R&D expenditures in the United States are expected to reach $220.6 billion in 1998.[4] This amount implies a nominal growth rate (without accounting for inflation) of 7.3Āpercent over the 1997 preliminary level of $205.6Ābillion, or a real-growth rate (after adjusting for expected inflation) of 5.3 percent.[5] The 1997 level of R&D reflects a 4.9-percent nominal growth over $196.0 billion spent in 1996, or 2.8-percent real growth.
The Gross Domestic Product, the main measure of the nation's total economic activity, grew in real terms by 2.7 percent in 1998, and 3.8 percent in 1997, by preliminary estimates, growing faster than R&D in 1997, but slower than R&D in 1998. Since 1994, however, R&D has generally been outpacing the overall growth of the economy, thereby becoming a larger component of the economyfrom 2.43 percent of GDP in 1994 to 2.61Āpercent in 1998.
In 1998, the Federal Government is expected to provide 30.2 percent ($66.6 billion dollars) of total projected funds for R&D; industry will supply 65.1 percent ($143.7 billion in current dollars), and the remaining sectors of the economy, i.e., state governments, universities and colleges, and other nonprofit institutions, will contribute 4.7 percent ($10.3 billion).
Starting in 1969 and for nearly a decade thereafter, R&D growth failed to keep up with either inflation or general increases in economic output. In fact, between 1968 and 1975, real R&D expenditures declined 5 percent, due to both business and government de-emphasizing funding for research programs (figure 2). Federal funding in particular fell considerably during this period (down 19Āpercent in real terms). Both Federal defense- and nondefense-related R&D programs declined.
Following an economic recovery from the 1974 oil embargo and the 1975 recession, a significant funding reversal occurred. U.S. R&D expenditures increased in real terms by approximately 72 percent from 1975--85, compared with a 37-percent rise in real GDP over the same period.
During the first half of this period (1975--80), there was considerable growth in Federal R&D funding for nondefense activities. Although defense-related R&D expenditures rose annually, much of the Federal R&D gain was attributable to energy-related R&D (particularly nuclear energy development) and to greater support for health-related R&D. Non-federal R&D increases were concentrated in industry and resulted largely from greater emphasis on energy conservation and improved use of fossil fuels. Consequently, energy concerns fostered increases in R&D funding by both Federal and non-federal sources. Support for energy R&D rose over 150Āpercent in real terms between 1974 and 1979 and accounted for approximately one-half of the national increase in real R&D spending.
Overall, the U.S. constant-dollar investment in total R&D grew at an average annual rate of 4.4 percent during 1975--80. Although the rate of increase remained rather steady through 1982 (between 4 and 5 percent annually), the focus of the national R&D effort began to shift heavily toward defense-related activities in the early eighties. Largely as a result of increases in defense R&D, growth in real R&D expenditures accelerated to an average annual rate of 8.2 percent over 1982--85: not since the space-inspired spending thrust in the early sixties had R&D in the United States grown so rapidly during any 3-year period. On average, from 1980--85, R&D spending increased 6.8 percent per year in real terms.
This pattern of a generally increasing rate of real R&D growth, however, changed abruptly in the mid-eighties and continued through the early nineties. From 1985--94, R&D spending slowed to a 1.1-percent annual real rate of increase, in comparison to a 2.4-annual real growth in GDP. Some slackening of both Federal and non-federal funding of R&D, as a proportion of GDP, had contributed to this slowing. However, it is primarily the decline in real Federal R&D funding, as reported by R&D performers, that contributed to the slow growth of R&D in the early nineties.[6]
The downward trend was then reversed in 1994, caused by substantial increases in industrial R&D.[7] By preliminary estimates, U.S. R&D grew in real terms by 4.7 percent per year between 1994 and 1998, in spite of virtually no real growth (0.2 percent) in Federal R&D support. Over the same period, industrial support for R&D grew at a real annual rate of 7.3 percent, by preliminary calculations. Much of this increase might be explained by the favorable economic conditions that generally existed over the past 4 years.
