Mit Geotag kann man Bildern GPS-Informationen von einem GPS-Gerät oder händisch anhand einer Karte zufügen. Das Programm ist relativ selbsterklärend, wichtig ist vor allem, dass Oracle Java (EFB-Suche) und Exiftool (EFB-Suche) installiert sind - das eine, damit geotag überhaupt läuft, das andere für den Eintrag in die Metadaten.Geotag is an open source program that allows you match date/time information from photos with location information from a GPS unit or from a map
The main features are:
Geotag is written in Java and runs on most popular operating systems.
Graphical user interface
The user interface makes adding location information to your photos easy.
Intelligent matching
The algorithms in Geotag automatically match GPS data to your photos. For photos taken when your GPS didn't have a signal you can let Geotag make a guess based on the closest available GPS information.
Fine tune location using Google Maps
You can show a photo's location in your web browser using Google Maps. The map contains a marker you can drag on the map to change the location associated with a photo. The location the GPS records for your photo is the location where you took the photo, not the location of what can be seen in the photo. By simply dragging the marker you can correct this. The change is immediately reflected in Geotag.
Fine tune locations using Google Earth
You can also show a photo's location in Google Earth, if it is installed on your computer. As you move the map in Google Earth a marker for your photo's location is constantly moved to the centre of the map and its new position sent back to Geotag.
Assign location names to photos
For photos that already have a location, Geotag can lookup location names nearby and store them with the image.
You don't need a GPS to use Geotag
Even if you don't own a GPS unit (or it wasn't switched on when you took a picture) you can still assign a location to the photo. Geotag will show a default location on the map and you can drag the marker and zoom in to give the photo a location. This is a bit more awkward than using a GPS, but not too difficult. You can also enter location coordinates manually and save them to your photos.
Many file formats supported
Geotag supports JPEG/JPG files and many RAW camera vendor specific files. The RAW file types currently supported are ARW (Sony), CR2 (Canon), DCR (Kodak), DNG (Adobe), ERF (Epson), MEF (Mamiya), MRW (Minolata), NEF (Nikon), NRW (Nikon), ORF (Olympus), PEF (Pentax), RAF (Fuji), RAW (Panasonic), SR2 (Sony) and SRF (Sony).
Open source
Geotag is open source. It is published under the GPL (GNU General Public License). this means its free to use and you can even get the source code and modify it and redistribute it.
Easily translatable
Geotag can easily be translated to different languages. The program recognizes the language used on your computer and if a translation for that language is available, Geotag will use it automatically. Currently the program knows English,German, Danish, Dutch, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Greek, Swedish and Italian. Volunteers for other translations are always welcome.

Written with his own brand of humor, this April, 1918 letter from Tom Ashley to his mother in Deerfield, Massachusetts, describes the place where he is living and includes prevailing attitudes of the French people toward Americans. He includes his version of some of the French customs and describes the Gallic landscape, comparing it to a section of Deerfield (the Old World), while also confessing what is most on his mind - that "everyone is crazy to get at the Germans."

Very reliable and does what he says.
Highly recommended as a buyer.
I can't say the same, he pretended to never reciever the package, the post office says they delivered it, and are asking for a letter from him to declare he didn't so far. He doesn't answer my emails anymore.
Now I have a 5D2 + 100mm missing, paid the sending, and have nothing in return. Not sure if I need to blame Eunice or the post, but I'm a bit mad.

As Chair of the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB), I often have the opportunity to travel around the Commonwealth. In the course of my travels, I frequently hear from members of the public, including concerned parents, the victim community, and public officials, as well as various partnering criminal justice agencies, and am reminded of how very public our role is in keeping families safe.
SORB is one tool with a distinct, but important role in the criminal justice toolbox to help protect the public. In essence, SORB provides to you, the public, an important piece of information – the level of risk and danger a sex offender poses to the community and information about that offender.
Until the SORB law passed, it wasn't easy to get this information, but the Legislature and Courts decided that the law was a way for the public to protect itself by making them aware of this class of criminals. The law requires sex offenders to register and we consolidate their information into a large database available to law enforcement. We then classify offenders by level, and then disseminate that information to police. You can look up Level 3 offenders by name, county, city or town, zip code and incarcerated status on our public website www.mass.gov/sorb. Level 2 offender information is also available by going to your local police department and completing a request form.
Because of our name, many people incorrectly, but understandably assume that we also supervise and manage sex offenders, but we do not perform that function. Under the law there are other agencies such as the Probation Department, and the Parole Board, who on a case by case basis, may supervise individual sex offenders once sentenced or released from incarceration.
Many people also question why, if a sex offender is a high risk, he or she can be on the street, or live near a school, park or playground. The answer is that here in the Commonwealth, a Court decides whether an offender will serve a sentence for their sex offense, how long they must be incarcerated and whether any supervision and conditions should be imposed. The reality is that sex offenders live in our communities so go to our website and check it often.

Farrell, England backs coach, revealed the players have laughed off the jibes, which he dismissed as hackneyed cliches designed to get Scotland fired up before their trip to Twickenham for Saturday's Calcutta Cup showdown.
The England management under Stuart Lancaster have worked hard over the last 12 months to eradicate any sense of arrogance from the national team.
Farrell said: "I definitely don't recognise anything he has said.
"People say this every year about the English anyway. It has stuck now. That is why we take it tongue-in-cheek. We know exactly what we are about.
"A couple of the lads have seen it and they are all taking the mick out of each other. They think it's quite funny about those who have been mentioned. There are a few jokes flying around the place."
Telfer told the Daily Mail that England, who beat New Zealand on the same weekend as Scotland lost to Tonga, are not as good as they think they are.
He said: "They are too arrogant, too pretentious and too condescending to realise they have a problem."
Chris Ashton, Danny Care, Ben Youngs and Manu Tuilagi were named as "very impressionable" players who let the All Blacks win go to their heads.
There was credit for England's coaching team of Lancaster, Farrell and Graham Rowntree, who Telfer described as: "All from the north and all down to earth."
Lancaster's first aim when he took interim charge of the England squad a year ago was to reconnect the national team to their roots.
In the wake of the 2011 World Cup disappointments, Lancaster wanted to restore a sense of pride in the jersey from within the squad and a sense of pride in the England team from the public.
England now prepare for the RBS 6 Nations in Leeds rather than in Portugal. They drew 6,000 to an open training session at Headingley and Lancaster last Friday held a seminar for 500 grass-roots coaches.
Telfer's comments have certainly stoked the boiler ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations opener at Twickenham, where Scotland have not won in 30 years.
"He's Scottish isn't he, very passionate about his country and he wants to give his lads as much belief as he can," Farrell said.
"He cares about his country. It is him trying to do the right thing by his own country, to try and motivate them.
"That is what he has always been about really - passion and stirring a few feathers up along the way. It is what you want, a bit of passion."

