Superb apartment, large and functional. Hyper well located 2 steps from the Coliseum. Ideal to visit Rome on foot or by bus. Would recommend.
Appartement superbe, grand et fonctionnel. Hyper bien placé, à 2 pas du Colisée. Idéal pour visiter Rome à pied ou en bus. A recommander.
Rome great stay, especially in full conclave! Than emotions! Our home in Rome was just as perfect. Our host found aal apartment. Super nice, available, smiling and dynamic! She explained everything to us and given some advice on tours and the best spots! The apartment also ideal, good location seen on the Coliseum! Clean and great great! We were perfectly installed and recommend it! Thank you again
Séjour a Rome formidable , surtout en plein conclave!!! Que d émotions!
Notre accueil a Rome était tout aussi parfait. Notre hôte nous a retrouvé a a l appartement. Super gentil, disponible, souriante et dynamique! Elle nous a tout expliquée et donnée quelques conseils sur les visites et les bons coins!
L appartement lui aussi idéal , bonne situation géographique vu sur le Colisée !

Merci encore
The apartment is nice, is large and light. The water pressure in the showers is getting used to, the elevator has the charm of the last century. Otherwise, there are nothing but kritiseren.
Die Wohnung liegt gut, ist gross und licht. Der Wasserdruck in den Duschen ist gewöhnungsbedürftig; der Aufzug hat den Charme des vorletzten Jahrhunderts. Ansonsten gibt es aber nichts zu kritiseren.
the apartment was nice . what was minus was that the drain in the bathroom sink was clogged, drain the same bathroom in the shower was almost clogged. in one bedroom was doorframe broken and loose when we came . Apart from this , we will be happy again .
We were 7 persons staying 5 days in Rome. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious and well equipped. It was very quite with no trafikk noise and the location was perfect, walking distance from many atractions and Bernini metro stadion very close.
Very nice apartment, small but stylish, very well organized and extremely friendly check in person, everything fine!! Very recommendable.
Even Colosseum within walking distance, nice restaurant district round the corner.
Thank you Daniela and staff!
The location of the apartment we thought was good. Adjacent to the big sights (Coloseum etc.), the others are good on foot to reach, yet the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the terrace and the view over the rooftops of Rome very. The bar opposite can be good and quick breakfast, also good restaurants it has in close proximity. Especially recommended is the Cafe propaganda.
The apartment corresponds to the tender and it had air conditioning which we were very happy. The check-in and check-out has smoothly functioning as well as the taxi service from and to the airport.
Die Lage der Wohnung empfanden wir als gut. Angrenzend zu den grossen Sehenswürdigkeiten (Coloseum etc.), die anderen sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen und dennoch liegt die Wohnung in einem ruhigen Quartier. Wir haben die Terasse und die Sicht über die Dächer Roms sehr genossen. An der Bar gegenüber kann man gut und schnell Frühstücken, auch gute Restaurants hat es in nächster Nähe. Speziell zu empfehlen ist das Cafe Propaganda.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Ausschreibung und sie hatte eine Klimaanlage über die wir sehr froh waren. Das Check-In und Check-Out hat reibungslos funktioniert wie auch der Taxiservice vom bzw. zum Flughafen.

Stetson University head football coach Roger Hughes announced today the hiring of Tim Holt as the Hatters new offensive line coach.
A native of Dighton, Mass., Holt has four years of coaching experience in the NFL, most recently with the Chicago Bears in 2012. He also spent three seasons as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"I am very excited to add Tim to our staff," Hughes said. "He brings experience and knowledge from the highest level of football and couples that with having worked at highly respected academic institutions that value the student-athlete. We are looking forward to working with him."
As a player, Holt was a three-year letterman at Division II Southern Connecticut State University. He started his coaching career at his alma mater where he spent two seasons as a graduate assistant.
Since leaving his alma mater, Holt has spent time coaching at Lehigh, Cornell, American International and Stonehill College. He also returned to his alma mater for four seasons from 2004-07, working with the offensive line before moving to coach the running backs.
In 2009, Holt was hired as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaching intern, before becoming an offensive assistant, and then the assistant offensive line coach under then head coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Greg Olsen in 2011. In his final two seasons with the Bucs, the team's offensive line yielded 4.5 rushing yards per carry, seventh best in the NFL.
Following his stint with the Bucs, Holt was hired by the Bears in 2012 to succeed Mike Tice, who was promoted to offensive coordinator, as offensive line coach under Lovie Smith.
During his career Holt has worked with two Pro Bowl players, 21 All-Conference selections and three All-Americans.
Holt is married and he and wife Bridget have four daughters – Madailein, Cailin, Aislinn and Tegwyn.

Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.

LOCKPORT – The possibility of a psychiatric defense for John R. Freeman Jr., charged with the murder of a 5-year-old Cheektowaga girl he was baby-sitting, was raised during a Niagara County Court appearance Monday.
Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann asked County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III to direct defense attorney Robert Viola to inform the prosecution by Dec. 20 if he intends to pursue a mental health defense for Freeman.
Murphy imposed that time limit, but Viola said he didn't know if he would pursue that angle in the trial, set for Feb. 25. Freeman was scheduled to return to court Dec. 21.
Freeman, 17, of Sixth Street, Niagara Falls, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the Aug. 26 strangulation death of Isabella S. Tennant in her great-grandparents' home in the Falls.
A codefendant, Tyler S. Best, 18, of Barnard Street, Buffalo, has pleaded not guilty to tampering with physical evidence and first-degree hindering prosecution. He allegedly helped Freeman dispose of the girl's body in a stolen garbage tote left in an alley.
Both defendants are being held without bail.

