Hiram is a city in Paulding County, Georgia, United States. As of 2011, the population is 2,332.[4] The city was named after Hiram Baggett, the town's first postmaster,[5] and is currently the home of country music star Travis Tritt.
Hiram is located at 33°51′56″N 84°46′29″W / 33.86556°N 84.77472°W (33.865575, -84.774593).[6]

At the intersection of US Highway 278 and Georgia State Route 92, Atlanta's tallest buildings can be seen hazy and gray brown.
The past decade saw a tremendous increase in the populations of Dallas and Hiram, as well as Paulding County.
Dallas and Hiram more than doubled in population from 2000 to 2010, according to figures from the U.S. Census. Dallas, Paulding's county seat, went from an overall population of 5,056 in the year 2000 to 11,544 in the 2010 census—just over a 128 percent increase.
But Hiram's growth was even more explosive over the last decade, jumping to 3,546 from 1,361-- an increase of more than 160 percent.
The county's numbers also swelled, but not at the rate experienced by Dallas and Hiram. From 2000's population of 81,678, the county saw nearly three-quarters of that total adding to its resident count, bringing it to 142,324.
As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 3543 people and 1,538 households residing in the city. The population density in 2000 was 452.5 people per square mile (174.67/km²). There were 506 housing units at an average density of 168.2 per square mile (64.9/km²). The racial makeup of the city in 2010 was 60.88% White, 32% African American, 0.22% Native American, 1.04% Asian, 2.74% from other races, and 3.02% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.54% of the population.
There were 481 households out of which 38.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 55.9% were married couples living together, 14.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.7% were non-families. 19.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.83 and the average family size was 3.20.
In the city the population was spread out with 28.4% under the age of 18, 11.4% from 18 to 24, 33.7% from 25 to 44, 19.3% from 45 to 64, and 7.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 32 years. For every 100 females there were 99.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 96.2 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $50,069, and the median income for a family was $51,705. Males had a median income of $36,048 versus $24,483 for females. The per capita income for the city was $19,254. About 4.1% of families and 5.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.4% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.

Women in Medicine
BUFFALO, NY - For nearly four decades, the late Mary Ellen Rybak '71, MD, worked tirelessly to find targeted, effective treatments for cancer. Her goal was simple: to help others who needed a cure. Rybak also steadfastly advocated for women in medicine.
"After Mary Ellen's passing, I received notes from more than 100 women whom she influenced," says Thomas Griffin, MD, Rybak's husband of 37 years. "When she began her medical career it wasn't - and still isn't- a level playing field for women." He adds, "Years ago, we held identical positions at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Mary Ellen's salary was half of mine."
Rybak specialized in oncology and hematology - the diagnosis and treatment for diseases of the blood, including leukemia. She was a dedicated researcher and developed new drugs for Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development. As a consultant for a biotechnology firm, Rybak implemented the long-term clinical strategy for MyVax® personalized immunotherapy, which helps the body fight cancer with its own cells. Rybak also developed targeted gene treatments using DNA cultivated in a laboratory to fight head and neck, colorectal, liver and ovarian cancer. Rybak worked as a medical oncology consultant for MultiVir Inc. at the time of her death in 2013.
According to her husband, Rybak spoke fondly of her Canisius experience and how her bachelor's degree in biochemistry prepared her for a career in medicine.
"Mary Ellen was so grateful for her Jesuit education," says Griffin. "The professors taught her to think critically and gave her a solid foundation for her studies at Harvard Medical School."
Rybak was one of only a handful of women to attend Harvard Medical School in the early 1970s. Yet she pioneered the way for a new generation of women in medicine and empowered them as a professor in the field.
Rybak's efforts will endure, even in her passing.
An estate gift from Rybak's husband now makes scholarships available to young women who study pre-medicine at Canisius.
"Mary Ellen would be pleased to be able to advance the cause of young women in medicine, in particular at her alma mater," says Griffin. "She made great strides in the field during her career. Because of her generosity, the next generation can take it one step further."
Create your legacy at Canisius. Join the Rev. James M. Demske, S.J., Society.

Linz acknowledges that some studies have drawn correlations between adult businesses and effects on neighborhood property values and crime rates. "There is a standard set of studies that can be downloaded from conservative Christian web pages, which are often used as justification for ordinances and which are circulated from state to state," Linz says. "We have reviewed each of these studies and found them to be so flawed in scientific methodology as to be virtually useless."

Château Magnol is known worldwide as the heart of Barton & Guestier: hosting the company's headquarters, a famous guesthouse and a true wineschool. Above all, Château Magnol is a vineyard which wine is served in the finest restaurants all over the world. Château Magnol's winegrowing history goes back to 1842 when Monsieur Delisse, an experienced agronomist, consolidated the vineyards surrounding the former Château du Dehez. The estate was purchased under the name "Château Magnol" in 1978 by Barton & Guestier, who undertook major investments in the vineyards and cellars. The efforts were crowned with successs when Château Magnol was classified Cru Bourgeois in 1987.
Located west of the city of Bordeaux, Château Magnol covers 30 hectares of vines in the Haut-Médoc Appellation, in the southern part of the Médoc on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. It has an ideal micro-climate thanks to its proximity to the ocean and the estuary.
Château Magnol's soil is consisting essentially of gravel and some sand.
This makes it perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, a grape variety that contributes blackcurrant and spicy aromas, colour, robustness and good ageing potential.
The soil is also very well adapted for Merlot, adding roundness and fruitiness (redcurrant).
The Cabernet Franc, lighter in colour and tannins than the Cabernet Sauvignon, brings fresh fruit notes and a good balance. At
Château Magnol, the proportions now stand at 48% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is 22 years.

