And methinks the one kid in the video is a little too much into the butt-slapping, probably. He's wearing No. 12, which that season was Kenny Lofton ... shouldn't he switch places with No. 2? Anyway, The Shot Heard Round The Leggo Box is also good (hmm, is that a row of Jar Jar Binkses in the stands?). My entry is going to be time-lapse photography of the growth of Barry's head (do not steal). Thanks go to Diamondhacks for the link.
• Seled With A Kiss. As mentioned above, Tom Glavine was all set to claim his 300th career victory, but as they say, Bullpen Happens. Glavine allowed two hits over 6-plus innings and left with a 2-1 lead, which New York relievers gave back in the eighth. Geoff Jenkins then hit a two-run homer off of Aaron Sele in the 13th to give the Brewers a 4-2 win. Next stop on the Glavine 300 Tour, Wrigley Field. The Cubs beat the Phillies 7-3 on Tuesday, Chicago remaining one game behind first-place Milwaukee in the Central.
• The Eyes Of Teixeira Are Upon You. So I suppose that we should all watch the top of the standings for Atlanta, suddenly Hotlanta after acquiring Mark Teixeira. The electricity was palpable (if electricity can be palpable) on Tuesday as Kelly Johnson had four hits, among them two homers, and five RBI to lead the Braves over the Astros 12-4. "It was kind of a buzz in here,'' Johnson said of the anticipation in the clubhouse for Teixeira's arrival. "You could feel it out there, too. It was a little bit of extra adrenalin. We're all excited.''
• Me No Understand Bizarro World. Brandon McCarthy, winless since May 27, beat 13-game winner Fausto Carmona in the Rangers' 3-1 triumph over the Indians.
• Oops, Sorry Mariners. Gary Matthews Jr. homered (!) as the Angels beat Seattle 8-0. Guess I picked the wrong week to declare the Mariners winners the AL West.

Swamp Thing (2005) Movie Review
Deep in Florida's darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barneau), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger and change civilisation forever. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan), is plotting to steal the serum for his own selfish schemes. Looting the lab and kidnaping Cable, Arcane douses Holland with the chemicals and leaves him for dead in the swamp. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes "Swamp Thing"-a half plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue the beautiful Cable and defeat the evil Arcane…even if it costs him his life!

Children left unrestrained; driver arrested
Published: Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 6:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 28, 2011 at 6:28 p.m.
A Gainesville woman who apparently has never had a driver's license was arrested Thursday for driving with three pre-schoolers in her car and none of them in a child seat, deputies said.
Alachua County sheriff's Lt. George Corwine said he pulled the woman over because she was not wearing her seatbelt. The woman, Shanite Ricks, 31, said she did not have her driver's license with her, according to Corwine. Corwine said she was unable to provide any registration for her car or proof of insurance.
Charges against Ricks included driving without a license, failing to wear her seatbelt and failing to have the children -- ages 3 years, 2 years, and 10 months -- properly restrained.
Ricks was taken to the Alachua County jail and the children were turned over to family members.

If you are a knucklehead, like the writer of this blog post, just please understand when we are unable to give you advice on modifying the equipment that we sell. When you choose the path of knuckleheadedness, you go it alone.
Sometime in the middle of Winter, I had this craving, as I often do, for meat on a stick. Specifically lamb with a Middle Eastern Marinade. I didn't act on it for a few weeks, but then I watched an episode of No Reservations where Anthony goes to Turkey. At that point the craving became a need, and I resolved to take care of it the next day. But I wanted to do these right, and even though I have always cooked on a gas grill, I really wanted to use charcoal with the never-used hibachi that I found in my garage when we moved in 10 years ago. The next day I bought my lamb, picked up a bag of our natural lump charcoal, made a marinade, and grilled on charcoal for the first time in at least 15 years. It was amazing. And now I cannot go back to gas.
I have been grilling on that little hibachi ever since, which is challenging considering I have a family of five. I needed something bigger. But I couldn't find a hibachi that was bigger, or a large grill that I wanted that was in my price range. And then, looking at my hibachi one day, it struck me that a hibachi is built a lot like a chafer. And I just happened to have a scratch and dent chafer that was a customer return that had been taking up room in my garage. Not only was it a chafer, but it was a big, fancy Supreme Roll Top chafer. I had tried giving it away to people, but it is too fancy for someone to want with a dent in it. So I resolved to turn this into to something useful--I resolved to make the World's Fanciest Hibachi Grill!
Doing so was incredibly simple. The first thing I did was remove the food pan and replace it with a 2.5" deep perforated pan to use as the charcoal holder. I then went to the big box store, and got an adjustable/universal grill grate. I also bought a new drill, and in doing so, I grunted with macho pleasure. Fortunately, I had a gift card. When I got home, I drilled a few 1/4" holes into the sides of the stainless steel water pan. This is not fun. You have to tap in some starter divots with a hammer and nail, and lube when you drill. I didn't have a vice (I am really not handy at all), so I had to use a cargo strap to secure the water pan to the bench. I actually had to sit down the upside down water pan on the bench when I was doing the hammering, which caused all my neighbors to come out and look at me very strangely. Luckily, I am used to it and I don't care. Once done, I put it all back together, and stretched the adjustable grate across, which just happened to fit perfectly.
One of my concerns with doing this is not being able to adjust the grate height. But with the extra space, I can adjust the coal height and that will work out fine. I can use the same amount of charcoal as my little hibachi, and still have room for some indirect grilling. What is more is that this has a dome cover, and the dome cover has holes in the sides to let out steam. But in what is now a grill, they work perfectly to allow in enough air to let the charcoal keep burning low, while smoke envelops the food. The pix that you see are the first meal: Steak and potatoes. But I cannot wait to try "Leaping Frog Chicken" on this thing, now that I have the room. And I cannot wait to put a few hickory chips in the water pan and see how that works out!

