There is no active will present in the first and other jhānas, and you don't have to be enlightened to achieve jhāna.
Then you must be in the meditative state all the time without resorting to active will.
Fitness of the mind capable of cultivating insight.
You also get insight from reciting Buddha too.
I don't understand what you mean here.
I am talking about Amitabha's compassion through his vows, that sentient beings can go to Pure Land. This type of compassion can be understood as there is not separation between Amitabha's mind and sentient beings' minds. However, your text says The classical theories of karma and rebirth don't allow for such easily directed rebirths until one is at a much higher level. In other words, ordinary beings have no say in where they're reborn. At death it comes down to your karma.
No, because wisdom and compassion can be actively cultivated together while on the bodhisattva career.
Can you then predict when will you be enlightened?
My compassion is ordinary, and my ability to aid others in a serious way depends on deference to the words of enlightened beings.
I am sure other Buddhists are working on this also. But this will not lead sentient out of samsara as when you are enlightened.
That has nothing to do with my suffering and ability to feel empathy for others.
True. But you will not be able to lead them out of samsara when you are still deluded yourself.
Technically this world of ours Earth is Shakyamuni's buddha-realm (buddha-kṣetra), and it is samsara. It is in the process of transformation, so to speak. Amitabha's Pure Land is merely one of minimal, if any, suffering and defilements, but nevertheless because it is occupied by sentient beings, who exist by virtue of their defilements, it is samsara.
That doesn't negate my position that it is still samsara.
I already explained to you Buddha's lands are not samsara lands created by deluded beings.
Like I said, this world is Shakyamuni's buddha-kṣetra, and though all buddhas are pure and free of defilements, those who dwell in it (i.e., me, you and all ordinary beings), are not pure.
Samsara is not Sakyamuni's land, but samsara is where he chose to liberate these deluded beings.
Hence, just because Amitabha is enlightened does not mean his buddha-kṣetra will be pure. Our world is Shakyamuni's buddha-kṣetra, and this world is clearly not pure.
This world is not pure because we are not pure. Pure Land sentient beings are pure.
You are mistaken. Again, a buddha-kṣetra is not necessarily pure just by virtue of it being a buddha's realm. Our world is a buddha-realm. It is not pure.
Our world is not a Buddha-realm.
Buddha realms exist as tools to liberate sentient beings.
Where did I suggest a nihilistic understanding?
Maybe you did not. My delusion.
Again, you don't know my background, so cease with such judgements.
True. However, I was just making a comparison of how suffering affects how people see life. People who cannot afford a proper meal and access to medical treatments will definitely want to get out of their situation. Likewise, suffering sentient beings want to be liberated if they have a chance such as Pure Land or paradise as you had believed before.
I said Pure Land practice is not appropriate for serious bodhisattva aspirants. The Mahāyāna was in ancient times conceived of as a vehicle of Buddhism for a few good men -- one which required extreme dedication and endurance well beyond that which was required to become an arhat. This meant that few would be expected to undertake bodhisattva aspirations as it was long road of toil and effort. To that effect I think a lot of Mahāyāna ideas are not going to be readily adopted and carried out by most people, and in my experience this is actually the case as more often than not the ideals of the Mahāyāna get little more than mere lip service much of the time.
This is the realm of scholars and book learning which does not reflect reasoning and true understanding of Buddhism as a whole.
On this special occasion, practice is essential.
So, those who have bodhisattva aspirations would bite the bullet and take suffering as an opportunity to grow and cultivate themselves for the benefit of others rather than expecting to be saved via the salvation of some greater being.
I must admire this attitude. And I encourage you to get off this forum and focus on your practice or things that you have been speaking of here. Otherwise, you might be lip servicing there.
I would like to take the elevator to get there faster. If you want to take the stairs, then by all means.
And there is no separation between Buddhas' minds and sentient beings' minds. This is why the more you give, the more you will receive. What belongs to your father you will inherit. Likewise with Amitabha who is enlightened, he liberates sentient beings through Pure Land. And through reciting Amitabha, his merits and purity will develop in you.
Different strokes for different folks.
Suffering is still disagreeable sensation to the poor, hungry and sick, just as much as it is to the spoiled kid who laments being unable to buy a new Playstation. The former might receive more pity than the latter, but the experience is still disagreeable sensation no matter how you look at it.
No doubt. But I am sure your suffering affects you in a different way from the poor, sick, and hungry. And therefore it affects how you see the world [Dharma and dharmas] differently from them.

Plans for a memorial commemorating the victims of the Oct. 12, 2011, mass killings at Salon Meritage in Seal Beach are moving slowly.
The city staff had expected to present the memorial proposal Monday to the City Council for a final vote on the plans. However, the item was not on the agenda.
Tim Kelsey, the city's recreation manager who is coordinating the memorial project, said the council would most likely review the proposal at its meeting on Feb. 11.
Thursday, City Manager Jill Ingram said the staff plans to discuss the memorial plans with state Coastal Commission officials.
"We don't want to make an assumption that they'll be in agreement with us," she said.
A citizens committee - known as the Salon Meritage Memorial Committee - in September began to focus on the First Street Beach as a location for the memorial.
In the mass killing, a gunman stormed the hair salon at 500 Pacific Coast Highway and shot nine people, killing eight. It was the worst mass killing in Orange County history.
Scott Evans Dekraai, the ex-husband of one of the victims, is awaiting trial in the slayings.
The memorial committee shifted from the originally considered site, Eisenhower Park - a 1.4-acre greenbelt adjacent to the pier - to the First Street Beach location, when the latter's relatively isolated features seemed more appealing as a spot for quiet reflection.
In August, the council selected Costa Mesa-based David Volz Design to prepare a proposal for the memorial. The contract for the work is $29,000.
Raves for Ravi's ragas
World-renowned sitarist and composer Ravi Shankar, who died this week, gave his last concert last month at the Terrace Theater.
In a telephone interview before his Long Beach concert, Shankar - considered a world citizen - said he was enjoying life in Encinitas, the quiet and cozy beach town north of San Diego.
"I love it so much," he said, adding that he'd lived there almost 20 years. "I'm lucky to have a beautiful home."
At age 92, Shankar continued to compose music "all the time," he said.
At the Terrance concert, his daughter, Anoushka Shankar - considered one of the leading figures in world music today - played during the first segment of the concert, and then escorted her father onto the stage, to a standing ovation, according to Jeff Miller, of Belmont Shore.
