Vascular & Interventional Radiology Division
Interventional radiologists were early innovators in the development of minimally invasive alternatives to traditional surgical procedures. Among the early advances by interventional radiologists were the invention of angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent to treat peripheral arterial disease. While these advances have since been widely adopted, the spirit of innovation is fundamental to interventional radiology and the specialty remains committed to providing noninvasive and minimally invasive solutions to diagnose and treat disease.
Research in Vascular & Interventional Radiology
In the spirit of innovation which sparked the development of interventional radiology, the Vascular & Interventional Radiology (VIR) Division is dedicated to improving patient care through research. Our research program includes translational research to bring new treatments from the laboratory to clinical practice as well as several ongoing clinical trials. Select clinical trials are listed below:
- The SENTRY Clinical Study
The SENTRY IVC Bioconvertible Filter is designed to provide temporary protection to subjects at transient, high risk of pulmonary embolism. Following conclusion of the protection period, The SENTRY filter bioconverts, and filter arms withdraw towards the IVC wall for incorporation, eliminating the need for retrieval.
- A Pilot Study of "OncozeneTM" Microspheres for Intra-arterial Delivery of Doxorubicin for the Treatment of Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Cancer
- A Phase III Clinical Trial Evaluating TheraSphere in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma of the Liver Who Have Failed First Line Chemotherapy
The effectiveness and safety of TheraSphere will be evaluated in patients with colorectal cancer with metastases in the liver, who are scheduled to receive second line chemotherapy. All patients receive the standard of care chemotherapy with or without the addition of TheraSphere.
Vascular & Interventional Radiology Education
Training the next generation of interventional radiologists is also a priority of the Division and is accomplished through our Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited fellowship program. The Fellowship Program provides three fellows a year a rigorous training program consisting of a high volume of clinical cases which is complemented with a formal didactic program, case-based learning, and journal club discussions. The Fellowship Program is in the process of transitioning to the Interventional Radiology/Diagnostic Radiology (IR/DR) Residency Program and will begin enrollment within the next two years.
Patient Care in Vascular & Interventional Radiology
Our faculty physicians leverage their expertise in imaging to perform procedures through a precise, targeted and minimally-invasive approach to both diagnosis and therapy. This clinical approach reduces patient risk and pain, and significantly shortens recovery times. We perform more than 10,000 procedures per year at William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, Parkland Hospital, and Zale Lipshy University Hospital. We also provide comprehensive clinical service through outpatient clinics, consults, and inpatient care.
Multidisciplinary Approach
The VIR Division works closely and collaboratively with other medical and surgical specialties in a multidisciplinary approach to perform a spectrum of interventions. These procedures include venous access; dialysis access interventions; percutaneous biopsies and drainages; placement of nephrostomy tubes and ureteral stents; placement of biliary drains and stents; embolization of uterine fibroids; angioplasty and stent placement for both arterial and venous occlusive disease; placement and retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters; management of portal hypertension; locoregional therapy of liver, kidney, adrenal and lung cancers with thermal ablation; irreversible electroporation; radioembolization and chemoembolization; and angiography with embolization techniques to treat bleeding.

We just saw the representative today for the erect aid pump. He explained how it worked and said erections do occur with device. My husband is supposed to use it twice a day. I dished out over $500 for it and have to wait to get reimbursed by insurance. It also has a ring that he can put over his penis for sex. My question is-Does this device really work or did I just waste my money?

Pumps really do work, and like everything else, the more expensive ones tend to be better. I haven't used the Erect aid myself, but haven't heard anyone here say bad things about
So no, you haven't wasted your money -- but be prepared to to do lots of practise to master the techniques involved.

I am using the Erectaid system. I am very pleased with it! start out slow and gentle short durations of time and build up. I started with a few minutes three times a day went up to 15-20 minutes once a day. I saw the biggest advances to having spontanious erections after starting the use of the Erectaid system! I still pump every day for at least 10 minutes. You will find that initially when you let the suction off it goes down quickly, the more you practice with it you will be able to maintain longer afterwards without the ring. As far as the rings go.....the rings are for sex...and should be able to maintain a 100% firm erection for no more than 30 minutes. sometimes the erection from a pump can be difficult to use but with practice there you two will get the hang of it.
Good luck and if there is any other questions I can help with just email me away from forum

PLEASE proceed slowly as already said. the VED's are great, but have a very steep learning curve. you will NOT be able to jsut pump up and have sex. You need to use it every day for therapy. After two weeks of daily therapy, THEN you should move to using it for sex. make sure you watch the video. Pumps take lots of practice and are a very viable solution. Most times that men quit usuing them is due to poor training. check out many different web sites for instructions. Franktalk.org has info as well. Educate yourself as much as possible to avoid disappointment or injury.
A pump is a great investment. You did right

I don't think you will be disappointed... I spent $130 on an Osbon and only practiced once before successful sex. It was a huge moral booster and allowed me to gain a bit of confidence back. I was able to graduate to Viagara aftre 2 months on the pump and after 7 months I use nothing, its just like pre surgery.
I can't attribute my success to the pump but I believe it helped. Don't give up, patience and support are required.

I have used the Osbon erectoaid for 9 -10 years.
The VED work good but there is a learning curve - don't pump to fast (5-10sec/pump) so your blood flows
Finding the ring size is important - too loose or too tight both can be a problem and you could need two rings to help.

I think vacuum pumps (VED) are a great aid in trying to regain erectile function. I use bimix, but I also pump regularly to help maintain erectile health. I am glad you are getting some help from your insurance company to defer the cost of the 'erecaid' pump system. I think the $500 price they charge is outrageous.
I paid $65 for my pump four years ago. I bought it online.

I am also considering to the pump. ED shots seem to last too long or not long enough. But with such a price difference I am confused now!!! Not sure if my insurance will pick up any part of the cost even though it can be claimed to be used as therapy. Hope to see some post from other members with some suggestions.

