On 13 August 1861, Nathan W. Wilcox joined the Engineering Regiment of the West, out of Missouri. He lived in New London, Iowa. He recruited over 20 of his fellow Iowans before reporting for duty. He spent the next two-plus years building roads, bridges, canals, and railroads. He was discharged in Nashville where he continued to work under contract to the government doing surveying and architectural work.
When the war was over, he sent for his family and settled in Tennessee, living and working in Knox, Davidson, Montgomery and Franklin counties, over the next 25 years. When his body finally gave out 9 Sept 1891, he was interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville. If he had a tombstone originally, it has long-since disappeared. Descendants of Captain Wilcox recently replaced his tombstone with a new marker.

Research notes on August L. Schlapp, Co. F. 5th Iowa Cavalry
August L. Schlapp was from Burlington, Iowa. He was 24 years old when he enlisted on September 7th, 1861 as an 8th Corporal. On October 25, 1861 he mustered in to Co. F., 5th Iowa Cavalry. He reenlisted 1/14/64 and mustered out 8/11/65.
About two months prior to writing this letter he was listed as a POW at Lockridge's Mill, TN. He was returned to his regiment on 6/10/62, writing this letter just a few weeks later. Schlaap was born in Germany.
At the time of Schlapp writing this letter he was a member of the District and Army of West Tennessee.
According to David Conzett's web site: Schlapp was one of the men who was part of an amazing episode in the regiment's history. The Official Roster entry says "taken prisoner May 5, 1862, Lockridge's Mill, Tennessee. Returned to Company June 10, 1862." However, the story did not end there. The men had been paroled by the Confederates, but were not properly exchanged. Nevertheless they were coerced by their commander to reenter the fray. This was contrary to laws of war, and the men knew it. Some disobeyed the order, but most acquiesced when they witness the punishment of their friends. Schlapp's entry in the 1888 Portrait and Biograhical Album of Des Moines County, Iowa describes the event this way, stating he "was captured near Mayfield, Ky., in 1862, held a prisoner for two weeks and discharged on parole. The parole was not respected by his superior officers, and, with others of his comrades, he was forced to return to active duty."
The 5th Iowa Cavalry saw action at:
- Paris, TN – March 1862
- Lockridge's Mill, TN - May 1862
- Cumberland Iron Works, TN – August 1862
- Lafayette, TN – October 1862
- Garrettsburg, KY – November 1862
- McMinnville, TN – September 1863
- Wartrace, TN – October 1863
- Chattahoochee River, GA – July 1863
- Atlanta Campaign – summer 1864
- Duck River, TN - November 1964
- Battle of Nashville – Dec 15, 1864; "when the great battle before that city was fought it took part at the extreme right where it suffered but little."
- Pulaski, TN (Hood's Retreat) - late December; In the pursuit of Hood, which nearly annihilated his whole army, the regiment was very active, repeatedly overtaking and engaging his cavalry, with some loss.
- Other places: Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee

More about Schlapp:
August L. Schlapp, a member of the wholesale grocery house of Biklen, Winzer & Co., was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, July 27, 1837, and is a son of H. L. Schlapp, also a native of that country. He was educated in the gymnasium of his native city, taking a classical course, and then was employed in an antiquarian book-store for a time as a salesman, but subsequently emigrated to America, coming direct to Burlington, Iowa, which he reached in July 1857. At this time he was but twenty years of age. He engaged as a farm-hand in Des Moines County, also doing some work of he same character in Henry County until the war broke out, when he enlisted in the Fremont Hussars, an independent cavalry regiment, but was subsequently transferred with his company to the 5th Iowa Cavalry, was captured near Mayfield, Ky., in 1862, held a prisoner for two weeks and discharged on parole. The parole was not respected by his superior officers, and, with others of his comrades, he was forced to return to active duty. His promotion to the rank of Second Lieutenant occurred Oct. 20, 1864. Until 1863 Mr. Schlapp's services were employed in hunting guerrillas, but at that time his regiment joined the main army, the Army of the Cumberland, before Murfreesboro, and participated in the battles of Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, Tullahoma, Chattanooga, capture of Atlanta, battle of Jonesboro, Franklin, Nashville, Decatur, the raid through middle Tennessee, Wilson's Raid, the capture of Selma, Ala., and of Columbus, Ga. He was mustered out at the close of the war, Aug. 20, 1865.
On his return from the war, Mr. Schlapp located in Burlington, Iowa, and engaged with Starker & Hagemann, wholesale grocers, as shipping clerk, and one year later left them to engage in the retail grocery business at Ft. Madison. He carried on that business successfully until 1875, when he sold out, returned to Burlington, and with Biklen and Winzer succeeded the wholesale grocery house of Starker, Hagemann & Co. Mr. Schlapp has been an active member of the firm of Biklen, Winzer & Co., the most extensive house in this line in the city since its incorporation.
On the 13th of October, 1866, in Burlington, Iowa, Mr. Schlapp led to the marriage alter Miss Lina Krust, a native of St. Louis, Mo. Three living children grace their union, two sons and a daughter–Carl H. L., Ernest Otto and Anna.
Mr. Schlapp was a Republican for many years, but is now known as a member of that class called Mugwumps, and, having never been an aspirant for the honors of public office, has devoted his attention strictly to business pursuits. He is a member of the Turners' Society, the Crystal Lake Shooting Club, the Burlington Commercial Club, and Burlington Schuetzen Verein, and has always taken an active interest in all that pertains to the welfare and development of the city, being recognized as one of the representative business men.

