Financial Aid / Silly But Key Stafford Loan Question« on: February 29, 2008, 02:01:01 PM »
So, I keep getting confused about Stafford Loan eligibility. In some cases, it seems like there's $20.5k a year available regardless of need (the only distinction is between the subsidized and unsubsidized amounts). In other cases, it seems like you can only borrow up to your demonstrated level of need.
Which one's right?

I got the Darrow yesterday! Wow. Does anyone have any suggestions- Darrow, Stanford, or Harvard? My decision is going to be so much harder than I thought. I also want to extend hope out there to other low LSATs (mine is a 169).
I chose Michigan - PM me if you want more info.
General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: Michigan Class of 2011: where you should be« on: February 25, 2008, 01:16:25 PM »
Regarding housing: there are a ton of great condos for rent in Ypsilanti if you have a car. My girlfriend and I are renting one that's pretty reasonable (2BR, 2 bath), and I knew that I wanted to be able to leave campus when I was done for the day.
One question: is anyone else looking for summer employment in Ann Arbor? How are you planning to look?

I didn't say that the government shouldn't be funded so I don't know where your getting that. I said the government should not take money from some people and then give it to others. I think the government should fund a military, and a court system, and a police/fire department force.
...And how, exactly, does government do that with no funding mechanism?
Having insurance isn't even a close comparison. I object to the government transfer of wealth on the grounds that it isn't a choice that people are making, it is done by force. Purchasing insurance is a transaction to which both parties agree to (other than mandated insurance in some cases).
Again, you're advocating anarchy. The only way the government gets funds is to place taxes/tarriffs on things, unless it prints its own money, which destabilizes the entire system. How does the government do even your basic (and woefully incomplete) list of tasks with no funding mechanism?
The government's job is to protect people from force/fraud. This includes from other countries (via a standing military) and our own (police/fire departments and judicial system). The government's job was not originally, and should not be, to take money by force from some people (which seems remarkably similar to stealing) and give it to others.
Which is why I asked about the insurance. The very nature of insurance is that money is taken from all parties and distributed according to need rather than pay-in. You may pay $250 a month to insure your car and I may pay $50 to insure mine, but if you never wreck yours and I get t-boned in an intersection, I get the $5,000 my car is worth...and you keep paying.
Government is fundamentally an insurance policy, and the reason the force you so decry is necessary is because there's no way to strategically opt people out of the services it provides to insure order. In the case of a fire, for instance, the fire department can't just put out the fire of the people who decide to pay taxes, as any fire constitutes a threat to the entire community.
And again, you've removed the entire funding mechanism, so have fun with your buckets of water.
Social Security and Medicaid/care are HORRIBLE programs both in principle and in practice. People should be able to choose for themselves how to save for retirement, the government is not intended to be a babysitter. The same goes for Medicaid/care. It is not the governments job to take my money and give it to other people in order for them to have medical care. In practice both of the programs are sending our economy into hell. Listen to any of the congressional meetings on either program or on the national debt. Every who has looked into the programs has been pleading for something to be done.
Actually, they aren't "sending our economy into hell", and I have no idea what Congress you're watching. Social Security under the most likely scenario can be funded with minor tweaks indefinitely, and the rise in Medicare/Medicaid costs has nothing to do with the program and everything to do with rapidly escalating healthcare costs outside of the program.
Also, Social Security in particular is the single greatest anti-poverty program in American history. That's simply a fact.
Relentless selfishness has nothing to do with anything I have said. I don't think that we should forget about our poor and disenfranchised. I think that people should help one another. I just don't think the government should have any role in it, rather it should be voluntary.
Which inevitably leads to government interaction of the non-beneficial variety. Suppose a community doesn't help those in need - there are no schools for the poor, no unemployment, no nothing. Inevitably, those ignored problems become criminal problems, which simply exacerbate themselves unless some measure of prevention and remedy is put in place.
Everything you say is about relentless selfishness. You shouldn't be "forced" to do anything unless you want to do it, except for those things you should be forced to do because you're okay with them, but you can't say how you'd be forced to do them, because it's contradicted in your basic statement of principles.
Law School Applications / Re: Scared of Obama and Clinton Tax Brackets!« on: February 16, 2008, 09:27:59 PM »
First, how is it advocating anarchy? The government has a role to play, just not taking money from some and giving it to others. Society not only would exist, but it would be better if the government did not take money from the wealthy and give it to the poor.
Hint: Government has to be funded.
Even pre-income tax, a variety of tariffs and other fees/taxes funded government. Money has to come from somewhere to provide for the services of government. Without it...anarchy.
What truly bothers me about arguments like this, though, is that they're inevitably based off a simplistic and falsely atavistic ideal - if we could just get back to the point where we were all rugged individualists blazing our own path, everything would be so much better.
Do you have insurance on anything you own?
And lastly, the "take it from the rich and give it to the poor" is, well, asinine. If government doesn't address those in need and try to reduce the impact that the needy have upon the not-needy, then it's not doing its job. Strong regulations help preserve the private market. A strong military protects our way of life. Social Security and Medicaid/care are two of the strongest antipoverty programs ever conceived of.
What you're saying is so brutally ignorant and ill-conceived that its lack of basis in fact only serves to highlight the truly sad impulse behind it - relentless selfishness in the face of reality.

