AP Article On Cyborg Steve Mann 342
from the one-man-hardware-store dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"External augmentation does not a cyborg make"
Or something of that ilk. You figure it out
"For example, Mann and his graduate students have developed software that can transform billboards or other rectangular shapes in the physical world -- when viewed through the lens of a wearable computer -- into virtual boxes for reading e-mail and other messages."
So in the future we will be able to take the real world and turn it into what we want? So I can make every billboard have Cindy Crawford on it or make it a linux add? What about if we just don't want to see the messages that are around us in the "real" world. I swear officer I didn't see 65 on that speed limit sign. My eye piece made it look like it said 85mph.
I know that I have had times in my life where I have spent 18 - 20 hours in front of my computer. At that time I thought I had a great life but in truth it sucked. All I did was read and write code and emails. There is so much more to life than that. Sometimes it is good to take a step away from the monitor and see the world as it is.
The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes.

MACH, the world leader in direct operator billing, and mobile payments leader payvia, today announced a partnership to integrate their carrier billing technologies providing customers with seamless worldwide mobile payment platforms. Building on the partnership, MACH will shortly launch its Direct Carrier Billing service in the US, leveraging payvia's US footprint and relationships with the main mobile operators. This carrier billing service for app, in-app and online purchases, makes it easier than ever for end-users to complete transactions via their mobile phones.
payvia and MACH's platforms monetize services for developers, app stores, online merchants and other content providers, opening a brand new revenue stream and letting them maximize revenues from online, in-app and app billing. By bringing their direct carrier billing technologies together in a seamless global platform, the partners will extend this frictionless payment option that is more secure, fast and convenient than both credit card and premium SMS billing. The ability to buy without a credit card also offers subscribers a more secure channel through which to pay for app and in-app goods, giving them peace of mind that they are not compromising sensitive information while making their purchases.
Michael De Jongh, Global Head of Sales, Mobile Billing and Payments, MACH, commented: "MACH is committed to making the monetization of services easier for our customers. Through our Direct Billing Gateway, we offer a comprehensive billing service which provides the glue to unite application stores, content providers and merchants with carriers. payvia's trusted brand and leadership in direct carrier billing in the US market makes them an ideal partner to bring our solution to the country. We are looking forward to redefining the mobile payment landscape together."
payvia will leverage MACH's European footprint and market strength to extend the benefits of its direct carrier billing platform to merchants who require a global roll-out with the same consistency, simplicity and speed payvia provides to customers in the US.
Darcy Wedd, President, payvia, commented: "MACH shares our view that carrier billing offers unique benefits over other mobile payment technologies and the company's heritage in delivering frictionless payments for major application stores and merchants makes them an ideal partner for us. Direct operator billing offers a superior checkout on the mobile device and boosts the mobile ecosystem through new revenue streams which is why we strongly believe it to be the payment model of the future."
Direct carrier billing for mobile applications, content and mobile internet services, allows providers to charge subscribers for services direct to their mobile phone bill or pre-paid balance. This creates a signficantly improved user-experience through the enhanced 'One-Click' purchase process and delivers greatly enhanced transaction completion rates. By removing the need for cumbersome Premium SMS or credit card payments, it increases the likelihood of customers continuing through to purchase.
About payvia
payvia is a leading mobile and online payments company that allows consumers to make simple and secure payments via their mobile phone. By connecting directly to the carrier network, payvia enables consumers to pay for digital goods and services using their mobile phone, adding purchases directly to their carrier bill.
payvia is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Seattle and Boston and is part of the m-Qube, Inc. group, the leading carrier billing transaction network, with a heritage that has seen nearly $2 billion paid out to merchants and developers. payvia is backed by leading investors Silver Lake Sumeru, Montgomery & Co., and Trinity Ventures. Visit us at www.usepayvia.com.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Chaos Thompson, Memphis Hat
North Star Bar
2639 Poplar St
Philadelphia, PA, 19130
This event is 21 and over
Chaos Thompson
Chaos Thompson are one of Pennsylvania's brightest young bands (and best kept secrets!) Having set out laying down sticky, funky grooves that people can move their bodies to... they have continued to do this ever since!
Having exploded onto the Pennsylvania funk fusion scene in 2011, Chaos Thompson are gratefully receiving bigger and better opportunities, including their first appearances in West Chester and Philadelphia. Their toxic grooves and funking awesome moves have been leaving filled dance floors in their wake, mesmerisingly and enticing their audiences into "getting their funk on!" With their sensational use of funky instrumentation, often fronted by what can only be described as a "lively and charismatic" vocalist.
Fans of the band however, know that the Chaos Thompson experience can only be fully appreciated when enjoyed first hand: "manic", "energetic" and "downright Chaotic", their unique, electrifying performances make them a funk troupe to look out for in 2013.
The Snapper- "Chaos Thompson.. consistently bring the house down with their ultra-danceable, sticky jams" and "their dedication and professionalism shines through in their music".
Memphis Hat
Memphis Hat got their start in State College, PA in 2009, and has been growing, changing and developing its own brand of Jam/Blues/Rock music ever since. Influenced by a variety of Classic Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk and Alternative Rock bands, Memphis Hat has established themselves on and off the Penn State Campus at bars, parties and small festivals. Through the creative song writing skills and soulful guitar licks of JD Dronson and Matt McGovern, and the thunderous rhythms of Rory Flynn and Steve Clarke, Memphis Hat has been impressing audiences and growing their fan base everywhere they've played.

