Yeah, the rest of Blu's predictions this year went so well you might as well mark IU down for the national title...
In all seriousness--I would absolutely love to see IU/Butler in the tournament. That game would be a flat out war.
Rotnei Clarke has officially been ruled out for the Gonzaga game. Totally understandable and probably the right thing but still a major bummer.

Richmond still a winnable game, and Stevens is a witch so who knows about Gonzaga.
I've never really thought about the implications of a conversation between a player and a team doctor being over heard by the camera and broadcast on television.

I'd rather have Clarke 100% for the rest of the A-10 schedule, but it'll suck for everyone involved that he's missing the Gonzaga game.
You forgot about the MWC, the 3rd best conference in the nation this year. I would say the A-10 is in the 3rd tier with Pac-12, SEC, ACC, and Big 12.
Very good article on Brad Stevens and Shaka Smart.

I know it probably shouldn't be at this point but seeing that Stevens is 153-42 (.785) as a head coach is still pretty startling.

There is no way Clarke is sitting the Gonzaga game. You guys know this right?
Uhh, no.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."

Yeah, except for that part where they already said he's sitting out the Gonzaga game.
He's already been ruled out so............... ur good

Surgeries Related to Depression
I have been depressed for a number of years. I was married to an emotionally abusive husband for 19 years. During this time is was diagnosed with breast cancer followed by a lympectomy and chemo and radiation. In addition we had just adopted a little girl from China who was 6 months old. We already had a biological 8=year old child. In the following years I had a hip replacement, divorced by husband because he was seeing a number of woment and was emotionally abusive. JThen I had my other hip replaced. Ibe month later I was diagnosed with breast cancer again and underwent a mastectomy and two reconstructive surgeries. Last year I suffered a potential TIA and spent a week in the hospital for testing. During the course of the tests, a nodule was discovered on my lung (yes, I did smoke.)I had 30% of one lobe removed and found that the entire area was now clean. Throughout this entire ordeal, I continued my job as a special needs teacher and raised my daughter in college (my husband refused to give any money for her education) and my junir high daughter. I have no sick leave left in my job. My aides have been reporting any mistakes I make in the classroom. One aide is training to be a teacher and would eventually want my job. jThe environment at work is horrid with tension. I am just sitting and crying and don`t know what to do. I have thought of suicide but donjjj`t have the courage. My entire world is crumbling but where do I begin to make repairs when I only have energy to sit on the couch and cry. Where do I go for help? I feel so defeated. I know that there is an educated, take-control somewhere in this body, but where? Please help me. At my annual job I was told that my supervisor just about didn`t renew my contract because of my attendance. Instead, He is moving me to a new position (which may work out better since I will be working with different aides.) But I`m not even sure this is the direction I want to continue. I have worked in Early Childhood for 25 years. Sorry for the rambling but this is my mindset at the present time. Thank you for listening
I'm so sorry to hear of your current status and thoughts of suicide. I'm afraid NetWellness experts do not provide the necessary services to help you to combat how you are feeling. However, as suicide is often a sign of extreme distress but also one that can be treated, I would strongly encourage you to do one or more of the following things as soon as possible:
1. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 (website: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/help/default.aspx), which is free, confidential and staffed by trained counselors who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2. Contact a mental health specialist in your area who can help you work through your problems.
Take care of yourself and good luck.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - More than 10,000 people in the last week alone have already viewed a video going viral on the Internet that shows a motorist being arrested in Florida despite legally carrying a gun.
The dashboard cam video shows a Citrus County deputy arresting Joel Smith, the man with the gun, and now gun advocates say the video is proof Florida needs to change its current law.
"Your license tag expired," said Deputy Alan Cox in the video.
Seventeen seconds after getting out of the car, Smith was asked for his registration and insurance. As he turned, something was slightly visible in his back pocket.
"Why do you carry a gun for?" Cox asked.
Ten seconds later, Smith was being held at gunpoint.
"Put your hands right up, or I'll shoot you in the (expletive) back," Cox said. "Get down on the (expletive) ground now."
Smith is legally licensed to carry a concealed weapon, but was handcuffed and arrested anyway, charged with carrying a prohibited weapon openly.
The United Sportsmen of Florida calls it an overreaction.
"A law enforcement officer losing it and abusing a law-abiding citizen who had done nothing wrong, and was doing anything he could to cooperate," said Marion Hammer, of the United Sportsmen of Florida.
When the case got to the courthouse, the state attorney declined to prosecute, saying there was little chance a jury would convict.
Florida law was changed in 2011 to say the brief viewing of a gun in a non-threatening manner is not a crime. United Sportsmen said Smith's case and another are proof Florida needs to do more.
"They're arguing that the accidental exposure was not brief," Hammer said.
Smith's attorney for the arrest called Smith's cellphone and found the number had been changed. A listed landline is also no longer in service.
The charges against Smith were dropped 17 days after the arrest. Cox has been put on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

