Monday Scramble: Ensemble Cast Leads to Masters Blockbuster
A 42-regular green jacket wasn't the only thing Jordan Spieth walked away with Sunday.
He also got a few pages in the Masters record books, the respect and admiration of his more seasoned peers, a lofty world ranking and a new title: American Star.
Tiger Woods may be the face of golf, but Rory McIlroy and the apple-cheeked Texan are the present and future. This was a Masters win that hinted at so much more.
In this week's edition of the Monday Scramble, we break down Spieth's brilliance at Augusta, Tiger's much-anticipated return, Phil's inspired run and everything else from the year's first major.

1 Recommendation
Three's recommendation
I'm not sure why, maybe you can make something up and tell me, ok, lets do that.
My Collections:
Here you go, this boot/shoe actually has a design from long long ago by the Na Na co. in England. The shoe was pointy and had these similar buckles (almost exact). Mine were flat and the buckles ran up to the ankle. My girlfriend's ran all the way to the knee. Now that is a memory brought on by your recommendation.

Watch the replay of our IBM Livestream Event on May 18th
Martha Mealy 120000F9TQ email@example.com | | Tags:  sametime connections lotuslive for-endusers for-it for-exec | 0 Comments | 1,910 Visits
On May 18th at 12pm ET, we live-streamed a special program from New York City containing exciting news around the IBM social collaboration capabilities. This special event complemented our activities at DNUG in Bonn, Germany with DNUG and the IBM Exceptional Web Experience Conference in Orlando, Florida.
Alistair Rennie, Jeff Schick, and Caleb Barlow shared some very good customer stories such as Reliance Insurance, the US Open, and the City of Fort Worth. They also highlighted just some of the new capabilities in IBM Connections, Sametime, and LotusLive. Ted Stanton finished off the hour with a wonderfully rich demo showing off some of these new capabilities. Nothing helps more to understand these new features than to see them in action. I loved the Blackberry and iPad elements myself.

I also use those same PD-A530 pedals on my road bike, which is my commuter. But yeah I also only have SPD shoes, don't really care for the non-walkability of road bike shoes.
I love the A530's because I can ride 15 miles to work with bike shoes, then hop on it during lunch break to go down the street or something with my office shoes.

Picked up this 07 trek pilot 2.1 off craigslist a couple days ago for cheap. I'm a mtn biker but thought it would be nice to have a road bike for when I don't feel like or can't hit the trails. It has had some parts swapped out over the years and mostly not for the better but should be fine for me. Pedals will have to go.
Coaching services. Expensive, but I bet it's going to be the best thing I ever bought in terms of getting faster.
Also picked up a Cyclops Super Magneto training kit (trainer, pad, climbing blocks) at a stellar price. I had thought magnetic trainers were dead but I actually liked it more than the fluid in a side by side test.
Pedals and shoes...after 49 years of platforms I am going to try clipin pedals.

Perhaps sensing they were losing the public perception battle, House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday agreed to extend the payroll tax cut for another 10 months without getting offsetting reductions elsewhere in the budget. The action is a victory for President Obama, who opposed the GOP's attempts to force pay cuts for federal workers and require them to contribute more to their pensions.
A performance audit for the Cincinnati Service Department
could save the city $3.7 million. The audit claims $2 million could be
saved every year if the city privately contracted solid waste collection
and street sweeping. An additional $1.7 million could be saved if the
city reduced overtime, sick leave and staffing levels. Along with other recommended savings measures, the changes could
amount to 7.9 percent of Cincinnati's budget.

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan weighed in on the controversy over replacement National Football League referees in a Tuesday town hall-style meeting in Cincinnati, comparing the Obama administration to the substitute officials who cost his home-state Green Bay Packers a victory with their botched call Monday night.
"Give me a break. It is time to get the real refs," Ryan said.
"And you know what, it reminds me of President Obama and the economy — if you can't get it right, it's time to get out. I half think that these refs work part time for the Obama administration in the budget office."
Ryan was referencing a play that should have been called an interception for the Packers but instead allowed the Seattle Seahawks to score a game-winning touchdown on Monday Night Foodball. Replacement referees — some of whom may have been fired by the Lingerie Football League for incompetence — are filling in for unionized officials who are locked out.
The vice presidential candidate spoke inside a Byer Steel warehouse surrounded by piles of I-beams and rebar. A self-proclaimed Southern gospel rock band played before the event, occasionally pausing to talk up GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's conservative credentials.
Much of Ryan's prepared speech, as well as questions from participants in the town hall, focused on the economy, the deficit and the need for changes to entitlement programs.
Asked by an audience member how he would limit government and eliminate programs, Ryan said he and Romney would spur economic growth by lessening the tax burdens on small businesses, cut discretionary spending on government agencies and overhaul entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Outside before the rally, protesters called for Ryan — whose House-passed budget made deeps cuts to many welfare and safety-net programs — to have more compassion for the poor.
Meanwhile an airplane sponsored by MoveOn.org carried a banner reading, "Romney: Believe in 55% of America?" referencing comments revealed in a recent video where Romney claimed 47 percent of Americans didn't pay any income tax and viewed themselves as victims reliant on government so it wasn't his job to worry about their votes.
"We're here with several messages, including the immorality of the Ryan budget and how it will impact the vast majority of Americans negatively," said David Little with the liberal advocacy group ProgressOhio. "When a budget protects those with the most and negatively impacts those with the least, I would suggest that is immoral."
Bentley Davis with the Alliance for Retired Americans said she was concerned about what Romney and Ryan's plans for Medicare and Social Security would do to retirement security.
Ryan had proposed to keep Medicare the same for anybody already 55 and over, but give younger Americans the choice to get money to spend toward private insurance or stay in a Medicare-like program.
Inside the warehouse was a digital sign that ticked up the national debt, which was at $16 trillion and rising.
"Here is what our government, our Congressional Budget Office, is telling us our debt is in the future if we stay on the path that President Obama has kept us on, has put us on … the debt goes as high as two and a half times the size of our economy by the time my three kids are my age," Ryan said.
The Obama campaign fired back in an email response, saying Ryan used misleading rhetoric to hide his own record and Republican plans to raise taxes on the middle class to fund tax cuts for wealthier Americans.
"The Romney-Ryan ticket has plenty of questions to answer about a failed record on manufacturing and job creation and their support for policies that will devastate middle class families by raising their taxes and shipping jobs overseas," Obama for America – Ohio Press Secretary Jessica Kershaw wrote.
"These policies would take the growing manufacturing industry backward, not forward."
For some in the audience, the economy was also on the forefront.
Steve Teal, 56, of West Chester, said he doesn't like the direction the country is going in.
"Just get the country back to work," Teal said. "I don't trust him (Obama). He doesn't stand up for America. He doesn't stand up for Americans."
CityBeat writer Stefane Kremer contributed to this report.
Ryan went from Cincinnati to an event with Romney in Dayton later on Tuesday.

