Flooding and Resilience: Valuing Conservation Investments in a World with Climate Change
Carolyn Kousky
Margaret A. Walls
, Ziyan Chu
RFF Discussion Paper 13-38 | December 2013
Abstract: Communities in the United States are showing increasing interest in the use of forests, wetlands, and other natural areas to provide protection against extreme events. As the climate changes and such events become more frequent and/or more severe, investments in the conservation of natural areas should become more valuable. But how much more valuable is an open question. In this study, we evaluate the climate resilience benefits of a green infrastructure investment in Missouri: the Meramec Greenway. A buffer of forested lands and other open space, the Meramec Greenway runs along the Meramec River from its confluence with the Mississippi River south of St. Louis into the Ozark uplands. The study builds off of a recent benefit–cost analysis of the Greenway conducted by the authors but evaluates the additional benefits of floodplain conservation that might be provided if floods in the region (a) become more frequent and/or (b) worsen in severity. Results suggest that the benefits of the Greenway in terms of avoided flood damages are greater in both types of climate change scenarios. However, the size of the benefits under current conditions is the more important finding; climate change reinforces the value of the conservation investment but is not the main story.

Moving from Concept to Implementation: The Emergence of the Northern Everglades Payment for Environmental Services Program
Leonard A. Shabman
, Sarah Lynch
RFF Discussion Paper 13-27 | August 2013
Abstract: The Northern Everglades Payment for Environmental Services (NE-PES) program was launched in 2011 by the state of Florida. The NE-PES program was developed through the Florida Ranchlands Environmental Services Project (FRESP), a six-year collaborative effort (2005–2011) that engaged ranchers, government agencies, and environmental NGOs. Through FRESP, eight pilot water management projects were implemented on cattle ranches. The projects demonstrated how ranchland owners, as service sellers, could enter into contracts with a state agency buyer to provide the buyer-desired services of water retention (acre-feet) and/or nutrient load retention (lbs. of phosphorus or nitrogen). Innovative contract elements, based on the experience of implementing the pilot projects, developed by FRESP collaboration partners made the now operating NE-PES possible.

Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, and Land Use: Comparing Three Federal Policies
Margaret A. Walls
, Anne Riddle
RFF Discussion Paper 12-08 | February 2012
Abstract: Natural ecosystems provide a variety of benefits to society, known as "ecosystem services." Fundamental to the provision of ecosystem services in a region is its underlying biodiversity, i.e., the wealth and variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Because the benefits from ecosystem services and biodiversity are not valued in market exchanges, private landowners tend to undersupply them. We compare and contrast the different approaches taken to providing ecosystem services on private land in three federal programs—the Endangered Species Act, the Conservation Reserve Program, and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) places restrictions on land uses for private landowners if endangered species, or critical habitats for endangered species, are found on their properties. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) compensates farmers for removing valuable property from agricultural production to preserve wildlife habitat, water and soil quality, and other ecosystem values. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act prohibits destruction or damage to wetlands, unless individuals buy credits for equivalent wetlands created by third parties—so-called "wetlands mitigation banks." These three policies run the gamut from a command-and-control regulatory approach to a "payment for ecosystem services" option. We summarize the economics literature on key findings from these programs.

Conservation Return on Investment Analysis: A Review of Results, Methods, and New Directions
James W. Boyd
Rebecca Epanchin-Niell
Juha V. Siikamäki
RFF Discussion Paper 12-01 | January 2012
Abstract: Conservation investments are increasingly evaluated on the basis of their return on investment (ROI). Conservation ROI analysis quantitatively measures the costs, benefits, and risks of investments so conservancies can rank or prioritize them. This paper surveys the existing conservation ROI and related literatures. We organize our synthesis around the way studies treat recurring, core elements of ROI, as a guide for practitioners and consumers of future ROI analyses. ROI analyses involve quantification of a consistent set of elements, including the definition and measurement of the conservation objective as well as identification of the relevant baselines, the type of conservation investments evaluated, and investment costs. We document the state of the art, note some open questions, and provide suggestions for future improvements in data and methods. We also describe ways ROI analysis can be extended to a broader suite of conservation outcomes than biodiversity conservation, which is the typical focus.

