Towards the real application of rapid microbiological methods in developing countries
Issue 5 2013, Microbiology / RMMs / 22 October 2013 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC and Suzan Mohammed Ragheb, Department of Biotechnology, The Nile Company for Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries
Rapid microbiological methods (RMM) have gained popularity and acceptance within a number of industry sectors, including food and beverages, diagnostics, environmental, personal care and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, many firms have successfully validated and implemented RMMs for a wide variety of applications. However, many geographic areas around the world still have not benefited from the advantages that RMMs afford, most notably the time to result for critical microbiological analyses. This is particularly true for clinical diagnostics and the detection of foodborne pathogens in developing countries.
The Encyclopedia of Rapid Microbiological Methods: The new fourth volume discusses technologies, regulatory acceptance and validation case studies
Issue 3 2013, Microbiology / RMMs / 13 June 2013 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC and rapidmicromethods.com
This is the second paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that will appear in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2013. As the editor for the Encyclopedia of Rapid Microbiological Methods, I provide a summary of the latest volume, which was published earlier this year. New case studies, regulatory guidance and novel technologies are highlighted, and encourage our industry to adopt new ways of performing microbiology assays across a wide range of applications.
Hot topics in rapid methods: revisions to validation guidance and real-time environmental monitoring
Issue 6 2012, Microbiology / RMMs / 18 December 2012 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC
This is the sixth and final paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that have appeared in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2012. As many of you already know, I am keen on staying on top of recent developments in the world of rapid methods, and have used my own blog (http://blog.rapidmicromethods.com) to communicate technology advances and changes to regulatory and validation practices and expectations. In my final article of the year, I am providing an overview of two very interesting topics that have sparked additional discussions within the professional community: the proposed changes to USP's informational chapter on the validation of alternative microbiological methods and real-time environmental monitoring.
Revision to USP Chapter <1223>: Method validation is the process used to confirm that an analytical procedure employed for a specific test is reliable, reproducible and suitable for its intended purpose. All analytical methods need to be validated prior to their introduction into routine use, and this is especially true for novel technology platforms such as RMMs.
Because many RMM technologies consist of a combination of instrumentation, software, consumables and reagents, in addition to specific detection, quantitative or identification methodologies, it is important to develop a comprehensive and holistic approach to the validation process to ensure that the entire RMM system is suitable for its intended use.
Rapid micro methods and the next generation in ATP bioluminescence
Issue 5 2012, Microbiology / RMMs / 25 October 2012 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC and Noe Miyashita, Researcher, Hitachi Plant Technologies, Ltd
This is the fifth paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that will appear in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2012. As many of you know, I am always on the lookout for the next generation of rapid microbiological method (RMM) technologies and solutions. In this article, I have invited Noe Miyashita, a researcher from Hitachi Plant Technologies, to describe a novel ATP bioluminescence technology platform that she and her colleagues are currently working on. But in order to frame this discussion, it is appropriate to provide some background material on the fundamental basics of ATP bioluminescent methods.
ATP bioluminescence is the generation of light by a biological process, and is most recognised in the tails of the American firefly Photinus pyralis. First discovered in 1947 by William McElroy, he described the ATP bioluminescence reaction in which ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is enzymatically consumed to produce light. Specifically, in the presence of the substrate luciferin, the enzyme luciferase will use the energy from ATP to oxidise luciferin and release photons (light at a wavelength of 562 nanometres). The photons can then be detected and measured by a luminometer equipped with a photomultiplier tube. Figure 1 provides an illustration of this chemical reaction.

Issue 4 2012, Microbiology / RMMs / 3 September 2012 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC
This is the fourth paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that will appear in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2012. Over the past few years, a number of professional meetings have focused on strategies and case studies for the validation and application of rapid microbiological methods (RMM). If you were able to attend one of these meetings, you probably found it encouraging and worthwhile listening to and speaking with end-users, regulators and vendors of the technologies. This year and next are no exception; scheduled conferences and training sessions within Europe and the US will provide the industry with a comprehensive overview and guidance on how to successfully implement RMMs. To give you a feel for what's in store, this edition of our RMM series will highlight upcoming PDA and ECA RMM sessions. In addition, the last section will provide more information about the overall October 2012 PDA Global Conference on Pharmaceutical Microbiology, of which a number of RMM presentations will be delivered.
European Compliance Academy (ECA) Annual RMM Conference (December 2012):
This two-day conference offers you a unique opportunity to evaluate the new developments in RMM systems, to extend the current experi – ences in validation, as well as implementation of these systems within the pharmaceutical industry. Attendees will also learn about the expectations of the regulatory authorities and new developments with regard to regulatory requirements.
Rapid sterility testing and the impact of recent changes to the US Code of Federal Regulations
Issue 3 2012, Microbiology / RMMs / 10 July 2012 / Michael J. Miller, President, Microbiology Consultants, LLC
This is the third paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that will appear in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2012. Rapid sterility testing is one of a number of applications that novel microbiological technologies afford the pharmaceutical industry. RMM technologies have already been validated and implemented for both small and large molecule pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic products, in addition to cell therapy and tissue culture products, as an alternative to pharmacopeial sterility tests, and company success stories have been presented and published at numerous professional meetings and in a variety of scientific journals (please see the reference page at http://rapidmicromethods.com for the full titles). However, the industry as a whole has not embraced the use of rapid sterility testing as much as other microbiological applications, such as in-process bioburden, environmental monitoring and Microbial Limits testing. The reasons are varied, and have included concerns regarding return on investment, the extent of the validation plan and regulatory acceptance. Fortunately, recent changes in regulatory policy make it clear that RMMs for finished product sterility testing have a place in our industry, and it is the FDA that is leading the motivation for change.
In February 2008, the FDA published their draft guidance on the validation of growth-based RMMs for sterility testing of cellular and gene therapy products. The guidance addressed considerations for method validation and determining equivalence of an RMM to sterility assays described in Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 610.12 (21 CFR 610.12).

