Not out of the woods yet
Not out of the woods yet.
The vet was pretty pleased with the strength and movement in her right shoulder joint. In fact perhaps a little surprised in just what movement and strength she did have. He was pretty impressed at what we had achieved and said I had made a good job. The shot in her abdomen seems to have moved and looks to be breaking down. This does not worry him as the lead level in her blood is very low at the moment.
However what does concern him is her long term care, and where she will end up.
In an ideal world he would like her to be cared for by a falconer, though she will never fly well enough to become a hunting falconry bird. But I believe she will fly well enough to keep fit and enjoy the freedom that flying free brings. The reason he is keen on her being cared for in a falconry background, is the constant contact and handling this brings every day which allows her to relax among people and give her a quality of life. He does not want her to end up in an aviary where, without constant contact and handling, she would revert back to being wild and become fearful and feel trapped. In that situation he feels the quality of life would be very poor, and euthanasia would be his recommendation.
In short, she goes back in 3 weeks time to see how we have got on with her training, and to see just how far her flying has progressed. When I go back I will tell the vet that I will try to commit to her welfare long term; this is something I had not given a great deal of thought to yet, as all I had thought about until now was getting her as well as possible and flying to the best of her ability.
On a good note I have been granted a registration document from Animal Health (DEFRA) for her as her keeper, it arrived this morning.
The project team adds:
Our thanks to Colin for reporting back on the situation following 010's visit to the vet today. It's clear that not only have we - the Project Team - got an obligation to look after 010's best interests, we also have an obligation not to force 010 upon Colin, or indeed someone else, who might feel duty-bound to look after her for years to come when, deep down, that isn't really what they might want or could manage.
The vet is clearly concerned to ensure that eventually there is a long term commitment to her upkeep and quality of life, and it would be wrong of us all if, by our support for what Colin is doing now, we push him into a corner that he never expected to be in. His decision - and ours - need to be made on what's best for all involved, and for now we are immensely grateful to him for his superb care of this injured wild bird.
You have all been so supportive of what Colin is doing. However, we're worried that the intensity of your support via the blog comments might force him into making long-term decisions he wouldn't otherwise make. So we'll continue to support him, of course, in the great work he has been doing but also in what has to be a completely separate and long-term decision which impacts not only on the bird's future, but also on his own.
Footnotes: Another local photographer, John Salloway, has posted a high definition video showing 010's progress. Follow this link to John's Blog
We are expecting an engineer on 14th July to repair or replace our wireless bridge - so apologies for the protracted breakdown in webcam service.
Would anyone spotting either of our two juveniles please leave a comment on the blog for all to see?

Well, here I am in not so sunny Edinburgh, desperate for news of oh-ten ... and, phew, so glad to see she's still with us. After the initial euphoria, I note there are still concerns, not least for Colin who has been left somewhat holding the baby. It worries me also that that blooming shot has still not passed through. I'd like to give a big hurrah to Edinburgh - not only does their library have internet access, but it's cost me nothing. I'd also report that en-route to the west coast, I went to Loch Garten and saw their magnificent Osprey project. Didn't persuade husband to detour to Derby on the way up .... maybe I'll have better luck on the way back!

I'd be really surprised if there was nobody out there willing to build a life long and rewarding relationship with #010.
If she becomes reasonably airworthy various career prospects beckon which do not require her to hunt and kill. Airfield bird dispersal, environmental education, and falconry displays spring to mind.
The alternative would be to snuff out this young life which would be a tremendous pity.

My apologies to Colin.
I feel I owe an apology for an earlier post I made regarding Colin being the best person to have and take care of Oh-ten.
I wrongly assumed that he would be happy to keep her. On saying that I do understand that it is not to be taken lightly, she will need a lot of care and dedication and I know Colin has a busy life with his other birds, who are not wild.
Because Oh-ten has become so special, wherever she ends up people will want to visit her and this is something else to consider. If she were truly in the wild without human intervention she would probably have died. If she is to live I hope that a suitably experienced person is found who will be able to give her the loving care and devote their time to her.
I agree with John B (not the sloop) regarding a career for Oh-ten, there must be someone who can give her a happy fulfilling life. We could feel proud then that we have given her the opportunity. (I just wish I were a Falconer!)
I also believe that if she cannot be given a happy and healthy life then euthanasia would be the better option, despite how we all feel we have to do right by her.
- 7 July 2009 at 13:30
Glad to hear 010 is ok for now. I am sure that all involved will make the best decision for her welfare. Great effort been put in by all!
Lets not forget the other juveniles!
Have both been seen recently?

@ All team members and Colin.
Thanks so very much for your latest report on 010. Sounds like there is plenty of hope for her yet. I don't think it is going to be easy for anyone to make a decision one way or the other. I am sure no one wants to knowingly put any pressure on anyone to commit to long term care. I feel that there is someone out there who will do it and do it really well. I certainly will be praying for that and for the well being of 010 what ever decision is made. She has spunk and made it thus far I know she will continue to thrive in the wonderful care that you Colin have given her so far. What ever you decide we all know will be the best thing for all concerned. I don't think anyone has any doubt about that. We will support the team in what ever you decide knowing it was made with everyone and everything taken into consideration. May God bless you all for the magnificent job you all do so well. Many thanks for helping to give us a good reason to do our best to make a difference in this world and to switch on this little box everyday we call a computer.
- 7 July 2009 at 14:01
Thank you so much for the update on 010. I hope that all turns out for the best, whatever decision is made, it cannot be easy for the vet or Colin.

I am so glad 010 is doing okay.
I know what a tremendous responsibility life long care of an animals is, so I totally understand the decision Colin has to make. I wore out after caring for my elderly cats with long illnesses and currently do not have a cat.
I hope that if 010 can't stay with Colin, that another falconer can be found for her. Perhaps Colin or the team members know some other falconers whom they trust whom they could talk to about this if it comes to that.

@ All our friends on this blog. I have just posted a Friendship Card on my blog for everyone on here. If you would like to see it. Just click on my name it will take you to the blog. I hope it will inspire us including my-self to make some changes and do an even better job of taking care of our friends and including nature's friends.

I would welcome a report from anyone who has been to the Cathedral Green to see the peregrines. Are they all still okay and flying around. Has there been any mid-air food passes? Have they learned to catch their own food yet? Anyone who knows could you please update us.
PS. What is the situation on the webcams, I see they are still down?

