The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the world. It is estimated that 5.5 million people worldwide are infected annually. Sexually active individuals have an 80 to 85% chance of being infected at some time in their life.
The virus invades human epithelial cells (a type of skin cell), including the oral mucosa, esophagus (throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (airway), conjunctiva of the eye, and the anal and genital areas. The time between exposure to the virus and having any symptoms can be 3 to 4 months, yet the virus can be transmitted to someone else during this time (unbeknownst to either person). Although HPV is considered a sexually transmitted infection, this can be misleading. It is transmitted by skin to skin contact, therefore traditional methods of protecting oneself against an STI, such as condoms can reduce, but not eliminate the risk of HPV infection. Infection can occur through skin to skin genital contact without intercourse.
Persons at higher risk for HPV infection include those with numerous lifetime sexual partners (the higher the number, the higher the risk), early age of first intercourse, history of other STIs, alcohol and drug use related to sexual behaviors, and partner's number of sexual partners.
The infection is most prevalent in women in the 20-24 year old age group, with 15-19 year olds being the second largest group. Prevalence decreases with age, dropping significantly after age 30. It is thought that the younger, developing cervix is more likely to be infected, but these infections tend to be short-lived and are usually cleared by the immune system. Cases of cervical cancer are extremely rare under age 30.
Researchers have identified 100 different strains of HPV, 40 of which can infect the anal and genital areas. These strains have been further divided into low and high risk strains, which we will address later. Many people think of HPV as the virus that causes genital warts, yet only a few of the 100 strains actually cause warts.
There is no treatment to rid the body of HPV, but 80% of infections are cleared by the body's immune system. For the 20% who develop chronic infection with HPV, the risk of cervical cancer is higher. If the HPV strain is one that causes genital warts, they can be treated by topical methods such as freezing, acid application or imiquimod (a medication used to boost local immune response). Surgical treatments include laser, excision, or CUSA (ultrasound).
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Approximately 500,000 new cases are diagnosed annually worldwide, 83% of which will be in developing countries (estimated 10,370 new cases in the US in 2005). There will be an estimated 273,000 deaths due to the disease annually, three-fourths of these in developing countries. Higher income nations have the Papanicolaou (pap) test to thank for a 75% decrease in cervical cancer cases over the past 50 years. Unfortunately, this test has not been successful in lower income nations due to cost, ability to get the test to women and once available, to get the results back to them. The Pap test has made great strides in catching cervical changes early, but it is not without problems. The traditional Pap test is not very sensitive (55-60% sensitivity), which means that up to 40-45% of the time that the test is read as normal, there is actually cervical dysplasia (abnormality) present. By performing the test annually, along with a manual exam, we increase the chance of detecting a cancer. Newer liquid based cytology tests, called Thin Prep ® and Sure Path ® , reportedly have a sensitivity of 84%, which is better, but still not great.
Cervical cancer is further broken down into 3 types: squamous cell carcinoma (about 75% of cases), adenocarcinoma (15-25% of cases), and rarely, adenosquamous (a combination of the two). It is recommended that women start screening with Pap smears within 3 years of becoming sexually active, but no later than 21 years old. Then annual testing with traditional Pap methods, or every 2 years with the liquid based cytology. Women who have had a hysterectomy should clarify with their surgeon whether or not they still have a cervix and whether they should continue screening.
Several different classification schemes have evolved over the years for characterizing Pap test results. Unfortunately, this is a continuing source of confusion. The most commonly used classification scheme is the Bethesda System. Learn more about interpreting pap test results.
Researchers have determined that HPV is found in almost 100% of cervical cancers worldwide. This is unique to cervical cancer, no other cancer has been found to have one central cause. Even the tie between smoking and lung cancer is not as strong, with only 80 to 85% of cases caused by smoking. Although HPV is necessary to the development of cervical cancer, it alone is not enough. About 80% of HPV infections are transient and resolve without treatment because the immune system is able to fight them off. Some factors that appear to increase the risk of HPV infection not clearing and possibly progressing to cancer include: cigarette smoking, oral contraceptive use for more than 5 years, multiple births, and poor nutrition. Studies have found smokers to be 2-3 times more likely to develop cervical dysplasia or cancer than nonsmokers. Several studies have showed a dose intensity relationship, the more tobacco smoked, the higher the risk. In addition, researchers have found that nicotine is present in the cervical cells of smokers.
There are 40 strains of HPV that can affect the anal and genital tracts and these are further divided into low risk and high risk strains. Thirteen strains are considered high risk, or more likely to progress to high grade lesions (HSIL, CIN 2 or 3) and possibly cancer, if not cleared by the immune system. These strains are: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68. Strains 16 and 18 are by far the most common types, and one or both are present in approximately 70% of cervical cancers worldwide. Despite this strong link, only a very small percentage of high risk HPV infections will ever become invasive cancer (estimated at 2%). The time between initial exposure and the development of cancer can vary from months to years, but the average time is thought to be 15 years. Unfortunately, the high risk HPV strains do not usually cause any symptoms to alert someone that they have the infection. The low risk strains are not considered a risk for cervical cancer, but they can cause low grade lesions (CIN 1) and several of these strains can cause genital warts.
Several years ago, a test was developed to identify high risk strains of HPV. The test is done on the same cells that are used in a Pap test. Studies have found the Hybrid Capture II test to detect the presence of high risk HPV in 83-100% (depending on the study) of high grade lesions (CIN 2 or 3, HSIL) or invasive cervical cancer.
In women over the age of 30, when both Pap test and high risk HPV tests are negative, the woman can wait 3 years for the next screening (though they should have an annual manual exam to check other areas of the woman's reproductive organs).
With a Pap result of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), women have the option to repeat the Pap in 6 months and if the result is the same, proceed to colposcopy for further evaluation. Alternatively, the cervical cells can be tested for high risk HPV strains. A Pap result of ASCUS, in conjunction with a negative HPV test, can be followed with a repeat Pap in 6 to 12 months. If either test is positive at that time, colposcopy should be performed. If the initial HPV is positive with an ASCUS Pap, colposcopy is warranted.
