Migrant Reports
For the fifth consecutive year, a group of local birders has been sharing information about sightings of migrant species. Participation, percentagewise, was acceptable this year with some 15 people (out of the 40 on the mailing list) actually sending data—even though much of the participation was spotty, at best. Thanks to Andrew Walker,Daniel Martínez, and Paco Madrigal for their regular contributions.
Since the information is generated in a completely nonsystematic manner, it is quite impossible to make any statistically valid comparisons with previous years. Nonetheless, in speaking with several other local birders, it seemed as though there was a general sense that migrant activity was a bit slow these past three months.
As follows are some of the more noteworthy sightings that I was aware of:
Northern Harrier (Circus cyaneus): Seen by Robert Dean in the vicinity of Laguna del Lagarto Lodge (near the Nicaraguan border in the northern central Caribbean lowlands) on 21 October 2006.
Black-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus erythropthalmus): On 05 October, Paco Madrigal was birding about 150 meters down the road from the entrance bridge to Hotel de Montaña Savegre, when he spotted a bird foraging in an apple orchard. It stayed quite low, usually no more than a meter off the ground, and Paco was able to take several photos. A week later, on 12 October, another bird was found at Rancho Naturalista. This individual was along the lower trail system and was seen by Herman Venegas and two guests.
Blue-headed Vireo (Vireo solitarius): Lance Barnett reported seeing two birds in mixed flocks near the Dantica lodge, above the village of San Gerardo de Dota, on 07 October.
Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica): On 08 September, Andy Walker had "a beautiful adult at Rancho Naturalista. It was gleaning in the pine trees (and heard calling) at midheight, it then dropped low down and showed incredibly well for about 30 minutes before we had to leave. As far as I am aware this is the first Rancho record of this species."
Then, on 23 September, Noel Ureña discovered a bird in some pines in front of his house in San Isidro de El General. It was his second sighting of the species in CR.
And on 24 September, Paco Madrigal found an individual with a mixed flock near San José de la Montaña. Likewise, it was his second occasion to see this uncommon warbler in CR.
Palm Warbler (Dendroica palmarum): On 25 October, Kevin and Steven Easley "had a western race Palm Warbler at Manzanillo (south of Cahuita), right near the soccer field. Steven got some smashing photos of it. Also there we had Magnolia Warbler (Dendroica magnolia), Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), Veery (Catharus fuscescens), and lots of other migrants."
Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea): On 07 September, Daniel Martínez and Ernesto Carman produced the season's only report with two to four indivduals at Kéköldi.
MacGillivray's Warbler (Oporornis tolmiei): On 27 September, while birding near his house in San José de la Montaña, Paco Madrigal got good looks at an adult female and clearly saw the broken eye-ring as the bird perched briefly, just a meter above the ground.
Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus): On 06 October, Jim Zook found a bird in a pineapple plantation near Volcán de Buenos Aires. Interestingly, it was almost in the same place and on the same date that Jim had seen a Bobolink two years previously.
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus): On 04 August, I was quite surprised to come upon a juvenile male perched in an Erythrina tree on the grounds of the Hotel de Montaña in Monteverde. Normally, this species doesn't begin showing up in CR until the middle of October. However, upon checking data from the previous four years of migrant tracking, I found that Luis Sandoval had seen a juvenile or a female on 12 August 2005, near Getsemani de Heredia.
A Pelagic Report from out of Herradura
On the morning of 19 August 2006, Jim Zook, Bruce Young, Adolfo "Fito" Downs, Jim Wolfe, and Paul Murgatroyd left the marina at Herradura Bay (NW of Jacó) for a two-day pelagic trip aboard the Floating Bear—a 52-ft. Beneteau sailboat skippered by Capitan John Cornwell, who was assisted by Juan López. In his report, Jim Zook mentioned that this was a more pleasurable experience than the previous pelagic trips he'd been on due to several factors: a longer vessel, a smaller (i.e., quieter and less smelly) motor, and very calm seas. Originally, the plan had been to spend the night of 19 Aug at sea; however, due to some problems with the ship's electronics, they anchored that evening in the Quepos harbor, instead. Here's the route they followed:
At 8:00 on 19 Aug they left Herradura Bay and cruised 32 km S; at 10:30, changed course and went SSE for 23 km; at 12:15, upon reaching a point 57.5 km WSW of Quepos, turned and navegated to Port Quepos, arriving at 16:30. At 6:40 on 20 Aug, they left Quepos and cruised 50 km SW; at 10:15, turned and headed NW for 41 km; at 13:40, at 34.5 km SSW of Herradura, began returning directly to port; however, at 14:45, they detoured NW to observe some birds in the mouth of the Gulf of Nicoya; at 15:15, at a point 21 km SW of Herradura, they returned to port, arriving at 16:30.
The following is the bird list that Jim sent. The numbers given are a sumation of the two days and are only for birds seen at sea (vs. in port).
Audubon's Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri) – 38
unidentified gadfly petrel (Pterodroma sp.) – 1; the most likely candidate is Galapagos Petrel (P. phaeopygia).
Wilson's Storm-Petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) – 86
Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) – 30; all of the white-rumped form.
Wedge-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma tethys) – 6
Black Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma melania) – 5
unidentified storm-petrels (all with white rumps) – 15
Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) – 243
Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) – 8
Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) – 22
Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) – 3 adults
Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) – 4
unidentified peeps (Calidris sp.) – 5
Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) – 62
unidentified gull (Larus sp.) – 1; probably Lauging Gull (L. atricilla) in first summer plumage
Sabine's Gull (Xema sabini) – 24
Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus) – 1
Bridled Tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) – 11
Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) – 1
Black Tern (Chlidonias niger) – 41
unidentified tern (Sterna sp.) – 2
Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) – 16
Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) – 5
Curiously, although several pods of dolphins were encountered, only the largest group had any seabirds with it, and then a mere two Audubon's Shearwaters.
Most of the storm-petrels were found among the group of birds foraging at the mouth of the Gulf of Nicoya, and were observed well as the boat was able to approach them quite closely. The Sabine's Gulls were usually found sitting on the water, sometimes in groups of up to seven, and all were adults in basic plumage or just beginning to molt into breeding plumage. Many of these gulls were in the flotsam driftlines along with phalaropes and Black and Bridled Terns.
Lovely Cotinga at Arenal
There were multiple sightings of Lovely Cotinga (Cotinga amabilis) at Arenal Observatory Lodge the last few months. The first I heard of was by Paulo Valerio, who photographed either a female or a juvenile in late July. A few days later, on 28 July 2006, Leo Chaves saw an adult and a juvenile male ("almost entirely whitish, but with turquoise feathering on the breast, wings, and back") feeding in a fruiting tree at the edge of the garden, near the upper entrance to the Saino Trail. On 01 and 02 August, it was Paco Madrigal's turn to see an adult male in the same tree, at 6:00 both days.
On 20 October 2006, while having breakfast at AOL with Bob and Rosemary Butt, I was approached by a guiding colleague, Marco Paris, who told me that at around 6:00 he had seen a male Lovely Cotinga in some trees below "La Casona." Finishing our meal, we promptly headed down to the area, but an hour's worth of watching yielded no cotingas, though fortunately the birding there was non-stop and quite entertaining.
More Motmot Mingling at Arenal
Carlos Jiménez wrote to say that he has joined the ranks of those who have witnessed a Keel-billed Motmot (Electron carinatum) in consort with a Broad-billed Motmot (E. platyrhynchum). In early September, while birding the trail at El Silencio (near Tabacón in the Arenal area), he came across both species on the same perch.
"In addition to sharing the perch, they also hunted together. On two occasions, the Broad-billed Motmot caught an insect and the Keel-billed Motmot attempted to take the prey from it.
"I can't say that one was feeding the other, simply that they shared the same branch and feeding area."
Mangrove Hummingbirds at Playa Venado
On 16 August 2006, while birding with Tom and Tanya Gross, we saw both a male and a female Mangrove Hummingbird (Amazilia boucardi) along the edge of the small mangrove at Playa Venado. This Guanacaste beach is a few kilometers south of Playa Junquillal, and about 20 km south of Tamarindo, where John and Maureen Woodcock have reported this species several times.
One has to wonder if this species might not also be present at other mangroves farther south on the Nicoya Peninsula.
Violet-headed Hummingbird in Santa Rosa NP
I visited Monteverde with a group of birders in early August, and as we were standing on the viewing platform below the little waterfall on the Río Trail, one of the group struck up a conversation with another birder who happened to arrive at the spot. It turned out that he was a German ornithologist who worked with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and had been in Costa Rica for several years studying communication systems in parrots and parakeets. His study was based in Santa Rosa NP and he was enjoying a respite from the tropical heat by visiting Monteverde. As I drew the group's attention to a bathing Purple-throated Mountain-gem (Lampornis calolaemus) that had come to the top of the lower fall, our conversation turned towards these tiny avian wonders. The scientist (whose name I unfortunately did not get) mentioned that they have been finding Violet-headed Hummingbirds (Klais guimeti) for several years now in the evergreen forest along the park entrance road. I am unaware of any other reports for this species in the northwestern Pacific lowlands, though I did find three individuals on the Pacific slope of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, while birding at Buena Vista Lodge (at an elevation of about 700m) on 21 November 2003.
Coincidentally, Vincent de Boer recently sent some sighting reports from his stay in Costa Rica earlier this year. Among the more interesting ones, I thought, was his mention of having seen a female Violet-headed Hummingbird along the road above Hotel Villa Lapas, on 17 March 2006. The exact spot was by the big lefthand curve, with a pullout and a viewpoint on the right. The elevation is nearly 500m at the site.
Slate-throated Redstart at El Rodeo
On 21 August 2006, Mathias Kümmerlen was birding at Quebrada Honda, which is along the entrance road from Ciudad Colón to El Rodeo Forest Reserve. He was hoping to find some early migrants, but instead encounterd a pair of Slate-throated Redstarts (Myioborus miniatus). This sighting represents what is apparently the first record for this species in the general El Rodeo area.
Other Interesting Sightings
Kevin Easley sent news of some noteworthy recent sightings. In the afternoon of 08 August 2006, he had two male Red-breasted Blackbirds (Sturnella militaris) along the entrance road to Casa Turire, near Turrialba. The birds were calling, too. Kevin wrote, "These were initially found by Freddie Madrigal. According to my records, these represent the 2nd and 3rd records for this area (I had a male near Platanillo a few years back). Then five minutes later, we saw a Tropical Mockingbird (Mimus gilvus), also at Casa Turire. This bird was initially found by Ernesto Carman just a few days prior and was the first record for the area. Green Shrike-Vireo (Vireolanius pulchellus), in a flock on the Mine Road near Platanillo, is worthy of mentioning as well as it is seldom reported from there—it was new for the area for both Ernesto and myself."
In mid-October, Kevin was in Caño Negro and during a boat ride through the lagoons had "a stunning Pinnated Bittern" (Botaurus pinnatus). Earlier in that same trip, though, they had already seen two Pinnated Bitterns and a Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) at the El Tigre field, southeast of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí.
I'm pleased to report that as of 21 October, there was still no sign of change at the El Tigre field. Rumor has it that the landowners are planning to convert it to a pineapple plantation—as they have already done with higher ground surrounding the low, marshy area.

