Grupo Camache Chiquito 2 Group
Grupo Camache Chiquito 2 Group's story
Pedro, 55, is married and the father of a beautiful family of four children. They live in a community of the Comanche district.
He works from sun up to sun down so his children will want for nothing. He sells firewood from his home and has been in business for ten years. But to earn extra income he also works for the municipality.
In an effort to continue prospering Pedro has decided to apply for a loan to start a new business selling bananas. As is well known this type of crop requires a strong amount of capital so he hopes to obtain the loan in order to open his banana sales business.
His greatest goal is to strengthen his business and improve his family's living conditions.
In this group: Pedro, Isabel, Mirna Josefa

The Washington Redskins get back to work today for their fourth practice of training camp, and this morning we take another dive into the mailbag.
This week we tackle everything from Adam Carriker's future, Tanard Jackson, right tackle, drug suspensions and a couple of other topics in between. Amazingly, Robert Griffin III is not one of them.
Here we go …
With the news that Adam Carriker will have yet another surgery (his third) for the same problematic right quadriceps tendon and most likely miss the bulk of the season. Do you think it's time for an injury settlement and move on from him? I think so.
– Gene Bruce
The Redskins currently don't have plans to pursue an injury settlement with Carriker. He is expected to need four to five months of recovery time, and it appears unlikely that he will play this season. But because of his work ethic and strong character, plus his production as a run-stopper, team officials seem willing to give Carriker time. Now, if we reach a later point this season, and the recovery isn't going well, then maybe they consider it. Maybe. They never looked to work out an injury settlement last year for Jammal Brown, who had to have surgery just before training camp, opened the year on the PUP list, tried to come back and then had another setback and wound up on IR.
What is the final status on Tanard Jackson and the Skins? Or is there still more to come?
– Paul Clark
Maybe a little more to come. But probably not much. He's not eligible to apply for reinstatement until Aug. 31, and then the commissioner will determine his fate. The Redskins still hold the rights to his contract, but they don't have to take him back even if he is reinstated. I get the sense that he probably will not be back with the team. He hasn't done any football activities in a year. Training camp and the preseason will have come and gone, and team officials wouldn't have even been allowed to take a look at him or get a feel for if he is in the right mind-set or not. The Redskins couldn't hold a roster spot for him sight unseen.
I'm going to training camp Wednesday for the afternoon practice. After the morning walk-thru is over around 11:30 or so, do the fans have to leave until around 3 p.m.? I was thinking of showing up around 2 p.m. and want to make sure I can get in or if I'll be standing in line.
– Dewayne Soltes
Many of the fans from the walk-through do leave and come back. But the gates stay open and you shouldn't have a line. Showing up around an hour early will probably help make sure you can find a good spot to post up. My advice: don't set up in the end zones. Best view is probably on the hill along the sideline. You can watch the units work their ways up and down the field with a much better view. It's possible to find a spot down along the roped off sidelines, but it can be hard to see there if players, photographers, TV camera men and reporters are standing in the way. The only drawback of sitting on the hill and watching is that although you can see better, you might have trouble positioning yourself for some post-practice autographs, if you want them.
Have we, by any chance, changed trainers in the past few seasons? With this many torn pectoral muscles it seems as though the training staff needs to change their standard procedures.
– Bob Lasher, Clearwater, Fla.
There haven't been any changes to the training staff, and although the rash of pectoral muscle tears (for Brian Orakpo and Keenan Robinson, anyway) are alarming, everyone says nothing changed in the way players have prepared themselves. No one has been able to provide clear reasons on why the second tears occurred, either. Orakpo has said perhaps his initial injury hadn't completely healed. He admitted he didn't feel 100 percent healthy when he attempted his comeback last year. Word was, however, that the second tear occurred at a different spot on that same pectoral muscle. Keenan Robinson's initial injury occurred when hiss outstretched arm was pulled awkwardly as he attempted an arm tackle. His second injury (to the opposite pectoral muscle) is being described as "a freak injury," because he was losing his balance, stuck his hand down to catch himself and injured himself. Robinson said from going back over his preparation both in his head and with trainers, he doesn't know how that injury could have been prevented. "I need to lift weights and be strong to play my position," he said. "I can't not lift, and it wasn't like I did it in the weight room, trying to do too much. I don't know how I could have prevented it."
Am I the only one getting tired of hearing grown men making excuses for doing dumb stuff? Jarvis Jenkins recently got suspended for violating the NFL performance enhancing drug policy and the only response he could give was "I made a mistake." No kidding! He made a mistake at a position the Redskins are in dire need of starter quality players. Eight players suspended in the players in the last three years? He can't sell me that line about not knowing what supplements he was taking. Do you think we have a problem that needs to be taken more serious by the team's front office?
– Olufemi Adepoju
Mike Shanahan's frustration with Jenkins was pretty obvious. The league makes it pretty easy for a player to avoid mistakenly taking a banned substance that happens to be in an over-the-counter supplement. Players simply have to look for the NSF label, and if the product doesn't bear that label, they shouldn't take it. Mike Shanahan was asked if he and other team officials need to do a better job of addressing this issue, and he insists that players have been warned and that the importance of responsibility over what they put in their bodies has been stressed repeatedly. Veteran players like London Fletcher and DeAngelo Hall say this message has been relayed loud and clear, over and over. Carelessness, or just plain ignorance, seems to be the blame.
Everyone seems to want to say Tyler Polumbus, Tony Pashos, and Jeremy Trueblood when talking about the right tackle competition. I thought Maurice Hurt did a fine job in a brief opportunity last year – better than Polumbus. Why isn't he getting more run as a possible contender? I know he's hurt now, but he's expected to be back soon, correct? Could you handicap the right tackle competition for us? Who's most likely, next most, etc.?
– Brian Mulholland
Maurice Hurt did an okay job filling in for Tyler Polumbus that one game last year, but he definitely has his limitations and isn't the answer at right tackle. Size, quickness and strength are suspect areas for him. Each candidate for right tackle has his limitations. Polumbus returns as the starter, and will likely hang onto that job. He has good size at 6 feet 8, 305 pounds. That height can make it difficult for him to get good leverage at times, and he doesn't have the longest arms, so it's easier for defenders to get inside on him than some tackles. But coaches see him as a reliable, hard-working player. They are aware of his limitations, and because of that, they do as much as they can to give him some help, whether it be giving him some help from a tight end, or doing some chipping on that right side with running backs and fullbacks. But they value his knowledge of the system, work ethic and character. Pashos has been a solid tackle during his career, but he missed all of last season with foot surgery, and is learning the system still. He currently is the second-team right tackle. Trueblood is another really tall guy (6-9, 320), but he doesn't have the greatest footwork, and appears to struggle with balance while trying to stay in front of speed rushers. He currently is the third-string right tackle. Hurt might be better than him. We'll see how things shake out in a couple weeks when he returns. The thing that helps Hurt, in terms of making the roster, is his ability to play guard as well.

