|Condition or disease
|Pneumonia, Pneumocystis Carinii HIV Infections
|Drug: Trimetrexate glucuronate Drug: Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim Drug: Leucovorin calcium
|Phase 3
New treatments are needed to reduce the mortality rate from PCP in AIDS patients and to reduce the high relapse rate found after conventional therapy. Trimetrexate (TMTX) was chosen for this trial because it was found to be much more potent than sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) against the PCP organism in laboratory tests. Also TMTX, in combination with leucovorin (LCV), did not cause severe toxicity in a preliminary trial. It is believed that TMTX will be more effective in treating PCP and in preventing a recurrence of PCP.
Patients entered in the study are randomly assigned to trimetrexate / leucovorin (TMTX / LCV) or to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) for a 21-day trial. For the first 10 days, the trial is double-blind (neither patient nor physician knows which drugs the patient is receiving), and drugs are given by intravenous infusion. TMTX is given once every 24 hours and LCV every 6 hours; SMX/TMP is given every 6 hours. Doses are determined by body size. After the first 10 days, LCV and SMX/TMP may be given orally. Doses are adjusted or treatment is changed to intravenous pentamidine if side effects are too severe. During the 21-day trial, zidovudine (AZT) may not be used because of possible increased bone marrow toxicity. AZT may be resumed as soon as the patient's white cell count is acceptable. Drug therapy aimed at preventing recurrence of PCP is not allowed for a minimum of 4 weeks after the completion of study therapy.

Candia family displaced by chimney fireBy BRENDAN CLOGSTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 03. 2013 4:45PM
CANDIA - A chimney fire in the walls of their home New Year's Day has left a Candia family of four displaced, including two children, 14 and 16 years old.
James and Laura Vancour, their children, Serina Jean, 16, and a 14-year-old who has not been named, and their three dogs were left displaced after smoke damage from a partition fire on Critchett Road. The Vancours called 911 around 11:30 p.m. after seeing smoke escaping from their living room wall, which was adjacent to the fireplace. Materials inside the partition had been ignited by the chimney.
Candia Police Officer Kevin Mahoney, the first officer to respond, was able to make some holes in the wall and extinguish some of the flames. The fire department arrived soon afterward and took control, fully extinguishing the flames. They closed the scene just before 1 a.m., and no one was injured.
While the fire produced limited structural damage to the home, there was significant smoke damage. The toxicity produced from the residual soot has rendered the home uninhabitable. The family is currently staying in a hotel.
The American Red Cross was called Jan. 2 to provide assistance to the family. Volunteers from the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team met with the Vancours later that evening, providing financial assistance for food and clothing. According to the Red Cross, the family requested no assistance for shelter.
The American Red Cross Disaster Action team is composed of local volunteers throughout the state. Its members are trained to provide disaster victims with relief and emotional support.

P0547 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of P0547 engine trouble code is a kind of powertrain trouble code and P0547 if your catalytic convertor fails completely, you eventually won't be able to keep the car running. Your gas mileage will also be terrible, so you should try and fix it as soon as you can. Unfortunately, the average replacement cost is around $2,140 and you can't do it yourself unless you're an experienced mechanic.
P0547 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for P0547 code is occuring now you should check P0547 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with P0547 code ?
The solution is here :
P0547 Possible Solution:
Disconnected, dirty or fouled spark plugs are common causes for engines that won't start. Spark plugs typically need to be replaced every season or 25 hours of use. You should also check that the spark plug gap is set properly. If your spark plugs look good, problems with your ignition system can also preventing a spark. These can range from a faulty spark plug lead, shorted kill switch or flywheel key damage.
P0547 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Fuel Composition Sensor Circuit Malfunction
|Injection lump Fuel Metering Control 'B' High (Cam/Rotor/Injector)
|Shift/Timing Solenoid Malfunction/ 3-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical
The catalytic converter has an oxygen sensor in front and behind it. When the vehicle is warm and running in closed loop mode, the upstream oxygen sensor waveform reading should fluctuate.
P0547 OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code DescriptionP0547 engine trouble code is about Shift/Timing Solenoid Malfunction/ 3-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical.
Main reason For P0547 CodeThe reason of P0547 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Fuel Composition Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
P0547 DTCs may also be triggered by faults earlier down the line. For example, a dirty MAF sensor might be causing the car to overcompensate in its fuel-trim adjustments. As a result, oxygen sensors are likely to report fuel mixture problems.

Support for Market Basket leaves board members on the sidelines
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
Gilford Engineer Steven Smith explains the latest conception of a new development along Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth on Thursday. (DAN SEUFERT/Union Leader Correspondent)
PLYMOUTH - Two planning board members took seats in the audience at their monthly meeting Thursday night, removing themselves from the board as a commercial developer detailed plans to build a Market Basket and other stores on 71 acres along Tenney Mountain Highway.
Board Chairman Mike Ahern and Vice Chairman John Randlett volunteered to recuse themselves from the presentation as official board members at the request of resident Gunnar Baldwin, despite the fact that the presentation by engineer Steven Smith of Gilford was a brief update on the plans that didn't require any board action.
At the beginning of the meeting, Baldwin made a request that town officials who had publicly voiced their support for the proposed development at Riverside Landing remove themselves from any town proceedings on the proposals.
Town Planner Sharon Penney accepted Baldwin's request and agreed that town officials will consider it. In case it is accepted, Ahern and Randlett stepped out of the presentation without discussion.
"They have both been very vocal in favor of the project," Baldwin said later. Neither board member disputed Baldwin's contention.
Town boards have not officially taken positions on the proposed 86,380-square-foot shopping center. McDonald's and Bank of New Hampshire have already received all but their final permits from the town to build in the two front lots of the property.
Gilford developer Mike McGinley, who is representing businesses who may want to build in Riverside Landing, said Market Basket has expressed strong interest in building a 60,000-square-foot store. At this point, there are two other retail spaces open in the development's plan, a 12,000-square-foot space and a 6,880-square-foot space.
McGinley said he has had conversations with several potential tenants for the other two spaces. He would not divulge the potential tenants' identities. "I will say I have had discussions with the state Liquor Commission," he said. There is already a liquor store on Tenney Mountain Highway at the end of a small mall.
There are no construction dates yet established for stores at Riverside Landing, as the plans are still preliminary, McGinley said.
Baldwin later said he is one of many in town against the development, in part because it is so near the Baker River, an "environmentally sensitive" part of town, he said. He and others sponsored warrant articles at town elections this year that might have slowed or stopped the development, but residents voted the articles down.
"I also don't think there's enough business here for two supermarkets there. There's already a Hannaford across the street," he said. "And I don't think we should be moving forward by taking business away from stores down the highway in Tilton."

