The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

European Equities Poised to Outstrip U.S., Say Strategists
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Strategists increasingly prefer European markets to those in the U.S., claiming there is stronger upside for the region amid better economic data, attractive valuations, and growing speculation of more stimulus.
By contrast, U.S. markets have been fluctuating between gains and losses on a daily basis as higher valuations and tepid earnings growth are blamed for a lack of direction.
ClearPath Capital Partners chief investment officer, Brendan Connaughton, said he sees similar conditions in Europe to those that existed in the U.S. before its big rally: low interest rates and signs of a pick-up in economic growth. This means potential European rallies have further to run Connaughton said, predicting several developed indices will outperform the US on a three-year basis.
"The U.S. is a petri dish for what could happen in Europe," he said. "We don't need more stimulus in Europe for stocks to do well, but we think we'll get it."
The MSCI Europe index has posted total returns of 106% since the market nadir of 2009 while the S&P 500 has notched a return of more than 175%. European equity gains have been restrained by the region's debt crisis in 2010, fears of a Greek exit from the euro in 2012 and rising tensions between Ukraine and Russia this year.Federated Investors is among those who see a brighter outlook. The fund manager raised its exposure to Europe during the first quarter, from 40% to 56.5% for a World ex-U.S. fund. Head of international equities Audrey Kaplan said the firm sees more signs of a sustained economic recovery, while sentiment continues to improve.
"Europe also has more (stimulus) instruments available relative to the U.S. such as lowering rates, a new communications strategy and talking down the currency," she said. Kaplan also pointed to attractive valuations. As Europe's largest economy, Germany is trading on 12.8 times earnings vs. 15.5 times for major U.S. markets. German equities also carry a book value of 1.8 times vs. 2.6 times for the U.S. The fund manager likes several emerging European markets on a longer-term basis, acknowledging the sentiment hurdle they face this year. Kaplan pointed to the discount on several equity markets due to Ukraine tensions, a situation many believe is unlikely to impact the longer-term value of European equities. Given this, several Austrian and Czech stocks are trading below their break-up value while Hungry and Poland also present opportunity, Kaplan said. Economic data is also improving in these countries as exports return to post-Lehman levels. Similarly, Connaughton said he prefers European markets that are still slightly out of favor. He favors Germany, France and Spain as good picks on a three-year basis and cautions investors not to chase the end of rallies in markets such as Italy. "There's a better jobs situation (in the former three countries) which will drive demand, along with government austerity. It's not yet reflected in valuations or stock prices," the fund manager said. Societe Generale's global head of research, Patrick Legland, said he remained "very positive" on European peripheral indices. "Our preferred indices are Italy and Spain, which continue to trade slightly above price to book value (1.5x) and below historical averages (3x)," he said. "Should the ECB decide to go for quantitative easing type measures, it would be very positive for these countries." But some remain wary. ING U.S. Investment Management market strategist Karyn Cavanaugh said low bond yields in Spain and Italy reflected growing expectation that the European Central Bank would announce further stimulus and "float all boats."
"But we don't know what the ECB will do," she said, suggesting investors stick to fundamentals instead of stimulus speculation as a basis for investing. Cavanaugh said challenges remained even as Europe's macroeconomic outlook appeared to have turned the corner. "In the U.S. the fundamentals are better and there's more potential for growth," she said. "First quarter GDP was horrendous but manufacturing numbers are better and there's been a jump in consumer spending."

Force in action.
Dear sisters, sometimes born with the fate of having to cope, small and since we are forced to learn to survive.
We learn to survive the punches and the end feet? And they die? We learned to survive hunger and poverty and the minimum share? And who socumbe with malnutrition? We learn to be quick thinking and solve the problems of pain, fear, loneliness? And they go crazy?
We are survivors and non-learners suffering, when you join us in the labor market with the approval of the academy of life are that there is another conflict, as unprepared to accept the social professional managers?
The base that will strengthen the voice of escluídas can not be silent because of the power. Do not take them into our backpacks for the acceptance hope the legacy left by doing nothing.
When I see women who articulate their communities and hope to get out of their sight and scent the sewers of the slum, with education, health actions, with more culture for our children, their mothers and grandmothers. Thinking about the fate that was put up with because of the love that someone gave us a quick time. Perhaps a woman suffered like us, the warrior emerging right to be treated well on this planet that makes us sisters. I love you.

