DEFINITION of 'Subprime'
A classification of borrowers with a tarnished or limited credit history. Lenders will use a credit scoring system to determine which loans a borrower may qualify for. Subprime loans carry more credit risk, and as such, will carry higher interest rates as well. Approximately 25% of mortgage originations are classified as subprime.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Subprime'
Occasionally some borrowers might be classified as subprime despite having a good credit history. The reason for this is because the borrowers has elected to not provide verification of income or assets in the loan application process.
The loans in this classification are called stated income and/or stated asset (SISA) loans or even no income/no asset (NINA) loans.

ping triangulationA process developed by IBM in which client requests over the Internet can be routed to the cell that is geographically closest. When one or more mirror sites exists, ping triangulation uses a process called echo location. When a server receives a client request, it sends out an ICMP echo, or ping, packet across the Internet to the mirror sites and times the echo response. From this information, the most appropriate site to respond to the client request is determined. Basically, ping triangulation maps in multidimensional space the location of every mirror site and the end-user, sending that user not only to an open server but to the closest open server.

No evidence that fluoridation harmful
Dear Editor,
Re: Remove fluoride (Letters, Jan. 31). More than 100 government agencies and national and international professional health organizations support water fluoridation. These agencies include the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Canada and both the Canadian and American dental associations. They all agree that adding fluoride to drinking water at recommended levels (0.7 mg per litre of water) reduces tooth decay.

In Canada, studies proving this date back to 1945 in Brantford, Ont. Over 50 years of extensive worldwide research has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of water fluoridation in reducing the incidence of dental decay.
Today, in Manitoba, almost 95 per cent of the population supplied by a public water supply source receives fluoridated water. Fluoride works both topically and systemically to prevent tooth decay by increasing the resistance of tooth enamel to dental decay. Fluoride has been proven over and over again to reduce dental decay in children by approximately 18-40 per cent. With every $1 spent on adding fluoride to the public water supply it is estimated that $38 is saved in the cost of dental treatment.
Concerns by some that water fluoridation is toxic and harmful are false. There is no scientific evidence to support these allegations. The recommended level of fluoride added to the water supply has a built-in margin of safety that takes into consideration the use of fluoride from other sources on the most vulnerable age group in the population (22-36 months). Of the thousands of credible scientific studies on fluoridation, none has shown health problems associated with the consumption of optimally fluoridated water. Water fluoridation not only allows fluoride uptake by the enamel of the unerupted developing teeth but also provides fluoride uptake by the enamel of erupted teeth through saliva.
Although water fluoridation has been proven to benefit all residents of the community, the population that benefit the most are children, seniors and the hardest to reach -- the poor, for whom other preventative measures may not be accessible. Dental disease is the number one chronic disease among children and adolescents in North America.
The Manitoba Dental Association supports fluoridation of community drinking water. We believe that fluoridated water is safe, helps prevent tooth decay, and is the most cost effective way to prevent dental disease in the general population.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Mohammed Yusuf | 07 Aug 2014 12:22 GMT | US & Canada, Latin America, Cuba, Kenya, Somalia
Nairobi, Kenya - When Kenya's security forces knocked on the door of Abdinassir Ismail's house during a counter-terror crackdown last May, little did he know that they would ask for a bribe.
"There was a bang at the door followed by a loud command: 'Open the door,'" recalls 36-year-old Ismail. Six policemen stood at the door and asked for his identification papers, he told Al Jazeera.
The group were part of "Operation Usalama [peace] Watch", launched to hunt down people suspected of having links to Somalia's armed group al-Shabab, which is blamed by the Kenyan government for a series of deadly attacks, including last September's siege on a mall in Nairobi that left 77 people dead.
"I showed them my refugee card [registration certificate from the UN refugee agency, UNHCR]. One of them kept interrogating me while others ransacked the house," says Ismail, who is originally from neighbouring Somalia and has lived in Kenya as a refugee for 17 years.
"The policeman alleged my refugee identity card had expired. The truth is that it was still valid. He asked for a bribe. I had 1,000 shillings, equivalent to $12."Life turned upside down
Before the crackdown, life for Ismail in Dadaab refugee camp, one of the world's largest, and home to other refugees from Somalia, was relatively peaceful. The counter-terror crackdown turned it upside down, he says.
Ismail says that even after taking the bribe, the police arrested him, setting off a 15-day ordeal for him at what is now called Kasarani "Concentration Camp", Kenya's version of Guantanamo Bay, the US detention centre in Cuba.
I do not know how much but am certain they paid something. The last detainee was released at the gate of the police station.
- Local trader Mohamed Ahmed Kulmiye
Since April, the Kenyan government - which sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to rein in al-Shabab - has ordered all refugees in urban centres to return to camps in the north and east following a wave of terror attacks and threats across the country.
Ismail's charge of extortion against security forces has been corroborated by Amnesty International, the London-based rights group which slammed the operation, saying it was carried out in "blatant" disregard of international law and the country's constitution.
"Kenya's Somali community is being scapegoated in a counter-terror operation which has seen thousands subjected to arbitrary arrest, harassment, extortion, ill-treatment, forcible relocation, and expulsion," the group said.
Security forces have previously come under criticism over looting. The looting allegations against them started to make rounds shortly after the deadly siege on the Westgate shopping mall and have continued to haunt security forces in their counter-terror operations.
Last year, the head of the Kenyan army admitted that soldiers who fought al-Shabab at the mall had looted mobile phones, cameras and battery chargers, although he had initially insisted that they only took water from the supermarket.
But police dismiss allegations of extortion and insist the crackdown did not target the Somali community.
Masoud Mwinyi, the spokesman for the Kenyan administration police, tasked with securing government installations, said officers accused of extortion face disciplinary measures.
"People can make complaints here and there but they have to be verified ... so that we can have a basis we can start from," he told Al Jazeera.
The accusations have persisted, with some of those arrested saying they had proper identification papers but were detained anyway.
Local trader Mohamed Ahmed Kulmiye, 40, says he was arrested and detained for eight days after showing his identity document to the police during the crackdown.
"They arrested me at dusk. I had to trek. They patrolled every street, arresting more and more," Kulmiye says. "They arrested me along with 13 other people, most of them Somali and Ethiopian refugees."
All of those arrested alongside Kulmiye were released after paying bribes, he said.
"I do not know how much but I am certain they paid something. The last detainee was released at the gate of the police station. They did not ask for a bribe from me. I am a Kenyan, my documents are genuine and I had nothing to worry about, so why should I pay a bribe."
At least 200 Somalis have been deported to Mogadishu, the Somali capital.
When Somalis show their documents they ask them where they were born, their identification and serial number, some officers even pocket others' identity documents. To other Kenyans, no question is asked once they show their identification. For us its either you pay something or you are taken to the station and stay there for days.
- Ahmed Ali, high school graduate
The first batch of deportees in early April included 82 Somali nationals; the UNHCR and rights groups condemned the move.
Interior ministry officials say they will deport all unregistered Somali nationals in response to a wave of terror attacks.
Ahmed Ali, 23, a high school graduate and a resident of the mainly Somali neighbourhood of Eastleigh in Nairobi, believes all Somalis face discrimination while in police custody.
Ali, who was arrested during the operation, dismisses the government's claim that the security operation does not specifically target the Somali community.
"They are targeting the Somali community. Police ask for identification documents [and] when you show them, they say it is fake and they want you to accompany them to the police station."
Police spokesman Mwinyi insists the public should be given the best service even if there are security operations going on.
"Any members of the public who feel aggrieved by the way they have been served, they have been harassed or officers have asked for inducement or extortion of some kind, have always been asked to report," Mwinyi says.
Ali gave a first-hand experience of the police forces' underhand tactics.
"When Somalis show their documents they ask them where they were born, their identification and serial number, some officers even pocket others' identity documents. To other Kenyans, no question is asked once they show their identification. For us its either you pay something or you are taken to the station and stay there for days," Ali said.
At least 5,000 Somalis were arrested and arbitrarily detained at the Kasarani sports facility, but Mwinyi says the centre now receives very few detainees.
"That is due to the improved security situation now in the country, particularly Nairobi, and also more people are carrying their documents," he told Al Jazeera.
Ismail says when they took him to Kasarani for screening, no screening was done.
"Trucks kept coming, bringing more people to the stadium," said Ismail, who managed to escape twice, once from the detention centre itself and later from the Dadaab Refugee Camp after a fortnight.
"The police officers at the door were so exhausted. I used that chance to get away with the help of a man who came to the place looking for his missing family members. The man helped me escape through the backdoor without being noticed."

... look like they are from the 80's. The train we are on is very old fashioned. We went through lots of rural areas on the train with a few mountains in the background. There were many stops along the way. When the ticket man comes through into the cabin he bows at the head then says something presumably welcome and can you get your tickets ready to show him. It's just so nice. And when he leaves he says thank you and bows. We arrived just before ...
Grossly Happy Nationals - our Japanese Family

Takito made balloon animals and Kotona danced for us. Manito and Takito displayed some marshal arts moves and a good time was had by all!

They made gagging, snorting and burping sounds all night. And smoked. My last night to the public bath house I really wanted to take a photo.

Heir To Billions Charged With Preventing Wife's Burial, Not Murder
Though he had been arrested on suspicion of murder, the son of a Swedish billionaire has only been charged with "preventing the lawful and decent burial of the body of his wife," The Guardian reports.
We've been following the reports from London about the death of 48-year-old American Eva Rausing and the charges against her husband, Hans Kristian Rausing, 49. As one of our earlier headlines underscores, it's a sad story: "Heir To Billions May Have Lived With Wife's Body For Days In Britain."
The couple had struggled with drug addiction for years, according to many reports in the British media. Hans Kristian Rausing is an heir to the fortune amassed by his father Hans Rausing Sr., who founded Tetra Pak-- a manufacturer of food and drinks packaging products.
Eva Rausing was found dead on July 9. Authorities went to the couple's home after her husband was stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. "Police are treating the death of Mrs Rausing as 'unexplained,' and a post-mortem examination held last week failed to establish a formal cause of death," the BBC says.
Today, some gruesome details were revealed, as Sky News writes:
"The body of the millionairess was found at their home in bin bags sealed up with gaffer tape, West London Magistrates' Court has been told. Police discovered her remains at the couple's mansion in the capital after Rausing was stopped by police on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
"A warrant was issued to search his home in Belgravia. The court heard Mrs Rausing's body was in a bedroom which had also been sealed with gaffer tape."
Rausing has been granted "conditional bail" that requires him to live at a London hospital where he's being treated, Sky News adds.

I'm jealous! Backpacked throughout the area last summer. It was an amazing time, as I'm sure you'll soon find out!
Where's Pablo
A lot of things stood out on my trip, but the bigger one was a night hike up to Telica Volcano in Nicaragua. The sun was setting as we climbed and once there, we went to top in the darkness. The heat coming up from the volcano sounds like a jet engine and the magma is visible at the bottom of the crater. It was incredible!
Having said that though… just try and do everything! : )

Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Budget/Appropriations. As Congress returns from recess on Monday, the House Budget Committee will consider legislation to replace the automatic spending cuts imposed by sequestration. House Budget Committee Democrats said this week the Republican-backed plan would undermine federal programs like Medicare and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee will mark-up its FY 2013 Defense Appropriations bill on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the House Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee and the House Armed Services Committee plan to mark-up their FY 2013 Appropriations and authorization bills, respectively. Meanwhile, Budget Committee Ranking Member Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) predicted this week that appropriations, sequestration, taxes and the debt ceiling will not be fully dealt with until after the November elections...
One year after the death of Osama bin Laden, late Tuesday evening, President Obama addressed the nation from Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan about transitioning to "a future in which Afghans are responsible for the security of their nation" and announced 23,000 soldiers from the 2010 troop surge will rotate home by the end of summer. President Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai signed a new Strategic Partnership Agreement, which Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Carl Levin (D-Michigan) said is a "big step toward ending a long war…." On Wednesday, Chairman Levin added any decision on the pace of withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan after the initial 23,000 troop drawdown should wait until fall. This week, the Administration also released some documents confiscated during the assault on bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. On Monday, in defense of the legality of using unmanned aircraft to kill foreign terrorists, White House counterterrorism official John Brennan said part of the Administration's rationale derives from The Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by Congress after September 11, 2001...

Anna Poems - Poems For Anna
Poems about anna. You can read the best anna poems. Browse through all anna poems.
1.Anna Who Was Mad
Anna who was mad,
I have a knife in my armpit.
When I stand on tiptoe I tap out messages.
Am I some sort of infection?
Did I make you go insane?
Did I make the sounds go sour?
Did I tell you to climb out the window?
Forgive. Forgive.
Say not I did.
Say not.
Speak Mary-words into our pillow.
Take me the gangling twelve-year-old
into your sunken lap.
Whisper like a buttercup.
Eat me. Eat me up like cream pudding.
Take me in.
Take me.
Give me a report on the condition of my soul.
Give me a complete statement of my actions.
Hand me a jack-in-the-pulpit and let me listen in.
Put me in the stirrups and bring a tour group through.
Number my sins on the grocery list and let me buy.
Did I make you go insane?
Did I turn up your earphone and let a siren drive through?
Did I open the door for the mustached psychiatrist
who dragged you out like a gold cart?
Did I make you go insane?
From the grave write me, Anna!
You are nothing but ashes but nevertheless
pick up the Parker Pen I gave you.
Write me.

We produce and supply the pollen forecasts for the UK in conjunction with the Met Office.
Summary and Weekly Synopsis
The tree pollen risk will be low and the spore risk will also be low.
This forecast was last updated on 27th March 2015.
Tree Pollen - Low
The tree pollen risk will be low across the UK. Ash, Elm, Alder and Hazel trees are in flower but cool or showery weather will keep emissions at low levels. The birch pollen season is expected to start towards the second week of April in the South of the UK.
Grass Pollen - Low
The grass pollen counts will remain low until the late Spring.
Fungal Spore - Low
The spore levels will be mainly low during March. Although the air won't be entirely spore free levels are unlikely to trigger symptoms.
For more information on fungal spore allergy click here.
Weed Pollen - Low
The weed pollen counts will remain low until next Spring.
Other information
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) pollen can cause hay fever in a small number of sufferers but Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) given off by the crop can cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes in some people in close proximity to the crop.
For more information on the role of fungal spores in allergy, click here.
For more information on the role of pollen in allergy please see the following pages:
Further Information
Further information on this service can be obtained from Beverley Adams-Groom on 01905 855411.
Forecasts are available on a regional basis to cover the whole of the UK including Northern Ireland. They can also be provided in detail for individual regions.
Daily forecasts are issued from the middle of March to the end of September. Tree pollen forecasts are issued in late spring (late March to Mid May). Grass pollen forecasts are issued from late May to August. Weed pollen forecasts are issued from July to the end of May. Fungal spore forecasts are also available on a daily basis from September to the end of November.
Daily forecasts are featured in newspapers, on radio, on television and various web pages.
All the forecasts are based on information from the quality controlled data produced by the National Pollen Monitoring Network, combined with the information from weather forecasts, local vegetation and typography types and information about biological factors and the weather in the preseason period that influences the amount of pollen produced.

Season ends with great races
Campfire smoke swirled skyward, footballs flew through the air, mini bikes and four wheels were in abundance over the weekend. But this wasn't a campground near a lake on a beautiful fall afternoon, it was the the 27th annual Paul Bunyan Stampede at Bemidji Speedway.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
We are all RandBall now.
For the first six years, these birthday posts have focused on the difference between RandBall (the blog) and traditional media; when the blog started seven years ago, it was a breath of fresh air that cut through the stale cloud of 2006's newspaper industry.
Seven years on, RandBall is everywhere. The blog is just one small part of RandBall Industries; it stands alongside Page 2, the online videos, and an entire community of Twitterers and blogs and podcasts that can be traced, at least indirectly, to the group of goofballs that used to gather in the comments section of RandBall posts.
It's almost foolish to continue to celebrate these birthdays; we might as well celebrate the anniversary of all of the people who signed up for Twitter, or of the first of the long-since-discontinued Redactulars, or any number of other milestones along the way. Don't get me wrong, RandBall is great, as a blog -- but it's grown beyond these virtual blog walls. What started as something different than traditional media has itself become traditional media. We are all RandBall now.
I suppose the credit you can give to Rand is that he never, ever tried to wrestle this thing to the ground and control it. He let go and trusted us all to not ruin everything, and it - I would like to think - has paid off. As for me, on this auspicious yearly occasion, I offer my thanks to Rand for kicking all of this off. He didn't know where it was going, either, but it's spawned friendships beyond counting and fun beyond measure, and what else can I ask for?
So wish RandBall a happy birthday! Use the comments, or Twitter, or your blog, or your podcast, because the way this thing is going, those all make perfect sense.

About this location
The Ionian Islands region
The Ionian Islands are situated in western Greece. They sport some of the best beaches in Greece and enjoy the best climate, with an ideal balance of humidity and sunshine. They are amongst the greenest Greek islands.
The best and largest island in the Ionian Sea is Kefalonia (or Cephalonia). It is renowned for its amazing beaches and you will need at least a week to see the island properly. It combines blue turquoise waters with a long history, various sightseeing opportunities and natural beauty. Whether you like swimming, sailing, watersports, hiking or just relaxing, spending time with your family or friends, Kefalonia is the island for you. Its people will capture you with their hospitality and ingenuity, as they are rumored to be the real descendants of Ulysses.
The villas are in a quiet location; a few minutes' walk or drive to the best sand beaches on the island. Mini markets and tavernas are within walking distance in the Ammes beach area. A few minutes' drive to the island's capital, Argostoli (9km), the busy seaside resort of Lassi (7km) and the airport.
Four different sand beaches are close by: Eglina beach (350m), Megali Ammos beach (650m), Spasmata beach (1.3km), Ammes beach (2km). Some are well organized with umbrellas and beach bars, while others are not. On a windy day, because of their circular orientation, there will always be a perfectly calm and a very windy beach close by. Further away, you can get, in a few minutes' drive, to some of the best sand beaches on the island: cosmopolitan Makris Gialos beach (5.8km), Platis Gialos beach (5.5km), Avithos beach (5.8km) or Ai Helis beach (4.5km).
Kefalonia's picturesque capital, Argostoli, and the seaside resort of Lassi are a few kilometers away. They are the main amenities and entertainment hubs on the island, in terms of watersports, tavernas, bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, hospital, banks, glass bottom boat excursions etc.
Kefalonia is one of the largest islands in Greece and it will take at least a week to see it properly. During your stay you can visit the Venetian castles of St George and Assos, the picturesque fishing village of Fiscardo, the Melissani and Drogarati Caves at Sami. You will gawp at the view from the monasteries of Kipouria, Themata, Sissia and you will see many picturesque small villages and beaches along the way.
If you enjoy outdoor activities, such as fishing, horse riding, hunting, diving, sea kayaking, canoeing, yachting or even flying a light aircraft, there will be plenty of opportunities in Kefalonia to indulge. You can also go trekking on mount Ainos (1,620m), one of the highest mountains in the Greek Islands and one of ten National Parks in Greece. There is an excellent view from its peak, where in ancient times a temple of the ancient Greek god, Zeus, was situated, according to the ancient Greek author Hesiod.
Kefalonia became famous worldwide, since being the background setting of Louis de Bernieres bestselling book "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" and the ensuing Hollywood film starring Penelope Cruz and Nicholas Cage.
If you would like to explore nearby islands with your own car, it is possible to visit Ithaka, Lefkas or Zakynthos from Kefalonia by ferry boat or as part of an organized excursion.

"Lovely place on a lovely island"
This is a very well looked after villa, with all mod cons. Lovely beaches very close by, so definitely did not miss not having a swimming pool! Great for kids too!… More

"beautiful landscape of Kefalonia"
Being in the south east part of Kefalonia and close to the airport, Avra Villa is an excellent central point from which to see the beautiful landscape of Kefalonia.
The villa is of the highest quality and we really miss the exotic starry nights that we enjoyed most from the rooftop terrace.

"Very good value for money"
For a family with three children Minies Villas appears to be very good value for money for holidays in the Captain Corelli's island. Close to the airport, but still worth renting a car to explore the island even if the beaches are within walking distance

Great minimalist design
Gary from Portage, MI– Verified Buyer
I purchased this lamp as a desk lamp that is streamlined and non intrusive. unfortunately the first one I received was defective as half of the led lights did not work. Allmodern quickly sent me a replacement light after I have told them about my misfortune and now I am very happy with it. The light sensor for turning off and dimming the light takes a little while to get used to but once you do it does offer a variety of light intensities to tailor it to your needs. I plan on buying more lamps from Koncept in the near future.
super sleek
Chris from Birmingham, AL– Verified Buyer
Simple clean very bright desk lamp. It can bend in pretty much every direction i could ever need for my desk. I purchased the the clamp adapter to keep my desk space minimal. I purchased the warm led model, and it's plenty bright, and has an even light pattern. Highly recommend if your looking for a modern desk lamp that is led powered. Also it has a touch control which is pretty useful aswell
great task lamp
carol from Stamford, CT– Verified Buyer
very nice modern sleek design; use it on my main study deal; will not light up large space but each arm can be moved into various positions tup and down and side to side; love the slide touch function on top of lamp to turn on/off/dim..great purchase!!
David from San Antonio, TX– Verified Buyer

Jacqueline from Boca Raton, Florida– Verified Buyer
All that I expected. Works great and looks good. Best desk lamp I ever used.
Excellent Lamp
Leon from Bellevue, WA– Verified Buyer
Ship in a very nice box. Look really appealing! Best lamp ever!
Steven from Navasota, TX– Verified Buyer
This light is a space saver on my desk for I don't have much room. To put it together was very easy.
William Henderson from Colleyville, TX– Verified Buyer
I would strongly suggest going with the large unit as it casts enough lite to cover a mid-sized desk well. The higher you can fix the unit, the larger the footprint. So, if you go smaller, you can't go higher, meaning you can't create a large light footprint.

100 Years of Kiwanis
Open January 10 – March 22, 2015 in the Community Gallery
The Detroit Kiwanis Club No. 1 is the first Kiwanis Club in the world. It was founded in downtown Detroit in 1915 by a group of businessmen, led by Allen Brown.
Brown enlisted Gratiot Avenue retailer Joseph G. Prance to form a fraternal club of businessmen with a motto, "We Trade." Don Johnston was elected President. The group was initially called "Benevolent Order of Brothers," but this was soon changed to "Nunc-Keewanis" (from the Otchipew Indian language). Roughly translated, the phrase means "to express one's self." Later, the name was shortened to "Kiwanis."
Today, Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Kiwanis and its youth-oriented Service Leadership Programs serve communities in more than 80 countries and geographic areas. Kiwanis International now comprises 600,000 members - men, women boys and girls - worldwide.

13 Jul 2011 07:19 GMT | Europe, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal
Credit rating agency Moody's has downgraded Ireland's government bond ratings to junk, dealing a further blow to the eurozone as it struggles to contain a worsening debt crisis.
Moody's on Tuesday said it cut Ireland's rating by one notch to "Ba1" from "Baa3" - to junk status - because it sees a growing risk the debt-ridden country will need a second bailout once its current rescue package expires at the end of 2013.
The outlook for Ireland remains "negative", Moody's added.
Banks and other private investors will likely be asked to contribute to any new bailout, for instance by giving Ireland more time to repay its bonds, Moody's said.
Such private sector involvement is currently being negotiated for Greece, the first eurozone country that had to be bailed out and which now is negotiating its second rescue package within a little over a year.
Tough trend
The downgrade of Ireland follows a similar move last week, when Moody's cut the rating of Portugal, the third victim of the eurozone's debt crisis.
It comes at a difficult time for the 17-country currency union, which in recent days has seen the crisis threatening to engulf big countries like Spain and Italy, which are considered too big to be bailed out.
A two-day meeting of finance ministers in Brussels, which concluded earlier Tuesday, opened the door for lower interest rates and longer maturities for the rescue loans of already bailed out countries - a move thatshould take some pressure off Ireland.
The ministers said they would also discuss wider powers for the eurozone's bailout fund, such as the right to buy distressed bonds on the open market and thereby lower a country's debt load.
However, the concessions, which remained very vague, came as ministers for the first time acknowledged that they are prepared to accept a temporary default rating for Greece as part of their efforts to get banks andinvestment funds to share the burden of a second bailout.
The debate over the new Greek package has rocked markets and undermined investor confidence in other struggling countries like Ireland.
It has also pushed the European Union and other eurozone countries to attack the rating agencies, which they say are unfair in their assessments of countries that have already been saved.
The bloc has already implemented new rules for rating agencies following their failure to predict the credit crisis of 2007-08.
It is set to propose a new round of regulation in November, in which it may introduce new requirements for sovereign debt ratings, such as a longer warning period for governments, allowing them to point out flaws with the data.
The European Commission, the EU's executive and one of the institutions overseeing Ireland's exiting bailout, immediately came out against the downgrade.
"It contrasts very much with the recent data, which support a return to GDP growth this year, and the determined implementation of the (bailout) programme by the Irish government, which has taken strong ownership of it," the Commission said in a statement.
Moody's acknowledged that the Irish government has slashed its budget deficit - the EU's largest by far last year - and met the targets set out in its programme, which on top of cuts also includes tax increases and economic reforms.
However, Moody's warned that "implementation risks remain significant, particularly in light of the continued weakness in the Irish economy."
Debt inspectors from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund are currently in Dublin, checking on the implementation of the bailout programme before the next loan installment can be transferred. Their mission is set to end on Thursday.

cute but shoe ran a littl long.
"These a really comfy and actually feel a little light weight for high top sneakers. I bought the 9.5 but they were about a half an inch too big. So I eneded up returning them and going with a pair of DC Shoes instead. They were made well and I really loved the leopard design on them. Just wished they fit better."

Sometime later, Cameron takes her turn administering the drug. Now, whose bright idea was it to let her do anything so potentially dangerous? The guy who created that arsenic sleeping sickness medicine? Every time Cameron gives Elyce medicine, the poor woman either hallucinates bugs or forgets what time it is and goes into a deep coma! Cameron and her "I don't know" theory of bedside manner tell Ed that the fact that Elyce didn't haul off and die since the treatment started is a "good sign." Yeah, no shit, Sherlock('s wannabe girlfriend). African sleeping sickness or no, it's ALWAYS a "good sign" when you don't fall off this moral coil. Ed asks whether Elyce knows he's there. "I don't know," Cameron says. As long as difficult questions aren't related to medicine and are related to her own personal Issues, Cameron has an answer. She says Elyce knows that Ed is "always" there for her. Except for the time she cheated on him, Ed says. Whoops! Cameron gets all mad that Ed would dare to be upset at his wife's indiscretions, saying that Elyce just "made a mistake." Except that Cameron doesn't know that, does she? For all we know, Elyce has been having a long-term affair with Ed's jogger buddy and would have left Ed next week if this whole coma thing hadn't messed with her plans. Ed says there's a big part of him that can't handle having a cheating wife. And that part of him kind of wouldn't mind if Elyce died. Ha ha, Cameron! Look what your little true love happily ever after story turned into now! She gathers up her glass syringes of plastic-melting medicine and moves to leave the room, and Ed asks if this makes him a terrible person. I was totally expecting Cameron to say the predictable "it makes you human" response, but instead she says "yes." Holy crap! That would have been really cool if it wasn't so WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE. Seriously, Cameron needs to learn a few lessons from her boss and stop being around people if this is how she's going to behave.
Wilson comes back to recap the first three-quarters of the show for us, saying that House is treating Elyce for sleeping sickness because he doesn't think it's possible for a couple to stay faithful. House says that Wilson is going to break something if he continues to throw stones in that glass house of his. Wilson says it was only a work lunch, and that he loves his wife. House says he's sure Wilson loves his wife, just like House loved "all" his wives, and the women he was with who didn't actually make it to the altar. Wilson calls House a "jerk." Ooooh, shot to the heart! House says he's a jerk, and Wilson is the "good guy." And as long as he's the good guy, he can do whatever he wants. Wilson says that being a jerk allows House to say whatever he wants. House says that together, the two of them together can "rule the world!" Sounds like a proposition to me, but Wilson just rolls his eyes and walks away.

Wanted: vigorous and sweet-smelling native creeper
I am looking for a vigorous and sweet-smelling native creeper to plant next to our deck to cover it eventually. Flower size, shape and color don't really matter too much - quick growth and sweet blooms are my primary concerns.
What are my options (if any) or would I be better off going for a non-native plant in this regard?
The sempervirens cultivars that I've run into (including the one I have)have no scent, though. They're great, covered with flowers for months, but no sweet honeysuckle smell - you only get that with the thuggish Japanese honeysuckle. I used to have dioica (sp?), and that had a slight smell, but no repeat bloom. Canandensis is shrubby and has no or little scent. Anyone grow the others?
Did you say what area you are in?
Are you asking about true jasmine or carolina jasmine et al?
Carolina Jasmine is not a true jasmine (is a Gelsemium instead) and the flower nectar is toxic to bees, not recommended as our bees are already in trouble!
Autumn clematis is one of my favorites (C. paniculata is a nice sweet smelling non toxic viney plant with lovely white flowers late summer-fall in most areas of the country)
Carolina Jasmine is not a true jasmine (is a Gelsemium instead) and the flower nectar is toxic to bees
I believe the correct description is toxic to HONEY bees which are non-native bees. It is not toxic to native bees who evolved with it.
And even the honey bees are only affected in mostly small amounts unless they happen to take it back to the hive.

More than 50,000 transit users have downloaded the Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) Transit Tracker iPhone app and have given it rave reviews. Now Android users have the opportunity to give the app a test ride as the Transit Tracker app is now available for Android devices.Developed internally by MDT's Information Technology Services staff, this colorful and easy-to-use app is very similar to the Transit Tracker iPhone app launched in November 2011.Both the iPhone and the newly released Android app are available for free and allow transit users to:• View bus schedules by bus stop and connecting bus routes.• View real-time Metrorail train arrival times, including the ability map the location of trains as they approach a station.• Obtain station information.• Locate nearby bus stops, as well as Metrorail and Metromover stations.• View the status of elevator and escalator service at Metrorail and Metromover stations.• Plan a trip on transit modes using Google trip planner.• View fare information.• View Metrobus, Metrorail and Metromover system maps.• Submit comments and suggestions regarding a transit experience.• Access important MDT contact telephone numbers.To obtain the Android app, transit users can type in "Google Play Store" on Google and type "MDT Transit Tracker". For the iPhone version, visit the Apple iTunes App Store and download the Miami-Dade Transit Tracker. Both versions are free and easy to install.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.