Jets Thorburn believes winning key to getting fan base back
Chris Thorburn understands full well hockey fans may be angry and vocal when the National Hockey League returns to business sometime next week.
But the Winnipeg Jets winger, who returned to the city late Monday and was on the ice with a handful of his teammates this morning, also knows the most-effective way to win back their hearts is this:
"There's been mixed reactions throughout the fan base. We're going to go out and try and win them back," Thorburn said today at MTS Iceplex. "They deserve to have their opinion, but at the same time as players it's our job to get them back whether it's in the community or on the ice. That's our goal going forward this season.
"Jets fans are pretty loyal and hopefully the arena packed. There's a lot of positives out there for the season to get going. Our main objective is to go play hockey and get some wins here early and hopefully get the fan base back."
Thorburn spent much of his offseason with his family at his home in Atlanta, where he played with the Thrashers for four seasons. But in the fall he sold his home and moved his family to Michigan, where he worked out with members of his old Ontario Hockey League team in Saginaw.
"It was crazy... I put my house up for sale. There was a ton going on with myself and my family," said Thorburn. "But it's good. We got it out of the way and now it's good. Now it's just hockey. We got all the hard stuff out of the way and we're excited to get back to Winnipeg here and just relax and let me play hockey.
"It was tough (saying farewell to Atlanta. My kid was born there and we had a lot of ties there. But at the same time it was time to move on and be closer to family and Michigan brings that. We're excited about the changes."
Thorburn joined Jet captain Andrew Ladd, who just returned from B.C., along with Olli Jokinen, Toby Enstrom, Jim Slater and Bryan Little at the Iceplex this morning. More and more Jets are expected to arrive in the next few days with an anticipated opening of main training camp on Saturday or Sunday.
The NHL won't release camp dates and the schedule until after the new collective-bargaining agreement is ratified, but speculation has the Jets opening at home on Saturday Jan. 19th.

band joist and block webs
I am going to have closed cell durafoam sprayed on already framed walls 2 x 4. Should the foam cover the open webs on my block that are exposed? also if some of the studs are only 1/4 inch off block will that create a problem
The webs on concrete blocks are the solid part of the block.
If you're asking should the polyurethane spray cover part of the block as well as the sill plate and joist ends, "yes." The foam will also fill up the space between the existing framing and the concrete wall.
Filling the voids in concrete blocks doesn't do much for energy efficiency. (See link.)
Here is a link that might be useful: Insulated blocks
I already had fg insulation up and drywall and found condensation. Tore it all out down to the framing and having it sprayed. my concern is some of my studs are only 1/4 inch off of cinder block wall. will they be able to get enough spray behind them to do the trick?
I plan on cutting blocks of foam board to put in the tops of the exposed block that the sill plate sits on,that way the guy can spray a continuous coverage from the top of the band joist down over the sill over top of the block and down the wall between the framing.any way i can talk to you worthy

It's All Politics, May 16, 2013
By editor
NPR's Ron Elving and National Political Correspondent Mara Liasson, sitting in for Ken Rudin, look back at the week of scandals rocking the Obama administration. The president says he's angry and fires the IRS chief for the agency's targeting of groups with names that include "Tea Party" and "patriot" for extra scrutiny. And Attorney General Eric Holder is back on Capitol Hill, this time testifying on the Justice Department's seizing of phone records of journalists.

