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.

Instead of going team by team this off season, I will review the divisions as a group. And whereas last year, I used a version of BaseRuns, with some modifications for strength of schedule and the like thrown in, to determine the ranking of teams' true talent levels, this year I will use WAR as provided here on FanGraphs.
Part Two: The NL West
The ranks last year were Las Angeles (9th), Arizona (14th), Colorado (21st), San Diego (25th) and San Francisco (27th). Like their Western counterparts in the American League, the NL West teams were largely poor and the Dodgers took the division with just 84 wins.
The Dodgers captured the division title once again in 2009, but it took a lot more work to do so, as they finished with 95 wins, three games ahead of Colorado. They stayed atop these rankings as well, with 43 WAR to land them in 5th place. Matching the close finish in the actual won-loss records, the Rockies, at 42 WAR, were just behind the Dodgers, 6th overall in baseball.
Now comes the first curve ball. While in actuality, the rest of the division went Giants (88 wins), Padres (75 wins) and Diamondbacks (70 wins), the WAR rankings have the Giants, then Arizona and finally San Diego. Now that's not a huge surprise. The interesting part comes in how close San Francisco and Arizona are. The Giants, with 34 WAR, are 16th in baseball, while Arizona, at 33.5 WAR, are 18th. Separated by 18 wins, the Giants and Diamondbacks are just 0.5 WAR apart. The Padres accumulated 22 WAR, for 28th in baseball.
The Rockies' high rating came as a result of their pitching staff, which graded out by WAR as the best in baseball, just barely ahead of the Red Sox. The Giants also had a strong pitching staff and were generally great at the whole run prevention deal with really good defenders as well. It's a good thing they could field because the Giants could not hit a lick. Their -121.1 runs to average ranked as baseball's worst group.
Here's a summary of the ranks for the NL West teams, with 2008 first.

Berry Tramel: NBA's small-market owners need to win
One day from the NBA lockout, and I'm like everyone else. Settle, settle, settle.
You've hooked us on the Thunder. We're in no mood to go into rehab. Not with this team.
But before we get too militant on demanding our basketball, let's put on the wide-angle lens.
An ownership victory in these labor negotiations would be good for Oklahoma City. A fundamental change in the NBA's economic model would help the Thunder's long-term viability.
The owners want a payroll cap, a hard cap, like the NFL's. That won't come easy. The NBA union appears entrenched against such a concession, though missed paychecks often make players rethink their position.
A payroll cap might actually hurt the Thunder in the short term. With this team of 22-year- (Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook) and 21-year-olds (James Harden, Serge Ibaka), Sam Presti would have to figure out all kinds of tricks to keep everyone on board with a hard payroll limit.
But long term, the Thunder is better off with a real cap, to keep franchises like the Lakers and owners like Mark Cuban from blank-check decision-making.
Payroll caps don't guarantee every franchise can compete. They do keep franchises from spending their way to victory.
The great constant in baseball is not that the Royals or Pirates will lose. Those teams lose because they are mismanaged. The great constant in baseball is that the Yankees and Red Sox will win. Foul up on personnel, and the Yanks and Red Sox just write a check.
You can't do that in the NFL. You can do it to a certain extent in the NBA, which has a flexible cap that some teams pay no mind to.
Now, we need to be careful about playing the little-guy card too much. Truth is, the Knickerbockers stink and have done so much of the last decade, despite playing in midtown Manhattan. The Warriors have wallowed for much longer than that, despite owning the Bay Area. The Celtics have had their low moments.
Meanwhile, the small-market teams have mostly competed well. San Antonio has four titles. Salt Lake City and Portland have been consistent NBA winners. Orlando went to two NBA Finals with completely different teams. Oklahoma City is off to a fine start.
Memphis and Sacramento have struggled, but still, that's not a bad track record for small markets. Just as good, in fact, as the NFL small markets.
The NFL has only two single-franchise markets. Both Green Bay and Jacksonville have produced consistently quality teams. But counting Buffalo and Nashville (which have only National Hockey League franchises in addition to football), the NFL small markets have fared no better than the NBA's.
And baseball is a shaky comparison, because baseball has no single-franchise markets and hasn't had one since the 1965 Milwaukee Braves.
But a hard payroll cap would improve NBA parity. It would keep Jerry Buss or Cuban from just spending like crazy.
Great example: the Thunder on Wednesday signed Nazr Mohammed to a contract and next season will pay its four big men (Nazr, Ibaka, Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins) about $15.3 million combined. The Lakers will pay center Andrew Bynum $15.1 million all by his lonesome.
So a hard cap would definitely be in the best interest of Clay Bennett, Presti and anyone else who wants to see a championship parade float down the Bricktown Canal some day.
But a hard cap will be hard-earned. The owners' negotiations have been ridiculous. The initial offer of a $45 million payroll cap per team, with no guaranteed contracts, was nothing but an insult. I don't see how the players could stand to be in the same room with David Stern after that.
The owners eventually have come up to a convoluted $62 million cap, but that's too low. I don't know why we can't compromise. Get into the $70 million range, and require teams to spend at least $60 million.
That's not the home run the owners sought, but this thing will be ended by compromise.
Oh well, back to the point. I'm generally on the players' side of things in sports labor disputes, but Oklahoma City — and our friends in San Antonio, Salt Lake, Orlando and the like — needs a management victory.
Maybe that can soothe our restlessness when autumn arrives with no NBA.

