About this paper
Predictive analytics is widely used in insurance pricing and underwriting applications. Media and industry information might lead to the assumption that most insurers are using predictive analytics for well-defined improvements in the claims arena, too. But after conducting research and interviews with insurance executives, The Gorman Group and SAS found this was not the case. Most insurers, they found, underutilize the use of predictive analytics in claims – and fail to get the full value out of their claims data. This paper identifies the most common inhibitors to using predictive analytics in claims and presents concrete recommendations for overcoming them.

Osmotic fragility is a test to detect whether red blood cells are more likely to break down.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
In the laboratory, red blood cells are tested with a solution that makes them swell, in order to determine how fragile they are.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is performed to detect
A negative test is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

well throw in 200 illegals and 0% employment and bam 500million americans lose their job
Please show me the research to back up this statement.You are correct that you are in a minority, though. After all, you are a Republican -- a small and ever-shrinking segment of the population.
crap youre right what was i thinking!
Much better.
You may begin your submission now.....
"Sixty percent of those questioned in the poll favored the economic stimulus plan, with 39 percent opposing the package."
52% of Americans approve of the stimulus bill, with 41% disapproving
And, here is the Gallup poll, which shows the trend:
These copies of the old links don't work. The old links first posted DO work...but sorry.....1001 people is a WEAK sample for a nationwide opinion. Now, for an opinion in a DMA of 500,000 people or less, maybe....and that Gallup poll is 6 weeks old; the stimulus bill is a WEEK old. Methinks your stats are old news.....
March, 2008 poll
January, 2009
1) The Republicans controlled both houses of Congress at that point. How did Barney Frank ram though legislation, then? The answer is, he didn't.
2) There was a bill that actually toughened regulations on Fannie and Freddie that went through Congress (H.R. 1427), but that didn't happen until 2007 -- when the Dems controlled Congress.
Explain to me how the Dems caused this crisis again?
Through opening up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac money to anyone with a pulse back in 1999............
Thanks, Slick Willy, regards,
So what happened in '04, bp? Even with that sub-par support from the indies, WHY did Kerry win?
Let's see how those numbers stack up in the next couple of years....all the while knowing that if Clinton had done his job when he had the chance, 9/11 and the Iraq war would have NEVER happened and those numbers and this country would look a WHOLE lot different right now....That this country is more racially divided than it's been since 1964.....It tells me he has solid support among blacks. What does it tell you?
you do know that carter and then clinton were the ones that put in place the legislation that made banks give loans to people who couldn't afford them. those two presidents if you recall were democrats...at least i think thats what they were...
anyone else ever notice when republicans state facts they are talking points but when a dem blames bush for something that was clearly put in place by dems its somehow fact....

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
The current mayors of New Albany, Oxford and Pontotoc have all announced their bids for re-election.
New Albany Mayor Tim Kent says one development eclipses all others during his first two terms.
"Definitely Toyota," he said. "I got in on the negotiations when I first got elected in 2005." Kent said the city's providing Toyota with electric service was a challenge, as were the initial negotiations that landed the auto manufacturer in Blue Springs.
Other highlights were recruiting Toyota supplier Vuteq to New Albany, landing Lowe's and Tractor Supply Co. stores and the designation of U.S. Highway 78 as future I-22, he said.
Also high on Kent's list of city advances is the expansion of the BNA Sportsplex with new tennis and soccer fields along with a lake, fountain and pavilion.
"I think our tennis and soccer complex added to our quality of life and our identity as a community," he said. "It also added to our tourism tax." Kent noted that further tourism is expected to develop with the expected opening of the Tanglefoot Trail recreation corridor later this year.
In Pontotoc, Mayor Jeff Stafford points to recovery in the city's furniture industry and infrastructure upgrades that could attract Toyota suppliers as two reasons he's running for a second term.
"It's the lifeblood of the community when we've got the plants filled," he said. "We've had over a million square feet of furniture – factory and warehouse – occupied since I've been in office."
The former alderman-at-large can't comment on any specifics regarding possible Toyota suppliers' inquiries about Pontotoc, but he noted the recruitment has led to a citywide beautification effort that has upgraded landscaping, especially around the Square, and will bring a splash pad (mini-waterpark) downtown this year. Utility upgrades will replace older sewer lines and eventually convert to electronic metering that will cost less to monitor and give quicker indication of leaks.
In terms of Toyota-related industry, Stafford said, "We do have a site that we can present, shovel-ready with water, sewer and gas availability. We're in the game now."
Oxford Mayor George "Pat" Patterson also will run for a second term, noting that the city came through "some of the toughest economic times in nearly 100 years" without layoffs or tax increases.
The purchase of Bell Utilities, which transferred several hundred customers to the city and began the upgrade of their water and sewer systems, "helped so many people," Patterson said.
During the current term, Oxford's debt has been restructured, saving hundreds of thousands in interest.
Facing downtown parking shortages, the city implemented a parking management program and will add 100 spaces this spring. That relief adds to that provided by the transit service begun under former Mayor Richard Howorth, whose use "has grown exponentially," Patterson said.
Perhaps the longest-reaching recent development was the sale of the hospital.
"It took a year and a half of negotiation, but it delivered a cash check for $65 million to the city and county," he said. "In the process we secured a new $300 million hospital that will serve the community for generations."