For those who just found out that you are pregnant... were you cramping as if you were expecting a period for couple days PRIOR to your missed period? I was cramping from Wednesday and my period is expected to come on Monday. Normally I wouldnt cramp until the second day of my period.Also, I've been peeing like crazy and always tired. I dont have the sore boobs like what eveyone else is saying and I dont feel any other symptoms except last night a bit nauseous and I figured it was because I had a salad and lied down right after so it might have been a digestion issue (at least thats what i made myself believe so that I wouldnt get too anxious!!!). My hubby and I did the deed 2 days up to the day I ovulated and the day after, so if we conceived...according to the pregnancy due date calculator I will be due May 2nd 2011. Dont want to get my hopes up cuz Ive been trying since my miscarrage in October 2009.I conceived in August 2009 last year so Im hoping that we conceived again this year!
Now that I have you, I dont want to let you go!!!
With this and my last pregnancy, I had cramping starting around 7DPO. The cramping was what made me sure I was pregnant again this time. Finally today, at 10DPO, I got a faint BFP. Good luck to you!
Me (30) DH (33) Married 6 years
DD age 3
Yep, I had cramping around 7 and 8 dpo, which totally fooled me into thinking AF was coming - because I do get early cramping as a part of PMS and I have a 10 day LP.
My sore boobs were not like PMS sore boobs. They hurt at on my chest, if that makes any sense. It felt like someone was sitting on my chest all the time, right under where the bulk of the boob is. It almost felt hard to breath at times, and I was going nuts trying to figure out why I would have bronchitis (which also frequently feels kind of like that) and not be coughing.
Turns out I was pregnant :)
How many DPO are you? Are you going to wait to test until Monday? Good luck!!!
CorinneTags + DanTags = AlexTags (4-30-11)
My cramping started at 8 dpo, but it wasn't nearly as bad as AF cramping. I got my bfp at 11 dpo, and my boobs were a little sore that day. They're sore again today (12dpo).
married summer of '07
baby bird's due to arrive on may day!
**Corinnatags** I'm 10 dpo. I Ov on August 10th. and YES I am going to wait until Monday to test just to be sure although I have a First Response preg test that tests 6 days BEFORE your missed period!! LOL... I think I'd rather wait.
Now that I have you, I dont want to let you go!!!
Mu HEDD is the same day as yours. Looks like we will both be testing Monday,
I havent had any symptoms this month other than cramps on 7 dpo and those dang pin prick type cramps later that night. Other than that nothing here.
Good luck to you!!!!
Thanks! At this moment Im feeling a little nauseous. I have on some victoria secret lotion and im not digging the scent! I also have a mild headache. The wait to test is driving me crazy!!! ( SIGHS) I need to CALM DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Now that I have you, I dont want to let you go!!!
I've had a headache every day since about 7 dpo. ::crossing fingers for you::
married summer of '07
baby bird's due to arrive on may day!
Thanks Twobird and doing the same for you and for everyone on here.
Now that I have you, I dont want to let you go!!!
i have heard that if you have syptoms already then your levels are high enough to get a postive from a HPT.
I am with you trish- I have had a dull headache since Tuesday. Sore boobs and periodic nausea. Not sure when I o'd, but I have been cramping the last two days. I hope you get your BFP. I had a m/c in April, so this is my first month TTC since then. The wait is killing me too! I want to test sooooooooooo bad!!

Our Wisconsin Craft Beers
…have a long and storied history. Ahnapee Brewing first opened its doors in 1868 in the city of Ahnapee, now named Algoma, as a premier producer of Wisconsin craft beers. Bohemian immigrants brought skilled craftsmen to erect Kewaunee County's first sizable building.
Beers were produced under the supervision of the head brewmaster, Henry Schmiling, the great- great-great-great uncle of the current owners. The Civil War veteran sold barrels of Wisconsin craft beers by horse and sleigh, rail, and the schooner, "Whisky Pete." Schmiling's Ahnapee Lager was known far and wide for its Wisconsin-made quality. Hops blight put the original brewery out of business in 1886.
A new chapter in the brewery's history began in the summer of 2013. Fueled by the dreams of our General Manager and Head Brewer, Nick Calaway, we picked up where Henry left off. This time Wisconsin craft beers are produced in small batches and feature full-flavored beer, some with aging potential, served in the Tap Room two doors down from von Stiehl winery at 105 Navarino Street.
If you are interested in drinking some tasty brews, we are open Wednesdays from 4pm to 9pm, Thursdays from noon to 9pm, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 10pm and Sundays from noon-5pm!
Visit the Ahnapee Brewery Facebook page for current news and updates on our Wisconsin craft beers.

Enchanting chanterelles
PCC Taste | November 2011
Plucked from the forest floor, chanterelle mushrooms provide a true taste of the local landscape — the conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Their apricot-like aroma is augmented by a subtle, peppery flavor that offers a richness prized by chefs everywhere. Meaty and chewy, chanterelles must be cooked for their full flavor to truly shine. These golden beauties work well in butter, oil and cream, and they also hold up in recipes using wine or other cooking alcohols. Try this recipe for Sherried Leek and Wild Chanterelle Gravy.
When selecting chanterelles, choose mushrooms that are fairly dry to the touch. Remove any dirt or bits of the woods before using; it's best not to wash them. Learn more about mushrooms »

Ever the modern girl, actress and hottie Cameron Diaz was spotted lounging in Hawaii on Sunday, reading from an Amazon Kindle.
While the E-Book device may be the hottest new tech toy on the market, it pales in comparison to Diaz's electric yellow bikini.
Her Memorial Day rest will be followed with promotion of her next flick, Nick Cassavetes' My Sister's Keeper, then alongside James Marsden in the sci-fi thriller The Box.