A study by Chicago University's Booth Business School found that the use of social media might be more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol. A team used BlackBerrys to gauge the willpower of 205 people between the ages of 18 and 85 in and around the German city of Würtzburg. The researchers say sex and sleep still appear to be stronger urges, but tweeting and checking email are more irresistible to some people than smoking or drinking.
The Cincinnati Enquirer
gave some insight into what happened with Williams and the UC Board of
Trustees the day before Williams' resignation. Apparently, there was no
sign of conflict in the correspondence and emails revealed under the
Ohio Open Records Act, but anonymous sources told The Enquirer that the relationship between Williams and the UC Board of Trustees was breaking down prior to Williams' resignation. The Enquirer
could not get information from Margaret Buchanan, the publisher and president
of the newspaper that is also on the UC Board of Trustees; instead,
Buchanan referred reporters to Francis Barrett, another trustee.
nonprofit group says Mitt Romney's health care proposals are more

under Obamacare.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio said Josh Mandel, state treasurer and the Republican candidate for this year's senate race, is only doing as well as he is in polling due to $20 million in pro-Mandel spending coming from out-of-state sources. But the money doesn't seem to be helping much; Mandel is currently down by 7.5 points in aggregate polling.

O'l girl Leslie Ghiz is back on local government's payroll after being hired by Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, which will allow her to run in a judicial race as a badass crime-fighting prosecutor (The Enquirer's words, not mine). Deters, of course, is the former chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party and Ghiz is the former City Council woman who was voted out last fall and then decided to move out of Cincinnati.
Tim Burke, head of the Hamilton County Democratic Party called the move "political as hell," while Ghiz had Deters' spokeswoman explain how Deters' office is still allowed to hire one more lawyer if it wants to.
Ghiz will earn a $55,000 salary, down from $60,000 she made in the part-time position of City Councilperson.

A mentally disabled South Carolina man who has been on death row for 30 years could soon be out of prison for a bond hearing. Edward Lee Elmore's sentence has already been overturned three times and reduced from the death sentence to life in prison. From The Washington Post:
As other death row inmates were exonerated because of new DNA testing technology, Elmore's attorneys asked a judge in 2000 to overturn his convictions because a blond hair found on Edwards after her death did not match her or Elmore.
Elmore's lawyers thought the blond hair may have belonged to Edwards' next-door neighbor and they asked a judge to exhume the man's body to test his DNA, but a judge denied the request.
It wasn't until 2010 that Elmore began to see his fate turn around. A South Carolina judge ruled he was mentally unfit and could not be executed, per a 2002 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.
State prosecutors didn't oppose a judge's decision to sentence him to life in prison, and Elmore was, after 28 years, moved from the state's death row to another maximum-security prison.

A local developer has offered to build a new jail adjacent to the Justice Center, a cost of $65 million, in return for the county leasing it for 30 years at $10 million a year, according to The Enquirer. The developer, Rob Smyjunas, said the offer isn't about making a profit, just making the county better for his and other families.
Mayor Mallory didn't answer The Enquirer's questions about the potential for a Council majority to block the property tax increase in City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget.

A video of middle school kids in upstate New York bullying a 68-year-old bus monitor has drawn international media attention. The woman says the kids are all pretty much normal and are OK to deal with one-on-one.
The bullying continues unabated for about 10 minutes in the video, reducing Klein to tears as a giggling student jabs her arm with a book. Recorded by a student Monday with a cell phone camera, the brazen example of bullying went viral and spurred international outrage.
A population of chinstrap penguins in Antarctica has declined by 36 percent due to melting sea ice.
"Actually, in the '90s it was thought that the climate change would favor the chinstrap penguin, because this species prefers sea waters without ice, unlike the Adelie penguin, which prefers the ice pack," study researcher Andres Barbosa told LiveScience. He added that at the time, chinstraps, named for the thin black facial line from cheek to cheek, seemed to increase in numbers, with some new colonies being established. The sea-ice decline in the winter, however, has become so big that it is now impacting krill populations, said Barbosa, of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

Gov. John Kasich has something to say to anyone waiting on federal funding to help fix their bridges (and while we're at it, any local governments who need funding for something other than food and water): Forget about it. During an interview with Enquirer editors and reporters yesterday,* Kasich said tolls are the best means for funding a new Brent Spence Bridge.
"I do not believe that a white charger is going to come galloping (from Washington) into Cincinnati with $2 billion in the saddlebags," Kasich said. "So if that isn't going to happen and all we do is delay, delay, delay and we push this thing out until 2036 ... holy cow!"
* CityBeat had a similar meeting scheduled but we forgot about it and weren't here at the time — sorry Kasich, we'll get ya next time!
Things are about to get weird in a Clermont County courtroom if David Krikorian and Chris Finney get their wish — to have Jean Schmidt on the witness stand on May 17. Finney, the attorney for Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), has been representing Krikorian, a former Democratic and independent candidate who unsuccessfully ran against Schmidt for Ohio's 2nd congressional district seat, has served Schmidt with a subpoena as part of Krikorian's lawsuit claiming a Schmidt lawsuit against Krikorian was frivolous.

