Solar Leaders Applaud New PV Cost Study that Shows Government Policies Reduce Installed Costs, Expand U.S. Solar Market
Today researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab released "Tracking the Sun II: The Installed Cost of Photovoltaics in the U.S. from 1998–2008." The new report found that the average cost of going solar in the U.S. declined by more than 30 percent from 1998 to 2008, a trend that can be largely attributed to the success of market-building policies at the state and local level. Findings also show that, after a three-year plateau, costs decreased by 3.6 percent from 2007 to 2008, marking a pivotal year for the American solar industry.

A python script that generates a contact sheet or index print containing a configurable number of images. Multiple sheets are generated, the filename can also be included.
Hey if you find this plugin useful or useless send me an email, it has been downloaded 1000's of times but very seldom do I get any feedback.
To install copy to ~/.gimp?-?/plug-ins/ directory or /usr/lib/gimp2-0/plug-ins/ and make executable with chmod +x contactsheet.py
This updated version works with version 2.4 of The Gimp, tiff support is included.
Thanks to Elmar at http://www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl/Gimp.html for the version update and language translations.
Once again thanks the Elmar who has been responsible for all of the updates.
1. Set topmargin at least 5 mm otherwise contactsheet page will not be visible.
2. German characters (ie umlaut) in the filename will not be recognized and gives an error. Plugin stops.
3. Printing with GIMP gives a rightshift of the contactpage for unknown reasons. Use Gutenprint plugin instead.
Updated to latest current version - thanks to Elmar again.
1. Added option to disable the extension to print. Useful if you wish only a name to the photo. I used it to print a lot of passport photographs (classroom of my child) on a single sheet.
2. Added French language pack v1.0. Thanks to Hervé for the French translation.
3. Updated Dutch language pack v1.4.
4. Updated localization file.
1. Added .bmp support.
2. Updated Dutch language pack v1.3.
3. Updated localization file.
1. Added simple printing capabilities. You have to experiment with your printer for the best results. Very important: the plugin uses the default Gimp builtin printer driver (will be changed in future releases). Unfortunatly I cannot set any of the parameters (pagesize, margin, etc) you have to set the parameters of your printer first :(. Set margins in your printerdriver to zero and choose your correct papersize.
2. Added .ps/.eps support. The special .ps/.eps version of contactsheet has been removed. Remember to add ghostview/ghostscript to GIMP if you want to select an .eps/.ps type image otherwise contactsheet refused to work. For this reason selecting "all registered types" in imagetypes will exclude .ep/.eps types of images.
3. FIXED: "Under certain conditions it was possible that not all possible rows were placed on contactsheet". Problem has been solved.
4. Code has been partly rewritten.
1. FIXED: "It is possible that not all possible rows are placed on the contactsheet. These rows are placed on the next contactsheet." A miscalculation has been corrected. It was only visible when a large number of images per row was choosen without the filename option.
2. Margin round the image can now be changed in tenth of a mm.
3. Maximum number of images per row has been increased to 256.
4. Maximum number of rows has been increased to 256.
5. Maximum number of DPI has been increased to 1000.
1. A little 'error' (a testlog command has not been set to off) has been corrected, nothing else has been changed. Look for "../tmp/gimp.log" on your system, delete this file.
1. FIXED: "Set topmargin at least 5 mm otherwise contactsheet page will not be visible." Topmargin can now be as low as possible. It is the user responsebility to take care of the printable margin. For instance my printer (HP CP1700d) the left-right margin should be set at least 5mm otherwise that part of the image wil not be printed.
2. FIXED: "Textfile (if option is checked) is not emptied wih each batch run so it will grow to infinity. You have to manually empty/delete this file." Textfile is now emptied before information is written.
1. Margin round the image can now be changed from zero on.
2. Added "sorted images" as option.
3. Updated Dutch language pack to v1.2.
4. Updated localization file.
5. FIXED: "Files with an extension .j .jp .jpe .p .pc .t .ti .x .xc .pn , will be seen as images. If it is not a imagefile the plugin stops. Remove/move/rename all files with those extensions." It is not longer necessary to remove these files.
1. Margin round the image can now be changed
2. Font size can now be choosen. Be aware that fontsize automatically will be scaled down to fit the image width
3. added .XCF support
4. added a choice to save a text filelist from the printed images with the directory name where the image is located. Useful if you have a lot of images in several directory's. Name is the same as the contactpage name but with the .TXT extension
5. code has partly been rewritten
1. Dutch language pack added
1. now possible to make contactsheet of a whole directory including subdirs
2. two radiobuttons replaced by option buttons
3. added several paperformats
4. images are sorted in the way the systems sort the images
5. added extension in the filename
6. added support for pcx format
7. added making contactsheets of all registered formats in one batch
8. number of rows is now limited to paperheight (automatic scaled down if necessary)
The plugin works on the following system:
Windows XP pro SP3
GIMP v2.6.6
Python version 2.6.2c1 (r262c1:71369, Apr 7 2009, 18:44:00)
Note for installation on Windows.
First install Python -> restart
Install pygtk, pygobject, pycairo -> restart
(Re)install GIMP
Unzip the language pack (newer versions at Elmar's site)
Install language pack (contactsheet.mo) in the GIMP locale directory ([drive]:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\locale\[your language dir]\contactsheet.mo
Install your plugin in: [drive]:\Documents and Settings\[user]\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\contactsheet.py. The plugin is now only available for you.
Install python
Copy the script contactsheet.py to /home//.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/
make the script executable with chmod +x /home//.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/contactsheet.py

