It seems that the people in Toronto making the most noise, either: a) didn't vote for the man, so they already don't like him or b) didn't vote at all, which means they should keep their mouths shut because the waived their right to an opinion when they abstained from voting. Rob could turn this into a big success if he were to adopt a Chris Farley (may he rest in peace) type persona and do the talk show circuit and poke fun at himself -- he could get appearances on Letterman, Leno, SNL, and most any other show for the asking -- that will be the only thing anyone remembers of this whole affair and he'd be a shoe next year's election. That would really piss off the press and all the councillors that hated him from day 1!

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/269510.php New research from Lund University in Sweden suggests that a new aggressive strain of HIV develops more rapidly into AIDS than other current strains. From first infection with HIV to developing AIDS can be as short as 5 years - the shortest known for HIV-1 types - say the researchers. The new strain is a "recombinant" virus - a cross of two viruses that meet in an infected person. The two viruses, known as 02AG and A3, are the two most common strains in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. The recombinant strain is called A3/02 and so far has only been seen in the region. There are over 60 different epidemic strains of HIV-1 in the world. But usually different regions are dominated by only one or two of them. However, if two strains infect the same person, they can combine to form a cross between the two - known as a recombinant. The researchers report their findings in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and first author Angelica Palm, who is working toward a doctorate at Lund, says: "Recombinants seem to be more vigorous and more aggressive than the strains from which they developed." The new strain, A3/02, has previously been described by one of the other authors, Dr. Joakim Esbjörnsson. Recombinant strains of HIV are spreading rapidly around the world Although it has so far only been seen in West Africa, other studies have shown recombinants are spreading more rapidly around the world. Parts of the world, such as the US and Europe where there are high levels of immigration, are seeing increasingly mixed and complex variants of HIV. This is quite different to the early years of the HIV epidemic, when there were few dominant strains and no recombinants. The researchers suggest we need to be wary of the rise in recombinants, as senior author Patrik Medstrand, professor of Clinical Virology at Lund University, explains: "HIV is an extremely dynamic and variable virus. New subtypes and recombinant forms of HIV-1 have been introduced to our part of the world, and it is highly likely that there are a large number of circulating recombinants of which we know little or nothing. We therefore need to be aware of how the HIV-1 epidemic changes over time." The researchers drew their conclusions after looking at data gleaned in a Lund University project that carried out a long-term follow-up of HIV-infected people in Guinea-Bissau. The team is now planning to spend more time looking at recombinant viruses and their occurrence among HIV-infected people in Europe. In 2012, scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), reported finding a clue as to why some people infected with HIV appear to remain healthy for 20 years or more, while others progress to AIDS much faster. They found that "slow progressors" were more likely to carry a gene variant that causes the immune system to attack a particular section of the HIV protein. Written by Catharine Paddock PhD

Never fucking quit!

A bit of advise: If anyone complains about your spelling, tell them to fuck right off because your spelling was fine, it's your grammar that was a bit off but who gives a fuck.

Pay back the fuckin' money you borrowed... from me.

I watch endless episodes of Gilligan's Island and Married with Children.

Have we really gotten to this point?

CERB is a place that you can ask questions that would otherwise go unasked, and receive frank & honest answers. Where else can someone ask "how do I make my cum taste better"?

100 posts is a good start -- keep going!

For a bachelor, the stove is the most important appliance in the home. No, seriously! It's got the timer on it that tells you when the 30 minutes are up and your pizza is free.

It's the ladies that make CERB a great site. Without the ladies, it would just be a bunch of guys which I think would be sad.

