It's easy to look askance at the hordes of Barbie dolls and Beanie Babies overrunning other people's houses, so the wave of horror that greeted "Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century," a recent anthropological study of 32 middle-class American families and their obscene quantities of stuff, was predictable. Published in coffee-table book form and illustrated with gorgeous pictures of freezers packed with prefab food and avalanches of clothes and swaying towers of molded plastic in bright primary colors, the book elicits sympathetic revulsion.
"Look at how these people live," you say to yourself as you leaf through the pages, perhaps realizing that, if the study's photographer set up at just the right angle in your home, he could find scenes comparable to those in the book. You can distance yourself from this response by reminding yourself that the participating families all lived in one region, Southern California; that things would look different if the sample were more diverse; that 32 isn't a statistically significant number of households. All true, but the deeper truth of the book still comes through: Americans have too much stuff, and it clutters up not only their homes but their lives, their time, their consciousness.

Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling are two of the best and most respected editors in the business. They donÆt just sit at desks, painstakingly reviewing manuscripts for flaws or areas in need of improvement, although thatÆs an important part of their job. Their love of storytelling and keen sense of what readers want led them to create anthologies ¢ collections of short stories ¢ by some of the most renowned authors we readers have come to enjoy: Stephen King, Peter Straub, Susanna Clark and Angela Carter, to name a few. Datlow and WindlingÆs collaborations have amassed a treasure trove of awards, not limited to multiple Bram Stoker Awards, World Fantasy Awards, International Horror Guild Awards, Hugo Awards ģ the list goes on and on.
On the surface, these women couldnÆt be more different. Ellen Datlow lives in a large U.S. city - Terri Windling lives in a small village in the U.K. Datlow enjoys science fiction and horror ¢ Windling, fantasy and mythic fiction. Datlow adores cats and collects dolls and doll parts ¢ Windling adores dogs and is a dedicated artist. Yet, their opposites have melded in order to create some of the finest and most enduring fantasy and horror anthologies in the marketplace today.
ōSnow White, Blood Red,ö the first of their six volumes of fairy tale retellings, was at the forefront of the modern revival of adult fairy tale literature. Datlow and Windling co-edited the ground-breaking ōYearÆs Best Fantasy & Horrorö volumes for 16 years. ōThe Green Man: Tales of the Mythic Forestö is the editorsÆ exploration of forest myth and symbolism, and suggested reading for teens and adult alike. There are no boundaries to Datlow and WindlingÆs creative endeavors.
Now, ōAfter: Nineteen Stories of Apocalypse and Dystopiaö is being released by Hyperion on Oct. 9. From Amazon.com: ōIf the melt-down, flood, plague, the third World War, new Ice Age, Rapture, alien invasion, clamp-down, meteor, or something else entirely hit today, what would tomorrow look like? Some of the biggest names in YA and adult literature answer that very question in this short story anthology, each story exploring the lives of teen protagonists raised in catastropheÆs wake Ś whether set in the days after the change, or decades far in the future.ö
There are some people who believe anthologies arenÆt as popular as they once were. Read one edited by Datlow and Windling and you will find out just how wrong ōsome peopleö can be.
Q. The obvious question: What caused the two of you to work together initially, and what defining moment said this was a good idea that needed to continue?
A. Jim Frenkel created the ōYearÆs Best Fantasy & Horrorö series and he hired the two of us to edit it -- with Ellen handling the horror half of each volume and Terri, the fantasy half. Both of us were living in New York back then, and we knew each other socially through publishing circles, but weÆd never worked together before. We liked the experience so much that we then paired up to create the ōSnow White, Blood Redö series ... and 25 years later weÆre still editorial partners, and good friends.
Page 2 of 3 - We find that the strength we have as a team is that we both love fantastic literature, but we come at it from opposite directions: Ellen from the dark fantasy and horror end of the spectrum, Terri from the high fantasy and mythic fiction end, with our tastes overlapping somewhere in the middle. This gives the books that we edit together a broader range and diversity.
Q. Keeping a finger on the pulse of readers is a tricky business these days. What barometer do you use to best guess the direction of readersÆ interests?
A. We both read widely and stay abreast of whatÆs going on in the publishing industry. And sometimes our literary agent, whose finger is very much on the pulse of the industry, recommends a theme to us. Our last two anthologies, ōTeethö and ōAfter,ö were based on themes she suggested.
Q. You work together, and separately. What defines when you will work together?
A. Basically we work together on books that we think will benefit from our diversity of tastes. For science fiction, or pure horror, Ellen tends to work solo -- while Terri generally works solo on projects that focus more on the purely fantastic end of the spectrum.
Both ōTeethö (our YA vampire anthology) and ōAfterö (our YA dystopian anthology) are unusual books for us because their themes fall more naturally into EllenÆs camp than TerriÆs. But because these themes are so commercially popular, and thus a bit over-familiar to readers, our aim was to do something fresh and original with the topics. We felt we could do this best together, drawing on our different but complimentary editorial backgrounds.
Q. How has the onset of e-books altered what you do?
A. Like most of the publishing industry, weÆre still figuring this out! The most immediate effect is a positive one: weÆre able to make a number of our older, out-of-print anthologies available again in e-book form, which gives them new life.
Q. Any parting comments for your readers and those yet to become familiar with your work?
A. We create anthologies out of love for the form, and writers write short stories out of love for the form -- nobody makes a lot of money this way, we all do it out of passion and conviction. We create anthologies because we believe in short stories, and we want to find ways to get them into readersÆ hands. Our ultimate aim is to keep the market for fantastic short fiction alive and thriving -- and every reader who buys anthologies, or recommends them, or reviews them, is helping to keep it alive too. And this in turn supports the creative evolution of writers both new and established.
ōShort fiction seems more targeted [than novels],ö says Paolo Bacigalupi (who writes both), ōhand grenades of ideas, if you will. When they work, they hit, they explode, and you never forget them.ö