Mystery Bird Photo Quiz
Congratulations to Bill Tice and Paco Madrigal, who correctly identified the mystery bird from the previous edition of the GBN.
This fledgling Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) was photographed at Hotel de Montaña Savegre on 01 June 2006 and just goes to show that these birds aren't born beautiful. I waited for a while, hoping to get a photo of an adult feeding the juvenile, but had to move on before that ever happened. So, for those doubters, the best I can off is this alternate image, which does show a hint of the green plumage on the upper back.Normally, at this point in the newsletter I would be introducing a new mystery photo for you to ponder. However, I have decided that this will be the final edition of the Gone Birding Newsletter. Instead of uploading a quarterly bulletin with news of rare bird sightings and other interesting ornithological news pertinent to Costa Rica, I hope to soon add a page to the website that will be similar to theXenornis website, maintained by Darién Montañez, for rare bird sightings in Panama. This will have the advantage of conveying news much more quickly, although it does mean that the reader will have to remember to check the site for news since there will be no more email messages announcing new editions. I trust that the new format will actually be an improved service to everyone interested in Costa Rican birding news and look forward to your active participation!
Thanks to everyone who contributed news of rare sightings and good finds. I hope that you've enjoyed this newsletter and welcome any comments at email@example.com
or if you're in Costa Rica, feel free to give me a ring at 293-2710.
Wishing you all great birding,
Richard Garrigues