Cafe was funny. Music was cool,but staff were too slow, they were kind. We tried cakes and coffie, they are okey, if you desire to try different atmosphere,you can try.
A nice and cosy place. No latin alphabet street sign outside, that we hardly found it. We tried peach tart and it was very delicous. But the service was very slow and not smiling.
This Cafe has the best cakes of Batumi. Every day they have fresh and delicious cakes. The atmosphere is warm, just a little uncomfortable chairs and armchairs. Also the service is a little bit slowly. But if you want to eat relay good cakes, you should visit the Kafe Literaturuli.
The atmosphere itself is nice (location, interior) but... The waiters need 10 minutes to notice you in a half empty cafe. Spinach soup offered in menu was missing. Spinach pie too. We ordered coffee with milk but got black coffee, being forced to remind about milk. We got salad, neither salt nor pepper offered. None of our 3 mobile devices...
This is a lovely cafe with friendly staff nice food and marvelous cakes and they have awesome wifi. I was here with a former Peace Corps volunteer who liked the quiet cozy atmosphere and affordable prices. It's the perfect place to write a post card and work.
The cakes are very nice and the coffee is proper Italian Lavazza. Smoky atmosphere inside and no guarantee you get away from smokers outside either. Service could be friendlier towards obvious tourists - I get the impression they take their reputation for granted - not bothered whether they impress or not - very common attitude in Georgia.
So, this is a typical cafe but I think the biggest draw is the selection of desserts. Sitting outside is nice if you aren't right next to a table of smokers. Inside was way too stuffy (I'm sure it's even worse when it gets really hot!). I recommend the cake with raspberries - it was moist and tasty. I had...
It is certainly a place for tourists. Prices are higher than in ordinary Georgian eateries. They charge 9 GEL for a typical Georgian vegetable salad while you pay 3-4 GEL in other places. Very smoke-y inside. Average cakes. Average coffee.
Not only is the food delicious but there are some great books you can read while enjoying the fantastic drinks
I enjoyed the desserts - especially nut cake, "iris" cake and cherry tart but as autumn came and outdoor terrace closed, sitting inside is a nightmare due to smoking guests - even 10 mins snokes you through/ Albeit its a common problem for all Georgian restaurants, in this cafe its almost intolerable.
So ffod is good, but smoke kills all

Permit Question
Last month, I bought a small, run-down, one-story cottage (1100 sq. ft. total, 900 sq. ft. living) built in the 1840's. A carpenter agreed to level the house (one sill needs replacing), but asked that I have the electricity turned on first. So I contacted a local electrician; he made the necessary updates (very minor) and filed a permit with the city. This morning I received a call from the electrician who told me that the city's electrical inspector saw the house and will not allow the electricity to be turned on (even though the wiring is okay), and that he was going to report me to the building code department for violations because he saw that the house is structurally unsound. Why am I being reported? I haven't started any renovations; I applied for the appropriate permit; and I can't start the renovation without electricity. How do people normally start the renovation of a property in poor condition? (And by the way, I happen to have a report from a structural engineer certifying that the house is structurally sound--I needed the report to get insurance and a mortgage!)
That's a good idea. I've never undertaken a project like this before; I guess I should have applied for a building permit first, and an electrical permit second. The contractor didn't want to deal with leveling which is why I hired the carpenter separately. I hope I don't have to pay a fine.
You probably won't have to pay a fine if you haven't started work, but you def. need to pay the officials a visit. They are used to people who routinely blow off polite warnings so they probably just use the big guns from the start.
One possible solution would be to arrange with the power company to set up an external power drop similar to a house under construction. You've probably seen this sort of thing, it's sort of a meter on an external post out in the yard. You can run leads into the house for power equipment and necessary stand lights in the beginning. It will require another visit from the electrician to make a proper connection to the house when you've got things squared away enough to handle direct connection of the house to the grid. But it's not a big deal.

