OTP 2016 May 2: The Anti-Moneyball Election
But these are not the campaigns that people will study, looking back at 2016. The surprises came from the Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump campaigns, which followed completely different models. They have broader, more emotional appeals to voters, rather than trying to slice the electorate into ever-narrowing segments (which have been the source for a generation of condescending consultant-speak: Bill Clinton's soccer moms, George W. Bush's security moms, and so on). They are running ...Read More...

Who Was Ty Cobb? The History We Know That's Wrong
But what about Cobb's 19th-century Southern roots? How could someone born in Georgia in 1886 not be a racist? What I found—and again, not because I am the Babe Ruth of researchers, but because I actually did some research—is that Ty Cobb was descended from a long line of abolitionists. His great-grandfather was a minister who preached against slavery and was run out of town for it. His grandfather refused to fight in the Confederate army because of the slavery issue. And his father was an ...Read More...

Hardball Times: The Doug Mirabelli Trade, an Oral History
10 years ago this weekend, marked backup catcher and knuckleball whisperer Doug Mirabelli's return to the Red Sox.
The December prior, the Red Sox sent the 35-year-old Mirabelli — long Tim Wakefield's personal catcher — to the Padres for second baseman Mark Loretta. They acquired Josh Bard from the Indians (in the Coco Crisp deal) a month later to replace Mirabelli.
April 2006 was a period of adjustment — Mirabelli adjusting to San Diego, Bard to Boston, Wakefield to Bard. It ...Read More...

Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle: And now, they all wait. After five meetings squeezed into 48 hours, from the Rockets' opening pitch to the Lakers' closing appeal, Dwight Howard left his agent's office Tuesday afternoon, slipped out of a pinstriped jacket, and squeezed behind the wheel of a white Ferrari hatchback without coming close to tipping his hand. … Monday's meetings with the Hawks and Warriors and Tuesday's sessions with the Mavericks and Lakers. By Tuesday night, the Rockets believed they had effectively stated their case. "I feel like we did everything and answered every question and we're the best option for him to win," general manager Daryl Morey said on Tuesday. "I like how he is going about the process. He is taking his time and weighing everything. We think when he does that, we'll come out ahead." There were discussions about the Rockets' ability to continue to build their roster, and Howard spoke about being including in decision-making — something Morey has routinely sought with stars — but no specific names were mentioned. Morey added that he is not looking to deal Omer Asik or Jeremy Lin.
Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News: If you would bet on the day of D12's decision? Which date would you choose? Eddie Sefko: July 4...just because that would mess up everybody's holiday....not that there are any holidays this time of the year. Actually, a more educated guess will be Friday. He'll take a couple days to turn everything over in his head, let his agent (Dan Fegan) tell him about the financial implications and then the white puff of smoke will come out of the chimney and we'll have a new Pope.
David J. Neal of The Miami Herald: Can you imagine former Lakers ace general manager Jerry West or Jeanie's late father, longtime Lakers owner Jerry Buss, doing anything like that even for Kareem or Magic Johnson? It's the kind of degradation that could have Jerry Buss spinning in his grave while earning a ghostly laughfrom Theodore Lodigensky that such a comedown is the way of all flesh in Hollywood. Lodigensky is the Czarist Russian general who wound up working as an extra in Hollywood after the Russian Revolution. Lodigensky's humiliating story wound up filmed as The Last Command with Emil Jannings winning the first Best Actor Oscar for playing the Lodigensky role (and the lead in The Way of All Flesh). Unfortunately for the Lakers, they're in this position because current GM Mitch Kupchak is even further from West as a GM than he was from Hall of Famer West as a player. Kupchak didn't analyze what he was getting in Howard and how he fit with what they had, personally and professionally. He didn't do what the Heat has done so well (with some exceptions) over the past 17 years. Which is why one team now puts up billboards celebrating championships and tries to figure out how to stay there and a former champion puts up billboards trying to keep from falling to relevance-only-by-good-name.
Ethan J. Skolnick of the Palm Beach Post: David West for three years, $36 million to stay in Indiana? We get that. He's a proven commodity there, and his departure would have damaged a championship contender on the court and off. But a New Orleans offer sheet averaging roughly $12 million for Tyreke Evans? Teams, like Detroit — which should have learned its lesson in 2009 with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva — weighing maximum offers for Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala? Kevin Martin getting four years and $28 million? Andrew Bynum still a hot commodity, after not playing all season and reportedly refusing to work out? It's just another sign that nothing has been learned, nor will it ever be. Look at this list, from 2010. Other than the free agents that the Heat secured, and Dirk Nowitzki re-signing with Dallas, which of the major ones have worked out? Carlos Boozer? Amare Stoudemire? Joe Johnson? Now, go further down the list, but not too far. Travis Outlaw? Richard Jefferson? Tyrus Thomas? Laughing? You'll do the same about this summer in three years.
Bob Young of The Arizona Republic: The Suns won't say it, but we will. The Kendall Marshall draft pick last season was a mistake. … The Suns sent Jared Dudley to the Clippers, who once played in his hometown. The Milwaukee Bucks, the third-team in the deal, ship guard JJ Redick to the Clippers and get second-round draft picks in exchange. This isn't to say that Marshall, who was selected when Lance Blanks served as general manager, doesn't have a place in the Suns future. It's just that it's probably as the team's third point guard. Starter Goran Dragic was the best player as the Suns playmaking guard last season, but he's got combo-guard skills. So Bledsoe can serve as his backup and also play alongside him against some lineups. Butler, meanwhile, is a player the Suns almost drafted when they took Shawn Marion in 2002. Some thought at the time Butler was the better pick. The deal also may explain why the club decided to exercise a team option and keep wing guard Shannon Brown. The Suns have dramatically improved the athleticism of their lineup. We're going to miss Dudley, though. The guy is about as media friendly as players get, but he also is one of those "glue" players teams love.
Doug Smith of the Toronto Star: It's kind of fun sitting out free agency in some ways, isn't it? Don't have to sit around every minute of every day either waiting for the phone to ring or the little text "ping" on your phone to go or to read something on the tweeter that someone else because of a function of timing. … But just because that's where things are today — and it's been enjoyable so far — doesn't mean there isn't work to be done around these parts and it's going to be quite interesting to see what Raptors GM Masai Ujiri can pull out of his hat in the next week and a half. He needs help, there is no question about that. When the Andrea Bargnani trade goes through he's got an ugly unbalanced roster and you have to think he's got something mind already to clear up the glut of wings and address needs. However, with the zaniness of the money so far, I'm wondering if it might not be prudent to let the top names, and even some in the second tier, shake out before pouncing on the leftovers.
Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express-News: Even now, decades after professional sports salaries began surging into the stratosphere, the money can still be shocking. Take the four-year, $36-million extension Tiago Splitter finalized on Tuesday with the Spurs. Even for someone who expected his new salary to fall between $8-10 million per year, the sheer bulk of it took my breath away for a split second. All that cash for what is, by most measures, a solid but wholly unspectacular player. Let it serve as another reminder that real-world sensibilities simply do not apply to the multi-billion dollar industry that is modern pro athletics. The value of Splitter's contract can only be determined through that lens. And with that necessary perspective, it's actually quite reasonable. Consider: The average NBA salary in 2012-13 was $5.2 million. The average salary for a starting power forward salary was $8.8 million. The average salary for an NBA All-Star was $13.3 million. Considering Splitter fits the Spurs so well on both ends of the court, as a pick-and-roll finisher and defensive partner to Tim Duncan, it can be argued that they might have actually gotten a slight bargain.
Chris Herrington of the Memphis Flyer: On a day when wing players around the NBA were signing bigger-than-expected deals — four years and $27 million for J.J. Redick, four years and $30 million for Kevin Martin, three years and $16 million for Chase Budinger, and four years and $22 million for Martell Webster — the market for Grizzlies guard Tony Allen seemed to be moving in divergent directions. On the one hand, the asking price for starting-caliber but non-All-Star wing players was coming in higher than the Grizzlies may have hoped to go for Allen. On the other, some potential Allen suitors — notably the Clippers and Pacers — seemed to be filling up roster spots or salary space needed to entice Allen. In the end, the negotiation between Allen and the Grizzlies seems to have come down to years — a guaranteed fourth year for the 31-year-old guard with a sometimes balky knee. And Allen got his fully guaranteed fourth year in a four-year, $20 million dollar deal that is, nevertheless, still less on a per-year basis than any other wing player signing on Tuesday. This for the only player in the group that has made three straight all-defensive teams, the only player in the group who just started on a conference finalist, and, certainly, the only player in the group to have significant, tangible box-office and marketing value beyond his on-court merits. … Re-signing Allen wasn't the only business the Grizzlies conducted late Tuesday night. The team also reached a multi-year agreement with forward Jon Leuer with a starting salary a little lower than the qualifying offer the team declined earlier in the week. The three-year deal at just under $3 million gives the Grizzlies room to develop Leuer at a low risk, in the hopes that he can be a cost-effective stretch-the-floor option at the back of their frontcourt rotation.
J. Michael of CSN Washington: The Wizards used the full mid-level exception, meaning it doesn't count against their salary cap, to sign Webster to a four-year contract worth $22 million Tuesday. They will have the option to buy him out in the final year which isn't fully guaranteed, so the commitment is actually less than $20 million until further notice. … So looking at the big picture, Webster's signing makes perfect sense as long as he holds up physically. He had two back surgeries before coming to Washington and ended last season on the bench because of an abdominal strain. But consider this: Kyle Korver, an elite three-point shooter like Webster, earned $5 million for the Atlanta Hawks last season and as a free agent now he'll get at least that much. Kevin Martin, a sometimes lethal shooting guard, signed a deal with the Timberwolves on Tuesday that will pay him $30 million for the next four seasons -– an average of $7-plus million per. That's the going rate, and neither is a two-way player like Webster who is a far better defender than both.
Frank Isola of the New York Daily News: J.R. Smith's list of potential suitors continues to grow but the contracts signed by two free agent shooting guards on Tuesday increases the likelihood of Smith returning to the Knicks. The Clippers agreed to acquire J.J. Redick in a sign-and-trade with the Milwaukee Bucks while Oklahoma City Thunder free agent Kevin Martin verbally agreed to a four-year, $28 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The maximum the Knicks can offer Smith, the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, is a four-year contract starting at approximately $5.5 million per season. Smith has told close friends that if the money is comparable his preference would be to re-sign with the Knicks. Still, some of the teams that contacted Smith's representatives have the ability to offer a deal approaching $30 million. The Pistons, Mavs, Rockets, Bucks and Bobcats have all expressed interest in Smith, who is coming off his best season.
Tom Sorensen of The Charlotte Observer: I hope the Charlotte Bobcats' interest in Al Jefferson is a public relations move. See, fans? We're tired of waiting. We want to improve now. That's why we're bringing Jefferson, the second-best big man in all of free-agency, to Charlotte Wednesday. We're going to pick up his airfare, put him up in a nice hotel, buy all his meals – the man weighs 289 pounds – and maybe throw in Jordan Brand gear. And it's all on the house except the Jordan Brand gear, which we'll sell him at cost. Jefferson, 6-foot-10, will average about 17 points and nine rebounds for whomever he plays. He's smart and effective and would be the best big man Charlotte has ever had. The Bobcats could use him next season. But they don't need him next season. Next season is the season the Bobcats have to go through to reach 2014-15. That's all it is. I'm not suggesting that Charlotte tank. … Every recent move the Bobcats have made is about 2014-15. The move they don't make should lead there, too.
Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman: Money is tight in New Zealand youth basketball. And Steven Adams didn't have a lot of it growing up. So the towering 7-foot "Kiwi Phenom," as he's referred to now, was unable to play the game until he was 14 and was out of the spotlight until he was 17, making the meteoric two-year rise that followed all the more impressive. As of 2011, he was still a relative unknown in New Zealand. But by last Friday afternoon Down Under, Adams was the hottest name in his home country, becoming the first New Zealander ever selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, going 12th overall to the Thunder. "Eyes were glued to the television," New Zealand sports radio personality Glen Larmer said of the draft coverage. "Both major television networks led with the news that night. Not just the sports news, the lead of the entire bulletin. So that just gives you an example of the massive interest and following of this last week."

