Thermometers for Child Care & Schools
How do you tell if someone has a fever? Back of the hand pressed up against their forehead? While having a fever is a common part of life, and it serves a vital function helping to kill the viruses in the body, it is important to know how high your fever is. This is especially true with small children and anyone with a strained immune system. Get an accurate reading every time with a new digital thermometer.
Digital thermometers come in a few different varieties. Some digital thermometers look similar to the old glass versions. It is placed under the tongue and provides a digital reading after a few minutes. This inexpensive option is perfect for adults and older children.
If you have infants or younger children, having them sit for a couple minutes with something under their tongue, especially when they aren't feeling well, just isn't realistic. Some digital thermometers are able to measure temperatures quickly, just by placing the device on the forehead or in the ear. You just have to get your little one to stop wiggling for a few seconds, rather than several minutes. And the results you receive will be highly accurate.
Believe it or not, you can even get a thermometer that takes temperatures without having to touch your child at all! A non-contact thermometer allows you to get an accurate temperature reading by just pointing the device. Taking a sleeping baby's temperature has never been so easy.
Be prepared for the next time someone gets sick with a digital thermometer from Sam's Club. You'll find great deals and affordable prices.

Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Welcome to the 6th version of this version of the Snape thread. :yuhup:
Introductory information: Snape is a very controversial character and a lot of fans have very passionate opinions about him, which they are ready to defend at all costs. Unfortunately, this often makes the discussion less than amiable and we had to close Snape threads in the past and turn Legilimency Studies into a HOT ZONE. So fair warning, post according to our guidelines and rules, or go on a very long holiday from the forum. Be advised, this is not an empty threat, this is being enforced!
There is no doubt Snape is a very complex character. He's an awful figure to many, a cruel and vindictive individual without a shred of decency or humanity. To others he's a tragic hero, complicated by a love he couldn't openly express and mourning the loss of his opportunities.
The focus of the reboot threads is going to be on making sure the Snape thread can stay open, as we deal with individuals in the way our new Hot Zone policy dictates & outlines below.
Study Questions
Everyone who chooses to post in this thread should read these guidelines beforehand and be aware of the Hot Zone Policy:

Snape vs. Marauders rule
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
I have a question that's been buzzing around in my head since posting on the Pettigrew thread a few days ago (well, several questions, actually):
There only seem to be three students that Severus really seemed to single out for "attention," Harry, Hermione, and Neville.
We know why he bullied Harry -- because he physically looked like James and Severus couldn't put that past behind him and see Harry as a separate person (IMO). But, I keep wondering, why Neville and Hermione?
While posting on the Pettigrew thread we were discussing some parallels and differences in Wormtail and Neville. I've been wondering since then: Did Neville remind Severus of a young Pettigrew? Was Peter the same clumsy, inept student in his first year(s) at Hogwarts, until the Marauders took him under their wings and started tutoring him? Was Severus lashing out at Neville because of this reminder, or was he trying to "toughen him up" so that he wouldn't repeat Pettigrew's mistakes of blindly following someone he thought could protect him?
As for Hermione, she was brilliant. But she was "book smart" and afraid to take chances. Did Severus see in her the potential to be really good if she'd stop being an "insufferable know-it-all" and expand on her book knowledge -- relaxing her tendency to strictly adhere to that knowledge? Did he see a bit of himself in her, and recognizing her abilities, want her to be writing notes in the margins of her own Potions book rather than just following it along?
In CoS, he had to know that someone was mixing polyjuice potion, the stuff was missing and someone had to be using it. Did he suspect Hermione, and the reason he never confronted her or any of the trio was that he was glad to see her putting her talents to use? I'm sure he mixed the potion to change her back from part cat and there were no repercussions from that. I wonder if he just shut up about it and was pleased that she had tried something "out of bounds"?
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
After reading DH, to what extent do you think is Snape responsible for what happened to the Potters?
Partially. Voldemort would have found someone else to tell him the prophesy, so it wasn't as though Snape was the only way
Do you think Snape's character development arc is complete?
No... there is so much more I would like tlearn about him. Who was he on his free time? What was he like with his colleagues? Did anything make him happy?
To what extent are Snape's parents to blame for his later choices and to what extent are they his own responsibility?
I think his parents and school bulllies are largley to blame. Having spent his life degraded and ridiculed, Snape sought a position of power and fear-based respect. It wasn't the right decision to make, but I believe his character was very much tarnished by his upbringing.
Do you think Snape would have moved on if Lily had not died? Would he have turned to the good side in that case?
When we see the extent Voldemort goes to for dominance, I think Snape might have startd to pull back. IHe became a DE mostly out of anger and want of power and revenge, but I don't believe being a DE ran deep through his veins like Voldemort or Bella. I doubt, thoug, that he would have ever have moved on.
Why do you think Snape was so reluctant to approach Lily? Would he have been interested in her if she had not been magical?
I think, like any awkward pre-pubescent boy, Snape was reluctant to approach a confident, beautiful girl. I think he was already falling in love with someone who was a mudblood, so I don't see her being a muggle changing much. He fell in love with Lily, not her magic.
How would Snape's life have been different if he had managed to save their friendship?
I'd like to think that Lily would see him in a different light, and perhaps fall in love with him. I believe he would have been a kinder teacher and not so dark and brooding. I'd be interested to see what a happy Snape was like...
Snape is revealed to have been acting throughout the series out of love for Lily, how does this effect your view of his actions in the series - his "murder" of Dumbledore, his treatment of Sirius?
A true testimony of bravery. I don't know many men that would devote their lives to the cause and redemption as he did. His treatment of Sirius was what I expected, and vis versa. They hated eachother, and adulthood didn't change that.
How do the revelations of DH impact your view of Snape's treatment of Harry and Neville throughout the series?
His treatment of Neville was pure frusteration and lack of ability to give constructive criticism. As for Harry, not only was he a constant reminder of James, he was also the product of Lily and Jame's love. Harry living is what Lily died for too, so I imagine there was alot of resentment there, even if Harry didn't deserve it.
Do you think he wanted or needed Harry's forgiveness on some level?
Yes. I think he'd devoted his life to protecting Harry, and Snape wanted him to know this. I think he was sorry he had somehwat led Voldemort on the path to Harry's parents as well.
Which elements do you think make Snape the most controversial character of the series?
His extremes. We see him as a pretty cold, sometimes verbally cruel teacher, and we know he's had a dark past. Then we see his deep, eternal love for Lily, and the lengths he goes to to protect her son. He is the deepest shade of grey.
What do you think are Snape's major strengths? What are his major flaws?
His bravery, capacity for love, self sacrafice and his friendship with Dumbledore. His weaknesses would be letting others treatment of him innfluence the decisions he made (the bad path he went down), and his treatment of some of his students.
What do you reckon Snape valued most in life
Love. He just wasn't on the recieving end of it.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
As for the Pettigrew reminiscence in Snape's eyes - I don't recall now if Pettigrew was particularly awkward/clumsy as student, but maybe there was the fact that both Gryffindors were 'ragtagging' the more popular ones (in his eyes). I don't think that the Peter reminiscence was the main reason why Snape singled Neville out, though.
I definitely don't think he acted out of any noble sentiments towards anyone in the Trio. I'd go as far as to say that my impression of Snape was that he wanted quiet, obedient and studious students, but not such brilliant ones who would present a challenge to himself or be better than him in a subject he excelled in (Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts). He doesn't seem to me to be the type to wish them success, and Hermione's endeavours seem to me to be triggering a need in him to show everyone who the best expert in the class is (himself). Even at the cost of bringing the person down with nasty remarks. Feeling 'threatened' by a (pre-)teenager is not a mature thing to do, but then, Snape is not a very mature person, mostly.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Secondly there is a vast difference between parrotting from a book and parrotting a teachers directions both in real life and in Harry Potter. We know that while he was still a student Snape was improving the potions recipes as they were in the book, and this highlights the difference. A teacher who expects children to parrot the book - as Umbridge did - does not put any effort into the preparation of the lesson nor expects the pupils to learn anything outside the text of the book concerned. In many ways a teacher who parrot from a book is nothing more than a glorified child minder. A teacher who expects the children to parrot his instructions is teaching the children to make potions accurately using the best recipe available. My son is currently doing Food tech and brings home a list of ingredients he needs each week from the recipe which the teacher has supplied rather than it being from a book and I see Snape's teaching of potins in a similar way. If the children try to do things there own way things are not going to turn out particularly well in both potions and food tech. though mistakes seem to be somewhat more dangerous in potions. So I do not see it as a bad thing that Snape insists that the students do things the way he dictates in his class. The homework that Snape set however shows that he wanted his pupils to understand the effect that different ingredients had in potions, and so have a wider knowledge of what was going on in the cauldron and why certain ingredients were used. As such I do not think that Snape taught by rote.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
But my point wasn't Follow Directions Bad! Break Directions Good! Or even Rote Bad! Experiment Good! Just that I don't see him encouraging exploration or experimentation, thus the idea that he was trying to break Hermione of rigidityas as put forth by MinervasCat seems out there to me when it appears to me that what he wanted was rigidity from his students, as long as it was adhering to his way of doing things. Hermione may have sounded like she swallowed the textbook, but I think she also demonstrated that she understood what she read. I think she just wasn't good at rewriting the information into another form like some teachers like students to do to prove that they understood. Instead, I think she could prove she understood what she was spouting by her ability to practically apply her book knowledge. I think Snape was irritated when people he didn't like knew things, and irritated when they didn't know things. I think that if he had taken a dislike to Hermione, it really didn't matter what kind of student she was, he was going to treat her however he wanted.
I certainly hope he was better than the likes of Umbridge! I do not set the bar for acceptable teacher behavior or competence so low.
I rather think that Snape "decided" what some child was like, and then treated them that way without regard to evidence in support or contrary. I see it with Harry, and Snape's belief that Harry was always the ringleader for troublemaking whether or not he really was. So I can see Snape deciding that Hermione was some unsufferable know-it-all for daring to try to answer his questions in the first class and interfering with his singling out of Harry, and deciding to forevermore treat her accordingly to get back at here. I think that's one thing about Snape, once he decides on a path, it is hard to shake him from his intended goal.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
We do know that Pettigrew was not the most talented of students as it took Sirius and James sometime to teach him Animagus transformation even though he was in his Fifth Year. This is what leads me to believe he is way below average in his abilities, not just average or a bit below it, as he would have caught on quicker. Neville learned to cast a corporeal Patronus in his Fifth Year, which was very advanced magic, as well. I see this as another parallel/comparison by Ms. Rowling.
As a class member, Severus saw Pettigrew throw his lot in with the Marauders, who offered him protection. (Then, later he turned on them and joined Voldemort, IMO, for the same reason, IMO, -- protection. (But, Severus wouldn't have known that until after PoA.) I just wondered if he saw Neville becoming part of the Harry/Ron/(and a bit later) Hermione group and would just become a follower, as Pettigrew seems to have done. Did he want Neville to succeed on his own, which is why he discouraged Hermione from helping him?
As for the "no difference" scene: there is debate as to whether he meant Hermione's teeth or that she and Crabbe or Goyle (they're almost interchangable) had both cast hexes at each other an both had suffered from the others' hex.
