MWC 15 Special
1 July 2003 - mmO2's German business today announced the launch of ICQ mobile instant messaging services, enabling customers with a compatible handset to access the ICQ service on move. This follows a group wide agreement between mmO2 and America Online to bring AOL's popular instant messaging services (including ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)) to O2 subscribers across Europe. It is expected that services will roll out in the UK in the Autumn. AOL's instant messaging services are well-established worldwide brands, with tens of millions of active users each month.
Instant messaging (IM) provides real-time, easy access to communities of friends, family or colleagues. A user can see when his or her contacts or 'buddies' are online, and can begin instant, two-way text based 'conversations'. ICQ and AIM on O2 use the latest technology to recreate the PC/Internet experience via a mobile handset - messages can be sent from handset to handset, as well as between handsets and PCs, laptops and PDAs.
The service has the look and feel and functionality that users are familiar with, including registration, searching for and adding names to 'buddy' or contact lists, online status change, and message send and receive. New features have been added to make the service even easier for mobile users - including support for Tegic's T9 predictive text input and template phrases. The service is available on selected handsets - O2 and America Online will continue working to broaden the handset range.
Instant Messaging is the second most used application on the Internet (after email) - usage increased by 72% in the UK and 83% in Germany last year. Strategy Analytics suggests that "Instant Messaging will emerge as a staple application that will register strong wireless growth during 2003" and forecasts a global installed base of 153 million users in 2004.
Kent Thexton, chief marketing and data officer of mmO2, said: "We are leveraging the knowledge and broad international member base of AOL instant messaging services to provide mobile connectivity to users. The O2 service is easy to use, offers value for money, and enables customers to 'instant message' wherever they are. We think this new way to communicate is very compelling and expect it to further drive usage of mobile data services."
Bill Schwebel, vice president and general manager of AOL Mobile, commented "We are pleased to provide O2 customers with the ability to communicate with ICQ and AIM communities direct from their mobile handsets. For millions of consumers around the world, instant messaging is a vital tool for staying connected - with the ICQ and AIM services now available from O2, customers can stay in constant contact while they're on the go."
Availability to O2 customers
ICQ is available from today for the following devices: Siemens M50, C55, S55 and Nokia 3650 and 7650. Customers can download Java or Symbian software from wap.O2online.de. AIM will be available from Autumn 2003. Services are available to both pre and post pay customers.
ICQ and AIM available from Autumn 2003. Devices for the UK market will be announced nearer launch. Services will be available to both pre and post pay customers.
In Germany, the service will be charged by volume, initially based on standard GPRS rates. For instance, at launch the service will cost: daily charge (0.09 Euro per day) + cost of sending IM (0.05 Euro/10Kbyte)
Cheers ~ Arne

Packers vs. Cowboys: Full Roster Report Card Grades for Green BayDecember 16, 2013
Packers vs. Cowboys: Full Roster Report Card Grades for Green Bay
Somehow the Green Bay Packers escaped with a 37-36 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. It was, without a doubt, the most exciting win the Packers have had all season.
It took a strong second half for the second week in a row for the Packers to continue their winning streak. This week it was five touchdowns over the course of the final two quarters that propelled Green Bay to a victory.
The fight from this team in the second half definitely improved all of the grades for the report card this week. Here's a look at full grades for each position unit following Sunday's win.
*All statistics courtesy of NFL.com.
Key Player: Matt Flynn
Well, it might be safe to say that Flynn earned himself another contract at the end of this season with his performance on Sunday.
While the first half wasn't too inspiring, what Flynn did in the second half was simply unbelievable. He led the Green Bay Packers to 34 points on five scoring drives. He finished the game with 299 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.
Flynn's poise and control of the offense during the third and fourth quarter was really something quite special. His play literally kept the Packers' playoff hopes alive.
This might be the last time that Flynn sees the field this season, which makes this performance all the more special. There is no doubt that he earned the high grade he received this week.
Final Grade: A+
Running Backs
Key Players: Eddie Lacy, James Starks
The narrative surrounding Lacy hasn't changed all year. He remains a huge part of the offense and is carrying this team without quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the field.
Lacy finished the day with 141 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also added four receptions which totaled 30 yards.
As for Starks, he didn't get many touches, but he made them count when he did. His lone reception went 11 yards and for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
This unit played just as good a game as any unit on the Packers this week.
Final Grade: A+
Wide Receivers
Key Players: Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Jarrett Boykin
This is the type of production that we've been waiting to see from the receivers of the Green Bay Packers. They were finally making big plays and exploiting the Dallas Cowboys defense.
Boykin led all Packers receivers with a team-high six receptions and 83 yards. Nelson and Jones combined for eight receptions, 110 yards and two touchdowns.
What was most impressive from this unit was the number of difficult receptions that they made. Nelson's touchdown reception was literally picked off the head of his defender and both Jones and Boykin made tough receptions look easy.
It's always been true that the Packers have had one of the most talented receiving corps in the league, and they finally played that way on Sunday.
Final Grade: A
Tight End
Key Player: Andrew Quarless
With Brandon Bostick out and Ryan Taylor not seeing much playing time, Quarless was the only tight end to be a factor in this week's game. The good news is that he was a huge factor.
Quarless finished the game with six receptions, 66 yards and a touchdown. What's incredible about those numbers is that they are the same exact statistics he finished last week's game with.
No one really expected a tight end to make a big impact without Jermichael Finley on the field. While it took some time, Quarless is proving to be a dangerous weapon. He's also making the Green Bay Packers offense an even scarier unit.
Final Grade: A
Offensive Line
Key Players: David Bakhtiari, Josh Sitton, Evan Dietrich-Smith, T.J. Lang, Don Barclay
It wasn't the worst of weeks for the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers this week. In fact, the second half against the Dallas Cowboys was about as impressive a half that we've seen from this unit.
The problem is that the first two quarters weren't that great. That's when the Dallas Cowboys got both of their sacks and the struggles of the offensive line were a big reason why the Packers offense couldn't get things going.
If this group can ever figure out how to play an entire game like they played the second half in Dallas, it could be scary for the rest of the NFL.
Final Grade: B+
Defensive Line
Key Players: B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett, Mike Daniels, Datone Jones, Josh Boyd
The problem with grading the defense this week is the same problem we had last week with grading the following units. Every single unit played extremely poorly in the first half, but stepped their game up in a major way to finish out the game.
The defensive line had the worst game of all the units. They failed to get much pressure on quarterback Tony Romo and were continuously pushed back when the Dallas Cowboys ran the ball.
In fact, had the Cowboys been committed to the run late in the game, it's likely that the Green Bay Packers wouldn't have won this game. The bright spot this week was from the youngsters Daniels, Jones and Boyd. They combined for seven tackles and one-and-a-half sacks.
There is definitely room for improvement following Sunday's game, but this group has a strong second half to build upon moving forward.
Final Grade: C+
Key Players: A.J. Hawk, Clay Matthews, Brad Jones, Mike Neal
The linebackers played a solid game on Sunday, but it was far from dominant. And much like the defensive line, most of the damage was done in the second half.
Jones led the way with six total tackles while Matthews and Neal combined for one-and-a-half sacks. Where this team was most impressive in the second half was in pass coverage. They did a good job of keeping tight end Jason Witten from running wild and protected the middle of the field extremely well.
This group still needs to create more pressures over the course of a game. However, if they can continue to play as well as they did in the third and fourth quarter of this game, the Green Bay Packers defense should be able to play solid football.
Final Grade: B
Key Players: Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, Micah Hyde, Jarrett Bush
It's a shame that the cornerbacks got beat so often in the first half because they were spectacular to end the game.
Shields' interception gave the Green Bay Packers the ball late in the game and ultimately caused the game-winning touchdown from running back Eddie Lacy. After that offensive drive, Williams made his best play of the year with a fingertip interception to basically end the game for the Dallas Cowboys.
Those two plays alone were enough to propel this unit into a solid grade for Sunday's game.
Final Grade: B+
Key Players: Morgan Burnett, M.D. Jennings, Sean Richardson
The good news for the safeties this week is that they played much better than they have in recent weeks. It still isn't great football, but it appears as if they're improving.
What's interesting is that the Green Bay Packers are so much better when Richardson is on the field instead of Jennings. For whatever reason though, the Packers seem content with only giving Richardson a handful of snaps.
With Richardson and Burnett, the Packers could really have something special at the safety position. However, until they commit to playing those two for the majority of the game it's likely that this unit will continue to have its struggles.
Sunday's game was the best the safeties have played in a long time. That's great news for this defense moving forward into the final weeks of the season.
Final Grade: B
Special Teams
Key Players: Mason Crosby, Tim Masthay, Micah Hyde
For the first time in a long time the Green Bay Packers actually got a decent performance from the coverage team on special teams. That's a big reason why the unit gets a solid grade this week.
While the Dallas Cowboys only returned a total of three punts and kickoffs in the game, the Packers still did a good job at not allowing any big plays. Outside of the coverage team, the rest of this unit had a great game.
Crosby hit a 57-year field goal in the first half with ease. Even Hyde was able to get a big punt return in the second half that gave the Packers offense a short field to work with.
Overall, it was one of the better performances by the special teams of Green Bay this year.
Final Grade: A-

