HTC has said it is relying on mid-tier (read: cheap) mobile devices to help return the company to profit in 2014.
Following 2013 figures that saw the company's sales drop 38 per cent to only $319.23m (£194.6m) in 2013, HTC CFO Chialin Chang has revealed that the company is pinning its recovery hopes on a greater range of products.
"What we're shipping in there, we want to make sure is competitive," he told investors and analysts.
HTC's share price has been steadily declining for three years, since the company's early lead in the Android smartphone arena was stolen from it by companies such as Samsung, LG and Google's in-house tie-ups with these companies and others.
Co-founder and chair Cher Wang assessed the problem as being the company's focus only on its "flagship" products.
"We missed a huge chunk of the mid-tier market," she said.
Wang was probably referring specifically to the HTC One, which got largely positive reviews but has failed to make a signifcant dent in the sales of Samsung's rival high-end device, the Galaxy S4.
Various models in HTC's Desire series enjoyed a long shelf life as mid to low tier handset choices, and it seems HTC wishes to return to this model as the likes of ZTE and Huawei are arriving on the Android market, not to mention many cheaper Samsung models.

Retailers at two local malls will celebrate the best of the season
Fashion's Night Out
When: 6 to 9 tonight
Where: Fashion Valley Mall, 7007 Friars Road, Mission Valley; Otay Ranch Town Center, 2015 Birch Road, Chula Vista
Cost: Free Online: fashionsnightout.com
If you can't be in Manhattan for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the next best thing is Fashion's Night Out — a global initiative bringing two runway shows to San Diego on Thursday.
While Fashion Week looks ahead to the spirit and style of spring, we focus on what fall fashion trends we love right now.
Fashion's Night Out (FNO) was created in 2009 to engage consumers and boost the industry's economy during the recession. In 2011 FNO was honored in 18 countries, including Italy, France, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States, with roughly 4,500 events from New York City to Los Angeles.
The celebration continues to grow this year, with San Diego's FNO headquarters at Fashion Valley Mall and Otay Ranch Town Center.
FNO takes fall fashion out of the stores and onto the runway, creating an interactive experience that puts knowledge at the forefront. At Fashion Valley, mall retailers participating in the show will include Bloomingdales, Macy's, Ann Taylor, Custo Barcelona, Karen Millen and Ted Baker London. More brands, like Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Tory Burch, will host their own events after the show.
"Over 30 of Fashion Valley's retailers will roll out the red carpet, staging special in-store events like cocktail parties, live mannequin modeling, giveaways and more," said Francine Miley, the mall's director of marketing and business development. "It's a great way to discover new stores that will become favorites."
Top fall trends to look for at Fashion's Night Out at Fashion Valley Mall:
Belted dresses
From crimson red to myriad bold patterns, designers prove dresses are best worn with belts this season. Prepare to see fall's top dresses cinched at the waist with skinny belts on the FNO runway. We love Karen Millen's vibrant red frock, paired with a black croc bow waist belt, black gloves and stretch suede over-the-knee boots.
It color: Chianti
Oxblood red was fall's breakout color on the New York Fashion Week runway. This rich hue will be the perfect complement to your fall wardrobe. Pick a pop of color, such as Henri Bendel's For Always Tote. The on-trend handbag boasts embossed leather, satin lining and custom gold hardware.
Winter white revival
The little white dress is no longer just for summer fun. Designers encourage you to break all the rules and rock a white ensemble this fall. Sharp black and white suits will give you a hard edge, while white sheath dresses will keep your look soft and feminine. We love Ted Baker London's sophisticated, asymmetrical draped tunic dress.
Statement collars
This fall, no top or dress is complete without a contrasting statement collar. On the runway we saw everything from black baroque collars to vintage, chandelier-inspired collars. Wear your collar of choice like a necklace to complete the look. We love Karen Millen's white blouse with a metallic beaded collar, worn beneath a black cropped sweater with black lace print jeans and Pony Kitten heels in oxblood red.

A Raise? A Raise?
10:31 AM, Apr 4, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
Congressman Jim Moran believes that members of Congress do not make enough money. It's the sort of thing that, even if you believe it, you shouldn't say. But then, Moran has never been known for his manners or discretion.
As Hannah Hess of Roll Call reports, Moran is saying:
Nor can many of the people who work there or, indeed, live there. To include people with a lot harder jobs, no staff to ease their burdens, and no prospects of a cushy K Street gig when once they have laid down their burdens of public service.

My husband and I mess around a lot throughout the day even between prayer times. We don't have sexual intercourse unless we know we have enough time to do ghusl before the next prayer.
My questions are
1) if the husband touches his wife's private area with his hand does SHE need to do ghusl?
2) What if he inserts his FINGERS? without her reaching an orgasm, just having fun. Is ghusl required?

