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.

Report: Daxx Garman will transfer to Oklahoma State
Daxx Garman is coming back to Oklahoma.
The former Jones quarterback whose ineligibility caused the Longhorns to forfeit six wins in 2009 will transfer from Arizona to Oklahoma State, the Arizona Republic reported.
Garman told the newspaper Thursday he will enroll at OSU early next month. He must sit out the 2012 season but will be eligible to compete as a sophomore in 2013. He redshirted at Arizona this fall.
"I'm getting the opportunity to move closer to home," Garman told the Republic. "My family can be more involved in the situation, and I felt like it's a better opportunity for me. Oklahoma State, they have a great football environment. The fans are great people there, and they support the Oklahoma State football program completely. I'm very excited to be a part of that."
Oklahoma State coaches recruited Garman during his high school career, which was filled with eligibility questions at every stop.
Garman, who lived in Choctaw, transferred to Carl Albert with a hardship waiver for his sophomore season. He spent the year as the Titans' backup quarterback.
His family moved to Jones before his junior season, but OSSAA rules stipulate that, because he had transferred before, he would need to apply for another hardship waiver to be eligible in Jones. The Garman family did not apply for another hardship, so he was ruled ineligible for six games of his junior year.
The family then moved to the Dallas area, and Garman won the starting quarterback position at Southlake Carroll. But he was ruled ineligible there right after his senior season started because of more eligibility questions.
Garman told the Republic that his transfer had more to do with moving closer to his parents, who still live in Southlake, than the changing offensive scheme at Arizona.
The Wildcats fired coach Mike Stoops in the middle of this season and hired former West Virginia and Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez to replace him.
Garman was granted a scholarship release before Rodriguez was hired. He spent his true freshman season as the Wildcats' third-string quarterback behind Nick Foles and Bryson Beirne, also a true freshman.

