- Great view, good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Mi fiance and I went to this restaurant during our visit to Vegas to try the view and the italian food. While the ambiance and the view were excellent, the menu was good but maybe not as spectacular as we expected. The cheesecake dessert, though, was beyond amazing. I would recommend it for the view, just don't expect to be amazed with the food.Special Features:
- Fantastic food and service.scooterbunnyDined on 9/16/2014The food was fantastic here and the waiters were very attentive. We used a Groupon coupon which kept the price down, otherwise it is fairly expensive. Great view of the strip at night.Special Features:
- Outstanding everything!KCDallasDined on 9/13/2014Wife and I had dinner Saturday night - steak was perfect, veal parm was exceptional and the creamed spinach was awesome. Zero complaints about anything - service was impeccable - we will definitely return.Special Features:
- Great Service and Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/12/2014Once again, we were impressed by Nove! The seafood was particularly delicious and the servers Philip and his assistant were exceptional. Only thing was that is was a little slow on Friday, we were expecting a larger crowd for the special weekend. Nonetheless , it was a great experience !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice well priced menu but 1st classBrentEileenAlexDined on 9/11/2014Nove was an interesting find. I went there with a friend who is a bit of an expert on Italian food & wine. We were pleasantly surprised to find some very traditional items on the menu and an impressive wine list with some excellent Italian wine selections not seen often. Nove is well worth a visit to The Palms. When the check comes, you find find that you enjoyed a nice dinner for much less than the overpriced venues at the larger Vegas resorts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid Italian off the StripRobinEffieDined on 9/10/2014Nove had very good food in a nice space with a view from a high floor. The service was OK, but I think that had more to do with the fact that they didn't have enough servers working — our server seemed to be running a LOT of tables. We had the Salumi appetizer and although it was excellent, lots of Italian meats and cheeses and a full pizza, it should be scaled to the number of people — it was way too much food for 2. For dinner, I had the Lobster Pizza, which was kinda like a lobster/arugula salad on a flat bread — it was perfect for me, light and fresh. Hubby had the Shrimp Scampi, it was a good sized portion, lots of shrimp and well-cooked but it was a little bland, could have used more scampi flavor.Special Features:
- AmazingFlipDined on 9/9/2014By far one of the best meals I've had in a while. If you like seafood get their signature dish "NOVE Spaghetti".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superlative dining experienceMikeDined on 9/6/2014Staying at The Palms in Las Vegas recently, my wife and I decided to try out Nove Italiano. The entire experience was utterly fantastic. From the moment we arrived at the reservation desk at the base of the Fantasy Tower, we were totally impressed with the professionalism and efficiency with which we were whisked away to an Italian paradise. The staff was superlative and both helpful and knowledgable throughout our dining experience. It was by far one of the most enjoyable meals we have ever had. The atmosphere was stunning and the food was heavenly. Oh, yes, we intend to let as many friends as possible know about this dining gem. Bravo, Nove! P.S. Try the Shrimp Francaise. The sauce is the best I've ever tasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Attention to detailslivnilliDined on 8/29/2014My group and i enjoyed our recent experience at NOVE in The Palms Casino. I made the reservation on opentable and requested a dessert or small cake for a birthday we were celebrating. Not only did they provide a beautiful cake at the end of our meal, but even the chef came out to sing. It was very nice. The food was good.... nothing spectacular. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get but the abmience, view and service made up for it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food and impeccable serviceBolterDined on 8/29/2014We were in town for a birthday celebration and arrived late for our reservation (coordinating large groups is like herding cats). The restaurant easily accomodated us and provided a perfect evening after a long day. The serving team was prompt and available without hovering and the recommendations for appetizers and main courses were spot on. After the meal, the staff provided a birthday dessert (without request) and access to the Ghost bar night club located in the hotel for our entire group. We had window seating with an amazing view of the strip which stimulated a lot of conversation - request when booking. Thank you to the staff at Nove for making the night unforgettable and for treating us like family!!Special Features:
- Great view, excellent foodhappy712Dined on 8/27/2014The view was spectacular, being on the 51st floor. The food was flavorful and service excellent.Special Features:
- Save you time (and money)IndianaADined on 8/22/2014NOVE was a disappointment. High hopes, but no amazing experience. Starters were very nice. Drinks were watered down. Main course was a big flop for both my wife and I. We didn't stick around for desert. Had an amazing view of the giant Palms sign outside the window. Only strip views we could tell were from an upper level dining area reserved for large parties (or very wealthy clients?). $180 for a disappointing dinner. I haven't found great Italian in Vegas and may just give up after this experience.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014Great food and outstanding service. Waiter even brought some complimentary deserts at the end of the meal. Also alowed me tyo use three coupons for free side dishes hwen normally only one is allowed.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014The food is great and so is the atmosphere. The view of the strip and the selection of great menu makes it a good place to beSpecial Features:
- Great First ImpressionJZHIDined on 8/19/2014First time dining at this establishment. Staff was very friendly. Great setting. Lots of room between tables which we love. Just hate places that try to cramp in as much tables as they can. The shrimp francaise was excellent, fresh and delicious. Lobster pizza was great with chunks of lobster meat and not oily at all. Ended the meal with Tiramisu, ok but could better. Overall experience was great. Would want to go back and try other items on their menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fall in love with novefood4meDined on 8/19/2014Celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary at Nove. Service was great, food was delicious and dessert and the port wine was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thank youOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014We came to try something new and exciting and that's just what we got. This was the perfect place to go for my girlfriend birthday dinner. And the view is amazing! Thanks againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely SpotCatchHerifYouCanDined on 8/14/2014Great view, food is good. Service has room for improvement. I will try again another timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service. Food uninspired.ServoEatsDined on 8/13/2014Wife and I were early dinner guests on a Wednesday evening. Lobster bisque was rich, tasty with just a bit of heat to it and presentation was classy. Caesar salad was bland. Rigatoni bolognese was hearty but sauce a bit dry. Baked penne in a "spicy tomato sauce" also bland and tasted like primary ingredient was canned Roma tomatoes. The view is amazing. The front of house staff were attentive without being intrusive, prompt, and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great...with a deal!fluxxyDined on 8/12/2014Boyfriend and I ate here with a Groupon (I think I paid $44, for $80 worth of food). Definitely not a cheap place to eat, but the decor, ambience, food, and view were all really great (we love a restaurant with darker/moody lighting and booths for added privacy). Definitely more of a special occasion type place. I've found that in Vegas, if your going to eat somewhere with a view (Voodoo Steakhouse, Top of the Stratosphere, Eiffel Tower), your usually paying extra for the view without even knowing it. We did enjoy the view and the food, but I don't think we'd go back if we were going to pay full price. There are many other Italian restaurants with comparable quality food for a fraction of the price. Sorry Nove!Special Features:
- Off The Strip GemOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/30/2014Tucked away off the busy strip is a fine dinning experience that is worth the can fare. The views are amazing. The ambience is soft and inviting, the service impeccable and the food mouth watering. Best ribeye I have had and I have been to many top steakhouses. Would highly recommend visiting The Ghost Bar afterwards for a night cap.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An abundance of flavor!greenacresDined on 7/25/2014Fantastic food! I highly recommend to all those who want to truly enjoy great food that explodes with quality and flavor! Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rubbery Italian Food!VetyExyVIPDined on 7/23/2014Total disappointment! 2nd time visit but no improvement! Just an expensive 'Olive Garden' without the salad! Nice view/Bad Food...Special Features:
- A must do in Vegas!globetrotterDined on 7/22/2014We had a party of 6 and we chose this restaurant as our "fancy" dinner spot this trip. The staff was very friendly, professional, and very accommodating. We used a Groupon to save money on our bill. They even allowed us to explore other parts of the restaurant after we ate so that we could take pictures. The view was fantastic and it was good to get off the Vegas strip for a change of pace. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Great DinnerloveitalianfoodDined on 7/19/2014We had an amazing meal at NOVE. Order the meatballs as an appetizer then go for the Nove Spaghetti!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3rd time dinerDrgerryDined on 7/19/2014This is my third time at this restaurant...Great view from the 51st floor of the Palms. Service and ambiance are really good...derving of extra gratuity. Food has always been VERY good. The whole experience is great!Special Features:
- The Best Italian in VegasCleanfoodpleaseDined on 7/19/2014Service was great! Food was even better. We had been here before but it had been several years. We felt it was top 3 restaurants we had ever been too. So we wanted to try it again. We both felt it was better than the first time. I would go back to vegas just to eat here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BobLDined on 7/18/2014If you're looking for good Italian food in Las Vegas don't miss Nove Italiano. View spectacular, service excellent and wonderful food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/4/2014My favorite Vegas spot. Calamari is to die for. Wait/Bar staff is always amazing. NOVE keeps getting better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I give it a Nine.SportivoVIPDined on 7/4/2014Nice place, casual yet elegant décor, attentive wait staff (Caesar was awesome!), and an eclectic, yet traditional menu from which to choose. Great views from the 51st floor!Special Features:
- mixed feelingsItalianloverDined on 7/2/2014We were here for my wife's birthday. It was good, but not more than that. Wines are far overpriced (65 dollar for a standard Trebbiano??), they try to be Italian, but tastes are a poor copy of real Italian food. The biggest disappointment was my pasta alle vongole. I got a pasta with something that tasted like rubber and appeared to be big overgrown mussels. On my remarks regarding this, the waiter went to check in the kitchen and came back assuring me that this was real vongole, but they could make them smaller in the kitchen. I decided tot thank for that and asked them to keep the plate in the kitchen. From then we were ignored by the personnel so we decided to skip dessert and get the hell out of there. Don't expect us to be back!
- Never fails to impressRainCityGamblerDined on 7/2/2014Nove Italiano is one of my go to places anytime that I'm in Las Vegas. Located on the 55th floor of the Palms it has an amazing view looking out towards the Las Vegas Strip. It's a great place to take a date. The food is spectacular, the service attentive without being overbearing, and you will not have to break your piggy bank to pay for the meal. My date loved it's already on the list of things we'll be doing the next time we're in Las Vegas.Special Features:
- Excellent!Kaylamm3Dined on 6/28/2014My husband and I ate here after getting married last week. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Everything was absolutely perfect, from the food to the view to the wait staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian Food in VegasTheFis4FarinasDined on 6/21/2014Must check this place out. The food is very good. Large portions. The view is also very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnercabmangeorgeDined on 6/20/2014Second trip to Nove. Most notable is the unmatched wait staff. Friendly, attentive and professional. Very good food and desserts were terrific.Special Features:
- Once again...EXCELLENT!LocalVIPDined on 6/17/20142nd time there in one week. Tremendous wait staff, lovely ambience, and excellent food. Thank you Nove' one of the best in Las Vegas!Special Features:
- Celebrated our anniversaryNYCinVegasDined on 6/17/2014The food and service were pretty good. Our back waiter was the best out of the two for sure! The only thing is that we both felt that we were pegged at first because we were using a Groupon. Until we started ordering past the amount of it. That was a little disappointing. I'm not sure that I would go back because if that but that was just our experience. Especially because it was in our reservation notes that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BreathtakingLove2DineDined on 6/13/2014FOOD WAS DIVINE. The atmosphere and service was out of this world.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Place spelt in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak for 1 hour; drain.
