As many of you may now be aware, the latest issue of Yorkshire Birding (Volume 21, no 4) will be the last to be published. Subscription copies have now been posted out and if you are due to any refund this will be included. There are several reasons why we have taken this decision, including the fact that with spiralling costs (particularly postage) and falling subscriptions we would have been forced into further price increases, pushing the price per issue to what we believe would have been an unrealistic ask, particularly in the current climate. We would like to think that over the past 21 years Yorkshire Birding has filled a niche for Yorkshire birders and are proud of this fact, as, to the best of our knowledge, this has been enjoyed by no other county. We are of course eternally grateful to all those who have supported the magazine in any way either by contributing to the content of the magazine or simply by purchasing a copy. Perhaps the biggest change in birding since Yorkshire Birding was first published has been the arrival of the internet which in turn has meant that much of the material published in the magazine is now available online, and often almost instantly. Perhaps this is the way forward for Yorkshire Birding? Whatever the case, we do feel there is a need for new blood, so if anyone out there fancies a crack at it please do not hesitate to get in touch, as we would be only too pleased to assist in any way possible. In the meantime we will continue to update the Yorkshire Listers League Table on this blog and will also be pleased to publish any photos, drawings, articles, or news snippet's you might wish to contribute too. Please email any contributions or correspondence to firstname.lastname@example.com For now, all that remains to be said is a big thank you to you all and of course, good Yorkshire birding!

Damian Money (2002), John Horton (2003), Darren Starkey (2006 and 2008)

Financial executives at large global organizations are living in interesting times. They are in the midst of transforming financial reporting and planning processes to address the growing demands of external and internal stakeholders for better, more varied and meaningful information and analysis. Corporate management and regulators alike are asking for deeper insights into company operations and financial and strategic risks and opportunities. Business markets and company operations are more complex and changing rapidly. Risks are more acute and far-reaching. The need to know is paramount.
The BPI Network has undertaken this study to examine the growing challenges and requirements of finance executives as they seek to meet demands for improved accuracy and timeliness in delivering much-needed and greatly expanded information to external and internal audiences. We also look at the new platforms and processes that financial organizations need to improve their capacity to deliver.

Chili. Wings. Finger foods. Chips and dip. We've all seen the buffet line at game-day get-togethers. But, according to USA Today, "in 2005, 68 percent of Super Bowl partygoers preferred pizza as their game-day meal."
Here are some Super Bowl facts: "Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest day of food consumption behind Thanksgiving." (American Institute of Food Distribution)
"Sports fans spend more than $50 million on food during the four days of Super Bowl weekend." (Bestlines Sports International)
OK, let's get beyond the pesky, guilt-causing question about how much food for the hungry $50 million could buy if Super Bowl partygoers would just cut back to peanuts, pretzels and potato chips. Those who answer "a lot" would have a point. But it isn't going to happen.
So let's start the study of our gluttony.
A party favorite
Chili. Wings. Finger foods. Chips and dip. We've all seen the buffet line at game-day get-togethers.
But, according to USA Today, "in 2005, 68 percent of Super Bowl partygoers preferred pizza as their game-day meal."
Granted, that fact was sent out to media types by Donatos Pizza. But, if USA Today still thinks it's a fact, who am I to downgrade it to an ad?
The point is that quite a few parties will be going on Sunday. And at each of them, the host's tables and counters will be full of food. I'd say a pound or two for each of us. Later it will linger on us.
So, we must all eat smart. Employ, for example, the Ostrich Principle and eat when no one is looking, when the calories don't count.
"According to research by the Calorie Control Council and the Snack Food Association, Americans will eat 30 million pounds of snacks on the big game day, but they need not be unhealthy."
Please, stop reading this now if healthful food offends you. The company that sent this fact was the maker of chips made out of a "little known grain called Salba," which has "high levels of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber, protein, calcium and iron."
Those are things, the release said, that make Salba "the only food (including grains, vegetables and fruits) that is part of each of the six groups of the USDA Food Guide Pyramid."
This is the sort of fact that could make people turn down invitations to your Super Bowl party if they just catch you just reading a column about the Salba press release. And that release, by the way, went on to talk about cutting up your veggies — bell peppers, celery, carrots and jicama — the night before your party.
It suggested, too, that you keep a cooler next to the TV during the game that is filled with low-calorie canned drinks.
People, come back
These are not my suggestions.
I don't care if Salba offers "three times more iron than spinach" and "15 times more magnesium than broccoli." You only need to replace those things in your diet if you actually are eating them. And I need to be distracted by something more important than the biggest football game of the year to make that mistake.
Besides, I'm going to have a pizza Sunday.
And even if 68 percent of Super Bowl partygoers try to force it down my throat, that pizza isn't going to have jicama as one of its toppings.