In soccer, the role of a referee is important because he has an authority to responsibly manage the game. Here are the criteria of a good soccer referee:
Understand and keep updated with all soccer rules
Indeed, every sport referee ought to know and understand all rules to get an authority. They must know all about misconducts and fouls in soccer. A great soccer referee has to distinguish where to show and give yellow cards and red cards during the game. Further, referees will find it important to stay updated to the latest news because soccer rules are likely changing over the time. They can visit agensoccerindo.com to know the latest related information about that.
Stay focused on the games
During a soccer match, referees have to focus on paying their attention to the every move in the game. They have to keep their eyes on the ball and soccer player to know whether the games are based on the rules and standards or not. They have the right to judge and make decisions regarding to the match once they found it inappropriate. In general, association football has one referee helped and supported by two assistants.
Be fair
Good and professionally referees act fairly to both teams for sure. In other words, they don't belong and take sides to only one team for any reason, like nation, race, and so on. Fairness is crucial in soccer game to find the real winner and maintain the reputation of each football club itself.

One of every two local roads in Michigan is rated poor, according to the Transportation Asset Management Council, and 71 percent of all roads are rated fair or below.
That was no surprise for the collection of road commissions and transportation officials at the 2014 State of the Roads address Thursday.
"If you drive, you already know the state of Michigan's roads," said Denise Donohue, director of the County Road Association of Michigan. "You can't get five people together at the water cooler or a family party that somebody hasn't had a flat tire, a bent wheel, a bent rim, a broken wheel, a front alignment problem. There are people out there not buying cars because of Michigan roads and that's not good for Michigan's economy."
Others painted a similarly negative picture of a state they say is last in per capita road funding, and in desperate need of aid.
"This has been decades in the making," said Kirk Steudle, director of the Michigan Department of Transportation. "This is what it looks like when you neglect a core asset of the state. We've delayed, delayed, delayed, and now it's costing us more."
But it may just be the tip of the iceberg. The County Road Association says it will take more than two billion dollars to fix the roads.
That just may be to stop the bleeding on a transportation budget the association says has been neglected for far too long.
"The time is now to fix Michigan roads," said Bradley Lamberg, president of the County Road Association. "Good roads cost a lot of money but the cost of doing nothing is even higher."
The cost could just be growing for the future. Two federal issues could stand in the way of further fixings to the roads.
The U.S. Highway Trust Fund is expected to become insolvent -- paying out more money than it takes in -- at the end of the summer. That means projects that take federal aid won't be reimbursed in full right away. In other words, instead of getting a dollar back for every dollar spent, the reality could be 80 cents on the dollar, Steudle said, which could further strap local budgets
"Here in Ingham County we have a large number of federal aid projects," said Bill Conklin, managing director of the Ingham County Road Department. "We're concerned as to whether those will be fully funded."
More trouble could be coming in October, when a surface transportation bill expires.
"With no surface transportation bill, what that means is all the money you pay at the pump at the federal level doesn't come back to Michigan or any state," said Steudle. "It stays in Washington."
Steudle says all lawmakers he's spoken to have indicated Congress will pass an extension, but inaction makes him nervous.
"We have to take this into our own hands," he said. "If we want our road system to be better, we are going to have to pay for it."
Transportation officials are pushing for action from the state legislature. A $500 million package of house bills, are a good start, Steudle said, but not nearly enough in the long run.
"We need the legislature to do something to funding a sustainable, holistic solution for funding Michigan roads," said Denise Donohue. "We call on the legislature to end the decline in Michigan, the call for a speedy passage of a solution that fully addresses our problems."
The bills also rework the taxes on gas, opting for a wholesale tax over a per-gallon tax. An increase in the gas tax is needed, Donohue said, after a decade of recession and more fuel efficient vehicles -- both of which result in less gas tax collected. Plus, Donohue said, the state's last gas tax increase was 1997.
The Michigan Petroleum Association though says it would rather see the tax money that is already collected be redistributed. President Mark Griffin says the industry is already taxed enough, noting that Michigan has the sixth highest gas tax in the country. An increase would almost certainly make it the highest he said.
Public Safety officials and business owners are also complaining about the road conditions. The Ingham County Sheriff's Office testified that bad roads slow down police and fire responses. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce added bad roads are bad for business.
"If we invest wisely in roads and bridges and public transit, we could create 10,000 jobs in our state at a time when people need and want to go back to work," said Rich Studley, CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. "We also understand as job providers, you get what you pay for. Or in the case of local roads, you get what you don't pay for."

