Effect of Antiretroviral Therapy on Risk of Sexual Transmission of HIV Infection and Superinfection
August 2009
The past decade has seen substantial advances in the development of antiretroviral therapy (ART) -- medications used in combination to reduce the replication of HIV virus and treat HIV-infected persons. Because of these medications, many HIV-infected persons are able to reduce levels of virus in the bloodstream (plasma viral load) to undetectable levels. Data suggest that HIV-infected persons with undetectable viral load are less infectious, and may be less likely to transmit HIV via sexual contact. This fact sheet summarizes the implications of these data to individual couples and to the potential impact of ART in the prevention of HIV transmission within populations.
Prevention of Sexual Transmission of HIV: Individual Couples vs. Populations
Evidence from observational studies among heterosexual populations1-4 and men who have sex with men (MSM)5 suggests that effective ART may greatly reduce the likelihood of sexual transmission from infected individuals to their sexual partners. A study of heterosexual couples in Uganda in which one partner was infected revealed that infected persons who did transmit virus to their partners had significantly higher mean viral load than those who did not transmit (90,254 copies/mL vs. 38,029 copies/mL); no transmissions occurred among couples in which the infected partners viral load was under 1500 copies/mL.1 Among infected persons at a clinic in Spain , wider availability of effective ART was associated with an 80% decrease in sexual transmission of HIV.2 While fewer data are available regarding the impact of ART on transmission among MSM (the most affected population in the United States), transmission rates observed among a population of MSM in San Francisco declined with the availability of ART despite increases in risk behavior, associated with an estimated 60% decrease in per-act infectivity.5 Mathematical modeling studies suggest that successful use of ART by enough infected individuals could substantially reduce the spread of HIV within a population.6-7 ART thus holds promise as an important prevention tool. However, it is important to note that this potential reduction in HIV transmission within a population does not translate to elimination of transmission risk within individual couples.
What is the Risk of Sexual HIV Transmission for HIV-Infected Persons With Undetectable Viral Load?
ART is considered effective when it consistently suppresses plasma viral load to undetectable levels. However, sexual transmission of HIV from an infected partner who was on ART with a repeatedly undetectable plasma viral load has been documented.8 An infected partner's genital (seminal or vaginal) fluid viral load may play a greater role than plasma viral load when evaluating the risk of sexual transmission of HIV. The likelihood of HIV transmission in the setting of ART is influenced by a number of factors, several of which are described below.
The Meaning of "Undetectable" Viral Load: Persistence of Virus in Plasma and Seminal Fluid
Periodic blood plasma viral load monitoring is used to measure ART effectiveness. The goal of effective ART is the long-term suppression of plasma viral load, usually defined as the maintenance of a level of HIV virus that is below the threshold detectable by available tests. While plasma viral load tests are reliable, they have limitations: virus levels below a minimum concentration may not be detected. Studies have shown that persistent virus is found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells9,10 even when individuals have sustained undetectable plasma viral load levels.
Genital fluid viral loads are not routinely measured in persons on ART. Although ART reduces concentration of virus in seminal fluid,11 virus persists within cells present in seminal fluid of some men who are on ART with undetectable plasma viral load12-13. ART also is associated with decrease in cervicovaginal fluid viral load; however, 'breakthrough' shedding has been observed in some studies.14-17 Therefore, the potential for transmission exists despite sustaining undetectable viral load while on effective ART.
Transient Increases ("Blips") in Viral Load
Several studies have observed that individuals on effective ART who achieve long-term suppression of viral load to undetectable levels may exhibit periodic temporary increases in plasma viral load (blips). These are generally small increases (between approximately 50 and 1000 copies/mL), and are estimated to last for short periods (<3 weeks).18-20 Because they are transient in nature, they may be missed on routine viral load testing. Currently, there are insufficient data to make statements regarding the magnitude of transmission risk related to viral load blips. However, it is conceivable that transient increases might correlate with increases in genital fluid viral load, and with enhanced sexual transmission risk.
Correlation Between Plasma and Genital Fluid Viral Load and Resistance to ART
Although ART reduces viral load in both plasma and seminal fluid, undetectable plasma viral load may not always predict undetectable seminal fluid viral load. A recent review of 19 studies, which compared plasma and seminal fluid viral loads, indicates that while blood and genital fluid viral load are often correlated, this is not always the case.21 Thus, a person with an undetectable plasma viral load may still shed virus in genital fluid at higher levels, which poses risk for transmission.
Several additional factors may affect genital fluid viral load. For example, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia have been shown to transiently increase viral load in genital fluids.22-23 Individuals with active STIs may therefore be more infectious, despite a low or undetectable plasma viral load. Moreover, as individuals with STIs may not have any symptoms, it may be impossible for either partner to be aware of this increased risk.
Some of the variation in genital fluid viral load may be due to differences in the degree to which different ART medications enter genital fluid. Recently developed research methods allow for measurement of drug concentrations in seminal and vaginal fluids, which can then be compared to drug levels measured in blood. This research has found that some ART medications achieve higher concentrations in genital fluids than others.24-27 For instance, nucleoside/tide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) penetrate to a greater extent in male and female genital secretions than do protease inhibitors (PIs). Further work of this type may eventually aid in selection of antiretroviral medications in order to reduce sexual transmission. However, more data collected via these methods and better understanding of the degree to which this approach might be effective is needed before specific recommendations can be made.
In addition to differences in viral load between plasma and genital fluids, there may also be differences in the resistance characteristics of virus in these two locations. HIV may become resistant to ART medications through mutations that occur during replication and through exposure to insufficient or inconsistent levels of HIV medications. This may happen when ART medications are not taken according to the prescribed schedule or doses are skipped. In addition, drugs which do not enter the genital fluid as well may help promote the development of resistance in the genital fluid specifically. Some researchers have noted that within an individual, the resistance characteristics of virus isolated from genital fluid may differ from those of virus isolated from plasma.28-30
In summary, for couples in which one member is HIV-infected, treatment of the infected partner with effective ART and suppression of viral load to undetectable levels should greatly reduce the risk of transmission to the uninfected partner. However, this risk is not eliminated and it may not be maximally reduced at all times due to some of the factors discussed above. Moreover, the likelihood of transmission may be expected to increase with repeated exposures over time. In a model which estimated transmission risk in the setting of suppressed viral load (<50 copies/mL) without intercurrent STIs, the number of expected transmission events occurring within a population of 10,000 serodiscordant couples over 10 years was estimated to be 215 for female-to-male transmission, 425 for male-to-female transmission, and 3,524 for male-to male transmissions.31 A meta-analysis of data from 11 cohorts including 5,021 heterosexual couples observed no transmissions among persons receiving ART with a viral load of <400 copies/mL; however, analysis of the data was compatible with the possibility of one event per 70 person-years.32 For this reason, it is important that individual couples recognize the risk, and use additional preventive methods (e.g., condoms) in order to further minimize the chance of transmission.
ART as a Prevention Tool for Sexual Transmission of HIV
While it cannot be assumed that effective ART will eliminate transmission within individual exposures, evidence from several cohort, observational, and mathematical modeling studies suggests that effective ART may be a promising way to reduce sexual HIV transmission within populations. Potential limitations to this approach include availability of ART and appropriate monitoring, willingness of individuals to take medications, and potential offset of benefit though accompanying increases in risk behavior.
One study of the effectiveness of ART in reducing heterosexual transmission of HIV involved analysis of 393 serodiscordant heterosexual couples from 1991-2003. The authors noted that heterosexual transmission was reduced by 80% when the positive partner was treated with ART. Despite this significant reduction, the investigators cautioned against continued possible risk of transmission because of HIV levels in genital secretions of patients on ART.1 Among 193 discordant couples identified in the Rakai Cohort in which the infected partner had a CD4 counts under 250 cells/µL, no transmission events were observed among 20 couples in which the infected partner was on ART.3 A study of 2993 discordant couples in Rwanda and Zambia demonstrated that ART use was associated with reduced (but not eliminated) rates of HIV transmission and reduction in unprotected sex.4
Regarding potential reduction of risk within MSM populations, analysis of data from the San Francisco Young Men's Health Study evaluated transmission events among 534 MSM. The investigators found a 60% decrease in HIV transmission after the introduction of ART. The reduction occurred despite the increases in reported number of risky sexual behaviors.5
Other information regarding the potential population-level benefit of ART on transmission comes from mathematical modeling studies. Mathematical models involve the development of equations to explain the relationship between the potential effects of ART on viral load and the likelihood of HIV transmission. Modeling can help predict population-level outcomes such as rate of drug resistance, rate of HIV infection or prevalence of infection, and effects of HIV treatment and prevention programs in various settings.33 Modeling methods are useful tools, but are limited by the fact that models reflect current understanding of how HIV is transmitted,34 as well as the validity of the assumptions and data used in model construction.
The potential impact of changes in risk behavior is one important determinant of the possible effect of ART in preventing transmission within a population. A model of ART use among MSM in a resource-rich setting6 indicated that if treatment rates are high, transmission is likely to be significantly reduced; however, the rate of infection will be strongly influenced by changes in risk behavior, such that transmission could rise despite the increase in number treated. In a meta-analysis reviewing results of 25 studies of the impact on sexual risk behavior of ART and beliefs regarding transmissibility,35 being on ART or achieving an undetectable viral load was not associated with increased risky sexual behavior. However, beliefs about HIV transmission and reduced concerns about unsafe sex were associated with a greater likelihood of risky behavior.
Modeling of infectiousness of HIV-infected persons at different stages of disease suggests that persons with high viral loads associated with acute infection and end-stage disease are highly infectious; however, those with asymptomatic infection will contribute most to transmission within a population because of the longer duration of this stage.36 This suggests that early identification and therapy of infected persons may be an important aspect of the effectiveness of ART as a prevention tool. In a model (designed to reflect South African transmission dynamics) of a program to control heterosexual transmission which included universal voluntary HIV testing and immediate initiation of therapy in those found to be infected,7 incidence of new HIV cases was reduced to less than one per 1000 persons per year within a decade, and estimated deaths occurring through 2050 were estimated to be halved when compared to the current approach of waiting to start ART until a specific CD4 count is reached.
For HIV-infected individuals who are ART-naïve and who have no history of AIDS-defining illness, current U.S. treatment guidelines recommend initiating ART when the CD4 count falls below 350 cells/μL in most cases.37 Exceptions (for whom treatment should be initiated regardless of CD4 count) include pregnant women, persons with HIV-associated nephropathy, and those co-infected with hepatitis B requiring treatment; the guidance also cites decreasing the risk of HIV transmission to others as a potential benefit to early therapy. The use of 350 cells/µL as a minimum threshold is supported by analyses from a subgroup of participants from the Strategies for management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) study, which noted that among persons with CD4 counts of >350 cells/µL, those who were randomized to deferral of ART until the CD4 count dropped to <250 cells/µL had substantially higher risk of opportunistic diseases and serious non-AIDS events relative to those who initiated ART immediately.38 A meta-analysis of 18 cohort studies also supports counts of 350 cells/µL as a minimum threshold.39 Optimally, the decision to institute initiation of ART at a higher CD4 threshold on a widespread level would be based upon data from controlled studies. Recent studies indicate that initiating ART earlier than the currently recommended CD4 threshold of 350 cells/μL may confer benefits on survival40 and immune function,41 without necessarily increasing risk of adverse events such as peripheral neuropathy, anemia, and renal insufficiency.42 An ongoing randomized controlled study, HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 052, will compare the effectiveness of two treatment strategies in preventing the sexual transmission for HIV. Discordant couples will be randomized to either immediate ART for the infected partner, or deferral of ART until the CD4 count falls to between 200-250 cells/µL.43
When Both Partners Are Infected: What Is the Significance of Superinfection in HIV Transmission?
Superinfection is defined as infection by a second strain of HIV after initial infection by a primary strain has been established.44 The frequency and timing of superinfection may vary depending upon the population under study and the method of detection. Follow-up of 78 newly infected individuals (none of whom initiated ART while under study) in one clinic revealed that 4 (5%) had acquired a superinfecting strain within 6 to 12 months of initial infection.45 In a cohort of 36 high-risk Kenyan women screened for HIV-1 superinfection over a 5-year period beginning at primary infection, seven cases of superinfection were detected.46 In this study superinfection occurred throughout the course of the first infection: during acute infection in two cases, between 1-2 years after infection in three cases, and as late as 5 years after infection in two cases. The clinical consequences of superinfection for an individual vary, but may include accelerated disease progression and the acquisition of drug resistance.47 The public health consequences of HIV superinfections are unclear. While superinfection can result in recombination between genetically different viruses, and a number of circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) are prevalent in certain geographic areas,48 it has not been demonstrated that such recombination results in the establishment of more transmissible or virulent viruses. There is also evidence that superinfection occurs only rarely in HIV-infected individuals on effective ART.49,50

