The Civil War was one of the pivotal events in American history, a conflict that encompassed every aspect of 19th century America, from its revolutionary heritage to its expanding continental empire. The war's significance has been the subject of scholarship for generations and has provided inspiration for some of the finest literature in American history. Every generation finds itself drawn to the Civil War, as well it should be. The war involved larger than life characters, worthy of Homer, doing battle over the greatest issues of any age.
Iowa, the "Beautiful Land" between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, was a frontier state on the cutting edge of every issue of the Civil War. Iowa was a Union state and a Republican stronghold, which sent thousands of its sons to the struggle. Their graves stretch from Missouri to Virginia. Iowa's politicians and civilian population played critical roles throughout the war, from the halls of Congress in Washington DC to the state capital in Des Moines, and in every Iowa town, village, and farm. Each Iowa community shares a Civil War heritage, a part of the nation's legacy of that terrible conflict.
Free Child of the Missouri Compromise is volume one of a three-volume, comprehensive history of Iowa's role in the Civil War, the first to be published in 130 years. It begins with the events and issues that led up to the war and ends with the decisive Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862.436 pages, illustrated, notes, maps, bibliography, index, cloth with dust jacket.

This is the first detailed study of the campaign of Samuel R. Curtis's Army of the Southwest following its important victory at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas (March 7-8, 1862). After the withdrawal of Earl Van Dorn's Confederate army from northwest Arkansas, General Curtis's next obvious move was to capture Little Rock, the state capital. Poor roads, raging rivers, tenuous supply lines, and harassing Rebel cavalry made for a meandering march back up into Missouri, then down into Arkansas along the White River. For the first time a Union army had to depend on foraging off the enemy's resources for much of its sustenance—a feat repeated more famously two years later in General William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea." Ultimately, Curtis had to abandon his attempt at Little Rock and instead led his army through to Helena, arriving in mid-July.
Bob Schultz has thoroughly researched his book in private archives, period newspaper accounts, published and unpublished soldiers' diaries, letters, and memoirs, and the Army and Navy Official Records. Includes the maps, many published for the first time, drawn by Lyman G. Bennett of the 36th Illinois Infantry.

Joe Michaud, author of Along the Iron Curtain (see above), has seen years of boom and bust since he opened his first used book stall at the Antique Mall in Iowa City, Iowa. It's a bookish place, Iowa City—UNESCO's "City of Literature" (one of only five, and the only one in the United States), and home of the world famous University of Iowa's Writer's Workshop. There have always been used book stores here, and Joe has operated The Bookery at one location or another since 1984. Now that he has officially retired from the used book business, Joe has written a memoir of his years buying and selling used books in the eastern Iowa area. Included are thumbnail sketches of 48 used and non-corporate, new book dealers, past and present, that have given this university town a part of its literary cachet.8½ x 11" paperback, 146 pages, with 48 illustrations. (2009; ISBN 978-1-929919-21-5) $18.00. Copies are available at bookinginiowa.com.
Author Joe Michaud originally intended to write a single volume about the book culture of Iowa City. The project grew so large that he had to split it into two books, the first of which, his memoir of 25 years in the used book business, we published in 2009 (Booking in Iowa: The Book Trade In and Around Iowa City, A Look Back). So he has been at work on the present volume Iowa City, City of the Book: Writing, Publishing, and the Book Arts in the Heartland for at least three years. Having edited the book, I can vouch for the fact that it was an enormous undertaking. Based on research and interviews, City of the Book attempts to present all aspects of Iowa City's unique book culture, from the communitywide programs celebrating our exciting new status as a UNESCO "City of Literature" (the only one within a 3078 mile radius); to a historical review of writing in Iowa City and the numerous University of Iowa departments that foster all aspects of writing, printing, publishing, and making books; to the private individuals, companies, and libraries who write, publish, print, promote, sell, collect, lend, and repair books. Joe has attempted to find, photograph, and interview everyone who could conceivably fit into one of these categories and tell his or her story. Some were difficult to find; some were undoubtedly overlooked by accident; some, unfortunately, didn't want to be involved. I have to say I marvel at the scope of this book, and I think Joe has brought off the writing of it admirably.
8½ x 11" paperback, 272 pages, with 190 photos, bibliography, and index. (2011; ISBN 978-1-929919-33-8) $21.95. Copies are available online at City of the Book
Lee Miller, a retired engineer living in Muscatine, Iowa, has always been interested in the Civil War. He spent six years researching and writing a history of Crocker's Iowa Brigade. His work on that book drew his attention to the Muscatine County Civil War Memorial, where he noticed a conspicuous disparity between the number of names displayed on the memorial and the actual number of Muscatine County soldiers who died during the Civil War. The explanation was that when the memorial was built in 1875, the full account of Iowa's Civil War dead had not been completed.
Miller became chairman of the Muscatine County Civil War Memorial Committee and raised over $270,00 for a new memorial, which was dedicated on July 4, 2011. This new monument bears the full complement of 513 names of Muscatine County men who died in the Civil War.
Miller's work on the Monument Committee brought to his attention the fact that over 40% of those names come from one regiment, the 35th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. Thus he was inspired to write the first regimental history of the 35th.
The 35th Iowa had a unusually active combat record. Beginning with the Siege of Vicksburg, the regiment fought at Jackson, Pleasant Hill, Yellow Bayou, Old River Lake, Tupelo, Nashville, and Spanish Fort. Forty-nine offices and men were killed or mortally wounded in combat, including their beloved commander Sylvester Hill, and another 188 died of disease.
Based on primary material and contemporary sources, Triumph & Tragedy is a 6 x 9 quality paperback, 154 pages, and features 29 maps, photographs, and illustrations, a full roster, and index. (Published 2012, ISBN: 978-1-929919-41-3). $12.00.
