Even though the Flames don't (yet!) own first round selection, day one of the entry draft is typically the most interesting and action packed for those interested. As such, it makes to profile the teams and player who will mostly likely be involved.
1.) Edmonton Oilers – Taylor Hall
Even though David Staples is convinced there's a major push inside the Oilers organization to pick Seguin, I'm going to stick to the consensus for this preview and go with Hall to EDM as the first pick. That said, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Oilers and Bruins broker a deal that would see BOS pick Hall first overall instead.
2.) Boston Bruins – Tyler Seguin
The natural result should EDM decide to go the simple route. If the Bruins pick-up Seguin, it may lead to an increased need to deal one of their high-priced, quality centermen. Word is, Marc Savard is the guy on the market right now. A Seguin pick may just punch his ticket out of town.
3.) Florida Panthers – Erik Gudbranson
Things get a bit uncertain after the top 2 in this draft. Gudbranson is a consensus top 5 talent and Bob McKenzie has the big, complete defender going third to the Florida Panthers. Described as a mature, natural born leader, Gudbranson can do just about everything from the blueline and thinks the game well to boot.
4.) Columbus Blue Jackets – Cam Fowler
Word is the Blue Jackets have a lot of interest in Brett Connolly, but I think the offensively charged Cam Fowler will be too hard to pass up for Columbus at #4. The organization has lacked a top-end PP option from the back-end since forever and already have youngsters like Nikita Filatov and Jakub Voracek up front.
5.) New York Islanders – Brandon Gormley
The third of the "big three" defenders is Brandon Gormley. Not as big as Gudbranson nor as offensive as Cam Fowler, Gormley is just generally capable in all areas. Projects more as a solid, top-4 option at the NHL level. Like Columbus, the Islanders need some defensive depth in the pipeline, so I can see them going this route.
6.) Tampa Bay Lightning – Ryan Johansen
After picking stud defender Victor Hedman last year and sniper Steven Stamkos the year before, it would make sense for the Lightning to target one of the best playmakers in Ryan Johansen. Tall with a big reach, good skating and sublime vision, Johanesen is drawing comparisons to Joe Thornton.
7.) Carolina Hurricanes – Jeff Skinner
A fifty goal scorer in the OHL, Jeff Skinner could be the next big sniper for the Hurricanes after Eric Staal. Not overly big or fast, Skinner is nonetheless a natural at putting pucks in the net. His weaknesses may keep him outside of the top 10, but I can see him going as high as 7 for the purposes of this exercise.
8.) Atlanta Thrashers – Nino Neiderreiter
Yesterday I noted that new Atlanta GM Rick Dudley values players who are consummate "hockey guys": hard-working, tough, willing to mix things up, etc. Enter Nino Neiderreiter, a gritty, hard-nosed Swiss player who put up 36 goals in the WHL. At 6'2" and 200 pounds, Neiderreiter already has an NHL ready frame and as many witnessed at the World Junior Championships this past Christmas, he's not afraid to use it. As such, I'd be surprised to see the Thrashers pass on Nino if he's still available.
9.) Minnesota Wild – Mikael Granlund
An organization that needs just about everything (including scoring), Mikael Granlund may be a natural choice for a club led by the ever impressive Mikko Koivu. Like Koivu, Grandlund is said to have a high hockey IQ and can play on both sides of the puck. Not overly big or fast, Granlund isn't a consensus top-10 pick.
10.) New York Rangers – Alex Burmistrov
With Marian Gaborik locked up for the next four seasons, the Rangers may have their sites set on a natural set-up man. Burmistrov is only 160 pounds, but has great all around offensive tools, including an uncanny ability to distribute the puck. The Rangers aren't terribly shy about drafting Russians either, with the late Cherapanov and Artem Aninismov being recent examples.
11.) Dallas Stars – Derek Forbort
An all-around defender like Gormley, Forbot isn't the very best at any one thing, but is said to have a high ceiling due to his overall versatility. At 11, he may be the guy with the least amount of question marks left.
12.) Anaheim Ducks – Brett Connolly
A consensus top-5 offensive talent at the start of the year, Connolly suffered major injuries to both hips and only appeared in 16 games. The lack of game action, a lost year of development and the question of his injured hips will likely push him outside the top-10, but not too far. This is a player I assume the Flames would have targeted had they kept the 13th overall pick.
13.) Phoenix Coyotes – Austin Watson
Big, aggresive with a will to compete at both ends, Watson put up big numbers after he was traded from the Windsor Spitefires to the Peterborough Petes. Buried beneath the deapth in Windsor, there's some question as to how good Watson's offensive game truly is however. That said, his combination of will and physical tools means he projects as a useful player in at least a checking role at the NHL level.
14.) St. Louis Blues – Emerson Etem
The Blues may look to "re-coup" the offensive prospect they lost in the Halak trade by taking Emerson Etem. Described as the drafts fastest skater, Etem also has a big shot that helped him score 37 goals for the Medicine Hat Tigers.
15.) Florida Panthers (via Boston) – Vladamir Tarasenko
Having already chosen inside the top 5, Florida can swing for the fences with the 15th overall pick. Tarasenko is often said to be an elite offensive prospect, perhaps inside the top 10 of the draft. The "Russian factor" will no doubt depress his value somewhat.