Welcome To The PlayroomMature
He sighed deeply. "Well, as The Stones ones said, 'you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you might find that you get what you need.' Wise words I say." His shoulders rose and fell in a shrug. "Perhaps I'll have them tattooed on my back." Yes, get it tattooed right on his back, so when he walked away from her or any of his other disobedient submissives, they would heed the lyrics and maybe, just maybe, learn something from them.
Hyde blinked, his temper stirring, his eyes narrowing at her change in attitude. One of his hands curled into a fist, flexing then unflexing. He glanced from her to the holter monitor then back at her. "You want to go to your room for the remainder of the night, do you?" He pushed himself forward in his chair, hands folded between his spread legs. "If you go to your room, then you'd better stay in there, because you won't be allowed out unless you've got to tinkle. And you will be getting another punishment, if not when I come up, then tomorrow, first thing in the morning."

US firm Heller Ehrman is understood to be in talks with Mayer Brown, just two weeks after the collapse of Heller's talks with Baker & McKenzie.
London-based global vice chairman Paul Maher refused to confirm or deny the tie-up, adding: "We don't comment on rumours or speculation."
San Francisco, California-headquartered Heller has been at the centre of merger rumours throughout the summer. Other targets are thought to have included Winston & Strawn and Proskauer Rose.
In June chairman Matt Larrabee told The Lawyer that a merger was one of the options his firm was considering, but that no decision had been taken.
At the beginning of 2008, Mayer Brown merged with Hong Kong firm Johnson Stokes & Master in a bid to expand its global reach (The Lawyer, 7 January).
Heller Ehrman has offices across the US as well as in London, Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong.