I worked with author Larry Freiheit for a year and a half to bring out his original study of cavalry operations before, during, and after the Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862). Published in time for the 150th anniversary of the battle, this massive study, the product of years of research and topographical analysis, will surely be the definitive scholarly resource on this aspect of the Civil War for years to come. The author's interest in the Civil War began when he moved from Washington, DC, to Ashburn (formerly Farmwell), VA. After retiring from employment with the U.S. Veterans Administration in 2000, he decided to continue his education by pursuing a master's degree. The nucleus of Boots and Saddles was a paper he wrote for a graduate history class in 2006. Painstakingly researched in primary and secondary sources and thoroughly documented and annotated, Boots and Saddles: Cavalry During the Maryland Campaign of September 1862 is a 594-page, 8½ x 11" hardcover, with over 200 maps, photographs, and illustrations. Included is a driving tour written by Craig Swain, with modern maps and GPS coordinates. For the second edition, author Larry Frieheit has made several corrections and updated his sources to include recent research into this Civil War campaign. More info.

THE TOUGHEST MAN IN MONTANA: PIKE LANDUSKY AND HIS GENERATION, by Gene Murdock. Gene Murdock was a local historian down in southeast Missouri, a colleague of author Bob Schmidt, and a sometime customer of the Camp Pope Bookshop. He had written several books on local Civil War subjects and published them himself under the name of Murdock's Historical Publications. Unfortunately Gene died in 2012, leaving a manuscript about a notorious Montana pioneer named Pike Landusky, originally from Gene's part of Missouri, who gained fame as a cattleman, miner, scout, and Indian fighter, until being murdered in his own saloon by the gunfighter Kid Curry (of the Hole in the Wall Gang). Gene's widow Elaine thought it would be a shame to see all of her husband's research go to waste, so she contacted me to have Gene's last book published. The Toughest Man In Montana thoroughly tracks the genealogy of the Landusky family, while telling the true history of Powell "Pike" Landusky, a story that some tried to sully after the pioneer's death. The Toughest Man in Montana is a 202 page paperback with maps, photographs, appendices, bibliography, and an index. (Published 2013; ISBN 978-1-929919-47-5). $18.00.

Pineapple Express (US - BD)
Marcus takes another hit of Pineapple Express and just keeps enjoying it...
Dale Denton (Seth Rogan) is a process server. He spends his day driving about town delivering subpoenas or popping into visit his teenage girlfriend Angie (Amber Heard) at her high school. Also a major part in Dale's day is weed, and today his drug dealer Saul Silver (James Franco) has something new, something special, and it's called Pineapple Express—a rare strain of cannabis which Dale decides to purchase after his first sniff.
Later that evening, whilst sitting outside the home of his next job, Dale lights up his first taste of Pineapple Express but this time he gets a hit he wasn't expecting. He witnesses drug lord Ted Jones (Gary Cole), and cop Carol (Rosie Perez) execute an Asian man. Dale panics and drives away in a panic, but not before being seen by Ted and throwing his pineapple express blunt out of his car window.
Ted picks up the discarded roach and knows it's Pineapple Express. Unfortunately for Dale, it's so rare that Ted, who's mad about murder, knows exactly who's been selling it and now Dale and Saul are on the run.
Pineapple Express was one of my favourite movies of 2008 and watching it again was a joy. Seth Rogan and his co-writer Evan Goldberg have created a movie that somehow manages to keep a fine balance between the action without the comedy suffering and vice versa. This is in large part thanks to David Gordon Green who brings his skills to the genre of comedy but Pineapple Express's real success comes down to a damn funny screenplay and cast.
At the centre of this caper movie is Rogan's Dale and Franco's Saul. This is a buddy movie pairing that's fits snugly alongside many a classic buddy pairings. Dale is essentially the guy who doesn't even realise that they are buddies and Saul is basically the sweetest guy in the world who really wants to be Dale's friend. How this plays out is pretty much like the relationship in a romantic comedy, with the moments where you know these guys should be together forever but somehow the plot just keeps getting in the way.
Rogan is on top form here and his run of great comedic performances just keeps on going. His delivery is absolutely fantastic and his realism within the crazy situations is really the x factor he has above many of the other actors in his field. As for Franco, his performance is one of my favourites of 2008. As mentioned on the features and pretty obvious from the movies first trailer, Saul Silver is inspired by Brad Pitt's stoner character, Floyd, from True Romance, so from the get go I was on board because I've always loved that character anyway. What Franco brings out for Saul is a character who isn't your typical drug dealer even though he is on the surface. Saul is a sweetheart who loves his Grandma and he's obviously intelligent, but beyond all that he's a stoner. The comedy that comes out of his performance somehow just makes you like the character even more. Yes he's funny, but it all just seems to add to the character rather than be a point and laugh at the stoned guy routine. These are just two characters I'd just want to hang out with and for me that's one of the key elements of what makes a buddy movie pairing work.
Outside of the leads the supporting cast are all allowed to shine. Danny McBride brings plenty to the proceedings as Red, even if it takes a little while to really warm to him. The henchmen pairing of Kevin Corrigan and Craig Robinson is a nice little alternative relationship to follow though the movie and Gary Cole and Rosie Perez have a few good scenes together despite playing a pretty clichéd set of bad guys for this sort of movie (see the villains in Dumb and Dumber and See No Evil, Hear no Evil for more examples of this—it sort of just comes with the territory).
Pineapple Express is a blast from start to finish (a feat not always possible in a multi genre movie). It's a movie packed with fantastic lines and dialogue, brilliant characters, one of the best fight scenes of the year, which includes getting hit by ashtrays, faces in cat litter boxes, lots of nut-punching and one hell of a final slam into a wall "This ends now!". What's more it's got a lot of heart and the small moments between Dale and Saul and later on Red just makes for a feel good buddy movie that I can see myself re-watching a lot.
