Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), also known as Septra, Bactrim, and cotrimoxazole, is a key antibiotic for prophylaxis and treatment of several HIV-related illnesses. It is the most effective prophylaxis and the first-line treatment for Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP). In addition, it is effective in preventing toxoplasmosis encephalitis in severely immunocompromised patients who have evidence of previous exposure (see chapter Opportunistic Infection Prophylaxis), and it is effective against certain bacterial infections. TMP-SMX is quite inexpensive, which is a rarity in the field of HIV treatment. Because of its effectiveness and availability, it is used widely throughout the world. However, adverse reactions to TMP-SMX and other sulfa drugs occur in a high proportion of HIV-infected patients (roughly 25%), and such reactions may limit treatment options.
Desensitization to TMP-SMX should be considered when there are no reasonable or available alternatives and the patient has not experienced severe reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis) to sulfa drugs. Several methods of desensitizing patients with previous reactions to TMP-SMX have been tried. These methods vary in starting dosage and length of dosage escalation, but success rates are around 80% in most cases and may be higher in patients with CD4 counts of <200 cells/µL.
S: Subjective
The patient reports a previous adverse reaction to sulfa drugs, such as erythema, pruritus, or rash. The patient has no history of anaphylaxis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and no reaction involving vesiculation, desquamation, ulceration, exfoliative dermatitis, etc.
O: Objective
CD4 count <200 cells/µL, or other important indication for TMP-SMX.
A: Assessment
Reaction to sulfa, possibly reversible with desensitization protocol.
P: Plan
Begin 9- to 13-day desensitization protocol, starting with pediatric oral suspension, which contains 40 mg of TMP and 200 mg of SMX per 5 mL (1 teaspoon). Gradually increase the dosage according to the protocol.
If there is any concern about the severity of a previous reaction, have the patient take the initial morning dose in the clinic so that the patient may be monitored for 3-4 hours before going home. (This assumes that emergency treatment, including IV access materials, IV fluids, epinephrine, antihistamines, and steroids, are readily available.)
Many experts recommend treatment with an antihistamine medication starting 1 day before initiation of the desensitization regimen and continuing daily until the dosage escalation is completed.
More rapid desensitization protocols are available (see "References," below) for patients urgently needing treatment with TMP-SMX.
Desensitization Regimen
Use commercially available pediatric suspension (containing TMP 8 mg and SMX 40 mg per mL [40 mg/200 mg per 5 mL]), followed by double-strength tablets, as follows:
|Dosage (TMP/SMX)
|Volume or Tablet
Note: These day ranges are approximate; patients can be advanced more quickly or more slowly, depending on their reactions to the dosages.
In the event of mild reaction: If the patient experiences a mild reaction or itching (i.e., mild morbilliform rash without fever, systemic symptoms, or mucosal involvement), the dosage can be reduced to the last tolerated step or continued at the same dosage for an additional day, while simultaneously treating the rash or reaction. Antihistamines or antipyretics may be used to treat symptoms of mild reactions. If the reaction diminishes, the patient may advance to the next dosage (consider more gradual increase of dosages); if the reaction worsens or if systemic symptoms develop, TMP-SMX should be discontinued.
In the event of severe reaction: The desensitization regimen should be discontinued and the patient should be treated appropriately for the reaction.
|8 mg/40 mg
|1 mL
|16 mg/80 mg
|2 mL
|40 mg/200 mg
|5 mL (or 1/2 single-strength tablet)
|80 mg/400 mg
|1/2 double-strength tablet (or 1 single-strength tablet)
|13 and thereafter
|160 mg/800 mg
|1 double-strength tablet
Patient Education
For home desensitization regimen
- Explain the benefits of using TMP-SMX. Be sure the patient understands and is able to follow these instructions:
- The patient should measure the dose carefully and take it each morning, followed by a glass (6-8 oz) of water. (The patient should do a demonstration, if possible, using an oral syringe that will be used for the actual measuring at home.)
- TMP-SMX can cause severe illness unless close attention is paid to any problems that may occur. It is extremely important for the patient to check his/her body temperature each afternoon. If the temperature is more than 100.5°F by mouth, the patient should stop taking the drug and contact the clinic. Note: If shaking chills occur, the body temperature should be checked as soon as the shaking stops, and the patient should contact the clinic.
- If the patient develops a rash, blisters on the skin or in the mouth, or vomiting, he or she should stop taking TMP-SMX and go the clinic or emergency room immediately. The skin should be checked each evening, and any time itching occurs.
- If mild itching or a faint rash occurs, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 25-50 mg PO can be taken Q4H as needed. If itching or rash persists, continue with the same dosage for an additional day; the patient should contact the clinic if there are questions or concerns.
- The patient should contact the clinic for alternative dosage instructions in the event of persistent itching without rash.
- Other adverse events should be reported immediately.
For all desensitized patients
- Desensitization may be effective only as long as the allergic individual is continuously exposed to the drug. After desensitization is complete, continue with the daily dosage. If the drug is stopped (even for a few days), the entire regimen may have to be repeated, as patients may have a recurrence of the adverse reaction.