Additional Information
About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
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.

- Implementation period: March 2013 – March 2017
- Project budget: $43 million
The Mining Investment and Development for Afghanistan Sustainability (MIDAS) project assists the Afghan Government to responsibly develop the nation's mining industry by improving its ability to plan, design and implement mining concessions through transparent tender processes. MIDAS goal is to make Afghanistan's mining industry a key source of government revenues and expand the skilled labor force to include women playing a role in the mineral development. To accomplish this, MIDAS encourages extractives and energy investors to focus on community engagement during mining site development to increase business opportunities and social progress in the region. MIDAS guides the Afghan Government to implement legal and regulatory reforms for the industry, providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum (MoMP), and developing small and medium enterprises to ensure local communities benefit from mining activities and job creation.
- Assist the Afghan Government to develop transparent bidding processes, contracting procedures to adopt and implement mining laws and regulations according to international best practices.
- Help the MoMP develop expertise in geo-science field investigation, drilling, data analysis and mineral deposit management, including the execution of mineral tenders and contract management in keeping with international standards of transparency and revenue generation.
- Provide technical and consulting assistance to Afghan small and medium enterprises, in geo-science, construction and transportation in the extractives sector to create new market opportunities.
- Supported the MoMP to develop laws and regulations for the mining industry.
- Enhanced MoMP expertise with on-the-job training in mineral exploration, drilling, mapping and investment promotion.
- Developed an open process for licensing mineral areas and an industry-standard contract guide, resulting in greatly reduced processing time.
- Carried out the first mineral drilling exploration program for granite in Shirbatu.
- Deployed seven mineral exploration expedition teams of up to 35 geologists and engineers from the Afghanistan Geological Survey to search for mineral deposits.
- Led study tours to the United States and Kyrgyzstan for government officials, business and civil society, providing comparative perspectives on mining legal and financial systems.
- Trained more than 450 public and private sector as well as civil society representatives on mine development, land rights and environment protection, and business start-up procedures in the mining sector.

Over in SOLR-2288, rmuir made some good points about locking down the NamedList API to protect people...
I looked at your patch, and personally I think NamedList should really be type-safe.
If users want to use it in a type-unsafe way, thats fine, but the container itself shouldn't be List<Object>.
Separately, i just want to say the following about NamedList:
All uses of this API should really be reviewed. I'm quite aware that it warns you about the fact that its slow for certain operations,
but in my opinion these slow operations such as get(String, int) should be deprecated and removed.
Any users that are using NamedList in this way, especially in loops, are very likely using the wrong datastructure.
(emphasis added by me)

Hossman: good idea to break out this issue. I found another trap that I think is actually even worse!
NamedList documents this limitation (the linear search by key) in this way:
* If access by key is more important, see {@link SimpleOrderedMap}, * or simply use a regular {@link Map}
So one might think SimpleOrderedMap wouldn't have these problems, especially from its documentation:
SimpleOrderedMap is a {@link NamedList} where access by key is more * important than maintaining order when it comes to representing the * held data in other forms, as ResponseWriters normally do.
Yet SimpleOrderedMap only extends NamedList!!! Its still a linear search!
So we need to check uses of SimpleOrderedMap too, to look for n^2 bugs.
No patches yet - any chance of this for a nearing 3.1?
Yet SimpleOrderedMap only extends NamedList!!! Its still a linear search!
FYI, the distinction between NamedList and SimpleOrderedMap is only in how they are written to json. In java API they are identical, but in json SimpleOrderedMap is{"foo":10,"bar":20}
and NamedList shows ["foo",10,"bar",20]