I was about to write Tuesday Giveaway, then I realized it's already Wednesday!
Happy April Fools Day!
This weeks giveaway is Boots Protect and Protect Serum.
This stuff caused a RIOT when a BBC show called Horizon picked it out as one of the anti ageing serums that had visible results.
After the BBC2 science series Horizon's March 27 programme investigated the increasingly outrageous claims on the jars of the elite cosmetics houses, its conclusion was that, yes, indeed, there was one across-the-counter anti-ageing product that did what it says it would. What happened next was phenomenal. Twenty four hours after the programme was aired there was not a single 30ml jar* of Boots No7 Protect & Perfect serum to be found in Britain. Sales had increased by 2,000 per cent overnight, stores had amassed waiting lists running into four figures, the company's web store had 4,000 requests in an evening and thousands of pleas from the US, and single jars of the serum were changing hands for £100 on eBay.
"We had crowds of women charging behind the counters, convinced our sales staff had a secret stash stored there," says Geraldine Waterson, the No7 product developer. "We had women threatening to practically lynch anyone who got more than one and, from John O'Groats to Land's End, we had queues snaking down the high streets. We knew women would want it, we just wildly under-estimated how many. We had shipped 21 weeks' supplies into the stores the night before. All were gone in a day, at a rate of one jar every 10 seconds. Now it will be a fortnight before we can meet the demand."
(From the Telegraph Newspaper).
*Perfect and Protect is now sold in tubes, not jars.
Here it is:
To win, answer in the comments:
1. What's the worst make up item you have ever bought?
2. What make up counter do you hate going to the most?
3. What are you lemming right now?
1. What's the worst make up item you have ever bought?
I have this Japanese eye concealer called Govette or something and its supposed to be Salmon colour, but it's literally just SALMON on the skin.
Also, every single damn mascara that said it would curl and didn't!
2. What make up counter do you hate going to the most?
I get ignored an awful lot at MAC and Clinique.
3. What are you lemming right now?
I want a yellow blusher powder from Illamasqua, it is supposed to tone down redness!