16.) Ottawa Senators – Jack Campbell
With goaltending woes being a perenial concern, it would make sense to see the Sens spend 16th overall on Jack Campbell, who is roundly considered far and away 2010's best goaltending prospect. I'm not a fan of taking goalies in the first round myself, but that never stops at least one team from doing it every draft day.
17.) Colorado Avalanche – Dylan McIlrath
With the bulk of the Avs young prospect depth up front (and with Adam Foote rapidly aging), the Avs may take a shot at picking Dylan McIlrath if he's still available. Huge, mean and able to scrap with the best of them, McIlrath isn't going to win any races or scoring titles – he's just going to make opposing players wish they were never born.
18.) Nashville Predators – Quinton Howden
Relatively tall but blazingly fast, Howden is effective at both ends of the ice. His 28 goals and 65 points weren't mind-blowing this year, but his package of smarts, speed and overall utlity may propel him inside the top 20. I can't see the defensively stacked Predators taking another defender inside the first round either.
19.) Los Angeles Kings – Nick Bjugstad
An imposing physical speciman at 6'5", 190 pounds, Bjugstad tore up Minnesota HS hockey and is rumored to be one the best conditioned athletes in the draft. Los Angeles is stacked at both ends of the ice when it comes to prospects, so it'll just come down to who they think is the very best player available when they pick at 19. It may be Bjugstad.
20.) Pittsburgh Penguins – Kirill Kabanov
Originally tabbed to go inside the top 5, an indifferent end to the season in North America plus rumors of an attitude problem and subsequent dumping by his agent has caused Kabanov's stock to plummet in the last few months. Add in the KHL "Russian risk" and many expect Kabanov to fall to the second round or even further. That said, I can see the Penguins taking a chance on the enigmatic youngster, especially given their need for a legit scoring winger to play with either Crosby or Malkin.
21.) Detroit Red Wings – Mark Pysyk
A defender that isn't overly physical but can play a safe, smart, two-way game. Sound familiar? Sure, Lidstrom has the much higher offensive ceiling, but the 40 year old only has so many seasons left in him. Pysyk is the 7th ranked NA skater by NHL central scouting and was considered the very best player on the Edmonton Oil Kings by the end of the season (despite playing just 48 games). Considered a "safe" pick by many.
22.) Phoenix Coyotes – Jon Merril
A big, offensively capable rearguard out of the US, Merril might be higher on the list had an off-ice incident not raised questions about his character. No major flaws to his game outside of the "immature" label. Should the Coyotes go with a forward at 13, I can see them targeting a guy like Merril in the 20's.
23.) Buffalo Sabres – Tyler Toffoli
With Calder trophy winner Tyler Myers emerging on the back-end in Buffalo, the Sabres may target another sniper in Toffoli in the first round. A 37 goal scorer for the Ottawa 67's, Toffoli has a sound all-around game aside from questions about his skating.
24.) Chicago Blackhawks (via Atlanta) – Tyler Pitlick
The Hawks want for nothing, so trying to guess their first pick in 2010 is tough. Pitlick is a 6'2" center from Minnesota who is said to be offensively capable but also defensively responsible. College bound, the Blackhawks can afford to let him develop for the next 4 years or so.
25.) Vancouver Canucks – Jarred Tinordi
The Canucks have picked a forwards in the first round for several years in a row (Grabner, White, Hodgson, Schroeder) and may be motivated to add a high-end defender to the mix. Tinordi is huge at 6'6", is naturally aggresive and is said to have top notch character.
26.) Washington Capitals – Evgeny Kuznetsov
If there's a high-end Russian talent still around when the Caps pick at 26, expect them to give him heavy consideration. A high-end talent with consistency issues and the Russian risk, Kuznetsov is the last of the "top 3" first end Russian talents.
27.) Montreal Canadiens – Riley Sheahan
One of the youngest college players in the world last year, Sheahan's output was slight owing to the low number of games and high quality of the competition he faced in the CCHA. A big center at 6'2", 195 pounds, many expect his results to improve dramatically as he gets older.
28.) San Jose Sharks – John McFarland
Aside from Kabanov, no other players stock has fallen quite as rapidly as John McFarland's. Inside the top 10 to start the year, his completely lackluster results (50 pts in 64 games) plus his apparent lack of ability to read the play at the junior level has McFarland as an outside shot to fall to the second round. That said, his physical tools are impressive and the Sharks may be willing to take the gamble at 28 in the hopes he gets things together.
29.) Anaheim Ducks (via Philadelphia) – Justin Falk
Another American defender, Falk is mostly an offensive defenseman. Bob McKenzie recently noted that Falk is considered to have the hardest slapahot in entire draft and is a good skater besides.
30.) Chicago Blackhawks – Beau Bennett
A wildcard thanks to playing in the second tier BCHL last season, Bennett was ranked 32nd overall in NA by central scouting, but may actually go in the teens, depending on how the draft shakes down. He managed a Zajac-like 120 points for Penticton in just 56 games played, despite being described as "physically immature" by most scouts.

