The WIA – does it protect our bands?
One of the benefits of being a WIA member goes something like this… "I'm proud to be a member, the WIA protects our bands". We see people making these comments regularly on social media and the President is often heard crowing this. Indeed, this goal is enshrined in the WIA Constitution: "to protect and enhance the privileges of Radio Amateurs"….
In our last newsletter we touched on the value of being a WIA member; one such benefit being "they protect our bands". What then of the WIA's own Intruder Watch service? A quick search of the WIA web site provides the following:
The WIA IARU Monitoring System is an agreed mechanism between the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and the Wireless Institute of Australia to identify and instigate (compliance) action to remove non-amateur "intruders" which are causing substantial interference to Australian amateurs in amateur HF frequency bands which are designated by the ACMA for exclusive use by amateurs.
The ACMA interprets 'substantial interference' as that level of interference which degrades reception by a considerable degree. The ACMA is obliged under the WIA IARU Monitoring System mechanism to investigate and as much as practical resolve intrusions into amateur HF bands in which Australian amateurs have Primary status.
What is the WIA's responsibility?
The WIA's Intruder Watch Co-ordinator collects and forwards intruder complaints to the ACMA. There is no evidence to indicate that the ACMA or the Board of the WIA takes any active interest in these reports.
There is no evidence to indicate any reports are being submitted to the ACMA. Given protection of our bands is enshrined in the Constitution, it would seem reasonable for the Board to review reports and actions on regular (monthly) basis?
After all, isn't that one of the key benefits of being a member?
A review of available board meeting minutes indicates that this board takes no active interest whatsoever in protecting our bands from intruders; over the course of at least the last three to four years there have been no reports or topics of discussion on these important matters at any board meetings.
The board makes no effort to encourage members to get involved; a quick scan of AR Magazine over the last couple of years reveals no discussion on this topic. There is no evidence to indicate the Board has liaised with the ACMA on these matters. The WIA Co-ordinator has made no reports to members.
A quick review of the WIA Monitoring System report suggests that there have been 496 observations of potential intruders into our bands in December alone!
What is the WIA doing about these reported incursions? Is any analysis being done to determine how many might have originated from within our own borders, thereby allowing ACMA to take some action. Have the ACMA received, reviewed and provided any feedback on these reports?
The WIA is certainly not informing members of any reports or actions in this regard.
What are the responsibilities of Australian Radio Amateurs
As active radio amateurs, it is our job to report any potential intruders we may observe. From our research it appears only ONE Australian Radio Amateur goes to the trouble to report potential intruder observations to the WIA.
The mechanism to submit reports is somewhat unclear, with the WIA's own intruder watch email address being inactive. Nonetheless, it appears that Australian Radio Amateurs take little interest in protecting their bands. Most assume the WIA Board has it in hand; this is a dangerous and ill-founded assumption……
Intruder watch can work!
Hence we were surprised when a ZL amateur brought an intruder alert to our attention in December 2016. Attempts to raise the matter with the WIA failed, as the Intruder Watch email address is inactive. Try it for yourself. firstname.lastname@example.com
This intruder report relates to Australian Department of Defence CW signals on 7, 14, 21 and 29.7 MHz. Not only have observations been made, but further investigation reveals that these allocations had been licenced to the Navy by the ACMA.
That's right, licences have been granted to Defence within primary amateur allocations under ITU Regulations. The licence allowed 250 watts of CW on 7.000, 14.000, 21.000 and 29.700 MHz….
Given a clear lack of focus or action by the WIA, the WIA Reform Group submitted a report to the ACMA on 30th December 2016 along with a recommendation that the Defence allocations be shifted below (or above) the primary Amateur Band allocations. On the 19th January 2017, the Reform Group received an acknowledgement from the ACMA, along with advice that the Defence Department allocations would be moved.
This removal of an intruder was successful for two reasons; two parties took an interest and took action. The first party, a concerned radio amateur, took the time to identify and report the intruder. He conducted some research and provided adequate information.
The second party, a small group of concerned radio amateurs, took the time to review the report, conduct further analysis and then take action.
They took effective action; they reported the intrusion to the ACMA along with supporting evidence and also offered a solution (something the WIA rarely does).
Why is this important?
We've all heard the phrase "give an inch, take a mile". Radio spectrum is a finite resource, and in recent years has become extremely valuable to commercial and government users.
Whilst this example may have been a narrow band Continuous Wave signal on our band edges, what could happen next if we don't take action? Some wide band digital mode or other experimental signal? Worse still, incursions by commercial users?
Those of us who enjoy the 40 metre band in particular will be well aware of the massive QRM from our northern neighbours. And of course, every HF user will be aware of the OTHR Radars out of Russia.
This is just another example of a Board out-of-control. These directors do not have the skills or experience to deliver 21st century services to members or to deal with government regulators.
Their inability to focus on key services continues to undermine our WIA and its relevance to all stakeholders. When was the last time this board reported on Intruders to the members, or took any proactive action with the ACMA?
Members have every right to question their membership at renewal time. $95 is a lot of money to pay for negligible services….
As illustrated in this newsletter, the WIA is doing nothing to protect your bands and privileges.
Contact us if you have any questions.

