Even More on Ryan-Murray Budget Deal
In the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan calls the Ryan-Murray budget deal a "step in the right direction," which echoes a claim by Rep. Paul Ryan. She says the deal "goes in the right general direction, not the wrong one." But how could a deal composed of spending and revenue increases possibly be the right direction when the government is already far too large?
More on the Ryan-Murray Budget Deal
The Ryan-Murray budget deal is remarkably bad when you look at the details. If the Republican Party is supposed to be the fiscally conservative party, there is virtually nothing Republican in the agreement. The Democrats could have written the whole thing themselves. It raises spending and taxes, and reduces the deficit only in a jury-rigged scorekeeping kind of a way that won't actually be realized.
Federal Sugar Program and Chicago Jobs
The Washington Post has great reporters, but there may be room for improvement in sharing research and reviewing past stories by colleagues.An article on Sunday discussed how candy factories "had laid off thousands of workers" in a Chicago neighborhood where a new Wal-Mart has located:
The Budget Deal Is a Huge Republican Cave-In
Republicans in Congress have put in a dismal fiscal performance in 2013. The party could not come together to defund the disastrous Obamacare law. No progress was made tackling entitlements or eliminating programs. Republicans joined with Democrats to move ahead the wasteful farm bill. And the year began with a large income tax increase.
Minimum Wage and Unemployment
I was surprised to read this assertion about the minimum wage by labor analyst Harry Holzer in the Washington Post today:
GOP Poised to Win Charlie Brown Award
Republican negotiators are poised to win the prestigious Charlie Brown Award for Fiscal Policy sponsored by my colleague Dan Mitchell. With their 2011 Budget Control Act bearing fruit and providing some spending control the last two years, Republicans are gearing up to throw it away in return for fee increases and paltry spending trims.
PISA School Test Results
New international student test results called PISA have been released. See here and here. Once again, U.S. high-school kids did poorly. American kids ranked 36th in math, 24th in reading, and 28th in science among 65 countries and jurisdictions. The U.S. scores were below the average of other countries in all three subject areas.
Thanksgiving Travels Don't Have to be a Hassle
To join their families for Thanksgiving this week, millions of Americans will face the drudgery of airline travel. Airports are crowded, flights are often delayed, and many travelers will get stuck in long security lines. It may get worse: a new study by the U.S. Travel Association (USTA) says that American aviation may be flying into a storm of "chronic congestion, delays, and frustration."
Congress Should Abolish the TSA — It's Time to Privative Airport Screening
A government study that finds a program doesn't work and proposes to cut it is almost as rare as pigs that fly. But a new Government Accountability Office study on aviation does just that: it proposes chopping the Transportation Security Administration's SPOT security program because it finds no evidence that it could stop airline terrorists.
TSA, Terrorism, and Civil Liberties
My new study on the Transportation Security Administration mainly focuses on the agency's poor management and performance. The TSA has a near monopoly on security screening at U.S. airports, and monopoly organizations usually end up being bloated, inefficient, and providing low-quality services.
The study proposes contracting out or "privatizing" airport screening, which is the structure of aviation security used successfully in Canada and many European countries.

Cape Town launch of the Affordable Land & Housing Data Centre
The Affordable Land and Housing Data Centre (al+hdc) had its Cape Town launch on the morning of 7 June 2011. During the event, the background to the Centre was explained, a demonstration of accessing the site's data was given, and some of its initial research findings were presented.
The al+hdc aims to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of the low-income and affordable land and housing market in South Africa by encouraging researchers, students and professionals to explore property transactions at suburb level. Drawing deeds data from the South African deeds registry and survey data from StatsSA and other sources, the al+hdc provides information on all suburbs in South Africa where the average property price is less than R500 000 - giving insight into the purchase price, the type of buyer and seller, and the level of mortgage finance in this segment of the market. Consolidated analysis includes trends, levels of churn in different areas and the average value of properties.
Since the initiative started in November 2010, the database has been updated three times, and indicators have been developed so that activity within the affordable property market can be better monitored.
Download the June 2011 issue of the al+hdc newsletter, which provides quarterly data on the performance of the affordable property market.
The al+hdc is a joint initiative of FinMark Trust and Urban LandMark, with support from Lightstone Property Services and Eighty20.