Electronic Lab Notebooks
Undergraduate Project Report
The initial two subseries of leads have the general structure:
- TCMDC Aryl pyrrole core InChi Key: LNROIXNEIZSESG-UHFFFAOYSA-N
- Near-Neighbour core InChi Key: JZQOEGKHCXONAV-ZROIWOOFSA-N
A number of these compounds and intermediates are available for biological testing from Todd group by request. If you would like to contribute new analogues, please check the list of desired compounds.
The two known TCMDC series starting points
Compounds are commercially-available
Series was released in a large dataset by GSK and later listed as one of the most promising leads from TCAMS set (though lacking aryl F)

The proposed resynthesis strategy for these two compounds:
The Near-Neighbour Sub-series
Known "Near Neighbours" contained in the Tres Cantos set
The original idea for investigation of the near-neighbour set came from Paul Willis and was posted on the synaptic leap.
Data/links for these compounds:

Initial synthesis strategy toward near-neighbours
Experimental information available from PMY 13-1, PMY 14-1 and PMY 16-1, PMY 14-3.
Current synthesis strategy toward near-neighbours
Synthesis method taken from this paper.
Alternative side-chains
Some alternative heterocyclic side-chain ideas have been proposed here at the Synaptic Leap.
The [1] side chain would target ester isosteres (see TCMDC-123812) but with greater biological stability.
- Synthesis: oxazole synthesis
- Pyrrole core acid to amide: Amide Synthesis
Other known incidences of these molecules/this series
Related compounds are known to inhibit the proteasome, according to this Nature paper.
According to this paper, similar compounds are agonists of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor subtypes 1-5, which have a role in immune system function.
A new class of antimalarial was recently published by Novartis, Imidazolopiperazines.

Malaria Assays
In vitro
Current tested compounds and their biological activities are summarised on a Google spreadsheet
The results are collected on malaria.ourexperiment.org.
In vivo
TCMDC-123812, TCMDC-123794 and near neighbour ZYH 3-1 have been submitted for study oral in vivo mouse model. Unfortunately it was found that the compounds possess zero oral efficacy (Results available here) in this initial trial.
Mode of action
In silico prediction
In silico prediction of targets has been carried out by Iain Wallace and summarised by Mat on the synaptic leap. Detail on the procedure is given on the ELN. The following targets were identified from data derived from the ChEMBL database:
- Carboxy-terminal domain RNA polymerase II polypeptide A small phosphatase 1
- Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)[in progress at GSK Tres Cantos]
- SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 2
- SUMO-activating enzyme subunit 1
- Cyclin-dependent kinase 1
Collaborators are invited to investigate these targets to confirm if these are targeted by our compounds.
In vitro
GSK Tres Cantos have offered to assay our compounds against dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH).

Under the new federal regulations, hospitals face hefty penalties for readmitting patients they have treated, on the theory that many readmissions result from poor follow-up care.
It is no longer enough for hospitals to make patients healthy enough to leave. Now, as part of the Obama administration's health care overhaul, they are spending millions of dollars to keep those patients from coming back, often acting like personal assistants to help them manage their post-hospital lives.
While federal statistics show the effort is beginning to reduce costly and unnecessary readmissions, a growing chorus of critics is asking whether the government policy, which penalizes hospitals that have high readmission rates, is unfair. They are also questioning whether hospitals should be responsible for managing the personal lives of patients once they are released.
''It's consumed a lot of resources," said Dr. J. Michael Henderson, who focuses on quality and patient safety for the Cleveland Clinic, which attributes its relatively high readmission rate to successfully treating a high number of severely ill patients.
Under the new federal regulations, hospitals face hefty penalties for readmitting patients they have treated, on the theory that many readmissions result from poor follow-up care.
It makes for cheaper and better care in the long run, the thinking goes, to help patients stay healthy than to be forced to readmit them for another costly hospital stay.
So hospitals call patients within 48 hours of discharge to find out how they are feeling. They arrange patients' follow-up appointments with doctors even before a patient leaves. And they have redoubled their efforts to make sure patients understand what medicines to take at home.
But hospitals have also taken on responsibilities far outside the medical realm: They are helping patients arrange transportation for follow-up doctor visits, get safe housing or even find a hot meal, all in an effort to keep them healthy.
Medicare, which monitors hospitals' compliance with the new rules, says nearly two-thirds of hospitals receiving traditional Medicare payments are expected to pay penalties totaling about $300 million in 2013 because too many of their patients were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Last month, the agency reported that readmissions had dropped to 17.8 percent by late last year from about 19 percent in 2011.
But increasingly, health policy experts and hospital executives say the penalties, which went into effect in October, unfairly target hospitals that treat the sickest patients or the patients facing the greatest socioeconomic challenges.
Medicare officials say they have listened to hospitals' concerns but defend the policy as heading in the right direction.