My ethnicity is of Chinese decent, and so there is no denying that my hair, skin and eye colour as well as build will be different to Caucasians and other races. This means that colour of clothes amongst other things will suit certain types of races more than others.
For example without even differentiating between races, clothes which suit someone with a tanned skin may not someone with very fair skin and vice versa.
There are times when browsing fashion beans where I think that looks like a great outfit but I dont think it would look as good on myself.
I know, i know, this could be taken the wrong way by people and could be controversial but i thought I'd just put it out there.

I was certainly shocked when I zoned into the faire today. There are thousands at the faire today! And they also removed the darkmoon tickets from being soulbound, you can now do the dailies on your alts, even level 1's and mail them to your main to buy things with. No longer will it take almost 2 years to get the mounts and pets all done!
Yeah, I noticed a lot more people today. It was fun, felt like an actual fair, not the desert island I was used to.
I think most mainstream players don't really care for this aversion against CRZ... you know, the average players, those who don't care what epics or tier they're wearing, who don't care much about achievements or reputation farming, those who just potter about and do the small things they enjoy such as the farm dailies, fishing and pet battles...
I think the mainstream players appreciate that CRZ makes the game seem more alive for them, they'd probably start scratching their heads if they started to feel alone all the time in every zone.
As long as the mainstream players don't care it won't matter how hard anyone else complains or dislikes CRZ.
Is Anti-Fascism Un-American?
This way is "SCREW YOUR CHOICES, I'LL FORCE EVERYONE INTO MY WAY".
Everyone is free to use MORE THAN ONE WAY to change their mind at ANY TIME, and go to a higher pop or a low pop realm.
You're so self-righteous, because your high pop is forcing itself upon us. I'ts easy to defend when you're the oppressor.
Right now we are suffering to share resources with a competition that outnumber us greatly, while we do not share the benefits of joining the current tier of raiding group.

Newsflash - the only reason there's more people in your particular zone than you're used to is that there are players on low and high populated servers that are not being given equal access to resources in comparison to each other. Blizzard has decided this is not the way they want the game to be, and CRZ is their way of bringing this to pass!
Darkmoon dominator achievement will be impossible. Glad I already have it .
Other than that DMF rabbit will be much rarer. Maybe I should buy some up.
Well i'm glad I completed Darkmoon Dominator last month because doing it now would be a total nightmare.
Already seeing a lot of people trolling by afking on their mammoth mounts at the shooting gallery daily quest. The 1st aid monthly quest is also a little bit horrible with so many people trying to bandage about npcs.
It's nice that things seem more busy but it creates a lot of problems.
Secondly, Gnomeregan is far from a high populated realm - consequently its because a rather medium-low populated server, with less raiding then I would consider ideal. That being said, I don't mind sharing our resources with our brothers from higher populated servers, because its nice to have people around. I don't believe I have some God Given right to these resources just because I stay on a non-high populated server, nor do I particularily enjoy having a whole zone all to myself. I have no problem with other players, regardless of where they come from, nor do I mind sharing the game with them. That, imo, is a healthy, selfless, proper attitude to approach a MMO. If you have a less-social attitude towards this, then that's fine, but don't expect Blizzard to cater towards that, as Blizzard, first and formost, wants WoW to be a Social MMO.

I hate CRZ making thing like DMF PVP Achievement and DMF Rabbit much harder than they were originally intended to be. It just irritates me that all these people can do is TAKE AWAY from my experience. They are not real people on my server, I cannot do raids or arena with them. They are just there to give the illusion of more people playing the game and to suck up resources.
I really hate this feature.
---------- Post added 2013-06-02 at 08:35 PM ----------
So do you enjoy "socializing" in metro during peak time (as CRZ is basically the same)? I am afraid that you are in very small minority.Maybe you are, and just don't want to believe it, because "this is my opinion, how could the vast majority of people have a different opinion?"
Blizzard is currently doing their best to destroy "social" element in WoW. But it would be going too much off-topic to discuss it.
CRZ has made the world look populated for newbies (and I use the term affectionately to refer to new customers).
It's a nice marketing ploy to try improve new player retention (which arguably is where WoW hurts the most in recent times) but no further than that in its current incarnation.
Imagine new customer logging on one of the 'dead' servers and going through the starting areas in solitude, not a very good first impression...
Cue CRZ and everything looks peachy... by the time they experience the downsides it's hopefully served its purpose and they're hooked on other features (that would be the hope anyway).
As far as the actual implementation though; you get all the downsides exactly where the feature is supposed to help (increased competition for any kind of resource where such competition is possible) with none of the benefits (goods don't re-enter your dead realm economy, players can't be recruited to your guild, or be subject to retaliation for ganking you).
The truth is that if such a half-arsed and incomplete implementation had gone live in any competitor's game and remained in its half-finished state for so many months, Blizzard fans would be 'lol lol lol what an amateur job is that, they didn't even put x-realm AH and recruiting in'.
I severely beg to differ with you. If you even feel for a second you have a leg to stand on, why not post a survey on whether or not players trust Blizzard to make a good game (use those or very similar games) and I think you'll be in for a rude awakening. We spend time on these forums talking about WoW because we love this game, not because we think its a great way to make the game exactly like we want it to be for our personal interests.
Oh and you can find partners for arena by using forums or smth like that, and not ask first stranger.
It's something to remember. And those are the people that Blizzard care about the most. Guaranteed. They are the hardest to get to and when they leave they don't file long "I Quit" rants anywhere. Their opinion matters too.