Freezing my *** off lol, you?
Hey mooz
Well he was like the only one, so understandable. I was like the young guy, and I was 20.
omg... was it really 8 years ago?
I dunno, Conar7 or whatever was a HS guy, and he was pretty reasonable.
Well I was in college when I first started (and was modding) on PSD...
but I've always been more mature than everyone my age. It's a curse. A terrible, terrible curse.
Still, the attitudes are different, a lot more posters were mature. Lots of kids in middle school now.
I wonder how much of this is hindsight and wisdom. I mean, the old-old guard used to complain about the young'uns from time to time.
I've not paid too much attention, but maybe I'll work to bring that back if I have time. I was just talking with APT the other day about how different this place used to be, there seemed to be a little bit more camaraderie.
I finally got my PhD, and I'm working a real job now!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg discuss Fausnaught Day (that's totally a thing), affiliate management, rebooting movie and television franchises, and Kevin Smith. Also, Pinterest. Again.
We lead off with Fat Tuesday and Fausnaught Day, a tradition that I have been informed is not actually Klingon, but German. It involves decorating doughnuts, which I think we can agree automatically makes it one of the most underrated days of the year. Why am I just learning about this?!
Next, Greg has launched a new contest for merchants. He gave us all the details – he's giving away four months of free affiliate program management as part of a case study. If you are a merchant who is interested in jump starting your stagnant affiliate program, this is right up your alley.
We got into a whole thing about rebooting movie franchises. Do we really need new versions of old movies? We're not so sure. Reboots, re-releases and 3D. Ugh.
Kevin Smith has a new TV show that we talked about in this next segment. Well, sort of. Not all of us have watched it yet. We talked quite a bit about his career though, and Drew actually met the dude. The Death Star conversation that I referenced can be found here on YouTube, and here's the article that Greg found that calculated the cost of building a Death Star.
And next, yet another segment about Pinterest! Greg has coined a new term: Dispinterest. It's what happens when you stop caring about Pinterest. There's been some news lately about Pinterest and Skimlinks, and there's some new code available that allows site owners to block their content from being pinned.
Drew got his hands on a new Playstation Vita, but wasn't too impressed. Listen for his review, and you can read more about it at BenSpark.
Greg's checking out Red Dwarf. You should, too. It's smegging brilliant. The new series is being shot right now. We chatted a bit about Doctor Who as well.
Lastly, I recommended some software for tracking collections of books, movies, comics and more. Great stuff. Available on several platforms.
All this and more – thanks for listening! We'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave us a voice mail at 281-241-QAQN(7276). Also, you can email us at email@example.com.

What is Hobo?
Hobo is a collection of open-source gems/plugins for Ruby on Rails that help you build anything from throwaway prototypes and internal utilities to meticulously crafted full-blown web apps. The goal: write less code. So much less in fact that it starts to feel like you're not implementing your app at all, you're just declaring what you want.
It turns out that the hard part is not going fast, but staying flexible. This is where we think Hobo really shines. If you've played with "app builders" before, you'll know about The Wall. The Wall is the point you reach where you have to give up and do it the old way because that one feature you really need just isn't going to happen. Hobo doesn't have one.

