REVENUE SHARING SITES (July 2016)
What You Need to Know About Revenue Sharing Programs
There are several distinct versions of "revenue sharing". For instance, revenue sharing is commonly used as an incentive program by small businesses who pay their associates or partners a reward based on a pre-determined percentage for referring prospects who convert into clients. In other cases, revenue sharing is utilized to disperse profits connected to a business alliance. Revenue sharing in relation to internet marketing, also referred to as "cost of sale", is extremely popular today.
In this rev share program example, the cost of advertising is based on the earnings generated, resulting from the advertisement itself. A growing number of internet marketers are now looking into a variety of rev share possibilities to earn extra cash. If you do your research and find the right program, you can actually make a significant amount of money with minimum effort with rev sharing programs. Once you've taken the time to find the right revenue sharing program and understand how it works and "work" the program, it's really easy to make money.
To help you get started, check out the top revenue sharing sites of 2016:
Traffic Monsoon, founded by Charles Scoville in October 2014, has more than 3 million members (as of June 2016). What most users like about this site is that it gathers several advertising services under one umbrella so to speak, including traffic exchange, PTC (Paid to Click), paid advertising and revenue sharing services. Not all of the registered members are actually paid members nor do all of them use the site for profit sharing. It's a "pick and choose" kind of experience where you can simply use which service appeals to you and experiment with all services as you see fit. No membership fee in most cases. A sharing position will cost you $50 and with the mature rate of $55. This revenue sharing platform is considered one of the best of 2015 due in part to its rapid growth rate and based on the fact that it's one of the safest and most sustainable rev sharing sites.

Great associates. Expedited my service and vert professional
AC was going in and out on the truck. Should look at freon recharge. Pasanger door had a hard time closing. Staff was fun to interact with and will definitely be back in the future. Very clean and comfortable store front. Great job.
Everything was excellent. I was in and out in only a few minutes with my reservation. The manager Danny was very friendly and helpful. Well above all my expectations.
thanks again! Our second time!
Keep up the good work
Great costumer service
They are good
Keep doing what you are doing. Everything is great.
I reserved a trailer for pick up at the Bearrs location in Tampa. When we arrived there were no trailers and the associate was rude, didn't want to assist us find another pick up location.
I called the 800 number and they told me to go pick up a trailer on N. Florida Ave. When we got there, they had no trailers in the size I reserved and we were unable to use the one they offered because it was too big for the area we were going.
The 56th Street location was our 3rd stop. The whole experience put us 1.5 hours behind schedule. We drove from Jacksonville to Tampa to help our daughter move.
The employee at the N. Florida Ave location was helpful, as was the employee at the 56th St location.
The entire experience was extremely frustrating though.
The people were nice. I had no issues.
I was supposed to have an appliance dolly & furniture dolly and it was not in the truck and I didn't realize it until I got to my destination to begin the move & it was too far to go back for it. They didn't walk through the truck and make sure everything was ok.
The service was really good.
Something was wrong with the truck almost like it didn't want to stop Like the transmission was slipping.
Great customer service and they did not mine that I came an hour early
Not a thing! thank you
Great customer service! Easy to reserve, pick up and drop off

Truck was dirty, had clearly never been cleaned on the inside. M

Tea Party Seriously Racist?
An NPR executive was caught on camera lambasting the Tea Party as "seriously racist" and claiming that liberals might be, as a whole, more educated than conservatives.
The comments from Ron Schiller, a senior executive at NPR and president of the NPR Foundation, were made during a meeting with two people posing as members of a fictitious Muslim organization. The two activists, who recorded the February meeting on hidden camera.
The Tea Party Patriots slammed NPR for the Schiller comments Tuesday, calling on Congress to de-fund the radio network in light of the remarks.
"The Tea Party Seriously Racist is another lie by the left. I join the Tea Party Patriots and all fair-minded Americans in demanding that Congress immediately stop all funding of National Public Radio. It is time for American taxpayers to stop funding progressive organizations such as NPR, ACORN and public employee labor unions. It is absurd for the taxpayers to continue funding organizations which are so clearly biased. These organizations receive this public funding – which amounts to billions of dollars annually – because they are part of the political infrastructure which perpetually supports the Democratic Party and it must stop now. I urge all readers who share this position to Join Us in pushing back against this irresponsible and structurally biased funding."