He Found Out
Last week Joseph and I went out to pick a video for our "Friday Night Family Movie," and to get some takeout for dinner. Joseph was in a terrific mood-- and with good reason. We had just gotten him a long-overdue new bike the week before (he's getting so tall!); he recently started playing little-league baseball and was really enjoying it; and we were on a roll with his blood sugar control-- no big highs or lows for almost a week.
I was feeling pretty darn good myself.
Anyhow, as we were walking toward the video store entrance, I put my arm around Joseph. Surprisingly, instead of checking to see if anyone was looking at us (and pulling away if that was the case), he just slipped his arm around my waist, looked up at me and smiled.
Man. I love this kid.
So we walked in the store, browsed the new releases, and found nothing. Eventually we settled on My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Joseph said he was up for a comedy. I promised him that he'd love it.
Next stop was Noodles & Company to pick up dinner. Just after placing our order, we sat down to wait for our name to be called. It was then that Joseph noticed the poster on the wall behind me. In large letters were the words "Tour de Cure." It was a bike-ride fundraiser sponsored by the American Diabetes Foundation. Joseph jumped out of his chair to get a closer look at the poster. "Mom, we should do this! I think I saw flyers near the cash register." Before I could say anything, he disappeared into the crowd of people waiting to place their order. And before I could call him back, Joseph reappeared holding a small stack of pamphlets.
"Mom, we could give these out to my friends. It says you can form a team. What do you think we should call ours?"
"How about 'Joseph's Crew'?"
"Nah. I don't want it named after me. I know. How about 'The Madison Mad Riders'?"
"Very cool" I said.
So, he sat back down and began studying the pamphlet in earnest. And that is when he found out.
"Blindness" I heard him say in a barely audible voice. "Heart disease." Quickly I opened one of the flyers and saw what he was reading: "Diabetes can lead to blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and amputations."
I went cold.
"Joseph, these are the complications of uncontrolled, untreated diabetes. That is NOT you." The words just tumbled out. And with every one my heart broke a little more as I realized there is no going back. He knows.
His head was down as he continued looking at the page. He said nothing.
"Joseph, the ADA needs to motivate people to ride for a cure. If they write that diabetes is a condition that can be controlled with good habits, careful monitoring and insulin, then motivating people to raise money for a cure would be much more difficult."
Joseph was very quiet on the ride home in the car. Stupidly, I said that dad would really be psyched about doing the ADA bike ride with us.
"I don't want to do that anymore." That was all he said.
Since last Friday I've felt horrible about not having sat him down early on and told him about the complications of diabetes in more detail. Since his diagnosis I have stressed the importance of good control, and alluded to the fact that people with diabetes who do not take care of themselves can experience other health problems-- while those with good habits tend to be healthier than many in the general population. Joseph's always been so good about checking his sugars, bolusing, and just really being in tuned to his body. We haven't had a problem (so far) motivating him to work with us. And he's been great about letting me know when this stuff is getting to him.
But all this time I've felt like I was keeping some sort of terrible secret from him. When I raised this issue in the past with the folks at his clinic, they said that "he's still young, and he hasn't had diabetes for very long. There's no need to give him anything more to worry about now." And Joseph does tend to worry about things. Eight months ago, when we picked up his prescriptions for the first time, he expressed surprise and concern over the cost of these items. "How am I going to pay for these things when I grow up?"
And now there's blindness. Heart disease. Kidney failure. Amputations.
Last night Joseph was thumbing through our Calorie King pocket carb counter. I took the opportunity to point out the section in there on diabetes. It mentions complications, but prefaces a description with the words "if untreated, diabetes can lead to... " I said "you're getting insulin, you are being treated for this and... "
"Mom, I'm not scared."
"What?" I said.
"Mom, you already told me all this. I really understand."
And with that he gave me a little smile and went back to looking at the carb book, shaking his head a bit as he turned the page.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
There's a precarious tightrope "I'm Reed Fish" walks on, straining to preserve balance as it toys with the conventions of indie heartbreak cinema and proper emotional expression. It's a quirky, self-aware diatribe on the fallibility of love, but it has this constant state of fatigue that I found enchanting.
Reed Fish (Jay Baruchel, "Undeclared") is a small-town celebrity, squeezing out a living working the same radio beat his deceased father enjoyed success with. When ex-girlfriend Jill (Schuyler Fisk, "Orange County") comes home from college for the summer, Fish finds old romantic feelings bubbling to the surface. Caught between his need to please his stable fiancée Kate (Alexis Bledel, "Gilmore Girls") and the liberty from his confined world that Jill provides, Fish begins to lose his patience when his beloved hometown starts to turn up the pressure on his future.
The way "I'm Reed Fish" commences, potential viewers might think they've stumbled upon "Northern Exposure" leftovers; the picture works a familiar variety of eccentricity to paint a cartoon portrait of rural community claustrophobia and merciless observation. The opening is a crude summary of Fish's everyday life, and thankfully director Zackary Adler seems in a hurry to skip past the fluffiness of the material and find more fertile emotional ground to explore.
Written by Reed Fish, there's nothing in the film that clues the viewer in on what we're actually seeing. Is this an autobiographical sacrificial offering to his past mistakes, or is the film a fantasy? "I'm Reed Fish" actually comes across as both, and that mixture of strange confidence and overwhelming doubt is where the picture finds major success. Adler is marvelous arranging Fish's woozy romantic troubles and his character arc is something I'm positive many will relate to. Evoking a smothering sense of poisonous romantic yearning and horrifying personal inventory results, "I'm Reed Fish" hits those sharp notes of characterization often, in the middle of a plot that dances around convention perhaps one too many times.
Though billed as a comedy, "I'm Reed Fish" doesn't offer many jokes. It's something of a shock, considering Baruchel's gift for laughs, yet it's a picture hoping to tell a more personal story, not step over itself for giggles. The whole cast (including Katey Sagal, Blake Clark, Chris Parnell, and DJ Qualls) puts in lovely work trying to help this story rise above mediocrity and sell Fish's anxiety, but I was especially taken with Fisk, who not only delivers a performance of previously unseen grace (it's career-best work here), but she also performs some folksy ballads that expose just as much warmth behind the microphone and she holds in front of a camera.
I was less enamored with a critical plot twist, revealed at the 20-minute mark, just when the film is starting to gel. Of course, I won't reveal the details of the curveball, but it leaves the picture in a state of confusion and isolation. Essentially, Adler and screenwriter Fish strip their film of reality, giving the material a slight Charlie Kaufman quality that ruins the heartfelt thump of the piece. The intent is obvious; without it, the film would run dangerously close to painful navel-gazing and usher in serious questions of logic. With this perplexing second layer of reality, the film is permitted a chance to extend the experience through sheer oddity. Truthfully, I would've preferred the picture lead with its heart instead of ridiculous self-awareness.
Presented in anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1 aspect ratio), "I'm Reed Fish" is a gorgeously photographed motion picture (by Doug Chamberlain) that doesn't seem to be given the proper care on DVD. It's an outdoorsy movie (think Terrence Malick with one eye poked out of his head) and uses significant amounts of sunlight to fill the frame. The DVD registers the brightness in quietly contrasty ways, diluting the impact of the picture.
The 5.1 Dolby Digital track doesn't hold much weight, but it does give the mournful songs by Fisk and the bouncy score by Roddy Bottum (a Faith No More refugee) sizable life. Dialogue and music are nicely separated.
Extra is more like it, with a measly "Behind the Scenes" look at the making of the film. Running a pointless six minutes in length, the featurette presents some friendly access to the movie, trying to explain Reed Fish's origins and capture the production's brisk pace and snappy spirit. However, six minutes gets us nowhere, leaving the supplement with more questions than answers. Still, it does reveal who Reed Fish actually is (I'll take the screen version, athankyou) and it pays ample tribute to the stunning California locations.
Even with a gratuitously miscalculated narrative speed bump, I appreciated "I'm Reed Fish" for its modest charms and respectful performances. Its emo-lite undertones might urge some viewers to break the DVD in half 10 minutes into the film, but for those more in tune with formula of the conflicted heart, this picture takes great care to keep you satisfied.

Biochemistry scientist at UC Davis receives Gates Foundation funding
UC Davis Health System announced today that it will receive funding through Grand Challenges Explorations, an initiative created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that enables researchers worldwide to test unorthodox ideas that address persistent health and development challenges. Thomas Jue, UC Davis professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine, will pursue an innovative global health research project, titled "Sialic Acid Supplement for Improved Cognition."
Grand Challenges Explorations funds scientists and researchers worldwide to explore ideas that can break the mold in how we solve persistent global health and development challenges. Jue's project is one of 110 Grand Challenges Explorations grants announced today.
"We believe in the power of innovation--that a single bold idea can pioneer solutions to our greatest health and development challenges," said Chris Wilson, Director of Global Health Discovery for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "Grand Challenges Explorations seeks to identify and fund these new ideas wherever they come from, allowing scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs to pursue the kinds of creative ideas and novel approaches that could help to accelerate the end of polio, cure HIV infection or improve sanitation."
Projects that are receiving funding show promise in tackling priority global health issues where solutions do not yet exist. This includes finding effective methods to eliminate or control infectious diseases such as polio and HIV as well as discovering new sanitation technologies.
To learn more about Grand Challenges Explorations, visit www.grandchallenges.org.
Jue, a leading expert in the use of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy to visualize biochemical processes in living organisms, intends to develop the first viable, non-invasive technique to directly monitor the metabolism of sialic acid, a type of carbohydrate found in mother's milk that plays an important role in newborn brain development and function. The unique imaging capability would enable Jue and his colleagues from the UC Davis Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, Frederic A. Troy, II, a professor emeritus who specializes in sialic acid chemistry, and Youngran Chung, an associate adjunct professor with expertise in intermediary metabolism, to identify sialic acid complexes responsible for cognition and neural development. It also would allow the team to understand the underlying biochemistry of sialic acid and find ways to improve its uptake in the brain.
By determining the distribution and metabolism of sialic acid, Jue and his colleagues hope to advance global health by paving the way for more effective nutritional food supplements that will foster infant brain development and better cognition in later life.
About Grand Challenges Explorations
Grand Challenges Explorations is a US$100 million initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Launched in 2008, Grand Challenge Explorations grants have already been awarded to nearly 500 researchers from over 40 countries. The grant program is open to anyone from any discipline and from any organization. The initiative uses an agile, accelerated grant-making process with short, two-page online applications and no preliminary data required. Initial grants of $100,000 are awarded two times a year.