"He was very frail," added Miller, a Shankar fan since the late 1960s.
Shankar had performed for the public since the age of 10, originally as a dancer. He switched to playing the sitar at 19.
When playing and composing, Shankar said his introspective periods enhance his music, adding: "To me, music comes from a vision inside, an inner spiritual state."
Second Street blues
The casual visitor to the Second Street retail and restaurant row might not notice any problems, but there's a considerable amount of crime in that Belmont Shore area.
The Belmont Shore Residents Association reports that in November, two robberies and two assaults took place, according to police statistics.
There also were two vandalism cases on Second, along with three commercial burglaries and seven petty thefts - including a stolen bike - among the 17 reported crimes for the whole area. email@example.com, 562-714-2167, twitter.com/JoeSeguraPT

Teams from near and far will roll into Chiefland next week for the 10th annual State Tee-Ball Tournament.
The event will be played from June 12-16 at Strickland Park.
Chiefland Area Athletic Association president Wayne Weatherford said that a whopping 22 organizations have committed to coming.
That adds up to a lot of extra business for local restaurants, motels, supermarkets, convenience stores and other retailers.
We're sure kids and their families will be cooling off at Manatee and Fanning Springs during down time.

Post subject: The President's Cacheside Chat (December 2005)
Even with the approaching holidays and perfect caching weather, the MnGCA Board has been busy working towards meeting the goals I had set for myself, the Board, and the Association this past fall.
short story
for those of you only interested in the important big picture: Three Rivers, DNR, and website updates as well as failed motions for a Spring Event committee, approvals of the geocoin artwork proof, 2006 CITO, and grovels for front page submissions. See, short and sweet
For those of you looking for just about *everything*, here you go:
I have a couple follow-ups to the points that I raised in the November Cacheside Chat. Obviously when I wrote that some things were on-going and we have some updates. Others have finished up and I can close them out:
1. Due to the nature of our activity and the in and out nature of our players, we discussed and implemented changes to purge our voter roles of those that might have become uninterested in continued participation. This will remain an automated yearly process beginning this May.
The 12/1/2005 database migration went off with only one minor glitch that extended the registration downtime from 12:30 to 1 AM. Everyone that was not in agreement with the Bylaws but was listed as an MnGCA Member was switched to Cache Games Only. In addition, everyone that was a valid MnGCA Member was automatically added to the MnGCA Members usergroup on the Forum so that they could be kept abreast of MnGCA communications and be able to vote in Members Only action. There were numerous notifications to the Forum and to the front page for this. Hopefully everyone that is even remotely active on the website noticed the upcoming changes. If not, its a simple three click process to reverse the changes.
Some other backend work was included to make sure that the usergroup remained members only when users switched back and forth. We also purged user accounts on MnGCA.org that were not validated within 30 days of creation. This will occur every 30 days from here out and users are warned of it during registration. Anyone who had their account removed due to an inactive status is free to re-register and provide a valid e-mail address for authentication purposes.
As we said before, the purging of our voter roles will occur every year on May 1st at midnight. This process will keep our voter roles clean and eliminate the issues tied with having too many inactive members.
2. Based on some previous discussion and the positive response that other geocaching organizations have received, we went about creating a system to receive and process calendar image submissions which will eventually become the 2006 MnGCA Calendar available on Cafepress to anyone.
The calendar voting has closed and is now for sale on Cafepress (see here:
for more information). Thanks to all those that submitted and voted! Pear Head did an excellent job getting this all put together and out the door on such short notice. Thanks go out to him as well for all the hard work with sorting through the submissions, creating the forum voting sections, and posting all the thumbnails, etc. Awesome job!
4. Looking to prepare for our future DNR discussions and planning, soon after taking office, I contacted Marlene at the Three Rivers Parks District with an offer to revise their current policy and make it more cacher and park district friendly. We have already provided them with a proposed policy very similar to that of our own Duluth policy and will be presenting it to them in mid-November.
As most of you know, the Three Rivers policy presentation occurred in mid-November and went off without a hitch. We have posted the presentation (in PPS/zipped) format and the announcement for that is located here:
Were still waiting to hear back about its adoption as the Three Rivers Park District Board hadnt met since we made the presentation.
5. Weve been brainstorming ideas on how we should approach the DNR and what our proposed policy should be like. Obviously, its likely that our direction and ideas will change based upon the lessons learned from the final outcome of our Three Rivers talks.
The MnGCA Board made preliminary contact with the DNR and worked with several members of their staff to setup a policy discussion meeting for mid December. We made the official announcement of our discussions with them on December 1st and its posted here:
We will keep everyone updated on any future plans, updates, and outcome of those discussions.
6. Based on the success of the Geocoin Committee and my commitment to the association to have more committee based participation in the organization, we came up with and posted a call for the creation of a Spring Event committee to prepare, plan, and carry out the Spring Event in 2006. Sadly, as of yet, not a single person has stepped forward to join the committee.
The 2006 MnGCA Sprint Event committee opening was closed without a single member expressing interest. I believe towlebooth had asked what would happen if there wasnt enough interest in the committee and I answered that the MnGCA Board would then carry out the planning, preparations, and hosting of the event as we have in the past.
Currently we are only in the very beginning planning stages and are doing some minimal research on where, when, how. Right now all that I can say is that the event will likely be held somewhere near the metro and in May or June of 2006.
Well keep you posted.
And now that Im done boring you to death w/the old stuff, lets move on to some new business:
1. The 2006 MnGCA Board had its first Board meeting on 12/3/05 in Minneapolis and various topics were discussed including Policy/Park Relations, the MnGCA.org website updates/webhost/domain/Forum, Committees, Events, and general MnGCA Business.
The minutes from this meeting are posted under your cacher page:
and are viewable to all registered MnGCA Members who are logged in.
2. International CITO Day (Sponsored by Groundspeak) will be held on April 22nd, 2006. The MnGCA is looking to get an event together and if anyone is interested in planning please contact the MnGCA Board here:
Were not going to ask for a committee to be formed but if anyone is interested in moving in that direction please contact me privately and well be happy to setup a private forum for your discussions.
3. Were looking for more Front Page article submissions. Thanks go out to RubberToes for writing the informative article on Dressing Up Your Cache Page. If you are looking to spice up you cache pages with some great looking photos and HTML work, check out his article here:
I asked eagleyes to submit an article on geocaching Up North (in and around the Minnesota Iron Rage) and they are currently working on the final draft of that exciting article. Look for it to show up on the main page soon!