Case Studies and Feedback
A selection of GradClub member case studies demonstrating how they secured success after leaving UCL along with feedback on the service from both users and employers.
There follows a number of job-hunting case studies kindly supplied by recent UCL GradClubbers drawn from different levels of study and subject areas. The short testimonies detail how recent UCL graduates engaged with the world of work, the job hunting techniques they utilised and the support they engaged with.
You might find useful information and advice from any of the following as a way of gaining inspiration and understanding more about what might be relevant to apply to your own job search.
A selection of feedback about the 1 to 1 coaching, workshops and events on offer from recent users of the service.
"GradClub helped me in obtaining my graduate position in investment banking. Firstly, the graduate literature available allowed me to research fully the positions and roles within investment banking. I also attended the UCL graduate scheme 3-day summer school event in September, which gave me an insight into the schemes and allowed me to network with recently recruited graduates in fields such as banking and accounting. Finally, once I had a few assessment centre invites, I attended a skills workshop assessment centre (sponsored by Teach First) and a 1 to 1 mock interview with a careers adviser. I believe that if I had not made use of the GradClub initiatives I would not have been made the offers that I had within the first 6 months of graduating."
"The CV coaching and application form brainstorming helped me immensely in cleaning up, focusing and being able to angle my CV to different jobs, including the year long semi-paid internship I got at a charity (sourced through the UCL JobOnline system). My current job also started out as a part-time job that I got through The Careers Group, and using a CV completed with feedback from a GradClub coach. The simple fact of having a really professional, up-to-date and enthusiastic careers service means so much for an undergraduate and a graduate in these times."
''The careers coaching was very focused, energetic and helped clarified a lot of things. It's sometimes hard to see all the issues when you're in the middle of it all! I received specific help on application form questions - how to angle them etc. I also also received great tools (handouts) with relevant vocabulary etc I could use in the future. The 1-1 CV coaching was also useful: the coach was very clear, to the point, and made me understand the fundamental issues with my then current CV, and gave me great tools I could apply in the future.''
"I found the careers workshops particularly useful. I'd even go so far as to say they were invaluable in a) getting fast tracked to a number of assessment centres and then b) securing my current grad job as a marketeer. Having attended the 3-day graduate scheme summer schools and workshops I felt better prepared to approach employers and also prepared for assessment centres which can be really daunting."
"I had a very thorough and informative consultation with one of the advisers. My adviser made sure that I had a good understanding about the UK job market, my strengths and weaknesses, and how I can achieve the best out of the consultation. He also provided me detailed feedback on my CV which we discussed during the consultation, and a list of websites/organisations I should be looking at. The whole service was tailored to my personal needs, which I found was difficult to achieve otherwise (eg. by reading job-seekers' manuals)."
"I really like the fact that with a Gradclub 1 to 1 you can arrange to see the same careers coach. It allows you to build a rapport with the Gradclub coach and makes the experience more personal."
"The 1 to 1 Careers coaching was great, as I could get advice on my specific questions/ it's personalised to everyone's needs. I personally had questions regarding getting into top companies with a 2.2 degree, a topic on which there is not much information available otherwise."
"The coaches take time to understand cases properly and then recommend solutions as well as specific sources to refer to in the Careers Service which is of immense help. It helps to give you an idea of the requirements employers are looking for in a particular field. You can then create tailored Cvs for every job you are applying. I took help from UCL Careers Service and managed to pass the first hurdle from my very first job application. The GradClub workshops are diverse and useful and they really offer you the opportunity to understand the graduate job market and also network with top employers from various backgrounds."
"I went to the GradClub 3-day Summer School in September mostly out of a sense of fear about my own impending joblessness. Within 10 minutes I knew I had come to the right place to get practical advice and general reassurance. It was really helpful to chat to people who were on graduate schemes and to get their advice. The Summer School gave me answers to questions I wouldn't have thought to ask. It was as useful for making me think of new ways to impress employers as it was for giving me advice on the traditional approaches. More than anything I felt reassured that although the job market is tough at the moment, there are still plenty of spaces for UCL graduates, especially if they have had a bit help from the careers service."
"I learned how to create a CV that would better showcase my skills and experience and capture employers' attention, as well as how to formulate and write cutting edge applications. I also now know how to excel and feel at ease in hostile interview and assessment centre situations and now understand the rules of what I like to call 'networking etiquette' which I finally feel relaxed about and confident to do. My advice to any sceptical graduates would be to try a few careers events and then make an informed judgment for yourselves. The results I have so far received from road testing my recently gained networking skills may help you to decide. I recently landed myself two face-to-face, informal interview meetings with influential managers in major companies, who have shown a keen interest in progressing my application after seeing my newly reconstructed, far more impactful and impressive CV."
"What I personally found valuable was the chance to talk through the 'code of conduct' at careers fairs: I was given useful tips for networking with prospective employers and colleagues which may significantly enhance our chances of getting that elusive graduate job. I would definitely recommend talking to the UCL Careers Service. It offers ideas and inspiration for current students and graduates like you and me, and teaches some useful techniques, 'rules of the game' which can be creatively applied in the rigorous graduate selection process."
A selection of participating employers give their feedback on the
GradClub 3-day Graduate Scheme summer school event held annually in
"This event and the overall support UCL are giving to recent graduates/current students is very beneficial and provides them with a head start before the market goes live. The advice and expertise given by UCL staff was very relevant and covered the main aspects of graduate recruitment. The additional feature of a panel of graduates who have been there, done it and are now employed on graduate schemes was key as it is something UCL students can relate to and the opportunity to then have a chat over lunch with them plus HR staff was invaluable."
Mohit Malik, Graduate Consultant from Transport for London
"Running a summer graduate school for UCL students is a brilliant idea. This is an opportunity for them to learn more about how graduate programs work and for us to meet them and tell them what we are looking for. We will definitely be part of it again next year and we strongly encourage students to take part in those kinds of event as it will help them to improve the quality of their application."
My Anh Nguyen, Procter and Gamble
"The summer event was well organised and it was great to meet such enthusiastic students and to be able to provide them with an insight into the opportunities at Grant Thornton. The students were asking informed and knowledgeable questions specific to an accountancy career. It was a good opportunity to meet at UCL which is local to the Euston office and build relationships with the students. The summer school event is really focused on building knowledge and skills to aid the students."
Richard Herbert, Audit Trainee at Grant Thornton

