Historical Traveler Reviews The Nadler Kensington London
Excellent value
Just returned from 1 night at Base2stay. Had booked a single room but was upgraded to a superior on arrival. Review may have been different had I been allocated a single which I understand can be quite small. Helpful and pleasant staff and a clean, well equipped room. Hotel very well located just a few minutes walk from Earls Court tube and M&S for food to cook in room. Hotel great for business travel. Staff trying very hard at the moment. Key to future success wil be whether they can keep up the high standard of decor and equipment along with reasonable prices when the hotel has been in operation for some time. I'd go now. It represents very good value.
I simply booked this hotel because I wanted to try what they claim to be a new concept, I am a french freelance journalist (UK based) working in the airline industry and it is clear that this company is spending a lot of money, morethan required in PR- The same technique easyjet used to launch the their first low cost flight to Geneva. I wanted to find out what the whole thing is all about.
How was the hotel? Well, in one word (Perfect). All what you will not expect for �99 a night. A very quiet AC, 30" LCD screen, massive comfortable bed, a very clean room, (not typical for many London 4* hotels), a professional and friendly bunch of staff, good size windows, double electric showers, very good security at the hotel, free internet on TV, cheap phonecalls.....I was so happy with the service and the non rip-off culture of the concept that I have decided to do an article for them in a french hospitaity margazine. I have also booked the hotel for fellow reporters who are coming down for the T-games, Wimbledon.
The staff are noticeably organised for a new concept, not usual for many new openings. I really for once cannot find anything to criticise about this hotel.
Well looked after
When I booked base2stay I wasn't sure what to expect, all I knew was it is a new hotel design concept. Even though I checked-out the website, I remained apprehensive. I very quickly upon checking in realised there was no need to be concern. The staff at reception showed all the professional qualities you will expect from well trained staff. The check in process took less than 2 minutes and I was told everything about the hotel even before I arrived to my room. I was asked by Khatuna/Vinnay (if I remember right from the name badges)?? if i would like help with my luggage.
Entering my room I was super surprised as to how fresh, organised and intimate everything in the room was. I had a choice of either ordering room service or going down to eal's court to get some items for the fridge provided. I find the place perfect and the staff caring, attentive and willing to help at all times. The rooms are not oversized but pretty good for what we paid � 99.
I took 30 brochures with me to the states as i am so happy with the service I got from everyone at base2stay that I have decided to be their unofficial sales rep in Texas.
I certainly will highly recommend this lovely hotel to everyone who is looking for the perfect place to stay and you wont regret it I promise you.
Can we please have a couple of base2stays' in Texas complete with a captain and his nice and friendly people?
Nice One
My girlfriend and i visited base2stay hotel 18-22nd May for a long weekend for my birthday.We chose to stay at base2stay after reading the numerous good reviews and was not dissapointed.the hotel is a 4 star and looks to have undergone a refurbishment recently all done very well.We stayed in a standard room we managed to get for �100 per night (not including breakfast).It had a great big modern bathroom large lcd tv and the best bit an absolutly massive bed that has got to be the most comfiest ever slept in, which is what you need after a tiring day around london.the staff are friendly but not intrusive. Staff knew what they are there for and we had excellent service from the point of checking in to when we departed. The hotel is aprox 4 minutes from earls court tube station which gets you any where you want to go. its also cheap to eat round earls court if you are on a budget.
All in all a brilliant hotel and when we return to london we will stay here again. would recomend this hotel very highly.
Base2Stay - great value
We have just had a nigt at Base2stay in Earls Court, for �89.00 it is great value. The rooms are clean, modern, well furnished with a good size bath/showerroom. Kitchenette is a good idea but sadly no coffee or tea bags provided. Good location close to buses and tubes. Will definately return on next London trip.
The Real Deal - Fantastic
We come from Honduras. We stayed for 5 nights @ base2stay hotel and we were very impressed by what I got for the price I paid. The room cost us �99 a nights and for that, we got a room better than what we usually get in most four star hotels. 32'' LCD Screen, 6ft bed, fantastic shower room with power shower that gave me and my wife a good massage. Everything is new and we got very good service. The staff are efficient and friendly, breakfast comes in a box, but for 4.95� we were happy, and it was also delivered to our room door. The rooms are spacious for London and we are very surprised with how clean our room was. All the things are nicely presented. We went to the local store to buy some food and it was so nice to have the feeling of home. There is also a clever kitchenette system. We use the TV internet for free. We are very pleased with our stay and we will definitely book this hotel again when we come back to London. I also like the area very much.
Incredible Value
I always like to try new hotels so when I read about base2stay in the Toronto Globe and Mail, I thought I'd try it on my next trip to London. It sounded too good to be true for the price. It didn't start off well when my first email went unanswered. But that's the sort of thing that you can forgive in a new hotel. However, my arrival was handled politely and efficiently. The room wasn't huge (I'd booked a single) but was brand new and sleek with everything you'd expect in a more expensive and bigger hotel room - air conditioning, flat screen TV, desk, broadband internet (you have to pay, but internet on the TV is free), and - halleluiah! - enough plugs for all my equipment without having to pull out the bedside light - a first! I'd forgotten my iPod, so the discovery of a music "library" via the TV was an unexpected bonus. I rarely use room service (usually too expensive). However their alternative of a kitchenette looked like a good idea, though I only used it for a morning cup of tea, as I'd ordered their breakfast box - another good idea. There was a fantastic shower, which I didn't expect in London and a surprising amount of space to hold my toilet kit in a bathroom that felt much larger than it actually was.
All told, it was an incredible value for my two nights in London. It felt like
I was staying in a more costly hotel, and had everything I needed to do my work.
On my next visit I will go for a bigger room - at such prices, I can afford it!
Simply Great
Sorry for my English, but I'm from Italy. I stayed for 4 nights at base2stay hotel with my girlfriend. The room wasn't very big but it was beautiful : we had a 32" philips lcd tv in front of the bed, a little fridge, a microvawes oven, spoons, kinifes...etc.. You can also use a fast internet connection on the TV ( 15 min. are free then if you want to use longer you have to pay). The bathroom and the shower were simply perfect! The shower box is very big! (i took a shower togheter with my girlfriend!). Everything is very very clean (the hotel is new).
The staff was very friendly and competent and could suggest you about the restaurants and shops in the area. The earl's court station in 2 minutes from the hotel and the hotel location is in a very pretty road!
I will surely return here! I have been in other London hotels of the same price but this one is the best I have ever been!
I stayed three nights at the Base2Stay in May '06 by myself. Since I was traveling on my own, I was initially supposed to stay at a friend's house, but due to some scheduling problems it didn't work out - so I had to book a hotel. I decided to give Base2Stay I shot even though (or because) it was a new hotel and the descriptions on their website were promising - e.g., all rooms are equipped with a kitchenette featuring a microwave, a flat screen TV, a power shower, FREE 2MB internet access, and air cond. And the price wasn't THAT bad for London (considering the amenities), �71 per night for a single room.
The hotel is located near Earl's Court, in South Kensington, which is (at least partially) a bit more upscale neighbourhood. You couldn't be more happier with the services near the hotel - many internet caf�s, lots (and I mean LOTS) of different ethnicity restaurants and fast food places, plus all the big chains like Starbucks, McD., Burger King, KFC, Marks & Spencer Food, Boots all have a place there. The Earl's Court tube is just around the corner, and goes straight to Piccadilly Circus in a few minutes for example. So location is OK.
Now, I know that single rooms can sometimes (always?) be "single rooms" a.ka closets, especially in London, but STILL I was a bit surprised/disappointed when I saw the room. There was literally almost no room to move in the room. The luggage had to be placed under the (normal sized) bed, because it wouldn't have fitted anywhere else. From my window there was an enchanting view of a brick wall. Then there was the kitchenette, behind closet doors - which couldn't be opened properly because there wasn't enough room. The kitchenette itself was a fantastic idea though: a microwave, a mini fridge, a full set of dishes and kitchenware plus a sink with running water. As the hotel is new, the room (if you can call that closet that) was obviously clean.
The bathroom was good sized with a great power shower. However, once again it was installed too low - me being 6.0" (183 cm) I couldn't stand straight. The air conditioning? Well, it had basically two methods of operation: cold and loud, or off. It also went off when you left the room, because your keycard had to be pushed into a slot to make the lights and the aircond operate. A BAD idea because at least I want to keep the room cool during hot days.
Facing the bed was the TV, which was basically a very cheap tiny 20" flatscreen (no widescreen, just 4:3). The colors were so faded that you thought you were looking at a B&W program. Although they CLEARLY state in their website that all rooms feature FREE internet access, in reality you can use (at least using the TV) it for literally 5 minutes before you have to buy a 24h usage ticket for �7 if you want to keep using it.
HOWEVER - consider that this review is written on my experiences of the single room. I'm quite sure that staying at a double room, with all the amenities that they provide, with your spouse/partner is much more enjoyable and more value for money. But I wouldn't recommend the single room to anyone, if you're not a businessman or somebody staying for, let's say, 1 night and just need a bed to crash.
I would however like to address some of the points. As a conversion of a number of Edwardian and later buildings, almost no two rooms are alike. Some of our singles are quite spacious with high ceiling. However the room is question IS small (our smallest) and faces a parapet wall but this reaches to only 1/3rd window height. We're at fault for allocating this room to a guest staying for 3 nights, rather than putting them in a larger single. The under bed luggage storage is a specially designed, and we believe practical, feature in all our rooms, even the largest deluxe rooms.
The a/c is the latest Daikin system with simple controls for hotel use. These provide for temp. control by 1 degree stops from hot to cold, with both high and low fan settings. The fans should not be noisy (unless there was a fault of which we were not advised) and at low settings are very quite.
The TV is the latest Philips 20" flat screen for hotels - it has variable viewing settings, but instructions may need to be clearer.
We advertise and offer free internet access on the TV, the 2mb laptop broadband access being a seperate facility for which there is a charge. I've noted that both this review and another review mentioned that they were asked to pay for TV internet after a period. We will look into this immediatelly as, if this occured, it is a system programming fault, for which we apologise and which we will correct.
We encourage guests to complete a guest questionnaire at the end of their stay and to call us should they have any questions or concerns during their stay. Only in this way can we achieve and maintain the high standards to which we aspire.

