Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

I am wondering if anyone has tried NO-Xplode nitric oxide supplement, designed to enhance performance especially as regards weight training. One on-line listing for it is here:
My son, who is a college baseball player, uses it in his weight training, and he says it is working for him (adding muscle mass). However, I am not my son's age. I am 50+ years old, and my goals are different from his. I would like to gain some upper body strength leading to greater stamina on the bike. A bit more background: I cycle a lot, leaning more toward recreational than racing now because of age. I participate in duathlons about three times a year and one triathlon per year. My long-ride goal this summer is a one-week ride of the Rockies. I also run. Main challenges these days are reduced energy and strength because of age.
NO-Xplode is not a steroid. Interested if any others have tried it, especially those who compete in the Master's category.

Good Points
Excellent sound. easy setup and good instructions. bargain especially as you can disable macrovision so you can back up to video tape.
Bad Points
dark areas are not handled extremely well. The ping is quirky and unnecessary. And if you're that bothered by the screensaver and tesco helpline then switch off the telly!
General Comments
My Dansai 852 has been an excellent little DVD player so far - only just bought it. Cds are handled excellently -a little hiss but barely audible. Dvd picture is great -skin tones are a little pale but this is easily fixed by turning up the colour on your tv. All the functions you're really going to need are here, it hasn't got the outputs for dolby 5.1 but handles it and you really need a digital receiver to benefit from 5.1 anyway.
All in all an excellent player. I'm glad I didn't fork out twice as much on a dvd player and opted for a bargain entry level player.

Todd Stephens' "Another Gay Movie" will open the 12th Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Thursday night. The event, one of the largest gay fests on the east coast, continues through July 25 and will screen five world, one North American, three U.S. and six east coast debuts. The comedy is about four gay high school graduates who make a pact to lose their virginity before heading to college.
As previously announced, actors Sandra Bernhard and Darryl Stephens are among this year's honorees being feted by the festival this year. Bernhard, whose credits include Showtime's "The L Word," will receive the event's artistic achievement award, while Stephens will be recognized with a Rising Star nod. Stephens stars in "Another Gay Movie," and another PIGLFF title, "Boy Culture" by Q. Allan Brocka, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in May.
Sundance jury and audience award-winner "Quinceanera" by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer is in this year's lineup, making its Philadelphia premiere. The film is the story of a diverse group of people living in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park against the backdrop of gentrification. Fellow Sundance '06 features, "The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros" centers on a flamboyant teen that falls for a policeman who is investigating his criminal family living in Manila, while Malcolm Ingram's "small town gay bar" revolves around gay establishments in the southern U.S. and their importance in civil rights for queer people and examines one particular community with a particularly bleak reputation.
Berlinale '06 offering "Eleven Men Out" by Robert Douglas in among the international line up in PIGLFF this year. The Icelandic feature is the story of a football (soccer) team whose star player causes waves when he comes out of the closet. Canada's "C.R.A.Z.Y." by Jean-Marc Vallee depicts an ordinary family and its travails over a period of years. The family won the best Canadian feature prize at last year's Toronto International Film Festival as well as the audience prize at AFI Fest in Los Angeles in November.
PIGLFF is a program of the Philadelphia Film Society, which produces the annual Philadelphia Film Festival, which took place March 30 - April 11.

"Mountain grandeur" Grand Teton National Park by toonsarah
Grand Teton National Park Travel Guide: 321 reviews and 964 photos
Less busy than its more famous neighbour to the north, Yellowstone, and more compact, it really shouldn't be missed.
There's so much to do, and enough different ways to explore to suit anyone. If you like hiking there are lots of routes to choose from; if you prefer a more leisurely stroll there are plenty of options too; and if you prefer to sit back and let someone else do the work, there are boat trips on both the main lakes (Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake) and on the Snake River.
I just wish we'd planned a longer visit!
There are also some really good places to stay here. We stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge which proved an excellent choice as the location in which to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary – especially the meal in the Mural Room, with a wonderful view of the sunset over Jackson Lake.
- Pros:Wonderful mountain scenery
- Cons:Although quieter than Yellowstone, still a bit crowded in places