Severus did not teach from the book, but from his own lessons. As we see in HBP, he'd taken the book and improved on procedures and instructions. This is what he was handing down to his students, not just "book learning." I think he expected them to move on with that. Look at what the Weasley twins did. All of their jokes and "skivving snack boxes" and such were mostly things they'd learned in Potions and elaborated on.
And, as far as being pains in the neck in class, I'd think if anyone would have had Severus' wrath come down on them or would have had anything bad to say about him it would have been them. I can just imagine what some of their Potions lessons were like.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
In regards to why Snape treated Neville in the awful manner he did, maybe Snape just resented Neville for having not been the child LV intended to kill. I truly think it is a plausible possibility. And we all know Snape wasn't above disliking and acting spitefully toward people, and through no fault of their own. Did Neville's performance in Potions only add fuel to the fire? Sure. But from what we see in canon, we don't really see Snape acting in any different manner towards Neville. He never seems to give the poor kid a chance! So, yeah, I don't think Snape intended his maltreatment of Neville to be some form of guidance to make certain that Neville didn't turn out like Pettigrew. I find that theory to be a bit far-fetched and contrived, just as I feel the notion that Snape didn't have cruel intentions when he made his little comment of, "I see no difference," to Hermione to also be far-fetched. I don't know, but I just don't think Snape was that much of a nice guy. Nor do I think he really cared what kind of person his students generally grew up to be. That's just me though.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Woo, new thread! :clap:
Initially, I feel that Lily's magical ability made her stand out, in Snape's eyes. That was why I think he approached her; he saw they both had something special in common and he could find a friend in her whom he could talk to about practically anything. His treatment of young Petunia shows he had prejudices towards Muggles but he hardly gives these a moment's thought after he has formed a friendship with Lily.
For me, it's difficult to say about what might've happened if Lily had been a Muggle. I don't think he would have approached her, both due to them no longer having something unique in common and his prejudices towards Muggles but, at the same time, Snape and Lily's friendship would not have survived as long as it did if they both did not like each other as individuals; sharing magical ability alone would not be enough. I think Snape liked and was attracted to Lily's nature very much; if she had approached him as a Muggle, perhaps, over time, he would've dropped his untrue views on Muggles and formed a friendship with her just the same.
Just my opinion. :)
All answers are just my own opinion and interpretation. :)
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
One of Snape's biggest flaws is impatience. That, coupled with his penchant for sarcasm, and he comes off as a bully.
I think the reason he goes after Neville is because the boy is a scatterbrain and puts others in danger because he doesn't concentrate on what he's doing. I believe Severus has difficulty understanding this trait in Neville for two reasons: 1) because Snape himself has a prodigious, natural talent for focusing and 2) because of his family background and subsequent low self-esteem, he doesn't realize how talented he really is and therefore thinks everyone has that capability to the same degree he does, if they would only apply themselves. Hence his impatience with Neville.
As for Hermione, I think he recognizes her quick intelligence and grasp of his instruction (her grades in his class prove that), he just can't tolerate her desire to flaunt her knowledge and her interruptions in class. Which is why I think he lets her finish the one class with those hexed, overgrown teeth. Bet she didn't say a word the rest of that period because she couldn't! Ah-peace at last!
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
*SQUEEEE* New thread! :love:
I want a pony too
1. After reading DH, to what extent do you think is Snape responsible for what happened to the Potters?
I think he's responsible for what he did: telling Voldemort of the prophecy, knowing the risk to the person it referred to.
2. Do you think Snape's character development arc is complete?
Well, there's a lot that remains unanswered, but all in all, there isn't much else he can do, since he's dead.
(Or, as I like to imagine, took healing potions and escaped to a remote island, where he soaks up the sun's rays, vegges out in a nice lovely seaside villa, and lives happily ever after.)
7. How would Snape's life have been different if he had managed to save their friendship?
Who knows? I think that if their friendship had survived beyond Hogwarts, I think he'd have eventually told her how he felt. No longer running the risk of being attacked would probably have allowed him to feel he could risk that vulnerability. But there are those additional issues of how, why, and when Lily fell in love with James and whether or not Severus and Lily remaining friends would have had any impact on his decision to join the DEs.
This last question I can see many different outcomes for: Severus would no longer be bunking with Mulciber et al., but would likely continue to be welcomed within their circle. Would this distance affect how those friendships played out? Would Lily's continued presence change things? I see Severus walking a very thin line between the two friendships, hoping that he could balance both. The problem is, he couldn't do this forever. Whether it was in 5th year or sometime after graduation, he had to give someone up. I would bet that in whatever hypothetical post-graduation scenario could be cooked up, the side he would eventually fall into would be the one he spent the most time with.
Lily's feelings for James have a lot to do with her character, but are also an important in that they could influence Severus as well. I see Lily as being slightly attracted to/interested in James in 5th year, possibly as a result of the Werewolf Incident. This could only amount to a crush and fade, or it could develop into something deeper and be irreparable. I think the dividing factor would be what exactly caused this possible change in James Sirius was talking about, and was it dependent on Lily and Severus' friendship? We have no information on this, so I don't think I can make a call on it.
However, I would say that if Lily did marry James and remained Severus' friend, I think he would distrust and severely dislike James, but put up with it. His reaction to James in canon I, to an extent, attribute to the SK switch and its consequences. If Lily hadn't married James, then (as I said earlier) Severus would probably have revealed his feelings. Whether or not Lily would return them is a whole 'nother essay. :rotfl:
15. What do you reckon Snape valued most in life?
Interesting question. I think there are two ways to look at this. There are the things that he desired but rarely expressed or chose to acknowledge, like the need for acceptance, love, and acknowledgment, and there are the things he overtly valued, like intelligence, practicality, efficiency, and straightforwardness. I think he valued all these things, but labeled some as weaknesses because, while they're necessary to all human beings, his own experiences with them were often painful, disappointing, or just plain not there. Not to mention they were very dangerous things for a spy in his position.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
The other possibility which has occurred to me is that deep down he feels guilty because he knows that by passing the prophecy to Voldemort he betrayed Neville, as well as Harry, and he can't cope with the guilt, so he gets angry with the person he knows he has wronged, because hatred is easier to deal with than guilt. Resenting people that make him feel guilty does seem to me to be one of Snape's characteristics.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Maybe it's just as simple as Neville being a totally inept potions student, blowing up or melting several cauldrons, and trying Professor Snape's patience much the same as he tried Professor McGonagall's. It could be any number of reasons.
I really don't see Severus resenting Neville for not being "The Chosen One." Unless Severus looked up his date of birth, in particular, he wouldn't even have known when Neville was born. I don't think many teachers actually look that deeply into their students' personal information without a specific reason.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
At any rate, so far as I can recall from the text, neither Snape nor any other character ever mentions - or hints at - the prophecy as a motivation for Snape's reaction to Neville. So I'm going with Neville's blowing up cauldrons and causing toxic hazards as the motivation. ;)
And lest my comment be understood as "blaming Neville," let me add that expressing impatience and frustration as intensely and irritably as Snape does in front of the student is not warranted.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
As to my other theory - that Snape's anger towards Neville is displaced guilt - that doesn't even have to relate to the Prophecy. As a former DE who deeply regrets his past (as I firmly believe he does - I think his reform is total), Snape would have had reason to feel guilty about any victims of the DEs, even those whose suffering he wasn't personally responsible for. I'm assuming that all Neville's teachers would have been told about his tragic family background, even if Snape didn't already know about the Longbottoms' fate through his DE contacts back at the time it happened. IMO Snape must have known that the organisation he was once a member of had tortured Neville's parents to madness and left him effectively an orphan with a deeply traumatic past.
It seems to me more than a coincidence that most of the people Snape most resents are the people he has most reason to feel guilty towards. I've often wondered if his hatred of James and Harry is as much informed by his guilt for his part in James's death as it is by the history between him and James as schoolboys and his jealousy over Lily.
We also know that Snape hated James even more after he saved his life, so there is some evidence that Snape can't cope with being in other people's debt, and I think this suggests he would not be good at handling guilt. (He wouldn't be the only one, either - at the end of OotP Harry tries to cope with his own guilt over Sirius's death by blaming and hating Snape. What I am suggesting is Snape doing a similar thing re Neville)
That's why I think that Snape's resentment and clinging to grudges may be a defence mechanism, a way of holding back the guilt which would overwhelm him and make it impossible to function effectively in the war against Voldemort if he ever confronted it. It's just a nebulous theory, though - I know that any evidence for it is circumstantial, at best.
Re: Severus Snape: Character Analysis Reboot v.6
Nothing would surprise me about Snape anymore. He is a deep, complex character and a few years ago if someone told me Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him I would have told them they were loonier than Luna. His cold treatment of Neville could very well stem from guilt or resentment.

