This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

There is a lot of talk these days about the perilious future of both recorded music and book publishing. As a recording artist and author, I furrow my brow in the general direction of both topics. I was intriguiged by this recent article by music journalist Chet Flippo. He refers to a "massive anxiety attack" that has plagued the music industry for some time and discusses specifically his concerns that commercial uncertainty is breeding an artistic insecurity that is robbing recording artists of their "mojo". (I think one can draw some parallels to what is happening to many authors in the world of book publishing as well.)

In order for you and your cat to live together in a companionable and happy relationship there are some things that you will need to teach your cat to learn. There are some ground rules that should be established.
Remember that your territory is not your pet's natural territory and that all animals still behave as animals no matter where they live. Certainly, you can train your cat to follow house rules and even do some pretty neat tricks, but it will take a lot of patience and consistency.
What basic training does your cat need?
First, there is toilet training. Where to go to the toilet is one of the most important things to train your cat or kitten. Cats are naturally clean animals so this will be quite an easy task.
There are several cat behaviors that are not acceptable for pets and so they need to be broken out of them. One of the worst cat behaviors is scratching; that is, scratching humans and scratching the furniture. Cats love to scratch. They don't just do it to harm anyone or ruin furniture; they do it because it is their nature to protect themselves and for the need to sharpen their claws.
Spraying is another behavior that is unwelcome in the home. Cats spray to mark their territory, so it is simply a natural thing for them to do. Also, if you travel a lot and wish to take your cat with you, then travel training is a must.
Other basic training may depend on your own style of living and whether you live in the country or the city. If you live in an apartment, you may need to train your cat to lead so that you can take him outside. If you live in the country, this may not be necessary. If you live close to major traffic, but have a backyard, you may need to train your cat to keep away from the road; otherwise he is likely to get run over.
When training your cat, the goal in mind is to break the bad behavior and condition him to accept new behavior that is acceptable to you.

On a conjecture of Whittaker concerning uniformization of hyperelliptic curves
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: This article concerns an old conjecture due to E. T. Whittaker, aiming to describe the group uniformizing an arbitrary hyperelliptic Riemann surface as an index two subgroup of the monodromy group of an explicit second order linear differential equation with singularities at the values .
Whittaker and collaborators in the thirties, and R. Rankin some twenty years later, were able to prove the conjecture for several families of hyperelliptic surfaces, characterized by the fact that they admit a large group of symmetries. However, general results of the analytic theory of moduli of Riemann surfaces, developed later, imply that Whittaker's conjecture cannot be true in its full generality.
Recently, numerical computations have shown that Whittaker's prediction is incorrect for random surfaces, and in fact it has been conjectured that it only holds for the known cases of surfaces with a large group of automorphisms.
The main goal of this paper is to prove that having many automorphisms is not a necessary condition for a surface to satisfy Whittaker's conjecture.

Mizzou's Murphy sets mark with 4th scoring return
Updated: October 13, 2012, 5:58 PM ETAssociated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Marcus Murphy returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, setting a Missouri single-season record with four kick returns for scores.
Murphy broke the mark of three by John Moseley in 1973, two on punts and a third on a kickoff, on a jaunt that got the Tigers on the scoreboard in a game dominated by top-ranked Alabama on Saturday. The return came on the second play after the game resumed following a 38-minute delay due to lightning and cut the deficit ...

Great hybrid
Reviewed: 22 January 2015 by PowerEst, a Straight Going Steady Male
I have tried lot of different lubricants. I mainly used different Durex-branded lubricants before, that you can buy from every store. They always felt a bit sticky and I didn't like them. I thought that all lubricants are like that, so I didn't really bother to search something better.
But then I saw Sliquid with great reviews at Lovehoney, and decided to try them out. At the moment, I've tried Natural H2O, Natural Gel and Natural Silk lubricants and all of them are great and have very natural feel.
They all have quite discreet and expensive-looking bottles, that I can hold on my night closet with no problems. They have great push-button cap that is easy to open and close without a mess.
Natural Silk lubricant feels natural and lasts very long time. It provides lot of lubrication and doesn't get sticky. It's not so easy to clean than water-based lubricants, but it's a lot easier than silicone-only lubricants.
- Pros
- Very good and long-lasting lubrication! Quite easy to clean.
- Cons
- Still not so easy to clean than pure water-based lubricants.
- Bottom line
- I recommend it for everyone, who likes long-lasting lubricants!

Silky soft
Reviewed: 03 October 2014 by 888paramour888
This is a wonderful lube. It's smooth, odourless and tasteless, and the texture is very similar to, ahem, "natural lubrication". Being a hybrid lube, it combines the best sides of both water-based and silicone-based lubricants: it's easy to use and washes off quickly, like water-based lube, but has a very smooth glide, a little goes a long way, and it never becomes sticky or gooey - just like the silicone-based stuff. Since this contains silicone, you shouldn't use it with silicone-based toys, though it's wonderful for all other purposes.
All natural, the Sliquid Silk is designed to be as gentle on your private parts as possible, making it an ideal choice for people with sensitivities. If you thought lubes always make you itchy (yes, some people really are this sensitive), this may be the one lube to solve it all.
The 125ml bottle goes a surprisingly long way. I keep two lubes in my toy box, this and the H2O, and prefer this whenever silicone toys aren't involved; when they are, or when I'm going out on a date and don't know for sure what's in my partner's plans, I pick the H2O. Both are top quality products, and well worth the money.
- Pros
- Smooth, gentle on your private parts, tasteless, odourless.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A great natural lube!

