HIV and Hepatitis C Co-Infection
Are you HIV positive and newly diagnosed with hepatitis C (Hep C)? Do you have one virus and think you might be infected with the other?
If so, this brochure answers some basic questions about living with both HIV and Hep C.
What is HIV and Hep C co-infection?
When people have HIV and another major infection such as Hep C, they are co-infected. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, killing the CD4+ cells that help the body fight off infection. Hep C is a virus that attacks the liver, and can cause liver damage (cirrhosis), liver failure and liver cancer. You might also hear the Hep C virus referred to as HCV.
How do I know if I'm co-infected?
If you have either HIV or Hep C, you are at risk for also having the other virus because both can enter your body the same way.
The only way to find out for sure if you are infected with HIV and Hep C is by being tested. Each virus is detected by a different test, so you need both an HIV test and a Hep C test.
You might be co-infected and not know it. Both are slow acting viruses. People can be infected for years with either virus without having any signs or symptoms of illness.
Why is HIV and Hep C co-infection a problem?
Being infected with both HIV and Hep C is a problem because each one is very hard on your body. When you are co-infected, each disease makes the other one worse. You can get sicker faster, and it is hard to treat both diseases at the same time. HIV can cause the Hep C virus to reproduce more quickly. People who are co-infected can develop liver damage and liver cancer more quickly than people who have only Hep C. Having HIV makes Hep C harder to treat because the immune system is weaker. Having Hep C also makes HIV harder to treat. Many of the medications used to treat HIV are processed by the liver. A liver badly damaged by Hep C cannot process drugs as well. Although generally safe, the risk of side effects with HIV medications may be slightly higher.
I have HIV. What are my treatment options for Hep C?
Your doctor will see how healthy your liver is by doing blood tests and other procedures such as an ultrasound or biopsy of your liver. You will then discuss Hep C treatment options based on the health of your liver, immune system and other factors. Together you will decide if treatment for Hep C is right for you at this time.
In co-infection, Hep C treatment is a combination of two antiviral drugs: ribavirin (Pegetron capsules or Copegus) and a long-lasting form of interferon called pegylated interferon (Pegetron or Pegasys). Both are taken for about one year. Once you start taking these medications, your doctor will monitor your blood regularly to see whether the drugs are working. If the level of Hep C virus in your blood has not fallen significantly after three months, your doctor will likely stop therapy.
How well you respond to treatment depends on many factors. Among the most important are the strain of Hep C you have and the extent of liver damage. Some strains are harder to treat than others. And the more extensive the liver damage, the poorer the response will probably be.
As well, people who have been co-infected with Hep C for many years generally do not do as well as people who are recently infected. Your age, weight and the amount of Hep C virus in your blood can also affect treatment success.
For information about your treatment options, check out the CATIE Fact Sheet on Pegetron and CATIE Fact Sheet on Pegasys.
Are there side effects to Hep C treatment?
Yes. Almost all people taking treatment for Hep C will experience side effects. Some common ones are:
- flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and/or muscle pain
- depression
- anemia
- irritability
Side effects often become less intense during the course of the treatment. And there are many ways to manage them. For example, you can reduce flu-like symptoms by taking over-the-counter medication the day of interferon treatment.
Depression is a very common side effect that deserves attention. About one out of every three people treated for Hep C can develop mental health problems, including depression. Because of this risk, if you have a history of serious mental health problems, or you are drinking alcohol or taking street drugs, you may not be ready for Hep C treatment right away.
Some doctors start their patients on medications to minimize the risk of depression a month before starting Hep C therapy. If you are using substances, you may want to talk to your doctor or nurse about how to quit drinking alcohol or get help for dependence on street drugs. These changes will make it easier to take treatment.
Because of side effects, some people are tempted to stop their Hep C treatment. But for the treatment to prescribed. If you experience bad side effects, you should talk to your doctor or nurse about ways to prevent or reduce them.
Are Hep C treatments safe during pregnancy?
No. The drugs used to treat Hep C can harm a fetus. Women who are pregnant or are thinking about having a baby should NOT use the drugs to treat Hep C during pregnancy or for at least six months before becoming pregnant. This is also true for the male partner of women who are or want to get pregnant. If you or your partner are pregnant or want to have a baby, talk to your doctor first.