Tupelo, Mississippi
January 15, 1865
"We have been marching and fighting all of the time on the 30 day of November we had the hardest little fight that has bin during this campaign but we was too hard for them. We drove them out of their works but our loss was heavy. It is reported to be thirty eight hundred kiled and wounded and I han't any dout but it is true for I want over the battle field the next morning and it was the turiblest sight that my eye ever beheld. The men lay piled and crossed upon each other where or men charged them. I think that we had about 3 to the yankeys one kiled. This fight took place at franklin. Tennessee and we run them on to Nashville where we skirmished with them several days when our Brigade was ordered to murfreesborough, we reached there on the 6 day of December and in the 7 we had a faight there with the yankeys but they was too many for us. We had several kiled and wounded our colonel was shot through the arme and was left in the hands of the enemy. They was one of my Co. that was left there but I don't know whether he was kiled or captured and we fell back some three or four miles and took appsition so as to keep them from reinforcing at Nashville and on the 15 and 16 was a big fight on the night of the 16 Janeral hood commenced retreating from Nashville with a heavy loss and we have retreated some too hundred miles through the wet and cold mud half leg deep and a great many of the men was entirely barfotted and almost naked. The men marched over the frozen ground till their feet was worn out till they could be tracked by the blood and some of them there feet was frosted and swolen till they bursted till they could not stand on their feet now this is what I saw my self and our Brigade left back with Jeneral Forrest Caveraly to Bring up and cover they retreat which left us in danger of being captured at any time but we got out safe or the mos of them, we had to stop and fight them most every day. On the 25 of the month which was Christmas day we pased through the town that is called Pulaski and we crossed the river and the caveraly aim to burn the bridge but the yankees run up and drove our men away about too o'clock they overtaken us and we form a line of battle and they came up and we let loose a volley at they which turned them and we charged after them and captured several horses all one brass pees of artillery and that given them a sear till was not pestered with them any till we reached Tennessee River and we crossed over where we joined the rest of the army, or what got out. They was at least one third of the men left in Tenn kiled wounded and captured. So I will stop writing for this time. I am truly thankful that I am spared with they has so many hundred yeas thoughsands killed by and round me and I have yet escaped."

"Do you have a parent that had passed away?"
The old man was sitting across from me in the wild. He told me once he built a tree house that was fifty feet high and a hundred feet wide. I believed him.
"No," I answered.
He looked at me and pointed at my feet, "then why are you wearing socks inside the house?"
I looked up to remind him we're in the forest and not a house, but as my eyes reached his face I saw a white wall behind him. He was right, we were in a house.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"We are in the house. In the house we cannot wear socks unless one of our parents is dead," he said with raised eyebrows.
"Is it bad luck?" I asked,
I quickly took my socks off, "I'm hungry," I said.
The old man got up from his chair and walked into the kitchen. I watched as his naked feet hit the porcelain floor with soft thuds. When he came back he had a bowl of green grapes with him. He handed it to me and sat down. I started chewing quickly, drinking down the juice.
"You're not wearing socks," I simply said.
"I am not," he simply answered.
When I had finished eating, I carefully placed the bowl down on the floor, only to find out the floor became snow.
"Have you ever been in a snow globe?" He asked.
"No," I answered with a smile.
The old man got up and took my face between his wrinkly hands, he spoke silently into my eyes, "Do you want to stay?"
I shook my head. Yes.
I closed my eyes and woke to blue skies.
I died in daylight.

