Philippines May File Homicide Charges in Taiwan Fishing Case
The Philippines recommended homicide charges be laid against eight of its coast guard members over the killing of a Taiwanese fisherman in disputed seas, as Taiwan officials indicated economic ties would soon be restored.
Four people -- two of the 17-member coast guard boat crew and two others -- may also be charged with obstructing justice over spliced video evidence, National Bureau of Investigation Director Nonnatus Rojas told reporters in Manila yesterday. Taiwan justice ministry officials called on the Philippines to charge and bring the men to trial promptly.
Amadeo Perez, chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, plans to visit Taiwan today to convey an apology to the fisherman's family on behalf of Philippine President Benigno Aquino, Yin Wei, a spokesman for the ruling Kuomintang party, said by phone, citing comments by President Ma Ying-jeou.
The May 9 shooting death of 65-year-old fisherman Hung Shih-cheng by the crew of the Philippine vessel soured ties. Ma recalled his representative from the Philippines, froze the hiring of workers from the country to protest the killing and rebuffed an earlier apology from Aquino over the incident. Taiwan later held military exercises in the area.
"The Philippines would not have recommended the charges without basis, even if it was under pressure from Taiwan to ensure there was a liability," Richard Javad Heydarian, a political science lecturer at the Ateneo de Manila University, said by phone. "Allowing the prosecution of coast guard men is a way for the Philippines to say it's willing to take responsibility, renew ties and reverse tensions with Taiwan."
'No Justification'
The Philippine investigation was one of four demands made by Ma's administration after the confrontation. Others included a formal apology, compensation and punishment of the perpetrators.
"There was no conclusive justification for the use of deadly force against the fishing boat," the Philippines' National Bureau of Investigation said in a separate statement yesterday. Members of the Hung family who survived the incident had said the hail of gun fire they encountered was unprovoked.
Rojas added the coast guard crew failed to prove their claims the Taiwan fishing boat tried three times to ram them.
Taiwan's Deputy Foreign Minister Joseph Shih told reporters in Taipei yesterday his ministry would recommend that economic sanctions on the Philippines be lifted. "We hope the Philippines will charge these people as soon as possible," Shih said.
Disputed Waters
Taiwan employers hadn't renewed contracts for about 10,000 Filipinos, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office said July 9, while 77,000 workers from the country remained in Taiwan.
The Hung family said they would be willing to accept an apology as their vessel, the Guang Da Hsin 28, headed back to sea for the first time since the incident, the Central News Agency reported Aug. 5.
Homicide charges were recommended instead of murder because the incident was "unplanned and unpremeditated" with the Philippine vessel on patrol at the time, the Philippines' investigation bureau said.
Rojas said the shooting occurred "well within" the Philippines' economic zone. The Hungs were within a 200-nautical-mile area representing Taiwan's fishing territory, the island's foreign ministry said in a statement.
Maritime Mechanism
Taiwan and the Philippines in June held preliminary talks on a mechanism for law-enforcement operations at sea, including a ban on the use of force, mutual notification of any arrests and the release of detained fishermen and boats. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said authorities are discussing further meetings.
Taiwan's goal is to sign an agreement with the Philippines similar to the accord it reached with Japan on April 10, which gives fishermen access to Japanese-administered waters near islands also claimed by China, Ma said in a July 25 interview.
"We are eager to restore relations as soon as possible, because, prior to this event, relations were quite friendly," Ma said.

|Re: installing couchdb 1.0.1 will not override .010 ubuntu 10.04 install
|Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:20:41 GMT
I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess it's either - incorrect file/folder permissions on couchdb files - older couchdb currently running and using port What's the output of a ps -ef |grep couch That would eliminate the 2nd guess. If you installed couchdb via an ubuntu package, that's what probably put files in /etc. If you built it from source and everything is stashed in /opt/couchdb-1.0.1, then I'd imagine there is a local.ini in the etc subdirectory, or some other subdirectory, of that. I'm assuming that you didn't remove the previous apt package yet either, or else you have '.' in your path, because ./couchdb -c would be the command I would expect (including the ./) otherwise I'm guessing you're calling the ubuntu supplied one which would explain the configuration paths that are listed. So a couple things - check whether couch is running with ps and grep - find whether or not there is a local.ini in a sub directory of /opt/couchdb-1.0.1 and if there is, check to see what the port and bind address are set to. Also set the log level to debug and check the path to the database files (database_dir and view_index_dir) and make sure the files in those directories are owned by the couch user. that would eliminate the first guess - whats the output of /opt/couchdb-1.0.1/bin/couchdb -c ? My guess is a different path from the files in /etc If after permissions and port checks it still doesn't run, run couch with the debug log level and send the output of relevant log entries in the couchdb log file. If it's not specified, you can set the log file in your local.ini ex. [log] level = debug file = /opt/couchdb-1.0.1/var/log/couchdb/couch.log And if that doesn't turn on any light-bulbs in our heads, the next thing I'd do is strace the process and see if the output reveals any other clues. Topics on this page http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Error_messages Seem to suggest permissions though. -Tim On 08/29/2010 11:50 AM, email@example.com wrote: > init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch

Christmas Eve at Khe Sanh
By Dennis M Mannion - Originally Published December 1988
Like weary travelers who finally get to rest in the comfort of their own homes after a week of constant motion and movement, the members of "Kilo" Company, 3d Battalion, 26th Marines spread out into the foxholes and bunkers that made up the company's perimeter.
It was Christmas Eve 1967, and we had just returned from a four-day operation that took us into the rugged hills of Vietnam's Khe Sanh Plateau. Despite minimal creature comforts, it was a relief to know that we didn't have to hike those hills for a while. That by itself was a legitimate Christmas present.
In terms of the physical setting and the expected sounds and colors, this was sure to be my bleakest holiday ever, but it remains the Christmas that stands apart from all the others and the one which memory doesn't confuse, even two decades later.
My radioman Dave Kron and I headed straight for the position that we had constructed the previous week. Even though it was just two connecting foxholes covered with a tent-like affair of scrounged parachute silk, we felt elated to be home for the holidays. At midday, a rumor which had been circulating since the previous day turned into reality. An arriving helicopter touched down just outside the company area, and mailbag after mailbag began to spill out onto the ground!
The distribution of our Christmas mail, which had been held in storage for nearly two weeks, required the work of a score of Marines as there were thousands of letters and hundreds of "care packages." More than anything else, it was the sheer volume of these packages that brought a festive, holiday atmosphere to our war zone. Denied a chance to be in the real world, it was as if its realities had been sent to us, and each package opened helped to reduce the tensions and fears accumulated in the previous week. By late afternoon, "Kilo" Company was almost giddy with child-like happiness and Christmas spirit.
Since Dave and I had not drawn perimeter guard that night (another present), we settled in under our parachute hootch to feast from our collective packages and to recall Christmas memories from earlier years. With our military gear relegated to the sides of the tent, the war seemed almost to have been replaced with plentiful food, laughter and friendship. Considering how the previous four months had been spent, we had another gift to be thankful for. . .we were still around for the holiday while a number of our companions were not. Sometime after midnight, wrapped in a poncho-liner and surrounded with comforting memories of home, I drifted off to sleep thinking of my family and most of all my mother.
I was jolted out of my sleep on Christmas Day by the sound of "Jingle Bells!" Two helicopters with Santa painted on their sides were making repeated passes over the base, and loudspeakers mounted in the doors were playing one Christmas song after the other. It was incredible! Within seconds, people from all over were up, out, and on their feet to cheer and to wave. The show didn't last more than 10 minutes, but it was enough to get our day off to a magical start.
At noon, a Catholic chaplain celebrated Mass out in the open, and as I sauntered over, I was suddenly struck with the thought that noon on Christmas Day in Vietnam corresponded exactly with midnight on Christmas Eve in Connecticut. While I knelt with rifle in hand in the red dust of Khe Sanh, my family was kneeling in the pews of St. Mary's Church in New Haven for Midnight Mass. It was the only time in my 13month tour when I knew exactly what members of my family were doing at a given moment.
I used to wonder and guess at their actions from time to time, but in this short period of Mass and remembrance, I was linked to them with a bond that stretched over 15,000 miles. In spite of the distance, I never felt closer to any of them than I did at that moment, and the simple act of closing my eyes seemed to move me out of the war and into the comfortable surroundings of family and home.
By nightfall-Christmas morning back in Connecticut-I was strapping on the weapons and gear of an infantryman and preparing to move to an ambush position outside our protective barbed wire. Our route took us directly across the very ground where Mass had been said earlier and where, through the miracle of Christ's birth, I was permitted to stand for a brief moment at a window to the world.

Lino Cassar
Laurence Grech writes:
I first got to know Lino Cassar, by then an established film critic, in the late 1960s through the late Sunday Times film critic and filmmaker Cecil Satariano, who used to take me along to the previews organised by the MUFC (later KRS), the local film distributors, at their screening room in Valletta.
I got to know Lino better in 1969, when we joined a press party on a three-day trip to London organised by British European Airways to mark the introduction of a new Boeing aircraft on the Malta route.
A lifelong staunch Labourite, Lino was by then the very well-known editor of the satirical weekly Ix-Xewka, whose barbs were directed mostly at members of the Nationalist administration then in office, led by Dr George Borg Olivier.
I found Lino to be a constant source of humour, a good part of it bluish to be sure, but always fun. He even joked about his stammer, which in time he managed to largely control. Lino was indeed an authority on the cinema, and particularly on his favourites Laurel and Hardy. He could reel off names of cast, directors and other details, which came in handy when he started to compile, after Satariano's death, the weekly Films on TV column for The Sunday Times.
It was an appointment he kept until recently, and supplemented it with anniversary features on actors and films from time to time. When his former idol and mentor Dom Mintoff came to power in 1971, Lino was made chairman of the board of film censors, which became much more tolerant of sex scenes and nudity in films, even if this coincided with the lowering of the legal adult age from 21 to 18.
Lino was also involved in the running of the Mediterranean Film Studios and was responsible for attracting a number of film productions to Malta. He amassed a collection of reference books, biographies and other publications on films and film stars, making him one of Malta's most knowledgeable people on the cinema. But he also had another hobby – collecting issues of Beano, Dandy and other comics since he was a boy.
Despite our political differences, our friendship lasted till the very end. He was deeply saddened at the burning down of The Times building in 1979 by "a few stupid Labour supporters" (his words). He would not fail to visit me in hospital when I underwent a couple of operations, especially after my first one for a detached retina, because he was always worried about his poor eyesight.
When, some years ago, it was his turn to be hospitalised after a fall at home, he was so pleased to see me. He was never to return home for good, being moved first to Karin Grech Rehabilitation Hospital and then to the state-run home for the elderly in Mosta, where I used to visit him occasionally and where, incredibly, despite his virtual immobility, he continued to turn out his weekly column for The Sunday Times and for It-Torċa, using his battered typewriter, up to some months before his death.
Although we regularly kept in touch on the phone, it had been some time since I actually visited him. Last Thursday afternoon I resolved to go and visit him this weekend, so imagine my shock when I learned of his death late in the evening. He was 77.
To his wife and family go my deepest condolences.
Mr Grech, who joined Allied Newspapers in January 1963, was editor of The Sunday Times from 1991 to 2007.