It's virtually impossible to deny how important the Gran Turismo series is to PlayStation platforms. Over the course of nine core games – all developed by Sony-owned Japanese studio Polyphony Digital – the Gran Turismo franchise has sold around 70 million copies. That is a staggering number, made all the crazier when you consider that these games can only be played on PlayStation platforms.
What does all of that mean, exactly? Well, Gran Turismo is clearly a big deal. It's the best-selling racing series in the history of video games by a mile (pardon the pun), and Gran Turismo 6 is almost certain to pull similar numbers to other games in the series. So we thought we'd get you all caught up on Gran Turismo 6, since chances are if you own a PlayStation product, you care.
So, here's everything we know.
Gran Turismo 6 Officially Announced
We knew Gran Turismo 6 was in development back in 2010, but the game was officially revealed on May 15th following an official tease the week before.
Believe it or not, Gran Turismo 6 is a PlayStation 3 game. That's not to say it won't move to PS4 (see below for more), but it is to say that if you want to play it in 2013, you'll need to do so on your PS3. This isn't a huge surprise – Gran Turismo 5 is PS3's best-selling exclusive and there are some 75 million PS3s out there – but still, it was disappointing for those wanting to play it on a next-gen console.
Well, there's always Evolution Studio's DriveClub.
GT6 will come packing every car, track and more found in Gran Turismo 5, and a whole bunch more. You can try it out for yourself this July when a demo for it launches on PlayStation Network.
How Did We Get Here?
Gran Turismo 6 isn't new. It's been long-confirmed: Sony admitted it was in development back in November of 2010, mere months after GT5 launched to great critical and commercial success. In 2012, a crew from Polyphony Digital went to Bathurst to map the track there, and basically admitted it was for Gran Turismo 6.
Heck, it was even rumored that Gran Turismo would come to PS Vita, something still very much in the realm of possibility. (It would certainly be a system seller for the struggling handheld.)
But of course, the most convincing evidence that basically confirmed GT6's existence as a PlayStation 3 game in particular came from none other than Sony executive Michael Denny, when he candidly spoke about the game earlier this year. Of course, Sony wouldn't confirm it at the time, but Denny basically let the cat out of the bag.
And now, we know Gran Turismo 6 is real.
What About PlayStation 4?
So here's the thing: PlayStation 4 already has an exclusive racing game coming called DriveClub. With the rumors that GT6 would come to PS3, it made perfect sense that Sony wouldn't put both games out on the same system. After all, both games are simulation-style racers with heavily overlapping audiences. And frankly, Gran Turismo 6 would very likely cannibalize DriveClub's sales.
But worry not. In a conversation with famous Gran Turismo creator and designer Kazunori Yamauchi, it was confirmed that Gran Turismo 6 is 'in mind' for PS4.
"We actually do have a PlayStation 4 version in mind," Yamauchi admitted, "but for this holiday season, we thought it would be best for users to release on PS3 for now."
In other words, don't be surprised if the game migrates to PlayStation 4 – it seems like a near certainty -- but don't expect it any time soon, either.
How Will Gran Turismo 6 Be Supported?
Gran Turismo 5 was a smash hit at retail, and a lot of that success came from Polyphony Digital's longtime support of the game through DLC, which is still coming out to this day. Sony and Polyphony are planning similar treatment for Gran Turismo 6, undoubtedly one of PlayStation's biggest cash cows on the digital front.
Sony's Jim Ryan noted that, "I think we cut our teeth on DLC with GT5, and had some reasonably good success. We definitely have a desire to take that to a whole different level [with Gran Turismo 6]." The interview went on to note that, "Monteziation is obviously a very important part of that, just in terms of business, but equally important is providing an ability to have sustained, ongoing engagement with the consumer over months and months, so they feel wrapped up in this whole GT world."
Translation: Lots of DLC is coming.
Anything Else?
Sure! For more Gran Turismo 6 goodness, read our PlayStation Perspective on why Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 makes sense, or our full retrospective of the Gran Turismo series.
And if you want to marvel over a game-by-game sales breakdown of the franchise, go here. For confirmation that Gran Turismo 5 has surpassed 10 million units sold, go here.

What to do if you find possible tsunami debris
NEWPORT, Ore. - Even as state officials work to remove the Japanese dock that washed ashore on the Oregon Coast last week, more debris likely from the March 2011 tsunami continues to come ashore.
A container of some kind and a large float washed up on Sunset Beach in Clatsop County this week. Smaller pieces of debris - mostly styrofoam and plastic - are also washing up on the Oregon coast.
State officials are working on a coastwide plan for disposal of tsunami debris and exploring how to pay for it.
GOT PHOTOS? Share your photos or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said Oregon Coast outlined how visitors and residents can help if they find large amounts of debris they think may be from the tsunami:
Litter and other typical marine debris
Examples: Plastic bottles, aluminum cans, buoys, Styrofoam
If practical, we encourage you to remove the debris and recycle as much of it as possible. Use your judgment -- if you see a significant amount of debris or anything you think might be related to the tsunami, send an email with the date, location and photos to email@example.com.
Derelict vessel or other large debris items
Examples: Adrift fishing boat, shipping containers
Contact 911. If the debris is a hazard to navigation, contact the US Coast Guard Pacific Area Command at 510-437-3701 for assistance. Do not attempt to move or remove vessels.
Mementos or possessions
Examples: Items with unique identifiers, names, or markings.
If an item can 1) be traced back to an individual or group and 2) has personal or monetary value, contact the department at 1-888-953-7677 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com so arrangements can be made for return of items to Japan.
Potential hazardous materials
Examples: Oil or chemical drums, gas cans, propane tanks.
Call the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 to report the item with as much information as possible. Do not touch the item or attempt to move it.