Boss Lyonie
During the Clone Wars, Boss Lyonie served as the local leader of the Gungans of Naboo, chairing the Rep Council in Otoh Gunga. When the Republic needed reinforcements to prevent the Separatist takeover of Mon Cala, the Jedi Council asked Boss Lyonie to send in the Gungan Grand Army. Jar Jar Binks was quick to insist the Gungans help, especially since their loyal ally Senator Amidala was endangered. Though Lyonie proved a boon to the Republic during that campaign, a sudden tide of unrest among the Gungans against the Naboo caused many to fear that he would be siding with the Separatists.

Gungan Grand Army
In contrast to the peaceful human colonists of Naboo, the native Gungans are a proud warrior species. The amphibians have long maintained a huge standing army -- the Gungan Grand Army -- as one of their proudest traditions. The Gungans prefer technology that is harmonious with the ecology of their world. Their weaponry is no different. The Gungan Grand Army uses domesticated animals for transport -- Gungan scouts ride swift-footed kaadu into combat, while hardy falumpasets and fambaas haul heavy weapons and shield generators into place.
Yoda was a legendary Jedi Master and stronger than most in his connection with the Force. Small in size but wise and powerful, he trained Jedi for over 800 years, playing integral roles in the Clone Wars, the instruction of Luke Skywalker, and unlocking the path to immortality.
Jar Jar Binks
A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life. Putting his awkward past behind him, Jar Jar left the swamps of Naboo to enter the even murkier waters of Coruscant politics, becoming a representative for his people in the galactic capital. There, his best intentions and eagerness to serve were exploited by scheming Senators and others in positions of power.

Since that financing was being put together and announced there has been a significant change in general market sentiment. PXL may now be getting a netback of $30 on its non-hedged/non-railed production, and by December it could be getting $40. If PXL announces a forcasted 60% increase in production for 2013 next week it could have 4,320 barrels a day of production by year end, and given the higher netbacks by the end of the year it could have annualized cashflow of $63 million; but one year from the end of this year its forcast production for 2014 could have exit production 60% higher again. It is putting in place additional run-way for growth right now with the financing and will soon announce a reserves update expected to be significant. The financing may have offered a nice opportunity given the general market reversal, and the prospects for this company. We do live in volitile times, however.