The Anthem, which has large screens and a Velveeta burger, is one of the best Chicago sports bars.
With five professional sports teams and many college allegiances, it's a good thing that Chicago has many great sports bars for watching games. Whether you want to take a break from the tailgate and eat housemade hot dogs while watching the Blackhawks at Old Town Social, indulge in Jucy Lucys while watching the Bears at the Anthem, drink Three Floyds on tap while watching the Bulls at High Dive, or just need a spot to watch the Cubs or Sox, here are Chicago's best sports bars for fans of any sport.
RECOMMENDED: The best bars in Chicago
The Anthem
- Price band: 1/4
The first thing you see is the game, projected onto the wall to a scale so large it's visible down the block. Then the hightop communal tables, the ceiling draped with an American flag. You take a seat and there's a bartender who's as happy to make you a cocktail (try the tiki-ish Episode 73) as to crack open a PBR tallboy. He serves you a Jucy Lucy, a stroke of Minnesotan genius that injects a greasy, juicy burger with Velveeta cheese. And that's the last thing you can, and need to, remember.
- 1725 W Division St, (at Hermitage Ave)
Avenue Tavern
- Price band: 1/4
It's got the requisite menu of fried food and burgers, televisions in every corner and a shot-and-beer–loving clientele. But the surroundings—stone walls, glass facade—lend this Lakeview sports bar a sensibility so laid-back and inviting that even the least sports-enthusiastic people can get into it.
- 2916 N Broadway, (at Oakdale Ave)
Crew Bar and Grill
- Price band: 1/4
Whether you're hungry for baseball, football, rugby or just beer, this straight-friendly gay sports bar will work. Forty beers on tap (75 total), tasty (and even healthy) pub grub, lots of TVs and a rah-rah decor make this a fun place to cheer for your team, whatever team you're on.
- 4804 N Broadway, (between Lawrence Ave and Gunnison St)
- Price band: 1/4
This loud, sports-crazed triangular pub fills up fast, mainly because it plays host to boisterous beer-swilling alums, with alliances leaning toward University of Arkansas, UNC, Penn State, Syracuse and University of Kentucky. On Thursdays, its asses-to-elbows when 10-cent wings and $7 pitchers of Bud Light draw even nonsports fans out of the woodwork.
- 345 W Armitage Ave, (at Lincoln Ave)
The Globe Pub
- Price band: 1/4
Whether 11am or 11pm, it's hard to find a seat at this North Center Brit pub. Call it European-style drinking, buffered by U.K. pub grub. During soccer and rugby matches, the crowd of regulars vacillates between raucous and downright scary, but fair-weather fans are welcome to join the zoo.
- 1934 W Irving Park Rd, (between Wolcott and Damen Aves)
High Dive
With Three Floyds Gumballhead and Goose Island 312 on tap and wings hot off the grill, this well-lit bar will never truly be a dive. But we don't care, because we feel at home among the concert posters on the walls and the red-velvet booths. And if we're going to drink out of bottles, it might as well be from this 50 beer–strong selection.
- 1938 W Chicago Ave, (between Winchester and Damen Aves)
- Price band: 1/4
The corner where this North Center tap sits has been a neighborhood hot spot since Prohibition: the former Schulien's featured a basement speakeasy and a house magician. The 'hood has changed—today's O'Donovan's operates as a laid-back hangout for younger couples and small groups—but the tableside magic shows (and the occasional balloon sculptor) remain on weekends. Escape the crowds in the tucked-away beer garden, heated and enclosed in the winter.
- 2100 W Irving Park Rd, (at Hoyne Ave)
Public House
- Price band: 2/4
The glitzy sports bar from the Bull & Bear folks is a hit, and why not? The food—pretzels with cheese fondue, burgers with crispy fries, desserts by HotChocolate's Mindy Segal—is as good as you could eat while Sugar Ray is blasting. The awesome beer list makes the extensive offerings accessible via icons that even denote what kind of glass each brew is served in. As for the much buzzed-about table-taps and wall-taps (yes, that's beer taps built into the walls), our server was so on top of her game, we'll gladly leave those to the high rollers.
- 400 N State St, (at Kinzie St)
The Rail Bar & Grill
- Price band: 2/4
How did one of the best sports bars end up in Ravenswood? More than a dozen beers on tap, almost that many plasma screens (42 inches, and size does matter) and 25-cent jumbo wings on Mondays—beats the sticky floors and drunken screaming at your current spot.
- 4709 N Damen Ave, (between Leland Ave and Giddings St)
Schaller's Pump
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
There's no better place to cheer on your team than this down-home, blue-collar institution that's been serving up cold ones since 1881. Arrive at least a half hour before game time if you plan to eat—and you should definitely plan to eat. Just-like-Mom-made classics include crispy pork tenderloin smothered in perfect pan gravy and greaseless fried chicken. Add doting servers, cheap beer and a living room–like atmosphere, and you've got the best sports experience short of front-row tickets.
- 3714 S Halsted St, (at 37th St)
The Scout
- Price band: 1/4
There are other sports bars in Chicago. There are even other sports bars in the South Loop. There is, however, no use in telling either of those things to the crowd of Bears fans waiting up to an hour to secure a table (and with it, a 14-inch grilled-cheese sandwich and a prime view of a TV or 30) at the Scout: They'll just think you're trying to cut in line.
- 1301 S Wabash Ave, (at 13th St)
Wild Goose Bar & Grill
- Price band: 1/4
The paint's chipping off the walls here and there, the bathroom is a claustrophobe's nightmare, and if it's busy, you might be forced to belly up to a folding table. Then again, this surprisingly spacious bar is filled with so many flat-screen and projection TVs and fills our stomachs with enough yummy bar food that we almost didn't notice.
- 4365 N Lincoln Ave, (between Hutchinson St and Cullom Ave)

Heidelberg, 16.11.2009 - The human rights organization FIAN
International is expecting a self-critical analysis and a change of
course in global food politics from the World Summit on Food Security
starting in Rome today. In 1996, governments had promised to halve
hunger by 2015. "The rise to over one billion in numbers of malnourished
and starving people is an unparalleled scandal of global politics,"
criticizes Flavio Valente, Secretary-General of FIAN International. "The
community of states must unmistakably recognize their failure and
clearly name the causes. The global food politics must be coordinated in
a more democratic and transparent way by means of a strengthened UN and
further be monitored on the basis of the human right to food," Valente
According to FIAN, the final declaration draft is concealing some of the
central causes of hunger. "The summit declaration does not mention in
any way the sellout of African and Asian countries' agricultural lands
to foreign states and companies," comments Sofia Monsalve, agrarian
policies expert at FIAN International. "Regarding speculation and
agrofuels - two central causes of the price hikes - the declaration only
recommends carrying out studies and entering into dialogue. At the same
time, the declaration is demanding that agrarian markets further open
up, but does not mention the detrimental effects of agrarian dumping
policies. The combination of market opening and dumping threatens the
right to food of millions of small farmers," explains Monsalve. "The
industrialized countries must finally recognize their responsibility for
the realization of the right to food, if they want to regain credibility."
As a result of the summit, FIAN is expecting convincing steps to reform
and stabilize the UN within the field of world nutrition. "The UN
Committee on World Food Security (CFS), which underwent a reform process
in October, must therefore in the future coordinate the international
food system, develop a global framework strategy, and monitor national
and international programs," demands Valente. All of which should be
based on the Right to Food Guidelines that were unanimously adopted by
FAO member states in 2004.
FIAN advises against the current attempt of the USA and other states to
marginalize the reformed Committee on World Food Security from the very
beginning. Some states want to transfer the 20 billion USD that were
agreed by the G8 to invest into agriculture in developing countries to a
World Bank Trust. "If these financial resources are passed on to the
World Bank, the UN will be left out," warns Valente. "Neither developing
country's governments nor civil society might then participate in
decisions on the assignment of the funds," Valente adds. "Respective
national governments must strive to prevent this setback and commit
themselves to achieve a strong mandate of the reformed Committee on
World Food Security," concludes Monsalve.
*Contact and background information:*
Flavio Valente (+49-172-1394447) and Sofía Monsalve
(+49-173-7570286) will be attending the World Food Summit on behalf of
FIAN International. They will be available for interview or comment in
Rome during the Civil Society Forum that takes place in parallel to the
Summit from 14-17^th and during the official Summit from 16-18^th.
Call Wilma Strothenke at FIAN International at
+49-6221-65300-56 for scheduling an interview or background information.
Failure by national governments and international
institutions to ensure the right to food has led to rising numbers of
malnourished and starving people, as documented in the /Right to Food
and Nutrition Watch 2009, a report launched in October by a consortium
of human rights organizations, social movements and development
agencies, among them Brot für die Welt, the Interchurch Organization for
Development Cooperation (ICCO) and FIAN International.

