To compete in today's marketplace, a Web site is a must-have for every business. To help its members get online, the Coin Laundry Association is building Web sites for members – for free.
The CLA recently unveiled its newest member benefit – the LaundryWeb Network – at the Clean Show to an overwhelming response. Every laundry owner member is entitled to a free Web site, as well as free hosting for the site.
"We are excited to offer a new benefit that directly impacts the laundry owner's business by helping them market themselves to new customers," said Brian Wallace, CLA's president and CEO.
Members simply complete a short form and, in less than four weeks, their site is up and running – at no cost to the member.
Each site contains vital store information on every page – location, hours and a map with driving directions. The four initial pages include store services, photos and a contact form. In addition, every Web site is networked in the backend.
Over time, this network will allow member sites to appear closer to the top of search page results.
"After three months of working on my custom Web site, this was super easy," said Chris Balestracci, Super Wash Laundry. "It only took me 20 minutes!"

We're Numero UNO!
I do not know about you but I am sick of always reading, in EVERY news article, that Nicaragua is the 2d poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. y que?
Well, finally we are NUMBER ONE in something.
Nicaragua has the HIGHEST fuel prices in all of Central America! We're number one, we're number one, we're number one!
I do not know about you, but personally I so damned happy to finally make the top of the list! Number ONE!
We can only thank comrade-President-for-Life Ortega, his lovely hairy-armpits wife la Chamuca, tio Hugorilla Chavez, ALBA, Albanisa, Father Fidel, and the F$LN for the honor of reaching the number ONE spot.
Viva $ucialismo $iglo XXI
Arriba los pobres del mundo!

Gas subsidies in Central America
No más subsidios a gasolinas y diésel: "Pepe" Lobo
Ese subsidio es generalizado y se ha comprobado que ese subsidio generalizado con tantos niveles de desigualdad lleva un alto ingrediente de injusticia".
Lobo aseguró que "se ha demostrado que el 80 por ciento va al 20 por ciento de la población que tiene más ingresos".
Derecha pide no eliminar subsidio al gas
In El Salvador look like only the propane gas (gas de cocinar) has a subside .
Panamá aumentará subsidio para energía en US$14 millones
Un crédito adicional de US$14 millones tramitará el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas para evitar que la tarifa eléctrica aumente en el segundo semestre del año, debido al alza del petróleo. Esto significa que para 2011, el gobierno panameño habrá destinado US$78 millones al fondo de estabilización tarifaria, que se creó en 2005 para mantener estable la tarifa a las personas que consumen hasta 500 kilovatios al mes.
here the energy subside is till 180 Kv
Guatemala and Costa Rica has not subsidies (is what i found).
Venezuela pierde US$1.500M al año por subsidio a la gasolina
"Tenemos que empezar a disminuir el consumo de gasolina. La gasolina venezolana es la más barata del mundo (...) El gobierno está subsidiando más del 90% de lo que realmente cuesta esa gasolina", dijo Chávez.
Public Transit Discounts
Do other Central American countries offer fuel discounts for public transit or is it just Nicaragua?
subsidies for morons and sheep
Discussing about government party policies with you Fyl.....is a not end line..with a destiny only you know.
The party government is a well experimented organization, that besides its military background, also has a stronger preparation in political struggle. Is not difference between them and the CEO of Coca Cola to sell one product and obtain profits.
Nicaragua has the highest price in gas in Central America !!!
Why !! if we have our friend Gorilla Chavez given us the best deal in the world?
Well..some savvy adviser, (difficult to know if is the Qaddafi nephew, or the gringo Oquist or some Venezuelan) must structure this bs scam:
We rise the prices on gas, we collect the money from the people and we give back to the poor mass to assure our reelection. So the poor will be paying almost the same as other countries and the rest of Nicaraguans ( numbers from the government say that the subsidies benefit around 1.7 M people) will pay more for gains of the ALBA_ORTEGA company.
I like your analogy
Is not difference between them and the CEO of Coca Cola
Well, except he was only a Vice-President of Coca Cola and the country was Mexico.
OK, maybe that was a bit obscure but the point is that subsidies to help "someone" happens virtually everywhere. In the US it is called welfare. In Venezuela is is called cheap petroleum. In Nicaragua there are an assortment of programs including subsidized low-volume electricity usage and small propane cylinders. In each case, there is government overhead, misuse and, of course, administrative overhead, generally meaning some level of corruption. In fact, in most programs I am aware of , both government and private, (and that means in the US), administrative overhead is generally bigger than the amount received by the intended beneficiary.
If we just want to talk about petroleum, I would like to know about subsidies in other countries in the region. Here, while a taxi driver or bus driver may be the person who directly benefits, the next level of benefits goes to those who use the service. In the words of Ronald Reagan, this is called trickle-down economics. Maybe he was right about it working, maybe not, but the idea certainly didn't start in Nicaragua.
I understood "trickle-down
I understood "trickle-down economics" as meaning you give to the most wealthy layers of society and then expect an increase in living standards for the poorer parts of society. I don't think Reagan was fond of transport workers. The right in the US only seemed to like them when they could use them to make some country go bankrupt -- Like Chile under Allende.
Without commenting on the specific situation of Nicaragua at this moment, a multiple tier pricing scheme may not be the worst at times of crisis, especially when wages cannot be equalized. The US could of course also decide to just let people starve to death instead of giving them food stamps. The immediate cost benefit of that would be that it would be cheaper, but then you'd have other costs such as a sharp increase in burglaries. The subsidy in food/petrol/etc. May actually be the cheapest solution for those who are concerned about government expenditure. :)
-- Johannes Wilm http://www.johanneswilm.org
out of target
sorry for my slip..but cant resist,
"In the words of Ronald Reagan, this is called trickle-down economics. Maybe he was right about it working, maybe not"
I cant believe what im reading. Mr Fyl endorsing Mr Ronald Reagan.
Vote Buying...Well Fancy That!
Who'da Thunk It!
Number Two seems popular as well....
39% of the population can't be wrong can they?
Come on Morales, watch a little bit of it.
morales..dont forget ...
there building a huge refinery out on caratera viejo a leon..i know so because the president of venzuela,, pres. chavez told us so..so as soon as thats built..we wont be #1 for long..and i dont know for sure..but i bet all the other countries..offer discounts to public transportaion..
El Diario today on Gasoline and new ideas presented by Morales
It Google translates quite well.

Jason Hawes created The Atlantic Paranormal Society, or TAPS, with fellow plumber Grant Wilson. Both are part of a small, blue-collar Rhode Island community where many of the TAPS members were born and raised. His own highly personal paranormal experience (which he prefers not to discuss) prompted Jason to do more than wonder about an afterworld. He launched TAPS from a spare room of his apartment. Jason's wife respects TAPS' mission, but keep her distance - and had asked her husband not to bring his paranormal work home. Jason enjoys chasing ghosts, obviously, but he also loves spending time with his kids, deep-sea fishing and writing screenplays— he has written four sci-fi/thriller stories.