There are a large number of positive reviews of the sleep number bed from satisfied customers.
While smaller in number, there are also a notable amount of negative reviews of the product.
Perhaps because of this overwhelmingly positive view, other consumers have been tempted to buy one of these beds for themselves.
You may be wondering, however, what exactly is the upside of this type of bed?
Why has it gained such popularity in the last few years? Are the problems noted in the negative reviews significant? Is this type of bed the right choice for me?
Main Advantages of a Sleep Number Bed
Advantage #1: The Adjustability
This probably seems obvious, as it's the main selling point of the bed. Air pumps, along with sealed air chambers, on each side of the bed allows the user to adjust how soft or firm the mattress is. This is a huge advantage, because it allows a couple to adjust their side differently, and also allows you to change the firmness should something warrant a change.
Advantage #2: Reduction of Pressure Points
Roughly 20% of Sleep Number owners report a reduction in pain that they used to feel in the mornings when using a standard bed. According to these consumers, reduced pain is felt mostly in the upper and lower back, shoulders, and other joints, like the hips or knees.
Advantage #3: Allergy Free
Since the sleep number bed's core is an air mattress, it has much less fabric-based material within it to trap allergens. Additionally, the modular nature of it's construction, as well as the "zip open" cover mean that you can open the mattress to vacuum it. Together, the much lower volume of allergen-trapping fabric, and the ability to clean the mattress contribute to an improved product for allergy sufferers.
Advantage #4: Portability and Ease of Movement
The Sleep Number bed is a modular system that is built with separate parts, like the cover that can be zipped off, and air chambers that can be fully deflated. Additionally, since the mattress "padding" is air, rather than foam, metal springs, or padding, it is extremely light. These features mean that the bed is easy to move around if you are redecorating, easier to move to a new house, and also cheaper to ship if you need to do so.
Advantage #5: Isolation between partners
Somewhat similar to a memory-foam bed, but accomplished in a different way…the sleep number bed does not transfer motion between the left and right hand side of the bed. Because of this, you won't wake your partner up, or otherwise disturbe them if you move around, or get out of bed.
Advantage #6: A more restful sleep, with less tossing and turning
Because the sleep number bed offers a more even distribution of weight, with fewer pressure points, most owners report more restful sleep, with sharply reduced occurances of tossing and turning. Many report waking up in a more alert state, and are more ready to start their day.
While not scientifically proven, the theory is that fewer pressure points reducesemi-conscious turning, which results in a longer period of REM, or rapid eye movement sleep. REM sleep is the deeper portion of your sleep time that is commonly believed to provide the bulk of the resorative benefits of sleep.
Advantage #7: Pregnant or Overweight Owners:
Pregnant women tend to prefer the Sleep Number bed more than other mattresses due the ease of adjustment and high level of support. Because their bodies are changing month to month, and sometimes week to week, the ability to adjust the firmness with a simple dial is something other mattresses don't offer. While their bodies may not be changing as frequently, owners that are overweight also appreciate the adjustability that can accomodate different sleeping positions.
Also be sure to read our article summarizing the disadvantages of the Sleep Number Bed.
Sleep Number Build Quality
The mattress in a sleep Number bed is built from two distinct air chambers, as opposed to a traditional mattress that uses traditional metal coils and springs to provide the primary support for your body.
This unique design, according to the manufacturer, allows the bed to provide better cushion and comfort, less transfer of movement between two people, as well as settings that are easily customizable to each person's needs and preferences.
Sleep Number beds are developed and patented by Select Comfort, a U.S.-based manufacturer that not only specializes in the production of these unique mattresses, but also the development of optional accessories that complement this product. By making use of the ideal "Sleep Number" setting, a personalized numerical setting from zero to 100, the idea is that one can ensure maximum comfort and a great night's sleep. This number generally represents the mattress firmness and comfort level, based on the level of support your body needs.
This seems to the main crux of their marketing campaigns, with the mantra being "What's your Sleep Number?"
Medical Conditions That Can Improve With The Sleep Number Mattress
Sleep Issues that may improve with a Sleep Number Bed
There are many disorders and conditions that can interfere with proper sleep and cause increased fatigue.
A Sleep Number Bed may help with many of these issues, since they promote a more even distribution of body weight, allowing you to sleep more comfortably.
The following is a list of the most common. If you have these symptoms, you should consult your primary physician.
Insomnia: Can include difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, waking too early or not waking refreshed. Some of the causes are behavioral or psychological; however, there are a variety of reasons for this condition.
Sleep apnea: Can include excessive snoring or disruptions in breathing. During sleep, the muscles in the throat become more relaxed. In obstructive sleep apnea, the person's airway collapses, restricting air flow. In relatively rare conditions, it's the result of the brain failing to properly signal the muscles which affect breathing. Depending on the cause of the disorder, treatment may involve behavioral modification or special equipment to help regulate the sleeper's air flow at night.
Restless Legs Syndrome: Symptoms can include unpleasant or painful feelings in legs and arms, interfering with restful sleep. Some causes include excessive caffeine intake or prolonged inactivity, but often these are a secondary symptom of other medical conditions like diabetes, anemia or pregnancy.
Narcolepsy: Symptoms can include excessive drowsiness and a tendency to fall asleep at inappropriate times. The cause of this disorder is still unknown, but it typically afflicts teenagers and young adults. While no cure is known, there are several treatment options available to alleviate symptoms.
Fibromyalgia (FMS): Thought to be caused by a chemical dysfunction within the brain, causing widespread muscle pain and fatigue. It produces pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons – the fibrous tissues in the body. This pain can vary in severity from day to day, but it can and does interfere with the performance of even simple, everyday tasks. It is estimated that more than 6 million Americans suffer from FMS. Over 80% of FMS sufferers are women of all ages and ethnicities.
The exact cause of FMS is unknown and currently there is no known cure. Sleep disturbances are common with FMS, and traditional treatments are geared toward improving the quality of sleep as well as reducing pain.1
Arthritis: Arthritis is a chronic disease of the joints, distinguished by painful inflammation. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by the same type of chronic pain in joints, muscles and tendons, but without inflammation.
1 These statistics are based on information available from the Oregon Health Sciences University in conjunction with the National Fibromyalgia Research Association.
Selected Reviews from Satisfied Customers
First of all, the mattress can support two different firmness settings, one for each side of the bed. Select Comfort claims that there is no "one size fits all" in sleep support and comfort, which is the reason why these beds can accommodate a maximum of two users needs and settings at the same time, something a regular mattress definitely could not provide.
Because the bed's settings can be adjusted at any time, you are able to change the bed as your preferences or needs change. This feature potentially cuts some of the gap between the relatively high price of the bed as compared to a regular innerspring mattress. You might avoid purchasing two different mattresses because of a life change such as weight loss or gain, pregnancy, back problems, etc.
Some chiropractors have also lauded the merits of using a Sleep Number bed. As people grow older, many will develop aches and pains in various parts the body. These aches and pains, according to the manufacturer, can sometimes be relieved by the bed's unique support and design. While that claim can't really be proven, studies do show that a good night's sleep does wonders for one's psychological and physical well-being. Waking up refreshed, without the hint of pain, is always ideal for anyone of any age.
The Sleep Number bed may also be beneficial for pregnant women. With the numerous body changes plus the burden of carrying that additional weight, many pregnant women find it very hard to locate a comfortable sleeping position. This can lead to annoying tossing, turning and perhaps sleepless nights. The mother-to-be can simply adjust the settings until she finds a suitable and comfortable number.
Recreational Vehicle owners seem to be particularly excited about the bed. Since the bed arrives from the factory deflated, they are able to install the bed into their RV without the hassle and bulk of a traditional bed. They can also easily deflate and move the bed if needed, or adjust the firmness based on whether the vehicle in moving, stationary, level or not level, etc.
Some have reported a few Sleep Number bed problems, including some consumers claiming that the felt like sleeping on a balloon, the material was too hot, the seam between the chambers was uncomfortable, etc. Do keep in mind that most popular mattress brands also have a fair number of negative reviews. A September 2014 survey conducted by sleeplikethedead.com, showed that that majority of Sleep Number bed consumers (around 78%) were quite satisfied with the product. That said, some of the points in the review may be worth noting, so do take note.
This bed is truly a different product, combining a unique idea with good quality and function. Try one now and you may feel the differences that other owners have noted. Because the bed is such a different design, and also because of the relatively high cost of any specialty bed, we do recommend that you carefully read our articles that cover both the advantages and disadvantages of the sleep number bed. It may also be a good idea to spend an afternoon in one of their showrooms and try the bed out.

