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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

The FPGA supplier is looking to promote the use of its Spartan and Virtex products in a wider range of industrial applications such as motor control.
It has adopted a higher performance systems architecture based on the 32 to 128-bit Processor Local Bus (PLB), a component of the IBM CoreConnect bus standard.
There is also a new 32-bit MicroBlaze softcore processor which will have for the first time a configurable memory management unit (MMU) and support for a commercial-grade Linux OS.
LynuxWorks has announced BlueCat Linux v2.6 support for the MicroBlaze processor as well as the PowerPC 405 processor embedded in Virtex-4 FX devices.
"We have identified an opportunity for a configurable processor design for use in industrial applications," said Paul Evans, marketing manager at Xilinx.
With MicroBlaze v.7 Xilinx has also included new instructions to boost performance of the processor's floating point unit.
The scalable PLB architecture can be configured for both shared and point-to-point connections to memory controllers. It also supports full duplex DMA engines.
There are also new IP cores for the CAN, MOST, and Flexray communications standards used in automotive designs. There is support for trimode Ethernet MAC and PCIe peripherals.
Support for TCP/IP networking at 495Mbit/s means that target applications for MicroBlaze v.7 are likely to include bus controllers for video networking and security systems. "The sweet spot for us is providing system level configuration in these industrial applications," said Evans.

I've seen people trolling in front of the green tank, also several bankies there also.
I have a couple questions for those that are locals or fish yaquina a lot.
I always go up there mid august thru mid setember crabbing and have rarely ever seen anyone trolling for salmon from lets say the water tank to the mouth. is there a reason why no one trolls that area for salmon?
I was there one sunday a couple years back and had some left over herring from the previous days trolling down south and figured I would pull herring while my crab traps soaked and nailed a nice 30 lb chinook but the more I looked around I noticed that I was the only person fishing salmon. those salmon have to go thru there so there has to be a reason people just dont fish that area for salmon.
anyone with any ideas as to why ?
I've seen people trolling in front of the green tank, also several bankies there also.
I'd rather be in the boat, with a drink on the rocks,:dance: than in the drink, with a boat on the rocks:think:
I fish from infront of the coast gaurd station to the tank...If you find that 20 ft mark just about 20ft behind the green bouy in front of the coast gaurd station and follow that water depth to the tank you will get fish. Lots of blue label size herring come in on the tide and the nooks with 'em. I generally start mooching herring in there around the 4th of july and it will produce all this month on high tide...good luck
Dont the sea lions bother you over there? I crabbed that side once and them suckers were trying to climb in my boat to get at my bait. it wasnt a very comfortable feeling. I caught my fish on the marina side just up river from the 101 bridge in about 25 ft of water
Try up river, put in at sawyers, or ask around there I've seen alot of peeps come in there from up river. Check it out, I've seen alot more fishes taken from up river than down, close to the mouth. Going myself mid sept. Have now got a trolling boat so I'm going to be checking it out also. Good luck!
I'd rather be in the boat, with a drink on the rocks,:dance: than in the drink, with a boat on the rocks:think:
The jetty seems like another bottleneck which salmon & steelhead must cross in order to reach the coastal rivers that we all know and love. But what if you don't have access to a boat? What fishing techniques would you use to catch salmon from the jetty?
years ago we used to cast pink and white nordics from the jetties in florence and get them as they flushed in and out.
i am not sure if they would still hit a nordic or not , but i am sure you could easily figure out something they would hit.
I would think you could rig up a line like your going to drift fish and cast a coyote spoon in chartruce and green maybe.

