Village Energy Security Programme was launched by Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES), New Delhi of Govt. of India in the year 2004-05. The programme is planned in such a manner that it should facilitate households of those remote villages / hamlets which still do not have excess to conventional energy sources and will not be electrified by conventional sources till 2012. It has immense social aspect in development of nation as it will provide total energy security (Electricity, Cooking, Motive Power etc) to the villagers to make them self-sufficient.
Under village energy security programme (VESP) the exercise of identification of those un-electrified villages which are not feasible to be connected through the grid are considered as 'remote' villages. A detailed survey of the remote villages is to be undertaken keeping in view the feasibility and viability of alternatives for biomass gasification / biofuel base power generation, improved chullha / biogas plants for cooking energy etc. In general villages between minimum 25 households and maximum 200 households can be considered as potential village under VESP. The main and the foremost objective of this programme is the concrete participation of villagers that to in-particular women's participation by the formation of Village Energy Committee (VEC). The Programme envisages some contribution towards total project cost from respective state governments / beneficiary.
Central Govt. Policy:
Village Energy Security Programme (VESP) is the programme launched by Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES), New Delhi keeping in view to make a particular census village or a hamlet of census village self sufficient from the point of view of Energy requirements using locally available renewable energy sources & full participation of local community.
The selection of village / hamlet is required to satisfy the following conditions:
Technology Option:
The programme involves either of the following technology to cater energy need:
Village Energy Committee:

Commission Statement on BP Target Neutral programme
Commission statement on BP Target Neutral programme at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
The Commission has completed its assurance of BP's Target Neutral Programme.
BP was appointed by London 2012 as the Olympic and Paralympic Games offset partner for official travel. In addition, BP established a voluntary programme which offered to offset travel related carbon emissions for spectators, London 2012 corporate partners and the wider 'Olympic family' such as athletes and country delegations.
The Target Neutral Programme:
"…is an initiative that provides information and tools primarily through a website (www.bptargetneutral.com) but also other channels such as Facebook, to support the reduction of carbon footprints. The information and tools are structured around three topic areas: 'Reduce, Replace and Neutralise'. Participants are encouraged to reduce their travel emissions, for example by replacing car journeys with public transport, by driving 'smarter', driving less and maintaining vehicles better. Participants are also encouraged to consider new fuel-efficient vehicle technologies such as high efficiency engines and improved tyres, or products that may support vehicle efficiency such as "BP Ultimate Fuels" and BP's "Castrol" lubricants. The 'Neutralise' stream encourages participants to offset the carbon emissions from unavoidable travel, and provides the facility to offset"

Gemcitabine Hydrochloride With or Without Vismodegib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized phase II trial is studying gemcitabine hydrochloride and vismodegib to see how well they work compared with gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving gemcitabine hydrochloride together with vismodegib is more effective than gemcitabine hydrochloride alone in treating patients with pancreatic cancer
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer |
Drug: vismodegib Drug: gemcitabine hydrochloride Other: hydrocortisone/placebo |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |

Finally found time to develop my first few shots. I still can't believe that I didn't screw up the first batch. Here is the first:

Finally found time to develop my first few shots. I still can't believe that I didn't screw up the first batch. Here is the first:
Chamonix 045N-2
Schneider 150 L 5.6
Delta 100
its been a few months since I dove in but I may as well post it! This was my first shot, from sometime this winter.
My first 8x10 shot. Delta 100, 300mm. "Scanned" by holding the negative up to a window and taking a digital photo of it.
I think this was my first. Toned with Van Dyck toning. Taken with 8X10 camera and Fuji 300 5.6 wide open.
I remember my son was losing his patience, sitting in front of the big camera, and wanting to get back to his video games. The negative printed nice and I did a 16x20 that looks great. I think the scanning softened the contact print a little. Or it may be the toning.
This one is from the first four sheets of film I used in my new (at the time) 5x4 camera which I built myself.
Here is my first shot from a speed graphic. It was of the beach in Oceanside CA from the pier.
My first-ever lf shot? Why not?
Crown Graphic 4x5, I forget which model, with Fuji Velvia 50 (loaded and processed by the lab that did my 35mm). I don't remember if I had the Ektar 135 or if that particular camera came with a Xenar 150. I do remember buying a couple of lenses that year, including a convertible Symmar 210-360 because I wanted to attempt bird photography with a 4x5. That didn't go so well. Not to mention the Crown Graphic didn't have enough bellows to use that Symmar at 360.
Nice first shot... You'd have to be happy with that.

