Excelente ubicación. Excelente atención de recepción, restaurant y limpieza. Todo fué de nuestro agrado.
Muy amable y servicial. Salir
Realmente era el lugar perfecto para nuestra excursión. Papasito era increíble. El desayuno a las 16:00 era increíble. Y no puedo decir lo suficiente sobre la vista del horizonte desde la terraza de la piscina y terraza exterior. Me quedé muy sorprendido de que no hay ventiladores en el cuarto de baño.
Precioso por dentro y por fuera. El personal era profesional y cortés. Hilton Americas es el mejor de los mejores. Corta estancia.
La ubicación, la relación precio/servicio, el confort de las habitaciones, la vocación de servicio de su personal y la comida de su principal restaurant Quattro.-
El personal era excelente. Instalación muy agradable. Buena ubicación. La habitación necesita reparaciones y no llega al nivel de lujo. La temperatura del agua de la ducha era muy irregular. Hotel Restaurante temático italiano en Houston!
Right in downtown Houston valet parking My bathroom had a leaky toilet so we woke up in the morning to a puddle of water around the toilet floor which wasn't a big bother for us since we were checking out that afternoon.
I didn't like the fact that there was no self parking. There was only valet parking for 28 dollars a night plus tax. Online it shows there is self parking.
Dallas street was closed so we couldn't park at the hotel, not knowing downtown this was a big inconvenience.
Everyone who worked there went out of their way to be friendly and helpful.
The hotel was an older hotel in the heart of downtown. Overall, the hotel met my needs. The bathroom did not have a toilet paper holder and there was a hole in the wall where it was supposed to be. The bathroom appearance was run down and dirty looking. It probably was clean but just didn't look it. The breakfast, on the otherhand, was fabulous. That was one of the best breakfast self serve I have ever had at any hotel. they served all kinds of hot food items and there was quite a spread. The staff was friendly but a little slow in processing our registration.
Every thing was awesome. I always stay here when I come to Houston...
We were in town for wedding. The people at the front desk were great with directions and making my family feel welcomed. I was surprised when I got to my room because it was extremely large and had a full kitchen. I was able to prepare meals for my children and save money because of the refrigerator and the breakfast buffet. I will definitely return to the hotel for any future trips to Houston.
Shared two 2-bedroom suites among six people and got great rates. Rooms were each like a small apt with kitchens and a bathroom in each bedroom. Service was excellent and the hot and cold buffet breakfast was great. Parking was valet only but not uncommon for a downtown hotel. Only flaw was pool maintenance going on while we were there; our kids couldn't use the pool.
The friendly and helpful staff were always able to answer our questions. They have a computer in the lobby with free internet and you can even print for free, which is convenient. They sell toiletries and food which is great because not much is open in downtown Houston on weekends. My ''studio'' room had a full kitchen-- great for being able to store and reheat leftovers. This hotel would be great for a business trip so you don't have to eat out and spend a lot every day. The only downside: valet parking is expensive, about $22/day, which can add up quickly.
Will stay there on gameday from now on. Great rooms and staff. Close to everything.
This isn't a bad hotel, but there are much nicer hotels that cost less than the $* I paid for it. The room (suite) was spacious and there is a nice room service selection. It is located across the street from the downtown police station, so I frequently heard sirens during the night.
We were in the midst of a major household move with lots of luggage during our stay. The staff was very helpful in moving our things to the suite. We had plenty of space and having the kitchen is a major plus when we are traveling.
This was a very clean facility. The continental breakfast was a great supplement to our stay.
The room was extremely quiet. There were musicians in other rooms nearby that you could hear from the hallway. But inside the room it was completely quiet. That was nice. Also it was nice to have access to a small kitchen and full-size refrigerator. Overall the size of the room, albeit small, was just fine. And the proximity to downtown restaurants and to the venue where we were for our conference was just perfect. Parking. This is not a hotel problem. It's a Houston problem. It just seems ridiculous to me that the hotel should charge $15 a day for parking in an uncovered unsecure lot. But that's the average going rate everywhere in downtown Houston. So I guess you just have no choice other than to pay for parking or to park on the street and take your chances.
It is in walking distance of the George Brown Convension Center & rooms are quiet. The staff was friendly. Food, bed, my sheets was left folded on my bed for me to make, beds uncomfortable, $25 parking (4 spots only) 3 blocks away, could not get in room until after 5pm
The location of the hotel is excellent. The staff was not welcoming and the cleanliness of the rooms is not the best.

Sims Metal Management is Royal Bank of Scotland's top pick in the Australian steel sector.
Analysts at the broker are expecting compound average annual earnings growth of 32 per cent over the next three years for the waste steel and metals recycler, and recommend investors "buy" the stock, but with a reduced target price of $19.10, from $19.30.
On analyst calculations, earnings are forecast to rise by 53 per cent for the year to June 2012, with expectations of better scrap supply, the consolidation of acquisitions made in the 2011 financial year, $190 million of organic capital investments and increasing margins off levels which remain below pre-global financial crisis levels.
The stock is currently trading on a forward price-earnings multiple of 9, and RBS analysts say this is cheap, anticipating that the company will again produce a return on equity around 15 per cent, which is the average annual ROE over the past 16 years.

