ROCHESTER — Don't let the drop at the pump in recent weeks fool you. Motorists are paying more for gas than they were a year ago. On average, Rochester and Farmington drivers are shelling out about 19 cents more per gallon of regular unleaded.
Proving the disconnect between crude oil and pump prices, a barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil has dropped $12 over the same time frame, from $100.61 on Dec. 27, 2011 to $88.62 this past Monday.
Additionally, New Hampshire motorists have been paying more for a gallon of regular gas over the past three months than their counterparts across the rest of the country. On average, we're spending $3.34 per gallon now, compared with the national average of $3.25, according to www.newhampshiregasprices.com. It's an unusual trend that began around the second week of September. Over the past decade, the state has generally mirrored the national average or been slightly lower.
Locally, prices at the pump aren't fluctuating from station to station as they were during the crazy years following Hurricane Katrina. The greatest price difference in a Rochester Times survey of gas stations in Rochester and Farmington, was only six cents per gallon for regular unleaded.
Sitting at the lower end of the scale were Rochester's Irving station on Route 125, heading toward Barrington and Cumberland Farms on North Main Street, both of which posted prices of $3.33 on Christmas Eve. Five stations tied for the highest local prices, pennies above those two, with a price of $3.39. Those were Rochester's Sunoco on Columbus Avenue, the Shell and BP on North Main Street, the Mobil on Farmington Road, and in Farmington, the Mobil on Route 11.
We will note as we always do, that prices at stations can vary depending on when fuel deliveries are made and that the local owners usually make very little profit per gallon. Most stations need either a convenience store of service area in order to stay afloat.

Robust free speech must be strenuously protected, but a written rant by a New Zealand First MP goes beyond defensible lazy thinking to racist insult, and must be condemned
There's nothing quite like a political foot-in-mouth story; indeed, journalists go out of their way to provoke those in power to mis-speak as a way of testing their suitability for high office. So it's quite an achievement when a politician, writing in the calm of his own home or office, inserts his foot so firmly and offensively into his own trap. Take a bow, Richard Prosser.
Writing in that bastion of reason, Investigate, the New Zealand First MP has shared his views on the rights of young Muslims to international travel. In brief - though I have read only media reports thus far - he seems to think they have none. On the logic that most terrorists are Muslims, he suggests young Muslims, indeed anyone from a "a Muslim country" should be quarantined, writing:
If you are a young male, aged between say about 19 and about 35, and you're a Muslim, or you look like a Muslim, or you come from a Muslim country, then you are not welcome to travel on any of the West's airline."
The logic is simplistic to the point of daftness. If Prosser's concern is public safety, aren't handguns more a threat? The gun debate in the US after Sandy Hook, for example, has shown that in the five years to 2010, almost 50,000 people were shot to death by firearms in the States alone.
What does a Muslim look like? Mullar Omah or Richard Reid or Ice Cube or Imran Khan or Muhammad Ali or Fareed Zakaria? OK, they may not be under 25, but the stupidity of linking ethnicity to faith remains.
Worst of all, it seems that to Prosser simply being born in a Muslim country should deny you freedom of movement. What is a Muslim country? One with sharia law or just one with a 51% Muslim population? Indonesia is often described as the world's largest Muslim country with 90% of its 240 million people followers of Islam. But what about the other 24 million? Should all of those who are men and aged 19-35 be trapped? Sounds like a great way to breed resentment and anger, cut connections with the rest of the world and role model bigotry.
He writes about "our aeroplanes" as if the "West" is a single entity. He wants Muslims banned from plans until it has purged itself of "extremists". What measure does he suggest for that? Has any religion - can any religion - achieve such purity or orthodoxy of thought? No. Will we put such restrictions on other faiths, ethnicities or nationalities?
Having said all that, such views are not unknown. Other politicians in other countries have made lame generalisations about Muslims and acts of terror. Sloppy language is not uncommon in this sensitive area. Pope Benedict's resignation brings to mind his widely condemned decision to quote a 14th century Christan emperor who said Islam brought the world only "evil" and "inhuman" things.
But Prosser isn't just sloppy. He goes further:
I will not stand by while their [his daughters'] rights and freedoms of other New Zealanders and Westerners, are denigrated by a sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from Wogistan …
Seriously? Wogs? That's not a matter of Prosser's debateable world view, it's childish name-calling. It's an insult thrown at countries that include friends and major trading partners, and will be reported all round the world. It's an inch from the N word. And it's unacceptable from someone in public office.
I believe in the right of vigorous free speech and the right to offend in the quest for truth. I think people are often looking to be offended and too quickly call foul on good, robust debate. But this, again, is just racist name-calling.
And in the week where the Speaker wouldn't allow a West Papuan campaigner for self-determination speak about the woes in his homeland, it would be insanely ironic to let this slur go unchallenged.
Prosser's words are crass insults and have no more right to the free speech defence than Pope Benedict would have had back in 2006. They requires immediate condemnation from his leader (who as a former Foreign Minister knows a thing or two about diplomacy), an apology from the MP himself and some censure.
To whom much is given, much will be expected. And with public office comes serious responsibilities, such as not behaving like a miffed nine year-old.