Yes! Yes! Yes! The Raw Review (#YYYTRR)
by, 07-02-2013 at 03:49 PM (4226 Views)
After one near perfect pay-per-view and two great Monday nights, WWE took its flagship show to Iowa for what was sure to be another great show…
It all started really well, with Daniel Bryan coming to the ring (in his new "Respect the Beard" t-shirt, which I MUST buy) and cutting another promo solidifying his role as a face. Up next was the emergence of the rest of the 'All Stars' Money in the Bank Ladder match (a redundant name by the way, especially since Jack Swagger – a former MitB winner – is deemed as a rising star for the World Heavyweight Championship briefcase) to cut a somewhat entertaining promo, followed by the one decent match of the night involving Christian, The Usos, and The Shield.
And that was about all anybody really needed to watch of this week's Raw.
I spent a large portion of last night on my Twitter account (@SpringerAJ, #YYYTRR) tearing into various aspects of Raw for my own, and my followers', amusement. The over-promotion of the main event Champion vs. Champion match between John Cena and Alberto Del Rio (I wish ADR would go back to being a face again, his heel persona isn't disliked for anything other than the fact that it is boring in my opinion – the non-reaction ADR got without Ricardo Rodriguez last night confirms that) was a big talking point on Twitter, but the thing which was criticised the most was the Iowa crowd. Yes, they were awful and seemed disinterested (and out of touch – "Fruity Pebbles" chants, really?) for the entire show, but the fact is that without anything interesting to take notice of there is no reason to cheer or boo anything or anyone.
This week WWE took their run of momentum from Payback and decided that Iowa would take the brunt for a show which was simply "phoned in".
Which of the 'All Stars' are 'money'?
With this week's Raw delivering very little outside of a number of less-than-stellar matches, one of the three highlights was found in the way of the opening promo (for those wondering, The Shield's triumph over Christian & The Usos and Jericho's commentary during Ryback vs. The Miz).
I'll admit that it did nothing to add tension or suggest winners for the match in two weeks' time (in fact, it just highlighted two new t-shirts for me to buy), but I have been thinking that maybe the result of this match isn't as straightforward as it seems…
Most people would assume that Daniel Bryan is poised to take the red briefcase and go on to face John Cena at SummerSlam (a move that would give Cena his first unpredictable title defence since he dethroned The Rock at WrestleMania XXIX), but I think there are other feasible possibilities.
Randy Orton is the superstar the majority of the IWC wants to turn heel in order to make him more interesting again, but no matter how many times he hits the RKO "outta nowhere!" on face superstars it does nothing but emit a cheer from any crowd. An Orton Money in the Bank win, however, would do more to help him take a new and meaningful direction. Obviously Orton has no need for the briefcase given his role as an instant main event superstar, but he is already known for gaining victories at any given moment. An RKO on a World Heavyweight Champion would give fans an instant 'pop', but just think of the possibilities if that champion was the likes of Dolph Ziggler after a long run as a face…
CM Punk noted that the returning Rob Van Dam is a "dark horse" going into Money in the Bank, and as true as this is (the briefcase could be cashed in at any moment, and would be even more surprising if a returning part-time superstar did so) there is just one more "dark horse" that could be overlooked – Christian.
Since his return, Captain Charisma has seemed out of place. It should be hard to overlook a victory over The Shield (they are few and far between, after all), but Christian's victory did nothing but disappoint me. And it's not that I'm not a fan of Christian (I am), but his return seems like a really pointless move right now. He is without a major storyline, and reports of him taking on a Chris Jericho-esque role of putting over the next generation of talent in this run signals that this could be his last hurrah. For this, admittedly very simple, reason I can imagine that Christian could come out of Money in the Bank victorious.
As far as a preferred winner goes, I'd rather see Orton or Bryan as the future WWE Champion.
With the run of momentum WWE did well to build in recent weeks coming to a halt, where do they go from here?
It is fairly obvious that Iowa has no interest in either main event Championship match being promoted for Money in the Bank, and I honestly have no interest in the John Cena/Mark Henry storyline. I have a slight interest in Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio, but only because I'm hoping that Ziggler can take back the title and save us all from the boredom of a heel Del Rio reign.
I want to take nothing away from the build to Money in the Bank based on one episode of Raw, but it looks like a weak card. It would be a real shame if WWE produced a poor show for one of my favourite PPVs, but I can take solace in the fact that Payback was a terrible show on paper.
This week's question regards the SmackDown Money in the Bank Ladder match: who do you think will win the blue briefcase and why?

