Does anybody remember the 4th ammendment?
Sign up for the "healthcare exchange" and apparently you no longer have 4th ammendment rights. Police ad the IRS will be able to sift through your personal information looking for any "out of the ordinary" behavior.
I guess that old crusty Constitution just does not apply anymore.

HVLP painting doors white
I am pretty new to HVLP cup painting. Trying to paint interior doors white. The doors look good when not under direct light. However when I shine a spotlight on them you can definitely see the "stroke marks".
I am using latex paint with Flotrol and thinned down with water. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
using a latex paint is what is wrong. It will never spray well with a cup gun. Use acrylic latex at least, but oil is much friendlier with spray guns. These marks are from the paint "flashing" like drying to fast before coating the next pass. Seems like you have too much pressure for the viscosity of the paint.
Actually I believe that it is acrylic latex. What is a good pressure to set at the input side of the gun (trigger off)?
you want the pressure as low as possible and still allowing atomization. Usually use about 50-55 PSI with cup guns. Overlap by 1/3 with each pass. Be sure to maintain a wet flow. Put on at least 2 mil wet thickness with each coat. Oil will always yield a better spray with HVLP. I use an airless for latex.
HVLP, I have three of them. Stains and oils are perfect. You just can't get enough material on the door unless you 2 coat with latex. Use an airless.with a 413-415 tip. Don't thin your paint. your doors will come out awesome.
Dgideon is right. Rent an airless. Its easy to use and you can spray the paint with-out diluting. Good luck.
There are HVLPs, and then there are HVLPs....
Well, sorry, HVLPs are not the best tool for this job (latex) by any means
In fact, it's a poor choice by a large margin
An airless is by far the best way to go if you want to spray this stuff
So first off, it's the wrong tool for the job
But...to answer your question with anything other than guessing, you'd need to post up exactly what product and tool you are using
Then, there's a quality issue
(which may not apply to you but I'd like to mention it here for other readers who may look for info but not post, and as it has popped up here numerous times)
By no means are most cup sprayers labeled as HVLP, and sold at HD, W*M, and some Hardware Chains, that attach to your compressor, true HVLPs
They are not the same tools your cabinet finisher, auto painter, or trim painter, are referring to (these come with their own turbine or compressor, and cost hundreds to thousands of dollars)
Most W*M/HD "HVLPs" are (cheap) cup sprayers that attach to your compressor, and have input/output controls- not the same thing
Don't get me wrong, they have their uses (I own more than one myself)
But this is not one of them

Franchise Fee Bill Could Cost Pocatello $80K
POCATELLO, Idaho - After kicking it around in some form or another for the last six years, the state Legislature may finally adopt a bill to change the way franchise fees work. Some said it could be bad news for Idaho cities, and could cost Pocatello nearly $80,000.
Currently, Idaho cities can collect a 5 percent franchise fee on the general revenues of cable companies. House Bill 410 would basically make that a state responsibility, not a local one. The bill is primarily being pushed by CenturyLink, that said it won't bring its newest brand of television service to Idaho without getting rid of that fee, said Pocatello Chief Financial Officer David Swindell.
The bill would also eliminate the city's current contracts with cable companies, where the $80,000 loss would come from, he said.
"It's just another degree of freedom we would lose. I mean, $80,000 a year is significant," Swindell said.
The city will lose the ability to regulate companies when they do things such as, dig up a street to put in new lines, he said.
The fee goes to pay for right-of-ways that companies need to build infrastructure, and while the current bill would provide for some of those costs, Swindell said that accountability is the real issue.
"If you cut a trench across our street did you tell anybody you were going to do it? Did you have traffic control? Did you put it back correctly? Those issues and responsibilities don't go away even if our authority over those matters is diminished," he said.
But, City Council Member Steve Brown said, Pocatello is in a losing position either way.
"As I look at the political environment for this legislation, it's either going to pass with us, or it's going to pass without us. The question really is, do we want to participate at all in it passing?" Brown said.
The city would be in a better position if it sat down with the city of Boise, CenturyLink and the cable companies and worked out a deal, Brown said. But, much of what the city hoped to negotiate for is off the table as the bill moves swiftly through the Legislature, he said.
"If we don't come to the table, we're going to miss our chance to participate at all," Brown said.
That chance to participate may already be gone, as the Legislature will be doing work on the bill on Wednesday that could solidify it and get rid of the negotiating table completely, Brown said.
The city of Boise and the Association of Idaho Cities both oppose the bill in its current form, as well.
The franchise fee also goes to fund Pocatello's public access channel.