As a share of the national R&D total, Federal Government funding has continued to decline in recent years. Though it was previously the primary provider of the Nation's R&D funds, the Federal Government's share of R&D funding first fell below 50 percent in 1979. From 1980--88, the Federal Government provided between 44 and 47 percent, but has fallen systematically since that time. The preliminary Federal R&D funding in 1998, $66.6Ābillion, represents a 0.8-percent increase from the preliminary 1997 level in real terms. Consequently, due to the notable increase in industrial support, the Federal Government's estimated share of R&D support for 1998, 30.2 percent, is the lowest ever recorded in the data series (which begins in 1953).[8]
Even with its declining share of the national total, Federal R&D funding did expand between 1980 and 1998 (from $29.9 to $66.6 billion), which, after inflation, amounted to a small, real growth rate of 0.9 percent per year. This rate, however, was not at all uniform across the period. From 1980--85, Federal R&D funding grew on average by 6.2 percent in real terms annually. Support then slowed considerably in 1986, reflecting the budgetary constraints imposed on all government programs, including those mandated by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (also known as the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) and subsequent legislation (notably the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, which legislated that new spending increases be offset with specific spending cuts). Since then, the Federal R&D data reflect the government's growing emphasis on deficit reduction and a shift in the balance between defense and domestic programs. As a consequence, real Federal R&D support has declined on average by 1.1 percent per year over 1985--98, by preliminary calculations.
Nearly all the rise in Federal R&D funding during the early eighties was due to large increases in defense spending, as evidenced by the figures on the Federal budget authority (figure 3). For example, defense activities of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Energy (DOE) accounted for roughly one-half of total Federal R&D budget authorizations in 1980.[9] By 1986, such defense-related activities peaked at 69 percent of the Federal R&D budget authority.
After 1986, Federal R&D spending priorities shifted, resulting in part from additional budgetary pressures and from modifications in U.S. security measures in an evolving international arena. Thus, the defense buildup in the early and mid-1980s was followed by a period of moderate reductions in the late 1980s, a leveling of R&D spending in the early 1990s, and a return to planned, moderate reductions in the mid-1990s. Since 1986, Federal budget authority for civilian-related R&D grew faster than defense-related R&D. In particular, the budget allocation for health- and space-related R&D increased substantially between 1986 and 1998, with average real annual growth rates of 4.6 and 6.0 percent, respectively, using preliminary figures for 1998. (As indicated in figure 3, most of this growth in the budget authority for space-related R&D occurred between 1986 and 1991.) The budget allocation for defense programs declined by an average real annual rate of 2.3 percent during the same period. As a result, in 1998, defense-related R&D accounts for an estimated 54.1 percent of the 1998 total Federal R&D budget authority, in contrast to 69.3 percent for 1986.
Based on preliminary figures, R&D accounts for 15Āpercent of the Federal defense-related budget authority for 1998, and 3 percent of the Federal nondefense authority (table 1). In nondefense areas, R&D accounts for 75Āpercent of general science funds, nearly all of which (94Āpercent) is devoted to basic research (table 2). R&D accounts for 67 percent of funds for space research and technology, most of which (61 percent) is devoted to development. Among funds for health, R&D represents 10.0 percent, most of which (54 percent) is devoted to basic research, and nearly all of which (95 percent) is directed toward programs of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In the area of energy, the Department of Energy actually registers a negative total budget authority because of offsetting receipts received from sales of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Consequently, the concept of R&D expenditure as proportion of total budget authority would not be meaningful in this case.
At first glance, the R&D budget authority for energy appears to have declined rapidly, from $2.4 billion in 1997 to only $1.1 billion (by preliminary estimates) in 1998. However, this effect is not an actual decline in economic resources devoted to energy R&D, but merely the result of reclassification. Specifically, beginning in FY 1998 several DOE programs were reclassified from "energy" to "general science," so that the $1.3 billion drop from $2.4 to $1.1 billion in energy R&D was equally offset by a $1.3 billion rise in general science from $2.9 billion to $4.2 billion. (See appendix table B-10.)
For the Nation as a whole, defense-related R&D climbed from 24.2 percent of the total R&D effort in 1980 to 31.8 percent in 1987. In 1998, defense-related R&D fell to 16.4 percent of total R&D expenditures, according to preliminary findings (figure 4). These shares by national objective represent a distribution of performer-reported R&D data. They are distinct from the budget authority shares reported above that are based on the various functional categories that comprise the Federal budget. (See appendix A).
Space-related R&D funding, as a percent of total R&D funding, had reached a peak of 20.8 percent in 1965, during the height ofĀU.S. efforts to exceed the Soviet Union in space travel. It has declined steadily since that time, to a low of 3.0 percent in 1984 and 1986. By 1990 it was back up to 4.2 percent and has remained between 4.0 and 4.5 percent since that time. Federal support for "civilian-related" R&D (nondefense-nonspace programs), as a percent of total U.S. R&D, has been declining steadily since 1994, when it was 11.7 percent. It is expected to be 9.8 percent in 1998, the lowest since 1962 (when it was 9.1 percent).