ActionScript Inheritance
From Gnash Project Wiki
Members __proto__ and prototype
Each ActionScript Object instance has a __proto__ member being a reference to its Class interface.
A Class interface consists of a set of members and a reference to the class constructor.
Whenever a Function is defined, that's automatically a Class, and its interface is stored in the 'prototype' member.
Thus, for example:
Array; <-- this is a built-in class Array.prototype <-- this is Array class interface
Array.prototype.constructor == Array
The last reference is used to do RunTime checking on instances, see below:
var a = new Array; a.__proto__ == Array.prototype; a.__proto__.constructor == Array (see above)
In Gnash, object.__proto__ is as_object::m_prototype, and function.prototype is function_as_object::m_properties. Confusing eh ?
Now, the problem is providing m_properties (function.prototype) for built-in classes such as Array, String, Date and the like. We cannot set Global.Array to be a C_FUNCTION, but we have to make it a function_as_object to allow for m_properties definition.
m_properties is where the interface is specified, so for Array it contains all methods and properties of that ActionScript class. Don't forget to add a "constructor" member to m_properties as well, pointing to the array constructor.
I've implemented this approach for _global.Function (see Function.{cpp,h}). The new model must be applied to all built-in classes --strk 05:52, 13 February 2006 (MST)
The root of the ActionScript class hierarchy is the Object class. We need a way to model this. A simpler approach could be to have the as_object::get_member return a static Object interface when a __proto__ member is requested and an m_prototype is NULL. Alternatively the m_prototype itself might point to this Object interface when not set to some other value.
Function implements
Starting at SWF7 each Function has an associated list of function names being the classes implemented by the Function. The association is triggered by the ACTION_IMPLEMENTS (0x2C) block.
See http://sswf.sourceforge.net/SWFalexref.html#action_cast_object
The association is used by the ACTION_INSTANCEOF (0x54) block handler to find out whether a given Function implements the given class (function name).
See http://sswf.sourceforge.net/SWFalexref.html#action_instance_of
The ACTION_INSTANCEOF will likely be recursively scan each of the parent classes until a match is found, or fail.

Well – 2012 was a bit of a mixed year for me. Here are some highlights (or lowlights) – not in any particular order, just what comes to mind.
I headed off for some winter sun in Lanzarote with my mum.
I turned 30!
Gary & I went on a lovely walking weekend in the Lake District with the pups and got amazing weather.
I set up my own bakery business – Holly's Little Bakery.
I reached the finals of the Marie Claire Inspire & Mentor programme and got to travel to London to meet Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas from the Primrose Bakery.
I suffered from a really bad bout of depression mid-2012. It was not nice and at times suicide felt like the only option.
I made new friendships, strengthened others & let others fade.
I set up the Runcorn & Widnes Clandestine Cake Club.
I joined a church, in the hope to find some purpose & inner peace. It didn't work.
I discovered that being a Christian doesn't automatically make you a nice & perfect person – they have to work at it as much as the rest of us.
Big changes when Gary got a full-time job. After being together nearly 24/7 for 4 years this was a bit of a change, but not necessarily a bad one.
Holly & Chester turned 2!
Jess & Meg turned 6, and Jinx turned 5.
I went on a family trip to the Lake District for my mum's 70thbirthday – and got to see my uncle (her brother) who lives in Sweden, and we rarely see.
I am ending the year feeling a lot more content and happy than I did all throughout the year. Plus, I've got a cake baking in the oven, so that always helps!
Here's to 2013 & whatever lies in store Happy New Year's Eve from me & all the animals…..
From top: Holly & Chester, Jess, Jinx then Meg x
Congrats on the bakery, and on feeling better at the end of the year than throughout it! It's nice when you can actually feel progress and/or improvement.
Hello Sweetpea! I really lost track of my blogs in 2012 and am doing a little catch-up now – had no idea you had so much going on! Massive well done on setting up the CCC and your own business!! I have 'liked' on FB. Sorry to hear you had your down times and hope you're feeling brighter now – hope to keep in better touch this year! xx