This is a known bug use v2.16 (or v3.31=indexprint plugin) instead you are using an old version.
I don't maintain this plugin except for bugs use indexprint v3.31 instead. By the way in a couple of days I publish the bleeding edge of indexprint v4.
Unfortunatly v2.15 has a bug for some Linux users, not for windows users. This is corrected in v2.16. This bug was found in the contactsheet smallscreen version and also this plugin has been updated to v2.11. Use smallscreen when the height of your screen is less then about 900 px
Both can only be downloaded from my website (www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> gimp).
For more possibilities use v3.xx instead (http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503).
Edit (16/12):
RGilham has now updated the registry with the latest vesrion of Contactsheet.
Unfortunatly version 2.14 has a bug for Linux users, not for windows users. This is corrected in v2.15. You can only download it from my website (www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> gimp).
For more possibilities use v3.xx instead (http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503).
Just released a new version of indexprint with several new options and improvements. If you still use V2.xx I recommend to switch to v3.xx. Contactsheet v2.xx is only in bugfix mode now. No new features will be added anymore.
# ADDED: exif date and time (pyexiv2 should be installed!!).
# ADDED: title on each page.
# ADDED: background color can be changed.
# CHANGE: pagenumber from top to bottom; you can give a start pagenumber.
# CHANGE: new Dutch translations.
# Fixed: "not reading foreign characters" now also for Linux users.
# Fixed: "not remembering last state for Linux users" now also for Linux users.
# Fixed: custom papersize is now working.
Remember that for using the exif option pyexiv2 must be installed !! For users with problems installing pyexiv2 there is a version without exif.
Latest release indexprint/contactsheet is now V3.30 with RAW and more exif support.
You will find it here: http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503
I have updated the old contactsheet plugin to 2.14 with the following:
1. fixed reading foreign characters, they are now read without any problem.
2. fixed reading non image files with image extensions, they are now skipped. Gimp gives a warning.
3. Pagecounter now equal to filecounter (request G.Sprik)
Download v2.14 from my website: www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> gimp.
If you still use the old contactsheet plugin I recommend to update to v3.xx (http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503). The latter is also updated to V3.10
Enjoy and feel free to give feedback.
I have posted a new version of contact sheet and I have also renamed it to index print (http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503).
Differences between V2.xx and V3.xx:
1. using Glade for the GUI instead of PF-widgets
2. No problem anymore with small screens.
3. You can now choose one or more image types to include, not possible in v2.xx
4. You can now choose a size or ratio for the images, not possible in v2.xx
5. uses tooltips, not possible in v2.xx
6. rotate images, not possible in v2.xx
7. include or exclude filename extension, not possible in v2.xx
Known problems/limitations (V2 and V3):
Look at http://registry.gimp.org/node/24503
Why not updating this registry entry? Because I am not the owner of this entry and therefore cannot update this entry on regular base. This plugin (v2.12 and later) will be maintained by me you will find the updates on my website (www.sullockenzlin.demon.nl --> gimp). Updating this registry entry point depends on RGilham.
The latest version of contactsheet is v2.12. Works with winXP SP3 and GIMP v2.6.8. It is released in janaury 2010 and has several new options including a French and Dutch translation. Thanks to Herve for the French translation. You can find the latest release (including the translation files and manual) on my website (I don't have admin rights for this plugin to modify). There is also a contactsheet plugin for download for small screens.
From ingo (jan2008): Is it possible to crop all picture to be square, so that the index is regular? Yes with my photoprint plugin you can (not yet published, see my website for download). Note: photoprint will be integrated in v3 of contactsheet (if possible).
Please post a link to your website that contains the new version. I could not find it using the obvious search.
May I suggest that you start a new thread here with the latest version? (Since you don't have rights to update this version.) ( I assume that the original author is no longer maintaining it.)
The version in this thread has problems with its registration. I believe the registration parameters were copied from an outdated (but still working?) plugin that uses deprecated (no longer recommended, but still supported) forms of parameters.
Should not the plugin register with label="Contact Sheet" and menu="(Image)/File/Create". (I actually used menu=(Image)/Filters to get it to install.) ???
I tried label="Contact Sheet" and menu="Save" but got the error:
attempted to install Save procedure "python-fu-contact-sheet" which does not take the standard Save Plug-In arguments: (INT32, IMAGE, DRAWABLE, STRING, STRING). ( I elided the less than, greater than chars from the above.)
I think the problem is: Contact Sheet is not a Save plugin, its a Load plugin. It creates an image. The fact that it loads from many other files is a complication. It might mean that you can't register like other Load plugins.
From your other posts, it seems like you are doing a major rewrite. May I suggest that you look at what is done in other imaging programs, for contact sheet like functions. I can't believe it has not already been done for Gimp, or if not, there might be a discussion somewhere about why it hasn't been done or about what it should look like.
Good luck

