AVG has published an engine upgrade to its popular anti-virus scanning software that addresses a raft of stability bugs.
The update, published Tuesday, addresses a bug that means the scanner is liable to crash when scanning malformed UPX compressed executable files. More significantly version 8.0.156 of the software fixes glitches introduced around the same time AVG modified the LinkScanner Search-Shield component of its software on 9 July so that it didn't scan every page returned by a search query.
LinkScanner pre-scanned each result shown in a link with a user agent disguised so that it appeared to come from a IE6 user. These scan results were difficult to distinguish from regular traffic because they came from whatever IP address an AVG 8 user happened to have. This traffic-spewing behaviour created overinflated site visitor statistics for sites that appeared high in search engine results pages. It also ratcheted up bandwidth costs for websites.
In response to these criticisms, AVG said on 9 July that its LinkScanner software would only scan links clicked on by users (Active Surf-Shield).
This change and other recent tweaks introduced update crash bugs and around 30 other flaws addressed by the AVG 8.0.156 program update. The software fixes the anti-virus engine that powers AVG rather than simply adding new malware definitions. More detail in AVG's advisory here. ®

Three railroad workers, a Chinese man, an Italian, and a redneck, are all sitting down to lunch. The Chinese man says, "If I get another egg roll in my lunch, I'll kill myself."
The Italian guy says, "If I get another slice of pizza, I'll kill myself."
The redneck says, "Iffin I get another ham hock, I'll kill myself."
The next day, all three men get the same lunches, so they throw themselves in front of an oncoming train. At the funeral the Chinese man's wife says, "If only I hadn't packed an egg roll that day."
The Italian guy's wife says, "If only I hadn't packed a slice of pizza that day."
"Don't look at me," says the redneck's wife. "He done packed his own vittles."

Hats off to the suggestion that the Burlington City Council could be more open and representative of the people in the city. I know this suggestion is as outrageous as someone in Alamance County suggesting that the Alamance-Burlington School System be redistricted to aline the school population with our physical school resources in the county.! Politicians cringe at the idea that they make such suggestions in a public forum.
My suggestion is go to a four district ward system in the city with the mayor elected at-large with the public given the opportunity to know the candidates political affiliation. Each section of the city would have a right to be represented and the other three sections could not seize two wards because you would have to live in your ward to run.
Five councilmen or women are enough for our taxpayers to have to fund, which would include the mayor.
I am interested in Councilman Bob Ward�s in the Sept. 18 Times-News in which he made the statement, �And I didn�t say fair representation . � I think the unrepresented public already knows why the changes I have suggested will improve their representation in this city.
What remains to be seen is if there is a chance in hell that any positive changes will ever be implemented.

If you're a comic book character, chances are you don't age at a normal rate (unless you're the Punisher or a character in Love and Rockets). Still, that hasn't stopped artist Ilias Kyriazis from taking the tots, tykes, and tweens of the Marvel Universe today and imagining where they'll be 15 years down the road. Here's his conception of the Avengers of 2027 A.D.
I like how Kyriazis' team draws from characters all across the Marvel Universe. I also appreciate the quirky details, such as Jessica Jones and Luke Cage's daughter being trained by Iron Fist and Valeria Richards' jury-rigged Ultimate Nullifier. Here's his full roster, and we've included some of his nifty design notes below.
The daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal, leader of the Inhumans. She's addicted to the Terrigen Mists and she's been exposed to them again and again. Who knows what powers she possesses now beyond her visual empathy? I tried to give her a slightly Kirby-esque costume.
[Quentin Quire] wears the old school uniform (he always did like retro clothes), with purple instead of blue to reflect Magneto's teachings too. He's still a jerk though, hitting on Luna only because he wants to be able to brag that he nailed Magneto's granddaughter.
Her costume has a similar cut to her mother's original Jewel one, a yellow and green color scheme like her uncle's and her weapon of choice, chains, is a nod to her father (as is her kidda-like-a-tiara haircut).
[Molly Hayes from the Runaways'] costume is a mixture of the most typical superhero-y design she could think of (with nods to Cap and Spider-man) and the street clothes she's gotten so used in wearing in her earlier adventures.
The daughter of Mr Fantastic and Invisible Woman [...] Her costume is a hi-tech version of the original Fantastic Four uniform with the cowl she's expected by her Latverian subjects to wear.
The son of Tigra and a Skrull Hank Pym impostor [...] He can morph into all types (and sizes, wink, wink) of cats and cat-like creatures, from a giant lion-monster to an army of alley cats. His costume has elements from both Skrull and Cat People cultures.