Michelle-O-Gram program can help women get mammograms
Published: Monday, August 1, 2011 at 2:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 1, 2011 at 2:49 p.m.
Carla Strickland was obviously nervous as she arrived Friday at Advanced Imaging Center's mammography facility on Southeast 17th Street. Approximately a month ago, Strickland underwent a mammogram, but because the results were inconclusive, additional breast X-rays were needed.
If you go
WHAT: Fishing for the Fight Tournament with proceeds to benefit Michelle-O-Gram
WHEN: Saturday, Aug. 6
WHERE: TJ's Bait & Tackle, 21121 West Highway 40, Dunnellon
COST: $100 for two-man boat
CONTACT: For the tournament, 817-1071, 465-7332, Its tinypic.com website or find it on Facebook; for Michelle-O-Gram, 489-2121, 895-9414 or find on Facebook.
Strickland, 45, said she has had several mammograms in previous years and the results always came back fine the first time, so she thought there must be something must be wrong this time. Good or bad, she said, she will be relieved to know the results.
Mammography supervisor Kandi Ellzey said repeat mammograms are common and "usually, it's nothing serious."
Tamyra Bowen, the center's practice administrator, said although the American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women age 40 and older, some women avoid getting them because they are afraid of what they may learn.
Another reason, she said, is cost.
Thanks to a non-profit organization called Michelle-O-Gram, many local women have been able to have breast X-rays taken even though they would not otherwise be able to afford them.
The program is for women of any age in Marion, Citrus or Levy counties who need a mammogram but have no insurance or simply cannot financially afford to have one done. It is funded by donations and various fundraisers throughout the year.
Strickland, for example, is unemployed and does not have health insurance. Her primary medical provider is the Marion County Health Department.
Kim Yurcak, 37, said she and her husband are both self-employed, but because of the tough financial times they had to cancel their health insurance. One recent morning, Yurcak said, she woke up with an "itchy pain" in one of her breasts, which later became a "burning sensation" and then progressed to feeling as if her breast was "on fire."
Yurcak, a mother of three children, said she quickly made an appointment to see her doctor at Family Care Specialists, who then recommended a mammogram.
"I knew we could not afford it, but because I do have a history of breast cancer in my family, I was scared," she said.
After being referred to the Michelle-O-Gram program, Yurcak was able to have breast X-rays taken at no cost. It turned out, she said, that she has some benign cysts and she will have a repeat mammogram in six months.
"Sometimes, it's very embarrassing to ask for help, but that's not a good thing when it comes to breast cancer. I definitely have peace of mind now that I wouldn't have if not for the Michelle-O-Gram program," said Yurcak. "Too many women go unchecked and don't find something until it's too late. I think more women would get checked out if they knew they had an organization like Michelle-O-Gram to turn to."
Michelle-O-Gram was founded in 2009 by Joey Weisbaum and Sherry Roberts to honor the memory of Roberts' husband's cousin, Michelle Blauser-Standridge, who died at age 33 after a three-year battle with breast cancer.
"Michelle was always telling other women about the importance of having their mammograms done. And this is just one way we can carry her memory on," Roberts said.
"Last year, we were able to help 39 women afford mammograms. This year, we've already helped 33 and we're only halfway through the year," she added.
A fishing tournament fundraiser for the program is slated for Saturday, but donations are welcome year-round.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 6:00 AM
National data shows that on average teachers work fewer hours per week than people in other professions--nearly three hours a week less. That's according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Ohio's Teacher of the Year skipped breakfast.
Worthington middle school teacher Tim Dove had a cup of coffee at home and was in his classroom by 6:45 Monday morning. Twenty minutes later students began to wander in. Some chatted with Dove, the 2011 Teacher of the Year, about everything that happened the night before; others made a beeline for him to get help with last night's homework. It's not uncommon for him to be with a dozen kids by 7:15 a.m., Dove said.
About twelve hours — and one cafeteria lunch — later, Dove would pack his bags to head home to his wife and dog and three hours grading practice research paper citations, a set of essays and a geography quiz and preparing for Tuesday's classes.
Dove says work days like this are standard for him and his colleagues at Worthington's Phoenix Middle School, which has a longer school day and a different model than most traditional public schools.
But they're not the norm.
National data shows that on average teachers work fewer hours per week than people in other professions--nearly three hours a week less. That's according to this 2008 analysis from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (brought to our attention by the Buckeye Institute). The analysis is based on interviews from 2003-2006 conducted as part of the American Time Use Survey.
The data includes both time in the classroom and time spent grading papers at home. It doesn't include vacations and doesn't account for the intensity of different types of work.
[module align="right" width="half" type="aside"]
[/module]Jeffrey Keefe is on the faculty at Rutgers University's School of Management and Labor Relations. He's also a research associate at the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank that supports public policies that "protect and improve the economic conditions of low- and middle-income workers."
He says the Bureau of Labor Statistics' findings are in line with other research on how much time teachers spend working.
"The study is showing you what the average teacher does. And the average teacher is probably showing up at 8 a.m., leaving around 3:30 or 4 and, later in the day, grading and preparing and putting in a couple more hours at home," he said.
The required work day in the Cleveland public schools, for example, is 6 hours and forty minutes, including a 40-minute lunch break.
There are a couple reasons why the national data clashes with some teachers' experiences, said Rachel Krantz-Kent, the author of the BLS study:
"It's easy to argue that if one was mainly watching TV than this is how it should be recorded in the data. However, if the teacher was also providing some attention to grading papers during this time, she may not feel like she had much of a break from work," Krantz-Kent wrote.
[related_content align="left"]And, of course, there is individual variation: Just like some office workers come early and stay late while others clock out right at 5 p.m., some teachers work long days, while others only put in eight hours.
Compared to teachers in other countries, U.S. teachers work more hours per week, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an organization including 34 countries founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.
But the OECD survey just asked teachers how many hours they worked in a typical week on school-related activities and then multiplied that by the "typical number of instructional weeks per year." That's a less accurate way of measuring how people spend their time than conducting telephone surveys, the method used in the BLS analysis.
When we got Tim Dove, the Teacher of the Year, to describe his day to us that Monday evening, he stepped us through it, hour-by-hour, as accurately as he could.
Dove has been teaching for 31 years. As an Ohio State University adjunct professor, book author and educator, he's not the norm, and his work day isn't necessarily either.
"All I can tell you is what I do and the people I work with here do," he said.
But Dove said his schedule—and his job—suits him.
"I like coming to work. It's my vocation and my job and my work: It's all three," he said. "It always has been."
Tomorrow: See how two different teachers spend their days, hour-by-hour.
Note: A previous version of this story misstated the how data is collected for the American Time Use Survey. Data for the survey is collected through telephone interviews.

Guys & Girls:
I would say there are a lot of people that are single and looking for a relationship of some form. I also say you can meet a lot of people by getting involved in activities that interest you. Plus, the dorms are a great way to be in a community of people. Obviously we live in America, and the dress can be a little lenient for some people, but its not disgusting or anything.
Guys & Girls:
There is a wide range of personalities. There is everything from pure athletes to computer nerds. Some people wear sweats every day to class and some dress up every day. This goes for both the girls and the guys.
Guys & Girls:
It's a pretty laid back school. There are girls who wear sweat pants and there are those who indulge in beauty rituals daily. It all depends on the individual's preference and there is no pressure to act or dress a certain way unless you are in a sorority.
Guys & Girls:
There is way more women than men, but at the same time you have to take into consideration that there are LGBT students so the numbers really are different based on your orientation. While the school is rather accepting of things like that as a heterosexual male I personally can say it can be frustrating trying to find a girlfriend here. Many girls are either Lesbians or Bisexual or you have the usual issues of "okay if I tell her she's pretty she says she's fat and that's a turn off" but that's normal. The girls here also are fairly religious so good for you guys of the same religion, bad for atheist guys. The girls here are OUTLANDISHLY attractive though. I mean holy crap there are some NICE women here. For men, I can't judge, I'm personally heterosexual, you ought to ask a woman here or perhaps a guy who is gay or bi. I honestly don't look.
Guys & Girls:
I think our campus is above average.