Grand Theft Auto V Comparison Video – PS3 vs PS4
The folks at Digital Foundry have posted a YouTube video that compares the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto V to the upcoming PlayStation 4. Based on the video, GTA V will be a whole different visual experience on next-gen consoles.
The video does a good job of showing the upgrades to every aspect of the game, employing footage from both and side-by-side comparison shots. First off, we see that the game's ocean will be far more impressive than before, with lapping waves and realistic foam. A shot of a mountainside shows off greatly improved trees and brush, as well as smoothly animated wildlife. Moving towards the city, we're shown a variety of hi-def buildings and landscapes with crisp textures and bright colors that make the original look positively outdated. Co-protagonist Trevor Philips is seen awakening from a drunken stupor, and the new version of our favorite sociopath is stunning, with far more convincing textures and facial modelling. When we get to the city itself, instead of sparsely populated highways, we're treated to a seemingly endless line of dense traffic, making the city seem even more alive. The video continues, showing many familiar Los Santos landmarks rendered in HD glory.
Grand Theft Auto V is already one of the most successful entertainment properties in history, with over 32 million copies sold since last year. The robust and infinitely entertaining Grand Theft Auto Online mode has been well-supported by Rockstar, and has become one of the most heavily populated online console games out there, keeping players interested in the property. When GTA V is released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, it won't just bring in a whole new group of players who will experience it for the first time, it will also bring back those looking to upgrade their multi-player experience and play through the game's excellent campaign again in HD.