A Whole-of-Government Approach to Reducing Tropical Deforestation
Michael Wolosin
, Anne Riddle, Daniel F. Morris
RFF Discussion Paper 11-28 | July 2011
Abstract: Tropical forests provide critical global and local ecosystem services and habitat for many of the world's plants and animals. Their loss threatens the sustainable economic growth and social stability of developing countries, and illegal deforestation abroad places U.S. producers at an unfair disadvantage. For these and other reasons, the United States has long been engaged in programs to reduce forest loss. This engagement has recently increased, with the new Presidential Global Climate Change Initiative including a pillar dedicated to slowing forest loss. While promising, this new funding and coordination is insufficient, with a narrow focus on climate-based development assistance. Engaging the full suite of forest policy levers in the federal government, or taking a "whole-of-government" approach, would provide greater immediate impact in preventing forest loss while building the foundations of a working landscape ethic. In this discussion paper, we explore the opportunities to expand U.S. contributions to reducing tropical deforestation through this approach. A whole-of-government approach to international deforestation consists of coordinating and focusing the programs across the federal government that could reduce the rate of tropical forest loss. It is an integrated strategy that employs existing activities and authorities of the U.S. government and directs them under an overarching goal of reducing deforestation in tropical forest countries, while continuing to support other developing-country goals, such as economic development, health, food security, and biodiversity. We identify three major areas where policy adjustments and actions by relevant authorities can have immediate and tangible impact on reducing deforestation.

Conditional Cash Transfers and Payments for Environmental Services A Conceptual Framework for Explaining and Judging Differences in Outcomes
Martin Persson, Francisco Alpízar
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 11-06 | May 2011
Abstract: Despite the recent popularity of conditional cash transfers (CCT) and payments for environmental services (PES) programs, what determines their success is not well understood. We developed a conceptual framework to give insight into some of the main determinants of CCT and PES program efficiency that hope to increase investments in human and environmental capital. We used a simple agent-based model and validated the results with empirical data from existing programs. We show that 1) the share of participants who meet the program's conditions at baseline is a powerful predictor of program efficiency, (2) and selection bias erodes program efficiency to a large extent. (Selection bias stems from agents who already meet program criteria and who self-select into programs at higher rates than those who do not meet the conditions.) Based on these results, we discuss possibilities for improving efficiency—mainly by targeting applicants or increasing payments—and criteria for evaluating and choosing CCT, PES, or other policy instruments.

Ecosystem Good and Service Co-Effects of Terrestrial Carbon Sequestration: Implications for the US Geological Survey's Land Carbon Methodology
James W. Boyd
, David S. Brookshire
RFF Discussion Paper 11-22 | May 2011
Abstract: This paper describes specific ways in which the analysis of ecosystem goods and services can be included in terrestrial carbon sequestration assessments and planning. It specifically reviews the U.S. Geological Survey's LandCarbon assessment methodology for ecosystem services. The report assumes that the biophysical analysis of co-effects should be designed to facilitate social evaluation. Accordingly, emphasis is placed on natural science strategies and outputs that complement subsequent economic and distributional analysis.

Choice Experiments in Environmental Impact Assessment: The Case of the Toro 3 Hydroelectric Project and the Recreo Verde Tourist Center in Costa Rica
Dora Carías Vega, Francisco Alpízar
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 11-04 | May 2011
Abstract: Choice experiments, a stated preference valuation method, are proposed as a tool to assign monetary values to environmental externalities during the ex-ante stages of environmental impactassessment. This case study looks at the impacts of the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity's Toro 3 hydroelectric project and its affects on the Recreo Verde tourism center in San Carlos, Costa Rica.Compared to other valuation methods (e.g., travel cost and contingent valuation), choice experiments can create hypothetical but realistic scenarios for consumers and generate restoration alternatives for the affected good. Although they have limitations that must be taken into account in environmental impact assessments, incorporating economic parameters—especially resource constraints and tradeoffs—can substantially enrich the assessment process.

