Hunters, campers and outdoor enthusiasts appreciate equipment and tools that help them enjoy the outdoors more fully. Whether its fishing, hunting, or hiking, the following equipment can make great gift ideas that your outdoor enthusiast will look forward to using on the next outing.
A cast iron roaster and griddle is ideal for preparing wild game and one-pan meals. For instance, the Cabela Oval Cast Iron Roaster & Griddle provides quick and even cooking and the lid doubles as a convenient griddle. Although it can be used indoors, it's best results are rendered for outdoor cooking.
No hunter or fisherman should be without a fillet knife. Like a very flexible boning knife, the fillet knife is used to fillet and prepare fish. They have a blade about 6 to 11 inches long that allows them to move easily along the backbone and under the skin of fish. The MAC Sole Fillet knife has an exceptionally thin and flexible blade designed for filleting sole or other delicate flat fish.
And while you're considering a fillet knife, why not consider a knife block set for the serious hunter or fisherman. Professional quality-made knives feature paring, serrated utility, carving, and a cook's knife - all contained in a knife block for easy and safe storage. Shop for high carbon stainless steel blades and poly handles with a no-slip grip for years of use.
A truly practical gift for the hunter, electric grinders come in a variety of sizes to meet various grinding needs. Choose one, like Cabela's Commercial Grade Electric Grinders, that offer stainless steel necks, bases, plates, screws and blades, and also are certified for home or commercial use.
Nothing is more delicious than chicken prepared on a roaster, otherwise known as "beer butt chicken roasters." These roasters come in either double or single size in stainless steel. Although these kinds of roasters were developed to roast the poultry using a beer can, other liquids such as juice or soda drinks can be used. The liquid provides steaming inside the chicken, which produces juicy, tender chicken that falls off the bone. These types of roasters require an outdoor grill with a high lid design to accommodate the chicken roasters.
Functional and convenient for the hunting camp, a slow cooker is ideal for the hunter who can prepare meat or stew ingredients with seasonings, and then heat out to hunt and return later to a warm, filling meal that's ready to enjoy. Eastman makes a 3.5-quart slow cooker with a RealTree Hardwood Camo design.
Jerky is a food staple for many hunters and can be made from beef, venison, elk, turkey, and more. To prepare jerky, the chosen meat is thinly sliced, or pressed thinly, and drying commences at low temperatures, to avoid cooking or overdrying the meat. Multi-tiered jerky trays allow hunters to process a large batch of jerky. Look for trays with an easy-to-clean tray that catches drippings.
For the outdoor enthusiasts who need their morning java, a drip coffee maker designed to fit on a two- or three-burner gas stove, like the Coleman Drip Camp Coffee Maker, can be easily used on a camp or RV gas stove. The Coleman coffee maker also offers pause, serve, and easy pour features.
Once the hunter heads out, he or she can keep their coffee hot with vacuum bottles. The Cabela Camo Bullet Vacuum Bottle are made of stainless steel and are double-walled to keep beverages hot or cold and are extra tough for rugged conditions. The insulated lid doubles as a cup. The bottles come in various sizes.
Any outdoorsman knows that animal-proofing a campsite is important for both humans and animals. A chuck box is a convenient accessory to keep staples and cooking tools contained in a locked container. Cabela's Chuck Box comes with utility hooks, shelf space, paper towel holder, carrying handles, and even a silverware tray. The formica top doubles as a work surface.

Ole Miss won its second ever NCAA Tournament game and set a school record for wins in a season with 16, as seven different Rebels scored in a 9-0 win over Jackson State Friday night.
No. 22-ranked Ole Miss (16-5-2) advances to play No. 3-ranked Florida State (19-1-3) in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Thursday night in Tallahassee.
"It's a building block for us," head coach Matt Mott said. "We're trying to take steps forward and get better every year, and this has been just an unbelievable year for us, and we want to keep it going.
"We're setting a lot of records, but I'm really proud of the way the team plays. The leadership of our senior class has been unbelievable, and they have really propelled our program forward, so I'm very proud of them as a senior class. They don't want it to end, and we don't the season to end for them."
Senior Rafaelle Souza led the scoring barrage for the Rebels with a hat trick, as she became the school's all-time leading scorer with 44 goals over her three-year career at Ole Miss.
Fellow seniors Mandy McCalla and Erin Emerson, as well as sophomores Bethany Bunker, Olivia Harrison, Jessica Hiskey and Sydney Eddy also found the back of the net in the win.
"It's awesome," said Souza of the record. "There's no way to describe how good it feels to be at the top of a good program like Ole Miss."
"It was a complete game for us," Mott said. "Certainly, we were good going forward. We got good goals and spread it around. I was happy with the intensity and the energy level. We were very good in the back. Our possession was fantastic and the key to our success moving the ball."
The Rebels are 2-3-2 against nationally-ranked teams, including a 2-2-1 record away from Oxford and 2-1-0 in true road games, with wins over No. 20 Georgia and No. 25 LSU.
With the win, it marks the program's second appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, having lost 4-3 at Florida in double overtime during the 2003 season.
The Seminoles, one of four No. 1 seeds in the Field of 64, advanced to the second round with a 5-0 win over South Alabama Friday. They are 28-1-0 all-time at home in the NCAA Tournament. Florida State also carries a 32-game (31-0-1) home unbeaten streak -- the longest active streak in the nation -- into Thursday's match.
"When I was at Auburn, I went down there three times, and when I was at Texas, we went once, so I'm very familiar with Tallahassee in the NCAA Tournament," Mott said. "They're a good team and possess the ball really well. They're the best-coached team in the country. Coach Krikorian is as good as there is, and they have a bunch of really good players.
"I'm happy with where our team is. We'll go down there, be excited to play and play as hard as we can possibly can and try to get a result."
Friday night marked the first ever NCAA Tournament home match in program history, and it was another home game for the team's six-player senior classes.
The 56:05 mark in the second half was a special moment, as three of the seniors -- Souza, Emerson and McCalla -- subbed out to a great applause in what could be their last respective games at the Ole Miss Soccer Complex.
"I have always told Matt (Mott) that I want to play in the NCAAs, so it was exciting to get here and play out there at least one time," Emerson said.

