Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

(All In Less Than 5 Days)
I want to become a better entrepreneur and start making more money.
I don't want to make more money, even if I could do so in 5 days or less.
Rumor has it that you have to raise money in order to survive in Silicon Valley. Most people are afraid of moving there because of the money factor. Well, I spent the last three months in Mountain View and my costs totaled just shy of $250. If I can do it, anyone can do it. It just depends on how badly you want it.
Let's go over the major costs:
I was lucky enough to have a cousin in Menlo Park who offered me a room behind his house. Three months of free rent and utilities certainly helped. Thankfully, my grandparents also lived about two hours away, so during the weekends I stayed with them. If you have any family or friends in the area, just ask, and if not, try to find a cheap housing arrangement on Craigslist or AirBNB.
"5 Practical Things Every Entrepreneur Must Know"
I'm proud to say that I spent approximately $20 on food this summer thanks to a strategy I perfected over time. First off, breakfast. The office where I worked provided an incredible breakfast each morning: oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, bagels, fruit and more. Lunch, either I had toasted bagels and cream cheese at the office or I made sure to schedule lunch with someone that would be happy to cover it, ahead of time. For dinner, I attended events with delicious food every night.
The two best part of events are networking and eating. Thanks to EpicLaunch, I was able to obtain a complimentary press pass for most events. I found out about 95% of events by religiously reading Startup Digest, Plancast and Garys Guide.
Be creative, a meal doesn't have to be in a restaurant or at home in a traditional way. If you open up yourself to other options you'll certainly be able to save money.
My primary method of transportation was a bike that I borrowed from a friend. When I needed to travel long distances I biked to the train station and bought eligible discount tickets since I was under 18. On most days, I took the train which, unfortunately, made up the bulk of my costs for the summer.
One of the greatest benefits to being a part of the Teens In Tech incubator was having access to many resources at no cost. First off, we had incredible office space at Appcelerator. The incubator also provided us with free hosting, incredible mentors and educational workshops.
Throughout this experience I gained an entire suitcase of clothing — for free. Throughout my stay, I collected over 30 startup shirts, including: Klout, Disqus, Mozilla, Bump, Udemy, Livefyre, Meebo, Evernote, Waze, Salesforce, Olark, Teens In Tech, WePay, Uservoice, Formspring and many, many more. I will admit that I had to pay $15 for my own startup shirt to represent MySchoolHelp. Since I only bought one and wore it almost every other day I made a serious investment in Axe deodorant. If you're interested in seeing pictures of some of the shirts feel free to take a look here.
Asides from shirts, I also needed business cards, stickers and magnets. The business cards I printed through Vistaprint, which was the cheapest option and included a 50% discount.
Since I had hosted a custom magnet giveaway on EpicLaunch earlier in the summer, the sponsor company, Uprinting, provided me with 100 of my own in return. And thanks to my buddy Noah Kagan at AppSumo, we worked out a deal to promote AppSumo on EpicLaunch and he gave me access to their StickerMule deal for free.
I hope this post helps all the aspiring entrepreneurs out there who want to make their way to Silicon Valley. Believe me it's 100% worth it.
As Kyle Macdonald described me on Twitter: I'm "epic frugal", which is certainly true but it was all for the greater good for my startup.
Up to the challenge? Love to hear your thoughts.
Hey Ben,
Glad you had an awesome summer in the Valley. Hope you got to meet some of my folks while you were there and good to see that you are still rocking that press pass tip. Cheers.

Great article Ben! Although, I think I might be able to do it with only $200 🙂
Great post. I hope to visit the Valley in two years, when I'm about 16. I've already started looking at prices, working out what I'm going to need. It's really inspiring to know that my dream is possible, and doesn't even necessarily cost that much!
good job on the post.
I have always admired young entrepreneur like yourself.
The post is very eye-catchy
also, i just liked you on FB=)
Congrats! What a great story and summer experience. I'm sure you met some great people during your 'dinners'/networking as well! Looking forward to keeping updated on the progress of MySchoolHelp!
And now if you went on ebay to sell all those new T-shirts you might even be quids in 🙂
Great article Ben! Looks like you had an EPIC summer! 🙂
wow!Money can't buy what you have gone through. Envy! Great Article!
Thank you good luck! Great strory.

MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) -- The toll from Tropical Storm Fay is mounting with two drowning deaths reported in Florida and 23 in the Caribbean.
Four days of heavy rain has flooded homes, streets and businesses in Florida.
Especially hard hit is Brevard County, where there's an estimated 12 million dollars in building damage and 2.6 million dollars in damage from beach erosion.
President Bush has issued a federal disaster declaration to help.The flooding has floated alligators and snakes out their usual habitat.
Fay hovered for hours just off the Florida coast today before returning for it's third separate assault on the state.
At 8 p.m. Eastern it was located just west of Flagler Beach and was moving west at about two miles per hours with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour.

It wasn't random, but it certainly was kind.
Members of the newly formed Junior Joy Team stopped by Vancouver City Hall on Monday to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness week. The children, ages 6 to 11, brought more than 260 bags filled with hand-drawn pictures, notes and candy to give to each of the city's employees. It was the kick-off event for the group and has been in the works since January.
"The kids couldn't sleep last night," said parent Dana Damara. "They were so excited."
The group, like its adult version, aims to spread joy and optimism to the community.
Joy Team founder Michele Larsen founded the adult group in February 2011. She said a children's group was a natural part of the group's evolution because her children accompanied her to many of the adult group's events.
"I thought maybe we should have the Junior Joy Team, so kids can choose (the projects)," Larsen said.
The kids group first met in January.
"It was seriously a board meeting over mac 'n' cheese and carrots," Damara said.
The first thing the kids chose to do was visit city employees.
On Sunday, they spent an hour and a half stuffing cards, hand-drawn pictures and candy into heart-covered bags while learning about city departments.
On Monday morning, seven of the 10 team members took a tour of City Hall, passing out goodie bags along the way. The children attend Hough Elementary, St. Joseph Catholic and King's Way Christian schools.
Michele Larsen's daughter, Taryn, 8, said she wanted to meet the mayor and spread joy through the community.
The kids said the highlight of the trip was spending time behind the councilors' chairs and answering questions from Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt. The mayor, who played a concerned citizen during a pretend meeting, suggested to the councilors-in-training that the city needs more police officers.
Kellen Larsen, 10, another one of Michele's kids, handled it like a pro.
"Well, let us think about that," he said, while sitting in Councilor Larry Smith's chair.
All of the kids fielded another question from the audience: "Is this better than being in math class?"
The answer was a unanimous "yes."
Jill Bingham, an administrative assistant in the city's economic development department, made sure it would be OK for the kids travel through the building and had a representative from each department talk about what he or she does. She also guided the students through the work area to hand out the gifts.
"It was refreshing having some good news come our way," Bingham said.
The Junior Joy Team plans to host several events each year and to visit to firefighters, police, teachers, nurses, garbage collectors and construction workers.
Larsen got contact information for the Vancouver fire and police departments during the tour. She said police might be the next stop for her Junior Joy kids.

Gomez goes wild in indie film
LOS ANGELES - "A little awkward" is how Selena Gomez describes her transition from Disney girl to Disney girl gone wild in the new R-rated independent film "Spring Breakers," in which she plays a bikini-clad and heavily armed college student bent on a good time with three friends and some drugs, sex and violence.
"I am getting a little bit older, so I wanted to push myself and kind of get into a little bit more of an indie world. And it was a really great experience for me. And at the same time it has been, of course, a little awkward, but great," the 20-year-old Ms. Gomez said Thursday at the film's Hollywood premiere.
Known for her role on Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place," Ms. Gomez actually began moving to a faster track as Justin Bieber's now ex-girlfriend. "Honestly, it's been a weird transition. You never really know what's right or wrong and you can only do the best you can," she said.
Morrissey cancels tour
NEW YORK - Health concerns are forcing Morrissey to cancel his North American tour.
In a statement released Friday night, his rep said the singer has to take a break after suffering a series of maladies, including double pneumonia, a bleeding ulcer and a gastrointestinal problem called Barrett's esophagus.
Fans can get refunds where they purchased their tickets. Morrissey thanked fans for their well wishes.
Morrissey had to cancel performances earlier this month because of his pneumonia.