ANN Manga Version Description wrote:In a high school recently turned from all-boy to coed, Misaki Ayuzawa, chairwoman of student council, battles "stinky and dirty" male students every day to protect the few (20%) females in school. Off campus, she works hard at a maid café to supplement the income of her household (as well as leftover foods) after her father had deserted the family -- whose action contributed to her hatred toward males. However, Takumi Usui, a handsome guy (and a heartbreaker of many girls) accidentally found out her double identities. She thought the entire school would know by the next morning, yet he kept her secret away from others, making her even more suspicious of his motives.

National History Day
Posted By admin On @ 4:52 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Students from across Iowa got the chance to meet one of the top Iowa lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Nearly 600,000students from middle schools and high schools visited Washington, D.C. for National History Day and Senator Chuck Grassley had the chance to meet with the Iowa group. Grassley says he enjoys meeting with the students because they share a passion for history. He says having such a passionate group of students make the trek to the nations capitol shows Iowas commitment to quality education.

It only takes 30 minutes to give trusty green bean casserole a makeover with orange and rosemary. It's a festive, flavorful side dish that's low fat, too.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, crumble 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Instead of fresh green beans, use two 1-pound bags of frozen cut green beans. Cook as directed on the bag, then stir in the marmalade mixture.
Just before serving, sprinkle the beans with 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds.

Naga Phone Update
When the game is on the line, will you answer the call
When gamers first got their hands on the Razer Naga, we received a ton of feedback: "This thing feels perfect in my hand" and "LOL look like phone." As funny an observation as it is, that last bit got us thinking-
The sensor on the Razer Naga is so precise that it detects the most minute changes in position via Doppler shift. Couldn't we, theoretically, apply that capability to detecting the vibrations of human speech?
The answer is yes.
When your mouse is your phone, your phone is your PWN.
Through a simple firmware update, you can now unlock the ability to transform your Naga into a communications device. Utilize VOIP functionality and even tie into your existing phone # to keep your friends and family as close as your enemies.
With the Naga Phone, communication is always in the palm of your hand. You won't have to dig through your pocket mid-game to answer that important call. And after taking out a couple of n00bs, you can even order take-out.
All Razer Naga Gaming
Mice are Phone Capable*
Naga Phone functionality is only two steps away. Phone in the own and SMS ur IRL BFFs w/0 going AFK. LOL!
Here's What you need to do:
- Download/update to the latest version of Synapse 2.0.
- Ensure that you are at the Razer Naga configuration screen.
- Hold your Razer Naga to your ear.
Input this code on your keyboard:
If entered correctly, you will receive a special confirmation
screen with additional instructions.
Enjoy your newly phone-enabled Razer Naga!
Let your friends know that their mice are phone ready.
Join the call to action.