Today is the seventh day of my mission to spread kindness and help others. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, please read: Join My Give Back Mission to Spread Kindness and Say Thank You.
This weekend I watched the documentary Bully, which highlights the problem of child-to-child bullying across the country. It is an excruciatingly painful movie to watch. I experienced so many emotions, from heartbreak for the children and families to frustration and anger toward the schools.
The children highlighted in this movie were tormented and abused by their peers in ways that simply astound. And so many times, no one could or would help them. The schools featured did not take the problem seriously and the parents did not always fully understand the extent of the abuse. For some parents, they did not realize what was happening until it was too late and they were burying their babies.
These innocent children were alone and had nowhere to turn. It was as if being a little different, a little small, a little socially awkward gave other children permission to abuse and torture.
I kept thinking, if only these children had a safe place. If only these children could find where they fit in. If only there was a place that understood and allowed them to be themselves without fear or ridicule, then maybe these children could be saved. Maybe then teen suicide wouldn't be the third leading cause of death for teens. Perhaps the approximate 11 youth suicides a day could be stopped (Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicides).
My mission today is to highlight one place that is taking this problem seriously. It is a safe place for children to go and express themselves through art. It is a place where you are accepted and embraced. Being different is okay there. It is a place that is trying to bring awareness to the issue of teen suicide and save lives.
The Haven Youth Project, also known as Sent(a)mental Studios, is an organization that is especially important to me because it is named in honor of my friend's daughter who tragically took her own life last year on Valentine's Day at only 13-years-old.
The Haven Youth Project is a Denver/Boulder organization that is helping many youth reclaim their lives and find their own voice. Lead by Founder/Witness Dylan Scholinski, the Haven Youth Project is making a difference. And they need donations in order to offer their services to these children in need.
Their biggest fundraising campaign of the year ends in 14 days and they are a little more than halfway to their goal, but they need help. Please click here to donate to this cause. Even $5 or $10 can be of help to this program and these children.
My friend's daughter Sydney (Haven) was born exactly one-week before my oldest son. Her mother and I went to high school together. We both had our babies young, but we both counted our children as the biggest blessings of our lives. She is an incredibly loving mother. What hit me the hardest was the realization that her loss could have just as easily been my loss or anyone's. It is unfathomable to imagine, but it is a real fear. Suicide is not something we should talk about under hushed voices. It should be openly discussed and addressed. This is how we can save our children's lives.
So, please donate if you can and please spread the word about this important issue.
Good Deed Idea of the Day
Today, my good deed idea is to leave a thank you note for the mail carrier and garbage collector. These are individuals who help us so much, but are often overlooked. I am going to attach a note to my mailbox and my trash can today. Will you join me? Will you make the day for these hard-working people who do their jobs, so we can live comfortably?

Manassas Woman Struck, Killed by VRE Train
Update 3 p.m.
A woman from Manassas was hit and killed this morning by a Virginia Railway Express train.
More in a police press release:
On Wednesday, January 15 shortly after 7 a.m., officers were called to the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) station at 10399 Premier Court in Burke for the report of a pedestrian that had been hit by a train.
Officers were met immediately by VRE officials who directed them to the scene.
Detectives from the Crash Reconstruction Unit were called to the scene and conducted the investigation in cooperation with VRE personnel.
The preliminary investigation determined that a locomotive was traveling southbound enroute from Washington, D.C. to Manassas; it was foggy and dark, visibility was reduced. As the train passed the Burke station and rounded a slight curve, the engineer saw a pedestrian walking across the tracks from left to right. The engineer immediately applied the emergency brake and sounded the horn. The train slowed but hit the pedestrian in the middle of the southbound track.
Danyelle Lynn Anderson, 22, of Manassas, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Update 10 a.m.
Amtrak reports its Train 20, The Crescent, was delayed for about 30 minutes due to this incident.
Update 9 a.m.
The train that struck a person on the tracks this morning was headed from Washington to Manassas in a reverse commute.
Here's the very latetest in a statement from VRE:
VRE Train 321 (Southbound) struck an individual near the Burke Centre Station. All passengers on 321 were provided alternate transportation.
(This is a Southbound train doing a reverse commute, so there were only a couple of passengers on board.) Trains 330 and 332 were cancelled.
No trains are stopped with passengers on board.
There's no word yet from Amtrak on whether that passenger rail system is experiencing delays.
8:30 a.m.
MANASSAS, Va. — Someone has been struck by a Virginia Railway Express train in Fairfax County and two Manassas line trains are canceled this morning.
Trains 330 and 332 from Broad Run to Washington are not running this morning after someone was struck near the Burke VRE station in Fairfax County. VRE on their website this morning states riders can choose to take Metro instead and that transit system will honor their VRE fare cards.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude : Remembering the Running Fence
List price: US$85.00