|Neldon Smith claims week's top bowler bragging rights at Classic Lanes
|Larry Mason
Aug. 8, 2006 - Neldon "Smitty" Smith took top honors at Classic Lanes this week, shooting a 674 series for three games, and an 872 series for four. To put Smitty's effort into perspective, a total of 42 men took to the lanes on Thursday night, and only 12 managed to shoot a 600 series, and of those, only 11 managed to shoot an 800. It would appear that Thursday's lane condition, or "shot," was a little more difficult than normal.
Neldon, an employee of Coca-Cola in Sulphur Springs as well as a retired Navy Vietnam veteran, started Thursday's play with a 207 average. He rolled games of 198, 234, and 242 for his first three games to register his 674 series, and followed that with a fourth game of 198, to finish with his 872. After all of that work, Smith was able to boast that he had raised his average to a 208, a single pin, which moved him into eighth place on the high average board. Neldon's best three-game series this summer is a 682, shot very early in the season, which currently holds 10th place on the three game high series chart. Smith's best four-game series for the summer is an 895, again shot earlier in the season. It ranks ninth on the four game high series chart. Smitty's best game to date is a 258, which ties him for ninth on the high game list.
The next best bowler for the week was Bo Duncan, an employee of L3 in Greenville and a retired Air Force veteran. Bo, who has been at or near the top of all of our honor categories all summer long, finished this week's play with a 659 three-game series and an 863 four-game series. Bo shot games of 181, 213, 265 and 204. Like Smith, Bo raised his average by a single pin to a 210, moving into fourth place on the high average board. Bo was the first of our summer bowlers to shoot a 700 series in three games, a 703. It ranks fourth on the three-game series chart. Duncan's top four-game series is a 962, placing Bo in the No. 3 slot on that chart. Duncan still holds the top spot on the high game list with a 289, where he joins Jason Keller.
Ray Howser, a Campbell Soup employee, shot the week's third highest three-game set, a 648, as well as the week's third highest 800 series, an 853. Ray rolled games of 218, 214, 216 and 205. Howser started Thursday's play with a 199 average, but raised it by two pins to a 201 by night's end. He moved into a three-way tie for eighth place on the high average board. Ray's best three-game series this summer is a 673, 13th on the three-game high series chart, and his best four-game effort is an 875, which ranks 17th on the four-game high series chart. His highest game is a 247, which ties him with his son Zach, and Darreyl Dixon for 13th place on the high game list.
Darreyl Dixon produced the week's third best four-game series on Thursday night, shooting games of 199, 200, 247 and 222 to finish with an 868 set. Dixon's entering average Thursday was a 194, but it rose to a 196 by the time the night's action was in the book. Dixon is sitting in 14th place on the high average board. Dixon's best three-game series this summer is a 651, which ranks 22nd on the three game high series chart, and his best four-game effort is this week's 868, which ranks 18th on the four-game chart. His best game, currently is this week's 247, tying him for 13th place on the high game list. It has been a sub-par summer for Darreyl, but one can expect to see significant improvement this fall.
Mike Miller has been shooting very well in recent weeks. He was averaging 179 when play commenced on Thursday night. Mike's average three-game series is around a 537, but this past week, he fashioned a 629 comprised of games of 177, 267 and 185. The series was his best of the summer, moving him to the No. 27 position on the three-game series chart. His fourth game Thursday was a 181, which gave him an 810 series total for four games. Mike's best four-game series for the summer is an 813, which, ironically, ranks 27th on the four-game chart. Miller's highest game is the 267 he shot in Game 2 on Thursday. It moved him to seventh place on the high game list, up 16 positions from a week ago.
The Thursday Men's Trio league will complete its schedule next week. Entering the last night of action, we find Jason Keller's name at the top of all of our various lists. He ranks first in average, 219, is first on the three-game high series list with a 759, is first on the four-game high series list with a 1,013, and is tied with Bo Duncan for first place on the high game list with a 289. Keller's team, the King Pins, is in first place going into Thursday's championship round, leading by five points. Barring a total collapse, it appears the King Pins have the league championship all but sewn up.
Thirteen men will start Thursday's play with averages of 200 or better: Keller, 219; Rodney Sullivan, 211; Duncan, 210; David Strain and Neldon Smith, 208; David Gholson, 206; Roy Schutz, 203; Nevil Solomon and Doug Brann, 202; Greg Pullen, Dewayne Roach and Ray Howser, 201; and Mark Smith 200. Another 15 men have averages between 190 and 199.
Three men who have shot 700s this summer will be setting their sites on dethroning Jason Keller and his 756 high series. They include retired Air Force veteran Cliff Whitney who ranks second with a 729, Michael Fletcher who ranks third with a 714, and Bo Duncan who ranks fourth with a 703.
Six men who have rolled four-game series in the 900s will be chasing Keller and his 1,013 series. Leading the charge will be none other than Cliff Whitney, who ranks second on the four game high series chart with a 975. Following Cliff will be third place holder, Bo Duncan, 962' fourth place claimant, Michael Fletcher, 935' fifth place holder, Jason Parmer, 931; followed by sixth place, Roy Schutz, 926; seventh place, David Stain, 917; and eighth place, Jesse Haggerty, 902.
Chasing Keller and Duncan's 289 high game will be second place holder Roy Schutz, 288, and third place holders Jason Parmer and Cliff Whitney, 279. Seventeen more men have shot games of 250 or higher this summer.
We haven't had anything to say about our ladies for the past couple of weeks simply because the summer mixed league is over, and women don't get to bowl in the men's leagues at Classic Lanes. If they did, Becky Bowden would be giving Keller a run for his money. Becky finished play boasting a 212 average, second only to Keller, had a 703 three-game series, tied with Duncan for fourth place on the three game high series list, and shot a 279 high game, tying her for third place on the high game list.
Others who bowled well this week include: David Gholson (638/850), Cliff Whitney (635/807), Dewayne Roach (632/847), Jason Keller (623/797), Mike Gilliland (617/842), Rodney Sullivan (610/846) and Red Skelton (609/801).
Sign-up for the Men's Commercial League for the fall is now underway. Slots are scarce, so if you want to bowl this fall/winter, you need to call or come by the center soon. The league's formation meeting will be at the center on Aug. 24 with play commencing the 31st.
Larry Mason writes a weekly column on the bowling action at Classic Lanes. His column appears on Tuesday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2013 (1387 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the last few months, I've been dealing with some laughably outrageous fees levied by the city for access to information requests.