Nassau International Airport Ranking
Rating : 1/10
Arriving: Lines for immigration lasted 45 minutes; US$18 charge for 4 minute (no exaggeration) cab ride that the hotel
had said would cost no more than $10. Departing: airport merchants ready, willing, and able to rip you off if your
guard is down for a minute.
Rating : 8/10
This review is for International arrivals and US Departures. I've used this airport in December 2009 and then
again in March 2013. In general, a much better experience this time around. On arrival, sufficient
immigration desks were staffed, and customs was quick enough, so that I was in my hotel within 25 minutes
of touching down. On departure, the new US Departures terminal is much improved from the older version.
Check in and security is quick and efficient. The only place where there are lines is the US immigration pre-
clearance. Airside, the terminal is quite pleasant with lots of shops, restaurants, etc. While the main
restaurant (Kafe Kalik I think is pleasant with outdoor seating, I would not recommend ordering food there
unless you want to risk missing your flight - they took 45 minutes to bring our food.

My children ages 16 and 11 and I went to the Bahamas in June 2010. The airport was not bad at
all. Yes the airport is smaller but it got me to where I was going! I did not run into one
rude airport employee. Some were quite nice actually. 3 hours doesn't seem to be necessary but
why chance it? There are a few places where you can get something to eat. One small
restaurant, dunkin doughnuts and subway. Also there are some local wares you can purchase and
a convenience store. The bathroom is large enough and clean.The screening process went easily
and quickly. Just be prepared. You know they want all of your documents out and ready so, do
just that. You know that you have to put everything through the xray machine so make it
simple. Wear flip flops and keep your bags to a minimum. We didn't even check in any bags and
had no problems. No different then any other airport.
Customer Rating : 5/5
We arrived at the airport on June 5 at 11:30 am. There was no line for Delta so we checked in
with the agent in less than 5 minutes. The next stop was security a security agent checking
IDs. There was no line and we were through in another 5 minutes. You drop your checked luggage
off on a conveyer belt and go through screening. They emptied our carry on as we had our scuba
regulators in the bag but we were still through in 10 minutes. The last stop was US customs
which was another 5 minutes. Bottom line was we went from the cab to the gate in 25 minutes on
a Saturday at noon. The airport is suggesting a 3 hour check in and the motel suggested
2.5hrs. Not sure why.
NASSAU AIRPORT review : 1 March 2010 by Susan Knapp
Things have changed. Due to a storm, my Sky Bahamas flight was delayed getting me to Nassau
and that gave me only an hour and a half before my flight to the states. I did my best to
cultivate a Zen-like acceptance to prepare for a bad travel day - but I didn't need it. I
picked up my checked Sky Bahamas bag in 5 minutes, found the international departure terminal
in 8 minutes, got myself checked in at American Airlines in 5 minutes and about 20 minutes
later was standing in line at Dunkin Dounts in the departure lounge. There was a lot of
security it's true, but it went quickly (even when the bag searcher opened my cribbage board
and spilled out the pegs). Note this was on a Thursday, and that might have helped, but it
wasn't the horror I'd been led to believe by some of the older posts.
NASSAU AIRPORT review : 27 June 2009 by R Phillips
Customer Rating : 2/5
First off, Nassau Airport is not on the same level as airports in the US or Europe. That
should be news enough for people expecting a 5-Star Airport. The recent growth on New
Providence and at Paradise Island (i.e., Atlantis, Cable Beach, etc.) is almost a world away
from Lynden Pindling International Airport. My experience last week seems to be better than
some of the good folks who have come before me, but by no means is NAS a 5-Star Airport and
the unexpected should be expected Inbound pax deplane and enter the Bahamian Customs facility.
I arrived at about 2:30, and most of the lanes were open. Next comes the bag claim. Word of
caution- try not to check any luggage. This will only slow you down, and bag handling at NAS
is disastrous. A Customs officer will ask you about the contents of your bags, and most of the
time will let you through without any checks. Taxis and Car Hire is outside of the bag area.
Departures: I flew out on USAirways at around noon. If you are flying to the USA from NAS,
arrive at least 3 hrs early. Flights within the Bahamas, Caribbean, and to Canada & the UK
leave from another terminal, and usually need 2-3 hours lead time. USAirways opened their
check-in desks at 9, so my group was checked in first. 3 hours may seem excessive for a
Caribbean airport, but it really helps here. After check-in, you walk around and behind the
check-in desks to the first security checkpoint. This has a metal detector and the whole
works, so be prepared to do everything you would at TSA/CATSA. Next comes US Customs & Border
Protection Preclearance, where a US (not Bahamian) officer checks your documents. Make sure to
fill out the proper forms before you arrive at the airport. Not filling out the forms until
the last second will only delay you further. After CBP you proceed up an escalator to a SECOND
security facility. This also has a metal detector and more stringent security checks. My
laptop was checked for explosives and had to be taken out of its TSA-approved case (not
recognized in the Bahamas). The reasoning behind 2 checkpoints is hard to fathom, but is
probably to create a few more jobs for Bahamians. After all 3 of these checks you finally
enter the departure lounge. Thanks to new ownership by Vancouver Airport Group (who is
responsible for YVR, Gatwick, and the new Montego Bay Airport terminal), there are new shops,
such as Dunkin' Donuts, Hard Rock Cafe (Souvenirs Only, no food!) and Harley-Davidson. Prices
are extremely high ($2.50 for a candy bar), so buy only if you need to. Also, sit near your
airline's boarding door. The jetways are still several hundred feet away, but each airline has
one set of double-doors where they conduct boarding. The PA is impossible to hear thanks to
the massive echo in the building, but you should be fine if you pay attention and sit near
your gate. Finally, at the jetway security personnel conduct random hand checks of luggage.
They seem to pick the first person who walks towards the door, so mix yourself in the pack to
lessen the chance of being stopped. All in all, NAS is changing. Vancouver Airport Group will
steer the airport in the right direction down the road, but it can't be fixed overnight. Just
remember: get the earliest flight possible to your destination to avoid the 11am-2pm security
rush for 1pm-4pm departures, and get there 3 hours early (or more, if desired). It takes 30-45
minutes to reach the airport from Atlantis/Downtown Nassau, so plan for that, too. This should
help to make your departure from Nassau a bit less stressful. As many others have said, NAS is
below expectations for the capital and toruism hub of the Bahamas. A week spent in the luxury
of the Atlantis seems lightyears away from the old, hot Nassau Airport.