Today's Meditation
Read Mark 4:35-41
"Woe to me!" [Isaiah] cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty."
-Isaiah 6:5 (NIV)
While visiting a public pool recently, I considered the contrast between the lifeguard and those who are in danger. Being the lifeguard is by far the more desirable position. I would prefer something like the role of lifeguard in my daily life as well. But the truth is, I am often more like the one who is drowning.
I am the one who needs the Lord to provide my daily food, clothing, and shelter (Matt. 6:33). I am the one who has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23). As a result, I am the one in need of daily forgiveness as I confess my sins and my need for God (1 John 1: 9). I am the one drowning. Like Isaiah, I have unclean lips (Isa. 6:5). Like Paul, I do the very things that I do not want to do (Rom. 7:15). Like Peter, I try to help God and act in ways that my human understanding dictates as a better plan (Matt. 16:22; John 18:10-11) -- even though I am the one drowning.
Aren't we all more like the one drowning than like the lifeguard? Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are poor in spirit" -- those who recognize their need for God -- "for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:3). The more we recognize our desperate need for God, the closer we come to God's kingdom.
Andy Baker
(Tennessee, USA)
Prayer: Dear God, help us to remember when we feel like we are drowning that you are close at hand to help us. Amen.
Thought of the Day: Stop struggling -- our Lifeguard is always on duty.

A poultrarian is a person whose diet consists of vegetarian fare and select cuts of chicken and turkey, typically lean and boneless. They do not enjoy red meat, seafood, or any other meat in their diet.
Poultrarian comes from the combination of poultry and vegetarian.
Poultrarian comes from the combination of poultry and vegetarian.
A poultrarian would never eat a steak, but would enjoy chicken stir-fry.
by Christie Johnson October 05, 2006
Anyone that has weird food aversions or quirks (especially "vegans" and all members of PETA) that are NEVER invited to any party or social function held at my house or any of my friends houses. Poultrarians always have a screw loose - or several - in their pointy little heads that also affects their behavior in other areas. Get the hell away from me.

In the United Kingdom, the Privy Council is responsible for approving the use of the word university in the name of an institution, under the terms of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 . [81]
In India, a new designation
huge surprise cheap price sale 2014 newest A Diciannoveventitre casual hitop sneakers pay with paypal outlet with credit card best wholesale cheap online CGllrfmbes
has been created for institutions of higher education that are not universities, but work at a very high standard in a specific area of study ("An Institution of Higher Education, other than universities, working at a very high standard in specific area of study, can be declared by the Central Government on the advice of the University Grants Commission as an Institution 'Deemed-to-be-university'"). Institutions that are 'deemed-to-be-university' enjoy the academic status and the privileges of a university. [82] Through this provision many schools that are commercial in nature and have been established just to exploit the demand for higher education have sprung up. [83]
In Canada, college generally refers to a two-year, non-degree-granting institution, while university connotes a four-year, degree-granting institution. Universities may be sub-classified (as in the Macleans rankings ) into large research universities with many PhD-granting programs and medical schools (for example, McGill University ); "comprehensive" universities that have some PhDs but are not geared toward research (such as Waterloo ); and smaller, primarily undergraduate universities (such as St. Francis Xavier ).
In Germany , universities are institutions of higher education which have the power to confer bachelor, master and PhD degrees. They are explicitly recognised as such by law and cannot be founded without government approval. The term Universitaet (i.e. the German term for university) is protected by law and any use without official approval is a criminal offense. Most of them are public institutions, though a few private universities exist. Such universities are always research universities. Apart from these universities, Germany has other institutions of higher education (Hochschule, Fachhochschule ). Fachhochschule means a higher education institution which is similar to the former polytechnics in the British education system, the English term used for these German institutions is usually 'university of applied sciences'. They can confer master degrees but no PhDs. They are similar to the model of teaching universities with less research and the research undertaken being highly practical. Hochschule can refer to various kinds of institutions, often specialised in a certain field (e.g. music, fine arts, business). They might or might not have the power to award PhD degrees, depending on the respective government legislation. If they award PhD degrees, their rank is considered equivalent to that of universities proper (Universitaet), if not, their rank is equivalent to universities of applied sciences.
git-commit - Record changes to the repository
Stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along with a log message from the user describing the changes.
The content to be added can be specified in several ways:
by using to incrementally "add" changes to the index before using the command (Note: even modified files must be "added");
by using to remove files from the working tree and the index, again before using the command;
by listing files as arguments to the command (without --interactive or --patch switch), in which case the commit will ignore changes staged in the index, and instead record the current content of the listed files (which must already be known to Git);
by using the -a switch with the command to automatically "add" changes from all known files (i.e. all files that are already listed in the index) and to automatically "rm" files in the index that have been removed from the working tree, and then perform the actual commit;
by using the --interactive or --patch switches with the command to decide one by one which files or hunks should be part of the commit in addition to contents in the index, before finalizing the operation. See the "Interactive Mode" section of to learn how to operate these modes.
The option can be used to obtain a summary of what is included by any of the above for the next commit by giving the same set of parameters (options and paths).
If you make a commit and then find a mistake immediately after that, you can recover from it with .
Tell the command to automatically stage files that have been modified and deleted, but new files you have not told Git about are not affected.

If there's one thing that grinds Amanda Richardson 's gears, it's fads.Amanda Richardson
As Chief Data and Strategy Officer for HotelTonight (she was previously their VP Product), she oversees 400 to 500 data events for an app with millions of monthly users. Her team registers hundreds of events from every user session. She's steeped in the data world and is a keen observer of how other companies are increasingly leveraging data to make decisions. But what she sees are a number of trends and approaches to data that aren't just lazy, but also ineffective, misleading, and costing companies a ton of opportunity.HotelTonight
In this exclusive interview, Richardson points out four of these approaches that data teams industry-wide should watch out for , and how leaders can break from the pack to better serve their strategic goals. Specifically, she describes how she built her current team to mimic the product teams she's led for years. And she explains why creating next-generation products has a lot more to do with simplicity, consistency and consensus than leveraging the hottest new thing.points out four of these approaches that data teams industry-wide should watch out for
Data is more available than ever before. Collecting, storing and analyzing it have become standard practices at most companies. But all too often, lost in the scramble for real-time analytics and data lakes is a coherent and straightforward plan for what to do with all of these numbers. Richardson has seen many a team aimlessly digging through data, looking for the story. With no clear point of view, though, they're left chasing a moving target.
" You need to start with a specific question to answer or hypothesis to investigate ," she says. "A lot of times, people will launch a product and then say, 'How's it doing?' Rather than saying, 'Our product goal is to convert from this to this. Or grow the top of funnel or move the bottom of the funnel. Or increase our revenue per user.'"