If you are interested in contributing your own articles (about events, geocaching tips/trick, or whatever) please contact the Board here:
and Ill get your stuff posted ASAP.
If you have any questions about this please dont hesitate to post below or ask privately.
4. The MnGCA Board has contacted two local municipal parks districts that had expressed interest in geocaching in their parks. Both had approached other individuals who had pointed them to the MnGCA for answers to their questions. While we are not in policy talks with these two local park districts it is nice to know that we have an open line of communication with numerous park officials in case the need arises.
Happy Holidays and happy cachin,
Silent Bob

Fishing Reports
Saturday of Labour Weekend
29 October 2014
0 0
A busy week, but with boat work rather than fishing. Antifouling and periodic mechanical maintenance being part of the fun of owning a boat.
Fortunately, getting regular use is one of big things in keeping things ticking along.
We did get the Saturday of Labour Weekend in, and had a good day out with a nice mix of fishers. The fishing was fairly hard though, we stayed inside Motiti at first , then worked around the Okaparus where we did get onto a few more, mainly tarakihi. Everyone ended up with fish to take home and the day got better and better weatherwise, all in all not a bad day.

Nice Lupin, thanks for sharing.
Well I have been threatening to do it for a while, and now I have finally gotten around to it.
I have written a tutorial on how to develop a windows stack based buffer overflow exploit, using BackTrack 4 PreFinal as the development/attacking platform.
This is the first tutorial in a series of tutorials that I am planning to write, and the next entry (on SEH Stack Based Windows Buffer Overflows), is already complete and I will post a link to it in a separate HowTo thread.
Why did I write this? Well there are a few reasons, not the least of which is that I find the subject interesting, but the reason that Im posting this here relates to Metasploit.
A lot of the problems I see here with people running Metasploit could be resolved if said people were aware of how exploitation products worked before they tried to use them. Basically Metasploit is just a framework of tools that make exploits easier to use, and under the covers it essentially uses exploits exactly like the ones I will show you how to create to take control of systems.
If I respond to one of your Metasploit questions with a link to this tutorial, its because I think your ability to use Metasploit would benefit from learning how buffer overflow exploits really work by actually learning to create them.
The tutorial is available here on my blog.
The Grey Corner: Stack Based Windows Buffer Overflow Tutorial
Questions here are welcome, but make sure you meet all of the requirements listed at the top of the document and that you make an effort to resolve the problem yourself first before asking anything.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Nice Lupin, thanks for sharing.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Indeed, very nice job lupin Thank you. Looking forward to more.
Nice write up. The blogs looking promising I'm going to stick it in my favorites. Keep up the good work.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and vein in the lungs. As a result, blood passes through the lungs without receiving enough oxygen.
Arteriovenous malformation - pulmonary
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas are usually the result of abnormal development of the blood vessels of the lung. Most occur in patients with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROWD) – now commonly called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). These patients often have abnormal blood vessels in many parts of the body, including the lung.
Fistulas also can be a complication of liver disease or lung injury, although this is much less common.
Many people have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they can include:
Other possible symptoms include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. The exam may show:
Tests that may be done include:
A small number of patients who have no symptoms may not need treatment. For most patients with fistulas, the treatment of choice is to block the fistula during an arteriogram (embolization).
Some patients may need surgery to remove the abnormal vessels and nearby lung tissue.
When arteriovenous fistulas are caused by liver disease, the treatment is a liver transplant.
The outlook for patients with HHT is not as good as for those without HHT. For patients without HHT, surgery to remove the abnormal vessels usually has a good outcome, and the condition is not likely to return.
Major complications after treatment for this condition are unusual. Complications may include:
Call your health care provider if you often have nosebleeds or difficulty breathing, especially if you also have a personal or family history of HHT.
Because this condition is often genetic, prevention is not usually possible.

Arcade Fire responds to dress code criticism
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
Arcade Fire is asking critics of the band's so-called concert dress code to "please relax."
The Canadian indie rockers took to Facebook Wednesday to explain that the instructions to "wear formal attire or costume" at their upcoming tour stops are "super not mandatory."
They simply thought it would add to the "fun carnival" atmosphere of their shows if everyone on stage and off was "in it together." The band added that the costume party gigs they recently put on in New York, Montreal, and other cities have been the best they've ever played.
Arcade Fire's "Reflektor Tour" is scheduled to start March 6th in Louisville, Kentucky. Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 22nd.

This spring, NCIDQ relocated to a new office in Washington, D.C., with the goal of achieving LEED- CI Silver certification. Since its completion, I've wanted to know what impact the design process had on the NCIDQ staff and how they might compare to an average client.
NCIDQ experienced firsthand what "interior design" entails in a corporate setting. I was curious how the LEED process and "going green" might be affecting its employees. I talked to our design team at Perkins+Will, and I asked NCIDQ staff to share their thoughts with me about the design process and the finished space...

The culture of individualism suffered a major setback this week in the home of the mythic rugged individual. As Barack Obama accepted victory in the US presidential election on Wednesday morning, he was also quick to claim a mandate for the communitarian ethos - a faith in the common good over strictly private interest - that was central to his campaign.
"The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations," he intoned, in language that reflects the theology of the social gospel.
Whatever the style of Obama's oratory, be it Ivy League-educated professor or radical community organiser from the south side of Chicago, there has been a recurring theme to his thinking. We heard it first when he was a Senate candidate for Illinois addressing the 2004 Democratic conference. "It is the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper."
That phrase might not be strictly biblical but the tone and the intent are: that we are all in this together; part of "the one body", language that certainly is biblical.
It has become the leitmotif of a reborn, if occasionally halting, progressive movement in the US that is trying to reconnect with its roots in religion, in faith-in-action. A Catholic nun, Sister Simone Campbell, became the surprise star of this year's Democratic convention when she gave a barn-burning speech very much in the vein of being the keeper of my brethren.
As Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, a Baptist minister in Boston and sociologist at the prestigious Colby College in Maine, points out, Obama is very much in tune with the core of African-American theology. The teaching in Matthew's gospel about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and sheltering the stranger - of "whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me" - is, says Gilkes, "the canon within the canon".
