During the two decades since the emergence of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), many changes have been noted in the demographics, complications, and treatment of this epidemic. 1,2 It is important to be aware that AIDS is no longer a disease confined to the homosexual male population. Indeed, in the past decade, there has been an increasing prevalence of AIDS among intravenous drug abusers and women. 3 The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been associated with a dramatic reduction in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated morbidity and mortality. 1-3 By effectively suppressing viral replication, HAART results in a decrease in viral load and a rise in the CD4 lymphocyte count, with an associated reduced prevalence of various opportunistic infections and certain neoplasms. Following dramatic reductions in the number of new AIDS cases and deaths in the United States in the mid-1990s, a plateau in morbidity and mortality was observed at the end of the last decade. 3 Importantly, the battle against AIDS looms largely on a global basis, with continued explosive growth of the epidemic in the setting of significant barriers to antiretroviral therapy.
Pulmonary disorders, particularly respiratory infections, remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected individuals, even in the current era of potent antiretroviral therapy. Interestingly, demographic and therapy changes of HIV infection have been accompanied by changes in the frequency and nature of the pulmonary complications of AIDS and their imaging features. 4 In this article, we review the various pulmonary complications of AIDS, with a particular emphasis upon recent trends in imaging features of pulmonary disorders as shown on chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) examinations.
Because the various pulmonary complications of HIV occur with different frequencies among patients with specific risk factors, different levels of immune compromise, and various prophylactic therapies, one should combine all these factors along with the clinical presentation and the recognized radiographic pattern in order to reach the most likely correct diagnosis. 5 Of these parameters, the patient's immune status, as reflected by the serum CD4 lymphocyte count, is considered the most important determinant for assessing the relative likelihood of various pulmonary complications (Table). 4-7
Chest radiography is usually the first imaging test obtained for the assessment of an HIV-infected individual with respiratory symptoms. Despite atypical manifestations and overlapping features among several entities, the chest radiograph is fairly accurate for diagnosing common complications. 8 Even in asymptomatic HIV patients, an abnormal chest radiograph usually signifies an active process. 9 CT is considered as a second-line study for problems unresolved by chest radiography. CT, particularly using high resolution (HRCT), is more sensitive in detecting various opportunistic infections when the chest radiograph is normal. 7 CT is also very useful in assessing patients for complications of pneumonia, such as abscess and empyema; in detecting and characterizing enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes; and in staging AIDS-related malignancies.
Although mainly cell-mediated immunity is impaired in HIV infection, humoral immunity is also altered. 10 In particular, B-cell dysfunction is associated with high risk for frequent infections with encapsulated bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae . 10,11 In recent years, bacterial infections, including infectious airways disease and pneumonia, have surpassed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) as the most common cause of pulmonary infection in HIV-positive patients. 10 Although bacterial pneumonia often occurs early in the course of HIV, the risk for this infection progressively increases with decreasing CD4 counts. 10 Most episodes of pneumonia occur secondary to S pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae , the same organisms that cause most community-acquired pneumonia in the general population. 11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa has also recently been recognized as a cause of pulmonary infection in AIDS, especially among patients with a recent history of hospitalization, antibiotic use, or steroid therapy. 12 AIDS patients are also at risk for infection with unusual zoonoses such as Rhodococcus equi , 11 an organism that is more commonly encountered in horses, cattle, and swine, and Bartonella henselae and B quintana , the causative agents of bacillary angiomatosis. 13
Patients with bacterial pneumonia typically present with an acute onset of fever and productive cough. 14 In most cases, bacterial pneumonia presents radiographically as single or multiple sites of focal consolidation, in either a segmental or lobar distribution 4,7,8 (Figure 1). Atypical patterns, including bilateral diffuse opacities, are not uncommon. 8 Importantly, complications, such as bacteremia and abscess, develop more often in HIV-infected individuals with bacterial pneumonia than in non-HIV patients. 7,11
Pyogenic infectious airways diseases, including infectious bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and bronchiectasis, have been increasingly recognized in HIV-positive patients in recent years. 4,15 Chest radiographs of patients with acute bacterial bronchitis are usually normal, but may show bronchial wall thickening. 16 In contrast, the high-resolution CT features of infectious bronchiolitis are characteristic and include small nodular and branching, Y- and V-shaped centrilobular opacities, which represent bronchioles that are impacted with inflammatory secretions. This pattern has been coined the tree-in-bud appearance. 16 Although pyogenic infections are the most common cause of proliferative small airways disease in AIDS patients, viral and mycobacterial infections may produce similar imaging findings.
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
P carinii pneumonia remains the most common serious AIDS-related opportunistic infection, despite a declining incidence secondary to HAART and prophylactic use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ). 17-19 P carinii pneumonia usually occurs in persons not receiving medical care, 20-22 and whose CD4 counts are <200 cells/mm 3 . 20 Affected patients generally present with a hi tory of approximately 1 month of fever, dry cough, and dyspnea. 20,21
The classic chest radiographic presentation of PCP is a bilateral perihilar or diffuse symmetric interstitial pattern, which may be finely granular, reticular, or ground-glass in appearance 4,20 (Figure 2A). Importantly, the chest radiograph may be normal in approximately one-third of cases at the time of presentation. 20 CT, particularly HRCT, is very helpful in detecting PCP in symptomatic patients with normal or equivocal radiographic findings. 20,23 The classic HRCT finding in PCP is extensive ground-glass attenuation (Figure 2B). It is often distributed in a patchy or geographic fashion, with a predilection for the central, perihilar regions of the lungs. 20 Cystic lung disease is observed in up to one-third of cases (Figure 3), and may be complicated by pneumothorax. 20
As tuberculosis (TB) is both highly curable and contagious, prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential. 24 The HIV-infected individuals at particularly high risk for TB include intravenous drug abusers and patients from areas where TB is endemic. 24 Tuberculosis can occur at any stage of HIV infection. 24 In fact, reactivation (postprimary) TB is often one of the initial manifestations of HIV infection. Presenting symptoms may include more than a week of cough, night sweats, and weight loss. 14 Typical imaging features include parenchymal opacities with associated cavitation, often located within the apical, posterior, and superior segments of the lungs. 24-26 In patients with decreased CD4 counts (<200 cells/mm 3 ), one will observe findings typically associated with primary TB (regardless of the actual mechanism of infection), including consolidation and lymph-node enlargement. 24-26 At advanced levels of immune suppression, a minority of patients may have normal chest radiographs, though CT will often show abnormalities such as small nodules and lymph node enlargement. 25
The immune reconstitution syndrome (also known as reversal syndrome) refers to a newly described phenomenon that may be observed in AIDS patients who are being treated for tuberculosis infection and are also receiving antiretroviral therapy. 27 In the setting of immune restoration, such patients may exhibit new or worsening lymph node enlargement, lung paren-chymal disease, and/or pleural effusions, accompanied by onset of fever (Figure 4). Such paradoxical reactions are thought to be immunologically mediated by a heightened immune response. 27 The diagnosis requires exclusion of other important causes, including noncompliance with therapy, drug resistance, other superimposed disease process, and drug reaction. 26,27
Atypical mycobacterial infections