Nobody invented the ball, but the English invented football and the Brazilians beautiful football. In Brazil, there are reputedly 37 words for bola, ball. Having so many words for one and the same thing is usually a good sign. A sign of love – which invariably produces more words than are necessary. Except that the coinage "Bundesliga" doesn't exactly sound like a declaration of love. Not even like a glamorous brand-name article in the same category as "Premier League" or "Serie A". Bundesliga – that sounds more like the result of an official decree issued by Germany's highest national football authority. But 50 years after this name made its belated debut in the world of football – all of Germany's European neighbours having long had their own national leagues – the Bundesliga has become something its name initially failed to evoke at all: a premier brand of top-class entertainment, known throughout the world – and a projection of collective passion, acted out every match day by more than 400,000 people in Germany's football stadiums.
The Bundesliga has never been as cool and young as in its 50th year. But that hasn't meant pandering to a youthful audience. It has created its own aura of youthfulness, by its internationally admired promotion of young talent, which has produced up-and-coming stars like Götze and Reus, Müller and Draxler. And by employing a youthful, dynamic style of play which, developed by Borussia Dortmund and refined by Bayern Munich, has taken Europe by storm just in time for its 50th anniversary – with a Bundesliga members-only outing to the world's most famous stadium for the all-German Champions League final. Wembley as the venue for a German football fest – that drew some ironic comments from the English with their proverbial sense of humour. The good thing about it, wrote one newspaper when Bayern and Borussia celebrated their victories in the semi-finals, is "that a German team will lose at Wembley for the first time in 47 years" – for the first time since the 1966 World Cup final.
In fact, England – whose Premier League was long considered the non plus ultra – long ago realized that the Bundesliga was worth emulating. The English supporters were the first to come, taking budget flights to Germany in search of a genuine – and affordable – football experience, for instance at matches played by second division club FC St. Pauli or in Dortmund. They were followed by English sports reporters who wrote about what makes the Bundesliga so exciting: low ticket prices, safe stadiums and a good atmosphere; the terraces and the beer stalls; the large proportion of young and female spectators that, since the 2006 World Cup, have increasingly made the crowds attending football matches a representative cross-section of German society as a whole; and, not least, club ownership structures, which mostly stipulate that the clubs themselves are the owners – in other words their members and supporters.
That's why the Bundesliga – even in its anniversary year 2013, at the peak of its sporting and financial success – has not degenerated into commercialism, remaining instead a popular source of entertainment and boasting many clubs that generate interest beyond their own particular region. These include unmistakeable clubs like Schalke 04, the pacesetter in Germany's most passionate football region, the Ruhr District. Like Werder Bremen, a club that stands for continuity and exudes the leisurely charm of a region where going to a match may involve taking a ferry. Like Borussia Mönchengladbach, a club synonymous with a fresh style of football. Or SC Freiburg with its limited financial resources but skill at promoting young talent – and its concept of sustainability that involves countering other clubs' efforts to woo away its talented young players by steadfastly pursuing strategies to develop its own fresh talent.
And, like trusses supporting the Liga, there are those regional giants that have seen better days, like Hamburger SV or VfB Stuttgart. Or the long-established clubs that at some point ended up alternating between the Bundesliga's first and second divisions without losing their profile or popularity, such as Eintracht Frankfurt, 1. FC Köln and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. All of these clubs are older than the Liga itself. But today they, too, can only really retain their importance if they are – and remain – members of the league that was founded in 1963 as one of last European national leagues and, in 2013, now leads the field across Europe. ▪

Here's the latest on the never ending gossip about Apple and Verizon. The two companies are close to a deal, but they're going over the fine print.
Kaufman Bros. analyst Shawn Wu (via Philip Elmer-DeWitt at Fortune) says Apple's negotiations with Verizon, "are not finalized with important details still being ironed out, including technology and economics."
Wu speculates that Apple could also be partnering with Sprint and T-Mobile to offer the iPhone on all major U.S. carriers. As a result of losing exclusivity, Apple is expected to receive less money per handset.
Verizon is in a strong bargaining position with Apple right now -- Apple needs Verizon much more than Verizon needs Apple. Google Android is on fire right now thanks to Verizon, taking share from Apple. So if Apple doesn't want the smartphone war to play out like the PC war in the 1980s, had it better hammer out a deal.