It is a canon long shared by liberal Protestants and evangelicals, with a proud history in the anti-slavery and women's suffrage movements. It is a canon common to Catholics who have imbibed their church's teaching on the preferential option for the poor. This election in particular was distinguished by having two vice-presidential candidates who represented starkly different understandings of Catholic doctrine.
Democrat Joe Biden is a classic "social justice" Catholic - union hall and Irish tavern, "Joey from [hardscrabble] Scranton", to his core. Republican Paul Ryan was on the record naming the radical individualist philosopher Ayn Rand as the "one thinker, one person" he would credit with his decision to enter politics.
So Americans knew what they were getting when they voted for the Obama ticket, twice and convincingly. They knew what they were getting in 2008, after he said he wanted to "spread the wealth around". And they knew in 2012, when he told business executives, whose companies had benefited from a publicly educated workforce and publicly provided roads and bridges, "you didn't build that".
Voters in three populous and electorally important states - Massachusetts, Ohio and Wisconsin - also knew what they were getting when they voted for Senate candidates Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown and Tammy Baldwin. They all stood on unambiguously communitarian platforms that demanded sacrifices from the economic elite to match the sacrifices of America's poor and middle class.
But none of this should be surprising because, as one of America's leading public intellectuals, E.J. Dionne, argues in his new book, Our Divided Political Heart, the history of the US is one of tension between its communitarian and individualist impulses.
If the US election result is a swing to the left, it is only by default. Just as progressives forsook their religious antecedents and, unwittingly, helped create the now waning "religious right" in the US, as Dionne illustrates, communitarianism also has a rich heritage among conservatives. For a time, they defined themselves, with their language of family, neighbourhood and nation, by their opposition to self-centredness and hedonism.
If you take the word Republican, strip it of its capital letter, and turn it on its head, you get an idea of this important, if forgotten, strain in American history. The small ''r'' republicans believed in a civic patriotism of the common good. But in the past 30 years, US conservatives have veered into an individualism that looks more like the mantra of the ''me generation'' than the philosophy of Edmund Burke - the original conservative.
And for the second presidential election in a row, they have been rejected by their fellow citizens.

BEYONCE & DESTINY'S CHILD TO REUNITE Beyonce (Knowles) and the group that blasted her to superstardom, Destiny's Child, will reunite onstage when Beyonce headlines the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, according to Us Weekly.
And the trio, that also includes Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams and that formed in 1990 in Houston (Williams joined in 2000), will release its first new music in eight years, Beyonce confirmed.
Sources say that Beyonce will kick off her halftime stint by herself before bringing out the other two gals to perform a short medley of Destiny's Child's hits, as well as their new single, "Nuclear," which will be included on a new compilation album, "Love Songs," that will be released on Jan. 29. Then, Beyonce will finish the remainder of the set by herself for a big splashy finale that will see her premiere another new song, this one from her next upcoming thus-untitled solo CD.
NEW BOB SEGER TOUR Detroit rocker Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band will launch the first leg of their 2013 Rock and Roll Never Forgets Tour on Feb. 27 at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. The 11-date jaunt consists of six U.S. dates and five in Canada and wraps on April 2 at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
No information about the other upcoming legs of the tour has been announced.
Seger, who formed The Silver Bullet Band in 1974, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and The Songwriters Hall last year. His 1975 LP, "Beautiful Loser" went 2 x platinum, while "Night Moves" from 1976 and 1978's "Stranger in Town" sold 6 x platinum.
His 1980 CD, "Against the Wind" was certified 5 x platinum and four of his five studio albums since, except 1995's "It's a Mystery," also went platinum and "Mystery" went gold.
MORE ON BOWIE'S COMBACK Tony Visconti, the man who produced most of David Bowie's albums since "Space Oddity" in 1969, told Britain's Telegraph that he and the 66-year-old Thin White Duke recorded 29 songs for what became Bowie's first album in a decade, "The Next Day," that will be released March 12. Fourteen of those 29 songs made the album, with three more to be included on the deluxe edition.
Talking about his friend who pretty much retired after suffering a heart attack in 2004 and who underwent subsequent heart surgery, he added, "Bowie has found what he wants to do. He wants to make records. Nothing else."
Visconti talked further to Rolling Stone, saying, "All these rumors started going around about his health. Every time I had lunch with him, or coffee with him. my dear old friend was looking really good. But music didn't interest him (anymore), until two years ago. That's when he made the call.
He said, 'How would you like to make some demos?' I was a little shocked, quite honestly. It was just so casual."
Visconti continued, "He just said, 'I feel like writing again. In April of 2011 we went into a downtown New York studio. We only worked for two week periods. We would take as long as two months off after each period, and he would go off and write more stuff."
ALAN PARSONS PROJECT TO TOUR Alan Parsons was 18 in 1967 when he got a job at Abbey Road as an assistant engineer. His first credit on a record was on the last album The Beatles recorded as a group, "Abbey Road." He got his first Grammy nomination for engineering Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," which was also recorded at Abbey Road.
By 1975, he was in a position to say no to Floyd when they asked him to engineer "Wish You Were Here." Instead he formed The Alan Parsons Project.
The group, that included singer-songwriter Eric Woolfson, involved an ever-changing group of British progressive rock musicians, mostly session players. The group, powered by such hits as "Eye in the Sky" and "Time," went on to sell more than 50 million records. The group called it quits in 1990, although Parsons has toured a couple of times under the group's name.
The Alan Parsons Live Project will launch The Greatest Hits Tour, a rare American jaunt consisting of eight shows on Feb. 14 at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce, Fla. Among the stops is the Boulder Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Feb. 23 before wrapping it up the next day at the Uptown Theatre in Napa. After that, The Alan Parsons Live Project will tour Europe March 15-30.
MOTOWN LEGENDS SET FOR OBAMA INAUGURATION Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder are but two of the stars set to perform at the balls celebrating President Obama's inauguration, the White House announced. Other performers at various balls include Alicia Keys, Usher, Brad Paisley, Marc Anthony, John Legend and Katy Perry. James Taylor, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce will perform at Obama's actual swearing in on the steps of the capitol on Jan. 19.
STEVE HOWE QUITS ASIA Guitarist Steve Howe of prog-rock legends Yes, who formed the side project supergroup Asia in 1981 with ELP drummer Carl Palmer, Yes keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer-bassist John Wetton of King Crimson and Uriah Heep, has left that group.