Elizabeth Reszka, represented by Steve Cohen, claims Collins has breached his duties with self-dealing practices.
Cohen says the incidents include:
1. That on or about February 12, 2010, Councilman Collins was advised by letter that he could not appear as an attorney on behalf of clients in the Town of Hamburg Justice Court as such appearance would constitute a conflict in interests. However, Councilman Collins continued to represent clients with positions adverse to the Town of Hamburg.
2. That on or about February 4, 2010, Councilman Collins, directed a Town of Hamburg employee to post flyers in Town buildings advertising Councilman Collins' legal practice in an attempt to solicit Town employees as clients.
3. That on or about December 22, 2011, Councilman Collins included a third party who was the subject of an investigation on copies of confidential correspondence relating to Town of Hamburg business.
4. That on or about September 29, 2010 Councilman Collins, sent an email to Town of Hamburg employees inaccurately advising that the Town was attempting to modify employees' terms of employment.
5. That after taking office on January 1, 2010, Councilman Collins continued a previously filed Notice of Claim against the Town of Hamburg, on behalf of a personal client of his law firm.
6. That on or about May 7, 2010, Councilman Collins filed with the Hamburg Town Clerk a Notice of Defect against the Town on behalf of a Town of Hamburg resident who was a client of Councilman Collins' law practice, all contrary to the best interests of the Town of Hamburg.
7. That a harassment complaint was filed against Councilman Collins on or about June 17, 2010 by a female employee of the Town of Hamburg.
8. That following an investigation of the harassment complaint, and an opportunity for a hearing, the Town Board found that Councilman Collins violated the Town of Hamburg Code of Ethics by failing to disclose his conflict of interest, by failing to recuse himself from votes of the Town Board regarding matters that direct or indirectly relate to the Notice of Claim which he filed on behalf of a client of his law firm and by engaging in the practice of law before and/or against the Town of Hamburg, during his tenure as a Councilman.
"We've never seen such a consistently blatant violation of ethics and possibly the law by any public official," says Cohen. "Mrs. Reszka is taking a very courageous step. She saw a consistent pattern of ethical and legal violations from Mr. Collins and instead of saying 'it's just politics' she's spending her own money to fight for the rights of everyone living in the Town of Hamburg."
A call to Collins' office at town hall was not returned.

Ideal for that little girl who wants to feel like a big girl, but is still your little princess. The round shape was a cute touch too.

On the heels of SXSW it's clear that SoLoMo is a fact, not a fad. I catch up with BJ Emerson , VP of Technology at Tasti D-Lite, the frozen treat chain with a cult following among health-conscious consumers as well as celebrities. The company doesn't just get So Lo Mo — it has literally written the book on it, and will be releasing The Tasti D-Lite Way :Social Media Lessons for Building Loyalty and a Brand Customers Crave a bit later this year — so watch this space.
BJ, a champion of SoLoMo and an authority on the ways companies can and should harness mobile and location to super-charge Social CRM, spoke at dozens of industry events in the last year, where he discussed the importance of moving beyond mobile integration of loyalty and rewards programs to really understanding the emotions consumers feel and want to express as they engage with brands on this deeply personal level.
The approach certainly delivers results. This last year went on record as the "greatest growth" year in the history of the 24-year old brand. The brand —whose popularity has grown largely by word of mouth — is a veteran when it comes to customer engagement and social media marketing. Beyond U.S. growth, Tasti D-Lite is also expanding internationally, opening locations in Mexico, Australia and the United Arab Emirates.