Looks like I'll be buying my first kite next week! I am still not sure what size kite I should buy. I'm 6'2", 207lbs.
I'm taking lessons with Kitewindsurf so I'll probably get one of their Cabrihna Element beginnger kite packages (which comes in a 14 & 17).
Since I'll be riding in Alameda most of the time, what size kite would be best to start with?
I will be heading down to BAJA next month on vacation. My understanding is that May winds in San Felipe are generally in the 5 - 10 mph range. Is there any chance that my ideal kite for Alameda / bay area would also work in those light winds?
Or is it even possible to ride & stay upwind in winds < 10 mph? I really want to spend as much time kiting as possible when I'm in San Felipe. I've read about low wind kites like the Contra & Best's BFK that they say can fly in winds as low as 4mph. I know the Contra's hi aspect, so the BFK would probably be my choice. With Best's new price reductions, buying 2 kites is real possibility.
My initial thoughts are to go with the Element 14 & the BFK21. I think that might give me the best useable range.
My only concern is that if I get a low wind kite, how useable is it here in the bay?
Thanks for your help, drinks will be on me...

Citronella spray (ie, sprayshield) is NOT pepper spray, and it doesn't hurt in the same way, but it is an effective deterrent for those annoying dogs who are just being "friendly." Its great benefit is that it won't turn an annoying, mostly curious dog into an aggressive dog, because it doesn't hurt. Sure, it won't stop a fight that's underway. No one is claiming that it would. But it's one more tool in the toolbox to prevent serious fights.
My major strategy is simply to turn and walk in another direction the instant I see an unleashed dog far off in the distance. If I can't tell if the dog is leashed or not, I turn and walk away anyway. This strategy works well where I walk--in hunting areas, state parks, county parks, bike trails, etc. In a city, you might end up doing a lot of turns. Since I started doing this a year ago, we haven't had to deal with any more dogs coming up to us. Now when I ski, bike, scooter, or run with Vanya, I'm scanning for dogs in the distance, and also scanning for side-paths that we can take if need be. We practice turns a lot, whether or not unleashed dogs are off in the distance, so Vanya doesn't associate a turn with dogs.