Do Hep C treatments have any effect on HIV treatments?
They can. Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking so that he or she can be sure that they do not affect each other. Because of the interaction between medications for HIV and Hep C, some doctors prefer to treat one disease at a time.
Sometimes doctors treat Hep C first to limit the damage it may cause to the liver. When Hep C is treated early enough, it may be possible to get rid of all signs of the virus in the blood and reverse the damage to the liver.
Sometimes doctors choose to treat the HIV first to increase CD4+ cell counts and strengthen the immune system. People living with HIV who have CD4+ cell counts over 500 may respond better to the treatment for Hep C than those with lower CD4+ cell counts.
In some cases, doctors treat both HIV and Hep C at the same time. They will take extra care to ensure that the treatment for one disease is not making the other disease worse.
What can I do to protect my health?
If you think you might have been infected with HIV or Hep C, get tested. All treatments work better when you are diagnosed early, before the viruses have time to damage your immune system and/or your liver.
If you are co-infected with HIV and Hep C, protecting your liver is important. It's a vital organ in your body. It processes vitamins and minerals and filters your blood. Protecting your immune system is important too. It helps you fight off disease and stay healthy.
If you are infected with HIV, Hep C or both, here are some ways you can protect your liver and your immune system:
- Eat healthy, nutritious food.
- Get lots of sleep and exercise. If you cannot sleep for long periods, take naps.
- Avoid alcohol and street drugs. They can damage the liver.
- Drink lots of water.
- Quit or cut back on smoking.
- Be vaccinated to protect yourself from hepatitis A and B.
- Tell your doctor if you are taking any other drugs, including prescription and non-prescription medications, and complementary therapies. They may interact with your HIV or Hep C treatments.
- If you are considering herbs or supplements for your liver, talk to your doctor.
- Protect yourself from re-infection with HIV or Hep C.
What can I do to protect myself and others from HIV and Hep C?
In addition to protecting others, it is very important to reduce your chance of being re-infected with other strains of either virus. The more strains you have, the harder both diseases are to treat.
Both HIV and Hep C can pass from person to person. HIV spreads during unprotected sex and by using contaminated needles and other drug equipment. Hep C spreads mainly by using contaminated needles, straws, spoons and other drug equipment used to inject or snort drugs. Unprotected sex is another way to transmit Hep C, particularly among people with HIV. There is also a small risk that Hep C can be spread by unsafe tattooing and by sharing razors, scissors or toothbrushes.
To protect yourself and others:
- If you use drugs, do not share or re-use needles or other equipment. Cleaning equipment with bleach will kill HIV, but it may not stop Hep C.
- Practice safer sex. Use condoms.
- Do not donate blood, semen or organs.
- Practice safer tattooing. Do not re-use needles.
- Do not share razors or toothbrushes.
Want more information about HIV and Hep C co-infection?
Your doctor and other members of your health care team are good sources of information. They should be able to answer your questions about HIV and Hep C co-infection and your treatment options. You might want to use this brochure to start a discussion. For more detailed information, be sure to check out the CATIE Fact Sheet on Hepatitis C.

[Editor's note: Compare the state of the nation via an oddball set of statistics for when Bush took office and and Obama now in 2009. Thanks Laris!]
Republished from the Atlantic, January / February 2009.
By Timothy Lavin. Timothy Lavin is an Atlantic associate editor.
Then and Now. On March 4, 1933, Franklin Roosevelt addressed a crowd of 400,000 at his first inauguration. The past few years had seen a spectacular decline in the nation's fortunes, born of what he called the "mad chase of evanescent profits." Banks were failing, savings disappearing, real estate and commodities collapsing. Fascism was rising abroad. In response, Roosevelt pledged "a disciplined attack upon our common problems." He didn't get much more specific than that. And, really, he didn't have to. The people wanted change, in the current vernacular—or, more precisely, they wanted a government that could respond coherently to the profound changes that were already under way.
Barack Obama assumes the presidency this year amid a similar sense of national crisis, and having made similar promises of change. And, like Roosevelt, he'll be leading a country very different from the one his predecessor inherited: as the statistics on this map show, change itself is one thing we've seen in abundance in the past eight years. Making sense of that upheaval will be the first responsibility of the new administration.