Nearby corn futures rose slightly Monday night. Yellow grain prices seemingly sustained a bit of their strength from late last week, but the main driver of the modest advance was probably powered by concurrent gains in the soybean pit. Disappointing weekend rains left larger areas of Argentine fields stressed for moisture, thereby implying diminishing bean production in the weeks ahead. The South American corn crop is essentially (un)made at this point, which explains the modest CBOT response. March corn looks set to begin the week trading 1.25 cents higher, at $7.00/bushel, whereas December slipped 0.5 cent to $5.625 in Monday night action.
Soybean futures surged in Monday night-Tuesday morning trading. Argentina was blessed with widespread rainfall over the weekend, but the regions that needed the moisture the most reportedly received the least. Moreover, while forecasts indicate chanced for intermittent rainfall over the next 10 days, the chances of a soaking event are minimal. Thus, soybean futures may continue rising during the days ahead. March beans climbed 21.0 cents to $14.455 early Tuesday morning, while March soyoil rose 0.42 cents lower, to 52.04 cents/pound, and March meal gained $8.1 to $417.5/ton.
Wheat futures were mixed to slightly higher early Tuesday morning. Strength spilling over from the soybean pit was very likely the most supportive factor, whereas weather forecasts for the Central U.S. are probably weighing upon the market. A winter storm is expected to sweep across the Great Plains starting Wednesday, with the dry winter wheat areas of Kansas and Nebraska expected to get a good blanket of snow. That could do wonders for the forthcoming crop. That may weigh upon wheat futures later in the week. March CBOT wheat futures inched 0.25 cent higher to $7.425/bushel in early Tuesday electronic trading, while March KCBT wheat gained 1.25 cents to $7.7875, and March MGE futures slipped 0.5 cent to $8.23.
Cattle futures may start the week on a firm note, since prices were rallying late last week. Moreover, calf and yearling prices moved generally higher at the Oklahoma City auction Monday. However, a sustained move is not at all assured, especially after choice beef cutout fell rather sharply last Friday. That is, if packers prove unwilling to boost their bids for fed cattle, especially if wholesale prices are declining, the Chicago market could struggle. April cattle climbed 0.67 cents to 130.45 cents/pound at their Friday (2/15) close, while August advanced 0.67 cents to 126.72. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle ended last week having surged 0.70 cents to 143.37 cents/pound, and August jumped 0.67 cents to 156.90.
Hog futures suffered a substantial breakdown late last week, which almost surely reflected ongoing weakness at both the cash and wholesale levels. However, the nearby contracts posted strong rebounds from early lows, thereby suggesting the recent decline had run its course and the market was set to reverse. We suspect CME futures will open at moderately higher levels this morning. April hogs ended Friday having slipped 0.07 cents to 84.25 cents/pound, while June rose 0.25 cents to 92.95.
Cotton futures sustained their late surge from last week into the early morning hours of Tuesday. As has so often been the case lately, thereby has been little real news concerning the white fiber market. On Monday afternoon the ICE exchange did publish the latest report on deliverable stocks; those jumped almost 20,000 bales, with another 72,937 awaiting inspection. Thus, the overnight advance suggests other considerations were in play. For example, the global supply situation looks relatively tight if one assumes massive Chinese government stockpiles will not be released in the foreseeable future. March cotton surged 0.54 cents higher at 81.86 cents/pound early Tuesday morning, while December gained 0.30 cents to 83.55.

Knowing Will Porter as I do, I don't think he'll take offense to being labelled as a Fallout Geek. More like praise, or some sort of a badge of honor. I mean, the picture says plenty.
He's made it well known how much he loves the Fallout series, so I was curious to read his take on what we showed in the demo. I got to chat with him briefly at E3 after the demo and he seemed to like it, but he's now posted his lengthy preview over at CVG to give his more complete thoughts. It's worth a read for what he thought, what he liked, as well as his cavaets.
Plus, the first two paragraphs are hilarious. And yes, Chevy Chase is a real place Will, we promise. He posts fairly regularly over at PC Zone's blog as well if you enjoy reading his stuff.
Next week I'll be returning to Leipzig for the games convention, this time to show off Fallout 3 over on that side of the pond. So I'm sure more previews are going to be coming out of that. Should be an interesting show.