Making Bacon
This post will be covering the fine art of curing and smoking bacon, or at least my experience with it. I am NOT a professional by any means but I did it and you can too. Is it easy? Well er, yes and no. Yes, in that it's all pretty methodical and no, in that it's all pretty of methodical, you have to babysit it and take care of it while it's smoking. Once you taste it, you won't care if you have to sit through a blizzard to make it, it's JUST that good.
You will need a pork belly, I got mine from a local butcher shop where they actually butcher animals. I say that specifically because many grocery outlets get meat prepackaged in boxes and will not have pork belly. I had a whole pork belly, you can buy it by the pound I believe, buy what you can smoke easily.
In a large non reactive pot you will need to mix 1 gallon of water, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 TBSP crushed peppercorns. This is very basic cure, make substitutions if you like, this was fantastic. Wash the pork belly, cut it into manageable pieces and submerge in the cure. Cover it well, I used saran wrap under the lid of the pan, and set to chill in the fridge for 3 days. Check on the pork daily, push it down under the cure or turn the pieces and press under if needed.
On the morning of the 3rd day, remove the pork belly, wash, pat dry and set on cooling rack to form a pellicle. The pellicle is the tacky feeling on the pork after it has dried out for about an hour. The stickiness helps the smoke adhere and keeps the moisture in.
While the meat is drying get the smoker going. Get the smoker going. Get the smoker going. When your girl scout ninja-fu fire lighting skills fail, and you feel like the chickens are heckling you (they are)
and you still can't get the fire going it's time to bring out the big guns. No, I'm NOT talking a cup of gasoline into the stove I'm talking this big gun:
Peace and Love--

If Charlie came home from work and I popped a piece of sultry, smoky, salty&sweet homemade bacon into his mouth upon entry, I could probably write off any chance of productivity for the rest of the day :PReplyDelete

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Looming over a busy stretch of Jackson Avenue in Oxford is a billboard, and it's not a welcome sight in the town that's home to Ole Miss.
The billboard reads, "Play with the Best," and includes the Mississippi State banner logo along with the athletic department's website address, HailState.com. To the left is a picture of MSU players hoisting the Egg Bowl trophy, which they won for the third consecutive year by defeating Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.
It appears to be a bold foray into enemy territory by MSU, and it's seen by several Ole Miss fans as an affront to them and their beloved Rebels.
According to MSU officials, that is far from the intent. It's just one piece of a larger marketing strategy involving billboards.
There are four other "Play with the Best" billboards around the state: Aberdeen, Biloxi, Clinton and near Morton. The placement of the boards came from the football office, according to Chad Thomas, MSU's assistant athletics director for marketing.
They went up the first week of this month and are only a one-month campaign. Thomas said they're a recruiting tool – football signing day is Feb. 1.
"We're trying to get it all in the major markets in Mississippi, and quite honestly, Oxford's a big market when you think about it," Thomas said. "When you've got some in Tupelo and Meridian and on the Coast and in Jackson already, you've got to start looking at some other places."
Mike Nemeth, MSU's senior associate AD for media relations and corporate development, said he's heard that "some folks are upset at the location."
Michael Thompson is not one of those people. He's the Ole Miss associate AD for communications and marketing.
"When you buy media or plan to buy media, it's not nearly as emotional as it seems sometimes," Thompson said. "Mississippi State, just like any other company, looks for powerful media markets, and Oxford happens to be one of them. They want to reach a steadily growing, popular place in Mississippi."
Mark Hodge, 33, is the owner of Hodge Real Estate in Oxford, and he likened MSU's current marketing campaign to other corporate marketing.
"I remember Pepsi taking shots at Coca-Cola, where Coca-Cola is clearly the superior product; Krystal taking shots at McDonald's and Wendy's in their commercials," Hodge said. "True leaders do not have to stoop to such marketing techniques."
A different approach
But MSU officials paint a much broader picture of their marketing efforts. Athletics director Scott Stricklin has said several times that MSU would need to take a different approach to promoting its brand, and this campaign is part of that.
There are two other major billboard messages being spread across the state: "Welcome to Our State" and "Miles Ahead." The former can be found at the state's borders, welcoming travelers to Mississippi. The boards used to feature coach Dan Mullen, but new ones that recently went up now feature MSU athletes who hail from the general area where the billboards are found.
The "Miles Ahead" campaign is what Thomas calls "directional signage," pointing people toward Starkville.
"It probably started about three years ago where we really got heavy back into the billboard campaign," Nemeth said. "We just feel like it's a good way to make a splash and reach a lot of people."
That coincided with the hiring of Mullen, and one of the campaigns at the time was "Spread the Fun," a reference to Mullen's spread offense.
MSU has spent $150,000 on the current round of billboards, which makes up 30 percent of its marketing budget. That's why State officials say this is bigger than just one billboard in Oxford.
It's important to them that the campaign touch every part of Mississippi, and the "Our State" billboards do that. It's sending a message that the school has adopted about its being the state's university, or the people's university.
Mullen has sounded that theme, talking about winning the in-state recruiting battles and representing the people of Mississippi. During SEC media days last July, he said, "I'd love nothing more than to win a champion-ship for the people of Mississippi."
One way of getting that message out is by those roadside signposts clearly marking the direction MSU believes it is heading.
"It's not just a Golden Triangle, it's not just a North Mississippi thing," Nemeth said. "We feel like we've got fans and people we're trying to reach all over the state. We're taking responsibility for trying to touch all those people."

