These two holiday properties form part of Hopebrook Farm, a non-working farm which dates back to 1745. Sitting in 5 acres within the grounds of the owner's home, both properties have been stylishly furnished with great attention to detail for guests' comfort.

Stayed here for a 3 night city break - it was in the mid ranger to cheaper end of the price spectrum and that is what Balmes is. Great location in the Eixample area of Barcelona, surrounded by nice restaurants. It is two blocks to the Rambla de Catalunya or three to the Passeig de Gracia both of which are main shopping streets which will take you down to Place de Catalunya and La Rambla. It is a 10 minute brisk walk or 20 minute gentle stroll to the main tourist area. It is well worth exploring some of the smaller roads around the hotel if you are looking for restaurants or cafes.
The hotel itself is generally good - we had a courtyard room on the second floor which was ok, nice courtyard and bathroom. The hotel is generally very tranquil and you wouldn't know that you were staying in a city. There is one computer in the lobby area with free intenet access which was useful. Generally a nice hotel and brilliantly positioned for exploring Barcelona.
We stayed at the Balmes Hotel for 4 days in January. Great location, less than 10 mins from main street and Metro. Only two stops on tram to Las Ramblas.
Hotel very comfortable, adequate continental breakfast. Reception staff very helpful. Given a complimentary bottle of wine on New Years Day, a nice gesture.
Would certainly return and recommend to friends.

Met a guy that hauls cars/trailers/boats etc., said he'd run me under his authority, find me loads, and haul to canada which is the more money jobs. i have a few things to do with my truck. I also have a good job but unsure of where it is going. just need some opinions on if it is a good idea doing this, and why or why not. Thanks?

Fluorescence Microscopy Is Superior to Polarized Microscopy for Detecting Amyloid Deposits in Congo Red–Stained Trephine Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimens
The classic gold standard for detecting amyloid deposits is Congo red–stained bright field and polarized microscopy (CRPM). A prior study showed that Congo red fluorescence (CRF) microscopy had increased sensitivity compared with traditional CRPM when analyzing fat pad specimens. The purpose of the current study was to determine the sensitivity of CRF for evaluating Congo red–stained bone marrow biopsy specimens, and to compare these results with those of CRPM. We compared the CRPM and the CRF analyses of 33 trephine bone marrow biopsy specimens with clinical or morphologic suspicion of amyloid deposits. These results were verified against immunohistochemical staining with anti–amyloid P antibody. CRF achieved 100% sensitivity, and CRPM achieved 75% sensitivity. Both groups showed 100% specificity compared with amyloid P immunohistochemical staining. The results show that CRF is a sensitive method to analyze trephine bone marrow biopsy specimens for amyloid deposits.
- Plasma cell dyscrasia
- Trephine bone marrow biopsy
- Amyloid
- Congo red
- Fluorescence microscopy
- Polarized microscopy
- Immunohistochemistry
Amyloid is an extracellular proteinaceous deposit that results from many different precursor proteins. Regardless of the precursor protein, all amyloid is derived from 3 components: proteoglycans, amyloid P, and fibrillary proteins.1 Amyloid light chain amyloidosis is often associated with a plasma cell dyscrasia. Patients with amyloid light chain amyloidosis typically exhibit symptoms such as nephrotic range proteinuria, congestive heart failure secondary to restrictive cardiomyopathy, idiopathic hepatomegaly, and idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.