D.C. United's search for its sixth head coach has come to an end and D.C. has settled on a coach with plenty of ties to the club.
D.C. has hired Curt Onalfo as its new head coach and could announce the decision as early as today, sources told SBI on Monday. The decision comes two months after former head coach Tom Soehn pulled himself out of the mix to return and two weeks after Caleb Porter turned down the job, choosing instead to stay at the University of Akron.
Onalfo will take charge after having spent two and a half seasons as head coach of the Kansas City Wizards before being fired last August. He took a KC team that hadn't reached the playoffs in two straight seasons and led it to the post-season in each of his two full seasons in charge. The Wizards lost to the eventual MLS Cup champion both years.
A 40-year-old cancer survivor, Onalfo takes over an underachieving D.C. United team that has failed to reach the playoffs in each of the past two seasons. The current D.C. squad is at a crossroads, with Ben Olsen having just retired, former MLS MVP Luciano Emilio looking like a good bet to leave MLS and aging stars Jaime Moreno and Christian Gomez reaching the ends of their careers. With an infusion of quality young talent that includes Chris Pontius, Rodney Wallace and Danny Szetela, as well as the recent signing of Salvadorean winger Christian Castillo, Onalfo will have the task of turning D.C. into a serious contender in the Eastern Conference.
No stranger to D.C. United, Onalfo spent two of his four seasons as a player in MLS with D.C. United, including the 1999 season when D.C. won MLS Cup. His coaching career began as an assistant with D.C. for two seasons under head coaches Thomas Rongen and Ray Hudson before leaving to join Bruce Arena's staff with the U.S. national team.
Onalfo's hiring leaves two MLS head coaching openings as we head toward the new year. The New York Red Bulls and Chicago Fire are without coaches, though both are expected to have coaches in place before next month's 2010 MLS Draft. The Red Bulls are believed to be considering a handful of European candidates, while Chicago is considering foreign options as well as former D.C. head coach Tom Soehn.
There is no word yet on who will make up Onalfo's coaching staff, though recently-retired Ben Olsen is expected to be considered for a position as an assistant. Long-time assistant Mark Simpson is also a candidate to remain with the club, though there are rumors that he could leave D.C. to join Frank Yallop's staff with the San Jose Earthquakes.
What do you think of this hire? Think Onalfo can help return D.C. to the MLS elite?
Share your thoughts below.
I know there are a lot of Onalfo detractors in DC but I'm not one of them. I have always liked him. He did a good job on the Nats and was tutored by the best in Arena. He did a nice job with very little at KC and my kids had benefit of the great work he did as tecnical director of McLean Youth soccer.
I say give him a shot, he'll have more talent to work with than he did at KC. I suspect the next announcement will be Benny as an assistant coach and the two of them should lead DC to the playoffs assuming the front office doesn't sell off more of the best talent and replace it with weaker players.
Dave Hayes
I'm a season ticket holder and I was hoping for a more attack oriented coach. I guess we will see how he does. At least he is experienced.
I think the key to this is "why did he fail to make the playoffs his last year with KC?" and the answer determines how effective he is/will be as a coach.
We tend to view the playoffs and W-L as the be-all/end-all evaluator of the playoffs (JCO makes MLS Cup final–he must be a great coach). Personally, I always felt that KC had game plans/tactics against DCU that surprised the team or created mis-matches, that Onalfo did a great job getting the most out of EJ when he was there, that he did a good job developing young Americans, and that he tried to build a program (fitness, practice facility, coaches that do more than coach the senior side) with the ownership that goes beyond just focusing on your 11-15 players who see most of the time. I liked what I saw. OTOH, none of that means he'll be a great coach.
Josh D
Could be worse. Not happy about the choice but glad we have someone so we he can settle himself and the team.
Hope to see Benny as an assistant but I can see him taking a year or so off. He's said he has other passions, so so long as he saved properly, he won't be begging for work. However, Benny has a huge future as a coach if he continues.
Bringing in young players, have a young coach now lets build a stadium (har har) and recapture our dominance!
DC Josh
Best of the worst to be honest. I think he is the right man considering the other options. He has a better pedigree and has been with the club in the past. He will do a good job this season.
Now let's move on and prepare for the draft. We had a fantastic draft last year, let's duplicate it.
i think he is a decent manager, he knows only that of soccer within this country it seems however
KC was once of the most american teams under him in MLS and that means the play was very simple and boring to some extent besides when they gave the ball to Lopez
he doesnt seem like the type of manager who would fit into DC's style
DC has always played through the midfield like KC but are much more complex and skilled(Gomez,Quaranta,Castillo,Pontius,Moreno)
This really doesnt seem like the guy that will take them to the playoffs…..my thought was a manager that had a reputation for looking outside MLS ESPECIALLY when DC is about to loose their DP
the only really intriguing player that was brought into KC from outside the US was Espinoza and thats because he is promising and already as productive as lopez and hirsig have been for KC
the problem with them not signing him would be the other options might be worse
He promised "exciting, attacking soccer" when hired in KC…..
Curt will most likely bring Kris "K-dog" Kelderman into DCU as an assistant too. There's a lot to like about Curt and i recognized his local ties, but in all his coaching experiences has he distinguished himself to indicate he can turn the beloved United around? Does he have the passion and can he get the talent behind him to make a run for the MLS cup?
Respect the man but not sure about the coach. I'm on the fence.
A neutral hire. When DC is ready to take the next step, we will hire an international quality coach…
United fury
…and them watch him fail like all the expensive international coaches Red Bull has had.(no offense RB fans)I think its been proven that hiring international coaches is not a recipe for success in MLS.
Sad, Agree with Nick….
Will continue to support Curt and Team, but with low expectation. I am wondering how the DCU FO will measure success ? Making the play-offs? (probably)Anything more is unlikely.
Wondering how this might effect draft picks, not sure as a young player entering the league that I would be happy going to DC, as an overseas/experienced I would have doubts, you always look to join a winning team. I think that we are entering a period of LA Galaxy domination..and good luck to them – they are doing it the right way.
Vamos United
Onalfo is a punk.
Espinoza was picked in the draft. He wasn't brought in from outside, the kid is from texas. His parents are from Honduras.
The people he did bring in from outside were, Carlos Marinelli, Ivan Trujillo, and Santiago Hirsig.
Except he has played in France and Mexico, and was an assistant coach on the USMNT for the '06 World Cup and qualifying.
Don't let facts get in the way of a good opinion, though.
Takes one to know one, I guess.
What does it mean about Richie Williams that all these teams that had or have an available position do not make him an offer? Could it be that they see something about him that we don't?
I mean, he does fit the requirements that many ask for about having MLS experience and blah blah blah
(SBI- Williams fits most standard requirements, but it still comes down to teams having their preferences and it's clear that Toronto and Chivas USA had their people in mind while New York's new leadership is more interested in European options. That leaves Chicago and D.C. Williams was initially on the radar with the FIre but then never interviewed becuase Chicago settled on some final candidates. With D.C, I don't get the impression that Willams has the coziest relationship with D.C. president Kevin Payne, who ultimately hired Onalfo. Ultimately, Williams has to be hired as a head coach, but I do see him getting that chance eventually. He is still pretty young and if he continues to impress when given the opportunities, it will only be a matter of time.)
Another questionable decisiion by the DC brass. Onalfo's credentials are paper thin, at best. Maybe Eddie Johnson will be wearing the Black and Red when he is jettisoned by Fulham once the transfer window opens in January. Just what we need, another flake.
I am VERY EXCITED for Curt Onalfo and DC United! This was a great decision that will pay off for both DC United and Curt Onalfo. DC United keeps it within the family without having to settle for Richie Williams or gamble on an unproven college coach. As a former player for DC United that won trophies, he understands he has a high level of expectations to live up to, and the DC United fan base (somewhat unrealistically) expects silverwear every season. What I am most pleased with is that he was a top assistant to Bruce Arena (the father of American Soccer) and the USMNT program, at a time when a great amount of success was achieved. I think with a successful time at DC United, he certainly could be considered a possible candidate for USMNT head coach down the road. At DC United, he will be given all the resources he needs to build a winner, much like his mentor Bruce Arena had at the club. The team already has a few young international stars on the rise, as well as a few veterans (including MLS's greatest player and all time leading scorer- Jaime Moreno) that can help make the transition much easier.
Kudos to DC United! Coach Onalfo was an excellent choice. DC United will be back in the playoffs THIS YEAR! (The fans will expect no less!)
My advice to Coach Onalfo is to keep mining in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Africa. The club has done a great job trolling those waters, and the league is better off for it!
Nick from Big Soccer
This signing does not excite me. I'm feeling something like least of the worst options as someone above mentioned.
And to think we did not go for the Bruce last year when he was available or Preki this year.
His record is pretty thin that if he doesn't get some results pretty quickly, the sharks will be circling very early.
I will enjoy watching D.C. lose to Seattle even more so in 2010. I sure hope they bring the insane keeper back too.
This, my friend, is crazy talk.
Michael F. - SBI Mafia Original
Red Bulls should have been so lucky.
For the people who are saying Onalfo isn't an attacking coach, or that he promised that in K.C. but didn't deliver, this isn't entirely true. I grew to be very disappointed with Onalfo, but when he was first hired he definitely had K.C. playing attacking soccer and I really appreciated it. I was never a big fan of K.C. mostly because of their defensive boring soccer.
Onalfo had K.C. playing exciting attacking soccer but as is often the case he eventually started getting poor results. Then he started playing more defensively and it helped and it was bye bye attacking soccer. For some reason whenever you play attacking soccer and get bad results it is always the fault of the attacking soccer. Hopefully he will try it again in D.C. and make it work this time.
Well, this sucks.
Goran Hunjak
I think Onalfo's time in the Navy SEALS gives him a toughened perspective. I understand he will bring a discipline and fitness regimen to the team that will improve the side exponentially.
I won't address Onalfo. I will laugh that Chicago want Soehn as coach. They really must be stupid.