I have a 4yo, and she eats mostly primal. She enjoys some gluten free products like EnviroKids cereal and Glutino bread, but the rest of her life is pretty much dead on primal. She loves fruit, and cheese, and yogurt, and raw milk, does okay with veggies and meat.
my kid is 4, eating primal since he was two. it's not expensive or difficult really. except when he wants sushi all the time.
(we allow him to have rice, potatoes, and honestly, whtever they have at kindy, and since it's a hippy kindy, it's always gluten free bread.)
Hi there,
Mine are 5yo and 7yo. Some of their favourites: salmon (or cod or chicken) pieces rolled in egg and almond flour and baked to have a nice crust. And our fake french fries (celeriac cut like french fries and baked in coconut oil). Just check the internet for kids paleo/scd/gaps recipes. You'll find plenty.
That said, I am not too strict on their eating. I don't have control on what they have in school, our at a friends house anyway. And they still have bread (dad does too). When I cook their main meal, I make it a nice healthy primal one. And frankly, there are less complaints on that compared to the times I gave them nice vegetarian meals ;)
I have 2 children, they are now 17 and 20. The 17 year old has always been naturally primal even though we didn't know it. She would not eat food until she was nearly 2 and after that would only eat meat, eggs and cheese. If she went for a snack she would get a piece of ham where the other would get crisps or a sandwich. If you gave Francesca a sandwich she would throw away the bread. She is still the same although she has recently started to introduce more foods - fruit and yoghurt. Still not interested in carbs. The other is a bread eater. Guess which one is slim? If I had my time again I would bring up both Primal.
[QUOTE=WeldingHank;943431]He has no questions, he is just here to troll.[/QUOTE]
Who is he trolling exactly and how?
you do seem to over analyze and over think it which complicates it. Think meat, veggies, good fats (butter, olive oil). Kids can have potatoes, rice, quinoa, and you can, too, if you're not crab intolerant.