Topic: Current Treatment - Pegasys
25. Prophylactic Peginterferon Alfa-2a/Ribavirin vs No Prophylaxis Following Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT) for Hepatitis C: 24-Week Virologic and Safety Responses
M. R. Charlton; N. Bzowej; S. Rossi; D. R. Nelson
Recurrent HCV infection after OLT can cause graft failure and death, but safety concerns have limited prophylactic/early treatment with pegylated interferon/ribavirin.
Patients were randomized 10-26 wks after OLT. Patients in the Prophylaxis arm received 135 μg peginterferon alfa-2a/wk for 4 wks and 180 μg/wk for 44 wks; plus 400 mg/d ribavirin (initial dose), escalating over 12 weeks to 1000 or 1200 mg/day for 36 weeks. Patients in the Observation arm were treated with the same regimen only upon histologic recurrence of HCV (HAI >3 and/or FS >2), followed by 24-72 weeks of treatment free follow-up. The primary efficacy assessment is the proportion of patients in each group who experienced histological evidence of HCV recurrence at 120-weeks post-randomization. Here we report 24-wk interim data.
To date 115 patients have been enrolled and the first 24 week data is presented here. The patient characteristics in the prophylaxis arm and the observational arm were well matched. The virologic response at week 24 was 38% in the prophylaxis group compared to the control arm. Of patients in the Prophylaxis and Observation arms, 100% and 93%) respectively, have experienced at least 1 adverse event (AE); and 44% and 23%, respectively, have experienced at least 1 serious AE. In the Prophylaxis are 30% of the patients discontinued treatment due a adverse event compared to 25% in the Observational group. 75% of the patients in the prophylaxis group experienced at least one adverse event that led to treatment modification/interruption compared to 25% in the Observational group.
o On-treatment virologic response is achievable in OLT recipients with prophylactic or delayed treatment SVR data are not yet available
o Although AEs were common during prophylaxis with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin for post-OLT HCV recurrence, the incidence of clinically significant ACR was not increased by prophylaxis
o ACR rates observed during prophylaxis were low
o Rates of anemia and grade 3/4 neutropenia, secondary to HCV antiviral drug toxicity, were higher in the prophylaxis arm than in untreated patients in the observation arm
o The incidence of clinically significant infections was low in both arms, and depression was not observed in any patient
o Relative impact of prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis strategy on allograft histology remains to be determined
Topic: Liver Transplantation
29. Impact of HIV on Survival after Liver Transplantation. Analysis of United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) Database
A. Regev; A. L. Mindikoglu; L. S. Magder
The outcome of liver transplantation (LT) in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a matter of controversy. Patients coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) appeared in several small studies to have poorer outcome after LT compared to patients with HCV monoinfection.
A retrospective cohort study was performed to assess the impact of HIV on LT survival by using UNOS Standard Transplant Analysis and Research (STAR) files.
A total of 138 HIV(+) and
30,520 HIV(-) patients who were ≥ 18 years old and underwent LT during
the HAART era (starting from
Patients who had HIV/HCV coinfection had lower survival rates after LT compared to HCV patients without HIV coinfection. Such difference was not observed in HIV/HBV coinfected patients compared to HBV monoinfected patients undergoing LT.
Topic: Experimental Therapies - GS-9190
49. Antiviral, Pharmacokinetic and Safety Data for GS-9190, a Non-nucleoside HCV NS5b Polymerase Inhibitor, in a Phase-1 Trial in HCV Genotype 1 Infected Subjects.
L. Bavisotto, . C. Wang; I. M. Jacobson; P. Marcellin; S. Zeuzem; E. J. Lawitz; M. Lunde; P. Sereni; C. O'Brien; D. W. Oldach; G. Rhodes
Background & Aims:
GS-9190 is a novel non-nucleoside HCV NS5b polymerase inhibitor with potent in vitro antiviral activity (0.6 nM EC50 in Genotype 1b replicon) and a high selectivity index in vitro. Initial results from an ongoing single-dose/multiple-dose escalation clinical trial of GS-9190 in HCV-infected volunteers are reported here.
Study GS 196-0101 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety/tolerability, phamacokinetics and antiviral activity of single (in Part A) and multiple (in Part B) doses of GS-9190 in subjects chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 (GT-1) without cirrhosis. Prospective subjects are 18-60 years of age and are HCV treatment naïve.
In an already completed Part A, five successive cohorts of 6 subjects were randomized (5:1) to receive single ascending doses of GS-9190 (40, 120, 240, 240-with food, or 480 mg) or placebo. In ongoing Part B, four successive cohorts of 12 subjects are randomized (10:2) to receive multiple ascending doses of GS-9190 (40 mg BID, 120 mg BID, 240 mg QD, 240 mg BID) or placebo, over 8 days.
Thirty-one subjects enrolled in Part A were of mean age 43.6 years, predominantly male (20/31), Caucasian (25/31), and infected with either HCV Genotype-1a (24) or 1b (6). Median (range) baseline HCV viral load was 6.6 log10 RNA IU/mL (5.2-7.3). Single doses of GS-9190 were well tolerated, with no serious or treatment-limiting adverse events (AEs) reported. All AEs (except one moderate) were mild in severity, with the most common being headache. There were no Grade 3 or 4 treatment emergent laboratory abnormalities.
Median GS-9190 plasma half-life ranged from to 15 hours across cohorts. Systemic exposure was increased approximately 2-fold when GS-9190 was administered with a high fat meal. Mean GS-9190 concentration 24 hours after the 240 mg fasted dose was ~7-fold higher than the protein binding adjusted in vitro HCV GT-1b replicon EC50 value. Following single-dose exposure, maximal antiviral effect was observed at 24 hours, with median declines ranging from 0.46 to 1.49 log10 HCV RNA IU/mL across cohorts. Individual HCV RNA declines among all GS-9190 recipients ranged from 0.19 to 2.54 log10 IU/mL following single-dose exposure.
This study demonstrates potent dose-dependent antiviral activity of GS-9190, a novel non-nucleoside HCV polymerase inhibitor in HCV infected volunteers. Single dose exposure to GS-9190 was well tolerated and demonstrated favorable PK properties that may support QD or BID dosing. The multiple dose phase of this trial is ongoing, and updated results will be provided.