I've been looking at proof techniques in formal systems like Coq and Agda recently, and encountered the
newring tactic described here for proving equalities over arbitrary (semi)rings. It does this by reducing the generated polynomials to a Horner normal form and comparing equality over that.
That got me wondering whether a similar approach is possible for inequalities over general "ordered semirings" (where the order fits with the semiring operations). Someone pointed me to the
omega tactic in Coq, for proving arbitrary statements (including inequalities) about Presburger arithmetic (with some restricted simulated multiplication). Anyway, it's clearly possible for Presburger arithmetic because all statements are decidable, but I don't really care about all statements, and was wondering whether it was possible for a particular algebraic structure without relying on properties of particular structures like the integers or reals.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to ? I'd be happy to even get some pointers to look more deeply into the problem, as I'm not even sure what to search for at this point.
Edit: there's more on the question in these slides. So I can do it on integral domains and fields through a connection with the reals. I'd really like to do it for arbitrary semirings, though.

Bats have a habit of flying close to the ground while out foraging in order to protect themselves from airborne predators. So what happens when a new road gets put through their normal hunting grounds? Unfortunately, a meeting between a low-flying bat and a car usually goes poorly for one of them. Currently, the usual approach towards protecting these creatures has been bat gantries or bridges. These hang over roads, and are thought to provide a pathway that bats can happily follow — safely above the traffic.
Unfortunately, not so much.
A new study in PLoS ONE tracked four sites in northern England, at surveyed bat activity at the crossing points as well as other areas on the road. The bats appear to take almost no notice of the bridges, and still favor the near-ground routes. They relied on established commuting paths, even when the bridge was present for years and a road severed the normal path. As the study said:
Although a limited study of such diverse structures cannot be definitive, we believe it demonstrates that some current practices are failing. We found no evidence that bats used gantries in preference to nearby, severed but unmitigated commuting routes. At all but one site...the majority of bats crossed at unsafe heights, even in proximity to gantries.
While underpasses built specifically for the bats were marginally more successful, it depended on the type of bat, and relied on being built on existing paths, and not requiring bats to change their flight height.
The gantries are being used across Europe to try and protect bats in areas of new road construction, and this study has showed them to be all but useless — which means it's back to the drawing board to try and stop them from getting smooshed.

The latest news from Street Trainers around the world
What is Street Training

Street Training is
It's all and any of the joyful, funny, poetic, challenging things people do as we move through the streets. Every one does something over and above just walking down the street with their walking-down -the -street face on, going shopping and going to work. These things slip through the cracks in most big cities but the personal playful, joyful, subversive things we do make a difference to us, to other people and to places.

Alison Rooke BA, PHD lecturer and researcher at Goldsmiths praises Street Training
Submitted by Lottie on Mon, 2014-04-21 11:49
After some group discussion, the young people took us out on to the estate to teach us some ways to be playful and joyful, such as climbing on roofs, squeezing through railings, jumping over fences, jumping over bollards, balancing. They also hosted a tea party in their den under a tree. . As my colleague Aida reflected afterwards, this was quite an unusual way of presenting a project. During the walk we were invited to explore the city physically, bodily and performatively. We were encouraged to behave, as adults are not supposed to.

Debating Science Issues 2014 Kicks Off
REDDSTAR, an EU project co-ordinated by NUI Galway, has partnered with eight other collaborators to deliver the All-Ireland schools' science debate competition, Debating Science Issues. Now in its seventh year, the biomedical, bioethical programme involves a workshop series and debate competition and involves 36 schools across the island of Ireland.
The workshop phase of the Debating Science Issues project has recently launched. However, many partners are still recruiting schools. The pre-competition workshops provide an open and impartial environment and challenge the students to consider the ethical impacts of contemporary research. After the workshops, a debate competition ensues narrowing the field of 36 schools down to one 2014 All-Ireland winner. Debate adjudicators represent various stakeholder sectors including science, communications/journalism, religion, medicine, ethics, patients, and interested publics.
Debating Science Issues encourages young people to engage in debate on the cultural, societal and ethical implications of advances in biomedical science. The project addresses contemporary scientific issues such as lifestyle-related disease, stem cells, nanotechnology, genetically modified food, immunology practices, organ transplantation allocation and health and self-testing.
"We are thrilled to continue this cross border science project for another year and welcome the University of Ulster as a new collaborator. Students involved in Debating Science Issues will shape the future direction of biomedical science; they will govern legislation within which biomedical research is carried out; as taxpayers they will fund future research; they will work at our lab benches. Consequently, they may be opposed to the direction some of this research takes, and this is important as public engagement with science needs to be a dialogue not a lecture", says Danielle Nicholson, REDDSTAR Dissemination Officer.
For 2013-14, nine collaborators are involved in organising the workshop series and debates: REDDSTAR, an EU project co-ordinated by NUI Galway partnering with APC at UCC, BDI at DCU, W5 in Belfast, CRANN at Trinity College, INSIGHT at UCD, NUI Galway, CIT, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the University of Ulster.

WFUV Pop Quiz: David Bromberg
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Bromberg was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Tarrytown, New York. He began playing the guitar when he was 13 years old and later enrolled in Columbia University as a musicology major. He got his real education in Greenwich Village, studying guitar with Reverend Gary Davis, and found himself in demand as a studio sideman for everyone from Bob Dylan to Carly Simon to The Eagles. He began releasing his own albums in the 1970's, but gave up performing in the '80s to learn violin making in Chicago. He returned to recording with his Try Me One More Time album, which was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award. Bromberg currently lives in Wilmington, Delaware, where he and his wife, artist Nancy Josephson, own a violin sales and repair shop.
Aside from gear, instruments or your band, you don't go on the road without...?
Without my cell phone, iPad, clean socks and underwear.
What song do you wish you've written?
Anything that Ray Charles has sung because he sang it.
Who would you like to record one of your songs, dead or alive?
Mavis Staples. I got one I'm going to send her.
What song would you sing in the shower but never in public?
There are old songs that we've learned in kindergarten and some of them are wonderful. "Oh My Darling, Clementine" is a hilarious song and "Drill Ye Terriers, Drill." I like those tunes.
What's the first album you bought?
I'm not sure. It was either a Muddy Waters album, Gary Davis album or a Pink Anderson album.
Someone finds your iPod and hits shuffle. Is there something that might come up that would really surprise them?
There's a lot on there that would surprise them. Two of my favorite records were on Nonesuch and one of them was called The Real Bahamas. Joe Spence is also on there but most of it is vocal music. I'm supposed to be an instrumentalist but my favorite music is more vocal. There's that and then there's also a wonderful Bulgarian state folk orchestra. I love it, and there's also the Pennywhistlers singing Eastern European things. Those might surprise somebody.
What's your favorite Bob Dylan Song?
"It Takes a lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry," at the moment.
What job would you have if you weren't a musician?
I'd be a violin expert.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I'm an Olympic sleeper. There are not many people who can sleep the way I can. I can sleep anywhere for pretty near as long as I want to.
Do you cook?
Only with a guitar.
What's the biggest misconception your fans or the media have about you?
I always used to badmouth my singing. Truthfully, I never thought that it was worse than, for example, Bruce Springsteen or somebody. I actually learned a lot about singing during the 22 years when I wasn't performing. The old rap that I put on myself is still out there. These days I really enjoy singing and I think I do a whole lot better.
What wacky thing would you do if you had the time, guts or resources?
Move to New York. I want to be back in Manhattan, so does my wife, we want to be back here. I need a lot of money to do that.