Atypical mycobacterial infections in AIDS patients are usually secondary to Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) and, less commonly, due to M kansasii . 4,28,29 Because MAI is a less virulent organism than M tuberculosis , it is usually encountered in the setting of more advanced immunosuppression (CD4 <50/mm 3 ). 4,28,29 Thoracic MAI involvement usually occurs in the setting of disseminated disease, with the gastrointestinal tract serving as the main entry site in most cases. Imaging findings in the lungs are variable and include multifocal patchy consolidation, ill-defined nodules, and cavities. 4,28,29 Lymphadenopathy is frequently present, but is observed less frequently than it is in patients with TB.
Fungal infections
Fungal infections are a relatively uncommon cause of pulmonary infection in AIDS patients but are more prevalent in endemic areas. 4,30 The most common fungal pathogen to involve the lungs in AIDS patients is Cryptococcus neoformans . 4,30 Less common fungal infections include aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and coccidiomycosis. Fungal pulmonary infection usually occurs in the setting of advanced immunosuppression (CD4 <100/mm 3 ). Imaging findings include nodules, reticular or reticulonodular opacities, and foci of consolidation (Figure 5). 4,30,31 Parenchymal abnormalities may be accompanied by lymph node enlargement and pleural effusion.
Although infection with Aspergillus is uncommonly encountered in AIDS, its incidence is increasing. 30,32 This infection occurs almost exclusively in HIV-positive individuals with CD4 counts <50 cells/mm 3 and neutropenia. 30,32 The most common imaging presentation is cavitary disease with an upper lobe predominance. 4,33
Viral infections
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral agent identified in the lungs of AIDS patients. 34 However, it is much more frequently a colonizer than an actual cause of pneumonia. Cytomegalovirus pneumonitis occurs in patients with advanced levels of immunosuppression (CD4 <100/mm 3 ) who almost always have documented extrathoracic CMV infection. 4 The most common imaging features of CMV pneumonitis are ground-glass opacities and alveolar consolidation, which may mimic PCP. 34 Other imaging findings include nodules, masses, and small airways disease. 34
Early in the AIDS era, up to 40% of homosexual men presented at the time of their initial AIDS diagnosis with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). 4 Subsequently, there has been a continuous decrease in the incidence of KS among HIV-infected people, from approximately 10% to 20% in the early 1990s to even lower levels at present. 35 Kaposi's sarcoma is a multicentric disease that frequently involves the skin, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs. Pulmonary KS in the absence of mucocutaneous involvement is uncommon. 36 The CD4 cell count in patients with pulmonary KS is usually <100 cells/mm 3 . 37
The most common presenting symptoms of pulmonary KS are dyspnea and cough; hemoptysis is less common. 38 Characteristic findings on chest radiography include thickening along the peribronchovascular bundles, often in the perihilar regions. As the tumor grows, reticulonodular opacities may appear, mainly in the lower lobes. The interstitial and ill-defined nodular opacities may coalesce to form dense areas of alveolar consolidation. Thickened interlobular septae are commonly observed. 4,37,39 Pleural effusions are also common; they may be unilateral or bilateral and may vary considerably in size. 4 CT of the chest offers additional benefits over conventional chest radiography by revealing mediastinal lymphadenopathy, which is present in 50% of cases, and improved characterization of the bronchovascular pattern of lung parenchymal opacities. 39
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is the second most common malignancy in AIDS, occurring in 2% to 10% of HIV-infected individuals. 35,40 The incidence of lymphomas in AIDS patients may be on the rise due to longer life expectancies in AIDS. 41 However, there is conflicting data regarding the relative incidence of NHL in the HAART era as compared with previously. 19,42 The disease is twice as common in whites and males than in African Americans and women, respectively. 35 AIDS-related NHL usually affects patients with CD4+ levels <100 cells/mm 3 . 43 At presentation, 75% of the patients are at advanced stage (stage 3 or 4), and constitutional B-cell symptoms are commonly reported. Extranodal involvement of the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and bone marrow are frequently observed. 35
Pulmonary involvement is clinically diagnosed in only 6% to 10% of AIDS patients with NHL. 44 The most common symptoms are cough, dyspnea, and pleuritic chest pain.
Intrathoracic NHL in AIDS is most often extranodal. 4 The most common radiologic findings consist of multiple pulmonary nodules, areas of consolidation, and pleural effusions. 44,45 Reticular opacities and masses are also observed relatively frequently. 44 With regard to lung nodules, they are usually well circumscribed and range in size from 0.5 to 5 cm in diameter; air bronchograms are frequently present, and a halo of ground-glass attenuation may be observed around the nodules on thin-slice CT. 45 One distinctive form is primary pulmonary AIDS-related lymphoma, which is defined by exclusive lymphomatous parenchymal involvement with no other sites of involvement identified up to 3 months following diagnosis 40 (Figure 6). CT shows mediastinal and hilar lymph-adenopathy in approximately half of patients imaged. 44 AIDS-related NHL may occasionally present as a mediastinal mass in the absence of pulmonary parenchymal disease (Figure 7).
Lung cancer
Epidemiological surveys continue to debate a possible link between HIV infection and an increased risk for the development of bronchogenic carcinoma. 41,46,47 It is generally accepted that patients with lung cancer and HIV infection are often younger, present at a more advanced stage, and have a more fulminant course of disease than the general population with lung cancer. 48,49 Similar to the general population, lung cancer occurs in HIV in association with cigarette smoking, and adenocarcinoma is the most common cell type. 44,49 Prognosis has historically been considered dismal, but a recent report suggests that the disease may be treatable in the short- or intermediate-term. 50 The most frequent radiographic presentation, similar to HIV-negative individuals, is a central or peripheral mass (Figure 8). 48,51 Ipsilateral hilar and variable mediastinal lymphadenopathy, postobstructive consolidation or atelectasis, and pleural effusion or pleural mass are also common. 49,51
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is characterized by interstitial lung infiltration by mature lymphocytes and plasma cells creating peribronchovascular nodules without airspace involvement. 4,52 Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia is seen in 30% to 40% of pediatric HIV-infected patients with pulmonary disease but less frequently in adults with AIDS. 53 Patients may be asymptomatic or show an insidious onset of respiratory distress with cough and mild hypoxemia.
Characteristic findings on chest radiography consist of fine or coarse reticular and nodular opacities (Figure 9) with an occasional alveolar component. 52 CT reveals ill-defined 2- to4-mm nodules, often in peribronchovascular distribution and bilateral areas of ground-glass attenuation. 54,55 On thin-section CT, poorly defined centrilobular nodules involving all lung zones can be identified. 55 Thickening of bronchovascular bundles, thickened septal lines, small subpleural nodules, and cystic air spaces are also observed in a majority of patients. Mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy is frequently seen. 55
Recently published reports suggest that there may be an increased susceptibility to pulmonary emphysema among HIV-positive smokers (Figure 10). 56 A comparison between a cohort of HIV-positive patients without history of pulmonary complications and HIV-negative controls revealed an incidence of emphysema of 15% among the HIV patients and only 2% among the control subjects. 56 It is possible that the pathogenesis of emphysema is accelerated by the attendant pulmonary infections.
Cardiovascular complications
As survivial of HIV patients increases due to HAART, cardiovascular complications are becoming more manifest in these patients. Some of these many entities include cardio-myopathy, pulmonary artery hypertension, and atherosclerosis, the latter possibly related to protease inhibitor therapies. 57 It has also been suggested that venous thromboembolic disease (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) is of increased incidence in HIV-positive patients (Figure 11). 58 Possible links between cardiovascular diseases and HIV are the subject of ongoing investigation.
Even in the current era of potent antiretroviral therapy, pulmonary complications of AIDS remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected individuals. Interpretation of imaging studies should integrate demographic, clinical, and laboratory information with radiographic pattern recognition. Although chest radiography remains the mainstay of thoracic imaging in HIV-infected patients, CT plays an in-creasingly important complementary role in establishing an accurate diagnosis when chest radiographic findings are equivocal or nonspecific.