The first thing that struck me with Pineapple Express is how clean the image was. With many of the scenes naturally lit and no real overuse of colourising or stylising scenes. The movie just looks gloriously natural. Colours and details are all incredibly sharp with many of the warmly sunlit exterior shots being some of the best I've seen for a comedy movie.
Real standouts are facial textures and the details in the many of the location shoots that the story takes Dale and Saul to. The woods where they park their car look incredible in the afternoon sun and many of the back alleys all look great with their sunlit brick walls covered in graffiti. As for darker scenes, these also hold up pretty well with only a few night-time scenes looking a little, almost unnoticeably, patchy in places. Saying that though, most of the night scenes are still very well lit, especially when there's a huge fire blazing in the closing scenes.
Despite Pineapple Express not being the most visually exciting movie of all time, there's no denying just how great this HD transfer looks and beyond the tiniest of factors I can barely fault it.
Bearing in mind the majority of Pineapple Express is dialogue based, the audio does a great job. Everything is clear and crisp and the shouting in the many arguments all sound great.
As for the action elements, this is where the audio really shows itself off. The big car chase sounds as good as any big Hollywood actioner (though maybe not on the scale of a Michael Bay extravaganza) and the fights all hold up to what they are trying to emulate. The big show off is the closing scenes where there are gun fights, fist fights and explosions. All feel like legitimate big budget affairs and use the 5.1 set up to great effect.
First up you get a slightly extended version of the movie which runs about five minutes different. Then for the actual extra features, we get our usual great commentary from Apatow and Co., featuring Judd Apatow, Seth Rogan, James Franco, Ed Begley (for about fifteen minutes), Danny McBride, Evan Goldberg, Craig Robinson (briefly), Rosie Perez and David Gordon Green (as well as a few other brief inputs), who provide a bloody great listen along that's full of laughs, full of stories behind the movie and just plenty of quirky stories that truly warrant taking up the time to listen.
Beyond that, once again an Apatow produced movie comes packed floor to ceiling with features. The making of (21:08) is a great watch with a lot of background to how the movie came about and 'The Action of Pineapple Express (12:19) goes into how they designed and came up with the action in what is essentially a comedy stoner movie.
'Line-o-rama' (03:28) shows off the different variations on the gags as per usual and 'Direct-O-Rama' gives us an insight into some of David Gordon Green's direction off camera. We also get a nice batch of deleted scenes (03:27) and extended and alternate scenes (21:06) as well as a great little gag reel (04:55). Adding to the alternate look at things, we get a look at the phone call scenes as well (06:25) which shows Seth's character being happy and then angry, with the laughs coming from Judd Apatow standing in as Amber Heard's character (who had not been cast yet) on the other end of the call.
We also get the fun opportunity to hang out with many of these characters in some additional footage that I'd imagine was made during the making of the movie between scenes or in pre-production in a form of finding the characters tone— which either way is all great stuff. 'Item 9' (04:17) shows a spoof U.S. government video from the fifties that shows the effects of three subjects trying cannabis for the first time. This includes some of the faces from Apatow movies, including Justin Long being funny as hell. 'Saul's Apartment' (13:46) shows a number of the supporting cast hanging out in Saul's apartment which is funny and playful. 'Red & Jessica's Guide to Marriage (04:12) is a nice spotlight on Danny McBride's Will Ferrell-esq humour, 'Stuntmaster Ken' (03:12) is a great spoof using Apatow favourite Ken Jeong as a bad ass stuntman. Also there's a weird little sketch/advertisement for Begley's Best (05:43), which I'm assuming is a real product, but maybe not.
And there's still even more to come. There's thirty-two minutes of raw footage for four scenes, an 'Injury Report' (04:56) showing just how bashed up Rogan got and the stitches James Franco got running into a tree as well as a few more goofy elements. We get 'Rehearsal Footage with the Police Liaison' (05:40) which speaks for itself, as well as a 'Table Read' (08:36) and a great snippet from the 'Comic Con Panel' (07:83) last year.
Rounding it all up there's the fantastic 'Red Band trailer' (02:47) as well as trailers for Superbad, Stepbrothers (the other awesome buddy movie pairing of last year) The Wackness, Resident Evil Degeneration and a Blu-ray advert as well as Blu-ray Live which never fails to annoy me in its slowness. Oh and there's a digital copy as well.
All in all another fantastic little package of features for an Apatow movie, the vast majority of which was a blast to watch .
I really, really like Pineapple Express and it's one of the highlights of 2008 in my opinion. Watching it again was a blast and anyone who's a fan of the other Apatow involved movies, Seth Rogan projects or good, well written comedy in general should take a great deal from this.
I found this hugely enjoyable on what is my third viewing of the movie, in fact the only tiny issue I can really pick at is the omission of the M.I.A Paper Planes track which was featured so prominently and effectively in the film's trailer which doesn't show up in the movie anywhere (despite there being a good few places where it would have fit snugly).
This Blu-ray release is an impressive one in all departments and made viewings this movie that I already knew I liked, all the more rewarding because of it. This one comes highly recommended.

Forever Love
By: Legacy Staff
5 years ago
Lisa L. Montalvo's obituary reads like a set of love notes from her family to their beloved wife, mother and daughter. Written as much to her as about her, the obituary includes loving tributes from her "husband, best friend, soul mate," their two daughters, and her mom.
Lisa died last week unexpectedly at home in North Canton, Ohio.
"I am truly a better man having loved and known you," Lisa's husband Francisco wrote. "I hope I can make you proud as you look down on me and our family and ensuring God continues to bless our family. You are my angel who was taken from me much too soon, but I will forever love you and treasure the memories we have together."
From her daughter Payton: "Even through all the bad times, I know she loves me and I love her. I would trade anything to have her back. I love you so much Momma!"
From daughter Madison: "I know she is always here for me even through all my silly teenage drama and my endless complaints. I didn't make her job easy, in fact, I don't know how she deals with me. But I thank her for standing by me and all my craziness. She deserved to get well and live a full and pain free life, but God had a different plan and at least I know she is not suffering."