Grand jury clears Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater
State grand jurors on Thursday cleared Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater of any wrongdoing involving a 2006 victory party, and they condemned defense attorney Irven Box for making the allegations.
"I'm relieved," Prater said.
The multicounty grand jury did indict one person — possibly for perjury. The indictment will be made public later.
In a 25-page report, grand jurors called the accusations about Prater "unfair, untrue and unjust."
Grand jurors recommended Prater in the future let other prosecutors handle criminal cases against anyone who made a major donation to him to avoid having unjust allegations made about his conduct.
"It may be an act of some great personal, if not political courage, for a district attorney to prosecute the very persons who were important to him or her in accomplishing election to this very important public office," grand jurors reported.
"The grand jury, however, believes such courage is both unwise and unnecessary. ... The district attorney places himself or herself in a 'no win' situation in regard to the important and serious decisions that must be made in the presentation of every case. Every action undertaken by the district attorney under such circumstances may be subjected to second guessing that may lead to unfortunate, untrue and unfair allegations."
Prater, a Democrat, said he will strongly consider the grand jury's recommendation if "faced with this issue in the future."
Accusers' allegations
Prater's accusers claimed the victory party on Nov. 20, 2006, at the Cafe Nova, a swank Oklahoma City restaurant, was actually a postelection fundraiser. The accusers claimed an attorney, Lewis B. Moon, paid for the entire party — spending more than $12,000. The accusers claimed the expense was an illegal, excessive campaign donation.
The accusers alleged Prater later showed favoritism to Moon after charging Moon with being in actual physical control of a car while intoxicated.
The accusers also alleged Prater let campaign donations from two attorneys, Josh Welch and David Ogle, influence his prosecution of them in a bribery case.
Grand jurors rejected the accusations, specifically saying they identified the true sponsors of the 2006 victory party. Grand jurors reported Moon did not pay for the party. "Mr. Moon did not commit the felony crime of over-contribution to a campaign as alleged by others," the grand jury reported.
The grand jury reported Prater's accusers obtained a false statement from the restaurant owner and created a bogus invoice to make it look like Moon paid for the party.
Grand jurors blamed — but did not directly name — Box and a now-dead attorney, Joe Brett Reynolds, for making the accusations. Box was referred to in the report as Attorney A and Reynolds as Attorney B.
Grand jurors reported Box first sent a letter about Prater to Assistant Attorney General Robert Hudson in February 2011. The grand jurors noted Box and Reynolds at the time were representing former pharmacist Jerome Ersland in a murder case. The defense attorneys were seeking to have Prater removed from the case.
Ersland later was convicted at trial of first-degree murder for fatally shooting a wounded robber inside a south Oklahoma City drugstore.
Grand jurors reported Box was involved in the preparation of the false statement about the party from the cafe owner. Grand jurors reported Reynolds and the cafe owner, Wade Starr, "were plainly the source of the bogus 'invoice' that" Box sent to the attorney general's office.
Reynolds died in May of brain cancer.
The grand jury ended the report by criticizing the defense attorneys.
"More care to the cause of Justice is expected from legal professionals than was exercised here before making allegations as serious as these," the report states. "Such actions should never be undertaken, as the facts suggest in this case, in order to obtain some possible advantage for a client in a pending case. Such actions by members of the criminal defense bar are plainly far below any reasonable expectations of the public in regard to anyone who should be professionally dedicated to defending other persons accused of crimes.
"This is particularly true of Attorney A, who is a former police officer and former prosecutor."
Box, who is one of the best-known attorneys in Oklahoma City, testified Wednesday before the grand jury.
Told Thursday of the grand jury's criticism, Box said, "I think it's just a whitewash — prosecutors protecting prosecutors."
Attorney denies role
Box denied having a role in preparing the cafe owner's statement about Moon paying for the party. He has said in the past he believes the statement is true.
The grand jury noted that Prater in May voluntarily filed an amended campaign report reflecting the party as $10,000 in in-kind contribution from five sponsors. The grand jury noted Prater also has repaid some of the sponsors.
"We believe these actions were intended by Mr. Prater (to), and should, remove even the appearance of impropriety from this celebration party. We commend Mr. Prater for voluntarily undertaking these actions," the grand jury reported.