Siegel: Fracking harms environment, planet's climate
Re: David Quast's Nov. 18 guest column, "The case for hydraulic fracturing":
A tidal wave is about to sweep over our state. Oil companies are snapping up thousands of acres across central and Southern California. Armed with dangerous new techniques, the petroleum industry aims to exploit a vast reservoir of previously inaccessible shale oil — and the consequences for our air, water and public health could be devastating.
This oil will be extracted using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as the industry commonly calls it. Fracking is a rapidly evolving technique that involves blasting huge amounts of water, along with toxic chemicals, deep into the ground to break up rocks and extract oil and gas.
Many Californians don't realize we're facing a fracking boom and don't know much about the technology's risks.
But our nonprofit organization, the Center for Biological Diversity, has documented fracking in nine California counties, including Ventura.
Petroleum industry documents show growing interest in the approximately 14 billion barrels of shale oil in the Monterey Shale formation, which lies beneath some of the most beautiful wildlife habitat and most productive farmland in America.
Some claim that California's environmental laws will protect us. But state officials have admitted that they currently do not even track, let alone regulate, fracking. The state has even been criticized by the Environmental Protection Agency for doing too little to protect our underground water supplies from oil-industry pollution.
Under pressure from concerned lawmakers, the state Department of Conservation's oil and gas division has belatedly begun to develop fracking regulations. But the public has yet to see even a draft version of these rules. Meanwhile, state officials have little idea when or where fracking is occurring — or what chemicals are used in the process.
The oil industry often claims there's nothing to fear because fracking has been used for decades. But today's fracking is new and different, and as the practice has changed and expanded, so has damage to the environment. New techniques include the use of chemical concoctions called "slick water" that help generate the pressures needed to break apart rock.
The risks are well documented. The EPA, for example, recently confirmed fracking-related water pollution in Pavillion, Wyo. That's disturbing when you consider that fracking routinely employs dangerous chemicals like methanol and benzene.
About 25 percent of fracking chemicals could cause cancer, while many others harm the nervous, endocrine, immune and cardiovascular systems, according to scientists. A recent study from the Colorado School of Public Health found that fracking contributes to serious health problems in people living near fracked wells.
Fracking will increase air pollution. Our poor air quality already keeps far too many children home from school and adults home from work because of asthma and other respiratory ailments. Protecting the air we breathe and our children's health is urgent.
And fracking also threatens our planet's climate by releasing large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Fracking the billions of barrels of oil in the Monterey Shale will light the fuse on a carbon bomb that will shatter our state's efforts to fight global warming.
Other risks may be hidden by industry secrecy. Few knew, for example, that radioactive probes were used with fracking until one of these dangerous devices fell off a truck in Texas earlier this year. This radioactive probe wasn't found for almost a month.
California lawmakers must move quickly to address fracking. To protect our health and our future, this dangerous practice should be banned in California. Trashing our air, water and climate is not the right way to move our state forward.
Kassie Siegel is director of the Center for Biological Diversity's Climate Law Institute in San Francisco.,

