Curbside composting bins for most food scraps are set to arrive at Portland homes by the end of the month. And that, officials say, means the city to the south gets to be a guinea pig for Clark County.
Clark County and the city of Vancouver are adopting a "wait-and-see" approach before starting a home food waste collection program here, Vancouver Environmental Resources Manager Rich McConaghy said.
"We're not looking at that at this point," he said. "Really, our focus is looking at the commercial side: hospitals, businesses, schools. We see that really as our first focus."
Food waste is the county's largest single contributor to landfills — it made up 16.3 percent of the county's waste stream in a 2008 study. Food decomposes in landfills, but as it does so it creates a large volume of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, McConaghy said.
Right now, several large commercial ventures, such as Burgerville, and nearly every Clark County school recycle their food waste, he said. And as more facilities are built locally to handle food waste composting, the county will be able to more realistically look at a home collection program as well.
Portland will join other West Coast cities, including Seattle and San Francisco, with well-established curbside food waste collection programs — but that doesn't mean it has been without controversy there.
All food waste, including vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood, baked goods, grains, dairy, eggs, and coffee grounds and filters, will be accepted. But in order to make the program work without raising costs to homeowners, weekly garbage service was cut to biweekly, while the yard debris and food composting can will be collected once a week — a move that drew the ire of many.
"If we did that, it would be an issue," McConaghy said.
Portland had very specific goals to implement home food waste collection, and Mayor Sam Adams had a large hand in pushing the city council to approve the start of the program, he said.
"I don't know if we have the same approach with city politicians," McConaghy said.
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt agreed that he'd like to observe Portland's program in action first. Yet Vancouver shouldn't lag too far behind, he said. "For me, within reason, it's an avenue toward sustainability and preservation of our resources that I would like to see the city actively pursue," he said.
The Clark County Comprehensive Solid Waste Plan, approved by county commissioners and the Vancouver City Council, has no strong language pushing for a home composting program. The county should instead "evaluate residential and commercial food waste collection" and "encourage the private sector to establish additional processing capacity," the policy reads.
Leavitt said the city's sustainability plan, which was never formally adopted, also likely addressed solid waste reduction as well.
School scraps
Among the pioneers of food composting in Clark County have been its schools.
Nearly every school district has such a program, in which students sort their lunch remnants into trash, recycling and compost bins.
At Heritage High School, where the program started two years ago, teacher Nancy Keller said they previously filled six to eight dumpsters of trash every week, but now it's two to four.
"The kids do a pretty good job," said Keller, who estimates Heritage has about a 71 percent success rate with the right trash ending up in the right canister.
Cost is among the chief reasons the Evergreen School District adopted the program — composting is cheaper than sending trash to a landfill, Resource Conservation Manager Dave Cone said. He didn't have the savings numbers immediately available, but said, "It's considerable."
Also, he said, the program is "a good role model. It's good for us as educators to be modeling that and showing these opportunities to the kids."
No facilities
A big reason composting hasn't taken off in the Portland-Vancouver area until now has been the issue of supply and demand, McConaghy said.
Seattle and other Puget Sound area cities can send their home food waste to processing facilities nearby, he said. So far, the same facilities haven't been developed in Southwest Washington and Northern Oregon.
That means food waste has to be trucked to locations including Pacific Region Compost in Corvallis, Ore., Cedar Grove in the Puget Sound area and Silver Grove just south of Olympia.
That raises costs, McConaghy said.
"It's kind of like the chicken and the egg — until you have a place to take it, you can't do it," he said. "We admire (Portland) for stepping out front and getting the markets going."
At least one project, Columbia Biogas in Northeast Portland, is set to open in the next year or so.
Metro, Oregon's regional government that handles solid waste transfers for the area, also just lifted a 10,000-ton cap on the food waste it would take from Clark County, McConaghy said.
That should allow the government to start working with more private companies to start commercial programs.
Home composting may just be a matter of time and patience.
"It would be good for us," McConaghy said. "Maybe not this year, but a couple years down the road."

"Santa Cruz" Santa Cruz by salinhopt
Santa Cruz Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 22 photos
Camacha is a beautiful small village a few kilometres east of Funchal and also famous for its apple festival and very active folklore dance troops.
They call this the village of basket makers.
Well, that is not quite true - it is the centre of Madeiras willow craft industry.
Nowadays they make furniture, hats, ornaments, kitchen utensils, wine holders and of course... baskets of all sizes and shapes. All in all over 1000 different articles and an absolute 'must see' for every tourist!
Many consider the Camacha Village the Madeiran Capital of Culture. In fact, if you look around, you will find very talented people and lots of cultural, social and entertainment events.
The visitor in santa Cruz can find all kinds of wicker furniture and decorative pieces.
Caniço is an important tourist resort lying some 10 km east of Funchal. It is a gathering of houses surrounding an important 18th century church. The seaside holiday resort is to be found by travelling southward along Rua Dr. F. Peres to Caniço de Baixo. The Nature Reserve of Parcial do Garajau was created in 1986. This is the only purely marine reserve in Portugal. Extraordinary clear water assures ideal diving conditions and is one of the reasons for the marine biodiversity of this habitat.
"After a while they entered a beautiful bay where they found a handsome and pleasant valley well planted with trees. And here they found some fallen trunks, from which the captain ordered that a cross should be made. This was then placed in the treetops, and the place was name Sancta Cruz (Holy Cross); and later a noble town was founded here." From Elucidário Madeirense
- Pros:The beaches, the sun, the tradition
- In a nutshell:A nice place to relax!