One is for $5,440 for some rec centre data my excellent former colleague Jen Skerrit originally asked for in January. You know what else the Free Press could get for $5,440? Almost an entire summer intern.
Anyway, Jen seriously scaled back her request, asking for data from just one year instead of three. The new fee came in at $1,960. Jen asked for a fee waiver. No dice. We finally, nine months later, got some data, but it was a fraction of our original request.
Then, as part of this project, I asked for the database of inspection orders issued against rooming houses since 2008. The city said it would cost $6,480. I tried negotiating but could only get it down to $2,210.40. Remember, this doesn't involve rifling through boxes of old papers and spending hours photocopying. This is a database, so it's clicks and maybe some coding. By this time, the stories on rooming houses had already run, and I gave up.
Things got downright weird this week, though. We asked for the city's dog licensing database so we could replicate fun stories done in Vancouver, Toronto and beyond. Cost for that? $910.
I could live with $910 if the city was actually giving us what we wanted - the names of each dog and the first three digits of its owner's postal code. (Given recent experience with FOI requests, we didn't overreach. Other cities with nearly word-for-word the same FOI legislation as Manitoba's, have released the full postal code associated with each licence. We asked for just half the postal code, hoping for a fulsome and quick response from the city. We are so naive.)
Instead, the city is refusing to release the information, essentially arguing that dogs come with privacy rights. We could pay $910 for information that is essentially meaningless. Or, we can add it to the pile of appeals we've got on the go with the Manitoba Ombudsman.
This, at a time when the city has a committee ostensibly studying the concept of open data, and after some councillors have called for proper, modern open data policies.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the antiretrovirals: Zidovudine (ZDV) alone; ZDV + Recombinant Human Interferon
Since the appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) have been considered an excellent animal model for the study of the disease and many drug protocols are evaluated in cats to establish antiretroviral efficiency and low toxicity in humans.
In HIV-infected individuals, the best results are obtained with HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy), which combines drugs that act at critical points of the retroviral replication [
Zidovudine (ZDV) (nucleoside analog) is the reverse transcriptase inhibitor most studied in cats. ZDV administration has resulted in decreased viral load, improved clinical condition and better quality of life, but it may induce anemia, vomiting and anorexia [
Lamivudine (3TC) is another nucleoside analog that allows for longer periods of effective treatment and combines synergistically with ZDV [
The similarity between the development of resistance to ZDV in FIV and HIV-1 infections makes it reasonable to consider 3TC in combined treatment for FIV-infected cats, as it is used in combined therapy in HIV infection, [
Other studies propose the inclusion of protease inhibitors, such as TL3, that may avoid neurological clinical signs and which are more efficient in the treatment of FIV infection than HIV infection [
Valproic acid (Valp), an anticonvulsant drug used in humans and animals, has been shown to inhibit the enzyme histone deacetylase. Valp activates latent pro-viruses, thereby allowing other drugs to target them [
Non-specific immune modulators have also been proposed for the treatment of diseases associated with FIV infection, given that the virus causes a marked deterioration of the immune system. However, long-term field studies to determine the benefits and disadvantages of immune-stimulants are still lacking [
For some time, IFNs have been proposed as an alternative for the treatment of feline retrovirus infection. Two molecules of type I IFN are currently being used: human recombinant alpha interferon (rHuIFN-α) and feline recombinant omega interferon (rFeIFN-ω) [
Ideally, treatment should be started when FIV-infected cats are about to enter the final stage of the disease [
FIV invades the central nervous system (CNS) and has been detected in the brain at the time of acute infection. This was demonstrated following experimental infection with FIV Petaluma. Since these observations, several other FIV strains have been reported to cause neuropathology in domestic cats, however, cats often lack clinical signs of neuropathology [
In this study, we report the comparative results of combinations of antiviral drugs on naturally infected FIV cats in the late phase of the asymptomatic stage of the disease (one year post-commencement of therapy). The drug combinations evaluated were: ZDV alone; ZDV + Valp; ZDV + rHuIFN-α and ZDV + 3TC.
At the beginning of the study, gingivitis and lymphadenopathy were observed in 90% of cats (29/32): 6/8 cats on ZDV alone; 8/8 on ZDV + Valp; 8/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α; and 7/8 on ZDV + 3TC. Both conditions improved throughout the year of therapy. The improvement in gingivitis was evident because of its serious consequences to the animals, resulting in the development of pseudoanorexia. A decrease in lesion severity or complete improvement in oral-cavity lesions was observed. As a result, patients were able to eat with ease and gained weight. In a few cases, it was necessary to implement palliative and symptomatic protocols (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and fluid therapy) for short periods of time.
At the beginning of the study, these animals were healthy, but hyperglobulinemia was detected in a high proportion of cats (94%). The percentage of cats with hyperglobulinemia did not change through the course of the study.
Throughout the course of the study, the following medical conditions were observed: uveitis in 4/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV alone, 1/8 on ZDV + 3TC, and 2/8 on ZDV + Valp); superficial pyoderma in 3/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α, and 2/8 on ZDV + Valp); viral rhinitis and conjunctivitis in 2/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV alone, and 1/8 on ZDV + Valp); pneumonia in 1/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV + Valp); tumors (lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma) in 2/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α, and 1/8 on ZDV + Valp); neurological signs, such as partial seizures and/or behavioral disorders in 5/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV alone, 2/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α, 1/8 on ZDV + 3TC, and 1/8 on ZDV + Valp); and generalized seizures in 4/32 cats (4/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α). Also, non-regenerative anemia was observed in 2/32 cats (1/8 on ZDV + 3TC, and 1/8 on ZDV + Valp). This condition improved with 100 UI/kg of human recombinant erythropoietin (rHuEPO) administered 3 times a week for a period of one month.
Opportunist infections were not detected in these patients throughout the year of therapy and all of them remained alive and most of them in good general condition.
The aforementioned clinical findings are summarized in

