I so hope everyone is OK, or at least as OK as you can be. Good luck, Mimi, on your appt. today. Let us know what happens. Vickie, I'm happy for you that you had such a good experience with your appt. and that your doc spent so much time with you. So many people don't have that kind of experience, and get docs who tend to blow off their complaints and problems. It's refreshing to hear of one who treats the person and not just the disease. What makes your doc think you might have gone into MF? Did he do a bone marrow biopsy? I hope for your sake that he is wrong about that. Neil, it's so good to read your posts, and to hear about your bike riding. I know that I feel worse when I give in to my tiredness, etc. You're my inspiration to keep forging on, and to ignore the way I feel. (I have to admit, though, that I'm not always successful. ) Dee, I'm sorry to hear about your bone pain, and pray for you to find an answer that will help you. Wee Pea, I'm sorry to hear that you had to have your meds upped yet again. Just how high were your platelets? Natalie, I'm glad that you've managed to get in with Dr. Mesa. From what I hear and read, he's really a wonderful man and an expert in the MPN's. Let us know how it goes with him. Sarah, I hope and pray that you manage to get some rest, and don't overdo it! You're truly an "angel." Emily, let us know how the Pegasys does for your spleen.
OK, I'm running out of steam. I apologize to those I may have missed, and wish for everyone better days ahead.
Hello everyone! It has been a while but I know you are all here whenever I need some advice or have a question. It's not that I don't read this everyday or think of you all, just don't always have the time to respond to everyone. I have been busy at the hotel, finally got some snow so snowmobiling business has picked up. Also been out of it for a week and a half as my mother n law had a heart attack and we have been out of town for that but she is home now and doing well.
I am writing today as I would like to know if anyone has had a similar symptom that I have right now that is new. I was diagnosed with ET in August and this is a pain, or sensation, or who knows what, that is new and I have never experienced it before. I have this weird feeling on the top of my head to the right of my part that is sore with or without touch and kind of travels down to my upper cheekbone area and down to the top area of my right ear. It is hard to explain the feeling. It is sore but I can't really say it is painful. When I try to pin point the area it's hard because it doesn't actually feel worse when I touch it. It throbs sometimes but weakens others but is always there but it is not a headache. It started yesterday morning. I have called and left messages for my doctors office a few times and have not heard back yet. It kind of feels like it is in my skull or between my skull and scalp. I don't know, just thought I would give it a try. Thank you for giving me this avenue to try anyway
Laurie: I'm sorry to say that I don't know what this could be. But I would call after hours when your Dr is on call, and then maybe you can ask him. Just once I wish these nurses and Dr's could feel what we feel, and how it can be frightening, and then have their Dr's not return their calls!!!! Sometimes when we see them, we need to remind them, we trust them and need to talk to them when something is happening with us!!! I think they forget why they are there sometimes. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Patti
Thank you Patti I usually don't get too excited when I have something going on but the whole blood clot thing does scare me a bit. It seems bettter today though. I had someone tell me that it could be a sinus thing too. Oh well I will just wait for my doc to call me back. Have a great day!
Laurie, i am not sure whats causing your pain but it sounds like neuropathic pain. I first thought Trigeminal neuralgia, but the stabbing pain your experiencing is too high in your face and head. I would talk to your doctor when he calls you back, which i hope aint too long. I agree with Patti about the 'no return calls', we do need to talk to them and have them show us some tenderness, care and support....after all they have a 'duty of care' to 'US' They should not need to be reminded!!! Good luck in finding out what is causing the pain, keep us posted
wee pea
''EVERYONE'' else glad to see all the posts. I was a little quiet on monday, as sunday was the first day of taking my increased dose of hydrea. I not keen on the increase and it does take a little time to compute and accept the onc's decision....but i also feel a little odd in airing my fears in the increased dose as there are so many worse than me... but i am getting there..
Hi everyone,
Well had all my tests done at the hospital, now waiting to hear back. Went to my dr but they never faxed her the results, so been waiting for that magic phone call, yes i agree with you all, wheres the compassion'' I know i did;nt enjoy taking the 3,ooomg hu a day. I seem to be getting worse bone pains with the interferon,? Just wish they would let me know whats what, my daughter had her first baby scan done and alls well, hope every one are good and take care love jules oxox
