Sep 2005 at 01:44 Urgent need to instal visual device at airport Rashmi Talwar Amritsar, September 6 International Airlines have voiced their serious concern over the absence of Runaway Visual Range (RVR) device at the international airport here. The device records visibility for clearance to aircrafts take-off or landing. They called for urgent installation of the device. The absence of RVR during winter or foggy season, when visibility is poor, could jeopardize flight schedules, causing loss of lakhs to operating airlines, they complain, it was argued. Airport Director V.S. Mulekar admitted to having received complaints from operating airlines besides queries from various new airlines about this. He stated that Airport Authority of Indian (AAI) had taken up issue with Meterological Department and a space had been demarcated near runaway. But he could not explain the delay. Seven airlines private/national have lodged complaints with the Director, AAI, for urgent steps to set up meterological device before the onset of winter as fogs, known to cover the area for many miles together, would lower visibility levels. The probability of delay or cancellation of flight remains high and apprehension lingers about human error, they said. As many as 45 flights had been operating weekly coping with passenger rush of three lakh per annum. Air Deccan, Indian Airlines, Uzbekistan Airlines, Ariana Afghan, Air India, Air Slovakia, Turkmenistan Airlines have expressed concern over the absence of the RVR device that was installed at most international airports. Malaysian and more Italian airlines were ready to launch their operations shortly. Many other international airlines too have expressed their keenness on this route.

Sep 2005 at 15:59 Passengers to have access to duty-free shopping at Rajasansi Airport Rashmi Talwar Flamingo Duty free, the first private duty-free outlet in India, has now glided into the Rajasansi International Airport here. The concern offers a wide array of products at competitive rates and claims to have been in the forefront to bring Indian duty-free industry at par with global standards. The shopping outlet can be approached both at the arrival and the departure terminals at the airport, though it is restricted presently to the passengers with international destinations. The flamingoes have already been operating in top-12 international airports in India, including those at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calicut, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Trichy, and now Amritsar is the latest addition, says the spokesperson of Flamingo Duty free. The concern comprises 25 shops in various airports selling a range of chocolates, perfumes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco, electronic items, including laptops, television sets, air conditioners and home appliances. Interestingly, one can find even Nido (milk powder), almonds and even pista at low prices, the concern claims. Some of the products are even cheaper than in gulf countries, say the owners. Offering personalised service experience, the outlet also promises a wider variety in products and special offers! Buttressing their claim, they contend that international tie-ups enable them to offer unmatchable prices and discounts to customers which are otherwise unattainable. The airport authorities have placed these shopping arenas beyond the baggage check-ins.

Sep 2005 at 23:04 Destination India for 2 US airlines Prabhjot Singh Tribune News Service Chandigarh, September 17 Impressed by nearly 10 per cent growth rate in international aviation in South Asia, two more American airlines Continental and American have decided to extend their operations to India from November 1 this year. While American Airlines will operate on Delhi-Chicago sector, Continental will air link Delhi with Newark in New Jersey. While North American air carriers are evincing interest in expanding Indian market, Air Canada, the only international air carrier operating a non-stop flight between New Delhi and Toronto, has decided to make a halt in Zurich, Switzerland. By end of October, the popular Delhi-Toronto-Delhi flight will be replaced by Delhi-Zurich-Toronto-Zurich-Delhi flight. While more and more international carriers, especially North American and European are interested in expanding their Delhi operations; South East Asian carriers continue to view [b]Amritsar as a major market. Another international air carrier eyeing Indian market in general and North India in particular is Malaysian airline, which wants to extend its operations to Amritsar. Though initially Malaysian airline was keen to start its Amritsar operations from November 1 this year, but the plan has been deferred for the time being. Malaysian will become second Asian airline after Singapore airline to extend its operations to Amritsar. Amritsar-Singapore flight helps passengers bound for various destinations in South east, down under (Australia-New Zealand) besides the Los Angeles and Vancouver sector of North America. Impressed by the success of Singapore airlines, Malaysian airlines, too, is keen to increase its share from the second north Indian air hub after Delhi. Sources in the aviation sector maintain that British Airways may soon extend its operations to Amritsar as it can cater to travel needs of Indian diaspora to almost entire Europe and North America.[/b] Back to top IP Logged musafir YaBB Newbies Posts: 0 Gender: Re: Latest news of Amritsar airport and it's fligh Reply #34 - 21. Sep 2005 at 23:08 Italian airliners keen to fly to more Indian cities Wednesday, 21 September , 2005, 08:57 New Delhi: The private sector and state-owned airlines from Italy are keen to operate to more Indian cities, including Chennai and Bangalore, the Italian Director General of Civil Aviation, Silvano Manera, has said. Today in Sify Finance "We will make a request to the Indian authorities to allow Italian airlines to operate to Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata. Besides, the private sector airline, Euroflight is keen to enter into an agreement with Air India to operate on the Rome-Delhi route. Similarly, the state-owned Alitalia is keen to operate on this route and is also examining the option of flying to Amritsar," Manera told Business Line on the sidelines of a conference organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry. At present, no airline from India operates to Italy while Alitalia operates direct flights between Italy and India. However, at least one more private sector airline - Blue Panorama apart from Euroflight and one cargo airliner - Ocean were keen to operate to India, Manera said. Manera will not only be meeting the Minister for Civil Aviation, Praful Patel, and Chairman, Airports Authority of India, K. Ramalingam, but also attempt to impress on the Indian authorities the need to schedule the air services bilateral talks between India and Italy at the earliest. Earlier this year, India and the UK agreed to a bilateral air services agreement that allows the airlines from the UK to operate as many flights as they want to any Indian airport except for Delhi and Mumbai where the increase will be gradual.

Oct 2005 at 00:27 Indus Airways to start ops by month-end Press Trust of India / New Delhi October 4, 2005 Indus Airways, promoted by Kapil Mohan of Mohan Meakins, is planning to launch operations by the end of the month. The airlines would be operating from Delhi and Mumbai with two 50 seater Canadian regional jets (CRJs). "The CRJ-200s, leased from Lufthansa, would be inducted in the coming weeks and three more would join the fleet by the year end," Kapil Mohan said. The CRJs would operate in a single-class configuration, and would be fitted with executive class seats, Mohan added. Indus Airways is planning to operate flights to cities like Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jammu, Ahmedabad, Bhopal and Indore.

