Prague Areas 1 to 10
As most of "tourist" Prague is now divided into areas 1 to 10. It's worth shedding a little light on what to expect from each. For all references to the "river" direction, if you were standing on the Old Town side of the river and were facing the castle the river is flowing from right to left hence everything to the left is "upriver" and everything to the right is "downriver".
New Year Firework Cruise
As usual for this time of year, a fun 4 hour cruise with buffet dinner, live music and a complimentary bottle of wine to see in the New Year. You get a grandstand view of the fireworks being launched from Charles Bridge. It's cheaper than last year as well but limited to 200 places so it's first come first served.Book the New Year 4 hour cruise online to get 10% off listed price.
Prague 1
By staying anywhere in the Prague 1 district you will put yourself within 20 minutes walk of most of Prague's tourist attractions. The four main elements of Prague 1 are the Old Town, the New Town, the Lesser Town and the Prague Castle area.
Prague 1 contains the highest concentrations of accommodation, bars and restaurants. The Old Town is the geographical centre of Prague containing a lot of pedestrianised areas but the bars and restaurants are considered to be more expensive. The New Town encloses the Old Town against the river and includes both Wenceslas Square and Republic Square. The New Town is seen as being a bit "louder". Conversely the Lesser Town (and Castle) are considered the quiet areas of Prague 1. The Lesser Town (Mala Strana) and Castle are the historical centre of the city with few bars and no loud clubs etc.
Prague 2
South and south west of central Prague extending about 1km further than the Prague 1 boundary following up river. Extends around the east part of Prague. Includes the areas called Vinohrady and Namesti Miru. Well within the metro area. Common to find street names which are countries or capital cities around Namesti Miru. To the south this area ends at Vysehrad (Nusle) on the Prague 4 border. Currently in this border area you'll find the Fox apartments and the Hotel Union amongst others. On Vinohradska you'll find the Palac Flora shopping centre, the front of the centre is in Prague 2, the rear borders the New Jewish Cemetery which is Prague 10 and the next closest road is in Prague 3.
Prague 3
On one side it has a border with Vinohradska starting at the Jiriho z Podebrad Metro. On the far side it borders with Prague 8 and extending away from Vinohrady this becomes Prague 10. The biggest residential area in Prague 3 is called Zizkov. On the Prague 8 side it is accessible by bus and tram. Prague 3 is a working class area somewhat affected by petty crime in the Zizkov Area. I would not park around here overnight. On the Vinohradska side you have the Hotel Anna and Hotel Claris plus apartments on Slezka. On the Prague 8 side the main road is Seifertova and hotels in this road include the Victoria, Ariston and Olsanka.
Prague 4
Going upriver for 3km, on the other side of Prague 2 you come to Prague 4. Lower level accommodation (pensions and hostels) are largely grouped around Podoli and Branik on the river. The 4* hotels are around Pankrac/Vysehrad at the highest part of Prague 4. The river side has a tram and bus service only. From the city, heading towards Brno you leave Prague by crossing the Nusle Bridge and the far side of the bridge is Prague 4. On one part, Prague 4 stays close to the southern ring road, extends all the way around to the areas of Pankrac and Krc and finally to Branik on the river. The 5* Hotel in the Pankrac area is the Corinthia Towers. 