Feels natural
Reviewed: 27 January 2013 by Scarlett2468, a Straight Going Steady Female
I tried this because I wasn't getting on with other lubes like durex. This feels really natural and like it's part of me.
We also used it as a massage oil - good for that too!
With some other lubes they've stung a little but not this one - fab!
- Pros
- Feel really smooth and natural.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Natural feel, excellent lubricant.

Ensure continuous access to fortified cooking oil and wheat flour for at least 70% of the population of West Africa
Life of Project:
January 2011-June 2014
Total USAID/West Africa Funding:
Geographic Scope:
Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote D'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.
Implementing Partner:
Project Description:
Micronutrient deficiencies are responsible for widespread health and economic consequences, including maternal mortality, child mortality, stunting, blindness, chronic anemia, and reduced capacity to work. West Africa is challenged with pervasive severe and chronic malnutrition and pervasive micronutrient deficiency.
To address these challenges on a regional scale, USAID/West Africa's Health and Agriculture offices support Helen Keller International to implement the Partnership for Sustainable Food Fortification in West Africa (Fortify West Africa). Fortify West Africa works to harmonize fortification policies and standards, and encourage private sector adoption of fortification in order to reach the most vulnerable mothers and children with vital micronutrients such as vitamin A, iron, folic acid, and B vitamins. Integral to this program is a broad range of stakeholders responsible for program implementation and success, including: member states of both the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the West African Regional Economic Community (ECOWAS), milling and cooking oil industries, and private companies producing micronutrients for fortification.
Program Components:
• Harmonizing standards between UEMOA and ECOWAS states to encourage intra-regional trade.
• Advocating to ECOWAS and UEMOA states to mandate fortification of locally produced and imported cooking oil and wheat flour.
• Promoting the Enrichi logo on fortified foods to certify these foods for trade and for the consumer.
• Training officials on monitoring and quality control using testing (called "I-checks") at manufacturing and market levels.
• Ten of 15 and 11 of 15 ECOWAS countries have mandatory legislation for fortifying cooking oil and wheat flour, respectively.
• An estimated 98 percent of the total population of ECOWAS has access to micronutrient-fortified wheat flour and 72 percent has access to vitamin A-fortified vegetable oil.
• The Enrichi logo is a successful example of branding to build consumer awareness and promote fortified foods in West Africa.

M23 delegation in Uganda for talks on Congo conflict
Sun Dec 9, 2012 2:51AM
The M23 rebels pledged to withdraw to 20 kilometers outside Goma under a deal brokered by the leaders of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR). And on December 1, the M23 rebels withdrew from Goma."This summit strongly condemned the M23 and all its attacks on the civilian population... as well as its abuses of human rights," said SADC Secretary General Tomaz Salomao at the end of the summit. Congo has faced numerous problems over the past few decades, such as grinding poverty, crumbling infrastructure, and a war in the east of the country that has dragged on for over a decade and left over 5.5 million people dead.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Very helpful staff and great selection of dresses for every budget.
Lovella Bridal is THE place to go to get your wedding dress! If I could give 10 stars instead of 5 I would. If you want to be treated like a princess preparing for your special day - if you want to work with a stylist who can really help pick dresses for you that will really give you what you want and flatter your particular body type - if you want to take your time in a no-pressure environment - Lovella is for you!! Not to mention they have the MOST beautiful gowns on earth!!
Thank you ladies at Lovella! We had a short time frame to find me the dress I envisioned and we did it. You are a welcoming, professional, and loving staff that made me feel comfortable and beautiful. Thanks again!
Lovella Bridal was the 2nd shop I went to. Not only did I find my perfect wedding dress but Angie and her staff are amazing I must have tried on a hundred dresses and yet Angie stayed until I tried them all on and I found my perfect dream dress. I would definitely recommend Lovella Bridal to everyone I know.
Lovella was the 2nd and last place I visited to get my dress. They absolutely know what they are doing and only carry the best gowns in all price ranges. They also make sure they stick to your style and budget that you tell them when you go in. Angie was the one to help me find my dress (May 2014) and she was the absolute best. She definitely got me to get out of my comfort zone. I went in there wanting an A-line gown to hide my "big butt" but I left out of there with a mermaid gown. It was the best decision and I have pictures to prove it. I did end up going over my budget but only because Angie asked me if I had some wiggle room first. Also a good decision because the gown was so gorgeous and it was only a little over my budget. They also spent 2 hours on me when a typical appointment is 1 hour. I do want to mention something that Angie said to me that I won't forget. She said "not everyone is going to have that moment where they say THIS IS THE DRESS and start getting emotional, some people just have to go with their gut" I was definitely one of those. I didn't leave there super excited (it didn't help that I had just gotten into a fight with my fiance on the phone about what I just spent - whatever it was my money) but I knew I had a dress that looked THE BEST on me and was excellent quality. As I went into fitting appointments I loved the dress even more and on the wedding day I felt AMAZING.
My wife and I found our wedding dresses at Lovella Bridal and we couldn't be happier!
Angie was fantastic at knowing what would work for us because my wife and I had a hard time choosing something for ourselves and when we told her what our personal preferences are, she was able to find 2 dresses that are not only perfect for us, but they also compliment each other greatly!
The boutique itself is beautiful and the best we've seen, the rest of the staff are genuinely friendly and accommodating.
They were also nice enough to let us take a photo of our dresses for us to evaluate and show to our family which were out of town, something that some places don't allow you to do.
Again, I can't stress how smooth sailing the whole experience was from picking a dress to ordering, paying, and alterations. Angie was there to help us through out the whole duration. And did I mention that their prices are great??
If you're a bride and you're looking for your dream wedding dress, don't waste your time with other places and go over to Lovella Bridal! You won't be disappointed!
Thanks again Lovella Bridal and most of all thanks Angie!!!
amazing selection and very friendly attentive staff- ask for Jasmine she is great!!!
I actually did not get my dress from here, but my garter. I was a bad bride and waited VERY last minute to get my garter. Like 4 -days- before- my- wedding-bad. My matron and maid of honor flew into town and we were on a garter hunt. We called dozens of bridal salons and stores as well as visited many…either they did not have what we were looking for or their selection was pretty crappy.
We were walking around and found this place. We didn't have an appointment or anything. The girl that helped us was SO sweet. I tried on all their garters..which was probably annoying for her because she had to take everything out of the display and then put everything back. But she didn't seemed annoyed at all. COuldn't have been nicer.
The garter I chose was absolutely stunning and am 100% happy with it. The service during check out was great too!
The store itself is BEAUTIFUL inside. So clean, and professional. LOVE this place!
Lovella was great! The service was fantastic. I loved the ladies who helped me, especially Nayri. They had a great selection of beautiful gowns and were so helpful and attentive at my appointment.
Amazing amazing experience. Entire staff was wonderful and worked with me to put together my perfect dream wedding dress!
Thank you for the great service! Not only did I find what I was looking for but the friendliness of the staff transformed my search for a dress into a fantastic and fun experience!
My friend got her wedding dress from Lovella a few years back. I'm so happy to get my dress from Lovella also. Nayri helped me found the dress I wanted and love. I tried on about 5 dresses at the store. I was debating between 2 dresses and Nayri helped me made the decision by pointing out the pros and cons between the 2 dresses. I'm so glad I trusted her opinions :)
Nayri is extremely professional and patient with all my questions and concerns. One of the concerns I had was finding the right shoes. I went to Lovella to try on the shoes with my dress to make sure the heels height was okay and the dress doesn't get caught on the shoes. They were very accommodating in scheduling me to do this.
I love Lovella. They are so professional. They make you feel like they genuinely care and they are so knowledgeable.
I had the pleasure of working with Nayri this past weekend! She is amazing!!! She helped me to pick my dream dress for my wedding in Hawaii. Nayri listened to what I wanted my dress to look like and then showed us gorgeous dresses that fit our price range. She is extremely professional, personable and provided a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend Lovella Bridal.... I am in love with my dress. Thank you Nayri for the excellent service! Aloha!!
Lovella is Amazing!!! They have all the bridal gown Designers and any price or style that can meet anyones needs. Its the place to buy your bridal dress from and the experience is wonderful, the Girls are so helpful and super sweet!! Thank You Lovella for my dress!! :) I can't wait to wear my dress!!
I ended up in Lovella by accident. I showed up at the wrong bridal salon---my gps was confused. But it ended up being a blessing in disguise! When I walked into Lovella, a dress fell off the hanger. When my bridesmaid took it to the desk so they could get a better hanger, another dress just popped out. It was ivory and gold. I tried it on and looked as though I was marrying into European royalty. It was the most well-made dress I had ever seen. It's the kind you hope you can pass onto your daughter someday. Other dresses in the same price range at other stores made me feel as though they were loose around the waist. This one was so perfectly made that it minimized my waist without having to wear anything under it. And for a Los Angeles September wedding, the last thing you want is to have to wear more layers!
Not only was it the perfect dress, it was the perfect shop. I worked with someone named Nayri. She was AWESOME. Any question I had, she'd get to it the same day. I could even schedule times to see my dress if I wanted to compare other swatches to it. We also got the bridesmaid dresses there, which were SO beautiful. Oh, and Nayri also would put aside accessories she thought I'd like since she could sense that I was sorta over the whole shopping for a dress process. I had gone to 5 other stores before Lovella. The dress and Nayri were just great.

Economy showing signs of improvement
Spotlight On Finance
In the United States, stabilization in the housing markets and relief from worry about a fiscal crisis have allowed the U.S. economy to reaccelerate from weak fourth quarter growth. Yet there are still headwinds to faster growth. U.S. consumers remain income constrained, and business confidence is still mired at very low levels. Improving conditions overseas should generate faster global growth, but doubts about that recovery have grown.

The Evolution Of Toccara- By Bossip Staff Categories: Bangers, Blast From the Past, For Your Viewing Pleasure
Over the years fans of top model finalist Toccara Jones have seen the boisterous beauty go from America's favorite toned and thick model to a petite and perky little Betty.
When she first appeared on Tyra Banks' reality show, the Dayton Ohio native put on for plus size women showing off her trademark curves and snuffing out her slimmer competition. And now although there's less of her, Toccara's just a voluptuous with a personality just as big to match.
So let's applaud Ms. Jones, and take a look at this top model's dramatic weight loss. (Continue)

Increase the availability of drinking water and irrigation for crops, reduce incidence of water borne diseases, and ease everyday drudgery on women by promoting traditional water harvesting structures
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Lack of water and frequent droughts in the Thar Desert impacts the socio-economic status of the desert community. Shortage of drinking water poses severe health risks as manifested through water-borne diseases and severe dehydration. Socially, the biggest impact is on women. They spend hours each day walking miles in search of water under extremely hot and harsh conditions. Young girls, too, need to go and fetch water which deprives them from going to schools.
How will this project solve this problem?
Develop drought-preparedness among desert communities through training and capacity building; constructing traditional water harvesting structures through community contribution (cash, kind, and labor); involving community in upkeep of structures.
Potential Long Term Impact
The guarantee of safe, secure water removes the stress and worry that preoccupies residents of the Thar. The revival of traditional rain harvesting systems will bring safe drinking water, save time that women labor and help socio-economic stability

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) has called on the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to immediately end its campaign for the promotion of vegetarianism due to its stigmatizing image and portrayal of obese/overweight individuals. The OAC believes this campaign is completely inappropriate as no individual should be stigmatized based on their size or weight.
The campaign boasts a billboard with the text "Save the Whales - Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian" and features an image of an overweight woman in a bikini. "This campaign blatantly stigmatizes the overweight and obese. The OAC fails to find the informational value of promoting vegetarianism through the hurtfulness of mocking the obese," said Joseph Nadglowski, OAC President and CEO.
With more than 93 million Americans affected by obesity, this type of unacceptable stigmatization of obese/overweight individuals has no place in today's society. Obese individuals are often stigmatized or discriminated against in a variety of areas, such as employment, school, healthcare and much more. The OAC finds obesity stigma to be extremely detrimental to the obese population as it furthers the all-too-frequent negative perceptions of the obese. The OAC demands PETA immediately end the campaign and remove the billboard from the public domain and the PETA Web site. In addition, the OAC is currently encouraging its Coalition members to respond directly to PETA about this inappropriate campaign. If you are not a member of the Coalition, but would also like to respond, please visit the OAC Web site at www.obesityaction.org for more information.

The effect of long-term homocysteine-lowering on carotid intima-media thickness and flow-mediated vasodilation in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial and meta-analysis

Experimental and epidemiological evidence suggests that homocysteine (tHcy) may be a causal risk factor for atherosclerosis. B-vitamin supplements reduce tHcy and improve endothelial function in short term trials, but the long-term effects of the treatment on vascular structure and function are unknown.
We conducted a sub-study of VITATOPS, a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention trial designed to test the efficacy of long term B-vitamin supplementation (folic acid 2 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg and vitamin B12 0.5 mg) in the prevention of vascular events in patients with a history of stroke. We measured carotid intima-medial thickness (CIMT) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) at least two years after randomisation in 162 VITATOPS participants. We also conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies designed to test the effect of B-vitamin treatment on CIMT and FMD.
After a mean treatment period of 3.9 ± 0.9 years, the vitamin-treated group had a significantly lower mean plasma homocysteine concentration than the placebo-treated group (7.9 μmol/L, 95% CI 7.5 to 8.4 versus 11.8 μmol/L, 95% CI 10.9 to 12.8, p < 0.001). Post-treatment CIMT (0.84 ± 0.17 mm vitamins versus 0.83 ± 0.18 mm placebo, p = 0.74) and FMD (median of 4.0%, IQR 0.9 to 7.2 vitamins versus 3.0%, IQR 0.6 to 6.6 placebo, p = 0.48) did not differ significantly between groups. A meta-analysis of published randomised data, including those from the current study, suggested that B-vitamin supplements should reduce CIMT (-0.10 mm, 95% CI -0.20 to -0.01 mm) and increase FMD (1.4%, 95% CI 0.7 to 2.1%). However, the improvement in endothelial function associated with homocysteine-lowering treatment was significant in short-term studies but not in longer trials.
Although short-term treatment with B-vitamins is associated with increased FMD, long-term homocysteine-lowering did not significantly improve FMD or CIMT in people with a history of stroke.

What Did Justin Bieber Get for His Birthday?
PR NEWSWIRE/Newscom
PR NEWSWIRE/Newscom
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Oh hey, the Biebs is turning 18 today, and while he's been telling fans that he's just going to "hang out with my friends and family... nothing too crazy," Seacrest seems to have other plans.
The pop star called into Seacrest's radio show, and Seacrest pulled out his present with some fanfare. "I couldn't give it to you until you were 18," Seacrest told him, saying it would provide "endless fun and it only complements any type of relationship anybody is in."
So what did the now-legal Bieber get? "I've gotten you a Costco membership," Seacrest said. "I mean, think of the endless fun you can have with jugs of salsa and buckets of hummus."
Bieber, ever the gentleman, replied, "It's gonna be amazing I can't wait." It's probably not as awesome as his purple pool table, though, or the eco-friendly car he got on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. And if you're in a giving mood, Bieber is promoting Charity Water again this year, asking fans to donate $18 for clean water.

Method #4: siRNA
Expression Vectors
Most siRNA expression vectors rely on an RNA polymerase III (pol III) promoter to drive the expression of a small hairpin siRNA in mammalian cells (14). RNA pol III was chosen to drive siRNA expression because it naturally expresses relatively large amounts of small RNAs in mammalian cells, it terminates transcription upon incorporating a string of 1-4 uridines, and its transcripts lack poly(A) tails.
To use siRNA expression vectors, two oligodeoxynucleotides encoding the desired short hairpin RNA sequence are ordered, annealed, and cloned into the vector downstream of the promoter. Because cloning is involved, the procedure takes several days, and sequencing the region containing the insert is required. However, this limitation is balanced by the ability to produce large quantities of vector once the vector is shown to work well in gene silencing experiments.
Without a question, the main advantage of siRNA
expression vectors is that they are amenable to long term studies. Vectors
with antibiotic resistance markers can be used to reduce the expression
of targeted genes for several weeks or longer. Transient selection of
cells transfected with selectable marker containing plasmids also permits
the enrichment of cell

Get Campaign Updates:
Representing Ward 3 on the City Council has been the greatest honor I ever had. I feel fortunate to live in an extraordinary part of an extraordinary city and be able to work towards progress on behalf of my community.
Ward 3 is a diverse place, but I believe we are united by many common principles. After one term, I am more convinced than ever that positive change is possible when we work together.
Finally, while I try to bring optimism to this job, I believe the City Council can continue to do better. We must constantly try to improve, and I am including some ideas below that I would like to explore to help the Council better serve the public.
p.s. - Join me for my Campaign Kickoff on Tuesday, June 30th!
Progressive Utilities ReformWe should reform our water and sewer rates to make them more progressive and give low-income people a break. To do this, we can explore ideas like tiered fees to reward conservation as well as discounts for low-income seniors.
Modernizing Council RulesWe should revamp the Council's rules and committee system just as the Mayor has overhauled the executive branch. Among the changes I will put forward will be creating a new committee tasked with finding ways to work regionally and to propose more special legislation to the legislature that would benefit Northampton.
Our Local EconomyIt's time for a fresh look at our local economic challenges. We must take sensible steps like improving downtown parking, but also not shy away from big ideas. For example, we can explore a self-financing municipal broadband network, as Council President Dwight has suggested and other communities have done.
We must also strengthen our creative economy. I will work to ensure the new Center for the Arts enjoys a stronger partnership with the city, and look for new opportunities to allow the arts to prosper here.
AffordabilityThis is possibly our greatest challenge as a city. We need to take a serious look at the entire range of affordability. No single solution will emerge, but we cannot ignore the problem. Northampton loses something special when people are squeezed out because the city is unaffordable to those of modest means.
Our SchoolsThe mission of a public school is not just to sustain high test scores, but to help our kids grow intellectually and spiritually as human beings, and to inspire a love of learning that will support them throughout their lives.
To this end, I will continue to advocate for a progressive tax code that takes the burden off middle-income families and the poor, while funding our schools.
Revitalize Pleasant StreetPleasant Street is a vital gateway to downtown Northampton, and in many ways our second Main Street. It should be a central focus of economic and community development in Northampton. I will be an advocate for this effort at every step of the process.
Traffic andAs Chair of the Transportation and Parking Commission, I work with the Department of Public Works, Police Department and Planning to improve pedestrian safety in the City. A lot of work remains to be done, however. We need a comprehensive plan on this subject, specifically with regards to the gateways to our City such as on Bridge St, King St, and Pleasant St.
Pedestrian Safety
Environmental LeadershipI believe we can continue to make progress on issues of energy and sustainability in Northampton, despite the obstacles imposed on us by other levels of government.
Let's expand opportunities for solar energy, and explore ways to reduce waste. If we approach this challenge correctly, our efforts will also save residents money.

I have proudly represented Ward 3 on the Northampton City Council since January 2014.
I was born in Springfield in 1980 and went to public schools in the Valley, graduating from UMass in 2002. My mother and father were married at St. Mary's Church and lived for a number of years on Isabella Street. When my parents separated, my mother Laurel moved to Amherst, where I grew up. My grandfather Jim Smith was a public school teacher in Holyoke for 25 years and lived in Easthampton with my grandmother Audrey who transcribed textbooks into braille for visually impaired students.
I genuinely believe in and value public service, and I think government has a responsibility to work in the public interest. In my professional life, I worked for many years with nonprofit organizations such as Common Cause on issues of campaign finance reform, ethics and government transparency. I continue to do that kind of work today as an independent consultant.
Before joining the City Council, I was a board member of the Ward 3 Neighborhood Association and the Northampton Living Wage Coalition (now Living Wage Western Mass.) I live on Day Avenue.
Around Ward 3
|STAYING IN TOUCH - Made myself available to Ward 3 residents by phone, email and by going door to door. I also held many different issue forums and informal coffee hours.
At one of a series of "Coffee with your Councilor" constituent meetings.
|OUR STREETS - Advocated for the repaving of Pomeroy Terrace and other streets in Ward 3. Worked with residents on issues from broken streetlights and drainage problems to new signage to improve traffic conditions.
|LOCAL ISSUES - Intervened with Pan-Am Railways when it flouted anti-idling laws along North Street and worked to try and solve the problem.
Progressive Ideas
|CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM - Wrote a first of its kind ordinance to cut the amount of money in local politics in half.
Speaking about campaign finance reform at City Hall.
|SICK TIME FOR WORKERS - I voted against pay raises for the City Council and the Mayor, but I also wrote an order that would make Northampton the first city in the Commonwealth to accept the state's new Earned Sick Time legislation for other municipal workers. The debate continues about how best to implement this change.
|FOUGHT FRACKING PIPELINE - Wrote the first resolution in a Massachusetts city against a proposed fracked gas pipeline that would run through Western Mass, but do nothing to guarantee lower energy prices for residents.
Affordability and Utilities
|STORMWATER FIXES - Amended the stormwater ordinance to stop unfair billing of some property owners and to take the burden off people with smaller properties.
Local democracy in action!
|NEW HOUSING - Strengthened affordable housing standards in our zoning code. I also fought for the Valley CDC Lumber Yard project on lower Pleasant Street.
ELECTRICITY - Testified before the State Department of Public Utilities to allow Northampton residents to opt into an electricity aggregation program to save money.
Traffic and Pedestrian Issues
|TRAFFIC CALMING - As Chair of the Transportation and Parking Commission, I worked on traffic calming and improving pedestrian safety citywide.
At a public forum about Ward 3 infrastructure.
|ACCESSIBILITY - Toughened the fine for illegally parking in handicapped parking spaces.
PUBLIC TRANSIT - Testified at a PVTA hearing for the expansion of bus service connecting downtown, the Senior Center and Walter Salvo House to the Survival Center, River Valley Market, and other destinations.

BALTIMORE — A logical conclusion replaced trepidation. Last week, baseball took a huge step toward the expanded use of video replay during the 2014 season. Commissioner Bud Selig, who was slow to embrace the idea, announced the decision in Cooperstown, N.Y., the perfect backdrop for historical change.
The new system needs 75 percent of votes by team owners for approval. An agreement from the players and umpires also is required.
Baseball's replay committee, which included former managers Tony La Russa and Joe Torre, said umpires are open to the changes. If that is the case — it's hard to see how the umpires would have enough leverage to prevent this step — then this will happen. It probably will create a job for former umpires to man the new central command post at MLB headquarters in New York.
Players don't completely support it, but I can't see any way they defeat the measure. The majority I have talked to about this subject over the past five years simply wants the right calls to be made.
A series of gaffes and the continued employment of Angel Hernandez and C.B. Bucknor have proven again this year that the human eye is no longer the best tool for enforcing the rules. According to Braves president John Schuerholz, 89 percent of calls that were missed in the past will be reviewable. This list obviously doesn't include balls and strikes. Having replay for ball-and-strike calls would turn games into slumber parties, forcing fans to come to ballparks with sleeping bags, Snuggies and s'mores.
It's hard to fashion an argument against additional replay. It's long been idiotic that anyone with a TV, smartphone or WiFi connection could witness a mistake had occurred but nothing done about it. Pretty much everyone but the actual umpires.
Missed calls have always influenced the games, with purists embracing the human element. But that was before technology reached the point where robot umps seem like a realistic alternative. Or at least an iPhone app.
"Pretty soon umpires might be completely replaced with the way technology is going," said Rockies pitcher Roy Oswalt.
The replay rules are simple, though probably will require tweaks as things play out. Managers will be allowed one challenge before the sixth inning and two after the seventh inning until the completion of the game. It puts pressure on managers to use it at the right time, as wasting a challenge could prove costly. And unlike football, there won't be an eye in the sky telling them whether to throw the red flag or not.
"That's all going to have to be worked out. Are you going to have the video guy yelling to someone in the hall to challenge the call? How much time do you have to decide?" said Rockies manager Walt Weiss. "Will it be like football that it's over once they run a play? So will they hurry to throw a pitch?"
The issue isn't replay. It's the execution. Baseball is slower than a DMV line, so adding yet another delay would be unspeakably awful. These challenges can't take longer than 90 seconds. There's no reason for the umpires to leave the field. Let the ump in New York buzz the crew chief "out, safe or inconclusive" and move on.
"It's a hard job. I am shocked at how many calls they get right. Because I am on the field, and I have no idea a lot of times," first baseman Todd Helton said. "At the end of the day, we just want the calls correct."
It's no longer safe or prudent for tradition to stand in the way of progress. The technology exists to implement change. There's no reason for further review.
Footnotes. Alex Rodriguez said Friday he didn't rat out players in the Biogenesis investigation as the CBS program "60 Minutes" alleges that members of his inner circle did. For all of his failings, throwing opposing players under the bus would rank as a new low, even for A-Rod. If proven, I am not sure how he could ever walk into a major- league clubhouse again. ... Love that pitchers Eddie Butler and Jonathan Gray were moved up in the Rockies' farm system. Let's hope that pitching coordinator Mark Wiley continues to have influence on the young arms. I wouldn't be shocked to see Gray get a few innings with Double-A Tulsa before season's end. ... It's too bad Charlie Manuel couldn't have retired gracefully at season's end. The Phillies started the Ryne Sandberg era with 44 games remaining. Manuel deserves a lot of credit for winning in a city that has devoured coaches and managers in all major pro sports.

Any are better than no treatment at all, study shows
THURSDAY, May 7 (HealthDay News) --Lowering blood pressure is essential for reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, but which drugs are best has been a matter of debate.
Now, two new analyses attempt to answer that question.
Their conclusions: For heart attacks, all antihypertensive drugs work, with the exception of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), probably because there aren't enough studies to confirm their benefit. For stroke, all antihypertensive drugs were better than placebo, but diuretics, ARBs or calcium channel blockers were significantly better than beta blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Both reports were presented Wednesday at the American Society of Hypertension's annual meeting, in San Francisco.
"Physicians and patients should be reassured that, based on all the world's literature, sliced and diced in many ways, subjected to two separate and distinct types of meta-analyses, antihypertensive drugs do reduce the risk of the two most feared endpoints related to hypertension: heart disease and stroke," said lead researcher Dr. William J. Elliott, a professor of preventive medicine, internal medicine and pharmacology at Rush Medical College in Chicago.
For the first study, Elliott's team analyzed data from 57 trials that looked at treatment for high blood pressure and the reduction of heart attack risk.
The researchers found that, except for ARBs, all drugs were significantly better than placebo or no treatment in lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease. Among all the drugs, ACE inhibitors were slightly better, however, the difference was not statistically significant.
These findings confirm other research that has shown that ARBs may not be as effective at preventing heart attack as other blood pressure drugs, and that ACE inhibitors are especially effective at p

A consensus appears to be slowly building for a carpaccio-slice interest rate cut from the European Central Bank next month.
More hope than conviction for euro zone inflation rebound
ECB President Mario Draghi has a friend in euro zone economists of late. They tend to line up and take his view, at least when it comes to forecasting inflation.
Euro zone inflation falls again; economists base ECB rate cut calls on deja vu
Euro zone inflation has dipped again and some forecasters are hedging their bets on the policy response by saying the European Central Bank could either cut rates this week or sometime in the next two months.
Another backhand volley from forward guidance
Forward guidance is quickly proving to be rather backward.
While it's a favourite game of every punter who's not paid to make predictions to trash the track record of those who are, just about everyone who follows the European Central Bank was stunned by the timing of its decision to cut rates on Thursday.
ECB rate cut takes markets by surprise – time to crack Draghi's code
After today's surprise ECB move it is safe to forget the code words former ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet never grew tired of using – monitoring closely, monitoring very closely, strong vigilance, rate hike. (No real code language ever emerged for rate cuts, probably because there were only a few and that was towards the end of Trichet's term.)
Reading the ECB runes, March edition
Economists seeking insight into the kind of analysis the European Central Bank is using to support its policy decisions can get hints from its monthly bulletin. Not for everyone, but here's what is in March's edition:

Tour provides insight to all Habitat has to offer in Indian River County
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Even though they've never hammered a nail, Michele and Michael Witt are big supporters of Habitat for Humanity.
That's why they joined a Gifford and South Vero Beach tour last weekend to visit a project sponsored by the nonprofit organization.
The Witts are part-time residents of John's Island but live most of the year in London, England. During the tour at the South Vero Beach project called Grace Woods West — a 19-home development off 11th Street Southwest in South Vero Beach — the Witts talked with Caroline Anderson, who is putting the finishing touches on her new home just off Oslo Road.
Anderson, who expects to move into the home in March with her three children, said that the Habitat for Humanity homeownership program has been "a blessing" for her family.
"I love my new house," Anderson said. "I knew that it would require a lot of work but it's worth it to me to have my own place. It's been a long time coming."
Her 13-year-old son Humberto Hill said he is looking forward to the day when he can call the three-bedroom, two-bath house his home.
"I think I am going to love living here," said Humberto, as he watched tour participants walked through the almost-completed home. "I even told my mom I was going to help keep it clean."
At the start of the bus tour, Habitat President/CEO Andy Bowler told about 35 participants that he hoped the event would clear up some misconceptions about Habitat for Humanity.
"Hopefully, you will enlightened by what you see today," said Bowler. "Indian River County's Habitat for Humanity is not your daddy's Habitat."
Bowler said that the biggest fallacy is that Habitat gives homes away to the working poor. Instead, the nonprofit makes no-interest loans available to new potential homebuyers, who must attend 13 required classes and contribute at least 300 hours of sweat equity or volunteer hours to Habitat.
"Habitat is a hands-up program, not a handout," said Bowler." We think we create homeowners, not just homes."
Dr. Joyce Reier from Timonium said she was happy she decided to participate in the tour, and was grateful for the chance to see the Habitat program in action.
"I thought it was just wonderful," said Reier, who spends the winter in Vero Beach. "I never realized how much sweat equity people had to put in as part of Habitat. There is certainly a big commitment on their part."
Don Poust has been a volunteer for the Habitat program for 10 years, and was working on a home at Grace Woods West that was sponsored by residents of the Grand Harbor community. Poust, who is retired, helped install switch-plate covers and finished up some trim work on a home that will be occupied by the Chery/Carilus family.
"I've been volunteering with Habitat since October, 2000," said Poust. "I think it's a great program because the houses are not just given to people. They have to work for them."
Bowler said that the Habitat program has attracted people who otherwise never qualify for a traditional home mortgage.
"In this economy, things are a lot tougher for people than they were a few years ago," he said. "It's the school bus drivers, the waitresses, the landscapers, who need help with housing. These people are working hard but can't afford to pay high rents. We provide an opportunity for them to get a simple, decent home they can call their own."
Indian River County's Habitat for Humanity program was established in 1991. Since that time, Indian River Habitat has built more than 275 homes throughout the county, from Fellsmere on the north to the Oslo Park area in the south county.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
Jason Dasey | 10 Dec 2011 13:48 GMT | Sport, Football
Their shock exit from the UEFA Champions League this week could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Manchester United. Not only does it allow the Red Devils to concentrate on their domestic campaign, but it will almost certainly force Sir Alex Ferguson's hand in spending big to secure the creative midfielder that the club so desperately need after the retirement of Paul Scholes. The disastrous 2-1 defeat at Basel also raised doubts over the readiness of some of Sir Alex's youngsters to consistently compete at the top level.
Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda – all 22 years old or younger – were part of the sorry cast at St Jakob Park.
Injuries or suspension meant that the likes of Javier Hernandez, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Carrick, Anderson and Tom Cleverley were all unavailable for matchday six as United became the first ever Champions League finalists to be knocked out in the first round of the following season. As former skipper Roy Keane harshly remarked from the analyst's chair on British television: "Everybody's building them up but it's a reality check for some. I'd be getting hold of some of these lads, saying 'you'd better buck up your ideas'".
Unconvincing The European letdown followed some unconvincing performances in English action.
Although the champions have lost just one of their past seven league matches, they had failed to score more than a single goal since October 1 before Saturday's home game against Wolves. United are now likely to give the Europa League as much importance as the Carling Cup, from which they were dumped out last week in the quarter-finals by Crystal Palace. The slightly surreal scenario of both Manchester clubs in Europe's secondary Cup competition will surely intensify the battle for the English Premier League crown and make it even more of a two-horse race. For City, their failure to advance to the Champions League knockout stages somehow seems less of a disaster. This goes beyond the impressive way they rounded off the group stages with a 2-0 victory over Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich. The pressure at Eastlands was eased last week when City owner Sheikh Mansour declared that the premiership was the number-one priority.
It would be unimaginable to expect such a statement to come from the management at Old Trafford or even Stamford Bridge where Andre Villas-Boas bought himself some more time with Chelsea's final day heroics.
History repeating
The predicted shoot-out between the cross-town rivals for league honours has parallels to the 1967-1968 season when the blue end of Manchester pipped the red side for glory. City had finished a disappointing 14th the previous campaign as United won their seventh title from Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.
And the following season they seemed on course to defend their crown as they led by four points with four games to go in the days that wins were worth only two points. But the Citizens reeled in their rivals and clinched the championship with a 4-3 victory at Newcastle United on the last day of the season as the Devils lost 2-0 at Sunderland. In 1967-68, Man United had the distraction of the European Cup, albeit in an abbreviated, knockout form compared to today's more demanding Champions League.
They would become the first English team to lift the trophy after beating Benfica in the final at Wembley Stadium. Brian Kidd, the current assistant manager to Roberto Mancini, scored one of the goals in extra time as Bobby Charlton's team prevailed 4-1. As a long-time number-two to Sir Alex Ferguson in the 1990s, Kidd will know all about the resilience of his former boss.
As bleak as things now appear, the Scot will have a plan to turn things around by the time he turns 70 on December 31.
Tough times ahead
From next weekend, United face five games in 17 days. Even though their upcoming opponents are all in the lower half of the table, it will be a stern test of their resolve, given their depleted resources. If it goes according to plan, their confidence will be restored when their mouth-watering FA Cup third round tie against Manchester City rolls around on January 8.
If not, their hopes could be in tatters by the time Sir Alex can replenish his squad in next month's transfer window. With captain Nemanja Vidic added to the growing injury list after being carried off against Basel with a season-ending knee injury, Sir Alex will again have to get it done with smoke, mirrors and magic.
And it won't be the first time that the gruff Glaswegian delves into his managerial box of tricks. Keane's cutting words won't be lost on his former manager – nor the young charges now contemplating their costly return of one point from two matches against European lightweights Basel in the Champions League. But it may not be the right time for the famous hairdryer treatment. Instead a morale-boosting "I know you can do it" chat and fatherly arm around the shoulders might be a better recipe for redemption for the greener members of this shell-shocked squad.

Police charged a city firefighter with attempted first-degree murder Sunday after witnesses said he fired a handgun at a bicyclist along Tunnel Road, barely missing his skull.
Charles Alexander Diez, 42, apparently fired at the Asheville man after arguing with him about riding his bike on the busy road with his 3-year-old child in a bike seat behind him, Asheville Police Capt. Tim Splain said.
Diez was driving his car off Interstate 40 at Exit 55 at about 11:24 a.m., when he saw Alan Ray Simons and his wife riding bikes up the road with Simons' 3-year-old son in the bike seat, he said. ...

1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes, zucchini, carrots and beets. Peel the onions and leave whole. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Core and seed the bell peppers and cut into strips. Place all the vegetables together in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients to make a topping.
3. Pour topping over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly. Pour vegetables into a roasting pan and roast until they become tender, (about an hour) turning them over and brushing on more topping from the roasting pan, every 15 minutes.
4. Serve immediately.