The Osbon pump that is covered by insurance is $525+, and because of distributor squabbles, I appealed the cost got mine covered as in-network, and paid only the shipping/handling fee.
Some cover it as out-of network, so perhaps 70% ?
And as a prescript
ion medical expense, it falls into the deductibles for taxes if one itemizes, as well as FSA/HSA plans.
But it does have a long term warranty, so in theory you don't have to replace it.
I'm not really getting good vibes about
buying that sort of thing on ebay.

I paid about
the same as you.I had already reached my out of pocket money so mine really didn't cost me a thing. Mine is an Encore. It came with a battery and a manual pump. Right now I use mine every day for therapy,which is to prevent scar tissue from forming.

I am three weeks after surgery (DaVinci) and the doctor recommended the Osbon device, since I was impotent before, so he took both nerves. I have the Osbon, but he didn't say when I should start using it. He did say to practice a few times a day, but didn't say when to start that either. Still working on incontinence, too. Any guidelines on when to start using the Osbon?
Diagnosis at 58. PSA 3.1, up from 1.9 the year before. DaVinci prostatectomy June 5, 2013. T2C, Gleason 6 (biopsy said 7, pathology said 6). 19 lymph nodes removed, both seminal vesicles, both nerves, no cancer found outside prostate.

My uro didn't want me to start pump/pills before three months, but Mulhall would have you start at (I don't have the book at hand) just after six weeks (anyone have his book, correct me). My surgeon was not happy with that suggestion, saying healing of the urethra was not "there" yet.
I would say ask your doc a better question. "When?"

I dished out the $524 for the pump. Insurance denied coverage to pay. We have sent in a letter to the appeal board to the insurance company to reconsider payment of the pump.
I can't answer your question if this device really works. Too soon since he just had surgery 4/18/13. My BF just got it; two weeks ago. He had surgery and no nerves spared. His dr says to use twice a day; 5 minutes. My BF said when he tried it. It hurt; pain. So, he says 'he is working on it'.
I have called the dr asking if that is normal for it to hurt? Do any of you guys have an insight on this?

Hello Cowgirl, good to see you back.
Sometimes a note from the surgeon helps with the insurance. Insurance companies don't like to pay for erection aids but will usually pay for a pump to help with rehabilitation after a covered surgery.
The better (approved durable medical device) pumps are designed to limit the vacuum so they won't hurt the user (won't injure him) but they will definitely hurt him (in the ouch, darn it! sense) especially if the user is inexperienced or in a hurry. There are a number of things that can help with the discomfort but the main thing is to go slow. If it is a manual pump he should pump a couple of strokes and then wait a few seconds before the next couple of strokes. If it's electric he should run the pump for a few seconds then wait for results before turning it back on. The idea is to draw blood into the penis which takes some time. Pumping faster just tries to pull the whole package into the tube and that can definitely hurt. He can also try using more or less lube on the tube. More of the (water-based) lubricant will give a better seal but will also make scrotal skin more likely to be pulled in if he hurries.
If he does everything right and things go perfectly... it may still hurt a little bit. At the risk of being a bit graphic, the tube is longer than he is and when he reaches his goal things may stretch uncomfortably. Circumcised men may tend to run out of skin. Most men learn not to mind this pain. It's how you know you have gotten where you need to be -- the burn of success.
Give him time to "work on it". It's frustrating at first.

The Myanmar Foreign Ministry confirmed that Myanmar has arrested eight armed Chinese nationals who are being interrogated in prison. Earlier media reports pointed out that these Chinese nationals appeared to have received military training in Myanmar and are suspects in a murder case.
These 8 Chinese killed one person in another region in Myanmar and escaped in a car. They were arrested near Tamu on the India-Myanmar border early morning on the 25th.
According to a report by English language Eleven Media Group, the police found 8 pieces of light weapon, 1860 bullets, 31 grenades and 3 military daggers.
The arrested driver of the car, Han Lu Lu, told the police that they received military training at a village in the Kokang region that borders China.
The Myanmar Foreign Ministry responded to media inquiries and provided a report to the official New Light of Myanmar last month. The content is identical to the report by the Eleven Media Group. The New Light of Myanmar said the police engaged in chasing the car and arrested the suspects 15 minutes later. The report also claimed that the suspects ran way after killing a military officer in Kokang.
The report did not clarify whether the murder victim was a Myanmar military officer or Kokang militia. The government did not provide such clarification either.
A sheriff at the local criminal investigation told the Eleven Media Group that the 8 suspected are held at a prison in Mandalay. The government has pressed charges according to the immigration law. A special group is investigating the military training the suspects received.
The New Light of Myanmar reported that 3 suspects came from Sichuan province, 2 from Anhui province, and the rest were from Guangxi, Hubei and Guizhou.
Staff of the Chinese Consulate in Mandalay said they had seen the related media reports and are in the process of confirming details with Myanmar officials.
The staff said if the eight suspects had violated Myanmar laws, the consulate could only provide humanitarian assistance.
The Myanmar police did not respond to the email inquiry on the issue by the journalist.

University maintains 'most affordable' status in LouisianaMon, 06/30/2014 - 5:11pm
For the fourth consecutive year, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette has been named the most affordable four-year, public university in Louisiana.
In addition to leading Louisiana as the university with the lowest average net price to attend, it is among the top 10 percent of most affordable four-year public universities in the United States. The average net price was generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grants or scholarships from the total cost of attendance.
UL Lafayette's annual net price to attend was $5,891, with 86 percent of its students receiving grant aid. The national average net price to attend a four-year public university was $11,582.
"The University has retained its affordability while continuing to improve retention and graduation rates. At the same time, the academic preparedness of incoming students reflects strengthened admissions requirements," said Aaron Martin, director of Communications and Marketing at UL Lafayette.
The affordability designation is for the most recent academic year.
Data used by the U.S. Department of Education was reported by institutions for full-time, beginning undergraduate students.
"These lists support our efforts to make college more accessible and to help families make informed decisions on the single most important investment students can make in their own futures," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a press release Monday.