4* Hotels nearby are the Panorama, Holiday Inn Congress Centre and Barcelo. There's a pair of 3* called Otar and Oya. Prague 4 is heavily residential and has metro stations from Vysehrad extending out 4km to Opatov and Haje (end of line). There are many small hotels and pensions in the area. At the far end of the area are the Hotel Opatov, Hotel Top (4*) and Euro Hotel (3*). The Opatov and Eurohotel are 10 mins walking distance from their respective metro stations. Top Hotel is about 20 mins but has a regular bus 115 service. It is most important to check transport details unless you want to spend out on taxis. The town of Hostivar marks the Prague 4/10 border.
Prague 5
We go back over the river for this area. Extending down river from Mala Strana all the way to Zbraslav about 7km to the south. On the far side of the castle it extends away towards the Airport. The bigger hotels in this area include anything in Ujezd (Roma, Riverside) or Andel (Andels Design, Movenpick) and Smichov (plus botels Admiral and Vodnik). The area is semi residential with some light industry. The last metro in the area is Smichov but the tram now extends to Hlubocepy which puts it a 5 minute walk from there to the Best Western Hotel Smaragd. Prague 5 is the biggest Prague area.
Prague 6
From the castle this area extends west and north to it's boundary with Prague 7. The most popular area is Dejvice with it's fast connection to the Airport and the Dejvicka Metro Station. Prague 6 is heavily residential and contains the highest concentration of Embassies and Consulates in Prague.
Prague 7
This area is to the north of Prague 6 and extends down river from Letna including the areas of Troja and Liben and Holesovice. These areas suffered in the flood of 2002. Troja is the home of Prague Zoo. The biggest concentration of accommodation is in the Holesovice area (Rivertown market). Hotels in this area include the Park Hotel Veletrzni, Extol Inn, Sir Toby's Hostel and the Duo. Holesovice train station has a metro but, most of the area is served only by bus and tram. Closest metro to the Duo is Ladvi (800m).
Prague 8
On the other side of the river from Prague 7 and the other side of the highway from Prague 1 you are in Prague 8. Most people know the area as Karlin although it begins at Florenc and extends down river past Ceskomoravska metro (O2 Arena). I've now written a special Karlin Area page to detail my experiences of working there between 2012 and 2014 in Karlin.
Prague 9
If you had continued out of Prague 8 then eventually it becomes Prague 9. Not much in the way of accommodation out here (only the hotel Diana and Arlington are worth a mention for their restaurants). There are concentrations of apartment blocks from Ceskomoravska (O2 Arena) until Cerny Most. A couple of large shopping centres and Industrial zones have developed over the last few years.
Prague 10
Prague 10 has borders with Prague 2, Prague 3 and Prague 9 and is the last Prague area before entering the Prague-East district of the Stredocesky area. It has metro stations at Zelivskeho, Strasnice and Skalka. Highest concentration of residential blocks is around Strasnice and Zahradni Mesto (Garden Town - all the streets have names of flowers). Most of the accommodation is centered around Strasnice and the street/area called Vrsovice. Hotels in the Strasnice area are the Comfort Inn, Juno and Hotel Slavia. All are 3*. At Zelivskeho is the Dorint Novotel (formerly the Don Giovanni).

