DoCoMo's iPhone Offer Triggers Price War in Japan
NTT DoCoMo Inc.'s decision to carry the iPhone has sparked a price war in Japan as the country's biggest mobile carrier sets out to grab back customers from rival networks.
DoCoMo and its two main rivals SoftBank Corp. and KDDI Corp. are offering steep discounts, effectively giving away the 16GB iPhone 5S for free with a two-year contract. DoCoMo is also offering a discount for subscribers switching from rivals, providing extra points that can be used for products or repairs.
The discounts follow price cuts offered by Wal-Mart Stores and T-Mobile US in the U.S.
The aggressive pricing for the new high-end iPhone, which Apple has said will sell for $199 with a two-year contract with a carrier, shows Japanese carriers are willing to heap additional subsidies onto Apple's latest handset to lure new customers to their networks. It remains to be seen whether such pricing will hurt Apple's brand in Japan, but it should boost iPhone sales.
SoftBank, Japan's No.3 mobile carrier by subscribers, launched the first serious mobile phone price war in 2007 right after it entered the market with its purchase of Vodafone Japan. The company is expected to unleash more discounts if it loses its lead in net subscriber gains.
The three are also offering discounts on the 16 GB iPhone 5C that would make the phone effectively free at KDDI. DoCoMo and SoftBank are going a step further. DoCoMo would effectively pay users Y6,300 ($63) to use the phone over two years, while SoftBank would pay iPhone 5C users Y10,000 ($100) for sticking with their network for two years.
The last holdout on the iPhone in Japan, DoCoMo has lost many customers to its iPhone-carrying rivals in the last five years. A last ditch attempt to stem defections by concentrating DoCoMo's marketing might behind Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S4 and Sony's Xperia A resulted in only modest results. While it had more subscribers than defectors for the second straight month in August, 145,000 customers still switched over to SoftBank and KDDI.
As recently as July, DoCoMo President Kaoru Kato was playing coy, saying the company was in no hurry to carry the iPhone. Apple needed DoCoMo -- which commands 60 million high-spending subscribers -- and for DoCoMo, Apple's refusal to let DoCoMo put its logo on the device and preinstall its apps was a dealbreaker, he and other executives have said.
The details of the concessions made by the two sides aren't clear. Kato's predecessor said that Apple demanded its phones make up half of all phone sales, while Mr. Kato said he had a quota of around 20% to 30% in mind. The two sides agreed on a quota somewhere in between, a person with knowledge of the matter said. The Nikkei reported that DoCoMo agreed to make iPhone sales 40% of all phone sales.
"I keep thinking the iPhone's popularity has peaked... But the Japanese love the iPhone. Maybe more than Americans," Mr. Kato said in July.

Description - When working with a remote file system (through gvfs & mac mounted drives), sublime text 2 fails to refresh after a change to the directory has been made. It would seem that it simply is not refreshing the directory after one of these operations. Project -> Refresh Folders does not do anything.
Applies to:
Renaming Files
Removing Files
Creating Files
Renaming Folders
Creating Folders
Removing Folders
The folder does eventually update on its own, some 5 minutes later.
Up..This post is quite old but I am experiencing the same issue.Have you found any way to solve this?Or is there any way to change the "auto-refresh" delay?
Thank you in advance
I can confirm this bug is still present on Sublime Text 3 + Ubuntu + sftp (via gvfs).
Directory refreshes and listings are horribly slow and intermittent. This renders browsing remote file system and using the GoTo Anything useless.
Any known workarounds?
work on remote file systems are slow and not friendly for developer. i advise you to sync with remote file systems, through ssh + rsync (better) or simple rsync. you can use lsyncd or my plugin https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/liversync-for-sublime/11154/1 to live sync with remote server. if ftp is needed, may be i can add ftp sync option, not rsync + ssh
I took a quick look at some of the settings in that plugin. They do set change it (take a look at Markdown.sublime-settings). Anyways, setting in your user settings should override what they have. I'm not sure why they decided to roll their own coloring file, but that's besides the point. Anyways, glad things got fixed for you.
I believe Sublime Text is using inotify for watching files and folders on Linux, with equivalents on other platforms. I'm pretty sure inotify won't work with a remote system like FTP. With FTP/SFTP you have to actually list the contents of each folder and look at file timestamps to see if they have changed.
I don't know if it's the very same problem but my problem is that when i modify a file (on my NAS) it changes the file in Sublime Text but if i delete all in the file and save it, the future modifications of the file are not shown anymore.
Thanks in advance.

Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you
LONDON - Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you:
New Zealand's hopes of qualifying for the final of the women's quadruple sculls at the Olympic rowing regatta were dashed when the oar of one of its crew broke with around 400 meters remaining in the repechage race.
The Kiwis were third at the time - with four boats going through - when Fiona Bourke was left stranded on Dorney Lake. They finished last, 30 seconds behind winner Australia.
Bourke looked distraught as her boat crawled past the finishing line.
New Zealand was bronze medalist at last year's world championship.

Andy Roddick's tennis match against Slovakia's Martin Klizan was postponed due to rain on Sunday. It may just be prolonging the inevitable.
Roddick and Klizan are scheduled to play on Monday, with the winner getting a date against Novak Djokovic in the next round. Djokovic overcame a 3 1/2-hour rain delay on Sunday to defeat Fabio Fognini of Italy.
It was the Serbian's first match since falling to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals.
The Olympics are played at Wimbledon as well, which keeps the players away from the hustle and bustle of the athletes' village in London.
"It's really an honor and a privilege to be part of the Olympic Games," Djokovic says, "although we would wish to be part of the Olympic Village and feel that atmosphere beside the best athletes in the world."

Frankie Fredericks has served as chairman of the athlete's commission leading up to the London games. The man who ended Michael Johnson's 21-race winning streak in the 200 meters with a win at the Bislett Games in Norway in 1996 is preparing to give way to German fencer Claudia Bokel.
"It's been a very emotional journey for me," Fredericks says. "I've seen this baby grow over the last seven years and to see what we have today is special."

Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor are having to work the night shift in pursuit of a third gold medal. The reigning Olympic champions in beach volleyball hit the sand at Horse Guards Parade at 11 p.m. Monday night to face the Czech team of Kristyna Kolocova and Marketa Slukova.
It's the second straight match to open the Olympics that Walsh and Treanor have played at 11 p.m. It's forced an adjustment in the body clock for Walsh Jennings, who is used to getting up at the crack of dawn with her two children.
"I was worried," Walsh Jennings said after winning her opener against Australia. "At home, it hits 11 and I'm a zombie. But we could play at 4 in the morning, we don't care."