Since 2000, America has changed in small ways, in big ways, and in ways that seem innocent enough now but no doubt herald some radical disruptions to come. Many more people are poor, uninsured, and in prison. Many more are billionaires. The burden of health-care costs has grown heavier, and so have we. We charge more, save less, and play a lot more video games. Even the things that haven't changed much—like the amount of oil we consume, or the price of cocaine, or the size of our military—reflect not so much stasis as unsustainable trajectories. For Obama, responding to these problems will require breaking deep national addictions—to oil, to etherealized finance, to profligacy of all kinds—and, somehow, easing the tremens along the way. Perhaps, in doing so, he should heed a warning Roosevelt issued on the campaign trail: "Without leadership alert and sensitive to change," he said, "we are bogged up or lose our way."

Pablo Alvarenga is one of the original residents of Cinquera, El Salvador. The town was destroyed during the countryís civil war from 1980-1992. After the war, Pablo and other families returned to rebuild their community. Pablo was one of the community leaders who welcomed CFCAís support in 1992.
Today, CFCA sponsors 500 children, youth and aging members in Cinquera. Pablo recently recounted the townís history and CFCAís role in its rebirth, for Henry Flores, director of the El Salvador communications center.
My name is Pablo Alvarenga Escobar, and I am native to the community of Cinquera. I work with Christian communities in Cinquera. My main focus is to strengthen the work of the small Christian communities, trying to bring them the Gospel of Jesus and the spirit that he wanted us to have.
My work as a catechist started in 1960, and I worked until 1979. On May 9, 1983, a huge attack by the armed forces against the rebel forces forced everybody to abandon their homes, belongings and Cinquera. To save their lives, many left for the mountains, leaving everything behind.
After the attack, this town stayed empty. We say it was a ghost town. A few days later, armed forces started to bomb the area and ground forces broke into the town and finished the destruction.
After Cinquera was destroyed and abandoned, nature started to cover the ruins of the houses. When we returned, Cinquera did not look like a town. You could not see anything. It was like looking at the forest.
The church was destroyed, except for the front walls and the bell tower. There were big trees inside the church property. We all agreed that we had to keep the remaining walls and bell tower. We knew that we were going to rebuild the church in the same place, and these ruins would be a sign of hope and a reminder of our history.
When we began rebuilding our lives here, we needed a way to call people for community gatherings. That is what church bells are for: to call the people to gather. But we did not have any bells.
Our people are creative, and some members of the community said that they had seen a 750-pound bomb that did not explode. They said, ìDon¥t worry. The rebel forces deactivated the bomb and made a new bomb that they used against the army, so it is inactive now.î
Many of us walked far to get to the place where the bomb was. Children, youth, men and women helped bring the heavy bomb. We carried it, we rolled it, we pushed it and we pulled it until we got it into town. We placed it in front of the church, standing it up for the sound to be better, and it worked. It sounded so loud!
Sometime after that, we found another bomb and later, one more. So this is why we now have three of them in front of the church.
At the end of the war, we had absolutely nothing. It was then when the solidarity of a man named Bob (CFCA President and Co-founder Bob Hentzen) came here. He used to walk around the town. He played the guitar and told us about CFCA. We all got excited. This was like a boat in the middle of the ocean for us.
The impact of the sponsored members and their families in the community is great, and this is because of the leadership behind CFCA here in town. CFCA has local staff working for the communityópeople who have a heart for the town, a love for others and a great sense of solidarity.
One of them is the CFCA social worker Blanca. She has been leading the families in different groups to clean the town.
This is why our town looks very nice.