I have just returned from a trip the to Bahamas flying back from Nassau International Airport
to Detroit. We arrived to the airport 2 hours 45 minutes before our flight, and would have
missed our flight if our flight had not been delayed. None of the workers knew what was
going on and we were continually told to be in one line and then got yelled at once we got to
the front that we were in the wrong line. We were standing in a line after we received our
tickets and had to take our luggage to another line for it to be loaded. We were standing in
this line (where we were told to go) for 15 minutes, a worker then came over and said this
was not a line and that we needed to go to the end of the line outside. We told her that we
were told to stand here and her response was "and now Im telling you that you are not
supposed to be here and to go outside". I have never been treated so rudely. We then
proceeded to a line outside of the airport that took us 45 minutes to get through, merely to
place our luggage on a conveyer belt. We then continued through line after line and two
different security stops, one of which seemed pointless considering they did not make you
remove your phones, computers, jackets or shoes. We still do not understand the point of us
standing their and being searched if it was not a true security point. Before we went to our
gate, we went through customs in the Bahamas. The workers here were beyond rude. A foreign
family was told by another worker to go to the front of the line because their earlier flight
was late so they were running close in getting their connecting flight. One of the workers
at the front of the line legitimately yelled at the family and everyone else in the line said
it was ok for them to go in front of us but he made them go to the back of the line. We all
felt horrible, it was not their fault that their connecting flight arrived late! If I ever
travel to Nassau again I will fly to another airport in the Bahamas and take a boat to
Nassau. There is no reason for workers to act this rudely to customers.
Nassau Airport review by J Hagen
10 March 2008 Customer Rating :
The vast majority of problems with this airport pertain to the delays of having to travel back to
the US. If you are travelling to any other country (international), security is a breeze. For
example, travelling to Toronto, Montreal, or London: simply check-in with the agent, walk down 40
feet to the right to the security area and walk through the detector. After this quick security
screening, you have reached the "international lounge area," where you just sit and wait to board.
It takes about 20 minutes in total if there isn't a big line up at check in. Just be there an hour
early to make sure your bags get on the plane, but they should since NAS is a small airport. The BIG
problem is travel to the US. If this is your case, you should be at the airport at least 2.5 hours
in advance due to all the TSA regulations. The Bahamians are just following protocol, but they
sometimes exagerrate when they confiscate possessions (eg golfballs were taken from me), and they
are rude and brush you off when you ask why. Expect at least 3 security checkpoints, a carry-on
search (1 on 2 chance of having that done), and for the unlucky, a random spot check (1 on 6 chance
of having that done). These are all measures the TSA has enforced in the Bahamas, and have to be
followed by Bahamian security personnel. The US Customs line can be really long and slow, especially
during lunch hour, when the bulk of the flights are leaving. You would think they could have more
agents out at that hour, and save the lunch for 2 PM when things calm down. During Christmas break
and spring break, the Bahamian Customs area for arriving passengers can be packed and lines can take
over an hour, if 4-5 flights arrive at once. Otherwise, it is extremely smooth. The biggest problem
with the airport is the fact that it is just SO old and in dire need of renovation. The restaurant
in the US departures lounge is way overpriced and the food is horrible. Ultimately, the image the
airport conveys is that of a tiny island airport you'd see at a Bahamian island like Long Island--
this is not an airport suited for the capital, Nassau. Also, the baggage area has no security, and
lost bags are thrown everywhere. It is a mess to see for tourists. But, the baggage people who can
be paid to place your bags on a chariot and wheeled out are helpful and informative. They are worth
the $5 tip, since they'll also get you a taxi/limo. Overall, this airport is a 5/10, but people
should not base coming to the Bahamas because of the airport. It is a great country with much to
offer, simply a little slow as the expressions go.

We have traveled to Nassau/Paradise Island from Wash, DC for 25 years so have seen many changes in
the airport - mostly for the good. Since 9-11 security has been stronger in Nassau than anywhere we
have been in the USA. Many metal detectors and pat downs and it takes a very long time to snake
through the airport but I understand and am always up on the lastest TSA rules and prepared
according to the rules. In Nov 2007 the last security check point in Nassau did me in. They took my
carryon to search it and that was fine with me. They pulled out a bag of batteries and told me I had
to check the bag or throw away the batteries. I was appalled because I did what TSA says to do and
the batteries were worth over $60. I had meds in my carryon so told them to toss the batteries but
I am still upset over this. Other batteries were okay to carry in camera, cell phone, etc but not
alkaline even when in accordance with TSA rules? They had no right to do that and were rude about

Beware of the laxity surrounding the baggage claim area in the event
your luggage doesn't arrive on your flight. We traveled to Nassau from
Ft Lauderdale on 6/23/07 and had three of five checked bags that didn't
accompany us. Bags are left on carousels or dumped haphazardly on the
floor. The Baggage agent did a good job of recording bag identity info
and initiating a search. But that's the extent of it. Upon returning
to the airport four hours later, I located the missing bags lying among
approximately 200 other unclaimed bags. The agent was unaware the bags
had arrived on a subsequent flight. Security is lax and no effort is
evident of any airlines collecting and securing unclaimed luggage.