Oct 2005 at 18:27 Indus Airways -- the origin of India By Deepak Arora NEW DELHI: The Indian economy is growing at a galloping pace. It grew a robust 8.1 percent in the April-June 2005 quarter from a year ago, lifted by strong manufacturing as well as services such as banking and tourism. India has become the second most favoured destination for investments. With the opening up of the aviation sector for the private sector, more and more airlines are planning to commence flights. New airlines that are planning to take to wings are Jeh Wadia's GoAir and Coimbatore-headquartered Paramount Airways. Another airline that is planning to commence operations by October-end is Indus Airways -- the origin of India. Indus is obtaining two 50-seater CRJ-200 from Lufthansa in the next couple of weeks with the buyback lease of five years. Three more CRJ-200s would join the fleet by the year-end, according to Brig Kapil Mohan, Chairman of Mohan Meakins. To expand its connectivity, the Chairman said the airline would purchase two 75-seater CRJ-700s and three Boeing 737-800 aircraft in 2006 taking its strength to ten. Brig Kapil Mohan, who is also Chairman of Indus Airways and is the main promoter of the airline, said the actual date of the launch in October was being worked out with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and would be announced soon. Besides Brig Kapil Mohan, Indus Airways has three Directors on the Board including Mr Krishan Gopal Beri, who is Managing Director of M/s Beri and Beri Cold Storage and General Mills (P) Ltd; Mr Parminder Lakhanpal, a London-based NRI; and Mr Baldev Seth, a garment exporter. Mr Amarjit Sangha, a Toronto-based NRI, is one of the investors in the airline that has a starting equity base of Rs 10 crore. The airline plans to launch operations on two sectors. First being Delhi-Chandigarh-Mumbai-Jammu and return and the second sector being Delhi-Amritsar-Mumbai-Goa and return. "These are hitherto unconnected sectors and have a huge potential," he said. The CRJs would operate in a single class configuration and would be fitted with executive class seats. While foreign pilots would operate the aircraft, Indus Airways has sent several Indian pilots to Montreal for being trained on the CRJs. He said the airline would provide "very reasonable fares with best of frills." On the long-haul flights, he said the airline would provide good quality food for which we have hired some specialists. He said "it will be service with a smile." Brig Kapil Mohan, who is known is known as a doer, said "the airline has hired professionals to take the airline to new heights in the Indian aviation." He said the airline has hired two best aviators for its operations in Northern and Central and Southern India. Capt A P C Kapoor, ex-Director (operations) Air India and a senior Commander and instructor of Boeing 747-400, would be based in Mumbai and head the operations of Central and Southern India. Similarly, Capt M S Sandhu, ex-General Manager, Air India and Boeing 747 instructor, would be based in Chandigarh and head the operations of Northern India. Mr G S Bankoti, also ex-Air India, would look after Administration and Safety. The airline has also hired 10 foreign pilots and 10 Indian co-pilots, 20-cabin crew and 20 ground staff, and six engineers. Airline's full-fledged reservation system would be in place shortly, said Mr Krishan Gopal Beri and added that both the aircraft would be based in Delhi. Mr Beri said the emphasis would be on quality - be it food, service or in-flight comforts. He said there would also be emphasis on on-time performance and intelligent schedules. "In other words, a passenger could catch a flight early morning and return home by night after completing his task. That will also save him on his hotel bills." He said the company would offer honest and straightforward flat fares. Designed to provide superior efficiencies to small operators and major airlines alike, Mr Baldev Seth said the Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft has firmly established itself as the world's quietest and most environmentally friendly commercial jet aircraft. He said the aircraft's 50-seat capacity and low trip cost -- fuel burn is 10 per cent less than its nearest competitor -- allow airlines to provide jet services on routes where low load factors make larger jet aircraft unprofitable. Mr Seth said the Bombardier CRJ200 can extend the range from hub airports or bypass congested hubs for more non-stop services between cities in smaller markets. The aircraft complements some bigger jets by flying their routes at off-peak times of day, allowing airlines to maintain the all-important flight frequency. Mr Amarjeet Sangha said the 64- to 70- passenger Bombardier CRJ700 Series 701 and 75-seat Bombardier CRJ700 Series 705 are members of the highly successful Bombardier CRJ family of regional jets. Ever since entering service over a decade ago, the Bombardier CRJ has changed the way people travel. Today, more than 1,200 Bombardier CRJ aircraft fly with operators large and small all over the world. The first Bombardier CRJ100 was delivered to Lufthansa in 1992, after the initial flight in November 1991. In 1996, the Bombardier CRJ200 was launched with higher performance engines. The Bombardier CRJ700 made its maiden flight in May 1999 and was delivered to inaugural customer Brit Air/Air France in January 2001.

Oct 2005 at 06:33 Poor civic amenities at Rajasansi airport Roop Gill While the Rajasansi International Airport is supposedly being upgraded by the authorities, the conveniences offered there have gone into a downward spiral. The two lavatories in the departure waiting lounge are stinking to knock a weak hearted person out of his senses. The flushes are out of order and the ventilators in the back wall are low enough to help a passerby have a look into the activity going on inside the loo. The most shocking experience one would have there is in corner of the hall having two large water coolers attached to two water filters, out of which one is out of order while the other had only one outlet tap giving out a weak squirt of the natures nectar. Even this was stopped allegedly by the contractor of the canteen to mint money from the sale his products. The disappointed visitors have to buy a mineral water bottle, which is being sold at much higher rates than its market price in the canteen, located in one corner of the lounge. On being asked the canteen boy admitted that Asi dehd lakh da theka aive ta nahi leya, kujh kamauna vi ta hai (we have received a contract for Rs 1.5 lakh and must earn from it) was his bashful reply. Further, the condition of mineral water bottles did not require a journalists eye to swear by the fact that the bottle had been filled up from tap and then sealed off manually. The experience at the airport upsets many passengers and brings bad repute to the nation and its authorities, many say.

Nov 2005 at 13:58 Ariana Afghan temporarily suspends operations Our Correspondent Rajasansi (Amritsar), November 23 Afghanistan airlines Ariana Afghan, the first to start international flight between Amritsar and Kabul, has temporarily suspended its operations due to the non-feasibility of cargo and flight passengers. According to internal feasibility report of the airlines, the non-commissioning of cargo terminal and loss of passenger booking, including business travellers to the war-ravaged country has been the main hurdle. The flight was operating once a week earlier, but in the past six months only six flights took off. Only one flight took off last month and no flight has taken off this month, admitted Mr Prithvi Raj, Manager, Ariana Afghan. The killing of a kidnapped Indian in Afghanistan has further created tension and would adversely affect the flight operations. The fact that Delhi airport was better equipped for cargo-handling with lesser costs to exporters/ importers, has attracted bulk of operations from Kabul. Besides facilities for re-routing goods arriving from several countries to Kabul, it was favoured for international aid, re-building and construction contracts worth crores.

