dreamlike imagery to develop his own distinctive style.

Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed mortgages fell this week, with the current rate borrowers were quoted on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace at 4.16 percent, down from 4.19 percent at this same time last week.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate peaked at 4.22 percent last Tuesday before plummeting Wednesday afternoon to 4.14 percent, where rates continued to hover for the remainder of the week.
"Last week, rates dipped to the lowest level in seven weeks as weaker-than-expected home sales and continued concerns over geo-political stability in Ukraine kept downward pressure on rates," said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. "This week, we expect more volatility as both the mid-week Federal Open Market Committee announcement and Friday's jobs report have the potential to move markets."
Additionally, the 15-year fixed mortgage rate this morning was 3.15 percent, and for 5/1 ARMs, the rate was 2.81 percent.

In a victory for supporters of LGBT equality, a Texas appeals court has rejected an effort to recall El Paso Mayor John Cook and two other council members over their support of domestic partner benefits for unmarried city employees.
Texas' 8th Court of Appeals ruled unanimously on Friday that recall organizers, led by anti-gay Pastor Tom Brown, broke the law in gathering petition signatures for the recall election, which had been scheduled for this spring.
After the El Paso City Council first approved DP benefits for gay and straight city workers in 2009, Brown spearheaded a ballot measure that overturned them in 2010. Last year, after the City Council voted to restore DP benefits, Brown's group launched its recall effort, which was challenged in court by Cook. A county judge initially ruled against Cook, but the appeals court overturned that decision.
The El Paso chapter of PFLAG issued a statement Friday saying: "It is with jubilation that the recall election, supported by Christian bigots, has finally reached the finish line. The judges clearly saw that this attempt was purely done out of hatred, disguised as the word of God."
Brown and others may also face criminal charges based on the appeals court's ruling, which found that his Word of Life Church violated a statute prohibiting corporate political contributions to recall elections. The court also found that Brown's group, El Pasoans for Traditional Family Values, illegally raised money in support of the recall when it wasn't registered as a political action committee.
Brown said recall organizers will appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court, but an attorney for Mayor Cook believes it's highly unlikely the high court would take the case. Cook, who cast the deciding vote in favor of restoring DP benefits last year, reportedly has spent $225,000 on his lawsuit seeking to block the recall. The mayor said he now plans to seek monetary damages against Brown's group.

Should we at this point play Moore or Devlin to see if they have anything else to offer and possibly save the season or do we tank it and position ourselves for the upcoming draft? d-1

North Dakota abortion law blocked by federal judge
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A federal judge has temporarily blocked a new North Dakota law that bans abortion when a fatal heartbeat is detected - as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland in Bismarck granted a temporary injunction Monday that blocks the law from taking effect on Aug. 1.
The law was passed this year by the North Dakota Legislature. It would outlaw the procedure as early as six weeks into pregnancy and before some women know they are pregnant.
The law was one of four that the Republican-controlled Legislature and GOP Gov. Jack Dalrymple passed this year that combined make North Dakota the most restrictive state in the nation in which to get an abortion.

Ray 550 — By Richard Thiel
— October 2001
|Sea Ray's new 550 Sundancer may look familiar, but looks can be deceiving.
Funny how the same word can have totally different meanings in different contexts. Take "makeover." When a woman has one, it means she has subjected herself to a thorough reexamination of her appearance–everything from hair to shoes–with nothing less of a goal than recreating herself. But when the term is applied to a boat, it takes on a wholly different–and distinctly less positive–meaning. A made-over boat is usually considered something of an orphan, typically a model whose sales aren't so bad that it warrants elimination yet are good enough that it isn't worth the investment of creating an entirely new model. In this scenario the builder typically changes some exterior paint, accents, and interior fabrics, maybe slaps a new model name on it, and often promotes it as "new."
Not every builder does it that way. Take Sea Ray. Last year it looked at its 540 Sundancer, then a four-year-old boat, and decided that while a popular seller, it needed major refinements and updating. In typical Sea Ray fashion, the marketing department didn't make this decision; it came directly from customers via the dealer network. They presented the company's Product Development and Engineering department with a specific list of improvements that would be required to keep sales strong. The result, the 550 Sundancer, is admittedly not a truly new boat (all dimensions are unchanged) but rather a made-over one that is substantially, though subtly, different from her predecessor.
The principal complaint with the 540 was that on first entering the saloon, some people thought it felt too dark and confining, so Sea Ray designers started by installing a large skylight right in the middle, complete with sunshade. (There is also a skylight in each head.) To open up things even more, they flip-flopped the saloon layout: Where the 540's galley occupied the port side and a couch was along the starboard side, the 550 is precisely the opposite. This move also included moving the forward port bulkhead ahead by about a foot, so now, as you step down the companionway, you're greeted not by a bulkhead just a few feet away but by one separated from you by about seven feet of curvy Ultraleather HP couch. That unit, incidentally, is longer by about a foot but still electrically converts to a double berth.
While the sofa is longer, the galley is about two feet shorter, yet because it's curved, there's actually more counter space. And it's better in other ways, too. The previous laminate countertops have been replaced by ones of considerably more attractive Karadon, and there's now a large Plexiglas and stainless steel wine rack beneath the aft end of the counter. Cabinet space is also increased because instead of using some of it to hold the 20-inch TV, as in the 540, visual entertainment now comes via a 42-inch Sony plasma screen unit mounted directly on the outboard wall.