This project was designed to replace the Kosovo Food and Veterinary Agency's (KFVA) multiple redundant and inefficient veterinary and phytosanitary systems with a new, unified system that will ensure better information exchange and interception of animal and plant products.
The outcome of the activity will have a positive impact on international trade, specifically regarding easier and safer movement of goods with animal and plant origin.
EMPOWER Private Sector Support aims to increase competitiveness in growth-ready sectors and facilitate inclusive job creation, while also developing the capacity of local service providers to support the Kosovo private sector and respond to USAID contractor requirements.
USAID developed a loan portfolio guarantee to increase access to finance for Kosovo's micro, small, and medium enterprises in agricultural value chains, as well as business startups in all sectors. These guarantees give banks the incentive to lend to business startups and agribusinesses, especially young entrepreneurs and farmers, who would otherwise find it difficult or impossible to obtain financing, in order to demonstrate the potential profitability in these sectors. USAID is also working to assist Kosovo's financial sector to introduce new products tailored to meet the specific needs of start-ups and agricultural businesses.
The Development Credit Authority (DCA) loan portfolio guarantee aims to increase access to credit for Kosovo's agriculture sector by providing a 50% risk guarantee to loans issued by participating banks. The DCA guarantee gives banks the incentive to lend to farmers, who would otherwise find it difficult or impossible to obtain financing, in order to demonstrate their potential profitability.
Through the DCA, USAID is also assisting Kosovo's financial sector to introduce new products tailored to meet the needs of agricultural businesses throughout the agriculture value chains.
The Kosovo American Education Fund (KAEF) is a perpetual education fund dedicated to the economic development of Kosovo through the education of its people. KAEF supports educational programs that provide Kosovo's future leaders with the tools they need to promote the country's future prosperity.
The overall goal of this program is to strengthen linkages among citizens, political parties, and the Assembly to incentivize government bodies to be more responsive to public interests. To achieve this, the National Democratic Institute (NDI) has three mutually reinforcing objectives:
The Public Pulse II project is a continuation of Public Pulse (initially launched jointly with UNDP in 2010). This project will continue the work on research and analysis of pertinent issues as a watchdog that will constructively engage the Government of Kosovo and public institutions in research. The project is implemented in cooperation with Kosovo institutions to increase capacities for utilization of data and research methodologies for addressing problems and issues, as well as to assure stability and facilitate dialogue between institutions and citizens.
In a society segregated physically and psychologically by the legacy of conflict, through the National Democratic Institute (NDI), USAID is convening Kosovars of diverse ethnic backgrounds in purposeful dialogue about the issues that both divide and unite them to engender cooperation between communities on issues of shared concern and interest.
The program's main objectives are to:
The Kosovo is Ready project aims to support advocacy initiatives to protect the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, in both the public and private sectors, from discrimination and human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Consistent with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Foreign Assistance Strategy, it advances and protects the civil rights of LGBT individuals and works to prevent backsliding.
USAID's Property Rights Program (PRP) is a four-year initiative to improve the legal framework and institutional practices and procedures governing property rights, in order to make it easy and straightforward to acquire, register, use and transfer property in Kosovo. The program is working in close partnership with the Government of Kosovo, selected municipalities, and other relevant local and international stakeholders.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyHerman of Wharton and Chomsky of MIT lucidly document their argument that America's government and its corporate giants exercise control over what we read, see and hear. The authors identify the forces that they contend make the national media propagandisticthe major three being the motivation for profit through ad revenue, the media's close links to and often ownership by corporations, and their acceptance of information from biased sources. In five case studies, the writers show how TV, newspapers and radio distort world events. For example, the authors maintain that ``it would have been very difficult for the Guatemalan government to murder tens of thousands over the past decade if the U.S. press had provided the kind of coverage they gave to the difficulties of Andrei Sakharov or the murder of Jerzy Popieluszko in Poland.'' Such allegations would be routine were it not for the excellent research behind this book's controversial charges. Extensive evidence is calmly presented, and in the end an indictment against the guardians of our freedoms is substantiated. A disturbing picture emerges of a news system that panders to the interests of America's privileged and neglects its duties when the concerns of minority groups and the underclass are at stake.

I just cleaned a virus off a client's mother-in-law's computer. Once the virus was removed, no EXE files would run. The virus had inserted itself as the handler for .EXE in the registry, and once it was deleted the system would not run .EXE files any more.
I know that's not your symptom, but maybe it would be worth an in-depth check of the registry to see if any of the TCP, UDP or IP handlers are being re-directed. Like your problem, my client's system ran fine in safe mode.
The fix was easy; just merge a .REG file to patch the registry back the way it should be. It was a readily-available download, free.

For those needing insurance, the hits keep coming
Thanks to Obamacare, the hits keep coming for those needing insurance.
A newly released Oliver Wyman study conducted for America's Health Insurance Plans analyzes the impact of a new Obamcare tax on insurance. From 2014 to 2023, the report determined the tax would, averaged nationally, increase the cost of premiums by an aggregate $2,171 to $2,794 for single contracts and $5,140 to $7,186 for family contracts.
The report includes calculations for two scenarios. One model assumes the tax does not cause more businesses to become self-insured, which would avoid the tax, and the other assumes a shift occurs.
In Oklahoma, the report predicts the aggregate tax will total roughly $1.2 billion from 2014 to 2023. It would boost Oklahoma small-group family policies as much as an aggregate $7,748 during that time frame. About 40 percent of state policies would be impacted by the tax, based on current figures.
Obamacare supporters often note specific components of the law poll well — but this provision probably isn't one of them. The insurance tax has been targeted for repeal and legislation to spike it already has 226 cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives (enough to guarantee majority support and passage) and 24 Senate cosponsors. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, and all five Oklahoma congressmen are co-sponsoring the bill.
Obamacare, ironically dubbed the "Affordable Care Act" in its formal title, contains numerous provisions that actually increase the cost of insurance, often to fund consumer subsidies made necessary because ... well, because the law increases the cost of insurance.
The flaws in this Rube Goldberg device are more apparent by the day. It's not far-fetched to think the whole thing will collapse under its own weight, and the only certainty about the law is that legislators will be constantly trying to fix this "fix" for health insurance for years to come.

