FREMONT, Calif. -- Zosano Pharma, Inc., a privately held pharmaceutical company developing products based on its novel transdermal delivery technology, today announced that the company has closed a new round of financing in the amount of $30 million.

The results demonstrated that daily administration of all three doses of ZP-PTH for 24 weeks resulted in a significant gain in BMD of the lumbar spine over placebo (p<0.001). The ZP-PTH 40 mcg patch, which effectively delivers 16 mcg of PTH, was similar to a Forteo 20 mcg injection, in mean percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD (4.97% versus 3.55%). Importantly, treatment with ZP-PTH 40 mcg also showed a significant increase in total hip mean percent change from baseline in BMD (+1.33%) compared to placebo (-0.634%) and Forteo (0.094%), both at p<0.05.

Anesthetist vs. BSN programs
- 0Dec 10, '02 by eb0lagirlI've read several postings on how rigorous the nurse anesthetist program is. Currently, I am doing a one year accelerated nursing program (BSN) and I was wondering how comparable the two programs are. This accelerated program is very challenging and time consuming, and I wanted to know how tough the nurse anesthetist program is in relation to it (academically and in terms of hours per week).
Thank you,
- 0Feb 27, '10 by goodguy123Hello,
I am accepted into 2 accelerated nursing programs and one of them is Bellarmine. I am still undecisive on which one I will attend. Can you provide some advice (good/bad) on Bellarmine. Is it extremely tough academicall? how are the professors? how are the classes? does it require you to take a HESI for graduation? How many students haved failed out thus far in your program?
Any information would be helpful.
- 1Feb 28, '10 by Class2011I took an accelerated 2nd bachelors before becoming a SRNA. I find them about equally difficult and time consuming
The main difference is that my SRNA program is not part of a nursing department and we don't have any mind numbing nursing theory to cover (that's not to say we don't have our share of useless courses--drives me nuts)
- 0Feb 28, '10 by aCRNAhopefulI don't have any experience with accellerated BSN programs but I think the biggest difference would be the scientific depth of the content. As I'm sure you are aware, the CRNA program will go much deeper into hard sciences and expect a much deeper understanding of physiology/pathophys. I have often heard that number of hours spent per week to be around 60 for a student in a CRNA program. I'm sure that varies.
- 0Mar 1, '10 by wtbcrna, MSN, DNP, CRNA GuideQuote from eb0lagirlAll initial military contracts are for 8yrs. Usually 3 or 4 yrs active duty and then the rest is inactive reserves where you could be called back into AD at any time.I'm doing the accelerated program at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY. I was going to join the army or air force for a year or two (doing something in critical care) and then perhaps go to Cal State Fullerton for CRNA.

I was browsing Ebay and came across a Shogun with the old Shimano 600 Arabesque Groupo. I put in a $120 bid on a whim. When the bike arrived I took it for a spin and instantly loved it. I I built up some wheels on some old Phil hubs and put on a wide range freewheel and a triple crank. I now have my favorite bike of all time.
What I like about my Shogun: Stiffer and more responsive than my 1980 Raleigh Competition. Super smooth with Phil Hubs (Phil bottom bracket is on the way). Lavender-Pink is more fun than the Raleigh's Gray. Shimano 600 Arabesque is way Retro cool. The only problem is that it's not Reynolds 531, but I don't think I'll change my screen name to Tange Champion Number 2.
I like the Shogun so much that the old Raleigh got parted out. I now have a nice slush fund for my next project.

I'll be writing a weekly column for NBC Sports this year taking a statistical look at the Sunday Night Football matchup. After the Colts got to him four times in last year's game, the first one is on Peyton Manning's ability to avoid sacks.

The NFL has suspended Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker for four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that Welker tested positive for the use of amphetamines.
NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal reports that Welker's appeal was heard two weeks ago.

Hey kids, B.S. Report!