Nov 2005 at 14:00 Upgrade Rajasansi Airport to tap tourism potential of Punjab Varinder Singh Tribune News Service Jalandhar, November 20 To mitigate the problems faced by NRIs and other Punjabis in boarding international flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport, it is imperative that Rajasansi Airport near Amritsar be developed into an international airport complete with all facilities. The Punjab government should take up the matter concerning the expansion of Rajasansi Airport with the Centre immediately. Also, efforts should be made to convert the Jalandhar-Amritsar and Jalandhar-Pathankot roads into six-lane roads. This was observed by Dr Manohar Singh Gill, MP and former Chief Election Commission of India, who was here to inaugurate the Lala Lajpat Rai College of Nursing Education set up by the Gulab Devi Memorial Hospital Trust on the premises of Gulab Devi Hospital here today. Mr Gill said about 45 per cent of foreign travellers, who took flights to different countries from Delhi Airport were from Punjab. They faced many problems in going to Delhi and taking the flight from the airport there. The problems also kept foreign tourists at bay and discouraged them, despite the fact that Punjab was a good tourist destination, he added. Expansion of Amritsar airport will not only offer more facilities to NRIs and tourists, but would also give a boost to the economy of Punjab. More tourists would get attracted to the state, which has a large number of historical places, he said. He also suggested that to give a fillip to trade and industry, an International Export Centre could be set up in Punjab, from where agricultural produce, including fresh vegetables, could be exported to the Gulf and other countries. The proposed centre could also export apples from Himachal, and Jammu and Kashmir, and in turn, the revenue of these two states could increase, and farmers could benefit from the export of their crop. Lamenting that sportspersons (apart from cricketers) were not being encouraged in Punjab, he said, Budding sportspersons from Punjab have a great potential, but this needs to be tapped. For this, they need better facilities. Laying emphasis on the need to educate women, he said education was the real gift that parents and society could give to girls. Education enables a woman to fight against all odds, he said, adding that there was a great demand for Indian nurses in foreign countries. Ms G. Bajwa, Principal of the College of Nursing, Gulab Devi Hospital, also spoke on the occasion.

Nov 2005 at 21:20 Lanka explores options to boost air links with India CORPORATE BUREAU Posted online: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 at 0000 hours IST NEW DELHI, NOV 28: In a bid to further boost tourist inflows from India, Sri Lanka is looking at expanding its air services to more cities, including Ahmedabad, Goa and Kolkata. The island nation which currently operates the largest number of international flights from India about 90 a week is looking to start at least three flights from each of the new destinations by March 2006. The neighbouring country is also exploring possibilities of starting air services from Colombo to Amritsar. The Punjab government presented a draft MoU to this effect to the Sri Lanka Tourist Board (SLTB) on Monday. Additionally, the country is also looking at starting ferry services between the two countries, Sri Lanka Tourism Board chairman Udaya Nanayakkar told reporters. India accounted for the single largest chunk of arrivals 21% into Sri Lanka totalling 82,434 for the first nine months of calendar year 2005, reflecting a 21.5% growth over 2004. Tourist arrivals from India will exceed one lakh in 2005 and are expected to exceed 2.5 lakh by the end of the decade, Mr Nanayakkar said. Meanwhile, Sri Lankas tourism industry the fourth largest contributor at $430 million in 2004 to that countrys GDP has rebounded strongly following the devastating effects of the tsunami which hit the country in December 2004. According to the SLTB chief, visitor arrivals in the first nine months of the year have reached 4,05,585, recording an increase of 8% over the same period of January-September in 2004. The country is now expecting the peak tourist season from November to March to be another record year, with projections indicating that visitor arrivals will exceed the five lakh mark for the third consecutive year. Elaborating further, Mr Nanayakkar said that a few Indian hospitality majors have also shown keen interest in developing hotels in the country. Apart from the Taj Group, which currently has three properties and is now investing in developing the fourth, two more investors are keen to invest in developing 200-room hotels in Sri Lanka, he added.

The passengers were stranded here for over 12 hours last night. The spokesman of Air Slovakia, Mr G.P. Singh, said this was perhaps for the first time that this unsavory situation occurred as they had valid permission but due to communication gap, the Iranian air controller refused permission to overfly its territory and plane had to return to Amritsar. He added that the confusion was further compounded as yesterday being Sunday holiday in both India and Iran and as such they were unable to take permission from the higher authorities. The flight took off this morning after due permission was accorded today from both the governments. In the meanwhile, due to inclement weather in Kabul, the scheduled Jeddah-Dubai-Kabul flight of Airana-Afgan airlines had to be diverted to Rajasansi airport this morning. According to the local manager, Mr Prithivi Raj Dhiman, the flight took off after two hours when the weather cleared over Kabul.

Concept 066
Walking Tightrope
The walking-the-tightrope concept can be applied to many situations: decision making, negotiating a narrow opportunity, finding a niche, careful progress, and so on. There are two versions of these illustrations:
- V01, 03, and 05 is a PowerPoint download that contains the illustrations broken up into separate fields. These fields can be colored like clipart. Applying color can sync the illustration to your template (hues of your template colors, as in the example above) or you can make it look realistic (brown hair, blue eyes, etc., without regard to template color considerations).
- V02, 04, and 06 is a PowerPoint download that contains the illustrations in PNG format, which cannot be broken up or edited. They are available for use as a black and white illustration, which may work just fine for you. Using the PNG format means that you don't have to deal with many fields. If you are using PowerPoint 2007, however, you can recolor the PNGs using the picture recoloring option.
Each of the two versions have the full series of Stanleys in the download. This assures that the sizing is exact and ready for your use. Remember, as with all groups of illustrations or graphics, if you need to resize, resize them all together as a group. Then ungroup and redistribute to their proper place in the presentation.
Be sure to check the tutorial for formatting and animation techniques. Also, be sure to download the animated example to see Stanley teeter on the wire. The animation is very subtle, so it will not distract from the message you are conveying – just enough to add a little interest.
Please be aware that the download files are a little larger than most PowerFrameworks downloads. It may take a few seconds longer, so don't be alarmed.