Singer/songwriter Jackson Browne will play a return engagement at the Coventry Grove amphitheater in Kensington at 3 p.m. May 12 to benefit Wavy Gravy's Camp Winnarainbow.
The outdoor venue at a private home will be a chance to see the top-selling performer with his full band and backup singers in an intimate setting, and Wavy Gravy, who will be the master of ceremonies, acknowledges that the up-close-and-personal aspect is reflected in the ticket price of $200 general admission. A $500 VIP ticket includes "priority seating, a limited edition event poster and access to the intimate post-concert reception with the artists."
Proceeds help underprivileged children leave the city and attend the summer performing arts camp that has been run for 35 years by Gravy and friends on his property in Laytonville.
"It's a pricey ticket, but heck, I don't want the camp to end up being for rich and middle class kids only," Gravy said from his Berkeley home.
As of Friday, about 60 percent of the tickets had been sold.
The show, the second benefit Browne has performed for the camp, will also mark Gravy's 77th birthday, which falls three days later. Gravy was 33 when he served as master of ceremonies of the legendary Woodstock festival in upstate New York in 1969.
"I have every intention of making it to when Woodstock is 50, because they are going to go nuts," he said.
For details and tickets for the Kensington show, visit http://campwinnarainbow-efbevent.eventbrite.com. To learn more about Camp Winnarainbow, visit www.campwinnarainbow.org.
CINCO DE MAYO: The San Pablo-Richmond Cinco de Mayo Unity Parade and Festival begins at 10 a.m. May 4 with a parade from Richmond Civic Center, at 27th Street and Nevin Avenue, to San Pablo City Hall, 13831 San Pablo Ave. Parade grand marshalls will be former San Pablo Councilman Joe Gomes, 97, and National Park service ranger Betty Reid Soskin, 91, of Richmond.
The free festival follows on the grounds of St. Paul Church, 1845 Church Lane in San Pablo, where the alcohol-free event will have food, entertainment, games and activities.
CORONADO CENTER RENAMING: The YMCA of the East Bay is renaming its Coronado Community Center at 263 S. 20th St. in
Richmond in honor of the E.M. Downer family at a ceremony and celebration from 4 to 6 p.m. May 10.
The Downer family, which founded Mechanics Bank in Richmond, has been a longtime supporter of the Y and its programs.
From the invitation: "In 1993, Mechanics Bank asked the YMCA and Youth Service Bureau to start providing services at the 'new' Coronado Community Center. In 1995, the building was gifted to the Y. In recognition of E M Downer III continuing the philanthropic legacy of the Downer Family and in celebration of the Y's 20 years of providing services at the building, the building will be renamed "E M Downer Family YMCA."
SUMMER MINI GRANTS: Grants of $750 to $1,000 are being offered by the Richmond Community Foundation (www.richmondcf.org) for programs that "build healthy environments where children and youth can grow up to be healthy, safe and ready to learn" in underserved areas of Richmond.
The foundation, which is partnering with the California Endowment, will award 10 to 12 grants to programs serving children in the Iron Triangle, Belding Woods, Coronado, Pullman and North Richmond neighborhoods.
Applicants can be individuals, 501(c) 3 nonprofit organizations or public agencies, and individuals must partner with a nonprofit organization that will act as the fiscal sponsor.
The deadline to apply is May 10. An application and complete details are online at http://bit.ly/ZAbyvS.
Questions should be directed to Jim Becker at 510-234-1200 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After losing his starting job and then watching Hill get the contract that he got, how does anyone know that DC didn't quietly ask for a trade? Maybe the FO made the best out of a bad situation. Some people on here don't want to give anyone a chance....come on! Halfway through last season, all you heard were the Travis Best comparisons. Do you guys remember that DC isn't much of a passer; especially on the break? I don't know how many times he missed wide open wings on the fast break, only to pull up and jack his own shot. Yeah, I agree, he had some decent play in the playoffs, but so did Hill. I remember that in the 1st Round, our starting 5 was the best 5 on the court out of all teams. Most people freaked on the DD for unknown bench player JO too. Let's give the new guys a chance, Geez. Perhaps we won't lose every freaking lead if we build a strong bench.
paying 4M a year for a backup big who can give you 5/5 or so in 15~20 minutes is not a bad contract by any means. i'm quite happy with this.
One thing that nobody has mention is that Dallas starting unit is going to suck on D next year, DC, DJ, Marion, Dirk, Kaman? damn they are going to suck on D.
I like this part as well. If he can do that when he is with West or Roy down low that would be nice.He worked on his mid-range touch and became relatively consistent in spotting up from about 15 feet.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Word to word
I'll say this for the front office - they're willing to make bold moves and take the subsequent flak from the fans. Whether these moves will pay off for this team remains to be seen, but you have to give them credit for taking those chances.
Could be. To be honest, I'm glad that DC is getting a starting job in a good team. He deserves it
Mahinmi is a decent backup Center. He averaged 7 points and 4.5 rebounds in the playoffs this year. In the few times I've seen him play, I noticed that he doesn't block shots and he's not very good defensively. That's the only disappointing thing about this trade to me.
Or that Walsh knew DC really wanted to start and that there was no way he would get the chance here. One of the Donnie Tropes is that he really does try to find the best situation for a player - its the reason why the (sane) players loved him as a GM.
That's all Pritchard, you know. Everyone knows Donnie would have Done Nothing.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I absolutely do. You honestly think this was a fair trade? The skills of Mahinmi equate to Jones and DC? The only way this makes sense is: to dump some salary and have someone else in mind.
Mavs fan here.
First let me address why Mavs fans celebrate this trade and treat Darren Collison like the 2nd coming of Jesus. With the off-season the Mavs had until yesterday we would have celebrated a trade for a dead rat. Our starting PG was probably Dominique Jones and our best guard Delonte West (assuming we re-sign him). The Mavs were unlikely to retain the services of Mahinmi as he was apparently chased by a few teams, so obviously we were happy to get something for Mahinmi. That doesn´t say much about Mahinmi itself.
we didnt sign him for offense. We needed defense and that is just what we got. However he does have a few offensive moves and knows his limitations.
I am just happy to have a few bigs who will pound the ball through the rim, as opposed to the BS flip it over your shoulder 2 feet from the rim shot.
OK, but you always pay more to get a big guy. Skills for the big guy you trade will never equate to the skills for the smaller players you trade.
Not really
I haven't seen any San Antonio TPTB worshipers point out that Ian Mahinmi was drafted by the Spurs (#28 in 2005) ... so he must be destined for greatness.
"I think if he is and we pass on Leaf we'd be some dumb mother ****ers."
- Larry Bird to Kevin Pritchard before their pick on Draft Day
Can someone please post Hollinger's analysis of the trade?
I like Ian mahinmi. He's better than people realize. He's quietly raised his profile from. Garbage time player to a contributor.
I think collison has severely hurt his stock value since the pacers acquired him. This was about the type of trade I expected.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
I agree, all I'm saying is that Pritchard is doing what he does best in making trades and staying aggressive, it looks to me like he brings the ideas to Walsh and as you said he makes the final decision.