How to avoid the entrepreneur's doomsday mistake
Dec 12th
By Emeric Ernoult, {grow} Community Member
I am an entrepreneur who has made a lot of mistakes.
Ultimately, I have created a successful start-up (more than once!) but I am passionate about helping others and today I thought I would reflect on what I have learned about overcoming mistakes with your new business. Especially the BIG ONE.
1. Don't fear most mistakes
Making mistakes is unavoidable. Even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs made big mistakes, and there is no doubt that you will too.
Most of the time, mistakes are beneficial as you learn what works and what doesn't. Sometimes there is actually no other way to learn that! The mistakes will happen, so most of the time, embracing them and learning from them is the best attitude to take.
"Move fast, break things" is one of Facebook's mottos. In a way, that means "don't be afraid of making mistakes as long as you move things forward quickly." I like that.
2. Be aware of the doomsday mistake that will kill your business
I'm not afraid of mistakes. Well … with one exception. There is one kind of mistake that will not help you grow. It will kill your business. Here it is. Are you ready?
The doomsday mistake is thinking you are building a product or service that people want to pay for when, in fact, they won't.
You're probably thinking "duh, I knew that." Well, I thought I knew that too and I made that mistakes twice! And I am a smart guy. But being smart does not prevent you from making that mistake. Actually, it makes it even worse, because the smarter you are, the better you are at convincing yourself and others that you have a great idea that people will pay for when you actually don't!
Here is the thought process that leads smart people into the doomsday mistake:
- We have a great idea (or one we think is great)
- We get excited and manage to get a couple people excited as well. Now people are confirming that this is a good idea!
- We start investing time and/or money building a product or service from that idea
- We invest a LOT in it before it hits the market so we can judge reaction
- When it does hit the market, it does poorly
- We blame the initial failure on marketing, not enough ad budget, not enough VC money, etc
- We fire the agency and spend more money on marketing and advertising, thinking that will fix the problem,
- Nothing changes
- 3 years later and our savings have gone away
- We finally realize that not enough people were ready to pay for this product or service
- We promise ourselves we will never make that mistake again
If you read these lines and get the point, you've saved yourself a lot of heartbreak and money!
3. Insulating your business from the doomsday mistake
Before spending money on product development, spend money to determine if there is a sufficient market demand. I know the mantra of Silicon Valley is "just build it" but that can also lead to big problems.
Here is an example of an entrepreneur who did it right:
Noah Kagan had the idea of selling apps at a discount. But building the infrastructure of a new business was going to be a big investment in time and money … an investment he could not afford to make without some assurance of sales!
So he built a nice landing page with a description of the idea and an email capture form. He then ran a very small ad campaign on adwords ($50 I think) to promote his concept. He got a good CTR on his ads and a lot of emails from people interested in the idea.
With very little investment, he had an indication that the market was ready to pay for his idea, so he built it and has been tremendously successful with AppSumo.
Here is another example of mitigating risk from the real estate business.
A good friend of mine invests in properties so he can rent them. Making a wrong decision can cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Every time he sees a property he wants to buy, he runs an ad in the local newspaper (or website) to "rent" the place he is considering. This allows him to test demand for a property before he buys it and also tests the price points. No (or few) calls means that this piece of real estate will be a risky investment. Lots of calls mean that it will be a good investment.
Your turn, what is the deadliest mistake you think entrepreneurs can make and how are you mitigating risk?
Emeric Ernoult is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of AgoraPulse, a company providing Facebook management and analytics capabilities.

Great blog! Thanks for your honesty and openness. Quite agree that it is not always wise to 'just build it' or 'launch ugly'. Business is always about risk but without testing the market first the risk is far greater.

Thanks @christine_webber:disqus, I totally agree that risk is part of the equation, but our duty, as entrepreneurs, is to mitigate it as much as we can. The cost of not doing that is too expensive for our bank account, stress level and health!

Really good advice Emeric. Also great to know that even when one project doesn't work its important to learn from the mistake, get back up, dust yourself off and start again! Great honest post
Thanks @disqus_KEMcQqPbjk:disqus I know you're the kind of person who will get back up whatever happens!

CHICAGO -- For most, mentioning Chicago conjures up mental pictures of Michael Jordan soaring through the air in his black and red basketball uniform, leading the Bulls to yet another victory. But as any visitor to the Windy City is likely to discover, there is much more to this place than its impressive basketball legacy. Chicago offers its visitors all the energy and bustle of a major city, combined with the beauty of Lake Michigan. Although the list of things to do and see is quite ...