It's time for the TENTH ANNUAL Football Outsiders Open Loser League competition. Yes, tenth. Kind of nutty. And we haven't changed the rules at all in all that time. Even though we probably should. We're lazy that way. Come pick your roster of bad (but not bad enough to get benched) players for the first half of 2014, with a shot at winning free fantasy projections for 2015. Let's see how many of you can do this without Trent Richardson on your team.

Hello old friends!
As you may have heard, there was a massive shakeup/purge at Sports on Earth back on August 4th. I was part of a skeleton crew retained by Major League Baseball Advanced Media after USA Today pulled out of our venture, but while I was thrilled to be given the chance to keep working, I fit in to the new reality about as well as a Yankees quarterback. It was obviously in my best interests to move on.

Oprah and her network OWN are looking for interns — undergraduates and graduate students. The program will last for 10 weeks and not only will it be a college-learning experience, the internships are paid. Though they are in California, it's a great opportunity for a student to make that next step into their dream gig.
Internships are critical when it comes to creating job opportunities. I was the intern that never left – literally. I went from being an intern to a part-time assistant, to part-time radio personality until a full-time door opened. Now as I continue to grow in this business, I feel like my path has been long but I have learned a lot. And it all started with an internship!
An internship is a remarkable opportunity for students to garner hands-on experience while taking advantage of networking opportunities. The key is, knowing how to use the opportunity correctly. I know a beautiful young lady who interned at the same time as me. In fact, we both worked at the same job and I'm the one who told her about interning at KPRS/KPRT. The problem was she thought she was too pretty for the grunt work and didn't last beyond two weeks! I knew when I eventually got my foot in the door I would reach back and help another college student in this field – particularly a female.
But I have learned not everyone is open to receiving advice. I recall a potential intern telling me her goal was to get a job where "she could dress cute." As a woman who has faced some serious sexism and attacks in the industry, I knew right then and there I could never pour into her. Why? First impressions matter. Her thought was she could be so cute and uber- sexy, maybe meet some rappers, and her appearance would make her an ideal candidate for this field. It actually ended up being her downfall. (Pretty can only take you so far and when another pretty chic comes, then what?)
Didn't mean to get off subject but it is important to make the most out of educational opportunities – including internships. You never know- that internship could open a door in a way you never imagined. Stanford University offers some good strategies for making the most of your internship.
(From "Tips for a Successful Internship" via Career Development Center for Stanford University.)
Communicate Effectively and Often: Know what skills you can offer and meet with your supervisor to discuss ways to utilize your existing skills and gain more skills. Let your supervisor know, in a constructive and positive way, if you feel your skills aren't being used to their potential
Set Goals: Sit down with your supervisor and go over what you hope to gain from the internship, especially if the internship is somewhat unstructured. Follow up to make sure you are meeting those goals and set new goals if necessary
Observe: Get to know the corporate culture, dress, communication style, and how decisions are made. This will help you avoid saying the wrong thing or overstepping your boundaries
Know Your Role and How You Fit into the Organization: The organization is taking time to teach you new skills, understand what is expected of you and perform competently
Be Flexible: You may have to do some "grunt" work; that's the trade-off for the skills that you are gaining. Make sure there is a balance between "grunt" work and pre-professional responsibilities, if the balance becomes uneven, discuss with your supervisor how you can better apply your skills in the organization
Be Responsible: Be on time, take your assignments seriousl, and meet your deadlines. Organizations will often hire interns for future full-time positions, and will look closely at your performance and attitude to decide if you are a candidate for a full-time position
Take it All In: Learn as much as you can about the industry and organization by reading what is around you, talking with everyone, and volunteering for extra projects
Network: Talk to as many people as you can. Introduce yourself to everyone. Seek out a mentor who may or may not be your supervisor.
Keep in Contact: Keep in contact with those you have met so when it comes time to look for a full-time job they will remember you.
Those are all some great points to lead you in the right direction. I also want to point out Nikki Turner, a writer for Clutch Magazine. She recently wrapped a successful internship at Essence magazine – which is a major honor. An important aspect some forget is doing the pre-intern work of cleaning up your online image:
Prior to applying for the internship, you should make certain your online profiles are aligned with your future goals. By now we all should know inappropriate photos/videos of oneself on the World Wide Web is a major no, no. You may believe your privacy settings are top-notch, but it is no match for the tech geek who was hired to break down your firewalls. Also, Google yourself approximately three to six months to see what message you are sending to potential employers. If you have a blog ensure it is a dotcom, create a logo, even if it's a simple emblem with your initials. These meek, but cost-friendly steps show potential employers you are a boss babe who should be taken serious! The little things do matter. (From "How to Successfully Land that Internship" by Nikki Tucker via clutchmagazine.com).
Put your best self forward and do the work. The end result will be worth it! #InternToEmployee