Helpful Definition for: Retirement Communities & Homes
A Retirement Community, in Whitehouse, is a broad term that covers a variety of housing for retirees and seniors specially designed for people who no longer work or are above a certain age group. These retirement communities are planned or designed in such a way that cater to the needs of the retired and include amenities like clubhouses, swimming pools, boating, golf courses, and many more. These communities might be age restricted, in which case, it requires at least one household resident to be 55 years of age or older. There are several categorizations of retirement communities like the active communities, also known as independent living communities, active-supportive communities that are a combination of residential and healthcare facilities, and the supportive communities.
A retirement home ,on the other hand, is a housing facility that is intended for senior citizens. The house allows each person or couple in the house to have an apartment style room or suite of rooms. Some additional facilities like meals, gathering, recreation and health care are also provided within the building. The place in a retirement home can be paid on a rental basis, or bought in perpetuity. A retirement home differs from a retirement community in that it is a small building or a small complex where no common areas of socializing exist.

Cowart moves to advertising; Bailey joins teamPublished 9:37am Tuesday, December 25, 2012
Tallapoosa Publishers, Inc. has made several changes in its advertising and editorial departments.
Former Sports Editor J.D. Cowart has accepted a position as a TPI advertising representative, beginning immediately. Cowart has served as TPI's sports editor since April 2011.
"It was a great experience reporting and being involved with the local sports of Tallapoosa County over the last year and a half. Being able to enjoy athletic competition and accurately tell stories I thought readers would be interested in was a thrill for me," Cowart said. "I also want to thank all the coaches and players that have helped me on a daily basis over that time period."
Advertising Director Tippy Hunter said she is "excited to have J.D. as part of the team."
"His knowledge of the area and the relationships he has made through his time as sports editor make him a very valuable addition to the TPI marketing team," Hunter said. "J.D. also brings a wealth of knowledge to many areas we'd like to focus on in coming years. Adding that to his larger-than-life personality helps solidify the team we have in place."
Cowart can be reached at 256-234-4281, ext. 34, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Replacing Cowart is Ed Bailey, who began working as TPI's sports editor Dec. 17.
"I'm very excited to get to know the coaches, athletes and people of Alexander City," Bailey said. "I'm looking forward to telling their stories, covering their games and contributing to the community while having a chance to enjoy sports on one of its purest levels. I can't say how grateful I am that TPI took a chance on me, and I have no intentions of letting them down."
Bailey graduated from Troy University in December 2012 with a Master's degree in sports and fitness management. Bailey also earned his bachelor's degree in print journalism from Troy University in 2010.
"While the newsroom will certainly miss J.D., I have no doubts that Ed can fill his shoes beautifully and continue to provide the quality sports coverage for which we strive daily," said General Manager and Managing Editor Virginia Spears. "I look forward to seeing both J.D. and Ed accomplish great things in their respective departments."
Bailey, who is a Union Springs native, said his favorite teams are the Troy Trojans and the Miami Hurricanes. He can be contacted at 256-234-4281, ext. 18, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Old Lyme - Cherrystones restaurant will be reborn as the Old Lyme Beach House next year.
The old Cherrystones building, a favorite local hangout at 218 Shore Road that has been closed for about a year, will undergo an extensive renovation, according to plans approved earlier this year by the town. The new restaurant, owned by Vincent J. Dowling Jr. under the business name Big Green Outdoor LLC of Farmington, will include about 240 seats, including two outdoor patios with combined seating for 80.
"The existing main restaurant building will be retained and completely renovated on essentially the same footprint," according to a description of the project at the town's planning department.
According to the plans, the brightened-up restaurant will include a 1,200-square-foot bar and dining room, another 1,200-square-foot main dining room, and a banquet room about half the size of the other, larger spaces. The two-story building, designed by Point One Architects of Old Lyme, also will include an upstairs office area with a cupola and stone chimney.
In April, the Zoning Commission approved construction of the Old Lyme Beach House Clam Shack on the west side of the nearly 2½-acre lot. The 28-by-36-foot eatery, which features takeout food and ice cream, has remained open since its August debut.
A call to Dowling's office in Farmington elicited little information, other than the name of the restaurant's operator, Scott Champagne, who also runs the Otter Cove restaurant in Old Saybrook. Champagne, who also was in charge of the clam shack opening, did not immediately return a phone call.
Project costs were estimated at $750,000, which includes the removal of a paved lot and the installation of crushed stone or shells in a parking area with a capacity of 100 vehicles. Hours for the main restaurant would be 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with closing extended until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
"These hours may be reduced in the winter months, but the restaurant will be open year-round," according to a project description.
Maximum number of employees during peak hours is expected to be 20, according to project documents. The original filings anticipated the restaurant opening this fall, but planning personnel said they didn't expect the nearly 8,000-square-foot Old Lyme Beach House to be ready until next year.
No activity was seen at the restaurant mid-afternoon Friday, though one earth mover was visible on site.
Cherrystones, a year-round restaurant, dated back more than a quarter century. The site previously operated as 100 Acres Restaurant, a favorite seasonal spot for generations of beach-goers. Both restaurants were operated by the Montanaro family, which announced in May 2012 that they had sold the property after four decades of ownership.