The test costs between $50 and $200, depending on the lab used. Many insurance companies cover the cost of the test if it is being used as screening for women over 30 (as this is recommended by several medical organizations). Some companies will cover the cost of HPV testing for women under 30 with an inconclusive or abnormal Pap test result. But many experts agree that abnormalities in young women are a result of transient infections and can be followed by repeat Pap testing in 6 to 12 months.
One thing to keep in mind, almost all women will have an HPV infection at some time in their life. The Hybrid Capture test does not have the ability to tell what HPV strain the person has, just whether or not they have any high risk strain. Multiple positive results over years could be different transient infections and cannot be assumed to be a persistent infection with one strain.
There has been a lot of talk about vaccines for HPV, but they are all still in development or in clinical trials. Merck and Glaxo SmithKline appear to be the first companies ready to apply for FDA approval (applying in early 2006 and 2007 respectively). Their vaccines are targeting the two most common HPV high risk strains, 16 and 18, which are responsible for 70% of cervical cancers worldwide. An important piece of patient education regarding these vaccines, is that they will still need to have Pap tests, as there are still eleven other HPV high risk strains that can lead to cervical dysplasia or cancer. The pharmaceutical companies have found that the vaccine is less effective if they add more strains to it, therefore they feel targeting the 2 most common types is best. Information available from ongoing trials report the vaccine to be about 90% effective in preventing HPV infection. Researchers feel the vaccine would be best given to adolescents ages 9-12, who have not yet been exposed to the virus. Early trials did not include these age groups, but are currently ongoing. In addition, it is not yet known how long the vaccine will protect women from HPV. Regardless of these issues, it is clear that this could be a major step in decreasing cervical cancer mortality in lower income countries.
Researchers have historically been looking at women and HPV because of the cervical cancer link, but men are getting a closer look. Obviously, men are a large part of the issue of HPV rates, so it makes sense to target them as well. Vaccines are only now being tested in men and adolescent boys.
Anal cancer rates have increased 160% in men from 1973 to 2000, which is very concerning to researchers (rates in women have increased 78%). One study found 88% of anal tumors studied contained HPV, suggesting it may be a causative factor. Several other factors also increased the risk: >14 lifetime sexual partners, receptive anal intercourse, and smokers were almost 4 times as likely to develop anal cancer. HPV has also been linked to penile cancer in men and head and neck cancers in both sexes.
Most men, like women, have no symptoms, unless they develop genital warts. Currently, aside from treating genital warts, there is no treatment for HPV in men. It is known that anal warts can be a precursor to anal cancer and these warts can be tested for high risk HPV strains. This can allow for surgical intervention for the patients at highest risk for developing anal cancer.
Knowledge about Human Papilloma Virus has grown tremendously in the last 10 years and is certain to continue. Healthcare providers and consumers will need to keep abreast with changes in practice in order to achieve improved health outcomes for women. Look to OncoLink for periodic updates!

DIY: Make Your Own Burlap Wreath
Tweet |
Have you seen the burlap wreaths for sale for $25, $45 even $69?!!? You know I wouldn't pay that! It is so easy for me to make one for less than $10 and they make great gifts too.
- Burlap ribbon (use your 40% off hobby shop coupon on this item if it's not already on sale)
- Wire wreath frame
- Wire
- Wire cutters
First, I secured the end of the ribbon to a portion of the wire frame with the wire.
Then, I just wove the fabric through the wire frame. Poof up the ribbon as much or as little as you like. I wove in and out of the spaces and twisted the ribbon to make loops go in different directions, fluffed them.
Add a contrasting ribbon to hang the wreath. I added my initial to personalize it. Just have fun with it to make it your own.
For step-by-step instructions, watch this instructional video that airs today on News on 6, News 9 , KMOV, Kens5, WGEM and KTXD:

- A Doorkeeper In God's Household
A Doorkeeper In God's Household
by John B. Hulst
Paperback, 248 pages, published by Dordt Press
Dordt College, Sioux Center, Iowa
A Doorkeeper in God's Household is an important historical document as it chronicles the nearly thirty years that John Hulst served at Dordt College--as College Pastor, Theology Professor, Dean of Students, Vice President for Student Affairs and, finally, College President. In addition, its early chapters give wonderful pictures of what it was like to grow up Christian Reformed in Grand Rapids in the 1940's, and what it was like to pastor both rural and urban CRC churches in the 50's and 60's. And it is more than a matter-of fact record, for Hulst has liberally scattered anecdotes throughout the memoir-stories that are tragic, comic, mischievous, heart-warming.
Hulst's memoir is the portrait of a man dedicated to serving God with his whole life-as friend, pastor, husband, father, teacher, counselor, committee member, and educational leader. And it is the story of a married couple, John and Louise Hulst, working side by side, faithfully responding to God's call to serve.

Thoracic surgeon Nabil Rizk discusses how the team of experts expedites treatment for patients, and uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat thoracic cancers when possible.
I am a general thoracic surgeon who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic cancers, including lung cancer, esophageal cancer, pulmonary metastases, mediastinal tumors, thymomas, and pleural mesothelioma. I have special interests in esophageal cancer surgery, lung cancer surgery, minimally invasive esophageal and lung surgery, and minimally invasive esophageal cancer and lung cancer diagnostic and staging procedures including endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and laparoscopy.
My primary research interest is in evaluating esophageal cancer treatment outcomes. As the director of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Esophagus Cancer Database, I have investigated questions which will allow clinicians to better tailor the treatment of esophageal cancer. This includes refining the staging of esophagus cancer by PET scan and EUS, better defining the pathologic staging of esophagus cancer, and evaluating the results of various surgical alternatives for esophageal cancer. In the laboratory, my focus is on improving molecular means of predicting treatment response in esophageal cancer, as well as investigating new technologies in animal models which might make esophageal cancer surgery safer and less invasive.

Scott Olsen faces Derek Lowe in today's series finale.
Scott Olsen returns to the mound today for the first time since late-May, hoping to recapture the form he displayed earlier this season before landing on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation. The Braves counter with sinkerball specialist Derek Lowe, who actually has struggled against the Nationals. Over the last two seasons, he's 1-4 with an ERA over 5.00 against the Nats.