Rick Caro called him a "legend." Greg Herbert called him a "remarkable man." Zoe Veasey described him as a "breath of fresh air everywhere he went."
Dale Dibble passed away last month at the age of 90, but his legacy in the health club industry won't soon be forgotten by those he touched as co-founder of Cedardale Health & Fitness, Haverhill, MA, and as a co-founder of the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association.
"I was in awe of him," Rick Caro, longtime friend of Dibble and president of consulting company Management Vision, wrote in an e-mail announcing Dibble's death. "He was so generous in every way. His down-home accent and expressions were so ingratiating. He loved life and literally defied the best hospitals and doctors for almost 20 years by exercising profusely when his arteries and heart were malfunctioning. He loved his wife (Olive Mae), loved his friends—and there were many—and enjoyed all he encountered."
Herbert, senior manager at Cedardale, worked for Dibble for 15 years. He still works there with current owners Ed and Zoe Veasey.
"He was a remarkable man," Herbert says of Dibble. "He taught me more about business than I learned going through school. He taught me so much about the health club business. I thought the things he taught me were typical, but I found out that they were unique in the club business."
Dibble was one of the first club operators to implement a computerized entry system for members, even designing the software that the club used. During the 1980s, he started a class at the club to teach senior members how to use computers. It was a way to get seniors to the club, socializing and then exercising, Herbert says.
"I don't know if the guy ever slept," Herbert says. "He would come in with the next idea. Not only would he be able to do that, but you could come to him with any problem—personnel or membership—and he could give you a very good perspective on what we should do. He wasn't afraid to try things way outside the box. At one time when we were primarily a tennis club, we took one of our most high visibility courts—the one right next to the lounge—and converted it to badminton courts."
Zoe Veasey says that the partners in Cedardale toured the country a lot looking at what other clubs were doing. Dibble's background as an engineer was invaluable in quickly drawing up plans to implement any ideas that came from those trips.
"Dale was always very valuable because he could visualize and foresee the changes we had to make and draw the plans and be ready to go," Veasey says.
Dibble retired about 20 years ago, Veasey says, and didn't dabble too much in the Cedardale club after that. However, he did get involved in the fitness of the other residents at the Bentley Village, a Classic Residence by Hyatt retirement community in Naples, FL, where he and his wife Olive Mae lived. The couple became involved in the community's fitness center and helped encourage residents to exercise at the facility. Usage at the club increased from 500 visits a month to 4,000 visits per month, in large part due to the Dibbles' efforts, according to a 2004 article about Dibble in Pyramid, a quarterly publication of the Cleveland Clinic. In fact, so many residents began exercising that Hyatt had to change its business model because fewer residents were "moving down" to the urgent care facilities on the property as projected, Caro wrote.
Dibble, who had angina, had two heart bypass surgeries in the 1980s and a stenting procedure performed in 2000, according to the article in Pyramid.
"The amazing thing about Dale was how he overcame serious heart disease," Veasey says. "He lived to be 90 by his wife taking very good care of him and by following a very strict regime."
Caro wrote that Dibble led the health club industry into computerization and club management software. He created the multi-sport club by converting his plain vanilla indoor tennis building into a multi-sport club. He taught club owners and club members the value of regular change. In addition, Dibble created a seniors' center within his club, providing computer classes, fitness equipment classes and regular social activities for seniors.
Caro also wrote that Dibble taught many people in the industry without fear of repercussions or fear of educating his future competition.
"He had an infectious attitude, a thirst for learning, a strength in numbers, a huge belief in the team and sharing information, and a commitment to the member experience," Caro wrote. "He regularly re-invested well in excess of industry norms to provide more. He created an outdoor facility experience and taught us the concept of corporate outings and outdoor facilities for children and the family. He believed in a major emphasis on incentives for key staff for successful performance. The culture he created was envied by all."
IHRSA named its distinguished service award for Dibble. The award is presented each year to an individual within IHRSA who has excelled in his or her contributions to the industry and to IHRSA.
Dibble is survived by his wife and his son, John. No funeral was held, which didn't surprise Herbert, who said that Dibble liked to stay in the background.

The US Federal Loans scheme allows various different types of loans to assist students with the cost of their studies.
These are Direct Loans, which include:
- Subsidized Loans
- Unsubsidized Loans
- PLUS Student Loans
Another option separate from the US Federal Loans scheme which students may also wish to consider is Private Student Loans. US Students are not eligible for the Pell Grants if studying at foreign schools.
US Federal Loans are originated from 1 July each academic year therefore it is very important for applicants to ensure that documents with expiry dates (e.g. credit checks) will still be valid up to 31 July.
Imperial London College School Code is G11567
Accordion widget 2 - payments
Loan options
Direct Stafford Loans
These are low interest loans for eligible students to help cover the cost of higher education. Eligible students borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) at participating schools.
Direct Loans include the following types of loans:
- Subsidized Loans – these are for students with financial need. You are not charged interest while you're in school at least half-time and during grace periods and deferment periods
- Unsubsidized Loans – You are not required to demonstrate financial need to receive an Unsubsidised Loan. Interest accrues on an unsubsidized loan from the time it's first paid out
Further information about the Direct Stafford Loans and eligibility for loans is available via Federal Student Aid webpages.
The USDE has set borrowing limits for the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans:
|Dependent Undergraduates
|Year 1
|Year 2
|Year 3+
|Independent Undergraduates
|Year 1
|Year 2
|Year 3+
|Per academic year
The total aggregate loan limit from all Direct Loans combined at any one time is:
- $31,000 for dependent undergraduate students excluding those whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS Loan (no more than $23,000 may be Subsidized)
