State of ART at CROI: New Concepts and New Integrase Inhibitors
March 8, 2012
For years, one of the most anticipated and best-attended sessions at CROI has covered new medications. Wednesday's session was no exception. A standing-room-only crowd listened to presentations that covered preclinical molecules, molecular genetics and clinical trials. I was lucky to arrive early and get a seat.
The session started with a presentation by Frauke Christ (Belgium) describing intriguing in vitro data on inhibitors of a new drug target called LEDGF/p75 -- one of the components of the HIV integration process (abstract 98). These molecules, called LEDGINs, appear to work by blocking the dimerization of the HIV integrase, and may work additively with current integrase inhibitors.
Peter Ruane, M.D., (Los Angeles) presented the results of a dose-ranging, 10-day, monotherapy study of GS-7340 (abstract 103). GS-7340 is a phosphoramidite prodrug of tenofovir (TDF, Viread) -- I love it when clinicians talk organic chemistry -- that is proposed to have lower plasma levels, but concentrates in target cells. Cynics could say that this might be a strategy to extend the patent life of tenofovir, but could the drug offer clinical or safety benefits?
In this study of 38 individuals, patients received either placebo, standard (300-mg) tenofovir or GS-7340 (8, 25 or 40 mg, once daily). Compared with the patients on tenofovir, patients who received 25 or 40 mg of GS-7340 had larger declines in HIV RNA levels (-0.97 log10 versus -1.46 log10 and -1.73 log10, respectively). Intracellular PBMC lymphocyte levels of the active drug metabolite (tenofovir diphosphate) were about seven to 20 times higher for GS-7340 patients compared with tenofovir patients. Questions were asked about the selectivity of this increased intracellular drug concentration; if this could also cause increased levels in hepatocytes (a good thing if you're thinking of treating hepatitis B), bone or kidney cells (not a good thing, if you're concerned about osteoporosis or renal injury).
It appeared that most of the audience was in attendance to hear about studies focused on the investigational HIV integrase inhibitors elvitegravir and dolutegravir. Dolutegravir is of interest because it retains activity against some HIV strains that are resistant to the first integrase inhibitor, raltegravir (RAL, Isentress). Of note, an expanded access program for dolutegravir was announced this week for individuals with raltegravir-resistant HIV.
Integrase-inhibitor-based treatments have become widely utilized in the U.S., as well as in our clinic. Part of the reason for this is the concern over low-grade intolerance for efavirenz (EFV, Sustiva, Stocrin), so studies that compare new integrase inhibitors to the reference standard would be notable. Raltegravir has proved to be extremely well tolerated, but requires twice-daily dosing and is not coformulated. Both of the new integrase inhibitors offer once-daily dosing and the potential for coformulation.
Paul Sax, M.D., (frequent TheBody.com and TheBodyPRO.com contributor) presented results from the Gilead Science study GS-US-236-0102, the first fully powered study to compare two once-daily single tablet regimens (abstract 101). This was a placebo-controlled trial of 700 individuals who were randomized to take efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine (EFV/TDF/FTC, Atripla) or the Quad pill (cobicistat + elvitegravir + emtricitabine + tenofovir). Overall, the results demonstrate the non-inferiority of the two single tablet regimens; there were no apparent differences in virologic responses and rates of virologic failure (or resistance rates).
There was a statistically significantly greater CD4+ cell count rise with the Quad (239 cells) compared with efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine (206 cells). Both were relatively well tolerated, though Quad recipients more frequently reported nausea (21% versus 14%) and efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine patients, not surprisingly, had more efavirenz-related side effects (i.e., abnormal dreams, insomnia, dizziness and rash). Quad, as seen in prior cobicistat studies, was associated with small artifactual and not clinically relevant increases in serum creatinine. Most of these side effects were of grade 1 intensity. 1.4% of patients receiving Quad discontinued due to renal side effects.
Quad was also found to be non-inferior to a regimen of the boosted protease inhibitor atazanavir (ATV, Reyataz) in a separate powered phase 3 study, with 90% versus 87% virologic suppression (abstract 627). There were few discontinuations for renal events -- 0.3% in both arms.
The Shionogi-ViiV group and Hans-Juergen Stellbrink, M.D., presented the final 96-week results of the phase 2 study of dolutegravir in treatment-naive persons (abstract 102LB). About 200 individuals received either efavirenz or dolutegravir (with two NRTIs, selected by the site investigators). Protocol-defined virologic failure was not reported in any of the patients initially randomized to the 50-mg arm (the dose selected for phase 3 studies) and there were fewer grade 2-4 adverse events reported in the dolutegravir arms (11%) compared with the efavirenz arm (24%). Like Quad, dolutegravir was associated with small increases in serum creatinine (0.1-0.15 mg/dL) that may be related to inhibition of tubular reabsorption, mediated by OCT2. There were no apparent differences when results were analyzed by NRTI backbone.
I expect that we'll soon have once-daily HIV integrase inhibitors in the clinic. Quad has been submitted for approval to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; I'd expect its approval before the end of the summer. Quad seems to address the limitations of efavirenz-based treatments, namely psychological side effects, but it may have a mild gastrointestinal side effect profile.
Dolutegravir data also was received with much interest, as it does not require pharmacologic boosting and might offer coformulation with either tenofovir (unlikely) or abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC, Epzicom, Kivexa) (probable, since ViiV manufactures both). The effect of both laboratory measurements of kidney function (creatinine) may be a source of confusion and the company will need to assist clinicians in understanding how to optimally evaluate this, particularly in light of the known, but relatively, rare rates of tenofovir-associated renal injury.
Both Quad and dolutegravir will be born into a treatment world with a growing concern regarding the price of medications and the impending availability of entirely generic preferred regimens. How Gilead and ViiV will deal with these challenges remains to be seen, but I hope for a day when the same innovation in the discovery of new drug molecules will apply to the production, distribution and pricing of HIV medicines.