And from her mother, Glenda L. Vierheller: "I will never try to take your place but now that you are with God in heaven, I only can hope to fill the void created by your physical absence in the girls' lives. You have been the best daughter any mother could ever dream or ask for."
In addition to beloved wife, mother and daughter, Lisa is described as being a physical therapist, a true friend, church-going woman, and someone a great many people cared for and about.
Here's how the obituary tribute closes: "I will miss your smile, but most of all I will miss your laugh that could brighten any cloudy day. I know that God's plan will someday bring me home with you and I look forward to that day when we can once again hug and kiss each other in heaven. I never said this to you enough, but I am so very proud of you and want you to know I think you are a fantastic and wonderful mother. … We are all looking forward to getting to heaven and experience the all you can eat buffet where there is no calories and no guilt and where we will be skinny forever."

Long Range Planning
Updated Information as of September 26, 2014
reFORM: Zoning reFORMs for a New Chapter of City Building
An exciting wave of new development in Lincoln's core area, overcoming the lingering uncertainties of the global economic recession, has energized the entire community, creating a new layer of activity, of interesting places, and new options for living, working, shopping and recreating.
This wave of new development is fulfilling the promise for the core area that has been laid out for many years in the City's Comprehensive Plan. But the latest edition of that plan also contains a new promise - that this energy, which takes the form of taller, denser, mixed-use development, can ripple out from the core area to revitalize and enhance other parts of the City.
The reFORM proposal lays out a set of objectives and strategies for reFORMing the City's zoning code. It includes proposals to encourage this next potential layer of City development while remaining sensitive to the needs of existing neighborhoods for stability and protection.
Over the next several months, Planning staff will conduct outreach efforts to stakeholders to receive comments and answer questions from the public on the latest version of the package of proposals.

If you missed attending an open house, you can view the presentation:
Contact us if you have questions, comments or need more information at 402-441-7491 (ask about reFORM) or email email@example.com
Below are three updated documents that provide summarized visual and detailed information on the reFORM package of proposals. Please review this information, provide your comments through the comment board below or by contacting the Planning staff.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal regulatory agency that was created in 1972 by Congress in the Consumer Product Safety Act. CPSC has jurisdiction over about 15,000 types of consumer products, from automatic-drip coffee makers to toys to lawn mowers. Some types of products, however, are covered by other federal agencies. For example, cars, trucks and motorcycles are covered by the Department of Transportation; drugs and cosmetics are covered by the Food and Drug Administration; alcohol, tobacco and firearms are covered by the Department of the Treasury. CPSC works to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths from consumer products by: developing voluntary standards with industry; issuing and enforcing mandatory standards: banning consumer products if no feasible standard would adequately protect the public; obtaining the recall of products or arranging for their repair; conducting research on potential product hazards; informing and educating consumers through the media, state and local governments, private organizations, and by responding to consumer inquiries.

Renowned Scientist Philippe Leboulch to Discuss Breakthroughs in Sickle Cell Disease Research
Dr. Philippe Leboulch, a highly regarded professor and researcher at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, will give a talk at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) on Friday, Sept. 30, about the possibility of gene therapy cures for sickle cell disease. The lecture will be held at 3:15 p.m. in UTD's McDermott Library Auditorium, and a question and answer session will follow.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects the hemoglobin protein found in red blood cells. In persons with the disease, the red blood cells become sickle, or crescent, shaped due to the abnormal hemoglobin and often become lodged in blood vessels. The lack of blood flow as a result of these blockages can result in tissue damage, severe recurrent pain, strokes and organ damage.
Leboulch, along with a team of researchers, successfully created a gene therapy cure in a sickle cell diseased mouse. A main goal of his research is to gain understanding of the basic principles that govern the chromosomal integration and regulation of genetic structures.
Leboulch comes to UTD as a guest of the university's Sickle Cell Disease Research Center, which is participating in a National Sickle Cell Awareness Month campaign being held throughout the country during the month of September. The goal of the effort, whose theme is "Discover the Cure," is to call attention to the effects of sickle cell disease and highlight the efforts to find a cure.
For more information about the lecture, please call UTD's Sickle Cell Disease Research Center at 972-883-6230.

WHO 2013 Guidelines: What About the Missing Formulations?
July/August 2013
The launch of the WHO "Consolidated guidelines on the use of antiretroviral drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection" at IAS 2013 caused quite a stir. 1 Glimpses of the top line recommendations in the run up to their release provoked much discussion -- particularly about when to start -- which continued throughout the conference.
Unlike previous editions of the guidelines, the consolidated guidelines combine recommendations for adults and adolescents, pregnant women and children. They also make recommendations on operations and service delivery.
They call for countries to start treatment in all HIV positive adults with a CD4 count of 500 cells/mm3 or less, and to start at any CD4 count in several populations. The recommendation to start earlier plus widening other criteria immediately increase the number of people eligible for treatment from 16.7 to 25.9 million. The recommendations are based on a mix of evidence for the benefit to individual health , reduction in transmission risk, operational considerations and aspiration.
"Earlier, safer and simpler antiretroviral therapy can push the HIV epidemic into irreversible decline", the press release announced. This review in HTB only briefly summarises the "earlier" recommendations, which have been discussed at length elsewhere (although any offer of treatment to a healthy, asymptomatic person makes little sense without modern antiretrovirals), and focuses on the "safer and simpler" aspects of the recommended antiretroviral options.
At times the guidelines swerve between aspirational -- for children options are largely based on formulations that are not yet commercially available -- and unambitious -- in the case of the omission of a generally preferred adult PI conversely because a suitable formulation is not currently available -- but largely give us plenty to push for, including drugs and formulations not yet included.
Treatment and management of adults and adolescents in 2013 guidelines
When to start?
What to start?