Preliminary estimates of Federal R&D obligations for 1998 indicate that seven Federal agencies have R&D obligations of over $1 billion, out of the total Federal R&D obligations of $69.8 billion. These are, in descending order of R&D obligations: DoD (with a 48.7 percent share of the total), HHS (18.8 percent), NASA (13.3 percent), DOE (8.1 percent), NSF (3.4 percent), USDA (2.0Āpercent), and the Department of Commerce (DOC) (1.5Āpercent) (table 3).
In contrast to total R&D obligations, only three agencies have intramural R&D expenditures that exceed $1.0 billion in 1998, including costs associated with planning and administering extramural R&D programs: DoD, HHS (which includes NIH), and NASA.[10] These three agencies, together, account for 80.8 percent of all Federal R&D obligations for 1998, and 76.7 percent of Federal intramural R&D, by preliminary tabulations.
Between 1980 and 1985, concurrent with gains in Federal R&D spending, R&D support from non-federal sources grew substantiallyby 7.4 percent per year after inflation. It then slowed to 4.1 percent between 1985 and 1990, and 2.9 percent between 1990 and 1995, but is expected to be back up to 6.5 percent for the 1995--98 period.
Most non-federal R&D support is provided by industry. Of the projected 1998 non-federal total ($154.0Ābillion), 93.3 percent ($143.7 billion) is company funded, representing a 7.7-percent increase over its 1997 level in real terms. Industry's share of national R&D funding first surpassed that of the Federal Government in 1980, and it has remained higher ever since. From 1980--85 industrial support for R&D, in real dollars, grew at an average annual rate of 7.6 percent. This growth was maintained through both the mild 1980 recession and the more severe 1982 recession (figure 5). Key factors behind increases in industrial R&D included a growing concern with international competition, especially in high-technology industries; the increasing technological sophistication of products, processes, and services; and general growth in defense-related industries such as electronics, aircraft, and missiles.
Between 1985 and 1994, growth in R&D funding from industry was slower, averaging only 2.8 percent per year in real terms. This slower growth in industrial R&D funding was only slightly greater than the real growth of the economy over the same period (in terms of real GDP), which was 2.4 percent. In contrast, from 1994--98, by preliminary estimates, it grew in real terms by 7.3Āpercent per year, compared with a 2.8 percent for the economy overall.
As one might expect, however, growth of industrial R&D varies significantly among different industrial sectors.[11] The industrial sectors with the largest annual growth in real R&D performance, from non-federal sources, between 1986 and 1996, have been: nonmanufacturing[12] (16.2 percent); lumber, wood products, and furniture (12.4 percent); paper and allied products (7.6 percent), and electrical equipment (4.3Āpercent). Those industries experiencing the greatest annual declines (or negative growth) in R&D over the same period were: stone, clay, and glass products (-9.7Āpercent); primary metals (-5.1 percent); petroleum refining and extraction (-4.9 percent); and food, kindred, and tobacco products (-1.1 percent) (table 4).
R&D funding from other non-federal sectorsnamely academic and other nonprofit institutions, including the support they receive from state and local governmentshas been more consistent over time. It grew in real terms at average annual rates of 5.2 percent between 1980 and 1985, 8.3 percent between 1985 and 1990, 2.7Āpercent between 1990 and 1995, and, by preliminary calculations, 2.5 percent between 1995 and 1998. The projected $10.3 billion in funding in 1998 is 3.4Āpercent higher in real terms than its preliminary 1997 level. Most of these funds have been used for research performed within the academic sector.
[4] Except for discussions of the Federal budget authority, which are in reference to fiscal years, other references to years in this report are with respect to calendar years, not fiscal years, even in discussions on academic and Federal intramural performance. Other NSF reports on academic or Federal expenditures alone, however, refer to fiscal years, because those institutions operate on a fiscal year basis. Calendar years are used in the National Patterns report, however, for consistency with industry data, which represent the largest share of U. S. R&D expenditure, and for consistency with the vast majority of all other national economic statistics provided by Federal statistical agencies.
[5] For a discussion about how dollar amounts are adjusted for inflation in this report, see Appendix A: Controlling for Inflation and Foreign Currency.
[6] In recent years, increasing differences have been detected in data on federally financed R&D as reported by Federal funding agencies, on the one hand, and by performers of the work (federal labs, industry, universities, and other nonprofit organizations), on the other hand. This divergence in R&D totals is discussed in Appendix A.