The Battle over Judicial Elections: Right Argument, Missed Audience, Or: The Book We Should Have Had
Wasby, Stephen L., Justice System Journal
The Battle Over Judicial Elections: Right Argument, Missed Audience, or: The Book We Should Have Had In Defense of Judicial Elections, by Chris W. Bonneau and Melinda Gann Hall. New York: Routledge, 2009. 190 pp.
To defend state judicial elections, Bonneau and Hall, two leading scholars of state courts, examine 264 state supreme court elections in eighteen states and 210 retention elections for 1990-2004, when judicial elections moved from low to high salience and competition increased. They draw on literature on judges' decision making, on factors affecting turnout and election "toll- off," and on challengers to argue, counter to reformers' views, that judicial elections for state high courts are not subject to the host of refotmets' complaints and are "as efficacious as elections to other political offices" (p. xv). They set out concerns about the purportedly malign effects of increasing competition for, and expenditures on, judicial positions and assert that judicial reform, particularly nonpartisan elections, may actually produce effects about which reformers themselves complain, like low turnout and high campaign expenditures. Judicial elections have become much more like elections for other positions, they tell us, with voter participation affected by much the same factors - contestation and well-financed campaigns.
The authors declare that they have arrived at "one striking conclusion: that the principal charges against judicial elections are factually inaccurate" (p. 129), and they further conclude that state supreme court elections, "far from being institutional failures," are "a highly effective means for promoting citizen control of government and should be reconsidered" (pp. 17-18). One proposition underlying their arguments is that state -high-court judges are important political actors with discretion to shape judicial decisions to their personal preferences, while they are constrained by strategic contingencies, contextual features, and institutional arrangements like selection method and length of term. On "politically volatile and highly divisive disputes" (p. 15) that are complex and have no one clear answer, judges will not be bound by law and precedent. Their other proposition is that judges seeking to retain office through election are not different from other political actors.
Basic Contents. The book's six chapters, effectively assisted by tables and figures, mix discussion of voter participation and campaign finance. Providing context, the first chapter presents arguments for and against having elected judges and a history of shifts in selection mechanisms. Reformers' assertions are reduced to hypotheses and subjected to "objective social science techniques" (p. 18) in chapters 2, 3, and 4, and the authors' earlier claim of depressed voting in judicial elections is juxtaposed with the current one that "vigorous competition" - challengers seeking to oust incumbents - "and expensive campaigns have deleterious effects on courts" (p. 20). Themes are that high participation occurs in judicial elections under certain conditions, including expensive campaigns, while judicial reform measures depress turnout.
Chapter 3 gives greater focus to campaign finance and television advertising, which has increased but lags behind higher electoral competition for judicial positions. Money, with mote going to incumbents, is shown to be only one factor in elections, with nonpartisan elections more frequently higher- cost and partisan elections more likely lower-cost, a further indication that the same factors affect judicial and other elections. Chapter 4, about challengers, to whom unpopular judges are vulnerable and who act strategically, tells us that partisan judicial elections ate more like gubernatorial elections than like congressional ones, while nonpartisan judicial elections are more like the congressional contests.
Chapter 5 is a state-by-state examination of five states that have changed or are contemplating changing to nonpartisan elections or the Missouri plan or adding or expanding public financing of judicial elections, and it ptesents a first look at effects of those recent reforms. …

Game 30: Pittsburgh
The next stop on 'The Gauntlet' for the Marquette Golden Eagles will be Pittsburgh, where they take on the No. 3-ranked Panthers (26-3, 13-3 Big East) at the Petersen Events Center at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Anyone remember what happened the last time MU played there, on Jan. 21, 2007?
Of course, the Golden Eagles got two huge free throws from Dominic James with less than a second left on the clock to send the game into OT. They ultimately escaped with a 77-74 victory.
MU was 1-1 against Pittsburgh last season. With point guard Levance Fields playing his first game since suffering a broken foot, the Panthers were trounced, 72-54, at the Bradley Center last Feb. 15 before extracting revenge in the form of a 68-61 victory in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York.
One thing that stands out about both games as far as MU is concerned is the way it was able to hold down 6-foot-7, 265-pound forward DeJuan Blair. In the two games, Blair battled foul trouble en route to averaging just 4.0 points and 4.0 rebounds -- obviously a huge boon for MU.
The Golden Eagles can only hope for a repeat this time around. Blair is one of the frontrunners for Big East player of the year, averaging 15.6 points on 59.7% shooting and 12.7 rebounds, and he's left a wake of battered big men -- UConn's 7-3 Hasheem Thabeet included -- in his considerable wake.
Joining Blair in causing game-planning headaches for coach Buzz Williams and his staff is Sam Young, a 6-6, 220-pound wing who caused MU fits last season by averaging 20.0 points per game.
He's at a team-high 18.4 this year to go along with 5.9 rebounds and 38 three-pointers. It's Young's ability to score both inside and outside, off the bounce and on the glass, that makes him such a tough matchup -- especially for MU, which will likely throw Wesley Matthews at him and hope he can keep him mostly on the perimeter.
Fields is back as well, and he's playing as efficiently as ever, averaging 10.7 points and 7.4 assists.
None of the rest of Pittsburgh's lineup jumps right out like these three players, but the Panthers still have a capable supporting cast.
Guards Jermaine Dixon, Brad Wanamaker, Ashton Gibbs and Gilbert Brown all bring varying degrees of offense, defense and shot-making ability. Dixon's probably been the most impressive, with Gibbs right behind him.
There's not much frontcourt depth behind Blair and Young, which is another reason to try and get Blair into foul trouble once again. Senior Tyrell Biggs is a steady hand alongside those two, but doesn't provide much in the way of offense.
Behind Blair, Pittsburgh boasts a ridiculous plus-10.9 differential on the glass. The Panthers also shoot a high percentage (48.2%) from the floor and are solid from three-point range (35.5%) as well.
You can find their statistics here.
A victory tonight would earn MU the fourth seeding in the Big East Tournament, and the double-bye that comes along with it. Villanova, with whom MU is fighting for that spot, currently owns the tiebreaker if the two teams finish with the same record because the Wildcats have already beaten the Panthers.
A Providence victory at Villanova on Thursday would also earn MU the fourth seeding.