Veteran to present "The Vietnam Experience: Sights, Sounds and Smells"
Ralph Swain, a Vietnam veteran, will present "The Vietnam Experience: Sights, Sounds and Smells" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, at Morningside College in the UPS Auditorium in Lincoln Center, 3627 Peters Ave.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS) and the office of diversity affairs.
"The Vietnam Experience: Sights, Sounds and Smells" is a multimedia presentation produced by Swain. The one-hour production utilizes three screens and takes the viewer from basic training to Vietnam at war and back to the United States during one of the most turbulent eras of the 20th century. Images are from the military, the media and the personal collection of the producer. An open discussion will follow.
Swain enlisted in the Army in 1967 and served for three years, including a year-long tour in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. During his tour in Vietnam, among other duties, Swain was the only soldier of enlisted rank assigned to work with a team of seven lieutenant colonels sent to Vietnam to investigate the black market and other illegal activities. Swain spent his tour in Cam Rahn Bay, Tan Son Nhut, Long Binh, Bien Hoa, and Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City). Swain says that although he was "shot at by an enemy sniper, had a hand grenade thrown at me, was targeted by a Viet Cong riding a motorbike with a .45 automatic, and was in a unit rocketed and bombed with satchel charges, I was never able to 'engage the enemy,' as they would hit and run."
Swain was honorably discharged and received nine decorations, including the Army Commendation Medal. He is currently the chair of the humanities division at Western Iowa Tech Community College.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
My name is Jeremy P., and I am a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). I believe that I have the education, experience, and interest in using my skills and background to create value for my students. After three years studying at CU Boulder I realized that a traditional liberal arts school was not going to be able to fulfill my artistic aspiration of being able to apply my creative skills to my career, so I made the switch to SCAD in order to gain the strongest education in the arts that I could. Although I am only a recent graduate, I have already had internships at two major advertising agencies, TM Advertising and The Richards Group. These internships gave me exposure to clients and an opportunity to interact with and be involved in helping those clients to meet their marketing and creative needs. I have also had first-hand experience working directly for clients like The Home Depot on various projects. I pursued these internships in order to learn about the creative process in the workplace and delivering related services to clients. Based on those experiences, I chose to switch schools and majors as a means to further develop the necessary skills for a career in a creative field.I am pursuing teaching as a possible full time career, and I enjoy giving one-on-one help and tutoring in a variety of fields. I know that there are many different learning styles, and I believe that I have the range and flexibility to meet your needs.

FaceVsion announces first Skype-certified HD Webcam
LAS VEGAS--Skype users, I have some good news.
There are currently quite a few high-definition Webcams on the market, but what faceVsion announced at CES 2010 is something rather unique, especially for video calling using Skype.
It's a new HD Webcam called the FV TouchCam N1 that's the result of a partnership between faceVsion and Skype. It's the first HD Webcam that's certified by Skype.
According to faceVsion, most existing HD Webcams suffer from the same barriers when it comes to HD video communication, especially when using Skype. These include the fact that CPU power is … Read more

You have a long list of features (call forwarding, caller id block etc) that you can click on for a description.. but amazingly, the command to invoke these features (such as *72) are just not there!! Only for *69 because that is the name. How can it be that you don't have a list of all the star commands available and prominently posted on your support website?!?!
In particular, I was looking for conditional call forwarding. You call it forwarding when busy/no answer. Only one of your customer support agents knew what I was talking about after multiple multiple calls and gave me the code (*92). I found the description of it buried on your website after looking forever... but it didn't give the code (*92)!!
This should be published!! Actually, you should allow this option in the options page. it is more useful than the option you do have to forward certain numbers.. REALLY Verizon.
Comcast has voicemail transcription. Verizon sales people said you have it too but you don't. So I need to forward my unanswered calls to google voice because they offer the voice transcription. I finally did it successfully after hours of research because you didn't list the star code!! Please fix this!! And teach your agents!!
Thanks. I couldn't find that.. but it is incomplete.. and in fact, doesn't include the star code that I needed and finally found (in a wiki post..not on verizon). I needed *92 for call forwarding when I don't answer my line (to go to my google voicemail). It is not on that list. There are other codes not there as well.

I got a new phone which was originally with some dutch carrier. So i did a soft reset. The phone started and welcomed me in Dutch language. I changed the language and it restarted again. Everything is fine now EXCEPT, my calendar is still stuck in dutch language. It displays days in dutch lanugage on tile view and even when i open the calendar as well.
I have tried setting up language for calendar but there is no option for that. How can i fix it ? - 12-22-2012, 05:58 PM #2
What do you have for your language+region in settings?
make sure you reset your phone, using the reset that is one there once you change the language :)

Residence Hall Lobby Renovations
UHDS is looking to update the residence hall main lobbies and front desk areas in each of their residence halls over a phased timeline of 3-4 years. A majority of this work includes cosmetic finishes such as ceilings, flooring, lighting and wall finishes. At each location the information desk will be completely renovated to reflect a more modern feel as well as creating a consistent "look" throughout all of the residence halls on campus. Rough-in for digital signage and other technologies will also occur.
Conceptual Photos and Renderings
(actual colors and finishes may be different than shown in rendering)
The lobby renovation project will be completed over a 3-4 year timeline. The goal is to renovate 1-2 lobbies per summer, however, due to funding, each lobby will be looked at individually before proceeding with construction.

Photo by BEN TORRES / Special ContributorChris Botti's jazz trumpet chops aren't the only reason he can fill big halls like the Meyerson Symphony Center, where he began a three-day stand on Friday night.
For starters, he's got sex appeal and pop instincts. To put on the crass hat for a moment, Botti is the new Chuck Mangione but with much nicer hair.
But the bigger reason for Botti's success is he dares to do what so many jazz players don't: He entertains -- and with gusto.