I just received in the mail a form, sent by the Sierra Club, which would allow me to sign up with my electric company to choose "green energy" at the small cost of just $8 more per month added to my utility bill.
It does not say if such "green" energy includes nuclear power (of which PA does have some), or just wind mills, water, solar. It tells me that each house using green energy will save 11,000 tons of greenhouse gasses each year.
Since PP&L probably has a couple of million customers, if 10% of them sign up, that's $800,000/month or a cool $9,6 million a year.
However, I don't know that PP&L has enough "green energy" sources to supply such green energy to each household that might sign up. Then where does the extra $ go? Does it go directly to my utility company to build such capacity? Or does the Sierra Club get a cut from that $8 to pursue it's green energy agenda? (which presumably include sending out more solicitations like this one).
Since PA has "electric choice" (allowing consumers to choose there own "generator" and "transmitter") for electricity), each electric company is required by law to share its customer list with any potential vendor for those services.
Looks like an unintended consequence to me ... a law that may be allowing the Sierra Club to lobby for its own agenda. BTW, the utility company already allows a customer to choose "green energy" on its bill each month, though I can't remember the amount/month that requires on the electric charge. So, I'm also wondering if this is, indeed, a way for those green energy subsidies to go to the Sierra Club instead of the utility company directly.
The Sierra Club may not realize that electric users in PA already saw a 30% increase in their electric costs as soon as electric choice came into being; and that $8/mo is about 10% additional for the user of 1000 KW a month. And they present this proposal at a time when real income for a lot of people has decreased in that same period of time.

Flat Battery? Get a great value replacement in Barking with Who Can Fix My Car TODAY!
good job
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
Excellent mechanic, great work, great price, will always use this mechanic from now on.
Fantastic ! Adam was fast efficient and very friendly used a very good brand replacement part Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for helping me get back on the road the work. Car is working perfectly, now. Thank you.
Better service than any other garage I have ever been to. Don't think you will get a better mechanic in London. Talked through all the problems and diagnosed the car fully. Very happy with the whole job and would use again.
Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for the work. Car is working perfectly, now.
After my car broke down I found JAGG autos on this site. I choose his offer due to the postives ratings he got and Ibam glad that I did. My car couldn't be driven to a clutch and DMF fault. Jagg came down recovered my car, repaired the car faults including a bonnet cord fault that I had all within the qoutes that he had given. Theres was no hidden charges and during the repairs I was given regular updates. I am so glad I choose JAGG Autos and would be taking all my future motoring needs to him.
Friendly quick service and gave advice for future. Highly recommended.
Very professional, very impressed with their service!
Amazing work, quick and no bad surprises on payment. Car drives fine and brakes stopped squeaking. This will be my main goto garage from now on !
Incredibly polite, bang on the quote and a lot cheaper than any other garage. I was nervous using a new garage but I'll definitely use them again if needed.
Very happy with the service. Anthony was efficient and honest on the price. I totally recommend him.
Great service. Anthony was able to do the repair in the time sir we had arranged. Much easier with someone who can come to fix the car rather than taking to a garage.
I would not recommend this mechanic, total waste of my time. Claimed to not have ordered the right part from the internet, then claimed he will check the scrap yard about 7 days later. Job was never started on except he made the situation worst by putting a hole and the water tank. Communicate was poor and not very honest and upfront about the job. Stay away ..don't throw away money like I did!
Very good, would recommend and use again
Perfectly happy with the service, did a good job and got it done quickly, the day I posted the quote.
Good work will go back
Thank you to who can fix my car.com to put me through to the right garage to do a good job. Ardian was very helpful and my car problem was sorted in a very good price. Well done job by Ardian from Ardi Motors. Finally a big Thank you to who can fix my car.com Zafar Syed Leyton East London
Lovely service and friendly staff, honest and genuine with diagnosing problems with the car. Will be using Ardi again.
I take my cars to them few days ago. Problem solved. If i have any problem in the future, i will visit them. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Highly recommended! Many thanks!
Very nice person. He not only done the job but also told me different ways to keep my car in good condition. Thanks again,
Highly recommended garage. Very honest and professional with excellent customer service. Work was carried out to high standard, no unnecessary work done. Also carried out a health check on the car which most garages don't do. Have re-booked this garage to get more work done and would definitely be coming back in the future.
Highly recommended professional and friendly service. Parts were fitted in accordance with agreed competitive price. Would definitely use again.
Excellent Service.. Parts were fitted as described and the price agreed was a very good one. Would recommend this garage to everyone A+
Professional work, good price, excellent service would use again.thank you
Arrived on time. once fully repaired showed all replaced parts and only worked on once cleared with me step by step. Was more expensive than original quote and waited for the difference being so close to Christmas. Extremely satisfied with his workmanship, his thoughtfulness of entering into my home without boots on and his understanding along with politeness and was at no time badgering. I believe that this man conducted his business, which is gained via this site normally on distress of the vehicle owner. Thank you A&M.