Hate the waiting game, so annoying but nowt we can do about it eh... the results take time etc... but it sure is frustrating. Great news about your daughters scan, glad all is well there. Take it easy my dear, ok....Julie timeout time...chill out and put your feet up, i hate you have all the bone pain etc to deal with...
Hey Jules, i only have a moment to reply but I'm in the same boat....my bone pain is AWFUL since starting the PegIntron. I haven't really found anything that makes it better yet either
The only plus I have found so far is that my spleen pain has decreased significantly!
Congrats on the new grandbaby, btw!
Hi Emily,
thanks for that, yes cant wait for the new g bubby in august, i have'nt found any thing for bone pain yet but my spleen has kept me awake all night and i did a needle yest, so mine seems to be going up? How often are you having the needles? Take care love jules xo
I take my shot weekly I do it on Friday nights so that I lose less time off work. How frequently do you do yours?
Hi Emily,
I have mine 3 times a week at moment, there thinking of increasing it.I have a full needle as well, how much do you have? yes its a bummer with the bone pains eh, do you get a tepm and flu like symptoms? take care
Hello my bloodbuddies,just a note to let you know whats going on with me.First I don't have to work overtime,a week ago,(last Fir.nite) I tripped in my den and fell on my right shoulder and I think I tore something.Can't move my arm outward.Can move it a little out to the side.Nothing broken,(when to emergency room for xrays).I will see the Ortho Dr. on Monday.I'm thinking that I tore the rotor cuff or something like that.Also had another CT scan on my lung and nothing has changed there.The Dr. wants me to do another one in 6months.My question is how safe are these CT scans and how often should I have one. Other than that I guess I'm doing okay.Just worried that my employer might think they don't need this old woman anymore.I still need to work to keep my insurance.I will be able to get medicare in November(I'll be 65 ) and then I can think about not working.
Ok enough about me I hope everyone is doing better and try to have a good week-end.God Bless everyone...LindaK
Hi Everyone!
I'm so sorry that i haven't posted, i've been reading the post, getting a bit hard for me to keep up with everyone, I've been so busy.... but that's No excuse, and i apologize for my lack of posting. But please know that you are all in my daily prayers, and i have you close to my heart and mind always you are my bloody buddies/my extended family.
Ohhh, Linda... i'm so sorry to hear about your fall! what did the ortho say?? and are you in alot of pain? As for another CT scan, well... i know it's never too good to be so much of any of that stuff, but!, sometimes there just isn't a choice in this case, you do want to be on top of having your lungs checked well. I'll be lifting prayers for you Linda, and also for your decision when Nov. comes as far as being able to retiring.
Dee, how are you dealing with your bone pain? I know at times you say it doesn't stay 24/7 but, it sure sounds like it's around way too much!! I pray so much for you my dear.... hope you feel the prayers
Julie, i just found talked with someone the other day who told me they were getting Interferon also, and they too said that the bone pain was real bad and that they got flu like symptoms, they referred to it as being a real 'mean thing'
........ and, i'm So happy to hear the great report on your daughters scan!
My heart goes out to all of you who are dealing with such bad bone pain, i wished i could wave a magic wand over all of you!! and i agree with Neil, i too feel like there's so many of you who are dealing so harshly with MPN and i feel bad at times saying how for the most part things are going so easy for me, my setbacks with this are ever so minor compared to so many here.....
Mimi mi amiga...... i miss you! how are you doing mi amiga? Please post soon, you are our 'Southern Belle' with so much charm, i truly miss your posts.
Laurie, i'm sorry to hear about the pain you're having in your head and face, I have been praying for that for you.
Pegetha, i'm glad to know that you had a week off work? I hope you were able to rest some, and have some time without all that pain! My heart goes out to you and the others who are in such pain and yet have to go to work.... I pray much for you dear
Patti, i hope things are going well with you?
weePea, you always bring a smile to my face.... love that about you~
Pauli, Denise, & Colleen, if you still read the post here, know that you are missed and we would love to hear an update from you.
sorry for those i didn't mention......... but, you are 'All' in my prayers~ God Bless each and everyone of you~
Sarah: It's always good to hear from you. I'm doing ok here in Northern Calif. We are going up to Southern Oregon to see our other girl and grand daughters soon. My counts have been ok for going on 5 months now, with only one raise in my HU. So the best stretch I've had in years. I hope it lasts. Please tell me you have had your Knee looked at??? I sure hope so.
I also read our forum everyday, but sometimes just don't always post. I do think about you all. Patti
Hello friends,just an update.Had the MRI done today and it showed that I tore the rotor cuff in my right shoulder,will plan on day surgery next week.Waiting for the ok from my ONC/HEM.I took off last week because of the pain,but I'm going back to work on light duty.I can use my hands but can't lift anything or raise my arm up.