Software development tools company Embarcadero Technologies Inc. today announced survey results that indicate 2015 will be a big year for developing business-related Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) blasted the "outrageous" and "onerous" Apple Developer Agreement in explaining why the civil liberties organization won't have an app on the Apple App Store.
Meet the new year, same as the old year -- at least in terms of what technology niches are most likely to see the largest salary increases for software developers.
Trade shows, jobs reports, developer surveys and industry analysts all point to connected device development for the Internet of Things as being one of the hottest niches in mobile development for the coming year.
Traditional Windows toolmaker Syncfusion has for the first time added Android and iOS controls to its flagship studio product.
It might be a bit early to proclaim 2015 the "Year of WebRTC," but the nascent Web Real-Time Communication technology seems to be gaining significant traction early on.
Applause has provided app quality stats for the health and fitness industry, one of the hottest areas of mobile development, to guide coders.
Microsoft, still struggling as a distant No. 3 in the mobile app OS wars, provided statistics about its Windows Phone Store app downloads and offered tips to developers to maximize success.
From traditional coding with Java in the venerable Eclipse IDE, the new normal for Android app development may soon be programming with the young Go language in the brand-new Android Studio.
A new survey shows problems with UI development cause project delays and cancelations and poor user adoption for apps that do get published.
For months Google had warned Android developers that the official IDE for programming in Java against its popular mobile OS would eventually become its own Android Studio, supplanting the venerable Eclipse IDE and its Android Developer Tools (ADT) plug-in -- and that day came yesterday.
Besides coding and monetization, a third key component of mobile app success has lately been gaining increasing attention in the development industry: analytics
Mobile development tool maker AppGyver yesterday introduced a new framework called Supersonic that the company claims achieves the Holy Grail of advanced HTML5-based hybrid apps: performance parity with native apps.
Ongoing security vulnerabilities on the Android mobile platform are still plaguing developers, and the bad guys are even making inroads on iOS attacks, according to a new report from Trend Micro Inc.
Facing a crucible of providing more sophisticated apps in shorter cycles, mobile front-end developers will be forced to rely on composition -- using prebuilt code components instead of coding all functionality from scratch, according to predictions from analyst firm Forrester Research Inc.
The Microsoft Open Technologies group has released an initial preview of a new plugin for JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE and the open-source Android Studio IDE.
The new HP Mobile Center integrates with the company's application lifecycle management (ALM) tools to provide on-premises mobile app testing in real-world networking conditions on actual devices.
With app management platforms proliferating in the new mobile-first era, Sencha Inc. has added some new twists to its offering such as including desktop applications in the mix and addressing the "Android fragmentation" problem with its Web-based cross-platform approach.
Cross-platform UI toolmaker Infragistics has released an update of its Ultimate toolkit that includes new and expanded features aimed at developers building "Microsoft Office-inspired," touch-enabled, high-performance business apps.
The latest mobile development survey from Appcelerator Inc. shows a "sometimes dramatic" disconnect between the realities of coders on the front lines compared with those of IT decision makers, especially concerning the areas of project ownership and tools used.

Great classy pics. I look forward to them.
Being Bombshelled was so much fun, John and Carol Ann are awesome.
Without doubt the most flattering pictures of EVERYWOMAN they "shoot". Astounding what they do for all the women they serve. A wonderful wake up call for men to appreciate the woman in their world…..Awesome just begins to describe what they can do.
Bombshell Pin up Production makes every girl feel beautiful inside and out! The work that they do is amazing and I am thrilled to be a Bombshell girl. It was an amazing experience from the consultation to picking up my Bombshell masterpiece!!!!
I LOVE Bombshell! I may be partial to my photo, but I honestly love them all! Carol and John do amazing work! Hooray for Bombshell!! If you haven't been Bombshelled, you need to do it! It is so much fun and it helps you feel amazing about yourself!
Bombshell pictures are great! I love browsing all the pictures and I agree that ALL women are beautiful and should be respected as such. Our society is so hug up on super models that it gives a false sence of what real beauty is. Real beauty comes from inside and, while not everyone can show it all the time, these pictures demonstrate it in great taste. Every woman should be told they are beautiful 1 time a day at least, it helps all of us when they see the true inner beauty of them selves and the men in their lives appreciating them. Great job and keep it up.
I absolutely LOVE the Bombshell Pinups! The concepts and images are amazing!
Carol Ann, John, and all the Bombshell staff are a class act… and what an amazing experience. Being a Bombshell certainly unleashed my inner sexy diva. Every woman should do this for themselves. It is the experience of a lifetime and I'm so glad I did it!

Shinji Mikami explains why Resident Evil series became more action-oriented
Resident Evil had a very obvious tone shift in the middle of the series, dropping survival-horror in favor of something a little more action-oriented.
Shinji Mikami, in an interview with IGN, explained that the change was due to the poor reception that the Resident Evil remake had on the GameCube. Apparently, the remake did poorly in sales and Mikami opted for a genre that would be more of a crowd pleaser. "Because of the reaction to the Resident Evil remake," said Mikami, "I decided to work more action into Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 4 would have been a more scary, horror-focused game if the remake had sold well."
Of course, this experience that Mikami's had with the remake is probably going to carry over to his new IP, The Evil Within, which seems to be a return to the developer's survival horror roots. "I have kind of a lingering trauma there, because the Resident Evil remake didn't sell – much more than people would think," said Mikami.