NEW HAVEN — Addison County Fair and Field Days drew to a close on Aug. 11 following another run that officials called a success in spite of some rain that drenched the site during portions of three days of the annual event's five-day span.
Jim Foster, president of the Field Days board, estimated attendance at this year's 64th annual Field Days was around 15 percent lower than last year's edition. During a good year (like last year), Field Days draws between 25,000 to 30,000 visits, according to Foster.
MONKTON — The Monkton Development Review Board (DRB) is nearing a decision on whether to permit a contentious application for a 30-plus acre quarry off of Monkton Road.
According to the application filed by Brisson Stone LLC and David Shlansky's Burchfield Management Company LLC, "Brisson Stone will rely on drilling and blasting rock ledge to produce unconsolidated rock and gravel that will be collected on-site." Burchfield Management filed the application, and the two enterprises are working together on this project.

BRISTOL — A New Hampshire man was listed in "guarded" condition with second-degree burns at Massachusetts General Hospital on Thursday afternoon after driving his tractor-trailer truck off Route 116 in Bristol, resulting in a fiery crash and a massive response from multiple fire departments, rescue organizations and at least one heroic witness.
Primary races often pose the toughest challenges for voters. Because the candidates often come from the same political framework and their political sensibilities are more similar than not, the choice hangs in the balance of which candidate can do a better job of executing policies that are a hair's distance apart.
That's the case in the Democratic primary race next Tuesday, Aug. 28, against incumbent Attorney General Bill Sorrell and challenger TJ Donovan.

McCormick ratcheted up her game, started throwing ringers and earned the next 14 points.
The rising senior at Mount Abraham Union High School pulled away from Feavel and won the match 40-29, hitting ringers nearly two out of every three throws.
MIDDLEBURY — At an Aug. 14 meeting, the Middlebury selectboard agreed to contract with DeBisschop Excavating to make substantial improvements to public property bordering the Otter Creek Falls in the Marble Works.