Duke Dumont takes Essential Mix decks as one of Radio 1′s Future Stars
As part of Radio 1's ongoing campaign to highlight the best of rising talent at the beginning of 2013, this week's Essential Mix brought in UK producer Duke Dumont as Annie Mac's choice for a "Future Star" in dance music. Duke Dumont had an unreal year in 2012 in terms of production — putting out a string of records that basically every DJ in the scene played at some point in their sets. Tracks like "The Giver," "Need U (100%)," "Thunder Clap," and "No Money Blues" were all fantastic outputs and put Dumont solidly back on the map and among the elite of dance music today. His mix is true to form and as he says, is basically just a sampling of some of his favorite tracks to play in sets. We loved every minute of it. Stream below and jump back the break for a complete tracklist.

There are a couple of questions which will help you decide whether you need to hire an attorney. What is at stake? Is it my liberty, my work, my home or property? If anything significant is at stake, it is usually a good idea to at least meet with an attorney to discuss your options. The second question is, how complicated is this? Unfortunately, when it comes to the law, there are not very many things that are simple and easy to understand and little mistakes in procedure or wording can seriously compromise your rights. Many people hire attorneys for their advice and counsel all the time. They are thinking about a problem and are not sure how to proceed, so they make an appointment to discuss their options.
If you think you have a legal problem, it is usually better to contact an attorney sooner rather than later. Opportunities for a good resolution may disappear if you wait too long, and simple solutions are usually cheaper solutions.
The simple answer is no. There are many reasons why an attorney may need to decline accepting your case, including the following reasons: if the case does not meet the legal standard of a "meritorious" or worthy claim; if the attorney has a conflict of interest or relationship with a person or company on the other side of your problem; if the attorney is not sufficiently knowledgeable or qualified to handle your problem; or if you and the attorney can't agree on the scope and strategy of the case.
Be as organized as possible so that you are buying the attorneys services/time as efficiently as possible.Before phoning or emailing the attorney, plan what topics or questions you need answered and restrict your conversation or email to brief and specific topics related only to your legal issue. Request a Written Fee Agreement in advance from the attorney to prepare yourself about what to expect and how to handle issues related to fees. Ask the attorney whether mediation, arbitration, or some other legal or non-legal solution might be a lower-cost way to handle your issue. Seek out local community mediation services or legal aid information. If you have a fixed amount of funds available, determine a legal budget and contact attorneys in your practice area until you can make a positive connection with an attorney who will fit your budget or who will be willing to take payments.
From the first contact with the attorneys office, conduct yourself best in a manner that is professional, organized, and courteous. For your first meeting, you want to make a good first impression, so be punctual and appropriately dressed. After all, no matter how personal or emotional your legal issue is, you are embarking on a business relationship with your attorney. Organize your thoughts, concerns, and legal goals in advance; consider writing a brief summary of the legal issue and possible questions you may have. See New Haven Lawyer Finders Legal Tool Kit for ideas. Ask the attorney how you can best be involved in information or document gathering, evidence preservation, and goal setting.Ask the attorney how they typically handle communication with clients (phone or email) and how quickly you can expect responses to questions and issues as they come up.Ask the attorney how busy their workload is presently, when they will have time to begin work on your matter, and how long they think it may take to resolve your legal issue.
That is a difficult question to answer because each legal issue is as different as each client and each lawyer. The final decision should probably come down to the lawyer whom you believe to have the best experience you need to help you with your legal matter and with whom you think you could have an effective and efficient professional relationship. In New Haven Lawyer Finder's lawyer profiles, you can use the information the lawyer has provided for their listing to get a sense of their skills, experience, and personality. You can also go to the "What to Ask" section of legal areas within the Legal Tool Kit or "How to Hire a Connecticut Attorney" for questions or information about hiring an attorney.
In law, as in many fields, hourly rates tend to increase with years of experience. With years of experience come efficiencies that may mean a more experienced lawyer can handle a legal issue in fewer billable hours than a less experienced lawyer might need. This doesn't mean a less experienced lawyer (with what may be a lower hourly rate) wouldn't be able to offer good legal service. It does mean, however, that you should probably use different criteria (like background, experience, skills, and personality) to decide whether a lawyer might be a good fit for your legal needs. When you first meet or speak to a lawyer about your legal issue, feel free to ask them how many hours they feel will likely be required to handle your legal needs. Also, keep in mind that some legal services are not charged by an hourly rate. See "What to Expect" within the "Legal Tool Kit" for your legal area or ask the lawyer how they typically charge for your type of legal need.
Lawyers need to advertise their services just like any other business and New Haven Lawyer Finder is an advertising vehicle for lawyer members of the New Haven County Bar Association. If your lawyer isn't listed with us, they may have chosen to spend their marketing dollars elsewhere at this time
You can go to the Legal Tool Kit on New Haven Lawyer Finder and choose a legal area and topic that is appropriate to your issue. Legal Tool Kit topics offer basic information about each area and are all available in a printer-friendly version for a list of questions or documents that may apply to your issue. Links to other resources for information are also posted within the Legal Tool Kit.
Within each lawyer listing on New Haven Lawyer Finder, there are folder tabs you can click on for more information about the lawyer. Lawyers can list participation in community or charitable organizations under the "Qualifications" or "Get to Know Me" tabs.
Go to New Haven Lawyer Finder's Legal Glossary for a selection of legal definitions written for consumers.