- Colin said...
I am glad to give 010 a home and indeed she seems content. And if she continues to do well and is comfortable I enjoy the time we share. To be honest i don't think she will fly well enough to be used for bird dispersal or perhaps flying displays, but never say never. Enviromental education seems a good idea and she seems a falcon with the right disposition and temperament. I don't mind being her keeper and if she can be used education that would be something she could fill. The problem lies with me not being up to the mark when public speaking but more than willing to support a a confident speaker, she is amazing to see close up. For me its not really hard to commit to her , I think the world of her its more about me stiffling her and not giving her the best use of her life and giving her some sort of fulfillment. What I am saying I am happy indeed honoured to be her keeper. But realise they could be better options for her in the future.
- 7 July 2009 at 16:52
I was so happy to hear that 010 is continuing to thrive, and now I think that despite what we as individuals would like for 010 we must step back and let the project decide what is best for her,I would like them to know I stand behind them and am just grateful that they give us a glimpse into these beautiful birds life.
- 7 July 2009 at 17:05
- Ann ( Canada ) said...
@ Colin, thanks so much for your commitment to 010. I knew that everything would turn out for the best. She will indeed bring you much pleasure and I am sure will serve a very useful purpose in educating the public and our young ones. Children are my passion as much a nature. You will be well rewarded in so many way. I know you already have been and will continue to be. That you already understand. We all wish you the very best of times with her and in the rest of your work. More people like you are needed. Cheers Colin and bless you in your efforts to protect and care for this very special creature, that has touched our lives in a delightful way.
- 7 July 2009 at 18:16
Thanks for the update Colin. I'm sure no-one could say you are stiffling 010 and if she gets through this and it comes to taking her to educate people in whatever way, offers in help would come your way to write/produce/put over to your audience whatever you would like to say to them. If that is what you would like us supporters of the site to do, just let us know.
Thank you once again for your tremendous help to 010. It is a pleasure to keep up to date with your blog entries.
- 7 July 2009 at 19:09
- Karen Anne said...
Hi, Colin,
Thanks for the update and for caring for her. As long as she is happy, I think her being in any sort of educational thing or whatever is of no significance, just my opinion.

Jon has a video of 010 at
Alas, I can't get it to play. Has anyone figured out why vimeo fails for some people? Thanks.
- 8 July 2009 at 01:06
- Ann ( Canada ) said...
@ Jon Really loved your video Jon. This really helps us to see her progress. I like to call her "Hope" Thanks for posting it and sharing this wonderful experience with us all. Hope there will be more in the future.
- 8 July 2009 at 01:53
- Karen Anne said...
Jon changed his video setup so that his video can be downloaded. I followed his directions, and if you join vimeo there will be a download button in the lower right corner of his video page to download the video into Windows Media Player. So that takes the net connection out of the problem.
I did that and got it to play on my pc with a number of freezes, etc. Apparently it is very high definition, ex: he says it takes a few seconds to download to his system, but it took about five minutes to download to mine, despite my having a high speed Internet connection.
I have a reasonably up to date pc, and can watch instant movies from netflix, for example, with no problem, so I think either the data is massive and only very high end pcs can handle it, or vimeo has some optimizing work to do. At the least they should have a viewer option to play in a lower res.
But, whining aside ;-) it is great to see 010 in action, taking a short flight in the open. Such a beautiful bird.
- 8 July 2009 at 08:33
- Tom Stephenson said...
It's interesting (leaving aside Colin's predicament - sorry!) to see from the x-ray how heavily structured the leg-bones of Peregrines are, even though we know they have to be. Poor 010 is probably also serving a useful purpose right now in providing data as to what does actually happen when a bird ingests lead shot, which could be used by future specialists. Oh well, look on the bright side...
- 8 July 2009 at 08:52
Karen Anne ... I had problems with the new video too. It stopped and started several times until it fully loaded and then it played fine. It is a good one, and well worth persevering with.

- Project Member (Derby Museum) said...
What a lovely video of Colin and 010 on his blog. (I also had problems viewing it, but didn't have any difficulty viewing his earlier video on Vimeo).
Just to report that I've taken a call from our Network supprot company - they're going to send out an engineer to check/replace the faulty wireless link from the Tower to The Silk Mill Museum. It looks like it will still be a few days before we're up and running again.
Meanwhile thanks to you all for your patience, but most especially for your understanding of the position we are all in with regards to the care and welfare of 010.
- 8 July 2009 at 12:24
Can I please direct you (though you probably know them well) to our fairly local marvellous falconers in Hampshire at www.hawk-conservancy.org
- 8 July 2009 at 13:26
As an aside - for those of you still experiencing withdrawal (ie everyone probably) the New Forest National Park Authority/RSPB [Goshawk webcam feed] has now been switched to a nesting Hobby. She's still on eggs and has about a fortnight to go before they hatch.
Unlike Derby cathedral's celebrity residents Hobbies aren't the fastest living things on the planet but they are undeniably jaw droppingly good looking birds.
- 8 July 2009 at 17:37
I just watched the video with no problems. It's really good to see Oh-ten out and exercising her wings, she ate her meal with confidence, Colin you are doing a great job, she is so beautiful I can completely understand how you feel about her. Could I please come to see her, I've been wanting to for a while now?
- 8 July 2009 at 19:56
Just watched Jon's video of 010, a sheer pleasure to watch, Thank You!! Hopefully this magnificent bird will, in time, be flying free, fingers crossed.
- 8 July 2009 at 20:07
- Colin said...
010 flew in her fashion a few mis judged landings which included my head and shoulder, but she lifted of the block and made 15 yards or so to her split rations, which she ate on the fist. Really pleased
with her effort. I suppose over the next few weeks we will see if there is any further improvement.
And yes I know of the hawk conservancy.
- 8 July 2009 at 21:58
hi colin just watched the video on your blog, great progress. I'm glad that you are taking great care of her, and are able to keep updating us on her progress. And that she hasn't gone to someone else who prob wouldn't feel the need to report her progress back to us all who have been watching her since she was an egg on the cathedral, thanks again simon
- 9 July 2009 at 16:38
@ Colin, thank you for the update on 010 good to hear she is coming along well.What other birds do you have?
- 9 July 2009 at 17:11
- Terry, Herts UK said...
I don't think I'd be too keen on a falcon heading straight towards me and mis-landing on my head!
Time for a hat perhaps, Colin? :)
- 9 July 2009 at 18:20
- Ann ( Canada ) said...
@ Colin. Well Coin your latest report on 010 "Hope" sounds really possitive and I think we shall all be encouraged by it. She certainly seems quite content I gathered, from watching Jon's video. I can't wait to see her and by then the progress will probably be considerably more. Hopefully she will be able to educate children and adults and enjoy human company, if this is to be her reason for still being with us. Please keep us up to date I enjoyed your blog Colin. I am still learning how to do them. It's all so new to me. Hope your saw my friendship rose I posted on my blog and the poem I made up.
@ Anyone Has anyone been around the Cathedral lately and have anything at all to tell us?
- 9 July 2009 at 18:58
Hi Colin, I'd just like to ask probably a silly question. Is it not possible for a veterinary surgeon to manipulate 010's shoulder into the correct position under anaesthetic and strap it up if neccesary for a while ?
I think you are doing a wonderful job with her, and I love keeping up to date with her progress through the photos, video's & updates. Dorothy

hi everyone i have now updated my blog fully and almost upto date. so if anyone wants to take a look then feel free. the pictures are in no perticular order, although the ones further down my blog are more recent at the moment.
yesterday i walked through the green on my way to the hospital and noticed the adult male sat on the ledge, i did get a couple of shots although not much movement at all.
on my blog there is updates from myself from going with colin and his peregrines, i hope the pictures do the expereiance justace.

@ Dorothy and all.
The vet did try to relocate the joint while she was under.To have stood any chance at all, it needed to be treated with in hours of the accident, and because she seemed to have dissapeared from view for a week or more before she was spotted again, when it was aparent she was not quite right, I guess her shoulder was damaged perhaps a week or more before hunger forced her to perhaps try and fly. She did really well last night and flew better than I anticipated. Good headway even from last sunday.
- 10 July 2009 at 11:21
- Karen Anne said...
Hi, Dorothy,
I'm sure the project guys and Colin can answer this better, but I believe 010's shoulder was said to have already healed in the wrong position. If it were a new dislocation, that would presumably be different.
Now she's in the situation sort of like when someone breaks a leg and it heals unset, the doctor has to rebreak it to correct it. Not quite that bad, but a huge stress for a delicate animal.
- 10 July 2009 at 12:42
Hi Colin, I will respect whatever decision you want to make on the birdie. Thank you for taking time to look after her. Jennie, Hong Kong.
- 10 July 2009 at 14:52
Colin & Karen-Anne, thanks for your reply, it was just a thought, I think I probably already knew the answer. I'm so glad she's going to stay with you Colin, as Simon said, someone else may not feel the need to keep all her fans updated who have known her since she was an egg !! All the best, Dorothy

I'll add, my cousin dislocated his shoulder years ago, and from time to time it spontaneously dislocates again from very little cause.