Detailed Description:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an emerging problem in patients with treated HIV. Antiretroviral therapy associated renal dysfunction has been predominantly described in terms of reduced glomerular filtration (eGFR). Proteinuria is a key component of CKD and may occur in the absence of significant reductions in eGFR. This substudy is an exploration of changes in urinary protein excretion in a randomised, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MVC as a switch for either nucleoside or nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N(t)RTI) or boosted protease inhibitors (PI/r) in HIV-1 infected individuals with stable, well-controlled plasma HIV-RNA while taking their first N(t)RTI + PI/r regimen of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).

"I'm eight strokes behind two of the greatest golfers in the sport, they've never blown a lead in their lives and I'm going to win. You know why?...Panic, Adele. Pure panic."
- Rannulph Junuh in "The Legend of Bagger Vance"
San Diego State football coach Rocky Long doesn't believe in panic. He says that the second a competitor starts to fear something, he ceases being a competitor and "should just give it up."
But in this case, with the Aztecs heading into the most manic of atmospheres against No. 3 Ohio State, panic can only serve as an ally. The only thing SDSU has to fear? A lack of fear itself.
Actually, when playing the Buckeyes, there's a lot more to fear than that. There's a 13-game winning streak that would have pitted OSU in the national championship game last season had it been eligible, coach Urban Meyer's ruthless desire to run up the score, and highlight-per-snap quarterback Braxton Miller's very realistic pursuit of the Heisman Trophy.
If you're the Aztecs, it doesn't seem like practice would be the way to prepare for Ohio State so much as bungee jumping. But Saturday, SDSU shouldn't want to calm its jitters -- it should want to give them a gallon of Red Bull each.
Fear was conspicuously absent in the Aztecs' 40-19 loss against Eastern Illinois last Saturday. The result was an equally conspicuous absence of aptitude on either side of the ball.
Ask a soldier and he'll tell you that being frightened doesn't debilitate so much as it heightens every sense you have while possibly creating new ones. And after last week's drubbing at Qualcomm...boy, does San Diego State have plenty to be frightened about.
Two weeks ago, the general public saw Saturday's game in Columbus as a measuring stick -- an opportunity to gauge how the ever-improving Aztecs stacked up against the nation's elite. Now, it has to view this matchup like a dinner with the in-laws, where you just hope it doesn't go that badly.
A 50-point loss Saturday could have ramifications that go beyond immediate humiliation. It could break the spirit of a conference co-champion already made fragile by that EIU pounding.
Some folks think that playing a top-tier program can only bring about growth; that it's like putting a donut on a baseball bat to make future swings easier. But if you pull a muscle because the donut was too heavy, it suddenly looks awfully counterproductive, no?
Long said earlier this week that he and his team are more concerned about how they play than who they are playing, and that they can take a loss while still feeling like they improved. Receiver Colin Lockett echoed that sentiment while implying that the players the Aztecs see in the mirror are of greater significance that the ones across the line of scrimmage.
"It's all on us," Lockett said. "We're not worried about the score or it being 42-0 at halftime. We're all D-1 athletes, and there comes a time where there is going to be adversity. That's college football, the ups and downs. We're in a place we haven't really been before, I guess you could say. But it's going to come down to us."
The fact that SDSU has a history of playing the Buckeyes close is irrelevant. What's far more encouraging is that, after consecutive losses to San Jose State and Fresno State last year, the Aztecs rattled off six straight wins that included road games vs. Nevada and Boise State.
In college football, outcomes from the previous week are often no better a predictor than a coin turning up tails. SDSU still has a chance to showcase itself Saturday and retain the confidence necessary to defend a Mountain West championship.
But for players to be without fear? To not feel more than a tinge of panic? To not tremble with terror at what Buckeyes are capable of doing to them?
That would be scary.