a fantastic page sarah! it seems wyoming has alot of natural wonders to offer the visitor. would be a joy to hike around here i reckon!
Wow, what a magic landscape and scenery!! I must go there one day and hike around! Sarah, I can't believe that you already had your silver anniversary! I love the butter moose :-)
What amazing scenery! I've never heard of this NP before, so thanks for the introduction :)
I already knew Grand Teton NP was great, but didn't realize just how spectacular until now! Looks like one more reason why Wyoming is now on my 'must see' list. Thanks for the excellent tips Sarah!
Love your photos of Mount Moran, just beautiful. It sound like you had a nice visit and a great anniversary.
Stunning shots, Sarah. I was there a long time ago and must say it needs more time than Yellowstone, climber or not. There are some incredible walks as well. Thanks for the reminder to get my wife out there this summer!
Sarah, some lovely photos that you've taken. I'm looking forward to taking photos at Oxbow Bend next month, while I'm up there. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous photos Sarah! I love your intro photo; it has so much atmosphere to it. The Grand Tetons are breathtaking! I wish I had more time in my upcoming trip to the USA to include the Tetons as well. Maybe I should re-think my itinerary...
More gorgeous photos Sarah!! What a beautiful place.
I understand that you too, were taken by the splendor of the Tetons! Though we stayed very shortly, we enjoyed a lot this place! You have gorgeous photos! Great to have your silver wedding there! Congratulations!

Hope Sisters Group
Update on Hope Sisters GroupGreetings are coming to you from members of the "Hope Sisters" group from Makeni, northern Sierra Leone. Members of the "Hope Sisters" group are very grateful to Kiva lenders for the loan they have just repaid. With the help of that loan, they were able to expand their respective businesses, made more sales and consequently improved their living conditions. Having repaid the loan successfully, they are again requesting a new loan in order to further improve their businesses. Featured leader Fatu, will again use her share of the loan to buy a large quantity of margi (used to give sauce a sweet taste), salt, onions, etc., to add to her current ones.
Previous Loan DetailsMeet the members of the "Hope Sisters" group from Makeni, a city in Northern Sierra Leone. They are all local entrepreneurs who have come to SMT, a partner of Kiva.org to apply for a loan of 800,000 SLL each. With the help of this loan, they will be able to expand their businesses, make more sale... More from Hope Sisters Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

It can be said that any journey is a pilgrimage of sorts. When the purpose of the journey is to attend the funeral and offer respects to one's guru, the journey becomes a pilgrimage of intensely personal and cosmic proportions. Major transitions in a person's life bring reflection and insight in unanticipated ways. This book is a photographic record of the author's profound experience of his pilgrimage to India to attend the funeral rites of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, known in the west for his teachings of the Transcendental Meditation and his revival of Vedic Science.

She also cracked the top 10 for the first time on the World Cup circuit in Rostov, Russia. Having made her UIPM World Championship debut in 2007, Vakalis posted a career-high finish of 28th in 2014.

