Promoting self-testing for HIV in developing countries: potential benefits and pitfalls
Sumesh Kachroo
University of Texas School of Public Health, 7530 Brompton Street # 842, Houston, TX 77025, USA (email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
The prevalence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in developing countries is a growing problem. By 2003, an estimated 38 million people worldwide were infected with HIV, with approximately 14 000 new infections occurring each day.1 Some 2.3 million children worldwide are infected with HIV and they account for 18% of all deaths related to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).2 I should like to add to the discussion on preventive measures for reducing the prevalence and incidence of HIV by weighing the potential benefits of promoting self-testing for HIV in developing countries and the concerns that need to be raised.
Research reveals two common reasons why people do not attend HIV counselling: limited HIV testing services, and social stigma and discrimination associated with HIV infection.1 Both these factors play a prominent role in the lack of HIV awareness among people in developing countries and may lead to errors in HIV reporting. People living in remote areas remain unscreened if local testing services are not available, because they cannot afford the time involved to go to far-off facilities and the consequent loss of pay. Other concerns such as lack of privacy, overworked clinics and physicians' reluctance to test are cofactors in low screening rates. Self-testing will help overcome these objections and is a convenient option compared with the conventional methods of testing.
People's ignorance of their HIV status creates serious problems. Research shows that approximately 25% of HIV-positive people in the United States are transmitting the virus to others, as they are unaware of their status.1 This proportion is likely to be higher in developing countries, in view of lower literacy rates. Marks et al. report from their study in the United States that people modify their behaviour and engage in fewer high-risk sexual encounters once they know they are HIV positive.3 Because it is easy to use, self-testing can help more and more people to know their HIV status: they might modify their behaviour and thus contribute to lowering the incidence of new cases. Home testing of HIV could transform the landscape of dating and also affect other safer sex practices by encouraging would-be partners to learn each other's HIV status before having sex. Self-testing of HIV could thus play a very important public health role by decreasing the sexual transmission of HIV: preliminary studies show that 80% of people whose positive results were detected by a rapid test in a hospital, emergency department or a clinic sought care.4
Some researchers have examined the merits of self-testing and the need to increase its availability. Spielberg et al. report that self-testing is a quick and cost-effective method for HIV detection and may prove beneficial in both industrialized and developing countries; they explain the benefits of one self-testing kit for HIV in detail.1 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to consider the sale of home-testing kits for HIV and a few social organizations, such as the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, also support their introduction. Similar steps should be taken in other countries, especially the developing ones, to tackle the growing menace of HIV infection.
To support the introduction of home-testing kits in developing countries demands a collective effort from organizations such as WHO, UNESCO, local government agencies and local social groups. It is important that efforts should be made to make information about self-testing methods freely available. It is also essential to provide self-testing kits at reasonable prices so that cost is not a barrier to use in areas that are already plagued with poverty and lower standards of living. In such parts of the world, providing free or discounted samples may prove beneficial.
Home-testing kits alone are not sufficient: the purpose of increasing HIV awareness will only be achieved if pre-test and post-test counselling are provided. At HIV testing clinics, the outcome is usually delivered in person; in the event of a positive test result, an expert is on hand to provide assistance and information. The manufacturers of home tests should provide telephone counselling facilities with toll-free numbers and referral information with the testing kit, as well as a web site that contains exhaustive information concerning the kit and answers to frequently asked questions about it. They could also furnish the contact details of local social organizations that provide counselling, so a client would have the choice of either contacting the organizations by telephone or going there personally for assistance. Although telephone counselling is not as effective as personal interaction, in some cases the anonymity offered by the telephone service may make it easier for a person with a positive test result to open up and reveal distressing feelings and information.
A study by Frank et al. reports that anonymous HIV home collection kits with pre-test and post-test telephone counselling can provide a safe and effective alternative to conventional testing methods.5 Numerous studies document the effectiveness of telephone counselling in crisis intervention and suicide prevention. Although Wright et al. report that no increase in suicide rates was observed after home-testing kits were approved by the FDA in 1996, it is necessary for the telephone counsellors to be thoroughly trained to deal with all possible situations, including those related to suicidal tendencies.4 The counsellors should be able to provide information on treatment options and places where the client can seek help; they should also suggest face-to-face counselling and give details of its availability.
In developing countries, it is important to develop culturally appropriate strategies to increase the effectiveness of counselling. In rural areas where the availability of telephones and computers is limited, other strategies such as group counselling sessions will be necessary.
Another potential problem with home testing is the possibility of abuse: family members, employers or others could send someone's blood sample for testing without his or her knowledge. In some countries, there are laws against testing without consent and discrimination on the basis of HIV status, and those involved can be prosecuted. Other countries, however, especially in the developing world, may not have such protection. Social reform is necessary, and social groups and other organizations should urge governments to consider this issue as a high priority.
Although the results obtained from home-testing kits are very reliable, there are still chances of getting a false-positive or a false-negative result. If the client has any doubts, he or she should repeat the test and if possible go to a voluntary counselling and testing centre.
Knowledge of HIV-positive status may not be a guarantee of access to care; however, this should not discourage people from seeking to know their status. It is too early to predict the effect of home testing on the existing social stigma associated with HIV infection, and it is possible that the test's emphasis on privacy may perpetuate, not end, the stigma.6 It is therefore important for social groups and government organizations to assume direct responsibility in efforts to encourage people to clarify their HIV status, beginning with programmes to increase awareness about HIV so as to increase acceptance of people affected by it.
Home-testing kits can preserve secrecy, but education and advocacy will be required to improve disclosure rates as it is possible that a person may not wish to share a positive result. Providing information to clients with the home-testing kits may also help in increasing disclosure rates. Once people become aware of their HIV status, a good counsellor may be able to encourage them to start early treatment: it is important to conduct more research to explore such issues. Research will also be needed to determine whether women who test positive for HIV are at an increased risk of domestic violence or social harassment, in view of the male-dominated societies in some developing countries, especially in rural areas.
It is high time for more research on the feasibility, safety and cost-effectiveness of self-testing to be carried out. At the same time, efficient strategies should be devised to counter possible pitfalls and help home testing to realize its full potential and increase its acceptance rates. With HIV prevalence increasing at an alarming rate, exploring this option may prove beneficial. Home testing may not provide the final solution, and a more comprehensive HIV prevention strategy will be required; however, it may prove an effective tool to increase social awareness of HIV when used hand-in-hand with voluntary counselling and testing.