British Prime Minister David Cameron only recently learned what LOL means in text-speak. The explanation occurred during witness testimony from Rebekah Brooks, the former head of Rupert Murdoch's the now-defunct News of the World. Brooks was forced to resign last year amid a phone-hacking scandal.
"He would sign them off 'DC' in the main," Brooks said, referring to Cameron's initials. "Occasionally he would sign them off 'LOL' — 'lots of love' — until I told him it meant 'laugh out loud,' and then he didn't sign them off [that way] anymore."
It was certainly an LOL moment during Brooks' testimony in a London courtroom Friday as part of a judicial inquiry into media ethics. But the disclosure also underscored the warm personal ties between the prime minister and Brooks, the former head of media baron Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers who was forced to resign in disgrace last summer.

Major League Baseball phenom Bryce Harper is in town for a three-game series with his Washington Nationals. The 19-year-old was the No. 1 overall pick in 2010 and is the first superstar-caliber player to make it to the big leagues this quickly prompting comparisons to Ken Griffey, Jr. at that age. Here's the local spin about on freak outfielder coming to town for a weekend series against the Reds.
Alex Triantafilou, chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, sent the email Tuesday.
Husted noted that 40,000 poll workers are needed across Ohio. "We can debate the efficacy of the law and voting procedures until we are blue in the face, but the truth is that those 40,000 individuals can have more of an impact on the ultimate success of our elections than the Secretary of State, lawmakers and judges combined," he wrote.
When informed about the email, the head of Hamilton County's Democratic Party said more poll workers always are needed. But he is worried those spurred to apply because of Husted's email will do so due to the wrong motivation and potentially could cause problems at the polls.
"Many of our poll workers serve year after year in multiple elections," said Tim Burke, Hamilton County Democratic Party chairman. "Just because this November is a presidential election doesn't mean that our trained and experienced workers should be pushed aside by those folks, on either side, who want to be poll workers in the presidential, but not in other elections as well. That is a conversation I have had on a number of occasions with the election protection leaders on the Democratic side."
Burke added, "The role of poll workers should be to assist voters in voting correctly, and better than 99 percent of the time, that is what the poll workers — be they Democrats or Republicans — properly do. I am hesitant to bring in poll workers who think their role is to be election police who want to spend Election Day ferreting out fraud and subjecting qualified voters to cross examinations."
In Husted's email, the Secretary of State also acknowledged the partisan battle over the GOP-backed push for voters to show a photo I.D. at polls.
"Unfortunately, the fact that there is 'room for improvement' seems to be the only common ground we have been able to find when it comes to elections reform," Husted wrote. "The closer we get to Election Day, the more heated the rhetoric on both sides will become. One side believes the law is too restrictive and that legal voters are being suppressed. The other side says the system is vulnerable to fraud because there aren't enough checks to ensure only eligible voters are casting ballots."
It should be noted that no study has ever found evidence of widespread voter fraud.
In 2007, a five-year review conducted by the U.S. Justice Department and ordered by President George W. Bush found that just 120 people had been charged and 86 convicted as of 2006 — a miniscule amount when compared to the number of eligible voters in the United States.
Back then, The New York Times wrote, "A federal panel, the Election Assistance Commission, reported last year that the pervasiveness of fraud was debatable. That conclusion played down findings of the consultants who said there was little evidence of it across the country, according to a review of the original report by The New York Times that was reported on Wednesday."
The Times added, "Mistakes and lapses in enforcing voting and registration rules routinely occur in elections, allowing thousands of ineligible voters to go to the polls. But the federal cases provide little evidence of widespread, organized fraud, prosecutors and election law experts said."
The Republican Party also tried to raise allegations of voter registration fraud during the 2008 presidential election, when it began looking like John McCain would lose. When pressed in November 2008, a top official with the McCain- Palin "Honest and Open Election Committee" couldn't cite a single instance in which problems with fake voter registrations resulted in phony votes being cast.
At Husted's urging, Republican
state lawmakers recently acted to repeal portions of House Bill No. 194. Facing
a referendum on the law in November that could've increased Democratic voter
turnout, the repeal restores some opportunities for early voting and allows
poll workers to guide voters to the correct precinct.
In Hamilton County, Democrats who want to be poll workers should call 513-632-7041; Republicans should call 513-632-7042.
Here is Husted's text in its entirety:

The current property tax rate for schools in Ridgefield — $2.11 per $1,000 of assessed valuation — is the lowest in Clark County. By comparison, it's less than one-third the comparable rate in the Camas district and less than one-half the comparable rate in the Vancouver district. Even if Ridgefield's upcoming school bond issue passes, the district's property tax rate still will rank last among school districts that are wholly contained in Clark County.
School supporters in Ridgefield are eager to improve an already-good district, as reflected in the $47 million bond issue that voters will decide on Feb. 14. (Ballots will be mailed on Wednesday).
The Columbian recommends a "yes" vote on this bond issue because Ridgefield has some catching up to do with the rest of the county when it comes to public funding of schools. Also, the need is strong to improve and expand facilities in Ridgefield. A supermajority approval of 60 percent plus one is required, as this is a bond issue and not a levy election.
School bond issues have a less-than-glowing track record in Ridgefield. The most recent — for $85 million in 2008 — fell short of supermajority approval, although the 54 percent approval four years ago signals a general support for schools in the community. This bond issue is different. It's 44 percent smaller, and instead of offering a new high school, this ballot measure seeks widespread improvements and additions to classrooms, traffic and parking facilities and sports areas, plus other upgrades at every grade level. Two dozen classrooms will be added, and six deteriorating portable classrooms will be removed.
A good example of the myriad crowded conditions throughout the Ridgefield school district is seen at Union Ridge Elementary School, which serves four lunch periods in a gym while physical education classes are conducted on the other side of a curtain in the gym.
The Columbian generally opposes tax increases during economic downturns, but in Ridgefield the crowded schools have become unacceptable. Furthermore, the blame for Ridgefield's difficulties should be directed at a state government that continually refuses to accept its constitutional mandate to fully fund education.
For these reasons, we recommend Ridgefield voters approve the Feb. 14 school bond issue.
Elsewhere in Clark County
Five levy renewals in four other local school districts are also appearing on Feb. 14 ballots. Each requires 50 percent plus one approval.
The Columbian reluctantly supports the Evergreen school district's request to renew its expiring levy. We're troubled that the ballot measure shows increases in the levy rate from $4.19 in 2013 to $4.42 in 2014, and to $4.54 in 2015, then back to $4.51 in 2016. Of the five levy elections in Clark County on Feb. 14, this is the only one that shows such increases. We wish it were not so. Taxpayers are weary of inch-by-inch intrusions by public entities. But the Evergreen district has cut its budget by $26 million in the past four years, and failing to renew the levy would result in additional cuts of $40 million per year. Evergreen officials tell us the increase is to cover about half of projected increases due to inflation.
The other four levy renewal elections show no increases in levy rates. There are two ballot measures in the Hockinson district and one each in the Woodland and Green Mountain districts.
The Columbian recommends "yes" votes in each district.

They wanted him to appoint left wingers. He hasn't.
So what to make of this?
WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama, rejecting liberals' criticism of his emerging cabinet, today strongly defended his decision to choose more experienced, centrist aides for his inner circle, arguing that the nation needs sure hands in a time of turmoil — and that it's his job to bring the change he promised voters.
At a press conference to introduce his economic advisory board, Obama said it would send the wrong message to the nation if he stocked his cabinet with newcomers, especially given the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the deepening economic crisis. Veterans, he said, bring the wisdom to help him shape his agenda and the know-how to execute it.
"What we are going to do is combine experience with fresh thinking," he said in his most detailed comments on the issue. "But I understand where the vision for change comes from. First and foremost, it comes from me. That's my job — to provide a vision in terms of where we are going, and to make sure then that my team is implementing."
Honestly, if Obama is angering liberal critics now, this probably bodes well for his administration and the promise of bringing unity to Washington. Because, like he says, he's leading the call for change, but in order to do that he has to have people who know Washington in order to do that. And if he were to take the first term Clinton model and start appointing people nobody knows, those folks would face institutional barriers that would prove counterproductive. Yes, there's a risk that these appointees won't be able to bring about change, but I think it's much more likely that insiders will be able to user their existing networks to signal to everybody that change is coming.
In other words, you can't turn this town upside down right off the bat, and if liberals don't get that then they don't get how Washington works.

"Introducing Patagonia" Patagonia by Africancrab
Patagonia Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 73 photos
Patagonia is a small community town located between the Santa Rita Mountains and the Coronado National Forest, a little over twelve miles from Sonoita where I lived and just about twenty miles north of the United States/ Mexico border. The small town of Patagonia is situated at a higher altitude than Tucson but lower than Sonoita: it is graced with rolling hills of grass and many cottonwood trees and is home to the largest man made lake in the south west of Arizona - Patagonia Lake. During the fall in greeting autumn, Patagonia - the mountain empire, puts together an annual celebration of what is referred to as an intimate affair of Music, art and crafts with tons of entertainment, art and food.
For the past 18 years, this community affair has earned a reputation for being one of the best small town celebrations. The Patagonia Park is about an hours drive from Tucson, 12 miles from Sonoita and three hours from Phoenix.
It was a lazy summer day with nothing much to do, no I take that back. There was plenty to do but I decided I did not want to do anything but leave the house and go to an unfamiliar setting (the crab in me was restless). The sun was high but not hot the wind blew briskly sending a cool wave through the trees. I decided to leave the house and took Desire for a ride to Patagonia Lake. Driving from Sonoita the ride was relaxing as we went through change in scenery from dry grass to green cottonwood trees in Patagonia town and beyond, then a steep drop almost a thousand feet and back up. Beautiful landscape and blue skies in the summer give such a serene feeling. We stopped at least two times along the way to admire the scenes and pick rocks - my daughter loves rocks, she picks them in the hope that they are mineral rocks.
The Lake is popular for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, camping, skiing, picnics, hiking and boating. At two and a half miles long and 250 surface acres: Patagonia lake is in southern Arizona and is one of the largest man-made lakes in Arizona created by damming the Sonoita creek. This lake attracts a multitude of visitors during the summer months making it the busiest time of the year at the lake, for this reason alone, water skiing and jet skiing are prohibited on weekends and holidays from May 1 through September 31st.
For those who love water sports or activities, the Marina is available behind the Sonoita creek. The marina was originally closed but recently reopened under new management now serving the multitude of visitors who come to the lake yearly. The marina provides boat rentals including boats, rowboats, canoes, and peddle and for the fisherman a, fishing licenses, baits and boating gear. Desire and I did not do any of that stuff, as we were not prepared for it. It was one of those times when I just got up and decided we would take a road trip and ended up at the lake. Food around the Marina is not allowed; I cannot recall the reason behind it, so before you set off to the Patagonia Lake, please call and get some definitive information especially regarding food.
Desire and I spent a little over 3 hours at the lake, talking a tour of the gift shop, the bridge and surrounding areas by the lake. People had built camps around the lake; families with children took advantage of the cool lake waters swimming in shallow waters. I intentionally did not carry a swim suit for us because I was not sure what the lake is like and if we could swim in it at all. Desire did not seem to mind much either.

