Divino Nino Group
Update on Divino Nino GroupDivino Niño Communal Bank is made up of 11 members, 9 women and 2 men, mothers and fathers of 20 dependent children among them. They're from El Sauce, located in the northern part of the country. These people describe themselves as hardworking and responsible with a desire for personal self-improvement despite the difficulties they've had in life. Unfortunately they weren't able to continue their studies because they needed to work from a young age to help with the household expenses.
Thanks to her effort and desire to get ahead, Alba Justina is the coordinator of the bank. Her job is a "pulpería" located in her house. A pulpería is a small store that sells food items in small quantities such as packets of coffee, shampoo, or sauce, rice, eggs, packaged soup, beans, oil, bread, juice, and soda. Alba's work routine is to sell her products some 10 hours a day.
The goal of the loan is to invest in working capital and stock her business buying and selling food products for her grocery store so she can earn better income in the near future.
Divino Niño Communal Bank is grateful for the help that Kiva lenders give to low-income people and poor countries like Nicaragua so they have a means for a decent job.

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.

This invention relates to the type of jewels that can be worn by television actors with impunity in the type of light phenomenon that naturally exists when regular jewels are used and which consists of complete "blooming" with light or with blackness of the television set raster by the intense reflection of light by such jewels. The phenomenon is due to the intense concentration of light on the television camera tube caused by the concentration of light from the jewel. The invention describes the makeup of the jewels that solve this problem but in no way deter from the attractiveness of the jewel.
A representative embodiment of this invention is here presented, but it will, of course, be appreciated that the invention is susceptible of incorporation in still other forms of wearing accouterments such as buttons, etc., and of course to household hanging objects such as lamp tear drops, adornments on doors also made of glass or reflecting materials where the same obnoxious phenomenon can occur.
This invention has been disclosed to the U.S. Patent Office under the Document Disclosure Program with document No. 026986 with date Jan. 4, 1974, as recorded in that office.
FIG. 1 is a Front View of the jewel makeup proposed and
FIG. 2 is a Side View of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a Cross-Sectional but typical view of the jewel proposed.
The figures will depict the use of the main idea of the invention. The main idea is that instead of making the jewels so that they reflect the most light (as is commonly done in nearly all the jewels used for adornment) the use of the physical law of light reflection embodied in the name Brewster's angle is used. Such term refers to the angle of light reflection which does not allow light to come out of the material where the light impinges. This is based on the principle of Brewster's law of reflection which correlates polarization with the refractive index. This is mentioned here before the FIGS. 1, 2, 3, are explained because it is impossible to show the refractive index in the figure and Brewster's law shows the the angle of maximum polarization depends on such refractive index. The jewels here depicted are made of glass because for such the polarizing angle does not change much over the whole visible spectrum. Another way to express Brewster's law is to say that the light is "plane polarized". For glass the angle of incidence making operation of Brewster's law in accordance with this invention possible is 57░. The jewels are designed so that light hits the jewel's facets at this angle (from the perpendicular to such jewel's facets.) This will be shown referring to the figures alluding to the fact that under appropriate lighting conditions, no reflection from such facets can take place, the main nature of the invention here claimed. The jewels need not be made of glass only, the refractive index can be changed to fit any jewel design where the refractive index obtains the operation of such Brewster's law for the purpose of the invention effectiveness, e.g. that the reflected and refracted light from the jewel facets be at 90░ from each other. The construction of the jewels here described for describing the invention have another advantage over ordinary jewels and that is that the refracted ray of light in the jewel itself is absorbed by a carbon black medium instead of being reflected by a mirrored surface as in ordinary jewels.
FIG. 1 is the Side Elevation of the jewel, but with the facing part of the sidewall omitted to expose the cusps, representative of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the jewel, but with the facing part of the sidewall omitted to expose the cusps, and
FIG. 3 is a Cross-sectional View of FIG. 2, such cross section showing the constructional features of the jewel. Numbers on the jewel drawings refer both to parts of the jewel and also direction of light rays impinging on the jewel, being reflected by the jewel (such reflection being kept at a minimum since this is the substance of the invention) and also the refracted ray of light in the jewel. The jewel in FIGS. 1-3 includes a flat bottom portion with cusps projecting perpendicularly from the bottom portion. Explicitly the number 4 shows a light ray approaching the jewel frontally and impinging the surface of a cusp at Brewster's angle (following Brewster's law) from the perpendicular (No.5) to the jewel cusp surface. No. 7 is the refracted ray inside the jewel, and No. 6 being the reflected ray, which in this case is greatly diminished and can even be zero, such being the object of the invention. Brewster's law calls for an angle of 90░ between the refracted ray 7 and the reflected ray 6 in order that Brewster's law action take place, viz. greatly diminished reflection or no reflection. No. 8 is one cusp of the jewel, No. 9 another cusp of the jewel, No. 10 is the middle cusp of the jewel, No. 11 is another cusp of the jewel. No. 11, No. 12 and No. 13 are better referred to in FIG. 3, where No. 11 is the cusp, No. 12 is a feature of the jewel consisting of a layer of carbon black, covering the bottom of the jewel (also shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) such carbon black being the agent that absorbs the refracted rays 7 in the jewel. The construction of the jewel is shown in simple terms with only a ray of light No. 4 impinging on the jewel face. The side of the jewel shown as No. 13 and which is a round side of opaque material completely around the jewel has the purpose of shielding light rays from the jewel and minimizing light rays at other than the Brewster's angle from the perpendicular to the jewel face or facets. This completely describes the make-up of the jewel with its cusps of glass.