Gifts for gifting
Gifting is something that comes from nothing more than the goodness of your heart, it is a desire to spread a bit of joy to someone that you care about. While you may be giving a gift in the spirit of attempting to put a smile on the face of a relative or friend, you will find that this is a result that can often be very difficult to walk away with. It is very easy to get caught up in the idea that a great gift is something that has to be in high demand within society at the time. If this is an expectation that you hold onto, you will end up spending quite a bit of money on something that does not impress the person as much as you had hoped. Essentially, this approach to selecting a gift is one that you should stay away from because it will quickly put a significant amount of stress on your back. Additionally, you will begin to feel the negative impact on your wallet in no time at all. Do not think of gifting as something that calls from the latest and greatest toys, this is something that will only hurt your ability to give gifts that are meaningful. Even if you are providing a gift to a child, you do not want to simply choose something because it is getting a large amount of attention at the time. Doing this would only ensure that the child loses interest and begins to look for something new within the span of just a few weeks. When you want to give gifts that are going to remain in the lives of people you care about, you should go for something that they are going to read. If you know topics that they have been interested in at some point in the past, you can simply factor thisanandabooks.com into the selection of books that you give. Many people love self help books because they are educational in addition to providing a lot of value when they are re read in the future.
Books can also be customized in order to be a source of entertainment that helps young children get to bed with a lot less fuss and stress each night. A bedtime story is something that most people look forward to, getting one that is personalized to add their names would only ensure that your gift is one they choose to reach for each night. A jar of sweets would be another great example of something that would always find an audience regardless of the event that you are providing it for. People love to get sweets, this will give them something to look forward to for months. Additionally, business professionals have been able to use a jar of sweets for promotional purposes and ensuring that their customers return in the future. Marketing can often be expensive and very difficult to do, but sweets will offer an option that is enjoyable and affordable.

text: This guy was actually one of my hero's because he taught me in my first 2 hockey schools I went to. I remember my first year when he was working with us goalie's. He was shooting at us & he picked me to stay at one end & sent the other goalie's down the other with some local goalie who was playing Senior hockey. He said he thought I had quick feet & he took about 50 shots making me make skate saves. He did this for about 5 straight sessions. The other parents made a complaint about it though (which now that I'm older I can't blame them) and so that stopped. However, him being a Bruin & him coaching me I was a 8 & 9 yr old on cloud nine. He never had much of a career in the bigs, but coming from a small community it was big to have an NHL'er around. Greg Malone & Pat Daley were the ones who started the hockey schools there.

Hi all, i'm very new to this forum and after doing a days worth of research through google, I figured I might as well use my first post on a question that has been bugging me for the past 24 hours.
Yesterday morning, I got my brand new Nashbar Hounder and I put it together. For some STUPID reason, I decided to mess around with the locking nut on the rear wheel. My rear wheel is a flip-flop hub with fixed gear / single gear. I tightened each side a little bit and obviously, I couldn't spin the wheel any more. When I loosened the locking nuts, my problem got worse. I When I got the wheel to spin freely, the axle or rear hub would be loose. Then when I tightened the locking nuts just enough to get the wheel to spin, I noticed that while the wheels spun there was a slight "holding back" I should say where it felt like maybe a slight rub in the bearing.
I am not very good at explaining things and HOPEFULLY someone can understand what I am trying to say. For hours yesterday, I kept tightening and loosening the rear locking nut just to find that equillibrium where the wheel wouldn't wobble on the axle and where I can spin the wheel without any problems There is no quick release skewer so it is a straight axle in the back. I've read that if it was a QR, then a slight wobble would be okay since it would tighten up when locking the skewer.
It is a BRAND NEW bike and any help or input is gladly appreciated as soon as possible. Thank you all in advance.

New Report on Senior Citizens a Mixed Bag
A new report from the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics offers a snapshot of the status of seniors. While it's based on data from 2009 (the latest available) and may not fully capture the impact of the economic downturn, health reporter Judith Graham says things are looking up for many seniors. She observes:
- Fewer are living in poverty. Between 1974 and 2010, the proportion of older adults with incomes below the poverty threshold fell from 15 percent to 9 percent.
- More now fall in the "high income" category. During the time period specified above, the proportion of well-off older adults expanded from 18 percent to 31 percent.
Still, there are challenges
About 40 percent of older adults pay upward of 30 percent of their income for housing and utilities. This is a substantial economic burden, and it speaks to a relative dearth of affordable housing for seniors.
Health and health care continue to be a challenge. Some sobering statistics:
- Health care expenditures, adjusted for inflation, have increased significantly for older Americans, rising to $15,709 in 2008 from $9,850 in 1992.
Older adults who are poor or near-poor (with incomes just above the poverty level) now spend 22 percent of their household income on health care services, up from 12 percent in 1977.
- Obesity is making inroads among older Americans, driven by increasing prevalence among older men. In 2009-10, 39 percent of people 65 and older were obese, up from 22 percent in 1988-94.
Obesity can lead to diabetes, a leading cause of retinopathy and glaucoma.
"The trends in vision impairment and blindness, particularly among people 40 and older, are alarming," EyeSight Foundation Executive Director Torrey DeKeyser said. "The nation has seen an increase of 23 percent since 2000 in this age group and the predictions for that trend to continue are sobering, particularly in Alabama which has such a high incidence of diabetes, a leading cause of retinopathy and glaucoma."
A recent census by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers finds that there's a looming shortage of eye care providers statewide.
Alabama's elderly population is growing
Alabama's elderly population (13.8%) is higher than the national average (13%) and this year's Alabama State Plan on Aging projects it will grow dramatically in the next two decades. That has serious implications for the state's health and long-term care industries.

Will China's 'carrier killer' missile change U.S. Navy?
Whenever there's a crisis around the world, one of the first orders issued in Washington is to dispatch the closest aircraft carrier, as a show of American strength.
But the Navy may have to rethink the aircraft carrier as the centerpiece of its Pacific fleet, as China flexes its military might with a "carrier killer" missile and its first stealth jet fighter.
Comparing China/U.S. militaries
Annual defense expenditures: $78.6 billion / $739.2 billion
Active, reserve service members: 2,795,000 / 2,444,802
Fighter aircraft: 1,605 / 3,695
Bomber aircraft: 112 / 154
Aircraft carriers: 1 / 11
Submarines: 61 / 72
Source: GlobalSecurity.org
Chinese President Hu Jintao is scheduled to arrive for a Wednesday state visit with President Barack Obama. In advance of that meeting, the Chinese leader told American newspapers that both sides should "abandon the zero-sum Cold War mentality," while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last week "distrust lingers on both sides."
The missile, whose existence was confirmed last month by the head of U.S. Pacific Command, reportedly would be able to hit a moving flattop from 900 miles away. China tested its J-20 stealth jet in a very public way last week as Defense Secretary Robert Gates was making a goodwill visit.
"Will this change how the Navy operates? The Navy has to take this into account. That means new training, new doctrine maybe. It may mean rethinking what aircraft carriers look like," said Dean Cheng, a China scholar at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.
"What is the purpose of an aircraft carrier? To launch airplanes. What is the purpose of the airplanes? To do bombing and air superiority. Some of those things perhaps may be done by other means," Cheng said.
With the San Diego-based aircraft carrier Carl Vinson parked at Busan, South Korea, last week — just around the tip of the Korean peninsula from mainland China — the issue is up close and personal for Navy families.
The carrier George Washington, based in Japan, took part in two show-of-force exercises in the Asian Pacific last year in response to North Korea reportedly sinking a South Korean ship and shelling a South Korean island.
At issue: Will the missile make the United States hesitant to send a carrier into international waters near China? And, if this so-called anti-access strategy by China works, would the United States lose some ability to defend its allies South Korea, Taiwan and Japan?
Bernard Cole, a professor of international history at the Naval War College, said it would be something the Navy would have to weigh.
"It's not going to be a decision maker by itself, but it would be a factor to be considered," said Cole, an expert on the Chinese navy.
"It would certainly be a factor influencing where we station our aircraft carriers, and that in turn would affect the way we operate aircraft off carriers," he said. "Obviously, the longer the range, the more factors with respect to fuel have to be considered."
Analysts say the Chinese stealth fighter wouldn't be as much of a threat to the carrier itself. But it could distract a carrier's own aircraft and take their attention away from protecting the ship.
A couple of retired Navy admirals with deep experience in the Pacific region say it's far too soon to say the carrier's reign is over.
"If you're asking me, 'Are carriers obsolete?' the answer is no, I don't think so at all," said retired Vice Adm. Paul McCarthy, who commanded the Navy's Seventh Fleet in Japan from 1985 to 1986 and now lives in Coronado.

The Tigers rallied from a 14-7 halftime deficit to remain unbeaten with the road victory.
Kevin Haynes picked up 229 yards on 20 carries and scored two touchdowns, doing most of his damage in the second half.
"They really had a good defensive package to keep Kevin Haynes out of the game, and in the first half, they were able to do that," Battle Ground coach Larry Peck said. "We adjusted well at halftime."
Landon Paprska and Justin Smalley each had a rushing touchdown for the Tigers, combining for about 125 yards. Ian Humphrey threw a 16-yard TD pass to Jake Sachen.
Battle Ground (4-0) played strong defensively, Peck said. One of the Lions' touchdowns was on a long fumble return.

Skip to comments.Karl Rove: Gloria Allred adds credibility to accusation (WATCH VIDEO)
Posted on 11/08/2011 9:14:43 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Karl Rove, on Fox News today, talking about lawyer Gloria Allred's involvement with Sharon Bialek's allegation of sexual misconduct from Herman Cain.
"Credibility matters here, and Gloria Allred -- while she is a Democrat and a liberal Democrat and openly so -- nonetheless, has been involved in a number of high-profile cases like Tiger Woods and others, where the charges have been borne out.
So this gives Ms. Bialek's charges and accusations a little bit of credibility, and that's what we're talking about here -- credibility."
You got that exactly backwards, Karlie ole boy
Way to go Rove, way to shoot your career in the head. NO one on the right is going to forget this bit of stupidity.
This is a joint op by RINOs and the Obama campaign.
Well Karl, it would have even MORE credibility if you didn't have your name attached to the story.
Rove is on Allard's payroll too?
Leave it to Karl Rove. I knew he was coming on Fox this morning, and I turned the channel to watch The Price Is Right.
Did you call Gloria, Karl, or did she call you?
I heard the fat bastard say it.
And the entire time he was subtly ripping Cain, he had a smirk on his face.
OMG I hate him. WTF
Rove is proving himself a craven opportunist and a terrible disappointment.
Gloria Allread is about as credible as MTV or MSNBC.
I am surprised Rove isn't touting CNN as a "credible" source.
Eat poo and live Karl.
Rove wants Romney
If Gingrich rises up, they WILL parade his ex wives and other mistresses on the MSM. They may even get one of them to say that Gingrich was a wife beater.
If this takedown of Cain by the establishment succeeds, I pledge I will never vote for a republican again.
It really needs something to give it credibility so I guess Karl Rove is trying to lend it what little credibility he has left.
What an idiot! Rove certainly knows how to marginalize himself...lol.
To hell with Rove, we all know he wants Romney in as he is just another progressive out to take down our nation and Rove is expert at such things.
Sure he can keep playing his little game of saying this person or that is 'electable'
Reagan was NOT electable according the media. All pounded on him as an idiot, as a dunce, as a washed up B actor - they called him every name in the book. He ignored most and won the hearts of this nation.
Cain should do the same totally ignore the commies from this point on.
Karl Rove, you magnificent bass turd.
Someone inside the GOP better get hold of Rove real quick.
The longer Rove helps pimp the smear at Cain, the more the grass roots is going to think the GOP Party leadership is involved.
The GOP may just buy themselves a third party challenger for the Right in 2012 if they do not get a clue.
A solid 1/3 of the Tea Party does not like or trust the GOP. This sort of crap from Rove is not helping. If that 1/3 goes, they are going to pull over a whole lot of the rest of the Tea Party with them.
CRUSH CAIN AT ALL COSTS, ROMNEY HAS BEEN CHOSEN. There are no longer 2 parties, its all for one and one for all. The Golden Goose must be protected at all costs.
Karl's sleaziness is showing. No real conservative woman would go to Allred to promote her slime. Karl knows that, but he is neck deep in this assassination of Cain's campaign.
Her involvement is all I need to know to discount this.
Rove wants Romney on the ticket.
Real bad.
What a tool he is.
Has Rove committed a linkage error binding himself, Allred and mitt the twit to this lying smear?
Wow... I think I must have stepped through the mirror this morning...
I DISMISS the charges because Allred is involved.
Wouldn't he love to go to a lynching!!!
IOW, these guys.....
America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution By Angelo M. Codevilla from the July 2010 - August 2010 issue
Rove is demonstrating that he is on Obama's payroll.
Rino Rove should be thrown into the ashbin of history, or get a show on msnbc.
Karl has become quite the scumbag. And an enemy.
Laugh out loud funny....well almost.
I hate to use hippy lingo, but the "establishment" areallies to destroy any outsiders from coming in and upsetting their game. This includes Republicans and Democrats. A Herman Cain or a Sarah Palin is anathema to them, and they must be destroyed. In particular the Dems must stop Mr. Cain because he's a conservative black man, but the RINOs are also happy to pile on because they perceive that Mr. Cain might actually try to do something to cut the size of the Government. Karl Rove is the ultimate establishment tool.
I can't stand to even see his smug mug on my TV.
He is one arrogant SOB.
I'd like to cut some bacon off his back.
Sarah you had better be paying close attention cause once Cain and Newt are gone, you will be all we, Tea Party Conservatives have left. Well there is always Perry but really, Perry?
With an advisor like Karl, no wonder Bush seemed to be clueless during his last term.
Hey Karl, put away the white board and learn how to Google.
Well duh. Neither Karl or Gloria are credible.
It is amazing how quick Karl and faux FOX conservatives are willing to give this bimbo and her legal counsel, Cruella DeVille, credibility.
Tokyo shows up to try to pound a few nails in the coffin. That guy is beyond despicable.
I heard Alred's name and thought the exact opposite.
I think he's truly gone senile, or something...
Allred lends CREDIBILITY? I think we've got ample proof that Karl Rove is simply part of the DC Establishment - only on "our" side when it suits him. ALL of the DC Elites on both sides are desperate - so desperate that they sided with a woman who has lied about this exact sort of thing before.
RINO Rove ,,, establishment elitist extraordinaire . . .
Rove, the bastard, isn't so magnificent any longer, ... is he?
There was a time when I respected Rove. No more. He is so out of touch with reality he isn't even a good analyst, let alone a decent conservative.

