Tour Leaders
Core Team…
Brydon Thomason
A native Shetlander, Brydon grew up on a croft on the beautiful island of Fetlar. Sharing his home island with such an evocative array of birds as Snowy owl, Red-necked phalarope, Red-throated diver and Storm petrel literally on his doorstep, it is little wonder Brydon had a passion for birds from childhood.
From that early age, bird migration in particular fascinated Brydon and quickly became one of his main birding motivations with a predilection for the thrill of finding and identifying rarities around the Isles and there can be no where better to do so!
But it wasn't just birds that inspired Brydon, Otters and in particular their secretive lives fascinated him from a young age. Learning to track their movements and elusive behaviour in his childhood developed into a life's passion.
Brydon's interest in his natural environment was inspired and greatly encouraged by his childhood hero and legendary Shetland naturalist, the late Bobby Tulloch.
It was a combination of his experience as a naturalist, his warm personality and a heady blend of pride and passion that led Brydon to establish his wildlife tour company 'Shetland Nature' in 2006 and build a career around the life he feels so privileged to live.
Brydon's love of wildlife and wild places has inspired him on many travels visiting Asia, Antarctic, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East.
Brydon is a keen photographer and in recent years has worked with several well-known British wildlife photographers such as David Tipling, Peter Cairns, Mark Hamblin and Chris Gomersal. He has worked closely on several TV productions, most recently Simon Kings Shetland Diaries series.
He is also a committee member of the Shetland Bird Club and the Shetland Clubs Rarities Committee and writes a monthly wildlife column in 'ii Shetland magazine as well as writing online articles for Promote Shetland and The Shetland News.
Gary Bell
Gary's passion for nature started at a young age, and by the age of 13 he recalls finding his first pod of Killer Whales while seawatching on a family holiday on the west coast of Scotland, a memory as vivid now as it was over 30 years ago. Gary originally moved to Shetland in 1983 and spent most of the remainder of the 1980s on the islands. Leaving to attend college and university in his home town of Edinburgh, Gary was the instigator and editor of the Lothian Bird Report and has served on committees for the Scottish Ornithologists Club, as well being a group leader for them and the RSPB. He has also undertaken ornithological survey work both professionally and voluntarily for the RSPB, BTO and SNH. Employed as an interpretive guide for nearly ten years with The City Of Edinburgh Council, Gary has a rare ability to communicate with a wide audience.
Rob Fray
Rob originates from Leicester, where he was, amongst other things, County Bird Recorder and Chairman of the Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society. He first visited Shetland in 1986 and after many years visiting the islands became a permanent resident in 2007. He is now part of the editorial team that writes the Shetland Bird Report and is jointly responsible for maintaining the Nature in Shetland website.
Rob won the national 'Young Ornithologist of the Year' competition (organised by the junior section of the RSPB) in both 1984 and 1985, and since then has been employed in a variety of professional and voluntary capacities relating to wildlife, including recent spells with the RSPB and the Shetland Biological Records Centre. He has been a wildlife tour guide since 2006.
One of his main interests is writing, and Rob has recently written 'Where to watch birds in the East Midlands' and 'The Birds of Leicestershire and Rutland', both published by A & C Black/Helm. His passion for wildlife is not just restricted to birds, with butterflies, dragonflies and especially moths being particular interests.
Rob is widely travelled, and has visited South and North America, the Caribbean, Asia and large parts of Europe in search of birds and other wildlife.
David Tipling
David has worked as a freelance wildlife photographer since 1992. Birds have been a passion of David's since childhood and so it is no surprise that these are the focus of his work. David has written and been the commissioned photographer for more than 40 books on birds and wildlife photography, including the best selling RSPB Guide to Digital Wildlife Photography. He has collaborated with some of the UK's leading nature writers including Jonathan Elphick and Mark Cocker. It is with Mark that he is currently working on Birds & People the world's largest survey of cultural attitudes to birds worldwide and is in association with BirdLife and Random House Publishers. David is one of the most widely published wildlife photographers in the world. His pictures have been used on hundreds of book and magazine covers, regularly on TV and in just about every other conceivable way from wine labels to being projected in New York's Time Square. Sir David Bellamy has described David's pictures as "windows of wonder".
Recent TV appearances have included a short film on photographing Nightjars with Chris Packham which was featured on Springwatch, with further recent appearances on Anglia TV again featuring photographic subjects within Norfolk. In 2009 along with co presenter Chris Gomersall he once again appeared in front of the camera for the Wildlife Photography Masterclass DVD. David's work has won him many awards such as European Nature Photographer of the Year Documentary Award, multiple wins of BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Nature's Best where most recently in 2009 David was awarded the Indigenous Cultures Award for his work on Mongolian Eagle Hunters. In 2008 he was named as one of the worlds top 50 wildlife photographers by Digital Photography Magazine. David is a regular judge for photography competitions, notably British Birds Bird Photographer of the Year and the International Wild Bird Photographer of the Year. He is photographic consultant for British Birds Magazine and writes a regular monthly column for East Anglia's biggest selling paper the Eastern Daily Press in which he showcases local wildlife in pictures.
Martin Garner
Described by Dominic Mitchell as 'requiring excitement management', Martin has been married to Sharon for 20 years and they have 2 teenage daughters, Emily and Abigail. He has been birding since he was 11 years old (a long time ago!), he has always been interested in thinking outside the box, an approach to life which has lead him to finding the first Caspian Gulls in Britain. He is currently a member of the British Birds Rarities Committee, an identification consultant for Birding World magazine and formerly identification consultant for BWPi. He is the director of the Free Spirit Trust, a Christian Charity involved in bringing transformation to tough situations in Sheffield and Rwanda as well as coaching leaders in mission and in the business community. He has published many papers on identification and his first full book 'Frontiers in Birding' has just sold out. He loves wild places, new discoveries and trying to inspire other people to reach their full potential in life.
Tim Appleton
Tim Appleton was deputy curator at Slimbridge before becoming the Reserve Manager at Rutland Water Nature Reserve. For the past 35 years, he has been responsible for the creation and development of this outstanding inland reserve (now a SSSI, Ramsar site and SPA).