Amyloidosis is diagnosed by detecting amyloid deposits on histologic sections. Both bone marrow biopsy and subcutaneous fat pad biopsy can be used to evaluate for amyloidosis. However, of the 2, only bone marrow biopsy has the potential to reveal both the amyloid deposits and a potential underlying plasma cell dyscrasia.2 A review of the literature found that amyloid is present in 1.4% of patients diagnosed with either multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma who are without clinical symptoms of amyloid light chain amyloidosis, and in 40.5% of bone marrow biopsies in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma.3,4
The gold standard for amyloid deposit diagnosis is detecting green birefringence via polarization.5 However, numerous studies have shown that alkaline Congo red stained–sections analyzed with polarized light microscopy (CRPM) can result in false-negative results, especially in the presence of smaller quantities of amyloid.6
The study by Giorgadze et al1 demonstrated that in abdominal fat pad needle aspiration biopsies, Congo red fluorescence (CRF) had superior sensitivity compared with CRPM. Seventy-eight biopsy specimens were analyzed, of which 12 (15.4%) were found to contain amyloid when CRPM was used. Seventy-four of these cases were reclassified using CRF, and 29 (39.2%) were found to contain amyloid. Colocalization of CRF and amyloid P immunohistochemical staining confirmed the presence of amyloid in the areas that were seen under fluorescence, but did not show green birefringence with polarization.1
Our study determines the sensitivity of CRF for detecting amyloid in bone marrow biopsy specimens, and compares the sensitivity of CRF with that of CRPM. Thirty-three trephine bone marrow biopsy specimens from patients with a diagnosis of plasma cell dyscrasia or with suspicion of plasma cell dyscrasia were retrospectively analyzed via CRF after prior analysis via CRPM. As in the study of Giorgadze et al,1 the results were verified against immunohistochemical staining with anti–amyloid P antibody.
Materials and Methods
With institutional review board approval, this retrospective study reviewed 33 trephine bone marrow biopsy specimens with suspicion for amyloidosis from the archives of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ. Each of these cases had either a clinically suspected or a confirmed diagnosis of plasma cell dyscrasia.
Bone marrow processing was performed using formalin fixation, rapid decalcification in 14% hydrochloric acid (1.5 hours), and routine histologic processing. Congo red staining (Ventana Medical System, Tucson, AZ) was performed using the Ventana Nexus Special Stainer. All sections were 8-μm thick, and examined under light, polarized, and fluorescence microscopy with an Olympus microscope (Olympus America, Center Valley, PA). The U-POT drop-in polarizer from Olympus was used for polarization, and the blue excitation filter for fluorescein isothiocyanate was used for fluorescence.
Amyloid P immunohistochemical staining (mouse monoclonal, NCL-AMP, Novocastra Laboratories, Buffalo Grove, IL) was performed using the Ventana Benchmark XT.
Thirty-three cases were examined. Four cases that were initially classified as negative (cases 1, 9, 11, and 26) via CRPM were found to contain amyloid deposits in the paracortical soft tissue and/or the marrow space on examination with CRF Image 1. In addition, 3 cases (cases 14, 15, and 22) that were described as focally positive in the paracortical soft tissue with CRPM were discovered to be positive in the paracortical soft tissue and the marrow on examination with CRF. The other 26 diagnoses were not altered on CRF examination. The results are delineated in Table 1.
The diagnoses rendered were verified by means of amyloid P immunohistochemical staining. CRF achieved 100% sensitivity, and CRPM achieved 75% sensitivity.
Follow-up of the 4 reclassified cases reveals that 2 of them required additional invasive procedures to obtain a diagnosis of amyloidosis. Case 1 required an abdominal fat pad aspiration, and case 11 needed an additional bone marrow biopsy.
The use of Congo red in pathology laboratories has been in a state of refinement since its conception.5,7-9 Different methods have been used to improve the sensitivity of Congo red to detect amyloid. Linke6 compared the sensitivity of 3 methods used to analyze alkaline Congo red–stained sections: CRPM, CRPM and immunohistochemistry using a battery of antibodies against amyloid (CRPM-IHC), and CRF. That study used samples from the kidney, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, skin, synovium, skeletal muscle, pancreas, and pituitary gland. All 3 methods were negative for amyloid when no amyloid was present (57 cases), and positive for amyloid when large amounts of amyloid were present (126 cases). However, when only small amounts of amyloid were present (211 cases) the sensitivity of the 3 methods varied. CRF was positive in 172 cases, CRPM-IHC was positive in 158 cases, and CRPM was positive in 84 cases. Thus, CRF achieved a better sensitivity.6
Our study examined the sensitivities of CRF and CRPM for detecting amyloid deposits in trephine bone marrow biopsy specimens. The literature reports that CRPM has approximately a 50% sensitivity.2,10 No reported sensitivity could be found for CRF. Our study found the sensitivity of CRPM to be 75%, and the sensitivity of CRF to be 100%. The improved sensitivity of CRF found the 4 false-negative results previously seen with CRPM.