For a long time, we could only target Pinterest ads with keywords using broad match. Many of us (including me), assumed that using keywords would cause our ads to be displayed when someone searched for something pretty close to the terms we chose. But, that was not the case!
Broad match, keyword-targeted ads are shown to Pinners based on a number of factors such as similarity to Pins they've saved, clicked on, or commented on. So, a person who has a Pinterest board for "silver bracelets" might see your "cute bracelets" Promoted Pin – whether or not they are actively searching for that content in the moment.
This is unlike broad-match keyword targeting on other ad platforms, which understandably caused some confusion for some Pinterest advertisers! Not to worry though – we now have another option – phrase and exact match!
If you use only phrase or exact match targeting, you ad will appear only when a Pinner actually searches one of the keywords or phrases you're targeting. So, if I'm searching for "cute bracelets" I might see your Pin in my search results – as opposed to seeing your Pin in my home feed simply because I have a board by that name.
In a large test I ran comparing two identical sets of 74 ad groups – where one appeared in search results only and one appeared in the home feed, the ads that appeared in search converted to sales at a rate 60% higher rate than do keyword-targeted ads which makes sense – they're shown when someone is looking for them! On the other hand, broad match targeting results in substantially higher Repin rates. Also intuitive, as the people seeing it are indeed interested in the subject and may save it for later.
So, by all means, give exact and phrase match types a try!
If you use exact match keywords, your Pin will be shown only when someone searches your term:
As you can imagine, this will limit the number of impressions your ad receives.
I generally stick to phrase match. Those ads show when someone searches your term:
With phrase match, you capture people when they're searching and allow for a bit more flexibility in the terms used, increasing your potential impressions.

Although a handful of published reports suggest that garden-based nutrition education programs are effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, many of these studies have low statistical power because of small sample sizes and lack of long-term data. In this study, we used meta-analytical techniques to examine the efficacy of garden-based nutrition education programs for increasing children's nutrition knowledge, preference for fruit and vegetables, and/or consumption of fruit and vegetables. We confined our analysis to peer-reviewed studies that examined programs that were delivered to children in the United States. We looked at the relative impacts of garden-based nutrition education programs, compared with experimental controls (i.e., no nutrition education) and nutrition education programs without a gardening component. We compared the results of our meta-analysis with those of a vote counting analysis to illustrate the importance of repeated studies and quantitative analysis. In our vote counting analysis, the majority of the outcomes were nonsignificant in the control and nutrition education groups, but positive and significant for the gardening group. Our quantitative analysis of the impacts of gardening education programs on children's nutrition knowledge, preference for fruit and vegetables, and/or consumption of fruit and vegetables was limited by the small number of studies that reported the full suite of descriptive statistics needed to conduct a meta-analysis. Nonetheless, one striking and robust result emerged: gardening increased vegetable consumption in children, whereas the impacts of nutrition education programs were marginal or nonsignificant. We suggest two nonmutually exclusive hypotheses to explain our results: gardening increases access to vegetables and gardening decreases children's reluctance to try new foods. Our results suggest that gardening should be an integral component of wellness programs and policies. A historical lack of funding has impeded both the broader adoption of school gardens and rigorous research on the social, behavioral, and academic impacts of gardening on children. Recently, however, there has been an increase in federal support for gardening and garden-based research projects—a trend that we hope will continue and grow.
Behavioral and dietary lifestyles responsible for weight gain and obesity are often learned at an early age (
Cooke, 2007
). Children (particularly adolescents) who are overweight are more likely to be overweight or obese during adulthood (
Angkorly Womens Fashion Shoes Sandals Ankle Strap Buckle Metallic Thong Block High Heel 4 cm White 2YMGib
) and are at risk for a variety of physical and psychosocial complications during their lifetime ( MERUMOTE Womens Middle Heels Pointed Toe Thin Heels Shoes for Daily Dress Pumps Nudepatent 3Lm39
). Thus, it is troubling that the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents in the United States has more than doubled between 1963–65 and 2007–08 ( Ogden and Carroll, 2010 ).
Packaging build : the main focus here is packaging binaries/testing for dashboard submissions. The repository is usually simpler, and most logic for layout is in the CMake build system. In this case downloading tarballs and source trees is taken care of by CMake, and virtually all source code (outside of the superbuild repository) is contained in the build tree. This generally assures that the build tree will be clean, but means it is hard to use this to develop code in actively, for this reason it tends to be complementary to some other developer build instructions.Packaging build
Tomviz superbuild
is a good example of this, which is derived from an earlier version of the
Marc OPolo Women's 60713555001105 Chelsea Ankle Boots Black Black 990 dM8fO
. You will often need to copy SHAs for the projects from source trees tested locally to 'versions.cmake' in the case of Tomviz (as well as release tarballs referenced above), and once pushed these will be built by the builders. In both of these cases the superbuild actually contains the CPack packaging code, whereas in the case of Open Chemistry the individual software repositories contain the code for packaging. These contain all instructions for building the installers created on demand, or offered as part of a release.
Dependency build
: a third kind of superbuild I have seen more recently is what I call the dependency build. This usually follows the pattern of a packaging build, and is normally also a packaging build with a second mode where it builds everything but the project being targeted by the superbuild. So in
Adidas Court Vantage Adicolor Blue 7Zt4dd
there is a concept of a developer mode where it builds everything but the actual project. It may then write some config file or similar to help the developer's build find the dependencies that were built for them.
Most superbuild projects use a common installation prefix, or a set of prefixes, to install build artifacts in. In Titan I think we started with one prefix per external project, but later moved to a common prefix for all projects. In Open Chemistry we use a common prefix for all projects, named 'prefix' at the top level of the build tree. The single common prefix can be very useful as you can simply add CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to reference that prefix, and have projects favor anything found in there, this path can also be populated with a list.
The major disadvantage of this approach is that the prefix can become dirty over time, having multiple versions installed, and stale files causing issues. This is also an issue that arises with build trees in general, and starting from a clean build directory is often the best solution to avoid this. It also means that you cannot separate out different dependencies that were built and installed, but superbuilds are usually developed to support one (or a small number of) project(s).
When we get into the mindset of developing the superbuild a question that comes up is whether we should build everything from source. Conceptually that is the best/simplest approach, but it is also the one that will lead to the longest possible build times. After spending quite some time thinking about this for Titan, later Open Chemistry and Tomviz I have come to the conclusion that it depends…
Oh, we'll share everything!
But that might not make sense.
I know authors who find their writing styles are very different, and which of you has the right or the authority to make final editorial decisions?
You can avoid any awkwardness by agreeing your proposed model for co-authoring abook right at the outset.Here are the three ways I've found to bemost workable when it comes to writing a co-authored, collaborative book:
Sometimes the simplest model is simply to split and separate the work between you.Co-create the outline and allocate outthe chapters that best fit your expertise and experience (and interest!).
Let each co-author havea free rein with their respective chapters. Celebrate yourdifferences, even name the chapter author as you would in
Malibu Mens Clogs M372cabn Camouflage Braun Eeq0G0cQj
Sure, you can comment on each other's work, but don't take the voice out of the work, don't try to make the writing sound the same, give (and accept) constructive questions and suggestions, but don't force joint editorial judgements.
Lakai Unisex Adults Griffin Skate Shoe Parent Grey Suede Vj81qZ4
is a great example of a book that was written like this. The authors havea good rhythm, they take different aspects of the topic and there seems to be no sense of overlap or divergence in the content.
Pros : You both have creative freedom to write your best work and contribute your ideas to the project without watering them down forsomeone else.
Cons : You might find some overlap in the content, or that you take different approaches in the teaching. It can be hard to know this in advancebut it will need to be managed as it comes up.
How to make it work for you : Spend some time on the outline. Do an overview together and then have each author précis what they want to say. Review this together so you have the same degree of depth and you've checked thatthere's little or no overlap.How to make it work for you
You don't have to have a common structure within the chapters, but it willhelp the reader if you do. At the very least, you want a common structure for your chapters.
Agree a process for light comments on each other's chapters — and a solutionif it turns out your approaches are very different.
Do take a light touch with your partner though — it's OK for you to havedifferent perspectives on yourtopic and you can be explicit about this with thereader. What's more important is that thereader can see where(and why) you diverge and understands that you still have his or herbest interests at heart (getting back to those shared values.)
Alternatively, you can split the work by splitting the writing and creative process .
In this model, one person will take responsibility at each stage. So, for example, one of you might outline, the other might create thefirst full draft , meanwhilethe first author might come back into the project to do a final edit, additions oramendments.
From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.