Bouncing Czechs Too Much For Latvia

The border patrol agents aren't my favorite team. They could go down as one of the most arrogant and self-confident teams in history of the show. But their gesture to Bopper was nice
Gotta love Rachel's meltdowns. If Brendan had a brain, he'd cut bait and leave right now.
The border patrol boys are a force to reckon with! No missteps. They could win it.
I chuckled every time when one of the teams pronounced it Lude-wing, not Ludwing.
When I was in Germany in '95, we had the choice to visit Neuschwanstein or Eagle's Nest/Obersalzburg, Hitler's Bavarian retreat. We went to Eagle's Nest. From people I know who've visited Neuschwanstein, that walk from the parking lot to the castle is killer, and it's extremely crowded in the summer.
The border patrol team's true colors are starting to show. I used to really like them, but not so much these days.
Really disliking Art and JJ. They're a pair of arrogant pricks. Don't care much for Major Dave, either. A little condonscending to the wife.
I would've liked to have seen Nary and Jamie go further. They're a decent team.
Loved that the teams took the time to enjoy the safari.
Mark and Bopper are the luckiest sons of guns. I just had a feeling that this would be a non-elimination round.
And to be honest, I couldn't do the dance routine, either. White men can't jump or dance.
When Vanessa fell, I thought, hope she doesn't pop one of her breast implants.
For the record, I would've had my head shaven in a heartbeat.
Random thoughts on the finale:
* Glad Rachel finally grew a set and told Major Dave where to go a couple of times. His arrogance was getting on my nerves.
* I knew Vanessa and Ralph would be eliminated, judging from Vanessa's ankle injury. And that was before the closeup on the swollen and purple ankle.
* When it looked like Art and JJ had a chance to win, I handed the remote off so I wouldn't be tempted to throw it at the TV.
* I don't feel sorry from Brendan and Rachel. She has her Big Brother winnings still!
Enjoying this season so far. Fun to watch the simple little mistakes the teams are making.
Still too early to predict who might win. I like the rockers but they have to pay more attention to details.
I've stated this multiple times over the years, but I truly think Gary and Will are the luckiest team on the AR. At the bottom two weeks in a row and still squeak by. The Monster Truckers made an uncalled for play, IMO.
I had a feeling the Blondes would be gone because of one of their comments on the train about them being better/smarter/faster than the other bottom-dwelling teams.

Project Description
While fouling of the syngas cooler probably cannot be completely eliminated, it can be better managed. REI is pursuing mitigation technologies that include (a) periodic in situ tube cleaning with targeted soot blowing and (b) surface coatings that inhibit buildup of deposit material and provide easier removal of deposits. These technologies are being tailored for the conditions that exist in the convective syngas cooler used at coal gasification plants. The project team will acquire a new and improved understanding of the mechanisms governing fouling to form the basis for mitigation technologies.
Project Benefits
Coal gasification, in conjunction with integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power production, is under development to increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal-based power production. However, coal gasification plants have not achieved their full potential for superior performance and economics due to challenges with reliability and availability. In particular, performance of the syngas cooler located downstream of the gasifier has been an issue. The syngas cooler is a fire tube heat exchanger located between the gasifier and the gas turbine. The purpose of the syngas cooler is to cool the raw syngas from the gasifier and recover heat. Although it offers high efficiency, the reliability of the syngas cooler has generally been lower than that of other process equipment in the gasification island. Fouling of the syngas cooler can lead to poor performance, reduced equipment life, and increased maintenance costs. The fouling mechanism in the syngas cooler is not sufficiently understood to allow equipment vendors to develop a solution. Fouling is caused by vaporized and very fine solid ash from the gasifier depositing on the fireside surfaces in the syngas cooler. The fouling deposits occur in regions where the temperatures are lower than traditional sticking temperatures for coal-fired boilers. The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has partnered with Reaction Engineering International (REI) to develop technology to mitigate syngas cooler fouling. The target application for the soot blower technology developed in this project is for coal gasification plants producing syngas for power generation and for refinery and chemical production applications. If successful, the soot blower technology will improve the reliability and availability of coal gasification plants, thereby reducing the United States' dependence on foreign energy sources and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Goal and Objectives
The goal of this project is to develop technology to mitigate the fouling that occurs in the gasifier syngas cooler. In support of this goal, a combination of laboratory experiments, analyses of syngas cooler deposits, modeling, and guidance from industry will be used to (a) acquire a better understanding of fouling mechanisms and (b) develop and evaluate strategies to mitigate syngas cooler fouling, thereby improving the performance of the syngas cooler.