In our study, the specificity of both CRPM and CRF were 100%. We were unable to find a report in the literature on the specificity of CRPM or CRF to detect amyloid deposits in bone marrow biopsy specimens. However, CRPM has been reported to have a specificity of 100% for detecting amyloid in subcutaneous fat aspirations.1,11 The clinical importance of this finding is that the high sensitivity and specificity of CRF would prevent patients from undergoing additional procedures to diagnose amyloidosis, as seen in several patients in our study.
Immunohistochemistry has several disadvantages as an amyloid screening test. The study by Linke6 demonstrated that CRF had a greater sensitivity than CRPM-IHC. It has been hypothesized that tissue surrounding the amyloid may prevent the passage of antibodies but allow the passage of the Congo red stain.6 In addition, the specificity of immunohistochemical staining for amyloid is questionable because the precursor proteins that form amyloid are normal constituents of the body. Thus, to guarantee specificity, immunohistochemistry requires colocalization with Congo red. In our study, both immunohistochemistry and CRF had the same sensitivity and specificity.5
CRF has several benefits. It is easy to perform because bright field, polarized, and fluorescent microscopies can be performed using the same microscope.1 As demonstrated in Image 1, it is our opinion that CRF is easier to interpret than CRPM when diagnosing amyloidosis. In addition, CRF has a high sensitivity, an important property for a screening test. This leads to early diagnosis, while amyloid deposits are still small. This is important for 2 reasons. First, it prevents additional biopsies to make the diagnosis of amyloidosis. Second, the body has a limited ability to clear existing amyloid deposits.2 Thus, once the diagnosis of amyloidosis is made, the underlying disease is sought and treatment is started. The first step in determining the underlying disease is classifying the precursor protein creating the amyloid deposit.5 More than 20 possible precursor proteins are known to form amyloid deposits.1 The specific precursor protein is determined with immunohistochemical stains and mass spectrometry.12 The treatment for amyloidosis varies, depending on whether it is localized or systemic and on the specific precursor protein/underlying disease.1

Mexican oil producer Pemex gets $1.75 billion with a groundbreaking perpetual bond that draws mainly Asian investors.
Mexico's anemic banking industry is back in shape and ready to grow, possibly at surprising rates. One bank in particular is especially well positioned: BBVA Bancomer.
Sane macroeconomic policies and government planning have boosted real estate investment in Mexico. Other countries should follow its lead.
Guillermo Babatz wants to revolutionize Mexico's mortgage industry and reshape the country's capital markets, too.
Mario Gabriel Budebo's job at the head of Mexico's pension fund regulatory agency has him advocating for a single, but powerful, constituency: organized labor.
Mexico's director of public credit, responsible for managing the country's debt issuance, embodies Mexico's culture of continuity in economic policy.
Vicente Fox promised radical reforms to restructure the economy - then failed to deliver. Despite political disarray, Mexico's financial system keeps growing.
Citigoup is the best investment bank and Cleary, Gottlieb is the best law firm serving Latin America. Mexico is the best sovereign issuer.
Mexico carried out a landmark global-for-global bond exchange in April. Andrés Conesa, head of public credit, says the deal saved money, improved investor relations and will help the sovereign price future bond issues more efficiently.
After seven years of being restricted to investing in Mexican bonds, the country's pension funds can now put their assets into equities and foreign securities.
Politicians again are demanding that Mexico's banks lend more. As the pressure mounts, consumer finance companies are steam-rolling into the market.