Access for all
We offer a range of services to help make life easier. If you are interested in setting up any of these services, please contact Customer Service or ask in an O2 store. These include:
Managing your account
We can provide your contract, mobile phone bill and more in Braille, large print or audio free of charge. If you'd like this service, just let us know.
If you have a trusted carer or family member who has agreed to help you manage your account and phone bills, let us know. We can make sure they are sent your bills, can pay a bill for you and are set up to act on your behalf. It's free and simple to set up.
SignVideo interpreting service
If you're a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can get in touch with a customer service advisor at O2 by using the SignVideo service.
SignVideo lets you sign to an interpreter via your webcam, and the interpreter speaks to our adviser. It's free and available Monday to Friday, 08:00 - 18:00, except bank holidays.
Here's how to use it:
Next Generation Text Service (NGTS)
If you're deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired, you can use the NGTS to make calls. A trained BT relay assistant will read out your message to the person you're calling, then type out their reply for you to read. You can use NGTS through a textphone or the NGT Lite app. Get the app for:
Add the NGTS Bolt On to your account and you'll get a 10% discount on international and premium rate calls. Standard UK calls through the 18001 service are charged at standard UK rates and will come out of any minutes you have left on your tariff. But if you're on a tariff with limited minutes, you'll get an extra allowance of 100 minutes for 18001 calls to UK landline and mobile numbers, then a 50% discount on calls after you've used up your allowance.
If you've used NGTS with us since 1 August 2016, we'll add the Bolt On to your account automatically, so you don't have to do a thing. And if you haven't used the service since then, you can add the NGTS Bolt On to your account through My O2.
Calls through the NGT Lite app use both a voice call and an internet connection. So if you're not connected to wifi, it'll use some of your data allowance.
With NGTS, you can get a dedicated mobile number for incoming calls. It's called a Textnumber, and it means that anyone who calls you doesn't have to dial the 18002 prefix. Calls to Textnumbers are charged at standard UK rates and will come out of any minutes allowance the caller has left on their tariff.
Find out more about how to use NGTS.
Once you're registered, you can use NGTS to call emergency services for free. Just dial 18000 instead of 999. Or you can contact emergency services by text, by just sending a message to 999. You'll have to register with emergency SMS service first.
If you're an O2 Business customer, we'll add the NGTS Bolt On to your account once you make a call through NGTS. This could take up to a week.
Directory enquiries
If you're unable to read or hold a telephone directory due to illness or disability, you can apply for free directory assistance and information by calling BT Directory Assistance on 195. Once you've registered and got your PIN, you'll be able to register with us.
Getting in touch
If you want to get more information or set up any of the services above, then just contact us. You can get extra help if you have specific accessibility needs:
Or you can visit us at an O2 store. You can find listings of the accessibility features of your local O2 store here - simple type O2 plc into the Search for box. In O2 stores you can:
We can help you find a phone to suit your needs and get it set up for you. It'll come with a 14 Day Change of Mind period. So if it's not quite right, bring it back and we'll help you find the right one.
O2 Call Alert
O2 Call Alert is a simple, easy-to-use alternative to Voicemail 901. It provides missed call information for up to four callers, at no extra cost, by sending you a text message update. So, if you're on another call or your mobile's switched off, if you're out of coverage or you just don't answer in time, O2 Call Alert will tell you the caller's number and the last time they called.
But it's not just you who benefits from the service. Callers also hear a message telling them that their number is being sent to you via text message, to let you know they called. (Although, if anyone decides to withhold their number, you won't be sent the missed call text and they'll be told to call again later.)
You can turn on O2 Call Alert any time by calling 1710 free from your mobile phone. And you call exactly the same number to switch it off.
If you've got O2 Call Alert it's free to receive the text update, whether you're in the UK or abroad.
If you're calling someone with O2 Call Alert you'll be charged your standard tariff rate unless you withhold your number, then it's free.