Iran has already achieved a major coup in negotiations with the P5+1 (the U.S., France, Britain, Germany, Russia, and China) by winning the fact of, if not the right to, nuclear enrichment. Now it is out to eliminate all of the sanctions it has suffered for carrying out its secret nuclear program in the first place. That was made clear Friday when Iranian diplomats abruptly walked out of "technical" discussions between the parties.
There was no legitimate basis for the walkout. The excuse was that the U.S. announced that it would continue to enforce existing sanctions, regardless of the six-month deal that rolls back some sanctions starting on Jan. 15. That may reinforce the arguments of Obama administration officials who argue that adding new sanctions, as some in Congress want to do, will only prompt the entire diplomatic process with Iran to collapse.
Yet these were not new sanctions. Iran wants to send a clear message that the existing sanctions themselves are a problem–even those not covered by the deal–and that it wants those to be entirely eliminated. That is certainly an expectation that Iranian leaders have laid out for the final deal, and they are emphasizing it by walking out of talks. They also know that the Obama administration would agree to even more lopsided terms.
The Iranian walkout fulfills the warning made by former Bush administration official Douglas Feith last month, who noted that democracies keep international agreements but dictatorships often violate them. The Iranian regime knows that the Obama administration will do everything it can to avoid conflict, and therefore will do everything it can to save a deal, even a bad one. Hence it is altering the deal, in actions if not in words.

Florida has many public lands and large ranches and private timberlands that help sustain our fish and wildlife resources. But most are separated from each other by the smaller parcels of privately owned land that cover the majority of the state. On much of this land, it is difficult for animals to find mates or adequate food and water. They need us, the millions of private landowners, to lend a hand.
We can start by transforming our simple landscapes into wildlife habitats – places where animals can find the food, water and shelter they need to survive. Then, property by property, community by community we can create corridors of wildlife habitat that connect with protected natural areas.

Quick Reference
Economists' jargon for an apparent free benefit that is actually no such thing. It derives from a 19th-century tavern that advertised free food, it being clearly understood that anyone attempting to exploit this offer without buying a drink would be thrown out. The phrase is now used to reflect the economist's belief that wherever there appears to be a free benefit, someone, somewhere, always pays for it.

So when I saw on pintrest that someone had made a guitar pedal board out of IKEA Gorm shelves, I highly encouraged Graeme to make one too. And not only did it turn out looking really awesome, it did an excellent job at keeping those guitar pedals in check. However, this first pedal board was left in Glasgow when Graeme moved over to Norway, so obviously he had to make another one, and this is the improved version. While the first one worked great, this one looks even neater as it has a plank at each end hiding the cords pretty much completely. This is how he did it:
Step 1: Gather your supplies. You will need a saw, hammer, screwdriver and screws, velcro tape, floor protectors, and of a set of GORM shelves from IKEA. This set should come with two shelves, and you'll be using one and parts of the other. If you're planning on painting or staining the pedal board, you'll also need paint and a paintbrush (duh). Graeme used a nice black stain.
Step 2: Take apart one of the shelves. You'll be using two of the top planks: one as is and the other cut in two. So for the second plank, draw a line down the middle and saw so that you have two thinner planks (see image below).
Step 3: Saw away part of the end bits as below. Graeme just used a regular saw to do this, but it was a little fiddly. This step is technically optional, but it means your end planks will fit in neatly and won't stick out (as much), and you'll end up with a neater finish.
Step 4: Screw the full plank to the back of the board, and the half plank to the front. If you cut away part of the end bits in step 3, these should slide in quite nicely.
Step 5: Paint or stain. Leave to dry before going to the next step.
Step 6: Attach the velcro tape to the board pedals, and remove the rubber feet from the pedals if they have any. If you're keeping it on floors you don't want to mark, it's a good idea to also add floor protectors. Your guitar pedals will fit neatly on top of the board, while the cords and wires will be hidden inside. Now grab your guitar and start making some noise!

- Description
DetailsA harmless trick on your light-lager-loving friends. All the drinkability and refreshing crispness of a summer brew with the fruity, fresh flavor of the fall hop harvest. Soft malt character supports a substantial ABV that resonates in strategic bursts of berry, melon, floral and sweet cantaloupe flavor of Ekuanot and Calypso hops. Nearly champagne-like in its effervescence, Sabotage meddles in the affairs of a classic farmhouse ale, pulling off a suspiciously crowd-pleasing saison-pale-ale hybrid.

The Valencia Card costs £8.40 for 24 hours and offers unlimited use of public transport plus discounts at museums, sights, shops and restaurants (www.valenciatouristcard.com).
Las Fallas (March 15-19) is possibly Spain's noisiest festival, when fireworks accompany the ceremonial burning of papier-mâché models of famous figures.
The best paella restaurants are around the Albufera lake, six miles south of the city, where the all-important rice is grown.
The best hotels
Antigua Morellana £
There may not be many frills here, but the central location near the city's lovely market (see main text, left), friendly staff and pleasant rooms make this a great budget choice – try asking for a room at the front with a balcony (En Bou 2; 0034 963 915773; www.hostalam.com; doubles from €55/£46; no breakfast). Read our full review of Antigua Morellana hotel.