Santa Rosa County residents are adding their voices to a statewide chorus demanding the Florida Legislature flush a bill mandating septic tank inspections.
"I'm willing to be arrested, if necessary, standing over my septic tank telling them, 'You're not going to pump mine out,'" said Sharon Glass, a Pace resident and an organizer of the Santa Rosa Tea Party Patriots.
Like other "tea party" groups, Santa Rosa Tea Party Patriots support less government regulation and spending and greater financial responsibility. Glass' remarks at Monday's meeting of the Santa Rosa County Commission drew applause from the audience.

Inactive Messiah
Inactive Messiah
When the best song on an album is a cover, work needs to be done. Inactive Messiah are a Greek act, formerly known as Womb of Maggots, if anyone has heard that name before. Apparently the press sheet refers to them as "electro nu death metal". My thoughts exactly. That's a pretty accurate description, however, except for the "death". I hear keyboards and electronic elements, I hear simplistic rhythms and riffs, but there isn't anything really reminiscent of death metal here, unless you count an occasional growl.
Vocalist Mineiro has quite a bit of variety in his voice, ranging from an Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) shout, to a deep growl, to a higher pitched scream, to a mid-pitched power metal delivery. The keyboardist Christos does some backup, so one or more of these styles may be his. They have twin guitarists, which I find mindboggling, considering how straightforward their riffing is, as if they only keep the second guy around to play under a solo.
The first song is as good a place as any to start. "T.C.D.D." is basically a hard rock song, although a catchy one despite a shaky vocal performance. "Blossom Paranoia" is a very melodic tune, with fret-tapping, a keyboard solo, and bouncy riffs. "Back to Life – Memories" features some upbeat Gothenburg melodies, in what is probably the best original track on here. I recommend that they push further in this direction rather than the chunky half-thrash/half-groove metal found on the rest of the album. The production really doesn't help matters, as it is quite clear on the lead guitar and keys, but lacks a lot of overall heft and bottom end power.
They conclude by covering "Marble Shining Face" by another Greek act, Septic Flesh. While I haven't heard the original song, or any other by them, this cover is excellent, sort of doom/death with powerful melodic leads, like olden Katatonia and Rapture but more buoyant. While this choice of a cover was a great move, all it really makes me want to do is pick up a Septic Flesh album.
While there are portions with headbanging potential to be found, there are just as many flat moments, and also a good deal of repetition in the songwriting. My general impression is that Inactive Messiah's self-titled album is a pleasant and unoffending album, but is that what you really want in your metal?