JacpFX and DataFX-flows, a perfect match for JavaFX
JacpFX is a RCP framework based on JavaFX, supporting developers to structure an application with loosely coupled, reusable components and DataFX-flow is an API that allows you to define flows between controllers and views in JavaFX. Both projects developed independently, and while I developed a JacpFX application I realized the lack of flow support. Integrating a simple DataFX-flow into JacpFX was quite easy, a JacpFX component is a controller with either a FXML view or a plain JavaFX view; on the other hand the FlowHandler of a DataFX-flow returns a StackPane which is easy to integrate in your current view. The drawback of this simple solution is the isolation of your DataFX-flow context from the JacpFX context which means, they have no direct access to each other. At JavaOne I had the chance to spend a hour with Hendrik Ebbers (one of the DataFX committers) and to create a solution for this. The resulting JacpFX/DataFX-flow plugin allows you to inject the JacpFX context of a specific component to DataFX-flow controllers. It allows DataFX-flow controllers to communicate via the JacpFX message-bus with the rest of the JacpFX application. Beside this, the DataFX-flow controller gets access to resource-bundles and other methods/resources of the JacpFX component.

Music Term: Aria
Definition and background:
Originally an air; a song; a tune; sung by a single voice with or without accompaniment. Now taken to mean a lyric song for solo voice generally having two contrasting parts (I and II), ending with a literal or elaborated repeat of part I. The aria first developed into this form in the early operas; the arias found in an opera, cantata or oratorio usually express intense emotion. an aria is a song or air. the word is used in particular to indicate formally constructed songs in opera. the so-called da capo aria of later baroque opera, oratorio and other vocal compositions, is an aria in which the first section is repeated, usually with additional and varied ornamentation, after the first two sections. the diminutive arietta indicates a little aria, while arioso refers to a freer form of aria-like vocal writing

where do you see that? I have scammed it twice and cant find anything that talks about adding new tiers.
UnemployedInFL(logged-in user) March 4, 2010, 10:34pm (report abuse)
I've read the bills and have been reading quite a few articles regarding HR4691, HR4213 and the Baucus Substitute amendment #3336 to HR4213. They're all about extending the EUC Program.
These bills DO NOT add Tiers and/or weeks to existing Tiers.
They all say nothing about the 15 - 25 million who have exhausted all their benefits and will still get nothing no matter how long THE PROGRAM is extended.
These articles need to convey the difference.
When they don't explain, they only serve to confuse the issue further.
Telling everyone we're getting a big bang, when it's barely a fizzle.