Troy Felbel, president of the Fund, In indicating his gratitude for the good response, pointed out that invitations have gone to all those who might be able to make minimum gifts for at least $150, which Includes the extra contribu¬ tion to the survival fund. "In addition to those . who are' able to give much more, there may be aome who are only in a position to make thla mlninmum gift but who have not received invitations to the annual dinner."

He served In 1945 els a chaplain with the 9th Infantry Divlalon, which earlier yiat year had liber¬ ated aome 30,000 Jewlah survivors of Nazi concentration camps in Southern Bavaria. Then he was called to serve as an army chap^ lain in Berlin. As the only Jewish chaplain in the bombed-out city, he swung Into action to help pro¬ vide food, clothing and shelter both for survivors of Hitler'a ex¬ termination camps and for those who began to flee the riae of Com¬ munism in Eastern Europe.

The Next Web: "Google has also been working with Samsung to launch a 10-inch tablet, confirming leaks which suggested Google had teamed up with the Korean manufacturer for another device. Our source tells us that internally the tablet goes under the name 'Codename Manta', runs Google's new Android 4.2 operating system (previously referred to as Key Lime Pie, but is set to retain the Jelly Bean branding), and will offer a 2560x1600 pixel (10:16) resolution, which we believe will offer around 300 pixels per inch compared to the new iPad's 264 PPI." Between the iPad and this supposed Android tablet... Poor Surface. Poor, poor Surface.

RE[2]: Only in OSNews bizarro land
by Nelson on Sun 21st Oct 2012 17:18 UTC in reply to "RE: Only in OSNews bizarro land"
Lets put things into a little bit of perspective:
ASUS is not even statistically relevant beyond a rounding error in market share for tablets in the 10 inch category.
That's iPad country. It is fucking ridiculous that the same people who were saying Honeycomb Tablets would save the world and overtake the iPad are STILL saying Android Tablets are poised to dominate. DESPITE the retail FAILURE of such products.

The purpose of my most recent trip to New York was to document up and coming UK indie rock band 'Pint Shot Riot's' first trip to the US. It was my job to follow the 4 piece from Coventry around NYC and document their every move. I got to shoot their live shows at Brooklyn's Rock Shop and New York's renowned Webster Hall. During this trip, I got to meet up with Virgin Radio DJ and NY band photographer Abbey Braden and I also got to meet legendary music producer Steve Lillywhite. It was an awesome trip and New York is an amazing city. Enjoy the results -

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has warned people not to open phishing emails claiming to be from ACMA as the email is designed to gather Internet account details.
According to an ACMA spokesperson, the subject heading of the phishing email reads Broadband Account Upgrade Pending and the subheading is Urgent news, your Broadband Account needs to be upgraded for security measures!
"This is not an ACMA email but links to a phishing webpage that seeks details about your Internet accounts," said the spokesperson.
"It is important that you do not click on the link, and do not provide any details. In the event that you have already done so, please contact your internet service provider as soon as possible."
The ACMA has apologised for the emails as it is responsible for enforcing the Spam Act 2003 which states that it is illegal to send, or cause to be sent, unsolicited commercial electronic messages. The Act covers email, instant message, mobile text messages and video messages of a commercial nature.
In the 2011 financial year, the ACMA sent 4200 informal warnings to businesses about possible Spam Act breaches.

- An access token that allows you to take administrative actions for your application.
These two kinds of access tokens are distinguished by the
phantom type on
AccessToken, which can be
UserKind or
|UserAccessToken :: UserId -> AccessTokenData -> UTCTime -> AccessToken UserKind
|AppAccessToken :: AccessTokenData -> AccessToken AppKind
|Typeable1 AccessToken

type AppAccessToken = AccessToken AppKindSource
Type synonym for
type AccessTokenData = AsciiSource
The access token data that is passed to Facebook's API calls.
hasExpired :: (Functor m, MonadIO m) => AccessToken anyKind -> m BoolSource
True if the access token has expired, otherwise
isValid :: ResourceIO m => AccessToken anyKind -> FacebookT anyAuth m BoolSource
True if the access token is valid. An expired access
token is not valid (see
hasExpired). However, a non-expired
access token may not be valid as well. For example, in the
case of an user access token, they may have changed their
password, logged out from Facebook or blocked your app.
App access token

AccessToken as an app access
getAppAccessToken :: ResourceIO m => FacebookT Auth m AppAccessTokenSource
Get an app access token from Facebook using your credentials.
User access token
Phantom type used mark an
AccessToken as an user access
type RedirectUrl = TextSource
URL where the user is redirected to after Facebook authenticates the user authorizes your application. This URL should be inside the domain registered for your Facebook application.
data Permission Source
A permission that is asked for the user when he authorizes your app. Please refer to Facebook's documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/permissions/ to see which permissions are available.
This is a
newtype of
Text that supports only
This means that to create a
Permission you should use the
OverloadedStrings language extension. For example,
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} perms :: [Permission] perms = ["user_about_me", "email", "offline_access"]
getUserAccessTokenStep1 :: Monad m => RedirectUrl -> [Permission] -> FacebookT Auth m TextSource
The first step to get an user access token. Returns the
Facebook URL you should redirect you user to. Facebook will
authenticate the user, authorize your app and then redirect
the user back into the provider
|:: ResourceIO m
|=> RedirectUrl
Should be exactly the same
as in
|-> [Argument]
Query parameters.
|-> FacebookT Auth m UserAccessToken
The second step to get an user access token. If the user is
successfully authenticate and they authorize your application,
then they'll be redirected back to the
RedirectUrl you've
passed to
getUserAccessTokenStep1. You should take the
request query parameters passed to your
RedirectUrl and give
to this function that will complete the user authentication
flow and give you an
|:: Monad m
|=> UserAccessToken
The user's access token.
|-> RedirectUrl
URL the user should be directed to in your site domain.
|-> FacebookT Auth m Text
Logout URL in
The URL an user should be redirected to in order to log them out of their Facebook session. Facebook will then redirect the user to the provided URL after logging them out. Note that, at the time of this writing, Facebook's policies require you to log the user out of Facebook when they ask to log out of your site.
Note also that Facebook may refuse to redirect the user to the
provided URL if their user access token is invalid. In order
to prevent this bug, we suggest that you use
isValid before
redirecting the user to the URL provided by
since this function doesn't do any validity checks.
extendUserAccessToken :: ResourceIO m => UserAccessToken -> FacebookT Auth m (Either FacebookException UserAccessToken)Source
Extend the expiration time of an user access token (see
Left exc if there is an error while extending, or
Right token with the new user access token (which could have
the same data and expiration time as before, but you can't
assume this). Note that expired access tokens can't be
extended, only valid tokens.

