Ever wondered what one of the NHL's most lethal snap shots looks like in slow motion? Well, I've got you covered. Above is a super slow motion replay of Phil Kessel's second goal in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 5-2 win over the New York Islanders. The goal was Kessel's 400th career point. He wasn't the only Leaf to reach a milestone though as newcomer David Clarkson even got his first ever goal in the blue and white. Also, I just realized that Clarkson has very scary eyes like Maurice Richard. Related:GIF: Phil Kessel goes coast-to-coast versus the Devils**

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Real estate broker Samir Cabrera gets 10 years in prison
The man who earned everything too fast now has nothing — and time to spare.
Samir Cabrera, the disgraced Fort Myers real estate agent who made million-dollar deals before the age of 30, will spend the next 10 years in a federal prison after being sentenced on fraud and money laundering charges on Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge John E. Steele called the sentence "substantial."
"At some point, you could have stopped this," he told Cabrera. "I don't think you wanted to."
Cabrera, 32, will remain free until Oct. 2, the date of a hearing to determine restitution for his victims.
He showed little reaction as he stood before Steele. Cabrera's wife, Jessica Stilwell, dropped her head into her hands upon Steele's announcement. She embraced her husband, and they left the courtroom together without speaking to the press.
Steele's sentence falls in the middle of a range calculated over the past two days, when attorneys for both parties debated the terms of sentencing guidelines and attempted to define Cabrera's crimes before the judge.
Investor Tom Messina, who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the deals, said Cabrera deserved the 10 years.
"I think he should've started his sentence this evening," he said.
Cabrera bilked investors out of $2.8 million in a pair of property flips in south Fort Myers. Prosecutors said Cabrera's maneuvers resulted in the failures of both commercial developments and caused investors to lose everything.
In a prepared statement before Steele, Cabrera never admitted fault, but said he felt for investors who had "lost money, been hurt, have been stressed by all the things that went on with all these businesses."
He asked forgiveness from his wife, Stilwell, whom he called "loyal to a fault," and he asked Steele for leniency.
"I would like another chance to be a better person," he said. "I would like a chance to be a better father and a husband to my wife."
In her statement to the court, Stilwell, a former broadcast anchor, apologized to investors and asked that Steele consider the couple's daughters, twin 4-year-olds and a 2-year-old.
"He has a family, and his kids deserve a dad," she said.
Three investors spoke on behalf of the prosecution, with each requesting that Steele sentence harshly. The statements became personal at moments, with one of the investors asking that the court have someone monitor Cabrera's children.
Cabrera's likely appeal loomed over the hearing's two days. His attorneys fought every suggestion that their client acted with intent, and they questioned the provision under which he was convicted, the concept "intangible right to honest services."
"Mr. Cabrera was acquitted of defrauding investors of money," Cabrera attorney Russell K. Rosenthal said at one point.
Steele sided with prosecutors.
"The defense has attempted to try this case again at the sentencing hearing," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Michelland observed in his final statement.
Cabrera received three years supervised release to follow his prison time. He was required to forfeit $75,500 in funds considered proceeds from his crimes.
The October restitution hearing will determine how money will be split between Cabrera's victims. On Wednesday, prosecutors struggled to count the precise number of victims, placing it between 10 and 49.
Their total loss was calculated at $2,065,000.
Posted earlier:
Just before 6 p.m., Samir Cabrera was sentenced by the judge to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He also must forfeit $75,500.
However, he remains free until Oct. 2 when a restitution hearing will be held to determine how much money the victims will receive.