No changes were detected after one year of treatment in the groups receiving either ZDV alone or the combination of ZDV + 3TC. In the group receiving ZDV + rHuIFN-α, a worsening of neurological signs (for example generalized seizures), was revealed in 4/8 cats through both clinical examination and analysis of evoked potentials studies (

Typical visual evoked potentials (VEP) and auditory evoked potentials (AEP) of study cats displaying normal and abnormal registers. (
Upon comparing the data displayed in
At the beginning of treatment, 5 cats experienced vomiting (1/8 on ZDV alone, 2/8 on ZDV + rHuIFN-α, and 1/8 on ZDV + 3TC), 2 cats presented with anorexia (2/8 on ZDV + 3TC), and 2 cats with anemia (1/8 on ZDV + Valp, and 1/8 on ZDV + 3TC). These clinical signs were likely treatment-related side-effects. Accordingly, a rapid improvement was observed in response to therapeutic interventions and the withdrawal of treatment was not necessary.
In recent years, many antiretroviral drugs have been shown to be effective in cats infected experimentally with FIV and have demonstrated a low toxicity. However there are few clinical trials that have studied the effects of antiretroviral drugs throughout the course of chronic infection, this being significant considering that long-term combination treatment would make it possible to decrease the prevalence of mutations and drug resistance [
It is also critical that the antiretroviral therapy is administered to the cat in the later stages of the "asymptomatic" phase of infection, during which the cat may be displaying either no or limited clinical signs of disease. This is because at this stage of the disease, the immune system of the cat is relatively normal and thus may be more likely to respond to treatment. When the CD4+/CD8+ ratio falls below 0.9, the viral load increases markedly and clinical signs of immunosuppression begin to appear; cats are considered to be in the late phase of the "asymptomatic" stage and treatment must then be started.
In the present work, no significant differences were observed between the viral loads and the CD4+/CD8+ ratios of each of the study groups prior to treatment (
A significant increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio in the ZDV group was observed, consistent with previous findings [
No significant differences were observed in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio and viral load within the ZDV + Valp group. In theory, the use of valproic acid in combination with ZDV should prove beneficial as valproic acid may activate latent proviruses, thus allowing the elimination of viral reservoirs by ZDV [
IFN is used in a limited number of patients infected with HIV in which the disease is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma or hepatitis C [
A single study has suggested that low-dose rHuIFN-α treatment may significantly prolong the survival of FIV-infected cats and may bring about a rapid improvement of the disease [
Electrophysiological parameters suggested a slowing-down of nervous transmission, as revealed by changes to latencies, amplitudes and an increase in the time of central conduction. These findings could be the result of the lymphoproliferative reaction induced by virus activity in the CNS [
Neither ZDV alone nor ZDV + 3TC showed changes in either neurological signs or in VEP and AEP. This may reflect the poor penetration of these antiviral drugs into the CNS [
Throughout the one year of evaluation, very few therapeutic side effects were noted, most likely because the cats selected for study had near normal CD4+/CD8+ ratios at the beginning of the study. When cats are in poor health, they are more likely to suffer side effects of the therapy. However it is possible that the low incidence of side effects was related to strict dose control and the permanent follow-up of the patients.
Thirty-two cats, between 6–10 years, with naturally acquired FIV infection were enrolled in the study. Forty-six percent were female, 56% were male, 80% of mixed breed, 20% of several pure breeds and all of them were owned, indoor cats. Anti-FIV antibodies were detected using an available commercial diagnostic kit for FIV antibody and FeLV antigen (
At the beginning of the study, all animals were healthy, displaying only occasional and mild clinical signs including gingivitis, lymphadenopathy and hyperglobulinemia. The cats were evaluated every two months from two to five years before the study by physical examination and by usual laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, assessment of opportunistic infections, ultrasonography and X-Ray). Viral loads of all cats were quantified once a year, while the CD4+/CD8+ ratio was calculated every four months. Cats were considered to be in the late phase of the "asymptomatic" stage and the treatment was started when the CD4+/CD8+ ratio reached 0.9, as at this stage of infection, the viral load increased markedly and clinical signs of immunosuppression began to appear.
The following opportunistic agents were evaluated:
ZDV group: eight cats received treatment with Zidovudine, 5 mg/kg/12 h, oral, during one year.
ZDV + rHuIFN: eight cats treated with Zidovudine and rHuIFNα, 1 mU/Kg/ SC/ 24 h, 3 cycles every one week, one month apart.
ZDV + Valp: eight cats treated with Zidovudine and valproic acid 15 mg/kg/24 h.
ZDV + 3TC: eight cats treated with Zidovudine and 3TC 25 mg/kg/12 h/year.
The follow-up of the treated cats was performed with periodic physical examination and the usual laboratory tests during the following 12 months. In all groups, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and viral load were enumerated while VEP and AEP determinations were performed at the beginning of the study and after one year.
The initial FIV diagnosis was performed using a commercially available immunochromatographic test kit (
Blood samples were collected using an EDTA anticoagulant. The mononuclear layer was separated with Histopaque (Sigma Diagnostics) and marked with monoclonal antibody to the CD4 antigen (fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated mouse anti-cat CD4-FITC, Abd Serotec) and CD8 antigen (phycoerithrin (PE)-conjugated mouse anti-feline CD8αβ-RPE). The samples were analyzed in a flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson FACScalibur, Becton Dickinson Biosciences) in the Cassará Laboratory (Buenos Aires, Argentina). The ratio was considered as having decreased when it reached < 0.9. The CD4+/CD8+ ratio was measured at the beginning and end of the study in the four groups.
In order to evaluate VL, we used a previously described technique [
Electrical potentials produced in response to auditory stimulation are called auditory evoked potentials (AEP). The principal means of assessing auditory function in animals is the brain stem auditory evoked response (AEP). Short duration auditory stimuli, such as clicks and responses are recorded by electrodes. AEP may be used to assess lesions in the brain stem. In FIV-infected cats, AEP present diminished waves and increased latencies and this indicates a central conduction defect.
In contrast, the light stimulus produces cortical responses that are referred to as visual evoked potentials (VEP). The most common alteration in the VEP is a decrease of the P100 wave amplitude and a prolonged latency in cats naturally infected with FIV.
AEP and VEP were evaluated by the Service of Electrophysiology at the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital of the University of Buenos Aires with an ATI, Nautilus equipment. Both determinations are used routinely by this service and have been standardized since 1999 [
The VEP, using sub-dermal needle electrodes, were recorded between Oz (midline of the nuchal crest, positive electrode) and Fpz (midline, just caudal to the eyes, negative electrode), with ground at Cz (vertex). The stimulus is provided by stroboscopic flashes. The registers were recorded in the dark with dark adaptation (e.g., 15 minutes). No sedative drugs or mydriatics were used. These potentials are important in distinguishing between visual problems produced by eye disorders due to lesions in the visual pathway distal to the eye. Normal values: latency to 100 milliseconds (msec.).
The AEP were obtained using sub-dermal needle electrodes placed over the vertex (negative) and just rostral to the base of each ear. Each electrode was used as a reference for an ispilateral recording, while the other was grounded. These electrical potentials are produced in response to auditory stimulation. All recordings were obtained without sedation. Short duration auditory stimuli (80 dB), such as clicks, and the responses were recorded with sub-dermal needle electrodes. The value of the normal central time of conduction was until 4–8 msec.
Results were expressed as median and range, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Statistical analyses were performed using non-parametric ANOVA (Kruskal Wallis) followed by Dunn's test. The comparative analysis intra group (pre-treatment
The study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and the Secretary of Science and Techniques of the aforementioned University (UBACyT) fulfilling the national laws on experiments with animals. The cat's owners gave their signed consent for the participation of their animals in this study.
Both ZDV alone and the combined therapy ZDV + 3TC were well tolerated in cats with minimal side effects. Although both therapies were effective at improving the CD4+/CD8+ ratio and inducing a decrease in viral load in comparison to the other treatment combinations, cats treated with ZDV + 3TC showed a greater decrease in viral load than those treated with ZDV alone. Therefore, the combination ZDV + 3TC could be more effective than the use of ZDV alone. The results from the evoked potential analyses revealed a high incidence of neurological alterations, without evident clinical signs. A worsening of neurological signs was observed in the ZDV + rHuIFNα treated group, whereas in the ZDV + Valp treated cats there were improvements in neurological signs. Taken together, the results presented here suggest that the combination of ZDV + 3TC is an effective treatment for FIV-infected cats in the late phase of the "asymptomatic" stage of infection and may prevent the manifestation of the feline AIDS stage.