Author Affiliations: Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital (Dr Merrill) and Department of Surgery, Newton Wellesley Hospital (Dr Millham), Boston.
Hypothesis Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) undergoing surgery are at increased risk for postoperative thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Design Retrospective cohort study.
Setting Two hundred eleven hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.
Patients All 271 368 patients from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program 2008 Participant Use Data File were examined, and 2249 patients with IBD were compared with 269 119 patients without IBD.
Main Outcome Measures Occurrence of DVT, PE, myocardial infarction, or stroke within 30 days of surgery.
Results Of 268 703 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program patients, 2249 (0.8%) had IBD. There were 2665 cases of DVT or PE (1.0%). Occurrence of DVT or PE was more common in patients with IBD (2.5%) overall (P < .001). Nonintestinal surgical cases had a higher rate of DVT or PE (5.0%; P = .002). Regression analysis, controlling for confounders, confirmed that IBD was associated with increased risk for DVT or PE (odds ratio = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.52-2.70). For nonintestinal surgery, risk of DVT or PE for patients with IBD was increased (odds ratio = 4.45; 95% CI, 1.72-11.49). Inflammatory bowel disease had no effect on risk of postoperative myocardial infarction or stroke.
Conclusions Patients with IBD are at increased risk for developing postoperative DVT or PE. This risk persists when potential confounding variables are controlled for. Risk of DVT or PE appears to be even higher for patients with IBD who are having nonintestinal surgery. Cardiac and stroke risks do not appear to be increased by IBD. Perhaps standards for DVT and PE prophylaxis in these cases should be reconsidered.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk for thromboembolic events, especially deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). This association was first described in 1936 by Bargen and Barker,1 who described 18 patients with thromboembolic disease (predominantly venous) in more than 1000 patients treated for IBD at Mayo Clinic. Recent publications suggest that patients with IBD have increased risk of venous thromboembolism varying from as low as 1.5 times that of nonaffected patients2,3 to as high as 4.7-fold for patients with Crohn disease in a population-based cohort study.4 Moreover, patients with IBD who have PE appear to have increased risk of death compared with others.2,5 Despite these findings, standard DVT and PE prophylaxis guidelines do not recommend enhanced prophylaxis for patients with IBD.6- 8 Recent data suggest that patients with IBD who require surgery are at very high risk for DVT. Scarpa et al9 have reported that, compared with patients with cancer undergoing colon resections, patients with ulcerative colitis have an odds ratio (OR) of 7.4 for having postoperative DVT.
Quiz Ref IDWe wondered whether patients with IBD undergoing surgery in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) member hospitals had a similar risk of DVT or PE. The NSQIP collected data from more than 170 hospitals in 2008. These data were gathered by specifically trained nurses working from a rigorously defined and validated data definition dictionary. The purpose of the NSQIP is to provide risk-adjusted clinical outcomes data to participating hospitals. The NSQIP Participant Use Data File (PUF) is a deidentified research database available to NSQIP participants. As such, the NSQIP PUF data set presents an opportunity to examine the relationship of DVT and PE with IBD in a large group of patients for whom data on comorbid conditions and other potential confounding variables are available and well defined. Furthermore, hospitals participating in the NSQIP, having invested in quality improvement, might be expected to treat patients with best practices, at least with respect to DVT prophylaxis. This would therefore reduce the opportunity for treatment bias between centers. Because there may be a bias toward patients with complicated acute inflammatory conditions in the IBD group, we also wondered whether patients who have surgery on nonintestinal sites would have a risk of DVT or PE different from that of patients undergoing small- and/or large-bowel procedures.
We used the NSQIP PUF for 2008 to evaluate rates of DVT and PE in surgical patients with and without IBD. The NSQIP 2008 PUF contains complete records on 271 368 procedures or admissions. This database collects data from more than 200 participating hospitals around the country and includes 136 variables describing patient characteristics, historical features, process variables, and outcomes gathered retrospectively by specifically trained nurse reviewers. Permission to use this data set for research purposes was granted by the NSQIP. The Newton Wellesley Hospital Human Research Investigation Committee also approved of this work.
We dichotomized patient demographic characteristics, history, and preoperative laboratory data, taking care to indicate missing variables where appropriate. Crohn disease was defined as present in any case where the postoperative diagnosis field, "podiag," contained International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes 555-555.9 (regional enteritis). Ulcerative colitis was defined as present in any case where the podiag field contained ICD-9-CM codes 556-556.9 (ulcerative colitis). Table 1 lists the ICD-9-CM codes defining the inclusion criteria for these diseases and the frequencies of each code in the database. Inflammatory bowel disease was defined as any case meeting criteria for either Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis. Intestinal surgery was defined as being present in any record with a principle procedure Current Procedural Terminology code indicating surgery on the small or large bowel. Table 2 lists Current Procedural Terminology codes defining intestinal surgery.
The NSQIP variables are rigorously defined using a standardized dictionary. Data are abstracted by specifically trained nurses whose performance is subject to yearly validation. The NSQIP dictionary definitions of these occurrences are listed in the eAppendix. We defined DVT as any record with a value greater than 0 recorded in the "nothdvt" field. Similarly, PE was defined as value greater than 0 in the "npulembol" field, myocardial infarction (MI) as a value greater than 0 in the "ncdmi" field, and stroke as a value greater than 0 in the "ncnscva" field. Because DVT and PE are thought to represent different manifestations of the same process, the spontaneous formation of thrombus in the central veins and the migration of such thrombi centrally, we created a composite variable to identify any patient who had either DVT or PE. Similarly, because MI and cerebrovascular accident may represent spontaneous arterial thrombosis and migration of thrombi, we created a composite variable to identify patients who had either an MI or a stroke. Death was defined as having occurred in any patient whose record had the date 2008 in the "yrdeath field." By NSQIP definition, this designation includes patients who died in the hospital or within 30 days of surgery.
We tested for variables associated with DVT or PE among all of the variables in the NSQIP data set using univariate methods: χ2 test for categorical variables and t test for continuous variables. These findings then informed the construction of a number of logistic regression models. Final models were those with the most parsimonious use of covariates and the greatest explanatory power. All analysis was performed in Stata version 10.1 statistical software (StataCorp LP, College Station, Texas).