América Móvil waited years to issue its first international bond. When the Mexican cellphone company finally went to the market, plenty of investors wanted a piece of the action.
Mexico's off-balance sheet financing scheme got the massive El Cajón dam project underway.
Demand from institutional investors in Mexico's bond market outstrips supply. There are just not enough high-quality bonds around, but this could be changing.
Mexico sold the largest-ever bond in British pounds placed by an emerging market issuer, locking in low prices in a demanding market that few Latin American issuers can access on a regular basis.
Taking advantage of strong domestic demand for peso-denominated paper, Mexico's national oil company launched the country's largest-ever peso bond and got bargain pricing.
Mexico's nascent private equity industry is picking up as investors identify promising opportunities. All they need now is to find an exit.

David Hoidal is resigning as chief executive officer of UAB Health System effective Jan. 4 to return home to the Midwest and help care for aging parents.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham has not yet named an interim head of the health enterprise, which includes 908-bed UAB Hospital, the Kirklin Clinic, Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital, Viva Health, UAB Highlands, Health Services Foundation, Medical West in Bessemer and Montgomery Baptist hospitals.
Hoidal came to UAB in 2000 to run the Kirklin Clinic, the private practice of more than 700 UAB physicians, and to oversee the Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital. He became chief operating officer of the entire health system in 2002. The COO position was created for him and was eliminated once Hoidal became CEO in mid-2004.
"While my wife and I have enjoyed our many years in Alabama, our roots remain in the Midwest," Hoidal said in a written statement. "At this point in our lives our priority is to spend more time with family, particularly our aging parents. We realize that not everyone has that opportunity, and we are extremely grateful to have that option."
Hoidal is a native of South Dakota, where his parents still live. He is the health system's third CEO. The system was formed in 1996 as a private, nonprofit entity to bring under one umbrella all of UAB's health services. It employs more than 10,000 people.
Hoidal, 52, hasn't disclosed his next professional step.
Carol Z. Garrison, president of UAB, said the university is working on a transition plan.
"Our health system is stronger than ever, and we have a superb executive team to ensure its continued success," she said in the university's statement.
Hoidal was a recruit of David Fine, who was CEO of the health system from September 1999 until May 2004. Hoidal came to UAB from New Orleans where he ran operations at Tulane University Hospital. Before that, Hoidal had risen fast in the HCA hospital chain, turning around troubled psychiatric hospitals.
Hoidal has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Nebraska and a master's in health administration from the University of Missouri.

DEFINITION of 'Hong Kong Interbank Offer Rate - HIBOR'
An interest rate stated in Hong Kong dollars on the lending and borrowing between banks in the Hong Kong interbank market. The terms of the deposits vary from overnight to one year. The U.K. version, the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), is similar to the HIBOR. More than anything else, the HIBOR is a reference rate for lenders and borrowers that participate directly or indirectly in the Asian economy.
BREAKING DOWN 'Hong Kong Interbank Offer Rate - HIBOR'
The interbank market is used by banks for transferring funds and currency and managing liquidity. If a bank is nearing the point at which withdrawals are depleting short-term cash reserves, that bank will go into the Hong Kong interbank market and borrow money at the HIBOR.
For example, an interest rate swap involving two counterparties with good credit ratings, both of which have bonds issued in Hong Kong dollars, will likely be quoted in HIBOR plus a given percentage.

SAWF on Signing With Perc & Riot Police in Athens
Reported by
News Editor
Submitted 02-03-12 10:41
"Sure I've been to some demonstrations and every time it was the police who were the main problem. The most frightening part of the experience is when you find yourself inhaling asphyxiating gas while cops are throwing stones and flash bombs into the crowd from really close up."
Three years after he caught the attention of London industrial techno type
by sending him a couple of tracks in a random email, Greek producer
has gone on to become one of Perctrax main acts, releasing several EPs and last year's album Flaws.