Dental Clinic
Make an appointment
The clinic is a self-supporting non-profit facility run by college staff and students. First and second year students provide quality care with direct supervision from registered dental hygienists and licensed dentists.
If you meet our students' educational requirements, we'd be happy to serve you! We can provide exams, x-rays, cleanings, and minor fillings. We provide these services to patients age 4 and up. (Sorry, we do not provide extractions, crowns, root canals, bridge work, dentures or braces, but we can refer you for these services.)
First Appointment
The first appointment for adults will be a screening examination, which may include x-ray films and a dentist's examination. If accepted for treatment and depending on students' needs, additional appointments may be scheduled. These appointments may last 2-4 hours.
Children ages 4-17 are also eligible for treatment and do not go through the screening process. Their exams, x-rays and cleanings are usually completed in one appointment.
Please note: all accepted patients may not be appointed.
We are sorry that our clinic is unable to treat dental emergencies; for reduced cost

Ivan SenIvan Sen is a Gamilaroi person who grew up in Tamworth and Inverell in the New England region of northern New South Wales.
Filmmaking was the last thing on his mind whilst growing up in a small country town. It wasn't until the end of high school that his filmmaking journey began. His mother married the local newspaper editor who introduced Sen to photography. This became an instant passion and Sen in enrolled in a photographic degree at Griffith University in Brisbane. Photography became an outlet for Sen to explore his own indigenous family as well as develop his interest in identity and landscape. Toward the end of the course, Sen was introduced to a new elective. The subject involved producing a photographic slide presentation that was cued to a music track.
After graduating from Griffith University, he worked in a Brisbane production house where he sound recorded and camera operated on corporate videos and commercials. During this time, he studied several short courses, from acting to creative writing to directing. He returned to study Film and Television at Griffith University in 1994, he then attended the Australian Film Television and Radio School in 1995.
Since graduating, and winning the Southern Star Award for the best body of work by a graduating student, Sen has written and directed several documentaries and short films. Beneath Clouds is his first feature drama. It debuted at the Berlin Film Festival in February and has provoked much discussion on release in Australia since late May.