In a 5-quart Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add bay leaves, paprika, cumin, saffron (if using), spelt, broth, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes or until spelt is tender.
Add tomatoes and chickpeas and cook for 20 minutes or until flavors have blended. Discard bay leaves. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
I was so excited about the prospect of this recipe, however... taking a closer look it shows that you use chicken broth as the base. This is quite disappointing as you have it listed under vegetarian recopies.Reply
This recipe was awesome! Used barley, as suggested. Wonderful for a cold winter night.Reply
Interesting that this recipe, which uses chicken stock, is listed as vegetarian. Need I state the obvious when I suggest using vegetable stock?Reply
Derailedlisa: I make it with barley all the time, and follow the same procedure as written for the spelt. It's one of my families favorite meals with a fresh loaf of bread.Reply
Could Barley be used instead of Spelt?Reply
This soup is soooo good and easy to make. I added 1 small diced zucchini with the chickpeasReply
Very easy to make and delicious. The spelt has a great texture. This is a great addition to my soup repetoire.Reply
I made this one too. The whole family loved it. I couldn't find spelt at the store so I used brown rice instead. I served it with a salad and fresh whole wheat bread. Family requested I make it again.Reply
This recipe was healthy and delicious. The one change I made was a sprinkle of cilantro instead of parsley. Had fresh cilantro and thought it would go well with the cumin. Will definitely make again. *****Reply

Tidewater Community College and the City of Virginia Beach will join together to open the Joint-Use Library, one of the most innovative libraries in the region, on Aug. 17 with a community celebration beginning at 10 a.m.
The day's events will include family storytimes, Lego-building, music, a "frozen watercolors" craft for children and families, e-reader and gadget demos, special performances and more.
The 125,000-square-foot library – located at the corner of Rosemont Road and Faculty Boulevard on the TCC Virginia Beach Campus – will house more than 128,000 items and will offer the best of both worlds: the research capacity and longer hours of a college library and the materials, programming and children's area of a public library. TCC students and city residents will enjoy the full scope of the library's offerings, a unique feature for a library co-managed by a college.
"The Joint-Use Library will be another shining example of the entrepreneurial efforts by Tidewater Community College, and a jewel to the students at TCC and to the residents of Virginia Beach," President Edna V. Baehre-Kolovani said. "This partnership creates an unparalleled resource that will benefit the Hampton Roads community for decades to come. That it is being launched during the college's 45th anniversary makes it even more special."
Baehre-Kolovani will join with Virginia Beach Mayor William D. Sessoms Jr. for the Aug. 17 festivities, as well as a by-invitation dedication the evening before.
"The Tidewater Community College and City of Virginia Beach collaboration has created an amazing space for citizens of all ages to come together, learn and improve their chances for achievement," Sessoms said. "The Joint-Use Library highlights Virginia Beach as a 'Community for a Lifetime' – and the greatest city in the world."
An interactive children's area with themed activities tailored to the City of Virginia Beach is only one of the special features of the Joint-Use Library. An information marketplace with a coffee shop nearby greets patrons when they enter; more than 350 computers scattered throughout the building are for public use; and free Wi-Fi access is available. Work stations will allow students to digitally scan pages from books and periodicals, and 36 rooms will provide space for group study.
The building will be open following TCC's schedule, meaning that when classes are in session, the public will have access for 16 more hours a week than a typical public library schedule. A community room is available for meetings.
Funding for the $43 million library, which will employ 125, is split: 83 percent came from TCC and 17 percent from the City of Virginia Beach. Construction began in June 2011.
A community anchor for more than 50 years, Virginia Beach Public Library includes a central library, seven area libraries, a law library, a bookmobile and the new Tidewater Community College/City of Virginia Beach Joint-Use Library, opening August 17, 2013. Services include workforce development and job-search support, small business resources, computer and technology classes, early childhood literacy classes and local history archives. In addition to books in a variety of formats (print, audio and downloadable), the library provides online research tools accessible from home or work, as well as movies, music, and a variety of specialty collections. Visit www.VBgov.com/libraries for more information.
Founded in 1968, Tidewater Community College (www.tcc.edu) helps adults of all ages and backgrounds achieve their personal goals and contribute to the vitality of the greater community. TCC is the largest provider of higher education and workforce development services in southeastern Virginia, serving both students and local employers with more than 150 academic and career programs. It is one of 23 schools that make up the Virginia Community College System.

Video tutorials… Yay or nay?
Hey everyone! In these past few days, in between work and school, I've been drawing up some designs so I can get back to making nail art for you all. I hope you're proud of me! But I wanted to take this post to talk about something serious.
In the past week or so, my brother has accepted a promotion at his job, which will cause him to move out of the state by the end of the year. And the rest of my household family wants to move, too (possibly by summer or even before that). Which means that I will have to leave Ohio and go to Florida (St. Petersburg area, I believe). And I'm actually torn as to what I want to do!