Scientists view both Obama, McCain as supportive
Call it the political revenge of the nerds. For nearly eight years, many mainstream scientists have been frustrated with the Bush administration. They've claimed that science has been censored, ignored and politicized on issues from global warming to stem cells to evolution. Even the presidential science adviser was booted from the White House, forced to set up office down the street.
Both presidential candidates _ Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama _ offer policies farther from the president than they are from each other. They advocate mandatory caps on the main global warming gas and favor federal funding for embryonic stem cell research _ positions opposite the Bush Administration.
Obama and McCain promise to seek, not censor, government science advice and to restore the White House science adviser's office.
The differences between them are more notable in the nuances of policy than in the broad brush of campaigns. Both have promised more money for scientific research, though the ongoing financial crisis may make that tough.
One science spending difference managed to creep into the second presidential debate, however. McCain ridiculed an unsuccessful Obama earmark attempt to get "$3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Ill. My friends, do we need to spend that kind of money?" McCain asked.
It turns out that wasn't just an old-fashioned overhead slide viewer, but a replacement for the 38-year-old star-and-planet projector in the Sky Theater at the Adler Planetarium, the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere and located in Obama's home state.
For his part, Obama put spending for energy research ahead of health care and entitlement reform when asked in the debate to set priorities. He's called for an investment of $15 billion a year over 10 years.
"While on the surface it may look like they say the same thing ... when it comes to energy issues, you do get a little difference," said Syracuse University science and public policy professor Henry Lambright.
The candidates touch on the same alternatives to foreign oil, but McCain pushes heavily on domestic oil drilling and nuclear power; Obama emphasizes renewable energy such as wind and solar.
Both men propose a dramatic reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide _ the chief man-made greenhouse gas _ but their long-term goals are slightly different. Obama wants an 80 percent reduction by 2050. McCain, who wants a 60 percent cap, was an early leader in proposing mandatory emissions caps, bucking his party and his president.
Both candidates favor President Bush's plan to send astronauts back to the moon. But both disagree with the plan to retire the space shuttle in 2010, relying on the Russians for five years to send Americans into orbit. After once advocating diverting NASA money for education, Obama has been as vocal for space spending as McCain. Space is a big industry in Florida, a key battleground state.
Science policy experts like Granger Morgan at Carnegie Mellon University says, "Far more critical is to understand how the two candidates use science and technology advice."
And he and others say either man would be an improvement over Bush.
"They both appear to have areas where they've had terrific track records, and we think that many of the issues will be handled in a way that tracks more closely to the science," said Alan Leshner, chief executive of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
In past presidential campaigns, science advocates generally have been the wallflowers of political debate. This year, they have tried to get on the dance floor. More than 175 science organizations and universities called for a debate on science issues and got a 14-question survey answered by both candidates.

Parker's double-double leads Sparks past Mercury
PHOENIX After losing their playoff opener at home, the Los Angeles Sparks managed better ball movement against the Phoenix Mercury in Game 2. That proved to be the difference.
Candace Parker had 31 points and 11 rebounds to help the Sparks beat the Mercury 82-73 on Saturday night, evening their WNBA Western Conference semifinal series. The deciding Game 3 will be Monday night in Los Angeles.
"If we don't move the ball and if we don't make quick decisions, then we play right into Phoenix's hands," Parker said. "So I think we just made more of a concerted effort to move the ball, make hard cuts, and at least stay active because there was a lot of standing (in Game 1) in L.A."
Diana Taurasi, who scored 30 points in Phoenix's win at Los Angeles on Thursday, had 20 points on 6-of-18 shooting. However, after trailing at halftime for the second straight game, the Mercury couldn't rally for the win this time.
Taurasi said Phoenix got caught doing exactly what Parker warned against.
"The ball got stuck a lot in my hands, in DB's (DeWanna Bonner's) hands," Taurasi said. "There wasn't enough movement, we didn't create enough for each other and when the game gets hard and the pressure is on you really rely on each other to get open and get good shots and tonight we didn't do that."
Sparks coach Carol Ross said the difference was slight from Thursday to Saturday.
"These are two pretty evenly matched teams, that, like two old heavyweight fighters slugging it out," Ross said. "You are looking for any weakness on every possession and sometimes there are not a lot of them so you have to keep punching until you find something."
Among the differences from the first to the second game was turnovers - Phoenix made 17, seven more than it did on Thursday. Also, the Sparks had an edge inside, outrebounding the Mercury 37-35 and outshooting them by two percentage points.
"Everything was clear and simple with what we wanted to do and I think we did it a little bit better," Ross said. "There wasn't any major scheme change really, we just tried to emphasize the things that we do well and try to keep Taurasi from taking over."
Nneka Ogwumike also had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, Lindsey Harding scored 13 points and Alana Beard added 12 for the Sparks. Two days after receiving the league's MVP award for the second time, Parker shot 13 for 24 from the field and 5 for 6 on free throws.
Brittney Griner scored 18 points and Candice Dupree added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Mercury.
Parker had 15 points and four rebounds in the second quarter as the Sparks extended their early lead to a 44-30 advantage at the break and then held off Phoenix in the second half. Los Angeles led by 13 in the fourth quarter.
"I just thought that they had a little bit more energy early on and played a little bit more desperate than we did," Phoenix coach Russ Pennell said. "That was one of my big concerns coming in to this game. Sometimes you win a game like we did on the road, even at this level people's natural tendency is maybe to have a little bit of complacency. I didn't really sense that in our team but I know that Los Angeles had to win this game. So I thought we let them get away from us early."
The Mercury chipped away a bit in the third period with Taurasi getting 11 points to help her team get within 10 going into the final period but Phoenix never got the deficit to single digits until the final 3:07.

people rose faster than inflation, he said.
Singh, who considered the 9% economic growth seen during his previous term as a short acceleration and as exceptional, was optimistic about the coming months as the global economic cycle was turning for the better. He admitted insufficient infrastructure and bottlenecks in granting timely forest and environment clearances to projects. His government, however, was working hard to correct its performance in generating jobs in the manufacturing sector, which Singh said was not as successful as needed.
We need a much stronger effort in support of small and medium enterprises which can be a major source of good quality employment, he said.
Singh said the Congress was deeply committed to combating corruption, for which steps were taken including adopting the auction method for allocation of spectrum and coal blocks. Any wrongdoing will be punished through due process of law, he said, adding that most corruption charges were related to the previous term of the UPA, after which the coalition came to power again. We went to the electorate on the basis of our performance. People of India gave us mandate to govern for another five years, he said, adding that voters paid little heed to the charges raised by the media and the Comptroller and Auditor General. There were irregularities. But the dimension is overstated by the media and sometimes by the CAG, Singh said.
India attaches high priority to strengthening relations with the US, a close ally, with which it has a nuclear cooperation deal. Singh wanted to iron out the recent differences over the arrest of Indias deputy consul general Devyani Khobragade in New York. There have been recently some hiccups but I sincerely believe that these are temporary aberrations and diplomacy should be given a chance to resolve the issues that have arisen, he said.
Singhs message to foreign investors was clear. India provides a hospitable environment to foreign direct investment and would continue to do so. We will continue to improve our practices wherever needed, he assured.