Join Us Here.
We won't convey any false hope. If you don't fight for it, you won't get it.
START DEMANDING!!! We need Long-Haul Life-Line Legislation!!!
We've got to stop asking, hoping and whining. START DEMANDING!!!
Separating the issues (EUC Program extension -vs- New Tiers/Weeks) does nothing but play into partisan politics, allowing an empty victory and an out for Dems to return to Health Care Insurance Reform.
They've satisfied maybe 2 - 4 million unemployed whose only argument was,- "they got all the Tiers, why shouldn't we?".
This is the kind of logic that allowed the politicians to take the back door into the alley leaving 15 - 18 million waiting at the front door begging for scraps, again.
Why did we let Washington split us up with such a childish excuse?
We have weak leadership, that's why.
UnemployedInFL(logged-in user) March 4, 2010, 10:52pm (report abuse)
The 2 - 4 million unemployed actually got the Tiers because the economy is still in the crapper. And the people it benefitted didn't even understand what was happening. Let's not forget that.
It will take these 2 - 4 million along time to catch up to the wealth of knowledge us 15 - 18 million unemployed have accrued during our previous battles with these politicians.
15 - 18 million unemployed did not get any Tiers. Why not? Aren't we in the same economy? Let's not forget that either.
Are we discriminating between different types of Unemployed people now? The ones who got all the Tiers and the ones who didn't.
If your unemployed because the bankers, corporations, wall street and politicians don't know how to keep our economy strong then you should be getting a Life-Line Check. They've been calling them unemployment checks but let's face it this is way beyond the scope of your neighborhood unemployment agency.
UnemployedInFL(logged-in user) March 4, 2010, 10:53pm (report abuse)
If they don't want to give us a check to pacify us, then for God's sake let's take our country back. It's ours not theirs. They can run it as long as they don't screw us. Well they've been screwing us!!!
Congress is not going to tell us face-to-face,- that's all you're getting!!!
They absolutely know there'd be riots in the streets and modern political entities forming and fighting for territory. Are you going to wait and give them more time to build prisons and riot squads with stimulus money. They know the day is coming. Don't you?
They've chopped up a section of unrepresented Unemployed people and disposed of them by the millions.
These unrepresented Unemployed people are people we don't here from anymore. They're broke! They're living in a car, if they're lucky. They're the new faces begging on the street corner. They're the ones who no longer have their laptops and internet or phones to keep fighting for more Tiers. They're destitute. They're you, in time.
UnemployedInFL(logged-in user) March 4, 2010, 10:53pm (report abuse)
Some have outlasted most because they're single, no kids and live cheap.
If your not in this fight for some kind of Life-Line Check legislation, then you may as well stand in the next line waiting at the front door begging for scraps.
These Life-Line payments need to be paid to all who were unemployed thru no fault of their own until the Total Unemployment Rate gets back down to a predetermined level, say 5%.
The legislation should include avenues for training, recurrent training, OJT and self-employment programs, etc., to help us get ourselves back to work.
This economy isn't expected to change significantly until 2013. Ask any reputable economist.
We need Long-Haul Life-Line Legislation!!!

I read the unemployment section twice. I think it is very unclear as to whether or not any of the tiers will be extended. I have been surfing and cannot find anything saying unemployment tiers will be extended, just time to file for the tiers. Anyone else see anything?
Ghost, CaMarch 10, 2010, 2:36pm (report abuse)
So those of us who have been unemployed and unable to get employed, NO JOBS, are SOL. I have 4 weeks left on tier 4.
cMarch 10, 2010, 4:53pm (report abuse)
It goes back to the house for their tweeking of the bill so you better get on the horn to the house politicans to include a new tier because once you are out of tier 4 and eb your done.

Everyone NOT helped by the bill passed today (everyone who has exhausted tier 3 or will soon exhaust tier 4) NEEDS to call, fax, email, tweet all members of the HOUSE & SENATE and the MEDIA as well. REMEMBER that WE ARE AMERICANS and right now WE have a disaster of LONG TERM UNEMPLOYMENT in this country that NEEDS IMMEDIATE AID from our GOVT!

Long term unemployed / short term unemployed:
Join the UNION for the unemployed - unite with folks in the same situation in your area. Join a cube - start your own cube - link into neighborhoods. If we can gather in big numbers we can march locally. We need to start somewhere.
ALSO KEEP CALLING- FAXING- TWEETING-EMAILING and educating senate aides who have no clue. It is very easy to send one email to many senators & congressmen & media outlets at the same time. USE the BBC feature.
Today may seem like a defeat, but to those of us who knew this bill had NOTHING for those needing extra tiers it came as no surprise. PLEASE do not let it discourage you. It should fire us all up even more!!! We are AMERICANS and we can get this done!

If you think 99 weeks is enough this was introduced in the heart of the recession it is not over yet cities the last month has lost jobs like ohio etc. We need an extenstion for 1 additional year tier 5 and 6. By making people drop off the system does not mean they are working they can not find living work stop the game playing and do what is right for once. These people need a lifeline so they can afford to look for work otherwise this will just esculate the current problems.