- $57,500 for independent undergraduate students and dependent undergraduates whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS loan (no more than $23,000 may be Subsidized)
- $138,500 for graduate or professional students (no more than $65,500 may be Subsidized; includes loans for undergraduate study).
PLUS Loans
- Parent PLUS loans - these are available to parents of dependant students pursuing undergraduate study only; dependency status is determined through the FAFSA and will be shown on your ISIR
- Graduate PLUS loans - these are only available to graduate (or professional) study students
The maximum PLUS loan available in any academic year is limited to your calculated annual Cost of Attendance (CoA) minus any other sources of funding.
Private Student Loans
We will work with all private lenders as long as they are happy to issue loans to our students. We cannot recommend any private lenders specifically, but if a student applies for private funding, we can certify such loans. Students will be required to complete the IC COA 2019-2020 spreadsheet to enable us to certify the loan and submit this to the Student Financial Support team stating that you wish to apply for a private loan. Please also state the amount of the Sallie Mae loan you have applied for in your email.
Terms and conditions of Federal loans may be much more favourable than private education loans.
The 6 step application process
- Complete a FAFSA
The FAFSA will generate your Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR). Imperial College London's School Code is G11567.
- Receiving your ISIR
Check that it includes an EFC (Estimated Family Contribution). Contact FAFSA to make corrections if required.
- Complete the CoA
The IC COA 2019-2020 will calculate the maximum loans you can request based on your study costs less Expected Financial Contribution and any Financial Aid.
- Complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN)
An MPN each will be required for the Direct & PLUS loans. A PLUS Application and credit check will be required if you will be using a PLUS Loan.
- Complete your Entrance Counselling
Federal law requires borrowers to complete entrance counselling. Special PLUS Counselling is required for applicants with adverse credit history which has resulted in the credit check not being accepted.
- Send your application to us by email
Email the completed IC COA 2019-2020 together with the following documents to email@example.com
- Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans MPN
- PLUS Loan MPN
- Credit Check
- Entrance Counselling
- Selective Service (applicable to males only)
Upon receipt we will review your documents and notify you if the application is not in order. Loans will be originated after 1 July 2018 and you will be emailed a US loans notification letter which can be used as evidence of funding for your visa application.
A summary is also available via the IC COA 2019-2020 [PDF].
Payment of your loan
Federal loans will be disbursed in three instalments.
Disbursement dates are set for:
- 13 September 2019 (for September starters only)- known as Disbursement 1,
- 11 October 2019 (for October starters only)- known as Disbursement 1,
- 17 January 2020- known as Disbursement 2, and
- 1 May 2020- known as Disbursement 3.
Disbursements are dependant on:
- Enrolment confirmation prior to each disbursement
- Students providing their UK bank account details to the Student Financial Support team
- The completion of a Satisfactory Academic Progress report (SAP) by your Tutor/Supervisor sent to Student Financial Support team prior to the January and May disbursements.
All disbursements are made in British Pound Sterling. A daily spot exchange rate is obtained on the dates below to calculate your payments.
Disbursement 1
September starters
- Spot rate and email notification to student: 3 September 2019
- Date of cleared funds in student's bank account: 13 September 2019
October starters
- Spot rate and email notification to student: 1 October 2019
- Date of cleared funds in student's bank account: 11 October 2019
Disbursement 2
- Spot rate and email notification to student: 7 January 2020
- Date of cleared funds in student's bank account: 17 January 2020
Disbursement 3
- Spot rate and email notification to student: 21 April 2020
- Date of cleared funds in student's bank account: 1 May 2020
Students must ensure that that have sufficient funding for the period leading up to Disbursement 1.
Tuition fees and deposit requirements
Tuition fee deposits
US students receiving any of the loans mentioned in this document are not required to pay the 10 percent deposit in advance of registering. Please refer any correspondence requesting a deposit payment to this webpage or directly to the Student Financial Support team.
Tuition fee payments
Imperial College requires that tuition fees receive priority before any maintenance payments are made. Tuition fees will therefore be proportioned in line with your disbursements. This will result in your disbursement being applied to a third of your total tuition fees with the remaining loan funds paid into your UK bank account for maintenance.
If your disbursement is less than the proportioned tuition fees payable, the whole disbursement amount will be used towards tuition fees. Students are responsible for paying any outstanding tuition fee debt not covered by disbursements.
Satisfactory Academic Progress reports (SAP)
Your eligibility for Direct Loans is dependent upon your continued attendance and participation on the relevant degree programme.
If there is any change to your circumstances (for example temporary or permanent withdrawal, extensions, etc.) you must inform us and the US Department of Education immediately.
You will be required to provide the Student Financial Support team with the name and contact details (including email address) of your supervisor/tutor within the first two weeks of the start of the academic year. We are required to contact them and confirm your satisfactory academic progress. Please read the full Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy 2018 for further information.
Without this progress confirmation we are unable to process any of your Direct Loan disbursements.
Please note that in the event that a student's SAP report is not satisfactory they will be put on probation for 3 months. Failure to improve academic results during this period will affect future disbursements.
Title IV loan code of conduct – participating schools
The College's code of conduct for US loans is as follows:
In order to prohibit a conflict of interest of an agent with respect to private education loans, all agents at the University with responsibility for US loans are prohibited from the following:
- Revenue-sharing arrangements with any lender
- Receiving gifts from a lender, a guarantor, or a loan servicer
- Contracting arrangements providing financial benefit from any lender or affiliate of a lender
- Directing borrowers to particular lenders, or refusing or delaying loan certifications
- Offers of funds for private loans
- Call centre or financial aid office staffing assistance
- Advisory board compensation.
All agents with responsibility for US loans are reminded at least annually of the code.