Palm's Hot Apps $1 million competition begins today! 56
Developers, start your engines! Palm's Hot Apps program begins today, and there's $1 million on the table just waiting for you. Running from February 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010, Hot Apps will award cash prizes to the developers with the most webOS app downloads during that period. Here's how that one million dollars breaks down:
- #1 most downloaded free app: $100,000
- #1 highest revenue paid app: $100,000
- #2 - #21 most downloaded paid apps: $10,000 each
- #2 - #21 most downloaded free apps: $10,000 each
- #22 - #221 most downloaded paid apps: $1,000 each
- #22 - #221 most downloaded free apps: $1,000 each
So all you've got to do is be in the top 221 apps to be prize worthy. With cold hard cash on the line, here's hoping we see some really amazing apps in the next 120 days!
Clarification: There are two sets of prizes, free and paid. The top 221 in both categories will be eligible for the awards.
56 Comments
This is fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing some good apps out there. I wonder if big companies like EA games and Gameloft are included in this contest??? I am going to venture a guess and say the two biggest developers that spam useless junk (coughdijitcoughbrighthouselabscough) are NOT going to win...:P (waits for the hopeless who actually think these are good apps to chime in with their useless opinions...)
This is a great idea...its good to see Palm really pushing for great apps!
Any apps using the PDK are not eligible, so that eliminates any of the 3D games released by EA, Gameloft, etc.
I'd say that app spammers being out is a pretty good bet.. and I'm glad they structured it that way! Maybe if there was only one "get hot babe wallpapers" app and one "famous quotes" app that allowed you to pick categories they might stand a chance. But being that all their downloads are spread over so many separate apps they don't stand a chance.
The most revenue category is kinda interesting... almost reminds me of the lemonade stand game... they have to balance price with number of downloads. Of course, do they really need the prize money? I mean, won't the profit from having the most revenue out of all the app catalog entries be prize enough?
It would be a sign of the apocalypse if Brighthouse Labs won anything!
let the games begin,other platforms watch out it's about quality not quanity.
hehe free apps will only win if released worldwide and not only to u.s. - I hope.
I think you 400,000 short...
1,000,000 Dollars
#1 most downloaded free app: $100,000
#1 highest revenue paid app: $100,000
The next 20 apps in each category: $10,000 each
The next 200 apps in each category: $1,000 each
1 * 100k * 2 types = 200k
20 * 10k * 2 types = 400k
200 * 1k * 2 types = 400k
That adds up to $1,000k in my book. (Both categories for each level, Free and Paid).
Derek messed up his definition. He just says "#2 - #21 most downloaded apps: $10,000 each", where he really should be saying "#2 - #21 most downloaded apps in each category: $10,000 each". Although Gre got it right, just not the math part ;-)
Ah man... you're right. I've thought all along that "category" referred to Entertainment, Reference, etc. But I never understood why it added up to several million dollars :]
This should definitely produce some good apps, brighthouselabs should be banned lol.
palm doesn't need to ban them if their apps suck
Man you gotta admire Palm. Definitely the underdog but at least they are trying. Kudos to Palm
I don't understand why they didn't wait for the PDK to come out to do this.
Is Ares out in full release yet? If not, this may be a bit premature...
Do update downloads count? Maybe we should start uninstalling and re-downloading some apps like Gdial Pro to make sure they get a fair count eh?
Competition is good idea. It would've been even greater idea if we "ROW" webOS users had a chance to vote a hot app, too.
This exclusive U.S. - perhaps, plus "official" European - carriers' subscribers only show will end up with one winner, the other if ALL had had their say in this, I believe.
And developers probably would be happier to have wider market for their product(s), no doubt.
"The action could not be completed. Try again later."
Most downloaded free app is probably Pandora. Most paid is probably Tweed
I counted 59 days not 120!!!!
You're only counting to March - Hot Apps runs until May.
Anyone else disturbed by the "charity" apps that are showing up? I feel like Palm should make a point that charity apps are not allowed.
First, it's clear that the existing one is a total scam (shares a nameserver with a porn site).
Second, where do you draw the line? What if it was a religious charity or something else controversial?
Allowing charity apps like that are defeating Palm's purpose for the competition, which is to entice developers to create high quality apps.
Any charity apps should be disqualified, (looking at you This App Saves Lives). The point of the contest was to give a cash incentive to a developer for operating/development costs. If these apps are giving the cash away it defeats the purpose, if they aren't giving it away then it's a blatant scam.