If you are a very well organised person or if you have a job that requires accomplishing a great variety of tasks you surely have heard about Microsoft Outlook, your best friend in organising your e-mails, managing your contacts, planning your meetings and activities and so on. You must be well aware that there are many versions of Outlook available on the market, the most recent one being the Microsoft Outlook 2010.
If you are familiar with MS Outlook 2007, you should expect the 2010 version to bring significant improvements related to the available features and their applicability. And you wouldn't be wrong at all to expect such developments. For instance, the Outlook 2010 brought about entirely new features, such as the ribbon interface for all views. As you may know, the ribbon interface is designed to help you in easily finding the commands you need in order to perform a particular activity. In the 2010 version, the ribbon has replaced the previous menus from the main window and allows you to customize it according to your work style. Also, this version enables a better visualization of your conversations. This visualization eases the track and the management of related messages regardless of their containing folder. You can now see the entire flow of conversations, including the answers, find the most recent answers and to easily determine what is the most important message. In addition, you can synchronize multiple email accounts from different services to Outlook and save your inbox space by turning all your email messages into just a few conversations. The Clean Up feature is responsible for this.
The MS Outlook 2010 also provides enhanced search tools that help you work your way through the never-ending emails, tasks, calendar items or contacts. You can also save time by building multistep tasks that you can execute with just a simple click. For example, you can now send a new mail message to an entire group of people, and it is all thanks to the 2010 Outlook. Also, if you want to stay in touch with the people you care from your business and social circles, this application grants you all the useful informations on them through Windows Live and SharePoint My Site. To sum up, the MS Outlook 2010 has indeed brought important improvements to the older 2007 version and it is a powerful application that can be used by anyone from any work field. This is why a certification on Outlook will definitely look good in your resume.
We are living in an era of communications and we interact with dozens of people, not just at our workplaces but also at home, through social sites. There is no doubt that it is very hard to keep in touch with all of them, especially if you have many email accounts. It is tiring to have to access all these accounts one at a time. It gets you to a point where you just want to isolate yourself. This is where the Outlook can help you. Through this application, with a few clicks you can check all your accounts, manage your contacts and find all you need to find on the people you care about, be they your friends or your co-workers.
On the other hand, if you are a busy business person, you will find that keeping all your appointments, activities and notes in one place ( i.e. Outlook 2010) is much easier than carrying your agenda everywhere and working your way through the countless pages. You can keep it all here: emails, schedules, tasks, contacts, notes, you can even keep your journal. If you are not employed at current time but you have a busy agenda or even if you are just a well organized person you can use Outlook to organize your e-mail and communicate in a more efficient way. Also, if you are looking for a job and have many interviews to attend, Outlook will help you to keep track of them and be sure you don't miss any. You can use it even for daily purposes by creating a note with the to-do list for each day
So if you know it is useful and have the proper skills, why not take a certification on it? You never know when it could come in handy to you. The easiest way to do so is getting an online Microsoft Outlook 2010 Certification, because online certifications are very trustable as long as you choose a reliable provider.
We recommend you to take the online MS Outlook 2010 exam from Brainmeasures.com, the global leader in the field on online certifications. Upon passing the Microsoft Outlook 2010 test you will be granted with a quality certification in this field, so why don't you try?

Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
(Page 2 of 2)
continued Berkman finds it telling that Development Services staff planned to go ahead with the planning commission review even if they failed to convince the city attorney's office to change its position. But change it they must have, for no word of the city attorney view reached Berkman, who spoke against Pacific Coast at the May 17 planning commission meeting. "While I am pleased," Berkman tells me, "that the city attorney agreed with us, I am disappointed and perplexed that we were not informed of this and had to discover the info through a public records request. That information, of course, would have been very powerful at the planning commission hearing."
Why were there no references in the public records materials to the city attorney's change of mind? And why, Berkman wonders, "were there no e-mails back and forth between Development Services staff and Jim Waring? Even if Waring had shown no early interest in Pacific Coast, I had warned him about the project."
In a May 13 e-mail to several city attorney and Development Services staff, property owner Robert Pollack outlined why he thought the city council could not call for changes in the project. In the appeal, he argued, the council's direction allowed the planning commission to "reconsider its [first] decision, but does not preclude the option of returning the same project as the best alternative. Specific language that would preclude use of the same project was not used." Besides, according to the California Environmental Quality Act, "Only the adequacy of the environmental document is being evaluated and city council is not granted the authority to rule on the merits of the project itself." But, asks Berkman, "If that were the case, then what use is an appeal? Nobody would ever file one."
Berkman proposes that the Pacific Coast Office Building project be renamed. " 'Son of Sunroad' fits in the following way," he writes me. "The building is too tall for the location. If it started at the 111-foot elevation it would be compliant at 150 feet, since it's 39 feet tall. However, since it extends to the 200-foot line, it is 50 feet above what is legal. Hence [its violation] is 30 feet higher than the Sunroad 20-foot height violation [for its office building near Montgomery Field]. While there are no airplane hazards, the public is likewise getting shafted due to the open space encroachment.... Another similarity: despite being told to revise plans, the landowner persists with the same plans -- in defiance of city council direction. One positive difference: this [project] has not broken ground."
This summer, the city council will hear another appeal of the planning commission's decision to approve the Pacific Coast Office Building. This time the University Heights Planning Committee and Friends of San Diego will join the four original appellants.