Wow, 90 plus degrees for several hours eh. In your case I would seriously consider investing in a proper cooler box. They aren't that expensive, and you'll really get your money's worth out of it. Get some extra ice packs to go with it. You might consider putting some bottles of water or something in the freezer the night before to go in the cooler too, to keep yourself hydrated. Regular tap water in reusable bottles would do. We haul around a icy-water packed cooler like this in the heat of the summer when we are toodling around the hotter parts of this region, and believe me that cooler has really paid off! I think we paid like about US $25 for a pretty big one (it holds at least 4 2-litre bottles of water), plus a couple of extra ice packs.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
My sister usually packs a cooler with ice packs, one frozen bottle, and one unfrozen bottle of water in the trunk of her car (she goes back and forth from school and clinicals 12-14 hours a day), and it works for her. She does not have a huge cooler it is about 1' x 1.5' x 1', and I think it was about $10-$15.
What she found she really liked were fancy salads, but you just have to make sure it is not too close to anything frozen otherwise the lettuce gets funky.
My recipe suggestion would be Gazpacho (you can eat it with those PB sandwiches if you like).
It can be kept in an insulated thermos flask, so should stay pleasantly cool even after several hours in that ridiculous heat (I'm not sure what a thermos or vacuum flask is called in the US, it's an insulated container that keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold)
Measurements don't have to be exact and you can go adjusting them to your taste. As long as you have a blender/liquidiser it is really quick and simple to prepare. Here's my version, it's based on what was taught to me by a friend's mother from Granada in Andalucía.
4-5 medium/large tomatoes - the riper the better
1 small cucumber or half a large one
1 bell pepper, deseeded - preferably red or green, but orange or yellow will do.
a small slice of onion (you can use a shallot or some scallions/spring onions if you prefer). - A little goes a LONG way
Half a garlic clove (a whole one if it's very small) - Again, a very noticeable flavour.
1 chunk of stale/hard bread (or fresh bread slightly toasted or half a cup of toasted/sauted breadcrumbs)
Plenty of olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
a dash of wine, cider or rice vinegar
cold water/ice cubes
Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and bell pepper into pieces, cut up the onion and garlic also. Put them all into the blender, add approximately an inch of the olive oil, a small dribble of vinegar (be very careful not to add too much vinegar, you can always add more later), a teaspoon or two of salt and blitz the lot until smooth.
Add some cold water to the stale/toasted bread to soften and add this to the liquidised vegetables (or just cool the breadcrumbs and add them). Add 4 or 5 ice cubes. Blitz again.
Taste the result. If it's too thick, add more ice cubes. Adjust vinegar, salt and olive oil to taste.
Shake the flask before serving.
Once you've got the hang of it and know how many ice cubes you need to get it to the right consistency, keep some of the ice cubes whole in the flask - it will keep the gazpacho ice cold for longer. The ideal way might be to make the gazpacho a little thicker than you require the night before and keep it in the refrigerator (the flavours will mature this way). Add some ice cubes when you pour it into the insulated container the next morning. Be sure not to add too much water as the result becomes insipid.
Watch out for the onion and garlic as both these ingredients are quite potent, if you don't like either of them, don't use them. Then again, you may want more.
You can eat it with a spoon if you like. I usually drink it.
At the height of a Spanish summer (temperatures regularly reach 100F and above) this is sometimes the only thing I can bear to eat in the middle of the day. For me it's survival food. Mercifully, it takes me under 5 minutes to prepare.
My mum first soaks the bread in the vinegar and then mix everything and process it but I guess the result will be the same.
I love gazpacho!!! I'm waiting for summer so I'll make big gazpacho batches so I can have some everyday! :D
My bento blog: http://justbento.com/blog/1305
My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
Speaking about gazpacho, there is a brand that makes the BEST pre-made gazpacho ever. It's called "Alvalle", I recall seeing it outside Spain but I'm not sure. You should try it because it's almost like home-made. Really!
Out of the commercially available pre-made gazpacho, I'd agree this is the best (it's that marvellous Murcian produce they use!). It's the same gazpacho MacDonalds use in Spain.
It can be found in the UK, one supplier is Brindisa where it costs about GBP6.50 a litre (about 7.5Euros). It's slightly cheaper from http://www.partridges.co.uk/ at £5.95. (You can find it from websites selling mail order to North America, but it costs more than $20 a litre this way!)
I tend to have this Alvalle (now part of the Tropicana empire) product most if I'm in Spain for the summer but staying outside of Alicante in a hotel or apartment without a kitchen/liquidiser/blender. I honestly find that gazpacho is so easy and quick and cheap to make that paying £6 or more is too much of an extravagance (and my recipe is better anyway! :D). But I would strongly recommend that any British based readers NOT try British brands of pre-made gazpacho. I've tried some made by Marks and Spencers and the New Convent Garden Food Company, both were vile.
your recipe is BETTER??? aw you are my goddess! Alvalle gazpacho tastes almost exactly the same as the one my mum prepares! O_oU
I usually buy it pre-made... but you're right it's way cheaper here... also, my husband doesn't really like it so i prefer not cooking it just for myself! :)
Any chance you would share your recipe? I miss Alvalle gazpacho like crazy and nothing I've had in the states has measured up.
Speaking of cold soup, borsch is eaten cold in the summer months (I usually had it with a mashed up hard-boiled egg). I don't like it , but I thought I would throw it out there in case someone does.
That gazpacho sounds great; I've never made it before, but may be tempted now.
It's a very fresh food and it's great for summer. My mother makes it almost everyday from may to september... but that's mostly because of my brother's addiction to gazpacho, lol!
It's also a great way to eat lots of raw veggies that you don't like (like green peppers!).
But beware it's not that "diet" food since it has bread on it!
For a simple thing, i would stay away from things like mayo and cheeses, dressing, etc. Simple foods will keep the best. I mean, think of apples - they won't spoil if kept warm, and you can spritz lemon on them to keep them from getting brown. Grapes will be alright as well, and if you use hard crusty bread rolls like mini ciabattas and keep it separate from ANYTHING that might get it wet, it will be fine too.
You can also probably stand to use butter for things, like butter a roll and have fruits or some really dry veggies and leafy greens that are well dried.
I think the key is to keep all moisture out of it and make sure anything cooked has a LOT of time to cool down completely so it will not make any moisture or condensation.
You could also line your bento with parchment to make sure there is a bit of a barrier to the plastic so the food doesnt have a chance to make moisture?
Just some thoughts.
I'm not sure parchment would help, since the moisture would be coming from the food.
I think a food thermos would be worth investing in. If you got a big compartmented one, you could even keep ice in one of the compartments in order to keep it cool.
Me and the creature both have huge compartmented insulated food flasks from lakeland that Mum and I found on sale. They don't sell those anymore, but there are plenty of alternatives out their, probably of a more realistic size.