Salanoia concolor
|Scientific Name:
|Salanoia concolor
|Species Authority:
|(I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1837)
Common Name(s):
Salanoia unicolor (I. Geoffroy St-Hilaire, 1837)
Salanoia durrelli Durbin et al. 2010
Salanoia olivacea (I. Geoffroy St-Hilaire, 1839)
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable B1ab(ii,iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Hawkins, A.F.A., Durbin, J. & Dollar, L.
|Hoffmann, M. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) & Duckworth, J.W. (Small Carnivore Red List Authority)
Although this species is not well known, the current extent of occurrence is estimated at less than 20,000 km², and the habitat within this range is fragmented and continues to decline as a result of ongoing threats. There is currently no evidence of hunting, persecution, or the effects of non-native carnivores, although there is a need to determine the extent of these threats, in light of which the species may require uplisting to Endangered.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This little-known species is endemic to northeastern Madagascar. The species has been recorded in the Masoala Peninsula, Zahamena National Park, and Betampona Strict Nature Reserve. There are only four confirmed recent localities, including two individuals with aberrant coloration in reed beds of Lac Alaotra at around 800 m (J. Durbin pers. comm.). There were also historical records from the area surrounding Lac Alaotra. The known records in rainforest range in elevation from 200 to 650 m. The type locality is unknown. There are historical records from Mananara MAB Reserve (Albignac 1973). Despite substantial trapping efforts in eastern rainforest over the last 15 years above 600 m, the species has not been recorded in any new sites (S.M. Goodman pers. comm.).
|Countries occurrence:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|There is no information on the population status of this secretive species. The only locations where there have been recent multiple observations are Betampona Strict Nature Reserve (Britt and Virkaitis 2003) and Masoala National Park (F. Hawkins pers. comm.).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is a diurnal species that has been recorded from lowland tropical humid forest, and possibly from the reedbeds surrounding Lac Alaotra (J. Durbin pers. comm.). The animals rest in burrows or hollow trees during the night. Usually found singly or in pairs.The gestation period is about three months and there is a single young (Albignac 1973). This species is shy and sensitive to human disturbance.
|Major Threat(s):
|It is threatened by deforestation of its habitat through conversion to cultivated land, selective logging and charcoal production. The lowland forest below 500 m is one of the most threatened habitats in Madagascar. There is no knowledge of hunting, persecution, or the effects of non-native carnivores, although it is certain that these occur within the species' range.
|Conservation Actions:
|This species has been recorded from Masoala National Park, Zahamena National Park, and Betampona Strict Nature Reserve. Additional work is needed to determine the current status of the populations of this species across its range, as well as basic information on its ecology and natural history.

by rashvinjeet s. bedi, wani muthiah, anda. ruban
PETALING JAYA: The crisis in Pakatan Rakyat stems from the fact that Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim did not think his plans through, said Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.
Zaid, a former PKR leader who helped draft Pakatan Rakyat's Common Policy Framework, said that if a decision on the Selangor Mentri Besar's position had been made months ago, Anwar should have sought everybody's views then.
"He thinks that whatever he wants, people will follow. As the opposition leader, he has shown a poor example on how to present a united front," Zaid said when contacted.
A crisis is brewing in Pakatan over the position of Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as Selangor Mentri Besar. Last Wednesday, the Pakatan leadership agreed in principle for Khalid to be replaced as Selangor MB by Kajang assemblyman Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
However, PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat have shot that down and publicly supported Khalid.
The situation blew up when a leaked WhatsApp conversation revealed PAS central committee member Dr Zuhdi Marzuki discussing the possibility of the party working together with Umno while retaining Khalid as Selangor MB.
Zaid, however, does not think that Pakatan will split up, although it will be weaker.
"If they break up, Barisan Nasional will kill them (the individual parties). However, it won't be the same again for them," the former Kota Baru MP said.
Asked if PKR had valid reasons for wanting to replace Khalid, Zaid said it did not but as a party person, Khalid should abide by PKR's position. "He should abide by the party's decision unless he decides to leave it," Zaid said.
PKR treasurer-general William Leong also said the right and proper thing for Khalid to do now would be to step down amicably.
Former Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh said PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should remove Khalid as soon as possible.
"I have done my part and now it's time for Anwar to use his clout to remove Khalid," said Lee who resigned as Kajang assemblyman to make way for Anwar in the infamous Kajang Move.
In George Town, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the party wanted a clear stand from all political party leaders that there would be no objection to a woman being appointed as Mentri Besar.
"If every political party accepts a woman can be a Mentri Besar (or a Prime Minister), then we can look at pros and cons on the replacement (of Khalid)," he said.
Lim said the Federal Constitution does not say that a woman cannot be Mentri Besar. "Where is this stated? Are we going to reject Dr Wan Azizah's candidacy because she is a woman?" Lim said at a press conference at his office yesterday.

After a lull of nearly five months, the Indian primary equity market is finally seeing some action. Betting on an improvement in market conditions and revival in investor sentiment, as well as strong earnings growth in the retail jewellery sector, Mumbai-based Tara Jewels has proposed to tap the capital market with its R179.5-crore initial public offering (IPO).
Of the total, the company intends to raise R109.5 crore by fresh issue and the balance R70 crore by way of offer for sale (OFS). Tara Jewels has 30 stores across India and we are aiming to roll out next 20 stores through the net proceeds, mainly in north and central India, said Rajeev Sheth, CMD,
Tara Jewels, addressing a press conference.
The price band is fixed at R225 to R230 per share with a face value of R10. The issue, which opens on November 21 and closes on November 23, has been assigned IPO grade 3 by CARE Ratings. Bids can be made for a minimum of 50 equity shares, followed by a multiple of 50 shares thereafter, and the shares would be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Axis Capital and ICICI Securities are bookrunning lead managers (BRLMs) to the issue.
Though the timing seems suspect, the lead managers to the issue remained optimistic on the success of the IPO and said the issue was attractively price in context of the current market conditions.
The issue is attractively priced. Some of the peers are trading at much higher multiples and we are expecting a good response. In addition, recent government reforms have brought improvement in the secondary market and revival in investor sentiment, which prompted us to go ahead with the IPO, said a lead manager on the sidelines of the conference.
Tara Jewels is engaged in manufacturing, exporting and retailing of diamond jewellery. The company intends to use the proceeds for expanding its chain of retail stores and repayment or pre-payment of loans.
The company primarily exports to Australia, China, Canada, European Union, South Africa, the UAE, the UK and the US and 12 countries in the European Union, including Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
The company has four manufacturing units, of which one is located in Panyu, China. The other three units are located in Mumbai, India out of which two units are situated in Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) and one in Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), in Mumbai.
Primary market experts were of the view that a lot depends on the success Tara Jewels' IPO as it would pave a way forward for other companies planning to tap the primary market. Further, experts also highlighted the importance of right pricing to attract retail investors, who have remained on the sidelines for the last six to eight quarters as a result of poor market conditions and below-par returns on their investments.
Prithvi Haldea, CMD, Prime Database, said IPOs are based on timing and the market may not see a revival unless large-sized IPO (R3,000-5,000 crore) tap the market. Bharti Infratel IPO is around the corner and is crucial for the market. If it does well, then we can see a revival in the primary market, Haldea said.
According to exchange data, primary market listings in the first nine months of CY12 have been at their lowest level since 2003, with seven companies successfully listing their IPOs. Two companies Plastene India and Samvardhana Motherson Finance withdrew their IPOs due to poor response.
Tough times
* Previous IPO in main market was VKS Project in June end
* 9 IPOs were launched in 2012, but two were withdrawn
* 2012 was the worst year for primary market, lowest number of IPOs since 2004

Intel loses appeal to overturn €1.06bn European antitrust fine
Five-year-old ruling upheld as firm to pay largest fine imposed by EU authorities
INTEL HAS LOST ITS APPEAL to overturn a €1.06bn antitrust fine in Europe, which was imposed on the firm back in 2009 for anticompetitive practices in the PC chip market.
The European General Court upheld the whopping fine - the largest ever imposed by the European authorities in Brussels on a single company - on Thursday, dismissing Intel's appeal to overturn the five-year-old ruling.
The court said it "considers that none of the arguments raised by Intel supports the conclusion that the fine imposed is disproportionate".
The European Commission imposed the €1.06bn fine in 2009, after it found the chipmaker had abused its dominance in the processor market by offering rebates to PC makers that used its chips instead of those made by its competitors.
According to the ruling, Intel offered rebates to firms including Dell, HP and Lenovo, along with German retail chain Media Saturn Holding, in order to squeeze rival AMD out of the market.
The judgment said, "[Intel's] conditional rebates and payments induced the loyalty of the key OEMs and of MSH. The effects of these practices were complementary, in that they significantly diminished competitors' ability to compete on the merits of their x86 CPUs. Intel's anti-competitive conduct thereby resulted in a reduction of consumer choice and in lower incentives to innovate.
"The Court finds that that evidence demonstrates to the requisite legal standard that the applicant attempted to conceal the anticompetitive nature of its conduct, at least as regards its relationships with Dell, HP, Lenovo and MSH," it concluded.
In a statement, Intel unsurprisingly said that it was disappointed with today's ruling. A spokesperson for the company said, "We are very disappointed about the decision. It's a complex case which is reflected in the decision. We will begin evaluating the decision."
Intel still can appeal the case to Europe's highest court, the European Court of Justice. µ