By The Hill Editors - 01/23/13 12:44 AM EST
House Republican leaders, badly wounded in the fiscal-cliff debate, have stopped their bleeding.
Their "No Budget, No Pay" bill will probably pass the House on Wednesday. Usually, it's not that newsworthy when the majority in the House gets the votes to pass legislation.
But clearing this bill, which is linked to the raising of the debt ceiling, and which stipulates that lawmakers will not be paid unless they pass a budget through their chambers, will get a lot of attention, and it will focus more attention in a way that could favor Republicans.
President Obama cruised to a crushing victory, getting a lot of what he wanted in the bill that was signed into law earlier this month. He then doubled down by refusing to negotiate with congressional Republicans over lifting the ceiling on the federal debt. Congressional Democrats, not surprisingly, backed him.
This put the GOP in a box, because Republicans had previously said they would not lift the ceiling without spending cuts, and polls show that most people would blame them if the nation defaulted.
This gave Democrats every incentive to block a bill that included spending cuts. At the same time, however, dozens of conservatives have made it plain they would vote against a "clean" debt-ceiling bill — that is, one that did not come with spending cuts attached.
Realizing that these options A and B would damage the Republican brand and achieve none of the party's fiscal goals, the House conference, at its recent retreat in Williamsburg, Va., came up with option C — No Budget, No Pay. Under this plan, the House will pass a clean bill to raise the ceiling, but only until May. But the legislation also stipulates that lawmakers will lose their pay if they don't pass a budget in the intervening three months. Conservatives have warmed to the plan because it allows them to point out that Senate Democrats have failed to pass a budget resolution for nearly four years.
The White House on Tuesday did not oppose the House Republican bill. A spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last week called the legislation a "gimmick," but the criticism appears to have fallen by the wayside and her lieutenants are not expected to whip against it.
The No Budget, No Pay concept has also been endorsed by Blue Dog Democrats in the House, members of Senate Republican leadership and Sen. Joe ManchinJoe ManchinSenators to Obama: Make 'timely' call on Afghan troops levels Dem senator: Sanders 'doesn't have a lot of answers' Groups urge Senate to oppose defense language on for-profit colleges MORE (W.Va.), a centrist Democrat. Senate Democrats on Tuesday also indicated their support.
The House Republican Conference is starting to deal more realistically — and thus more wisely — with the fact that the GOP lost the 2012 election and must adjustment its expectations and modus operandi.
While BoehnerJohn BoehnerIn House GOP, Ryan endorsement of Trump seen as inevitable House GOP faces dilemma on spending bills Overnight Finance: Puerto Rico bill clears panel | IRS chief vows to finish term | Bill would require nominees to release tax returns MORE and his rank and file have escaped this predicament, another one awaits in a few months. The No Budget, No Pay bill only increases the debt ceiling temporarily.
In May, they will once again have to decide whether to attach spending cuts in a debt-ceiling hike, or pass a clean increase favored by the White House.
But for now, at least, they bought themselves some time.


text: 051 FXUS63 KDLH 290859 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 359 AM CDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday) Issued at 359 AM CDT Sun May 29 2016 Upper low nearly overhead is in the process of opening up and lifting to the northeast into Canada while slowly weakening early this morning, but there is still sufficient forced ascent to produce scattered to widespread showers this morning. The forcing is most pronounced across northern Minnesota in close proximity to the weakening deformation zone, and this is likely to persist until around mid morning, at which point westerly winds should overspread most of the Duluth CWA as the surface low pulls away. However, increasing sun as the day progresses should lead to the development of some pretty decent instability this afternoon underneath still relatively cool temps aloft. Most of the short range hi-res guidance and CAMs produce scattered T-Storms this afternoon and linger them into the 03z time frame this evening. We agree with this general assessment and have increased PoPs for this afternoon in most areas, and have also extended the mention of at least some precip well into the evening as this type of activity in W/NW flow is often hard to kill off before sunset, which is not until almost 9 PM local time. Some small hail and gusty winds are certainly possible with the strongest cells this afternoon/early evening. Later tonight, clearing skies and light winds as low level ridging builds in to the region should lead to the re-development of fog in many areas, and it could be more widespread than is currently indicated in the forecast. Memorial Day appears to be the best day of the Holiday weekend underneath weak surface ridging, with light west/northwest winds and warming temps. A weak impulse sliding east-southeastward along the Canadian border could touch off a few instability showers Monday afternoon over NCent MN and the Arrowhead. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 359 AM CDT Sun May 29 2016 Our next storm system is an upper low that will have been moving across the northern Rockies, and Monday evening will be over eastern Montana. This low will move east across the Dakotas Tuesday and Tuesday night, before moving across Minnesota on Wednesday. This system will bring another round of showers and thunderstorms beginning late Monday night, with fairly high pops Tuesday and Tuesday night before tapering off again on Thursday. The extra clouds and precipitation should bring temperatures back down into the 60s and 70s for both Tuesday through Thursday. Ridging will build across the area Friday, bringing quieter weather for the daytime. Colder air brought down behind the exiting system will keep temperatures on the cool side, with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Next weekend chances for showers and thunderstorms return as a shortwave moves southeast across the area...with temperatures gradually warming. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1236 AM CDT Sun May 29 2016 Expecting cigs/visby to remain MVFR/IFR/LIFR overnight as winds remain light and the air is saturated. This will result in drizzle and fog at all terminals. Lowest visby expected at KDLH/KINL...and think that 1/4SM is possible at KDLH as hinted by the latest MOS guidance. A bit uncertain on the timing of 1/4SM visby developing. Winds will shift to a northwesterly direction Sunday morning...as a low moves into southwestern Ontario. This will allow visby to come back up to VFR by 13-16Z. Cigs will be slower to respond...but will gradually see improvement to VFR by 19-20Z. As the high builds in behind the departing low...will see gusty winds develop as the pressure gradient tightens. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DLH 72 52 77 47 / 50 20 0 30 INL 68 50 76 48 / 50 20 0 10 BRD 75 52 81 55 / 40 10 10 60 HYR 73 52 80 50 / 50 30 0 50 ASX 70 53 77 47 / 50 30 0 10 && .DLH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None.