The NSQIP 2008 PUF database included 271 368 patients who underwent surgery. Characteristics of patients with and without IBD are shown in Table 3. Patients with and without IBD differed in many ways. There were 2249 patients (0.8%) identified as having a diagnosis of IBD, 57 of whom (2.5%) had DVT or PE, compared with 1.0% of patients without IBD (P < .001). A total of 1164 patients (0.4%) without IBD and 9 patients (0.4%) with IBD had a cerebrovascular accident or MI (P = .68). Quiz Ref IDPatients with IBD were more commonly male and white or Hispanic than patients without IBD (P < .001). Patients with IBD were younger, had on average more relative value units per procedure, and had a longer average length of stay. Patients with IBD were less commonly admitted from home, were smokers, or were obese (P < .001). More than 36% of patients with IBD had used steroids compared with fewer than 3% of patients without a diagnosis of IBD (P < .001). Patients with IBD were less likely to undergo surgery as outpatients or emergencies (P < .001) and more likely to have American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of 1 or 2 (P < .001), but they were more likely to have an elevated white blood cell count, have an organ space infection, sepsis, or septic shock, or to dehisce their fascial closure (P < .001). However, they had lower postoperative mortality rates (P = .04).
Of the multivariate logistic regression models constructed to try to account for these various confounding factors, the most efficient is shown in Table 4. This model includes all variables available in the NSQIP that add to the power to predict DVT or PE. When these numerous confounders are controlled for, IBD remains a significant predictor of DVT or PE (OR = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.52-2.70). In fact, only a history of brain tumor or postoperative neurologic deficit have a higher OR in this model. Mortality occurred in 224 of 2608 patients without IBD who had DVT or PE (8.6%) and 5 of 57 patients without IBD who had DVT or PE (8.8%) (P > .99).
Quiz Ref IDWhen patients with procedures on the small and large bowel were excluded, 100 patients with IBD remained. Of these, 5 (5.0%) had DVT or PE compared with 1778 cases of DVT or PE among 213 402 patients without IBD (0.8%) (P = .002). When a regression model is constructed for this subset of patients undergoing nonintestinal procedures, the patients with IBD are found to have a 4.45-fold increased risk of DVT or PE (P = .002) compared with patients without IBD.
Quiz Ref IDWe repeated the modeling exercise for the composite outcome of perioperative MI and stroke. This analysis revealed no association between IBD and this outcome or its individual components.
An increased risk of DVT and PE in patients with IBD has been evident for the past 75 years. Most work in this area has not looked specifically at patients undergoing surgery. Patients with IBD frequently require surgical intervention, and an understanding of their risk of venous thromboembolism is therefore an important issue. This study aimed to examine rates of DVT and PE in patients with IBD undergoing surgery using data from the NSQIP.
Our findings are consistent with others in this area. We found that IBD increases the risk of perioperative DVT or PE 2-fold (OR = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.52-2.70). Bernstein and Nabalamba3 found that in patients hospitalized in Canada, IBD resulted in a DVT relative risk of 1.32 to 1.53, depending on age group. Using a survey method, Miehsler et al10 found that 6.2% of patients with IBD reported an episode of thromboembolism, resulting in an OR of 3.6 (95% CI, 1.7-7.8). Most recently, using data from the National Inpatient Sample, Nguyen and Sam11 found that hospitalized patients with IBD had an OR for DVT or PE of 2.5 (95% CI, 1.83-3.43).
The only previous study to examine perioperative DVT, a report of the 7-year experience of a single institution where patients with ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer both received low-molecular-weight heparin at a dosage of 4000 IU/d, found that patients with ulcerative colitis had an OR of 7.4 (95% CI, 1.14-44.4) for experiencing DVT.9 The broad CIs in this relatively small study suggest that the statistical model may be unstable. Yet, the result comports well with our findings.
We find no support for the claim that DVT or PE in the setting of IBD is more lethal than DVT or PE occurring in the absence of IBD as has been described by Nguyen and Sam11 and Murthy and Nguyen.2
Arterial thromboembolic events are also reported to be increased in patients with IBD.12 We found no support for this conclusion in our data. In this case, we may have been limited by the lack of data on arterial thrombotic events not involving the coronary or cerebral vessels. It may be that if arterial thromboembolism were a reported NSQIP complication, such a relationship would appear.
This increased risk of DVT or PE in patients with IBD has been shown to be an extraintestinal manifestation specific to IBD and not solely due to the inflammatory state of the disease. Miehsler et al10 compared the risk of thromboembolism in patients with IBD, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis and control subjects. While they found an association between increased frequency of thromboembolic events and IBD, there was no such association in patients with the inflammatory conditions of celiac disease or rheumatoid arthritis.
Many theories have been proposed to explain this extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. Factors implicated in the pathogenesis of thromboembolism in patients with IBD include platelet hyperactivation mediated by the CD40-CD40 ligand pathway, hyperhomocysteinemia (secondary to malabsorption and medications), increased coagulation factors, and impaired fibrinolysis.13- 17 Furthermore, studies have even shown a paradoxical improvement in symptoms of inpatients with ulcerative colitis treated with heparin.18,19
There are important strengths and weaknesses associated with using the NSQIP PUF data set for outcomes research. Among the weaknesses, perhaps the most important is that the NSQIP was designed to compare overall outcomes across many hospitals. It was not designed to answer specific research questions regarding specific diseases or procedures. The NSQIP is a database of operations where postoperative diagnosis is cataloged, but most other diagnoses are not specifically recorded. In this study, it is possible that some patients with IBD for whom this was not the principle postoperative diagnosis may have been missed, therefore introducing a classification bias.
Quiz Ref IDSecond, because this is a database of operations and not of individual patients, it is possible that particular patients who had multiple admissions during 2008 may be captured more than once in the data set. Presumably the size of the data set would minimize the effect of multiple admissions, but where IBD was a relatively rare diagnosis and the fact that it often requires multiple hospitalizations may create an opportunity for sample bias toward sicker patients with IBD.
There are a number of strengths in the NSQIP that we believe outweigh these potential sources of bias. First, these data are gathered by specifically trained nurses, accountable to a rigid quality assurance program and working from a well-defined data dictionary. To our knowledge, no other data set offers such reliable and well-validated information. For an investigation like this one, aiming to test an association between 2 relatively uncommon problems, only a prospective multicenter trial enrolling thousands of patients could approach this question. The NSQIP provides an economical alternative.
The second advantage to using the NSQIP is that it not only aggregates data from a large number of centers but also biases selection toward centers committed to quality improvement. One may assume that most, if not all, of the contributing centers are aware of best practices (Surgical Care Improvement Program, for example) and engage in state-of-the-art DVT and PE prophylaxis and detection. No other administrative data set has a bias toward quality that the NSQIP has.
In conclusion, this study of patients enrolled in the NSQIP database demonstrates that patients with IBD who undergo surgery have a 2-fold increased risk of DVT or PE. In patients with IBD who are having nonintestinal surgery, this risk may be even higher. These findings suggest that standard DVT and PE prophylaxis should be reconsidered for this patient group.