Eight Mommy Apps I'd Actually Pay For
For any software developers out there, here are ideas for eight smart phone apps mommies would actually pay for.
By Joslyn Gray
I'm totally addicted to my smart phone, to the point where I feel panicky without it. However, I cant believe the number of completely useless parenting apps that are out there, for sale. I mean, if you want to collect a bunch of parenting tips and make them into an app, fine. But Im certainly not going to pony up $4.99 for it.
Allow me to suggest eight apps moms can actually use.

It's okay though. Hopefully this paper will be fucking fabulous because I'm starting early and not the morning it's due, and it will make up for the shittiness of my in-class presentation on it, which was so shitty because I hadn't written the paper yet because it wasn't due yet.
Emily Nagoski. no idea who she is, but i thank her. there is no excuse for rape and anyone who excuses it is insulting both the victim and the rapist. (via rapeisnotajoke)
There are two arguments I've noticed
So basically we have to prepare ourselves all the time, but if we ever give a man the sense that we view them as a misogynistic/violent threat - that's unfair
(via newwavefeminism)
over 70% rape is at the hands of men you know and trust. friends, lovers, family members, etc. so the only TRUE safety is avoiding all men and shooting them on site. hows that?

DJ Nate
- Artist: DJ Nate
- Links: Old defunct site with Biog DJ Nate Footwurk Trak myspace and Another DJ Nate myspace,
DJ Nate, born Nathan Clark, grew up in the westside of Chicago. He is well known within Chicago for his Footwork Traks, which are instrumental tracks in the genre known as "Juke", made for Footwurking, or Jukin', a dance similar to Jit, which has it's roots in African dancing (according to conversations I've had with some of these guys). The Juke sound has its roots in Chicago House, Ghettotech, Booty House and is recognisably a manic sped up version of this. It is sometimes hard to draw a definite line between Juke and Footwork tracks but to generalise, Footwork tracks (or maybe the sort of Footwork tracks I'm interested in) utilise samples from pop and hip hop, pitching, layering and triggering them in a rhythmic manner, mirroring the rhythm of the feet in the dance. The dance battles mean that some of the tracks repeat the dancers' names in a kind of repetitive mantra, which i find hypnotising, sometimes the track will go through the names of an entire squad (Y.P.S, Heat Squad etc.) as they take the circle. This hypnotising quality combined with the sparser drum patterns, often with busy fills, relentless triplets and off-kilter accents, mirroring the speed of the dance, is what gives these Footwurk Traks their unique quality for me.
DJ Nate releases his single "Hatas Our Motivation" and album "Da Trak Genious" in August and September respectively.

Largest Mercury Testing Project Puts Spotlight on Proposed Kalama Power Plant
Final Results of Largest Mercury Testing Project Puts Spotlight on Proposed Coal-fired Power Plant in Kalama, WA
Washington – The results of the nation's largest mercury hair-sampling project were released today by the Environmental Quality Institute (EQI) at the University of North Carolina-Asheville. The survey found mercury levels exceeding the EPA's recommended limit of one microgram of mercury per gram of hair in one in five women of childbearing age tested.
More than 6,600 women from 50 states of all ages participated in the hair tests conducted by Greenpeace and the Sierra Club. Here in Washington State, 28% of Washingtonians were found to have a dangerous amount of mercury in their bodies. The study comes at a time when Energy Northwest, a consortium of public utilities in Washington, has proposed to build a $1 billion coal-fired power plant in Kalama, WA, a facility that would increase mercury emissions in the state.
Mercury contamination is a particular concern for women of childbearing years (16 to 49 years old) because mercury exposure in the womb can cause neurological damage and other health problems in children. The EPA has not established mercury exposure health standards for older children, men, or women older than 49.
"We don't want more mercury emissions by building a coal-fired power plant in southwest Washington," said Shannon Harps, Associate Regional Representative with Sierra Club. "This study should be a wake-up call for Washington to move to smart, clean energy solutions such as wind and solar in order to keep women and children mercury-free."
Coal burning power plants are the nation's biggest mercury polluter, releasing 42 percent of the country's industrial mercury pollution. The Centralia coal-fired power plant is the second most mercury polluting source in Washington State. Mercury from dirty power plants falls into lakes, streams and oceans, concentrating in fish and shellfish, which are then consumed by people.
"In the samples we analyzed, the greatest single factor influencing mercury exposure was the frequency of fish consumption," said Dr. Steve Patch, Co-director of EQI and co-author of the report. "We saw a direct relationship between people's mercury levels and the amount of store-bought fish, canned tuna fish or locally caught fish people consumed."
In 2005, The Bush Administration proposed weak power plant mercury regulations that violate the Clean Air Act, according to 11 State Attorneys General. States have taken the lead in protecting Americans from mercury pollution, and, most recently, Illinois' Governor Blagojevich called for 90% reductions in mercury. The spotlight now shifts to Governor Gregoire, as Washingtonians urge her to say no to new fossil fuel in-state facilities and no to purchasing out-of-state energy from coal-fired power plants.
Home hair sampling kits are available at cost via Sierra Club's web site: http://sierraclub.org/mercury/get_tested/. The EQI report and supporting documents are available at http://sierraclub.org/mercury/.