It's a good thing my mp3 player has like 40 hours of playing battery life. Riding alone without music would probably just bore me to sleep.
I find the music can be good in small doses ... but then I get bored with it.
My rides seem to lack a considerable amount of nature. Perhaps it's just the area in which I'm riding.

If it's happening to you multiple times a day, there there is a known bug with Invision (the forum software we use): if you have an old Invision login cookie around and a new one, you'll potentially get logged out during certain operations. I had blocked that bug before by having Varnish eat old Invision login cookies (so even if you had one, the board never saw it), but with our move to nginx I couldn't do quite the same filtering. That might be the cause. The fix is just to clear your westeros.org cookies out, and then log back in again.
Brief Outage
Sparks replied to Ran's topic in AnnouncementsFYI, for those who were curious (since I forgot to post the 'more info' after Ran tagged me in back on Wednesday): I had carefully calculated how much memory a board session could take up at most, and allocated things accordingly. We actually were running well under my estimates for about two weeks, so I finally opened up more resources earlier in the week (allowing more concurrency and reducing the initial wait-in-line phase of the board balancing). And then Invision did something during automated maintenance that temporarily made all the sessions take up more RAM, back in line with my initial worst-case estimates. Since I had allowed more than the machine could handle in such a case, we hit an out-of-memory state, and our memory caching system (memcached) crashed when it next tried to allocate a buffer, as Ran noted. Turns out if memcached vanishes when Invision is configured to use it, everything screeches to a dead halt, much like an 18-wheeler semi overturning across the interstate. Restarting memcached fixed everything, and I've rewritten the balancer logic a bit so that if we DO hit an out-of-memory state, it should recover more gracefully.
That's not a 'Board Issue' per se—i.e., something not working right/broken on the board itself—so probably could've gone in a separate thread in the forum. That said, changing your signature is fairly straightforward. Just go to the Account Settings page (which is also available from the little dropdown that pops off your name, from the top of the board), and select Signature from the list on the left-hand side. Et voila, an editor to change your signature!
Links in the Bran Re-Read
Sparks replied to Illuminated by Fire's topic in HelpUgh. I added some stuff to rewrite the old-style URLs into the new ones, but it doesn't work on those because those links contain a both a query path and a query string, not one or the other, and the logic is trying to switch between the two. A simple rewrite of the other form wouldn't work.. I can try to rewrite the old-URL-handler logic to handle those. Basically, instead of the ?p=<postID> on the end of the path, if we're rewriting to the method nginx uses, it needs to turn into a &do=findComment&comment=<postID> on the end, if it's using the ?/ portion at the beginning. (Alternatively, just switching back to lighttpd would allow us to use both formats, and I'm seriously considering that at this point.) Either way, I'll try to come up with a fix for that URL format later.
Sorry, it's been a little insane for me at work, so I fell behind on reading the forums. (But hey, we stayed up pretty well during the episode!) I would toss the IP to both me and Ran in PM here, that's probably quickest. Reference this thread, so Ran knows why he's getting emailed a random IP (in case he hasn't glanced at this thread). Also, if you used to be able to log on from home and can't now, chances are your ISP rotated dynamic IPs around, and you used to be on a different one but now hit a tainted/burned/blacklisted one.
That particular code means an IP has been banned in the Invision anti spam blacklist; either your machine was compromised or—if you're on a home network where the IP rotates around, as with most cable/DSL providers—a previous person on your IP had a compromised machine. That machine was then stuck into a net to work as a proxy for people who would try to go around and register on Invision sites, then immediately post 40 'mail-order Russian bride' or 'best video download' or 'cheap website design' ads wherever they could. Once enough Invision sites report that IP as a spammer, Invision's mothership adds the IP to the list of bad net citizens, and all Invision boards then reject that IP address (so the spammer is cut off from Invision boards as a whole). The spammer moves along to a new compromised machine as their proxy, thus changing their IP, and whoever inherits the now-tainted IP gets shafted, because anything linked to the Invision mothership figures they're a spammer and blocks them. What you'll need to do is get your external home IP address (just Google 'What Is My IP' and hit that site once you are at home), then send that to one of the admins and we'll see about adding an override. (You may also want to do a malware scan of your home machine just to make sure it wasn't you that was the compromised one, and was someone else who had your home IP previously.)
Ugh. I hadn't noticed that nginx blocked path-type URLs. I've added some rewrite logic which hopefully fixes things.
Aaaaaand no, apparently not. Sadly, there's stillsome browser out there someone is using that doesn't report itself with the standard mobile strings in User-Agent, but DOES request mobile layout once CSS is loading. So it shows up as a desktop client when we're caching pages, and mobile when the page actually loads. I will track this down yet!
IthinkI have finally tracked down why mobile pages for the wiki were sometimes being cached as desktop pages in Varnish, as well. Fingers crossed! Let Ran or me know if you see that happening again.
So, we've changed how our caching is working, which may have freed up a bunch of resources. This is a fairly significant set of changes (changes touching configuration for the PHP queues on both machines, for nginx on the forum and Varnish on the wiki, the MySQL connection profiles, AND how the forum and wiki are configured). If the Seven are kind, this will make a huge lasting difference (not just the short-term one from unclogging the bottleneck we were having this morning); we'll see what happens.
