Have uninstalled and re-installed several times -- still not working.
On-lines directions are old and do not apply to MS Word -- (can't copy/past into anything.)
You are definitely correct, Snagit should be able to copy and then have an image that is ready to be pasted into a Word document.
Just to make sure I'm answering the correct question, here is a quick video showing one way to copy and paste from Snagit to Microsoft Word: http://screencast.com/t/UzY1Ja5Fl
Let me know if this is similar to your workflow or if there is a different step that is failing for you.
Thank you and sorry for the trouble with Snagit,
I have been copying and pasting from Snagit for years, but in the last few months, the paste function has been working erratically. I cannot paste into any document or email from Snagit. This happens when trying to paste to Windows applications as well as Google Docs. Sometimes after 5 minutes of trying the item finally copies from Snagit and I can paste; sometimes it doesn't.
Obviously others have this issue. can you please investigate?
Sorry for the trouble with Snagit. Are you using the method shown in my video above or are you copying in another way? Either way is absolutely fine, I just want to make sure we can test the exact case in which you are using Snagit.

I am sorry you are experiencing this frustrating issue! I'll chat with the product team and see if I can get an update on this for you.
I have the same issue and awaiting for a fix.
I'm checking with our support team to see if they have insights can could answer here. I can't find a knowledgebase article, nor am I having success replicating this based on my understanding. There could be a few things happening here. I think it would be best to open a ticket with our support team if you haven't already. https://support.techsmith.com/home They can get diagnostics, share screens and dig to the root of this.
Sorry for the trouble with something as seemingly simple as copy/paste.

Solved with Snagit 12 update. Thanks for the support.
You must go into each Microsoft Office App (Including Outlook) that you want copy/paste to work for correct and disable the blue tooth plugin (comm add-in). I know... strange as hell but it did the trick! See below:
File --> options --> add ins --> comm add ins (near the bottom & click GO) --> delete bluetooth.
You have to do this for every office program and then the clipboard works fine!
So, to clarify... it is not a snag-it issue so to speak. It is another Microsoft bug. Meh... we are used to those! ;-)
This worked for me so far!
an example of my problem:
at a web page, CTRL+C to copy the URL, go to Outlook 2007 and create new email, CTRL-V to paste and NOTHING.
NOTE: someone in one of these comments mentioned that pasting didn't work when opening a new file, but if the destination was already open
So, same as above, but I opened a new email first, went to IE and ctrl+c to copy the URL, go back to the new email to CTRL+V to paste and worked. Tried first method again and didn't work
After disabling Bluetooth, I can copy URL, open new email and paste successfully.
I have tested and confirmed that this works on Outlook, Word and Excel 2007.
And I'm on Win 7 and SnagIt 12.2.2
thank you for this!!
the Snipping Tool is inadequate for what I have to use SnagIt for, unfortunately, otherwise I would skip it altogether. Wish I had a Mac, wouldn't have this issue.
Thank you very much -- that's very interesting -- will try it!
Can you give us a bit more information on your copy / paste issue?
What version are you using?
What are you trying to paste into?
What kind of image are you attempting to paste? SNAG file, saved image file, file with special effects, etc.
If you could be as specific as possible with what is happening, we will try to get you some help.

I sent the snapshots of the overlays that I am receiving in an email to TechSmith, but haven't received a response.
The copy paste is from SnagIt 11 into Word Proff+10. Just a simple copy paste.
I don't have that version so I cannot test it. But, I think there are some things we can try to see if we can pinpoint the trouble. (listed below the image)
Also, as a Word user over the years, I have found they have certain settings they enable by default in various versions. So, it might be good to check out the copy / paste settings in your Options or Settings dialog box. I know specifically for me, the Smart Cut and Paste option has been the cause of paste problems. Maybe disable that feature then try your normal copy/paste to see if things improve.
For my version they are here:
Try these things and see what happens
In Snagit Editor, with your capture open, please try the following scenarios and see if any work:
1. Press Ctrl + A on the keyboard then Ctrl + C on the clipboard. Go to Word and press Ctrl + V to paste the image.
2. In the Tools tab > Styles group box, click the Copy All icon. Go to Word, right-click the page, and choose Paste.
3. Drag a selection in your capture, then in the Tools tab > Styles group box, click the Copy Selection to Clipboard icon. It's the small icon under the scissors icon. Go to Word, right-click the page, and choose Paste.
4. Copy your capture in any of the above methods and try pasting in another Microsoft program like Excel or PowerPoint. Does it work?
User Assistance
All day long, I have been capturing, and then editing in Snagit Editor and then pasting into Powerpoint. Now, out of the blue, the paste action will not work into Powerpoint. I can paste back into Snagit Editor if that is useful information.
As well, the problem is related to the addition or change of image styles. I have been using the torn edge all day. But now if I add a an image style (any style) then I cannot paste. If I do not use a style then I can copy/paste just fine. I can add a shape and then copy/paste fine. But as soon as I add the image style, I can no longer paste.
I have stopped and restarted the Snagit program and still have the problem. As well, I cannot toggle the torn style off once I choose it. Maybe related.
I'm glad things started working for you again.
I wonder if all the copy/pasting you have been doing all day in conjunction with running PowerPoint has caused a bit of memory congestion with your system.
Perhaps save your PPT then close PowerPoint. Do the same for other programs you are running, then open them again. I suspect things should work as expected.
Maybe even do a reboot of your PC.
Thanks for using Snagit!
User Assistance
Apologies for the mixup, however when I paste from Snagit into Safari 11, Chrome 64, Firefox 58, Opera 51, and Vivaldi 1.14, I have no issues with it working.
Are you using any security software or any clipboard utilities (I tried with both Alfred and PhraseExpress on and off and no issues)? How large are the images (in terms of resolution) are you using? When I copied content that was true 1280x720 it was quick, but an image at true 2560x1600 took a solid 5-10 seconds to paste (interestingly, it was the slowest with Chrome, taking closer to 10-12 seconds, likely due to the sheer size of the image)?
Gmail etc. doesn't work also via Safari. No idea what might be the reason if it. I cleaned up my Mac. got updates from Techsmith. Reinstalled the app. I'm experiencing this issue privately (MacBook Air) and at work (also MacBook Pro)
Perhaps I was unclear; I am not experiencing the issue with the aforementioned versions.
The recommendation I have now is to open a support ticket to see if there are any steps that can be taken to mitigate the issue. Note though that the issue likely stems from your Safari app itself, since you can paste into Chrome. It's worth mentioning that Chrome is Google's browser so if they changed something on the back-end (which they do all the time) other browsers will take time to update to accommodate said changes. However where that is rendered moot is that I am able to paste into gmail using Safari 11.
You can open a support ticket here; please be sure to reference this thread in your ticket.
Thanks for posting what worked for you! We appreciate that.

After working a while the problem come - only by rebooting can I get it back.
BUT - it is actually not only in Snagit, but the clipboard in general.
Sad to say - the Snipping Tools works - I would hate to go back to this.
Any suggestions?
This is a pretty old thread....
Have you opened a ticket with support to get help?
What version of Snagit do you have?
Was this working previously and just stopped working? If so, have you installed some other software lately? Have you rebooted your system to see if that helps?
You can open a support ticket instead of posting in the community! We offer free, individual tech support from a team of knowledgeable agents, from 8am-7pm ET (GMT-4) Monday-Friday. Open a ticket at support.techsmith.com or call +1 517 381 2300.

Have a tax question? Need a tax form, filing instructions or an IRS publication? Look to the Internet. The IRS debuted its Web site in January 1996, and it has already been accessed more than 271 million times.
"There are publications available that pertain to homebased businesses, such as publication number 587, Business Use of the Home," says Steven Pyrek at the IRS. "Tax forms for sole proprietors and for claiming expenses for the business use of your home are there, and the Q&A section [is] about homebased businesses."

Home banking is a homebased entrepreneur's dream come true. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you can check balances, transfer money between accounts, see what checks have cleared and monitor corporate credit cards from your office.
"When running a homebased business, you may find yourself working at 11 o'clock at night and wanting to check balances," says John Hall of the American Bankers Association. "With home banking, you can."
New services are always on the horizon. "The killer application in PC-based banking will be when the machine can spit out cash through your home PC like an ATM," says Hall.
If you're considering home banking, shop around for the best deal. Some small and big banks--including Bank of America and Wells Fargo--offer free use of home banking services in combination with other accounts. Some offer it free with minimum balances; others offer free software but charge a monthly fee. Look for the package that works best for you.
Pay Day
The sooner you get paid for your products or services, the sooner you can invest the money. Here are two tips for speeding up the collection of receivables.
Five days before payment is due, call the customer. Ask whether they're happy with the product or service and remind them that payment is due shortly.
"It's an easy way to remind them payment is due," says W. Kelsea Eckert, owner of Eckert Law Firm P.A. in Jacksonville, Florida, and author of Getting Paid In Full (Sourcebooks Inc.). "It works because a happy customer has a harder time ignoring a debt."
Incentives also work well. On your invoice, offer a 2 percent discount if the total is paid within 10 days. Or, for late payments, call and offer a 2 percent discount for immediate payment.
Room Tax
Working at home pays off . . . sometimes. As you've probably discovered, you get a tax break as soon as you open for business because you're allowed to depreciate the portion of your home you use as an office. Well, there's one little catch: When you sell your house, you'll recapture that depreciation and pay tax separately on your home office.
"You have to calculate two separate gains," says James Ferrell, a CPA with accounting firm Chastang, Ferrell, Sims, & Eiserman, P.A. in Winter Park, Florida. "If you use 10 percent of your home for your office, you have to allocate 90 percent of the gain to the personal side of the home and 10 percent to the business."
For example, let's say you bought your home for $120,000. You subtract out the land cost of $20,000, leaving an actual structure cost of $100,000. If you use 10 percent of your home as an office, you can depreciate $10,000 over 39 years, which works out to approximately $256 per year. After three years, you've depreciated the business portion of the house by $768, which gives you a tax basis on the business portion of the house of $11,232 ($12,000, which is 10 percent of the purchase price of your home, minus $768).
You then sell your house for $150,000--$30,000 over the purchase price. Because you took a home office deduction instead of a realized gain of $30,000 on your personal residence, you'll have a realized gain of $27,000 on your residence and a recognized gain of $3,768 ($3,000 plus $768) on your home office.
The $27,000 is a realized gain but not a recognized gain if you purchase another home that is more expensive than the one you sold. Therefore, you can defer the tax on the personal residence portion of the gain. However, the office portion of the gain of $3,768 must be recognized unless you stopped using the space as an office at least one year prior to the sale. In that instance, the total gain can be rolled over and tax-deferred, or if you sell your house for less than the purchase price, no tax will be due.
But if you're going to have to pay that tax when you sell your house, you may wonder if the home office deduction is worth taking. "It's worth it because the name of the game in tax planning is deferral," says Ferrell. "If you can defer a tax liability to a later date, you should."
When you sell your house, you'll have to deal with the home office tax issue; when dealing with taxes, consult with your tax advisor first.
It All Adds Up

Personal finance programs are great for organizing your income and tracking expenses, but they often lack features that many homebased business owners could use, such as invoicing. Now Intuit Inc. has released Quicken Home & Business 98 for Windows ($89.95), a new version of the personal finance program that also delivers easy invoicing, receivables tracking and tax help.
Available for Windows 3.1 and higher, Quicken Home & Business 98 is designed specifically for those whose business and personal finances intermingle, such as consultants and sole proprietors.
Quicken Home & Business includes customizable invoices, which you can personalize by adding your own logo and industry-specific categories. You can also enter invoice information on pre-set client registers; the program then automatically calculates state taxes that need to be applied. Intuit's newest Quicken version offers to make homebased business owners' lives--and businesses--easier to manage.

Is a bubble in Chinese stocks being inflated?
Is a bubble in Chinese stocks being inflated?
A surge in China's A-shares and, more recently, Hong Kong's H-shares has reignited a sense of excitement about the China equity story after five years of lacklustre performance by both markets versus global equities. However, many investors are increasingly concerned about whether this move in the markets is sustainable.
The rally in A-shares started in the third quarter of last year, seemingly due to local investors' expectations for policy easing and a shift in investment appetite away from the slowing Chinese property market into out-of-favour local equities. The launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in November 2014 provided a further sentiment boost with expectations of foreign fund flows to the A-share market.
The bullish sentiment and liquidity onshore then started to spill over into the Hong Kong market from early April. This was mainly driven by both a change in the regulation allowing domestic mutual funds to access Connect and investors' focus on the widening discount of H-shares versus their A-share equivalents. Trading volumes in the Hong Kong market have reached new highs and the broader Hang Seng Index has broken out of its post-crisis trading range in the last month.
How long will this upward move last? What could be a trigger for the bubble to burst? And how are our portfolios positioned against this market backdrop? We attempt to address these questions in our full analysis found below.

I'm talking about all religions and every religion in general. What are your reasons?
Religion and religious persons impose their faith into public policy and politics. Where it clearly doesn't belong.
Religion is still very much mediatory in the schools of nations such as Republic of Ireland, where it has no place. Churches were built for a reason. This makes many members of other faiths and no faiths feel uncomfortable and excluded during a time when young persons find it difficult to fit in as it is. It isn't a matter of talking about religion, but actively telling young persons to practice it mandatory.
Many nations make it difficult for the non-religous to have any sort of successful career in politics (and being honest about their lack of faith at the same time)
Many religious groups impose their views of abortion on others and seek to make abortion illegal. Because of religion in other nations it now is or has been for sometime, outlawed medial practice. Abortion is not murder, murder is the illegal killing of a human being, not a pre-human being.
Religion demonises many educational fields in contrast with its doctrine, such as certain aspects of history and many accepted theories
There have been cases in the United States and some other country where person's have lost their jobs due to lack of faith or alternative faiths and sometimes on the bases of sexual orientation (which is thought to be justified because of certain beliefs)
Religion tries to justify many forms of discrimination including but not limited to, homophobia, sexism, racism and class
Certain nations such as Iran and Uganda take their discrimination justified by religious beliefs a step further by improving atheists and murdering homosexuals
Religion has caused many to rebel against its corruption. While this mostly occurs in changing religions or declaring oneself atheist; that is not always the next direction for some. For some they take that faith and change it for their own purposes, often resulting in more extreme and harmful faith systems mostly regarded as cults. These cults involve all sorts of dangerous acts, such as mass suicide and sometimes violent attacks of non-beleivers of their faith.
Religion has literally caused people to go to war due to the influence of the faith and disagreement with certain policies based on religious beliefs (especially when a doctrine influences such actions)
Views: 3167
In no particular order:
1) Religion was clearly invented to keep certain people down while others prosper.
2) Religion divides people and causes war.
3) Religion fosters hate, bigotry, misogyny, and all kinds of other things that end in 'y'.
4) Religion obstructs progress in scientific advancement and prevents people from seeking out real facts/truths
5) Religion is a tool to justify all manner of heinous and unjust crime against humanity.
6) Religion causes people to waste their entire life studying and trying to live by utter bullshit and to try and push it off on everyone else they come into contact with.
7) Religion causes self-righteous behavior.
8) Religion is 'black and white' in a world of 'grey area'
9) Religion deludes people into false hope of an afterlife so that they devote their entire lives to what may happen after they die.
10) Religion promotes misunderstanding of the real world.
Well said, Amy L!
Politics is and or can be the same monster:
About time.
Take THAT, Religious Right!
I believe they just took a right cross.
Hey Barry - that's a really interesting point. I'm struck by the huge gap, for example, between what Prof Robert says on TA about Roman Catholic theology, and the actual reality on the ground for everyday Christians. He maintains that there's no coercion involved for people to be "good" - and yet many people report being plagued with terrifying nightmares of hell.
Maybe that is the case for Roman Catholicism, but in general there is very little gap between clergy in the protestant sects and the actual reality on the ground for "everyday Christians." I should know, I served in both fashions in the protestant lines of faith - first as a congregant (multiple denominations) and then as a pastor (exclusively Baptist). However, this is because most of the protestant faith place more authority in the members of the local church then they do the central governing body of the larger institution. There maybe a hierarchy, but the decentralized form of power makes the clergy more dependent of the political will of the congregation, and even then that political will is shaped more by the power garnered and manipulated by a few influential people (most of that influence garnered by money and/or deception).
I have heard of and known pastors who change their doctrinal views from seminary and from church to church quite often to fit the desires of the congregants in order to get the job - and not just because their doctrinal beliefs "evolve overtime". And, if they stand up for anything that goes against the will or damages the image of a few powerful oligarchs in the church (such was my case), their career is pretty much history in that particular church or denomination. The fact is that the majority of Christians in America are protestant, and their religious views are extremely tangled into their political views - whether on the left or right of the political spectrum.
Why else do the Republican'ts (no that is not a typo) and Democraps (still not a typo) cater to religious believers? Because the religious are a political force - promoting their religious beliefs into the political system, and spreading the propaganda and revisionist history that the US is a Christian nation, which it is not since the first amendment propagates that it is a nation of religious freedom - which includes freedom from it.
But I digress. The point is that in the protestant sects there is always, and has always been a coercion involved for people to be good. After all, look at the religious history of the US starting with the puritans, and then on further where "spiritual revivals" were nothing more than fire and brimstone services of "get saved or burn forever." Then, in modern terms, there are figures like Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell, and even the beloved Billy Graham, and the most recent phenomena of churches putting on "Hell Houses" during Halloween. Even look at documentaries like Jesus Camp, and you see coercion all over the place.
Simply put, there is hardly any gentle nudging or encouragement to simply "be good for goodness sake" to quote a recent atheist ad campaign in the Washington DC area over Christmas time. Jesus is a good example of being good - at least a number of his teachings, but that is not the emphasis. The emphasis is "you better behave and do as you're told or God is going to scorch you like an ant!"
@Barry - thanks for that explanation. I like Prof Robert, but I thought he was being a bit disingenuous when he said people don't worry about going to hell. It's very interesting about the politics - where do we even start about that. People are able to twist religion to mean whatever they want it to mean. This isn't to say by any means that all religious people do this - I know they don't, and many are very humble and sincere. But since the scope for it is there, people do it. The reason the scope is there is that it's so damned complicated and sprawling and confusing. If it was simple and to the point, there wouldn't be so much room for using it to back up pre-existing beliefs. It's also distressing that too often, religion as it's practiced prevents people from being happy. This is not how things should be.
There are churches which are getting it "right" when approaching topics of faith, but there are a very large number of that throw Hell in your face any chance they get to scare you into belief. The last pastor I worked for was very much a "turn or burn" theist, even though the entire time he was selling me to come work for his church he claimed he was not. I obviously later found out, among other serious moral and character concerns, that he was a very good liar.
I had a conversation with a congregation member who lamented to me that the senior pastor always had to throw Scripture in your face when you were coming to him for counsel on difficult life issues. He also told me that the pastor's only interest in meeting people was to sell them on church, and that if you weren't on board he'd find a way to make you feel guilty by using the "turn or burn" argument. The pastor once told the congregation member's brother who opened up about a troubled relationship with his son - a relationship the brother desperately wanted to heal - that his son was going to hell because the son was not living a "Biblical" life. The pastor then threw the angle in that the only way to prevent that was for them to come to church. I nearly fell out of my chair in disgust over the pastor's behavior.
The only good news is that the brother of the congregation member didn't fall for it.
@Barry - yes, I think intelligence and wisdom are required. Jesus would be ashamed of all the crap that gets said in his name, but he can't/couldn't control what people do now. I do think he slipped up by making his points too cryptic sometimes - expecting people to do a little work in order to understand them, when that's unrealistic. People need the teaching ready-made and spelled out. Making the meaning one remove from the message just means it's removed from common understanding. Making it plain and up-front makes it much more effective. Willful misunderstanding and egotism are always problems which need to be minimised.
Ahh, but therein lies the problem. If the teachings were not cryptic and were instead spelled out in ready-made fashion, people would lose the ability to think and perceive beyond what they are told. In effect, you would just have robots incapable of thinking on their own, and it would only feed into the vicious cycle of what we know religion to already be.
The reason why the Christian religion is exactly what it is today, and what it was long after the death of Jesus (especially when it became state sponsored), is because of the church "spelling it out" for people. In effect, this is nothing more than spoon feeding people what they are to believe and what they are not to believe, and to never question what they are told to believe - and if you did, the penalty would be torture and the threat of Hell fire. This is why religion has such a bad reputation among people like you, and why people like me were seen as threatening to the church. Because we actually require humanity to think, to feel, and to use the brain that they possess as a human being.
Authorities do not want you to think, they want you to be sheep. Jesus did not want this. He wanted you to think, and a number of his teachings - especially the cryptic parables - are designed to do that. This is why he was a dangerous man to the authorities of his day.

Daily Slice: Veggie Pie from Corropolese Bakery in Norristown, PA
A different slice profiled each day.
Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
While Corropolese is best known for their sweet sauce, thick crust Norristown / Philadelphia-style tomato pie, like many of these bakeries they serve square, cold pies in all sorts of configurations, and room temp white pizza is something I've really grown to love from these types of places.
Corropolese veggie pie is one of the best—brightly topped with sliced tomatoes, broccoli, garlic, and mozzarella. The crust doesn't get sauce-logged and doughy like a heavily sauced tomato pie, but has enough oil to keep it from being bland or dry. Like their tomato pies, the veggie isn't baked long enough to really caramelize anything, so the vegetables stay fresh and the crust soft with a slight chew. Another one that I definitely prefer right out of the box instead of warmed up in the oven.

Just wrap your head around this: So the guy who has been appointed the general of the Republican Party's reelection campaign for the House in 2014 might now himself face a primary!
Greg Walden is a congressman from Oregon. He is in a pretty safe district, but not overwhelmingly conservative; it's R +10 on the Charlie Cook scale. That means it's pretty reliably Republican but could be captured by the Democrats in a tsumani-type election.
So it wasn't that shocking that Walden criticized Obama's chained CPI Social Security proposal as being anti-old people. But there's another, bigger reason it wasn't surprising, which is that I and others have fully expected that Republicans would run next fall accusing Obama of wanting to cut Social Security. As I've noted earlier, this would constitute some pretty serious hypocrisy on their part, since they want bigger cuts, but that hasn't stopped them before. They proposed big cuts to Medicare in 2010 (Paul Ryan's first "roadmap") and then ran that very fall denouncing Obama's Medicare cuts.
So I'd have thought that Walden was doing the right, cynical thing. But no. John Boehner gave him a little public lashing. And yesterday came the Club for Growth to announce that it's going to try to find someone to run against him in a primary, someone more in line with the Club's priorities of shifting more of national burden from the top 1 percent to old people.
It's going to be pretty hard now for Republicans to employ the strategy I have suspected they want to employ. We'll see. If I'm correct this will have the effect of letting Obama get away with proposing these cuts without suffering much political damage; after all, if the Republicans want even more cuts, how can they make Obama look bad? (By the way, I wrote the other day that Obama was the first Democratic president to propose cuts to Social Security; not true. Carter and Clinton each got small cuts in the program, but nothing that directly cut benefit amounts to seniors.)
In more general terms, though, the chained CPI gambit is not playing out so well for Obama, either. Nancy Pelosi has refused to endorse it, and lots of Hill Democrats are going to be against it. This is triangulation, except that in this case most of the public is against Obama. David Brooks applauds Obama's proposal today because it shows that "he understands that politics can only work if the president transcends his base and builds a majority coalition." Uh, but what about the fact that two-thirds of the people are against this?
I am on the road today. A column will appear as usual tomorrow morning, and I think it's a particularly spicy one, so do check in. And enjoy the Masters, if that's your thing. Would love to see Sergio win one.

Personal Comments from Customers
I take the occasion to tell you that your service is great and I am very happy with it. It feels like it's being made professionally by people with passion (which is rare nowadays).
I placed my first order with The Knife Center/Internet on Tuesday 7/15. We had a brief email exchange on that day as well. The Spyderco knife I ordered as a result of your advice arrived at my home on Wednesday 7/16. It is a beautiful marriage of form and function and I am very pleased with it. Both the product and the service were excellent and I will be ordering from you again. In these days when shoddy service and lackluster performance seem to be accepted norms, it is truly refreshing to encounter a company that exceeds expectations. Thank you very much
Dear KCI... For several years now, I have been consistently impressed with your quite personable, " can do - no sweat " attitude !! You have repeatedly gone out of your way to find the rare, limited edition, out of production items while never breaking stride, and on several occasions have gone directly to the mfgr on my behalf. I have been collecting knives, firearms and militaria for decades, and I have never found a more helpful, courteous and knowledgable group than the good folks at KCI. Mr. Korn and staff set the bar high for quality of service, competitive pricing, complete lines of products and knowledge of the items you sale as well as the market. You have much to be proud of, and I look forward to a continuing relationship with an honest and professional company who cares for its clients and strives for excellence. Thank you for being in that rare class of providers who make your clients look forward to the next transaction. I actually prefer buying on the phone, as it is like a short visit with a friend rather than a business transaction. Respectfully, Jerry -Jerry
I want to compliment you and your organization for offering such a wonderful product catalog. The manner in which the products are presented, the photos, the reviews, the links, all done in the best way I've seen done anywhere on the internet. My thanks and appreciation for a super experience.
Dear KCI:
I recently ordered a Benchmade Sentinel from your company. Your representative was very professional, helpful and courteous. I have read positive things about KCI and now I have first hand knowledge to back up those claims. BTW, I love my Sentinel!
Thanks again.
The Knife Center of the Internet is the most comprehensive catalog of cutlery that I have ever seen. I have been collecting functional and show knives for over nine years, and the Knife Center meets all of my collectors needs. I never need to order another catalog!
My compliments for exceptional service. I was surprised to receive the knife I ordered last week in yesterday's mail. Not sure how you worked it with the post office. I promise to let the folks I work with know about your company. Again thank you!
Fantastic web site, and super fast, too! You have a heck of a selection and a heck of a web site manager. Thanks for the enjoyment, I will order for you.
Amazing. As a collector I really recommend this page as a starting place if someone is interested in knives or swords. This is simply the only good place to get proper information about cold steel blades ! Go and see !
Hi, I visited America 6 times.I've been always seeking knife shop and spents toil and trouble until I find out KnifeCenter.I decide to buy knife that I'll buy in future from knifeCenter. Because KnifeCenter have a many kinds of maker and guides special products.For instanse, boker's black-blade cannot find in Japan and California sports shop that I visited.Only KnifeCenter guides me to boker special product.Fathermore,cost is cheaper than the other Japan shop.To think traffic cost and time,I choose KnifeCenter at first even if I are in US!
My order arrived in fours days! Outstanding service and the selecttion of knives exceeds that of all the mail-order knife companies with whom I am am familiar. The Gerber Multi-lock may be the best multi-tool that I have used. The SOG small Jet Edge is much lighter in weight that thought it would be, excellent!
I've just received my order I placed through The Knife Center and was quite pleased. I ordered a Case knife and Lansky sharpener.There were many things I was pleased with.The prices were by far the best I could find.I went to many knife shops in my community and none matched your prices. I also didn't have to hassle with salespeople telling me what I needed or didn't need. You had all the information I needed to purchase a good product .It was also the easiest purchased I've ever made.In fact I can't think of any complaints only that I wish I could afford to buy more stuff.Delivery of my products only took 10 days,thats much more reasonable than 6-8 weeks other orders take.I've passed the word around to my friends.I look forward to future purchases.
I NEVER comment on a web page, but this was so well laid-out that I had to say something! Everything seems to arranged to perfection with the customers ease of use in mind. Kudos for such a great site!
I just want to thank you for my recent purchase of a Cold Steel Bird and Trout knife. I use this knife so much that when I lost mine on a Saturday I ordered a new one on Monday night and you delivered it on Wednesday! From Maryland to Wisconsin via USPS Priority Mail. To say the least I am shocked. I am going on a fishing trip in a week and I expected the knife to arrive just in time. Never would I have believed I would have it in less than 48 hours! Every Christmas I give knives to all my friends and family whether they are kitchen knives, pocket knives or hunting knives, and I gurantee I will ONLY buy them from the Knife Center. Thank you for your great service and selection!
An excellent source for information. Not only are your prices extremely competative, but the explanations, pictures, details and reviews are very helpful. When I started looking for a replacement knife, I had no idea of the current state of the knifemakers art. Your homepage gave the the specific information I needed to make an educated decision. Thank you.
These and other like comments really make the cutlery business on the web a very worthwhile pursuit. Thanks to all!

Good day fellow Torque users!
The team at Incendiactive has been working for a whopping three years on our MMORPG Shadow Sovereignty, and we've overhauled it so many times we've simply decided to do it from scratch at version 0.0.1. After having carefully watched the development of the Torque 3D engine and the community standing, we are fairly comfortable deciding to remain with this engine.
Let's get down to brass tacks:
What help do we need? We are in dire need of 3D modelers, concept artists, and other artists. We have enough of an environment within the engine working that we aren't as direly in need of programmers, but they are also warmly welcome.
What help don't we need? At this time, we do not need any music artists, we have a composer who is awesome and gets the job done very well whose work we know players will love when the time comes.
What if I can't do ... Anyone and everyone is welcome to apply for alpha testing and submit story ideas. I will update the site and this post with links as I complete them.
Where can I learn more?
This link leads to our official Indie DB page. We haven't updated much there lately as we've been completely overhauling the game. In fact, most of the informational pictures and examples there are outdated for the time being. I am not entirely sure why some people are unable to access our website, it likely has to do with our free site host. As we are currently 100% non-funded that's just something we have to deal with until we either get a little funding or find someone who is willing to host our site for us. As a web developer I know the struggle it can be so thus why I'm kind of watching prices carefully and waiting to actually get a different host.
... erm, nothing yet. The reason being we've gone through so many overhauls and have had so many team members come and go we haven't had the project stay the same look enough for a video to be a fair representation.
I still have questions!
Shoot me a PM here on the forums or send a tweet to sovereignMMO and I'll get back to you as soon as possible; OR, feel free to pop your questions below as a reply to this post!
I want to help!
Awesome! Fantastic! Bien! Just shoot me a PM here on the forums and I'll provide you my email address to get in touch and discuss more.
Thanks for your time and interest!

Seattle Mariners beat Baltimore Orioles 6-2
Send a link to a friend
[April 30, 2013]
(AP) -- Michael Saunders homered in his first at-bat since he was activated from the disabled list and Joe Saunders pitched his eighth career complete game to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 6-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in front of the smallest crowd ever at Safeco Field on Monday night.
Kyle Seager had a two-run triple and Jason Bay added three hits as the Mariners won their third straight game for their longest winning streak of the season. Their latest victory came in front of announced total of 9,818 at the 14-year-old ballpark.
Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer for Baltimore. Zach Britton (0-1) gave up six runs and 10 hits over six innings in his first start of the season after being called up from Triple-A Norfolk.
Joe Saunders (2-3) gave up his first earned run at Safeco Field this season in his third home start, but went the distance for the first time since April 27, 2012. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out two while improving to 8-0 at the Mariners' longtime home.
Britton got into trouble after a strange sequence in the sixth. After Justin Smoak singled to start the inning, umpire Alan Porter made a hard throw to give Britton the new ball and it hit the left-hander on his throwing shoulder. Britton was briefly shaken up, and when he returned to the mound it didn't get any better.
Bay followed with his third hit of the game and, after Robert Andino's sacrifice, Brendan Ryan hit an RBI single. It looked as if Britton might get out of the inning when Michael Saunders hit a weak broken-bat grounder to second base, but the ball was too slow for the Orioles to turn the double play, and Seager followed with his triple.
[to top of second column]
Saunders had sprained his right shoulder on April 10 when he crashed into the fence while making a catch and was activated before the game. He sent Britton's second pitch into the right-center field seats for his first career leadoff home run, a sweet moment after having to sit and watch for nearly three weeks.
"It was tough," Saunders said before the game. "The hardest thing about being on the DL is being in the dugout or being in the training room and watching the guys play. You want nothing more than to be out there trying to help the club."
The Orioles led 2-1 after Wieters' drive to left in the fourth inning, but Seattle quickly moved back out in front in the bottom half on Bay's RBI double and Andino's run-scoring single.
NOTES: Orioles RHP prospect Dylan Bundy, the fourth overall selection in the 2011 amateur draft, received a platelet rich plasma injection on Monday and will rest for six weeks. Bundy has what manager Buck Showalter termed a flexor mass, which caused pain in his forearm and elbow. "We're just going to take a conservative approach and get it resolved," Showalter said. "We look forward to him getting going in six weeks." ... Showalter said the Orioles may activate C Chris Snyder on Tuesday. Snyder was acquired in a trade from the Angels after backup C Taylor Teagarden was placed on the DL on Sunday. ... Seattle optioned OF Carlos Peguero to Triple-A Tacoma to make room for Michael Saunders.

The first three posts in this series focused primarily on our target couple, Roy and Hattie (James) Teague. Today, we're going to try to reconstruct their family with the records available to us.
First, let's summarize what we know about Roy's children.
- The 1930 US census gives us the names of three children, who we know to be Roy's because they are named as such, and who Hattie was probably the mother of, given Roy and Hattie's marriage date.1 In order of birth, they are:
- Susie J. Teague
- Clifford J. Teague
- Claud R. Teague
- Roy's obituary gave the names and residences of six children:2
- Jack Teague of Clarkston, Michigan
- Ray Teague of Pontiac, Michigan
- Dewey Teague of Titusville, Florida
- Mrs. Roosevelt Coffey of Clayton, GA
- Mrs. Red Dixon of Clayton, GA
- Mrs. Sherman Martindale of Van Buren, Arkansas
- Additionally, a Paul C. Teague was buried between Roy and his brother Louie at Pickett Cemetery.3 Paul died in 1967, and so if he were Roy's son, he would not have been mentioned in Roy's 1969 obituary, which mentioned only surviving relatives.4 However, it is also possible that he was Louie's son, or in some other way related to the family.
Roy's obituary frustratingly obfuscates his daughters' names by referring to them by their husbands' names, a common practice until recently. So while we know he had at least three daughters, one of whom was named Susie J., we don't know which daughter married what man, even for the one daughter whose name we know. We can tentatively hypothesize that two of the sons mentioned in Roy's obituary, Jack and Ray, were the two sons enumerated with him in 1930 (respectively, Clifford J. and Claud R.), but there's no way to be certain of this from the information at hand.
To determine how many children Roy might have had, with Hattie or otherwise, and what their names were, we revisit the Vital Statistics Index held at the Probate Judge's office in Clayton, GA. On the 5th page of the "T" surnames, listing births, we find an entry for Paul Chester Teague who shares the same birth date as the young man buried next to Roy Teague in Pickett Cemetery; the index gives his father's name as "Roy Sibley Teague." At the bottom of the page are two entries for daughters of "Roy Stribling Teague", Jane Teague and Jean Teague (apparently twins as they share the same birth date). On the 7th page of the "T" surnames, listing births, are six entries for children of "Roy S. Teague", all filed on the same day; in birth order, the children were: Susie Janettie Teague, Clifford Jackson Teague, Claude Ray Teague, Dewey Clint Teague, Jean Kausa Teague, and Laura Jane Teague.5
Interestingly, the Jane and Jean listed on the 7th page have a different birth year than the Jane and Jean listed on the 5th page and, in fact, the entries on the 7th page show that they were not born in the same year. Which entries should be believed? The entries on the 5th page were filed in the Probate office about three months after the date shown for these girls' births, whereas the entries on the 7th page were filed six years later. The general rule of thumb is to go with the record created closest to the event, but in this case there's a small problem with the earlier entries: They were written into the record after Paul's birth in 1937, several years after their listed birth year. Since they were entered into the official record at such a late date, and because of the confusion created by the different years listed, the earlier entries can truthfully carry no greater weight than the entries made two years later. We would need to verify Jane and Jean's birth dates against other records before saying for certain in what year or years they were born.6
At the moment we have the names of seven children, all attributed to Roy Sibley or Stribling Teague, but we still have no idea if Hattie was the mother of three or all, nor do we know which daughter married which son-in-law. To determine this, we turn to the one child who we can follow from cradle to grave: Paul Chester Teague.
According to his tombstone, Paul C. Teague died 13 June 1967.7 His obituary was easy enough to find; it was published in the 22 June 1967 issue of The Clayton Tribune.8 Paul's obituary gives his full name (Paul Chester Teague), his birth date, his residence at the time of his death (Warner Robins, GA), a general cause of death, and his occupation (electrician in the US Air Force). Survivors included his parents, "Roy S. and Hattie T. Watkins" of Clayton; his widow, Mrs. Marjorie Hicks Teague; a daughter; and his siblings: Jack Teague of Clarkston, Michigan, Ray Teague of Pontiac, Michigan, Dewey Teague of Jeffersonville, Indiana, Mrs. Roosevelt Coffey and Mrs. Red Dixon of Clayton, and Mrs. Sherman Martindale of Ft. Smith, Arkansas; an aunt, Mrs. "Fay" Barron "with whom he lived"; and "several other aunts." Funeral services were held at Battle Branch Baptist Church with the **Revs. Tom Jones and Waymon Lunsford**, and Layman Lloyd Hunter officiating. Burial was at Pickett Cemetery. There was also a notation about the R. E. Cannon Funeral Home holding the body until the service.
There are several important items we can learn from this obituary:
- Roy and Hattie were both living at the time of Paul's death in 1967. Hattie had apparently remarried to an unknown Watkins between his birth in 1937 and his death in 1967. *Rabun County's marriage records may hold the name of her husband and their date of marriage, which would give us a starting date to search for records of Roy and Hattie's separation.*
- Paul's siblings were given in the same order in his obituary as in his father's obituary two years later. This could indicate a rough birth order, which means we can tentatively match the daughters to their husbands based on their age and the order listed in the obituaries. *We still need to find marriage and other records to support this conclusion.*
- There's an awful lot of personal detail in this obituary about the deceased, including his length of service with the US Air Force (12 years). *If we're interested in learning more about Paul, then this tidbit allows us to calculate dates of service, which may allow us to find or otherwise request information about this period of Paul's life based on his time in the Air Force.*
- One surprising tidbit is that Paul's brother, Dewey, was living in Indiana at the time of Paul's death; two years later, when their father died, Dewey was living in Titusville, Florida. Their sister, Mrs. Sherman Martindale, also had a different residence in the two years, albeit both in Arkansas. *The residences for all the children help track their movements through time, and give additional localities in which to search for information on these siblings.*
- If Paul was, indeed, the youngest child (there are still some discrepencies we must resolve before labeling him definitively as such), and Hattie was his mother as his obituary claims, then Hattie was probably the mother of all 7 of Roy's known children. *Learning more about Hattie can help determine the veracity of this conclusion.*
- The link between Paul and his aunt Faye (Teague) Barron as mentioned in Paul's obituary adds considerable weight to the conclusion we've drawn that the records examined to date (1930 US census entry, 1969 obituary, 1924 marriage license, Pickett Cemetery grave markers) were made for, about, or by one Roy Teague.
- *Additionally, we now have the name of a church where records on this family might be held.*
While Paul's obituary adds a great deal of positive support and verification of the connections we've made between these individuals, it still does not tell us which sister married which man. There are three records or records sets we can use to help determine this: Marriage records (fairly obvious); Hattie's obituary, an unwise choice at this point in our research since we don't know her date and place of death; and records from the probation of Roy's estate, which I deliberately did not mention during our discussion of his obituary and tombstone.9 I decided to focus on the latter of these three records sets first, since estate records could potentially mention all three daughters at once, whereas marriage records are generally pertinent to only one at a time, thereby necessitating three different searches through the same volumes of records.
There are many different documents which could potentially be created and recorded during the probation of a person's estate. Most researchers (especially those in their first few years pursuing their ancestry) tend to focus solely on wills, but they are not the only estate record available to genealogists, nor are they necessarily the most useful. In fact, when a person of considerable property died intestate (that is, without a will), the records created by the administration of his or her estate often contain more usable and sometimes better information than a will alone would.
Potentially, several records could have been created while Roy's family probated his estate. But where would these records be located? Normally, one could expect the deceased's family to begin this process not necessarily in the locality where the person died, but in the place where he or she lived at the time of his or her death (in modern times especially this could be two different places). These records may also be found in other localities if the deceased owned property there. In Roy's case, he was born in Rabun County, had lived there for the better part of his life, and he probably owned property there at some point. The Probate Court of Rabun County would then be the best place to begin a search for estate records.
The first volume of records I decided to search was Rabun County's Records of Wills E, which covers the years 1960 through 1970; no Teague was located in the volume's index.10 Because Roy died in 1969, very close to the end of that volume's era of coverage, I decided to check the next volume of wills, in case the family decided to delay probating his estate for some reason. Record of Wills F, covering 1970 through 1976, also had no Teagues listed in the index.11 I achieved similar results with Inventory and Appraisements 2 (1927 – 1979), Minutes 8 (1962 – 1971), and Minutes 9 (1971 – 1980): the indexes for these volumes contained no references to Teagues.12 The Ordinary Docket volumes were missing from 1937 to 1974. These were the only volumes I could find covering Rabun County's estate records for the time period around Roy's death.
One might conclude from this initial lack that Roy had owned no property at the time of his death and, therefore, there was no need for his family to probate his estate through the local court system. This conclusion would be premature, however, since:
- I relied only on the indexes instead of reading the appropriate sections of each volume of records;
- The Probate Court maintains folders containing loose items for those whose estates were probated during this time period;
- There are other records which might hold information on this family, including land records.
Additionally, there are other ways to tackle this lack of records, including pursuing research on Hattie, the putative mother of Roy's children. Given the choice between a page-by-page read of the appropriate volumes of estate records (time consuming), trying to gain access to the loose probate folders (unlikely to be successful, since the local Probate Court restricts those files to court officials), tracking down other records, and turning the focus to Hattie, I chose the latter. * Nonetheless, we should still place the three temporarily discarded options on our to-do list for future reference, because all three items will eventually need to be done. *
* If this were my family, now would also be a good time to re-interview older family members to see if anything found to date might jog someone's memory. In particular, I would ask if anyone remembers Roy and Hattie's children (naming them specifically and including the names of spouses) or grandchildren, and if anyone keeps in touch with any of these family members, with the intention of trying to track down modern generations who may have access to information I don't. *
Today's post demonstrates, in a very simple way, how research can lead to what seems like a dead end (in this case, the dead end is trying to figure out which of Roy and Hattie's daughters married which son-in-law). The next post will show one way to overcome the problems we encountered today. Until then, happy hunting!

4. It is important to remember that an obituary may not name all members of a family, even when both surviving and deceased members are mentioned. There could be several reasons for such an omission, including an error on the part of the newspaper, the forgetful mind of the grieving relative who gave the newspaper the names of the deceased's relatives, and the estrangement of the deceased and other family members.
5. Because some of these individuals may still be living, their exact birth dates are omitted here. Vital Statistics Index A Rabun County: 5th and 7th pages, T section; Probate Court, Clayton, Georgia.
6. There's a small possibility that the Jane and Jean listed on the 5th page were twins who died as infants or toddlers, and that the Jane and Jean mentioned on the 7th page were their siblings, born at a later date and named after the hypothetically deceased twins. There are two reasons why I have discounted this hypothesis: First, all four women share the exact same day and month of birth, and the chances of this happening with four siblings in three different years (one year for the "twins", and in two other years for the other two siblings) would be extremely low. Second, there were no corresponding deaths listed in the Vital Statistics Index. This doesn't mean the hypothesis might not be a reality, only that it's a very low possibility and that it should be verified or discarded based on an accumulation of evidence from other sources.

The debugger says it is attempting to access a null pointer.
The Call Stack doesn't reference any of my code, and I have not added any new threads or components to the project for quite a while. This just started happening a couple of weeks ago and only happens, seemingly at random, about once or twice a week when I'm full-on coding.
Anyone know what could be causing this? Or the best way to try to debug?

About 2000 people from Europe (and some from Africa, Asia, America, etc.) come together in a natural environment to practice 8 days of Kundalini Yoga and other activities related to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, including 3 days of White Tantric Yoga®. They enjoy a special diet, many inspiring workshops by international teachers, and lots of song, dance and fun.
Each year the European Yoga Festival highlights a specific aspect of yoga, but it also provides special attention to newcomers who have little or no experience of yoga practice.
The Yoga Festival is a lot of fun, but also presents a challenge. The optimum purifying and transforming effects will happen if you allow yourself to remain on the diet and stay in the energy of the site for the whole eight days. It is also important for your spirit to take part in the Karma Yoga, the selfless service, which is the foundation of the festival.

DETROIT – The man who pleaded guilty to killing Grosse Pointe Park mother Jane Bashara has been sentenced to 17- 28 years in prison.
Gentz, who was the Bashara family handyman, took a deal and pleaded guilty to second degree murder for his role in Jane Bashara's death.
At his sentencing Tuesday, he said he was "very sorry" for what had happened and asked for forgiveness.
He maintains that Jane's husband, Bob Bashara, promised to pay him for killing his wife.
Wayne County Judge Vonda Evans told Gentz that despite his "limited mental ability," he knew right from wrong and good from bad.
"You had the power of life and death," she said. "Did you ever think, 'This is wrong?' Did you ever think to spare her?"
Jane Bashara's sister, Julie Rowe, spoke before Gentz's sentencing and said the death had completely "devastated" her family.
"Jane was viciously taken from us," Rowe said. "Her children have been robbed."
She also said her family doesn't think the case closes with Gentz's prison sentence.
"Mr. Gentz had no motive to murder our sister Jane. And we believe his statement that he was coerced into murdering her," Rowe said.
--Julie Rowe
Jan. 25, 2012
Jane's body was discovered the day after her husband had called police to say she'd gone missing.
Her body was in her Mercedes SUV that was found on Detroit's east side.
Days later, Grosse Pointe Park police named Bob as a person of interest in his wife's death -- but he's never been charged in connection with it.
Special Section: Grosse Pointe Park murder case
Bob Bashara tried to kill Gentz
Bashara has been sentenced to 80 to 240 months in prison for trying to hire somebody to kill Gentz in jail.
During his sentencing Bashara said he is "truly and humbly sorry" for hiring a hit man to kill Gentz.
"What I did was inexcusable. I have no one to blame but myself," the Grosse Pointe Park man told the court. "But I understand fully what I did was a crime and something that I will regret for the rest of my life."

Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) specialist Nvidia has been vocal on the subject of the Kepler architecture-based Nvidia Tesla K20 GPU, which the company predicted would be the highest performance processor the HPC industry has ever seen when it was unveiled in May.
The firm's senior devtech engineer Peter Messmer has reported that recent performance tests on real-world scientific applications show that the forthcoming GPU surpasses expectations. He also says that he's thrilled about Kepler's new Hyper-Q feature, which is designed to increase performance for what the company notes as "thousands of legacy MPI applications", without requiring a major code rewrite.
NOTE: Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standardized and portable message-passing system designed by a group of researchers from academia and industry to function on a wide variety of parallel computers. The standard defines the syntax and semantics of a core of library routines useful to a wide range of users writing portable message-passing programs in Fortran 77 or the C programming language. Several well-tested and efficient implementations of MPI include some that are free and in the public domain. These fostered the development of a parallel software industry, and there encouraged development of portable and scalable large-scale parallel applications.
To illustrate the power of Hyper-Q, Messmer says that he picked a traditionally difficult code for GPUs called CP2K, a popular MPI-based molecular simulations code. Hyper-Q maximizes GPU utilization for the CP2K application, resulting in more than double the performance compared to running the same code without it.
How Hyper-Q Works
Messmer writes, "A GPU consists of multiple CUDA cores grouped into streaming multiprocessors operating in parallel. A hardware unit called the CUDA Work Distributor (CWD) is responsible for assigning work to the individual multiprocessors."
"In the current Fermi architecture, the CWD has a single connection to the host CPU, and work from different MPI processes is merged into this single queue. This serialization could easily lead to false dependencies among work from different MPI processes, limiting the amount of work that can be executed concurrently on the GPU. This often results in an under-utilized GPU."
"Hyper-Q removes this limitation. As shown in the graphic, the new Kepler-based Tesla K20 GPU provides 32 work queues between the host and the GPU, enabling multiple MPI processes to run concurrently on the GPU. Each MPI process can be assigned to a different hardware work queue, maximizing GPU utilization and increasing overall performance."
The suggestion here is that while MPI developers will be thrilled with the added performance, they'll be equally enamored with how Hyper-Q makes porting legacy MPI codes to the GPU significantly easier.
Nvidia explains that legacy MPI-based codes were often created to run on multicore CPU systems, with the amount of work assigned to each MPI process scaled accordingly. However, this often meant that MPI processes didn't generate enough work to fully occupy the GPU. To make the code launch enough work to fully utilize the GPU, developers frequently were required to modify their code significantly.
Hyper-Q now claims to recode efforts considerably because developers can now throw many MPI processes with small- and medium-size workloads at a shared GPU.
"Developers no longer need to modify their codes to put enough work into a single MPI process. Rather, they can send up to 32 MPI processes with variable workloads to the GPU and just let the GPU do all the heavy lifting to maximize performance," said Nvidia's Messmer.

Natural Hazards, UnNatural Disasters: The Economics of Effective Prevention
(World Bank, United Nations, 2010)
The report by the United Nations and World Bank, stresses the need for prevention to reduce countries' vulnerability to natural hazards in order to enable their sustainable and cost-effective development. It outlines a number of measures to prevent death and destruction from natural hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes and flooding and estimates annual global losses from natural disasters could triple to US$185 billion by the end of this century, without calculating the impact of climate change. One area in which the report calls for more spending is early warning systems, particularly weather forecasting. It also urges governments to ensure that new infrastructure does not introduce new risk, including by locating infrastructure out of harm's way. [The report]
Marine Biodiversity Assessment and Outlook: Global Synthesis
(UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Seas, October 2010)
This publication provides the first systematic overview at a sub-global scale of the state of knowledge of marine biodiversity, the pressures it currently faces and the management frameworks in place for addressing those pressures. It highlights that marine biodiversity faces increasing pressures in all regions from land sourced pollution, ship sourced pollution and impacts of fishing. The report further shows that these pressures are serious and generally increasing despite measures in place to address them, and that they are amplified by predicted impacts of ocean warming, acidification and habitat change arising from climate and atmospheric change. The report warns that, without significant management intervention, marine biological diversity is likely to deteriorate substantially in the next 20 years, with growing consequences for resources and physical security of coastal nations.

Mainstreaming the Economics of Nature: A synthesis of the approach, conclusions and recommendations of TEEB
(The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), October 2010)
Compiling and summarizing two years of work carried out by over 500 researchers, the TEEB synthesis report calls for wider recognition of nature's contribution to human livelihoods, health, security, and culture by decision makers. It documents the multi-trillion dollar annual contribution of the natural world to the global economy, and formulates recommendations for policies and mechanisms that can help better account for, and protect, this contribution. The report approaches the challenge of bringing biodiversity to the political fore by focusing on making nature's values visible, and approaches this in three steps: recognizing ecosystems' value so as to understand what is at stake; demonstrating natural value in economic terms to support decision making; and capturing value by introducing mechanisms to incorporate this value into decision making at all political and non-political levels.

Blue Harvest: Inland Fisheries as an Ecosystem Service
(UNEP and World Fish Centre, October 2010)
This report aims to help inform future approaches to conservation and management of freshwater ecosystems by reviewing the importance of inland fisheries as an ecosystem service, the pressures upon them, and management approaches to sustain them. The report identifies the various drivers of change in inland fisheries, including climate change. In particular, it spotlights changes in runoff patterns from increases in temperature and changes in rain fall, leading to changes in flow regimes, as well as in breeding and feeding habitats.
The report recommends five investments: improving understanding of inland fisheries' vulnerability to environmental change; developing viable options for addressing the threats posed to inland fisheries by environmental change; building adaptive capacity among key stakeholder groups to increase resilience of inland fisheries at local, national and regional scales; improving governance of inland fisheries and their ecosystems; and developing capacity to sustain and enhance social benefits from these resources.

(UNEP/TEEB, September 2010) Planned as a useful advisory tool for local and regional policy makers, administrators and managers, this report explores and gives practical guidance on how to deal with the challenge of biodiversity loss at the local and regional level. The report calls on local policy makers to understand the value of natural capital and the services it provides and apply a focus on nature's benefits in local policy areas such as urban management, spatial planning and protected areas management. It calls for local authorities to take a stepwise approach to assessing options that factor nature's benefits into local policy action, including: assessing ecosystem services and expected changes in their availability and distribution; identifying which ecosystem services are most relevant to particular policy issues; and assessing impacts of policy options on different groups in the community.
