Voter won't back anyone who votes to end dumpsters
Jun 3, 2014 - Roni Schweb, Riverton
I will say it here and now. I will not vote for any Riverton City Council or mayor candidate who votes to eliminate the trash collection in the dumpster our alley.
I live in a multi-generation household that includes a senior citizen. Not having the dumpster would change our lives negatively.
This is a terrible idea. I know there are other ways the city could save money, and I question whether this would even do that. But I do know that we count on this service and need our dumpster collection.

However, in order to handle 1080P, the cable needs to have a bandwidth of about 7GBPS. Most cables in the 40 - 70 USD price range are capable of this. For a TV that does 1080P and 120hz motion reproduction, you need at least 10Gbps speed. Only higher end cables from monster and a few store brands can do that.
A great HDMI cable for a reasonable price is the Rocketfish line from Best Buy. A 4f cable that can handle 1080P and the 120hz feature goes for around 60 USD. The equal from Monster is 130 USD. I am using rocketfish on my whole setup and it looks and sounds great.
Well that's what i'm talking about, a lot of people are going to be spending however much more on the monster cable when there's no point because as long as the cable is cabable of switching on and off quickly enough then there should be no problem.

Genchou : flashing the stock ROM is one easy way of unrooting
The question was asked a couple of times on this thread but no one answered it yet : is there a way to unroot the phone ?
I'd like to know if it is possible.

Edited by Genchou, 09 February 2013 - 01:20 PM.
Thanks for the answers.
Vache, your unroot package, do I have to install it through CWM ? Because I tried (used choose update from sdcard) and it did nothing, so maybe I didn't do it correctly. Could you explain shortly the steps to follow ?
edit : The Superuser app is still installed and I can access every folder with Astro. But some applications (like network spoofer) don't work anymore because the phone isn't rooted, apparently. So I'm a little confused here, is the phone unrooted ? Shouldn't I be unable to explore some folders with Astro then (eg /system and stuff) ? And I can't uninstall superuser app.

What is your image number and build number for the jelly bean?
I have received the official JB 4.1.2 update yesterday, and I'm thinking about rooting my phone now... Has anything changed now with the new firmware version or does this guide still perfectly fine?
but does the bootloader unlock stil work for this?
I don't think this methods works anymore as the kernel used to boot the phone is ICS and now we have JB.
Only way so far is to have CWM installed and flash a superuser. Or we'll have to wait for a dev to pick this up.
adb remount adb push Superuser.apk system/app/ adb push su system/xbin adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su exit

2013: Year of the Luigi
Hello fellow BlargNauts, KitsuneKyon here. As many of you know, today is Valentine's (or Single's Awareness) day and Nintendo's President, Satoru Iwata celebrated the romantic holiday by delivering the company's usual Nintendo Direct. Entitled Year of Luigi, a Luigi cap wearing Iwata started us off with a brief history lesson of the younger Mario brother, and his many supporting (and starring) roles in various games over the years. Being the loving holiday that it is, Nintendo showered our beloved number two player with lots of love by announcing what they had in store for him.
The first title discussed was the 3DS exclusive, Luigi's Manson: Dark Moon. Appearing to discuss the game for the first time ever on Nintendo Direct was Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of many beloved Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Zelda and Pikmin. In this segment, he gave us a developer's view on what they wanted to do with the title and how they approached it. Notable inclusions he talked about were the upgrades to the Poltergust 3000, the newly added multiplayer mode and of course, the fact that there will be multiple mansions to explore. Luigi's Manson: Dark Moon will hit store shelves March 24th.
The next title discussed was the grand unveiling of the next installment of the handheld Mario & Luigi RPG series. Entitled Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the game will be centered around a sleeping Luigi, and presumably the majority of the game will take place within his dreams. The only feature shown for the upcoming title was the ability to play around with Luigi's face on the bottom screen in order to solve puzzles within his dream, a nod to Mario 64's title screen. As always, more details about the game will come in due time, but until then, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team will have a release date of sometime this summer.
Being the ever talented Mario Bros, the next game discussed was another unveiling of the Mario Sports series: Mario Golf World Tour for the 3DS. Although this doesn't specifically star Luigi, he is nevertheless a main character in it. Not much else was revealed besides the title, and a tentative release date of sometime this summer.
To the surprise of many, Iwata also announced that New Super Mario Bros U will be getting its first major DLC. Entitled New Super Luigi U, the DLC will transform the 80+ levels into an entirely new game for our lanky green plumber to explore. Given that this is the first DLC of its kind to make such drastic changes, Iwata noted that it is being treated as a new game, and is currently slated for release on the Wii U eShop sometime this year.
As is accustomed in their Nintendo Direct, Iwata took some time out to unveil a new feature that will be implemented in the Wii U starting today. Noting that there were no communities for unreleased games, Iwata announced a Legend of Zelda open community, a community which is not tied to a specific game, but instead, a brand in general .
Despite Luigi being the main star of Nintendo Direct, other notable mentions were made for the remainder of the broadcast.
-Animal Crossing for the 3DS stars the player as a mayor of their own town. A few new features noted during the conference were the home showcase, and the ability to customize even further than previous installments of the series. The game comes to retail June 9th.
-Lego City Undercover for the Wii U will come to retail March 18th. Similarly, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins (which features the same world, but different story) for the 3DS will come to retail April 21st.
-Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, the action-puzzle game series, comes to the eShop in the near future
-Donkey Kong Country Returns will be heading to the 3DS sometime this summer
Sounds off below or within the forums on what you thought about Nintendo Direct's latest installment!