There is really only one experience to rival that of starting your own business venture, and that's witnessing the birth of your child. Because I've done both, I find comparisons of certain parallels inevitable. For instance, you experience many of the same emotions: exhilaration, anxiety, joy, panic . . . and confusion.
Over the past 20 years, I've advised and counseled many business owners, particularly those in the start-up and high-growth early phases. All that experience has allowed me to recognize some patterns that successful-and unsuccessful-businesses exhibit.
Yes, the paradigms of several business models have changed in the past 10 years as a result of the dramatic influence of the Internet. But now that the Net has demonstrated its power to accelerate failure as well as success, the following seven deadly sins are more relevant than ever.

David Miranda: 'They Said I Would Be Put in Jail if I Didn't Co-Operate' (The Guardian)
David Miranda, the partner of the Guardian journalist who broke stories of mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency, has accused Britain of a "total abuse of power" for interrogating him for almost nine hours at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act. In his first interview since returning to his home in Rio de Janeiro early on Monday, Miranda said the authorities in the UK had pandered to the US in trying to intimidate him and force him to reveal the passwords to his computer and mobile phone. "They were threatening me all the time and saying I would be put in jail if I didn't co-operate," said Miranda. CJR / Behind The News Police confiscated his mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles. They did not arrest or charge him of any crime nor have they returned Miranda's possessions, according to The Guardian. BBC In Germany, Miranda had been staying with US filmmaker Laura Poitras, who has also been working on the Snowden files with Greenwald and The Guardian, according to the newspaper. The Guardian / Comment Is Free Alan Rusbridger: "In this work Greenwald is regularly helped by Miranda. Miranda is not a journalist, but he still plays a valuable role in helping his partner do his journalistic work. Greenwald has his plate full reading and analyzing the Snowden material, writing, and handling media and social media requests from around the world. He can certainly use this back-up." Politico / Politico 44 The United States was not involved in the detention of Miranda but was told it was likely that the Brazilian citizen would be stopped at London's Heathrow Airport, the White House said Monday. "This is a decision that they made on their own and not at the request of the United States," White House principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said. Earnest did, though, say that British officials had let their American counterparts know that Miranda's detainment was likely. HuffPost Miranda is taking legal action against the British government over his nine-hour detention at Heathrow Airport Sunday. The Guardian said it was "supportive" of the move but was not leading it. Alan Rusbridger, editor of The Guardian, told the BBC that there would also be a legal challenge about whether or not British police were entitled to seize Miranda's possessions.

Ohio courts would have to report certain mental health information for inclusion in a law enforcement database under a bill headed to the governor.
The House passed the measure on a 92-0 vote Wednesday. The Senate previously passed the bill.
Courts would be required to report to law enforcement agencies those who have been found not guilty by reason of insanity, or people who have been convicted of a violent offense and ordered to get mental health treatment.
The bill is named after a sheriff's deputy who was fatally shot two years ago.
Last week, following a news conference to announce a new health insurance mandate on treating children with autism, Governor John Kasich also addressed 'mental health' and it's connection to violence. He announced that five million dollars in new funding would be available to help Ohio families with intervention and counseling. WYSO's Jerry Kenney has more on the story.
Full episode of WYSO Weekend for December 23, 2012 including the following stories:
- Emily McCord reports on "Dropoly," a joint initiative from the University of Dayton and Energize Clinton County to help residents save money.
- Jerry Kenney speaks with Kent Youngman, CEO of the Greene County Mental Health and Recovery Board, about substances abuse and mental health issues and awareness in the area.