Social media are connecting Arab youths and politicians
Queen Rania
In December, the Online Collaborative Club of the American University of Beirut organized Blogging Lebanon, a conference for more than 150 Lebanese and Arab bloggers, e-activists, journalists, students, professors and others interested in social media. The convention demonstrated that social media are central to the Arab world today, and essential for positive change.
In the Arab world, many diplomats and politicians have started using social media tools to improve their relationships with citizens. Examples include the emir of Dubai, Muhammad bin Rashid al-Maktum, Jordan's Queen Rania al-Abdullah, and the wife of Qatar's emir, Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned. These high-profile people all have personal accounts on Facebook and Twitter, demonstrating how much social media have evolved. Now, even diplomats and politicians are discussing society's problems and issues online. But not everyone is finding it easy.
The British ambassador to Lebanon, Frances Guy, spoke during the convention about difficulties that diplomats face when blogging. After she blogged about the passing of the Shiite cleric Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah and praised him she later apologized in another post if the "praise" offended anyone since her post had sparked extensive controversy.
Lebanese politicians have taken advantage of this social media to encourage debate and conversation on Facebook and personal blogs, and to respond directly to questions – especially from youth – about a variety of social and political issues. For example, Lebanese parliamentarian Nouhad Machnouk organizes a weekly live discussion with youth on Facebook and has over 3,000 followers.
The rise of social media – and politicians using it – may be due to the fact that mainstream media in the Arab world have lost part of their credibility as media industries are usually run by political parties. In such outlets news is reported and interpreted in a way that serves that party's interests, particularly in Lebanon.
Perhaps because of this, youth have started to use the Internet as one of their main sources of news and information. Accordingly, politicians have begun to go online to connect with youths and build a direct relationship with them. In this way, social media are actually reshaping how politicians relate to constituents.
In addition to becoming a meeting space for officials and their constituents, blogging has also become a forum for resourceful creativity that can reshape social norms.
This is evident in Shankaboot, an online mini-series that examines social issues in the Middle East. It focuses primarily on issues facing Beirutis that are not addressed by traditional Lebanese television dramas. It is the first of its kind in the Arab world.
The series highlights issues facing the marginalized and poor, which are rarely portrayed in media. In particular, Shankaboot reflects challenges facing youth such as drugs, domestic violence, and unemployment. The series depicts daily life in Beirut as well as the adventures of Suleiman, the main character, a young delivery boy who crosses the city on his motorcycle.
During the Blogging Lebanon convention, Arek Dakessian, the online content and community manager of Shankaboot, and Toni Oyry, the project manager, spoke about their use of social media to reach people. Shankaboot has already touched more than half a million people, including 337,000 visitors to the shankaboot.com website, 291,000 YouTube viewers, 18,500 Facebook friends, and 1,163 Twitter followers.
The most significant conclusion of the conference was that no one is immune to social media. Activists in Lebanon and the Arab world use them to protest human rights violations or support causes. Government officials use them to communicate and gain feedback from constituents. "E-activists" have used such media to defend bloggers, journalists and activists who have been arrested for expressing their opinions, such as Bahraini blogger Ali Abdel Imam, arrested for "spreading false information."
In 2010, there were many similar cases of activists being arrested, as well as others using social media to come to their defense. This escalated more recently with popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, where social media have played a significant mobilizing role. All this serves as proof of the significance of social media, but also of the speed of their progress throughout the Arab world.