Oh, and I only accept money inside envelops, counting it with a pair of tweezers. See how well do I hold my precepts?
With the former we just need to hold our precepts as purely as possible without a show. If we feel like comparing ourselves to someone then we can think of how much better we are holding our precepts than Shakyamuni. At any rate we need to hold them internally, even secretly.
As to the later we would be better off without such fanaticism. We live in the real world and have to make accommodation with reality. Again, being honest and dropping any kind of show.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Rutkowski Earns Weekly League Honor
Monday, March 01, 2010Sophomore infielder/catcher Jordan Rutkowski (Alden, N.Y./Alden) was named the Horizon League Batter of the Week for the week ending Feb. 28 by the league office today after earning All-Tournament honors for Valparaiso last weekend at the Tiger Softball Classic.
Rutkowski registered at least one hit and scored at least one run in each of the Crusaders' four games, extending her season-opening hitting and run-scoring streaks to five games each. She went 7-for-13 (.538) with five runs scored, four RBIs and three doubles on the weekend. The sophomore had a 3-for-3 effort against host Tennessee State, scoring the game-tying run in the eventual Crusader win. She followed on Sunday with a 2-for-2 game and two runs scored versus Indiana State, and closed tournament action with a three-RBI performance against Alabama A&M.
Rutkowski became the third Crusader already this year to earn league weekly honors, joining Kelsey Phalen (Batavia, Ill./Batavia) and Shaleigh Jansen (Ottawa, Ill./Ottawa Township), who were named Horizon League Batter and Pitcher of the Week on February 15. The Crusaders continue spring play Tuesday at the Rebel Spring Games in Orlando, Fla. against Dayton and Holy Cross.

It was illegal to be poor, unemployed and visible in Victorian England. (The visible poor have always been a problem. The poor one cannot see are easily ignored.) To address this situation, Parliament, through a series of "Poor Laws," created the workhouse system.
Thus, the English state took over the responsibility of caring for the poor and the poor, in turn, were expected to work to repay the state for its generosity.
State Sen. Bryan Taylor, R-Prattville, saw some of Alabama's visible poor "just sitting on the porch" and decided that "if they're on public assistance … they should be doing something."
No, Taylor is not proposing that our state build workhouses where the poor can be put out of sight and labor for their sustenance like they did in Charles Dickens' day. However, he is motivated by the same belief that if the poor are going to get help from the state, they should be required to work for it.
Despite sounding punitive, the plan is not without its merits. Hark back to the 1930s and you will find that many of the programs of the New Deal were designed to put people to work doing needed jobs and getting paid for it. Honest labor would replace the dole. That modern conservatives blame the New Deal for creating a culture of dependency is a striking irony in what Sen. Taylor proposes. Equally ironic is that putting people to work through government programs has been a hallmark of liberal economics for decades.
But irony aside, Taylor has introduced a bill that would require the able-bodied unemployed to do community-service labor for nonprofit organizations in order to receive government benefits.
So far the only objections are in the bill's details, and we all know that is where the Devil lurks.
Taylor's plan would require the Alabama Department of Labor to set up and administer the program, but that department has endured cutbacks from the state government. How, it is reasonable to ask, can it accomplish the task without additional funding?
Taylor says the cost will be offset by money saved on the benefits lost by the non-complying unemployed. Many are skeptical. There also is the possibility that there will not be enough nonprofits taking part to absorb all the workers who are told to work.
In short, this bill needs a thorough rethinking.
However, if the state can find a way to put people to work doing jobs that need to be done -- without turning the plan into punishment rather than service -- Sen. Taylor might have something that would make Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson proud.

