Hi all
How are you? I hope you are all happy, healthy, sane and sober!
Well, as suggested, I am going to share my day with you.
I woke up this morning to some continued medical problems, that were getting worse. I was doing all I could...actually, to be totally honest, I was being a stubborn brat....trying to avoid the hospital. Then I realized that my air conditioner was broken.
Now, it was 116 out yesterday...and its only going to be worse today. So of course I had to do something about it.
My dog...some of you may remember he had a minor procedure done a couple weeks ago. Well he healed from that, but then friday ended up breaking his back paws! So he cant go outside to cool off in the pool cause he cant get wet. So even though it felt better outside cause of the breeze...that wasnt an option.
Well, I called to have the AC company come out. Then I started...yep you guessed it...a pity party.
I didnt want my moms help, I just wanted to cry. I kept telling myself 'Hell, I have been sober 41 days and all this s@@@ has happened to me and it didnt happen when I was drinking...what the hell?' That was just some of what I was thinking.
I also am not working this week...so...my job is such, no work, no $$.
See...all of this revolved around money..and the stress of my medical stuff. I was using every possible thing I could to avoid the hospital.
There is someone who I love dearly, and I respect, admire and trust whole heartedly...I called him.
He was very understanding, and patient, and kind. He talked to me...I wont get into all of what was said...but I realized that life doesnt revolve around me...and get this...God (or HP) is NOT out to punish me!!!! Its a novel idea I tell ya. But once you can wrap you head around that...everything else seems to get easier.
My phone call was, what I thought to be, rudely interrupted by the AC man showing up EARLY!!!
Naturally I needed to replace the whole unit. Before I get to that, let me also tell you this...suddenly...I kid you not, my medical issues...just stopped! It was amazing because they have never done that on their own.
Now the AC guy came in to talk about options and what not. I had him talk to my mom because I decided at this point in time, I need that kind of assistance from her. The new unit is $7200. So after all that was said and done....he asked me "how long do you have?" and then proceeded to pull out my BB out from under another book. I told him '41 days today'. He said "great. I was 4 years as of Friday" He also proceeded to tell me that he saw it (mind you, it doesnt have the cover on it...its just the blue book) when he 1st walked in.
He gave a 4K discount of the unit. Isnt charging for labor, gave a temp motor to last till Saturday when the new unit can be put in, and then gave me a free 4 yr membership for my yearly maintenance.
He sat with me, and talked. Read some things to me from my BB. He told me he prayed for me this morning. I was confused. He said he prayed that he meets someone today that he can help. I wasnt suppose to have a problem, but I did, and I was his 1st visit!!!
He also gave me the phone number of a lady who does an all womens meeting...every monday night...and its not at an AA location. Its at different peoples houses each week!
He helped me so much. But he hugged me and thanked me for helping him!!!
See amazing wonderful things happen...and they do only get better.
I feel like my dear friend that I talked to this morning helped me to at least be able to get to the point to have an open mind and see the other side.
I called my friend back and gave him the update. I was in such a better mood.
Stress is a trigger for me. But...I know that I have lots of people that love me and want to help me. I just need to be willing to let them. My mom helped me, the AC guy helped me...and my friend helped me. He gave me strength and courage and peace to face, what I thought for sure was going to be a day of hell.
I can get through it...may not get through it the way I think I should..but I will get through it the way I am suppose to.
Thank you for letting me share

Maintaining Separation
One of the most effective ways leading landscape contractors have differentiated themselves from the competition is by becoming full-service providers. But what if you're purely a lawn maintenance contractor? How do you set yourself apart from the myriad of commercial cutters operating in your market?
The answer is this: No matter how big you are or how long you've been in business, the rules have changed. It's not business as usual, thanks in large part to an economy that has crowded the maintenance market with competitors from all walks of life, putting incredible down pressure on pricing. Remaining competitive in maintenance today requires a fair degree of flexibility, creativity and discipline, along with communication skills that are second to none.