Interview with Jon Snow
- In Interviews
- Post 09 January 2001
- Last Updated on 28 October 2010
By David Edwards
DE: "There's a radical analysis of the media which says that wealthy owners, parent companies, advertisers, and so on, act as filters that tend to remove facts and ideas damaging to powerful corporate and state interests. Are you aware of that argument, and what do you make of it...?"
JS: "I'm aware of the argument; I don't believe it's true."
DE: "You don't believe it's true."
JS: "No. No. I mean I don't think that's the motivation. I think they just know that sex and those sort of things sell a lot better. After all, Channel 4 has no institutional owner. What process would exist to fulfil this operation in Channel 4?"
DE: "Well..."
JS: "A wholly owned, publicly owned trust."
DE: "Well, for example..."
JS: "I turn your attention to the 9th of January, 2001, page 8 of the Independent review. I think you would get a very interesting insight into the way sex is taking over from facts. But maybe sex is facts, who knows!"
DE: "Richard Ingrams wrote in the Observer last year, 'When the newspapers are obviously doing so well out of all this [mobile phone] advertising, it is not so surprising that they tend not to give much coverage to the growing evidence that mobile phones are not only anti-social but extremely dangerous.' Isn't that..."
JS: "Well, but I don't +agree+ with that. Unfortunately, and I've tried bloody hard on this, there just +isn't+ the evidence, and that's the problem."
DE: "Well have you heard of the Wireless Technology Research Group?"
JS: "I have."
DE: "They..."
JS: "But I mean, all these findings are extremely problematical, and the Government's own research has also failed to pin it. I'm +very+ keen to pin mobile phones, I'd like to see them out of operation as of today."
DE: "Tim Radford in the Guardian said there is no evidence that mobile phones can cause harm. The BBC news has said that, so has the ITN and so has the Independent..."
JS: "Well we've also said that they do cause harm but have not been able to prove it."
DE: "But it's quite a different thing to say there is +no+ evidence isn't it? I mean there is evidence, even anecdotal evidence."
JS: "I'm not even sure there is. I don't think there is. You see the thing is about all these things, it's so much easier for hacks to be able to blame some corporate conspiracy that prevents them from discussing these matters. Unfortunately, I wish there was, we would really have something to kick against then. I think, mainly, the biggest culprit in all this is the hack: journalists are lazy, they live in a goldfish bowl, they're not interested in breaking out and breaking this stuff themselves. And it isn't because they've got the advertisers breathing down their necks – they couldn't give a shit about the advertisers – it's because it's easier to do other things, where they're spoon-fed."
DE: "For example, the New York Times – one calculation was that it's about 65% adverts..."
JS: "I'm surprised it's as little as that."
DE: "... NBC's owned by General Electric and CBS is owned by Westinghouse..."
JS: "Yes but it's no good looking at the United States to get your... What about looking here?"
DE: "But shouldn't these issues be discussed?"
JS: "Well they are discussed all the time, but we don't look to the United States for quality journalism."
DE: "But have you seen a systemic analysis of the threat to freedom of information of the fact...?"
JS: "I have and unfortunately I don't travel with it."
DE: "Where have you seen it in the mainstream press?"
JS: "Well I've seen it in the Guardian media section; I've seen it in the Observer. There have been discussions about media ownership over the years – it comes up every time one of these organs changes hands."
DE: "But shouldn't it be a ...?"
JS: "Look at Desmond taking over the Express. I mean the Express wasn't worth taking over in the first place, but anyway, this is the reduction of something which once purported to be a right-wing political daily, which is now going to become a sex mag. Now is that some great corporate conspiracy? Alas not!"
DE: "Well I'm certainly not suggesting it's a corporate conspiracy; what I'm suggesting is that the profit-orientation of the media, the fact that they are so dependent on advertisers, they are owned by wealthy owners..."
JS: "But +we're+ not owned by wealthy owners, we're mainstream..."
DE: "I know, I'm not just talking about Channel 4, I'm talking generally."
JS: "No, but I am giving you Channel 4 as an example. I'll give you the BBC as an example."
DE: "But don't you think this sort of debate should be standard for the media?"
JS: "Well I mean, but there are plenty of things that ought to be standard for the media. I mean, I don't think the self-interest of who owns us is necessarily the most paramount issue we should be dealing with."
DE: "But I mean the whole range of issues of influences?"
JS: "Well how about tobacco, do you want to do that?"
DE: "Well, I'll tell you what I would like to do is Pinochet. Greg Palast wrote in the Observer: 'The October 1970 plot against Chile's President-elect Salvador Allende, using CIA "sub-machine guns and ammo", was the direct result of a plea for action a month earlier by Donald Kendall, chairman of PepsiCo, in two telephone calls to the company's former lawyer, President Richard Nixon.' I saw that in the Observer, but I didn't see it discussed anywhere else. Did you see that discussed anywhere else?"
JS: "Well, I haven't seen that particular story discussed anywhere else, but we all +know+ that the Pinochet coup was a corporate American coup, and it's been detailed to bloody oblivion! If I read another story about ITT..."
DE: "Did you cover it?"
JS: "I was +involved+! I +went+! I +reported+ it!"
DE: "I didn't see it in the mainstream press, apart from..."
JS: "But it happened in +1970+... When was the coup in Chile? I can't even remember, it was so long ago!"
DE: "But Pinochet was under house arrest for 18 months; I was amazed that I didn't see it discussed during that period."
JS: "But it was discussed very extensively at the time of the coup."
DE: "But not when he was under house arrest."
JS: "Well what difference would that make?"
DE: "Well isn't it incredibly important that Palast – he wrote this article basically saying that corporate America was behind it..."
JS: "Well who is he?"
DE: "He's a columnist with the Observer."
JS: "But why should I be following up something he's written?"
DE: "But as you say, it's widely known but not discussed."
JS: "But it +is+ discussed. There's nobody who discusses Chile who doesn't know it's a corporate conspiracy. If there is, introduce me! ITT led the coup – that's a fact!"
DE: "Did you discuss that much on Channel 4?"
JS: "Endlessly! But there isn't anybody who's discussed Chile and not mentioned the corporate American involvement!"
DE: "Have you heard of the British historian Mark Curtis?"
JS: "I don't know."
DE: "He argues that there's a pattern to post-1945 British and US interventions, basically defending profits and installing people like the Shah in Iran..."