Get Ready to Catch em All For the Sixth Time!
Hello fellow BlargNauts, KitsuneKyon here. On Tuesday morning, Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata held the company's standard Direct conference, which is a known platform for its official statements. Entitled Pokemon Direct conference, Iwata officially revealed to the world the existence of the sixth generation of Satoshi Taijri's Pokemon!
However, that wasn't the only big reveal that Iwata had to offer. For the first time in the history of this franchise, Pokemon will engrave its legendary name into the very exclusive club of games that were given a simultaneous world wide release! To achieve such a historic milestone, Iwata noted that it took the development team behind Pokemon seven long years of collaboration to make a simultaneous worldwide release a reality. The sixth generation, entitled Pokemon X and Y, will hit store shelves sometime around October for the Nintendo 3DS handheld.
As is accustomed to Pokemon's reveals, Iwata showed off some of the notable improvements for the next title in the franchise. What we know at the moment is that X and Y will be done in a full 3D scale with CG cel shaded graphics, notably adding in details such as being able to swing from vines, and traverse the Paris inspired landscape with rollerblades. This conference also gave us the reveal of our three starter Pokemon, in addition to the two legendary Pokemon. The starters are named Chespin (grass), Fennekin (fire), and Froakie (water), and I am sure that more details will be released in the very near future. At the moment, we do not have the names for the legendary Pokemon, but screenshots of them can be found below (in addition to the starters).
The staff here is very excited for what new adventures await us in the sixth generation of Pokemon. Sound off in the comments below or in the forums on your thoughts and feelings of today's reveal.

NEW YORK (AP) - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been greeted with a scattering of boos and some cheers during a Super Bowl ceremony in New York City.
Christie didn't appear affected by the crowd's reaction during Saturday's ceremony in Times Square handing off the Super Bowl to next year's hosts in Glendale, Ariz.
The governor has been under fire after his top aides orchestrated traffic gridlock on the George Washington Bridge connecting New York and New Jersey as apparent political retribution.
Christie has denied knowledge of any plot.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also attended the handoff event.
Leaders of the New York-New Jersey Super Bowl organizing committee gave a platter to their Arizona counterparts.

Transcatheter Technologies Completes Testing of Repositionable TAVI Device
February 6, 2014
February 6, 2014 — Transcatheter Technologies GmbH, a medical device company, is developing a third-generation transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system, Trinity. An independent laboratory completed advanced wear testing (AWT) of the company's Trinity valve prosthesis. AWT of the Trinity heart valve has completed 600 million cycles, or an estimated 15 years of durability testing.
The Trinity aortic valve is designed to be positioned precisely or repositioned implantation.
"In our study, Trinity's sealing cuff continues to provide outstanding follow-up results without PVL (paravalvular leak), a frequent complication of TAVI," said Prof. Dr. Christian Hengstenberg, a cardiologist at the German Heart Center, Munich, Germany. "Equally important, the Trinity aortic valve is designed to reduce the risk of atrio-ventricular (AV) block significantly through supra-annular positioning of the Trinity valve."
The Trinity aortic valve prosthesis is comprised of a bovine pericardium valve with porcine pericardium-sealing cuff that is mounted on a self-expanding Nitinol frame. The valve is pre-mounted on a detachable catheter tip. Trinity's features enable controlled positioning and true repositioning without foreshortening. The valve prosthesis is protected during folding of the stent. This Zero Pressure Crimping is expected to improve valve durability and broaden the application of transcatheter valve implantations across a larger patient population.
Trinity is not approved for use in the United States.

SaaS Pricing Strategy: The Decoy Effect
In todays post I want to share with you a technique covered in Dan Ariely's book: Predictably Irrational known as The Decoy Effect. This is the exact same technique that has been used in top end restaurants for years to improve their revenue however in this post we will see how we can use it online instead.
Let's start with a simple if rather dated example from The Economist that looks at how they structured their pricing:
This is the exact same set of options that Ariely gave to 100 students at MIT's Sloan School of Management where he was teaching as a professor at the time. The students stated their preferences to the three options as shown in the graph below:
However when he tried the exact same experiment but this time removing the "Print Only" option from their list of choices he instead got a very different set of figures:
Before we move on, to put that experiment back into real world terms of what that would have meant for The Economist's figures. The second experiment with only the 2 options would have actually resulted in almost 30% less revenue for them. Now think for a moment of what that might mean to you if you happen to run a SaaS or some other kind of subscription business.
So how and why do decoy options work?
Despite their sincere beliefs to the contrary people very rarely possess the ability to choose things in absolute terms. In Ariely's words we don't have an internal value meter that tells us how much things are worth. Rather we focus on the relative advantage of one thing over another and estimate value accordingly. Additionally, for better or worse, most people don't even know what they want unless they see it in context.
The reality is that we tend to make almost off of these kinds of decisions based on little more than simple comparisons of like for like where we can and avoid trying to make choices between things that cannot be compared easily. Think about what that means to the example used above. The marketers at The Economist realised one key insight: people don't intuitively know in most cases if they want an online or print subscription to begin with. However, making the comparison between the perceived value of two can be difficult. It is for this exact reason that in order to get people to not just shop on price they needed a 3rd option to bridge the gap.
If you run a SaaS business or you run a subscription based business at all you might want to consider taking a deeper look into applying the decoy effect into your pricing strategy. Besides this is exactly the kind of thing that would make for a perfect A/B test.
P.S If anyone has used the decoy effect in their pricing strategy I would love to hear about how you found it to work in the comments below.
If you are interested in bringing world-class online marketing insights and analysis to your business you may want to consider working with me as a part of a new service I have launched called Easy Insights.
I currently only have a small number of positions left so get in touch if you would like to be a part of it now as I am likely raising my prices in the near future. Even if this service isn't for you check out how you can make $500 simply by referring a client to me.