"The industry has changed over the years," says Maria Candler, CLP, president of James River Grounds Management in Glen Allen, VA. "Expectations are higher. Quality, once a point of difference, is now a requisite if one is to successfully compete. Our customers expect quality. A company differentiates itself by the way it communicates and interacts with property managers and other customers. This is still a people business, despite the economic conditions."
Bill Leidecker, CLP, owner of Five Seasons Landscape Management in Reynoldsburg, OH, agrees. "In our niche, working with Homeowner Associations (HOA's) and condominium boards, it's all about building relationships with property managers and making presentations to boards."
Leidecker, whose company has between 25 and 30 maintenance crews and employs upwards of 150 people, also notes that price has become more of factor in recent months. "We've always had to be competitive with our prices, but today you can get surprised by a long-time client who accepts a bid that is 30-40% below what he has been paying for years. Relationships can only go so far in today's economy."
According to Tom Oyler, principal of Wilson-Oyler Group, separating your maintenance company from the competition takes on another dimension during a down economy, especially when construction contractors and big maintenance competitors are looking at landscape projects of just about any size.
"You have to separate yourself from the competition by outthinking them," emphasizes Oyler, a former landscape contractor. "You have to analyze your market segment and your customers' pain, and adjust your pricing and service offering accordingly. Maybe you can help out a customer by adjusting your monthly billing (short of reducing your price of course) or by offering a different level of service. If you decide that you have to lower your price to compete, you will also have to adjust your overhead to retain margins."
Good mentoring is important as well, Oyler adds. "Talk with people who have foresight into market condition, and pay attention to real estate market trends. It's very important to determine if current market conditions will be fleeting or long-lasting. Cutting costs, which is actually reducing your investment in customers and your business, will likely be necessary in a long recession. In a short-lived downturn, it's best to avoid making any radical changes."
For one of the first times in his company's history, Bob Walker, president of Dependable Lawn Care in Oak Lawn, IL, says he is being asked to back off a bit on service to save clients money. "In essence, we're now put in a position to find a happy medium between price and service level for our customers," says Walker, who has been in the maintenance business for 25 years.
"Last year, we picked up new client who changed from a low-cost service provider to us," Walker relates. "But our contact person left this year, and his replacement intended to shop around the project for low bids. After we explained the project's history to him, he agreed to continue to do business with us, but asked for a scaled-down maintenance program. The bottom line is that we still have the job, but we're not offering quite as many services."
In Martinez, CA, American Civil Constructors (ACC) general manager Bill Horn, CLP, CLT, emphasizes how important it is to be proactive with communication. "You can't wait for a client to call—you have to call them first," he points out. "Especially in today's very competitive environment, you want to make that call before a competitor does. Ask clients what you can do for them. It may just be a matter of reassuring them that you'll hold your price, or they may ask for a new price point. If it's the latter, find creative ways to reduce costs without sacrificing the dignity of a property.
"Maybe you can put some detail work or planned new enhancements on the back burner and create more efficiencies," Horn continues. "This is when it pays to have experienced people working for you. Remember, in our line of work, it's all about labor and customer service. And now more than ever it's also about the willingness to adapt to new market conditions."
Being flexible doesn't just apply to the commercial market, Walker adds. Nearly 60% of his total revenue comes from maintaining homes. "On the residential side, we've been providing weekly maintenance service and a five-part lawn care program for several years. But now we're reassessing this approach in light of the new reality. We're seriously considering offering an every-other-week mowing service for customers during the slower-growing summer season. For our lawn care customers, we may offer a three- or four-part program alternative. We would have to raise the price for each mowing or application by 25% or more to offset lost revenue, and our customers would have to be willing to put up with a few more weeds."
Troy Davis, owner of True Care Landscape Maintenance in Los Lunas, NM, was in the landscape installation business for 24 years. Then, last March, he decided it was time to shift gears and start taking care of the properties he had installed. He now has 16 residential maintenance customers.