Headley hopes to return by end of April
DENVER -- Come Monday, Padres third baseman Chase Headley could have a better idea of when he will be able to return from the disabled list.
Headley, who fractured the tip of his left thumb on March 17, is itching to play and isn't just eyeing the opportunity to begin a Minor League rehabilitation stint. He's actually aiming higher.
"This is just my goal, this isn't based on the doctors' goal, but I think there's a pretty good chance I can be playing in Major League games by the end of the month," Headley said Friday.
Headley is traveling with the team on its first road trip of the season. He'll return to San Diego after Sunday's game in Denver and will likely have an X-ray done on his thumb on Monday, the team's off-day.
"I think [the test] will give us a better idea. I don't know if it will give us a specific timetable, but if they go in and see there's some healing, maybe I can start hitting off a tee," Headley said.
Headley has taken some one-handed swings and even taken ground balls before games with his left hand wrapped behind his back. He's hopeful that next week he'll be able to do more.
"The big thing is we've got to make sure it's enough to withstand swinging and catching balls before we start up with more," said Headley, who is actually eligible to come off the disabled list on Saturday.
"I hate to say that we're going to come out [of the X-ray] with a concrete plan, but I think we'll find out if we need another week of healing or if it's good enough to start doing more."
Headley -- who will certainly need a few Minor League at-bats before he returns -- was told at the time of the injury that the recovery period would be between four and six weeks.
That Headley's recovery is moving along without much of a hitch thus far was good news to his manager, Bud Black.
"That's good that he's feeling better," Black said. "He's getting there."

Phase 1 Pilot Study of an ART Bridging Regimen in Highly Experienced Patients Unable to Achieve Viral Suppression
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
We hypothesize that a simple bridging ARV regimen that tends to select for virus with a low replicative capacity may tend to stabilize CD4 cell counts and HIV viral load and might be an option to consider in patients with MDR HIV.
This strategy will provide them with the bridge they desperately need so that they can await the development of new therapies that when used in combination will give them the best chance in achieving complete virologic suppression.

Bridge is a pilot, single-arm, open-label, study to assess the ability of 3 FDA approved anti-retroviral drugs to decrease replication capacity of HIV virus in order to stabilize CD4 cell count and HIV RNA viral loads . All subjects will be prescribed the three-drug combination of lamivudine (3TC) + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) + nelfinavir (NLV)The "Bridge Study" is a pilot, study to assess the ability of 3 FDA approved anti-retroviral drugs to decrease replication capacity of HIV virus in order to stabilize CD4 cell count and HIV RNA viral loads. All subjects will receive the three-drug combination of lamivudine (3TC)+tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)+nelfinavir (NLV)
The study will enroll 12 subjects for a 48 week study. Major entry criteria include: HIV+ Men and women 18 years of age who are currently failing antiretroviral(ARV)therapy with an HIV-1 RNA VL > 10,000 and have failed multiple treatment regimens due to resistance and/or intolerance. Genotype must demonstrate resistance to 3 major classes of ARV's - PI's, NNRTI's, and NRTI's.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women age > 18 years of age.
- Ability and willingness to give written informed consent.
- HIV-1 infection as documented by any licensed ELISA test kit and confirmed by either Western blot, HIV-1 culture, HIV-1 antigen, plasma HIV-1 RNA, or a second antibody test by a method other than ELISA prior to study entry.
- Patient failed multiple treatment regimens due to development of viral resistance/and or intolerance.
- Patient's provider feels that patient has exhausted currently available treatment options and that it is highly unlikely that a regimen (including one that contains T-20) could be constructed that would result in sustained virologic suppression at this time.
- Evidence of MDR virus (broad 3 class resistance) based on the results of the MDR-HIV qualifying screening genotypic resistance test or a history of a previous genotypic resistance test.
The following screening laboratory values obtained within 30 days prior to study entry:
- HIV-1 RNA or BDNA > 10,000 copies/mL
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active drug or alcohol abuse or dependence which, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
- History of any illness that, in the opinion of the study investigators, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering study drugs to the subject.
Acute therapy for a serious infection or other serious medical illnesses that are potentially life threatening and require systemic therapy and/or hospitalization.
NOTE: Subjects with a serious infection or serious medical illness must complete acute therapy at least 7 days prior to study entry. Subjects with all other infections or medical illnesses (e.g., vaginitis, folliculitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis, thrush) must receive appropriate therapy prior to study entry (no time restriction).
- Significant Renal Insufficiency - calculated creatinine clearance < 50
- Upon reviewing medication history and genotypic resistance testing, study investigators feel that would be inappropriate to enroll patient in this protocol.