White Tea
WHAT IT IS: The rarest of teas, this usually comes from two regions in China and has a very brief picking season. It's a fragrant, almost colorless brew that's lighter-tasting and sweeter than green.
HOW IT'S MADE: It's unfermented, made from the unopened silver buds and outer leaf tips, which are simply air-dried. Since white is the least processed of all teas, it preserves the most antioxidants.
HOW IT'S BREWED: Heat the water as you would green tea, then steep one teaspoon per cup for 3 to 10 minutes.

Police: Fake trooper faces chargeAugust 27,2013READSBORO A Vermont man in an ongoing feud with his neighbor has been accused of leaving him a phone message in which he pretended to be a state trooper.
State police listened to the voice message left for 64-year-old Joseph Mangiacotti in Readsboro. They determined the caller was not a trooper.
They later traced it to 30-year-old Justin Gamache, his neighbor.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — After a 15-minute speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, potential 2016 presidential candidate and former Sen. Rick Santorum defended his freedom to act on his religious beliefs in the public square and asserted that a society that conforms to one set of secular ideas is a "dangerous thing."
After Santorum provided the audience with a heartfelt speech reasserting his desire to stabilize the economy, help the "little guy" and bomb ISIS back to the "seventh century," the 56-year-old was asked during a question-and-answer session how he would answer moderate Republicans who did not like the fact that he was a devout Roman Catholic.
Santorum, who ran in the Republican presidential primary in 2012, asserted that the Constitution protects his rights to act according to his faith in the public forum. more >>
"Confession is good for the soul," said Mark Twain, "but it's bad for the reputation." Candidate Barack Obama in 2008 confessed to his top advisor, David Axelrod, "I'm just not very good at bull____ing." Actually, he was very good at it. He told millions of Americans that he believed marriage was "a sacred union" between a man and a woman. He answered about marriage in Rick Warren's question famed Civic Forum, going even further to say that "God is in the mix."
Four years later, he claimed he had evolved. We've all seen those Darwin fish with feet bumper devices. Evolutionary biologists assure us that it took eons for those finny friends to develop into land roving quadrupeds. Not so, liberal politicians. They can shed old convictions and promises quicker than fishes can shed their scales.
TIME magazine provides this enlightening comment on David Axelrod's new memoir, Believer. more >>
The Rev. Franklin Graham, head of Samaritan's Purse and son of renowned evangelist Billy Graham, feels that other religions are being brought to the forefront in the U.S. while Christianity is being pushed back.
Graham appeared on WNCN News to discuss his recent comments on Duke University's decision to end its policy on having an Islamic call to prayer at the campus' Christian chapel.
He also stated that the U.S. is a nation 'built on Christian principles and that Americans need to embrace those principles. more >>
Muslim actor Haaz Sleiman, set to play the title role in National Geographic Channel's upcoming "Killing Jesus" miniseries, has responded to critics who've questioned the choice of casting by calling for tolerance. Sleiman added that it's an honor to play Jesus, and that he doesn't believe Jesus would judge him for taking on the role.
"In Islam, we believe Jesus is a prophet and respect Him and follow His teachings and put Him beside the prophet Muhammad — a lot of people don't know that," Sleiman said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "As a person who was raised Muslim, it's an honor to play that. … Personally, I've been heavily shaped by his teachings."
Speaking of some of the controversy attached to a Muslim actor playing the role of Jesus, he said he doesn't believe Christ would judge him. more >>