News articles on Amazon rainforest
Mongabay.com news articles on Amazon rainforest in blog format. Updated regularly.
(09/26/2013) Video of illegal gold mining operations that have turned a portion of the Amazon rainforest into a moonscape went viral on Youtube after a popular radio and TV journalist in Peru highlighted the story. Last week Peruvian journalist and politician Guido Lombardi directed his followers to video shot from a wingcam aboard the Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO), an airplane used by researchers to conduct advanced monitoring and analysis of Peru's forests. The video quickly received more than 60,000 views on Youtube.
Scientists discover that threatened bird migrates entirely within Amazon Basin
(09/11/2013) When one thinks of bird migrations, it's usually a north-south route that follows seasonal climates. But researchers in the Amazon have tracked, for the first time, a largely-unknown long-distance migration that sticks entirely to the Amazon Basin. Using satellite telemetry, scientists tracked a pair of Orinoco geese (Neochen jubata) from Peru and a male from Western Brazil, who both migrated to the Llanos de Moxos, a vast savanna and Amazonian watershed in Bolivia. The research has shown that the Orinoco geese—which breeds in both Peru and Brazil—depends on wetlands in the Llanos de Moxos for much of the year.
Scientists catch boa constrictor eating a howler monkey (photos)
(09/02/2013) In a world first, scientists have captured images and video of a boa constrictor attacking and devouring whole a femle howler monkey, one of the largest new world primates weighing in at around 4 kilograms (8.8 pounds). The rare predation event was recorded in a tiny forest fragment (2.5 hectares) in the Brazilian state of Rondonia by Erika Patricia Quintino, a PhD student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul.
Isolated Amazonian tribe makes another appearance in Peru (video)
(08/26/2013) Over 100 members of a voluntarily isolated tribe emerged from the jungles of Peru in a rare appearance on the Las Piedras River across from the a Yine Indian community in late June. Belonging to the Mascho-Piro Indians, members of the "uncontacted" tribe are occasionally seen on riverbanks during the dry season, but appearances in such numbers and so close to a local community was unprecedented.
Yasuni could still be spared oil drilling
(08/26/2013) When Ecuadorean President, Rafael Correa, announced on August 15th that he was abandoning an innovative program to spare three blocs of Yasuni National Park from oil drilling, it seemed like the world had tossed away its most biodiverse ecosystem. However, environmental groups and activists quickly responded that there may be another way to keep oil companies out of Yasuni's Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) blocs: a national referendum.
Nutrient deficiency in Amazon rainforest linked to megafauna extinction
(08/12/2013) Around twelve thousand of years ago, the Amazon was home to a menagerie of giant creatures: the heavily armored glyptodons, the elephant-sized ground sloth, and the rhino-like toxodons among others. But by 10,000 B.C. these monsters were largely gone, possibly due to overhunting by humans or climatic changes. There's no question that the rapid extinction of these megafauna changed the environment, but a new study in Nature Geoscience posits a novel theory: did the mass extinction of big mammals lead to nutrient deficiency, especially of nitrogen, in parts of the Amazon rainforest?
Forgotten species: the arapaima or 'dinosaur fish'
(07/15/2013) Let's go back some 14,000 years (or up to 50,000 depending on who you talk to), since this is the first time humans encountered the meandering, seemingly endless river system of the Amazon. Certainly, the world's first Amazonians would have been astounded by the giant beasts of the region, including ground sloths and mastodons (both now extinct), as well as giant anteaters, armadillos, and tapirs, currently the biggest land animal on the continent. But these first explorers might have been even more surprised by what dwelled in the rivers: anaconda, caiman, and the arapaima. Wait, the what?
Amazonian students help monitor threatened frog populations
(07/01/2013) According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, amphibians are the most threatened group of animals on Earth: currently around 30 percent of the world's amphibians are listed as threatened with extinction. However this percentage doesn't include those species about which too little is known to evaluate (26 percent). Amphibians face many threats but two of the largest are habitat loss and the lethal chytrid fungus, which has rapidly spread worldwide and is likely responsible for numerous extinctions. But conservationists are coming up with innovative and creative ways to keep amphibians from disappearing, including a program from the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) that is working with students in the Peruvian Amazon to monitor frog populations.
Over 30 tons of explosives to be detonated in Manu National Park buffer zone
(06/24/2013) A consortium of gas companies headed by Pluspetrol and including Hunt Oil plans on detonating approximately 38 tons of explosives in the south-east Peruvian Amazon in one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. The detonations are part of 2D and 3D seismic tests planned by Pluspetrol in its search for new gas deposits in the Camisea region—plans that are currently pending approval by Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM).
Bird extravaganza: scientists discover 15 new species of birds in the Amazon
(06/12/2013) From 2000-2009, scientists described on average seven new bird species worldwide every year. Discovering a new bird is one of the least common of any species group, given that birds are highly visible, mobile, and have been scrutinized for centuries by passionate ornithologists and birders. But descriptions this year already blows away the record year over the last decade (in 2001 when nine new birds were described): scientists working in the southern Amazon have recorded an incredible 15 new species of birds according to the Portuguese publication Capa Aves. In fact, this is the largest group of new birds uncovered in the Brazilian in the Amazon in 140 years.
11,000 barrels of oil spill into the Coca River in the Amazon
(06/12/2013) On May 31st, a landslide ruptured an oil pipeline in Ecuadorean Amazon, sending around 11,000 barrels of oil ( 420,000 gallons) into the Coca River. The oil pollution has since moved into the larger Napo River, which borders Yasuni National Park, and is currently heading downstream into Peru and Brazil. The spill has occurred in a region that is notorious for heavy oil production and decades of contamination, in addition to resistance and lawsuits by indigenous groups.
Scientists discover high mercury levels in Amazon residents, gold-mining to blame
(05/28/2013) The Madre de Dios region in Peru is recognized for its lush Amazon rainforests, meandering rivers and rich wildlife. But the region is also known for its artisanal gold mining, which employs the use of a harmful neurotoxin. Mercury is burned to extract the pure gold from metal and ore producing dangerous air-borne vapors that ultimately settle in nearby rivers. 'Mercury in all forms is a potent neurotoxin affecting the brain, central nervous system and major organs,'Luis Fernandez, an ecologist and research associate at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology, told mongabay.com. 'At extremely high exposure levels, mercury has been documented to cause paralysis, insanity, coma and death.'
Mystery of Amazon River carbon emissions solved
(05/21/2013) Bacteria living in the Amazon River digest nearly all wood plant matter that enters the river before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean, triggering the release of carbon locked up in the vegetation instead of sequestering it in the deep ocean, finds a new study published in Nature Geoscience. The research explains the mechanism by which the world's largest river 'exhales' large amounts of CO2.
Peru delays oil drilling in the Amazon to consult with indigenous peoples
(05/20/2013) Peru has delayed auctioning off 27 oil blocs in the Amazon in order to conduct legally-required consultations with indigenous groups in the region, reports the Guardian. Perupetro S.A., Peru's state oil and gas company, has announced it will auction 9 blocs off the Pacific coast, but will hold auctioning off the controversial oil blocs in the Amazon rainforest at least until later this year.
Crazy cat numbers: unusually high jaguar densities discovered in the Amazon rainforest
(05/16/2013) Jaguars (Panthera onca) are the biggest cat in the Americas and the only member of the Panthera genus in the New World; an animal most people recognize, the jaguar is also the third largest cat in the world with an intoxicatingly dangerous beauty. The feline ranges from the harsh deserts of southern Arizona to the lush rainforests of Central America, and from the Pantanal wetlands all the way down to northern Argentina. These mega-predators stalk prey quietly through the grasses of Venezuelan savannas, prowl the Atlantic forests of eastern Brazil, hunt along the river of the Amazon, and even venture into lower parts of the Andes.
NGO: conflict of interests behind Peruvian highway proposal in the Amazon
(05/16/2013) As Peru's legislature debates the merits of building the Purús highway through the Amazon rainforest, a new report by Global Witness alleges that the project has been aggressively pushed by those with a financial stake in opening up the remote area to logging and mining. Roads built in the Amazon lead to spikes in deforestation, mining, poaching and other extractive activities as remote areas become suddenly accessible. The road in question would cut through parts of the Peruvian Amazon rich in biodiversity and home to indigenous tribes who have chosen to live in "voluntary isolation."
What if companies actually had to compensate society for environmental destruction?
(04/29/2013) The environment is a public good. We all share and depend on clean water, a stable atmosphere, and abundant biodiversity for survival, not to mention health and societal well-being. But under our current global economy, industries can often destroy and pollute the environment—degrading public health and communities—without paying adequate compensation to the public good. Economists call this process "externalizing costs," i.e. the cost of environmental degradation in many cases is borne by society, instead of the companies that cause it. A new report from TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity), conducted by Trucost, highlights the scale of the problem: unpriced natural capital (i.e. that which is not taken into account by the global market) was worth $7.3 trillion in 2009, equal to 13 percent of that year's global economic output.
Amazon: the world's greatest rainforest or internet giant?
(04/25/2013) When you see the word "Amazon", what's the first thing that springs to mind—the world's biggest forest, the longest river or the largest internet retailer—and which do you consider most important? These questions have risen to the fore in an arcane, but hugely important, debate about how to redraw the boundaries of the internet. Brazil and Peru have lodged objections to a bid made by the US e-commerce giant for a prime new piece of cyberspace: ".amazon".