Everyone's favorite benchwarmer, Michael Morse, gets the start in right field, even against a right-hander. Wil Nieves is behind the plate, giving Ivan Rodriguez the day off.
Check back throughout the afternoon for updates…

Adam Fu&#ing Kennedy again!!! He and Harris contributed more than anyone to the loss yesterday and about 15 games so far this season…..and why is Riggleman coming back again?
- Knoxville Nat - Jul 29, 2010 at 4:41 PM
JayB wrote:" He (Kennedy)and Harris contributed more than anyone to the loss yesterday…." How did AK contribute more than anyone to the loss yesterday? Hudson owned just about everyone in that lineup. If I recall correctly Kennedy had one base hit and might well have had another if the ball he hit up the middle had not hit Hudson. That ball was hit hard and might well have ended up as a base hit to CF setting up Zimmerman quite nicely for a RBI situation. Yes it turned into an out but your exaggerations are really starting to cross the line of credibility.
- Feel Wood - Jul 29, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Again, whatever happened to the plan to have Desmond bat second more often? He's only done it once since Riggleman announced the plan two weeks ago. At the time, Riggleman said he hadn't been batting Desmond second because he didn't have anyone else to bat eighth. But today he's found Nieves to bat eighth, yet Desmond's still not batting second.Did you know that in 1984 the band Talking Heads did a cover album of Jim Riggleman songs? Yeah, it was called Stop Making Sense.

I was sitting with my regular crowd of season ticket holders when Kennedy came up after two straight hits….1st and 3rd with one out…..we all looked at each other and said…..Double Play at the same time……sure enough….check Marks writing….he is the slowest guy on the team out of the box with a run on the line….that DB took for ever to develop and he was out by 5 steps….Harris 3 K's…….like that is a surprise.

JayB,Just because you keep repeating the same dribble doesn't mean you know anything about baseball.These are Kennedy's numbers for last year:.289 .348 .410 .758 and this was on 525 at bats; if he played daily his numbers would likely be in the same neighborhood. Ian; who you use as a positive example has these numbers:.252 .291 .379 .670 quit using microscopic examples to make your ridiculous points; if you want to have an intelligent discussion then do some homework.
- David - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:09 PM
Kennedy also has 11 SB and has yet to be caught. Its not Kennedy's offense production, which is not to far off his norm that concerns me it is his defense. This also applies to Desmond! Pitching and defense up the middle is not just a saying.
- Anonymous - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:14 PM
Nice game from Olsen. A couple of RBI's from Nieves. Nice team effort so far. Oh, and BTW, it's jsut a game. Enjoy!
- Knoxville Nat - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:15 PM
JayB,Tell me exactly how did Rizzo blow the Kennedy signing last winter? Once they were out of the Hudson deal who else was on the FA market for him to chase? And don't give me the same old "cheap Lerners" line, Hudson was/is a better player than Kennedy but he priced himself out of the market by demanding a multiple year contract when the Nats were looking for a one year deal. After Hudson, AK was the best available second basemen on the market for considerably less money.
- Doc - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:15 PM
Olsen hasn't thrown a hard slier yet. Not sure he can get by on a 90 mile an hour fastball and a changeup—but he's doing a good job of trying!
- Michael J. Hayde - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:17 PM
"If he can get through the top of the sixth unscathed and before the rain hits, that would have to go down as a fantastic performance from the lefty. Couldn't expect much more than six innings and two runs in his first start back from the DL."That was a very Bob Carpeterish thing for you to do, Mark, jinxing poor Olsen like that!
- Mark Zuckerman - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:20 PM
Michal J. Hayde: Well, technically, Olsen still did go six innings allowing only two EARNED runs, so I didn't totally blow it. But I know what you mean.

Error by Desmond–shocking! The more things change…

Hey.. C'mon… What do you expect? He's handled 4 or 5 prior to the error.Can't we cut a rookie a break?This is exactly who he has been through out his entire career. Maybe 2B is the answer once we find a real shortstop.
- DJ - Jul 29, 2010 at 6:38 PM
Anon @ 2:26…..Did you see the play? The ball was hit hard, it could've been ruled either way. He's had a very good day at the plate and at short.

Just heard from a writer friend in Philly who said everyone there is assuming Oswalt will start tomorrow, though that hasn't been made official yet. Roy Oswalt and Miss Iowa on the same night! What an event!
- Smatt1001 - Jul 29, 2010 at 7:18 PM
Now if only he'll have another short outing against the Nationals, like he did when we face him in Houston in May
- Bowdenball - Jul 29, 2010 at 7:26 PM
While it's painful to deal with the Phillies and their fans in the short term, everything that's happened with that team in the last year has been great news for the Nats. They are mortgaging their future to win now, picking up 30-something pitchers in exchange for their best prospects and handing Ryan Howard a crippling contract that is going to cost them Werth and Rollins and plenty more in coming years. The Nats were never gonna compete with them this year and maybe not even next year, so it's an absolute thrill to see the division power shoot themselves in the foot for 2012 and beyond, just when the Nat should be rounding into form.Chin up, Nats fans. When those intolerable jackasses invade our park this weekend, just remember that their time at the top is coming to an end.
- Anonymous - Jul 29, 2010 at 7:27 PM
Hope Olsen is the lead story in the moring. Nice job!
- Arlington Big Fish - Jul 29, 2010 at 7:46 PM
Re the intolerable jackasses: I got a call a couple of weeks ago from the Nats ticket office, warning me that a group had bought a large block of tickets around my 2 seats for the July 31 game. I said, "AHA!!, Phillies Fans." He wouldn't confirm or deny who they were, but after my experience with the jackasses on Opening Day, I took the hint & upgraded my seats to the Club Level — where (I hope) there's less of a chance I'll be surrounded.I learned 2 things from this little episode:1. The Nats really are trying to keep their season-ticket fan base happy.2. The screaming & moaning from us about the Opening Day debacle made an impression on someone in a position of authority.
- David - Jul 29, 2010 at 8:34 PM
Dunn goes yard!!! Pay the man Shirley.