Can he catch his own food though, Karen?
- 10 July 2009 at 22:46
Glad to see all still going on OK with 010 - TOUCH WOOD! That X-ray shot made me wince, makes you realise what a nasty break she suffered, not at all apparent from the pictures of her looking magnificent. Does anyone have any news/sightings of the other family members? I was interested to see the Hobby info - they might not be a match for the peregrine in many respects but what IS amazing about them is that they migrate (speaking of which, can anyone recommend a good book on migration - not necessarily just birds. I'd like it to have a big map in it with routes shown. I'd love to observe the autumn migrations - I guess Gibralter would be a great place?)
- 11 July 2009 at 11:04
OH, PS - meant to say, have finally joined the RSPB, on the strength of some of the great things I've seen on my holiday walkabout. We're all singing off the same songsheet, I guess - but Derby will always feel so much more personal to me :)
- 11 July 2009 at 11:09
Sue: don't know a good book on migration such as you require. While some birds follow well defined routes, others migrate on a broad front - the hobby is one of these, only showing up at well known raptor migration watch points in small numbers. SW Spain is excellent - we go to Tarifa, to the hills just to the East where the migration in September is spectacular - we've seen the sky just full of raptors and storks slowly drifting south - a fantastic sight.
Where to watch birds in Britain and Europe - by John Gooders (Hamlyn) is an old book but there's a table in it showing which species can be seen throughout the migration season which starts in August with white storks and finishes in October/November.
I also recommend An Artist on Migration by Bruce Pearson (HarperCollins), one of our top UK wildlife artists. He journeyed down to W. Africa, watching our UK birds as they travelled south, painting them en route.
As for the marvellous hobby (my favourite raptor!) - try the excellent monograph by Anthony Chapman simply called The Hobby (Arlequin press). A very good read.

Hi Colin,
You are in a bit of a jam here because I understand to some degree, its not only about commitment, time, money or love of a creature, its about what is fair to that creature and as much as we love them all its very, very difficult to put yourself 'outside of the box' because you are so involved and have been since the very beginning. I don't envy you my love but can only thank you a million times over for what you are doing and will be 100% behind whatever decision is made by the team. No pressure then?! God bless you Colin.

Confirmed sighting of juvenile No 11 yesterday on the local police stations aerial mast. He was with the falcon. No others seen.
- 12 July 2009 at 10:25
Thanks, Jon, for sighting updates (am I misremembering or do I correctly recall our birds are often around police premises ... they are very law abiding!) Thanks also to Nick (DWT) for the migration info. I have a sneaking preference for hobbies too (don't tell our gorgeous Derby peregrines). I recall that last season a wonderful piece of artwork from Derby Museum featuring hobbies and dragonflies was posted on this blog. I have masses of migration info to wade through now, thanks, should keep me busy. I also had a brainwave - I should see what the BTO have - a very interesting website exists at http://www.bto.org/birdatlas/index.htm
Now, how to persuade husband we need an autumn break in southern Spain as well as several trips to Derby ......

Thanks for the update. Having no webcam is like sending your kids off to college and they never write :-)
That's a great second video of Cathy on your website. She is looking so well. And for some reason this one plays okay for me.
How is her weight doing? It wasn't clear to me from the question on the video if that was okay? She is looking great flying, even though she can't fly at full capacity.
- 12 July 2009 at 14:21
I was just wondering when 010 was
named? and why that name was chosen, was she named because she will never be a wild bird? I am so glad she is doing so well.
- 12 July 2009 at 18:16
@Pax Canada
To answer your question, if you click on Colin's name in one of the above entries, it'll take you to his site (alternatively, I belive there's a link back on the Derby site somewhere) Follow through the entries there to find the answer you're looking for. I think Colin has the right to call out something other than 010 when he flies her but I'll not extend that privilege to myself - I shall continue to call here 010.
If you click on Jon Salloway's link, you'll get to the videos that people have been commenting on.
- 12 July 2009 at 19:16
- Colin said...
I named her Cathy as she was from the Cathedral, orignal I know :)
It got to the stage when I was calling her off and I needed to call her something. And I gave her the name there and then. She was fed of the lure tonight, I can hoist the lure higher on a carbon pole, once she as took her meals on it for a few days, and got use to it to encourage her to fly higher. It was clear she expected her meal on the fist, but eventually she realisd there was something interesting on the lure. @ Karen Anne her weight is fine and she is in real good health.
- 12 July 2009 at 19:43
All the Hobbyphiles seem to be coming out of the closet just now so I may as well declare my hand as well. These dashing and handsome little falcons have long been a personal favourite for me.
We have one that patrols the River Wye corrider quite regularly at Yat Rock and it's appearances invariably lead us to abandon the telescopes in excitement no matter how well the resident Peregrines are posing. Even Goshawks don't normally have that effect.
- 13 July 2009 at 09:16
- simon said...
i've never been lucky enough to see a hobby in the wild yet i've been looking but they're quite hard to spot by all accounts low to the ground and very fast. the only goshawk sightings i've heard off is in wales, does anyone else know of any other areas as these are hard to spot aswell. but for me you cant beat the peregrine what a bird.
- 13 July 2009 at 11:55
@Simon (and other hobbyphiles)
Hobbies returning to this country gather around the Tring Reservoirs in Hertfordshire. If you google "Friends of Tring reservoirs" you can see there's always a "welcome back the hobbies" walk - this year it was on May 10th. Presumably, the hobbies also gather there for the return leg???? They disperse to I know not where to nest - I think those who do know keep it secret because there is always a lunatic fringe who can't be trusted not to harm the birds. If you can make it down to Tring, maybe see you next year. I saw them this May - they fly really high up at that time, looking like giant swifts. Indeed, a hobby took a swift and I thought it a bit sad that the poor swift had just made a huge journey just to end up as dinner. As we say over and over though, it's nature's way. I can't really pick a favourite bird species - they're all special in their various ways. I'm also extremely fond of ravens, just to be really controversial! But, I've said it before and will say it again, Derby and its peregrines are the best of the lot - can't wait for the camera to come back on line, am really missing it.

@ COLIN Well I hae to say if I may rather disappointed in the name that was chosen for 010. Oh I know you can't please all the people all the time lol. It's just a sad blow for me. I call her "Hope" I thought she brought me so much hope in the future for nature and humans. For personal reasons I can't share I despise the name Cathy. It's not your fault Colin don't feel bad. Just could not have chosen a worse name for me. Oh well I know she will do wonderful in your care what ever her name is and you certainly had the right to call her what ever you wanted. I will try not to hold it against her lol lol :o) Any news on the cameras yet? Also any more sightings of the birds around the Cathedral?
- 13 July 2009 at 19:05
Simon - I've yet to see a Hobby hugging the terrain like Merlins often do but treetop height is quite usual as they hawk for dragonflies around gravel pits etc. I've seen them much higher when chasing hirundines around later in the season.
Any substantial areas of woodland with big conifer blocks can yield Goshawks these days. The Forest of Dean is pretty good.
- 14 July 2009 at 09:01
- Tom Stephenson said...
Sue - I am also very fond of Ravens, and I don't see why not! There are plenty in the Bath area these days, and I'm looking forward to the arrival of Red Kites. I remember when it was big news that the first pair of Buzzards were to be seen nesting near Bath. Now there's loads, but sadly not as many as seagulls.