This time, last year, I wanted to move to Florida to go to the University of Miami, study biology/biomedical/genetics and be in happiness and enjoy the sunshine, but I had to stay here because college is expensive. With that, I went to UC and got a job at a pet store, and have been offered the opportunity to go to grooming school, which will result in me receiving a MUCH better paycheck. However, with moving, all of this may go to waste. At UC, credits are difficult to transfer to other schools and still retain them as valid. I'd have to quit my job (that I've grown to love a lot). I honestly don't know if I'd have to get rid of my pets (cat and a German Shepherd. A lot of people claim them to be "Agressive dog breeds". She's my baby). A lot of my family lives up here: my dad, grandma, uncles, etc. And my one of two actual friends lives up here, and I've met great people up here as well. I've spent a lot of my life here. My mom and brother have been asking me, "What have you lost in Ohio? What do you have to lose?" Besides all of that… I guess not a whole lot.
At the same time, I could use a change. I would live about 15 minutes from the beach, I'd get to be in Florida, I'd get to enjoy warm weather (I was not made to live in the snow. I'm from Louisiana, anyways), I'd get to be in Florida, and maybe I could get more opportunities to meet more nail artists and get closer to reaching my dreams to work with those in the nail art "industry". Did I mention that I'd get to be in Florida?
I guess one of the good things is that I'd get to leave some dark memories behind. It would be very alleviating.
SO, if you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you leave a big portion of your life behind and start anew? Do you live in Florida?! Are there any nail artists in Florida?
*I JUST THOUGHT OF ANOTHER POSITIVE! I've always wanted to tag team with other nail artists and do some really cool stuff (I've always thought of doing collaborative work of some sort, nail art conventions, etc.. I know I have big dreams).
I had something like this on my old blog at Xanga, but I'm going to put it here because I'm sure it will be useful.
1. Use a good base if you want your colors to stand out. People usually go for white, but I use shimmery colors (like in my XBox marble), bold colors, black, grey, holos, whatever I choose. You have to experiment to get something unique and different. If you don't put anything underneath it or if you use something very sheer, you won't get a good result.
2. Why aren't my colors spreading? There are a couple factors to that. The first thing may be the water. It's your preference as far as how you like it, but I find it better using room-temperature, filtered water. It just works for me. The second thing may be your polish. From experience, don't try using polishes that have pieces of glitter in them. You are guaranteed to have a hard time. Sometimes, your polish isn't runny enough. If it's not, add some thinner to your polish and you should be okay. And, at times, it may be just the polish itself. Some brands have polishes that just don't work well for water marbling. You just have to try them out and see which ones work and which ones don't.
3. You must work quickly. I can't stress that enough. Have your colors ready to drop in to the water, and once you do all your rounds of polish, get your toothpick, needle, or whatever you use in there and get to swirling. If you wait too long, the polish will dry (and it dries quicker in water) and you won't be able to move it. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend using quick-dry polishes because you'll have to move at hyper speed if you want it to be a success. That's from my experience, but you can try it out for yourself.
4. How the design turns out depends on your swirls and your rings. When I do my rings, depending on the color, I go for 2-3 drops in each ring, just to make sure that the colors will show like they're supposed to. And when I do my rings, I go for as many rounds as I can to make sure I get every color on each nail. How the marble comes out depends on how you swirl it. Some techniques I taught myself to do, but to get some great help, go to My Simple Little Pleasures. Her videos are well-done and very helpful.
5. Want to avoid making a mess? Some people like to be excessively messy, but there are some of us who like to make life easier in the end. Everyone has their way of doing it, so I'm going to share the ones I've heard of and the ones that I use. Many people, from what I've observed, use Scotch tape around their nails, so that way they can just rip off the tape and there's far less clean-up to do. I find this to be a great idea. The other technique that I use is the Vaseline (I use lotion) trick. You know that when you paint your nails, your nails should be dry and free of oils so that your nail polish has a strong attachment. Same idea. I put lotion all around my nails and a little bit down the finger (not a really thick layer, but a decent amount). When I dip my fingers in, the polish will stick to the nail, but the rest of the polish on the surface will spread out and away, making it easier for you to take out your finger. And if there is some polish left, use a Q-tip to clean up around the edges. You can find your own technique, but try these first. They will make the process easier.
6. Please be aware of what you're marbling in! Based off of my experience (and I'm sure some others'), do NOT water marble in anything made of styrofoam. The polish eats the styrofoam away, and water will be all over the place. Please use plastic, maybe paper, or even a ceramic bowl to make sure this doesn't happen to you.
Simply put, water marbling is all about trial and error because it's never the same for everyone and for every time you do it. You have to learn which polishes work, which clean-up techniques are helpful, what swirls will make you happy, and how you like to dip your fingers in. You have to experiment in order to come up with something that you'll love.
If there are tips that you have, add on to it!

Oakley Oil Rig Sunglasses
If you're looking for a transfusion of art and attitude, it's called OIL RIG. OIL RIG is built with lightweight O MATTER for comfort that won?t quit on you, and the patented innovations of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS (HDO) maintain clarity along the entire lens curve. Oakley rigged up dual-cam hinges, capped the sides with metal icons, and created a continuous contour of a lens material called PLUTONITE that filters out 100% of all UV. Their proprietary geometries curve the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn?t stick out at the sides. Clarity and impact protection meet ANSI Z87.1 standards, and as far as personal standards, this eyewear is worthy of a lifestyle that follows nobody's lead.

We now return control of the Internet back to your computer. As an added bonus, or burden depending on your perspective, we will offer up one more update today. Many have emailed us asking if we are hiring and what it takes to work at the secret lair of the Grassy Knoll Institute. Read below (Me) and if you answer the same way, you need serious fucking help.