Great service. There are a few things that could be improved. It is so difficult to find where to drop the car off, especially if you do not know the area too well. Once you have located the entrance to the car park, there is no real marking on where to leave the car. It did take a fair bit of time for the car to be brought back to the airport which could have been due to traffic conditions so is out of your control, but I was not offered an opportunity to look round the car to make sure that it was in the same condition I had left it. However,, your staff were very courteous and I would have no hesitation in using your service again.

I thought the service was excellent. The car arrived at the airport on time as specified and the drop off was easy as well. One area of improvement though. I got a text advising me to contact 20mins before arriving at hotel to drop off the car. As I was driving could only see the text when I arrived at hotel. This instruction should be on the confirmation form when booked. Still, agent turned up swiftly so we weren't hanging around. Would definitely recommend to friends. Be nice if a valeting service was offered.

Got a bit confused when I arrived at The Radisson - spoke on the intercom and asked if I was in the right place. They said yes, so I drove through to the carpark at the rear. Only then to discover I should have parked in short term at the front. My mistake. I would also say leave plenty of time to transfer to the terminal, the buses only seem to run every half hour. That said, it was a good service, car was at short term parking in the airport almost immediately when I arrived back, and I will be booking FHR again next week, so must have done a good job!

There are few surgeries that are as delicate as a prostatectomy, the removal of the prostate to treat cancer. Simply put, the prostate isn't meant to be removed; it sits in a hard-to-reach location within the male urinary/reproductive tract and is surrounded by thousands of gossamer-like nerves that control among other things a man's erectile function. In addition, the process of removing the prostate can produce incontinence. Needless to say it is critical that the surgery limit the amount of collateral damage to healthy nerves and tissue that surround the organ. That's why the control and precision afforded by the da Vinci robotic surgery system offers new hope for cancer patients.
The da Vinci system uses robotic arms that hold special surgical instruments. These instruments are inserted into small incisions made in the abdomen. A lighted scope is inserted into one incison and connected to a camera, providing an excellent three dimensional view of the very small area in which the surgeon must work. This 3D view helps the surgeon find the nerves and muscles surrounding the prostate. The robotic arms that hold the instruments rotate 360 degrees, giving the surgeon flexibility and a level of precision not otherwise attainable. The prostate, lymph nodes, seminal vessicles and surrounding tissues are then removed. Every effort is made to spare surrounding nerves. The entire procedure takes about two to three hours.
There are many advantages to the robotic procedure, including less pain, fewer complications, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and earlier return of urinary control along with improved sexual function. Most patients will be walking the evening of the surgery and go home the next morning. There will be a catheter in place for about one week. Most patients will resume normal activity in about two weeks. Some patients may experience a return to full bladder control very quickly. Most patients will have a small amount of urinary leakage for two or three months. A smaller percentage may take up to one or two years to regain urinary control. For most patients a normal erection should return within a year. Treatment with medicines, vacuum pumps and penile injections can assist in your return.
We measure a successful surgery the way most men would. First and foremost, we have to remove the cancer. The da Vinci allows us to be more precise in the removal of tissue. While you are in surgery, our pathologist will look at the edges of tissue surrounding your prostate to determine if cancer is present. If cancer is present on the edges, this is called a positive margin. This process gives us the best chance to know if we should remove more tissue. In addition to removing cancer, there are quality of life issues that we include in our definition of success. And we believe that the robotic-assisted approach gives us the best chance to perform nerve-sparing procedure that will give you your best chance of regaining bladder control and sexual function over time.

Newton boys bowling wins, girls take second in West Des Moines
Apparently a week off from competition was just what the Newton boys bowling team needed.
Freshman Bryan McMahon led all bowlers and the Cardinal boys earned a victory in a five-team field at Val Lanes in West Des Moines. For the second meet in a row, the Newton girls made a comeback after a slow start, but took second place to Knoxville.
"The boy's have shown some marked improvements throughout the season and are starting to realize their full potential," Newton coach Seth Banwell said. "They are consistently making great shots and stringing some strikes together. This is evident by the high Baker scores they demonstrated today."

