text: 000 FXUS63 KDTX 250733 AFDDTX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 333 AM EDT WED MAY 25 2016 .DISCUSSION... Appears in the long range models that the current western conus trough and eastern conus ridge will hold through the next week or more. This means the current warm airmass will hold in place with high temperatures largely in the 80s through the forecast. It also means the northeast flow regime will persist with a series of shortwaves ejecting out of the trough up through the Midwest keeping chances of thunderstorms in the forecast nearly every day. It won`t be a complete wash out this week though as best chances of precipitation will be tied to shortwaves with an overall lack of lower level lifting mechanisms. One other thing to watch for will be upstream MCS`s and the potential they can hold together into lower Michigan. Currently there is a stalled cold front draped across mid Michigan which was the focus for some showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday and Tuesday night. A narrow ribbon of enhanced theta e was co- located along the front providing a boost in moisture to a relatively dry column, while weak convergence developed at the surface at the front. A fairly strong mid level short wave has lifted out of southern California and will pass through MN and into Ontario this evening. A lobe of vorticity extending southeast from the developing mid level low will sweep through southern Michigan this evening, which will change the stalled front into a warm front that will lift north toward the straits by early Thursday afternoon. This will present one of the best opportunities for thunderstorms in the forecast as the nose of a strong theta e surge lifts into the area behind the warm front. Elevated levels of CAPE around 500-1000 J/Kg, shear increasing to around 30 knots, and favorable mid level lapse rates and LI`s will also accompany the front. Some storms could become strong but stability in the lower levels will keep things more elevated which could reduce gust potential. Coverage should increase over the western and northern part of the SE MI but most locations will have at least a high chance of showers. Another wave is set eject through the flow Friday morning presenting the next good chance at widespread showers and thunderstorms across the area. Upstream trough amplification will lead to the resident ridge getting pulled back to the west which will pull the better support westward as well. Will have to watch how this all evolves moving forward as large convective systems in the plains may keep the lower heights further south and east. Heading into the weekend the wave train continues but timing any of these features is difficult at best with this type of active pattern. It is worth noting that outside of the two more dominate waves heading into the weekend, the models are all fairly uniform in presenting more of a diurnal component to the shower activity. Once we get the higher dew points into the region, a summer like pattern will ensue with diurnal heating popping a few showers in the afternoon. With lack of any focusing mechanism coverage will be ill defined, hence a daily chance pop lingers in the forecast. && .MARINE... A weak cold front will remain the focal point for marine weather in the short term as it settles into southern Lake Huron and central lower Michigan today and then returns northward tonight. The wind will be light within and around the frontal zone leaving the main impact to be showers and thunderstorms that will become more numerous tonight. Fog will also become increasingly prevalent as the warm and humid air pools over the colder open waters of Lake Huron. The front will move northward into Canada Thursday and leave light southerly wind over all marine areas that will maintain warm air Friday into Saturday. Showers and storms remain possible but will be less organized until possibly later Saturday and Saturday night as low pressure develops over the upper Midwest. This system will also help maintain warm conditions and light south wind well into the holiday weekend. && .HYDROLOGY... Warm air with increasing humidity will pool along a front settling as far south as the I-69 corridor today. High temperatures returning to the lower and mid 80s could result in a few thunderstorms along the front during the afternoon and evening. Showers and storms are then expected to increase coverage overnight with the help of low pressure over the Midwest that will pull the front northward Thursday. Rainfall amounts are expected to vary widely depending on thunderstorm coverage but should average 0.25 to 0.5 inch for the Wednesday night-Thursday period with locally higher totals near 1 inch possible in thunderstorms. Warm and humid air will then remain in place to support shower and thunderstorm potential into the weekend with less organization until arrival of the next low pressure system possibly by Saturday into Saturday night. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 1155 PM EDT Tue May 24 2016 AVIATION... Persistently dry/stable low level environment will sustain a clear sky within the lowest 5000 ft tonight and early Wednesday. Modest southwesterly flow during this time as dominant high pressure of recent days gradually pulls east. Weakening frontal boundary will slide into central lower MI during the early morning period. This may support some widely scattered high based showers in the vicinity of MBS. Gradual increase in moisture Wednesday may allow for a low coverage of late day VFR cumulus. Prospects for thunderstorm development through Wednesday evening remain too low to include at this time. //DTW Threshold Probabilities... * None && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE.

Anti-Islam ads appeared on 10 public buses in San Francisco on Monday, showing "inflammatory quotes by Islamic fundamentalists" accompanied by "an anonymous terrorist," according to Transportation Nation.
The ads are paid for by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, whose executive director, Pamela Geller, told the New York Observer in December, "I refuse to abridge my free speech so as to appease savages."
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (better known as Muni) says it cannot reject the ads, based on a September court ruling that decided New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority could not do so.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative has bought space on San Francisco buses before, to display ads that read "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
In response, Transportation Nation reported, Muni bought space on its own buses, to run ads in protest: "SFMTA policy prohibits discrimination based on national origin, religion, and other characteristics and condemns statements that describe any group as "savages."
Geller's group has also run similar ads in Washington, D.C.'s subway system.
Here's a photo of one of the ads, sent in by reader Olga Timofeyeva :

This meal is great served with mashed potatoes.
If you make extra sauce for the top of the meatloaf it goes well on the mashed potatoes. Prepare them as usual and then place them in a pan, take the extra sauce drizzle over top of the mashed potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes on a low heat.
This meatloaf fell apart! Yes it tasted good but when I served it, it wasn't slices but mounds of meatloaf. I followed the directions, letting it sit for 15 minutes, used ground sirloin. I don't know maybe it shoud be 2 eggs?
My family loved the meatloaf.....we had no leftovers at all....i will be adding this recipe to my collection....it was awesome!
Great Meatloaf, My kids love it!!!