- make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to anyone else on Skype around the globe
- send and receive unlimited instant messages with other people on Skype
- call international phone numbers at our low rates
Today, the app will work on BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition and Tour 9630 smartphones, as well as DROID by Motorola, DROID ERIS by HTC and the Motorola DEVOUR. We'll add support for more phones and platforms later this year.

I uninstalled skype mobile from my HTC Incredible because of issues including, no synching of contacts with the PC version, unblockable spam, no wifi support, etc. Maybe I'll give it another shot if they refine the program in the future.
peterparkes said 4 years ago
If your Nokia phone is on this list then you should be able to download Skype and use it just fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to stay tuned for additional phone support announcements later this year – I can't make any promises though!

Is there a way to block people in Skype Mobile (Verizon) from sending a Skype chat if they are not in your contact list? The desktop version has this ability. The only feature I see in Skype Mobile is to block callers who aren't in your contact list, not chatters. This is absolutely a necessity to block spammers. I never have this issue on my desktop version because I block chats if they are not in my contact list. And now that until i set up Skype Mobile on my phone, within days I have spam. Please advise as to why this block functionality is missing from Skype Mobile?

Pretty disappointed that it is over the voice network at Verizon. If it was supported over 3G or WIFI, I would not have to sign up for Verizon's voice plan for $40 but just the unlimited data plan, and instead have subscribed for the unlimited U.S. & Canada monthly plan from Skype for $3, and come up with a $37 savings for calls. The international calling feature is cool, but I am currently using Skype to Go from my Windows Mobile phone to achieve the same low rate provided by Skype with my Skype Credit. I guess I need to wait to purchase my next phone until Skype is available over 3G for the iPhone, so I can forego purchasing a voice plan at AT&T.

Hi is there any word on updates regarding the issue of spam? The verizon faq mentiones that the setting set on PC should transfer to skype mobile, but that is clearly not the case with "only contacts" set in all instances possible both on the pc and mobile version…
That faq also mentions that read messages can reoccur as unread in skype mobile when resigning in, is there an update coming to amend this? it only really affects me for the few spam that have already occured, but it nevertheless annoying.
Otherwise I really like the application, being in US with family in Europe have been a life saver to get all their skype call at any given time as a normal phone call without it costing them anything.
Thanks. -