Juan OrlandoNicaraguaAgricultureFunding via PAC

He has his own work entity where he has an inventory of livestock. This is also part of his income. Melquisdec and his wife have two minor children who attend elementary school.
With great sacrifice and loans, he has been fulfilling his intentions of being a merchant and a cattle dealer. This time he is requesting a loan to plant two 'manzanas' [a manzana is a land measurement unit equivalent to 7000 square meters] of cacao. This way he will develop his property and improve his lifestyle.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Through the Silvopasture loan, Afodenic will help smallholder farmers, whose livelihoods are principally derived from livestock, to diversify their incomes. These loans will be used to plant income generating fruit and nut trees, such as cacao, on grazing lands. Silvopasture is the practice of combining forestry and grazing of domesticated animals in a mutually beneficial way. Advantages are enhanced soil protection, reduced natural pollution by livestock, and increased medium-term income due to the production of trees and fruits.
Despite being the country's most important export and playing a vital role in the local economy, Nicaragua's livestock production is currently heavily lacking in resources to increase efficiency and sustainability. Today, hard pressed farmers are raising their livestock in inappropriate conditions, allowing overgrazing and administering medications to the animals that increase environmental pollution. Moreover, for many, livestock production is the only source of income, leaving families vulnerable to market conditions, as in 2008 when cattle prices sharply fell in Nicaragua.
About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Every time you open your moth
Nothing but lies come tumbling out
And when you speak you treat
Everyone like they're a fool
But the lie's already landed
And they're taking over
Your words they were empty
Like unwritten stories
To be told in their rightful glory
But you talk shit more than you eat it
They're taking over
You speak all the time, but it's only lies
They're taking over