So I've been reading up on the spec sheet for a few spare 15K seagate/HP SCSI hard drives I've got lying around, thought it'd be a good idea to sling them together for a software RAID0 (Please go and moan ELSEWHERE before even thinking of posting anything about RAID0 reliability - I don't care about it nor what you have to say about it).
So on said spec sheet there was mention that the 18.2GB SCSI drives are actually 23.5GB unformatted and that the extra data is used as spare blocks and whatnot, 18.2GB is the formatted size when the drive is setup with a block size of 512 bytes per sector, and the spec sheet says it can be changed to any even number between 512 and 704 - so I was interested to hear if anyone has ever changed the block size on a SCSI drive and any pros or cons they've got from doing so? There was mention on the man page of the linux utility sg_format (used for changing block size) of 'short stroking', reducing the block size to give you less space but much better performance.
So as these are kinda oldish 15Krpm 18.2GB Ultra 160 SCSI drives I was thinking of changing the block size to give around 20GB of space on each drive then installing arch linux on them using software RAID0.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone that's tried to do this or done it or had problems trying to do it (but again - no RAID0 reliability talk - read enough threads from all over the internet where something is asked about RAID0 and every response is exactly the same saying 'dont do it bad reliability')

The cost of a university degree would rocket under Business Secretary Vince Cable's proposals to tax university graduates, according to figures released today.
The Vice-Chancellors of the UK's leading universities have triggered a negative reaction by calling on the new government to lift the cap on tuition fees.
Students and academics have called on the Liberal Democrats not to abandon their opposition to increases in university tuition fees now that they are in coalition with the Tory Party.

Understanding Single Event Effects (SEEs) in FPGAs
With the increasing popularity of programmable logic, FPGAs are finding their way into many applications that were once the territory of ASICs and ASSPs. At the same time, process nodes are shrinking and logic density is increasing, meaning that more of the system can be implemented in a single device. As programmable logic finds its way into avionics, communications and medical applications, designers face demands for increased reliability and safety over many of the traditional markets for FPGAs.
In these high-reliability markets, there has long been concern over the effect of ionizing radiation on memory circuits; however, its impact on programmable logic is not widely understood by the engineering community—nor is it broadly known that not all FPGA technologies share the same risks. With the focus on reliability and safety in these markets, designers must quantify these risks and understand how differing FPGA technologies react in this environment.

IMAGINE being able to manipulate images on a screen by thought alone. That's the tantalising prospect raised by a brain-machine interface that lets you control which of two competing images you can see on a screen.
Moran Cerf at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, and colleagues recruited 12 volunteers who had electrodes implanted in their brains to record epileptic seizures. That meant the team could record activity in the normally inaccessible medial temporal lobe. The MTL houses the hippocampus and amygdala, which are involved in memory and emotions.
Cerf first talked to each person about their interests and recent experiences - the concepts making up their recent memories.
His team then created a database of images to correspond to those concepts, such as a picture of the Eiffel Tower for a person who recently visited Paris, France. Next each person had their brain activity recorded as they looked at 100 of those pictures six times. The team could then identify the individual neurons that fired in response to each image.
The team then chose two images for each person that caused firing in different individual neurons. The two pictures were superimposed, and the person asked to control the strength of each image by focusing on the concepts related to each picture. A brain-machine interface translated the neural activity related to an image so that it was portrayed more or less vividly on the screen. In 70 per cent of tests, volunteers were able to bring one image to the fore (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature09510).
Although humans and monkeys can already control the movement of a robotic arm via the brain's motor cortex, this is the first time anyone has been able to tap into the neurons associated with individual concepts.
Fabien Lotte at the Institute for Infocomm Research in Singapore says the findings could be useful clinically. "A paralysed person could increase the activity in a neuron that corresponds to the person they want to call, for example," Lotte says.

More so than usual, the Twitter reactions to the Josh Brent intoxication manslaughter were extremely mixed. Most people were completely unsympathetic and were bashing Brent for the horrible decision he made. Take @TallAsIWanna_B for example: Damn Cowboys NT Josh Brent you let dat alcohol f*ck yo life away…. killed yo teammate bru smdh. Others didn't put it so nicely, like @nsenatore22: Josh Brent u piece of sh*ts ****** RIP Jerry Brown #dallascowboys #12/8/12. Then you have the real idiots, the ones who are totally disregarding the tragedy and only thinking about football. Look at @************* with this moronic tweet: Free josh Brent, f*ck the law we cowboys. Filed under: Football, NFL

It's Time to Think Pink
Popular Women's Center Event Features Demos, Screenings and Physician Q&A
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It also is an excellent opportunity to get answers to important women's health questions during the Washington Women's Center's "Think Pink: Quilting Together a Better Life" event on Thursday, Oct. 13.
The special event will take place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Tent Atrium at Washington West, located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. Attendees are invited to wear pink and join in an evening of educational lectures, booths, health screenings and fun activities.
This year's quilting theme reflects the diversity of women as well as the many facets of their lives, according to Women's Center Clinical Coordinator Kathy Hesser, R.N.
"I think the quilt symbolizes women and the fact that women come in all colors, sizes and backgrounds," she explains. "Also, the act of quilting in itself brings together a lot of little pieces to make a beautiful quilt, just as this event will bring together all the little pieces women need to make a healthy life."
The quilt also is literally represented at the Washington Women's Center, she points out. A beautiful "quilt" of colored glass is on display in the Women's Center, which has inspired one the activities that will take place during the event.
"This year we have cardstock in the shape of a quilt square, as well as paper and stickers so that attendees can make their own quilt square for our display board, which will hang in the lobby of Washington West during the month of October to celebrate breast health," Hesser says.
Last year's event was very well attended and Hesser expects as many as 200 participants this year. Physician speakers and topics will include:
- Update: Washington Women's Center and Breast Health Support, presented by William E. Dugoni Jr., M.D., Surgeon, Medical Director, Washington Women's Center, Washington Hospital Medical Staff
- Oncoplastic Breast Surgery: New Techniques for Better Outcomes, presented by Andrea French, M.D., Surgeon, Washington Hospital Medical Staff
- California Breast Cancer Research Program, presented by Marion H. E. Kavanaugh–Lynch M.D., M.P.H. Director, California Breast Cancer Research Program
The event will also feature radiologists, surgeons and oncologists from the Women's Center's breast health team, who will be available to talk to attendees about breast health, something Hesser says was very popular last year.
"I found that people actually went to each table, visited all the booths and asked questions," she says. "We had breast health literature and that went right away. Plus, attendees really enjoyed being able to speak with some of the mammogram staff and the doctors. It was a great, great event last year, and we hope to repeat the positive feedback we received last year!"
In addition, the event also will feature:
- Nurses from the Washington On Wheels (W.O.W.) Mobile Health Clinic, who will be performing osteoporosis and blood pressure screenings
- Staff members from the hospital's Laboratory Department, who will offer blood sugar and cholesterol screening
- Members of the Maternal/Child Education Department, who will talk about the benefits of breastfeeding
- Registered dietitians, who will give out healthy food recipes, as well as healthy samples for people to taste
- Bras for Body & Soul and other image enhancement programs and services for women undergoing breast cancer treatment
- An American Cancer Society representative available to answer questions
- Upper back and hand massages from the center's licensed massage therapy staff
- Gentle yoga demonstrations
- Light refreshments
- Question and answer with the physician speakers
The focus on breast health is very simple, according to Hesser. Only very recently—in the last 20 to 30 years—has breast health really become acceptable to address in public, which is part of the reason why the Women's Center puts on events like Think Pink.
"Mammograms are only 40 years old," she says. "And usually when women were diagnosed before screening came about, the cancer had spread all through your body, so the survival rate wasn't there. Then, once we started mammograms and women—even some famous women—started talking about fighting breast cancer and giving money toward research, the message became, 'We don't want to die from breast cancer.'
"Still, even today, people don't know about the anatomy of the breast and what's normal in texture and appearance. Any lack of knowledge is worrisome, so it's great for people attending Think Pink to be able to talk with professionals who deal with this subject everyday and learn about research and treatments."
Hesser encourages women of all ages—in fact all members of the community—to come learn more about breast health and how to quilt together a better, healthier life.

Investing to save rainforests:
An interview with Hylton Murray-Philipson of Canopy Capital
Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com
April 2, 2008
Profit-seeking capitalists to save rainforests?
Hylton Murray-Philipson, director of Canopy Capital, says the agreement — which returns 80 percent of the proceeds to the people of Guyana — could set the stage for an era where forest conservation is driven by the pursuit of profit rather than overt altruistic concerns.
Hylton Murray-Philipson, founding director of Canopy Capital
Murray-Philipson believe the market will soon see the development of an entirely new class of financial products tied to the value of ecosystem services provided by forests. He suggests that a weighted index based on the properties of global forests could someday help fund managers determine the economic value of a given forest anywhere the world as well as provide incentives for conservation.
"The index would include blocks of forest all over the world and be based on an established set of criteria that would apply to all forests," he explained. "For example, say you have ten different elements and each element can score 10 for a maximum score of 100. If the forest is preserving an indigenous culture, that would be one element. Others might include degree of threat, the presence endemic or endangered species, the potential for eco-tourism or sustainable harvesting of forest products, whether the forest is a corridor for biodiversity migration or rainfall generation, quality of governance, and whether local people benefit from the conservation arrangement. The index would incorporate all of the characteristics to create a yardstick by which forests around the world could be measured to give a degree of uniformity for the investor and also maintain the diversity within the asset class, which is of course the great characteristic of the forest."
The Iwokrama Reserve, Guyana - view from Turtle Mountain
Over the course of two phone interviews with mongabay.com, Murray-Philipson discussed the Iwokrama deal [Private equity firm buys rights to ecosystem services of Guyana rainforest] and his outlook for payments for ecosystem services.
An interview with Hylton Murray-Philipson
Mongabay: How's the response been to the announcement of the deal in Iwokrama?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: It's absolutely endless. The interest is quite extraordinary.
Mongabay: What was your motivation for the Guyana deal?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: My motivation for doing any deal anywhere comes from my perception of where we are in the world. I feel we are at a crossroads. I think this is the last moment we have as a species to take remedial action before we are very soon on a path that is committed to significant climate change.
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
Mongabay: Why Guyana?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: I originally tried to do something in Brazil. I lived there for 5 years when I setting up an investment bank 20 years ago. I know my way around, speak the language and obviously I know that even if we won the battles in the Guyanas, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, and we lose Brazil, essentially we lose the war. So I started out in Brazil, but the Brazilian perspective on this is very complicated. Yes, Brazil has come a long way — just two years ago they were vetoing essentially all the international debate about forests and to talk about things about forests was just not on — but even now the country is not embracing market-based solutions. They tried to do government to government payments — which didn't win wide support — before floating their own idea of what market based solutions are, but to be honest, these don't respond to any market that I know. At the end of the day, the lack of sort of legal definitions at the federal level makes it very difficult.
So when I came across Iwokrama in Guyana I thought, this is the answer to all my prayers — it's really a jewel in the crown. In Guyana we have the head of state, President Bharrat Jagdeo, openly saying, "Hey guys, please come and help me because I'm at a very interesting point in my country's development." Guyana was a complete financial basket-case in terms of spending 94 percent of government income on debt service, but now the debt has been written off and the country is wondering where it goes from here. Guyana is also not on the forefront of destruction — it's not like trying to go into Para or Mato Grosso. My feeling is if you can't save the low-hanging fruit, what are you going to be able to do anywhere?
When you engage people in these issues and they say "OK fine, I agree with your perspective, but now what will I invest in?" you quickly find there's nothing you can invest in. Moving in and buying up chunks of land in these countries is the immediate reaction people tend to have but this isn't the answer — there's not enough money and it's politically, socially, and morally very unacceptable.
In Iwokrama you have the head of state who's supportive, you have 12 years international governance, you have the partnership with the Commonwealth, you have the patronage of the Prince of Wales, you have the English language, you have the rule of law, and you've got a country basically half way between Brazil and the United States that has very dense, very rich, and very beautiful forests. If you can't make something work in Guyana, I'm not sure you are going to ever make it work anywhere. So that's a long-winded way of saying why it has to be Guyana.
Mongabay: Where do you see the market going? Do you expect it to move beyond carbon to value other ecosystem services like water?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: There are different ways of looking at ecosystem services. You could, for example, split up the water rights and sell them to Cargill, soy growers in Mato Grosso, residents of Lima (Peru) and whomever else is benefiting from the water generated by the Amazon rainforest. The water company in Sao Paulo or Georgia would be classic examples. Let me explain. There have been very powerful studies that link the Amazon rainforest to precipitation in North America, so the case can be made that the forest of Guyana plays a key economic role in the U.S. Similarly, last year Argentina saw power shortages and drought because rainfall from the Amazon didn't make it as far down as usual. Meanwhile Brazil has $58 billion in agricultural exports last year and roughly 70 percent of the country's electricity generation came from hydroelectric. If you don't have rain, it directly affects power and agricultural production, essential components of the economy. Another way of looking at it is to compare rainforests to a giant utility — if you do not pay your utility bill, your power and water are going to get cut off.
However the real value of ecosystem services is in everything is bundled together. It is the sheer complexity and diversity of life that gives forests their value. So yes, I think we are moving beyond carbon. Of course, carbon is not incidental. In Guyana you do lock up upwards of 100 tons of carbon — possibly even double that or more — per hectare.
Mongabay: Beyond the entities you mention, who else will pay for these environmental services? Do you see the insurance industry as a potential customer? Where do governments of industrialized countries fit into the equation?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: Insurance companies may be a key part to this market since they are already dealing with weather related risks in places like Florida.
Kaieteur Falls outside the Iwokrama Reserve, Guyana
Insurance could also be a way through which a group of G-8 governments could get together and decide that they alone are going to lead the world in saving rainforests. They could mandate that all insurance in their markets will include some amount of money for rainforest conservation around the world. There is a fundamental equity in it. If you have a Lear jet, a big yacht, or a huge home, you've got more to insure and have to pay more. But your impact on the environment is also more and I think that is fair and just. If you have little then you aren't going to pay as much. What point is it becoming a billionaire if the roof of your house falls on your head because you didn't maintain it?
Mongabay: Are you looking at other parts of the world or are you going to focus on Guyana to make it work there first?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: I think we're going to try to make it work in Guyana first.
I think the next thing we might get into is what I would describe as a "weighting" scheme for forests so that we can develop a real asset class to appeal to a fund manager who's never seen a rainforest in his life but decides that rainforests are a good thing to invest in. An index is a perfect vehicle for this.
Amazon rainforest canopy in Peru.
An advantage to the rating system is that it could promote the development of new reserves and conservation areas. For example, if you are a twenty-something year old with a love for nature and a sharp mind it would become worth your while to go to a difficult part of the world to try to "improve" a forest area by forming relationships with local beneficiaries to bring them on board, stopping illegal logging, and conducting a biodiversity survey. These actions would basically up your score in the weighting system, thereby making the forest more valuable. It's a way of harnessing the profit motive to actually get things done. The index makes it easy for the fund manager to buy into this market.
Mongabay: So you do believe this will be a policy-driven market to some extent?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: At some stage I believe some sort of global agreement the recognizes the importance of rainforests will have to take comes into force. I don't think this will be the Kyoto Process which is emissions-based. We will need to move beyond emissions-based thinking.
The thinking behind this investment is that the world is eventually going to understand the value of forests in ensuring rainfall, housing biodiversity, and fighting climate change. If we see $20 per hectare per year in compensation for Iwokrama, its inhabitants, the Makushi tribe, as well as the people of Guyana would benefit. Our firm would also make a profit but 80 percent of the increase in value would accrue to the inhabitants of the reserve.
Mongabay: Your tag line is "driving capital to the canopy" — can you elaborate on your investment philosophy?
Hylton Murray-Philipson: I called the company Canopy Capital because I didn't want to have anything to do with carbon — this is really not about carbon, it is about life. How do you put a price on life?
Money is the the means to an end, not the end itself. I feel we've lost our way in a world in which over 50% of people live in cities, cut off from nature.

It has gained a small cult following due to its mature storytelling, adult themes and (in later versions) voice acting.
A series of projects yet to be announced are currently in production and are tentatively titled Project 'S'; for now only a radio drama has been confirmed.
Fifty years later, a breed of artificial life-forms or bioroids known as "snatchers" began appearing in the artificial island of Neo Kobe City, killing their victims and taking their place in society. Nobody knows exactly what they are or where they come from. As Gillian Seed, an amnesiac working for an Anti-Snatcher task force called J.U.N.K.E.R., the player's goal is to track down the source of the snatchers and discover Gillian's mysterious connections with them.
''Note: All spellings used are from the English-language Sega CD version.
Snatcher was first released in 1988 for the NEC PC-8801 (on November 26) and MSX2 (December 13) computer platforms. The first versions were released on floppy disks and were entirely text-based with no voice acting. The MSX version came packaged with a proprietary audio cartridge to match the music and sound effects of the PC-88 version. Due to time constraints, the developers were forced to truncate the story at the end of Act 2, leaving out the originally planned ending. Konami released a spinoff titled SD Snatcher for the MSX2 on April 27, 1990. SD Snatcher, an RPG, features an alternate version of the original Snatcher storyline with its own ending.
Snatcher was remade on CD-ROM for the PC Engine under the title of Snatcher: CD-ROMantic, released on October 23, 1992. This version, in addition to offering improved graphics and audio, added voice acting during key portions of the game, as well as Act 3, the planned ending that was not included in the early PC versions. Konami preceded release of Snatcher with a Pilot Disk (released on August 7) containing a playable portion of the game, a trailer-like preview, a database of characters and mechanics of the game, among other features. This was the last version of the game developed by the original team, including Hideo Kojima himself.
In 1996, Snatcher was ported to the PlayStation (February 12) and Sega Saturn (March 29). These two 32-bit versions added slightly redone graphics, a CG animated opening and other subtle changes (most of them derived from the English Sega CD version). Most of the graphic violence were censored in these versions and some of the graphics and all of the music were redone.
An English localization of Snatcher was produced for the Sega CD (or Mega-CD) in North America and Europe, both versions released on December 1994. The Sega CD port was produced specifically for the overseas market and was ported from the PC Engine version. The script was translated by Scott T. Hards, with Jeremy Blaustein (who would later translate Metal Gear Solid) supervising the localization. This version adds support for Konami's Justifier light gun peripheral for the shooting segments.
Several changes were made to conform with the different censorship standards outside Japan, mainly due to sexual content. Katrina's age was changed from 14 in the Japanese version to 18 in the English version (due to a nude shower scene she has in the game) and the exposed breast of a dead Snatcher was covered up. A scene featured in the PC Engine, which depicts a dying dog twitching with its internal organs exposed was redone so the dog is no longer twitching. The clientele at the Outer Heaven night club, which were originally parodies of popular sci-fi characters, were changed to Konami characters to avoid any potential copyright infringement. The naked Snatchers were also redesigned to lessen the resemblance with the Terminator robot: their endoskeletons were repainted with olive-colored body parts and their red eyes were changed to green.
The Sega CD version adds an extended opening intro (adapted from the introductory manga story featured in the manual) and Act 3 was revised to allow more interaction with the player. The ending is extended with the addition of Katrina and Mika in the game's final scene, as well as a cameo from Napoleon.
According to Blaustein, the Sega CD version of Snatcher only sold a "couple of thousand units" in North America. He attributes the game's commercial failure due to Sega's waning support of the add-on at the time of the game's release.

Two members of the state Senate Education Committee confirmed Friday that a passed House bill that would force consolidation of Oktibbeha County and Starkville City schools had not been introduced for consideration since the bill was referred to the committee Feb. 20.
The deadline for committee action is Tuesday, meaning H.B. 716 would die on the calendar if members do not vote to pass the bill to the full Senate by then.
As of Saturday, the committee is not scheduled to convene again until Tuesday at 9 a.m., according to the Senate committee schedule.
The Miss. House Education Committee passed the bill initially filed by Republican Rep. Toby Barker Jan. 31 before the full House passed it by a 107-6 vote Feb. 13.
The state took over the Oktibbeha County School District last September and placed it under conservatorship after continued failing state test scores at the high schools.
Calls made throughout the week to Senate Education Committee Chair Gray Tollison and Vice Chair Nancy Adams Collins were not returned, but two committee members who returned calls said if the bill was introduced by the Tuesday deadline for a committee vote, they would support passing the bill to the full Senate. Eight of the committee's 15 members must vote in support of the bill for that to happen. The deadline for the full Senate to vote on the bill would be March 13 if it reached the floor.
Republican Dist. 1 Sen. Chris Massey said one reason for the bill not yet being introduced for a committee vote was that several double refer bills — legislation recommended for referral to two committees — were presented to the education committee last week, and those tend to take precedence over bills only referred to one committee.
Massey represents DeSoto County, which has the largest school system in the state. He said he would vote in favor of consolidating OCSD and Starkville School District.
"I think consolidating the administrative part of the school districts (into one) would be beneficial for the district by having more dollars that can go into the classroom," Massey said. "Unless something was to change (in the bill), as the merits are today I would be in favor."
Democrat Dist. 24 Sen. David Jordan said he would also support the legislation.
"Many times I would be against consolidation but I can see how this would be important to upgrade the education of the (county) students. Hearing from some of the individuals in the county, students would get a better education if the schools were consolidated because right there in Starkville the school district is much better but in Oktibbeha County they're not faring as well," Jordan said. "I was in (public education) for 33 years myself, and I know when things that should be done are not being done. After two times under conservatorship, it's time to do something else rather than risking having a third time. Something is constantly not being corrected based on the number of conservators the state has put in place there."
Democrat Dist. 10 Sen. Steve Hale said he had seen similar situations regarding school systems in his district going under conservatorship, including Tate County School District and North Panola School District — the latter currently under its second conservatorship. He said he would like to hear the merits of H.B. 716 before choosing which way he'll vote, but his decision would be based on what he believed was best for the students in the Oktibbeha County and Starkville area.
"Students, parents and taxpayers in a school district that is failing deserve better from public education. There comes times when drastic measures have to be taken," Hale said. "Our responsibility as policy makers is that we provide the best in public education that we can."
The amount of support of the bill between city and county stakeholders has been uneven. During its Feb. 18 recess meeting, the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors voted in favor of drafting a written statement supporting whatever action Mississippi legislature takes. Board President Orlando Trainer has also been a vocal supporter of consolidation.
In a letter to the editor published by Starkville Daily News on Feb. 20, members of the Starkville School District PTO Executive Council, Parents for Public Schools Starkville Executive Board and Starkville Foundation for Public Education Executive Board, voiced opposition to the bill, asking the Senate to delay action on the bill to allow for more time to explore "how best to achieve a successful solution that benefits children in both districts."
"We understand that problems facing the Oktibbeha County School District are complex and have been beyond the ability of the State Department of Education to adequately address. We share concerns about the children in that district," the organizations' representatives stated in the letter. "However, we do not believe simply folding the Oktibbeha County School District into the Starkville School District without any forethought or planning will produce the desired results. In fact, we believe that such action would create additional problems rather than producing a workable solution."