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Philips Hue Connected Bulb Starter Pack
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Household, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
Lighting should be highly personal. Overhead fluorescents most definitely aren't. Hue helps you create just the right ambiance with this ultra-customizable system, our next entry in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. You can tinker with the color and brightness of every HUE LED in your home through a smartphone app, allowing you to set the color to match any part of the rainbox on demand, at any time.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen 5-piece Steel Cutlery Set
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Design, Household, Family, Techies, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
If this matte stainless flatware looks familiar, that's probably because it's what Dave used when chowing down in 2001: A Space Odyssey. That makes it good enough to appear in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. It was already a classic by the time that film dropped in 1968. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957, the Georg Jensen set typifies the Danish architect's smooth space-age aesthetic. Now you can get a set of your very own.
You can pick up the Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen 5-piece Steel Cutlery Set now from Amazon for $95.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Sonos Playbar
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment, Music, Wireless / WiFi, Family, Techies
Sonos has earned two spots in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide, because the Playbar is just so fantastic. Soundbars are typically designed to replace your HDTV's anemic speakers. The Sonos Playbar does that, but but also has a much cooler additional function: It integrates with all the rest of the Sonos multiroom audio system lineup (some of which has already appeared in our Holiday Gift Guide!), streaming music from your Mac, PC, smartphone, and subscription online services. Pair it up with a Sonos SUB and a couple of Play:1 units and you've got a bonafide wireless surround sound system.
You can pick up the Sonos Playbar now from Amazon for $699, and they'll even throw in a free Sonos BRIDGE accessory as well.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Microsoft Xbox One
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Video Games, Family, Techies, Teens, Under $500
Don't let the looks of the Microsoft Xbox One, the next entry in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide fool you--it may like more like a modern DVR than traditional game console, but that's by design. It's packing an 8-core processor and upgraded Kinect sensor which makes it more than just a game console--it's also your living room's entertainment hub. They're hard to find, but if you look hard enough, you can get one. Look even harder, and you can get one of the elusive white Xbox One "I Made This" models!
You can pick up the Microsoft Xbox One now from Amazon for $499--but hurry, they'll likely sell out before the end of the day.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Neatmo Weather Station
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Household, Family, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
If you want a better handle on the indoor conditions of your home, peep our next 2013 Holiday Gift Guide entry, the Neatmo Urban Weather Station. So, just how much damage did you do to your family's lungs with that batch of really burnt holiday cookies? The Neatmo weather station doesn't just assess the temperature outside your home, it also measures indoor air quality, humidity, and carbon dioxide level. A mobile app lets you monitor your house remotely and get alerts when something is amiss. Knowledge is power.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Apple iPad Air
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $500
Thanks to its vast ecosystem of apps, great performance, and a fantastic screen, the iPad Air earns a spot in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide (see our iPad Air review.) Compared to the fourth-generation iPad, the iPad Air is nearly identical in terms of function, although it's much faster and also sports a better front camera for FaceTime chats. The big leap is in the design department, where the iPad Air just dominates on comfortability. The iPad Air is the best full-sized consumer tablet that you can get this holiday season.