Time Warner Cable Systematically Looking To Shut Down Parodist's Accounts
from the not-a-huge-surprise dept
That said, Time Warner Cable has apparently decided that the duo at TWCCustomerService have gone way too far in their parody attempt and have been going after their various social media accounts one by one. Already killed are their YouTube account and a bunch of Twitter accounts. The latest is that TWC's legal department has approached GoDaddy, seeking to have the TWCCustomerService.com domain name taken away. According to Kevin Collier at DailyDot, the guys are actually Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler of the comedy duo The Good Liars, and they have a history of doing similar types of pranks. In this case, TWC claims that the duo went too far in using the real name (and image) of Time Warner Cable's CEO, Glenn Britt.
As we noted in our first post about them, some might think that their website and efforts pushed some boundaries, since nowhere do they state directly that they're a parody account, but any human being with a few functioning brain cells should be able to tell within seconds that these guys clearly do not represent Time Warner Cable at all. I can understand why TWC decided to try to shut down the various accounts, but, in the end that's probably exactly what Selvig and Stiefler wanted, as it merely serves to call that much more attention to their antics.

Mark Milian, a good friend to the mighty Hero Complex, has an eye-catching post at our political sister blog Top of the Ticket. In a mash-up of fan-boy, Midway and the Beltway storylines, it seems Mark got a bead on who created the Barack Obama/Joker image that has become a sidewalk-culture sensation. Here's an excerpt…
Bored during his winter school break, Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe's Photoshop software.
Alkhateeb had been tinkering with the program to improve the looks of photos he had taken on his clunky Kodak camera. The Joker project was his grandest undertaking yet. Using a tutorial he'd found online about how to "Jokerize" portraits, he downloaded the October 23 Time Magazine cover of Obama and began digitally painting over it.
Four or five hours later, he happily had his product. On Jan. 18, Alkhateeb uploaded the image to photo-sharing site Flickr (shown at right). Over the next two months, he amassed just a couple thousand hits, he said.
Then the counter exploded after a still-anonymous rogue famously found his image, digitally removed the references to Time Magazine, captioned the picture with the word "socialism" and hung printed copies around L.A., making headlines…

The Rising Researcher program acknowledges the excellent work of UMass Amherst undergraduate students.
Ankur Sheel '13, a double major in neuroscience and biochemistry and molecular biology, is conducting his honors thesis in the lab of Larry Schwartz, the Eugene M. and Ronnie Isenberg Professor of Integrated Science and a nationally known expert in the study of cell death and human disease.
"Ankur is the best student I have worked with in over a decade and one of the top two undergraduates I have worked with during my 25 years at UMass. I have never had a student who displayed such passion for research," says Schwartz.
Sheel has initiated two major studies on human breast cancer to identify how a recently discovered gene, which is over expressed in the most aggressive form of breast cancer, works within human cells. His findings will help shed light on the growth and behavior of cancerous tumors. "He is fearless about learning new methodology. These are both important studies that will result in publications with Ankur as the lead author," says Schwartz.
Sheel plans to continue his research under Schwartz while pursuing a master's degree in molecular and cellular biology. "The biggest benefit to working in the lab is the guidance and knowledge that I receive from Professor Schwartz. I can safely say that the majority of my scientific knowledge stems from his useful feedback and his ability to explain complicated concepts in a simple manner," says Sheel.
Physics Major and Commonwealth Honors College (CHC) student Kelly Malone '13 has been working on research and development related to EXO (Enriched Xenon Observatory), an experiment in particle physics being conducted in Carlsbad, New Mexico, by an international group of academic and government scientists.
Malone, working in Professor Andrea Pocar's lab since her sophomore year, has conducted and completed three major projects, including her senior capstone project where she is programming the control system of a large charcoal filter Pocar's group is building for EXO.
Once finished, the filter will be shipped to New Mexico and installed on a leading, running experiment in neutrino physics. Its software will be the one Kelly has programmed. "I consider this a major individual contribution to an experiment at the forefront of nuclear/particle physics," says Pocar. The experience is quite a feather in Malone's cap, as she moves on to pursue a doctorate in physics.
Alexander Borges '14 is a kinesiology major at Commonwealth Honors College. As a sophomore, he received a CHC fellowship to study a consumer-wearable activity monitor. He wrote a proposal with his faculty advisor Patty Freedson's assistance and conducted the study last spring. According to Freedson, a leading authority on measuring physical activity's effect on health, Borges's presentation was so outstanding that his project was accepted for the School of Public Health and Health Science's Research Day- a forum usually reserved for graduate student presentations.
Borges, whose plans include medical school, believes his experience working with Freedson will help him be successful there. "His command of the literature in this field is superb. His accomplishments are extraordinary for a student at this stage in his academic training," says Freedson.
Tess Brickley '15, Commonwealth Honors College classics major, is working with digital archaeological materials from the Pompeii Quadriporticus Project under the supervision of Professor Eric Poehler. Brickley so impressed Poehler as a freshman in his Roman archeology class that he offered her a research assistant position.
"Tess has truly excelled in every task she has been given. One of the first was analyzing data from 74 columns in our building, the Quadriporticus at Pompeii, and discovering patterns within the hundreds of holes cut into those columns. Thinking through the process of the task I gave her was itself challenging, but then visualizing the results was especially impressive. I presented the results at a major international conference in January to great interest," says Poehler.
"Tess has also been instrumental in structuring thousands of photos, graphs, drawings, and database entries from the project. Most interestingly, she has mastered a photogrammetry program to reconstruct ancient spaces in #D from simple 2D photographs. I intend to support Tess's fieldwork this summer in Pompeii," says Poehler.
"I'm very excited to be able to work in Pompeii to see how the research I've done is physically manifested in the Quadriporticus," says Brickley. "This project also gives me footholds to discover my own interests in archaeology, a field which I intend to eventually do my own research."
All four Rising Researchers and their faculty advisors were honored at a luncheon with Chancellor Subbaswamy.