I recently became sexually active at 21, and my partner is a bit older and has had multiple partners. At this point, we are exclusive, and have used a condom on the few occasions we have had intercourse. I went to the local Planned Parenthood recently, and am now on a birth control pill (I am absolutely sure I don't want or need to be pregnant at this point or ever in my life, personal choice...). I realize that although the pills are great for preventing conception, they are not effective at preventing STI's, where as the condom has at least pretty good effectiveness for many of them.
I asked my partner to be tested for STI's before I went to PP, and had assumed that if he was tested and came back with negative results (as in no infections) it would be fairly safe to have intercourse with out the condom on the STI issue, if neither of us were active outside of the relationship. While visiting the clinic, I learned that apparently, many of the STIs are not tested for, and some of them in theory can't be tested for. I have tried to sort out which ones can and can't be tested for and get further info on the web about this, but I have failed to find it. I got close with an archive article here, but I am still trying to find out the "truth"... I would love to see something like a chart of what STI's are "testable", routinely tested for, and possibly the infection rate in the general public so I could make a more informed decision on the further use of the condom.
Trying to make a more informed decision
Dear Trying to make a more informed decision,
You're doing an excellent job of looking out for your health and being a responsible sexual partner. Many people have run up against the frustration of fuzzy answers regarding sexually transmitted infections (STIs), testing and safer sex. Unfortunately, there are few "truths," significant complexity, and lots of gray area. It sounds like you are off to a great start: talking with your partner about sexual histories, birth control, and STI testing. Limiting your number of lifetime partners, using condoms and other barrier methods, and getting tested for STIs with new sexual partners will also help you reduce your risk. But, in the end, sex involves some risk, so you and your partner have to figure out what you're comfortable with.
Testing for STIs involves weighing risks, probabilities, and costs, because testing everyone for everything would be very expensive and is much more likely to result in "false positives" (where you test positive, but you don't have the infection) and "false negatives," where you test negative but do have the infection. For viral infections like herpes and HPV that come and go on their own, it's difficult to test when symptoms aren't present because the most accurate tests use samples from the lesions the virus causes. And for bacterial infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea, the tests are not always as accurate as one would like, generating many false negatives, so many clinics routinely treat for them if there has been exposure, and don't even bother with the tests. Thus, it makes more sense for medical providers to make diagnoses based on a combination of information including your sexual history, symptoms, and testing (where indicated).
You asked about the number of infections among the general public. It's difficult to measure prevalence (how many people have the infection), because many times infections are asymptomatic so people don't get tested. Also, different infections have different reporting requirements. For example, information is gathered much more systematically for chlamydia and gonorrhea than for herpes. Because information is reported in different ways, it can be difficult to compare one statistic to another. Also, prevalence differs significantly among subpopulations (based on age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, geography, etc.) For example, even though in any given year only .3% of people in the U.S. might have a chlamydia infection, it's one of the most common STIs among young people. In 2005, the CDC reported that of women screened in selected family planning clinics, the proportion of positive tests was 6.3% among 15-24 year olds. To think about it another way, according to one study, Trichomoniasis, HPV, and Chlamydia accounted for 9 out of 10 new STI infections among 15-24 year olds in 2000.
Thus, knowing the prevalence in the general population may not be your best guide, either for judging what to test for or what to watch out for. This may explain why it's hard to find clear guidelines about testing or overall population statistics — good medical providers make informed judgments based on each person's situation, and data about different subpopulations. In any case, here are some general prevalence numbers for common STIs and information about testing. The following data are from 2010, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Trichomoniasis — This is the most common curable infection in the U.S., with about 3.7 million people infected. Out of that 3.7 million, only about 30% will actually develop symptoms. The infection is more common in women than in men and more common in older people than younger people. Diagnosis is made through visual examination and laboratory test.
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) — This is the most common bacterial infection among women of childbearing age. Overall prevalence is unknown, but as many as 16% of pregnant women have BV. BV is diagnosed by a lab test with a sample of vaginal fluid.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) — Some strains of HPV cause genital warts and some strains are associated with cervical cancer. Cervical cancer affects about 12,000 women in the U.S. every year. Genital HPV is thought to be the most common STI in the U.S. — 50-75% of sexually active people will acquire it at some point in their lives. Although there is no cure, it appears the body often clears the virus on its own. Medical providers mainly diagnose HPV based on the presence of warts or, for women, an "abnormal" Pap test. If a Pap test has an abnormal or unclear reading, it will be followed up with a colposcopy and/or an HPV test. Pap tests look for cell changes caused by HPV infection, the HPV tests looks for the virus itself. There is currently no test for HPV in asymptomatic men. For the most recent recommendations for HPV screening, you can check out Cervical cancer info on the net. An HPV vaccine was introduced in 2006 that protects men and women against the strains of HPV than cause genital warts and cancer.
Herpes — One out of six adults and adolescents has had Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (genital herpes). Like HPV, herpes is difficult to diagnose without visible sores, and many people have no symptoms. The infection is slightly more common in women than men. In heterosexual penetrative intercourse, a man is more likely to pass it on to his female partner than a woman is to give it to her male partner. Although there is no cure, a person with active herpes can use daily medication to reduce the likelihood of transmission to a sexual partner. A blood test is available but it isn't always conclusive, so it is not usually done unless someone has symptoms or suspects an exposure.
Chlamydia — In 2009, 1.2 million cases of chlamydia were reported to the CDC, but it is estimated that 3 million cases occur annually in the U.S. Chlamydia infections are under-reported because people are so frequently asymptomatic. Approximately 75% of infected women and 50% of infected men have no symptoms. Testing can be done with a swab test in the penis, vagina, cervix, anus and/or throat. Some clinicians use a urine test rather than a penis or cervical swab.
HIV — A 2006 study from the Centers for Disease Control estimates an overall prevalence of HIV in the United States at about .2% - that is, 2 out of every 1000 people, or around 900,000 people all together. Again, prevalence numbers are significantly different depending on factors such as your ethnicity, where you live, and age. HIV testing can be done with a blood test or a mouth swab. It may take up to 3 months after exposure to HIV (this is often called the "window period") for your body to develop the antibodies that are measured by the test. Therefore, even if you have HIV, you might not test positive right away.
Hepatitis B — There are between 800,000 and 1.4 million people in the U.S. with chronic Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is incurable, but there is a vaccine to prevent it. It is diagnosed with a blood test, but health care providers will not automatically test you for it if you have received the vaccine.
Gonorrhea — Each year, approximately 650,000 or .2% of the population is infected with gonorrhea. In 1999, 77% of all reported gonorrhea cases occurred among African Americans, and 75% of all reported gonorrhea cases were found in people ages 15-29. Testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia are most often done simultaneously, with either a urine test or a swab test in the penis, vagina, anus or throat.
Syphilis — Over 36,000 cases of syphilis were reported in the U.S. in 2006, including 9,756 cases of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis. Most P&S syphilis cases occur in people ranging from 20 to 39 years of age. Between 2005 and 2006, the number of reported syphilis cases increased 11.8 percent. Some health care providers can diagnose syphilis by examining material from sores using a special microscope called a dark-field microscope. If syphilis bacteria are present in the sore, they will show up when observed through the microscope. Another way to test for syphilis is through a blood test.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) — Approximately 750,000 to 800,000 women in the U.S. experience an episode of acute PID. A large proportion of the ectopic pregnancies occurring every year are due to the consequences of PID and up to 10 — 15% of these women may become infertile as a result of infection. STIs are only one cause of PID. It can also be caused by regular vagina flora. Diagnosis of PID can be very difficult. There is no testing for Pelvic Inflammatory decease. Instead, diagnosis is based off of clinical findings and sometimes laparoscopy.
Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV) — LGV is a type of rectal infection that is often mistakenly thought to be caused by ulcerative colitis. The frequency of LGV infection is thought to be rare in industrialized countries, but it's identification is not always obvious. As a result, so the number of cases of LGV in the United States is unknown. Outbreaks in the Netherlands and other European countries among men who have sex with men have raised concerns about cases of LGV in the U.S. LGV is diagnosed by a health care practitioner evaluating symptoms and lesions.
Numbers, numbers, numbers, and all you probably want is a straightforward answer: "Should I use this condom, or not???" If only the answer were so simple. As you probably realize, the only way to be 100% certain you don't get any infections is to not have any oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Clearly, most people eventually decide to take the plunge and explore the joys of sex. At that point, communication and cooperation between you, your partner(s), and your medical provider becomes crucial for keeping things as safe as possible. If you would like to get tested for any or all of the above testable STIs, you should see your health care provider. Columbia students can make an appointment with Medical Services through Open Communicator or by calling x4-2284. Free and confidential HIV tests are also available to Columbia students through GHAP.
It's also important to realize that certain STIs aren't the end of the world, and as the prevalence numbers show, most people don't have them. However, it's good to always be careful and also relax and enjoy your sexuality — hopefully the two can go hand in hand!Alice!

I got an old enlarger that takes up to 6x9 for free, it's actually made in Sweden! The thing mounts on the case using it as a baseboard. And as you can see you've got plenty of room for paper. This case is hand made and damn heavy, but it's a neat setup.
The idea of a table with wheels is not bad either, since you can make it fit over the toilet. Either way, I think that you need to forget about the included baseboards and make one yourself. Then 4x5 would be viable as well.
I've got an Durst M301 with the color head, it's so damn small! It's capable of making 11x14, if you don't use the masking frame. It's small enough to fit in a standard bookshelf and you can lift it with one hand without a problem. I intend to keep it even if I get a 4x5 enlarger (I'll probably go with a custom made baseboard/table then) just because it's so damn small and easy to work with. The M600 isn't much larger, but it seems that you can't get a color head for it. The 605 on the other hand... A tad bigger, but with a small baseboard it should work.

Mormon Perspective on #BundyRanch, U.S. Federal Government, and Divinity of Constitution (tags)
In April 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) acted on a court order to seize the cattle of southern Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. Hundreds of western men and women traveled to Bunkersville, NV to stand with the Bundy family against federal tyranny. Several reporters from Los Angeles People's Media went to the site of the #BundyRanch #RangeWar to interview supporters about the stand-off.

According to the people who work with the homeless in Los Angeles, the problem of homelessness is getting worse, much, much worse, not better. According to one source, "We are seeing people we have never seen before, full time students from very good schools like USC and UCLA, full time working singles who cannot afford to pay the high rents in Los Angeles, Grandmothers, the elderly, with retirement incomes, forced out of their apartments by the ever escalating rents, even during a time when housing prices are spiraling downward, the inflated rents of Los Angeles keep going ever higher, not lower."
UCLA Adult Stem Cell Speech (tags)
I had already researched embryonic stem cells, and that was so far away. There weren't any clinical trials going on that I could find. It looked like it was going to be two, five, maybe ten years away. With the controversy over embryonic stem cells raging, the future of any new discoveries coming in time to help me was pretty dim.

Daryl and John were absolutely FANTASTIC and they were able to involve the media on the SCF issue (which is a great thing in Rome - the city of paparazzi). There was very little about the movie Daryl is filming in Rome and great attention on the SCFs. Newspapers and TV news reported about Daryl & John's commitment (talking also about Julia), using videos of the Farm and John's photos.

You are confused.
Of course not. Did I say they did? Whatever they use to protect e-mail and firewalls is likely written by someone else. They do provide such protection, right?
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) is not an anti virus. That is AVG. MBAM handles non viral malware and you in your own words have indicated AVG found several trojans.
AT&T and Yahoo do NOT write anti malware software. At best what you have is an OEM product. The question is WHO is actually the vendor ?
Shirley, I do to some extent. The question I pose is there a standard for what might generally called infections? You know, something that puts everyone on the same footing (s/w developers of infectious s/w), so that they don't slip in some crazy thing to demonstrate they are better than the other guys?
MBAM is a very good anti malware utility and is free to use to remove malware.
Surely you jest about a standards comittee on malware. Do you really think malware authors will conform to a standard ?
I don't think it's an unfair question to ask who rates infection preventive software? Is PC magazine the arbiter.
But let's not get confused here on side issues. The real question is interpreting the AVG messages. Can someone take a look at the messages via a temporary web site that I can post images to of the vault contents?

This article was written by Emily Gertz in December 2004. We're republishing it here as part of our month-long editorial retrospective.
Coastal forests are key to preventing future disasters and restoring life and livelihood around the Indian Ocean
A half-century ago, if you approached a point on the shore along the rim of Indian Ocean, you probably would have come upon endless acres of mangroves. Swampy rainforests hugging the edges of both land and sea, Indo-Pacific mangroves are storehouses of biodiversity, home to the world's richest variety of salt-tolerant trees, ferns, and shrubs. Hundreds of different birds live in the trees, which also shelter migratory species. Mangroves are rich in sea life - from plankton, to mollusks, to shell and fin fish - and well-populated with crocodiles, monkeys, wild cats, lizards, sea turtles, and more.
Mangroves also insulate coastlines and coastal communities from the abuses of the ocean - erosion, storms, and waves.
Fast forward 50 years: on December 25, 2004, if you approached the shore along the rim of the Indian Ocean, you would have been much more likely to come upon a shrimp farm, urban landfill, or tourist resort than a rainforest. In the past half-century, over half the world's mangroves - estimated to have covered 22 million hectares (54,340,000 acres) of tropical and subtropical coastlines in the middle of the last century - have been lost to development, oil exploration, pollution, inland irrigation, and especially shrimp aquaculture, an export industry frequently underwritten by international development lenders like the World Bank and the Inter-Asian Development Bank.
From Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta to southeastern India's Goadavari-Krishna mangroves, to the Sundarbans mangroves along the India-Bangladesh coast (home to nearly 700 endangered tigers), small pockets of mangroves have hung on, sometimes as protected areas, all highly endangered.
But in this terrible time after the tsunamis, place, environment, ecology and economics have combined to illuminate the simple sense of reforesting the mangroves.
Mangrove destruction may have factored hugely in the loss of human life to the South Asia tsunamis, and mangrove restoration may be key to mitigating future disasters. Jeff McNeely, a World Conservation Union scientist, told ChennaiOnline News on December 28,
What has made this a disaster is that people have started to occupy part of the landscape that they shouldn't have...[F]ifty years ago, the coastline was not as densely occupied as now by tourist hotels...[W]hat has also happened over the last several decades is that many mangroves have been cleared to grow shrimp ponds so that we, here in Europe, can have cheap shrimp.
...When a tsunami comes in, it first hits the coral reef which slows it down, then it hits the mangroves which furthers slow it down. It may get through that but by then a lot of the energy has already been dissipated.
Other press in South Asia have picked up on the mangrove - tsunami connection. "The mangroves in Pitchavaram and Muthupet region acted like a shield and bore the brunt of the tsunami. The impact was mitigated and lives and property of the communities inhabiting the region were saved," wrote G. Venkataramani in The Hindu on December 28. "Although, mangrove forests are themselves victims of the power of tidal waves they help in mitigating much of the damage and loss of lives in such cases, according to biologists," wrote Latha Venkatraman in The Hindu Business Line on December 29, and the Bangkok Press has editorialized,
Fifty years ago, the coastline rimming the Indian Ocean was occupied only by fishermen, not huge tourist hotels and associated attractions. As the tourist facilities mushroomed, and shrimp farms and other such ''developments'' also competed for space, the coral reefs and mangrove forests which provided a natural barrier against heavy seas were cleared away. This is very much the case along Thailand's Andaman coast, especially in Phuket, Phangnga and Krabi _ the provinces hit hardest by the killer tidal waves which struck with such merciless force late on Sunday morning.
... The loss of life and property is a tragedy for those directly affected. It also will take governments days, perhaps even months, before they can account for all those who went missing on Sunday and the extent of the property damage. It will take years to rebuild - if this is considered wise - what was lost or damaged. There is clearly much to be learned from took place on Sunday. It would make no sense at all to embark once again on development patterns that contributed to such heavy losses."
Restoring mangroves is also a matter of economic and social justice, and this region is going to need even more of both as disaster relief moves forward. Britian's Environmental Justice Foundation has documented human rights abuses in the shrimp farming industry. Public Citizen is just one organization that has documented the linked ecological, economic and social costs of mangrove deforestation for shrimp aquaculture:
The relationship between mangroves and other wetlands with coastal fisheries is complex and not precisely understood. There is, nevertheless, a large and growing body of evidence that many marine species use these habitats as nursery areas and for shelter during early development. Their loss has been shown to negatively impact coastal fisheries resources and the livelihoods of coastal communities. Thus, as the removal of mangroves devastates coastal biodiversity, coastal communities are also hurt, economically and socially, as the underpinnings of their society begin to disintegrate.
As wetland areas are destroyed, coastal communities lose their access to areas that provided small-scale, sustainable economic activities such as fishing, agriculture and the local production of forest-related products. In areas where limited access is still available, resources have been severely degraded and the limited amounts of available food may pose a potential health risk linked to high levels of pollution and toxic compounds from the shrimp farms.
Fortunately, the alternatives are out there.
Mangrove Action Project documents sustainable management alternatives already in practice in the region that can both protect mangroves and provide solid livelihoods for the people who live near them. Silvofishery combines mangrove reforestation (or retention) with low-input aquaculture techniques. And Yad Fon's Community Forest Project in southwestern Thailand has successfully pioneered techniques for "community-managed forests" that combine grassroots organizing, democratic decision making, local economic development, micro-lending, and, restoration and protection of mangroves and local fish populations.
Are there other appropriate economic development projects in mangrove zones? Sustainable wood harvest and charcoal production? Products or pharmaceuticals derived (at rates that can be steadily replenished) from rare forest materials? Traditional crafts - or modern reinterpretations? Let us know.
Preservation of human life as well as biodiversity, restoration of a vital ecosystem, and just economic development - clearly interwoven in the wake of a disaster that defies words.
Alex has written of creating an entirely new future along the Indian Ocean rim, of establishing a new measure of success for relief and redevelopment. Based on the evidence, that measure should include restoration of what the region had 50 years ago: a coast lined with healthy, productive, protective mangroves.

Although not a direct restorative effort, there is a dutch company that harvests shrimp by heating the water tanks with waste heat from the energy plant next door. An obvious benefit is reduced reliance on imported tropical shrimp and the accompanying destructive practices...
Here's an update on the Mangrove Action Project!
Since December 2004 we have continued working to reverse the degradation and loss of mangrove forest ecosystems worldwide. We are especially proud of our Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR)program.
Our main goal is to promote the rights of traditional and indigenous coastal peoples, including fishers and farmers, to sustainably manage their coastal environs.
Through our global network and offices in the U.S. (International Office), Thailand (Asia Regional Office), Indonesia, and Latin America, MAP is stimulating the exchange of ideas and information on the conservation and restoration of mangrove forests, while promoting sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities.

Oil prices rise in Asian tradeComment on this story
Singapore - Oil prices rose in Asian trade Thursday after stockpiles declined at a key US trading hub, indicating stronger demand, and on news of a major pipeline expansion in the United States.
New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for April delivery, rose 13 cents to $100.50 in mid-morning trade and Brent North Sea crude for May gained 29 cents to $106.14.
The US Department of Energy (DoE) report showed supplies at the Cushing, Oklahoma trading hub fell by 200,000 barrels to 29.8
Inventories at Cushing are expected to further ease after a key pipeline expansion that will facilitate the distribution of supplies from the depot comes into operation in the next few months.
Enterprise Products Partners announced it would more than double the capacity of its Seaway Pipeline to about 850,000 barrels per day by May or June.
EPP operates the pipeline, a 50-50 joint venture with Enbridge Inc.
"An announcement in the US on the potential expansion of a seaway pipeline that will double its capacity to move oil led to an increase in WTI prices," said Sanjeev Gupta, head of the Asia Pacific oil and gas practice at Ernst & Young.
Brent crude is still being influenced by the crisis in Ukraine's Crimea peninsula which was absorbed by Russia despite strong protests from Kiev and from Western powers led by the US.
The pipeline expansion and the tensions in Crimea overshadowed remarks by US Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen hinting that the central bank could raise interest rates earlier than expected.
Yellen's comments, which took the markets by surprise, led to a decline in Asian stock equities on Thursday.
The Fed also decided at the end of a two-day policy meeting to further trim its stimulus programme by $10 billion to $55 billion month, as expected.

Girls fall short in Top Gun tourney
For the second-straight year, the Eudora girls basketball team took home the second-place trophy in the Wellsville Top Gun Tournament.
The Cardinals fell behind early Saturday and couldn't quite turn a fourth-quarter rally into a win as they fell to Baldwin in the tournament finals, 33-30.
"Offensively we just really couldn't get what we wanted out of our offense," Eudora coach Ryan Luke said. "We came out tight and weren't hitting our shots."
Not hitting shots put the Cardinals into a hole early as the Bulldogs raced out to a 12-4 first-quarter advantage.
The Cardinals (8-4) continued to struggle from the field for the remainder of the half, but the Bulldogs cooled off as well, scoring only four in the second quarter.
The slowdown let the Cardinals hang around, despite hitting only three shots in the second quarter.
Baldwin put together a run to start the third and built a lead of as many as 11 before the Cardinals could bounce back.
The Bulldogs' Kelsey Verhaeghe hit three 3-pointers to help keep the Cardinals down 25-15 by the end of the third.
In the fourth, the Cardinals put together a run at the Bulldogs for the first time in the game, one which generated their first lead, 30-29.
In the end however, it was the Bulldogs' Katelyn Miles who finally put the game away late with two free throws with less than 10 seconds to go.
"We were disappointed," Luke said. "We really wanted to come out and win that game."
In the loss, sophomore Nikki Snider led the Cardinals with 11 points, nine of which came in the second half.
Snider, along with senior point guard Michelle Deluna, was named to the Top Gun All-Tournament Team.
The Baldwin match was set up by the Cardinals sixth-straight win on Thursday in the tournament semi-finals against St. Mary's, 43-39.
The method behind the win was not the preferred one for the Cardinals as the Bears bludgeoned Eudora into a 17-2 deficit before the four-minute mark of the first quarter.
"We seem to have some of those moments," Luke said. "But we fought back and we'll learn."

Perhaps Purdue sophomore guard Rapheal Davis was speaking in a moment of postgame frustration. Perhaps he was unburdening himself from a season of it.
Regardless, two sentences from Davis following the Boilermakers' 76-57 Sunday loss at Nebraska caught the attention of several Purdue fans in my Twitter feed:
"We don't play hard," Davis said. "Sometimes it doesn't look like we care a lot out there."
This of course came on the heels of the Boilermakers' most lopsided loss of the season, their seventh in nine games and their fifth straight away from Mackey Arena.
Monday morning I asked Purdue coach Matt Painter if he agreed with Davis' assertion. After first reiterating his annoyance with so-called "general" questions (although since Davis said "we" twice it seemed to imply this was a team-wide issue), Painter agreed with Davis' premise.
He also pointed out that this isn't the first time he's heard his players express a similar sentiment in the media, but he hasn't seen anyone remedy it yet on the court. Here's the full answer:
"I think so. … You want a general answer or you want a blanket answer to our team, when in reality, sometimes you have some young guys that haven't figured it out yet. The devil is in the details and they don't pay attention to the details, and then you're not executing that way, you're not following your scouting report, whatever that might be. But no matter who you are and how old you are, you play hard and you compete.
"I would have to agree with him, but the one thing when you play and you say those thing, you better set that example yourself and be doing everything in your power to help us win. There's nothing wrong with speaking up and saying the right things, but you have to be able to lead by example also, and I don't see anybody on our team that's just that guy. I think some guys play harder than other guys, but I just don't see it.
Painter continued the theme when asked later what we wanted to see from his team for the rest of the season.
"Compete. I think that's an important part, especially when you're struggling at this time. Everyone's taking inventory on trying to do what we need as a group, but each guy's got to be able to just dig deeper and play harder. I think we've got too many guys playing for themselves, and that's something that comes with immaturity, it comes with inexperience, it comes with guys not understanding winning basketball."
Purdue's leadership situation is currently in limbo. Terone Johnson, the returning team MVP and leading scorer, has struggled throughout the Big Ten season and was not in Sunday's starting lineup. Another senior captain, Sterling Carter, tore his ACL in that game, ending his season.
Many readers focused on the blunt first two sentences of Davis' answer. The third sentence of his quote shows that, despite the frustration, he hasn't lost hope.
"Just playing hard and caring — that will take us farther than we've ever been."

Dear Friends,
The Mister and I are heading out. I never thought I'd feel this way, but how nice to have adult sons and daughters to "hold the fort down" while we are gone! And how sweet to pack lightly for two, thinking only of the bare minimum!
I will have more to share on return. Lots going on lately that I have not had time to write about, including the thistle, below, growing close to the house. I will also take lots of pictures while I am gone and I will send them to my instagram. Feel free to follow:
Will see you all when I return!

My 04 HL original maintenance free battery has no removeable caps like some aftermarket batteries
but on the top it has a color chart for the "eye" and for one of the symptoms it says "add water"
How do you add water?
My 04 HL original maintenance free battery has no removeable caps like some aftermarket batteries
but on the top it has a color chart for the "eye" and for one of the symptoms it says "add water"
How do you add water?
If it is a Panasonic Labled( stamped on side of battery) OE Toyota battery, as I surmise, Remove the 2 sticker lables on the center portion of top of battery, Voila, yu will see Cell caps that can be removed with a screw driver. I would test the voltage before and after servicing the battery for comparison purposes. This will indicate if there was any issue forthcoming prior to a fill up as needed. The end cells usually will need a liitle more water. (normal after several years) But, a single inner cell that is very low is a sign of a problem battery down the road.USE ONLY Distilled water!!!
If they are not up to the lower ring inside each cell, add some distilled water...a small bit at a time, Do not overfill. I like to trickel charge at this point for insurance, but a nice drive would suffice. Yu could also use a battery hygrometer to test each cell before yu fill each up...again Only with Distilled water. Using Tap Water WILL destroy an otherwise serviceable battery.
it is time for new battery. it will eliminate a lot problems later. But you still do whatever you like. it is your.
good luck.
Yu don't add distilled water to the "Eye" plug!
Yu add to the individual cell caps (raised portion on top) under the sticker lables (2) that get removed.
Alternatively, The Panasonic Battery is of High grade quality and IS serviceable. It has a translucent/clear case and if yu remove the battery from the vehicle and place on level surface, yu will see the sides are stamped with Lines indicating FULL and ADD lines. This is a decent indicator of the electrolyte level without removing the cell caps.
Once yu opt for a new battery, No Toyota dealer is going to get yu this Panasonic battery. They are selling budget grade garbage. Best to shop around and pay Good money elswhere for a high CC amp battery. Exide and Interstate Batteries come to mind. Optima is popular too, but I feel over rated. Optima is known for their deep cycle batteries (for Boats etc.)
Your call.
To really know if yu need a battery it must be bench tested for Cranking amps. My opinion is if it was never abused, and is working fine, just service it , clean and grease terminals, check level and yu should be fine for another year or so. The Panasonic's have lasted many years, Unlike ANY Toyota "TRUE START" Dealer replacement battery.(Crap)
5+ years is pretty much normal on these OE Panasonic's. If the Eye is green and yu never had any issues prior, then this battery is probably still good.
Just my thoughts.

28 papers quit Obama to endorse Romney
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 11/03/2012 @ 9:28 pm In Politics | No Comments
(The Blaze) Do newspaper endorsements mean what they used to? Maybe not. But Mitt Romney has over one hundred of them, which is an impressive feat for a Republican. However, Romney's ability to convert editorial boards away from their decisions to endorse President Obama four years ago is truly impressive.
To date, twenty-eight large newspapers have decided to drop their endorsement record with President Obama and put their chips all in on Romney. The blunt explanations for their decisions often gives way to some blistering critiques of the president, leaving the reader no doubt why these papers lost their faith over the last four years.

Here's an interview I did with Alan Moore a few years back:
I think it features the only full audio version of his demonic possession story which has gained a certain level of notoriety in occult circles because, as you'd expect, it's really well told.
Alan Moore is the reason I first gave the world of occultism any serious attention and so I selfishly draw him into the subject in quite some detail once we've chatted about comics.
The podcast also features an interview, recorded on the same day, regarding Mr Moore's dislike of film conversions of his work. It wasn't possible to broadcast this interview in its full form so it features like this here for the first time.
I hope my fellow Disinfonaughts will forgive me such a blatant plug, I try to put up as many interesting stories as possible on here so every now and then it's nice to push something like this.

Protein kinases of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: the kinome of a divergent eukaryote

BMC Genomics 2004, 5:79 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-5-79Published: 12 October 2004
Malaria, caused by the parasitic protist Plasmodium falciparum, represents a major public health problem in the developing world. The P. falciparum genome has been sequenced, which provides new opportunities for the identification of novel drug targets. Eukaryotic protein kinases (ePKs) form a large family of enzymes with crucial roles in most cellular processes; hence malarial ePKS represent potential drug targets. We report an exhaustive analysis of the P. falciparum genomic database (PlasmoDB) aimed at identifying and classifying all ePKs in this organism.
Using a variety of bioinformatics tools, we identified 65 malarial ePK sequences and constructed a phylogenetic tree to position these sequences relative to the seven established ePK groups. Predominant features of the tree were: (i) that several malarial sequences did not cluster within any of the known ePK groups; (ii) that the CMGC group, whose members are usually involved in the control of cell proliferation, had the highest number of malarial ePKs; and (iii) that no malarial ePK clustered with the tyrosine kinase (TyrK) or STE groups, pointing to the absence of three-component MAPK modules in the parasite. A novel family of 20 ePK-related sequences was identified and called FIKK, on the basis of a conserved amino acid motif. The FIKK family seems restricted to Apicomplexa, with 20 members in P. falciparum and just one member in some other Apicomplexan species.
The considerable phylogenetic distance between Apicomplexa and other Eukaryotes is reflected by profound divergences between the kinome of malaria parasites and that of yeast or mammalian cells.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, that I burn London down... Rich is in shock at the events in London and fearful that the 15 year old in the front row might mug him for his AIOTM DVD, but it all works out fine. Rich's guest is Glasgow lawyer turned comedian Susan Calman who has lots to say on the riots and Jimmy hats and comedy. Rich is terribly indiscreet about his fellow cast members from the 1992 Fringe sketch show - the dum show. Thanks to the audience members who bought a crown for the King of Edinburgh - though Rich wants to make it clear he is not encouraging this nickname. With stand-up from Naz Osmanoglu.

Things That Make Me Snarf - Who You Gonna Call?
The only way this could have been better is if they would have had a Lewis impersonator staggering around with glasses askew and slime all over him.
7 comments:
A - Simply glorious.
B - They should've gotten a tall fat guy to stick marshmallows all over his body and be the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.
C - It would surprise me in no way if this violates a zero tolerance policy re: guns, or if SWAT got called out because of these four "snipers." ::eye roll::
D - I'm glad the beginning picture shows that it's going to be a Ghostbuster related video, so ghosts are to be expected. Otherwise, the beginning might look a touch peculiar. White kid, in a white sheet + black security guard COULD = a potentially volatile situation. Just sayin'.