* * * *
Samir Cabrera is set to learn his fate this afternoon, in the second day of his sentencing.
A morning session today followed yesterday's eight-and-a-half hours of proceedings, much of it devoted to the refinement of guidelines by which he will be sentenced, as well as the debate over the severity of Cabrera's crimes.
The disgraced real estate agent was convicted in January of 11 counts of fraud and money laundering. Cabrera, 32, bilked investors of $2.8 million in a pair of land flips related to developments in South Fort Myers.
A federal probation report has suggested he receive 12 to 15 years in prison. U.S. District Judge John E. Steele will make the final call.
Attorneys for both parties have worked to sway Steele over the past two days. Prosecutors are asking for enhancements that could increase Cabrera's sentence, while Cabrera's attorneys have fought each request.
Steele will rule on the sentencing guidelines after lunch recess.
Arguments for victim restitution will be then be heard, followed by statements by Cabrera's victims, as well as his friends and family. The statements should represent a final step before sentencing.
Among the enhancements requested by prosecutors are those for abuse of trust, sophistication of scheme and Cabrera's acceptance of responsibility.
Prosecutors point to Cabrera's creation of a separate company for the land flip as evidence of the scheme's sophistication. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Michelland said the scheme surpassed simple mortgage fraud, which often involves a straw buyer faking an application.
"It's simply a piece of paper where they lie," he said. "This, your honor, it's not even in the same ballpark."
Cabrera's attorneys have fought that portrayal, as well as the notion that Cabrera never accepted responsibility.
They've also argued, in increasingly bold language, that when jurors found Cabrera guilty of defrauding investors of honest services, they determined he did not defraud anyone for money.
"Mr. Cabrera was acquitted of defrauding investors of money," attorney Russell K. Rosenthal told Steele at one point.
That distinction--between defrauding investors for money and defrauding them for honest services--could arise in Cabrera's future appeal.

Physical Medical Clinic Advanced Medical Weight Loss RX 's approach emphasizes a team dynamic by combining the expertise of medical doctors, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and chiropractors to provide clients with a complete roster of services designed to help them improve their health and lose weight. They treat patients who suffer from a wide range of issues from neck pain and balance disorders to hormonal imbalances and osteoarthritis. Appointments begin with a thorough consultation from one of the center?s board-certified physicians, who then prescribes the next steps for treatment. The team's specialties vary and include spinal rehab, laser therapy, and decompression therapy. They also offer services less commonly found at other medical clinics, including yoga, weight-loss management, and free seminars to discuss just how many apples per day keep the doctor away.
While everyone can check their weight by stepping on a scale, not everyone loses weight easily or the same way. At Good Life Nutrition, registered nurse and certified health coach Tracey Berry recognizes this, and provides her clients with personalized weight loss plans. Her regimens can incorporate custom meal plans, whole-foods-only cleanses, and noninvasive i-Lipo treatments, which slim body circumferences with low-level lasers, rather than by wearing belts around every body part.
Classes consist of a circuit-training workout that alternates 5-7 mins of cardio moves and strength segments using straps, bands, and the gravity of your stroller to work those mommymuscles®. You will burn fat, tone muscles, build cardiovascular endurance, improve flexibility, and most of all have fun with your baby/toddler
As a competitive bodybuilder and a molecular biology PhD, Carlotta Peters understands the value of healthy living from many angles. Carlotta and her associate Archer Shivers take an approach to wellness that blends book smarts with personal experience, giving clients a practical roadmap to meet their goals. They help clients build muscle and endurance through boot-camp fitness classes and encourage them to eat healthy by designing personalized meal plans.?
The experienced staff at Beautiful Body Laser understand that starting a weight-loss regimen can feel about as inspiring as alphabetizing your receipts. To help, they tailored three separate programs geared toward motivating clients while providing visible results. A body-detoxification program aims to quickly cleanse the body, leaving a blank slate to inspire continued healthy eating and fitness. Also offered is a doctor-designed weight loss program. Finally, lipo-laser systems such as Erchonia nudge the body into naturally flushing out fat in hard-to-shrink places, such as the lower belly and love handles.
Stepping into the lobby of Beautiful Body Laser seems more like dropping by the home of a hip friend than a professional med spa.
The team at Art of Image Studio want their clients to feel happy with their body, but not at the expense of surgery or radical dieting. That's why they re-shape physiques using noninvasive methods such as ultrasonic liposuction and cavitation, processes designed to shrink fat cells without breaking the skin. Similarly, sea-clay wraps work to slim waistlines by drawing out water, toxins, and fully inflated balloons.