"I'm different from the normal maintenance contractor," Davis notes. "Over the years, I've watched literally dozens of maintenance companies operate on site. For the most part, it's all about time and how efficient crews can be on a property, but they forget about the details. I think what separates me from the competition is exactly that: the details. I'll pick up sticks and other debris from lawns, rake the gravel and check on the irrigation system. I'll take time to walk every property before I mow, and even stop mowing to remove an elm tree or other unwanted plant material growing up through a bush."
Despite the economy today, Davis says it's not always all about the money. "If you do a good job and take care of your customers' properties, your customers will take of you. It's not about maintenance, it's about people."
Despite the changing rules, some of the fundamentals about being successful in maintenance still apply. "One of my suggestions for anyone getting into maintenance is to do one thing and do it well," says Roscoe Klausing, CLP, president of Klausing Group in Lexington, KY.
"Focus on commercial or focus on residential," Klausing adds. "In our market, you will find residential contractors dabbling in the commercial market, but it's not their strength, and it shows. On the other hand, our company is strictly commercial and we have no desire to get into the residential market. The two animals are completely different in terms of both service and customer expectations."
Klausing says business looks to be holding up so far this year, but his company motto for '09 is "proceed with caution." This approach includes a tight rein on capital spending, along with marketing his company's strengths.
"In recent years, we've abandoned using colorful marketing pieces in favor of developing our website," Klausing explains. "Having a presence on the Internet is important, but we've found that not having a four-color newsletter, marketing brochure and other collateral material has hurt our business."
Klausing wants to be able to put images of his company's work and remarks about its strengths right in the decision-makers' hands. Among strengths (and points of difference), he includes the availability of his staff to answer customer requests and questions, along with the understanding of how his customers want to communicate, whether it be via email, mail, fax, or phone. Klausing is also taking advantage of modern technology by being able to scan and email contracts. "Since property managers are accustomed to doing business that way with other clients, we should be on board too," he adds.
Education can work to separate one contractor from another. Every member of Klausing's four-person management team has either a CLP or CLT after his name or an advanced degree in horticulture. "It's one thing for account managers to understand production techniques and strategies," he says. "It's another for them to understand horticulture." Understanding some of the science behind growing and maintaining plant material can be a real advantage," Klausing emphasizes.
Creating other points of difference—such as maintaining sustainable landscapes or providing turf renovation services—can also give maintenance contractors a distinct advantage in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
But at the end of the day, quality and service are what matter most. Sharpening your communication skills, focusing on the details and remaining flexible will help you meet the standard of what quality service in today's landscape industry really is.

Digital Camcorder
Took me days and two others in order to get the battery door open in the first place.
Frequently enjoying a fun summer activity known as "tubing" here, I had taken to purchasing one of those disposable, waterproof cameras for each trip. The drawbacks to that are the cost of the camera, the fact that you had to actually take (or were limited to) the number of exposures in the camera, taking the camera to get the film developed & the added cost thereof, waiting for your photos... This camera will show a savings by our next tubing expedition. The quality of the photos are comparable, if not better than, those taken with the disposable cameras with the added benefit of accessing your photos as soon as you can get to a computer. Had a bit of trouble getting into the battery compartment - slide the grey button and slide the battery cover panel out, the cover will then flip open. Most reviews spoke of using 4 GB or 8 GB cards - I used a 16 and bumped all the settings for the photos to the highest quality.
Battery life is way too short. I like using standard batteries instead of having to recharge a camera battery- you're not always near electricity or have time fore a recharge. I've had other cameras that use AAA batteries that have a much longer battery life.
Pros - Great price, <$***. performance reasonable when related to price - Very easy to operate (less buttoms but quite meet needs) Cons - not very clear images (partially due to the difficulties of taking photos underwater - batteries exhausted easily
thank overstock i would shop here again my family love it we take pics all day long

does this mean we might finally see transcoding software that utilises not only the CPU but also the GPU, therefore decreasing transcoding time?