JS: "Oh this is bollocks! Total bollocks!"
DE: "Do you think so?"
JS: "Utter bollocks!"
DE: "Really."
JS: "I wish it was true, it would make life so much easier."
DE: "Why do you think it's bollocks?"
JS: "Because, I'm afraid there are many, many other factors. Do you know the role Winston Churchill played in disposing of... of the brilliant, democratically elected prime minister, 1952 – what the fuck was his name? – the greatest Iranian politician of all time?"
DE: "Mussadiq."
JS: "Mussadiq, wonderful man – assassinated by Britain. Do you hear people discussing that? There's a conspiracy not to tell the truth about Iran!"
DE: "I don't think there's a conspiracy at all, I reject all ideas of a conspiracy. But it is extraordinary that these issues aren't discussed."
JS: "You're calling for a debate which, quite frankly, is out there to be had any time you want it."
DE: "Really?"
JS: "Yes. I just don't travel with +any+ of this crap! What I travel with is lazy journalism."
DE: "But isn't there a pattern to the lazy journalism?"
JS: "No, unfortunately there is +not+! You mean, white, middle-class, middle-aged men, sitting around desks hatching plots which have nothing to do with the main interests of women and ethnic minorities? Well there is a bit of that, yes!"
DE: "Can I talk about global warming briefly?"
JS: "Global warming you can. I think you're +bananas+!"
DE: "Do you?"
JS: "You're completely off the clock!" (laughs)
DE: "Oh really (laughs). Well that's fair enough, yeah."
JS: "You should attend some of the editorial meetings in the mornings. You'd hear all this stuff flying."
DE: "Obviously there was the failure of the Hague convention, and very little coverage of that in the States. Now..."
JS: "I must say, this newspaper or news programme that you have in mind will be fantastically dull watching. So far it's going to be a few letters to a man from Pepsi-cola. It's going to be a discussion of a coup that occurred over 30 years ago. It's going to be a discussion of the murder of a politician in Iran in 1952. What about living in the present?"
DE: "That's why I want to talk to you about global warming. The US National Association of Manufacturers have said on their website, 'We oppose the Kyoto Protocol and urge the President and Congress to reject it.' Big business in America is against the Kyoto Protocol..."
JS: "That has been repeatedly covered in +every+ newspaper I've seen discussing Kyoto. It has been completely trashed by American corporate business. There is +nobody+ that has not accused America of being the dirty man of the Kyoto convention."
DE: "But they tend not to identify the +corporate+ obstructionists..."
JS: "I think they do..."
DE: "Geoffrey Lean said in the Independent, "The good news is that industry is ahead of politicians". The New Scientist said: "Arguably, it is now business rather than governments that are leading the drive against greenhouse gases. If American industry is moving this way, it's unlikely that Bush will oppose it."
JS: "Well you're reading the wrong organs, that's all I can say. I've seen plenty of it in the Observer and the Guardian, and in the Herald Tribune, which is after all an American newspaper... I +totally+ reject this!"
DE: "You totally reject it."
JS: "+Totally+! I wouldn't even give it five minutes. I'd like to support it because it would make life so easy. We'd have an enemy that we could really define and paint into a corner."
DE: "Have you actually read any of the analyses that support this case, like Manufacturing Consent, by Herman and Chomsky, for example?"
JS: "Chomsky I've read endlessly on both global warming and Third World fascism."
DE: "Have you read Manufacturing Consent?"
JS: "I have."
DE: "And you don't think there's any credibility..."
JS: "But I mean, lots of what Chomsky says appears in the mainstream press, amazingly; it's just that you don't want to read it."
DE: "He says it doesn't."
JS: "Well, he's wrong! He doesn't read the British press."
DE: "Well he does actually. His favourite newspaper's the Financial Times. What Chomsky basically says is that there is a filtering process, whereby the corporate media tends not to radically criticise corporate behaviour - that's his fundamental argument. He says it's not a conspiracy, it just ends up that way."
JS: "Well, I'm sorry to say, it either happens or it doesn't happen. If it does happen, it's a conspiracy; if it doesn't happen, it's not a conspiracy."
DE: "Couldn't it happen unconsciously, with people not aware of the pressures they're under to conform?"
JS: "Well where are these pressure coming from – identify them for me? I can tell you if somebody rings me up from Pepsi-cola – and I must say I don't think I've ever been rung by any corporation, would that I was! – I'd give them short shrift!"
DE: "Couldn't you argue that the fact that wealthy owners own corporations, they recruit the editors who recruit the journalists – you could argue that..."
JS: "Yeah, but your big problem is that you're dealing with a multi-media activity in Britain, in which there is a huge non-corporate involvement. What is the consequence of that? Does it produce anything different? Question! Does it? I don't know!"
DE: "There is a complex range of influences..."
JS: "I mean the Scott Trust owns the Guardian. What effect does that have? Is the Guardian the same as all other newspapers? Does it make any difference who owns the paper? Who knows!"
DE: "But a third of newspaper profits are made up of advertising."
JS: "Sure."
DE: "Isn't that, even unconsciously, going to be a strong influence on what people report?"
JS: "Well how do you propose to fund them?"
DE: "Well that's a different question isn't it."
JS: "No it +isn't+! You want to produce a bland, boring, under-financed bloody media, which has no adverts, and which prattles on about events that occurred 30 years ago."
DE: "Not at all. What I'm saying is, shouldn't the influence of advertisers even be discussed? I very rarely see that discussed. It's such an obvious issue."
JS: "Well I think what would be much more intelligent would be to get somebody to do some research and show how it affects the content of the paper."
DE: "That's what these radical analyses attempt to do."
JS: "Not very successfully, as far as I can see! I'm sorry to say I would look to lazy journalism before I start to look to corporate interference... I'm a numero uno fan of Chomsky, but I live in the real world and I do not experience these things... Britain boasts some of the most right-wing media in the world. I mean, that's what people want. It also boasts the Guardian, also boasts the FT."
DE: "You consider the Guardian liberal do you?"
JS: "I consider it mainstream centre."
DE: "So where's the mainstream left, then?"
JS: "Well, unfortunately, the mainstream left don't seem to be able to get any money together to run a newspaper. Well whose fault is that? Yours and mine! We're too busy looking for conspiracies! We should be running newspapers instead."