Homo erectus
Homo erectus is the species name assigned to human fossils that evolutionists claim are transitional forms between australopithecines (apes) and both Neanderthals and modern humans. To date, more than 280 fossil individuals have been found that are identified with this group.[1] The species name means "erect or upright man" and was the name first put forth by Ernst Mayr to unify the classification of Asian fossils.
Creationists generally agree that all supposed ape-men fossils are, in fact, either ape or fully human. Species names within the taxonomic genus homo are viewed as fabricated classes invented to support evolutionary theory, and should be regarded as mere instruments of propaganda. The majority of Homo erectus fossils represent the populations of humans that lived following the global flood and the Tower of Babel, and should be considered true Homo sapiens.[2]
Although a formal definition of Homo erectus has not been established, the following characteristics are generally accepted.[3]
- Skull low, broad, and elongated
- Cranial capacity 750-1250 cc
- Median sagittal ridge
- Supraorbital ridges
- Postorbital constriction
- Receding frontal contour
- Occipital bun or torus
- Nuchal area extended for muscle attachment
- Cranial wall usually thick overall
- Brain case narrower than the zygomatic arch
- Heavy facial architecture
- Alveolar (maxilla) prognathism
- Large jaw, wide ramus
- No chin (mentum)
- Teeth generally large
- Postcranial heavy and thick
There are several problems with the assignment of Homo erectus as an evolutionary transitional form to Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. These include the absence of morphological distinction when compared to the full range of characteristics in modern humans, and overlapping timeframes of H. erectus with anatomically modern humans.
Morphological similarities
One of the primary defining characteristics of Homo erectus has been a skull with a thick wall, but until recently little data was present to support whether there was truly a difference between modern skulls and H. erectus. In 1994 a substantial comparison was conducted to determine if cranial thickness was a true criteria for identify H. erectus fossils.[4] The skulls of four modern Homo sapiens populations were studied; south Chinese, Romano-British, aboriginal Australians, and the famous Australian Kow Swamp remains - aborigines that were dated from 10,000 to 30,000 years ago. These modern skulls were contrasted against samples of Asian Homo erectus and so-called Chinese archaic Homo sapiens by measuring seven anatomical points on the skulls. Although the cranial-vault thickness was significantly different between modern Europeans and Chinese when compared to Homo erectus, the archaic Homo sapiens did not differ from Homo erectus at any of the seven anatomical points. More surprising were the contrasts between H. erectus and the modern and ancient native Australians. The Kow Swamp remains differed at only one of the seven anatomical points of the skull, and presently living Australian aborigines differed from Homo erectus in only four of the seven anatomical points on the skull.[5] Brown summarizes the implications of the findings:
|Now that comparable data is available it appears clear that if H. sapiens includes all the people alive in the world today, their ancestors in the Late Pleistocene and "archaic" H. sapiens like Dali and Xujiayao then vault thickness can not be used to distinguish H. erectus from H. sapiens.[4]
When the cranial capacity of Homo erectus is compared with Homo sapiens the morphological distinctions blur even further. Homo erectus has a cranial capacity from 780 cc to about 1225 cc, whereas modern humans have a capacity from 700 cc all the way up to 2200 cc. Clearly H. erectus falls with the natural range of modern humans in not only vault thickness, but cranial capacity as well.[7] The close comparison was extended to newborns by a discovery in 2008 of a Homo erectus pelvis, which showed that their infants could have had a head much larger than previously thought. According to Sileshi Semaw, a paleoanthropologist at the Stone Age Institute and Indiana University-Bloomington, H. erectus infants could have had a head size of 318 mm in circumference, which is right at the lower end of the spectrum of modern day humans whose cranial circumferences at birth typically range from 320-370 millimeters.[6] Neanderthals have also been shown to fall within the range of modern humans, having a skull capacity ranging from 1200 cc to 1650 cc. In fact, the skull morphology of the Homo erectus is virtually identical to Neanderthal - differing only by size.[7]
Marvin Lubenow comments:
|My own conclusion is that Homo erectus and Neandertal are actually the same: Homo erectus is the lower end, with regard to size, of a continuum that includes Homo erectus, early Homo sapiens, and Neandertal. The range of cranial capacities for fossil humans is in line with the range of cranial capacities for modern humans.[8]
This tremendous similarity between the various ancient human fossils causes considerable difficulty for the evolutionist who attempts to place the discoveries in various categories. The African early Homo sapiens have been referred to as "African Neanderthals", and Asian Homo erectus fossils have been called "Asian Neanderthals". In fact some scholars treat Neanderthals as a population of late Homo erectus, describing their skulls as an "enlarged and developed version of the Homo erectus skull".[7] Jerome Cybulski (National Museum of Man, Ottawa) speaks to the difficulties in characterizing H. erectus on morphological grounds:
|Indeed, one may well wonder whether agreement will ever be reached as to which fossils do belong to or represent the taxon, and on what morphological-cum-phyologenetic grounds fossil hominids are or are not to be regarded as Homo erectus.[7]
Skulls with Homo erectus-like features are found around the globe in location such as Europe, Asia, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa. Furthermore, researchers have shown that Homo erectus and Homo sapiens traits occur concurrently in the stratigraphic layer at many locations. Thick-vaulted and gracile (thin-vaulted) skulls are often found to co-occur in the same strata showing that they lived at the same time and place.[5]
In the 1980s paleontologists viewed Homo erectus as living between 400,000 and 1.5 million years ago (mya), but since that time at least 140 fossils have been found that are younger than this age-range and 32 fossils that date to be older. Garniss H. Curtis at the University of California, Berkeley dated the oldest fossils at Java (where Java Man was found) at 1.81 Mya, and the Java Solo Ngandong beds as being only 27,000 years old. [10] There are at least 78 Homo erectus fossils that have now been dated more recently than 30,000, the youngest yet discovered only 6000 years old. [11]
The extensive timeframe of Homo erectus fossils overlaps other hominids so extensively that it should void any attempt to claim an evolutionary sequence. For example, Homo erectus is almost universally held to have evolved from Homo habilis despite the fact that their fossils appear at roughly the same time (the oldest H. erectus fossil is dated at 1.95 mya and the oldest H. habilis fossil dated at just over 2.0 mya). Furthermore, they continued to coexists throughout the entire 500,000 year span when Homo habilis is said to have lived.[11] Such inconsistencies between the theory of evolution and the fossil evidence are often concealed. Marvin Lubenow warns in his book, Bones of Contention, about the way that evolutionists present the relationship between Homo habilis and Homo erectus..
|Terms like Homo erectus and Homo habilis are convenient terms to use in reference to groups of fossil material. But it is obvious that when evolutionists give dates for Homo erectus that do not fit the fossil material, or when they say that Homo habilis evolved into Homo erectus, contrary to what the fossil material shows, they are using those terms in a manipulative manner without regard for the fossil material in those categories. It is not unusual in evolutionary charts to show Homo habilis somewhat below Homo erectus, implying that Homo habilis is earlier in time.[12]
Furthermore, H. erectus is shown to have lived alongside what are known as "early Homo sapiens" during their entire 700,000 year existence, and alongside Neanderthals throughout the 800,000 years of their history. And lastly, Homo erectus individuals have lived side by side with anatomically modern humans for 2 million years (according to evolutionary chronology).[13]
For Homo erectus to provide support as a transitional form between the australopithecines and modern humans, the dates assigned to erectus fossils should occur between these other groups with minimal overlap. The extensive timeframe during which H. erectus is found to exist effectively eliminates the possibility that they evolved into Homo sapiens. These discoveries illustrate significant problems with the evolutionary model. Not only do the dates show that H. erectus lived contemporaneously with anatomically modern humans, but remained virtually unchanged for almost two million years.
Nonevolutionary explanations
A number of nonevolutionary explanations have been put forth to account for the variations seen in some of the ancient humans. These include genetic drift in the small populations following the Tower of Babel language division, adaptations to diet and/or climate, and changes in the rate of skeletal maturation. Some may even be mere consequences of harsh living conditions in the immediate post-Flood period, which differed greatly from those of today.[5]
Beasley proposed that the longer life spans which persisted following the global flood are likely responsible. This longevity resulted in a prolonged duration of skeletal maturation of the early post-Flood humans, and facilitated the growth of thick cranial-vaults. With the much reduced life spans of humans generations after the flood, thick cranial-vaults became much less common.[14]
Java Man
- Main Article: Java Man
Java Man was the common name for the first fossil evidence to be discovered of what is now called Homo erectus. It was found in 1891 by Eugene Dubois who was a former student of Ernst Haeckel. Dubois named the find Pithecanthropus erectus (erect ape-man).[15] Java Man is arguably the best-known human fossil, and was the evidence that first convinced many people that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors.[16] Since its discovery, there has been much controversy over both the identification and dating of the strata where the fossils were found, and whether the fossils belonged to the same species.
Peking Man
- Main Article: Peking man
Peking Man is the common name for one of the original Homo erectus fossils to be discovered. It was unearthed between 1923–27 near Beijing China from which it gets its name (Beijing was previously written 'Peking'). It was originally announced to be a new hominid species based on the discovery of a single tooth and named Sinanthropus pekinensis. Later discoveries of several skull caps and jaw bones revealed that Peking man was very human-like and it was reclassified as Homo erectus pekinensis.[17]
Excavations under the supervision of Chinese archaeologists Yang Zhongjian, Pei Wenzhong, and Jia Lanpo uncovered 200 human fossils (including 6 nearly complete skullcaps) from more than 40 individual specimens. Excavation came to an end in 1937 with the Japanese invasion, but resumed after the war, and parts of another skull were found in 1966. The Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1987. New excavations were started at the site in June 2009.[18]
Homo ergaster
Some have argued that certain Homo erectus fossils found in East Africa are a distinct species called Homo ergaster, the name being derived from the Ancient Greek ἐργαστήρ "workman". Many that except this species hold that they are the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, rather than erectus. It is asserted that H. sapiens then migrated from Africa replacing Homo erectus (or archaic Homo sapiens) populations found in other parts of the world.[19] This model of human evolution is known as the Out-of-Africa theory, which is distinct from the competing view known as the Multiregional theory.[20] However, there remains considerable debate as to whether Homo ergaster should be considered a separate species from Homo erectus, and many in fact treat them one and the same.[21]
|In short, H. ergaster does not show significant promise of lasting as a separate taxon due to several factors. It has not been shown to be significantly different from erectus to require the designation of a new hominid species, and it has not been shown to be closer to modern humans morphologically as has been claimed by some. At this time, ergaster basically means early H. erectus from Africa.[22]
In 2002, a skull was discovered in Ethiopia with distinctive Homo erectus features that was dated at 1 mya (by evolutionary chronology), supporting the earlier view that erectus lived in Africa when Homo sapiens are believed to have first evolved.[23] Carl Wieland from Creation Ministries International notes that this discovery simply highlights the subjectivity of human fossil interpretation and the tight morphological overlap between fossils that are often identified as separate species.[24]
Turkana Boy
"The foremost American experts on human brain evolution Dean Falk of the State University of New York at Albany and Ralph Holloway of Columbia University usually disagree, but even they agree that Broca's area is present in a skull from East Turkana known as 1470. Philip Tobias...renowned brain expert from South Africa concurs." Anthro Quest: The Leakey's Foundation News. No.43 (Spring 91) p.13