Description: So here is the tutorial that I told you I would upload. It's the keyboardist from the band Motionless in White, and his name is Josh Balz. Unfortunately like many members of these types of bands, there is virtually no information on Joshua Balz that I can find whatsoever. All I know is that he plays the keyboards/piano for MIW, he uses a Roland Fantom G6 as well as a Peavey Keyboard amp. He was born September 10th but I'm not sure of the year. I think the year of his birth is either 1990 or 1989. Of course I'm basing the year on his age of twenty two. I think I read somewhere that he is also a tattoo artist, but I could be wrong. He has piercings above his top lip on each side of his mouth. He is said to be a lady killer because so many girls just love Joshua Balz. Anyways, this lesson was pretty fun to create because Josh has a real pleasant looking face to draw. So I'm sure that you will enjoy drawing Joshua Blaz, step by step from Motionless in White. I will be back tomorrow with some more drawing fun so be sure to come back to see what will be added new to Dragoart.com. P.S., did you guys realize that there is now over 7,000 tuts on the site...yay! Thank you to all that have contributed to Dragoart, and be sure that you keep up all the excellent work!

Why PM Programs Do Not Significantly Reduce Reactive Maintenance
EP Editorial Staff | June 1, 2001
Your company probably has an extensive preventive maintenance (PM) program in place. In spite of all the PMs, you are still finding that well over 50 percent of your maintenance work is reactive maintenance. Sound familiar?
This is a very common problem. There are many companies that have extensive PM programs but are finding that they are not making significant headway in reducing the number of breakdowns. I have personally worked in a company that did a lot of PMs, but 75 percent of its work was reactive. In my latest roleÝ in consulting I have seen that most companies today are experiencing this same problem. On average between 50-60 percent of total maintenance work is reactive.
Before proceeding let me first define what I mean by PM programs. PMs are time-based overhauls on assets. They are jobs that are scheduled at regular intervals either based on calendars–replace filters every 6 months, or based on readings–change filters every 5,000 operating hours.
Companies have invested millions of dollars over the years to develop, implement, and sustain their PM programs. Why then, do so many companies that have comprehensive PM programs still find that 50 to 60 percent of their maintenance work is corrective or reactive maintenance? Isn't the purpose of the PM program to keep the equipment in proper working order to ensure that failures don't happen?
Before answering these questions, I would like to review the history of maintenance to see what led companies to utilize PMs in the first place.
The first generation of maintenance viewed equipment failures as fitting one pattern. As equipment got older it deteriorated and eventually failed. At this time most companies just ran equipment to failure. However, some companies started to recognize that ancillary damage caused by running equipment to failure was expensive. Since it was thought that all equipment deteriorated at a fixed rate over time, they tried to determine when it was likely to fail and schedule an overhaul to restore the equipment andÝ avoid the failure and ancillary damage. This was the birth of PM.
During the second generation of maintenance, most companies started embracing PM
We are now in the third generation of maintenance. We know that there are actually six different equipment failure patterns. Three are age related, but the other three follow random failure patterns, with no relationship to age. Research has shown that less than 20 percent of equipment follows age-related failure patterns; the other 80 percent are random.
Now let's get back to the original question. Why don't PMs significantly reduce the amount of reactive maintenance being performed in your plant? The answer is simple. PMs were designed around the theory that equipment failures are directly related to the age of the equipment. Since only 20 percent of equipment failures fit this pattern that means that 80 percent of equipment failures are not being effectively managed by doing time-based PMs.
What's the answer? The key to significantly reducing equipment failures is to monitor the condition of your equipment. Random failures do not adhere to any specific pattern and therefore the only way to effectively manage these types of failures is to closely monitor the key indicators-vibration, hot spots, leaks, cracks, etc. New technologies such as predictive maintenance devices combined with advanced methodologies such as reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) are now making it possible to easily determine what indicators need to be monitored and how to monitor them.
Remember the company I said I worked for that was doing 75 percent reactive maintenance work? Well we implemented a comprehensive condition based maintenance program combined with RCM and that company is now experiencing only 20 percent reactive maintenance with a goal to get to 10 percent. So now that you know why your PM program isn't working the way you hoped it would, it is time to do something about it. The tools and technologies are there. I strongly urge you to take the plunge. The payoff will be tremendous. MT

Snap o' the Day: Norfolk's light rail
Construction of Norfolk's 7.4-mile, $232 million (or $288 million) light rail system advances as seen here in this March 20 view of its elevated tracks near Norfolk State University (which just happens to be the alma mater of Virginia Festival of the Book speaker Tim Reid).
More Snaps

Meredith Richards, Norfolk needs you. As Charlottesville and Lynchburg celebrate the soon to be expanded Amtrak train service ---looks like citizens of Norfolk will have a train to get around their city but not one to get out of it.
From the Virginia Pilot " Train Service is picking up but not for this trackless town "
"Along the East Coast, Amtrak is a dependable and a mildly popular way to get from here to there. Across Virginia, it is a legitimate form of transportation with more than a million riders, up more than 5 percent over a year ago. Nationally, ridership has increased for each of the past six years.
It's just that here, it feels like we missed the train. Which makes sense. There are no tracks. No station either. Just two curbside drop-off points in Norfolk and the Beach. Smaller areas such as Clifton Forge, Culpeper, Danville, Springfield, Lynchburg and a list of other, less-populated regions all have better service."
"Light"? This thing looks as if it were designed by the antediluvian engineers from Amtrak. Can't wait to see what kind of cornfed pigs they're planning to run on it.
Light rail would be an order of magnitude more affordable if the designers lived in this century. Perhaps an X-Prize competition would supply enough motivation to get it right. (Yes, I have an entry ready.)
I think it's total BS that they can take an entire parking lot & block a whole street for this project. Not to mention the city re-bricking the mall at the same time. Are they trying to kill all the business' downtown at once?