When TNA ventured across the Pacific Ocean earlier this year for a combined show with New Japan Pro Wrestling at the Tokyo Dome, it was a landmark event no one really took notice of here in North America.
Thank goodness for DVDs. Global iMPACT!-Japan is one to get your hands on.
Just the main event was shown on free TV here in North America where TNA World champion Kurt Angle made Yuji Nagata tap to the ankle lock in the IWGP Heavyweight title match. The other five matches are pretty decent and the extras add flavor, literally, to the DVD. Prior to each match, too, all wrestlers involved get a kick-butt video hype job.
The entire event, held January 4th, is an annual event in NJPW that kicks off the New Year. This year, TNA was invited to participate. Commentators Don West and Mike Tenay are great calling the matches and explaining Japanese culture. Jeremy Borash serves as the ring announcer for the TNA stars.
One interesting item to note is that the crowd at the Tokyo Dome seems more suited for a library. It's pretty much silent throughout the show. The plethora of ringside photographers is also something not seen too often.
Match #1 - Petey Williams, AJ Styles & Christian Cage vs. Milano Collection AT, Minoru & Prince Devitt
A solid, solid opener. Devitt and Cage both get dizzy from an airplane spin. Now there's a move not mentioned that much nowadays, eh? The match has great flow and all wrestlers end up on the floor at one point. Back inside, the TNA guys all hit their finishers with Styles pinning Minoru after the Styles Clash.
Winners via pinfall: Petey Williams, AJ Styles & Christian Cage
Match #2 - IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title Match - Christopher Daniels vs. Wataru Inoue
It's explained that even though Daniels had been "fired" from TNA prior to this match, his contract with NJPW allowed him to wrestle here and represent TNA. This match should make the average fan want to see more Japanese wrestling. Daniels plays the heel in this match. Both Daniels and Inoue counter each other's moves and the crowd respects that with applause. One cross-legged brainbuster isn't enough to beat Daniels, but the second one is.
Winner and still IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion: Wataru Inoue
A post-match ceremony sees Inoue get a trophy for retaining the title. Daniels saunters to the back and West and Tenay speculate on his future in the company.
Match #3 - Abyss vs. Manabu Nakanishi
Abyss stares down the photographers as he makes his entrance and he's compared to Bruiser Brody, Abdullah the Butcher and the Sheik by Tenay for his unorthodox style. The majority of this match is outside the ring and on the entrance ramp where Abyss takes a bulldog into the tacks. Pretty routine Abyss match that has Nakanishi win with a German suplex and bridge. Abyss' shoulder appears to be up, but the pin counts nonetheless.
Winner via pinfall: Manabu Nakanishi
Abyss chases the photographers away from the ring and then heads to the back.
Match #4 - Hardcore Match - Team 3D vs. Tohgi Makabe & Toru Yano
Imagine the old ECW in a library and that's exactly what this match was. The blood flows, chairs, chains, a ladder and a kendo stick (and the infamous garbage can) are used repeatedly and it's a free-for-all with no tags at first or control. Brother Ray puts a trash can lid on Yano's crotch and then tattoos him with a chair. Brother Devon gets a table (a much smaller version that what we see around these parts) and Yano takes a second-rope powerbomb through the wood. A 3D later to Makabe gives the ex-Dudleyz the win.
Winners via pinfall: Team 3D
Jeff Jarrett is introduced to the 30,000-plus in attendance and he comes to the ring to hype TNA and thank the fans for coming to the show. He gets booed by the fans, too.
Match #5 - IWGP Tag Team Title Match - The Steiner Brothers vs. Tomko & Giant Bernard
Sad to see how immobile the Steiners (introduced before the match as former NWA, WWE and WCW tag champs) are now, but they still have a pretty good match. A pre-match video montage shows highlights from Japan runs from probably 10-15 years ago. The Steiners hit their top-rope bulldog on Tomko, but Rick hits the ref on the follow-through. Yano interferes, but takes a guitar shot from Jarrett. Makabe then runs in and pushes Rick off the top rope. Tomko and Bernard then hit a whiplash move, the Magic Killer, on the Dogfaced Gremlin and retain.
Winners and still IWGP Tag Team champions: Tomko & Giant Bernard
After the trophy presentation post-match, Bernard grabs the mic, but gets cut off and we're left to wonder what he said.
Match #6 - IWGP Heavyweight Title Match - Kurt Angle vs. Yuji Nagata
What a match. What a freaking great match! The DVD is worth purchasing it for this match alone. The bout goes about 30 minutes. Angle nearly taps to an armbar submission, but rallies to get the ankle lock tap-out. The behind the scenes look at the build-up to this match is incredible.
Winner via submission and still IWGP Heavyweight champion: Kurt Angle
Extras on the DVD include pre- and post-match interviews, a trip around Tokyo with Tomko, Cage, Brother Ray and Bernard (where they eat raw liver), sushi night with the Steiners and a trip to the Sensoji Temple with Tomko and Styles (where Styles wants to buy a spoon because he's been eating with chopsticks all trip). Having Tomko, who is a regular competitor in Japan, along to tour the city gives the viewer great insight into Tokyo from an outsider's perspective.
The DVD, that can also be played in Japanese, will add glitz to anyone's wrestling collection. It's highly recommended and is worth every penny. If only TNA could be this good every week for free we'd have something. But alas, we're relegated to spend dough on DVDs like this.

Standard Hamilton Co., Inc., South Daytona Fla., introduces the latest Dump-Pro addition to its patented line — the long-anticipated Compact Dump-Pro for light duty pickup trucks with 6-foot beds.
It fits into smaller pickups (e.g. Ford Ranger, Chevy Colorado or Dodge Dakota, etc.) or larger width trucks with 6-foot or longer beds.
Like the popular full-size Dump-Pro, this ingenious new dump insert is light weight (282 pounds), features a steel reinforced industrial weight, non-rusting polyethylene dump body and winch-driven drive system that requires no expensive hydraulics to operate.
Its lighter weight and removable feature saves fuel.
The all new Compact Dump-Pro enables a user to go from pickup to dump truck in minutes using the Quick Change-Out option.
Rated at 3,000 pounds hauling, 2,700 pounds dumping capacity, the Compact Dump-Pro handles 1.1 cubic yards of material with the basic unit, or 3 yards with the Hi-Sides option.
Believed to be the only unit of its kind on the market, the Compact Dump-Pro is expected to fill a gaping void in the truck insert product offerings for smaller pickup trucks. The unit features an amazing 60 degree dumping angle, so everything that goes in comes out.
When the job is done, simply release the clamping system, disconnect the power with the removable connector, remove a single bolt and slide the unit out to get your pickup truck back.
Compact Dump-Pro is perfect for landowners, farmers & ranchers. The unit is available assembled or in kit form with all parts needed for assembly, mounting hardware and detailed step-by-step instructions with color photos included. It can also be mounted on small flat-bed trailers with the trailering strap option.
For additional information, visit the company's Web site at www.dump-pro.com.