You can pick up the iPad Air now from Apple--order now if you want to ensure that it's delivered before Christmas.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
The next item in Gear Live's 2013 Holiday Gift Guide is the Kindle Paperwhite. Why? well, as great as e-ink readers have been (and they've been pretty stellar,) since the original Amazon Kindle was released, their one tragic flaw has been that they become pretty useless in the dark. You either simply can't read them, or have to use a small light attachment accessory. Enter the Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon has designed what we consider to be the best e-ink reader to hit the market. It's flagship feature is the front-lit display, which works great when you're in the dark and want to read your latest ebook purchase without using a backlit tablet that's hard on the eyes, or an awkward clip-on light accessory. It also supports new features like telling you how much reading time you have before you finish your current chapter, and an all-touch display with virtually no lag. Check out our Kindle Paperwhite review, unboxing gallery, and video after the break for more, and head on over to Amazon to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for $119 for that bookworm in your life.
Honorable mention: Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight

October 11, 2007
by Jaime Daremblum
Hudson Institute, Center for Latin American Studies
Welcome and Moderator: Ambassador Jaime Daremblum
Director, Hudson Institute's Center for Latin American Studies
Featured Speaker: His Excellency José Octavio Bórdon
Comments: Hugo Alconada, Bureau Chief, La Nación
Transcript by
Federal News Service
Washington, D.C.
JAIME DARENBLUM: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, excellencies, dear friends. I'm Jaime Daremblum, director of Hudson's Center for Latin American Studies, and it's my pleasure to welcome you this morning to a discussion on the upcoming elections in Argentina with Ambassador José Octavio Bordón.
On the eve of the general elections to be held on October 28th, there are multiple questions concerning what the elections hold in store for Argentina, and to some extent its neighbors. The international interests in the outcome arise, of course, from the importance of Argentina in the region. There is no one more qualified to enlighten us on this particular juncture than Argentina's key representative to the United States, my good friend Ambassador Bordón.
Ambassador Bordón has had a very interesting, rich, and fruitful career serving his country in different capacities. In addition to having been a top legislator, governor, and presidential candidate, he has also excelled as an educator, and since 2003 as a superb Ambassador of Argentina to the United States. We're honored to have him speak at Hudson.
We're also very pleased and privileged to have with us this morning Mr. Hugo Alconada, a leading Argentinean journalist, and a bureau chief of La Nación in Washington. I'm sure Mr. Alconada's comments will stimulate our general discussion.
And without any further delay, I give you Ambassador Bordón.
JOSÉ OCTAVIO BORDÓN: Thank you so much. First of all, thank all of you for being here this morning. My special recognition and regard to the Hudson Institute and my dear friend Mr. Daremblum, my dear friend Jaime. And also it is a privilege for me to share the stage with a representative of a new and very important generation of journalists in Argentina.
First of all, I want to say that, for me, it's a real challenge this morning because, as Jaime said, in my background I am a politician, academic, and ambassador. If I speak as ambassador, I need to be very careful, and it would be very boring. If I speak as an academic and politician, it is possible that I will lose my job. For these reasons I will try to combine my backgrounds, I ensure that will be boring, and maybe I will lose my job. But after five years with no drama… (Laughter.)
Okay, what is the scenario today? Very briefly, the electoral polls are showing that the official candidate, Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, first lady, is winning in the first round election. The battle for the second position is between the former minister of economy of President Kirchner, Roberto Lavagna, and former congresswoman Elisa Carrió. But obviously, as the official candidates say about Cristina Kirchner, or Cristina Fernández, the final word is in the hands of the ballot box, not in the hands of the previous polls.

