Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
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.

Darwyn Cooke talks about Before Watchmen's Minutemen, Silk Spectre
Comic book writer-artist Darwyn Cooke's pedigree as a creator is spectacular. His "Justice League: New Frontier" comic won many of comics' top awards, including an Eisner, Harvey and Shuster.
Cooke previously took on a revamp of "The Spirit," the character most associated with Will Eisner, and created a critically acclaimed work. And his graphic novel adaptations of Richard Stark's "Parker" novels have frequently found their way onto year-end "best of" lists. The next Parker adaptation, "The Score," is due out in July.
So Cooke was perhaps a natural choice for DC Comics when looking for a creator of unassailable credentials to work on the prequels to the "Watchmen" graphic novel.
"Before Watchmen" is a prequel to the graphic novel "Watchmen," in multiple miniseries with multiple creators. Alan Moore, who co-created the work with artist Dave Gibbons, has said he wished DC wouldn't have proceeded with the prequel project.
Set in an alternate 1985 on the brink of nuclear war, "Watchmen" is one of the medium's most acclaimed graphic novels. The mature, complex storyline was created by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons in 1986-87. It was adapted into a Zack Snyder film in 2009.
Cooke is writing and drawing "Before Watchmen: Minutemen" for the publisher, and collaborating with artist and longtime friend Amanda Conner on "Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre."
"Amanda and I have always kind of quietly watched one another do our thing, and think, yeah, you see? He gets it. She gets it," Cooke said in a recent interview with The Oklahoman. "We kind of approach things in the same obsessive way. And this just was an ideal opportunity. They had asked me to look at 'Silk Spectre' as a character. And while I could look at her as a character, I couldn't in full confidence say I'm the guy to write a 16-year-old girl. And once I had an idea, which I really was in love with, I kind of made it a condition that we bring Amanda in."
While he's working in a team for "Silk Spectre," that's not Cooke's usual method. And for "Minutemen," he's taking on his usual role as writer/artist. The Minutemen are a team of 1940s-era heroes from "Watchmen," the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
"To me, the Minutemen, the appeal of them is their humanity, you know, how completely sort of human they are, and how they all had their own agenda, and how they put this thing together in an ad-hoc fashion," Cooke said.
He said Moore and Gibbons' "Watchmen" has left room for further exploration of these characters.
"They were simply placeholders, or archetypes meant to represent what had come before," Cooke said. "So I had room to develop them as individuals, and that, I think, is working out as well."
Cooke says he can understand why some people might not want a "Watchmen" sequel to be created, though he disagrees.
"For the most part, I try to have respect for the subjective nature of people's attachment. There are things I'm subjectively attached to … I have to be able to respect the way they feel about it. I think that's important, whether I agree with them or not."
But he said he thinks the "noise" around the project has in some ways been distracting.
"I'm just going to put my head down, do my best, and let everybody sort it out later."
The first issues of "Before Watchmen: Minutemen" and "Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre" are on sale now, as is "Before Watchmen: Comedian" No. 1 by Brian Azzarello and J.G. Jones.

You'll probably all hate me for this, but it won't be used as intended (racing cross), rather as a fire road bike and fat tire roadie...
Disclaimer - I won't be able to ride this for another 2 months, so the seatpost and saddle are not dialed in.
I do hate you a little bit. That is awesome! I assume you ordered it in 07 and just now received it right?
I'm not one for fawning over bicycles, but I do believe that our bikes communicate with us, and what this bike is saying is, "You're an idiot." BikeSnobNYC
Nahhh...I bought it used. I wish that I could afford a new custom, or that I had a time machine so I could go back to 2005 when he took orders, but this was as good as I could get. I believe I'm actually the third owner.
I have the same pedals as you. And that is exactly where any similarity between my bike and yours ends.
Class looking bike. Well done man.