Tim has had a life-long interest in birds, especially wetland species. This interest has taken him to almost all corners of the globe, to both watch and study birds.
Co-founder of the British Birdwatching Fair Tim also leads wildlife holidays all over the world. Tim was the originator of the translocation project of Osprey to England from Scotland. Vice-president of the BOU, received the Christopher Cadbury medal for Nature Conservation in 1999 and was awarded an honorary degree – Master of Science – by University of Leicester in recognition of contribution to wildlife conservation and in 2004 Tim was awarded the MBE.
Rebecca Nason
Rebecca has had a deep running passion for birds, wildlife and travel since childhood, initially inspired by her family during exotic travel over many school holidays. After graduating with a BSc Hons degree in Geography and Environmental Studies and an MSc in Conservation Management, Rebecca spent time travelling, bird ringing, developing her bird photography skills and working for the RSPB before taking a dream post as Assistant Warden/Seabird Monitoring Officer on Fair Isle, Shetland in 2003 and 2004. Shetland is now a place Rebecca regards as a second home, and visits at least 3 times a year for birding and photography. Rebecca became a wildlife tour-leader in 2005 and set up her own bird photography business in 2006 alongside seasonal ecological contracts. In recent years Rebecca's bird photography (which is represented by FLPA and Natural Visions Agencies) and travel articles have been widely published in many books and monthly bird magazines and journals. Several East Anglian art galleries have recently taken on her photographic work. After nearly a decade of multiple annual visits, along with her partner Phil Harris, Rebecca is amidst her dream plans to move from the Suffolk coast to settle in the Isles.
Micky Maher
Micky is a tour leader and ecologist based in Newcastle-upon Tyne. He spent ten years living on Shetland where he was the county bird recorder between 2003 and 2007, he was also the secretary for the islands records committee and an active member of the Sea Mammal group. Over the passed 18 years Micky has worked for Britain's leading conservation organisations on various projects and a former warden of Noss National Nature Reserve and North Isles ranger for the Shetland Amenity Trust. Micky has always been fascinated by the natural world and his diverse knowledge ranges from birds, cetaceans, botany and bees! He loves foreign travel and has embarked on natural history adventures on five continents including long-term studies of passerines, seabirds and turtles in the Seychelles. Micky remembers leading his first ever group at the age of 17 and says the proudest moment in his life so far was being best man for Brydon and Vaila at their wedding in 2008!
Vaila Thomason
Vaila, a local lass, hails from the island of Unst. She married Brydon in 2008 on the beach in Fetlar, where they now live with their son Casey. Vaila feels the stunning surroundings and incredible wildlife along with her family certainly influenced her early years; she studied biology at Edinburgh University and graduated with an Honours degree in Zoology in 2002. She has travelled extensively, whilst at university she went to Indonesia as a conservation volunteer and took part in "Reef Check" a global survey of coral reef conditions and after university Vaila took her "obligatory" year out, taking in Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand, all the while searching out the local wildlife highlights from swimming with Manatees in Florida to swimming with whale sharks in Australia.
In 2005, a lifelong ambition to see penguins and polar bears (not at the same time) was achieved when she took an enviable job aboard the RV Akademic Ioffe taking tourists to the polar regions. Her first season was spent in the Canadian Arctic, sailing between Baffin Island and Greenland, followed by a season in the Antarctic, South America, the Falklands and South Georgia, an experience she will never forget.
Iain Robertson
Iain first came to Shetland in 1968 to work for the RSPB on Fetlar where he worked with the late Bobby Tulloch protecting the breeding Snowy Owls. He co-founded the Shetland Bird Club in 1973 and went on to become warden of Portland and then Fair Isle Bird Observatories. He served on the British Birds Rarities Committee and has published numerous articles on bird identification in a variety of journals. After Fair Isle he became a full-time wildlife tour-leader and has visited fifty-three countries and all seven continents. He spent two seasons monitoring seabirds on Unst and undertook various surveys of Whimbrel, Red-throated Divers and other breeding birds in Shetland. He has a keen interest in cetaceans and was a committee member of the Shetland Cetacean Group. His enthusiasm for Shetland and its wildlife is still as strong as when he first came to live on the islands as a teenager.
Deryk Shaw
Deryk is a recent addition to our team, following his 'retirement' after 12 years as the Warden of Fair Isle Bird Observatory. He still lives on the fabled island though with his wife, Hollie, and their four children. He was introduced to nature at a very young age by his father – a keen naturalist – and grew up in the wilds of Galloway, where he would spend many hours observing the local birds and finding nests for his father to ring the chicks. Always interested in the conservation and research side of ornithology, he joined the BTO and qualified as a licensed bird ringer whilst still in his teens. Either side of a zoology degree he held several ornithological research posts, including a three-year stint at Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory, where he met his future wife. Deryk and Hollie moved to Fair Isle in 1999 to take up the enviable roles in charge of the world famous Bird Observatory. His reign was filled with glorious birding, including three firsts for Britain and climaxed with overseeing the building of the new observatory and guiding it through its first season. Now a Fair Isle crofter, ferryman, fireman, coastguard cliff technician, roads worker and aerogenerator engineer, he is pleased to be able to still find time to show people the delights of birding Fair Isle with Shetland Nature Tours.
Helen Moncrieff
Shetlander Helen Moncrieff grew up in the South Mainland of Shetland where she now lives and works as RSPB Scotland's South Shetland Warden and Education Coordinator. Helen proudly feels fortunate to have been brought up with an appreciation for the ways of Shetlands nature and our relationship with it. It was during her time volunteering to help with the Braer oil spill clean up operation that she decided that working in conservation was to be her future. Graduating with a University of East Anglia BSc in Conservation Management from Otley College in Suffolk she then spent a short while in Cape May NJ but like so many Shetlanders was drawn back to the magic of the isles. After working as a warden for the RSPB she then spent a two years working as the Biodiversity Action Plan Officer before beginning her current post. Helen's knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for the isles has led her to feature in and assist with wildlife documentaries about Shetland, she is also a very active committee member and Secretary for the Shetland Bird Club. Along with her passion for the natural world Helen is also a keen diver.