WNV Headline: Unemployment Extension Provisions Possible Within Weeks
During the weekly meeting of the National Press Club yesterday, Senator Levin addressed the much sought out question regarding H.R. 4213 American Workers, State, and Business Relief Act of 2010. During the session the Senator remarked, he "wants to see the extenders bill, and a small-business-focused tax bill (HR 4849) passed by the House in March, enacted before lawmakers leave for the Memorial Day recess."
Although, this bill approved by the Senate in March does not address the question of additional weeks of unemployment compensation it does allow for the extension of the current EUC programs until the end of 2010.

Unemployment Extension | Tier V Questionable Before Break
The House Ways and Means Committee still has time to find some $27 billion to extend the existing EUC programs out until the end of the year however, that will only handle a relatively small percentage of both the unemployed and underemployed. In fact, the program may see even quicker closer since; estimations have enough people exhausting unemployment benefits under all programs by the end of July, to falsely lower that percentage utilized to trigger the unemployment extension program below levels thusly, cutting millions more from the program.

Congress raises curtain on tax and spending bill
Safety net: The bill offers a number of safety-net provisions for the unemployed and financially strapped. It would extend to the end of this year a program that provides a greater-than-normal number of weeks that an unemployed person may collect federal unemployment benefits.
In addition, the bill would extend through year-end the federal subsidy to help the newly unemployed pay for health insurance under COBRA. And it also would provide more federal aid to help budget-strapped states meet the increased demands for Medicaid services.
Lastly, it would extend through September 2011 emergency funding to states for food stamps and aid for needy families and a subsidized jobs program.

Tier 5 Unemployment Case Study: Alan In Alabama
Over the past couple of weeks, we've been publishing stories of long-term unemployed Americans who find themselves unemployed and without any additional unemployment benefits.
If you would like to share your story, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
Today's story comes from Alan G., who lives in a suburb outside of Birmingham, Alabama.
Today I walked out of my house for the last time.
This is the house we've owned for 8 years. We've raised our children here, made friends and this was the house I thought my wife and I would live in the rest of our lives.
part 1
Patriots(logged-in user) May 29, 2010, 10:56pm (report abuse)
But it's been sold, because we couldn't keep making mortage payments. I've been out of work for over two years and my wife's employer cut her hours back to part-time more than a year ago. We cut every expense, pinched every penny, but even when I was still getting unemployment benefits we were barely getting by. Now that those benefits have been exhausted, there is just no way to keep the house.
We didn't buy more house than we could afford, we actually bought well before the housing market heated up. But even our modest mortagage payment is more than we can pay. And as my wife and I stood at the front door for the final time today, I'm not ashamed to say that we were both crying.
I don't what to do. I've been trying to find work, and despite what you hear from most of the legislators here in Alabama, there aren't any jobs to be found for a 52-year-old engineer.
part 2
Patriots(logged-in user) May 29, 2010, 10:56pm (report abuse)
I'm a social conservative and a life-long Republican. It kills me to hear the people I've voted for imply that I'm lazy or just not willing to take a job that is "beneath" me. I would have done anything to keep our house. Honestly, there are times when I think about my life insurance and try and figure out some way I could die that would not look like a suicide. At least my passing would give my family a future and the hopes of a decent life.
I'm writing this from the library, because we can't afford an Internet connection. Even if I hadn't sold my laptop to fix our car last week.
I want to die, but the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that my family would never understand. I love them too much to do that to them. But I also love them too much to allow this to go much longer.
I need help. We all need help and I wish someone would recognize that fact.

Tier 5 and extended unemployment benefits: Congressional hearings focus on long-term unemployment
June 6, 10:59 AM Rochester Unemployment Examiner Michael Thornton
Before I cover the House hearings, I wanted to mention that the next couple weeks could be your last, best chance to make your voices heard about the need for extended unemployment benefits, or an expanded Tier 4 or a new Tier 5. I know many of you continue to work hard to push Congress to do the right thing, but you'll need to gather your energies and aim them at what could be the springboard for expanding unemployment benefits. No guarantees of course, but at least you'll have the ear of Congress and likely the media as well. C-Span will be covering the proceedings and media outlets will probably pick up on pertinent testimony.