Being a forward-thinking, digital agency we are all about discovering new technology solutions, therefore we wished to share with you our recent use of Vimeo links within the WordPress framework online with regards to the benefits of Video Sitemaps.
Within the technological domain Matt Cutts, Principal Engineer and head of Google's web spam team made it absolutely clear that Google Video Sitemaps are crucial for indexing video content and that publishers everywhere should create and submit video sitemaps (SMX Advanced Seattle 2012).
"…Video Sitemaps are something that we're probably going to look at a little more closely. If you tell us where your videos are, we will try to index them a little bit harder," Cutts said. "For example, if you think about things like Google TV, coming out in the fall, it's in everybody's interest that all the videos that are on the web be able to be very discoverable and very searchable. If you produce videos and you haven't done a Video Site map, that is something that I would definitely recommend."
With a powerful CMS framework like WordPress it is easy to embed Youtube and Vimeo footage by simply pasting the URL, with WordPress then automatically converting the link into rich embedded content.
The only slight niggle with the technology is that WordPress embeds Vimeo content using iframe, which Google did not index. However with a few small tweaks with the embed_oembed_html hook we have introduced a <noframes> tag for every Vimeo <iframe> ensuring that it is in a format that Google can comprehend.
Indeed a few days after implementing the technology onto the Engine Creative website Vimeo embedded content started to be indexed and voilà we had created another avenue for you all to see our lovely video work!

Earn Your Teaching Credential and Master's Degree
Azusa Pacific University's 2042 Single Subject Teaching Credential and master's program prepares teachers for positions at the middle and high school levels (6-12) and as K-12 specialists in art, music, and physical education. Upon completion, the credential candidate will have earned both a 2042 Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Master of Arts in Education: Teaching.
The program, approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE, transitioning to CAEP), meets pre-professional and professional course requirements, and is accompanied by practical classroom application in middle schools and high schools.
Are You Currently Teaching?
The credential and master's program offers two separate tracks tailored to your career status:
The Non-Intern option is specifically designed for the candidate who is not currently teaching full time and who lacks subject-matter competence. This track is also appropriate for adults making career changes, as well as for those who are teaching without fulfilling subject-matter competence.
The Intern track serves teacher candidates who are employed teaching full time in a public K–12, or WSCUC (formerly WASC)-approved K–12 private school in a setting and assignment approved for that credential by the credential advisor. Intern candidates must have completed their subject-matter requirements.
Program Highlights
Whether you are looking to fortify your teaching qualifications or are making a career change from another field, this program geared for the working adult learner produces educators known for their skill and compassion.
- Each class meets just one night a week, providing added flexibility for working students as they earn their degree and credential.
- Expert faculty offer quality instruction grounded in a Christian worldview, creating a relevant program that enables students to make a difference in their classrooms.
- Small class sizes create a rich learning community as students progress through the program with a cohort of peers.
School of Education Accreditation
Azusa Pacific University receives accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). In addition, the School of Education receives accreditation from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), which is transitioning to the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), making APU one of only three private schools in California with this distinction. Further, our credential programs are accredited by California's Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). Our Educational Psychology program is also accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). These notable accreditations set APU graduates apart from other candidates and ensure that your degree will be recognized throughout the United States and internationally.
University Reputation
Azusa Pacific University secured a place in the most prestigious category of U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges 2016 rankings, placing in Tier One at No. 175 in the National Universities category. In addition, The Princeton Review named APU as 1 of 124 institutions in the 2016 Best Colleges in the West, and G.I. Jobs named APU a Military Friendly School for 2016, placing APU among the top 15 percent of schools in the country helping military students reach their educational dreams.