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) protects investors, state and local governments and other municipal entities, and the public interest by promoting a fair and efficient municipal securities market. The MSRB fulfills this mission by regulating the securities firms, banks and municipal advisors that engage in municipal securities and advisory activities. To further protect market participants, the MSRB provides market transparency through its EMMA website, conducts extensive education and outreach to market stakeholders, and provides market leadership on key issues. The MSRB is a Congressionally-chartered, self-regulatory organization governed by a 21-member board of directors that has a majority of public members, in addition to representatives of regulated entities. The MSRB is subject to oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
MSRB rules are intended, first and foremost, to protect investors, issuers and the public interest, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, and to promote just and equitable principles of trade. MSRB rules address fair dealing obligations of municipal finance professionals, suitability of their recommendations, fair pricing of transactions and disclosures of material information to investors. These rules require municipal securities dealers and municipal advisors to observe the highest professional standards in their activities and relationships with their customers. The MSRB also establishes rules intended to promote a free, efficient and open market in municipal securities.
The MSRB has authority to make rules regulating the municipal securities activities of securities firms and banks that underwrite, trade and sell municipal securities, as well as the municipal advisory activities of municipal advisors. The MSRB does not have authority over issuers, investors or other market participants.
A key way the MSRB protects investors and municipal entities in the municipal market is by making market information as transparent and widely available as possible. The MSRB collects municipal market data, disclosures and statistics and makes them available to investors and the public for free, primarily through the EMMA website. The MSRB also makes this information available on a subscription basis in real-time, for a fee. By providing free access to municipal bond offering documents, continuing disclosures, trade prices, interest rates and other information, investors and others can better understand the terms, characteristics and risks of a particular security. At the same time, the mechanisms of a transparent market enable issuers of municipal securities to provide information to existing and potential investors and to gain a comprehensive view of the marketplace, allowing them to compare their securities with other bonds. The SEC designated the EMMA website as the official repository for municipal securities disclosures in 2009.
Providing objective educational content about the municipal securities market is fundamental to the MSRB's mission to protect investors, state and local government issuers, and other municipal entities. The MSRB's resources help market participants and others understand the roles and responsibilities of financial professionals, how municipal bonds are bought and sold, and how to access information that can assist in decision-making. The MSRB Education Center is a free online library of multimedia resources about the municipal securities market. The MSRB also hosts outreach events to engage with market stakeholders.
Learn more about the MSRB and its initiatives
The MSRB's activities are subject to SEC oversight. In addition, Congress has delegated the responsibilities for examining securities firms, banks and municipal advisors for compliance with MSRB rules, and for enforcing such rules, to various other federal regulators – the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for broker-dealers, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve System and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for banks.

" Yet you're not interested to do that right?" I asked.
Amy drew a $100 costs out her bag. "I understood we were brief on rental fee this month, so I believed it would certainly be safe as well as I really did not assume it would certainly be infiltration anyhow"
Currently I was reclaimed "hold on, so there was infiltration or otherwise?" I quized, my mind competing back to when she was providing me an impact work simply that early morning and also appeared exceptionally sexy.

He claimed he has extremely specific customers and also he has to recognize the ladies well so he could match them to customers requirements."