Great product for the $$
I purchased the skid plate for my CRF150R after a buddy of mine bought a dirtbike with a cracked case. I didn't want to run into the same issue and decided to buy a skid plate as a preventative measure. The skid plate shipped quickly and appears to be well made. It held up on some pretty rocky terrain. I would recommend this product.

Excellant purchase for the money!
Just got my skid plate in and installed it in less than 10 min. The fit was perfect and it seems built very well. Think this will probably be the last skid plate Ile ever have to buy for this bike.

Don't waste time shopping around!
5 minute install?? Not quite. More realistically 15 minutes. (A couple trips downstairs to get the correct allen wrenches.) It fits perfectly. Protection plus. Thanks Moose, and thank you Dennis Kirk.

Awesome Skid Plate
I purchased the Skid Plate since i mainly ride in trails and rocky conditions. This skid plate does a great job at protecting vital engine parts you don't want getting damaged. Traps a bit of mud though, but easily washes off with a power hose.

Population and welfare are growing. Providing the world with metals is becoming a major challenge. Only by closing the loop will metals be available in sufficient quantities, not just now but also in the future: urban mining, the substantial re-use and recycling of metals. In this MOOC we will explore the challenges related to metals supply, both scarcity and environmental impacts, and the conditions and consequences of a circular economy for metals, based on the reports of UNEP's International Resource Panel.
Metals are ubiquitous – they are all around us – and provide a foundation upon which our economies are built. Economic development is deeply coupled with the use of metals. During the 20th century the production has increased exponentially, and the variety of metal applications in society has grown rapidly. In addition to mass applications such as steel in buildings, copper in wires and aluminium in airplanes, more and more metals are required for innovative technologies such as the use of rare earth elements in renewable energy systems.
Worldwide, and in particular in emerging economies, the demand for metals is rapidly increasing. The continued increase in metals demand and use over the 20th century has led to substantial social, economic and environmental challenges. Mining activities expand but easily accessible deposits are becoming scarce. As a result, the supply of critical metals is under an increasing pressure. This implies recycling, also referred to as "urban mining", is of growing importance in generating raw materials. In the end, the only really effective solution to the metals challenge may be to move towards a circular economy.
To be able to do that, information is needed on metal stocks in society, their size and residence time, as well as on the technologies that are available to recover these metals when the stocks become obsolete. This course, based on the reports of the Global Metals Flows Working Group of UNEP's International Resource Panel (IRP), investigates the nature of the metals challenge and the conditions and the consequences of the way out: a circular economy for metals.
Week 1: Introduction to metals
Week 2: The metals challenge: scarcity, environmental impacts, criticality
Week 3: Metal stocks and flows
Week 4: Re-use and recycling: urban mining
Week 5: Towards a circular economy
No prior background required. Basic chemistry knowledge is helpful.
The main body of resources – the UNEP IRP reports on metals – is freely available. You can download the reports here
The course consists of a number of weekly video lectures, complementary clips, expert statements and illustrative examples. The course will also be supported by practical assignments.

Recap: 'America's Next Top Model: College Edition'- Season 19, Episode 10, 'The Girl Who Becomes Art For Tyra'
11/14/2012 8:39pm EST
The episode 10 begins with the remaining models ranting over various issues: Kiara on being in the the previous week's bottom two, Kristin annoyance at being stuck in the house with the remaining contestants, and Laura over Leila's comeback.
Photo Shoot Creative Consultant Johnny Wujek introduces the models to singer Cedella Marley, for the "new challenge of the week," to model Marley's new High Tide swim wear collection. Up for grabs is a House Of Marley prize package worth over $3,000, plus a friend spa day, and $10,000 for individual scholarship bank. Leila puts her best game on to win the "challenge of the week," and chooses Kiara to share her spa day. The models betray their envy, of Leila's prize back at the "ANTM Sorority House," especially Kristin who more than happily and unflinchingly airs continued contempt for competitor Leila.
P'trique, the Fashion "It" Girl, delivers "Tyra Mail" hinting the models for the Ocho Rios "warrior waterfalls theme-d photo shoot challenge of the week." Wujek suprises the models with the guest photographer of the week: Tyra Banks. The shoot, both challenging and dangerous, finds Laura most uncomfortable.
Panel critiques leave models Kiara and Leila in high spirits and bottom two Laura and Kristin down in the dumps. Kiara and Kristin have it out verbally, while waiting for final panel discussions, over Kristin's personally taken offense over Kiara's and Leila's show of competitive pride. The challenge winner of the week is Leila, with Kiara standing second, leaving Laura and Kristin the last two models left standing. Kristin's social media score sends her packing. Kiara's portrait becomes the art selected to grace the wall of Banks' new home salon.
Kristin's strong dislike of the other models in the competition works against her and only secures social media's dislike of her overall performance.
So, still want to make in the modeling world? Antagonism towards your peers will only put down fast even before you can strike a pose!