Supporting cast and contributors…
Roger Riddington
Roger Riddington lives with his wife Agnes in the south part of Mainland Shetland. His full time job, as editor of the journal British Birds, keeps him indoors too much, but the ability to work from home overlooking the famous Pool of Virkie is a major recompense. Following a summer spent in 1992, as seabird officer at Fair Isle Bird Observatory he was truly hooked and made a full-time move to Shetland in March 1994. Following four years as the warden on Fair Isle he worked for three years as manager of Shetland Biological Records Centre, before taking up his post with British Birds. He has been birding for over 30 years, and his main interests are seabirds and migration – perfect for a Shetland Nature Guide! He has guided many trips in Shetland, and further afield, including Galapagos, and is well travelled in Europe and beyond.
Rory Tallack
Rory Tallack has lived in Shetland since the age of 8, enabling him to build up an intimate knowledge of the islands. A relative latecomer to birding, he became hooked during his two seasons working as Ranger at the Fair Isle Bird Observatory. Such an unrivaled introduction to birding, coupled with mentoring from step father Roger Riddington, soon fuelled his knowledge and passion for birds. Rory has travelled extensively in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia but has finally settled in Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland Isles. Here he holds the post of North Shetland Ranger, a job which has allowed his interest in Shetland's diverse natural heritage to extend far beyond his love of birds, with botany in particular coming a close second.
Juan Brown
Juan has worked in conservation for the past 18 years. He was warden on the Farne Islands in Northumberland, before moving to Shetland in 1998. Half way through the second season as warden on Noss, a career opportunity presented itself, and he spent the following eight and half years as Warden on the Welsh island of Skomer. At the end of 2007 Juan followed the pull back to Shetland, settling down with his partner Jane and young daughter Martha in their house overlooking the isle of Mousa. Following a season wardening Mousa and Sumburgh Head for the RSPB, he now works for Scottish Natural Heritage in Lerwick, visiting his beloved Noss as often as possible. In addition to a wealth of general natural history knowledge, Juan is a keen birder with a track record of rarity finding.
Paul French
Paul's introduction to Shetland came with YOC trips to Fair Isle in the summers of 1995 and 1996. Quickly becoming hooked with the heady mix of stunning scenery and seabirds, he vowed to return as assistant warden on Fair Isle as soon as he was old enough. This ambition came to fruition during the seasons of 2001 and 2002. After two successful seasons on Fair Isle he spent two seasons as RSPB Assistant Warden on Fetlar, followed by a season at Sumburgh Head. He is currently a warden of the RSPB's Lincolnshire Wash reserves. Paul is a member of both the Lincolnshire and British Birds rarities committees and has published articles on identification in both Brithish Birds and Birding World. His passion for birds and wildlife has taken him to thirteen countries on four continents.
Andy Foote
Andy has been involved in research on cetaceans for the past decade. He studied killer whale vocal behaviour for his Masters at the University of Durham between 2002 and 2005. Andy is currently finishing up his PhD on the ecology of killer whales in the Northeast Atlantic at the University of Aberdeen and is the co-founder of the North Atlantic Killer Whale ID project. This work has included cataloguing over 100 individual whales through photo-identification around Scotland. This project was awarded a Shetland Environment Award in 2008. Andy has worked on a number of other marine mammals species such as minke whales, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, grey seals, harbour seals and harbour porpoise and in such diverse locations as the Aleutian and Pribalof Islands, Vancouver Island, Scotland, Norway, Greece and Wales. Andy's work has been published in several high profile scientific journals including Nature, Biology Letters, Molecular Ecology and Evolutionary Ecology and has been covered by the media on the BBC, CBC, in the Times, New York Times, Telegraph and the Guardian.
Volker Deecke
Volker was born in Germany and raised in Austria, but has lived most of his life abroad. He started studying biology in Berlin, but soon transferred to Vancouver where he completed a masters degree investigating the evolution of vocal dialects in resident (fish-eating) killer whales. He received his doctorate from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland focused on the vocal behaviour of transient (mammal-eating) killer whales in British Columbia and Alaska and the response of harbour seals to killer whale calls. After post-doctoral research at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Deecke returned to St. Andrews where he is currently a research fellow at the Sea Mammal Research Unit studying the behaviour of killer whales in Scottish waters. Volker's speciality is underwater acoustics and he has all the technological gadgets tfor eavesdropping on the underwater communications of whales, dolphins and seals. In addition, Volker is interested in all aspects of animal behaviour and even knows a thing or two about plants.