- Colin said...
@ Anne her name to others can be a name of their own choice, she perhaps represents many different aspects and aspirations to her follower's. I have been impressed by her "desire" and "spirit" to get her self back on the wing. Many have seen the X-ray and find it hard to believe she can fly at all. But Cathy to me links her to Derby Cathedral from where she whence came. Can I say a big thank you to all that have emailed me, wrote comments on the blogs offering support and wishing Cathy all the best. Writing is not my strong point so if I have not replied, it does not mean that they are not appreciated its great to know people care.
- 14 July 2009 at 10:46
Just looked in and found no diary updates since the 7th. I just want to add my voice to some of the other comments, to say I will respect any decision that's made with regards to 010. Colin has been put in a very difficult situation but it might turn out to be a very rewarding and life-changing one for him, only time will tell. I'm sure we're all behind you whatever you decide.
By the way, I think Cathy is a great name for her. Puts me in mind of Wuthering Heights, that Cathy was never really free to fly either... so sad.
Sorry I've not had chance to go through all the comments on this page in detail - still wondering, have there been any sightings of the two male juveniles recently?

hi sue and john thanks for the info, sounds like 2 great spots to watch the hobby and the goshawk. My family might appreciate me taking them to see some different birds instead of the peregrines even tho they seem to love them to hard not to really. John thanks for pointing out the difference between the hobby and the merlin, when i wrote it thought it sounded like the merlin. i did a falconry course in edinburgh this april they had a merlin there 1st 1 i'd seen great little bird, i've probably got more chance of spotting 1 now i know the difference, come on the cameras, kind regards simon

@ Colin. I am with you all the way Colin. "Hope" she will be to me and as you say she may be something else to someone else. It's been a tough year the loss of our home and all. Then marriage break up in the family etc.etc. My husband and I have been put through the worst of it this past year. Keeping a watch on the Peregrines has kept my mind off it most of the time. I was so sad when we lost one of the juvies and then 010 being injured. Seems like a bad year for so many humans and the wildlife. Habitat being destroyed everywhere. You are doing a truly wonderful job Colin and I wish so much that there was more that my husband and I could do more to help. Other than change how we purchase things what we purchase and educating the public that is about it. I guess every little helps right! Looking forward to seeing her in September and I will take you up on your idea to call her what ever she means to me. Can I bring you anything from Canada Colin?

@Colin, your writing is just fine and you know we're ALL on your side and very grateful for all you're doing with "our" bird. It's incredibly kind of you to keep us posted too with updates in what must be a really busy life for you. You'll never please all of the people all of the time with whatever name you need to use for birdie-010 so don't worry!
@Tom, I felt a bit guilty going off topic about ravens, but they're pretty magnificent birds. I went to Shetland for Up Helly Aa this year and the place is full of them! On "the day" a raven flag also flies over Lerwick Town Hall, which I thought a fine thing. Clever birds, ravens! I have been known to go to the Tower of London just to look at the ravens (OK, I'm a bit weird) We have tons of Red Kites in the Chilterns and they are now spreading rapidly, I'm sure they'll get to Bath soon - I predict down the M4 corridor, where they can find lots of carrion.

@Sue - another off-topic spin-off!: My 2nd favourite film (by Powell and Pressburger), "I know Where I'm Going". 1st favourite (by same): "A Canterbury Tale". Lovely.

Simon - If you're really wanting to find Hobbies then Shapwick Heath in Somerset ought to do the trick. Hobbies appear in large numbers whenever there's a dragonfly hatch and seeing 50+ in a day isn't unheard of. Details here [Shapwick Heath NNR] though it doesn't specifically mention Hobbies.
To be honest any lake or gravel pit which attracts flocks of swallows, swifts and sand/house martins can produce Hobbies throughout the second half of the summer.

thanks for that john with my job i get plenty of time off and my wifes a teacher so the big 6 weeks are coming up so i should be able to get down there thanks again. And if anyone wants an oppotunity to name 4 peregrine chicks there's a competition on the malham cove websight to name the 4 chicks and win a goody bag from the rspb, i've named my'ne but i'm not going to tell u incase u pinch them. good luck and a bit of fun whilst the cameras are down all the best simon.

(Sorry, having another "blonde" interlude - previous typo'd comment removed and this corrected one made)
@Simon, a place with MASSES of drangonflies is the WWT place at Welney. I don't know if it also gets HOBBIES but it's well worth a visit anyway. It's just down the way from the RSPB Ouse Washes. We went on a Welney "canoe safari" a couple of weeks ago and it was quite magical - the air was full of dragonflies and damselflies - so any passing hobby would be able to have a banquet! Welney is usually my place of winter consolation - it's sad when summer goes but the wonderful Whooper and Bewick swans come back.

SCU Facebook Viewing Party March 14 is Part of Obama's "Stay With It" Campaign to Boost U.S. Engineering Students
Deborah Lohse
Montel Williams, Intel's Otellini, join Google and Facebook execs to celebrate and motivate engineering students on Obama's "National Day of Engineering"
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 8, 2102 — As part of a nationwide effort to halt the decline in qualified U.S. engineering students, Santa Clara University is joining with schools across the nation in viewing a motivational FacebookLIVE event from noon to 1 p.m. March 14.
At SCU, an expected 130 attendees will watch the FacebookLIVE event featuring celebrity (and engineer) Montel Williams, Intel CEO Paul Otellini, and Charles Bolden of NASA, among other technology company executives. In partnership with MTV, those speakers will be sharing personal stories, music videos, and motivational messages from President Obama and others to drive home a message to "stay with it" when it comes to pursuing an engineering degree.
SCU students will gather for the event from noon to 1 p.m. March 14, at the Benson Memorial Center's Bronco room on SCU's campus, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA. Students who attend will receive coupons for $10 worth of lunch at Benson, and will be entered for a drawing to win an Asus Zenbook 13-inch Ultrabook.
The campaign is part of the effort by President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness to address the nation's shortage of engineers. In June 2011, Obama announced an initiative to train an additional 10,000 engineering graduates each year, to boost U. S. competitiveness and innovation.
Nationwide, only 14 percent of all undergraduate students are enrolled in science, technology, engineering or math program, and there is a 40 percent attrition rate after the first year for students in those disciplines. Obama has said he believes there's "an incredible diversity of talent out there waiting to be tapped."
To tackle the problem, the Council designated March 14 "National Day of Engineering," with events planned across the country and a new community of resources being unveiled for students pursuing an engineering degree.
A new Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/StayWithItEngineering, has been created, featuring messages of encouragement to engineering students from CEOs of companies like IBM, DuPont, Walmart, and Xerox, as well as celebrities like Wil.I.Am, Will Smith and others.
Santa Clara University School of Engineering has been lauded for having a four-year graduation rate that far surpasses the national average – at about 66 percent, compared with the 22 percent of public schools nationwide or 45 percent at private institutions.
Engineering Dean Godfrey Mungal last month met with President Obama at a White House event celebrating the efforts of 40 top engineering deans who are succeeding in retaining and graduating high-caliber engineering students.