No Riots if Kerry Wins
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:23am
I'm sure it was just a slip of the tongue, but it shows what the mindset of the campaign is. And they are accusing the Republicans of voter intimidation.
The wife of Dem vice presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday there will be no riots around the election -- if Kerry/Edwards wins!
C-SPAN cameras captured spouse Elizabeth Edwards making the startling comments to a supporter during a Kerry Campaign Town Hall Meeting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Supporter: Kerry's going to take PA.
Liz Edwards: I know that.
Supporter: I'm just worried there's going to be riots afterwards.
Liz Edwards: Uh.....well...not if we win.>>
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:29am
I don't care about riots, "real jobs", flu shots or draft rumors. This type of thing from both sides is just obnoxious.
For me, Bush's dismal record speaks for itself. I don't need anything else to influence my vote to get him the he** out of office.
ps. I just think that NEITHER party should be trying to take the high road so it amuses me to see something so stupid put out as some sort of illustration of character.
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:29am
Maybe it was an attempt at humor?
Honestly this voter intimidation thing in Florida is getting old too.
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:33am
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:39am
I am looking forward to the election being over. I don't care if Cheney got his flu shot. Maybe it will improve his disposition ;)
Both he and Clinton need it for health reasons so it makes sense to me.
But this "what do the wives say" garbage is out of hand. I don't care what Laura says or what any of them say. I'm not voting for them.
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:40am
>>For me, Bush's dismal record speaks for itself.<<
Can you be more specific?
|Mon, 10-25-2004 - 11:42am
"Uh.....well...not if we win"
Clearly she was caught off guard by somebody supporter's inane comment.

I didn't give accolades to any "obvious propaganda" posts. If you are talking about the reply to the stem cell one from Wen, then you are wrong. She wrote what is actually verifiable truth. The 'propaganda' is the attempt to make Bush look like a leader in stem cell research. To quote several here: Do some research.
I disagree with the Bush platform, I want not just him but several members of the administration gone, the country is NOT better off under his presidency, in fact, we're more divided than we have been in *years*, and he has proven himself inept at the big decisions. He needs to be gone.

Kaiser also is a leader in making extruded aluminum for car parts, such as anti-lock brakes and bumper systems, where demand has been strong, as well.
Despite healthy end markets, Kaiser has run into difficulties lately, as a glut of inventory for aluminum plate has formed in the aerospace supply chain. That has put pressure on pricing, which is weighing on the business. Kaiser's shares, which at a recent $68.85, have gained about 10% in the past year, badly trailing the broader market.
The coming year looks considerably stronger, however. As the excess inventory is worked down, pricing could improve. Helped by volume growth and more manufacturing efficiency, the company could see earnings jump. Its shares could return 20% or so in the next 18 months.
Stephen Levenson, an analyst at Stifel, Nicolaus, estimates earnings will rise 8% to $3.99 a share this year, and 9%, to $4.33 a share, in 2015. He values the stock at $80, based on an enterprise value of eight times his estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, toward the middle of its historic range. Kaiser pays a dividend of $1.40 a share, and yields 2%.
NEARLY 70 YEARS OLD, Kaiser filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002, driven in part by asbestos liabilities. The company emerged from the bankruptcy process in 2006, greatly slimmed down after shedding several businesses and cleaning up its balance sheet.
Kaiser shipped 560 million pounds of rolled, extruded, and drawn aluminum products last year to manufacturers and metals distributors. Aerospace products account for 50% of revenue, and automotive, 10%. Kaiser also makes alloy rod, bar, tube, and cast billet aluminum that serve a variety of industrial uses, and which contribute the rest of its sales.
Kaiser earned $105 million, or $3.65 a share, on revenue of $1.3 billion in 2013.
AN INVENTORY GLUT ISN'T unusual in the industry, mainly because of a long supply chain, which often leaves demand disconnected from supply. Last year Kaiser was pressured by an abundance of non-plate aerospace inventory.
Management sees the inventory overhang winding down this year and into 2015. CEO Jack Hockema spoke in a Feb. 18 earnings call about "the possibility that increasing airframe build rates could create sufficient demand pull to bring the total supply chain into balance by the end of 2014."
While much of Kaiser's business is contracted, the company also has significant exposure to spot prices. They typically fall when the market for plate becomes oversupplied, and rise when it tightens.
Underlying demand remains strong, which could drive aerospace-plate volume growth this year. Aerospace build rates are supported by an eight-year backlog at Boeing (BA) and Airbus (AIR.France), which includes orders for large planes such as the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350.