GPL system shuts down again
For the second time within the last two weeks, the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) suffered a shutdown of its Demerara network.
The power company said that the outages experienced Tuesday night, commencing at 23:12 hrs, were as a result of a shutdown of its 60 Hz system.
"This was caused by the failure of a cable at our Kingston 11 Wartsila Power Plant feeding one of our high voltage 13,800/69,000 volts transformers."
The entire 60 Hz areas in Georgetown, the East Coast, East Bank, West Bank, and West Coast Demerara were affected.
"The power plant had to be kept off-line to allow for an inspection of the damage and to determine what was safe to re-energize. This activity delayed power restoration to sections of northern Georgetown which are supplied directly from this plant."
According to GPL, it started repowering of areas about 30 minutes later, starting with areas on the East Bank and West Bank Demerara. Then followed by areas on the East Coast around 23:30 hrs.
Windsor Forest and Edinburgh were the last to be repowered at 02:47 hrs yesterday, GPL said.
"Further investigation is being carried out at the Kingston 11 Plant to determine the full extent and cause of the damage. GPL sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience caused."

Cal State San Marcos pitcher has something to prove
James Dykstra was blindsided.
After a solid season on the mound at Cal State San Marcos last season, the right-hander flew his girlfriend out from Louisiana and waited to hear his name called in the major league draft.
The call never came.
"I didn't see it coming," the former Rancho Bernardo High standout said. "I talked to scouts leading up to the draft. They said to stay by the phone because someone would call."
After transferring to CSUSM from LSU, Dykstra was 7-2 with a 2.89 ERA in 14 starts last season. In 90 1/3 innings, he allowed just 69 hits, walking 31 with 79 strikeouts.
"Actually, as disappointing as it was, it has worked out well," Dykstra said. "I have more of an attitude on the mound now. I'm much more motivated. I turned my full attention to baseball."
Dykstra, whose brother Allan was a first-round pick of the Padres in 2008 and now is in the Mets organization, didn't turn his full focus to pitching until he got to CSUSM.
After a year at LSU, Tigers coaches told him playing time would be cut and said he was free to seek another opportunity. Because of NCAA transfer rules, he was limited to NAIA schools and had offers from top programs in Alabama and Texas.
He was drawn to CSUSM because of pitching coach Pat Hause.
"I had never heard of Cal State San Marcos," Dykstra said. "But I knew of Pat Hause, knew he was well-respected.
"I had never been coached full-time as a pitcher. Pat talks to you, not down to you. He tells you what he thinks, but takes your input."
The partnership worked last year and has been kicked into high gear this season.
After beating Sioux Falls on Sunday to go to 5-0 and push the team to 14-1, Dykstra saw his ERA dip to 1.38.
In 39 innings, he has allowed just 21 hits, walking six with 43 strikeouts.
"James is just throwing the heck out of the ball," Hause said of his pupil, whose two-seam, sinking fastball sits at 92 mph and hits 95, throws a slurvy slider and two-seam circle changeup he learned from Mark Furtak at RB.
"The kid is motivated. He wants to prove people wrong and put up numbers."
Will those numbers be good enough when the draft rolls around in June?
"I try not to think about the draft, but I know it's out there," Dykstra said.
"I've surprised myself with the success I'm having. I'm a little cocky on the mound now. This is my last chance to prove the scouts wrong, to prove I deserve a shot at pro ball."
Men's basketball
Chaffey dashed Palomar College's hopes of advancing to the CCCAA State Final Four, defeating the Comets 82-67. Palomar, which tied for the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference title, finished 21-10.
Women's basketball
• Palomar College, the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference champion, won its first two Southern California Regional playoff games, but saw its season end with a 68-60 loss to Moorpark. The Comets, who were winless three seasons ago, finished 18-11.
• Heather Servin (Torrey Pines) finished her junior season at San Diego Christian averaging 12.4 points a game for a team that finished 17-15.
• Cal State San Marcos finished its season 13-19 after a loss to Robert Morris in the semifinals of the A.I.I. Tournament.
• Palomar College (7-8, 4-1), on a four-game winning streak, finds itself in a first-place tie in the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference, heading into a three-game series this week with Southwestern.
• Brandon Bentson (Rancho Bernardo) of Cal State San Marcos, was named the A.I.I. Player of the Week after going 7-for-15 with six RBIs in four wins.

All of these questions:
- Excel 2007 Hangs When Closing via .NET
- How to properly clean up Excel interop objects in C#
- How to properly clean up interop objects in C#
struggle with the problem that C# does not release the Excel COM objects properly after using them. There are mainly two directions of working around this issue:
- Kill the Excel process when Excel is not used anymore.
- Take care to explicitly assign each COM object used to a variable first and to guarantee that eventually, Marshal.ReleaseComObject is executed on each.
Some have stated that 2 is too tedious and there is always some uncertainty whether you forget to stick to this rule at some places in the code. Still 1 seems dirty and error-prone to me, also I guess that in a restricted environment trying to kill a process could raise a security error.
So I've been thinking about solving 2 by creating another proxy object model which mimics the Excel object model (for me, it would suffice to implement the objects I actually need). The principle would look as follows:
- Each Excel Interop class has its proxy which wraps an object of that class.
- The proxy releases the COM object in its finalizer.
- The proxy mimics the interface of the Interop class.
- Any methods that originally returned a COM object are changed to return a proxy instead. The other methods simply delegate the implementation to the inner COM object.
public class Application
private Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application innerApplication
= new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application innerApplication();
innerApplication = null;
public Workbooks Workbooks
get { return new Workbooks(innerApplication.Workbooks); }
public class Workbooks
private Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks innerWorkbooks;
Workbooks(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks innerWorkbooks)
this.innerWorkbooks = innerWorkbooks;
innerWorkbooks = null;
My questions to you are in particular:
- Who finds this a bad idea and why?
- Who finds this a gread idea? If so, why hasn't anybody implemented/published such a model yet? Is it only due to the effort, or am I missing a killing problem with that idea?
- Is it impossible/bad/error-prone to do the ReleaseCOMObject in the finalizer? (I've only seen proposals to put it in a Dispose() rather than in a finalizer - why?)
- If the approach makes sense, any suggestions to improve it?