HEBRON, TEXAS (DeWitt County). Hebron was near Farm Road 682 and Bear Creek some fourteen miles southeast of Yoakum in southeastern DeWitt County. The community center consisted of the Hebron Baptist Church, the first Baptist church in the county, established under pastor Wade Holland in 1855, and the Hebron school, which operated from 1856 to about 1888, when it merged with the Bear Creek school. Thereafter the communities of Hebron and Bear Creek were closely associated. The earliest grave in the Hebron Cemetery dates from 1867. The community's church was still active in 1961 and had records available dating from its founding, but by 1984 only the cemetery appeared on the county highway map. As late as 2004 former residents still gathered at the Hebron Cemetery from all over the state on the first Sunday in May for an annual reunion.

Sydney [AAP]
Education minister Christopher Pyne has denied that prime minister Tony Abbott will face a fresh challenge to his leadership following speculation about another looming coup attempt.
'They're just rumours circulating out of the Canberra press gallery, no basis in fact whatsoever, we're getting on with the job this week, there's no suggestion there'll be any kind of motion or leadership change next week,' Mr Pyne told the Nine Network on Friday morning.
'There is a bit of static on the television news last night, that is not a leadership challenge. There will not be a spill motion move next week.
'Two weeks ago, it was a different story and I was quite honest about it.'
The latest rumblings about Mr Abbott's leadership emerged on Thursday night, with Seven News and the ABC reporting that Malcolm Turnbull now has the numbers to topple the prime minister.
But a government insider and close Abbott supporter said Mr Turnbull just didn't have the numbers.
Mr Pyne urged his coalition colleagues to go back to their electorates over the weekend and get on with their jobs.
'Let's keep on doing the things that need to be done,' he added.
Responding to Mr Pyne's comments, Labor infrastructure spokesman Anthony Albanese said Mr Abbott's leadership 'is over'.
'There is a challenge coming,' Mr Albanese told Nine.
'It's a matter of when it happens, how it happens and who replaces him.'
Mr Abbott will be well clear of Canberra on Friday as he tours central Queensland with defence force personnel for disaster relief events.
On Friday afternoon, Mr Abbott heads for New Zealand for talks on security with Prime Minister John Key.
Liberal parliamentary secretary Steve Ciobo said the government was focused on the job at hand – restoring the budget.
'I'm not going to buy into this sort of speculation,' he told ABC Radio.
He dismissed ongoing leadership chatter as 'media hyperventilation'.
Asked if Mr Abbott would still be leader in two weeks, Mr Ciobo said: 'Absolutely'.

Release Date: 1981 |
Album Rating: 3.0This review is shorter than my previous ones, but honestly, there's really not much to say about this album.This Message Edited On 10.27.07
good review. preist albums that ive heard have always been hit or miss for me.
Album Rating: 2.0Judas Priest is the definition of hit or miss. Some of their albums really good like Painkiller, Stained Class, Defenders of the Faith and some of them are utter shit like British Steel, Turbo, Hellbent for Leather, Demolition.
Pretty good review.
In the future, instead of
they could be in any pop song from that time
And the chorus just totally doesn't sound like it's Judas Priest, it just sounds like it's a pop song!
I kinda like the guitar/drum intro, which really gives a 'desert feel'.
Ok review, I don't think I will be checking this album out. Painkiller and Screaming for Vengence are the only JP albums I like.
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks for the comments, and Mikesn, thanks for the tip ;)
Album Rating: 3.0this is actually a fun little jam. I don't love it, but it's tolerable.

Great sound and easy to install
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
We live in a small bungalow home where space is a premium with no room for a large sound system. We just purchased a new state of the art 40" Samsung TV and the Samsung SoundStand synced perfectly with the new TV with terrific sound. Looks great too. I really recommend this product for a small room or a small house.

HUNDREDS of teachers marched through Oxford yesterday as schools across the county were affected by strikes.
Members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) walked out over workload, pay and pensions.
In Oxfordshire, 23 schools were closed, with a further 75 partially closed. The majority of schools – 195 – managed to stay open.
Teachers walked to Bonn Square from the Radcliffe Camera and handed out leaflets explaining the reasons for the one-day strike.
It is the second strike members have taken this academic year, after a walk-out in October.
NUT Oxfordshire spokesman Ed Finch said: "We are really pleased with the turnout.
"I would think we had between 200 and 300 people. People feel very strongly about this."
Gemma Golds, a Year 4 teacher at Larkrise Primary School, said she worked up to 60 hours a week.