Yahoo has built a mobile Safari version of Yahoo Search for the iPhone. Ryan Grove, a Yahoo developer, blogged about the experience of building out the application.
In short, the mobile Safari version gives you almost all of the features the normal Yahoo Search gives you, but with fewer ads and on a smaller screen. Included features are SearchMonkey, Search Assist, shortcuts, and much more. Do note that Yahoo has not built out an iPhone App; this is just a mobile Safari enabled version of Yahoo Search. Here are some screen captures of Yahoo Search on my iPhone:

Work Study is a need-based employment funded by the Federal Work Study program. Awards are based on a financial need calculation using the FAFSA. Students must maintain full time enrollment to be eligible for work study. Work study awards are generally $1200-$2000 per year with the average student working 6-10 hours per week. The work study award is not a guarantee of employment.
Students receive a listing of work study positions. It is the responsibility of the student to set up a meeting with the supervisor for a job interview. The supervisor will contact the Financial Aid Office with an offer to hire. The Financial Aid Office will send an authorization form to the supervisor once all requirements for employment are completed. Students must provide two forms of state/federal ID and complete tax withholding paperwork with the HR office before authorization is completed.
Students are to keep track of their times on a Monthly Auto-calculated Excel timesheet. These timesheets are located on the IWC L: drive under the Human Resources folders in the Student Timesheet folder. There will be a new timecard saved in this location for each month. It is the responsibility of the Work Study Supervisor to see that their student workers receive the timecard for the appropriate pay period month.
Student's timesheets are due to HR no later than the 5th of the month following their monthly pay period. Any time card submitted after this due date will be delayed and processed with the next payroll.