This could be EXTREMELY interesting. If the rumor about PDK apps not being allowed to participate is true then BOOOO lol. However, if Adobe releases it's FLASH BETA PLUG-IN via App Catelog then I'm placing my bets on them ;)
I have no problem with PDK apps not being allowed to participate. After all, the companies that got in on the early release of the PDK are games manufacturers, not independent devs. Most indie devs are still trying to figure out the PDK, let alone have the time to develop something that can compete with companies that had a headstart. I'd say that it would look better for Palm if an 18 year old kid who wrote something in his spare time won, than if "GameCo Ltd." won.
What about free apps people download but don't like and erase will they also count
wow...isn't that great...more apps that no one can access unless they are in the US.
"well isn't that magical."
How about we start dropping leaflets on the Haitians about the new energy efficient air conditioners that just came out. yeah...just about as useful.
I don't know if it's Palm or Bell that's screwing us but seeing as everyone else in the world is in the same boat as Canada, I think Palm is screwing us yet again.
Great for you guys though.
That's freakin' hilarious. I mean, only because I'm in the US. If I was on Bell, it would be pretty sad.
I think if an iPhone style Facebook app was to be launched, it would definitely win!
Come on devs, make an iphone style Facebook app with push notifications!!!
America!!!! F@CK YEAH!!!!
This is a brilliant idea. I have holding on to some things I have done in free time that I run on my own phone, but this might actually make me schedule some time to get it polished up. Even though I have never been a fan of using 'app count' as a marketing tool (I am looking at you Apple), this will probably cause a balloon in available applications. I just hope it doesn't end up in a flood of fart boards and massage programs.
I think this is an awesome idea. I can't wait for the influx of new apps. Let the floodgates open.
that could definately win the competition fyi.
I don't know why it doesn't seem to work anymore, but when I first got my pre I was able to use facebook chat by going to the regular www.facebook.com website.
Facebook makes subtle changes to their site. Sometimes, not so subtle. I wouldn't be surprised if they put some flash in there and made it non-compliant with mobile phones working directly off the site. Though to the original poster, I tinkered with the idea of doing a real Facebook app, but ultimately decided not to. I was concerned with legal stuff involved in using their API and whether I would own the code fully. Also had some issues trying to get some of the Facebook API functions working, though it might have been my problem. I'm not as experienced with JSON as I am with C#.
Nonsense! If Brighthouse Labs could consolidate their apps into their respective categories I think Palm should give them at least $50,000.
One critical question:
where can we find the number of the downloads for those application?
there is a patch that will show you the count :)
You can check out Project Appetite: http://www.projectappetite.com/
..and for the most hated app vendors - they need to pay Palm $100,000 - watch out Dijit and brighthouselabs lol
Seriously, what about this charity app that I confess I downloaded too without understanding what this competition was about - the charity app 'This App Saves Lives' defeats the whole purpose. Wonder what happens to the count when apps are deleted . I might delete it unless I hear different viewpoints here.
I don't understand why you wouldn't want to save lives... Unless you're saying that you suspect that this developer is a fraud.
I actually planned to give away any prize I win (with an app I'll be releasing soon), and to communicate that loudly. I just didn't expect that giving money to charity would offend people. :P
come on agendus. Nows your chance for a webos release! We're still waiting!
come on agendus. Nows your chance for a webos release! We're still waiting!
come on agendus. Nows your chance for a webos release! We're still waiting!
If so much as ONE Brighthouse app wins, I'm going to burn down Palm HQ.
Okay, not really. I'd still love you, Palm. But just sayin'...
First day of Palm's Hot Apps program; Slacker Radio appears in the App Catalog.
Coincidence? I think not.
They're a very strong contender for the most downloaded free app. I've already got mine installed...hooray!
If EA were to make another app like need for speed, and put it out for free, they would deffinetly be a number 1 contender for the $100,000.. which would possibly be more than what they would make if they charged $10 per download.
Can some innovative developer out there create a prescription reminder app for webOS?????
There is a medication/supplement reminder app available via Classic emulator (PalmOS), but I should not have to pay for Classic emulator just to get the prescripton reminder app. On-Time RX is a great app, but unfortunately, the developer has no plans to make a native webOS version. No matter how much I begged and pleaded (smile).
So, if you're trying to win that $100k prize, I highly recommend a prescription reminder app. I do not see that type of app in the catalog at all. If there is one, can someone direct me to it?
Good luck to all the developers entering the contest.