Hi Portland.
Do you live nearabouts Portland? I'm teaching wreath making workshops this weekend at the Bazaar. The Saturday class has sold out so we opened up a second one on Sunday. It's going to be a small class, so expect plenty of one on one goofiness and embarrassing Amy moments. The class is $40 and you get a pair of clippers, wire and a big old wreath to take home. The goofiness is free.
Sign up info here.

wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Monks:
New To Perl.
Accepting a field from a form that is a 3 digit number.
In the Perl script I would like to store the 6 possibilites these 3 numbers could have in 6 different variables. Example: If 123 was entered, the 6 different combinations would be 123,132,213,213,312,312. Again, I would like to store each one in a different variable. Would an array be the thing to use and/or what would be a simple loop to create all 6 combinations? Thank you. 2006-07-10 Retitled by planetscape, as per Monastery guidelines

The Audacity of Fraud: How Barack Obama Is Losing My Vote
Barack Obama writes a 5,000-word manifesto on "Renewing American leadership" in the current issue of Foreign Affairs. I was expecting fresh, bold new thinking-the audacity of liberalism. What I got instead was a Republican hawk in Kennedy clothing. If this is what we are to expect from the new generation of Democratic leaders, Bush's legacy has nothing to fear. It's writhing with life under a new guise. Call it neo-conservatism with a human face.
Obama's essay hits all the right tones: Optimism, ambition, hope, American exceptionalism. It's your basic stump-speech style. He brackets the piece in references to FDR, with a little Truman and JFK thrown in. He delivers the kind of lofty one- and two-liners designed to get applause at a political convention: "We must lead the world, by deed and by example." "The American moment is not over, but it must be seized anew." "Our global engagement cannot be defined by what we are against; it must be guided by a clear sense of what we stand for." But this is Foreign Affairs. He can skip the fawning and flattery, which sounds no different than standard-issue speechifying. Give us your program. But what little of it he does give beyond the high-minded rhetoric sounds, with a couple of exceptions, strangely stale and uncomfortably familiar. Obama is going out of his way to sound tough, nationalistic, and most of all, grown up. I've heard that urge before. We've been deafened by it for the last seven years by the current president and his inferiority complex.
The essay's opening reference to FDR's Four Freedoms is deceptive. Those freedoms, Obama writes, "gave purpose to our struggle against fascism." Perhaps he should have listed them: Freedom of speech and worship, freedom from want and fear. The "purpose" wasn't yet the fight against fascism: Roosevelt delivered the speech in January 1941, a year before the country was dragged into war. The purpose held true universally, not just as a counterpoint to fascism. We don't get that sense of universalism from Obama's purposes in this essay. The Four Freedoms barely make it past their initial cameo, anyway. What we get is oppositional arguments. We must do so and so not because it's inherently good, but because-and here, fill in the blanks-we must fight al-Qaeda, restore alliances, ensure that the United States can still compete globally and against China ( China?!). At the very end of the essay he cites Kennedy's line about helping the world's poor to help themselves "because it is right," but by then it feels like an insurance quote so the previous 4,000 words don't get misinterpreted as USDA Grade A expedience.
His opening paragraphs restate, explicitly, America's role as self-appointed leader of the world and bearer of The Truth. That posture may have been bearable, if briefly demonstrably true, in the 1940s and early 1950s. But only Americans who refuse to hear the rest of the world still speak of the United States in Superman terms, as "Leader of the Free World." The United States is a leader. It isn't the leader: that's the inherent assumption of institutions like the G8, the UN's Security Council, even NATO, if NATO is to survive. No European Union nation considers the United Statesthe leader of the free world, especially not since the debacles those nations have witnessed and scorn they've endured from the Bush administration. So what's Obama doing when he's calling for a rebuilding of international institutions? "The mission of the United States is to provide global leadership grounded in the understanding that the world shares a common security and a common humanity"-as long as the world understands that America leads. Which means the rest follow. This is a restatement of the Bush doctrine in humbler terms, and without much substance behind it. A "common security and a common humanity" meets the objectives of a Sunday sermon. It doesn't tell us what Obama means by that common humanity, nor how he'd achieve it. What he does say angles away from "common humanity" and back to a staunchly America-centered world-view.
That world view restates the threats facing the United States in Bush's hyperbolic terms. The notion that al-Qaeda, for all its terrorism, represents a threat as vast and dangerous as fascism or communism has been a staple of the Bush doctrine. Al-Qaeda in particular and terrorism by definition could never amount to a threat on the level of fascism or communism. Terrorism is a crude and short-range method, not a program nor an ideology nor a sustainable enterprise. Yet here's Obama again, reinvigorating the absurd premise: "This century's threats are at least as dangerous as and in some ways more complex than those we have confronted in the past. They come from weapons that can kill on a mass scale and from global terrorists who respond to alienation or perceived injustice with murderous nihilism. They come from rogue states allied to terrorists and from rising powers that could challenge both America and the international foundation of liberal democracy. They come from weak states that cannot control their territory or provide for their people. And they come from a warming planet that will spur new diseases, spawn more devastating natural disasters, and catalyze deadly conflicts." That last, about global warming, is the closest he gets to an accurate comparison to global, existential threats. But conflating it with the threats of terrorism or rogue militarism confuses the issue to the point of sensationalism. Global warming aside, "this century's threats" are not as or more dangerous than the last. They've been made more dangerous than they are because of rhetorical exaggerations and catastrophic strategic mistakes: Bush calling the war on terror a war, and Bush fighting it by expanding it to Iraq while neglecting it in Afghanistan. If terrorism had been fought globally as effectively as it has been in the Philippines (for example), which is how some of us wanted it fought beginning on Sept. 12, 2001, the facile language of war that presidential candidates are using today, left and right, would have been shown to be folly. As it is, the language's folly pales compared to its ongoing execution.
Obama gets worse. Repeating his idea for a "phased withdrawal" from Iraq only to call it a "redeployment" in the same breath (the coy deflection from cutting and running, which is what this is and what it must be, dates back to Ronald Reagan calling the Marines' withdrawal from Beirut in 1984 a "redeployment"), he leaves open the door for a longer stay "if the Iraqi government meets the security, political, and economic benchmarks to which it has committed" and settles on the deceptive language of a permanent stay in the form of "a minimal over-the-horizon military force in the region to protect American personnel and facilities." Facilities? The previous line-I'm not kidding you-was this: "[W]e must make clear that we seek no permanent bases in Iraq." It isn't Obama's only blatant contradiction (more of those in a moment), although what Iraqis and other Mideasterners will read in this passage is nothing new under American policy's sun.