Critically revered (
Resident Advisor's chief Todd Burns
praised him for delivering '
an unholy union of industrial techno and funky disco'
) he nevertheless remains in Athens despite the country's near terminal economic collapse. But did he say Greek COPS throw stones at demonstrators . . .?
"Oh yes, that's a usual tactic they use here," he confirms, "The last time it happened I saw quite a few people of all ages standing right next to me getting badly injured."
And what was it like inhaling tear gas?
"It feels like shit like trying to breathe when they fire the gas, and lots of people pass out
," he replies.
"You also can't run away because they usually drop the canisters right into the middle of the crowd so it's total chaos. But I don't want to make too big a deal of it,"
he stresses, "
that's about what a million other people have experienced in the last couple of years in Athens
. . ."
Despite remaining impressively sanguine about the situation, he has no illusions about the crisis Greece is facing.
"I don't wanna' be melodramatic about it but I'll just say that the great majority of people who are my age are unemployed and that situation doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon," he notes.
"A lot of people are going back to the countryside to their families in order to have a low cost of living and I think that trend will continue. The general feeling is that things are gonna' get much worse. I don't think that there's anyone is hoping for a fast recovery."
Skrufff (Jonty Skrufff): How did you first connect with Perc and Perctrax three years ago?
Sawf: "I sent a mail to Ali (Perc) with some tracks of mine and after he tested them on tour he told me he wanted to release them. He did that then two years later he asked me if we could compile an album with tracks written during a 6 months period and I agreed."
Skrufff: You're playing in London, Berlin and Geneva in the next few months; how much do you plan to stay in Athens long term?
Sawf: "well there's nothing about Athens that's so exciting nowadays music wise so a relocation definitely seems interesting. But it's not in my immediate plans though."
Skrufff: How much anger is there amongst you and your friends, towards Greek politicians and Germans?
Sawf: "Obviously there's anger against the politicians from the majority of the people not only from those people from my age group. And people hate German politicians as much as they hate Greek ones. The hate is also growing as the crisis worsens."
Skrufff: What would you like to see happen to improve solve the crisis?
Sawf: "I don't know and I don't really care, to be honest, because whatever the solution is, it should need a zillion years in order to be accomplished. If solving the crisis means returning Greece to how it was before the crisis hit, well that doesn't seem appealing to me at all. The crisis isn't just financial it's also about the corruption that exists here and it will take a few decades to make that extinct. But it's not as though there are any serious steps being taken to deal with that anyway."
Skrufff: How much has your music making been affected by the situation?
Sawf: "I was never a part of the Athens club scene so really it's had no affect on me personally. The club scene was effectively already dead a couple of years before the crisis hit anyway, so the economic situation hasn't made that difference in that sense. Right now there are some promoters introducing interesting guests that haven't visited Athens before but it's mostly house or bass music. Exciting club nights are pretty rare."

Mary Kenny: Doris Lessing was certainly a ground-breaking writer -- but was she a failure as a mother?
Published 01/12/2013 | 01:00
There are many reasons to praise that remarkable writer, Doris Lessing, who died recently, aged 94 -- who, by the way, smoked heavily for most of her long life. She won the Nobel Prize for literature, and yet she left school at the age of 14 -- and she always remained proud about that. She wrote a book which was considered 'a bible for feminists' -- 'The Golden Notebook' and she had also been a passionate and committed communist: but she never conformed to any form of political correctness.
Even as a communist, Doris Lessing deplored the fact that, as she wrote in an autobiography: "Stalin's deliberate mass murders are never condemned as Hitler's are, although Stalin's crimes are much more, both in number and in variety." She endorsed feminism but regretted that dogmatic views on "equality", and fears about sexual harassment, had put an end to, or at least greatly diminished, the kind of flirtation that she had much enjoyed as a young woman, back in the 1940s and '50s. She remained on the left, but also always remained pro-Israeli.
Her independence of mind was consistent: offered a Damehood of the British Empire, she rejected it on the grounds that "there is no British Empire", and if there was, she wouldn't approve of it -- she had grown up in what was then southern Rhodesia.