Point guard Abdul Gaddy made a strong impression on his future home court over the weekend.
Gaddy, who orally committed to play for Arizona in 2009, averaged 18.6 points and led the Arizona Cactus Classic with 36 assists in seven games for the Northwest Panthers.
His team fell one win short of the title game in the tournament, which featured 32 of the nation's top AAU travel teams at McKale Center and Bear Down Gym.
"I'm one of the youngest players on the team," said 16-year-old Gaddy, who will be a senior this fall at Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma, Wash. "I like playing with the older guys. It's a good experience."
The recent shakeup with UA assistant coaches apparently has not affected Gaddy's decision to become a Wildcat and play for Lute Olson.
"I'm still committed to Arizona and it's a big factor that Lute is back because I like him as a coach," Gaddy said. "Right now, I'm locked in on Arizona, and that's all I'm worried about."
The Scout.com five-star recruit is "probably one of the top point guards in the country," Panthers coach Gary Ward said.
"He has a great feel and understanding of how to play. . . . His intelligence, shot and his commitment to team are major factors in his play."
Gaddy's backcourt mate, Avery Bradley, is being recruited by UA. He averaged 24.7 points in the tourney. Guard Peyton Siva, another UA recruit, averaged 20.6 for Seattle Rotary Sel.
Houston Hoops defeated the Compton (Calif.) Magic 70-67 to claim the Cactus Classic title Sunday. Compton beat Gaddy's team in the semifinals 86-78.
Tommy Mason-Griffin, named the tournament's MVP, hit a 3-pointer with 3:54 left to give Houston a 64-61 lead.
Compton wouldn't go away, pulling within 68-67 with less than a minute left on Roberto Nelson's 3-pointer.
Nelson, who averaged an event-high 25.1 points a game, missed a 3 at the buzzer that would have tied it.

While we loved J.Lo's skin-tight, shimmery blue Tom Ford gown at the amFAR Inspiration Gala this weekend in New York, we couldn't notice Dree Hemingway's subtler look as well.
The model and actress radiated in a demure white, matte satin Calvin Klein dress with a lace skirt.
We've been seeing quite a bit of white on the red carpet lately, so it was refreshing to see that Dree paired her summer white dress with a bold, berry-stained lip.
A dark berry lip gives a lighter look just the right amount of edge. To emulate Dree at the amFAR Gala, try Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Berry Sexy.

|"DM me guuurl!"
One of the best moments from Sloane Stephens's breakthrough win over Serena Williams in the Australian Open quarterfinals was right after the pair shook hands. The 19-year old went straight for her phone to see if her mom had texted her. Probably, but she couldn't tell from the 233 messages she had waiting for her. Kids. She also said after the match, "I hope to have more Twitter followers" which she does now (43,321 and climbing). That's what it's all about, folks.
It was reminiscent of a 17-year old Maria Sharapova going for her dad's phone to call her mom after winning Wimbledon over, of course, ReRe. She famously wasn't able to grab a signal leaving everyone in giggles and securing the newly-minted star with a phone sponsor, Motorola, one of her many future sponsors (at 3:35):
I guess a teenage win over the 15-time Grand Slammer at a major is worth a phone check. And a lucrative sponsorship. Smartphone brands and carriers take note.

FAQ's for the S54 Vanos
We fully disassemble the vanos and the actuator housing is ultrasonically cleaned inside and out, new pistons seals and O-rings are installed, the oil pump disc is redrilled with smaller (9.75mm), then brand new factory solenoids and solenoid valves are installed with a new gasket plate. Finally, the vanos is fully tested with the special BMW tools to ensure everything performs properly.
The S54 Vanos comes fully built and ready to install, and includes a new vanos mounting gasket. The exhaust hub is not included with the S54 kit.
A core charge is a deposit for your old vanos unit or parts. By returning your old parts to us in good condition, we refund the deposit and are in effect buying the item from you in good faith. The core charge also allows us to send you a rebuilt vanos at a much lower price than a new unit would cost from the dealer. By sending out a complete, ready to install vanos the customer has the ability to replace their vanos as quickly as possible, and then return their old vanos to us for the core refund. This helps to keep your downtime to a minimum so you can get back on the road without waiting for parts.
Please note that while most every S54 core is rebuildable, occasionally they can fail in a manner that prevents them from being rebuilt. Typically the oil pump and bearing will fail when the exhaust hub fails, causing serious damage to the vanos and sometimes the engine itself. If this happens to you then your core may not be accepted for a refund. While this is a small risk for our customers, by purchasing our rebulit vanos you are accepting the responsibility of this risk. Keep in mind that even if your core is damaged beyond repair, the cost will still be several hundred dollars less than the retail price of a new S54 vanos at your local BMW dealer.
We ask that you return your old vanos unit to us as quickly as possible. Once we receive your complete core we will immediately refund the full core charge amount back to your Paypal or Credit Card account.
All cores or parts must be in rebuildable condition to receive a full refund. Damaged or broken parts will NOT be accepted.
Yes. The basic S54 vanos install can be performed without using the special BMW tools, but we do recommend having one of our preferred shops install your vanos for you. See our 'Recommended Installers' page link above. In addition, the use of diagnostic software is recommended for post-installation testing and adaptation procedures. When replacing the exhaust hub or cam bolts, the cam timing will need to reset requiring the cam alignment tool. We do offer the cam alignment tool for our customers to rent or buy. Of course you can always contact us by phone or email if you have any installation questions or concerns.
When installing a replacement S54 vanos we highly recommend checking the cam bolts and exhaust hub. If you are hearing a pronounced rattling noise it's likely that the cam bolts are loose. It can also be a good time for a valve adjustment while you're in there, and the valve cover gaskets may need to be replaced if more than 5 years old.
Yes, we encourage customers to send in their vanos to avoid the core charge involved with providing a pre-built unit up front. Once you send your vanos in we can have it rebuilt and shipped back out within 1-2 business days in most cases.