The Health and Safety Executive is considering launching a full investigation into the death of Gillian Astbury, a 66-year-old woman who died at the Stafford Hospital in 2007.
A public inquiry last week found that up to 1,200 people died needlessly in Mid Staffs hospitals between 2005 and 2009 due to poor care and mismanagement.
An inquest in 2010 found that Mrs Astbury, a diabetic, died due to systematic failures by managers and staff at the hospital.
The HSE suspended its inquiries into Mrs Astbury's case while the Francis Inquiry was underway.
But now the inquiry has reported, the HSE is considering launching a full investigation into the case.
The executive has the power to bring criminal prosecutions under the Health and Safety at Work Act, which makes employers liable for harm done to members of the public.
Convictions under the act can be punishable by unlimited fines or up to two years in jail.
The 2010 inquest into Mrs Astbury's death found that "there were serious shortcomings" in the way hospital staff cared for her.
She had been admitted after a fall that left her with a broken leg and pelvis. Nurses failed to administer insulin to her, even though doctors had prescribed it.
Some staff later said they not been told Mrs Astbury was diabetic. Others said they had been too busy to check her notes.
A spokesman for the HSE confirmed that the authority is now considering a "full investigation" into Mrs Astbury's case.
He said: "On independent legal advice, HSE suspended its work looking into the death of Gillian Astbury once the public inquiry was announced. Now that the report has been published, HSE is studying its findings and will take them into account in deciding whether a full investigation should be launched."
He added: "Given the nature of the legal decisions involved, it is inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
The scale of the scandal in the NHS in Staffordshire has prompted political demands for police action.
Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, has suggested that the Francis Inquiry could form the basis for a police inquiry. Staffordshire police have suggested that current laws could not sustain a successful
Lord Tebbit, the former Conservative Party chairman, yesterday joined the list of those calling for criminal investigations.
"Those responsible for the mistreatment or neglect of patients in NHS hospitals should be treated just as we treat those who inflict similar pain, suffering and death to those in their care at home," he said. "If mothers can be jailed for causing injury to their children at home, so should be those who do so in our hospitals."
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said there is "real concern" about the Mid Staffs case, but insisted it was for the police to decide on investigations.
"Looking at what happened in Mid Staffordshire, this was an appalling case, if you look at the number of people who died, if you look at issues around the care that was provided, obviously there are real concerns about what happened there," she said.
"But in terms of ability to investigate, to take that through, that must be a matter decided by police as an operational decision for them."