Public Split on Muslims, Mormons; Polls Reveals Negative Views
Byline: Kristi Moore, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Americans' attitudes about Muslims are more negative now than in years past, while a slim majority of the public expresses a favorable view of Mormons, according to a national religious poll released yesterday.
"I think the main find in this survey is the fact that the public holds such mixed views of Islam and Mormonism," said Gregory Smith, research fellow for the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
The survey indicated that about 43 percent of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of Muslims, while 35 percent express a negative view. Opinions of Muslims were more positive in 2004, with 48 percent favorable and 32 percent unfavorable.
As in previous surveys, Muslim Americans are seen more positively than Muslims overall; however, opinions of Muslim Americans have also become more negative.
A mere 53 percent of the public expresses "a favorable view of Mormons, while 27 percent view Mormons unfavorably," stated the survey released by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
For religious groups, the survey indicated that "a solid majority of white mainline Protestants and white non-Hispanic Catholics express favorable opinions of Mormons," said the survey conducted for Pew by Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas Inc. "Among white evangelical Protestants, just 46 percent have a positive impression of Mormons, while 39 percent have an unfavorable opinion."
Mr. Smith was also intrigued by the fact that about 31 percent of Americans say that Mormonism is not a Christian religion.
Opinions were also affected by personal experiences, the poll indicating that among those who know a Muslim, for instance, 56 percent have a favorable overall impression of Muslims, compared with just 32 percent of those who are not acquainted with a Muslim. …

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

RE: Lost Burial
My closet relative to Jackie would be my grandparents (Dale H Buckmaster and Claryce Minnie Buckmaster, both buried at Ft Howard in Green Bay, WI.) Jackie's may be a nickname for John. I was told he was buried in Pestigo,WI but don't know which of 3 cemeteries I believe. I was told he lived no longer than 18 months. He would've been born after Dale Jr (1947 but before Constance Lee (1950). Now that's what I remember is him be the 2nd of 7 but I suppose he could've been the 1st but I know those are the only 2 options.
I'd be so forever grateful if you could find any information on him as I can't seem to find any from relatives since both grandparents and others that would have known are also passed. But I still have yet to ask my uncle Dale Junior so maybe he might have something he's just very difficult to get a hold of and he distances himself from the family.
By any chance are you on ancestry.com that we may be able to connect on there? If not I could at least send you an invite to be able to look and make any possible changes to the tree if you have additional information. If that would be of interest to you please let me know as I will need your email address to allow you access.
Thank you so very much for all the work that you have done for so many people! I really wish records would've been much better back then so we could've had a better sense of where and who we came from and two worked so hard for it but sometimes that's where we get the most rewarding I guess right?

Lost Burial
I thought I received an email from you but can't find it, unless I'm imagining it ;-)
I'm looking for a young child my grandparents called Jackie, but not sure if that's his given name. All I know is he was buried in Peshitgo, WI and my gma told me he lived around 18 months due to a hole in his heart but that was many decades ago so he could've been younger.
Also curious in how we may be related. Where in the lineage we both are.

re- Related to James McCune
Hello! My name is John and you stated that you are related to the McCune's. I'm guessing that you are related to the Brandyberry's! I saw that James's brother, Lawrence, married a Brandyberry and one of her brothers served in the 89th with the McCunes. I am a member of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW)because James is my great great grandfather. To be a member, one has to be a male and be a direct descendent of a civil war veteran who served honorably. I was looking for pictures of James and any information about him. I don't know anything much about him except what is mentioned in the 89th history. The camp where I am a member (camp 1 in Kokomo) wants members to research their ancestor(s) and give a presentation about them. If you can help with anything that would be really great!
Thanks! John Budreau

It's receiving on my nerves, if I may perhaps at any rate place a longer time boundary on the period among where I run off the mobile phone and it locking. I have seen this option in all nokia mobile phones but I couldnt able to figure out in this model now. I hope that the option is there.