There's more to Obama's hawkish compulsions. He wants military ranks increased by 100,000. In this, he sounds indistinguishable from Mitt Romney's prescription for the military, in the same issue of Foreign Affairs: "First, we need to increase our investment in national defense. This means adding at least 100,000 troops and making a long-overdue investment in equipment, armament, weapons systems, and strategic defense. The need to support our troops is repeated like a mantra in Washington. Yet little has been said about the commitment of resources needed to make this more than an empty phrase." But where has the case been made for an expanded military force, if not for expanded and semi-permanent military commitments abroad? And who at this point ought to be enabling existing commitments, let alone expanded ones? We remain by far the nation with the biggest and costliest military in the world. The Pentagon's budget is well in excess of all other nations' military budgets combined. There's not a force on earth that can challenge the military conventionally. It doesn't need expansion. It may need some redirection. It certainly needs considerable contraction: There's no need for a fleet of 400 ships, no need for a $10-billion-a-year "missile shield," no need for the F-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter, no need for an endless list of military procurement that does nothing for the defense of the country and everything to grease the job-making base of a few congressman. And there's no need for an American presence in Europe anymore. Those forces should redeploy. The Pentagon is sucking the marrow out of the federal budget and making a Sparta of this alleged "city upon a hill."
Yet what does Obama do? He does Romney one better. He breaks down the numbers: "We should expand our ground forces by adding 65,000 soldiers to the army and 27,000 marines." He restates the doctrine of using the military for nation-building: "We must also consider using military force in circumstances beyond self-defense in order to provide for the common security that underpins global stability -- to support friends, participate in stability and reconstruction operations, or confront mass atrocities." And he restates Bush's doctrine of pre-emption, as in the case of Iran if it becomes necessary because "It is far too dangerous to have nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical theocracy" (because it's not dangerous to have them in the hands of a dictatorship like Pakistan? Or in the hands of the only nation that has used them?) Henry Kissinger must be on Obama's speed-dial. Just in case the jingoes haven't got the point that Obama is all for the bang-bang, he notes again, using that metaphor so beloved by every Fox News talking head plus terminology of Rumsfeld vintage, how "we must also become better prepared to put boots on the ground in order to take on foes that fight asymmetrical and highly adaptive campaigns on a global scale."
That last, incidentally, is another considerable contradiction. Three pages earlier Obama is lecturing us about how the "Bush administration responded to the unconventional attacks of 9/11 with conventional thinking of the past, largely viewing problems as state-based and principally amenable to military solutions." So what's this business about boots on the ground again? Intelligence, in every sense, is absent.
Obama does emphasize diplomacy. He's been reading Dennis Ross' "Statecraft." But Obama's openings are severely restricted. Iran and Syria are OK to talk to. But there's no mention of opening a dialogue with Hamas, let alone Hezbollah, the Taliban or al-Qaeda. So his international diplomatic initiatives are stuck in the very same "conventional thinking of the past, largely viewing problems as state-based," that he so eagerly and justly criticizes Bush for. On Israel, the best he can say is the same old rehash about Israel being "our strongest ally in the region" (a doubtful assertion anymore) and this incredibly obtuse prescription from a few decades back: "we must help the Israelis identify and strengthen those partners who are truly committed to peace, while isolating those who seek conflict and instability." In other words, don't talk to Hamas. How different is that from the Bush approach? Not very. Obama's thinking is muddy, haphazard, half-baked. And every few paragraphs - like money shots in porno movies - he throws in his bit of brawn to remind us again and again what a tough man he is: "To defeat al Qaeda, I will build a twenty-first-century military and twenty-first-century partnerships as strong as the anticommunist alliance that won the Cold War to stay on the offense everywhere from Djibouti to Kandahar." Take cover.
His understanding of this modern-day terrorism seems simplistic to infantile, too. He quotes an unnamed, "senior U.S. military commander" saying how "when people have dignity and opportunity, 'the chance of extremism being welcomed greatly, if not completely, diminishes.'" The thinking is as harebrained as the syntax. As Lawrence Wright reminds us in "The Looming Tower," terrorism's founders, leaders and ideological gurus-Qutb, bin Laden, Zawahiri-are all the product of middle class wealth. The rank-and-file follows the same pattern. According to the research of Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociologist at the American University in Cairo who studied Egypt's political prisoners, "most of the Islamist recruits were young men from villages who had come to the city for schooling. The majority were the sons of mid-level bureaucrats. They were ambitious and tended to be drawn to the fields of science and engineering, which accept only the most qualified students. They were not the alienated, marginalized youth that a sociologist might have expected." The same can be said of the 9/11 hijackers. The same is being said of Britain's current boil of would-be terrorists-doctors and such, for Khadija's sake. Obama's thinking about terrorism is stuck in a romanticism as pre-conceived and inaccurate as notions of the noble savage. It sounds good to the masses. It's simple. But it's false.
I could go on. But to say what? That Obama decries Darfur but doesn't say what he'd do about it? That he wants to give nations like Brazil, India and Nigeria- Nigeria, one of the most corrupt, violent, repressive, U.S.-supported nations on the planet-"a stake in upholding the international order" without explaining what he means? He goes as far as saying that American foreign aid for the last 20 years "has done little more than keep pace with inflation," but for all of Bush's endless faults, the one thing he has accomplished is spike the amount of money going to foreign aid, such as it is. The problem isn't the amount. It's its spending restrictions to military purposes or American goods. Is Obama proposing to change that racket? He doesn't say. He proposes to increase aid to $50 billion a year by 2012. Let's see now. Even if the $50 billion was measured against today's economy, that would amount to 0.38 percent of American GDP. That's still well below the 0.7 percent agreed to by the European Union (by 2015), and of course well below the percentage contributed by Sweden (1 percent) and other Scandinavian countries, which come in at 0.8 percent or more. (See the chart here.) By 2012, Obama's pledge will actually amount to barely 0.3 percent. Again, a projection that sounds much better than it really is. Again, a page out of Bush tactics.
Obama's last segment is called "Restoring America's Trust." But by then I've lost trust in Obama. "We can be this America again," he writes, evoking the days "not all that long ago [when] farmers in Venezuela and Indonesia welcomed American doctors to their villages and hung pictures of JFK on their living room walls, when millions, like my father, waited every day for a letter in the mail that would grant them the privilege to come to America to study, work, live, or just be free." In that case why is he painting himself as just another Democrat posing as a Republican and using every sly trick in the book so recently written by George W. Bush? The answer, too, is stale. It isn't Obama's. It's the two-party system, triumphant.