A Roman Catholic Church in Cardoba, Spain, which used to be a mosque, is facing a complaint from the regional government for attempting to distance itself from its Islamic past. Church officials have denied the accusations, however, and said that the Cordoba Cathedral continues to attract major tourist attention every year.
According to The Associated Press, Tourism Chief Rafael Rodriguez said church officials have been attempting to erase the cathedral's Islamic past on its website and on brochures, claiming that the move could hurt tourism to the area.
Denying the accusations, church officials noted that tourism to the region is growing, reaching over 1 million on an annual basis. more >>
A hilarious, and surprisingly inoffensive Saturday Night Live skit poking fun at characters one might meet at Christmas mass has "favorites" ranging from the friendly greeter with the oh-so-sweaty hands to the organist who can't quite find the right note.
The satirical advertisement for St. Joseph's church starts with this introduction: "It's Christmas and you know what that means: it's time for your annual trip to church with your parents. And you're in luck because this year St. Joseph's Church is going full throttle with our one-night only Christmas mass spectacular. We got appearances by all your church favorites."
The music changes from choral holiday music to a rock ballad as the narrator hypes up a somewhat ordinary service as the "Christmas Mass Spectacular." more >>

If you want to play Crysis with most of the detail set to the maximum, even at the cost of lowering the resolution a notch, you might as well forget about activating antialiasing with any of these cards (except the 3870 X2 at 1280x1024). In this context, the 9800 GTX again came out looking very good, since while in second position in all cases, it was just ahead of or behind the HD 3870 X2 - an achievement given its lower price. Still, without antialiasing, its lead on the 8800 GTS 512 MB reached 12%.

0fepple , 1 April 2008 23:00Still no reason to upgrade form an 8800 GT or GTS (512) though
DAMMIT need to pull their finger out, so Nvidia wont fob us of with the "upgrades" and get on with some new research!
0LukeBird , 1 April 2008 23:41The fact the review contains the addition of an LED on the PCB tells you all you need to know...
0Alash , 2 April 2008 00:09Unless being an audiophile or wanting to play games at highest resolution with AA on, I believe the performance recap tells you all your need to know. This may well not be a revolution, but it's good bang for the buck.
-1amd_fanboi , 2 April 2008 03:36WHAT! am i the only one who thinks this review is nothing but a load of rubbish?
this is nothing more than an overclocked 8800GTS 512...
shame on you, TH, for that terrible review.
0spuddyt , 2 April 2008 03:47what? why? they have to review it - and they tell us its more or less an OC'd 8800gts
0MinskUK , 2 April 2008 04:40For those who already have an 8800GTX or Ultra, it's about half as fast as desired and of no 'purchasing' interest whatsoever. For everyone else it looks like a well priced buy.
0waxdart , 2 April 2008 16:42I want a card that uses less power, makes less noise, costs a lot less and get great frame rates.
But; I like the heat mine kicks out as it keeps my feet warm in the winter. I'll need a cooler card summer maybe.
I'll not be getting a new gfx card for a few years, so the above may happen.
0cablestatic , 4 April 2008 04:33There's no doubt that it's a good value card, but it really does not warrant the GTX moniker. When the 8800GTX replaced the 7800GTX there was a significant increase in performance. The increase in performance from a standard 8800GTX and the 9800GTX is a bit of a joke. I'm running a BFG 8800GTX OC2 and the 9800GTX in no way attracts my attention. The 9800GTX may run cooler and quieter, but for those of us interested in best in class performance, these are not normally factors that would sway our buying decisions.
0Anonymous , 15 April 2008 19:50I have the new 9800 GTX and i have to say it is well worth the buy, it melts your face running everything on HD a really good card to buy
0Anonymous , 22 April 2008 15:55WATAFAK these cards have better performance with AA AF turned ON than without it?????? Where are we........
0parvu , 19 May 2008 05:56u just have to wait till the new comer 9900GTX and 9900GT is out

