Many of the unemployed are unemployed because they WANT to be unemployed! Why get up each morning and go to work when you can sit at home and watch TV while the rest of us pay them 99 weeks of unemployment, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid,.... Many of these people are simply LAZY! Otherwise, they'd be starting their own businesses, selling apples on the corner, going back to school, applying for every job that is in the newspaper regardless of what it pays, going door-to-door in businesses looking for jobs that match their skills--instead they're waiting for "a job in management"! Until people are starving, we will always have an unemployment problem.

How my kids helped me making better my job.
How did they?
Reinventing it as they reinvent every possible use of any object: a paper is not a paper, but a flag; a pencil is not a pencil, but a laser beam; and a battery is not just a light, but a tool essential to discover the monsters in the darkness.
Fantasy empowers their life. Why fantasy cannot empower my business too?
The risk one person like me - one man web marketing agency - is to fall in sad mechanicism. One pitch/quotes after the other, many with quite similar issues. The link building, that too can tend to be industrialized.
Luckily there are excellent tools (SEOmoz Pro Tools, Raven, Ontolo), that helps exactly in solving all the mechanical part of the SEO discipline.
With all that time saved, what to do? Look for other clients, just looking for money?
I don't think that is the right answer.
I believe that with all that time saved thanks to all the tools, an SEO/Web Marketer can finally have a second honeymoon with a job that could have start to feel sterile.
How? Pointing to the real quality in the job using fantasy.
When I say "using fantasy", I mean "thinking out of the box" and do like the children do, inventing a story from nothing, reinventing the meaning of things.
Not only this attitude is able to make you feel again in love with your job, to make you feel again creative and just plain happy with what you're doing, but also it is a sure way to offer a great service to your clients. That doesn't mean you will succeed always, but also in that case your client will still congratulate with you, still desiring to work with you and to find a way to the online success with your guidance.

QR Codes Embedded into Sidewalk to provide tourist information.
Rio De Janeiro has embedded QR codes into their sidewalks to help tourists learn more about the city and more easily get to where they are going. The codes have been embedded into the city's traditional mosaic sidewalks in the form of black and white tiles. When the tiles are scanned with a smartphone, a local map and information is provided to the user in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Brazil plans to embed roughly 30 QR codes at beaches, vistas and various historic sites around the city, helping Rio's two million foreign visitors each year get around.

Living in the light of humility, kindness and compassion is the deep lesson and timeless inspiration of Bodhi Day. When we celebrate Bodhi Day this year I hope that we can celebrate it as a 21st century holiday, embracing the full weight of Buddhism's long history without being limited by it.
What I have experienced over time has not always been pleasant, but more and more I am able to be with what is and to use skillful means to make choices that allow me to align with myself and move closer to an unshakable freedom.
Bodhi Day is a Buddhist holiday that commemorates the day that the Buddha achieved enlightenment, translated as bodhi in Sanskrit or Pali. Bodhi Day i...
Today, all over the world, Zen Buddhists are celebrating the day of the Buddha's enlightenment. Known in Japan as "Rohatsu," this Bodhi Day marks the defining event in the legend of Shakyamuni Buddha: his enlightenment experience.

What shall we do about the elderly dying with dementia, losing who they are — how do we help them "die well"?
My mom is at the end stage. She is losing her abilities to speak, to eat. How do I help her? Is it okay to talk about dying with her? I do read to her, I tell her I love her, I see her as often as I can at her long-term care home. But as she declines, I am not sure how to help her "die well."
I have had a great sense of healing in my time with her in this stage of life, but as I see her becoming less and less connected I am not sure what to do. How can I help her at this stage? Perhaps just being there, holding her hand, reading, I am not sure. How do we address her dying? Is it okay to talk about it? I don't want her to die without being at peace about it.
by Emily Rapp, guest contributor
"You feel your obligation to a child when you have seen it and held it. Any human face is a claim on you, because you can't help but understand the singularity of it, the courage and loneliness of it. But this is truest of the face of an infant. I consider that to be one kind of vision, as mystical as any." ~from Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
I woke up and held my son for a long, long time. I'd been gone for three days at the National Tay-Sachs and Allied Disorders Family Conference and had missed him terribly. Driving through Boston on the way to the airport, I told my friend Kate that it was so difficult, so impossible even, so disastrous to imagine feeling that way forever. The missing, the ache.
We agreed that, say what you will about heaven or where we go or visions of the afterlife, the truth about someone being dead is that they're gone from this life, right now, here on earth, with you. That particular person has been removed from your particular life. That's the gut punch and there is no balm for that, no platitude, no prayer, and, I would argue, no belief even that will fix it. My son will be dead within three years and there's nothing I can do about it.