Adult first-line recommendations are certainly simple with a reduced number of preferred regimens. Triple fixed dose combinations (FDCs) of the preferred regimen efavirenz (EFV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and 3TC are available, as are those for the alternative ones. See Table 1.
There is a strong recommendation that "countries should discontinue d4T use in first-line regimens because of its well recognised metabolic toxicities". The guidance for programme managers' section also includes a box with key implementation considerations for phasing out d4T. What is not discussed is when to start in settings where a prompt transition from d4T has not occurred and is not happening an estimated one million people in developing countries are still receiving this drug see the related article by Simon Collins below.
UNITAID recently announced an initiative to enable better access to TDF-based FDCs by stimulating market competition and reducing prices by at least 30%. 1 Current annual costs are over 30 percent more for a TDF-based FDC than a d4T-based one respectively US$ 130 vs US$ 79 per person per year 1 this initiative should help to spur along more rapid phase out.
The recommendation to start with EFV includes pregnant women and a number of people have remarked that this is complicated to explain to health workers as the labeling for EFV still says that it is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Widespread EFV use can provoke concern from communities, particularly people that have experienced or witnessed bad CNS side effects. The ENCORE1 study presented at the conference which found 400 mg non-inferior to the standard dose of 600mg also found significantly fewer participants discontinuing treatment due to EFV-related side effects and fewer reporting them in the lower dose arm. 11 This approach is promising and the 400 mg dose might be a better component of future FDCs but more information is needed on the durability of the lower dose in the presence of concomitant rifampicin.
For second-line boosted PIs the guidelines recommend lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r).
The usually preferred boosted PI, darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) is only included in a footnote puzzlingly in the same sentence as the suboptimal one saquinavir/ritonavir (SQV/r) which says: "DRV/r can be used as an alternative PI and SQV/r in special situations; neither are currently available as heat-stable fixed-dose combinations, but a DRV + RTV heat-stable fixed-dose combination is currently in development".
In contrast, US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and BHIVA guidelines both recommend ATV/r and DRV/r as preferred PIs and have LPV/r as an alternative. 11
WHO's own systematic review including six clinical trials comparing the three boosted PIs used for second line concluded that there was no evidence to support changing the recommendations from the 2010 guidelines. This was despite noting that two of the studies showed better virological response and retention in care for people receiving DRV/r than LPV/r, and its use in high-income settings.
The decision was not based on efficacy, safety, tolerability or sequencing but on the availability of a generic, heat-stable, FDC of DRV/r at a comparable price.
Several generic companies have heat-stable, co-formulated DRV/r in development but they might be reluctant to make the investment without a potential market. FDCs with heat stable RTV are not easy to produce. In the case of both LPV/r and ATV/r, a few attempts were necessary to get a suitable formulation within the regulatory limits of bioequivalence, so the companies will consider this an expensive risk. To have an FDC included in the Expressions of Interest (EOI) list of WHO prequalification (PQ), it needs to be in the guidelines although there is likely to be an EOI later this year despite this cautious inclusion in a footnote.
If there were some countries prepared to adopt DRV/r, UNITAID could consider an intervention similar to what CHAI previously implemented with ATV/r which broke the LPV/r monopoly, opened up a competitive ATV/r market, and dramatically increased access to second-line treatment. 1 Notably, in contrast to the 2013 approach to DRV/r, the 2010 guidelines recommended ATV/r before a suitable heat-stable FDC was available WHO PQ and FDA tentative approval for the first ATV/r FDC occurred in November 2011.
There is also potential to reduce the current annual patient cost of DRV/r from US$900 to below US$350 if it is used in volumes comparable to LPV/r with process chemistry, dose optimisation and reformulation. 1 Stronger language from the guidelines on DRV/r would encourage investment in this work, as well as generic manufacture, country adoption, and donor investments to scale-up second-line treatment.
SQV/r is a mystifying inclusion. It is not a preferred or alternative option in DHHS or BHIVA guidelines because of a high pill burden and its initiation requires dose escalation and ECG monitoring due to its association with QT interval prolongation.
It is mentioned in the context of concomitant TB treatment at 400/400 mg twice daily. SQV/r is contraindicated with rifampicin at 1000/100 mg twice daily due to drug-induced hepatitis with marked transaminase in a study with HIV negative volunteers. 1 For 400/400 mg, the only available data is a conference abstract. In this Brazilian study 15/20 naïve patients receiving SQV/r 400/400 mg twice a day with TB treatment dropped out; 14/15 due to adverse effects (mainly hepatic and gastrointestinal). The authors did not recommend this regimen.
Although the relevance of this inclusion is very low as the use and procurement of SQV/r is virtually non-existent with the occasional exception of west Africa for HIV-2 it is inappropriate that it is mentioned in the same sentence as DRV/r.
Treatment and management of children in 2013 guidelines
When to Start?
Infants and children should initiate antiretroviral therapy:
What to Start?
First-line for infants and children less than three years old:
The backbone should be one of the following (in order of preference): ABC or AZT + 3TC; d4T + 3TC.
First-line for children three years and older:
Which Second-line?
Missing triple fixed dose combinations
By contrast, the recommendations for children are not so simple and very aspirational. In order to make the simplified first and second line recommendations for children feasible across all age groups nine possible regimens are needed, which could be facilitated with six triple FDCs. Only one (AZT/3TC/NVP) is currently available. 1 See Table 2.
Sources: WHO recommended urgently needed formulations Table 6, Annex 7: Dosages of recommended antiretroviral drugs. Juneja S. Licensing technology and intellectual property for the development of paediatric formulations.
ABC/3TC/NVP is quite far along but ABC/3TC/EFV might not be feasible because of tablet sizes. EFV/3TC/TDF should be possible will scaled down or scored versions of adult tablets.
The LPV/r based combinations are also underway.
For older children on second line, heat stable ATV/r aligned with adults would probably be preferable to LPV/r.