Forest Paper Company, Yarmouth, ca. 1900Item 67657 info
Yarmouth Historical Society
In 1923, after 51 years of operation, Forest Paper Co. closed due to new, more efficient paper production methods.
Five years later, the president of Yarmouth's Chamber of Commerce, Walter E. Fels, brought hopes of the American Industrial Co. occupying the old mill location. The Philadelphia-based company was supposed to employ 70 men and produce folding boxes and heavy, stiff cardboard boxes, but the plan was never put into effect.
In 1931, three years after the mill was expected to reopen, nearly all of the mill's buildings burned, erasing its silhouette from this landscape.

In Russia a man born again. In a video you can see how the pedestrian attempting to cross the highway recklessly tries to avoid on-coming traffic on one avenue, running from side to side of the street.
When passing a vehicle, which his passenger recorded the video, the man did not notice that another car exceeded at full speed, trying to stop, but it was not enough, the right mirror of the car struck the pedestrian who fell in the middle of the road .
Miraculously, the man gets up and returns to the side of the highway

Hello Brothers & Sisters of SA
Since it's the offseason we're going to experiment alittle. As far as the vBookie stuff goes, considering that all there really is to bet on right now is Baseball, which is not a big draw anyways, we're going to temporarily suspend the betting on games. The interest in betting on games in other sports, in the NFL offseason, is generally low anyways since it's spring & summer and people are out with families on vacation, doing things outside, etc. The main reason for doing this is because we don't like to see sections of the site not being used to their potential. Since the bookie stuff is in a slow time right now we're going to take it down for awhile and do some revamping of it most likely too, and then bring it back in September.
Save up your SA Gold cuz we'll be bringing back this feature once the season starts back up! Any questions please let me know! In the mean time, we'll be taking down the SA Casino section of the forums sometime tonight most likely.
Thanks all for being a part of SA!!

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said today that both backers and opponents of Roe v. Wade should support SB 92, a bill that would require a doctor to be available for an in-person consultation one day prior to performing an abortion.
"Backers of Roe v. Wade frequently talk about abortion as a decision between a woman and her physician," said Fr.Pavone, "but the abortionist and the woman are strangers. Her physician is not involved. There's a gap between the rhetoric and the reality of what happens in an abortion clinic. SB 92 simply highlights the enormity of that gap."
SB 92 will be voted upon Wednesday by the South Dakota state Senate Health and Human Services Committee.Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Over a thousand Latvians on Saturday commemorated Nazi-allied World War II soldiers while police used force to prevent violence from erupting between participants and ethnic Russians, who are a minority in the country.
Many Latvians consider March 16, or Legionnaires Day, an opportunity to commemorate war veterans, while Russians see it as an attempt to glorify fascism and whitewash a black chapter in Latvia's history.
Latvia, which gained its independence after World War I, was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, then by Nazi Germany a year later, and again by the Soviets in 1944. During the Nazi occupation thousands of Latvians were forcibly conscripted into the Waffen SS divisions, and many Latvians consider them to be heroes who fought for independence from communism.
Some 250,000 Latvians fought alongside either the Germans or the Soviets, with approximately 150,000 eventually dying in battles.
Nearly 80,000 Jews, or 90 percent of Latvia's prewar Jewish population, were killed in 1941-42, or before the formation of the Latvian Waffen SS units. This, claim many Latvians, shows the unit did not have a role in the Holocaust.
On Saturday, the Latvians walked from a cathedral in downtown Riga, the nation's capital, to lay flowers at the nearby Freedom Monument, where they were met by a small group of protesters.
Like in previous years, those protesting the commemoration hung pictures of the Holocaust on a mock death camp fence, but this time they used two large speakers to blare an air-raid siren, Russian language music, and finally a list of crimes committed in Latvia during World War II.
The cacophony incensed a handful of commemoration participants, including nationalist lawmakers Raivis Dzintars and Janis Dombrava, who approached protesters and tried to tear down the photographs.
Police dragged the participants away, and an additional group of riot police was summoned to surround protesters and force them to turn off the speakers.
Police said four people were detained at Saturday's event.