Having a maid service clean your house on a regular basis -- or complete a one-time deep cleaning -- is a wonderful way to take care of your home without spending hours on your knees with cleaning supplies. Regular cleaning also helps preserve wood floors, furniture, upholstery and countertops. You may be intimidated by the potential cost of hiring a maid service, but before you get discouraged, here are a number of factors that could decrease your price or make it worthwhile regardless.
On This Page:
- Number of Rooms in Your Home
- Bedrooms
- Bathrooms
- Cleaning Products
- Special Needs & Pets
- Accessibility
- Distance
How Much Does Maid Service Cost?The average maid service cost is $157, though homeowners could spend anywhere between $116 and $226 for their services. Typically, maid service charges are either by the hour or square footage. Per hour costs are between $25 and $35. Square footage charges depend on the size of your house. For example, an area less than 1,000 square feet averages $120 while 3,000 square feet or more could cost $140. Some maid services may do a first-time cleaning by the square foot. This allows the maid service to determine how long it will take to clean your house and to get an idea of what special attention your house may require such as high ceiling fans, fragile antiques, etc. On average, the typical single family home costs $130. Maid service for apartments averages $100 and for businesses around $150. How often you expect the maid service to come out can also affect your cost. Multiple visits may actually net you some savings. Savings can typically be about $5 to $10 per cleaning. You might be able to get a further discount by paying for multiple cleanings upfront or by signing a contract for long-term service. This winds up saving you anywhere from $50 to $200 in the long run. Maid services can do a one-time cleaning as well. This can be useful for sprucing up your home for a holiday party, viewings by potential buyers or apartments after a tenant has moved out and before a new one comes in. For the typical home, this cost is normally around $200 to $300.Return to Top
How To Estimate The Cost Of Maid ServiceOther factors come into play when paying for a maid service as well. These factors include the number of rooms to be cleaned, how many bathrooms there are, if you have particular needs for certain types of cleaning products, accessibility to rooms, and travel time to your home.
1. Determine how many rooms you want to clean.Make a list of the rooms in your house you would like to have cleaned and consider how long it would take you to clean those rooms yourself. Although a maid service may be faster, it is a good way to get a general estimate of the time and cost of hiring someone else to clean for you. The more rooms you have, the more expensive the cost of cleaning. If you do not have a home that gets dirty quickly, you could choose to have a certain number of rooms cleaned each visit and rotate every time. This way each room gets cleaned within a certain timeframe, and you can save a little on the cost as well.Return to Top
2. Count the number of bedrooms.By counting bedrooms, maid services can get an idea of the occupancy and usage of your home. Higher occupancy often means a bit more cleanup. A large house with only two bedrooms will generally not require as much work as a small house with four bedrooms. A bedroom may have specific cleaning needs as well. For example, a master bedroom may have a walk-in closet that requires vacuuming and dusting. A dresser overloaded with tiny photographs and other mementos will take more time to clean as well.Return to Top
3. Count the number of bathrooms.Bathrooms are perhaps the most involved rooms to clean. They also often use the harshest cleaners. Bathrooms require specific cleaners for specific tasks. For example, a toilet cleaner won't work well on a shower, and a shower cleaner won't work well on a toilet. The sink and vanity will require their own types of cleaners, and mirrors require yet another. Shower doors may need a cleaner specifically for removing hard water stains and soap residue. Floors will also need to be mopped with their own cleaners. Naturally, the larger the bathroom, the more involved it will be to clean. A master bath might include: a large shower, a bathtub, his and her vanities, his and her sinks, large mirrors, multiple lighting fixtures, and accessories for the tub and/or shower. Some of these may include metallic finishes that require specific cleaners, such as brass or stainless steel. If your sink and tiles are marble, they will require special care because as hard as it is, marble is porous and scratches easily. Because bathrooms are so demanding in their maintenance, there are some services that clean only bathrooms. A typical price for this service is about $25 per hour.Return to Top
4. Decide between standard and eco-friendly cleaners.Think about the products that you want to use in your home. Many people prefer environmentally-friendly, non-toxic products. If this is what you want, you need to be clear about this from the start. Most house cleaners will ask you to supply your own cleaning products or pay for theirs. So if you have specific product needs, it could factor into the price. To see what sort of cost difference there is, compare the common products below:
- Window cleaner (32 oz.)
- Standard brands such as Windex -- about $3
- ?Green? brands such as Green Works -- $5.50 to $8
- Carpet spot cleaner (22 oz.)
- Standard brands such as Spot Shot -- $4
- ?Green? brands such as Simple Green -- $5
- Floor cleaner (144 oz.)
- Standard brands such as Pine-Sol -- $14
- ?Green? brands such as Simple Green -- about $20
- Dish soap
- Standard brands such as Dawn (24 oz) -- $2
- ?Green? brands such as Green Works (22 oz) -- $3
As you can see, eco-friendly cleaners cost more. If you want to ensure that only ?green? products are used, you should supply them.Return to Top
5. List any special circumstances such as allergies, antiques, and pets.Do you have:
- Valuable antiques in your home?
- High ceilings and require a ladder to dust the ceiling fan?
- A cat that is never allowed in the bedroom or a dog that sheds on everything?
- A 12-pack of regular vacuum cleaner bags costs about $4
- An allergen-reducing pack of 3 costs about $7