inflation.us Prepare for the Economic Collapse! George talks with a recent college grad experiencing shock and awe with regards to the current job climate. College students spend great time, energy and financial resources in the pursuit of a degree. Many are hitting a brick wall in seeking good paying work. Many are taking minimum wage jobs, or leaving the country to teach english. It seem that America will soon face a massive "brain drain" in reverse, where our best and brightest young people choose to pursue work overseas. A very sad ending to the story of a first world power. ELECTIONS Millions to Lose Jobless Benefits by Year's End While hundreds of House members and dozens of senators hit the campaign trail in a fight to save their jobs with help from President Obama, more than 2 million out-of-work Americans are faced with dropping into unemployment obscurity by the end of the year. www.foxnews.com Though Congress last month passed a jobless benefits extension, the boost only lasts until Nov. 30 -- that means a backlog of recipients will drop off those benefits all at once come December. Between the end of August and the end of the calendar year, approximately 2.37 million Americans will stop getting unemployment checks, according to Labor Department statistics. With laid-off investment bankers snapping up jobs in retail and MBAs barely worth the paper they're printed on, college seniors are approaching graduation day with a mixture of dread and resignation. www ...

I quickly subbed Next Media's latest animation concerning Apple's "Antennagate" =D Original here: www.youtube.com
According to the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the US economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today.

Forget the American dream. If you want to make money in a foreign country, the place to go is Russia, which a new survey found to be home to the "wealthiest expats in the world." A third of all expats in Russia ŌĆö the highest proportion in the world ŌĆö make more than $250000 per year, with almost half reporting an income of $200000 per year or more, according to a survey commissioned by HSBC Bank International. A new migrant law designed to make life in Russia easier for expat specialists has been put into force. The new regulation exempts highly-skilled workers with a yearly income of more than $66000 from migrant quotas, orders migration agencies to finish all paperwork for such workers within 2 weeks, simplifies immigration procedures for specialists' family members, grants work permits up to 3 years at once, and eases procedures for obtaining citizenship. This comes as part of the state's initiative to attract more foreign talent to the country. "The migration of highly-skilled workers is the priority in the new law on migration. This law is the basis for the future of Russian policy toward migrants as a whole. Russia is increasingly becoming dependent on its migrant workforce, primarily because of the demographic gap. "The changes will first and foremost simplify life of employers. They won't have to deal with quotas," lawyer Evgeny Reizman from Baker & McKenzie, an international law firm, told RT. According to the international network of job hunting websites The ...
Prospects look grim for the nation's 15 million unemployed, according to a recent jobs report from the Labor Department. Yet lawmakers in Washington, gripped by deficit fears, haven't found the votes for even a modest stimulus package. In the current issue of the Washington Monthly, Jamie Merisotis and Stan Jones offer a plan to assist the unemployed without breaking the federal bank: help them earn one and two-year college credentials, fast. Most of the new jobs being created (slowly but surely) in this recovery require skills most unemployed Americans don't have. Yet the schools where they might get training are not up to the task. Community colleges are inexpensive but not designed to deliver credentials quickly. For-profit colleges provide quick degrees but cost a bundle and often offer subpar training. What the unemployed really need are colleges that combine the low-cost and public mission of community colleges with the job-focused curriculum of the best for-profits. Fortunately, there is a model public college system already up and running that does precisely that, with stunningly successful results. That model could be spread nationwide in a matter of months, not years, with an investment of federal money that is already in the budget. www.newamerica.net
Apples announcement is happening right now, Steve Jobs has just walked out on stage and we are watching and waiting for the tentative announcement of the fourth generation iphone. But as we wait for the company to release it's latest developments, it also important to remember the recent news for Apple that Steve Jobs may not highlight in his keynote on stage today. Apple has recently been facing some controversy. Of course there was Apple's sparring with Adobe over Flash usage. As well as assertions that Apple exerts too much control over it's own App Store. And Apple's run in with the Gizmodo blog, including the involvement of law enforcement concerning the possibly stolen iPhone prototype. Gizmodo posted images and alleged specs of the new device, the real version of which is expected to be revealed today. Steve jobs has been on stage now for a few minutes, he is going over the specs of the company's newest product - the ipad. A quick run through of the numbers as reported by Apple CEO STeve Jobs... They company sold 2 million ipads in the past 2 months, and the device will be in 19 countries by the end of july.