I had a Lemond Poprad that I LOVED, but which was ever slightly too small for me. It's one of the few bikes I regret selling, and I hope this rides as well as the humble Lemond did. This bike is total over kill for my purposes, but I've spent the past 3 months on a couch with a broken leg, and acquiring the bits and pieces, and dreaming of the build, helped keep me sane.
Here's a few of my CX's, along with my newest build(my 1st modern road bike)
My Kona JTS is my mud/rain/"dirty girl". I know I have to slam the stem, & remove the fenders, but I find it more "user friendly" when I have to commute.
My Opus is my "Tank", I use her to train, & commute. I changed the stock for with a CF fork. I've set a few KOM's with her, most of them for climbing.
I have a few 2nds, & 3rds with both of these girls.
Thanks to these girls, I thought I'd give road biking a try.
Giant Defy Dura Ace : Rip/Hammer-Specialized Allez Ultegra/105 : Recovery/Spinner-Specialized Allez Red : Trainer-Kona Major(Rad) Jake : Down & Dirty
Mine is a Nashbar Steel CX with 105's and a carbon fork. They sold them as a promo for 600 bucks when I bought. Couldn't be happier...except I need to find full fenders and brooks leather to class things up
98 miles with 40 miles of gravel trail along the Des Plaines river today. 700x38 Vittoria Randonneur Hyper on my Soma Double cross made for a smooth ride and a solid pace
When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.

Awesome Caloso. Let me know if you need any parts, I have a garage full.

Thanks, Cynikal. I may hit you up for a chainring. Speaking of parts, I had to swing by City the other day for a cable hanger and Bowen said, "Oh, is it cross season already?"

Took it out for a long ride (50 miles). The bike is getting dialed in, I can't wait to do a century!
^^^^Hell Yeah!!! How are you liking the Nashbar? Still on the fence about going that route or waiting who knows how long to find the perfect gem on craigslist, ebay, etc. Didn't know NC had such strong feelings for the military.
Finished getting my On-One built up this afternoon and took it out for a spin to tweak the fit. Ten mile verdict: light and lively!

Considering a bitcoin mining hardware purchase? Make a more informed decision with our Bitcoin Mining Dashboard.
Today Cointerra released more information on their ASIC bitcoin miner product line, as well as a more competitive pricing on the 2 TH/s miner. Cointerra is led by Ravi Iyengar, who was lead CPU Architect at Samsung Corporation prior to founding Cointerra. He has recruited a robust team of specialists and advisors including their most recent announcement of Timo Hanke as their Lead Cryptographer, who brings with him 15 years of research experience in computer algebra and number theory.
Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) are specialized chips that perform bitcoin mining calculations and have been rapidly changing the mining landscape. Disclosed in Cointerra's announcement is that they will be producing 2 PH/s (2,000 TH/s) worth of chips; at 500 GH/s per chip this amounts to 4,000 ASIC chips in their first run. Considering the current network hash rate is approximately 500 TH/s this amounts to 4x the current network speed, though they do not expect chips to arrive until December.
To capture a different segment of the market, Cointerra will be joining other ASIC bitcoin companies such as Avalon, Butterfly Labs (BFL) and Bitfury in bulk ASIC chip sales. They have two bulk sizes available: 20 chips for $57,400 or 50 chips for $139,750.
In order to mine using a chip from the bulk-order sales, the chip must be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) and attached to a power supply. Purchasing chips in bulk quantities poses two advantages to customers:
It's advantageous to Cointerra to sell chips in bulk since it allows them to focus on chip design and production, and will reduce their customer support requirements. Those that are more price sensitive can organize large group buys to obtain the discounted rate for large orders, much the way Avalon orders have been organized. Cointerra expects to release specific ASIC chip specs in the next few weeks so the community can begin working on the PCB design.
Last week Cointerra announced a fully assembled miner running at 2 TH/s. The miner consists of 4 ASIC chips running at 500 GH/s each, a PCB, a power supply, and a case. The price of this miner, the TerraMiner IV, was just reduced from $15,750 to $13,999 due to customer feedback, and earlier purchasers will be refunded the change in price. It appears likely these announcements will be followed by a fully assembled smaller miner using one or two chips. Additionally, they plan on offering a 20% bonus in hashing power if they miss their December target by more than 30 days.
The anticipated 2 PH/s will have a significant impact on the bitcoin network. With several companies planning on delivering ASICs over the next few months it would not be surprising to see the network over 5 PH/s total by the end of the year. ASICMiner is planning to ramp up to 1 PH/s with their second generation chips, Avalon is expected to deliver a total of 320 TH/s, Bitfury sold over 500 TH/s, and KNC expects to deliver anywhere between 500 TH/ and 2 PH/s, just to name a few companies. While execution and time to market will be everything for these companies, Cointerra is poised to be one of the most significant contributors to the network.