In the quest to be battle ready against the vanguard of giant aliens roaming the earth bent on dominating humankind, the Grassy Knoll Institute has established an elite first line of defense sniper school. Only the best of the best marksmen need apply.
Upon approval, candidates will be put through 6 months of rigorous training to hone aim, skill, and mental state. Those select candidates that complete the training will be given one final verbal test consisting of only one scenario.
This is how one such candidate answered out query scoring a perfect 100% grade.
Here is the scenario you must act upon and answer to complete your training.
You are positioned in a tree dressed in full camouflage. The tree is on the edge of a clearing. The clearing is your kill zone. Your mission is you must kill the first thing, whatever it will be, that enters the kill zone, and you must kill it with your first shot. Until you have completed this mission, you must sit in that tree. You must not move, eat, drink, pee, or anything else, lest you scare your target away.
After you have been sitting in that tree for twelve hours, seeing the weather change from the hot sun into a driving cold rain not moving a muscle, a six-year old girl enters the clearing, with a baby on her arm. What is the very first thing that you feel?

Peer to Peer Education Loans
This page discusses peer-to-peer education lending. Peer-to-peer lending, also referred to as social lending, person-to-person lending, microfinance and microloans, is a nontraditional form of lending involving unsecured loans between individuals. This is in contrast with traditional lending, where a bank or other financial institution makes loans to individuals.
Many peer-to-peer lending sites claim to draw their inspiration from Muhammad Yunus, the founder of microfinance. Muhammad Yunus established the Grameen Bank in 1974 to make small loans to poor families in rural Bangladesh. These small loans, often just $10 or $20, helped these families start small businesses and break the cycle of poverty. Over the three decades since its founding, Grameen Bank has lent nearly $6 billion to more than 6 million borrowers. Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. (For more information about Grameen Bank, see Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty, 2nd edition, October 2003.)
The connection between peer-to-peer lending and microfinance is tenuous. Micro-credit is focused on providing small loans to poor individuals. Peer-to-peer lending is focused on enabling larger loans between individuals. However, some forms of peer-to-peer lending involve combining many small loans from several strangers into a larger loan using a many-to-many or many-to-one model instead of a one-to-one model.
As of early 2008, peer-to-peer lending is in its infancy, especially for education loans. According to Celent, a research firm advising financial institutions, outstanding peer-to-peer loans of all types totaled $118 million in 2005, $269 million in 2006 and $647 million in 2007. According to the Wall Street Journal (Loan Web Sites Tapped for College Cash, April 29, 2008; Page D6), education loans represent less than 2% of Prosper.com's $135 million in outstanding loans. It is also unclear what percentage of the prospective borrowers are eventually funded.
The low volume of education loans at peer-to-peer lending sites is partly due to the short-term nature of peer-to-peer loans, which typically require short repayment terms ranging from 1 to 3 years. Traditional student loans have a longer-term horizon of 10 to 30 years as well as other terms customized to the need of students, such as in-school deferment of repayment. This has lead to the development of peer-to-peer lending sites that focus on education loans, such as Fynanz and GreenNote.
Currently there are a variety of different peer-to-peer lending models. The novelty of the field is leading to a lot of innovation. For example, Fynanz requires borrowers with an in-school deferment to make $25 "good faith" monthly payments. This helps maintain current borrower contact information and provides an early warning of default. It may reduce default rates by getting borrowers into the habit of making monthly payments. It also reduces borrower costs by reducing the amount of interest capitalization. In contrast, most borrowers of private student loans choose to defer payments of principal and interest during the in-school period.
Peer-to-peer lending sites may offer one or more of the following services:
Peer-to-peer lending sites typically fall into two main types:
Advice for Borrowers
Borrowers should focus on federal first, as federal education loans are cheaper, more available and have better repayment terms. Peer-to-peer lending should only be considered as an alternative to private student loans, and also more expensive forms of credit such as credit cards. Federal education loans are cheaper, more available and have better repayment terms.
Potential advantages of peer-to-peer lending over private student loans include:
It is important to recognize that a peer-to-peer loan might not get fully funded, or funded at all. Except at friends and family sites, where the lender has a vested interest in the success of the borrower, the lenders are focused on obtaining a reasonable return on their investment. If the borrower asks for too low an interest rate or too much money, they might not attract any lenders. (Some of the peer-to-peer lending sites have imposed a structure on the transactions to avoid these problems. While this increases the likelihood of a borrower getting money, it also prevents competition from driving down costs for borrowers.)
Some of the peer-to-peer lending sites let the borrowers provide some background on why they need the money. Often this information is structured, providing information about the degree program, year in school, name of the college and GPA. The borrower's name and contact information is not disclosed to protect their privacy. In some cases the borrowers can post a message to the prospective lenders to tell them how they will use the money, and may include a photograph and recommendations from friends. Part of the attraction of peer-to-peer lending is getting to know the person to whom you are lending. It's not just about lending money and earning a return on your investment, but knowing that you are making a difference in people's lives.
Peer-to-peer loans between family members are unlikely to satisfy the IRS requirements for a qualified education loan as defined in 26 USC 221(d)(1). This means that the interest paid on these loans will not qualify for the student loan interest deduction and the loans will not be excepted from discharge under the US Bankruptcy Code (11 USC 523(a)(8)).
Advice for Lenders
The typical peer-to-peer lender does not have much experience evaluating risk, and so may not fully appreciate the impact of risk on the potential returns on investment. Considerations include calculating the risk-free rate of return, the need to diversify the investment and the lack of liquidity. Peer-to-peer lenders can lose their entire investment if the borrower defaults.