Dedicated Followers of Fashion
Even Women's Wear Daily, the fashion industry's bible, sheepishly admits that most people buy their clothes at Wal-Mart or Target. To be fair, most people attending the Voltage: Fashion Amplified show, held a couple of weeks ago at First Avenue, made it out to the mall, or to one of the downtown department stores, or an Uptown boutique, to come up with something to wear for the big runway/live music extravaganza. Anybody with fashionista aspirations, from bona fide label whores to hipsters with a discerning eye for consignment, all packed into First Ave, wearing their weekend best on a Tuesday, wedging up to the railings in order to catch the pantheistic sprites modeling Ana Voog's knit headwear or to see Faux Jean decked out in Hefty-bag shirts and cardboard chaps.
There was something in the air that, if you've watched enough of the Style Network, you've learned to recognize as "fabulousness." The event was billed by organizer Anna Lee as a summit of local indie designers and local indie rockers. Perhaps participants saw themselves as contributors to the ongoing conversation between rock and fashion, a give-and-take that reaches back to Elvis's influence as a youth fashion icon, Hendrix's psychedelia and the Who's mod duds, Warhol's Factory-produced imagery for New York proto-punks, Vivienne Westwood's fetish plastic for the Sex Pistols, and Marc Jacobs's 1993 "grunge" collection. Judging from some of the wide-eyed stares of the rockers milling around the back bar, they were either deeply contemplating this glamorous legacy, or they had just witnessed backstage, for the first time, the professional model's blasé attitude toward nudity. For the most part, everybody got the vibe just right and it all was for a great cause (proceeds went to Youth In Music, a music education charity). But did this event mean anything, or is "local fashion" something that runs only skin deep?
While it's easy to tease a bunch of salacious young guitarists for their lack of dressing-room composure, Minneapolis isn't necessarily a fashion backwater. There's a strong design community here, with talent emerging from the U's Fashion Design Program (MCAD is also a major source of design talent, although the school eliminated its fashion design program in 1990). Many of these grads find work at the corporate headquarters of Target and Marshall Fields, or as costumers and milliners for the Guthrie, or as freelance costume designers for other local theaters. But we're certainly not New York or Los Angeles--without a garment district, the industry isn't in place to support locally designed and constructed lines. And, in a chicken-or-egg scenario, there doesn't seem to be much demand for locally made fashion, when a handmade skirt could theoretically demand Oval Room prices for the labor alone.
The British costume authority James Laver said of fashion, "Nothing seems to be able to turn it back until it has provoked a reaction by its very excess." Meaning the hemlines of miniskirts recede until they are at can't-safely-use-public-transportation levels, or shoulder pads inflate until women assume Brian Urlacher silhouettes. But the local designers taking part in an indie fashion show such as Voltage, or even a glitzier event like February's DIVAS benefit for DIFFA (The Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS), are detached from the supply and demand that shapes the practical-to-outrageous-to-practical fashion cycle. Even local bands are more beholden to the whims of the market than local designers--there's not much of a recording business in town, but you have to be able to sell a few tickets in order to book decent gigs. Sure, most runway shows are where designers are free to show off their outrageous art-for-art's sake ideas, using these conceptual designs as directives for their more marketable ready-to-wear lines. But most local designers struggle to put together a few pieces to sell at a local boutique or gallery, let alone a corollary line. Without the demands of a market, they're inclined to work on the outrageous edge.
A month before the event, I visit the home of one of the designers, Emily Kores, to see what goes into preparing for one of these shows. Kores isn't collaborating with a band; she's debuting seven complete outfits for the runway part of the show. Kores lives with her roommate and frequent "muse" Forrest Gust (Gust stands 6'5" and is androgynously thin). During the day, she works for Target, putting her fashion degree from UW-Stout to work by collaborating on mass-market designs for the discount clothier. Many of her college friends work at Target too, or have gone on to other major retailers in the Upper Midwest. Kores has been working for more than a month already--sketching, then working on patterns, then prototyping, and finally sewing her own designs. Between getting ready for this show and her 50-hour-a-week Target job, she barely has time to see her boyfriend more than once a week. Despite the stress, she doesn't have any illusions about striking it big in Minneapolis. "I do this to kind of balance out my corporate America gig," she says. She would like to sell her stuff, but without access to a garment district, it's too much work to put a complete size run--a run of three different sizes of the same garment--together. "I could never sell any of this for what it's worth, so it's purely educational. I want to continue to learn about construction and fit and execution," she says. "And maybe I'll get a website up eventually." She sighs, "Everybody has a website."
Kores, wearing a simple black long-sleeve blouse with a pair of green track pants, is frantic, dashing around her top-floor apartment. She surrounds herself with vintage fabrics, unusual textiles, and furs. She inherited this love of material from her mother, who still sends her bolts of fabric that she finds at estate sales, and her grandmother, who also hoarded fabric. Her bedroom is plastered with prints of 1925 French Vogue covers, surfaces are covered with 40-year-old buttons, and her mom just sent her a bunch of dyed rabbit pelts that she plans to fashion into a capelet for the show. The kitchen table has been converted into a temporary glue press, with books squishing the dark-violet rabbit fur to a piece of fabric. She's harried, but she takes pride in the smallest details of her work. She can barely contain her enthusiasm about a jacket hanging on a mannequin: "Look at the calico seams on this jacket," she crows. "It will hang viciously."
An hour before the show is set to begin, a line is forming outside of First Avenue. Upstairs, the VIP area at the back of the building is packed with half-dressed models waiting in line for makeup artists, or to be photographed at the makeshift portrait studio. Walking through, I'm forced to step over a pair of male models doing push-ups in the middle of the floor. Both restrooms are converted into overflow areas, where bands are touched up before the show. Each band on the bill has been assigned to a designer, which provides a welcome artistic constraint. At the very least, the clothes have to be functional enough to play music in. Friends Like These is in the bathroom now. Azure Marlowe, who works with reconfigured vintage materials--she sandblasts and stencils jeans, and cuts up Members Only jackets--has outfitted FLT. In order to accentuate the "sleazy and nasty" side of rock and roll, the band is being done up to look as if they just arrived from a rip-roaring Sharks vs. Jets-style duke-out; glamorous shiners and glittery bruises are being delicately painted over their features. After seeing Friends Like These get their injuries painted on in the men's room, I meet Ehsan Alam, lead singer of Revolver Modèle at the bar. Alam is wearing heavy gauze around his wrist. "Nice touch," I say. "No, this is real," he says. "I knocked over a candle in bed last weekend and burned my arm. I can't play guitar tonight." Very Robert Smith, right?
Some of the designs, like Sarah Winge's and Elizabeth Chesney's angular, athletically cut suits for Shadowbox, are just slightly more elegant tweaks to the jeans-and-a-T-shirt look favored by many bands. Other get-ups, like Anna Lee's ruffled shirts and tailored suits with painted-on pinstripes for Revolver Modèle make sartorial references to a band's sonic influences. But several of the groups seem a little squirmy in their new clothes. The three women in Luke's Angels usually wear jeans, simple blouses, and little makeup onstage. Tonight, with their spiky hair and A-line skirts, they look like wild-and-crazy schoolteachers caught in a bad SNL skit. They're visibly self-conscious, and it affects the performance. Even Faux Jean, one of the more polished live shows in town (although they are debuting a new lineup tonight) struggles with the gimmick. Onstage, in exchange for their trademark uniform of cheap suits and skinny ties, the band is wearing Western shirts made out of garbage bags by designer D.J. Gramann. Gramann uses paper and plastic garbage bags to construct "trash bash" couture for museum openings, or shows such as DIVAS or Voltage. Although new singer Corrine Caouette, wearing a red and black bell-shaped paper-and-plastic number, looks like she belongs at the Opry itself, the rest of the band finds it difficult to overcome the challenge of looking cool while tossing gigantic paper 10-gallon hats into the crowd after the country number "Pissed Off City."
A few days after the show, Kores is depressed. Slouched into a vintage easy chair, Gust perches next to her and reminds her how warmly her clothes were received. Her smartly tailored jackets drew oohs from the crowd and the models complimented her on the pieces backstage. "Yeah, I know, but it's just depressing to realize that nothing is going to come of it," she says. Kores's parents made the trip from Madison, Wisconsin, to see the debut of her new line. Before the event, Kores decided on a name: "Dort," after her grandmother. "My favorite part of the show was when my mother saw that denim jacket/pleated denim skirt combination and said, 'It would make your grandmother so happy to see that her denim is still being used.'" Kores's pieces have a well-made '50s and '60s feel to them, even apart from the vintage fabrics. A tailored cherry-print jacket might have been the highlight of the show--elegant but practical, it's timeless, but fun enough to sidestep old-lady connotations.
The night was exciting, she says, but now that it's over, she's encouraged enough that she's going to start putting the apparatus in place to actually sell some of her clothes. She has to begin working on that website, and she has to order "Dort" tags. "I might try dumbing it down a little bit in order to sell," she says. She even has an idea for a New York connection--this "crazy friend-of-a-friend with a Frampton hairdo named Apollo" might want to buy her stuff. Realistically, she admits, "I'm probably just going to have to wear this stuff to the grave, when I'm 90 and finally thin." More pressing is another indie fashion show at the Fine Line on July 27.