Cedar Rapids Weather
New Water Fees and Rates Hit Multi-Family Tenants Harder in MarionBy Dave Franzman, Reporter
MARION, Iowa — All Marion residents will see an increase in both city water and sanitary sewer rates this spring. But those who live in multifamily units like apartments or even mobile home parks will end up paying more.
That's because the city is changing the way service fees are calculated. Marion operates its own water system, but pays Cedar Rapids to treat wastewater. Utility officials say the bill for that service has gone up 250% since 2007. Right now, the city charges $7.00 per month, per water meter to provide service to each customer. The new fee structure will boost that to $8.00. But the real change for multifamily residents is the city will now charge that fee per unit and not per meter. Every single family home in Marion has a water meter. But apartment buildings, some with dozens of units, also have just one meter and pay the service fee based on that. Ryan Miller, public services director for Marion, said the change is a case of fairness. As the city looked at the need to raise rates, it realized individual apartment tenants were probably paying 30 to 40 percent less for water and sewer services compared to single family homes. Miller said the city expected to hear from apartment owners, and tenants, when it decided to change the way it calculated the fee. "It is a significant increase for the multifamily dwelling owners. We're trying to level out the increases across the board not only for single family residents, but also the multifamily." Miller said. Mike Dricken, an apartment building owner who has two four-plex units in Marion, said when he got the letter from the city about the increases, he wasn't happy. But he was also worried about some of his tenants who live on fixed incomes or get rental assistance. Dricken pays just the single $7.00 service fee now for water and sewer service to each of his buildings. The service fee hike probably means an extra $25.00 a month in fees plus the higher rates for water and sewer. Like most landlords, Dricken pays for the water and sewer and gets it back in the rent. He said he's probably going to have to raise rents to adjust for the higher rates and fees. "Eight dollars on a $100-thousand dollar income home is nothing. But when you're on a fixed income or maybe making $20,000 a year, that's $300 dollars a year more and that's a serious increase," Dricken said. Miller said if the city hadn't change the way it calculates the service fee from per meter to per unit, then the rates might have needed to go up 20 to 30 percent. The city council in Marion has approved two readings of the new sewer and water rates. A third, and final vote, is set for the council meeting on March 7th. If passed, the new service fee would take effect April 1st. The new sewer and water rates would show up on bills after July 1st.