hi everyone. someone broke into our apartment building last night with a screwdriver and walked off with my orange fixie and my girlfriend's white geared bike out in the hallway. we live in the ft. greene/clinton hill area, so if any of you out there could keep an eye out for our dearly departed babies and PM me if you see them anywhere, we'd really appreciate it. descriptions are below...
my orange bike: orange bianchi touring frame with all blue components. the bianchi decals are all gone, though. fixed, ny mets decal on the front of the seat tube, #45 on the back of the seat tube, bianchi "rollo" headbadge. pictures: http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2005...MarkBoling.htm only difference is that it's a little more scratched up and instead of having handlebar tape, it now has blue rubber grips, and the black toe clips on the pedals are steel and silver with black straps.
lindsay's white bike: white nycbikes cyclocross frame, mustache bars with tan bar tape and bar-end shifters, 18 gears, black rear fender, black seat with a V with bat wings on the front of it, suspension seatpost, nycbikes sticker on the bottom of the downtube, wide hybrid tires. i know she has some pics, but i'm not sure where they are. in the meantime, here's a pic from the nycbikes site:
we'd really appreciate any info or sightings, and for our part, we'll just try not to stab anyone in the throat in the next couple days.

TeX Live is an easy way to get up and running with the TeX document production system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux, and also Windows. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free software, including support for many languages around the world.
Some starting points for actually using TeX are in this introduction to the TeX world.
Plan for TeX Live 2016:
4mar: sources committed, builds begin.
4apr: tlnet (and TL'15) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates continue there.
8may: complete code freeze for final build.
18may: final updates from CTAN, final doc tweaks.
22may: deliver TL image for TeX Collection packaging/testing.
4jun: deliver TeX Collection DVD image for manufacturing.
8jun: public release (also of MacTeX).
July?: delivery of DVDs to members.
TeX Live has been developed since 1996 by collaboration between the TeX user groups. TeX Live was originally perpetrated by Sebastian Rahtz. Present miscreants include Akira Kakuto, Karl Berry, Luigi Scarso, Norbert Preining, Reinhard Kotucha, Siep Kroonenberg, Staszek Wawrykiewicz, and a cast of thousands.
Peter Breitenlohner passed away in October 2015. Peter was one of the foremost contributors to the TeX world for decades: he was the primary developer of e-TeX, dvicopy, and other programs, and in recent years, almost single-handedly kept the sources in TeX Live updated, integrating new versions and whole new libraries, reporting bugs, and so much more.
Sebastian Rahtz passed away in March 2016. He was the originator of TeX Live, among much other work with TeX at many levels for many years. He was involved with the UK TeX Archive, which led to CTAN, from which emerged TL. Later, he worked on XML and TEI, including some TeX integration efforts which survive today.
We miss you, Peter and Sebastian.

Strong headwinds, violent rainstorms and construction detours made for a long day of bicycling Sunday.
Bethany Catlin was in the first full day of her plan to bicycle to Minnesota. After a relatively simple send-off, the enormity of what she was trying to do came into focus.
But overcoming obstacles is something Catlin relishes.
The Franklin teen has been dealing with juvenile arthritis for the past five years. Joint pain hasn't prevented her from playing the marimba and piano, performing in the marching band and cycling.
To help raise awareness and money for juvenile arthritis research, Catlin is spending a week traveling more than 700 miles. She is being escorted by her father, Dan, who will provide mechanical help and a guide as they make their way to Minneapolis.
Bethany Catlin refuses to let juvenile arthritis limit her life. She hopes her bicycle trip will serve as an example to other juvenile arthritis patients.
"Why should I have to deal with this stupid disease and let it limit what I want to do and stop me from reaching my full potential," she said. "This trip is a battle against this and a way to show other kids with arthritis that it doesn't have to be something to rule your life."
Catlin discovered she had juvenile arthritis on her 12th birthday. Her finger had become swollen and inflexible, but doctors were unable to figure out what was causing the pain.
After seeing a rheumatologist, who specializes in diseases of the joints, muscles and bones, arthritis was determined to be the cause. She said she was well aware she was being diagnosed with a disease associated with older adults.
With anti-inflammatory medication, Catlin can control the disease. She is able to perform on the marimba in the Franklin marching band and tries not to let it prevent her from doing the activities she loves.
"Arthritis is something I need to be a little bit afraid of because I don't want to do permanent damage to my joints," she said. "I don't want to overreach myself. To me, that's almost more motivation to do something like this."
An 'epic adventure'
The idea for a long bicycle trip was born in the waning days of her junior year at Franklin Community High School. In the shuffle of deciding where to go to college, Catlin felt the need to take what she called an "epic adventure."
"Sometimes, it's awfully hard to understand the world from the perspective as a teenager in America who goes to public school and basically has most things thought out for them," she said. "This is something that steps outside of the scope of what is easy and what is known."
From the start, her parents, Dan and Tauria Catlin, were supportive. Dan Catlin is an avid cyclist who wanted to lend her the logistical support she needed. He could help her fix flat tires and other mechanical issues, be safe on sometimes busy highways and find hotels to sleep at for the night.
"If there are kids out there who are suffering, and they meet her, maybe they're inspired to not let what's ailing them get them down. That's a win for us," Dan Catlin said.
The Catlin family regularly goes for leisurely bicycle rides, but this would be the most intensive trip that Bethany Catlin has ever taken.
To get ready, her father set a series of weekly riding goals to reach. Training has lasted all summer.
She had to reach 100 miles, then she had to be able to do two 60-mile rides back-to-back. Bethany Catlin also completed the Ride Across Indiana, a 160-mile trek through the middle of the state, in July. During a family trip to Michigan, she completed daily rides of more than 40 miles through the forests along Lake Michigan.
'It kind of blew up'
They planned the Minnesota trip as an extended college visitation. Their route would take them from downtown Franklin to the University of Indianapolis and Butler University. She will see Valparaiso University and the University of Chicago. The ride concludes at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
"If we were going to be doing this trip to Minnesota, we thought it would be a good idea to see some colleges on the way," she said.
Since the start of the trip, Bethany Catlin has kept a blog and hoped that word-of-mouth would help draw attention. She wanted to use the ride as a way to raise money for the Arthritis National Research Foundation.
But as her departure date approached, the ride received more and more interest, as well as donations. The campaign has raised more than $2,000.
"All of the sudden, it kind of blew up. I've been trying not to brag about it, but people from all over are asking about it," Bethany Catlin said.
As they left Franklin on Saturday morning, they carried only light bags filled with three sets of jerseys and bike shorts. Easy-to-eat snacks were included for late-day energy boosts, and sweatpants and T-shirts for after the day's ride is over.
Arrival set for Sunday
The trip will take her through Indiana cornfields, the bustle of Chicago and the forests and lakes of Wisconsin. They have planned to follow bike trails and back roads in order to stay off as many busy streets and highways as possible.
The plan is to arrive in Minneapolis on Sunday, where Tauria Catlin and Bethany's little sister, Zoe, will meet them. They'll drive home, getting back in Franklin the day before Bethany Catlin starts her senior year.
As the first few days of the ride have taught Bethany Catlin, the route will come with its unexpected delays, sore muscles and setbacks.
But she's determined to finish and hopes that her ride will motivate others to take their own adventure.
"Maybe someone else realizes they want to do some epic trip," she said. "I just hope that people can find inspiration and comfort that no disease gets to control you. If you decide you want to do something, you can do it."