Risk-free rate of return. Lending $10,000 with a 10% interest rate may sound like a much better deal than a bank CD, but the bank CD is insured by the FDIC and the peer-to-peer loan is not. If the peer-to-peer loan has a 10% risk of default and a 3-year term, the equivalent risk-free rate of return is 2.24%, much lower than the 10% nominal rate. If the peer-to-peer loan has a 10% risk of default and a 10-year term, the equivalent risk-free rate of return is 7.54%. This better return on investment is because the risk of default is amortized over a longer term. Depending on the default rate and the loan term, peer-to-peer loans may pay better or worse than other investments, such as bank CDs.
The Peer-to-Peer Lending Calculator helps lenders evaluate the impact of the risk of default on the returns on investment. It calculates a risk-free rate of return from the loan balance, interest rate, loan term and default rate.
Diversification. If a lender invests all his funds in a single borrower and that borrower defaults, the lender has lost all his money. It is better to spread the money out over several borrowers to minimize the impact of any one borrower defaulting. None of the peer-to-peer lending sites provides automatic diversificiation across borrowers, so lenders have to do that manually. Some sites provide tools to make this easier.
FinAid recommends:
Unknown Risk of Default. Because peer-to-peer lending is in its infancy, it does not yet have long-term default rate statistics. Some proponents of peer-to-peer lending argue that the personal connection between borrowers and lenders may lead to better repayment and lower default rates. It seems likely that peer-to-peer lending may eventually have similar delinquency and default rates to private student loans since the loans are made to a similar population. This is especially true for peer-to-peer lending sites that establish similar credit score cutoffs to private student loans (e.g., FICO score thresholds that eliminate exposure to subprime borrowers). However, some analysts argue that peer-to-peer lending may have higher default rates and higher delinquency rates than private student loans, since the borrowers may self-select to those who were unable to obtain a private student loan. Since education loans usually provide a deferment of payments of principal and interest while the borrower is in school (and for a six month grace period after the borrower graduates or falls below half-time enrollment), it may take some time before a delinquency becomes evident.
In addition, peer-to-peer loans typically do not have any collateral, so if the borrower defaults or files for bankruptcy, you may have limited or no recourse to recover your investment.
The bottom line is that the long-term risk of default is unknown. Investors who are considering making peer-to-peer loans should treat it as though it is a high risk investment. Do not invest more than 5% of your savings and investments in peer-to-peer loans. There is a possibility that you could lose your entire investment.
Illiquid Investment. There is no secondary market for buying and selling peer-to-peer loans. This means that if you invest in a 10 year loan, you will probably have to wait the full 10 years in order to obtain full repayment of the loan. Eventually a secondary market will develop, but it is likely that you will have to sell the loans at a discount, possibly as much as 20% under the par value of the loans. Until then there is no exit strategy for these investments. So don't invest money you might need suddenly. Be sure to keep some money in liquid investments such as money market accounts, savings accounts and short-term bank CDs.
Prepayment Risk. If a borrower defaults, not only is the investor losing the principal balance of the loan, but also future payments of interest. Even if the peer-to-peer lending site provides a guarantee against default, that guarantee only covers the outstanding principal balance (and in some cases only part of the principal balance). The lender will not receive any further interest from the borrower after the borrower defaults. (Even if the borrower doesn't default, these loans do not have a prepayment penalty, so there's nothing to prevent a borrower from paying off the loan early. This may reduce the overall return on investment.)
As noted above, peer-to-peer loans between family members are not considered qualified education loans and accordingly are not excepted from discharge under the US Bankruptcy Code (11 USC 523(a)(8)). This means that if the borrower files for bankruptcy, the family member who lent the money may lose the entire investment.
On the other hand, peer-to-peer education lending is an investment in helping students pursue their educational and career aspirations. It may provide more satisfaction than other forms of investment, since the lender is doing well by doing good. It's not just about earning a return on your investment, but about helping people, so some losses due to default are to be expected.
Peer-to-Peer Lending Sites
In addition to these sites which lend to US students, QiFang is focused on providing peer-to-peer loans to Chinese students who want to go to college.
Microfinance Lending Sites for the Poor
There are several peer-to-peer lending sites that enable investors from the US and other industrial nations to lend to entrepreneurs in the developing world. The loans are typically in very small amounts, from $10 to $20 or so to several hundred dollars. These sites argue that they are an effective tool for ending poverty by providing a hand up instead of a handout. The sites include:
A key concern about these microlending sites, however, has to do with the interest rates they charge the borrowers. While the lenders who provide the loan funds receive interest rates of 1% to 4%, the borrowers are charged a median interest rate of 30.9% according to the MicroPlace blog. The microlending sites argue that when the loans are smaller and shorter in duration, the transaction costs (including administrative overhead and servicing) represent a much greater percentage of the loan balance, leading to higher interest rates. Nevertheless, the interest rates are usurious and one can't help but worry that these microfinance sites are exploiting the poor.
Other Resources
The Peer-to-Peer Lending Calculator helps lenders evaluate the impact of the risk of default on the returns on investment. Given some details about the loan and the risk of default, it calculates a risk-free rate of return.
See also Education Investments and Student Sponsorships, where the investors are providing grants to the students either for the good of the community or for a percentage of the student's post-graduation income.
See also Loan Comparison Sites, which are sites that compare the terms of traditional federal and private student loans.
Some colleges may establish peer-to-peer lending marketplaces which permit the college's alumni to lend to the college's current students.

ANCHORAGE, Ak. (WTAQ) - Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens has died in a plane crash near Dillingham, Alaska.