Young in QPR talks
Aston Villa defender Luke Young is in talks over a possible move to Queens Park Rangers, the midlands club have confirmed.
Aston Villa defender Luke Young is in talks over a possible move to Queens Park Rangers, the midlands club have confirmed.
The versatile 31-year-old has started in his preferred right-back position in both Villa's Barclays Premier League games so far this season, against Fulham and Blackburn.
But he has been allowed to talk to Neil Warnock's side as they seek to rebuild under new owner Tony Fernandes.
The Hoops are also awaiting Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton's decision after he underwent a medical ahead of a proposed move, and have also been linked with Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Young has been with Villa since the summer of 2008, making 78 appearances and scoring two goals.
He was utilised on either flank of Martin O'Neill's defence in his first season at the club but was largely limited to filling in on the left during the following campaign as Carlos Cuellar was preferred at right-back.
After turning down a move to Liverpool in July 2010, he re-established himself on the right until knee and groin injuries saw him sidelined for around three months, eventually returning to play a key role in the closing stages of last season.

In my last post, we saw how SKS' write-offs levels went up from 0.29% in FY2008 to 0.60% in FY2009, and then up again to 0.86% in FY2010, and that PAR numbers followed a similar trend. Today, we're going to look into this in more detail, and then ask why this might be an issue for SKS.
Tracking the increase
Before we go any further, let's cross-check the numbers we got from MixMarket. Their numbers are generally very good, and allowing for reporting period disparities, differences in interpretation of similar terms, or differences in how something is bucketed, there is broad agreement in most cases with the numbers one gets from MFIs.
This is no different for SKS, which notes the following for it's write-off figures in its Annual Report for 2009-2010:
(Source: Schedule 19, SKS Annual Report 2009-2010, p.g. 82)
Ok, SKS agrees that write-offs levels increased between FY2009 and FY2010. What's their story for FY2008 to FY2009?
Turn to page 203 of the Red Herring, and you'll learn that the increase in bad debt write offs was a whooping 2,205.8%!
Yes, that's right, bad debt write-offs were up 22 times in FY2009, compared to FY 2008. Umm… what!?
And let me take this opportunity to say again why I am really happy about getting my hands on the Red Herring document – SKS has gone out of the way to provide an abundance of information, and it's all very informative. There are two primary reasons that account for this, albeit partly:
- Under their provisioning policy, they used to write off 50% of the loans overdue between 25 to 50 weeks (or 6 to 12 months, roughly) in FY2008. In FY2009, they wrote off 100%, i.e. the entire amount. Makes sense that this increased write-off, since this change doubled the number of loans they had to bump off the books for that category of loans, all other things remaining the same.
- The portfolio grew during this period, to the tune of 81.5%. Again, makes sense that this increased write-offs – if you give out more loans, proportionately more loans will also have to be written-off, all other things remaining the same.
Here's what's interesting – once you normalize for these changes, (essentially deflating the 2,205.8% number by 100% and then by 81.5% again to account for the explanations) the write-offs still go up by approximately 600% … ! Gonna have to say it again – umm… what!?
Something is pushing up SKS's bad loan count, and pushing it beyond what seems to be the average for Indian MFIs. As we saw in the previous post, the average write-off for the market was 0.52% in 2009; SKS' figure was 0.73% for the corresponding period.
SKS needs to identify the drivers behind bad loans. I could hazard a couple of guesses:
- Quality of staff – any any given point, three-quarters of SKS' staff has been around for less than year. This is partly because of phenomenal growth leading to continuous hirings, and partly because of high staff turnover.
- Characteristics of new markets – borrower demographics, existing competitors etc.
- Credit policy – particularly those related to due diligence on loan disbursal and procedures for loan recovery
- Resource focus on growth, as opposed to consolidation
Without looking at more detailed numbers or talking to SKS staff though, we'd be hard pressed to know which of these, if any, are key drivers of deteriorating portfolio quality.
Additional Mitigating Factors
Irrespective of the underlying drivers, there are two effects to keep in mind that make deteriorating portfolio quality a particularly pernicious issue for MFIs enjoying rapid growth:
- Lag Effect: Loan vintages (i.e. loans given out during the same period – say a month) do not display full delinquency levels until a few months after disbursement. Given that most SKS loans have a 50-week term, a short 3 month catch-up period would mean that ¾ of the portfolio are displaying full delinquency levels, while a 6 month one would imply that only ½ of them were doing so – assuming 0% portfolio growth. This also means that if, for some reason, the overall portfolio quality deteriorates, it will not manifest itself fully for a good couple of months.
- Dilution Effect: Of course, SKS' portfolio is not growing at 0%. It grew 99% between FY2009 and FY2010, and according to the 2009-2010 Annual Report, has a CAGR of 150% over the last 4 years. Consider what this means for the lag effect. The earlier vintages that are now displaying full delinquency levels are essentially watered down, and the low or non-existent delinquency levels of newer vintages have a higher per-rupee weight. How much watering down happens is dependent on the vintage disbursement amounts, but in general, the dilution effect depresses the delinquency levels further.
Why is this an issue? Well, SKS cannot continue to grow at a CAGR of 150% for too many more years. The Indian MFI market is getting increasingly saturated, and the industry as a whole will need to slow down. As growth slows, the delinquency and write-off levels will catch up. If SKS does not anticipate this catch-up and prepare accordingly, investor confidence will take a blow, along with portfolio quality.
Vintage-level Analysis Has Some Answers
One can get a sense of what will happen in the future by literally seeing how loans in SKS' portfolio age. Loans given out during the same period, usually a month, are said to be in the same vintage. I have not found any public information on SKS vintages, let alone their delinquency profiles. It's generally not very helpful to guesstimate on this because such profiles can vary greatly between MFIs with similar top-level PAR and write-off numbers, and can differ substantially for different products even within the same MFI, so I'm not going to dive into a modeling exercise.
It's not too difficult to figure out the lag and dilution effect though, if one has access to granular portfolio data. SKS would have to take each vintage, figure out its delinquency profile, derive historic trends by superposition, and account for differences based on product characteristics, branch office location or any other salient factors. It can then combine projected performance of existing vintages with internal growth targets, and see where the PAR and write-off numbers end up at.
Sure, the past is not necessarily the best predictor of the future, but given the purported out-of-the-box nature of SKS products in particular and microfinance products in general, and the short loan lifecycles that reveal profile changes relatively quickly, this should be a pretty useful exercise.