Big Country Journal: 'Kind of like a funeral' standing in line at Dublin Dr Pepper for last bottles
DUBLIN — Standing in line for his last chance to buy Dublin Dr Pepper on Thursday, David Scott spoke his mind.
"I think it sucks, why don't they just come out here from the big city and burn the place down?" he said. "It's really bad, to jump on a small place like this — that's been around forever — and use their money and influence to un-establish a place, I don't think that's right."
Up and down the line, and in the dining area of Old Doc's Soda Shop, customers expressed dismay at the terms of the settlement between Dublin's Dr Pepper Bottling Co. and the larger corporation Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Sweetened with Imperial Cane Sugar, the beverage until this week was sold and distributed from what was called the oldest Dr Pepper bottling plant in the world — in Dublin, Texas.
As part of the settlement, Dr Pepper Snapple has shut the fountain off for the small town, though the plant will continue to bottle other soda pops. Just not Dublin Dr Pepper, which for many was the whole reason for coming.
"It's a shame that Snapple couldn't work it out to keep Dublin Dr Pepper open. Without Dublin, Dr Pepper wouldn't exist," said Jerry Romo of Fort Worth, who said he was a cousin of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. "We've come to that world now, you see kids suing their parents because they didn't raise them right or a company closing an icon started in 1890. They've shot themselves in the foot."
Jerry Romo predicted the larger company would take big public relations hit because of Dublin Dr Pepper.
"It's kind of like Netflix's move," he said. "How well did that work out for them?"
The rate hike last summer by the online movie rental company and the resulting fallout has been widely acknowledged as a textbook example of bad public relations.
Part of the lawsuit claimed that Dublin Dr Pepper was hurting sales for Dr Pepper Snapple. Romo shook his head at that idea.
"It wasn't hurting their sales," he said. "I guarantee you now that it's going to hurt their sales because people are going to stop drinking Dr Pepper. I know I am."
Scott snorted with laughter over the same thought.
"Yeah, sure. This little bitty place here is going to hurt their sales? No way, why don't they leave these people alone and let them just do their thing?" he said.
The line stretching out the door parted for a moment when workers brought the last pallet of Dublin Dr Pepper bottles into the store. Zach Hughes and Michael Sparks of Granbury watched the men park the pallet, both of them holding nearly a case each of empty 10-ounce recyclable glass bottles.
While the 8-ounce glass bottles were shipped in from another plant, Dublin DP aficionados like Hughes and Sparks could bring their 10-ounce containers in and exchange them for similar bottles filled with Dublin's elixir. The plant didn't sell those bottles, but if you found one at a garage sale you could enjoy the same privilege as the two men.
"I have nine left in my soda machine at home, but I came down here as soon as I heard about this," Hughes said and laughed bitterly. "Now I have to decide between which company I dislike less — Coke or Pepsi."
After they finish their 40 bottles, Hughes said he wouldn't buy Dr Pepper ever again.
"No, nothing after this stuff. I feel pretty bad, it feels kind of like a funeral here, actually," he said, looking around.
Even if the larger company sold the same product in a glass bottle, Hughes stated he would never buy it.
"No, just because of this," he said quietly.
Around the corner in the shop's dining room, Lake Brownwood's Leslie Courington shared a Frosty Pepper with her mother Betty Zimmerman who was visiting from Kansas City, Mo. Above them, workers had used red duct tape to cover the word "Dublin" in the Dr Pepper slogan painted on the wall over their heads.
"Disgusted," said Zimmerman, describing her feelings.
"Last night I was really, really mad. I used to teach at Zephyr and I brought my little kindergartners here," Courington said, her voice thickening with emotion. "Last night I was so angry and then this morning I said, 'Mom, we're going to Dublin today and we'll just go and enjoy it.'"
Neither women could understand why Dr Pepper Snapple couldn't take the long view and see the good will the company benefited from simply by the Dublin plant's existence.
"I'm very upset that the parent company didn't realize what they were doing to such an icon. They took that away, they strong-armed them and took it away," said Courington.
She too said this was going to be then end of her days as a Dr Pepper drinker.
"It's Mr. Pibb from here on out or Cherry Pepsi, I've sworn it off," she said.
"Why would you do that to people? Why would you do that to little kids?" asked her mother. "I'm 78 years old and have known Dr Pepper since I was a child.
"I think I'll drink Mr. Pibb, too."

Southend offers all the traditional seaside pleasures along our seven miles of seafront, but you'll soon discover there's far more besides the seaside here.
We offer a range of great attractions for the whole family to enjoy, like the longest Pleasure Pier in the world, Adventure Island fun park, Sea-Life Adventure Aquarium and many more. History buffs can step back in time at some fascinating places like Southchurch Hall or Prittlewell Priory and take a ride on the shortest cliff lift in the UK. Our Town Centre offers a unique shopping experience and with over three hundred mouth-watering places to eat and a dazzling live music and nightlife scene, you really are spoilt for choice.
All of this is just an hour's train ride from London, and although we're easy to reach by rail, road or air, with the development of the London Southend Airport, it gets harder and harder to leave!
There's lots going on in Southend this autumn, so make sure you arrive relaxed and plan your journey to make the most out of your visit!
C2C and Abellio Greater Anglia run regular train services into Southend and with nine stations around the Borough it's the easiest way for you to get here and get around.
Car parking spaces along the seafront can fill up very quickly, but there are plenty of spaces to choose from in the town centre and it's no more than 10 minutes walk to Southend seafront and its attractions. Check out the How to Find Us page for a map of car parks available in the town.
Regular buses run all around the town, and Day Saver tickets are just £3.90 for adults and £2.60 for under 16s. Arriva's number 9 bus passes the seafront, Prittlewell Priory and park, Thorpe Bay and the Airport. Click here to visit their website.