King of Catch Wrestling Tournament
One low registration fee! Only $40!
It all starting at the beginning of the summer of 2007 when our rule-system Eastern Qualifier steamrolled through Madison, Mississippi. Then our Canadian Qualifier barged through Quebec. Now the King of Catch Wrestling hails its long-awaited return to the Southern California grappling scene!
Saturday May 19th, 2012
Hemet, California
Hosted by:
Stable Jiu Jitsu
175 N. Cawston Ave. Suite 130A
Hemet, CA 92545
(West Hemet Behind Chase Bank)
Weigh-ins - 7:30am to 8:30am
9am - 5pm - Competition
To compete, simply choose your appropriate weight class, click 'Add to Cart', pay your registration fee, fill out your registration form completely, then just show-up on-time, take 'em down, and tear 'em up!
Every competitor gets at least 2 matches since it is best 2 of 3 falls!
ATTENTION EX-HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGIATE WRESTLERS: Have you wanted to enter a grappling tournament but felt your submission skills weren't up to par? Well all you have to do is avoid a submission and pin your opponent's shoulders for a three-count to win at the King of Catch Wrestling.
ATTENTION SUBMISSION GRAPPLERS: How many times have you competed against a sandbagger? At the King of Catch Wrestling, there is no 'beginner', intermediate', or 'advanced' division. The whole tournament is open to all levels. WORSE, how many times have you lost a match on an arbitrary 'point system'? At the King of Catch Wrestling we have no point system WHATSOEVER.
ATTENTION BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU STYLISTS: Many know that Mitsuyo Maeda taught Helio Gracie to fight. What most do not know is that Maeda perfected his system competing in Catch-As-Catch-Can tournaments (as "Count Koma") at the turn of the 20th Century. Maeda is rumoured to have fought over 2,000 matches in his career and he only lost two matches and one in the "catch-as-catch-can" world championships held in London (he entered in both the middleweight and heavyweight divisions and advanced to the semi-finals in two weight classes)
Karl Gotch with Masahiko Kimura
Maeda wasn't the only one, the famed Masahiko Kimura learned legitimate Catch-As-Catch-Can while working as a Professional Wrestler for Rikidozan in the early 1950s. Later Kimura would go on to beat Helio Gracie with the bread and butter hold of catch wrestling; the double wrist lock. Join the long tradition of game Jui-Jitsu players that compete in Catch-As-Catch-Can competitions!
ATTENTION PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS: Tired of people calling your passion phony? Come put yourself to the test and see what it is like to compete under classic Professional Wrestling rules FOR REAL.
ATTENTION MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FANS: Love the action of MMA but bored to tears watching competitive BJJ or submission grappling tournaments? The King of Catch Wrestling pinning provision pushes the action (no more stalling in the guard or "lay and pray") and with no point system, there are no politics or screwy decision wins.
Official Scientific Wrestling CACC Rule Set
- Submission or pin wins. All submissions are permitted and the pin count is 3 (both shoulders must be touching for a full 3 count). Slamming and strangles allowed.
- All matches are best 2 of 3 falls.
- Win, lose, or draw format, with no point system used to determine the final outcome.
In the event of a draw during tournament play, a replay is played. In the event of a second draw, both wrestlers will be eliminated.
-12 minute time limit per fall with 1 minute rest between falls.
-All matches occur in a ring or mat. Any body part on the ropes or out of bounds breaks the action and referee re-sets opponents standing in center (at referee's discretion).
-No striking, biting, eye gouging, hair pulling. Instant disqualification.
-Divisions include Super Heavy Weight (over 225), Heavyweight (over 200 lbs), Light Heavy (180 lbs) , Middle (160 lbs), and Light (140 lbs).
-All competitors must be 18 years of age or older.
The true spirit of our rules* are "Put Up or Shut Up" and harken back to American post-Civil War and late 19th Century Lancashire professional style Catch Wrestling bouts (during those days, each wrestler would bring a matching purse and the winner would take all. This provided unparalleled incentive for hard work from both players. This also prevents collusion between participants, i.e., "works", "fixes" & "dives").
Eventually special recognition for each weight class will be determined by statistical means weighted by the following criteria:
1. The competitor with the winningest record (in win, lose, draw format).
2. The most active competitor (number of matches).
3. The average length of time it takes to win each match (the shorter the better)
*Special thanks to Karl Gotch for guidance and direct input on our rules.

Allegra + Oona
Allegra is by far my favorite name. Although I can't seem to come up with a middle name I like.
Give me your suggestions.
A few other names I like so you can get a feel for my style
For some reason I'm liking Oona. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to use it.
Do you think it's usable?
August 15th, 2013 01:32 PM #3
Oona is usable, but I prefer the Una spelling. "Oo-" is the prefix for ovum, so Oona looks like it should be a medical term to me.
Allegra is lovely. Do you not like Allegra Caroline or Allegra Faye? Other ideas:
Allegra Odette
Allegra Violet
Allegra Scarlett
Allegra Alice
Allegra Florence
Allegra Frances
Allegra Guinevere
Allegra Leonie
Allegra Mathilde
Allegra Genevieve
Allegra Rosalind
Allegra Rosalie

I'm only 19 weeks pregnant and im already struggling with feeling like baby's on my lungs (probably my organs moving around). I'm only 5' 0". I'm pretty tiny and I've struggled with this with my other two children as well. But with them I would feel as though I couldn't breathe so bad that I would have panic attacks and my heart would race to about 150. :( I have found no solution to this but I do realize that not wearing a bra really helps. Well I work with this pregnancy and have to wear our employee t shirts so I can't go braless. Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I can do? or what kind of bra that I can wear? I need something that feels like it is not there. And Does anyone else go through this? any words of wisdom? I don't want to go through this feeling again
bra help!?

make sure you get one in the right size. go to a specialist and get fitted.
I prefer to spoon my balls. They go in faster that way.
Self expression by maidenform women's heaven sent push up bra.
I could wear this thing to bed. It's that comfortable :) There are no seams or anything. It's niiiice.
^ I LOVE my Target bras. Self Expressions by Maidenform. I made the mistake of spending $100 on granny bras with three prongs, padded shoulders and no underwire. My back has never hurt more in my entire life. And I outgrew them a week later. So. I will forever always be loyal unto Target bras.