IMF Survey: Greece: Reform Agenda Essential for Growth
July 15, 2011
- IMF approves €3.2 billion for Greece
- Restoring competitiveness and growth remain key goals
- Maintaining momentum of reforms is essential for turning economy around
Amid continued market turmoil in Europe, the IMF's Executive Board approved July 8 the disbursement of about €3.2 billion to Greece as part of the three-year lending arrangement that was agreed in May 2010.
According to the IMF's assessment, while the program includes some very difficult measures, reforms have slowly started to deliver results. The economy is rebalancing, and competitiveness is improving. A return to positive economic growth is currently projected for the first half of 2012, with that scenario depending on full implementation of difficult structural reforms.
"Greece's debt sustainability hinges critically on timely and vigorous implementation of the adjustment program, with no margin for slippage, and continued support from European partners and private sector involvement," the IMF's new Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement following a meeting of the Fund's Executive Board.
In an interview, Poul Thomsen, head of the IMF's team, explains what has been achieved so far and discusses the challenges ahead for Greece.
IMF Survey online: The prevailing view in the markets appears to be that political and social support for the program is waning. Will the Greek government be able to deliver on its reform program?
Thomsen: There is no doubt that the program has entered a crucial phase―the part where the tough measures are beginning to take effect, and yet the benefits are not yet manifest in a way that everyone can see and feel. And reforms have slowed down somewhat in the face of intense pressure from some vested interests.
That said, the government deserves credit for persevering with a number of difficult reforms during the past year, and the fact is that the program has up to now delivered most of what it set out to do. The economy is rebalancing, according to the most recent data. Exports have increased by 22 percent, and competitiveness is improving, in part because of a decline in labor costs. Inflation, adjusted for taxes, is running well below the euro zone average.
Greece has also made progress on structural reforms that were unthinkable before. Pension reforms are the most far-reaching that virtually any country has done in one step. Labor market reforms are also very comprehensive, and the government has started opening up closed professions.
On fiscal policy, the authorities have met all quarterly fiscal targets since the start of the program, and continue to do so, most recently those for March 2011. There has been a reduction in the fiscal deficit of more than 5 percent in 2010, an impressive achievement in a country experiencing a severe recession.
IMF Survey online: But there have been problems along the way?
Thomsen: As we have said from the beginning, this is a very ambitious program. With respect to fiscal policy, it proved difficult to control spending at lower levels of government. Mindful of these risks, the government has kept developments under close review, and under-executed the budget at the state level, thereby ensuring that the overall targets were met.
In the medium and long term, however, this is not a viable strategy. Without structural changes to fiscal policy, there is a risk that the budget deficit will become entrenched at 10 percent or more. And without broader-based structural reforms to promote growth, the chances of a recovery by the end of the year or early next year would be diminished.
Responding to this, the government has formulated an impressive fiscal program, which has been approved by Parliament. The targets would see Greece achieve a deficit of 7½ percent of GDP in 2011, and a deficit below 3 percent of GDP by 2014, as required by the Maastricht treaty.
IMF Survey online: Even with these new measures, there is a need for more external financing. What has been agreed?
Thomsen: In light of the current difficult financing circumstances, Greece would be unlikely to regain access to private markets by early 2012, as initially envisaged under the program. The ambitious privatization program that the government has now committed to will help reduce the need for additional financing, but a notable residual gap still remains to be closed through the end of 2013, when the current IMF-supported program is due to expire.
A strategy to address the financing gap has been agreed with the government and its European partners. The modalities are still being worked out, but it will likely involve a combination of voluntary private sector involvement and additional official support from euro area member states.
In a statement on July 11, the 17 finance ministers of the Eurogroup said they recognized the need for a broader and more forward-looking policy response to assist the Greek government in its efforts to bolster debt sustainability. For its part, the IMF said it would continue to work closely with Greece and European partners to support these objectives.
IMF Survey online: Why have reforms to restore growth not yet delivered tangible benefits?
Thomsen: As you know, the government launched an ambitious reform program in 2010, and further reforms have just been approved by the Greek parliament. So there is an ambitious set of reforms, set to continue during the period ahead. These include efforts to address the high tax burden on labor, which discourages hiring, making the judicial system more efficient, and removing barriers to growth in specific sectors.
But we have to recognize that it will take time for these reforms to take hold and yield their full benefits. More broadly, it is also a question of building up a critical mass of reforms and better exploiting potential synergies, for instance between creating investment opportunities through privatization and the opening up of closed professions, and removing red tape that delays potential investment in these sectors.
Finally, one of the challenges facing Greece is that there is a need to strengthen capacity in key ministries and institutions with the skill sets needed to implement the reforms that have been agreed. The government is aware of this issue, and has asked its partners for technical assistance, which we will provide.
IMF Survey online: Greek people are continuing to protest against the economic program. Are the measures too harsh?
Thomsen: This is certainly a very difficult and ambitious program and it is understandable that people are expressing their concern and voicing their views. We have to remember where Greece was before the program even began: facing economic disaster. I think that the majority of people understand that the reforms are necessary to develop a more dynamic and competitive economy that creates jobs and new opportunities.
One other key point: from the beginning, we have stressed that the program needs to be fair and protect the most vulnerable groups of society. Take tax evasion―which everyone knows is pervasive in Greece―as an example. It is absolutely essential to develop a well-functioning tax administration, together with the necessary judicial backing, that is able to hold those accountable that have exploited the weaknesses of the system for years. This is an essential element of the program.
IMF Survey online: Is the debt burden simply too high for Greece to manage on its own?
Thomsen: There has been a strong focus on the debt burden recently, and the Greek authorities and the Europeans are working on a comprehensive solution to manage it and give Greece further breathing space to implement the reforms.
While supporting these efforts, we should not forget the real objective here, which is for Greece to restore growth. Once Greece is on that path, it will be able to reduce debt to sustainable levels. And to return to sustainable growth, Greece's economy needs to become more competitive, and less rigid and protective of vested interests. So it all hinges on the implementation of the economic reform program.

text: On timeframe for concluding negotiations on nuclear pact, On timeframe for concluding negotiations on nuclear pact, Khurshid said the sense of urgency and committment between the two countries on the issue was "very clear". "When we speak on a matter of such high import, to actually put an artificial deadline and say we must complete it within this period would not be appropriate. Obviously, a sense of urgency and purpose would be there and hopefully we would move quite swiftly," he said. "I think these are very important negotiations. Of course, we have done negotiations with other countries successfully on this. So, there is a backdrop available and there are models available," he said. Khurshid underscored the significant contributions made by Australia in nuclear energy sector and non-proliferation. Australia had agreed to start negotiations on a civil nuclear deal with India during the October visit of Prime Minister Julia Gillard to New Delhi. In December 2011, Gillard's Labour Party had overturned its long-standing ban on exporting uranium to India. The country did not sell uranium to India because it is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. PTI SKU PAL

If Charlie Sheen did in fact get the police escort from the airport to his D.C. show Tuesday night as he described on Twitter, the escort broke policy in several ways, according Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier.
Sheen was running about an hour late flying in to Dulles International Airport after a custody hearing in California. On his way from the airport to DAR Constitution Hall for his D.C. "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour date, he tweeted that his police escort was like a woman was being driven to a hospital to deliver a baby. He included a picture of a police car with flashing lights.
Sheen also mentioned the high-speed escort on stage at DAR, Samy K of Hot 99.5's Kane Show told NBC Washington's Chris Gordon.
It was a reimbursable detail conducted by the Special Operations Division, but if Sheen's story is accurate, the detail didn't follow department policy, according to Lanier. Sheen's tardiness did not constitute an emergency, so police lights shouldn't have been activated. Since the airport's out in Virginia, D.C. police shouldn't have been there without a partner agency in the jurisdiction. And proper protocol for getting reimbursable detail approved was not followed, Lanier said.
Generally, police vehicles are used for escort duty only for the president, vice president and visiting heads of state. Sheen doesn't qualify. Other requests can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis but must be approved by an assistant chief, Lanier said.
Internal Affairs is investigating Sheen's escort.