- Anonymous - Jul 29, 2010 at 8:59 PM
I like the Nats. I think they're improving. 2 out of 3 from the Braves. Are the Braves bad? No. Are we as bad as some people here say? No. And Olsen is a great story. Hoping for more of the same over the next few weeks.
- Mighty Morse - Jul 29, 2010 at 9:19 PM
@ Anon 1:45PMWilkin Ramirez is one of the Tigers top prospects and played for the world team during the Futures Game All-Star weekend.So what do you think Mark, does Rizzo take a flier on this kid? He is a power hitting OF who needs a bit of plate discpline but has a big upside.

This is really interesting take on the concept Charlemagne.I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think it will be a great use of new ideas and informations. Thank you for sharing it with us
agen sbobet, 338a, taruhan bola indonesia
I think for every grade downgraded for French Govt Debt, the UK's debt should be downgraded twice that amount.
The Anglo-Saxon biased rating agencies should be banned from accessing the sensitive economic data of countries.
We all know that there lies a hidden agenda for Pax Britannica to swallow up wealth everywhere, cheat people with their failed economic models which publication such as the Economist were set up to LECTURE countries like France to thatcherize or fail and witness the collapse of the Eurozone.
The state of UK is in shambles; it is only masked by the positive effect of systematically devaluing the grand old Sterling Pound. If not for having a separate currency, the UK would have replace Greece as the top casualty in the Eurozone.
to RobrtoX and all others interested in the Rating Agencies saga
The EU has has just approved new rules for Rating Agencies issuance of ratings.
It's like Neil Armstrong's descending on the moon: a small step to make ratings agencies accountable, a big step for honest and decent financial operators.
This is not as off topic as it seems.
If anybody has the patience to read my reply below to RobertoX will find it would have prevented Fitch (then a French owned rating agency) from having helped France's president in his arguments against German Chancellor.
More important, it would have prevented Fitch from launching the second wave of financial turmoil in the Euro zone, consequently, in the world«'s finances.
As the CEO of BlackRock Australia predicted after his country's Federal Court ruling against S&P, that was the beginning of a wave.
Let's hope so.
Why have so many otherwise intelligent people forgotten the sub-prime crisis and why the ratings of the 3 US-owned / influenced rating agencies should be worth a candle.
to Roberto X
Totally with you that pronouncements of three main Rating Agencies are not worth even the flame of the candle, never mind the candle itself.
But to be entirely precise, Fitch was until February(? not fully sure and unimportant) 60% owned by Fimalac, a French big finance operator.
Not that it changed much the lack of ethics.
Le tout Paris used to make the comment that M. de Lacharrière, founder and owner of Fimalac was one of the most important supporters (in all senses of the word) of the previous French president, M. Sarkozy.
When the Greece crisis started (2010), immediately two schools of thought prevailed. The German one of inflexibility and prevention of moral hazard; the French one based on the danger of the domino theory. If Greece fails, a few others will fail...
M. Sarkozy and Mrs Merkel had planned a meeting during which this question would inevitably be trashed. The meeting was to be held in Paris at 12 noon.
That morning at 10 thirty Paris time, Fitch downgraded violently the rating of the next bail-out candidate, giving thus M. Sarkozy ample ammunition to convince Mrs. Merkel.
We all know there are coincidences, but some look more plausible than others...
Fitch could at least have waited a couple of days to look a little less amenable to political pressure.
It's not only Rating Agencies owned by McGraw Hill, Capital Investments, one of Buffett's flagships and on and on that behave in the the interest of their owners.
A French owned rating agency did that too, in a comical way as in the example above.
Thank God, the Australian Federal Court has fired the first powerful salvo against rating agencies.
An update barely touched above: Hearst have purchased in February (?) 10% of Fimalac's holding in Fitch. It is now a 50/50 Fimalac/Hearst partnership if no other changes of stock have taken place without my noticing it.
Even when Fitch was majority owned by French interests it had dual headquarters in NYC and the City.
To avoid soiling Paris charm?
Thank you for your correction re Fitch ownership - my knowledge of the subject pales before your's. Nevertheless,if you have ever viewed the Sony documentary, 'Inside Job', you may remember the senate hearing and that look on the face of Richard Fuld; that of a coke-fuelled madman, living in a world of perverted ego and power, oblivious to the reality he was sitting in and tghe nightmare he was creating. Not only did he bring down Lehman Bros. virtually single handed, I see him as the spark that ignited the whole so-called sub-prime collapse (it was not just about the mortgages, was it)that has cost the world trillions of $s and millions of jobs.
The rating agencies were supporting Lehman's madness up until a couple of days before its employees were leaving with their cardboard boxes (a quaint US tradition, it would appear.)
Among Fuld's fellow criminals, still walking free with their $millions, are Henry Paulson,the wizened Greenspan and that pudgy toad of greed ("freedom') Larry Summers, Joseph Cassano, Tim Geigner et al.
to RobertoX
Thank you for kind words but my poor knowledge doesn't cast a shadow over anyone else's. Wish I knew a little more.
Should you have the patience to read my post history (inadvisable, almost 200 boring pages) you'd find I have often broached the subject, mostly the improper relationship between owners and rating agencies.
"Inside Job" was the first widely noticed step on the subject.
Later, small Denmark and smaller economy Portugal rescinded contracts with Moody's, at the time a boldish step.
Italy is doing the same but the first real serious blow is Australia's Federal Court ruling against S&P.
I do hope it is really the a show stopper against the gangs that took over once respectable big finance.
The last parallel we have isn't too encouraging: a criminal gang infiltrated the respectable institutions of a very civilized country.
They found a talented demagogue and although they never got more than 1/3 of the popular vote they managed to rule the country and launch the worst tragedy the world has suffered in a couple thousand years.
That was the 30's, the criminal demagogue was Hitler and the tragedy was WW2.
I'm sure we won't get that far this time by a long chalk.
But better safe than sorry.
Just in case.
Ever seen a member of PIIGS club giving 150 billons to "Europe" since the inception of the euro,and giving recently many billions to Greece,Spain and the various european life savers?Ever seen a member of the PIIGS club giving in the last years 3 billions to "Europe" more than he gets,every year?If you have never seen this Country,please come to Venice,Florence and Rome.You are welcome.