My tech life completely changed in 2012
I join colleagues Mihaita Bamburic, Alan Buckingham and Wayne Williams recounting what tech I used in 2012. But unlike them, I made dramatic platform changes, more significant than first using Windows over New Years holiday 1994, buying a reburbished PowerBook in February 1999, adopting Facebook and Twitter in 2006 or purchasing Nexus One in January 2010. Each of these marked major platform changes -- and some not always lasting. Consider this: in early 2012, I owned a 1.8GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Air, iPhone 4S and iPad 3. I end the year using Chromebook and Android smartphone and tablets.
During the year I moved from OS X and Windows running on Intel to an ARM-and-Chrome OS laptop, and after several failed attempts at adopting tablets (three generations of iPads, really), I embraced not one but two Android slates. I store all my data in the cloud -- local storage is now merely a way station between destinations rather than personal repository. This old dog is learning new tricks, and if I make such dramatic platform changes what does that mean for younger users who are more flexible and not as financially or habitually Apple/Microsoft/Intel committed? Look around, the PC era rapidly evaporates around you and its disappearance will be difficult to ignore in 2013.
A third of Android devices now run Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean
Jelly Bean may be the youngest member of the Android family, but it's also enjoying some amazing month-on-month growth, based on the number of devices accessing Google Play during the 14 days ending December 3. It still has some way to go to match Gingerbread though, which is yet again the green droid ruler.
On November 13, the search giant introduced its latest sugary treat, Android 4.2. Three weeks later, the new version of Jelly Bean had claimed a distribution level of 0.8 percent, a number aided by Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 sales, and Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 upgrades. That growth however, pales in comparison to 4.1 Jelly Bean which is now found on 5.9 percent of green droid devices, an increase of 118 percent when compared to the previous figures released in early November.
Google posts Android 4.2.1 factory images for the Nexus 4, 7, 10 and HSPA+ Galaxy smartphone
Just three days ago Google released the Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean update which now recognizes that December and Santa Claus do exist. Today the Mountain View, Calif.-based corporation updated the factory images for the Nexus 4, 7, 10 and HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus with the latest version of the green droid operating system.
Using the factory images the four Nexus devices can be directly upgraded to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, build number JOP40D, without waiting to receive the over-the-air update. In similar fashion, green droid modders can take advantage of the factory images to restore the devices to stock after previously using a custom distribution such as AOKP Jelly Bean Milestone 1 or CyanogenMod 10.
I bought iPad 2 for Nexus 7 money
I'm not wrong -- tablets are still incapable of replacing PCs, but I purchased one anyway. Local Black Friday sales got the best of me, and the end result is the iPad 2 that's laying on my couch right now. Before you start calling me names for buying an older product or "betraying the Android army", let me put it like this -- Apple's tablet was cheaper than a Google Nexus 7.
Price is a very strong incentive in any of my buying decisions. Because of it I couldn't even think about purchasing an iPad, as it normally runs for $550 in my area. But that changed when I read the price tag during the Black Friday sale -- it was roughly $285. Suddenly priorities changed and an older, otherwise overpriced, product made sense. I just had to get it, despite what logic may have tried to dictate at the time.
Tired of hitting the F5 key? There's an easier way to check Google Nexus availability
Google's attempt to sell the Nexus lineup on its own Play Store could be considered a failure. The company appears to be unable to keep up with the high demand, and as a result devices are mostly sold out all over the world. In order to prepare for that one moment when sufficient stock exists there is a website that checks global Play Stores for Nexus device availability.
Google Nexus Devices World Availability Checker keeps track of all Nexus 4 (including black bumper), 7 and 10 units sold in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. The website allows users to verify whether a particular device is available in stock at the local Play Store in the above mentioned locations. The advantage, over manually checking, is that prospective buyers are not limited to their regional online store, and can look up international availability, which comes in handy for those that want to shop abroad.
Eight things Google should be thankful for in 2012
US Thanksgiving is a time for reflection on the year behind, with plenty of time to ponder resolutions for January 1st. Yesterday, I posted about the things Microsoft should be grateful for in 2012. Today, I followed up with another, for Google. For consistency's sake, the list numbers eight, in line with Microsoft's, for which I chose to hat-tip Windows 8.
The list is by no means comprehensive, just some things that stand ahead of others -- and it is organized from least to most important. Google had a great year, perhaps the best ever. Few companies released more innovative products, affecting so many people and building such positive brand awareness.
Custom recoveries available for Google Nexus 4, 10 with Android 4.2 support
Custom recovery is at the core of Android modding by allowing users to root or load custom green droid distributions. The recently launched Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, can also join the modding train with new custom recoveries from ClockwordMod and Team Win Recovery Project.
With Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Google introduced a new feature -- multiple-user support -- which modifies the internal storage structure by adding a "0" folder for the default user. Aside from the obvious benefit, the new functionality also causes issues with custom recoveries that are not designed to take it into account. Now though CWM 126.96.36.199/9 and TWRP 126.96.36.199 are available with support for the recently introduced Nexus 4, 10 and multiple user support.
Google is red face ahead of Black Friday