6. Determine if you have areas that are difficult to access.If there are parts of your home that are more difficult to access, such as very high ceilings, windows or shelving, your house cleaner may have an extra charge associated with anything that involves the use of a ladder or difficult-to-access places. Tall ceilings usually have ceiling fans suspended from them that require a ladder to get up to even if a wand is used. Often a home with high ceilings also has tall or high windows and high shelving. This is not only a bit of extra work to get the ladder in, set up, and back out again, it's also a safety hazard. A maid service will most likely have to use your ladder, and if it isn't in good shape, you could be held liable for injuries. (OSHA has an entire section dedicated just to ladders.) Multi-story homes require moving heavier household equipment such as vacuum cleaners up flights of stairs. Also, cleaning rails and balustrades can incur an extra cost as does the task of vacuuming the stairs themselves.Return to Top
7. Find out if your home is located in the service area.Some maid services will charge a trip fee if your home is outside of their service area. If you want to avoid this, look for maid services that are in your general vicinity. How much this charge is varies widely and can be influenced by such factors as the remoteness of your home, the workload on the maid service, and the cost of gas. Be sure to check what their service area is and shop around. One maid service may have more calls than they can handle and may charge more while another who needs the work might offer a lower trip fee in order to get the business.
Return to Top
Independent Operators vs. CompaniesThere are many maid services to choose from. They range from individual people looking for extra income to full-fledged corporations with nationwide services. Which one you choose depends entirely on your personal preferences. Independent operators often charge less, sometimes as little as $10 an hour. As independents, you can sometimes negotiate an acceptable rate. Few, if any, will require a contract, and changes to your cleaning schedule are usually not a problem. Many can provide references to attest to the quality of their work and to their personal integrity and honesty. There are websites where individual maids can advertise their services and list their qualifications and specialties. Maid service companies are bonded, licensed and insured, but they usually cost more, around $25 to $35 an hour. Many require contracts and may or may not be able to accommodate last-minute schedule changes. However, maid service companies have better dependability. If the maid who cleans your house is out sick, they can call in another employee who will have the same qualifications as your regular maid. As with any service, get references regardless of if you're considering a company or an individual and check HomeAdvisor reviews as well as anywhere else you can find them. Three to five should be enough to give you an idea of what level of service to expect.
Return to Top
What to Expect From a Maid ServiceA maid service can be expected to come to your house and clean. But what does that entail? The standard maid services include:
- Vacuuming your floors, but may or may not include polishing them if needed
- Dusting surfaces, but if you have antiques or other such items to be cleaned, it may cost you more depending on how fragile they are or if special cleaners must be used.
- Scrubbing floors, sinks, and countertops, but if you have old or damaged grout, all a maid can do is clean it.
- Do the dishes.
- Do your laundry.
- Wash walls unless it has been agreed upon, and will carry an extra charge. Mini-blinds can also carry an extra charge.
While most maid services will need to see what needs cleaning before giving you a quote, here are a few examples prices for many common tasks and some extras:
- 900 sq. ft. 2-bedroom apartment, 5 rooms
- One-time cleaning - $70-$200
- Bi-weekly cleaning - $60-$125
- 1300 sq. ft. single-story home, 7 rooms
- One-time cleaning - $90-$300
- Bi-weekly cleaning - $80-$150
- 2200 sq. ft. two-story 3-bedroom home, 9 rooms
- One-time cleaning - $150-$400
- Bi-weekly cleaning - $100-$180
- Window cleaning, interior (exterior if safely possible) - $20-$70
- Refrigerator cleaning (including removing and replacing items) - $30
- Oven cleaning - $25-$30
- Move-In/Move-Out - $190-$330
Whole House CleaningWhole house cleaning is a service that goes above and beyond simply dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing. Whole house cleaning includes cleaning lighting fixtures, switches, outlets, baseboards, air ducts, tiles, grout, upholstery, carpet cleaning, trim, crown molding and a whole slew of services dedicated to giving your house a deep cleaning. Unlike a typical maid service, a whole house cleaning includes moving furniture to get at the area underneath and behind it. This kind of service is normally used to prepare a home for viewing by potential buyers, post-construction clean-up, or for cleaning up extreme cases such as might be seen with a ?hoarder.? It is a very involved service and can cost a bit. Whole house cleaning services are normally done on a one-time basis. The cost of having a whole house cleaning ranges from a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand. Factors that influence this cost include:
- Square footage of the house -- A larger house will involve more work. There will be more air ducting, more windows, more walls, more floor space, etc.
- Stories -- A multi-story house will require moving heavy equipment up and down stairs. Just as with a regular maid service, this will normally cost more.
- Tall ceilings -- Ceilings do collect dust and cobwebs, and lighting fixtures and ceiling fans will need to be cleaned. With tall ceilings, this involves the extra risk of working on a ladder.
- Furniture -- Some maid services will vacuum the upholstery, but a whole house cleaning also includes deodorizing the furniture and making it presentable.
- Carpets -- Maid services will vacuum your carpets. If you need a deep cleaning, however, whole house cleaning involves shampooing and extraction. This is particularly important if you want to show your house for sale but have pets.
Naturally, a whole house cleaning will cost more than the typical maid service. As a baseline idea of what to expect to pay, here is an example of some prices for a deep cleaning based on rooms. Remember that the prices reflect an average and could change depending on the size of the room, fixtures, appliances, etc.:
- Kitchen -- $75 or more
- Full Bath -- $45 or more
- Half Bath -- $15 or more
- Bedroom -- $30 average
- Living Room -- $30 average
- Dining Room -- $30 average
- Other Common Rooms -- $30 average
- Home Office -- $15 average
- Halls/Stairs -- $30 average
- Carpet Cleaning -- $75-$200 for whole house, or $0.25-$0.50 per square foot
- Furniture -- Remove stains and odors - $50-$100
- Windows -- Normal windows can cost $5 per window, $3 per screen.
- Polishing or Waxing -- Average $0.25-$0.50 per square foot. Some companies may have a minimum for this depending on the size of the house.

