Selvarasa Pathmanathan received a call on his mobile phone. He went out of the hotel room conversing. He did not return.
Sri Lanka's Cabinet spokesperson on defence affairs, Keheliya Rambukwella, announced at a special press conference on Friday that Selvarasa Pathmanathan alias "KP" was in military custody. He was arrested in an Asian country and flown to Colombo on the night of August 6. He was to be interrogated about the overseas operations of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Mr. Rambukwella stated.
The capture of the newly designated chief of the restructured LTTE has an air of mystery surrounding it. The man known as KP was at one time the organisation's chief arms procurer, heading what was known in the movement as the "KP department."
KP, who had generally maintained a low profile, grabbed a great deal of media attention in the aftermath of the decisive defeat suffered by the LTTE at the hands of the Sri Lankan armed forces. Tiger supremo Velupillai Prabakaran's death in May left the LTTE leaderless. With many senior leaders dead or in custody, KP, living in Thailand, was the senior-most LTTE leader "alive and free." From January 2009, he has been functioning as the LTTE's international relations head.
The military defeat and virtual demolition of the LTTE in Sri Lanka resulted in its overseas structure assuming greater importance. Tiger and pro-Tiger elements of the global Tamil Diaspora were now tasked with the responsibility of perpetuating Prabakaran's legacy.
KP's attempt to don the leadership mantle in a post-Prabakaran scenario was opposed by an influential Tiger cabal in the Diaspora. After protracted wrangling, a settlement was reached in July and KP assumed control of a revamped LTTE as "Thalaimai Seyalar" or chief secretary. Even as the ex-arms smuggler began consolidating his position, adversity struck in the form of his capture and transportation to Sri Lanka.
While there is no official version so far about how and where KP was arrested, many relevant details are available through diverse media sources. This has made it possible to piece together a picture of the incident.
The new LTTE chief, married to a Thai national, lived in suburban Bangkok. But he used to travel frequently to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to meet with various people. KP was in the Malaysian capital in August.
Around noon on August 5, he went to the "First Tune Hotels" at 316 Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman Road in the heart of Kuala Lumpur to meet two visitors from London. One of the British visitors was Balasingham Balendran, the younger brother of former LTTE political commissar Balasingham Mahendran alias Nadesan. The other person was Nadesan's own son who had gone to London some years ago and was staying with his paternal uncle.
While chatting in the hotel room, around 2 p.m. KP received a call on his mobile phone. He went out of the room conversing. He did not return. Worried, Balendran and nephew searched for him. But there was no sign of KP's vehicle, or its driver, Appu. Dayamohan, the friend who had called Pathmanathan, was also perturbed. KP had been talking to him when he heard a sudden 'thud.' There was a commotion of sorts and KP's phone went dead. Repeated calls by Dayamohan went unanswered as the mobile had been switched off.
News spread among the new LTTE chief's friends and aides in Kuala Lumpur that something was amiss. When some of them went to the place KP was staying in Kuala Lumpur, they found only his daughter there. Significantly, the insulin and syringes used by KP, who was a diabetic, were in the room.
Comparing notes, KP's colleagues and well-wishers were able to gauge the situation. Had the new LTTE leader been abducted or killed? From an LTTE perspective, the Sri Lankan officialdom was the prime suspect. But the hand of intelligence agencies of other countries was not ruled out.
The suspense ended the following day, August 6, when news of KP having been taken to Colombo broke. Apparently he and Appu were transported to Bangkok from Kuala Lumpur and then taken to Colombo on a chartered flight. They arrived after nightfall at the Katunayake airport and were whisked away to an undisclosed location. All speculation about KP's whereabouts ceased after the Cabinet spokesperson disclosed that he was in military custody and would be questioned.
In September 2007, there was much excitement in Sri Lanka when KP was detained by authorities in Thailand. It was expected that he would be deported to Sri Lanka or India. But the arrest was denied and KP was soon "free." But this time it was different.
Two elements
Two factors played a significant role in the new development.
First, much pressure was exerted by Sri Lanka on Malaysia over KP. Taking the stance that he was living in Malaysia, Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama made a request on May 29 to Malaysian Defence Minister Dr. Ahamd Zahid bin Hamidi YB Dato Seri to hand over KP to facilitate ongoing investigations into LTTE operations overseas. The appeal was made on the sidelines of the 8th Shangri-La Dialogue event held in Singapore in May 2009.
Secondly, Sri Lanka recently appointed Brigadier Udaya Perera as Deputy High Commissioner to Malaysia to meet the new threat posed by the LTTE. Subsequently, he was promoted Major-General. His main, yet unpublicised, assignment was "Operation KP."
In the public eye
A puzzling aspect of the drama was Pathmanathan's reckless disregard for safety. He had two warrants issued against him by Interpol, yet he was brazenly going about in public. He met with people openly, granted print, television, and radio interviews, wrote regularly in his own blog and engaged in telephone conversations on a global scale. This made him highly vulnerable as a target of law-enforcement officials.
The Sri Lankan government is extremely happy about the arrest. Any prospect of the residual LTTE having a resurgence has been effectively scuttled. Further interrogation of KP is likely to elicit important information about LTTE activity abroad.
President Rajapaksa's reputation has received a further boost. Not only was Prabakaran killed, his successor too has been captured. But despite the buoyant mood in the country, the Rajapaksa government is not boasting about its achievement. There are valid reasons for this.
Aid from other countries
Though the details are scanty, there are sufficient grounds to believe that Sri Lanka, with the aid of "intelligence officials" from other countries, accomplished the feat of seizing and transporting KP from Kula Lumpur to Colombo. It is assumed that the exercise amounted to an "extraordinary rendition" on the lines of what the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had been doing after 9/11. More details about "Operation KP" are likely to be revealed in the near future.
Against this backdrop, the capture of Pathmanathan has caused a great deal of excitement. Colombo is sensitive to any negative publicity over the incident but it also wants to avoid any embarrassment to the countries that helped Sri Lanka in this matter.
Pathmanathan, known as Tharmalingam Shanmugam Kumaran in India, had been proclaimed a wanted offender by Interpol. This was based on two warrants issued by India and Sri Lanka. India wanted Interpol to apprehend KP for interrogation on charges of criminal conspiracy, arms smuggling, violation of Indian terrorist and explosives laws, and for questioning over the 1991 assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
KP allegedly played a role in financing and providing arms, explosives, and communication equipment to the Rajiv Gandhi killers. It was KP who provided the RDX-and-C4-based suicide vest worn by the suicide bomber Dhanu and the AK-47 pistol and a Czech 9-mm pistol possessed by Sivarasan.