"The Borgias" returned Sunday, with Francois Arnaud literally racing back to our TV screens as cardinal-turned-vigilante-killer Cesare Borgia.
Cesare has become a breakout role stateside for the 26-year-old, Montreal-bred actor, who will play a soldier in an indie movie about the Civil War before going back to Hungary to film Season 3 of "The Borgias" later this year. (If the show is renewed.)
But for now, Arnaud is anxious to see more episodes of the new season of the Showtime drama, in which Cesare, he says, will take control of the fortunes of the 15th-century family headed by patriarch Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons), a.k.a. Pope Alexander VI and the father of sibling rivals Cesare, Juan (David Oakes) and Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger).
"He kind of goes rogue, such that he perceives he's the best person to defend the family, and he's not waiting for his father to approve of every single one of his actions any more," Arnaud told me last week during a phone interview. "Yeah, he's becoming the man."
In Sunday's premiere, "The Borgia Bull," the increasingly vicious feud between Cesare and Juan played out in the form of a dangerous horse race that Arnaud actually did himself over a couple of days.
But it wasn't easy, Arnaud said. "I remember the second day of the race where I was worrying so much, I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it," he said, laughing. "I said, 'Just give me half an hour,' and I popped like five Advils and rubbed my thighs with like cold cream and I was ready to go."
Arnaud and I chatted about filming the race, how Cesare has changed this season, how he broke his elbow in Budapest where the series is filmed, and what's in store for the Borgia family. We talked about the entire season, so check back each week as Arnaud introduces episodes or gives us some extra insight about scenes like tonight's horse race.
How goes it?
It's going well, yeah. I'm excited about the second season. I haven't seen it all, so I'm just looking forward to see it myself.
How awesome is that that you get to be the first conspirator we see in the new season?
[Laughs.] Yeah, I think it starts off with Cesare in a new place. I think he's taking control a little more and I think it's great that we get straight into the action. No more explanations [like in Season 1].
How do you think Cesare's changed from Season 1 to Season 2?
Well, I think he's still changing, but I think he's not looking for his father's approval as much. He still dreams about the possibility, but he's realized that no matter what he does the other brother will always be the favorite. I think he sees that his father, a little bit later in the season, you'll see that he knows that the Pope is getting older and also that he's not necessarily making the right decisions for the family.
You said something interesting about Cesare not feeling that he's ever going to be his father's favorite, but Juan I would say feels the same way, right?
Does he? Maybe, yeah.
It seems that way to me that they both kind of feel like the other one's the one who has their father's attention and love, which is kind of interesting.
I think the way I see it is that the father would just love Juan to be the one, you know? He would love Juan to be perfect and he knows that he isn't. But I feel that Cesare has been working so hard at making the right decisions every single time, and no matter what he does it's not recognized. But you're right, maybe Juan does feel that Cesare's the favorite. I never thought of it that way.
Tell me about that rivalry. How's that going to heat up this season?
Oh gee. I think it's less childish, less innocent, and I think it all comes from a very deep place. But I think it's the first time that they're ever taking it out physically. I think Cesare's really sick of it completely and I think a lot of that is control, and Juan faces different struggles in the season. I don't know how much I can say though. It's in front of us not to reveal anything. Juan faces drug addiction problems, the drugs, the whorehouses.
He's the vice guy.
Yeah. He's becoming dangerous for the safety I think of Lucrezia as well, and with Lucrezia being the one thing that I cherish the most I think a point will come where a decision needs to be made about Juan and what we do around him in the position that he's in.
You guys sword fight and then you have that really crazy horse race. Last year we cleared up the fact that you didn't fall off the horse. (Read "Francois Arnaud clears up a horse tale") Anything you need to tell me about concerning that horse race? That must have been scary.
Yeah, I didn't fall off the horse. But it was crazy actually. It's a bareback race, so it's pretty intense. The difficulty with the bareback thing actually, is to be stable on the horse without squeezing your thighs and giving the horse contradicting signals.
I had an amazing horse. It was coming from Spain specifically for the race and I don't know that I was ready, but I wanted to do it so I did it all myself. But they wouldn't let me, actually, when we started shooting. For insurance purposes they thought I hadn't had enough training. Well, I had a lot, but it was a big race.
Honestly, we shoot in bits and pieces so we don't have to do the whole race at once, but you still have to like attain a certain speed. So I asked them to just let me do the starting line to a little ways, and that went well. After we shot they said, "Well OK, you can just do it."
It's amazing that because our characters are leading the race we're in front of everybody else. So if we ended up falling we would have had like eight horses just riding over us. It was really thrilling.
And we were in new sets as well. The back lot is much bigger this year. You can really feel that you're racing along in the back streets, so that was really cool.
I heard that you got injured this season.
I got injured, yeah, I did, but not on the set. It was another thing that was completely unrelated to "The Borgias."
You broke your elbow?
Yeah, I broke my elbow. It wasn't while I was filming. It was out in the streets of Budapest. I was running and I just tripped over something and fell on my elbow.
Actually, I think we managed to hide it pretty well. We changed the shooting order for a couple of scenes, but it's for the last two episodes I think that I was injured, that I was like, I had my arm in a cast for a couple of weeks maybe. Then I had to do physical therapy and I'm back in good shape now, almost. But I don't think it'll show. We just managed to tweak the cast a little bit. I think my arm is bent in a couple of more scenes than usual. But I'm always holding something. Honestly, I think if you don't talk about it people won't know.
You're OK now?
Yeah, better, yeah.
I remember last year you said that you feel there's a lot of you in Cesare and if that's the case, I hope we never meet in a dark alley after watching you this season.
Yeah. [Laughs.] I think I bring a lot of myself to the character, but it's not necessarily in our actions that we are alike, luckily. But in a way I feel that I could, not in an actually violent way like to other people, but he has this rage that I understand, and he has this ambition and he has this loyalty to the ones he loves which I understand. But the worse thing that can happen in a dark alley is me breaking an elbow.
Did anything surprise you more about Cesare this season?
He always surprises me because he's just changing so much and he's evolving so much. … I feel that by the end of Season 2 Cesare's transformation is complete and … it's like someone completely different than he was a year ago. I think that's exciting and that's why it's not boring to be on a show like this for that long, because it doesn't feel like it's repeating the same thing over and over again. It's not like "House."
I agree with you. I think these four episodes are a lot different and a lot more, I don't know, action-packed, sinister, than the whole of the first season. Everybody starts going off in their own directions.
Yeah, that's where it's headed. And yeah, it doesn't really stop until the end of the season. Well, I think the first season, especially for a historical show, you have to set things up historically, politically. Now that people know the characters and the historical context a little bit more, I think we can jump right into the action and I think it's less explanatory. I think you get to work the events more in Season 2 than you hear about them, you know? I like that.
The dark partnership between Cesare and Micheletto becomes a lot more solid this season.
We talked about it a lot with Sean and it's not friendship. There is some friendship but it's not, you know, friendship as we know it today. It's not equal. They're not on the same level. But I think they respect each other a lot and Micheletto is certainly not Cesare's tool or slave. They have a relationship on another level...
We get to know more about Micheletto this season actually, Episode 5 especially you'll see something about Micheletto's family and like where he comes from.
Cesare trusts him more than he trusts like say Juan.
Oh, definitely, definitely. [Laughs.] Juan cannot be trusted.
Do you find it to be a brotherly relationship? Do you think that he thinks of Micheletto, "Too bad this guy wasn't my brother instead of Juan?"
Not exactly either, because Cesare and Micheletto's relationship is possible because it's more or less secret, hidden. They don't know too much about each other. Well, Micheletto has absolutely no grasp of what the rest of Cesare's life is like, you know, growing up in such a powerful family. And Cesare is very respectful of Micheletto being so secretive about himself and I don't think he really wants to know. When he ends up learning a bit more about Micheletto later on, he kind of chooses to ignore it or let it be private in order to keep the relationship as it is.
The wig looks a lot longer this year.
Yeah. It's much curlier. I think they thought that the first one was a bit too "priesty" for what was coming and wanted something that could be more, you know, active or a better flow to it.
For fighting?
Yeah. Less L'Oreal.
Do you have any other projects coming up?
Yeah, yeah. There's a role in a movie that I'm doing next month, but think they're signing it right now so I can't reveal the title but I can tell you what it is. It's an American independent movie about the Civil War. I play a soldier.
That's nice you can squeeze that in before Season 3.
Yeah, it's great. It's good to do something different and be happy to come back to Cesare after that.
I wanted to mention that I discovered website called "In Love with Francois Arnaud" today.
Really? Oh.
What do you think of that?
Well, you know, good for them. [Laughs.] I don't Google myself, so I don't know these things and I'd rather not. I was presenting at the Juno Awards this weekend and I was just walking backstage and there's a girl, I guess who was a friend of the show, and she's chasing me and she's asking me, "Can I just get a hug from you?" And so yeah, we hugged. [Laughs.]
That's sweet. You're a sweet guy, Francois.
[Laughs.] Yeah, I try to be.
Thanks again for taking the time. The second season's really good so far.
Yeah, good. Well, I'm happy with it and I'm looking forward to seeing it all. And I've seen it up to Episode 4 as well. I've seen a little bit more except on ADR for like my scenes, but not all of it.
How was it being back in Hungary now that you know people there and everything?
It's great. Yeah, it felt like a home away from home.
Except for the elbow.
[Laughs.] Yeah, except for that elbow. And then you just want to be home for real and have your mom take care of you.
You have to stop getting into bar fights, Francois.
Yeah. [Laughs.] There's nothing there. Don't—there's nothing to find there. [Laughs.]
No, no, I am just teasing. Francois does not get into bar fights! Well, thank you very much.
Thank you. Have a good day.