[7] For a detailed discussion of this upturn, see Jankowski, J., "R&D: The Foundation for Innovation . . . Changes in U.S. Industry," in Trends in Industrial Innovation: Industry Perspectives and Policy Implications, Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, Inc., Research Triangle Park, NC, 1998, pp. 201--211.
[8] The sample design for estimating industry R&D expenditures was revised for 1991 and later years. The effect of the change in industry's sample design was to reduce the Federal share of the national R&D total to 38 percent in 1991, down from the 41-percent share previously published for 1991. See appendix A for more information on these survey changes and their impact on the R&D estimates.
[9] These percentage share calculations of defense-related R&D activities are based on Federal budget authorization totals, not on data reported by the performers of R&D.
[10] Estimates are for FY 1998 Federal intramural obligations as reflected in the administration's 1998 budget proposal (see appendix A) and cover costs associated with planning and administering intramural and extramural R&D programs by Federal personnel, as well as actual intramural R&D performance. See NSF, Federal Funds for Research and Development: Fiscal Years 1996, 1997, and 1998, NSF 98-332.
[11] For studies of patterns of technological change among different industrial sectors, see, for example, Nelson, R. "Recent evolutionary theorizing about economic change," Journal of Economic Literature, 33, 1:48-90, 1995; Pavitt, K., "Sectoral patterns of technological change: Towards a taxonomy and a theory," Research Policy, 13:343-373; Payson, S., "Product Evolution and the Classification of Business Interest in Scientific Advances,' Knowledge and Policy, Vol. 9, No. 4, 1996--97; and Utterback, J.M., "The dynamics of product and process innovation in industry," in C.T. Hill & J.M. Utterback, eds., Technological innovation for a dynamic economy, New York: Pergamon Press: 1979.
[12] See appendix A, the section on "Use of 'Nonmanufacturing' as a Single Industrial Category." Further, as a result of recent improvements (since 1992) in the NSF sampling of firms located in the service sector, it is not clear to what extent the nonmanufacturing sector has rapidly expanded its share of the Nation's R&D, or how much of the apparent increase is due solely to improved measurement techniques.

They are called W.I.S.Hers. On this thread, TXBelle (Heather) shares the history of W.I.S.H. and how it all began. You are always welcome to post on the W.I.S.H boards and ask questions, or to offer advice for someone else. Once you've posted, you are automatically a member of W.I.S.H! Within W.I.S.H there are smaller teams of about 20 people each. You do not have to be on a team to be a member of W.I.S.H and you do not have to be a member of W.I.S.H to be on a team. They are just a way for smaller groups of people to get to know each other and to offer more personalized advice and suggestions. How can I join a team? Simply find the team you are intersted in (this post is a good starting place) and start posting. Introduce yourself and join right in. About the Rebels On February 7, 2009, windwalker asked for a volunteer to lead a new team he named Rebel Alliance. It didn't appear that there were many people eager to take on that job! Soon however, Suzann and scoolover (Scott) stepped up and offered to share the duties of heading up the new team. Back then, every team member had to announce their monthly miles and minutes and the team captain kept a team total. Before long the team had 11 members and by June we were up to 14. One of the latest monthly threads was started in July of 2009 by Suzann until K80K (Katie) started one in September of that same year. October was skipped and a November thread was started by wdwprincess (Jane). By this time, most members of the team had drifted away. "Real life" got in the way, training slowed down, there was an injury... For whatever reason, it appeared that the Rebels had disbanded. In January of 2010, deekaypee (Debra) started asking for opinions for the new year and scoolover (Scott) offered to re-start the Rebels. He started a thread asking if any past team members were interested in coming back, and a few did. Then jmasgat (Maura) started filling the team in with brand new people who were either new to W.I.S.H or were ready to join a team. The numbers rose quickly and before long the team had 20 members. For personal reasons, scoolover (Scott) asked disney_mommy (Andrea) to take over as team captain in February 2010. She accepted and the team is in its current state. In December of 2011 disney_mommy (Andrea) asked mandac (Manda) and MikeofRose&Mike (Mike) to take over as co-captains. Helpful Tips/Links Looking for General W.I.S.H information?

Earthquakes jolted four different parts of Alaska on Friday.
Earthquakes jolted four different parts of Alaska on Friday.
Several earthquakes, including one with a magnitude of 5.9, occurred around the same location in the southeast part of the nation's largest state early Friday. The U.S. Geological Survey said light shaking was felt around Juneau, about 100 miles to the east.
An unrelated magnitude-4.3 earthquake was felt in Kodiak. No one reported feeling smaller, unrelated quakes in the Brooks Range region and in north-central Alaska.