Being both a lover of Dutch and Portuguese, both countries I know very well, I have felt a bitter after taste from the acrimonious debate on the otherwise absurd exchange between two factions I had believed were no longer in existence.
So, a joke rather than a plague on both your houses:
Afrikaner (mostly Dutch descendants) definition of Dutch: Die Nederlanders het diep sakke en kort arms (for language impaired:the Dutch have deep pockets and short arms)
Brazilians (50% at least descendant of Portuguese)A única coisa que os portugueses inventaram foi a roda; a tábua estava mal pregada e começou a girar (the only thing the Portuguese ever invented was the wheel; the skid board was not well nailed and it started turning around).
Come on! Portugal seems to be recuperating surprinsingly well and the Dutch seem to have have hit heavy waters but so has the whole world.
We are all in deep trouble not to use the word mostly associated with Till Eulenspiegel's pranks.
If at this juncture we don't all give hands we won't get out of it.
Dear sanmartinian,
I couldn't agree with you more. My point has always been one of 'détournement' whereby I try to force my readers' to change roles and for one being on the wrong side of the 'name calling' which has been paramount to this crisis from the start.
I am perfectly aware the Dutch are key and of the utmost importance for Europe and have always been very good Europeans, and have again shown their wisdom in the last elections.
I have nothing against Holland, apart from the theft of the crown jewels of course, which I do blame on incompetence on the part of their authorities, but I am not stupid to the point of generalising to the entire population of Holland!
PS: and to be fair I also blame it on the Portuguese authorities who lent those items for exhibition in such lenient ways. It might have been the Fundação de Bragança, which has always been badly run (IMO).
Dear pedrolx,
I know very well your intentions.
I'm not sure about the intentions of big finance after 2008 with, first, the idiotic Euro war; second, whatever is following about which I'm not quite sure yet.
As I once said, there's never a big world wide convulsion, as the one we are now getting ready to enter, without a huge number of idiots preparing the ground first.
I love allegories: The Euro war, a silly affair if I ever saw one, always seemed similar to WW2 in financial terms only, obviously.
A number of countries, Northern; Southern; North Western; South Eastern; were foolish enough to be excessively profligate and thus weakening themselves and opening their flanks to an obvious insidious attack that inevitably would come.
They looked exactly like France, Britain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland in military terms just prior to WW2.
The attack inevitably came from a gang of criminals who had taken over some previously respectable institutions.
Fortunately, gangs tend never to be very intelligent or savvy; so Nazis were defeated after a long struggle; so were the illegitimate speculators (there are legitimate speculators) that attacked the Euro and lost wads of their own banknotes.
Most countries that entered WW2 were either destroyed or badly mauled.
The same with the Euro war; reconstruction will take time and a lot of effort.
After WW2, a new peculiar conflict arose from it; anti-nature alliances during the war made it inevitable. It is normally called the Cold War.
It took a some three years for everybody to recognize who was who on either side.
Maybe I'm taking my allegory too far but it appears to me we are following a similar path now in non lethal financial matters...
Holland has lost of qualities; it has also, as everybody else, lots of defects.
The same applies to Portugal and all countries I know, with the exception of Ruritania and Borduria.
Much to the displeasure of Accrux, Borduria, my beloved motherland has qualities only, while Ruritanians are just nasty brutes.
Despite the nonsense above, and that of a few posters here, in the next financial cold war, whatever their respective qualities and weaknesses, Holland and Portugal and quite a few other countries will be on the same side of the fence as they were during the Cold War.
If I can be solemn for a moment- not really my style - people who have a habit of defending human dignity always tend to get together despite their occasional tantrums or small bits of wickedness.
And much worse than the theft of anybody's crown jewels are the peculiar event of regular statue thefts from Copenhagen churches by their Swedish neighbours.
It's so bad I once watched a Danish tour guide nearly having an apoplexy as he was explaining to my wife one such atrocious occurrence perpetrated centuries ago.
Pity Swedane has wisely abandoned this thread; otherwise we could have one of our nonsensical but amusing arguments about this...
Not wishing to use "edit", apologies for an "a" too many and an "are" instead of "is". I changed my mind in mid course and have only noticed the errors after posting the above text.
Probably there are others but my spectacles are betting worse everyday. Eyes are all right, thank you...
French leaders play down triple A loss... We must be dreaming! Sarkozy must be dead by now because he told us if France lost its triple A he would be dead!!! What a mess! Thank you S&P, which just shows that economics is well beyond politics. Be it left or right, governments should keep to financial rules. We're living on the edge... Listen to AEROSMITH's SONG and that could ring you a bell! Who are you to grade or degrade a country BASTARDS! Who are the PIGS?
Do you know the Suede? They were known as the LONDON Suede in the US. They were quite famous in the 90s. They have a song called 'We are the pigs'.
Although France is having economic woes, the Schaeffler Group helps keep the economy of Germany and many other countries in economic growth. The German family owned company manufactures ball bearings for new cars among other items. Can you think of any other global companies that is keeping the Eurpoean economy growing?
Moody's, S&P and Fitch (credit-rating agencies) have downgraded France from the top rating that France diminishes its Triple-A credit-rating standard due to confronting economics problems.
Moody's analysis is close to reality about the economics problems of France because PIIG'S countries bank's bad credit or loans have affected the financial credibility of France in the eyes of their investors that might be possible to crowding-out the investment out-flow to other region as inefficiency of banking sector's management which will lead to depreciate the economics activities inform of low growth rate and less competitiveness in domestic and international markets. Therefore Moody's understand the investment risk in France that euro-zone financial troubles are seemed to resolved impossible in neat future, hence Moody's warned and attention the investors to be cautioned to invest in France.
Another reason could be persisted in Moody's analytical identification for its cut rating grade from Triple-A that Hollande has cited about economic structural reforms to face economics challenges especially fiscal policies regarding tax reforms that capitalist or upper class must pay high rate than working class people.
There is another genuine reason that world economics trend is in form of transitive way and market competitiveness is growing among several countries like China, South Korea and India. They have captured the markets of Europe and Asian by filling the low cost of goods production through their cheap labour cost advantages which are not possible to EU courtiers.