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
The United Kingdom's very first National Park can be found on the westernmost peninsula of Wales, incorporating most of the coastline around the mainland and a number of small islands just offshore. A day trip by boat to Ramsey Island is a great way to spot some grey seals and seabird colonies, while a short journey to Caldey Island gives you the chance to tour its Benedictine monastery. Of course, its geographical position means that beaches are in abundance: the most notable are found in Tenby and Poppit Sands.

Paige: Broncos' John Elway should be NFL's executive of the year
John Elway must be voted NFL executive of 2012 by acclimation.
Yet, astonishingly, two years ago this week, influential voices inside and outside the franchise believed owner Pat Bowlen would be making a monumental mistake to bring back the most heralded player in team history.
They considered it a desperate act of foolishness and failure.
Instead, with Elway as the dynamic executive vice president of football operations (and de facto general manager), the Broncos will win back-to-back AFC West titles for the first time since 1986 and 1987 (and only the second time ever). And they have a chance at a seventh Super Bowl (five with Elway at quarterback).
The Broncos will win their eighth game Sunday, 31-13.
Elway has returned a farcical franchise to the proud place it held from 1977-98.
Before writing a column in late November 2010, demanding that the Broncos create the position exec VP, football operations, and hire the exiled Elway, I asked several influential executives with the Broncos and other NFL teams, and in the Denver sports community, what they thought.
The response was unanimously negative.
Read more: Paige: Broncos' John Elway should be NFL's executive of the year - The Denver Post http://www.denverpost.com/paige/ci_2...#ixzz2DFfuTmln
Read The Denver Post's Terms of Use of its content: http://www.denverpost.com/termsofuse
Get rid of Tefflon Ellis
When I asked McDaniels and Joe Ellis what Elway's role would be, the coach-dictator said John would attend some practices, and the chief operating officer said the Hall of Fame quarterback would promote the Broncos' game in London. He was an insignificant marketing tool.
Elway being the VP of Football operations was not thought up by you. Fact is, Elway has wanted a front office position with the Broncos for a long time and it was Shanahan who basically stonewalled Elway. But once the McFail crapfest was over, Elway was the most natural selection to run the Broncos front office. Elway has a great relationship with Bowlen and Elway also has ownership experience.
you're not that smart woody, sorry.
THank GOd you made this thread because I wasn't getting the info in the other 2 threads. Geez.

Everybody is different when it comes to how they like to run their work space. Some people just find a space in the lab and work wherever there's room, sharing their tips and pipettes, while others like to have a designated area to do their lab work in, with their own equipment.
Personally, I much prefer the latter, as I'm a bit of a control freak! I like to have my own working area where I know exactly what's been on it and what's been used. I hate the idea of contamination and do everything I can to stop it!
Here is a list of the top ten crazy things I do at the bench purely out of habit and superstition:
The rest of my colleagues think I take it a bit too far, but it's how I feel the most comfortable doing science! What do you think? Is all this necessary or just OCD? What are your habits at the bench … do you have any that are weirder than mine?!Photo Credits
If these things keep you happy then that is all that really matters but I have to say I think most are OTT. The senior post-doc in our lab rarely uses gloves, except in the most toxic. He manages to avoid most contamination. Simple mortals like me still use our labcoat and gloves and sometimes get contamination.
The EtBr thing is probably the most OTT. I always wear gloves when near it but only because I wear gloves around most parts of the lab where we use DNA and/or chemicals (for its safety not just mine). EtBR is really not very dangerous! It is used as treatment of African sleeping sickness in cattle and there is no increase in cancer or birth defects and the concentration is a lot higher than we use (and I assume no one hear wastes it by drinking it anyway). Here is a nice blog post on the topic my advisor sent me.
Just as Emily, I want my pipettes in order according to their volume. And I want all things "in their place" because that makes it so much easier for me to work fast and get things done. I only wear gloves when I need it (RNA work, toxic substances…). My lab mantra is basically "know thy work", i.e. as long as I am aware of what I'm working with and my methods/techniques I'm good.
I dont think any of the things you mentioned above are signs of OCD. Because I follow those myself and almost everyone in our lab does. Except the 1st and the 6th one, I think they are just too much. But I agree with you – better safe than sorry.