SACRAMENTO -- A week after uncovering a hidden-funds scandal at the state parks department, finance officials are now trying to piece together why the balance sheets for similar "special funds" are off by $2.3 billion -- money that appeared to be right under their noses amid California's financial meltdown.
An analysis by this newspaper of California's little-known 500-plus special funds -- like the ones that included $54 million in parks money shielded from the Department of Finance -- shows tens of millions of dollars in discrepancies in numerous accounts.
The fund that gives restitution to violent crime victims was off by $29 million. The one that provides children with low-cost health insurance was $30 million out of balance. The fund that rewards people for recycling bottles and cans was $113 million off.
"Where are these dollars?" asked state Senate budget chairman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who said it was a "big problem" that the special funds "clearly have not been getting enough attention."
The newspaper's review found at least 17 accounts that appeared to have significantly more reserve cash than what individual departments reported to the finance department, though it's unclear why.
An account that helps build state courts had $27 million more on the controller's ledger than the figure reported to the finance department. A pool of money that helps problem gamblers was off by $7.9 million. Another fund that assists in prison guard training was off by $6.4 million.
The problem could date back decades and is only now coming to light after discrepancies were discovered in the parks funds, costing longtime parks director Ruth Coleman and deputy director Michael Harris their jobs.
The potential error is especially remarkable considering how easy it would have been to catch.
Earlier this year, dozens of state departments told Gov. Jerry Brown's budget aides that they had a combined $8.8 billion left in "rainy day" reserves for their special fund accounts as of a year ago. At the same time, the controller's office tabulated a total of $11.1 billion in cash reserves for the accounts.
But finance officials, operating under a longtime honor system, never checked the controller's total -- and no oversight groups caught the discrepancy, even though the numbers are publicly available on two state websites. As a result, Brown and the Legislature used the smaller $8.8 billion figure when they approved the state's annual spending plan last month.
"That does not necessarily translate into hidden funds," said Department of Finance spokesman H.D. Palmer. "In many cases, there will very likely be legitimate accounting reasons for the difference in those funds."
For instance, a chunk of funding promised in December but delivered in July would be counted in separate years by the controller's office and finance department.
Finance officials are now going through each fund, line by line, to determine how much of the money is truly hidden.
"That ($2.3 billion) number will be inaccurate by the time we are done," Palmer said, adding that the department quickly launched a "thorough and expeditious" statewide review after the parks scandal.
On Wednesday, before the full scope of the balance sheet discrepancy came to light, Brown said the park fund discovery was "good."
"When somebody comes and says, 'Hey, guess what, we have some money over here,' well, that's a lot better than saying, 'Whoops, we don't have any money,' "said Brown, who is campaigning for tax increases in November as the centerpiece of his plan to balance the budget.
The funds in question wouldn't help the general fund budget crisis in most cases because they are earmarked for specific programs.
Still, even the perception of more hidden money won't do any favors for a state government that routinely gets spanked in public opinion polls.
"It's hard to ask people to increase their taxes when they hear about things like this," said state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, a member of the Senate budget committee. "I don't know (how this happened), but it's completely unacceptable."
Anna Carr, deputy director of the Gambling Control Commission, which manages one of the funds with a huge discrepancy, echoed the finance department's warning not to jump to conclusions that the state is about to see an incredible windfall.
"Just because (there is a discrepancy) doesn't mean there is a problem on its face," Carr said. "The (accounting) basis may not be the same."
Still, there were no accounting differences to explain the parks discrepancies, and other funds have managed to perfectly sync the two figures. For instance, accounts that help pay for pesticide regulation, improving trial courts, inland fisheries, and tobacco research all show the same balances on both the finance and controller spreadsheets.
Others are different by only $1,000 or so. Those accounts include funds for children's medical services rebates, air quality improvement and hospital construction.
In a few cases, the opposite is true: The controller shows that the funds have less reserve cash than what the finance department lists in its budget, sometimes by a wide margin.
Most departments in charge of the specific funds didn't return calls requesting a comment, or they referred questions to the finance department, where Palmer declined to discuss specific fund discrepancies until after the department's investigation is finished.
Whose job is it to check for differences in the two funding sheets?
"There is someone: the Department of Finance," said Jacob Roper, spokesman for Controller John Chiang.
Palmer conceded that his department should have been doing that and has vowed to do so going forward. He said Finance Director Ana Matosantos was unavailable for an interview Thursday.
But it's also the individual departments in charge of the special accounts that provide the fund balance figures to finance officials and could easily determine whether their numbers matched the totals posted by the controller.
Assembly members and senators will hold hearings on the issue after they return from their summer recess Aug. 6 to determine why and how this happened.
Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, a budget committee member, said the state needs to ensure "our books are accurate, and restore some semblance of public trust and confidence."
Staff writers Thomas Peele and Steven Harmon contributed to this report.