What Annoys you about your Adventure 1190?

Mine had 2 major things that annoyed me; suspension was not up to the standard of my 990, it was hard and choppy on the gravel, bottomed out when I jumped the bike, even after playing with the settings I was not satisfied! I suppose there is no substitute for travel, the 220mm travel compared to the 265mm of my 990R just doesn't work for me.
Secondly the ultra soft front rim, bends and buckles for virtually any lurker or rut causing instant deflation due to the tubeless st up, resulting in some hair raising moments trying to stay in control of the bike!
In Africa we ride our bikes hard on rough unforgiving terrain which is remote and far from KTM back-up, so maybe the bike copes better in Europe and North America than here!
The result is that I sold the bike with less than 1000km and went back to my 990R!
Must say in the 1190's defense, it was otherwise better than the 990 in everything else, power, performance, brakes, comfort, handling, consumption all better than the 990!
The suspension was what I couldn't live with though!
PS; It also doesn't have the character that the 990 has...............the 990 is another animal that always excites and thrills!
Riding Africa's lesser traveled tracks, discovering true adventure!

After my first degree in Psychology I became very interested in Cognition, Language and especially Child Language. By various routes I ended up taking a Masters degree in Philosophy and Psychology of Language, this opened up a whole new world of Ontology and Cognition, and for a while I became very interested in Primate Cognition and Primate Thought and for many years I carried around inside my head what it is to be a Rational Animal. Meanwhile I got on with my life and went to live as you do in New Zealand, Japan, and spent some time in Mongolia. Upon my return to the UK after several years working in the Psychology department and even the Parapsychology department at Edinburgh University I became the manager of Visual Impairment Scotland, and created the first UK child visual impairment notification system. I also became the Head of the Scottish Sensory Centre and during this tenure not only did a fulfil an ambition of mine to write a PhD on Primate Thought, I went to Australia for 18 months to the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children to develop and create Australia's first visual impairment notification system.

Getting Rashard back would be a boostPosted by on October 1, 2012 – 7:56 pm
It was back to business for the Steelers on Monday, after a four-day break for the bye week, and as they prepare for the Philadelphia Eagles the hope is they will get some of their injured players back on the field Sunday.
Among those who haven't played yet this season, but whose return would be a huge boost to the offense, is running back Rashard Mendenhall. Mendenhall has been out since suffering an ACL injury at the end of last season and his presence could help a ground game that is averaging only 65 yards per game through three games.
"Rashard is one of the best in the league," said wide receiver Mike Wallace. "When you get a guy back like that who is very explosive, has really good feet, a lot of vision, it's going to boost our team."
While his teammates talk about a potential return for him, Mendenhall still isn't sure if he will be ready to play this week.
"I can't say that," said Mendenhall. "I am just trying to improve and take it one day at a time. We are all gauging it, going through it. When the time is ready I think we all need to be clear on it. We're just taking it one day at a time. We will see."
Mendenhall said he is preparing the same this week as he did week one of the season when he wasn't able to play, but he is definitely making progress and benefitted from the days off during the bye week.
"It felt good," said Mendenhall. "We are back at it, still taking it one day at a time. I've been improving every day. I am going to continue to work and prepare for the game, like I have every week."
Safety Troy Polamalu hasn't played since the first week of the season in Denver, and linebacker James Harrison has been sidelined all season as well. Polamalu, like Mendenhall, took advantage of the rest during the bye week.
"The more time off, the better," said Polamalu. "It was a pretty early bye week for us but hopefully we can get some momentum going and we will see how this week turns out for us."
Polamalu, who also didn't comment on his status for this Sunday, instead deferring to Coach Mike Tomlin on whether or not he will be able to play, said he doesn't know what kind of impact having him or Harrison back on the field will have on the defense until it actually happens.
"I don't know," said Polamalu. "We will see once we all get on the field together. There are some other new faces out there that have become starters. It's about how all 11 guys are playing together."

Krauel Hired as Head Coach of Men's Tennis Team
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University has hired Toby Krauel as the head coach for its men's tennis team. He will begin working at Willamette immediately. Krauel previously was the head coach at Gonzaga University for seven years (1993-00) and was an assistant coach at the University of Portland for one year (1990-91).
"We are excited about adding Toby to coach our men's tennis team," said Mark Majeski, director of athletics. "He did an excellent job of upgrading Gonzaga's tennis program and has shown tremendous commitment to tennis, both as a player and as a coach."
Krauel graduated from Portland in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He also holds a law degree from the Gonzaga University School of Law (1994). He currently serves as an adjunct professor in the School of Law at Lewis & Clark College.
He played tennis as an undergraduate and achieved the West Coach Conference Scholar-Athlete Award in 1988-89 and 1989-90. He was Portland's Most Inspirational Tennis Player three times.
Krauel continues to be active as a tennis player. He was ranked third in the United States for Men's 35 Doubles in 2004 and 2005. At the same time, he was ranked 23rd in the U.S. in Men's 35 Singles. In 2006, he ranked seventh in the nation in Men's 35 Doubles. He was ranked #1 in the Pacific Northwest in Men's 35 Doubles in 2005 and 2006.
In addition to participating in competitive tennis, Krauel is an active distance runner. He has completed six marathons.
As a coach at Gonzaga, he built a competitive team after taking over a program that was struggling prior to his arrival. He put together a tough schedule for the Bulldogs and served as the first tennis liaison between the West Coach Conference and the men's tennis coaches. Krauel also has been an instructor since 2005 at the Linfield Tennis Camp and Academy.
The Willamette men's tennis team reached the semifinals of the Northwest Conference Tournament each of the past two seasons. Both times, WU entered the tournament seeded #5 and won its first round match over the #4 seed. This year, the Bearcats edged Whitworth in the first round, 5-4, before falling to eventual champion Whitman College in the semifinals, 6-3, and losing to Linfield College in the third place match, 6-3.
In dual matches, Willamette was 8-8 in the NWC this spring, while going 9-11 overall. In 2006-07, the Bearcats also went 8-8 in the conference and finished 10-12 on the season.
"I'm really excited to take over a program that's been heading in the right direction the last few years," Krauel said. "And I want to bring my experience from Gonzaga to Willamette at the Division III level and hopefully develop a team that can compete for Northwest Conference championships and qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
"I think that Willamette is a great opportunity to build a strong tennis program," Krauel added. "It's a solid university academically and it's located in a city that has a significant history in tennis. I'm committed to establishing a strong program. I'm not just going to be here for a year or two."