The final selection will be made by a committee selected for their expertise in Chinese culture and exploration. Each application will be evaluated on its originality and relevance to the WildChina vision. In particular, we will be looking for:
- Expeditions seeking to rediscover a long lost route, highlight a culturally significant issue, promote aid in a remote community, or otherwise deal with discovery or rediscovery
- A genuine excitement and passion for exploration
- A demonstrated interest in China or Asia
- A risk management plan
- A commitment to sustainable travel and the incorporation of Leave No Trace (LNT) principles
- An explanation of how participation in the proposed expedition will facilitate future contributions to the growth of WildChina's expeditions
For more information, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our 2014 Explorer: Ricky Qi
The son of Chinese immigrants, Ricky was raised in southern California and has devoted his life to film, exploring the medium's ability to transform an audience's perception of time, place, and culture. For the past two years, Ricky has been producing and directing a feature-length documentary about the Mosuo people, China's last matriarchal society. Hovering between the borders of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, his pioneering project took him on a month-long trek via horse caravan to some of the most remote and least documented places in the lower Himalayas. WildChina is thrilled to be a part of his journey into northern Yunnan and to follow his story from remote villages into the deeper wilderness.
Our 2013 Explorer: Heli
Heli's expedition into the remote wilderness of Xinjiang in search of the Tianshan Snow Lotus pushed the boundaries of Chinese exploration in its examination of the beauty and fragility of the region's natural environment. The Tianshan Snow Lotus is held in reverence by the Kazakh and Uighur people and takes five years to bloom, growing at altitudes as high as 5000m (16,400ft). The flower has been subject to overexploitation due to its purported health benefits in traditional Chinese, Uighur, and Tibetan medicine, fragile beauty and the remoteness of its environment making it a rare and prized treasure. Heli and his team successfully found the lotus in bloom on the rocky slopes of China's northwest.
Our 2012 Explorer: Shanghua Zhang
In 2012, the WildChina Explorer Grant was awarded to two entries. The first of these to head into the unknown was Shanghua Zhang. Backpacking through remote Ganzi Prefecture in Sichuan, Shanghua Zhang was often welcomed into local homes with open arms. He also gained access to communities of Tibetan monks and attended prayers at the Yaqing Monastery. During his time in the backcountry, Zhang visited the Chaqingsongduo Nature Reserve in the hope of spotting China's elusive white-lipped deer. Although the animal eluded him, he hopes to return to the region one day.
Our 2012 Explorer: William Bleisch
The second finalist of 2012 was William Bleisch, who ventured to Yunnan's Ailaoshan Provincial Nature Reserve with the aim of establishing a new trekking route along the ridgeline of the Ailao Mountains to connect with other established routes north of Dali. The program director for the China Exploration and Research Society, William had previously researched China's black-crested gibbons, and hopes that the creation of a trail connecting existing gibbon habitats can result in a continuous stretch of forest to help preserve the species in future.

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 231434 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1034 AM EDT MON MAY 23 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1027 AM EDT Mon May 23 2016 Sunny and warm. About sums it up for today as high pressure at the surface and aloft remain centered overhead. Per 12z sounding and a more modified airmass, see little reason some interior locations of northern lower Michigan will not reach 80 degrees. Light pressure gradient will allow good to well organized lake breeze development this afternoon, keeping those nearshore communities a touch cooler. As for fire weather: Definitely looks like the 2 out of 3 rule applies...with warm temperatures and an expected quick mixing out of any lingering low level moisture. Per recent trends and that 12z sounding...fully expect parts of northeast lower to experience afternoon rh values approaching the upper teens/lower 20s. Some good news...with overhead high pressure keeping winds light through the growing boundary layer, with analysis of soundings showing sub 12kt winds through the mixed layer this afternoon. May see a few gusts along inward pushing lake breezes, but these should be temporary. See no need to change inherited Fire Weather Watch per these trends. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 307 AM EDT Mon May 23 2016 High pressure remains centered over the Great Lakes region early this morning. Strong subsidence combined with dry air thru the entire column continues to result in clear skies for all of Michigan and even Wisconsin per latest IR satellite loop and regional obs. Temps continue to fall thru the 40s and into the 30s for many locations across our CWA. However...still expect most locations will remain above freezing prior to sunrise...with only patchy frost expected. Nrn Michigan will see one more 24 period of dry weather before precip chances finally increase on Tuesday along and ahead of an approaching cold front. Deep dry air and strong subsidence will remain the rule today and tonight...resulting in a continuation of clear skies and low level winds sufficiently weak to allow for lake breeze development again today. Low level winds shifting to the south as the high center slides just east of Michigan will draw warmer air into our state today...with afternoon highs warming into the mid 70s to around 80 degrees...cooler near the lakeshores as usual. Low temps tonight will only fall into the low to mid 50s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 307 AM EDT Mon May 23 2016 ...Warm and showery over the next several days... The ridge of high pressure breaks down/drifts off to our east Tuesday allowing for a large scale pattern change to take shape across the western Great Lakes. The new pattern will feature higher humidity levels and an extended period with decent chances for rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This will be the result of several pieces of energy ejecting out of a long wave trough which will be centered across the western states. Although the details remain rather uncertain, there still could be some strong to severe storms Thursday into Friday depending upon how much heating we can generate as it appears that there will be a surface warm front lurking somewhere in the vicinity plus we get into stronger wind fields aloft. Any rainfall will be welcomed with open arms as it has gotten awfully dry out there. Overall, temperatures through the period are expected to be a few degrees above normal for late May. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 645 AM EDT Mon May 23 2016 Nrn Michigan will see one more 24 hour period of solid VFR conditions as high pressure and dry air remain firmly in control. Lake breezes will again develop by around midday...but will be not quite as prominent today as low level winds begin to strengthen a bit ahead of the approaching cold front well upstream. && .MARINE... Issued at 307 AM EDT Mon May 23 2016 Winds and waves will remain below SCA criteria thru tonight as high pressure remains in control of the weather across the Great Lakes region. Dry weather will persist thru tonight as well. Winds...waves and precip chances will all increase on Tuesday as a cold front approaches during the day and sweeps thru the region at night. && .APX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...FIRE WEATHER WATCH until 9 PM EDT this evening for MIZ016-019- 021-027-033. FIRE WEATHER WATCH through Tuesday afternoon for MIZ017-018- 022>024-028>030-034>036. LH...NONE. LM...NONE.