Phoronix: AMD Stream SDK Coming To Linux Soon
NVIDIA has long supported their CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology on Linux for allowing general-purpose code algorithms to be executed on the graphics processor, while AMD and their Stream Computing support has been absent on Linux. AMD has only been supporting their Stream SDK on Windows XP, but this morning we have confirmation that the Software Development Kit will be released for Linux in the coming days...
does this mean we might finally see transcoding software that utilises not only the CPU but also the GPU, therefore decreasing transcoding time?
The link to the Folding@home high performance FAQ should actually point here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-highperformance since the linked version is no longer maintained.
Anyone got questions for AMD about their Stream SDK on Linux? I should be able to setup a Q&A.
How much of it will be "open" and how much will be a binary blob?
* When is the exact date of a linux GPU2 folding@home client release?
* Will future releases of the SDK be released in sync with windows revisions?
* Will the SDK enable developers to utilize multiple DIFFERENT r600 and future r700 cards in GPGPU software - i.e. an 2600pro, a 3870 and an r700
Question bump... Looks like Michael Chu will do a Q&A.
looks like not many people have questions.
Michael: perhaps you'd be better off starting a thread requesting questions over at beyond3d.com forums GPGPU subsection - I'm sure they'll definitely think up interesting topics for Mr. Chu ... n it would produce a more interesting q & a imo...
What sets the R600 apart from the older generations in being able to do Stream Computing? Will a port for the older generations be possible?
OK, I got a question or two.
Other than folding@home and other highly distributed workloads, what applications are likely to be able to benefit from the Stream SDK?
Won't enabling this API require a new kernel module? Or will it go through the existing kernel modules? (I use nvidia so I'm not sure exactly how AMD does their graphics drivers.)
How does the linux performance of Stream SDK compare to CUDA?

RATINGS: 688 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.75 SEASONAL: Series IBU: 85 EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Weve been loving creating Collaboration beers with great creative brewers from all over the world these last several years-unique beers that would never have existed without the free-flowing imagination and idea generation of the collaborative process. However, when it comes to the Stone Anniversary Ales, its all us. Yet, it is indeed still a collaboration with great creative brewers (if we do say so ourselves). Were talking about our own brewing team, of course. And while some of our beers, anniversary and otherwise, have been designed by a single person, the Stone 16th Anniversary IPA was definitely a team effort. This year our brewing team was inspired by some exotic-ish additions of the lemony persuasion. Yes, its a Double IPA (can you really say youre surprised?), but as we strive to do with all our Stone Anniversary Ales of the lets-take-this-IPA-in-a-new-direction variety, weve brewed up a Stone-worthy divergence from tradition. The amount of rye malt we used isnt quite enough to warrant the appellation "Rye IPA," but it still adds hints of spiciness that contrast deliciously with the tropical fruit flavors and aromas of the Amarillo and Calypso hops. Add a few European specialty malts, some lemon verbena, and three more hop varieties to the mix, and you have a highly complex brew melding both bitter and fruity hop notes with rich toasted malt character punctuated by nuances of spicy rye and subtle lemon.

Ministry of Magic lifts | |
Object information | |
Manufacturer | |
Usage |
To get from one floor of the Ministry to another. |
Owners |
Lifts are the main way of moving between the levels of the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic. They are fat, vertical mode of transportation that efficiently moves people or goods between floors or levels of a building. They are located at the far end of the Atrium hall, on Level 8 of the Ministry, being behind a pair of golden gates. Behind these gates in a smaller hall with at least twenty lifts standing behind wrought golden grilles. When the lift reaches a floor, a voice announces the department residing on that level and then what subdivisions are part of that department.
Prior to Lord Voldemort's take-over of the Ministry, there was an attendant within each lift from Magical Maintenance, to ensure everything went smoothly. In addition to people, interdepartmental memos enter the lift to relay messages between people from different letters. They are in the form of pale violet-coloured paper aeroplanes; the Ministry previously used owls but the mess became too much to bear. Despite the lifts descending deeper into the ground, Magical Maintenance enchants the windows to decide what weather they have each day. There are also gold ropes hanging from the ceiling for passengers to hang onto when the lifts go sideways, backwards, or stop violently.