Feisty Law Magazine Prods the Big Firms the American Lawyer Challenges Legal Professionals on Competence and Ethics; Celebrates the `Rule of Law' in America
James H. Andrews, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
LEGIONS of attorneys from New York to Los Angeles must have grumbled to themselves, over the last 15 years, "If only Steven Brill had become a lawyer."
But the Yale Law School graduate says he "never thought about {practicing law} for a minute." In an interview in his midtown-Manhattan office, Mr. Brill recalls that, during his last year in law school in the mid-1970s, the career-guidance director told him that "I was the only student in the last several years who had never shown up in the placement office. I didn't even know where it was."
Instead, Brill became a journalist who revolutionized the way the press covers the legal profession - often to the chagrin of the lawyers and judges whose competence, ethics, and gaffes - as well as their triumphs - he has probed with the zeal of a born investigative reporter and editor.
Fifteen years ago, after covering legal affairs for New York magazine and Esquire and writing a book about the Teamsters Union, Brill - just 28 - launched The American Lawyer. The monthly journal kicked open the doors of a secretive world, the giant law firms that serve blue-chip corporations.
Before The American Lawyer appeared in 1979, legal journalism focused primarily on law, not on lawyers. Trade papers offered summaries of legislation and key judicial decisions, leavened by kid-glove profiles of prominent attorneys and judges. There was little critical analysis of lawyers' performance and still less coverage of the legal profession as a business.
The dawn of a new era broke with the cover story in The American Lawyer's first issue: Brill's report that the New York law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom was the "top moneymaker" in 1978, with average partner earnings exceeding $350,000. Such a disclosure was virtually unprecedented in legal journalism, as were other stories that first year like the report on five prominent New York law firms "on the way down" and an expose of defense lawyers' delaying tactics in litigation over the safety of the Ford Pinto.
ARTICLES that open the books of large law firms and behind-the-scenes critiques of the lawyering in headline-grabbing cases have remained staples in the magazine.
The journal's narrow circulation to about 16,000 subscribers - mainly big-firm lawyers, as well as prosecutors and judges - belies its influence within one of the richest and most powerful constituencies in the United States.
In the early years, The American Lawyer was angrily denounced by many lawyers as an impertinent scandal sheet, but the criticism has declined.
The American Lawyer's influence on legal journalism ripples far. For one thing, numerous Brill-trained sleuths have scattered to other publications. …

The fact that the team is seeking a long term deal does surprise me. Don't get me wrong, I love josh, but he wants to be the highest paid corner in the league. Someone will make him that. I'm surprised gettleman would be willing to invest so much in a corner. It seems to be contrary to how he wants to build his team. That being said, I'm not questioning anything gettleman does.
They just forget about last year??? (Mock Draft)
PantherAZ replied to mbarbour21's topic in Carolina PanthersI've decided I am no longer ever giving an opinion on what we should or should not do. Whatever Gettleman decides is best.
Just Two Fans Welcome Cardinals Home At The Airport
PantherAZ replied to SF4Nynah's topic in Carolina PanthersIt's true. I've lived here for 13 years and can count the number of people I've known that support the Cardinals, regardless of record, on my fingers. That being said, it's a huge transplant state.Even more so than Charlotte. Everyonelikes their home team until they suck and the Cardinals are good. Ican also count the number of natives on my fingers. My wife happens to be one of them, but lucky for me, she never watched a single game of football until she met me. Now she rocks a Tolbert jersey every Sunday and made sure to dress our sons up in Panthers gear for school on Friday.
Hardy evidence photo somehow leaked
PantherAZ replied to Captain Morgan's topic in The TinderboxI'm 6' 180lbs. I can easily restrain a 120lbs woman without hurting her or putting marks like that on her. Had an ex flip out on me. That's not what it looks like.