REDLANDS >> Heather Paul was sitting outside of a la Minute in downtown a few weeks ago when she was approached by shop owner Ryan Berk and a business proposal — "Come bake for me."
Seven months after Paul hung up her apron and ceased operation on her successful business venture, Sugarbird Desserts, the Highland woman was found in the kitchen of Berk's Parliament Chocolate cooking up her sought-after concoctions with a smile as big as her heart.
"It is completely exciting," Paul said seconds before she took a finished tray of chocolate brownies from the oven. "Sometimes that's how the best things work out."
Berk hired Paul during the meetup to bake goods for both a la Minute and Parliament as well as Augie's Coffee House.
The partnership was announced last week via a la Minute's Facebook page and quickly gained a number of likes and comments.
Paul started her first day as a Parliament employee at 4 a.m. Wednesday, whipping up a number of treats for the three downtown shops. Among the items that will be offered through the partnership are Paul's famous cinnamon rolls and chocolate covered marshmallows, made using Parliament Chocolate. Augie's menu of Sugarbird goods includes cheddar chive scones and country style biscuits, Berk said.
"We pretty much put this (partnership) together in two weeks and this is how it came to be," Berk said. "It's just fun."
Paul announced the decision to cease Sugarbird operations in fall, explaining the move came after "much consideration and prayer."
"I regret to inform you that Sugarbird will be 'closing shop,'" she wrote in the Oct. 14 post on Facebook. "My first priority has been my family and for that reason I'm stepping down. This has been one of the … toughest decisions to make."
Returning back to the kitchen months after the decision seemed like it came at the right moment, Paul said Wednesday.
"After Sugarbird I needed a little bit of a break (to) recoup and catch up on my sleep," she said. "Being seven months out I feel like it is the perfect time to work for (Berk) instead of being my own employer… and have set hours. It works out a lot better than having to take phone calls at 2 a.m. because of a broken oven, and it's nice because I can get up early enough and be home by noon, see (my children) after school and still have that family time, which is important.
"I have the best of both worlds."
Sugarbird goods will be available at three stores as supply is available.
To learn more, visit Augie's at 113 N. Fifth St., a la Minute at 19 E. Citrus St., Suite 105, or Parliament Chocolate, 16 E. Redlands Blvd., during normal business hours.

Goat Cheese Cake with Peach and Blueberry Topping
I have to admit I a very visual eater. I think that's why I love food blogs so much. I see a great picture of food and I want to try it. You could show me the same recipe without a picture and it wouldn't peak my interest nearly as much.
This actually leads to difficulties for me when looking for cookbooks. In Jen's world, all cookbooks would have a full color photo for each recipe.
So I actually surprised myself when I decided to make this recipe. Hubby and I had done some peach picking and I was searching for good peach recipes. None of the cobblers, crumbles, or pies were popping out at me even with their delcious looking photographs. But somehow, this little recipe caught my eye.
I think I was intrigued by the combination of goat cheese, peaches, and blueberries. Other than just eating with my eyes first, I also like to know what to expect. So many recipes out there produce different textures or colors, so it's just nice to know ahead of time what you're going to get.
I felt really silly when I took this cake out of the oven to see that it was like a cheese cake. Now that might sound like a crazy comment since the name of the cake is goat cheese cake, but in all honesty, by calling it goat cheese cake instead of goat cheesecake, I was not expecting a cheesecake.
What I was expecting was more like a yogurt cake. As most of you know, yogurt is a common ingredient used in cakes to keep things really moist. I just figured that the goat cheese was used in place of the yogurt to produce a denser version of a yogurt cake. Even the batter supported this theory. It looked and tasted like I figured it would.
But like I said, I was shocked when I took it out of the oven. It had risen up quite a bit and browned similar to a cheesecake. It even deflated as it cooled. I was still perplexed until I actually took my first bite. It was totally a DUH! moment. The cake tasted like a lighter version of a cheesecake with a bit of tanginess from the goat cheese. And it was heavenly.
The fresh fruit piled on top provided the perfect amount of sweetness to counter that tanginess. This recipe might just become my go-to cheesecake recipe, it was that good. And I can eat it since it doesn't have pounds and pounds of cream cheese in it!
I think from now on, I'll stick with recipes that have pictures so I know what I'm getting into! What do you guys think? Do you prefer recipes with pictures or are they just an added bonus?
One Year Ago: Indian Spinach and Chickpeas
Two Years Ago: Eclairs
Goat Cheese Cake with Peach and Blueberry Topping
Yield: 12
3/4 pound fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla
6 eggs, separated
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
1/2 cup blueberries
Powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and dust it with 1 tablespoon of the sugar.
In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese with the 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, incorporating each one completely before adding the next. Turn the mixer to low and add the flour.
In another bowl, using clean beater, beat the egg whites until firm. Beat one third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is a deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Do not underbake. Cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely.
In a bowl, mix the peaches and blueberries together with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. (You may need less or more sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit.) Set aside.
When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and spoon the fruit on top of the cake, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around. Cut and serve, garnishing each piece with a little whipped cream, if desired.