The Inner Coma of Comet Hyakutake: Sunlight Scattered By Dust (left) and Ultraviolet Radiation From Hydrogen (right)
These are two images of the inner coma of Comet Hyakutake made on April 3 and 4, 1996, using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). The first one, shown in red, was taken through a narrow-band red filter that shows only sunlight scattered by dust particles in the inner coma of the comet. The second one, shown in blue, was taken with an ultraviolet "Woods" filter image that shows the distribution of scattered ultraviolet radiation from hydrogen atoms in the inner coma. The coma is the head or dusty-gas atmosphere of a comet. The square field of view is 14,000 km on a side and the Sun is toward the upper right corner of the image. Hydrogen atoms represent the most abundant gas in the whole coma of the comet. They are produced when solar ultraviolet light breaks up molecules of water, the major constituent of the nucleus of the comet. These images were taken as part of an observing program to study water photochemistry in comets. Measurements of hydrogen (H) and hydroxyl (OH) in the coma (or atmosphere) of Comet Hyakutake were also made using the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) and the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS). A self-consistent analysis of all the data shows that the water production rate of the comet was between 7 and 8 tons per second on the April 3 and 4. A theoretical model was used in the analysis, which accounts for the detailed physics and chemistry of the photochemical destruction of the water, the production of the H and OH, and their expansion in the coma (or atmosphere) of the comet. The model matched the velocity measurements of hydrogen atoms made using the high spectral resolution capabilities of the GHRS instrument. The importance of such a detailed model is that it permits the accurate calculation of the production rate of water from observations of H and OH.
The inner yellow region near the center of the red dust image is dominated by the contribution from the dust which shows sunward directed spiral jets toward the upper right, and the thin straight particle trail pointing toward the lower left. The trail was a permanent feature of the comet around the time of its close approach to the earth in late March and early April. Also barely visible just beyond the lower left end of the trail are two of the many condensations which were seen to travel slowly down the tail are are believed to be clumps of material released from the nucleus.
The inner white region of the blue image appears to show that the hydrogen atoms like the dust might be preferentially ejected toward the sunward or day side of the nucleus. However, this is not true. The asymmetric ultraviolet radiation pattern is produced by a roughly spherical distribution of hydrogen atoms because they are so efficient at scattering the incoming solar ultraviolet light. The atoms on the sunward side actually shadow the atoms on the tailward or night side of the coma. The same detailed model analysis of the coma which explains the expansion of the hydrogen atoms in the coma also explains the appearance of the image.
The team was lead by Michael Combi, The University of Michigan, and included Michael Brown, California Institute of Technology, Paul Feldman, Johns Hopkins University, H. Uwe Keller of the Max-Planck Institute, Lindau, Robert Meier of the Naval Research Laboratory, and William Smyth of Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc.

Looove the yellow dress! It would look amazing with emerald accessories, esp a necklace. I think I'm going to add yellow dress on my wish list in addition to a yellow blazer. Ps. Congrats on the upcoming anniversary of TEG. :)ReplyDelete
I'd go with the pink clutch for a pop of color! Plus this could be a great little outfit for Valentine's Day. I think it would be fun to wear something a little less traditional (i.e., not white, pink or red)!ReplyDelete

The Dargers main claim to fame is that the HBO series Big Love was based on their family. Well, sort of based, being that Bill Henrickson wasn't married to twin sisters and their 'distant' cousin. And Bill did unknowingly marry an underage Margene Heffron, but that's for another discussion.
Anyway, the Dargers live in Utah, in a huge house that is home to 4 adults and 23 children. And get this, the sister wives only have one kitchen...imagine that! No abuses there!
While the Dargers are on the road, Kody is busily driving his MLMobile from one sister wife's house to the other, trying to finalize those pesty building options important to each wife for their McMansions. Christine wants each of her 6 children to have their own room. She's going for the gusto - or as she says "going big or going home." I'm presuming the 'home' she's referring to is the one in Lehi.
Janelle, on the other hand, wants to save costs by only having 3 bedrooms upstairs for the children in her McMansion. An extra bedroom would only add "a lot of money" and her children do not need their own bedrooms. So if Hunter has his own room (inherited when Logan left for the dorm) and Gabe and Garrison both share a room that leaves Savanah to share with Maddie. And Maddie was so looking forward to having her own room, too. Kody is not impressed with Janelle's frugality, because he wants Logan to still have his own room when he visits. Call me silly, but it seems it hasn't occurred to Kody that Logan could pitch a tent in one of the extra unused bedrooms at Meri's McMansion.
Finally, at Meri's house, Meri again states how important that damn wetbar is to her. She then trys to joke about adding a tennis court for Mariah. Earth to Meri - there's barely room in the backyard for a pool! But Kody knows Meri is just kidding...I think.