Violence respects neither race nor class but has become the horrific norm in certain Los Angeles neighborhoods. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), statistics notwithstanding, violence has actually increased in pockets throughout South Central Los Angeles, where the population is overwhelmingly Blacks and Latino.
America was born of violence and it is embedded in its history. Unfortunately, Blacks are its prime victims. And even though the nation minimizes and rationalizes the harm inflicted by institutionalized violence, its pernicious imprint is etched in slavery, Jim Crow, and continuing race-based discrimination.
Excessive force and other forms of violence still generally define law enforcement's modus operandi, particularly in dealing with Blacks and the poor in high-poverty areas. Not only are there similarities between 13-year-old Devin Brown's killing in 2005 and numerous other such senseless killings, there is also a disturbing similarity in most high-profile violence-related incidents involving Blacks. Community outrage is typically temporary with little, if any follow-up. Even those who claim to be "fed up and won't take it no more," are rarely involved in sustained follow-up action.
The more notorious examples of The Black community's failing to follow-up in Los Angeles include the following cases; Eula Love, Leonard Deadwyler, Margaret Mitchell, Darryl Miller, Devin Brown, Susie Pena, Matthew Jerome Powell and Inglewood Police killing five reportedly unarmed men roughly within a year. These cases all involve highly questionable, use of deadly force by the cops. Each case caused only temporary anger and expressions of outrage, virtually nothing more.
Clearly, police violence is still a significant problem but practically without exception, cops are in a win-win situation. For example, Devin Brown was shot numerous times by an LAPD officer. Not only was the officer not prosecuted, he was exonerated by a Board of Rights that has final authority in LAPD personnel matters. It should also be noted that the Police Commission found Devin Brown's killing "out of policy" but former police chief William Bratton sided with the Board of Rights, asserting that killing was justified.
Although the federal Consent Decree between the city of Los Angeles and the U.S. Department of Justice has ended, many LAPD officers' traditional practices continue, including a shield of silence that protects and exonerates rogue cops. Chief Bratton back-pedaled on his pledge for greater transparency by supporting redacting (withholding) the names of officers involved in shootings. Bratton concurred with the a City Attorney's interpretation that expanded a court decision pertaining exclusively to documents to include disciplinary hearings; so much for the much heralded "reformer" William Bratton.
California's Police Officers Bill of Rights mandates practically impenetrable protective provisions for every law enforcement officer under an investigation that could lead to punitive action. The Bill of Rights is a blatantly stacked deck that arguably, affords even some dirty cops the right to operate under the cover of law, with virtual immunity from criminal prosecution.
There has been little sustainable focus on violence prevention. Many do not realize, or acknowledge that reducing violence is ultimately the responsibility of the community. Since intervention is by definition, after the fact, there must be an even stronger focus on prevention and on-going collaboration on prevention and intervention efforts.
Very few groups or organizations address either violence prevention or intervention on a sustained basis, although Los Angeles, as in some other metropolitan areas, is now putting considerable emphasis on intervention. The Southern California Cease Fire Committee is an example of an ongoing, positive intervention group. It is an anti-violence coalition made up largely of ex-gang members and concerned others. The Cease Fire Committee provides a safe space for ex-bangers, ex-offenders, families of victims of violence, and practically anyone in need of support resulting from a violence-related situation. (The Community Call to Action and Accountability (CCAA) formed after Devin Brown's killing and was similarly involved and focused on police abuse and violence in the Black community.) These kinds of groups are crucial because their chief purpose is to reduce the violence that ravages so many communities.
Violence in South Central Los Angeles has decreased statistically, but many residents see very little difference. Moreover, conditioned complacency lulls many Blacks into contributing to their own plight which makes strategic unified efforts to reduce violence all the more difficult.
As mentioned earlier, in certain Los Angeles neighborhoods widespread violence continues at crisis levels. As the most victimized, these areas must take the lead in fighting to reduce violence's crippling effects' However, these communities are in dire need of help, they cannot do it alone. The fact is, violence affects everyone and we all have some level of responsibility for its reduction. Complacency, though widespread, should not be an option.