Food, I go out to the parking lot and there's a truck out there selling
hot food that's pretty good. Cheap too. The bar I wouldn't use, and
there is a snack bar at the far end of the terminal that's not bad
either. The liquor in the store in the terminal has some really good
prices on some brands. Rum etc. You need to know what the prices are in
the states, as some types of liquor are amazingly cheap, then others
aren't so. The departure tax always left a bad taste in my mouth, and is
probably the most irritating thing I've encountered there.

I travel to NAS at least once a year, and like any thing it is time for some upgrades. There are
days when things go right and there are days when fate kick in and things just
don't turn-out like
you want. This little island in paradise has an airport that was built along time ago. The
is now realizing that they need attend to this venue now. A five star airport it may not be if
judging it with the likes of Dulles IAD or Ronald Regan DCA where I'm from. But a three star for
Island is fair to say.

We found a nice airport that was air conditioned, clean, and with very
pleasant and helpful Bahamians doing there best to be accommodating.
It took a little while to get through security, but the line kept
moving. I was pleased they were making security a high priority. As
others have said - part of the delay is because you go through US
Customs here - not at your US destination. I thought it went well.
Thanks to the wonderful Bahamian people!
Nassau Airport review by John Frewen-Lord
14 February 2006
Arrival in NAS off a BA 767. Only about 50 PAX got off (the rest of a
half full 767 were going on to Turks and Caicos). Customs and
immigration very pleasant and quite fast - but then we were the only
flight arriving at this time (4 pm on a Sunday). In spite of so few
incoming passengers, it took nearly 45 minutes for our luggage to
arrive. Hate to think what it would be like if things were really busy.
Walk from the airbridge was through a new part of the terminal - which
then ended as an open walled tent. Fine when the weather is nice, but
on this day was bucketing it down with high winds and 13 C temperatures.
Nassau Airport review by Caryl Kells
12 January 2006
We arrived at Nassau International Airport 2.5 hours prior to our
departure time. With the chaotic check in system this airport has, we
were very lucky to make our scheduled flight. We checked in and then had
to stand in a line for security which snaked around the inside, and in
fact started outside the airport - with no visible personnel, or signs,
to direct people on where to go. Other passengers, who felt they were
too "important" to go through this procedure, were cutting into these
lines that we stood in for close to two hours and there seemed to be no
airport staff that cared. And in fact, those few we did encounter, were
very rude. I do realize that this is a very small airport, but they need
to improve this situation drastically before I will return.
Nassau Airport review by Jamal Wells
5 December 2005
Nassau airport is fully air conditioned and endures long lines because
of The US pre-clearance facilities. Peak hours 11am - 2pm. Security will
be stricter than most other airports in the world because your getting
pre-cleared there. Many people don't fully understand that. There are
multiple bathrooms and little snack shops downstairs at check-in.
However only 1 restaurant, 1 bar, 1 gift shop and bathrooms upstairs.
The air condition was i believed damaged during the passing of a
hurricane and subsequently it malfunctioned 1 day. A new one has long
since installed. The airport is airconditioned throughout every terminal
and section. Departures - There are no Bahamian Customs or Immigration
for departure. Any checks you stop to strictly involves the US Customs
and Immigration. So complaining about long lines have nothing at all to
do with the Country. If the agents feel it necessary, they will stop and
further question you. Arrivals - Immigration is smooth with up to 10
stations opened. The problem - many people incorrectly or don't fill out
the Immigration card causing hold ups on the lines. Customs is a breeze
for any tourist. Once you have not brought any plant, animal etc into
the country. They wave you right through.
Nassau Airport review by Robert Andrews
12 October 2005
After reading the reviews about Nassau Airport I was beginning to wonder
what we had gotten ourselves into with a trip to Paradise Island in mid
September of 2005. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Nassau
Airport was air conditioned and very clean. The walk to immigration and
then on to baggage claim was well marked and not unreasonable. The walk
gave us the chance to get the "kinks" out from sitting on the plane.
Once at baggage claim we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our
luggage to arrive. Customs went smoothly with at least 5 stations open,
processing passengers very quickly. The staff were very polite and
helpful. Yes there is only one restaurant and one M and F restroom and
one sundries/gift shop and one bar but this is a small airport. I
can't comment on the quality of the food or restrooms since we didn't
use either. The return trip went equally smooth. We did have to go
through 3 security checks and I was selected for a random
pat down. The security officer was very professional with her
direction. It was almost comical since I had already put all my metal
objects into the security basket and as I was searched she
questioned what's this?, what's that? as I pulled out lifesavers,
earplugs, comb and a fig Newton bar from my pockets. Admittedly, we
went during the off season so I can't comment on how it would
have been packed with people during the prime season.