It was no huge surprise that Schiller has since announced he is leaving NPR to join the Aspen Institute in Colorado. NPR officials, in their typical mode of dishonesty, said there is "no connection" between the video of his comments and his departure.
During the secretly recorded meeting, Schiller lamented how the Republican Party had been hijacked by the Tea Party. "The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved with people's personal lives," he said. Schiller described that movement as "white, middle America, gun-toting," and added: "They're seriously racist people." Schiller went on to lament what he called an "anti-intellectual" component of the Republican Party. "Liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives," he said.
As is their typical manner of dealing with affairs when they are exposed as the ultra-liberal organization they are, put out a statement condemning the comments, while noting that Schiller is leaving the company. Of course, as usual, this maneuver came after the video was released, exposing them for what they are: an extreme liberal broadcasting concern that exists via taxpayer funding. "We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for," the statement said, distorting the truth; this is exactly what NPR stands for.
The video was released by James O'Keefe, the conservative activist best known for bringing down ACORN by producing undercover videos that showed employees with the community advocacy group ACORN helping a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.
"Mr. Schiller's latest comments provoke a larger question - how long will we, as a nation, be willing to tolerate the arrogance of the self-appointed ruling elite?" Tea Party Patriots coordinator Jenny Beth Martin
Ironically, National Public Radio CEO Vivian Schiller delivered a speech Monday – prior to the release of the video – in which she rejected claims of bias at NPR. Nobody bought it, but the release of this video to completely discredit her Monday speech is fortuitous. Readers may remember her as the NPR executive who wrongfully fired former NPR correspondent Juan Williams because she didn't approve of a personal opinion Williams expressed several months ago.

(March 4, 2011)--For a spring break closer to home, the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures will offer an excellent opportunity for family fun, entertainment and discovery on the 1800s Texas frontier. From March 14 to March 18, the museum will host "Spring Break on the Back 40/Walking with Texans: On the Pioneer Trail" -- programming to experience early Texas by getting hands-on with the tools and trades of the era.
"Spring Break on the Back 40" features five replica frontier structures: a barn, a fort, a one-room schoolhouse, a log cabin and an adobe house. The museum's docents serve as guides who lead visitors through activities commonly associated with the frontier buildings such as daily chores, vegetable gardening and homemade crafts at the log cabin; or map reading, bugle calls and flag etiquette at the fort.
This year, the Back 40 program with be supplemented with a more in-depth educational opportunity, "Walking with Texans: On the Pioneer Trail." The structured activity for grades K-6 features expert instructors who guide participants as they plant seeds, milk a cow, churn butter, make adobe brick, cook tortillas, learn how to march, and help prepare a typical buffalo soldier meal using a Dutch oven.
"Walking with Texans" is 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The classes are limited to 20 pre-registered participants each. Registration is $15 per session, $13 for museum members (with a $10 discount if enrolled for the entire week). Registration includes regular admission to the museum.
The Institute of Texan Cultures is on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus, 801 E. Durango Blvd., a short distance from the Alamo and the River Walk. Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Saturday; noon-5 p.m., Sunday. Regular admission is $8 for adults (ages 12-64); $7 for seniors (ages 65+); $6 for children (ages 3-11); free with membership, UTSA or Alamo Colleges identification.
For more information, call 210-458-2300 or visit TexanCultures.com.
The Institute of Texan Cultures is a forum for the understanding and appreciation of Texas and Texans through research, collections, exhibits and programs. The museum strives to become the nation's premier institution of contemporary cultural and ethnic studies focusing on Texans and the diverse cultural communities that make Texas what it is.

You could be right. But it also looks miscast to me.
I really don't think not previewing it in small markets had any effect. It was a comedy marketed as a family film, but had a PG-13 rating. They needed to decide if it was a fun family film, or a parody of the show with adult humor. The film they made was caught in the middle and the poor marketing plan didn't help it.

Pure Sex based on 0 ratings. 9 reviews.