Weird Science
If You Want the Truth about Abortion and Breast Cancer, Beware of the National Cancer Institute

When it comes to science, the Bush administration tries not to let the facts get in the way of its anti-abortion philosophy.
One of the most egregious recent examples: its attempted rewrite of a fact sheet about abortion and breast cancer on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) website. The NCI had posted the web page—which stated that there was no scientifically proven link between abortion and breast cancer—in response to a scare-claim made since the mid-1990s by anti-abortion forces. But after Bush took office, the information abruptly disappeared.
Following widespread criticism from medical experts, members of Congress, advocacy groups and the media, the NCI posted another version of the facts sheet in November, this time calling "inconclusive" those studies that dissociated abortion from an increased risk of breast cancer. Conveniently omitted was the most definitive work on the subject—a 1997 Danish study of 1.5 million women that showed no link.
Andrew von Eschenbach, M.D., the Bush-appointed director of the NCI, downplayed the revisions, saying they represented nothing more than the pursuit of a thorough scientific review because "the data are conflicting." Yet the NCI acknowledge that a factor in its decision was a letter from anti-abortion members of Congress, such as Chris Smith (R-NJ), co-chair of the House Pro-life Caucus, urging Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson to remove the fact sheet for review.
"You'd like to think that the NCI is data driven," says leading breast cancer specialist Susan Love, M.D., author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book. "With the Danish study, everybody in the field felt this question had been answered.
"The purpose of science is to figure out the truth. As soon as you start to limit that inquiry, you jeopardize the entire enterprise, and the NIH (National Institutes of Health) and the NCI lose credibility."
In response to an outcry over the fact sheet's alteration, the NCI assembled more than 100 of the world's experts (including Love) in the fields of early reproductive events and breast cancer. After a three-day review of the scientific literature, the group concluded that the strongest evidence shows abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer.
The NCI then revised the fact sheet once again to reiterate what it had been stating for years. While many were relieved, others caution that this was but one skirmish in an ongoing conflict that has included:
* Weakening a Center for Disease Control fact sheet on condoms, which now stresses abstinence and calls for more research on condom's already proven effectiveness
* Restricting stem cell research to existing cell lines
* Stacking grant review committees in the NIH with homophobic and anti-reproductive rights members. Federal health officials have warned scientists off-the-record to edit out phrases like "sex workers", "men who sleep with men", "anal sex" and "needle exchange" from their funding proposals to study AIDS and other STDs.
* Appointing anti-abortion, anti-birth control advocates to the FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee, including physician W.D. Hager, who prefers not to give birth control to his single patients. He participated in a petition drive to keep mifepristone (RU-486, the abortion pill) off the U.S. market.
"I continue to be deeply troubled by allegations that scientific information that does not fit a rigid Republican agenda is being suppressed by this administration," says Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA.), the ranking minority member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. "If the administration continues to manipulate science, it will be putting the health and well-being of average Americans at risk."

On Choosing a Closed Kitchen
The movement for the last many years has been toward kitchens that are open to living and dining spaces. However, we still love a closed kitchen, set aside as a room with a completely different function from the living spaces. Here are a few that really drive it home for us:
First off, an open kitchen wouldn't generally have a need for a charming door like this one from the Michelle Cooks with Art kitchen tour. These bi-swinging doors with the circular window are a kitchen classic that many of us still want, despite the greater movement to kitchens without doors at all. When entertaining, it can be such a convenience to have the kitchen separated from the public spaces of the home.
Next, no one says a closed kitchen has to feel claustrophobic. A glass door leading to the outdoors can bring in tons of views and sunshine and allow direct access to an outdoor eating area without opening your kitchen to the rest of the home.
Finally, we love the snug and compact feeling of an enclosed galley kitchen. In the third image above, you'll see a narrow galley kitchen with everything within reach. The only thing we're questioning here is the placement of the dishwasher, which is pretty puzzling. Otherwise, we love the narrow proportions of a closed-in galley where you simply turn and turn again throughout the preparation of a meal.
What about you? Do you, like us, throw back to the days when kitchens were enclosed? Or do you prefer they be open to the more public spaces of the house like the living room?