A new iPhone app called "App Trailers" allows users to earn a variety of different gift cards just by watching iOS app video trailers.
The application is quite a good idea. As outlined by TechCrunch, users get points when they watch an app trailer on their mobile device. The same amount of points are rewarded to the user, regardless of whether the advertised app is purchased or not.
Once users of App Trailers have accrued a set amount of points, it's possible to spend those points on gift cards. According to TechCrunch:
Rewards include a $1 Amazon gift card (100 points), a $5 REI gift card (500 points), $10 gift cards from Crate&Barrel, Fandango or Macy's (1,000 points) and $25 gift cards from Nike, Nordstrom or Pottery Barn (2,500 points).
Obviously, it'll take a while for users to earn themselves enough points to buy a valuable reward. But if you've got some spare time on your hands, it might be worth watching the occasional app trailer in between multiplayer rounds of Infinity Blade.
As mentioned, App Trailers is currently available to download in the App Store for free. Take a look at the app, and let us know if you've earned enough points to buy yourself a gift voucher in the comments below.

Topless Photos of Kate Middleton Published: Royals May Sue Over "Grotesque" Privacy Breach
Jeez. It's OK if we don't immediately confirm if Kate Middleton's pregnant, guys. No need to storm the castle or use a long lens to get shots of her naked body.
But that seems to be what just happened. A French publication called Closer printed pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge that show her topless while on holiday at the French chateau owned by the queen's nephew. According to the BBC, there are four pages of photos of the Duke and Duchess (Wills and Kate), with Kate topless in several images.
A spokesman for the Prince of Wales office said the Duke and Duchess "have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner. The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so."
The royals are reportedly consulting with lawyers to consider what legal options they may have against the publication.
When Prince Harry got naked in Vegas, some considered it just a guy having fun while others called it a reckless embarrassment for the royal family. This incident is less embarrassing than infuriating for Kate and Wills — since she didn't exactly invite strangers into the chateau, where they took pics of her with camera phone then spread them around. This is like some creepy guy way down the street using a zoom lens to watch you sunbathe in your pool, then sharing the pics with the world.

|Mosaic Tropical Fish...$30
This fish is made on 1/4" MDF (Medium
Density Fiberboard). I drew a pattern
on the board and then used a jigsaw to
cut it out. I would recommend this for
inside use only. I can also make it using
plywood which would hold up better
outside. All of the stained glass is hand
cut and grouted with black grout. The
eye of the fish is a solid black glass
nugget. The piece has been sealed with
grout sealer and it has a sawtooth hanger
on the back for hanging. It measures
around 11"X10".

from sheets of stained glass and the grout has been sealed. The
back has 2 sawtooth hangers and has been painted black. The
top width of the butterfly is 20", bottom width is 13 1/2", and
the height is around 11".

A wooden, plain frame comes to life with this winding flower
mosaic pattern. I hand cut all the tiles and designed a cute

That idea now seems naive, not least because of the rise in antibiotic resistance. And there's another reason that no one even considered back then. A growing number of diseases that were thought to be down to genetics or lifestyle turn out to have an infectious origin.
Take stomach ulcers. Long thought to be triggered by stress, it emerged in the 1980s that many cases are caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. Now a short course of antibiotics is all that's needed to cure the condition, and in the west stomach ulcers are on the decline.
Since then, researchers have unearthed the unexpected infectious origins of several other diseases. In some the explanation is unique, but in others common mechanisms are at work.
For example, several autoimmune diseases arise because infection with a microbe triggers an immune attack, which cross-reacts with similar molecules from the host, causing the immune system to attack human tissues. And several cancers may be caused by viruses, sometimes because they insert themselves into our DNA and disrupt the genes that usually stop cells multiplying out of control.
The idea that lifelong conditions such as type 1 diabetes and obesity could be caught as easily as a cold is spine-chilling. Yet it raises the tantalising possibility that they could be treated with antibiotics or antiviral drugs, or possibly even prevented with a vaccine. So which of the following illnesses will be next to go the way of stomach ulcers?
Breast cancer
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Prostate cancer

Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA)
The Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) is responsible for providing funds for public access projects and to protect and re-establish the natural ecological functions of aquatic lands within Washington State. In 1984 the Washington State Legislature created ALEA to ensure that revenue generated from state-owned aquatic land leases went back to helping restore aquatic environments. Aquatic Lands include, bedlands, tidelands, shore lands, beds of navigable lakes, rivers, streams and harbor areas. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) restoration and conservation program has worked on several projects that have improved ecological sustainability around the Puget Sound and water bodies of Washington.