Oct 22 2007Stretched Prius Seats 8, Still Gets 50 MPG
Some guy modded his Prius into an 8-seater. It took over 200 hours of fabrication and cost around $10,000. It allegedly still gets 50 MPG. I don't really know what to say, except good for him. Notice how I'm not calling this thing a limo? That's because it's not. I did some investigative reporting and discovered that the dude extended it to accommodate his six kids -- which makes it a Prius station wagon owned by a man with too many children. Limos are elongated vehicles in which you get drunk and have sex with hookers. Now I'm not claiming to be a limologist or anything, I'm just claiming I banged a hooker in a real limo once. And let me tell you something else – she had the sexiest lazy eye I've ever seen.

And prius' are super gay!
Thats crazy they put six doors on it. traditional limos still only have 4 doors but an enormously extended middle window!
It pains me to admit it, but this actually looks better to me than the stock Prius.
Maybe he plans on making it run on complaining and dropping teddy grahams in the damn seat and having daddy find them 3 months later. GOD DAMN IT! ALRIGHT, NO MORE FOOD IN THE CAR!
does anyone else think this looks way 'shopped?
Re: 4, I totally think it does, as well.
I look forward to seeing this in the next season of Curb, when more of the Black family turn up and Larry has to get a bigger car.
I've seen "limo cars" that do actually have 3 rows of doors, but I can't imagine this being done to a normal car. Plus it's a Prius, wtf.
You should be sued for insulting people with disabilities
It is "shopped." It's a photoshop rendering done as a humorous commentary on how people drive efficient cars but then do stupidly unefficient things with them. Like a hybrid SUV? WTF. Why not just drive a normal size car like the rest of the world does?! Why waste our technilogical advances on feeling slight less guilty about our excess. Imagine all of us in Hybrid smart cars. It would be fun (think bumper cars) and they would practically run forever. If only we could get the SUV's off the street so the smart cars don't get squashed like bugs on their windsheilds.
Anyway check out an article on www.core77.com for an article about this and other images like it.
It's not "shopped." I actually know the guy who made this. It took him a really long time to do all the work on it. It's not a hoax.
Excellent job has been done. I think people actually need low height 3 raw Car, especially those who have big family. And this the best (at present only) option to enjoy benefits of both family car with fuel efficiency. Purpose of limo and this car is totally different so comparison with limo is wrong as per my opinion. I would love to talk with the person who has made this car and also like to get more information and pictures of the car.