There were few signs of commuting trouble early Monday in Olympic-saturated London, with rail lines operating properly and some highways having lighter traffic than expected. There were some tie-ups, but those are expected on a Monday rush hour. People attending Olympic events mingled easily with commuters on the Overground line to Stratford, though seats filled up more quickly than usual.
- Gregory Katz - Twitter http://twitter.com/Gregory-P-Katz
It was more Usain Bolt then Haile Gebrselassie.
Predicted commuting chaos as London attempted to juggle a regular business day and the strain of hosting the Olympics didn't materialize early Monday morning - at least not along the capital's cycle lanes.
A regular ride from north London to the Houses of Parliament - a small spike from the Olympic beach volleyball courts - took a zippy 20 minutes, almost 5 minutes less than during a usual Monday morning.
While a major route that links London to the country's M1 highway had typically thick traffic, many other roads appeared far quieter, with schools closed for summer holidays and many businesses advising staff to work from home.
Along a cycle path in Hyde Park, bicycle commuters negotiated new obstacles - barriers and bright pink banners put in place for Olympic visitors, but raced along several roads in central London which have been temporarily cleared of car traffic.

London's transport officials are warning commuters to brace for potential delays on roads and the subway on the first working day of the Olympics.
London's commuters could face an Olympic task of their own Monday.
They'll be competing with spectators and tourists to get around town during rush-hour.
Sporting events will take place in venues across London, from the Olympic Park in the east to Wimbledon and Wembley Stadium in the west.
Transport for London, which runs the capital's public transport network, warned commuters to avoid multiple key subway lines and urged them to leave extra time for their journeys.
The first Olympic Games held in London, in 1908, was noted for partisanship and acrimony, starting at the opening ceremony. A stadium was decorated with flags of the participating nations, but the United States flag was missing. "The pat British explanation was that they could not find one," according to "Pursuit of Excellence, The Olympic Story." The U.S. delegation was well supplied with flags, however, and during a parade of athletes the Americans refused to dip their flag as they marched past King Edward VII, starting a U.S. tradition. American discus thrower Martin Sheridan said: "this flag dips to no earthly king."

Score one for the online critics.
NBC's executive producer of the games, Jim Bell, answered one tweeter who described herself as a St. Louis mom and complained about NBC's "Nightly News" on Saturday airing results of events that hadn't been shown on the network yet. Bell tweeted that he'd look into it, and shortly after told her that "Nightly News" would announce a "spoiler alert" to tell people to avert their eyes if they didn't want to see results.

The U.S. men's gymnastics team is looking to win its first team gold since 1984 when it hits the mat Monday morning.
Danell Leyva will anchor the Americans in the event, which begins at 11:30 a.m. local time.
Leyva will compete in four of the six events and serve as the last man up for the U.S. on the high bar, the team's final event.
The U.S. topped qualifying Saturday, but scores are reset in the finals.
National champion John Orozco will do everything but the floor exercise for the U.S., while Sam Mikulak will compete on the floor, still rings, pommel horse and parallel bars.
Jake Dalton will perform on the rings, vault and floor, with two-time Olympic medalist Jonathan Horton working on the rings and high bar.
"It's magical, simply magical," said rising swim star Yannick Agnel, after surpassing the U.S. team to win a gold medal for France in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay. "We didn't have too much pressure. We did what we know how to do. Now, Olympic champions. It's brilliant."

NBC's executive producer of the games, Jim Bell, has taken to Twitter to answer critics.
James Poniewozik, Time magazine TV critic, tweeted that "NBC tape delay coverage is like the airlines: its interest is in giving you the least satisfactory service you will still come back for."
That drew a quick response from NBC's Bell: "You do know that all sports events are being streamed live right?"
"I do, indeed!" replied Poniewozik. "Have enjoyed it. Apparently a lot of folks still prefer watching it on TV."

The expression on this horse's face is priceless.
The horse's name is Sofarsogood, ridden by Malin Petersen of Sweden. AP photographer David Goldman captured this image Sunday as they exited the ring after competing in the equestrian eventing dressage phase. In dressage, horse and rider walk, trot and canter to a standard test without jumps that are designed to test the animal's obedience.

London police lost a set of keys last week to Wembley Stadium, an Olympic soccer venue in west London, Scotland Yard said. But officials say security wasn't compromised.
Although the keys haven't been found, there was no evidence of criminal offenses, the force said. They believe police probably misplaced the keys.
Organizers of the London Olympics stressed that relevant locks have been changed and there was no security breach. Police declined to provide more details about what the keys were for.
The 2012 games may be known as the first iPhone games, but the last time the Olympics were held in London also marked a technological milestone. In the 1948 London games, more than half a million Brits watched the events on the 80,000 television receivers then in operation, the first time that medium had been part of the reporting of the games. Most coverage in North America was still through radio and newspaper, as there were no comparable television networks.

There's cheering and then, well, there's cheering.
A female fan of the Venezuelan boxing team isn't shy about urging her fighters on in the ring. From her balcony seat she shouts words of encouragement in Spanish in a loud, singsong voice that pierces through the arena.
On Sunday the crowd watching Gabriel Maestre Perez of Venezuela defeat Iran's Amin Ghasemi Pour enjoyed her more than the bout. They cheered her when she yelled, then started responding with a collective cheer every time she shouted.
When Maestre Perez won, many of the fans turned and clapped for her instead of him. She was finally silent at the moment, doing just the sign of the cross in relief.

Did you see those argyle pants Norway's curling team wore for the winter Olympics and think, "I wish they made something like that for the beach?"
Neither did I.
But American beach volleyball players Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser did.
The defending gold medalists took to the sand for the first time on Sunday night wearing a funky red, white and blue boardshort designed by Loudmouth, the same company that made the much-discussed pants the Norwegian curlers wore in the Vancouver Games. They narrowed it down from eight choices to three they'll wear in London.
Rogers told the AP's Janie McCauley this spring that he doesn't care what the clothes look like as long as they fit well so they don't distract him while he's playing.
"I don't think anyone's ever worn anything like this at the Summer Games," he said after beating Japan in their opener on Sunday night. "It's different. It's fun. Beach volleyball is a fun game, so I think they go hand in hand."
So, two more swimming world records were broken on Sunday and Spain's highly favored football team tumbled out of medal contention after losing to Honduras.
American Dana Vollmer won the 100 butterfly in a world record and was followed by Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa, who set a world mark to win the 100-meter breaststroke.
The biggest surprise of the day came from France's 4x100-meter freestyle relay team, which upset the favored United States and Australia.

After a nod to Liège-Bastogne-Liège yesterday, Tour organisers ASO pay homage to another race in their portfolio by taking the field over several of the cobbled sections from Paris-Roubaix.
There are 13.2km of pavé hell for the riders to deal with in seven separate sections. The last four are in France and particularly nasty, the final one just 10km from the finish.
It's been six years since the Tour last encountered the cobbles. Back in 2004 the hopes of principal Spanish contender Iban Mayo were blown away in the dust. The sylph-like Alberto Contador will be hoping he doesn't suffer the same fate. The finish is at the entrance to Roubaix's infamous Arenberg Forest.

Stevenson stars in Hearts win
Ryan Stevenson scored twice as Hearts climbed to sixth in the
SPL with a 2-1 win over Dundee United at Tynecastle.
In a match where Rudi Skacel was supposed to be the central
protagonist on his Tynecastle return, Stevenson put Hearts in front
after 15 minutes and added a second from the penalty spot after 31
Keith Watson pulled a goal back after 57 minutes but United
could not find a second as Hearts climbed above their opponents
with victory in their final home match of a tumultuous calendar
The most popular man on the pitch was, curiously, a visiting
player as Skacel started for an unchanged United.
The Czech international's final appearance of his second spell
at Hearts was the 5-1 Scottish Cup final defeat of Hibernian on May
19 and he selected squad number 51 at United, while he was the
subject of an ovation from the home faithful in the 51st
It was the second time Skacel had faced Hearts this term since
moving to United. He was withdrawn from the Scottish Communities
League Cup quarter-final penalty shootout by United boss Peter
From the first corner, Skacel tackled Stevenson and cleared, his
opponent going to ground in search of a penalty, with appeals
Moments later Stevenson scored, benefiting from John Sutton
occupying the attentions of two defenders and Brian McLean's
failure to clear a ball from deep. The ball broke for Stevenson,
who simply sidefooted in.
Jamie MacDonald made an instinctive save when Jon Daly met Barry
Douglas' free-kick from the left and McLean's torrid afternoon
continued as he could only hit the post with the follow up from two
yards out.
Dylan McGowan won a penalty when he was bundled over by Willo
Flood trying to meet brother Ryan's long throw. Stevenson took the
resulting spot-kick and sent Cierzniak the wrong way to score.
McLean headed over from a Flood cross as United resumed on the
attack and Hearts were repelling an aerial bombardment when there
was the bizarre spectacle of a Tynecastle chorus of "Rudi" complete
with the 'we-are-not-worthy' bowing gesture.
Skacel acknowledged with a clap of his hands during a break in
play before having a role as United replied. A Douglas free-kick
was only half-cleared, Skacel sliced a shot into the ground and
Watson turned to fire into the top corner beyond MacDonald.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Russell had a chance to
equalise when the ball evaded Marius Zaliukas, but he could only
fire over as Hearts finished victorious.

Here's some more information about the two-term governor from New Mexico whom I will be interviewing tonight at 6:00 PM Central / 5:00 PM Mountain Time. You will be able to listen to the show live or listen to the recording of it afterward here.
...is Gary Johnson.
Talk is cheap. Every politician says what most Americans want to hear, that he/she is going to spend responsibly, fight corruption, keep America out of open-ended wars, rise above partisanship, and choose principle over party. Even Bush and Obama said they'd do all those things.
One of the things that sticks out the most about Congressman Ron Paul is that he is one of the very, very precious few politicians whose record matches his words. While we may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of Ron Paul's impact on American politics, at 74 his chance at our nation's highest elected office may have passed (he'll be 76 at the time of the 2012 election).
Enter libertarian Republican Gary Johnson, the two-term Governor of New Mexico who wowed the audience during his endorsement of Ron Paul at Dr. Paul's Rally for the Republic. At a youthful 56 and with an impressive number of triathlons and other feats under his belt (he summited Mount Everest in 2003), he has the vigor, health, and longevity that we need in a president. And unlike our current president, Johnson doesn't even smoke.Read the rest of my article here at the Daily Paul.

On June 24, one day before his client was bought out, Ilya Bryzgalov's agent bragged in an e-mail to the Daily News that he had "half a dozen" NHL general managers saying they would "have (Bryzgalov) on their team anytime."
More than a month later, Bryzgalov has not yet found a home for next season.
Last week, Bryzgalov was left off Russia's Sochi Olympic evaluation roster, even though he played for his country at the World Championships in May. Sergei Bobrovsky and 38-year-old Evgeni Nabokov were invited.
Meanwhile, there has nary been a whisper about any offer for Bryzgalov – let alone in the NHL. On Friday, word of Bryzgalov's first official offer from Russia's KHL finally surfaced – though it appears to be a much less than desirable one.
Former NHL star Alexander Mogilny confirmed to Sport-Express that he has made an offer to Bryzgalov. Mogilny is president of new expansion franchise Vladivostok Admirals, which will begin play in the KHL this season.
There are two potential problems: (1) Mogilny firmly acknowledges that his club may not be able to pay Bryzgalov's required rate and (2) Vladivostok is in the middle of nowhere.
Vladivostok is now home to the KHL's eastern-most club. The city of 592,000 people, while home to the Russian pacific fleet, is situated on the border between North Korea and China.
Hey, Bryzgalov said earlier this offseason he saw "logic" in Joseph Stalin. Perhaps he will enjoy being close to communism is North Korea.
Vladivostok is approximately a 15-hour flight from Vladivostok to Prague, home of the KHL's western-most team, where the team must travel at least once during the season. It is a 9-hour flight from Vladivostok to Moscow, where the bulk of the league is located, and upwards of four time zones away from division rivals like Ufa.
Plus, the Admirals are likely to struggle on the ice, having culled players from various teams in an expansion draft.
"About Bryzgalov, I can only say good words," Mogilny said in a rough translation. "A great goalkeeper. You do not have to hang all the dogs on him for the defeat at the World Championships."
When asked why he would be interested in Bryzgalov, since his stop in Philadelphia was characterized as "abysmal" by a reporter, Mogilny responded by saying: "Who told you that?"
"Do you know how many games last season he won and lost?" Mogilny asked. "His contract was bought out, so it's the financial policy of the American team. Bryzgalov is now without a club, and I am pleased to have invited him to the Admirals. However, we are not a rich club, so I do not know whether he will accept our terms and conditions."
The Flyers are paying Bryzgalov $1.6 million for each of the next 14 years, so money should not be much of an issue.
Bryzgalov opened his goaltending school for 12 elite young prospects on Friday, the third year he's conducted such a camp. His first session of the summer is in Yaroslavl, with children from the local "Lokomotiv" club, from the same franchise which tragically lost 45 team members when their plane crashed on Sept. 7, 2011. Former Flyers defenseman Brad McCrimmon, coach of the Lokomotiv team, lost his life in the crash.
In addition to on-ice and video work, Bryzgalov will "reveal secrets for correct mental preparation" and "explain the nuances of communication with the media," according to Championat.
No, we weren't making that last part up.
Bryzgalov will move his camp to Chelyabinsk from July 30 to Aug. 1. Perhaps, by then, other offers will come in for him to find a place to play next season. The KHL season begins in early September.
And Vladivostok is a far cry away from the "half a dozen" NHL teams that supposedly had interest in that e-mail from Bryzgalov's agent, Ritch Winter, to the Daily News.

G9425, New March 2011
Wildlife are valuable natural resources and important components of a healthy ecosystem. They also provide many economic, recreational and aesthetic benefits. However, given the wrong set of circumstances, almost any species of wildlife can become a nuisance. Figures 1 to 5 are examples of potential conflicts and damage. This guide provides basic information on how to prevent and solve wildlife damage problems and includes a list of technical and educational resources.
Figure 1. Beavers can damage or kill trees and cause problems when their dams flood timber and bottomland crop fields.
Figure 2. Feral hogs can damage a pasture or field by their rooting activity.
Figure 3. Pigeon droppings can be a health hazard.
Figure 4. Moles can can be a nuisance and cause damage to lawns and turf grasses by their tunneling activity and pushing up soil into mole hills.
Figure 5. Small rodents, such as the prairie vole, can damage trees, fruits, vegetables and row crops by their feeding and tunneling activity.
Many people enjoy the benefits of wildlife, but conflicts between people and animals may occur under certain conditions. Some conflicts may be relatively minor inconveniences and are to be expected. At times, wildlife may simply be a nuisance, such as a few geese in a park, or cause minor damage that is easily tolerated, such as one or two moles in a lawn.
Other conflicts may be more serious and require action. Examples include the following:
These problems can be caused by a variety of wildlife species. Predators such as coyotes may prey on sheep, calves or even pets. Rodents such as Norway rats, house mice and prairie voles can cause serious economic problems in urban areas, crops and gardens, as well as be a nuisance around the home. Flocks of birds near airports may collide with aircraft. Damage caused by beavers and muskrats may weaken levees or plug drainages. Deer can eat crops and damage landscape plantings. Birds such as starlings, blackbirds and house sparrows may be a nuisance and cause economic loss on a farm.
The presence of wildlife around your home or on your property is typically beneficial, but potential problems are caused when wildlife conflict with your goals and objectives. Landowners and homeowners need to be both tolerant of some damage caused by nuisance wildlife and proactive in taking appropriate action to prevent wildlife damage problems. A variety of scientifically valid techniques can be used to solve and control damage caused by wildlife, and technical assistance from professional wildlife damage biologists is also available. Preventing and controlling damage caused by wildlife can be costly, so consider the costs and benefits before initiating a wildlife damage management program. In most cases, an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, which involves using multiple pest-management techniques, provides the most cost-effective method for solving wildlife damage problems.
Successful wildlife damage management, regardless of the species involved, depends on the four basic components described below.
Selection of an appropriate damage management strategy depends on proper identification of the species causing the problem. Before you can solve a wildlife damage problem, you must identify the species causing the problem; estimate the number of animals present; assess the extent of the damage, including the amount of loss or the nature of the conflict; and evaluate biological and social factors related to the problem.
Understanding the life history of the nuisance species can help you determine the best approach for resolving the problem. The biology and ecology of a species include what it eats, habitats it prefers and behaviors it exhibits, especially in relation to the type of damage observed.
Once you have identified the species and learned about its biology and ecology, you can develop an appropriate damage management program. An IPM strategy is often the best way to deal with wildlife damage problems. In an IPM strategy, several control methods are combined and coordinated with other management practices and used at the same time. Often, IPM includes a combination of both short- and long-term approaches that result in a reduction of wildlife damage.
Periodically evaluate the management program. Assess the reduction of damage in relation to the cost of the program and the impact on the targeted species.
Prevention and control methods or techniques used to reduce wildlife damage can be broken down into the following 10 categories:
The effectiveness of each control method depends on the biology of the species, timing, and skill of application. Some techniques that are effective for one species may be totally ineffective for other species. Also, some techniques may not be legal for control of certain wildlife. Before attempting any control method, check federal and state regulations and local ordinances that govern the use of various control methods.
In many cases, the most economical and effective way to reduce damage may be to exclude wildlife from an area. Exclusion can be accomplished by creating physical barriers around critical areas that need to be protected. Barriers may include permanent woven-wire or electric fences, netting, hardware cloth or expanding foam over openings in structures, flashing around trees and other obstructions.
Wildlife require sufficient habitat that includes food, cover, water and space to survive. Modifying a habitat to limit any or all of these components in an area can discourage wildlife nuisances.
Of these habitat components, food is the most common attractant for nuisance wildlife. In many cases, simply removing food sources discourages nuisance species from visiting an area. This habitat modification might be as simple as removing dog or cat food bowls at night to prevent raccoons from visiting. In addition, cleaning up brush piles, high grass and woodpiles to eliminate rodent habitat may decrease the number of snakes that are attracted to rodents as a food source.
Modification or elimination of cover is probably the second most important aspect in deterring or eliminating nuisance wildlife problems. Cover is a critical component of wildlife habitat that provides a variety of functions such as protection against weather and predators, as well as providing a secure place to raise young. Eliminating cover prevents many species from establishing themselves in an area. The following list describes common cover for some nuisance wildlife:
Habitat modification that makes an area less desirable for problem wildlife should be a component of IPM aimed at reducing nuisance wildlife problems.
Frightening may work as a short-term solution for controlling some nuisance wildlife problems. These techniques involve the use of an unusual disturbance or distraction either by sight, sound or smell. Understanding the species' biology, predator interactions and avoidance behavior is necessary when selecting and applying a frightening technique. Success of a frightening device depends largely on the species involved, how the technique is applied and timing. The following list provides examples of frightening devices and techniques:
The Wildlife Services program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) loans some frightening devices, such as propane cannnons, to manage wildlife damage.
Repellents can be useful in reducing wildlife damage in some cases, especially when combined with other damage reduction techniques. Two types of repellents can be used for wildlife:
Repellents deter animals by taste, smell or touch. Several companies manufacture commercial repellents for a variety of wildlife species. However, no repellent will completely eliminate wildlife damage. Most repellents are best suited for small areas, gardens and ornamental plantings. Commercial application of repellents over large areas can be costly and have varying results, making them impractical for large-scale farm and row crop use.
Many home remedies have been used to repel wildlife, however, with varied and limited success. Examples include use of blood meal, cat feces, human hair, creosote, bottled ammonia, urine and rotten eggs. These techniques have not been scientifically proven and may not deter or solve the problem.
Most repellents have limited success and must be used as part of an IPM strategy.
Except for rats and mice, toxicants (poisons) are not legal for controlling most nuisance wildlife species. Toxicants must be registered with the EPA and state regulatory agencies. Under certain circumstances, registered toxicants may be used by a licensed professional or government agency personnel such as USDA APHIS Wildlife Services. Be sure to follow all label restrictions and recommendations when using a toxicant in a wildlife damage management program.
Fumigants are poisonous gases that are most often used to control wildlife species that live in underground burrows. Several commercial fumigants are registered for certain species, such as groundhogs; these must be used according to label instructions and with caution.
Trapping is an effective tool to remove nuisance animals from an area. According to the Wildlife Code of Missouri, property owners may trap nuisance wildlife anytime during the year or may use furbearer trappers who may trap during the established furbearer season.
Traps are classified according to design and function and can be either lethal or nonlethal. Examples of nonlethal traps include live box traps or cage traps (wire, sheet metal or wood) and foothold traps. Examples of lethal traps, which kill the animal, include body-gripping traps for beavers or muskrats; snap-traps for mice, rats and voles; and harpoon and scissor traps for moles.
Traps can be purchased from commercial sources, built at home or borrowed from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) or USDA APHIS Wildlife Services. State trapping regulations dictate which types of traps are allowed for many wildlife species, such as furbearers. In addition, some traps may not be appropriate or effective for certain wildlife. Knowledge of traps and trapping, as well as wildlife behavior, is an important component of a successful trapping program. Landowners and homeowners should contact the MDC before initiating a trapping program to remove nuisance wildlife.
Removing nuisance wildlife using a firearm or archery equipment can be an effective method of controlling their numbers and damage. As part of IPM, encouraging hunters to harvest adequate numbers of nuisance wildlife during legal hunting seasons may help reduce damage.
Hunting can be an effective approach for reducing deer depredation problems. Professional wildlife biologists can provide assistance for determining harvest strategies and recommended numbers of deer to remove. Adequate harvest of deer not only benefits the landowner by keeping potential damage to high-value crops at a minimum but also keeps the deer herd in balance with available habitat.
Deer damage depredation permits are available from the MDC for landowners with documented wildlife damage. These permits are issued by local conservation agents and allow landowners to shoot a specified number of depredating deer out of season. These permits should be used only after other damage prevention and control methods have been attempted.
Other control options to reduce wildlife damage should be tried before shooting is initiated. Before choosing shooting as an option, contact the MDC and check local government ordinances, particularly if you are near an urban area, as most cities have ordinances against shooting.
In some cases, nontraditional methods of controlling wildlife damage can be effective. Most of these methods evolved from trial and error of homemade approaches and remedies to solving wildlife problems. Other nontraditional techniques have become commercial and are on the market promising fast and effective results. However, some of these products provide mixed results and have not been scientifically proven to be effective.
Other home remedies, because of limited success in special circumstances, have gained a wide following as an effective approach to reducing wildlife damage. Be sure to get professional advice before using any of these materials to solve a wildlife damage problem.
In many cases, thoughtful planning, landscaping or building design can prevent wildlife damage problems. Before building a house or commercial building, planting a garden or agricultural field, or creating an environment to attract desirable wildlife species for viewing and enjoyment, consider the potential for attracting wildlife species that might become a nuisance.
Identify wildlife in the area that are known to cause problems or have the potential to cause problems under certain conditions. Visit with neighbors, conservation agents, private pest or wildlife control operators and local wildlife enthusiasts about the potential for various species becoming a nuisance in your area.
Review plans and eliminate features that would attract nuisance wildlife. Examine your proposed land-use plans, landscaping layout or building design for their potential to provide any of the important habitat components — food, water, cover, space — that would attract nuisance wildlife in your area.
Consult a wildlife biologist for help identifying features that might attract nuisance species. Modify the plans to eliminate one or more of the desirable habitat components identified. Implementing preventive measures is much easier and more cost-effective than handling nuisance wildlife problems.
Sources of technical and educational assistance available to help prevent and solve wildlife damage problems are listed below.
The MDC is responsible for the control, management, restoration, conservation and regulation of the bird, fish, game, forestry and all wildlife resources of the state. Since 1945, the MDC's Wildlife Damage Management Program has served Missourians by providing information and expertise on wildlife damage prevention and control. The program has services available throughout the state and uses an extension-and-outreach approach to helping people solve wildlife damage problems.
The MDC conducts training sessions to teach landowners and property owners how to handle wildlife damage problems. Formal educational programs are often conducted cooperatively with numerous organizations and groups, and often are held at local MDC offices and MU Extension centers. In addition, training is conducted for individuals and communities experiencing wildlife damage problems. These free services are available to landowners and communities throughout the state. Traps, cable restraints, scare devices and other equipment needed to solve a particular problem are often made available at cost.
Contact either the wildlife damage biologist serving your region (Figure 6) or your local conservation agent for more information. Additional educational resources can be obtained at http://mdc.mo.gov/.
Figure 6. The Missouri Department of Conservation has wildlife damage biologists who can help handle nuisance wildlife problems.
In Missouri, the USDA APHIS Wildlife Services program shares the primary responsibility for responding to a variety of wildlife damage issues. For example, assistance with migratory birds, aquatic rodents such as beaver or muskrats, federally protected species, and nuisance wildlife such as feral swine is provided to landowners, farmers, businesses and local governments. This assistance is provided statewide in urban and rural areas and on airports, private property and federal lands.
Assistance with wildlife damage management can be provided by calling toll-free 866-4-USDA-WS (866-487-3297). Additional educational resources can be obtained at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage.
University of Missouri Extension, through its network of MU Extension centers and specialists, provides educational assistance and a wide range of research-based information and publications on the prevention and control of wildlife damage. Most Missouri counties have an MU Extension center. Numerous MU Extension guides on wildlife damage management are available at your local MU extension center or on the Web at http://extension.missouri.edu.
The Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management at the University of Nebraska is a clearinghouse for research-based information and educational materials on the prevention and control of wildlife damage. Information and a variety of technical bulletins and publications are available at http://icwdm.org.
Many municipalities have animal control departments that offer assistance and advice on solving wildlife damage problems, such as removing raccoons, skunks, opossums or bats from dwellings.
Private pest control operators (PCOs) specialize in solving wildlife damage problems and provide assistance to people in urban areas. For a fee, many PCOs will handle problems with Norway rats, house mice, moles, bats and nuisance birds.

atheism environment: apocalypse believers Christians god-botherers idiots
by Warren
leave a comment
Brighter Planet
Year 4, Month 2, Day 22: The Fire This Time
USA Today links the sensitive fee-fees of the god-botherers to the environmental crisis in a touching piece entitled, "God and Climate Change."
Today, new prophets tell us that our modern sins will lead to rising seas, stronger hurricanes and longer droughts. If we don't reform our sinful ways, global catastrophe on a biblical scale looms. Billy Graham could hardly have said it better.
Hearing God's call
In traditional Christian theology, there are two direct ways to access the thinking of God: the "Book of the Bible" and the "Book of Nature."
Until Charles Darwin, Christians believed that the earth was not much changed from its creation about 6,000 years ago, meaning the design of the natural world offered a glimpse into the mind of God. John Calvin would thus write that God "daily discloses himself in the whole workmanship of the universe." The plant and animal kingdoms are "burning lamps" that "shine for us … the glory of its author." To eliminate a species or damage the earth is to limit our knowledge of God.
In some ways, environmentalism should be seen as a secularized version of Calvinism, minus God. Obama has brought God back into the environmental conversation, even if his theological knowledge is incomplete.
Go ahead. Tell me I'm angry. Tell me something I don't know. February 14:
To the extent that their creeds encourage them to act in the interests of our collective survival, religious believers are important participants in the struggle against devastating climate change. But the sword of faith cuts both ways; the fact is that most major world religions deny the reality and finality of the world, viewing it instead as an illusory prelude to a hypothetical afterlife. Whether in the extreme form of those eagerly anticipating the fiery Armageddon described in Revelations, or in the less apocalyptic thinking of religious liberals who simply wish that death wasn't so, um, deadly, these eschatologies are ultimately incompatible with the idea of long-term sustainability.
Climate change is a global phenomenon unintentionally created by human behavior and detected by human perceptions; it won't be solved by the prayers of the faithful but by the concerted work of billions of humans seeking to preserve their shared planetary heritage.