RHRC: "The Launch of "Women Under Siege:" A Journalistic Megaphone For Victims of Sexual Violence
February 8, 2012
Jessica Mack on RH Reality Check
This week, Norma Andrade, a well-known women's rights activist in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was attacked. Her face was slashed as she walked her grandchild to school in Mexico City, just two months after she survived being shot near her home. Andrade's offense that has drawn such violence against her? In 2001, she founded May Our Daughters Return Home after one of her daughters was killed – a crime that remains unsolved.
Femicide and violence against women have reached epic proportions in Mexico and Central America, making the reality very near impossible to ignore. In December, the Peace Corps made the decision to pull volunteers out of El Salvador, and to stop sending new volunteers to Guatemala and Honduras – a strong statement on just how bad things have gotten.
Last month, the Nobel Women's Initiative led a delegation of 20 journalists and advocates – including Nobel Laureates Rigoberta Menchu and Jody Williams – to Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico to meet women like Norma Andrade and many others, with stories of sexualized violence and abuse, and names far less known.The group held press conferences and meetings, hosted by local women's rights groups, to bear witness to the pain and suffering, but also the fierce efforts of activists there (defensoras) working to counteract what must seem like a tidal wave of odds against them. "Our purpose was really to listen," says Lauren Wolfe, a member of the delegation. "In each country, we meet with about 50 women, and listened to their stories of their own rapes, of their sisters' murders, or their family members' disappearances."
For these women to risk their safety to attend these meetings, the importance of simply telling their stories must have been tremendous. Nearly all asked that their names and images not be used, and some requested that, even despite anonymity, their stories not be repeated for fear of repercussions, says Wolfe. One woman was beaten by police upon approaching the gathering, and showed up with a black eye. As she left, Wolfe said, she was again picked up by the police and thrown in jail. The freedom to speak about abuses is in as much jeopardy as women's rights themselves.
While many of the stories gathered can be found on the Nobel Women's Initiative website, many will find a home at Women Under Siege, a brand new initiative launched today, which Wolfe will direct. An innovative effort of the Women's Media Center, Women Under Siege aims to broadly publicize – in the hopes of combating – violence against women, serving as a megaphone for the voices of survivors themselves and a clearinghouse for their recorded experiences. It will feature personal accounts from the likes of photojournalist Lynsey Addario, reporter Lara Logan, and survivors from Bangladesh to Bosnia, and Darfur to Democratic Republic of Congo.

I'm sure many of you have seen the recent NFL commercials promoting "Play 60" (http://www.nflrush.com/play60/), but have you thought about what the meaning and importance of this message is for children and adolescents? The NFL Play 60 campaign is enforcing the physical activity recommendations for children and adolescents, which is 60 minutes (1 hour) of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. These 60 minutes can make a great difference in academic and athletic performance, weight status and overall health of an individual, thus are very crucial to children and adolescents.
Sixty minutes may seem like a lot, but really it is easier than you think for children and adolescents to meet this recommendation. Can the time children spend watching television, playing video games or computing be limited and replaced with physical activity? These 60 minutes don't have to be done in one bout; activity can be spread into multiple bouts throughout the day. For example, three 20 minute bouts of activity will fulfill the 60 minute recommendation for children and adolescents.
For children, there are three types of activities that should make up their 60 minutes of activity each day: aerobic activities, muscle strengthening activities and bone strengthening activities.
• Aerobic: This type of activity should make up most of children's 60 minutes of physical activity each day! Some examples of aerobic activities include running, brisk walking, playing soccer, basketball and dancing.
• Muscle Strengthening: Muscle strengthening activities should be included at least 3 days per week as part of the 60 minutes or more of play. Examples include gymnastics, push-ups, sit-ups, swinging and tree climbing.
• Bone Strengthening: Bone strengthening activities should be included at least 3 days per week as part of a child's 60 or more minutes of play. Examples include jumping rope, running, hopping, skipping and gymnastics.
Many activities will fall under more than one of the three types of activities listed above. For instance, gymnastics can be an aerobic, muscle strengthening and bone strengthening activity, and running is both an aerobic and bone strengthening activity. Physical activity is an essential component to any healthy lifestyle for people of any age. Along with a healthy diet, physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, increase muscle and bone strength, reduce the risk of obesity and also decrease the risk for cardiovascular and metabolic problems.
Children should be encouraged to participate in a variety of activities to keep them interested and to help discover their interests. It is important that physical activity be thought of as something that is fun! This will help children develop a lifelong habit of physical activity, as well as a constant interest in being active. Opportunities and choices for physical activity are endless, with running, biking, walking, skiing, swinging, skipping, playing basketball, rock climbing and jumping rope all being possible options! For more information about getting children active, visit the Center for Disease Control (http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/getactive/children.html) or the Let's Move (http://www.letsmove.gov/get-active) websites.

Minister Rejects Criticism over NZ Refugee Record
Hon Michael Woodhouse
Minister of
11 April 2013 Media Statement
Minister Rejects Criticism over NZ Refugee Record
Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse is rejecting criticism that New Zealand isn't pulling its weight in resettling international refugees.
His comments follow claims by Amnesty International that New Zealand's contribution to resettling refuges is "tiny" and that New Zealand is part of the problem, not solution, in dealing with people smuggling and mass arrivals.
"New Zealand is rightly proud of its contribution over the years to providing solutions to the world's refugee problem," Mr Woodhouse says.
"Since we began resettling young Polish refugees in 1944 approximately 33,000 refugees have been given the opportunity to seek a brighter future here.
"We are a small nation, and New Zealanders from around the country have warmly accepted a significant number of refugees into their communities over the years.
"In fact, we have one of the highest refugee intakes per head of population in the world, and to be criticised for accepting 750 refugees every year does the country a disservice.
"New Zealand is one of only a small number of countries that takes part in UNHCR's regular refugee resettlement programme and the part we played was recognised as a model of best international practice by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees during a recent visit to New Zealand."
Mr Woodhouse says that the whole- of-government Refugee Resettlement Strategy launched last December is aimed at delivering better outcomes for refugees settling in New Zealand
"This Strategy reflects the importance the Government places on refugee resettlement and helping refugees adapt to life in New Zealand as quickly as possible. It was formed with considerable input from refugee and community groups who have warmly welcomed the Strategy."
Mr Woodhouse says that this week's events in Western Australia show that New Zealand is a target for dangerous and illegal mass arrivals by boat and the Government makes no excuses for being fully prepared for such an event.
"These operations are driven by people smugglers who take large sums of money for putting the lives of very vulnerable people, including children, at risk."

Creepy Canadian Dentist Has Plans to Clone John Lennon
Michael Zuk is just your average Canadian dentist with one simple ambition: to clone John Lennon using DNA extracted from the late singer's rotten molar...and then raise the clone as his own son!
Zuk purchased the molar last summer and is anxiously waiting for technology to catch up to his plans. We all know the best rock music is born of quaint, modest childhoods followed by clean and wholesome musical scholarship. Thus, Zuk assured UK's Channel 4 he would raise the Lennon Clone to be a musician like its original--just one with a healthier lifestyle.
"He would still be his exact duplicate but you know, hopefully keep him away from drugs and cigarettes, that kind of thing." Zuk reckons the DNA could be worth millions if sequenced. We'll just have to wait and see.

It's hard to critique the second episode of most television shows. Like the pilot, their primary goal is often just to get more people watching, but they also need to give some indication of where the show could be headed.