Should You Hire a Weekly or Monthly Housekeeper or Maid Service?How often you have a maid service come to your house depends on your needs and your schedule. You might need just a little help staying on top of things, such as if you are elderly or handicapped, or you might need a lot of help because of your busy schedule or because you entertain a lot. Here is an idea of what the various schedules are best suited for:
- Weekly -- A weekly cleaning is ideal for those with busy lives and lots of social obligations. For these people, even a simple wiping down of kitchen counters and vacuuming can put a crimp in their overloaded schedules. Even those who work at home can find themselves without the time to do much beyond the bare necessities depending on the nature of the work.
- Bi-weekly -- As a general upkeep type of service, this is the most popular schedule for many homes. It's ideal for someone who is busy, but not overloaded with work or social commitments.
- Monthly -- A once-a-month thorough cleaning provides a good, regular service for your home. While it can be more costly than the previous two options because of the workload involved, it's also often enough for people who don't entertain a lot and who may not have particularly loaded schedules.
Normally, the more often a maid service comes out to your house, the less it will cost you per visit. With such a routine schedule, the maid service will most likely have the cleaning supplies you need so that you don't have to buy them (unless you require certain products due to allergies, environmental concerns, etc.). Weekly and bi-weekly visits are not only more cost effective, they're also healthier. A routine cleaning of your home reduces allergens, bacteria, and other health concerns for your family. A weekly visit can save $5 to $10 per visit, not including what you'll save if you don't have to buy your own cleaning products.
Return to Top
In ConclusionWhich maid service you choose, company or individual, what level of service you choose, and how frequently you have the maid service come out will entirely depend on your needs and budget. Some people only have certain heavily used rooms cleaned regularly, which saves quite a bit, while others may need their entire house cleaned only once in awhile. Whichever you choose, be sure to have the maid service come out and look at your house, and let them know every special requirement your home may have, from delicate collectibles to potentially difficult-to-reach areas.