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has pointed to the substitution of captain John Terry as a pivotal moment of his side's 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday evening.
The European champions had been well in control of the early stages at Stamford Bridge and took the lead courtesy of a header from the former England skipper.
However, Terry, making his first domestic appearance after fulfilling his suspension for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, would have to be stretchered off before half-time with a suspected knee injury.
Indeed, Di Matteo believes that the defender's departure allowed Liverpool to gain a foothold in the match, which they would later exploit with an equaliser through Luis Suarez.
"Well you saw how he started the game," Di Matteo explained to Sky Sports when asked if his side had been affected by the departure of Terry.
"He was old fashioned with his quality and experience and obviously scored the goal as well. Certainly he's very influential in our game and our team and certainly we miss him."
The Italian added that it was too early to tell just how bad Terry's injury was and that a Monday morning scan could provide more answers.
He said: "He's got a problem with his knee and will have to have an MRI scan tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's not too serious but at the moment we can't say any more.
"We'll have to wait for the MRI scan, that will tell us exactly the extent of the injury. It's a shame because he'd just got back from his ban as well."
The 42-year-old believed that his side had controlled matters and had been made to pay for their profligacy in front of goal.
"We very much controlled the game and we had chances for the second goal and I think that's probably the disappointment, that we weren't able to score the second goal to kill the game off," Di Matteo continued.
"With 1-0 it's always a dangerous result and that's exactly what happened. We needed to score the second one."
Chelsea's point sees them stay third in the Premier League table, after Manchester City had leapfrogged them by defeating Tottenham earlier on Sunday, three points behind leaders Manchester United.

The Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Wall project (HIPerWall) provides unprecedented high-capacity visualization capabilities to experimental and theoretical researchers. Our primary focus is on Earth science visualization, but collaborating researchers in fields including biomedical science and engineering also benefit from HIPerWall's capabilities. Earth science datasets often cover large areas of the planet at high resolution and depth with many values at each grid point that vary over time, resulting in many gigabytes or terabytes of data. Visualizing these multi-dimensional, time-varying dataset is both a challenge to computational/storage infrastructure as well as current display technologies. With HIPerWall, researchers can see both the broad view of the data and details concurrently, enabling collaboration and shared viewing of complex results. A visualization cluster of high-performance commodity computers transfers and manipulates data displayed on HIPerWall's 50 display tiles that operate at a combined resolution of over 200 mega pixels. The visualization cluster also receives real-time simulation data from UCI's Earth System Modeling Facility, an IBM supercomputer funded by NSF in 2003, as well as other sources. HIPerWall's ability to display extremely high-resolution datasets drives and provides focus for ongoing research into management, transfer, and visualization of terabyte-scale data. While the hardware infrastructure of HIPerWall is challenging and matches the state of the art, the data handling and distributed visualization capabilities needed to support HIPerWall's capacity are well beyond current practice. Please visit the HIPerSpace page to learn about the second generation of this technology.

Peyton Manning is careful with his words, handling questions with the same vision with which he scans defenses.
So it says something about the Broncos quarterback's admiration for New England coach Bill Belichick when Manning said the following Wednesday afternoon: "Coach Belichick is the best coach that I have ever competed against, and I think it's safe to say that he will go down as the greatest NFL coach of all time."
Sunday, in the AFC championship game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Manning and his Broncos are going to have to find a way to beat "the greatest coach of all time" if they're are going to advance to the Super Bowl.
Earlier in the day, the Broncos put in their first full practice for the title game. Every player was a full participant expect for defensive back Mike Adams, who was limited because of a bruised thigh.
As defensive backs coach Cory Undlin put his players through a drill, he had a new number his ranks.
No. 34 is cornerback Marquice Cole, signed by the team Tuesday to fill the void left by the season-ending knee injury to Chris Harris Jr.
"Marquice is a guy that has been playing, he's in shape, he's fit and he was the best guy available," coach John Fox said when asked why the Broncos signed Cole.
Also on the practice field Wednesday, in a new role, was tackle Vinston Painter, who was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. He replaces Derek Wolfe, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Cole is expected to be used in the Broncos' nickel package and on special teams. The fifth-year player has seen action in 64 regular-season games (two starts) with the N.Y. Jets (2009-11) and the Patriots (2012-13).
The Broncos practiced Wednesday under most cloudy skies and a temperature of 46 degrees at their Dove Valley headquarters. The forecast for Sunday's game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High is expected to approach 60 degrees.

Lederman, Leon Max
Lederman, Leon Max lĕd´ərmən [key], 1922–, American physicist, Ph.D. Columbia, 1951. He was a professor at Columbia until he became director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill. (1979–89). In the early 1960s, Lederman and co-researchers, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger , developed the neutrino beam method for studying weak interactions and used it to make discoveries about elementary particle physics, including a new type of neutrino (a particle with no detectable electric charge or mass that moves at the speed of light). This led to the development of a new scheme for classifying families of subatomic particles. In 1988, Lederman, Schwartz, and Steinberger were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery.