Implement Proper Hand-Washing Procedures in Your Food Truck
Hand-washing is an important task for all food service employees to ensure you're serving safe food. Harmful bacteria or pathogens are found on almost everything you touch. People can carry them in or on their bodies, and pick them up when handling raw food or touching objects that have been previously contaminated.
After your hands are contaminated, these harmful organisms can very easily spread to the food you serve and cause illness to yourself or, even worse, your customers.
Effective hand-washing helps prevent the spread of harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Be sure you train each of your employees to follow these simple steps:
Wet your hands with warm water.
Apply soap to your hands and lather vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
Pay particular attention to fingernails, fingertips, and in between fingers.
Rinse your hands with warm water.
Water is necessary! Although some hand-care products claim to be effective without washing or rinsing with warm water, hand-washing without water doesn't effectively remove soil, grease, and bacteria/viruses.
Dry your hands with disposable towels or a blow-dryer.
All food service personnel must wash their hands at the following times:
Before starting work
After using the restroom
Before and after handling ice
Prior to and after using single-use gloves
While preparing food, as often as necessary to remove excess soil
When switching between tasks, such as preparing food and serving food
After handling nonfood items such as garbage bags or cleaning chemicals
After touching exposed parts of the body or clothes, other than clean hands
Between handling money and handling food, if not working solely at the register
Hand-washing regulations vary from state to state. Contact your local health department or consult your state's food code for more information.