1. Louis Zukofsky, "Mantis: An Interpretation" (55 Poems, 1941)
(Millet in a Dali canvas, Circe in E's Cantos)
Whatever seeming modelling after the event,
649 years, say, after Dante's first canzone,
If it came back immediately as the only
Form that will include the most pertinent subject of our day--
The poor--
Cannot mean merely implied comparison, unreality
Usually interpreted as falsity.
Zukofsky is best known for the epic long poem "A," but his short poetry is equally seminal. "Mantis, An Interpretation" has to be one of the most thrilling poems ever written by a poet as commentary on one of his own poems--in this case the sestina "Mantis," where the mantis lost in the subway, meeting the indifference of a newsboy and alighting on the poet's chest, is equated with the condition of the ignored poor. Yet in the "interpretation" poem, Zukofsky reaches beyond any ideology, any program, any systematic correspondence (real or imagined) toward a history that is chaotically ordered. To reduce mantis to mantis, and not something else for which it might stand, turns out to be the most illuminating task of all. The "closed" form of the initial poem, the "open" form of the commentary--thought twisting around the irrefutable facts of existence, making the question of form central.
2. Marianne Moore, "When I Buy Pictures" (Selected Poems, 1935)
I fix upon what would give me pleasure in my average moments:
the satire upon curiosity in which no more is discernible
than the intensity of the mood;
or quite the opposite--the old thing, the medieval decorated
in which there are hounds with waists diminishing like the
waist of the hour-glass,
and deer and birds and seated people.
Like Eliot and Stevens, Moore brought in a greater abstraction to the hitherto lyrical confines of poetry. All statements--overtly philosophical and sociological ones too--could henceforth be part of poetry. At times Moore verges on prose, thus raising the standard for prose--not lowering it for poetry, as we might presume. In this poem, what's daring is how Moore explodes her fantasy with a standard so transparent that the preceding images stand rudely exposed by comparison. She performs the same operation in "New York," from the same era, which after chronicling such elements of the "savage's romance" as "the conjunction of the Monongahela and the Allegheny, / and the scholastic philosophy of the wilderness," concludes with the rather flat assertion, the summation of New York's (and America's) quintessence: "it is not the plunder, / but 'accessibility to experience.'"
3. James Wright, "As I Step over a Puddle at the end of Winter, I Think of an Ancient Chinese Governor" (The Branch Will Not Break, 1963)
But it is 1960, it is almost spring again,
And the tall rocks of Minneapolis
Build me my own black twilight
Of bamboo ropes and waters.
Where is Yuan Chen, the friend you loved?
Where is the sea, that once solved the whole loneliness
Of the Midwest? Where is Minneapolis? I can see nothing
But the great terrible oak tree darkening with winter.
Did you find the city of isolated men beyond mountains?
Or have you been holding the end of a frayed rope
For a thousand years?
Clarity is the signature Wright quality, and it is evident in abundance here. Countering the reign of the Beats and the New York School in the 1960s, Wright offered a different style of transparency and directness that has worn very well over time. Here he bridges the distance between ancient and modern--strands of melancholy that can have no resolution in the end--in a plaintive meditation that invites none of the debased emotional reactions such a poem straddling incongruous temporalities could easily have solicited.
4. George Oppen, "Tourist Eye" (Discrete Series, 1934)
The lights that blaze and promise
Where are so many--What is offered
In the wall and nest of lights?
The land
Lacked center:
We must look to Lever Brothers
Based in a square block.
A thousand lives
Within that glass. What is the final meaning
Of extravagance? Why are the office
Buildings, storehouses of papers,
The centers of extravagance?
A fierce critic of capitalism--as this poem makes clear--Oppen joined the Communist Party, volunteered for military service in the fight against fascism, left for Mexico in the midst of the McCarthyite witch hunt, and eventually returned to poetry after a twenty year silence with one of the greatest long poems of the century, Of Being Numerous. In "Tourist Eye," there is no refuge in the city for the tenant, solitude itself is debased, privacy is a preemptive threat, and the drudgery of work has made everyone and everything ancient before its time.
5. Robert Duncan, "What Do I Know of the Old Lore?" (Roots & Branches, 1966)
A young editor wants me to write on Kabbalah for his magazine.
What do I know of the left and the right, of the Shekinah, of the
It is an old book lying on the velvet cloth, the color of olive
under-leaf and plumstain in the velvet;
it is a romance of pain and relief from pain, a tale told of the
Lord of the Hour of Midnight,
the changing over that is a going down into Day from the Mountain.
Duncan's musicality is hypnotic in the extreme, his oscillations between the quotidian and the transcendent profoundly antithetical to the supposed polarity between reason and intuition. We have to believe Duncan identifies with the devoted, hardworking rabbis of the poem. He repeats the line in the middle of the poem, "A young editor wants me to write on Kabbalah for his magazine"--the poet, the young editor, the Kabbalah, the magazine, a cumulative ignorance that has come down through the ages, the only knowledge worth anything. What are the secrets worth knowing? Only Duncan's drunken wisdom will tell.
6. Federico Garcia Lorca, "The King of Harlem" (Poet in New York, written 1929-1930)
It's necessary to kill the blond vendor of firewater
and every friend of apple and sand,
and it's necessary to use the fists
against the little Jewish women who tremble, filled with bubbles,
so the king of Harlem sings with his multitude,
so crocodiles sleep in long rows
beneath the moon's asbestos,
and so no one doubts the infinite beauty
of feather dusters, graters, copper pans, and kitchen casseroles.
Afraid that he was being pigeonholed as a writer of popular ballads--Songs: The Gypsy Ballads had become immensely successful--in June 1929 Lorca left Spain for New York, where he soon encountered the Wall Street crash and the onset of the Great Depression. In Poet in New York--which may yet end up being his most significant work--he describes, perhaps better than anyone else, in language twisted under the greatest surrealistic strain, the depravities of that city's capitalistic corruption, including the blatant suppression of social groups. The balladeer had transformed himself, through sheer will, into the direst prophet of the coming decade and a half of global self-destruction.
7. Anna Akhmatova, "Requiem" (written, 1935)
At dawn they came and took you away.
You were my dead: I walked behind.
In the dark room children cried,
the holy candle gasped for air.
Your lips were chill from the ikon's kiss,
sweat bloomed on your brow--those deathly flowers!
Like the wives of Peter's troopers in Red Square
I'll stand and howl under the Kremlin towers.
Osip Mandelstam remarked that "great poetry is often a response to total disaster." Along with her husband at the time, Nikolai Gumilev, and Mandelstam, Akhmatova was the founder of Acmeism, which stood in contrast to the Futurism of Mayakovsky. The Acmeists believed in economy and precision of expression, and an acceptance of reality as it is, compared to the urge to escape common to Futurism and the predecessor umbrella movement, Symbolism. Akhmatova's project was to preserve the purity of the Russian language in the face of the Stalinist terror. "Requiem" was written in response to her then lover Nikolai Punin's arrest by the secret police. Akhmatova's son, Lev Gumilev, was also often in prison, and other prominent intellectuals--Mandelstam, for example--suffered death at the hands of the regime. Grace, dignity, and compassion are Akhmatova's watchwords.
8. Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones, "To a Publisher...cut-out" (Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note, 1961)
But who am I to love anybody? I ride the 14th St. bus
every day...reading Hui neng/ Raymond Chandler/ Olson...
I have slept with almost every mediocre colored woman
On 23rd St...At any rate, talked a good match. And
Frightened by the lack of any real communication
I addressed several perfumed notes to Uncle Don
& stuffed them into the radio.
Baraka's earliest poetry is his best, before the convolutions of black nationalist and later Marxist ideology got a hold of him. Preface was published by Totem Press, which Baraka founded with wife Hettie Jones, and which published Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. There is great musicality in the early poems, an expansive indictment that shuns bitterness and hatred. Reading these early poems one almost believes that poetry can save a life--or lives. The intense musicality and transcendence of recrimination of Preface continue well into Black Magic (1969), where, in "A Poem Some People Will Have to Understand," the poet complains: "All the fantasy / and justice, and dry charcoal winters / All the pitifully intelligent citizens / I've forced myself to love."
9. James Merrill, "The Thousand and Second Night" (Nights and Days, 1966)
Istanbul. 21 March. I woke today
With an absurd complaint. The whole right half
Of my face refuses to move. I have to laugh
Watching the rest of it reel about in dismay
Under the double burden, while its twin
Sags on, though sentient, stupefied.
I'm here alone. Not quite--through fog outside
Loom winged letters: PAN AMERICAN.
Twenty-five hundred years this city has stood between
The passive Orient and our frantic West.
I see no reason to be depressed;
There are too many other things I haven't seen,
Like Hagia Sophia. Tea drunk, shaved and dressed...
Dahin! Dahin!
Merrill represents a lush, sensual, even narcissistic strain in American poetry not as richly and consistently followed as one would have hoped--what we got was a poetry of pseudo-guilt and pseudo-shame for the most part, instead of a poetry of frank erotics, the direction not taken. One suspects the class origins of most poets in this country explain this to some extent, but also the institutional parameters of the profession. This mid-career poem takes place in Istanbul, Athens, and back in America, as the poet's soul and memory seek rupture and healing anywhere and everywhere--a more cosmopolitan imagination than Merrill's has rarely graced the depressive American poetry business.
10. Robert Lowell, "To Delmore Schwartz (Cambridge 1946)," (Life Studies, 1959)
Your stuffed duck craned toward Harvard from my trunk:
its bill was a black whistle, and its brow
was high and thinner than a baby's thumb;
its webs were tough as toenails on its bough.
It was your first kill; you had rushed it home,
pickled in a tin wastebasket of rum--
it looked through us, as if it'd died dead drunk.
You must have propped its eyelids with a nail,
and yet it lived with us and met our stare,
Rabelaisian, lubricious, drugged.
Compared to Elizabeth Bishop, her contemporary Robert Lowell's stock has relatively fallen, we're told. Yet Lowell injected history, philosophy, and psychology in a personalized manner, revolutionizing poetry, making it bear a weight of catharsis it had previously not been called on to bear. In this relatively light-hearted poem, the poet's nostalgic remembrance of a friendship is equal parts harmony and disharmony. In Lowell's world, intellectual life is the greatest adventure--which rules out despondency and despair, in formal terms. It's a paradox our age lacks the sophistication to enter and accept.
Anis Shivani's debut book of criticism is Against the Workshop: Provocations, Polemics, Controversies (July 2011).