One of America's largest Irish families the 'McCormicks' are being invited home to Ireland for a Clan Gathering in August 2013.
The McCormick Clan Gathering will take place in Ireland from the 9th – 11th of August in the historic town of Kildare.
With over 110,000 McCormicks now living in the United States, the McCormick Clan will celebrate the enormous contribution McCormicks have made to American society.
"The McCormick's are Irelands oldest Clan and can claim ancestry from several Irish high-kings, most notably Cú Chorb mac Moga Chorb, who ruled Ireland in 50 AD."
Amongst those who will be commemorated at the McCormick Clan Gathering will be Irish Americans such as Cyrus McCormick who invented the first harvesting machine, the publishing giant Robert McCormick, and US Naval Commander-in-Chief Lynde McCormick, all who excelled during their lifetimes in the United States.
The McCormick clan will also celebrate its chieftain 'Cormac Gealta Gaoth' who led an army of Irish, Scottish and Cumbrian warriors against the Roman Army inBritain in 87 AD.
With over 20,000 McCormicks now living in New York, and vast numbers living in Massachusetts, Texas, Chicago and California, the McCormick Clan also seek to give recognition to those who continue to excel in all quarters of American society, such as politics, business, acting, sports and within the US Government.
The McCormick Clan can claim as part of its membership actresses such as Kathryn McCormick, business leaders like former US Ambassador William P. McCormick (founder of McCormick Seafood Restaurants), Charles P. McCormick Jr (of Fortune 500 Company McCormick Spices) and Sean McCormick, former US Assistant Secretary of State.
The McCormick Clan Gathering will consist of a three day festival that will include Irish dancing, exhibitions, competitive sports, evening concerts, historical lectures and will finish with a dinner dance and the unveiling of a monument to deceased ancestors of the Clan.
"It is hoped that in excess of 1,500 of the 170,000 McCormicks worldwide will attend the Clan Gathering."
For all those wishing to find out more about the McCormick Clan Gathering they can visit its webpage on Facebook (McCormick Clan Gathering 2013) or contact its main organiser Tomas MacCormaic at 'Dál Cormaic Luisc, Clochrua, Cork,Ireland'; or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ah! The Internet. It's like everyone is staring at me, and at the same time, could care less. So… it's like High School. Yikes.
Well, here I go, locking my fears in the closet and stepping out into the pure pixelated sun-drenched golden age of the internet.
This calls for an introduction. I'm an Angeleno who works at a sex store. My half an hour drive to and from work every day is comparable to that of any adrenaline filled highway chase scene. It's remarkable I'm not dead yet. So I shall give out into the world what I can while I'm still here. After all, I do live and drive in LA.

Starting treatment with a CD4 count between 350-499 cells/mm3, instead of delaying until it falls below 350, may reduce the risk of death by up to a third and lower the risk of AIDS progression by up to one half, according to a study published in the journal AIDS.
In preparation for a review of the 2013 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, researchers analyzed 21 observational studies and three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the benefits and risks of starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) at a CD4 count of 350-499, compared to starting below 350. The researchers found that there were significant advantages to starting ART at 350-499; the only disadvantage was a higher risk of lab abnormalities reported in one RCT.
The WHO currently recommends starting ART in low- to middle-income countries at a CD4 count of 350-499. By contrast, guidelines in a number of high-income countries, including the U.S., recommend that therapy be initiated as close to diagnosis as possible, even at CD4 counts of 500 or more.
The review showed that starting treatment at CD4 counts of 350-499 reduced the risk of death by a quarter according to one RCT (25% lower risk, hazard ratio [HR] 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34 to 1.76), and by almost a third according to combined data from 13 cohort studies (30% lower risk, HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.79), when compared to starting therapy only at CD4 counts below 350.
Two RCTs concluded that such earlier treatment initiation lowered the risk of progression to AIDS or death by half (RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.91), while combined data from nine cohort studies showed such a risk to be 30% lower (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.24).
However, according to one RCT, people who started treatment at CD4 counts of 350-499 had an almost 50% higher chance of grade 3 or 4 lab abnormalities than those beginning ART only at lower CD4 counts (RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.77).
The researchers noted that there was less evidence for the benefits of starting ART at CD4 counts of 500 or more. They hope that the results from two ongoing trials, START and TEMPRANO, will definitively answer the "When to start?" question.

Caliber clarification
Can anyone give clarification on some of the varying calibers and their differences?
For example I see things like...
45 auto
357 Mag
And is there a difference between a .38 and a .380? What IS the difference if so?
Sorry for noobish question but figured you guys would be the ones that know.
Much obliged.

45 auto and 45 ACP are the same thing, ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.
.357 Magnum, This is a magnum with a bullet diameter of 0.357". This one confuses many people, a .38 special also has a .357 diameter bullet but a shorter case than the 357 magnum. (357 magnum is a 38 special with a longer cartdridge case and thus more powder)
357 SIG is basically a .40 caliber pistol case which is necked down to hold a .357 diameter bullet.
380 usually refers to a 380 ACP, 380 Auto, 9mm short, or 9 X 17, other names liekly exist for this caliber. I believe the outside diameter of the case is right about 0.380" where the bullet is seated into it.
.38 and .380, I don't have enough information to answer this question, but again the 0.380" is the diameter of the round.
There are a few different cartridges that carry 38 with them such as 38 special, 38 auto (different than 380 auto), 38 super auto.
I would suggest typing each of the calibers you want to know about into Wikipedia, the information there seems to be accurate.
I hope this helps, it can get confusing.

Cartridge names...
Cartridge names bear only a passing connection to the actual caliber. Basically the cartridge name is what ever the inventor or original manufacturer wants it to be.
Sometimes there is a historical connection, or some descriptive name, but it can simply be what the maker thought would sell best.
To answer specifics, .45 auto is the same as .45ACP. ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.
.357 Magnum is NOT the same as .357 Sig. Other than the numbers (a reference to the caliber bullets fired) they are completely different cartridges, different length and shape.
A reloading manual or an illustrated catalogue from an ammo maker will give you a good comparative visual, and the reloading manuals often contain a brief history of the cartridge as well. I'm sure the info is also online, but I couldn't tell you where to find it, as I'm not well versed in what website has what....
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

With Christmas coming you might want to ask someone to give you the big dog on this topic. 'Cartridges of the World'.
Take note though the book has its detractors - check the one star comments on Amazon. I think the critics have a point but it is still a tremendous reference on the topic.
And as 44 AMP said there is little reason to some of the cartridge names. They have been developed and invented over the years in many different countries when there were no 'standards' committees or regulartory boards and folks just named them whatever they wanted.