COLUMBIA - When Jonathan Proffitt, a 28-year-old infantry drill sergeant, first joined the military in 2003, if a woman was present, "we'd just get real cautious."
Nearly a decade later, he said the division's culture is still unique.
"Infantry is its own little world inside the military."
But that world is changing. And even talking about it changing is making people cautious.
On Thursday, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced an end to the ban on women in direct combat. Fifteen percent, or nearly 202,400, of the U.S. military's 1.4 million active personnel are women. And more than 280,000 women have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the last decade.
Many have earned medals, some have been harassed and assaulted, and more than a few have been sidelined due to pregnancy.
Most women entering the Army - 60 percent - are trained at Fort Jackson, a 52,000-acre community in the middle of South Carolina.
"A lot of people are going to be outraged," Proffitt said of the policy change.
"They're kind of messing with something that's worked well since Rome."
But for those women who want to fight, he said, "I understand that everybody wants to do their bit."
Public affairs deputy Patrick Jones wouldn't grant media access to soldiers inside Fort Jackson. He said the fort was waiting for guidance from headquarters, and that people were still figuring out what the change will mean.
For instance, infantry is trained at Fort Benning, Ga. But if women are allowed to enter infantry, will they go straight there or will they come to Fort Jackson?
A more general concern now is how much it will cost to meet increased privacy requirements that come with forming coed units.
Of a dozen soldiers approached Thursday at the Trenholm Plaza shopping center near the fort, no one openly supported integrating women into direct ground combat units. Almost all were hesitant to express their opinions publicly and feared running afoul of higher authorities.
"I can't just say a cookie cutter 'yes' or 'no,'" on lifting the ban, said one soldier in his 40s. But some women may change their minds about combat "when they've seen their first few fatalities," he said.
Inside Pancho's Mexican Restaurant on Friday, about 20 soldiers were finishing their lunch. When approached, one stood up and said they would not be speaking to a reporter.
"It would end up like David Petraeus," offered another, as he exited the restaurant.
The soldier was referring to the general and former CIA director whose career ended in November after his extramarital affair became public. But he probably meant to say "Stanley McChrystal," another general who resigned in 2010 after a Rolling Stone article quoted his aides belittling administration officials.
Either way, the group had its guard up.
One said they'd just gotten an email from a higher-up who warned them "not to talk about any political stuff," in order to avoid controversy.
The manager of Pancho's, however, was happy to discuss the news he and his wife had seen on TV the night before.
"I think ladies can do anything," said Enrique Lopez, who is from central Mexico. He said it was his wife who had mixed feelings about letting women fight. Lopez said the change would set a good example for Mexico, where he said you seldom even see women riding motorcycles or driving 18-wheelers.
A longstanding argument for allowing women to serve in direct combat is that it lets them advance their careers.
"It does give women an opportunity to distinguish themselves in combat, like men are able to do," said Beth Bernstein, a Democrat in he S.C. House whose Columbia district stretches over Fort Jackson. "Women have kind of been in those situations anyway, so the policy change is good."
Ralph Waldrop thinks so. He recalled how scary it was to read emails from his daughter, Leah, when she was serving in Afghanistan four years ago.
"She'd say, 'I feel better today because we have adequate security going into the villages,'" said Waldrop. "That means they didn't before."
At an American Legion lounge in Columbia Friday evening, Waldrop, who served in the U.S. Air Force when the Vietnam War was taking place, knocked down a list of arguments against letting women serve in combat.
For one, he said look at Israel's well-known combat forces, which include women and openly gay soldiers. Also consider female police officers in the U.S., he said, who "will kick your butt."
Waldrop said excuses to keep women out won't stop the march of progress. Still, lifting the ban will take some time.
Military departments must submit plans by May 15 for how to carry it out. Services have until 2016 to state which positions should continue to be off limits to women.
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson's district includes Fort Jackson, and he supports the new policy.
Caroline Delleney, the Republican's spokeswoman, said, "Congressman Wilson plans to review the Department of Defense's plans for implementation and agrees that the brave women in our Armed Forces have earned and deserve the right to serve in combat."