Verizon charged me from skype to skype. The spec were droid to itouch running skype. They credited my account and i guess the spec was that i had an account with west states. not a nation wide plan. That is my only explanation. if you work for skype or verixon please respond to my email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
yenchih5817 said 4 years ago
I have multiple numbers (home, office, cell) for 1 contact. How do I view them all on my Verizon phone? It only shows the first number and I can't figure out how to access to the rest of the numbers. thanks.
peterparkes said 4 years ago
@wouland we released an update some time ago which should have address the settings problem – please let me know if you're still receiving messages from people who aren't on your contact list.
@tennismike this is something that Verizon support should be able to help you with – glad you were able to get your account credited.
@yenchih5817 you should be able to see all of the numbers from within Skype – for help with your phone's address book, get in touch with Verizon support.
yenchih5817 said 4 years ago
Peter, the support from Skype said that the function is not available. Also, it keeps showing "connecting" all day today. There seem to be a lot of trouble still for this program.
shanejw said 4 years ago
The new Skype application for Verizon is either poorly or disingenuously designed. Let me explain. I had been using the application from its launch on my Storm to call the UK.
Turns out, after being slapped with $300 in long distance charges, that none of the calls that I had been making through the Skype application were being billed this way. The reason being is that I was dialing in the numbers in the skype application but without a + sign in front of the number. So I was in the Skype application, dialing in the correct field, but because I didn't dial a + sign first it was charging directly to my Verizon account.
For 2 weeks I was back and forth with Verizon trying to troubleshoot what was going on, and they at the end of all of this told me that I was stuck with the bill. I decided to make one last call, got talking to someone quite knowledgeable in Verizon's tech support who I spent over an hour on the phone with, and struck a deal to have the $300 bill reduced to their international phone rate. So instead of the nearly $2 a minute, they reduced it to the 25 cents a minute I would be charged to mobile phones in the UK if I had a long distance plan (which at the time I didn't).
So to all of you out there using the app, you've been warned! Not sure if Verizon has done this as a source of revenue generation or if in fact the Skype application is legitimately crap do to a huge oversight. If it does not say 'Skype call' after you've dialed, expect a fat bill in the mail and terrible customer service to follow.
peterparkes said 4 years ago
@shanejw sorry hear about your experience – that doesn't sound great at all. I've passed your comment on to the team at Skype working on the partnership. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with in the meantime.
peterparkes said 4 years ago
@shanejw I've spoken to our mobile team, and they tell me that this should be fixed in a forthcoming update to the app. Sorry about your experience!

mahitha.singirikonda said 4 years ago
Helllo All,
I have a verizon 3g[ Droid] connection and have skype calling credit account- when I try to call US numbers, they are getting routed via wireless carrier plan. How can I use my skype credit account to make calls to US numbers from my verizon 3g phone- any suggestions are appreciated.
richard.munday said 4 years ago
Maybe another company will have a system that works same as Skype (not iskoot) that we can use on our blackberry 9700, the iphone is rubbish, no good for business, SO WHY HAVE SKYPE forgotten us …
leozhuk said 3 years ago
Need Skype app for HTC G1 (Android OS, T-Mobile)… Limiting it to Verizon service borderlines with word "RIDICULOUS". When you, Skype (and @peterparkes), gonna get a grip of reality and come to terms with market needs? Are you waiting for competition to push you out? If you gonna play these "games" with public, people will start closing Skype accounts (that crossed my mind many times already) you'll end up in the "hole" with Verizon. That's for sure…
f0rd.prefect said 3 years ago
@Peter Parkes The need for Skype over WiFI on the Android OS is tremendous.
The first issue is Verizon's equipment. I don't know about many of the other Android OS phones from VZW, but the Motorola Droid 825 only has CDMA capability, NO GSM capability. As soon as you leave North America, the only way it has any communication with the rest of the world is through WiFi.
The second issue is that even if it was a GSM phone, I would need to either go find and buy a SIM card in that country, and who knows how the charges would come out on that, going through the Voice channel instead of the 3G data pipe, OR I would need to subscribe to VZW's international Data plan, if there is such a thing. If Skype Mobile for Android supported WiFi calling, none of that would need to take place.
Thirdly, there is an alternative. It's to carry another device. Skype on a PSP, iPod Touch, or even my old Windows Mobile VX6700 phone, would use the free WiFi at the Airport or the Hotel to make SkypeOut calls. I could even pop open a $250 netbook and throw on a headset to make the same calls. But users don't want to carry ANOTHER device, especially when traveling internationally. We already carry too many gadgets, power adapters, usb cables, etc.
Instead, Skype on the Motorola Droid has no function at all the minute the phone leaves North America. So the minute they close the cabin door in Atlanta, my Droid has less functionality than a Netbook, which incidentally, costs less.
I simply don't understand how Skype doesn't release Skype Mobile for Android OS into the worldwide Android Market, and let it run over WiFi, as it does on the aforementioned iPod, PSP, Windows Mobile, etc.
cspilotlear said 3 years ago
I agree with f0rd. This app does nothing for the people overseas. Luckily I am still in my 30 day grace period with Verizon….. Next up AT&T.
fred.harvey said 3 years ago
I am trying to uninstall Skype from my Droid, but when I go to "Manage Apps" Skype is not one of the applications listed; therefore, I cannot uninstall it. How does one uninstall Skype from the Droid once it has been installed?
pevarnj said 3 years ago
Any idea when the app will work over wifi? It would be nice to have at least the text-based services at my house where I unfortunately do not get 3g coverage.
marypthomas said 3 years ago
I have a Skpye Pro account, but I am having trouble making a phone call to France. So, I downloaded the Skype Mobile app for my Verizon Droid phone, specifically to call international numbers. I am in the US (CA), but Verizon is blocking my calls to France. Is this supposed to happen?
alex.rumi said 3 years ago
Any idea when skype mobile for droid will be available in canada? I downloaded it but found i cant use it here, and theres no wayto uninstall it or keeping it from running in the back of my droid incredible.
davidspringborn said 3 years ago
I had used this on my Blackberry tour for a while but now it refuses to dial the access number. My wife's Storm 2 works fine. I can receive calls and I can text but can't dial out. I have reinstalled the app and I have reinstalled the OS. Nothing fixes this. I have to text a friend to call me for it to work. thankfully I rarely use this, though I want to use it more often.
rhok4me said 3 years ago
I am also disappointed Skype will not work on a wifi with the Droid 2 on Verizon. Unless they loosen the leash, I will need to get something else to make calls when I am in Europe. Complaining aside, if and when will we see Verizon allow online numbers from Skype?
ashaking1 said 3 years ago
I'm very disappointed with this app…..Don't cheat by doing such a cheap business and the SKYPE GUYS should test their app before releasing in to the market….I run over my monthly minutes in a span of two weeks…I'm making calls from droid to iphone and i taught that the calling from skype to skype was free…..but the verizon was using my calling minutes….Is the same happens to any of the guys and is there any solution to rectify from this. I saw //tennismike// also has the same problem. skype guys respond to this…try to rectify the problem..

I honestly didn't notice it at first, was on vacation. Now I'm a bit curious.
How can I trade Wally when I'm making a championship run and I have players dropping in scoring?
I actually didn't realize that Stackhouse is your third best player this season. Props to Van Exel and Mash for having pretty monster seasons.