The University of Ottawa is scrapping its men's varsity hockey program for the entire 2014-15 season after an independent investigator found some players engaged in "unacceptable" behaviour during a road trip to Thunder Bay that sparked an allegation of sexual assault.
The university also dismissed head coach Réal Paiement, noting he was not involved in the alleged incident but failed to report it to the university.
"We know enough to say that what happened there was unacceptable," university president Allan Rock told reporters. "So we're shutting down the program, the coach is being replaced, we're putting new policies and processes in place and moving forward with a new program."
Several hockey players who were not involved in the alleged assault are considering suing the university for defamation, said lawyer Lawrence Greenspon. "You've defamed them, you've put their hockey careers and their university careers on hold and they're suffering," he said.
Mr. Rock said the university's response – which comes after an internal review of its policies and procedures, including interviews relating to the alleged events – is separate from a police investigation.
"It's not up to the university to determine who is innocent and who is not innocent," he said. "We are not the police, nor are we a criminal court. We will let the police carry out their investigation in Thunder Bay and allow them to draw their own conclusions about the actual acts that were committed," he said.
Police in Thunder Bay said their investigation recently concluded and an announcement on the case is expected within a few weeks.
"We're currently reviewing the investigative file with the Crown," said spokesman Chris Adams.
While the University of Ottawa released an evaluation of its sports policies and procedures, it is not making public the findings of independent investigator Steven Gaon, who conducted interviews, citing the police investigation as well as privacy considerations.
"Gaon's findings reveal that while the events in Thunder Bay represented an isolated incident, the behaviour of some players was unacceptable, did not reflect the University's values and failed to meet the University's expectations of its student-athletes," the university said in a press release.
In addition, the U of O is implementing new policies and behaviour guidelines for student athletes.
The university suspended its men's hockey team after learning of the alleged assault from a third party on Feb. 24.
The incident, along with allegations of excessive drinking, is believed to have taken place during a team trip to Thunder Bay for two games against Lakehead University on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.
The University of Ottawa's website says Mr. Paiement has been head coach of the men's team since 2011. He is a former head coach of the Canadian junior team and was named coach of the year in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 2002.
Mr. Rock, the U of O president, also said he realizes that some innocent players have been tarred by the scandal.
"I am very much aware that for those members of our hockey team who were not in Thunder Bay, and for those who were present but took no part in the alleged events, this has been an especially difficult time." he said.
"The shadow cast by the allegations of misconduct has affected all members of the team, some unfairly."
But the university, too, is caught in the middle and wait for the results of the police investigation, "hoping that when it concludes, that will add greater clarity."

First and foremost...I'd just like to add that though I may live in japan...I am not Japanese! And with that clarification I can weed out all you guys looking to hook up with a Japanese girl!!! Lol
All I can really say is that with age and experience, I'd like to think I've become more refined, more assured of what I'm looking for and the people I allow into my life...particularily my private life!! Can't stand the games and b.s.- I love when a guy can tell me what he wants and what he's thinking, even if it's not what I want to hear!
I'd like to think I'm pretty patient and have been through enough to realize that i won't settle for nothing but the best! Hopefully the path to the best isn't too bumpy!!!!
I'm a rather quiet and mysterious person when it comes to my private life, But on a social lighter level very outgoing and loud! (yeah I know sounds strange to me too)
Physically...ummm...I don't really know...you tell me!!!

Washington, D.C.—Dozens of patients and their families joined Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Members of Congress today as they enrolled a bill that offers real hope to millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions by greatly expanding scientists' access to embryonic stem cell lines. The House passed the bill today after the Senate did so in April.
"Our bill expands research on stem cell lines that would otherwise be discarded, acknowledges the important ethical issues at stake and enacts stronger research guidelines than exist in the President's current policy. And because we believe that all forms of promising research should move forward, our legislation includes a provision that supports the advancement of alternative forms of stem cell research," said Reid. "Countless Americans have been diagnosed with cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries and other diseases since President Bush vetoed this legislation a year ago. Democrats and Republicans did the right thing by passing this bill again, and it is not too late for the President to do the right thing as well."
"Every family in America is just one diagnosis, one phone call, or one accident away from needing the benefits of embryonic stem cell research. Science has the potential to answer the prayers of America's families," Pelosi said. "Today we sign this legislation, which passed both Houses of Congress with broad bipartisan support, in order to find cures, save lives, and give hope."

Hi all,
I'm hoping to find some answers here. My hubby and I both work from home full time. We have a 4 month old little boy who is starting to move around on his own and really require more attention.
Does anyone have any experience with this? He's not quite old enough to be occupied with an activity, but he can entertain himself for 15-20 minutes or so at a time on a mat.
I am just looking for tips on what our strategy can be, so that we aren't neglecting our little guy, but also able to get our work done. It's not really possible for either of us to work any less than full time currently. My husband can maybe get by with a little less, but then usually spends time working outside or on the house in some way.
Any thoughts are appreciated!!
Loving life with our new little guy, joined us 4/11
I'm hoping at least one of you has flexible hours -- if not, I'm not sure how you could sustain this long-term without hiring a nanny or something. It's easiest for the first 6mos or so... then they get so much more active & need more stimulation & get into everything and it's just a whole lot harder -- pretty much impossible once they are toddlers if you can't hire someone to help or work while the kid sleeps (which, in my case, means I'm only sleeping about 6 hours a night on a good night!)
If both of you can work a large chunk of time while the baby's asleep for the night, that would cut down drastically on the hours you need to squeeze in later. So depending on your baby's schedule, maybe both work from 8pm-midnight, or 5am-9am, something like that. Then you each need to fit in only about 20 hours more... so then one of you could work mornings & the other, afternoons, while the other watches the baby. Then you'd still have a few hours in the early evening for more leisurely family time.
You could also just alternate shifts -- i.e. one of you does 6am-2pm, the other, 2pm-10pm. The plus side if this is that it's not dependent on your baby sleeping well (can be really stressful if baby wakes up 3 hours too early one day!) The down side is, you'll be in the same house all day but spend hardly any quality time together (except weekends).
Anyway, hope something like that will work for you. Other things that help me (my DS is now 2.5yo): I have a laptop on a stand that I use in bed. DS won't sleep unless I'm right beside him, so this way I can get my hours in without leaving his side. I can also comfortably nurse him/comfort/keep him asleep while I'm working. Having a proper, somewhat ergonomic setup (I use a lot of pillows, boppy, etc. in combination to be comfortable) is important so you don't end up in chronic pain from nursing while working or whatever. When DS wakes up too early, we sit together & cuddle & listen to music on the laptop while I finish up my work. We also have the entire room I work in baby-proofed & totally safe (less important now, but critical from about 6-18mos!) so he can play a bit without me worrying about him.
I agree that split shifts are a good idea. We have a sitter for several days a week for our kids but if we didn't that'd be the only option I think would be feasible.
Mama to DS (6/07) , DD (6/09) , and DD (07/12) ..