I certainly was under the impression it was. That depends on what "native" means. SGI shipped 64-bit OSes where most of the binaries were 32-bit. The only reason Opteron OSes are 64-bit is because of the extra registers in 64-bit mode, meaning that most programs are faster as 64-bit programs. Our compiler is a 32-bit app because it uess a lot of pointers, and so the speed hit of fewer registers is more than made up with less cache busting. Both gcc and our compiler really support 64-bit compilation from a 32-bit compiler executable, so it's not actually "cross compiling". -- greg

Keeping fit with a disability is easier than you may think. Fitness instructor Mike Lee explains why exercise is important to help prevent obesity and cardiovascular disease. He also gives tips on how to find the right gym or what to do from home if you don't want to pay for a gym. Also watch other disabled people describe why they want to keep active.
Disability sports boost
Media last reviewed: 22/06/2017
Next review due: 22/06/2020
If you're disabled, it's more important to be healthy
because you're liable to cardiovascular problems,
heart conditions, diabetes, obesity.
If you've got that lifestyle, the chances are you will put on weight.
(man) I broke my back in 1972, so it was a long time ago.
In those days, there weren't a lot of facilities for disabled people.
Someone who's disabled, the challenges they will probably meet
will be restrictions of accessibility at the gym,
type of machines. What can and can't they use?
Years ago, it was difficult to get into fitness studios.
They were either upstairs or downstairs or the doors weren't wide enough.
But now, there are loads of places you can go.
There are IFI websites that look at disabled-accessible gyms.
They will tell you where gyms are in your area.
You can ring the gym and ask what equipment they have for your disability
and whether they can cater for you.
Make sure the gym instructor is qualified to deal with your condition.
I do a lot of pushing around round the streets
to get your cardiovascular going.
But I do use the fitness studio two or three times a week,
30 minutes or 40 minutes per session
just to build up the muscles in the top half of my body.
People with disability have a high risk of high blood pressure.
But most gyms should check their blood pressure before they start
and check their weight.
Exercise helps you release certain chemicals
and obviously it makes you feel better.
If you keep fit, you live longer,
but if you don't, then your body just relaxes.
If you're in a wheelchair, you tend to put a lot of weight on.
I know when I'm putting on. I find that I'm pushing a bit harder.
If you use your car a lot, you should leave the car in the car park or garage
and push your chair a lot more which is good exercise for your upper body.
Swimming is very good.
If you're mobility restricted, do frequent walking,
every day if you can.
Just find a sport that they like.
Try and keep fit and keep with the sport.
It doesn't matter if it's wheelchair basket, rugby, football, table tennis.
If you're not sure about the gym there are things you can buy at home.
There are plenty of books, videos, resistance bands.
There's a lot you can buy for home use. If you're not sure about the gym,
do stuff at home and get your confidence back.
Exercise is good for your mind. At the gym, you'll meet people.
It's good for getting out and meeting new friends
and getting more of a social life, so it's important for people.