Bodega Casa Montaña ££
A popular bar in the Cabanyal quarter near the beach and a pioneer of the gourmet tapas trend; a place where traditional recipes are prepared using locally sourced artisan ingredients. It also offers an amazing selection of wines. £17-£25 (José Benlliure 69; 963 672314; www.emilianobodega.com).
Arrop £££
Ricard Camarena, one of Spain's top chefs, deservedly won a Michelin star in 2010 at this new restaurant in Valencia's old town. It offers fabulous creative cuisine based on classic Valencian dishes. Dinner will cost around £75, but the set lunch for £25 on weekdays is a bargain (Almirante 14; 963 925566; www.arrop.com).
What to avoid
Eating paella in the evening: locals always have it for lunch, allowing time to digest it.
Getting robbed: never leave your bag on the floor or on the back of your chair.
Wearing silly shoes: you are likely to walk several miles while sightseeing.
Going out too early: lots of bars don't get going until after 11pm, but close at 2am.
Visiting museums on Monday morning: many are closed.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
When GNOME began in 1997, the project had a clear purpose. At the time, there was no other free desktop, since KDE relied on the then-proprietary Qt toolkit. But today, looking at the mounting evidence of problems within the project and the denial of many project members, I have to ask: Does free software still need GNOME? Or has it outlived its usefulness?
The fact that such questions seem reasonable today is a bizarre reversal. Years ago, KDE became unquestionably free software. Yet the rivalry between GNOME and KDE, sometimes friendly, sometimes fiery, has long driven the development of the desktop to the benefit of all. The need for cross-compatibility, to say nothing of the hopes of equaling or surpassing each other, improved both desktop environments.
But now? Desktop-oriented users can choose not only from GNOME and KDE, but also Unity, Xfce, Mate, Cinnamon, LXDE and half a dozen others, all offering a convenient, customizable interface. With so many choices, at first you might imagine that the decline of any one alternative doesn't matter much, no matter how distinguished its history.
However, in GNOME's case, such a conclusion would be superficial. While a permanent decline in the relevance of GNOME would not be fatal to the larger free software community, it would be crippling in several ways -- a loss of developers, applications, and resources from which the community could take several years to recover.
One reason to be concerned about GNOME's future is that for years it has been a major free software project. Over the years, it has attracted a community of active developers -- perhaps 40, if you accept Benjamin Otte's estimate, which probably means another 80-120 semi-regular contributors. If GNOME continues to decline, many of those developers could be lost to free software.
According to the GNOME Census carried out by Neary Consulting, about one third of GNOME developers are employed by corporations to work on GNOME.
In the short run, most of these developers will probably continue to work on GNOME. Some, however, might switch jobs if GNOME no longer seems relevant. Others might find that their corporate sponsors withdrawing or lessening support, and lack replacement sponsors.
For instance, if, as Otte suggests, core GNOME development is being funded largely by Red Hat, what happens if Red Hat decides GNOME is no longer worth attention? In such a case, formerly funded developers might continue to contribute as volunteers, but become less active because of the need to balance GNOME involvement with earning a living.
Similarly, the two-thirds of GNOME developers who volunteer might also drift away. While many developers write code for more than one application, the GNOME Census suggests that most of those applications are within the GNOME project -- presumably where they are most comfortable. Some would probably drop out rather than find a new community. Others, given the traditional rivalries, might not care to contribute to KDE or any other desktop environment.
I know of no study that records how contributors act when a free software project ceases to exist. However, a continued decline in GNOME's fortunes might easily mean a loss of dozens of experienced developers to both GNOME in particular and free software in general. In fact, that loss may already be happening, if you believe Otte.
One of the main advantages of a desktop is that it allows applications to share resources. For instance, instead of including its own printer driver, an application can call on the desktop's printing sub-system.
But when the supporting desktop is no longer developed, its dependent applications are orphaned. For a while, the applications can continue to function using old libraries and resources. Perhaps new functionality and dependencies are added to packages, increasing their size. But sooner or later, unless a great deal of rewriting occurs, the applications became obsolete.
Yes, the code is still available, since it is free-licensed. Yet if the eco-system that supports the code no longer exists, it must be re-created, forcing developers to look backward rather than ahead.
Ironically, we have already seen a parallel situation in GNOME 3's dropping of most panel applets -- a perfectly good tradition that many users relied on for everyday activity. In response, Linux Mint restored applets in Mate's and Cinnamon's re-creations of GNOME 2, satisfying users at the expense of slowing innovation.
Although these developments may have been necessary, it's sobering to think that the most noteworthy developments this year on the free desktop have been revivals of a desktop first released a decade ago. Imagine a similar situation on a larger scale, and you have some idea of what the continued decline of GNOME might mean.
The consequences would be particularly severe because GNOME is not only one of the two largest eco-systems of applications in free software, but also one of the most distinctively designed.
Applications like Brasero, Evolution, Rhythmbox, and Shotwell all share a common philosophy embodied in GNOME's Human Interface Guidelines. This philosophy can be summarized as interfaces designed for the most common use-cases, and the elimination of anything else.
Although this design is not for everyone (I don't care for it myself), many prefer it, and probably beginners find it easy to navigate. If nothing else, GNOME's minimalism is the logical counterpoint to KDE's "completist" approach, which, while favored by experienced users, can often be overwhelming and full of irrelevances for others. Having the two extremes as an example can only be a benefit in a community that still doesn't think about usability as often as it should.
When first Ubuntu, then Linux Mint, overtook Debian in popularity, the distribution's role began to change. Instead of being the desktop of everybody's choice, it became a resource center for other distributions. In some ways, Debian became less obvious, but, if anything, its influence increased, with the result that seventy-seven percent of all active distributions are based directly or indirectly upon it.