Featured review of the month.
"JR Gas & Water - offered an extremely professional yet very friendly approach to our hot water issue. We rang our usual plumber to replace and install a new hot water system on a Saturday morning but he couldn't help us. After a 'Google' search of our local area JR popped up with a 5 star rating. Upon speaking with Jarred, on the first phone call to him, getting an immediate quote, giving the go-ahead for the job, everything was completed within 3 hours. Jarred is a polite, extremely efficient and professional tradesman. As well as a kind person. Now that a week has passed, everything is working properly, and our new Rheem Hot Water System looks perfect and neat in it's new home. We also have a new Plumber. Thanks for your conscientious and prompt service."

Food for thought
Bangkok's street-food culture is world famous, but the city fathers regard it as a blot on the urban landscape. Will food vendors soon vanish from the streets of the Thai capital?
When the sun sets over Bangkok, the office towers clothe themselves in neon light. The glass doors swing open and life pours out into the city's canyoned streets. The noise of the traffic swells, taxis honk their horns, tuk-tuks rattle along the streets, and buses spit clouds of soot into the evening sky. Rush hour here can be worse and last longer than anywhere else in the world. Small wonder: Metropolitan Bangkok is home to roughly 15 million people, so you need patience to get from A to B, as well as a good meal before setting off for home.
This is not a problem in the acknowledged street-food center of the world. A wok should be part of Bangkok's coat of arms. Nowhere else will you find as many street-food stalls, nowhere else so much boiling and roasting, frying and baking, grilling and stewing, lip-smacking and smiling taking place on every sidewalk. Even the bestowers of stars from the Michelin Guide have recognized Asian street food vendors multiple times. The freshness, the variety, the omnipresence of food – even France cannot keep up!
Half a million people cook food on the street in Bangkok. Plates of pad Thai (fried noodles), bowls of tom yam (hot-and-sour soup), boxes of khao niao mamuang (mango sticky rice) – all street-food icons in Thailand – have long become a billion-dollar business, although the price per portion is often less than one euro. But this win-win situation for cooks and customers could soon come to an end. Why? Three years ago, a military junta came to power in Thailand and the old generals have become increasingly concerned about the safety and cleanliness of the city's crowded streets. "Every street vendor will have to move out!," declared Wanlop Suwandee, chief advisor to the governor, in the English-language broadsheet The Nation last spring. His argument: The sidewalks belong to pedestrians, not street cooks and other vendors. So the city administrators gave the street-food vendors notice to clear out by the end of the year or they would be removed. Shock waves rippled through the metropolis.
For the first time, we're really afraid of being chased away.
Charoen Krung is the oldest street in Bangkok and like a snake, the stretch that runs through Chinatown is once again shedding its skin – a new subway line is being built there. Outside a crumbling temple across from the construction site, Eng Saijai, 60, is a whirlwind with a wok. Her surly expression is half hidden in a cloud of cooking fumes. "I've been standing here for 30 years serving my specialty, Chinese rice noodles with fishcakes and tofu." Three helpers scurry around, carrying steaming plates of food to four metal tables. "For the first time, we're really afraid of being chased away," says Eng. The new subway will raise the value of the neighborhood, which in turn will attract investors, and they like things neat and clean, just like the generals.
A bus rumbles past behind Eng, whose cookshop is right beside the curb. One false move could be her last. "Yes, it's dangerous and the traffic is terrible. But I have built up something here," she says chattily from behind her surgical mask. She also runs a second food stall and has 14 people depending on her for wages. The money she makes has enabled her to send her three children to university – social advancement via platefuls of food.
Around the corner, where Charoen Krung intersects with Yaowarat Road, you can already see how the strict new rules are affecting the street cooks. Allowed to set up shop only after 6 p.m. and with drastically reduced stall space, they call attention to their wares all the louder, and the lines in front of the most popular stalls grow even longer. As a clueless tourist, you simply join the line. After all, Thais are picky about their food. They will travel across the city for a good som tam (papaya salad) or – for the more sophisticated – fresh pla kapong neung manao (steamed sea bass with lime) only to stand patiently in line, their eyes glued to their smartphones.
Critics of the food-stall culture argue lack of hygiene, which is nonsense: Women like Eng Saijai get up at five a.m. and drive to the market half an hour later to pick up the day's ingredients. They sell the freshly prepared food until it's gone. Garbage is a real problem, on the other hand: Many of the food stalls only serve food to go. Environmentalists estimate that 70 million plastic bags and 60 million polystyrene containers change hands in Thailand every single day. Unfortunately, recycling is not one of Thailand's specialties.
Classic thai dishes
There are no mountains of trash to be seen in Lumphini Park. Bangkok's green lung is clean and idyllic. Jorge Carrillo, 65, is sitting on a stone bench next to a lake, when a monitor lizard waddles by, sticking out its tongue. Carrillo is an anthropologist from Venezuela who spent many years working for the UN, studying the causes and consequences of poverty in countries such as Bhutan, Indonesia and Vietnam. Now he wants to save Bangkok's cookshops and has founded the Beyond Food initiative. "I want to help people understand that this is about more than a tasty pad Thai for tourists," he says. "Putting an end to the food stalls would create something like a social earthquake!"
Carrillo's argument goes like this: First, wages are low in Bangkok. If cheap street food were to disappear, more workers would have to eat in expensive restaurants. To do so, they would need to earn higher salaries, which would weaken the city's ability to attract business. Second, cookshops make the streets safer. "Wherever there's food, you will have people congregating, and wherever they congregate, they want it to be nice!" So with them, deserted street corners awaken to new life and the crime rate falls. New businesses even open on streets popular for their street food. Third: Food stalls bring people together and grilled satay with peanut sauce act as social glue. "You will see bankers on plastic stools enjoying their food alongside taxi drivers. For Thais, food is the common denominator."
The city's administrators are now dreaming of theme parks outside the city limits modeled on the sterile food courts found in the city-state of Singapore. "But what tourist will get on a bus to be carted off to a place like that?" asks Carillo. "Food stalls belong on the street!" Anthropologist and realist, he has seen and experienced many things in his life, but now he's so angry that his eyes are shooting poison darts right through his glasses. Carillo has an extensive network of contacts. Along with his fellow activists at Beyond Food, he organizes events, panels and discussions, and has even tried to mobilize people through social networks. "But Thailand is a very hierarchical society," he says, "and true change will have to come from the top."
The top. Where is that in this city? Down by the river perhaps. The garden of luxurious The Peninsula hotel is both an oasis and a kitchen garden. A green papaya tree throws shadows into the morning heat and 50 meters away, the brown waters of the Chao Phraya roll slowly toward the Gulf of Thailand. Siriporn Bualoung, 37, known to everyone as Ning, is the head chef at the Thiptara, the hotel restaurant. Traipsing through her herb garden, she snips a few mint leaves here and a little Thai basil there. "We have more than 30 different types of herbs, vegetables and fruit growing here, it's paradise," says Ning with a laugh. It's the laugh of someone who has achieved something, a laugh that contains both defiance and pride.
Ning's path to becoming a haute cuisine chef began in her grandmother's kitchen. "She was from northern Thailand, where many people are very poor. The food is not as spicy as it is in the south, but it's heavier." Little Ning helped her grandmother cook and then sold the food on the street. "Green curry with duck," she remembers, "people virtually ripped it out of our hands." As a teenager, Ning took over her grandmother's market stall and eventually opened a small restaurant serving fried noodles. But Ning wanted more. In 2003, she applied to one of the country's best hotel management schools and was accepted. After that, she spent seven years working as a cook in the Chinese gamblers' paradise, Macau. For the last two-and-a-half years, she has been in charge of the kitchen at The Peninsula, one of the best hotels in Asia.
What's her take on the cookshop debate? "For people in Bangkok, street food is like a compass," she says, wrinkling her brow: "If you take it away, they will lose their bearings." Nobody knows yet how tough the authorities will ultimately get on the street-food scene. In the middle of the year, a section of Thonglor district well known for its street food was relentlessly cleared. Other popular areas have remained untouched. This kind of arbitrary behavior is what scares street-food vendors the most.
Chef Bualoung is thankful for everything that she has achieved. "But I will never forget that I came from the world of street-food vendors." Her favorite dish to this day is tom yam gung, the hot-and-sour soup made with fish sauce and lemongrass, shrimp and tamarind that can be had for just a few bahts on every street corner in Bangkok. For the moment, anyway.
Snack ideas
There are hundreds of cookshops and street-food stalls – mostly frequented by locals – at Wang Lang Market outside Siriraj Hospital.
The busy thoroughfare Yaowarat Road turns into a neon-illuminated food mile when the lights of Chinatown go on at dusk.
The Peninsula ferries guests across the river in its own shuttle junks. The hotel terrace and the food there are highly recommended.
You'll find cool vintage fashions at Chatuchak Market as well as good street food. Saturday and Sunday are the days to go.