Walmart kicks off its Black Friday deals at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

New Grange Bluegrass Band[edit]
There is also a band named New Grange. Allison Brown et al. Should have a redirect.
I don't think a unknown band is quite as important as a pre historic structure that pre dates the egyptian pyramids. Let's keep things in perspective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Translation of Brú na Bóinne[edit]
Bru na Boinne should be translated as the Mansion, or Palace, of the Boyne, according to all the Irish I have consulted. The translation the Bend of the Boyne is probably derived from the title of the book (I myself made that mistake, which is why I started asking several people for translations). The title deals with the whole river bend, not just Newgrange (which is depicted on the front cover), that is the reason for the choice of word.
Metric measurements[edit]
Would anyone object if the measurements were changed to metric, with Imperial in paretheses following? Official units in the ROI are metric; at the very least, metric should be included.
- They may officially be in metric but I know very few people in Ireland who use metric alone and many who never use it. FearÉIREANN\(talk) 21:14, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed. But as I said, "at the very least, metric should be included". It is by far the most commonly used measurement system in the world, and billions of people (including me) have no intuitive idea of what 60 feet or 20 feet looks like. Would you mind if I put metric in parentheses after the Imperial, if you prefer to give the Imperial priority?
- Actually, I've gone ahead and done that. You can revert if you don't like it, but it surely can't hurt to have metric as well.
- I am reminded of the time when Barry Desmond signed the "order for the abolition of imperial measures" --ClemMcGann 19:38, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Newgrange / Brú na Boinne[edit]
The article currently gives Brú na Bóinne as the Irish version of Newgrange. My understanding is that Brú na Bóinne is the area which incorporates the passage graves of Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth and other monuments.
Also, the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscription applies to the "Archaeological Ensemble of the Bend of the Boyne". I would suggest that we need to rework this series of articles and recategorise accordingly. --Ryano 11:38, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed, Brú na Bóinne has a lot more monuments in it beyond the big 3. adamsan 18:48, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Lightbox feature[edit]
Isn't the article a little dismissive of newgrange's "lightbox"? I know a NPOV is a rule and to try and make it sound like tourism-bait is equally wrong and daft, but a unique architectural feature predating the Giza pyramids is being breezed over here! Any objections to me doing some rewriting if I get the time later this week? (A5y 20:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC))
- I dont know if i would call it dismissive, more like it's under/downplayed. As for rewriting, give it a shot, i dont have a problem with ot, as long as it does not sound like a tourist advert. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I hope nobody minds, I added the sentence about the light appearing at your feet when you reach the inner chamber. I didn't see mention of this feature anywhere else. <Cailín Sásta> —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cailín Sásta (talk • contribs) 20:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- If you look at this page, you have to square it with the 1905 photo of the entrance with only one lintel, not two. Of course adding the second higher lintel allowed the lightbox to be constructed in the 1980s. If you did that and aimed your lightbox at the winter solstice, then hey presto it's lit up by the solstice sun. But it's not archaeology.126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Good article but could do with some improvement[edit]
- If I might add a few comments on things to improve this article, firstly the formatting of the page is pretty bad and needs to be fixed.
- Secondly, certain things that need to be added are, its uses, i.e. was it a Calendar? Was it just a burial tomb? Was it a place where rituals were preformed or was it always sealed?
- Other things are when was it in use? And by who? It is mentioned that people were still adding to it in the Bronze-age, 1,000 years after first construction. Did the Celts revere it? Did they use it for rituals? I've heard that Roman coins have been found at Newgrange, does this mean Roman visitors revere it?
- Also, it says that Newgrange was excavated in 1962, but I've seen pictures of people in the passage in the early 1900's any idea about this?

Burials or commitals were usually done yearly. Throw some remains in the tomb, clean them out the next year, they may have been devout but were practical
UNESCO World Heritage Sites[edit]
There are only TWO UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ireland, not SIX. It is both confusing and deceptive to readers to place Dowth, Knowth, Newgrange and Townleyhall passage grave under the "World Heritage Sites in the Republic of Ireland" category. They are NOT individual world heritage sites but fit under Brú na Bóinne. Please remove the World Heritage categories from the bottom of these four pages. I think a good idea would be to leave links to the four pages in the Brú na Bóinne page. Jaw101ie 02:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- I saw Irish historian Conor Cruise "O'Brien speak about the "restoration" of Newgrange. Pointing out the re-inforced concrete and iron bars used in the "reconstruction" he stated " We are not sure what Newgrange looked like in old times but I am absolutely sure it did not look like this"
There are sevearal smaller less spectacular mounds in the Boyne Valley some undisturbed. Dowth and Lowth when i was there 30 years ago were untouristed.
- Grouping sites together like this is a common way to allow sites that would not normally be fit for listing as individual monuments to be included in the list of World Heritage Sites. And it is also a way for sites that were fit to be listed when originally listed, but which no longer fill the required criteria for listing (such as due to their historical integrity being damaged or destroyed), to remain listed as World Heritage Sites.