We have been reluctant to post over the last week or two out of a very real fear that anything we said would be out-of-date a few hours later.
However, this does not mean that anything that has happened is at all surprising or incredible, as some in the media have claimed. On the contrary, we were not the only ones to predict that there must be severe consequences if European politicians did not face facts about the euro and Americans did not get real about their debts.
Being proved right, again, gives us little pride and no pleasure – little pride because it was all so obvious that we do not deserve much credit for spotting it, and no pleasure because it is frustrating that such an avoidable disaster was not avoided.
It is doubly depressing that the politicians still have not learnt their lesson. The response of the European Central Bank, buying debt from badly run countries, is treating the symptom not the disease. Greece must be kicked out of the eurozone. Such a display of resolution might be enough to keep other failing members in. If not, the euro cannot continue as it is. Everyone knows this.
Everyone also knows that the American "debt deal" is nothing of the sort. It is full of holes. Referring the real decisions to a committee is a politician's way of avoiding his duty. At best, it simply postpones the problem – like kicking the ball to touch in a rugby match so that both sides can catch their breath. At worst, it means that the big crisis is yet to come: the real fighting will start when the committee reports – if it ever does.
Given this prospect, Standard and Poor's decision to strip the United States of its AAA credit rating is fair, albeit perhaps a little premature. The politicians who are complaining about it are in a state of denial. It was rude of Mr Putin to call America a parasite on the global economy for sucking up so much of the world's available credit – but he was factually correct. It is shameful that the USA has now surrendered the moral high ground to a past KGB Colonel.
All that said, too much should not be read into the current market turbulence. For one thing, the big players agree that most businesses are slightly over-valued by the markets, so some readjustment is necessary. It should also be noted that it is summertime, when the players themselves are away, and nervous juniors are running the office.
Things will calm down soon – but only until the players get back to their desks and find that the politicians have not done anything in the meantime to solve the problems that are now all too obvious.

If they're aiming at each other slightly, wouldn't that cause sound distortion due to even more sound-wave interference?
[–]Volentimeh 9 points10 points11 points 11 months ago*
Audio geek here, the toe in is mainly to have each speaker aimed directly at you, on the couch, and is really only relevant at higher frequencies that tend to be more directional.
It's highly dependent on the nature of the room, what speakers are used, ect, some setups are fine with the speakers straight, a few I've had to toe out slightly, there's no one size fits all in audio.
The toe in doesn't really cause any more interference based distortion than is already happening at quite large amplitudes in pretty much any room that isn't an Anaerobic chamber.
[–]brcguy 10 points11 points12 points 11 months ago
I believe you meant anechoic chamber. Anaerobic refers to things that don't need air to survive. Your home theater would totally suck without air.
Yea after thinking about it a little more, and drawing out a diagram I realize the only added or extra wave interference will be at the point between the two speakers at or behind the tv set, thus not affecting the listener sitting in front of the tv at all.
And as you've already said, none of that interference really affects us at all. Thanks for the response.

No clue. I was only explaining what the guy meant by "toe them out a little". No clue why it's a good/bad idea.