To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in two risk groups, stored serum samples from treated haemophiliacs and intravenous drug users were tested for anti-HCV by both anti-C-100 based and second generation ELISAs (Abbott and Ortho) followed by testing in two confirmatory immunoblot assays that incorporate core as well as other non-structural antigens (Innogenetics LIA and Chiron RIBA-HCV test). Clear evidence of HCV infection was found in all but one of 78 haemophiliacs treated with non-virus inactivated clotting factor concentrates, but in none exposed only to super dry heat-treated concentrates. Only four samples gave rise to conflicting serological results between the four tests, two of these occurred in patients with advanced HIV related disease and almost certainly reflected loss of humoral immunity associated with disease progression, and the others occurred in the only two patients tested who were chronic carriers of hepatitis B infection and may reflect an interaction between the two viruses. Comparison of anti-C-100 versus second generation tests in immunocompetent drug users revealed a false negative rate of 20% using C-100 alone, indicating the advantage of using second generation assays for detection of past or current HCV infection. Of all of the antigens used in the confirmatory assay, positive sera showed strongest and most frequent reactivity with the C22 and C33c proteins (Ortho RIBA).

Of 10,633 blood donations tested in three regional blood transfusion centres with two commercial first generation screening assays for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), 65 (0.61%) were found to be repeatedly reactive in one or both assays. Five of the 65 were confirmed positive by recombinant immunoblot assay (Ortho RIBA-2) and a further 4 were judged indeterminate. All 5 RIBA-2 positive donations and 1 of the 4 RIBA-2 indeterminates were shown to be viraemic by HCV-RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays performed at three independent reference laboratories. The remaining 56 screen test reactive donations proved negative by RIBA-2 and, with 1 exception, negative by PCR. We conclude that while first generation anti-HCV screening assays generate a high proportion of false reactions when screening low prevalence populations, results of the RIBA-2 confirmatory test correlate well with PCR findings and thus indirectly with both hepatitis C viraemia and infectivity.
Using a double polymerase chain reaction a method was devised for detecting and subtyping hepatitis B virus DNA in serum samples. Primers from the S-gene were selected from the sequence analyses of five HBV HBsAg subtypes, to amplify HBV DNA and subtype for y specific DNA. Thirty-eight samples were subtyped for d and y determinants by radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Subtyping by PCR and RIPA was in agreement in 100% of subtype y samples and 83.3% of subtype d, giving an overall correlation of 92.1%. As a third comparison, 12 amplified samples were digested by the restriction enzyme Sau 3A, which differentiates between subtypes y and d. The digest results agreed with PCR in 83.3% of the samples. In addition, we compared our standard phenol/chloroform extraction against a rapid one step method. The phenol/chloroform stage was found to be essential for the removal of nucleases and polymerase inhibitors present in sera.

Markers of immune function present before infection may determine the subsequent course of disease in HIV-infected individuals. In 1983, we measured immune function in a group of haemophiliacs in Edinburgh. In 1984, 18 of these patients became infected with HIV-1 from contaminated factor VIII. We have followed-up these patients since their seroconversion. The rate of disease progression, as assessed by the appearance or not of AIDS symptoms or signs within five years of seroconversion, was related both to the concentration of total plasma IgM before exposure to infection and to the pattern of specific IgM and IgA anti-HIV response around the time of IgG seroconversion. Disease progression also correlated with concentrations of plasma interleukin-2 receptor (a marker of lymphocyte activation) and with the number and percentage of circulating DR + ve (activated) T cells. Our findings show that the extent of host immune reactivity, which may be genetically determined, is a powerful factor in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated disease.
A common problem in dogs and cats is ear infections. A consistent cause of recurring ear infections is an underlying allergy called atopy . Another name for atopy is allergic dermatitis. Food allergies are also a cause of this recurring ear infection. Some pets have both as the cause.
There are many different causes and numerous treatment regimens to effecta cure. Since the causes tend to be multifactorial we need to address all of them for a successful outcome. Dogs tend to have more of a problem with ear infections as compared to cats.
Hygiene is of major importance both in curing the problem and prevention of recurrence. Ear infections can easily become chronic in nature, so proper therapy early in the course of the disease is important, along with long term commitment to keeping the ears clean.
Long term problems with the external ear can progress to problems with middle (otitis media) and inner (otitis interna) ears. This can cause substantial pain, equilibrium problems, and even hearing loss.
Dogs and cats ears differ from human ears in several significant ways. The main difference is the shape and length of the ear canal. It is longer in animals and has a downward and then inward direction. Alaso, their ears are more sensitive than ours. Cleaning them requires more effort than in people.
This picture shows normal dog and cat ear canal anatomy. The arrows show the downward and inward path of the external ear canal. The tip of the arrow to the left is pointing to the ear drum. When you clean the ears you will gently be pulling up on the external ear to straighten this canal out and allow deeper penetration of medication.
A normal dog ear has glands lining it they contain cilia to remove normal debris. This self cleaning mechanism works well for a healthy ear, not so well for an inflamed and infected ear. Cleaning this debris out of the ear canal is imperative for the bodies normal cleaning mechanism to work.
Pets commonly give their owners a clue that their ears are bothering them. Most pets will either have discharge, odor, or will be shaking their head. Sometimes the ear flap will become extremely swollen-this is called an aural hematoma . Pets that have a foreign body in their ear like a fox tail will be shaking their head extensively and frequently paw at the effectedear.
A weekly podcast about development and design through the lens of amazing books, chapter-by-chapter. We do our best to be code-agnostic but we talk a lot about Rails, JavaScript, React, React Native, design, business and startups.
John: Welcome to Iteration: A weekly podcast about programming, development, and design through the lens of amazing books, chapter-by-chapter.
JP: Chapter 6 "While you are coding" Summary / Introduction - In this section, we will be discussing the things a programmer thinks about during the process of coding.
The section kicks off by talking about how coding is not a mechanical process. Adjustments must be made while we code. It's largely driving a car. Our brain goes into auto-pilot - however, an attentive driver is always assessing the current situation. Is someone about to cross the street? Etc.
JP: really funny metaphor about a solider coming to a false conclusion in a minefield. "As developers, we also work in minefields."
You can't know why something is broken if you didn't know why it worked in the first place
John: It's easy to assume that X causes Y, but as we've said - don't assume it, prove it.
John: Be deliberate.
JP: Basically, big O stuff: constant, logarithmic, linear, exponential. Use a greedy approach when you can. Try to think about how you can do something in a single pass. But always remember the context. Maybe your data isn't so large that an exponential algorithm is just fine for the sake of readability.
"Pragmatic programmers try to cover both the theoretical and practical bases. After all this estimating, the only timing that counts is the speed of your code, running in the prod env. with real data."
John: If I have a super slow method or view it's usually because I need a new object or attribute.
JP: "Be wary of premature optimization. It's always a good idea to make sure an alg really is a bottleneck before investing your precious time trying to improve it"
John: In general: Tests pass - I ship. I'd rather just throw more Dyno's at my methods than too much time optimizing.
JP: browserstack.com John: Postman - specifcally SET UP ENVIROMENTS
John: Greedy Algorithms
Rely only on reliable things. Beware of accidental complexity, and don't confuse a happy coincidence with a purposeful plan
Get a feel for how long things are likely to take before you write code
Mathematical analysis of algorithms doesn't tell you everything. Try timing your code in its target environmentappsignal