Today I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with my first flat tire. I was heading out to Staples, one of the oh so fun things we do in this town, and my car was acting really funny. I was about a half of a mile from my parking spot when I decided to turn around because my car felt wrong. As I was stopped at a stop sign, a man who was snow-blowing his sidewalk rapped on my window to inform me that my passenger's side front tire was flat. I proceeded to park my car in the closest campus parking lot, that of the Fine Arts Center, to check my tire. It was flat. I mean, really flat. The worst thing is that these tires aren't even a year old. The good thing, though, is that the tire business at which my mother bought my tires has a branch in West Lafayette. We have a warranty on my tires and I can take it in and get it replaced for free. This is the stuff that you have to deal with when you are away from home.
On a brighter note, the Wabash College Secular Student Alliance will be publicly screening a debate between Bill Nye (The Science Guy!, if you don't know him: http://dft.ba/-7Pah) and Ken Ham, the CEO of the Creation Museum. Their debate is centered around the question "is creation a viable model of origins"? If you would like to attend, the event will be open to the public and we may get pizza (Senate funding to be announced). The event will take place on February 4th at 7:30PM in Hays 003.

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.
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.

Qtel network sends 20 Million Eid Greetings in 2009
The people of Qatar sent more than 20 million Eid greetings during the first two days of the Eid Al Fitr holiday, according to phone traffic levels recorded by Qtel.
While SMS messaging made up the majority of the greetings, this year also saw a record number of Picture and Video Messages (MMS) delivered to mark the joyous occasion. The 20 million record-setting milestone includes all SMS and MMS sent since the first day of Eid was announced. Combined with phone greetings and international calls, the first two days of the holiday saw some of the highest traffic ever generated within Qatar, with the first day of Eid Al Fitr recording the heaviest traffic to date.
International traffic was particularly high, boosted in part by Qtel's special rate for sending MMS greetings and wishes to over 700 mobile operators globally and locally in Qatar for only QR 0.90, which was made available throughout Ramadan and for the Eid holidays.

It's been a pretty good week!

Saturday, October 05, 2013
The easy as 1-2-3 approach has gone well this week, I'm feeling pretty good that I'm working on it and not over-complicating it.
Yesterday I took a rest day, and this morning I didn't get up in time to take my walk. I did a video instead. I really really didn't want to! Haha I used the "snooze button" approach, once I got past 10 minutes I talked myself into 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes, until I was up to 30 and I just didn't feel like doing anymore.
Today my eating isn't going so great, it will be a tight squeeze to keep in range! Trying to think up what to have for dinner that will be filling enough but still keep me within range. I have a big appetite today! Or I just want to eat for no good reason. Whatever, I'll track it and tomorrow's a new day.
I'm really working on keeping that "big picture" in mind, so what I want in the moment doesn't overshadow what I really want overall. It's that mental push and pull, if I gratify my desire now, I'll grapple with regret later. I know I don't want to do the grappling part, it doesn't even burn any calories! Sometimes I convince myself it's just easier to give in, then I don't have to face the conflict anymore. I'll still face the consequences though, whichever way I decide!

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
You are doing really well with not deceiving yourself. Even when you overeat, you track it... and that is giving you valuable information. We all have times when we want to be out of control without consequences. None of us attain the "no consequences" result, so we learn to (most of the time) control our intake/output. Hang in there! You know what to do, and it does make a difference!

"I know I don't want to do the grappling part, it doesn't even burn any calories!"
Thanx I needed a chuckle today.
Hey just a suggestion here: Why don't you try the snooze button approach with your eating?
When you want something that is out of your calorie budget keep hitting snooze :)
Tomorrow's brand new day is the start of a brand new week!
Report Inappropriate Comment
The big picture is hard to keep in perspective sometimes. Especially when you really want something and it doesn't completely fit. It sounds like you are definitely still on the right track though. Keeping up with the fitness is always a plus. Also, don't know how you feel about chicken, but that helps fill me up most days. Keep up the good work you've been making so much progress!

Say I have an array of city names, and a MongoDB collection of city names. Say that my array looks like:
["San Francisco", "chicago", "New York", "Los Angeles"]
And my collection looks like
{{cityName: "chicago"}
{cityName: "New York"}}
What I'd like to do is perform a query that returns to me San Francisco and Los Angeles. So far, my only idea is to just perform the query, get the matches, and do an array subtraction from the original array (and thus get my cities), but I wonder if theres a way to do it in a one step query.
Thanks in advance!