- Have an alternate plan in case of unforseen circumstances. eg. flash flooding, track erosion, transport changes etc.
- Choose areas and walk levels that are within your capabilities as a leader.
- Clearly describe potential hazards to all intending participants and exclude any participant who in the leader's judgement may have difficulty completing the planned activity.
- Leave comprehensive details of the walk with a reliable person including instructions on what to do if you do not return at the expected time.
- A few days prior to the walk check transport details if applicable, expected weather conditions and in summer, fire conditions, park closures etc.
- Ensure a map, compass; first aid kit and any other equipment appropriate for the planned activity are brought on the activity.
- Ensure all participants complete the sign on sheet (NPA Attendance form) that includes the Risk Waiver form.
- Hold an introductory circle prior to setting out and advise details of the walk including expected terrain, distance, possible hazards, expected return time etc. and that all participants have the requisite experience, equipment and fitness for the activity. The leader has the right to refuse participation to any persons they consider may present a risk to themselves or other participants or do not have the necessary skills for the activity.

The tale of how an in travesto woman briefly became pope gets a disappointingly dull workout.
The legendary tale of how an in travesto woman briefly became pope during the ninth century gets a disappointingly dull workout in "Pope Joan." Despite a game lead perf by Teuton thesp Johanna Wokalek, and handsome widescreen production values, this German-led big-budgeter — shot in English and adapted from the bestseller by Donna Woolfolk Cross — drifts along in neutral like a cut-down miniseries. Lack of any dramatic momentum in the spotty script and arch dialogue make "Joan" pretty much D.O.A. in Anglo markets, though a dubbed version has converted more than 1 million since its Oct. 22 release in Deutschland.
Cross' 1996 potboiler sold a miraculous 5 million copies in Germany, and a pic version had been a longtime project of director Volker Schloendorff, with actress Franka Potente attached. When Schloendorff exited the production — reportedly due to a dispute with Constantin Film over having to make a TV two-parter as well — local hitmeister Soenke Wortmann ("The Miracle of Bern") took over, with Wokalek assuming the lead role. Wokalek, 34, who made her name as the female lead in Til Schweiger starrer "Barefoot," and was so good as terrorist Gudrun Ensslin in "The Baader Meinhof Complex," certainly has the right boyish looks for the part, and gives a solid, convincing perf mouthing the English dialogue. But she's let down by flat revoicing (by an uncredited Englishwoman) and a role that doesn't touch the emotions. Though stagier and less dirt-under-the-fingernails in look, the 1972 "Pope Joan," starring Liv Ullmann and scripted by John Briley, is dramatically meatier, hewing closer to the original legend and delving more into the era's politics and Joan's conflict between sex and faith. The Wortmann/Cross version is more of a full-on modernist-feminist tract, with the main character living in fear of being found out. A framing device is provided by a French bishop arriving in Rome to enter Joan's story in the papal archives (and provide occasional v.o. during the movie). Yarn proper opens in 814 with the birth of a daughter to a nutty English village priest (Iain Glen, fulminous) and his onetime heathen Saxon wife (Joerdis Triebel) near Ingelheim, in Franconia. As a kid, Johanna (Tigerlily Hutchinson) already shows exceptional reading and language skills, despite her father's violent opposition to a girl receiving any education. At age 10, Johanna (Lotte Flack) gets encouragement from a free-thinking religious teacher (Edward Petherbridge) but dad wants only her brother, Johannes (Jan-Hendrik Kiefer), to go to study under the bishop of Dorstadt. Johanna ends up tagging along and, seven years later (now played by Wokalek), she finds herself attracted to a handsome knight, Gerold (David Wenham). When Gerold departs for war against the invading Norse, his mom tries to marry her off in his absence, but — shame! — the wedding is interrupted by the nasty Norsemen and only Johanna survives. Binding up her breasts and cutting her hair, she is accepted into Fulda Abbey, where her knowledge of Ancient Greek medicine earns her respect. Fearful of the truth being discovered, she finally skips the abbey and ends up journeying to Rome with some pilgrims, still disguised as a man. It's here, already 90 minutes in, that the movie should really develop some heft as Johanna gets a job as a personal physician (and later confidant) to Pope Sergius (John Goodman) after curing him of gout. The 1972 pic gained considerably from Trevor Howard's subtle perf as the pope, but Goodman — adopting a blustering, OTT British accent — seems more intent on sending the whole picture up, at which point "Pope Joan" starts to sink irretrievably. Wenham acquits himself decently but establishes no real chemistry with Wokalek. Best of the supports is Nicholas Woodeson in a Leo Genn-like role as Johanna's wise supporter. Goodman, triumphantly miscast, thunders through lines like, "The pain! I cannot bear it! More wine!" with carefree abandonment. Pic's budget is all up on the screen in terrific production and costume design — especially during the Rome sequences, shot in Morocco — though not in any action setpieces that would have bolstered the movie's scope. Cold color processing and Marcel Barsotti's themeless score don't help in building any emotional hooks.Pope Joan

Student yells from window he's selling weed; Mass. officers hear and make arrest
The Associated Press
BOSTON — A pair of former Northeastern University freshmen are facing charges after prosecutors said one leaned out his dorm window Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roommate were selling pot.
"If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Michael Emery said out the window, according to the Suffolk district attorney's office.
Two plainclothes Boston officers in the building overheard the conversation and went to a second-floor room where they arrested Emery, 18, and Matthew Ferrante, 18, after finding about four ounces of marijuana; drug paraphernalia, including a scale; and several bottles of alcohol, prosecutors said.
The students were arraigned Tuesday on charges including possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, a count that carries a maximum of two years in jail.
They pleaded not guilty, were released on personal recognizance and are due back in court next month. Attorneys for the men did not immediately return calls for comment.
They are no longer students at Northeastern, university spokeswoman Laura Shea said.