Advice For Creating A Solid Video Marketing Campaign
It's time to stop ignoring the possibilities afforded by a great video marketing campaign. But to utilize this marketing method effectively, you must have the proper knowledge. The following article will equip you with tips to help your business prosper and increase its customer base.
It is important to keep posting videos; don't stop at the first one. Your viewers should be able to come back frequently and find something new each time, like how to use youtube to mp3 converter. This will also help broaden your audience as more people can find your links through a general search.
As you create content for video marketing purposes, try not to obsess about production values. Just because you have a higher production video, does not mean the impact on your bottom line will be greater. Even large corporations, like Dell, have been successful with simple demos made by employees.
Production is only part of the video marketing process. You can use this to get your videos out there. If you can market your videos effectively, you will see a significant increase in your number of clickthroughs. Although it's important to create solid content, you should also ensure that people are aware of it.
How-tos are the most popular searches online. When creating tutorial videos, those interested in your topic find your videos. Once they respect you as an authority, they'll want to know more.
Keep your videos focused on a single topic. It is very easy to veer off topic. Before you film, take a few minutes to create a brief checklist of what you must cover in the video. Make sure your videos remain on topic and focused, and you can succeed.
Make sure that you include working links to products you are promoting on your video. This link should actually be inside the actual video player. This ensures it can't be stripped from it.
You do not need to do it alone. It is a little hard to think of ideas and things when you're making a lot of marketing videos. Your best bet is to brainstorm with a group of creative people and then come up with a list. Have discussions often so that you stay on the forefront of the industry.
Give customers a closer look through video marketing. A sneak peek in your office will give people a chance to see what really goes into getting them the best product possible. This will provide everyone with a more personable side to your business.
Internet Marketing: How To Be Successful Online
So, you have chosen to venture into the world of Internet marketing. It sounds like an exciting idea, right? Actually, if not for there being so much available information that you do not know where to begin! Do not worry – the Internet marketing tips you need are available here! The following article has tips that can help you begin your new career in Internet marketing.
It's important to set up a mailing list for your customers. Let people sign up on the main site, and also offer it at the checkout after they buy something. You can find this info at a later date to communicate any deals you may have, or communicate with them.
Whenever you correspond online, include links to your business webpage in your signature. If you post to a forum, add your link to your signature so that it will be seen every time one of your posts is read. Place a link in your signature in all of your emails. That way, you will be able to generate awareness of your site among your entire group of contacts and also potentially boost your search engine rank. Above your link, make sure that there is an interesting line that will make them want to click it.
Internet marketing takes a lot of work and research. You should find and connect with a mentor that has both a model attitude and your respect. Many people who are well versed in internet marketing provide free services or services for a small fee. Once you have chosen a technique you want to try, stick with it until it proves profitable or shows that you need to move on to a new technique. It may start out slowly, but your time and effort will all pay off.
Provide something really unique on your website. This can be a very effective means of increasing traffic to your pages. The increased visitor numbers not only get more eyes on your products, they also add legitimacy, which will increase your page ranking.
Use social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook as a part of your Internet marketing campaign. You can easily maintain a daily presence in the minds of your customers by using social networking websites. Although, it is always best to manage how you interact with the customers because you don't want to always be advertising something in all your comments. Rather, strive to post useful and smart messages with intermittent marketing messages interspersed.
AJAX and Flash should be used very little. Although it can help appearances on your site, it has no positive impact when it comes to increasing your search engine results. If you are using flash, do not go overboard or ad keywords.
So, wouldn't you say you are relieved after learning all these tips? That was a lot of information to process, but at least now you know what to do and where to begin with your Internet marketing. Additionally, you can come back here to read the tips again if you forget or aren't clear about something.

Try to go out of your way to make your customers happy and satisfied with your products and services. Give them a little gift when they buy something, or even offer them discounts on their next purchase. People love freebies and they also love to be appreciated. Prove to them that you appreciate them as customers.
Create a schedule that dedicates specific hours to your home business, and other hours to your personal life. Determine the time of the day in which you refrain from taking business calls. You need to allow time for your friends and family as well as your business.
Prepare for work at home in the same manner you would if you were leaving the house. Avoid putting work before your needs at home or you could damage your self-esteem. Shower every morning, get your regular exercise and keep snacking limited. You can feel better about yourself and boost the way people look at you.

There are countless forums and websites dedicated to the owners of home businesses, and the information and support that can be gained there can be invaluable. Here, you can find people who have been through what you are currently experiencing, and often they are more than happy to share their techniques or supply tips to help you out.
To maximize the success of your home-business financial plan, claim every possible tax deduction related to your business. Claiming every deduction for which you qualify on your taxes can save you a sizable amount of money.
Make sure you keep your messages to your clients at a reasonable level so that you give them the information they need to know but do not overload them. There are various options for reaching your customers as new developments occur with your site. Consider newsletters or opt-in email alerts. Avoid sending too many letters to your customers. Many customers don't like companies to flood their inbox.
Save all receipts when you run a home business. When you own a business, everything that you use for business, including costs for vehicles, is tax deductible. File all your receipts. When tax time rolls around you can determine which are eligible. If you throw away receipts without considering the tax consequences, you could pay far more tax than necessary.
You should be networking with business owners within your area. It can be a great support network, and you can learn about things going on in the area. It's also good to meet people face-to-face and not just through your computer.