I recently read a great blog post, from a company called The Name Inspector, about how to name your company or product. Whether your goal is to raise capital or gain the interest of partners or customers, the names of your company and products are critical.
In fact, when we first launched Growthink a decade ago, we started with the name BestBizPlan since we initially focused just on developing business plans. Realizing that we would expand beyond business planning, we changed the name to Growthink to reflect our desire and skill sets in helping entrepreneurs and business owners in growing their businesses via planning, capital raising, marketing, strategy and more.
The Growthink name has a better connotation and helps client, prospective clients, partners and employees better understand and relate to our mission. While I cannot attribute our company's success solely to our name, it certainly has helped us.
So, here are the ten ways for you to create great company (and/or product) names as suggested by The Name Inspector:
1. Use Real Words: These are names that are simply repurposed words. (e.g., Adobe, Amazon, Fox, Yelp)
This category also includes misspelled words (e.g., Digg (dig), flickr (flicker)) and foreign words (e.g., Vox (Latin 'voice').
2. Use Compounds: These names consist of two words put together (e.g., Firefox, Facebook).
3. Phrases: These names follow normal rules for combining words (but are not compounds) (e.g., MySpace, StumbleUpon).
4. Use Blends: Blended names have two parts, at least one of which can be recognized as a part of a real word (e.g., Netscape (net + landscape); Wikipedia (wiki + encyclopedia)).
5. Use Tweaked Words: Tweaked word names are derived from words that have been slightly changed in pronunciation and spelling - commonly derived from adding or replacing a letter (e.g., ebay, iTunes).
6. Use Affixed Words: These are unique names that result from taking a real word and adding a suffix or prefix (e.g., Friendster, Omnidrive).
7. Use Made Up or Obscure Origin Words: These names are generally short names that are either completely made up, or, since their origins are so obscure, they may as well have been made up (e.g., Bebo, Plaxo).
8. Use Puns: Puns are names that modify words/phrases to suggest a different meaning (e.g., Farecast (forecast, fore -> fare), Writely (rightly, right -> write))
9. Use People's Names: using a general name or the name from a personal connection (e.g., Ning (a Chinese name), Wendy's (founder Dave Thomas' daughter's nickname)).
10. Use Initials and Acronyms: names derived from the first letter of each word in the longer, more official name (e.g., AOL (America Online), FIM (Fox Interactive Media)).
A few months back, a unique conference called "AngelConf" took place in Silicon Valley. The conference was organized for angel investors and its goal was to educate angel investors on how to invest in startups.
Key questions that the event addressed were:
It was this last question that conference organizer Paul Graham from YCombinator agreed was the most important.
Graham's first point on this topic is that angel investors should pick startups that "make things that people want." Seems simple enough. However, Graham went on to say that angels should not invest in things that are already wildly popular. "By then it's too late for angels. VCs will already be onto them. As an angel, you have to pick startups before they've got a hit-either because they've made something great but users don't realize it yet, like Google early on, or because they're still an iteration or two away from the big hit, like Paypal when they were making software for transferring money between PDAs."
As such, angel investors need to be able to predict future market sizes (not just identify markets that are already doing well).
Graham's second point on this topic is that angel investors need to pick founders who are winners. On this point, he said the following:
"What makes a good founder? If there were a word that meant the opposite of hapless, that would be the one. Bad founders seem hapless. They may be smart, or not, but somehow events overwhelm them and they get discouraged and give up. Good founders make things happen the way they want. Which is not to say they force things to happen in a predefined way. Good founders have a healthy respect for reality. But they are relentlessly resourceful. That's the closest I can get to the opposite of hapless. You want to fund people who are relentlessly resourceful."
Now, what this means to you as the entrepreneur is that this is how you will be judged by many angel investors. They will judge the future potential of your business concept and they will judge the potential of you and/or your management team.
With regards to the potential of your business concept, you must convince them that your market is poised for growth, and in doing so, you MUST cite multiple research and statistical points that confirm your views (I can't reiterate enough how critical great market research is).
With regards to the quality of you, the founder, and/or your management team, you need to show the investor, via past performance and ALL current interaction between you and the investor that you are a winner. You need to show them that you make things happen. Here are some examples of how can you accomplish this:
These smaller, short-term accomplishments which show investors that you can execute and that you are clearly not 'hapless' will massively improve your chances of getting them to invest in you.
I want to tell you about a technique I picked up, that I can directly attribute to millions of dollars of revenues that I have generated over the years. But, even so, I'm far from mastering it.
The technique is a brainstorming technique called Assumption Reversal. It is incredibly powerful. It's the technique that has been responsible for, among many others, the ATM machine and Henry Ford's development of an assembly line which revolutionized manufacturing.
The Assumption Reversal brainstorming technique allows you to look at things differently and triggers new, creative ideas. It can be used to develop new business ideas and new product ideas, and for you to overcome virtually any challenge you face, from marketing obstacles to staffing difficulties and more.
I have put together a brief video that walks you through the four steps of the Assumption Reversal brainstorming technique and gives you a real-world example. I think you'll get much more from the video than just reading about it.
Mastering this technique could revolutionize you and your business. Check out the video below:
It was this last question that really bothered me...the notion that you can simple complete a form online and have angel investors (or venture capitalists) flock to your company. Our research shows that the chance of an angel investor funding your business based on an online form is about 0.01%, or 1,000 times WORSE than the odds of getting into Harvard Business School.
Sure there are many sites that tell you to pay them, submit your plan or complete their form, and that your plan will be sent to thousands of investors. And each of these sites prominently display their success stories. BUT, these success stories are the outliers. They are the 1 in 10,000 businesses that got funding for one reason or another.
The FACT is that angel investors (and venture capital firms) DON'T invest this way.
But, the good news is that tons of angel investor do invest, and in fact, they fund 15 times more companies than venture capital firms. According to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire, last year 55,480 ventures were funded by angel investors.
And because the public stock market has being doing so poorly, more and more individuals are considering angel investing.
So the angel investors and money is out there. It's just a matter of knowing how to raise angel capital.
From our recent research and having been raising angel and venture capital for the past decade, we uncovered all the ways that you and your business CAN raise this type of capital. And it doesn't include filling out forms online.