A Climate in Mexico Overview
Topography of Mexico
The Climate in Mexico varies according to its topography.
- Along the coast (on both sides of the country) it is hot and humid, unbearably so in the summer.
- Inland communities at higher elevations such as Guadalajara (5200 ft above sea level) and in particular close-by Lake Chapala, are much dryer and more temperate.
- Mexico City (Ciudad de Mexico), with its much higher elevation of 7545 ft (2300 sq meters) above sea level, can reach freezing temperatures in the winter. You'll be surprised to find snow-capped volcanoes. San Miguel de Allende also experiences somewhat colder winters due to its close proximity to Mexico City.
Source BBC – regarding climate in Mexico
|Mexico, the largest country of Central America, is bordered on the north by the United States and on the south by Guatemala and Belize.About three times as large as Texas, it is shaped roughly like a wedge, widest in the north and tapering to the narrow Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the south. It is situated between 14° and 32°N, the northern half of the country lying outside the tropics.
Almost two-thirds of the country consists of plateaux and high mountains with a climate that is warm-temperate; other parts have a tropical climate with temperature reduced by altitude.
There are three important climatic influences which help to determine the character of the climate in Mexico and her different regions. The cold Californian current, which sweeps southwards on the Pacific coast, has the effect of lowering temperatures and reducing rainfall on the west coast as far south as the tip of the peninsula of Lower California.
This and the influence of the North Pacific anticyclone help to make much of northwestern Mexico desert or semi-desert; this is a continuation of the dry zone of the United States in southern California, New Mexico, and Arizona.
The warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, and the influence of the constant northeast trade winds, make the eastern coastal region a typical tropical coast with a marked single wet season in summer. The weather and climate of this region, particularly south of Tampico, have much in common with that of the Caribbean Islands.
An important influence is the presence to the north of the great continental landmass of North America. This area becomes very cold in winter – particularly when cold air sweeps down from the Canadian Arctic – and very warm in summer. The northern part of Mexico shares these extreme temperature conditions.
In winter cold waves, or 'northers', can bring near-freezing conditions for a few days to the east coast as far south as Tampico or Veracruz. Snow has fallen as far south as Tampico, which is within the tropics. The west coast is protected from such cold waves by the mountains and plateaux of central Mexico.
As in other mountainous South and Central American countries, the climatic zones are described on the basis of altitude, using Spanish terms: tierra caliente, the area below about 600 m/2,000 ft; tierra templada, the land between 600 m/2,000 ft and 1,800 m/6,000 ft; and tierra fria, the mountains and plateaux above this level.
Only a very narrow coastal belt on the Pacific shore falls into the tierra caliente category, but there is a more extensive area on the Caribbean shore, including the whole Yucatan peninsula.
The largest part of Mexico falls into tierra templada and tierra fria. This division takes little account of rainfall and is mainly on the basis of temperature. In most of the tierra fria, frost is frequent at night in winter and snow can occur anywhere, but only lies above 3,000-3,600 m/10,000-12,000 ft.
The rainy season over the whole country is the period of high sun from May to October. The rest of the year is not completely rainless, but the amount and frequency of rain in the winter season is low.
The wettest part of the country is the lowland on the Caribbean coast; the north coast of the Yucatan peninsula is relatively much drier than the east coast or the interior. Annual rainfall here is between 1,000 m/40 in and 1,500 m/60 in, but some places in northern Yucatan get less than 500 mm/20 in.
The shores of the Pacific and Gulf of California, north of the Tropic of Cancer, get less than 250 mm/10 in of rain a year, but this increases southwards to between 1,000 mm/40 in and 1,500 mm/60 in. Rainfall is heaviest where the coast is backed by high mountains.
On the plateau, where some of the winter precipitation may fall as snow, the annual rainfall is rather less than on the coast. Much of the plateau is sheltered from maritime influences by the high mountains of the eastern and western Sierra Madre so that it has a reduced rainfall. Annual amounts of 500 mm/20 in or less in the extreme north to 875 mm/35 in in the centre and south are typical of the central highland region.
Most of Mexico has sunny weather for a large part of the year. The cloudiest regions are the wetter parts of the east coast and the northern part of the Pacific coast, where low cloud and fog are formed over the cold ocean current. The drier regions of the interior and much of the tierra templada have high amounts of sunshine: as much as seven or eight hours a day in the drier months to five or six during the wetter season.
The table for Guaymas is representative of the drier northwest of the country. Conditions in the interior are represented by the tables for Monterrey and Mexico City; these show a larger daily range of temperature. Monterrey is at the upper limit of the tierra caliente, while Mexico City is typical of the tierra fria.
The table for Mérida, in northern Yucatan, Acapulco and Salina Cruz, on the Pacific coast in the south, show the higher and typically tropical temperatures of the southern lowlands. Mérida is wetter than some parts of Yucatan. The combination of heat and humidity can be rather uncomfortable during the wet season. Otherwise most of Mexico has a healthy and reasonably pleasant climate for most of the year.
At the altitude of Mexico City and above, visitors may take a few days to adjust to the lower atmospheric pressure as sudden exertion can lead to breathlessness. On the higher parts of the plateau the sun may at times feel very powerful by day and the rapid drop of temperature at night may strike very chilly.
Both the east and west coasts of Mexico are occasionally affected by tropical storms that develop in the Caribbean or the Pacific and bring two or three days of heavy rain. These are most likely to occur in the months August to October. Very few of these reach the strength of fully developed hurricanes; if they do, the east-coast districts are more liable to severe damage.

Hi Everyone! Took me most of the week to get this set polished and ready to show. I bought these the woman said they were not silver, and boy were they dirty! I figured I would give it a shot for a few bucks. Turns out they are silver, my test showed higher than 92.5 or Sterling.
I am not sure about this, but I theorize that these are several sets put together. All have really nice detail with different Mexican/Mayan finials. The picks have tiny hooks on the back, I am guessing to either help with grip or to hang off an appetizer plate. If anyone thinks they are something different please let me know. I am not sure if they are old or valuable, but at the very least it is 2.5 ounces of silver. Thanks!!!