Thank you! I tore this recipe out of the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine in 2006 to make for my daughter's birthday, which happened to fall on Thanksgiving that year. It was such a huge hit, I've been making it every year since. When I went to pull it out this year, I could find only the page with the picture, not the actual recipe. My daughter, age 111) suggested "researching it on the net" Since I had the magazine page with the date, I was able to go right to this recipe because of the description. My family will be thrilled that the recipe was not lost forever! BTW, my cake has looked like both these pictures. I find that it helps to let the chocolate sit and thicken. And don't spread it, let it move slowly towards the edges of the cake. Thanks again!
When I made this I ended up calling all the neighbors because I wanted to show it off. Also because I did not want to be alone in the house with any leftovers the next day. Chocolate and pumpkin happily combine in this delicious dessert. I garnished with blackberries, red seedless grapes and hazelnuts and almonds. It was just beautiful.

Tallahassee, Florida (AP) --
A Florida death row inmate who won a stay of execution earlier this year has died of apparent natural causes.
Corrections officials said David Johnston, convicted of killing
an elderly woman at her Orlando home in 1983, died early Thursday, Sept. 30 at Florida State Prison in Starke.
Johnston was 50. An autopsy has been scheduled.
The Florida Supreme Court issued a stay on March 4, five days
before his scheduled execution.
The stay was ordered so a hearing could be held on the validity
of a new IQ test that could have spared his life by showing he was
mentally retarded.
After the hearing a judge ruled he was not mentally disabled.
Johnston's appeal of that decision was pending in the Supreme Court
when he died.

W:>>This suggests a positive feedback between surface temperatures and cloud development, the opposite to what you require.>>
I would think that positive feedback might mean MORE clouds. What you and Pi need to show is NEGATIVE feedback. If what is meant by "development" is "how tall they get" I could accept that as being true TODAY. That is, the warmer the ocean, the more tall/developed the clouds will be. But that is NOT saying what Pi says, (and what you have sometimes seemed to say) that there would be FEWER clouds when/where the ocean is warmer. Are you ready to say clearly if you are in agreement with Pi about that? However, if we try to hypothesize about the post-flood time, rather than TODAY, I would go with what Oard said about how the much more uniformly warmer ocean (post-flood) would not allow for tall development of clouds. Your quotes from Journal of Climatology in no way address that unique post-flood situation. At least Oard does try to directly focus on that idea. And even IF you could show that the clouds were almost all of the cumulonimbus (tall, and "more developed") type, I believe you would agree with me that this would dramatically increase albedo...so all we have left to do is to discuss if the GE would be able to offset all the added albedo. It would not. You need about 21x the GE of today (if albedo went up from 30% today to 90%). Doubling the air temp only increases water vapor to 2.4x. Where does all the rest come from? I don't think you've offered any explanation of that yet.
I do appreciate that you quoted the paper's equivocal statements...including both those that seem to support you and controvert you. I will be reading through it and probably comment about it more soon.

Silex-Routing provides advanced routing for Silex through connecting symfony-cmf/Routing with Silex.

READMEServiceprovider for advanced and dynamic routing in Silex
Silex-Routing allows you to define custom and multiple routers for Silex. This is especially useful when working with dynamic routes, which are not known while writing the code (e.g. URLs stored in database).
This implementation works for both, matching and generating of URLs.
The advanced routing is achieved by connecting Silex with symfony-cmf/Routing.
The recommended way to install Silex-Routing is through
composer. Just create a
composer.json file and
run the
php composer.phar install command to install it:
"require": {
"project-a/silex-routing": "~1.0"
Alternatively, you can download the
silexrouting.zip file and extract it.
Using Silex-Routing is very simple. All you need to do is register the provided
RoutingServiceProvider and afterwards add all your custom routers (
$app = new Silex\Application(); $app->register(new SilexRouting\Provider\RoutingServiceProvider()); $router = new SilexRouting\SilexRouter($app); // e.g. The default Silex router $app['routers']->add($router); $app['routers']->add($router2); ...
If you want to use url generation simple register the
from this package and use generation as before.
$app->register(new SilexRouting\Provider\UrlGeneratorServiceProvider());
Do not use the Silex\Provider\UrlGeneratorServiceProvider together with Silex-Routing. Your custom routers will not be used!
To run the test suite, you need composer.
$ php composer.phar install --dev
$ phpunit
Silex-Routing is licensed under the MIT license.