Judge halts military-backed dam assessment in Brazil's Amazon
(04/17/2013) A federal court in Brazil has suspended the use of military and police personnel during technical research on the controversial São Luíz do Tapajós Dam in the Brazilian Amazon. The military and police were brought in to stamp down protests from indigenous people living along the Tapajós River, but the judge decreed that impacted indigenous groups must give free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) before any furter studies can be done on the proposed dam. However, the decision is expected to be appealed.
Landowner who allegedly ordered Amazon murders acquitted
(04/10/2013) Jose Rodrigues Moreira, a Brazilian landowner who allegedly ordered the killings of Amazon activists Jose Claudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife Maria, was acquitted this week due to lack of evidence. But, the two men who carried out the assassinations, Lindonjonson Silva Rocha and Alberto Lopes do Nascimento, were found guilty and sent to 42 and 45 years of jail respectively.
Featured video: stemming human-caused fires in the Amazon
(04/09/2013) A new series of 5 films highlights how people use fire in the Amazon rainforest and how such practices can be mitigated. Collectively dubbed "Slash & Burn" each film explores a different aspect of fire-use in the Amazon. In recent years the Amazon has faced unprecedented droughts, possibly linked to climate change and vast deforestation, making the issue of human-started fires even more important.
Indigenous group: Brazil using military to force Amazon dams
(04/08/2013) An Amazonian community has threatened to "go to war" with the Brazilian government after what they say is a military incursion into their land by dam builders. The Munduruku indigenous group in Para state say they have been betrayed by the authorities, who are pushing ahead with plans to build a cascade of hydropower plants on the Tapajós river without their permission.
Killings over land continues in the Amazon
(04/04/2013) On Wednesday, in the Brazilian state of Pará, the trial begins of three men accused of murdering José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife Maria do Espirito Santo, who had campaigned against loggers and ranchers for years. Their assassinations in May 2011 generated international outrage, just like that of Chico Mendes, 25 years ago, and that of the American-born nun Dorothy Stang in 2005.
After decades of turning a blind eye, Peru declares state of emergency due to oil contamination in Amazon
(03/26/2013) The Peruvian government has declared an environmental state of emergency after finding elevated levels of lead, barium, and chromium in the Pastaza River in the Amazon jungle, reports the Associated Press. Indigenous peoples in the area have been complaining for decades of widespread contamination from oil drilling, but this is the first time the Peruvian government has acknowledged their concerns. Currently 84 percent of the Peruvian Amazon is covered by potential oil blocs, leading to conflict with indigenous people and environmental degradation.
Scientists discover two new remarkably-colored lizards in the Peruvian Amazon (photos)
(03/21/2013) Scientists have discovered two new species of woodlizards from the Peruvian Amazon. Woodlizards, in the genus Enyalioides, are little-known reptiles with only 10 described species found in South and Central America. Described in a new paper in ZooKeys, both new woodlizards were found in Cordillera Azul National Park, the nations third-largest.
Featured video: Saving the Amazon through maps
(02/20/2013) In a new video ethnobotanist, Mark Plotkin, talks about recent—and historical—efforts to preserve the Amazon rainforest through map-making and technology. Today scientists like Plotkin are teaching indigenous people how to digitally map their territory to win land rights over the forest they've used for centuries.
Jaguars, tapirs, oh my!: Amazon explorer films shocking wildlife bonanza in threatened forest
(02/19/2013) Watching a new video by Amazon explorer, Paul Rosolie, one feels transported into a hidden world of stalking jaguars, heavyweight tapirs, and daylight-wandering giant armadillos. This is the Amazon as one imagines it as a child: still full of wild things. In just four weeks at a single colpa (or clay lick where mammals and birds gather) on the lower Las Piedras River, Rosolie and his team captured 30 Amazonian species on video, including seven imperiled species. However, the very spot Rosolie and his team filmed is under threat: the lower Las Piedras River is being infiltrated by loggers, miners, and farmers following the construction of the Trans-Amazon highway.
Will Amazon species lose the climate change race?
(02/14/2013) Deforestation could increase the risk of biodiversity loss in the Amazon by forcing species to migrate further in order to remain at equilibrium with changing climates, says new research. "As migration models are made more realistic through the inclusion of multiple climatic, biotic, abiotic and human factors, the predicted distances between current and future climate analogues invariably increases," Kenneth Feeley, lead author of the paper published in Global Change Biology, told mongabay.com.
Fossil fuel company looking to exploit deposits in Manu National Park
(02/11/2013) Pluspetrol, an Argentine oil and gas company, is eyeing a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Amazon rainforest for gas production, according to documents seen by the Guardian. Manu National Park in eastern Peru is considered one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and is home to indigenous tribes living in voluntary isolation.
From slash-and-burn to Amazon heroes: new video series highlights agricultural transformation
(01/31/2013) A new series of short films is celebrating the innovation of rural farmers in the Manu region of Peru. Home to jaguars, macaws, and tapirs, the Manu region is also one of the top contenders for the world's most biodiverse place. It faces a multitude of threats from road-building to mining to gas and oil concessions. Still the impact of smallscale slash-and-burn farming—once seen as the greatest threat to the Amazon and other rainforest—may be diminishing as farmers, like the first film's Reynaldo (see below), turn to new ways of farming, ones that preserve the forest while providing a better life overall.
Miners win ruling over indigenous groups in Guyana
(01/29/2013) A judge in Guyana's high court has ruled that indigenous groups do not have the right to expel legal miners from their land. The judge, Diana Insanally, found that if the miners in question held a government-approved license than the local community had no right to dispute the mining. The ruling has sparked protests by indigenous groups and is expected to be appealed.
Illegally logged trees to start calling for help
(01/24/2013) Illegal loggers beware: trees will soon be calling—literally—for backup. The Brazilian government has begun fixing trees with a wireless device, known as Invisible Tracck, which will allow trees to contact authorities after being felled and moved.
Photos: Scientists discover tapir bonanza in the Amazon
(01/22/2013) Over 14,000 lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris), also known as Brazilian tapirs, roam an Amazonian landscape across Bolivia and Peru, according to new research by scientists with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Using remote camera trapping, thousands of distribution records, and interviews, the researchers estimated the abundance of lowland tapirs in the Greater Madidi-Tambopata Landscape Conservation Program made up of three national parks in Bolivia (Madidi, Pilón Lajas and Apolobamba) and two in Peru (Tambopata and Bahuaja Sonene).
Gold mine approved in French Guiana's only national park
(01/15/2013) Tensions have risen in the small Amazonian community of Saül in French Guiana after locals discovered that the French government approved a large-scale gold mining operation near their town—and inside French Guiana's only national park—against their wishes. Run by mining company, Rexma, locals and scientists both fear that the mine would lead to deforestation, water pollution, and a loss in biodiversity for a community dependent on the forest and ecotourism.
Some Amazon trees more than 8 million years old
(12/14/2012) Some Amazon rainforest tree species are more than eight million years old found a genetic study published in the December 2012 edition of Ecology and Evolution.
Forests, farming, and sprawl: the struggle over land in an Amazonian metropolis
(12/04/2012) The city of Parauapebas, Brazil is booming: built over the remains of the Amazon rainforest, the metropolis has grown 75-fold in less than 25 years, from 2,000 people upwards of 150,000. But little time for urban planning and both a spatial and mental distance from the federal government has created a frontier town where small-scale farmers struggle to survive against racing sprawl, legal and illegal mining, and a lack of investment in environmental protection. Forests, biodiversity, and subsistence farmers have all suffered under the battle for land. In this, Parauapebas may represent a microcosm both of Brazil's ongoing problems (social inequality, environmental degradation, and deforestation) and opportunity (poverty alleviation, reforestation, and environmental enforcement).
Unique program to leave oil beneath Amazonian paradise raises $300 million
(11/26/2012) The Yasuni-ITT Initiative has been called many things: controversial, ecological blackmail, revolutionary, pioneering, and the best chance to keep oil companies out of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park. But now, after a number of ups and downs, the program is beginning to make good: the Yasuni-ITT Initiative has raised $300 million, according to the Guardian, or 8 percent of the total amount needed to fully fund the idea.
Featured video: on-the-ground look at Brazil's fight against deforestation
(11/15/2012) A new video by the Guardian takes an on-the-ground look at Brazil's efforts to tackle deforestation in the Amazon. Using satellite imagery, an elite team of enforcement agents are now able to react swiftly to illegal deforestation. The crackdown on deforestation has been successful: destruction of the Amazon has slowed by around 75 percent in the last 8 years.
UNESCO disturbed by gas plans for Peru's Manu National Park
(10/15/2012) Major concerns about the danger posed by gas exploration in a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Amazon rainforest has prompted UNESCO to promise to lobby the Peruvian government. Manu National Park's biological diversity exceeds "that of any other place on Earth," according to UNESCO's website, and is inhabited by indigenous people living in "voluntary isolation" who could be decimated if they come into contact with gas workers.
Indigenous groups re-occupy Belo Monte dam in the Amazon
(10/09/2012) Construction on Brazil's megadam, Belo Monte, has been halted again as around 150 demonstrators, most of them from nearby indigenous tribes, have occupied the main construction site at Pimental. Over a hundred indigenous people joined local fishermen who had been protesting the dam for 24 days straight. Indigenous people and local fishermen say the dam will devastate the Xingu River, upending their way of life.