In a statement on his website, the 65-year-old Londoner said he left the group in order to concentrate on his other projects that include an upcoming American tour of Yes. That ambitious 25-date jaunt (not including MSC Cruise Lines' "Cruise to the Edge" sea voyage from Ft. Lauderdale March 25-30) will see the band performing three albums in their entirety, 1971's "The Yes Album," 1972's "Close to the Edge" and 1977's "Going for the One."
That tour stops at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A. on March 6 and at Pechanga Resort in Temecula on March 8.
Asia, meanwhile, announced that young unknown British guitarist Sam Coulson will take Howe's place, although no shows have been scheduled since the group's U.K. tour in December was cancelled due to a severe case of E. coli food poisoning that hit Palmer, marking the first time in 47 years that he was forced to cancel a performance.
NEW CROSBY, STILLS & NASH TOUR Those iconic folk-rock warhorses, Crosby, Stills and Nash, who formed in late 1968 in the Hollywood Hills (its seeds can be traced to a party at Mama Cass Elliot's house), are once again hitting the road, the band announced.
The trio that emerged from The Byrds (Crosby), Stills (The Buffalo Springfield) and The Hollies (Nash) are undertaking a 13-date run mostly across Florida and the South fromMay 5-25, before touring Germany June 20 through July 2 with a couple of tour-ending shows in Paris at the Olympia on July 4-5.
THE MAVERICKS' CD POSTPONED AGAIN Country pop band The Mavericks, that formed in Miami in 1989, have again bumped back the release date for "In Time," its first album in a decade since the group broke up in 2003 and reunited last year. The five-some, fronted by velvet-voiced Raul Malo, initially scheduled the album to come out last September. Then it was bumped to Jan. 29, but it is now set to be released Feb. 26.
The group has an interesting month this month. They've got a couple of dates in Nashville this weekend, including at the Grand Ole Opry. Then, they're off to Glasgow, Scotland for a gig at the Royal Concert Hall before returning to New York City for a show at the Bowery Ballroom on the 29 th.
FINALLY, OZZY AND SABBATH HAVE ALBUM TITLE Black Sabbath still doesn't have an exact release date for their first album with Ozzy Osbourne in 35 years, but they do have the month and its title.
The guys settled on "13" as the title and June as the month. They also have some live dates set. Sabbath will be touring Australia and New Zealand in April, followed by an appearance at Ozzfest Japan in May.
KEITH URBAN JOINED BY JOHN TRAVOLTA Country music star Keith Urban, an Australian, was performing at the star-packed G'Day USA charity event at the Marriott at L.A. Live in downtown L.A. when he was joined by non-Aussie John Travolta, who was honored as a Goodwill Ambassador for Australia (his pal, former honoree Olivia Newton-John was in attendance). The two then performed a duet on The Beatles' "Yesterday." Australian pop hit-makers Air Supply were also among the performers.
SOCAL PUNK FEST SET The lineup for the Musink Tattoo Convention and Music Festival at the O.C. Fairgrounds, March 8-10, includes such veteran punk, rockabilly and psychobilly acts as Bad Religion, The Vandals, The Reverend Horton Heat, T.S.O.L., Guttermouth, Pennywise and Lucero.
SHINDIG! HOST/FAMED '60 s L.A. DJ JIMMY O'NEILL DIES Jimmy O'Neill, the first DJ on the air after KRLA switched from country western to rock and roll in 1959 when he was still a teenager, and later the co-creator with Chuck Barris and host of the ABC prime time music show, "Shindig!," died at his West Hollywood home at 73, according to a post on his Facebook page from his daughter Katy. His son, James, said his father had diabetes and heart problems.
KRLA, joined by KHJ and KFWB, all AM stations in Los Angeles, and their stable of DJs, attained mammoth popularity and influence in the rock music scene of the '60 s. O'Neill, Wink Martindale, Bob Eubanks, Dave "The Hullaballooer" Hull, the "Real" Don Steele, "Emperor" Bob Hudson, Sam Riddle, Robert W. Morgan, "Reb" Foster, B. Mitch Reed, Roger Christian (who wrote hit songs at the time with Brian Wilson), Casey Kasem, Dick Biondi, Art Laboe (still on the air with a syndicated show at age 87), Johnny Hayes and others became big stars, many going into television, including O'Neill.
"Shindig!" ran weekly on ABC from September 1964 through January 1966 and featured virtually every major pop, rock and soul act in the business, including The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, The Beach Boys, James Brown, The Byrds, Leslie Gore, Sonny and Cher, Leslie Gore, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Supremes, The Turtles and the show's first guests, The Righteous Brothers.
Such was O'Neill's celebrity that he voiced an animated caricature of himself called Jimmy O'Neillstone on a December 1965 episode of the prime time cartoon series, "The Flintstones," titled "Shinrock A-Go-Go" that saw him introduce guests The Beau Brummels (as The Beau Brummelstones) and Fred Flintstone doing the latest dance craze, the Flintstone Frantic.
Billy Hinsche of Dino, Desi and Billy thanked O'Neill on his Facebook page, for "giving us the opportunity to do his groundbreaking show on May 12, 1965."
Donna Loren, who starred in five of the Frankie and Annette beach musical comedies, including "Beach Blanket Bingo" and was a regular on "Shindig!," appearing in at least 27 episodes, said in an email when she saw him at an event a couple of years ago at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood celebrating "Shindig!, "I was happy for him to be recognized and honored for his contribution to our pop culture; furthermore, delighted to hear his voice resonate as richly as it had in those golden days."
"It should also be noted that Jimmy O'Neill began booking '50 s beatnik hangout Pandora's Box (Sunset Strip) in 1962 and with that, pretty much started the teenage nightclub trend during the '60 s that would follow in '63 when Bob Eubanks opened Cinnamon Cinder and in '64 when the Whisky A Go Go opened. Jimmy's club was first, and he did it by booking local acts just breaking then, such as Jackie DeShannon, Dobie Gray and The Beach Boys, who did a residency there for about a month," emailed Dominick Priore, author of "Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood."
NEW RELEASES Among the recently released albums, digital reissues and deluxe box sets are "Fade," the 13 th studio album in 27 years from New Jersey indie outfit Yo La Tengo; "Beautiful" is the album that soul singer Teena Marie was recording at the time of her death the day after Christmas, 2010, that her daughter worked on to its completion; "Far Away Places: Live at 54 BELOW" from Broadway star Patti LuPone; "Ziggy Marley in Concert" from the reggae scion's 2012 world tour and Johnny Mathis' remastered 1984 album, "A Special Part of Me - Expanded Edition" with two bonus tracks.