We recently went to Nassau for the Labor Day weekend. While the island
of New Providence is generally in good shape - the airport is a mess.
We got to the terminal two hours before departure and needed all but 20
minutes of it to snake through the terminal. We were searched 3 times,
going through two sets of metal detectors. The lines are seemingly
endless and snake up stairs and around corners. It's hot and
unpleasant. My wife and I have plenty of choices for vacations, and

Recently flew into Nassau, and not as bad as I had expected. A fair warning there is
no ac in the airport and the Bahamas can get very hot especially during the summer.
Yes, there is only one shop, and one restaurant. But I would like to applaud the
security, there was more security than some major airports in the US. We had to go
through security 3 times, one before customs (yes flights to U.S go through customs
before boarding the flight), then my luggage was searched by hand by a very
polite individual who apologized for the inconvience and asked me about my trip. Then
before going to the terminal more security and before boarding the plane, people are
randomly selected for further security screening.

Avoid Nassau at all costs. I have started to fly into Paradise Island and avoid the rude staff,
ancient surroundings and long expensive cab rides. Paradise Island Airport is across the bridge
from downtown Nassau ($6 cab ride instead of $50) and the airport and staff are pleasant.
Even customs and immigrations is a dream 5 mins. from plane to the street and a short walk instead
of 90 mins of hell and a hike.
I recommend bypassing NAS for PID if at all an option.

The staff at Nassau Airport are the rudest people I have come across anywhere in the world! My
boyfriend and I flew from Nassau to Charlotte on 27th September. When I was going through the
security point, the alarm beeped and a very large and very rude Bahamian woman demanded that I "get
back" (without a please or thank you). She made me stand there for several minutes, while she let
other passengers through and totally ignored me! During this time I tried to speak to her and ask
her why I was standing there - but the only response I got was "get back"! Finally one of her
colleagues asked me why I was standing there, so i told he that I didn't know - pointed to the woman
and explained what had happened - her colleague then allowed me to go through. There are very few
signs at this airport, so passengers are wandering around unsure of where to go and the staff are
quite happy to sit and watch! I think that the money they make in tax should be used to send the
whole airport staff on a customer training course!
Nassau Airport review by John Nolley
24 September 2004
You arrive at one end of the airport and have no signs directing you to baggage claim. Finally when
you do locate your bags, you have to walk a half a mile or so with your bags to the international
departures area--which lies in the opposite direction of where the large signs point. You have to go
through security 3 times to board your flight (at the counter, at customs, and before heading to
the gates). The international gates include ONE bathroom and ONE restaurant that serves overpriced,
crappy food (much more so than the average airport) ... and every flight is inexplicably delayed for
hours, with some boarding or being delayed with no notice other than on a small LED board.
Batelco's wireless networking rarely works. If you're stuck flying Bahamasair, welcome to
frustration central, as their whole staff seems clueless. Loads of fun, I tell you, loads of it.

lacks practically every facility possible and is a nasty miserable place. There are not enough
seats, filthy, old washrooms, no restaurant, no nothing ! The snack bar is disgusting, the building
just needs to be demolished ! I can't fathom why a country that thrives on tourism has such a dump
of a place to welcome visitors to the islands.

Nassau International (NAS) the airport that put the NAS in NASTY. Flight arrivals-departure screens
in International Arrivals that haven't worked in years leaving people waiting for passengers to ask
complete strangers upon arrival what flight they came in on to keep track of arrivals. Washrooms
that have that overpowering odor of not being cleaned, ever. Airport Bar upstairs in US departures
have to be the biggest rip off on the island going, and that is saying a lot from being in the
Bahamas. Baggage collection is non-sensical, only to be matched by Customs and Immigration officials
that bring new definition to "Service with a Snarl." Parking is terrible and parking out in more
remote spots is something to be avoided if at all possible. If your plans include travelling to the
Bahamas by air, you may want to reconsider saving your money and try elsewhere far more appeasing,
Port a Prince, Haiti comes to mind,.
Nassau Airport review by Wiliam Read
30 March 2004
This is an airport to avoid if at all possible. Why? It lacks the facilities all international
airports require in 2004, especially those that serve a capital city of a wealthy and advanced
country. There is no left luggage facility. There is no restaurant. There is no lounge. Security
arrangements are somewhat basic. The few shops that there are close down at 1630hrs on a
weekday - although the airport remains open until the late evening. Some machines accept only US$, and reject
the Bahamian $ even through it is the same value and banknote size.
Having said all this, the staff I encountered were invariably helpful and
friendly - the airport,
built in 1956, just needs bringing up-to-date!