CHICAGO – A tour bus company has agreed to pay $6.7 million to the family of a woman struck and killed by a driver who authorities say had cocaine in his system.
Twenty-six-year-old Justyna Palka was struck in May 2011 while crossing a street in the near North Side neighborhood of Streeterville.
The diver, 47-year-old David Soto, remains in jail and faces an aggravated DUI charge as well as other, unrelated charges.
The woman's family sued the bus company, Pontarelli Group Charter, alleging it was negligent and failed to carry out background checks when hiring the driver.
The family's attorneys said Wednesday the company also agreed to give $500 a year to a memorial scholarship fund at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where Palka had studied.

Lego Is Not Just For Kids Anymore

Reading List
The importance of information radiators and informative workspace is unquestioned in Agile. Scrum and XP have enough visual indicators like whiteboards, flip charts, burndown charts, build status lamps etc. so that the information is highlighted as soon as it is gathered for easy consumption.
Michael Hunger and Takeshi Kakeda take this idea a bit further by using Lego blocks to track time spent on various projects and bug tracking. According to them it is both effective and fun.
Michael Hunger discovered the Lego way of time tracking when he was trying to find a solution for visually depicting and planning the time spent on various projects in a week. Michael represented each column on the base as a ruler on which he could stack the hours. He represented each hour as an aggregation of 4 studs of Lego, each stud representing quarter of an hour. So if the first hour was spent on 2 projects then it would have 2 studs of 2 colors on the first row. Each project is represented with a different color.
On similar lines Takeshi Kakeda presented about the use of Lego blocks in doing effective bug tracking at Agile 2008.The bugs were represented as Lego blocks on the board with priority being represented horizontally, dependency between bugs represented by stacking them vertically and the difficulty represented by the shape. Some of the benefits that Takeshi observed were that bugs were intuitively visible and mindset of the developers changed from negative to positive. Also, given the physical constraint of the board on which bugs could be placed new bugs could not be added unless the earlier ones were resolved, thus making it necessary to resolve existing bugs faster.
Thus use of Lego blocks has gone further from just being present in a kids play basket to being used as effective information radiator in the Agile environment.

A side note... is it common for others to track tasks down to 1/4 hr?
May be some consultants need to do it on the basis of multiple projects that they are working on. For me a one hour slot is kind of manageable
Re: Legos not for kids, and a question
Michael Hunger
We even continued our journey into LegoLand.
The next things I plan are integrating a webcam into the time tracking board for automatic recording of the brick columns (similar things (but oriented in the wrong direction have been build by databrick.de.
The next great thing (tm) is printing onto lego bricks. I was looking for ways to increase the available colors for the time tracking (especially when extended to task tracking on agile projects). So my neighbor Mattcher and me came to the conclusion that just printing onto lego walls is the solution. See this blog entry for first impressions.
I'm continuing my efforts on finding a proper name for this time tracking. A lot of names have been proposed by
Lifehacker readers and commenters to my blog. Istarted a poll on that on my blog
Perhaps I should present that at JAOO in two weeks :)
Regarding the quarter hour question. My current client requires all his contributors to track the time at that level. So thats not necessarily my choice (besides if you have a half hour task which crosses the hour boundary you still need to break it up for display in the two rows).
Re: Legos not for kids, and a question

A mature team could probably eliminate some waste by estimating at a larger granularity. If they say they cannot, I'd see a red flag and look for too much multitasking.