Exactly, he should be by far my best. I know he wasn't playing up to an A- A- scorer, but never checked to confirm that he no longer was.
Looking to package Shareef 24, and Ratliff 28 for a great player that plays the 3,4, or 5.
I meant to him lol. Moiso has been great for me, but he isn't a GREAT player.
Think he's looking for a star, like 25 ppg + and being a great defender for that group of guys.
Probably looking for someone more like 30 and 14 with two PoTM awards... lol

Oh, I also forgot to mention the HST- it will chase us out as well!
NP Rank:
Was it last week that I invited Now Public members to peruse my nascent group on Facebook- which I encourage any of you who are on EI, are forced into work overseas (like myself), or have serious qualms about how the Canadian Government is reacting to a colossal problem that has spread out of control and has the potential to become even worse.
East Van Ray at first brought to my attention that my first post was not newsworthy, in part, he is correct. Ray "This Bud's for You!" and I don't mean that in any sort of derogatory or negative manner- here is your response.
At present we in Canada have mainstream media outlets that are not even seeing past the point that the reason why EI benefits are dropping isn't because people are finding jobs; they are running out of benefits and companies are hiring from within. They post external hires to be on the right side of the law, and will only hire internally because it is far more economically viable. It is not what you know it is who ya know! Meanwhile our supposedly credible news outlets are touting this as a victory for Canada's Economic Plan. I have never been a big fan of blaming political parties because it does not matter who is in power. Once they reach office their ideologies are skewed by reality and bureaucracy, however there are of course undoubtedly certain exceptions.
Should we continue on the path of neglecting the unemployed, overqualified and most importantly those who cannot deal with the frustrating amount of inflation that is pushing most of us here in Vancouver to the brink of chaos, considering land values have largely become a speculators dream. Moreover, there are the progeny of the landed wealthy (those who came to Vancouver in the 50's, 60's, and 70's and bought waterfront property for 60 thousand dollars that is now worth sometimes over 7 million!) who are taking up fixed/ variable mortgages that they will likely have difficulty renegotiating, therefore, we will end up with another crisis in a few years time.
An aging workforce with a an abundance of skills will have to comeback as mentors (as is already happening), and the employees that certain companies are retrenching in the tertiary sector: Overpaid Senior staff are being replaced by younger staff with similar qualifications so they can pay them 25 cents on the dollar instead of the 75 cents the older retrenched employee was once paid. Then they are throwing them back out onto the street and expecting them to find affordable housing in decent neighbourhoods... The government is absolutely oblivious to what is happening; and if they were to give you an answer they would tell you about all of the wonderful programs going on to combat this when in the meantime, the programs they have created are completely futile.
As for Canada's Economic Plan, retraining the workforce, several folk I have encountered have done this with disastrous results and ended up into more debt paying for these supposed miracle programs. Why I ask? Is the younger generation who are now expected to replace and take care of our aging parents in a society who has no respect for their children past 18 actually going take on the role to pay money they do not have for their own parents who most of them despise: Social security is bankrupt and non- existent! Will all of the baby boomers progeny be so lucky to inherit any capital? Alberta already has an active elder neglect problem where billboards are being placed on the street by the government to raise awareness.
Future employment could go anywhere in the IT department and many pundits are predicting that many new jobs will have to be created to accommodate new technology we haven't even heard of. Are we preparing for this? Do now employable Canadians with obsolete degrees and obsolete experience let alone our new Canadian immigrants who take longer to integrate into certain roles which make them less attractive hires have time for this. They need help now, not a partisan federal government who is placating the issue so they can pad the landing strip for their next election win. Canada's mainstream media is hard up to report on any of this while inflation continues to hit everyone hard, despite the fact that an economist can manipulate his or her figures at anytime to suit their agendas and tell us that inflation is steady... BS. You can by a 2002 S- Class Mercedes for next to nothing, but then you have to fill up your V12 with gas which makes up for the over 85 percent depreciation the vehicle suffered. In the meantime the price of a fuel efficient vehicle skyrockets in order for you to save money on gas balancing the equation.
The point being we have mismanaged what I like to call our created number system so outrageously that nobody knows who to believe or where to turn. How are we going to fix this for countless amounts of people who went to school did all of the right things when they could have been better off and a lot less stressed out as pot farmers- a commodity California is now considering taxing; I hope they place a harm reduction strategy in place at the same time!
In Vancouver we just had a multi billion dollar party that was a blast- the Winter Olympics, but instead of riding off of its coattails in this city and creating a mardi gras mania for years to come that would create hundreds of new jobs in policing, hospitality and tourism we have gone gently into the good night... And are further punishing our demoralized populace
With a tiny manufacturing sector, we are forcing people to leave Canada to fund their addiction to it. A reality for most people in this world who are working overseas and remitting their earnings back home. Except here, our governments will figure ever single way how to squeeze every penny in taxation out of that. Why not start re- evaluating our commodity chains and vices ripe for taxation because our economy is out of wack and losing money in too many places where it could be gaining. Does Canada deserve this? Do long time Canadian residents deserve this? Absolutely not. Our Canada no longer includes or deserves its citizens because it perceives it has nothing left to exploit. Besides what happens to all of those taxes that we pay? Say goodbye to the middle- class, the cornerstone of every nutritious economy, arguably it is already dead. This is why I believe the Canadian flag has been turned upside down in disgrace (funny I had a great fiasco over this on my facebook group to draw awareness to this crusade I am trying to champion; it was almost to the point of death threats over an upside down Canadian flag, little did I realize not all could figure out the symbolism behind the charade and many found it extremely offensive, you cannot please everyone...)
I invite you all to checkout my facebook group that is growing rapidly in the midst of career fairs and employment open houses flooded with folks in the same position. When will you be the next causality of the working poor? You simply do not know it is like a late night black ops purge! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=107389105947611
The name of the group is: Unemployed Overqualified Canadians Who Can't Get Jobs in their own Country.
Your thoughts and criticisms are my pleasure.

10/29/2010: USCIRF Recommends that Secretary Clinton Raise Religious Freedom Issues in China Meetings |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 29, 2010 WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make a previously unscheduled stop in China Saturday to consult with Dai Bingguo, State Councilor of the People's Republic of China. The two will reportedly discuss a number of pressing bilateral and strategic issues, including President Hu Jintao's January 2011 visit.
USCIRF urges the Secretary to expand on some of her recent statements about the importance of human rights to U.S.-China relations and to raise universal human rights and religious freedom concerns prominently and publicly, as well as work to build international consensus on China's poor human rights record, as the Administration has done recently on economic and security issues.