Reader's Digest Magazine Subscription Video Review
I'm TV and radio personality Patricia Lopez.
Reader's Digest magazine has been a fixture on coffee tables for decades and yes,
it's still around and it's still relevant, even winning the National Magazine Award for general excellence a few years ago, one of the top awards in the magazine industry.
If you think it's too wholesome or conservative, I'm here to tell you to look beyond these stereotypes.
Reader's Digest is full of stories you can't find anywhere else in one place, like profiles on average citizens that risk their lives to save others or people overcoming extreme obstacles to reach an honorable dream. It's a great change of pace from the standard pop-culture and celebrity news and you'll get to read about real people who are everyday heroes.
Another reason to love Reader's Digest is the content isn't always serious. There are lighthearted quotes, comics and anecdotes sprinkled throughout the magazine that remind me us to laugh. Not to mention the frequent upbeat cover stories like The World's Dumbest Criminals, Celebrities, Lawsuits and more.
It may sound nerdy, but the Word Power quiz is also pretty entertaining. It's a simple thing but so much fun. Where else would learn the definition of the noun trug? (FYI - It's a shallow basket, in case you were wondering.)
It's also a true digest and the advice is practical, not sensational. There are no overwhelming lists like "30 ways to cook healthy" or "20 ways to lose 10 pounds" here. This magazine has plenty of advice and tips, like insurance polices you don't need, or secrets of emergency rooms
If a Reader's Digest subscription sounds like the type of publication you're looking for then be sure to check out the great subscription deals at Magazines.com. And don't hesitate to call 1-800-MAGAZINES with any questions you might have.

WE enjoy the content and variety of RD. It's also a great size for travel, and without exception, everyone who comes to visit enjoys reading it, no matter what age or walk of life. The articles are interesting and short. The only criicism is the multitude of advertisements, which seem to take up almost 1/2 of the issue. I realize you need those to keep our costs low, so maybe more content to counterbalance the many ads.

I have been reading reader's digest of over 50 yrs. I also got the condensed books and summer weekly reader. We would take 2 issues at christmas to make table trees. Now it would take about 8 for same effect. Why do we not get 12 issues anymore? You wanted to cut corners but what you have done is gotten greedy and now losing customers. I am thinking of doing the same thing when my subscriptions are over.
This magazine is a good value. There are human interest stories, all kinds of humor and helpful hints. It seems to be written by regular people for regular people.
Great magazine, old time favorite, still going strong. Great article, info, comics and stories.
I have been reading Reader's digest since I was a young child. I was a bit of a nerd and skipped to all the jokes, and then did the vocabulary test, but as an adult I appreciate all of the helpful hints, uplifting, and eye opening articles that are offered in this wonderful magazine.
overall fun and conversation stater
I ordered for my aunt in large print who is 87 years old, she was thrilled. I've had a subscription for years and have always enjoyed most of the articles
I bought this for a relative who turned 87 this year, she had a problem seeing and was thrilled. She always read this magazine and was grateful for the large print.
mag is great, provides a lot of information on different subjects. Hate be told I will be automatic enrolled.
good magazine. lots of short stories for quick reading. definitely push their liberal views.

To help you stay informed and able to adapt to an increasingly uncertain and challenging global tax environment, Ernst & Young is pleased to bring you this fourteenth installment of BorderCrossings – our monthly webcast series devoted to transfer pricing and related tax issues. The second season of our BorderCrossings series continues this month with a discussion of the Transfer Pricing Manual currently being drafted by the subcommittee appointed by the United Nations Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters (the UN Committee of Experts).
United Nations Transfer Pricing Manual
The UN Committee of Experts released its updated UN Model Convention on 15 March. In addition to an updated Commentary to the existing Convention there are some updated or new Treaty articles put in place. In the background, there is also discussion on how to provide more guidance to developing countries with respect to the application of transfer pricing principles applicable under Article 9 of the Convention.
To accommodate developing country needs in this respect, the UN Committee of Experts has embarked on a project to draft a Transfer Pricing Manual. The Manual is intended to provide developing countries with an introduction to transfer pricing principles and methods and practical guidance on how these principles and methods can be implemented by a developing country's tax authority. The webcast will address issues such as:
During this live, interactive webcast, you will have the opportunity to ask questions through the website and the panelists will answer as many of your questions as time permits.
This program will be of interest to vice presidents/directors of tax/international tax/transfer pricing, directors of finance, CFOs, international tax managers and tax accountants looking for the latest practical information and planning ideas to support their global business initiatives. We hope you will be able to join us.