You may have read about the Dr Fish pedicure last year on Spavelous, seen it featured on the internet, Good Morning America, The CBS Early Show, Tyra Banks Show, or a local news channel. However, if you are one of the few who haven't here is a video which will give you an idea this fishy spa experience.
The Dos ...
You will begin your pedicure by having your feet washed and sanitized prior to placing them into the tanks filled with the fish. While Garra Rufa fish in other countries may be used in large pools, hot springs or multi people foot spas, Most spas in the United States are erring on the side of safety with a Fish Pedicure, tank built for one.
The fish, as many spa goers say "kiss the skin", ridding it of all affected and dead skin areas, leaving the healthy skin untouched to continue to grow and repair. The process is both painless and strangely wonderful, leaving behind a unique pleasant tingling sensation. Many spa clients have been skittish or find it to be ticklish at first. However, they soon get use to it. Once feet have been placed in the warm water, the Doctor fish begin to investigate. Once you have passed the point of feeling ticklish, the fish begin to act as a stimulating, yet relaxing massage with one hundred twenty five of them running their little suction cup mouths along your feet and toes. Rest assured, these inch-long fish have no teeth!
They seek out and remove dead skin, bacteria and calluses while rejuvenating healthy skin. The initial feeling of trepidation dissipates quickly as the tingling sensations mimic a massage.
It is best to have your feet dangling in the water so the fish can clean the hard callous skin on the bottom of your feet and heels. Some spas use large stones at the bottom of the tank so you may rest the arch of your foot on them. Either way, your skin is left smooth, glowing and looking healthier. Although, also used for individuals suffering from Psoriasis, fish treatments are not a cure for the disease but a temporary treatment cure which can aid in preventing symptoms if repeated on a monthly basis. Nonetheless, there have been some individuals who claim to have been completely cured of Psoriasis after undergoing fish treatments. The fish treatments are also recognized as treatments utilized to release fatigue, increase blood circulation and aid in relaxation.
The Do Nots ...
So why not immerse yourself into a hot spring or fish pool, or enjoy a foot, or body fish treatment before a massage. Some States indicate that this may not be sanitary, as you do not know what the fish may carry or transfer from person to person. States where The Fish Pedicure is Illegal.
The Spa Association Singapore has said that banning fish-spa treatments is the way to go. The association, an umbrella body representing 75 spa or related business outlets, said that as far as it knew, none of its members offered fish-spa services.
An industry insider reckons that at least 20 shops in Singapore do the fish spa treatments, the more well-known names being Kenko Reflexology & Fish Spa and Qian Hu Fish Farm. Business operators said they were unaware of licensing requirements binding the business of using fish to nibble away dead skin.
In Singapore, they said, that they use filtration systems and ultraviolet light to kill bacteria in the water; they also said they check that their customers are clear of wounds. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore confirmed that it did not have regulations on fish being used this way, and that its priority was to ensure that the fish were unharmed.
So far, there have been reported that at least two complaints emerged this year against fish spas - the Consumers Association of Singapore received one, and The New Paper ran a report on two sisters who caught fungal infections from a fish spa. Some operators said they believed the complaints came about because of "black sheeps" in the industry who are in the business due to low entry requirements.

Very low key casual restaurant. Excellent Italian food served with a side salad and fresh warm italian bread..Highly recommend. You wont walk away hungry.
Very friendly staff, comfortable screened in porch gave us the opposition to enjoy dinner with family who live in area.
Nice salad, hefty portions. Three of us had draft beer and I had the poorest glass of wine I have had since college days. Focus on the conversation.
It may not look like much but the food and service are the tops in our book! We try to eat here at least two times a year when we visit the Adrondacks! The salad is delicious and more so because they include mandarin oranges. The lasagne and chicken parm are my favorites and their sauce s wonderful! My husband...
My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at this old-fashioned "locals restaurant". We enjoyed the lasagne and a simple salad. The meal started with warm bread and refreshments. Our host (a local resident) recommended the lasagne, or any dish with veal, or really anything else! We were not disappointed.
The waiter was very friendly and efficient. The food arrived at a good pace. There was wonderful aroma of Italian, as we walked through the door. The decor has not changed in 20 some odd years. Could really sue a facelift.
The meal-The bread, a large portion, but nothing special(white bread, not Italian). The salad was average with only some...
What I mean is great local atmosphere, staff that give you that small town feel and attention, and a cook dishing up some great home town Italian cooking. If you want stylish and fancy, head elsewhere. But if you want to experience Saranac Lake local folks and scenery, and good food and conversation with them, take a seat at the...
This is my favorite restaurant in Saranac Lake. I've eaten here hundreds of times and have never been disappointed. Last night I had my usual Veal Parmigiana and had a side of angel hair pasta with white clam sauce. The veal was outstanding and the white clam sauce was superb. One of few restaurants that use whole belly clams, without...

Knoernschild family celebrates its 50th Thanksgiving football anniversary
Family celebrates Thanksgiving game
Traditions are alive and well in the Knoernschild family, which celebrated its 50th football anniversary this Thanksgiving.
The Turkey Bowl, a touch football game involving three generations of the family, boasts all the bells and whistles of an NFL game, including family cheerleaders, most valuable players, referees and a familial pair of cleats, passed down over the years.
Burning off energy
The tradition was started in 1962 by the family priest, the Rev. William Knoernschild. With 34 grandchildren, the priest had to find a way to burn off the young ones' energy.
Remembering the first game, David Knoernschild said, "I remember when I was 12 and I woke up in the morning and I wanted to sleep in. My dad woke me up and said he wanted to go to a football game. I thought 'Football?' What do I know about football?' "
William Knoernschild was the first and no normal referee. He wore a clown suit, complete with nose, hair and shoes.
The game was an immediate hit with both young and old and each Thanksgiving the clan would wake with thoughts of not only turkey, but also pigskins on their mind.
The game continued uninterrupted until a Thanksgiving storm in 1975 brought eight inches of snow onto the field.
Undaunted, the family altered its plans. They had an indoor basketball game at St. Gregory's and, yes, they still had the MVP cleats pass down.
The cleats are a family treasure unto their own. Each MVP, usually one of the children, adds a token to them before passing them down. One such token is a wrong way sign, which was added by a family member who took the ball into the opposing end zone three times during the game.
It was easy for the opposing teams to know which way to run this year, as shirts were designed for the event. The shirts came in two colors for the teams, blue and gray. The logo depicts a turkey running with a football and was taken from the 25th anniversary's design.
While they weren't present this year, the family used to sport referee uniforms and plans on having them be part of their future games.
Getting everyone involved
The blue and gray opponents gave it their all this year, as is tradition. One of the referees, a retired player, broke two of his ribs on separate occasions during previous games. Most of the plays, however, were made by the younger generations.
Katy Thompson, captain of team gray, said, "We definitely try to give everybody a chance to hold the ball and make the plays. That's always the fun of it: Including the kids and letting them have a good time."
Although they celebrate with a football game before the turkey, the Knoernschilds are much like any other family. Thanksgiving is a time for them to catch up on relatives they seldom see and a chance to hear the clan's news.
Although the Rev. Knoernschild is gone, there are no plans to stop the gridiron good times. The family doesn't see a Thanksgiving without their football tradition.
David Knoernschild added, "This is a tradition in my family and nothing will make me miss this. Nothing. It's just fun."

Not because I dislike it but because many of the vocal locals are hostile to the visitors who come here and spend ridiculous amounts of money in our town during the historic slow part of the year. They now want the city's police to cite the body painted and eliminate noise. When Key West becomes a ghost town again, I suppose they'll be happy."

text: When current flows through a conductor in AC mode, it does not make use of the full cross section of the conductor available. The core of the conductor does not carry any current, rather only the surface and a little portion below it (skin depth) would take part in conduction. Skin depth is the thickness at which the current density is reduced by 63%. Thus a solid conductor in effect acts as a hollow one, increasing the effective resistance offered to the current flow. The amount of conductor cross-section used for current flow is dependent on the frequency. Higher the frequency, lower will be the cross-section used and hence higher resistance for the same conductor. Thus the resistance offered to AC is higher than the DC resistance by some factor. I've seen AC resistance to be taken 1.6 times DC resistance for 50 Hz AC supply (though some sources say it is 1.1 times or higher). Why don't we use hollow conductors when it will save a lot of material in long distance transmission? Saving material means less cost too. Or is it not feasible to make hollow conductors for such long distances?

"Maine people know that the biggest issue facing our state is the almost $500 million we owe to the hospitals," Governor LePage said. "The Legislature has had my bill for two months. The time to pay our bills is now." "Also, until the bill to pay the hospitals is on my desk, I am asking the Legislature to record votes on the items before them. Maine people deserve to know where their representatives stand, whether it is to override my vetoes or when they pass the laws," continued the Governor. Previously, Governor LePage said he would veto any bill that came to his desk before the hospital repayment plan was passed. Tuesday, he let six bills go into law without his signature.The six bills are:LD 2, Resolve, Regarding Legislative Review of Portions of Chapter 252: Rules Governing Certification of Seed Potatoes in the State of Maine, A Major Substantive Rule of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry:LD 26, An Act to Authorize the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to Change a Fishing Season Opening Date Statewide:LD 32, An Act to Expand the Types of Vaccines That May Be Administered by Pharmacists:LD 103, An Act to Correct an Inconsistency in Maine's Apprenticeship Laws:LD 112, An Act to Make Changes to the Educators for Maine Program: andLD 113, An Act to Make Changes to the Maine College Savings Program.

Being in a relationship offers valuable lessons. One that I'm thankful I learned early on was to not speak ill of my partner. Other lessons of course include the usual: compromise, understanding, humility, and creating lots of love and embracing the laughter. Because ultimately, being together and loving each other is a choice. One that we make daily. I choose to love him. And he chooses {thankfully} to love me.
Whether it is learning from our mistakes, picking battles and priorities, or simply taking the other's feelings into consideration… I certainly have done plenty of that in my time. One example being; I know to never speak of a "honey do" list. *chuckle* For him, he knows that I loathe the word "nag". That is something we meet half way on, I try not to nag and neither if us use that word when describing me or my mood. I much prefer the word "harpy". It has fond connections tied to it {World of Warcraft, if you're savvy}.
But of all the things I have learned, the biggest that I strive for and try to be mindful of is not talking smack about my husband. It's easy to fall into that trap. And believe me you, it is a b*tch to pull yourself out of once you're in there.
I used to freely speak of issues, vents, rants, etc. that I had about my exes. At work, with friends, with family… Any ear that would tune in. Any face that would smile and nod. Any voice that would chime in, feeding off one another's relationship woes.
Here is the thing:
If you talk about your significant other often enough and the only way you speak of him/her is negatively? That is only light those people will see him/her in. Not only that, the feedback, advice, and relate-able woes you hear from said listeners will play back in your head. Mental mind flay. It's poisonous. Looking back, I realize that all the talking I did about my ex(es) at the time was doing more harm than good.
In fact, there was a time I was doing some {I thought} harmless venting about The Mister {before we said I do} to my mom. I forget exactly what I said, but I think it was when he wasn't working and I was paying all the bills that unemployment wouldn't. It was stressful. Coupled with coming home {exhausted, working long shifts/doubles in the restaurant} a messy apartment and him playing video games…I vented. I needed a sounding board. After hearing me out, she said something to the effect of So, why don't you just leave him?
I will also say, that without missing a beat my mom retracted her suggestion when she realized that was not what I needed to hear. Ha!
I was stunned. It's not like I was talking about any other guy… it was HIM. I felt like she completely misunderstood my "need" to vent. This is when I realized I had made a huge mistake.
The idea of leaving him was harrowing. From that moment on, I was much more aware of how I spoke of him. I did not want to give anyone the chance to suggest I leave him again.
Ultimately, it is not fair to him. If I found out The Mister was talking badly of me to his coworkers or his brothers… Or his mom?! I'd be livid and crushed all at once.
I remind myself often.
Lift him up. Be thankful for the good. Pick my battles with the seemingly bad. Talk to him. Give him due praise. Don't take him for granted.
Bottom Line:
I may jest about dirty socks on the floor, but when The Mister is out of town? I miss his dirty socks something fierce.

It begs the question... What would be the point of having a ps4 and a ps plus subscription? There won't be any ps4 games to add to psplus since they will all be new games... And you won't be able to dowload or play any of the ps3 games in ps plus on your ps4 since its not backwards compatible...I guess it will be like vita where at first its not included in ps plus but eventually it will be. So like a year after launch maybe ps4 will be included in plus?
I suspect Gaikai streaming service will be tied in some way to PS+. Whether it would be tiered pricing is really the only question about it.
That being said, since the PS4 will have a limited library of games initially, I could see a $50/yr price tier, as it is now, that covers all three platforms (PS4, PS3, PSVita), which would add even more incentive to hold on to your PS3 after the purchase of a PS4. This tier would also include a shared cloud save service betwen the PS3 and PS4 and the current separate cloud save service for PS Vita.
I imagine that Gaikai will be added to a 'Premium' PS+ tier which would cost about $80/yr, which includes the current PS+ plan for all three consoles, plus unlimited Gaikai game streaming for the PS4 (and possibly PS Vita).
I recent found out Gaikai did not require a subscription fee before Sony acquired them but yeah, as you said, they will probably require a subscription fee to access games on there. I wonder about purchased games though. Streaming games is only an attractive alternative to traditional backwards compatibility only if it did not require a subscription fee to access otherwise, I think I would rather just play PS3 games on a PS3, even though it won't last forever...
I would be cool if Sony allowed us to access the games we buy for free and only charge a subscription fee to access the other features of Gaikai, similar to how Gaikai used to be.
Re: PS Plus Question
Its not a stupid question at all. I wounder myself what will happen. I do like the plus but I wish they would cover all your accounts for one price. Gets to be a bit expensive to cover all your accounts. I hope sony will shed some light on your question soon. I am not sure what to do as far as buying new items on home and ps plus. But I dont think anyone can really answer you question yet.

Los Angeles Section 8 to Expand
"Every night in Los Angeles, there are 45,000 people sleeping on the streets. One-fourth of those are women with children who have no place to go because the shelters are full. This is a way to give them a chance."-Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
On September 18, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a $29 million expansion of LA's Section 8 rental-subsidy program, which would house an additional 2,000 homeless people. Villaraigosa said the newly expanded Section 8 program is designed to move the homeless people in Skid Row to apartments throughout the city. Villaraigosa also announced the creation of the Skid Row Families Demonstration Project. It is a city-county partnership that plans to move 500 homeless families out of Skid Row and into housing. The city will contribute $18 million dollars to this project and the country will contribute $6 million.

First Jeep, but which one?
I am wanting to purchase a jeep. I live in Florida and it only makes sense. I have been looking at Saharas 1989 and 1991. I also have been wondering about 4cyl Jeeps which are newer 1990-1998 about the same price range -up to $4000. Which one should I buy? I don't offroad and have no plans to, although I will probably want to take it through trails when camping around over the summer. It will be my daily driver. Can you offer me the pros/cons of these choices? I have no plans to lift it either. I may get a pair of seadoos this coming summer, but can always use my girlfrind's truck to pull with if the 4cyl isn't enough. I will probably have more questions but that is it for now. Trying to narrow down a choice in the next 4-5 weeks. Thank you!
go with a 91 and newer 4.0. better fuel injection and the 6 cylinders just have more power.
Look for a 95. The year of the galvanized tub and frame for the best rust protection. A 4cyl can pull 2 jet skis just fine, but don't expect to be breaking any speed records with it.
If its a daily driver, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) I believe the TJ's (97 and newer) are supposed to be much smoother on the highway. There's probably a few other features that are nicer too.
There are several threads which debate between 4 cylinder and 6. Most agree that the sixes are better, but if your area is like mine, they cost way more.
Something else to consider is a soft top vs. hardtop. In Florida you can probably get away with no top for most of the year. Either way test drive on the highway, and really pay attention to the road noise. I have both tops, and found a huge noise difference between them.
No matter what you choose, Good luck
If its ur daily get a 4 cyl to save gas. If you want something fast than get a racecar.
About which model to get....depends on ur taste. If you want comfort get a tj since the dash is modernized with a closer radio and more of a car feel. Coil suspension.
Yj's are cheaper in most cases simply because of depretiation over time. Leaf spring suspension is a little more stiff. Just more of a simple vehicle. Simple can be a good thing.
IOP i would get a yj.
Good luck bud
Thanks for the advice. I can't afford a 97', I only want to spend about $3000-$4000 for initial buy. I am leaning towards 6cyl because who knows what I'll want to do with it once purchased. Are automatics better or manual transmissions? I plan on paying a mechanic to come with me to at least 2 "for sale by owner" jeeps. Not really caring that much on comfort as I work less than 5 miles away but do plan on taking it to Michigan 1400 miles. Any suggestions as to what I may want to think about replacing/upgrading on 89-95 Yj? Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
I love my yj, it's my daily driver. But there is no way in hell I would try and drive it from Florida to Michigan. Maybe if it had cruise control I guess I might.
'91 and newer, get a 6. The newer 4 bangers might save a little on gas, but some of the older ones might be worse than a 6, and the highway is brutal on a 4. You could find a real low-end TJ in that price range, but you're probably looking for a YJ. Definitely worse on long trips! Older ones, you're going to find all manual I imagine. TJs have started to tend toward more autos as the years rolled by. Scour the ads and car lots. Getting in a hurry will cost you too much money, lol. Take your time.
Go 6 cyl. You'll get better gas mileage w/ 4 cyl. Not sure how much better. I'm a firm believer that the future is unknown. If you get the 4 and need more power then you have to upgrade. Buy the 6, and it's there if you need it. You may later decide to lift it and go off roading. Jeep's are an addiction. I think you'll be glad that you did
Thank you all for your input and. I will look at 6cyls and try to focus on the 4.0 liter. What is the best investment a new Jeep owner can make for a Yj ( stock)other than upgrading my tools in the garage? HAhaha
1400 miles is a long rough ride in a YJ. good luck with your purchase and welcome to the forum.
As a fellow Florida Jeeper (with no top or doors at all), I tell you that you'll be happy with it most of the time. There's a few times this time of the year when it's a bit cold to ride around like that but the other 11 months of the year it will make you happy you have a Jeep.
I own a 4cyl YJ and have been for 5 years, only had 31"/10.5 tires on it since I got it and a flow master exhaust and I love it! My first car and will never get rid of it! I would like more power but it's not a huge thing cause sometimes I am able to get through a spot on the trail that most 6cyl's can't haha!
It's all up to you, a YJ is a stiff ride but doing 1200 miles in it gives you a feel on what you can and can't do and you also enjoy the trip while you go. Don't base your opinion on what you want until you drive one that you might like, all we can do is throw out small suggestions but it's ultimately up to you.
Have fun and see you on the road.
My old friend drives a 2000 TJ 4cyl. 5sp., he drives it every day, about 27 miles to work, 27 back home, it's not jacked up he runs small Mil. 700x15 tires, gets 24mpg all the time, HE DRIVES SLOW! also has a set of car tires and rims for road trips 225/70/15 that go on for trips to Fl from La. still gets 24mpg but runs 60 or so on I-10, if you wan't to go fast, run big tires, pull heavy loads 2,000lbs, make long trips, get TJ with a six. short run around town, play and have a lot of fun,an old YJ will be fine.

Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000: Loowatt Ltd.Loowatt has developed a proprietary waterless and energy-generating toilet system that is clean and odourless, creating social and environmental benefits that include water savings, carbon emissions reduction, improved human health and job creation. Loowatt's patented core technology can fit into toilets of any shape or size and seals human waste into biodegradable polymer film. These are then emptied into an anaerobic digester where it is converted into natural gas or fertiliser – creating local jobs and revenue streams. With support from the Environmental Challenge, Loowatt will address low access to quality sanitation in Madagascar's capital city through investment in local manufacturing capacity for toilet refills. This will create jobs and revenue streams for the city residents while supporting Loowatt's ambition for its technology to serve over 2m million customers a day in developing markets.Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000: Aguaclara LLCThe $25,000 second prize winner is US-based AguaClara LLC, a social enterprise borne out of Cornell University. Its designs are for municipal-scale, nonelectric water treatment plants that are simple to operate and sustainable in small towns and villages. AguaClara's gravity-powered water treatment technology is sustainable from its has sustainability built in, from their oopen-source design through to to easy maintenance of its modular components. Existing projects in Honduras (supported by the Cornell AguaClara programme prior to the founding of the company) and India are built using locally available materials and operated by the communities they serve. The Environmental Challenge prize money will support AguaClara in creating a 10-village water disinfection system in Orissa, India that will initially bring drinking potable water to 5,000 people, create jobs through manufacture and operation of the system and drive research to further improve the technology.2015Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000: Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation (AIDFI) AIDFI, a Philippines-based social enterprise that provides reliable drinking water to upland rural areas using a unique hydraulic ram pump. Made from locally-sourced materials, the pump uses the pressure of falling water to pump water to villages above a water source, with each pump reaching an average of 600 people. AIDFI has had success in Afghanistan, Colombia, Nepal and the Philippines, assisting some 222,000 people in 370 villages. The prize money will launch a ram pump pilot project in Mexico.http://www.aidfi.org/ Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000: Project SalinoThe $25,000 second prize winner is Salino, a project managed by Devlina Das of India's VIT University. The project will convert sea water into drinking water using a unique five-step method powered by solar energy. Aimed at India's semi-arid and arid zones, Salino will initially target 50 homes and data from the pilot will be used to scale implementation.http://www.vit.ac.in/ 2014Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000: Sustainable Sanitation DesignUnisex Urinal: value-creating sanitation in Bwaise (Kampala), UgandaOver 1bn people live in urban slums, without access to sanitation facilities. SuSan Design's unisex urinal concept was developed through an inclusive design process with women in a Kampala slum. It provides women with a low cost urinal in their home that gives them privacy, collects valuable nutrients and reduces local pollution. It plays a pivotal role in reducing volumes in toilets and facilitates nutrient recovery. Using funding from Reed Elsevier, the project will provide unisex urinals to 10,000 households, serving around 50,000 out of the 430,000 people living in slum settlements of Kampala. The urine will be collected and sold as natural fertiliser for local agriculture and/or to the flower production companies just outside Kampala.http://susan-design.org/
Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000: Ecofiltro S.A
Development of the Ceramic Disk Filter for Household Water Treatment in GuatemalaA systematic review of water, sanitation and hygiene interventions commissioned by the World Bank suggests that improving household drinking water quality at the point of use is more effective in reducing diarrheal disease risks (by 30 to 40 percent) than improvements at the source. Ecofiltro, S.A. is one of the most successful ceramic filter factories in the developing world with a recognised brand name and successful track record in the manufacture, marketing and sales of ceramic pot filters to both urban and rural customers in GuatemalaReed Elsevier funds will be used to develop and commercialise a new type of household water treatment and safe storage system called the ceramic disk filter—a practical, effective and affordable technology that provides a "protective" level of treatment performance for protozoa, bacteria and virus removal.http://www.ecofiltro.org/en
WASH Alliance prize winner, $15,000: Stanford Program on Water, Health & Development
Lotus Water: community-scale automated chlorination for drinking water in urban slumsMore than 90 percent of households in the slums of Dhaka are served through public taps or handpumps connected to the municipal water system, commonly shared by 10-100 households. The Stanford team conducted a survey of shared water points in Dhaka slums and found that 98 percent are contaminated. Their product offers reliable chlorine dosing while remaining low-cost; it can be easily integrated into existing handpumps, and is designed to dose water accurately even under variable and intermittent flow.Direct beneficiaries of the next phase (installation of 150 devices) of the Lotus Water project will include approximately 2,000 households in Dhaka, or 10,000 people, who will access disinfected water as a result of using the technology. These sites will also allow the team to carry out health impact and business model evaluations.http://water.stanford.edu/
Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000: WaterSHED
The Environmental Challenge award will allow WaterSHED to iteratively design and test-market a solution to improve access to toilet facilities for a significant portion of rural Cambodians, providing an affordable, attractive, and accessible shelter using durable, environmentally safe materials.
WaterSHED predicts their efforts will encourage more than 50,000 households to build latrines within the next two years, with far-reaching impacts across the region. http://www.watershedasia.org/about-watershed/
Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000: Gadgil Lab, UC Berkeley Sustainable and scalable arsenic remediation of groundwater in South Asia Deaths and disease are linked to high levels of naturally occurring arsenic in untreated groundwater throughout South Asia. Gadgil Lab, UC Berkeley, aims to bring safe water to local communities in West Bengal through their invention, Electro-Chemical Arsenic Remediation (ECAR). ECAR removes arsenic using ordinary steel plates and low DC voltage; its performance exceeds international standards for arsenic-safety across diverse groundwater conditions, and produces less waste sludge than conventional methods.
ECAR is rapidly scalable, directly addressing causes of previous failure through a focus on maintenance, ongoing education, affordability, and quality control.
The Environmental Challenge award will be used to distribute arsenic-safe water from the ECAR prototype to school children in West Bengal, in collaboration with school administration and its management committees. Schools will serve as educational hubs for awareness and community involvement, and social marketing. Excess water will be sold at locally affordable prices to the village community. http://gadgillab.berkeley.edu/
WASH Alliance prize winner, $15,000: Text to Change
WaterMonitor will allow stakeholders in the water value chain to map, monitor, and manage water infrastructure. Users will send a free SMS using simple codes to water companies containing all the relevant information needed for a repair, allowing water companies to respond more quickly.
The Environmental Challenge award will be used to map Uganda's water points and for engagement with communities on WaterMonitor through traditional media such as radio, television, and posters, and mobile phone alerts. http://www.texttochange.org/
Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST)
Iron-amended Biosand Water Filter for Millions of People in Nepal and Around the World The project modifies a traditional Biosand Filter, which effectively strains large pathogens, by adding iron particles in order to remove viruses that previously remained in the filtered water. Rural villages in Nepal are greatly affected by water-borne diseases; this inexpensive project using local materials aims to help by installing 150 amended filters in two such villages that currently get their water from open springs. The project will especially target 1,000 of the most vulnerable people in the communities and provide health, environment, gender, and hygiene education workshops for the local community.CAWST, based in Calgary, Canada, will be partnering with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), who developed the technology, and with Environment and Public Health Organization (ENPHO), a well-established and respected local NGO to disseminate the iron-amended Biosand Filters. The hope is that within 10 years, the technology can be adopted by and help millions of people worldwide. CAWST will facilitate this by disseminating anything learned from the project through its global network. Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000 Sanergy
Sustainable Sanitation in Urban Slums of Africa The project focuses on sustainable sanitation in the slums of Kenya, where 80 per cent of the population lacks access to adequate sanitation. Sanergy develops a dense network of small-scale but high-quality sanitation centres in slums. Each toilet is run by a local entrepreneur, with a training and support system in place. Waste cartridges are collected daily by Sanergy staff, and the waste is then converted into organic fertilizer and electricity. The prize money will be used to expand the pilot project, hopefully to 250 toilets in Nairobi by the end of 2012, and demonstrate the viability of the model across the entire value chain.The project takes a systems-based approach with the issue, building out the entire sanitation value chain. It not only addresses the environmental and health impacts of poor sanitation, but seeks to boost the local economy as well. It also involves a range of stakeholders, including local residents, manufacturers, NGOs and the city council. Sanergy itself is well embedded in the local environment - 80 per cent of the team is Kenyan. Watch Sanergy video2011Environmental Challenge first place winner, $50,000Tagore-SenGupta Foundation
Sustainable Treatment of Contaminated Groundwater in Cambodia: Turning a Crisis into an Economic Enterprise
The project focuses on arsenic removal in ground-sourced drinking water in Cambodia. Many people living in the Mekong river floodplains in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos use water contaminated with arsenic at concentrations typically over 20 times the safe limit prescribed by the World Health Organization. The project involves an arsenic groundwater removal system using locally available chemical compounds and reusable sand filters. Ground water is pumped into an overhead tank, chemically stabilised, filtered using reusable arsenic-selective adsorbents, and converted into stable sludge/solids for safe long-term storage. Twelve community-level arsenic removal units are to be installed in remote villages and schools in Cambodia.
The project, using locally available raw materials, will complement traditional methods of water collection and costs will be shared by users. Environmental sustainability is addressed through the careful containment and storage of the arsenic removed from the contaminated water to ensure it does not leach into the environment. Socio-economic sustainability will be addressed through the formation and functioning of community water councils to ensure efficient operation and upkeep of the units. The Tagore-SenGupta Foundation, based in Pennsylvania, will be partnering with Cambodian NGO, This Life Cambodia, and Lehigh University.
Environmental Challenge second place winner, $25,000Jenna Forsyth
Improving access to safe water and empowering students and communities through a scalable school-based water treatment and education programme in Kenya
The project developed by Jenna Forsyth, a student at the University of Washington, aims to develop a scalable school water treatment and education programme in the Nyanza province of western Kenya. The Smart Electrochlorinator 200, developed with Cascade Designs and Program for Appropriate Technology in Health, utilises locally available salt and battery or solar power to generate enough chlorine-based disinfectant solution per six minute cycle to treat 200 litres of water. The pilot, concentrating on three schools initially, will involve creation of school water clubs to increase knowledge of basic water, sanitation, and hygiene, among students, teachers, and parents.
The project will engage a range of stakeholders including community health workers, village leaders, and officials from the Kenyan Ministries of Education, Water, and Public Health. A project leader from each school will be trained to conduct regular sampling to ensure the water meets WHO standards for water quality.
The other shortlisted projects were:
"Aakash Ganga": A community rooftop rainwater harvesting system in IndiaCandidate: Pratibha Shenoy/Sustainable Innovations Inc.
Water supply in India is dependent on the monsoon which brings a rainy season in the summer accounting for 80% of yearly rainfall. Delayed onset of the monsoon can have catastrophic consequences for the domestic water supply and larger economy. This project to collect and store rooftop rainwater, aims to provide equitable distribution of drinking water, at a village level, all year round.
The rooftop collection system has been piloted successfully in six villages in Rajasthan. The collected rainwater is shared between a network of local reservoirs, with capacity to supply domestic water to each household for a year.
If successful, prize money will contribute to the extension of the project, including construction of a 10,000 m2 rainwater harvesting park that will yield an estimated 40 liters of water per capita per day. Among other contributions, local government would lease land for free to establish the park. Total project cost is estimated at $85,000 for one village.
A solar energy-based water purification system for MozambiqueCandidate: Boris Atanassov/Greenlight
Following the end of a 30 year civil war in 1995, Mozambique is still recovering from the destruction of its infrastructure, particularly in rural districts. As few as 32% of the population have access to adequate sanitation and just 43% to clean water, and the practice of boiling water for purification using inefficient biomass fuel systems brings further health impacts and contributes to deforestation and CO2 emissions.
This project would utilise a water purification system, developed by Solvatten in Sweden, to purify water through solar energy. Each 10-liter unit can purify water in as little as two hours, generating 10-30 litres of safe drinking water per day. Two regions, one urban and one rural, suffering from severe water-quality problems would be chosen in the pilot which aims to reach 500 communities. The total cost of the project is estimated at $49,900.

[MAINTENANCE] Monday, December 9th, 2013[ Edited ]
Update: The end time for this maintenance is now 4PM Pacific.
Hi everyone,
We wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that there is a planned network maintenance for PlayStation platforms scheduled for Monday, December 9th from 9:00 AM to
2:00 PM 4:00 PM Pacific Time (12 noon to 5:00 PM 7:00 PM Eastern). To clarify, this is currently scheduled to be a 5 hour 7 hour maintenance.
This maintenance will increase the number of devices that can be activated by an account as a portable gaming device. This means that you can now activate up to three portable gaming devices (PSP (PlayStation Portable) and PlayStation Vita) on your SEN account. This new portable gaming device allotment is in addition to the other network improvements being implemented during this downtime.
If you've signed onto the network over the past few days, you'll still be able to play online and access apps during this period, but you may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management as these services will be unavailable. Be sure to sign in now if you wish to access the network during this maintenance window.
Thanks for your patience during this maintenance timeframe, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Re: [MAINTENANCE] Monday, December 9th, 2013
This is a start in the right direction, however I don'y understand the need to have mutiple devices associated with one account. Why would I want 2 or even 3 Vitas on one account? Sony needs to allow more than one user to login on the PS Vita so my kids will stop fighting over them....
Re: [MAINTENANCE] Monday, December 9th, 2013
I assume that is why, but the doesn't seem to fit needs for families. I am already looking forward to the PS Vita TV, but only buying one may also become a problem. Why would Sony want to limit the use of a PS Vita TV? Although I don't know much about it, I am sure more than one will be desired in my house hold which alreadt has 2 Vita's and 2 non activated PSP's.

On Sunday November 4, late in the day, an odd video appeared (or rather was buried) on CBS's website, entitled "Obama Suspects Libya Attack Targeted Americans."
It was odd in that for several weeks, the Obama administration had finally dropped the idiotic narrative that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was caused by a "mob turned violent" over an obscure anti-Muslim video that no one had seen.
A closer look at the video shows that it was in fact taped on September 12, a few hours after Obama made vague remarks about the attack in the Rose Garden. That it was part of a 60 Minutes interview that CBS had clearly suppressed.
Why was the video suppressed?
It didn't fit the narrative. Even though we later found out that Obama watched the attack on the Benghazi consulate in real time. Even though we later found out Obama had received an email that went directly to the White House Situation Room blaming the al-Qaeda-linked group Ansar al-Sharia, Obama in this suppressed video refused to call it terrorism. That Obama, in the suppressed video, oddly at the same time, thought the "mob turned violent over a anti-Muslim video" was equally ridiculous.
It was obvious what Obama was trying to do in the interview. He wasn't sure what lie he was going to tell the American people about the attack and wanted to be as vague as possible.
But it wasn't vague enough. It didn't fit the narrative.
So it had to be suppressed.
What we now know is that Barack Hussein Obama was shipping weapons from Libya to Syria—arming the al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked Syrian rebels—yes, our enemies—with Ambassador Chris Stevens as the point man—and needed a cover story to keep it out of the public's eyes.
Arming of our enemies?
That's treason in my book.
And if I remember correctly, that's grounds for impeachment.

A couple of years ago, if you wanted a waterproof digital compact camera you had only two choices, either a Pentax W-series, or an Olympus mju-Tough. More recently however most of the major manufacturers have launched waterproof, shockproof and freeze-proof cameras, with high-performance models such as the Canon D10, the Panasonic FT series , the Fuji Z33 and the superb Sony TX5. While the ruggedness of these cameras varies, they all have one thing in common; they are all expensive. The "entry-level" Panasonic FT10 is over £200, and even the Fuji W33 is £150.
In typical style Samsung has now launched its first waterproof compact, the WP10 – WP standing for "waterproof", presumably – which is currently selling for around £125, making it by far the cheapest on the market. For a price like that can it really compete with the established brands? Compared to the leading adventure cameras it may look a little delicate; while the likes of the Canon D10 and Panasonic FT2 can survive depths of ten metres and drops of up to two metres, the WP10 is only good for three metres underwater, and has no special shockproof or freeze-proof abilities.
In terms of specification the WP10 is a fairly typical pocket compact, featuring a 12.2-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor, a 6.9cm (2.7in) LCD monitor and an internal 5x zoom f/3.6 – f/4.8 Samsung-branded lens. It has an all-plastic body, and measures 93.8 x 61 x 18.5mm, making it also
one of the smallest waterproof cameras on the market, although not as compact as the Sony TX5. It is available in a range of colours, including black, red, yellow and the bright turquoise blue seen here.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I lend a person some cash money. Now he refuses to even recognize me. I don't have any written agreement. But, I have enough evidence in form of email and text messages that can prove that he owes me money. What can I do to file a complaint about that person?
Your question involves specific issues of the law in North Carolina. Since I am not licensed in that state, I cannot offer legal advice about those issues. That being said, most courts have small claims parts that can deal with issues such as yours, and, depending upon the amount of money involved, you might qualify. I suggest that you contact your local court and ask. If the amount of money involved is more than the small claims court allows, you should consider hiring an attorney to advise you further and, if appropriate, to pursue a lawsuit.Ask a similar question
It depends on the amount of money that you lent, and the terms of the oral agreement. If it is less than $5,000 then you may want to consider filing a claim in small claims court, which is a part of the District Court Division in North Carolina. You case would be heard by a magistrate, and usually the parties involved are not represented by lawyers. If you lose in small claims court, then you can appeal to District Court.
If the amount of money borrowed is more than $5,000 then you might want to consider getting a consultation with a general civil litigation lawyer.