A field beside the railway tracks at Glover Road and the Langley Bypass is being turned into a $9.5 million luxury auto dealership and service centre.
The Mercedes/Smart Car business is on a 3.8 acre site and will feature a 46,500 square foot building.
Work crews were already on site with heavy equipment when dignitaries gathered Sept. 6 for the ground breaking ceremony.
Dilawri Group, which has 41 dealerships from Ontario west, will operate the Mercedes/Smart Car dealership.
The representatives of Mercedes Canada and Dilawri weren't concerned about the international economic situation.
"The luxury business is very strong right now in Canada, very strong in B.C.," Ajay Dilawri commented.
Mercedes plans to add more dealerships across Canada.
"We're embarking on a tremendous growth strategy in Canada," Mercedes Canada president and CEO Tim Reuss said.
When looking around for where to put a new dealership, they zeroed in on the vacant Langley site.
"Our research has shown that Langley has a strong economy," Dilawri said.
When the dealership opens, it will employ just over 100 people.
"Years ago, this was all fields around here," Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said about the commercial and industrial area around Glover and the Langley Bypass.
He said the dealership offers another choice for consumers, and that having several luxury brands near each other (the dealership is across the street from the Collection auto mall) will encourage people to come here.
Reuss said Mercedes opted for a stand-alone dealership, not going in with other brands in the auto mall.
Mercedes wanted the site on busy roadways. Reuss pointed to the passing traffic, which includes light industrial and commercial trucks, noting that Mercedes makes work vehicles as well as luxury autos.
"It's between two major arteries," added Dilawri.
Planning for the new facility started more than two years ago, the height of the international economic crisis, but that didn't stop the project.
"I would have to say what crisis, at least in Canada," Reuss said.
Mercedes sales have increased nine per cent and demand is strong for luxury brands, he explained.
"The potential is there. The market is there," he said.

Looking at the Packers Remaining Schedule after the Bye Week (with podcast)
Coming into the season, there were a couple stretches that appeared difficult on the Packers' schedule.
The first tough part of the Packers' schedule began on opening weekend, while the second challenging stretch figured to be coming out of the bye week.
In week one, the San Francisco 49ers came to Lambeau Field and controlled the game from the kickoff, as the 49ers' stout defense completely shut the Packers down. The Packers were 0-1, and the schedule didn't get any easier.
Listen to the accompanying podcast using the player below or download the podcast from itunes.
The Packers were, again, playing at home in week two. This time, against a hungry and much-improved Chicago Bears team. Tramon Williams caught as many passes as Brandon Marshall, and defensive coordinator Dom Capers continued his dominance against Jay Cutler, confusing the Bears quarterback into four interceptions and a 28.2 passer rating.
Now back to .500, the Packers traveled to Seattle to play the Seahawks on Monday Night Fotoball. The Seattle crowd was, as usual, extremely loud, helping the Seahawks blow past the Packers' offensive line for a season-high eight sacks. We all know how the game ended–the Packers won the game…except they didn't.

Link Wray
Link Wray
Link Wray may never get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but his contribution to the language of rockin' guitar would still be a major one, even if he had never walked into another studio after cutting "Rumble." Quite simply, Link Wray invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists. Listen to any of the tracks he recorded between that landmark instrumental in 1958 through his Swan recordings in the early '60s and you'll hear the blueprints for heavy metal, thrash, you name it. Though rock historians always like to draw a nice, clean line between the distorted electric guitar work that fuels early blues records to the late-'60s Hendrix-Clapton-Beck-Page-Townshend mob, with no stops in between, a quick spin of any of the sides Wray recorded during his golden decade punches holes in that theory right quick. If a direct line can be traced forward from a black blues musician crankin' up his amp and playing with a ton of violence and aggression to a young white guy doing a mutated form of same, the line points straight to Link Wray, no contest. Pete Townshend summed it up for more guitarists than he probably realized when he said, "He is the king; if it hadn't been for Link Wray and "'Rumble,'" I would have never picked up a guitar."

Directly from the mouth of our man, Brian Kachinsky:
BMX has allowed me to live inside the history books that once just
weighed down my backpack as I rode my bike school. A few years ago
on an Etnies trip we hopped a fence and rode a bank-to-rail in front
of Hitler's former airport in Berlin. That was crazy. I've also got to
pedal down the same streets that Manuel Noriega once marched his army
down in Panama. I've manualed through Red Square in Moscow, done a
barspin in front of the former KGB headquarters and past countless
memoirs of Stalin.
This video is a brief glimpse into an experience that goes beyond
words. Riding in Saddam Hussein's palace was insane. These brief
minutes of riding through his former empire made things more vivid to
me than any history book or Discovery Channel program ever could. I'm
thankful for the experience and hope you enjoy.