The single-engine plane went down last night in rugged terrain. Bad weather hampered rescue efforts.
There's no word on the fate of former NASA chief Sean O'Keefe, who was also on board. A preliminary report from the FAA says five of the nine people on board were killed in the crash.
There's no word on what caused the plane to go down. Stevens was 86 years old.
Stevens served in the U.S. Senate from December 24th, 1968 until January 3, 2009. That makes him the longest serving Republican senator in history. Stevens was a veteran of World War II and held senior positions in the Eisenhower administration, as well as practicing law, before being elected to office.
He was at one time the Senate's President Pro Tempore, as well as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee and Appropriations Committee. tevens was defeated in his 2008 re-election bid by Democrat Mark Begich after he was found guilty of multiple counts including failing to report gifts and other ethical violations.
Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder later vacated Stevens' conviction, citing prosecutorial misconduct during the trial.
Stevens was a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Harvard Law School. He is survived by his wife, Catherine, and daughter, as well as five children from his first marriage.
Stevens' first wife, Ann, was killed in 1978 in a plane crash which Stevens survived.

This is so what you would expect from the far left anti-gun groups. They only want to convince the people that guns are the problem, when the problem is people. They always try to misdirect people into thinking the gun owners are the problem. I wonder what they say about the first amendment, we already know what they think about the second amendment. If we didn't have the second amendment we would not have the first amendment. The NRA president doesn't have armed guards protecting him 24/7, he protects himself. Unlike Obumma that has armed guards everywhere he goes, at a staggering cost to the american taxpayer. Why is that? Because of deranged people, not guns. Lets ban deranged people, like the ones that come up with this video game

Carrie Underwood shared a lot of love with her fans in the U.K. and Ireland this past weekend and even facilitated a marriage proposal on stage in Belfast. During her sold out show at the city's Waterfront Hall, Carrie invited a couple on stage and the guy proposed to his girlfriend as Carrie and the crowd looked on. The audience gave a thunderous round of applause when she said yes.
Carrie also took time to see the sights in London including the London Eye, the giant Ferris wheel on the River Thames. Carrie posted a picture of Big Ben and Parliament taken from the top of the Eye before giving the closing performance at the C2C: Country to Country festival at the O2 arena Sunday night.
Carrie visited the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland before her show there as well. She resumes her Blown Away tour Thursday night in Richmond, VA.

- Release Date: Feb 12, 2013
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 3
- Summary: In Aliens: Colonial Marines, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and must prepare to face an Aliens assault more intense and horrific than ever before. Driven by an original story penned by renowned writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, Aliens: Colonial Marines retains the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while leveraging next-generation technology to create an entirely new interactive Aliens experience. Packing classic Aliens weaponry ranging from pulse rifles to flamethrowers as well as brand-new equipment and skills all within a squad-based combat system, players become an elite United States Colonial Marine. Featuring claustrophobic environments, a brooding soundtrack, and a multitude of surprises and shocks, players battle against menacing alien hordes in levels that include the stark interiors of the abandoned Sulaco and unique environments created specifically for the game. Aliens: Colonial Marines features a story driven single-player mode and an all-new four player co-op mode allowing players to share the chilling experience with three friends. In co-op mode, each player assumes the persona of a United States Colonial Marine and have a distinct role to play in the completion of every mission. [Sega]… Expand

Feb 12, 2013Like most successful license-based games, Aliens: Colonial Marines is much more than a loving homage; it serves as one of the most robust story-driven co-op experiences to date. The concept definitely has room to grow, but as maiden voyages go, Colonial Marines is a clear winner.
Feb 12, 2013It's a shame that a title seven years in the making could result in something so lackluster. Aliens: Colonial Marines had the foundations of a solid game, involving writers (David Weddle and Bradley Thompson from Battlestar Galactica fame) and a talented artist (Syd Mead from Blade Runner, Aliens and Tron). It even had the right voice talent bringing back Lance Henriksen as a Bishop-model clone...But it appears that the elongated, 'stop-start' development ultimately resulted in an inconsistent and disappointing final result.
Feb 12, 2013With solid shooting mechanics, well-designed environments and a tense atmosphere, it's a fine first-person shooter, but its repetitiveness, glitches, substandard graphics and insubstantial story make it a far cry from anything close to matching the prestige of James Cameron's beloved film.
Feb 12, 2013I haven't been this disappointed in a game in a long, long time. Not only does the campaign welch on its opportunity to create interesting and additive content in the Aliens universe, but the multiplayer is languid, broken, and laughably frustrating. Colonial Marines plays it as safe as possible and still can't manage to copy successfully proven ideas.
Feb 25, 2013Fundamentally, it is flawed with poor design and weak content. Colonial Marines feels dated, and fails to capture any essence of what an Alien game should be. Though Aliens: Colonial Marines has been crafted with the fans in mind, it just needed a stronger approach in its design, accompanied by some serious polish.
Feb 21, 2013Aliens: Colonial Marines is a slap in the face to anyone who put the game on their Most Wanted list at any point since 2007. It'll be remembered for a long time, but for all the wrong reasons. What a shame. I just feel sorry for those who bought the Season Pass… since there probably won't be a Season now.
Feb 14, 2013A disaster worthy of the Nostromo if you allow me to reference.
Score distribution:
Positive: 53 out of 167
Mixed: 26 out of 167
Negative: 88 out of 167
Feb 12, 2013Definitely a marmite game but as a fan of the series I can say that I loved this game, the environments from the film, the xenos themselves and little attentions to detail such as Bishops legs, Newts doll etc all make this a fans dream. The gunplay is essentially the same as any other FPS, but why fix what isn't broken.