This Wine Is Rated:
TASTING NOTES:The wine is ruby red with violet reflections and spicy aromas of blackberry. On the palate, ripe berries lead to spices and sweet oak on a full body with firm tannic structure.HARVEST NOTES:It was a strange winter with little rain, except in February which saw heavy snowfall and very low temperatures below the seasonal average. rainfall in early spring was followed bya dry perido that last through September. Blossoming occurred in the first days of June, followed by a very rapid fruit setting and enlargement of the berry. Summer temperatures were higher than the seasonal average with little temperature difference between day and night. Our fortune was to provide emergency irrigation, where necessary, allowing for complete phenolic ripeness. The veraison began towards the end of July. A couple of heavy rains in the first days of September allowed the plants to resume their growth cycle, a very positive turn for the vintage. In spite of everything the harvest was anticipated compared to normal years; in fact the first grapes harvested were those of Merlot in the early days of September. Sangiovese was harvested around the 20th/25th of September. The 2012 vintage wines are well-structured with freshness and good acidity and marked balsamic and berry notes.REGION: Italy / TuscanyGRAPES: 50% Merlot40% Cabernet Sauvignon10% Petit VerdotSoils are a blend of clay, sand and the stony galestro limestone that is special to Tuscany. Grape clusters were reduced to one or two per stalk in May to assure maximum quality at harvest. In the winery, grapes were hand sorted and destemmed, and the skins were broken rather than crushed. Fermentation took place in a combination of temperaturecontrolled and lined, open-top tanks, with manual punching down and 25-day maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation. Lots were blended when the wine is placed in barriques and also at the first racking. The wine was aged 18 months in new French Allier barriques and 12 months in bottle.AGING: Matured for 16 to 18 months in French oakFOOD PAIRING:A delicious companion with full flavored meats, game and roast. - WineryPH: 3.58ACIDITY: 5.50 g/lABV: 14%