Wow, OJ Mayo and Wes Johnson for Grant Hill. That's an absolute steal for you Cooooach. Mayo might be stinking it up for now, but he'll come good, no doubt about it.

No collute. Grant Hill has got hot and that's what he see's.. I'm banking on the old man to break down I hope not though, because I like Grant Hill. I just needed to shake-up my team. I have been injured up the wahzoo. I need healthy bodies that are going to play large minutes. Johnson and Mayo give me that. Plus they are both young.
Mayo is only getting around 20 minutes a game lately so I had to move him for something decent. This will end up a horrible trade for me tho if he ends up getting traded. Anyway, Im also putting Collison on the block, so if anyone wants him send me a trade proposal. I'm not in a hurry to move him tho.

Need a bigger truck? How about one that you could literally drive for days? Then the Ram Long-Hauler maybe for you. Ram Truck is showcasing the Long-Hauler at select events this summer, starting this week at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville.
This 24-ft. "concept truck" includes a mega cab, 8-ft. bed, and the ability to hold up to 170 gals. of fuel at any given time. Bring your credit card when you fill this monster up.
Based on a Class 5 Ram 5500 chassis cab, the Long-Hauler includes a mid-ship fuel tank, a second frame-mounted tank, and an optional bed-mounted tank to bring the capacity to 170 gals. It has a 197.4 in. wheelbase with a 37,500 gross combined weight rating. It stands 79.1 in. tall and weighs in at 9,300 lbs.
Want power?
The Long-Hauler uses an inline 6-cyliner 6.7 liter high output Cummins Turbo Diesel rated at 800 lbs.-ft. of torque mated to a 6-speed Aisin AS68RC automatic transmission with four-wheel-drive transfer case coupled to a 4.88 Dana 110 axle with dual rear wheels.
A Kelderman air suspension front and rear with 19.5-in. Alcoa aluminum wheels provide the base. There is a self-leveling system on the suspension which includes a kneel feature. According to Ram, the ride qualities have more in common with a ¾-ton pickup rather than a Class 5 truck.
Figuring that the vehicle will be used by "race car teams, car haulers, RV owners, ranchers and rodeo competitors, boaters and commercial expediting operations," the company has included a back-up camera to make hooking up a trailer to the fifth wheel even easier. A custom hitch-access tailgate allows easy hook-ups without the need to open or remove the entire tailgate.
The size is impressive enough, but what's inside is equally spectacular. An upgraded NVH package cuts down on noise and vibration. Drivers will ride in style with the 2+2 leather seating and a high-comfort driver seat. For rear passengers, power-adjustable footrests and a rear center console that includes a refrigerator, cup holders, and tray tables, make riding in the back just a little bit easier.
There are both 115-volt and 12-volt outlets in the front and rear and the vehicle includes WiFi to allow for laptop usage while the truck is in motion. There is a laptop storage area as well.
For safety sake, Ram Truck includes a tire pressure monitoring system, rear axle temperature gauge, and exhaust gas temperature and boost gauges. There is also an overhead DVD player for passengers, and if you're a little on the tired side, there is no need to keep driving, just fold flat the rear seats and console to create a nice resting area.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will try to identify and understand the genetic factors that lead to an inner ear malformation called "enlarged vestibular aqueducts", that can be associated with hearing loss.
Patients with sensorineural hearing loss with or without inner ear malformations and their parents and siblings may be eligible for this study. Participants and their immediate family members, may undergo some or all of the following tests and procedures:
- Medical and family history, including questions about hearing, balance and other ear-related issues, and review of medical records.
- Routine physical examination.
- Blood draw or buccal swab (brushing inside the cheek to collect cells) - Tissue is collected for DNA analysis to look for changes in genes that may be related to hearing loss.
- Hearing tests - The subject listens for tones emitted through a small earphone.
- Balance test (VEMP) to see if balance functions of the inner ear are associated with the hearing loss Electrodes will be placed behind your ear and at the base of your neck. From a reclining position, you will be asked to raise your head while clicking sounds are played into your ears. - Ultrasound tests - An inner ear malformation called EVA (enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct) indicates that a genetic disorder called Pendred syndrome may be the cause. Because thyroid abnormalities are also associated with Pendred syndrome, an ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland may be done.
- Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans - These tests show the structure of the inner ear. For CT, the subject lies still for a short time while X-ray images are obtained. For MRI, the patient lies on a stretcher that is moved into a cylindrical machine with a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field and radio waves produce images of the inner ear. The radio waves cause loud thumping noises that can be muffled by the use of earplugs.