Hi. For the first time I installed devfs (Kernel 2.4.1). It's working without any major problems, but I can't log as root on any console if I change /etc/securetty to use vc/1 (I also tried with 1) instead of tty1.

Lesson from a birds-eye view
September is filled with excitement…for me anyway. Just after Labor Day, I went to Ft. Collins to talk with our agency's pilots during some of their training exercises. Yet, I didn't just get to talk with them, I had the opportunity to take the ride of my life!
As we hovered and buzzed over the mountains near Horsetooth Reservoir I understood what it meant to get a birds-eye view. The pilot explained to me how and why we use helicopters to support the maintenance of Western's equipment that connects to the grid. He demonstrated what it's like to scope-out landing areas and what it takes to find the right approach. I saw the world from a new angle, with a 360-degree view from "his office." But I walked away with more than just the technical elements of helicopter maneuvering. The most valuable lesson I learned from my flight was:
Always keep your eye on the horizon—not only will it keep you from getting sick in the helicopter (thus shortening your trip), but it's a good motto to live by. If you keep your eye on the future, your steps will keep leading you in that direction. Plus…it's a great view!
Even though I am back down to walking the office halls and sitting at a computer, I still keep that 500-foot high vision in my head, trying to relate my work as a communicator to that birds-eye view of the territory Western's system covers.