50. Telaprevir resistance mutations in patients with hepatitis C who relapsed after sequential therapy with telaprevir, peg-interferon alfa 2a and ribavirin
N. Forestier, S. Susser, M. W. Welker, C. J. Weegink, H. W. Reesink, S. Zeuzem1,; C. Sarrazin
Telaprevir (TVR) is a highly selective inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease with highly effective blocking of HCV replication in patients with hepatitis C. Mutations have been identified in the NS3 protease gene at positions 36, 54, 155 and 156 conferring resistance to TVR in vitro and in vivo. For single resistance mutations an inverse correlation of resistance level and viral fitness has been described while combined mutations (i.e. V36/R155) display relative high resistance with compensatory effects on replication efficiency. Little is known about persistence of TVR resistance mutations in patients treated sequentially with TVR, peg-interferon and ribavirin (RBV).
Fifteen patients received either TVR monotherapy or TVR peg-interferon alfa 2a combination therapy for 2 weeks followed by peginterferon alfa 2a plus RBV standard combination therapy for 24 or 48 weeks. In the present study, we performed amplification and clonal sequencing (approx. 50 clones per patient and time point) of the HCV NS3 protease gene in 5 patients who relapsed so far. All 5 patients were tested HCV RNA negative during therapy but relapse with increasing HCV RNA concentration was observed after the end of standard combination treatment for 24 or 48 weeks.
While in 2 patients no mutations conferring resistance to TVR were detected during different time points after relapse, in 3 patients known TVR resistance mutations within the NS3 protease gene were detected. Patient 1 with initial TVR monotherapy, 48 weeks of standard therapy, and relapse at week 4 after treatment discontinuation (433.000 IU/ml) showed mutations at positions V36 (100% of clones) and R155 (100% of clones). In patient 2 with initial TVR monotherapy, 24 weeks of standard treatment and relapse at week 4 (viral load pending) only single isolates with resistance mutations were observed at position V36 (2%) and A156 (2%). Finally, patient 3 received initially combination therapy followed by 48 weeks of standard treatment. In this patient relapse was detected at follow up week 8 (1.400 IU/ml) and resistance mutations were detected at position V36 (84% of clones) only. In both patients who received TVR monotherapy mutations at positions V36, T54, R155 and A156 were observed during the initial 2 weeks of treatment.
In patients treated with TVR with and without peginterferon alfa 2a for 2 weeks followed by standard therapy with peginterferon and RBV for 24 or 48 weeks mutations conferring resistance to TVR can be detected after relapse. The significance of TVR resistance mutations for the probability of relapse has to be investigated in future studies.

51. Sustained Virologic Response with albinterferon alfa-2b/ribavirin treatment in prior interferon therapy non-responders