Abercrombie's food stamps, which the Indianapolis resident uses to feed the seven members of her family, were cut this month. If she hadn't been able to attend the holiday food giveaway at Saints Francis and Clare Catholic Church, the family would not have a Thanksgiving meal at all, she said.
This year, 400 Johnson County families registered for the event at the Center Grove area church Tuesday, where donated food, including turkeys, boxed stuffing and cranberry sauce, are passed out for free to help those in need.
Last year, 223 families registered for the event. The number of families in need has continued to grow every year as the economy has been slow to improve and word of the event spreads through organizations, schools and people who have attended in the past, the church's planned assistance ministry chairman Jerry Dean said.
The church receives the names of families who might need help on Thanksgiving from schools, civic groups and their own food pantry and puts together a list of who will be able to attend the event, Dean said.
A few people showed up hours early Tuesday and waited in the cold for the giveaway to start. When volunteers opened the doors to the church's gym, where the food was set up, hundreds poured in.
The church collects donations of canned and boxed items for two weeks before the giveaway and buys turkeys and pies for the families. The food covered tables and the floor in the church's gym, but with so many people expected to attend this year, how much each family would receive had to be limited, Dean said. Everything but canned vegetables and soups were limited to one per family, including pies, packages of rolls and bags of apples.
Greenwood resident Tammy Watts was happy to get anything she could. Watts, who recently had open heart surgery, has attended the event at the church for two years.
Food for her family, including her siblings, children and grandchildren, could cost more than $100 at a store. Watts said she barely brings in enough money from her disability checks to pay rent and the $80 a month she needs for medications, let alone extra holiday food.
The church has made Thanksgiving possible for her family these past few years, she said.
"(The volunteers) don't look at people differently or put people down or turn them away," she said. "If I could, I would donate because they do so well and this is so amazing."
For Abercrombie, feeding her husband, three children, mother and stepfather on Thanksgiving would likely cost $200, nearly a month's worth of food stamps. Abercrombie's husband, Darren Abercrombie, was injured in a motorcycle accident over the summer and can't work, she said.
The family receives disability checks, but those aren't enough to pay for everyday food costs, let alone a big holiday meal. At the giveaway, she planned to get a turkey, stuffing and any canned goods she could, she said.
Families could also get other items such as macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and soup, which were donated by parishioners.
Greenwood resident Becky Hill will work six days in a row at her retail job, including today and Black Friday. She won't have time to celebrate the holiday but wanted to get as much food as she could to cook meals for herself.
She was first in line at the church and waited six hours outside in the 35-degree weather.
The 63-year-old normally works as few as 12 hours a week at the store, and at a pay rate of $7 an hour, that's not enough to feed herself, she said.
"(The giveaway) helps 175 percent," she said. "It's over and above."

New London — Replacement nurses and technicians will arrive over the weekend for orientation sessions in preparation for a possible strike at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital that could begin on Wednesday.
In addition, hospital leaders said at a news conference Friday that in the event of a strike, there will be a "lockout" starting Dec. 1 to prevent the approximately 800 unionized nurses and technicians from returning to work until there is a new contract. AFT Connecticut, which represents registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and technicians, informed the hospital it could call for its members to go on strike for four days starting Wednesday.
Bruce Cummings, president and chief executive officer of L+M Healthcare Corp., the hospital's parent company, said a lockout would be necessary because an on-again, off-again strike would be too disruptive. He said there would be no disruption of patient services while replacement workers are at the hospital.
Union leaders accused the hospital of using "scare tactics" and said L+M has been "preparing for a strike as though it were inevitable" by making plans starting in July for replacement workers to use parking lots in the city.
"We remain hopeful that we can reach a mutual agreement and avoid a strike," Stephanie Johnson, president of the union representing licensed practical nurses and technicians, said in a statement. "However, we are standing strong and won't be bullied into giving up on our patients and our community."
Negotiations between L+M and the unions failed to reach an agreement Thursday, five days after the contract expired. Another negotiation session is scheduled for Tuesday.
Donna Epps, vice president of human resources at the hospital, said she was hopeful but not overly optimistic that a strike could be averted. The two sides remain far apart on some key issues, she said.
There has not been a strike at any hospital in Connecticut in 33 years.
Cummings said the main contract dispute is over job security issues, not wages. The union is asking for "overarching assurances" about job protections that no employer can give, he said.
"We've made our most flexible and comprehensive proposal, and the union leadership rejected it out of hand," he said. Workers "are not being well-served by union representatives," who he said have used "stubborn and destructive antics" during the negotiations and are leading membership toward an "ill-advised and expensive" strike, he said.
In response, Lisa D'Abrosca, president of the registered nurses union, said 90 percent of members polled said their negotiating committees are acting in their best interests.
Cummings said the hospital's offer is "as close to absolute job security as possible in a field that is rapidly changing," with new technology and recent decisions by insurance companies and government agencies on reimbursements significantly impacting finances.
In its latest offer, the hospital said it would not transfer jobs from acute care units including the Emergency Department, inpatient and critical care areas. The union has unfair labor practice charges pending against the hospital over previous transfers of unionized jobs to what the hospital considers nonunionized affiliates in L+M's physician practices, and is seeking to stop any future transfers to affiliates. Recent transfers include outpatient mental health and obstetrics and gynecology clinic services.
Union leaders said they offered to drop their proposal for a job security clause in the contract in exchange for the hospital agreeing to abide by a ruling due next month from the National Labor Relations Board on the unfair labor practice charges. L+M would have to agree not to appeal the decision.
Epps said the hospital declined the offer because it did not want a third party dictating hospital policy.
On Wednesday, the union filed a new unfair labor practice charge alleging that the hospital has interfered with employees' rights by threatening not to reinstate workers who go on strike.
The union said the hospital's last offer fell far short of the kinds of assurances it is seeking. Johnson said the hospital has acknowledged that it "intends to move infectious disease services, the diabetes center and occupational health services off-site next year alone.
"In fact, it appears as if they are intent on displacing services provided at the hospital by one-fourth of the skilled registered nurse workforce and nearly two-thirds of the professional licenses practical nurse and health technician workforce," Johnson said. "We could not agree to any proposal that puts so much that the community relies on at risk."