2018 Summer Membership Newsletter
In this edition you'll read about our fight against trophy hunting, both in the United States (for species like grizzly bears) and abroad (defending animals like giraffes and African elephants). Also in this issue: monarch butterflies and the perilous pesticide dicamba; safeguarding U.S. coasts from Trump's planned offshore-drilling expansion, shining a light on anti-solar policies, and much more.
Check out the newsletter for yourself.
A Wall in the Wild: The Disastrous Impacts of Trump's Border Wall on Wildlife
Trump's border wall will be a deathblow to already endangered animals on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. This study examines the impacts of construction of that wall on threatened and endangered species that live along the border, from jaguars to ocelots to tiny, rare owls found nowhere else.
A Wild Success
This in-depth report — the first of its kind — examines the population trends of all 120 bird species that have ever been protected under the Endangered Species Act, finding that this crucial law has been extraordinarily successful in recovering imperiled birds. Read the report now.
Throwing Shade
A renewable energy future depends largely on distributed solar energy, whose U.S. expansion relies largely on state policies — yet many states' pol;icies donmt make the grade. For this report, we highlight and "grade" 10 states that are blocking distributed solar potential through overtly lacking and destructive distributed solar policy. You can also check out our webpage on the report.
Lethal Loophole
The protections of the Endangered Species Act — one of the world's most effective laws for protecting biodiversity — are being fought by powerful specialinterests, such as big agriculture, the oil and gas industry, developers and ranchers. In response to political pressure from these interests, the feds have used an obscure provision of the Act to subvert the law's intent and green-light many of the very activities putting species at risk. Learn the dangerous details.
Ending new federal fossil fuel leasing would be the most significant climate action undertaken by any U.S. president — and Barack Obama has the power to do it. By stopping new fossil fuel leasing and ensuing industrialization, he can also conserve the irreplaceable values of America's public lands and oceans. Read about the benefits of keeping fossil fuels in the ground.
Politics of Extinction
Despite its success, the Endangered Species Act is under attack like never before. Congressional Republicans have launched a barrage of legislative assaults on endangered species in recent years, seeking to block, remove or weaken their protections. Learn more in our report.
Costs and Consequences: The Real Price of Livestock Grazing on America?s Public Lands
This analysis finds that U.S. taxpayers have lost more than $1 billion over the past decade on a program that allows cows and sheep to graze on public land. Last year alone taxpayers lost $125 million in grazing subsidies on federal land. Read the report to find out more.
Making Room for Wolf Recovery: The Case for Maintaining Endangered Species Act Protections for America's Wolves
This first-of-its-kind analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity identifies 359,000 square miles of additional habitat for gray wolves in 19 of the lower 48 states that could significantly boost the nation's 40-year wolf recovery efforts.
Troubled Waters: Offshore Fracking's Threat to California's Ocean, Air and Seismic Stability
This report released by Center scientists outlines the serious dangers posed by toxic chemicals, air pollution and increased earthquake risk linked to offshore fracking near Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
Collision Course: The Government's Failing System for Protecting Manatees From Deadly Boat Strikes
Collisions with watercraft are a persistent and often deadly threat to endangered Florida manatees — yet our report shows that neither the Army Corps of Engineers nor the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have truly protected them while authorizing thousands of risky projects.

Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2 Gets Detailed
So last night we told you that the first post release update for Madden 13 would drop today and it has. The only downside from that update last night was that we really didn't have any details on what the update actually fixed. Luckily, with the update dropping today, EA Sports has revealed the details as to exactly what the update does and doesn't fix.
Full list of fixes/additions in Madden NFL 13 Title Update #2:
- Added an Instant Start option to Connected Careers as a player
- Numerous commentary improvements to address when lines trigger and what they say.
- Added a trade notification in CCM for the NFL Draft
- Fixed social media sharing post-game to address spacing issues
- Improved the GameFace feature
- Fixed Challenge Audio to make the appropriate call
- Improved Physics Get-up post play
- Adjusted created players in Connected Careers so that they always have high progression grades despite their backstory choices
- Fixed defensive assignment issues against the CPU AI when users were in Man Coverage
- Increased the chances to trade for a CPU team's starter
- Adjusted the scouting development trait in CCM to display as (Slow, Medium, Fast, or Superstar) instead of 0-3.
- Added the ability to post results from H2H MUT games on Facebook/Twitter.
- Numerous stability issues around the game in general were also included in the update to improve the overall experience and Connected Careers specifically.
So there you have it folks, did everything you want to get fixed make it in? Personally, the "Fixed defensive assignment issues against the CPU AI when users were in Man Coverage" and the "Increased the chances to trade for a CPU team's starter" are probably the two biggest changes in the update to me.
Maybe now with the "Increased the chances to trade for a CPU team's starter" you might actually be able to get the Redskins to give up RG3…maybe. Keep in mind that the majority of these fixes were in planning before the game dropped so a lot of things based on post release feedback probably won't be available until the third title update which currently doesn't have an ETA. Hit up the comments and let us know your thoughts on the latest patch and definitely hit up our Facebook page to keep up with all the latest news from the site.

Some of you may be startled to learn that Microsoft invited me to talk to interested employees about "The Perfect Thing"–after all the iPod is a competitor that they just haven't been able to handle–but I wasn't surprised at all. Microsoft did not get where it was by sticking its head in the sand: the place is packed with super-smart empiricists who know the benefit of listening to all points of view, even those offered by those who write books that physically resemble the products they hope to vanquish. So I found myself addressing a nice sized post-lunchtime audience in Redmond last Thursday.
The talk I gave had elements of my usual presentation, with a little more detail on what Apple had in mind during the development process, something I thought this pro crowd might appreciate. When I talked about my bouts with the randomness issue, I saw some knowing nods from people whose mathematical skills probably dwarfed mine when they were in third grade. And I told my listeners, mostly from Microsoft Research, which was the specific host of these author talks, that I would refrain from my usual survey of the crowd–"How many of you have iPods?"–just in case someone was taking pictures. They got the joke.
The questions were, also as I expected, very good. We touched on how much Apple's design was responsible for the iPod's success, whether the iPhone might catch on, and–as you might expect–what kind of product could possibly take the iPod down.
For me, though, the highlight was actually a Zune moment. At one point I held up my brown Zune. As I took questions I discreetly fiddled with the device to see if any other Zunes were around, and causally mentioned that I didn't detect any other Z's in the room. Within a couple of seconds I glanced down and saw that someone wanted to send me a song. Of course I pressed the "yes" option, and the next time I looked down at the screen I found that someone had sent me a tune–an electronica kind of dance track. Listed as "Discotronic" by Adam Kroll (though someone like Danny Howells seems to have done this actual music; even a web search didn't resolve this mystery). It's nicely hypnotic, and I listened to it twice. Now it's Sunday–past the three day expiration date–and I missed my opportunity to hear it one more time.