A DFID-funded microfinance programme has helped more than 400000 men and women build new businesses in Afghanistan. Women account for 60% of those who have received $500 million in small business loans from the Microfinance Investment and Support Facility for Afghanistan (MISFA). DFID has provided ┬Ż40.5 million to MISFA over the past six years in a bid to create jobs and boost an economy starved by 30 years of conflict. Unemployment in the country is estimated to be around 36% and in recent polls Afghans cited the economy and jobs as their primary concern. According to an independent study in September 2007, each loan has created an average of 1.5 jobs in the country in areas such as agriculture, candle-making and rug-weaving. MISFA was set up with the backing of the government of Afghanistan in 2003 to better channel money and technical help from international donors to microfinance projects at local level. to find out more about how we are helping in Afghanistan, please visit: www.dfid.gov.uk
This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com America's economy has started to grow again. Now what about jobs? The government says productivity jumped in July, August and September. That meant companies produced more with fewer workers. Also, new claims for unemployment aid fell at the end of October to the lowest number since January. But eight million jobs have disappeared since the recession began in December of two thousand seven. Jack Strauss at Saint Louis University in Missouri says recent recoveries have been slow to create jobs. Experts debate the reason for these so-called jobless recoveries. But Professor Strauss says a banking crisis is especially hard to recover from, because there is less money to lend to support growth. Banks have been holding bigger safety reserves. On November fourth, the Federal Reserve kept its target rate near zero for overnight loans between banks. The central bank said levels are likely to remain "exceptionally low ... for an extended period." Low interest rates and growing federal deficits have weakened the dollar. But that also lowers the price of American exports, which could help drive job creation. Yet where exactly will future jobs come from? Investor Warren Buffet says America's "future prosperity" depends on its rail system. On November third, his Berkshire Hathaway company agreed to buy the nation's second-largest railroad, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe. The forty-four billion dollar deal ...

Are green jobs really a boost to the economy? Despite being touted as a country that has implemented green jobs successfully, Spain's green jobs program has produced less than stellar results. Professor Gabriel Calzada shares findings from his recent study on Spain's green jobs with Glenn Beck. Among the study's findings (link to the full study below): - For every 1 green job financed by Spanish taxpayers, 2.2 real jobs were lost as an opportunity cost - 9 out of 10 green jobs created by Spain over the past 10 years are no longer in existence today. - Since 2000, Spain has spent Ōé¼571138 ($753778) to create each green job, including subsidies of more than Ōé¼1 million ($1319783) per wind industry job. - Those programs resulted in the destruction of nearly 113000 jobs elsewhere in the economy. - Each green megawatt installed destroyed 5.39 jobs in non-energy sectors of the Spanish economy.

www.bradmontgomery.com Military Speaker Home www.bradmontgomery.com Brad Montgomery is a funny motivational speaker from Denver, Colorado. In this video Brad let's us peak behind the scenes on one of his recent jobs as a military motivational speaker for the Defense Acquisition University in Huntsville, Alabama. Brad speaks to all industries, but lately has been speaking to military audiences ŌĆö and he loves it. Brad uses humor to motivate organizations to remember that Quality of Work Life (happiness) is directly related to Quality of Work Product. Happy workers make better workers. Besides... it's way more fun than the opposite. In this very funny program, Brad Montgomery creates a very fun "experience" where people laugh so hard their faces hurt. Then he connects that humor to using levity, lightheartedness and humor at work in order to increase morale, reduce the need for oversight, and ŌĆö in the end ŌĆö improve productivity. If there is one group that needs motivation now it is the military. These hard working men and women have such serious jobs that they NEED a reminder not only that laughter and levity is allowed... it's encouraged. Nothing saps morale more than stress. Often what military groups need most is a dose of Brad. Looking for a military speaker? A speaker for the Air Force?