AbeBooks may have this title (opens in new window).Try AbeBooks
In September 1976, a curtain of shimmering white was unfurled across the hills of rural northern California, running unbroken for 24.5 miles from Sonoma County to the Pacific Ocean. The artistic vision of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "Running Fence" was 18 feet high and traversed the private properties of 59 ranchers. Although it remained in place for just two weeks, the process of planning it consumed nearly four years, and the installation required helicopters, barges, lawyers, and more than 300 Bay Area students and workers. This beautiful book, companion volume to the exhibition of the same name, tells the story of this legendary art installation. Illustrated throughout with graphic representations and stunning photographs, Christo and Jeanne-Claude recounts how two artists who were complete strangers to the area gradually enlisted the support of entire communities in order to make their vision a reality. Brian O'Doherty's insightful essay considers the legacy of "The Running Fence", while remembrances from other contributors, including the artists' California attorney provide as full an experience of "Running Fence" as is possible, short of actually having been there.

|RE: Algebra Textbook Recommendation

decent sense of what mathematics is in the process of learning meaningful
mathematics. Dr. Wu appears to be suggesting that Saxon Math would not be a way
to get that done, and there are so many other, better sources out there that I
don't see why Wu would need to be addressing a particular kind of kid or
student. One size may not fit all, but on my view, Saxon Math really fits no one
very well, though as previously stated, your mileage may vary, and though you
seemed to have missed the point, it no doubt already does.

I had the pleasure of toruing with CAN in March of 1999 as part of the CAN solo projects tour (thanks to Mark Spybey and Thomas Ziegler). What an amazing first European tour. Although Michael had just had brain surgery mere weeks before, he was in rare form and always ready to go. The shows were tight yet relaxed. I remember vividly in Berlin having asked Michael about Damo coming out to the show, and he just grinned at me as if he knew without a doubt. the lights dimmed, the music started, but no Damo. I walked to the front of the venue and sin walks Damo. He b-lines to the stage, hops up, grabs a waiting mic and jumped into the amazing free form vocals he is known for. Michael never skipped a beat.
We all knew that every day from that tour on, he was on borrowed time. It was an honor to work with such great people on that tour. Thanks Michael, Mark, Holger, Jaki, Irmin, Arthur, Thomas. etal.

My first and only experience of Michael's gig was in 1997 with Damo's Network in Osaka, 17years later since my first experience of Can's music. It was a fantastic allnight event and his guitar sound was still extraoridinary.And just same day of he passed away, I listened his "DELUGE"album before this sad news. How I miss you.My condolences and vielen Dank!!Michael.

I made sure that thousands of people would know his name in the coming weeks, because that's the way it should be.
Words cannot say...
Anyone remembering Ingeborg Schobers quotation in German "SOUNDS" magazine in a CAN record review: "Michael Karoli will never become a good rock guitarist"? Haha, make no mistake! Flying high with you, master of strings, and may your chords be heard often. My condolences to everyone involved in CAN> over the moon, and into the sun ...
Ami Hassinen
Thanks to Michael for being one of the truly great, expressive guitar players. I was impressed by your work as a part of CAN and elsewhere...and still am. Condolences to all who knew him...
Washington, DC, USA
As evidenced from the numerous CAn has influenced many of different age groups and walks of life from many parts of the globe. It can be said with great certainty that CAN stands in league with bands like the Velvet Underground who were far ahead of their time and whose influence continues to grow and reverberate with time. I wasn't even alive and was far too young to ever see CAN play back in the 70s but through the influence of bands like Sonic Youth I became aware of CAN. In my mind CAN exists in a league of their own and continues to be a source of inspiration and their music continues to challenge and provoke me.
It's with great sadness that I hear the news of Michael Karoli's passing. May his spirit and legacy live on through the music and continue to influence more generations to come...

I was saddened and shocked to hear of Michael's death yesterday -as are so are many people around the world.
My sympathies and heartfelt condolences extend to Michael's family and the extended Can clan.
He was in my opinion one of the most innovative guitarists ever. A massive influence on the independant musical cultures globally, as well my own musical endeavours since hearing Ege Bamyasi at an all night party in Auckland New Zealand in April 1985.
Michael's work with Can and elsewhere to me represented and manifested musically a very strong mystical and life affirming magic. It will resonate forever.
I met and filmed Jaki Leibezeit playing with Jah Wobble in Solaris in Leeds just a month ago and so to find out one of his original bandmates from the extraordinary Can is gone from this mortal coil is made extra poignant.
Goodbye Michael and thank you.