D.C. Public Library kicked off Banned Books Week in style this year by hosting an exclusive after-hours rendezvous that included a musical orchestra and the unveiling of a series of indoor and outdoor art installations created by local artists. Roughly 300 people attended "UNCENSORED: The Preview Party," which launches "UNCENSORED: The Art Exhibition," a temporary public art event at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.
Macmillan announced last week that it is adding its frontlist titles to its backlist pilot for public libraries, making its complete ebook catalog available for the first time. All of their titles are available for a 2-year/52-loan period (whichever comes first). Macmillan ebooks are available to individual public libraries only, not to consortia.
The July 10 episode of American Libraries Live (AL Live), "The Kid and Teen-Friendly Library," featured a discussion on getting children and youth involved with the library and library services. Jennifer Velasquez, coordinator of teen services for the San Antonio (Tex.) Public Library System and a lecturer in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at San José (Calif.) State University, moderated the following panelists as they shared their insights on the topic:
Card tricks. Sleight-of-hand magic. Props. Audience participation. No, this isn't a description of a hot new show on the Vegas Strip. These are a few highlights of the United for Libraries President's Program, held Monday at the 2014 American Library Association Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
ALA Council met for its third and final session at the 2014 Annual Conference and Exhibition on Tuesday, July 1.

You still do Flash Mobs? If so, how's that working out?
You still do Flash Mobs? If so, how's that working out?
You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
It's that tad bit of Crazy that keeps me Sane...
In 10 years I'd like to be in a financially stronger position -If I could find a way to have my mortgage paid off by then I'd love it. I'd also like to see us invest in a recreation property or RV of some kind so it's easy for us to get away, with the dogs, to a spot near water. And I want to continue to go to as many music events as I can, no matter where they are! Since I'm not going to have any kids I intend to spend what would have been a college fund, on all the fun stuff that makes me happy. You only live once and you can't take it with you!
Why no children?
If we were to share a sandwich, what would the ingredients be?
How do you feel about meeting people from the internet? How old were you when you first met someone you knew online first?
What is your dream car?
What is your biggest vice?
Ski or snowboard?
Bike or roller blade?
It would have yummy, tangy buffalo chicken breast, nice and juicy and tender, with 2 types of melted cheese on top - mozzarella and cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and some ranch dressing, on a kaiser bun.
The first person I met from the Internet was someone I met via Classmates, in around 2007. I had a boyfriend that I met through a personals phone line before that, so meeting someone that was a stranger didn't really bother me. When I registered on Classmates and marked on it that I was single, and this guy from my high school reached out to me. He said Oh, you didn't really know me but we knew the same people, and I always had a crush on you, I would love to take you out. He sent me pictures and seemed cute, but I was surprised I couldn't remember him. When we met I was taken aback. He had a really visible nervous twitch and was very awkward, and we went to a wine tasting event, but he wouldn't even make conversation. I kept having to force the discussion and initiate everything. At one point he tried to put his arm around me while we were standing watching a demo and I moved. Then later in the evening he tried to hold my hand. I literally said, "OK. You are invading my personal space right now." He looked at me blankly and said, I'm sorry, I just really like you. But then I asked why he wouldn't talk to me and sort of called him on his weird behavior. He told me he hadn't dated much and was just really nervous. So we went for coffee and we sat while I gave him a bunch of dating pointers, and for a little while after that he used to IM me before dates for pep talks. Eventually he met a really nice girl, and we're still friends.
Biggest vice I have conquered - smoking. I quit smoking cigarettes 5 years ago and haven't had one since. I do enjoy the occasional Hooka session though.
Biggest vice I still carry - Wine. If I had to do without beer I'd be fine, but not without my red wine. After a long day there is nothing nicer than putting your feet up or having a warm bath, while sipping a vino.
Fascinating that someone has actually used ClassMates.com I always wondered. As a fellow who was definitely inept at the younger years of dating, I must say kudos to you for not letting it get overly awkward and actually letting it lead to a lesson to better the situation.
I like to bike a bit. I took a spill last summer and broke my bike so I haven't used it since. I have tried rollerskating but I am not great with it. I do like hiking a lot. We hiked up Ha Ling Peak last year and it only took us 1.15 hours to get to the top. We really hustled it and I was proud. I'm better with sports that don't call for any type of paraphenalia or equipment. Just me, moving. That's what I like.
So swimming or running?
Did you do a sport in high school?
What animal do you wish was permanently off the endangered species list?
Favourite hike?
Banff or Jasper?
I didn't do any sports growing up really, none in high school at ALL. I do remember I got on a summer soccer team in grade 5. Then I auditioned for a play and got a great part. So instantly soccer was dropped. In my house, acting was IT. You could be on a waiting list for a life saving procedure but if you got a great part when it came up, that might get put off. Sports were never a priority. I did do Irish Dancing for a while. Is that a sport?
Do you ever get bored working from home?
What was your favorite role?
Are you a method actor?