Re:Why does MADD not support Uber? (507 comments)
I suspect it would be much more then 15%: Speak to any cabbie, they make the vast amount of their money on Friday/Saturday night, but work the rest of the week because the licence owner requires that. If random joe with a car that he uses for other purposes decides to make some extra money on the weekend, I suspect he will be able to charge much less.

Leftover Lox-- help me use them up
- roxhills Mar 26, 2007 08:02 AM
I probably have 3/4 pound of leftover lox from a brunch I hosted yesterday. They were good but I am not sure how long they will last. I want to figure out what I can do with them-- any suggestions would be great! We are over lox/bagels but are going to have lox/eggs/onions for breakfast today...
As Valerie says, freeze. Wrap in bagel portions in plastic wrap. Should take long to defrost and then a great weekend b'fast.
Make eggs benedict and use the lox instead of canadian bacon. Layering a bit of blanched spinach under the lox is nice too...a florentine-salmon-benedict.
I also like to chop lox and top a baked potato with it and sour cream. If you're feeling really decadent, top with a little caviar, too.
Last idea -- have some friends over and make this fabulous recipe for smoked salmon mousse which uses 1/2# of lox:
Smoked Salmon Mousse
8 oz. thinly sliced smoked salmon (lox)
2t unflavored gelatin (from 1 pkg.)
1/2C cold water
15 oz. red salmon, drained (reserve 1/4C liquid), dark skin removed
1/2C sour cream (can use light)
1/2C mayonnaise (can use light)
3T lemon juice
3T chopped red onion
1/2t Tabasco or to taste
1 long carrot, optional garnish
1 long cucumber, optional garnish
Lightly coat 8" or 9" round cake pan with PAM. Line with plastic, letting wrap extend over sides. Keep plastic as smooth as possible in pan. Place half of the lox over bottom of pan, pressing slices thinner to cover bottom.
Sprinkle gelatin over water in small saucepan. Let stand 1 minute. Stir over low heat until dissolved and liquid is clear, 2-3 minutes. In food processor, blend remaining lix with remaining ingredients (except gelatin mixture, carrot and cuke) until smooth. Add gelatin mixture and process until blended. Pour over salmon in pan; cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Invert a serving plate over pan. Remove pan and plastic. Smooth any rough edges with side of knife.
With vegetable peeler, peel thin strands from carrot and cucumber. Garnish top of mousse with veggie strands if desired.
Serve with crostini, crackers, baguette, cucumber slices
Lox quiche is great, and makes an easy lunchbox item or quick weeknight supper.
Another favorite lunchbox of mine is inspired by Japanese bento of rice topped with salmon, egg sprinkle and spinach or peas. I substitute a topping of shredded lox, along with green peas, and egg (beat with a pinch of sugar and a tiny dash of mirin and salt, and scramble until relatively dry and in little pieces)
Slice it in short narrow strips and use it to top a potato soup, maybe with a dollop of sour cream mixed with wasabi powder. Wasabi sour cream, mmmm.
You could probably do this with a baked potato too.

Tertis and Primrose are like a Heldentenor compared with a mezzo-soprano
Chausson Poème
David Oistrakh, USSR State Symphony Orchestra/Kirill Kondrashin
This 1948 recording, released in the mid-1990s, captures the essence of Oistrakh's playing: the perfection, soulfulness and beauty of his sound. There's honesty and emotion there, but no self-indulgence. He doesn't display his own personality here, but uses it to bring out the composer's own thoughts.
Mozart Complete String Quintets
William Primrose, Griller Quartet
I studied quartets with Sidney Griller, so this recording took on a new meaning for me. Griller said there was some tension between Primrose and himself, and one can sense the competitiveness between them – some movements are a little faster than the composer intended! It's not a seamless product, as so many recordings are, but one can feel the players' spirit.
Brahms (transc. Tertis) Minnelied op.71 no.5
Lionel Tertis (viola), unknown pianist
I only became aware of Tertis aged 19, when I switched from the violin to viola. He had a completely different voice from Primrose – like a Heldentenor compared with a mezzo-soprano – and it immediately blew me away. His playing of Romantic repertoire, such as this Brahms transcription, demonstrated his vocal quality, his ability to spin a line, and the sheer power of his playing. I ended up playing a large viola, as Tertis did.
Schubert 'Arpeggione' Sonata
Mstislav Rostropovich, Benjamin Britten
When I first heard this, I thought it was either the most incredible or the most self-indulgent performance I'd heard. Now I think I've settled on the former. Both of them play extremely freely but they respond to one another effortlessly. They hold the listener in exquisite suspense in Schubert's little shifts of tonality before releasing the music to flow on as if nothing has happened. Many cellists play the sonata as though it's a virtuoso piece, which spoils the lightness that is captured so well here.
Erroll Garner (piano)
I love listening to jazz for relaxation, and I particularly like Erroll Garner. His crazy, quirky, almost atonal introductions that dissolve into pure swing are captivating, as they combine wit with sheer virtuosity. Solitaire contains none of his most famous numbers but the playing throughout is extraordinary.