Pleadings that such distinguished personages as Dame Judi Dench and Dame Helen Mirren had not spurned the honour would have cut no ice with Doris: she thought "Dame" was a pantomime title.
Doris Lessing (born Doris Tayler) married her first husband when she was barely 20, and left him after five years and two children. Her second husband was Gottfried Lessing, a refugee from Hitler's Germany and an ardent "one hundred and fifty per cent" Communist.
They had a son, Peter, but she left her second husband too when she chose instead to travel from Africa to live in a seedy bedsitter in London.
She brought the manuscript of her first book and her baby Peter, with her but she left the children of her first marriage behind.
This was a radical thing to do in 1950 -- although subsequently "the comrades" in the communist movement rallied round her, as her situation was seen as a rebuff of "bourgeois" values.
But if Doris Lessing was a ground-breaking writer -- her first book, The Grass is Singing was the first modern book to allude to rape or to menstruation -- was she a failure as a mother?
She certainly regarded herself as a failure as a wife, and looked back on her marriages with dismay: "I do not think marriage is one of my talents."
The daughter and son of her first marriage were taught to regard her as a dreadful person and an abandoning mother, and never allowed to communicate with her.
As for the baby she had brought to England, Peter, she certainly did all she could for him, and yet she came to reflect, in old age, that "women who have brought up a son without a father will know how difficult it is".
Peter longed for a father- figure as he was growing up. His own father, Gottfried, returned to East Germany and dropped all connection with his son for political reasons: it was considered a black mark, in the GDR, to have any contact with family or friends in "the West".
If Doris Lessing was a great feminist icon, her life is also a reminder that not only is there no such thing as "having it all", but that in order to have what you choose, or want, you must be ready to make sacrifices.
When she first arrived in London, she had virtually no money and tried, for a while, to support herself doing secretarial work. She was willing to give up the chance of a comfortable life, supported by her parents, in what was then southern Rhodesia, because she yearned for the independence of an artist's life in down-at-heel bedsitters (and she couldn't stand the "provincialism" of what was then Rhodesia).
She was also willing to give up the children of her first marriage so as to fulfil her own identity. She left her second husband, too, because he was repressing her creative ambitions: he scoffed at her writing, and called it a "bourgeois indulgence" which was beneath the standards of a wholehearted communist.
But Doris Lessing forged an independent life for herself, chose lovers instead of further marriages, and in her work, prospered -- producing a wide range of writing, including science fiction.
Her novel 'The Good Terrorist' brought a remarkable insight into the sometimes high ideals behind dreadful acts and 'The Fifth Child' is a frightening insight into a family's life disturbed by a bewilderingly disruptive offspring. Her short stories are wonderful, and she wrote plays -- it led her to a friendship with Siobhan McKenna, whom she liked a lot, but candidly criticised for being "an undisciplined drunk".
Doris Lessing put writing before everything, really: the love of her life walked out on her with the words: "You don't love me --you only care about your writing."
She denied it was true, but she debated, all through her life, whether an artist could be married and have children -- successfully. (Both her sons predeceased her; her daughter, who lives in South Africa, survived.)
Perhaps her most continuous attachment was her love of cats: those shrewd, independent felines who walk alone.

You know and love our Must-Read IT Blogs lists, but now, say hello to the nonprofit side.
The poster child for modern Internet privacy woes is probably Facebook, the king of social networks. The young company has been taken to task several times over its multiple privacy changes and faces a recently filed class-action lawsuit alleging privacy violations.
The proliferation and rise of the mobile-app economy, however, has ushered in a new crack in the user privacy wall.
Mobile applications are user-friendly silos that offer users a focused purpose and feature set. But they're also potential targets for privacy violations.
Because mobile apps are so personalized and live on a user's device, there can be a false sense of security. But, as with anything web-based, privacy is a relative concept.
Veracode put together some data on the user-privacy threats of mobile apps in an infographic. Some of the highlights from the visualization include:
