Update on ManuelManuel is 72 years old and is married. He has on child and lives with his wife and daughter in the canton of Chillanes located in the province of Bolívar. Manuel makes a living in agriculture planting corn, beans, peas, and lentils, etc.
He is requesting a loan to buy necessary supplies like one quintal [100 lbs.] of urea, two quintales [200 lbs.] of manure, and three liters of fertilizers to fumigate. "With the help from this loan I will have notably improved harvests and will be able to give my daughter a better style of life." He frequently purchases agricultural supplies in the canton of Chillanes every eight days.
His dream is to see his daughter progress in her studies and to increase his income so that he can have a better style of life and increase his crops. The challenges he faces are bad roads, bad weather that can damage his crops, and the loss of his harvests.
In his free time he likes to go out with his family, watch soccer matches, and go listen to the Carnaval.
Manuel se dedica a la agricultura siembra maíz, frejol, arveja, lenteja, etc.
Solicita el préstamo para comprar insumos necesarios como urea 1qq, abono 2qq y fertilizantes 3 litros para fumigar.
Con la ayudad del crédito tendré una notable mejora en las cosechas y así podre darle un mejor estilo de vida a mi hija.
Las compras de insumos agrícolas lo realizan con frecuencia en el Cantón Chillanes cada ocho días.
El sueño es ver a su hija progresar en sus estudios, e incrementar sus ingresos para tener un mejor estilo de vida y aumentar sus sembríos.
Los desafíos a los que se enfrenta son las vías en mal estado, que el mal tiempo podría dañar sus sembríos y perdería sus cosechas.
En el tiempo libre le gusta salir de paseo junto a su familia, ver partidos de futbol, y escuchar el Carnaval.

About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Narrow focus
I was excited to see "The digital church" cover story, but my joy was squelched when the articles addressed only one facet of new media in congregations today: service to the homebound. Certainly this is one use for digital media, and your articles addressed it admirably. But to proclaim that the issue was about the digital church and then confine the articles to such a narrow focus seems ill-informed and represents the struggle that the church has in general. The front photograph with a geriatric hand and tablet gave it all away — this is an article about serving a dying church. Had you been up-front in acknowledging that the emphasis was on using digital media to serve homebound members I would have applauded. That is a valid and important use for these powerful tools. But to proclaim that the article was about the digital church was disingenuous and reflected a less-than-sophisticated understanding of the power that social media brings to the ELCA.

On the ball
Kudos to Presiding Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton for her insightful column "Shout-out for Team ELCA". I see her as a "player coach" holding out for nothing less than the fulfillment of Jesus' high priestly prayer in John 17. Or to paraphrase the Ascension Day message: "Jesus at 33 took early retirement and sent the Holy Spirit to carry out his work through 'Team Church.' "
Lester W. Hoffmann
Look for the moments
I was really touched by the article on children in worship (May, page 26). As a pastor's wife, I'm outnumbered by our two young kids, who feel (blessedly) right at home in the worship space and sometimes forget their "church manners." Our congregation seems to be much less concerned about the distractions my kids cause than I am. I keep reminding myself that our baptismal promise was that we would show up, not that we would be perfectly quiet and fully attentive. It's often frustrating and stressful to make it through the service, but as the article points out, it's those moments when you hear them singing the alleluia or see them enthusiastically sharing the peace that make it all worthwhile.

Pope on target
A letter writer in May (page 49) said no more on the pope because "the Roman Catholic Church is the first and continuing separator of people who try to be believers from the truth in God." Pope Francis is reaching out to all people. This one quote from him — "We can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter" — I will never forget. I hope and pray all religious leaders will do the same. Being joined together is the way God wanted us to behave in the first place. I am a Lutheran and I would like you to burden me anytime with "such spiritual sloppiness," as the writer put it.

Getting it wrong
Members who feel that the drop-off in giving (June, page 48) is related to social ministries fighting discrimination, whether against sexual orientation, skin color, language or other "markers" of being others, are correct — maybe not biblically but psychologically. Money is not the real issue. If we were willing to love, our churches might not be rich but they would be full of people. Our conversation needs to move from the abstract, man-made symbol of money to the reality, divine, emotional, human element of love. We don't need to be distracted from reality by worry about funds to do this, that or the other. We need to talk, and pray, about what it means to withhold love from each other, and to refuse to accept love from each other. Money is a phony issue, a way to talk around the reality of our feelings.

While HIV may take the spotlight in terms of media coverage and attention to sexual health, other STDs deserve equal consideration, says Dr. John Toney, a professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine's infectious-diseases division. STD prevention and control efforts face similar challenges to those reported by Polk County HIV/AIDS outreach workers, he said.
"We still have issues in the United States talking about sexuality," said Toney, who is also affiliated with the Southeast Regional STD-HIV Prevention Training Center in Tampa. "There are beliefs we have to look at."
Almost half of new STD infections are in people ages 15-24, with chlamydia skyrocketing and syphilis making inroads, especially among men. STDs cost the US health system as much as $15.3 billion a year, CDC estimates.
People infected with gonorrhea or syphilis are two to five times more likely than those uninfected to contract HIV sexually, according to CDC. Syphilis and herpes can produce sores and ulcers that make it easier to acquire HIV. "You need less virus to cause an infection," Toney said. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can also make it easier to contract HIV.
In 2006, African-American women were 16 times more likely to have syphilis than white women, 15 times more likely to have gonorrhea and seven times more likely to have chlamydia, according to the Black AIDS Institute's "State of AIDS in Black America 2009" report. In 2007, black teens ages 15-19 had the highest rate of chlamydia of any group.
The Tampa center, which trains health care providers in diagnosing, treating, and managing STDs and HIV, is supported by CDC and the Hillsborough County Health Department.

State Sen. Barbara Buono, D-Middlesex, is the first Democrat to announce she will run against Governor Christie in next year's gubernatorial election. She said yesterday she will file papers to become a candidate.
While she is the first Democrat to enter the race, she is unlikely to be the last. Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, are also mulling gubernatorial runs. Christie announced last month he will run for re-election.
An analysis by The Record's Anthony Campisi indicates that it remains unclear whether Christie's latest two nominees to the state Supreme Court would toe the governor's desired conservative line if they make it onto the court.
Campisi reports that both nominees, David F. Bauman and Robert M. Hanna, have shown an independent streak.
An Assembly committee approved a package of bills yesterday aimed at spurring job growth. One bill would pay an unemployed person a weekly stipend for participating in an on-the-job training program. The worker could continue receiving unemployment insurance benefits during the training. Another measure would give small businesses a tax credit for hiring someone who was unemployed.
And Christie was also talking about jobs yesterday. He announced three new state grant programs totaling $26 million, aimed at helping create and retain jobs in New Jersey in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy.

Success breeds admiration. Repetitive success can breed contempt.
The Yankees are loved, and hated. So are the Cowboys and the Lakers.
The Columbus East football team is beginning to find out what it's like in their world.
East might not be a De La Salle High School, but it certainly has been the Yankees, Cowboys and Lakers, all rolled into one, of the Hoosier Hills Conference in football.
The Olympians have won 46 consecutive conference games, and they are 66-1 in conference play since 2003, losing only a 33-30 decision to Bedford North Lawrence in 2006.
I covered De La Salle High School's football team in Concord, Calif., several times from 1992 through 2004 when it ran off a 151-game winning streak, the longest in history. This was a Catholic school coached by Bob Ladouceur, a man of impeccable integrity. Even so, it would be fair to say some people downright hated De La Salle.
Ladouceur had found a formula for success, and most of it had to do with hard work. But word spread. The Spartans were cheaters. They recruited the best players away from other programs. They paid for players to enroll. They won because they had a distinct advantage.
Of course, they won because the players at De La Salle simply spent more hours in the weight room, more hours conditioning and more hours studying film than their opponents.
Did they have an advantage because of their reputation and because very good football players might move close to the school so they could be involved with the program? Sure. They earned that right.
At De La Salle, they circled the wagons and continued to take care of business.
Now take a look at East. Gaddis often says the school district has given him the necessary tools to produce a successful program. Certainly, that is true.
The Olympians train in a beautiful weight room. They football field is first class all the way.
But the heart and soul of the program is a coaching staff willing to work countless hours to make all those wins happen. And it takes a special kind of inspiration to get students to sacrifice all those other fun activities that teens do to become a football juggernaut.
Tonight at 7 p.m., East hosts a Jeffersonville team that wants nothing more than to knock the Olympians down a peg or two. I guarantee you that the only fans rooting for East will be the ones right here in Columbus. The rest of the Hoosier Hills Athletic Conference will be hoping the Red Devils can pull an upset. People like to see the mighty fall.
Lonnie Oldham took over at Jeffersonville last season. After a 5-5 year in 2011, he has the Red Devils ready to challenge for the HHC championship. Believe me, he wants a piece of what Gaddis has created. The Olympians might not be popular, but everyone wants to be them.
Will tonight be the night that East gets knocked off? I doubt it. Jeffersonville has a ton of talent and a program that is building. But these are, after all, the Yankees, or Olympians, and they play their best in the spotlight.
Like it or not, there will be one word that will best describe the Olympians after tonight's game.

ABANDONED animals at a Shannons Flat property were left for days without food or water because their care was outside the owners' 'management capabilities.'
As a result, six animal cruelty charges were brought against the owner which involved pain to the animals, providing insufficient food and shelter or adequate exercise space.
Five dogs were in cages. Eight sheep had no food and only a small amount of water and one had very bad flystrike.
Corey Stewart Fenwick, 19, of Coila NSW pleaded guilty to the charges at Cooma Local Court on January 7.
He was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service work on each charge, some to be undertaken concurrently, which means he will perform a total of 300 hours.
The Court was told that he rented the property where he lived with his partner and two children.
In addition to the dogs and sheep, there were four horses. However, one horse fell into a septic tank and drowned, which caused a rift with the landlord.
Mr Fenwick moved out and 'abandoned' the property, leaving the horses in a paddock, the dogs in small cages, and the sheep in a home made shed.
The dogs included a large Bull Mastiff, a Great Dane type, a Staffordshire Cross and a Staffordshire Terrier. It was many days before their condition was discovered and they were very aggressive - one had to be destroyed.
By way of explanation, Mr Fenwick said he was unable to care for the animals as planned. It was outside his management capabilities.
The Court is considering the question of veterinary costs and will give a determination in February.

Maybe You Got Sprayed With Toxic Oil in Midtown Today
Hopefully not!
Four unlucky people, including the oil-truck driver, were doused with very dangerous heating fluid called "number 6" on Seventh Avenue and 36th Street this morning when 50 gallons spilled from a pump (and dripped down into the subway). One man had time to tell the local news that he and his wife "both got oil in our eyes" before getting decontaminated. Number 6, CBS reports, "is described as one of the dirtiest and most toxic forms of heating fuel," and should be phased out by 2015, so this shouldn't happen too many more times.

Historical path to Christmas Day
Published: Friday, December 18, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 5:39 p.m.
To The Editor: No one knows exactly what time of the year Jesus was born.
If the Gospel of Luke is accurate, it was probably in the spring of the
year. That is the only time the shepherds watched their flocks by night
because that is when sheep have their young. The ewes often needed help
with the birthing process and the newborn lambs were in danger from animals
of prey.
In ancient times, the Romans celebrated the Feast of Saturn, the sun god,
as the birth of the sun on the winter solstice, December 25 by the Julian
calendar. It was a festive occasion, with feasting and gift-giving. Many
Christians participated. In AD 354, Bishop Liberius of Rome ordered the
Christians to celebrate December 25th as the birthday of Jesus to quell
their participation in a pagan holiday.
After the changeover to the Gregorian calendar, December 25th no longer
fell on the winter solstice, but several days later. The day we celebrate
Christmas has its roots in a pagan holiday.

I'll probably mess around a bit with the dailies I never got to due to the Golden Lotus rep gating. Mostly staying casual, working up some pets for pet battles (I just started these), trying out some of the new stuff, working on archaeology and some achievements.

Algieri is Ready for a World-Class Rumble!
Photos by Peter Frutkoff
"The Pride of Huntington" Chris Algieri recently allowed FightNews to photograph his workout at his gym in Bellmore, NY.
Algieri (19-0, 8 KOs) has over the last 18 months elevated himself to a world-class contender after accumulating significant victories over top prospect Jose Alejo, former USBA champion Mike Arnaoutis, and most recently highly-rated contender Emmanuel Taylor in February.
He's as much a scholar as he is a brawler. He graduated from Stony Brook University with Honors in 2007 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Care Management and then went on to receive his Masters degree from the New York Institute of Technology.
He aspires to attend Medical School.
But before he hits the books to become a doctor, he will step into the ring this Saturday to battle WBO jr welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16 KOs).
Provodnikov is nicknamed the "Siberian Rocky" because of his savage style.
Algieri is a skilled fighter and it is his technical prowess that gives him a fighting chance against an all-out power-punching brawler such as Provodnikov.
Provodnikov versus Algieri will take place Saturday, June 14th, at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The fight will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark, beginning at 10p ET.

Anyone else have kids at home singing "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen?
It's pretty non-stop at our house. First, it was the movie. Then, the sing-a-long came out – so we headed back with our girls for round two. And, when the movie came out on Apple TV, we snatched it up immediately which means endless fun at home or, when we're traveling, on iPads.
Frozen is huge, and so is the soundtrack. Just this week it became the longest-running #1 soundtrack by an animated film, just passing The Lion King. Wow.
Last night, my wife caught my kids having a little fun with the song before bed. Enjoy. 🙂

I thought I was an acceptable kind of evangelical.
I'm not a fundamentalist. My friends and I enjoy art, alcohol, and cultural engagement.
We avoid spiritual clichés and buzzwords. We value authenticity, study, racial reconciliation, and social and environmental justice.
Being a Christian made me somewhat weird in my urban, progressive context, but despite some clear differences, I held a lot in common with unbelieving friends. We could disagree about truth, spirituality, and morality, and remain on the best of terms. The failures of the church often made me more uncomfortable than those in the broader culture.
Then, two years ago, the student organization I worked for at Vanderbilt University got kicked off campus for being the wrong kind of Christians.
In May 2011, Vanderbilt's director of religious life told me that the group I'd helped lead for two years, Graduate Christian Fellowship—a chapter of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship—was on probation. We had to drop the requirement that student leaders affirm our doctrinal and purpose statement, or we would lose our status as a registered student organization.
I met with him to understand the change. During the previous school year, a Christian fraternity had expelled several students for violating their behavior policy. One student said he was ousted because he is gay. Vanderbilt responded by forbidding any belief standards for those wanting to join or lead any campus group.
In writing, the new policy refers only to constitutionally protected classes (race, religion, sexual identity, and so on), but Vanderbilt publicly adopted an "all comers policy," which meant that no student could be excluded from a leadership post on ideological grounds. College Republicans must allow Democrats to seek office; the environmental group had to welcome climate-change skeptics; and a leader of a religious group could not be dismissed if she renounced faith midyear. (The administration ...

Has your marriage been affected by the recession?

Commentary on popular culture and society, from a (mostly) psychological perspective
Labels: interesting books, politics
What's so unfunny?
That's what some comics - citing the scarcity of satire directed at President Obama and his administration - want to know.
Claiming that his peers are "panicky" about "being called a racist," stand-up legend Jackie Mason said too many once-fearless satirists are settling for "hero worship" of the new U.S. president.
The Great Presidential Comedy Drought of 2009 can't be chalked off to a lack of satirical fodder, said comic Jeffrey Jena, founder of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy blog. ("Looking at politics and life from the right side," proclaims its motto.)
"Letterman used to do a 'Bushism of the Week.' " Why hasn't he started one with Obama?" Mr. Jena said. "There's plenty of those moments, the 'Ohs, and 'Umms' or 'I don't speak Austrian.' "
Comedian Nick DiPaolo said that although the new administration provides an opening for conservative humorists, that won't mean they suddenly start appearing on Mr. Letterman's couch.
Mr. DiPaolo, who mixes conservative-friendly material into his act, said the people behind the major entertainment shows "aren't going to let someone right of center jump into the arena."
Radio and Fox News Channel talk show host Glenn Beck, who kicks off a six-city stand-up comedy tour on June 1 in Denver, suggested that both fear and political calculation are inhibiting factors. Comedians like Mr. Letterman are "either afraid, or they know the power of comedy as a weapon and they like using it as that," he said.
Lifetime TV announced the launch of its new, father-bashing reality show Deadbeat Dads last week, and Lifetime received several thousand protest letters, calls and faxes last week. This week we take our protest to the Hearst Corporation, which owns much of Lifetime TV.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Deadbeat Dads, originally developed at Fox, follows National Child Support founder Jim Durham as he tracks down and confronts dads who don't pay child support." According to Reuters, Durham "functions as a sort of 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' for tracking deadbeats…It's ambush reality TV." Durham will target fathers who are behind on their child support by "making their lives miserable — foreclosing on their house, repossessing their car. He will squeeze them."
Last April, Fathers & Families led a highly-publicized campaign against the show (originally called "Bad Dads") and got Fox to drop it. Now Lifetime TV, which reaches nearly 100 million households, has picked up Deadbeat Dads, which unfairly depicts divorced fathers as uncaring and selfish. Research clearly shows that most divorced dads pay their child support and remain a part of their children's lives, often under difficult circumstances. In fact, federal government data shows that the overwhelming majority of "deadbeat dads" earn poverty level wages–only 4% earn even $40,000 a year.

Before Nixon took over "John C," student behavior had gotten so bad that one teacher described it as "chaos." She eventually quit in disgust, pulled her own child from the school, and moved to a different one 45 minutes away. John C is located in a rural stretch of South Carolina near the Georgia border where all but one of the major textile plants have closed, and where the leading local employer is the school system. Nearly 90 percent of the kids at John C live below the poverty line. When Nixon went to his first PTO meeting, only about a dozen parents showed up at a school with 226 students. He still has trouble reaching many families by phone because they can't afford to put down a deposit on a landline. And yet Nixon has managed to turn John C around. It recently earned three statewide Palmetto awards, one for academic performance and two for overall improvement—the school's first such honors in its 35-year history. Not everyone agrees with his methods, but most parents and teachers will tell you he couldn't have pulled off such a turnaround without his wooden paddle.
The studies cited by opponents of corporal punishment, Dr. Baumrind contended, often do not adequately distinguish the effects of spanking, as practiced by nonabusive parents, from the impact of severe physical punishment and abuse. Nor do they consider other factors that might account for problems later in life, like whether parents are rejecting or whether defiant or aggressive children might be more likely to be spanked in the first place.
Dr. Baumrind described findings from her own research, an analysis of data from a long-term study of more than 100 families, indicating that mild to moderate spanking had no detrimental effects when such confounding influences were separated out. When the parents who delivered severe punishment -- for example, frequently spanking with a paddle or striking a child in the face -- were removed from the analysis, Dr. Baumrind and her colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Owens, found that few harmful effects linked with spanking were left. And the few that remained could be explained by other aspects of the parent-child relationship.
''When parents are loving and firm and communicate well with the child,'' Dr. Baumrind said, ''the children are exceptionally competent and well adjusted, whether or not their parents spanked them as preschoolers.''

Laura Mercier's Twilight Collection is $55, and includes several items created especially for this year's Nordstrom anniversary event (the eyeshadow quad, the eyeliner, and the lipgloss — though the color does exist as a lipstick). The lipgloss has a doe's foot applicator, though, in my opinion, the winner of the group is the eyeshadow palette.

The Developing Online Tools for Community Outreach and Mobilization (DOTCOM) program engaged media-savvy and civically-engaged youth from Armenia, Azerbaijan and the U.S. and provided training and opportunities for young people to create socially conscious media impacting communities across the U.S. and the Caucasus. The program was sponsored by the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State, and supported by a global network of organizations that include OneWorldTV, ListenUp!, Young People's Media Network and the International Youth Media Summit.
The first phase of the program began in early 2009, when ninety Armenian, American and Azerbaijani students began their online collaboration by exploring youth issues through the lens of media, ultimately creating their own documentaries, digital stories, short films, public service announcements and other media for distribution internationally.
In May 2009, the second phase of the project began. Based on their achievements in the first phase, 30 students (ten per country) were selected as program finalists, and traveled to the U.S. in July 2009 for advanced media and social action training. In March 2010, ten American high school students met their Azerbaijani and Armenian peers in Tbilisi for a two-day regional media conference to showcase their work to a global audience. American students then traveled to Azerbaijan and Armenia.
All students in DOTCOM also had an opportunity to vie for mini-grants to implement civic initiatives based on their selected social issues.

"The spiritual leaders of Muslim Chechnya have ordered that all couples who plan to marry prove they are HIV-negative, sparking outrage from activists and residents who say it violates Russian law," Reuters reports in an article that explores the growing power of the spiritual leaders in the region and how intravenous drug use (IDU) is contributing to rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in Russia. "[T]he United Nations says at least 1 million people are HIV-positive -- though Chechnya has been little affected by it," according to the news service. "'Any potential bride or groom is obliged to receive a medical certificate proving they are HIV-negative,' the Chechen mufti's press service said in a statement this week," Reuters writes. "An imam can only approve of a marriage once the HIV-negative certificate is obtained," the news service adds. The article notes "the mufti's orders have no legal weight but are generally followed because he is a respected spiritual leader and because of his ties to Chechnya's hardline leader Ramzan Kadyrov" (1/18).

BMW Unveils Updated i3 and New i Pedelec Electric Bicycle in London
Posted By Marc Carter On June 13, 2012 @ 10:00 am In automotive,Electric Cars,Green Transportation,Innovation,News | No Comments
To coincide with the opening of the world's first BMW i Store on London's Park Lane, BMW [1] has unveiled an updated i3 concept [2] and the i Pedelec concept electric bicycle. The updated i3 is based on the original concept that was unveiled at last year's Frankfurt International Motor Show, but with updates to the interior. The i Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) is set up as the perfect complement to the BMW i3. It can be folded up almost in the blink of an eye and there is room for two of them in the trunk of the BMW i3 [3]. In addition to the two vehicles, BMW will also unveil its 360° ELECTRIC package in London for the first time. This extensive range of products and services promises to provide an extremely reliable, comfortable and flexible way of experiencing the benefits of electromobility on a day-to-day basis.
The BMW i3 Concept [4] has been updated with unique interior materials based around renewable raw materials [5]. A mixture of leather, wood, wool and other renewable raw materials shapes the face of the BMW i3 Concept interior, the extensive use of natural fibers inside the car underline the premium blueprint of BMW i. The eucalyptus wood [6] used for the instruments is sourced from sustainably managed European forests. A natural tanning agent made from olive leaves is used for the leather seats and high-quality wool is used for sections of the instrument panel and door trim to lend the interior a pleasant lounge-style ambience. The BMW i3 concept has room for four passengers and is powered by a 170 horsepower electric motor. The i3, which will be the first all-electric vehicle from BMW will go into production in 2013.
The BMW i Pedelec concept electric bicycle [7] is a new innovative two-wheeler that fits in the i3 concept's trunk and adds a convenient layer to personal mobility, particularly in urban areas. The new BMW [1] i Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) Concept is a compact bicycle fitted with an electric motor that tops up the rider's muscle power with an extra dose of torque. The i Pedelec concept isn't just another e-bike as it is packed full of cool tech features, like disc brakes at the front and rear, a three-speed gear hub integrated into the motor, a lightweight frame made from aluminium and carbon fiber, a torquey electric motor complete with electronic management system and high-performance battery, and a clever folding mechanism. When the i Pedelec concept is stored in the back of the i3, it is also able to be recharged. The electric motor [8] provides assistance up to 16 mph and has a range of 16-25 miles. It takes just four hours – or 1.5 hours on a quick charge – for the empty battery to be fully recharged, either from a standard plug socket or inside the trunk of the BMW i3 Concept.
BMW's 360° ELECTRIC package combines the advantages of electric mobility with high levels of everyday reliability, convenience and flexibility. With 360° ELECTRIC, BMW i will offer a complete product and service package which BMW i3 drivers can rely on at all times, wherever they go. This package will be adaptable to a complete range of individual, user-specific mobility preferences, using innovative concepts and solutions. The 360° ELECTRIC product and service package is based on four main pillars: home charging [9], public charging [10], guaranteed mobility and, fourthly, integration with other innovative mobility concepts in order to overcome range restrictions.

A Brandon police officer has been charged with imprudent driving after a crash earlier this year.
The officer charged was driving an unmarked police vehicle, or ghost car, on Jan. 2, when the Brandon Police Service got involved with a high-speed chase roaring along Victoria Avenue. The ghost car reportedly had its lights on, and was speeding south over the Daly Overpass on 18th Street in an attempt to catch up with the chase.

text: marikson - Unregistered December 21, 2012 5:39 AM I don't think that bikes are the greatest issue in TT racing. I believe that racing skills and track knowledge are more important. It's more about rider/bike combination and in this matter McGuinness/Honda and M.Dunlop/Honda look favorites to me, but I'd putt Cummins/Yamaha 4th, behind Anstey/Honda and those two above. I do believe that Cummins will have a good shoot at the podium.

Lol I saw a titty at first glance. This is what happens when you outsource your moderation.

My first reaction was: "what is wrong with her breast?"
It's not just facebook, G+ removed a picture from my account for "being too sexy".
Facebook bans Irish town name for being "offensive"
A University of Limerick employee, Ann Marie Kennedy, has been campaigning to get her home town recognized by the social network, because so far it will not let her enter it onto her profile.
There are many unusual place names around the world, some of which mean different things in different languages. While Facebook is obviously trying to avoid people using swear words on its website, the process can be taken so far that it becomes more of an obstacle than an asset.
What is particularly ironic about this incident is that Facebook's European headquarters is in Ireland and has been since 2008, but we suppose it has yet to get used to the weird and wonderful names for certain parts of the Emerald Isle.

The Irish town incident makes me mad. Power tripping a-holes.
I've never thought much of Facebook. They would do well to remember what happens to empires when they grow too large. Google, too.
Yeah firs time i saw tits but then i realize this is not tits

When 8-Bits Is Not Enough
Posted by Mike Thompson on December 7th, 2012
There comes a time in every SoC designer's life that the marketing guys start complaining that they are losing sockets to the competition, because the chip that you designed no longer has enough performance. Nothing lasts forever and this is especially true with electronics. What is state-of-the-art today is destined to be your Momma's electronics, and sooner than you think. The performance demands for electronic applications increase at a constant rate. This is due to the combination of more stuff being added to applications over time, the convergence of functions from multiple devices into one device and the natural tendency that we all have to be less tolerant of slow functionality the longer we use a product. Oh yes, and the constant demand by marketing that engineering increase performance because they can't think of anything else to do to beat the competition.
For 30 years 8-bit processors have been the workhorses of embedded applications. You no doubt interact with dozens of 8-bitters daily and probably don't even know it. They are all around us but as the electronics in our world becomes more sophisticated 8-bit processors are becoming less and less able to keep up. To be sure, there will be 8-bitters used for many years – there are after all a few 4-bit processors that are still being used in some applications. But the time for 8-bit processors is passing as new 32-bit processors shrink to sizes that are comparable while offering an order of magnitude more performance, and advanced features that 8-bitters can only dream of.
Synopsys' ARC EM family has been developed in part to hasten the exit of 8-bit processors. Starting at fewer than 10K gates the EM family is tiny, but at 1.52 DMIPS/MHz and clock speeds above 900MHz (28nm) it offers performance that can only be obtained from a modern 32-bit architecture. Even better while increasing performance the EM family processors can reducing power consumption, because they can do a lot more work per clock so they can be put to sleep for longer periods or slowed way down. They also have the flexibility to be configured to fit into the slot that the 8-bit processor is vacating. The memory configuration of the EM family is highly malleable – you can mix different types of memories and memories that are running at different speeds. The EM processors are also highly configurable so you can tailor them specifically for the instance on your SOC.
So, with all of the things that you have to worry about why are you still trying to make do with that old 8-bitter? Make your life easy and drop a 32-bit processor in that socket. You will be happy with the result and you will love not having to listen to the marketing guys complain about losing sockets because of the performance of your design.

Permission To Pollute
A town on the Kansas prairie finds itself fighting not only a local cement plant, but the EPA.
Volland said that the Chanute plant was the second largest emitter of mercury in Kansas in 2004, one of the years the mercury emissions reached 500 pounds. "That would compare to the 170 pounds of mercury a year at a major coal-fired power plant," Volland said.
Mercury travels great distances, persists in the environment and accumulates over time. EPA is so concerned about increasing mercury concentrations across the country that it has proposed tougher emission standards for coal-fired power plants and cement kilns. The agency wants a 92 percent reduction in mercury emissions at cement kilns alone.
"Mercury can damage children's developing brains," the EPA stated in an August, 2010, news release about the proposed cement-kiln standards. "Mercury in the air eventually deposits into water, where it changes into methylmercury, a highly toxic form that builds up in fish."
"In many freshwater lakes in the United States, we've already reached the threshold of harm of methylmercury in fish tissue," added Volland. "So any additional mercury that's emitted from any facility … has the potential to increase the health impact."
If enacted, the EPA's new mercury standards for cement kilns would not apply to kilns that burn hazardous waste because of the unique standards and regulatory process that govern each type of facility.
Ash Grove's mercury emissions worried the Galemores and others in Chanute, as did the seemingly permissive emissions standards for cement kilns burning hazardous waste. So they urged state and federal regulators to conduct independent testing of air, water, sediment, and fish.
"We have no other protection than you people," pleaded family patriarch and oil driller John Galemore during sometimes testy meetings. "You are our front line and our defense. And all we're asking is that you assure us with testing that we're safe."
State and federal regulators didn't embrace such concerns—and neither did some of the Galemores' neighbors. When the family traveled to EPA's regional headquarters to discuss possible testing, Ash Grove supporters rallied employees, their families and company champions. A busload of people wearing the same "We are Chanute" T-shirts picketed and marched in front of the building while the Galemores and their allies met with regulators inside.
The protestors were eventually invited in to participate. Officials with the EPA and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) tried to explain the complex emissions standards and how they assure safety of people downwind. The standards are arcane and hard to understand, except perhaps by the small circle of regulatory officials, industry executives, and lobbyists, scientists, and lawyers fluent in the nuances. Those standards establish a complicated formula based on the precise mixture of hazardous wastes fed into the kiln, operating conditions of the kiln, emissions measurements during test burns, and computer modeling. The result is a prediction of expected exposure downwind of specific kinds of people in specific places.
As long as Ash Grove follows the formula, the regulators explained, the plant is deemed in compliance and considered safe.
But the standards allow more emissions of some toxics from kilns than from hazardous-waste incinerators. They permit what adds up to significant amounts of mercury—which the EPA is trying to come close to phasing out at cement kilns that do not burn hazardous waste. And the standards were based on what the cleanest plants achieved with existing technology—not on what might be desirable or even possible with new pollution-control methods.
The Galemores pointed out that the only real-time, independent monitoring of actual emissions in Chanute involved a single detector a couple of miles south of the plant on the roof of KDHE's regional office. It measures particulates, extremely tiny particles of dust, acids, organic chemicals, and metals that "affect the heart and lungs and can cause serious health effects" once inhaled, according to EPA. But it doesn't pick up eight other toxic chemicals and gases that are meant to be kept under control at incinerators and kilns.
The monitor is not even in an ideal location for detecting particulates from Ash Grove. State environmental officials point out that its purpose was not intended to track emissions from Ash Grove. Because of the way winds tend to shift in the area, the monitor often won't detect what's released from the plant.
NPR asked EPA's Brooks to reconcile the plant's mercury emission levels with the agency's clearly stated—and well-publicized—goal of reducing mercury pollution at cement kilns and power plants. In his answer, Brooks focused only on the existing rules and did not acknowledge any conflict with EPA's strong desire to cut mercury emissions dramatically. "Every test that's been done, every inspection that's been done," Brooks said, "verifies that there is full compliance with every relevant part of the permit. Including the mercury part."
The Galemores persisted. They wanted independent testing and they didn't ease up on the pressure. State environmental officials responded at first by updating a regional health study prompted by community concerns after Ash Grove first received its first hazardous waste permit 15 years ago.
The review might have been reassuring; its analysis of cancer and hospital records found no excessive cancer rates in the region. But the Galemores said the study may have missed some cancers because some local people travel to distant hospitals in Wichita, Kansas City, and Houston for treatment.
The KDHE study did find a slightly higher than expected rate of asthma cases that required hospital visits. That fit pharmacist Nick Galemore's anecdotal experience.
"We see a high volume of nebulizer medication, inhalers, lots of lung issues here," especially for children, Galemore reports. "I believe there's something that's not being detected or not being looked into."

These schools offer the best value for the cost, according to rankings from U.S. News & World Report
Getting a high-quality education at an affordable cost is a common goal for students. Cost and quality were the major factors used to determine the rankings for the best value schools in U.S. News and World Report's Best Colleges 2014.
The methodology behind the best values schools list examined academic achievement and the amount of need-based financial aid awarded. Schools that offered the highest quality education with lower costs after aid were awarded the top spots.
Here are the 2014 highest-ranking value schools in each ranking category.
Harvard University- Best Value School (National Universities)
Though tuition at Harvard University costs $42,292, the amount drops significantly after factoring in financial aid. After need-based grants are awarded, the average cost of a Harvard education drops to $15,486. Since 59.5% of Harvard students receive some sort of need-based financial aid, students have the opportunity to get an excellent education without going broke.
Amherst College- Best Value School (National Liberal Arts Colleges)
Attending Amherst College typically costs $46,574 for tuition. Fortunately, 55% of Amherst students are awarded need-based aid. After factoring in need-based grants, students can go to this No. 1 ranked liberal arts college for an average cost of $16,286.
Gallaudet University- Best Value School (Regional Universities, North)
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing have the opportunity to get a great education at Gallaudet University without spending a cent on tuition. Need-based grants at Gallaudet average $17,954, but tuition costs are only $13,800. About 75% of full-time students at this university receive some sort of need-based aid.
William Carey University- Best Value School (Regional Universities, South)
Tuition at William Cary University is only $10,800, yet the university still awards 90% of its full-time students need-based financial aid of some kind. Since the average need-based grant awarded at William Carey is $8,500, students can pay for school with little out-of-pocket cost.
Creighton University- Best Value School (Regional Universities, Midwest)
Attending Creighton University, the No.1 regional Midwest university in the 2014 Best Colleges rankings, costs $34,330 for tuition.

can you see bacteria?
I was wondering if you can see bacteria on the plants/ornaments?
I took a plant from my tank thats been set up for a few monthes and when I put it in my new tank with no fish yet it has a whitish substance on it. Anybody know what it is? Also my tanks been set up for about a month with no fish yet (havent got around to get some fish to cycle it yet) and it just got pretty cloudy, what caused this? the filters running, but theres no fish?? hmm
Sounds like the tank is just getting a bacteria bloom from the lack of food for the bacteria. If nothing else you cans imply add some fish food to the tank every day to cycle it. This will get things going before you add fish and keep the tank going for when you do get fish.
OK thank you, I put some tropical flakes in there today and Ill see when the cloudyness goes away, once it goes away im going to test the water to see if that did anything instead of getting a few fish.
A bacterium is (by definition) not visible to the "naked eye".
As F4A indicated a bacteriological bloom is readily visible.
Please keep us posted (for my edification) "how things are going" subsequent to adding the flakes.