The Defence of Lucknow
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892)
The Siege of Lucknow was one of the most terrible incidents of the Indian Mutiny. It was prolonged for 87 days and was finally relieved by General Campbell on Nov. 16, 1857.
of England, not for a season, O banner of Britain, hast thou
Floated in conquering battle or flapt to the battle-cry!
Never with mightier glory than when we had reared thee on high
Flying at top of the roofs in the ghastly siege of Lucknow
Shot through the staff or the halyard, but ever we raised thee anew,
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew.
Frail were the works that defended the hold that we held with our lives
Women and children among us, God help them, our children and wives!
Hold it we mightand for fifteen days or for twenty at most.
Never surrender, I charge you, but every man die at his post!
Voice of the dead whom we loved, our Lawrence the best of the brave:
Cold were his brows when we kissed himwe laid him that night in his grave.
Every man die at his post! and there hailed on our houses and halls
Death from their rifle-bullets, and death from their cannon-balls,
Death in our innermost chamber, and death at our slight barricade,
Death while we stood with the musket, and death while we stoop to the spade,
Death to the dying, and wounds to the wounded, for often there fell,
Striking the hospital wall, crashing thro it, their shot and their shell,
Deathfor their spies were among us, their marksmen were told of our best,
So that the brute bullet broke thro the brain that could think for the rest;
Bullets would sing by our foreheads, and bullets would rain at our feet
Fire from ten thousand at once of the rebels that girdled us round
Death at the glimpse of a finger from over the breadth of a street,
Death from the heights of the mosque and the palace, and death in the ground!
Mine? yes, a mine! Countermine! down, down! and creep thro the hole!
Keep the revolver in hand! you can hear himthe murderous mole!
Quiet, ah! quietwait till the point of the pickaxe be through!
Click with the pick, coming nearer and nearer again than before
Now let it speak, and you fire, and the dark pioneer is no more;
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew!
Ay, but the foe sprung his mine many times, and it chanced on a day
Soon as the blast of that underground thunderclap echoed away,
Dark through the smoke and the sulphur like so many fiends in their hell
Cannon-shot, musket-shot, volley on volley, and yell upon yell
Fiercely on all the defences our myriad enemy fell.
What have they done? where is it? Out yonder. Guard the Redan!
Storm at the Water-gate! storm at the Bailey-gate! storm, and it ran
Surging and swaying all round us, as ocean on every side
Plunges and heaves at a bank that is daily devoured by the tide
So many thousands that if they be bold enough, who shall escape?
Kill or be killed, live or die, they shall know we are soldiers and men!
Ready! take aim at their leaderstheir masses are gappd with our grape
Backward they reel like the wave, like the wave flinging forward again,
Flying and foiled at the last by the handful they could not subdue;
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew.
Handful of men as we were, we were English in heart and in limb,
Strong with the strength of the race to command, to obey, to endure,
Each of us fought as if hope for the garrison hung but on him;
Stillcould we watch at all points? we were every day fewer and fewer.
There was a whisper among us, but only a whisper that past:
Children and wivesif the tigers leap into the fold unawares
Every man die at his postand the foe may outlive us at last
Better to fall by the hands that they love, than to fall into theirs!
Roar upon roar in a moment two mines by the enemy sprung
Clove into perilous chasms our walls and our poor palisades.
Rifleman, true is your heart, but be sure that your hand is as true!
Sharp is the fire of assault, better aimed are your flank fusillades
Twice do we hurl them to earth from the ladders to which they had clung,
Twice from the ditch where they shelter we drive them with hand-grenades;
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew.
Then on another wild morning another wild earthquake out-tore
Clean from our lines of defence ten or twelve good paces or more.
Riflemen, high on the roof, hidden there from the light of the sun
One has leapt up on the breach, crying out: Follow me, follow me!
Mark himhe falls! then another, and
too, and down goes he.
Had they been bold enough then, who can tell but the traitors had won?
Boardings and rafters and doorsan embrasure! make way for the gun!
Now double-charge it with grape! It is charged and we fire, and they run.
Praise to our Indian brothers, and let the dark face have his due!
Thanks to the kindly dark faces who fought with us, faithful and few,
Fought with the bravest among us, and drove them, and smote them, and slew,
That ever upon the topmost roof our banner in India blew.
Men will forget what we suffer and not what we do. We can fight!
But to be soldier all day and be sentinel all through the night
Ever the mine and assault, our sallies, their lying alarms,
Bugles and drums in the darkness, and shoutings and soundings to arms,
Ever the labour of fifty that had to be done by five,
Ever the marvel among us that one should be left alive,
Ever the day with its traitorous death from the loopholes around,
Ever the night with its coffinless corpse to be laid in the ground,
Heat like the mouth of a hell, or a deluge of cataract skies,
Stench of old offal decaying, and infinite torment of flies,
Thoughts of the breezes of May blowing over an English field,
Cholera, scurvy, and fever, the wound that
not be healed,
Lopping away of the limb by the pitifulpitiless knife,
Torture and trouble in vain,for it never could save us a life.
Valour of delicate women who tended the hospital bed,
Horror of women in travail among the dying and dead,
Grief for our perishing children, and never a moment for grief,
Toil and ineffable weariness, faltering hopes of relief,
Havelock baffled, or beaten, or butchered for all that we knew
Then day and night, day and night, coming down on the still-shattered walls
Millions of musket-bullets, and thousands of cannon-balls
But ever upon the topmost roof our banner of England blew.
Hark cannonade, fusillade! is it true what was told by the scout,
Outram and Havelock breaking their way through the fell mutineers?
Surely the pibroch of Europe is ringing again in our ears!
All on a sudden the garrison utter a jubilant shout,
Havelocks glorious Highlanders answer with conquering cheers,
Sick from the hospital echo them, women and children come out,
Blessing the wholesome white faces of Havelocks good fusileers,
Kissing the war-hardened hand of the Highlander wet with their tears!
Dance to the pibroch!saved!we are saved!is it you? is it you?
Saved by the valour of Havelock, saved by the blessing of Heaven!
Hold it for fifteen days! we have held it for eighty-seven!
And ever aloft on the palace roof the old banner of England blew.

It's kind of sad that this is only done as something to attract tourists. Of course, if the price of gasoline goes much higher . . .

Disciplined men in tanned leather armors, shining golden helms and glinting breastplates patrolled the street of the capital with disciplined efficiency, their march resonating around the paved streets as the Empire of Elysium got ready for the Rite of Ascension. Today, with the dual suns Helios and Sol illuminating the world in shades of whites and reds upon their dawning reigns, previously humble lives would change to completely different ones, as was usual for the last days of Spring in the Empire. The Rite of Ascension was in fact a three days and three nights long extravagant festival serving as the turning point for a blessed few's lives, blessing them with titles and lands and therefore elevating them from mere commoners to ennobled peers of the ancient nation.
Inside the golden spires of the Elysian Palace in the capital a similar fervor than in the streets awakened, courtiers, concubines, matriarchs and patricians whispered and planned the numerous events that would take place to honor their new peers, from gladiatorial events to sumptuous soirees and balls. The fines of linens and silk were used for their togas and the most exquisite of perfumes followed after them in delectable trails as they mingled, each wondering if the newcomers would be boons to their own ambitions or eventual threats. Servants, meanwhile, drifted from high born to ennobled, giving sips of red wines, bites of perfectly ripe fruits and skewers of juicy meats as all found themselves in the Emperor's throne room.
Emperor Judeon IV himself was regally sprawled on his throne, two of his favorite concubines offering the occasional refreshment and a steady stream of praises and compliments to their master as he awaited his newest esteemed vassals. A few moments more and the time came for the Rite to start, as the two suns each reached a specific point in the violet sky and illuminated the highest spire of the palace in a ray of multicolored light, courtesy of the gigantic prismatic obelisk in the capital's Square.
It was finally time.
Standing from his throne and making his way to the balcony overlooking both the open air throne room and the city as a whole, Judeon uttered the traditional hymns of the Rite of Ascension and said, his voice high and clear in the morning air:
May the Chosen Ones make themselves known and may they present themselves to the good people of Elysium! He intoned, his steely gaze sharp in the blinding light of the new day.
A nearly perfect circle formed bellow then, the already noble spectators letting place to those who's existence and bloodline would be changed that day, the symbol of the Empire on the paved floor stark in the morning light.