October 20, 2014
Michel Sapin and Emmanuel Macron come to visit their counterparts in Germany today with the proposal for Germany to invest as much as France is to save. In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine they said those €50bn France plans to save over the next three years should be matched by new investments of the same magnitude in Germany. This would be a good equilibrium, the two ministers insist. They say that Europe is facing a demand problem and that there is a collective interest for Germany to invest. Macron draw a parallel to the 1930's, when Germany pursued an over-ambitious savings policy.
The idea was not received well in German government circles. No, there would be no investment programme and no quid-pro-quo deal for the French retrenchment policy. Such an expenditure would only jeopardise the objective of the German finance ministry to achieve a balanced budget over the coming years. The German side expects the talks between the ministers of both the finance and economic ministries today to focus on why France is lagging behind in its reform efforts instead.
The FAZ interview also shows that French politicians were quite confident that the European Commission would let pass France's budget plans. Sapin said that France is a strong economic and political power in Europe, e.g. in defence, suggesting that any cutbacks could be destabilising for the eurozone as a whole. Sapin also sees no need to review the rules, as they are "intelligent and flexible" enough to take into account the economic situation. Spiegel has the story that both countries are working on a written deal to enable the Commission to approve the French budget without naming its sources. The deal is said to foresee a detailed roadmap for deficit reduction and structural reform in return for Germany to oppose any sanctions that the European Commission might propose. The German government, despite its strong advocacy of fiscal discipline, is not keen to trigger a full blown clash between the euro zone heavyweights. Berlin played down the report, on the grounds that it was not up to the two capitals to strike a deal on behalf of the Commission.
We have an extensive coverage today about how the Italian and French governments are planning to push their budgets past the European Commission; we also have stories on the rise of Podemos and its advocacy of Spanish debt restructuring, on Rodrigo Rato, on Martine Aubry, on Alexis Tsipras; on Greek bonds; on the New York Times' ECB minutes leak; on the eurozone money market; on the impact of the new GDP data, and comments from Caroline de Gruyter, Gavyn Davis and Wolfgang Munchau.

Welcome to the eurointelligence.com homepage.
Since 2006 we have been providing our readers from central banks, European and international institutions and the financial sector with our daily morning newsbriefing, each morning, at 9am CET, Mondays to Fridays. We are independent from governments and institutions, so you get our honest, sharp and frequently humorous take on the news and the debate. The subjects we are currently focusing on are the now clearly visible economic slowdown, the sustainability of the Italian debt, whether the economic recovery in Spain is for real and our assessment of the impact of the geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe in particular. Naturally we also follow the ECB and the European institutions as they work through the crisis.
You might ask, is the eurozone still important, since the acute phase of the crisis is over for now? Unfortunately, few of the problems have been resolved. This is something you will quickly notice once you start reading the briefing on a daily basis: there is no better and quicker way to keep yourself ahead of events in the eurozone.
I would like to invite you to register for a free 14-day trial, without commitment, so you can judge for yourself.

Im sorry i dont meant to complain, but am i the only one who doesn't like that Diva Dirt is blue and white now. Im a guy and even i liked the pink theme, this blue theme for the site just looks bland, generic and boring.
No i really like the blue and white the pink was too pink and i am a guy too
I like the blue and white as well, I'm a guy, but I didn't like the pink.. it was too bright for my liking, the blue/white comes off more professional looking.
I am hoping that we get a new diva debut or atleast a diva return for some reason :)
Me too, this division desperatly needs some new faces, but they also need to display the old ones more though
i have to disagree with the last bit.
i'm all for new girls coming in, thats great.
but the old ones? i feel like they've already had their time- and they set the standard for what divas should be. they don't need to come back & steal the spotlight off of the younger girls who desperately need it.
but the thing is the way they are booking things now, any girl that debuts is going to get los in the shuffle i mean look at how Aksana and Maxine ended up
@SHERRISHEPHERDWWE i love for the English Muffin aka Layla aka Ms.Flawless returns tonight she's the only face that D.O.D hasn't faced
i can't wait for the divas
hopefully we get more than a tag team match involving you know who *insert eye roll here*
also, who else is as proud of them as i am? those girls did it up last night!
@iluvwrestlingvalets- i miss black & pink diva dirt, lol.
me too, the last few PPV"s match have been unreal awesome, and even some of the weekly matches, very impressed with all the divas (except Rosa lol),
I do too, this theme just doesnt scream Diva Dirt to me, oh well this isnt burger king lol
I am so proud of Eve<3 She impressed a lot of people last night.
i've been proud of her.
i think it was you, me, evelover, and a few others here every week like
"eve can wrestle. why don't you guys see that?"
eve showed out last night. she put her all into that match. as did beth.
Add me to that list…I always thought Eve was good in the ring and if you look at her full body of work since she started in the ring, she has really steadily improved. I also dont agree with those who say she is boring. I just dont think she's been given the chance by creative to be special. But few model Divas have as much passion for the business as Eve and I respect her for that.
Love this comment :D .
And I don't think I need to express how proud I am. Eve deserves ALL the praise she is getting atm :D.
I agree! She has my love! Let's keep showing our support :)
You know that after last night ..Eve's twitter followers went up by like 2,000 lol ..I think it was 2,000. Not sure but I think it was that .
That's great to hear! Kelly Kelly, get ready to be dethroned! lol jks
Shes getting there ,Haha (:
I feel like tonight might be good but i'm not gonna get my hopes up.It MIGHT be good.
The only thing I can honestly say I like about Kevin Nash is that he's apparently a very gay friendly person which is kinda of cool honestly.
I thought HHH got stripped of his title of "COO"?
so with eve, kelly and the bella twins all being used on smackdown, we'll likely either get a smackdown face vs beth in a squash… or no diva match at all !
*used on superstars -__-
ooh, unless a beth promo "i beat all the divas blahblahblah" maryse comeback, as a face, layla return, diva debut??? hmm wishful thinking!?
John Laurinitis sounds like he smokes at least 8 packs a day
or should i say John Laurengities, excuse the typo
After this hhh nash feud I hope they do a nash vs big show feud. :)
Wtf hhh gettin a spas attack lmao
I think HHH and the Bellas take the same acting class.
PS – I think I heard the production guys before the the replay.
Aksana Aksana Aksana is in the house
Yes finalyl, i wonder why they dropped her angle with Teddy Long
Hhh is sooooooo dramatic lmao.
Come on, Nash made it so obvious he hit him with his fist.
It sad watching segments seeing the crowd erupt while I have an emotionless face. BRING OUT THE DIVAS!
Also, Undertaker and Michelle McCool are backstage!
I miss hearing YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH FOR ME OHHHH NO in the arena :(
Sorry to be negative but its probably Kelly vs Rosa or a Bella. The match will be 2 mins (including entrances). A couple of botches and it will take place before the main event.
Kelly/Eve and the Bellas taped a match for Superstars earlier, so they're probably not going to do the main show..
Can Kevin Nash go away now?
You dont like Big Daddy Just for Men??
correction: grand daddy just for men *
LMAOOOOOO..thanks for the correction
Lmao. @Ebeauty
I really hope they give us something good tonight .
I honestly wouldn't mind them doing qualifying matches for the SS 10 elimination tag team match …IF their is going to be one.
PG is dead, they just dont want to admit it
Yea, by wwe logic one can attack an injured man on a stretcher with a sledgehammer, but one can't choke someone with a tie!
What bothers me is that no matter how good a PPV match we have like the one Beth and Kelly had when they did the top rope superplex (sorry cant remember the name of it), the next night's Raw is ALWAYS a major drop the ball moment. WWE either doesn't know how or doesn't care to follow up a big Divas PPV match with a RAW that continues the momentum.
I really dont know why, its like the creative writers just couldn't be more uninspired when it comes to the divas, a follow up angle for the divas shouldn't be hard, they just make it hard.
Listen up all y'all it's a sabotage. That's all.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Very comfortable and clean apartment, was well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Great location near a nice beach, whilst we all love Manhatten it was great to be able to get out of the city to a quieter and calmer location after a day of sightseeing. Express buses from outside the apartment excellent, a comfortable ride to and from various Manhatten locations - just need to plan your day if you want to use them as they are basically for commuters and don't run at weekends. Other easy 24 hr transport options from Staten Island to Brooklyn and Manhatten were reliable, great views from the ferry. Marina was incredibly helpful and very friendly, available if we needed her but otherwise left us to get on with our holiday undisturbed. Overall, the apartment was a very cost effective way to spend a week in New York, far cheaper and much more comfortable / sociable than spending 7 nights in hotel rooms. We would definately choose to stay in this apartment if we visit New York again. Thanks to Marina for helping us to have a great holiday.

Timely Vaccination May Reduce Hospitalizations for Kids
Aimee Simone, Assistant Editor
Published Online:
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Getting childhood vaccinations according to the recommended schedule appears to reduce the risk of hospitalization for infections, according to the results of a Danish study.
Young children who received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine on time were less likely to be hospitalized for infectious diseases than were those who did not get their shots in the recommended order, according to the results of a study published in the February 26, 2014, issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association
Drawing from previous research that has shown that live vaccines, such as MMR, may have nonspecific effects in low-income countries, such as reducing the rate of mortality for causes unrelated to the vaccine, the current
set out to determine whether such an association existed in high-income countries as well. The researchers analyzed vaccination and hospital admissions data for children born in Denmark from 1997 through 2006, comparing hospitalization rates for children who were vaccinated with the MMR and the
Haemophilus influenzae
type b (DTaP-IPV-Hib) vaccines according to schedule with those who did not receive the shots in the recommended order.
Infants were recommended to receive 3 doses of the DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine at 3, 5, and 12 months of age, respectively, and the MMR vaccine at 15 months of age. Children who had received 2 doses of the DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine before the age of 11 months were followed from the age of 11 months to 2 years and were separated into 2 groups: those who followed recommendations and received the third dose of the DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine before the MMR and those who received the MMR before the third dose of DTaP-IPV-Hib.
A total of 495,987 children who had 56,889 hospitalizations for any type of infection were included in the study. The results indicated that children who received the MMR vaccine after the DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine as recommended had significantly lower rates of hospital admissions than those who received the third dose of DTaP-IPV-Hib after the MMR. Children who received the vaccines out of order had a 5.1% chance of hospitalization for any infection between the ages of 16 and 24 months, compared with a 4.6% chance among those vaccinated according to recommendations. Among children who received the vaccines in the order recommended, the association was strongest for lower respiratory tract infections.
Although the study's results suggest that the MMR vaccine has beneficial nonspecific effects, the authors of an
accompanying editorial
note that bias is hard to control in observational studies such as this one.
"The possible implications of any such nonspecific vaccine effects for the infant immunization schedule remain unclear," they write.
Although more research is needed to support the findings, the authors of the study note that even in high-income countries, timely vaccination is far from universal; only 50% of children included in the study were vaccinated according to the recommended schedule.
"Physicians should encourage parents to have children vaccinated on time with MMR and avoid giving vaccinations out of sequence," they suggest.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Ryan Madson
Tue Feb 11, 2014 1:20 pm James Wagner of the Washington Post reports that the Nationals were one of the teams in attendance at Ryan Madson's throwing session Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nationals came away impressed, as Madson reportedly touched 93 mph during the session. It is believed that about 15 teams were present, including the Red Sox. The Phillies have also expressed interest in a reunion. Madson should decide on a team soon, though he will likely have to settle for a minor league deal given his recent elbow issues.
Source: Washington Post
Sat Feb 8, 2014 5:57 pm Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports the Red Sox were one of the teams in attendance at Ryan Madson's throwing session Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: There were somewhere close to 15 teams in attendance, so the Red Sox weren't alone in their interest in Madson's recovery. The team is set at closer with Koji Uehara returning, so the team's interest in Madson would likely be as a setup man. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reported the 33-year-old touched 93 mph during the most recent session, and he should have a job sooner than later.
Source: Nick Cafardo on Twitter
Fri Feb 7, 2014 5:10 pm ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that Ryan Madson hit 93 mph during an audition for teams Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Crasnick said there were "about 15 teams" in attendance and "multiple clubs" are expressing interest. Madson hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011 due to elbow problems, but it appears he's healthy at the moment. He could make for a nice gamble for someone.
Source: Jerry Crasnick on Twitter
Thu Feb 6, 2014 5:55 pm FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that Ryan Madson will throw for scouts Friday in the Phoenix area.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson held a private workout for a team last week, but he remains unsigned. The 33-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011 due to elbow problems, but he makes for a fine gamble assuming he's finally healthy. The Phillies, Red Sox, and Royals are among the clubs who have been linked to Madson this offseason.
Source: Jon Morosi on Twitter
Wed Jan 29, 2014 7:39 pm Ryan Madson held a private workout for a team Tuesday, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.
Fantasy Source Spin: Crasnick also said the unnamed team is viewed as the frontrunner for the right-hander's services. Madson has a public workout scheduled for February 7 in Phoenix, an event several teams are expected to attend. Among those believed to have interest are the Phillies, Red Sox and Royals, and it's possible one of those is the aforementioned mystery team.
Source: Jerry Crasnick on Twitter
Fri Jan 17, 2014 10:43 am FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Phillies, Red Sox and Royals are among the clubs considering Ryan Madson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson hasn't pitched since 2011 due to elbow issues but will audition for teams the first week of February. All three of the aforementioned squads have closers, as Madson will surely have to settle for a one-year "show me" deal and be used in a setup role. The 33-year-old posted a 2.37 ERA with 32 saves in 2011 in his last healthy season.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Tue Dec 24, 2013 9:50 am Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com hears that the Phillies have interest in a reunion with Ryan Madson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Salisbury also hears that the interest is mutual. Madson hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011 due to elbow issues, but he could be worth a low-risk flier. The 33-year-old is expected to soon audition for teams and will likely have to accept a minor league deal. Madson was originally drafted by the Phillies in 1998 and posted a 3.59 ERA over nine seasons with the club.
Source: CSNPhilly.com
Thu Dec 12, 2013 3:26 pm FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Red Sox are among many teams who have recently scouted free agent reliever Ryan Madson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011, as he had Tommy John surgery in 2012 and sat out all of 2013 after suffering numerous setbacks. However, it's easy to understand why teams are monitoring his progress. No word on whether anything is imminent.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Tue Oct 29, 2013 9:45 am ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that Ryan Madson has left the Boras Corporation and hired Damon Lapa and Scott Leventhal of All Bases Covered Management.