by Richard Fernandez
It is not an easy task to describe traveling to more than 75 countries, primarily in the Third World, over a period of nearly 50 years. Mt. Airy resident Stanley Diamond's reflections, available in soft cover from Amazon.com, provide the reader with enough practical information to plan a trip in the Third World. It has enough description of out-of-the-way sights and experiences to excite and inspire a would-be traveler. There are enough scary occurrences to make one wonder why on earth Diamond, accompanied by wife Beverly, would ever embark on so many problematic adventures.
(Diamond's book, "What's an American Doing Here? Reflections on Travel in the Third World," $16.95, was published by Eloquent Books in Durham, Connecticut. Publisher's Web site: www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/WhatsAnAmericanDoingHere.html.)
It is the juxtaposition of their rather simple and ordinary life in Mt. Airy with their Third World travel that causes one to take notice. They raised three children and now enjoy five grandchildren. Stanley and wife Beverly taught or served in an administrative role in schools (until their recent retirement). They have enjoyed biking and tennis and have always enjoyed a rather quiet social life.
But they also travel!
Although this volume is not a "how to" book, the fact is that Diamond sketches out some very practical advice on how one might plan a trip and what to expect in Third World travel. Although he understands why some would be concerned about edible food, medical availability, clean sheets and safe streets in Third World travel, he doesn't believe that super-sensitive caution about these matters should rule the day.
Diamond says, "Many foreign travelers seem to feel that out-of-the-way places offer titillating opportunities rather than precarious and life-threatening undertakings. That makes me suspect that it is the traveler's background and reluctance to take risks that are more at issue … than are the actual problems one is likely to encounter."
Diamond underscores the need for travelers to do sufficient homework in planning their travel so that they can actually feel in control of their schedule. The Diamonds did not, as a rule, rely on local guides. They used guides when they knew language would be an issue. (Stanley speaks Spanish, German and Italian.) Typically, Diamond would do enough research to be able to sketch out his preferred itinerary and then work with two or three agents he located on the internet. He promptly backed away from agents who wanted to send them on a pre-planned generic trip.
For the Diamonds, control usually meant traveling independently. Only on very rare occasions have they allowed themselves to be part of a group. Diamond puts it this way: "We want control of our journey – our itinerary, our time, housing, eating, visits and just about everything else – insofar as that is possible … I cannot stop a busload of fellow travelers to take a photo of people along side the road. I cannot ask other folks to wait while Bev and I stroll leisurely through an interesting market or walk the back paths of a small village."
The chapters on "Survival" and "Big Pills, Little Pills" are scary, informative and at times humorous. After suggesting earlier in the book that Third World travelers would do best to lighten up on their fears, the author then tells story after story that made me anxious in just reading the tales. Here are a just a few situations the Diamonds have found themselves in during their travels:
•Traversing the Mahakam River in Central Borneo in Indonesia, they had to transfer from one small houseboat to another after their engine was struck by a floating log. On their first night, it rained unmercifully, and after closing the canvas around them to keep the rain out, Diamond writes, "It must have 95 degrees … and we were attacked by a thousand little flying things."
•On the way back from visiting a Mayan site, their van, carrying about eight tourists, was stopped by bandits wielding AK-47's. After having a gun pointed at his head, Diamond gave the bandit some loose change. They also took Beverly's camera.
•In attending a Buddhist festival in Kataragama, Sir Lanka, the Diamonds left their shoes at the door of a holy place, having been assured by their guide that they would be safe. Upon leaving, their shoes were missing. Having lost his only pair of walking shoes, sandals had to suffice for the next several days. Diamond affirms the magnificence of the festival and asks the reader to let him know if they see a farmer in Sri Lanka walking around in Rockports.
•Traveling down the Li River in China, where the scenery was quite beautiful but the water was not an "inviting" place to swim, Beverly wondered after having lunch, where the dishes were washed. Stanley had no idea. Just a few minutes later, the riddle was solved. An identical river boat passed them going the opposite way. On the very end of the ship, waiters were washing the dishes in the water of the Li River!
•In the 1980s, after arriving in Rangoon, Burma (before the country was renamed Myanmar), the author experienced a very sharp pain in his abdomen. After failing in their attempts to contact the American doctor at the U.S Embassy, the Diamonds sought out a local doctor with some trepidation since medicine in that country "was reputed to be in the 1920s." A doctor, who looked about 20, arrived with a nurse trailing behind carrying a little black bag. He gave Stanley a pill the size "of a ping pong ball" telling him he had an abdominal strain. Diamond did what all good patients do: he consumed the pill. Not altogether satisfied with the indigenous doctor's diagnosis, later that day the Diamonds managed to see the embassy doctor, who said Stanley had a kidney stone and had to get to Bangkok fast to get good medical care. One day later, after the embassy pulled a few strings, the Diamonds, resting in a very nice room in a fine Bangkok hospital, learned that he did not have a kidney stone but an abdominal strain. The ping pong-sized pill must have worked, as the author was released from the hospital one day later.
In the chapter on "Just Having Fun" one cannot help but be struck by the insatiable curiosity of the author. This is a characteristic that permeates the entire book but is most evident in this chapter.
Spending an entire day driving together on a moped in pouring rain around Vientiane, Laos, with Beverly sitting behind driver-Stanley and holding an umbrella over their heads still causes them to chuckle. On another trip they spontaneously jumped on another moped in Danang, Vietnam, and headed off to the ancient city of Hoi An. So what if they got lost on the way? Friendly people helped them turn around and get to Hoi An in plenty of time to visit and enjoy the markets, old houses and temples.
The Diamonds took a few days to visit the Island of Lombok, which is in the Lower Sunda chain east of Bali and part of the province of Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. At breakfast in their small hotel, the author, in conversation with his waiter, said he would be interested in visiting a wedding or funeral service. The young waiter, Zohri, said there was to be a funeral near his hometown, and serving as Stan's interpreter, with Stan behind the wheel of his rented vehicle, they headed off on their venture (leaving Beverly behind by her choice to relax for a day). It was a full day of visiting small villages, observing unique weaving practices and, most of all, spending time with Zohri's family at their home. That the author was not able to see the funeral they had set out to see because it was postponed, in no way diminished his enthusiasm for a memorable experience.
Fun for the Diamonds wore many faces but was everywhere available: "Fun included trips into mines in Bolivia and Brazil, scuba diving without certification in the South Pacific, getting tipsy on vodka in 'Cold War' Russia or on the local liquors on Monkey Island Road in Bali. Fun was bargaining for native products and realizing that there was only a nickel difference between our offer and the asking price."
The chapters on "Politics and Travel" and "Byproducts" were very interesting but not nearly as captivating as the other chapters where curiosity, adventure and risk-taking were everywhere present. "What's An American Doing Here?" is a good book for would-be Third World travelers or those who have already begun or concluded their Third World travel. It is an even better read for those who appreciate unbounded curiosity.