"I must have had good enough hands for them," said Goldstein, 78, of Atlanta, who lectures around the world, is considered a pioneer in his field and wrote the first comprehensive textbook on cosmetic dentistry.
The men were accepted to the school because admissions were handled by the broader university and not the dental school alone, said history professor Goldstein (no relation to Ronald). While quotas worked against Jews in many institutions at the time, the Emory dental school story was unique in that these students faced discrimination after they arrived.
The issues were talked about in small circles, but they weren't discussed loudly.
What student would announce he'd flunked? What parents would talk about such news, especially in a community that put such emphasis on academic achievement? And this was Emory, a hometown liberal arts jewel many local Jews attended; who would criticize -- or believe criticism about -- such a place?
Beyond these hangups was the worry about backlash that permeated Atlanta's Jewish community. It was rooted in fears born of history and reality -- Atlanta's infamous lynching of Leo Frank in 1913, the ongoing activity of the Ku Klux Klan, the 1958 bombing of the city's most prominent synagogue. Israel was still a fledgling nation. This was also the immediate post-Holocaust era, a time when Jewish people in America were just starting to understand the magnitude of what had happened abroad, said Deborah Lauter, the Anti-Defamation League's civil rights director.
"It was a real period of insecurity for the Jewish community, and that didn't really shift 'til 1967," after the Six-Day War between Israel and its neighbors, she said. "With a war victory came a newfound confidence of Jewish people."
But a small handful of Atlanta Jews refused to let go of what was happening at the dental school. Art Levin, 95, paid attention to every snippet. Then the Southeast regional director of the ADL, Levin was determined to make Emory own up to and deal with the dental school's anti-Jewish bias. He collected graduation programs, which included lists of students in all four years, and studied how the Jewish surnames disappeared or were held back while their classmates moved ahead. He nurtured contacts who helped get him inside information from the registrar's office to back up his calculations. He wanted to make the case not by outing any victims but by presenting irrefutable facts.
When the local Jewish Community Relations Council wanted to tone down pressure on the university, Levin's response, as he stated in an Emory-commissioned documentary that premiered Wednesday evening: "Screw that. This guy has been torturing students for 10 years."
Levin, at the time, was "villified" by segments of the Jewish community for making waves, said ADL's Lauter, a former Atlanta resident who, like Levin, did a stint as the organization's Southeast regional director. "But that's why we're here for people who face discrimination. Sometimes ADL has to be the tough guy. We take no prisoners in the fight against anti-Semitism."
While Levin takes great satisfaction in knowing the story is finally getting public acknowledgement, Lauter said it's "bittersweet" for him. "He did feel stung by the whole experience." In 1962, after nine years in his position, he left the world of Jewish community work.
Levin, who now lives in Florida and is hard of hearing, was not able to be interviewed for this story.
A form devised by Buhler, which at the top asked students to check a box -- Caucasian, Jewish or other (Emory was not racially integrated at the time) -- ended up being his downfall, many say. The university president, S. Walter Martin, had been dismissive of the concerns Levin and some others raised. So when Martin was out of town, Levin brought a copy of the form to Judson "Jake" Ward, the dean of faculty, and Ward grew incensed. He marched down to see Buhler, who resigned soon after.
Emory's president still refused to acknowledge what had been going on and wrote off Buhler's resignation as coincidental. Martin even insisted to local press, Goldstein said, that Buhler could have stayed at the dental school as long as he wanted.
With the dean gone, Atlanta's Jewish community essentially closed the book and put it away.
Not the man he knew
That book only recently opened for the former dean's son.
A sister-in-law sent John E. Buhler Jr., 65, a copy of a recent story in the The New York Times about the episode. What he read "caught me completely off guard," he said. "I was completely unaware of that situation."
He was a kid when his father landed at Emory and always believed politics in academia prompted his departure, nothing more. Everything he ever knew about his father, who died on Easter Sunday in 1976, belied what is being discussed now.
The younger Buhler, a retired oral surgeon living in Huntington, Indiana, said he grew up with a man who cared about "helping kids stay in school and not throwing them out of school." When he got into the field himself, he proudly watched how former students sought out his father at conferences, showering him with gratitude. One even boasted that he had named his child after Buhler.
"It just sort of blows me away. ... He did so many positive things for dentistry and students," the younger Buhler said. "It's hard to believe."
Trying to make sense of it all, Buhler Jr.'s daughter sent her father an article that appeared in The Spartanburg Herald in South Carolina in 1964. It was written soon after the older Buhler assumed the dean's post at the new dental school of what was then known as the Medical College of South Carolina -- and after the Jewish community there weighed in with concerns about past anti-Semitism, demanding his appointment be rescinded.
The 1964 article quoted the chairman of the Medical College's board of trustees defending Buhler, saying he was recommended for the new position after a committee concluded the Emory charges were "not as serious as painted at one time."
The former dean's namesake doesn't remember his father ever saying a derogatory word about Jewish people. In fact, he's quick to point out that when the family lived in Atlanta, some of his parents' closest friends were Jewish.
These sorts of claims get former students like Brickman, who led the charge to humanize the dental school's history, riled up. He has collected too many stories and seen too many documents, including incriminating notes written by Buhler himself, to call the former dean anything but an anti-Semite.
But for Buhler Jr., none of this adds up. Really, how can it?

I purchased a pair of vibrom walking boots for everyday use. I am a photographer and i do a lot of walking in all weathers. the vibrom boots are better than others i have previously owned and are the most comfortable lightest boot i have had. the fact they are water proof and very warm also suits wear for every day. From now on there is no other boot i will buy exept these ones. The friendly service in the swansea store from the staff is another eason I will continue shopping there in the future.
15/04/2013 15:10:02
bought these because as i was tying my laces (after trying on the cyclone men's waterproof shoes) on my old walking boots, the laces started to break. i was delighted to find it was buy one get one free. no more broken laces, for a while anyway.

03/05/2012 21:50:41
only problem is not available in green as per current hiking boots. Maybe laces should be produced with fewer colours, so easier to replace..

Cod, Atlantic
(Hook-and-line from U.S. Gulf of Maine)
Atlantic cod has suffered from decades of overfishing, resulting in massive population declines. In addition, many cod are caught with trawls, which cause habitat damage. U.S. hook-and-line caught cod is a "Good Alternative," but consumers should "Avoid" U.S. and Canadian trawl-caught Atlantic cod. Hook-and-line caught cod from Iceland and the Northeast Arctic is a "Best Choice," while Icelandic and Northeastern Arctic cod using other catch methods is considered a "Good Alternative."
Market Names:
Scrod, Whitefish
Atlantic cod is a deep-water fish, living at 1,300 feet or more on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Cod is one of several groundfish species, meaning that they live on the seafloor.
For centuries, north Atlantic cod was one of the world's largest and most reliable fisheries. However, decades of overfishing have resulted in dramatic population declines. Although many cod stocks in the Atlantic are severely depleted and still experience overfishing, cod are more abundant in Iceland and the northeast Arctic and are being fished sustainably.
Fishermen often catch cod with bottom trawl gear, which involves dragging large nets across the seafloor. Trawling damages marine habitats and produces bycatch. However, a portion of the Icelandic and northeast Arctic fisheries uses hook-and-line gear, which results in low levels of bycatch and habitat damage.
When purchasing U.S. Atlantic cod, "Avoid" trawl-caught and look for hook-and-line caught instead, a "Good Alternative."