I'd never heard of Can until I saw them on TV in the early 70s, they blew me away. I raved about them at school the next day, but nobody else was turned on. Michael made the biggest impression, searing guitar lines, always exploring, always creative, he'll be sadly missed.

My condolences on the passing of a great musician. I've loved Michael and Can's music for so long that I do feel his absense in what is a personal way. The endless soloing through Can's music and through the "Deluge" album will never stop though ... this is a man who, along with his friends, opened up the vocabulary of music. Thanks, Michael.

michael was one of the great guitarists of the rock era, but, opposite to what makes a guitar hero, he was totally unselfish, much more attuned to the whole rather than his own glory. he resisted the pitfalls of playing the guitar, and that makes him a musical hero, not just a guitarists' hero. it is very sad to hear of his death.

It is with great sadness that I write about Michael's death on November the 17th. I first met Michael when I toured with Damo Suzuki's Network in the USA, in 1998. Two months later, I received a phone call from Michael asking me to be part of his band for 1999's Can anniversary shows. It was the musical highlight of my life. As a 16 year old Can fan in 1977, I saw them play live in my home town. Years later Michael and I talked about this, he remembered the gig. I think that it was impossible to work with Michael and not fall in love with him. He was a warm, fiercely loyal and generous man. I always stood stage left of Michael, often very close to him . He would constantly listen to the sounds that we all created and could and indeed, did, give an immediate critique of your performance after the show. To begin with this was a daunting prospect but after a while I began to feel more comfortable with it. This was musical university, without any academic frills or pomp. In the spring of 1999 I was lucky to spend a week at his house in France rehearsing. Michael was never far from his guitar or violin. He would walk around the house with a pignose amp strapped to his back, a belt crammed full of effects pedals, playing his guitar. The first time I heard him play guitar in my presence, I couldn't help but pinch myself and say, " that's Michael Karoli..." He had an unmistakable sound, a mastery of his craft although he would constantly say that he couldn't play that well.. I can only think of a dozen or so bands over the past 30 years who have earned the right to feel special because of what they have achieved and yet Michael, as a member of Can ( who thoroughly deserve the recognition they have received ) was ever humble.. Michael made music because he wanted to, because he loved making music and he never lost sight of the hardworking ideals that led Can to have such a revolutionary impact on contemporary music. He played down the importance of personalities and could talk el Michael will be sadly missed. My deepest sympathies are extended to his lovely wife Shirley and their beautiful daughters. I shall end with notes from a diary that I wrote after my visit to Michael's studio in March of 1999. We had just concluded a long rehearsal and Michael and I played together:
" a f i n a l m e m o r y"
on the last day of rehearsals at michael's studio in france, we worked late into the night. thomas hopf was sleeping in the studio's loft and he went to bed. michael was seated in front of me playing his cello. he was very, very tired. michael and i played together for over an hour. it was quiet, at times almost silent music. gentle scrapes and bows. crackles and whispers. i could see michael nodding off to sleep a few times but he held his cello bow firmly in his hand. his legs continued to move quietly, as if to the silence of the rhythm. it was some of the best, most intense music that i have been involved with. thomas later told me that he thought it quite beautiful. he said that we made music for him to sleep to. in those precious moments i felt profoundly moved. not simply at being able to be there. but almost as if i was part of something bigger than the sum total of the people that were present. a totally private moment. a perfect moment. i hoped that we had recorded this session but i suspect we didn't. right now, it really doesn't seem important. what is important, is that it happened." My sincere thanks and love to Thomas Ziegler, Damo Suzuki, Rainer Csallner, Sofortkontakt! and all of the extended Can family.

This was a great shock to me when someone was kind enough to e-mail me with this very sad news. No one else sounded quite like Karoli and after reading Holger's message on his board I had to go home and listen to Soon Over Babaluma and Future Days while lying down and just taking it all in. Another genius has found the limits mortality brings. He will be missed and those who have not know the music of Karoli and the rest of Can are truly deprived.

Michael Karoli is one of the greats. Not trying to start a debate but I can't think of any other guitarist from the period when Can started out who dispensed w/ blues-based, standard-rock'n'roll licks to such an extent... and did something new instead.
And another testament to his being a great musician is how with Can, that's what you hear: CAN. Not so much individual parts played... but a *whole*. it's *all* integeral; it fuses together. From what I know -- or at least my impression is -- for a young rock guitarist to have fit in so well w/ the older, avant-gardener/mad scientists and nomad vocalists that comprised the rest of Can suggests what Can fans and his friends will already know: Michael Karoli is one of the greats. May his spirit live on. His music will
Mick Miller
Aberdeen, Scotland
Very sad indeed to hear of Michael's death. I have been listening to Can since the Monster Movie days and believe that they were one of the few experimental influences that managed to genuinely influence the way that music, in any context or form, was heard and played. Michael contributed much to this and will be sorely missed by all who value those who 'push the envelope' that little bit further......in peace.