Five questions: On shaky ground
Joe LaGue, general manager for Olson Foundation Repair in Olathe, discusses foundations problems caused by the drought.
Q: Why does a drought affect foundations?
A: Most of the homes in this area are built on an expansive clay base, and that clay shrinks and swells depending on its moisture content. As that soil dries out, it shrinks up, so what is sitting on that soil will move.
Q: Are there any further causes for foundation settlement?
A: Large trees pulling moisture from the area near a foundation can accelerate settlement. You can have a lot of settling in the area where that tree is, so you can have one part of your house settling differently than another part of your house.
Q: What are some signs of settlement to look for?
A: You'll see cracks around windows and doors in the sheetrock and cracks in brick work. You'll see doors and windows that don't operate correctly. Some of the settlement that's happening will correct itself if we get some moisture, but not all of it.
Q: Will problems get worse once the ground freezes?
A: The ground freezing may have an affect on driveways and slabs that have settled, but the ground only freezes down two to three feet maximum in this area, so that shouldn't hurt foundations.
Q: Is there anything you can do to prevent future problems?
A: People should be watering their foundations, an inch to an inch and a half of water each week, before it freezes. But you have to be consistent, and don't water just up against the foundation but around the house, especially around trees. If you haven't watered it until this point, it will be very hard to get the moisture to that depth.

Kendall Jenner in legal spat over diner bill
KIM KARDASHIAN's model sister KENDALL JENNER has called in her lawyer to deal with a messy spat over an unpaid restaurant bill.
Kardashian's younger half-sister, who has modelled for designers including Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, was accused of leaving the Mercer Kitchen eaterie in New York City without paying, and the waitress claimed the star was rude to her after she tracked her down outside the restaurant.
The reality TV regular's lawyer, Marty Singer, has now written a letter to the waitress involved and threatened her with legal action if she continues to make claims against the model.
The letter, obtained by TMZ.com, reads, "Although you are working as a waitress at Mercer Kitchen, I understand you are also a struggling actress... You no doubt concocted a fictionalised account of your encounter with my client in order to create publicity for yourself."

For instance--we see the pitch tracker after every single pitch and can immediatly tell whether it was a ball or strike.
Personally I think the botched call that cost Detroit a perfect game a few years back was the beginning of a movement that will eventually result in a dramatic shift as to how games are officiated. If a missed call ever dramatically impacts a World Series, things will get very interesting.
Exactly, and how many times have the umpires decision to call the pitch a ball or strike was different than what the pitch tracker displayed?!
I hate seeing replay get involved in baseball. Over the years we've seen human error cost games and perfect games from being pitched. That's part of the drama. With football and basketball, there is a time element where electronics comes into play in order to manage the games and so replay is now a natural part of that evolvement. Baseball has no such requirements.
If anything, as mentioned, add another umpire up in the press box who has access to replay and can overturn a field umpire's decision (non balls/strikes) only when requested by the crew chief. Perhaps limit the amount of requests per team, similar to NFL red flags.
If replay is used when base runners are involved, the same out of bounds rules should apply.

Eagle Jackson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 141 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
Triple 60
We are a couple who sponsor various events, activities, and teams, particularly for active sports (cycling, skiing, etc.) but not limited to active sports.
Our target audience is events, teams, and activities that we are sponsoring.
This is not a business we're running, but rather activities and people we like to support. The name we are using for sponsorship is Triple 60, and we'd like a logo to use for when our sponsorship is listed (eg, jerseys, promotional material, listing of sponsors, etc.). Triple 60 to us evokes the mountains; I would also note that an equilateral triangle has three equal angles of 60 degrees :)
We want something simple but also has some visual impact. It should represent our pride in sponsoring. No fancy fonts, no cartoons, no stock images or clip art.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
P.S. The is my first effort with 99Designs and I'm just learning the ropes, so please excuse as I learn the system.

Hay buyers should plan purchases early
Michigan hay producers are starting the production season with zero surplus supplies so buyers will need to purchase early rather than later.
May 17, 2013 - Author: Dennis Stein, Michigan State University Extension
Farms in the Saginaw Valley continue to plow down old hay and pasture fields which will continue to make a limited hay supply available this year. The winter of 2013 has Michigan starting this growing season with a zero supply of 2012 hay. That puts hay buyers in the position of needing to bid much higher prices to purchase the 2013 hay crop, according to Michigan State University Extension.
With fewer acres in production and most farms trying to rebuild their own inventories, a hay buyer will need to purchase supplies early to be sure they will be able to secure what they need over the next year. In the past, many hay buyers have enjoyed the option of buying hay as they need it.
The current short crop situation will create new challenges for the buyer and possible opportunities for the seller who may be asked to store some hay for later delivery. The value of storage will need to be part of the purchase price or purchase agreement. Hay buyers may want to use resources like the hay seller/ buyers list sponsored by MSU Extension to post your farm's hay purchase needs on this web page early to identify a local supply if possible. In this type of situation, buyers need to be ready to pay for or at least make a reasonable deposit for the 2013 hay they will take delivery of at some point in the future. This may mean that buyers will need to secure a line of credit from their lenders to help cover the farms cash flow needs of purchasing hay and forage needs.
With limited overall hay production, hay seller's will be able to see higher first, second and third cutting prices for hay even if it is purchased straight from the field. Hay sellers can expect to be asked to sign hay purchase agreements as buyers work to insure that they are not the farm that is left without enough hay next fall if supply falls short of demand. If the buyer has limited storage, consider how to value extra storage that you may have available.
Most hay users have become more aware and active in finding and purchasing alternative feeds that can be used to replace high priced hay crops for their livestock. Tight supplies for most of the nation have put pressure on nearly every alternative forage to have a price that tracks closely to baled hay prices.