Oldest surviving building[edit]
Is it true that newgrange is the oldest surviving structure in the world today?--Richy 01:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I wondered about that, too. Dowth and Knowth close to it are most likely older. And what about Göbekli Tepe, thats about 11,000 years old 18.104.22.168 22:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Guess it comes down to what is meant by "surviving". Newgrange is still waterproof, Göbekli Tepe isn't. --Vinsci 11:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
It's not sure wether Göbekli Tepe ever had a roof. Newgrange had a lot of restauration over the times thought. Also, it is compared to Stonehenge as a building and you can't talk about that being waterproof, too. -- 126.96.36.199 17:38, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
There are mesolithic/neolithic barrows in England which are just as old. The West Kennet Long Barrow and Wayland's Smithy are arguably older than Newgrange, and Wayland's Smithy has the distinction of being continuously visible and accessible throughout much of its history, whereas Newgrange was buried for the best part of 4000 years. Newgrange is much more visually impressive than the other two, but it certainly isnt the oldest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Error in Translation[edit]
The mound itself is not a "sidhe". Sidhe is a general term for the fairy folk themselves. The mound is a "noc" in which sidhe may live. Pardon my poor Irish - my little bit of Gaelic is Scots. (Spelling of "noc" is wrong as it is now often spelled with a "k" at each end, which is not a Gaelic letter and I cannot remember what it should be.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not so. While sídhe (plural) is used to mean the fairy folk, the singular sídh (Old Irish síd, reformed modern Irish sí) means a fairy mound. The Aos Sí, the "folk of the mound(s)", are the fairies. --Nicknack009 (talk) 19:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Dowth Henge[edit]
I'm puzzled by the reference to "Dowth Henge" - the article on Dowth describes it as a passage tomb, while the henge article seems to describe a different structure. As my archaelogical knowledge is mainly from reading books on the topic and watching Time Team, I wondered if someone could clarify whether Dowth would be considered a henge by archaeologists. Autarch (talk) 16:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'd suggest that it's reasonable to take out the "henge" suffix from the sentence in question. As you point out, the Dowth article makes no mention of the structure being a "henge" (nor - having visited it several times - have I ever heard it described as such). It doesn't add much anyway. Guliolopez (talk) 16:36, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
There is a quotation in the text here which asserts that the entrance slab is "one of the most famous stones in the entire repertory of megalithic art". I don't doubt the validity of this statement, but - as a quote - it needs a citation/source. Any ideas where this quote is sourced from? Guliolopez (talk) 12:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Word for word from [1] "New Grange and the Bend of the Boyne By Seán P. Ó Ríordáin, Glyn Edmund Daniel, Glyn Daniel" 1964 --Doug Weller (talk) 13:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Cheers. Well spotted. Will add a book cite. Guliolopez (talk) 13:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Sliabh na Caillí[edit]
This article really should mention Sliabh na Caillí/Loughcrew, also in Meath, which is older than Newgrange, a fact unknown to most people in Ireland. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 12:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, and someone should expand the article on Slieve na Calliagh, perhaps you might consider doing so? ClemMcGann (talk) 12:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I am surprised that neither in this article nor in the one on Michael O'Kelly, is there any mention of his reconstruction of the exterior of the mound at Newgrange, in which he was forced to use reinforced concrete construction which was certainly not available to the original builders. I believe many people dispute its authenticity. Peter Bell (talk) 23:49, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Also the interior - even the solstice sun hitting a particular mark which was lined up in the 1980s. Ever stopped to wonder why it lines up so well? When the original building was lined up (if it was lined up) in accord with the earth's then position, before 4,000 years of perturbation? The passage, the carved stones and the quartz rocks were all there, but have been entirely rebuilt. The site was bronze age, the building is 1980s. If someone demolished and rebuilt the White House in 2013, would that make it a 1790s house or a 2013 house?18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:29, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- This is wrong. The roofbox wasn't rebuilt nor was it 'lined up' in the 1980s. There is controversy over the facade, and also over the sequence of its original construction and its relationship to the stone circle, but not over the alignment. Dougweller (talk) 14:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- Have another look at the 1905 photograph on the article page, there was no "lightbox" opening above the main door lintel. What was left of the interior passage was high, and there were many reasons for that. I remain a great fan of historic Newgrange, just hope the visitors don't confuse what they see with the original. As for the wonderful stones with the Triple spirals, were they original to the mound or later? this 2008 paper suggests several mounds, not one that collapsed outward.220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- The Griffith observer - Volumes 47-48 - Page 15 "Then Michael O'Kelly discovered the roof box. Excavations of the entrance of Newgrange revealed a kind of window built right above the entrance doorway. Until O'Kelly dug it out, it had been lost in the turf."
- Clive Ruggles [2] "Before Michael O'Kelly began excavations at the site in the early 1960s, visitors were perplexed by what appeared to be an additional roof slab above the entrance, apparently a false lintel about one meter (three feet) higher than the level of the main roof of the passage. This turned out to be the top of a roof-box above the passage entrance. It is through this roof-box"
- Brian Fagan [3] "When O'Kelly excavated the mound's entrance, he uncovered what he called a "roof box," a niche built just above the door lintel. He speculated that the niche had served as a container for offerings to the dead, but was puzzled by a three-foot-long rectangular slit cut into its floor."
- I'm sure there are journal articles as well. The photo only shows what could be seen, this was excavated. Dougweller (talk) 10:46, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- This[4] should help also, both with the discovery of the roof box and the stones. Dougweller (talk) 10:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- Have another look at the 1905 photograph on the article page, there was no "lightbox" opening above the main door lintel.