With their own boat catching most of the fish you can not be wrong getting some seafood over there
The view is fantastic their other location ostalapia is as good but with a view of the mountain and not the ocean in st jean de luz
This restaurant has it's own fishing boat so the fish served is extremely fresh and tasty. The view over the bay is very scenic. Maybe it is because of the touristic season, but clearly they don't have enough staff to cater for the large number of tables they have. We had to wait one hour between starters and mains.
Outdoor seating with view of atlantic ocean is breath-taking. The food is outstanding no matter what is eaten. The most famous local food is "merlu" and all of the fish is bought at the early morning fish market directly from fishermen. I had turbot for 25€ and it was so much better than any fish you can have anywhere. The...
Hard to find but well worth the effort. Specialises in sea food and everything is freshly cooked and presented well. Staff are very friendly and help with translating the menu, some of which is written in Basquais.
Fantastic setting, panoramic view, relaxed atmospere and really fresh food, simple but very well prepared. Service could be a bit quicker though.
Eaten here a few times winter and summer. Good atmosphere, relaxed, modern, and informal.
Service has always been good, friendly, and quick, really helps if your French is good, but they will always try to find someone to help with translation if you need it.
Situated with a super sea view, ideal for watching the sun go down.

I would give this restaurant a mixed review...the staff, setting and the place itself were first class! A late September evening sitting outside watching the sun go down, when you then need at least a sweater, was idyllic.

We went as a group of 9, and they did very well to accomodate all of us. The food was excellent and the service was very good. The waiters spoke English which was very helpful. We would definitley return!
Unfortunately we were only able to sample one course at this restaurant. We arrived at 8:00pm, decided to skip the starter and just have a main course. This arrived at 9:10. Not bad, but not really top notch. By 10:00pm the plates had not been cleared. Our waitress seemed to have disappeared. So we gave up and went home.

Prob buying a whirlpool duet duo - any last comments?
Time is up: need to buy my washer/dryer. Before I buy, anyone has any last comments before I buy the Whirlppol Duet duo?
We had a set from 2006, I never really liked them. They were in a narrow, hall like laundry room between the house and garage, no room to leave the washer door open to dry. We switched to Maytag Bravos XL, which I love. We gave the Whirlpool Duet set with matching pedestals to my son 2 years ago and he loves them, but he has room in his laundry area to keep the door open when not in use. They both perform well for him with no repairs.
The Duets with the bowed out front and the removable lower access panel were the ones made in Schorndorf, Germany - about two hours south of where I live. The Whirlpool shut the factory down in 2012. Most, if not all, of the current washers are now made in the US.
Here is a link that might be useful: Whirlpool in Clyde, Ohio