An $821-million project will provide the Fayetteville Shale Play with 265 miles of interstate transmission pipeline, bringing hundreds new jobs to the state for Arkansans. The pipeline will stretch from Conway County, Arkansas, to Kosciusko, Mississippi. Governor Mike Beebe toured a stretch of the construction site in the Center Ridge area in Central Arkansas today, talking about the importance of the project and what it will bring to the people of our state. To view today's remarks by Governor Beebe, click here. This project follows the recent historic adjustment in the state severance tax on natural gas. Thanks to that adjustment, Arkansas now receives a more equitable rate of compensation for the withdrawal of a non-renewable natural resource. The trenched pipeline project builds off of the Fayetteville Shale Play, allowing 1.1-billion cubic feet of compressed gas to be pumped out of Arkansas daily to markets in Memphis, Louisville, Indianapolis, Evansville, Cincinnati, and Dayton. Primary financial backing for the project was provided by Southwestern Energy Services, Co.
This video is intended to highlight the relationship, accountability and reciprocity of two organizers, one is a rank and file Allied Barton security officer (Thomas Robinson) and the other is Philadelphia Jobs With Justice Field Organizer (Eduardo Soriano-Castillo). Under the banner of Philadelphia Officers and Workers Rising (POWR), security guards across the city of Philadelphia have become one of the latest examples of a "non-majority union," organizing outside of the traditional framework of collective bargaining. Unlike most unions, who have demonstrated majority support and bargain contracts on behalf of their members, non-majority unions represent a minority of workers in the workplace, and rely on collective action and shop floor activityŌĆöinstead of regularly negotiated contractsŌĆöto win gains for the membership. Guards across the city of Philadelphia hope that this organizing model, together with a strong base of student (Student Labor Action Project) and community support(Philadelphia Jobs With Justice), will help them translate the recent sick day and wage increase victories at Penn and Temple U into similar gains citywide, and move them one step closer to their goal of winning full union recognition from AlliedBarton.

For more than twenty-five years, I've been successfully participated in animation music composition(cartoon "Urusei Yatsura", Movie "Tampopo", "Gerry Anderson's FireStorm", etc). These works hardly pursue a whole synchronization of music and pictures, so inevitably, I feel frustrated with the unbalanced two elements. Recent years have been my challenge to seek its solution with brick toys animations(using Lego(R)). Also the music composition to meet the trial has been another project. The number of genuine children's animations seems decreasing compared to the number aiming for OTAKU (freaks) in Japan. The audience of this Dr. Jobs' series aims for five to ten-year old children. In each story, I'd like to create a comedy with this brick character, which you will find his brilliant invention always ending up with a bitter experience. Enjoy it!

Hotel gives guests gold plated Apple iPad to use during stay
0. phoneArena 26 May 2013, 12:15 posted on
If only you had held on to those thousand shares of Apple that you bought during the John Sculley years, you too could be hobnobbing with CEOs, NBA stars, movie stars and the winner of last week's Powerball lottery; when you have money to burn, you find yourself taking vacations to such places as Burj-Al-Arab hotel in Dubai...

LOL xD
5. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
even if the ipad breaks,the value of gold will remain the same, so why would you pay so much?
54. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Because rich people are a bunch of idiots. If they see a golden apple logo they will buy anything.
61. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
we are not talking about buying or selling over here....i have just asked him why would anyone pay so much for dropping or scratching it because the value of gold will be the same even if its scratched or dropped...

I'm pretty sure that iPad and amount of gold on it is highly overpriced, gold is not cheap metal, but such amount is still doesn't worth $10,200. It is bad investition!
24. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 528; Member since: 07 May 2012)
if you can afford to stay at that hotel,you can afford to drop the ipad
55. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
I'll do just that!
60. Dorothy69 (banned) (Posts: 498; Member since: 21 May 2013)
I would drop it in the 18k gold-plated toilet after I take care of #2; then, I would spritz with the bidet and let the ghost of Stevie boy wipe me clean (with his black turtle-neck, of course). Thereafter, I would go along my merry way down the yellow brick road.

Geez...... $15,100 a night! No thank you! Good life, but pricey night!
Why not just bring your own tablet and stay in a five star hotel instead of staying in this pricey seven star hotel?
18. Daftama (Posts: 619; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
All of you r saying this when your making millions spending couple of thousands a night is like spending 10 a day for us
59. meowcenary (Posts: 187; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
I guess you never stayed at a five star, five diamond hotel before. Have you checked out the prices for their high-end suites/enthouse? Besides if you are old money you would not be blowing your money on crap and luxuary stays. you would be living in a simple house, driving a simple car, and staying at typical three star hotel or motel.
6. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3759; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I'd get myself an SIV, HTC One, Lumia 925, Xperia Z...and keep the remaining money in my account so i can wait and grab the next flagships as soon as they're released instead of wasting my time up there admiring the gold instead of the iPad.
8. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
i think you can get a S4,One , L925,Xperia Z and still buy a months supply of food for a village in Africa

rich doesnot mean Smart all the time anyway and poor doesnot mean fool either
Bill Gaates is top riches man where he spends money - spends on helping world
so are those Arab Dumbheaded jerks so rish - spends on getting everything in gold and dimonds
eventually both will die only the deeds will be remebered
67. bachir8k (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
LoL, "Arab Dumbheaded jerks", mmm you should know that 85% of the hotel guests and residences are from USA, Europe and Asia, so properties like Burj-AlArab hotel, Khalifa-tower (longest tower in the world), etc. are good investments for Dubai, almost like Vegas for USA.