William Katz: Urgent Agenda
CLASSIC CASE – AT 8:32 A.M. ET: We've been discussing, at Urgent Agenda, what steps can be taken to prevent the kind of multiple killings we've seen recently, first in Colorado, now in Wisconsin. Specifically, we've wondered when the "right of privacy" gives way to some common-sense rules that can prevent a tragedy. There's an ongoing threat in New York, right now, that makes clear what we're talking about. It's usually agreed that, to use the classic expression, you don't have the right to yell "fire," when there is no fire, in a crowded theater. Apparently, some haven't gotten the message. From the New York Post: COMMENT: The police are right. Twitter is nuts. Their apparent invocation of the right of privacy goes far beyond what is reasonable. There are clear threats involved here. What is remarkable is the silence on this issue of "news organizations" that regular print the national secrets of the United States on grounds of the "people's right to know." We'll keep you posted as this story develops. August 7, 2012 |

New life at Little Switzerland
Little Switzerland as it appeared just before closing last year.
The lingering questions of what will happen to the Little Switzerland building in El Verano were put to rest on Thursday, Dec. 20, when escrow closed on the historic roadhouse.
The new owner, Max Young, spends most of his time in San Francisco, but maintains a home in Sonoma, just a few blocks from the historic dance hall. His wife, Karen Zambonin, has deep roots in Sonoma Valley and her family, the Bruscheras, have been here for decades. Young currently owns three bars and restaurants in San Francisco, the Hi Fi, Bamboo Hut and Mr. Smiths, along with one of the most historic bars in Oakland, McNally's Irish Pub.
"It (McNally's) opened the day prohibition was lifted," Young laughed. "I'm no stranger to iconic bars."
Young is sensitive to the history of the Little Switzerland building and wants to preserve its character, both by including old photos of the dance hall and preserving its Sonoma essence. "Just walking into the place, you can feel the vibe of the years of things that have meant something to someone in that room." Young continued, "Almost everyone I know has a story about how someone met someone there years ago or how their grandparents danced there in the '30s. I want to restore the building to its former glory."
Little Switzerland was seized by the bank last fall and has sat vacant for more than a year. Daniel Cassabone announced the sale, but the selling price was not disclosed.
"I didn't really expect them to take my offer," Young joked.
He admitted he didn't know exactly what was going into his newest venue, but food and music are part of the plan. "I want to talk to the locals and see what kind of place they want to see in their neighborhood," said Young, who added, "I don't want any thing that will put pressure on the neighborhood; I'd like to make a place with a neighborhood bar sort of feel."
Sunday brunch and even weekday lunch service were presented as possibilities. But first he has to get the building back into fighting form.
"The floors are warped, to say the least. The plaster is falling down, it needs some work. It needs some love," he said. "That's what we'll be focused on for the first three or four months."
Young is not in a hurry to make things happen, saying, "I want to do this right, not fast." He is also looking for just the right person to partner with the run the day-to-day, along with suggestions from friends and neighbors about how the space would be best utilized.
"I'm trying to get a feel for what we need on that side of town," he said. "It's a local institution and you just don't want to mess with it too much. But we won't let it die on the vine, I promise."
Young is open to suggestions at email@example.com.

You may not know this, but a film's "star" rating on the IMDB database is an important factor for streaming video services like Netflix and Hulu, who use it to decide what films to license and for how long.
The process is simple and you don't even need to have an IMDB account to do it. Simply go to the film's IMDB page and click where it says "rate this film. Here's a screen shot to help you.

The Man with the Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar — Blue Guitar, for short.
I was with Peter the other night in Carrboro, NC, when he played, back-to-back, two of the 10 classic songs on that album — which has been in and out of print for a long time; I included the link to Amazon.com because they list used copies available. The lighting was just right, the sound was good and the crowd was small but appreciative.

Weber, a Pennsylvanian who spent 10 years collecting material for the feature-length

X Factor's Niki Evans Joining Blood Brothers TourDate: 25 May 2010X Factor's Niki Evans will star in the much coveted leading role of Mrs Johnstone in Willy Russell's musical Blood Brothers when it arrives at The Mayflower, Southampton from 27 September – 9 October 2010. Mum of two Niki Evans, from Birmingham, won the hearts of millions as one of the most popular female artists ever to appear in the X Factor in 2007 with her extraordinary renditions of such songs as Fields of Gold, Songbird, and All That Jazz.