There's a lot of non-news behind the announcement that retailers this week have the option of adding surcharges on some credit card purchases. Our story ran this morning at Spokesman.com.
The quick answer: No one we know is going to be the first company to announce they are adding surcharges. Every retailer who accepts credit cards is already factoring that cost into the price. Hence, few will try to justify going to the trouble of now adding a formal surcharge for the "swipe fee"(the percent of the purchase the retailer pays to the credit card firm).
The New York Times also listed reasons why retailers won't be adding the charges.
If anyone sees a surcharge out there, please send us a photo. We'll send a $5 coffee card to anyone who can show an actual instance of a retailer adding a surcharge. We'll send out three cards to the first three submitters.
The photo has to show the required sign posted at the register that explains the retailer now is adding the charge. If you find a surcharge on a website, we'll accept a screen grab as proof.
Restrictions: Has to be in any of the following states: Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho or Montana.
The first three submissions must be from three different stores and the submissions have to be by three different readers.
Send your images to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please keep it civil. Don't post comments that are obscene, defamatory, threatening, off-topic, an infringement of copyright or an invasion of privacy. Read our forum standards and community guidelines.

- MFG # 4307-c446-180
- L-tyrosine is one of the amino acids that produce proteins. It is typically used as an appetite suppressant and to treat symptoms caused by chronic fatigue syndrome and depression—all relating issues typically caused by poor thyroid health.

Concerned about your thyroid health? Whether you're experiencing fatigue' mood swings' or weight issues' poor thyroid health could be a contributing factor. That's why Nutritional Frontiers' Iodine Plus may be just what you need to help alleviate certain symptoms of this condition.
Most thyroid issues are result of a lack of production of the T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) receptors' which are responsible for regulating your metabolism.

This is what causes your thyroid tissue to enlarge and can potentially lead to thyroid disease.

Russian team visits HAL's Sukhoi facility
A high-level Russian military aircraft manufacturers' delegation visited the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighters production and overhauling facility of state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) in Maharashtra's Nasik this week, the HAL said Friday.
"The delegation had a firsthand account of our facilities set up to roll out Sukhois (Su30 MKI) under licensed production from Russian aerospace majors," HAL chairman R.K. Tyagi said in a statement here.
The Su-30 MKI, which is the main striking force of Indian Air Force (IAF) is manufactured at the defence behemoth's five divisions - at Nasik, Koraput in Odisha, Hyderabad and Lucknow and Korwa in Uttar Pradesh.
"We have delivered 134 Su-30 fighters to IAF so far producing them from raw material phase and incorporating 43,000 components for the airframe and 9,600 accessories," Tyagi said.
As per the multi-billion dollar contract, HAL makes 72 percent of the fighter's components, absorbing the technology fully.
The delegation, headed by United Aircraft Corporation president Mikhail A. Pogosyan, had representatives from Rosoboronexport Irkut Corporation, RAC-MiG and Ural Optical & Mechanical plant.
Pogosyan expressed confidence that Russian and Indian specialists would achieve the tasks set for manufacturing the Su-30 fleet.
"The Su-30MKI manufacturing programme is an example of synergy between public and private partnership, as various assemblies, sub-assemblies and components are outsourced to vendors across India," Pogosyan said during the visit.
The delegation also participated in the 31st session of the Indo-Russian sub-group on aviation, a biennial event, held to discuss issues related to manufacture, repair and overhaul of aircraft, aero engines and accessories under the aegis of Indo-Russian inter-governmental commission on military technical cooperation.
"The session focused on improving serviceability of the fleet and decided to continue activities initiated in this direction with the tripartite committees formed with representatives from HAL, IAF and Russian manufacturers," the statement added.

RCFile - OCFile - Parquet: Storing Big Data With Hive
Christian Prokopp explaining the advantages of the RCFile storage:
The state-of-the-art solution for Hive is the RCFile. The format has been co-developed by Facebook, which is running the largest Hadoop and Hive installation in the world. RCFile has been adopted by the Hive and Pig projects as the core format for table like data storage. The goal of the format development was "(1) fast data loading, (2) fast query processing, (3) highly efficient storage space utilization, and (4) strong adaptivity to highly dynamic workload patterns," as can be seen in this PDF from the development teams.
- is there any connection between the RCFile and Parquet the new columnar storage format? At first glance, the goals of the two are pretty similar.
- It looks like there's already a new format that will supersede RCFile: ORC Files. Are all these 3 approaches independent of each other? If yes, then would are the pros and cons of each of them?

Josh Harrison got the start in left field and also had a double from his leadoff spot, but as you can read in the boxscore below struck out three times.