Damp smell?
I've noticed on a couple occasions, a damp, "wet dog" type smell coming out of the vents. It seems like there may be moisture in the airducts or something. My brother said he had a similar problem with his Volvo, and then they activated "after blow," which turns on the fans for a while after he gets out of the car, and it fixed his problem. Anyone know if the TSB for the HVAC solves this problem? Anyone else notice this?
Re: Damp smell?
I have smelled that wet dog smell a couple times too but I couldn't pinpoint it because it dissipated fast.
I have only had my wk2 10 days.
Re: Damp smell?
I noticed it also. My window would be fogged up a little on the inside above the defroster vents too. It was a week after owning it but has stopped for now. The Dodge ram had that problem for a few guys and they just ran the fan for a few before shutdown.(No AC just fan)
Re: Damp smell?
Yeah I get it when the weather starts getting warmer. I usually run the fan on med and cycle through the zones and spray anti mold/mildew spray into the intake right below the windshield on. The passenger side. Or you can use Lysol but then you have the smell. But from what I hear the in cabin micro filter helps eliminate that v
Re: Damp smell?
I would suspect you have a drainage problem, blocked or kinked drain tube from the AC evaporator compartment.
After you shut down do you see a small puddle under the car?
You should if the drain is working!
Re: Damp smell?
I have the puddle but I still get the smell. I think cause I rarely run the AC in the summer. Not to save gas but I like the feel on the wind blowing with all windows down and sunroof open and music on blast! LOL
Re: Damp smell?
The dealers have a process that they can "deodorize" the HVAC systems. I had to have this done with my Limited, they also changed the cabin filter. After that I've never had another issue.
Re: Damp smell?
This has happened to some of our vehicles over the years, especially around the beginning of spring when temps have wild swings. I usually changed out the HVAC air filters on the vehicles that had them to fix the smell. None of our current vehicles including our WK2 have a smell (knocks on wood trim). To help prevent HVAC smells, after you run the AC a lot try running the system vents at full blast with the AC off for the last block of your trip to clear out the heat exchanger if you plan on parking for several days.
For stubborn wet dog syndrome, it may take more work. A few older vehicles we had without filters were only fixed by running ozone gas through the HVAC intake for several minutes to saturate the ducting. Then, the intake & vents were sealed for ~24hrs after which fresh air was run for a while to clear out the ozone. It worked well.
A cheap method you might try is running the AC with the temp set to 90 (i.e. full hot) for an extended trip with the windows open; heat can sometimes cook off the smell and it may need several extended runs. It is not as effective as a new filter and a blast of ozone. Good luck!
Re: Damp smell?
Or just go to your dealer and tell them you want the system deodorized.... It's free and they should install a new cabin filter. My dealer did no guestions asked.
Re: Damp smell?
Yes, I get that wet dog smell sometimes. Still no idea why.
Re: Damp smell?
Haha to the above post..
But in all seriousness I just noticed this smell now as we start using heat in our jeep.. Just every once in a while a wet dog type smell for a split second or 2.. Then it goes away..
Re: Damp smell?
This was happening to me, but as soon as I changed out my cabin air filter the smell went away. IF you change out your filter and the smell doesn't go away(happened to me once), what I did was this--
Take cabin air filter out
Pop hood, and spray lysol down the HVAC air intake right below the windshield
Run your heat for about 5 minutes(on fresh mode) after you spray the lysol, then run it on recirculation for a few more minutes. I sometimes spray a little more while the heat is running full blast.
Usually after I do this, I then run some cold air through the system(I don't know why, just habit I suppose).
Repeat as many times as necessary to get bad/damp smell out.
Put new filter in.
Breathe in that fresh air

Michael Mindel began his unofficial restaurant career at the age of nine, assisting his father with whatever chores he had for his son at Spectrum Foods, the renowned restaurant group the elder Mindel founded in the early seventies that ultimately included 16 restaurants throughout California, including Chianti in Los Angeles, Harry's Bar and Prego in San Francisco, and Guymas in Marin County.

She's currently working on a collection of essays about her move to San Francisco and she's always on the look-out for a funny story.
Charles Phan was born in South Vietnam, but when his homeland fell to the Vietcong, he and his family moved briefly to Guam and then settled in San Francisco. In 1995, Phan opened The Slanted Door, a restaurant that broke the mold of the run-of-the-mill "ethnic" joint. "No one was doing a high-design, high-service Asian restaurant," Phan recalls. Instead of serving dozens of mediocre entrées at The Slanted Door, Phan concentrated on a small rotating menu of authentic home-style Vietnamese dishes. He highlighted fresh, seasonal ingredients from small local farms and paired his menus with a creative wine list.

About MeI go by Annah Vera!
I'm currently doing free lance modelling as a hobby in my spare time. I am a really energetic, silly person who loves to laugh and have fun (especially during my photo shoots hehe). I prefer to do more of the alternative modeling shoots, I currently have 5 piercings and 2 tattoos however, please note that all my body modifications are very easily hidden. I work part time selling make up and skin care so I'm quite capable of doing my own make-up if need be.
I am only modeling in the Greater Toronto Area and hoping to meet some great connections on here.
I think my greatest features are my skin, my lips and my eyes. I was blessed with very clear skin people say its almost porcelain (little- no editing was done to my skin in any of my photographs). Being a half breed (half English half Philippina) gave me a unique combination of big lips, pale skin and deep brown eyes.
I took photography classes in university for a while and at a time I aspired to be a photographer. Seeing as I used to be on the opposite side of the camera I learned how to give directions to models so, now when I hear directions I find it's really easy to follow them.
So if you're interested in shooting with me send me a message and lets talk! <3