She sells drinks: Primus beer, Mutzig beer, and Fanta (orange soda), etc. She displays her products in front of the shops of friends and acquaintances (on the roadside, at the Signers traffic circle) to be sold wholesale and sometimes, out of her home, retail. She began her little business with her own money, received from her father-in-law as a form of assistance. Her initial working capital amounted to $20, or the price of two cases of Primus beer. She has been in this business for 16 years. This new loan will allow her to buy 33 cases of Fanta and Primus.
She hopes to see her children grow up comfortably and to expand her business. This client thanks Hekima for its efforts on behalf of poor women who are excluded from conventional banking services.
La cliente Baseme, leader du groupe d'affaire «Umoja Kibabi », est jeune entrepreneur, âgée de 37 ans, mariée, mère de 5 enfants tous étudient convenablement. Son mari est chômeur (sans emploi). En dehors de ses enfants légitimes, elle héberge également 4 autres enfants de sa famille élargie (cousin, neuve, voisin du village). Elle est vendeuse des boissons (bière Primus, Mutzing et Fanta, etc.). Elle expose ses produits devant des boutiques des amis et connaissances (sur la voie publique, rond point Signers) pour la vente en gros et parfois à son domicile c'est la vente en détails. Elle a commencé son petit commerce avec son fonds propre reçu de son beau père sous forme d'assistance. Son capital initial était 20$ équivalent aux deux caisses de la bière Primus. Il y a 16 ans qu'elle exerce cette activité. Ce nouveau crédit doit lui servir de s'approvisionner avec 33 casiers de Fanta et Primus.
Elle souhaite voir ses enfants grandir confortablement et agrandir son entreprise. La cliente remercie Hekima pour ses actions en faveur de pauvres femmes exclues de banque classique.

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.

"Venice, the Florida's Jewel" Top 5 Page for this destination Venice by Tolik
Venice Travel Guide: 52 reviews and 85 photos
Venice, a beautiful town on the Gulf of Mexico, is our favorite place in Florida. She is known for its Historic Main Street district built in the Mediterranean style. Five major public beaches, over a dozen public parks with tropical trees and the breathtaking gulf views will capture your heart.
Gorgeous beaches, a cultural district, and a wealth of recreational opportunities combine to make Venice one of the best communities in Florida to visit. Set in an idyllic subtropical landscape and shrouded in almost eerie calm, Venice is just 77 miles south of Tampa off Interstate 75, and only 2 hours from the theme parks of Orlando.
Venice?s historic district is filled with amazing Mediterranean Revival and Northern Italian buildings, charming antique stores, restaurants and coffeehouses. You will enjoy local arts visiting a Community Theater, the Art Center, and the Symphony Orchestra.
Venice enjoys an average annual temperature of 75 degrees F (23? C). With miles of coastline and shimmering Gulf of Mexico waters, Southwest Florida has the best beaches in the world (according to the Oceanographic Institute). Recreational options range from golf and tennis to water activities and professional sports. There are plenty of accommodation choices as well ? you can rent a house or stay at one of the RCI resorts (there are 41 resorts within 50 miles radius). The Venice?s amenities make this lovely subtropical town a great place for visitors and residents alike.
The Venice?s gorgeous beaches are also good for shell collecting and ancient sharks teeth hunting (the city?s nickname is the Shark Teeth Capital of the World). Our favorite beaches are Brohard, Caspersen and North Jetty Park).
Use Venice as your base for exploring this amazing area. Visit the Warm Mineral Springs, the only mineral spring resort in Florida (14 miles from Venice). Its water has more mineral content than any spring in the USA (even more than the Hot Springs in Arkansas).
Explore Sarasota, the cultural capital of Florida (15 minutes away by car), with gems like the magnificent Ringling Museum of Art, the very fine Asolo Center for the Performing Arts and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, two film festivals, a ballet company, and an opera house. In addition, vacationers can visit beautiful Mary Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, amazing Mote Marine Laboratory and more. The Sarasota County area offers an array of cultural venues unprecedented for a community its size.
- Pros:Gorgeous beaches, a cultural district, and a wealth of recreational opportunities
- In a nutshell:A beautiful town on the Gulf of Mexico

Ron Vlaar
Name:Ron Vlaar
Date of Birth:16/02/1985
Height:6' 2" (189cm)
Weight:12st 6lbs (79.0kg)
Previous Clubs:AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar, AZ Alkmaar
The Dutchman began well, impressing alongside Philippe Senderos in the early weeks of the campaign.
But a troublesome calf injury kept him out for prolonged spells throughout the season.
He missed blocks of matches and Villa were thankful for the form of Ciaran Clark and Jores Okore during these periods.
His standout matches were undoubtedly in the closing weeks of the season.
Vlaar was man of the match in the 1-0 victory at Tottenham and also impressed in the 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool.
He was strong and sturdy in the vital double header against Everton and West Ham - which saw Villa pick up a vital six points in their survival fight.
Vlaar's season - which saw nine ever-present games in succession - ended in a 4-0 loss in the FA Cup final to Arsenal - although he and Okore earned praise from boss Tim Sherwood for their resolute defending.
Vlaar, from Hensbroek in Holland, joined Villa in August 2012.
He followed fellow Eredivise stars Karim El Ahmadi and Brett Holman in heading to B6.
The commanding centre-half was a cult hero at Feyenoord before his move to Villa.
Concrete Ron was appointed captain at Villa soon after his arrival although he's been succeeded by Fabian Delph this past season.

Hello all, today i present to you my hack project. I saw that almost all hacks that were started here died. I wanted to make my own hack to offer to the community. I decided to start by gathering a team of devoted helpers. I always wanted to produce a very good hack that members would enjoy playing and that won't die. That's the main reason i am here.
Pokemon : The Legend of Azeon
Hack of Fire Red
In the region of Azeon, there was said to have two legendary guardians: the Evil Guardian Giratina and the Purity Guardian Lugia. Long ago, the leader of Team Destroyer, an evil organization that wanted to take over the world, decided to search after the Guardian of Evil to help him. After finding it, he decided to summon the legendary. But, the pokémon was way too strong for the leader to contain it. It then escaped and began to destroy cities. This awakened Lugia who came to the League Champion and helped him. Along with Lugia, the Champion fought Giratina with all his might and closed this pokémon in the Hollow World who was an alternate dimension who contained all the evil pokémon. After Lugia gave the Champion a special spell to summon whenever he needed help.
Team Destroyer reformed itself with the help of the grandson of the previous leader. They created a device who would help them gain the control over Giratina. They now decided to search for the portal who leads in the Hollow World.
*I know what you guys are telling yourselves. Where is the player? There is the answer.*
The player is the son/daughter of a former member of Team Destroyer who lost both his parents in the fight of Giratina against Lugia. He was raised by his aunt. He grew up, despising the Champion and when he heard that Team wanted to recruit new grunts, he decided to prove himself worthy of their trust by becoming stronger and beating the gym leaders. He found a wounded Riolu on his path and captured him. After he healed the pokémon, he began his quest. More to come...
-New region : Azeon
-NPCs icon in message box
-New battle system graphics(not 100% sure)
-Custom menu