Weird. Well, I don't use Latitude, or have anyone tracking my location that I know of, so I don't think I need to use this. I don't think I'd use it at all, especially if I forgot I turned it on, and was trying to locate myself on Google Maps.

I believe mock locations setting is used for development. I know with the android emulator you can telnet into the emulator and give the emulator a location, so that you can test your gps apps. It should work on a real phone too, if you have it connected to your computer through usb. Mock locations turns on or off this functionality.
created on Oct 10, 2010 6:40:12 PM
I have a very valuable use for Mock Locations. I am a full-time RVer and travel the USA constantly. While traveling, GPS constantly tells me where I am. However, when i want to know the location of campgrounds for the night, search engines and apps like "Places" and "Where" will only search the area where GPS says I am NOW. Mock locations (using My Fake Location) allows me to search the area where I WILL BE later in the day by faking the GPS location. Works GREAT.

So it sounds like it sends a fake location to GPS. For more information about Google Maps, click here.

Its mainly used for development of apps that are going to use gps data. You enable it so you can test an app by having your phone show mock locations for your gps data to make sure the app is working correctly. Would be the easy answer, of course you have to have the app call for mock locations and generate different locations that your phone is not at for gps data but that is all done in the code.

Mock location
Mock the location designated by/for wifi signal you would be using. Connect to net on my router you location is my adress plus 50 foot radius Mock locate also used for many types addon gps units. Bluetooth or usb connect Mock the location it offers you |

Of course the down side to having this turned on is if you lose your phone and try to use a gps locator such as " lookout.com" like i do...your acuracy is going to be way down.

image capture will not pull it off either. i've tried restarting (phone and imac) and didn't work. there was an 'apple help' support thread or two about it, but nobody came up with something that i'd tried. keep the help coming. thanks Matt

Not sure if you can do this on a Mac, but on my PC i can view my iPhone as a 'camera' in My Computer. If I follow the file structure(which is easy since it's just a string of folders within folders), I eventually come upon the last folder which contains all of my videos and pictures. I can cut or copy them onto a folder straight from there.

theres hardly any reason for image capture not to work,
these things need to be determined first: 1. does it playback on the iphone 2. did you use other software to capture the recording 3. have you ever transferred a movie from an iphone to mac before 4. what error messages are you getting (GRAB screenshots please) |

i'm not sure either....but i'll try to dump it on my school computer (pc) and then move it to imac....then convert from wmv to .mov.
may not need to do that last part. we'll see if it works. Matt

pc plan failed.....it pulled up a DCM folder...but there was nothing in it.
and there are a few hundred pictures on there....so that's not right. ---------- Quote:
2. no...just a long movie recording from the iphone back camera 3. yes....several times. without issue 4. i'll have to wait until i get home.....the error doesn't have a number associated with it. something like ''there was an error importing pictures to the roll'' or somethign like that. if i select all but the long file...and hit 'import selected' it will work no problem. but if i make that file part of the group...or try to import it on it's own.....no can do. i'll screen grab this evening. if i get a chance. thanks for the help guys.

Can you sync the phone in iTunes without issue?
---------- Try this.. Step one: turn off and on your iPhone. Step Two : launch iTunes and iPhoto Step three : connect the iPhone to the computer. 2. Connect the USB cable directly to the computer (do not go through a hub) 3. Import movies into iphoto OR Quit iPhoto Open Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app) In the search window at the top right, search for PTPCamera Click on PTPCamera in the list of results to highlight it Click on Quit Process (the red stopsign icon in the upper left of Activity Monitor) Choose Quit If you dont already see Image Capture Extension in the list, search for it in the search box. Click on Image Capture Extension in the list of results to highlight it Choose Quit Go to Macintosh HD > System > Library > Image Capture > Devices and open PTPCamera.app back up Unplug and re-plug the iPhone 4. iPhoto should open, if youve set it to do so when a camera is plugged in. Otherwise, open it. You should see your media available for import from the iPhone 4 when you click on the iPhone 4 in the devices list. |

I've come upon this topic before, looking for solutions (similar problems) and I have a Macbook and iPhone4. A 2GB movie was transferred easily through windows 7 which was bootcamped, recognizing the phone as a simple USB device directly, without any aid. That turned out to be my solution.
Hope it helps somehow. Cheers. |

Fixed This Problem For Myself
Use the original USB cable (white one that came with the phone). I was trying to import movies using a cheap aftermarket 3rd party cable and I was getting the same error message. I switched to the original cable and it worked perfectly. You're welcome.

Large movie (3.9 GB) from iPhone 5
I had the same issues describe in this thread for my new iPhone 5 connected to a Mac AND had the same set of error messages.
I resolve two issues: 1- file would not transfer because I was short on disk-space on cpu - solution, save to external drive. This may not be the source of the error for the original post, but I had a message saying that there was an error initially with syncing the iPhone with iTunes where it did not say why the sync failed. 2- I used ImageCapture, but NOT the import button. I simply used drag-and-drop on to my external drive. ImageCapture showed that the file was being transferred, as it does with the normal import mode. The move opened and played. There were some stripes on the video (possible compression issues) so I retransferred the 3.9 GB file and the movie played flawlessly. I hope that this helps. |

Can't move .mov
When using image capture - click on video and it should open in QuickTime. Go to File> Export> and re-export video from there. Much easier

Like skateboards and scooters, California has launched another fast-spreading fad: hotel energy surcharges. What started as a reaction to the energy crisis in California has caught on around the country. Major chains such as Hilton, Starwood, Marriott, Hyatt, and Wyndham are adding surcharges of $2, $2.50, even $3 per day to help them cope with what everyone hopes will be a temporary surge in energy costs.
What's a planner to do? You might think about not paying.
"I put energy surcharges in the same category as resort fees and coffee fees," says James Goldberg, a partner with Goldberg & Associates PLLC, Washington, D.C. "Any fee that is mandatory in nature and applied post-contract amounts to an increase in room rate and, in my opinion and from a legal standpoint, that amounts to a breach of contract." He advises planners to talk with someone in a decision-making position, such as a director of sales or general manager, and tell them you won't pay the surcharge.
"If the hotel says, 'Our system won't allow us to delete the charge,' say, 'Fine. Reduce the room rate by the same amount,'" says Goldberg.
He advises planners to add two provisions to their contracts to prevent future surcharges and fees for any reason:
A provision stating that no fees will be incurred unless they are disclosed to and agreed upon by the planner.
A provision that says that the hotels will not apply any policies to the meeting that haven't been disclosed to and agreed upon by the planner.
The first should cover the full range of fees a hotel might apply. The second, he says, will help you avoid "policy statements that contain those little gems that end up costing you money."