Stats via CollegeHockeyNews.com
Northeastern officially qualifies as this year's "Wow, where did they
come from?" team in the realm of college hockey. Having finished
sixth in Hockey East last season after a late-season swoon, Greg
Cronin's squad put the pieces together this year with a strong showing
early on, with just three losses before the end of 2008. As the
Hockey East schedule stiffened, the Huskies kept up their strong play,
paced every minute of every game by netminder Brad Thiessen.
Their NCAA tournament berth is Northeastern's first since 1994. A bid for
their first ever Hockey East regular season championship fell flat on the
last day, missing out by one point to #1 team in the nation Boston
University, the same BU program which had derailed Northeastern's
efforts to take home their first Beanpot championship since 1988 with a
5-2 victory back in February. Boston U has been a thorn in the
side of the Huskies this season (admittedly, a common thread this
year), as the Huskies have gone 0-2-2 against them during this
campaign. The recurring theme of this week will be whether
Northeastern has the mettle in the big games that it's going to need.
The Beanpot final loss, and the upset by the RiverHawks of
UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semis have raised the spectre of
concern. It'll be up to the Huskies to show up, because there's
no other solace waiting for them should they fail.
Quick Hits:
Feels Like the First Time. In winning the Hockey East player of the year award this season, Huskies goalie Brad Thiessen became the first Northeastern player to snag the honor. Thiessen has played every minute in net for the Huskies this season. His coach, Greg Cronin, winner of just three games in 2005-06, his first season at Northeastern, was named Hockey East's Coach of the Year.
And we think of Yost as "old". Matthews Arena (formerly known as Boston Arena), the home of Northeastern hockey, was built in 1910 and is considered to be the oldest surviving indoor ice hockey rink in the world. The original home of the Boston Bruins, the Boston Celtics, and the WHA's New England Whalers, it is also the original home of SEVEN Boston-area college hockey programs, as well as the host of the 1960 Frozen Four and the original home of the Beanpot.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals had posted no opinions from Indiana courts at IL deadline.
Indiana Supreme Court had posted no opinions at IL deadline.
Indiana Court of Appeals
Julie Nunley, n/k/a Waldrath v. Jeremy A. Nunley
Domestic relation. Affirms that Jeremy Nunley is entitled to a reduction of his child support obligation due to the decrease
in his income due to his incarceration for Class D felony nonsupport of a dependent. Declines to create an exception to the
rules set forth in Clark and Lambert for individuals incarcerated for the crime of nonsupport of a dependent.
Todd A. Anderson v. Shauna Anderson
Domestic relation. Reverses denial of Todd Anderson's request to credit against his child support obligation Social
Security benefits Shauna Anderson received on behalf of their child prior to Todd's petition to modify child support.
Periodic SSD payments should be treated the same as lump-sum SSD payments and may be applied retroactively to an existing
arrearage. Remands with instructions.
Jonathon D. Douglas v. State of Indiana and Indiana Family & Social Services Admin., as Assignee
of the Support Rights of Mechelle (Allen) McCrory
Domestic relation. Reverses denial of Douglas' petition to modify his child support obligation due to his incarceration
for nonsupport of a dependent. Declines to create an exception to the rules set forth in Lambert and Clark.
Holds that the trial court erred when it concluded that incarceration for nonsupport of a dependent child cannot amount to
a change in circumstances so substantial and continuing as to make the terms of an existing child support order unreasonable.
Remands for further proceedings.
In the Matter of the Involuntary Commitment of A.M.
Mental health. Affirms involuntary commitment to a mental health facility. Sufficient evidence supports that A.M. is gravely
Paul Fonner v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Affirms convictions of Class D felony theft and Class A misdemeanor criminal trespass. The trial court's
failure to properly and clearly advise Fonner of his right to testify resulted in the loss of his ability to make that waiver
knowingly and intelligently. This error did not amount to a reversible error, and there is sufficient evidence to support
his convictions.
Abby Allen and Walter Moore v. Clarian Health Partners, Inc.
Civil tort. Reverses dismissal of Allen and Moore's complaint pursuant to Ind. Trial Rule 12(B)(6). Holds that the
complaint is supported by more than 120 years of Indiana common law that a reasonable charge will be implied in a contract
that does not otherwise specify a charge, and the complaint states a claim for breach of contract. Remands for further proceedings.
Robert Glispie v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Reverses conviction of Class A misdemeanor trespass. The state failed to prove an essential element of the offense.

Apple Files Lawsuit Against HTC Over Alleged iPhone Patent Infringement
Apple today filed a lawsuit against HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone's user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. The lawsuit was filed concurrently with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in U.S. District Court in Delaware.
"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."
Apple is currently involved in a number of high-profile patent lawsuits primarily stemming from the iPhone, but also extending into other aspects of the company's business. Apple and Nokia have filed suits against each other citing infringement of each other's patents, while Kodak recently filed complaints against Apple and Research in Motion related to digital camera patents.

I am guessing that the text in the subject line is your question...?
What do you mean by "reducing" the equation? (Wondering)
= ln(y) = ln(x)^(2/3)
Multiplying both sides by e, we end up with:
y = x^(2/3)
thanks enjam, that's just what i was confused about. i didn't know that e^2/3lnx = x^2/3
Actually, no. If you multiply through by a constant, you will end up with the same logarithmic equation, but now multiplied through by a constant. (Blush)
Instead, you need to raise both sides of the equation as powers on the base e.
There's a good reason for not having know that: it's not true! (Wondering)
However, e^ln(x^(2/3)) does equal x^(2/3). (Wink)
so what would be the simplified version of: e^(2/3lnx)
property of logarithm: p(ln x) = ln (x)^p
ln(y)=(2/3)*ln(x) = ln (x)^(2/3)
raise BS to e,
e^( ln y) = e^(ln (x)^(2/3))
but by definition, e^(ln y) = y, then
y = x^(2/3)
if you want a graph, see below.

Susan that was a wonderful tutorial! Heather is right about the over the shoulder shooting. I find when I am at other quilting venues like MQX that is a problem too. You really cannot see what is happening - just the machine. Your whole family did such a wonderful job! And the music original??!!! WOW! What a talented family!!!! Thnaks for putting it together. The finished piece is so lovely and I can't wait to try it myself!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting, and I love the tutorial for the FMQ challenge...especially the tip about using the timer, to prevent you from searching for hours for the perfect picture! I agree with Heather, the video was great, but would be much more helpful if it were shot over your shoulder, to see the needle movement. Thanks!

Tip Thursday: Upright Sleeping
With so many holiday parties coming up, you're bound to have a late night and possibly even a hangover. If you are coming home super late or coming home a bit tipsy, you'll most likely want to avoid that "beautiful" puffy look the next morning.
Try to sleep as upright as possible to help keep some of that puffiness (and possibly even acid reflux) at bay. By lying upright you are allowing drainage to happen and that helps cut down on some under eye and facial puffiness.