[show]Harry's usageEdit
In the summer of 1995, Harry went to the Ministry with Arthur Weasley to be escorted to his trial before the Wizengamot for use of underage magic. He entered the Atrium, and after having his wand checked at the Security Desk he headed for the lifts. They first ascended the lifts from Level 8 to Level 7 (the voice announced Department of Magical Games and Sports, incorporating the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, Official Gobstones Club, and Ludicrous Patents Office), in which Harry saw an untidy looking corridor with various posters of Quidditch teams tacked lopsidedly on the walls before the lift doors closed. They then brought him to Level 6, the Department of Magical Transport, incorporating the Floo Network Authority, Broom Regulatory Control, Portkey Office, and Apparation Test Centre. It was here that several interdepartmental memos zoomed in.
The lift then stopped at Level 5, and the voice announced that the floor was the Department of International Magical Cooperation, incorporating the International Magical Trading Standards Body, the International Magical Office of Law, and the International Confederation of Wizards, British Seats. When the doors opened, two of the memos flew out but several more came in. The lift than stopped at Level 4, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, incorporating Beast, Being, and Spirit Divisions, Goblin Liaison Office, and the Pest Advisory Bureau. When the lift reached Level 3, the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, incorporating the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, Obliviator Headquarters, and Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee, the only people in the lift were Harry, Arthur, and a witch reading a long piece of parchment. The lift then reached Level 2, Department of Magical Law Enforcement, incorporating the Improper Use of Magic Office, Auror Headquarters, and Wizengamot Administration Services, and Harry and Arthur got off the lift at this floor.
During Harry's infiltration of the Ministry, he, Ron, and Hermione used the lifts to get from the Atrium to Umbridge's office on Level 1, Yaxley's office on Level 2, and the Courtrooms of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission.Behind the scenesEdit
- The Ministry of Magic lift voice was provided by Daisy Haggard.
- To readers of the American editions, a lift is more commonly referred to as an elevator.

The New School for Social Research
The New School > The New School for Social Research NSSR > Reading Foucault
Apply Online | Contact
Through a close reading of one major text, Madness and Civilization, this
seminar explores the problem of how to enter the imaginative universe of
a literary and philosophical work. Using essays by Jean Starobinski and
Borges as signposts, we begin by reading the (abridged) English translation
of Foucault's masterpiece straight through. Afterwards, we briefly compare
one recent historiographic account of madness to that of Foucault's book.
By raising doubts about Foucault's concern for empirical accuracy, we raise
questions about the philosophical and literary subtexts of his work. In
order to clarify, we also read several contemporary essays by Foucault (on
Binswanger, and on the madness of Hoelderlin), and discuss literature and
art implicitly or explicitly aluded to in Madness and Civilization, including
Plato's Phaedrus, Erasmus' In Praise of Folly, Diderot's Rameau's Nephew,
Sade's Justine, Nerval's Aurelia, Nietzsche's Ecce Homo, essays by Andre
Breton and Antonin Artaud, and paintings by Bosch, Goya, and Van
Gogh. Finally, we review some contemporary commentaries on Foucault by
Roland Barthes, Maurice Blanchot, and Jacques Derrida. At the end of the
course, we return to Madness and Civilization. Does the knowledge we have
acquired change our readings of Foucault's masterpiece?

Major Section: RULE-CLASSES
See rule-classes for a general discussion of rule classes and
how they are used to build rules from formulas. An example
formula from which a :refinement
rule might be built is:
Example: (implies (bag-equal x y) (set-equal y x)).Also see defrefinement.
General Form: (implies (equiv1 x y) (equiv2 x y))
and equiv2
must be known equivalence relations. The effect
of such a rule is to record that equiv1
is a refinement of equiv2
This means that equiv1
rules may be used while trying to
maintain equiv2
. See equivalence for a general discussion of
the issues.
The macro form (defrefinement equiv1 equiv2)
is an abbreviation for
a defthm
of rule-class :refinement
that establishes that equiv1
is a
refinement of equiv2
. See defrefinement.
Suppose we have the :
(bag-equal (append a b) (append b a))which states that
is commutative modulo bag-equality.
Suppose further we have established that bag-equality refines
set-equality. Then when we are simplifying append
expressions while
maintaining set-equality we use append
's commutativity property,
even though it was proved for bag-equality.
Equality is known to be a refinement of all equivalence relations.
The transitive closure of the refinement relation is maintained, so
if set-equality
, say, is shown to be a refinement of some third
sense of equivalence, then bag-equality
will automatially be known
as a refinement of that third equivalence.
lemmas cannot be disabled. That is, once one
equivalence relation has been shown to be a refinement of another,
there is no way to prevent the system from using that information.
Of course, individual :
rules can be disabled.
More will be written about this as we develop the techniques.

Our first-of-its-kind Greener Gadgets Conference took place yesterday in New York City, and was a smashing success! We were thrilled to get such a great and diverse line-up of speakers, representing not only business and industry, but also academia, non-profit, students, environmental activists and designers. Not only did we completely sell out of our tickets, but we got people turning out from a wide variety of different industries and backgrounds. THANK YOU so much to everyone who attended and was involved in making the whole event so interesting, fun and fabulous!

To read a thorough Inhabitat overview of the event, please read on >
Everyone has been asking about video of the conference and we are happy to announce that we have lots of short videos coming soon. We will be releasing short interview clips, as well as videos of each presentation over the next few weeks, so please check back with us if you missed something and want to watch it online.
PRESS COVERAGE OF GREENER GADGETS CONFERENCE So far we've seen interesting coverage of the event on CNET, Unbeige, PC Magazine, Treehugger, EcoGeek, Makezine, Wired News, Core77, AOL's Green Daily, Hearst's Daily Green, and PC Magazine's Gearlog, and SmartPlanet. We were particularly appreciative of Unbeige's thoughtful writeup, as well as the fact that the Wired News' Underwire noticed our attempts to make sure that all of the details of the event were as green as they could be. We put a lot of time and energy into that, so thanks for noticing!
The two organizers of the event, Marc Alt and yours truly, kicked off the day with a little background on why we started the conference and why we think that a discussion about environmental sustainability in gadgets is so important right now:
+ 400 million consumer electronics are discarded every year + E-waste is the fastest growing category of municipal waste + Electronics account for 25% of home electricity use + The 150 blllion dollar consumer electronics industry is one of the fastest growing industries on the planet
In order to break this overly complicated and complex issue down in manageable topics to discuss, we decided to focus on three elements of gadget sustainability: Materials and Life-Cycle, Energy, and Social Sustainability.
OPENING KEYNOTE: Digital Photographic Artist Chris Jordan Chris Jordan opened up the Greener Gadgets Conference with a compelling presentation of his photographic artwork. He showed many of his aesthetically beautiful yet disturbing digital images of electronic waste and plastic trash. Jordan attempts to "show the scale of mass consumption" through his artwork, turning those statistics that we so often read about into visual representations that pack more of an emotional punch than statistics ever can.
Chris Jordan closed his presentation by making the point that the electronics industry has a great potential to bring "coolness" to the green movement that it is currently lacking. He used Michael Jordan's iconic persona in basketball as an example and urged that the green movement needs a similar champion. Can green gadgets do for sustainability what Michael Jordan did for basketball? We're not sure, but it was an interesting and provocative point to start the day on.
+ Chris Jordan creates beauty from e-waste + Chris Jordan Running The Numbers
DESIGN KEYNOTE: Mary Lou Jepsen – One Laptop Per Child
Mary Lou Jepsen, the former Chief Technology Officer of The One Laptop Per Child Project, opened up her design keynote presentation by explaining the new sustainable technologies that are being used in the new XO laptop. The XO has received a lot of attention for being a groundbreaking educational tool, but what many people don't realize is that it is ALSO the greenest laptop ever created — mainly due to Mary Lou's innovations in laptop engineering. Because of this, it was fascinating to hear Mary Lou Jepsen talk about all of the innovative new green technologies that went into the development of the One Laptop Per Child XO laptop. A lot of these sustainable innovations in screen brightness, energy efficiency and portable mobile power were developed out of pure necessity for the way in which the laptops are intended to be used (outdoors by children in the sunlight).