I would just like to say I am terrible shocked to hear about Michael`s sudden death. I`d like to say thank you to Can and to Michael for many years of wonderful wonderful music - and to express my condolences and my love to his family and to all the other members of Can. I am playing "Landed" as I write this... He is one who played like a god, and will be sadly missed.

Deeply saddened at the passing of Miki, Can meant (and still mean) the world to me - they were one of those rare encounters that totally shift the way you feel about and respond to music, the closest I ever came to having heroes..goodbye spidery chip-chop man.

De la découverte de "Tago Mago" voici sept ou huit ans demeure le souvenir d'une véritable jouissance orgasmique. Etudiant à l'époque, j'étais en pleine période d'examen. Un indigeste cours d'égyptologie m'obligeait à veiller jusqu'au bout de la nuit. La radio me maintenait éveillé. Un programmateur inspiré a eu l'étrange idée de passer "Oh Yeah!". Ce que j'ai entendu ce soir-là ne ressemblait à rien de connu : une ligne de guitare hypnotisante couvrait les hurlements d'un chien jaune en état de démence. Le lendemain, je me précipitais chez le disquaire pour retrouver cette mélopée entêtante qui m'avait d'avantage captivéé les statues stéléphores de Karnak.
Pour la petite histoire, je me suis lamentablement planté à mon examen d'égyptologie. Pourtant ce que j'ai découvert ce soir-là valait bien toutes les secondes sessions du monde. Pour cet examen raté et tant d'autres choses (ah! le vol plané d'une moumoute sur la vidéo du "Can Box")... vielen Dank Michael!

I just like to say that I am shocked to hear that Michael has died so suddenly. Over the last ten years the music of Can has meant very very much to me, and feel very sad to hear that Michael has died. My love, my thought and my prayers goes out to his familiy and to the others members of Can. He was truly one of a kind, a guitarist extraordinare. - Thank you for the music.

A lifetime of groovy playing to be enjoyed forever. Condolences to those who were still making music with him, and to his nearest and dearest. Myself and fellow Can-Nut Duncan got the chance to meet Michael when our friend Mark Spybey was playing London with Sofortkontakt, an experience we will treasure forever.

Many thanks Michael.

I am far too young to have ever seen Can play live, but their music has been very important to me since I first discovered DELAY 1968 five years ago. I was always thrilled to hear that all the members were still involved in music in the present day. It took me awhile to substantiate the rumor of Karoli's death, but sadly I was directed here. To say that I could not palpably feel the influence of Can whenever I play would be specious. My condolences.

I wish to send my condolences. Michael's excellent style will be missed. Am playing Tago Mago as I type this..Thanks for the music!

The Raiders signed kick returner/receiver Josh Cribbs this week and he talked with the local media on Thursday:
Q: What was it that appealed to you about the Raiders and how did you wind up here?
A: I feel like the Raiders are a traditional, winning team like Cleveland is. They won a lot in the past — they have a history of it. It's a blue-collar, underdog city and it would be so great to come here and win games and fight for an opportunity to have a chance to win games. I feel like the Raiders are moving in the right direction and I would love to be a part of it when they turn things around.
Q: You've been here at least a couple times in the past as a visiting player, what were your impressions?
A: This is a hardcore team. I knew of the tradition with it and that's what I'm going to keep harping on today. I knew of the tradition of this organization and all they stand for and it's one thing that stuck me. Not just that, but the coaching staff as well and the organization. I really love the opportunity playing for Bobby April, the special teams coordinator, and have the chance to help him put his niche on things. He's a great special teams coach. I just want to come here and succeed, and I feel like I have the best opportunity to do that here in Oakland. Playing against Oakland, I'm familiar with a lot of the guys because I played against them. I had the opportunity to join some former teammates off of my team and keep the ball rolling.
Q: As you made your rounds, there was some discussion about what shape your knee was going to be in, and I believe even the Jets general manager had said your knee wasn't right yet, which is kind of highly unusual for a GM of another team to make a public comment on someone's health. That aside, where are you physically?
A: I'm doing well. We never had planned to comment on injury but we play our first game in September or August and it's barely June. We're not lining up to play football. If we were lining up to play football in June then it would be a hot topic. I will be ready to play football when it's time to play football and I think that is the important thing. I don't know why the Jets GM would come out and say that other than use it as a negotiation tactic. It was well perceived and I think, as a whole, everyone kind of understood what was going on about that. I'm an Oakland Raider now, I'm a part of Raider Nation, and that's another reason why I chose Oakland. Rich fan base, similar to Cleveland. They are a diehard fan base. They're all about their team, win or lose. They hold their team and players to a high standard and that's what I won't have to miss coming to Oakland because it's the same situation, play hard for the fans and they'll reward you.
Q: Are you hoping that there will be a role as a receiver besides being a kick returner?
A: Definitely. I feel like it's a definite possibility for competition at that position. At this point, my job is to come in and be a special teams' guru to help solidify our special teams unit in the NFL and to raise our goals and our standards. If we do that, we will become an elite unit. I'm just fortunate enough to be able to assist in that under Coach April.
Q: Chris Kluwe, from the Vikings, has said on Fox that he was going to be joining the Raiders too. (What's) your impression of fielding punts from him and what it says to the Raiders commitment to special teams that they're going after guys like you and Chris.
A: I commend the effort. I wanted to also come to a team that the head coach, the GM and organization were committing to their special teams unit. I feel like we have a great special teams unit. You can have the ability to change the football game. When you have a dynamic special teams unit, you can be slightly subpar on offense and defense but the special teams carry. When you don't have a good special teams, you've got to have a good defense and a good offense. But with a dynamic special teams, we can set up field position for the offense and pin opposing offenses deep in their own territory to set up a good opportunity for our defense to stop them. So, I really commend their efforts to creating a dynamic situation for our special teams to be an elite team in the NFL.