Dr. Eric Nakakura is a cancer surgeon who specializes in tumors of the pancreas, bile ducts, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. He also treats soft tissue sarcomas, including tumors of the retroperitoneum, trunk and extremities. At the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, he participates in the management of complex gastrointestinal tract cancers, soft tissue sarcomas and gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, including carcinoid and islet cell tumors.
Dr. Nakakura earned a medical degree at Stanford Medical School and a doctorate degree in cellular and molecular medicine at the Johns Hopkins University. He completed a residency in general surgery at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and was a specialist registrar in surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England. He completed a fellowship in surgical oncology at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Dr. Nakakura, an assistant professor of surgery at UCSF, studies endocrine differentiation in gut and gastrointestinal tumors and cancer stem cells. Highly respected by his peers, Dr. Nakakura was named to the list of U.S. News "America's Top Doctors," a distinction reserved for the top 1% of physicians in the nation for a given specialty.
Dr. Nakakura was recently awarded the 2012 Caring for Carcinoid Foundation-AACR Grant for Carcinoid Tumor and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Research based on the foundation's belief that his research would "significantly increase the understanding of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors."
he 2012 Caring for Carcinoid Foundation-AACR Grant for Carcinoid Tumor and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Research application you submitted was approved for funding. This decision was based on the relevance of your application to the mission of both organizations and a belief that your project will add significantly to the understanding of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Neuroendocrine (NE) tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract frequently metastasize. Surgery is often not possible for patients with advanced disease, and current therapies are ineffective for shrinking tumors and durable palliation of debilitating hormonally-mediated symptoms. Dr. Nakakura and his colleagues have as a long-term goal is to elucidate the transcriptional and signaling events critical to the pathogenesis of NE tumors of the GI tract, which can identify novel targets for diagnosis and treatment.
Developmental biology provides important clues and Dr. Nakakura and his fellow scientists have found that the same transcription factors and signaling pathways that function in the normal development of endocrine cells throughout the body also act to regulate NE tumor hormone production and growth, as well as metastasis. Their findings that conserved pathways of NE differentiation function in cancer have also shed important insight into normal gut endocrine cell development.
The group has ongoing studies to evaluate the role of proendocrine transcription factors and signaling pathways in normal and neoplastic gut using in vivo and in vitro model systems. In addition, Dr. Nakakura has leveraged his unique skills as a surgical oncologist to develop novel NE and other gastrointestinal cancer xenografts and cell lines, invaluable resources to the entire research community.
This work is complemented by studies of human GI NE tumors and of clinical studies of patients suffering from this disease. Dr. Nakakura is also active in bench-to-bedside (translational) studies aimed at earlier detection of NE tumors at at time when there is still the possibility of surgical resection. He is also investigating new and novel therapies for patients with advanced disease who have inoperable tumors.
Eric Nakakura, M.D., Ph.D. has been awarded the 2012 Caring for Carcinoid Foundation-AACR Grant for Carcinoid Tumor and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Research. Dr. Nakakura will receive $250,000 over two years to understand why some patients develop resistance to mTOR inhibiting drugs like everolimus. In particular, he will focus on INK128, a new mTOR inhibitor to see if it can overcome this resistance in mouse models of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer. He will also evaluate the utility of (68)GA-DOTATOC PET-CT to monitor tumor response to mTOR inhibiting therapies like everolimus and INK128.
In its most recent survey, U.S. News in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. listed twenty-five (25) surgeons in the UCSF Department of Surgery, nearly one-third (1/3) of the clinical faculty, on the list of U.S. News "Top Doctors". The list, compiled from the opinion of colleagues, denotes the top 10% of physicians within a region practicing a given specialty. Fifteen of the 25 department surgeons were also named by their peers to the list of America's Top Doctors (ATD), a distinction reserved for the top 1% of physicians in the nation for that specialty. The listings are published online at U.S. News. The group rankings are intended to guide patients in selecting a doctor and physicians in making specialty referrals.
Then post-graduate student Eric Nakakura, M.D., Ph.D., working in the lab of Johns' Hopkins cancer biologist Barry Nelkin, was struck by how the migration of neurological cells to form the developing brain bore an uncanny similarly to the inexorable migration of invasive cells to distant sites in cancer metastasis. Today, the insight of Dr. Nakakura, now an Assistant Professor in Division of General Surgery and Surgical Oncology Program, forged with postdoctoral fellow Chris Strock, has led to the discovery that an enzyme known as CDK5 and a pathway, RAL, play key roles in the ability of cells to migrate, form cancers and metastasize. This finding may be significant in the development of targeted biological agents against pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal malignancies among solid organ tumors.
UCSF researchers, led by Doug Hanahan, Ph.D. (left), have identified collections of tiny molecules known as microRNAs that affect distinct processes critical for cancer progression. The findings help elucidate the important regulatory function of microRNAs in tumor biology. Eric Nakakura, M.D., Ph.D. (right), a surgeon-scientist who treats patients with challenging pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, was on the team that validated the findings, which were based on an exquisite mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Many of the same altered microRNAs in were found to be present in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This represents a major advance in our understanding of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor biology, one that might be exploited to better treat patients.
"Surgery for pancreas cancer is long and demanding, and surgeons must be practiced to consistently perform it well. Pancreas cancer surgery outcomes are better at high-volume, major medical centers such as UCSF, where surgeons can specialize - perfecting and maintaining skills and deepening their experience and judgment." UCSF surgeons Kimberly Kirkwood, M.D., and Eric Nakakura, M.D., Ph.D., achieve outstanding outcomes for standard procedures and also perform operations rarely offered elsewhere for select patients who would otherwise not meet criteria for surgical treatment.
"Soft tissue sarcomas are extraordinarily heterogeneous, so experience is particularly important when deciding among treatment options," says medical oncologist Thierry M. Jahan, M.D. (pictured right). At UCSF, referring physicians typically send patients with painful, growing soft tissue masses to orthopedic surgeon Richard J. O'Donnell, M.D., and general surgeon Eric K. Nakakura, M.D., Ph.D, (pictured left). If their initial examination convinces them that there is a sarcoma concern, they move on to a staging workup that includes various imaging modalities and, eventually, either a needle or incisional biopsy...."