I had an ex who was scared of:
Enclosed spaces
All birds
Fish FFS!
I had an ex who was scared of:
Enclosed spaces
All birds
Fish FFS!
My wife is very scared of insects, which is very odd, because they love her and want to be around her as much as possible. She's pretty much the queen of insects (something I tell her regularly) but she doesn't want to be.
Poor things, being rejected like that by their queen...
Oh, and she's scared of pigeons too.
-Pesto (No Really)
Please explain!
It's a sauce made with basil and pine nuts.
Which meant she actually stopped twiddling with her hair or flashing her stocking tops... the only "work" she ever seemed to do.
Never mind phobias, let's hear a bit more about this.
she's not fond of large dogs or knives, especially when I gesticulate with them whilst talking/cooking.
I think if you gesticulated with a large dog I'd be nervous as well.
scared of: vegetable peelings.
not scared of: spiders.
she's mental!
How does she feel about freshly peeled spiders?
My wife's are simple - spiders and enclosed spaces. But she *can* overcome the fear if around others she doesn't want to 'infect' with her fear but I can see her visibly crumbling as she tries to hide it. Like the time she saw a spider in the car when we had our young nieces in the back. It was *HUGE* she got out calmly and pretended not to be bothered so I could get it from behind the kids heads. Now I am not *scared* of spiders but this one made me think twice about picking it up - I think it could have broken my fingers
Conversely, she didn't give a fig when we had a resident rat in our house, running around the floorboards above our heads when we were in bed, nor any fear of any other insects - she'll happy wrestle a huge bee or wasp out of the house without flinching.
I'm not massively keen on flappy birds/pigeons. There's a bit on my way into work where they stand around waiting for me, and as I get near they take off ON PURPOSE near my head, which makes me squeal a bit.
And cottage cheese. Obvs
Yep Pesto...
She used to like it, I introduced her to the stuff and for about a year she loved it, then one day she was ill, vomitty ill and she'd had pesto earlier in the day, which she brought up...
There was no actual pesto poisoning involved, I'd had the same meal and I was fine, but somehow this triggered an extreme dislike of pesto. These days it is pretty much banished from our house she can't even be around it, she claims it is "horrible Oily stuff" and the smell alone can apparently make her nauseous... she claims.
It doesn't matter if I point out the fact that she used to like it and that the experience that put her off it had nothing to do with having actually eaten the stuff. She'll eat Basil, pine nuts, parmesan, various food containing olive oil, all of the ingredients are individually acceptable to her, but combine them together in Pesto and she cannot even be around the stuff...
Strangely She has not yet developed a chocolate aversion...
Cougar - Moderator
How does she feel about freshly peeled spiders?
it's not the peeled 'thing', but the peelings which are the problem.
obviously, she wouldn't like spider-peelings, but she'd feel very sad about a peeled spider.
(as would i, i might be scared of spiders, but that doesn't mean i don't like them...)
I think I've been waiting my whole life* for a thread like this. Where should I start:
- balloons
- thunder/lightning
- flying (and any mechanical/unexpected noise on a plane)
- rats
- fairground rides
- champagne corks (popping)
*since I registered with STW
Cougar is on fire today! Don't you have a job to do?! My wife thinks horror films are documentaries. She utterly suspends dis-belief when watching and insists they're real. Tears, hysterics, the lot.
Pesto is pretty Bleuuurgh TBF
A friend has a fear of the soles of feet...hers, anyones really. Apparently its the wrinkly skin and the thought that anything could go straight through. If she caught sight of someone jabbing their finger at the sole of a foot - that would be it - utter terror!
I think I've been waiting my whole life* for a thread like this
You do know you can start your own? Or is that your little phobia?
Pesto is pretty Bleuuurgh TBF
Yup, used to be fine with it then had some rank stuff, never got over it.
A friend of mine has a fear of fingers being forced wide apart - just enough to be unnaturally wide, doesn't have to be enough to break them or anything.
Don't you have a job to do?!
I've got half a dozen laptop builds on the go. It's a bit like spinning plates on sticks; set 'em all spinning then have a minute to spod on STW before I've to give the sticks another jiggle.
A friend of mine has a fear of fingers being forced wide apart
They'll live long and prosper.
Again, my missus is awesome:
-All insects or reptiles
Nope, she frequently is gardening and will pick up insects etc
-Dogs (any dog)
Loves dogs, used to work in a kennels
She climbs, and is much better than I am when out on very steep ice in winter
-Large bodies of water
She goes lake swimming
-Speed in general
Nope, fine driving at a decent pace
-Weather (although she's also fascinated by the weather, so long as she's indoors)
She loves the sound of storms when inside, or in a tent
-Cuts, Grazes injuries in general.
She boasts about her injuries and bruises
-Pesto (No Really)
She eats pesto for dinner, om nom nom.
A friend of mine has a fear of fingers being forced wide apartThey'll live long and prosper.
My ex-
Daddy Long Legs;
Discussing emotions and feelings...
They'll live long and prosper.
My wife isn't bad at all - she's scared of dogs but that's about it. She claims to not like driving fast but considering how quickly she gets places when she borrows my car I don't think it's true! She commuted in London traffic for the first time a week back and it didn't bother her at all. She's even got a full motorbike license.
She's a biology teacher so quite happy dissecting insects and the like (she has hissing cockroaches and a snake in her room at school). She climbs and dives (including encounters with sharks) and is pretty into her outdoor stuff (not mountain biking though, she prefers road cycling).
Zombies, in spite of the fact they're made up. Tried to get her to watch the walking dead, almost shat herself. This from an extremely intelligent and otherwise incredibly brave woman (she used to work at the same secure unit as me, and I've seen her face down some proper psychos).
Snakes. To be fair, she's Australian so it's justified. But it didn't stop me buying my 5yr old nephew a packet of rubber snakes for Christmas and getting him to torment her with them.
The colour green. More of a superstition than a fear I guess, but it runs right through her. Nothing green in the house or as part of clothing. Even to the extent that I'm buying a new car and I can pick a car, any car, as long as it's not green...
She's half-Irish and green is pretty much the national colour, but not in her family I guess (she gets this from her mum).
Apart from that little idiosyncracy she's relatively sane
My other half, often seen noodling around Cannock on her Trek, has a fascinating panapoly of fears, phobias and is a straight refusenik on some random things.
For example;
1) Phobia of worms. This make anything remotely muddy a no go. I am talking a full screaming polly pissy pants if so much as the hint of wriggler is spotted
2) Fear of mud (may contain worms)
3) Fear of heights - ok this is a fair one
4) Fear of contained spaces - it's the stairs or not at all
5) Fear of roads - so I sold the road bike I spent months building her
6) Refuses to drive the Land Rover or the Flaming Comet of Death
7) Will not eat anything "with a face" so that's no duck, rabbit or basically anything that appears in a Disney movie.
8 ) Is suspicious of okra
But, she is willing to share a house with a loser like me so she has any number of redeeming point and is more than able to face down a skinhead when her cideer gets spilled at a Specials gig.
She is for sale though - spares or repair.
Mine = scared of lightning. When young and at school she was being bullied and told the boy bullying her that she wished he'd drop dead. Later that day he was struck by lightning!
Because of this, i try to remain on good terms at all times..
Dave_rudabar - was he deaded ? - sounds horrific.
Got a good female friend who's scared of
Furry dead things and....
Trolls ( no really she's Danish - freaked out when I mentioned 'troll hunter')
Mrs busydog is afraid of:
snakes (especially rattlesnakes, but she automatically assumes any snake she sees is a rattler---won't go on hikes in the summer unless it is on a trail about 20 feet wide so she can stay away from an undergrowth)
tornadoes (we have had 2 in the state in the 30 years we lived here and those were 200+ miles away--to her credit, she grew up in the Midwestern US, where they are a dime a dozen).
heights (ended her short MTB career)
Well I started this thread expecting to hear than my missus was the biggest scaredy pants ever, how wrong!
Wer'e on La Palma at the moment & Mrs G has been missing out on loads of fantastic views just cos there's some massive drops to look out over on the walks we've done, she's been hanging on to trees to stop her falling off (imaginary) vertical drops!
Been ice climbing with the Mrs today. She's scared her hat clashes with her jacket. The cold vertical scary side of things she's fine with.