The 2011 Justin Timberlake film "In Time" has become the subject of a lawsuit, filed by a man who claims that the idea for the film was stolen from him.
In his suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court against Twentieth Century Fox Fim Corporation, New Regency Productions and Regency Enterprises on Monday, Odysseus Lappas claims that, in 1996, he wrote a synopsis, subsequently registered with the Writer's Guild of America, for "an action-adventure love story about a man and a womn who live in a future world wherin the human life span had changed and people would die after reaching their 25th birthday."
Also read: James Cameron Prevails in 'Avatar' Plagiarism Suit
Lappas claims that he met with a reader for 20th Century Fox, eventually giving him the synopsis, and was offered $80,000 for the rights of this synopsis. Lappas claims that he refused, saying he wanted to write and/or produce the synopsis, but that the parties entered an "implied-in-fact contract" saying he would be compensated if his synopsis was used.
Lappas' complaint claims that "In Time" was "uncannily similar to the Time Card Synopsis which Plaintiff had submitted to Defendants, including 20th Century Fox. In fact, the similarities are striking."
Also read: Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck Can't Get 'Runner Runner' Out of Box-Office Blocks
"Plaintiff is informed, and believes, and on that basis alleges that 'In Time' includes nearly every creative element of the Time Card Synopsis as well as many of Plaintiff's ideas discussed during the Conference," Lappas' suit reads.
Alleging breach of implied-in-fact contract, slander of title and other allegations, Lappas' suit claims that he's been damaged in an amount "in excess of" $4.5 million.
A spokesman for 20th Century Fox has not yet responded to TheWrap's request for comment.