Good one mxy.
35. Droiddoes (unregistered)
So you admit you think Android is crap since you agreed with the biggest troll here. I'm confused, I thought you were a "lover of technology" and liked Android yet your trolling of the Android platform implies otherwise. Care to explain?
39. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Nooooooot really. I'm not in the business of justification to pointless faceless, text. I will say this though, I don't give a flying F about google, apple, or any other company. Simply make what I want to use, and if I like it I'll buy it. now I know you'll say something insulting or fanboyish to this, but I have no loyalty to anyone other than my family. Android iOS, and the rest are nothing more than software. I like em all but iOS is my #1
41. Droiddoes (unregistered)
You really are not very smart, are you? I'm not trying to insult you, that is just the only possible explanation. You call people 'hypocrites' yet you clearly do not know what that word means. Example:
You don't get to agree with and like the comment of the biggest iFanboy troll here who said Android is a piece of sh*t and say 'lol bro +1' and then two comments later say you like both platforms and are unbiased. You cannot have it both ways.
That, Moose, is hypocrisy. I can draw you a picture explaining it if you'd like, but I doubt you'd understand and I don't have any crayons.
Now go move something heavy.
42. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Exactly the response I was looking for. Thank u "bro" lol.
46. Droiddoes (unregistered)
So...you want me to point out what a tard you are and how you do not understand basic words, logic, and why you are a hypocrite? O...kay.
Dude you should really rethink showing your little flame wars to your fiance, she's gonna leave you. No woman wants to have a muscle bound retard baby humped into her, and you are making it more and more obvious that you clearly have a learning disability.
Still not your bro, Moose.

19. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I agree that Droiddoes comment #11 was rude and maybe inappropriate, but at least it made sense and reflected his opinion while your comment is just a pointless insulting...
21. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Now ain't that the pot calling the kettle black? I know English and American sayings aren't native for you, but that means you're being a hypocrite. You are one of the most pointlessly insulting people on this site, and droiddoes is simply a pathetic joke. Oh and my comment 1000% percent reflected my opinion of droiddoes. Driod "does" provide me with giggles though.
26. Droiddoes (unregistered)
LOL yup I am living under your skin champ. Now you're referencing me in almost every post, way to not let internet comments get to you.

"Now ain't that the pot calling the kettle black? I know English and American sayings aren't native for you..."
I don't know what makes you think that this saying is native only for America and other English speaking regions. I very well know this saying and this saying is used in other regions also. So, it isn't native only for America and other English speaking regions.
"You are one of the most pointlessly insulting people on this site..."
Since you are making such declarations, show me please at least one of my comments where I use bad language to insult other PhoneArena.com member, could you?
"Oh and my comment 1000% percent reflected my opinion of droiddoes."
Droiddoes comment #11 was rude but with hidden meaning while your comment #15 was just a plain insulting.
38. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Thank you. My god, literally getting butthurt because I made a crack at an inanimate object. Freaking meatheads. Grow up, find something heavy, and lift out the bad feewings.
44. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Dude lol what's this thing with meatheads and lifting something heavy? Do u really think that's bothering me? Thats a compliment man, lmao this meathead thing really bothers U I think lol. Health and fitness is fun try it. Butt hurt meat head no family friends fiancé job life. What's next...u gonna take my iphone? I mean c'mon man, meat head..,really?
48. Droiddoes (unregistered)
I am having more and more trouble understanding the point you are trying to make, if there even is one. Do you like have a 2,000 word per day limit before your brain overheats or something?
Also where did I ever say you have no family or friends or mock your fiance or her job? I mean clearly she has terrible taste in men, but other than that I've never insulted her.
Lift it out Moose.
57. Droiddoes (unregistered)
Um....no, why would I want to take your toy away? If I wanted an iphone I would buy one. Really not sure what you're trying to say. Here's a tip, free of charge: before you post, read it aloud. Maybe to a friend or adult you trust. Might just cut down on the nonsensical posts, Moose.
45. darkkjedii (Posts: 21219; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
This is me at MHA hello I'm darkkjedii and I'm a meat head LMAOOOOO.

Mouse-Human chimeric mAb targeting GD2 was developed by CCRI and SIOPEN.[© Francois du Plessis - Fotolia.com]
Apeiron Biologics has taken over rights to further develop, file for regulatory approval, and market the antibody ch14.18, which was developed as an immunotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma by the Children's Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) and the European Neuroblastoma Research Network (SIOPEN). It is currently in a Phase III trial across various European clinical centers.
Ch14.18 is a mouse-human chimeric mAb against the antigen GD2 (a disialoganglioside), which is strongly expressed on the surface of neuroblastoma cells. It is currently in a number of Phase III studies in Europe, with one evaluating whether the concomitant subcutaneous administration of interleukin-2 improves the efficacy of ch14.18.
As part of the agreement, Apeiron will provide substantial support for an ongoing European Phase III trial. Due to the limited number of clinical centers specializing in the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma, Apeiron is considering marketing the therapy on its own.
Austrian company Polymun Scientific has been producing clinical supplies for the CCRI/SIOPEN-sponsored clinical studies. Apeiron has now commissioned Polymun to continue production and to prepare for commercial supply of the material.
The conclusion of its arrangement with CCRI and SIOPEN marks the second milestone for Apeiron's strategy to treat neuroblastoma. Earlier this year the firm licensed Phase II-stage neuroblastoma candidate Hu14.18-IL2 from Merck KGaA.
Hu14.18-IL2 comprises the hu14.18 mAb linked to interleukin 2. The fusion protein is designed to bind to the GD2 antigen. It is expected both to stimulate immune system NK and T-cell activity against the tumor and trigger tumor cell killing by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity mechanisms.
Apeiron has two more projects in its clinical pipeline. APN201 is a liposomal formulation of recombinant human superoxide dismutase in Phase II for the prevention or treatment of skin damage due to radiation treatment in cancer.
APN01, a recombinant human angiotensin converting enzyme 2, was licensed to GlaxoSmithKline last year for £11 million up front. It is expected to commence a Phase II study in acute respiratory distress syndrome in the near future.