Salmon farms: Has anything changed after a decade of controversy?May 1, 2014
Our coastal waters are rich in opportunity. They can contribute to food security and community resilience without open net-cage salmon farms. Unless we chart a sound course, salmon will lose — but so will we, and the bears, eagles and magnificent coastal forests that support so much life. More »
Only with political will can we avoid the worst of climate changeApril 24, 2014

Is it time for a real war on cars?April 17, 2014
In railing against everything from bike lanes to transit spending, pundits and politicians often raise the spectre of a "war on cars." Of course, there is no war on cars — but there should be. More »

Today my site had some mind-boggling problems that came seemingly out of nowhere (white screen of death, 403 errors), which then seemed to resolve themselves all on their own.
My site is mostly all recovered, back up and running as usual. But I am missing chunks of the WP admin panel. The 'updates' page is gone. The 'editor' option is missing under 'appearance'. The new plugin button is missing and I also cannot delete any plugins.
I tried replacing the files in wp-admin and wp-includes but I'm getting a lot of errors. It's really as if the site has a mind of its own right now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

what year is the chassis? is this a 99 or 01 cylinder?July 19, 2014 at 1:33 pm #30583
Kai GoddardParticipant
Hi Nick,
Its a 2008, I'm not sure on the 99 or 01.
Long story short, I bought this kart in 2011 from Zanardi America. I used it three times to train for an endurance race in a GT car that December, this kart was never raced, only used for lapping. I'd never had much karting experience prior, I raced sedans and admired the killer work out sessions with the shifter.
It has been stored since 2011, I recently took it to Pure Karting for a tune up prior to selling. It runs strong.
You're welcome to look at it, go for a drive, it's currently in Scottsdale, AZ.

Man pleads innocent to assaultJuly 09,2013A Rutland man pleaded innocent Monday to a charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault for alledgedly beating his girlfriend.
Jesse Neil, 31, was ordered held at the Rutland jail for a lack of $10,000 bail.
According to court documents, Neil was arrested Saturday following a fight with his girlfriend at a home on Howe Street in Rutland.
Police said he had been drinking and arguing with his girlfriend and other people. When he was asked to leave, police said, Neil refused to do so which prompted his girlfriend to lightly push him out of the way.
Police said this escalated to the point where Neil allegedly hit his girlfriend in the back of the head and grabbed her by the arm roughly.
If convicted, Neil faces up to 15 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Maple Glen is a nice place to grow up. - 3/1/2009
I grew up in Maple Glen, my family moved there when I was 5 years old. (I am now 28) The neighboorhood is quiet and there is almost no crime. We left our doors unlocked at night. Most houses have a nice sized yard and the public schools are safe and provide a good education. There are a number of nice public parks, including one that has a 1 mile walking track. Maple Glen is about a half hour West of Philadelphia.[Comment on this Posting]

Band: The Crickets; Buddy Holly
The guy made thick framed glasses cool. Every nerd who lived after Buddy Holly pioneered both rock 'n roll and rockstardom needs to thank the ghost of the man who saved them from countless wedgies. Touted as the greatest influence on classic and modern rock, he was also definitely a style influence on the musicians who came after his late '50s success. His death was known as the day the music died, but luckily his style legacy carried on.

At least ten minutes are wasted just trying to get to the issue. Provided the person you are talking to can understand and speak English. Wait for that experience! Fannie Mae says that PHH is supposed to be making changes, I do not see it happening. Is that why the guy shot himself? 750 Billion dollars went to these companies, who have they helped??? The Government should have just handed over a Million dollars to each of us and we would have solved the problems ourselves, at a greatly reduced expense to the Government.