ORLANDO – Arriving fashionably late (as always) to the annual AFC Coaches Breakfast, Bill Belichick threw down his Florida Gators visor and, with a slight grin, welcomed the overflowing crowd of media surrounding his table. He was, as always, the most sought-after quote at the AFC gathering.
First topic of discussion was a predictable one: the signing of All-Pro cornerback
"I think he'll help our team," the head coach began. "He's a good player, does a lot of things well, looking forward to working with him."
Belichick was asked if he expected Revis to become available this off-season (he was eventually released by his former club, Tampa Bay) or if that was an audible the team called once free agency began.
Check out a selection of the photos of CB Darrelle Ravis. VIEW

Belichick also touched on the signing of another corner,
"I'm glad we were able to work things out with Julian. It's been an on-going process, glad it was resolved. [He's a] good player who is versatile, does a lot of different things for us, works hard, he's tough, and he's developed all the way through our system. He came in not as a receiver, not as a punt returner, [but] he's developed into being pretty good at both those things, so, glad to be able to keep him.
"[LaFell] was a productive player in Carolina, had some skills that we liked when he was coming out of LSU, we'll see how it goes… obviously felt he was a good player and that's why we signed him."
"That's something you have to talk to Vince about. I'm not gonna talk about anything with any of our specific players, I'm not gonna get into that," he stated, adding a cautionary, "You need to talk to him about any of those statements. I think you should verify first."
The final free-agent-related question of the morning revolved around two players who left the Patriots and comments they made subsequently. Cornerback Aqib Talib (now with Denver) and linebacker Brandon Spikes (a Buffalo Bill today) both have said publicly since their departures that they had experienced a different type of injury-reporting protocol while in New England.
Belichick's response was terse and to the point.
"I don't agree with that. No. Never."
And when a reporter asked about the health status of All-Pro tight end
"Are you seriously asking that question?!"
The tension was broken later, though, when another reporter asked why he didn't appear in the annual photo featuring every head coach, both AFC and NFC at the start of the meetings on Monday.
"Yeah, I missed it… maybe you can Photoshop me in there," he grinned.
Coming soon, Belichick's full remarks about the four rules change proposals he submitted to the Competition Committee this year.

Topic Outline
Traumatic hyphema, or blood in the anterior chamber, is a common complication of blunt or penetrating injury to the eye and can result in permanent vision loss. The goals of initial assessment include recognition and characterization of the hyphema and identification of associated orbital and ocular injuries. Although discussed separately, the assessment and management are performed jointly in practice (table 1).
If ruptured globe is suspected, then emergent consultation with an ophthalmologist is critical to help preserve vision. In addition, optimal outcome following a hyphema depends on early ophthalmologic intervention focused on prevention of rebleeding and avoidance of intraocular hypertension. In most instances, patients recover with vision intact. Vision loss is more likely in patients with large hyphemas, sickle hemoglobinopathies, or bleeding dyscrasias.
This review covers the clinical features, initial and definitive management of traumatic hyphema. Epidemiology, anatomy, and pathophysiology are covered elsewhere. (See "Traumatic hyphema: Clinical features and diagnosis".)
A rapid overview summarizes the important clinical features and initial management of traumatic hyphema (table 1).
History — Vision loss and eye pain are common presenting complaints in patients with a traumatic hyphema. In addition, nausea and vomiting may accompany this injury [1].