May 6, 2009 State DNR and Taylor Shellfish settle Totten Inlet disputeCostly legal action avoided with cooperative action
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Taylor Shellfish today announced that they have settled the dispute on Totten Inlet. The agreement, signed by both parties this morning, resolved ownership of the disputed tidelands, ownership and access to remaining shellfish product, and settled any issues regarding past use of the tidelands. This agreement allows the parties to move forward with a cooperative relationship in the future.
"This is a fair and equitable agreement for the people of the state of Washington," said Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark. "We will continue working with the shellfish growers in our state to ensure that this sustainable industry creates jobs and generates revenue for restoration projects in Puget Sound."
"This agreement is a win-win for both Taylor and the DNR. We are pleased with the outcome," said Bill Taylor, owner of Taylor Shellfish. "With this issue behind us we look forward to focusing on our operations, creating jobs, and stimulating our local economy with our business activities. Now more than ever working families need the types of jobs that Taylor provides."
Under the agreement, DNR will grant Taylor Shellfish two separate Rights of Entry to remove shellfish product. Oysters will be removed within six months and geoduck within five years. No lease will be issued and no oysters or geoduck will be replanted.
In turn, Taylor Shellfish will pay DNR $1.5 million over the next three years from the date the Right of Entry is signed and withdraw their current lawsuits with DNR over Totten Inlet. The agreement also grants quiet title of the state-owned aquatic lands and grants Taylor Shellfish quiet title to shellfish products on the state-owned aquatic land.
DNR is a steward of aquatic landsAs steward of the 2.6 million acres of state aquatic lands, DNR manages the bedlands under Puget Sound, the coast, many of Washington's beaches, and natural lakes and navigable rivers. DNR manages these lands not only to facilitate navigation, commerce, and public access, but also to ensure protection of aquatic habitat.
State-owned aquatic lands include:
Peter Goldmark, who administers the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, is Washington's 13th Commissioner of Public Lands since statehood in 1889 and the first commissioner from Eastern Washington.

"LILI!" Raz cried, grabbing her wrist and commencing to shake her by the shoulders, "Something wonderful, fantabulous and AWESOME to da Xtreme has happened! Bobby has gone missing! Me and the remaining kids are gonna throw a party."
Lili was about to say something in responce but Milla rished down with a pen and a few papers in hand, "Bobby? I don't mind much really, but this is nothelping in our defence against this Tammy Shafer person. Raz, Lili, if you don't mind, please take these items to these people waiting in the parking lot."
"Huh?" Raz asked, "Why? What do they lookk like and who is Taammy Shafer?"
Lili tugged on his hand and led him to the gang in question, "You can't miss them, there's a guy in a fedora, another with wings, a strong-dude, another with a sword, a demon-lemur, two elfgirls, a furry and another who's watching a movie plus this rock with a crayola smiley face. They're weird even by our standards. As for Tammy Shafer..." Lili filled her confuzzled BF in.

BRAGGING rights in the travelling community will be at stake when John McDermott risks his English heavyweight crown against Tyson Fury. The feuding fighters meet in the grudge fight of 2009 at Brentwood Centre on Friday with the venue close to a 2000 sell-out. Manchester's Fury (7-0) hails from a famous bare-knuckle fighting gypsy family, while McDermott who lost his last two fights in British championship wars against Danny Williams also comes from a travelling background. Promoter Frank Maloney: "I am told there have been some massive bets among different factions in the travelling community..
"That doesn't surprise me because travellers are pretty fearless when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.
"There is even a suggestion that someone in Essex has taken a £50,000 bet on Fury winning the fight which is nuts.
"There is going to be so much pride at stake between the fighters and fans that the atmosphere will be like a bear-pit and it makes for a wildly exciting match-up.
"It is a fascinating fight where McDermott is in the last chance saloon and Fury has to live up to his boasts. He'll look daft if he doesn't."
Essex boxer McDermott (25-5) has been upset at criticism over his 18 stone frame, but insists Fury will be silenced in their big fight which is televised live by Sky Sports.
McDermott who wants a third clash with Williams if he defeats Fury says: "People don't realise I can box. I have a good left hand and my boxing is one of my best attributes.
"Look at Martin Rogan. He has a fantastic body, but I am not born like that. I run at a good pace for an hour some mornings and keep up with boxers of 11 stone. I train hard three times a day."
The last few remaining tickets for the show priced £90 and £35 are available from www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508
Maloney Furious At Tyson Fury
UNFORTUNATELY Monday's (Sept 7) John McDermott-Tyson Fury press conference has had to be cancelled. This is because Fury has refused to attend the head-to-head despite the efforts of promoter Frank Maloney. Maloney who promotes the fight at Brentwood Centre on Fri (Sept 4) said: "I am very disappointed with the attitude of Fury and his promoter Mick Hennessy and I have lodged a complaint with the British Boxing Board of Control. "I paid a record purse for an English heavyweight title fight to stage the fight and expect co-operation with media activities.
"It is the only conference Tyson has been asked to attend to promote the fight so there has not been excessive press demands from me.
"I have offered to fly Tyson and his trainer down from Manchester on Monday morning, put a driver at his disposal and even offered use of a gym if he wanted to train before flying him back home."
"We're in an era where promoters need to keep boxing in the mainstream media, but it is impossible with this attitude.
"If Hennessy Sports had won the purse bids I can assure you that McDermott would have attended press conferences."