Leave it to the Kody and Meri to create a new word to describe their upcoming road trip with the Dargers. "It's a plyg vacation" says Kody. "It's a plyg-cation" corrects Meri. Only Janelle laughs. Robyn hides her face with her hands, while Christine looks like she has failed to see the humor. As the Browns wait for the Dargers to show up, Christine educates us that they have been friends with the Dargers for a long time, that they are not AUB, but are independent polygamists, and that there will be almost 50 people on this road trip. Meri seems more concerned that she will have almost 50 people for dinner in a few minutes. And Kody seems to have honed in on the fact Papa Joe has married two sisters, and that Val, like Robyn, brought her children from her first marriage to the new marriage.
And once again, Papa Joe showed off his planning and organizational skills by making short work of assigning the Browns' party of 22 to their respective beds. Now which way is better, Kody's rock/paper/scissors method of assigning rooms or Papa Joe's getting online, pulling up the condo's floorplan, and assigning rooms accordingly - something I bet Papa Joe did days earlier for his own crew. Christine was definitely impressed (again)... "It was the fastest decision-making ever!" she exclaimed, while snapping her fingers for emphasis.
And if that wasn't enough, the Dargers tend to have a lot of PDA - Public Displays of Affection.
As the Darger Wives explain it, they decided early in their marriages to allow Joe to kiss and hug them in front of each other. They wanted their relationships to be more 'natural' that way.
Say whut?
You've got a situation where a man is married to twin sisters and their cousin, and Joe is openly affectionate to each one in front of each other.
That's natural???? Geez Louise!!
Not to mention that Joe can only be affectionate to two women at one time! That's the way the human brain has been wired. You can only do two things at once, like adding a set of numbers, for instance. One woman will always be on the outside looking in. So it doesn't really matter how the Darger Wives try to rationalize this situation, it's not fair and certainly a bit skeevy. Wife Val just doesn't understand how Kody is affectionate with his wives only when it's her day. She says this while she's holding on (for dear life it seems) to Joe's left arm, while her twin Vicki is holding on to his right arm. Poor Alina is left to sit off to the side. And this is normal? No wonder the Darger Wives are referred as being like Stepford Wives. Four guesses who decided that PDA was okay, and the first three guesses don't count.
All Kody says is that in theory (meaning the Darger's world) it may work, but in his family, it doesn't.
Translation: Meri would NEVER in a million years allow it to happen. NEVER! But on the positive side, since Kody has 4 wives, the outsider two wives can have each other for company...hmmmm.....
Kody on the other hand has not lived very long in a polygamous setting. He didn't grow up having multiple mothers. The only person who would have the same depth of generations with the Dargers is Christine...the wife Kody barely can stand. This lack of experience explains why Kody's family seems so chaotic when compared to the Dargers. Kody may talk a good game, but it's all talk. He doesn't have a clue how to manage a large family, and doesn't care to learn. Where Joe is preparing for eternity, Kody doesn't even prepare for the present. Kody is into being the center of attention, of being a showman, of having more wives than he can handle and more children than he can afford. Kody doesn't want a house, he wants a mansion. If Kody can't get a mansion, he'll settle for four McMansions. It simply isn't about faith with Kody. It's about wealth and seeing how many material items, wives, children and cars he can collect along the way.
And Kody, getting four McMansions costing almost two MILLION dollars does not mean you're planning for the future. Like Papa Joe said earlier, sometimes you got to learn how to walk before you can run.

Coudray examine the different types of imagesetters and offers advice for getting consistent, high-quality output.
Obtaining accurate color and image reproduction with screen printing requires careful translation of image information at each step of the design and production process. Today's original artwork is most often created in a digital environment, imaged digitally to film (or similar materials), transferred in an analog manner to the screen, and reproduced onto the final substrate by an analog printing press. For the process to work, the materials and methods used to carry and transfer the image must be stable, predictable, and capable of passing along all of the image information as the image undergoes the digital-to-analog translation.
Each step represents a single translation, bringing with it the potential for gain or loss of image quality. By far, the most common situation is image-quality loss. This month, we'll look at the issues to consider in order to avoid this problem.
Types of imagesetters
Four primary types of digitally imaged film positives are used today. The first group is toner based. Positives created in this manner usually take the form of vellum or polyester substrates imaged on high-resolution laser printers. Image quality on the film is typically enhanced with a separate processing system or solvent-based aerosol fusing agent.
The second type of positive is thermal film. This involves a special polyester-based film that becomes opaque to UV light wherever it's exposed to heat from the thermal imagesetter's heated nibs or lasers.