Needs some rewriting about the wall, relationship to stone circle, multi-mound hypothesis, etc[edit]
I agree that Eriksen's ideas should be in the article, and I recommend "Newgrange-A View from the Platform" By: Cooney, Gabriel | Antiquity, September 2006, but I don't have time now to rewrite it. Dougweller (talk) 11:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- Eriksen wrote in response " In short, there was first a passage-tomb, which may have expanded once or twice, ending up with the quartz/granite layer in front of it. Later in prehistory--perhaps in the Beaker period--the mound with the passage tomb and the quartz/granite layer in front of it was incorporated and hidden by a new mound. The platform dealt with by Gabriel Cooney moved outwards following the new limit of the mound. You could no longer see the quartz-granite platform. The entrance to the passage-grave became and remained closed and hidden until three hundred years ago, and therefore O'Kelly to his great surprise did not find artefacts in the chamber or passage later in date than the first use of the passage-grave (O'Kelly 1982: 126)." That was in 2006, I haven't read his 2009 article but see [5]. Dougweller (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Whirlpools and spirals[edit]
The original kerbstones were quarried at Clogherhead with special attention given to an area with a natural Equinox alignment -
The following image was taken close to the Equinox down by the cave at sea level -
I have noticed that on days with a slight wave motion and close to full tide that whirlpools/spirals are created in front of the entrance to that cave with the effect perhaps captured in the designs before the entrance of Newgrange. The headland itself is ringed by Greywacke rocks around its perimeter while little clusters of stones are visible on the headland when the furze bushes are burned away every decade or so with this feature imitated at Newgrange by the grey granite cobbles dotted on its quartz face. There is also the large field of ferns on the North facing side with this motif present inside the Newgrange chamber and outside on one of the Greywacke stones. For all the world Newgrange looks like an inland imitation of a natural formation but a spectacular one at that. (talk) 08:52, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Metrics revisited[edit]
I've been trying to clean up the article a bit, and part of that includes making sure that measurements are notated in a consistent form throughout. Right now, the article is part metric, part Imperial, and part metric with Imperial noted in parentheses. The last is my preference, but it is a bit cumbersome both to the editor and the reader. Would anyone care to weigh in here? Kafka Liz (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Islamabad, June 24 (ANI): Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir on Thursday rejected suggestions that the federal government and civil society's agenda to bridge the trust deficit with India is driven by the military and intelligence agencies.
Responding to pointed question posed by ANI, Bashir said: "Today, the Government is One, and by the government, it does not only mean the president, the prime minister, the parliament... it means the whole system."
"So, working out our positions and working out the agenda for moving our relations forward on all stages, all the forces - in the parliament, the (civilian and military) leaderships - we are all speaking from the same page," Bashir added.
Bashir, who was addressing the media here, said both sides had agreed that there should be frequent and regular contacts between the two sides.
'It was also agreed that Pakistan and India should work towards restoring confidence and building trust; to have a comprehensive, sustained and substantial dialogue," Bashir said.
"We believe that we have been able to accomplish this mandate in the most efficient manner. The talks have been marked by a great deal of cordiality, sincerity and earnestness. The dialogue has been very constructive," Bashir added while speaking at a joint press conference with his Indian counterpart Nirupama Rao. By Smita Prakash (ANI)

Barrington cleaning up after powerful storm
Hail, gusting winds and torrential downpours on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 3, left work crews and residents all across Barrington cleaning up on Wednesday morning.
The southern section of Rumstick Road was hit hard as a large beech tree fell across power lines and left residents in the dark. At about 10 a.m., crews from Davey Tree Expert Company carefully cut branches off a web of wires a couple hundred feet north of the intersection of Vans Lane and Rumstick.
Workers and trucks from National Grid and Verizon waited nearby. Some folks in the area said they were told it could be another six or seven hours before all utilities were restored.
According to Barrington Department of Public Works Director Alan Corvi, trees and branches covered other roads in town after the hard-hitting storm blew through the area on Tuesday. He said DPW workers were on Opechee Drive and Plymouth Drive as well as other roads removing downed limbs.
One town over in Warren, people said damage from the storm was so severe that some thought a tornado may have touched down briefly.


text: it is very quite here at Baxter in the Bioscience divisions - including the ivig and hemophilia business units. Is this the calm before the storm. Will the hemophilia organization decrease from 30 to 15? Heck our product is 6 + years old and is still over priced. No of us TBM's are making any money in commissions. Our counterparts are not hitting their goals. I am not sure about a layoff coming but wanted to put it out there and see if anyone has the or some information. Like I said it is very very calm right now.

Reasons Why You Should Hire a Business Strategy Consultant for Your Company
Even if your business is a small one, it is still important to find someone who can help bring the business to greater heights. Likewise, even if a company is established already, there is still a need to hire a good business consultant. First and foremost, a consultant is professionally trained to work on problems. As such, he can help speed things up even when the problem is quite difficult. Second, a business consultant's primary goal is to help company leaders come up with an informed decision for various problems and industries. Third, a business consultant is a company's best access to proper knowledge and information. Here are more reasons why you should hire a business consultant for your business, especially if you want it to succeed.
Hiring a Business Consultant Will Help You Save Money and Time
With a business consultant, you do not have to hire a lot of people to do a variety of tasks, like decision-making. Your business consultant can take care of complicated tasks, even the ones that are way out of your league.
With a Business Consultant, You Don't Have to Hire Someone Whenever You Need an Expert
Business consultants are trained to identify, analyze, and understand various issues, situations, and problems in different fields. Therefore, when you need help or someone who has a special expertise (as in coming up with solutions for delicate situations), you do not have to call on anybody else. A business consultant is an all-around guy; he can help you whenever, wherever, and for whatever.
Business Consultants Offer a Different Perspective on Issues and Situations
The best and most important contribution of a business consultant is a different perspective and fresh ideas on issues and situations. You'll value his opinions and ideas because he is not the type who agrees or disagrees just because everybody else does. He offers his fresh ideas and opinions on certain issues. As such, you are given new perspectives that can be helpful for your business.