The Rest of 2010 – A Cheat Sheet
Posted on 12 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
As we covered in Friday night's Knicks/Wiz 5 things post, the real test for the Knicks begins today against the Nuggets at The Garden. Think the Knicks are for real? Tired of all the naysayers putting a damper on the greatest three weeks this franchise has had in over a decade by using the old "well, they haven't played anyone yet" line? That will all either go away or become stro...

Reviews for this host's other properties
Top: Great apartment overlooking the Strasse.Absolut gelegen.Sauber quiet and functional. Internet worked. Bad for double standards ok.Handtücher clean. Even a small bag with toiletries in the kitchen was provided. The walls were a bit too thin. The neighbors could be heard clearly. But that was not so bad because we were traveling as often as possible. Shortcoming. In the kitchen: no stove / oven Only an electric hotplate and a Mikrowellle.Kühlschrank hiding in the closet. Sofa had set up various spots ... prefer blanket underneath. Otherwise, almost exactly like the pictures. TV super old but works Top: Clearly the situation, the greatest boutiques round about, on the other great Agentinier Strassenseite.Bäcker only 2min entfernt.Supermarkt also very close!. Walk on foot from the Place des Vosges. With the wheels (station right in front of the door) can explore Paris super.
Top:Tolles Appartement mit Blick auf die Strasse.Absolut ruhig gelegen.Sauber und funktional. Internet funktionierte. Bad für franz. Standards ok.Handtücher sauber.
Auch ein kleiner Beutel mit Hygieneartikel in der Küche wurde bereitgestellt. Die Wände waren etwas zu dünn. Den Nachbarn konnte man deutlich hören. Das war aber nicht weiter schlimm,weil wir so oft wie möglich unterwegs waren.
Manko: In der Küche: kein Herd/Backofen. Nur eine elektrische Kochplatte und eine Mikrowellle.Kühlschrank versteckt im Schrank. Sofa hatte diverse Flecken...lieber mit Decke drunter rauflegen. Ansonsten fast genau wie auf den Bildern. Fernseher super alt aber funktioniert
Top:Eindeutig die Lage!!!Die tollsten Boutiken rings umher, toller Agentinier auf der anderen Strassenseite.Bäcker nur 2min entfernt.Supermarkt auch sehr nah. Zu Fuß lässt sich der Place des Vosges erreichen. Mit den Rädern (Station quasi vor der Tür) lässt sich Paris super erkunden.
Cosy, clean and spacious apartment (we were 4 people). Kitchen very well equipped. Location is top. Shops, starbucks and subway around the corner. Nearby parking in Clichy Montmartre (www.interparking-france.com 15 E per day). At night there is street noise in the living room. In the bedroom you hear nothing.
Wonderful and really nice place in an excellent district near restaurants and bars! Perfect for a family as well as friends! Host is very nice!
We arrived at the apartment around 23:00 hours. Total darkness and difficulty of finding lo.Higiene and heating deficit, only 2 fillings and very cold. Wiring damaged and dangerous. Lack of light inside the apartment. Difficulty bathing without wetting everything. The TV does not work! I complained on the first day and was so even. Written material found inside the apartment with the rules to be followed, which included handwritten that our checkout was 11:00 (AM) but at 10:00 (AM) when we finished closing the bags were grossly invaded by a Mr cleaning. As before you hire Eric asked to check-out a little later, we interpret the escrtito as a courtesy, but unfortunately received little polite phone call from Sonia.
Chegamos ao apartamento perto das 23:00 horas. Escuridão total e dificuldade de encontrá-lo.Higiene e aquecimento deficitários, apenas 2 acolchoados e muito frio. Instalação elétrica danificada e perigosa. Falta de luz dentro do apartamento. Dificuldade de tomar banho sem molhar tudo. A TV não funciona! Reclamei no primeiro dia e ficou por isso mesmo. Encontramos material escrito dentro do apartamento com as regras a serem seguidas, onde consta escrito à mão que nosso check-out seria às 11:00 (AM) mas às 10:00 (AM) quando terminavamos de fechar as malas fomos grosseiramente invadidos por um senhor da limpeza. Como antes de fazer a locação solicitei ao Eric um check-out um pouco mais tarde, interpretamos o escrtito como sendo uma gentileza, mas infelizmente recebemos telefonema pouco polido da Sonia.
We were there for 4 days, it is a terrific apartment, right on the park, totally close to the city, are the car remains, we did everything by foot and by subway. There are a lot of restaurants. Should we go to Paris again, I would rent this apartment once again. 1000 Thanks!
Wir waren für 4 Tage dort, es ist eine ganz tolle Wohnung, direkt am Park gelegen, total Citynah, das Auto bleibt stehen, wir haben alles zu Fuß und mit der Metro gemacht. Dort sind sehr viele Restaurants. Sollten wir nochmals nach Paris fahren, würde ich diese Wohnung sofort wieder mieten. 1000 Dank!
Great little appartment; lived up to expectations. Provided all you need for a short holiday stay in Paris. Good shops on Rue Bretagne if you want to pick up something to eat-in. Le Progress bar round the corner great for a drink and watching the world go by. 15 minute walk to Notre Dame and easy access to the rest of Paris.
It is a very Nice apartment and very good for a family with kids in all ages.
Accommodation cute! Support staff ready and helpful, the bathroom needs radical restructuring.
Alloggio carino! Personale di supporto pronto e disponibile, il bagno necessita di radicale ristrutturazione.
While this apartment has a great location in Latin Quarters, we didn't feel very welcomed by the host. Our plane arrived later than expected and it took us longer to get to the apartment. We called many times the number of the agent that we were given and asked to contact in case of delays. Nobody answered for two hours. The next door crepe owners were extremely nice and allowed us to use their phone and internet to try to connect with our hosts. An agent finally arrived and gave us a brief tour of the place. She looked too busy to spend time with us. The apartment was not bad, but definitely very petit. Bedroom was small with a smaller bed that is not long enough for a 6 foot person. The bedroom window looks out into an inner court with trash cans, which made it very loud every time one of the neighbors threw away trash. When someone walks outside the building, lights turn on automatically and illuminate the entire bedroom at night due to an absence of heavy curtains in the room. This apartment didn't feel like someone spent time preparing it for new guests. There were no soap left. Overall, it was definitely not worth the price and while waiting for the agent to arrive we found a hotel room in the area for less. When we asked via e-mail for an extra key since there were two of us staying at the apartment, we got a very dry and cold "no, sorry". Despite the discomforts of the apartment, we still enjoyed the convenience of its location.
The apartment was clean and was exactly as in the pictures. We didn't experience any problems with the host. The host was very nice and always available. Towels and sheets were provided. We had a pleasant stay in Paris.