The challenges with the current formulations particularly the LPV/r syrup currently available for infants and young children and pipeline paediatric antiretrovirals are described in the 2013 i-Base/TAG Pipeline Report. 1
A satellite sponsored by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) who are currently developing a granule formulation of LPV/r with Cipla The Medicines Patent Pool and UNITAID also focused on some of the shortcomings with current formulations. 1

Baylor's Robert Griffin III Wins 2012 Manning Award park
Robert Griffin, III, the sensational breakthrough talent of the 2011 college football season, has been selected as the winner of the 2011-12 Manning Award, presented by the Allstate Sugar Bowl to the top quarterback in the nation. The Manning Award, now in its eighth year, was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes into consideration the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting. The award is voted on by a panel of local and national media, as well as each of the Mannings.
Griffin's parents are both New Orleans natives and the junior was in New Orleans earlier this month to be recognized as part of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. RG3 as he has become known throughout the college football world, becomes the third Big 12 quarterback to win the honor, joining former Texas Longhorn stars Vince Young (2006) and Colt McCoy (2010). He declared for the 2012 NFL Draft earlier this month.
"On behalf of my family, I would like to thank the Allstate Sugar Bowl for once again recognizing a very talented quarterback with the Manning Award," said Archie Manning. "I'm not sure we've seen anything like the year that Robert Griffin had this year. Everybody knew he was a star athlete coming into the season, but he has shown the country that he is far, far more than a track star – he is an outstanding quarterback with all of the necessary skills to succeed at that position at any level of football. He is also a tremendous young man, leading by example, excelling in the classroom and providing a positive role model for anyone with whom he comes in contact."
In the closest balloting in the history of the award, the runner-up for this year's honor was Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. The other eight finalists were Matt Barkley (USC), Kirk Cousins (Michigan State), Landry Jones (Oklahoma), Case Keenum (Houston), Kellen Moore (Boise State), Brandon Weeden (Oklahoma State), Russell Wilson (Wisconsin) and Tyler Wilson (Arkansas).
Griffin, III, who also captured the 2011 Heisman Trophy, led Baylor to just its second 10-victory season of all-time, and its first since 1980. Milestone victories for the Bears behind Griffin included their first-ever defeat of Oklahoma (a 45-38 thriller this season with Griffin throwing for 479 yards, including the game-winning touchdown with eight seconds left) and back-to-back wins over Texas for the first time since 1992. The Bears also advanced to back-to-back bowl games for just the fourth time in program history – capping the run with a wild 67-56 win over Washington in this year's Alamo Bowl, the school's first bowl victory since 1992.
The junior signal-caller set or tied 54 school records in three full seasons at Baylor, finishing the 2011 season with school records of 4,293 yards, 37 passing touchdowns and a passer efficiency rating of 189.5 (second-best in NCAA FBS history). RG3 led a powerhouse Baylor offensive attack that ranked second in the nation in total offense (587 ypg), fourth in scoring (45.3 ppg) and first in passing efficiency (191.2 rtg). He finishes his collegiate career as one of three players in FBS history to top 10,000 career passing yards (school-record 10,366) and 2,000 career rushing yards (2,254).
In addition to winning the Manning Award and the Heisman Trophy, Griffin III was named national player of the year by the AP and Sporting News, earned the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and was a consensus All-America selection.
A native of Copperas Cove, Texas, and graduate of Copperas Cove High School, Griffin III earned second-team Academic All-America honors from Capital One/CoSIDA in 2011 and is a 2010 Baylor graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.
"We had another outstanding group of finalists for this year's Manning Award," said Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO Paul Hoolahan. "Robert Griffin, III, established himself as the best quarterback and arguably the best player in the nation with an amazing season. His accomplishments on the field speak for themselves, but we are doubly-pleased to be able to recognize a young man who has excelled off the field and in the community as well."
Griffin is the eighth winner of the Manning Award, which began following the 2004 regular season. USC's Matt Leinart was the inaugural winner, followed by Young in 2006. In 2007, LSU's JaMarcus Russell earned the award followed by Boston College's Matt Ryan in 2008 and Tim Tebow from Florida in 2009. McCoy collected the 2010 honor, while Auburn's Cameron Newton was last year's winner. All seven previous winners were selected in the NFL Draft, including five that went within the top 10 picks.

Indiana Volunteers in Camp
Clarence Chambers Account
Clarence B. Chambers was born in Lancaster, Jefferson County, Indiana on March 25, 1861. He lived in Kent, Jefferson County, when he volunteered to fight in the war. He enrolled as a private in Madison on June 27, 1898 for two years in Company D of the 161st Indiana Regiment. He was thirty-seven years old, single, and a farmer. His record of service in the Indiana State Archives also provides this description: grey eyes, dark hair, dark complexion, height 5 feet 6.25 inches.
When his account of the war was donated to the Indiana Historical Society in 1980, his descendant indicated that he had three children and died on December 21, 1924 in Indianapolis. Pension records indicate that Myrtle E. Chambers, Clarence B. Chambers widow, applied for his soldier's pension March 16, 1925. The name Clarence Chambers appears in Indianapolis city directories from 1904 until 1922 with various occupations; it is not clear which entries apply to this man.
Sources: Documentation with collection SC 1718, Indiana Historical Society Library; Record . . . 1898-1899. W. E. Biederwolf, History of the One Hundred and Sixty-first Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry (Logansport, Ind.: Wilson, Humphreys & Co., 1899) provides a complete record of Chambers' regiment and has many interesting photographs. Biederwolf was chaplain of the regiment.
We went into quarters in the barns on the State fair grounds July 1st 1898. The boys immediately set to work in cleaning up their quarters. The cooks were then elected and set to work in preparing dinner. . . . Dinner was served about three oclock in the afternoon. It consisted of A spoonful of rice, A potato boiled with the jacket on A slice of bread . . . and A quart of coffee. The boys were hungry and were not very well satisfied with their dinner, but the cooks were new and were not fairly onto their job. Supper was much better we had beefsteak and beans and the boys eat until they were satisfied and by the next day all seemed to be in the best of spirits.