Monster (MWW) will buy Yahoo (YHOO) HotJobs for $225 million in cash, the companies announced today.Details from the release:
- "Monster and Yahoo! have also entered into a three year commercial traffic agreement, to take effect upon the closing of the acquisition."
- "Monster will become Yahoo!'s provider of career and job content on the Yahoo! homepage in the United States and Canada."
- "The traffic agreement calls for performance based annual payments calculated by clicks and expressions of interest, subject to annual floors and ceilings."
This is a long-anticipated but still very smart move by Yahoo. HotJobs is not central to Yahoo's core portal business. This way it gets to unload the costs of maintaining the service, some cash now, and some cash later.
Some other businesses we expect Yahoo to try to sell next include Yahoo! Games and Yahoo! Shopping. Earlier today, Jeff Bercovici reported that Yahoo has given up trying to sell Yahoo! Small Business.
One group this deal could negatively impact are the newspapers in Yahoo's Newspaper Consortium, Though Yahoo says it will maintain that partnership by "providing both search and display advertising, content distribution, and its ad-serving platform," the biggest draw for newspapers was always the ability to sell into and split revenues with HotJobs.
Yahoo bought HotJobs $436 million in 2002.
Here's the release:
Monster Worldwide, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Yahoo! HotJobs, a leading online recruitment website, from Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO – News) for $225 million in cash. Monster and Yahoo! have also entered into a three year commercial traffic agreement, to take effect upon the closing of the acquisition, in which Monster will become Yahoo!'s provider of career and job content on the Yahoo! homepage in the United States and Canada. The traffic agreement calls for performance based annual payments calculated by clicks and expressions of interest, subject to annual floors and ceilings. In addition, the traffic agreement provides Monster with an exclusive right for a period of time following the closing of the acquisition to negotiate similar traffic agreements with Yahoo! properties on a global basis, including countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, subject to certain limitations.
"HotJobs with its significant customer base plus the traffic agreement are an ideal complement to Monster's innovative recruitment solutions and global reach," said Sal Iannuzzi, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Monster Worldwide. "These agreements, combined with Monster's career Communities and our recently introduced 6Sense™ semantic search technology, will bring substantial new benefits for employers seeking more qualified candidates and job seekers searching for more relevant opportunities across a wider range of industries – globally."
"Bringing together Monster and HotJobs creates even greater access and opportunities for both recruiters and job seekers," said Hilary Schneider, EVP, Yahoo!. "The transaction with Monster enables us to continue to provide an important service to our users through the traffic agreement. Yahoo! remains focused on its core businesses and delivering exceptional experiences to users, partners and advertisers."
Monster believes that the acquisition of HotJobs and the traffic agreement with Yahoo! will provide a number of benefits to jobseekers and employers, who today have more diverse competitive choices than ever before, and a value to all of its stakeholders, including its shareholders. These include:
Anticipated increase in job matches and search efficiencies – By bringing more diverse job and career opportunities, tools and resources together in one place, employers and job seekers will enjoy greater convenience and more precise search results and better matches with Monster's patented 6Sense™ search technology and other innovative products.
Expected expansion of job seeker pool for employers – Monster will be able to offer its employers a significantly larger pool of candidates across diverse geographies and industries. Based on Media Metrix comScore reporting, last year HotJobs averaged 12.6 million unique visitors per month.
Expected expansion of the number of job postings across industries for job seekers –Through the combination of Monster and HotJobs job postings, job seekers will have access to more job opportunities in one place in those industries currently leading job creation, including healthcare, finance and insurance, retail, manufacturing, information and wholesale trade.
Broader reach anticipated for recruitment advertising through additional media alliances and reseller agreement – With the addition of HotJobs's network of more than 600 daily and weekly newspapers, Monster's alliances with local papers will grow to a total of approximately 1,000, giving Monster reach in all 50 states. The additional newspaper alliances, through their online and print classified ads, will further Monster's current strategy of connecting job seekers with smaller, local businesses, particularly in healthcare, education, and skilled and hourly job categories.
Yahoo! will continue to manage its broader Newspaper Consortium (NPC) partnership, including providing both search and display advertising, content distribution, and its ad-serving platform, to newspapers in its NPC.
The transaction is subject to clearance under Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is currently expected to close sometime during the third quarter of 2010, subject to regulatory review. Monster expects to realise operating synergies from the acquisition and currently anticipates the transaction will be breakeven on a pro forma full year earnings in 2010 and accretive thereafter, inclusive of the costs incurred under the traffic agreement.
Stone Key Partners LLC and Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as financial advisors to Monster in connection with this transaction. Allen & Company LLC provided a fairness opinion to Monster's Board.

Yesterday, I was really missing for summer.
I wrote an article about some new rides coming to Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg and even thinking about rides and amusement parks made me yearn for hot temperatures and flip flops.
The new rides include a drop tower and a kiddie submarine – so I decided to look for videos of similar rides and pretend I was already on them, feeling the warm air in my hair.
So that you can share my enthusiasm, here's what I found.
And let me know – what are your favorite amusement park rides?
Here's a drop tower ride:
I couldn't find a video of the kiddie submarine ride, but I did find this cool POV video of the kiddie coaster at Knoebels:

That's the title of historian Gordon S. Wood's new history of the early republic, 1789-1815 -- 738 fascinating pages on a period so fuzzy and dull in my recollection that I almost didn't pick it up off the library shelf.
Having finished it, I'm glad I did pick it up. Not only does Wood understand the cast of characters, he understands what was happening. Textbooks and summaries portray this period in general, and the War of 1812 in particular, as a second war for independence. True as far as it goes, but false in the implication of a natural and foreseen unfolding.
This was a generation of surprises. From most of the Founders' point of view, the new country veered wildly out of control. Americans in 1815 were more commercial-minded, more egalitarian, and less willing to defer to their "betters" than any of the Founders were comfortable with.
The Revolutionary leaders....had an opportunity to realize an ideal world, to put the broadminded and tolerant principles of the Enlightenment into practice, to become a homogeneous, compassionate, and cosmopolitan people, and to create the kind of free and ordered society and illustrious culture that people since the Greeks and Romans had yearned for....
But little worked out quite as the founders expected.... their high-minded promise to end slavery and respect the rights of the native peoples were no match for the surging demographic forces accelerated by the Revolution. ...
The transformation Americans had experienced was unintended, for the character they celebrated in Andrew Jackson and the Hunters of Kentucky -- the romantic, undisciplined, and untutored heroes of the battle of New Orleans of 1815 -- was scarcely the character they had sought in 1789. The bumptious nationalism and the defiant abandonment of Europe expressed at the end of the War of 1812 were both repudiations of the enlightened and cosmopolitan ideals of the Revolution and attempts to come to terms with the largely unanticipated popular commercial society that had emerged from the Revolution.
Read it and discover a new aspect of your ancestors' world. And if you're looking for something about this period but a little more specialized, let his 13-page postscript bibliographical essay be your guide.