On Thursday, a day that will live in infamy for the Yankees and their fans, do you know which team member performed the best at Comerica Park?
Alex Rodriguez.
Granted, it came off the field and after the game, but everyone else set the bar pretty low.
In the bloody aftermath of the Yankees' embarrassing, 8-1 loss to the Tigers, sweeping them out of the American League Championship Series, A-Rod took responsibility for his own terrible performance and vowed to return to the Yankees next year "on a mission."
He added, "I've got to look in the mirror."
It was good stuff, and now, in order for A-Rod and the Yankees to work together once more after their latest tiff, for Rodriguez to wear the pinstripes in 2013, A-Rod must honor his own words. He must look in the mirror, the Yankees feel, and realize who he is at this point.
A-Rod is no longer a baseball superstar. Not in the present, anyway. He is just a ballplayer — one who, if everything goes right, can be slightly above average at his position.
He is a celebrity because of what he has done in the past, not because of what he can do now.
"Look at my track record," Rodriguez said Thursday. "It's pretty darn good."
It's a Hall of Fame career, undoubtedly. But the track record doesn't lie. Since he re-upped with the Yankees for 10 years and $275 million following his Most Valuable Player 2007 campaign, A-Rod's OPS has declined each season. That's five straight years.
He's injury-prone, and as we know, he had a terrible season against right-handed pitching. And what compounds all of this, in the A-Rod calculation, is he can still be as high-maintenance as he was when he was dominating Major League Baseball.
Oh, and Yankees fans don't seem to want him back, either. Just check The Post's poll results today.
A trade doesn't seem likely. In some order, the Yankees would have to 1) get A-Rod's approval to a specific team or teams and 2) work out a trade with a club that works for A-Rod.
The problem with the first is that A-Rod, even after the turbulence of this postseason, "loves the limelight," as one official from another team put it. Yes, he loves partying in Miami and the folks there are very fond of him, but does he really want to banish himself to baseball Siberia?
The problem with No. 2 is that there simply is limited interest from other clubs. While A-Rod still exhibits good hands and can throw well at third base, he has very limited range, and his 37-year-old body can't handle the grind of playing there too often. That has to inhibit the National League's Marlins and Dodgers, another logical target given their location and their generous new ownership, from taking him.
The natural inclination is for the Yankees to find another team's albatross and work something out; you've heard Miami's Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell mentioned, or the Dodgers' Carl Crawford, or the Angels' Vernon Wells. Eh. Not very exciting prospects, are they? Nor is paying off some 80 or 90 percent of the $114 million that is owed A-Rod through 2017.
No, the most exciting scenario for A-Rod is that getting repeatedly benched and lifted for a pinch-hitter humbles him the way his 2009 confession to illegal performance-enhancing drug usage did. Not that he can reasonably duplicate the 30 homers and .933 OPS he tallied that season, but as he said then, he forgot about everything else and just focused on being a baseball player.
He needs to embrace that mentality again, only dial down the expectations and the diva desires. The same way that Ichiro Suzuki agreed to play left field and hit at the bottom of the Yankees' lineup before he could be liberated by the Mariners.
He needs to be OK with hitting fifth or sixth, and with sitting more often against right-handers, and with getting lifted for a pinch hitter against righties late in games. And for gosh darn sakes, when he gets lifted for a pinch hitter in a playoff game, he can't be hitting on fans during the game. Or at least he can't get caught doing so.
A-Rod will never be low-maintenance or low-drama. Let's be realistic. At this point, though, the Yankees will settle for medium drama and medium production. That would be an acceptable recipe for reconciliation.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf posted a major lead ahead of the opposition in preliminary election results released yesterday, but analysts say that it will not be enough for the Nobel Peace Prizewinning incumbent to deliver on her promise of a first-round victory.
Armored riot police guarded the National Electoral Commission (NEC) headquarters in Monrovia yesterday afternoon as NEC chairman James Fromayan announced the preliminary results. But the streets remained calm even as results failed to point to a clear victory by either the ruling Unity Party or the major opposition party the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), led by the Harvard-educated former Justice Minister Winston Tubman and soccer legend George Weah, who ran against Ms. Sirleaf in the 2005 elections.
Sirleaf and her running mate, the current vice president Joseph Nyema Boakai, took 44.5 percent of the vote and an 18 percent lead over Mr. Tubman and Mr. Weah. Former warlord and current Sen. Prince Johnson – best known around the globe for the key role he played Liberia's first civil war, including capturing and killing former President Samuel Doe, and his battles with Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) – took 13.5 percent of the vote.
A warlord as 'kingmaker'?
Mr. Johnson has widely been quoted by media outlets saying he will be "the kingmaker" and has said he will support the CDC if either party was unable to take 51 percent of the vote and the elections were driven to a second round. Some analysts say it remains unclear as to whom Johnson will back. However there is a chance Johnson, who remains popular in his home county of Nimba, where he was elected as a senator in 2005, could determine who takes the presidency.
"He is a difficult man and he is erratic and unpredictable," said Dan Saryee, executive director of the Liberia Democratic Institute. "Even though he pronounced that he supported CDC, because of his erratic nature I wouldn't rely on that."
However, Saryee says that Johnson is holding enough of the vote at the moment to pose a threat to the Unity Party's chances at reelection. "If he [Johnson] still takes the same line and supports the CDC, it means that the Unity Party will have to do a lot of work. He does have a lot of the vote given the provisional results we have."
While there has been a great deal of commentary on whether there will be a runoff, fewer than 200,000 of the 1.7 million votes have been tallied and only 2.5 percent of votes counted in the key county of Montserrado, in which the capital and around 35 percent of the voting population are located. Thus, the implications of the results still remain unclear. The NEC will be releasing additional preliminary results today and final results on Oct. 26 that will determine whether there will be a run off, with one party needing to take 51 percent of the vote in order to claim victory.
Uncertainty on the street
For Liberian citizens and supporters of both parties, the results tell little about who their new president will be.
Alieu Swaray, a cellphone scratch-card vendor who voted for the Unity Party, said that he thinks a runoff is likely, but that Sirleaf will be victorious. Sitting behind a wooden stand with a sign pasted on it reading "No violence before, during and after the elections," Mr. Swaray said he was certain that the UP would be able to muster up the support of other marginal parties.
"When we go for the second round, most of the other parties will join us," Swaray said, confidently adding that the UP would gain Johnson's support also.
Milikie Wilmot, a security guard and CDC supporter, said he felt the preliminary results pointed to election rigging.
"I'm not feeling good about the results," said Mr. Wilmot. "I feel like cheating is going on and Sirleaf is paying bribes to win the election."
Wilmot's comment comes the day after the CDC's Tubman complained to the electoral commission, alleging that electoral staff had tampered with a small number of ballot boxes.
Another CDC supporter, public administration student Sedike Swairer, said the results were unclear at this stage. But he too was certain that his party would win.
"The people of Liberia will choose the CDC because they want jobs and a better life for themselves."