Foreign Troops Could Deploy in W. Bank After Peace Deal
BRUSSELS - After an Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories within the framework of an overall peace agreement, foreign forces could be stationed there for a specific period, the secretary-general of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, told Haaretz in an interview over the weekend in Brussels.
Moussa said this was acceptable to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He added that Israel could withdraw in stages from the Golan Heights and West Bank, so long as the withdrawal would adhere to a reasonable schedule, anchored in a UN Security Council decision. Moussa ruled out the possibility of the Arab League negotiating with Israel on the overall peace agreement, noting that the League supports serious bilateral negotiations.
A complete freeze on all settlement construction is a precondition for any progress in relations between Arab nations and Israel, the secretary-general said. If Israel freezes such construction and takes substantive measures against illegal outposts, the Arab League's door would be open for additional steps and gestures, beyond the 2002 peace initiative itself, Moussa said.
He also maintained that the League has now been waiting six years for an official Israeli response to the Arab peace initiative, and all the while the situation on the ground is changing. The settlements are affecting not only the demography, but also the character of the territories and are rendering ever more remote the possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel, Moussa explained.
The time is nearing when the Arabs will demand a decision: either Israel will dismantle the settlements or the Arab League will declare that there is no possibility of establishing a Palestinian state, he said. Moussa emphasized that it is impossible to have your cake and eat it, too.
The secretary-general agreed with what Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told President Shimon Peres at their most recent meeting: First Israel must accept the Arab peace initiative in principle, and only then will it be possible to talk about the details. Moussa said he was disappointed that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni have not yet officially responded to the initiative. After Israel accepts its principles, he added, we will invite Israel to present its own proposal and explain its objection to specific sections.
Jerusalem must be united, with special arrangements that will allow passage between all parts of the city without the need to present a passport, he said. I am convinced that we can reach an agreement that includes transferring the mosques to Palestinian sovereignty, Moussa said.
He called on Israel to join the agreement for a nuclear-free Middle East, saying that the International Atomic Energy Agency never claimed to possess proof that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. I do not know if it is true or not, but the Middle East does not need nuclear weapons and that is as true for Israel as it is for every country in the region, he explained.
Moussa also expressed satisfaction with the election of Barack Obama, saying he expects him to apply his winning slogan, "We need change," to the Middle East, too. On a somewhat critical note of George W. Bush, he said the main change needs to come in the form of the U.S. returning to its role as unbiased mediator.

The 32-year-old defender's contract expires in the summer and Italian side Inter Milan are tipped to secure his signature.
The timing of the Serbian's announcement may spark further anxiety among Manchester United fans, many of whom have been unhappy with the club's progress since David Moyes took over as manager from Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Premier League champions are currently seventh in the table, trailing leaders Arsenal by 15 points.
Moyes had previously indicated that he would like Vidic - club captain since 2010 - to stay, but it is thought he had not been offered a contract extension.
In a statement released by the Old Trafford club, Vidic said: "I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season.
"I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.
"I'm not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years.
"I've got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family."
Vidic signed for the Red Devils in 2005 and was paired with Rio Ferdinand in the last great central defensive partnership of Sir Alex's reign, winning 15 trophies including a Champions League winners medal in Russia in 2008.
Last May he skippered the side to their historic 20th top flight league success - their last under Sir Alex.
But he was limited to 19 league appearances in that campaign as he battled a serious knee injury which had troubled him since 2011.
"It's the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here," Vidic said.
"My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.
"I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow, memories that will live with me and the fans forever."
Vidic is available for this weekend's league clash against Fulham after serving a three-match suspension following his dismissal against Chelsea last month.
He said: "I am now going to focus all my efforts on playing for Manchester United and do the best I can for the team until the end of the season.
"I hope this stops any further speculation about my future."

National Soldiers Home Historic District
One of the last pieces of legislation President Abraham Lincoln signed before his death in 1865 started the establishment of a National Soldiers Homes system. The 90-acre Milwaukee Soldiers Home campus in Wisconsin is one of the most intact examples of these early soldiers' homes, including the "Old Main" building (pictured here). It was used as a veterans' residence until the 1970s, and the peaceful, park-like site is now used frequently as an education center, hosting school groups and even re-enactors from the Civil War to the Vietnam War. The place now faces threat of demolition, or collapse from extensive roof and water damage.