(09/12/2012) With over 90 species of bat, 50 species of snake, 300 fish, 12,000 plants, and 11 percent of the world's bird species, Madidi National Park in Bolivia may be the world's most biodiverse place, according to new surveys by the the Bolivian Park Service (SERNAP) with aid from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Survivors say gold miners in helicopter massacred village of 80 in Venezuelan Amazon
(08/30/2012) Up to 80 people have been massacred by gold miners in the remote Venezuelan Amazon, according to reports received by the indigenous-rights group, Survival International. According to Reuters, the reports have prompted the Venezuelan government to investigate the alleged murders of the Yanomami isolated community. According to three indigenous survivors, sometime in July a helicopter and what-are-believed to be illegal goldminers massacred the Yanomami community of Irotatheri.
Belo Monte mega-dam halted again by high Brazilian court, appeal likely but difficult
(08/15/2012) A high federal court in Brazil has ruled that work on the Belo Monte dam in the Brazilian Amazon be immediately suspended. Finding that the government failed to properly consult indigenous people on the dam, the ruling is the latest in innumerable twists and turns regarding the massive dam, which was first conceived in the 1970s, and has been widely criticized for its impact on tribal groups in the region and the Amazon environment. In addition the Regional Federal Tribunal (TRF1) found that Brazil's Environmental Impact Assessment was flawed since it was conducted after work on the dam had already begun.
Evidence of 'isolated' indigenous people found in Peru where priest is pushing highway
(08/14/2012) Evidence of indigenous people living in "voluntary isolation" in a remote part of the Amazon has been found where an Italian Catholic priest is campaigning for Peru's government to build a highway. The discovery is controversial because the priest has questioned the existence of the isolated people, sometimes referred to as uncontacted, who live without regular contact with anyone else.
Guyana rainforests secure trust fund
(07/30/2012) The nation of Guyana sports some of South America's most intact and least-imperiled rainforests, and a new $8.5 million trust fund hopes to keep it that way. The Guyanese government has teamed up with Germany and Conservation International (CI) to create a long-term trust fund to manage the country's protected areas system (PAS).
Experts: sustainable logging in rainforests impossible
(07/19/2012) Industrial logging in primary tropical forests that is both sustainable and profitable is impossible, argues a new study in Bioscience, which finds that the ecology of tropical hardwoods makes logging with truly sustainable practices not only impractical, but completely unprofitable. Given this, the researchers recommend industrial logging subsidies be dropped from the UN's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program. The study, which adds to the growing debate about the role of logging in tropical forests, counters recent research making the case that well-managed logging in old-growth rainforests could provide a "middle way" between conservation and outright conversion of forests to monocultures or pasture.
Brazil cripples illegal gold mining operations in indigenous territory
(07/18/2012) Brazilian police have arrested 26 people and confiscated gold and aircraft in a coordinated effort to tackle illegal gold-mining in the Yanomami Indigenous Reserve, reports the BBC. Along with illegal miners the year-long investigation also arrested complicit airplane pilots, engineers, and business people in a bid to undercut the trade's funders and infrastructure.
Still time to save most species in the Brazilian Amazon
(07/12/2012) Once habitat is lost or degraded, a species doesn't just wink out of existence: it takes time, often several generations, before a species vanishes for good. A new study in Science investigates this process, called "extinction debt", in the Brazilian Amazon and finds that 80-90 percent of the predicted extinctions of birds, amphibians, and mammals have not yet occurred. But, unless urgent action is taken, the debt will be collected, and these species will vanish for good in the next few decades.
Indigenous tribes end occupation of Belo Monte
(07/12/2012) After occupying the construction site of the massive Belo Monte dam for 21 days, some 300 indigenous people have left and gone home. The representatives from nine Amazonian tribes abandoned their occupation after two days of meeting with the dam's builder, the Norte Energia consortium.
Vietnam buys stakes in controversial oil blocks threatening Peru's most vulnerable indigenous people
(07/11/2012) Vietnam's state oil and gas company, PetroVietnam Exploration and Production (PVEP), has announced its intention to acquire a major stake in controversial oil operations in the remote Peruvian Amazon. This area, known as Lot 67, is one of the most biodiverse in the world and home to indigenous people living without regular contact with outsiders, sometimes dubbed 'isolated' or 'uncontacted', who could be decimated by contact with oil company workers because they are highly vulnerable to disease.