SFYTT - Happy Tails To You
Whew! I'm finally here with my very late sample for Jen's Sketch For You To Try. I couldn't wait to play with Snuggle Bunnies, one of the new sets My Favorite Things released this week. I love these sweet bunnies "holding ears" and the cute sentiment. The patterned papers and ribbon are from SEI's Dill Blossom collection. To pleat the ribbon, I just folded it over onto itself and stitched it in place using some brown burlap string.
Be sure to pay a visit to the SFYTT girls to see the sketch and all the fabulous projects!

I'm with you, what's with all that needless angst and complication? The Iceman dialogue you post could have been written back in the 1970's. Then there's the cliche about having the enlightened girlfriend explain it all to him. What the comic writers don't grasp is that this is Iceman's journey, and he needs to find his own way. And to be a hero, which is what he is supposed to be, he needs to slay the dragon of his own fear. As written, it's a botched scenario.
The thing with time travel in the Marvel Universe (especially when it pertains to the X-men) is that the general consensus is that it's more of an alternate reality timeline thing. While this is somewhat uncertain as to this group of X-men (as was shown when young Cyclops almost died and adult Cyclops kinda disappeared, it was strange), it's still more likely than not that this is an alternate reality Iceman than not. This wouldn't be the first time a major X-man has had an alternate reality homosexual counterpart, either- Wolverine from Earth-TRN208 had what was actually a really cute relationship with that reality's Hercules.
In closing, I'd like to mention that what Jean does here is so far from okay that it's laughable. Out of all the psychic X-men, Jean is one of the most sanctimonius when it comes to not reading other peoples' minds without their permission (she does it anyways, mind you...), so not only is this an actual serious invasion of Iceman's privacy in a very real sense, it would have been way, way nicer if she'd been a lot less aggressive about it.

I have two Linux systems, both running Debian Squeeze. Versions of (I think) the stuff involved are:
kernel: 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
ii nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2 support for NFS kernel server
ii libnfsidmap2 0.23-2 An nfs idmapping library
ii nfs-common 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2 NFS support files common to client and server
ii portmap 6.0.0-2 RPC port mapper
(The client doesn't have
nfs-kernel-server involved.)
I have a directory with ACLs:
# file: dirname

There are two users, neither one of which owns the directory:

uid=3005(nic) gid=3005(nic) groups=3005(nic),3999(foogroup)
jake user can create files in the directory without issues. The