The end of the 20th century marked the beginning of an era marked by increased accountability in education. The Title II Reporting State Reporting User Manual (2004) presents an overview of the background and procedures required by education programs, individual states and the federal government to report on efforts toward producing highly qualified teachers: Good teaching is key to student achievement. As the public demands improved schools and increased student achievement, teachers' knowledge and skills are more important than ever before. More than half of the 2.2 million teachers that America's schools will need to hire over the next 10 years will be first-time teachers, and they will need to be well-prepared for the challenges of today's classrooms. For these reasons, the nation's attention has increasingly focused on the role that institutions of higher education and states play in ensuring that new teachers have the content knowledge and teaching skills they need to teach all students to high standards In October 1998, Congress voiced its concern for the quality of teacher preparation by enacting Title II of the Higher Education Act (HEA). Title II authorizes new federal grant programs that support the efforts of states, institutions of higher education, and their school district partners to improve the recruitment, preparation, and support of new teachers. Title II also includes new accountability measures in the form of reporting requirements for institutions and states on teacher preparation and licensing. Section 207 of Title II requires the annual preparation and submission of three reports on teacher preparation and licensing: one from institutions to states, a second from states to the U.S. Secretary of Education, and a third from the Secretary to Congress and the public. The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics has prepared this Reference and Reporting Guide for all institutional, state, and testing organization personnel who will participate in this public reporting of information. Higher education institutions began gathering data (from the previous academic year) in 2001, and every year thereafter. Complete information is available in the Wilkes University Education Department Office.

In addition to the free 'Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games' online resources, the Millennium Mathematics Project has also developed a Maths of Sport Roadshow for schools, suitable for KS2, 3 and 4 (Years 4 to 9), which can be booked to visit schools for a special maths event.
The Maths of Sport Roadshow explores some of the underlying mathematics of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Students compete in teams in the Maths Pentathlon or Maths Triathlon events: a carousel of five or three hands-on mathematical activities focused on Olympic and Paralympic sports and infrastructure planning and design. The hands-on activities put into practice students' knowledge of number, calculation, shape, space and measures, data handling and representation, strategy and teamwork. The teams' results are discussed and analysed towards the end of the session before announcing the bronze, silver and gold winning teams.
How it works, and how many students can be involved?
There are two options for the Maths of Sport Roadshow - the Maths Triathlon or the Maths Pentathlon. It is possible to create a combination of both these formats to suit your timetable. The activities demand concentration and co-operation from all team members: most successful sessions involve pupils of mixed or higher ability, and/or have older or more able pupils as peer assistants.
Format 1 - the Maths Pentathlon
The Maths Pentathlon is a carousel of five hands-on maths activities. The format involves sessions of approximately 2 hours with up to 30 students at a time, arranged in 5 teams. The Maths Pentathlon is suitable for Y7 to Y10, with a maximum of two sessions in a whole day.
Format 2 - the Maths Triathlon
The Maths Triathlon is a carousel of three hands-on maths activities. The format involves sessions of approximately 1 hour 15 mins with up to 36 students at a time, arranged in 6 teams, with a maximum of four sessions in a full day. The Maths Triathlon is more suitable for Y4 to Y7, or if you wish to fit in more sessions to reach a larger number of students in a single day.
Venue and equipment needed
A large space for 30 students to move freely around five activity stations will need to be available. A projector screen and power source will also be required. Download a suggested floorplan for the Maths Triathlon and floorplan for the Maths Pentathlon.
Costs and booking
The cost for a Maths of Sport Roadshow visit is £595 for a full day, plus travel costs (charged at 45p/mile from Cambridge) and accommodation where necessary. Cancellation costs apply (please see our cancellation policy).
To make a booking please complete and return a booking form. To check date availability, or for any other queries, please contact Susan Hickman Pinder, MMP Schools Outreach Officer.
The Maths of Sport Roadshow complements and builds on the Millennium Mathematics Project's experience with the existing highly successful Hands-On Maths Roadshow, Risk and Probability Show and Enigma Project.
Feedback from schools
"New innovative ways of challenging students in Maths. Very interesting and fun experience for the students." Coláiste Pobail Setanta, Dublin
"It was interesting to see how our students could meet many different maths concepts in a short space of time and seeing how motivated the tasks made the students. A very worthwhile experience for my students. It introduced them to many new maths concepts without them even realising it!" Coláiste Pobail Setanta, Dublin
"Motivational, engaging and fun!" Liss Junior School
"A real challenge for all the children whatever their ability as they were all able to work out he challenges together using team work. ... The children have undoubtedly gained from the session and it has helped them to understand how important the process of working systematically is to a successful investigation." Liss Junior School
"I learnt different ideas for my own teaching. My students were engaged and on task – a very unusual thing for this group especially for 2 hours!" Pleckgate High School
"Fantastic chance to learn maths outside the classroom that was very useful and engaging." Oundle School