BALTIMORE (AP) The Baltimore Orioles agreed to one-year contracts Friday with catcher Matt Wieters, slugger Chris Davis and left-handed pitchers Brian Matusz and Troy Patton.
The moves enabled the sides to avoid arbitration.
Wieters, who received $500,000 in 2012, earned a raise to $5.5 million. He made the AL All-Star team last season and finished with a .249 batting average while setting career highs with 23 homers, 83 RBIs and 144 games played.
Davis led the Orioles with 33 home runs and 85 RBIs while playing the outfield, first base and designated hitter. His salary jumped from $488,000 to $3.3 million.
Matusz contributed in the bullpen during the 2012 playoffs. In 18 relief appearances during the regular season, the 25-year-old was 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA. He will receive $1.6 million in 2013 after making $1.45 million a year ago.
Patton was 1-0 with a 2.43 ERA in 54 games with Baltimore. His salary will jump to $815,000 from $483,500.
The Orioles also exchanged arbitration figures with All-Star closer Jim Johnson and right-handers Jason Hammel and Darren O'Day.
Johnson requested $7.1 million while Baltimore countered at $5.7 million. Hammel asked for $8.25 million and was offered $5.7 million. O'Day proposed $3.2 million and was offered $1.8 million.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – After getting the go-ahead run in the seventh inning the Beavers of Babson College (17-11) managed to collect the deciding out in the top of the ninth with bases loaded to sneak past baseball (14-10) by the final score of 4-3 Friday afternoon at Govoni Field.
With a Beacon on every base and two outs on the scoreboard, Babson's Rick Gilbody was able to cap off the win, just two innings after Trevor Boyce drove in the go-ahead and game-winning run. Boyce finished the day 2-for-4 with the RBI and a run scored. Gilbody improved to 4-0 on the year after going 2.1 innings and allowing just one hit.
On the day UMass combined for nine hits, while the Beavers combined for eight. However it was the Beacons 11 stranded base runners that proved to be the deciding factor, especially in the final three innings. The Beacons saw multi hits from both Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) and Mike Mattei (Spencer, Mass.).
Consiglio, who has recorded at-least one hit in the last six games, drove in one of the Beacons three runs, with the other RBI going to Wilberto Sanjuro (Boston, Mass.) and Mark McCormack (Shelton, Conn.)
Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) was handed the tough loss after allowing just one run on three hits over the final 5.1 innings. The Agawam native tallied three strikeouts on the day.
In the first, UMass and Babson would score three of the game's seven runs. The Beacons started the afternoon off with an RBI single from Consiglio to take the early lead. Babson responded right back in the bottom of the inning with a pair of runs to jump out to their first lead of the day.
The Beavers then made it a two-run game in the third on a bases-loaded walk. McCormack cut Babson's lead back to one after his RBI fielder's choice which scored Nick Grassetti (Agawam, Mass.).
Sanjuro then tied the score at 3-3 following his sacrifice fly to deep center field, which allowed Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) to score from third base. Unfortunately the tie would only last an inning as the Beavers scored the deciding run in the seventh.
Baseball returns to action tomorrow when they travel to UMass Dartmouth for a noon Little East Conference doubleheader.

I have a linear algebra problem that I need help with.
Basically, I need to get the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of several (sometimes tens of thousands) very large Hermitian matrices (6^n x 6^n, where n>= 3, to be specific). Currently, we are just using MATLAB's eig() function to get them. I am trying to find optimizations for the simulations to cut down on computing time. There are three matrices that we use.
H_constant - generated before the loop. Real and symmetric about the diagonal. Does not change after initial calculation.
H_location - generated during each iteration. Diagonal.
H_final - the addition of H_constant and H_location. Therefore, it is also real and symmetric about the diagonal.
It is H_final that we need the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of. My theory is that we calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of H_constant (which won't change after the initial calculation) once. We use this result with the eigenvalues of H_location (the diagonal), to get the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of H_final1. This would reduce our computation from tens of thousands of eig() calls to 1 eig() call and tens of thousands of very simple operations. I don't remember enough of my linear algebra to prove such a theory.
I hope I was able to explain the problem well enough. I hope someone is able to help me with this problem.
Thank you,