The magnitude-3.9 earthquake in the Brooks Range was an aftershock of an earlier earthquake near the village of Noatak in an area with otherwise little seismic activity. Since April 18, five magnitude-5.7 temblors have occurred in that area and are associated with multiple aftershocks.

There were no immediate reports of damage from Friday's quakes.
Alaska Earthquake Center seismologist Natasha Ruppert said it's somewhat unusual to have unrelated quakes strong enough to be felt in two parts of the state.
The magnitude-5.9 quake in southeast Alaska was immediately preceded by a magnitude-5.3 foreshock and followed by multiple aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 4.6.
No tsunami was expected.
Alaska Communications reported spotty outages of cellphone and wireless service in southeast Alaska that it blamed on the larger quake. The company was working to resolve the issue, spokeswoman Hannah Blankenship said.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Street drugs > Getting help Updated 20 February 2013 What next after rehab? The first 90 to 360 days of recovery can predict how you will manage and sustain your recovery. 0 Like Health24 on Facebook » Quiz Are you depressed? » Ask Addiction Expert » Talk Divorce support » The science of getting drunk The facts about cocaine Many addicts struggle to maintain their recovery after attending a primary addiction programme. Often people with addictions and unresolved issues (commonly trauma based) are admitted to a 28-day primary programme, which can help the client to detox and to begin to admit they have a problem. The dilemma with month-long treatments is that so many issues remain unresolved, leaving the client even more vulnerable and unable to manage life. Learning to live in recovery is very different from staying clean and sober. Bridging the recovery gap Addicts in recovery need a hands-on, experiential approach where they practise skills they will require on the outside. Learning to manage time, taking responsibility for organising meetings, creating CVs, meeting their sponsors regularly, preparing meals, managing house duties and budgeting are just a few examples of necessary worldly skills. Consequences are part of life; therefore they need to be respected. Often the approach taken at rehabs is one of punishment. Addicts in recovery have been punished enough: a reward rationale is optimal. In this way addicts in recovery can learn that mistakes are acceptable, but need to be faced. They need different behaviours to be challenged and worked on. Having a counsellor who treats them as an individual is so important. Taking responsibility for their choices is integral as ultimately they are the ones who live their lives. Learning to have fun in recovery is also essential. Addicts in recovery need replacement activities such as surfing, beach walks, spiritual outdoor outings, yoga and free time where they can find their own hobbies. They need to learn that life can be interesting and meaningful without drugs/ alcohol. One other life skill that needs to be prioritised is family work. Addiction and trauma affects the entire family. The addicts in recovery and family need to be encouraged to attend their own therapy/ self-help groups. Besides education, the family need time to heal too. Trust needs to be restored. Boundaries need to be reinstated. Codependency needs to be processed. This too takes time. Two years ago Capetonian Sharon Stolk envisioned a healing centre - The Spirit of the Phoenix - that offers a different way of facilitating the dreams and visions of all who pass this way. Together with registered addiction/ trauma therapist Frances Ward they have created a programme that helps addicts in recovery get through the first 90 days (or longer) – that teaches them how to maintain their recovery for themselves. Having worked at many different types of facilities in the UK and SA, Frances Ward believes that bridging the gap from active addiction to active recovery is essential. Continuing to look at the underlying reasons why the client has become addicted, remains traumatised or repeats unhealthy patterns is important but teaching addicts in recovery how to maintain their recovery, by learning how to respond to stressors in different ways (bodily and psychologically) is essential. One method is through a revolutionary new technique TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises), which aims to reverse the instinctual responses to trauma and to then restore an inner sense of balance. "We believe this process requires an ecosystemic approach that allows their body, mind and spirit to heal within a context- a social system," says Frances. "Therefore experiencing reality, whilst feeling safe in a homely environment, is an essential element of our programme." (Frances Ward, press release, February 2012) Frances Ward is the Clinical Director of The Spirit of the Phoenix Recovery Centre.

New Pitcher Plant Help
I have a new Pitcher Plant in my office that I have had for about three days. It has three pitchers, each about eight inches long. I've been growing plants in my office for about a year. I have 15+ and they all like the environment. I have them directly under a florescent light where I put the pitcher plant. I gave it a cup of water, and filled each pitcher about half way full of water. I found a dead wolf spider at my house and brought it in to give to the plant (it seems to be digesting it too). However, I noticed that the lid of the pitchers is starting to brown and die. One is completely dead (it was almost dead when I bought it) but now the healthy one seems to be dying to. What does this mean?