My 17 month old doesn't talk at all and I was wondering how many other's are talking. My son talked a lot by this age, and it's a struggle to get my daughter to say anything. She answer's questions by shaking her head, and she "sings" and dances a lot but doesn't talk. I've heard her say many words but she's said it about once and never again.
She also wants to start using the potty but I'm having a horrible time with it. She wants to pee standing up and I've even made my son sit and she STILL wants to stand. I've tried to give up on the potty training for now, but she won't give up. She takes off her diapers, and has even had many accidents near or in the bathroom. I don't know what to do, any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Aaron McGruder Discusses "Boondocks" Newspaper Strip Sabbatical
The St. Petersburg Times has reported on a talk given by Aaron McGruder at the University of South Florida on his decision to step away from the Boondocks newspaper comic strip, and how that decision was affected by the Adult Swim animated show based on it. McGruder stated that he created the Boondocks show for "people who look at the world and say, 'There's something seriously wrong here,'" and that he believes more people who "get it" will tune in to the TV show than a daily newspaper comic strip.

While revving my engine or normal driving. The car either sounds electric or whining. Another problem, is the gas fuel meter seems unstable. One time I filled up half way, and while driving for 30 mins it dropped a little and you can notice it. Then I turn the car off and turned it back on after school, the fuel gauge was above the half mark. I'm mainly concerning the noise in my engine as the whining noise seem not normal unless it is.
have the same problem?

Hello PBH Free Fringers,
Tommy Sheppard has kindly allowed me to run a PBH Free Fringe Fundraiser at The Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh on July 16th. It's a great bill of mostly Scottish based acts with myself headlining.
If you have people in the Edinburgh area, it would be great if you could tell them about it. It might also be a good idea to notify the PBH involved venues. If you are already nominated as a venue captain could you PM me to discuss sending details thru to your venue?
Hope all pre-fringe prep is going well.
Rock on!