Judge Delays BlackBerry Cutoff Decision
By Peter Kaplan and John Crawley
RICHMOND, Virginia — A U.S. judge on Friday stopped short of ordering an immediate shutdown of millions of BlackBerry devices, but reminded manufacturer Research In Motion Ltd. it had already been found to have infringed the patents of NTP Inc.
U.S. District Judge James Spencer's delay in deciding on an injunction increased the pressure for an out-of-court settlement between the parties, analysts said.
"They avoided the injunction and second of all it looks like the judge is pushing toward a precipitated settlement," analyst Kona Shio of Conscius Capital Partners said.
The delay sent RIM shares soaring, but the judge expressed skepticism about RIM's argument that a shutdown of the portable e-mail devices would hobble critical public services.
At a nearly four-hour hearing, Spencer noted that RIM had told investors that its software work-around would avoid disruptions to its more than 3 million U.S. users.
Spencer said he would issue a decision on an injunction "as soon as reasonably possible" but gave no indication of when.
But he said there was no escaping that RIM had been found to be infringing on NTP's patents. "The simple truth, the reality of the jury verdict has not changed."
Spencer also said RIM and NTP should have settled. They reached a tentative settlement of $450 million early last year, but the deal fell apart.
The key question now, say observers, is whether the two sides will strike an agreement.
"Is that going to happen? I think if they have an opportunity to do that at reasonable terms they will," American Technology Research analyst Rob Sanderson said.
Martin Glick, a patent lawyer for RIM, said the company was still in active negotiations with privately-held NTP.
"Judges always try to find ways to urge the parties to reach a resolution," he told reporters outside of court.
NTP said in a statement it had tried to meet with RIM this week. "We want all BlackBerry users to know that we have repeatedly attempted to settle this issue with RIM."
RIM shares rose as much as 12.7 percent to $78.38 before trimming their gains to $73.81, up 6.16 percent on Nasdaq in mid-afternoon trading.
Canada-based RIM has been locked in a court battle for more than four years with privately held NTP which filed suit late in 2001. A jury found in favor of NTP in 2002.
Earlier on Friday, NTP asked Spencer for an injunction against U.S. BlackBerry service with a 30-day grace period for users to find alternative service and sought an immediate imposition of $126 million in damages for past infringement.
RIM countered by arguing a shutdown would be against the public interest.
A lawyer for the U.S. Justice Department asked Spencer to exempt all government employees and contractors from any shutdown and sought a 90-day grace period for all users.
Some users are so reliant on the gadgets that they have dubbed them "CrackBerries."
Among the alternatives to the BlackBerry is the Treo 650 smartphone made by computer and smartphone maker Palm Inc..
Others who could cash in on a BlackBerry blackout are Nokia, Samsung Electronics and Hewlett-Packard Co., which offer e-mail capable mobile phones.
RIM has challenged the validity of the NTP patents in an administrative proceeding at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office but the process is lengthy and NTP could appeal any final decision against it back to the courts.
On Wednesday the patent office issued decisions rejecting two of the five patents at issue in the case.

Climate change experts argue for international geoengineering effort
Global warming may impair the ability of ecosystems to perform vital services -- such as providing food, clean water and carbon sequestration -- says the nation's largest organization of ecological scientists.
While governments around the world continue to explore strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a new study suggests policymakers should focus on what needs to be achieved in the next 40 years in order to keep long-term options viable for avoiding dangerous levels of warming.
Climate experts say geo-engineers are exploring radical new ways to combat Earth's climate crisis, including fertilizing the seas with iron, scattering particles in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight or building a sunshade in space.
A knowledge gap exists in the area of climate research: for decades, scientists have been asking themselves whether, and to what extent man-made aerosols, that is, dust particles suspended in the atmosphere, enlarge the cloud cover and thus curb climate warming.

Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: Janata Dal (S) leader N. Thippanna, who quit the Legislative Council, is likely to be supported by the BJP in the bypolls to the Upper House of the State legislature. Another Janata Dal (S) leader B.R. Gurudev, who also quit the Legislative Council, is expected to get a political post, highly placed sources in the BJP said.
A senior BJP functionary told The Hindu that the party wanted to send a "strong message" to the Janata Dal (S), which is in the forefront of agitations against the Government through such a move.
He was of the view that it was tough for the BJP to handle the Janata Dal (S) if it became the principal Opposition in the Upper House. The BJP is also trying to send out a political message that it helped a Dalit woman, Motamma, of the Congress to retain her post of leader of the Opposition as she would have lost her post if the two Janata Dal (S) MLCs had not quit.
By making two Janata Dal (S) MLCs to quit, the BJP seems to have divided the Opposition in the Upper House.
Of course, the resignation of the two Janata Dal (S) MLCs has provided direct benefits to the BJP, as it would get majority in the Upper House soon after the nomination of three members. This would also help the party to get the post of Chairman of the House.
"We have nothing to lose," said a BJP leader, while referring to the pros and cons of making the two Janata Dal (S) MLCs quit.
Meanwhile, sources said that appointments to boards and corporations would be made only after the BBMP Council elections, while any reshuffle in the Ministry would have to wait till the presentation of the State budget.

Sep, 18th – Sep, 22nd Vancouver, CA
The Hwy 99 was a long and twisty hell. With a leaking bike, I really didn't enjoy it one bit as I my riding pants got soaked and construction road blocks at every bend made it a 5 hour ride. Oil kept dripping on the exhaust and every time I stopped; a cloud of smoke encircled me which made breathing difficult.
I got to Vancouver in the rush hour and found my way towards Sarah's apartment. Sarah was my couch surfing host on Friday and Saturday and she was a great one at that.
On Saturday I finally found a valve cover gasket and oil filter and Andy offered his garage to do the operation. Andy read about my problems with the bike and called me when I was in Williams lake and he even offered to ship the complete rear wheel off of his bike to get me down to Vancouver.(I had already changed the tire at that time, but the random act of kindness was touchy). On Sunday afternoon, we tore the bike apart once again and changed the valve cover gasket along with the tar colored oil in Andy's garage and had a great time talking about GS motorcycles the whole time.
My Sunday host had canceled on me and I had nowhere to go so with Sarah's help, I found a cheap hostel called the American backpackers in downtown Vancouver. This place was a rundown place, putting it politely. If I concentrated hard enough, I could do a study on rats and other small mammals in their natural habitat. It was $10 and I needed a place to stay so I checked in. The only parking spot was in the back alley and as I was getting my stuff out, I noticed that there was broken window glasses all over the lot so I put on 4 different locks on the bike and started walking in. 15 feet from my bike I heard a window shatters and saw a guy running with something in his hand and that was enough to turn around right there and go back to the bike. I rode the bike right in front of the hostel and chained it under the light but I still didn't feel completely safe, so I opened the double door of the hostel and moved the bike inside in the front hall. I didn't care what anyone says, I wasn't going to move it an inch, no matter what.
Besides being a dirty place, this hostel was one of the coolest places I've visited in Canada. I made many friends from all over the world and had a great time.
On Monday, I managed to get a print shop to do my brochure printings. Thanks to TR Trades Production, LTD, I now have 500 brochures to pass around. Danielle Dongan, the owner of the shop was super helpful and she even tri-folded them before I picked them up. Thank you Danielle, you're a doll.
I spent Monday and Tuesday at Elizabeth's. My new host was a cutie who rides her yellow JAZZ scooter all over the town and her dream is to do the Tour de Europe on her Bicycle. An explorer at heart, she was smart and very enjoyable to talk to.
On Tuesday, I decided to do some fundraising on the rich side of the city, so I setup my display in front of the Starbucks (one of my sponsors) with the help of a pretty and very enthusiastic Persian girl; Natalie (I hope the spelling is right). Natalie provided muffin samples, donation bucket and tables but as the day went by, I realized that it's hard to get a penny out of this pretentious bunch.
5 hours of begging and only $20. That has got to be a new record for me. (I didn't see one beggar in the whole area, maybe they knew what I didn't know!) There was a lady who bought a bottle of water for her dog while pushing her $4000 stroller and refused to throw her change in the bucket.(She ate the free sample though.) I watched a parade of Lamborghinis, Mercedes and Ferraris go by with people who had so much but spared so little. When you talked to them they all bitched at the economy, like they were suffering. I suppose they used their helicopters to do the shopping; now they are forced to drive their crapy Rolls-Royces. It's true when they say that "the less they have, the more they give."
I am leaving for Ferndale, Washington tomorrow. Good to get back to States after all.

When you get to, or come by Portland, OR please let me know. I don't have much to offer, but I'd love to buy you dinner, and if you'd like a place to stay, I've got a spare couch and a spare bed.
I really like the idea of your trip, and love the bike. We're the same age, and I think we share some of the same ideas. I really, really am jealous not only of the adventure, but of the work you are going to be doing. Thanks for the inspiration.

I will be in Seattle until Sunday I think. I remember the Ural, one hell of a cool bike man. I saw one just like that with a girl and a guy in Rancheria, YT on Alaska Highway. Downtown Seattle killed me yesterday, no parking spot, busy and complicated. I'll be in Portland in a week or so, I will definitely give you call when I get there. I also got your email and will respond there as well. I'm going fundraising this morning so we'll see what WA has to offer beside traffic.

Sep, 22nd – Sep, 29th. Washington State
I know it's been a long time since my last update but I've been sick ever since and been battling a bad case of influenza.
I got to Ferndale rather early on the 23rd, and had to wait around for Ted to get off of work. I bought some oil and another tube of epoxy for later patch works and waited at the library for Ted to call. I arrived at his house around 6pm and we got to work, changing the oil and drilling a hole in my front box for a camera mount. One of Ted's friends name Carter showed up on an another GS and we got talking for a good long time. When Carter left, Ted and I talked about skiing for another 2 hours and finally I hit the hay after midnight in the "Man Cave." There's nothing like waking up to a fresh cup of coffee, two big smoked salmon steaks and a box of crackers. I said my goodbyes to Ted and got on the road for Seattle early in the morning.
If you have a choice between driving in Downtown Seattle on a loaded bike and no map or giving birth to a flaming walrus; look into the second option. Seattle is a city of agony. I rode around downtown for hours without finding a single parking spot that was safe or cheap. 0-2 hours of parking goes for $8 and more than 2 hours for $16. There are cheaper places to park but most likely the bike will get stripped as soon as you turn your head.
After a long day of cursing and swearing, I finally hooked up with my host, Natalie and hunkered down at her house. Natalie and Christy were my hosts in Seattle and they were so nice and cool I didn't want to leave. I got sick the first night and was no good after that but I managed to make some Chicken marasala for them as a show of appreciation. Thank you guys.
Between the antibiotics and fever reducers I have no recollection of the small details but I got out of Seattle on Sunday and went to Chris Mathews' house in Buckley, WA. It was 2 years since I saw Chris and the reunion was great. I stayed at Chris' for the night and as much as I loved to stay longer, I had to leave the next morning. There is a big storm coming over the northwest that can be pretty nasty, plus it's no fun riding in rain while being sick either.
After a great breakfast of sausage and eggs at Chris', I fare welled with Chris and his hospitable and cool girlfriend and headed south again.
I was dozing off on the highway when I heard a metal scraping the road and to my horror, one of the front boxes was hanging on a shred of aluminum and scraping the ground at 70mph. I slowed down but couldn't stop since I was in the fast lane and Hwy 5 is a 10 lane highway. By the time I made my way closer to the shoulder, the box finally came off and started bouncing up and down at high speed. Miraculously, it did not hit any cars and when it came to stop it was on the shoulder of the highway.
I picked up the box and lashed it to my rear pannier and got back on the highway again, for Portland, Oregon. I will be staying at Wade's house tonight with a garage so I'll put on a new rack and will adjust the load so this doesn't happen again.
I'm still pretty sick, so bear with me here. I will write more as soon as I can.

My dream is far less ambitious, however, I have equipped a GS850 for self sufficient travel in the Americas, and I will be following you with great interest! More to follow perhaps as I dig into your thread and site. Not sure if I can be of assistance to you along the way, perhaps my extensive research into the bike may be useful. Anyway, Good Stuff !

Sep, 29th – Oct, 1st Oregon, The Beaver State
This flu took a lot out of me as big city traffic, rain and popping pills don't really mix. There were many people who sent me get well emails including Debbi Matte, my battery sponsor (Batteries Plus) who looked after me like a mother hen and sent me jokes to cheer me up. Thank you guys.
I made Portland a little after 4 and started looking for a rack to replace the broken one. The only place I knew that carried the same rack was Wal-Mart but since Portland is anti Wal-Mart, I had one hell of a time locating one and when I did, they were out. After riding for another hour I found another Wal-Mart on the other side of the town and luckily they had one left. I called wade and got directions to his house and was home free.
Wade read my posts on ADVrider.com and offered me his garage and a sleeping quarter which I desperately needed. After couple glasses of wine, we got to work and replaced the old rack with the new one and mounted the solar panel that Debbi gave me on the right aluminum pannier.
I stayed with wade for two nights and reorganized my gear and shifted the weight backward a little.
While I was in Seattle, I stopped at the Touratech USA and Tom the owner was kind enough to supply me with a great Ortlieb dry bag which made my life easier. No more garbage bag over my backpack for water proofing!
Another member name Todd from GSresources offered his garage while I was in Prince George, so I called him and met up with him in Beaverton. He took me out to lunch to a Hawaiian joint and I stuffed myself with kalua pig. Man that was good. He performed some surgery on the front forks to straighten the bend I had in it along with drilling another hole in my broken windshield and I was on my way. Todd is a canny navigator and every time he gave me a direction, it was right on. Thanks to his gift, I found my way out of the wine country and toward the coast quickly but wetly.
The Oregon coast is a phenomenal place, 800 miles of sand and giant rocks coming out of the ocean, with little towns scattered all along the way. Speed limit is 55 at the most and I don't like it but the scenery makes up the difference.
After Beaverton, I stayed with my couch surfing host, Corrina in Otis for two nights. She was the only person in the area on the site and I was lucky to be her guest. A non-profit environmentalist, she lives in a cute house nested into the woods of country side with 13 chickens and a cool cat. She made a killer dinner of fish and pasta with fresh vegetables and I devoured the whole skillet.
The next evening I worked with the Lincoln City Food Pantry and got to get more familiar with the Food Bank system in Oregon. My observations are mixed as it was very much like the other food banks I've visited and volunteered; it lacked the educational infrastructure.
With shelves full of food, it is sad to witness people coming in and stacking up on unhealthy garbage and passing up on the fresh produce they had to offer. There was only one lady who picked up an apple in 3 hours that I was there and I had to take a picture of it.
Feeding without providing education is wasting resources. As simple as that. Food education is something we are lacking and there has not been a serious attempt to make it a reality. Let's try cooking sessions in churches one Sunday out of the month. I'm sure God would be fine with that.
In the year 2009, the obesity rate finally caught up to the hunger figures. According to United Nations, there are 1.1 billion people worldwide who are suffering from hunger and the exact number hold true for obesity. Of course there is no relation whatsoever between these two phenomenon and you would be a communist if you ever made one.
In our own country, we have an obesity rate of over 30%! That means that out of every 3 people, one weighs as much as the other two, and what do we do? We switch to Diet-Coke instead of the regular Coke! They are the two ends of the same spectrum; poverty. Have you ever wondered why George clooney doesn't weigh 400lbs but the guy in the trailer park down the road does? Education and healthy diet is the answer. Education and healthy diet is the answer. When you are on food stamps, you don't pick the healthiest food, you pick the most filling one.
Sometimes I think that human race is not as evolved as other species. We care more about our lawns and Halloween costumes than we care about our neighbors.
I read an article on Vampire Bats not long ago that made me shiver. Vampire Bats, which primarily feed on blood of mammals and birds, must obtain a blood meal at least every 3 days or face starvation. On a given night, there are individuals that do not successfully feed. Fortunately for them, those who do get their share of blood, regurgitate their meal for the unsuccessful ones. This trait has persisted through evolutionary time, and they have developed a level of recognition which they will refuse to regurgitate blood for those who have not participated in food sharing in the past.
With our IPods and million mega pixel cameras, with our triple over-head cam engines and Mars Rovers, we still don't possess a decency of sharing our meals with those who need it desperately. It doesn't cost us much, maybe if we didn't buy another $18 stupid gadget that ends up in a box in our 19 door garage, maybe if we cooked a meal once in a while instead of stuffing our guts with shit shiny Chinese food from a buffet, or buying a 50 gallon drum of mustard from Costco, we could scramble up 20 bucks to feed a family of 4. To get them educated so they don't have to eat fat and sugar when they do get to choose their food. Maybe I'm a visionary or maybe I'm just talking to my god damn self or maybe both. Perhaps that's the problem.
This month is a month of giving. Spare that ugly orange walnut turkey that you put on the kitchen table to bring the "Holiday Feel" to your home, instead bring joy and life to a family by giving them their very basic need: Food. Scroll down and take a good look at what a "Mechanically Separated Turkey" (This was on the label, I didn't make this up) looks like in a Food Share freezer, then compare it to what your Butterball will look like on Thanksgiving Day.
For the month of October, I've chosen a well deserved and a unique organization called "The Centro de Recuperacion Nutricional Infantil Bethania" in Jocotán, Guatemala. It is a private medical center that treats about 400 malnourished children each year. They are desperately underfunded and your donations are matter of life and death.
Children that are being treated in this facility are extremely malnourished. Antonio they boy pictured in my donation page on the website had a weight of a 6 moths old baby although he was 3 years old at the time the picture was taken. Every recovery costs $900 per child, in a nation that 75% of the population live on less than $2 a day.
Please make a donation of any amount (think of it as a second turkey for thanksgiving dinner) and I will pitch in $2000 out of my travel funds, although it will cripple the expedition. Donations can be sent by checks, cash, kiss, hugs and credit cards. Please visit the Donation Page for more information.
Let's not be human for a while, let's be vampires…(if you make a bumper sticker out of that, I want royalty )

ADHD and New Year's Resolutions
Do you have New Year's resolutions you'll need to get started on soon? Here are some strategies to overcome ADHD inertia and get moving.
A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. That's the definition of inertia, Newton's first law of motion. ??People experience inertia too. It's stronger in those of us with ADHD. Once we get moving, it's hard to stop us. But it's really hard for us to get moving! Blaming ourselves for our extra inertia is kind of like blaming...

ADHD and the Power of Positive Thinking
Never underestimate the power of positive thinking. It makes life with attention deficit disorder much easier.
How many times have you fallen into a downward spiral, where it seems like nothing will ever go right? You have so much going on, and so little time to do it. You start thinking about all the things you can't do -- everything that's ever gone wrong in your life. "Why do I even bother?!" This kind of stress is often part of living...

Due to the resignation of Tammy Cross from the DISD Board of Education in December, the January meeting began with member changes on the board.
Jim Hodson was voted in to complete Cross's term as seat number one on the board. Due to family issues, Hodson could not be at the January 6 meeting but will be formally seated in February.
Cross also served as Vice-President on the board. Current board member Nate Morrison was voted to take her place as Vice-President.
Morrison took an oath to uphold his new responsibilities before the meeting proceeded. During the meeting, the school district's A-F School Report Card was discussed.
Superintendent Jason Simeroth said the district received a C+ grade from the state with the high school receiving a B+, the middle school receiving a B, and the intermediate school receiving a C.
Robert E. Lee Elementary received an A- grade and both Washington Irving and Northwest Heights received A grades. Simeroth said the district's grade is not purely an average of the schools' grades but some aspects are weighted more heavily than others.
The board approved hiring a Director of Secondary Education and a Director of Elementary Education to the district's staff.
These two positions would ensure devoted attention would be paid to the curriculum at both levels to pay special attention to issues such as state and federal testing and common core curriculum.
It was discussed that many schools of similar size to Durant have such employees to help students. The board also discussed the 2013 fiscal year audit report with a new auditing company, Sanders, Bledsoe &Hewett.
The board discussed an option for rearranging the student body within the district's three elementary schools. Currently the schools each have students grades Pre-K to third.
With the introduction of "grade centers" Simeroth said each school would ideally be divided up into grades providing easier access to needed resources for each grade.
No actions have been taken in this regard but a public opinion link will be added to the district's website, www.durantisd.org. Simeroth said he hopes to have the link on the page by the end of the week.
They also acknowledged an anonymous donation of $2,500 to the district following the Robert E. Lee open house in December.
The board approved the hire of a new sixth grade teacher at the Durant Intermediate School. The position will be filled by Susan Hall. Hall has taught for the past several years at local school Victory Life.
The board also recognized the resignation of the high school assistant principal Dale Perrin.Perrin has been with DISD for approximately 38 years.
"Dale's put in a lot of good years and we will miss him," said Simeroth.

Thank you ahead of time for any info. =)
From I have determined over the past six months, the price is based on the following things in order of general priority:
Level (color)
As far as any being "more powerful" that depends on your game play style as well as knowledge of abilities. Regarding your last question, sadly, I'm no where near an expert on the Eng play. I do only Tac. Maybe someone else can respond properly.

AO Logics x Newsense - Something New
Artist: Logics (of ArtOfficial)
Producer: T-Mos
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 9 votes )
To date, all of Logics and Newsense's Booth features have seen them rhyming over live-beat beats by their colleagues in Floridian live-band hip-hop ensemble ArtOfficial. On their latest effort, a previously-unreleased loosie dropped in honor of the new year, they try out Something New, detaching from their crew to craft a record with Rockville, Maryland's T-Mos. Over the aforementioned beatsmith's deft sample work, the rhymesayers chronicle their quest to create something fresh and original in the rap game, stopping only to bust lyrical shots at sucker emcees surrounding them. While this joint isn't attached to any forthcoming project, readers who like what they're hearing can keep it locked for more from the collaborators—whether singly, dually or under the ArtOfficial banner.

yea i always liked the look of those Enkei's. You gonna paint them? What color? oh yea..i emailed Subaru and i can get a fender(not painted)for $200 at the dealership. What do you think? I know a guy who has his own paint booth so i'm not worried about the painting part.
A buddy of mine has a gold set of RPF-1s on his black S2000 CR with blue Rays lug nuts - staggered, of course (wider in the back). Good looking wheel, although I didn't like them much at first. For whatever reason, they've grown on me.
Joshua, I apologize that I haven't been keeping track of your tire/wheel situation, but I'm curious:
1. Do you still have the stock 07 wheels or did you get rid of them?
2. What kind/size tires do you currently have on your Rotas?
3. Are you planning to keep your Rotas?
4. What kind/size tires are you planning to use on the Enkeis?

IT IS A FRIGID SATURDAY IN NOVEMBER and the rain is blowing sideways through the pavilion at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historical Park. I'm shivering so violently my notes look like they're in Arabic. But the two dozen hardy souls gathered around the picnic tables are undeterred by the harsh conditions, warmed by their passion for plants. They paw through a collection of clear plastic bags spread out across several tables. The bags, fogged with condensation, contain what appear to be green twigs about six inches long, each bearing a few sets of leaves. To me, they all look like the same species of thorny twig, but the bags are carefully labeled with the "study names" of the as-yet-unidentified roses: Schulenburg Apricot, Katy Road Pink, Highway 290 Pink Buttons. These are cuttings of Old Garden Roses, the inauspicious beginnings of those rugged plants seen blooming profusely in cemeteries and climbing to the roofs of abandoned homesteads around Texas. They are the roses whose neglected glory taunts anyone who has struggled to keep finicky Modern Hybrid Teas alive during our long, hot summers.
Technically speaking, an Old Garden Rose, as defined and capitalized by the American Rose Society, is one belonging to a class of rose that existed before 1867 (there are forty classes of roses in all). That's the year the first of the Modern Hybrid Teas, with their long, straight stems and perfect flowers, were introduced. Note that it's the class of rose, such as China or Gallica, not the variety of rose in a class, to which this cutoff date applies. Someone could create a brand-new China rose in 2050, and it would still be an Old Garden Rose. Texas gardeners, however, are not a group known to cling to a technicality. In some circles the definition has now expanded to include any rose more than 75 years old. And true gardening iconoclasts use the term loosely to describe any rose that thrives in their garden without bother. "If it looks like an old rose and grows like an old rose and smells like an old rose, as far as we're concerned, it is one," says William C. Welch, a professor of horticulture at Texas A&M and the author of Antique Roses for the South.
Antique roses are disease resistant, sometimes everblooming, and—perhaps most important—richly scented. Their graceful forms, which range from low, mounding shrubs to vigorous climbers and eight-foot-high hedgerows, fit easily into a variety of landscapes. So it's not surprising that they are growing in popularity faster than an Old Blush in a sunny corner. What is surprising is that they ever fell from grace and that they took so long to make a comeback, especially when you consider that their persnickety offspring, the Modern Hybrid Teas, are vulnerable to black spot and rust, shrivel in the heat, and require enough pruning, spraying, feeding, and all-around mollycoddling to spur even the most devout rose lover to switch to silk flowers.
Their revival is largely due to the nuts—uh, gardening enthusiasts—who organized that frigid cutting exchange, members of the Texas Rose Rustlers. This group began about twenty years ago as a personal quest by a few rose fanatics to uncover the mysteries and histories of forgotten roses around our state. Today, thanks to their efforts and the pass-along habits of Southern gardeners, old roses are new again.
Rose Routes
THE STORY OF THE PEOPLE AND EVENTS that eventually collided to create this old-rose renaissance in Texas has the historical sweep of a Sidney Sheldon miniseries. We open with the "discovery" of China and Tea roses in China in the mid-1700's by European botanists who prized their everblooming qualities. Horticulturists in France and England went wild cross-cultivating these imports with their spring-blooming Gallicas, Musks, Damasks, and Centifolias, producing new classes of roses like repeat-blooming Noisettes, Bourbons, and Hybrid Perpetuals. After a couple hundred years, they had managed to breed out the sweet scents, the vigor, and the disease resistance of the parent plants in favor of huge, perfect flowers in brilliant colors that they called Hybrid Teas.
In the meantime, early pioneers were sailing to America with cuttings from their treasured old roses tucked into their belongings. Settlers continued to push westward, carrying cuttings into the wilderness, and some of them were eventually plunked into Texas soil beneath the blazing Texas sun. Many of the cool-loving plants, which had fared well in northern motherlands, perished here, but some, especially those with heat-loving China or Tea in their heritage, thrived—or at least survived. Then along came the Civil War, after which gardeners in the impoverished South learned to make do with roses they'd raised for generations and to exchange favored cuttings.
When homogenization hit the American landscape in the fifties, many Texas and Southern gardeners tossed aside their old beauties for the showy blooms of the Hybrid Tea roses featured in full-color splendor in catalogs from Europe and the north. But we don't have the same climate as New Hampshire, or even old Hampshire. The cold-hardy roses—Peace, Sterling Silver, Iceberg, and others—were shipped down here from their chilly climes only to languish in our heat.
One of those who succumbed to the propaganda was Pamela Puryear, who lives in Navasota. "I decided I just had to have a Sterling Silver [a 1957 Hybrid Tea]," she says. "I took its pH, sprayed it, pruned it, fussed with its soil. It produced three blooms and then it died.
"It was an annual," jokes Puryear, who is 54. She ordered Old Garden Roses from an Ohio catalog, but they were Damasks, Centifolias, and Moss roses, which fared no better in the heat than the hybrids. She joined the Heritage Roses Group, whose membership was concentrated in Virginia, New York, and California: "They were encouraging, but they couldn't help me very much because my climate is different."
Finally, in the mid-seventies, Puryear encountered a rose in nearby Washington County that restored her rosy outlook. In front of an 1824 log house stood two rosebushes, eight feet tall and eight feet wide, in full bloom,

Yo Ho Ho! A Pirate's Christmas
In this jolly kids Christmas musical by Scott DeTurk and James J. Mellon, a band of pirates raids the North Pole! Will they force Santa to walk the plank? Will they keelhaul Rudolph for playing reindeer games? Not to worry: Somali warlords with machine guns, these pirates aint. Rather, they are genial privateers of the arr and blistering barnacles! school. Swashbucklin pirate Captain Black-Eyed Johnny (charismatic Rob Arbogast, bearing an almost eerie resemblance to Patrick Swayze) and his mischievous pirate band arrive at the South Pole and steal all Santas presents, kidnapping Mrs. Claus (Bonnie MacBird) for good measure. Its up to an intrepid little girl (the role is multicast, Daisy Bishop on the night reviewed) to save the day. Mellon and DeTurks sweet, boisterous musical is charming, briskly executed fun, with an innocent yet good-humored sensibility thats perfect for the very young. Much of the show depends on the energy of the audience, which constantly interacts with the performers in the style of a British pantomime. The songs are energetic, and some, such as the crowd-pleasing sea shanty Sail On, have some strikingly sophisticated harmonies. The ensemble enacts the daffy material with absolute commitment, including hilariously mugging turns offered by the pirates in supporting roles.

full array of phenomena associated with HED beam-plasma interactions is not the intent of this report, but the committee believes that the information provided will give the reader some idea of the wealth of phenomena associated with beams in plasmas. Then, in the secion on applications of HED beam-plasma physics, three applications are described rather extensively, followed by coverage of seven other applications. The final section discusses the opportunities for furthering this field, both experimentally and theoretically/computationally.
The intellectual theme of this chapter can be gleaned from the following list of illustrative questions of high intellectual value:
At what intensities does dense matter become transparent? At what intensities does vacuum become opaque?

Sterile Processing Technicians in the United States take home approximately $13.61 per hour on average. Compensation ranges from $10.01 per hour on the lower end to $18.74 on the higher end. Location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by career length. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and the larger part earn dental coverage. Job satisfaction is reported as high by the vast majority of workers. The data in this summary comes from the PayScale salary survey.

Sterile processing technicians, also known as surgical technologists, work as part of an operations team in a health care organization. They play an essential role in patient safety as well as infection control. Sterile processing technicians operate the sterilizing equipment such as the autoclave that sterilizes equipment, gloves, and needles. They must obey all hospital policies and are responsible for arranging the surgical equipment in the operating room. They must check, assemble, and adjust all medical tools to ensure they are all functioning properly before the surgery begins. They must make sure all tools and equipment have been decontaminated and that the area is completely sterile before and after procedures. Due to hospitals' around-the-clock schedule, being on-call is often required, as is some holiday work.Read More...
Surgical technicians must to be able to proactively develop and maintain technical knowledge in many specialized areas, remaining up to date on changing practices and trends. They must be able to identify areas in which improvements can be made and then help implement those changes.
Sterile processing technicians should also possess great communication skills to work effectively with other members of the team, as well as patients. Certification from a relevant program is necessary; before full certification, they must attend lectures and have clinical training sessions for one year in a hospital setting. Many employers require some experience.

For Sterile Processing Technicians, progressing to a Sterile Processing Manager role may result in a significant raise. On average, a Sterile Processing Manager can earn $60K annually. It is not uncommon for a Sterile Processing Technician to continue on to become a Sterile Processing Supervisor or a Sterile Processing Technologist.
Sterile Processing Technicians report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in certified, Decontamination, Cleaning, and Instrument Control are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include sterilization. Many workers who know Instrument Control also know sterilization.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $27K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $30K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Sterile Processing Technicians bring in $33K after working for 10 to 20 years. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $35K.
San Francisco is home to an above-average pay rate for Sterile Processing Technicians, 60 percent higher than the national average. Sterile Processing Technicians can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+33 percent), Los Angeles (+18 percent), Boston (+16 percent), and Baltimore (+11 percent). The lowest-paying market is San Antonio, which sits 13 percent below the national average. Employers in Cleveland and Tampa also lean toward paying below-median salaries (11 percent lower and 9 percent lower, respectively).

I have 2 dogs and the vinyl floor in front of their food dishes would not come clean. The dirt was ground in. I sprayed Scrubbing Bubbles Tub Cleaner on the floor and let it set up for about 10 minutes. The dirt lifted right out of the tiny dimples in the vinyl! Good as new!
Try Listerine mouthwash if youre out of floor cleaner. Add a capful to a gallon of water and mop vinyl or tilebut not woodfloors with the mixture. The same product that kills bad-breath germs also zaps the gunk beneath your feet.432
So many cleaners and chemicals are unhealthy. Use baking soda and vinegar to clean bathrooms and your kitchen sink. A clean rag dipped in hot water will clean your counters and a steam mop will get your floors clean and sanitized with no residue. A pot simmering with water, cinnamon and vanilla makes a great air freshener. It's good for your home, health and the earth!
Clean one room in the house a day leaving the floors for your last day.

Blu-ray discs could help make better solar cells
November 25, 2014
Blu-ray discs have proven themselves superior to DVDs as storage media in light of their high capacity, high definition, and higher transfer rate. Now researchers claim that Blu-ray discs have one more advantage over DVDs: they also have the ability to help markedly improve the efficiency of solar cells, when their etched information patterns are repurposed for use as light concentrators.

Blood test provides first objective diagnosis of depression in adults
By Darren Quick
September 22, 2014
Diagnosing depression can be a difficult task, currently relying on patients reporting symptoms – something those suffering depression don't always do – and doctors correctly interpreting them – which isn't easy as the symptoms are non-specific. Now researchers have developed a blood test to diagnose depression in adults, providing the first objective, scientific diagnosis for the condition. Read More
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation found to boost memory
By Darren Quick
September 1, 2014
Failing memory is one of the (many) drawbacks of old age, but can also impact younger people suffering stroke, early-stage Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury and cardiac arrest. In a breakthrough that opens up the potential for new treatments for memory impairments in the young and old, researchers at Northwestern University have shown that electrical stimulation of the brain can improve memory, with the benefits lasting long after treatment.

After a heart attack has occurred, inflammatory cells known as monocytes rush to the damaged tissue. This causes the heart to swell, reducing its ability to pump blood, and further damaging the tissue – a potentially lethal situation. Now, however, scientists have discovered that injectable microparticles can help stop that from happening. Read More
Intravaginal ring could block HIV transmission to women
October 2, 2013
According to UNAIDS, a member of the United Nations Development Group, 58 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa are women. Although preventative drugs and condoms do block the transmission of HIV, neither are always practical, available or affordable in developing nations. Help could be on its way, however, in the form of an anti-HIV intravaginal ring that is worn continuously for up to 30 days. Read More
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered new ways of utilizing the properties of naturally occurring polyphenols found in green tea, red wine and dark chocolate. Dissolving polyphenol powders in water with a small amount of salt instantly produces transparent coatings that kill bacteria on contact, have antioxidant qualities and are non-toxic. The sticky nature of polyphenols and the low cost of materials could open the door to a wide range of uses for these coatings. Read More
The two faces of the "love hormone"
By Brian Dodson
August 6, 2013
Often called the love hormone, oxytocin has shown the ability to enhance social bonding, decrease anxiety and encourage an overall feeling of satisfaction with life. A new study out of Northwestern University, however, finds that this ancient hormone has a dark side, and is capable of strengthening unpleasant memories, fear, and anxiety. This Jeckyll and Hyde behavior results from the fact that oxytocin has a general strengthening effect on social memories, without regard to their polarity. Read More
In multiple sclerosis, the body's immune system attacks and damages myelin, which is the insulating layer on nerves in the spinal cord, brain and optic nerve. Just as would happen with an electrical cord with compromised insulation, this causes the nerves to short-circuit and cease functioning properly. An international team of scientists, however, have recently reported success in the first phase of clinical trials in which MS victims' immune systems were conditioned to become much more tolerant of myelin.

Japan cleans up radiation zone, unsure of success
"You have to keep cleaning up," said Toshiaki Kusano, Fukushima city's top crisis management official. The city has a five-year decontamination plan, which he said could be extended.
For evacuees, a major step forward may come in the next few weeks, when officials hope to redefine the evacuation zone, possibly opening up some areas, based on radiation data.
Radiation accumulates in soil, plants and exterior building walls. Workers start cleaning a property by washing or chopping off tree branches and raking up fallen leaves. Then they clean out building gutters and hose down the roof with high-pressure water. Next come the walls and windows. Finally, they replace the topsoil with fresh earth.
Historically, the only parallel situation is Chernobyl, where the contaminated area - once home to 110,000 people - remains off-limits nearly 26 years after the nuclear power plant exploded.
"They abandoned the land," Environment Minister Goshi Hosono told a meeting of local officials and residents last month. "We won't give up. The land belongs to each village, to each resident. As long as there are people who want to return home, we'll do everything we can to help."
In an interview with a group of reporters, though, he conceded that such a massive cleanup is "untested."
In Hirono, a quiet seaside town just outside the 20-kilometer ring, 70-year-old Shuzo Okada hired workers to decontaminate his house but is not willing to live there yet.
Most of the 5,500 residents have left because of radiation fears. The town office reopened recently, but Okada says the dosimeter readings he takes at his house are too high for comfort.
"I've had the whole house cleaned already, but it's not enough," he said. "We have to do it again and again. I hope we can come back some time. I'm an old man, so I'm not afraid of radiation. But I doubt younger people would want to come back."
Experts say it may be possible to clean up less-contaminated areas, but nothing is promising in the most contaminated places, where any improvement is quickly wiped out by radiation falling from trees, mountains and other untreated areas.
Most of the cleaning is taking place in less contaminated areas, but the government also launched pilot projects in 12 districts around the plant, most of them highly contaminated, in December. Major construction companies and others won government contracts to experiment with various methods to remove and compact the overwhelming volume of waste. Those found effective will be chosen for further cleanup starting in April.
The dozens of methods range from the relatively basic - soil removal and washing and scrubbing surfaces - to the more experimental, such as using chemicals to remove radioactive cesium from farmland, and dry ice to get it out of roads and other hard surfaces. Konoike Construction Co. has tested equipment that compresses soil into round waffle-like discs after absorbing moisture.
"It's largely trial and error," said Kazuaki Iijima, a radiation expert at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, which is supervising the pilot projects. "Decontamination means we are only moving contaminant from one place to another. We can at least keep it away from the people and their living space, but we can never get rid of it completely."

Nico Hülkenberg finished eighth at Interlagos and claimed four points, putting him tenth in the drivers' championship.
Nico Hulkenberg earlier was looking for a ride at Lotus but kept his options open with Force India and Sauber.
Nico Hülkenberg, yet again, made it into Q3 and qualified tenth. Esteban Gutiérrez was out in Q1 and qualified 18th.
When asked to name his options, Nico Hulkenberg answered: "Force India and Sauber."
Stefano Domenicali: "Nico is a great talent, but there are no agreements between him and us."
Esteban Gutiérrez was quite happy with his set-up on a track that was new for him, Nico Hülkenberg thinks there is still significant room for improvement.
Pastor Maldonado: "For sure they've been supporting me for a while but maybe they don't want to continue."
F1 remains Paul's top priority, but he is also not ruling out continuing his career elsewhere.
Esteban Gutiérrez is going to drive the track first time in reality.
Nico Hulkenberg may end up with Force India in 2014.
The Enstone based team has been open about its talks with Maldonado, but also clear is that his candidature.
"That's good news, isn't it?" Hulkenberg smiled after hearing about his options on Sunday, after finishing the US Grand Prix in a strong sixth place.
Esteban Gutiérrez was forced to start from 20th due to a grid penalty.
The wind was a challenge for the engineers as well as the drivers.
Vettel quickest with team-mate Webber second in final practice at COTA.
Lotus had a list of experience drivers whom they wanted to sub for Raikkonen, but their reserve driver was considered to be "too inexperienced".
Venezuelan oil minister Rafael Ramirez has hinted to the newspaper El Nacional that Pastor Maldonado's PDVSA millions are being switched from Williams to Lotus.
Nico Hulkenberg: "The car was ok and the performance is looking good too."
"The chances are the worst at Lotus. If you believe the rumours, Maldonado is already there." - Nico Hulkenberg