4 Tips to Keep in Mind Senior Year: Transitioning from your Small Pond to a Big One
Seniors, you might picture yourself as a big fish on campus. Most of you have spent the last three years in the same setting, experiencing the hustle and bustle during both the exciting months when a new semester begins, and the grueling weeks of research papers, labs, and final exams. (I would not be surprised if you know exactly how many minutes it takes you to walk to the library from your dorm.)
Given this well-worn collegiate feeling, it is quite tempting to fall into a know-it all approach your senior year. While the goal after graduating high school was more about exploration and discovery, the goal after graduating college is professionally putting passion into practice.
So before making your splash in new territory, I have outlined four areas I have personally found indispensable for the journey ahead:
1. Choose your Send-off Wisely
Now that you are a senior, the full weight of your accomplishments amount to a degree and transcript upon your graduation. They cannot possibly detail who you are as a person, but it is truly telling of how you invested your time. Those two-three letter acronyms BA, BS, BBA, and three-digit number for your GPA will account for you in your last year and many years afterwards. They can open educational and professional doors or vice versa.
The proof is in the pudding, so make sure to invest in the right ingredients.
2. Strategically Plan your Destination
Taking time to reflect and research where graduates from your institution and academic background have ended up is essential to predict the success of your own trajectory. Visit your institution's career office early and establishing a visible hand-on approach to your job search. Taking yourself seriously means others are more than likely to as well.
More than this, you will not be taken for any surprises if you know early on the kinds of positions and recruiters your campus is known to attract. For those seeking graduate school and beyond, professors, alumni, and graduate students are an invaluable resource. A good portion of those that comprise these groups have either taken this pathway or chosen a different route for various reasons and most definitely can shed light on the application process and likely outcome. They may even be able to aid you by writing a letter on your behalf or putting in a good word for you.
3. Strengthen Contacts and Connections
Soon you will have the honor of alumni status from your educational institution. Future Nobel Laureates, celebrities, and national and international leaders have all at one point called your campus home. As a graduate of the same institution, your pathway is instilled with a great deal of promise as you remove your cap and gown following commencement and put on whatever new hat you choose to wear.
Don't lose contact with the change-makers and visionaries you had the privilege to meet as an undergraduate. Think of reasons to re-connect with your classmates down the road as you progress. If fate placed you on the same campus once, who knows if you are destined to see some of these familiar faces again? Try and be open to these exchanges, as you mutually carry the memories of college years.
4. Leave Room for Changes to the Plan
Many of us have a checklist of places to see and things to do before graduation. Some of the to-do list we put off for our last year is biting at our heels waiting to be realized. Whether you are that person with a mental pen and paper, taking note of the benchmarks, or just getting through your last year step by step, I encourage you not to get too fussy about the details and focus on the big picture of your education.
Avoid situations that might backtrack you from reaching your main goals. Inevitably, there are those not on such a bright track as you, having squandered their four years for other priorities. Do not be discouraged or misled by these individuals.
As small pond memories are almost at its end, brace yourself for the waves to come, prepare well, and let your dreams empower you.

Obama Care lies
We have heard at least 44 times, "If you want to keep your insurance, you can keep it. Period! If you want to keep your doctors, you can keep them. Period!" Obama knew that was a lie as far back as 2010. If that was known to be a lie then the Obamacare bill would never have been passed by the Democrats in Congress.

An American queen was on hand to rechristen another American Queen as Priscilla Presely helped bring the largest steamboat ever built back into service.
Acting as godmother to The American Queen, the wife of the late Elvis Presley was on hand to swing the champagne bottle at a Memphis ceremony on Friday.
The 436-passenger vessel was originally built for the Delta Queen Steamboat Company in 1995. The boat changed hands over the years, but had not been running the Mississippi since 2008. It's now been brought back for river cruising by The Great American Steamboat Company.
"Today is an unprecedented example of a company and community coming together in a short amount of time to achieve a truly American dream," said company CEO Jeffrey D. Krida. "A global audience is watching Memphis today and I look forward to the world discovering the heartland of the United States once again on our grand and gracious American Queen."
The steamboat's homeport is Memphis, and will offer 3- to 10-night cruises on the upper and lower Mississippi as well as the Ohio and Tennessee rivers with stops at cities including New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, St. Paul, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
After the christening, the American Queen departed on its inaugural voyage up the Mississippi River to the Ohio River eventually making its way to Cincinnati, the long-time home of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company. On May 2 in Louisville, the vessel will compete in the Great Steamboat Race with the Belle of Louisville and Belle of Cincinnati as part of the Kentucky Derby weekend festivities.
"The naming ceremony for any vessel is a turning point." Company President Christopher Kyte wrote on his blog. "It's the point at which she is turned out into the world to make her way. Even though the American Queen has a couple of voyages under her belt and, of course, a previous history dating back to 1995, today is still just as important as if she were hearing her name for the first time. Today is the day that the American Queen became a full and complete part of Memphis and of the Great American Steamboat Company."