APR suddenly a factor for SDSU basketball
Academic Progress Rate
SDSU's APR scores in men's basketball (as reported in four-year averages):
2005-06: 927
2006-07: 929
2007-08: 916
2008-09: 921
2009-10: 938
(The NCAA is expected to announce scores for the 2010-11 season next month.)
San Diego State plays USC in men's basketball next season, and USD, CSU, BSU and UNM.
But an equally formidable three-letter opponent in coming years may be something else: APR.
It stands for Academic Progress Rate, and it is one of those numbers churned out by the NCAA each spring that was regularly greeted with a shrug and a scratch of the head. Few understood it, and few cared to. Or had to.
Then the NCAA, with the muscle of the U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, put some teeth into APR, enough that one of the nation's most storied college basketball programs is banned from the Big East and NCAA tournaments next season. UConn enlisted the help of several Congressmen in its appeal for a waiver; the NCAA refused to budge. The 2011 national champs are out.
"If a coach says he's not concerned about (APR)," SDSU's Steve Fisher said recently, "he's probably not being truthful. Everybody is aware."
The Aztecs have never been afoul of APR in men's basketball in its current form and are eligible for the 2012 postseason. But the minimum levels are quickly rising, and many schools – SDSU included – may find themselves filling sandbags.
What that means to coaches: Be careful who you recruit, no matter how talented, because an ill-timed academic casualty could sink you.
What that means to fans: Your team might not take that five-star center with a shaky academic record.
In other words, Norvel Pelle.
The 6-foot-11 post from Compton was rated the nation's top center in the high school class of 2011 and No. 23 prospect overall by Rivals.com, and he initially signed a letter of intent with St. John's. The NCAA Clearinghouse never approved him academically and Pelle ultimately de-committed, spending the year bouncing from prep academy to prep academy. At last check he was reportedly taking online classes while continuing to seek academic clearance from the NCAA.
Pelle has expressed interest in SDSU, attended games at Viejas Arena and even made an unofficial visit to campus. And the Aztecs recently gained another scholarship for next season and could use another big body inside.
An undeniable talent. An unmitigated risk.
NCAA rules preclude Fisher from speaking about specific recruits, but he did discuss APR and recruiting in general terms during a wide-ranging interview earlier this spring.
"It absolutely impacts recruiting nationwide," Fisher said. "That is now something else that has to go into the equation when you recruit, without a shadow of a doubt."
The official definition of APR by the NCAA is a "term by term measure of eligibility and retention for Division I student-athletes that was developed as an early indicator of eventual graduation rates."
The formula works like this: Each scholarship athlete can accumulate two points per semester, one for staying in school and one being academically eligible. You divide your actual points by total available points, then multiply by 1,000. A 925 score theoretically is the equivalent of a 50-percent graduation rate.
The NCAA calculates APR as a four-year average, and schools with poor scores used to get two years to fix things before the draconian step of a postseason ban. The significance of the recent changes is the two-year safety net was removed and the minimum score was elevated.
The new rules are being phased in over three years, but beginning with the 2015-16 season you need a four-year APR score of 930 or higher, or else. In 2014-15, it's 930 over four years or 940 over the most recent two years; for the next two seasons it's 900 over four years or 930 over two. (UConn missed both targets.)

Smith 25 of 35 passing for 268 yards and three touchdowns."You look at what he did, there weren't a lot of times where we weren't draped all over the guy that he was trying to throw the football to." Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. "When the play was there to be made, they made it. And obviously, the crucial situations we talked about were going to be the difference in the game. That's when they want the ball in his hands. And he was an immense challenge for us to play against."

BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna is expected to announce his candidacy for Washington governor at a Wednesday night event at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, where he went to school.
If elected McKenna would be the state's first GOP governor since John Spellman left office in 1985.
The 48-year-old McKenna was first elected attorney general in 2004 after serving on the King County council.
His advisers would only say that McKenna planned a "major announcement." The word that it's the governor's race comes from two Republicans who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt McKenna.

Few cities can hold a candle to Edinburgh when it comes to tales of ghouls and grotesques. It might stand high and handsome in the postcard stakes but it's also renowned as one of the most haunted places in Europe, with a history rich with intrigue, hardship and good old-fashioned horror. We take a walk through the city's backstreets and dungeons to dig up the richest treats on offer for ghost-hunters.

This marks the first time in two years that the temperature slipped below the 20 degree mark.
Valdosta recorded a low temperature of 23, while Perry hit 20, and even Apalachicola got down to 25. Bainbridge was one of the warmer spots. They only recorded a low of 28.
The coldest temperature reported was from a viewer in O'Brien, with a low of 15 degrees.
Meteorologist Ray Hawthorne says the colder-than-average weather will last through Monday before much warmer temperatures arrive for the rest of next week.

Analytical ServicesAiming at first-class quality control for the manufacture of the client's or our own products a pool of bio-analytical expertise and excellence has evolved over the years. Translating scientific concepts into valid routine assays is the core theme in this area. Similar to process development for product manufacturing, the generation of a qualified and validated assay is accompanied by many obstacles that had never been an issue for scientists in a non-GMP/GCLP laboratory, but become critical once the assay is used for collection of data concerning efficacy or quality of active biopharmaceutical ingredients (bio APIs). Glycotope's know-how in this field reflects a proven track record in bio-analytical method development, qualification, validation and routine application. Facilities and all instrumentation is qualified in compliance to good control laboratory practice, GCLP. The results of the analysis and our reports are accepted by regulatory authorities worldwide. The established quality system follows the principles:
- well-trained personnel
- traceable receiving, storage and analysis of samples
- use of controlled and traceable materials
- qualified analytical procedures accompanied by product specific validation
- qualified, calibrated equipment and instrumentation
- adequate procedure documentation, protocols and reports
- change control system and quality risk management
- document archiving as required

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
Like a swiftly-moving river races to the sea, time rushes toward the future. However, time also gets caught in eddies and whirlpools, recycling the present moment into the past. Mars retrogrades back into emotionally intense Scorpio today, reactivating issues we thought were over. Although the logical Aquarius Moon enables us to intellectually process the return of old experiences, her square with mental Mercury can make communication difficult.