As we think that socialist Hollande is danger to capitalist economy that capitalist free to earn and accumulate wealth without to fulfill social restriction or to make economy welfare for societies. While socialist economy restrict the government to make policies first to benefits society of their resources and abide to individual benefits.
Now-days shivering Europe economy is demanding the reforms that the common and working class have understand the evilness of capitalist economy, so the fear persisting that Europe may follow the economics norms of socialist economy to get collective benefits.
it's beyond that Moody isn't warning the investors of a risky France but is pressing France to adopt the Merkelivvi austerity plan, otherwise the euro : BOOM !
Seems that the investors don't care of Moody, still they are rushing on France's Debt as a safe heaven
Who are you and Why are you calling people pigs? Are you a voracious animal yourself?
I see you are another pig expert. Maybe this book could help you in your next comments:
Why do you complain when some people have a bad sense of humor and call the Portuguese and their neighbors "pigs", when you call the Dutch "thieves"?
Your double standard is nothing short of shocking! LOL
"Seems that the investors don't care of Moody, still they are rushing on France's Debt as a safe heaven"
I told you so.
Thanks to Mr Draghi cranking up the printing presses, there's so much money floating around, and it has to go somewhere.
The only problem: it isn't going where it is needed most, to the EU member states that are de facto in default such as Greece and Portugal. That is because investors aren't stupid, LOL
But good for France, yes.
I don't think so, it's rather because France is traditionally a good client for the markets, stable and with a solid economical ground, in these troubled times. The investors if they don't gain money, are certain that their assets will not vanish in the day
That was one more of your standard and poor remarks. Moody as allways.
De facto, Portugal is not in default. Its paying all his debts, including the usurious interests caused by the professional rumor spreading agencies.
I'm one person.
The anglo press is omnipresent.
Get it? Or do you also need me to make you a drawing so I can make if 'simple' for you.
What you cannot stand about me is that I speak the things no one else has the courage to say , and that worse of all they are true.
Now tonight go to bed imagining how you'd feel like if you ran into press articles where the Dutch were called thieves on a daily basis.
You'll have to apply for a new victim card soon Pedro. FISH is catching up with PIIGS.
@ Pedro:
You are fully entitled to fell insulted by the use of the term "PIGS" w/ regard to your country and others (I make a point of never using it, btw).
I can also understand that you demand respect for the way Portugal is trying to recover, and I think you deserve it.
What, however, either amuses me or ticks me off is when you create an alterantive reality in which up is down and down is up, and where those who actually come to the help of you guys are somehow to blame for the mess. I don't mind helping a partner in trouble. But I'd like to know he'd do so the same for me if I was in need (with Portugal, I've no doubt about that), and I'd like not to be insulted while applying bandages and checking his pulse.
And on that note.
"fell" = feel
just unveiled : Mersch is officially appointed at the ECB, inspite of the EU parliament recommandation. Democracy in EU is great !
Today, France isn't alone on the razor blade edge too:
Britian fears to be the next:
while Germany might be the next:
some say that it's going to be bad everywhere on the planet
But still French debt is negociated at low interests
and if Moody was making a political pression, urging Hollande to hasten his promissed reforms?
Boff, these agencies that were giving AAA to Lehman & Brother, AIG... just before their crash !
"Analysts at the three biggest credit rating agencies who gave positive, investment-grade ratings to AIG and Lehman Brothers up until their collapse have not been fired or disciplined, the heads of the agencies admitted at a Congressional hearing today.
Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch Ratings all maintained at least A ratings on AIG and Lehman Brothers up until mid-September of last year. Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy Sept. 15; the federal government provided AIG with its first of four multibillion-dollar bailouts the next day."
"At the hearing today, the exchange between Speier and the agency chiefs was particularly contentious.
"You had rated AIG and Lehman Brothers as AAA, AA minutes before they were collapsing. After they did fail, did you take any action against those analysts who had rated them?" Speier asked. "Did you fire them? Did you suspend them? Did you take any actions against those who had put that kind of a remarkable grade on products that were junk?"
We don't even need to do much . They disgrace themselves anyway.
Put banners outside your doors!
From the Economist's "Business this week" newsletter:
C'est la vie: The French government shrugged off Moody's cut of one notch to its triple-A rating on French sovereign debt. The sizeable market in French bonds also took little notice.
Anyone with two ounces of grey cells has lost any respect for the traditional rating agencies: S&P, Moody's, Fitch.
First their less than stellar performance with Lehman Bros and others as well as during the silly Euro war.
Then it is becoming more widely known that the many shareholders of these agencies are a number of companies that benefit (or oftener lose money) from their pronouncements.
Such as very secretive Capital Investments, McGrawHill, one of Buffett flagships, Fimalac, now Hearst and on and on.
Small Denmark and even smaller Portuguese economy important clients mostly kicked Moody's from business.
Italian courts are busy with S&P and Fitch.
Australia's Federal Court kicked S&P where people are supposed to be kicked.
The brand new head of BlackRock Australia (itself some time ago listed as a shareholder of rating agencies) "predicts waves from S&P Court Ruling".
So, what did you expect?
When people here and elsewhere some three years ago started complaining about credit agencies' misbehaviour, the standard reply of market worshipers was that market knew best.
So apparently they do.
They are not paying any attention to credit agencies any longer.
Before anyone misinterprets my words: I believe markets are the most efficient tool invented up to know to rule economies.
A worshiper, I ain't.
Markets can be and are easily manipulated.
We have to learn how to prevent it.
Perhaps listening to people who criticize realistically situations before harm is done may help.
Excellent comment.
to Gominique II
Thank you for kind words.
Has anyone asked the question of whether "rating agencies" SHOULD be making defacto political judgements on soveriegn nations? These were the same folks who gave almost fraudulent ratings on bonds that nearly blew apart the financial system in 2008-2010. I do not intend to argue about the nature of political economy here, except to say that the current concept of "free markets" is a economic fiction rather like the "state of nature" arguement in the 18th century. We have seen how the latter justified brutality in the name of "lo stato". Markets are regulated and actively manipulated by both publc and private instruments, and we are supposed to have societies governed by an open, democratic process? What are the contradictions when one crosses over into the other? Where is the balance?