Pictures from SABR44 Convention in Houston
I am way behind in doing this post on the SABR44 convention in Houston. I did posted pictures from the event on Tweeter, IG and Facebook but I did not do a blog post.
I had a marvelous time in Houston. Weather was not too bad either. The hotel was away from Downtown but it all worked out. I am sorry that I missed going to see the minor league team "the Sugarland Skeeters"
This year I debated whether to go to the convention because I've known for a few months now that I will be out of job soon, but I am glad I did go. Once you go to one of the SABR conventions, it is hard to stay away. It is always a big pleasure seeing fellow SABR members and meeting new ones. Also of course I enjoy the lineup of speakers, going to see an MLB and a minor league game if possible. Also I try to attend as many baseball sessions as possible realizing that it is impossible to attend all.
The local chapters always do a great job of hosting and organizing the convention. In Houston it was hosted by the Larry DierkerChapter and greatly assisted by the Horsny Chapter.
This was my fourth convention in a row. I enjoyed every one of them. My first one was the Long Beach convention where I volunteered with our local Chapter, the Allan Roth Chapter. Hopefully I can make it next year to Chicago for SABR45.
Here are some pictures from the SABR convention:
SABR44 Houston

SABR ladies
Marie "Red" Mahoney. The only women from Houston to play in the AAGPBL.
It was great chatting with Larry Dierker prior to the panel discussion.
Lesley Heaphy selected as Bob Davis award winner!
A SABR member was so nice giving me this baseball card so that Enos could sign it for me.
A kid took this picture of Jose Cruz and myself. It is a little blury.
Dodgers Jim Wynn and Bob Aspromonte signed my baseball.
Buck Martinez, broadcaster of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Max Kates dressed like Charlie Finley, had a presentation titled "The Bikers Beat the Boys Scouts": Facial Hair and the 1972 World Series. I think his dress attire helped him get Roger Clemens to sign his book.
Selfies with Roger Clemens in the background.
The Toy Cannon, Jim Wynn.
Brooklyn Dodger Bob Aspromonte. Also a Colt .45 .
We got this huge book free.
Vivian L Smith, statue on the outside of the Astrodome. The plaque reads "She loved the Astros"
Jose Cruz and Enos Cabell
Art Howe. I talked with both Jose Cruz and Art Howe on how debasted I was that Monday extra playoff game in 1980 between the Dodgers and Astros. I told him I cried that Monday. Art (or was it Jose) said "Better you than us."
I can't read this signature. Hmm. Roger Clemens?
Selfie at Minute Maid Park with Astro in the background.
Since SABR42 in Minnesota, we (Norm, Kent, Abby and I) have been taking a picture at a stadium with the team's mickey mouse. This year Abby could not make it so we invited Evelyn to post with us.
These are only a part of the pictures I took at SABR44. It is always so much fun attending the convention. I hope to make it to SABR45.
Sidenote: Today Wednesday, September 24, I can't wait to head to Dodger Stadium to see Clayton Kershaw go for win #21 against the Giants and clinch the National League West! Go Dodgers!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Endurance
This week's WordPress photo challenge is Endurance. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/endurance/
I started scanning the pictures in my iphone to see what I could use. I came across a picture and a little video I took of an oldtimer Dodger fan with a very old Dodger baseball cap. I heard him talking with an usher about his hat so I asked if I could take a picture.
His name is Paul. I caught him just before the elevator in the Top Deck of Dodger Stadium came. I knew I had a short window to do a quick little video.
Dave got the hat on August 31, 1959. This is the second year the Dodgers played at the Coliseum. He says in the Video that Sandy Koufax piched that day against the Giants. He had gone with his future father in law. At that time, the lady with him was his girlfriend. They were to marry the following week.
Dave could not remember who pitched for the Giants but I looked it up. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/LAN/LAN195908310.shtml
Jack Sanford pitched for the Giants. The Dodgers with Sandy Koufax on the mound won the game 5-2.
Dave did remember that Wally Moon hit one of his famous moonshots. Dave also remembers Willie McCovey hitting a homerun off Koufax.
Some endurance that LA Dodgers hat has withstood!The hat is 55 years old and he still wears to Dodger Stadium.
Dave's hat, marraige and his his love lasting 55 years years and still going.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity
This week's Photo Challenge is Humanity. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/humanity/
We are asked to share a photo.
Photos that comes to mind is when I went to Hiccups Payaso's monthly Pizza Project to feed the Homeless in Lols Angeles Skid Row area. The exact location is 6th and Gladys. Visit Hiccups Payaso facebook page for more information.
Here is a picture of a homeless woman
We don't aks but you wonder what is her story. Here she is with her slice of pizza and other goodies that are brought by voluntees like bottle of water, a cup cake and anything else that Hiccups is collecting for the month.
Here is another picture at another Pizza project. Here she is with Hiccups.
Yes, Hiccups is a Dodger fan. Many Dodger fans volunteer at the monthly pizza projects and we wear our Blue, Dodger Blue.