President's Column
Dear all ITF family members,
Greeting New Year 2014, I would like to wish all of you, in the name of myself as President of International Taekwon-Do Federation, a Happy New Year hoping only joy and happiness dwell in your family life and every success materializes in all your expectations as tomorrow is today's dream.
ITF Taekwon Do activity in Tianjin, China, Oct.2010
10th Dec 2010 11:11
ITF Taekwon-Do had been introduced and started from one middle school in Tianjin in 2002 but today it boasts the increasing number of its students and ITF Taekwon-Do Dojangs. ITF Taekwon-Do takes its place even in Military Academy of People's Liberation Army of China and Aviation College.
As a result of its increasing activities, in the recent years Tianjin could afford to host two rounds of National ITF Taekwon-Do Championships (3rd and 4th National Championships) amid enthusiasm of ITF Taekwon-Do practitioners and its favorites. This excellent result can not imagine without the active role of Korean Senior Master Om Song Il who had started his activity in Tianjin 5 years back.

Writing about Steve Ballmer and Steve Jobs always seems to get a rise out of my readers. Case in point: three letters I've received lately, two of which basically telling me I'm too stupid (and/or cheap) to live. Here are some choice excerpts.
In a recent column, I ragged on Steve Ballmer as the true cause of Microsoft's current ills. Cringester C. H. responded by offering a 12-step plan for Microsoft's comeback, most of which involves dramatically increasing its stake in Facebook. To wit:
Bring Zuckerberg in as the Chief Technology Architect. Make him an offer he can't refuse. Position FB as the next social network, web 3.0, "OS" powered by Windows. Announce Zuckerberg as CEO. Integrate Facebook with Office Live with Windows Phone with Xbox Live, Bing search, etc...
[ Want to cash in on your IT experiences? InfoWorld is looking for stories of an amazing or amusing IT adventure, lesson learned, or war tale from the trenches. Send your story to email@example.com. If we publish it, we'll keep you anonymous and send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
I gotta say, if there's anyone who can match Ballmer for sheer perspiration, it's Zuckerberg. Not sure about the rest, though. He really doesn't look strong enough to hurl a chair. I think that's part of Ballmer's job description.
In "Microsoft is dead, long live GoogApple," I went on an extended rant about my hellish experience trying to get a Windows Vista machine to let me delete a backup folder and how that example epitomizes everything about what's wrong with Microsoft.
Reader D. T. takes me to task for, essentially, not buying my laptop though a VAR who could have given me the support I needed to help me through that nightmare. (Need I add that, judging by his email sig, he appears to own such an enterprise?) Here's just a snippet from a rather long email he sent me:
Mr. Cringely you need to take a long look at yourself, your purchasing habits and expectations..... There really is a "channel" and there are a lot of people involved in making your notebook work, or as you pointed out not-work. ...
Perhaps you should have established a personal relationship with a vendor that actually likes to deal with people using technology products. Perhaps you even know such a vendor you could personally visit face-to face. Of course, personal attention is worth something. Yes, people other than you need to pay their bills. Why else would all these people charge for service?

Short term Rome apartments: why choose an apartment for vacation
There is a valid alternative to a hotel or a Bed and Breakfast in the centre of Rome?
The last tourism frontier in Rome are Apartments for vacation rentals, short lets or also known as holiday apartments... its an economic, friendly and enjoyable way to organize a "special" week-end in Rome.
Why choose an apartment for holidays rather than a hotel or bed &reakfast?
PRIVACY: No breakfast lounges, reception or lobbies. Its like being at home.
COMFORT: apartments are bigger and fully accessorized!
SAVING and LUXURY: If you are more than 2 people the price is unmatchable and if you are looking for a luxury suite at an unbeatable price no hotel room will ever be as confortable as a luxury apartment!
INDEPENDENCE: If you like having guests or shopping local groceries and cooking you will have a furnished apartment with a fully equipped kitchen with all you need to organize breakfast, lunch and dinner.. italian style.

Undergraduate Majors
Medical Technology
Bachelor of Science Degree
Medical Technology offers exciting educational and career opportunities for students wishing to combine an interest in the sciences with laboratory medicine. As vital members of the health care team, medical technologists perform diagnostic laboratory tests used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.
Technologist have diverse career opportunities in hospital, university, government, and industrial laboratories. They represent the upper division of medical laboratory personnel and can pursue challenging positions in laboratory administration, specialized research, technical services, marketing, or education. Graduates are qualified to enter graduate programs leading to master's and doctoral degrees. Medical technology is a very good choice of undergraduate major for those interested in professional school because it provides an excellent foundation in diagnostic medicine.
The practice of modern medicine would not be possible without the tests performed in clinical laboratories. Medical technologists perform and supervise tests on blood, tissue, and body fluids, using precision instruments such as microscopes and automated, computerized analyzers. They also establish and monitor quality control programs, which ensure the precision and accuracy of both the instruments and the laboratory staff. They are able to recognize interdependency of tests and have knowledge of physiological conditions affecting test results. These skills are necessary in order to provide correct data which is used by the physician in determining the presence, extent, and as far as possible, the cause of disease. The medical technologist is also knowledgeable in all areas of the laboratory and are able to perform all routine and specialized procedures, as well as assuming supervisory and teaching positions.
Classroom learning is reinforced in most courses through practical laboratory experiences. A new Molecular Science Research Lab and Animal Research Facility allows use of molecular techniques in courses and new courses in biotechnology.
Before admission to the medical technology training program at Central's affiliated hospitals, a student must first earn a minimum of 94 semester hours of college credit. After a satisfactory completion of the training program, students are awarded a degree and are eligible and expected to take the national certification examination.