Free Newmexican: S.F. man recounts chaos in the Dome
The MSM is asking, "Where in the hell was FEMA in New Orleans?"
The Answer - Right There!
" Paramedic's N.M. team stays behind to treat storm victims Article Dated 9 September, 2005
You would think Greg Hesch, a critical-care paramedic from Eldorado, would have seen it all by now. Since he joined the New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team in 1989, he has chased mayhem all over the country.
Hesch dove into Hurricane Andrew in 1992. In 2001, he witnessed the shock in New York after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. These are just the big ones in a long line of disasters where he has been called to the rescue.
But when Hesch stepped into the world of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans 11 days ago, he found unusual, unsettling things. First, the obvious: The catastrophic damage was incomparable to anything he'd seen before.
Hesch -- one of 35 people in a self-contained, federally funded team from New Mexico -- arrived in New Orleans at 3 a.m. Aug. 30 with 20 tons of supplies. Without a wink of sleep, the group set up treatment tents in the Louisiana Superdome, which was packed with tens of thousands of refugees.
But between 9 and 10 a.m., their plans were quickly altered. "We had people running through screaming that the levy just broke, and we had to evacuate," Hesch said in a telephone interview from Louisiana on Thursday.
Usually a hurricane rips through a town in one day, and then the next is sunny and dry. Not in New Orleans, which Hesch described as a bowl that filled up with dirty water.
As the water rose, so did the group of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and emergency technicians from New Mexico. They fled to the bleachers and then to the third level of the Superdome.
Hesch was dumbfounded by what he saw around him. Disaster teams from other states evacuated.
"It was very unique because they were yelling for us to get on the bus," Hesch said.
But Mike Richards, an Albuquerque doctor who heads the team, replied, "No! New Mexico isn't going anywhere!"
Alone, the New Mexico team -- and one doctor from New Orleans -- set up a full-scale acute medical-care clinic by 11 a.m. in the basketball and hockey arena, which is connected to the Superdome by a causeway. The sick and injured from the Superdome came to them. Some had head injuries. Some had gunshot wounds. Some had cuts on their bodies from walking through the water-filled streets. Some had gone cold turkey off their medications.
In the space of 40 hours, the staff treated 800 to 1,000 patients. Hesch said he sutured wounds under the light of his headlamp.
Sleep was impossible. One time, when Hesch and the team stretched out on the floor in the sports club to nap, low air pressure in the building triggered the alarm system. Strobe lights flashed, sirens blared and a recorded voice said, "Please, do not use the elevator."
"It quite literally was like a set from Hollywood," Hesch said in a hoarse voice. "It was like a lightning storm of strobe lights."
The staff disabled the alarms and the voice speaker, but they could not stop the strobes.
More startling for Hesch were the attitudes of the refugees in New Orleans. "I saw both ends of the spectrum and not much in between. Either they were ramping up and getting angry and wanting your stuff or they were very helpful," he said. "It's not really something I've ever seen before."
In other disasters where Hesch has worked, people pulled tightly together as a community. But New Orleans didn't seem to know how to do that. "The Dome turned into a den of depravity at some point," he said, noting reports of rapes and people beaten to death.
Some screamed at Hesch, "You should give me your cell phone!" Others demanded to know, "Where are all the resources?" He told them the break in the levees and the heavily populated city had created a difficult problem.
Hesch, luckily, met a few of what he calls "salt of the earth" people who kept him from losing faith in humankind. Two brothers who cleaned up the wreckage. A quadriplegic man in a wheelchair who took care of his cantankerous 84-year-old mother. A circle of people singing hymns.
"That was uplifting, but the rest of the time was like walking in a tiger's den," Hesch said.
In the midst of chaos, Hesch noticed a missing ingredient that could have helped. "Usually martial law is imposed so order is maintained," Hesch said. "Here, we did not have that."
The National Guardsmen deployed to New Orleans were young, inexperienced and not intimidating, he said. By contrast, at Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the 82nd Airborne Special Forces carried locked and loaded AK-47s at all times, with the National Guard in strong force, he said.
A former Air Force guy himself, Hesch and other ex-military members of the team planned to set up a defense perimeter and "fight to the end," if the situation grew dangerous.
That didn't happen.
By Aug. 31, the Federal Emergency Management Agency told the exhausted New Mexico team it was time to leave. "You guys are just incredible but you're pushing it way too far," Hesch recalls FEMA telling the crew.
Before he left New Orleans, Hesch was confounded once again. A FEMA convoy from California had come under attack. People threw rocks at it.
Upon advice of others, the New Mexico team removed all signs that connected its vehicles to FEMA. "They told us, 'Be careful not to run over any dead bodies, and keep this as quiet as possible,' " Hesch said.
It wasn't a slow drive out.
Now located at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, the New Mexico team works with the Illinois Medical Emergency Response Team and the Louisiana Department of Health to treat patients at another makeshift hospital. It's one of the largest field operations ever set up in the United States, according to Richards.
On Wednesday, FEMA recognized the New Mexico team, the Illinois team and the Louisiana Department of Health for doing an outstanding job. And team members celebrated with a water-balloon fight.
As New Mexicans sort out the mess from afar, Hesch has a few insights he'd like to share: "I would tell people to be patient with their government and understanding because this is the nation's biggest disaster, bar none."
Hesch said he is disgusted that some Americans, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, are claiming that relief didn't come quickly because New Orleans has a large black population.
"It had nothing to do with race," Hesch said. "It had to do with the fact that New Orleans exists 12 feet below sea level. That is the big problem."
The other big problem, he said, were the high numbers of people trapped in the disaster. He said the city of New Orleans should have organized a more persuasive evacuation, using school buses and other means."
As I said here, the response of FEMA was better than in recent storms. They WERE there, but this was a catastrophe like no other. Note the mention of the buses - the BUSES The TRUTH is that the Government was there, the MSM didn't report this story, but they were there - IN FORCE - which means "YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO".
It's time to stop the BS of the MSM, and get the truth out about what happen. Consider this a call from an old 'war-horse' to conservative bloggers everywhere - "Charge!".