text:
Most of the time during my four-week journey through the Hebrides I've been listening to other people's views on the independence referendum, but I was caught up sharp when a few days ago on Lewis someone asked me what I thought. So I worked out four key conclusions.
The first is obvious: this is a Scottish decision. The English do not have a role beyond interested observer. I disagree with David Cameron's injunction to love-bomb the Scots or David Bowie's plea for them to "stay with us". The wonderful Scottish writer John Burnside, in his book I Put a Spell on You, makes an apt comment that the hit song "Don't leave me this way" is a pathetically ignominious response to a departing lover. He wasn't talking about the referendum but the same applies to all relationships. They must want to stay.
So as a chronic Scotophile, I watch and listen but feel I have no role. Nor do I feel resentful. I don't share the view of one English friend who complained that half a million Glaswegians could end up making a decision about Britain in which he had no say. Tough. This referendum is about Scotland. If the idea of Britain is anything, it is that it is a voluntary union and it's no bad thing for that choice to be remade by a new generation.
The second conclusion is that on balance if I was a Scot I would probably be a yes voter, recognising the rather shabby record of British governments in addressing Scotland's dramatic history over the last two centuries – rapid urbanisation, high emigration and traumatic, rapid de-industrialisation. There is a keen awareness that the English have made a practice of willed indifference to the countries and cultures they have dominated across the globe; how did I get through 15 years of studying history in three schools and two universities without ever addressing Scotland?
Mixed in with this would be a desire for a new kind of political conversation. It would be, I admit, a rather desperate response, born out of despair with Westminster rather than a confidence that Edinburgh would deliver.
But I am not a Scot and I don't have a vote, and that is why my third conclusion is that I desperately hope that Scotland rejects independence (but not so decisively that it fails to shake up the moribund political dispensation so bound up with London and the south-east). The UK would very much be a poorer place, in every sense of the word, without Scotland.
In 1830, the Celtic seaboard nations made up nearly 40% of the United Kingdom; that dropped throughout the 19th century due to the Irish famine and emigration. In the 20th century the decline accelerated with Irish independence and continued Scottish emigration and English population growth so that it is now below 10%. If Scotland went independent, it would be tiny. This would destroy a vital part of what makes these island nations feel like home.
The Celtic Atlantic seaboard has been powerfully creative and outward orientated, the crucial counterbalance to English caution, reserve and desire for privacy. This has rarely been acknowledged; initially because of a persistent strain of Anglo-Saxon racism which has now morphed into a south-east metropolitan self-absorption. The historian Christopher Harvie lays this out brilliantly in his book, A Floating Commonwealth. The danger is that without a strong Celtic component, England becomes self-absorbed and insular. The ever-present temptation in Englishness is a retreat into a nostalgia about the pastoral English ideal of soporific village greens and the "old maids cycling to church in the mist" nonsense.
The Celtic nations – Ireland, Wales and Scotland – also have a strong commitment to social justice derived from different communitarian traditions, often incubated in the poverty of this coastal seaboard, that has been vital to our political culture. It's no accident that the Labour party's history has been bound up with Wales and Scotland. These are countries with far stronger egalitarian traditions nurtured in their distinctive Christian traditions (Methodism and Presbyterianism) than England, where status and rank have always been minutely marked out. The possible loss of this fills me with gloom. Yes, supporters have no patience with such laments; they insist it's time England developed a homegrown politics of social justice and egalitarianism and stopped relying on Celtic imports. They say that an independent Scotland could stimulate English politics; I can only see it as a profound trauma which would last at least a couple of generations and could have some very ugly manifestations.
The final conclusion is that whatever else one says about Britishness, it has been useful. It is by definition a plural identity; it is multi-ethnic and that has offered a capaciousness for mass immigration in the 20th century. Black British, Asian British, British Muslim: these identities have emerged in the last 60 years and are still being worked out.
Being British is always part of a dual identity. That doesn't deny that Britain has a curious hollowness to it – its traditions of empire, war and monarchy are all problematic – and successive politicians' attempts to redefine it have been lamentable. "British values" has unfortunately often ended up sounding like an impertinent appropriation of universal human values such as fairness, tolerance and the like.
Travelling in Scotland in the summer of 2014, I only ever feel I am seen as English; everywhere else I define myself as British. British best accounts for my ancestry of Irish, Scottish, Jewish and English. That identity is important to me and it hangs in the balance, and yet the experience of being impotent in a conversation which matters personally – a common experience to many nations at different times in their histories – is profoundly uncomfortable.

Martin Seligman :
O pozitivni psihologiji
Martin Seligman govori o psihologiji — kot o raziskovalnem področju in kot o delu ena-na-ena z vsakim pacientom in vsakim praktikom. Do česa lahko psihologija pomaga človeku s tem, ko se oddaljuje od osredotočenosti le na bolezni?

The Combined Tragedies of Shakespeare
A play combining three of Shakespeare's tragedies, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Julius Caesar. The tragic heroes of the three plays meet in heaven. The only other characters died within the three plays.
Four passings, all alike in tragedy,
In fair Heaven where we take our new bend,
From old character break new entropy,
Where mortals' flaws beget mortal ends,
From fourth the hamartia of friend and foe,
Arises new feuds, new conflict new strife,
Second time each, a tale ending in woe,
And now once again, falling on the knife.
The discord will not be broken by love,
Holding timelessness, no era or age,
These schisms art not transcended by doves,
Which will be shown upon this very stage;
If you shall lend ears to this twist of thought,
You'll find answers and the drama you sought.