To The Editor:
More than a century ago Rep. Willard Duncan Vandiver concisely captured Missouri's political sensibility, telling a crowd in Philadelphia that "frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me." Indeed, the Show-Me State has a long reputation for its no-nonsense worldview, but these days, the state is gaining another reputation — as an economic laggard.
When Rep. Vandiver was in office, Missouri had 16 representatives in Congress; today, we have only eight, a testament to the state's languishing population growth and declining economic fortunes. The state is now ranked 48th in GDP growth and 46th in employment growth nationally, and just last week, an Investor's Business Daily analysis found that Missouri is the worst-performing "red state" in the country … and the only red state in the bottom 10 of economic performers. (Missouri placed 42nd overall; often-ridiculed California placed … 43rd.)
If Missouri is a "red state," it certainly isn't behaving like one — at least not yet. Missouri needs pro-growth, pro-market reforms that empower individuals to take control of their paychecks, their health care, and their children's education. Our political leaders say they are prepared to make tough decisions to get the state out of its economic doldrums, but I'll only believe it when I see it.
Policymakers will have to actually "show me," and you, that they mean business through action, not continued "frothy eloquence." Given the state's economic performance and abiding legislative intransigence, there is reason to doubt that commitment.

May 5, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterBoth projects are proposed to take place on BLM land in greater sage grouse core area.
Two projects in the Bison Basin oil field are seeking a green light from the Bureau of Land Management's Lander Field Office.
Bison Basin is about 20 miles south of Sweetwater Station on the Fremont County side of the border with Sweetwater County.
Denver-based Richardson Operating Company is behind the first application to drill new wells, according to BLM documents.
Dawson Geophysical Company of Texas is seeking the second permit to perform a geophysical survey for Richardson Operating.
The Lander Field Office is in the midst of developing environmental assessments of both projects.
A scoping notice stated the first permit would allow a nine-well steam injection project, and the second is for a three-dimensional seismic geophysical survey in the same area.
Both projects are proposed to take place on BLM land in greater sage grouse core area. Development in the core area is subject to regulation under an executive order from Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead.
The first project would inject steam into an oil field to heat the viscous liquid making it more runny and increasing pressure on the fuel.
Both effects allow it to be extracted more easily.
This technique is used to draw more oil from an old field, called a secondary recovery.
The project would use an existing steam facility but willinclude nine new wells and generate new drill pads, access roads and pipelines. The project is expected to last 20 years.
The scoping notice said the geophysical survey will examine the subsurface geologic structure under 15.5 square miles of BLM administered surface and should last about six months.
To conduct the survey, eight 62,000-pound trucks will travel cross country to send vibrations into the ground. Seismographs will pick up shockwaves reflected back from subsurface layers.
In the scoping notice, BLM has identified several areas of concern, including impacts to sage grouse and other animal habitat, to water above and below ground, and to air quality and vegetation.
The Lander Field Office is also in the process of permitting other hydrocarbon drilling projects: a 228-well natural gas development in the Beaver Creek area nine miles southeast of Riverton and the 4,250-well oil and gas Moneta Divide project on the Natrona County line.
A similar project to the Bison Basin nine-well development received a permit last summer.
The Lander Field Office permitted 10 new wells and pieces of infrastructure in the Grieve Unit 53 miles west of Casper so Elk Petroleum could inject water and carbon dioxide into an old oil field, allowing it to produce more fuel.
Approval for that project took two years.

150-Year-Old Diary Brings Westminster History To Life
07/06/10 6:34AM By Susan Keese
| Download MP3
(Host) Westminster is a sleepy, rural town, with broad flat fields bordering the Connecticut River.
A hundred-fifty years ago, it was busier, with a respected boarding school and lots of stores. A newly published journal and exhibit brings the Westminster of that era to life through the eyes of a 17-year-old girl.
VPR's Susan Keese has the story.
(Keese) Fannie Grout was a Westminster girl who moved away after she married at the outset of the Civil War. The town had little record of her until her journal turned up in a group of papers bought by a man from Petersham, Massachusetts. He was researching the family Fannie married into.(Caggiano) "And he sent it ... to our society and he said, 'Would you like it?' And of course, I said, 'Yes, please.'"
(Keese) Standing in the Westminster Historical Society Museum, one flight up from the town hall, Alice Caggiano recalls getting her hands on the journal for the first time.
(Caggiano) "And I started to read it and I could not put it down. And I said, 'This is part of our history. We have to have this transcribed so people can pick it up and read it.'"
(Keese) In the end, Caggiano transcribed the diary herself. Racheal Scott agreed to proofread - and she also fell in love with the bright, busy girl who started the journal on Sunday evening, November 18, 1855.
(Scott reads) "Today is my 17th birthday and for the first time I have commenced writing a journal....I think it is important to write something every day, for it learns us in writing as well as composition."
(Keese) Scott thinks Fannie's life will be surprising to people growing up in Westminster now.
The town was a busy train stop in the mid-19th century.
(Scott) "And Fannie writes a lot about the train. She refers to it as 'The Cars.' And it stopped not far from her home."
(Keese) The Westminster Seminary, still standing, was a magnet for high school-aged students from all over New England. Fannie's family took in boarders attending or working at the school.
Scott says there were lectures, socials, prayer meetings and lots of visiting among relatives and friends.
(Scott) "This girl had some social life! She goes to the lyceum almost every night, visits her girlfriends all the time... they have sewing groups."
(Caggiano) "Singing groups."
(Keese) Caggiano reads an entry from Christmas Eve, 1855.
(Caggiano) "The bell is ringing for nine o'clock and this evening has seemed very short... I went down to see Nellie a few minutes and then down to Stella's, and from there to the sing at the school room with Ella and Stella. Oh! It was a great sing... After it was over I went with Mrs. John Mays to come home with mother. It is very icy now. T'would be real nice to go out and slide on a moon shiny night!"
(Keese) The journal only goes through June of 1856. That spring, Fannie takes the test to become a teacher.
Scott and Caggiano say they loved reading about Fannie's preparations for her first job, and watching as she changes from a school girl to a teacher.
This summer, the Westminster Museum has put together an exhibit that illustrates what Fannie's life was like.
Unfortunately, there are no pictures of Fannie Grout - except for the very vivid image her writings provide.For VPR News, I'm Susan Keese.