In the automotive market, North American auto builds could rise 4% in 2014, and Kaiser expects to see its aluminum per vehicle grow. The increased use will be driven by new-product launches, including a product for crash-management systems, as auto makers increase the aluminum content in cars to reduce weight and boost fuel efficiency.
The general engineering business, which closely tracks the economy, is expected to grow modestly. For the year, management has guided for mostly flat revenue, as weaker plate pricing offsets higher volumes of aerospace plate and growth in automotive products.
KAISER HAS BEEN IMPROVING operating efficiency and expanding capacity at its plants. A $45 million project was completed in December, and a $35 million project will wrap up in the second quarter. The latter, a new casting complex, could yield cost savings by the second half of the year, leading to higher profit margins. Companywide Ebitda margins have expanded to 23.7%, from the mid-teens in 2009.
Kaiser has a solid balance sheet, with cash of $299 million, and debt of $389 million. Free-cash-flow generation is also strong, with $15 million expected this year. The company has more than $700 million in past net operating losses, which will keep its tax payments low for years, allowing free cash flow to rise.
Management has been returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. It increased the dividend last week by 17%, and is boosting the repurchase program to $116 million. In the past year, the share count has been reduced by 6%.
Acquisitions are a possibility, too. In October, Hockema said that management is looking "almost daily, and certainly every week or so" at potential deals, but added that "we are very discriminating."
Such selectivity likely will stand Kaiser shareholders in good stead, while the company waits for its markets to swing back into balance.

By Julie Cockerham: On December 8, 2007, Amir Khan turned twenty-one. Most of Englands boxing enthusiasts were committed to celebrating another event. It was the same day that the pride of Manchester, Ricky The Hitman Hatton was gearing up for the fight of his life.
He had been chosen as the opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr., the boxer every boxer seems always to be after -- then and now.
Hatton fit the criteria. One can imagine that when Mayweather selects opponents, he concentrates on their shortcomings first.. If they are numerable and severe enough for him to take certain advantage of, theyre the men Floyd wants. Hatton provided those shortcomings and more. He was smaller, with a seven inch disadvantage in wingspan. But he also fought with a style that epitomized toughness and grit. The fact that his defense was negligible only emphasized his rugged image. He had an enormous following, and Mayweather knew that half the island would cross the pond with him.
Such inconvenient paper statistics were largely ignored prior to the fight. Fans wanted to believe that Hatton, with his unrelenting pressure and impressive inside fighting skills, would possibly be able to bully Mayweather into abandoning his impregnable fortress. Hattons capabilities were not questioned; his methods had been cultivated and utilized to their best potential. The fate of the fight was therefore hinged on only one unknown element: whether Floyd could become flustered by unrelenting aggression and finally fall victim to the contesting force.
Hattons often overlooked trainer, Billy Graham, had more insight into the realities of the super fight than he was given credit for. He had confidence in his fighter that was not undeserved; but at the same time, he knew the origin of Rickys best chance for victory. He knew it so well, in fact, that he went out of his way to protect it.
Saturday nights fight between Englands lauded prospect Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana shared a feature of that super fight from a few years ago. Both were refereed by Joe Cortez. The night of Hattons fight with Mayweather, Billy Graham was seen talking to Cortez when he came to the dressing room. Graham appealed to him to be aware of Hattons style, to be aware that he would burrow in to launch his inside attacks. The appeal was further justified by the fact that Hatton needed to find some way to compensate for the reach deficit.
Ultimately, that fight was marked by the characteristic performance of both fighters: Mayweather was the guarded sharp shooter, Hatton was the dogged aggressor. Graham was the trainer whose request went unfulfilled.
Its likely that Hatton would have lost regardless. Fighting a technician as skilled as Mayweather was always going to be a nearly insurmountable task for the defense-be-damned fighter. But in the bout, Cortez was no aid to Englands dream of capturing pound for pound glory. He interfered with the natural flow by not allowing Hatton to get too close to Mayweather, and breaking them during clinches too frequently. The bully wasnt allowed to bully, and he could find no other way to let his presence be known.