For those of you who have followed us for a while, or at least have read through recent articles, you are aware that we were in the process of buying a house in late February/early March. Since then, we have moved and have been very busy with all the oddities that come with buying your first home and moving. Writing articles really haven't been on the high priority list for the last month as a result.
However, our newly found experience in home repair, gardening, budgeting, and cooking have begun to spew many ideas through the heads of CentsToShare writers (or at least one of us). We are excited to inform you of what we have learned and hope to hear from you in return!

|To Study and Demonstrate the Safety and Efficacy of RES-Q Prepared Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Injected Into Ischemic Tissue of Patients With Non-Reconstructable Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
- Number of adverse events as a measure of Safety and limb salvage [ Time Frame: 12 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The measure is the number of adverse events and major limb amputations within 12 months from the procedure.
- Disease severity [ Time Frame: 12 month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measurement of clinical endpoints such as Ankle brachial index (ABI), Transcutaneous Partial Pressure of Oxygen (TcPO2) and measurement of blood supply by CT angiography after the procedure.
- Change in Rest Pain [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Ulcer Healing [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Assessment of Co-morbidity [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: BMMNC treated group
Autologous bone marrow concentrate prepared using Res-Q60 (a point of care system) to be injected intramuscularly into multiple sites of the ischemic muscle tissue of the affected limb at 0.5 cc/injection for a total of 15-20 cc.
Other: Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear cells
Multiple intramuscular injections of concentrated bone marrow derived mononuclear cells (0.5 cc/injection) into the ischemic muscle of the affected limb.
Other Name: Autologous bone marrow concentrate
Detailed Description:
A total of 15 patients suffering from end stage IV and V Rutherford /CLI in whom all previous therapeutic strategies failed (e.g. surgical revascularization) will be selected and undergo local transplantation of autologous BMMNCs. Conventional treatments include angioplasty and /or bypass to remove blood vessel blockage for restoring blood supply, along with prescribed medicines that aid in ulcer recovery and wound healing and debridement of damaged/infected tissue. Amputation is inevitable in many cases because some blood capillaries cannot be corrected and restenosis of vessels is very common. Cell therapies with mononuclear cells from patients own bone marrow is promising because these stem cells are capable of stimulating and regenerating capillaries and blood vessels (neovascularization).
This is a Phase I/II, prospective, non randomized and open labeled study aimed to find out the safety and efficacy of intramuscular autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells implantation only in patients with chronic critical limb ischemia.
The efficacy/safety of this therapy will be assessed by using several endpoints such as (a) prevention of amputation, (b) wound healing and (c) degree of angiogenesis. In order to assess the limb ischemia, the measurements will be performed at pre- and post transplantation at a variety of time intervals. The measurements include: ABI-ankle brachial index, Transcutaneous partial pressure of Oxygen (TcPO2), 6 min walk test, Rest pain, Healing of ulcers/ wounds and angiography of the affected limb.

HBO' Developing 'Game Change' Sequel 'Double Down': Barack Obama Vs. Mitt Romney
The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore in the lead role.
Now, the original 'Game Change' writers have begun work on a sequel covering the 2012 elections between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, titled 'Double Down: Game Change 2012,' and guess what HBO wants to do with it?

That's actually no surprise when you look at the people behind it: When Girls Play is made by the same authors that created Twistys, a mega babe site that has been a major player in the babe niche for over a decade now. Most of the babes seem to be blonde, tanned beach models but there are also luscious redheads and exotic girls.

This creates a quite unique combination of sensuality and explicitness that you do not want to miss out on!See more When Girls Play galleries at Lesbian Babelog.