"Has anyone asked the question of whether "rating agencies" SHOULD be making defacto political judgements on soveriegn nations?"
Plenty have, making a clear distinction between the factual assessment of default risk on the basis of debt and revenue trends, and the parroting of off-the-hook mantras about statism and labour market fluidity.
However that was in France, and therefore easily dismissed as yet more ignorant froggish Socialist twaddle.
Thank you milord for making your voice heard.
Moody bleus ? Can TE explain what it means ? It does not mean anything in French ... or there is some humor I don't get here ...
Humour might be stretching it, but "Moody Blues" are a band and I would guess that the sub-editor is hinting at the French, sometimes referred to as "Les Bleus", being a bit unhappy or "Moody" at being downgraded. Again.
The Wall St Journal ran the same story under 'Les Moody Blues'. They presumably calculated that an American readership would be unable to translate 'Bleus'. Then again, I don't recall TE running 'Gli Moody Azzurri' for Italian downgrades. Apart from being used to denote the football/rugby teams of France,'Les Bleus' is also the title of a sitcom about well-intentioned but incompetent policemen - sounds a bit like a ratings agency, really!
'Moody's blues' would probably be more accurate.
"They presumably calculated that an American readership would be unable to translate 'Bleus'."
Given the fact that under French law even the words Yes and NO must be translated into French to respect the laws, I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
to all of those who are bashing the rating agencies please show me at least a minimum amount of evidence that they are downgrading to serve the interest of others rather than to provide objective truths....and no saying that Anglo Saxons are out to destroy the French is not a acceptable form of evidence.
There are two great-grandmothers of Moody's staff agents walking down the street.
By looking at their rears, you denote the granny on the right has got a much better defined rear than the granny on the left.
Yet, Moody's give an Aaa rating to the granny on the left instead and only a Ba rating to the granny on the right! Instead of the opposite!
They're not even good at rating their great-grandmother's rears!!!
I don't think they have any particular agenda. I just think they're morons. And, for what it's worth, I pitched to rating agencies and emerged with ratings a couple of notches higher than were needed - let alone justified.
@ CAlique: " a minimum amount of evidence??"
Are you serious? Since you asked for a minimum I send you a link:
Thanks God you didn't ask for a "maximum amount of evidence".
"The Economist" server have not enough disk space for it.
HOW THE NETHERLANDS IS ROBBING TAXES, for dummies
"In global rankings for flow of capital, the Netherlands is always up there in the top ten with countries such as Switzerland, the CAYMAN ISLANDS, Ireland and Luxembourg. These are all relatively small economies with massively disproportionate financial sectors.
They are links in a chain of financial centers, which enable multinational concerns, banks and hedge funds to pump inconceivably huge flows of capital around the world. These financial flows bear no relation whatsoever to any actual economic activity in the country where they appear on the books.
"The Dutch government should be asking critical questions about the tax haven created by a small army of 15,000 tax experts, notaries and legal specialists at the Zuidas business district in Amsterdam. The taxation revenue of one billion Euros in the Netherlands is generated at the expense of many times more tax revenue lost by other countries."
"At a time when Europe is creaking under the burden of a painful debt crisis, the Netherlands is acting as an important link in a network that enables major multinationals and banks to shirk their tax obligations. While everyone is being forced to tighten their belts, from Athens to Madrid to Amsterdam, those with the broadest shoulders get off scot-free and the legitimacy of the tax regime is undermined in the process.
The Netherlands is playing a hypocritical role in the crisis by accusing other countries of irregularities and incompetence while it offers banks and multinationals a haven from which to operate."
The Double Irish-Dutch Tax Sandwich is one of the several ways how the Dutch are robbing taxes. Just open the following link where you can click the illustration and go through an elucidative slide show
Conclusion :
The Netherlands are just behaving as smart thieves, which is something no one can accuse Portugal, a poor but honest country, trying to pay his debts plus usurious interest rates.
However if European leaders dont change the laws and keep thinking that robbery is legal, probably Portugal will have to act the same way and a tax war with the Dutch will start soon. Historically Portugal use to win the wars against The Dutch.
I'd love to see the reaction of those who are now defending the Dutch robbery when some multinacionals start opening subsidiaries in Portugal in order to pay half of the taxes they are paying in The Netherlands. (whatever half means. Its all proffit.)
The mask has fallen.
Once a thief always a thief.
@ Francisco Lebre + Pedro:
Let me repeat because it fits so nicely in here:
The fact of the matter is that countries like the Netherlands are extending help to countries like Portugal, and that the former make a positive contribution to European integration, while the latter put it at risk.
I have no doubt that the Portuguese would be as solidary as the Dutch if they were in a similarly strong position. But the fact is, they aren't.
Nobody is expecting you to say thank you for the help you are receiving. But at least have the decency to shut up when you take it.
Josh + US + Lux:
Portuguese are indeed helpful. We are like this. We were like this. We will be like this. Its our brand mark. We are helpful. Actually we are helpful with Dutch tourists and Dutch residents in Portugal. For my own experience we are much more helpful with Dutch than they are with us. What can I say : We are helpful. Period. We like to be that way. We feel happy being that way.
So. Honestly. The problem here is not about who is more or less helpful. I don't care about that. The problem is: Dutch is not helping Portugal. Dutch are robbing our taxes and complaint about us. If you add the tax robbery to the equation you will see that we are creditors from the Netherlands. They have to thank us. The fact is that we are (indirectly) helping Dutch.
If someone rob you (your taxes) and then use your robbed money to lend to you (with interests) he is not really helping you. Right? Is this so difficult to understand?
You can read this link,
and all the links inside that page. That is useful and helpful.
I know you are a smart, intelligent person. You will understand this article. In the bottom of your conscience you will agree with us. Your pride, however, will lead you to reply this post denying what your good side is telling you.
But since I'm Portuguese I, in advance, will forgive your reply. We are profoundly christians and we will forgive the ones that are crucifying us for our sins. Even the Judas and Pilates among our European "Community".
@ Francisco Lebre + Pedro:
If the Dutch are such horrible people, and you Portuguese are such saints - why do you still take money from them?
Do you work for the Caimans?