Masters of the World: The Arrogance of China's Leadership
The West hopes that China's growing prosperity will also lead to political liberalization. But the reverse is likely to be true. The Communist Party's increasing confidence means China is set to become more of a troublemaker on the international stage, and more brutal in its crackdown on dissidents.
China's Communist Party is omnipotent. It can move mountains, as it did when it built the world's largest hydroelectric plant on the Yangtze River. It can build the world's highest railway line, as it proved when it constructed the rail link to the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.
Last Thursday, US President Barack Obama shook hands with the Tibetan Nobel Peace Prize winner in the White House. It's something his predecessors had also done, as had the French and German government leaders. Usually Beijing just responded to such meetings by uttering the usual protests. The Communist Party's complaints against US arms shipments to Taiwan have been similarly muted in the past because it was well aware that US presidents are bound by law to help Taiwan.
But it's different this time. Beijing reacted with uncommonly vocal fury to the latest Dalai Lama meeting and Washington's new Taiwan arms deal, and has threatened consequences. Companies like Boeing might be excluded from Chinese deals, and bilateral talks among military officials have been cancelled.
Self-Confidence Bordering on Arrogance
There's a new ice age between Beijing and Washington, between the two centers that many already see welded together as Chimerica, a new "G-2" global power. What has got into China?
For a start, the Chinese government is brimming with a self-confidence bordering on arrogance. The Chinese see themselves as the winners of the global economic crisis. The country generated economic growth of around 9 percent in 2009 while the Russian economy shrank by 7.9 percent, the EU by 4.2 percent and the US by 2.7 percent. China overtook Germany to become the world's leading exporter and extended its lead as the country with the largest foreign currency reserves.
The Communist Party leaders are taking delight in citing glowing forecasts for their country's economic outlook. American Nobel economics laureate Robert Fogel, for example, is predicting that in 2040, China will account for 40 percent of global economic output, compared with just 14 percent for the US. "This is what economic hegemony will look like," says Fogel.
While some in the US think they can manage China's ascent to a global power, China is dreaming of "arranging" America's decline. And in this context the West should bid farewell to its cherished notion that China's economic progress will lead to political liberalization and turn it into a responsible partner on the world stage. The reverse is likely to be the case.
Troublemaker on the World Stage
Beijing is currently playing the provocative troublemaker, both at the climate conference in Copenhagen in December and in the UN Security Council, where it is likely to stand alone in resisting a new round of tough sanctions against Iran.
Economic experts say the Chinese currency is undervalued by 25 to 40 percent and that this is artificially lowering the price of exported Chinese products. But China's leaders aren't considering revaluing the yuan. They are ignoring Obama's complaints about the exchange rate with the same nonchalance they showed when they dispatched lower-ranking officials to negotiate with him in Copenhagen.
China think it can afford to behave in this way. In Africa and Asia, Beijing's authoritarianism is regarded as a successful model worth copying.
Minorities striving for autonomy like the Uighurs and Tibetans are ruthlessly oppressed. A resurgent Han nationalism has replaced all other ideologies as the cement holding society together.
Beijing's leaders are behaving like the masters of the world, as aloof as if they could walk on water. The Dalai Lama says he prays every night for the enlightenment of the Chinese. He dreams of the rebirth of Chinese virtues like modesty and a sense of proportion. He can dream on.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