The third option, which is gaining in popularity, is polyester film imaged with a high-resolution inkjet printer. For this approach, special high-density opaque inks are applied to treated polyester film to create the positive image.
The fourth type of film imaging uses conventional, silver-based, photographic films exposed on high-end digital imagesetters. The resulting films can be used straight from the imagesetter to expose screens or enlarged through a projection system for large-format applications. Because silver-based materials require chemical development after the materials are exposed and reclaiming of metallic silver from the waste stream, their popularity is in decline. Nevertheless, photographic systems offer the best film positives available.
The suitability of any particular film-imaging system depends on a job's resolution and printing requirements. What might be a minimum tolerance for a CD printer would likely be overkill for a textile printer. What may work for a textile printer doing spot colors would be unsatisfactory for process color. Let's look at the capabilities and limitations of the common systems.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - No. 16 UC Santa Barbara used a pair of goals scored within 12 seconds of each other to topple visiting Sacramento State – which was previously unbeaten in Big West Conference play – on Tuesday night at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.
Freshman Ema Boateng scored just 7:22 into the match and senior Nic Ryan scored a mere 12 seconds after the clock restarted to give the Gauchos a 2-0 lead early on.
With the win, the Gauchos snap a two-game losing skid and concurrently snap the Hornets' streak of six-straight games without a loss. UCSB improves to 9-2-3 on the season and 3-2-1 in league games. Sacramento State, which remains in first place in the Big West standings, falls to 7-5-2 overall and 4-1-1 in conference play.
While the Big West's North Division standings remain unchanged after tonight's games, both UCSB and Cal Poly have tightened the race with wins, bringing their point totals to 10 each. The Gauchos and Mustangs trail second-place UC Davis by just two points and first-place Sacramento State by three.
The Gauchos, who had been held scoreless through their previous two matches, did not wait long to bring their 180-minute scoring drought to an end.
In the eighth minute, senior Machael David passed the ball from midfield to Boateng on the right side. Boateng cut in and fired a rocket from about 30-yards out into the top left corner of the Hornets' goal to put UCSB up, 1-0.
The goal marked the Santa Barbara's first in the opening 45 minutes of a match since its Sept. 28 win at UC Riverside; that first half goal was also scored by Boateng. The eighth-minute goal is also the Gauchos' quickest goal of the season and the first scored in the opening 10 minutes of a match this year.
Before the Gaucho fans had even stopped applauding Boateng's fourth goal of the season, UCSB struck again. This time, senior Peter McGlynn dribbled the ball down the touchline on the right side before sending it towards Josue Madueno in the box. The ball was deflected by a Hornet defender and landed directly in front of Ryan, who was wide open at the top of the six-yard box. The senior left footed the ball into the left side of the goal for his team-leading seventh strike of the season.
UCSB was dominant throughout the remainder of the match and ended with a 23-8 advantage in shots and an 8-3 lead in shots on-goal. UCSB also had six corner kicks while the Hornets had none.
Goffin Boyoko led all players with five shots while Dion Acoff had a match-best three on-frame.
Defensively, UCSB limited the Hornets to just one shot in the first half. Goalkeeper Austin Mansker made three saves in his fifth shutout of the season.
UCSB will continue Big West action on Friday, Oct. 19 when it hosts Cal Poly in a FOX Soccer televised contest at 8 p.m. at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. Gates will open at 6:30 p.m. in anticipation of a large crowd.

I am looking for advice. My Dad spent 40 years collecting Canadian Coins. It is a very complete collection. He was very proud of it and I want to be sure that I take as much care in deciding when and where to offer it for sale. We did speak about selling the collection, since I collect art glass, gas lighting, flamework animals....... not coins.
Dad told me that the Society has an annual auction at the convention and that might be the place to offer the collection. I wrote a few years ago to ask about doing so but I did not receive an answer.
I know there is really no reason at all for any one here to help me. I have gone through the whole collection and do have a value for each piece. I did my best to err on the side of caution concerning condition so I am not shooting for the moon. I just want to do all I can to realise a good price for my father's collection. He would not be pleased if I didn't do this properly and consequently neither would I.
Thank you in advance for reading this plea. Any assistance you would care to give me will be appreciated.