August 27, 2006-New Look, Old Look
Wings likes to dance.
It's only the weight we've placed aboard her which holds her down; probably 4000 lbs of our personal possessions and cruising equipment.
Without that, she gets jittery and nervous, like a mare she wants to prance and leap about.
Once in Sydney, after the big refit, when we had nothing aboard, she felt that way.
We liked it then but we haven't felt that lively feeling on Wings often. In Sydney we soon loaded all of our staff back on board and set sail again. And that's the way it' been for most of the 20 years we've owned this boat; she's been filled up, full, heavy.
She moves but does not dance.
Now it may change. Since we arrived at Raffles Marina we've started to unload the cruising equipment and even some of our personal stuff.
Our New Berth at Raffles
Don't get me wrong. Wings is still filled up. If you go down below it doesn't look any different. But we've taken off a lot of hidden weight. Anchors, chain, sails, life raft, dingy, outboard motor, and a lot more. We've even moved some of our personal belongings to the apartment in Bangkok. For the first time in many years we cannot say that everything we own is aboard that boat.
Full Dock Box
Wings even has a new look:
The windvane is gone; and the solar panels. Soon we'll take off the dodger too.
OK, its an old look. Wings used to look this way, when we first bought her. But after cruising for ten years with the windvane back there she now looks naked to me when I walk to the aft end of the deck.
Why are we doing all this? We are going to race Wings in Singapore; we are not living aboard or cruising. Taking all of this stuff off will make her better for racing.
And we like to dance too.
Judy's Office
So as I write this from Judy's office in Bangkok, I'm thinking of our next trip to Singapore, when we will do some more offloading and when we can do some sailing with the boat in this new trim.
We are settled in Bangkok. Our apartment is now livable. The job situation is fine. I am working for an international company installing banking software here at a Thai Bank. Judy is getting geared up to provid off-site court transcription, working from our apartment.
Bangkok Apartment
We eat Thai food every day, and ride on the back of motorcycles to get around the neighborhood and take taxi's or ride the high speed rail system to go farther. (The latter mode of transportation is the best way because Bangkok traffic jams are horrific; taxis are often completely bogged down.) We've done a little sightseeing, not enough, but we've been busy. We'll send some more reports and photos of Thailand as soon as we start getting out more.
Fred & Judy, Bangkok

Flac - 3 Tracks – 50:09
Chris Watson writes:
"During December 2000 several significant storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia.
Benny remarked to me that he had recorded some of these on the Baltic coast and proposed a collaborative cd project based around our mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea.
We spent the next few years gathering recordings on our respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice. This was focused around our following one particular cyclonic system, which veers over Snipe Point on Lindisfarne to the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth, and finally descends upon Öland and Gotland where Benny listened in with a favourite pair of Sennheiser omnidirectional microphones.�

Late October on the strands of Budle Bay where dense layers of transient alien voices are swamped by a full moon tide creeping across the island's silver causeway.
Now lapping out of the gathering gloom an immersive sea wash is filling then draining away carrying slow currents from here to another place.
There are no reference points in this darkness.
Glimmer dawn in the gaping mouth of a sea cave below Tarbet Gulley where the siren songs of Cromarty, Forth & Tyne ebb and flow with the swell.
Draw in close but hear now a fresh voice from beyond the horizon.
Recorded during the months of October & November from 2000 to 2005 on the North East coast of England and Scotland. Microphones; Sennheiser 2 x MKH 110's binaural pair, MKH 60/30 M&S rig, DPA 2 x 4060's spaced omnis. Recorders; Nagra lV-S, Nagra Pll and Sound Devices 744T. Edited and Mixed in Boston July 2006

Bakkar's marriage is only relevant to the topic in a very small way. He is married the daughter of Bassam El Razaqa , a leading figure in the Salafist calling "Borhami's front" and that he married on the same day Abdel Ghafur fired him from his position as official spokesperson of the party.
Bakkar is not the Prince of Upper Egypt or the King of Egypt last time I checked as the only man I can recall to have his wedding's photos posted in the Front page was King Farouk along with his family pre-1952 !!!!!
Unfortunately this front page will be recorded in the history of Al Akhbar as one of the worst front pages ever !!
This is a state-owned newspaper which means it is funded by the taxpayers' money.
BY the way I do not like what is taking place in Al Akhbar Al Youm press organization , I mean I do not get how Akhbar Al Adab claimed in its issue last week that Karl Marx converted to Islam before his death in a huge insult to the readers and their knowledge !!