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.

Should the U.S. Ban Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)?
Three questions for biologist Lisa Weasel on GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
In 1996, U.S. farmers planted the first commercial genetically modified (GM) seeds. Some were engineered to resist herbicides so farmers could apply weed-killing herbicides without destroying their crops. Others contained genes to keep pest insects at bay. Today, about 92 percent of all soy and 80 percent of all corn grown in the U.S. is GM. These crops feed the animals that feed us, and they provide the bulk of our sweeteners and cooking oil. In fact, more than 70 percent of processed foods sold in the United States have ingredients from GM crops.
Yet GM crops remain controversial. France, Italy, Japan and several other countries have banned them because of health concerns and worries that GM crops may spread their engineered traits to other plants. Although company-funded studies and the FDA have labeled these foods as safe, a few preliminary studies suggest they are responsible for allergies, decreased fertility and super-weeds. "Genetically modified foods are a very misunderstood issue in this country," says Lisa Weasel, a biologist at Portland State University and a member of Oregon's task force on developing policy for biopharmaceutical crops. Her latest book, Food Fray: Inside the Controversy over Genetically Modified Foods (AMACOM, 2009), takes readers to the frontlines of the debate.

An MIT PHD's study states that by 2025 at the present rate of acceleration one in every 2 children will have autism from an ingredient in round up weed killer.Seralini study in France that BT corn caused cancer in rats was refuted but it was republished.and is now vindicated. America is getting sicker.It is obvious now that something is up with our countrys health. It is the rampant use of round up weed killer and corn that is classified as a legal insecticide. The bees are dying, the butterflies and now us.Wake up and ban this crap.

Monsanto sleeps very well with all the money they are making. Their motto is "no food will be grown that we don't own". They are making this a reality as fast as they can. Read Ty Bolinger's book "Cancer- Step Outside the Box. You will find out just how corrupt the whole system is. Monsanto gets their way with the FDA because the top execs at the FDA used to work for Monsanto. FDA passes Monsanto products without testing or fake tests. 3/4 of Monsanto's political campaign money goes to Republicans. The pharmaceudical (big pharma) companies are also in the tangled web. They give money to medical schools and tell them not to teach alternative methods of healing so they churn out graduates that only know treat the symptoms with big pharma poisons and don't go after the cause of the disease. If you look at the ads on tv you will see all Rx drugs you take for one thing will give you something else so that's great repeat business for doctors and big pharma. It's ALL about money. Start doing your own research on alternative healing. There are many many cures for cancer, even stage 4. They do not involve slash, poison or burn. Learn about alkalyzing your body. Disease can't live in an alkaline environment. That includes cancer. I research alternative methods and GMO issues at least 60 hours a week. I have learned how to shop at the grocery. You have to read EVERY single label and know what to look for. Yes it takes longer in the beginning but soon you will know what brands you should or shouldn't buy. Take the time to educate others. Tell your friends and even strangers you talk to in the store. It's the most important thing you can do for yourself and your family.

Once they are in the ground, it is done. The soil, water, etc is contaminated. Why we would knowingly do this to our FOOD supply is beyond me, oh wait, it is about MONEY. Monsanto (the company pushing through legislation) is a chemical company holding many of the patents for the GMO's. Their greed and selfishness is staggering. "I'm sorry" doesn't fix the problems that the GMO's will/have created.
We are paying our farmers NOT to grow food but we are perfectly willing to destroy, possibly forever, our seed supply! There is no going back.