"My husband and I chose this announcement for our baby because we missed the boat on sending a "holiday" announcement, but with an early December baby, wanted the card to have a wintry theme. This card was not only beautiful and snowy to us, but got LOTS of compliments from our friends and family. I would happily use tinyprints again!"
"I was very happy with the quality of the product, i got what i paid for! The only disappointment was it wasn't delivered within the estimated delivery date!"
"This card was perfect! I loved the colors and they were true to that on my computer screen. Opting for the rounded edges really made the card complete. Family & friends said the card was gorgeous & adorable."
"I love these announcements because they are not like every other announcement I see. The matte finish makes it look like a higher quality (rather than glossy finish). I personally used the coffee color rather than the pink which made the pink in the heart (date) pop more.

An anonymous donor gave $10 million late last year to run ads attacking President Obama and Democratic policies, escalating the money race that is defining the 2012 presidential campaign. And in the new, free-wheeling environment of independent political giving, the identity of this donor, like many others, is likely to remain a permanent mystery.
The donation went to Crossroads GPS, the conservative nonprofit group founded with the support of political strategist Karl Rove. Another donor gave $10 million in the 2010 midterm elections, according to draft tax returns that provide the first detailed look at its finances.

By Caitlin Nish
NEW YORK--An arbitration panel has ordered Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. to pay $30 million to US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) for losses in auction-rate securities.
The case stems from US Airways' claim in 2009 that Oppenheimer and a former broker misrepresented certain structured, private placement auction-rate securities, according to the ruling from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority arbitration panel.
Auction-rate securities are debt instruments whose interest rates are meant to be reset at daily, weekly or monthly auctions. Several auctions failed in early 2008, leaving investors locked into a product that some firms had promoted as safe and liquid.
Oppenheimer in 2010 reached settlements with Massachusetts and New York regulators investigating the company's marketing and sale of auction-rate securities.
US Airways had asked the arbitration panel for roughly $110 million in compensatory damages as well as $26 million in interest, and attorneys' fees. The panel found Oppenheimer and former broker Vincent Woo liable for $30 million in compensatory damages, with Mr. Woo's portion not to exceed the amount of certain commissions he made.
As is customary, the panel didn't explain the reasoning for its decision, which was dated Thursday.
US Airways declined to immediately comment.
Oppenheimer said in its fourth-quarter earnings report Friday that it is "extremely disappointed" with the decision and is considering whether to file a motion to vacate the order.
It also said it will "pursue its previously filed arbitration against Deutsche Bank covering many of the issues in this case in an effort to recover the amount of the award plus all associated costs of the case."
That claim was originally tied to the US Airways case but was severed in 2010 and is now proceeding separately. Oppenheimer argued that it relied on representations made by Deutsche Bank, as well as on "AAA" ratings given by Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor's Rating Services, and the integrity of the Dutch auction process, according to arbitration panel documents.
It requested an order declaring that to the extent any misrepresentations were made, they were done so by Deutsche Bank, not Oppenheimer, and that Deutsche Bank be held liable for any amount awarded against the firm.

Dutch boost audits of prostitutes
Crackdown aimed at making sure sex workers are paying their taxes, including required 19% sales tax on services.
This article is by Toby Sterling of The Associated Press.
Workers in the world's oldest profession are about to get a lesson in the harsh reality of Europe's new age of austerity.
The Dutch government has warned prostitutes who advertise their wares in the famed windows of Amsterdam's red light district to expect a business-only visit from the taxman.
Prostitution has flourished in Amsterdam since the 1600s, when the Netherlands was a major naval power and sailors swaggered into the port looking for a good time. The country legalized the practice a decade ago, but authorities are only now getting around to looking to sex workers for taxes.
"We began at the larger places, the brothels, so now we're moving on to the window landlords and the ladies," said Janneke Verheggen, spokeswoman for the country's Tax Service.
The move is meeting with little formal opposition, even among prostitutes -- though some are skeptical it can be enforced. But it marks yet another shift away from the permissive attitudes that once prevailed in the Netherlands.
"It's a good thing that they're doing this," said Samantha, a statuesque blond Dutchwoman in a white leather dress who offers her services from behind one of the hundreds of red-curtained windows in the heart of the city's ancient center.
"It's a job like any other and we should pay taxes," she said.
She said she has been paying her share for years and felt she was competing on unequal terms with women who didn't, many of them immigrants from Eastern Europe.
Although the Netherlands has weathered the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis better than many countries, the government ran a deficit of 6% in 2010 and is cutting spending and hiking taxes in hopes of balancing the budget by 2015.
Prostitutes were told they would be audited in typically bureaucratic fashion, with a notice addressed "to landlords and window prostitutes in Amsterdam" published last week in the city's main newspaper.
"Agents of the Tax Service will walk through various elements of your business administration with you, such as prices, staffing, agendas and calendars," the notice said. "The facts will be used at a later date in reviewing your returns."
Though the Dutch state is not going to fill its coffers just by squeezing prostitutes, the sex trade is a serious industry that went almost entirely untaxed until legalization.
The Central Bureau of Statistics estimates prostitution generates $865 million in annual turnover, or a little less than $65 per person in a country of 16 million -- though many customers are tourists.
Under Dutch law, prostitutes should be charging 19% sales tax on each transaction. Customers typically pay $65 for a 15-minute session. In addition, after-expense profits are personal income, taxed at anywhere from 33% for someone making less than $23,000 per year to 52% for people making more than $70,000.
Sex workers, who are almost all women, can fall beyond both ends of that range.
Nobody knows exactly how many prostitutes there are or how many of them pay taxes, since legal ones are registered as one-women businesses, not brothels. But an Amsterdam-chartered study in October estimated there are slightly fewer than 8,000 prostitutes of all kinds in the city, and 3,000 working behind windows. An industry think tank called the SOR Institute believes around 40% of window prostitutes already pay some income tax.
Metje Blaak, who heads a prostitute's labor union called The Red Thread, said she endorses taxation, though it will hurt businesswomen already struggling to pay rent.
"It's not that they're trying to terrorize us," she said. "They do everything under the guise of preventing human trafficking, but the real reason is simply a desire to keep things under control."
In 2008 the city of Amsterdam began shuttering a third of its brothels, saying it wanted to combat organized crime, reduce abuse of prostitutes and improve the city's image.
Experts are divided as to how many prostitutes are exploited by pimps, but they agree most of the women behind windows are now working legally: Their passports are checked daily by landlords who don't want to risk losing their increasingly scarce and valuable operating licenses.
But Samantha said the industry by its nature can never be problem-free -- or fully taxed.
"How can they tell how many people come inside each day or how much money changes hands once the curtain is drawn?" she said.
"Not many customers ask for a receipt."

