IN 2005, nature tourism contributed to nearly 16 per cent of Zambian exports, 6.5 per cent of GDP, seven per cent of Government revenues, 10 per cent of formal sector employment and nearly six per cent of wages.
Taking into account other types of tourism outside nature tourism, the economic contribution of the industry is likely to be even greater. From 1997 to 2008, receipts from international tourists averaged 5.4 per cent of total exports.
And since then, the tourism sector has been expanding. The number of international tourists in Zambia increased by 7.7 per cent, from 756,860 arrivals in 2006 to just more than 800,000 in 2010. Revenue from international tourists grew from US$29 million in 1997 to $146 million in 2008, so it is on an upward trend.
However, to put this in its regional context, in 2009, Africa welcomed 90 million international tourists. Of this total, only 10 per cent came to Zambia.
Government's goal was to increase tourist arrivals to four million and tourism direct earnings to $224 million in 2010, and then to $550 million by 2015. Are we there yet?
In 2010, Zambia's earnings from tourism was about $125 million, while in Zimbabwe it was $634 million, in Tanzania it was $1.2 billion and Kenya received $1.6 billion (WTO, 2010). So, we can get there, but there remains a ways to go.
Given the dearth of current data, if we use income from hunting as a proxy for tourism earning potential, given a large proportion of Zambia's tourism revenues comes from wild life and parks- Zambia's income from hunting is still the lowest among the countries below.
We do not have complete data sets for the full income earned and jobs created in this sector, but based on the data and evidence available, the true potential remains untapped and very high.
Today, wild life and parks as central to Zambia's tourism sector, is not competitive and does not have a significant share in the regional market (South Africa receives $16 per hectare; Zambia in 2011 received $1.4/hectare).
What can make a difference to this picture? First, it is about, putting forest, water and wild life conservation and management the heart of the long-term vision of growth and prosperity for Zambia.
Secondly, local communities must be more directly engaged in the management of natural resources, they must be the social watch mechanism to protect and manage what is theirs, and also be held responsible for doing so.
Thirdly, local and national leaders must demonstrate the courage and commitment to regulate illegal hunting, encroachment and deforestation.
Well-regulated hunting, responsible land use planning, promoting renewable energy use and sustainable agricultural practices and planting back the trees lost and then many, many more, with the active and responsible participation also of the private sector,can and will make a difference.
If these are elements of a national conservation strategy, the country can generate jobs and incomes from its tourism and natural resources sectors for a long while to come.
The time is now to reclassify protected areas and have distinct standards, regulations and management arrangements for each location.
This also requires more current data, so evidence-based decisions can be made. For the tourism sector to grow and be increasingly competitive in the region, Zambia needs to attract new visitors.
Zambia needs to market itself better outside of the country, through its foreign embassies and its partners. Today, Zambia is an expensive destination which is little-known.
There is also need to reduce in-country travel costs and transport options to encourage more domestic tourism.There are many more wonderful treasures out there that are yet to be accessed, including gorges and waterfalls, cultural sites and practices.
To do this, people need to know, package and brand what the country has and can proudly display.
The growth potential of this sector is based on its employment and wealth creation opportunity, for both current and future generations.
And in particular, the generation of green jobs which will be the mainstay of a job rich growth. So what can be done today?
We can begin by updating the Law.The legislation surrounding Parks and GMAs has not been updated since -1999.
This includes the Lands Act, Heritage Act, Agriculture Act and the Forestry Act (the Fisheries Act was updated in 2011).
In revising the legislation, priority issues to consider include carbon sequestration being defined as a tradable commodity, the inclusion of new categories of protected areas and a renewed institutional framework to govern the wildlife and parks sector.
It is not enough to revise the laws. The current governance arrangements have shown their limitations.
The commitment to institutional reforms that will enable the restoration and protection of national parks by the State, while strengthening a regulatory body for standard setting and managing of GMAs under public-private partnerships, could well see this sector thrive.
Such arrangements have to go hand-in-hand with the reclassification of protected areas. Much has been studied and recommended in this regard, so now it is about national leaders making the decisions and moving ahead.
The sector needs new financing. Domestic and international contributions can be optimised, as done in many other countries in the region and outside, by using and directing visa fees, carbon tax, and some accommodation and licensing revenues towards conservation and protection, park infrastructure, as well as branding Zambia to the world.
The right inducements, and penalties,must ensure that the country's laws are abided by, and that punishments fit the crime, so that Zambia attracts the 'right' kind of tour operators, hunters, tourists and investors that are willing to contribute to conservation, while meeting their bottom lines.
This also demands an adequate cadre of trained village scouts and increased numbers of foresters and rangers so they can provide the field oversight and protection services needed. Today, these numbers seem inadequate for the challenge at hand.
As we head towards World Tourism Day, Zambia must stand ready to showcase its rich green wealth to the world. Once stakeholder dialogues are had, agreements reached and bold decisions taken that will both protect and promote this sector - they have to remain in place with a consistency and commitment that enable the wildlife, forestry and overall tourism sector to prosper over the long haul.
With the natural resource base this country has, if one is able to halt the current levels of damage and destruction, this will be one of Zambia's foremost job and wealth creating sectors for a long time to come. Zambia can show, in very real ways, that the dual goals of rapid growth and sustainable development are not incompatible.
In doing so, it will demonstrate that the wise management and conservation of natural resources is integral to a post 2015 vision of development for the country, region and for the world.