As background, think of the forum and wiki like a ride at Disneyland. You can only have a certain number of people on the ride at a time (i.e., the maximum number of PHP instances), but you can have a larger number of people waiting in line for the ride (the pending connections). Some people are okay just watching a video of the ride (Varnish cache for non-logged-in users), and so they can come to the end of the line, watch the video, and leave. Others, however, are stuck waiting for a space on the ride. That long delay before the page starts loading, that's the waiting-in-line part. As soon as the page starts loading, that's you actually being on the ride; you can see that the latter part has gotten considerably faster, but less so the first part. Now, there are two factors that determine how quickly that line moves: the speed of the ride (i.e., the server's CPU capacity) and the number of people you can fit on the ride (i.e., the server's RAM capacity). The faster the ride goes, the quicker you can get people back off and get the next group on. The more people you can fit on per run, the bigger a chunk of the line you can take away each time the ride comes back to put new people on. When the line gets gummed up, that's when things go wrong. Too many people in line, and the amusement park staff cap the line and refuse to let anyone else get in. (That's the 500 error you get sometimes.) Enough of those 500 errors, and Cloudflare itself marks the site offline. So, clearly, we need to keep the line from getting too long, and not just for performance reasons! But what if we just, I dunno, crammed more people in the ride? Those safety guidelines are for wusses, right? Well, turns out, if we risk that, that's when we hit the server's RAM limits. Lots of page faults, and the processors become bogged down, and we end up in the death spiral. People flying off the ride screaming, things on fire, things turning just generally Not Good. That's the part where instead of the server recovering on its own, I get back to the keys and have to try to balance things (or Ran just shuts things off until it recovers). Now, previously, the Wiki and Forum were two tracks of the same ride; they shared capacity and the line waiting to get in. This obviously wasn't ideal. We've split them onto two separate servers—made them into separate rides—with separate waiting lists and separate capacity. There's still some shared resources (notably the SQL database backing it, off on a third machine), but it's an improvement. And for a couple of days, everything ran very smoothly. However, apparently the forum has proven quite capable of hungrily devouring all new capacity; the faster things go, the more people show up, and the quicker we get back to where we were. You all collectively are basically Cookie Monster, but for servers. (Which is actually appropriate, if anyone's seen the very first thing the Muppet that became Cookie Monster came from; he was made for an IBM training film that Henson was hired to do, where he ate a computer. But I digress.) To stay with the amusement park analogy; the ride itself doesn't take long to go on, so we can move people through faster that way, but the capacity of the ride hasn't increased much so we still can only run a small number of people at a time. As such, we're probably going to increase the RAM of the machine later this week, so that I can increase the number of concurrent PHP sessions (i.e., the capacity of the ride). ...and now I have mental images of Muppets riding amusement part rides, and periodically eating them. Clearly, I need more coffee. (This post has been brought to you by the letter W and the number 16. Status Posts are a production of the Decaffeinated Sysadmin's Workshop.)
I think I found the issue; it should be fixed, but youmay have to log in again for the fix to take for your user session. (I.e., you might get logged out one more time, but that should be the last time.)
Mm. Copying over the cache/upload directory caused all the webserver's permissions on those directories to be rewritten. Try again!
And... welcome to the new server, everyone! Fingers crossed this helps clear up some of the traffic issues. We may end up throwing a little more RAM into this machine if not, but I think without sharing CPU and RAM with the wiki, we should be better off.
Friends list/Search Function
Sparks replied to Belisarius09's topic in HelpRan posted in the announcements thread about this, but the short form is that anything powered by the underlying search tables (search itself, obviously, but also a number of other features) puts a far heavier load on the forum than just reading/posting does. To use an analogy, it's the difference between going for a jog in running shorts and a tank-top, versus going for a jog in full plate armor while dragging a cart behind you as if you were a horse. Those functions are the armor and cart. The forum software has performance modes you can enable—disabling a lot of features—if the forum is seeing high traffic. Since the HBO seasons are airing and we're seeing traffic levels among the highest Westeros has ever seen, Ranturned those on for now, which disabled pretty much any feature you're abruptly missing. The features will be re-enabledpost-season when performance mode gets kicked off. Wearegoing to move the forum to a dedicated machine, per my post in the announcements forum, and we'll examine whether that gives us enough leeway to turn the features back on. But we're seeing traffic among the highest levels Westeros.org has ever seen right now, so it may prove to make more sense to keep the forum in performance mode, even on a separate machine.

Welcome Leslie!!
Hi Everyone!! I have been away from my computer all day with church and other activities
Wow, so thankful for the points and the fact that the ladies I invited posted a card- how exciting!!!
The Tea Bag Holder sounds great - thanks for the challenge Lisa!
Haven't had a chance to stamp much this weekend since I am still working on organizing my craft room - at least another few weeks to finish in between work and other duties
Sounds like a few of you are experienced in coloring your hair. I have been fortunate to not have to color my hair yet (only had highlights once when I was 21 or so). With my allergies to chemical smells and asthma, I am a bit concerned- do they have odor free hair color? Fortunately I have only one gray hair so far but my hair color is somewhat of a "mouse brown" - used to be dirty blonde when I was younger but has darkened with age and staying out of the sun
I will be a "double nickel" this year and know that the gray hairs are coming so depending how they appear, I will most likely want to cover up the gray. I may be calling upon you when the time comes for advice
Have a great evening ladies!!