ATLANTA (AP) — Farmers are taking sides in a battle over the quality of Vidalia onions, the iconic brand grown in south Georgia that's known around the world.
In response to concerns in recent years about inferior onions on the market, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black has imposed new regulations on when the vegetables can be packed. The reason: Black has said that onions harvested too early have resulted in inferior Vidalia onions with shorter shelf lives.
However, some farmers argue weather conditions and other factors determine when an onion crop is ready to harvest. They say they're in the best position to know from year to year. One prominent Vidalia farmer has hired former Attorney General Mike Bowers to fight the new regulations in court, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Vidalia onions are the state's most valuable vegetable crop, with an estimated $150 million annual impact on the state economy, the Atlanta newspaper reports. The vegetable is protected by federal trademark and state law that created a 20-county region where Vidalia onions can be produced.
The rule change, which will take effect early next year, no onion may be packed or sold before 12:01 a.m. on the Monday of the last full week of April. In 2014, that's April 21.
"The rule will solidify consumer confidence through providing the high-quality onion for which the Vidalia is known," Black said in an interview from a rocking chair in his Capitol Hill office. "The rule ensures the sweet taste, increases the shelf life, and allows for the proper, flat, shape."
Delbert Bland has grown Vidalia onions in Tattnall County for 30 years.
"I am 100 percent in favor of doing anything possible to improve the appearance, as well as the quality of the Vidalia onions," Bland said. "That's my livelihood. It's all I've ever done."
Black's solution, however, "is totally unacceptable," Bland said.
"You can't dictate or set an arbitrary date a year away when Vidalia onions will be mature and ready to ship." Bland said he's seen mature Vidalias in early April and some that weren't ready until late April.