Carolina Montoya's family spent weeks at her hospital bedside, praying she would awaken from a coma after she was shot in the head.
Her father, Moises Montoya, would hold her hand and murmur, "Carol, do you hear me?"
Carolina Montoya, 24, would never recover from the gunshot and died Sept. 23, 1982, about a month after she was gunned down in White Center. The baby boy she was carrying also died after he was delivered by emergency Caesarean section two days after the shooting.
The man who police say was responsible for killing Montoya and firing at her friend was arrested last month in the Philippines and is expected to be extradited to Seattle, where he will be tried for murder.

Robert Besabe was arrested in the Philippines last month, and deportation proceedings began this week, according to The Manila Times. He was caught after trying to apply for a replacement passport at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors said Besabe, 48, disappeared after the killing of Montoya, a model who was about 10 weeks from delivering her son.
In the days after his daughter's death, Moises Montoya voiced disappointment in law enforcement for not finding Besabe.
"What I want is justice, I just want justice," Moises Montoya said in a 1982 interview with The Seattle Times. "If I only knew the place where he is, I'm willing to give up my life to get him."
Moises Montoya died in October 1988 in Seattle. His wife, Maria, has since moved to the Philippines, a man who answered the phone at her house said Tuesday.
Carolina Montoya was driving Eleanor Velasco home from work Aug. 16, 1982, when they stopped to give Besabe, Velasco's ex-boyfriend, a ride, court charging papers said. Shortly after getting into the car, Besabe demanded that Montoya stop the car and shot her once in the head. He fired once at Velasco but missed, court papers said.
He fled before he could be arrested.
Authorities believed Besabe blamed Montoya for breaking up his and Velasco's relationship.
In 1982, King County prosecutors charged Besabe with first-degree murder in Montoya's death and second-degree murder in the death of her son. In July 1984, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle charged him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, according to the FBI.
Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, said he didn't know how long it would take to bring Besabe back to the United States.
Seattle Times news researcher Miyoko Wolf contributed to this report.

"The colors (Reef) were bright, the lettering was gorgeous, and the photo we picked out was centered right where we wanted it. The material is on durable paper. Everything about this Save the Date card was done with perfection and detail. I love it, my fiance loves it, and my guests love it as well. The majority of our guests have complimented our selection saying how stunning and graceful it looks and resembles who we are. I couldn't be more happier. Can't wait to send our Invites from the same product."
"My fiance and I were very happy with the outcome of this product. We were a bit nervous because we had to scan in photos and hoped it didnt look blurry. But they turned out amazing!!! We are so happy and cant wait to send them out to our guest!!!"
"Save the Dates were absolutely beautiful! People keep telling me how much they love them. Fast delivery--the original order came 2 days early, however, it only had 20 of the 100 that I ordered. I called customer service and they were very helpful and sent the remaining save the dates overnight. I will definitely order invitations and thank you cards as well."