The 9-year-old son of a South Lake Tahoe man helped rescue his father from a snowmobile crash Sunday in the Blue Lakes area of Alpine County.
John Taylor and his son, Bode Beirdneau of Marin County, were snowmobiling in the area when Taylor lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons. He collided with a tree and injured his leg, becoming partially entangled with the snowmobile and stuck under the wreckage.
Bode, after helping dig his dad out from underneath the vehicle, took his snowmobile to get help. He rode toward Highway 88 on Blue Lakes Road until finding an employee with Lake Tahoe Adventures, who then radioed for help, according to California Highway Patrol.
Bode then led emergency responders back to his father, who suffered from a broken femur and possibly some broken ribs. On Thursday, Taylor said he was home from the hospital and using crutches.
For the full story on Taylor's rescue, check out Friday's Tahoe Daily Tribune.

Land protection is a critical tool by which Ducks Unlimited conserves waterfowl habitat throughout North America. DU protects land through several means including acquisitions, conservation easements and revolving lands strategy.
DU owns limited amounts of land in key areas to address specific waterfowl conservation needs.
Conservation easements can meet the needs of interested owners of working farms, ranches, timberlands, sporting properties and recreational lands, who wish to protect valuable natural resources while retaining ownership of the property. [learn more]
In locations where wildlife habitat has been degraded & the land is for sale, DU will seek to acquire it. Once purchased, the habitat will be restored and easements will be placed on land to perpetually protect resource values. [learn more]

John Sheehan: Inside Application Virtualization

Application virtualization is different than machine virtualization which virtualizes the machine on which an operating system (and applications) are installed. Machine virtualization provides an abstraction layer between the hardware and the OS that's running on top of it. It also allows managing and simultaneously operating multiple environments on a single machine.
Application virtualization takes this concept and applies it to programs. The abstraction layer created by application virtualization lies between the operating system and the applications that run within it, allowing applications to be delivered dynamically
as services that can be added or removed without installation.
Microsoft purchased a company named Softricity a while ago and the application virtualization product SoftGrid was forged from the algorithms created by both Softricity and Microsoft engineers.
Marketing says:
"Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization provides the most extensive virtualization on the market. In addition to virtualizing application related Windows Services, it virtualizes per user, per application instance, key application components including the Registry, file system, DLLs, COM/IPC, .INI files, fonts and more.
SoftGrid's application virtualization can work in concert with other virtualization technologies – including machine virtualization – as part of a comprehensive services-oriented architecture."
Here, John Sheehan, the primary architect of SoftGrid (formerly the chief architect of Softricity) digs into the details of how application virtualization (as implemented in SoftGrid) works. It's an incredibly interesting technology with a very promising future. There are many possibilities for using application virtualization to solve problems affecting not only the enterprise, but standard users and developers as well. Just use your imagination. This is a deep dive and John told me he'd like to go even deeper next time he's in Redmond. For now, this conversation should suffice as a technical introduction to the world of application virtualization and how Microsoft is innovating in this space.
Oops, something didn't work.
What a great interview and what a great technology. I can't believe I haven't heard about this before.
I really like John's views on architecture: "Keep it loosly coupled cause every dependency you add makes it harder to Innovate". Thats gonne be my quote for the next year.

Catherine Templeton, director of the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, has added her voice to the chorus of those who have long supported a fundamental reorganization of the sprawling agency.
Ms. Templeton wants the agency's public health duties separated from its environmental component as its own agency. The mission of the agency's two major components is too disparate for a functional fit,
The Legislature should heed this latest expert advice on DHEC. In 2003, then-Gov. Mark Sanford recommended a division of the agency into separate public health and environmental agencies. But his plan got nowhere in the Legislature. Neither did the 2009 recommendation by DHEC's appointed board for agency Cabinet status.
In Mr. Sanford's plan, the environmental part of the agency would have been merged with other environmental agencies, such as the state Forestry Commission and the state Department of Natural Resources, as a single department.
Those recommendations make such obvious good sense, you have to wonder why the Legislature hasn't advanced any of them. Then again, the Legislature hasn't yet been able to finalize the creation of the long-debated Department of Administration, despite three years of review.
As usual, the Senate is primarily to blame, as reform efforts grind to a painful halt in the upper chamber at the end of the legislative session. It can't be mere incompetence.
More likely, the Senate's inaction is a reluctance to do anything that would erode its authority in this legislatively dominated state. The creation of the Department of Administration would curtail the power of the legislative budget committee chairmen on the Budget and Control Board, where they have the same vote as the governor.
Elsewhere the Legislature is loath to part with its cherished perquisite to make appointments to state boards and commissions.
Because many agencies continue to have policy decided by boards and commissions, there is inadequate oversight to state operations and insufficient accountability when things go wrong.
Apparently, that's generally fine with the Legislature, until an agency really crashes and burns — for example the state Employment Security Commission. Legislators were supposed to be providing oversight to that agency as it went $900 million in the hole. After the train wreck became apparent, the Legislature deftly passed the ESC, which had been managed by three ex-legislators, over to the governor's office.
Similarly, the Legislature was happy to get rid of the Division of Motor Vehicles, a perennial problem agency. Gov. Sanford's quick turnaround of DMV as a model of efficiency should have convinced the Legislature of the wisdom of quickly adding other agencies to the Cabinet. But it didn't
Government reform is so difficult to achieve in South Carolina that it almost seems pointless to recommend that legislators do the responsible thing and complete the reorganization of state government started under Gov. Carroll Campbell in the 1990s. As the state's chief executive, the governor should be allowed to exercise executive authority across the range of state responsibilities and be held accountable for her or his actions. The Legislature should act accordingly to make it happen.
The pending Department of Administration bill should be first on the Legislature's reform agenda next session.
Reorganizing DHEC shouldn't be far behind.