Doctor insights on:
Hibiscus Syriacus
Hi all I had been drinking hibiscus tea for 3 days , 3cups a day , and I felt slight giddy each time I finish , what does it tell ?
Giddy: The first thing to do is to stop drinking three cups of hibiscus tea a day for about a week. If you stop having the symptoms you will no how to proceed. If the symptoms do not go away it is unlikely related to hibiscus tea and you should see your doctor for evaluation and management. ...Read more

Can my husband drink Hibiscus Tea if he is on Warfarin. He take 5mg. daily. His INR has to be 2.0 to 3.0...Thank you?
Not sure: I couldn't find anything specifically about HIBISCUS tea, but tea in general can both antagonize warfarin (lower the INR) and also promote bleeding by interfering with platelet function which won't show up in the INR. That said, I'll bet a lot of people on warfarin drink tea, so if he loves tea, I'd say use it cautiously and monitor the INR. ...Read more
I drank hibiscus tea and felt nauseaus after. I wanted to vomit and so I did. I felt better instantly. Is that just my body's way of releasing toxins or should I be worried?
Don't be worried: because your body took care of the issue. Hibiscus tea is quite safe, even has some health benefits like reducing blood pressure. Plus, it's tasty! But maybe your body is saying you don't like it, or there was something else in it that didn't agree with you. I wouldn't worry too much about toxins being involved at all. ...Read more

NO: Proven , right medications under your doctor can lower your blood pressure , prevent complications , like stroke , heart attack etc , please your doctor and take hibiscus tea as health supplement. ...Read more

If green tea can help prevent glaucoma, would teas like hibiscus also have this effect, since it has many antioxidants?
Wrong assumption: Green tea has been promoted as a palliative, even a cure, for multiple disease states. There is no evidence for its effectiveness in any of these conditions. That includes glaucoma. So a false assumption, that it can prevent glaucoma, then becomes expanded into - herbal teas and anything containing antioxidants as a curative. All of these need clinical testing; so far none are cures. ...Read more

Bent connected with Jerome Thomas' exquisite cross to send a deft glancing header into the bottom corner.
Then a combination of superb keeping from Carson, and a large portion of luck, helped Charlton keep out City.
Carson made breathtaking stops to deny Georgios Samaras and Bernardo Corradi, while Hatem Trabelsi hit the post.
But Charlton were not without chances of their own, with Andy Reid and Bent causing the City defence numerous problems.
Late in the second half, Bent could have doubled the hosts' advantage but sliced his volley wide.
And in the dying stages, Bent provided the perfect cross for substitute Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to seal victory, but his diving header drifted wide.
Earlier, Reid was impressive in the first half, frequently going on mazy runs and whipping in a couple of teasing crosses.
And in an open game, City also had plenty of chances to get in the scoresheet - only Carson's excellence and some misfortune prevented it.
Micah Richards will feel particularly hard done by after he twice went close with headers.
The first, on 26 minutes, looked to be sneaking in at the near post but was deflected round the post by the legs of Thomas, who was in mid-air at the time and likely knew little about it.
Richards almost brought City level 30 minutes later, but again he saw his header blocked by legs - this time it was Carson who stretched out to divert the effort.
In between those chances, Bent had nodded Charlton ahead - just at the time when they had been under most pressure.
And they held that lead with some dogged defending - and a heroic display from Carson.
He dived full length to palm away a stinging Georgios Samaras volley at the end of the first half, and was equally impressive when he turned away Corradi's second-half header.
City came agonising close to levelling in the final seconds when Trevor Sinclair's shot almost fell to Darius Vassell.
It was one of those days for City, who probably would not have scored had the goals been the size of a county.
And if they had equalised it would have been harsh on Charlton - and Carson in particular.
"Luckily we got through it and it is a big relief. After the good result at Newcastle last week we needed to reaffirm things and I think we did.
"This result is a big boost for us and I am very pleased."
"If we had done that today we would probably have won comfortably but to be fair Charlton defended well.
"It was typical of our luck when Hatem Trabelsi's shot hit the inside of a post and bounced to the keeper."
Charlton: Carson, Young, El Karkouri, Diawara, Hreidarsson, Rommedahl (Hughes 46), Faye, Holland, Reid (Hasselbaink 87), Thomas, Darren Bent. Subs Not Used: Andersen, Kishishev, Marcus Bent.

I have heard that a very famous, glamorous, Hollywood actress went to a studio for her photograph. The photograph had been taken the day before. The photographer presented the photograph to her, but she was annoyed, furious. She said, "What have you done? You have taken my photographs before and they were heavenly!" The photographer said to the actress, "Yes, but you have forgotten that I was twelve years younger when I took your photographs. I was twelve years younger, you forget that."
We never look within at what is happening. If the photograph is not okay to you, something is wrong with the photographer. It is not that twelve years have passed and you are older - it is an inner process, the photographer is not concerned at all. But the photographer must have been a very wise man! He said, "You forget that I was twelve years younger then."
Buddha's love is totally different, but we don't have any other word for it. The best that we have is love. But, if you can remember this, then the quality changes completely.
And note one thing, think about it deeply. If Buddha is your lover, will you be satisfied? You will not be. Because you will feel that it is cold, that there is no passion in it. You will feel that he loves you as he loves everyone - you are nothing special. You will feel that his love is not a gift - he is this way, that is why he is loving.
You will feel his love to be so natural that you will not be satisfied with it. Think inside. You cannot be satisfied with a love which is without hate. And you cannot be satisfied with a love which is with hate. This is the problem. Either way you will be unsatisfied. If love is with hate, you will be unsatisfied, always ill, because the hate part will disturb you. If love is without hate, you will feel that it is cold. And it is happening to Buddha so naturally that even if you were not there it would be happening - so it is nothing special for you. So your ego will feel unsatisfied. And it is my feeling that if you have a buddha or a non-buddha to choose as your lover, you will choose the non-buddha.because you can understand his language. The non-buddha is at least just like you. You will be fighting, you will be quarreling, the whole thing will be just a mess, a mad mess, but still you will choose a non-buddha. Because Buddha will be so high that you cannot understand the way that Buddha loves unless you rise.
With a non-buddha, with an ignorant person, you need not transform yourself. You can remain the same. He is not a challenge. Really just the contrary happens to lovers. When two lovers meet and fall in love, they both try to convince each other that they are very high. They bring out the best that is within them. They appear to be on the peak. But it takes much arduous effort! You cannot remain on this peak. So when you start settling down you come back down to the earth.

These elegant wristwarmers are decorated with two lace 'cuffs', which overlap to provide warmth and beauty. The cuffs are knitted separately, then sewn onto simple garter stitch tubes which have thumbholes.
It's easier to put them together by wearing the mitts while sewing the cuffs on.
The wonderfully soft and light Lustrous Extrafine Merino DK yarn from Sublime is a merino wool spun with delicate, lustrous metallic threads.