Great read! Only thing that bothers me is the incorrect terminology...a kitchen area in a cabin of a boat is called a galley. A bathroom in a boat is called a head.
I have heard so many good things about this book and only read a teaser that I'm getting it ASAP. The title may fool you but all three stories have a plot to follow and enough heat for you to need cold water!
This book is hot enough to come with a warning on the back cover, for good reason. It sizzles from the first page to the last.***** THE BET by Lucinda Betts - Zoe Lauterbon is determined to get the promotion that is up for grabs at the investment firm she works for. She has worked impossibly hard and meets all requirements, but unfortunately, so has co-worker Phillip Kingdom. Phillip suggests a friendly bet with Zoe as to who will get the promotion ¿ his bonus to her if she is promoted versus Zoe being his sex slave for twenty-four hours should he get the promotion ¿ she agrees. The ¿good old boy¿ mentality of their company all but guarantees Phillip the win. After the two spend their twenty-four hours together, a very heated day and night, Zoe begins to think that maybe she didn¿t lose after all.***** Phillip and Zoe are well-written as competitive co-workers with an attraction to each other, but neither could have guessed just how that competition would play out when they left the office.***** SLOW HAND by Bonnie Edwards - When Teri Branton finds herself at the altar without a groom, she decides to take their pleasure cruise honeymoon by herself. When she sees Captain Jared McKay, she begins to think that this trip just might be a pleasure cruise after all, especially without her cheater of a fiancé! From the first time Jared touched her, she felt an undeniable energy between them, one that deserves a closer, thorough, hands-on investigation. When Jared first spies Teri making her way alone onto his boat, he assumes that her groom can¿t be far behind. When he discovers that she has boarded his boat intending to take the cruise alone, his interest is peaked. Once he touches her and they both feel an unmistakable ¿zing¿ he wonders about the McKay family curse. Supposedly this zing is present from the first moment you touch your one true love. Despite the obvious attraction, Jared was burned in a prior relationship and is wary of taking the chance on a romantic future with Teri.***** The romance between Teri and Jared sizzles from the beginning, and is very sweet. They are just plain nice, and so perfect for each other readers will be rooting for them to admit their true feelings for each other and take a chance on love.***** THE CRIB by Sasha White - Private Investigator Alexis ¿Lexy¿ Signorino has come back home to find a killer. A member of Lexy¿s family has been falsely accused and she is determined to prove his innocence, going undercover as a waitress in the family bar. When Devon Kaye becomes a part of that investigation, Lexy can¿t help but wonder whether their heated attraction is something that she should fear or embrace. When the real killer is exposed and Lexy learns that Devon isn¿t who she thought, she feels betrayed. Will she be able to put past hurts and heartache in the past and start living her life for herself?***** This story is written first person, typically not my first choice, but it is excellently written, with an abundance of edge and grit, not your typical ¿boy meets girl¿ romance. Although Ms. White¿s story doesn¿t have the expected ¿happily-ever-after¿ ending, there is a hint of something more between the characters and I would very much like to read more of these characters and a continuation of their story.***** This is an incredibly erotic anthology with stories ranging from sassy and sexy to down and dirty. It¿s a book you won¿t want to miss if you enjoy and appreciate sensually charged romance. COURTESY LAURIE/ROMANCE JUNKIES
I just finished PURE SEX, and it rocked. In 'The Bet,' by Lucinda Betts the flirty dialog was outstanding. In every great romance, there's that dangerous falling-in-love stage, and Betts delivers that with heart-pumping precision. I don't get to read enough of that. 'Slow Hand,' by Bonnie White is a dreamy story of unabashed romance. The author delivers on a tried-and-true theme. In 'The Crib,' by Sasha White, the sex is deliciously dirty. The heroine lives the sex life I like to imagine but would never dare. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd pick Lucinda Bett's story, but they all rock¿there isn't a disappointing story in this bunch.

The ultimate public-private partnership
Bigelow, NASA now working together on space hotel
By George Knapp
When a tiny, odd-shaped rocket contraption dubbed SpaceShipOne floated down to the Mojave Desert last month after a 62-mile-high jaunt into space, it was a milestone in the commercial development of the wild blue yonder. Aviation wizard Burt Rutan, the designer of SpaceShipOne, was proud to have achieved space flight without accepting any government dollars. Las Vegas businessman Bob Bigelow can relate.