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2011 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid — Flash Drive
This 2011 review is representative of model years 2010 to 2014.
By Staff of MSN Autos
At first glance, the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid seems like a bad idea. The extra batteries add a lot of weight and will inevitably raise ownership costs, yet the Prius offers only 13 miles of all-electric operation. The extra batteries also take up a bunch of space in the trunk. The trunk floor is raised so much higher on the plug-in Prius that a single suitcase will extend above the retractable screen over the hatchback cargo area. But if urban charging stations continue to proliferate the plug-in Prius may become perfect for commuting or shopping. It charges very quickly, so a trip to the mall could provide enough time to refresh the batteries and drive 13 miles home on all-electric power. If electric cars become popular enough so that charging stations become commonplace, the plug-in Prius may be a very smart offering from Toyota. But that is a big if. – Paul Hagger
The Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid is an interesting variation on the top-selling hybrid, with the added twist that it can be plugged in to charge the battery, and when the battery is fully charged it will run in electric-only mode. With a full charge I was able to go about 12 miles before it kicked over to standard hybrid mode. I didn't have quite enough time to determine if this car would really be an advantage over a standard Prius because I typically drive 30 to 45 miles per day. I can see its benefit for a driver who travels around 12 miles per day because most of the driving would be under electric power. The disadvantage is that once the Prius plug-in switches to the gasoline-electric hybrid mode, the fuel economy is less than a standard Prius due to the added battery weight. In electric mode the plug-in doesn't feel as peppy as other electric cars I have driven, again probably because of the added weight. Under hybrid power I found myself switching to power mode to improve drivability, which also reduces efficiency. – Mike Meredith
The Prius plug-in hybrid is a great idea for a specific driving scenario, but otherwise its value is questionable. A full charge is obtained in just 90 minutes on a 220-volt charge, and that gets you about 14 miles of electric-only driving. I live 13 miles from work, so I was able to travel to and from work on electric-only for the most part, and there was no range anxiety, as the plug-in turns into your basic Prius hybrid once the battery is depleted. But there's no performance to speak of in electric-only mode, and getting up to freeway speed is a lengthy process. If you accelerate at full throttle, the gas engine will start to help out with the car's power needs, and at speeds above 60 mph, the engine stays on, again, like a regular Prius hybrid. It's expected that in hybrid mode the plug-in will not match a regular Prius' fuel economy, because there are several hundred pounds of extra batteries in this version. So unless you have a short drive between available charging stations, and getting from point A to point B as economically as possible is the primary requirement of your vehicle, the Prius plug-in may not be the right car for you. – Perry Stern