[JURIST] The Indiana State Senate [official website] voted 39 to 10 Monday to pass a state constitutional amendment defining marriage to be between a man and a woman. While same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive] is already illegal in the state under its enactment of the Defense of Marriage Act [text], supporters of SJ 7 [text; resolution digest] say an amendment is necessary should a court overturn the statute. The proposal would change Article 1 of the state constitution to read:
(a) Marriage in Indiana consists only of the union of one man and one woman. (b) This Constitution or any other Indiana law may not be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents of marriage be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.

A stunning sound bar but not quite for audiophiles
Sound bars have a reputation for being a cheap and convenient home audio option that may not wow you with their sound, but hit that critical level of "good enough."
Sony's new HT-ST7 ($1,300) wants nothing to do with good enough. It's marketed as a high-end, performance-driven system that offers serious sound quality for those who still want the simplicity of a sound bar. Visually the HT-ST7 is a stunner, with brushed metal details and a heft that clearly differentiates it from plasticky budget bars. It's also packed with features, including three HDMI inputs, … Read more

The Sysadmin's Toolbox: iftop
Who's using up all the bandwidth, and what are they doing? Use iftop to find out.
Longtime system administrators often take tools for granted that they've used for years and assume everyone else has heard of them. Of course, new sysadmins join the field every day, and even seasoned sysadmins don't all use the same tools. With that in mind, I decided to write a few columns where I highlight some common-but-easy-to-overlook tools that make life as a sysadmin (and really, any Linux user) easier. My last article covered sar, a tool you can use to collect and view system metrics over time. This time, I discuss a program that's handy for viewing real-time network performance data: iftop.
Anyone who's had to use a network at a conference has experienced what happens when there just isn't enough network bandwidth to go around. While you are trying to check your e-mail, other people are streaming movies and TV shows, downloading distribution install disks, using p2p networks, upgrading their distributions or watching cat videos on YouTube. Although it's certainly frustrating to try to use one of those networks, imagine how frustrating it would be to be the admin in charge of that network. Whether you run a conference network, a local office network or even a Web server at your house, it can be really nice to know what is using up all of your bandwidth.
iftop is a Linux command-line program designed to give you live statistics about what network connections use the most bandwidth in a nice graphical form. As you may realize from the name, iftop borrows a lot of ideas from the always-useful load troubleshooting tool top. Like top, iftop updates automatically every few seconds, and like top, by default, it sorts the output you see by what's using the most resources. Where top is concerned with processes and how much CPU and RAM they use, iftop is concerned with network connections and how much upload and download bandwidth they use.
Even though iftop is packaged for both Red Hat- and Debian-based distributions, it's probably not installed by default, so you will need to install the package of the same name. In the case of Red Hat-based distributions, you might have to pull it down from a third-party repository. Once it's installed, the simplest way to get started is just to run iftop as the root user. iftop will locate the first interface it can use and start listening in on the traffic and display output similar to what you see in Figure 1. To close the program, press q to quit just like with top.
Figure 1. iftop output—the IPs have been smudged to protect the innocent.
At the very top of the screen is a scale that goes along with the bar graph iftop might display with each connection. The next rows of output correspond to each network connection between a pair of hosts. In between the two hosts are arrows that let you know the direction the traffic is flowing. The final three columns provide average bandwidth for each connection during the last 2, 10 and 40 seconds, respectively. So for instance, the very top connection in Figure 1 has averaged around 2.83Mb during the last 2 seconds, 3.32Mb during the last 10 seconds and 3.11Mb during the last 40 seconds. Underneath all the transmit and receive columns at the bottom of the screen are a series of statistics for overall transmitted and received traffic (TX and RX, respectively) including 2-, 10- and 40-second averages for both those and, finally, the totals for the interface.
Note: if you have a server with multiple interfaces, you may want iftop
to monitor a different interface from the default. Just add
by the interface to monitor when you launch iftop. For instance, to
monitor eth2, I would type iftop -i eth2
Disable DNS Lookups
By default, when you run iftop, it will try to translate all of the
IP addresses into hostnames. Sometimes this can be useful if you are
diagnosing issues on a local network; however, like with a lot of other
network diagnostics tools, resolving all of those IPs can slow down the
program and also may contribute to the traffic you see in the output. The
solution is to run iftop with the -n
argument, so it just shows you IP
addresses for everything (you always can run a DNS query against an IP
you are interested in, in another window). Alternatively, if you already
have iftop running, you can press n to disable DNS lookups.
Show Port Data
When you run iftop on a server that might serve multiple purposes, it can be handy to know whether all of that upstream traffic is accessing your Web server, your mail server or something else. Alternatively, if you are trying to figure out what's using up all of your download bandwidth, it can be handy to see whether the top connections are Web connections or some rsync job you have running. To figure all of this out, iftop allows you to toggle the port display on and off. Press the p key while iftop is running, and it will display the ports used for both the source and destination IP for all traffic.
The one big downside to showing both the source and destination ports used for a connection is that you'll find in many cases you are concerned only with one or the other. For instance, if you are running a Web server, you may notice that a lot of traffic is going to your Web port (labeled www in iftop), but all of the ports used by IPs accessing your Web server use all sorts of high ports. In that case, you can press either S or D to toggle the display of either source or destination ports, respectively. Figure 2 shows an example of iftop output where I've chosen to display only the source ports.
Figure 2. iftop with only the source ports displayed.
For me, the really great thing about iftop is that it's a relatively simple command-line tool. It's true that a number of other programs exist that can provide fancy Web-based graphs of your network traffic, and I think those are great for trending network data just like they are for trending system load and other metrics. What I like about iftop is the same thing I like about top—when there's a problem, you can get instant real-time data about your system that updates as the situation progresses.