I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Obama doesn't have to get down and dirty but he chooses to than he says it's not my fault it's the super pacs fault, of course obama called his donors and told them to give lots of money to the super PAC but he doesn't knnow anything about these ads. I would like to see him run on his record He should be man enough to say he doesn't agree with all the lies that are being told.

I have conducted several campaigns for public referenda. During campaigns renegades for either side tend to pop up. They often believe that either the opponent or your side are not being mean enough or orthodox enough or addressing the right issues. My experience is that these groups are beyond any control by the "official" campaign organizations because of that mind set.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
if they are beyond his control (seems everything is ) he can still make a statement saying he doesnt agree with what these ads or what Harry Reid said.
As for the 'Romney causes cancer', a statement might be helpful. But, who is going to believe that line in the first place?
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
The thing is... this ad and the other Obama ads are effective. Most folks who see them believe them; they don't make an effort to find out if they are factual or not. I mean... a president wouldn't lie or distort, would he? He wouldn't have people on his team who lie and distort, would he?
I am in the crowd that says...
Romney will release a year of tax returns if Obama will release his school records from Columbia that have been sealed.
Romey will release another year of tax returns if Obama will release his records from Harvard.
I am still wondering how a poor high school kid with poor grades got into Occidental and then got into Columbia and then got into Harvard.
I agree with you but thats what I mean why does anyone have to stoop this low especially someone who is supposed to be our leader. He should say this has gone far enough and run an honest campaign both sides should do this.
This ad has been proven to be a lie . Obamas deputy campign manager caught in a lie and it was put out by a former Obama campaign manager Obama needs to at least talk about it and say he is not responsible. He would score big points Im sure