Michael Barone: Obama can't abide views he doesn't share
To judge from his surly demeanor and defiant words at his news conference on Monday, Barack Obama begins his second term with a strategy to defeat and humiliate Republicans rather than a strategy to govern.
His point-blank refusal to negotiate over the debt ceiling was clearly designed to make the House Republicans look bad.
But Obama knows very well that negotiations usually accompany legislation to increase the government's debt limit. As Gordon Gray of the conservative American Action Network points out, most of the 17 increases in the debt ceiling over the last 20 years have been part of broader measures.
Working out what will be in those measures is a matter for negotiation between the legislative and executive branches. That's because the Constitution gives Congress the power to incur debt and the president the power to veto.
Obama supporters like to portray Republican attempts to negotiate as hostage-taking or extortion. But those are violent crimes. Negotiations are peaceful acts.
What we do know, from Bob Woodward's "The Price of Politics," is that Obama is not very good at negotiating. He apparently can't stomach listening to views he does not share.
Perhaps that is to be expected of one who has chosen all his adult life to live in university communities and who made his way upward in the one-party politics of Chicago. Thus on the fiscal cliff he left the unpleasant business of listening to others' views and reaching agreement to Joe Biden.
Obama has laid down another marker in his puzzling nomination of Chuck Hagel to be secretary of defense.
As The Washington Post editorial writers pointed out, Hagel — though a nominal Republican — has stood way to the left of Obama on whether a military option to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program is feasible.
Obama has said repeatedly that that option, however risky and unpalatable, is on the table. Hagel has said it shouldn't be.
It's not at all clear that Hagel has the experience and temperament to head the Pentagon. His vocal defenders tend to concentrate on attacking his detractors rather than make the affirmative case for his qualifications.
As defense secretary, Hagel seems likely to cut military personnel and capabilities. There's undoubtedly some detritus that can be swept away. But his nomination seems less aimed at managing the military than tormenting the Republicans.
Then there is gun control. Some recent media polls show majority support for further restrictions on guns. If you phrase the question the right way, you tend to get that kind of response, especially after a horrifying crime like Newtown.
But new restrictions are unlikely to have any significant practical effect. The ban on assault weapons — a category defined mostly by cosmetics — certainly had none in the 10 years it was in effect.
Compromises needed
Strict state gun control laws did not stop the carnage in Newtown or the frequent killings on the streets of Chicago. The push for gun control is more a symbolic gesture than a serious attempt at governing.
Something better can be said about Obama's call for immigration law changes. The need for some change is clear. That was also true in Obama's first two years, when he did nothing to advance legislation on the subject when Democrats had a solid majorities in Congress.
The question is whether Obama wants legislation or to stick it to the opposition. Many Republicans, like Sen. Marco Rubio, are ready to support legalization of those brought here as children but not immediate legalization for all 11 million illegals.
Negotiations and compromises will be needed to get a bill through Congress. A president interested in governing would not insist on getting his way 100 percent. Whether Obama is such a president is far from clear.

Amazingly, the gym lights in the Caprock Activities Center survived Tuesday night.
Because if ever a team shot lights out, it was the Class 4A No. 6-ranked Palo Duro Dons during their 85-66 District 3-4A victory against Caprock.
Eight Palo Duro players combined to make 30-of-31 free-throw attempts - 28 in a row at one point - and PD senior Wes Shaw tossed in four of the five 3-pointers he attempted, leading a shooting display rarely witnessed at the high school level.
"I have never heard of that in my life, a team shooting 96 percent from the line,'' said Caprock coach Roger Raper, his team able to claim the No. 3 seed in district with a Friday win against Randall. "Then they were 7-of-11 from 3-point range. That's incredible. You can't get any momentum going when a team scores like that at the line.''
In winning, Palo Duro (8-0 in district) stretched its Amarillo Independent School District-record consecutive district victory streak to 44 games over a four-year period and moved within a game of clinching the 3-4A crown.
Palo Duro 85, Caprock 66
Records: Palo Duro is 24-2 overall, 8-0 in District 3-4A. Caprock is 16-10, 4-4.
Impact: Palo Duro stretches its district winning streak to 44 games.
Key Stat: Eight Palo Duro players combined to make 30-of-31 free throws.
As fast paced as the Dons like a game with their full-court press, it was with the clock stopped that PD won this game. Palo Duro rolled off 28 consecutive free throws before substitute D'Andre Williams missed with 1:47 to play. Williams, however, was no slouch from the line, going 3-of-4.
PD's combined shooting prowess from the line started out with a 5-for-5 effort in the first quarter, an 8-for-8 in the second quarter, added 2-for-2 in third, then closed out the game by going 15-of-16 from the line in the fourth.
PD senior post Isaiah Johnson scored a team-high 20 points and was the star of the night at the line, making all 12 of his attempts.
PD coach Jeff Evans said his team shoots approximately 68 percent as a team from the line. His eyes widened in a hurry when told of going 30-of-31 from the line.
"We have been a little inconsistent shooting free throws this year,'' Evans said. "But we know to be a good team you have to hit free throws, and we were fortunate in this game. Our practice paid off.
"Caprock has a good team, and you have to do things right or they are going to beat you.''
PD senior starting guard Kyler Monroe, who ignited his team's offense early, scoring eight first-quarter points, was one of four Dons in double figures with 15.
Monroe made all three of his free-throw attempts in the first quarter and said he and his teammates take pride in that part of the game.
"On game days we all shoot 40 or 50 free throws,'' Monroe said. "We knew we had to come out ready and match Caprock's intensity. We know teams are going key on Justin and Wes, so I tried to step up.''
Palo Duro did race out to a 23-12 lead after the first quarter, but Caprock found its inside game late in the third period to pull within 46-40 on a Brandon Ford three-point play.
Ford continued his strong district season, scoring a game-high 21 points in the paint, while Caprock guards Michael Becerra (16 points) and Ryan Ballin (12 points) added offense from the outside.
But once Ford's basket and free throw cut the PD lead to six, the Dons quickly extended the lead to 13 on a Monroe 3-pointer and a pair of fast-break baskets by Justin Mason.
Mason and Shaw each scored 19. Shaw buried Caprock late, making a trio of 3-pointers over a three-minute span, the final basket behind the arc putting the Dons ahead 66-49 with 5:53 remaining.
"We thought we could score inside,'' Raper said. "We did make a run, but they turned it up, and we needed to turn it up again and didn't. Those free throws and Shaw just hurt us all night.''