Indiana Pacers Offseason: Where Do the Indiana Pacers Go from Here?July 27, 2012
The Indiana Pacers finished with the fifth-best record in the NBA in 2011-2012 and had their most successful season in the heartland since 2003-2004. The big question facing Indiana this upcoming season is: Where do they go from here?
The Pacers have opted to largely keep their roster in-tact; a smart move for now. The clock is ticking, however, and many are wondering if a similar roster will be good enough to out-duel Miami—or even Chicago—next time around.
Danny Granger is still in the prime of his career and it's wise to see if he can turn the corner this season and become one of the league's best. The pressure is on. Granger just finished up his seventh season in the league (all with Indiana) and if he wants to go toe-to-toe and be in the same class as LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, it's his time to prove it.
The Pacers showed the maturity of a team well beyond its years last season. Indiana boasts one of the youngest rosters in the league and a rising star in the coaching profession in Frank Vogel. The big gap in continuity for the 2012-2013 season is the loss of President of Basketball Operations, Larry Bird.
"The Legend" left the team in stunning fashion shortly after the season, referencing physical fatigue, according to Bob Kravitz:
"But the one thing he (Bird) would always bring up was the pain he was feeling in his eternally balky back, the fact it was so difficult to sit for hours on end and watch tape or sit in a gym and watch prospects."
Donnie Walsh is back in charge as President of Basketball Operations in Indy and Kevin Pritchard takes over as general manager in favor of David Morway. The Legend's direction will be sorely missed, but this team is in great hands with familiar face Donnie Walsh making the key management decisions in the front office.
Walsh was the architect behind the great Pacers teams of the mid-late 1990s. The closest the Pacers came to a title during those glory years was a mere two games away in the 2000 NBA Finals. In his second go-around, Walsh hopes to bring them back to the Finals and help get them over the hump.
The Pacers challenged, but could not match the star power of the Miami Heat this past season, falling in six games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Pacers dropped the final three games of the series by a combined 48 points.
Indiana will have the same core group of scorers returning and two rounds of hard-fought playoff experience under their belts. The optimism and belief in the Hoosier state continues to grow that the time is now.
This upcoming season will be an opportunity to prove that a team who lacks a true go-to player can win it all. Indiana is a joy to watch—a representation of finesse and team-first basketball at its finest. However, those kind of teams rarely ever walk away with the NBA's top prize.
The Association is a superstar-driven league where many games come down to isolation moments in which a team's best player often goes one-on-one with the clock winding down to hit a difficult shot at the buzzer.
It's yet to be determined whether Danny Granger or even Paul George can consistently play that role which players like LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant play so well.
Indiana has added some key pieces and made re-signing Roy Hibbert their highest off season priority. Bringing Hibbert back was a necessity and intelligent move for this budding franchise. 7'2" centers with excellent footwork, high basketball IQ and soft touch close to the basket are difficult to find.
Pacers fans should be excited about the arrival of D.J. Augustin. The Pacers pulled off a shrewd move in signing the former Charlotte Bobcat. Augustin comes in on a one-year deal for $3.5M, a low-risk, high-reward potential for a player that was dying for a change of scenery.
Augustin is a smooth point guard with a pass-first mentality whose career had stagnated in Charlotte. He should challenge for major minutes at the point, largely because George Hill's best natural fit is at shooting guard. Now, the talented, still very young point man will have a bevy of scoring options to kick the rock to and jump start the Pacers offense.
Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard said:
"In Charlotte, he was so looked upon to score, but with us he can be a facilitator, or be in a pick-and-roll and find players, but he doesn't have to go in to score to help us. His role will change, but he really embraced that when we talked to him."
George Hill is more of a combo guard that at 6'2" can handle the ball, yet lacks the court vision and playmaking ability Augustin provides. Hill's scoring ability is unquestioned and he's a nice up tempo player who meshes perfectly with this athletic group of young players.
The Pacers have a multitude of scoring options, which is a refreshing thought. However, it's high time for Danny Granger take the next step in his career from Top-20 scorer to Top-20 player. Granger has the talent to make a run at becoming an All-NBA player. The third team would be a spectacular achievement for him in 2012-2013.
Granger averaged 25.8 points per game just three seasons ago and has become a highly proficient outside shooter. If there's one weakness in his offensive game, it's his inability to create opportunities for other scorers while penetrating. Granger can get to the rim, but needs to emulate scorers like Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant who get their teammates plenty of open looks.
The Pacers found a nice athletic, rangy shooting guard to back up Paul George in Gerald Green. The high-flying, straight-from-high school prodigy is finally growing into his freakishly athletic frame at the age of 26.
He's already on his sixth team after coming into the league during the 2005-06 season and he made big strides in a short stint with the Nets last season. George showed considerable improvement in his three-point touch this past season and at the shooting guard spot is a great rebounder with limitless potential.
David West is a proven veteran at the power forward position that fit in very nicely in Indy last season. West finished tied for second on the Pacers in scoring and second in rebounding. He's no longer the main option down low, like he was in New Orleans, though West is still a load to handle in the post.
Next year may be the Pacers time to challenge the Bulls and Heat for Eastern conference supremacy. Indiana lacks the star power of their competitors, but their depth, along with their excellent outside shooting and Top-Ten defense leaves them in excellent shape.
The Pacers will soon find out if all of their strategically placed pieces can coalesce to reach the pinnacle of the basketball universe in 2013. The Pacers have had time to gel and they have gained the experience necessary to make a major run this season.

Concerns about the global economic recovery and the ability of emerging markets, especially China, to keep growing are affecting prices for many commodities, including coal. Adding to coal's problem is that US electricity generation plants that can switch from coal to natural gas are doing so because natural gas is now cheaper on a BTU basis than coal.
Coal miners James River Coal Corp. (NASDAQ: JRCC), Arch Coal Inc. (NYSE: ACI), Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE: ANR), Peabody Energy Co. (NYSE: BTU), Patriot Coal Corp. (NYSE: PCX), and Consol Energy Corp. (NYSE: CNX) are closing mines, cutting production, and in general struggling to keep revenues and profits from sinking.
Warm winter weather, historically low natural gas prices, and fears of an economic slowdown in China have pushed coal stocks down by between about -40% to -80% in the past year. Even coal miners that produce substantial amounts of the more costly metallurgical coal used for steel making have suffered.
Will the market for coal turn around? Certainly summer demand for air conditioning could help. If this summer in the US is, like winter, warmer than usual, demand for coal — and natural gas — will rise and prices along with it. But coal needs to close a gap of about $0.25/million BTUs before it is again equal to the price for natural gas.
Gas producers will help if planned production cuts materialize, but absent hotter weather that may not make enough of a difference. Coal provided the energy for about 42% of US electricity generation in 2011 and the US Energy Information Administration predicts a fall to around 40% in 2012. Natural gas-fired generation is expected to grow from 24.8% of generation in 2011 to 27.1% in 2012.
A hot summer combined with lower natural gas production will be the primary drivers for thermal coal prices in the US in the next six months. Investors wanting to bet on the weather can take a chance on coal, but an equally good bet would be on just about any agricultural commodity. Over the long haul, coal might make a comeback, but that's betting that environmental issues can be overcome or pushed aside. The future for coal looks blacker all the time.