Is there any way we could put together some sort of support rally to show the players that we are behind them 100%? Maybe we could suggest it to JP?
What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?
I'd make the trip from West Des Moines.
As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
I'm in! but where would it be?
If we can get 33 to tell us where the players are meeting at 6....
I'm there. I coached youth sports for a long time, and I know what coaches mean to these kids. And they ARE kids. Any support we can give them, whatever they choose to do, is the right thing to do for ISU athletics - but more importantly - for these kids.
They deserve better than this. My heart aches for them.
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)
Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.
I would go.
Great idea. Just super.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Yeah, I'd be there, and could probably get 6 or 7 other students to come along.
True and Valiant
I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

i imagine just being outside of the meeting that they have with jp will work
Hooray for Metaphors!
The players know they have our support. I'm not sure having a "Support Rally" would have any real effect. Their future at Iowa State is a personal decision for themselves.
if we could work this out soon i would make it there... im about 45 minute drive away.
I don't know if we would be able to round up enough people to do it this evening...
id be there for sure if we knew where it was
Originally Posted by ianoconnor

Eh, some is better than none. I don't think there is any way we can talk JP into setting up a separate event. He's got his hands full trying to find a new head football coach.
JP actually had the meeting already, since Chiziks was so short, it followed. It was a good idea.

Sugar Ray Leonard says in his upcoming autobiography that he was sexually abused by a coach as a young boxer in the early 1970s.
In "The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring," the Hall of Famer writes than an unnamed "prominent Olympic boxing coach," who has since died, assaulted him in a car in a deserted parking lot across the street from a rec center after praising his bright future.Leonard, who turned 55 on Tuesday, won a gold medal at the 1976 Games then went on to capture five world titles in five weight classes.
An unnamed Olypmic coach assaulted Leonard in a parking lot, where "he had unzipped my pants and put his hand, then mouth, on an area that has haunted me for life," the New York Times reports.
Leonards describes multiple cases of sexual abuse in his upcoming book. Both abusers passed away decades ago. Leonard says he never confronted them, instead wound up trying to deal with memories when he was drinking.
At a gym bearing Leonard's name in Prince George's county, some who knew the boxer said they didn't know about the abuse.
Janks Morton started working with leonard in 1969 in the Palmer Park community center. Leonard's mentor says he'd never heard of the abuse and doesn't really care to now.
"It's personal so I think it should stay that way," Morton said. Morton wouldn't venture to guess who the alleged abuser was. In his book, Leonard also writes the unnamed coach made him and another teen bathe as the man watched.
"Man, he taught me how to throw the first jab," said Michael Massey, who went to high school with Sugar Ray. He also first heard about the sex abuse Tuesday night.
"He'd (have) tried to deal with them demons within. You know, and the best way that I think he dealt with 'em probably during that time is in the ring," Massey said.
One young fighter says he's inspired by Leonard's perhaps most powerful move yet. "It lets you know that no matter what happens, you can basically make it if you put 100 percent into it," said boxer Francoi Scarboro.
"He's an inspiration since he's coming out of the area so I just hope that I can follow his footsteps," said Scarboro.
Despite his successes, he couldn't escape the haunting experience, Leonard writes. "I do know that I was in a lot of pain as I chased my dream of winning the gold," he writes.
The book, written with Michael Arkush, is due out next month. The account of abuse was first reported by The New York Times on Tuesday. Leonard, who turned 55 Tuesday, has been competing on Dancing with the Stars.

Because of a little known practice referred to as "financial holding," your pre-pay purchase could actually mean double that is temporarily deducted from your debit card account.
Lisa Branch started noticing it this summer when gas prices began climbing. Branch, a single mother who watches every dollar, asked her bank about it and was told nothing could be done because the hold was put on by someone else, perhaps the gas station.
News Tens contacted the gas stations and Visa USA and each pointed the finger at each other.
A hold is legal and is usually taken off the account within two or three business days.

Filmmaker Karan Johar will be seen on the big screen again and the makers of "Bombay Velvet" say that he didn't accept a single paisa as an actor's fee for his negative role in the film.
As a token of appreciation, co-producer Phantom Films (Anurag Kashyap and Vikas Bahl) has sent a giant Rs.11 cheque as a symbol of friendship between them and Karan.
"Yes, he has not taken any remuneration, because this film is his 'passion project'. I think the full team will always be indebted to him," Bahl said in a statement.
The romantic thriller, which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in lead roles, is set to release Nov 28. It has been co-Produced by Fox Star Studios and Phantoms Films.
Karan has earlier done small roles in films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and "Luck By Chance".