Key Insights On Treating Burn Wounds In The Lower Extremity
- Volume 19 - Issue 7 - July 2006
- 17389 reads
- 0 comments
A: As Dr. Mulder emphasizes, he refers most of his patients, especially those with full-thickness burns, to a burn unit. However, when treating more superficial burns, he bases the choice of topical wound product on the wound depth, its appearance and the underlying medical status of the patient. His treatments of choice include Collagenase, silver sulfadiazene and Xeroform.
As for Dr. Wu's choice of topical wound products, she utilizes Silvadene, a triple antibiotic ointment and mafenide cream (Sulfamylon, Mylan Laboratories). She notes she has also used other silver-containing topical preparations and dressings including Acticoat, which permits fewer dressing changes.
Q: Is there any role for bioengineered skin substitutes?
A: Although bioengineered tissue has a role in treating burn wounds, Dr. Mulder says that role is usually more limited in the burn patient versus the chronic wound patient. He says one would usually debride full-thickness burns in the operating room. After achieving a healthy wound bed, Dr. Mulder says grafting is a standard procedure. Depending on the depth of the wound, he says clinicians may use additional products to assist with adequate granulation of the wound bed before placing a split-thickness skin graft. Trans-Cyte (Advanced BioHealing) and Integra (Integra Life Sciences) are helpful for this purpose, according to Dr. Mulder.
When treating full-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns, Dr. Wu notes that autologous skin grafting is the gold standard. However, she adds that practitioners may alternatively use bioengineered skin substitutes with good results. As Dr. Wu points out, research has shown bioengineered skin substitutes help heal partial-thickness wounds faster than topical preparations.
Q: What role do oral antibiotics play in the management of burns? Is there any prophylactic role? What are the most common pathogens?
A: With the exception of expansive burns, Dr. Wu says prophylactic antibiotics are rarely necessary. Dr. Mulder concurs, noting that prophylaxis is not a common practice for burn wounds at his facility. Dr. Wu says regular wound care with topical antibiotics has been shown to be effective in reducing wound sepsis.
Although Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the predominant burn wound pathogen, Dr. Wu says some patients may also develop fungal infections. She notes that previous studies have noted a significant association between increasing burn size and an increasing incidence of gram-negative invasive organisms.
Dr. Mulder notes one should differentiate invasive pathogens from wound colonizing organisms via quantitative cultures. One would usually obtain such cultures following the excision of non-viable tissue in order to obtain more accurate results. Although Staph aureus and Pseudomonas are the most common bacterial isolates, clinicians may isolate other gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, according to Dr. Mulder.
Dr. Mulder is an Associate Professor of Surgery and Orthopedics at the Department of Surgery/Division of Trauma at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD). He is also the Director of the Wound Treatment and Research Center at UCSD.
Dr. Wu is the American Podiatric Medical Association/American Diabetes Association Senior Fellow at the Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR) at the William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago.
Dr. Karlock (pictured) is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, and practices in Austintown, Ohio. He is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for WOUNDS, a Compendium of Clinical Research and Practice.

State Budget Includes Needed Support for Victims
The state budget signed today by Governor Walker includes needed resources to assist and protect victims of domestic violence. Victim advocates expressed gratitude to Governor Walker and legislators for these investments.
"The additional funding for services is a lifeline for victims and children in Wisconsin," said Patti Seger. "More victims will get the help they need to escape abusive situations."
The state budget includes an additional $1.5 million over the next two years to support the availability of shelters and services across Wisconsin. On a single day, approximately 270 victims are currently unable to get assistance because of funding shortages. The budget also contains capital funding for two domestic violence shelters and service centers in Wisconsin to address a critical shortage of refuge space. The capital projects need final approval from the State Building Commission.
"We thank Governor Walker for prioritizing funding for victim services in his budget and thank the members of the Legislature for extending the reach of the additional investments," said Seger. "In particular, we thank Rep. Nygren and Sen. Olsen, the other members of the Joint Finance Committee, Reps. Loudenbeck and Suder, and the many individual legislators who saw the value in promoting victim safety."
Advocates also Applaud Veto of Bondsmen
Victim advocates were also paying special attention to the budget provision that would have permitted bail bondsmen in Wisconsin. End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin said the change in policy would have increased risks to victims and diverted funds to bondsmen that otherwise go to victim restitution and services.
"We are very grateful and pleased that Governor Walker vetoed bail bondsmen in Wisconsin," said Seger. "Bondsmen would have sent our criminal justice system backwards and created unnecessary risks and problems for victims."

Salk Institute for Biological Studies Cancer Center
Director: Dr. Walter Eckhart • 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037 • Phone: 858-453-4100 ext. 1386 • Web site: http://www.salk.edu
Today, Cancer Center investigations comprise approximately half of the research conducted by the Salk Institute and occupy more than 60,000 square feet of laboratory space within the original campus. This research supports 22 faculty members, 150 postdoctoral researchers, 45 graduate students, and 80 research assistants.
Research Activities
The Salk Institute Cancer Center currently focuses on three research areas: molecular biology and genetics, growth control, and cell and developmental biology. Within these areas, scientists are studying signal transduction pathways using phosphorylation and ubiquitination that regulate cell size and cell proliferation in normal cells, cancer cells, and animal models; the functions of tumor suppressor proteins, including p53, LKB1, and APC; the response of cells to DNA damage and how this is perturbed in cancer cells; the involvement of telomere dysfunction in cancer; the connections between aging and cancer; and the role of stem cells in cancer.
Other Notable Programs
Research underway in the Cancer Center is supported by competitively awarded grants of approximately $16 million. In addition, Cancer Center members have been working with The Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation to carry out genome-wide screens, and the Salk Institute is part of the San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, which has plans to establish a facility that will serve the La Jolla mesa area, funded in part by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). Most recently, the Salk Institute received a $2.3 million facilities grant from CIRM to fund the development of shared laboratory space where investigators will conduct scientific research on human embryonic stem cells.
NCI recently designated two new Cancer Centers: Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine.

Ever since Adele became the biggest pop star in the world, nearly every major artist has said that they'd love to work with her. But one particular singer is so excited at the prospect of a duet with the "Skyfall" singer that he said he'd "die a happy man" if they only could collaborate. That artist? Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne .
Speaking to Australia's Rip It Up publication, Ozzy notes that the new album by his band Black Sabbath was overseen by legendary producer Rick Rubin , who's worked with Adele. "If this is anywhere near as successful as the Adele album I'll be happy!" says Ozzy. When the publication suggests that Rubin might be able to hook the heavy metal madman up with an Adele collaboration, he was thrilled at the idea.
"I'd die a happy man. I think she's f**king great," Ozzy says, adding that he admires her because "she's not f**king botox-faced. She's a normal, healthy girl who speaks in her native accent."
Your move, Adele.