Matt Kemp 9/5/14 Homerun ball
Our friend Javier Gonzalez ended up with the homerun ball that Matt Kemp hit into the bullpen. D'Back catcher caught it and gave it to Javier who has his season tickets
In the field level section 52 row 8. That was Kemp's 18th homerun this season. The homerun came inthe 3rd inning off Nuno. Haren won his 12th game. Credit Jansen with his 40th save, a good thing after Kenley had blown away the save on Wednesday day game.
Congratulations Javier! Hope Matt signs the baseball.
Game Tankas 09/02/14 Dodgers 4, Nationals 1
I have done haikus in the past but did not know about Tankas. Haikus are a three-line poem of 5/7/5 syllables. Tankas have two additional lines of 7 syllables so they are 5/7/5/7/7. I was reading the WordPress Monday writing challenge for this week to write a tanka or a set of tankas https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_writing_challenge/full-tanka/
Here it is what I came up with during Clayton Kershaw masterpiece performance yesterday at Dodger Dodger Stadium.

Rene Cardenas interviews Dodger Catcher Mike Scioscia in Spanish
I love this old interview! Long time Spanish broadcaster Rene Cardenas interviews Mike Scioscia in Spanish. I love hearing Mike talk in Spanish. Mike Scioscia used to be one of my favorite players. I loved how he blocked the plate. I used to sit behind homeplate in the Loge level. There was an older lady sitting behind me that like me, used to go to the games by herself. Whenever she was not at the game because she also had tickets to the Lakers, I used to buy her ticket so that I could take one of my little cousins to the game.
I did not know how well Mike speaks Spanish. Unlike now, back then I only used to listen to the games in English.
Here is the interview:
Pictures of the No-Hitters Pins
I got pictures of the no-Hitters Pins. Usher and friend Cynthia had them on to promote the games
Monday 9/1, Labor Day josh Beckett no-hitter pin will be given out. The Washington Nationals will be in town. The no-hitter was 5/25 against the Phillies at Philadelphia.
Josh Beckett no-hitter pin
Monday September 22 against the Giants we will get the Clayton Kershaw no-hitter pin. The no-hitter was at Dodger Stadium June 13 against the Rockies. Yes! I was at the stadium.
Clayton Kershaw no-hitter pin
Post done on my iphone from Dodger Stadium. It is not too easy to do that on your phone. Maybe with practice I can get better doing this on my phone.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhoutte
Getting back to posting about the Weekly Photo Chalkenge. A nice way to get me back to the routine of posting in my blog that I have neglected. Hopefully after this post I will get back to posting more often
This week's challenge Silhoutte made me think of a picture I took at … Where else? Dodger Stadium. Here the link to this week's photo Challenge

Writer and historian John Schulian did a wonderful presentation of Dizzy Dean. Nephew Sandy Dean could not attend due to a good baseball reason so Terry Cannon accepted the award.
Dodger Historian waiting his turn to talk about Don Zimmer and present the award to Jean "Zoot" Zimmer.
Mark Langill shared some stories about Don Zimmer from 1958 at the Coliseum. He also found in Don Zimmer an invitation to Don and Zoot Simmer when they got married during a minor league game. The "invitation" was provided you had a ticket to the game

Peter Dreier, the Dr. E.P. Clapp Distinguished Professor of Politics at Occidental College, introduced the induction of Rachel Robinson, which was accepted by her sister-in-law, Delano Robinson.
From Dr. Peter Dreier "Rachel was a real pioneer. In 1940, only five percent of all women – and less than two percent of black women – earned a college degree. But Rachel wasn't about to let those odds get in her way."
After earning her master's degree, Rachel worked as a nurse-therapist and researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
Delano Robinson, sister-in-law of Jackie Robinson. wife of Olympian Mack Robinson accepting the award for Rachel Robinson.
From Peter Dreier speech: "
Rachel was hired as a riveter at the Lockheed Aircraft factory in LA, where they made airplanes for the war effort. She worked the night shift, drove to UCLA at dawn, changed clothes in the parking lot, and then went to class.
To encourage women to take factory jobs during the war, the federal government created an iconic figure – "Rosie the Riveter" – whose image adorned this famous poster.
But if America hadn't been such a racist and segregated society back then, perhaps the government would have selected another woman to represent the nation's female workers – "Rachel the Riveter"."
Afterwards a large group of us went to dinner.