Advice please, about best place to sell Canadian Collection

I am very sorry to say that the 12 year old female cavalier that was in the pound had to be pts this morning as she was very ill during the night. Fortunately someone again had intervened enabling this dog to get out, and the dog was at least, not in the pound and suffering but inside a home and fed well. She may well have been surrendered due to illness as the real reason. :mad:

See Miley Cyrus' Wild + Elaborate $5,000 Bangerz Cake [PHOTO]
Let's be real: The fact that Miley Cyrus celebrated the Bangerz Tour with an over-the-top, emoticon-emblazoned $5,000 multi-tiered cake in Miami is just another day in the life of the 'Wrecking Ball' singer. That being said, this is one ornate (and expensive!) piece of pastry. Let us break it down for you.
First, the cake is five (count 'em, five) layers of Bangerz-themed goodness. Next to the base of the cake, there is a fondant hot dog (similar to the one Cyrus performs with onstage), and a giant fondant teddy bear that is almost the same height as the cake itself. The stuffed animal treat is not only airbrushed to perfection, it's also rocking a gold necklace and gold metal studs on its shoes. And we haven't even gotten to the actual cake yet!
The layers of the cake alternate between cotton candy-like colors with black squiggly trees to black-and-gold airbrushed layers. Each layer also rocks an array of ornate decorations, including a giant finger (obviously reminiscent of Cyrus' VMAs performance with Robin Thicke), lips with tongues sticking out, several artworks of Cyrus herself and even an edible sad kitty emoticon that Cyrus recently tatted on the inside of her lip.
The cake reportedly cost $5,000 and Cyrus and her crew took it out in Miami to celebrate after the Bangerz Tour stop in the city over the weekend.

At the Chicago Art Institute, April 4th- 1-5 pm there will be a symposium entitled Yousuf Karsh and the Art of Photographic Portraiture. It will be held in conjunction with the exhibition Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes
From the website:
Great photographic portraitists produce images in which a reflection of their own temperament is just as influential as how the camera records the physical appearance of their sitters. Further, the reason why a portrait is made affects the approach taken by the photographer. When the subject is the photographer's client, the sitter expects to be pleased; when the portrait is commissioned for editorial purposes, the sitter may have little say in how the portrait is made or distributed. Likewise, when portraits are made as part of a personal effort to document a social situation, the photographer is in sole control of the meaning he or she intends for the portrait. Four experts in the field will discuss these issues in sympathy and in contrast to the exhibition Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes, which celebrates the centenary of the birth of Yousuf Karsh in Galleries 1–4.
Jerry Fielder, Director and Curator of the Estate of Yousuf Karsh will discuss his personal, 25-year association with Karsh.
Colin Westerbeck, Director of the California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside will discuss the work of Irving Penn and Richard Avedon as editorial portraitists for Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and other magazines.
David Travis, former Chair and Curator of the Department of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago will discuss why Yousuf Karsh may be the last of his kind.
Dawoud Bey, photographer and professor of photography at Columbia College Chicago will discuss his own work as a portrait photographer and documentarian.

Lawrence commission approves Rock Chalk recreation center project
Lawrence city commissioners have given final approval to a proposal to build recreation center in northwest Lawrence.
The proposed $25 million recreation center will include gyms, an indoor turf field and other amenities as part of the Rock Chalk Park project. The city is spending $22.5 million on the project, which is part of a partnership between the city, a Kansas University Endowment entity and a private developer.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports a revised development agreement requires the commission to meet monthly to review infrastructure costs and clarifies that some fees for the project are exempt from a 2.5 percent management fee charged by the private developer.
The recreation center will be next to a larger project that will include privately owned athletic facilities for the University of Kansas.

Last month, Chris Lattner at Apple announced support for closures in C for Clang, the llvm-based C compiler Apple has been working on as a potential replacement for the venerable gcc. Because Apple is working on this extension, it means that closures are coming to both C and Objective-C.
This is a sorely needed feature C has been missing for quite a number of years. The need may not have been pressing two decades ago, in the era of smaller programs on early 32-bit CPUs with kilobytes or maybe a couple of megabytes of RAM. But those days are long behind us, and constructing programs without closures feels clunky, cumbersome, and a throwback to the era of 8-bit home "computers" running some quirky BASIC dialect.