Need A Job? Try These Employment Tips!
It's not impossible to get a job, despite what many think. With the right knowledge, you can not only find employment opportunities, but you can land your dream job. This article includes some helpful, practical tips advice on how to be successful in finding a job.
Consider changing up a search strategy that is not working for you. There are many places that aren't hiring, but that shouldn't dissuade you. Go to places you wouldn't have before, and make sure you're able to afford to go there if you get the job.
Be aware of how much workers in your field are being compensated. Thinking that employers will be turned off if they mention a number that is too high, some job candidates will request a salary far below what they deserve. At the same time, if you post a request that is too low you may appear desperate.
It's important to prepare when searching for a job. Is your resume updated and correct? Your employer will expect information about your education, certificates and degrees earned and other proficiencies. Include all information outlining your educational credentials and provide references related to previous work.
It is important to be prepared with questions of your own for your interview. Almost always, you will be asked if you have any questions at the end of the interview. Questions about the atmosphere, type of work to be completed and anything else you want to know should be asked.
It is vital that you dress appropriately when you are interviewing for a job. Have a well groomed appearance and job-appropriate clothing. Employers will pass judgement on you based on your initial appearance, so make sure that you make a good impression.
Always answer to phone calls in a polite manner and make sure you say your name right away. Employers will be shocked when they hear how polite you are, giving them a positive impression of yourself.
Try to utilize an employment agency. They are free and they do most of the work when it comes to finding you a job. They will assess your skills and help find the best fit for you. Check back in with these kinds of places from time to time so that your resume stays on top.
If you are asked by a recruiter to complete an application, make sure you do it thoroughly. You might already have all this information listed on your resume, but applying yourself to hand out a good application shows your potential employer you are detail-oriented and know how to follow instructions.
Knowing all of this, you should be ready to find a great job. There is no reason to feel inundated. Take each tip one at a time and practice them until they feel natural to you and you are comfortable with them. Soon, you'll land your dream job.

When making tutorials, people that are looking for that particular topic can find you and you'll target visitors based on the niche you fulfill. Once they see you're an expert, they'll want to see what else you have to offer.
Keep your messages clear in your videos. If you aren't prepared, it's easy to become distracted. Using a guide to help keep you on track and focused can really be a lifesaver. Keep your videos focused and you will have success at video marketing.
After seeing just how simple it can be to use online videos to promote your business, there's no reason you shouldn't get started on it as soon as you can. In only a few short days, you could be bringing in customers from around the world. Video marketing can help you find the success that you have always wanted.

Mortgages By Amerisave Simply Cannot Be Beaten
Quite simply, mortgages by Amerisave just cannot be beaten by their competitors for honesty, the rates, and the way in which each application is handled professionally and efficiently at all times. All of this is the result of over twenty years experience in not only dealing with mortgage enquiries, but underwriting them and indeed dealing with the actual funding and it means that getting a mortgage with this company will go as smooth as clockwork reducing the stress you will undoubtedly be under at this time.
When you apply for a mortgage from Amerisave you will be able to fill in an easy online form that will then be handled by a highly trained professional in a timely manner with them then contacting you to discuss your application. The single fact that their form is easy to complete is in itself a major bonus because too often you will find that forms are full of questions that just confuse the issue and when you are dealing with a large sum of money the last thing you want is to be unsure about what is happening because ultimately this is when mistakes will be made.
The one thing that is immediately apparent from the moment you contact Amerisave is that they really do value their customer service and indeed they are extremely easy to contact and they can deal with any enquiry that you may have thanks to their experience in the industry, which means there is no question that they have not been asked before. It does make the entire process so much easier when you have a friendly voice helping you through it all because it is so much more than just being about the money as you need to have faith in the lender and customer service plays a major role in building that confidence before you then go ahead and sign anything.
Finally, it is worth talking about the rates and fees because clearly they do play a key role in a mortgage and you may have already noticed that there can be a huge difference in what you pay depending on the company that you use. What you will find is that Amerisave can offer you fantastic rates and do not charge the earth for their fees for any part of it either and everything is explained in advance to let you see exactly what you are paying for. This transparency is so important in an industry that is often guilty of having hidden fees added in, so the fact that they show you everything that happens really is a major reason as to why you should use their services.

There is no doubt that their staff are very well qualified, are friendly to deal with, and will explain everything in terms that you will understand and when you are looking at borrowing a large amount of money there really is nothing else you should hope for.

India braces for Slum Soccer 2012
Eight under privileged Indian players are eyeing a chance to compete at the prestigious Homeless World Cup under the umbrella of Slum Soccer.
A concept to change life in the slums started by Nagpur-based NGO, Krida Vikas Sansthan 11 years back, where the underprivileged youth is only privileged enough to participate, Slum Soccer is a football tournament played for and by the underprivileged youth of India.
Since last six years, Slum Soccer has transformed into a National Championship, where teams from all over the country collide and the best 8 players are extracted to represent India in the Homeless World Cup, where 63 nations meet every year for the World Championship.
Riding high on the recent success at the Homeless World Cup, held in Paris, where India won the Community Cup for the very first time- the 7th installment of the event has just grown bigger and better.
Reincarnating to 2012 Slum Soccer National Championship-Football for All Festival as it is named for the first time is modeled after the FIFA backed 'Football for Hope' festival.
The seven day event spread across 8th-14th January, 2012, will be nothing less than a carnival. Coimbatore based Sports Management company- Performance One Services India Pvt Limited is making sure that this tournament takes place in an absolute professional format.
The Slum Soccer National Championship will be held for the very first time in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
"Across the world some of the biggest names in football have come from an underprivileged background. In India specifically in certain pockets there is a lot of football interest in these backward societies. Our objective is to harness this talent and provide a platform for future growth and development of the game in the country," Senthil Kumar Bala, Director, Performance 1 said.

Credit crunch
A credit crunch (also known as a credit squeeze or credit crisis) is a reduction in the general availability of loans (or credit) or a sudden tightening of the conditions required to obtain a loan from the banks. A credit crunch generally involves a reduction in the availability of credit independent of a rise in official interest rates. In such situations, the relationship between credit availability and interest rates has implicitly changed, such that either credit becomes less available at any given official interest rate, or there ceases to be a clear relationship between interest rates and credit availability (i.e. credit rationing occurs). Many times, a credit crunch is accompanied by a flight to quality by lenders and investors, as they seek less risky investments (often at the expense of small to medium size enterprises).[1]
Background and causes[edit]
There are a number of reasons why banks might suddenly stop or slow lending activity. For example, inadequate information about the financial condition of borrowers can lead to a boom in lending when financial institutions overestimate creditworthiness, while the sudden revelation of information suggesting that borrowers are or were less creditworthy can lead to a sudden contraction of credit. [2] Other causes can include an anticipated decline in the value of the collateral used by the banks to secure the loans; an exogenous change in monetary conditions (for example, where the central bank suddenly and unexpectedly raises reserve requirements or imposes new regulatory constraints on lending); the central government imposing direct credit controls on the banking system; or even an increased perception of risk regarding the solvency of other banks within the banking system.[1][3][4]
A credit crunch is often caused by a sustained period of careless and inappropriate lending which results in losses for lending institutions and investors in debt when the loans turn sour and the full extent of bad debts becomes known.[5][6] Careless lending tends to occur more often in fragmented, competitive credit markets in which lenders may compete with one another for market share and revenue by relaxing standards; by contrast, concentrated credit markets tend to have tighter standards and greater stability.[7]
Financial institutions facing losses may then reduce the availability of credit, and increase the cost of accessing credit by raising interest rates. In some cases lenders may be unable to lend further, even if they wish, as a result of earlier losses.
The crunch is generally caused by a reduction in the market prices of previously "overinflated" assets and refers to the financial crisis that results from the price collapse.[8] This can result in widespread foreclosure or bankruptcy for those investors and entrepreneurs who came in late to the market, as the prices of previously inflated assets generally drop precipitously. In contrast, a liquidity crisis is triggered when an otherwise sound business finds itself temporarily incapable of accessing the bridge finance it needs to expand its business or smooth its cash flow payments. In this case, accessing additional credit lines and "trading through" the crisis can allow the business to navigate its way through the problem and ensure its continued solvency and viability. It is often difficult to know, in the midst of a crisis, whether distressed businesses are experiencing a crisis of solvency or a temporary liquidity crisis.
In the case of a credit crunch, it may be preferable to "mark to market" - and if necessary, sell or go into liquidation if the capital of the business affected is insufficient to survive the post-boom phase of the credit cycle. In the case of a liquidity crisis on the other hand, it may be preferable to attempt to access additional lines of credit, as opportunities for growth may exist once the liquidity crisis is overcome.
A prolonged credit crunch is the opposite of cheap, easy and plentiful lending practices (sometimes referred to as "easy money", "loose credit", or "malinvestment"). During the upward phase in the credit cycle, asset prices may experience bouts of frenzied competitive, leveraged bidding, inducing inflation in a particular asset market. This can then cause a speculative price "bubble" to develop. As this upswing in new debt creation also increases the money supply and stimulates economic activity, this also tends to temporarily raise economic growth and employment.[9][10]
Often it is only in retrospect that participants in an economic bubble realize that the point of collapse was obvious. In this respect, economic bubbles can have dynamic characteristics not unlike Ponzi schemes or Pyramid schemes.[11]
As John Maynard Keynes observed in 1931 during the Great Depression: "A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him."[12]

Try this creative lesson in church music history on for size! Levite Genes is an easy-to-perform musical that will not only lead your children to an understanding of the privilege involved in leading worship and praise but will also explain the need for a personal desire to worship our Lord.

Solos: minimum of 20

Kathies Note: To teach kids to lead in praise and worship, I wanted them to understand who the first worship leaders were.

Levite Genes works both as a musical with drama or a great praise and worship concert using just the songs and introductory scriptures.

Interim Director
Annabel Vaughan
Annabel Vaughan trained as an architect and was most recently the Principal of the design firm publicLAB RESEARCH + DESIGN in Vancouver. Her current focus explores the role architecture plays in the cultural production of the city. She has actively designed, built, curated, written, presented, and performed on topics such as the impact of architecture on the public realm, public art, historical practices of cities and on the community's role in civic engagement.
She has co-written articles for Artspeak, West Coast Line and Vancouver Matters with Rob Brownie, and exhibited at Artspeak Gallery, Presentation House Gallery, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and The Other Gallery in Banff. Most recent she presented at Speculative Cities, a Peter Wall International Roundtable held at UBC. This past fall she co-curated an exhibition at Centre A, during the gallery's final two months of tenure in the historic BC Electric Railway building. She is currently collaborating with the photographer Alteha Thauberger on public art proposals, in Montreal and Charlottetown.
Since 2004, she has taught as a Sessional Professor at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia, as an Instructor of Architectural Science at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, guest lectured at SFU and Emily Carr University of Art + Design, and has been a sought out as a mentor for over twenty Master of Architecture thesis candidates.
"I am excited at the opportunity to work with the Centre for City Ecology. The CCE's potential to further develop mechanisms of citizen engagement, to study and alter the systems in place that currently define how we participate in shaping the future of our cities, are exciting, challenging, and full of possibility. It is my pleasure to return to Toronto and act as Interim director for the Centre. It is deeply meaningful for me to re-engage with Toronto, the city of my childhood, after almost 25 years out west."