Re: Official Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Thread (PC version)
I know last week, they updated the exe file to prevent people from doing it but literally the next day, they had a work around on the forums that keeps the steam stuff legit but does something to the file AFTER you launch the game.
If you go to the bethesda forums, you should find it. With any luck though, whatever this official patch coming up any time now does, hopefully it puts the exe file back the way it was or just does us all a favor and allows LAA.
I had copied my original EXE file to the desktop before I tweaked it in my skyrim folder and just copied the original exe back into the game directory to overwrite the patched exe. re-enabled LAA and everything worked fine. Even runs via steam.

It depends. I have encountered 4 different BIOS based netboot
options. Each of the 4 I encountered were different. Three of which were
closed proprietary systems that were not published - claiming you had to
buy a specific vendor's netbooting server software (Each of the three had
a different vendor). This was during the time period 3-4 years ago when
"thin client technology" and "distributed desktop computing" were big
marketing-phrases along with "total cost of ownership."
(An IBM ThinkPad 560, a Dell OptiPlex Gn+ (old), an IBM Desktop machine
(dont recall model) and a "no name" PC used by someone I was helping. (I
saw the netboot option in their BIOS and complained they seemed to be
closed an proprietary and useless for most people, and he said that he
thought his was more open and his MoBo manual actually described the boot
process (more open.)
I never examined these netbooting schemes in BIOS very closely, but would
guess they were similar to previously mentioned booting processes for
*NIX systems.
On the 4th system (a more recent system) the net booting procedure was
published and seemed to match the whole:
dhcp request, dhcp response includes loction of image from tftp, tftp
image, boot image, mount root filesystems, go with startup.
Newer Dell machines have this option as well, and I have been meaning to
try it. If they published this process I could easily test it. If it is
not published, I could probably make something work and publish it for
them ]:> but dont have much free time. Maybe if I am at home some time, I
set up a private network, and some net booting services to test it out.
So, the short answer is:
"It depends on your vendor and if they have published their netbooting
processes supported from their BIOS."

If the BIOS supports the "standard" *NIX net booting
bootp/dhcp request, bootp/dhcp response with location to tftp kernel and
nfsroot++, tftp download the netbootable-modified-kernel and execute it,
boot kernel, and mount root, then start init
Yep, it should be pretty easy.
Of course, you know, netbooting should not really be done over anything
less than 10Mbps. I have locally netbooted but used an NFS root from an
ISDN speed link (128kbps) and it is painful. Root over T1 (1.544Mbps) is
almost bearable, while Ethernet (~10Mbps, usually about 60-80%) is not too
bad at all - even with lots of clients. Over a swicthed network even
nicer. If this product is meant for use with remote offices over slow
links, you may have some problems with speed.

Some of the more militant food writers published a do-not-order list that was featured on America Online's splash page today, and their objection is based on the two major sins committed by the restaurant industry: poor ingredients and shortcuts.
It is the old story: substituting shortening for butter--particularly noticeable in pastries--powders and concentrates for stock and store-bought breads, and the overall restaurant tendency to mask off-flavors with hot pepper or salt. It has created a new paradigm: today restaurants are divided into the really good and the really bad. If you want to get very good food, you will pay for it both in price and in calories from the deep-fat frying and sugary/salty recipes. You end up with the paradox that the food may taste good, but it can be loaded with anything from MSG to high-fructose corn syrup to aspartame.
I consider it madness to take chocolate, which is delicious in and of itself, and combine it with something like cayenne pepper so that the customers who don't like spicy food are blindsided with the unexpected burn inside their mouth. The only thing I can say about it is that I do appreciate a menu that warns me beforehand.
I don't understand why restaurants skimp on things like flour to thicken soups, but they do substitute cornstarch, which doesn't have the same effect. I mean, flour is pretty cheap, right? You would think that there isn't much you could do to spoil a simple recipe like clam chowder, but it can be done, if I can judge from the photos that accompanied the article.
The recipe for clam chowder is about as basic as it gets: clams, potatoes, bacon and cream. I actually don't like clams myself, but clam chowder is very good as far as even I am concerned, although it is too heavy on the dairy for me to eat it. But if you want to make it you can be assured that your chowder is going to surpass that of most restaurants.
4 slices bacon, diced
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
1-1/2 cups filtered water
4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
Ground organic white pepper to taste
3 cups table cream, light cream or half and half
3 Tablespoons butter
2 (10 ounce) cans minced clams
Place diced bacon in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Cook until the bacon is almost crisp; add the onions and cook 5 minutes longer, until the onions are tender.
Stir in the water and potatoes, and season with the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Stir in the cream and the butter. Drain the clams, reserving the clam liquid; stir the clams and 1/2 of the liquid into the soup. Cook for about 5 minutes longer, or until heated through. Do not boil the chowder. Before serving, taste for seasonings.
Clam chowder is a wonderful foundation for a winter dinner, and it is complemented with a rose wine and crusty bread--my favorite side dishes. A green salad would also go well with it, and you will still have some room for coffee and perhaps some pretty Valentine's Day decorated cookies.

"Lights Out," an episode written by Ryan Murphy, is a super fun episode of Glee, and brings us one of the best musical numbers of this season. Check out the full recap for Glee season 4 episode 20 Lights Out.
Mr. Schue informs the glee club that they are going to have some serious competition in the form of American Idol's Jessica Sanchez, who makes her first appearance in this episode. Just as the club members are plotting something solid for regionals, the lights go out and everyone is left in the dark. Unlike other schools, class is going to continue in the midst of this blackout. Mr. Figgins informs the school via the PA that he won't even be using it anymore because he needs to conserve energy for his back vibrator. Mr. Schue's plan for stadium songs is caput now: instead, he vows the theme of the week as 'unplugged.'