Kick Flipped: How Skateboarding Rides With Race
Skate culture has always been a few steps ahead of mainstream popular culture. It has influenced punk and hip-hop music, fashion and footwear, as well as art and graphic design. Skateboarding is a society of creative brains who take risks and bring new perspectives to old ideas.
Contemporary skateboarding culture thrives artistically and, in recent years financially, via its successful board companies, big money contests and high visibility pro riders. But has it always been on the cutting edge socially? I analyzed my own experiences as a skater and talked to some of skateboarding's media and business elite to get a perspective on how race figures into skateboarding.
Boarding Background
Growing up in San Diego, California, skateboard culture was everywhere. I found myself drawn to it with a passion that no team sport or Boy Scout troop ever evoked. On my board, I explored streets, neighborhoods and the whole city. I encountered like minds, and within a few months I made some of the best friends of my life.
It wasn't until many years later that I truly began to realize just how unique, and perhaps unlikely, our friendships were. While some lived in the quiet and affluent communities of Coronado or North San Diego County, others crossed the border from Tijuana, Mexico every day to skate. Through skateboarding, I was not only able to stretch the horizons of my physical world but my social sphere as well. I had friends from all backgrounds, both ethnic and socio-economic, and it never occurred to us that our mixed group was uncommon outside of skateboarding.
Although we weren't completely unaware of our differences, they paled in comparison to our common desire to shred new territory. Race was something that we occasionally joked about, but it was never a serious issue between us or any other skaters we encountered. At school, our peers often segregated themselves by race like prison gangs while we found common ground, not in the color of our skin, but in the holes in our shoes and the wheels beneath our feet.
Home, however, was a different story. My friends and I would get strange looks from people in our communities or families because we were engaging in an activity that many saw as a "white boy thing." While this never deterred any of us from skating, it made us feel like outcasts. Usually we just ignored it, adding it to the lengthy list of things outsiders did not understand about skateboarding.
Trading Hate for Skate
As we grew older, these misunderstandings occasionally rose above a gentle ribbing or teasing. I can remember African-American pro skater Kellen James (pictured right), who rides for Sk8mafia, getting hassled by gangbangers at a bus stop. Perhaps their idea of blackness did not include skateboarding. While other riders of color and I were used to some feelings of prejudice, either real or perceived, it was frustrating to find this ignorance coming from our own friends and family.
"Everybody got hated on for skating," says Pete Martinez, who works at Street Machine, one of the best-known skate shops in San Diego. He says the estrangement he and his friends felt from parents, teachers and other kids forced them to group together and support each other regardless of what neighborhood they were from.
Martinez says that in his 20 years of skating he never felt there were racial divisions in skateboarding. "It's always been that way because of us and who we are," he says. "Skaters just don't give a fuck." He suggested that the increasing visibility of skaters of color is a matter of taste, not an effort to showcase non-white skaters: "They have better style, and they just happen to be [other] races."
Skateboarding's Mixed History
Perhaps this idea of the stereotypical skater being the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Jeff Spicoli type is based on the fact that the first skateboarders were almost all avid surfers as well. This outdated image has persisted in mainstream culture for decades.
However, the history of skateboarding reveals that it has never been a white-only sport. Mexican-American Tony Alva, one of skateboarding's first mega-stars was, along with the rest of the Z-Boys, including Asian-American skaters Peggy Oki and Shogo Kubo, responsible for bringing skateboarding out of its surfer roots and into a culture of its own.
In the mid- to late '80s, names like Mark Gonzales, Tommy Guerrero (above), and Christian Hosoi soon joined Alva in the pantheon of skate gods, each bringing their own flair and innovation to skate culture.
Michael Sieben, head wizard and artist at Roger Skateboards and columnist for Thrasher Magazine, grew up far from the smooth seaside asphalt of Santa Monica. In his native Texas, the population was less diverse but he says the skate scene still represented a pretty good cross section of its inhabitants. "When I first started skating [in '86 and '87] most of the dudes in the magazines were white guys skating vert[icle] ramps," says Sieben. "If you picked up a magazine at that time and flipped through it, you'd definitely see more white dudes than any other ethnicity."
In his book The Answer is Never, Jocko Weyland chronicles the sea change from skateboarding's infancy to its rise as a multi-billion dollar "sport" and industry. Weyland writes about the transformation of this idyllic American toy into an edgier symbol. This was captured by the photos Craig R. Stecyk shot in 1976 of "El Thumper," a skater Weyland describes as "a hardcore cholo wearing sunglasses and a bandana on his head, holding a board with his middle finger extended over the grip tape." In an e-mail interview, Weyland elaborates: "Skating was [always] multicultural... there were always a lot of non-whiteys involved in skating, which is something I liked about it."
If the menacing appearance of "El Thumper" signaled a change in the culture, it was a harbinger of the renaissance that skateboarding would undergo as it left the concrete skateparks and backyard pools of the '70s and '80s and took to the streets.
Street Style and Urban Changes
As skateboarding moved out of the suburbs and into cities, it embraced new terrain and participants as a fresh cadre of professional skaters and companies rose to the top. When Chocolate Skateboards was founded in 1994, it was hailed by many as a "multicultural team." Though it wasn't the first team of multiracial skaters, it did anticipate the subsequent change in racial demographics brought on by the popularity of street skating.
In the 2004 skate film Hot Chocolate, original Chocolate rider Richard Mulder, who is Dutch and Filipino, reminisces, "When I was on Chocolate at that time... we had all these different races on the team." Mulder, however, cares less about the ethnicities of his teammates and more about the fact that "they just looked right on their skateboards."
With street skating's ascendance, urban jungles like New York and San Francisco became meccas for skaters seeking concrete adventures. Urban centers, by demographic default, have largely had more multicultural skate scenes than smaller towns or suburbs. New York City, in particular, was a breeding ground for skate talent from all over the East Coast.
"Skateboarding is an activity [for youth of color] that is just exploding in the cities," says Steve Rodriguez, founder of 5Boro Skateboards, and a central figure in the New York skate scene. Respected Supreme skate shop manager Charles Lamb agrees that the scene has always been diverse.