Climbing Out of the Basement
I ignored my mind's development. Unlike my belligerent stepfather who battered us with his intelligent tongue, my body was my weapon—not my brain…
When I was eight, my artistic parents divorced and my mother married an intelligent lawyer who took us from a small house to a much bigger house. The basement in our new house is where I learned to box.
I was like a small mole, burrowing down into the dark, dank soil of that basement, and it quickly became my new home. It proved a refuge from the verbally violent atmosphere my mother unwittingly got us into. Boxing became my passion—the heavy bag, the light bag and the brown leather, 16-ounce boxing gloves became my allies. I was a young boy and didn't do introspection too well; all I knew was punching a heavy bag felt really good.
The rigors and ecstasies of boxing lasted throughout my childhood. Anger became an exciting and profitable emotion, and now that I knew what to do with it, I refused to give it up. Boxing was brutal and bitter, but I loved it. At least that's what I told myself. The truth was I hated boxing as much as I loved it. Boxing was my successful dysfunction.
The angry dropouts in school became my tribal family. Ours was a rough clan of punks whose cardinal rules were: Shut up or put up and Never start a fight, but always end it, and Walk softly and carry a big stick.
Our pastimes were sports, hanging out in town, and neglecting homework. For me, the ultimate goal of my dark angry existence was to one day fight in Madison Square Garden for a Golden Gloves title. Throughout my school years I honed my arms, chest and legs in preparation for my forthcoming epic battle in the Golden Gloves.
Growing up, I purposely ignored my mind's development. My deep underlying belief was the strength and nobility of my body. Unlike my belligerent stepfather who battered us with his intelligent tongue, my body was my weapon—not my brain.
At eighteen, I finally entered The Gloves. Week after week, I beat my opponents until I reached the finals. The night of the finals, I was sick with the flu and weighed six and ½ pounds lighter than normal. Weakened, but still confident, I stepped through the ring ropes of Madison Square Garden and lost a close three-round decision. Losing was horrible.
Soon, my boxing family began to break up, too. Some guys entered the pro boxing ranks, some went to work and others landed in jail. I, somehow, squeaked into college. I quit boxing as if I were quitting a drug. I was afraid it would fatally distract me from my studies and I didn't want to become an occasional boxer.
So I plunged into a life of books, libraries and endless studies. I began hitting books instead of people. The classroom became my ring, but I had to work double-time in order to overcome my lackluster academic past. Of my previous life, I rarely spoke. There were too many clichés and preconceptions about flat-nosed pugs to overcome.
Years later, in my mid-30s, I found myself working as an English teacher in New York. Me being a high school teacher was like a criminal returning to the scene of the crime. I had always convinced myself that I was born with more fast-twitch muscle in my body than quick synapses in my brain. College proved to be an emotional rollercoaster, but it was there where I discovered that punching out a perfect paragraph was fundamentally more profitable and exciting than punching someone's face.
One afternoon, after teaching school, I entered a local boxing gym. Although I never truly abandoned boxing, it set about saving me once more—this time from a gnawing sense of middle-aged alienation and hollowness. I didn't drop to my knees in great happiness or feel a rush of adrenalin. I was older and wiser and the youthful fantasy of Golden Glove redemption had long melted away.
When I first hung up the gloves as a kid, I was relieved not to be getting smacked on the nose anymore. Life was gentler. I could eat juicy hamburgers and tasty cupcakes whenever I wanted, but I always felt like something had been subtracted out of my flesh. My blood never pumped so fast. Did I miss the human contact?
I began training again.
One day, the gym owner called me over. "Wanna be my head coach?" he said. "You c'n work nights, after teachin'."
I looked at his damaged face, the sweaty fighters and the grimy gym. What I once saw as brilliant, beautiful, even magical, I now saw as ordinary, ignorant and even pathetic.
Was I too soft for this again? Was I more comfortable with the civility of teaching?
"In'erested?" he slurred.
New York City is the Mecca of boxing, and there is truth in that name. Many confused young boys have started out as punks in these dark violent gyms, fought in the Golden Gloves, and ended up world champions. Two of my friends did. But did I want to be part of this wild, dangerous, stupid, crazy sport anymore? Beating people up? Damaged faces and brains?
"Well?" he said.
Did I want to burrow down into my stepfather's dark, dank basement again?
I looked at the man's flat nose. "Boxing is stupid! I hate boxing. I hated it the first day I laced up my first pair of gloves down in my basement. I hated it ten years later when I quit. But boxing saved my life. It was the blood-sucking leech that fed upon my anger, my hurt, my hate, and my fear. Boxing purified me. That's why I love it," I said to myself.
"Okay," I told him.
A month later, a middleweight named Denny, walked into the gym. "You the coach?"
I nodded.
"I wanna enter The Gloves," he said, dropping his duffle bag to the floor.
What personal pain had brought Denny here? Did he have the same appetite for violence that I once had?
He continued looking at me.
Was this the circle of life? There were still so many unhappy memories breathing in my gut about my stepfather's sad basement. Could I convince myself that by my coaching Denny I could sculpt beauty into his body and brain? When a kid moves sweetly, is that art? Does a coach chisel a human statue?
"Why don't you get outta here and learn how to write a perfect paragraph instead of learning how to throw a perfect punch," I almost spit.
"I need a coach," he said, rolling his wide shoulders.
I stared at Denny and saw my own face. "Okay," I whispered, "suit up."
Sure enough, Denny's past was miserable: a mother's suicide, a father's death and his own heroin addiction. I watched him gracefully punish the heavy bag and murder his reflection in the mirror. Here was a boy-bomb with beautiful muscular violence just begging to be molded.
If Martha Graham can sculpt a ballerina, I can sculpt a fighter. If she can educate toes—I can educate fists.
Three months later, I pried the ring ropes open with my foot and arms and Denny stepped into the ring to fight for the middleweight title in Madison Square Garden. We looked at each other silently, but at the same time, held back, afraid of what each other's eyes were saying. There was a patina of Vaseline and sweat on his chiseled face.
The bell rang. I sat in the corner and watched him pound out an elegant, passionate and lopsided decision over his opponent. Denny was a thing of great beauty—a wonderful work of art.
Boxing is insane. But it's a healthy insane.
As the referee raised Denny's hand in victory, and the crowd cheered its approval, I realized that I had climbed out of that dark basement and a part of me was up in that ring with him.
Peter Wood, an English teacher at White Plains High School, is the author of "Confessions of a Fighter—Battling Through the Golden Gloves" and "A Clenched Fist—The Making of a Golden Gloves Champion," both published by Ringside Books.

An important vulnerability was recently identified in Apache HTTP Server version 2.2.14 and earlier (CVE-2010-0425: mod_isapi module unload flaw). The flaw in mod_isapi could result in an attempt to unload the ISAPI dll when encountering various error states. This could leave the callbacks in an undefined state and result in a segfault. On Windows platforms using mod_isapi, a remote attacker could send a malicious request to trigger this issue, and as win32 MPM runs only one process, this would result in a denial of service, and potentially allow arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability has been fixed in Apache httpd 2.2.15.
Adobe is issuing this blog post as an advisory for customers of Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5.x (Windows only), which ships with version 2.2.9 of Apache HTTP Server:
While Adobe Flash Media Server is not vulnerable to this exploit without specific configuration to support ISAPI-based actions, Adobe recommends customers disable the ISAPI module as a precaution.
To prevent the ISAPI module from loading, change the following line in the Flash Media Server Apache configuration at FMS_INSTALL_DIR/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf from
LoadModule isapi_module modules/mod_isapi.so
#LoadModule isapi_module modules/mod_isapi.so
If the ISAPI module is needed for your particular Apache distribution, Adobe recommends you update your Apache installation to version 2.2.15, which includes the patch to fix this vulnerability.
For documentation on the configurations Flash Media Server uses to determine its Apache location, visit http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WSE2A5A7B9-E118-496f-92F9-E295038DB7DB.html.