Hello Hodges Graduates! The Association committees are making steady progress toward a solid plan for the next year and a half. We held our 2nd committee meeting last Friday, December 3rd. The purpose of this meeting was to allow each committee to brainstorm ideas that focused on 4 key points; 1) awareness, 2) membership, 3) value and 4) participation. We want to increase constituent awareness of the HUAA, increase membership -- meaning site membership (no dues!), add value for our members and increase active participation in the Association.
There were a ton of great ideas that came from this session. From marketing and mentoring to potential scholarship ideas, it was exciting to see that so much thought and energy had already been put into this task.
The next step is to compile the ideas and start planning! We are off to a great start and I will continue to keep you posted. If you have any ideas you would like to contribute email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
-- Wendy Gehring
This post has not been tagged.
I hope everyone had a VERY Happy Thanksgiving! I would like to thank everyone that has recently registered for the Hodges University Alumni Network! Please let us know what you think about the site and how we can improve it as we hope to launch it to all of our graduates in January 2011. There will be another blog posted on the site shortly that will contain weekly "Did You Know" tips for using the site.
We have so many dedicated alumni in the community that are eager to get involved and are passionate about Hodges. We recognize that the Association needs a little jumpstart so the HUAA President, Director of Alumni Affairs, and the Dean of Students have put together several committees to plan the upcoming calendar year's events for the Association. We will be having our 2nd committee meeting on this Friday, December 3rd. We all have lots of great ideas that we think will benefit our alumni. I will update this blog regularly with committee progress.
If you haven't already, please take a moment to review our 5 year plan for the Association and the committee structure under the "About Us" link in the blue bar above.

ASHA Poll at AARP's Convention Highlights Need to Promote Communication Health Services to Consumers 50+
Rockville, MD - November 09, 2010 - Fifty-three percent of respondents believe that they or their spouse has a hearing loss, yet only a quarter have consulted an audiologist, according to a poll fielded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) at the 2010 AARP Life@50+ Convention.
These findings, combined with the respondents' lack of familiarity about the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology, suggest the need to reach out to this population about identification, prevention, and treatment of speech, language, or hearing disorders.
The poll was completed by 484 AARP attendees who stopped by the ASHA exhibit during the September 30–October 2, 2010, AARP National Convention in Orlando, Florida. The ASHA booth was staffed by local Orlando member audiologist Anne Hains Peters, CCC-A, and Ann-Marie Pierotti, CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist at ASHA's National Office.
The poll not only explored the hearing ability of the AARP respondents, but also probed the attendees' views about what they value most from a health care provider, level of familiarity with audiologists and speech-language pathologists, and the most effective way to communicate about communication health.
AARP members' responses to the poll also revealed:
- The vast majority—91%—indicated that they did not own a hearing aid.
- Accuracy in diagnosis and treatment was the attribute most valued in a health care priority by the majority (74%) of respondents.
- Only about a third of respondents reported seeing an audiologist in the past few years; 6% reported seeing a speech-language pathologist.
- Again, about a third (35%) of respondents reported no familiarity with audiologists and 43% indicated no familiarity with speech-language pathologists.
- Thirty-nine percent of respondents reported direct mail was the best way to communicate to them about hearing health.
- Maintaining a continued on-site presence and marketing campaigns (commercials, brochures, etc.) were among the suggestions offered on how ASHA could raise consumer awareness of the professions at future AARP conventions.
"ASHA hopes our members find the results of this poll useful to their efforts to promote their services to the public," ASHA President Tommie L. Robinson Jr., PhD, CCC-SLP, says. "ASHA welcomes the opportunity to promote them at AARP's Convention as well as the chance to work with AARP in other ways that highlight how our members' expertise can serve the communication health of AARP members."
The complete report is available by contacting email@example.com.
About the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
ASHA is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for more than 140,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech, language, and hearing scientists. Audiologists specialize in preventing and assessing hearing and balance disorders as well as providing audiologic treatment including hearing aids. Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat speech and language problems including swallowing disorders.

GLEE to Return for a Fifth Season!
According to TV Line's founder and Editor-in-Chief, Michael Ausiello, GLEE, which is currently in middle of its 4th season, will "definitely be back for Season 5. No question."
Fox has not yet commented on the assertion - but it's no secret that Ausiello, with the aid of his many sources, scores major television scoops months prior to an official announcement.
"I've really wanted [GLEE] to go on, and I wanted to populate it with new people," Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter in October. "We did that this season, and thankfully those kids have popped. It's re-energized the show, and I think the actors are all much happier because nobody is having to work eight days a week and kill themselves."
Fans have been divided since the show's season four format change: the hit series currently follows The New Directions at McKinley High, former favorite regulars as they've moved across the country, as well as Rachel/Kurt's storyline in New York (an idea originally pitched as a spin-off.)
GLEE's ratings have seen a bit of a dropoff since it's first and second season, but has managed to deliver approximately 5 million viewers each week since moving to the coveted Thursday night lineup this season.
GLEE is a musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors including the Golden Globe and Peabody Award and singlehandedly made glee clubs cool again.