Every year she somehow finds a way to outdo herself, and Heidi Klum accomplished her mission yet again over the weekend with her 2015 Halloween Party.
The German goddess got all gussied up as the uber-sexy Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," complete with prosthetic breasts and a ravishing red cocktail gown. Klum told press, "I'm feeling sexy today. The transformation started at noon. I literally finished and got right over here."
He's one of the most beloved creative forces in Hollywood as of late, and Ryan Murphy was saluted by a bevy of beautiful babes at last night's (October 29) amfAR Gala in Los Angeles.
There was no shortage of eye candy at last night's (October 26) 2015 InStyle Awards, given that models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr were in the house.
Always easy on the eyes, Alessandra Ambrosio has a whole new lineup of gorgeous bathing suits on deck for the Spring/Summer 2015 season.
In her new Ale by Alessandra campaign, the Brazilian stunner shows off her flawless figure with both day a night shoots on the beach.
It's one of the most anticipated collaborations of the Fall 2015 season and last night (October 20) Balmain x H&M launched the ultimate collection in New York City.
Never one to miss out on a swanky shindig, Alessandra Ambrosio sauntered over to Laperouse restaurant to celebrate the Balmain Spring/Summer 2016 Paris Fashion Week presentation last night (October 1).
It's not uncommon to see one or two supermodels mixed in at Paris Fashion Week presentations, but Olivier Rousteing managed to snag eight top posers for his show for H&M this week.
It's become a seasonal tradition for lingerie lovers the world over, and the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is coming back to New York City this winter!
Earlier today (October 1) the popular brand announced that this year's extravaganza will air on December 8th at 10:00pm on the CBS Network.

short for VHF omnidirectional radio range, is a type of radio navigation system for aircraft. A VOR ground station broadcasts a VHF radio composite signal including the station's identifier, voice (if equipped), and navigation signal. The identifier is morse code. The voice signal is usually station name, in-flight recorded advisories, or live flight service broadcasts. The navigation signal allows the airborne receiving equipment to determine a magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft (direction from the VOR station in relation to the Earth's magnetic North at the time of installation). VOR stations in areas of magnetic compass unreliability are oriented with respect to True North. This line of position is called the "radial" from the VOR. The intersection of two radials from different VOR stations on a chart provides the position of the aircraft.
Developed from earlier Visual-Aural Range (VAR) systems, the VOR was designed to provide 360 courses to and from the station, selectable by the pilot. Early vacuum tube transmitters with mechanically-rotated antennas were widely installed in the 1950s, and began to be replaced with fully solid-state units in the early 1960s. They became the major radio navigation system in the 1960s, when they took over from the older radio beacon and four-course (low/medium frequency range) system. Some of the older range stations survived, with the four-course directional features removed, as non-directional low or medium frequency radiobeacons (NDBs).
A worldwide land-based network of "air highways", known in the US as Victor airways (below 18,000 feet) and "jetways" (at and above 18,000 feet), was set up linking VORs. An aircraft can follow a specific path from station to station by tuning the successive stations on the VOR receiver, and then either following the desired course on a Radio Magnetic Indicator, or setting it on a Course Deviation Indicator (CDI, shown below) or a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI, a more sophisticated version of the VOR indicator) and keeping a course pointer centered on the display.
Presently, due to advances in technology, many airports are replacing VOR and NDB approaches with RNAV (GPS) approach procedures; however, receiver and data update costs[1] are still significant enough that many small general aviation aircraft are not equipped with a GPS certified for primary navigation or approaches.

Substandard tuberculosis drugs sold by pharmacies in poor countries are a growing public-health threat, but the problem could be alleviated if governments enforced World Health Organization (WHO) standards, a new study reports.
At pharmacies in 17 countries, the authors bought 713 samples of two TB drugs, the antibiotics rifampin and isoniazid. Nine percent had no active ingredient or, worse, too little: An inadequate dose encourages the growth of drug-resistant TB strains while also failing to cure the patient.
The study, published online by PLOS Medicine, shows the failures in what should be a nearly perfect system for basic TB control, said Dr. Lucica Ditiu, executive secretary of the Stop TB Partnership.
That partnership, which is affiliated with WHO, supplies a packaged, six-month supply of high-quality drugs at about $30 a box. Poor countries get them free, middle-income countries pay on a sliding scale, and the U.S. is negotiating to buy them to cover spot shortages, Ditiu said.

- Redmond shoplifting spree goes awry when thief hits wife with truck, charges say
Most Read Stories
Ideally, said Amir Attaran, a drug-counterfeiting expert at the University of Ottawa and an author of the study, all countries would buy the partnership's drugs, and governments would ban sales of those drugs for other purposes.
"But that's not what happens," Attaran said. Not all countries follow the WHO regimen, not all doctors prescribe the drugs in it, "and in private pharmacies, all bets are off," he added, since some will sell anything to any buyer, with or without a prescription.
Even poor countries such as Rwanda have shown they can control TB by enforcing "pharmacovigilance," the study said. Attaran and Ditiu cited India as a country that conspicuously fails to enforce it and so is facing a huge epidemic of multidrug-resistant TB.

Her new role will become full time when the school year ends. It will involve marketing, fundraising and handling the day to day operations of the SVYS.
The organization provides orchestral instruction to area youth, as young as 3rd grade.
"Starter Strings is unique in that we go to the local elementary schools. We have teachers we hire to go to the schools once a week," Pressly said. A class also meets at the Hoogland Center for the Arts for home schooled students.
Classes continue into high school and a community orchestra also is available for adults.
A trivia night that helps offset costs for the group will take place this Saturday night at the Hoogland. Details available at the SVYS website.
'We have strong band and choir programs here in our area, but we do not have orchestra programs unfortunately. That was how our organization was born. And we really feel that it's important to keep that alive and keep providing these experiences for the kids," she said.