"Indianapolis Light Artillery." Note the State Fair buildings in the background. The tents behind the soldier and the artillery carriages were housing for the men of this unit. This unit was Battery A of the Indiana National Guard's First Regiment of Light Artillery. It became the Twenty-seventh Battery of Light Artillery, Indiana Volunteers when it was mustered into U.S. service May 10, 1898 (History of National Guard, 233, 365).

Initial quotations in the captions are from The Indiana Woman.
On Sunday morning July 3" 1898 the roll was called immediately after breakfast. . . . At ten oclock the boys were lined up for church services. . . . After rations were served on the morning of July 4th 1898 the company was lined up at 6.30 this being the time for the regular morning drill. Capt. [Charles E.] Cosby addressed the company by saying as this is A national holiday instead of drilling we will smoke and the cigars were passed around by the Capt. in person. . . .
July 5th 1898 was [medical] examination day for the Madison boys and every one was wondering whether or not he would pass the examination. There were several boys in our company that were so anxious to go that they actually shed tears upon being told that they were rejected The Madison boys were called upon to do picket guard duty for the first time at camp Mount on July 6" 1898. the camp grounds were unusually crowded with visitors and the picket guards have A great deal of trouble owing to the fact that they have no uniforms and it is hard to distinguish soldiers from citizens . . . .
"A Mess Camp, Company H., Second Regiment." A mess camp was where food was prepared and eaten by each company of soldiers. Indiana Governor James A. Mount insisted that volunteers at Camp Mount be well-fed. On April 28, for example, rations for 4,500 men included bacon, 3,375 pounds; fresh beef, 5,000 pounds; soft bread, 4,500 loaves; potatoes, 4,500 pounds; coffee, 563 pounds; cabbage, 1,350 pounds; pickles, 4,500 (Indianapolis Journal, April 29, 1898). Letters and articles frequently mention the welcome food items provided by Indianapolis and home-town visitors to Camp Mount--especially on Sunday. This Indianapolis company of the Indiana National Guard became Company H of the 158th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry when it was mustered into U.S. service May 10, 1898 (History of National Guard, 312, 324).
Image: The Indiana Woman, May 4, 1898.
The Madison boys signed the muster roll on July 9" 1898. Before signing Capt. Cosby made the state-ment that if there was any one that wished to go home that person could make it known by stepping two paces to the front not one man stepped out. . . .
On the morning of July 12" 1898 the regular rules for drilling were put in force. . . . The Articles of war were read to the Madison boys on July 16" 1898 . . . The first stagger at A battalion formation took place July 18th 1898 . . . Col. [Winfield T.] Durbin thought they done exceedingly well for the first time: Uniforms were issued to the boys on July 19" 1898 they were glad to get them as their clothing was getting rather shabby. The boys at camp Mount always look forward to Sunday as A gala day and Sunday July 24th was no exception. . . . The largest excursion came from Lawrenceburg and Mt Vernon. The Lawrenceburg delegation was accompanied by the local band . . . .
On Sunday July 24" 1898 for the first time the different battalions were drawn up in regimental formation under command of Col. Durbin. . . . Fully two thousand persons were in the grand stand at the time and there were many expressions of satisfaction at the soldierly appearance The weather was sweltering and to provide for prostration the ambulance was called out during the parade. . . . Religious services were held in the grand stand . . . .
Up to this time we had been taking up our quarters in the barns on the State fair grounds but we had received orders to vacate the barns as preparations were soon to be made for the State Fair On the morning of July 29" 1898 A detail from the different companies was organized to put up our tents on the grounds just East of the race track and on July 30" 1898 we packed up all our belongings and moved over in our new quarters. . . . The boys of Co. D. 161st Ind. Regt. drew their guns on Aug. 2" 1898 they were the Springfield rifle model of 1884 and the belts were issued Aug. 5" 1898.
. . . Col. Durbin made the announcement that the 161st Ind Regt was ordered to Jacksonville Florida . . . . the boys . . . were rejoicing over their departure from Camp Mount.
. . . The boys received their first months pay on the 10" of Aug. 1898:
. . . Thursday Aug 11" 1898 . . . we began . . . to break camp and by 9.30 every tent in the regiment had been taken down and by 11 oclock every thing was packed ready for shipping. We ate our last dinner at Camp Mount at 11.45 and by one oclock we were on the march for Indianapolis. It was real funny to see the boys as they marched from the camp grounds to the . . . street car station. They were not experienced hands at rolling their blankets and their dog tents with their mess outfit on the inside and as they were given the double quick A time or two the mess pans began to fly. Some of the boys stopping to pick them up were ran over by the boys behind them. We took the street car as far as sixteenth street from there we marched to the Soldiers Monument and around the Capitol. from there to North Street depot on the Big Four rail road. We were all the afternoon getting there Great crowds of people were collected along the streets and at the depot. We boarded the train about 8.30 that evening. . . .
. . . At 1.40 A M. on August 14" 1898 our train landed in Jacksonville Florida. . . .
. . . Our train was ran into Union Station where we got hot coffee. Rations were then passed around and we proceeded to eat breakfast After breakfast our train was ran out to the camp grounds at Park Panama about five miles North of Jacksonville. It was Sunday morning and the heat was intense . . . . And slowly sinking the golden sunset from shining o'er A camp of patriotism and love, while the flag of freedom is floating o'er our land, while the peaceful pines are waving to and fro at the will of A refreshing sea breeze while the Almighty is looking down upon us from on high . . . . Should we not feel grateful to serve our dear and honored country? Should we not look back and recall the deeds of our forefathers when our country was in A perilous struggle for freedom? . . . . Is there anything grander than to serve one's country . . . .