"Live from Stern Grove Festival" captures 75-year-old Latin jazz percussionist Pete Escovedo in concert last year; "Greatest Hits Live 1" from Hank Williams Sr.; an import, "Vol. 1-2 Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music" from Ray Charles; "It's The Talk Of The Town" from Stan Kenton and his orchestra in 1953; a CD/DVD from 1979, "In Session at Paradise Studio" from J.J. Cale that includes live takes on his compositions "Cocaine," "After Midnight" and "Crazy Mama" with his pal Leon Russell sitting in; a 2-CD 24-track import, "Andy Williams Swings the Great American Songbook;" and "Round About Midnight" from Miles Davis.
Among the new vinyl issues are "Clear Spot" from Captain Beefheart; "Young, Loud & Snotty" by punkers The Dead Boys, led by Stiv Bators, who was hit by a taxi in Paris in 1990 and killed; "Dilate" from indie rock-folkie Ani DeFranco; and "Le Vie En Rose" from French cabaret singer Edith Piaf, who died of liver cancer at her villa on the French Riviera at 47.
Box sets just out include "Schenker, Michael - Temple of Rock: Live in Europe Limited Deluxe Edition" from the former lead guitarist for The Scorpions and UFO; and a 4-CD pack, "Special Edition," from jazz drummer-pianist-composer Jack DeJohnette.
Recent DVDs and Blu-rays include "The Carpenters - Live Rarities," recorded in 1971-1972; "The Ronnie Lane Band: Live at Rockpalast," from The Small Faces bassist-singer recorded on the German TV show in 1980 and featuring original Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart (also available on CD); "Live: Skeletons & Majesties" from German speed metal vets Gamma Ray; "Al Green - Let's Stay Together - The Broadcast Archives;" "Willie Nelson Live in Concert;" Brit prog jazz-rockers "Colosseum - In Concert" and "10 cc - In Concert."
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what one of them is doing.
Blues and rock band Hot Tuna is a spinoff group from legendary San Francisco psychedelic rockers The Jefferson Airplane that lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, whose solos defined the Bay Area's trademark acid rock sound, and distinctive bassist Jack Cassidy formed in 1969 while still flying in The Airplane.
The Airplane broke up in 1972, mostly because Kaukonen and Cassidy quit to pursue a career as Hot Tuna.
While The Airplane, led by singer-rhythm guitarist and prime composer Paul Kantner, singer-songwriter Marty Balin and singer-songwriter Grace Slick, morphed into The Jefferson Starship and had such major hits as "Ride the Tiger," "Miracles," "Count on Me," and "Jane," while registering nine gold and platinum albums through 1984, when Kantner left.
However, the rest of the band continued on simply as Starship and continued to score hits like "We Built This City," "Sara," and the 1987 soft pop smash "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," by Albert Hammond and Diane Warren that topped Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart, as well as its adult contemporary chart and also went No. 1 in Canada, the U.K., and Ireland. Slick left in 1988 and retired from music the following year to become a full-time artist after The Jefferson Airplane reunited for an album and one final tour.
Kantner fired up The Jefferson Starship again in 1992 with guitarist Slick Aguilar and has been leading that ever since. Former Quicksilver Messenger Service co-founding singer-guitarist David Freiberg joined in 2005.
Meanwhile, Hot Tuna has carried with a couple of breaks here and there for the past 40 years. The band has never had a hit album or single but they have a very loyal and devoted fan base. The group, still led by Kaukonen, 72, and Cassidy, 68, has been content to perform in intimate clubs for years and perform either as The Acoustic Hot Tuna or The Electric Hot Tuna.
Hot Tuna have a few dozen concert dates scheduled this year as does Kaukonen as a solo artist. Kaukonen is performing on Jan. 27 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, north of San Diego; at the SoHo in Santa Barbara on Jan. 29; and has shows at 8 and 10 p.m. on Feb. 1-2 at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica.
The Acoustic Hot Tuna will be on the road throughout February and into early March and also throughout June. The Electric Hot Tuna will play five shows back east during the last week in July.
Interestingly, the group has an acoustic gig at the Fur Peace Station in Pomeroy, Ohio on Sept. 21 and an electric show there coming up on Nov. 9. Both of these shows are already sold out.

Alta • Even in bright sunshine, temperatures were chilly Monday. And only a light dusting of new snow softened hard-packed surfaces.
While those factors may have kept Presidents Day ski crowds from overwhelming the Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts, as in some past years, the parking lots at Alta and Snowbird were nearly full by early afternoon a good sign on an extended weekend crucial for the ski industry.
"We had a very average Presidents weekend, not as busy as last year," said Alta spokeswoman Connie Marshall. "The Alta lodges, though, all had a full weekend."
Added Snowbird spokeswoman Emily Moench: "[We] saw good visitation from both locals and out-of-state visitors, with the highest hotel occupancy of the season."
Their observations mirror ski-season lodging trends.
Occupancy at Utah mountain resorts was 68 percent in January, up from 65 percent the same month a year earlier, according to the Denver-based Rocky Mountain Lodging Report. Another winter-tourism monitor, the Mountain Travel Research Program, said February bookings across the West are up 14.5 percent over last year.
At Alta, 77-year-old Stan Chrest, of Rye, N.H., had no complaints about the weather or the snow. He was nearing the tail end of a two-week trip to Utah with the Hard Luck Kelly Ski Club "We call ourselves an Irish drinking club with a skiing problem" and just enjoying the scenery and carving turns on snow that's "better than anything New Hampshire has."
Chrest said his group has come to Utah for 14 or 15 years now because, with so many resorts in the central Wasatch mountains, club members have plenty of choices. That's helpful in keeping 20 people with differing abilities and tastes happy, noted the retired Air Force atmospheric researcher.
Chris Stanton, an assistant professor in finance at the University of Utah, didn't find many pockets of soft snow in his off-trail forays Monday with U. ophthalmologist Alison Crum. But they were satisfied with what was available.
"It's beautiful for me," said Crum. "Sunshine, blue skies. And I like [the snow] a little more packed with this kind of fluff on top. I expected it to be busier, but it's probably not because it's not a powder day."
For Sean Fyfe, 42, of Sandy, it was a great day to be outside, not working. "It's nice, sunny, a little brisk. The snow is picked over, but it's still nice."