Albinterferon alfa (alb-IFN) is a novel recombinant protein consisting of IFNa-2b genetically fused to human albumin. This randomized Phase 2 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of alb-IFN/ribavirin treatment in chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) patients who were non-responders (NR) to previous IFNa-based regimens.
Subjects were randomized into 3 alb-IFN treatment cohorts (900mcg Q2w, 1200mcg Q2w or 1200mcg Q4w) in combination with weight-based oral ribavirin (RBV) 1000-1200 mg/day. After evaluating safety data, 2 further cohorts were treated with higher doses of alb-IFN 1500mcg Q2w and 1800mcg Q2w. The treatment duration is 48 weeks and the primary efficacy end-point is sustained virologic response (SVR) at 24 weeks post-treatment. The protocol was amended to allow extended treatment (a total of 72weeks) for slow responders, ie, subjects who became RNA negative after w24.
The demographics and antiviral response for the 115 patients enrolled are summarized in the table. The 1500 and 1800mcg treatment groups had more patients with baseline characteristics associated with poor response (eg, pre-treatment HCV RNA, PEG-IFN+RBV NR, % African-Americans). All doses were well tolerated and the safety profile in the 1500 mcg and 1800 mcg cohorts was comparable to the 900-1200mcg cohorts in incidence and types of adverse events. The overall SVR rate for the first 4 treatment groups was 19% (18/93), though lower in the genotype 1, PEG-IFN+RBV NR group 12% (7/57). Importantly, the 1800mcg group showed robust antiviral response (50% [6/12] achieved EVR12) in genotype 1 "null-responders" to prior PEG+RBV therapy.
Alb-IFN in combination with oral RBV is safe and effective. Treatment with 1800mcg Q2w demonstrates significant antiviral activity in prior IFNa non-responder patients.
Topic: Experimental Therapies - Bavituximab
53. Multiple dose safety and pharmacokinetic study of bavituximab in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
E. J. Lawitz; E. W. Godofsky; J. S. Shan
Bavituximab, an investigational monoclonal antibody targeting phosphatidylserine (PS) located on the surface of virus infected cells and enveloped viruses, is being developed as an anti-HCV agent. It has immunostimulatory effects in preclinical viral models. Single intravenous (IV) infusions of bavituximab up to 6 mg/kg were well-tolerated and showed transient antiviral activity in chronic HCV patients.
To determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple IV infusions of bavituximab, sequential cohorts of 6 patients were given twice weekly 90 min IV infusions for two weeks at 0.3, 1, 3 or 6 mg/kg and followed until week 12. Vital signs, physical exams, safety laboratory parameters, serum bavituximab levels and serum HCV RNA levels were measured.
Twenty-four patients (15 male, mean age 49) were enrolled. Eleven were non-responders, 8 were relapsers and 5 were treatment-naïve. Mean baseline viral load was 5,000,000 copies/mL and 15 were infected with genotype 1, 8 with genotype 3 and 1 with genotype 2. The infusions were well-tolerated. No serious adverse events (SAEs) or early discontinuations were reported. There was no dose-related increase in incidence or severity of adverse events (AEs). All AEs were mild or moderate and transient, except for grade 3 neck pain and arthralgia (drug-related) in a patient with a history of joint pain at 3 mg/kg bavituximab and grade 3 elevated blood glucose (unrelated) in another patient with diabetes at 0.3 mg/kg bavituximab. All other drug-related AEs were mild: hypertension in 1 patient at 0.3 mg/kg, headache in 1 patient and headache and pruritis in 1 patient at 1 mg/kg and flu-like illness/symptoms in 2 patients at 6 mg/kg after the first infusion. Bavituximab reaches Cmax at 2-3 h postdose with a mean elimination half-life of ~34 h. Bavituximab exhibited dose-proportional increases in Cmax and AUC in single and multiple dosing and did not lead to significant accumulation. All dose levels exhibited on therapy antiviral activity (decline of >0.5 log10 reduction in HCV RNA). The 3mg/kg cohort had the largest number of patients showing antiviral activity, as 5 of 6 subjects achieved >0.5 log decline in HCV RNA.
Twice weekly IV doses of bavituximab up to 6 mg/kg were safe and well-tolerated. Single-dose and multiple dose pharmacokinetics of bavituximab are linear, predictable and no accumulation appears to occur over time. Two weeks of dosing is indicative of antiviral effect in a proportion of patients. Future studies designed to optimize the dosing schedule and investigate combining bavituximab with current standard therapy are planned.