Shadan Group
Shadan has eight years of experience with her home-based sewing business activity. To improve the quality of services to her customers as well as improve her work conditions, she would like to buy a new sewing machine, iron and fabric. Shadan has a very good reputation in her region with her special talent and the customer service she provides. She is aiming to develop her business and increase her profits so that she may continue assisting her husband with the additional income and provide a better life for her children.
The story of Shadan and her business is just one of the many examples of Izdiharona for Economic Development's clients who have been able to improve their business with a small business loan product, specifically designed to meet the needs of small businesses where a relatively small amount of capital can provide significant business improvement.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for home-based businesses and income generation projects run by women in Iraq. Following years of conflict in the country, female-headed households constitute a highly vulnerable segment of the Iraqi population. Iraqi women continue to face widespread instances of gender based violence, including domestic violence, honor killings, and trafficking. Government programs intended to support women often suffer from corruption, outdated systems, and administrative obstacles. By supporting this loan, you are enabling a woman in Iraq to establish or grow her business.
About Izdiharona for Economic DevelopmentIzdiharona for Economic Development (Izdiharona) is a nonprofit organization in Iraq that provides financial assistance to small and medium enterprises in need of capital so they can develop their businesses and train their staff. Founded in 2008, it currently operates ten branch offices throughout Iraq in the provinces of Baghdad, Babil, Basra, Karbala, Messan, Sulaymaniyah and more. Kiva lenders' funds are used to provide education, startup, green, and youth loans, as well as interest free loans to the ultra poor and loans that support income generating projects for women.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Engineering for Everyone
Halford, Bethany, ASEE Prism
ASK ANY COLLEGE GRADUATE to name three famous scientists and the chances are good that they'll rattle off Einstein, Curie, and Newton without much thought. But ask those same students to name three famous engineers and more likely than not you'll be answered with blank stares and head scratching.
Engineering's accomplishments are no less wondrous than relativity, radiation, or calculus, and most students would find that engineering advances have a far greater impact on their daily lives than the finer points of quantum mechanics. So then, it seems like a peculiar development in higher education that all students are required to take some rudimentary science courses in order to graduate, but they can leave the groves of academia completely ignorant of engineering.
In our technological age, this knowledge gap is a genuine liability. People today need to know how to grasp technical information and to logically analyze data. The goal is to give nonengineers the knowledge of how the nation got built, how engineering and public policy interact in our society, and some expertise in judging engineering works.
"There is a need for this nation to attract and retain bright students to the engineering profession and to teach those who have pursued other fields of study the central role of engineering in all facets of life," says David Billington, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University. For more than three decades, Billington has been a trailblazer in engineering education, carving ont a path between engineering and the humanities. His goal: "To make engineering accessible to all students, to give students an understanding of engineering, and to inspire professionals and the general public to continual learning."
Billington's courses, Structures and the Urban Environment and Engineering in the Modern World, have proven to be popular among all of Princeton's undergraduates. In fact, between 25 and 30 percent of all Princeton nndergrads take one of the courses. By weaving together technical, historical, political, and artistic threads, Billington shows engineering's influences and transformative power from the Industrial Revolution to the present.
The theme of the Structures course is that, at their best, structures are works of art-a new art form parallel to but independent of architecture. This was illustrated by the The Art of Structural Design: A Swiss Legacy exhibition at Princeton's art museum iu 2003, which is currently on exhibit at MIT. The theme of the other course is that engineering has transformed American society from rural agrarian to urban industrial. Billington's colleague, Michael Littman, has developed laboratories for these courses and co-teaches the second one with him.
Spreading the World
BILLINGTON'S GOAL over the past decade has been to disseminate the materials developed for these courses to other schools around the country. Classes have sprung up at places like Smith College, Columbia University, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Penn State, and Grinnell College. Billington has essentially grown his own crop of engineering educators who've scattered to other schools where they bring his vision to the curriculum.
Now, Billington hopes that by making the courses he's developed at Princeton available to universities all over the world, he'll be able to expand his educational vision. "I know that the material is of a permanent quality," he says. "It can be clone by any reasonably interested engineering or physics professor."
Last August, Billington and several colleagues held a workshop at Princeton for faculty from 20 other schools, a result of which more institutions are beginning to teach with materials he and his colleagues developed at Princeton. He has already set up visual information to use in lectures as well as lab experiments. "These lectures are all visual. We bombard these people with images and get them into the aesthetic sense of engineering and its overall importance in transforming society," Billington explains. …