Judge delays trial on Heinz Field seats lawsuit
PITTSBURGH -- A county judge has delayed a trial so the Pittsburgh Steelers and the taxpayer-funded city-county Sports & Exhibition Authority can continue trying to settle litigation over who must pay most of the estimated $30 million cost to add 3,000 seats to Heinz Field.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that a trial set to start today has been pushed back to Jan. 27 by Allegheny County Senior Judge Joseph James.
Mark Hart, director of planning and development for the Steelers, said the postponement was requested so the parties could keep negotiating.
Authority attorney Walter DeForest said, "All I can say is we're still talking."
The dispute centers on lease language and whether the added seats qualify as a "capital improvement" that should be paid for by the authority, or a "modification" for which the Steelers must pay.

Economic Geography
Course taught at Aix-Marseille University (AMSE Master 2), ENSAE (3), EHESS-PSE (APE Master 2)
Does European integration favor the development of peripheral regions or does it increase regional disparities? Are physical geography or the mobility of goods and production factors (labor and intermediate inputs) the main determinants of the spatial distribution of income? These are some of the questions tackled by recent developments in economic geography and presented in this course.
Economic theory under perfect competition is not able to explain the endogenous formation of cities or the persistence of income disparities across countries or regions. By contrast, this course presents the economic geography models (relying on industrial organization and trade theory under imperfect competition) that explain how spatial concentration may emerge. The trade-off between economies of scale and inter-regional trade costs is detailed as well as the role played by the mobility of factors. These models characterize the determinants of the firms and people location choices. Therefore they allow a better understanding of the impact of economic integration on regional inequality. The role of regional public policies is emphasized.
The second half of the course is devoted to the empirical studies based on these recent theories. Theoretical predictions are confronted to the real world, in the US as well as in Europe or at the World level. Reduced-form approaches based on sophisticated individual data techniques are presented first. Then more structural strategies directly testing the economic geography models are detailed.

The solar industry continues to gather steam in Colorado, even as many subsidies have been changed or reduced.
Colorado was one of only five states to increase its third quarter photovoltaic (PV) solar portfolio more than 5 megawatts in the third quarter of this year, compared to last year's third quarter, according to a report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and GTM Research released on Dec. 11. Overall, the U.S. solar PV market grew by 684 megawatts in the third quarter of 2012, 44 percent more than in the third quarter of 2011.
Neal Lurie, the Executive Director of the Colorado chapter of SEIA, attributed much of that growth mostly to reduced installation costs. Most of the growth appears to be coming from larger or third-party installations, especially after the changes to the Xcel Solar*Rewards program last year eliminated up-front rebates for residential solar PV installation.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The state is poised to take over the Okolona School District because of poor student performance and financial troubles.
The process moved forward Monday when the Commission on School Accreditation passed a resolution recommending that the state take over the troubled system.
If, as expected, the state Board of Education approves the recommendation at its Thursday meeting and Gov. Haley Barbour issues an emergency declaration, a conservatorship will be in the Okolona District on March 1 to meet with teachers and district employees, students, parents and the general public.
The Okolona School Board and superintendent will be terminated, and the state Board of Education will in effect serve as the governing body of the system.
"The children in that school district deserve a better opportunity than what is being offered at this time," state Superintendent Tom Burnham said during the specially called meeting of the commission, most of whose members participated via teleconference.
No member voted against the resolution to take over the district.
According to the state Department of Education, the district will run out of money before the fiscal year ends July 1.
"When a district can't meet its contractual obligations, the state Department of Education and the state board have no choice but to step in," Burnham said after the meeting when concerned citizens and Okolona public officials gathered to quiz him.
In addition to financial hardships, the commission found:
n The district has been unable to correct 21 of 41 accreditation problems it has been working on since November 2007.
n The district has a pattern of poor student performance. It is currently classified as failing and its performance level was lower in 2009-10 than it was the prior year.
n The commission cited concerns about "the safety, security and education interests" of the district's students.
"I want to get the school on the right track for the kids," said Yvonne Gunn, a mother of a second grader who drove to Jackson for the meeting. "I think it will take the community getting involved. The parents need to get involved. We have a lot of work to do."
Blake Wilson of Jackson, a commission member, said some of the problems associated with the district were safety issues. For instance, documentation was unavailable to show if bus drivers had completed in-service training.
Gregory Stephens, the fourth superintendent the district has had in four years, pointed out to the commission he had only been at Okolona since January. He previously was an administrator in Lowndes County.
He said he understands that problems exist in the district but would like to have the opportunity to work to correct them.
Burnham praised Stephens for notifying the state Department of Education soon after becoming superintendent of the financial troubles facing the district.
Burnham said he believes Stephens would continue "to have a role" in the district. "He has been on the job since January. We recognize that," Burnham said.
Carolyn Jones, a citizen, told the commission that the community wants to have a voice in resolving issues in the district, and that many people took issue with the short notice of the pending takeover.
Students, she said, worry that they will not receive credit for their completed coursework.
Burnham said that is not the case.
Others from the area supported the state's action.
"We think this is going to be a good way to resolve some issues with the schools in Okolona," said Mayor Louise Cole. She predicted the takeover would lead to a stronger community and better school system.
"It is unfortunate you have to go through this process," said Rep. Preston Sullivan, D-Okolona, who also attended the hearing. "But those children deserve a chance to compete with everybody else in the state, in the nation, in the world. Nobody is mad at anybody. We are just going to do what we can and hopefully some good will come out of this."
Sen. Jack Gordon, D-Okolona, told the commission he and others in the community would support the state efforts to improve the district. He also pledged to work within the legislative process to obtain more education funding.
Tupelo School Board member and education consultant Eddie Prather, who spent eight years as Okolona's superintendent, was hopeful about might happen.
"If getting the support of guidance from the state is good for the children," he said, "then that would be the direction to go."
Jones questioned the fairness of the state taking over the district for financial reasons since its state funding has been reduced through Barbour's budget cuts this fiscal year.
Barbour has cut K-12 education more than $200 million because tax collections have not met projections.
Burnham said his staff is conducting surveys to determine if other districts face similar financial circumstances. He said many districts are teetering financially.
Four districts already are under state conservatorship. Burnham said the state does not have the resources to take over all the districts that face academic problems similar to those in Okolona. What currently sets Okolona apart, resulting in the immediate action, is its financial situation.