Fantasy Source Spin: After missing all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery, Madson dealt with numerous setbacks in his recovery in 2013 and never threw a pitch for the Angels before being given his release in August. Two years after he nearly agreed to a four-year, $44 million deal with the Phillies, he may struggle to find a guaranteed contract.
Source: Jerry Crasnick on Twitter
Mon Aug 5, 2013 10:13 pm Angels released RHP Ryan Madson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson has never been able to get over the hump in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and the Angels obviously think he wasn't going to make an impact this season. The righty will turn 33 later this month and will enter free agency this winter with plenty of question marks. He'll surely have to settle for a one-year, incentive-laden contract.
Sat Jul 6, 2013 8:05 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) is hoping to begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson has stopped and started his throwing program a few times in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but he's back on the upswing after throwing a few successful bullpen sessions recently. He'll throw another one on Sunday, and if all goes well he should be cleared to face minor league batters. The right-hander should be ready to join the Angels' bullpen in late July or early August.
Source: Alden Gonzalez on Twitter
Wed Jul 3, 2013 9:48 am Ryan Madson (elbow) threw three bullpen sessions last week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Out all season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, they were his first mound sessions since mid-May. He's only throwing at about 60-70 percent intensity, but it's an encouraging step forward for the veteran reliever. He's scheduled to throw his next bullpen session on Thursday and hopes to resume a rehab assignment within a couple of weeks.
Source: Angels.mlb.com
Tue Jun 25, 2013 6:28 pm Angels transferred RHP Ryan Madson from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's just a procedural move in order to add Collin Cowgill to the 40-man roster. Madson remains out indefinitely as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery.
Sun Jun 23, 2013 4:39 pm Angels manager Mike Scioscia admitted Sunday that Ryan Madson (elbow) could be shut down for the season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson was hoping to throw a bullpen session this weekend, but remains without a timetable to resume throwing from a mound. "As the calendar turns, it becomes more of a possibility," Scioscia said. "I know Ryan's frustrated. It's definitely frustrating for us, especially since he was virtually ready -- so close."
Source: Angels.mlb.com
Mon Jun 17, 2013 7:56 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) could resume throwing from a mound by this weekend or early next week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson has had multiple setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, so there's obviously no timetable for his return at this point. If he encounters another speed bump along the way, he could wind up shutting things down.
Source: Mike DiGiovanna on Twitter
Tue Jun 11, 2013 12:03 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) is still limited to throwing on flat ground.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson had another setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery last month and hasn't progressed beyond playing catch. "I'm just frustrated," said Madson. "I really don't have any answers. I just really want to pitch, really bad. I'll do anything. Anything. But it seems like there really isn't much to do, other than let it heal." Madson will explore a variety of scenarios if the soreness continues over the next week or two, including going for more tests or potentially shutting things down.
Source: Angels.mlb.com
Fri May 31, 2013 6:52 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) has resumed playing catch.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson experienced another setback with his surgically-repaired elbow last week, but he was able to play catch on Thursday and Friday. While that's good news, he's nowhere close to returning to game action. Fantasy owners shouldn't wait on him.
Source: Pedro Mourna on Twitter
Wed May 22, 2013 4:15 pm Ryan Madson has experienced yet another setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man.
Source: Kevin Baxter on Twitter
Wed May 15, 2013 6:50 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday and will remain there for "several weeks."
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson thinks he's ready to be activated now, but the Angels have decided to slow things down in order to avoid re-injury. The reliever said he respects the team's decision but thinks he can "pitch here today and get people out. That's just how I feel." It sounds like he won't join the Halos' bullpen until sometime next month.
Source: Mike DiGiovanna on Twitter
Tue May 14, 2013 8:49 am Ryan Madson (elbow) struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Monday in his first rehab appearance with High-A Inland Empire.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson also notched the save. The veteran right-hander will likely pitch in another rehab game on Wednesday, but could be activated from the disabled list later this week. Ernesto Frieri will remain the closer for now, but Madson could work his way into the closer role down the line.
Source: Angels.mlb.com
Sun May 12, 2013 12:40 pm It's possible Ryan Madson (elbow) will be activated from the disabled list after a rehab appearance with High-A Inland Empire on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's more likely that he'll make 2-3 rehab appearances, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia wouldn't rule out the possibility of just one. "You don't want a guy down there wasting bullets if he's ready," Scioscia said. "He does need a little work, but he doesn't need to be stretched out to 30 pitches." Madson threw 19 pitches in an extended spring training game Saturday, hitting 94 mph on the radar gun. He'll be eased into high-leverage situations once activated but is a good roster stash for potential saves down the line.
Source: Los Angeles Times
Wed May 8, 2013 6:12 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) believes he could be activated from the disabled list following a second rehab appearance next Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson will face hitters in extended spring training on Thursday and Saturday. Assuming that goes well, he'll then head to High-A Inland Empire for rehab appearances on Monday and Wednesday. If he doesn't have any setbacks between now and then, it sounds like he'll be in the Angels' bullpen for their May 16-19 series against the White Sox. Expect Madson to be eased into late-inning situations.
Source: Jeff Fletcher on Twitter
Tue May 7, 2013 5:41 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) will face live hitters Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Madson made it through his latest bullpen session Tuesday without feeling any discomfort in his elbow. He is hoping to join the Angels' bullpen next week but will likely work in low-leverage situations out of the gate. Ernesto Frieri should remain the closer.
Source: Jeff Fletcher on Twitter
Sun May 5, 2013 3:29 pm Ryan Madson (elbow) could begin a rehab assignment this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Angels were waiting to see how he felt Sunday after a bullpen session Saturday, and evidently he's feeling well. Madson has had to stop and start his rehab from Tommy John surgery a few times, but it appears that he's making strides again. Barring another setback, he should return sometime this month.