Originally posted July, 2009. Still relevant.
Every third movie made today is based on a comic book. Comic book writers also are writers of movies, TV shows and New York Times bestselling novels. Comic book artists often work as art directors on movies and TV shows. The public is interested in the characters. The public loves the writers. The public loves the artists.
So what's the problem? Why are there only a half million comic book fans in a nation of 300 million people? Because comics are misunderstood, too expensive, and too hard to find. I have a plan to overcome all three of these problems, and save an American art form from disappearing.
I started reading comics in 1983. Comics were sixty cents each. According to the Inflation Calculator, that would be $1.28 in today's dollars.
Over the years, the price rose steadily. It was something like this: $.60, $.75, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50, $1.99, $2.25, $2.99, and then, suddenly, $3.99. Over the past month, the price of an average new comic went up a full dollar. In fact, that $2.99 price tag was still pretty fresh, so it feels like a jump from $2.25 to $3.99 in a single bound. Three ninety-nine is so outrageous a price that every time I type it my fingers want to backspace over my mistake. My brain can't catch up.
This month, for the first time since 1983, my comic book intake is going to drop from 10 books to three - Dark Horse Comics are still $2.99.
I'm not abandoning the art form entirely. There are lots of fantastic deals out there right now in the back issue market. Comics from two years ago can be had in some places now for less than two dollars. There is also a huge market for used trade paperbacks (reprint collections) on Amazon.com and at used bookstores. So, I'll actually be able to read more comics now that I've given up on buying new ones. But I will miss the immediacy of buying them as they are published. I will have to avoid spoilers when I read articles about comics. When something big happens, I'll be the last to know. It's sort of like reading last year's newspapers for entertainment. I'm saddened that I've been priced out of my hobby. But I'm more irritated than I am sad. It doesn't have to be this way.
My subscription to Wired magazine costs me twelve dollars a year. My subscription to Rolling Stone is free. I didn't even ask for it. It just started showing up one day. I also have free magazines arriving a couple of times a month that are related to my profession, computer programming. Who pays for my magazines? Advertisers. They also pay for my television shows, and most of the Internet content I consume. The comic book industry needs more advertisers. Why don't we have enough of them? Because comics are misunderstood, too expensive, and too hard to find. (Didn't I already say that?) Let's clear up some misperceptions, and more people will want to sell their goods to comic book fans.
Who are the current comic book fans? In my experience, they are mostly men between the ages of 17 and 45 with disposable income. They are readers. They are collectors. They are generally interested in technology and pop culture. They are usually very intelligent. They drive cars. They drink Coke. They use toilet paper. They have high cholesterol. They vote. They are, essentially, the same group as readers of Wired. If the people advertising in Wired or Rolling Stone would also advertise in comics, then a one year comic book subscription would cost ten bucks instead of twenty five. (Comics are 30% to 50% off if you buy a subscription and let the Post Office mutilate them.)
Comic Book fans need desperately to identify themselves as consumers so that businesses with products will pick up the tab for their entertainment. Comic books are too expensive because they are misunderstood.
The new $3.99/issue price tag cannot be justified in terms of its entertainment value (about 15 to 20 minutes). That price can only be seen as reasonable by someone foolish enough to believe they will one day be able to sell it for at least three dollars. That will happen occasionally, but not nearly often enough to make the hobby sustainable.
I gave up on the idea that my comic book collection would one day pay off financially way back in 1994. Ain't gonna happen. I READ comics. I try to keep them in nice shape, just in case, but I have no delusions. I am not an investor. This is typical. Most comics are bought these days in the form of "trade paperbacks," book collections of six to twelve issues of a monthly comic. These are not collector's items. They are reprints, worthless except as entertainment. And they are very popular.
There's an opportunity here. If most comic book readers are in it for the entertainment value and not for the hope of financial gain, then why must every book, every month, be packaged as a collectible? I want to see comics packaged like a Brides magazine, or Computer Shopper. I want there to be 500 pages in every issue. If I could buy a 500 page comic book every month for $4.95, I wouldn't care if the paper was thin and prone to tearing. I wouldn't care if it had sat on the shelf crooked and the corners were all bent. I wouldn't care if there was a subscription crease down the center of it. I would even bend the cover back when I read it. These are all things I care deeply about ONLY because I've been paying $2.99 for 24 pages of story. If comics were worth the money based solely on the entertainment value they offer, then I wouldn't mind buying a crinkled copy.
The idea of "comics as collectibles" is the reason you can't buy them at Wal-mart or in gas stations anymore. I witnessed Wal-mart testing comic book sales once a few years ago. They carried them in the toy department, even though almost none of them had been written for children. They were in a metal rack and most of them had been folded one direction or another. If comics were priced as cheap entertainment instead of as collectibles, this would not have been such a nightmare. If comics readers were not so misunderstood, these comics would have been with the magazines instead of with the toys. Comic books are too hard to find because they are misunderstood and too expensive.
Put out a comic book with 500 pages for 5 bucks, and certain problems will disappear instantly:
The content for these 500 page bridal-magazine-sized monthly behemoth comic books should come from comics that were published three months ago. This way the collectible market can keep on trucking.
In June 2009, Marvel is publishing 99 comics. That's a really impressive output. That's about 2000 pages a month, so they could likely put out a 500 page book every week. The vast majority of their books are suitable for teens and up. They have a kids line of comics, but it isn't large enough to separate into its own 500-pager, unless they did it just once a year. Marvel also has an Explicit Content line, MAX, but the output under that imprint is small. Also, Marvel has a policy to NEVER sell MAX books on "the newsstand," by which they mean Wal-mart and gas stations.
DC could do exactly the same thing: Three 500 page books of their mainstream titles for teens and up, one 200 page Johnny DC book for the children, one 375 page book for their WildStorm group of comics, and one 300 page Vertigo book for their "mature readers" line.
Dark Horse could do a book, Image could do one, Dynamite could do one. At five dollars a pop I'd buy them all. Independent comics would get way more exposure than they are getting right now. They might be half the size of the big two's monthly collections, but they'd still be a good value at $5.
Gas stations and retail stores, record shops, game stores, toy stores... They could all carry the collections appropriate for their patrons. It would be such a great value that everyone would make a profit selling them, and the nation would be entertained by reading them. There are great stories being told by amazingly talented and dedicated writers and artists that would finally be given the readership and popularity they deserve.
Now, imagine what would happen to the comic book back issue industry, your friendly neighborhood comic book shop, if suddenly there were 25 million comic book fans instead of a half million. Think that's impossible? Then explain how The Dark Knight grossed over 500 million dollars in the US last year. There are a lot more than a half million fans of these characters. There is a massive potential market for comics that is completely untapped because comics are misunderstood (because they are underground), too expensive (because they are manufactured as collectibles, and they haven't won the support of enough advertisers), and too hard to find (because they are underground collectibles instead of disposable entertainment). The "500 page comics for 5 bucks" plan solves all of these problems in one fell swoop.
So, Comic Book Publishers: Do this and save the comic book as a viable commercial art form. Ignore this and watch your audience dwindle more and more until no one is left to care about your work.
The increase in the number of comic book fans will be a boon to Comic Shops. They won't seem like strange places anymore. One day, there might even be girls there. Girls go see superhero movies. They watch television shows like Lost, Heroes, and Law & Order, where comic book creator's names are all through the credits. It's a bizarre accident of history that our favorite storytelling medium lost an entire gender of its audience. With comics mainstream again, this could be corrected.