Kara Ross to design special collection for Tory Burch
Quirky fashion jewellery designer Kara Ross is set to design a collection of statement jewellery for childhood friend and fellow designer Tory Burch. The collaboration, called Kara Ross for Tory Burch, is slated for release this Fall.
The collection will incorporate Kara Ross's fashionably-dark-but-never-creepy evil eye motif and will include 14K gold-plated metal and resin cuff bracelets, rings, chokers, pendants and bib necklaces featuring coloured enamels and semi-precious gemstones. The BFF collection has been designed specifically to compliment the tones and palette of Tory Burch's Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
Both designers grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and have spent their careers in the fashion industry, Tory working for designers such as Carolina Herrera and Narcisco Rodriguez and now as the founder of her eponymous brand and Kara, as a gemologist, fine jeweller and founder of her accessories brand.
The line will be available in July at Tory Burch stores internationally and online at Net-a-Porter.com, KaraRossNY.com and ToryBurch.com. No word yet on how we can score any of these intriguing pieces for ourselves in the UAE, but we're hoping boutiques that carry accessories by Kara Ross will also sell this limited edition collection.

Keratoconus is an eye disease that causes progressive thinning of the central cornea (the clear "window" of the eye). This gives the cornea a cone-shaped appearance and leads to blurred vision.
Keratoconus is a hereditary condition that first appears in the late teen years.
If you have keratoconus, contact lenses can provide good vision and allow you to avoid corrective surgery for many years.

vb code data refreshing
This is my first visit. I am new to vb. I need some help.
I have a site from where i can import data to excel. I need help
Data comes in a column . I need to put the data in different column. and every time when the data is refreshed and imported from the website it would be arranged in the same format. That is in different column.
Re: vb code data refreshing
Are you exporting the data or downloading some precreated excel files ?
Re: vb code data refreshing
Thanks Shabbir,
Actually , i would be importing the data file from Web site . which are in a single column.
To make clear
1) Put the datas in different column
2) here ......
First in the year
Second is the month
Third is the date
Fourth is the first hour of the day
Fifth is the first five mins of the hour
Sixth is the value
3) Change the fifth column into actual mins
4) Fourth and Fifth column should look like....01:05 in a single column..
4) And everytime the data refreshes ...it would come in the above format with the No:3 and No:4 condition.
Thanks ..
Re: vb code data refreshing
Then you have to code so that it reads the data and formats accordingly.

Valley General Hospital receives accreditation
MONROE - Valley General Hospital has achieved accreditation from the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations as a result of its demonstrated compliance with the commission's nationally recognized health care standards.

FINANCE Minister Pravin Gordhan says there are no immediate plans to increase mining taxes, despite the African National Congress (ANC) proposing that the government extract more revenue from the industry.
At its national conference last month, the ANC rejected proposals to nationalise mines, in favour of higher taxes. A study commissioned by the party had recommended a mineral resource rent tax of 50% on profits above 15% of "normal returns" and a reduction of the royalty tax to a base 1%.
Several mining companies, which have seen profit margins eroded by soaring electricity tariff increases and other input costs, are mothballing shafts, selling mines and retrenching workers.
Mr Gordhan said on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he had no immediate plans for mining taxes.
"There is no question of any taxes at this time. We will keep the matter under review and when we think it's appropriate we'll see how the regime needs to change."
Anglo American Platinum's proposed restructuring would cost the government about R4bn-R5bn, but this could be adjusted.
"We must be careful not to take a dispute in one or two mines in the platinum sector and generalise it to mining, because coal is working fairly well, oil is working fairly well, gold is working fairly well," Mr Gordhan said.
Mining companies paid R25.8bn in corporate tax in 2011 — nearly a fifth of South Africa's corporate tax — and R5.5bn in royalties. A further R9bn reached the fiscus from income taxes from mineworkers.
Tax experts said Mr Gordhan's comments were welcome, but doubts remained in the mining sector over changes in the fiscal regime, perpetuating the uncertainty spooking investors.
"It's definitely a positive development that he (Mr Gordhan) says there'll be consultation, but there's still uncertainty about what exactly will be introduced," KPMG mining tax expert Andries Myburgh said.
His colleague, Ben-Schoeman Geldenhuys, said the Treasury had a track record of interacting with industry role players before making changes to fiscal policy. "We've rarely seen fundamental, surprising policy changes," he said.
The mining industry and its tax consultants should grab the chance when it arises to discuss its entire tax burden, Mr Myburgh said.
Clarity was required on the tax treatment of companies' spending on social and labour plans, and building houses for their workers in line with obligations under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and the Mining Charter.
"There's a lot of uncertainty around the tax deductibility of those costs for mining companies. It could almost be seen as a separate tax," Mr Myburgh said.
The mining sector spent R2bn on community development and social investment projects in 2011.
Mr Gordhan said higher taxes were "part of a policy dialogue process. Many countries, including South Africa, are asking whether the mining royalties are at the right levels, whether the owners of minerals, which are the people of South Africa, are getting the right levels of return."
BDO's head of mining in sub-Saharan Africa, Ursula van Eck, said on Wednesday that the impression given after the ANC conference was that a mining tax change was imminent. She welcomed Mr Gordhan's "pragmatic approach".
"The mining industry is in a really difficult and challenging place at the moment, so any additional taxes or other demands on profits would put serious strain on companies."
Mr Gordhan said "absolute clarity" existed on policies for mining.
"There would be an interest that government might express from time to time, as governments in Chile or Norway or anywhere else express, in mineral resources that their countries have control over. We have a very good record of fiscal management, which we intend to continue," he said.