For everyone who is saying the game sucks because the graphics are poor, yes the game doesn't match the graphical strengths of Far Cry 3, Dead Space 3 or Crysis 3 but that shouldn't matter good graphics don't make a good game. Also every single environment that features in both the film and game is almost perfectly recreated inch by inch, does it look photo realistic? No, but at least it shows that Gearbox put the effort in to make good environments.
Overall a lot of people will definitely hate this game, but personally I love it. If I had to some up this game in ten words I would say "Another glorious day in the Corps. I love the Corps."… Expand
Mar 26, 2013This review contains spoilers. Honestly, I do not see why others say ths is a bad game. I bought it and i have to say that even though it is not perfect, It is still fun. Sure the AI is bad but that does not mean it is a horrible game. The combat is nice and the enemies are challenging. The only bad thing is at the end where you fight the Queen, I upgraded my weapons and you just run around pulling levers, Other than that this is a decent game.… Collapse

Feb 22, 2013I rented this game yesterday, played it for about two hours, and promptly returned it. I can do without the best graphics (my first gaming system was the Odyssey) but I have come to expect something decent at least. This game is just not pretty. Another reviewer said it looks like an original Xbox title, which is probably not far from reality. Had the gameplay been fun the graphics could have been overlooked, but this is not the case. My time with this game made me think of the sloppy, lazy controls of Duke Nukem: Forever (I absolutely detested that game). I also couldn't help but compare this game to Dead Space, which has, for me, defined sci-fi horror gaming. Alien is a great movie franchise. Unfortunately, this game does not do the movies justice.… Expand
Feb 13, 2013This game is total GARBAGE! Anyone who rates this game over a 5 either works for Gearbox/Sega or knows nothing about videogames. I rented this thinking how bad can it really be...ohhh how I found out. Finished the campaign on hardest difficulty with about 30/50 achievements in about five hours. There are really about three levels in the game that you go back and fourth through three times with different lighting. All you do is shoot wave after wave of the same enemies over and over again then the credits role.. after the worst final boss encounter in years. Multiplayer is nothing that hasn't been done in every other game this generation. The only redeeming value to this experience was the sound effects which are spot on with the films. Believe it or not the terrible Alien Vs. Predator game from a few years back seems like a masterpiece compared to this trash. Shame on Gearbox for this terrible letdown of a product for all the fans of the Aliens franchise, fans of their previous work, and ruining the opportunity to create canon material for a movie franchise. THIS IS THE CANDIDATE FOR WORST GAME OF THE YEAR!!… Expand

Arena football: Week of drama behind, Utah Blaze shift focus to San Jose
By Christopher Kamrani
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Jun 28 2013 02:00PM
With the drama of the last week now put aside, the Utah Blaze sprinted around the Arena Football League turf Friday afternoon, walking through the game plan for Saturday night's division rivalry showdown with the San Jose SaberCats.
It was quite a relief.
Following the team's eviction on June 20, the front office worked tirelessly to reach an agreement with the Larry H. Miller Group to pay back owed rent through the first six games.
Now, back in their home, the Blaze will try to turn around a difficult season, one in which they've lost linchpins Caesar Rayford and Aaron Lesue and have gone to backup quarterback Jason Boltus after last season's AFL MVP Tommy Grady struggled through the first 10 weeks of the season. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
"We've got a job to do," said Utah coach Ron James. "You're professionals and you've got to make sure you do your jobs week in and week out; distractions aside, anything that happens outside the field, you've just got to march through it."
On to the SaberCats, a team that snatched away a road win from the Blaze 35-34 on May 25 in San Jose, Calif. More importantly, the 5-8 Blaze are still in the postseason picture, so James said the revolving door of players due to various injuries and departures must shut.
And the new guys must step up.
"Mathematically we aren't eliminated from anything at this point," James said. "We have to cling to that hope until it's gone."
Boltus is likely to make his third career AFL start. His thrust into the starting quarterback position has been a mixed bag. He's 1-1 and has shown flashes of ability to run the ball, but has struggled with turnovers.
But the new quarterback is ready to lead the team to a home win that could hold more weight in the long term following the turmoil of the last week.
"Everybody that's here is meant to be here and everybody can make plays," Boltus said. "Basically, we're young and we're trying to get experience and see things before they happen."

"An older individual with a hip fracture needs immediate surgery," explains Gerald Hayken, MD, orthopaedic surgeon and co-medical director of the Fracture Care Center at Virtua Memorial, one of the country's few fracture centers. "These individuals often have co-morbidities and decondition faster than younger people while in the hospital."
National statistics paint a bleak picture: 35 percent of elderly patients die within the first year after their hip fracture; 25 percent require permanent long-term care placement; and 60 percent need an assistive device for the rest of their lives.
"Reducing morbidity and mortality associated with elderly fragility fractures is Virtua's mission," says Fracture Care Center co-medical director, Greg Busch, DO. "Our approach is interdisciplinary with all patients managed by a team of specially certified nurses, an orthopaedic surgeon, geriatrician, physical therapist, case manager and a social worker."
"For example, the literature shows improved outcomes for patients operated on within 24 hours after their ED arrival; we've built that into the program," says Dr. Hayken. "We also have created specialized order sets to counteract common in-hospital problems such as delirium and bed sores."
Dr. Busch: "We start thinking about a healthy discharge on day zero – based on a constructive evidence-based plan to keep patients on the right track throughout their stay."