st: Stata 9 not throwing error when merging with uniqusing and using not unique
"Brian Karfunkel" <email@example.com>
st: Stata 9 not throwing error when merging with uniqusing and using not unique
Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:51:57 -0700
I am currently in the process of taking old do-files written under
Stata 9 and converting them to Stata 10.
In one case, the old file contains the following code:
* Merge in codes
foreach var in body_part cause nature_of_injury {
sort `var'_code
merge `var'_code using `PROJECT_ROOT'/data/`var'_codes, uniqusing nokeep
tab _merge
drop _merge
move `var' `var'_code
To be clear, there are .dta files named "body_part_codes.dta"
"cause_codes.dta" and "nature_of_injury_codes.dta" which have two
variables, one (called "body_part_code", "cause_code", or
"nature_of_injury_code", depending on which file it is) being a code
stored as a string and the second ("body_part", "cause", or
"nature_of_injury") being a string corresponding to what the code
means (e.g. "Head", "Fall", "Sprain").
For example, an excerpt from body_part_codes.dta:
| body_part_code body_part |
1. | 02 Abdomen |
2. | 04 Spinal Cord |
3. | 05 Brain |
4. | 06 Ankles |
5. | 09 Arms |
6. | 10 Head - Multiple Head |
7. | 11 Head - Skull |
8. | 12 Head - Brain |
9. | 13 Head - Ear(s) |
10. | 13 Back |
Note that 13 is a duplicate.
When this program was run on a Windows XP machine with Stata 9.2 (born
July 20 2007), this caused no errors. However, when I run the same
code on my Vista machine with Stata 10, it throws an error because the
variable body_part_code is not unique in the using file. Looking at
the body_part_codes file, I find that this is in fact correct, that
there are some codes that are duplicated. For example, "03"
corresponds both to "Head" and "Back".
Why wasn't this throwing an error in Stata 9.2? When I version the
do-file to Stata 9 and run it with Stata 10, it still throws an error.
Was this a bug? I am worried that there may be other problems with our
files that are not being flagged as they are supposed to be.
I am baffled, and I appreciate any help you can give me.

We learned to sing this traditional Zulu song several years ago. I believe it�s sung at weddings with the appropriate name of the bride�s home added. �I know a beautiful lady who lives in Xxxxxxxx�. I�ve used the harmonies we were taught aurally as parts for various instruments. It makes a great processional piece at the beginning of concerts � once learned no music necessary. Lots that can be done with it too: Improvisations, percussion. It's in 4/4 Swing to make reading easier, but I doubt if that's authentic! Scores and parts in Bb, Eb and just one example of mixing C, Bb and Eb instruments are available at my home page � all parts are interchangeable and all come with easy version beneath the main part so anyone can join in. Have fun with it!