text: The underlying commonality among individuals who kill themselves is the belief that suicide is the ONLY solution to their unbearable situation. Over time in the majority of instances, the events in question will pass, their impact can be mitigated, or their overwhelming nature will gradually diminish. This often depends on the suicidal person making good choices for themselves at a time when they are feeling at their worst. This can be extremely difficulty to do. About Suicide Suicide: Know the Signs People can usually deal with isolated stressful events well, but when there is an accumulation of these events over a long time period, the normal coping strategies are often pushed to the limit. Frequently, people will give off warning signs that they are in need of help with the hope that someone will step in to rescue them. Other people may show no signs at all and others may show the signs and seem to be coping well. The only way to know for sure is to ask. Some of these warning signs are: Withdrawing from friends and family Loss of interest in usually activities Extreme hopelessness Changes in appetite and sleep Talking, writing or hinting about suicide Purposefully putting personal affairs in order A sudden change from extreme depression to being 'at peace' (may indicate they have made their decision to kill themselves People are often afraid to talk to others about suicide since death is a taboo topic in western society. This phenomenon often leads to further isolation and increases the problem. Many people believe that talking about suicide may give someone the idea to do it. This is simply not true. You don't give a person morbid thoughts by talking about suicide. People often feel better by honestly expressing their distress. Asking them directly, "Are you thinking of suicide?" gives them the permission to share their true feelings. Above all, suicidal people, like everyone, need love, understanding and care. Many also believe that if people are determined to kill themselves, nothing will stop them. The truth is most suicidal people do not want death, rather, they want the pain to stop. There is often great ambivalence about carrying through on the decision to end it all. Facts About Suicide 79% of all firearm suicides are committed by white men. Suicide was the 3rd leading cause of death among young people 15 to 24 years of age, following unintentional injuries and homicide. Research indicates that there are certain familial factors that are associated with suicide: Family history of mental or substance abuse disorder Family history of suicide Family violence, including physical or sexual abuse There are an estimated 8-25 attempted suicides for every completion; this ratio is higher in women and youth and lower in men and the elderly More women than men report a history of attempted suicide, with a gender ration of about 2:1 The strongest risk factors for attempted suicide in adults are depression, alcohol abuse, cocaine abuse, and separation/divorce. The majority of suicide attempts are expressions of extreme distress and not just manipulative attempts to get attention. More people die from suicide than from homicide in the United States Source: NIMH/CDC What do you do if someone you know becomes suicidal [Note: This article is to serve only as a general guideline. It is intended to be informative rather than authoritative.] Try to remain calm. In most instances there is no rush. Focus on listening and understanding. Ask about the person's thoughts. Contrary to popular belief, asking about suicide doesn't put ideas into people's head. Ask about the plan, method and means – are they lethal? Available? Encourage problem solving and positive actions. Encourage them to refrain from making any serious, irreversible decisions while in a crisis. Listen with respect. Suicidal people very often need understanding and care. Tell them, "I don't want you to die." Develop a no-suicide contract and safety plan. Take charge. Don't worry about invading their privacy. Don't leave it up to them to get help. If the crisis is acute, treat it as an emergency – call 911 or take the person to an emergency room. You would intervene if someone were having a heart attack – a suicidal impulse can be just as deadly. Get assistance. Avoid trying to be the sole lifeline for the person. Seek out resources even if it means breaking a confidence. Know that you can only do so much to try to prevent someone from committing suicide. Ultimately, they will make their own choice. If the danger is imminent DO NOT LEAVE THE PERSON ALONE. For information on suicide risk and prevention call: 303.458.3507 Other Resources ULifeline website Carlson, Trudy Suicide Survivors Handbook.