You might trip over this odd, hut-like lith on your way into the library without having any idea what just stubbed your toe. Low and inscrutable, most passersby disregard the weighty tablet with its text display set to Ancient Greek.
But this quiet week in summer, we pause to wonder: what is it? What is its meaning? Why is it here? Did some passing god or classics scholar drop his iPlinth in the mulch?
A college campus is sort of a living, breathing search engine, so it's just a matter of figuring out who to ask. One favorite go-to source is Heather Lyle, university archivist, who says the mysterious object was the original cornerstone of Doane Hall. It's the only surviving remnant of that handsome and lamented gothic structure, built by William Howard Doane in 1878 to house Denison's library. The building stood for 60 years, roughly where its cornerstone now rests, before being razed by Doane's daughters to build the more commodious and modern present library in 1936.
An inscription on the stone's side tells us it was a gift from the class of 1878, and early photographs of Doane Hall show the stone (if you squint) in the structure's northeast corner, at approximately chest-height for easy reading.
As to that, an email inquiry to Garrett Jacobsen, associate professor of classics, yielded a gratifyingly swift translation by iPhone: "He who possesses wisdom is wealthy;" an apt epigraph for a college library. Jacobsen suspects that it's probably not an attributable quote but rather an idea based on readings from the New Testament, which makes sense in light of Denison's religious orientation in the late 19th century.
Given that our object is first and foremost a piece of rock, a final question went out to the geology department. Professor Erik Klemetti interrupted his summer scholarship to conduct a discreet test, which confirmed that the striated stone is marble—not of the highest order, but it's in pretty good condition considering marble's vulnerability to acid rain.
So, there you have it; another mystery solved by Denison's faculty experts. Any other questions?

Hi. I was seeing a guy who went with a prostitute. I had unprotected
This answer was rated:
Hi. I was seeing a guy who went with a prostitute. I had unprotected and sometimes protected sex with him for about 3 months because I didn't know about his encounter. After a few months I started to look sick and unhealthy to the point where all my coworker noticed and asked me why I looked that way.
I've been getting cbcs pretty much every month and my doctor checked me for every disease you could think of because I kept complaining of symptoms. The only test that came back positive was the arthritis test. I was referred to an specialist and he ran more tests on me to find out if I have any autoimmune diseases. Everything came back normal except my white blood cells. They have been declining every month and now they are below normal.
January 4.3
February 3.9
March 3.7
April 3.6
The crazy guy who went with a prostitute went and got tested for HIV at 12 weeks 4 days, and at 20 weeks 4 days after his encounter (4.5 months) both came back negative.
I got tested at 3 months from my last sexual intercourse with him and it came back negative as well.
I've been having chronic headaches, nausea, sneezing, and more. I have low energy and some cough. What do you recommend doing at this point? My doctor asked to get another CBC in a month to see if my wbc keep declining. Any other advice? I really am suspecting the HIV infection. My dr says either the guy or I would have tested positive by now. But neither of us has a 6 month negative here.

I tested at 3 months about 3 weeks ago.
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
GReat - more than likely you do not HIV - I would check again at the 6 months, but more than likely you do not have HIV.
And, this could be anxiety for what you are feeling, but with a low WBC count, I would recommend getting this evaluated for possilbe leukemia such as AML type.

Okay. My coworkers say i look pale, and anemic, and tired, and I agree with them. I know people who have aids and they do not look pale like me, so yes anemia could be the cause. My rbc has been normal in all cbcs though. Then how could it be anemia?
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
Well if you have a normal HgB / HCT - hemoglobin and/or hematocrit, you are not anemic.

Hello its me again. I keep feeling sick. Should I go to a hematologist? neurologist? who should I go to? I went to the er because I was just frustrated and scared and couldn't sleep. I looked really pale and purple under my eyes and really bad nauseous. They took blood and this is what I got:
WBC COUNT 4.8 K/uL 4.5-11.0
RBC COUNT 3.54 Low M/uL 4.00-5.20
HEMOGLOBIN 12.5 gm/dl 12.0-16.0
HEMACROTIC 35.5 Low % 36.0-46.0
MCV 100.2 High fL 80-100
MCH 35.3 High pg 26-34
PLATELET COUNT 198 K/uL 150-350
Lymph % 41.8 %22-44
Mononuclear % 8.9 %4-11
Neutrophil % 45.2 %40-70
And I dont feel like typing the rest because they're within normal range. I did notice lymphocytes are a little on the higher end. My potassium was a little low they said 3.4 when 3.6 is the lowest normal. My calcium too was a little low. They gave me a potassium supplemet. I bought it at the store yesterday to start taking more because I just noticed my multivitamin doesn't have potassium in it and for some reason im not getting it from my diet. Maybe I need to eat more bananas. But yea your opinion on this test and symptoms and what I should do next would be appreciated.
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
I am sorry that you keep having this feeling of not being well.
Your values do seem to be normal - nothing really strikes me as being out of range at all.
I would recommend making an appintment with a family practice or general practitioner or Internal Medicine physician.
You might just have a thyroid condition such as low thyroid.
You might have anxiety / depression too.
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
Yea I hope its just mental it doesn't feel that way thought. What does concern me are my wbc. They've been always low or on the low side of normal. The er doctor also found a cyst on the back of my neck. I dont know if its reason to be concerned. I just got my thyroids checked not too long ago and they're normal.
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
Well your labs do appear very normal - so it could be anxiety.
your WBC's are normal.
And, if you have this cyst - then get this evaluated further with a biopsy and/or a Fine needle aspiration.
I Hope this helps, please provide Excellent feedback

Hi I have a few other questions. I freaked out again and went back to the ER. This is nerve racking. I have been asking myself the same question for the past 8 months. Do I have HIV? And if not HIV Then what IS it???
My wbc went down to 3.4 this time
The doctor at the ER said that 3.4 is nothing to worry about, but I read some doctors opinions on this site about a 3.4 wbc and they're saying is not all that normal. Another thing I wonder is if for ME this may be too low. I don't have my labs from a few years ago so I can't compare. 3.4 may not be dangerously low and may be normal for some people but maybe for me and for my body is pretty low. And maybe that's why im not feeling too well lately? Your thoughts?
Another question I have is, what specialist should I see??? One dr at the ER said to see a reumatologist, another said an infectious disease specialist, another said a gi dr, and another a hematologist. I dont know which way to go.
I truly believe I may have some sort of infection because of my symptoms.
Everything started in december. I had weight loss of 5 lbs very sudden, zero appetite I couldn't even smell food, a strange rash on my left leg that no dr could tell me what it was, night sweats, low grade fever 99.6 the highest, hot flashes, nauseas...
And ever since december Ive been experiencing the following
Extreme fatigue
Want to sleep all the time
No energy
Mouth ulcers
Stomach ache
Stomach makes noises
Migranes my head feels like is going to explode is horrible
Feel feverish all the time
Pale face noticed by a lot of people
Blue under eyes
Some sneezing like every other day
Mild sore throat sometimes
Been tested for allergies no allergies
The worst one is my bones hurt my hole body hurts
Little bubbles on palate and feels irritated
Tiredness for no reason
Hair is thinning
Hair looks dull and lifeless
Im taking a good amount of vitamins and eating fruits and dont drink or smoke ever so no reason why suddendly I look unhealthy unless something is really up
My period is been late lately and instead of lasting 3 days is lasting only one
My rheumatoid factor test came back positive and I have a history of thyroid problems and it runs in my family. I saw my endocrinologist and hormones are normal but this was back in january. Idk if I should go back to him to retest.
Please give me some guidance of what this could be and what specialist to see.
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
What you should do is just have an Internal medicine doctor just evaluate your WBC - and follow it - to see if it returns to the normal range.
And, the Internal medicine doctor might refer you to a Hematologist - for a 'Peripheral smear' to look at your blood under the microscope.
But, also, you might need a bone marrow biopsy if the WBC count drops further say to the 2.0 or less range.
I hope this helps
Please provide Excellent feedback
Thank you