Health plans
If your health plan is like most businesses, information technology (IT) is one of your biggest capital budget lines and one of your least visible functions. With the goals of driving efficiency up and costs down, IT has typically served the business. Now, IT is the business — and to make this change, technology needs to come out of the back office. Innovation and differentiation should become a focus in how your health plan leverages technology.
Plans should upgrade both tech tools and tech culture to satisfy the new market
For health plans, it's time for information technology (IT) to help drive the business, not just support it. The changing marketplace is making new demands that technology can help satisfy—from population management and analytics to the dashboards and mobile tools that bring trust to customer relationships.
To take IT on the journey from cost center to strategic differentiator, health plans should focus on long-term investment, controlled risk-taking and rapid, agile iterations. Plans will also need to consider where and how to apply finite resources to this business-centered technology, approach.
Do you know which technology investments will make the biggest, quickest difference on the bottom line? Are your leaders ready to back up new directives? Technology is now poised to become an engine of agility, innovation and engagement—with the right leadership, focus and support.
Technology: Not just serving the business, it is the business
Information technology can become your organization's strategic differentiator. But, putting technology at the center of a health plan's business requires a two-pronged approach: focusing on the business of IT and becoming a partner in business innovation.

Jazz Meets Best Korean Fried Chicken in East Village!
By mingu725 on 8/17/2012
Jazz Meets Best Korean Fried Chicken in East Village! To someone who loves Jazz and vintage like me, this place is just AMAZING! We can feel the groove anytime because they play Jazz everyday. Live performance takes place every night, and it's always filled with crowds. The best part is of course their seasoned Fried Chicken!! It's so crispy outside but tender and juicy inside. It goes well with both their beer selection (allagash is my favorite one) and special soju samplers (beautifully decorated Infused soju drinks which are very fresh and soft). Edamame and Mango salad are great as an appetizer, and Yuzu Seabass and Galbi Skewer are delicious! Interior, ambiance, food, and staffs are all fantastic, highly recommended :)

Good food, fun place - inattentive staff
By minimalwage on 6/30/2011
Group of 4 of us got a great table top in the dead center of the old Jeollado garage - it's really lovely to be inside there. Especially as an old school DJ myself whose own place has these wonderfully culled archives of vinyl on the wall. We ordered the fried chicken early, we were warned it could take awhile (and they were right). Shored up that order with several of the tapas including Bulgogi Ssam (incredible, but only 3 small lettuce wraps - $12), Salmon Ceviche (good, but didn't need the creamy sauce on top) and the Tuna Tataki (this was the best thing we ordered). There was also an order of sauteed glass noodles (with beef, we think - can't find it now). The only have a license for beer and wine but get around that by mixing mojitos and martinis with Soju - and it kind of works. Except that they only had 1 bartender, which on this not-too-busy Wednesday night meant about a 12-15 minute wait for a drink order. They forgot 1 drink from our first round and did nothing to rush its replacement - another 12-15 min. Yes, I'm complaining a bit, but we did feel ignored - we never got the "is everything ok?" or "Can we bring you anything else?" The table behind us often waved their hands to get someone's attention. All in all, good food in a fun place that suffers due to inattentive and possible overwhelmed staff. We'll go back, but not for awhile.

We hit this place up after a day of rooftop drinking etc, and it couldn't have been much better. Food was awesome (fried chicken is exceptional... we ordered a combo of spicy and soy garlic, and bulgogi buns came in warm, fresh bun with a perfect texture and were unbelievably tasty), vibe was perfect (dark, spacious), music was sick (uptempo and experimental jazz e.g. herbie hancock head hunters, MMW, jamiroquai, all with solid bass, loud but not conversation-inhibiting). Would be great for having a party, or, as in our case, keeping the party rolling through dinner. Scantily clad NYU girls ftw. Didn't know about selecting music, didn't see anyone doing that while we were there, but the DJ was doing a pretty damn good job on his own. Also, at one point my friend asked the waiter what was playing, and the waiter climbed up the ladder to the DJ booth (which is sort of suspended over the back of the main dining room) and asked him, then came back to the table and filled us in. pretty cool of him.

Some Hints:
- The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
- If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
- Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
- Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.