Our question:
As the ISP and the provider also of cable television to students, the University doubtless has the ability to block sites and channels that are without question egregiously pornographic. This would not, of course, prevent students from gaining access to pornography. It is too omnipresent. But at least much of the worst material might be blocked and, more importantly, the action would amount to a statement by the University. [We] assume pornographic magazines are not offered in Hammes or elsewhere on campus, but at present the University delivers it to the students via the Internet and television in large and unrestricted volume.
The University spokesperson's answer, "essentially the same" as he had given the Rover, was – brace yourselves – that the University relies upon the students not to look.
So one can only speculate as to the real reason the University serves as the principal distributor of pornography at Notre Dame. To make matters worse, the University charges for doing it. But what is in any event clear is that, since the University thereby acts as an enabler of what the Church teaches is grave sin, the University is not acting in accord with Ex Corde Ecclesiae'sinjunction that at a truly Catholic university " Catholic teaching and discipline are to influence all university activities."
Fr. Wilson (Bill) Miscamble, CSC, professor of history and former rector, echoed Fr. Haag's comments.
"Pornography tends to limit the capacity of its users to develop genuine friendships with women," he said. "The porn habit produces individuals who have no deep commitment to the dignity of human persons and little real respect for themselves. It is deeply harmful to young men and it serves to handicap their emergence as real and mature men."
"Notre Dame is a place that is concerned to educate the 'whole person,'" said Fr. Miscamble. "At its best it provides for the moral development and spiritual well-being of its students."
David G. Moss, interim director of the Gender Relations Center (GRC), said that "pornography normalizes the idea of physical intimacy without relationship. The hook-up culture adopts this fantasized concept of 'sex whenever you want it' and translates it for consumption in a more palatable format."
According to Moss, there is not enough being done to raise awareness of this issue.
"The GRC is always concerned with any issue that hinders our ability to build authentic relationship in our community," he said. "Our best weapon against this societal ill is to educate our student body about the havoc objectification of the other has on genuine relationships, and the GRC hopes to be a participant in these conversations."
"Personal conviction is the best answer to this problem," added Moss. "This is a difficult calling, but one that I believe the Notre Dame community is ready to accept."

Prominent Cambridge harness racing trainer Nicky Chilcott has been accused of trying to bring designer horse doping drugs into New Zealand. She has pleaded not guilty.
The 41-year-old appeared in the Hamilton District Court this morning (Wednesday December 5) charged with attempting to import performance-enhancing drugs.
"I swear I did nothing wrong except buy electrolites for a friend. This is a load of bullshit," Chilcott told Harnesslink.
She also faces six other charges relating to veterinary medicines.
Chilcott has pleaded not guilty to seven of the eight charges.
Chilcott told ONE News outside court today:
"I think it's just been a really big misunderstanding to be honest. I have never and would never use illegal substances on my horses."
Courtesy of TELEVISION NEW ZEALAND
Harness Racing New Zealand is concerned and disappointed by the court proceedings facing trainer Ms Nicky Chilcott in relation to the importation of certain products.
HRNZ awaits the outcome of the court proceedings with interest and will then review the findings in conjunction with the Racing Integrity Unit.
Ms Chilcott's licence status may be reviewed at that time depending on the facts and outcome of the judicial proceedings.
HRNZ is confident the rigorous prohibited substance testing programmes and investigative systems the Racing Integrity Unit has in place will continue to ensure that a high level of integrity is maintained within the racing industry.
Nicky Chilcott winning at Alexandra Park last Friday (November 30) behind Itsnowornever:

By Tim Linscott, Managing Editor
People could have had heart-pounding and anxious moments at the Perkins County Fair this year and it wasn't necessarily from any of the arena events. Two concerned grandparents, Jan Rahn and Shari Friedel, both of Grant, attended the Aug. 4 Perkins County Commissioners meeting to discuss their issues with the safety at the grandstands. Due to spacing between the bleacher bottom and seat in the top row, a gap wide enough for a child to fall through was noticed by Rahn. There is also nothing to prevent a child falling backward on the top row. If a child were to fall through they would plummet nearly 18 feet. After attending the demolition derby on July 26 at the fairgrounds, Rahn's husband Harlan was concerned about a child possibly falling through the gap in the top row and becoming injured. Weak boards throughout the grandstands was also a concern of the two residents. Commissioners Sid Colson and Leon Pankonin were receptive to the dangers at the grandstands and agreed something needs to be done to ensure safety before the 2015 fair approaches. Rahn and Friedel showed the commissioners a photo of Rahn at the top of the bleachers to show the potential dangers. "We will look at it and bring it to the fair board's attention," Colson said. It was noted at the meeting that Commissioner Steve Tucker, who was absent from the meeting, is planning to attend the next fair board meeting. County Clerk Rita Long added the concern to Tucker's agenda items to discuss with the board. Friedel suggested that the project of refurbishing the grandstands would be an excellent project for a community group or even an Eagle Scout project.