The following article discusses how the mysterious random small charges that show up on cell phone bills can add up to a significant amount and shouldn't be ignored. It is written for employer's who pay for employee's cell phones, but the principals are the same for individuals. http://www.eweek.com/networking/how-cramming-affects-your-companys-bottom-line.html NEWS ANALYSIS: It's easy to dismiss the mysterious random small charges that show up on cell phone bills, but cramming could be a significant tax on your company's costs, and it's only getting worse with BYOD. Chances are you never look at the detail in those small charges that show up on the cell phone bills your employees submit as part of your company's bring-your-own-device (BYOD) program. But those charges are there if you look, and while they may be small, taken together "cramming" can really add up. For most people, a charge of under $2 and labeled something like "Voicemail" or "Internet Surcharge" isn't something to turn into a priority requiring follow-up. But maybe it should be. In an announcement last week, the four major wireless carriers in the United States said that they're dropping Premium Short Message Service (SMS) support as a way to crack down on cramming. "Cramming," if you haven't heard the term before, refers to unauthorized third-party charges that are placed on phone bills as a way to defraud consumers. Cramming has been a problem for years on landlines, ever since carriers were allowed to collect money for services through phone bills. While many third-party charges for services are legitimate, there's little effective regulation on them beyond consumer complaints, and as a result scammers can rack up billions of dollars a few bucks at a time. The problem has moved on to wireless carriers, where the easiest way to accomplish such a charge is to claim that the phone owner has sent a premium message. These messages in themselves aren't illegal. In fact, they're a common fundraising method for charities, where you'll often see a request to send a text to a five-digit number to make a donation. But this method of billing also provides a conduit for extracting funds from people who aren't paying attention to their bills. Now that employees are submitting their phone bills as expense items as part of an agreement with their employers to provide their own cell phone for business use, this problem has become magnified. While each individual charge on a wireless bill may amount to only a few dollars, all of the unauthorized charges on a given bill can be substantial, especially if the employee getting the bill doesn't know what to look for. Add up several of those charges for each employee, and then multiply them by all of your employees using wireless devices, and it's not hard to see totals adding up to thousands of dollars per month. Multiply that by the months over the course of a year, and it can be tens of thousands of dollars. This money drain is enough to cause nearly any company to take action, especially considering that your company gets no value for that expense. So what can you do about it? Even though the major carriers are eliminating a major source of cramming, that doesn't mean the charges will disappear. So you should perform at least a check of a sample of employee wireless bills each month. If you find a suspicious charge, either ask the employee to follow up or ask permission to follow up for them. Fortunately, follow-up is easy. "What we have always told customers is that if there's a charge on your bill you didn't incur, just get in touch with us and we will credit you for it," AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel told eWEEK in an email. Siegel said AT&T will eliminate the charge with just a phone request. Verizon Wireless, meanwhile, said it has already begun looking for ways to cut out unauthorized charges. "For years, Verizon has been vigilant in protecting our customers from bad actors," Verizon Wireless General Counsel William B. Petersen told eWEEK in an email. "There have been numerous times we have terminated programs and in some cases have taken aggressive legal action in order to ensure our customers were protected. "Since premium messaging was first introduced, technology advances and smartphone adoption have dramatically changed the way customers access information. Verizon had previously decided to exit the premium messaging business because of these changes as well as recent allegations that third parties have engaged in improper conduct in providing premium messaging services to our customers." Petersen said Verizon will continue to support text-to-donate for charitable programs and text-to-contribute for political campaigns that use the technology. Sprint and T-Mobile have said recently that they are also eliminating their premium SMS services. "T-Mobile will no longer allow third parties to bill customers for premium SMS services," T-Mobile spokesman Glenn Zaccara told eWEEK in an email, noting that there are some exceptions, including text-to-donate services and Google Play charges. But it's worth noting that those premium services are not the only way that scammers can add third-party charges to phone bills. Those can show up in the guise of charges for nearly anything, but normally they're intended to appear as if they were legitimate charges, and they're intentionally kept small. The idea is that nobody is going to take the time to call to dispute a 99-cent charge. But remember, those charges add up. A 99-cent charge is a $12 annual fee, and if there's one such charge, there are probably many. It can add up to real money if not kept in check. In the meantime, perform a random sample of phone bills to get a handle on the size of the problem and create a policy regarding add-on charges for phone bills. For example, you might choose to allow charitable contributions, but you might also choose not to reimburse employees for them. Keeping a lid on these expenses need not take a lot of time, but it can pay big dividends over the long run.