The Jewish Federation of San Antonio's Community Relations Council and Holocaust Memorial Museum and the San Antonio Chapter of the Federal Bar Association will sponsor Raymond Dowd's exciting tour of one of history's great puzzles.
In 1998, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau seized Egon Schiele's Dead City and Portrait of Wally at the Museum of Modern Art, creating a scandal that changed the legal landscape of Europe and the United States for victims of Nazi persecution and their survivors. Mr. Dowd represents the heirs of Fritz Grunbaum, a Jewish cabaret performer murdered in the Dachau Concentration Camp. Fritz's wife Lily died
in the Minsk Death Camp. Grunbaum's art collection surfaced in Switzerland in 1956 under disputed circumstances, and led to the first Holocaust-era art recovery trial in U.S.history, Bakalar v. Vavra, but the intrigue was far from over.

10 Biggest Christmas Blockbusters of All Time
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- During a holiday season of Thanksgiving night store openings and Christmas retail and restaurant encroachment, movie theaters continue to get a pass from the merry masses.
Many of the same folks who hated seeing Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) extend Black Friday to just after Thanksgiving dinner and cursed McDonald's (MCD) for telling franchisees to consider opening on Christmas Day have no problem with Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), AMC Theaters, Carmike Cinemas (CKEC) or Cinemark Theaters (CNK) calling in employees, throwing open the doors and debuting movies. This year's lineup is particularly robust, with Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, the Seth Rogen/Barbara Streisand comedy Guilt Trip, Judd Apatow's This Is 40 and the musical Les Miserables all being released on or just before Christmas.
Since the turn of the millennium, the cinematic holiday season has transformed from a quiet little collection of family films and Oscar contenders to blockbuster territory. According to BoxOfficeMojo, the movie industry's holiday season -- which starts on first Friday in November and ends on New Year's week or weekend -- first passed the $2 billion mark in 2000. That season, the Jim Carrey live-action version of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas pulled in $260 million on its own.
Disney's (DIS) Toy Story franchise and James Cameron's Titanic helped nudge the industry in this direction during the '90s, but The Grinch increased Hollywood's holiday output from 63 films in 2000 to 107 by 2007. The number of films released has since plummeted and the annual holiday take has decreased in five of the past seven years, including a 39% downturn so far this season.Can this year's Christmas crop help the industry recover? With help from BoxOfficeMojo, we looked back and found 10 examples of films that not only cleaned up on Christmas Day, but helped boost the overall box office take by prying Christmas-minded folks away from their pumpkin pie and piles of presents:

FILE - In this Nov. 16, 2012, file photo, President Barack Obama acknowledges House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio while speaking to reporters in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, as he hosted a meeting of the bipartisan, bicameral leadership of Congress to discuss the deficit and economy. Admnistration officials say President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Sunda, Dec. 9, 2012, at the White House to discuss the ongoing negotiations over the impeding "fiscal cliff." Spokesmen for both Obama and Boehner said the two men agreed to not release details of the conversation, but emphasized that the lines of communication remain open. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he is prepared to do "tough things" for a "fiscal cliff" deal and says there is no reason for the talks to fail.
The president said he remains optimistic that a deal can be done, even though talks have reached a standstill.
Negotiations between the White House and Boehner's office on a deal to raise revenue and cut spending have stalled since House Speaker John Boehner decided to seek a vote in the House on a narrow bill that would raise taxes on taxpayers earning more than $1 million.
Obama has proposed raising the top tax rate for those earning more than $400,000 along with savings and spending cuts of $1.2 trillion.