Tips & Deductions
Taxpayers wishing to lend support the relief efforts in Haiti now have an additional incentive to do so, thanks to new legislation signed into law by President Obama.
The new bill gives taxpayers two options regarding monetary contributions for Haitian Earthquake Relief. They can either deduct contributions made after January 11, 2010 and before March 1, 2010 on their 2009 tax return or they can wait and claim the deduction on their 2010 return. In addition to allowing contributions to be deducted on a 2009 tax return, the bill also includes a provision that recognizes donations made to a charitable organization via text message, provided that a copy of the phone bill showing the date, time, organization name and donation amount is available.
There are several ways to make a tax-deductible contribution to a qualified charitable organization: through a cash payment, check or credit card charge or by making a payroll deduction to a charity.
Be sure to keep records of your donations. Acceptable records include a receipt from the organization that states the date, name, address, location, and amount of the donation; a cancelled check; or other bank documents that provide the same information. Don't forget to claim all the household items and clothing you donated to your church, school, or other local charity during the year. The fair-market value of all items in good or better condition that are donated to a qualified organization are deductible. Make sure you keep a list of all items donated and their value when you contributed them. If you volunteer your time, you can also deduct out-of-pocket expenses you have that are directly related to your volunteer work.
When choosing a charity to make a donation to, keep in mind that contributions to domestic, tax-exempt organizations that provide assistance to individuals in foreign lands qualify as tax deductible contributions for federal income tax purposes, provided the U.S. organization has full control and discretion over the uses of such funds. Contributions to foreign organizations are generally not deductible. Contributions to benefit specific individuals or families are also not deductible.
You can search for qualified organizations on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Web site at www.irs.gov.

No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.

There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.

Briquettes & Lava Rock
Grilling isn't just about throwing meat onto a grate and waiting for the color to change. It's an art form, and there a lot of complexities to it that many people overlook. For instance, how do you maximize your heat to get the most flavor? How do you distribute your heat evenly along the grill to ensure that all of your chicken wings, burgers and steaks achieve the same level of perfection? If you're struggling to get the most from your grilling efforts, the solution may be as simple as a lava rock assortment or some quality charcoal briquettes.