As genealogists we all need to think outside the box. We learn early on to consider alternate name spellings and ages. Sometimes we need to be more creative than other times.
While researching my husband's maternal line Sempsrott I have needed to be even more creative than usual. Unique first names can really help ferret out those mis-spelled surnames. I understand that a heavy German accent can cause misunderstandings in census records, but I think this name has had a record number of interpretations.
These are the variations I have found to date for the surname Sempsrott: Semporste-Semporstt-Sempscote-Semmsrote-Simprod-Semporatt-Semprot-Seniprot-Semparote-Semparoto-Sempsrote-Sempirote-Simpsrott-Senpscott-Sempscott and Sampsroth. There may be others that I haven't recorded as well as some I haven't found yet.

Consensus Report
Science Needs for Microbial Forensics: Developing Initial International Research Priorities (2014)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Microbial forensics has been defined as "a scientific discipline dedicated to analyzing evidence from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism or toxin release for attribution purposes," -- where attribution means determining "who did it." This emerging discipline seeks to offer investigators the tools and techniques to support efforts for attribution in the event of a suspicious release of a biological agent. But microbial forensics is still in the early stages of development and faces substantial scientific challenges to provide a robust suite of technologies for identifying the source of a biological threat agent and attributing a biothreat act to a particular person or group. This report, based partly on a workshop held in Zagreb, Croatia, identifies scientific needs that must be addressed to improve the capabilities of microbial forensics to investigate infectious disease outbreaks and provide evidence of sufficient quality to support legal proceedings and the development of government policies.
Key Messages
- The emerging field of microbial forensics focuses on identifying genetic and other the biological or chemical signatures of microbes to investigate biological crimes. The scientific challenges for microbial forensics would be difficult enough in the law enforcement context of a single nation, but if a suspected deliberate outbreak spanned national boundaries, the challenges would be even greater.
- Little is known about most of the microbial world -- and much of what we do know comes from the very few microorganisms that can be cultured in laboratories. The dearth of information about the vast majority of microbes represents a major scientific knowledge gap. For example, in the event of a biothreat, scientists need baseline information on the natural abundance and distribution of the pathogen to help figure out if the presence of the pathogen is natural or the result of a deliberate or inadvertent release.
- The technologies for microbial forensics could aid not only law enforcement and policy makers, but also public health workers in trying to identify the source of infectious disease outbreaks. Expanding capabilities for detecting and responding to the whole spectrum of natural, intentional, and accidental outbreaks of disease -- not just the rare event of a serious biological attack -- will ensure that the relevant tools and procedures are used frequently and available when needed in the event of a bioterrorist attack.
- Although there are criteria for considering whether a disease outbreak is unusual, determining whether such an event is due to natural, accidental, or deliberate causes, and collecting the information to work through these criteria at the time of an outbreak is likely to be time-consuming and slow. More rapid and effective responses are needed to minimize loss of life, spread of illness, and to thwart criminal or terrorist activity and prevent follow-on attacks, so there is a strong need for the development of high-confidence methodologies to distinguish among natural, accidental, and deliberate outbreaks of infectious disease.
- All components of a microbial forensics investigation need to be validated --from methods for collection and sampling, preservation and handling, to identification of the agent. Establishing criteria and requirements for validation, and compiling a list of all validated protocols in use (e.g., for sampling, DNA extraction and isolation, and sequencing) would help ensure the quality of microbial forensic evidence.
- Advances in bioinformatics -- an interdisciplinary field that develops and improves on methods for storing, retrieving, organizing, and analyzing biological data -- are needed to help handle and analyze the huge amounts of data generated by new sequencing methods. Refinement of bioinformatics and statistical methods for evaluating evidence in microbial forensics is needed, including new algorithms that scale to very large data sets.
- Data sharing -- from biological information on gene sequences to software, protocols, and standard methods for microbial forensics procedures -- is critical. Sharing such data has the potential to promote international collaboration and cooperation among scientists, and, more importantly, inspire innovation. An international body that has the respect of the international political and scientific communities should begin discussions about how to share microbial forensic data soon.
- Establishing a comprehensive archive of reference materials -- including organisms, nucleic acids, and sequence information -- could facilitate the development of standardized nomenclature and techniques and provide references for genomic comparisons. Such a facility should take advantage of existing models, such as the American Type Culture Collection and the World Data Centre for Microorganisms.
- Microbial forensics is still a relatively new discipline. Training is needed for a number of purposes, including to increase the availability of trained microbial forensics practitioners, the awareness and preparedness of first responders, and to improve the understanding of policy makers and the public about what microbial forensics is and what it can and cannot accomplish.
- The authoring committee identified needs to develop microbial forensics further in basic science, technologies, analytic methods, data sharing, and training and education, and grouped them in terms of how difficult it will be to achieve them and whether there are existing efforts that can be drawn upon. The committee also identified a variety of procedural and policy needs, such as common understandings and protocols for collecting and managing samples within and among nations.

Whoa there, AT&T! Are we moving too fast? – We all know about the AT&T/T-Mobile possible merger, and most people have been openly showing their stand on this situation all over the internet. Even Sprint has turned in an official statement to the FCC, further clarifying that this this acquisition will create havoc and ultimately hurt the consumer.
In case you haven't seen this commercial, it was aired during NBA's Finals. AT&T seems to be set on acquiring T-Mobile, and pretty sure about it too, since they have even gone out of their way to make a commercial about the subject.
The commercial states that AT&T plans to combine with T-Mobile to bring a "stronger network." While most customers are complaining about this, it seems AT&T is going all out before the deal is even passed, and has already started to invest money on advertisement for said acquisition.
Things are moving faster than we thought, and AT&T is not stopping. It would help if all of us submit our opinions to the FCC and start acting as a community. For now, check out the video, and let us know what you think about it on the comments section!

Ewan McGregor a big fan of movie kids
The Scottish actor was tremendously impressed by the acting talents of Tom Holland, Samuel Joslin, and Oaklee Pendergast and he insists the youngsters have a very bright Hollywood future ahead of them.
The actor says, "I've seen directors actually scare children to provoke a reaction... I don't know what their concept of acting might be but they were extraordinary. There was a great understanding of pretend and reality.
"They called me and Naomi (Watts) mum and dad on set but they liked that because it was a game and it was funny. It helped to create this family that we have to believe in.
"Oaklee was ad-libbing lines all the time and he had real tears streaming down his face in scenes. They gave these incredible performances, these little people."

Why, Yes, Of Course The NSA Spying Involves More Companies Than Already Listed
from the them-too?-the-club-is-getting-bigger dept
And, of course, as the story gets bigger and bigger, we're now getting quotes from ex-government officials saying that even they are surprised at how comprehensive the surveillance appears to be.
"It looks from what I've seen to be larger than anything I thought we were doing," says Paul Rosenzweig, author of a recent book, Cyber Warfare.I heard the same basic thing from another ex-government official, who didn't want to be named, who had some knowledge of these kinds of programs back at the beginning in the 2008/2009 timeframe -- saying that if what's being said is true, the program has greatly expanded from where it originated.
Rosenzweig should know. As a former acting assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, he was one of those people given the kind of Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances needed to work on any project as sensitive as this. But, he says, "I wasn't read in on this."