Why a page on Cape Town builders in my ExpatCapeTown Guide?
When we moved to Cape Town we had our fair share of experiences with builders. Handymen were disappearing with a huge deposit, poor craftsmanship and so on. You name it, we experienced it.
Currently we are living though another nightmare with Cape Town builders, but more about it later.When you do not know many people and can not fall back on recommended builders or handymen, you are always in for trouble.
When it comes to searching for good trustworthy builders you are really lost when you are new in the city or even country and do not know many people.
Like anywhere else in the world the building trade has to fight back the reputation some unprofessional builders create.
• Check with the
Master Builders Association of South Africa
. This is an umbrella organization where you can find registered companies and get recommendations from them. But still check the companies out and get recommendations you follow up.
• Check with the
Western Cape Master Builders Association
whose website is currently being updated.
• Check out the listing of existing/suspended/deregistered Cape Town builders on the website of the
National Homebuilders Registration Council
• Check out the following website with reviews and know what to do in case you want to complain about a company you are unhappy with.
More info here.
• Get quotes from at least three companies. Be careful with companies who come back with requests and quotes only after calling after them.
• Ask friends about builders they trust and see my personal recommendations here:
My recommendations are no paid advertisements, only references for builders and craftsmen which are tried and approved by ourselves and friends.
We can recommend them and advise you check them out too and let me know about your experiences:-)
This page lists companies we used and trust and promotes their excellent workmanship. I do not put ads on this page, only want to share my experiences with businesses who deliver great services.
So if you are an expat in Cape Town looking for recommendations or live in Cape Town searching for the right guys, try these fabulous companies:
Metro Roofing Contractors: Trained and experienced roofers under the supervision of a very knowledgeable and experienced Australian Roofer. Adam was highly recommended to us by Bluescope Steel, the manufacturers of Australian high quality metal roofing sheets "Colorbond Ultra", which are now more and more being used here in South Africa too for roofing purposes due to the harsh sea climate at the Cape.
Adam, an Australian expat, and his well trained team were very professional, always well organized. You might not want to think about re-roofing your house here, but be aware that metal roofs in this sea climate deteriorate fast and if you have got the wrong roofing sheets, your roof will not last. Our roof showed the first leaks i.e. holes only 5 years after being built. Too late we found out that the 10 year manufacturer's warranty from the previous owners does not cover our seaside area! So be sure to do it right the first time you think about putting a new roof and get the right roofing product and the right guy to put it on.
Metro Roofing is a young growing company and comes highly commended. They are very professional, punctual, reliable, as well as trustworthy and worth the money.
New Look Window Systems
: Manufacture, supply and fit UPVc windows and doors. Single and Double glazing. This greatly improves security and energy efficiency in your home. They import German Rehau window systems and manufacture them here according to your requirements. They have got over twenty year of experience manufacturing and installing window and door systems.
This growing company comes highly commended. These Cape Town builders are very professional, punctual, reliable, as well as trustworthy and hey, they clean up constantly after their work. German spoken.
Atlantic Solar
: Manufacture, Supply and Solar Collectors, Solar Geysers and Solar Water Heating Systems.
Helmut Hertzog and his company are putting a lot of effort in getting their jobs done quickly and efficiently. The company has grown quite a lot over the last three years and the workmanship and expertise is good.
Swiss Line Design
: Strucural Timberwork, roof conversions, stairways, balustrades, decking, joinery and design.
This company is led by experienced Swiss Master Carpenter Marc Luedi who we recommend for his excellent workmanship. He and his team are very knowledgeable and professional and create individual designs for you. These Cape Town builders come highly recommended from many expats living in Cape Town too.
Well, that is a whole different chapter. Be sure to keep an eye on them and query constantly what they do. The new Consumer Protection Act, which was implemented in April 2011, gives you more leverage and you can challenge shabby work more easily.
Currently we are experiencing what many Cape Town house owners experience here. Leaking water pipes! Often you will notice bad piping work only when damage is done. As the quality of copper pipes used in the last ten years seems to have deteriorated, the quality of the Cape Water, coming from certain reservoirs, seems to be affecting the pipes too - we were told by several plumbers and leak detectors - and the wrong cement mix also negatively affect the water pipes.
Well, we found out that our house which is only 10 years old, was build with the lowest quality copper pipes you can get in South Africa. So leaks appeared almost everywhere over the last months and quite some damage is done to the ceilings, floors etc. When we thought we are done fixing one leak, a new one appeared. So we are currently re-piping the whole house and you might imagine the fun that brings;)
Recommendations of good Cape Town plumbers? We have used several plumbing companies in the recent years for various purposes and are the current company we use for re-piping seems to be finally the one to go with. I will keep you posted when the work is completed and then I can hopefully recommend a good plumber for you too!
So now it is up to you:-)
My recommendations of these Cape Town Builders are no guarantees and not paid for, we just were really happy with these guys and trust you will be satisfied too. If you have had contrary experiences please let me know. I only mention businesses with genuine references which go the extra mile for their clients!
Please share your great experiences with Cape Town builders with me.

Autism Groups React to New CDC-Reported Prevalence of 1 in 68 Children
Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the newest autism prevalence statistics. For children born in 2002, the prevalence of autism was 1 in 68; 1 in 42 boys. Almost 60,000 US 12 year-olds likely have autism. Thirty years ago, autism affected 1 in 2,500 children; there has been a 37-fold increase.
Katie Weisman of SafeMinds stated, "Broader criteria and awareness cannot account for this magnitude of increase. The federal government continues to spend millions of dollars ineffectively and 'potentially duplicatively' according to a recent GAO report. We need to identify environmental triggers for autism, prevent them, and develop effective treatments."
Holly Bortfeld of TACA stated, "The federal government has spent $1.6 billion on autism since 2006, but the money is not helping those affected in meaningful ways. We need to improve medical treatment for the many co-occuring health concerns of individuals with autism and address the wave of students who are aging out and entering an adult world with no plan for them."
The Autism Policy Reform Coalition (APRC) is advocating for changes in the U.S. Government's response to the autism crisis and represents a constituency of over 100,000. The APRC is calling for significant changes in the Combating Autism Act, which is to be reauthorized by Congress this year.
"Since 2011, 44 U.S. children with autism have died after wandering away from a safe environment," stated National Autism Association President Wendy Fournier. "Our federal government must recognize these deaths, and the urgent needs of our most profoundly affected population. They suffer silently in pain from untreated medical issues; they are abused, bullied, and may be at increased risk of suicide. Their deaths and injuries are preventable through an appropriate federal response, which our coalition is dedicated to securing."

DPS report: Drivers in January fatal crash were not intoxicated
Jeffrey Dane Davis, one of the people killed in the Jan. 25 head-on collision that also took the life of an Abilene Christian University student, was not intoxicated at the time of the accident, according to a Department of Public Safety report.
Davis, who reportedly ran a stop sign at the intersection of Highway 36 and County Road 107 in his 2003 Dodge Ram, had a blood alcohol level of 0.018. That's about a fourth of the legal limit in Texas, which is 0.08.
Davis was pronounced dead at the scene.
The alcohol test was conducted at the DPS lab in Abilene, DPS Senior Trooper Sparky Dean said. A comprehensive drug screening will be conducted at a DPS lab in Austin.
Dean said the results of that test won't be available for several months, and could take a year before becoming available.
"They're pretty comprehensive with what they do," Dean said.
The driver of the other vehicle, Robert Lloyd Braddock, 20, had no alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, according to the toxicology report.
Braddock and five other ACU students were on their way to the Oplin Dance Hall to attend a nonalcoholic dance, it was reported. Lindsey Smith, 20, of New Braunfels, was pronounced dead at the scene. Braddock; Eric Terrazas, 20; Calli Kerbo, 18; Rebekah Cherniss, 18; and Deanna Romero, 19, were injured in the crash.
The investigation into the crash, which was conducted by Trooper Lance Outland, has been closed.

THE IMAGE: Cracking the Code of Advertising, Washington Post, May 3, 2002.
The Tagline: "Make 7Up Yours."
The Company: 7Up, the nation's seventh-largest carbonated soft drink
seller, owned and operated by Cadbury Schweppes PLC.
The Campaign: Created by ad giant Young & Rubicam Inc., whose clients
include NASCAR, AT&T and Sony, this ad is one of six irreverent 7Up
spots airing on cable and network television through 2002. It aims at
the prime soft-drink market -- 12- to 24-year-olds. Launched in 1999,
the campaign uses comic actors as faux 7Up spokesmen testing marketing
ideas that always go awry - apparent to all except the spokesman.
The Ad: In this ad, "Captive Audience," the spokesman hands out 7Up in a
prison. He drops a can and says, "I'm not picking that up," referencing
the old "don't drop the soap" joke. Later, he sits in a cell, hugged by
an inmate. "When you bring the 7Up everyone is your friend," the
spokesman says. Then he appears nervous: "Okay, that's enough being
friends." The cell door slams.
The Controversy: Stop Prisoner Rape, a small Los Angeles-based advocacy
group, is asking 7Up to pull the ad, saying it makes light of prison
rape. "No corporation would ever run an ad about rape unless it was
about prisoners," said Lara Stemple, the group's executive director.
"This commercial promotes callousness." The group further criticizes 7Up
for placing the ad on youth-oriented shows and networks, such as MTV.
Michael Martin, 7Up's director of corporate communications, said he
understands Stemple's concerns, but the ad will not be pulled.
"Consumers are telling us they can differentiate between reality and a
commercial," he said. He offered that the ad may actually raise
awareness of prison rape, which Stemple calls "absurd."
The Meaning: Is the comic implication of prison rape funny? Are
prisoners the last politically unprotected figures of fun, now that
jokes based on gender and ethnicity are off-limits? Or does the ad
simply exploit a shopworn comedic trope, like dressing a man in drag?

Part of Aston Martin is still reportedly up for sale, with Indian manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra and Italian firm Investindustrial both placing offers for a stake of up to 50 per cent in the company.
Mahindra is believed to have made the highest offer to Aston Martin's current owners, Investment Dar Co. but Investindustrial may hold the upper hand because of a technical agreement it has with Daimler. This would allow Mercedes to provide Aston with expertise and technology.
Sources at Aston Martin have reaffirmed its stance on the matter, claiming the company isn't for sale.
Investment Dar Co. bought Aston Martin for £479 million in 2007, and the company was previously owned by Ford.
The company posted a pre-tax loss of £33.1million last year, compared to pre-tax profits of £6.9million in 2010.
sounds to me that another investor is being sort, not a buyer
Well I just hope Mercedes & Italian buyer no asian or Indian buyer who already own the Volvo,Jag,Landrover & rover cars. Which was by Ford who own Aston
No Name Telling, why "no asian or Indian buyer"? Have they made a mess of Volvo, Jag, LandRover? Or is it simply based on the fact that they're "asian or indian"?