The scene in San Francisco, a city famous for its diversity, has similarly become home-base for many skate companies and magazines -- an organic result of both the city's unique hilly streets and the cosmopolitan environment. J. Strada, of FTC, a skate shop in operation for over 20 years, says the recent boom in skateboarding's popularity has helped sales but has not changed the diversity of the scene. "San Francisco has been the same the whole time," says Strada.
Hood Grinding |
In West Oakland's DeFremery Park, a.k.a. Little Bobby Hutton Park, a new kind of revolution is going down. Located in the heart of one of the city's largely working-class African American neighborhoods, the site that forty years ago birthed the Black Panther Party is now home to Town Park, the city's first fully-sanctioned skate park. While the revolution still may not be televised, the park's founders predict that it will roll up on four wheels and a deck. The fully tricked-out park, which officially opened on October 18, 2008, is the brainchild of Oakland's Keith "K-Dub" Williams, a noted visual artist, teacher and former skater from South Central Los Angeles. K-Dub conceived of the project after the three-year success of Hood Games, his inner-city answer to the ESPN X Games. In a town with a large teenage population and mounting youth violence, the games and skatepark have acted as an oasis for local youth, many of whom hail from the ethnically diverse and under-served communities throughout "The Town's" flatland neighborhoods. "This is my way of having events that celebrate youth and youth culture," says Williams, who sees skateboarding as a metaphor for life. "The concrete will humble you... it teaches you to fall down and get right back up." (image: Dylan Wooters) |
Money Changes Everything?
After a relative lull in the mid-'90s, skateboarding began to rapidly change, with more money and commercial interest than ever. Even the most out of touch non-skater may have noticed the culture's skyrocketing fame in recent years. Tony Hawk's video game series and ESPN's X Games are just a few of skateboarding's more noticeable mainstream outgrowths. For better or worse, all this attention has brought more people and money into skating.
Yet, for all of skateboarding's growing popularity and historic multicultural achievements, the old stereotype of the white suburban skater still exists in the minds of the general public, leaving non-white skaters feeling a little out of place.
Part of this is due to the mainstream media's push to make skating consumer friendly. Additionally, the last several years have seen a resurgence of skateparks throughout the country (see sidebar). While many of them are designed and built by skaters, the majority are little more than carelessly designed enclosures for suburban youth. The popularity of skateparks is only a small symbol of what many skaters see as outside forces -- both financial and governmental -- eager to capitalize on a trend.
The larger scope of this issue is what Michael Sieben would describe as "target marketing." Commercial entities such as Mountain Dew or popular hip-hop producer Pharell "Skateboard P" Willams use skateboarding to market a product or themselves. It's no wonder that skateboarders have become increasingly cynical when it comes to anything with even the slightest tinge of mainstream.
Uneven Skate Portrayals
The media's courtship of skateboarding has not been one-sided. Television shows like MTV's "Viva La Bam," "Rob and Big" and "Life of Ryan" (a program serious skaters consider an embarrassment), show professional skaters in their "real" lives. Regardless of the shows' inaccurate portrayals, the majority of viewers are not skaters themselves and may take these TV images at face value.
"Life of Ryan" sells its star Ryan Sheckler, an affluent white suburbanite, as the typical skater, despite his fame and inflated income. By contrast, there are few representations of low-income or non-white skaters in the mainstream media, which leaves the non-skateboarding masses with an outdated idea of what a skater is and with little insight into skateboarding's rich cultural diversity.
This lack of representation is not a new story. Sieben jokes that the idea of skateboarding as a "white" activity came from cheesy Hollywood movies with white protagonists like Gleaming the Cube and Thrashin'. Some films have attempted to give a more realistic portrayal of skateboarding as an urban and multicultural activity, most notably Larry Clark's 1995 feature Kids about young teens in New York City, and 2005's Wassup Rockers, which follows a group of young Hispanic skaters from South Central LA as they mingle with girls in Beverly Hills. Both films attempt to dissect the issue of race and skateboarding through characters who contradict mainstream culture's skateboarding archetype.
Of course, skateboarding companies themselves use style trends to cater to various niche markets. For example, African-American skate legend and former Chocolate pro, Stevie Williams (right), formed the hip-hop influenced company Dirty Ghetto Kids (DGK). DGK promotes a distinctive image reflected by its multiracial team.
Similarly, some companies market their products to skaters who are into the punk or metal look, others to an earth-conscious style. The emergence of these niche markets has been the subject of debate in skateboarding circles, leading some to simplify the divide as simply "baggy pants versus tight pants."
One of the only instances of overt racism in skateboarding that I, or anyone I interviewed, could recall was sparked when Corey Duffel, not yet a professional skater, called Williams a "trashy nigger" in an interview with Big Brother magazine.
The backlash was disastrous for Duffel who was dropped from some of his sponsors and is still living down the racist comment. This incident aside, the divisions within skateboarding are located in fasion and music rather than race.
Race on Board
"Deathwish is all gangsters," claims Dan Rogers, head of sales for both Deathwish and its sister company, Baker. A look at the Deathwish roster will prove otherwise. While rider Antwuan Dixon looks the part of a gangster, some of his teammates, such as Salt Lake City native "Lizard King," are far from gangster in the literal sense. Such is the dichotomous marketing magic of Baker and Deathwish. "In the real world they wouldn't cross paths," Rogers says of the two teammates.
Deathwish/Baker founder Andrew Reynolds marketed their brand to the grittier and less glamorous side of skateboarding, with Baker becoming notable for taking young talent from low-income Los Angeles neighborhoods and turning them into skate celebrities. "Reynolds is super into playing the race card," says Rogers of a 2006 Baker magazine ad proclaiming rider Terry Kennedy of Long Beach to be "the best black skater in the world."
Rogers says that race does not play into the selection process for new riders; it is a consequence of looking for skaters who not only have skill but unique style and personality as well.
Other companies have taken his lead with more and more teams both racially diverse and marketing to a variety of styles, destroying old misconceptions that a company is "black" or "white" because of its riders or its board graphics.
With more riders from Europe and other countries gaining notoriety in America, the idea of being able to describe skateboarding by the way a skater looks or dresses is quickly becoming impossible. "The exposure is making it change," Rogers says of traditional notions of race in skateboarding and marketing.
In the end it comes back to the old lessons I learned on the streets of San Diego with my friends, appreciating and accepting people because of a shared passion for skateboarding, even if it is the only thing you have in common.