54. Rapid and early virological response rates are increased with 12 week 360 µg/wk peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD) and standard ribavirin in HCV genotype 1 treatment naive patients: efficacy and safety analysis of the induction phase of the CHARIOT study
S. Roberts; M. D. Weltman; D. Crawford; W. Cheng; W. Sievert; G. W. McCaughan; P. V. Desmond; M. Yoshihara; J. E. Miller; J. Depamphilis; P. Marks; G. J. Dore; C.
The CHARIOT study evaluates the efficacy & safety of a 360 µg/wk dose peginterferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFNα-2a) induction regimen compared to standard 180 µg/wk Peg-IFNα-2a, in combination with standard ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. We report results of the planned interim analysis of on-treatment virological responses over the first 12 wks of therapy.
In this international, multi-centre, open label study patients were stratified by baseline HCV RNA and randomised 1:1 to 180 µg or 360 µg Peg-IFNα-2a qw for 12 wks followed by 36 wks of 180 µg Peg-IFNα-2a plus RBV 1000–1200 mg/d for 48 wks. Endpoints include virologic response at wks 4, 8 and 12.
845 patients were evaluable for efficacy & safety analysis. Age, gender, weight, BMI, ethnicity, viral load and fibrosis scores were similar in the two groups. At wks 4, 8 and 12, virological response rates were greater (p<0.001) in the 360 µg/wk arm (Table). Significantly higher response rates (p<0.001) at wk 12 occurred in patients receiving 360 µg dose in all subgroups including baseline HCV RNA ≥800,000 IU/mL (71% vs 55%) and <800,000 IU/mL (84% vs 71%), weight ≥85 kg (74% vs 56%) and <85kg (74% vs 62%), and age >40yrs (70% vs 54%) and ≤40yrs (84% vs 73%). Induction therapy was associated with higher rates of diarrhoea (17% vs 12%), pyrexia (14% vs 8%), chills (14% vs 7%) and weight loss (10% vs 3%). Depression and fatigue reports were similar. Discontinuations were similar in both groups, however induction therapy led to more dose modifications (Table). Use of haematopoetic growth factors was the same in both groups (4 patients [<1%]).
Induction dosing with 360 µg/wk Peg-IFNα-2a is more effective than standard 180 µg/wk dosing in achieving early and rapid virological responses and is safe and well tolerated. The effect was independent of baseline viral load, weight, BMI and age.

China Seeks to Invest $10 Billion in Brazil Oil
By Marco Sibaja
BRASILIA, Brazil -- China wants to loan Brazil's state oil company $10 billion to help develop massive new oil fields in deep water off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's top energy official said in comments published Monday.
Mines and Energy Minister Edison Lobao also told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that the United Arab Emirates has offered to finance field development, but he did not specify a price tag.
Lobao said Chinese officials contacted his ministry to propose a loan, and Petrobras (PZE) then negotiated directly with the Chinese. He gave no details on the status of talks, and any deal would have to be approved by his ministry.Petrobras, in an emailed statement to The Associated Press, didn't confirm a China deal, but said the company has historically searched for "varied sources of financing" and that recent deals will be included in its new investment plan, expected in the coming weeks. Lobao told the privately run Agencia Estado news agency other countries also wanted to participate: "It's not just China. It's a range of opportunities that Petrobras has." Lobao said the ministry has talked with a Japanese consortium, Canadian banks and various foreign oil service companies that want to invest in or work on offshore finds. He offered no other details. Brazil also is ready to tap its foreign reserves to offer a credit line for exploration by Petroleo Brasileiro SA if needed, he added. Lobao's ministry confirmed the comments, but a spokesman did so only on condition of anonymity in keeping with department policy.

Here we snow again
Snowfall to be up to 14 inches in some areas, forecasters say
|Maria Valentin of Waterbury digs her car out on Bouley Avenue in Waterbury after last week's snowstorm. Forecasters predict another six to 12 inches from a storm coming Thursday morning. Steven Valenti Republican-American
It's thousands of miles long and paralyzing the southern states, and when this latest winter storm reaches Greater Waterbury Thursday morning, it's going to smack us pretty hard, too, forecasters said.
And in many places, it will be a dense, icy snowfall that will be a chore to shovel – that is, if you can find a place to shovel it to that isn't piled with snow from last week's storm.