The vast majority of the time, 38 is a reference to the 38 special. It's actual caliber is .357 just like the 357 magnum. In fact, the 357 magnum is based on the 38 special but operates at a much higher pressure and it is a bit longer, primarily so that it won't fit in a 38 special revolver that wasn't designed for the higher pressure.
357 Sig is a very different cartridge than the 357 magnum. The 357 magnum is a much longer straight walled and rimmed cartridge designed to work in a revolver. The 357 Sig is a rimless bottle necked cartridge based on a necked down 40 Smith & Wesson cartridge and designed to work in a semi-auto pistol. It's caliber is actually .355, the same as a 9mm.

chillidogs please go to wikipedia or a reloading site and look up the cartidges and you will find some of what you have been told is NOT true. Just what some thing is currect. Not simple to explain the differences between cartidges and even the bullet used by like sized cartidges. .

Of course Kathy Jacksons website is a great summary. When you crave more details and history, wikipedia is a really good source.

Don't know 'bout Pax's article, but the .357 Sig is loaded with a 9mm caliber bullet (.356" dia), not a 38 caliber (.357" dia) caliber bullet. More whys? than why nots.

iraiam For example 380 acp does not measure 380, nothing about it does. Its only a thousands but that also the difference betwen a many others. The 357 sig is not made from 40sw brass ether and as others noted it does not use a .357 bullet. Same .355 as a 9mm but even then with some bullet makers they do list a heavier jacket on the bullet for the "sig cartidge too.
If you try it there will not be enought neck left and the brass will be shorter than needed.
Thats the reason HE and YOU should go to a reloading site or wiki page to find out what HE wants to know.
PAX Your site looks to be general enought to be full of good basic info. Nice looking site.

Miss PAX;
That is an excellent article and commentary on the subject. I was planning on writing something very much like it on my blog, but have just decided not to bother. You've done too well to attempt.

Thanks for the kind words, people.
Please do let me know if you spot any mistakes, no matter how big or small they might be. It's almost impossible to proofread your own work effectively...

I did not say that 357 SIG was made from 40 S&W brass, I said it was "Basically a 40 caliber pistol case necked down to .357", I admit that the .357 was incorrect, and I appreciate the correction. 40 caliber does not mean 40 S&W it means 40 caliber.
I use the term "caliber" in the way it is actually defined. A bullet that measures .357 is a 35 caliber bullet, bullets that measure .308; 30 cal, 310 31cal 311; 31 cal, 312; 31 cal I guess I'm old, sorry for the confusion.

BTW... a good portion of the cartridges that the numerical name is much different than the actual bullet measurement comes from the days of outside lubed bullets ( like a 22 LR ) those were heel seated... when they went away from that style of bullet, they left the case size alone, & made the bullet the size of the heel ( which was of course safe to fire in the older guns originally chambered for the cartridge, since the bullet was smaller... but the accuracy often suffered, which can give a cartridge a bad name... but that another story ) ... then of course there are cartridges like 38-40, actually being 40 caliber, suposedly because they didn't want to call it 40-40 ??? there are numerous rifle cartridges whose creator wanted to use a different number than the bullets actually measure...
... even for those of us, that may have cartridge & or gun collections, seems like there is always some corn fusion between actual caliber, & the cartridge names
In life you either make dust or eat dust...