Amir Khan turned twenty-one on the day that England saw its aspiration for glory in the sport dashed.
He rushed up the ladder to vaunted heights quickly. A lean and elegant fighter, he has a style that can trick the eye. Thus far, it has proven to be both his greatest asset and his greatest liability. But Khan cant be accused of being any kind of impostor of a gifted fighter. Some have considered him to have been pushed forward too rapidly by those who want immediate gratification. Some of them have since learned. His arsenal might have flash on the surface, but it has been curiously tested before the tools within it have been substantiated. If he is to restore the hopes of his country that were dashed by the Hatton loss, more focus should be geared toward nurturing the promise that he shows.
The illusion was shattered for many in September 2008, when Khan faced Breidis Prescott in Manchester. Khan was heavily favored to win. In a shock upset, he was knocked out in the first round. Everything done subsequently has been a reaction to the resounding question of the veracity of his chin.
On Saturday night, Khan was given the platform to test his resiliency. The parallel to the super fight between Hatton and Mayweather saw a reversal of roles between Khan and Maidana. The former entered as the sleek boxer, the latter as the tough puncher. Supposedly, Khan wanted the fight to ease the doubts that he could be blown over by little more than a strong wind. But its doubtful that the fight was actually designated to challenge Khans chin; more likely it was to see if Khan could compensate for the lack of a dependable one. Restored confidence wouldnt necessarily come from withstanding blows to the head; it would come from the technical proficiency to avoid them in the first place.
When Maidana tagged Khan in the 10th round, he was affected. He stood through it, but he was affected by it. Maidana, for his part, was unable to finish the job. He tired from trying to match Khans mobility in the ring. With his constant movement, Khan was demonstrating a craftier, but less spectacular, facet of defense. He aimed to keep himself out of the line of fire of Maidanas shots. For someone with concerns for his chin, it was a wise ploy, but there is a difference in the ring between mobility and running. Joe Cortez again unintentionally assisted the sleeker fighter: when the two were in a clinch, he would break them up, even though an active fist was still free, doing its work.
Khan came away with the victory and with his WBA junior welterweight title still intact. But the fight didnt prove his chin to be a known quantity. He was staggered in the 10th, and might have been saved by the fatigue of Maidana alone. It suggests that a fighter with greater endurance, with greater speed and tactical aggression, could still pose a serious threat.
Khans trainer, Freddie Roach has leaned toward the idea of a possible bout with Mayweather in the not-too-distant future. Its hard to imagine he would be ready at this stage to fight the ultimate defensive artist. Rather, Khan is more like a version of Mayweather in development. He is lanky, fast, and loath to be struck. While he has gained a greater confidence in his chin, and reasonably so, he will not likely have complete faith in it for some time. With the way Khans handlers are directing their focus though, it can hardly be expected that he will have the time or practice to enrich that faith before he is thrown into the den of a greater beast.
Ricky Hatton was defeated by Floyd Mayweather on Amir Khans birthday, and while it could have hardly been considered a gift, it is ironically the countryman who may prove to be the fighter with the capability to mimic and recreate the style of the masterful Mayweather. With the need to compensate for an unreliable chin, he will sharpen his accuracy, choreograph a more balanced, effective kind of mobility, and mind the protection of his body rigidly. He will do this if he wants to gain fluency with the formula for further, more effortless wins. It is a formula that is practically impervious to peril when mixed properly. Mayweather has proven it time and again.
England may have lost in its quest for pound for pound supremacy in 2007. But much can be learned from the examples of both the vanquished and the victorious. Khan does not resemble his countryman Hatton in any way. He is better suited to a vague reflection of Hattons conqueror. But in that fight, the winning element was exposed. It was not contingent on heart or brute strength, but rather on the steady progression of technique, the beautiful mastery of form that separates boxing from scraps on the street.