I am getting an error: "Error establishing a database connection" when I attempt to access my blog.
I did some searching for the error but the only info I can find is that it is connected to installing WP on a Windows machine with MySQL 4.1.7 and the error is only really during installation...
However my problem is different in that it is installed on a Linux server running MySQL 4.1.21-Max-log (according to phpMyAdmin).
When I login to phpMyAdmin I am able to see the database and browse it. I am able to access the runtime status but am not able to refresh or rest it. That is the only thing I can suspect it would be.
Has anyone else encountered this? What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

March 28, 2009. I paid him $50.00 for this and he cashed the next day with his identification "GLOBEX #0212610879" (maybe this is his License No).
Shipment will only take about 4 weeks to get to Phils. but after a month my
sister did not receive it yet so I followed it up by phone to them but no one answered, so left messages to return my call. I called all their telephone listed including TOLL FREE PHONE NO. 877-645-6239, no response. After all efforts done, it was obvious that they did not ship my box. I happened to know one of their customers who paid them for about 8 boxes and still not been received by the addressee also. All of the contents inside the box are very badly needed to be received by my sister who is 86 years.
I did filed a complain with the Office of the District Attorney of Orange, Santa Ana, California and also to Los Angeles, Department of Consumer Affairs, 500 West Temple Street, Los Angeles , Ca. 90012.
I enclosed the following pertinent documents as Annex A thru F:
A. Complaint Form with my declaration in writing dated June 16, 2009
B. Copy of front and back of my Check#2362 for $50.00 duly cashed and signed by GLOBEX the next day.
C. Globe Express Invoice#30924 re: shipment to ship box to Phils.
D. copy of emails to Global Express re, status of shipment inquiries...failed
E. copy of photo of new convection toaster oven included in the box.
F. my sister's letter dated 5/23/09 to the Phil. Office re, my shipment to be delivered to her, no response whatsoever.
I need your help so they may at least ship the box if still untouch and unopened, so it will be delivered to the addressee.
Thank you.

MIAMI (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox have acquired outfielder Jeremy
Hermida from the Florida Marlins for left-handers Jose Alvarez and
Hunter Jones.
Hermida was the Marlins' first-round draft pick in 2002 but has
yet to fulfill his projected potential. He hit .259 this year with
13 home runs and 47 RBIs. He's a career .265 hitter with 57 homers.
Alvarez went 9-4 in Class A this year with a 2.26 ERA in 12
starts and 14 relief appearances. The 20-year-old Venezuelan has a
3.21 ERA in four minor league seasons.
Jones spent most of this year in Triple-A but had a 9.24 ERA in
11 relief appearances for the Red Sox.

Hi, all.
I've tried multiple times to contact the author of the Multiply plug for help, but I get no response, so I am hoping that the WP community can help me.
I've set up the plug in and followed the directions exactly as the author describes on his site and I still can't get the blogs to display.
For quite a while I was getting errors due to my host's (GoDaddy.com) file structure. I am past all that now but all I get when I click on the "View Site" link from the Dashboard, all I get is a blank, white page. No error messages ... nothing. Just empty cyberspace.
So far, I am trying to set up two blogs (and I'll set up more if I can get this problem solved).
The direct link addressess are as follows:
Luckily, the main blog still comes up perfectly. it's address is:
This page shows what I want to appear for the "chronicles" index.php
Is there anyone that can shed some light on my problem?