Exhibition of Contemporary Art and Design for Jewish Life Opens
Studio Armadillo: Hadas Kruk (Israeli, b. 1970) and Anat Stein (Israeli, b. 1972), Hevruta-Mituta, 2007, plastic chess board, thirty-two knitted skullcaps. Hadas Kruk and Anat Stein, Studio Armadillo.
Rituals are embedded in everyday life, whether established by religion, culture, or family, and are continuously performed and reinvented by each generation. Rituals are personal, and are often created and re-interpreted to provide meaning and sustenance for a fulfilling life. A new exhibition at the
Contemporary Jewish Museum
(CJM) examines a modern hybrid of the prescribed and the personal as 58 contemporary artists tailor Judaic rituals to their own values, identities, and lifestyles.
Reinventing Ritual: Contemporary Art and Design for Jewish Life, on view April 22 October 3, 2010, is the first international exhibition to explore how artists and designers are transforming traditional practices into opportunities for contemplation and critique. It reflects a growing movement of artists and individuals engaged in ritual innovation and the explosion of new Jewish ritual, art, and objects since the 1990s a time that has seen the practice of Judaism revolutionized by feminism, environmentalism, and more.
Featured in the exhibition are nearly 60 innovative works in diverse media including installation art, video, drawing, metalwork, jewelry, ceramics, comics, sculpture, textiles, industrial design and architecture created between 1999 and 2009 by leading and emerging artists from America, Israel, and beyond. Notable artists include Oreet Ashery, Jonathan Adler, Helène Aylon, Deborah Grant, Sigalit Landau, Virgil Marti, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Karim Rashid, Galya Rosenfeld, Lella Vignelli, and Allan Wexler.
Reinventing Ritual: Contemporary Art and Design for Jewish Life was organized by The Jewish Museum in New York City. Nearly half of the works on view are from its collection. The show also compliments and builds on the CJMs longstanding engagement with living artists to examine Jewish material culture and heritage, particularly through its acclaimed Invitational series that asks artists of diverse backgrounds to create new interpretations of Judaica. Past shows have spotlighted individual objects such as seder plates, besamim or spice boxes, kiddush cups, and more. The Museum has really been at the forefront of thinking about ritual objects and their contemporary significance, says Connie Wolf, Executive Director of the CJM. Reinventing Ritual builds on what weve created looking across the spectrum at traditional objects and rites and bringing in both new and familiar artists to think in fresh ways about the role of ritual in our everyday lives.
The Works
The works on view interpret Judaism as a living, changing experience, rather than one fixed in text or custom. To that end, they are arranged in four thematic nodes: Thinking, Covering, Absorbing, and Building. These themes focus on ritual as physical action related to specific acts such as eating, drinking, counting, smelling, lighting candles, and praying, essentially grounding them in things shared by all people -- food, clothes, the environment.
Many of them can be viewed through the prism of social phenomena as well feminism for example being one of the greatest sources of new ritual practices. With Fringed Garment (2005), American fiber artist Rachel Kanter pushes the boundaries of traditional sex roles by combining a kitchen apron and a prayer shawl (until recently worn only by Jewish men) in a more practical form designed for a woman. Kanter writes, If I wanted to wear a tallit, it should be made for me and speak of my experiences as a spiritual Jew, a woman and a mother.
A sculptural installation by past CJM Invitational artist Helène Aylon, All Rise (2007), addresses the patriarchal tradition that allows three males to pass judgment in the Jewish Court but forbids women to judge. Aylons installation is an egalitarian vision of the future: a courtroom that administers feminist halakha (Jewish law). I think of my work as a rescue of the Earth and Gd and Womenall stuck in patriarchal designations, she writes.
Studio Armadillo, the Israeli artist team of Hadas Kruk and Anat Stein, created Hevruta-Mituta in 2007. Comprised of thirty-two skullcaps on a white, plastic chessboard, this work derives from a conceptual and visual analogy between hevruta (learning in small groups) and chess competitions. The skullcaps, knit by girls during lessons in religious school, are colorful emblems of womens increasing access to traditionally male-dominated Orthodox Jewish education and ritual.
Additionally, a potent source of recent ritual exploration centers on gender transition. A video installation entitled Opshernish (2000/2009) by Canadian artist Tobaron Waxman turns the ritual practice of opsherin, a first haircut that initiates three-year-old boys into religious observance and study, into a personal act of agencycausing the viewer to ask what creates gender and how.
Works that redesign ritual objects with a modern eco ethos are also prevalent in the exhibition. In many cases this takes the form of repurposing cast off or industrial materials. Local San Francisco engineer and inventor Joe Grand contributed Galvanized Steel Candelabra (2003), a menorah made from steel pipe fittings. Israeli artists Jonathan Hopp and Sarah Auslander use ceramic decals to turn dishes purchased at the Jaffa flea market into traditional Passover plates.
Past CJM Invitational artist Allan Wexlers Gardening Sukkah (2000) -- complete with retractable roof, gardening tools, Jewish ritual objects, and dining utensils -- embodies a perpetual cycle of renewal, moving between uses without ever lying fallow. For seven days Gardening Sukkah shelters the family as they gather for Sukkot meals. For the remaining 358 days it functions as an outbuilding for gardening activities and storage, he writes.
Although contemporary values and isms surface in many of the works, many also emphasize craft and enhance existing ritual through attention to materials. Israeli artist Bruria Avidans Wedding Cup (2004) elegantly blends ritual function and form. The couple unites the two halves of a silver cup, made watertight with a silicone edge and rubber binders. It concretizes the main idea of Jewish marriage, binding two who come together to form a single whole, she writes.
Also on View
The exhibition also includes resource area that provides information about traditional and contemporary Jewish ritual and includes listening stations of music associated with ritual. The music stations will include playlists based on various Jewish and vernacular rituals with songs chosen by local artists, musicians, and figureheads. Music provides an additional point of access to thinking about ritual and its reinvention.
Several works in the exhibition also have an accompanying video-label that provides further insight into the process, ritual, and concept behind these works. These video-labels are portions of a commissioned video featuring commentary by rabbis, artists and the exhibitions curator. The excerpts provide insight into the shows themes and an explanation of the highly symbolic rituals of Judaism and more.
The exhibition is also designed to invite visitors to consider their own rituals and create dialogue through a series of questions asked through the exhibition like: What are the rituals that you perform as you wake up in the morning? Are rituals different from a habit or routine? What do you remember about rituals you participated in as a child? Have you continued or modified those rituals for your family? Do you have a sacred space in your home? How did you make it sacred?
Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in the exhibition by writing their response to these questions, on a ritual board in the gallery and online.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
A despicable act
THUMBS DOWN: It is hard to imagine a more despicable and cowardly act than that perpetrated at the Schell's Brewery this week. Someone shot and killed one of the penned deer that the brewery keeps on its grounds.
Brewery CEO Ted Marti is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever did this.
We don't know what kind of sick thrill the person who did this was seeking. Shooting a tame deer kept in a fenced-in area is no test of skill. It is simply cruel.
We hope whoever did this is caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Anyone with information can call the New Ulm Police Department at 507-233-6750, or the Department of Natural Resources' Turn In Poachers (TIP) hotline, 1-800-652-9093.
Hail, Athena!
THUMBS UP: We congratulate the New Ulm Chamber of Commerce on the excellence of its choice for the 2013 Athena Award. Darla Gebhard has been a mainstay at the Brown County Historical Society Museum for a long time as a historian and researcher. She knows just about everything about New Ulm and Brown County history, or at least she knows where to look it up.
She has been an invaluable resource to anyone seeking information about New Ulm's past, from people working on their family tree, to students working on history projects, to reporters and editors who envy the museum's extensive files and need some information from the past.
Her dedication and commitment to preserving history are admirable, and we salute her as the new Athena Award winner.
She's BAAaaack!
THUMBS DOWN: News outlets on the lookout for juicy quotes had noted Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Mn 6th) has been unusually quiet the past few months since the November elections. But she's back, tongue a-blazing.
Bachmann, speaking at the Conservative PAC Convention last Saturday, made a couple of statements that earned her four Pinnochios (the lowest rating for truthfulness) from the Washington Post's Fact Checker. In one statement, she claimed it costs $1.4 billion to fund the lavish lifestyle of the Obama White House. In fact, that includes all the money spent for Secret Service and security, and the many policy employees who work in the White House. In fact, the Bush White House spent $1.6 billion a year.
Another less than factual statement was that 70 cents out of every dollar spent for Food Stamps went for the salaries and pensions of the government bureaucrats running the program. In fact, only about five percent, not 70 percent, is spent on administrative costs.
And on Thursday, after the House voted yet again to appeal Obamacare, Bachmann stood on the floor of the House and claimed Obamacare "literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens." This exaggeration is based on the fact that Obamacare requires companies to provide health insurance for their employees, but technically, not for the employees families.
Such irresponsible hyperbole only distracts from the real criticisms of the Obama health care reforms. Bachmann should give up making such poorly researched and easily refuted statements.