Harbaugh has guided the Ravens to the postseason in all four of his years as coach; by contrast, Belichick did that only once in his first four of five seasons as coach of the franchise when it was still the Cleveland Browns. For the first time under Harbaugh, Baltimore won the AFC North and got a home playoff game.
Harbaugh knows his team must push it against Belichick, the game's most successful coach since Bill Walsh and Joe Gibbs were on the sideline in their primes. The Ravens have been taught to do what they do best and dare someone to stop them. Belichick and the Patriots can be more devious — and more versatile.
While Harbaugh has been this far only once, losing to Pittsburgh for the 2008 AFC crown, Belichick makes a habit of reaching conference title games.

Scaling Villgro to Kenya (Part 1)
January 31st 2014
I land at JKIA Nairobi. As we drive through the traffic jam in the city, I can't help but ponder how much I had missed this place. After 6 months of being away, it strikes me that all I needed in life was right here in Africa; the beauty of its people, the diversity and vibrancy, the drums and dances… and the future it holds as the next economic frontier.
The primary goal of my visit was to meet potential partners to replicate our model in Africa and secondly to do a comparative study of similarities between in India and Africa. My assignment started with a visit to women enterprise groups in my rural home in the company of Paul Basil, Villgro's founding CEO. Our tour guide for the day was my mum together with her work colleagues. We were deeply moved by the resilience of these women. One particular group was composed of widows in their 60s. As each of them narrated their story, a pattern began forming. Most of them had taken their sons and daughters through school but were still struggling to fend for their grandchildren. The reason being their own children couldn't get meaningful jobs coupled with the death of their husbands that left them in a perpetual vicious cycle. What was encouraging was to see them try to make ends meet with the remaining drop of life left in them. They had enterprising projects from ground nuts processing, homemade detergents to livestock keeping. And when asked about their aspirations, most of them wished for a good house, educate their grandchildren, buy a cow or a dairy goat and live a better life. The undying hope kept them going and I thought to myself how easier it would have been if a Villgro like model existed in Kenya. Having succeeded in supporting such grassroot enterprises in India, it was time for Villgro to share its learnings with India's sister continent.
During my stay in Kenya, I also got a chance to attend Sankalp Conference in Nairobi. Sankalp in India has been dubbed the largest gathering of social entrepreneurs in the world and it was quite a surreal moment to witness it happening in my home country. This was a good indication that time was ripe for Africa to rise to the occasion though there wasn't a good representation of native Kenyan entrepreneurs in the conference. Expat entrepreneurs seemed to dominate the social enterprise space as compared to their Kenyan counterparts. This is quite the opposite in India where Indians have taken a lead in innovations that address social problems. Expat entrepreneurs bring a good mix to the Kenyan ecosystem but locals should not be left behind. Some of the innovative ideas awarded at the ceremony Sankalp included a company that manufactured fencing post and construction materials from recyclable waste. Another interesting enterprise to be awarded was Prasoya Kenya Ltd. Prasoya makes fortified foods with high nutrition values, an intervention that seeks to address hunger and malnutrition in the continent.
As I pen off, I would like to mention that am preparing myself for a re-entry to Kenya in June. There is so much Africa can learn from India and am humbled to be playing a role in it. India-Africa is a connection I want to maintain and will forever treasure the friends I made especially with my fellow fellows at Villgro.
Wilfred has worked in the tech startup scene for almost two years now, both in Jordan and Kenya. He has joined Villgro as a Fellow (2013- 14) and is working with Villgro's Scale initiative.