Pan-fried radish cake (aka turnip cake / diakon cake) is my all time favourite snack. Pan-fried radish cake is a common breakfast or snack in both Singapore and Malaysia. It is also a popular dish in dim sum restaurants. I always had a piece of pan-fried radish cake and a cup of coffee for breakfast when working at NTU years ago. Now, I usually have it for afternoon tea when going to afternoon wet market.
I like it pan-fried but T likes the stir-fried version, with dried radish, egg and bean sprouts. Original recipe is available in Chinese and I have translated it to English. I prefer radish cake without Chinese sausage and shiitake mushroom (Malaysian style), so simply omitted them. You may also add in other ingredients like dried scallop and finely chopped dried radish.
Ingredients (9"):
1800 g shredded radish
5 pcs dried shiitake mushroom, soaked and diced
5 tbsp dried shrimp, rinsed and soaked
3 Chinese sausage, diced
½ cup cooking oil
600 g rice flour
3 cup water (750 ml)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ajinomoto (optional )
2 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp fried shallots
- Heat oil in wok, stir-fry dried shrimp, shiitake mushroom and Chinese sausage until fragrant. Add in seasonings and fried shallot, mix well.
- Add in shredded radish, together with the liquid from the radish.Cook until radish is soften and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, mix rice flour with water then stir the batter into cooked radish, mix well.
- Transfer mixture into greased pan, flatten the surface with spatula. Steam in preheated steamer or wok on high heat for 10 minutes, then medium heat for 2 hours.
- Cool to room temperature in pan.
- Slice and pan-fry before serving.
- The cake will be cooked after 30 minutes steaming, but it will have better texture if steamed longer.
- The pan must be greased, otherwise it will be some difficulties to turn the cake out later.
- I find the taste of radish is quite strong with this recipe, will reduce the amount of radish next time.

IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
This chapter assesses how climatic changes and associated environmental and
social changes are likely to affect human population health. Such an assessment
necessarily takes account of the multivariate and interactive ecological framework
within which population health and disease are determined. This ecological perspective
recognizes that the foundations of long-term good health lie in the continued
stability and functioning of the biosphere's natural systemsoften
referred to as "life-support systems."
Deliberate modification of these ecological and physical systems by human societies
throughout history has conferred many social, economic, and public health benefits.
However, it also has often created new risks to health, such as via mobilization
of infectious agents, depletion of freshwater supplies, and reduced productivity
of agroecosystems (Hunter et al., 1993; Gubler, 1996). Consider, for
example, the chain of consequences from clearance of tropical forests. In the
first instance, it typically leads to a warmer and drier local climate. The
consequent drying of soil and loss of its organic structure predisposes the
area to increased water runoff during heavy rainfall. This, in turn, can endanger
human health via flooding, water contamination, impaired crop yields, and altered
patterns of vector-borne infectious diseases. Meanwhile, forest clearance also
contributes to the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) and
hence to climate change and its health impacts.
Today, as the scale of human impact on the environment increases, a range of
population health impacts can be expected from these large-scale changes in
the Earth's life-support systems (Watson et al., 1998). That is the complex
context within which actual and potential health impacts of global climate change
must be assessed.
The IPCC Second Assessment Report (McMichael et al., 1996a) relied on the relatively
limited scientific literature that had emerged during the late 1980s and early
1990s. Most published studies were on health impacts associated with climate
variability (e.g., El Niño) and extreme events (natural disasters and
heat waves). Predictive modeling of future health impacts was in an early developmental
The SAR noted the many inherent uncertainties in forecasting the potential
health impacts of climate change. This included recognition that various other
changes in social, economic, demographic, technological, and health care circumstances
would unfold over coming decades and that these developments would "condition"
the impact of climatic and environmental changes on human health. However, such
accompanying changes can be foreseen neither in detail nor far into the future.
The overall assessment was that the likely health impacts would be predominantly
adverse. Reflecting the published literature, most of the specific assessments
were nonquantitative and relied on expert judgment. They drew on reasoned extrapolations
from knowledge of health hazards posed by extreme weather events, increases
in temperature-dependent air pollution, summertime increases in certain types
of food poisoning, and the spectrum of public health consequences associated
with economic disruption and physical displacement of populations. It was noted
that the projected effects of climate change on agricultural, animal, and fishery
productivity could increase the prevalence of malnutrition and hunger in food-insecure
regions experiencing productivity downturns.
For two of the anticipated health impacts, the published literature available
by 1995 allowed a more quantitative approach. The relevant conclusions were
as follows:
This is the last of the sector-impact chapters in this volume. This is appropriate
because human population health is influenced by an extensive "upstream"
range of environmental and social conditions. Indeed, over time, the level of
health in a population reflects the quality of social and natural environments,
material standards of living, and the robustness of the public health and health
service infrastructure. Therefore, population health is an important integrating
index of the effects of climate change on ecosystems, biological processes,
physical environmental media, and the social-economic environment.
Two other points are important. First, the causation of most human diseases
is complex and multifactorial. Second, there is great heterogeneity in the types
of disease: acute and chronic; infectious and noninfectious; physical injury
and mental health disorders. These two considerations explain some of the difficulties
in fully understanding and quantifying the influences of climate on human health.
Profiles of health and disease vary greatly between regions and countries and
over time. Currently, noncommunicable diseases (including mental health disorders)
predominate in developed countries, with cardiovascular diseases and cancer
accounting for more than half of all deaths. In poorer countries, infectious
diseases (especially in childhood) remain important, even as noncommunicable
diseases increase in urbanizing populations that are exposed to changes in lifestyle
and environmental and occupational exposures. Globally, infectious diseases
remain a major cause of human morbidity and are responsible for approximately
one-third of all deaths (WHO, 1999a). Many of these water-, food-, and vector-borne
infectious diseases are sensitive to climate.

Beloved Kansas City eatery now a symbol of loss
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It was a beloved fixture on Kansas City's culinary scene for more than 27 years. A legendary wine list, well-reviewed food, hospitable staff and intimate setting made JJ's a smart choice for everything from popping a cork on a rare varietal to popping the question.
But Tuesday's deadly blast reduced the Country Club Plaza landmark to scorched rubble and apparently killed an employee, casting an indelible pall on the years of fond memories shared by patrons and staff alike.
The blast occurred after a construction crew apparently struck a natural gas line, touching off an explosion that could be felt for nearly a mile.
Fifteen people were injured, and the remains of one body were found in the rubble. The victim has not been formally identified, but Genny Cramer said she was confident based on information from authorities that it was her daughter, Megan Cramer, a 46-year-old server at JJ's, who was killed.
"We talked on the phone the day she died," Genny Cramer said. "She said she was doing well and was getting ready for work. She told us she loved us, and we told her we love her too. It is very sad. We're going to miss her so much."
Jimmy Frantze, JJ's owner, said Wednesday experts were looking into the cause and that he was worried about his workers.
"I've talked to about half my employees," he said. "They are all upset. They lost a co-worker."
Frantze opened JJ's in 1985 and quickly found success.
Oenophiles coveted its knockout wine list, by some estimates 1,800 bottles deep. In 2005, JJ's won its second Grand Award from Wine Spectator magazine, one of only 84 restaurants worldwide to earn the honor that year.
"If you were a wine aficionado, it was a great place to go," said Mary Bunten, 49, who lives about a mile away but walked her dogs past the wreckage Wednesday. "I was looking at the helicopter pictures and looking at water and wine running down the street. I wonder if they are going to rebuild it. It had a lot of character to it."
Locals knew JJ's as a prime after-work stop, though it won broader attention after receiving consistently high ratings from contributors to Zagat's restaurant guides.
Many workers at regulars said Wednesday their thoughts were foremost with the injured and family of the deceased.
A Missouri Gas Energy official said a subcontractor working for a cable company hit a natural gas line with an underground borer more than an hour before Tuesday's explosion. MGE Chief Operating Officer Rob Hack said a Heartland Midwest worker called 911 at 4:54 p.m. Tuesday to report hitting a gas line near the restaurant.
MGE workers arrived at the scene shortly after, and Hack said those who had remained inside the restaurant before the blast were urged to get out. Evidence suggests the ignition point was inside JJ's, Fire Chief Paul Berardi said, but he didn't say what might have sparked the gas.
The explosion shattered glass in nearby buildings, and the resulting inferno sent an ominous smoke plume high above the outdoor shopping district.
In addition to the fatality, fifteen people were injured, including two who remained in critical condition.
Brad Russell, a lawyer for Heartland Midwest, released a statement late Wednesday expressing sympathy for the victims and saying the company is cooperating with authorities. "We are reserving any public comment until the completion of a thorough investigation," the statement concluded.
Until Tuesday night's explosion, JJ's had managed to survive in the shadow of a large construction project that has been under way across the narrow, one-way street for seven years. The work had complicated access to the street-corner restaurant, and a server needed hospital treatment in 2006 after she was struck by a rock sent flying by blasting for excavation of the construction site.
The construction project languished and eventually stalled out in 2008.
"We go in there all the time," said Amber Blahut, 29, who lives nearby and JJ's was a favorite spot to meet up with friends. "It's one of those places that there's been so much construction for so long that for a restaurant like that to maintain such a following."
It's uncertain whether Frantze will rebuild. The development that stalled out has been restarted and is expected to open later this year with a large law firm as a chief tenant, theoretically providing a new JJ's with a well-heeled clientele.
But on Wednesday, Frantze was noncommittal.
"We're dealing with the loss of a business so I'm not sure," he said.

Revision as of 16:03, 13 June 2012
Since Linux Kernel 3.2, multitouch devices are handled by the
hid-multitouch module, see Kernel Modules.
Configuration (USB devices)
Find the vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID) for your touchscreen using
$ lsusb
... Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0eef:725e D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd ...
Here, VID=0eef (eGalax) and PID=725e. Now, get the MT_CLASS_* definitions from [1]. Currently vendor specific classes are available for 3M Cypress and eGalax. If none of this matches your device, you can try to experiment with the other MT_CLS_*. In this example
#define MT_CLS_EGALAX 0x0103
You need to convert MT_CLS_* to decimal (In this case, 0x0103 is 259 in decimal).
After loading the
hid-multitouch, see Kernel Modules, you need to pass the devices' options with
# echo BUS VID PID MT_CLASS_* > /sys/module/hid_multitouch/drivers/hid\:hid-multitouch/new_id
In this example, the touchscreen is an USB device, so BUS=3 and the previous command looks like this:
# echo 3 0eef 725e 259 > /sys/module/hid_multitouch/drivers/hid\:hid-multitouch/new_id
Reboot. If the touchscreen is detected you should submit your devices' details (relevant
lsusb line) to the linux-input mailing list.
If the touchscreen is not working properly, you may need to install a specific driver for your touchscreen, see #Drivers.
The driver for eGalax tocushcreens is available from the eGalax website. Also, it is availbale as xf86-input-egalax-linux3AUR from the Arch User Repository.
Invert Y-axis
If after installing the eGalax driver the Y-axis of the touchscreen is inverted, edit the file
/etc/eGTouchd.ini an change the value of
Direction from 0 to 2:
... DetectRotation 0 Direction 2 Orientation 0 ...

Participants will be breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital. There will be two groups of patients: those receiving adjuvant radiation therapy alone following surgical tumor resection, and those receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy following surgical tumor resection. Patients receiving any radiation regimen detailed below in section 2b are eligible for the study. In this study the investigators will be drawing blood for beta-endorphin measurement prior to, at various times during, and following patients' treatment regimens. In addition, at each blood draw, patients will complete questionnaires that assess fatigue, mood, and pain. These questionnaires have all been validated for use in cancer patients (see "Procedures Involving Human Participants section below), and for our study, the investigators have formatted them onto computer tablets for ease of patient completion and data analysis. This study will progress as follows:
Patients: Patients expected to receive adjuvant radiation therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital will be approached for enrollment onto this study. Two groups of patients, a chemotherapy group and a non-chemotherapy group, will be enrolled as follows:
- Adjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy
- Adjuvant radiation therapy without chemotherapy
The enrollment goal for each group is 50 patients (total of 100 patients for the study). This calculation is based on the approximate number of 30 patients the investigators will need to achieve a sensitivity of β-endorphin changes of 5 pM being statistically significant to a p-value of<0.05 with 95% power. Based in our finding in mice, the investigators expect β-endorphin levels to vary between individuals, and the investigators have increased sample size by 70% from our calculations to account for deviations from our β-endorphin levels estimations. Additionally, the investigators have added patients to account for a number of patient dropping out of the study, since this is a long trial for patients requiring multiple blood draws.