2/14: Sparks @ Ace Theater Hollywood
When I was 14 I got a role in a play written by a college student, which was performed at the theatre in the school. It was about a nuclear holocaust where a few young people survived and lived in a bunker underground. I played a 10 year old girl that was sort of adopted by this group of young men and women. The cast was all college age but they let me hang out with them and took me to a couple of their house parties. They had a band and would play in garages, basements. They'd let me have the occasional wine cooler. I was a bit of a mascot of sorts and I'm sure I was a pain in the ass but at the time I thought it was the greatest. I'm still in touch with some of them.
I think method acting is bullshit.
I love sleeping outside. When I stayed at my sister's house in the woods, it's right by the river and the sound of it moving at night while I was falling asleep was so soothing. It may sound cheeseball but I also think that giving or getting hugs is the best.
Well, Pilsner is pretty damn good.
What's your wine of choice?
The Canadian stuff in South Park is pretty funny.
Whats your favorite vocabulary word?

trogers (20th May 2009)
Not much, other that waves are scrapped and LA's can join when ready. If - like us you were in one of the last waves, think again.
also the money is being brought forward:6.21 The Government remains committed to delivering educational transformation
through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, where PFI is expected to
contribute around one third of the total investment over the course of the 2007 CSR period.
Following the consultation last year on the future delivery of BSF, the Government has decided
to move from the wave based model used to date, so that local authorities who are currently
discussing new BSF projects with Partnerships for Schools can join the programme on a rolling
basis, in line with available resources and only if Partnership for Schools assesses that they are
other things such as 'broadband Britain', 2mb/s by 20126.14 Over £800 million will be brought forward from 2010-11 into 2009-10 in the priority
schools capital programmes. More than 100 local authorities can now invest in their priority
capital programmes one year earlier; and all head teachers in England are recieving an advance
of their devolved formula capital to invest in smaller projects as they see fit, from building new
classrooms or science laboratories to fitting out new gyms or improving ICT facilities.
trogers (20th May 2009)
Read an article by Matthew Paris in the Times which had a neat summation of the BSF project:
"GB (Gordon Brown) in '04 budget:"...by 2015 every secondary school can be refurbished or rebuilt, with world class technology". £45 billion promised. Result? Big headlines. Continual downgrading of target. In '07 BSF chief says plans "overambitious and not deliverable" - at this rate would take 74 years to deliver the 99 schools promised for '07 alone. but government uses BSF as bait to pressurise local education authorities to close small secondary schools. Only 50 schools to be ready by '09."
Complete madness