Source: Development Corporation of Knox County and city of Knoxville
Knox County development officials admit that their understanding of tax-increment financing has been behind the curve, but if the critical eye turned toward the latest round of TIF requests is any clue, they say, they're learning how ask the right questions.
Namely, members of the county's Industrial Development Board said they still need guidance from elected officials as to how a private developer's request for the public assistance stacks up in the larger scheme of county priorities.
"It is impossible for the IDB to know what the county's priorities are, and it is not their job to set the county's priorities," said Mike Edwards, president and CEO of the Development Corporation of Knox County, which provides staff support to the all-volunteer IDB. "We needed some guiding principles. Then we can look at it and understand why (county elected officials) are recommending it to us to consider."
Developer Tim Graham's application for a $5 million, 15-year TIF on his planned shopping center in Halls is likely to be the next request to come before the county's Industrial Development Board. The board's application review committee, however, already has recommended that the project be denied.
The committee likewise recommended against the request for a $1.04 million, 10-year TIF to a Hardin Valley retail project being built by developer Gary Higgins, who subsequently withdrew his application ahead of the IBD's next meeting today, citing "the current political climate." Graham has requested a postponement of his request on today's agenda.
"We were not really prepared in our full understanding," said the county's IDB chairwoman, Suzanne Schriver, referring to the previous two TIF requests the board approved prior to adopting a formal set of policies and procedures in June. "All these questions started coming up, and we really needed to go to school on TIFs."
Under the county's new procedures, the application process begins with the IDB, which forwards its preliminary analysis to the county mayor and Knox County Commission for evaluation of its potential public benefit. If it's deemed worthwhile, the application is sent back for further economic analysis by the IDB, where it can be denied or recommended to County Commission for final approval.
In both the Graham and Higgins cases, the requested TIFs would dedicate a portion of the appreciated property tax revenues from the projects to offset the cost of related road improvements.
Traditionally, retail and commercial developers have been required to foot the expense of any on-site and off-site costs. And state law was expanded only within the last few years to allow such projects to be eligible for TIFs, which previously were restricted to the redevelopment of blighted areas.
An important hurdle in deciding any TIF is the "but-for" standard, which asks whether the project would stall, but for the assistance of the TIF.
Higgins told IDB members last month that his Hardin Valley project could proceed with or without the TIF, although without it he won't be able to pay for the extension of Campbell Station Road north of Hardin Valley Road.
Graham, on the other hand, said his development, to be anchored by a Lowe's Home Improvement Center, cannot proceed without significant TIF support for a new connector road between Maynardville Highway and Emory Road, a widening of Quarry Road and the relocation of Willow Fork Creek.
Graham's attorney, Mark Mamantov, said the IDB's earlier concerns were valid and he's now making several revisions to the original request, which might send the proposal back to the board's application committee for another look.
"Whether it's approved or not approved, I think this is a good exercise for the county in the best use of TIFs," Mamantov said. "Unless we can demonstrate this is in the financial best interest of the county, they're not going to approve. I trust the process - these are reasonable people. I just don't know what our chances are."
Shifting the burden of funding those road improvements from the private to the public sector could set a dangerous precedent, Edwards has warned, especially for the sake of a retail project in an area already targeted by retailers. If the development is coming regardless, he explained, the added property taxes could help fund any number of other public infrastructure needs in the county.
Schriver added, "You really need to make sure you really, really need it. Keeping the reigns tight on these things can preserve a budget."
In the city of Knoxville, where TIFs have been used primarily to redevelop blighted properties in the downtown core - an established priority in Mayor Bill Haslam's administration - third-party, independent bankers are used to assess the financial necessity of a TIF request, or to "test the assumptions," explained Bill Lyons, the city's senior director of policy.
"The but-for is an economic decision," Lyons said. "We have to do the due diligence. We don't want anyone to think they're a given, or an entitlement."
The city has granted 13 TIFs since 2004, all of them within redevelopment areas established by Knoxville's Community Development Corp. Most of the evaluation process is handled internally by the mayor's office, which takes the initial applications, before forwarding them for final approval by City Council.
Economics is not the only deciding factor, however, Lyons said.
"It's still got to be in the public's best interest for it to happen," Lyons said. "We have to make that argument besides, well, without it, it won't happen. And the public's interest is a decision that needs to be made in the governmental/political arena. We're the gatekeeper."
The use of TIFs has been less common in surrounding counties.
Matt Murray, a University of Tennessee economics professor and chairman of the Blount County Industrial Development Board, said his county has yet to use the development tool.
He emphasized the general importance, however, of weighing a private developer's request for any assistance, including payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, against long-term development goals.
"You really need to be trying to fundamentally change the community," Murray said. "It needs to fit with a community's independent vision of where they want to be in the future. These projects affect a community over decades - they literally will affect our grandchildren."
Knox County IDB member John Valliant echoed the need for guidance from the county's elected leadership in reviewing TIF requests, saying that such decisions cannot be made in a vacuum.
"The mayor's office needs to be telling us if this is a high priority for them, and if the county can afford to do it," Valliant said, citing the application review committee's meeting last month.
County Mayor Mike Ragsdale had earlier signaled his support for the Halls retail project proposed by Graham, who contributed to the mayor's 2006 campaign.
Knox County's Director of Engineering and Public Works Bruce Wuethrich later told the IDB committee members, however, that the road improvements related to Graham's project are not on the county's short list of funding priorities. And county Finance Director John Troyer warned that available capital funds are tight.
"In the last meeting, they came in and did what they were supposed to do - they answered the questions," Valliant said. "If they did that every time a TIF came up, boy that sure would help."
Ragsdale could not be reached for comment Friday.
Schriver said, "Maybe we did a better job of asking the right questions that time. I think now that we're armed with that knowledge and framework, we're a lot better equipped … to handle TIF requests from all angles."