That would never pass peer review. Images don't "prove" anything, they only "illustrate" or "demonstrate".
Not necessarily. Except for the motto having been misquoted - it should be: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", it is often taken to mean that a lot of really bad stuff is done in good faith. It's often used as a defence against meddling busybody do-gooders who interfere in things a lot and break them.
Although your interpretation works as well.

Ummm... Maybe going off on a tangent here, but where does the sys admin fit into all this? Surely s/he would have final say and the authority to keep all IT resources working and used correctly - and then I'd like to see Mr. "the world revolves around me" say or do anything.
The fact that the sys admin wasn't made aware of the 'fault' was probably the first mistake Bob made!
Sounds far more like he was competing with everyone else for scarce funding and his little print job was just a way of holding up other people's applications causing some to miss the deadline, increasing the likelihood of his project being approved.
I mean honestly, though it may be possible to use Post Script to perform some computation, how are you going to get the result? Print it out then take a photo of each page sitting on a wooden table, submit it to a cloud based OCR service.
Son, we live in a world with print servers, and those print servers need to be guarded by word documents with writing. I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom... We use words like postscript and code; We use these words as the backbone of a life spent number crunching something... I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the very blanket of print services I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you and stopped cancelling my print jobs. Otherwise, I would suggest you setup a print server and buy your own toner cartridges.

So should be the decision to occupy the printer for two days. Or maybe even to print something, since after all, its company property, not the property of the guy who wants to print something...

Given the following heated discussion with that guy when bob stormed to his desk, I strongly agree with that one. The other guy was certainly on the same "level" as Bob was, and both were certainly not at the end of the foodchain.
Wasnt much more easy if the programmer just put a broken sign in the printer. Then people will not try to use it and complain.
He is not much smart besides postscript (anyone that can program basic, can program fortran, can program postscrip also, just must be a fool to waste time is this kind of shit), i it was, then he will prevent people from using the printer, perhaps changing network port, and ductaping its inputs and outputs, and puting a sign, now it is broken and cannot be used anymore, then take away kboard and monitor, and put a sign dont touch. Perhaps even taking the printer to his room was the best response first.
From the sysadmins viewpoint
1. The user was wasting everyone else's time & costing the company money as they waited for their printouts.
2. Company equipment is meant to be used for the purpose for which it is provided - not days-long computations on a PRINTER! Misuse of company property is a matter to be taken up with a manager.
3. Printers usually have slower processors and less RAM than a PC - wtf is a user doing wasting their own time writing a slow postscript program to crunch numbers that could be done more quickly and productively on equipment (a PC for example) that is MEANT for the job.
4. The user needs a lesson in communications and the meaning of the word SHARED in shared resource.
5. The sysadmin says DONT f*ck with the equipment. You don't get to do your own PC programming - if you run programs that aren't approved then out the door you go...

Honestly, if you want to piss people off on the internet, it's much easier just to find people with genuinely stupid opinions (and by "find" I mean "throw a rock") and tell how stupid those opinions are. Hell, you don't even have to be rude- the dumber and less informed somebody's opinion is, the more likely they are to react with violent rage to have the logical fallacies in their arguments pointed out to them.
You basically know you've won when it devolves into them saying "I DIDN'T SAY THAT, RAGE RAGE!" and you copy-pasting the earlier post where they said exactly that.

Make up your mind!
Thanks to a recent "green initiative" we have three printers on our floor, and that's fairly typical in the building.
Each floor has hundreds of people.
And two of the three printers are the Sharp copiers.
Jeeze, don't confuse the poor guy. He's having enough trouble writing complete sentences with correct punctuation...
What's next? You're going to ask him to chew his food before swallowing!
wait what ? assburgers ?
This is not a communication problem, this is a moron problem. If the printer is backed up, you kill the job that's choking it and you move on. If someone keeps sending the job that chokes it, you beat them about the head and shoulders with a tire iron until they stop. Simple.

Based on everything I've read, Zuneberry prefers ears and eye-sockets.
I've also heard him state on occasion that he likes to create new orifices, too.
No, they just didn't have the balls to go over there and do it themselves. You're creating a strawman argument here. Printer's job: print ink to paper.
If (job.elapsestime > 5 hours) job.kill();
Period. I don't care of Carmak, Gates, Gosling or God himself created the fucking job.
Indeed. I have a sinking suspicion he's one of the Woodland Christmas Critters.
I am always RELUCTANT to cancel someone else's job, but I can't agree that "you just don't".
Suppose you saw a truck with no driver accelerating toward the kindergarten playground. Would the responsible thing to do be: (a) Do everything possible to get control of the truck and stop it before children are hurt; or (b) Do nothing, on the assumption that someone must have deliberately set the truck in motion for a good reason and you have no right to interfere?
So okay, in this case no one is going to die if they can't get their printout. But no one is going to die if this mysterious print job doesn't run either. The stakes are lower but the principle is the same. It is bad manners and inefficient business practice to cancel someone else's job because you want the resource now. But it is equally bad manners and inefficient business practice to unreasonably hog a resource that others need.
In real life, when I see a job hogging resources and denying service to others, I try to find the person who initiated the job and find out what they are doing. If I can't find the person, I'll kill the job. 9 times out of 10 they thank me later for fixing the problem that they accidentally created. (If the person insists on hogging a resource and they outrank me I'll talk to a bigger boss about it. Otherwise I'll kill the job.)
Oh dear god, what's happening to me?!?!?!
Wow, that's pretty mild compared to what I was suggesting.
In the old days, a PostScript printer processor might be running at 10MHz with the computers at half that speed, so it made some sense to use it as a number cruncher, especially if it was idle a lot.
Just reading up on it -- looks interesting, especially the portability of the language, might play around with it for kicks.
The Apple LaserWriter, when it came out, had the fastest processor of any apple product. It was 50% faster than the Macintosh with four times more RAM. If you're crunching numbers, that's a serious improvement.
Maybe I'm being stupid or missing something obvious, but I have a question about this.
In the end, Bob created a virtual printer for the job. In other words, the job wasn't sent to the actual printer for processing, but instead the processing was handled on the print server itself.
So did the job ever finish? If so, I assume that the output was to a file on the print server's hard drive instead of to the printer. Or can you have a virtual printer send the output directly to a real printer?
Of course, if a virtual printer on an old machine retasked into a print server could do the job, then that would show that the piece of crap PC wasn't so piece of crap as imagined.