Is there a better outcome one way or the other in this election for business.
Well I think you know I'm not in political game I would last two minutes.
They throw me out but.
I think the key thing from from my perspective anyway is.
We need to have a level playing field we need to have.
In the energy field for example we have just tremendous opportunities particularly in the natural gas here we've got to.
-- game changer here we've got fuel that's it cheap abundant domestic.
We ought to just be doing everything we can and to export that.
Your target or fracking for natural gas up to about that put -- in Joanna -- shale plays which of course.
Or predicated to large extent on fracking but the opportunities for natural gas you wanna talk about.
Response to climate change and reducing CO2 emissions this is the golden.
Key to open the door.
Much more than than most renewable celebrity because you can move in the -- -- with natural gas in the five or ten year period.
You can solve a great deal of the emissions issues in this country.
But do you feel like -- -- coming down in a certain extent from a regulatory point of view on natural gas especially when you talk about shale or fracking are you concerned about that and America's energy independence as a result well I'm concerned.
About regulation in general I think we have over regulation protected federal level -- -- everybody in his right mind wants to see any things done this business we've done the safe and environmentally respectful.
-- But I am really confident and then we're pipeline terminal company not an upstream oil and gas got leave it.
I don't think I know enough about it that I'm very confident that the fracking is safe.
You've got to make sure that your carrying -- -- drilling program correctly that the casing on the wells is appropriate but.
I think it in the third party independent examination fracking will show that it's a very safe way of producing natural gas and oil.
Now an eight easing you don't get into politics and -- -- you don't have a political action committee your company does not -- mortgage you don't make political contributions.
Do you feel like one side or the other that supports your view on on fracking -- natural gas or are you worried about a return of the Obama administration in the next election.
Well I think you'd have to say that so far if you just look at what the two candidates -- this balanced.
What Romney is.
To media mix -- for the energy business and that is that we ought to have less regulation.
We ought to have -- level playing field.
We're not asking -- subsidies.
In my into the business anyway and and we'd like to see just a level playing field and we like to see natural gas develop to its fullest extent.
Before I let you -- I don't see you do a lot of interviews on TV and I hadn't heard this before that -- the chairman and CEO you receive morningstar's senior year work because you received just dollar in salary per year.
No bonuses no stock options no restricted stock you do own 24%.
-- your company's stock and obviously.
We just heard your loaded you know because you moved up on the on the Forbes list the -- -- CEOs should take that approach where you're just you're stockholder.
Well I think the reason that we did this almost fifty years ago we started this work for a dollar year.
Is that I think anytime you can align the interest of -- shareholders with your senior management that makes a lot of sense.
Not everybody will found the company not everybody can I don't think you expected ratio to work for a dollar year.
But I do think the war that you can -- CEO and senior management with the interest of the shareholder and I don't think anybody objects to paying CEOs.
Our CEOs are good dollars in the company's success -- what they object to is -- baggage of the company does doesn't do well.
And the senior management still does well and that's that's -- happening in the morning.
And part of your company is a master limited partnership which is under assault to a certain extent in this fight over who pays what taxes do you feel like.
There's a threat there.
You know I don't really think so.
We'll see what happens post election but I think everybody recognizes it.
Smashing them partnerships pay taxes just their shareholders pay the tax -- instead of the corporate in the -- -- and that.
The I think the market cap today.
And -- pieces.
The 300 billion dollars or so it's.
A sizable part of our economy in the midstream energy this.
Richard Kantor thank you so much for -- on -- originally -- keystone and right I am absolutely.

Notre Dame de Terre Sainte
Building Faith in Peace
Notre Dame de Terre Sainte is a non-profit association with international membership, founded in 2009 by Alexandre Joudé. Currently co-headquartered in Rome and Paris, its purpose is to
* Promote cultural and inter-religious dialogue, notably through cultural and academic exchanges
* Preserve ancient and modern sites sacred to the Christian, Muslim and Jewish religion
* Support economically, morally and spiritually, the local Christian community in the Holy Land
* Invite people all over the world to experience the spiritual, cultural and historical treasures of the Holy Land
Notre Dame de Terre Sainte strongly supports and aims to fulfill the commitment made by Pope Paul VI in his 1965 declaration Nostra Aetate:
Notre Dame de Terre Sainte is promoting projects in line with its commitment to dialogue and peace. Among others, it actively supports Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center on grounds of their shared principles and beliefs.
Cultural and inter-religious dialogue is Notre Dame de Terre Sainte´s core commitment. Deeper knowledge of the three monotheistic religions and better mutual understanding is also a central aim of Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center, considered by the Vatican as "a privileged place of meeting and dialogue among religions, cultures, and peoples" (John Paul II, Motu Proprio, 2004).
Travels and pilgrimages help deepen understanding of complex cultural, religious and political contexts as those of the Middle East region today.
Notre Dame de Terre Sainte is actively promoting Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center whose purpose, among others, is to "provide hospitality to pilgrims coming from all over the world to visit the Holy Land" (John Paul II, Motu Proprio, 2004).
The Christian community represents a religious minority in Holy Land and more generally in the Middle East. Notre Dame de Terre Sainte thus actively support projects and activities in cooperation with the local Christian communities.
On the occasion of its Annual Gala Dinner in Rome, Notre Dame de Terre Sainte honors the top donor of the year with the Notre Dame de Terre Sainte - Building Faith in Peace medal.