We shopped for our Outback 2.5i wagon last spring and coordinated the purchase of our GO just after the purchase of our 2011 Subaru. We had both in mind as "the boomer toys of choice". We couldn't be more elated…they are like biscuits and gravy, like strawberries and cream, like sauerkraut on your bratwurst, like horseradish with roast beef. Some things just work well together! The Subaru's rear deck complements storage of camping/kayaking/biking supplies with the GO's hauling abilities. Our mpg were hardly affected at all and visibility was not hampered when towing, either in the travel or transport mode
—Michael, Bloomington, MN.—
With the SylvanSport GO single motorcycle trailer it is no longer a challenge to bring your large street bike on vacation with you, GO is ready for any adventure. Our super-durable, hyper-engineered aluminum frame is built to be tough on the highway or the trail. This is the single motorcycle trailer that you have been waiting for!!
At SylvanSport we cut out the headache of towing your bike so that you can just hitch up and GO. With our patented single motorcycle trailer it's as simple as strapping your bike to our durable trailer deck, hitching it to the back of your car or SUV, and hitting the road. Coming in at a slim and trim 840 pounds, the GO single motorcycle trailer is incredibly easy to haul and our unique torsion axle suspension offers incredibly smooth load control on the highway.

Aboard Emollient, Smith rode to victory in the Grade 1, $350,750 race in Hollywood, ahead of Emotional Kitten and Topic.
"I got away slow, so I kept her covered up. She broke so flat footed I just put her right in behind," Smith said.
"I could tell how slow they were going, so I went for it to get on the clear and make the pace move. Looking back at it now, I can say it was a great move."
Now approaching his 48th birthday, the evergreen jockey seems to be following the example of the recently returned Gary Stevens by making light of his advancing years to score big wins.

"Banff" Top 5 Page for this destination Banff National Park by zrim
Banff National Park Travel Guide: 815 reviews and 1,590 photos
This is my most ambitious project yet on VT. Banff is such an extraordinary place that words and photos cannot hope to do justice to the magnitude of this part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I hope my record of my time in the mountains will inspire you to experience it for yourself one day.
Most of the scenic tips are listed under "must see" and are in the same chronological order that I saw the sights myself; the wildlife is in the "local customs" category; "off the beaten path" is reserved for flowers and plantlife; and while I do not wish to be a nag and a scold, the "warnings and dangers" are particularly important in my mind.
- Pros:Abundant wildlife, spectacular scenery around every corner
- Cons:Banff is no secret, everyone and their uncle is here
- In a nutshell:You must see Banff for yourself one day

Class 4A boys: Mannford takes down Anadarko, 49-41
YUKON — Behind hot 3-point shooting early and consistent foul shooting late, Mannford cruised past Anadarko 49-41.
Mannford sprinted to an early lead thanks to sophomore guard Noah Garner, who connected on three shots from behind the arc in the first half. Mannford went on an 11-0 run to open the second quarter to get up by as much as 15, before finishing the half up 24-15.
Anadarko trimmed the deficit in the second half behind senior center A'Ram Johnson, who finished with a game-high 19 points.
But when Garner hit another 3-pointer, his fourth of the game, with less than two minutes to play, Anadarko was forced to foul — and Mannford didn't miss. Junior forward Derek Hilton, who finished with a team-high 18 points, hit four straight foul shots to put it away.

Continuing the other two posts from the NAHBS (North American Handmade Bicycle Show) in Indianapolis, IN: Besides all of the wonderful bikes and their builders, some of the suppliers and jig builders were there as well. Columbus was there (two fellows from Italy) and I enjoyed seeing some raw sets of Columbus Niobium steel since our tandem is made of that tubing. Anvil Jigs was there - here's an image of a wonderful jig. He had smaller jigs for smaller sub assemblies. Henry James was there with tubing and lugs as was Nova Builder's Supply and Paragon Machine Company. Reynolds Tubing was there as well. The programmer of the bike design program Bike Cad was there. There is the free-online-but-less-featured version online but the full version is quite a great package and he now works on it full-time. The six frame builders who have been at the NAHBS each year since it began in 2005 were honored at a presentation. This group includes Craig Calfee (one the left of the photo) and Don Walker, show founder, (second from the right).