P&G gets Guilford incentive
Two commissioners representing High Point came down on both sides of the incentives debate Thursday as the Board of Commissioners approved a $975,000 incentives package for Procter & Gamble on a 5-4 vote.
The consumer products giant wants to spend $100 million to improve its Greensboro plant and hire 200 more workers. Earlier this week, the Ohio company also won a $961,000 incentive from Greensboro City Council.
While Republican Commissioner Bill Bencini of High Point said nothing about his vote against the incentive, Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point praised P&G and said the company deserved another "investment."
In 2007, P&G got slightly more than $1
million from Greensboro, the county and the state for a $19 million project that created 25 jobs.
"We have to do something to create jobs," Davis said. "This is an investment, not a gift. Wouldn't you put your money into something that would give you a good return?"
Davis voted along with the board's three other Democrats in support of the incentives package as did Chairwoman Linda Shaw, the only Republican on the board to support the incentive.
"This is an investment in jobs," Shaw said. "I support jobs. Too many people out there need jobs."
The new jobs would initially pay slightly more than $52,000 a year, higher than the average local annual salary of $40,196.
P&G will continue to pay taxes during the three years of the incentive contract. The county will pay a portion of the grant each year as P&G adds jobs.
Dan Lynch, president the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance, said that the county will recover grant money in two years because P&G will pay higher taxes based on the increased value of the plant. P&G will spend about $30 million on property improvements, such as a facility expansion or land purchase.
Incentive opponents argue that it is not certain that local taxpayers will recover the nearly $2 million for the deal. Any state incentives were not mentioned during a public hearing.
"Some businesses pull out after they get incentives," said Republican Commissioner Jerry Alan Branson. "I can not support corporate incentives."
Instead of providing incentives, the county should instead reduce property taxes, said Republican Commissioner Jeff Phillips. With just a slightly lower property tax rate, P&G could save more than $1 million in the next few years, Phillips said.
"We want all property owners to win," Phillips said. "We have to understand that we are responsible to the taxpayers."
At the plant at 6200 Bryan Park Road, P&G makes Old Spice, Fixodent denture adhesives and the Secret, and Gillette brands of deodorants and antiperspirants. A plant on Swing Road makes other P&G brands, including Pepto-Bismol, NyQuil and Vicks products.

Longtime fans might be disappointed that so much of Forever If Ever is included here, but with McLaughlin's jump from indie to label waters, these are the breaks. –Matt Conner WE LIKE: "Summer is Over" WE LIKE: "Dive" BRITT NICOLE Gold (Sparrow Records) FOR FANS OF: Jaci Velasquez, Selena Gomez QQQQ Following the smash success of her album, The Lost Get Found, Britt Nicole returns with her latest, Gold. There are some shimmering moments on this project, particularly the CCMMAGAZINE.COM

Hey i'm Kennyannydenny and i'm an administrator here on the wiki. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. I work hard to make sure there will be an article for every NPC/Beast in Skyrim. And I add to Morrowind pages. I joined this wiki after buying Skyrim for the Xbox 360. Later, I obtained Morrowind for the pc and Oblivion for the Xbox 360. I've played Skyrim quite some time and buy every dlc on the first day possible. I've spend a total of 694 hours and twenty-eight minutes for my character.
Unfortunately I can't make any good pictures of characters, because I only have Skyrim on the Xbox 360 and making a photo of a TV screen becomes really ugly. So sorry, but every page of Skyrim that I make, still needs a picture added. I can make pictures for Morrowind.

Skyrim Character Edit
My Skyrim character is a Redguard born to be a fighter with sword and shield. After a long time he bought every house available in the game and married Jordis the Sword-Maiden and stayed to live in Solitude. Later, he moved to Lakeview Manor with his wife. He keeps Lydia as his steward there and adopted Runa Fair-Shield and Lucia as his daughters. They got Sceolang and Cotton as pets. Together they live happily with the bard Llewellyn the Nightingale and the carriage driver Gunjar.
His house consists of an small entrance with a large main hall behind it. Build against the building are a kitchen, trophy room and a greenhouse.
He tries to collect every unique item ingame, but has lost some of them through stupidiness (selling them and loosing them forever).
He collects weapons, misc. items, quest items, food, ingredients, as long as it is unique (except for books).
He mostly spends his time in Whiterun where he has invested in all the shops available. He sells all his items there, especially at War Maidens. He just became lvl 78 and raised most skills to lvl 100.
All the possible quests, have been done by him, including the quests for the Dawnguard. He has been through every dungeon in the game and cleared them all at least once.
He became leader/member of all the possible "clubs", College of Winterhold, Companions, Bard's College, Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood.
The Redguard recently started travelling to Solstheim and uncovering any secrets there. He's still in the process of doing this.