The Red Sox win I don't know walking bowl winner mentality. Us. Another three run shot. And it goes crashing into the -- -- When he took a big bucket of Gatorade and speed a little over everybody. Like Gatorade shower is getting mobbed their staring off in Jersey. Leaves -- the boys. You know that was Joseph -- plan that I realized that shredder. That is the highlight of the 2013 SC -- like you know a T a a teams seven at 2012 -- teams have like a highlight package end of the year -- get together. That move right there that that while we just play with Cody Ross and -- that was the highlight. The Red Sox 2012 -- this let's bring on Cody Ross of the Arizona Diamondbacks because -- let me tell you I know you with Arizona right now but -- I'm still pulled for a 11. Little bit job home run this week and play for them but. I'll be happy Pete is not a game what I'm pulling for. I appreciate that they don't get. Do a good Cody. It's getting to be back here at Fenway and a lot of Red Sox fans it was a brief time -- -- enjoyed your time here. Is that just like the track as a traffic too much for embossed -- wanna get a little Arizona not as hard to get to the ballpark and game day for the. He has not now -- yeah I'd be out but he actually lived. A rack up the street and I lived here. And it was he'd be better had to be wise to the ballpark so. You know I'd definitely minutes that. Obviously not well my teammates. A great city and apologized to urban noise as. Actually walking around. Downtown right now on. Episode in the city and we got in like 5 in the morning and and I'm like and a minor -- -- a gallery open and you know. And waste as a game -- since I got up and walk around and enjoy this great city meant. -- 888 WMR -- atmosphere now it's probably a little bit different in the one. You guys felt last year to come -- to walk off wins the way this team -- playing baseball right now and and I always thought you were really good fit for this team in this city got a walk in here today and say -- what could've been like this this is what I. Why I signed here in the first place and and given everything that happened last year. Yeah I mean on the -- Going in so that you -- -- while -- and after 2011. You know so that quote unquote collapse of eleven. You know looking on paper. To a good. A really really really -- human I was. You know I signed up they come here and try to be a little small piece to help. If that. You know -- -- over the top and com you know from from day one at -- It was a disaster. And you know I mean. -- it as much. Time back there and as many. -- -- the line. Took away. You know it was there that upbeat and -- away -- all of us. You know to watch these guys now. Basically. I -- close in the same core group of guys are good in my -- -- -- -- -- -- -- just on a lot. Of a lot of character in. Playing really well right now. Sure Cody set it was a tough year if he had a qualifier would you call the toughest year of your career in terms of the atmosphere -- last year. Yeah absolutely I mean. You know I had I did. Come up in 2000 -- -- on the Detroit Tigers. For a small period of time a lot 119 games which. Battled some pretty bad but you know east side early on trying to struck well and you know -- more dogged it in. Then and then not get sent down and you know we're here. And and older veteran players on that side you know I'm Margaret a win in. Go there and opposite and you know obviously it's it's that -- Tough a time but some on the -- and the like a set -- -- absolute -- -- some amazing people. Friendship so I'll carry on the rest of my life not only baseball realized that a lot -- You know. I -- and I missed the that's a lot. You know when this team sort of got split up there in August and big trade him so that direction it was going in. You know I was surprised that the fact that they didn't -- you Lofton Hampshire team would have. Liked to had you down the stretch I was assigned to me that there's no question of bringing you back and it was going to be an extension or something out. How surprised were you that that you didn't come back here and in what was that offseason like. Yeah we didn't mean. Maybe we kind of in the state -- don't want them where and -- You know in that. And I don't like it here. I get cute but showing here and you know I mean I -- that -- earlier and when you tell. You wanna come back the players. While the now that certainly but it get -- What you know I mean when they didn't trade we're gonna get around on. You know then -- -- Let it go on until the Nazis and we got it down. Easily and you know. The during the year -- You know that problem was they were a couple of years and they wanted to get to meet her Q and -- battery and we could never come there. That -- on it and you know. They needed. -- -- -- I think -- -- happened somewhere out by. On -- it was shall be but. Where you'd really like like it was a and knows you know we -- he would be -- -- the Miguel out of that. Room. From then. You know I mean. Obviously. It was that. Blasting -- and I got to go on and it'll be alive. I don't agree. That. In trainer owner. And map out here you know that the business adamant that span of one here and know that. By -- you know -- situation. People that they do something different and I'll be. So you know it it is what it is on out is. And anybody right now. You know obviously my time here -- incredible but. A play. Now during during the season at or around you when you. He's going to get -- -- that dirt during the season that trade deadline do you do what. Dollar. I never once I got traded yeah I didn't drive the price suffered varying. I wouldn't -- You know upset me coming back here -- wanted to share values and air. You know years and a -- -- -- -- wanted to go there and for whatever reason I have no idea and then head back -- it they thought that they don't -- I got the long term deal negates. It appeared on the -- -- your -- Diller or your daughter was and then. And so basically lied to me. And then and and and you know though at that apple and I got a got a little bad it went out and sort of wanted to move on and -- don't -- out of debt so. Eluded him like that but. -- It's not a great time being here. Maybe you were talking to Cody Ross now playing outfield the Diamondbacks their town this weekend based on your your. Europe feelings a lot last year's team and how it ended up be surprised Cody how quickly they turn it around now 66 wins the Red Sox help. You know they went three of the next four -- they're gonna have as many wins that you guys had all last year as a team. Yeah I know I'm it truly isn't anything I mean obviously. We were. Very injured last year I'm. It was the I'm not mean back then and Buchholz are. Back to being there are which. Laps here. Not really anywhere and Tom. You know it was. The top -- everybody and I don't know. How much. -- and Bobby played are all a matter whatever but it was. I get that that big truck drives. I took a step at at a at a a -- what they ask you about that I know what's that nobody questions but I did -- because one of the exit. One of the things that that's really changed this in this team is that atmosphere wind -- -- that ballpark a lot of people point the John Ferrell in his coaching staff not just him but the coaches he brought in. The communication. How much -- do you think that could've played in to have Bobby in the and they did a lack of communication and trust in that locker. On the young and he hit it they've played a lot I mean obviously. In the with a lot of people it'll work -- -- and armed. -- -- Maybe it was fact that they are a lot of the players are so used to wait your rant saying in the way he did it and body and it's all cultures and hole everything in. Just nobody really wanted to -- and -- -- order up a lot of people who weigh in on you know just kind of how important but. You know you can make all the excuses you liner or whatever but you know women we have to go out there quietly at the form. Matter who's their manager lot of managers are obsolete playing -- on -- trying to beat them out of the equation but. If we can never really get on a roll -- and while there's an injury sort of that a lot -- -- We set he set -- A you mention a lot of guys were unhappy I'm curious now looking back on it was that. Theme from the beginning we heard from the outside as the year went on you guys were. The words -- to get out to the media Cody that the team wasn't happy it -- start from day one. Last year the guys let other guys know they weren't happy in the situation -- -- -- yeah I mean it really truly did not to. They've started they want extra training. There was you know by. Bobby and my -- that a little. Deal that happened and from now on it like one thing after another. Player after player and. And there -- a little stop and is that outback avenue in the -- and everybody's hand out. I'm you know you now the media here. Is that -- and I gonna let up on it. Keep on the driving driving it the way you go to. Did you have any issues that you were issued to Bobby. Personally. Operator or might be -- hard and the only guy in. Obviously. Yeah. The athletic gritty he's. -- They're adamant that -- did that at the elite. And it. So when you look at it would obviously differ elation -- with with Kirk Gibson what he's been able to do with your. Out of division you guys are in this thing to two months ago. Yeah I mean we. And the way we don't and all that great you don't agree here so far we. We played well we played small ball do little -- -- we got the ball. -- we pitch. Let it -- -- regular guys. Up there and grind it out play hard it might clear. A lot of looked like the team out there on out there and then won the World Series a lot of I grew up their ardent. No no real superstars but. Some of them in goal at the U guys but that -- and can I let you know I. On and on your yeah that's this year. Well you one of the bright spots last year and difficult season and wish you could have been a part of what what's going on now in the city because it is special like I said you know be happening it went over that pretty much to hope that costs except. Just remember at Santa -- for -- make good luck this weekend. Expect I appreciated I think now they are. Now that is Cody Ross former Red Sox self driven out the Arizona Diamondbacks joining us here. On the -- the outline AT&T forgy LTE speeds up to ten times faster than three GAT TNT. Rethink possible very -- get a break come back tea what's on tap in salt and holing. -- from the up PNC starting line here on Sports Radio WEEI.

Lakers Spoil Celtics Ray Allens Record Night | Barry's Tickets Service
Ray Allen scored 12 first quarter points–including two three pointers to move past Reggie Miller into sole possession of first place on the career list for three pointers made–as the Boston Celtics cruised to a 27-20 first quarter lead over the L.A. Lakers. The Celtics eventually pushed that margin to 15 points but then Kobe Bryant erupted for 20 second half points and the Lakers emerged with a 92-86 win, their first victory of the season against a legitimate championship contender. "Statement game" is a somewhat overused phrase but, whatever you call it, at some point before the playoffs began the Lakers needed to prove that they could summon up the necessary concentration and effort to beat a top level squad.

How Non-Profits are Exploring Augmented Reality Tech
Geoff Livingston co-founded Zoetica to focus on cause-related work, and released an award-winning book on new media Now is Gone in 2007.Augmented reality promises a new level of interaction between people and data. Now, even the newest for-profit applications can turn heads by utilizing this new advanced technology.The non-profit sector has started to experiment with augmented reality. One of Sunlight Labs early entries is their Recovery.gov mashup. Another example is Amsterdams Allard Pierson Museum, which highlights virtual reconstructions of Satricum and the Forum Romanum. But while there are early leaders, non-profits generally lag behind in market experimentation.Several technical non-profits are currently experimenting with augmented reality, said Nathan Makino, Chief Executive Officer of Immersive Tech, a non-profit focusing on the adoption of immersive technology. Other non-profits support and participate at the International Symposium for Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) Non-technical NPOs may need a few more years for AR to become mainstream enough to warrant its adoption.Looking into this adoption cycle shows several reasons why non-profits are not experimenting as much with augmented reality as other business sectors. There are, however, clear trends toward the future of non-profit augmented reality that can help guide early adopters.Non-Profits Need More than Just CoolNon-profits are often cash strapped. In fact, this year alone has seen 40% of non-profits receive less funding. Engaging with a new technology often requires funding or a clear return on investment, whether that be education, fundraising or activism.Many non-profits are limited in resources both money and time as well as staff technical expertise, said Beth Kanter, author of The Networked Nonprofit. If the technology requires a high price to entry, then it takes longer.For the average non-profit, augmented reality just cant be about playing with a cool, new shiny object. There needs to be a real valuable use, either for the organization or its funders. In that sense, non-profits can learn from some of the endeavors of for-profit industry. Even major corporations that dont feel budgetary pressure as much as many non-profits are hesitant to jump into augmented reality because of concerns over proof of ROI.To me, the biggest challenge is simply finding a reason to do it beyond were using augmented reality, said Christopher Barger, director of global social media at GM, who has used augmented reality to promote some of its automobiles like the Chevrolet Camaro. Whenever theres a hot new technology or application, theres a lot of pressure much of it self-imposed to just dive in or get in there, start using it so that you can say that you are and that youre cutting edge.Our biggest challenge was, and continues to be, cracking that code of finding ways to apply the technology that are useful to an audience, added Barger. The trick [for non-profits], though, will be the same as for a for-profit business: Find a use for AR that provides actual value for the user, gives them a reason to use your app over the hundreds or thousands of others they might download.Further, augmented reality has been met with mixed responses, according to Immersive Techs Makino. I see two main causes for this: Hardware limitations and gimmicky software applications, said Makino, either of which could decrease user value a key component of AR success, according to Barger. Makino echoed Bargers concerns that apps must provide real value to users in order for them to make sense for non-profit investment. For non-profits, AR will be adopted as long as it significantly aids the organization and its mission. the killer app will have to offer utility that standard web based delivery cannot.Full disclosure: Beth Kanter is a co-founder of Zoetica.Some Non-Profit Breakthroughs?Even though non-profits may not be leading the pack towards augmented reality adoption, there are many clear use cases, and adoption by a handful of major organizations indicates that more non-profits may get on board. Especially since development costs are starting to come down.Think about the opportunities for engaging people with service delivery organizations. If someone can actually see where everything is and how to get there, they are probably more likely to go, said Amy Sample Ward, global community development manager for NetSquared, who also pointed out how there are also plenty of opportunities to use AR in teaching environments. Or the opportunities for education (and support appeals) for historic or natural spaces that can integrate with someones experience exploring the space.Though the Allard Pierson Museum has already demonstrated that augmented reality can be useful for educating, the New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative said in their 2010 Horizon Report that theyre still a few years out from widespread adoption. Still, augmented reality is establishing a foothold in the consumer sector, and in a form much easier to access than originally envisioned, the report concluded.Another non-profit use could be for the arts. Consider the physical nature of both visual and performing arts; extending those experiences with data-enhanced information viewed on a screen is a natural progression. I could also see apps that have some simulations that drive advocacy calls to action for museums [or] exhibits, Kanter said. In fact, some visual artists are already exploring the potential of AR.So while the use cases are clearly there, there isnt wide adoption of AR in the non-profit community just yet. It is likely coming, though. Im sure non-profits will begin experimenting with augmented reality this year, said Frank Barry, professional services manager at Blackbaud and blogger at NetWits ThinkTank. Barry said that non-profits need a good proof-of-concept from a pioneer in the space to show others the way. Once that happens others will get a vision and follow.What non-profit uses of augmented reality do you foresee in the near future?More Non-Profit Resources from Mashable: - How CrisisCommons Is Helping the Tech Community Help Others - 5 Social Fundraising Alternatives to Facebook Causes - 5 Non-Profit iPhone Apps You Should Know About - 8 Tips for a Successful Social Media Cause Campaign - How Non-Profits are Using Social Media for Real ResultsImage courtesy of iStockphoto, BliznetsovReviews: iStockphotoMore About: AR, Augmented Reality, business, non-profit, non-profits, nonprofit, techFor more Tech coverage:Follow Mashable Tech on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Tech channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad

September 3, 2013 - Landsat 8 satellite sees Rim Fire from space
Two recent images from the Landsat 8 satellite compare land conditions in the vicinity of Yosemite National Park, California, before (August 15) and during the Rim Fire (August 31). Started on August 17, the Rim Fire had burned over 219,000 acres by August 31 (an area nearly 15 times the size of Manhattan Island). Both images are false-colored using bands 6, 5, 4 to allow identification of critical vegetation and fuels information that will help firefighters and emergency managers. In the images fire appears bright red, vegetation is green, smoke is blue, clouds are white, and bare ground is tan-colored.
For more information, about Landsat imagery of the Rim Fire, see the USGS press release.
July 25, 2013 - The Stuart Creek 2 Fire
The Stuart Creek 2 Fire started June 19, 2013, near Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. When the Landsat 8 image above was captured on July 13, 2013, the fire had already burned nearly 85,000 acres. So far this summer, over 70 fires have destroyed more than 1 million acres in Alaska. Still noticeable on both images is the scar left by the 2012 Dry Creek Fire (on the left) that burned over 48,000 acres.
For more information on the image, please go to the Image of the Week Gallery
July 11, 2013 - Texas Oil Field Expansion
Oil and natural gas production are the primary industries for Odessa (left) and Midland (right) in western Texas. The Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 images above show the expansion of the oil industry in this region over the past 29 years. The white dots (oil well locations) increase noticeably between these two images.
Additional information about these Landsat images can be found in the Image of the Week gallery.
June 25, 2013 - Black Forest Fire
Started on June 11, 2013, the Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs, Colorado, (lower left) was the state's most destructive wildfire in history, burning over 14,000 acres and destroying more than 500 homes. The images above show the area as seen from the Landsat 7 satellite (acquired April 27, 2013) and Landsat 8 satellite (acquired June 22, 2013). The burned area can easily be seen in red tones.
Additional information about these Landsat images can be found in the Image of the Week gallery.
June 6, 2013 - Oklahoma's scarred landscape
The scar of the May 20 EF-5 tornado that leveled much of Moore, Oklahoma, is clearly visible in the false-color image above. Acquired on June 2 by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite, the image combines green, red, and infrared wavelengths of light to better distinguish between water, vegetation, bare ground, and human developments. Water is blue. Buildings and paved surfaces are blue-gray. Vegetation is red. The tornado track appears as a beige stripe running west to east across this image; the color reveals the lack of vegetation in the wake of the storm.

May 10, 2013 - LDCM Already Helping Assess Burn Severity
A wildfire that started on May 2 near Camarillo in southern California was captured by the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), the newest Landsat satellite, as it passed over the Springs Fire on May 4. The false-color image from LDCM's Operational Land Imager (OLI) reveals the extent of the burned area in comparison to the March 2010 Landsat 5 image of the same area. Unburned vegetation appears dark green and burned areas are red, with the most severely burned areas the darkest. Satellite data such as the above are used to develop burn severity maps, often within hours of a wildfire, helping crews on the ground evaluate possible flood and landslide risks. To learn more about how scientists assess burn severity with satellite images, go to http://mtbs.gov/.

April 23, 2013 - New NASA/USGS Satellite Takes the Salton Sea's Temperature
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) satellite acquired these images of the Salton Sea in Southern California on March 24, 2013. The black and white image is from LDCM's Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS), which shows the amount of heat (thermal energy) radiating from the landscape. Cooler areas are dark, while warmer areas are bright. Use the slider to compare the thermal image to a natural color image acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) instrument aboard the LDCM satellite.