Having a Facebook page is about as canonical as having a phone number these days. It's getting to the point where we expect to hear, "Can I have your Facebook URL?" instead of , "Can I have your number?"
But Michelle Obama says that Facebook is unnecessary, not only for her children, but for young kids in general.
NBC's Matt Lauer asked Michelle Obama in an interview this morning whether her daughters have Facebook. Her response? A sonorous, drawn-out "no." And it's not just because their father is the president.
"I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook," she said. "It's not something they need… It's not necessary."
The first lady may be on to something. According to a University of Haifa study, adolescent girls who spend more time on the social networking site are more likely to develop eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.
That's an alarming correlation, considering comScore's report that last year Internet users spent one minute on Facebook for every eight minutes they were online. And with teenagers spending more than 30 hours a week online, it's clear that adolescent girls are thoroughly exposed to the Web site.
There's no denying Facebook is useful: The site makes sharing photos and organizing events easy, allows old friends to reconnect and, honestly, has saved me from countless forgotten birthdays.
But as Michelle Obama points out, we need to learn where to draw the line — both for ourselves and for our kids.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Elected officials will be forced to disclose more information about their financial interests under legislation introduced Thursday that Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said is needed to help restore faith among Illinois residents who've seen their last two governors sent to prison for corruption.
Simon and state Sen. Dan Kotowski, D-Park Ridge, said their proposal would overhaul a 40-year-old financial disclosure system that critics long have scoffed at as meaningless. They say it would allow more scrutiny of whether conflicts of interest exist, in part by requiring politicians to fill out more specific forms about their assets and finances.
Simon also said the changes would show residents that most politicians are in their jobs for public service, not "to line their pockets."
"It's better for those who file it, and it's better for those who use it as a source of information," she said during a Thursday press conference.
Kotowski, the bill's sponsor, said he is optimistic the legislation will pass because Illinois residents want ethics reforms. But he acknowledged the proposal may meet resistance from some lawmakers, and it will be competing with other matters in the busy final days of the legislative session, which ends Jan. 9.
Thousands of elected officials, high-ranking government employees and candidates are required to file financial disclosure forms each year. The forms officially are known as a statement of economic interest. But they often are referred to as "none sheets" because people typically answer the eight questions about conflicts with "none" or "not applicable."
According to Simon's office, that was the answer on 75 percent of questions on state forms and 85 percent of forms in Cook County.
The proposal introduced Thursday would create a new form that for the first time would ask about outside employment and relationships with lobbyists. It would also require disclosure of any so-called "sweetheart" loans or loans received under terms not available to other members of the public.
Simon and Kotowski said the new forms also would be easier to understand and include definitions of key terms, making it more difficult for people to say they inaccurately filled it out because the form was vague. The new form also would ask about any assets of $10,000 or more, or outside income of $2,500 or more - questions that aren't on the current document.
The lieutenant governor's office pointed to several examples of officials accused of ethics lapses who were not required to disclose information that may have raised a red flag, but who would be required to do so if the bill becomes law.
They included former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell, who earlier this month admitted embezzling more than $50 million from the town to fund her own lavish lifestyle and a nationally known horse-breeding operation. In her most recent financial disclosure, filled out three months before she was arrested by federal agents, Crundwell answered "none" to all eight questions.
Simon's office believes that under its new form, Crundwell would have been required to disclose assets and the horse-breeding operation.
Previous attempts to change the disclosure system have been unsuccessful. Simon said she believes those efforts failed because they went too far. She said the latest effort does a better job of balancing transparency with privacy. For example, it doesn't ask about whether a person has credit card debt or how much it is.
The penalty for not submitting a form or knowingly filling it out inaccurately includes fines or imprisonment, though Simon said she is not aware of anyone who's been prosecuted.
The bill is SB3941.

"The price is wrong, Bitch!" A contestant on the The Price is Right is suing the show, claiming that the 2004 Pontiac GTO she received was a lemon (hopefully, she read our overview of Lemon Laws.) After paying taxes and license fees for her prize she was told the car on the stage had mechanical problems and she would have to wait for it. When the car was delivered it was a different car and had more miles on the odometer than the Goat she was promised. And then it gets worse.
A few months later she took the car to a local shop for service and was told the car had major damage to the frame that had been concealed by the company that supplied the car. Oops. While this is probably the fault of the dealership that provided the car and not the Barker Beauties, someone better step up to correct this problem lest we shake the foundations of yet another American institution.