Some advice to Google: If you launch exciting new products right before the holidays, it's a good idea to have them to sell. Not only are new Nexus devices sold out, so are new Chromebooks. Worse, they're not available in stores that stock them. Ah, yeah, what a brilliant way to push a new product category to the masses: Look, but you can't buy.
The new $199 Acer and $249 Samsung Chromebooks are on display in 500 Best Buys, and Google staffs sales specialists, who are there during store hours and are contracted through the end of the year. But the search and information giant can't stock Chromebooks. Like Amazon and Google Play, the Samsung Chromebook is sold out (the new Acer model is still available from Google today but not yet stocked by Amazon). Units coming into Best Buy are generally already claimed from online orders. Even the few returns, available as open-box purchases, sell within a couple hours. Google pays sales staff to educate potential buyers, who leave stores empty-handed.
Android 4.2 hits AOSP, factory images available for Nexus devices
Android Open Source Project Technical Lead Jean-Baptiste Queru announced that Google is pushing the Android 4.2 source code to AOSP, after the company released the second Jelly Bean-branded operating system today. To complement Android 4.2 the Mountain View, Calif.-based corporation also uploaded the factory images for a number of Nexus devices.
The Android 4.2 source code will be available under the "android-4.2_r1" name, with the matching development branch named "jb-mr1-dev". Interestingly enough Queru says that the Nexus 10 is the best choice for AOSP work on the latest version of Android, which he considers the most open flagship device. But the Nexus 7 with 3G connectivity is not supported at the moment because of the GSM stack that is not yet licensed for the Android Open Source Project.
How to root Android 4.2
Today Google launches Android 4.2 alongside the new Nexus lineup. Galaxy Nexus as well as Nexus 7 owners that have the ability to run apps with elevated privileges are faced with a dilemma on whether to upgrade or not. Fear not, you can still root your Nexus using the latest version of Android.
The advantages of rooting are nothing to sneeze at. I run apps with elevated privileges more than a few times a day and I had to get the root capabilities up and running after upgrading to Android 4.2. The process is fairly straightforward and should not pose any difficulty even to less experienced users. I do have to mention that this guide can apply to the Nexus 4 and 10 as well, after developers release the compatible tools.
Getting started
Android 4.2 rolls out to Galaxy Nexus, update file available for Nexus 7
The wait is finally over! Google launches Android 4.2 Jelly Bean today alongside the new Nexus lineup with a treat in store for current Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 owners as well. The latest version of Android is rolling out over the air (OTA) for the year-old smartphone, with a manual update available for the ASUS-made tablet as well.
The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OTA update, build number JOP40C, is available for the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ sold via Google Play (codename "takju"). The point oner comes in at a rather small 74.3MB and, besides the announced improvements, at a first glance the update delivers a new baseband (I9250XXLH1 from the previous I9250XXLF1) and kernel (dated November 2) as well.
Google Play starts selling new Nexus 4, 7 and 10 devices
Today Google released Android 4.2 and new devices -- Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 -- running the software. The Nexuses (Should I say Nexi?) are available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. Unconfirmed user reports on blogs and social networks claim sell-outs in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Sales in North America commence at 9 am PT, from Google Play, representatives confirm.
LG makes the 4.7-inch smartphone and Samsung the 10.1-inch tablet, which join the ASUS-manufactured Nexus 7. The cloud services company announced the new products on October 29.
I was wrong about Google Nexus tablet
In December 2011, I asserted: "Google Nexus tablet in six months is a year too late". The search and information giant proved me wrong. After failing to quickly respond to iPad and leaving Android leaderless, Google has recovered with a bang-up Nexus device strategy. Damn, this is my second tablet mea culpa -- the first about iPad nearly 18 months ago.
Tomorrow, Google expands the number of available Nexus screens to three, all running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean: 4.7-inch smartphone that replaces Galaxy Nexus as flagship; 7-inch tablet updated with more storage for purchase price and new 3G model added; 10.1-inch slate with higher screen resolution than iPad 4. The devices are "pure Google" and produced by LG, ASUS and Samsung, respectively. The original Nexus 7 released in July, receiving rave reviews and generating, ASUS asserts, about 1 million sales per month.
Which survives the drop test, iPad mini or Nexus 7?
To be honest, you really don't want to know which one. Some tragedies are simply too painful to see. But if you delight in car crashes, then do watch Darcy LaCouvee plummet the Apple and ASUS/Google tablets to the cement. Informal drop tests like this one aren't exactly scientific, if for no other reason than Chaos theory. But they're nevertheless revealing and entertaining.
Like the iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S III drop test, the Android Authority reporter waited until the Apple device starting selling in stores to drop-test the tablets. He's back again from Hong Kong, in this riveting 5:39 video.
Get the Google Nexus 7 calendar app in the Galaxy Nexus
Even though the Asus Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus share the same version of Android and similar display resolutions, some apps are not identical. On the Google-branded Nexus 7 tablet, the Calendar app displays more information, and thanks to the modding community it's now available for the Galaxy Nexus as well.
Instead of the lines in the Calendar app from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the modded tablet variant shows a text description for each event of the day, making it a bit more useful.
Two modded versions are available at the moment, with the first based on the Calendar that ships with Android 4.1.2 and the second on the one available as a separate download from Google Play. Both can be used, but only the latter allows users to sync events dating back one full year.