In celebration of Milepoint's two year anniversary as a Kiva lending team, we wanted to take a look back and highlight their vast achievements thus far. The Milepoint team was started on February 12, 2011 and has since grown to over 1,500 members. Brought together by their love of travel, Milepointers just surpassed $4.5 million in Kiva loans and are excited to continue their success and momentum into the future. We chatted with two of the team captains, Randy Petersen and Haung "Ho" Yu, as well as active team member Bob Kaplan, to get an update on where the team plans to go from here.
What are some of the highlights from the last 2 years, and how do you feel about the incredible accomplishments of the Milepoint team?
Randy: Almost too many to name but four certainly stand out: First, the "KivaDO" event we held in SFO last year. It was a first ever Kiva conference for a team in conjunction with the Kiva organization and the results and presentations by Kiva to our group were extraordinary. Secondly, the establishment of our Milepoint Kiva Mutual Fund. This general fund by our members has now made over 1,000 loans. Thirdly, we're very proud of our Kiva Fellow sponsorship with Devon last year. We covered flights, expenses and it was truly a team effort. We look forward to supporting more Kiva Fellows and lastly the achievement we did when we did a MoneyBomb last year and the whole team concentrated their lending efforts over a 48-hour period. During those 48 hours we lent just over $300K to Kiva.
Bob: The ongoing, almost continuous highlight is that being part of this team has been fun, and we almost always maintain a high level of enthusiasm. These traits have continued even as the team has grown, people have come and gone, goals have shifted, problems have cropped up, there have been differences of opinion, etc. Yet somehow we keep up our enthusiasm, enjoy our team's camaraderie and remember that fun and mutual support are essential building blocks for team building. Personally I'm grateful to be a part of this team, and amazed that I have done so while still never yet meeting even one of my fellow team members in person.
What are some of the team attributes (of leaders and members) that have made Milepoint so successful? How has the team evolved over the past 2 years?
Ho: The team is comprised of members who have traveled extensively and come to appreciate how fortunate we are to have those opportunities. Moreover, having experience and seen what we have in our travels, it is important for the team to help support the local people in many of the countries we have traveled to or wish to visit. Kiva offers that opportunity to these groups and individuals! In the first few months after forming, the team was relatively small, but very enthusiastic. From that starting point, the team has nurtured each others desire to help and desire for knowledge. Kiva has a devoted forum on milepoint.com with 184 threads with over 23,000 posts. We have tried to keep the forums lively with content, spirited debates, and ultimately, friendly banter that exemplify all strong community discussions. Throughout the team's history, we have also offered up many fun and innovative challenges and contests to support the team and to say thank you. As we evolve, the team will continue to be a lively, welcoming group that supports the members' desires for content on microfinance, to provide feedback to Kiva on issues that arise and play an active role in helping improve the interaction between Milepoint team members.
What is it about lending through Kiva that you enjoy?
Bob: Personally, I like to connect with people all over the world. Every time I make a loan, I take a moment to look at the borrowers' picture and connect with them heart to heart. It makes no difference that we will never meet. It's enough for me to know, in my heart, that we are connected that my few dollars are helping. And since I grow up as the son of a mortgage lender, Kiva lending allows me to nurture a seed that was planted decades ago watching my father and to bring it to new life in a new way that is very satisfying to my own history and purpose.
There are a number of fun challenges* being put on by the Milepointers this month surrounding the 2 year mark; what are you most excited about?
Ho: The group loan has been an amazing triumph – 117 members of the team have lent and credited to Milepoint [on a single loan.] Last year, we tried to set a record for most members from one team on one loan - that was an amazing accomplishment with 48 members – this group challenge kicked it up a notch! We still have much more to come this month, including a goal of passing $4.5M in total loans, a milestone we hope to pass before our birthday (Feb 12), the Kiva Captain's loan match on that day and many prizes donated by our generous team.
*For a complete list of challenges, please visit the Milepoint forum.
What are some goals of the team going forward?
Randy: We are gunning for the five million dollar mark. We're at $4.5M right now so we know we can get there. We're also interested in helping other teams so we do take time out to support teams like Friends of Bob Harris, etc. We love our team but also in the spirit of things, love helping others including other teams on Kiva.
Ho: As time progresses and our membership grows, we hope to spread the enthusiasm to new members who join and ultimately provide them the tools to be informed and lend with confidence. Hopefully we can get the team together for other lending events like this month's celebration as well as travel related events, like another Kiva Do. No one can predict what the future holds, but hopefully it will be a fun adventure!
Your team has seen a tremendous amount of growth and activity; how do you plan on keeping this momentum going and recruiting new members?
Ho: We have relied on word of mouth and postings on Milepoint to get people to join and this has been very successful as a tool to not only talk about travel, but also about Kiva and microfinance lending. Social media, especially our blogging members have also been very useful in recruiting new members en masse. Hopefully this will continue to bring in new members, who will come to Milepoint and participate in not only the Kiva forums, but also contribute to the ongoing travel discussions on Milepoint. Ultimately, its not just about getting new members to join, but welcoming them in and giving them the tools and information to lend!

ONLY A MONTH ago, there seemed to be ample reason for optimism. November's election results appeared to break the fiscal logjam in Washington, with policymakers buzzing about a big, balanced budget deal. Robust spending on Black Friday portended a healthy holiday season for retailers, indicating, perhaps, that worries about the nation's looming "fiscal cliff" would not sap consumer confidence. Now, with only a handful of days until more than $500 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts begin to kick in, Democrats and Republicans are again at loggerheads — and the country faces a harmful and gratuitous economic shock that would be inflicted by its own leaders.
There is plenty of blame to go around. A look at the numbers shows that President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) were tantalizingly close to a $2 trillion deal last week, disagreeing on only about $450 billion of the total package. Striking a bargain of that size would have been a good start toward a broader budget consolidation. But negotiations faltered along depressingly familiar lines. Mr. Boehner gave some on tax rates but still proposed to increase them only on household income of more than $1 million. Mr. Obama budged on entitlement spending but not enough. Trust didn't materialize; flush with victory, the president at one point even told the speaker that he would get "nothing" in return for his early offer of $800 billion in new revenue, according to an account in the Wall Street Journal.
With time running short, the most Congress seems capable of passing before Jan. 1 is a stopgap deal avoiding the disaster that would come from doing nothing. Any bill must be based on an extension of the Bush tax cuts for households with income of less than $250,000, but lawmakers should not forget to deal with the fiscal cliff's massive and inappropriate spending cuts, as well as annual headaches such as patching the alternative minimum tax.
Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) suggested Thursday that lawmakers might not be able to manage even that, and, predictably, politicians spent the day attempting to blame each other for the continuing impasse. Mr. Boehner insisted that Senate Democrats take up an unwise plan the House passed months ago, which would extend the Bush tax cuts even for the rich. Mr. Reid responded by calling the House a "dictatorship," suggesting that Mr. Boehner was trying only to protect his position as speaker.
With such pettiness and ill will from congressional leaders, it will be little wonder if there is no deal. But avoiding the cliff, even with a stopgap, is imperative. Though many of the worst impacts can be put off for a bit, any government project with a lead time, including those at the Pentagon, would immediately be at risk, and federal contracting and tax collection could become a shambles.
Economists have warned of eventual recession, and Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service of U.S. credit downgrades. The mere specter of this government-induced economic catastrophe would undoubtedly deal great damage to the stock market and consumer confidence, both of which have already begun to slide.
Mr. Obama and Congress have four days left to fashion a deal. A failure to do so would be a complete abdication of their responsibility to the nation. It's time for them to stop calling names and shifting blame and to start working with each other in earnest.