March 21, 2013 - First image from the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM)
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), launched on February 11, captured this image on March 18 where the Great Plains meet the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Colorado. This natural color Landsat scene emulates the true colors the human eye would see from space.
LDCM will begin its normal operations in May when NASA turns the mission over to the USGS. Images from the new satellite will start being added to the Landsat Data Archive at EROS and distributed for free over the Internet.

February 1, 2013 - From Katrina to Super Bowl XLVII
Built in 1975, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, previously known as the Louisiana Superdome, in New Orleans, Louisiana, hosted six Super Bowls between 1978 and 2002 and sheltered thousands of residents during Hurricanes Georges (1998) and Ivan (2004). However, when Hurricane Katrina came ashore on August 29, 2005, the Superdome suffered massive damage and severe flooding, as shown in the September 2005 image above, threatening the safety of residents once again seeking shelter there. A little more than a year later in September 2006, the Superdome, home to the New Orleans Saints, reopened its doors. The March 2012 image above shows the renovations to New Orleans and the Superdome.
This Sunday, February 3, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome is hosting the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVI, the first Super Bowl hosted at the Superdome since the 2005 storm.

10. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
The Assassin's Creed games have gone on to become a staple franchise in this industry, and the series finally made the jump to handhelds with Liberation. Serving up a stellar experience that made little compromises in its transition to Vita, Liberation is not only a visual and gameplay achievement, but it also stars a powerful female protagonist.
9. Killzone Mercenary
The first-person shooter genre never fit particularly well on a handheld... until Killzone Mercenary came onto the scene. Taking full advantage of PlayStation's Vita's incredible power and dual sticks, this portable shooter succeeded where games like Resistance: Burning Skies and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified failed. If you're looking for a solid FPS on the go, this is undoubtedly your best option.
8. Tearaway
The game that perhaps makes the very best use of nearly all the bells and whistles packed into Vita has got to be Media Molecule's charming little adventure, Tearaway. Seriously, this game will have you grinning from ear to ear in childlike wonder as you tap along the device's rear touch to see your finger tear through the paper world. It's insanely creative and even more charming than LBP, if you can believe that.
7. Muramasa Rebirth
Those looking for a work of visual splendor for their Vita simply have to purchase Muramasa Rebirth. This excellent action role-playing game re-designed to take advantage of Sony's handheld hardware is an absolute joy to look at and play. There are loads of different weapons and attacks you can acquire to take down your enemies, which are incredibly detailed and varied in their own right.
6. Soul Sacrifice
Keiji Inafune, the brilliant mind behind Mega Man, decided to make a dark and gripping Monster Hunter-inspired experience for PlayStation Vita called Soul Sacrifice. The result is a twisted action game that offers one of the deepest gameplay experiences you'll find on the platform. It's got a great story, an incredible co-op component, and some of the best audio around.

Re: Budgeting - Fiscal Policy - Importance, Taxation System of pakistan, principles TAx policy - Def
Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policy of Govt. of Pakistan primarily deals with levels and composition of taxation, spending and borrowing by Government. Fiscal policy encompasses several fundamental policy issues, including the proper role and size of the State, role of Government in promoting growth, creating jobs, social development and redistribution of benefits of economic growth, nature and extent of public services and fairness between the present and the future generations.
Government's fiscal policy has both micro and macroeconomic objectives.
Micro Economic Objectives
It includes an improved distribution of income and wealth, equitable access to social services, meeting the basic needs of poor, promoting investment in public goods and enhancing efficiency with which public and private sectors produce goods and services and their responsiveness to the needs of consumers.
Macro Economic Objectives
It relate to evolution of economy as a whole, national income and output, inflation and balance of payments. Fiscal policy must also ensure that level and structure of taxes promote equality and redistribution and do not interfere unduly in people's investment and consumption decisions.
Central objective of govt. economic policy therefore, is to build a strong economy with a view to creating employment opportunities for all and improve the standards of living of the people of Pakistan. The policies pursued thus far have injected fiscal discipline, reduced the country's debt burden, created a stable macroeconomic environment, revived economic activity and most importantly have created a strong platform of economic stability which is vital for building prosperity and achieving social justice. Economic stability allows business, individuals and the government to plan more effectively for the long-term improvement in the quantity and quality of investment. The Government is committed to locking in stability and investing in the country's future, enabling it to meet the challenge and rise to the opportunities of the global economy.
A sound fiscal policy is essential for preventing macroeconomic imbalances and realizing the full growth potential. Pakistan has witnessed serious macroeconomic imbalances in 1990s mainly on account of its fiscal profligacy. Persistence of large fiscal deficit resulted in unsustainable levels of public debt, adversely affecting country's macroeconomic environment. Pakistan accordingly paid a heavy price for its fiscal indiscipline in terms of deceleration in economic growth and investment and the associated rise in poverty. Considerable efforts have been made to inculcate financial discipline by pursuing a sound fiscal policy. Pakistan's hard earned macro economic stability is underpinned by fiscal discipline.