From a reader named Mark: This is an essay from a former University of Wisconsin-Parkside wrestler for an intro to writing class.
He was red-shirted at the time this was written, and he ended up getting kicked out of the class for the semester because it was so bad, which contributed to a tailspin that ended with him getting kicked out of school altogether before even wrestling an NCAA meet or non-open event.
The assignment was to compare a historical figure to someone in modern times. I'm sure the teacher was looking for papers that compared Rockefeller to Bill Gates as titans of industry, or something similar, but what Eric did was compare Ulysses S Grant to our friend Jimmy.
As you can see, he used Microsoft Word's thesaurus heavily on this paper while trying to camouflage the ridiculousness in a sea of fancy words. All of the information in the paper is accurate-ish (they both really are/were drunks), but not exactly in the intent of the assignment.
Ulysses S Grant is and would be a hard man to compare to anyone, yet if anyone I know my friend James most closely relates to him better than any that I can ponder. To compare and contrast these two would be saying more than one can think, sometimes boggling the mind and putting oneself into a state of utter confusion.
As Grants love for horses began at a young age so did James'. James was said to have almost mastered horseman-ship by the age of 9. He is only surpassed by Grant, as James has never learned to break or train a horse because in this day and age the era of doing so has little but died. One might wonder what skill and time is taken doing so? The truth is that James had little outside life from his studies and horseman-ship, and spent most of his time reading such books as "The Art of War" and Anne frank's diary.
Rumors said that Grant drank too much, as is said about James. Grant was said to have drinking binges, but there was little evidence of this. James was introduced to the dry martini at the very young age of 14. It's sorry to say, but his mother's love for antiques and late night TV only surpassed this drink. James would binge drink and make outrageous claims like he wrote the dictionary, but ever so slightly would slip out of theses so called binges to seemingly accomplish another great task.
You might hear rumors and speculations, on the fact that little to none of this information is valid about James, and he sounds more like a fictional character, but none can anticipate what one normal person can accomplish in a lifetime.
Again, I'm gonna give Eric the benefit of the doubt considering he obviously didn't get a pass for this. In fact, I like his creativity. But please continue to send these in. Remember the goal, though: we'd like to showcase those athletes who do nothing but pollute the college education system in return for their contributions to their school's sports teams. Read more about it here. Help us help you shame them. As you were.

I've spent today getting back to work after a kidney infection. I felt rough. It was nothing compared to how I felt when I finally checked back in with the worlds of Twitter and Facebook, however.
Reports have been circling all day, that four photojournalists had been killed and/or injured while working on the front line in Misrata, Libya. The reports were contradicting each other as to the number who had died, so I waited until it became clear.
It has now been confirmed, by the UK Foreign Office (via The Telegraph) that the photojournalist and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, Tim Hetherington was killed. Two other photographers (Chris Hondros and Guy Martin) are seriously injured, in a critical condition (Hondros has been reported to be in a coma as this post was being published). A further photographer, freelancer Michael Brown, was injured but is not in a serious condition.
Update It has now been confirmed by Getty that Chris Hondros has also died from the injuries he sustained in the blast in Libya.
Update Anastasia Taylor-Lind, friend of Guy Martin has tweeted to state "Horrific news from Libya today. My dear friend Guy Martin is in a bad way but has been stabilized in Misurata. Praying he pulls through x" She has further said that his condition is still, however, critical. I have my fingers crossed, and wish the best to all who know him.
NY Times has updatedstating that "Mr. Martin, a British citizen, underwent vascular surgery on Wednesday night, according to the same account. As the night progressed, Mr. Liohn said that Mr. Martin's bleeding had been stopped and that his prospects had improved." I am still hopeful that he will survive.
Update Guy Martin's family have today (Thurs, 21st April, 2011) issued a statement to say that Guy's condition is "serious, but stable". More details can be found here
Update C.J. Chivers reports on how the bodies of Tim and Chris began their journey home swiftly.
The news was first reported, using social media sites, by André Liohn, a colleague who was at the hospital where all involved were taken. According to the early reports, the incident happened when they were working together and were hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
Tim Hetherington was born in Liverpool, a city which is soon to host it's first photography festival, Look11. The theme for the festival is "Social Justice" in keeping with 2011 being the year of social justice in Liverpool, coming 30 years after the Toxteth riots. The Look11 Festival Artistic Director, Stephen Snoddy, is already seeking a way inwhich Tim's contribution to both photography and the wider world may be suitably remembered within this Festival.
As I wrote on the first Facebook report I read of this sad news, my deepest condolences and sincerest thoughts go out to all the families and friends of those involved in today's tragedy. It is a sad, sad loss, and the loss to the world of photography is only a small fraction of its true magnitude.
Last year, Tim created "Diary" described as a "personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of reporting. It's a kaleidoscope of images that link our western reality to the seemingly distant worlds we see in the media." This 20-minute work can be viewed here.
Update: Statement From Look11
Tim Hetherington features this year in Look11, Liverpool's photography festival which is centred around social justice and throws focus on the role of photographers and in particular the work of documentary photographers and photojournalists. The work of Tim will be presented in a show entitled 'Collateral Damage' exploring images associated with atrocity that do not depict the actual act of violence or the victim itself, but rather depicts the circumstances around which such acts occurred. Hethrington's contribution to the show includes some of his images from Liberia in which he gave focus for over 4 years of his 8 years in West Africa.
Look11 are deeply sadened by the news of loss today and pay tribute to the courageous role Tim Hetherington has taken as a photographer in documenting some of the most challenging scenes. Hetherington has gained world recognition for his work with awards such as the world press photo of the year and we hope to find some way at this time in Liverpool of further recognising and celebrating one of Liverpool's greatest photographers.
Update:From Erica McDonald:
In lieu of flowers, the loved ones of Chris Hondros kindly request donations be made to The Chris Hondros Fund. This fund will provide scholarships for aspiring photojournalists and raise awareness of issues surrounding conflict photography.