What if banks demanded more of their customers?
Monday, July 31st, 2006In 1976, Professor Muhammad Yunus and a small group of colleagues began issuing small loans of about $27 to the poverty-stricken in his local village. Over time this group became involved in a series of ventures in other sectors Æ from fisheries to Internet service providers Æ establishing the Grameen Bank which reaches millions of the world's poor. The bank issues microloans to poor borrowers Æ particularly women. It does so on the premise that credit is a human right, and necessary to encouraging individual agency in breaking the poverty cycle. To date, Grameen Bank has lent more than $4.5 billion to small-scale entrepreneurs, and its repayment rate far exceeds that of commercial banks. Yunus's model is now being used to break the cycle of poverty in more than fifty countries.

Glenveagh Self Catering was ideally located, two minute walk from the town centre, the house itself is spacious and well equiped. It is a safe and secure facility. The only recommendation I would have is to have wifi and perhaps sky tv, as we were travelling with a teenager and younger child it would have been ideal at night time to have these, my teenager thought he had lost his arm with no internet access. We will be returning to stay at Glenveagh Self Catering and would recommend this accommodation.
We provide bed linen, bath and hand towels, tea towels (drying cloths), and a dish cloth. Face Cloths are not provided.
Where a cot has been requested, the client must provide the linen for it. Cots and high chairs can be provided on request at no additional charge.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- This is the second year in a row that the SU men's basketball team is entering the tournament with some controversy attached to them.
A CBS-sports report says the organization is looking into a wide range of possible violations. That report says the school has received a preliminary inquiry. Last March, Yahoo Sports reported that SU was being investigated for violating its own drug policies. In a news conference in San Jose Wednesday night, coach Boeheim's comments were limited.
"Same story that they had last year at this time. I guess that's the annual… I guess next year we'll get it again. (Reporter) Are you aware of the school receiving a notice of allegations? (Boeheim) I just made my comment"

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre is pushing the Department of Agriculture to help tobacco farmers by urging it to make an adjustment to the tobacco federal crop insurance program so that claim amounts may better reflect market prices. This is in response to recent requests by tobacco farmers from all across eastern North Carolina who have contacted the office urging assistance on this issue.
"This is a critical issue for our tobacco farmers, and I am urging the USDA to make this adjustment," McIntrye said. "The federal crop insurance program was put in place to allow farmers to insure against the down side risk of agriculture. However, the level of support currently provided by the program does not adequately provide farmers the ability to control against risk incurred by adverse weather, pests or pathogens and the coverage needs to be raised to reflect market prices for tobacco."
In a letter to th eUSDA Risk Management Agency, McIntyre noted that the current price election for tobacco insurance program is $1.60 per pound, which is a substantial decrease from the 2010 price election of $1.75 and an even steeper drop from the 2009 price election of $1.85. The price election is the rate paid per pound to tobacco producers who have a claim for crops that have been destroyed.
Farmers in North Carolina have contacted the congressman and raised concerns that the price election established by the tobacco program does not reflect market prices for leaf tobacco. A typical price for premium grade tobacco is $2.15 per pound and a tobacco contractor in North Carolina has calculated an average price estimate this year for flue cured tobacco of $1.94 per pound. In calculating this estimate, tobacco buyers consider the normal amount of tobacco produced in each stalk position harvested by the grower, the grade price range for quality variations in each stalk position and the average expected crop yield for a normal growing season.
McIntyre is North Carolina's most senior member of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee has been a strong advocate for tobacco producers throughout his time in Congress. Congressman McIntyre was the author of the Jenkins – McIntyre tobacco buyout bill that became law in 2004.

A two-man crew began a demolition project this morning on five abandoned buildings at U.S. 301 and Laurel Street.
A front-end loader operator and his partner started their work by dismantling the rear of Sally's mobile-home supply shop. They will move on to the other buildings, which include a former strip club and tire store.
The city now owns the 1.2 acres on which the buildings sit. It purchased them in August for $4.7 million. The county originally bought the land earlier this year under the agreement the city would reimburse the county.
Both governments were hoping to build a stadium there to attract the Red Sox. But after the team decided to stay in Fort Myers, the city was left with the land.
The city's immediate plans call for the sodding of the land, which is adjacent to Payne Park. It currently has no long-term plans for the property.
The veterinarian on site will remain in business.