Ryan Murphy's dramatization of the O.J. Simpson trial just got its Kardashian: David Schwimmer.
Schwimmer has joined the cast of the upcoming FX anthology series "American Crime Story" to play the defense attorney, and close friend of O.J.'s, Robert Kardashian (also the papa of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob).
The anthology series, patterned after Murphy's other hit, "American Horror Story," tackles a single story per season, and the first tale it's taking on is a doozy: the so-called "Trial of the Century," the trial of former football great Simpson for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

An alternative rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN) could be "doomed to fail" if it used the hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) network as a key part of the network, according to the Competitive Carriers Coalition (CCC).
The CCC represents Teltra's competitors – AAPT, Adam Internet, iinet, Macquarie Telecom, NextGen and Vodafone Hutchison Australia.
Last night, Malcolm Turnbull, shadow communications minister, said a Coalition government would not build the NBN in areas currently serviced by HFC in the "near term", which employs a mix of copper and fibre, covering around 30 per cent of Australia.
"You wouldn't be overbuilding the HFC areas in the near term because they're getting very good service already," he said on ABC's Lateline program.
Turnbull has previously indicated he would retain the HFC network in order to remove "barriers to competition" with the NBN.
But Matt Healy, chairman of the CCC, said a Coalition NBN would significantly undermine competition and customers would suffer if fibre was not deployed in the HFC footprint.
"These comments ignore the reality that such a proposal would mean that for 30 per cent of the population there would be no effective competitive broadband market," Healy said.
The CCC believed using the HFC as a key element of a national broadband network would create an "unlevel playing field" where Telstra would have a substantial amount of market power, which could be used to stifle competition.
"The net result would be the collapse of national broadband competition," the CCC said in a statement.
The CCC said the opposition's plan for the NBN would breach the "fundamental principles" of competition whereby policy must help to maximise competition.
"The CCC [calls] on the opposition to immediately abandon the idea of drawing a boundary around a national broadband network that excluded … crucial parts of the country," it said.
Turnbull recently told Computerworld Australia a Coalition government would honour existing contracts for the NBN and consider negotiating a round of further contracts to complete the roll out of a national network based on fibre-to-the-node technology, instead of fibre-to-the-premises.

LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles 4-1 in first round.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 7TH SEASON, 287-155-50; 11th overall 396-273-54.
ADDED: D Jason Garrison, D Derek Joslin, RW Guillaume Desbiens.
LOST: D Sami Salo, D Aaron Rome, D Marc-Andre Gragnani, RW Mark Mancari.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Cory Schneider. He replaced Roberto Luongo during last year's first-round exit and the 33-year-old goaltender seem to be on his way out. The 26-year-old Schneider signed a three-year, $12 million contract extension last summer.
OUTLOOK: The Canucks have perhaps more urgency than any other NHL team to win the Stanley Cup. Vancouver led the league in points the past two regular seasons. After being a win away from hoisting the Cup for the first time in 2011, the Canucks won only one postseason game last year against the Kings.
LAST SEASON: 42-27-13, 97 points. Lost to Los Angeles Kings 4-1 in Western Conference Finals.
COACH: Dave Tippett, 4th season with Coyotes, 125-78-33; 9th overall, 406-234-98 in NHL.
ADDED: LW Steve Sullivan, D Zbynek Michalek, RW David Moss.
LOST: LW Ray Whitney, LW Taylor Pyatt, D Adrian Aucoin, C Daymond Langkow, D Michal Rozsival.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Mike Smith. The shaggy-haired goalie known as Smitty proved to be a more-than-capable No. 1 goalie in his first full season on the job, winning 28 games with eight shutouts and a 2.21 goals-against average. With the confidence of last season's deep playoff run, he could be a Vezina Trophy candidate.
OUTLOOK: The Coyotes should be brimming with confidence after winning their first division title and reaching the conference finals for the first time in 33 years as an NHL franchise. With the core of last year's roster back, they should be position to get the lockout-shortened season off to a good start and be able to sustain it toward another possible deep run in the playoffs.
LAST SEASON: 43-29-10, 96 points. Lost to St. Louis 4-1 in first round.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 5th season, 195-92-41.
ADDED: D Brad Stuart, F Adam Burish.
LOST: F Torrey Mitchell, F Daniel Winnik, F Dominic Moore, F Brad Winchester, F Andrew Murray, D Colin White, D Jim Vandermeer.
PLAYER TO WATCH: D Brent Burns. The big acquisition before last season, Burns struggled in his first season with the Sharks as he tried to figure out how to fit in. His points and assists were down from his final year in Minnesota and he was not nearly the aggressive, hard-hitting defenseman the Sharks had been expecting. The Sharks hope that an increased comfort level will lead to better results in year two for Burns.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks hope to be a faster, more aggressive team after the disappointing finish a year ago. They brought back most of the key players from that squad led by captain Joe Thornton but hope Hall of Famer Larry Robinson's impact on the struggling penalty kill unit as a new assistant will help return San Jose near the top of the conference.

If there ever comes a time that Warren Buffett shows an interest in your business, let him buy it with shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock and forget about cash. Some of the richest families in America acquired their multibillion-dollar fortunes this way.
All in all, at least six families worth $1 billion or more – with a combined net worth of $165.1 billion – have ties to the investing conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway.
Warren Buffett purchased Berkshire Hathaway back in 1964 and turned it into the main vehicle for his investing. Over the last 15 years, average annual Berkshire Hathaway returns for Class A shares was roughly 7%. You can compare this to the 4.3% for the S&P 500. In recent years, the company has been buttressed by iconic brand investments including Exxon Mobil and H.J. Heinz.
Two families on the newest Forbes list, the Ueltschis and Alfonds, sold their companies to Berkshire Hathaway. They then had the distinct pleasure of watching their net worth's grow along with Berkshire Hathaway stock. The Booths, another family, cashed out on a real estate related deal that put $1 million worth of profit into stock from Berkshire Hathaway. For all three of these families, it definitely seems likely that they were much better off getting stock instead of cash. Because instead of putting the money into an investment fund or a family business, they had Warren Buffett "managing" their family fortunes for many decades.
Some other Buffett led investments that raised families onto the new Forbes list of the richest families in America include Norfork, Virginia's Batten family. Last year, they sold two newspapers to the media arm at Berkshire Hathaway. The Grahams, based out of Washington DC, were also raised up onto the list. Graham Media Holdings, previously known as the Washington Post Company, previously owned 3000 Berkshire Hathaway shares prior to selling them back in a deal made just last week. (Berkshire Hathaway once owned roughly 23% of the company, but in exchange for that stake, Berkshire now outright owns a subsidiary that includes an ABC affiliate in Miami). The Walmart retail conglomerate owned by the Waltons also has Berkshire Hathaway as an investor. Buffett and company own just under 2% of outstanding Walmart shares.
Here's a brief rundown of how the three most fortunate families to deal with Warren Buffett attained shares in Berkshire Hathaway at the correct time:
The Alfond Family
In 1993, Harold Alfond traded his Dexter Shoe Company for what had amounted to nearly $300 million worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock. Even though Alfond never went to college, he died as a billionaire in 2007. His family is currently worth about $4.2 billion, and this is largely in part due to the incredible rise in value of Berkshire Hathaway stock.
After the acquisition of the shoe company, the Alfond family became the second-largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway stock at the time and owned around 25,000 shares.
The total return on investment was 1275%.
The Booth Family
Warren Buffett and Franklin Otis Booth Jr. met in 1963. They took the $1 million profit from a small Los Angeles real estate deal and poured it into what we know as Berkshire Hathaway. When he died in 2008, the shares were worth more than $2 billion. His 30 descendents are worth a combined $2.9 billion at this time.
When Franklin passed on, six of his children divided up 15,000 shares. They also donated 1500 shares to the charity the Otis Booth Foundation.
The overall return on investment is 277,700%.
The Ueltschi Family
In 1996, Warren Buffett purchased FlightSafety International, an aviation training company. He purchased it for $1.5 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock at the time. Former Pan Am pilot and founder Albert Ueltschi died in 2012. His family continued to hold onto the Berkshire Hathaway shares, and they are now worth an estimated $2.9 billion.
The family currently has an estimated 16,000 shares. The overall return on investment is 93%.

Homemade English Muffins
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.
I'm going to try making these today!
These look awesome… now that i've got the hang of homemade bagels, I REALLY want to try these! Thanks for sharing!
These look fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. We're doing home ground whole wheat flour too, so I'm glad to see it worked well for you. I'm definitely adding these to my list of things to try 🙂
Regarding quantity- it depends how big you make them. I normally get around 20 from the recipe though.
Wow! So easy, I am definitely trying these. I only recently overcame my fear or working with yeast, haha. I am not sure why it scared me all these years. 🙂
To make it easier, you don't have to proof instant yeast, but you do if it's active dry yeast. I've tried both, and love the instant for that very reason.
Don't clobber me, but what if I did the dough in a bread machine? Still work?
Did you mix with a spoon, or with a mixer?
Thanks so much for sharing this! Can't wait to try it!
Thanks for posting! We love English muffins, but rarely feel like spending the money on them. I never even thought of trying to make them. One question: do you use a non-stick pan? It's the only kind I have and I'm a little nervous the cornmeal and no grease might ruin the finish.
Does anyone know if you can mix up the dough the night before and put it in the refrigerator, then form and bake the next morning?
I tried to make these last night, but the dough was SO sticky that it was impossible to roll. I used a mixer with a dough hook attachment to mix the ingredients… should I have mixed by hand? Also where does the butter come into play? Do you melt it and add it when you add the flour, egg, etc?? help! 🙂
Anon- the dough is super sticky after you mix it {butter is mixed in along with everything else} but it becomes a lot more manageable after it rises. I use the dough hook attachment to mix mine too.
Sara- never tried the overnight thing!
Sonya- I use a calphalon pan to cook them in. It's non-stick as well.
Thanks UDD – I'm going to try this again and probably mix for a little bit longer this time.
If I don't have cornmeal, can I use grits?
Hi! I made these today, and they didn't turn out right. They taste good, but they didn't rise at all. The dough did rise during the "rising" period, but once I rolled and cut the dough, it remained the same.
I double and triple checked the recipe- and I got all the ingredients/quantities right.I did do a 1/2 white 1/2 wheat flour mixture. Could that be the cause? Any thoughts? Thanks! 🙂
Chelsea- my first thought was that you killed your yeast, but if the dough rose during the waiting period, that's not the case. Did it rise a lot? Is your yeast old?
After you roll hem out and cut them, they do rise a bit while waiting to be cooked. Not a ton though- they don't puff up like a roll would. They also rise more when they're cooked. I wonder if your heat was too high- they cooked too fast and didn't have the chance to more gradually heat up and rise more? The heat should be very low, as it states in the recipe. I even use the lid to trap the heat/ moisture more so that they rise up more.
Any of this ringing a bell?? I hope so! I'm sorry they didn't turn out well. Maybe try again??

Much as I am flattered by your reference to me as "the high priest" of something, even something called "merde" [Oct. 1], I must put in my two cents' worth of protest. The gentleman quoted, Dean Fitch, may have gone to Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, but he went to it with a pair of tin ears and came out of it with a tin horn to blow. Cat is the most highly, intensely moral work that I have produced, and that is what gives it power. It is an outcry of fury, from start to finish, against those falsities in life that provide a good fertilizer for corruption. What it says, in essence, through the character of Big Daddy, is this: when your time comes to die, do you want to die in a hotbed of lies or on a cold stone of truth?

Good Girl (Gentille) (2005)
Critic Consensus: No consensus yet.
Movie Info
"Fontaine Leglou" (Emmanuelle Devos) is a silly name, and so, perhaps, that is why many silly things keep happening. As Gentille opens, Fountaine is walking down a Paris street, and stops to confront a man whom she suspects is following her. She tells him he looks normal, but she's sorry, she doesn't have time to have coffee with him. When he convincingly protests that he was not following her, she apologizes and asks him to have coffee. Fontaine would seem to have a relatively good life. She works as an anesthetist at a fancy mental hospital, and she's got a live-in Nobel Prize-winning arctic scientist boyfriend, Michel (Bruno Todeschini), who seems to love her. But there's clearly something nagging at her. She walks around in a perpetually distracted state, and frequently mistakes other peoples' identities and their intentions. When Michel proposes to her, she needs some time to digest it before she responds. There's a suave patient -- a doctor himself -- at her job, Philippe (Lambert Wilson), who seems attracted to her, and she clearly feels something in return. Meanwhile, Michel is growing impatient with her indecisiveness. Perhaps a visit from destiny will help her make a choice? Writer/director Sophie Fillières's offbeat romantic comedy, which also features Michael Lonsdale, Bulle Ogier, and Julie-Anne Roth, was shown by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 2006 as part of their annual Rendez-Vous with French Cinema. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

WESTERVILLE, Ohio – A season opening win eluded the Gallaudet University football program for a fifth straight year as the Bison were shut out, 15-0, on the road Saturday against Otterbein University before a crowd of 3,673 at Memorial Stadium.
Gallaudet (0-1) missed early opportunities to get on the scoreboard as the Bison turned the ball over twice, missed a field goal, allowed a safety and made one punt before halftime. The Bison were still in the game as they only trailed 5-0 at intermission.
The triple option offense never got going against Otterbein (1-0) as the Bison only tallied 177 yards on the ground and were limited to 42 yards through the air. GU had two drives that were over 40 yards long and only one drive that lasted more than seven plays.
Freshmen Braxton Baker (Webb City, Mo.) and BJ Flores (Raymondville, Texas) made their collegiate debuts and ran for 55 and 54 yards, respectively, on 15 and 11 carries. Freshman quarterback Todd Bonheyo (Frederick, Md.) completed 4-of-11 passes for 42 yards, intercepted and sacked twice. Senior all-conference wide receiver Ryne Worsham (Chicago, Ill.) was held to one reception for seven yards a year after he caught seven passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns in a thrilling 28-27 overtime loss at home against Otterbein.

Netmark CMO says that marketing agencies with too many strategy secrets have trouble executing on their great ideas.
Idaho Falls, ID (PRWEB) January 12, 2013
Early this week, the chief marketing officer at Netmark (John Broadbent) went on the record about the company's link building strategies. Broadbent noted that many internet marketing agencies regard their link building efforts a tightly guarded company secret. He stated that, "marketing agencies that make their strategies secret, usually do so because they aren't very good at implementing their big ideas."
Broadbent went on to explain the theory of link building at Netmark. Later in the week, he presented the implementation process of the strategies that were discussed. The transparency of these new video series is a bold statement for better client-agency relations in the internet marketing industry.
The two new video series included in the Netmark University were announced late last year. Each week, Netmark strategists cover a single topic in two separate videos – available to the public on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Make Your Mark Monday focuses on the philosophy behind the internet marketing efforts at Netmark. Through theory and strategy, Netmark explains the thought process behind Google, Bing, and other major search engines, when ranking websites. Netmark University also identifies the reasons why internet marketing has evolved over the years, and will teach business professionals how to preempt search engine algorithm updates.