Driver charged for crashing car into creek
A driver was charged for crashing her car into a Lenoir County creek Friday evening, according to the Highway Patrol.
Shaniria Raqual Hardy, of Winterville, was driving around a curve just before 6 p.m., when she ran off the road, hit a railing, and plunged into Stonyton Creek, said Trooper J.D. Noble. The scene is located off Highway 58, near the Global Transpark.
According to Trooper Noble, water filled the car up to the top of the front seats. But Hardy and her passenger escaped by the time rescue crews arrived. Both were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Trooper Noble said.
Hardy was charged with failure to maintain lane.

Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity sells its 700th home to single mom
YUKON — No. 700 came with icing, and it wasn't just on the cake.
Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity dedicated its 700th house Wednesday, with a crowd of volunteers and well-wishers crowded inside Lisa Sumner's new digs, on James Lane in Yukon's Wagner Lake Estates addition.
The temperature was freezing, the wind howling and sleet coming in sideways. Inside it was as warm as toast — and people were thinking in the same direction: sideways, toward one another and Habitat's partnership approach to affordable housing.
Homes are built by volunteers, including the eventual homeowners, who donate time, money and materials. Each home is sold to a qualifying family at no profit, with no down payment and with a no-interest mortgage.
Most, likewise, were thinking — and praying — upward, so to speak. Habitat is a Christian ministry, after all, and preachers and lay church leaders helped Sumner and her two sons, 6-year-old Jackson and 3-year-old Jase, celebrate.
"I'm going to try to hold back the tears because this is an emotional day," said Sumner, a regulatory affairs specialist for the Oklahoma Foundation for Cardiovascular Research. "To point out how important Habitat is, a few years ago I was put in a position to make a decision for my family, and it left me with two small children and no place to go that I could afford. Habitat has just been such a blessing. Now we're the owners of a brand-new home, and it's affordable and we can stay here for as long as we want."
Home No. 700 was another major milestone for Central Oklahoma Habitat, founded in Oklahoma City on New Year's Eve, 1986. No. 600 was in January 2011. On Wednesday, Ann Felton Gilliland, chairman and CEO, said the charity builder would reach 1,000 homes "in the twinkling of an eye."
Sumner received housewarming gifts. Chris Smith, teaching pastor at Yukon Church, prayed. Habitat board member Kelli Hayward led a litany. And Habitat volunteer Lila Hoover presented Sumner with a Bible and talked about the emotional connection that grows between volunteers and homebuyers.
"Today seems to be an emotional day for me because Lisa finally has her home," Hoover said.

Beware: The Black Hats are coming to data science
The Internet has flourished despite the openness and foundation of loose consensus that both enables it and makes it vulnerable, said Alistair Croll, founder of Solve for Interesting and host at O'Reilly Media, in a Webcast this week. But big data is about to raise the bar of vulnerability and the more successful big data becomes, the more serious the threat to its integrity.
"Big data is the Layer 8 protocol. It is where humanity's rubber meets technology's road and it has great power, but demands great responsibility. And it presents a great deal of risk unless we do it right," Croll said.
Kicking off a webcast called, "Data warfare: Data is our foundation. What happens when it's under attack?" Croll warned that the abuse of big data technologies has far reaching consequences that grow more serious as our dependency on information becomes more acute.
Because they can, hackers, malicious programmers, thieves and increasingly with big data--manipulators--will soon begin to corrupt information, blind well-intentioned algorithms and inject falsehoods into queries and data sets. While malicious activity will grow, the new threat may be more subtle, such as using false data to undermine a competitor or even flip an election.
We know this, Croll said, because every time a technology is invented or discovered, whether it be fire, knives or guns, someone finds a way to do evil with it. In the era of big data, evil may--and in some ways already has--been used to "reduce the level of reasoned discourse and justify a hard-line stance," he said, citing studies that show how the tone, particularly an angry tone, of comments can polarize a debate and prevent any chance for compromise.
Croll said that an Armistice around big data warfare is many years away. "We will see a lot of catastrophic and very visible examples of people swaying elections or bringing down competitors or basically fudging the numbers in subtle, optimized, data science-driven ways."
Who are these new evildoers? Joseph Turian, an expert on machine learning and natural language processing and head of MetaOptimize, a consultancy for predictive analytics and business intelligence, calls them Black Hats.
Black Hats have not yet been identified in the realm of data science, but they're coming, Turian said.
"Most industry practitioners of data science are in fact Grey Hats. If you are working on advertising and you prioritize advertiser needs over consumer privacy, then you are a grey hat," Turian said. He describes Grey Hats as, at best, indifferent and/or negligent towards ethical concerns.
There is an entire spectrum of grey hat activity and Turian identified companies such as RapLeaf, Mahalo, Zynga and Demand Media among the darker grey.
Turian scoffed at the notion that the data scientist is a sexy new profession and compared the allure more to the Gordon Gekko type of sexy from the 1987 film, "Wall Street," a character who today is universally reviled. If you are an evil genius in the 21st Century, what job would you take? If you were Gordon Gekko, you would problem aspire to be a data scientist.
"If our predictions are correct and the big data market becomes increasingly lucrative, we will attract more unscrupulous actors because unscrupulous actors will be drawn to any large market they could exploit for profit and gain," Turian said. "If we don't have Black Hat data scientists, we will get [them] soon because the money will be there."
The task upon the industry is to figure out what the attack vectors will be and reduce or eliminate the vulnerabilities.

Atlanta Braves general manager John Schuerholz announced the team has signed catcher Brian McCann to a six-year deal.
Schuerholz says it's an unprecedented commitment to a player with less than two full years of major league service.
The contract runs through the 2012 season with an option for 2013.
McCann played minor league baseball with the Mississippi Braves before being called up to Atlanta.
Schuerholz says the contract does not set a trend for the team but is a reflection of McCann's unusual accomplishments so early in his career.