The Lost Tribes of the Amazon
Often described as "uncontacted," isolated groups living deep in the South American forest resist the ways of the modern world—at least for now
- By Joshua Hammer
- Photographs by Dominic Bracco II
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2013, Subscribe
On a cloudless afternoon in the foothills of the Andes, Eliana Martínez took off for the Amazon jungle in a single-engine Cessna 172K from an airstrip near Colombia's capital, Bogotá. Squeezed with her in the tiny four-seat compartment were Roberto Franco, a Colombian expert on Amazon Indians; Cristóbal von Rothkirch, a Colombian photographer; and a veteran pilot. Martínez and Franco carried a large topographical map of Río Puré National Park, 2.47 million acres of dense jungle intersected by muddy rivers and creeks and inhabited by jaguars and wild peccaries—and, they believed, several isolated groups of Indians. "We didn't have a lot of expectation that we'd find anything," Martínez, 44, told me, as thunder rumbled from the jungle. A deluge began to pound the tin roof of the headquarters of Amacayacu National Park, beside the Amazon River, where she now serves as administrator. "It was like searching for the needle in the haystack."
Martínez and Franco had embarked that day on a rescue mission. For decades, adventurers and hunters had provided tantalizing reports that an "uncontacted tribe" was hidden in the rainforest between the Caquetá and Putumayo rivers in the heart of Colombia's Amazon. Colombia had set up Río Puré National Park in 2002 partly as a means of safeguarding these Indians, but because their exact whereabouts were unknown, the protection that the government could offer was strictly theoretical. Gold miners, loggers, settlers, narcotics traffickers and Marxist guerrillas had been invading the territory with impunity, putting anyone dwelling in the jungle at risk. Now, after two years' preparation, Martínez and Franco were venturing into the skies to confirm the tribe's existence—and pinpoint its exact location. "You can't protect their territory if you don't know where they are," said Martínez, an intense woman with fine lines around her eyes and long black hair pulled into a ponytail.
Descending from the Andes, the team reached the park's western perimeter after four hours and flew low over primary rainforest. They ticked off a series of GPS points marking likely Indian habitation zones. Most of them were located at the headwaters for tributaries of the Caquetá and the Putumayo, flowing to the north and south, respectively, of the park. "It was just green, green, green. You didn't see any clearing," she recalled. They had covered 13 points without success, when, near a creek called the Río Bernardo, Franco shouted a single word: "Maloca!"
Martínez leaned over Franco.
"Donde? Donde?"—Where? Where? she yelled excitedly.
Directly below, Franco pointed out a traditional longhouse, constructed of palm leaves and open at one end, standing in a clearing deep in the jungle. Surrounding the house were plots of plantains and peach palms, a thin-trunked tree that produces a nutritious fruit. The vast wilderness seemed to press in on this island of human habitation, emphasizing its solitude. The pilot dipped the Cessna to just several hundred feet above the maloca in the hope of spotting its occupants. But nobody was visible. "We made two circles around, and then took off so as not to disturb them," says Martínez. "We came back to earth very content."
Back in Bogotá, the team employed advanced digital technology to enhance photos of the maloca. It was then that they got incontrovertible evidence of what they had been looking for. Standing near the maloca, looking up at the plane, was an Indian woman wearing a breechcloth, her face and upper body smeared with paint.
Franco and Martínez believe that the maloca they spotted, along with four more they discovered the next day, belong to two indigenous groups, the Yuri and the Passé—perhaps the last isolated tribes in the Colombian Amazon. Often described, misleadingly, as "uncontacted Indians," these groups, in fact, retreated from major rivers and ventured deeper into the jungle at the height of the South American rubber boom a century ago. They were on the run from massacres, enslavement and infections against which their bodies had no defenses. For the past century, they have lived with an awareness—and fear—of the outside world, anthropologists say, and have made the choice to avoid contact. Vestiges of the Stone Age in the 21st century, these people serve as a living reminder of the resilience—and fragility—of ancient cultures in the face of a developmental onslaught.
For decades, the governments of Amazon nations showed little interest in protecting these groups; they often viewed them as unwanted remnants of backwardness. In the 1960s and '70s Brazil tried, unsuccessfully, to assimilate, pacify and relocate Indians who stood in the way of commercial exploitation of the Amazon. Finally, in 1987, it set up the Department of Isolated Indians inside FUNAI (Fundação Nacional do Índio), Brazil's Indian agency. The department's visionary director, Sydney Possuelo, secured the creation of a Maine-size tract of Amazonian rainforest called the Javari Valley Indigenous Land, which would be sealed off to outsiders in perpetuity. In 2002, Possuelo led a three-month expedition by dugout canoe and on foot to verify the presence in the reserve of the Flecheiros, or Arrow People, known to repel intruders with a shower of curare-tipped arrows. The U.S. journalist Scott Wallace chronicled the expedition in his 2011 book, The Unconquered, which drew international attention to Possuelo's efforts. Today, the Javari reserve, says FUNAI's regional coordinator Fabricio Amorim, is home to "the greatest concentration of isolated groups in the Amazon and the world."
Other Amazon nations, too, have taken measures to protect their indigenous peoples. Peru's Manú National Park contains some of the greatest biodiversity of any nature reserve in the world; permanent human habitation is restricted to several tribes. Colombia has turned almost 82 million acres of Amazon jungle, nearly half its Amazon region, into 14.8 million acres of national parks, where all development is prohibited, and resguardos, 66.7 million acres of private reserves owned by indigenous peoples. In 2011 Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos signed legislation that guaranteed "the rights of uncontacted indigenous peoples...to remain in that condition and live freely according to their cultures on their ancestral lands."
The reality, however, has fallen short of the promises. Conservation groups have criticized Peru for winking at "ecotourism" companies that take visitors to gape at isolated Indians. Last year, timber companies working illegally inside Manú National Park drove a group of isolated Mashco-Piro Indians from their forest sanctuary.
Colombia, beset by cocaine traffickers and the hemisphere's longest Marxist-Leninist insurgency, hasn't always succeeded in policing its rainforests effectively either. Several groups of Indians have been forcibly assimilated and dispersed in recent years.