The Lily's Revenge—A Flowergory Manifold
Taylor Mac may just be alternative theater's answer to Orson Welles. He conceptualized, wrote both libretto and lyrics for, and stars in this lollapalooza fable for the modern age…and is equally adept at all these crafts. Four years, four grants, forty performers and an unimaginable number of sequins went into the creation of this completely unique and surprising mix. In parts burlesque, Noh play, vaudeville, puppet theater, dance, film, verse tale, tableaux vivant and site specific installation, The Lily's Revenge is both an adventure in which one participates and a spectacle one attends.
The Lily—yes, he's a flower-in a pot! (a sympathetic and compelling Mr. Mac) desperately wants to become a man in order to wed "Bride Hopeful" (Amelia Zirin-Brown AKA Lady Rizo in a genially wacky Fanny Brice turn) who is "teetering on the edge of a little too late." He is aided on his quest by Time/ Wind (the sinuous and portentous Miss Bianca Leigh) and thwarted by her son, the Great Longing, God of Nostalgia, James Tigger! Ferguson, who is not only a terrific actor-as a curtain! (Disney, eat your heart out!) but also performs one of the most memorable, sensuous, comic stripteases you will ever be privileged see.
En route, our hero is ambushed not so much in, as by a garden of flowers (Ziegfeld on drugs) who manage (in perfect verse and competitive haiku) to enlist his help against the God of Nostalgia. This involves a trip to an Ecuadorian plant "factory" and the freeing of the dirt…so flowers may revenge themselves against the ravages of conventional sentimentality…all in time to get back to Bride Hopeful before she settles for/marries your basic hairy grunter. Got all that?
Diverse musical genres include fifties rock n' roll, kitschy Latin night club, operetta and a Broadway star turn. Composer Rachelle Garniez seems able to write pretty much in any style with flair. Arranger Matt Ray serves her artistry well as does a small, extremely talented band. Mac's lyrics, like his libretto, are intellect disguised as camp. Integrating such as Heigel, Joseph Campbell, Medieval myth, Susan Stewart's "On Longing," and The Olive Fairy Book, he displays the unusual talent of keeping his tongue firmly planted in his cheek while never seeming facile. (There's a small room called "Contexts" in which these and other inspirational resources can be perused.) The singing is either very good or good enough to carry the fun along.
Derrick Little's sparkling, inspired make-up and Machine Dazzle's wonderfully loony costumes are a match made in Mardi Gras heaven—at the same time extravagant, purposefully tacky, completely imaginative, sexy and ingeniously functional. The various curtains and curtain costumes are extremely inventive. Emily Decola's puppet could simply not be imagined otherwise.
Our guide to this fanciful parable is "The World Famous *BOB* Card Girl," a Reubenesque burlesque diva and downtown celebrity in her own rite, who manages to buoy, logistically direct (every time we leave the theater, seats are rearranged) and draw the evening's group together with great good humor and superior sass (not in the narrative, but during the breaks)
Mac purposefully eliminates "the fourth wall." There are Greek Chorus-like readings of dialogue by the audience as well as an invitation to dance with the players in a celebration "nightmare within the dream ballet." We are encouraged, as well, to fraternize with each other and the cast between acts at a "Discussion Disco" created from a downstairs dressing room—a mirrored ball, music and dancing set the scene beside make-up tables and costume racks. (There are additional intermission diversions all over the two story space, including in the rest rooms where I was fortunate to hear the Lily sing "a song we flushed from the show," accompanied on his ukulele.)
The show would benefit from editing. Two acts speed by. We're engrossed in the story, captivated and entertained by the characters; it's a visual feast. A manic third act adds nothing to the narrative that couldn't be accomplished in an additional ten minutes of the second act. (The third act actually felt like filler). The fourth act, a darkly comic silent film utilizing perverse dolls, while ingenious, slows a joyful momentum. The fifth act is crammed with so much unexpected action, uncensored expression, opposing force, bombast, exposition; color, glitter and all-out-finale, it's like the exhilaration of rolling down a hill.
As it is, this unconventional and extraordinary saga occupies some three and a half hours unfolding in five acts, helmed by six different directors. Three intermissions offer time in which one may eat or drink in the café/bar, talk to the players, enjoy mini performances or take a breath of fresh air. A total commitment of almost five hours may daunt all but the most intrepid theatergoers. Be intrepid.
The Lily's Revenge is an amalgam of performing communities and talent rarely seen together in one theatrical effort. It's a rollicking anthem for individuality and relationship against the odds of the tradition-bound "modern" world. Its creator calls it "highbrow done in a drag show."
With an open mind and some stretching between acts, the ambition, style and cleverness of the evening carries one out into the autumn night tired, but pleased.
Note: In the intentional atmosphere of gender ambiguity and social comment, there's an increasing amount of varied and flamboyant sex portrayed. Some of this is fitting buffoonery or political observation. Some is gratuitous. (Be aware, there is on stage nudity in the second half.)

BBC America's "Whitechapel" premiered in October with style, wit and great performances that helped it rise above its police procedural cliches and a plot device—the investigation of copycat killers—that I feared would wear thin in subsequent seasons.
I'm pleased to report that creators/writers Ben Court and Caroline Ip and exec producer Sally Woodward Gentle have tweaked that gimmick ever so slightly, making "Whitechapel" (9 p.m. March 28, BBC America; 3.5 stars) fresh yet familiar in Season 2. Instead of probing copycat killers, the police squad uses past crimes to give them clues about those they are investigating.
"What if you could have 200 years of experience? What kind of detective could you be?" Detective Inspector Joseph Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) asks his grizzled detective sergeant, Ray Miles (Phil Davis).
Miles, ever so dry, says he'd be looking forward to retirement.
Over Miles' protests, Chandler hires a researcher fans will recognize: Edward Buchan (Steve Pemberton), the amateur crime historian Chandler first met when his squad was investigating copycat Jack the Ripper killings in the first season. Buchan notices certain similarities between the 1812 Ratcliff Highway murders and a current string of murders that have happened in a locked store, house and apartment.
As was the case in the 17th century, the impossibility of a murderer getting into the locked locations and his seemingly magical disappearance afterward has the populace freaking out, believing that some kind of ghostly killer is stalking London's East End.
That case takes up the first two episodes of the six-episode season. It's followed by two more cases in which Buchan and Chandler study the Marquis de Sade, the Thames Torso murders of 1887-89 and the legend of "The Bogeyman" for clues to help solve their cases.
One historical crime they examine is of special significance to Chicago viewers: In the second two-part story, which begins April 11, they reference H.H. Holmes, commonly referred to as America's first serial killer, who preyed on guests staying at his Englewood hotel during the 1893 World's Fair Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
Part of the fun of "Whitechapel" is delving into the past with the characters, but it's also a pleasure to watch these actors play with their characters' distinct quirks, from Chandler's obsessive neatness to Buchan's off-putting enthusiasm to Miles' amusing desire to push Chandler into the dating scene.
His "date" lends some lighter moments—at least for viewers—to this dark, murderous world.