I'm tired of hearing bronies use the phrase "back in the day" when referring to the beginning of the brony fandom. You cannot talk about less than two years ago and call it "back in the day." The day needs to be at least ten years ago, more preferably 15. Also, you need to be at least 30 to use that phrase, because 14 year olds using that phrase to reminisce about something that happened 400 days ago is pathetic.Wednesday, 08-Aug-12 06:16:21 UTC from web
@crusader8 And I'm tired of hearing "convert" or "love and tolerate." Actually, ESPECIALLY "love and tolerate." D:<
@crusader8 Hm. Back in the day, i was one.
@crusader8 The fandom has changed so much, people who were around in it's starting months are allowed to use "back in the day". The thing is that people who weren't around use that because they don't understand.
@scriba Yeah, that too! No good jimmy-rustling tolerators.
@crusader8 Can we say "back when I joined the fandom"?
@redenchilada You can say "remember last year" or "hey two years ago, ____"
@crusader8 I know, right!? I can't tolerate those tolerating tolerators! D:<
@crusader8 Too bad. I'm going to say "back when I joined the fandom" to talk about things that happened when I joined the fandom.
@crusader8 I'm 20 which is almost like 30 except I'm crying about being 20 instead of being 30.
@redenchilada oops meant to use the word "also" hehe
@yodelerty you gots nothing to cry bout yet boi
@yodelerty Eat me, Mr. "Oh I'm 20 but almost like 30 while other people are really almost real-30."
@crusader8 Oh, ok. That makes loads more sense. Very good then.
@yodelerty EAT ME!!
@scriba Om nom nom.
@yodelerty You will cry just like that when you are 24. Made me deduce that my age does not matter because I laways will be unsatisfied with it :)
@yodelerty papayasen.
@scriba hey br0, love and tolerate!!!!!! thats wat we did back in the day when this fandom was new and we actally cared abotu converting new pepple to our fandum!!!
@redenchilada What if I never gave a plot about conversion, though?
@scriba most of that tolerance is actually pitying with lots of makeup on.
@redenchilada *fandumb
@hakupony But not when I am 21 because then I will satisfy the United States' ridiculously high drinking age.
@crusader8 Tolerance is pretty much: "You are a pain but I will not beat you up for it".
@techdisk42 Oh yeah, I knew I was missing a letter somewhere in the nonsensical BS-spouting I was doing. Thanks!
@hakupony if the world loved instead of tolerated, the world would be a happier place! There'd also be lots of sex.
@yodelerty Lol in canada its 19
@techdisk42 I live in Alberta and it's 18 here. :P
@redenchilada No problem. Im an expert in nonsensical BS-spouting.RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space), Sir E. Hooves III, Thomas and Bit Shift like this.
@yodelerty not high enough in my opinion. Kids need to stop revolving their young adulthood around partying and alcohol. Or lower it to like something stupidly low so they can get used to it before they start getting behind a 2-ton murder weapon their parents buy their spoiled butt for their birthday.
@crusader8 Yeeeesss.
@yodelerty Ah. Ontario here :P and i only say 19 because i know thats the legal smoking age, but i dont know the drinking age. I assume they are the same.
@crusader8 Eeyup, sounds awesome, doesn't it?
@abigpony it doesn't take a unique "had-to-be-there" experience to catch up with less than two years' history of fandom. Seriously, it's not that deep. Like I said, there is no "back in the day."
@crusader8 I'll claim that privilege despite being a month less than 30 years old. Back in the day, MLP fans were caled fillies because there was no abnormally large contingency of male fans.
@crusader8 The drinking limits don't work at all and if young people want to waste their lifetime, then I honestly don't care. I expect some level of maturity at that age...
@crusader8 You really think the drinking age determines whether kids drink or not? It doesn't. Kids see it as rebellious so they do it. My quarrel with such a high drinking age is that, at 18, it's legal to get married and be a parent of children but you're not allowed to drink alcohol, which makes no sense whatsoever.
@thatonestocking Over here, you can have beer and wine at 16 and liquer and tobacco at 18.
@thatonestocking We even have a law about what ingredients a beer might have xD
@yodelerty actually what determines whether kiddies drink is individual exposure to it. My parents exposed it to me when I was a young child. Tasted like crap, still does. A higher drinking age limit will help clear out some of the young dumb-bucks that clog up local areas where I attempt to chill at. So if they do it illegally, they gotta do it in privacy where I don't have to deal with them. Then the suggestion for really low age limit is so that they are rebellious and learn about their limits and the effects of being drunk before they get behind the wheel of their first car. I'll be satisfied either way.
@yodelerty I find the age limits for marriage rather arbitrary.
@crusader8 I don't drink anyway so I don't really know why I'm even debating this. XD
@pony Yeah well, you know. \
@pony Age limits for everything are arbitrary.
@yodelerty probably because youre 20 and ready to challenge the world and old farts like me.
@crusader8 I don't know how it is where you live, but over here, every teen knows somepony who could organize some alcohol - and most likely somepony who could organize some weed. They also consume it in public and just avoid the police. Set the drinking age too high and the people won't accept the law and this will expand
@yodelerty @scriba I don't really know what the limit for marriage is suposed to protect children against, but for alcohol and tobacco's age limit I'm heavily biased and wouldn't mind seeing it prohibited 'til full brain development has completed at 22.
@pony Yeah, well, I mean, I porbably agree with you, but I == drunk, so yeah?
@scriba xD
@hakupony yep, totally different where you live. It's easy for kids to get their hands on this stuff, but they got two choices - fake ID or at a friend's house when mean grumpy grownups aren't home.
@crusader8 Or ask someone with an id to get it for them.