I'm like you and totally try out recipes based on photos! I think goat cheese and fruit are always a perfect combo. The goat cheesecake sounds intriguing!
Looks and sounds amazing! I'm totally with you about photos of food – they are typically what tempt me to make a recipe.
This cake looks DELICIOUS!
I'd never heard of using goat cheese in a cheesecake, but I'm intrigued.
I, too, much prefer pictures. Sometimes you just don't put the ingredients together in your head the right way and it comes out looking totally different than you expected. I also flip through the book faster and I tend to not find recipes unless there are pics!
i think trying something new without any idea what it should look like it rough. i love pictures but most cookbooks dont seem to have enough. i think thats why i love this blog so much, you take TONS! 🙂
i am very intrigued by this recipe. but i dont eat blueberries or peaches. is it good by itself? or is the fruit greatly needed??
Beeb – It's similar to any other cheesecake. It was good on it's own, but the fruit really enhanced the flavor. Are there other fruits you like that you could top it with? Strawberries and blueberries would be great!
Oh yum! I totally want to try this. I love goat cheese (and fruit) and bet this would make an amazing cake!
I like photos too, but sometimes I get a little too into them. Like the other night when I forgot to add raisins to my cinnamon raisin bread because they weren't in the photo 🙂
I definitely prefer recipes with pictures but if a description is really good (or intriguing) or if an author points it out as a favorite… or lastly if it's a source I trust, I go for it. With that said, I'm glad you made it and posted pictures. This cake looks (and sounds) absolutely fantastic!!!
This looks really good. I agree that sometimes I eat with my eyes. I love photos, but not the ones that look almost fake since they are so perfect. That's why I love food blogs – usually it is just the food as it will be served.
I cook from a lot of different sources, and will try recipes that are appealing without any pics either. Sometimes it is more difficult when I am completely unfamiliar with the dish, though.
Photos! I love yours…the "cake" looks so pretty with it's white lip and fruit piled high.
Sounds wonderful. I can see how it would be more of a "cheesecake" than a "cheese cake" because there's such a small amount of flour. As we move into fall, I bet it would be delicious with a topping of figs sauteed with honey… mmm… honey figs and goat cheese!
LOVE goat cheese cheesecake 🙂 peaches and blueberries seem like another good topper (i recently made one with figs and raspberries!)
i really have to bake that cake for my boyfriend who has a milk intolerance. thank you for posting this many recipes with goat cheese 🙂
best wishes, jay, my blog: artandloveandme.blogspot.com

Personal Safety
Safety and security starts with you. Historically, Marywood and the surrounding area has been a safe community. However, like any community, crimes can and do occur here. The University promotes campus safety and security in various ways such as by educating students about safety and security issues and by providing 24-hour Security/Safety Department staff on campus. In addition to the efforts of University staff, students must promote their own safety and the safety of others through their daily behavior. The following precautions are important and should be included in your daily routine.
In University Housing
- Lock your door, even if you are only going to the bathroom or to the room next door. Many residence hall thefts from unlocked rooms occur while the residents of the room are on the same floor, but step out for "just a minute." It takes approximately eight seconds for someone to walk into an unattended room and remove something, such as a wallet, jewelry, cell phone, etc.
- Do not lend your room/apartment key, mailbox key, or ID card to anyone.
- If you lose your room/apartment key, report it to Residence Hall Staff or Campus Safety staff.
- Lock windows accessible from the outside, especially overnight.
- Strangers loitering in or around residence halls should be reported to the Campus Safety at 570-348-6242.
- Do not prop residence hall doors open-remove and report door props if you see them.
- If you receive annoying or obscene telephone calls, notify Campus Safety and your Resident Assistant or Residence Director immediately.
- Never open your door to strangers. Repair persons will carry proper identification.
- Escort any guests you may have in the building.
- Report unusual happenings to your Resident Assistant, Front Desk, or Campus Safety.
- In the event of an emergency, contact Campus Safety at 570-348-6242, and then inform your Resident Assistant.
- If you witness vandalism, report it to your Resident Assistant.
On Campus
- When walking at night, use the best-lit route and attempt to travel in groups of two or more people.
- If you are alone, call Campus Safety at 570-348-6242 to request an escort.
- If you are a victim of a crime, notify Campus Safety immediately. If necessary, use the emergency phones located throughout the campus