The Walking Dead: Season 5 (DVD)
Brand: Big Box Outlet Store
Product Code: 013132636207
Availability: In stock
The previous season of "The Walking Dead" ended with Rick and the group out gunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate.
What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.
Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, sage place to call home, one question will haunt them...After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost and held on to no matter what the cost...Who do they become?

2.7 trillion in special treasury bonds (a.k.a. IOUs) is not a surplus.
Those days are over.
I wonder how much Zer0's payroll tax "holiday" will lower the benefits of future retirees...especially boomers.
How long that can be sustained is anyone's guess, but it sure looks like the classic hyperinflationary spiral (ie: the snake is eating it's tail!)

I LOVE these Friday Silliness threads!
Since 2010, Obama has done absolutely nothing to address this issue. He needs to be called out on this - and not be allowed to get away with his pat "soak the rich" solution.
Does anyone remember during the debt ceiling debacle last Summer, Obama said he couldn't guarantee SS checks would go out if agreement wasn't reached?
If the SS surplus is real, why would he have said that? (rhetorical Q)
What amazes me is that 40 million plus Americans actually pay AARP every year to tell them the "trust fund surplus" is real.

Worldwide oil demand will grow by 1.4 million barrels per day in 2015, up from growth of 1.2 million this year, the International Energy Agency said Friday. Demand will be driven by 4.2% growth from China, up from 3.3% in 2014. Non-OPEC countries will boost supply by 1.2 million bpd, meeting most of the demand growth, with the U.S. and Canada accounting for two-thirds of that.
Here is a summary of top world and U.S. economic news for Friday, July 11, 2014.
Obama to business: Pay suppliers faster
The White House touted a new initiative to get major companies to speed up payments to small firms that serve as contractors. Among 26 companies involved are Apple (AAPL), Honda (HMC), Coca-Cola (KO), Walgreen (WAG), FedEx (FDX) and IBM (IBM). The program mirrors a federal government effort to pay contractors within 15 days, aiding cash flow and making it easier to grow.
Canada's economy lost 9,400 jobs in June and the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.1%, Statistics Canada reported. The details were a bit better, with 33,500 full-time jobs added. Part-time jobs fell back after rising by 26,000 the prior month. Over the past year, job growth has averaged a tepid 6,000 per month.
Socialist to get key European economy post
Jean-Claude Juncker, who is widely expected to be confirmed as the new head of the European Commission next week, pledged to name a socialist as economic affairs commissioner to reward the center-left members of the coalition supporting him. The post has been held by a fiscal hawk.
France's current-account deficit widened to $4.2 billion in May from $3.1 billion in April, as the goods deficit increased and the service surplus narrowed.
Germany's inflation rate rose 0.4% in June from May, the Destasis national statistics office said. The annual inflation rate picked up to 1% from 0.6% in May. Inflation in the broader euro zone was just 0.5% in June. European Central Bank officials have said that low inflation in Germany makes it harder for other euro members to adjust wages and become more competitive economically.
Hungary's consumer prices fell 0.3% in June from a year ago, amid lower food and energy prices. Hungary's central bank has been cutting its main interest rate for two years, from 7% to 2.2%, and further cuts are expected.