Nearly every major general purpose programming language in use today supports closures or soon will. There are a few exceptions, like PHP, Tcl, Cobol and Fortran that don't have them, and it's debatable whether these languages are either "major", or will get closures "soon". (Update: PHP 5.3 has/will have closures. See below.)
C# has them, and has made them easier to use in the most recent version the language by providing lambda expressions. Java is likely to get them, and the BGGA proposal looks pretty strong. And even if these languages didn't, F# (which is basically OCaml by another name) and Scala are merging the functional and object oriented disciplines on the CLR and JVM, bringing features like closures and currying to these platforms.
The only major language that doesn't have closures is C, and thanks to Chris Lattner and the llvm team, this is changing. Hopefully their changes will be accepted widely, and this feature will be added to the next C standardization.
Adding closures to C introduces exposes a few leaky abstractions, though. Local variables in C (including parameter values) live on the stack, which doesn't do much good if a closure doesn't live long enough to be invoked. Therefore, this change adds a few new features that allow closures to be copied to the heap (via persistent = _Block_copy(stack_closure)), reference counted while on the heap, and freed when no longer in use (via _Block_release(persistent)). There are a few other wrinkles, and the usage is slightly cumbersome, but, well, it's C, and you should be used to that by now.
However, the implications of this change are much more profound.
Adding closures to C is tantamount to saying it is unacceptable for a general purpose programming language to omit support for closures. All of the old arguments for withholding them are now void: it can be done in a compiled language. It can be done without using a virtual machine. It can be done in a mainstream language. Closures are useful beyond the functional ghetto where the started (and offering just pointers to functions simply doesn't cut it).
If closures are available in C, one of the oldest and most widely used languages without closures, what's your excuse for not providing them in your pet language? It may be hard to do, but the techniques are proven, well known, and open for inspection. The utility of providing programmers with the means to use idioms like map, filter and fold (or reduce) is too overwhelming to claim it's not worth the time, cost or complexity to implement.
The writing is on the wall. If you intend to develop software in the 21st century, you will be using closures, or going to great lengths to avoid them.
This may sound like a bold statement, but it really isn't. Programming languages have co-evolved in fits and starts for decades. Some feature, like recursion, proves itself in academia, but is wildly regarded as unnecessary in industry. Slowly, industry adapts, and that feature becomes a necessity in all future programming languages.
Recursion may sound like an esoteric feature to require in a programming language. After all, it's not something that you expect to use every day. But what about lexical scoping? Believe it or not, block scoped variables weren't standard practice until the mid-1980s or so; having only global variables or dynamically scoped variables was once deemed "sufficient" until the consensus formed around lexical scoping as simply the right way to do it. A similar history surrounds object oriented programming, and garbage collection.
What's next? Who knows. The jury is still out on static vs. dynamic programming environments, live code vs. dead code, metaprogramming, macros, virtual machines vs. native compilation, type inferencing, strong static typing, prototypes vs. metaclasses, and a dozen other features where languages differ. Closures, at least, are on their way to becoming a required feature for every important programming language.

Emma Watsons The Colony Takes Embarrassing $60 At Box Office
Emma Watson's new movie reportedly made just $60 (£47) at the U.K. box office in its opening weekend.
The Colony, a thriller set in Chile during the era of murderous dictator General Pinochet, is Emma's first dramatic lead role post Harry Potter - the movie franchise which propelled the British actress to superstardom.
Emma stars as a woman attempting to rescue her husband (Daniel Bruhl) from a cult, Colonia Dignidad. In real-life, the religious community was founded by Wehrmacht officer and Hitler Youth veteran Paul Schafer.
The Jeff Renfroe helmed movie was released in just three U.K. cinemas on Friday, as well as being made available to stream through video on demand.
The weighty film, which received lukewarm reviews, premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2015 and opened under the name Colonia in 27 U.S. theatres in April. It took just $15,709 (£12,152) during its run, according to Forbes.com
This is not Emma's first box office disappointment of the year. In May, Regression, in which she co-starred alongside Ethan Hawke, made $55,039 (£42,576) at the domestic box office but fared better in the U.K. with takings of $329,167 (£254,635) in the U.K.
Emma will next be seen as Belle in Bill Condon's big-budget, live action re-working of Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, which is set for release in March 2017.