MetOp encapsulated in fairing
Following the formal key point meeting with Starsem, the MetOp satellite mated to Fregat has been successfully encapsulated in the fairing.
The resulting Upper Composite will now be transferred, by train, from the integration facility to the launcher preparation facility tonight, in preparation for launch on Tuesday 17 October. The train will undergo its slow journey through the night to reach the Soyuz launcher preparation facility tomorrow morning where it will be mated with the third-stage of the rocket.
The encapsulation follows a week where inspection and analysis has been conducted to check that no damage had been sustained as a result of an incident that took place when the Upper Composite was being loaded onto the train to take it to the launch facility on 30 September.
The Upper Composite experienced a slight mechanical shock and therefore had to be returned to the clean room for a full inspection after de-encapsulation. This incident meant that the campaign had to be interrupted and MetOp could not be launched on 7 October as originally planned.
Fortunately, the inspection and analysis revealed that no damage had been incurred and subsequent talks between ESA, Starsem, EUMETSAT and the Russian partners resulted in a new launch date being set for 17 October at 18:28 CEST.

The will they/won't they drama surrounding Toyota and the building of a successor to the venerable Supra's getting old, but if fresh rumors prove true this might get shifted from a Ross-and-Rachel situation to a full-on Moonlighting. If so, the car will need a fresh new look. Here's one such speculatively-rendered design.
Designer Andreas Fougner's modified the classic RWD dimensions of the beloved Supra and transformed them into something inspired by the Scion FR-S and Lexus LFA without being suffocated by the influence.
This look is particularly stunning in profile, where the C-pillar wraps around into the body of the vehicle similar to what was attempted on the FT-HS Concept pulled into a rear end that owes inspiration to both the Mk4 Supra and the Audi R8.
"My goal with this concept was to try and keep the DNA of the Supra mk4 but still create something new and fresh," says Fougner.
If the Supra does come to fruition expect a turbo V6 powertrain on a RWD platform. Even if it doesn't, check out all the renderings at Bullfinch Visuals.

Detailed Textual Analysis of the Differences Between the 1989 and 1999 Editions of Standard 90.1
The Energy Conservation and Production Act provides that whenever the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989, or any successor to that code is revised, the Secretary of Energy must determine whether the revised code would improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings
The U.S. Department of Energy has performed both a quantitative analysis of the likely impacts of the revised code on the energy efficiency of seven categories of new commercial buildings, compared to the 1989 edition, and a non-quantitative assessment of the comparative stringency of those elements of the revised code that could not be analyzed quantitatively.
The quantitative analysis concluded that the1999 revision of the code would likely reduce the source energy consumption of new commercial buildings by approximately 5.9 percent. Site energy savings were estimated to be approximately 3.9 percent. The comparative assessment of those elements of the 1989 and 1999 revised codes that could not be quantitatively analyzed also concluded that the 1999 standard would increase energy efficiency.

The majority of Americans, 63%, do not believe they are saving enough for retirement, according to an Edward Jones survey released Friday. In addition, the April poll of 565 individuals found, this outlook varies by region.
In the Midwest, only 54% of those surveyed felt they were not saving enough. However, this number spiked to 68% in the West, 64% in the South and 63% in the Northeast, perhaps reflecting higher expenses in certain regions and real estate price discrepancies.
When asked why they did not feel they were saving enough, 32% said it was because they had too many current expenses, 10% referred to retirement as not being attainable, 10% believed it is too early, 5% said retirement was not desirable and 4% were too busy.
"While everyday expenses like education and housing are clearly necessary expenses for many Americans, this survey found that there is still almost one-third of respondents who point to fairly vague reasons for not saving enough, including those with concerns that saving for retirement is unattainable or that it's too early to start," said Scott Thoma, Investment Policy Committee Member at Edward Jones, in a statement.
In addition, the results varied significantly by age. Of those 18 to 34, 72% say they are not saving enough. This figure drops to 63% for those 35 to 44, 56% for ages 45 to 54, 49% for ages 55 to 64 and 47% for those 65 and older.
"We want to remind Americans that taking a proactive approach, no matter how minimal it may seem, is the best way to overcome retirement-readiness fears," Thoma said. "Investing regularly into a 401(k) or an IRA can be a great option. By working with a financial professional, any investor, whether they are at the beginning of their career or close to traditional retirement age, can work to develop a plan to help them achieve their goals."
The survey also found that household and family size has a clear impact on retirement savings. While the survey average shows that 32% of Americans are grappling with too many current expenses to save for retirement, the percentage increases dramatically for respondents with children between 13 and 17 to 49%.
"Balancing college and retirement savings is a common challenge for parents. With limited resources, it's important to create a strategy that will help allocate savings appropriately," Thoma shared. For respondents with no children, only 25% state that current expenses are impacting their ability to save.
Edward Jones currently has some 12,000 financial advisors working with nearly 7 million clients nationwide.

School Nurse Day
National School Nurse Day is on Wednesday, May 6, 2020
NEA Salutes School Nurses on School Nurse Day and Every Day
If you think school nursing is all about flu shots, Band-Aids, and record-keeping, you haven't been inside a school lately.
School health professionals juggle a complex array of medical and social issues, seeing thousands of students, and often moving from school to school throughout the district.
A typical schedule can encompass immunizations, health care screenings, hearing and vision testing; dealing with home accidents, diseases such as diabetes and asthma, student obesity, special needs like tube-feeding, preventing the spread of disease through blood exposure; and the fallout from mental, emotional, and social problems, including arranging for disadvantaged students to receive breakfast and clothing, and even helping students cope who are homeless or whose parents are incarcerated.
For some students, the school nurse is the only health care professional they ever see.
Nor is their work confined to the nurse's office—they must also interact with other professionals such as teachers, doctors, child study teams, administrators, school counselors, coaches, parents, police officers, drug and substance abuse professionals, social workers, and other Education Support Professionals.
Many Students, Few Nurses
About 50,000 school nurses are employed in America, but we need more. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, schools should have one nurse for every 750 students. The reality is a far cry from the recommendation; about 59% of schools have a higher ratio of students to available nurses.
According to statistics from the National Association of School Nurses, in 2005, Michigan, for example, had about 3,611 students for every school nurse, and Utah had only one nurse for every 4,952 students. At the same time, the number of students with medical needs continues to increase.
Yet, school nurses rise to the challenge. Healers, comforters, educators, mentors, trainers, role models, critically-needed members of every school community—heroes all—NEA salutes school nurses this day and every day.
School Nurses are Important to NEA
NEA is proud of its 11,400 school nurse members! Find out how you can join NEA and add your voice in support of all public school employees.
School nurses tackle new challenges to help keep kids ready to learn.
Of buck teeth, nebulizers, and the Tooth Fairy
Fewer school nurses often mean more medical responsibilities for teacher's aides, secretaries, and other education support professionals.
Lack of health care professionals in schools affects students', teachers' performance.