I agree that this is going to be a huge generational problem years down the road if not acted on now. I have learned with some self awareness and study I can be an educated consumer for my family and will continue to do so, I must say it is very empowering :)

Absolutely, they should be banned.....the FDA's "seal of approval" is no comfort to me. Look around, they are obviously NOT doing their job, and need to be held accountable. This is not about politics people; there happen to be people in all political parties in both ditches. We need to look at the facts, and at the raw, unaltered truth in every issue, not just this one. I'm not for depriving people in third world countries that desperately need better roads and better, more modern means of getting their produce to market so that they can provide for their families. We need to feed the world, not contaminate it!

If we trust studies on rats and mice concerning prescription meds, then why not observe the data on GM foods and the rats and mice. It 's sad that so many people depend on the government to protect us and they betray us over and over again b/c of the love of money. These animals are becoming infertile by the 3rd and 4th generation and many of the animals are coming out of their mothers womb mentally retarded. (excuse my political incorrectness) Do you think I want my children or grandchildren coming out that way. Hell no.We are affecting future generations by our actions. Grow your own food. Raise your own livestock and be sure of what you are eating. Even companies that produce organic goods don't always have the money to test their ingredients. They just have to rely on what their supplier tells them in good faith. Therefore, they can not always guarantee what we are eating. We each need to learn to sustain ourselves to some extent so we can rely less on mega producers.

Oklahoma City Thunder notebook: Kevin Durant among All-Star vote leaders
In the initial returns of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game balloting, Thunder forward and three-time scoring champ Kevin Durant is the leading vote-getter among Western Conference frontcourt players.
Durant (605,985 votes) leads Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (434,168) and former Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers (307,855) at his position.
The Miami Heat's LeBron James is the leading overall vote-getter (641,348) and is followed by Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (639,419) and Durant.
West starters currently would be Bryant and Clippers point guard Chris Paul (353,603) at the guards, plus Durant, Howard and Griffin in the frontcourt. The center position was eliminated in this year's balloting and replaced by a third frontcourt player due to the lack of center candidates.
Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (143,437) stands fifth in West guard balloting behind the Houston Rockets backcourt of Jeremy Lin (298,319) and James Harden (196,108). OKC forward Serge Ibaka (68,285) is ninth in frontcourt balloting.
Starting for the East would be Miami guard Dwyane Wade (430,925) and Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo (382,613), plus James, New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (573,112) and Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett (218,246).
Balloting concludes Jan. 14 and starters will be announced Jan. 17. The 62nd NBA All-Star Game will be held Feb. 17, 2013, at 7 p.m. at Toyota Center in Houston.
Thunder sixth man Kevin Martin took the high road when asked about playing against the Houston Rockets, his former team, on Nov. 28. He's taking a longer high road for Friday's 7 p.m. game against his other previous team, the Sacramento Kings (7-14).
Martin played 2 1/2 seasons for Houston (2010-12) before being traded to the Thunder on Oct. 27 and categorized his first meeting against the Rockets as just another game.
As for facing Sacramento, where Martin spent his first 5 1/2 seasons in the league (2004-10)? "That's been 'another game' for a long time," a smiling Martin said after Thursday's practice.
The 29-year-old Martin played against the Kings seven times with the Rockets, averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists in 34.0 minutes.
Martin said he will be thinking about today in OKC rather than yesteryear in Sacramento. "Just focus on the task at hand," Martin said. "Realize the situation we're in right now and know we've got bigger goals at the end of the year."
The Thunder owns the league's best record at 18-4 record and is riding a nine-game winning streak. Both marks tied franchise records since the team's 2008 arrival in OKC.
In an ESPN.com SportsNation poll, the Thunder owns a commanding lead as the NBA's top-ranked team among online voters.
As of Thursday, the poll's Top 10 was: 1. Thunder; 2. New York Knicks; 3. San Antonio Spurs; 4. Miami Heat; 5. Memphis Grizzlies; 6. Los Angeles Clippers; 7. Atlanta Hawks; 8. Brooklyn Nets; 9. Chicago Bulls; 10. Boston Celtics.
OKC had received 2,024 first-place votes, which easily outdistanced the Spurs (818), Heat (778) and Knicks (683).
The Thunder dominated the Hornets the previous two meetings this season, winning by an average of 18 points. What was different the third time around in which OKC scrapped out a 92-88 victory on Wednesday night?
"They did a good job on their pick-and-roll coverage," Thunder coach Scott Brooks explained. "They put two guys on the basketball and made us make a quick decision and we missed some shots, we missed some layups, we missed some catches around the basket. They're going to be a good team. They're a young team that continues to get better as the season goes along."
Sacramento power forward DeMarcus Cousins served a one-game suspension for striking Dallas guard O.J. Mayo in the groin area last Monday night.
Cousins (17.2 points; 9.9 rebounds; 1.4 steals) sat out of the Kings' 98-85 loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday night, but will play against the Thunder on Friday.
Cousins claimed striking Mayo was unintentional, but Mayo thought otherwise and said: "That guy has some mental issues, man. He's a talented player. He has an opportunity to be the face of that organization, but I don't think he wants it. ... He's immature, man. Big maturity problem. Hopefully, he'll grow up out of it and become great. He definitely has the talent to."