Jepsen provoked the audience (many of whom were industrial designers), when she said: "If we rely on industrial designers to lead the green revolution in electronics and gadgets…we will fail." Jepsen's point was that engineering technology needs to be the real driver. She said that she started working on the XO after many people told her that it couldn't be done. She thought, "If people say it's impossible, that must be an interesting project, I'll do that."
We heard some heavy debating going on the halls between designers and engineers after Mary Lou's presentation, so clearly she riled some people up with her comments about technology versus industrial design. But we think her point was very astute, and it certainly gave us lots to talk about over the course of the day!
Jepsen is now working on PixelQi, a spinoff of OLPC. PixelQi is working on applying technology from the XO to other laptops and devices. The more that these components are produced, the less expensive those components will be for the XO. Mary Lou Jepsen's smart approach to business, technology, and sustainability is a great model for development.

Speakers: Jeff Omelchuck (EPEAT, Green Electronics Council), Rene St Denis (HP Product Takeback and Recycling), Grant Kristofek (Sustainability Champion, Continuum), David Conrad (Head of Environment for North America, Nokia), Andrew Dent (Vice President Materials & Director of Library, Material ConneXion), Douglas Smith (Director, Corporate Environment, Safety and Health, Sony)
ELECTRONICS MATERIALS & LIFECYCLE PANEL DISCUSSION: moderated by Jennifer Van Der Meer
The Materials and Lifecycle panel discussion was an interesting mix, with three people from the consumer electronics industry, (David Conrad from Nokia, Douglas Smith from Sony and Rene St Denis from HP), along with Andrew Dent from Material ConneXion, and Jeff Omelchuk from the nonprofit EPEAT. The main topic of the discussion was electronic recycling and reverse logistics, specifically how we should go about both receiving used electronics from consumers and then dismantling, disposing, and reusing materials from electronics.
Andrew raised an interesting question when he suggested that electronics manufacturers pursue a rental model, rather and an ownership model, so that the product's return is built into the process. Rene responded that HP does this with enterprise customers, but it's more difficult with personal computing consumers. Grant proposed a hybrid model, comparable to Netflix: you own the product and keep it as long as you want, and when you return it, you get a replacement.
Everyone seemed to agree that we need to provide more education to consumers, which would in turn lead to a shift in values and priorities. Rene aptly noted that the two groups that weren't represented in the panel: consumers and the government, both of whom are crucial to enacting the kind of change we need.
During the Q&A period, one audience member asked about why there isn't more standardization and modularization of components, which could allow end-users to upgrade their devices themselves. David Conrad admitted that this hasn't traditionally been the approach to development, but we at Inhabitat certainly think such flexibility is a great approach for consumer electronics manufacturers to pursue.
The main point of John's talk was that responsible design is smart business. He talked about how HP's approach to sustainable products can create a competitive advantage, bring in new customers, reduce costs, and build up a brand.
He also noted two commitments that HP has made in 2008: 1) All PCs will use 25% less energy by 2010, and 2) Change manufacturing process to use recycled content in new inkjet cartridges. We certainly appreciate HPs public declarations of their sustainability goals, and hope they keep pushing them. John also talked about power use, which emerged as the big topic of the day.
Valerie Casey of IDEO moderated the 'Energy Efficiency' panel discussion with Ryan Block (Editor-in-Chief, Engadget), Gregg Chason (VP Industry Affairs & Relations, Philips Consumer Lifestyle North America), Douglas Johnson (Senior Director, Tech Policy & International Affairs, CEA) and Allyson Klein (Manager, Server Tech and Software Strategy, Server Platform Group, Intel Corp).