text: My understanding is that NIS can be very network intensive and there are limits to the sizes of the maps unless you go to NIS+. Anytime a permission needs to be check, like when a user is accessing a file, it is an NIS call to see what UID the user has. This seems a little ridiculous to me, but that is what I recall from discussions on this list in the past (you could search the archives--this has been discussed at length before). Also, my understanding is that with plain NIS the largest map you can have is 1024 characters. If you have a lot of graduate students in a single group, you can quickly reach this limit. NIS+ overcomes this but I don't know if it has a Linux port or not. Finally, yes, you would do well to wrap your useradd command with a script that added the user and then pushed out all relevant files (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, etc.).

Weekly PubMed searches are done using the terms "genome-wide" OR "genome AND identification" OR "genome AND association", with limits on the current year and human status.
a. If a study does not report a combined p-value, the p-value and effect size from the largest sample size will be reported as long as the initial and replication samples each show an association of p < 1.0 x 10-5.
b. If a study does not include a replication stage, significant SNPs from the discovery stage will be reported.
c. SNP-trait associations that are described as previously known at the time of publication and are statistically significant in the GWAS sample, but are not attempted for replication, are reported.
Information on the following study-level fields is extracted: author (last name of first author); study date (online publication date, if available); PubMed URL; publication title; disease/trait information; initial sample size (summing across multiple Stage 1 populations, if applicable); replication sample size (summing across multiple populations, if applicable); platform (manufacturer); number of SNPs passing quality control metrics (using "up to [maximum number of SNPs]" if multiple platforms are used without imputation, the total number of imputed SNPs, or "pooled" to denote studies of pooled DNA, as applicable); whether the study was one of copy number variants (initially excluded; additional studies to be added).
For each identified SNP, we extract: chromosomal region (from UCSC Genome Browser); gene (as reported); rs number and risk allele (as reported); risk allele frequency in controls (if not available among all controls, among the control group with the largest sample size); p-value and any relevant text (e.g., subgroups where applicable); OR (or % variance explained, SD increment, or unit difference for quantitative traits), 95% CI and any relevant text (e.g., subgroups). If the p-value, OR, and 95% CI fields are not available for the combined population, we extract estimates from the population group with the largest sample size.
In extracting information, we follow these additional guidelines: Missing or not applicable fields are denoted as follows: ?, allele not reported; NS, not significant (no associations at p<1.0 x 10-5 identified); NR, not reported; Where multiple genetic models are available, effect sizes (OR's or beta-coefficients) are prioritized as follows: 1) genotypic model, per-allele estimate; 2) genotypic model, heterozygote estimate, 3) allelic model, allelic estimate. Focusing on risk alleles, we invert ORs < 1 and their associated confidence intervals, and report the opposite allele if available. If 95% CIs are not published, we estimate these using standard errors where available. If more than one SNP within a gene met the above criteria, we report one SNP unless there was evidence for an independent association. Associations attributed to a combination of one or more genetic variants are denoted as such in the rs number column (e.g., "rs1015362-G + rs4911414-T," "3-SNP haplotype 1"). If available, rs numbers for SNPs comprising the haplotype are indexed so that they are searchable using the SNP search features. Genes attributed to a SNP are extracted verbatim from the published report; "intergenic" and "NR" (not reported) were used to denote a location which was not attributed to a particular gene (if it appeared that gene information was sought) or an absence of reporting on location information, respectively. The term "pending" is used to identify an eligible GWAS for which SNP information has not yet been extracted; studies of CNVs, which are known to be incompletely ascertained, are also noted as pending.

POOLER, Ga. — Barry University's men's golfer Scott Smyer shot a career-low 66 in the opening round of the NCAA Division II South/Southeast Super Regional at Savannah Quarters Country Club Monday.
The No. 1-ranked Buccaneers shot 293 on the par-72, 7,016-yard course, and are tied with host Armstrong Atlantic for fourth place. South Carolina-Aiken leads the 20-team, 108-player field at 288. Nova Southeastern is second, two strokes back, and Florida Tech third at 291.
Smyers, the first-round clubhouse leader, recorded pars on the first eight holes before picking up his first birdie on the 391-yard ninth. He had birdies on three of the first four holes on the back nine, and made eagle on the 531-yard 17th.
Barry's Adam Svensson also had a strong first round, finishing at two-under 70. He had four birdies and two bogeys, and is tied for sixth place with four other golfers.
Armstrong's Shad Tuten is a stroke behind Smyers after shooting 67. Florida Southern's Tim Crouch, Florida Tech's Joe Ellis and Nova Southeastern's Santiago Gomez each shot 69, and are tied for third.
The rest of the Buccaneer contingent struggled on what proved to be a tough back nine, as the trio of Jared Dalga, Mario Beltran and Berry Jole combined for a 16-over. Dalga shot 78, Beltran 79 and Jole 80. Beltran and Jole each had two birdies, and Dalga one.
The tournament continues with Tuesday's second round, and concludes on Wednesday. The top seven teams, regardless of region, and the top four individuals on teams not advancing will earn spots into the NCAA Championships field in Allendale, Michigan May 19-23. The region tournament has produced 18 of the last 20 NCAA Division II men's golf champions from either the South or the Southeast Region. Barry won the 2013 and 2007 national titles, while Sunshine State Conference brethren Nova Southeastern was the 2012 champ.
The Bucs quintet are scheduled to tee off at noon Tuesday.