Best Rechargeable Batteries for Digital Cameras
Let us start off with the rechargeable batteries and then move on to the disposable ones.
Sanyo eneloop Rechargeable Batteries for Digital Cameras
The Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries are AA size batteries built on a hybrid technology. They come pre-charged, allowing you to use them right after making the purchase.
Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries combine the goodness of NiMH batteries as well as the standard pre-charged disposable batteries, and also retain charge for a long time, when kept unused.
It has been tested that these batteries can retain about 90% charge even after being kept unused for 5-6 months. What's more, they're equally cost effective too; you can charge them up to 1,000 times, without noticing a drop in performance. They're currently the pick of the lot, costing about $10 per four-pack.
However, if you're planning for a longer trip, it may be worth considering other options like Energizer e2 Lithium batteries that have higher capacities and cost efficiency.
So, in a nutshell, the Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries are a great choice as they're highly versatile and cost-effective; they self-discharge very slowly, and come pre-charged. But, on the downside, they have lower capacity than others, aren't too convenient to charge during long trips, and hence they aren't the best bet for extensive usage.
Note: The Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries for digital cameras work best when used with a Sanyo charger, and stored at cool temperatures. Read How to Take Care of Rechargeable Camera Batteries for more tips.
Amazon is currently selling SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries for $12.09
- slide 2 of 4
Best Disposable Batteries for Digital Cameras
Moving on to the disposable batteries, let us consider the available options on the basis of performance, durability, as well as performance.
Duracell CopperTop Alkaline Disposable Batteries
Most of the alkaline batteries aren't counted amongst the best batteries for digital cameras, but the Duracell CopperTop batteries are amongst the rare exceptions in this category.
These are extremely economic amongst the disposable batteries, and they're good for usage in digital camera, provided you don't click 100 times in a day.
However, if you consider their real usage, these are ideal for usage in low-drain electronics circuitries such as smoke detectors. But, for the extensive camera users, these might not turn out to be a viable option, due to inferior storage capacity, and poor cost-efficiency in the longer run.
When compared with the pre-charged Sanyo eneloop, they don't stand a chance; on the other hand, they don't last as long as the lithium disposable batteries. More so, they pose the risk of running out of power just when you need to capture an unforgettable moment in your camera.
But, on the brighter side, these are one of the easiest batteries that you can find, be it in a small store or a big supermarket, and the initial cost of purchasing is also very low. And, they're available in AA, C, 9-volt, AAA, and D sizes; so you don't have to worry if you're in need of a size other than the standard AA or AAA size.
The Duracell CopperTop batteries cost about $1.41 per battery at Amazon, and turn out to be the best batteries for digital camera during longer adventurous trips wherein you can't recharge the battery. Furthermore, they're considered to be one of the most economic yet durable disposable alkaline batteries available in the market; so if you need a cheap battery for your digital camera, Duracell is the way to go!
- slide 3 of 4
Energizer e2 Lithium Disposable Batteries for Digital Cameras
When you don't want a rechargeable battery, but need a long lasting one for your digital camera, the Energizer e2 lithium disposable batteries are simply unbeatable.
When you're on the move, you can't think of considering the cost-effectiveness of the rechargeable batteries. Having said that, you won't mind shelling out an extra $5 on buying a superior disposable battery for your digital camera, right? Well, if this happens to be the case, then you simply can't find a superior option to the Energizer e2 lithium disposable batteries that come with a long runtime in digital cameras and 10-year shelf life.
They have excellent flash power and recovery time, making them ideal for taking flash shots and fast camera shooting. Most of the critics recommend the rechargeable batteries for digital cameras on account of their cost-effectiveness, but it is worth noting that the 'cost per photo' clicked with the e2 lithium disposable batteries is less than the 'cost per photo' clicked with top notch rechargeable batteries like the Sanyo eneloop.
These lithium batteries are light, available in AA & AAA sizes, but come with a higher price tag than most of the other disposable batteries. Far worse, they don't give any warning before running out of charge, in most cases. But, at the same time, they work well at low temperatures; so they can be a great asset in snowy areas.
Coming to the pricing part, the average market price of Energizer e2 lithium disposable batteries is about $12 per four-pack.
- slide 4 of 4
The Bottom Line
Your decision will heavily depend upon the intended usage as well as several other factors. Therefore, it is not possible to nominate anyone in particular to be the best batteries for digital camera. But, it is important to note that different batteries are based on latest technologies such as the hybrid technology, while some are the conventional alkaline cells that have been in existence for years together. In this article, we've considered the performance of these batteries, but you must not forget that pricing always plays a decisive role too.

"Frank McKinney is the King of readymadedream homes" ~ USA Today
Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
Frank McKinney and the Pittsburgh REIA raised a significant amount of money to build homes for the homeless in Haiti in Pittsburgh on June 29th. Frank's next fund raising event will be in Indianapolis on the 26th of July; tickets on sale now.
Frank McKinney is a master real estate artist, who has used his talents to do ultra-high end house flips. He has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show twice along with a cornucopia of national news outlets. What makes Frank so interesting is that he uses his wealth and fame to help some of the poorest people on the planet. Frank's Caring House charity raises money to build houses for Haitian families who live in absolute squalor.
There are a lot of so called guru's who offer to teach people how to get rich quickly in real estate. This is not that sort of seminar. Frank McKinney is the real deal and he tells it like it is. There is no hype; just the facts as they happened. According to one previous seminar attendee: "What took my appreciation of Frank to the next level was when I discovered his involvement in the poorest country in the world, Haiti, through his Caring House Project (http://www.CHPF.org). Over the last 11 years Frank has built 21 self-sufficient villages housing over 10,000 desperately poor and homeless in this beautiful but devastated country. So of course, I wanted to know how in the world he was able to accomplish such huge success…real success…both professionally and spiritually."
Frank is coming to Indianapolis Indiana to do a full day teaching seminar. Frank will be teaching real estate investors, real estate agents, and anyone who wants to get into real estate, the methodology that has made Frank extremely successful. This seminar is for anyone who wants to learn how to make big money in real estate. This seminar is more of an anti-seminar. Unlike every other real estate seminar on the planet, there is nothing to buy at this event. Frank has nothing to sell. The entire event is designed to raise money for the poor. Don't think of this event as a seminar, think of this event as way to make a difference in the lives of poverty stricken people. Attendees will also be learning how to improve their own financial situation by following the path the Frank McKinney has already blazed. There is not penalty for copying in real estate, and there is no bonus for doing things the hard way. Learn how a very successful real estate entrepreneur made his money. Plan to attend Frank McKinney's one day anti-seminar and help a great charity at the same time.
To be a part of this event, and to learn how Frank McKinney makes money in real estate, register before all of the seats are taken.
To RSVP and register use the discount code MIBE25 and receive a 25% discount at http://MakeItBIGEvent.com. Every broker, agent, and investor who attends will also receive a 113-page event manual. This manual will serve as a complete record of everything that Frank will be teaching.
For more information, Phone: 561.662.4503 • Mail: Caring House Project, P.O. Box 388, Boynton Beach, FL 33425.

Prof. Adam Sobel has been awarded an AXA Award in Climate and Extreme Weather from the AXA Research Fund. The award is €250,000 for a two-year research project. Prof. Sobel and several colleagues, at the Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Lamont), will use the award to study the local dynamics and global patterns of extreme precipitation and other extreme weather events.
Prof. Sobel and colleagues at SEAS, Lamont, and other schools and units of Columbia are currently working to establish a new research initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate. This initiative will take advantage of the broad expertise that already exists across the University in both the science of extreme weather events – such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, and heat waves – and their relation to climate, as well as both the societal impacts of these events and possible engineering solutions. The AXA award will provide the first external support to this new emerging initiative.
Prof. Sobel is the first AXA awardee; the AXA Awards have just been created as a new instrument by the AXA Research Fund to spur and accelerate the pace of academic innovation. They are designed to support mid-career researchers with extremely high potential for innovation in their fields and are awarded by AXA's Scientific Board following recommendations made by independent Search Committees composed of eminent academics.