Explain the title
Posted by: JurijTurnsek on Nov 6, 2008 11:29 AM
First of, this article is amazing - well structured, very informative and most of all very accurate.I am trying to translate this article in Slovene, because I am a student of translation and this is excellent practice on a subject I love (skateboarding).
I am having great difficulties with translating the title, especially with what exactly did the author mean with the addition of Kick Flipped. If anyone has a take on it, I would love to hear it, and if that someone is the author of the text, that would be perfect.

Committee on Judicial Ethics
Making a Request
Judges and individuals who have been nominated to be judges can request advice from the Committee on Judicial Ethics in two ways: informally and formally. All requests for advice are strictly confidential, except in the extraordinary circumstances described in S.J.C. Rule 3:11 (6).
Informal Requests & Advice
Judges and nominees can make informal requests for advice by telephone or via e-mail. Informal advice is given in instances when the answer to the request is reasonably clear. The Committee members will discuss the request and will typically offer advice, by telephone, within a few days. If time is of the essence, the Committee will consider the time-sensitive nature of the request and will attempt to give its advice as promptly as possible.
The preponderance of the Committee's business consists of informal requests and advice. However, informal advice, unlike a formal opinion from the Committee, does not provide the judge with the protection described in S.J.C. Rule 3:11 (6).
In some cases, the Committee may deem the question presented to be such that a formal request is more appropriate. In such a case, the Committee will decline to answer the request informally and will invite the requesting judge to submit a formal request in writing.
Formal Requests & Opinions
Judges and nominees can also make formal requests by writing a letter seeking a formal opinion. The form of the request is prescribed by S.J.C. Rule 3:11 (2) and Rule 2 of the Committee rules, both of which can be found on our web site and in West's Massachusetts Rules of Court. The letter should include all of the pertinent facts so that the Committee can properly assess the situation and provide an appropriate opinion.
The Committee issues its formal opinions in writing, typically within forty-five days of receiving a request, and publishes its formal opinions pursuant to S.J.C. Rule 3:11 (3). Published opinions do not include the requesting judge's name or other identifying information. If the request is time-sensitive, the Committee will make every effort to issue an opinion as promptly as possible.
Judges who receive, and then take action in reasonable reliance on, a formal opinion are protected from disciplinary action even if the Committee's opinion is later found to have been erroneous. S.J.C. Rule 3:11 (3).
Emergency Requests & Opinions
In rare instances, two members of the Committee can dispense with the usual requirements and give advice on an emergency basis.
Internet and Intranet Sites
Before making a request, you might wish to peruse the Committee's web site to determine whether there already exist any opinions on point. In addition to the text of the Committee's opinions, the web site also contains a variety of other information that you may find helpful, including the text of the Code of Judicial Conduct and rules governing the Committee.
The web site can be reached by going to http://www.mass.gov/courts/sjc/ and clicking the link to "Judicial and Clerks' Ethics Committees."
The same information is contained on the Committee's site on the judiciary's Intranet. To visit the Intranet site, go to http://trialcourtweb.jud.state.ma.us/ and then follow the links to "Courts," "Supreme Judicial Court," and "Judicial Ethics Opinions."
Contact Information
Requests for informal advice and formal opinions, and any questions concerning the Committee, should be directed to:
Pamela B. Lyons, Esq.
Secretary, Committee on Judicial Ethics
John Adams Courthouse
1 Pemberton Square, Suite 2500
Boston, MA 02108-1750
Phone: (617) 557-1071

Re: google now on cm9.0.0 stable
clean install - don't upgrade from a prior version - I upgraded from cm9 alpha, then to beta and then to cm9 stable without wiping. Doing that is prone for problems like this but I didn't want to reinstall everything this time. In order to get google now to work a complete wipe of data in the CWM recovery was needed and then install cm9 stable.
If you did that then you should be good to go. Googlle now is kinda slow be forewarned.What's Shaking - free earthquake app