OAKLAND — About an hour after practice ended Wednesday, center Andrew Bogut and guard Jarrett Jack were still in the gym. Bogut worked on post moves, Jack on his shooting.
That's exactly what Richard Jefferson is talking about.
"You didn't see that last year," Jefferson said. "Changing the culture is more than just about getting new players. There is a lot more that goes into it. … I feel like with these vets, there are more guys that kind of understand what I'm saying."
Entering his 12th NBA season, Jefferson said it's refreshing to see the Warriors locker room infused with experience. Acquired from San Antonio in March, Jefferson said coming to Golden State was a "culture shock." He went from the reputed professionalism of the Spurs to a Warriors franchise in rebuild mode.
But Jefferson said he's encouraged by the attitude and work ethic now. He's quick to point out the infancy of the season, but he likes what he sees so far.
"Do we have the right attitude for training camp? Yes," said Jefferson, who will come off the bench Thursday night when the Warriors play host to Israeli pro team Maccabai Haifa. "Guys believe. Guys have bought in. Guys are putting in the work. But we haven't been tested yet."
Jefferson conceded he came into a tough situation last season — several players hurt, the locker room shellshocked from the Monta Ellis trade, the lockout-shortened season taking its toll. Jefferson praised Mark Jackson's ability to hold the team together through it all and said he notices the second-year Warriors coach being more strict.
Jefferson, Bogut, Jack and Carl Landry have been vocal with hopes of instilling the proper mindset. They set the example by how they carry themselves, as well as put bugs in the ear of the younger players.
Having these authority figures around has changed the tone. Their presence is especially important for the Warriors because of so many youngsters on the roster. Of the four rookies, at least two (forward Harrison Barnes and center Festus Ezeli) will be part of the regular rotation. One starting guard, Klay Thompson, is in his second year. The other, Stephen Curry has logged just over two seasons worth of games due to ankle injuries.
"It's a lot different having a lot of older guys in the locker room," second-year point guard Charles Jenkins said. "Bogut is a lot more serious than any player. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy. He jokes and all that. But once he gets on the court, all that stops. Same with (Jefferson)."
Jefferson has played with more future Hall of Famers than he can count on one hand. He has logged well over 6,000 minutes in 94 playoff games. He has played for the likes of Gregg Popovich, Larry Brown (with Team USA) and Byron Scott. He said he knows what a winning locker room looks like and how the players operate.
Practices are full of energy and passion. The weight room is active before and after practice. Film sessions and shootarounds are taken seriously. Pregame routines call for focus and preparation. Plane rides after losses, even sloppy wins, are quiet as players stew in disappointment.
He said he'll be looking for such behavior this season.
"All these are personal tests," Jefferson said. "Are you going to put in the work? Are you going to be accountable? Are you going to be on time every day? Are you going to put in the extra time? We've got the pieces here. Now we're getting the mindset down."
Thursday's game
Maccabi Haifa at Warriors, 7:30 p.m.

Demand is rising for Egyptian brews of alcohol-free beer both here and across the Arab world where Islam, the dominant religion, prohibits the consumption of booze.
Sales of a growing range of Muslim-friendly beer-style beverages have boomed since the first flows were canned eight years ago by Egypt's top brewer, Al-Ahram Beverages Co. (ABC), which still monopolizes domestic production.
Last year alone, sales soared 79 percent to 36.7 million liters (9.5 million gallons) from 20.5 million liters (5.3 million gallons) in 1998, according to economic analyst Karim Kamal of EFG Hermes investment bank.
And this year, ABC is expecting sales of its two brands -- Birell, brewed under license from Swiss firm Suisse Hurlimann, and fruit-flavored non-alcoholic beverage Fairouz -- to surpass sales of their numerous alcoholic beers which sold 39 million liters (10.1 million gallons) last year.
Steven Keefer, ABC director of investments, says the source of the success is "essentially religious," as the novel beverages do not infringe Islamic law.
"We are not in competition with soft drinks companies, because non-alcoholic beer is a more luxurious and expensive beverage," said Keefer whose company is registered on the Cairo and London stock markets.
And in terms of competition with regular beer, alcohol-free drinks have the advantage of avoiding Egypt's 100-percent alcohol tax and can thus be priced cheaper.
Building on its success, ABC recently secured the exclusive rights from Irish brewers Guinness to brew its non-alcoholic beer Kaliber and export it to 27 countries, most of them in the Arab world.
Egypt's long tradition of domestic beer production stretches as far back as the pharaohs and has been kept alive by the country's Coptic Christian minority.
But with the expansion of non-alcoholic products, the Egyptian drinks industry has been able to break into the markets of Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, where drinking alcohol is punished by whipping, and Kuwait.
Egypt supplied Saudi Arabia with four percent of its non-alcoholic beer imports in 1998, according to the Saudi central statistics bureau, while in Kuwait sales have been high since the government lifted an import ban in February, although figures are not yet available.
But products like Birell, Fairouz and Kaliber have not succeeded completely in avoiding the Muslim "beer" taboo, with Kuwait still requiring laboratory certificates from non-alcoholic beer importers after complaints that some brands did in fact contain a relatively high alcohol content -- CAIRO (AFP)

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. The foreskin is a flap of skin that covers the tip of the penis.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The procedure may be done for cultural or religious reasons. It is often done on babies in the first few days of life.
There may be some health benefits for circumcision. Many health professionals believe these benefits are small. Circumcision may be associated with a decreased risk of:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
The type of anesthesia may depend on where the circumcision is done. There are 2 common approaches:
The baby will need to be very still during the circumcision. The baby may be carefully restrained on an infant board or someone will hold the baby. The anesthesia will be applied.
Once the area is numb the procedure will begin. The foreskin will be pulled away from the penis. Some parts of the foreskin may still be attached to the penis. The doctor will sweep these attachments away. The extra foreskin will then be cut away. It can be removed with a scalpel or special clamp.
Stitches may be needed. They will be used to sew the remaining bit of foreskin into place. Petroleum jelly or an antibiotic ointment will be smeared on the penis. A bandage may be applied. A Plastibell device, if used, will be left in place instead of a bandage. The Plastibell will fall off on its own.
About 15–30 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure.
Swelling and scabbing is normal, but the circumcision site should heal in about 10 days. The Plastibell should fall off on its own within this time frame.
Home care will include:
It is important for you to monitor your baby's recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your baby's doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your baby's doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

The most startling visuals in Jojo Rabbit (which opened last Friday) takes the shape of writer-director Taika Waititi dressed up as Adolph Hitler, the imaginary best friend conjured by a German boy (Roman Griffin Davis) during the waning days of World War II. But while "Hitler" commands the foreground, VFX supervisor Jason Chen worked a more subtle brand of filmmaking magic by using digital tools to seamlessly build out Jojo's world. Chen says, "The shots were filmed on actual ruins in the Czech Republic left over from World War II, but then we would place blue screens on the edge of the sets and extend them out."

First, you need to isolate the skin with a selection so you can work with it without affecting the rest of the image. Then, you can even out the skin, unifying the tone so it's a universal color, without making the person look like they're wearing too much foundation. Next, decrease the mid-tone density so that small imperfections disappear. Finally, add a layer mixer node so that the skin color you've just worked on is protected from other grades you might make. Let's look at them in turn.

John Stuart Mill: Moral, Social, and Political Thought
John Stuart Mill: Moral, Social, and Political Thought
ISBN: 978-0-745-62583-6 August 2010 Polity 252 Pages
Download Product Flyer
Dale E. Miller argues for a "utopian" reading of Mill's utilitarianism. He analyses Mill's views on happiness and goes on to show the practical, social and political implications that can be drawn from his utilitarianism, especially in relation to the construction of morality, individual freedom, democratic reform, and economic organization. By highlighting the utopian thinking which lies at the heart of Mill's theories, Miller shows that rather than allowing for well-being for the few, Mill believed that a society must do everything in its power to see to it that each individual can enjoy a genuinely happy life if the happiness of its members is to be maximized. Miller provides a cogent and careful account of the main arguments offered by Mill, considers the critical responses to his work, and assesses its legacy for contemporary philosophy.
Lucidly and persuasively written, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars seeking to understand the continued importance of Mill's thinking.
Table of contents
Part I: Foundations of Mill's Moral, Social and Political Thought
1. A Singular Life
2. Mill's Understanding of Human Nature
Part II: Mill's Moral Philosophy
3. The 'Proof' Principle of Utility
4. The Higher Pleasures
5. Utilitarianism: The 'Happiness Morality'
6. Mill's Theory of Right and Wrong
Part III: Mill's Social and Political Thought
7. Mill on Liberty and Individuality
8. Millian Normative Political Economy
9. Millian Democracy
PART IV: Concluding Remarks
10. Mill's Utopian Utilitarianism
"Simply the best book on Mill available today ... the achievement for which the author deserves eternal praise is that Miller's Mill makes sense. It is pleasant to see how Mill, who is often accused of being a 'muddled thinker' presents such a consistent philosophy."
Ethical Perspectives
"An excellent book for all Mill scholars as well as the general reader."
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"An excellent study of Mill's moral, social, and political thought."
"Refreshing and intellectually satisfying."
Koninklijke Brill NV
"Well written, well researched and comprehensive. Persuasively argued, it achieves its objectives in an insightful way."
Political Studies Review
"A high quality work - scholarly, open-minded, engaging, and accessible. The book has admirable breadth, the discussions of political economy and democracy being especially welcome."
Roger Crisp, University of Oxford
"Dale Miller's book is a superb piece of work. It is comprehensive, compelling, informative and polished. The volume really does cover all of Mill's moral and political philosophy and its arguments are downright persuasive. The book will be the state of the art discussion of the topic and will also provide a clear and straightforward introduction for advanced undergraduate students."
Brad Hooker, University of Reading
"Succinct, lucid, and well informed, this is quite simply the best volume there is on the moral, social, and political side of Mill's thought. Although accessible to those studying Mill for the first time, professional philosophers will learn much from Miller's insightful, judicious, and philosophically acute commentary."
William Shaw, San Jose State University and author of Contemporary Ethics: Taking Account of Utilitarianism
- Ideal introduction to the work of one of Western Philosophy's most influential thinkers
- Cogent and careful account of the main arguments in Mill's ethical and social-political philosophy
- Considers the critical responses to his work and assesses its legacy for contemporary philosophy
- Argues for a "utopian" reading of Mill's utilitarianism
- Written in a lively and accessible style

I've been throwing out a lot of my food because I physically feel like I cannot eat that much, and if I do eat too much then I don't feel so good. However, I'm learning to keep all my meals small and frequent (just like I should have been doing all along!).
I plan to definitely buy this product again, I really love it and finally, I've successfully changed my eating lifestyle.

andyjeffries necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 150 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
We want a new logo for our small company of solicitors. Something modern/fresh not traditional - the current logo is definitely traditional.
Garden House Solicitors
The current logo is very swirly/traditional and we want a complete break from the traditional look. Maybe something using the letters (GHS), something abstract or maybe a view up a garden to a door.
The feel of the company is very much a family/small/local solicitors that want to help rather than stuffy old folks streaming legal jargon with barely a word of English.
The core business is personal injury, but they don't want to focus on it (as they also do wills, house puchase/sale, civil suits and employment law) so don't do a logo with an injured person. For the same reason don't focus on the "house" portion of the company name as it can give the impression of the company only doing real estate.
The current working strapline is "Join our family". We're thinking along the lines of small, family, helpful, etc.
Colours that are liked are #7e0100, #637b03, #7e3000 and #1b7707. That's not to say other colours aren't also winners, but those are a few we found from sampling from some photos. We aren't a fan of blue generally (but there may be a nice shade that works well).
- Scalable logo suitable for web site, letterhead, large background for documents
- Modern look and feel
- Simple colours (no large gradients)
- Not photo-realistic (must be scalable)
- No quills, feathers
- No weighing scales, gavels, judges wigs
- No focus on personal injuries, house sale, etc (multi-focus company)