background info:
i had hosting for a website I started for a friend. She has a non profit she jsut started and I donated the domain name and the hosting. Hosting was with godaddy. I started using bluehost with one of my websites because you can have multiple domains for the same price so it was a lot cheaper than godaddy.
I was moving this site over to bluehost, following the instructions for "if you don't care if your old blog works" and it got all fubared and didn't work on bluehost. I figured wth because i was going to change her theme anyway and there wasn't that much stuff on there so I just started from scratch with the thesis theme. However, she did have some blog entries (about 3 or 4) and I would like to copy them over because I have no content for the new hosting.
How do I get the few blog entries over to the new hosting at bluehost? I can't login in to the WP admin panel because now everything has been changed to bluehost (nameservers etc) and when I login to wpadmin it goes to bluehost (as it should). Can anyone give me any direction? I can FTP into godaddy (my account is still current for a couple of weeks) but I don't know where to go to get this stuff.
thanks in advance!

Making Money a Must-See
The Museum of American Finance needs more money.
Since expanding into a former bank on New York's Wall Street three years ago, this 23-year-old affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution—and the only public museum dedicated to the country's fiscal history—has been trying to draw in bigger crowds and donors to see its Revolutionary War bonds, 1929 ticker tapes and counterfeit currency.
But convincing the masses to visit a space devoted to the history of bankers isn't easy—particularly now that the recession and all those bank bailouts have spawned a wave of public resentment toward the profession. Last year, roughly 35,000 people visited the museum, almost double 2008 levels but a fraction of the 300,000 at the nearby World Trade Center tribute site.
So in a fresh bid for relevance, the museum has started revamping more of its glass-case displays to acknowledge Wall Street's checkered reputation. A current section exploring financial scandals contains a baseball bat that once belonged to fraudster Bernard Madoff. The museum's walking tours now make a pit stop outside the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and its gift shop sells a $27 poster set charting the recession from its onset through October 2010. "We're not shying away from the tougher times," said David Cowen, the museum's president and a former hedge-fund manager.
The museum is also putting a populist spin on its patron saint, Alexander Hamilton. When the museum opened on the heels of the 1987 financial crash, its first major exhibit highlighted his role as secretary of the Treasury. Its latest exhibit, "Alexander Hamilton: Lineage and Legacy," focuses more on Hamilton's personal life, with texts that discuss his "low social status" as the child of a single mother growing up in the Caribbean. There's a copy of a 1784 legal opinion in which Hamilton describes his politician's paycheck as "so inconsiderate as too [sic] amount to a sacrifice."
Becky Laughner, associate director of exhibits and archives, said the show doesn't aim to recast history but does tease out details that "make him easier to relate to."
The museum also recently created an auxiliary advisory board and invited some of the same bankers who anchored the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, such as Paul Volcker and Bill Donaldson. Right now, the museum relies heavily on private donations because its $8 admission tickets don't cover its $3.3 million annual budget. Its endowment hovers below $500,000.
Mr. Donaldson, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said he has begun mulling ways to spark the public's interest in financial history. One of his ideas: an exhibit exploring the role of foreign investment in the U.S. economy.
Whether the makeover attempts work remains to be seen. Earlier this week, Mark Swenson, a senior visiting the museum with the economics club at the State University of New York at New Paltz, pored over historic stock certificates but said he wouldn't bring his nonbanking friends. "Maybe more people will come when the economy's good," the accounting and finance major said. "Right now, bankers don't have a lot of fans."

Bob Stoops is happy the bowl system will live to fight another day
Anthony Stafford will be watching a movie. "Goldfinger" or "The Bodyguard" or "Scarface," and will see the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach.
"Brings back memories," said Stafford, an OU halfback from 1985-88. "Man, we were there. That kind of stuff sticks with you."
Bob Stoops will smile when he reads that.
College football's peculiar institution is not dead. The bowl system will live to fight another day. And Stoops is pleased.
Bowls remain a part of the latest playoff plan, a four-team affair that will double the contestants if the sport's presidential oversight committee signs off Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
And that's a good thing for several reasons. Not the least of which is the reward for the players.
Bowls provide neutral sites and tradition and generally strong organizing bodies, all of which this sport needs.
But the vacation reward for players is the most redeeming element of bowl games.
Stoops actually got fired up the other day just talking about it.
"What a lot of people don't get, these bowl games matter to young people," Stoops said.
"We recruit, all of us do, some kids from … disadvantage backgrounds that have never been out of their little community and here on campus.
"We get to take them to Miami for five, six days. Go to five-star restaurants, stay in five-star hotels. Or Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl."
The hospitality for players at most bowl games is excellent. The better the team, the better the bowl, the better the locale.
Five days in Shreveport or Birmingham is OK. Five days in Los Angeles or Tampa is fantastic.
Stoops said the vacation aspect of bowls won't change even if it's a national semifinal. He will treat the trip same as always. And should the Sooners win, the national title game becomes the total-business trip.
"You have your bowl experience," Stoops said, "then have a game eight days, six days, seven days, nine days later, whatever it is, we're all working on the same rules.
"Then you don't have to have the bowl experience. You've already had it."
The proposed plan is for the title game to be put up for bid, ala the Super Bowl. Cities like Arlington and Atlanta have been mentioned. The semifinal bowls would be New Year's Eve and/or New Year's Day. Then a week later comes the title game.
"Show up two days before the game so you can do your interviews, get it out of the way, play a national championship game," Stoops said. "I think it would be great."
And it would preserve college football's vacation tradition for its players.
Stoops said some players' eyes are opened by staying at resorts on the beach or in the desert.
"You mean this is out there? I didn't know this existed," they will say.
Stafford, recruited to OU from St. Louis, said that certainly was his experience with three Orange Bowl trips and a Citrus Bowl trip.
"That was a huge factor for us," said Stafford. "Once you have that experience of participating in a bowl game like that, guys got the sense not only of playing in a big ballgame, it was also a reward for a lot of hard work."
Stoops said that being able to take his players to different parts of the country is "special. The bowls have to remain or we will cut through the heart of college football. So they have to be included."
Barring catastrophe in D.C., they will be. The working plan is for two of the four major bowls – Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta – to serve as rotating semifinals every season.
"The bowls are, rightfully so, very concerned where this all goes," said OU athletic director Joe Castiglione, who was part of the process to develop an expanded playoff. "They want to be part of it no matter which model is chosen.
"I do believe that in the end, people want to see the bowl system continue and be healthy."
We can curse the bowls, and we can ridicule the bowls, and we can expose the bowls for fraud and mischief. But the bowls absolutely have been a reward for players. For that reason alone, they should survive.