Yoovie had popular blog posts daily. I was one of the thousands on spark that loved her. I am sad. I am upset. I am surprised by how much this drama from one internet site/community has gotten to me. I guess that speaks to how much sparkpeople means to me.
I've been on and off since Feb 08. This past Feb I found her through the Daily Spark. It happened to be the day before she started B2W. I joined. I did the challenges. It changed my life. seriously. Because of Yoovie, I feel in love with spark. Reading her blogs everyday at lunch was always a highlight of my day. the pics, the attitude, the not your average complaining boring story. She makes you want to work harder and have more fun doing it. Pretty good motivator, I'd say. Because of her and the other friends I made on the challenge, I joined other teams and challenges. (Go Warriors!) Yoovie has been a major part of my spark journey.
I know that she chose to close her page. I get it. Spark should not think they did not have a part in this. She was bullied into leaving. The constant reprimands for petty complaints would drive anyone away. It saddens me to know that the few whiners won. She made it very clear: if you don't approve of her lifestyle, stop reading her blog! that simple.
So I know this wasn't all about the ab pic. That was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. But, I'm going to talk about the underboob anyway. There was no nipple showing. so what's the big deal? How is it different than any bikini shot? Provocative? yes. Inappropriate? No. There's a difference. And that was Yoovie. She was provocative and many of us loved her for it.
This is the internet people!!! What do they expect? Watch a commercial, a music video, pop culture shows like Glee and American Idol.
Here's to the positive. Yoovie is truly something special and I hope her star rises. Some publisher needs to take her on. now. I hope she's reading all of this. I hope she sees how many people have come together. I have already made new spark friends.
Remember, "ain't nobody gonna hold me down. oh no! I got to keep on moving." I am gonna get out there and push it today. I'm gonna do something right for all the wrong reasons.
My favorite little boy is 6 months today. Insert every cliche about how fast time goes here.
I went back and read my 3 month pp blog. Here's the info:
"As for me... pre-pregnancy weight was 165-168. At 39 weeks I was 206 and I was so horrified that I didn't look at the scale again. DS was born 40 weeks and 5 days. Who knows what my highest weight actually was. ahhh!!! After the first month, I was suck at 188 so that is why I choose that number for my weight loss ticker thingy.
I'm 171 today, which is good. I've worked really hard and lost lots of pounds and inches. I still have a long way to go, but I want to stay positive. I never got back to my pre-pregnancy weight (155-158) after DD. "
This morning I was 156.6 woot! woot! So, not only am I at pre-preggo weight within 6 months. I'm also at pre-1st-preggo weight!! Did ya follow that?!? The last time I saw 156 on the scale was in March 2008. My original goal was 155, but I changed it to 150. Now, I think I may go further. I am accomplishing my goal of becoming a runner. It is freeing and incredible and I am so proud and feel great and yadda yadda yadda more! My dad is a marathon runner and I have always had that dream tucked way back in the cobwebs of my head. For the first time, I feel like it is a real possibility. A new long term goal, if you will. I called him last night to tell him about my run and I felt like a little kid showing a parent a good grade. I was proud. He was proud. It makes me choke up a little.
Cheers to another happy and healthy 6 months!
Every Day - 1 Challenge... ready? Yes I am! I made big goals for April, but didn't change my routine until the last week. Time to actually DO more. Can't keep thinking about it. Nike was right.
4. Do something that makes you feel strong: Ran 4.5 miles today. PR!!!!
5. Do something that makes you feel free: used 5 lb on ST instead of 3s strong=free?
6. Do something that makes you smell really bad: Bodystep at 6am. I was drenched by the end
7. Do something that makes you think hard about your goals: I ran today without my husband. He usually pushes the double stroller. not an easy task! I made a mental list of all the reasons I am pushing myself as I pushed that beast around the neighborhood. Keeping my goals in the front of my mind and heart.
8. Do more than you think you can handle: 4 mile run with the family. Perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day. AND I went to Bodystep.
9. Do something to release excess tension/stress/anger: Family bike ride on my rest day. This will be followed by guilt free red wine. And I scheduled a Thai massage, nice Mother's Day gift! Just thinking about it releases some stress
10. Do something you can brag about later: I ran 2 miles in 88 degree HUMID heat. People out on little walks were stopping and staring. no joke. I felt like a badas$. And then when I got home I ran up and down the big hill around the corner. 3 times. Because I told a sparkbuddy I would. Oh, and then i went and did 100 push-ups, 100 tricep dips, 100 second planks, bicycle crunches.
11. Do something right for all the wrong reasons. I bought some uber sexy stuff to wear and used that as motivation today during the workout. but is that really for the wrong reasons??!
12. Workout at a different time than usual: I had a meeting after work and got home way later than I'd like. I still did a 30 min ST dvd. woo-ha!
13. Do something that makes you feel like a gladiator:agreed to Bodystep training in fall. crazzel!!!
14. Work on your core. OK. done. side planks with twists
15. Surprise yourself. I signed up for a Warrior Dash with gym friends. I don't think other people in my life would expect me to do that. I love that my gym rats know I can!
17. Break a personal record. 6 mile run! hoo-rah!!!
18. Workout first thing in the morning. fail. I go the gym at 6am twice a week. too bad the 18th didn't land on one of those days. I did go for a run after work and did lots of 100s. just not at sunrise.
19. Add 15 minutes: I was going to take a rest day today. I wanted to plop on the couch and drink wine. That would not be very Proving grounds-ish of me so I went for a walk and came home and spent about 20 min doing some of my own ST stuff. It wasn't the most intense workout or anything, but it was 15 minutes + some more than 0.
20. Workout your lower body: lunges, lunges and then some more lunges
21. Do something that makes you feel sexy or beautiful: I ran in the rain this morning before we left for an out of town wedding. I saw no one. No other people out. It was incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Then I work a size 6 dress to the wedding and monster heels. Sexy!
22. GO HARD OR GO HOME. After a long night out and a longer drive home, I ran again. I'm an addict.
23. REST: Thank you
24. Break a personal record: Plank on hands: 2 min 21 seconds. booya!!
25. STRETCH longer than normal.
26. Mid-Week super killer cardio day!
27. Practice your balance.
28. Pushups.
29. Obliterate your brick wall.
30. Enjoy the holiday.
31. Make a JUNE plan
Take an after pic! Preferably in the same clothing/room where you took your before picture!
pics tonight...
Has your diet in general changed in the last 10 weeks? How?
I cut out all processed food before the challenge started. I've stuck with that. I also quit counting calories (gasp!) and it has worked wonders for me. Tracking was stressing me out and making me think about food all the time. I have made the change to mindful eating. It's a work in progress for sure. It's not for everybody, but it works for me. I've been challenged by a few people on spark about this. Here's my bottom line: a small 100 calorie apple is not the same as a Nabisco 100 calorie cookie snack pack.
Has your workout consistency improved? Are you working out more or less? What has changed about your exercise habits in the last 10 weeks?
I have added in way more exercise thanks to this challenge. I wanted to meet the goals. Some days I would just get in a 10 or 20 minute core DVD. Now that's a habit. I laugh at "3 days of rest"!!! I thought I was too busy because of my young children. Then I read on a fitspo picture, "Someone busier than you is running right now." That made me get off my butt and find a way to make time for exercise. Now I have 1 rest day and I make sure to talk a walk that day. Getting in more ST continues to be a goal. I'm working on it!!!
Of the different parts of your body that we worked on- which was your favorite, which caused the most struggle and which did you improve the most? (upper body/lower body/core)
I'd answer CORE for all questions for different reasons. I used to have the attitude: why bother with core? There's too many fat layers on top. (I know, not good.) Now I know it needs to be my strength.
Have you set or broken any personal records for yourself?
Have you learned anything about what keeps you motivated?
Spark does! I was just starting to get more involved when I joined this challenge on a whim the day it started. The other B2W blogs have been a huge source of inspiration and motivation for me. I joined another long challenge (BLC 16) to help me stay challenged and committed.
FIND your original Entry card for this challenge:
This is part of it from 2/17:
Current Weight:
Current Measurements:
1. waist- 33.5
2. hips- 42.5
3. thigh- 25
4. chest- 40
5. arm- 12
Amount of time you can reasonably dedicate to exercise EACH DAY (oh yeah I went there): 60
Number of Rest Days needed per week (maximum): 3
1. Weight Lost: 12 pounds!!!!! 157.6 this morning
2. Retake the 5 measurements that you started with on your entry card, and show the results, you can say how many inches were lost on each measurement, or add it all up for a grand total! When I get home...
3. How much time do you think you spent exercising each week? 400-500 minutes
4. Do you reach any goals that you set for yourself during this challenge? Absolutely! The pounds lost is awesome. The increase in ST is also good stuff.
5. What did you learn about YOURSELF and the what you want from your body?
I want to be strong and healthy and a positive person. I want to trust myself and listen to my body. I want to learn from others. I want to run.
6. What was your proudest moment?
I have started running. for real. I've tried before and always given up. In the past few weeks I have made such a breakthrough. On Tuesday I did a little independent 5K. It was amazing. It was raining a little and I didn't let that stop me. I channeled my inner Yoovie and ran to be free. I heard all of your words. Thank you. I loved this challenge!
*still need to update this...
running! running! running! Each time I am shocked at how much easier it feels, how much better I feel, how I am actually beginning to enjoy it.
2. THIS WEEK- It's all about staying organized! Sometimes when we really get going with our fitness efforts, some of the important things along the way get shifted aside. So this week- it't time to catch up on all those things that, if left ignored, will come back to bite your heiney!
Play catch up this week with things like:
work correspondence
grocery shopping
ummmmm, I did lots of this on Sunday. I've been cleaning all week because family will be in town this weekend. I feel behind at work and I blame it on Sparking! I spend too many of my breaks on here instead of getting some serious shiz done.
3. TAKE A REST DAY if your weekend made you sore. Seriously. All you can do on a rest day is go for a walk and/or stretch- dont hit the gym if you ran a half marathon last night.
Wednesday was a much needed rest day. Stretched in the morning and went on a short walk since it wasn't flippin snowing like it had been. I know I know, it's April. Enough with the snow already MN!
4. Give me at least two days this week where you thought you were going to be too busy to workout- but found a way to squeeze in 20 minutes.. somehow.
Tues was going to be a rest day but I ran for 30 min and then did 20 min ST and I am going to try to repeat that today after work. I'll update...
This week flew by. I am ready for a weekend. I will not eat too much chocolate. I will not eat too much chocolate.I will not eat too much chocolate.I will not eat too much chocolate.I will not eat too much chocolate.