The lids dieing off is normal. Soon the pitcher will die when you see that. They don't last forever. Since spring is now here new pitchers should start forming in the coming weeks. You can give them some 1/4 strength Orchid fertilizer to help induce pitchering.
Thanks! Now the pitchers have small sticky brown areas on them, so I presume that they are about to die (even though they still seem effective at catching bugs.) I'm a little nervous trying the fertilizer since this is my first pitcher plant. Is there any special way I should go about fertilizing it?
Could I use this and spray it on the plant, or would it be too strong:

CHIC LONDON RENTALS part of Lumiere Associates Ltd established in 2004 purchased this apartment in 2001
This townhouse is the perfect place to stay whether for a weekend, month or longer. Fabulous situation within easy walking distance of the tube, local shops and restaurants.
Tastefully furnished with great amenities. Comfortable beds, white linens and scrupulously clean. This house was definitely five star and lived upto and beyond our expectations and would highly recommend. We shall definitely return, no where else compares - thank you.
The apartment was perfect for our stay (5 teens & 2 adults). It was clean and nicely decorated, just as in the pictures. The location was good too, just a short walk to the bus stop (travel into the center of London was about 15-20 minutes). I would definitely book this apartment again!
This townhouse is in a quiet family neighborhood. We were 4 adult women traveling together and loved the apt. Angela was very helpful and even gave us the directions - bus, train & tube stations to get to our "High Tea" the first day. We loved relaxing together in the living room after a full day of sightseeing and even when we got home late one night, we felt safe walking home from the train. It was rather funny that we didn't discover that the skylights in the top bedroom had shades until two nights before we left! We wish we had more time in London because staying at this apt. was definitely a great experience.
C'est la deuxième fois que nous séjournons à Londres dans cet appartement niché dans une jolie maison mitoyenne typiquement anglaise. Nous sommes partis à deux familles et grâce aux deux salles de bains, aux trois niveaux de l'appartement et à la cuisine très bien équipée, nous avons vécu là à 4 adultes et 5 enfants pendant une semaine très confortablement.
De nombreuses lignes de bus vous emmènent au coeur de la capitale, un grand supermarché à proximité permet de faire facilement les courses. L'appartement est très bien aménagé, très confortable, aucun problème de bruit avec les voisins, meublé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. La literie est très bonne aussi. C'est un plaisir le soir après une journée de visite de revenir "chez soi"!
Ne ratez pas tout près de l'appartement une jolie marina, un très beau parc, le pub Adélaïde, superbe, il y a même un service de bateau bus sur la tamise pour rejoindre le centre de Londres mais nous ne l'avons découvert que le dernier jour. Ce sera pour un prochain séjour!
Enfin Angela la propriétaire parle extrêmement bien français, est à l'écoute de toutes vos questions et demandes et très prévenante. Détail appréciable, le dépôt de garantie est toujours remboursé très rapidement, juste après le passage de la femme de ménage.
Cet appartement est parfait pour 8 personnes. Si vous êtes moins nombreux, Angela possède dans la même maison un appartement pour 4 et un studio pour 2.
Nous reviendrons très certainement avec toujours le même plaisir!
My husband and I and our two teenage children visited London for the first time and this rental offered everything we were looking for, and more. It was clean, bright, spacious and well equipped with everything a family would need to live for a week, including cooking two meals a day. Not only was it a huge cost-saver for us, it allowed us to experience London like locals rather than just as tourists. It is perfectly located on a quiet street within walking distance of grocery stores, a mall, pubs, a park and various transportation options into the city. Angela was a wonderful host who checked in with us often via e-mail to make sure everything was going well. (Loved the Wi-Fi!) I can't imagine staying anywhere else and my husband and I are already dreaming of a return trip in a few years.
The apartment was exactly as described/pictured and beautifully appointed. Everything was just as promised, and the owner even left us a bottle of wine and a card of thanks! The apartment was just a 15 minutes' walk to the nearest tube station and to the nearest grocery store, and then it was just a 10-20 minute hop into central London. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone. We were a large group of young girls (6 of us in total), and everyone had their own bed and their own space. We felt very safe on this little street. Highly recommended!
We were two families 4 adults 3 teenagers staying 4 nights the apartment was fantastic !! We had a great feeling as soon we booked as Angela was very efficient keeping in regular contact from the day we booked right up until we left . The apartment is very comfortable with everything you need it really is home away from home , being in the putney area you really get a feel for london life . On arrival we found a bottle of wine for us on the table with a card welcoming us as well as a text message from angela when we were arriving so she could meet us there which was a big change coming from europe were we had to chase people , Angela is very organized having a folder on the table having all the information one needs to see and get around london including the local area which is lovely and a short train or bus ride to the city center , we used both services and they are both great, the bus although it can take a bit longer it is a great way to see london life . I would highly recommend the apartment and would definetly stay there again . Thanks again Angela for being so welcoming and efficient regards Danny Cece Adelaide Australia..