A mere five years ago, Bigelow, owner of the Budget Suites of America hotel chain, announced his intention to get into the space race. Not many people paid attention, or gave him much of a chance. But 16 months from now, Bigelow's first creation is scheduled for blast-off into a low orbit above the earth. If it works as planned, the development of space will never be the same.
It shouldn't be a surprise that Bigelow received a VIP invitation to the debut of SpaceShipOne. He not only knows Burt Rutan well, but knows that the future of Bigelow Aerospace may be inextricably linked to the success of people like Rutan. Rutan and 25 other groups around the world are competing for the X Prize, a $10 million award that will go to the first team to build a private, reusable spaceship. Assuming that some of these spacecraft really do work, they will need someplace to go once they get into orbit. That's where Bigelow comes in.
The NASA turnaround
Few journalists have been allowed inside the secure confines of the 50-acre "space campus" Bigelow Aerospace has built in North Las Vegas, and with good reason. Bigelow has long shunned any kind of publicity for himself, and since he is investing up to $500 million of his personal fortune into the aerospace company, he's reluctant to give away too much information to potential competitors. It's the same reason his facility is surrounded by fences, gates, cameras and an imposing security force made up of ex-military types.
"Now, though, it may be time to talk," Bigelow told the Mercury. "NASA thinks so too."
Bigelow's new relationship with NASA represents a stunning turnaround since this newspaper first visited the aerospace plant almost two years ago. At that time, Bigelow had little good to say about NASA. He accused the government's space agency of being an impediment to the commercial development of space, and delivered a blistering indictment of NASA's many failures. That was then. Now, it appears, NASA has taken many of Bigelow's criticisms to heart.
"Business as usual isn't going to work," said NASA chief Sean O'Keefe in early May. O'Keefe told a presidential commission that NASA would have to undergo a complete transformation, including a cultural makeover, if Americans are ever going to achieve a permanent presence in space, including possible missions to Mars and the moon. A key part of the new strategy is the reliance on private companies to do much of the work, but without NASA's typically bloated contracts.
Bigelow has not only buried the hatchet with the space agency, he finds himself in partnership with NASA. Bigelow Aerospace has signed three "Space Act Agreements" with NASA. These agreements provide for an ongoing exchange of personnel and technology, the joint testing of Bigelow projects at NASA facilities, and the transfer of NASA patents to Bigelow.
"NASA has hitched its wagon to us," Bigelow says. "They're here every other week now because this is the technology that they will depend on in the future."
Bigelow Aerospace is pursuing what it hopes will become the building block of all future space stations, near-Earth outposts and long-range missions. It's an inflatable module that is likely to become the space habitat of the future. NASA had its own inflatable habitat program called Transhab, but the program was canceled years ago because of budget problems and technical challenges. Bigelow picked up where NASA left off and in just a few years has taken the technology far beyond the government's original program.
"If we're going to get to Mars or go back to the moon within our lifetimes, it's going to be this technology," said NASA's Glenn Miller, assistant director of engineering at Johnson Space Center, during a recent visit to Bigelow Aerospace. "In the history of the space program, we've always been limited to metallic structures and pressurized volumes, which is a problem because of the weight. It's not cheap to get it up there. Inflatable technology is much lighter and much cheaper. If we can get more up there at a cheaper price, we can open up space to commercialization and exploration. This is critical to our getting back to the moon."
A hotel in space
The key to Bigelow's success--or failure--is cost. It's always been his intention to bring tight-fisted business principles to the aerospace industry, and his inflatable habitat technology seems to epitomize that approach. Bigelow told us two years ago that if he "only" cuts the cost of space habitat in half, he will have failed. His inflatable modules need to achieve a quantum leap in cost reduction if they are going to make the impact Bigelow fully expects.