Hello everyone. I want to sincerely apologize for not being here since May. Life got a little crazy, a few family crises to handle, and now I have poison ivy, on top of everything else! Man that stuff makes you miserable. I broke out Monday and went yesterday to get a steriod shot, and I got 2 prescriptions for a topical cream and anti-itch medication.
As far as the Lupus goes, I technically was not diagnosed as I previously thought. However I am seeing a Rhuematologist on July 27th. SO I will have more news then. I have had to wait 3 mo. for this appt.! Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Good thing its not an emergency!! LOL! My pain was really high for awhile and my Pain Dr. raised my Vicodin to 3 a day and added 800 mg Motrin. I have tried the more expensive anti-inflammatory's and they don't help. But using the two together does seem to keep the pain in check, and it knocked me out of the flare! Now if I can just remember what poison ivy looks like so I won't do this to myself again, lol! (Second case of PI in 3 yrs., you would think I would know by now). Lesson learned: don't pull ANY weeds without gloves on!

Alleging that Bullis Charter School breached the terms of the Los Altos School District's Final Offer and Facilities Use Agreement, the district put the charter school on notice and demanded that it cease violations within 45 days.
In a letter sent Monday, the district requested that Bullis Charter School representatives attend the district's Nov. 12 board meeting to evaluate whether the charter school's violations "should disqualify it from receiving an offer of facilities for the 2014-2015 school year or result in other appropriate remedies."
The letter listed the charter school's violations, including:
• Violating enrollment limitations at both Blach Intermediate and Egan Junior High schools.
• Violating the grade-level restrictions (grades 4-8) at Blach.
• Using an allocated classroom as a chorus room, creating a distraction for Blach students using the adjacent library.
• Using the soccer fields outside the times outlined in the slated sharing schedule.
• Maintaining a Blach school start at 8:45 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m., creating a conflict with the Blach schedule.
"This is an untenable situation," stated the letter, signed by Doug Smith, district board president. "Bullis Charter School has no legal basis to flout those conditions and its refusal to abide by them creates a lawless regime that is unsustainable under any facilities-sharing arrangement."
The letter requests that the charter school cease the alleged violations immediately, threatens penalties for past violations and questions whether such actions should disqualify the charter school from receiving facilities for the 2014-2015 school year.
The possible punitive measures the district suggests include:
• Legal remedies through the court, including monetary and injunctive.
• Adjustment of facilities, furnishings and equipment offered to the charter school in response to the 2014-2015 request.
• Imposition of enforcement measures, including but not limited to a requirement that Bullis Charter School certify under penalty of perjury that it is complying with the Final Offer and Facilities Use Agreement.
• Other remedies appropriate under law included by the district.
Before enforcing available penalties, district officials want to give charter school representatives an opportunity to respond to their concerns.
"The district will use Bullis Charter School's response to determine whether it will pursue available remedies to enforce the terms of its Final Offer and Facilities Use Agreeement," the letter concluded.
"(The district) persists in inventing its own alternate reality," wrote Ken Moore, chairman of the Bullis Charter School Board of Directors, in an email to the Town Crier. "There is no legal 'cap' on enrollment, there are not environmental 'restrictions' enforceable against Bullis Charter School and there is no judgment that says anything to the contrary."
Moore said the allegations are currently being fought in court and that he expects the charter school to emerge victorious.
"They are losing their war against Los Altos residents who choose the charter school and now desperately threaten our school and families directly," Moore said. "If taxpayers weren't outraged at (the district) before, just read this latest letter."

Hey guys,
This is my current bag. I've recently disced down back in November. Before this i was throwing archons and katanas, but decided to follow the philosophy of accuracy and control over sloppy distance. It is frustrating, especially in the winter.
distance with drivers: 350' to 375'. 400'+on downhill tailwinds
Been playing since memorial day weekend 2010.
Champ Teebird 175 semi-new. good and stable
Champ Teebird 171 good wear. turns slightly
Star TL 175 good wear. turns slightly more on a hyzer-flip
Champ Eagle 12x 169 (opaque) new testing
Champ Eagle 12x 175 (opaque) new testing
E* Leopard 175 semi-new. turns slightly when thrown flat
Champ Firebird 175. good wear. overstable utility
KC Pro Roc 175 medium wear.
Star Roc Plus 175 medium wear.
Pro d Stratus 174 bts
Star Gator 175 beef
Warlocks x2 sss & ss 174
Since the colder months, my distance has taken a plunge and holes I used to be able to park are becoming a challenge. I have been able to be more consistant with my drives and i do understand that with the spring approaching i should be able to see some improvement. I have chose to keep a beat pro destroyer and dx valk in the bag for some of those right turning shots. Any advice?
be gentle guys:)