Joshua Peters
(Sneaker Artist)
Joshua started his career drawing from comic books and doing graffiti. He proceeded to get two art degrees all the while growing a really serious shoe habit. With a passion for art, fashion and athletics it was only a matter of time before he started designing and hand painting his own kicks.
Growing up I always had to think really long and hard about which (singular) pair of shoes I was going to buy when the school year started. I used to save and work like a dog just to come up on my next pair. It was and is an obsession. As I started to become more successful as an artist my taste for kicks became more refined How can I have some stand apart sneaks? Where can I find the shoe no one has? Now, I just hit the studio.
Some of his favorite theme shoes he has customized are: Hellboy, Batman, Iron Man, Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, The Simpsons and the list goes on

Research Interests
I use mathematical models combined with experimental and field-based studies to investigate the dynamics of infectious diseases at all scales, from cells to ecosystems. My research falls into four main subjects:
A. Within-host dynamics of bacterial infections.
In collaboration with the Bacterial Infections Group, Mastroeni, Bryant, Maskell, Grant, Gog, McKinley and Dybowski, we have been developing an integrated, multi-disciplinary framework to quantify the dynamics of acute and systemic Salmonella enterica infection, since 2004. Innovative experimental techniques (in situ multi-colour fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, quantitative PCR and genetic engineering, with both in vitro macrophage cultures and in vivo infections of mice), combined with sophisticated modelling techniques (branching processes, stochastic simulations, likelihood and Bayesian statistics) have enabled us to quantify the interactions between bacteria and the host's immune system with unrivalled resolution. Our latest work revealed striking differences between vaccine types in their abilities to control the growth and spread of S. enterica in vivo. Our next project will investigate the effects of different antimicrobials. Together with Richard Dybowski, we are developing new inference methods to improve data analysis.

- Funding: BBSRC
B. Evolutionary ecology of immune defences.
This is a theoretical thread of research I have been investigating since 2000 (initially with my PhD supervisor Jacob Koella). I use adaptive dynamics (derived from game theory) to try and understand how ecological dynamics affect the selective pressures on immune defences in the presence of a pathogen. While this work is not related to any specific empirical system, it aims to address questions of general interest in evolutionary biology that could impact our understanding of host-pathogen interactions (references below):
- How do multiple defence strategies interact? (Restif et al 2001, Restif & Koella 2004)
- How does pathogen coevolution affect selection on defences? (Restif & Koella 2003)
- Should males and females invest equally in immune defences? (Restif & Amos 2010)*
- Can plasticity in virulence expression force a host to delay the onset of its adaptive immune response? (Restif 2013)
*This particular paper stimulated an unusual amount of media coverage (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=restif%20man%20flu).
C. Microcosm studies of host-pathogen population dynamics.
My first incursion in experimental ecology took place during my PhD thesis in Paris, under the supervision of Oliver Kaltz when we set up a new lab-based model consisting of the Ciliate protozoan Paramecium caudatum and its bacterial parasite Holospora undulata (Restif & Kaltz 2006). We worked with Dave Lunn to develop a Bayesian framework that enabled us to fit complex mechanistic models to individual and population level data from these experiments (Lunn et al, 2013, PLoS One).
Since 2012, I have been working with Anaid Diaz on a new experimental system, using the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a host of various bacterial pathogens. We combine experimental and theoretical work to quantify the dynamics of infection at the levels of individual hosts and populations, paving the way for an integrative model to study the evolution of host-pathogen interactions.
Funding: BBSRC
Key reference: Diaz and Restif (2014) Spread and Transmission of Bacterial Pathogens in Experimental Populations of the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
D. Model-Guided Fieldwork for Wildlife Infectious Diseases.
I have been collaborating with James Wood, Andrew Cunningham and Tony Fooks on a research programme on the ecology and epidemiology of zoonotic viruses in the African Straw-Coloured Fruit Bat (Eidolon helvum). In addition to advising on study design, I have supervised two PhD students: Wellcome Trust Fellow David Hayman and Gates Scholar Alexandra Kamins. With the support of the RAPIDD programme, we have been working with Colleen Webb's group to develop a a multi-disciplinary framework for model-guided field studies (Restif et al, 2012 Ecology Letters). In our latest study with Alison Peel, we used stochastic models to investigate the effects of seasonal birth pulses on the persistence of pathogens in wildlife populations (Peel et al 2013, Proc R Soc B).
News coverage: The importance of our work on African fruit bats has been highlighted by the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa.