PayPal Payments in Tradeshift
We have integrated PayPal into Tradeshift which means our customers will be able to make direct payments of their invoices, resulting in faster transactions and reduced rates for international transfers compared to regular banks.
For our customers in the UK and the US, as an added bonus, you only pay a minimal flat rate regardless of how large the payment amount is. All that's required is a PayPal Business Payments account.
Clicking the "Pay with PayPal" automatically populates the invoice, saving time and reducing human error.
Read more here how Mike Butcher from TechCrunch describes the integration as "a killer combination".
And don't worry, this is only the first stepping stone towards global cheap payments as an integrated part of Tradeshift. We are working hard to bring a lot of new innovations in this area in 2011.
– Pay with PayPal:
– Payment is completed:
Notifications regarding PayPal payments in Tradeshift are displayed to both sender and receiver of an invoice, which means that both parties can view the payment status. These notifications are shown in the comment stream of the invoice, and in the activity stream on the dashboard. If you have
notifications enabled in your Settings, you will also receive an email on the status changes.
notifications enabled in your Settings, you will also receive an email on the status changes.
– Status in Activity Stream:
PayPal payments are enabled for all users. In this case, the Payment costs a fixed amount + percentage of the total. Percentages vary for PP users depending on their total amount transferred on PP the past month and other circumstances.
And remember, if you have any questions regarding PayPal payments (or anything else in Tradeshift), do not hesitate to ask!

Salem Cave Crayfish
Family:Cambaridae (freshwater crayfish) in the order Decapoda (shrimp, crabs and lobsters)
This crayfish is one of three (possibly four) blind, white (translucent) species that occur in subterranean waters of the Missouri Ozarks. Like other cave crayfish, this species has long, narrow pincers and very long antennae. The carapace is separated at its middle by a wide space (areola).
Size:Adult length: about 2 1/4 to 3 3/4 inches.
Habitat and conservation:Subterranean waters of the Missouri Ozarks. It is most often found in cave streams and is sometimes collected at the mouths of springs. Substrates include rock, sand, mud, bat quano and organic debris. This crayfish occurs only in Missouri, in caves in a few counties. Because it's fairly uncommon and has a restricted range, it is vulnerable to extirpation. Keeping groundwater clean is a key to its survival.
Foods:Crayfish are generally omnivores, eating a wide variety of plant and animal materials.
Distribution in Missouri:Occurs only in a broad area of the eastern Ozarks from Camden and Crawford counties southward to Oregon and Ripley counties.
Status:Populations seem to be secure, but this crayfish's limited range and habitat restrictions make it a species that could easily be extirpated.
Life cycle:Crayfish molt as they grow, discarding the old shell and replacing it with a new, larger one. After mating, the female carries the eggs, then the young, under her abdomen, attached to swimmerets, which are small appendages on the bottom of the abdomen.
Human connections:In 1981, an ammonium fertilizer spill 13 miles from Meramec Spring killed thousands of these and other crayfish, plus many sculpins and trout at the spring mouth. Incidents like this remind us that what goes into the ground eventually seeps into caves. It's important to keep our groundwater clean.
Ecosystem connections:Their opportunistic, omnivorous feeding makes them an important link in the food chain between plants and vertebrates, breaking down plant and other materials that are resistant to decomposition. Crayfish in turn are an important food for many other animals.

She has written numerous articles as well as two books, Nobody's Children: Abuse and Neglect, Foster Drift, and the Adoption Alternative and Family Bonds: Adoption, Infertility, and the New World of Child Production.
Her recent work advocates considering adoption from a human rights perspective, and calls attention to racial and cultural barriers to international adoption that she argues affect children's welfare. Bartholet's work has figured prominently in the national media, and she has won several awards for her writing and her related advocacy work in the area of adoption and child welfare.

Letters: public employees, Social Security, water, inflation, churches, Afghan war
On 'mega-churches'
My church, Journey Community Church in La Mesa, fits Jai Ghorpade's definition of "mega-church" ("Mega-churches a form of big business," Opinion, March 5). Our weekly attendance exceeds 2,000, and we use electric guitars, drums and visual projection equipment. However, almost nothing else in the commentary sounds like our church.
Our mission has nothing to do with dating services or weight-loss programs, but does include helping earthquake victims in Haiti, orphans in Uganda and homeless people in San Diego. The article claims that mega-churches are "highly profitable," though our church makes no profit, our pastors live modestly and we worship in a large but simple campus. Most important, in 10 years as a member of our church, I've never heard a sermon on the "gospel of prosperity," but I constantly hear about the gospel of the love, grace and forgiveness of Christ.
I suspect there are many other mega-churches that bear little resemblance to Ghorpade's depiction. -- John Gates, El Cajon
Troops deserve better
Gretel Kovach's stirring story of the bravery and determination of Camp Pendleton Marines deployed in Sangin, Afghanistan, made my heart ache ("The murder holes," March 6). How many more of these brave servicemen will be maimed or killed before our political leaders reach the inevitable conclusion? The United States does not have enough time, money, will and, most of all, manpower to bring a democratic society to a 17th-century populace ruled by the local warlord whose income is solely dependent on the narcotics trade and his exercise of brutality.
Many of my fellow conservatives were angry with President Barack Obama because he announced, in advance, the withdrawal date for all troops from Afghanistan. I just hope it is not another lie. -- Jim Mallen, Lake San Marcos

Breaking Away is a 1979 American film. A coming of age film, it follows a teenager in Bloomington, Indiana who has recently graduated from high school and is unsure what to do with his life. It stars Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern (in his first film role), Jackie Earle Haley, Barbara Barrie and Paul Dooley. The film was written by Steve Tesich (an alumnus of Indiana University) and directed by Peter Yates. Tesich would go on to script another bicycle film, American Flyers, starring Kevin Costner. It won the 1979 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Tesich, and also received nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Barbara Barrie), Best Director, Best Original Score and Best Picture. The film also won the 1979 Golden Globe Award for Best Film (Comedy or Musical). The film is ranked eighth on the List of America's 100 Most Inspiring Movies compiled by the American Film Institute (AFI) in 2006. In June 2008, AFI announced its "Ten top Ten"the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genresafter polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Breaking Away was acknowledged as the eighth best film in the sports genre. A short-lived television series based on the film, also titled Breaking Away, aired in 1980.
Dave (Dennis Christopher), Mike (Dennis Quaid), Cyril (Daniel Stern) and Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) are four working-class friends, living in a college town, who have recently graduated from high school and are not sure what to do next. They often clash with the more affluent Indiana University students in their hometown of Bloomington. Dave is obsessed with competitive bicycle racing. His down-to-earth, blue-collar father, Ray (Paul Dooley), is puzzled and exasperated by his son's love of Italian music and culture, which Dave associates with bicycling. However, his mother Evelyn (Barbara Barrie) is more understanding. Dave masquerades as an Italian exchange student to romance a university student (Robyn Douglass), even serenading her one evening outside her sorority house. When her boyfriend Rob (Hart Bochner) finds out, he and some of his fraternity brothers beat up Cyril, mistaking him for Dave (he had accompanied Dave on his guitar). Though Cyril wants no trouble, Mike insists on tracking Rob down and starting a brawl. When a professional Italian bicycling team comes to town for a race, Dave is thrilled to be competing with them. However, the Italians become irked when Dave is able to keep up with and even talk to them in Italian during the race. One of them jams a bike pump in Dave's wheel, causing him to crash, which leaves him disillusioned and depressed. Dave's friends persuade him to join them in forming a cycling team for the annual Indiana University Little 500 race. Dave's parents provide t-shirts with the name "Cutters" on them, a derogatory term used to describe the industrial stonecutters who worked the Indiana Limestone quarries of southern Indiana. Dave's father remarks how, when he was a young stonecutter, he was proud to help provide the material to construct the university, yet never felt comfortable being on campus. Dave is so much better than the other competitors, he rides without a break and builds up a large lead, while the other teams have to switch cyclists every few laps. However, he is injured and has to stop. After some hesitation, Moocher, Cyril and Mike take turns pedaling, but soon their lead evaporates. Finally, Dave has his feet taped to the bike pedals and starts making up lost ground; he overtakes Rob on the last lap and wins. Dave's father is immensely proud of his son's accomplishment, so much so that he takes to riding a bicycle himself. Dave later enrolls at the university, where he meets a pretty, newly arrived French student. Soon, he is extolling the superiority of French cyclists.

The carpal tunnel is a narrow space in the wrist. It contains wrist
bones and a ligament (transverse carpal ligament) across the wrist where the
palm and forearm meet. Tendons and the median nerve pass through this space to
your hand. The median nerve supplies feeling and some movement to part of the
Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually caused when an illness or other
problem makes the carpal tunnel space too small. This puts pressure on the
median nerve and causes pain, tingling, and other symptoms.

After reading San Francisco is Burning, Dennis Smith's superb book of San Francisco's reaction to the 1906 earthquake, I got to thinking. What if I could precisely line up photos taken in 1906 with my own and combine the two together? I've always been frustrated by typical "then and now" photos because the photographer always seems to do a sloppy job aligning his 'then' photos with the 'now' photos.
The Project
After sifting through catalogs of library photos of the devastation of San Francisco's 1906 earthquake, I picked out a variety of photos taken from April 18, 1906 to 1907 that I felt give a well-rounded depiction of what was going on in the city at the time.
Now comes the fun part. Where was the exact spot the photographer stood? What was the equivalent focal length of his camera's lens combined with the film medium? How high off the ground was the camera? Where was the sun in the sky? Everything needs to be precise when layering two photos on top of each other. My original idea was to tear away a piece of the modern photo to expose the 1906 photo, but after playing around a bit, everything seemed more interesting when the two were softly blended together.
I found that many of the original photos I planned to use were in fact unusable because the photographer was situated in a place where a building stands today. Others now have trees blocking the view. Oh well.
The Photos
Here the first part of a two-part series of photos:
The Painted Ladies have escaped fire raging down the street. Mothers rest on the low wall in Alamo Square while their children play on the grass.
Happy tourists pass by the Fairmont Hotel, which still stands, but is destroyed inside from the fires.
Passing cable cars offer a view of the destruction of California Street. Old St. Marys Cathedral has escaped destruction.
A woman opens the door to her Mercedes on Sacramento Street while horses killed by falling rubble lie in the street.
Men pose in a tent city to house displaced residents while an armored car turns left. Ferry Building repairs have begun.
Shoppers cross Drumm St on Market St while men busily work at the monumental task of rebuilding a destroyed city.
Some business people and a young kid face the camera while fire consumes a building on the corner of Franklin St and Hayes St.
Pedestrians cross Jones St towards a pile of rubble on Market Street. The Hibernia Bank building is burned out, but still standing strong.
A woman walks dangerously close to a pit of rubble on 5th St by the US Mint. The Mint has done a remarkable job surviving the quake.
Residents take to the grass at Lafayette Park to get a view of the massive fires engulfing the city while a Muni bus stops below.
Two girls stand before the partially destroyed Sharon Building in Golden Gate Park while students work on their art projects inside.
Shocked residents walk by parked cars on California St amidst the devastation.

I started a similar thread just after this last New Year's Day, revived it at mid-year, and figured I'd ask the same question now.
As for me, I count my many blessings, but will have no problem saying goodbye to this year. Does the phrase "good riddance to bad rubbish" mean anything to you?;)
I'm ready for a fresh start, and to "make it great in '08".
How about you?

Hillsborough County Commish Candidates duke it out in East Tampa
Kelly Benjamin
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Last Night, candidates for Hillsborough County Commission District 3 engaged in a heated debate at a candidate forum held by the Democratic Black caucus in East Tampa.
Incumbent Kevin White is being challenged by former state senator Les Miller and political newcomer Valerie Goddard. Both challengers had no trouble addressing a question from the audience -- if public officials should be held financially liable for illegal actions so taxpayers can recoup expenses they caused:
"It is a travesty to think that that we have folks who can continue to serve in our best interest when there still is a lack of accountability for their own (applause)."
Last year, Kevin White lost a sexual harassment lawsuit launched by a former aide. That left county taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Les Miller suggested instituting a code of ethics.
"People are loosing their jobs, while weâre having over half a million dollars in suits, going back and forth, back and forth. Iâm not talking about this kind of suit; Iâm talking about the lawsuits. People are loosing their jobs, and we have lawsuits going back and forth. Something is wrong here. I will support a code of ethics for the county commission that you have a code of ethics that you must live by. In that, if you violate the law, and youâre sued, you have to adhere by that code of ethics. If it means that you step down, you step down because you have violated what the people put their trust in you. You elect me, I will not embarrass you."
Commissioner Kevin White did not shy away from addressing his legal issues. He said, despite the guilty verdict and the legal fees passed on to taxpayers he has never failed at representing his constituents.
"Iâll tell you what ladies and gentlemen, I think any of us, if weâve ever watched the news, or newspaper, or if we just lived in life, I think everyone in this room, at one point in time, has been lied on or accused of something that has not happened. And thatâs called welcome to America. I had my day in court. There was no evidence proven. There was not one shred of evidence that was proven. But, we leave it into the court of popular and public opinion. That is fine. By representation I have never, ever failed, in representation of my community.â
White then suggested it was the county at fault for not having the policies in place to protect tax payers.
âLet me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if Iâm accused of something I did not do, Iâm not bending, Iâm not bowing, and I apologize that the county did not have the policies and procedures, in place, to protect me, as well as the tax payers. But, I guarantee you, Iâm going to fight as hard for myself, as I will for you.â
It was standing room only as candidates spoke to a predominantly African-American crowd in East Tampa. Miller and White also traded jabs over the lack of African-American contracts at Tampa General Hospital during the time Miller oversaw a minority business program there. White accused Miller of not doing enough.
âTampa General went through one of its largest expansions in the history of their program, and spent $250 million expanding the hospital. You know how much money Black people got out of that? [They received] $220,000 out of $250 million. That is pitiful. While the person who was over that program, sat there and collected over a million dollars in salary, over the time that he was there. That is not responsible leadership.â
Les Miller responded.
âI went to his office and talked to him twice. He started to go to the newspapers, instead of talking to me. Do understand, there are other Blacks on that board, and Iâve met with them and told them the same thing, not one time they didnât scream because they understood what I was trying to tell them. I left there in 2007. Here are some figures. The same job heâs talking about, having the same difficult time, and trying to get those jobs done since I left there in 2007. The numbers are the same, and in some cases theyâre dismal. Theyâre here. Yet, you havenât heard him say one thing since I left. Not on thing. So, I asked a question. Was it about him getting the job done? Or was it about less...?"
Valerie Goddard managed to stay largely above the bickering during the candidate forum. Afterward she told WMNF she faces difficulties as an African American woman in a race with two men.
âThe women are really, really fired up. The legal issues that he has resonate strongly with women because so many women work. So, I think the issues take them back to, maybe, injustices theyâve encountered in the work place, the lack of fairness with regards to their pay, and some of them may have experienced similar [issues] in their own history. I think this causes all of that to bubble up. As a woman, itâs tough because I experienced some of that old 1950âs mentality. They didnât say it, but what theyâre trying to say is [that] I should be home raising children, rather than running for office. Thatâs been a subtle tone from the candidate, with regards to me running in this position. You know, I said tonight, Iâm proud of my service because I think itâs critical to know that you have people that care about families and if youâre going to make decisions in this community, you have to have the best interest of families at heart.â

A versatile digital scarecrow promises to put a virtual cat among the pigeons. Birds soon get used to scarecrows, and simulated gunshots are too noisy, note Bramley and Wellesley, a company based in Gloucester, and Phoenix Agritech of Canada. So the firms are patenting (GB 2 323 009) a solid-state digital recorder that stores birds' distress calls, predators' cries and the flapping of frightened birds taking flight. An amplifier linked to weatherproof loudspeakers intermittently generates the sounds. To people, they sound like real wildlife, not just noise.

In Gateway Logistics Inc. v. Smay, 2013 CO 25, the Colorado Supreme Court held that privacy rights can bar over-reaching discovery requests. A party to the case "sought to inspect personal and business computers, smartphones, and other electronic storage devices" belonging to the opposing party. The discovery sought included "approximately three years" of telephone records.
The "trial court abused its discretion by failing to make findings of fact balancing" privacy rights against the "need for the information." See In re District Court, 256 P.3d 687, 691–92(Colo. 2011). Any information must be relevant, a compelling need for the information must exist, and if so, "whether that information can be obtained elsewhere."
The discovery requested was extensive: "personal computers, business computers, lap-top computers, servers, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, USB drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, floppy disks or any other portable data storage device, including but not limited to BlackBerries, iPods, iPads and iPhones." iPods?
The court described "forensic imaging," which allows a computer expert to "search the image as if it were the computer without depriving the computer's owner of his or her machine."
Because motions to compel discovery are "committed to the discretion of the trial court," the Supreme Court reviews a discovery order for an abuse of discretion. But in any case "where a party has asserted a right to privacy in the information being sought through discovery," the trial court must perform "the required balancing test" as set forth in In re Dist. Court, 256P.3d at 692, supra. Failing to perform that test appears to be a per se abuse of discretion.
To be sure, the scope of discovery is "very broad." Parties may discover "any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the claim or defense of any party," and the information wanted "need not be admissible at trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence."
However, if a party objects on grounds of confidentiality or privacy, "the trial court must balance the policy in favor of broad disclosure with the individual's right to keep personal information private." The party seeking discovery must "prove that it has a compelling need for the information," and thus that "the information requested is relevant to the subject of the action." The burdens then shift a bit back and forth, but in any event, the trial court must allow the parties to present their reasons for or against discovery.
Individuals do "have a privacy interest in their electronically stored information, including personal correspondence and records, on their computers, smartphones, and other electronic storage devices."
The court noted that "computers now play an 'ever greater' role in daily life and serve as repositories for increasingly more and different kinds of information." Usually, courts fall behind the technology curve, but good courts strive to keep the crest in sight.

Sexy New Tyler Shields Photo Shoot Features Gabriel Mann in a Speedo, Revenge Cast in Compromising Positions
Controversial photographer Tyler Shields is known for photographing celebrities, and lately, he has taken a liking to the cast of Revenge. But who wouldn't?
Tyler is friends with Revenge star Connor Paolo (Declan Porter), which sparked the original pillow fight photo shoot last year. Then the cast had a paint war in last month's "Chromatic" series.
Now they're back on Tyler's photo blog just in time for Revenge Season 2. These sexy new shots feature shirtless men, females in formal wear, and Gabriel Mann licking a gun. What's not to love?
Click here to see the photos!
Our personal favorite is the one of Nick Wechsler, Gabriel Mann, Josh Bowman, and Connor Paolo wet and shirtless after being hosed down from their paint fight. Most of the six-packs are impressive — sorry, Dec! — but all of the smouldering looks have us booking rooms at the South Fork Inn.
Check out the photos and tell us what you think below!

"I went to a prep school with a strong science department. I took art classes there but it was never something that I thought I could pursue as a profession. When I came to Simon's Rock I continued to take science classes and thought that would be my major. Then I took my first ceramics class and I was hooked. Now that's my concentration. I think students sometimes limit themselves when thinking about what they should study, because of money. I've heard people say that they would go into the arts but can't because they wouldn't make money. I guess I'd rather live simply than do something I didn't love.
It's a lot like choosing a college. Some of my high school friends didn't attend their first choice schools because another place was cheaper. When I came to Simon's Rock, I knew it was where I belonged. The College gave me a generous aid package, but I still had to take out a loan. I don't regret incurring some debt, I've loved this experience. My mother paid her college debt until my brother was born. A lot of people do. It may take some time but it will get paid. I'd find it much more painful to sacrifice what I loved just to save money."

Where are they now? Nora transferred to Arizona State University, where she continues to study Art. See a recent self-portrait.

Carren and I never intended to become landlords. It just kind of happened in 2010 when she was looking at home listings and we saw one we absolutely loved, but we couldn't manage to sell the one we were living in at the time. So we decided that we could carry two mortgages if we could manage to rent out one. We found a tenant and everything was working out pretty well until about a year ago when he started paying the rent a few days late every month.
It was always some excuse like he had to wait until he got paid, or he had just been hit for child support, or a host of other excuses. Finally it came to a head this year when he ended up three months behind, so we gave him a notice to vacate the premises by the end of June, with the intent to file an eviction if he didn't move. We got a call on July 1 from the neighbor, telling us that he had been there with a truck and had left somewhat in a hurry, and also that he hadn't been there much lately. So we got over there a couple days ago and found all the furniture moved out, but also that the power was out and by all appearances had been out for some time. It was upon opening the door that we also found out, through rather strong olfactory evidence, that the refrigerator had not been emptied and the contents were in an advanced state of pungent decay.
The other neighbor told us that he had a girlfriend and was staying at her place most of the time, which might account for the fact that the electric bill hadn't been paid in some time, but I just wonder why through all of our harassing him for rent he never told us that he wasn't staying there much lately and that he had let the power get disconnected. To put it simply, the entire house is an absolute mess, the fridge notwithstanding. We're probably going to have to replace the carpet in at least three rooms and the whole house is going to need a massive cleaning from top to bottom. The odd thing is that he left a really nice zero turn mower in the garage, which I'm thinking of either using or selling.
The only thing I'm wondering about is, since we didn't file an eviction through the courts, how much of what he didn't remove from the house do we have any rights to? Not everything in there is trash. He left a washer and dryer, the mower, an xbox, and some decent area rugs. Also, I think I've been completely put off renting and I just want the darn house sold for whatever we can get. That property tax money could be put to much better use. I guess if you have a good tenant, rental property can been a good investment, but there's also my side of it. I don't think I want to run the risk of dealing with another tenant like this again.