City officials have closed Santa Barbara's Leadbetter Beach to recreational use in the wake of a large sewage spill in the area.
About 6,600 gallons of untreated sewage spilled in the waterfront area near the 1100 block of Luneta Plaza, and flowed into a nearby storm drain that discharges at Leadbetter Beach, according to a statement from the city Public Works Department.
The department issued a "beach closed" notice Monday at Leadbetter, which will remain off limits until testing reveals the water is safe.
"The affected area has been posted with signs warning the public to avoid contact with the water until sample results indicate the water is safe for recreational use," the statement said.
The city was alerted by a resident shortly after 8 a.m. Monday that a manhole near her home had been overflowing since the previous day.
City crews traced the problem to a root blockage, which was cleared within about 20 minutes, the city said.
"The section of sewer main where the spill occurred had been recently rehabilitated and lined with a continuous plastic liner," the city said. "Subsequent closed-circuit television inspection of the sewer main revealed that roots causing the blockage had grown into the main from a private lateral."
Although staff conduct regular checks of the sewer system, the city said, there are over 7,000 manholes, "and we are reliant on the public to notify us of sewage spills."
The city has staff on-call at all times, and the public is urged to report any suspected sewage spills as quickly as possible. During regular business hours, people should call 805.564.5413. After hours, nights and weekends they can call 805.963.4286.
In addition to avoiding the water, the department is urging the public to wait until at least 10 days to harvest shellfish in the affected area, which could carry disease from contaminated waters.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I join a sorority?
Women must be a second semester freshman or have achieved 12 credit hours at another university; possess a 2.5 cumulative GPA from Clarkson University; and be a matriculated student at Clarkson University.
What is recruitment and how does it work?
Recruitment is a mutual selection process. It is designed to allow you the opportunity learn about the sororities at Clarkson and interact with members of each chapter. Chapters extend bids to prospective members. Not all women who participate in recruitment receive a bid. Those who do not are welcome to participate in recruitment the following semester, provided they meet academic eligibility. You can choose to accept or decline a bid.
How much does it cost to join a sorority?
Each sorority has fixed expenses, including dues, new member fees, initiation fees, and housing fees. The average cost for full membership is about $250 per semester.
Will joining a sorority affect my grades?
The all-sorority and all-fraternity GPA is higher than the all-female and all-male GPA. Students who join a Greek organization often see their grades
increase as a result of structured study hours and academic resources provided by the chapter. Members must maintain a certain GPA in order to continue in good standing within the chapter.
Do I have to move into the house?
Each chapter has different requirements regarding living at the chapter house. You are strongly urged to consider this option as it promotes the development of leadership skills. Clarkson University provides off-campus Greek housing exemptions to academically eligible students.
What about hazing?
Hazing is not tolerated. It is against Clarkson University policy and against the rules of every national fraternity and sorority. Additionally, New York State has very strict Hazing Laws that consider hazing a misdemeanor or felony.

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board will not be appointing a batting coach for the national team for the upcoming tour to India.
A well-placed source told PTI that it has been decided to postpone the selection and announcement of a batting coach until after the Indian tour, which ends on January 7.
"The board will not be sending a batting coach to India and it has been decided to make the appointment for the South Africa tour that begins in third week of January," the source said.
A number of foreign and local aspirants, including former captains Inzamam-ul-Haq and Zaheer Abbas, have either submitted their CVs for the position or have publicly conveyed their interest
"The selection process for a batting coach is going to take time because we have received CVs of some very strong candidates even from abroad and within the country," the source said.
The biggest problem facing the board is that while the former greats of the country are interested in the job, they don`t have the required qualifications required by the board.
"Inzamam, Zaheer and Salim Malik might be greats but they are not qualified coaches," the source said.
He pointed out that in contrast most of the candidates from abroad met the eligibility rules.
The source said the decision has also been delayed since chairman, Zaka Ashraf, is not hasty while taking important decisions.
"He usually takes his time and this time the choice of candidates is varied," he added.