Net cash inflows of $.7 billion into the bond funds and $.3 billion into the money market funds were more than offset by $1.4 billion in net cash outflows from the stock and blended asset funds. Investment advisory revenues earned in the fourth quarter of 2012 on the other investment portfolios increased $26.3 million compared to the 2011 quarter to $205.6 million, as average assets under management increased $28.7 billion, or 14%, to $228.0 billion. Ending assets in these portfolios at December31, 2012 were $229.9 billion, a decrease of $1.6 billion from the end of September 2012. Market appreciation and income of $2.2 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012 was more than offset by net cash outflows of $3.8 billion. These net outflows were primarily from certain institutional separate account portfolios outside the United States that have experienced investment performance challenges, or changes in clients' investment objectives. Operating expenses were $426.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, up $48.1 million from the 2011 quarter due primarily to increases in compensation and related costs, distribution and servicing costs, occupancy and facility costs and depreciation. The increase in compensation and related costs of $35.1 million is primarily attributable to higher bonus compensation, salaries, and the cost of employee benefits. The firm has increased its average staff size by 1.9% from the fourth quarter of 2011, and employed 5,372 associates at December31, 2012. Advertising and promotion expenditures were $26.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $25.8 million in the comparable 2011 period. The firm currently expects that its advertising and promotion expenditures for the full year 2013 will be similar to 2012 levels. The firm varies its level of spending based on market conditions and investor demand as well as its efforts to expand its investor base in the United States and abroad. Distribution and servicing costs paid to third-party intermediaries that source assets into the Advisory, R, and variable annuity classes of the firm's sponsored portfolios in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $5.6 million over the comparable 2011 quarter, as higher distribution expenses were recognized on greater fund assets under management. These costs offset the same increase in distribution and servicing fees earned from 12b-1 plans of the same share classes noted above. Occupancy and facility costs together with depreciation and amortization expense were $53.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, up $5.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The change includes the added costs incurred to expand our facilities around the world as well as update our technology capabilities to meet increasing business demands. Net non-operating investment income in the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $4.0 million from the 2011 quarter due primarily to higher gains recognized on our other investment portfolio. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income for the fourth quarter of 2012 is 38.6%, slightly higher than the 38.4% effective tax rate for the full year 2012. The firm's effective rate for 2013 is expected to be 38.5%. T. Rowe Price remains debt-free with ample liquidity, including cash and sponsored portfolio investment holdings of $2.0 billion. During 2012, the firm paid a regular annual dividend of $1.36 per share to our stockholders, expended $135.2 million to repurchase 2.3 million shares of its common stock and invested $76.9 million in capitalized technology and facilities. In addition, the firm paid a $1.00 per share special dividend on December 28, 2012. The firm currently expects total capital expenditures for property and equipment for 2013 to be approximately $125 million, which will be funded from operating resources. Management Commentary James A.C. Kennedy, the company's chief executive officer and president, commented: "Most equity and fixed income markets performed well in 2012, especially in the emerging markets.This was despite another year of relatively subdued global economic growth and persistently high unemployment in many developed economies.Consumer and corporate confidence ebbed and flowed through the year, mostly in response to varying hopes that political leadership might move from dysfunction to logical decision making.The fourth quarter was no exception to the volatility of expectations.Most world markets produced negative returns in the quarter – at least until the last week of the year, when negotiations in Washington gained momentum and the U.S. 'fiscal cliff' was temporarily sidestepped. "Meanwhile, we remain cautiously optimistic on the fundamentals of many corporations around the globe.Company balance sheets are generally in good shape, and many corporations are generating strong cash flow.Political, economic and growth uncertainties remain, so volatility should be expected.However, expectations and valuations in the equity markets remain reasonable. The fixed income markets are less appealing, with yields driven to near record lows by a series of governmental stimulus programs.Savers have been hurt by these low rates, and risk-takers rewarded.Opportunities still exist in the fixed income markets, but risks are now rising; consequently, credit research and selectivity will be more and more important. "In closing, we remain proud of our firm's continued strong investment and client service performance.As we reflect back on 2012, our 75^th year, we believe our guiding principle of always doing what is right for our clients will continue to benefit our clients, associates, and stockholders alike."

low enriched uranium (LEU)

|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is used to create Tc-99m, a widely used nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging radioisotope. In an attempt to decrease the need for imported Mo-99, development of mechanical systems to efficiently prepare low enriched uranium (LEU) sheets for radiation is needed. Once prepared, the LEU is radiated to create the Mo-99. This process involves layering the LEU foil between two aluminum tubes, swaging the tubes together, and then sealing the ends. The current design, a die and nut/bolt drawn punch swaging system, and using Tig welding to seal the ends is inefficient and inconsistent. The new mechanical system for the swaging process is designed to be efficient and eliminate any inconsistency. Detailed design of the proposed hydraulic concept was established using 3-D solid modeling software (Pro-Engineer) with 2-D views of non standard parts for future construction. The designed assembly was analyzed for accuracy and proper fits and the entire systems swaging operation was virtually simulated to check for potential errors. The required swaging force was determined through analytical analysis process and initial test measurements. Adequate cylinder, pump, and pressure gauge sizes were determined to exceed the minimum required swaging force. By using a horizontally mounted hydraulic jack to swage the tubes, the applied pressure will be monitored using a pressure gauge to insure a steady swaging force. This design utilizes a sliding die with removable end cap to ease the removal of the swaged tubes. This feature also assists in maintenance and the removal of jammed parts. Using an electron microscope, a gap between the swaged tubes was found using the current punch design. After extensive calculations, a new punch was designed to prevent any unwanted spring back induced gap in the aluminum. To reduce the inconsistency in the tube sealing process, concepts in cold rolling are being further studied.

The latest cut from Demrick, formerly known around The DJBooth as Young De, might be a smoking song, but it certainly isn't your typical kush anthem. Whereas most chiefing cuts are laid-back, SMOKE bucks the trend, emitting a much more edgy, intense vibe, in part because of producer Jim Jonsin's coarse, siren-infused boardwork. Instead of worrying about which brand of chips will appease his munchies, Demrick uses a gritty, intense flow to focus on both his struggle to survive and make ends meat. As the emcee will tell you, smoking isn't a way for him to have a good time, it's a source of release from the daily stresses he encounters. SMOKE is a single off of the smoldering emcee's forthcoming mixtape, All The Wrong Things 2, set to drop February 11.