Are you kidding? These guys didn't travel anywhere, they wax lyrical about Franco's remarkable discovery, but they barely went outside the suburbs of a town of 40,000 people, and an international airport. The author might have well written it from his armchair back in the US. Lazy. But I suppose that's what you get if these mag isn't prepared to pay a local journalist / photog to do it, who actually knows the ground and has contacts.
Posted by Piers C on June 29,2013 | 06:01 AM
these indigenous peoples are not lost. the forest is their home. their cultures and values are preserved. the ones who are lost are the ones who have lost their values and do not know who they are anymore. what do you mean ways of the modern world. their world is modern and civilized but we are the uncivilized ones because we have lost our identity as a people. they don~t have to become like us to be modern.

One of the most rambling articles I've waded through in Smithsonian. Full of inaccuracies as noted previously, and where is "Garcia"? There are pictures of his kids but no mention of him in the piece. We do learn from a caption that he is the son of Jitoma Safiama, so what? Maybe your next piece should be about the lost editors of North America. I also noticed many more, and more relevant photos on line than in the magazine. Maybe I should skip my subscription and just put my laptop in the bathroom.
Posted by Phillip Hagerty on March 18,2013 | 04:26 PM
Surely the irony is not lost on anyone of a tribe in an Amazonian village named 'Nazareth' eschewing (further) contact with the outside world? The mere fact of their village being named 'Nazareth' makes it seem like they've had more than their fair share outside influence already?

Those interested in native peoples of South America may enjoy learning about the Aché people of Paraguay. Some of their stories about their last years in the forest as their lands were being taken by Paraguayans moving in are told in my ethnographic novel The Shrinking Jungle (University of Utah Press, 2012). See www.theshrinkingjungle.com for more information.

The article makes a significant point in making visible the ongoing efforts directed to protect isolated indigenous groups in Colombia. However, the abundance of errors, inaccuracies and superficial claims throughout the text is striking, especially considering Smithsonian magazine high scientific standards and international prestige. Any reader slightly familiarized with the Colombian Amazon will notice the author's ignorance of the region, perhaps evidencing his lack of a true interest on the topic. These are some evident errors and inaccuracies that could have been easily checked by the author: -The isolated indigenous groups are not "Vestiges of the Stone Age in the 21st century"; for instance, they possess metal axes and machetes, tools obtained from numerous contacts with non-indigenous peoples during the last four hundred years. -The war with Peru did not take place in 1922 but in 1932 -The Puré River does not flow into the Putumayo but in the Caquetá River. The author's claim that "The Casa Arana, controlled much of what is now the Colombian Amazon region" is not accurate. The Casa Arana actually dominated a large area between the Caquetá and Putumayo Rivers, comprising around 5 million hectares. Yet, the total area of the Colombian Amazon is 40 million hectares.

This shows enlightened public policy. Wish we had practiced it with our own native americans.

I think it would be good to contact them, if only to let them know that someone has died for their sins, and that through accepting the blood of Jesus Christ as their one true lord and savior can they be set free. Then they will have a chance of actually living, as opposed to the excrementual existence they have now.

"Standing near the maloca, looking up at the plane, was an Indian woman..." Indian woman? Where's the evidence that this woman was from India?

Great article. Great photos too. Too bad someone can't do something about the timber companies. There's always greed to ruin something.
Posted by Pamella on February 24,2013 | 05:44 PM
Culture is not static for any group of people. But what is alarming is that 90% of the languages, which are classified as endangered, are languages of indigenous peoples. When these languages are lost, so is all the lore locked up inside of them. For when these people eventually become acculturated, they language will replaced by Spanish.

Very nice news, congratulation about the work Eliana. Smithsonian Magazine this people are not "Vestiges of the Stone Age in the 21st century" they are only a diferente culture with diferente Knowledge. This evolutionary view dont get nice with a so good institution. Hilton Nascimento

I resent the "lost tribe" title. As a Native Alaskan all I have to say is that the "west" hadn't cared enough or the and held no resources that the "west" wanted to exploit. It's as usual a demeaning headline.

Flyers' Bryzgalov frustrates Devils
Ilya Bryzgalov made saves in all types of situations — and positions. Flat on his back, Bryzgalov held off one Devils push. Upright on skates, he pushed aside a short-handed surge. No matter how he stopped the puck, Bryzgalov and the Flyers showed they do indeed have some fight left in their playoff push. And they did it at the Devils' expense, as Matt Read and Claude Giroux both scored goals in the shootout to hand the Devils a 2-1 loss last night. It was a tough defeat for the Devils, who have won only three of their last 11 games. They entered last night having won three of four following a six-game losing streak, but they could not keep their good fortunes going against Bryzgalov, who stopped all 10 shots in the first period and a whopping six in the 5-minute overtime. "We had a couple good chances," Ilya Kovalchuk said. "But The Bryz was playing real well tonight."