December 15, 2013 was Bambinelli Sunday–Remember that? That was the day on which children from Rome and environs brought the Infant Jesus from their family creche to St. Peter's Square to be blessed by Pope Francis. I told that story at the time.
But that's not all the Holy Father did that weekend. He also stopped in on Saturday, December 14 for a visit at St. Martha's Dispensary at the Vatican. The maternal and pediatric clinic there serves mainly immigrants.
I just ran across this picture of that visit to St. Martha's, courtesy of The Boston Pilot–and I was charmed. I thought you'd like it, too.

Looking for information concerning a (Christopher?) Columbus Fogle, Pendleton, KY b. ca. 1847-1851 and md.. to Cymantha (Symantha) Laytart (Latart). They had a child born 1878 who was my g.grandmother. Her name was Millie Elizabeth Jane Fogle. Charlie Pyles (in his gedcom posted on the net) shows Columbus Fogle married to (1)Cymantha Laytart and then (2)Marie Burnett. Can anyone give me a clue as to how and where to find information concerning these individuals. SO far, I've just about struck out. I have loads of information about their descendants on my Beatty side of the family. Please post here or to Fogle Forum or Beatty Forum or Laytart Forum or contact via e-mail.

Election Roundup: What to expect on Tuesday
by Andrew Surabian
Political Director
After months and months of nonstop campaigning, we are finally just one day away from the election and there are a lot of things that tea party conservatives should keep an eye out for. First, whether or not the Republicans are able to finally take back the Senate from Harry Reid. To make that a reality, we must win 6 Senate seats tomorrow which most forecasters believe is more than doable; in fact, some are even predicting a Republican wave tomorrow, where conservatives could win upwards of 9 U.S. Senate seats.

Each week, we've featured your column, in which you've shared with us your interactions with local tea party groups across the country and your thoughts on this election cycle. What information this week do you feel is important to share?
I'm feeling very good about tea party success heading into election day, though I still want to remind folks why elections next week are so important as we really do need all tea party voters fully engaged if we're going to continue to make progress in restoring this great nation. Next week, we have a chance to finally elect a conservative majority in the Senate and rip the gavel out of Harry Reid's hands, preventing any further liberal judicial appointments by President Obama in his last two years. Whether or not our primary candidate made it, we HAVE to support the more conservative candidate in each race. Read More

Homemade Metal Melter
techketzer Channel: fucking-science
Here's a microwave oven transformer that's been modified into a dangerous little device. Now it can pump out 800 amps of electrical current, so let's use it to melt some metal!
Music by Jason Shaw (RP-PilotsOfStone)
Project inspired by: codemsan
WARNING: Burning galvanized metal may release toxic Zinc Oxide fumes. This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, cardiac arrest, serious injury, permanent damage to equipment and property, and/or death. Use of this video content is at your own risk.
By modifying the secondary coil on a MOT, the transformer is converted from a high voltage/low current device into a low voltage/high current metal melter. The first MOT in the video produces just over 500 amps, and the second one is capable of nearly 800 amps.
Any metal that can conduct such low voltage electricity acts as a resistor between the electrode wires, and heats up due to the extreme electrical friction.
I plan to make a new project turning this into a more proper and useful spot welder, although I can find very little use for a spot welder at the moment.

At 8pm (didn't say what time zone that was on the official site)
Are you ready to start your project?
|Thu, 02-09-2006 - 11:06pm
I think so. I am just going to use the yarn I have on hand to start. My goal is to do 1 square a night while watching the Olympics and that should give me enough time to piece it together before the closing ceremonies.
According to nbcolympics.com the Opening Ceremony broadcast begins at 8ET/7CT.

Export Finance:
Federal Efforts to Support Working Capital Needs of Small Business
NSIAD-97-20: Published: Feb 13, 1997. Publicly Released: Feb 13, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4128
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the current government programs that provide export working capital for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME), focusing on: (1) federal and state approaches for providing export working capital; (2) federal efforts to harmonize the export working capital programs of the U.S. Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) and the Small Business Administration (SBA); (3) issues associated with increasing the number of cooperative agreements with lenders and devolving greater responsibility for export working capital programs to the states; and (4) the potential implications of transferring SBA's export working capital program to Eximbank.
GAO found that: (1) Eximbank and SBA have programs that provide guarantees to facilitate export working capital loans for SMEs, however, the agencies emphasize different delivery approaches; (2) Eximbank implements its program primarily through a specific division within the agency and a network of lending institutions that have been delegated with authority for approving the agency's working capital guarantees; (3) SBA relies primarily on specialists with lending authority that it has assigned to the U.S. Export Assistance Centers network and on the agency's 69 district offices to implement its working capital program; (4) both Eximbank and SBA have established other arrangements with state and local offices to help administer their working capital programs; (5) eight states have export guarantee programs specifically geared to assisting small businesses which provide a wide range of funds, staff, and activity levels involving export financing for SMEs; (6) Eximbank and SBA have harmonized certain aspects of their export working capital guarantee programs; (7) while harmonization was underway, Eximbank and SBA made other changes aimed at improving their own export finance assistance programs for small businesses; (8) these efforts to harmonize and improve their programs appear to have helped simplify the lending process, increase the number and value of loans guaranteed, and expand the number of exporters and lenders who participate in the programs, however, some program differences remain; (9) to leverage federal funds and provide SMEs with more export financing, Eximbank and SBA have set up cooperative arrangements with both the private and public sectors; (10) Eximbank also has a pilot program underway that delegates lending authority to six state export finance organizations; (11) the potential to further expand cooperative agreements would be affected by various factors; (12) the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee proposed transferring SBA's Export Working Capital Program to Eximbank if harmonization efforts were unsatisfactory; (13) GAO identified a number of factors that would need to be considered before any transfer of program responsibility from SBA to Eximbank were to take place; and (14) these factors are: (a) some exporters currently served by SBA may not be served by Eximbank; (b) the Eximbank and its network of delegated authority lenders may not be accessible to some SMEs currently assisted by SBA; and (c) the consolidation of the programs may lead to only minimal cost savings.