I'm all for allowing wealthy owners to pump big sums of money into football and the PL. City and Chelsea have, recently, brought world class players to the PL which increases the quality of PL football.I think to protect the long term competitiveness of the game the PL should consider a salary cap structure along the lines of the MBA and NFL. This could keep the playing field somewhat even and protect to become a 2 team league like the Spanish league.The PL is already turning into a 2 or 3 team league with Man U, Chelsea and City ahead of the rest of the teams, but if each team can spend the same on wages there is a limit to the players they could bring in unless these player will play for lesser wages.To have financial fair play rules in place and not enforce them only creates confusion. I would think a salary cap might be easier to enforce and working models of this system exist so it won't be like re-inventing the wheel.

The purpose of the role of Credit Risk Manager in HCA-I is to establish best practice in financial risk management and identify and implement risk mitigation strategies in respect of a number of key HCA-I investment instruments and packages.
The post holder is the first line of credit assessment within HCA-I and must be capable of making decisions or providing concise evaluations and recommendations.
The post holder is a major day to day contact point for Operating Areas and must have a sound awareness of policy and procedures and be able to communicate these in a timely, commercial manner.
The Homes and Communities Agency is the Government's national housing, land and regeneration agency; and the regulator of social housing providers in England.
Since 2008 the HCA has been tasked with supporting and enabling places to deliver their housing and growth needs. It is part of the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) group, and is responsible for delivering against the Department's agenda as defined by Ministers.
In recent fiscal announcement such as the Autumn Statement and the Budget, there has been an increased emphasis in government policy on the use of financial instruments (ie. loans, equity investments and guarantees) in order to meet ministerial priorities around housing and growth programmes. These new investment programmes mean that the HCA and the wider DCLG group now has an emerging complex portfolio of long term financial instruments, which could grow to around £25bn within the next few years.
This requires a different skill set to the traditional grant based programmes, to manage effectively the new risk exposures. As a result, we are increasing our capacity and capability to manage an increasingly complex portfolio of financial instruments by building on the skills of our existing staff.
The HCA-I structure – with three distinct functions of Investment, Credit Risk and Portfolio Management – will provide HCA with additional technical expertise and discipline that would be expected in an organisation undertaking significant recoverable investment (real estate banking), alongside government expectations for social and policy outcomes as well as financial ones.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate the following:
- Recent and relevant experience developed in a corporate banking/investment institution, through structuring loans and /or equity investments
- Strong understanding of controls, governance and risk fundamentals, ideally developed through a role at a major financial institution
- Strong analytical and financial skills to be able to support the development, impact and performance of the HCA in its varied activities and, specifically its schemes utilising financial instruments
Ideally this experience will have been developed in a banking or an investment institution or in the residential, property or commercial land sectors.
These posts are permanent, but applications for fixed term appointments will be considered.
Posts will be located in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds, Gateshead, Manchester
Closing date for all applications: 9th May 2014

$90.15 is key level as it is the 100% Fib extension of the 2H2012 range. Putative topping action over the last few weeks has been working through this level. But as the last two weeks closed above this mark forming a high base, we are set up to go parabolic. Next fib mart is $98.62. Playing via the 3xbull ETF $TNA. Remember that if/when as we move beyond highs in the DOW & S&P500, hedges will be ripped off. And one of the most popular hedges? The inverse Russells 2K ($TNA), given low div burden. This will result in small out performing large cap for this phase of the leg.
The trend is your friend, and your friend wants to crush the shorts. Especially if Pres Obama admits his sequestration bluff has been called and he finds a way to postpone the start. Such may lead to a bit of a falling dollar, but it would further goose prices of assets in dollar terms allowing for a tailwind over the key technicals.
We see this move continuing for some time, as bonds start to underperform, the retail will finally make the move in mass to equities. Likewise, US will see flows as unease in the EU and periodic tension in Asia (Iran, N Korea, etc) will push money to American shores.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Correction: inverse Russells 2K = $TZA. sorry for the confusion. Again, playing this small cap bull thesis via $TNA.
Don't beleive me yet? Chart the $IWM on a month or OPEX period. A fib extension on the $IWM from it's 2003 low at $34,12. After the 2007 peak, it did a 100% retrace in 2009, then, in 2011, a full reversal. Then in Spet '11, a near text book 50% retrace, before another re3versal. Then a 50% retrace of that move, followed by a full reversal again. The range at $86 to $83 whould now convert from resistance to support. And while we are due for a throwback test of this support, would expect a breathless retrace once again.
The retail has finally discovered ETFs, and we are starting to see them being added into 401K plans. Also, as Baby boomers retire, they are moving funds out of 401k mutual funds, and into self directed IRAs, which allow them access to ETFs. As bonds under perform, yeild seeking baby boomers will move to equities, and while some will move toward div paying large caps, small caps out perform as they lead rallies.
As we leave $90.15 in the dust, investors around the world will run to US based small caps. She going parabolic.

What makes a town a community? Surely, it takes more than the simple infrastructure that supports city development and a growing population.

ATCO Structures & Logistics offers a variety of high-quality and versatile modular buildings, from the fire halls that help keep the community safe to the recreation centres where families come together and build memories. Whether you want to revitalize your community or build upon its existing rich history, our structures can blend seamlessly into your plan and town's character.
Or, in the event of emergencies, our relocatable and easy-to-set-up structures can help you accommodate unexpected needs for shelters and offices.
Here are just a few of the buildings we can create for your community:
Not only are our buildings ideal for temporary structures; their versatility, durability, and time and cost savings compared to stick-built structures make them the optimal solution for your permanent building needs.
We don't just help build cities, we help grow communities.

text: I have some problems with Windows Update and some other Microsoft services. One day, I bought NFS shift for PC and installed it and discovered that the Games for Windows Live client couldnt connect to the server. Also, when I tried to register a Games for Windows Live account (from play), you must open a page in Internet Explorer, but all I saw when IE opened a "Page Not Found" error. For the reason that, I checked a number of things on my PC and I found that Windows Update were not able to retrieve updates, but the odd thing is that I was able to install updates before do not acquaint with how long before though. I searched that the opening of space for somebody (from inside Windows Live Messenger and IE) is not functioning properly. The same story with Office Outlook Web Access: IE returns a "Page Not Found" error when Firefox displays the logon screen. Because the only clue I have is the error code from Windows Update, it seemed that Microsoft Knowledge Base and tried the solutions exist. All suggestions are welcome.