Same thing could happen to Romney. Reid's statement is now 2 weeks old. The press won't let it die. The perception will be inevitably that Romney is hiding something. He has been promising to release two years of returns. He should make good on that as a starter. Ten years of records where he paid taxes ought to knock ol' Harry back in his hole for good.

Long time no blogging. I'm lazy, everybody knows. Besides, blogging takes lots of time, first because I have to think of something I want to write down. The second thing is, that my English could be better *g* Well, right now, there's not much to think about it, because there's so much to talk about what has happened the last 2 months. First, there's GUADEC which was a huuuuuuge success. I was quite worried the days before GUADEC, because communication could have been better (we're working on it). In the end our local helpers did a great job in making GUADEC rock! Thanks to all of them. I really love you :-) GUADEC was quite busy, I was mostly on my feets heading from one to another room. I wanted to make sure, that everything was in place. I met new people and this paid off; I'm quite happy...Everyone seemed to be happy. That's good... I volunteered to help out for next year's GUADEC again. It's been hard work, but enjoyable. I just want to make sure, that we'll do better in some areas.
I'm also very happy seeing that GNOME Deutschland e.V. is finally working. Our guys seem to be very excited about it. I think they've finally seen, what we're trying to do and that it will be for their own good :-) Currently, we're trying to get new sponsors like HP or Nokia (and others). The organisation of events has been much improved, mainly because of our superb wiki and our open mailinglists. Daniel Nümm is doing a great job designing logo's for CD's T-Shirts, etc. With the help of Andreas Müller we're now able to provide unique GNOME (Live)CD's for each event (and even more). Julius Bloch has done a nice job organizing LinuxTag. Murray also did a great job in motivating our guys. Thanks to all of you!
The next bigger shows will be Systems in Munich and LWE in Frankfurt. I hope that we'll again have lots of Ubuntu CD's and our own GNOPPIX ones. With the help of Mako Hill and Andreas Müller, this should be possible. We even might have our own unique Poloshirts; Andreas and I are on this. It'll work out :-)
Maybe we'll already have our new HP laptops there, who knows. Anyway, I think we're well organized now, though we can do better in some areas. That's not bad, with the help of our members this can be solved.
Let's rock!
...snow...finally (pictures coming soon)!
Originally, I wanted to post this as a diary entry. I just didn't pay attention. Advogato is so bad usability-wise...I feel quite bad now... :-(
I am just lazy and I really have so much time at the moment. Enough said..
As I already said, I'll be on vacation soon which makes me happy. It's so cold/boring here and the best thing is to get away :-)
At the time I'm writing this (11.00 in the morning) it's 27C hot where I'm going to. Compared to 12C in Munich this sounds much better.
Two days ago I filed an application for studying to the "Technische Uni" Dresden. I'm quite late because the application deadline ends today. Hopefully, I'm lucky; those universities in Munich have really become stupid (they reject you just because they think that you won't be successful at all -- bad days!).
If Dresden won't work out, I'll either try to work in the US or somewhere here in Germany. I'm really low on money and a company for which I was working for, still owes me a lot!
I try to be there...
Visited Countries
It seems to be quite common, to post a map of visited countries. Voila, for your viewing pleasure:
In exactly 18 days I'll be in Turkey again, although, I've been there 6 weeks ago. I just like the country... :-)
First quarter of 2004
Nothing interesting happened in January and February. I booked our holidays in Turkey (just because Natalie didn't like to pay around 700 for a flight to the US). On February 15th we went swimming, that's Natalie's Birthday.
On March 9th my grandmother died at the age of 81. To the day, I haven't seen her for 2.5 years. I should have visited her, but you never know what might happen and unfortunately, she died 3 months after the stroke.
On the day of my birthday (March 26th), Natalie and I went to the cinema in the evening (I had to work on the day, so there's just the evening). We watched "Lost in Translation" IIRC. Funny movie...Two days later we went swimming again (same location, just because it's cool there and -- well -- *cough* cheap).
What a waste of time/space. I was just trying gnome-blog here. Works fine so far. :-)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