I picked up a new pet bed at the "Black Friday" sale; little did I know it would create such excitement! Here are 2 one - minute videos of Willy and Tasha. Willy had picked it up and carried it in to the Family Room from another room -- they were just so happy!
Riley KNEW it was a bed, lol.
Stand by, more photos of Pre Christmas Fun to come!


text: I love my stealth being a warm sleeper, but getting to the fall now feel it could use a slight boost. It lofts up pretty good but there are definite spots even after shifting the down evenly that don't fully loft. I'm thinking of opening the one seam and adding some more down but not sure if this is necessarily the answer. I learned from my search fu that the Jacks overstuff by about 15-20% on average but mine has a few baffles that could loft more imo. I know it's a sew-thru and hence runs cooler than a baffled quilt but could adding that little extra may help I think. Maybe a lower rated quilt would be better but for right now this is the option I'm looking at. Any opinions? Thanks.

Stacy Roach needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
A Loveable Feast
We are a small catering firm, specializing in food that is creative, unique and above all, delicious. The tag line for our business is "Passion - Not a Profession" because we do food because we love it, not because we have to. This is no 9-5 job for us, and we want the company logo to express our love of food and passion for creating amazing events that allow our clients to create connections with their guests. Our food is real - authentic, but not overly fussy. It does express our creativity and whimsy, but it is based on quality ingredients that we allow to really shine.
We often serve food grown on our acre in Northern California. We try to buy organic, sustainable food and we really strive to support small, local suppliers.
Our niche is high-end catering with a personal touch, but not quite at high-end pricing.
We feel it's important to give back, so we donate 10% of all our revenue to charity. It can be the host's pick or we can select the charity. We typically support Contra Costa Interfaith Housing - they provide housing to low-income families dealing with disabilities. Or Stand Against Domestic Violence. We also donate to Heifer International.
Discerning individuals and corporations looking to host an event that is special and unique. We can provide catering services for any event from a down-home BBQ to a formal sit-down dinner. We provide all services for the event, including event management, coordinating rentals, party theme decorations and/or flowers and, of course, the fabulous food.
We need a logo for our small catering business - A Loveable Feast. This logo will be used on business cards and all marketing materials, including our yet-to-be-built web site.
Above all, the logo needs to reflect our creativity & passion for food and events that connect people.
The literary reference to Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" was not the original impetus for the brand, but once we narrowed in on "A Loveable Feast" as a name, we also instantly felt a connection to the book. "A Moveable Feast" is a collection of essays written by Hemingway about his experiences as an ex-pat in Paris.
We'd like the logo to be icon/graphic based or be a combination of text/icon.
1. Creative with a modern edge.
2. Approachable - nothing too elegant.
3. Text should be strong and clean, nothing frilly.
4. Feel free to experiment with colors.
5. Logo should work on white or black background.
6. No cartoons.
7. No stock images or clip art
8. Try to stay away from forks, knives & spoons - there is a lot of that out there in existing catering company logo's that we saw.
We require a photoshop layered PSD or other layered vector format, as well as a web-ready .jpg file (specific dimensions determined once winner's logo is chosen)
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Health information systems in developing countries: Star Wars or reality?
In the late 1990s, an international consultant told me that a proposed electronic health information system in the Dominican Republic was "like Star Wars and will not work in this country."
Our objective was to improve service delivery by virtually connecting health providers to share medical records with one another as patients moved from health centers to hospitals. We learned that this was much more than an overnight task, requiring a sustained medium-term effort by the government to get the system fully up and running.
In recent years, I've seen similar efforts realized in the Russian Federation, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Botswana. In two Russian regions, Chuvash Republic and Voronezh Oblast, for example, electronic records are helping coordinate the flow of clinical and financial information across the health systems as facilities, departments within hospitals, and health insurance agencies have been "virtually" connected through broadband networks. The electronic records are supporting clinical decision-making, facilitating performance measurement and pay-for-performance initiatives, and ultimately the continuity of care as patients move across the health system. Inter- and intra-regional medical consultations and distance learning activities are also being supported by telemedicine networks that connect specialized hospitals with general facilities.

Inspired by a post of lauredhel's asking for recent movies that pass the Bechdel test, I wondered if anyone has some recommendations for good recent geeky entertainment that also passes, ideally comprehensively rather than barely. Share your recommendations in comments. Fanfic and vids and similar welcome!
Quick refresher: passing the Bechdel test requires that:
- the movie [media/story/game/narrative…] has at least two women characters;
- who talk to each other;
- about something other than a man.
If you'd like to recommend something not-women-hostile that passes a variant instead (two people of colour who talk about something other than a white person, for example) go ahead.