Kershaw Select Fire Multi Tool #1920
Kershaw Select Fire Multi Tool #1920
$ 34.99
These were designed by the Hawk team- a father and son from Idaho. They are very clever- both the team and this knife. It is a full size liner locking folding knife. Then, there is a full size bit holder that pivots out from the top of the handle. Then, there are two, spring loaded bit storage compartments- one on either side of the handle, that each hold two standard bits. There are really no sacrafices here- everything is actually full size and not "mini." A really great feature is the price!
The Knife Features:
8CR13MOV Stainless Steel - Many knife enthusiasts will have heard that 8CR13MoV stainless is the equivalent of AUS8A. And it's true. For everyday use, even a serious knife enthusiast would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a well-made 8CR13MoV blade and a well-made AUS8A blade. Yet there are slight differences in the steel formula. While most other components are relatively equal, 8CR13MoV has slightly more carbon for hardness and wear resistance and slightly less nickel.
The key to blade performance for both of these steels is manufacturing quality. That's where Kershaw's expertise comes in. Kershaw precision heat-treats 8CR13MoV steel to bring out its best high-performance characteristics—the ability to take and hold an edge, strength, and hardness. 8CR13MoV is top-of the-line Chinese steel and, we believe along with Kershaw, offers our customers an excellent value.
Steel: 8CR13MoV stainless steel
Handle: Glass-reinforced nylon
Lock: Locking Liner
Blade: 3 3/8 in.
Closed: 4 1/4 in.

God help us: Internet Explorer 6 Lives On
Summary: We all know that Internet Explorer 6 needs to die, but early Web-based applications still rely on it, and now--NO!!!--there's a browser extension that will let you run IE 6 in later versions of Internet Explorer.
Please, please, just let Internet Explorer 6 die. It was an awful browser even in its day, 2001. The only reason it became popular was that Microsoft got away with illegally beating Netscape into the ground. Unfortunately, many corporate developers created crude, IE 6-specific Web applications that we're stuck with to this very day. And, now thanks to Browsium's UniBrows, we may be stuck with for many more years to come.
UniBrows will let users run IE6 within IE8. Yes, that's right; people will be able to keep running IE 6 for years to come.
Shoot me now.
I gave up on IE6 as a set of security holes pretending to be a Web browser back in 2004. Since then, lots of other people have joined me in fleeing from IE6 to other Web browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Opera, and my new favorite, Chrome.
Heck, even Microsoft wants you to stop using IE6. While I think you'd be better off with an open-source Web browser, I also think that moving to any of the later versions of Internet Explorer would be a smart move.
If you're still on XP, and you want to stay true to Microsoft, go with Internet Explorer 8. If you're running Windows 7, you should be looking forward to IE9.
Despite all these alternatives and IE6's security problems, according to site analytics vendor Net Applications, the decrepit Web browser still has almost 15% of the world market. If you look at how individual browsers rank that makes its the world's third most popular Web browser behind IE8, with 29.04% and Firefox 3.6x with 17.63%. What's really amazing though is that Gartner research shows that an amazing 20% of businesses are still stuck on IE6-specific programs.
In other words, it's not idiot end-users running unpatched copies of XP that's keeping IE 6 alive, its businesses. You'd think their IT departments would know better.
At the same time, Browsium asserts that it "Reduces security risk by enabling you to move to a safer, more secure browser." And, its "Opt-in design reduces attack surfaces based on your specific needs."
Excuse me if I don't buy this. You could sandbox IE6 in a virtual machine, which is what Microsoft actually recommends for users who can't give up IE6, but to do that inside IE8? While keeping ActiveX and JavaScript? I can't see it.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — -- The New York Giants replaced Plaxico Burress -- again.
For the second straight day, the Giants reached into the NFL draft to find a replacement for their troubled receiver, taking the tallest receiver in the annual college grab bag -- 6-foot-6 Ramses Barden of Cal Poly -- in the third round.
New York used its first-round pick on Saturday to take North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks and they were so interested in Barden on Sunday that they made a deal with the rival Philadelphia Eagles to move up six slots for the 85th pick overall.
Barden is a fascinating choice. The negative is that he played in the Football Championship Subdivision, a level below big-time college football. The positive is his production. He caught 206 passes for 4,203 yards and 50 touchdowns. His string of TD catches in 20 consecutive games broke a record previously held by Jerry Rice.
"Ramses has a lot to learn, but he has a huge, huge upside," general manager Jerry Reese said. "We think he can come in and contribute right away as a threat in the red zone, one of those guys, if you get a little corner, it's a matchup problem. You can throw it out there and we like to think he can come down with it."
In the week leading up to the draft, a highlight reel of Barden catches was posted on YouTube. It was one fade pattern after another, with many looking like the last-minute touchdown catch that Burress made in the Super Bowl in February 2008 to give New York its stunning win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots.
"I think that's only the tip of the iceberg as far as my ability and the things that I can do," Barden said in a conference call. "Like I said, things are going to take work. The fade was in our offense for a number of years when I got there."
The Giants used most of the second day to shore up an offense that faltered down the stretch after Burress accidentally shot himself in the thigh in late November and was suspended for the rest of the season.
New York also took Wisconsin tight end Travis Beckum in the third round, North Carolina State halfback Andre Brown in the fourth and one-time Oklahoma starter Rhett Bomar in the fifth round. Cornerbacks DeAndre Wright of New Mexico and Stoney Woodson of South Carolina were selected in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively.
None of the players is being counted on to start, but each can make contributions to make the offense a little more potent.
New York made three picks on Saturday, taking Virginia linebacker Clint Sintim and Connecticut offensive tackle William Beatty in the second round in addition to Nicks, who set 14 school records in just three seasons with the Tar Heels.
Barden, who had 18 touchdown catches in his junior and senior years, will join Nicks in battling veterans Steve Smith, Domenik Hixon, Sinorice Moss and Mario Manningham for the starting jobs held last year by Burress and Amani Toomer.
Burress was left go earlier this month when the team decided that he was not going to change his troubled ways. Toomer was not re-signed.
"I would like to say that I'm a complete receiver," Barden said. "That's my goal all the time, to do everything you'd ask a receiver to do, whether it be down-the-field, intermediate, short-game, quick-drops, pass receiving, run blocking, leadership."
A converted linebacker, Beckum caught 136 passes in his sophomore and juniors seasons for 11 touchdowns. He was limited to 23 catches as a senior because of a hamstring injury and a broken leg that ended his career.
Reese said Beckum would be a pass-catching H-back, lining up in the backfield and on the line.
"We think this guy can be a nightmare as a matchup problem for linebackers and strong safeties," Reese said.
While Brandon Jacobs remains the starter at halfback, Brown and Ahmad Bradshaw will fight for the No. 2 spot held by Derrick Ward, who was signed by Tampa Bay as a free agent.
Brown started 30 games for the Wolfpack, rushing 523 times for 2,539 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also caught 70 passes for 631 yards and two TDs.
Reese said the Giants had Brown targeted.
"We think this guy is very similar to Derrick Ward," Reese said. "You had to look at a lot of tape because he had a foot injury and he was rotated a lot with another back. But watching the tape, I think he is 24, it would almost look like 34, how Derrick Ward runs the draws and screens. They put him out wide, put him in the slot, and he's a big boy. He's 224 and ran a 4.48 (40-yard dash). He has the size and speed you like. We like that pick a lot."
Bomar threw 10 touchdowns in 12 games as a redshirt freshman at Oklahoma in 2005. He was dismissed by the team in August 2006 for receiving compensation for a job he was not working.
Bomar enrolled at Sam Houston and played the past two seasons, throwing 37 touchdowns, including 27 this past season.
"It was too much value at the time to pass him up," Reese said, adding that the Giants have not written off Andre Woodson, who spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad.
The Giants only kept two quarterbacks on the roster last season -- Eli Manning and David Carr.
Wright had 30 tackles, five pass breakups and two interceptions this past season, during which he injured both shoulders. He had surgery on both shoulders after the season.
Stoney Woodson, who has good speed, had 27 tackles and four interceptions for South Carolina, including a 68-yard return for a touchdown against Tennessee. He started 10 of 13 games.
Marc Ross, the director of college scouting, said Wright and Stoney Woodson both have good size and ball skills and can play the run, which is what the teams looks for in late rounds from defensive backs.

Dead Flies …
Ecclesiastes 10:1
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
We've all heard now that Lance Armstrong has finally confessed to using "performance enhancing" drugs when competing in the Tour de France which he won seven times. This is after years of lies, intimidation and cover-ups. During the time when the accusations of "doping" surfaced naturally Armstrong supporters were vehement in his defense. The main guy who testified under oath against Armstrong, was ex-teammate Tyler Hamilton. The story is readily available all over the internet, but to make it easy, HERE is a link to one I'm using. I want to use some of the comments in that article to make a point.
* Tyler Hamilton is liar.
* How could Lance Armstrong be a "cheat" if according Tyler Hamilton, "everyone was doing it?"
* Armstrong's guilty of nothing until convicted by a court.
* Very disappointed with 60 Minutes and Scott Pelley in particular for running this story without any hard facts to back it up.
* The case against Armstrong is based on lies, hearsay, and a CBS 60 minutes Witch Hunt for ratings.
* The 60 Minutes piece was a hatch job, any lawyer could defend these statements …
* I saw him drink a coke. What does that prove?
* Tyler is being forced into a corner– Testify or face charges. What a witch hunt?
* Relevance? …
* A whole of money was spent on this issue regarding Lance Armstrong – do you have nothing else to do with that money!
* Just another disgruntled Lance wannbe looking for his second in the sun.
* Why is this news? If he has pictures OK let's look into it but this is nothing more than hearsay
* Proof, anyone? ANYONE???????
Sound familiar folks? There are 248 comments on that article and nearly all are like the above. Some are quite lengthy but the majority of Mr. Armstrong's defenders were vehement. Attacking, accusing CBS, 60 Minutes, Tyler Hamilton and everyone else of lying, looking for ratings, envy, of doing the same thing, etc. And now, people are stunned and scrambling to justify Armstrong. It took years to bring this guy down and Armstrong's admission has proven his supporters wrong.
Now there are multiple legal problems and Armstrong is facing some pretty severe punishments.
I don't take any delight in Lance Armstrong being proven to be a liar and a fraud. But this should serve to let the defenders of Mr. Obama know … what people are, is not what we see. I believe Mr. Obama has been proven to be a fraud. I believe he is a foreign national and an enemy of the United States. What keeps Obama safe besides the intimidation, money, position and media cover is the fact the Congress, the Supreme Court, military elite and intelligence agencies to name a few would all be guilty of perpetrating the greatest fraud in history and possibly treason. This in short is the reason the lawsuits against Mr. Obama have all been stopped for various reasons. Mainly because the plaintiffs don't have "standing". Consider Lt. Col. Terry Lakin's court martial. He was denied discovery for his defense, which is a standard and lawful procedure … because the judge said revealing Obama's birth records would be "embarrassing" to Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama is perfect to bring about the change to a European style socialistic government desired by those in the Congress and the ultra rich elite. He is the perfect person to usurp the Constitution and the power of the Congress to override the Bill of Rights and bring the American citizenry under complete control. He's aggressive and he hates the United States and his hatred is the main driving force to "fundamentally change" the United States of America. Thus his arrogance and knowledge that he can pretty much do anything he wants with impunity.

Representatives from a wide variety of industries, companies and associations, including AOPA and GAMA, have joined together to form the Coalition To Save Our GPS to resolve a "serious threat" to GPS.
GPS navigation device
A panel of experts, selected jointly by the GPS Industry Council and LightSquared Corp., is currently determining whether LightSquared's proposed NAS-wide network of 40,000 powerful ground stations transmitting voice and Internet traffic could interfere with and potentially jam GPS receivers operating within their own FCC-protected frequency band.
Over the next three months, a panel of 14 experts will test and analyze whether LightSquared's proposal to transmit Internet data from a nationwide network of 40,000 high-powered ground stations will jam very low powered GPS signals operating in the immediately adjacent GPS frequency band.
Small, inexpensive GPS jammers carried by truckers have caused the occasional shutdown of the Laas test installation at Newark Airport. The devices, powered by simply plugging into the cigarette lighter, are intended to foil interrogations of the truck's remotely installed GPS and its coupled cellphone by the trucking company's dispatcher to check on the vehicleπs location and progress.
Phoenix-based Accord Technologies is at Heli-Expo (Booth No. 7839) to acquaint OEMs, avionics developers and modification centers with its NexNav modular GPS receivers.
The company's small, low-power receivers are available as circuit card assemblies (CCA) for avionics OEM hosting or as LRUs for aircraft installations. They will support ADS-B, all normal GPS procedures and precision approach requirements.
Accord's NexNav technology is compatible with Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including WAAS, European EGNOS, Japan's MTSAT and GAGAN in India.
Several years ago, when satellites were being touted as aviation's sole means of navigation from takeoff to touchdown, former FAA Administrator Langhorne Bond painted a picture of a dark winter's night with below-limits weather up and down the east coast. In that scenario, he stated, terrorist GPS jammers could become "weapons of mass destruction." The FAA shrugged it off as unfounded speculation.
Garmin has rolled out a sub-$16,000 avionics system that's certified for installation in nearly 600 Class I and II Part 23 airplanes (defined as singles and twins weighing less than 6,000 pounds). The Garmin G500 avionics system, introduced at last month's EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., includes primary and multifunction displays mounted in a single bezel that can slide into the opening previously occupied by an instrument six-pack.
Garmin's GPSmap 696 is a capable and feature-filled portable GPS navigator that doubles as a Class 1 or 2 electronic flight bag (EFB) with the ability to display weather, terrain, approach charts and airways. While the 696 displays own-ship position on moving maps and SafeTaxi airport diagrams, potential buyers should know that it does not do so on approach charts.
Accord Technology (Booth No. 520) is promoting its NexNav line of GPS WAAS receiver technology, which supports LP/LPV approaches and new ADS-B standards. A joint venture of Accord Software & Systems of Bangalore, India, and NexGen Avionics, Accord is also announcing appointments of R. Shenoy Manur, CEO; Hal Adams, COO; and Randy Shimon, v-p, engineering and compliance.
Elm Creek Partners has acquired avionics and navigation system supplier FreeFlight Systems (Booth No. 1481). The new executive management team, led by CEO Tim Taylor and COO Robert Schneier, assumed responsibility July 15.