HSBC Private Bank scaling down in MidEast
HSBC, Europe's biggest lender, is significantly scaling down its private banking operations in the Middle East, two sources told Reuters, and HSBC said its top private banker in the region had been reassigned to London.
February 29, 2012 1:51 by Reuters
The private bank has shrunk the number of relationship managers to around 10 from 50-60 at its peak 18 months ago, one banking source familiar with the matter said. As many as 200 private bankers were employed by the bank in 2008 in the region, a second banking source added.
HSBC confirmed, as one of the sources had said, that Mark Stadler, HSBC's global market head for the Middle East and Africa private bank since January 2011, had relocated to London.
He will be replaced by Sobhi Tabbara, who was previously Business Area Head for MENA and Saudi Arabia, a spokesman for HSBC in Dubai said in an emailed statement.
"We are not closing our private banking business in the Middle East, and it is not for sale. We have made a number of management changes across the private banking that mean that Mark Stadler has returned to the UK," the statement said.
The move to downsize private banking operations in the Middle East is part of a push by the UK-headquartered lender to focus more on corporate and retail banking in the region and follows reviews of its Middle East business, the sources said.
"They have made a cautious decision to scale back private banking in the region and focus on the corporate and retail side. The cost base in the private banking is considerably higher and competition really intense," the first banking source said.
"The Middle East is a key area for the bank, and there is more pressure to derive more profits from the region."
HSBC, however, is not planning to fully close its private banking business in the region and may retain a small unit in Dubai, the source added.
Some other global banks have been beefing up their wealth management and private banking arms to cater to the region's rich.
Last year, Swiss bank UBS poached Credit Agricole's top Middle East and Africa investment banker Albert Momdjian for a senior job at its emerging markets wealth management division.
Coutts, the private banking arm of Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of America Merrill Lynch have all beefed up their wealth management divisions recently.
The Gulf Arab region, which includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE, together pump a significant share of the world's crude oil production, and global private banks have flocked to the region lured by the region's growing ranks of millionaires.
The Middle East and Africa wealth management sector grew 8.6 percent in 2010 and overall assets under management could grow to $6.7 trillion by 2015 helped by high oil prices, a study by the Boston Consulting Group in June last year showed.
The region's private banking sector has several pure-play private banks like Julius Baer and Sarasin Alpen, competing with diversified banks such as, J.P. Morgan Chase and UBS.

Metallica To Debut New Film On IMAX In September
By CHRIS TALBOTT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â¿¿ Metallica already planned to go big with its new 3D film. IMAX is helping make the debut for "Metallica Through The Never" giant-sized.
The film that mixes concert footage with a dramatic narrative and CGI will open Sept. 27, becoming the first movie to debut on IMAX's chain of super-sized screens. The film will open wide a week later.
"To be at the forefront in this situation where IMAX has never done this is very exciting," Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said. "It's also a bit of a confidence booster. Being in the movie-making business is not necessarily our forte and it's been a very interesting three years. We've learned a lot about a lot of different things. The recognition from IMAX and to be able to have our fans and people that are interested in this film to see it and experience it in the IMAX format is super cool."Ulrich, in his first interview about the movie, chuckled at the long road the film, directed by Nimrod Antal, has taken to near completion. It remains in post-production where concert and narrative footage are being knitted together with CGI effects to create something the band thinks will be completely different from the average concert film. "Any filmmaker hopes people like a film," Ulrich said, "but what I can guarantee is that it will be unlike anything that anybody's ever seen before â¿¿ so at least that's something. And for that I'm pretty excited." Ulrich, speaking by phone from Cape Town, South Africa, where the pioneering metal band will play this week, didn't want to go too deeply into details about the film. It stars young "Chronicle" actor Dane DeHaan as a member of Metallica's concert tour crew who's sent on a special mission by the band. The movie follows two parallel story lines â¿¿ DeHaan's scripted narrative and the band's concert â¿¿ which intertwine throughout.