Re: google now on cm9.0.0 stable
Even with a clean install I had an issue with no "ding" sound in googe now. Found a fix finally to a pesky volume issue - on google now when I click search I don't get the "ding" sound so it was hard to know when to start speaking. Also noticed that the "clicky" sound when navigating in cm 9 wasn't occuring.
Turns out system sounds was on mute, but there's no control panel for it. Solution I found was in this thread:
INstall a app called volume control+, in there make sure system sounds is at max. Everything will work fine now.What's Shaking - free earthquake app

Re: google now on cm9.0.0 stable
I have been playing around with Google Now, too. Frustrating as hell :lol:
When i first installed it, I had recently googled the school where my son's basketball practice was and it constantly put a notification up of how long it would take to get there. Like every 2 minutes for a couple hours. I can't remember how I got rid of that.
This morning, I tried to get traffic info for my commute and no matter how I phrased it, it would just give me google search results for "how far do you live from work" or something like that. I went through the settings and I think i have it settled down now. I am interested in anyone else who is playing with it.
I am running cm9 rc2 (stable had some weird problem, I recall). I downloaded a mixer theme that is pretty cool and started using handcent and a couple other non-stock apps. I am just waiting until my contract is up with sprint so I can shop around. It helps to resist the urge to get a new phone by constantly jacking around with this one.
BTW, this post sums up what you need to do to install it. I did the velvet 7 inverted because I wanted the screen black. It pretty much just worked. I don't think I did anything else other than doing a nandroid backup and backing up updates and new apps in titanium, just in case. - 12-13-2012, 11:34 AM #7
Re: google now on cm9.0.0 stable
BTW, I removed it. It wasn't all that cool asking it questions all the time. the anticipatory cards just never seemed to catch up with me. AND, the worst thing was that my phone was always awake. The battery graphs would show a solid line for "awake" even when the screen was off. Last night, I went to bed and my phone was 100%. I forgot to plug it in. When I woke up it was at 30%. For 8 hours the screen was off and it was wide awake. I just flashed the removal and it's back to what it was doing before the google now experiment.
Prior to removal, I had turned off google now and unchecked the location stuff. Android OS was the guy using all the juice. i think I saw Maps as being implicated.

A profile of the deadliest sniper in American history, who was murdered last month by a fellow soldier.
In a Plano bowling alley one night, Bill Fong came so close to perfection that it nearly killed him.
For 12 days she was tortured and raped by a former neighbor, who strung her up on a deer-skinning device. On the fourth day, she forgave him.
Before I met Robert Jeffress, I wanted to hate him. Jeffress is the conservative preacher who made national headlines in October, when he called Mormonism a cult. He's the senior pastor at First Baptist Dallas, the oldest megachurch in America, and I am certainly not a Baptist. He endorsed Rick Perry for president, and I'm definitely no fan of Perry's. As a matter of fact, Robert Jeffress and I probably disagree on every major political and religious issue. And yet, I really, really like him.
In the days after 9/11, Mark Stroman went on a revenge killing spree in Texas. Rais Bhuiyan survived and, a decade later, tried to stop Stroman's execution.

Endless War features controversial strategist Ralph Peters at his most provocative and popular, raising perceptive, often shocking questions others fear to ask. In a sweeping collection that ranges from Muslim military triumphs a thousand years ago through the turning of the tide between East and West to the brutal unconventional struggles of today and tomorrow, former Military Intelligence officer Peters extends his successful series of books on strategy and security affairs that have won him diehard fans for his insight, firsthand experience, and frankness.
Endless War engages the toughest security issues of our time, including:
Does our Afghan war make sense? Can we win? Do we even have a strategy?
Has flawed military planning left our troops as virtual hostages in combat zones?
Can Israel survive? What would an Iranian nuclear arsenal mean for the world?
Is Islam a "religion of peace," or has the war between Islam and Western civilization continued virtually without interruption for almost fourteen centuries?
Why doesn�t the greatest superpower in history win more often? Are we our own worst enemies?
Have we lost our sense of warfare�s reality? Why don�t we fight to win?
Do terrorist prisoners really deserve better treatment than American citizens?
What�s the true price of striking serious history courses from our schools?
Who does deeper damage to the United States, our violent enemies or an arrogant ruling elite?
In powerful prose combining clarity with passion, Ralph Peters continues to shape our country�s military and strategic thought, while standing up for our troops and American values. No book on strategy or foreign affairs this year will be fiercer or more brutally honest. As ever more dark clouds gather over the world, this is a voice we need!
About the Author:
