Main change is here

Lines 46 to 61 in a048da5
The point is that we want to have a half-normal family prior for a standard deviation. In this case, its the standard deviation of the latent Gamma process implicit in the Negative Binomial definition. All this is based on this classic paper.
I've update the getting started note and the sampler seems happy with this new prior.
Closes #29