Shock Absorber Women's B5044 Sports Run Bra (Black)
38 New from
Free delivery
Posted: 25/08/2011
I am so glad I have discovered this bra. I play rugby and do a lot of running and gym classes so this bra is perfect for me! I don't feel squashed in as I used to in some sports bras and yet my boobs don't move at all when I run which as a larger chested lady I am so happy about! The bra did feel tight around the back when I first put it on but after about 10 mins I had forgotten about it. It is so comfortable - I won't wear any other sports bra. I would really recommend this bra to anyone who does a running based sport.

We got this to try and keep the kids quite during the increasingly wet weekends and it has done better than we expected a board game to! The fact it revolves around what you can do in 30 seconds means they don't lose interest and they can be as competative as they like - can go on for a while and their Dad was more competative then the kids for some of it but very funny all the same.

Ondrej's Play of Late
Travis Hrubeniuk
March 27 2013 08:07AM
This won't be a long article, and it is not going to be loaded with in-depth stats. If anything, I am writing it simply as a 'tip of the hat' to a player that for the majority of this season I have been very hard on.
That's not to say I wasn't right to be hard on Ondrej Pavelec. After all, he was at times God awful for at least half of the season. His glove hand was pitiful, his rebound control left nothing to be desired, and it could be said that he costed the Jets a handful of games.
Let me take you back to March 8th.
Olli Jokinen: Please eat another hamburger
Kevin McCartney
March 26 2013 06:04PM
Olli Jokinen was a free agent signing by the Jets this off-season - a two year, $9million deal intended to give Scheifele time to develop, add veteran depth down the middle, and create goals. He'd come off seasons of 54 and 61 points in Calgary (version 2), and though he is far removed from his 90 point seasons in Florida, Jokinen's lowest scoring season in the inter-lockout period was a 50 point campaign split between the Flames and Rangers. That is, until his 23 point pace with the Jets this year. And to be clear, that's a 23 point pace over an 82 game season. Boxcars aren't everything, but I can't help but start with the question, how bad has he been? It's not for the weak of stomach.
Game #34 - Huge Stakes

It doesn't get any bigger than this. Well, it actually does - specifically this Saturday at the MTS Centre. But until then, this is as big as it gets. Tonight, your Winnipeg Jets travel to Raleigh, North Carolina to face the Carolina Hurricanes.
A Running Mate for Kane
Brett Martin
March 25 2013 11:20AM
Poor Evander Kane. And Jets fans as a whole. While Blake Wheeler, Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little form a consideble trio with fairly reliable and successful chemistry, Evander Kane has been saddled with a "who's who" of players you don't want lining up with your budding young star.
Game #33 Vs. Tampa Bay: Opportunities
Travis Hrubeniuk
March 24 2013 12:58PM
Opportunities. Throughout the span of an NHL season, a team will be provided with a plethora of opportunities. In a normal 82 game season, it is quite important to take advantage of such opportunities if you want to make the playoffs. In a 48 game season? It becomes absolutely vital. For the second time this season the Jets spoiled an opportunity to really take hold of the Southeast Division and prove to everyone that they belong in the playoffs, and in doing so have provided an opportunity for Carolina to swoop right back in over the next week and take back that control. Today is another opportunity to make that task just a little bit harder awaits the Jets at the MTS Centre tonight.