I've seen a few belt buckles with elk ivories that were kinda cool.
I have a jar full of elk ivory that I feel is just kind of going to waste. I'm looking for ideas to use these little gems in one way or another. I don't ever wear rings so that is out for me... Anyone out there have unique or cool ideas? Send pictures if you can.
I've seen a few belt buckles with elk ivories that were kinda cool.
Leather hat band with them placed on it. Bolo ties. Beer top openers.
custom grill utensils with them in the handles. Custom knife made with them in the hilt crown or scales. Money clips, or wallets.
commemorative photo frames showing off the hunt pics. Custom jewelry boxes with them inlayed.
for the odd ideas, custom dentures, glass eyes, ear lobe gauges, or belly pendants!
I hunt because......
I had a necklace made from 2 ivories from an elk my daughter shot and gave it to her for her sweet 16 birthday present.
Make beautiful necklaces for men or women. Nice earrings and rings for women. I'm not a ring wearer either.

Unbiased question LOANS
I believe the loan system is a valuable tool for clubs but it should be restricted to players under 21 years and be limited to a maximum of 2 loan periods.This would end the farcical situation of clubs signing players and then loaning them out just to prevent other clubs signing them .Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A Yahoo! User Jan 15, 2012 20:16 Flag
agree totally with willthered that it should be restricted to young players. I would also add that I think on-loan players should be allowed to play against their parent club as they are in Spain and that the club they join should pay all of their wages. A system which allows a player like Adebayor to play for spurs whilst having his wages partially played by the one club he`s niot allowed to play against is deeply flawed.

"and that the club they join should pay all of their wages"
A silly idea, this would seriously damage the system. United have gained a lot from our young players going out on loan, if the other team had to pay the wages we'd lose out. They're doing us a favour the same as we are doing for them.
I don't think the loan sytem between premier league teams should be allowed. It gives teams an unfair advantage. For example, adebayor can play for spurs against against united, chelsea etc, but not city

Obviously you'd not be wanting a player which your football club has loaned out to be able to play against you, would you?
What a wally you are, a typical Man U knobhead!

So I got the Nishiki Sport that I was looking at yesterday for free!. SunTour everything, alloy 27" rims, LEATHER saddle (a cheap one, but it looks and feels REALLY nice anyway), steel seat post and handlebars, and a 14 speed set of stem shifters. I'll try to post pics of it a bit later.
It's turquoise blue, and is really gorgeous - no rust, and only a few scratches here and there. Actually, the color is almost exactly a non-metallic version of Raleigh mink - just a little bit darker.
So I get it home, and measure the seat post...on my Univega, it's 22-1/2 and is pretty comfortable with a riser stem and NR bars (although the top tube is pretty short). On this Nishiki, it's 19-1/2. The stupid thing was almost unrideable. I swapped wheels from the Uni, since I didn't have the cash or time to run to the store and took it for a ride. Sprightly little bugger, and everything works perfectly...it's just teeny! I think I'm going to give it to my sister once I get it completely fixed up - she's been wanting a drop bar bike...
BTW, is it weird to love the sound that the freewheel on this thing makes? It's a really hollow, mechanical, LOUD ticking. I love it.