Oral Antivirals for Cold Sores
Topic Overview
Most cold sores heal on their own without prescription medicines. But some antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir or famciclovir) when taken orally (tablets) may be helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of attacks of cold sores.
Doctors may prescribe oral antiviral medicines that can be taken daily to prevent future outbreaks of cold sores. These medicines may also be given during periods of increased risk of getting cold sores (such as during cosmetic surgery or sun exposure).
Oral antivirals work best in treating recurring cold sores if they are taken within 24 to 48 hours of an outbreak of cold sores.
Pregnant or nursing women should seek their doctors' advice prior to taking antiviral medicines. Those with kidney problems may be advised to take lower doses.
Some examples of oral antiviral medicines prescribed to treat cold sores include the following:
Acyclovir (Zovirax) tablets may slightly shorten the duration of pain and the healing time of a first attack of cold sores.footnote 1
Common side effects of acyclovir tablets include nausea, diarrhea, and headache.
A lower dose of oral acyclovir is needed for people who have reduced kidney function.
Famciclovir (Famvir) is sometimes used to treat the herpes virus that causes cold sores and genital herpes (as well as the virus that causes shingles). This medicine is available only by prescription and is taken orally in tablet form.
If you are pregnant or nursing, you should talk with your doctor before taking famciclovir.
This medicine is not recommended for people who have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
Possible mild side effects include itching, fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex) capsules are available by prescription only. It is absorbed by the body much better than some other antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir).
Possible side effects include skin rash, allergic reaction, headache, dizziness, insomnia, and fatigue.
Children, pregnant women, and people who have HIV or who have had bone marrow or kidney transplants should talk with their doctors before taking this medicine.

Hi! My baby is six weeks old now, and I have pretty much lost all hope of successfully breastfeeding him. From day one it has been painful every time he latches on...like a vice clamping down on my nipple. Within a few days of his birth, my nipples were excruciatingly painful and completely torn up, so I started pumping for him.
Since then, I have seen two different IBCLCs, a doctor who specializes in breastfeeding problems, a pediatric dentist to check for tongue tie, and an osteopath for craniosacral therapy twice. The doctor also took cultures and put me on antibiotics for mastitis.
At this point, I am feeling pretty hopeless. I put the baby to the breast a couple of times a day, but it's still so painful, and the more I try to nurse him, the worse it gets. Additionally, he isn't tranferring milk well either, do we both end up frustrated.
I am glad I'm pumping enough for now to meet his needs, but I'm not sure how long I can keep this up (I also have an 11 year old with a busy schedule, two year old twins with special needs, and a husband who is always at work).
Everyone says his latch "looks great" but my nipple is always flat/ lipstick shaped at the end of a feeding. The doctors said the problem is that he has a tight jaw. It seems like he never gets into a good sucking rhythm (long sucks and swallows), and even after a long time at the breast he drinks a bottle afterwards, and I'm still able to pump a lot after he nurses.
I am so depressed about this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Today HTC announced the Desire X, an affordable take on their One series. Just like the One X and One S, the Desire X features HTC's proprietary ImageChip, Beats audio, and Snapdragon S4 processor. The HTC Desire X will be available in selected markets across EMEA and Asia Pacific from September 2012.
"HTC Desire X is an extension of your social life," said Jason Mackenzie, President, Global Sales and Marketing for HTC Corporation. "If you're looking to enjoy and share high quality multimedia, wherever you are, this is the phone for you. It not only looks and sounds great, but also provides a super-fast, highly personal mobile experience at a great price."
Highlights of the Desire X include:
- Android 4.0 with HTC Sense
- 4-inch super LCD WVGA screen
- Dual-core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play
- 5 megapixel camera with HTC's proprietary ImageChip, a f/2.0, 28mm wide-angle lens, BSI sensor, HDR mode and automatic adjustable flash
- 768 MB RAM, 4 GB internal storage
- User replaceable 1650 mAh battery
- microSD expansion slot
- Beats Audio
The overall specs of the Desire X are on the level of the HTC One V, which currently sells for around $299, so we would expect it to be sold for $299 or less. This device probably won't make it to the US, but it gives us an idea of where HTC's affordable phones are headed.

Prototype Description: Introduced on the United Kingdom's west coast line between London Euston and Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow (Scotland) in 2002, the Class 390 high speed tilting Pendolino passenger trains are operated by Virgin Trains.
Owned by Stagecoach and Virgin Rail Group, which was created by Virgin Group (a British multinational conglomerate that consists of over four-hundred worldwide companies) in order to bid for United Kingdom rail franchises during British Rail's privatization years, since March 9, 1997, Virgin Trains has provided a combined metropolitan population of over eighteen million people with long-distance passenger rail services between London, West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and Scotland.
With one nine-car set (unit number 390 033, "City of Glasgow" which was seriously damaged in a derailment near Grayrigg) written off on November 30, 2007, as of 2016, the Virgin Trains Pendolino fleet consists of twenty-one nine-car sets and thirty-five eleven car sets.

C and H coaches are intermediate trailer cars with pantographs.
E and U (which is only used with 11-car sets) coaches are intermediate trailer cars.
Road Name History:
The Virgin Trains brand has also been used on the legally and operationally separate Virgin Trains East Coast since 1 March 2015, and previously on Virgin CrossCountry, which operated between 1997 and 2007. Virgin has around 3,400 employees.
From Wikipedia
Brand/Importer Information:
The name RAPIDO was introduced by Canadian National in 1965 to headline the railway's high-speed intercity passenger services. Until the mid-1980s, RAPIDO stood for fast schedules, frequent trains, and superb service.
Today, Rapido Trains continues the RAPIDO concept with state-of-the-art models and attention to fine detail. This company is not related to the venerable (and now defunct) German manufacturer Arnold Rapido, nor the present-day Arnold (which is owned by the United Kingdom's Hornby), Canadian based Rapido Trains was founded in 2003.