The discussion ended up focussing mainly on how electronics companies can better communicate their product's sustainability, especially energy efficiency, so that consumers can make informed decisions. Ryan proposed a standardized labeling system, similar to the FDA's Nutrition Facts labels on food packaging. Valerie referred to EnergyStar products as being in a "bucket," where consumers both know neither how EnergyStar compliance is defined, nor how to distinguish extremely efficient products from less efficient ones.
Valerie also mentioned an Eco-Patents Commons between IBM, Sony, Nokia and others, where these companies share patents related to environmental responsibility, and such collaboration is crucial to greener gadget efforts.
During the Q&A session, Mary Lou Jepsen questioned Allyson about the power consumption of Intel's chips, since the team at OLPC has made some significant innovations in that arena. Mary Lou offered to work with Intel on such work, and Allyson said she'd love to talk with Mary Lou after the panel. It was a fun moment, and it's exactly what this conference is about!
PANEL DISCUSSION: Emerging Forms of Mobile Renewable Energy, Moderated by Katie Fehrenbacher
In this last panel of the day, we got a real look into the future. From MTI's micro fuel cell to Solio's portable solar charger, from the HYmini wind generator to M2E's kinetic energy charger that uses power generated by the movement of people walking around, the technology shown was really exciting.
Katie Fehrenbacher (Earth2Tech) asked what some barriers to mass adoption were, and a couple panelists mentioned battery efficiency. It was valuable that Christina from Boston Power was on the panel, as her company's efficient and environmentally responsible battery might provide some answers.
Regan from M2E also talked about the high degree of skepticism about kinetic energy-powered devices, but M2E uses magnets, and it works. We can't wait to see this amazing new technology in our cell phones!
CLOSING KEYNOTE: Inventor & Technoartist Natalie Jeremijenko We started the day with two keynotes: one with an artist and one with an innovator in education. This last keynote was given by Natalie Jeremijenko, who is an artist, an academic, an activist, and quite a bit more. It's hard to confine Natalie to any labels, because her inspiring work spans many disciplines.
Natalie talked about how she's looking for new ways to restructure manufacturing practices, which she calls "the most toxic of human activity." With her students, she developed How Stuff Is Made, a collection of visual essays on how different products are made.
Like Chris Jordan, Natalie is looking to make invisible data visible. She works with students to modify consumer-grade robotic toys to sniff out toxic waste. All of Natalie's work was really inspiring, and she's redefining how we use technology and interact with devices.
Stay tuned for the results of the Greener Gadgets Design Competition!

If Leopald Mac Ender really feels that you have a great idea to save the planet and just need money to realise it, why not try the virgin earth challenge? http://www.virginearth.com/
February 5, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I'm not exactly sure what Leo Mac Ender was trying to say, but I suspect it has something to do with how the great majority in the emerging "green" movement don't really seem all that interested in saving the world at all. Mostly, it seems, people are just hoping to feel better about how we're destroying it.
"Greener Gadgets"? Is that really any kind of answer? It reminds me of a statement by environmental sci-fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson in a recent interview where he stated that the term "sustainability" doesn't even mean sustainable any longer for most people. It means "let's continue to do what we're doing, but somehow get away with it".
It's just like how "organic" stopped being a movement and instead became merely a label. If "green" isn't a values-based system — if it's not fundamentally about leading a different way of life — then all we're doing is just whistling into the wind, aren't we?
February 4, 2008 at 5:31 am
This is very good and will someaday lead to somewhere somehow.
But HOW MANY have done something for real?
This is big words from me but I could save the world if I finde some group or Company who really understand what I have done and will be able to do in the future.
Floating POWERstations in ANY rivers in USA will take care of ALL Power for US, ALL power.
There is allso solutions so we do not have to use ANY gasoline or oil at all, ever.
I have surched people like AL GORE but they are yest turning arround and will do nothing at all about how to safe the world, they think that TALK will safe the world. .
I do not think talking people really like to safe the world from more pollutions, not at all.
I have the total solutions, welcom who ever it will be, to see that I´m not joking.
All the best to they who REALLY doing och like to do something.
If you are REALLY interested welcome to my world for saving the globe.