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Paige Indio Zip in Ramone Destructed
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was spotted arriving into Miami, Florida. The model wore a pair of the Paige Indio Zip in Ramone Destructed with a Saint Laurent jacket and some Gianvito Rossi sandals.
I find the Ramone Destructed wash to be one that looks better and better as more wear starts to show. There's something about the way the distressing looks against the washed black wash that adds this edge to them, it feels very unique. How many of you love these jeans? You can click here to purchase Paige from SHOPBOP.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Paige Denim Autumn/Winter 2015
Here is the new Autumn/Winter 2015 Paige campaign featuring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The new campaign is just as amazing as you'd expect between the brand and the model. There is a natural cohesion between the two, that I find, just makes this campaign feel magical.
Featured in the campaign are updated pieces for the new season, like a lined leather jacket, flares and leather skirts. But the brand didn't stop at classic smart washes, like with every season they added fun styles that will make heads turn. Expect to see embellished pairs along with painted styles that will go perfectly with the knits. Check out the images below and click here to purchase the new collection now from the Paige website.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in AG Ankle Leggings in 17 Years Western Studded
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was spotted on her way out of her hotel in London. The model wore her AG Ankle Leggings in 17 Years Western Studded with a Chloe shirt and a pair of Adidas Gazelle sneakers. She then finished her look off with a Balenciaga tote.
Rosie really never has an off day when it comes to her style. Even when she wears sneakers, like she does here, she always looks put together in a non-contrived way. There is always a natural sense in the way she dresses that is unique to her. You can click here to purchase AG from SHOPBOP.
Jason Statham and Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley in Paige Jeans
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were spotted making their way through LAX Airport to catch a flight out. The couple opted to both wear Paige for their flights. Jason kept it laid back with a pair of the Baxter Joggers in Black Gravel and Rosie kept to her signature style with a pair of the Verdugo Ultra Skinny in Black Shadow.
I love the comfort of these joggers and wear them quite a bit on the colder days when I am just looking for something easy, but not too dressed down. How many of you guys have a pair of these joggers and love them? You can click here to purchase the Baxter joggers and the Verdugos both from the Paige website.

My brother and sister and I
trying to make some sense of this
it's just a fleeting thought though
for there is nothing in our wondering
night in night out love begins and love ends
the red sun rises
sadness is still in point
my royal name is Cyrus the selfish
and yours Panic in the streets of London
listen when the baby calls your name
and don't act as if you didn't know...

Hi there, I'm Helen! I am a 9-5 working girl who likes to leave the stresses back at work and find great deals on treatments that can help me relax. I love to travel, see my friends, watch movies, read books, exercise and shop for bargains.
I had the Deep Tissue Ayurvedic Full Body Massage and Ayurvedic Face Lift Massage and this has to be one of the best massages I've ever had. I felt really relaxed and that the treatment really made a difference as I've had a lot of trouble lately with pain in my neck and shoulders. I will definitely be going back.
Something I will mention though is that I was lying there for a period of time with my chest exposed. The therapist obviously wasn't bothered about this and neither was I but if you are uncomfortable with this kind of exposure, it may be worth a mention before the treatment begins.
I really enjoyed my experience at Bliss. I wanted the contour wrap just before my work's Christmas party and the indian head massage just to relax ahead of a busy Christmas weekend, both were great and I lost 9 inches from the wrap which I was very pleased with despite being a little cynical about how much I would lose from it. Staff were lovely too. Will definitely go back to this salon even if it was for a different treatment.

"It Was the Mark of Cain":
Agatha Christie and the
Murder of the Mystery
Robin Woods
When Agatha Christie killed Hercule Poirot, both she and the detective novel were in their prime. But even in the 1940s, when she wrote Curtain, Christie portrayed, and in a sense foresaw, a new kind of crime that would lie beyond the detective's control. That new crime was motiveless murder. By the mid1970s, when Curtain was finally published (along with Miss Marple's less sensational last case, Sleeping Murder), motiveless murder was fast becoming a new and intense focus of the public's fear of crime. And a new genre had appeared: the true-crime novel, which was largely concerned with random murder and replaced the detective novel on the cutting edge of popular crime literature. Curtain looks ahead to this genre by presenting as its villain a psychopath who kills without any apparent reason. Poirot defeats this killer and restores order, as he does in so many detective stories. But he does so only at the cost of his own life and that of the detective figure himself, thus changing the terms of the murder mystery and leaving the field to a new kind of crime fighter and crime writer.
In order to understand the importance of Curtain and the bridge it builds to the new nonfiction genre, we must first place the detective story in context not only with the true-crime story that follows it but also with the early criminal biography that precedes it. The criminal biography—comprised largely of gallows broadsheets, The Newgate Calendar, and Newgate novels—flourished in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when crime and punishment were particularly vexed subjects and the public spectacle of execution demonstrated England's deterrent approach to law enforcement. As has been often noted, the biography presented crime in an ambiguous and discomforting manner. First, it often showed criminal life as romantic (especially when it concerned such crowd-pleasers as Jack Sheppard or Dick Turpin—the latter most lately seen in

West Nile Virus Season Has ArrivedThis cold and rainy weather may be reminiscent of autumn, but it is time to think about mosquitoes. It is the time of year when most cases of West Nile Virus are reported. The Minnesota Department of Health says West Nile was found in four Minnesotans who donated blood over the summer.
Mosquito Season In Minnesota: The Dos And Don'ts For Staying Bite-FreeEvery Minnesotan has their own tips and tricks to keep mosquitoes away, but it's time to dispel a few ugly myths that just won't seem to die.
Good Questions: Mosquito Food, Uptown & Hat TricksWade from Brainerd is already tired of mosquitoes this summer, but he still wants to know: What do mosquitoes eat? According to the American Mosquito Control Association, only females feed on blood because they require the protein to produce eggs.
Mosquitoes In Ramsey County Test Positive For West NileWest Nile virus is back, and officials are urging Minnesotans to avoid mosquito bites, dump out standing water and report dead birds.
Good Question: Why Do Mosquito Bites Itch?It's a sign of summer -- when Minnesota's unofficial state bird takes over our barbeques and baseball games. The mosquito can do quite a number on our skin. So why do mosquito bites itch? Good Question.