Sierra Hartman, a 10-year-old from Draper, put her 5th Grade Passport to use Monday. The Ski Utah passport allows fifth-graders to ski free twice at each of the state's 14 resorts.
Sierra normally skis at Snowbird, where her older brothers have season passes. But she used the holiday to go up to Alta, where her mom, Ann, skied in her youth.
From the Sugarloaf chair, Sierra marveled at the speed of a distant skier hurtling down Alta's Backside. "Wow, mom, look at that guy flying down," she said, adding, "I like to go fast. I like the trees. And I love bumps, but not if they're like big moguls."
"She is a daredevil," mom said proudly.
At Canyons Resort, spokesman Steve Pastorino said the weekend went well "at close to 100 percent capacity in the rooms, but plenty of room on the slopes."
Sunny skies also prevailed through the weekend at Brian Head Resort above Cedar City.
"While the sun was out, the snow stayed great with temperatures near freezing," said spokesman Josh Madsen.

The idea for a Bicentennial celebration in Dallas was raised by prominent civic leaders as early as 1971, and, after continued discussions and meeting held by private citizens, the Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Committee was jointly established in February, 1974 by the City of Dallas, Dallas County, and the Dallas Chamber of Commerce. One month later, an outgrowth of this Committee was formed: the Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Corporation was incorporated in the Sate of Texas on 14 March 1974.
The non-profit Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Corporation (DARBC)was established for the purpose of coordination and Publicizing Bicentenial events and projects in the City of Dallas during the national celebration of the United States' 200th Anniversary. With a ten-member Board of Directors, the DARBC was headed by President John D. Torrey, Jr., retired Brigadier General of the United States Army.
Once the City of Dallas had been officially designated a Bicentennial City on 11 November 1974 by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA), the DARBC began working under the guidelines established by the ARBA. The ARBA desired grass roots involvement in celebrating the Bicentennial and the DARBC was the local agency responsible for creating and managing a Dallas Bicentennial interest. The DARBC therefore reviewed all proposals from individuals and groups who wished to sponsor a Bicentennial event in Dallas. If the proposal passed the DARBC's standards, the project was designated as an official Bicentennial event.
The DARBC sponsored several projects of its own, even though its funding was extremely limited. A one-time public fund raising campaign was held in January, 1975 in which a coupon was run in both of the leading Dallas newspapers, requesting contributions from the general public, and a letter was sent to 1965 private corporations soliciting donations. Approximately $110,000 was raised through these efforts.
Bicentennial events grew in frequency all through 1975 and 1976 as the DARBC worked with hundreds of civic groups, churches, and schools. The culmination of this activity and the climax of the DARBC's efforts took place in the "Dallas Celebrates America" week, July 1-5, 1976 and the observance of the nation's Bicentennial. With the celebration completed, the Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial was voluntarily dissolved on 1 December 1976.
The collection covers the lifespan of the Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Corporation (DARBC), 1974-1976, and provides insights into all of its activities. The records are divided into four series: Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Corporation (DARBC), Major Events, Projects Resource File, and Memorabilia.
The DARBC series includes the following subseries: Organization and History, Board of Directors, Committees, Correspondence, Personnel, Budget, In-House Operations, Projects, and Publicity. These subseries are a record of the internal substructure of the DARBC.
The Organization and History section gives a very thorough coverage of the life of the Corporation. Materials starts with the resolutions in February, 1974 adopted by the City of Dallas endorsing the establishment of such a corporation, through the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, the purposes and goals, and end with the dissolution of the DARBC on 1 December 1976. No formal dissolution contract was ever drawn up but there are rough drafts and some correspondence on this matter between corporate officers.
The Committees file is divided into a minutes of meetings section and a correspondence and organization section. Under both of these subdivisions the various committees are listed alphabetically. The same committee is not necessarily represented in both sections.
The two major correspondents found in the correspondence section are S.L. Abbott, the Regional Director of the ARBA, and Lillian Bradshaw, Director of the Dallas Public Library. Most of the correspondence in this collection is filed with the subject that it deals with and has not been separated and placed in this Correspondence segment.
The DARBC received no direct funding from any government bodies. The DARBC had to rely on its own fund raising campaigns. These included the newspaper coupon drive, asking corporations for donations, the management and sale of the Dallas Bicentennial medallions, and the sale of U.S. Postal Service Bicentennial memorabilia packages and cachet covers. All of the operations are fully documented in the Budget file.
The In-House Operations section covers the DARBC's use of Bicentennial artwork, the creation of calendars of Dallas Bicentennial events, and the mailing list for distribution of Bicentennial materials to Dallas community leaders. The DARBC received a large amount of literature from manufacturers of Bicentennial novelties and this has been compiled into a resource file in the In-House Operations sub-series. Correspondence from citizens and groups suggest project ideas has also been filed in the In-House Operation segment.
There is a large Publicity section and this is to be expected since one of the main functions of the DARBC was to inform the Dallas community of the upcoming Bicentennial events. Besides the newsletters, press releases, speeches, and media correspondence there were two unusual publicity methods employed by the DARBC. One was a booth ser up at the Holiday Shopper's Show in Dallas in November, 1975 to distribute pamphlets and provide information on celebrating the Bicentennial. The other was the Dallas Bicentennial Speaker's Bureau, a group of volunteers who spoke to various organizations on the history of the American Revolution and how individuals or groups could participate in the Dallas celebration of the Bicentennial.
The second series, Major Events, is divided into two sections: "Dallas Celebrates America" July 1-5, July 1976, and the American Freedom Train Visit to Dallas, 29 February - 4 March 1976. The sheer number of participants and the size of the audience separates these two events from other Bicentennial projects which were also being administered by the DARBC.
The DARBC had to arrange a site in Dallas for the American Freedom Train, provide accommodations for its crew, schedule the visits of school children, organize daily entertainment at the Train's location, publicize the event, and manage the sale of tickets, This burden of responsibilities taxed the abilities of the DARBC and the full administrative account is contained in these records.
Coordinating the "Dallas Celebrates America" celebration was the other major undertaking of the DARBC. This five day festival involved numerous civic groups and hundreds of citizens. The publicity arranged by the DARBC, its correspondence with sponsors, and a collection of pamphlets from various events, are all retained in this section.