Joan is a student applying for a loan to purchase a laptop to assist in her studies at Strathmore University and this is her story:
I am a second year student at Strathmore University taking a Bachelor's degree in Commerce. I come from a family of five. I have two sisters: the eldest is doing an engineering degree while the other is in primary school.
My parents are self-employed. It is a real struggle for them to raise money for school fees for my siblings and me. I have had a great passion for joining a university ever since I started schooling. I have a great interest in doing Business and, after a lot of research, I settled on Strathmore University because it has a good reputation and it offers quality education. It is the best business school and I wanted to go to the best.
As I move higher in my studies, a laptop has become an important asset. Currently my parents cannot afford to purchase one for me. A laptop will enhance my studies and make it easier to access notes and other important information both on campus and off campus. It will also make access to my blog easier, and I will be in a position to update it more often.
I would like to advance my studies with a Master's and would also like to start my own business.
My message to the world is to live one day at a time, enjoy life and be happy all the time. We should also grab opportunities as they come, so as not to lose out on something great.
Additional Information
Important Information
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
Strathmore University is one of the leading private chartered universities in Kenya, and is a privately owned, not for profit institution. Originally established in 1961 as an Advanced-level Sixth Form College with inspiration and encouragement from Saint Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, Strathmore University started offering degrees in 2002 before becoming fully chartered in 2008.
Strathmore University is a non-traditional Field Partner, in that they are an educational institution, not a microfinance institution. Lenders to these loans should be aware of the following:
1 - You might not begin to receive repayments on this loan for many years, and this loan may have terms as long as 11 years. The full-tuition loans administered by Strathmore University can have loan terms of up to 11 years, which includes a grace period of up to 5 years. The grace period includes the time during which the student is enrolled at the university, and the first year after graduation. During the grace period, the borrower is not required to make any repayments, and you would not receive any repayments. Please be sure the loan terms and repayment schedule of this loan suit you.
2 - Administering loans is a new activity for Strathmore University, which can increase the risk on this loan. While most Kiva Field Partners are microfinance institutions and therefore experienced at administering loans, Strathmore University's core business is providing education, and they are inexperienced at administering loans. This partner has passed Kiva's due diligence requirements for a non-traditional Field Partner, however lenders to this loan should be aware that this loan carries some additional risk as Strathmore University becomes more experienced with administering loans to students.
For more information on Strathmore University, and the Kiva loans they are administering, please visit the Field Partner page.

Is it possible to have SCP filter the files that it copies by date, e.g., if you wanted to copy all files that were created on 12/29 and ignore the others?
You can't do this directly with

I took this example from here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-osxfind-files-by-date/
To feed this into scp you could do this:
This will call scp once per file, which could be slow because it needs to bring up the connection each time. If you only have a handful of files and there are no spaces in the names you can do this:

Slip on your sunglasses and head outside for free concerts around Seattle. The events include downtown Seattle's Out to Lunch concert series, the Summer Concert Series City Hall PlazaPark, Sounds Outside and more.
Now that summertime has finally arrived, it's time to get out and enjoy it — even if you're stuck in a downtown office all day.
Out to Lunch, the Downtown Seattle Association's annual summer series of free music events, is a beloved local tradition. Its shows run from noon to 1:30 p.m. at various locations. They're an opportunity to get out of the office, enjoy lunch in the sun and share a good time with co-workers, fellow music-lovers, tourists and passers-by.
The concert series, which starts Monday and continues through Aug. 22, boasts a strong, eclectic lineup of local stars, including "American Idol" finalist Blake Lewis, playing Aug. 19 at Westlake Park.
Other Out to Lunch favorites include jazz pianist Deems Tsutakawa, guitarist Michael Powers, gospel legend Pat Wright, rock singer Carrie Akre and jazz vocalist Greta Matassa.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
In addition to Westlake Park, shows are set for Occidental Park, Freeway Park, Victor Steinbrueck Park, Harbor Steps and Starbucks HQ.
Also free this month and next, on Thursdays from noon to 1:30 p.m., is the Summer Concert Series City Hall Plaza. The lineup highlights international music, including the Cuban rhythms of Orchestra Zarabanda, the salsa of Cambalache, the hip-hop soul of Choklate, the international percussion of the Global Drum Masters, the swing music and dance of the Century Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap, and the rock of drummer Michael Shrieve, formerly of Santana, and his band, Spellbinder.
There's free music to enjoy after work, too. The University Village Sounds of Summer Concert series runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The music tends to be more lively than the generally laid-back Out to Lunch sounds, so bring the kids. They (and you) can dance to rockabilly, funk, disco and a Beatles tribute band. There's also a children's play area, with face-painting, balloon animals and other activities.
University Village merchants join in with sidewalk sales, so you can peruse the bargains while enjoying the music. Restaurants offer $4 "tastes" of their featured items, like Piatti's prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, The Ram's BBQ skewers, Zao Noodle Bar's Bangkok chicken salad and Delfino's spinach-stuffed pizza. And there's a wine and beer garden, hosted by The Ram.
Free music will fill Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill the afternoon and evening of July 19 and Aug. 23 at Sounds Outside 2008. The music, featuring challenging, contemporary jazz, fits the young, hip image of the Hill. It's a fun scene (probably helped by the many nearby bars) with kids, dog-walkers, Frisbee-throwers, cross-dressers and an interesting mix of folks from the new condos, vintage apartment buildings, businesses and old houses in the area.

Yesterday I asked our readers (on Facebook) about a video that I'd seen of someone doing a whole bunch of mundane things like putting a glove onto a street post and throwing a mattress down some stairs. It was a long shot but I was hoping someone would know what I was talking about despite my vague description. Incredibly, it took less than 3 minutes to track down the video (thanks to Fredrik Berglund). So here is that video as well as a few other brilliant works by artist Koki Tanaka.