Asceticism is the practice of self-denial (i.e., control of one's passions and base impulses) for the sake of the Kingdom. The practice of asceticism - called ascesis - is most often associated exclusively with monasticism, although all the faithful are exhorted to practice lesser forms of ascesis through the Church's regimen of prayer, fasting, and repentance.
The word "ascetic" comes from the Greek root ἀσκητικός, which is turn is from the verb ἀσκέω, meaning "I train." The Apostle Paul likens the Christian life of prayer and repentance to training for various sporting events (1 Cor. 9:24-27; 2 Tim. 4:7). As such, the methods of ascesis should not be used as ends to themselves, but as means to the end of salvation, the "prize" which the Apostle mentions in First Corinthians.
Some forms of ascesis take a much more austere - even seemingly unhealthy - appearance than others, for instance Stylitism, in which the ascetic stands on a high pillar or tree for a prolonged period of time.
Suspicious of Pleasure?
Why is pleasure such a problematic issue in the Christian tradition?
The problem is about lust (the domination of the flesh) rather than pleasure per se. Pleasure itself is good, not a bad thing, but not something that should be an end in itself.
Not forgetting the natural connection between intercourse and procreation, it is only in marriage--a stable heterosexual bond marked by love and fidelity--that we can truly have intercourse that is for the good of the other person, as well as of any children who might be born.
Outside of marriage, sex is destructive. Desire for our own pleasure becomes a means by which we exploit others, defile ourselves by lust, and cause untold suffering to our children, should we have any (either by killing them, as in the case of abortion, or by raising them in a confused and chaotic situation). (I should also say that lust can destroy a marriage too.)
The effects of lust can be quite subtle, but in every case it is opposed to true 'love'. (Often when someone says 'I love you' they really only mean 'I lust after you'.) The motions of lust are self-centered and degrading to the full dignity of the human person.
This, then, is what is at the root of the Christian suspicion of 'pleasure.' Again, it is not 'feeling good' that is the issue, but the lust which disfigures.

Don Kingsley earns Business at its Best Award from Oneida Chamber of Commerce (video)
ONEIDA >> Kingsley Real Estate owner Don Kingsley earned the 2013 Business at its Best Award Wednesday at the Kallet Civic Center in Oneida.
The Greater Oneida Chamber of Commerce has awarded the Business at its Best for the past eight years to an area business for its extraordinary hard work and dedication and positive impact in the community.
WATCH IT NOW: Don Kingsley accepts Business at its Best Award.
After accepting the award, Kingsley, 78, told the crowd that he couldn't do what he does unless he had the backup of his family, friends and colleagues.
"Life is a team effort," he said.
"There were many worthy recipients," said Mike Healy, member of the award nomination committee for the chamber. "This is an important event for us."
Kingsley's grandfather and uncle opened the business in 1933, and Kingsley joined up in 1957 after graduating from Syracuse University. He eventually bought the firm in 1966.
He holds several designations in real estate: Certified residential sales, certified residential broker, and certified residential specialist. Kingsley has served as president of the Madison County Real Estate Board, and held several committee posts with the Greater Syracuse Association of Realtors.
He has been a member of the Oneida Rotary Club, a city councilman, served on the Madison County Board of Supervisors, and served on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors in the 1970s and most recently from 2009-2012.
Kingsley has also raised funds for the Oneida Area Arts Council and the Oneida City School District Foundation.
He said that although he could have gone into business anywhere, he has loved Oneida his entire life. At one time, he spent six months in North Carolina working as a real estate agent.
"I decided to come back," he said.
The two runners-up this year were Bailey, Haskell & LaLonde, and Kay Real Estate.

I need help locating a gifted Traer resident and author!
For most of forty years I've enjoyed owning a small chapbook titled "In Love", published in Traer in 1972, and given to me by an Iowan lass in 1976. "In Love" is a frolicsome poem about describing the euphoria of falling in love. And it is playfully illustrated in color with a happy-hippie feel, the guy with a long hair and beard, the girl with floating blonde hair and hippie-chick clothing. It captures perfectly those first few weeks or, if you were lucky, months of falling head over heels in love.
The book was published in 1972 by Sunshine Incorporated, address listed as Route One, Traer. The author is Scott Emerson Doser. The illustrator is listed as "The Blissburger". Co-signing an afterward to the poem is a Jeanne Marie Stoakes.
If you can guide me to either Doser or Stoakes, I would be very appreciative. Thank you so much.

Richard Heene — father of the infamous Balloon Boy — has apparently abandoned his internet wares and is now hawking the Heene Duty, which he describes as a "pick-up truck robot," at the Speciality Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. That's where one Jalopnik reader happened to bump into him and his sad display.
The "truck transformer" is apparently a top-heavy box on wheels with various functions that allow it to transport items from the back of a truck to another location. It features "Zoomer Technology" (Zoomer, of course, being the family dog and only Heene family member willing to still talk to Richard) and retails for $13,639 with a top-end price of $17,000 for the longest version.
How, exactly, this is a robot we may not know until it tries to kill one of his children on national television.
Our tipster says the booth at SEMA is "priceless" in that "it cost nothing." Also, Heene is apparently open to capitalizing on his Balloon Boy fame in pitching his product.
You can watch a spastic video of Richard Heene explaining the Heene Duty here. Oh how the never-mighty have fallen even further.

The smaller one would be way smaller, like maybe 60 x 60 miles. I think the big one would work better with lots of contributors. But I doubt we could get enough. So I think doing the smaller one would work better. It could be an intro sandbox.
I say middle of the road - "big" setting (big as in the original OS map size), but light text (maybe only detail a small portion of it and provide tables/ideas for the referee to flesh it out for him/herself). Rossi's original setting PDF is gold, so an inspired nod to that and the original OS game would be epic - and I think a huge win for SW:FMAG.