AUTH_UNIX are correct--
uid=gid=3005, auxiliary gids=3005,3999-- and that the server replies with
NFS3ERR_ACCESS, which the kernel on the client maps to
EACCES (Permission denied).
Can anyone help me here?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Five years after the financial crisis, Bank of America Corp. is still feeling the effects in its pocketbook. And it's not over yet.
The Charlotte bank has struggled under the weight of legal settlements, attorneys' fees and forced mortgage buybacks more than any other bank in the five years since the meltdown.
Bank of America still faces a slate of lawsuits and legal claims that could add up to billions more in costs. Analysts have hesitated to project how much more they could actually add up to. But this much is clear: The bank's ongoing legal issues will take several more years to resolve.
Already, Bank of America has spent a total of $20.1 billion in the past five years on legal fees and litigation expenses, reports filed with the Federal Reserve show. The bank also has paid out or set aside another $35.7 billion to repurchase mortgages from investors who claim the bank misrepresented the quality of the loans, according to the bank's most recent quarterly earnings presentation.
Combined, that's a $55.8 billion price tag for legal entanglements since the crisis — far more than at peers like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo.
"Bank of America had been the real epicenter for all this," said Marty Mosby, a bank analyst with Guggenheim Securities. While he said the bank appears to be making progress on its current legal issues, investors still worry that more costs could pile up. "Is there a lingering surprise that is all of a sudden going to come back and hit you in the ninth inning?"
A Bank of America spokesman declined to comment for this story. But the bank's litigation status has been a frequent topic of conversation on earnings calls and investor conferences for many months. CEO Brian Moynihan regularly cites cleaning up the bank's legal woes as a top priority.
And he has made headway. Bank of America has settled three large-scale conflicts in just the past year.
In the first, the bank agreed to pay $2.43 billion to settle a shareholder lawsuit over its 2009 acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Soon after, Bank of America came to a $10 billion agreement with mortgage giant Fannie Mae over more than $1 trillion in loans sold to the government-sponsored entity that went bad. In May, the bank agreed to pay bond insurer MBIA about $1.7 billion to settle a dispute over who should take the loss on soured mortgage-backed securities.
It has also slowly come to agreements with other types of investors who bought loans from Bank of America or from Countrywide Financial Corp., the subprime lender the bank acquired in 2008. Amid the housing collapse, many of these loans went bad, and investors sought to force the bank to buy them back.
"I think we've made a lot of progress," Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson told investors at a conference this month.
Still, the possibility of future legal costs and losses has continued to weigh on the bank's stock price. Bank of America shares are down more than 50 percent from where they were just before the financial crisis.
In an unscientific poll this month at an investor conference in New York, participants were asked what would most influence them to buy Bank of America stock. The most-cited answer: getting more clarity on the bank's litigation picture.

War and Darkness
With all of Europe embroiled in World War II and the United States on the verge of entering the conflict, Henry Cadbury seemed to his wife and others a driven man. In addition to his endless efforts to speak and write against war, he accelerated his already prodigious output of scholarly articles, reviews, and chapters.
Some of these projects were directly related to his pacifist concerns. In 1940 he developed a special reading list on "War and Religion" for the Bulletin of the General Theological Library, bringing together some of the research on this subject which he had been engaged in over the past twenty-five years. And in the same period he wrote a paper for the Civil Liberties Committee of the American Bar Association, preparing its case in support of the Jehovah's Witnesses, who refused to salute the American flag. Henry Cadbury's paper covered the refusal of certain early Christians to wear the laurel wreath when presented by the emperor; the disobedience of Quakers in Barbados, Virginia, and South Carolina to laws governing the holding of slaves; and more recent problems of Christians in Korea and Formosa when asked to participate in Shinto services, revealing something of the sweep of his scholarship.1
But there were other projects as well. Howard Brinton was editing a new festschrift, Byways in Quaker History, this one in honor of William Hull, a Quaker historian at Swarthmore. Henry Cadbury chapter was titled "John Greenleaf Whittier as Quaker Historian." Writing to praise the essay, Rufus Jones told of having gone when he was a young man to meet the Quaker poet.2
Results of his year's work on the Fox papers were still coming to fruition. In 1940 the British Friends Historical Society published Henry Cadbury Swarthmore Documents in America, a group of letters