Score from 514 reviews Very good
Room 208 disgusting! Broken mirror in bathroom, the toilet flusher fell off whenever it was pressed, it looked like mould on the shower wall and it was always stinking because water wasn't draining away. The carpet beneath the bed was all ripped and to top it off whilst closing the bedroom curtains one evening the rail and curtains fell from the ceiling onto my wrist causing bruising. We were moved room but despite all of the above no money off the bill, absolute joke. The hotel is miles away from the centre of if milan. The advert is very misleading. We got a taxi from central station which cost 35 euros ! it's tricky to find even the taxi driver got lost twice. From the hotel to centre it requires a bus 10 minutes roughly then the metro at least 20 minutes. I wouldn't recommend staying here at all.
Bus stop near the hotel. Really good breakfast
Rooms are not cleaned enought. Recepcionist aren't very helpful (except one old woman). There were bugs in my room, asked for a spray to kill them and they have nothing. Bathroom with broken light and damp in the ceiling
Nice place near canal (unfortunately dry canal), silent part of town, not in the center which is good as you can taste the real not the tourist side of Italy.
No WiFi in the room, WiFi only downstairs. Bar open only until 23:00, but that might be due to some Italian laws?

5 Smart Food Swaps That'll Help You Beat Those Cravings
It'd be nice if we always really wanted carrots and broccoli, but face it, that's not going to happen. At least there's a way to outsmart your appetite by going for foods with similar taste and texture.

From the Publisher"The variety of viewpoints and the author's evident intimacy with an ancient foreign capital [Budapest] are promising, and Ervin makes it plain that he is taking on weighty themes."—The New York Times Book Review
"Set in a madly grasping modern Budapest, literary critic Ervin's debut mines very different ways of achieving personal and artistic freedom in three neatly polished, interlocking tales. . . . With dexterous sensibility and fluid prose, Ervin's protagonists find liberation from the onerous strictures of Budapest's Nazi and Communist past."—Publishers Weekly
"A thought-provoking exploration of tyranny, freedom, and the power of music."—Booklist
"Ervin keeps his emotionally and politically fraught setting animated, thanks largely to his skill at inhabiting each of his characters . . . .[Extraordinary Rendition's] ending makes a poignant case for the power of art in an age of war."—Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Darkly evocative . . . the book has a prismlike quality; each story makes us see the city from a different but overlapping perspective."—Philadelphia Inquirer
"Andrew Ervin writes with an empathetic passion, near poetic words, daring politics, and a sensitive and mature grasp of his characters. This is a strong debut."—Chris Abani
"I can't decide what amazes me most about this book: the confident, muscular beauty of Andrew Ervin's writing; the breadth of his imagination; or the depth and diversity of his profoundly engaging characters. Again and again, though the force of the narrative drove me relentlessly onward, I would stop simply to marvel. Extraordinary Renditions is an extraordinary debut."—Julia Glass
"This tautly plotted, richly detailed trio of linked stories documents, with devastating and blackly comic ardor, the impossibility of simple morality in the rapidly aging era of terror. With Philadelphia and Budapest as his unlikely anchors, Andrew Ervin gives us crooked military men, postmodern artists, marauding skinheads and concert musicians, all rendered in nimble prose that never fails to shock and delight. An awesome debut."—J. Robert Lennon
"Through the eyes of three outsiders, Extraordinary Renditions takes the reader deep into the heart of Budapest, both its past and present. The whole city is here, the banks of the Danube brimming with history, intrigue, art, food, drink, and most important of all, music. His characters may be lost—even the one native is a foreigner—but Andrew Ervin is a sharp-eyed, sure-handed guide."— Stewart O'Nan
"There is a striking moral clarity—a certainty even to the questions the work poses—evidenced as these narratives ponder the long-form's grand themes. Being. Music. War. Love. Extraordinary Renditions' clear tenor hearkens the ancient masters of the novel in the most sublime way, even as it points toward that which is post-mastery."—Bayo Ojikutu