Akeem Black almost turned away from the love of his life — basketball.
Then the former Hurst L.D. Bell guard realized he would have to look in a mirror throughout the rest of his life. He wanted the man staring back to know he did everything he could to get the most out of the sport he loves so much.
"My freshman year [of college] I pretty much gave up on basketball. It was pretty much the darkest part of my life," said Black, who returned to Bell to help Henderson with the Blue Raiders' annual youth basketball camp.
"I was going to class. I have always taken that very serious, but I just couldn't play basketball."
Black became disillusioned after attending a showcase event for some colleges, an opportunity set up by Bell coach Willie Henderson. Suffice to say, his performance was less than he expected.
"He looked horrible," Henderson said. "It hit him hard. He sat out a year, got pudgy, got lazy."
But Henderson never gave up on Black. Nor did North Lake coach Tim McGraw.
"He could have just done school. He's very smart," McGraw said. "But he loves basketball. He plays with a passion.
"Every so often we get one of those stories where a kid just needs a year to clear their head. But he stayed in school, and that's the reason I called him back. I noticed his grades, and academically he's so far ahead of a lot of others. I knew he'd be a great addition to our team."
However, it took Black not giving up on himself for the transformation to take place.
"I knew I loved this game and I wanted to go to a big university," Black said. He didn't think he wanted to be at North Lake College.
Then, something clicked and Black decided he did want to play college ball at North Lake. He was a productive part of McGraw's Blazers (18-13), averaging around 10 points, two assists and two steals, helping them to a runner-up finish in the Metro Athletic Conference and NJCAA Region 5 Division III.
And it appears he has improved his chances of fulfilling his dream of playing in college at the NCAA Division I level.
"There's no reason he can't come in and have a great second year and go on to help a bigger school," McGraw said.
"Now I feel like what I went through was for the best. I'm happy with where I am," Black said.
"He came from a hard background. He had every excuse even before what happened with the showcase to quit, but he woke up and fought through."
Black is studying kinesiology in college and wants to coach someday. He said he has a strong message to deliver to youngsters, such as those he was working with at the camp.
"I enjoy working with kids, and I have a lot to say to them, to keep striving," he said. "I really take basketball seriously now that I know I almost lost it.
"If I had walked away without seeing how far I could go with it, what would I tell my kids. As long as I gave it everything I have, whatever happens in the future will be OK."

Every year, there's a handful of guys that are waiver wire whores and bounce back and forth between owners for spot starts. It's like the freshman co-ed dorm; you feel entitled if you're the first to have one of em riding your roster, but then you feel dirty if you claimed them next. Enter Jarrett Jack, who before settling into his probable NBA 6th Man Award role, got run off the bench, then a few starts, but never those solidified minutes. A shoulder injury a few weeks back had the last round of owners jumping ship, but since returning he's finally ready for a long term commitment. So what if he gave rival owners a little handsy here and rub-a-dub there? Time for everyone to lock him up Elizabeth Smart style.
Jarrett Jack – Always looks like he's sad to me. "Wahhhhhh, I'm Jarrett Jack" is one of my winning catch phrases. Yell at me if it gets annoying. Another ridiculous line of 23 Pts 5 Rebs 8 Asts and 5 3PM. He also led the Warriors with 19 shots in a 1-point win. Yeah, he's gonna be a beast down the stretch.
Dirk Nowitzki – Season highs in points (30), rebounds (13) and 3PM (4). Good to see the future hall-of-famer bring the fantasy goods. He's probably not gonna be the jaw-dropping Diggler he showed Sunday, so if you can sell-high, I wouldn't be afraid to drop his load on a rival owner.
Ricky Rubio – "The Spanish Quilt" had quite the yarn against the Warriors yesterday, with a stat line making the cholos proud with 16 Pts 8 Rebs 11 Asts and 6 Stls. Efficiency hasn't quite been there shooting from the floor (3-10 Sunday), but with double-digit assist in six of the last nine, he's been QBing the Wolves like a jefe.
Derrick Williams – Been yo-yo-ing in and out of favor, but is getting some solid run of late and continues to produce. In 38 mins yesterday, Williams had a very efficient 9/15 FG 5/5 FT 23 Pts 12 Rebs and 1 Blk. This marks 36+ minutes in three of the last four games, with an average of 18.3 Pts 10.3 Rbs 1 3pm 0.5 Blk with very respectable FG and FT percentages in those four. Getting close to a most own if you have some scrubs towards the end of your roster.
Dwyane Wade – Was hotter than peeing after a Thai-hooker excursion, going 14-18 from the field for 33 Pts Saturday night, then still solid Sunday night going 11-22 for 24 Pts. The Heat dismantled the terrible 76ers and gave Wade the rock against their poor defense.
LeBron James – Was 10/9/11 with about 4:00 minutes left in the third in the same game against Philly. This was an absolute snore-fest; kinda like watching the Oscars without mind-altering drugs. Take a hallucinogen during some of those performances and all the sudden it's like you're there and wondering how the hell Seth MacFarlane got the gig and throwing back the airplane bottle of whiskey he just threw at you…
Carlos Delfino – Everyone went gaga for the boring-est player on the Rockets when he put up 22 with 6 threes on Friday, then only gets 12 Pts all on 4 3PM (4-14 FG, 4-12 3PFG) in 35 minutes Saturday Night. As I said in my Buy/Sell, Thomas Robinson is gonna get tons of minutes and do a lot more than stand in a spot behind the three point line with a pail for his excrement.
Jeffery Taylor – An out-of-nowhere 33 minutes Saturday night with a rainbow line of 18 Pts 3 Rebs 2 Asts 2 Stls and 2 Blks. He can hit threes too. If he gets 30 minutes a night, he might be worth an add in deeper leagues as the Bobcats ownership cries to each other with the lack of consistent play from their team/turning 50.
Jeff Teague – Another solid line from Atlanta's young PG with 23 Pts 2 Rebs 9 Asts and 2 Stls. Nothing really out of the ordinary, but just want to mention early in my tenure that I'm gonna be all over this guy for next year. With Josh Smith going to be elsewhere, he's going to be even more a scorer and play some sick two man game with Al Horford.
J.J. Redick – 35 Mins 4-9 FG (1-3 3PM) 16 Pts 3 Rebs and 7 Asts in his debut for the Bucks. Good to know his stats didn't get some major shrinkage going from Orlando to Milwaukee.
Gordon Hayward – Went to the line 14 times and hit 13 of em Saturday night at the Clippers. Good to see someone take it to hole hard in L.A. I'm trademarking that for a movie title.
C.J. Miles – 5 3's last night off the bench, quietly putting up 9 in his past two games. If you need a spot start 3-point specialist, he might be a solid choice.
Isaiah Thomas – Followed up dropping 30 on Friday night with a line of 16 Pts 3 Rebs 5 Asts and 2 Stls at New Orleans. Not a huge line, but worth mentioning because he'll be a sleeper next year for me, pending anything drastic involving the Kings relocation. If they relocate to rural Mississippi, yea they might draw better attendance, but the roster could see an overhaul…
John Salmons – Had a career-high 6 3's last night and is looking absolutely sassy about it.
Jerryd Bayless – After a huge run in late January and early this month, put up an ultimate Schmohawk performance of 0-6 FG 0 Pts and 1 Ast (no other stats!) in 15 minutes last night. To think you were once on my team!
Brooklyn Nets – 72 points last night? Sheesh. 4 Rebounds in 26 minutes Brook Lopez? Had only one rebound in 23 minutes a few games ago. When your team can't score, if you can't rebound either it's trouble. If the Nets do anything in the playoffs besides keel over in a sweep, I'd be shocked.
Chicago Bulls – 72 points last night? Sheesh. Oh wait, I did this spiel before. Nate Robinson goes 2-14 from the floor. The Bulls need Rose more than fantasy owners.
Jrue Holiday – Put up 30 last night for the first time in a month. He's still playing well, just for an unbelievably disappointing team. Why does Evan Turner get double-digit shots a night? He hasn't shot 50% from the field since January 28th! I think Holiday will get back to that 20+ points every night range after a little scoring lull in the past 10.
Jeff Green – Follows up his redonkulous line on Friday night with 11 Pts 4 Rebs 0 Asts 1 Stl 0 Blks. As Will Smith would say, "Welcome to Earth!" Still played 31 minutes and has 30+ minutes in the past 5. Worth the add and still ahead of someone like Derrick Williams, but he's not going to be that rainbow line guy most nights.
Next Games: I'm off from highlight making tomorrow, but have the Cavs @ Bulls Tuesday. I will be live tweeting (@jbgilpin) while making the Yahoo player highlights. Let's hope the Bulls can muster more than 72!