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We love it when we come across a delightful kitchen makeover that has a little bit of that wow factor. Erin's 1950s house had a lot of "retro charm" but it had been neglected by the time she bought it as a foreclosure in 2011, and the kitchen in particular suffered from outdated and dingy cabinets, appliances, and floors.
But after a few really stellar upgrades —including a stenciled floor and a gorgeous blue-green paint job — it's an entirely new space! See what Erin's kitchen looks like now — we said, "Wow!"

When Christina and her husband first looked at the Philadelphia house that would eventually become their home, they almost didn't buy it because of the kitchen: "It was so small, so brown, and so ugly," Christina writes on her blog Christina's Adventures. But they did, after deciding they were going to figure out a way to open, brighten, and maximize every bit of space in the kitchen — and on a tiny, $3,500 budget.
And that's exactly what they did! Check out what this brown, drab kitchen looks like now...

Deme's Dayton, Ohio kitchen "was definitely drab," she writes on her blog House For Five. "And dirty. And really, really blah-brown." We see what she means. The enormous lightbox in particular "made the ceiling feel like it was grazing the top of your head," especially for her 6'4" husband. It was time for a change.
To give her kitchen new life and spark, Deme embarked on a plan to transform the space by updating, repainting, or replacing almost everything while keeping the budget to under $700. How did she do it? See the amazing transformation below:

Occupy Wall Street: Good for the Environment?
Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan -- the site of the Occupy Wall Street protests for the past month -- is a pretty desolate place to camp out: it's fenced in by glass towers, paved with granite slabs, and landscaped with a few spindly honey locust trees. There's no grass or fresh water, not even a drinking fountain, though there is a tiny flower garden that the protesters do their best not to trample. The park itself is only 33,000 square feet, little more than half the size of a football field. Tourists gather at a safe distance around the park's border and snap photos of the 5,000-some-odd protesters as they sprawl, stretch, pace, paint signs, bang on things, drink bottled water, and, occasionally, roar. It feels at times less like an acampada than a zoo.
But don't let that fool you -- this arguably is the most technologically sophisticated protest in history. Twitter-born, optics-aware, and social-media savvy, the Occupy Wall Street activists have managed to capture the nation's attention and spawn copycat protests around the world. And so it was both fitting and charmingly absurd on Saturday afternoon when author and climate activist Bill McKibben -- staging a "teach-in" on climate change at Washington Square Park before the Occupy Wall Street general assembly -- had to resort to the most analog form of amplification imaginable: the "human megaphone," whereby members of the crowd repeat after him, like members of a gospel choir, to transmit each phrase of his speech to those out of earshot. (Police had prohibited the use of megaphones.)
"The reason it's so great…" McKibben said, his long thin arm chopping at the air like a scythe.
"The reason it's so great…" the crowd echoed.
"That we're occupying Wall Street…"
"That we're occupying Wall Street…"
"Is that Wall Street…"
"Is that Wall Street…"
"Has been occupying the atmosphere!"
"Has been occupying the atmosphere!"
"The sky does not belong to Exxon," McKibben continued. "They cannot keep using it as a sewer into which to dump their carbon."
McKibben (who is also an OnEarth contributing editor) had come to drum up awareness among the occupiers about the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would ferry dirty crude from the Canadian tar sands to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast, creating a serious danger to communities and drinking supplies along the way, as well as the global climate. That very day, The New York Times had reported that the State Department had outsourced an environmental impact study of the pipeline to a firm that had long been cozy with the oil industry. (Or, as McKibben bluntly summarized in his teach-in, "The whole thing was rigged.") The timing of the disclosure could not have been more auspicious: Here was documented proof of how the one percent bend the political system to the detriment of the other 99.
Days before his visit, McKibben's activism group, 350.org, had staged a well-attended protest at Zuccotti. Afterward, I talked to Phil Aroneanu, 350's co-founder and U.S. campaign director, to find out if environmental protesters felt aligned with the larger movement behind Occupy Wall Street.
"A lot of people actually came up to us and asked, 'Why are you here?'" Aroneanu recalled. His response to them was simple: We're a climate change advocacy group. The reason that we haven't had any change on climate change is because coal companies, gas companies, oil companies, and their Wall Street financiers have rigged the system and bought out our politicians.
"It seemed to make sense for everyone that I talked to," Aroneanu said. "Whether they were from a union or occupiers or from community groups, they were like, 'I totally get that.'"
But the question is not whether the environmental movement can be absorbed by the chimerical Occupy Wall Street movement; the question is whether Occupy Wall Street can benefit the environment.
Anyone who has seen the panoply of cardboard signs carpeting Zuccotti Square -- espousing the legalization of marijuana, poking fun at Chris Christie's weight, eroticizing peace ("Shoot sperm not bullets"), demanding student loan relief, and begging to get Arrested Development back on network television -- knows that these occupiers are an inclusive bunch, perhaps to a fault.
Last Saturday I spoke to Michael Lavelle, a financial advisor for a life-insurance company who had driven down from Boston to hoist a sign reading "End Fracking Now" in the park. Yet far from focusing on environmental issues, our conversation quickly veered into a lengthy detour about the 9/11 Truth movement, the neurologically deleterious effects of aspartame, and how America needs to abandon its support of the state of Israel. "I'm a proponent of all the issues that are on the table right now," he said.
This isn't open-mindedness. It's ADD.
Not coincidentally, it's also built into the structural DNA of the Occupation movement. When the anti-consumerist activism group Adbusters first put forward the idea of "occupying" Wall Street in the manner of Tahrir Square, it did so with a chaotic model in mind: rather than a "pack of wolves" with a strict hierarchy, it wanted to move like an amorphous "swarm."
What we are seeing in New York and across the country -- and increasingly, the world -- is that swarm in action: occupiers gather, debate, and, over a number of weeks or even months, hope to reach a consensus. "Tahrir succeeded in large part because the people of Egypt made a straightforward ultimatum -- that Mubarak must go -- over and over again until they won," the Adbusters website says. "Following this model, what is our equally uncomplicated demand?"
Throughout the occupation, any number of activists have put forward their personal demands, which have included stricter financial regulations, universal health care, open borders, stronger union rights, and the abolition of "personhood" status for corporations. One widely circulated list of demands even included -- nobly, but naively -- "one trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants."
Over time, Adbusters hopes that this Cambrian explosion of demands will evolve into one elegant ultimatum. In its missive, the group makes it clear what it hopes that demand will be: "a presidential commission to separate money from politics."
It seems this proposal has since been lost in the ensuing storm of media coverage, or maybe it was deemed too tame by the protesters themselves. "I love the idea of occupying Wall St," wrote one commenter beneath the Adbusters manifesto, "but the demand for a presidential commission is lame…. Do you think all those people in Tahrir Square wanted a freaking commission?"
And yet if you talk to the serious environmental activists down on Wall Street, many agree that this one demand -- the decoupling of corporate influence from government policy -- would be a quantum leap forward for the environmental movement. This is because, as Phil Aroneanu pointed out, when environmental nonprofits lobby against the interests of polluters and industry, the playing field is never level.
"On the climate bill, the environmental groups spent more money than they've ever spent before, and they still got outspent eight-to-one by corporate interests," he said. "The cards are stacked way against groups that are trying to bring progressive change in this country. So I don't think you'd hear a lot of complaints [from environmentalists] if you decided to remove money from politics. Activist groups are way better at organizing people than they are at raising money."
Julien Harrison, an environmental activist who left his home in Oregon to join the occupation two weeks ago, said that addressing this power imbalance was his first priority. "There's a systematic problem [with our environmental policy], and that problem lies deeper than just needing stricter regulations," he said.
It lies smack in the heart of Wall Street, he argued.
"If you're an environmentalist, you should also be concerned about these issues of democracy, of equality, of political corruption," Harrison said. "All of our struggles ultimately are connected. Our success lies in us coming together."
As the last 27 days have made clear, though, just coming together isn't enough. The Occupation continues, with more people swarming to Wall Street and spinoff protests in other cities every day. But winter looms. To effect a lasting change in this country -- economic, ecological, or otherwise -- the occupiers will need to evolve into something a little more coordinated, something with thicker coats and sharper teeth, and finally, resolutely, pick their prey.