Toxic Strength; Professional and Olympic Athletes Have Grabbed All the Headlines for Using Illegal Steroids to Enhance Their Performance. Now the Practice Is Catching on among Students in American High Schools. Doctors Say It's a Health Crisis in the Making
Byline: Jerry Adler (With Anne Underwood, Julie Scelfo and Vanessa Juarez in New York, Dirk Johnson and Hilary Shenfeld in Illinois, Jamie Reno, Andrew Murr and Karen Breslau in California and Joan Raymond in Ohio)
It can take years to hit bottom with many drugs, decades with alcohol. But on steroids Chris Wash managed it in just 12 months, starting with a dream of playing for a top college basketball team and winding up on a highway overpass, waiting for the moment to jump. In that time Wash, a 1.88-meter guard on the Plano West High School team in Plano, Texas, went from a rangy 82 kilograms to a hulking 104, with shoulders so big he could barely pull on his backpack in the morning. And he developed a whole new personality to match that intimidating physique: depressed, aggressive and volatile.
After a series of fights in his junior year his coach threw him off the team, but by then building muscles had become an end in itself. He switched from pills to injecting himself with steroids in the buttocks, often with a couple of friends, including a promising high-school baseball player named Taylor Hooton. That went on for several months, until one day Hooton was found dangling from his belt in his bedroom, an apparent suicide. Frightened, Wash gathered up his vials and syringes and threw them down the sewer. But an insidious thing about steroids is that stopping them abruptly can lead to depression. A few weeks later Wash drove to a bridge across a Dallas freeway and walked to the middle, looking down at the rushing traffic.
America's professional baseball league will no doubt eventually solve, or at least paper over, the explosive charges involving steroid use by some of its biggest stars, and the athletes will live with the consequences to their reputations and their health, cushioned by their eight-figure contracts. But their examples have placed a generation of teenage athletes at risk for the same mistakes, which could end their careers--if not their lives--long before they reach the big time. An authority on youth sports, Dr. Jordan D. Metzl of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, calls steroid use "a burgeoning epidemic" in the United States.
The annual "Monitoring the Future" survey by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research suggests that the rate of steroid use by U.S. high-school students increased throughout the 1990s before dropping off slightly in 2003; a NEWSWEEK analysis of the data indicates that last year more than 300,000 students between the eighth and 12th grades used steroids. And they were not all jocks; as many as one third were girls, and experts say there is a growing problem of steroid use by boys whose heroes aren't baseball sluggers but the sinewy, rock-jawed models glowering from the pages of the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. This development led to the recent introduction of a new psychological diagnosis, muscle dysmorphia (sometimes called "reverse anorexia"). For teenagers who use steroids, the side effects may begin with severe acne and run through hair loss, infertility, male breast development, violent mood swings and paranoia. And, in an unpleasant irony, steroids can stunt growth and cause injuries that could end the very career they were intended to enhance.
And they don't even get you high, at least not in the way most drug addicts would recognize. Consequently, steroid users don't consider themselves addicts, even those whose dependency is obvious, usually in retrospect. But steroids have their own seductions. "They make you pumped, aggressive, hypersexual, and that's going to feel good to a lot of these kids," says Dr. Kirk Brower, an addiction-treatment specialist at the University of Michigan. Athletes who train on steroids can gain muscle mass at phenomenal rates, nearly a kilogram a week. Training for strength and speed is grueling work, pitting your muscles against the whole mass of the Earth, with only the clock or weight stack to measure your progress. …

I am the second owner for Honda civic 2006. Bought the car 8 months back and just noticed that there is a leakage of coolant. Whenever I top off the coolant it holds good for 3 weeks before the engine again gets heated up. Later, my mechanic confirmed that there is a problem in engine block which has a crack in it. But the previous owner has made a temporary fix with a JB weld and epoxy coating for it. Though it worked for a while before giving up. Now I have asked my mechanic for a replacement engine (Original HONDA OEM engine). He had already made the replacement for the engine. I have spent around 3500$ for this replacement. Only then I came to know about HONDA's warranty for cracked engine block problems. Honda care person confirmed that my VIN# is eligible for 10 years/unlimited mile warranty for the cracked engine block. Given these circumstances, what are my options left? Now what should I do to claim a reimbursement (for $3500)towards the engine replacement cost with HONDA? Will HONDA encourage this claim as the old engine had a cracked engine block but there was a temporary fix in place on it?

I am awaiting a reply from HONDA tech on this. Please advice as to how to proceed with my warranty claim now that I have already replaced the engine. But I have all the bills with me.

North reaches new heights in pool
Knights' swim team has broken seven school records this season
Published: Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 10:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 10:50 p.m.
Two years ago, North Henderson High School had two members on its swim team.
Girls 200 Medley Relay: (2:12.01)
Girls 200 IM: (2:23.87) by Terri Torro
Boys 200 IM: (2:42.45) by Jordan McDaniel
Girls 100 Back: (1:05:33) by Gabby McDaniel
Girls 100 Breast: (1:17.63) by Terri Torro
Boys 100 Breast: (1:25.35) by Brandon West
Boys 400 Free Relay: (4:30.49)
Now, the team is just two shy of 40, and in the past three weeks, those swimmers have shattered seven school records.
"I have 38 swimmers on my roster," second-year coach Cyndi McDaniel said Thursday. "We practice every morning at 5:45 a.m. at the Leila Patterson Center, and I always have 100 percent attendance."
The Knight and Lady Knight swimming program is under its biggest overhaul ever, and things are only going to get better, according to McDaniel.
"Kids are working hard. I have a lot of swimmers who just started, like Justin Glisson. He just learned to swim three weeks ago, and he's already put up state-qualifying times. Then there's my son, Jordan, who is a freshman. He's been here three months, and he's already broken the school record in the 200 individual medley," McDaniel said.
On Wednesday night at Tuscola, North lost to the Mountaineers, but it was really a moral victory.
"Tuscola has 15 year-round swimmers. I have two. Still, at that meet, every single North swimmer who got in the water had personal best times. It was a great night," McDaniel said.
For the past 10 years, North hasn't sent a boys relay team to either the regional or state championships, but that won't be the case this season, according to McDaniel.
"One of our boys relay teams has broken three school records, and so far, three of our boys relay teams have regional qualifying times," she said.
Prior to coming to North, McDaniel was meet director for the Piranha Swim Team, which her daughter, Gabby McDaniel, swam for. Gabby and Terri Torro were the only North swim members back in 2007.
Coach McDaniel has been involved with USA Swimming for the past 10 years and was also a former assistant coach at West.
"I got a call from the North AD (athletic director), and he hired me. I've been given the opportunity to bring new life into the program, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. There's definitely a new attitude with these kids," she said.

Two hillbillies, Rufus and Clarence had been enemies for years. All that separated them was a wide river. For years each man would go down to the bank and yell at each other promising that if they could swim they would swim the river and give the other beating. One year the Army Corps of Engineers built a bridge over the river. Rufus' wife said, "Enough is enough, I have listened to these threats for years. With the bridge there is no excuse!" Rufus reluctantly headed out, but in a few minutes he was back at home hiding under the bed. His wife demanded an explanation. Rufus said, "There was a sign on the bridge that stated, 'Clearance - 13 feet & 6 inches'. He sure never looked that big from the other side of the river!"
Tears flow for many reasons. Sadness being perhaps the primary cause, but also pain, and even tears of joy. In Numbers 14:1 we read, "Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night." What a bitter sound this must have been throughout the camp of Israel. The tears did not have to flow this night, in fact the opposite of it should have occurred. The tears on this occasion were tears of fear and doubt. The children of Israel were on the verge of taking possession of the promised land that so long ago had been promised to them by God. If they had only believed that by God's power it would be theirs just as He said. Instead when they were told by ten of the twelve spies, who had investigated the land that in it dwelt giants, they wept the night away.
The people of Israel no longer saw themselves as God saw them, but as the giants saw them, grasshoppers soon to be crushed under their feet. Through Christ, we today are seen as conquerors, yet like Israel of old, so often all we see are the giants. Our giant past, giant family problems, giant weaknesses, giant goals, giant ignorance, giant sins, and before you know it we are nothing but grasshoppers, instead of the conquerors we were meant to be. Christ is bigger than all our giants. You are invited to come worship with us and learn about the giant killer.

Low birth weight appears to be linked to autism, at least in some cases.
That's according to new research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where doctors examined birth records for more than 550 children with autism, and compared them with a control group of children.
Babies born before 33 weeks gestation, and weighing less than 5 and a half pounds had a two-fold risk for autism. The risk was higher for low birth weight girls than boys.

How might Rasmussen encephalitis be treated?
Anti-epileptic drugs are usually not effective in controlling the seizures associated with Rasmussen encephalitis. Recent studies have shown some success with treatments that suppress or modulate the immune system, in particular those that use corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, or tacrolimus. Surgery to control seizures may be performed in later stages of the disease when neurological deficits stabilize. Surgical procedures, such as functional hemispherectomy (removal of half of the brain) and hemispherotomy (a surgical procedure for hemispheric disconnection), may reduce the frequency of seizures and also improve behavior and cognitive abilities.[1]

A white Mississippi teenager has been indicted for capital murder and a hate crime on charges he intentionally ran over a middle-age black man with a pickup truck.
Deryl Dedmon, 19, was indicted in the June 26 death of James Craig Anderson.
Capital murder in Mississippi is defined as murder committed
along with another felony. It carries the sentences of death or life in prison without parole.
Dedmon also was charged under Mississippi's hate crime law. This is the first announced indictment in the case.
Authorities say seven white teenagers were partying when Dedmon suggested they go find a black man to "mess with."
Prosecutors say Dedmon and another teen beat Anderson before Dedmon ran him down with the vehicle.

Save the game? The only time you should be saving the game for calibration is ONCE and that's at the beginning of the "procedure", you save in an area where you intend to catch high leveled Pokemon in order to input them into the DS Parameters window. So BASICALLY
1. Save in an area with high leveled Pokemon
2. Turn game off and set the arbitrary time to which you will be inputting into the DS Parameters window.
3. Using EonTimer to know when to start the game up from the MAIN window of the DS/3DS.
4. Get into the game and catch Pokemon and input data into the DS Parameters window.
That's it, once you get the results you redo the whole process without saving. The timer0's are basically what you're landing on for the given reset. They WILL be different but if you do the process enough times you can narrow it down to ones that you hit more often then others, this being especially true for Black 2/White 2.

" Genre: Crime / Thriller / Author: Stephen King / Paperback / 304 Pages / Book is published 2013-06-07 by Hard Case Crime (Titan Books) "
* Prices may differ from that shown
"Don't judge a book by its cover", or so the saying goes. And in the case of Joyland that's a very good piece of advice. Based on the cover (and the publisher - Hard Case Crime), you would probably expect a noir detective novel, perhaps something in the mode of Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe. What you actually get is a fairly typical Stephen King supernatural thriller.
Not that this is a bad thing. Whilst Joyland might be a little different to some of King's recent efforts, its main focus (how the supernatural might impact on the lives of ordinary people) is pure King and has at least some elements in common with novels like The Shining, Stand by Me and The Green Mile.
Devin Jones is a college student. Whilst working at a funfair as a summer job, he gets to know a young boy and his mother and becomes fascinated with an old unsolved murder and ghost tale. Unknown to him, both will have a major influence on his life.
Joyland is Stephen King at his best. He takes a story in which (if you boil it down to essentials) very little happens and turns it into a tale that you just can't put down. It's a slow-burning thriller; one where the main elements of the plot are introduced very gradually and the overall drift of the plot only becomes clear over time. Yet this gradual drip feeding of information does its job very effectively. Rather than being frustrated at the apparent lack of progress, you become intrigued and fascinated with what is happening; as anxious to get to the bottom of things as Jones himself.
It's helped by the fact that the characters are so likeable. Devin Jones is a charismatic young man, likeable and charming, as are his co-workers at the funfair. OK, so perhaps Jones is a little too goody two-shoes (particularly for his age - an age when all of us can be quite self-centred!), but he's so damn likeable you can't even hold that against him! King gives a real sense of life to everything, bringing both characters and the fictional Joyland to life. Of course, it's a rather romanticised version of life as a "carny", but again it's none the worse for that. Novels are meant to be a form of escapism; to suggest that other jobs are more interesting and exciting than your own, and that's what Joyland provides.
When it comes to the writing, Joyland is one of King's more straightforward novels. Most of the characters are fairly one-dimensional (you could argue stereotypical), but that actually benefits the book rather than spoiling it. Since it contains a fairly straightforward story, it needs fairly straightforward characters and writing - exactly what King provides. There is enough detail to give you a sense of what working in a funfair might be like (with the emphasis on the "might"), but he doesn't over do things, providing so much detail that you drown in extraneous information. Comments in the next paragraph aside, Joyland is almost perfectly paced.
If there's a major criticism, it's that the ending feels rushed. There are two endings: the first sees the unmasking of a killer; the second the fate of a young boy. It's this latter element which isn't developed sufficiently and so lacks the emotional impact it should perhaps have. The book also leaves a lot of questions unanswered, particularly around the fate of some of the key characters after the events of this book. I ended the book feeling like I wanted to know more. Sometimes that is a good thing (it's always better to want more than for something to overstay its welcome), but in this instance I felt the book lacked adequate closure.
Joyland was a real pleasure to read. It might not be quite what I expected from the cover art, but I think that actually heightened my enjoyment. I approached Joyland with a little trepidation: I don't particularly enjoy noir thrillers and I wasn't sure that King's style would be suited to one. Thankfully, what you see on the cover is not what you get inside. This is a typical King effort and whilst it might not be his greatest work (possibly not even in the top 20), it will appeal to his long-term fans whilst remaining highly accessible to newcomers.
Basic Information
Stephen King
Hard Case Crime, 2013
(C) copyright SWSt 2013
In the clowns, paranormal activity and death King is often overlooked for his ability to write human feelings and relationship, he was the man who wrote The Green Mile, after all.
Devin decides to take on a job at a small theme park during a summer between school and college in the 1970's, a recipe for a heartache. Upon arrival he learns of the ghost that lurks in the haunted house, the spirit left of a woman murdered there. A murder that was never solved but unravels throughout this story.
Horror fans may be disappointed as this is less about horror and more about friendship, getting over first loves and that stage between childhood and adulthood. The horror is just a device to bring various characters together, in fact that clairvoyance theme is far more chilling.
You are so engrossed with the characters that you barely realise that very little has happen, much like authors like Nick Hornby the plot doesn't run quickly but the development of characters do. The setting of 1970's and the fact Devin is a wannabe writer shows the connection between the young protagonist and the author.
Its not until the final few chapters the murder mystery really comes into play.
On a side not how awesome is the cover, it really drew me to the book.

how to remove kitchen drawer
how do you remove the builder installed kitchen drawer with the side roller type.
I am thinking pull all the way out and just lift up?
If it uses rollers, yeah, pull out and lift up. The rollers should come out over a little hump/slot in the track.
If it's full extension slides, there's usually a plastic catch to lift up / press down / press in.
I have a drawer that has a 'dog' on each slide and they have to be rotated up to allow the drawer to be removed!

Depp's new nightclubJohnny Depp is to become a nightclub owner again.
The Hollywood heartthrob - who used to own Hollywood's infamous Viper Room, where actor River Phoenix died of a drugs overdose - has invested in Las Vegas nightspot the Empire Ballroom.
Johnny, who starred in the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', and his business partner, Salvatore Jenco, are hoping to restore the club to "an era of lost elegance and service."
Johnny is not the only Hollywood star to go into the nightclub business - it was recently reported that George Clooney wants to open a string of glamorous bars.
The handsome star is said to be teaming up with fellow bachelor Brad Pitt, who will do the interior design.
The swanky nightspots are likely to open along the west coast of America - and, if successful, Clooney will expand the chain worldwide.
Clooney has already been spotted looking at properties in both Las Vegas and Arizona.

Arab American College Students' Physical Activity and Body Composition: Reconciling Middle East-West Differences Using the Socioecological Model
Kahan, David, Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
In this study, I conducted focus group interviews with 21 Arab American college students (9 men, 12 women; 9 Muslims, 12 non-Muslims), who were selected for extreme manifestation of religiosity or acculturation, to explore their beliefs and attitudes toward socioecological (SE) factors that facilitated and hindered their individual physical activity (PA) and body composition (I also considered body image and food and eating behavior). To analyze responses, I used a combination of deductive coding, which used levels of the SE model and demographic variable groupings, and inductive coding, to search for common themes among participants within and between research questions. Results revealed that (a) the context of physical activity participation differed by gender; (b) ideal body image was conflicted and varied by gender; and (c) consumption of cultural foods diminished along with Arab social customs related to eating. Interpersonal and cultural/community levels of the SE model were identified as primary influences, with parents regulating and instilling values backed by cultural norms to preserve Arab identity, especially in women. Finally, I identified an indeterminate adjustment period, during which immigrants transitioned between physical activity purpose/form in the Middle East and the United States.
Key words: acculturation, ethnic minority, health behavior, qualitative research
The effects of physical inactivity and obesity have long been studied. Research that focuses on these two conditions and their correlates among racial and ethnic minorities in the United States is growing. California's population of Arab Americans, the group of focus in this study, is ranked first in number in the United States, with 12% of the state's population living in San Diego County, the location of the present study (Arab American Institute, 2003).
There is a moderate yet growing database on morbidity status within the Arab American community. Of note is the prevalence of coronary heart disease risk factors (Hatahet, Khosla, & Fungwe, 2002) and diabetes (Jaber et al., 2003). More specifically, Arab Californian first-generation immigrants experienced significantly higher proportional mortality ratios (range = 1.28-2.04) for coronary heart disease and diabetes than non-Hispanic U.S.-born Caucasians (Nasseri, 2008). Despite accumulating evidence of morbidity among Arab Americans, there is little research on their physical activity behavior. Considering physical activity's link to coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008)--diseases to which Arab Americans are vulnerable--this gap in research needs to be addressed. Results of international studies suggest that Arabs engage in less leisure-time physical activity compared to other ethnic/religious groups in countries such as Canada (Tremblay, Bryan, Perez, Ardern, & Kartzmarzyk, 2006) and Sweden (Lindstrom & Sundquist, 2001).
To address this gap, Kahan (2007, 2009) conducted studies of Middle Eastern college students in California to ascertain overweight prevalence, physical activity status, and their respective correlates. Table 1 depicts results of these studies. Taken together, descriptive findings suggested that men were more prone to overweight, while women were less active; however, the complex combination of correlates associated with these outcomes only describe and do not explain observed trends.
Explanatory data gleaned from ecological analyses of barriers to physical activity may yield "...effective, targeted interventions...designed to alleviate barriers within specific categories, which are systematically interconnected" (Gyurcsik, Spink, Bray, Chad, & Kwan, 2006, p. 705). The interacting tiers of the social ecological model (Sallis & Owen, 2002)---intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional/ organizational, community, and public policy--may be particularly salient to Arabs (Shuval et al. …

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers have scheduled a news conference with Frank Vogel amid speculation that he will be the team's next head coach.
The team scheduled the news conference for Wednesday morning with Vogel and Larry Bird, the Pacers' president of basketball operations.
Vogel took over for Jim O'Brien last season and the team finished the year 20-18. The Pacers made the playoffs for the first time since 2006, losing 4-1 to top-seeded Chicago.
Bird has called Vogel the favorite from the beginning of the search. Indiana was interested in Mike Brown, but the former Pacers assistant and Cleveland head coach took the top job with the Lakers.

A 30-year-old Bristol Township man who is accused of accidentally shooting his girlfriend, who was scheduled to testify against him, will be tried on the original assault charge and a new charge of illegally possessing a handgun.
In a brief court appearance Tuesday, the Bucks County District Attorney agreed to consolidate a December simple assault charge against Brian McDuffie with the new charge of possessing a firearm, which he is prohibited from doing because he's a convicted felon. McDuffie waived his right to a preliminary hearing on the charges.