"The technology itself isn't that complicated," Bigelow says. "But we've had to reinvent the process. Instead of handing out fat contracts to all of the usual suspects, the big contractors, we're doing this on our own, looking for the best deals we can find. The big contractors have been charging NASA 50 times what something costs. They did it because they could get away with it. Not us. We haven't accepted a dime of government money."
To understand just how revolutionary Bigelow's projected cost savings might be, consider the International Space Station. By 2010, this troubled project will have cost a total of $50 billion, will be 10 years behind schedule and will contain about half of the habitable work space that had been planned, around 550 cubic meters. Just two of Bigelow's planned modules will exceed the entire work space of the ISS, but since the modules will cost around $100 million apiece, the savings become obvious. Two hundred million dollars vs. $50 billion is quite a difference, enough of a difference to entice other private companies into the new space race.
"More space at a cheaper price allows companies to do large-scale things," NASA's Miller says. "Instead of boxes, you get rooms, for experiments, for equipment, for manufacturing. The next generation of medicines, the next generation of materials and technology could all come from the zero-gravity environment. This is where people are going to make a lot of money. And that will really accelerate the science and create direct benefits for humans on Earth."
One of Bigelow's stated goals is the development of the first space hotel. A hotel in space would mean that Burt Rutan and other companies that are working to build reusable spacecraft, perhaps as part of a future "space airline," would have someplace to take their passengers. (Bigelow and Rutan have talked about working together, according to well-placed sources.) Bigelow is thus providing his own incentive to all the resuable rocket companies to step up the pace.
While a night at the Bigelow MoonPort would certainly be more expensive than, say, a stay at Budget Suites, there is no shortage of well-heeled space enthusiasts who would be willing to pay big bucks for the adventure of a lifetime. A recent survey by an adventure travel agency found at least 10,000 people who would be willing to shell out $1 million apiece for a stay in space. Bigelow figures he can eventually get the cost of a space trip to a far more affordable level, in the $50,000-$100,000 range, which is about the cost of a really good car.
Bigelow has put a lot of thought into what space tourists would do while they're up there--everything from laser light shows on the dark side of the moon to phone calls placed to envious friends back home, to short space walks. The one attraction he doesn't like to talk about is the chance for his guests to get a little "space nookie." Since humans are inherently horny, there is no question that some space tourists would take the trip just so they could join the 62-Mile-High Club. Bigelow acknowledges this likelihood, but worries that salacious visions of space sex will detract attention from the more serious applications of his technology.
Mars or bust
Inside the Bigelow Aerospace plant, all sorts of odd experiments have played out over the past few years. Several times a year, the company puts one of its model modules to the ultimate test. Using water and air pressure, engineers stretch the modules to their absolute limits, straining them until they blow up. Considering the cost of the individual modules, it's sort of like driving a Mercedes off a cliff every time they do it.
The engineers still haven't decided what the modules will be made of. Whatever the material, it will have to be lightweight and very strong. They've already looked at everything from traditional sail fabric, like the stuff used on sailing ships, to more exotic materials such as metallic glass. Amazingly, scientists believe these lighter materials will result in space habitats that are even stronger and safer than the metal shells that have been used in every spacecraft to date.
Bigelow and his engineers believe the lightweight habitats they are building will provide better protection against dangers such as micro-meteorites and cosmic radiation than do current metallic hulls. If they are proven correct, it means his creations could become the centerpiece of a permanent base on the moon. They could also provide workspace and living quarters for a manned mission to Mars. The advantage of having crew quarters that are less cramped is more than just a matter of comfort.
"You would have a much larger area in which people could exercise. More area would allow us to build centrifuges that would reduce the effects of zero gravity on the human body," says Miller of NASA, who acknowledges that the conquest of safety concerns would make missions to Mars or the moon far more likely than they are now.
So when do we go?
When Bigelow's engineers told him they needed a high-tech valve that would serve as a key component of the life support system on board the inflatable modules, Bigelow went shopping. American aerospace giants were willing to sell him the valve at costs that ranged from $300,000 to $1 million. Bigelow found and purchased the same valve from a European company. The cost for the identical valve? A mere $5,000.