A targeted methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) control program did not affect total nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bloodstream infections (BSI) despite reducing MRSA BSI
International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control (ICPIC 2011)
International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control (ICPIC 2011)
Introduction / objectives
Background: Intense efforts at reducing MRSA infections have been used in Singapore hospitals from 2007 with active surveillance, intense hand hygiene campaigns, public displays of surveillance results and audio and visual reminders.
Aim: We evaluated the impact of this campaign on overall Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bloodstream infection rates.
Method: All patients with a positive blood culture for SA from Oct 2007 to Feb 2011 were prospectively studied. Infections were classified as community acquired (CA), healthcare acquired (HCA) or nosocomial (NA) according to the US CDC. Rates were calculated per 1000 patient days.
Results: There were a total of 554 SA bloodstream infections during the study period, 115 were CA, 265 HCA and 174 NA of these, 220 were MRSA (10 CA. 111 HCA and 99 NA) and 334 were methicillin susceptible (MSSA) (103 CA, 155 HCA and 76 NA). The trends were analysed using regression models. Despite a decrease in overall SA BSI from 0.62 ± 0.20 to 0.44 ± 0.13 per 1000 pt-days (rate -0.119, p=0.023), there was no significant change in nosocomial SA BSI (from 0.21 ± 0.08 to 0.15 ± 0.10, rate 0.043, p=0.16). This is because the decline (rate 0.0037, P= 0.0001) in nosocomial MRSA BSI from 0.16 ± 0.06 to 0.05 ± 0.09 per 1000 pt days was offset by a rise in nosocomial MSSA infections from 0.06 ± 0.05 to 0.10 ± 0.17 per 1000 pt days (increase rate 0.0013 P= 0.061).
Conclusion: Our targeted MRSA control program reduced nosocomial MRSA BSI, however replacement by nosocomial MSSA attenuated the overall impact on BSI. A comprehensive approach is needed to reduce all hospital acquired infections.

Bob Casey on Government Reform
Democratic Sr Senator (PA)
A: I've accepted money from lobbyists. The question is what impact does that money have on your vote. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm very independent. I'll be focused on needs of Pennsylvanians not the special interests in D.C.
A: I don't think there is any question that it cheats people out of more time with the candidate.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): I am cosponsoring the legislation to provide a House seat for DC and an additional House seat for Utah. Representation and suffrage are so central to the American system of self-government that America's founders warned that limiting suffrage would risk another revolution and could prevent ratification of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held in 1820 that Congress' legislative authority over DC allows taxation of DC. Do opponents of giving DC a House seat believe that DC is suitable for taxation but not for representation?
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I make a constitutional point of order against this bill on the grounds that it violates article I, section 2, of the Constitution. I appreciate the frustration felt by the residents of DC at the absence of a vote in Congress. According to many experts, DC is not a State, so therefore is not entitled to that representation. Also, one has to raise the obvious question: If DC is entitled to a Representative, why isn't Puerto Rico, which would probably entail 9 or 10 Members of Congress? [With regards to the seat for Utah], this is obviously partisan horse-trading.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BYRD: In 1978, I voted for H.J. Res. 554, that proposed amending the Constitution to provide for representation of D.C. [That amendment passed the Senate but was not ratified by the States]. While I recognize that others believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to "exercise exclusive legislation" over D.C., the historical intent of the Founders on this point is unclear. I oppose S.1257, because I doubt that our Nation's Founding Fathers ever intended that the Congress should be able to change the text of the Constitution by passing a simple bill.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. HATCH. There are conservative and liberal advocates on both sides of this issue,and think most people know Utah was not treated fairly after the last census. For those who are so sure this is unconstitutional, [we include an] expedited provision that will get us to the Supreme Court to make an appropriate decision. It will never pass as a constitutional amendment. There are 600,000 people in D.C., never contemplated by the Founders of this country to be without the right to vote. They are the only people in this country who do not have a right to vote for their own representative in the House. This bill would remedy that situation.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. DOLE. I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. FEINSTEIN. If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote for this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
A bill to prevent Members of Congress from receiving any automatic pay adjustment in 2010.
For purposes of the provision of law amended by section 704(a)(2)(B) of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (5 U.S.C. 5318 note), no adjustment under section 5303 of title 5, United States Code, shall be considered to have taken effect in fiscal year 2010 in the rates of pay under the General Schedule.