So you're saying that a 3.4 wbc IS something to be concerned about?
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
No, actually this is not something I would be concerned about - but you should get a few more WBC blood tests just to check the 'direction' of the WBC level - more than likely this level is Transient and it will return to a normal level -
I hope this helps
Please provide Excellent - Satisfied feedback for helping you with additional questions.
Thank you
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 4 years ago.
What could cause a Transient?
Could this be HIV?
Will it be a waste of time to see an infectious disease specialist?
Any thoughts of what this could be?
My mono test came back positive but from the past, I had it in the past they said right now is neg
Lyme disease test neg
Any thoughts of what this could be? and what could a trasient with my wbc?
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
Actually this can be NORMAL - to be transient - there does NOT have to be a cause.
Try not to do so much assumig - you have a lot of anxiety already - so just stick to True testing - so get the HIV test - but if not positive, you do not have HIV.
Just see an Internal Medicine doctor for now - and Let the Internal Medicine doctor do the referring for you to any possible sub-specialist IF necessary.
I hope this helps
Just try to relax.
Please provide Excellent - Satisfied feedback for all the extra questions I have answered and a bonus is always welcome.

Okay well I tested at 5 months for HIV and it came back negative. I was feeling more relaxed until my gyn said it can sometimes take a while for HIV to show up and to test for 7 months. I have 2 more months of this hell. But I will see an int med specialist then. Thanks for your help.
Dr. Owen
replied 4 years ago.
Well given you were negative at 5 months it would be VERY unlikely to be anything but the same at 7 months.

Answer: Your refund should have been processed promptly. Not in six to eight week or six to eight months. The process should have taken about as long as it took Palace to remove the money from your credit card — that would be roughly six to eight seconds.
I'm willing to allow a little time for the credit card switch. Most travel companies have a policy that any refund must go back the same way it came. So in your case, they were trying to send it back to the credit card through which you made your purchase. But even the strictest policy must allow for credit card theft or loss. This can't be the first time Palace had to refund to another card.
You went to great lengths to get your refund, and you did all the right things, keeping a paper trail, always appealing to someone higher up — and still nothing happened. By the time I got involved, almost three months had passed.
As an additional measure, you might have contacted your credit card company and disputed the first charge. The emails from Palace promising a refund might have been sufficient to push through a refund.
I contacted Palace Resorts on your behalf. It credited your card immediately.
As a postscript, Palace Resorts no longer owns the property you stayed in.

YOUNGSTOWN - For people who think it is fair to get an hour back for every hour donated to one's community, the Mahoning Valley ShareFest is for them.
Held on Saturday at First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown, the inaugural ShareFest was a chance for Time Bank Mahoning Watershed, the coordinators of the event, to put their core belief on display: Everyone has something to offer.
The concept behind the Time Bank Mahoning Watershed is that sharing one hour of time to help a member of the community should be rewarded with an hour of help from someone else.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Colin Harris
Derrick Wray of Blazing Entertainment addresses those in attendance on Saturday at the first annual Time Bank Mahoning Watershed "ShareFest" event, held at First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown.
They're called "time credits," and they are the cornerstone of what Time Bank CEO Tony Budak calls "the new sharing economy."
"We are not a barter organization because we really believe in forming connections and 'paying it forward' more so than just exchanging services," Budak said.
"We believe that every person is an asset, and every human being has something to contribute."
Saturday's event was one of many across the nation, and showcased local organizations and projects from across the region. Groups like the Niles Innovation Center, the Youngstown Warren Inventors Association and Youngstown Inner City Garden were all present to offer their services to current and interested future members of the time bank.
After retiring from Delphi Packard Automotive in 2004, the Mahoning Watershed became Budak's pet project.
A local chapter of a nationwide pay-it-forward program that prefers a favor-based system to cash, time credits are earned by doing things like helping to fix someone's car, watching someone's children or planning a party. Those "credits" can then be spent on services from other members of the organization.
Budak said there are about 118 people registered in the time bank, offering services from mowing lawns and sewing clothing to more artistic feats like giving musical instrument lessons.
For the time bank to be more than a notion, Budak and his collaborators need participants to find what they have to offer.
"My mother used to say that we should 'bloom where we're planted', which is to say that they should work with the things they're good at," Budak said. "We all have something we can contribute to the community, and community is built upon knowing each other, finding inspiration and building a sense of belonging."

Hundreds of people jostled for a handshake or a photograph with the governor who stopped on the promenade as part of his tour of the coastal towns this weekend.
Christie met with the owners of local businesses, including Sam Spera, the 84-year-old owner of Sam's Pizza Palace, which has been a boardwalk institution since 1957.
"He's a good man," Spera said of Christie. And Christie's visit coincided with what Spera called a "very good weekend." A line of hungry customers waited outside the pizza parlor.
Christie also took a ride on a tram car with local officials, sitting in the front with Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano.
Troiano said the weekend was going well, though the weather wasn't great.
"It's not a beach day today so everyone is on the boardwalk," he said.
That included Bob and Joyce Longo of Atco.
The couple said their bike ride on Saturday morning was spoiled by the strong wind.
But they decided to take a walk on the boardwalk and the sun started to shine in the late afternoon. As they both enjoyed Kohrs ice cream cones, 56-year-old Bob Longo said he found out Christie was stopping by.
"This made my day," he said. "This made my weekend."