"This is pretty typical of what's wrong with the American aerospace industry and with American companies in general," Bigelow says. "Whether it's steel or automobiles or textiles, Americans have priced themselves out of the world market. Now our dominance in space technology has evaporated as well. We don't have a space shuttle or a space plane, and our American launchers are simply not affordable for the delivery of any large systems."
Bigelow was able to purchase a life support system from a German company. The complete system cost only $1.3 million. If he had purchased the same system from American companies, it would have cost in the neighborhood of $100 million, he says. It isn't hard to understand why European, Chinese and other space efforts are now eclipsing those of the United States, why commercialization of space has been stymied, and why NASA has called for a shakeup in how our nation conducts its space business.
Bigelow isn't wasting any time in getting his gear up there. His plant is building 13 models of his Genesis Pathfinder module, which is one-third the size of the full-scale Nautilus, the model that could become the standard habitat for future space programs. The first Genesis model is scheduled for a launch into space in November 2005. Bigelow signed a contract with Space X, a private rocket company in California.
A second launch of a Pathfinder is slated for April 2006. For that launch, Bigelow signed an agreement with the Russians. The company, Kosmotras, plans to use converted Russian SS-18 missiles (minus their nuclear warheads) to carry payloads into space. Kosmotros could carry as many as six Pathfinders into space--if Bigelow receives approval from the U.S. State Department.
If everything works as planned, and no unforeseen engineering problems are discovered with Pathfinder, the first Genesis module will be sent up in late 2008. From there, it's all downhill...or is that uphill?
Bigelow admits that many people thought he was a bit goofy to pour his money into a project that is, to put it mildy, a longshot. Bigelow himself figures he has only a 50-50 chance of ever getting his money back, let alone of making a profit. But of course, it is his money, and since his is not a publicly traded corporation, the only stockholder he needs to answer to is Mrs. Bigelow. So far, she's on board.
Sometime later this year or early next year, the lid of secrecy over Bigelow Aerospace will be lifted for good. The company plans to open up its plant for regular tours by local science students. When that happens, local residents will begin to realize that what is happening at the space campus in North Las Vegas could end up changing human history in ways that we can barely imagine.
"We are definitely moving in the same direction and on a parallel path with Bob," says NASA's Miller. "He's come a long way in a short time and we want to make sure that he succeeds. We're building real hardware here and it's destined for space."

Cleveland completed a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers just prior to making the deal with Andersen in order to make things work under the salary cap
This is false. Cavs could've signed Birdman at any time. Trading away Kaun had no bearing on the Cavs ability to sign Birdman. It'll certainly save Dan Gilbert some luxury tax money, which is good because Kaun is not worth a roster spot, but still didn't stop us from signing Birdman.
I've given up hope that the average NBA reporter will understand the salary cap, but when respected reporters like Woj can't even be bothered to know the rules, we've got issues.


text: Surely, this is the age of fact disguised as fiction in Indian writing in English. When Arundhati Roy dedicated The God of Small Things to her mother, "who taught me to say 'excuse me' before interrupting her in public" — a line repeated in the novel — Roy let the reader know that her protagonists Rahel and Estha had more to share with herself and her brother than fiction often allows. In Tony D'Souza's The Konkans, the origins of narrator Francisco D'Sai pointedly mirror the mixed heritage of the author, the Chicago-raised son of an Indian father and American mother. Francisco's tale builds on the dual perspectives of his own father, Lawrence — propelled by family industry and ambition first to a white-collar job in Bombay and eventually out of "the noise, the crowd, the filth" of India — and his American mother, Denise, enraptured by her own view of India as exotic spectacle and spiritual destination. Their uneasy compromise of visions takes them back to an America Denise cannot see as home, and brings to join them Lawrence's two brothers, Sam and Lesley, with results that put Lawrence and Denise's bond into question. The resulting family saga plays out in a sprawling fashion, suggestive of the large history to be discovered within a small community. The Konkans of the title are a close-knit Catholic community in India, who, as a character in the book recounts, "had been waiting" for the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama "since the beginning of time" — a mythic perspective containing a typical mixture of truth and semi-truth. While the Konkans indeed converted to Christianity, the process was brutal, and involved outlawing Hindu sacred texts, music, clothing, and foods. In The Konkans, D'Souza enmeshes the complexities of the historical with the urgency of the personal, to fashion a courageous story of identity and the timelessness of love. –