The flat is located in zone 2 Inner London, just 12-14 minutes by train to central London (Waterloo), 10 minute bus ride from Wimbledon, and 15-20 minutes by bus/train to Victoria. District Line tube is 10m away. A few minutes' walk away is the river Thames, a tree-lined riverside park, excellent riverside restaurants, and several pubs, while the lively Old York Road restaurant and cafe district is a 7 minute walk away. Waterloo is the home of Southbank, a picturesque riverside restaurant and shopping district, the London Eye, and Imax. A short walk will take you to Westminster Bridge, over the Thames to see the famous Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, then further up to Buckingham Palace and Park Lane. Over the footway is The Strand, Trafalgar Square, Soho, Picadilly and Covent Garden. Further to the right is the Modern Tate, and you can cross the famous Millennium Bridge to reach St Paul's Cathedral in London.

To rope in rebel MLAs to drive a wedge in TRS vote bank
HYDERABAD: The Congress party is planning to rope in eight of the 10 legislators expelled by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) to drive a wedge in the TRS vote bank in the upcoming byelections. The ruling party wants these MLAs to surreptitiously throw their weight behind its nominees.
The methodology of executing this agenda seems to have been worked out -- supporters of these legislators would campaign for the Congress candidates. The Congress expects a sizeable advantage to itself with the expelled leaders' support, albeit from behind the scenes.
Public meeting
The rebel TRS MLAs -- Mandadi Satyanarayana Reddy (Hanamkonda), Dugyala Srinivas Rao (Chennur), B. Shara Rani (Parkal SC) and Laxma Reddy (Narsampet), all in Warangal district, Narayan Rao Patel (Mudhole) and Soyam Bapu Rao (Boath ST) from Adilabad district and Kasipeta Lingaiah (Nerella SC) in Karimnagar district will become crucial in Karimnagar, Warangal, Hanamkonda and Adilabad parliamentary constituencies.
To buttress its move, the Congress plans a public meeting in Mudhole Assembly segment in Adilabad district on May 3. A large number of supporters of the rebel TRS MLA Narayan Rao Patel are expected to announce their support to A. Indrakaran Reddy, the Congress nominee from Adilabad parliamentary constituency, say sources.
However, these legislators, who may extend their tacit support, are treading cautiously on their moves. They don't want to attract the provision of Anti-Defection Law by openly sharing platform with the ruling Congress. "As the issue of disqualification of the rebel MLAs is pending before the Speaker, they will not venture out openly in favour of the Congress," the sources observed.
The Congress is reportedly banking on the support of Sangareddy MLA T. Jayaprakash Reddy (TRS rebel) to bolster the prospects of its candidates in Medak district.
What is the catch in the deal? The rebels may seek re-nomination in the next general elections on the Congress ticket. From the Congress point of view, the equations in the byelections are perceived to be "an entrance test" to the rebel TRS legislators.

cross stitch patters
jlucaJuly 11, 2004
Some time ago, Cross Stitch and Country Crafts published patterns for four covered bridges. I had the issues, but have somehow misplaced or lost them. Since we moved 1 1/2 years ago, they probably disappeared then. I would like to stitch the set. I believe they were in issues in late 1995 or early 1996. If anyone has these issues and would copy the instructions and send them to me I would be happy to pay for them. Please let me know. Thank you.

I am working in the financial investment industry and yet deeply schocked and ashamed by the behaviours of my "colleagues". Despite their roles in the current crisis, they keep playing the same games with what at best is total cynism.
We win, I win, we lose, you lose.
I am also surprised, although indeed not that much as big finance controls politicians, at the passivity of government and the people at large.
In other times, they would have been dragged in the street with tar and feathers, and may even had their heads on spikes.

Yes and no. Anyone who brings in more than they are paid will have hundreds of offers. Those who cannot will have no offers.
Send those who can bring in more than they are paid to the United States, we need them. You may keep the others.
Globally the average income is just 21k USD.
Progress can only come when anyone earning more than 21k USD has 90% of the excess taxed and distributed to those below 21k USD.
The US economy will benefit from any attempt to limit pay in Socialist countries. I am all for it for this reason. Send your wealthy financiers to the US.