Defendants who are placed on deferred prosecution (DP) are expected to comply with all of the conditions and perform ALL of the terms of the order placing them on DP. Failure of a defendant to so comply may, and in some cases shall, cause the DP to be terminated and the defendant to be convicted of and sentenced for the offense for which the defendant has been granted the DP.
Upon the receipt of information from a reliable source (including, but not limited to, treatment agency, law enforcement, probation clerk, city attorney) that the defendant has violated the terms of the DP order, the defendant will be notified by the Court Clerk via a notice sent to the last address recorded in the court file that a hearing will be held to determine the validity of veracity of the alleged violation. The City Attorney and the defendant's attorney of record will also receive notice of the hearing. The defendant has the right to be represented by counsel at the hearing at public expense if eligible.
If the defendant appears at the time scheduled, the hearing will proceed to determine if the defendant has failed to comply with the terms of the order. At the hearing, hearsay information in the form of written reports from the treatment agency approved by the court, the probation clerk, police reports of new arrests or incidents or any other credible source may be considered. The defendant may present evidence.
If after the hearing the facts support the claim that the defendant has failed to comply with the DP order, the DP will be terminated, or in certain cases continued, as follows:
[1] Examples: a first relapse and no resulting violation of law; the first report of missed and unexcused treatment sessions not to exceed four sessions in Phase I, two sessions in Phase II or one session in Phase III; eight or fewer missed 12-step meetings in the two years of the order.
[2] Examples: a second relapse not resulting in a new law violation; the first relapse resulting in a new law violation; missing and unexcused for more than four treatment sessions in Phase I, more than two in Phase II and more than one in Phase III; missing more than eight 12-step meetings in the two years of the order; failure to maintain auto insurance if authorized by the court to drive during the two years of the order.

I'm always up for becoming more aware, especially when it comes to food so thanks for the review. It never fails to surprise me how low the food industry can go to "please" the public. They are ruining everyone's palates! If only there could be a revolution where everyone at once decided to start cooking healthier, fresher, REALER meals then maybe people would begin to appreciate how delicious fruits and veggies really are.
I bought this book and added it to my shelf lineup of "things to read sometimes maybe when I get around to it."
It just moved up :D
Thanks Dan! Of course as bloggers we LIVE for comments letting us know we helped or inspired someone; so let me know how you go with the lamb.
Okay I, {as always} LOVED this post! I really love your objective critique of the book and it made me far more likely to listen to what you had to say than if you'd just bought into it wholly, dismissing it's quirks. I honestly couldn't have agreed more {without having read the book myself} with your thoughts on the subject!
And I love your description of the borderline erotic parts, hilarious. Reminds me of the way my husband rolls his eyes any time I watch Nigella Lawson, since he thinks she is always borderline erotic with her food!
Anyway, this was fantastic and I really want to read the book myself now!
Joanne, I agree with you... And the issue of how food companies give the public what they "want" is a good subject to pursue in future posts. It's worth asking why, for example, Doritos sell so well. And is it wrong to sell them if there is demand for them? People are going to have to want to choose real foods, rather than simply going for the hyperpalatable foods that food companies manufacture for us.
Alyoops, happy to hear I gave you a push--feel free to share your thoughts via email or via comments on this post once you've read it.
HG: It was funny but I was getting borderline uncomfortable in the "erotic" section of the book...! I felt both hungry and a little bit sheepish reading that section, strangely enough. But he used those passages really effectively to set up his arguments, so they ultimately added to (and didn't detract meaningfully from) the book. Glad you enjoyed the post, and thanks so much for the great feedback.
I will have to check this out. I'm currently enjoying a similarly themed book called Mindless Eating that explains why we over eat from a different angle - environmental cues and industry decisions like packaging, lighting, food names, etc. Fascinating!
Hi Holly, yep, Brian Wansink's book. I addressed some of his ideas in a post here at Casual Kitchen.
It can be mortifying to find out how our minds can play tricks on us, can't it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Such an important topic. Thank you for helping to make people more aware of what they are eating!
Great review. This book is in my TBR pile, and it just moved up the list.
Like many people, I have had a weight issue. I have tried to follow Michael Pollan's mantra of "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants" and it is amazing how I feel so much better and have easily lost over 25 lbs in the past few months.
Thanks TTG, I really appreciate the positive vibes.
Fiona, congrats big time on your weight loss, that is really impressive. Let me know what you think of the book once you finish it.
I am reading this now and so far so good. Thanks for the tip!
Great to hear Jim! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it once you've finished.

FAU Hosts Global Education
BOCA RATON, FL (May 11, 2010) – Florida Atlantic University's College of Education recently hosted more than 100 educators, administrators and students at its inaugural Global Education Symposium at the Renaissance Hotel in Boca Raton. The symposium focused on the best practice approaches and methods for educating citizens in a diverse world.
Dr. James Banks, founding director of the Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Washington in Seattle, was the event's keynote speaker and ignited the crowd with his call to "stay the course" in work to promote social justice.
"Education shall enable all persons to participate effectively in a free society, promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations and all racial, ethnic or religious groups," said Banks, the Kerry and Linda Killinger Endowed Chair in Diversity Studies at the University of Washington.
A keynote response by Dr. Margarita Pinkos, executive director of multicultural education for the Palm Beach County Public School District, put into perspective the creative global educational practices being employed in local school districts. Dr. Valerie Bristor, dean of FAU's College of Education, provided the welcome.
Breakout sessions led by some of Florida's most respected voices explored educational strategies for Haitians who came to Florida following the earthquake, recent events associated with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the global initiative called "Education for All," FAU's international partnerships and school-level efforts to internationalize the curriculum.
About Florida Atlantic University:
Florida Atlantic University opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University serves more than 28,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses and sites. Building on its rich tradition as a teaching university, with a world-class faculty, FAU hosts 10 colleges: College of Architecture, Urban & Public Affairs, Dorothy F.