Dutch take money from us. And from US too.
Just look at this:
Another instructive link
I read your link. Essentially it says the Dutch have more investor friendly tax arrangements than Portugal. That is unambiguously not stealing but healthy tax competition. You are welcome to set up similar tax arrangements in Portugal.
"healthy tax competition" as you called it, means, in this case, TAX EVASION from a country to another.
TAX EVASION is a crime anywhere , even in The Netherlands.
Dutch are accomplices of that crime and should be ashamed of it.
That is unambiguously stealing and not friendly.
There is nothing in your links to support your allegation of tax evasion.
Read, learn and try to be intellectually honest
I can't take you seriously. Your last link was a waste of time: a critique of tax competition.
"I can't take you seriously. Your [FranciscoLebre's] last link was a waste of time: a critique of tax competition."
Well, that's what I thought. -
Seriously, the EU would be a much better place if they instituted a rule that the EU budget must be designed in a way, that at least 50 % + 1 member state are net contributors (right now, there are 9 contries financing the whole circus, while 16 - and soon 17 - only have to win when the whole thing gets more bloated).
Otherwise, this happy-go-lucky approach to European integration (good, when there's manna falling from the skies - bad, when you are supposed to make a postive contribution) will become uncontrollable. Not just in Portugal.
I wish I was working IN the Caymans. LOL
Ireland is learning...
Soon all the others will do the same... Great is'n it?
Lets the tax war begin !!
hmm I though that that you were like " un poisson dans l'eau" for the Caimans
Brass plate companies are frauds. Even a kid understands that.
That's the left wing view. I prefer the legal view.
Nothing is suposed to last for ever. The rise and fall of civilisations, Empires and coutries are a natual process. Good for humanbeings to come down to earth. I hope chinese, Indians, africans take over in next centries the political and economical power.
Portuguese and Dutch (see below) were already quarrelling four centuries ago.
Nihil novi sub sole.
you don't need to go that far in time.
never heard of the battle of nuremberg?
PS: Portugal won!
PS2: as you can clearly see, they started it!
No, I did not, football is not among my hobbies. I do know the Virgin of Nuremberg ("la vergine di Norimberga"·...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLf6UrKb8DQ
I watched your clip (without the sound track, which is horrible). Good, but just 1-0? I prefer the battle of Pernambuco (first battle of Guararapes) in 1648...
Yeah the music was quite bad but couldn't find anything better.
The Dutch were mere toothless sailors who were hired by the Portuguese Crown to embark on the caravels to the new world. They merely climbed the social ladder using the most typical way of doing so even today, through lies, treachery, and theft.

Turner Classic Movies, in an effort to eventually get articles up for all the movies in their database, assign films without articles to folks like me to write them up. By coincidence, I was recently assigned The True Story of
Jesse James, directed by Nicholas Ray, just as Tony Dayoub was asking film bloggers to contribute to his Nicholas Ray blogathon at Cinema Viewfinder.
I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell what the studio thought of this idea but just in case you're completely unfamiliar with the workings of studio heads who make the decisions, the reaction was something along the lines of, "Are you out of your fucking mind?!" He was, to a degree, but that's another story.
So Ray went back to the drawing board and came up with Plan B: Cast Elvis Presley and shoot on location in Missouri and Minnesota. Ray was convinced that Presley had the real life country boy turned superstar experience to make the film work. If he was going to present Jesse James as a kind of pre-20th century sex symbol, why not make the statement obvious and cast the man responsible for sending shivers of fear down the spines of good, honest, hard-working, boring, stupid, dumbassed Americans.
The studio nixed that too. They wanted to promote their in-house contract players, specifically Robert Wagner who they thought could catch fire with a starring role like Jesse James. They were wrong for two reasons. One should have been obvious, the other was an opportunity missed that could've made all the difference.
The first one, the one that should have been obvious, was that Robert Wagner, despite being a talented actor, had nowhere near the same level of charisma as Elvis Presley and despite sporting a pompadour throughout the movie (bet you never knew James had a pompadour), Wagner just doesn't come across as anything other than bland. He's got the look (they manage to get his shirt off multiple times) but not much else. Jeffrey Hunter, as Frank James, is much better and Alan Hale, Jr (later to play the Skipper on Gilligan's Island) is the best of all, playing Cole Younger with the kind of flair and energy that Wagner can only imagine.
The second sinker of the movie, the great missed opportunity, was the decision to not play up Jesse James' death wish. Ray wrote scenes - and filmed them! - of Jesse being told he wanted to die. Ray wanted Jesse to be shown setting up his own death by manipulating Robert Ford. Sound familiar? That hypothesis would become the basis of the 1983 book, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and later the film adaptation with Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. Oh, it had been theorized since the day James was shot but no one in the movies bothered to go there until the book was released. Nicholas Ray could have beaten them all to the punch and made the movie a much deeper, profound psychological study. But the studio said "No."
According to Robert Wagner, Ray was in a daze for most of the filming, high on drink or drugs. At least, that's what Wagner saw. He writes that no one on the set knew which Ray was going to show up each day and that direction from him was minimal and confusing. Ray probably didn't care at that point. Everything he wanted to do with the movie had been shot down. He was left with nothing but the "inspiration" of a paycheck and the film suffers for it.
What might have been.
This post is a part of The Nicholas Ray Blogathon hosted by Tony Dayoub at Cinema Viewfinder.

Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, mentioned the search in his book, "Presumed Guilty, Casey Anthony: The Inside Story." The search was not introduced at her trial for killing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, and she was acquitted.
WKMG-TV aired an investigative report Tuesday night that says the search occurred an hour later than Baez said in his book, the Orlando Sentinel reported. That would put it after Anthony's father, George, left for work.
Caylee, whose skeletal remains were found months later near the home in Orlando she and her mother shared with her grandparents, was only reported missing a month after she was last seen in June 2008. Anthony at first claimed she had been taken by a babysitter and later, at her trial, said the child drowned accidentally and she reluctantly agreed with her father's demand to hide the body.
The TV station also said the Orange County sheriff's department still did not have most of the browser information from the Anthonys' computer when Casey was tried. The report was billed as information that might have convinced jurors to convict Anthony.