Shuhei Yoshida Responds, Everything is true except....
Lollollol +1 Shuhei.
It not funny... Yoshida twitter reply to scott sounded really unprofessional and when scott replied backed and brings up a valid point about PS4 eye camera support. Yoshida ignores him and just post a smiley. Yoshida did not handle this situation well and he did not answer the question about support for the PS4 eye. I have a feeling the ps4 eye camera might turn out just like the ps3 camera.
That's nice dear
I mean Scott dosen't even have a clue anyway, look at his last tweet
*** Odd that many are interpreting the PS4 camera story as a dig at Sony. Not at all. But the future of motion control for PS4 IS seemingly grim ***
See that last part "future of motion control is grim"...who cares, most of us don't give a flying f*** about motion control. We should be glad it's just an option with limited support then like Kinect where it's shoved down your throat...IGN should know this but instead Scott makes it seem like it's a bad thing when it's not
How people get good jobs like this baffles me, it really does
Shuhei knows the people at IGN very well. He was just correcting them.
You got no sense of humor whatsoever lol, sad.
it should end up like the PS3 camera, an irrelevant extra. consoles dont need cameras.
Take popular subject, criticise it and praise the opposite. Basic trolling 101.
I will give you one thing tho, you are bloody persistent.
The "journalist" didn't handle the conversation professionally. Yosh said everything was correct but.... Then the so called "journalist" goes on to henpeck about not having strong support for the ps4 camera? Typical tabloid journalist BS. Yes I know IGN is not a tabloid but that doesn't mean the hacks they hire as journalists aren't.
You can hear text? Cool.
don't you guys have a sense of humor?
Sony could have bundled the camera in and still beat MS on price. they would have done a camera bundle and PS4 for 349.99. Considering we already know the camera is 59.99 stand alone.
Do we buy gaming consoles for games or camera's ?
Do we buy camera's to take pictures, or to game ?
People make the biggest deal out of stuff that rarely matters and the stuff that does matter rarely gets talked about.
@ Masterdon
It's very hard to even try and take you seriously with your incessant use of the letter Z and typing "u" as a substitute for "you".
can i ask you this, would you have bought a PS4 if the camera did come bundled with the PS4? Would that have caused you to jump off of MS's boat? I have a feeling your answer is no..
Only real gamers know this is the case. Only fanboys will dismiss the fact that Sony dropped the $100 off because the EYE is not comparable to Kinect as far as funtionality and doesnt constitute the price increase. If the EYE could do motion detection and voice recognition that integrates with the function of the console then you would have seen a $499 PS4
He is friends with a lot of IGN. It was just a joke, but kind of correcting him at the same time. Shuhei is a really fun guy. He is always joking with them over Twitter.
There was no situation, lol, its just a stupid camera and price
Well it doesnt sound particularly promising that was the only thing he could say about the article. I understand that most people here(me included) could care less about the pseye. But in the end its a piece of tech that costs Sony R&D/ marketing money and they have effectively killed it. Just as any other peripheral on any console that is not included on every device
Yeah Sony killed the cam to save the console but Microsoft killed the whole console with it's always-on, always-listening cam ...I prefer Sony's approach and will probably get a camera some day, but I don't want to be forced to buy/use one.
Are you trolling or being sarcastic? Or do you work for Sony's R&D department?
First of all they haven't spent any money marketing it because it hasn't been released yet. Secondly, yes, it's Sony's money, they can spend it on whatever they want. Do you have any idea how much cash these companies are prepared to risk on R&D? That's why it's "research and developement" they already know that every idea won't be making a return.
Sony, who have already spent money developing the device, have decided the camera isn't worth putting in the PS4 box for some reason...but you want them to anyway because we should feel sorry for their investment?
I just don't get it.
Was the PS4 originally going to be released with a camera. The likelihood of that is yes. Smart move by Sony to not add that additional $50 on it's consumers.
I don't think I will ever purchase or have a need for the camera. Didn't get it with my PS2-PS3, never saw the need.
So thank you Sony for not shoving it down my throat.
KwietStorm + 5h ago | Mika Bubble Vote Added
Bubble up for making fun of Mika
Yeah the camera is one thing, i like at how IGN made it look like Sony is hiding something too.. making it look bad. But the reality is that when you compare both the advantages of between the two consoles is that, PS4 you lose the camera, which is not that useful anyway, also having to pick to get a camera or not is good unlike Xbone they actually force you to pick one.
The logic here is that, with the PS4 you have a choice.
Also, the specs between the two, PS4 is on the winning side, and you don't get the headset for the xbone, you have to buy it separately. You gain something, you lose something.
not understanding most of the replies... (the disagrees were obvious because it was a "negative" comment about Sony).
I am not saying Sony that I would prefer the idea of a PSEYE being included on every console, because I could care less about it, the one I got on PS3 I had it for less than a month before I sold it.
Im just stating(just like the article does) that Sony has effectively killed almost every change they had at making the PSEYE succesful. As it has happened with almost any device that is not included with every console (wii motion + adapter, pseye, even kinect sales pale in comparison to the amount of 360s sold). So im just talking about the other side of the coin, while im perfectly happy to just pay $400 and let sony be the one who decides what to do with the device
@Hayabusa 117
I particularly liked your idea that if I find something I dont agree/like about a console I have to be either trolling or sarcastic. I had forgotten that these companies are perfect and never make mistakes...
If I may dust off an old chestnut...
*couldn't care less
It infuriates me how many people get that wrong.
Ir makes no sense putting a light bar tracking device on the PS4 controller, if the PS4 doesn't come bundled with the Eye Camera. Why put that tracking device on ALL controllers, if only a selected few that buy the Eye camera are going to use the technology. That's just wasting money... it's a bad economical business decision.
"I don't think so, Tim."
OT: Thank you for the clarification, Mr Yoshida.
Light bar isn't for the eye. The eye can be used with it but it's primary function is to let players know which controller they are using eg. player one lights up blue etc
At first glance you might be right, but you got to look into things more deeply than that.
For instance, one of the biggest problems with the move was the low adoption rate. No one wanted it and no one supported it (in the grand scheme no one did, I know there are games / exclusives). By building it into the controller, Sony can effectively stop making Move wands (saving money) and will have larger numbers incase other developers want to implement move features.
Personally speaking, I like this choice. I am paying less than the Xbox One and always have the choice to upgrade to the "full experience" for at most $60 dollars. This will give me time to see if there is a need and it won't hurt me if there isn't one.
Personally I don't have a problem with what sony is doing, they are treating it as a peripheral so if you want it then you have the option to get it. This strategy like all peripherals make the future support hit and miss for dev support but hey at least you weren't forced to buy it. On the other hand this is a point of distinction for micro because most games will benefit from the added options that Kinect brings and it will only continue to grow far more rapidly than ps eye compatible games.
Sure we are forced to pay but the cost in the longterm is easily worth it to me when you consider the additional features it adds to not only the basic functionality of X1 but also more immersion ranging from subtle interactions like body leaning in Forza5 +controller or wheel to avoid other cars or even more cool things that I heard on a podcast journalists were talking about a micro engineer who gave a demo of a game where touching your temple in a fps activated your charachters x-ray vision. To each his own but Id enjoy engaging my games in new ways like this.
@fermcr - The light bar has multiple uses, it can be used with the PS4EYE and also as away to tell which players are playing.
@ mika
Lol Mika I respect your enthusiasm , and your solidarity to post your honest to god opinion . I do I truly do , but damn you need to take a breather and stop trolling PS3 and 4 articles .
@Masterdon the reason people are not too keen on MS is because they are seeing what Microsoft is actually like, the whole drm thing pissed of many gamers and when they saw how many people they were losing from their fan base they reversed everything. Make no qualms about it microsoft care only for 1 thing $$$$ if not go and find out how Xbox came to be.
Report this mika fool as spam
As someone who replied to Mika, there should be a bubble named Mika, but I say there should be a bubble named corporate shills, so it would apply to GreenPowerz, JokesOnYou and others.
i find it sad that the people who are complaining about this just because they are forced to use the one on xbox. also complaining about lower price point is stupid.
id rather a system with no camera lower price, then one with camera and higher price.
besides its an option and if i feel like i need one i can buy it later.
ign and those making a big to do about this truly have nothing better to do with their time.
i dont get it mika hates nintendo and is now saying something bad about sony, wtf dudette make up your mind lol
"most of us don't give a flying f*** about motion control"
I guess that's why the Wii failed so hard.
Hey Mika whats it like when 90% if the site thinks you are a troll and disagrees with you?
I see Mika is at it again. This guy posts in PS4 articles more than he does in xbox ones. He is a Playstation fan, he just doesn't know it yet.
I wonder if he pondered using the old 'trout slap' pic at some point prior to posting that.
Most people responding to this article are forgetting that the kinnect support from third party developers will in all likely-hood port over, so as long as sony supports this feature in some form the PSeye will have plenty going on this time around.
Very smart move on Sony's part for letting us make the choice and letting Microsoft take all the risk pushing the peripheral.
How? The only thing he got wrong was camera support with game demos. It was corrected. But if it weren't for Microsoft...the PS4 would have been bundled with a camera.
Oh here we go, a typical MS fanboy trying to make MS look like a hero on an article which is purley about Sony, IGN and the PS4.
***But if it weren't for Microsoft...the PS4 would have been bundled with a camera. ***
You don't know that and I highly doubt that would be the case anyway.
Your nearly as bad as Mika you know
have bundled the camera in the ps4, it would still be cheaper than Xbox360. My question is why is Microsoft system, less powerful, cost more than ps4? Even if you remove Kinect, it shouldn't even be the same price as ps4.
Dunno why people are disagreeing with Muerte^^
He's right. The PS4 camera is priced at £45 so even if you add that on separately it's still only £395. Still £35 cheaper than Xbone.
how u figure that?
ps cameras have never been the focus of a playstation console its treated as a camera that can be used to play games..
MS has made a few E3s about kinect and its part of the console since its needed for it to work...
I respectfully disagree , the reason The Ps4 isn't bundled with all PS4's is because its not a mandatory feature . The PS4 will operate with or without the camera .
@Muerte2494, MS aren't a hardware company.
Kinect 1 cost $150, Kinect 2 is likely costing even more.
M$ camera is more improved then last gen camera. That is the reason why it is more expensive and of course, company wants to make profits too.
The title of page says it! Yoshida confirms and says your mistake was saying no games were using the camera. IGN editor says he corrected it. Heres the article.
It isn't purely about Sony,IGN, and the PS4. It's about the price and Micro including the Kinect and how Sony took their camera out in order to undercut the price.
Disagree all you want...but the article and Yoshida's response is right there. Holy crap...it's all right there.
Unlike Mika..I go after people who post falseness just cause its cool to downplay anything Micro. I don't praise the Xbox much actually...but this is much more fun. To see and article and YOshida confirm what they did and loyalists still act like there's doubt cause it's Sony. Show me where what I said was false.
It would have been 50 dollars cheaper regardless, sheesh give it a rest kid.
So why take the camera out if it were going to be cheaper anyway? No guarantee it still would have been.
Ok...not proving anything. But people jump on Micro for including Kinect and forcing it down our throats. Sony had the same idea and only switched to get a lower price point. They built the controller to function with the camera and now a feature they planned on having from the beginning is gone just to get a lower price point. If you can't see that in the article...oh well.
Yes... they chose not to force a stupid camera down our throats. They thought about it, of course. But they chose not to. They didn't go one way and then flip, they simply made the pro-consumer choice from the start, not AFTER they saw they were failing. There IS a difference there. I'm not sure exactly what your comment is trying to prove wrong.
you're arguing with a brick wall here on N4G. Any use of common sense that doesn't favor a shred of Sony will label you a Xbox fanboy.
In the tweet one person even says:
"Shu, the PS Camera was originally planned to be bundle with the PS4?is that the correct part of the article?"
Which Shuhei Yoshida replies:
"no comment, sorry"
If the PS4 was never intended to include the camera then why say no comment. Just say no, it wasn't.
The PS4 was more than likely was intended to have the camera included which is why they showed off a lot of features for it and the combined controller.
Now they'll have a device that will sit on the store shelf since its not needed and will hardly get supported (maybe?) just like the Move.
What a laugh!
You cant spell IGNorance with out IGN.
I am an avid PS Move gamer and I support the PS Move system because it is fun playing with my nephews
Unlike M$ or Nintendo Sony knows best not to force motion gaming on PlayStation core gamers. Its an optional peripheral and feature as Sony knows not everyone is into motion gaming as core gaming is still heavily grounded on controllers.
For Scott Lowe to say the camera was axed to give the PS4 lower price advantage is pure guess work and uneducated deduction.
The DS4 is not heavily dependent on the PSEye.
"The light-bar doesn't require the camera to function. It's just a different way of identifying the player. In terms of using the LED [as in the Dualshock 3, with] numbers like 1, 2, 3 and 4, it looked a bit odd. The SCEI people wanted some smarter way of doing it, and the use of a full-color LED came up," Yoshida told Edge.
All these make sense.
Scott really got owned.
Sony showed support with PSEye and Move control system with their demo on last Feb PS4 reveal. And I know Media Molecule has something creatively genius with that 3D do-it-yourself- game maker game.
Not because they did not show some demo at E3 is reason enough to say the PS Eye is sacrificed, or abandoned. Sony has spread all their game announcements on all coming major trade shows.
@ you and @maniacmayhem
And based on your argument about Kinect kudos to Sony for letting M$ copy the "Wrong PS4 System" set to be unveiled at E3.
M$ fell 4 it!!!!
M$ has copied the PlayStation for the last time.
@thewb27 & maniacmayhem
You can argue about maybes and possibilities, but I prefer to look at what is.
I have no (read none at anytime ever) interest in motion controls of any kind.
That being said, I like that I have the choice to not buy it for the PS4. Kinect is the sole reason I will never get an Xbox One. If I didn't have to use Kinect, I would get an Xbox One. It's that simple. Something so trivial is what Microsoft is using to completely alienate some of their customers. I know not everyone shares my sentiment. Some people actually enjoy playing an overly simplified tennis match in their living room with their hand and an imaginary ball instead of just going outside. I get it. But I also know that there are people that feel the same way I do. The PS4 accommodates both people. The Xbox One does not. That's what is. The people who want Kinect or don't mind paying an extra $100 for something they may or may not use will buy the Xbox One. It's not that serious. Quit trying to convince people to like everything about the system. Personally, I love everything about the Xbox One...except Kinect. It's a dealbreaker.
If you're saying that Sony did this to undercut Microsoft on price, then thank you Microsoft! You helped make the decision for me.
What are you even talking about?
The camera is priced at $60. The console is $400. Combine them, and you get $460, which is still less than the $500 price tag of the XBOne.
You don't have to be a loyalist or a fanboy to see that. It's just damn common sense.
Or basic math.
Either way, it's pretty freakin simple.
What use of common sense? Does he work at Sony to know that the PSeye isn't included with every PS4 to keep the cost down? Does he have prove of that?
Couldn't have Sony have made market research and get to the conclusion that making the camera optional would make the PS4 more appealing to consumers that don't want to be forced to buy a device that they don't want and they'll never use?
Giving options and not forcing things down our throats, believe it, or not is consumer friendly and that is all the common sense I need.
I suggest you guys watch the damn PS4 reveal and Xbone reveal on youtube and come back here and tell me which one of them is shoving the damn camera feature from the get go?
Market research didn't do it. Microsofts price point did. Ill leave the link for you too.
Yoshida is a president in Sony's entertainment division.
I suggest you read the links too. Last minute scratch. Are you guys really that blind? Yoshida confirms the story that they scrapped it last second to undercut the price. Everyone is reporting it would have been the same price as the X1. If you don't want to believe the president, him confirming the story, IGN, and all these links confirming they scrapped it in order to drop the price...then I'm done debating it. The proof is right there. There's nothing you can tell me that's different from what Yoshida confirms and all these different links say.
@ WB27 The only link that works for me its the 1st and it confirms nothing, its just a rumour.
Your 2nd and 3rd links just lead to the google homepage. Could you please post the correct link?
"According to sources," reads your only real link, as the others are just Google search results.
And that conflicts reports from directly Sony saying they were happy when they heard the XBOne's price, because they knew they had a better one.
It also doesn't make any mathematical sense, as a bundle almost invariably CUTS the price of the total content, rather than raising it.
Please, tell me: what sense does it make to remove a peripheral in order to cut $100 off the price, then sell that peripheral for 3/5 of the difference? Any other such bundle would see the multiple components costing MORE by being sold separately, not less.
Care to explain how this would have been different?
@WB You're argument has MAJOR holes in it.. First of all Sony had NO idea what the price of the XBONE was going to be until the MS E3 press conference.. So for your theory to be sound in reason that means Sony decided in the few hours between MS' presser and their own to drop the Eye from the bundle and have enough time to modify their presentation accordingly? Sounds very far fetched.. Not only that but the EYE is $60 so they were going to undercut the price of the XBONE whether they decided to include it or not... Why couldn't Sony have just decided in the days or weeks leading up to E3 just decide from a marketing standpoint that it made more sense to them to NOT include the EYE in the box? All of this price undercutting stuff is pure speculation and not grounded in facts...

DANBURY, Conn. -- Despite our recent weather, spring is around the corner. To get you ready, we went to Beth HIll, a Danbury-based wellness coach and integrative nutrition health coach.
Here, some tips for getting you out of snow-mode and ready to jump-start the season:
- Spring Clean ... your kitchen cabinets and fridge: Commit to throwing out any food and beverage that has high-fructose corn syrup, corn oil, partially hydrogenated, etc. If you can't pronounce it-- toss it! In fact, aim to only keep products with less than five or six ingredients. This will be challenging at first, but pretty soon you will find yourself reading labels and opting for less processed foods and more natural whole foods.
- Veg Out: If you'd like to add more veggies to your diet but can't tell a kohlrabi from a jicama, spring is a great time to join a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Within weeks, you'll find your life filled with amazing, locally grown fruits and vegetables -- a great opportunity to try those gooseberries you've always been curious about.
- Re-think your Sunscreen: As the weather gets warmer, you'll be encouraged to slather on the skin protection...but do your research - many sunscreens contain far too many chemicals which actually may be doing you more harm than good. Check out the Environmental Working Group ; they have a great app you can download which allows you to scan the labels to find sunscreens with the least chemicals and the most protection.
Meet Hill in person and learn cooking tips at Whole Foods in Fairfield on Tuesday, March 28 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Event info HERE .