I don't understand why anyone worries about this, these are private companies and only their shareholders pay the salaries. Who cares? It isn't our money that they get.
In absence of some form of regulation abuses will happen. Greed is alive and well. This is just a new form of the Robber Barron phenomenon, except now it is a distributed greed involving stock holders as well. As long as stock prices and dividends are high or going up, are complicit in abuses.
Antitrust laws are needed that will not allow any organization to get so large it can not be allowed to fail. If an organization is so large that it can not be allowed to fail, it is a type of monopoly. Bell Telephone was broken up because it got too large. Financial institutions have been exempt from that pressure. History has revealed that self regulation does not work for large organizations. Establishing guidelines for a minimum number of competitors in a business sector or restricting large organizations from not exceeding more than a 25% share of any market in a geographic area seems best. News media in an area had been regulated to prevent monopolies, but that was undermined several years ago. I would venture that competition and trust of a market sector rise and fall together. I would go farther and suggest that the decline in the newspaper industry is attributable to the decline in trust as the media ownership in area approached monopolies. Local newspapers ,however, have not suffered a decline in trust or readership.
Yes, this proposes more regulation or more government, but we already accept government protecting us from external threat and some internal threats. This is just another internal threat.
Dr. Ed
So the stealing will continue!
With taxpayers support this is not acceptable.
I have basically nothing against an incentive. But if the incentive is based on false conditions on what is best for the employee and the shareholder, I oppose.
It is interesting to see the banks can get away with this with out the intervention from the public.
Despite many rules/bills against efforts to manipulate the trading of shares, the main stakeholders (capital talks) can continue to do what ever they like. This is a scheme to steal from the little man, shame on them.
In Denmark a man was fined for playing /(cheating it was called) the quoted value on the stock exchange so he got his bank to pay a few kroner extra for his share, and subsequently his offer was withdrawn from the public. I think it is the bank, who should have been fined. Why did they not use the public theatre, then this could not have happened!
In US I have read it is now common to let computers run the scheme!
The problem is compounded by the lack of effective shareholder control over companies.
Small shareholders lack the votes and institutional shareholders, such as mutual funds, have shown little interest in actively directing the companies they invest in on behalf of others. Company management interests are coordinated. Shareholders interests are not. It's a highly frustrating situation for small shareholders and investors that took some of the worst lumps in the past year!
Many Boards of Directors have clearly failed in their stewardship duties. I suggest executive remuneration plans for public companies and all banks and finacial mangement institutions (public or private) should have to be reviewed against guidelines and approved by a government agency established to look after shareholder interests.
In three years, when the footing is solid, pay would naturally come up again. But we are in the midst of the throes created by years of bankers & maths creating complex products that were incomprehensible, and, in the end, unstable.
They should feel the fruit of that labor negatively. This perhaps will keep their risk in line with reality when they get up to bat again.
That young whippersnapper will be lucky to get to 50 and still have his health intact, and it is virtually certain he will not have a 50 year proffesional career.
At the end of the day it is a high pressure high stakes games that few people have the capacity to do successfully and that is why the remuneration is so high.
Bankers themselves do not want to erode their bonus pools by paying their colleagues 1 cent more than they have to - the laws of supply and demand apply.
Hi all,
I see nothing wrong with banker pay. If someone is willing to pay you for it, then my God get paid for it. It's that simple!
While it is clear that people hate a decline in the nominal pay they receive (enough to tolerate inflation and loss of their savings) -- not to say anything about the hardship that comes from reduced income, most of us appreciate that these are different times and that bankers are not civil servants whose pay and future pension/medical benefits cannot be cut. That's another story told well by the Economist in its articles about the coming bankruptcy of states that have relied on delayed comnpensation schemes.
We are told time and again that cutting bonuses might result in top bankers being poached overseas. But is this true ? How much could UK bankers expect to "earn"in comparable positions in other G8 countries ?
As a doctor retired after 50 years in practice it amazes me that a young whippersnapper can receive more remuneration in one year than my entire estate. I am not made any more cheerful by seeing the present pathetic interest rates on bank deposits. Prudent savers like me are being punished for the greed and improvidence of others.

Daniel Hudson left Double-A rehab start with elbow stiffness
Daniel Hudson made his first rehab start for Double-A Mobile on Tuesday afternoon.
Hudson pitched two innings giving up two hits, one run with one walk and a strikeout.
After the game, Hudson was on his way back to Phoenix, possibly with a setback. Nick Piecoro, of The Arizona Republic, is with the team in St. Louis and tweeted that Hudson's outing was shortened due to a re-emergence of pain in his elbow.