Posted by Darla Hood on 2/4 at 2:47 pm to BRgetthenetThanks for all the input, y'all. I've never frozen tail meat after a boil, always eat it up, so I just wasn't sure.
Will be peeling like crazy after I get home from work.
And to those who suggested I do something with the potatoes and corn ... I know this is heresy, but we didn't boil any! We did mushrooms and onions. I love the potatoes and corn just too much. Gotta set limits. (I know, I'm no fun. But my husband no longer eats potatoes of any kind, and he still loves corn, just didn't want any.)

Posted by Darla Hood on 2/5 at 9:28 am to Darla HoodI didn't get too far with the crawfish peeling. Made the mistake of tasting one about 1/3 of the way through the first bag. Tasted my way through to the end.
Took what I'd set aside before I started eating and put it in a little bit of quinoa I'd made (for something else). Decided it was so tasty, that the entire second ziploc bag was peeled and mixed with the quinoa (as well as fat and juices squeezed out of the heads. Added some pine nuts and arugula and the juice of half a lemon.
Lunch today is gon b gud.

Julie teen covered all of the teen fashion from the Teen Choice Awards yesterday (my best-dressed pick? T. Swift), but when I took a look through the photos from the event, I saw one thing in common with almost every female attendee: black eyeliner, and lots of it. I think even Justin Bieber had some on. I instantly recalled my own formative teenage years, during which I managed to convince myself that I was unpresentable without lashings of the stuff (in pencil form, tip heated by a lighter, natch) in and around my already-small eyes. Why did I do this, and perhaps more importantly: why does every girl between the ages of thirteen and eighteen do this at some point? Tell me: is it just me — and all these teens — or were you, too, a teenage victim of this trend?

High Schools Proving to be More Social Spots
Social media and schools haven't traditionally gone hand-in-hand. Wary of privacy concerns and the potential for misuse, schools have tended to shy away from social media. Yet social media is a vital part of how we communicate today, and can be a useful tool for schools to communicate with both parents and students. Joseph Donzelli, the communications director of Fort Myers school district found that the school's communication with parents increased when they started using Twitter, and other schools around the country are switching on to social media, using Facebook and Twitter to interact.

Just another bump to day that we're only 3 weeks away.
Don't forget to sign up to their email list, and you'll get an email a few days before the event with your printout to get a free Mayhem pint glass when you show up (provided you DO show up (*DUDE*) and that you show up before they run out.
Sign up here: http://www.duclaw.com/email.asp
And if all else fails, once we get our glasses and drown a pint (darnit if that place doesn't get PACKED)...we can walk down to Max's Taphouse for some real variety brews.
Is it too early to get a (near) final list and count?
The Duclaw website has the hours of the Mayhem release as 6pm-10pm.
I work until 6pm, and that would put me fighting the oh-so-lovely I-95 traffic for about an hour-fifteen trying to get up to Baltimore. I probably wouldn't be rolling in until around 7:30. So if you guys plan to move down the street after a pint, I might miss you.
I'm still in....we are getting in on the 24th.
w00t. only 1 week away
Good thing I logged in, I'll try to get there
Anyone have the address I can't find it on their site
901 S Bond St
Baltimore, MD 21231
(410) 563-3400
It's TOMORROW night, and I haven't gotten my email yet either. I remember not getting my last one until Wednesday, but I signed up only a day or two before the release.
Ok, let's get a list together of final participants...
I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who DID receive my email. I got it a week ago, it contains a link to the page where you go and print out your thing.
Did everyone check their spam filters?
Yeah, I went through my spam filters and didn't get squat.
You coming, Cap?

Managing for Results:
Human Capital Management Discussions in Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plans
GAO-01-236: Published: Apr 24, 2001. Publicly Released: Apr 24, 2001.

The Government Performance and Results Act calls for agencies to address human capital in the context of performance-based management. The act requires that annual performance plans describe how agencies will use their human capital to accomplish their goals and objectives. Designing, implementing, and maintaining a strategic human capital management focus are critical to maximizing performance and ensuring that government is accountable to the American people. GAO found that the human capital challenges described in fiscal year 2001 performance plans reflected the different levels of attention agencies are to pay this critical issue. GAO contends that the breadth, depth, and specificity of many related human capital goals and strategies needs to be increased. The plans' discussions of human capital increasingly need to focus on describing human capital challenges. The plans need to specify the what, why, how, and when of the strategies to address those challenges. The discussions should also better link human capital management and the agencies' strategic and program planning to maximize performance and ensure optimal resource allocation. Overall, the fiscal year 2001 plans showed that substantial opportunities exist for goals and strategies as they focus on a more systematic, in-depth, and continuous effort to evaluate and improve their human capital management. Agencies will need to follow up to determine whether their plans actually improve human capital management and program outcomes.