Brookfield firm faces lawsuit claiming church scam
The District of Columbia attorney general's office has filed a lawsuit against a Brookfield leasing company and several other firms that accuses them of engaging in a scam that bilked African-American churches out of thousands of dollars.
The scheme involved placing interactive computer kiosks in the churches that were billed as being a no-cost investment for congregations but wound up costing thousands, the lawsuit contends.
"The scam was designed to illegally obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars from congregations across the country by fraudulently inducing them to accept computer equipment on the representation that it was 'free of charge,' " the lawsuit says.
"In fact, the congregations unwittingly were induced to sign leases that obligated them to pay tens of thousands of dollars for equipment that did not work, and the value of which was a small fraction of what the defendants sought to compel congregations to pay," according to the lawsuit, which was filed this week in Washington.
Named in the lawsuit are the Brookfield company, United Leasing Associates of America; Balboa Capital Corp. of Irvine, Calif.; Chesapeake Industrial Leasing Co. of Baltimore; Television Broadcasting Online Inc. of Washington and its subsidiary Urban Interfaith Network Inc.; and Willie Perkins and Michael J. Morris of Television Broadcasting Online (TVBO).
United Leasing, through its attorney Steve Morgan, denied the allegations and will seek to have the lawsuit dismissed.
The lawsuit is similar to one that several churches filed in Wayne County, Mich., against TVBO, Urban Interfaith and United Leasing, claiming fraud and civil conspiracy. They are seeking monetary damages and to have the leases voided.
But the Washington lawsuit appears to be the first time a government entity has taken action on behalf of predominantly urban churches that leased the equipment. The attorney general's office filed the lawsuit under the district's consumer protection laws and is asking the court to negate the leases and order the defendants to pay restitution to the churches.
Morgan said United Leasing did not participate in any fraudulent activity, did not use TVBO as an agent and did not approach the churches about placing the equipment in their buildings. It simply provided the financing and had no contact with the churches other than when they signed leases, Morgan said.
The leases, Morgan said, contain the same standard wording used by other leasing companies throughout the nation and are not unusual leases.
Late last year and earlier this year, United Leasing filed lawsuits in Waukesha County Circuit Court against 39 churches in eight states, contending the churches owe it at least $1.4 million for failing to make monthly payments on the computer kiosks they leased.
The churches - none in Wisconsin - say they were approached by TVBO and Urban Interfaith about a program through which the churches would lease and place kiosks in their buildings. People could use these kiosks to obtain information from the Internet as well as gain access to church Web sites.
TVBO and Urban Interfaith promised to secure national sponsors and others for the kiosks who then would make the churches' monthly lease payments and provide the churches with additional monthly revenue from the commercial sponsorships, according to court records.
Perkins and Morris told congregations that they would have no financial liability for the equipment even though the churches signed leases, the Washington lawsuit contends. The sponsors never materialized, and the leasing companies took steps to collect their payments.
Perkins and Morris did not return calls and e-mails seeking comment.
John P. Casey, an attorney who has represented TVBO in a Waukesha County lawsuit involving TVBO and United Leasing, said TVBO has not yet been served with a copy of the Washington suit. The company is consulting with attorneys in Washington, Casey said.
In the case of Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Washington, United Leasing debited the church's checking account 22 times in one day without the congregation's consent, removing $62,801, the Washington suit says.
United Leasing has said it withdrew money from some church bank accounts but noted that the lease contracts that churches signed allowed this.

Next year, when a fire truck comes screaming down State Road 135 at rush hour, 11 stoplights will help firefighters get to emergencies faster without slowing down your commute.
A total of 18 intersections along State Road 135, State Road 37, Morgantown Road and Smith Valley Road will get new equipment added to traffic lights to make them turn green for fire trucks. Using GPS, the lights will know when an emergency vehicle is coming and will change the signal to clear traffic and allow for the vehicles to get through intersections smoothly.
The new equipment will help ease traffic at busy intersections where fire trucks need to get through and make it safer and easier because they won't have to weave through cars. Marion County uses the technology, and at least one intersection in Johnson County — outside the White River Township Fire Department station at State Road 37 and Smith Valley Road — has had the GPS equipment since 2001. Greenwood also plans on installing their own.
Early next year, the White River Township Fire Department plans to spend up to $131,000 on the new technology from money that was budgeted but not spent this year on insurance and equipment, Fire Chief Jeremy Pell said. The installation costs for the equipment are included in next year's budget.
The equipment will be installed at intersections along State Road 135 from County Line Road to Stones Crossing Road, and on State Road 37 between Smith Valley Road and County Line Road. Morgantown Road will have the new smart lights between Smith Valley Road and Stones Crossing Road, and the intersection at Smith Valley Road and Peterman Road will have the new technology as well.
Two of the roads where the smart stoplights will be installed are state roads under the control of the Indiana Department of Transportation. The state will partner with local fire departments who want to install smart lights and will sometimes help fund them, department of transportation spokesman Will Wingfield said. In most cases, though, funding is left up to the local agencies, he said.
The new signals will make the roads safer for both commuters and emergency workers, Pell said. When an intersection gets backed up for a red light, drivers have to try to find a way to make room for emergency vehicles to get through as they approach. This can be dangerous because it means that firefighters can't respond as quickly, and will have to weave their way through traffic to try to get through, he said.
If the lights automatically turn green, drivers at the intersection will have time to move forward and to the right so they are not in the way of a fire truck, Pell said. The change will help ease traffic backups so that emergency vehicles can get through, he said.
Each emergency vehicle at the department will be equipped with a GPS unit that is connected to the vehicle's emergency lights. When the lights go on, the GPS unit knows to start turning traffic signals green. The device can tell when a turn signal in the vehicle is on and will start changing lights in the direction they intend to turn, Pell said. The GPS can start to change signals up to two intersections ahead of the vehicle, he said.
While Greenwood does not have any of the lights, the Greenwood Fire Department is looking to find grant money to purchase the signals, Fire Chief James Sipes. Once the department has the money, officials will look install the technology at the intersections where accidents are most likely to occur, he said. Greenwood would use the same technology as White River, so the two departments would be able to control signals in both the city and county.
The new equipment will become more important with more development, Pell said. With a new Walmart planned on State Road 135, traffic could increase in the next few years and make it more difficult for emergency vehicles to get through backed up intersections, he said.
The smart lights will also help residents be more aware when an emergency vehicle is approaching. A small white light on top of the traffic signal will turn on when an emergency vehicle is headed their way, and drivers can begin to move over when they see the light go on, Pell said.
The department will encourage police departments and ambulance companies to buy GPS trackers for their vehicles that trigger the lights, so that when they are in the area they will be able to clear traffic as well, he said.