Maybe it shouldn't have been all that surprising that Kevin Brown was named on only 12 Hall of Fame ballots this week, and fell off the BBWAA ballot forever. But what about John Franco, who also fell off the ballot upon falling just two votes shy of the required five percent?
Franco had good reasons to think he would get that five percent, at least. And you can't blame him for being disappointed:
- It is with that sense of "What can I do?" that Franco viewed his brief and already complete run as a candidate for the Hall of Fame. The former Mets closer, who has the fourth-most saves in big league history (424) and the most by a left-hander, was named on merely 4.6 percent of the ballots cast by veteran members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America in the Hall balloting. As a consequence, he has lost eligibility for future consideration after his first year on the ballot.
The pitcher who finished 774 games is ... well, finished.
"It is disappointing," Franco said from his home. "I was hoping for at least 5 percent. I thought I'd get five. Anyone who has the fourth-most of anything -- hits, RBIs, wins, saves -- you figured it had to mean something. But it's another one of those things that you have no control over. So you just have to take it.
"Everyone has their opinion of a player and the job that he's done."
Hall of Fame voters have never known quite what to do with relief pitchers, but I'm a little surprised by what they did with John Franco.
Billy Wagner has been described as a potential Hall of Famer. Franco's got more saves than Wagner, and he pitched nearly 350 more innings.
Lee Smith consistently draws better than 40 percent in Hall of Fame elections. Franco earned 54 fewer saves than Smith, and pitched 46 fewer innings.
And then there are Hall of Famers Bruce Sutter and Rollie Fingers ...
I don't know if Wins Above Replacement really "works" for relief pitchers. Maybe WAR doesn't give relievers enough credit. But as long as we're merely comparing relievers to relievers, WAR seems as fine a measure as any.
Anyway, there are 12 relievers with WAR of 24 or better, and they can roughly be broken into four groups ...
50: Mariano Rivera
40: Hoyt Wilhelm, Rich Gossage
30: Trevor Hoffman, Lee Smith, Billy Wagner, John Hiller
25: John Franco, Bruce Sutter, Kent Tekulve, Rollie Fingers, Dan Quisenberry
Rivera's obviously in a class of his own, and will -- absent some horribly unwelcome revelation between now and (roughly) 2017 -- go straight into the Hall of Fame.
Wilhelm had to wait until his eighth try for election; Gossage had to wait until his ninth.
Hoffman's not eligible, but figures to be elected eventually. Smith's not making any progress. Wagner's not eligible. Hiller got 11 votes in his first appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot, and fell off forever.
Sutter's in the Hall of Fame because he won a Cy Young Award and helped popularize the split-fingered fastball. I wouldn't have voted for him, but that's why he's in.
Fingers in the Hall of Fame because he pitched ton of innings and pitched most of them for a team that won three straight World Series.
Tekulve and Quisenberry were ignored by Hall of Fame voters, in part because they were built like hungry scarecrows and didn't throw hard. Those are lousy reasons to discriminate against someone, but then that's the BBWAA for you.
If we were starting all over, I would probably draw the line between Gossage and Hoffman. If not behind Rivera, all by himself. As I've written before, I'm not convinced that relievers belong in the Hall of Fame at all, because I believe there have been many dozens and perhaps hundreds of pitchers in the major leagues who could have been outstanding relievers, except they were used as starters. How valuable can relievers really be, if so many great ones are so freely available?
But we've got the Hall of Fame we've got, not the Hall of Fame that we might want. And in the Hall of Fame we've got, two of the five pure relievers were little (or no) better than John Franco. Which leaves him, and us, to wonder what happened.

Don't be afraid to mix and match different patterns, colors and designs.
SOME TIPS: (1) It's always safe to keep the designs within the same "family" (pop, retro, floral). (2) If you want a mixed group, it's best to find common colors or similar shapes from each item and then build your set around that. (3) Remember to have fun!

- Artists Noah Pred, Miro Pajic
- Release Date 2012-07-20
- Labels Lazerslut
- Catalog LS032
- Description The "Pulsating" vocal-synth effect guides throughout a timeless 8 minute time travel. Classic funky 808 Drums beating and snapping inbetween a minimalstic, yet dense sound fog leading to a surprising climax and heavy, funky bassline. Deep and trippy, light and heavy at the same time. Thoughtless Music boss Noah Pred continues with a brilliant interpretation of "Pulsating". His prominent, thick and catchy bassline dominates and pushes like there's no tomorrow. Extremely dance-y drums and hypnotizing synth line make it an all situation dancefloor bomb! "Strip Down" brings back a non-trendy, classic "minimal" aesthetics with a modern flavour back into the 2012 game without sounding over done. Easy sounding drumcomputer programming let bodies shake in the strobe light and sweat while being nicely intimidated by a deep, driving low frequency bass thrust. Somebody's gotta do it! The bonus track is "A New Home, Another Planet", a sci-fi string and film orieneted pompous piece. Emotionally big and tearing, this 2 minute drum-less, vibey reflection of miro's deep and Blade Runner loving side closes this four track e.p..

Worked just fine, but not for long
This review is from: Fujitsu MHW2080BH 80GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Retail
Pros: Great price, super slim size, and a fairly quiet drive. It worked just fine in an external case to use as a portable drive to transfer data between my home and work PC. No external power needed, as a USB connection supplies plenty of power to use the drive on its own.
Cons: It died on me after only the second time using it. To be more specific, it spins up, but soon starts clicking (head crashing sound). It then spins down, and spins up again to full power for a few seconds, then clicking, and dead again. I partitioned and formatted it, then transfered data the first time I used it. I then got it ready to use a month later, and it was dead. Hopefully I just received a dud. It did originally arrive in an anti-static, sealed by Fujitsu, so it was most likely defective from the manufacturer.
Other Thoughts: Fujitsu will not accept RMAs on their items still covered by the warranty if the item was purchased "OEM" (not in a box). Fujitsu claims OEM item warranties should be honored by the vendor selling me the item. Newegg helped me out, and honored the Fujitsu warranty for my RMA. Kudos to Newegg for taking care of its customers.

Additional Information
About EDAPROSPOEDAPROSPO seeks to use micro-credit to foster productive commercial activity for the sake of economic and social development within vulnerable urban and rural sectors traditionally neglected by commercial banks. By offering innovative products such as technical education loans and microfinance groups for young people, EDAPROSPO helps disadvantaged Peruvians lift themselves out of poverty.
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.