Nashua aldermen sign off on new SUVs for policeBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 12. 2014 11:44PM
NASHUA — An aldermanic panel this week supported the purchase of nine sport utility vehicles for the city's police force as it attempts to convert its fleet away from traditional cruisers.
While Police Chief John Seusing said he was content with the current Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors the department now utilizes, the popular cruisers are no longer in production.
Forced to find an alternative vehicle, members of the police department tested four different vehicles as a possible replacement, eventually recommending the 2014 Ford Police Interceptor Utility All-Wheel Drive vehicles.
"Many other agencies are starting to go with these utility vehicles," Seusing said recently, noting the Londonderry Police Department has changed its fleet to SUVs, and Massachusetts State Police are in the process of converting their fleet as well.A detailed presentation on the suggested SUVs was shared with city aldermen recently. On Tuesday, the aldermanic Finance Committee voted in support of purchasing nine SUVs at a cost of $283,340, which includes equipment installation. Before the equipment installation, the cost of each vehicle is about $25,000 but closer to $31,500 after the installation.
There was little discussion by the committee prior to its vote.
Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said the existing blue lights displayed on the Crown Victorias will be used for the new SUVs. The Crown Victorias being replaced are all 2011 models with about 100,000 miles, although two of the cars have been totaled.
The new vehicles will be purchased through the State of Massachusetts Greater Boston Police Council.The utility vehicle was chosen as the department's top pick because of its handling, performance, visibility, accessibility, safety features and reliability, Seusing said earlier. With 4,500 arrests made each year in the city, he said, it is essential to have a police vehicle that is cooperative, low to the ground, stable and pursuit-rated.Other benefits include all-wheel drive, rear cameras and rear sensors, he added.

Memorial arrangements have been announced for a teenage lifelong area resident killed as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident near an on-ramp to the Taconic State Parkway in Pleasant Valley on Nov. 18.
Calling hours for 18-year-old Nolan Bryce Evanicki of Poughkeepsie will be held on Sunday, Nov. 26 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., at 895 Route 82 in Hopewell Junction. Since he loved superheroes and all things WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), his family asks that you come to calling hours in your favorite superhero shirt or wrestling shirt.
A funeral service will be held on Monday, Nov. 27 at 11 a.m. at the funeral home followed by burial at St. Peter's Cemetery in Poughkeepsie.
Nolan was born on Sept. 25, 1999 in Poughkeepsie. He was a 2017 graduate of Arlington High School and was currently a student at Dutchess Community College.
Nolan lived life with curiosity and kindness. His quick wit and bright smile lit-up any room he entered, which is why his parents affectionately called him "Sunshine."
Nolan loved the WWE and comic book superheroes, but he was a hero to many who had so little. He enjoyed spending time with his family, his girlfriend, and his friends.
Nolan is survived by his mother, Melissa Evanicki of Poughkeepsie; his father, Michael Todd Evanicki of Pleasant Valley; his brothers, Brandon Clark, Dylan Evanicki, Michael Evanicki, and Kamron Evanicki; his grandparents, Mary Clark and Michael and Karen Evanicki; his girlfriend, Alyssa Rose Barger; his aunts and uncles, Meredith Clark Halla, Eddie Clark, Toni Clark, Michelle and Hilton Clark, Brett Evanicki, and Zach Evanicki; and many cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, William Clark, Sharon Evanicki, and Vincent Cavalieri.
According to state police, an eastbound vehicle on Route 44 made a left hand turn to enter the Taconic State Parkway on-ramp in front of a westbound vehicle.
Nolan Evanicki was extricated from his car by Pleasant Valley Fire Department and pronounced deceased on scene, according to police.
The investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is ongoing and investigators ask any witnesses to please contact Troop K, SP Poughkeepsie BCI, at (845) 677-7300.
Donations may be in Nolan's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Please visit Nolan's Book of Memories at www.mchoulfuneralhome.com .

Is Dealing with Opengl ES 2 worth the trouble?
I'm just starting iphone game development, and I was wondering if dealing with the added complexity of Opengl ES 2 is worth it if you arent planning on using any of the new features? The game wont be very graphics intense so any added performance by OpenGL ES 2 may not be neccessary, and it's not going to be using any fancy shaders. There is a nice tutorial on 71squared.com that walks you through the proccess of taking the OpenGl ES template from Xcode 4 and converting it from using version 2 back into version 1. I'm planning to follow this tutorial as I dont think version 2 is neccessary, and I have a tutorial book that uses version 1 that I also may use as neccessary. I was just wondering if there are any other reasons to consider using the newer version 2 of OpenGl ES even when the added features aren't neccessary? (As an added bonus, is a viewcontroller needed for an openGL project? As far as im concerned it may only add more complexity, as i wanted my project to stay away from the UI stuff as much as possible for concistencies sake, even not using a MainWindow nib file. But does a viewController add any needed feature support, such as help with device orientation, memory management, or different devices [iphone vs. ipad]?) And if you've reached this point, thx for staying with me

Shaders give you a lot more control over what you're rendering, and the potential for better performance than ES1's fixed function pipeline. Learning GLSL and ES2's patterns will make you a better OpenGL programmer in general. That said, as far as I know, ES1 is still a perfectly viable choice if you don't need the fancy stuff.
Alright thanks for the reply. I'll stick with version 1 for my first project, as I'm new to development and it's simpler to use. But I will definetly try out version 2 later to keep up with progression.