Cuba: As U.S. Chamber of Commerce solons junket to Havana and call for trade with Cuba, arrests of dissidents there have hit a 10-year high, with a record 1,100 this month alone. Seems cash inflows make the regime meaner.
Thomas J. Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is the latest prominent U.S. visitor to travel to the Castro brothers' shambling socialist hellhole to praise their so-called economic reforms as "a good start" and to call for an end to the 52-year-old trade embargo.
"We're very pleased to be here," Donohue said, according to the Associated Press. "We're learning a lot about the changes taking place in Cuba," he added, suggesting that change is coming to the rigid communist tyranny.
They're changing, all right — not so much in the establishment of the occasional private button seller or car-repair cooperative (one of which Donohue toured)or even private media outlet (swiftly shut down by regime hackers last week) touted by Donohue — but in the flood of cash that's inundated Cuba in recent years.
Like a tag team, President Obama has loosened key provisions of the U.S. trade embargo to permit cash remittances along with existing trade in food and medicine and new kinds of tourism, while Cuba's cash patron, Venezuela, has sent gifts, investments and loans, according to a new study by the U.S.-based Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy.
Legal U.S. trade to Cuba came to $506 million in 2012, according to Commerce Department data, down from $962 million in 2008, but still more than half a billion a year. Cash remittances to Cuba that same year — mostly from the U.S. — soared to $2.6 billion, according to a study by the Havana Consulting Group, which reported that the remittances were the largest element of support for Cuba's retail sector — and more even than Cuba earns from sugar, tourism, nickel or pharmaceuticals.
Then there's tourism, now permitted by the Obama administration, ostensibly for family visits and educational purposes, which amounts to expatriate and leftist travel, in the neighborhood of another $2 billion a year.
All of these lifelines rolling in to the Castro regime have had a noticeable effect: A harder state hand against Cuba's beleaguered democracy campaigners.
Political arrests in Cuba hit a record 1,120 in May, with 1,000-plus tallies for each month of 2014, putting the regime on pace for 12,000 arrests of dissidents this year, twice the amount for over the past two years.
But is there really a link? There is.
Humberto Fontova, who discussed his new book, "The Longest Romance: The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro," in a speech last week in Los Angeles, pointed out that the key to understanding the link between higher cash inflows and dissident repression is that "Cuba is a military dictatorship in the most authentic sense of the word."
As the regime allows cosmetic changes with avocado sellers here and there, the only businesses of any heft — and of any real business interest to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in reality — remain those owned and run by the Cuban military, which dictator Raul Castro has headed for decades.
Golf courses, hotels, retail establishments where goods are available, are all military run, Fontova noted.
"As long as the military is fat and happy, they're going to keep things going as they are," Fontova said.
"There's been an avalanche of cash to Castro" from the West, and "political repression is at a 10-year high."
"President Obama abolished President Bush's travel and remittance restrictions to a point where the cash flow from the U.S. to Cuba in 2011-12 was estimated by Senator Marco Rubio's staff at $4 billion a year, while a proud Soviet satrapy Cuba received $3 (billion)-$5 billion annually from the Soviets (during the 1980s). Some embargo," Fontova told IBD by e-mail.
That raises questions about where the U.S. is going with its increased calls from both public and private sectors for lightening up on Castro's regime — because everything points to it bankrolling more repression.

So excited for this group. I hope they all nail it. Especially hopeful for Caroline, I just saw her SP today, what a comeback.
please lets see everyone just do their best-i dont care who wins-just skate free girls-loving thoughts to san jose!
Sorry about this but...
I see London, I see France, I see Alissa's underpants.
I understand the skirt flying up from skating...but through the skirt? That's a bit too see through.
So, the lingerie dress (Alissa's) looks better on TV (thank god). They look fierce. Mirai looks determined. I'm freaking nervous! Good luck to everyone!!!!
iwshing christina gao a good performance (even though i dont like her LP this year)
Christina Gao got an 800 on the math section of the SAT and has been accepted to Harvard, wow go her!
(Funny thing is, it's reminded me how on the GRE, an 800 on the math section is only 94th percentile.)
Addition to the list of skaters moving up: Kiri Baga was 14th in the short and is currently in 6th. She can finish no lower than 10th. Great job, Kiri!

Per the only poll that counts in my book, Scott Rasmussen, on the Miers nomination:
"October 13, 2005--Americans are evenly divided as to whether or not Harriet Miers should be confirmed to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 65% believe she is likely to be confirmed. Just 18% say that confirmation is not very likely or not at all likely.
Despite vocal opposition from many Republican activists, most Republicans across the county support the President's selection. Fifty-four percent (54%) of the GOP faithful say the President's nominee should be confirmed. Only 17% disagree.
Republicans supported the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts by a 64% to 11% margin.
Contrary to popular opinion, the 'kids are alright!'
UPDATE: Drudge Report had a "Flash" up today:
"The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a copy of sworn testimony given by Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers in 1989 in which she said that she "wouldn't belong to the Federalist Society" – a conservative and libertarian lawyers' organization – because it was "politically charged."
Just a note. In 1989, The Federalist Society was a brand new organization and at that time was considered a politically charged "fringe group".
They are digging the bottom of the lake now.
What's next?
She fathered "Bat Boy"?
On to the Confirmation hearings already!
UPDATE: Read AJ Strata's new post on what might be behind the motives of at least one critic of Harriet - hmmmm, sour grapes?

|Sshexec task hanging
|Tue, 08 Aug 2006 22:40:06 GMT
I've got an sshexec task that never exits, and I need to solicit some opinions on the problem. The reasons behind it are well-known; if an ssh command starts a long-running in the background, then ssh doesn't know when it should exit. >From the purist standpoint, this is expected behavior. In practice, I need a workaround. If I'm starting an application server, for example, I have succeeded if my ssh command completes and returns a successful error code, regardless of whatever may be backgrounded. The Ant manual entry on sshexec does not hint at any solutions to this behavior. Does anyone have any suggestions as to workarounds or resolutions? ***** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.