Pleiotropic Effects of the Duplicate Maize FLORICAULA/LEAFY Genes Zfl1 and Zfl2 on Traits under Selection during Maize Domestication
Bomblies, Kirsten, Doebley, John F., Genetics
Phenotypic variation on which selection can act during evolution may be caused by variation in activity level of developmental regulatory genes. In many cases, however, such genes affect multiple traits. This situation can lead to co-evolution of traits, or evolutionary constraint if some pleiotropic effects are detrimental. Here, we present an analysis of quantitative traits associated with gene copy number of two important maize regulatory genes, the duplicate FLORICAULA/LEAFY orthologs zfl1 and zfl2. We found statistically significant associations between several quantitative traits and copy number of both zfl genes in several maize genetic backgrounds. Despite overlap in traits associated with these duplicate genes, zfl1 showed stronger associations with flowering time, while zfl2 associated more strongly with branching and inflorescence structure traits, suggesting some divergence of function. Since zfl2 associates with quantitative variation for ear rank and also maps near a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 2 controlling ear rank differences between maize and teosinte, we tested whether zfl2 might have been involved in the evolution of this trait using a QTL complementation test. The results suggest that zfl2 activity is important for the QTL effect, supporting zfl2 as a candidate gene for a role in morphological evolution of maize.
THE identification of genes involved in morphological evolution in both plants and animals has benefited greatly from quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies. Genes underlying QTL causing trait differences in various plant and animal species have been identified, providing an opportunity to study the mechanisms of morphological change under selection. Two important questions for better understanding the mechanisms of the evolution of development are (1) What role do developmental regulatory genes play in the control of quantitative traits?, and (2) Do these genes underlie QTL?
Several genes responsible for QTL play important roles in normal development (MACKAY 2001). Interestingly, some of the genes identified as QTL have complex or pleiotropic effects on development. For example, the teosinte branchedl (tbl) gene, underlying a QTL involved in maize domestication, affects inflorescence sex, ear size, branch length and tiller number (DOEBLEY et al. 1997), while in tomato, the fw2.2 locus, which controls changes in fruit shape and size during domestication (GONG et al 2002; LIU et al 2003), also plays a quantitative role in fruit number and photosynthate distribution (NESBITT and TANKSLEY 2001). Identifying pleiotropic quantitative effects of regulatory genes putatively involved in evolution will help us understand the possibilities and limitations for morphological evolution in populations by shedding light on how trait correlations may arise.
In this study, we examine phenotypic variation of several traits associated with maize domestication for association with varying wild-type copy number of the paralogous maize regulatory genes zfll and zfl2 (BOMBLIES et al. 2003). These genes are orthologous to the FLOUICAULA(FLO)/ LEAFY(LFY) genes of Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis (COEN et al. 1990; WEIGEL et al. 1992). As with FLO and LFY, zfll and zfl2 control essential aspects of reproductive development, such as flower identity and patterning, that are required for fertility (BOMBLIES et al. 2003). On the basis of a preliminary finding that mutations at the zfl2 locus are associated with quantitative effects on inflorescence phyllotaxy, we proposed zfl2 as a candidate locus for a major-effect QTL for inflorescence phyllotaxy differences between maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and its wild ancestor, teosinte (Z. mays ssp. parviglumis; BOMBLIES et al. 2003), that maps to the same region of maize chromosome 2 (DOEBLEY and STEC 1991; DOEBLEY and STEC 1993).
This study addresses the following questions:
1. What are the pleiotropic quantitative effects associated with zfll and zfl2 gene dosage in different maize genetic backgrounds? …

Creed Reese
Towards Mt.Coronet
Creed looked in Lucy's direction, then he looked in Ryan's, and then back in Lucy's again. "...Yes ma'am." He responded to Lucy's orders. "It seems I have a tendency to piss people off and attract danger...it's a little disappointing." He chuckled and said, "then again, I guess it's these little Magnemites right here," he pointed to Amethyst and Lucy, "Who are really attracting all of the bad-boys." He returned his hand to his pocket and said, "but I'll do whatever the boss-lady says; after all, I'm doomed to be the weakest person here not long from now..." He looked up and said, "Evolution's a b!tch I just can't tame."
Creed then listened for the quiet Amethyst. Her breathing, from what he could tell, was steady and slightly choked, she hadn't said anything for a while. In fact, he'd only heard her speak but twice, and only one of those times was it directed towards him. He didn't try talking to her, however, for the simple reason that she was so dependent on Lucy (or rather, so attached to her) that he felt it wasn't his right to intrude. That, and the thought of Lucy holding a melancholy Amethyst made his heart flutter; after all, these girls were his only real weakness.
He turned to Ryan and said, "I won't take back what I said, though. I don't think it's right for those of us with such abilities to use human weapons. In a sense, we've transcended them, we've become something they are unable to harm on their own, they need something to even have a sliver of a chance against us. It's almost like mocking the human race if we use them against the humans, it's overkill." He paused for a few moments and looked back at Lucy, and turned to Ryan again. "But I don't want to impede this journey and longer, so do what you want." With that, he jogged up towards Lucy and then, once behind her, matched her walking speed.