Building in South Africa: Project Reports
Project Reports
We had recently been awarded a Gold Star award from the mayor Patricia De Lille, City of Cape Town. This together with the site being declared a 'World Design Capital 2014' site has given us more opportunities to steer ahead with our proposed plans for a garden diversity/nutritional project and a sport project.
This year our achievements went from strength to strength. We raised the building of Phase 3 (multi-purpose building for skills, computer and literacy centre) to roof level, foundation walls to re-enforce our pavement and courtyards were constructed using many filled sandbags, cement and concrete to make the area look beautiful and attractive.
This year we seen a culmination of beautiful events: volunteers cooked food and distributed at our first Christmas bash sponsored by Projects Abroad; our volunteers served porridge on the first day that Pollsmoore Prison committed to start sponsoring porridge for the community children.
International students from Holland were sent by the government to research and assist in finding ways to introduce sustainable projects in townships in South Africa. They were very impressed by the eco-sandbag and eco-timber beam construction method of building.

The reason is that there are a variety of ways in which you can customize the appearance of your QuickBooks program. Some people might use a different color scheme, some might like to use the navigator bar at the side of the screen, and others prefer not to use this tool. You might prefer to see a separate QuickBooks window on your screen for each transaction that is in progress, whereas other users might want to fill the screen with a single window. Select the settings you prefer. If you use QuickBooks on a network, each user can have separate desktop settings. For that reason, you will see that there are only My Preferences available among the desktop view choices, and no Company Preferences from which to choose.

Sometimes it becomes a very complex classical score, and at other times the music develops a late 1959 midnight kind of cool beat.
Toronto, Ontario - Canada (PRWEB) January 16, 2014
Core Music Agency client Paul Intson will have his latest feature film score work arrive in theaters this Friday with the release of THE NUT JOB. An animated comedy-adventure suited for all families, THE NUT JOB features the voices of Will Arnett (star of the hit CBS TV series "The Millers", as well as "Arrested Development"), Brendan Fraser ("The Mummy" franchise), Liam Neeson ("Taken", "Batman Begins") and Katherine Heigl ("The Big Wedding", "Knocked Up"). Open Road Films will release the movie in the United States and Entertainment One in Canada on over 3,000 screens and in RealD 3D.
Directed and co-written by Peter Lepeniotis, who worked as an animator on such Disney animated films as "Toy Story 2", "Fantasia 2000" and "Dinosaur", THE NUT JOB follows the exploits of Surly (Arnett), a feisty squirrel who must leave his park homeland and find the means to survive in the big city. With winter fast approaching and his food supply running low, Surly stumbles on the one thing that may save his life and the rest of his animal friends when the snow finally comes – Maury's Nut Store.
Intson recorded the score for THE NUT JOB using the talents of two ensembles, a 62-piece orchestra and a Toronto-based 13-piece big band for select moments within the film. "The score has the tone of a 50's soundstage," said composer Intson, "but I feel it was also a culmination of my education thus far with the harmonica led orchestral lullabies, the jiving big band through to the furious chases and epic heroic motifs. There's lots of very emotionally interesting harmonic choices, sometimes it becomes a very complex classical score, and at other times the music develops a late 1959 midnight kind of cool beat."
"Paul was a great choice to work on this project," comments Ari Wise, President and Principal of Core Music Agency which represents the composer. "Director Peter Lepeniotis really encouraged Paul to follow his instincts and create something new and fresh that communicated the story sonically. It was a great collaboration between the two and I believe audiences will hear that when they watch the movie up on the big screen."
"It's enormously liberating when a director has spotted a sensibility and style in you he feels is his vision for his project," adds Intson. "Such was the case with Peter and me. Our sessions started out like a train of runaway ideas. We quickly recognized the potential strength in a particular path and explored it like adventurers. I always felt the sessions could go on longer; we always both walked away fired up. I was lucky."

Susan and Kelly of Decadent Details Events are absolutely fantastic! They made sure that we had everything that we wanted and needed for our wedding day. Anything we asked them to do no matter how complicated, they were more than willing to do it without a complaint. I can't imagine how our wedding would've happened as smoothly as it did without them. They provided excellent guidance for finding the fantastic wedding vendors that we worked with. They took care of getting us contracts, reminding us about payments and due dates, and making sure we were completely on track with everything. They are very genuine people and you can tell that it's more than a job for them, that they actually care about their clients. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is planning a wedding or any other type of event!
— Rebecca, Bride
Susan and Kelly provided great wedding planning advice and direction, and kept our special event on track. Their attention to detail made for a special day for Rebecca and Jurel. Thanks ladies for your effort!
— Mark, Father of the Bride
Susan and Kelly were such a blessing for us! They made sure everything looked like we wanted it to on our wedding day and helped us keep on budget. They also were a great resource for us to find all of our other fantastic vendors. They were also really easy to reach whenever we needed something whether it was to answer a question or just to let us vent about any stress we might have had during the planning process. Our wedding was perfect and relaxed and we know that was thanks to them. They are a great team and I would totally recommend them for your wedding!
— Evelyn, Bride
My husband and I had a perfect wedding day thanks to Decadent Details Events and the vendors they helped us select. Kelly and Susan were so calming throughout the stressful wedding planning process. They always went above and beyond to help us with all our needs. We used them for help up until our wedding day. We couldn't have pulled off the details of the day without them. It was a lifesaver to my Mom and I to not worry about running around taking care of the wedding day details!
— Kim & Alex Fulton, Bride & Groom
Susan was very professional and very helpful for our event. She took our ideas and brought them to life. She totally brought the event together!
— Leah, Bride
My family and my in-laws travel a bunch so we were in and out of town on top of planning our wedding in only two months! Kelly and Susan were extremely helpful, flexible, and kept everybody sane. We used their "month of" package and they helped us tie in all of our last little details. The day of, if there was anything that went wrong... I honestly didn't know about it! They kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. I don't know what we would have done without them!!
— Karlen, Bride
"Kelly and Susan were wonderful in helping Melissa and I coordinate our wedding. As a DYI and eco-friendly bride, Melissa had opted to take much of the preparations on herself, but Kelly and Susan were right there by our side reminding us of important details that we had overlooked and helping us coordinate them into our busy schedules. The most important aspect of these two was how they listened to what Melissa wanted and found ways to make her dream become a reality. There was never a moment in which we felt that the planning had been taken out of our control. As for the big day itself, coordinating the guests and wedding party between the ceremony and reception went without a hitch. For professionalism and respect towards their clients, I couldn't recommend a better pair of individuals to help plan your wedding. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to our friends Kelly and Susan and all the work they put into making our special day exactly that, special and memorable. "
— Brandon M., Groom
"It was awesome working with you guys on the Grand re-Opening. You two women are awesome! :) "
— Bryan K.
"Susan and Kelly! Thank you so much for helping make Melissa's day go so special. I will definitely be calling you if we ever need help planning an event. We have nothing but good things to say about you two to everyone! "
— Abby H., Bridesmaid
"I have been in the wedding and event business a long time! I have to say I usually get at least 2 -5 emails a week asking for advice on how to be an event planner! Although I respond to all of them it is rare that I find people like Kelly and Susan. These ladies not only understand business they have a passion for weddings! Their attention to detail and organization is impeccable not to mention their ever loving personalities! They want not only the bride to experience a day like no other but for the guests to have an amazing experience as well! I am truly blessed and honored to not only call these ladies colleagues but also friends! "