To the Editor:
Here we report a case of an HCV positive patient treated successfully with antiviral therapy who subsequently donated a kidney to an HCV negative recipient without viral transmission. The safety of this approach relies on the fact that sustained virological response (SVR) usually means lack of viral presence in the liver and other organs [1]. This rationale served to get approval from our Institution Ethics Committee as well as informed consent from both donor and recipient. The patient was a 49-year-old male diagnosed with IgA nephropathy. When glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 20 mL/min, options for renal replacement therapy, including preemptive living-donor kidney transplantation, were given to him. His wife was candidate for living donation. She was a 49-year-old female with antecedent of blood transfusion in 1986 during open myomectomy. However, chronic hepatitis C virus infection was diagnosed. She had mild elevation of liver enzymes and normal ultrasound examination. The Fibroscan® liver ultrasound transient elastography value was 8.9 kPa (moderate fibrosis). HCV was genotype 3, and viral load was 65 610 UI/mL. A 24-week peginterferon alfa (180 g/week sc) and ribavirin (800 mg/day po) treatment was performed with negative viral load after 4 weeks. SVR as well as normalization of liver enzymes was achieved. Therefore, 1 year after antiviral treatment was finished we decided to proceed with laparoscopic nephrectomy and living donor kidney transplantation. At this time, recipient GFR was 10 mL/min.
Kidney transplantation was performed uneventfully for donor and recipient. The recipient received induction immunosuppression based on basiliximab, tacrolimus, mofetil mycophenolate and early steroid discontinuation. There was rapid and full recovery of renal function. Six-month protocol kidney allograft biopsy was normal. Liver enzymes remained within the normal range during the 2-year follow-up. HCV viral load monitoring at Days 7, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 as well as 1 and 2 years after transplantation was always negative. At last follow-up, GFR was higher than 60 mL/min without proteinuria (0.05 g/day) and microhematuria. Likewise, donor follow-up showed SVR, normal liver enzymes and normal renal function without hypertension, proteinuria (0.07 g/day) or microhematuria.
Active HCV in the donor is considered a contraindication to living donation since the risk of HCV transmission approaches 100% if transplanted into a HCV negative recipient. In our kidney donor, HCV infection showed some predictors of treatment response (genotype 3 and low viral load) [2]. Therefore, after confirmation of achieving SVR we proceeded with donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation assuming that, in this case, occult HCV infection was unlikely. Occult HCV infection is defined as the presence of HCV RNA in the liver or peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HCV RNA negative patients [3]. However, its clinical significance is rather controversial [4]. On the other hand, while one study reported 2% of detectable hepatic HCV RNA after SVR [5], there is strong evidence that liver HCV RNA remains negative in the long term [1]. Therefore, although the likelihood of HCV transmission in our case seems very low, we cannot completely exclude HCV transmission without having assessed HCV RNA in the donor kidney. This is the first case reported in the literature showing that chronic HCV infection does not preclude kidney living donation to a HCV negative recipient if viral clearance is achieved. Although our observation may increase the chances for candidates for living donor kidney transplantation, prospective studies that incorporate monitoring of all necessary virological donor and recipient parameters are needed to confirm the safety of this approach.

I've encountered a seemingly bizarre issue, and was wondering if anyone is able to shed a light.
I created a simple controller two levels down from the traditional /application/controllers/ directory and I'm seeing a CI-generated 404 when hitting said controller.
To elaborate, my directory structure is as follows: /ci/application/controllers/dir1/dir2/myfile.php
The file itself has a simple function with an echo statement. When I move said file up one level such that it is located in: /ci/application/controllers/dir1/myfile.php
It works.
I've tried changing the name of the "dir2" directory in the example above, the name of the controller, the names of the functions within the controller -- to no avail. I'm able to hit the same php file without going through the Code Igniter framework, and I'm on a Windows machine working normally so I can't imagine this to be a permissions-related issue.
I'm led to think that CI simply isn't willing to go into the controllers directory more than one level. Is this possible, or am I missing something?