With apologies to James Taylor, I was recently introduced to a UNC-Chapel Hill professor of psychology, Dr. Edwin Fisher, from my alma mater and the university where the famous singer/ songwriter's father was dean of the School of Medicine. The work that Dr. Fisher is doing under the aegis of the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation is on target for the Triple Aim.
Peers for Progress, designs, implements, and evaluates peer coach or peer educator programs worldwide. There are ample examples of successful and established programs led or facilitated by peer coaches, motivators, educators, or others, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Mended Hearts, and Weight Watchers. Peers for Progress is building a global network of peer-support organizations that are making a difference in the health of and lives of people affected by a range of health problems and their associated impact on the individual and on communities.
It's hard to open any health-related publication these days and not find stories about accountable care organizations (ACOs). Commentary ranges from extolling ACOs as our last, best hope for achieving high-value care in the U.S., to others criticizing ACOs as a thinly disguised return to the 1990s model of managed care and HMOs.
While it's too early to judge how effectively these provider-based organizations that assume greater financial risk for health care outcomes will ultimately perform, many are hopeful that ACOs offer a promising vehicle for achieving the elusive Triple Aim goal of health reform — achieving higher clinical quality and better experience of care with lower cost trends.
Though the title might apply to many aspects of our daily lives and the world as a whole, in this instance I am referring to how Medicare and other insurers interpret the word reasonable to make coverage and payment decisions. A recent editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighted this enduring challenge for Medicare.
The authors begin with language from the Social Security Act:
John Muir, the famous naturalist, wrote: "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." It's a concept that's long overdue but now fully ensconced in the field of population health management. Employee health management (EHM) practitioners, in particular, are coming to understand that the environments in which health promotion interventions occur are a primary determinant of the effectiveness of the interventions. What's more, many now fully acknowledge that the sustainability of healthy lifestyle improvements in diet, exercise, or tobacco use is fundamentally linked to our surroundings. Indeed, in last week's "HEROForum12", a conference featuring EHM solutions, a third of the session titles included references to culture. Moreover, no matter what the topic, the phrase "building a culture of health" was stated at nearly every session.
As a baby boomer moving through middle age into the unspeakable age that follows "middle," I was encouraged to read an article in the British Medical Journal that states that for seniors and super seniors, healthy behaviors that include regular exercise, not smoking, maintaining a normal Body Mass Index, and having a rich or moderate social network led to significant increases in longevity. From the study:
I have long held that leaders can't fake authenticity. When you're passionate about your vision, it is felt by others whether they support you or not. It's a realization that has been easy to come by because I've had so many great mentors.
In May 1999, Abigail Sulerzyski was born deaf and blind with cerebral palsy and multiple other medical complications. While Victoria, her mother, was learning how to cope with the needs of a severely disabled child, she was also learning how to fight with UnitedHealthcare.
A close friend of ours went with my wife to see a highly regarded physician for a persistent problem. This master clinician started with a warm greeting and a brief conversation about family, and then went through a detailed history of the problem that our friend had experienced for several months. He gave her an explanation of what he believed to be the underlying cause of her symptoms, gave a prescription for lab tests, and prescribed two medications. He also suggested that she see an ENT and recommended someone.
One of the key downsides of market-based health care — that if your costs regularly exceed your income you go out of business — is not typically associated with the National Health Service in the U.K. That is about to change. It has just been announced that the three hospitals that constitute the South London Healthcare Trust in London, England are to be effectively declared bankrupt, the board suspended, and the organization put under a special administrator. He or she will have just 45 days to provide the Secretary of State with recommendations on what to do with an organization that provides emergency an elective services to about 750,000 Londoners but has racked up nearly $100 million of debt in 2011–12 alone.
Why is this of interest to U.S. readers, aside from adding to the long-running debate on the pros and cons of operating a market in health care? It is because one option is to privatize one or more of the hospitals. By privatize, I mean a whole range of options from franchising out the management to a private company to taking over the assets lock, stock, and barrel and then providing services back to the NHS.
As is always the case when I return from working abroad, it takes me longer, metaphorically speaking, to unpack my bags. I was ostensibly in Brazil to teach and consult about innovations in our population health management movement in America. But, as I expected, I was surely the greater beneficiary of teachings from leaders of the wellness movement in Sao Paulo, the business nexus for the world's sixth largest economy.
Leaders of population health programs in Sao Paulo offer a self-assessment of being a decade or more behind the United States in the maturation of employee health benefits such as employee assistance programs (EAP), disease management, pharmacy benefits management (PBM), and wellness. I anticipated we would be discussing the "leapfrog" opportunities that come with later adoption of trends. For example, developing countries garnered advantage by skipping much of the costly infrastructure of cable by embracing wireless communications.
So I came to Brazil thinking about what aspects of American health care innovation I would skip over if I had a chance to learn from the trials and errors of America's health reforms. For example, I found it curious that the Brazilian health care system is likely the closest to America's with respect to the proportion of employer versus government financing, yet the country had yet to mobilize anything resembling a buyers' coalition or a business group focused on health or health policy. When I happened upon Brazil's health commissioner, he told me his main message for employers was to become more proactive with the government in setting health policy. I said "Be careful what you ask for." It was advice borne out of an American sensibility that public/private partnerships are fraught with ideological perturbation.

I'm trying to sort out an old Acer laptop for a family member, Windows Vista basic with a small 70Gb hard drive that is split into two equal partitions with the C part very nearly full, using the Disk Management utility I've been able to shrink the D partition down to 16Gb and now have 16Gb unallocated. How can I allocate the 16Gb to the C drive to make it bigger, the extend volume option is greyed out …alB

Sorry I missed the part of your post where you mentioned " extend volume " is greyed out.Are you Xp or Vista by the way? I have found this, have not used it myself so cannot comment.Extend. Also the unallocated space must be to the right to use Extend Volume

Is the unallocated space to the right or left of the D partition?
If its to the right click on the D drive and drag it to the right the unallocated space should now be between the C and D drive.
You can now select the C drive and expand it to include the unallocated space. Remember to click on apply to complete the process.

gengiscant/BRYNIT, worked a treat, thanks very much for your input, although I don't know how long a 50gb partition will last before that's full too!! I might suggest getting an external drive to use as well. Thanks again chaps, great advice as always ...alB