If Saturday night's performance against D.C. United is any indication, Paris Saint-Germain's $20 million offseason investment in Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be well worth it.
But it won't guarantee a victory in every match.
In his first appearance with the French side, Ibrahimovic scored a goal in the third minute to give PSG an early lead over United, but a penalty later in the first half converted by Dwayne De Rosario gave the home side a share of the points as the Herbalife World Football Challenge match finished 1-1.
The match was delayed 45 minutes for a passing thunderstorm, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the media and fans clamoring to see what Ibra could do for the nouveau riche Parisien club. A media frenzy tracked Ibrahimovic throughout warm-ups, and he ended the suspense early.
After running onto a beautiful through ball from Jeremy Menez, Ibrahimovic settled himself in the box, made two quick moves to his left and fired a blistering left-footer past D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid to give PSG a 1-0 lead.
Ibrahimovic, who led the Italian Serie A with 28 goals last season while with AC Milan, played 37 minutes and took three shots before subbing off for Guillaume Hoarau.
Before Ibra subbed off, though, United's nearly pulled back an equalizer in the 20th minute. In a near-duplication of D.C.'s goal-connection from Wednesday's MLS All-Star game, Chris Pontius one-timed a lob from Dwayne De Rosario off the crossbar.
Three minutes later, though, United's momentum was stemmed when the referee called a delay in the 23rd minute as lightening and thunder rolled overhead.
Once play resumed 45 minutes later, United showed they were still in the ascendency. Defender Daniel Woolard launched an innocent left-footer on net that caught the hand of PSG's Milan Bisevac in the box. De Rosario made good on his resulting spotkick, beating PSG goalkeeper Nicolas Douchez to his left to tie the game at 1-1.
PSG generated three quality opportunities in the opening 10 minutes of the second half but their best chance to take the lead came in the waning minutes of stoppage time.
In the 92nd minute, PSG midfielder Christophe Jallet was in great position after a cheeky play in the box. Jallet lined a right-footer that United goalkeeper Joe Willis dove and knocked away. A minute later, defender Mamadou Sakho had a golden opportunity to pot the winner when he headed a deflection Willis managed to turn aside.
It was a fittingly frenzied finish to a back-and-forth game that saw PSG outshoot D.C., 6-4, even though the homeside outpossessed the French side, 52% to 48%.
The match complete's PSG's participation in the WFC, following their 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Yankee Stadium last weekend.
D.C., meanwhile, return to league action next Saturday against Columbus.

|Phase 2
In previous ALVAC vCP205/SF-2 rgp 120 studies, patients have developed antibodies that neutralize homologous laboratory strains; over 50% of patients have developed CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses to HIV env and gag epitopes at some point in the study. This Phase II study seeks to confirm these results among persons at lower or higher risk for HIV infection with a new lot of ALVAC vCP205, at a dose that is suitable for potential large-scale trials. [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/2/98: Addition of AIDSVAX B/B or AIDSVAX B/E boosts starting at least 12 months after receiving rgp120 or ALVAC vaccines may induce enhanced neutralizing antibody response as deemed from prior studies and thus is planned as "follow-up" therapy.]
Volunteers are recruited and screened; those who are enrolled are then stratified by their risk status into 2 groups: individuals having lower-risk behavior for HIV and individuals having higher-risk behavior for HIV. Volunteers are then randomly assigned to arm A, B, or C and receive immunizations at months 0, 1, 3, and 6 as follows:
Group A- ALVAC vCP205 plus SF-2 rgp120 in MF59. Group B- ALVAC vCP205 plus saline placebo. Group C- Placebo-ALVAC plus saline placebo. [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/2/98: Beginning 12-18 months after initial vaccination, then 2, 6, and 12 months later, 10 volunteers from group A receive saline placebo, while 50 volunteers each from groups B and C are rerandomized within their respective groups, and are treated as follows.
Group B (subgroup 1) - AIDSVAX B/B. Group B (subgroup 2) - AIDSVAX B/E. Group B (subgroup 3) - alum placebo. Group C (subgroup 1) - AIDSVAX B/B. Group C (subgroup 2) - AIDSVAX B/E. Group C (subgroup 3) - alum placebo.] Volunteers are followed for 2 years and are tested for humoral immune response to HIV-1. Neutralizing activity to HIV-1 is performed on a subset of volunteers monitored for CTL response. [AS PER AMENDMENT 7/2/98: Volunteers receiving AIDSVAX B/B and AIDSVAX B/E will additionally be studied for formation of various neutralizing antibodies and parameters of cellular immunity.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 4/30/99: Because the subunit boosts that were added in version 3.0 are not available, the subunit boost portion of version 3.0 is cancelled.]

Gene Patents Face Reckoning
Medical-Testing Companies Differ on Potential Impact of Supreme Court Ruling
Last year, Quest Diagnostics Inc. spent $740 million to buy a company that owns rights to some patents on human genes. So the prospect of a Supreme Court ruling in 2013 striking down such patents might seem scary.
It isn't, said spokeswoman Wendy Bost. An end to gene patents could be a "positive development," she said, "because it would open new opportunities to develop new testing services based on gene discoveries."...

There's been rumours spreading in India recently that Lee Scratch Perry no longer smokes cannabis. What's the story? Does he still otherwise consume it? His receipe fot tea in the high times interview suggests a "homeopathic or biodynamic" (ie dilute) dose when he takes it that way but there were a certain digestic problems. I try to consumate this way but got dhiarhea. Please, illumination on this truly upsetting news.

RALEIGH (AP) — A pair of bills that would require welfare recipients to undergo drug tests and criminal background checks advanced Tuesday in the North Carolina General Assembly.
A House bill that received bipartisan support on the full floor requires all county Department of Social Services offices to perform background checks to bar applicants and recipients with outstanding warrants or other active violations from welfare and food stamp programs. A Senate bill that cleared a committee vote over the objections of Democratic lawmakers and advocates would require drug screenings for welfare applicants and recipients at their own expense.
Applicants and recipients in the state's Work First program who pass the screening would be reimbursed in future assistance payments. Those who fail could reapply in a year after completing a treatment program at their own expense and passing a drug test.
Work First provides cash assistance and job training through the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program.
Currently, substance abuse professionals in county social services departments conduct interviews and look for signs of addiction with applicants and current recipients but do not conduct drug tests. If those employees diagnose a substance abuse problem the applicant or recipient must enter a treatment program and submit to drug testing to continue qualifying for benefits.
Sen. Jim Davis, R-Macon and the bill's primary sponsor, said the measure prompts people to seek help for substance abuse problems without overburdening others.
"My presumption is if you have the money to buy drugs you have the money to buy food and to support your family," he said. "My presumption is that if you're going to test negative for a controlled substance you'll gladly take the test because you know you'll be reimbursed."
Bill Rowe, director of advocacy for the North Carolina Justice Center, said studies show drug use is no more common among welfare recipients than within the general population, and federal courts have invalidated similar laws in other states.
Most recently, a federal appeals court struck down a Florida law requiring drug screenings, finding it violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure and presented a slippery slope toward drug testing to receive any kind of government benefit.
Rowe also said the bill would fail to make a dent in addiction because it takes away the emphasis on identifying those with serious addictions in favor of initial screenings that will ensnare minor users.
Sen. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, argued the bill unfairly targets poor people who can't pay for drug tests, which Rowe said could range from $25 to $150.
Sarah Preston, the policy director for the ACLU of North Carolina, said similar measures in other states have actually cost more to administer than they save in granting benefits.
Costs for reimbursing those who pass drug tests aren't yet known, but Davis said those will be provided at the bill's next hearing in the Senate Health Care Committee.
The bill requiring background checks for welfare and food stamp recipients passed an initial vote in the full House 96-22 after its sponsor offered an amendment ensuring counties won't face additional costs.
Food and Nutrition Services, the formal name for the food stamps program, provides debit cards to low-income families.
Federal law forbids states from giving public assistance benefits to fleeing felons, those with active violations or outstanding warrants, and the bill requires DSS offices to inform law enforcement agencies if a background check indicates those types of violations.
Opponents have expressed concerns that the bill creates an unsafe environment for DSS employees and burdens them with new responsibilities. Supporters counter that the bill helps ensure compliance with federal law. They also argue that the new requirements will become routine for workers and help the justice system through greater coordination.
The bill was held up over questions about new potential costs, but Rep. Dean Arp, R-Union and the bill's primary sponsor, said the state will pay $144,000 to equip computer systems with technology to conduct background checks and local branches won't face other expenses.
Welfare changes move through NC General Assembly

They play was executed to near perfection with three seconds remaining in overtime.
Kyle Steigenga leaped up beyond the 3-point arc to catch a three-quarters length of the court pass, and then quickly tossed it off to Jared Dykstra.
What look liked a hook-and-ladder football play gave Dykstra a wide-open, but long shot to win the game. His heave didn�t hit the rim, and the Holland Christian boys basketball team fell to Hudsonville Unity Christian, 47-45, on Monday at the Holland�Civic Center.
The Maroons could have clinched at least a share of the OK Green title with a win. Now Zeeland West can win the OK Green title outright if it wins at Byron Center on Tuesday.
Holland Christian dropped to 7-3 in the league, tied for second with Holland,�and 13-5 overall.
The Maroons offense was out of sync to start against Unity Christian and fell behind after the first quarter 14-4. Steigenga tallied all of his team points in the first. He finished with 21 points.
The second quarter didn�t fare much better as the Crusaders went into halftime with a 24-16 lead.
"I thought our kids played really hard, and I thought they were a little tight," Unity Christian coach Scott Soodsma said. "I really thought defensively our kids did a good job of switching and kept them out of the lane most of the night."
Steigenga had 10 points and Dykstra hit two 3s in the first half.
"We got outrebounded by nine, which is an indicator that we were not playing our best," Holland Christian coach Jason Mejeur said. "We didn�t come out with energy or a will to win at the beginning and they did."
The offense came to life in the third quarter sparked first by a dunk from Steigenga. Nathan Walters hit a 3 and then Steigenga followed with a�three-point play�to cut the deficit to four.
Unity Christian (9-9) clung to a 35-30 lead heading into the fourth, but the momentum clearly shifted.
"We made a few offensive adjustments and really got guys moving instead of standing offensively, and that helped," Mejeur said. "Our defense is what kept us in. They had trouble scoring in that second half. We were able to turn up some pressure in the fourth quarter."
The Maroons took the lead in the fourth quarter on a 9-0 run. The Crusaders tied it a 43 with four seconds to go, and a 3 from Steigenga hit off the rim at the buzzer�to head into overtime.
Justin Dykgraaf hit two free throws for Holland Christian�s only points in the overtime period.
Unity Christian�s Michael Wilks hit a tough layup off the backboard with three seconds left to break a tie at 45.
"We didn�t run any set," Soodsma said. "I wish I could take credit for that but Michael just made a great individual play and got to the basket, and he was fortunate enough to knock it down."
Holland Christian boys hoops can't clinch in OT

Everything seems to be finally falling into place for Bachelor alum, Melissa Rycroft. Melissa's life has made a complete 360 since being dumped publicly by her then fiance, Jason Mesnick, just months ago.
Melissa has since had a successful run on Dancing With The Stars, gotten a job with GMA, and recently gotten engaged to her beau, Tye Strickland.
"Tye is my true love," Melissa, 26, tells PEOPLE in its new issue. These days, Melissa harbors no hard feelings towards her ex, Jason, because the situation brought her to where she is today. "No disrespect [to Jason] at all, but that situation doesn't compare to where I am now – engaged and happy. It's a different feeling," she says.
Tye, 28, also speaks out for the first time about their relationship, "The last six months have not been normal…But we wouldn't change it because what we had to go through has allowed us to be where we are today. It's been a blessing in disguise, and I don't think either of us has ill feelings towards anyone."
The happy couple will be appearing tomorrow, July 28th, on The Bachelorette: After The Final Rose. I'm certain Melissa has her reservations appearing on this show considering what happened the last time she was on it.

Great update Nick.
Having spent many hours photographing kingfishers with Ian and Cliff we know how difficult it is catching them in flight with a camera. They mainly fly 1m above the surface of the river making this a high risk catch for a peregrine. Do you or anyone else know if peregrines are able to take flight from water in the same way the osprey does?

Really interesting watching a juvenile mantling on the nest platform a few minutes ago. It had it's wings spread right out over the prey it brought in. It certainly wasn't going to share it with one of the adult birds that was sitting on the other side!! It didn't start to feed properly until the adult had flown off. Amazing to see how their behaviour has changed in just a few weeks.
- 28 July 2011 at 19:07
Hi Jon: an interesting observation and question!
I would doubt that a peregrine would ever deliberately alight on water and I have no idea whether it could take off again if it did. I would rather doubt it. It would probably flap to the water's edge and then dry itself off before being able to fly properly - maybe...
Quite why a peregrine would fly just above the water in order to catch a kingfisher I also don't know. Kingfishers do occasionally fly well away from water and higher up too so perhaps this one was caught in a less dangerous place? There's so much we don't know about these birds isn't there....
We suspect that they come down to the water's edge somewhere to bathe quite regularly, again maybe on a gravel bank in the river or by the side of a lake or gravel pit but no one has ever reported seeing this - now there's a challenge for you photographers - take a shot of our peregrines bathing!

One juv up on the north side of the tower yesterday afternoon calling very loudly for food, the falcon sitting on the east side, but no sign of the tiercel.

While I was standing in the cathedral car park this morning (Friday 29th), I could see two peregrines up on Jury's Inn, south face, about 8:30am. One was calling loudly. Then I noticed another peregrine circling overhead, then it flew towards the cathedral. I didn't have my binoculars, so couldn't tell whether they were juveniles or adults.
Just now (10:05am) there is one on the grotesques with its back to the camera.

Is that another juvenile on the tower? I can't see it clearly.
- 1 August 2011 at 13:04

There's a juvenile on the tower looking agitated, opening its beak a lot so clearly calling. No sign of intruders so it's probably yelling for a meal!

Once again I believe I can see a juvenile on the tower, just in front of the water-spout & facing this way.

I walked up in to town from Alvaston on Sunday morning, and it was a delight to follow the course of the Derwent from Pride Park right back into the heart of the city centre. For much of the way I was accompanied by the sounds of Sand Martins along the river. (And the blackberries were tasty, too) When we got to Cathedral Green I could see one of the adults high up on the the east side of Jury's Inn. Stupidly, I had forgotten to bring my binoculars , though my guess was that it was one of the adults.
There were flowers, notes, a photograph, a very touching poem and a long, yellow ribbon tied to a tree on the Green. So we stopped to read the many messages left there in tribute to a young man who had suddenly and unexpectedly left his friends behind on this earth. The tributes were moving, and our thoughts were with him and with all those other young people who had loved him, though we knew him not ourselves.
I left, pondering how it can be that such a small flake of one creature's life can have such a profound effect on another.

Don't think they're too impressed with the inclement weather - there's a group huddle going on up on the tower - three of them up there - good to see them still around.

From the Cathedral car park we could see one peregrine on the nest ledge and another on Jury's Inn lettering south face. There was a lot of screeching, so we thought that maybe a juvenile was calling for food.

Adult on scrape ledge lhs. At least, I think it's an adult - yellow legs & feet, horizontal front "stripes", yes? if not, excuse me, I need new specs ...

Two on the tower - an adult with its back to camera, a juvenile I think ( though the lens is murky) facing.

@Annie et al
It's difficult as the juvies grow older to tell them from the adults on the cams. So, I Googled your description, "yellow legs...etc", and thought I'd share this handy guide. It's a bit off topic (sorry) but might raise a smile and there's no harm in that.

Is there something particularly attractive about 'letters'?
Whilst on a visit to Nottingham this morning I happened to spot a juvenile Peregrine perched on the capital 'A' of the Arc building on the the NG2 commercial estate, close to the Mercedes dealership. Despite a close look through binoculars it was not possible to see the leg ring, so I can't be sure whether it was one of 'our' birds, or a fellow peregrine from the Nottingham brood. Whichever it certainly appears that letters on buidings are a favourite perch.

There is a youngster close up on the tower cam and I can see another peregrine behind but cannot make out if adult or youngster. Very nice!

Sunday the 17th July saw the first ever mixed womens and girls festival. Llanidloes hosted not only the Regional Womens and U18's thrid round of the National 7's tournament, but mixed in RGC's first national cluster festival.
Six ages grades from U9's to Senior Womens were all represented and took part in a fully intergrated festival kicked off by an U15's match on the main pitch. RGC cluster clubs, Mor Ladron, Rebels and the Ravens hosted the Bridges from Llantwit Fardre and the Myrddin Maidens from Carmarthenshire. Senior and U18's were represented by Blues, Dragons Ospreys and the winners in both age groups on the day The Scarlets.
With over 20 games on the day the event proved a huge success and will hopefully be the showcase for the end of the Cluster season as well as displaying the pathway for North Wales players wishing pursue the sport.
The event was a credit to its hosts Llandiloes RFC who were fantastic, food, tea and coffee and homemade cake. Wolfpack challenges and raffles for parents, coaches and players added to the festival feel.
Players enjoyed watching Welsh senior and regional players and getting the opportunity to mix discuss rugby and even the U13's playing alongside the likes of Rebels Ambassador Elen Evans and Welsh Captain Rachel Taylor. Opportunity to see the U18's pathway first hand and a Q&A with Ospreys and Wales back row Shona Powell Hughes proved a hit.
We look forward to revisiting Llanidloes next year and look forward to extending the invitation to more Cluster clubs. On behalf of the WRU we would like to thank all the players, coaches, parents and volunteers for their attendance and support.