Based on our work as judges at last month's Air Guitar Championships, John thought I might possess some kind of keen observation skills (I could really differentiate between delivering a perfect-squish-face-6.0 score and a close-but-no-Van-Halen measly 4.8 to the contestants). So after hitting some of the Mission Creek fest for Fecal Face, he's offered me a blog on sorta music-related goings on in San Francisco. Below is a random collection of the things I've perused over the past week or two. I apologize in advance for the quality of some of the photos - some day I'll learn more than two settings on my camera.
I get invited to some weird shit sometimes -- and as a rule, I never pass up a booze cruise. So on a recent summer night, I had visions of sailing the Bay aboard the massive battleship S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, cocktails in hand.
Unfortunately the crew relayed that not only was the O'Brien not a battleship (it was just a stinkin' cargo ship) but that it also would not be leaving the port.
That did not mean, however, that the hull of the ship couldn't display some wicked information on Sea Perils! I think we encountered a peril later that night. Or maybe it was a sea lion.
I have no idea how I got on the guest list for this Xingolati party -- a group I've since learned operates huge Burning Man-crowd vacation cruises with bands like the Flaming Lips -- since a) the one and only time I went to Burning Man was over six years ago and b) I'm not the type to drop references to life on "the Playa" in everyday conversation. But hey, my friends and I were in agreement that Burning Man people are very friendly, so we hung there for a while.
This guy was playing into the sink by the bathroom, and it echoed into all of the stalls. [editor's note: I think these people's photo looks better sideways. I don't think I can handle that shirt that guys is wearing above vertically!]
There were many conversations about hot springs and organic fuel alternatives in between sets from DJs spinning free-love one-world sorta music. [or any of these shirts]
But really, it was pretty amazing to sip gratis wine at sunset aboard the Battleship Burning Man.
After the boat, we were released into world of Fisherman's Wharf on a Friday night! Which was crazy! How crazy? Fried-food-hamburger-chain-place-crazy!
From there we went to the Hemlock to see garage punks the Country Teasers, who are a bunch of witty crummudeons who talk shit about everyone and everything to the delight of snarky smart-asses everywhere.
The show was fun, it was packed, and it made dance partners out of the most unlikely-looking companions.
I was disappointed that the same big crowd hadn't packed the house for the Tough & Lovely show at the Hemlock a couple nights before. T&L re-work '60s girl-group songs into original garage pop 'n' roll. The singer belted her lyrics like a woman whose heart isn't to be messed with. (Check out their MySpace page ...especially "Hard to Love Me.")
What else? Last weekend a Japanese MC named Tigarah had her first show in San Francisco. She's being touted as the "Japanese M.I.A." and her music was a mishmash of hip hop, funk, crunk, and a whole bucha other stuff from around the world. She and her Brazilian DJ, Mr. D, were decked out in the colors of baile funk, the yellows and greens of Brazil.
Tigarah played the Rickshaw for club Loaded, a good match even though the crowd didn't know her stuff well enough to dance much during her set (her CD isn't even out yet, although she does have some songs online). The show itself felt a little raw as it went along - it needs more time, polish, and definitely more bass.
But hey, at the end of the night, it was Loaded, and people danced.
Saturday we went back to the Hemlock. I swear I don't only go to shows at the Hemlock. But here's Tony from the Hemlock and Tim, who's played sax for Comets on Fire and Howlin' Rain and lots of other people.
The headliner that night was Howlin' Rain, Ethan Miller from Comets' new band. Ethan calls the music "van rock" and it has a slightly mellower vibe then Comets (keeping some of the good feedback freakouts and cool guitar work intact). You can actually hear Ethan's rapsy, salt-of-the-earth singing, which is awesome. (image 866, image 900)
What it feels like to stand in the Howlin' Rain.
Monday night was totally "smells like teen spirit" at Bottom of the Hill for Liars.
I mean that in a good way. The club was sweaty and packed and it was the start of the work week and being a sold out show at Bottom of the Hill it was impossible to see anything but your neighbor's dandruff. But these kids totally lit up the room from the opening acts, slamming into each other, pouring water on one another, and basically projecting that "holy shit I fucking love this band don't you" vibe that you really only get (with that level of enthusiasm) from total drunks - who, when they try to mosh, tend to crush your feet. But these guys were the best. The reminded me of jumping around at shows when I was a teenager in Portland, only it was like Camper Van Beethoven and stuff back then.
The kids also made me think how cool it is that the Internet has opened people still sporting braces up to shit like Liars. This is music with no hooks, no choruses really, nothing but deep rhythm (two drummers and guitar) and chanting and scorching white noise like a Sonic Youth makeout anthem. So while the Red Hot Chili Peppers shit out another two gold bricks of mall funk for their high school brethren, these younguns found their long-haired messiah in Angus, the lanky Australian front man for Liars. Smart choice.
All the bands playing that night had a singular moniker. First up was Rabbits, and then Apes (who had a totally different singer all the times I've seen them before. The last dude was like a cross between Devendra Banhard and Charles Manson, and the new guy - who introduced himself as "the new guy" looked like this.)
Apes' music was a good match with Liars. Apes had that intense, arty San Diego/GSL sound that's equal parts PiL-goth and dirgy Stooges grind. The lyrics were delayed so much they were like runny egg yolks sliding down the speakers. The band was just keyboards, a singer, drums, and one guitar - but the guitar sound was so full and so loud I think this guy bore a hole into my ear drums and excavated the last of my hearing during their set.
The night was all about Liars, though. Not only were their songs the most complex - and weirdly soothing, in their beyond-the-fray-metallic-jams-but they came on stage in a bundle of clothing that the trio stripped off in layers. Angus had his weird pajamas-in-prison thing going on towards the end. It must be a statement about penal colonies.
Magic (if you ignore that that kid's hand is pushing the back of the girl's shirt up a bit high).
Hello and welcome to the first edition of "My Life Is Ruining My Life". If you are wondering how I got a music column on fecalface the answer is I asked. If you are wondering how qualified I am to write a music column the answer is I am not really. I have a lot of records and I have a lot of opinions and I have a computer I can type on so maybe that qualifies me. Or maybe its just that I said to John one day "Hey can I write a free form music column on fecal? I have a lot of opinions and I ramble on about things a lot." And John said yes. That's kind of how it went anyway. I hope you are not expecting me to write about all the hottest bands and how good their show was and how their record is going to be the next big thing because I probably won't be writing about that. I am getting free form to do what I want or at least write about what happens.
Let me tell you about what I thought was going to make a great first column but didn't turn out how I expected at all. A few months ago right after I first approached John about this column I saw there was a High On Fire show going on in my neighborhood. It was at 12 Galaxies and I remember Gargantula played too. They were great by the way. It's people from B'last and Spaceboy and it sounds like that genre of Santa Cruz metal but a little catchier than Spaceboy was. I can't say they are better than B'last just because when I first heard "Start The Machine" it changed my life. Not my whole life but seeing Jason Jesse skate to that song in a video when I was a wee lad growing up on the east coast it made me realize there was another world out there and it's called California. I actually just got up from the computer and put on "Take the Manic Ride" from B'last after writing that last sentence. There is so much nostalgia in my record collection it makes me feel old but in a good way. Not the "been there done that" way but the "damn those were good times and I got see some amazing things when they were happening" way. Wait a second, I am rambling too much, back to my story. That what the readers want right?
I thought "this is my opportunity to really impress people with a High On Fire interview in my first column". I figured I see Matt Pike (vocals/guitar) around. We have some mutual friends. I have talked to him before. It will be no problem. I put new batteries in my mini tape recorder, I wrote out some questions I thought would be funny. I read them later and they weren't. Now, all I had to do was find Matt and ask some questions right? Well the only time I actually saw him was while they were playing and I don't think he saw me, and that would not really be the time to do an interview. Maybe I should try that sometime though. Yell a question to a band as they are between songs. So here I am now reflecting on that night and thinking about what I did manage to do. First I managed to get really drunk. There is a liquor store up the street that has cheaper drinks than the club and there is a nice set of steps between the two to drink with your friends on. Good times. And the other thing I did manage to do was record some really dumb things on my tape recorder. One of which was my friend telling me on the drunken walk to another bar afterwards about some retarded relative who shat out 2 feet of their intestine and how the toilet was filled with intestine. Totally gross story but maybe more interesting than just another interview. Maybe not. Either way High On Fire did kill it.
I hope my ramblings are enjoyable to someone. If not then "Ha! Ha! I have a column so I can say what I want!" Write to me if you want. I have an email address. Thanks for reading.