Re: "U.S. 190 work on drawing board," Page B3, Jully 22.
I am thrilled that city leaders are trying to help the traffic problems. (Even though they will create two bottlenecks by not widening the two overpasses.)
The area of Highway 190 from the Bogue Falaya River to Highway 25 is the worst! Now is the time to add four additional lanes. (Three in each direction, plus a median.) The right-of-way is there, waiting for improvement.
The distance appears to be a little shorter than the planned widening. Let's spend our resources to do the most good.

A Wall Street bigwig is currently claiming that driverless cars could put Progressive (NYSE: PGR ) out of business. In fact, his firm is betting money on the demise of the entire auto-insurance industry. Supposedly, safer, driverless cars will eliminate accidents and the need for insurance. After considering the argument and looking at some data, I don't think betting against Progressive based on driverless cars is a very solid thesis.
Steve Kuhn: "Don't Go With the Flo"
Steve Kuhn of Pine River Capital Management recently appeared on Bloomberg TV to pitch his short case against Progressive, cleverly titled "Don't Go With the Flo." As a preamble, he admitted Progressive is an innovative, well-managed company, but expensive compared with the insurance industry. Then he got to the meat of his thesis: Driverless cars are going to put the entire auto-insurance industry out of business. He expects that by 2025, driverless cars will be safer than human drivers, and until then, automated safety measures will incrementally reduce traffic accidents.
Fewer accidents will result in lower total premiums, greatly shrinking the auto-insurance market. And when cars become fully driverless, the liability for accidents with reside with the automaker, not the individual driver. Automakers will use their larger bargaining power to shrink whatever profits remain for auto insurers. It seems pretty far-fetched, but Kuhn claimed that his firm, a $14 billion hedge fund, is betting money on this thesis.
My policy: "Go With the Flo"
I wasn't convinced. To start, the development of driverless cars is going to proceed slower than Kuhn projects -- widespread adoption by 2025 seems very unlikely. Secondly, he makes some pretty broad assumptions about auto insurance. He assumes that if cars are safer, insurance premiums will be lower. But if you look at the data, that's not the case.
Cars have been getting safer for years, yet insurance premiums continue to grow. Between 1999 and 2012, total traffic deaths decreased 20% and fatalities per mile driven have decreased 27%. Yet over the same period, total liability premiums have increased 48% and total collision/comprehensive premiums have increased 22%. In other words, despite major, continual improvements in automobile safety, total insurance premiums have increased as cars on the road, drivers, miles driven, car prices, and accident liability have combined to push up the total market for car insurance.
I'm happy that cars are getting safer every year, but I don't expect that the need for car insurance will ever be eliminated. There will always be accidents, and I'm sure that automakers will resist the notion of insuring every car they put on the road. Aside from the capital requirements, they don't have the expertise. To fill the need for auto insurance, companies like Progressive will continue to exist, regardless of the awesome innovations in driverless cars.
Foolish takeaway
While I'm utterly unconvinced by Kuhn's argument, I'll give him credit for creativity. It's definitely more interesting that the usual stuff coming out of Wall Street investors. I'm just surprised that Kuhn, a Goldman Sachs alum, would put money on it. Then again, maybe I'm too skeptical. Or maybe I'm too gullible and Kuhn is playing an elaborate practical joke and I fell for it.

It's been close to 10 years since Berkeley County Chief Magistrate Ava Bryant Ayers implemented a new way to collect funds owed by convicts: delinquent debtors were told that if they do not pay their court fines and fees, the money would come out of their state income tax refund.
According to Ayers, who works with the S.C. Department of Revenue to collect funds for Berkeley County, the system works so well that she would like to see it started on a federal level.
The magistrate is puzzled that the system has not become a federal law. In the past there has been bipartisan support for a federal bill of this sort, but it has failed to become a law each time.
Ayers said the federal government already has programs in place to collect unpaid child support and other debts, so it should be easy to add a federal tax refund intercept program similar to the one she uses.
As chief magistrate, Ayers functions as a judge and an administrator. She makes it clear her comments regarding the debt setoff program are strictly from an administrative standpoint, not judicial.
Ayers brought the idea of a debt setoff program to Berkeley County Council in 2003. By August of that year the initial program was in place. Ayers and her part-time assistant began sending out letters to debtors and received $15,000 in the first two weeks, she said.
While there is no exact figure for how much has been collected by Berkeley County in the past 10 years, Ayers says it is at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Between Jan. 1 and March 7 of this year $41,057 has been garnished by the Berkeley County debt setoff, according to data presented by Ayers.
Itemized individual payments received this year have ranged anywhere from $33 to more than $7,000.
"Regular letters is where we get most of our money," she said. "When I send out those letters the phones start ringing off the hook."
Nearly 6,000 letters have been sent this year. For a letter to be sent that means debtors have ignored their bond warrant and have had their driver's license suspended.
"We are only ever going to garnish your taxes after you've been given the opportunity to pay off your debt," she said.
One problem with only having this system in place locally is if a debtor moves to a different state SCDOR can no longer collected the debt, according to Ayers.
With a federal program debtors would have to pay fines out of their federal tax returns – which are usually larger – and could not escape the debt setoff by moving to another state, according to Ayers.
"Not all counties have this," she said. "We built a database from the ground up. This has been a blessing. It is work, but it's well worth it when you see what we collect."
If a debt is greater than the state tax return the debt will be taken out of the tax return each year until it is paid off.
People give Ayers countless excuses for not paying up … such as they forgot, ignored the debt, or thought that after years it had been written off, which never happens, she said.
"We normally give people scheduled time payments," she said. "There is ample opportunity to pay this. You have a chance for due process. It's when you ignore everything that you go into debt setoff."
Despite the effectiveness of the debt setoff system, there is still money that the county will never receive.
The system benefits the county and the defendant, Ayers said. "A lot of people are just glad it's paid off," she said. "No one has to be arrested. It doesn't tie up law enforcement. This is common sense business 101 to me. It's practical and it works."
Ayers said she has discussed the program with Senators Paul Campbell and Larry Grooms, who have given their support. She said all the members of local government and other citizens she's spoken to about debt setoff would welcome passing a federal law that does the same as the system in place for Berkeley County.