A free collection event next month invites residents to recycle their unused electronics or block foam, perhaps left over from this year's holiday gifts.
Participants can bring working or non-working electronics — though functioning equipment no more than five years old is preferred, according to Clark County Environmental Services. Televisions, computer monitors or microwaves will not be accepted, according to event organizers.
Block foam packaging must be clean and bagged or boxed to be accepted. That does not include yellow urethane foam, soft polypropylene foam, hot tub covers or packing peanuts, which will not be accepted, according to the county.
Local nonprofit Empower Up will accept the electronics and computers to refurbish for students and families in need. Portland-based Total Reclaim will grind and melt the block foam to be recycled.
The Jan. 5 event is open to Clark County residents only. Participants can bring items between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. to Fisher's Landing Transit Center, 3510 S.E. 164th Ave. in Vancouver.

Are Adolescent
Same-Sex Romantic Relationships
on Our Radar Screen?
Ritch C. Savin-Williams
Cornell University
Same-sex relationships have been stigmatized or ignored by social scientists, perhaps because they violate the cultural imperative to procreate and because they depart from sex-role expectations. Yet, romantic relationships are at least as developmentally significant to an adolescent who is attracted to same-sex individuals as they are to an adolescent who is attracted to different-sex individuals. Diamond (chap. 4, this volume) notes, "The average sexual-minority youth spends far more time ruminating about love and romance than about suicide, hate crimes, or homelessness, and they have nowhere to turn with their concerns. " When considering the multiple transitions that occur during adolescence for healthy development, love does not discriminate based on sexual orientation or the object of one's infatuation.
My task is to review how the present volume covers romantic relationships that include two adolescents of the same sex. A previous book on adolescent romantic relationships (Furman, Brown, & Feiring, 1999) integrates information about same-sex relationships in several chapters and includes a separate chapter discussing reasons investigators should be inclusive of sexual orientation issues. Given that most contributors in the present volume appear familiar with this collection and, therefore, the arguments about why same-sex romantic relationships ought not be ignored, and because several contributors are innovative thinkers, willing to set agendas, I anticipate that this volume will realize an inclusive approach to romantic relationships.

It's called a Run To Remember and on Saturday, dozens of people are remembering Sha Wetherington.
"She was outgoing, loveable; there was no one who ever met her that she didn't make an impact in their life," said Sha's sister Britney Mobley.
"if you were around her you were going to laugh, there's no doubt about it," added Don Pitts, a friend of Sha's.
Sha died in June 2011 in Brooks County. She was driving back from a job interview when she lost control of her car. Just days before her death, she talked to her mother about her plans for the future.
"She wanted to help her fellow man and she settled on going to Belize," said Mobley. "After her accident, my family decided we needed to honor that."
And that's exactly what they're doing. Proceeds from the race are going towards a mission trip to Belize to work with local orphanages there.
"It's something Sha would do herself for somebody else, so that's what makes it so neat," said Sha's former soccer coach, Ken Veilands.
Friends say events like Saturday's race help get them through the hard times.
"It's good to keep her memory going," said Pitts. "It makes me feel better just being out there to do things that some people can't do anymore."

Gymdynasty is designed as a college gymnastics recruiting tool. Through this website we hope to assist the gymnast in pursuing a college scholarship. Our goal is to help make this process less stressful and more informative for gymnasts and parents.
We begin by creating a timeline when the gymnast contacts us until the signing period. We breakdown what the gymnast will need to accomplish in practice, at competition, as well as academically keeping up with NCAA standards. Step by step instructions help make this process easier to understand for the gymnast and the parent(s).
We create individual websites that will showcase the gymnast's skills and accomplishments, and future potential. And will be used as a marketing tool for college recruiters.
GymDynasty will guide the gymnast through the NCAA rules and regulations. This is often the toughest part of the process. We break this step down by staying current with the NCAA code of points and recruiting rules.
We keep each website current and accessible to recruiters. We update them with accomplishments as well as new skills. We know that colleges are constantly receiving emails daily, so it is our job to make sure the website keeps the coaches informed and interested in the gymnast.
Please contact us at email@example.com to get started!

Mamoun has been working at a small supermarket for 4 years. He started his mini market business selling a small amount of foodstuffs. Then he expanded it over time.

About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.