But does anyone have some input for my second question?

Quote:is a viewcontroller needed for an openGL project?
strictly speaking I don't think so, I got away without one for months.... but now I'm reaching the end of the project I wanted to add a 'mail a link to this game to your friends button' and I found that in order to use an MFMailComposeViewController I need to set a view controller as a delegate so I plopped on in to the code for that sole reason.
Oh ok, thats true, modal viewcontrollers do need a delegate to another view controller to be presented or dismissed. Thanks for that reason, that may needed, but I suppose it isnt too hard to squeeze a viewcontroller in if you dont have one.

a view controller is a good place to setup the timer, have the main loop and do odd stuff like changing chapters, restarting the game, handle touch, accelerator input and saving and restoring game state, etc.
iFrog is coming.
Thats true, I just thought you could still do that suff in the EAGLView. I' not entirely good on the relationship of viewcontrollers vs views, so I was asking if viewcontrollers have any specific advantages over view that may add specific features(such as device orientation and memory management). One good one is that modal viewcontrollers need a viewcontroller delegate to function. viewcontrollers can help with device orientation, but you can still do that in the EAGLView by modifying the projection matrix (i think thats the right matrix ).

One thing that's useful for handling the device orientation with the controller is that you can make it the whole view (EAGLView + HUD if you're using UI components for it) orientate automatically to how the user is holding the device.
iFrog is coming.
Yes, but im not planning on using UIKit elements over a EAGLView because that can slow performance quite a lot. I'm also trying to keep my game away from UIKit things as much as possible as i want to stick to c++ as much as possible to not overwhelm myself with Objective-C complications .

The new school year began early in September. We welcomed three new young ones + baby Freya to our community. Adding younger children to the community does wonders for gently urging the older children into the threshold of their next stage. Yet, it's always something to be moved by -- at how fast we grow (physically, mentally, emotionally, socially). In two short years, the oldest children have transitioned from young preschoolers to experienced five year olds and their relationship with the world is vastly more sophisticated than that of their younger siblings and schoolmates. Still, an older child's ability to connect with a younger child is deep and seems to me to be what community is all about. There is a lot to be learned in developing empathy, responsibility, independence, inner discipline, and kindness on all ends of the spectrum. Adults guide the way always trying to model these important virtues but our role should be, as often as possible, situated quietly along the parameter of the children's world.
We began the school year with a message of peace, love, and family. Some of our favorite books to read were these:
The older children have especially enjoyed chapters from here.
Playtime in the backyard has seen a lot of Milly Molly Mandy inspiration which is pretty adorable to witness in this day and age.
We enjoyed this verse by Mahatma Gandhi:
"I offer you peace.
I offer you love.
I offer you friendship.
I see your beauty.
I hear your need.
I feel your feelings.
My wisdom flows from the highest Source.
I salute that Source in you.
Let us work together. For unity and peace."
One of our favorite songs has been Love Grows.
Love grows one by one, two by two, and four by four.
Love grows round like a circle and it comes by knocking at your front door.
Let me take your hand my friend. We'll each take the hand of another.
One by one, we'll reach around the world to our sisters and brothers.
Repeat Chorus
This sweet song has inspired our love of yoga movement too!
In late September we practiced being millers and bakers. We grinded over four cups of flour and baked bread.
We read:
As we usher in Autumn, we've been enjoying these songs and rhymes at our circle time:
It's golden in the treetops.
It's golden in the sky.
It's golden, golden, golden, September is passing by.
Pitty patty polt.
Shoe my little colt.
Here a nail, there a nail,
Pitty, patty polt.
When I was a farmer I sowed the wheat, sowed the wheat.
When I was a farmer I sowed the wheat today, sowed the wheat today.
When I was a farmer, I mowed the wheat, mowed the wheat.
When I was a farmer, I mowed the wheat, mowed the wheat today.
When I was a farmer I threshed the wheat, threshed the wheat.
When I was a farmer I threshed the wheat, threshed the wheat today.
When I was a miller I ground the wheat, ground the wheat.
When I was a miller I ground the wheat, ground the wheat today.
When I was a baker, I stirred the bread, stirred the bread.
When I was a baker, I stirred the bread, stirred the bread today.
When I was a baker, I baked the bread, baked the bread.
When I was a baker I baked the bread, baked the bread today.
Here is the farmer, sturdy and strong --
Listen to his merry song:
Soon it will be harvest time,
Let's sharpen our tools and make them shine!
Sharpen the sickle, sharpen the scythe
For cutting the wheat when the wheat is ripe.
We carry our scythes into the field
To see what this year's harvest will yield.
Swing your scythe, swing again.
Downward falls the golden grain.
As soon as the weather cools down a bit, we'll forge ahead with lots of fun and songs about acorns, apples, pumpkins, and leaves. But for now, we'll enjoy the breeze and warm days of our Indian summer, the opportunity to get the garden growing strong for the winter, sow our wildflower seeds for our spring meadow, and just enjoy being together.
As always, thank you for the opportunity to live, grow, love, and play alongside your children.