I just finished changing the timing belt and replacing the head gaskets and cam shaft seals. The timing mark vacilates from 10 to 12 degrees and used to stay steady on 11 like it should. There is a noise like a vacuum leak, 'tick tick tick,' but I can't find it, checked all air lines and sprayed carburetor cleaner on all hose connections and no change in engine idle.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A local official with knowledge of the situation says a man detained at the Kansas City airport after suspicious items were found in his carry-on luggage had worked as a New York City police officer more than a decade ago.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to share the details to the media. The incident happened Sunday morning on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Officials weren't speculating on a possible motive. The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that the suspicious items tested negative for explosive materials.
The part of the terminal that was closed was reopened several hours later. Passengers at the busy airport had been rerouted through one security checkpoint, creating long lines.

The Boondocks
Season 4
Good Times
These are not "good times" for Granddad. He owes millions of dollars on his house to Eddie Wuncler (son of Ed Wuncler) who has some unique ideas of how Granddad can pay him back. And with Eddie appearing more like a gangster than a businessman, times are about to get worse.
Breaking Grandad
It may not be meth, but the explosive hair product the Freemans are selling is just as dangerous. And even more lethal may be the black market of the hair-care industry run by Boss Willona.
Freedom Ride or Die
Civil Rights pioneers: Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X... Robert Freeman? A young reluctant Granddad is held as an unwilling freedom rider by Revered Sturdy Harris, on a trip through the racist South. Despite his attempts to "turn the bus around" Granddad is led into dangerous territory. This isn't Woodcrest anymore. Dennis Haysbert guest stars as Reverend Sturdy Harris.
Grandad Dates a Kardashian
Granddad co-stars on a reality show when he begins dating Kardashia, a newly discovered Kardashian sister. While Riley and Granddad love all of the swag they're receiving, Huey is more dubious of this new Kardashian's intentions. Can the Freemans keep up with Kardashia?

Two journal editorials touching on different health care reform issues caught our eye.
Harold DeMonaco, MS, one of our story reviewers on HealthNewsReview.org, thought that an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine by editor Jeffrey Drazen, MD, deserves some news attention. DeMonaco wrote me:
"Over the past five years or so, there has been a gradual increase in the registration of clinical trials into a single database. Although it would be nice to believe that the pharmaceutical industry has embraced the concept of transparency, it is more likely that the FDA Amendments Act of 2007 forced their hand. Without registration of the clinical trial and reporting of the results, the FDA would not consider the data for submission for a New Drug Application.
As Dr. Drazen notes, there are some holes in the existing legislation. Not all studies need be registered. A newly introduced bill into the US House of Representatives would close the loopholes and provide 'real transparency.' There are always two sides to every story and the pharmaceutical industry has legitimate proprietary concerns that no doubt will be voiced loudly to members of the House and to the media. It seems to me that this issue represents a wonderful opportunity for the media to inform and educate the public on this important piece of legislation for both sides on the issue."
And in the JAMA Forum, David Cutler, PhD, of Harvard and the Institute of Medicine suggests that journalists and the public pay more attention to "the magic asterisk" in health policy discussions.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
In regards to the "magic asterisk" in health policy discussions, what is frustrating is this Administration cannot explain all of this stuff to voters in a readily understandable way.

BELGIUM: Food industry signs RSPO palm oil pledge
By Michelle Russell | 3 February 2012
All palm oil present in food products destined for the Belgian market has to be sustainable by 2015, according to a new industry pledge.
Belgian food and oil manufacturers have formed The Belgian Alliance for Sustainable Palm Oil and produced a charter to promote the use of certified sustainable palm oil in the country.
The charter to use only palm oil certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil was signed by trade bodies including potato industry association Belgapom and confectionery and biscuit association Choprabisco. Cargill and Fuji Oil also signed the charter.
According to the new charter, the palm oil being traded will confirm to one of the three RSPO-approved trading systems: segregation, mass balance or book & claim.
"Due to the great economic but also nutritional importance of this raw material, the alliance would like to collaborate with the local and international signers of the RSPO," the charter says. "This international round table gathers not only NGOs like World Wildlife Fund, Oxfam International, and several private organisations, but also the palm oil industry, the processors and the producers of foods, the distribution sector and the investors.
"Together they have determined the principles and conditions for the production of palm oil, while considering the population, the planet and the profit."

Barrett is the most evolved concept for a four year honors residential college in the country with a presence on four distinct ASU campuses. Intentionally designed and conceived as a residential college, Barrett students benefit from new and world-class amenities on all four campuses. Learning from and having direct access to administrators, faculty, staff and fellow honors students in a residential college environment maximizes student participation in the classroom through small signature seminar classes, and outside the classroom as students capitalize on all of the co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities available to them in Barrett and across ASU. Off-campus students also enjoy the amenities of the Barrett residential college while on campus so we encourage all students to visit their home away from home. To learn more about the honors student experience on each campus please see the tabs below.