I mean, I couldn't get enough. Doubly so with Civ 2. The things you could do with that game. It had...personality. I remember little stuff, like the different architectural styles, that gave the game such an immersive quality. I remember how every time I played, the world had its own story, and how things would seem to take on a life of their own. The endless war with the Mongols, my alliance with the Germans, butting heads with Caesar. I learned more about history there than I ever did in school. It was fantastic. I didn't even play to win most of the time. I was a fifteen year-old kid in a sandbox.
I got older, and Civ grew with me. I spend endless hours on 3 and 4, balancing game commitments and my real life. When Civ 5 was announced, I didn't hesitate. I bought it immediately.
In short, it didn't take me long before I realized that this new Civ was nothing like the Civ of old. I've never played Revolutions, but I've heard there is a lot of overlap. I don't know. What I do know is that this game is boring. Really, really boring. Never have I clicked the "next turn" button like I have here. Maybe it's because it takes forever to build anything...so long, in fact, that it's easier just to hoard gold and buy things.Read more ›
There are certain things I really like about this game. City states were a great addition and make the game a lot more interesting. Being able to purchase land is awesome and realistic. Easier rushbuying is a lot of fun and doesn't unbalance the game.
The new combat system is pretty goofy (for example, archers are a ranged unit but riflemen are not). It's a bit more fun than the old "stacks of doom," but I see reviewers praising the new combat system as "more streamlined" when it is definitely not. Moving an old stack of doom required 2 clicks (click on SOD, click on destination). Now you need to do the same thing 5-10 times as much to move an army.
The new Civic talent tree offers more customization of specific traits, which is fun to plan around. However you can't swap civics to match a change in strategy in-game (eg. teching up at the beginning of the game and then turning to a warlike theocracy once you realize you're likely to lose the space race). This is disappointing. Overall, when Civ5's civics are compared to Civ4 its a wash.
In-between-turn load times suck. On a normal size map in the modern age, I was sitting and watching the hourglass for an average of 15 seconds in between each turn--even when I wasn't watching animations of enemy moves. I'd blame my computer but it runs pretty much every other game at high settings without a hint of a problem.
Music is poor, particularly the asian themed music which sounds like a bad parody of its genre.Read more ›
- Like every previous version, the graphics have been overhauled and improved. In my opinion, the graphics are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! (Just a quick note: I'm using an overclocked DirectX 11 capable card, so I'm able to use the High detail options along with DirectX 11 with no problem whatsoever, so keep that in mind if you have a system that doesn't have DX11 or a lower than the minimum specifications graphics card, as that will probably make your experience of the graphics differ from mine.)
- Hexagons instead of squares, which allow for more movement and attack options, necessary due to the change in combat and the removal of stackable units. This really doesn't affect the gameplay much, in my opinion it's a minor change that was necessary for this particular version.Read more ›

Liforme products are designed by Yogis, for Yogis. In our experience, there's nothing worse than practising on a slippy, sweaty, stinky Yoga mat so we created the grippiest, most absorbent and hygienic mat on the market. We also like space and comfort so our large Yoga mats are wider and longer than the norm and have a deep cushioning and unsurpassed stability. In addition, our unique AlignForMe system enables your Yoga poses to be in good alignment. We also believe in being as 'planet friendly' as possible so we use naturally sourced sustainable rubber for the bulk of the mat and have also used the most 'body kind' materials and processes in making the Liforme Yoga Mat. It's the best Yoga mat we've practised on; we feel sure you'll agree!
We also love giving back through charitable work

MotoGP championship leader Jorge Lorenzo believes his title battle with Dani Pedrosa could bring a new audience to the sport.
The two Spaniards are 13 points apart two thirds of the way through the 2012 campaign. The last time a premier class championship fight was so close at this stage of the season was when Mick Doohan, Max Biaggi and Alex Criville fought for the title in 1998.
Lorenzo has not won since the Mugello round in July, and has seen Pedrosa close in on him with victories at Indianapolis and Brno.
The Yamaha rider admitted he would rather be dominating as he did on the way to his maiden MotoGP crown in 2010, but thinks the close fight is a big opportunity for the championship.
"I would like to have more of an advantage in points and to be calmer at this stage in the championshp, but for several reasons it's not like that," said Lorenzo.
"In one way it's a little bit negative [for me], but on the other hand I think it's positive because a strong championship and a fight between two Spaniards is positive for the sport.
"I think we have to take this opportunity to make motorcycle sport bigger in Spain and maybe also around the world."
Lorenzo is confident that Yamaha will be more competitive at Misano this weekend, even though the full update package it recently tested will not be introduced until he switches to the last engine of his 2012 allocation.
"We found something in Brno that will give us a little more speed," he said.
"But for the moment we cannot use the last engine so we will have the same specification and bike as in Brno.
"But I think we are faster anyway and can fight for the win, and for the next race at home maybe we will have something extra and a better bike."