News 4's Larry Conners has more details on Officer Haman on his Facebook page.
(KMOV) -- Police tell News 4 they have caught the suspect who allegedly shot a St. Louis Police officer multiple times.
Arvon Brown was caught near the intersection of Delmar and Debaliviere Thursday night at about 7 p.m. The Circuit Attorney's Office issued warrants against the 24-year-old for first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and armed criminal action. Brown is being held without bond.
Brown was tasered by police after repeatedly resisting arrest. He was handcuffed and taken into custody. Later, Brown was taken to the hospital in a stretcher by request because was complaining of neck pain.
Only News 4 was there when Brown arrived at police headquarters after being released from the hospital.
Meanwhile, authorities said 26-year-old Officer Joseph Haman is out of surgery and listed in critical condition after being shot Thursday morning.
The shooting happened around 8:25 a.m. in the 3700 block of Grand near Natural Bridge at a Mobile gas station.
Authorities tell News 4 that Officer Haman stopped a vehicle at Natural Bridge and Grand. It is unclear why Officer Haman stopped the vehicle.
There were four people in the vehicle. Officer Haman was speaking with the driver outside of the vehicle when a person in the backseat began exchanging words with him. According to police, that person then fired several shots at the officer. Officer Haman returned fire, but did not hit anyone.
Officer Haman was hit six to eight times. He was alert and conscious when he was rushed to St. Louis University Hospital. St. Louis Police Chief Dan Isom said his bullet proof vest saved his life.
Police have all four people who were in the vehicle in custody.
Officer Haman has been on the St. Louis police force since October of 2008. He had previously served in Iraq as a United States Marine.
St. Louis Police Chief Dan Isom says authorities have surveillance video from the squad car's dashboard camera and the gas station also had surveillance video.

A. You need to remember that your husband has just as valid a claim on influencing the baby's name as you do—just as he needs to recognize that singling out one grandparent over three others (or your great aunt Clara on your father's side) for such an honor might be a little unfair, too. In other words, get ready for some tactical compromising.
If you really want to be the bigger person here, you could go ahead and give the baby Grandma's first name and make her middle name different—and the one you actually call her (e.g., Jezebel Patricia Jones, a.k.a. Patty). Or you could use your mother-in-law's name as your child's middle name. Nick, for instance, wasn't into naming the kids after other people, but I wanted to honor my mother. So we decided Lila's middle name could be Elisabeth, a formal version of my mom's name, Bettye. This way, Lila still has her own identity, plus a name that will always remind us—and her—of someone we loved. That's probably what your husband wants to do with your child. And that's not such a bad thing after all.

Object #1025818 from MS-Papers-0032-0327
7 pages written 1865-1865 by John Williams Harris in Poverty Bay to Sir Donald McLean in Napier City
From: Inward letters - John Williams Harris, Reference Number MS-Papers-0032-0327 (70 digitised items). 66 letters written from Hawke's Bay & Poverty Bay, 1851-1870. Includes undated note in Maori signed Matiu

Poverty Bay.
7th. August 1865.
Donald McLean Esq. Napier.
My dear Sir,
Yours of the 14th. inst. to hand. I am sorry I cannot give you a more favourable account of matters here. Our natives are fast drifting into Hau Hauism. As I before advised you. several Niu's have been erected since last I wrote; on which flags have been flying, and orgies celebrated day and night around them for some days past.
One good point is the profession of good which they all profess to feel towards the settlers.
I quite agree with you on the propriety of keeping quiet here, if possible. We have, in fact, every necessity for doing so. If the quarrel can be worked out at East Cape, so much the better for the rest of the Coast, and for this place in particular.
To show the feeling evinced, and action intended, as far as we can ascertain, I enclose a copy of some information I have received from various sources. Take it for what it is worth.
We have had two Runangas held by the Kawanatanga; both of which I am grieved to say were all but nullified, by the greater number of the Natives being sadly intoxicated. One would suppose our settlers, and particularly those who have large stakes in the district, would be the last to supply drink to an already maddened people; which, however, is not the case, with but two exceptions. I believe there is not a trader in Turanga who does not supply intoxicating drink, in some shape or other, and in unlimited quantities, to the natives. Can not some means be devised for stopping this? Almost every vessel, from either North or South, brings supplies of spirits, etc. The restrictive proclamations are perfectly useless, as at present worked; and just a simple collision between a couple of Hau Hau and Queen's natives, under the influence of drink, might set the whole place in a blaze.
I will get all the native signatures I can, to append to our separation Petition, in time for the "St. Kilda's return.
I had put Mrs. Harris and my two little ones on board Gem, en route for Auckland. They are now again at home, Southerly wind having set in; but will go when weather changes.
I send the signatures I have obtained. Others will be forwarded from Turanganui. I hope the simple form in which their wishes are expressed, will be sufficient to entitle them to be attached to our petition.
The remarks I have sent are copies from my Journal.
I am very glad you did not send the caps, etc., to me for distribution.
I have let the Kawanatanga have articles to the amount of some £10, on account of Government. (food, rope, etc. At the time, they were erecting flagstaffs. etc.
Very faithfully, (Signed)
J.W. Harris.