Most mail servers are tight on resources. The Postfix system is designed to run within a finite memory budget. These limits are imposed on each and every user to avoid resource exhaustion. The idea is pretty simple, keep mail server running under conditions of stress, without making the problem worse.
However some time user sends large attachment and these are rejected by Postfix. The message_size_limit sets the maximal size of a postfix queue file, including envelope information (sender, recipient, etc.). The default is 10240000 bytes. You may see an error message in maillog file:
Sep 21 17:03:53 p5smtp22 postfix/postdrop[528]: warning: uid=2012: Illegal seek Sep 21 12:03:53 p5smtp22 postfix/sendmail[527]: fatal: reports(2012): queue file write error
Postfix version 2.3 or olders reports "illegal seek" instead of "file too large" error. There are two ways to fix this problem:
- First upgrade Postfix to latest stable version such as 2.5
- Set message_size_limit parameter
Set message_size_limit
Open /etc/postfix/main.cf config file:
# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
Set message_size_limit to 20971520 bytes (20 megabytes):
message_size_limit = 20971520
Restart postfix mail server:

The U.S. seed industry, through ASTA, has developed the Guide to Seed Quality Management Practices to offer general guidance for the development and production of seed products intended for food, feed, fiber or fuel use and for the maintenance of product integrity and purity of both biotechnology-derived seed and non-biotechnology seed. The Guide covers the plant product life cycle from the point of incorporation of a trait into a breeding program through commercial seed production and sale. The Guide to Seed Quality Management will be maintained in a dynamic and interactive format on the ASTA Web site.
The U.S. seed industry is committed to bringing quality seed to farmers around the world. The Guide is intended to serve as a reference document for companies developing individual quality management practices and operating procedures. Organized to accommodate different seed business models and practices, the Guide allows an organization to utilize the guidance for the respective areas in the seed product life cycle were they perform. A standard set of information following general quality management principles is presented for each stage of the plant product life cycle incorporated within the Guide. Quality management systems provide structure and rigor to business practices. Quality control and seed purity are essential to product development and commercial life cycle and include practices such as tracking mechanisms, effective record keeping, protocols for product testing and appropriate isolation during product development.
With high quality seed, farmers have more choices and the selection of seed is the single most important factor they can control in their operations. There is no substitute for quality seed. Today's seed offers improved genetics, with more solutions for farmers contained within the seed, providing increased yields, better quality crops and a higher return on a farmer's investment. "ASTA is pleased to have developed a tool for organizations to use in order to provide guidance on applying quality management systems to seed industry practices," said ASTA President and CEO Andy LaVigne. "As a first step, we hope that our members find this guidance valuable as they develop their own practices and procedures. Beyond that, the Guide can serve as a foundation for further guidance that may be specific to certain segments of the seed industry or even for our partner seed organizations around the world."
Dr. Wayne Guerke, a consultant in the seed industry who has held positions with the Georgia Department of Agriculture and worked closely with national seed testing organizations, was one of the first to see the Guide. He remarked, "The ASTA Seed Quality Management Guide is a most significant and invaluable contribution to the broader seed industry...or managing quality from the breeder to the grower, conditioner and dealer as well as the testing laboratory. The Guide will serve as an instrument to elevate the diverse elements of seed production and marketing...for maintaining high quality seed."
Founded in 1883, the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA), located in Alexandria, Va., is one of the oldest trade organizations in the United States. Its membership consists of approximately 750 companies involved in seed production and distribution, plant breeding, and related industries in North America. As an authority on plant germplasm, ASTA advocates science and policy issues of industry importance. Its mission is to enhance the development and free movement of quality seed worldwide.

Detailed Description:
HIV is associated with painful distal peripheral polyneuropathy in up to 35-50% of those
without AIDS and in more than 70% of those with advanced disease. The condition is
progressive but may be halted with disease remission. Disability is often significant.
Peripheral nerve axons and sensory neuron cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglia are the
principal targets of the process leading to symptoms. Alpha-lipoic acid occurs naturally in
every cell of the body. In high concentrations it acts as an anti-oxidant which regenerates
other anti-oxidants and promotes glutathione synthesis. Clinical studies for diabetic
neuropathy have shown significant benefit at daily oral doses that are well-tolerated.
This placebo-controlled study is designed to evaluate the effects of daily oral alpha-lipoic acid supplements (600mg, three times per/day) plus standard medical care in the treatment of painful HIV-associated neuropathy over a 24-week period in adult subjects. Possible benefits of the study include reduction in pain and disability, reduced use of medications, and enhanced cellular metabolism.