Update:Michael Brown, injured in the blast, gives an update via Facebook:
Dear friends and colleagues,
Thank you all for the messages of love and support.
I want to write to each one of you but I don't have the energy now. Nor do I know what to say. I cannot make sense of what happened and can only think of the people involved and what was lost. I just feel lucky to be alive.
I saw Guy this morning and he is recovering well, his quick wit well intact. There are many who deserve mention for helping us these past days – photographers Guillermo Cervera, Nicole Tung, André Liohn and countless Libyans. And Katie Orlinsky, who helped save my life.
I felt fortunate to work alongside Tim and Chris. I watched, listened and learned from them, the veterans of our group. I especially enjoyed the intellect of Chris and the creativity of Tim, both men at the top of their game.
They were great people, they cared immensely and it showed in their work. Because of them, there is light in the dark places and humanity is less distant.
Let us all hope and pray for the Libyan people, fighting day after day, that this hell will be over soon.
Update:Please take a moment to write a message to Tim Hetherington's family and share it with his friends.
I've missed a few other updates out as there's so much to search for. I'll try to add more later. Please feel free to post links I've missed in the comments section and I'll add them later. Many thanks.

This video shows you the basics of working with multiple input and output instruments plugins. That is, plugins that can independently play more than one sound and output them on separate mixer tracks.
In summary the principles are:
1. Set the Plugin Wrapper to use multiple outputs (click the Wrapper PROCESSING tab and select 'Auto map outputs').
2. From within your plugin route individual sounds to its independent outputs.
3. From within your plugin set the MIDI channels it will receive on to play these sounds.
4. Send like MIDI channels from the Piano roll colors OR MIDI Out plugins to your instrument by matching the PORT setting.
We're sure this will help you to get a lot more out of your multi-input/output plugins.
If you are interested in the Varazdin Library you can get it from our shop.

Brandon Jennings led Milwaukee with 26 points, even though he missed his first eight shots. Marquis Daniels was the only other Bucks player in double figures with 12 points on 5 of 8 from the field.
Monta Ellis, the Bucks leading scorer at 19 points a game, missed his first 13 shots, and didn't score a field goal until 2:30 was left in the game. He ended the night with four points.

Miley Cyrus just couldn't tame her enthusiasm!
Before any official word had made the rounds, the 20-year-old revealed via Twitter that she had landed atop Maxim's annual Hot 100 list.
"Didn't know this was coming out yet! I'm so happy to be #1 on Maxims HOT 100! #myfanskickass #dreamsdocometrue," she tweeted, along with a sexy pic from inside the mag.
U.S. & World
We wonder if Maxim knew, either...
NEWS: Competition! FHM names Mila Kunis the "Sexiest Woman in the World"
In the rather lovely photo, in which she's lying on her side, curves going every which way, Miley sports a gold bathing suit that just matches her platinum-blond pixie cut.
Miley, who displaces Bar Refaeli as queen of Maxim-reader-approved hotness, recently showed off quite a bit of skin in a racy cover shoot for V magazine and she also scored the May cover of Elle UK.
And this would hardly mark the first time a celeb has blown the lid off her upcoming magazine coup--Lady Gaga leaked the whole cover of Vogue last August when she graced the cover.

In a world crawling with insects, those billions of tiny bodies fall into just 30 major descriptive groups, known as orders. That's why Derek Sikes, curator of insects at the University of Alaska Museum of the North, was disappointed with a graduate student when she failed to identify a creature that was wandering her plots on Prince of Wales Island.
"Every entomologist should be able to ID every insect to its order just by looking at it," Sikes said.
Jill Stockbridge, doing research for her master's degree work on spiders and beetles on Prince of Wales Island, tried her best to identify "little tiny spots jumping around like fleas." When she could hesitate no more, she called Sikes for help.
"I thought I knew what it was," Sikes said. "It had features of a wingless wasp or a bark louse, but it wouldn't key out."
"I felt way better when he didn't know either," Stockbridge said recently in the Entomology Lab in the UA Museum of the North in Fairbanks.
The tiny animal, now known as Caurinus tlagu, was different because it is a species new to science. It hops in a small group of snow scorpionflies that includes just one other species.
Sikes, who shared with Stockbridge the honor of naming the insect with the Tlingit word "tlagu," meaning ancient, was at first so baffled that he posted its photo on Facebook. He hoped his entomologist friends might have a clue.
One did. Michael Ivie recognized that the elusive insect resembled one studied by another colleague, Loren Russell of Oregon. In the late 1970s, Russell wrote his dissertation on a similar creature he found in Oregon. In exquisite detail, Russell wrote of his many observations of the insect, such as its appetite for a leafy liverwort plant and that it had no apparent predators in the miniature rainforest jungle of spiders and psuedoscorpions. He also documented its ability to cement its eggs to leaves with a dark lacquer, its lifespan of more than one year and its peculiar tendency to headbutt its food.
In May, Russell traveled to Prince of Wales Island with Sikes and Stockbridge. In the lush greenery of the sample sites, Russell demonstrated how to collect the insect. Like a museum curator dusting a display, he wristed a soft brush on the greenish portion of stumps with a collection cloth beneath. Though Stockbridge had only gathered 37 of the creatures in her initial sampling (along with 10,218 beetles), the Alaska entomologists now know how and where to find lots of Caurinus tlagu.
The amber, wingless insect living on Prince of Wales Island is quite similar to the one that so fascinated Russell in the 1970s, but is separated by more than 650 miles. Sikes and Stockbridge found that the Alaska version of the insect is a new species because of DNA sequences. The Alaska males also have fewer lenses in their compound eyes and the Alaska females have a shallower notch at the end of their wee abdomens.
Caurinus tlagu fascinates the scientists not just because it's a new species, which is cool on its own, but because it belongs to a group that has been around so long.
"This really is an ancient insect," Russell said over the phone from Oregon. "It was well into the age of the dinosaurs, the Jurassic, when it split off (from other similar insects). That it was there on Prince of Wales Island through periods that were so heavily glaciated suggests that there were little pockets of forest, maybe stunted spruce surrounded by ice, like in Glacier Bay."
Russell pictures the flea-size insect underfoot at campsites used by the first Americans, the adventurous souls who might have paddled kayaks to the New World thousands of years ago.
"It's a signal that there were patches of coastal forest that might have helped people migrate," he said. "That's what's exciting to me."
Sikes sees Caurinus tlagu as a relic creature from a world millions of years ago, not unlike the horseshoe crabs he saw on a recent visit to beaches on the Delaware coast.
"We find new species all the time," he said. "But we don't find such unusual new species belonging to groups dating back to the Jurassic."