- What Is Lopinavir?
- Who Should Take It?
- What About Drug Resistance?
- How Is It Taken?
- What Are the Side Effects?
- How Does It React With Other Drugs?
What Is Lopinavir?
Lopinavir is a drug used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. Lopinavir is a protease inhibitor. The amount of lopinavir in the blood stream stays much higher if it is taken with a small amount of ritonavir, another protease inhibitor. See Fact Sheet 442 for more information on ritonavir. Kaletra® is a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir in the same tablet. In developing countries, Kaletra is sold as Aluvia. Generic versions have been tentatively approved under PEPFAR (see Fact Sheet 475).
Protease inhibitors prevent the protease enzyme from working. HIV protease acts like chemical scissors. It cuts the raw material for HIV into specific pieces needed to build a new virus. Protease inhibitors "gum up" these scissors.
Who Should Take It?
Kaletra was approved in 2000 as an antiretroviral drug (ARV) for people with HIV infection. It has been studied in adults and children. In 2008 it was approved for use in children at least 14 days old.
There are no absolute rules about when to start ART. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
If you take Kaletra with other ARVs, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
What About Drug Resistance?
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance."
Kaletra provides blood levels that are high enough to control HIV that has already developed some resistance to other protease inhibitors.
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is It Taken?
A film-coated tablet of Kaletra was approved in October 2005. The tablet replaces the original gelatin capsule version. Each tablet contains 200 milligrams (mg) of lopinavir and 50 mg of ritonavir. The normal dose is two tablets twice a day or four tablets once a day for patients whose HIV does not have significant resistance to Kaletra.
In November 2007, the FDA approved a half-strength formulation for children. It contains 100 mg of lopinavir and 25 mg of ritonavir. This version does not require refrigeration.
It is also available in liquid form. The normal adult dose is 5 milliliters (ml) twice a day. Kaletra tablets can be taken with or without food. Kaletra liquid should be taken with food. Different doses are used in some combinations. Be sure you know how much Kaletra your health care provider has prescribed for you, and when and how to take each dose.
Kaletra is approved for use by children. Their dosage is based on their body weight. Tablets should not be crushed, broken or chewed. This can result in low drug levels.
Kaletra tablets should be kept at room temperature. They are not sensitive to heat. Kaletra liquid can be refrigerated or stored at room temperature for up to 2 months.
The older capsule version of Kaletra will be phased out by Abbott. Where the capsules are used, they should be stored at or below 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). At higher temperatures, they can become soft and sticky and form clumps. The capsules may stick together and be difficult to separate. They may lose potency.
What Are the Side Effects?
The most common side effects of Kaletra are diarrhea, fatigue, headache, and nausea. None of these side effects seem to be very serious. Kaletra can increase the amount of fat (cholesterol and triglycerides) in your blood. High levels of blood fats can increase your risk of problems with your heart or pancreas. Kaletra was recently found to cause changes in heart rhythm. Be sure your health care provider knows if you have any problems with your heart.
How Does It React With Other Drugs?
Kaletra is broken down by the liver and can interact with other drugs that also use the liver. Combining these drugs can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your doctor knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
Drugs to watch out for include other ARVs, drugs to treat tuberculosis (see Fact Sheet 518), for erectile dysfunction (such as Viagra), for heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics), and migraine headaches. Interactions are also possible with several antihistamines, sedatives, drugs to lower cholesterol, and anti-fungal drugs, or drugs that alter heart rhythm.
If you are taking liquid Kaletra and ddI, you should take ddI one hour before or two hours after Kaletra. These restrictions do not apply to the new Kaletra tablets.
Take Kaletra one hour apart from antacids.
Kaletra lowers blood levels of methadone. Watch for signs of excessive sedation if you take Kaletra with buprenorphine.
Nelfinavir lowers blood levels of Kaletra. Your Kaletra dose may need to be increased if you are taking nelfinavir, especially if your virus is partially resistant to protease inhibitors.
Some birth control pills may not work if you are taking Kaletra. Talk to your health care provider about how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
The herb St. John's Wort (see Fact Sheet 729) lowers the blood levels of some protease inhibitors. Do not take it with Kaletra.
Kaletra lowers blood levels of lamotrigine, a drug used to treat epilepsy and neuropathy. A higher dose of lamotrigine may be required.
Kaletra raises blood levels of midazolam (Versed), a sedative. They should not be taken together without careful monitoring.

States had to be rated a 5 or better to be put in the Republican column. In cases where a state was rated less than a 5, Advantage Obama.
A reminder, the battleground states were: New Hampshire, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Iowa. The remainder were either likely or safely in the hands of one party or another, and were divided accordingly; if you think I erred in thinking a state wasn't competitive, please say so.
Over 2000 Hot Air readers cast ballots. The table of overall scores follows:
("In State Avg" is how residents of the state rated their own state.)
Generally speaking, state residents ranked the GOP's chances in their state higher than their non-state counterparts. There were two exceptions: Pennsylvania and Iowa, both of whom were more pessimistic about the GOP's chances than non-Pennsylvanians and Iowans.
I've color-coded three maps to represent different aspects of the data.
The first is the electoral map of voters who rated their own state (the "In State Avg"). If residents of a state know the political climate of their battleground state the best, then Hot Air readers think the Republican will defeat Barack Obama in the electoral college, 286-252. Republicans take New Hampshire, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada, Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina in this scenario, and lose Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Iowa.
The second is the electoral map of voters who are non-residents of the rated state. So, for instance, the Pennsylvania rating here encompasses all votes cast, except those from Pennsylvanians. If dispassionate non-residents know best, then Hot Air readers believe the Republican will defeat Barack Obama in the electoral college, 272-266. Republicans gain Iowa, but lose New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
And finally, the last map is of the states where both residents and non-residents agree a state is likely going to the Republican. In this "agreement map," the Republican loses to Barack Obama, 272-266. Here, Iowa has moved into Barack Obama's column, as residents disagreed with non-residents by just enough to throw the votes to the President.
Below is a map I created that totals to the very least number of votes a Republican can take — 270 — and still win. The difference between this and the "agreement" map is New Hampshire flips to the Republican. It's a modest map, and one I don't think is altogether unlikely.
Any of these seem more likely than the others? Tell me in the comments, or on Twitter. The monthly candidate survey is posting tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Windermere Kids at the Y program updatePosted in Grant recipients by Tara Sharp
In 2006, the Windermere Foundation and the YMCA partnered to create Windermere Kids at the Y, a tuition-assistance and volunteer program that provides low-income children with quality after-school enrichment programs and the all-important summer camp experience.
The Windermere Foundation has dedicated over 1.2 million dollars to this important cause—helping hundreds of kids through our first network-wide program. This unique partnership provides the YMCA with much-needed funds, as well as support from Windermere agents, who volunteer their time to assist with the summer camps and other kids' activities.