Hotel at a Glance: The Omni Homestead Resort
Since it first opened in 1766, The Omni Homestead Resort has enjoyed a reputation as one of the country's most luxurious resorts, with a prestigious guest book that includes more than 20 US presidents. Golfing legend Sam Snead honed his game on the onsite Cascades Course, and the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts once strolled the grand halls and gaming lawns. Today The Homestead—set on 2,300 acres in the Allegheny Mountains—is as grand as ever. An outdoor water park was recently added to the property, and from 2011 to 2014, the resort was named one of the world's best by Travel + Leisure magazine, which called it "the uncontested grande dame of the Allegheny Mountains."
The AAA Four Diamond resort's popularity has always been influenced by its proximity to natural mineral springs. Take a soak in the healing waters that Thomas Jefferson claimed to be "of the first merit" at the Jefferson Pools, where the mineral content is so high you'll float with ease. Other presidents, including William Howard Taft and Dwight D. Eisenhower, favored the resort's golf courses. Play a round on the Old Course, which dates back to 1892 and boasts the oldest first tee in continuous use in the nation.
The property's mountainous environs make it an ideal base for outdoor recreation. Catch a glimpse of waterfalls on a guided hike along the Cascades Gorge trail, or paddle down the Jackson River in a canoe or kayak.
The onsite restaurants and bars include Jefferson's Restaurant and Bar and the sophisticated Main Dining Room. At night, you'll retire to a guest room or suite decorated in a traditional Virginian style.
Bath County, Virginia: Warm Mineral Springs amid Allegheny Mountains
Bath County—a highlands region in western Virginia—is so named for its wealth of natural thermal springs that can reach temperatures upward of 100 degrees. Since the early 1700s, visitors such as George Washington have traveled to Bath County for a relaxing soak said to promote mental and physical well-being.
This area is also known for its unspoiled scenery. Spend an afternoon hiking the trails that wend through forests next to freshwater streams. Or hop in your car for a scenic drive on country roads that crest over the Allegheny Mountains.
Bath County supports a prolific arts community. At the Garth Newel Music Center, you can enjoy an intimate concert followed by a gourmet meal with the musicians. The center also hosts festivals and champagne brunches throughout the year.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know there is now an unofficial "Friends of Papua New Guinea" website. Its address is http://alexander.us.fm/png - check it out and Enroll so that we can create a directory of RPCVs from PNG.
Also, some RPCVs from PNG are currently investigating the possibility of creating an official group but we'd like to see the interest from some of the other groups besides groups 28-31.
If you Enroll on the website, you can post messages on a discussion board, post items of interest on the webpage, get a contact list of Enrolled RPCVs, and more. We'll also be implementing a gallery for video and pictures soon.
If anyone is interested in helping maintain the site or has any ideas as to new functionality that would be useful, just let me know.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Joel Alexander

IMAGINE.......a new wave street magic style effect that is as close to dematerialization as it gets. You start clean, end clean. No special set up, ready to do at a moments notice.
You walk up to a vertical object such as a street sign, pole, parking meter, gate, etc... and place both arms around it. Cleanly and slowly you interlock your fingers tightly together forming a solid circle out of your arms and hands. The beady little eyes of your audience just a few feet away suddenly fall out as they watch you visibly & undeniably pull your interlocked hands through the vertical object. Your hands are IMMEDIATELY shown so they do not confuse you with being a ghost, but an immortal being.
Ki can be performed with a multitude of vertical objects. Any object you can interlock your hands around can be used!!! Indoors or Outdoors!!! Just a few examples:
Do you own this product? Write a review.

To the Editor:
I would like to respond to the article in Thursday's paper which stated the reason trash carts were not emptied was because people put their recycle cart away once it was emptied, before the trash had been collected. That was not always the case!
I left my recycle cart out, after it had been emptied, and our trash still was never picked up! Now I'm being told I have to wait another week for trash removal with temperatures soaring into the 90s today!
Mr. Picozzi, is this really a wise decision not to send out a truck to 400-plus homes that will have overflowing trash by next week, regardless of whether or not a recycle cart was also curbside? This system was only implemented two weeks ago. Maybe citizens should be given the benefit of the doubt until you come up with a schedule, in which the sanitation trucks precede the recycling ones.

I too left my emptied recycle cart out only to have my trash cart skipped. Maybe it was an accident, but this week my recycle cart will also have trash in it in addition to the paper and bottles. I have no other place to put it.