The extension of the UK's car scrappage scheme is set to benefit van insurance customers looking to upgrade their vehicle, according to the Department of Business, Skills and Innovation.An additional £100 million investment in the strategy, which was approved last month, has been announced today.This brings the total value of the scheme to £400 million, covering 400,000 vehicles in total.In particular, van insurance customers stand to benefit from trading in vehicles up to eight years old, instead of the previous ten-year requirement.Commenting on the extension, business secretary Lord Peter Mandelson indicated that the benefits will go beyond providing customers with a discounted new car.He said: "Industry figures show that the scrappage scheme is continuing to boost the market. The automotive sector is a cornerstone of British manufacturing."That is why the Government plans to extend this successful scheme with an extra £100 million of funding."The current scheme is set to come to an end in February 2010, unless funding runs out sooner.Some 26 manufacturers have so far signed up to the new terms of the agreement, while a remaining 12 are expected to agree in the near future.The introduction of the extension appears to be a timely one, with vehicle information provider HPI indicating that the shortage of stock in the used car and van markets remains.Although depreciation is slowing and values seem to be stabilising, the market is being held back from full recovery by this shortage of availability.HPI's valuation expert Martin Keighley said: "Today, dealers are taking fewer part exchanges, while relying on the scrappage scheme to generate business, but at the end of the day they cannot find the right stock to sell, putting businesses in danger."He added that there also appears to be a lack of confidence among used car market suppliers to step up production and start taking risks again, despite the return of values.Compare van insurance quotes from lots of websites automatically with Quotezone!

South Sudan's president on Friday said a new peace deal with rebels will help see the country's five-week conflict resolved through dialogue, even as a rebel leader accused the country's military of breaking the cease-fire.
South Sudan's president on Friday said a new peace deal with rebels will help see the country's five-week conflict resolved through dialogue, even as a rebel leader accused the country's military of breaking the cease-fire.
President Salva Kiir said the deal signed Thursday would bring an end to suffering for South Sudan's people, a half million of whom have fled their homes since violence began Dec. 15. Weeks of fighting has killed thousands.
"For the people of South Sudan, I am pleased to tell them that the conflict that erupted in December, that was uncalled for, will be resolved through peaceful dialogue," he told a news conference.
But as a sign of the government's own concern about the strength of the agreement, Kiir also appealed to the rebels to accept the deal, with a message directed at armed youths known as the White Army, who are loyal to the leader of the rebellion, Riek Machar, the former vice president whom Kiir fired.

"The fact that Riek will not be in control of all these forces, I am appealing to you that you respect what has been done," Kiir said, reflecting concerns that all the rebels may not agree with the cease-fire and all do not answer to Machar.
In Ethiopia, where Thursday's deal was signed, Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, a rebel spokesman, said government forces were attacking rebel positions in oil-rich Unity state and in Jonglei state.
Koang called the attacks a "clear violation" of the peace deal and said rebel forces would defend themselves against attacks.
South Sudan's military spokesman, Col. Philip Aguer, said he was not aware of any new violence but said there was fighting in Jonglei on Thursday. Aguer said if new fighting has occurred "it is because rebels have attacked" government soldiers.
The U.N. Mission in South Sudan reported "sporadic fighting took place in parts of the country today (Friday)."
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon emphasized "the necessity to continue without delay a national political dialogue to reach a comprehensive peace agreement." He said that dialogue should include all political and civil society representatives as well as detainees from the rebel side, according to his spokesman, Farhan Haq.
Further agreement has stalled over rebel demands for the immediate release of 11 arrested former government officials, whom the government insists must face a judicial process.
In a message meant to cool a feud with the U.N., Kiir warned the country's security apparatus to stop the "trend of violence against the United Nations."
Kiir earlier this week said the U.N. Mission in South Sudan was a "parallel government" that would "shame itself" as he accused the U.N. of siding with the rebels.
Kiir said his words were misunderstood. "It does not mean South Sudan is hostile to the U.N. system," he said. "They are very helpful to the people of South Sudan".
In November last year U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a report to the Security Council that the U.N. mission there was subjected to 67 cases of harassment, threats, physical assault, arrest and detention of U.N. staff as well as the seizure of U.N. vehicles by the army and police over five months.
Kiir said he has ordered the Interior Ministry, Defense Ministry and National Security Ministry to prevent any attacks or harassment of UN staff.
AP reporter Elias Meseret in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia contributed to this report.

More information about this loan
This loan is part of XacBank's green loan program, giving Mongolian farmers the support they need to grow and process organic fruits and vegetables despite harsh conditions and short growing seasons. These loans are used to obtain critical resources, like greenhouse space to shield crops from the cold, and training for traditionally nomadic entrepreneurs who lack agricultural experience. XacBank's green loan program also helps clients to improve their heating and ventilation systems, reducing pollution and health problems caused by burning fuel.