A helping hand: Ride the grocery bus
Scott Edman has a big sweet tooth that needs satisfying and a bird feeder that needs frequent filling. Both tasks require a trip to the grocery store at least one a week.
Because physical injuries prevent him from driving, getting to a store is difficult.
In the past he could call in an order to New London's grocery store,
The Big Store, and employees would deliver groceries to him.

Ronaldo to buy Real physios new car for helping him win Ballon d'Or
Cristiano Ronaldo is very aware that winning a Ballon d'Or, although an individual award, could not be accomplished without the help of his teammates and his coaches. And, of course, his team of physios (as seen above).
Turns out, the folks responsible for maintaining Ronaldo's body and massaging out the knots in his massive thighs will be most rewarded for doing their part. According to reports, Ronaldo had promised the full staff of physios a new car if he'd won the Ballon d'Or again, or won the Champions League. Whichever came first, we reckon.
From MARCA:
A small part of the Ballon d'Or that he was awarded last Monday was also for the physios that work with him, and that is why the player has said on numerous occasions that he would buy them a car if he won the Ballon d'Or or if Real Madrid won its much-awaited "Décima" (tenth Champions League trophy).
The promise was made during one of the many long sessions that the Portuguese has being treated on the physio table. And Cristiano Ronaldo is a man who doesn't make promises lightly.
While we don't know whether this means the physios receive one car to share, or each their own, it's a great gesture from Ronaldo.
Meanwhile, the entire staff got this shout-out via Twitter, with Ronaldo saying that "this award is for everyone."
Este premio es de todos. De todo el equipo y staff. Y de toda la afición! pic.twitter.com/DE2gvhObdD— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano)January 14, 2014

"OH the Places You'll Go" Dr. Seuss Inspired Bar Mitzvah
"You'll go Far, Young Man!" -Dr. Seuss
I recently coordinated a one-of-a-kind, totally fun and whimsical Bar Mitzvah at The Marconi Automotive Museum. SUCH FUN with such a great family! Great themed stations from Award-Winning Jason's Catered Events included "Cat in the Hat" Cosmos… and "I am Sam" Martinis…Gourmet Mashed Potato Station, Awesome Slider Station with Three Types of Sliders, and a Gourmet Chili Station. Amazing fried candy bars and mini donuts from Shelly at The Fry Girl. YUM-O. The Awesome Bar Mitzvah Mom created her very own candy station in the Turquoise and Red colors of the party.

Page 57
Proteins and DNA sequences are polymers consisting of a chain of monomers with a common backbone substructure that links them together. In the case of DNA, there are 4 types of monomers, the nucleotides, each having a different side chain. For proteins, there are 20 types of monomers, the amino acids. With just a few exceptions, the sequence of monomers, that is, the primary structure, of a given protein or DNA strand completely determines the three-dimensional shape of the biopolymer. Because the function of a molecule is determined by the position of its atoms in space, this almost perfect correlation between sequence and structure implies that to know the function of a biopolymer, it in principle suffices to know its primary sequence.
The primary sequence of a DNA segment is denoted by a string consisting of the four letters A,C,G, and T. Analogously, the primary sequence of a protein is denoted by a string consisting of 20 letters of the alphabet, one for each type of amino acid. In principle, these strings of symbols encode everything one needs to know about the protein or DNA strand in question. If the primary sequences of two proteins are similar, then it is reasonable to conjecture that they perform the same function. Because DNA's principal role is one of encoding information (including all of an organism's proteins), the similarity of two segments of DNA suggests that they code similar things.
Mutation in a DNA or protein sequence is a natural evolutionary process. Errors in the replication of DNA can cause a change in the nucleotide at a given position. Less often, a nucleotide is deleted or inserted. If the mutation occurs in a region of DNA that codes for protein, these changes cause related changes in the primary sequence and, hence, the shape and activity of the protein. The impact of a particular mutation depends on the degree to which the original and new amino acid sequences differ in their physical and chemical properties. Mutations that result in proteins that are so altered that they function improperly or not at all tend to be lethal to the organism. Nature is biased against mutations in those critical regions central to a protein's function and is more lenient toward changes in other regions.
Similarity of DNA sequences is a clue to common evolutionary origin. If two proteins in two organisms evolved from a common precursor, one will generally find highly similar segments, reflecting strongly conserved critical regions. If the proteins are very recent derivatives, one might expect to see similarity over the entire length of the sequences. While

Getting Involved – ASSE State Gov't Affairs
ASSE Government Affairs at the chapter and state level is intended to be a member-led activity. The national office can provide expertise, advice and whatever assistance is needed to achieve government affairs initiatives at the state and local level, but the initiative to undertake activities largely must come from members themselves.
The operating procedures of the national Government Affairs Committee (GAC) explains the organization and details the simple procedures for approval that need to be followed when an initiative is undertaken.
Generally, each ASSE Chapter should appoint a Government Affairs Chair to monitor and send on to Chapter members the legislative and regulatory information that national Government Affairs provides as a free member benefit. These are the GA Updates and State Legislative and Regulatory Activity Reports. Members value the information to help them keep current with developments that could very well affect their responsibilities as SH&E professionals.
Chapter GA Chairs also should work closely with their Chapter officers, Regional Government Affairs VPs and the Manager of Government Affairs and Policy at national ASSE to pursue opportunities to impact legislation and regulation or raise the visibility of ASSE's members among state legislators and regulators.
If you would like to be the Government Affairs Chair for your Chapter, contact your Chapter President. If you have any questions or would like suggestions on how to become more involved, please feel free to call Dave Heidorn, Manager of Government Affairs and Policy at ASSE at 847/768-3406 or email@example.com. You may also want to take a look at a powerpoint presentation on how to gain influence through the political process that should give you some ideas on how to be involved in government affairs in your state.
ASSE members – on their own – have achieved positive results from changing the course of a cell phone bill in North Carolina to getting safety professionals recognized in New Jersey law. Anything is possible. But the first step is simply getting involved.
Simple Procedures
- Chapters are expected to inform the Regional Vice President, the Regional Government Affairs Chair, the Area Director and Area Government Affairs Chair of any proposed government affairs activity as soon as practicable. The Regional Vice President will inform the Vice President, Council on Professional Affairs, and Manager of Government Affairs and Policy of such proposed activity.
- It is preferable that all chapters in a state agree to a government affairs activity. If all chapters cannot agree, a majority of chapters will decide the direction of a proposed activity. In any case, the Regional Vice President may choose to pursue a government affairs activity in the best interests of the Society with the concurrence of a majority of chapters in the state.
- Once Chapters or the Regional Vice President reach a position or comment on a government affairs activity, that position and comment shall be shared with the Manager of Government Affairs and Policy. The Committee will ensure that the position and comment is consistent with Society positions and by-laws.