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team lost its second straight game Saturday, falling to Rhodes College in Memphis, 75-71.
The Panthers fall to 14-9 overall and 9-5 in the SCAC, while the Lynx move to 9-13 overall and 6-8 in conference play.
Rhodes jumped out to an 8-0 lead to start the game and led by as much as 13, 22-9, at the 10:28 mark before the Panthers, helped by an 11-0 lead in the closing minutes of the half, pulled ahead and led 36-33 at halftime.
The Lynx came out and scored the first nine points of the second half to re-take the lead, 42-36, with 16:52 left in the game. BSC clawed its way back into the lead at the 15:07 mark, 45-44, and stayed ahead for the next nine minutes, going up by as much as nine, 58-49, with 10:54 left.
But Rhodes kept fighting, taking back the lead at the 5:54 mark. The Panthers were able to tie it up, 69-69, with 2:24 remaining, but that was the closest they would come, as the Lynx were able to stay one step ahead of them and eventually win by four.
Sophomore Alex Adams led with 18 points, while junior Ashton Spurgin added 14 and senior Katelyn Wilson scored 10. Junior Kristian Moody led with six rebounds, and sophomore Melanie Short led with four assists.
The Panthers shot 27-of-69 (39.1 percent) from the field, 7-of-30 (23.3 percent) from three-point range, and 10-of-12 (83.3 percent) from the free throw line. Rhodes shot better from the field (50 percent) and three-point range (40 percent) but struggled at the line, hitting 9-of-16 (56.3 percent).
BSC out-rebounded Rhodes, 35-31, and committed fewer turnovers with 12 (Rhodes had 14).
The Panthers return home for the final two games of the season next weekend, facing DePauw, Friday, at 6 p.m., and Centre, Sunday, at noon.

All About Moms
This past Friday, Sawyer's kindergarten class put on a fashion show for the moms, then invited us back to the classroom for a snack. Sawyer was SO proud to hand me a plate of cookies and a cup of lemonade. He also presented me with a few things: a paper bag that contained a breakfast bar and a tea bag, and on which he drew a picture of me..
a handmade card, and a booklet entitled "All About Moms" in which each child answered five questions. I'm going to share the questions and Sawyer's response, and then I'll put my answer.
Q: How can you tell someone is a mom?
Sawyer: She has long hair and she's a girl.
Me: She has spit up on her shoulder or a chocolate handprint on the back of her pants that she has no idea is there. Well, she has SOME idea it's there, because she had a toddler clinging to her leg for an hour or so and there's bound to be some residue. She probably has bags under her eyes from sleepless nights, either from insane o'clock feedings, countless trips leading a child back to bed, or simply from worry worry worry. She actually does have a third eye, right in the back of her head, which is how she always catches a small hand sneaking an extra cookie. She is also blessed with the unique ability to wear her heart on the outside, where it skips and plays and sometimes falls. And she will always light up when her child walks into the room.
Q: How did your mom learn to be a mom?
Sawyer: From my grandma that's alive.
Me: I was absolutely influenced by my own mother, that's true (and for the record, BOTH grandmas are alive). We are ALL shaped by our mothers, one way or the other. Mostly? It's on-the-job training. We learn what works - and what doesn't. It's an ongoing process, and just when we think we've got it figured out, we realize we don't have the slightest clue what we're doing. We understand that giving birth was actually the easy part.
Q: What does your mom do while you are at school?
Sawyer: She usually makes lunch and plays.
Me: These days, when Sage is also at school, I have lots of one-on-one time with X, who no longer takes a morning nap. We go to the park. We go to Target. We play in the sandbox in the backyard. We snack. We try to check email. We're not down with that (well, ONE of us isn't). We get up and play with the Little People tractor. We try to check Twitter. "We" hear someone whining, trying to get our attention. We read books. We drink water. We share our water. We realize three hours have gone by and now we're racing down the street to get big brother, leaving piles of unsorted laundry and untouched dirty breakfast dishes behind.
Q: Why did your mom want children?
Sawyer: I don't know, she never told me why.
Me: Why, indeed? It's a question I've asked myself, after the end of some particularly awful day full of barf, poop, snot, whine or other unpleasantness that makes me long for those days Before Children. But really, I always knew I wanted kids. I can't figure out how you can go through life without wanting to become a parent. What else is there to do that's more important? What is more rewarding, more life-altering, more amazing? To me, it's such an honor to have these little beings calling me "Mommy." Sometimes the love I feel for them is so overwhelming it's tough to breathe. Of course, sometimes it's the anger that knocks the wind out of me. But then one of them hugs me, or brings me a flower they carefully picked from the yard, or squeals with delight upon seeing me, or is wonderfully sweet to a sibling, and I think, heck ya, there IS nothing else.
Q: What makes your mom so special?
Sawyer: She does art in the garage with me.
Me: That one's easy. What makes ME so special are my kids. I am forever changed by them. They make me deliriously happy, and so furious I want to rip their cute little heads off. They bring out the absolute best and worst in me. They make me want to be better: kinder, more patient, more in-the-moment. They make me see my failure - on a daily, if not hourly basis - and they love me anyway. Every day is a new chance for me to be the mother I so want to be. Maybe they wouldn't have picked me if they had some other options, but they're stuck with me, and I will try to deserve them. Every day.
Happy Mother's Day. And thank you, thank you, thank you.