The Projects Resource File series comprises the bulk of the material in this collection. This series was collected by the DARBC and is made up of records from various organizations involved in planning and sponsoring Bicentennial projects. The Projects Resource File has been divided into three geographical areas: local, State of Texas, and national. Each of these areas has been further divided into public agencies and private organizations. The State of Texas and the national areas also contain a separate subdivision of materials on their respective coordinating bodies.
The local records cover Bicentennial projects that took place in the City and County of Dallas. Public agencies represented include units of the United States Armed Forces which were involved in the participation of local events. The private sector has a large quantity of sponsors and groups and these have been divided into subject classifications. Besides the brochures and pamphlets that these projects generated, there is also in these files correspondence between the DARBC and these local groups since the DARBC reviewed their projects and coordinated their activities.
On the State of Texas level, the first elements are records of the American Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission of Texas that the DARBC compiled. Even though the Commission was the statewide coordinating body for all Bicentennial events, there is very little in these records to reflect this role. The majority of the files contain either publicity materials or accounts of three statewide workshops helf in 1974 and 1975.
The coordinating agency on the national level was the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA). The DARBC collected a large amount of brochures, calendars, newsletters, and documents on the ARBA's structure, goals, and activities.
The public agencies on the national level range from the Federal departments in Washington D.C. to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia. The projects of the public agencies and the private organizations are arranged alphabetically by sponsor. For both public and private projects, the DARBC accumulated a wide variety of correspondence and publications. These materials detail the scope of the projects and the activities of their sponsors.
The container list has the complete listing of all of the projects on the local, State of Texas, and national levels.
The fourth and final series, Memorabilia, has been divided by physical characteristics into the following categories: Newspaper Clippings, 1974-1976; Magazine Articles, 1975-1976; Photographs and Negatives; Slides; Artifacts; and Oversized Materials. While the three previous series were differentiated by their subject content, the Memorabilia series has no distinct subject orientation. It is arranged solely on physical format and contains material from all three preceding series. The researcher is advised to check both the separation record and the container list if he is interested in these types of materials.
The Newspaper Clippings are limited to Texas newspapers only. The Magazine articles segment is divided into Texas and national publications. The Photographs and Negatives file is separated into three sections based on the three series: Dallas American Revolution Bicentennial Corporation (DARBC). Major Events and Projects Resource File. There are Slides only from the Project Resource File series. All Artifacts are randomly stored within the three designated cartons for artifacts. All Oversized Materials are kept separate from the rest of the collection. Access to these materials is available trough the Archival Librarian.
This record series is indexed under the following controlled access subject terms.

The New York Giants are battling injuries across the board but on the bright side, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks have returned as limited participants to Thursday's practice. Neither of them were able to play in Week 3. Bradshaw is probable and Nicks remains questionable heading into a Week 4 divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Analysis:
Andre Brown proved his competence by rushing for 184 yards and three scores in the Giants' last two games. Even if Bradshaw is close to 100-percent, it's likely that Brown will see a healthy share of the touches out of the backfield. As for Nicks, this is a tough matchup defensively as Philadelphia has played relatively well against wide receivers this season. Rather than bench him, think of him as a high-end flex option as he'll still surely see close to double-digit targets. WR Ramses Barden looked great filling-in for Nicks, although he'll have a hard time replicating his numbers (nine receptions for 138 yards) against Philly even if he gets the start. Since it's a Sunday night game, be sure to monitor both players' status leading up to the game. In other news, safety Antrel Rolle , cornerback Jayron Hosley , linebacker Keith Rivers , and right tackle David Diehl did not practice fully.

The California common murre (Uria aalge californica) is a football-sized seabird with the tuxedo colors of penguins — except it can both fly in the air and dive down to 500 feet underwater.
This summer, seabird ecologists from the USGS Western Ecological Research Center and Channel Islands National Park are reporting that common murres are nesting in the Channel Islands for the first time since 1912.
A photo taken by Adams and Felis on July 12, 2011 on Prince Island. Image Credit: USGS.
The new colony is situated within bounds of Channel Islands National Park, California Coastal National Monument, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and the recently designated Harris Point California Marine Protected Area.
"This is an exciting and rare finding, certainly a historic one," says Josh Adams, who captured the photos with colleague Jonathan Felis. "The murres appear to have reestablished their former southern range."
Common murres are most abundant off central through northern California with tens to hundreds of thousands of birds nesting at the Farallon Islands, off Trinidad Head and Castle Rock National Wildlife Refuge.
But prior to 1912, murres also nested on Prince Island — a small islet off San Miguel Island in Channel Islands National Park. This colony became extinct a century ago, likely a result of human disturbance and egg harvesting.
This June and July, however, Adams and Felis spotted a new colony during their research trips to this remote windswept island. The birds were perched on precarious, 100-feet-high sea cliffs, so Adams and Felis had to sail out to Prince Island and use telephoto lenses to document proof of the new colony.
Using the photos, they counted some 125 birds, of which about 79 to 89 birds may be incubating eggs. Concrete evidence of breeding was established in a photo taken on July 12th, which revealed a single hatched eggshell. Several adults within the colony also appeared to be holding fish in their beak, and one adult appeared to be feeding a fish to a new hatchling.
Inset of the previous photo showings evidence of nesting and chick-feeding. The left red circle highlights an adult murre holding a fish in its bill. The center circle highlights a murre egg fragment, with the yellowish interior of the eggshell visible. The right circle highlights another adult murre also holding a fish, possibly attempting to feed the prey to a chick. Image Credit: USGS.
Parks biologist Laurie Harvey and Mike Parker later observed several well developed chicks on July 28, 2011.
Murres use their wings to propel themselves underwater. For the first two weeks of their life, murre chicks are fed at the colony by their parents, which use their wings to propel themselves underwater and dive for anchovies, sardines and juvenile rockfishes. At about two weeks of age, murre chicks waddle off the cliff edges to the surf below. They join their fathers, which raise the chicks at sea until they are capable of diving and feeding on their own.
"The conditions in the Santa Barbara Channel have been exceptionally productive with prey species during the last decade," says Adams, who has worked on Prince Island since 1999. "Although there are many factors that affect population redistribution and recovery, no doubt the murres at Prince Island are benefiting from present ocean conditions."
Adams says the return of the murre brings the number of local seabird species to 13, making Prince Island one of the most biodiverse and important nesting habitats along the entire West Coast. "Working together with our partners, we hope to continue to evaluate natural colony formation and expansion of murres at Prince Island in years to come."