Notwithstanding our camp in Panama Park was kept clean and nice and had all the appearance of being A healthy place we had A great deal of sickness while there
. . . . Our Regiment took its place at Jacksonville in the Seventh Army Corps third Brigade and third division. After A time sickness began to increase so rapidly that it became necessary that the officers in command at the hospital divisions make A requisi[ti]on on the different regiments for A detail to be sent to the hospitals to act as nurses. . . .
. . . On Sunday morning October 23" 1898 we began breaking camp at Park Panama Florida
. . . . We had A long and wearisome siege of it at this place and it will long be remembered by the boys of company D. as one of the unhealthiest places we were ever in. . . . we left there for Savannah Georgia at one oclock on the morning of October 24" 1898 . . . .
. . . December 1st 1898 there were seventy-one new recruits arrived at Savannah for the 161st Ind. the most of them had been transferred from the 159th Ind. This was done in order to recruit the regiment up for ocupation in Cuba . . . .
. . . It is impossible to estimate the many thousands of people who saw the review [of the Seventh Army Corps in Savannah, Ga. on December 6, 1898] . . . .
. . . There was much cleering and applause . . . the one hundred and sixty-first Indiana presented A practically perfect appearance. Every company kept good line and the distances were accurate. . . . The streets all along the line of march back to the camps were thronged with people . . . .
On Monday morning December 12th 1898 the one hundred and sixty-first began breaking camp at Savannah Georgia to embark for Cuba having been in camp there just seven weeks.
We . . . went aboard the United States transport Mobile. The Mobile is one of the finest equipped vessels in the United States for the transportation of troops having been fitted up by the government expressly for that purpose. she has all of the accommodations that can be found in the modern hotel she was fitted up with spring mattresses instead of the hammocks . . . she had A capacity for carrying two thousand (2400) four hundred men without being crowded she also had A dining room that would seat six-hundred people. We left Savannah harbor at 715 A.M. on December 13" 1898 . . . . We caught site of land in Cuba about eight oclock on the morning of December 15th 1898 and it was only A short time afterwards that we were passing Morro Castle she was still flying the Spanish flag. . . . We . . . went into the harbor at Havana. After the whistle had blown for Havana the regimental band began to play, "On the banks of the Wabash far away" "The Star Spangled banner" . . . . We were received with A hearty salute by the people of Havana.

Ellender's girls basketball team faced one of its toughest challenges so far this season when it hosted District 8-4A rival Vandebilt Catholic on Tuesday.
Ellender's girls basketball team faced one of its toughest challenges so far this season when it hosted District 8-4A rival Vandebilt Catholic on Tuesday.
The Lady Patriots, who are made up of mostly freshmen, sophomore and junior players, took on a much older and experienced Lady Terriers team.
Ellender hasn't beaten Vandebilt or won a playoff game since making it to the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 4A state title game during the 2007-08 school year.
Coach Kenneth Dixon's Lady Patriots have been through some down years, but this year's team has played with promise all year long.
I still wondered if the young Lady Patriots were ready to make a big stand and hand a loss to the talented Lady Terriers.
But on Tuesday night, Ellender played with an intensity that I haven't seen since the program's championship contending years back in the early-to-mid 2000s.
The Lady Patriots battled hard for four quarters against Vandebilt, and they even took a five-point lead at one point in the second half of the game.
But the Lady Terriers, who are led by several seniors, used their experience to escape Ellender's gym with a 41-40 victory.
It was a big district win for Vandebilt, but after the game, I was more impressed with the play with the Lady Patriots (13-5 overall, 3-1 in district). They might have lost the challenge, but in my eyes, they passed the test with flying colors.
Dixon, who has won four state championships in over two decades at Ellender, said he was pleased with his team's performance.
"I'm very proud of how well we played," Dixon said. "They showed me some fight and confidence. I'm extremely happy with the way we performed."
Even Vandebilt coach Kathy Luke had great things to say about Ellender.
"I thought Ellender played really well," Luke said. "They played with enthusiasm. They played with a purpose. They made it hard for us to do what we wanted to do."
The best thing about Ellender is that the program is filled with young players.
If Dixon can keep this young team together and continue making progress, the future definitely looks bright for the Lady Patriots.
They only have two seniors in Shakira Bingham and Brienna Butler, but several of the their key players this year are underclassmen, which include juniors Sage Scott, Amari Banks, Kelci Scott and Kalen Harrison, sophomore Kiara Scott and freshmen Sky Jasper, Taima Danos, Kiara Jones and Anikita Bolden.
Dixon has worked long hours over the last five years to get Ellender's program back to where it needs to be.
There is still a lot of work to do this year, but regardless of what happens the rest of the way, Ellender is definitely setting the course to return to its glory days.
If anyone knows what it takes to be a champion, Dixon is the guy. He has experienced both winning and losing times at Ellender. He is quick to praise his team when it deserves it, and he doesn't hold back when it looks bad.
When Ellender played poorly in its district opening 53-44 win against Assumption on Jan. 8, he called the performance "awful."
But since, he said they are starting to come around and believe in each other.
"They are growing leaps and bounds," Dixon said. "I think they are getting more comfortable with the system now. They are just getting out there with more confidence."
And if Tuesday's game against Vandebilt was any indication, the Lady Patriots are definitely headed into the right direction.

The Toa have to battle creatures and accomplish these hard tasks. The main characters are six Toa. Their names are Tahu, Onua, Gali, Lewa, Kopaka and Pohato. Read the book to find out if they save Matanui.
My favorite character is Tahu. He is smart and brave, but he is a little self-centered. The other Toa are trying their best too.
My favorite part in the book is the beginning when they talk about the Great Spirit. I like this part because it got me hooked and I wanted to keep reading.
I like the book because it has good detail and description. I like the cover illustration. It shows a cool bionicle.
I recommend the book to 1st-5th grade boys. They would like it because it has action and adventure. Kids who like building Bionicles would like reading this book.