| Romance, Dance and a Documentary Kick Off Monday Night Film SeriesBIG ARTS Film Society brings back the ever-popular Monday Night Film series in November with a mix of critically acclaimed independent and foreign films and documentaries: Mademoiselle Chambon, The Concert, Circo and Mao's Last Dancer.
In addition to a first-rate selection of films, viewers will also enjoy the quality of the new Blu-Ray Disc player, and other new high-definition projection equipment, installed this past summer. November Monday Night films: November 7: Mademoiselle Chambon (2009) France; Not Rated November 14: The Concert (2009) Russia/France; November 21: Circo (2010) Mexico; Not Rated November 28: Mao's Last Dancer (2009) China/U.S.; Rated PG An elegant tale of unexpected romance between a married man and his son's homeroom teacher, Kenneth Turan's Los Angeles Times review calls Mademoiselle Chambon, "an exquisite chamber piece made with the kind of sensitivity and nuance that's become almost a lost art." The recipient of César Awards in 2010 for Best Original Score and Best Sound, The Concert is a darkly funny tale about injustice and one man's patient path toward vindication. In the documentary, Circo, set against the backdrop of Mexico's collapsing rural economy, a circus family must choose between their hardscrabble life and throwing in the towel on a family tradition dating back to the 19th century. Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter calls the film, "visual poetry," and Huffington Post's Michael Kurcfeld declares it, "a ravishing portrait." Based on the autobiography of world-famous ballet dancer Li Cunxin, Mao's Last Dancer became the highest-grossing film of 2009 in Australia and is described by Bruce Demara of The Toronto Star as, "a memorable journey." Enhanced by surround sound, films will be shown in the comfort of Schein Performance Hall, with a new high-definition projection system and large screen to provide a superb cinematic presentation. Listening devices are available for the hearing impaired. General Admission is $8, or purchase a Film Booklet of 11 tickets for $88. Film Booklet holders must be seated no later than 6:45 p.m. to ensure a seat.

Bleach Vs. Disinfectant
(10 Posts)When do you use which?
Bleach - never.
Disinfectant - when cleaning toilet (diluted). Sometimes down plug holes. Sometimes diluted as floor cleaner for vinyl. I also use a disinfectant spray for work surfaces, door handles, wiping remote controls when someone is infectious.
Don't use either for general household cleaning, bleach is unnecessary and disinfectant smells foul
The only bleach I use is occasional Flash spray with bleach for grouting and HG mould remover when I remove any wallpaper in my old damp house.
Bleach for toilet everyday, will put down drains too every now and then, will also scrub the bathroom with it once a week
Use dettol to wash floors and to damp wipe furniture once a week
Disinfectant never. Bleach around the toilet pan most days.
Apparently the prob with bleach is in the production rather than the result.
Upside, bacteria have no resistance to bleach. Ever. Or soap. What matters as much with hygiene is the drying. Wet hands, wet surfaces: you might as well not bother washing in the first place.
Anti-bacterials only kill 99% of household bacteria, leaving the rest to grow and resist the anti-bac sprays. Anti-bac shite is the work of the devil. Unless the anti-bac is a prescription medicine, it does not get into our house.
Hot water, non-bacterial cleaner will do the trick.
Keep cloths clean. I have new tea-towels/scrubby things/counter cloths every day. They're kept in a string snag in the laundry and boiled with bleach when the bag is full.
Bleach for the loo and the kitchen sink.
Disinfectant for mopping some of the floors.
Disinfectant - only used when nasty vomiting bug was doing the rounds.
Bleach - once a week/fortnight in the loos.
& on mould in the shower.
no bleach down pipes - we have a septic tank.
cleaning with Jif and not water. Occasional anti-bac spray if there's been raw meat juice spilled or similar.
I don't use bleach. Disinfectant on kitchen and bathroom floors and for wiping surfaces etc if we've had stomach bugs. OH would use bleach everywhere everyday and loves a bit of antibacterial shit. Unfortunately I haven't found a disinfectant that isn't antibacterial here. I keep looking.

Revision as of 14:55, 21 January 2008 This article is a travel topic ContentsGet inBy airGet aroundBy airGuide dogs for the blind or deaf are allowed to travel free of charge in the cabin with their owner on local South African Airways, provided that they do not take up a seat and are harnessed. BuyMost shopping centres have wide marked disabled parking close to the entrances. Money templates and coin selectors can be purchased from the South African National Council for the Blind [1]. BanknotesSouth African banknotes are progressively larger in larger denominations. New banknotes have raised diamond shapes in the middle of the bottom half of each note for tactile identification.

Cyber Solutions Handbook
Making Sense of Standards and Frameworks
Read the Full Article
Today, chief information security officers (CISO) and their equivalents are facing increased responsibility amid a series of quickly evolving—and often enterprise-wide—challenges. Remediation-centric defense is not enough to combat current cyber threats, and CISOs must build an effective communication link between the server room and the board room in order to have an effective program.
Booz Allen Hamilton created the Cyber Solutions Handbook to provide pragmatic insight and assistance on how to address the key issues facing cybersecurity leaders today. This handbook provides context for the numerous cybersecurity standards and frameworks that exist with concrete recommendations for evolving the legacy mindset of program "compliance" to one of program maturity and risk-based security. Focusing on maturity—rather than "checking the box"—provides organizations both the flexibility and the comprehensive view necessary to manage their risks and achieve their goals.
What does it take?
- A deeper understanding of where your company wants to go and how your security program will help your company get there
- An honest assessment of your current maturity and a vision of where it needs to be
- Smart decisions about where you invest your limited resources.
Once relegated to the IT department, cybersecurity is now part of a company's core strategic planning and investment portfolio. Pressure is high to ensure that all of the company's assets and operations are secure; boards and executives are looking to CISOs for answers. Developing a robust maturity model is a significant undertaking, but there are existing models that can be used to rapidly evolve programs. Applying these models correctly, while taking into consideration the appropriate industry standards and frameworks, will align your security program to your organizational strategy and provide concrete and risk-based guidance on how you can advance your program to enable the business.
Cybersecurity is now a business enabler.