Guardian angels needed for Hillsborough children
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Thousands of abused, neglected or abandoned children in the Tampa Bay area currently donât have a voice in the court system.
Every year in Hillsborough County and throughout the state, thousands of children are trapped in hopeless homelife situations. Even when they are removed by law enforcement, many of these children have no one to speak on their behalf in court.
Thatâs why Guardian ad Litem programs exist. A guardian is appointed by the courts to represent the interests of infants, the unborn, or incompetent persons in legal actions.
The term was bandied about frequently during the Terri Schiavo saga several years ago.
But in Florida, the great need is for guardian ad litems to be advocates for foster children.
Melissa Schultz is with the volunteer recruiting division of the Guardian ad Litem program in Hillsborough County. Programs are offered in every county, and on Sept. 4 new training sessions will begin in Tampa. Theyâll be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for approximately five weeks.
Thatâs probably the most arduous time commitment one would make to be a guardian ad Litem. A guardian general spends 6-8 hours a month volunteering.
The Guardian al Litem program in Hillsborough County works closely with the advocacy group Voice for Children.
Shultz says that about ¾ of these positions are filled, but they are looking to get 400 volunteers by the end of the year.

Please reference your packing slip to make sure your order is complete. Paddle, bags, and covers purchased ship with your boat from the factory. Other accessories and gear, such as cockpit cover, spray skirt, cart, etc. will ship from our Headquarters in San Diego.
If you pick your new TRIAK up at an Authorized Dealer, the boat will be unpacked and ready to put on your car.
For those recieving their new TRIAK outside of a Dealer Service Area, your boat will most likely ship in a wooden crate. Be prepared with a cordless driver-drill with a charged battery or two. Use a phillips-head screw driver attachment to remove the screws holding the top in place. There are several cross-braces which will also need screws removed on the sides of the crate. After the top and braces are removed, carefully lift the boat parts and main hull out of the crate.
Your new TRIAK will arrive wrapped and protected by a layer of plastic and optionally inside a crate.
The boat consists of the following main components:
- Main Hull
- Wing
- Floats (together)
- Mast
- Daggerboard (typically packed in the rear hatch)
Once you have removed the boat components from the crate, inspect to ensure all parts are there.
Your daggerboard and paddle (if purchased) will be packed inside the rear hatch during shipping.
If you ordered covers and bags, they will be folded up and placed within the crate.
Please properly dispose and recycle the discarded packing materials.

THE continued uncertainty over the country's land reform programme has left the agricultural sector in turmoil, 13 years since government embarked on agrarian reforms under which white-owned farms were forcibly expropriated for the resettlement of blacks, the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) has said.
In 2000 agricultural production was 4,2 million tonnes but production has declined steadily over the years to about 2,1 million tonnes in 2012, contributing to the deteriorating food security situation. Late and erratic rains, poor agricultural practices, constrained access to inputs, and a reduction in planted area have all contributed to a reduction of the national cereal harvest by 33 percent last year.
CFU president Charles Taffs said agriculture has been the back bone of Zimbabwe's economy. Ho-wever, the nationalisation and acquisition of some 11,8 million hectares of commercial farm land, which was previously held under free hold title, has seen the end of secure property rights and of investor confidence not only in agriculture but across all sectors.
"The rural infrastructure is collapsing, thousands of kilometers of fencing have been removed, conservation land laws are being openly disregarded with dire environmental consequences, earthen dam walls are becoming unstable due to little or no maintenance over the period, all leading to the well publicised serious agricultural deficits as well as mass migration from rural land to the towns and cities, putting those very towns and cities under increasing infrastructural pressure," Taffs said.
"For the past 13 years Zimbabwe has been a net importer of basic food commodities we believe largely due to the result of the negative impact of the fast track land reform programme on investor confidence."
Despite the heavy rains, Taffs predicted another poor agricultural season for Zimbabwe.
"We are now in the middle of the 2012/2013 agricultural season and despite the recent good rains we will again be turning to the donor community for food assistance and as a farming community in partnership with our government it is our combined duty and responsibility to supply raw materials for industry and export as well as to adequately feed the nation. We are quite clearly failing. We at the CFU firmly believe that this situation need not continue and that a solution to this crisis can be found," he added.
The CFU president ca-lled for a fair, all inclusive, focused and implementable short term solution, which will be able to re-establish an active land market on the back of which a strong financial industry can be launched.
"It must provide a platform upon which all sectors can thrive; it must also re-establish lost values placing those values back into the economy for the benefit of all. This solution must re-establish the basic fundamental foundations needed for rapid economic recovery and economic gain those being sound property rights," he said.
Taffs urged all farmers to take advantage of the rising global food demand together with the rising commodity prices, "we as a country have massive po-tential to take advantage of this phenomenon."
Although government has refused to pay compensation to former white commercial farmers for im-provements made on farms before the land reform exercise, Taffs said, it was key to the revival of the agricultural sector and investor confidence.
"Government's inability and failure to pay compensation and bring closure to the acquisition process has crippled the institutional capacity to lend into this sector. National collateral has effectively been undermined and all agricultural land in Zimbabwe is now an impaired economic asset, while lending to the agricultural sector has become excessively constrained and is heavily risk loaded resulting in massive limitations to production.
Compensation is expe-cted to give finality to the land question in Zimbabwe and give current farmers security of tenure, allowing them to fully invest on the land knowing the ownership part is solved permanently. Uncertainties in land ownership have been hampering productivity on the farms as farmers could not fully commit their reso-urces on land for which they have no secure titles.
The Agricultural Recov-ery and Compensa-tion, a unit of the CFU, is demanding US$10 billion compensation from the government for land seized.