Fans get their chance to see all three versions of Ian Fleming's classic Casino Royale - the first James Bond novel - as part of our Bond season on Sky Movies.
We'll be showing Daniel Craig's classic 2006 debut, the 1967 parody starring David Niven and 007's first screen appearance in the TV version of Casino Royale featuing Barry Nelson as "Jimmy" Bond.
Going back to basics, Craig's Bond had just earned his licence to kill when he came up against Mads Mikkelsen's terrorist financier Le Chiffre across the gaming tables.
The Aston Martins, compliant girls and vodka-martinis were all present and politically incorrect...but it was Craig's cunning brute of a Bond that got the world's most successful movie franchise back on track.
In 1967, Bond's first big screen incarnation arrived in the era of flower power and featured the urbane David Niven as Sir James Bond 007. Forced out of retirement to investigate the deaths of international spies, he finds himself embroiled in a life-or-death struggle with the mysterious Dr Noah (Woody Allen).
Most intriguing is the chance to see the 1954 TV version of Casino Royale, starring Barry Nelson (who would later appear in The Shining) as an American Bond.
Originally broadcast live on television, it remained lost in the archives for almost thirty years.

How to save money as a freelancer
For my entire freelancing career, I have been horrible at saving money. Without a regular paycheck, it's very hard to get yourself into a routine, and I ended up never saving a dime.
But this year, I figured out a way that has been working great for me. I turned it into a game.
You know that arcade game where you hit the button to stop a light between two lines, then win a prize? Well, in this game I have to keep my checking account balance between two lines. The minimum I have to keep in my account to avoid international ATM fees is $2000. So that's line #1. I decided the maximum I wanted on hand for spending at any given time is $3000. Line #2.
If I go over 3000, I transfer the extra money into my savings, which helps me set money aside for the future. But if I get to close to $2000, that means I either have to earn some more money or start spending less. And that keeps me within my means.
It's worked out pretty great for me so far. (your high and low numbers may vary)

The Georgia Men's basketball team hosts its only exhibition contest of the 2013-14 season Monday when the Bulldogs entertain UNC-Pembroke at Stegeman Coliseum. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m. and admission is free.
The Braves, a Division II school and member of the Peach Belt Conference, spent last week traveling through Tobacco Road for a pair of exhibition games. They dropped a 96-85 decision
Oct. 30 at N.C. State before losing at North Carolina 82-63 two nights later.
Georgia started pre-season practice on Friday, Sept. 27. Since then the Bulldogs have staged a series of intrasquad workouts, as well as a closed scrimmage recently against Mercer. After Monday's exhibition game, Georgia will tip off the season in earnest this Friday night with a home contest against Wofford. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m.
This time a year ago, Georgia basketball coach Mark Fox looked at his roster for the 2013 season with eager anticipation. "This team could be together for a couple of years," he said.
Alas, his vision did not materialize. The Bulldogs' star guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played his sophomore season so well that the NBA came calling. And he answered.
The 2014 Bulldogs appear better equipped to withstand a significant loss to the NBA than they did the last time the Georgia sent players to the NBA. "This year we have a little more depth around us and we return more guys," Fox said. "We have more people whose natural progression would be to take on more minutes. That's a luxury we didn't have before."
A number players return to face high expectations. The upperclassmen on this 2014 Georgia roster are all capable of emerging as stars in any given game. Donte' Williams, Georgia's lone senior, is its top returning rebounder and a proven scorer as well. Nemi Djurisic has led the Bulldogs in scoring several times in his two seasons. And Marcus Thornton is another versatile and valuable player, provided his health allows him to return to top form. Add to this group a talented trio of sophomores, and the outlook for success in 2014 appears promising.
Here's a best-guess picture of the Bulldogs' personnel as they start the season:
Williams (6-9, Sr.) and Brandon Morris (6-7, So.) are the Bulldogs' two returning starters from last season. Each has displayed moments in his career that hint of a prominent role. Morris in particular has drawn praise for the quality of his off-season workouts.
Djurisic (6-8, Jr.) is another valuable piece in Georgia's collection of inside players. He ranked second behind KCP in scoring last season, despite starting only 10 games.
Thornton could be an important part of this equation in 2014. Knee problems have caused him to miss parts of the past two seasons and forced a redshirt year in 2013. At the time of his 2013 injury and surgery, Thornton was Georgia's top rebounder.
Juniors John Cannon (6-10) and Tim Dixon (6-10) should also see meaningful minutes in the frontcourt after showing improvement as sophomores.
With Caldwell-Pope coming back, the Bulldogs would have boasted one of college basketball's most promising backcourts. But with the return of Charles Mann (6-4) and Kenny Gaines (6-3) they should still be effective on the perimeter.
Though Mann started eight games as a freshman last season, he found greater prosperity as a reserve. Playing starter's minutes coming off the bench and was named to the SEC All-Freshman team by the league's coaches. Gaines proved capable of key contributions, including double-figure scoring in three conference games.
Houston Kessler (6-8, RFr.) originally signed with the Bulldogs in the spring of 2012. His redshirt season, however, enabled him to grow another inch and to sharpen a potent outside shooting stroke. He is included among the perimeter players because of his likely station at a swing position.
Native Oklahoman Juwan Parker (6-4, Fr.) signed with Georgia knowing that Caldwell-Pope stood a fair chance of returning for his junior year. Now that KCP is gone, though, he'll get an ample opportunity to earn his place in the rotation.

Commencement for the Class of 2014 will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 5, 2014, in the Lindbergh Center.
Students must meet all graduation requirements. If a student is uncertain of his/her status, they should make an appointment to meet with their counselor as soon as possible once school is in session.
Seniors will complete an order form for their cap and gown the first week of school during their Senior Business Meeting. This information will not come home with your student. Seniors will pick up their cap, gown, tassel and graduation tickets after they have completed the Senior Check-Out process in late May/early June. Caps and gowns are no longer returned, seniors keep them following commencement.
Seniors who have met all graduation requirements will receive their diploma and a copy of their final transcript in the mail at the end of June. Seniors attending summer school following graduation, will not receive their diploma or final transcript until late August. Summer school grades are not posted until staff returns in late August.
Information for seniors interested in carrying the flag of their country of birth at graduation (other than the United States) will be available in January. Seniors must be in good standing both academically and behaviorally for their application to be considered as participating in graduation is an honor and a privilege.
- Seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.667 or higher at the end of first semester will graduate with academic honors. These students will be noted for academic honors in the commencement program and will receive a gold tassel for their graduation cap to wear at the commencement ceremony.
- Seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.95 or higher at the end of first semester will graduate with academic distinction. These students will be honored at Senior Recognition Night (scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, 2014), at which time they will receive their gold rope stole to be worn at the commencement ceremony. They will also be noted for academic honors in the commencement program and will receive a gold tassel for their graduation cap. This event is by invitation only, which will be mailed home.
- Scholarship Night is scheduled for Wednesday, May 14, 2014. This event is by invitation only, which will be mailed home.
Each graduating senior will receive eight tickets for the commencement ceremony. Seniors will be given their graduation tickets after they have completed the Senior Check-Out process. A limited number of additional graduation tickets will be available when seniors pick up their cap and gown.
Information for seniors interested in auditioning to speak or be an emcee at graduation will be available in mid-February.
We strongly encourage parents/guardians of seniors to ensure they are signed up for the Parent Portal and have an email address listed so that they receive the weekly Parent/Guardian Newsletters, which contain important and time sensitive information.
All PSEO and early graduating seniors are responsible to stay current with pertinent information throughout the school year. As a parent/guardian of a PSEO student, it is extremely important that you are signed up for the Parent Portal and receiving the weekly newsletters as a means of staying on top of your student's senior year.
Tickets are required for seating in the Lindbergh Center. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Overflow seating will also be available in the cafeteria. Tickets are not required for overflow seating. There is no reserved seating for the ceremony.
Handicapped seating is available in the Lindbergh Center, they are not reserved seats. Staff will direct you to this area when entering the Lindbergh Center that evening. Due to the fact that there are a limited number of handicapped seats, we ask that no more than one family member is seated with a handicapped guest.
All seniors, including PSEO students and early graduates will attend a Senior Breakfast Meeting scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2014. Important information regarding graduation will be addressed at this meeting.
Senior Check-Out is tentatively scheduled to begin the week of May 5, 2014. All graduating seniors, to include PSEO students and those who have finished their graduation requirements early and are no longer attending classes at HHS, must also complete this process before receiving their cap, gown and graduation tickets. They will complete the Senior Survey, pay any outstanding fees, to include the Senior Fee, and return all textbooks.
Depending on class schedules, many seniors will not be able to check out until the day of graduation as they need to retain their textbooks to study for final exams. They will still have ample time to complete the process. A fee statement will be mailed home the week of April 28, 2014 outlining all outstanding class fines, fees, textbooks and library books for each senior.
Due to the fact that several departments are involved in the Senior Check-Out process, this will only be done during scheduled times. A copy of the Senior Check-Out process and schedule will be mailed home with the fee statement.
A senior fee of $35 is due for each student planning to participate in graduation and should be paid by Thursday, April 17, 2014. Please note that students enrolled in Free and Reduced Lunch programs are not exempt from the senior fee. Planning ahead to get this fee paid will alleviate stress for your senior as we begin the Senior Check-Out process. Checks can be made out to Hopkins High School and given to Linda Yesnes in the Main Office.
The Senior Party takes place immediately following the commencement ceremony. Please be advised that this is not a school sponsored function and is organized entirely by parents. Your co-chairs for the Class of 2014 Senior Party are Sally McNamee and Dannette Casper. You will be hearing more from them throughout the school year. All questions and concerns regarding the Senior Party should be directed to the co-chairs. Please do not call the Administrative Office as we will not have this information available. Students will be transported from the high school to the party location immediately following graduation and will return to the HHS parking lot when the party ends the next morning.
As part of the check-out process at the end of the school year, all seniors must complete their Senior Survey. The survey is the only tool used to indicate which school a senior's final transcript is to be sent to.
Please feel free to contact Linda Yesnes, administrative coordinator, at 952.988.4502 with any questions/concerns.

I am getting identical crash data. Please note the Exception codes, as shown in the OP. They are all zeroes. Does this mean it's not actually capturing the exception?
It has been over a week since I posted in this thread, with no response. Per the instructions on forum posting, I am replying to the same thread to bump it up in the forum. Could we please get someone from TS to post on this issue?
For the record, I am running 10.6.8 with the latest patches, and client v3.0.2. I could not find build information.

Why Extreme Poverty isn't Extreme Enough
Lant Pritchett, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, recently criticized the United Nations and World Bank goal of eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 for being "too extreme." Of course, Dr. Pritchett doesn't oppose eradicating poverty, but rather dislikes the focus on ending extreme poverty because it excludes the poor living on more than a $1.25 per day. As he correctly notes, there is nothing magical about this $1.25 figure, and surely the five billion people who live under $10 per day also deserve the world's attention. While I agree that there is nothing magical about the $1.25 per day line, I see value in focusing on the poorest of the very poor. And, taking things one step further, there is a particularly vulnerable subgroup within this population that warrants more attention.
What's more extreme than extreme poverty?
There is a subset of people living in extreme poverty who face social barriers in addition to their econo
mic poverty. These social barriers result in their systematic exclusion and neglect from government services, market opportunities, and foreign assistance. Common causes for this exclusion include gender, ethnicity, social status, and disability, all traits associated with poverty and lack of political voice. Trickle Up refers to this condition as "ultrapoverty".
Certainly, the international community should focus more explicitly on this intersection of poverty and marginalization rather than an arbitrary dollar-per-day figure. In addition to the systematic opportunity loss described above, the combination of economic need and social barriers creates a challenge that proves resistant to assistance designed for people that face only economic or social barriers. The nature of ultrapoverty carries with it significant implications for program design.
Still, the goal of eradicating extreme poverty is likely better for people living in ultrapoverty than a less "extreme" goal for several reasons. First, the reality that a dollar-per-day metric isn't a reliable indicator for quality of life doesn't mean it has no value as an indicator of economic poverty. NGO and government programs often fail to engage the poorest and assist instead those who are less poor. Without proactive targeting, poorer populations will remain underserved. Second, a growing number of NGOs and microfinance institutions have realized that many of their traditional programs are not capable of meeting the needs of the poorest. The goal of eradicating extreme poverty at least prompts the international community to take seriously the targeting and design of programs for the poorest and most marginalized.
Finally, the reality that the dollar-per-day metric isn't a reliable indicator for quality of life doesn't mean it has no value as a proxy for social barriers and constraints. Vulnerable populations, such as some scheduled castes in India and people with disabilities everywhere, are overrepresented amongst the poor, and there is some evidence that the deeper the economic poverty, the greater the overrepresentation.[1] Further, evidence and experience suggests that not only are such groups overrepresented amongst the poor, but also left behind by the non-profit and public sectors. The experience of indigenous women in Latin America and people with disabilities everywhere speaks to this exclusion.
Failing to Reach the Poorest and most Vulnerable
This makes sense. People living in ultrapoverty typically live in more remote rural areas and may lack the time, self-confidence, risk tolerance, or trust to show up for community meetings and engage visiting NGO or government workers. In the numbers game of global development, higher per-person costs and specialized interventions are bad business. Taken all together, the evidence and experience at hand suggests that people identified as living on less than a $1.25 per day are more likely to face significant social barriers and to be underserved by development programs. If you want to help the most marginalized and excluded, identifying the poorest is a good way to start.[2]
In a perfect world, I, like Dr. Pritchett, would prefer a goal less focused on the dollar-per-day figure, and more focused on the populations that are traditionally marginalized and excluded. My primary concern is that people living in ultrapoverty not again be left off the agenda. Sadly, we have little reason to believe development programs will make the extra effort without some impetus.
In summary, yes the $1.25 target is arbitrary and an imperfect proxy for economic need and social barriers. Still the eradication of extreme poverty requires the international community to engage populations it has often neglected. If we are to follow Dr. Pritchett's lead and instead shift our attention upward to higher living standards, I fear that once again the poorest and most vulnerable will be left behind.
[1] I would note that this subject would benefit from greater academic attention. Trickle Up is actually in the midst of a consultation process in the areas where we work to better understand the relationship of poverty and social constraints and we look forward to sharing our findings.
[2] Of course, it is not perfect. Measuring the economic poverty of people with disabilities, for example, can be difficult and contentious.
Remembering Peter Workman
Trickle Up lost a good friend this week. Peter Workman, a generous donor since 2004, died of brain cancer at the age of 74.
We often tell the stories of Trickle Up participants but rarely share the stories of those who make our work possible. So I want to take a moment to tell you about Peter, whom I first met in 2001 when his company published my wife's book about philanthropy, "Rambam's Ladder." When I joined Trickle Up, I was delighted to see that Peter had become a supporter via an introduction from our board member Alan Patricof.
Peter was an entrepreneur who founded the highly successful Workman Publishing Co. Chances are that you may have read at least one of their books, such as "What To Expect When You are Expecting," "Brain Quest," a Sandra Boynton children's book, "Water for Elephants" or one of their dozens or calendars or cookbooks. It was always a treat to visit Peter at his office, both for the genuine interest he took in Trickle Up and his invitation to take as many books as I'd like.
Peter also was a man who cared deeply about justice and expanding opportunity for those who weren't born into it. Among the causes he supported were Goddard-Riverside Community Center, Prep for Prep, Human Rights Watch and the ACLU. The cause that was closest to his heart was David Workman Grant Program at his alma mater Deerfield Academy. In memory of his younger brother, Peter established the program to help students fund and implement their own humanitarian projects.
In October 2007, Peter invited me to come with him to Deerfield to meet with the students, talk about Trickle Up and perhaps inspire one or more to make service an important part of their lives. It was a three-hour drive each way. Peter sometimes came off as a bit of absent-minded professor, and I was a bit nervous about spending that much time with someone who had been only a casual acquaintance. The ride turned out to be a most memorable day, which he extended towards the end of the trip as we approached City Island. Unexpectedly, he pulled toward the exit lane and asked, "Want to stop for a lobster and a beer?" Even after hearing my presentation to his students and a lot of conversation during the ride to and from Deerfield, he spent most of our meal asking about Trickle Up and talking about public service.
You can read about Peter's life at: http://www.workman.com/blog/2013/04/peter-workman-10191938-472013/
Trickle Up is fortunate to have people like Peter join us in our work.
When a Single Path Diverges
"We've started using the river's water for agriculture. The river has been there forever but we didn't use it for our fields. Our Field Worker didn't give us the river, but he did give us the knowledge to use it for cultivation."
Saro Mandi
For women like Saro Mandi, who lives in Purulia District of West Bengal in India, change comes in small but meaningful increments. Her tiny plot of land once provided paddy for the family for 3 months; now with better irrigation she also grows a vegetable crop to sell for cash. A cash crop means she can invest in livestock to grow her asset base and save weekly. Weekly savings meetings bring her together with friends from her Self-Help Group–Cholagora Licher Sarna–ultrapoor women like Saro who are now making big changes in their community.
Incremental and meaningful change is the key to success in Trickle Up's program. However, not everyone is successful, and variation in performance occurs both at the individual level and between self-help groups. Understanding the reasons for variations in performance is critical to improving program design and implementation.
While individual circumstance and luck play a role, the quality of livelihood planning processes, relationships with field workers, and group dynamics all appear to be at least as important. A combination of factors are required to foster the virtuous cycles necessary for people in ultra-poverty to confront the multiple barriers they face in building sustainable livelihoods. These barriers include limited financial and productive assets along with weak social capital and limited technical skills. They also include the social and psychological legacy of livelihood strategies that are largely oriented to meeting survival needs, resulting in a low capacity to absorb risk and envisage a viable trajectory out of poverty.
When virtuous cycles are triggered participants, their fellow group members, and field workers are rewarded, building motivation and fostering close, supportive relationships and more positive outcomes. However, the opposite can also occur, and a lack of initial success can undermine motivation and de-incentivize engagement, particularly if livelihood planning processes fail to result in a full sense of ownership over activities.
"When a Single Path Diverges: Learning from Trickle Up's Livelihood Program," by Jo Sanson and Jui Gupta and published by ACCESS Development Services for the Sitaram Rao Livelihoods India Case Study Compendium 2012, explores lessons from Trickle Up's experience in Purulia through the experiences of two different groups of women: one that performed well and one that performed poorly.

Women receive weekly coaching support from Field Workers who help them think to the future, find new strategies for earning money and facilitate their progress out of poverty. Read this CGAP – Consultative Group to Assist the Poor blogpost by Janet Heisey for how we're learning more about effective coaching.
A Discussion on Why Coaching Matters for the Ultrapoor
On November 29th, 2012, Trickle Up hosted Coaching Matters: Unleashing Human Potential, a panel to help bring about new understanding of Trickle Up participants' journeys out of ultrapoverty – with the help of their coaches.
The panelists included:
- John Starks, New York Knicks Guard, 1990-1998
- Reshmi Paul, Ph.D., Executive Coach & Leadership Consultant, ghSMART
- Janet Heisey, Director, Technical & Strategic Alliances, Trickle Up
- Bill Abrams, President, Trickle Up (Moderator)
As Knicks great John Starks said, "Coaches are vital… you may not be putting the coaching label on it, but every day we are coached by people around us." He would not have made it in the NBA if mentors like his brother or Pat Riley hadn't seen something in him that he didn't recognize in himself, and that's exactly why coaching is essential to Trickle Up's work with ultrapoor women around the world. But coaching is a tough gig, and Reshmi Paul's advice to Trickle Up is to "create a mechanism of training the trainers so you don't lose knowledge" and to enable scalability. Both Reshmi and John said that, if a coach is working too hard, he's not doing his job well; the mark of a great coach is someone who empowers others to "police themselves."
When we first announced this panel, we got a few puzzled responses asking about the relevance of the New York Knicks or Fortune 500 CEOs to Trickle Up's work helping women start on a pathway out of poverty. John and Reshmi, in conversation with our own Janet Heisey, found the common denominators. One was the necessity for coaches to be persistent and patient. That reminded me of a Trickle Up participant in India who told us: "When dada [affectionate nickname for field worker] first approached, we were so shy that we would cover our heads and hide. But he was relentless and told us not to be afraid. Finally we gave in."
On the 3rd of December every year, the International Day of People with Disabilities is celebrated worldwide.
According to the United Nations, over one billion people, or approximately 15% of the world's population, live with some form of a disability.
Known as "the world's largest minority", people with disabilities often face a variety of barriers, from social exclusion in their communities to an inability to access economic opportunities. Not surprisingly, people with disabilities account for 20% of the population living in extreme poverty.
This is why this year's theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is "removing barriers to create an inclusive and accessible society for all". Evidence shows that when barriers to their inclusion are removed and persons with disabilities are empowered to participate fully in everyday life, their entire community benefits. Barriers faced by persons with disabilities are, therefore, a detriment to society as a whole, and accessibility is necessary to achieve progress and development for all.
Trickle Up is proud of its commitment to include people with disabilities in our work. Most recently in October 2010, supported by USAID, we launched the Microenterprise Opportunities for People with Disabilities project in Guatemala to support and enable 320 people with disabilities to develop livelihood activities, learn how to best manage those activities and begin saving regularly. To this date, our project works to remove barriers that inhibit our participants from reaching their fullest potential. Prior to this in 2009, Trickle Up began the Stronger Voices, Sustainable Livelihoods project to support people with disabilities in Mali and won InterAction's first Disability Inclusion Award. In 2011, 14%of Trickle Up participants are affected by disabilities. Learn more…
Magdalena Tambriz Cuc de Xolcaja is one of the 320 members in Guatemala that Trickle Up has helped to develop a sustainable livelihood, save money, learn new business skills and gain new-found confidence for their future. For most of her 30 years, Magdalena was completely dependent on her family. As one of six children, she was kept indoors by her parents, who wanted to protect her from the stigma that goes with having a disability in her community. When Trickle Up began recruiting people with disabilities in her community to join our project, she was keen to seize the opportunity. In an interview with Trickle Up's President Bill Abrams, Magdalena explained how her Trickle Up grant gave her the capital she needed to buy her materials for her weaving business. One day, she hopes to pursue her dream of starting a food cart business. Read her full story here…
Join us today, December 3rd, as we recognize the incredible achievements of Magdalena and other people with disabilities around the world!
This is a day when we at Trickle Up take time to reflect, recognize and celebrate the economic and social achievements of women and men past, present and future.
Featured Blogpost: French Fries Or Weaving: Choosing The "Right" Business
When I met Magdalena Tambriz Cuc de Xolcaja, she was sitting on the dirt floor of her home with a backstrap loom and a tableau of brilliant blue embroidery. Even in a country renowned for the skills of its weavers, Magdalena's craftsmanship is a stand out.
So why does she really want to cook fried potatoes for a living?

Heart Disease Health Center
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease, also called coronary heart disease, or simply, heart disease, is the No. 1 killer in America, affecting more than 13 million Americans.
Heart disease is a result of plaque buildup in your arteries, which blocks blood flow and heightens the risk for heart attack and stroke.
Recommended Related to Heart Disease
Thriving After 2 Heart Attacks
I had my first heart attack 26 years ago, when I was 52. I was very active then, sometimes jogging and often walking long distances. But I was also on the congressional staff in Washington, and the day leading up to the attack was even more hectic than usual. My boss was introducing major legislation, and I had crafted an important floor speech. I didn't have time for regular meals and ate a huge cheeseburger for dinner, then smoked three or four cigarettes. It happened about 3 in the morning...
Read the Thriving After 2 Heart Attacks article > >
What Is Coronary Artery Disease?
Heart disease is a result of plaque buildup in your coronary arteries -- a condition called atherosclerosis -- that leads to blockages. The arteries, which start out smooth and elastic, become narrow and rigid, restricting blood flow to the heart. The heart becomes starved of oxygen and the vital nutrients it needs to pump properly.
How Does Coronary Artery Disease Develop?
From a young age, cholesterol-laden plaque can start to deposit in the blood vessel walls. As you get older, the plaque burden builds up, inflaming the blood vessel walls and raising the risk of blood clots and heart attack. The plaques release chemicals that promote the process of healing but make the inner walls of the blood vessel sticky. Then, other substances, such as inflammatory cells, lipoproteins, and calcium that travel in your bloodstream start sticking to the inside of the vessel walls.
Eventually, a narrowed coronary artery may develop new blood vessels that go around the blockage to get blood to the heart. However, during times of increased exertion or stress, the new arteries may not be able to supply enough oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
In some cases, a blood clot may totally block the blood supply to the heart muscle, causing heart attack. If a blood vessel to the brain is blocked, usually from a blood clot, an ischemic stroke can result. If a blood vessel within the brain bursts, most likely as a result of uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), a hemorrhagic stroke can result.
What Is Ischemia?
Cardiac ischemia occurs when plaque and fatty matter narrow the inside of an artery to a point where it cannot supply enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your heart's needs. Heart attacks can occur - with or without chest pain and other symptoms.
Ischemia is most commonly experienced during:
- Exercise or exertion
- Eating
- Excitement or stress
- Exposure to cold
Coronary artery disease can progress to a point where ischemia occurs even at rest. And ischemia can occur without any warning signs in anyone with heart disease, although it is more common in people with diabetes.
What Are the Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease?
The most common symptom of coronary artery disease is angina, or chest pain. Angina can be described as a heaviness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, squeezing or painful feeling. It can be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn. Angina is usually felt in the chest, but may also be felt in the left shoulder, arms, neck, back, or jaw.
Other symptoms that can occur with coronary artery disease include:
- Shortness of breath
- Palpitations (irregular heart beats, skipped beats, or a "flip-flop" feeling in your chest)
- A faster heartbeat
- Weakness or dizziness
- Nausea
- Sweating

How To Write Short
Guest Host:
Matt McCleskey
Today you can carry the complete works of Shakespeare on a thumb-sized device, and the Internet provides an endless page for bloggers, journalists and aspiring writers of all stripes. But in a time-starved culture with a serious case of information overload, the skill of using fewer words may be the most effective writing technique of all. Witness the rise of Twitter, the 140-character revolution in communication. We explore the skill of short-form writing.

It's been a long week so far, but here is Wednesday's Quick Shifts. Today we will look at the Florida Panthers, Boston Bruins , and Thomas Vanek lights the lamp.
Florida Panthers Need Money [CBS Sports]
The Panthers are a financial mess, and they are looking for the tax payers to bail them out. The basic thought here is the Panthers cannot afford to stay in South Florida. Because relocating doesn't seem to be on the table; yet. The current owner ship group is looking for Broward County to pay off the debt on BB&T Center, along with about $80 million in tax breaks over a 14 year period.
This could spark the relocation rumor mill if the Panthers are unable to get what they want out of the county, but those commissioners holding out are doing right by the tax payers. Public funds to professional sports franchises so rarely work out for the benefit of the people effectively paying to keep the team where they are. CBS Sports
Simply put the Panthers may be skating on think ice.