I've had countless people here ask me, "You moved from Washington, DC to HERE? WHHHYYYY?"
As if DC with it's "national news as local news" is a place to aspire to. I lived in that area for 15 years. I loved the waterways and the Springs of new green and the crisp falls of saturated colors. I loved the free museums and the sense of humor of artists and writers who could love the area and make fun of it at the same time.
And with the same intensity, I disliked the stifling humidity that made the winters bitter cold and the summers feel as if you were living in a dog's mouth. I cringed at the assumption of privilege of a certain segment of people, the dismissive question they asked when they met you, "What do you do?" so they could put you in a category of worth to them–someone they could use in someway, or someone they could ignore.
DC is many things, and the first thing I noticed when I moved is that the women there dress in dowdy-sparrow clothing–colors of the streets and winter foliage. I never thought of Phoenix as a center of style, but the women here dress with style and knowledge. You see color, you see experimentation, so see a comfort of being in your own skin.
So when people here ask me why I moved, sometimes I tell this story:
"In DC, there are classification of government workers, and many private companies have adopted the same pattern.
Workers in some jobs are called "essential workers."
When it snows, DC has snow alerts–to keep people off the roads until they can get them plowed. DC has a lot of on-street parking, and they want those parking places free so the plows can get the snow out of the way. They announce that there is "Blue leave" which means flex time–you can come in late, but have to make it up in the same pay period.
(DC does love assigning colors to its alerts. Six weeks ago, I knew the terror alert every day. Now I don't. Don't miss it.)
Then they will add, "Essential employees must report for work."
People who are in lower-level jobs, will race outside, jump in their SUVs and drive to the nearest Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts–because they want their neighbors to think they are "essential employees" and have to brave the snow. As soon as they are out of their neighborhood, they have no place to go, so they cruise to a Starbucks and kill some time.
And that is why I moved here–I don't want to kill time, I want to live it."

Emerson College in Boston, MA, put on a pretty interesting event that dedicated their entire School of Communications to none other than the classiest broadcaster to ever hit the airwaves in San Diego, Ron Burgundy.
The ceremony included a Dedication with award, a speech and Q & A with Ron and the audience, and a sneak-peak viewing of Anchorman 2. It was definitely an un-heard of event anywhere else!
Our team ended up sending someone out to go and cover this, and he ended up getting a front row seat and some awesome, first-hand photos for us to show you. If you click on the picture below, you can live the action for yourself!

Cinco De Mayo isn't the only reason to whip up a cocktail this weekend...Tomorrow is the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby! Break out your finest (and largest) hat... grab a mint julep... and learn some derby facts.
From louisville.about.com & KYForward...
• The Kentucky Derby is known as the "Most Exciting two minutes in sport" and is the longest continuous sporting event in the United States.
• The Kentucky Derby is a 1.25 mile race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses. The Kentucky Derby draws an average of 150,000 visitors each year, including residents, out-of-towners, celebrities, presidents, and even members of royal families.
• 1930 Triple Crown winner Gallant Fox is the only Triple Crown winner to sire another Triple Crown winner (1935 winner Omaha).
• The mint julep (the official cocktail) was introduced in 1939.
• 1973 Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown winner Secretariat still hold the Derby record for fastest time at one minute, 59 and two-fifths seconds.
• The most well-known Kentucky Derby tradition -the draping of the blanket of roses over the winner – began in the late 1800s... withover 550 roses in each blanket. That must be heavy.
Mint Julep – The Mint Julep is the official drink of the Kentucky Derby. It is an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint, and a sweet syrup.
Burgoo – A thick, meaty stew that is the traditional meal of the Kentucky Derby.
Millionaire's Row – The premium seating area that houses all of the rich and famous Kentucky Derby guests during the races.
Triple Crown – A series of three races, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes, that is run annually by a group of thoroughbred horses.

The Infield – The flat, grassy area inside of the track. The infield is best-known for hosting the largest Kentucky Derby party.