Re: Budgeting - Fiscal Policy - Importance, Taxation System of pakistan, principles TAx policy - Def
Taxation System of Pakistan
Tax policy is concerned with the design of a tax system that is capable of financing the necessary level of public spending in the most efficient in the equitable way possible. An efficient tax system should raise enough revenue to finance essential expenditures without recourse to excessive public sector borrowing and raise the revenue in ways that are equitable and that minimize its disincentive effects on economic activities. In developing countries, including, Pakistan, the establishment of effective and efficient tax system faces some formidable challenges. The first of these challenges is structure of economy that makes it difficult to impose and collect certain taxes. Economy of Pakistan is often characterized by a large share of agriculture in total output and employment, by large informal sector activities and occupations by many small establishment by a small share of wages in total national income and so on. All these characteristics reduce the possibility of relying on certain taxes such as income tax and to a much lesser extent on sales tax.
The structure of economy of Pakistan in association with low literacy and how human capital makes it difficult to develop a good tax administration. The staff of tax administration is not well educated and well trained, resources to pay good salary and to buy necessary equipment are limited, the tax payers have limited ability to keep accounts, the use of modern communication network is limited, it is difficult to create an efficient tax administration. The consequence of this situation is that Pakistan; often end up with too many small tax sources, too heavy reliance on foreign trade taxes and relatively insignificant use personnel income taxes. The non-availability of reliable statistics from the business makes it even more difficult for tax administration to assess the potential taxes that need to be collected. Uneven income distribution is also a major constraint in Pakistan's efficient tax system. To generate higher tax revenue, the top deciles are supposed to be taxed significantly more proportionality than low deciles. But economic and political powers are concentrated in the top deciles, which makes the task of tax department rather more difficult to collect taxes from top deciles/rich people. This is one major reason that the number of income tax payers in Pakistan is very low.

Deficit Financing
Deficit budget means that Govt. expenditure is more than its income from taxes and fee etc. Resources for deficit budget are met by borrowing, which is called Deficit Financing. In Pakistan deficit financing is needed because development programs require huge finance whereas domestic savings and income from taxes are not sufficient enough for this purpose. Increasing savings habits, population control, elimination of corruption, decrease in non-productive expenditure and increase in agricultural and industrial products and remove budget deficit.
Reasons for Deficit Financing in Pakistan
1. Increase in development programs.
2. Lack of saving habits.
3. Increase in population.
4. Lack of fiscal discipline.
5. Political instability.
6. Low output of agricultural sector.
7. Tax evasion and corruption.
8. Increase in non-productive expenditure.

Re: Budgeting - Fiscal Policy - Importance, Taxation System of pakistan, principles TAx policy - Def
Advantages of Deficit Financing
Govt. uses borrowed money for increase in social and economic infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, power projects, dams, canals and a host of other development programs, which helps in the improvement and productivity of various sectors of economy. This expenditure of Govt. increases money supply, which increases price level in the economy. Increases in prices, increases profit margins of industrialists, who in order to gain profit further accelerate their investment. New factories are established and capital formation increases. Govt. expenditure and private capital formation creates more jobs opportunities in the economy. Increase in employment increases demand for goods and services and on the other side it fosters saving as well, which again is utilized for further investment. Thus cycle of progress and prosperity keeps on moving ahead.

Re: Budgeting - Fiscal Policy - Importance, Taxation System of pakistan, principles TAx policy - Def
Disadvantages of Deficit Financing
There is always a time lag between Govt. investment and the output from the projects. Increase in supply of money creates inflation, by which poor people are badly affected. Their purchasing power reduces to a greater extent whereas profit margin of businessmen increases. Society is divided between haves and have-not. Increase in prices of domestic goods causes imports of cheaps goods whereas domestically produced goods high prices reduces the export earnings, which results in the adverse balance of payments position. Cost of production of industrial goods increases with the increase in prices of raw material etc., therefore foreign investment in the country becomes less attractive.

Gov praises RISD for fiscal responsibility
Roswell was among seven school districts in the state praised for protecting dollars in the classroom by Gov. Susana Martinez and Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera in a recent press release from the New Mexico Public Education Department.
Roswell [auth] Independent School District was applauded as the example in the southeast part of the state for increasing dollars to its schools to over 75 percent of the district's budget.
"The Roswell Independent School District School Board, along with my administrative staff and I, fully understood Gov. Martinez's and Secretary Skandera's directive to focus on the classrooms and reduce administrative costs.
We took this endeavor very seriously and planned our budget accordingly,†wrote Beverly Friedman, a PED public information officer.
The release noted that school districts across the state devoted $6 million more than last year to direct instruction, and that nearly 74 percent of school district's budgets were focused on dollars in the classroom, falling in line with the governor's directive to protect classroom spending by making cuts to the administration.
"Preserving dollars to the classroom isn't an empty promise, it's a commitment to our kids and to our future,†Skandera said in the release. "We promised reform in New Mexico's schools and that includes focusing our dollars on our children and in our classrooms.â€
The release also showed that despite the 1.5 percent reduction in overall appropriation of dollars to school districts, PED reviews of proposed budgets submitted by districts showed that the "overwhelming majority†of districts maintained or increased dollars for direct instruction in the classroom.
Other districts praised were Farmington, Rio Rancho, Clayton, Carlsbad, Deming and T or C.