The IDF Young Leaders in Diabetes (YLD) Programme was established to empower young people living with diabetes to become advocates for themselves and others living with diabetes worldwide. The Young Leaders are committed to raising awareness of diabetes by being a voice for prevention, access to basic diabetes supplies and education, quality care, improved quality of life, and in ending discrimination. The Programme identifies and supports the development of Young Leaders within the international diabetes community to empower and educate Young Leaders to support the mission of the YLD and IDF through strengthening our relationship with IDF Members.
On July 19 2016, IDF was informed of the resignation of several members of the Executive Council of the IDF YLD Programme. YLD remains a core programme of IDF and a critical part of IDF's advocacy efforts in improving the lives of young people affected by diabetes. IDF is in the process of introducing a new governance structure for the programme, including a globally representative committee of Young Leaders supervised by a Steering Committee appointed by the IDF Board of Directors.

Bush also seems to have a high rate of no gain plays. Of course some of it is the OL but I dont think he has great vision. Miller seems to have better vision and runs with more authority. Im all for resigning Bush but only to a reasonable contract. $5M per is too high IMO, especially if we dont utilize him better.
we might just get a hometown discount. if he reups for 4mill per, I say keep him. If he wants 5 or more a year, let him walk.

Data management plays a critical role in insurance operations. From new policy applications processing to claims management to auditing and compliance, insurance systems rely on massive amounts of information related to insurance products, consumers, and actuarial data.

The GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric offers a solution strategy for IT professionals in the insurance industry to support burgeoning data management needs and provide users fast and consistent access to enterprise data. GemFire's low-latency, high availability, and data distribution capabilities can be used to enable data grid deployments for risk computation and analysis of actuarial statistics. Successful grid deployments need a high-performance data fabric like GemFire to better utilize the compute power provisioned through these grids.
The GemFire suite of products can help accelerate and improve functions such as online policy issuance, claims processing, real-time marketing and sales support, auditing, and compliance within the insurance industry.
The hardest data management problems in the world?

text: Here's something you don't see every day: A cuddly fur seal killing and eating five enormous, deadly sharks. The extraordinary scene was captured off the coast of South Africa by divers Chris and Monique Fallows. "In more than 2,000 expeditions working with sharks over the last 21 years, this is the only time I have ever seen a seal kill several sharks," says Chris. "I can find no record of such an event happening elsewhere." Chris snapped away in amazement as the seal snacked on the first two sharks, chowing down on their stomachs and livers, and then killed three more.

Diversity From Above
Why It Matters
It's Not All About The Tropics
Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) have long been known for their beauty and size. But until relatively recently redwood forests were considered to be comparatively species poor. The shading effect of the tall trees, their high disease and fire resistance, as well as their ability to acidify soils around them were all thought to act in concert to keep overall ecosystem diversity down. In short, it was felt it was pretty hard to compete with these long lived trees in their environment. But this impression came from walking through redwood forests, not from looking up. As with many things in science and life looking back it seems obvious, but it wasn't and the first people to penetrate the canopies entered a world that had totally escaped everyone's notice. A world to rival the well touted diversity of the tropical rainforests; the world of temperate rainforests.
For those of you not fortunate enough to see these magnificent titans in person, watch this video to gain a feeling for what it's like to walk through a redwood forest. Take note of the number of different plants you can see on the forest floor. Look for the patterns which exist in this system.
Explore More
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What did most scientists expect to find when they first entered the redwood canopy?
- How thick can the soil become in the canopies of temperate rainforests? How does this depth compare to the height of planter boxes you may have seen?
- Who is the top predator in the canopy ecosystem? What important requirement does this ecosystem provide for this predator apart from prey?
- How does the detailed quantification of this ecosystem provide a solid starting point for future research? Was this basic or applied research?
- How much of the older redwoods is it estimated have been cut? No one knew about these canopy communities when much of this logging was being done (except probably the loggers), but now that we do, how do you think the ecosystem could be impacted by the practice of cutting older more financially valuable trees?
- What forests currently hold the record for the highest biomass on the planet?