Why didn't I have this earlier?
I used to work in a school environment where we'd always have a heck of a time trying to figure who's streaming what due to our poor network policies. We'd have kids streaming videos and hogging up all the bandwidth and the network admin couldn't figure out where and why. If only this was around then, we'd be able to see exactly who's watching the cat videos on Youtube. Haha.
Cool catch!
Ron,thanks for sharing. I manage a web server from home with Wordpress and even with the server super protected, I can still see the sophisticated attack attempts. These tools help me to know what it's out there and when a DOS attack attempt is taking place. I took the server down because I did a new install using 64 Bits OS, so more than 3 Gigs of ram can be recognized. Because of my security concerns, it is taking me a long time to implement all measurements I can use, especially using ssl and protecting the phpmyadmin by all means. I know that is the main target on my server. These types of tools help me a lot. They also help me to be more conscious at work. Cheers!
I hadn't used iftop before, and was unfamiliar with it.
Thanks for this article! :)
iftop no go with IPv6
Sadly iftop doesn't tap into IPv6 traffic.
Iftop does ipv6
Yes,it already does. iftop-1.0pre2 supports ipv6.
Usefulness on a LAN
Question: to get useful information about how much bandwidth different users (on different machines) are using on a LAN, how would you use this?
I guess I think you'd have to install iftop on each user's machine and then collect the data from each of those machines somehow?
At the present time, I use a FREESCO gateway on my LAN, but I plan to make that go away. Until it goes away, I guess I might install iftop on the gateway, but later???
For LAN monitoring I use top
For LAN monitoring I use top and port mirroring on my switches. When I only want to monitor WAN traffic I mirror the switch port connected to my border router to another switch port and plug that into a box running top. It gives a fantastic breakdown of usage. When I'm working on internal issues I Split mirror all ports to a couple ports and connect them to the monitoring machine.
err ntop not top. Silly
err ntop not top. Silly phone autocorrect.
nethogs tool still looks more
nethogs tool still looks more usable to me
What about those servers which iftop cannot be installed on?
Here is what I usually use and it's out of the box:
ethtool -S eth0
netstat –s
netstat -i
cat /proc/net/dev
ifconfig eth0
sar -n DEV 1 3
Fantastic! Just what I needed!
iftop and iptraf is just the kind of tool that I needed! This is awesome. Thanks a million!!!! Yummy!
I didn't know about iftop. Instead, I use iptraf which has quite a few fancy features in addition to the real time useful display. I often need to log into a server and find out who is hogging all the bandwidth. But since I myself am logged in, I can't include my ssh connection or the results get silly. With iptraf, I can filter that out or set display update intervals to minimize it.
While covering interesting tops, don't forget about iotop which looks at disk io usage.
Holy crap iptraf is awesome!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Help & advice: Buying guide to beds
Buying guide to beds
How to buy a beautiful bed, and smart tips for choosing divans, bunk beds, bedsteads and headboards.
Rest easy, Homebase has a dreamy range of beds - from double beds to single beds, sofabeds to futons.
When should I buy a new bed?
Is your guest bed buckling, your futon flagging? Experts at the British Sleep Council say beds should be replaced every 10 years. So if you're not sleeping so great or the mattress is looking a bit tatty, this could be your wake-up call to buy a new bed!
Guide to size
Measure up before you buy and take into account doorways, access to your wardrobes, and the position of existing bedroom furniture.
Standard bed sizes
Imperial | Metric(people) | |
Single | Single 3ft(w)*6ft 3ins(1) | 90cm(w)*190cm(1) |
Double | 4ft 6ins(w)*6ft 3ins(1) | 135cm (w)*190cm(1) |
King size | 5ft (w)*6ft 6ins(1) | 150cm (w)*200cm(1) |
Super king size | 6ft (w)*6ft 6ins(1) | 180cm (w)*200cm(1) |
Choosing divan beds
You can choose between two main types of divan bed base:
- Platform top divan bases have a rigid fixed top for a firmer experience.
- Sprung edge divan bases are sprung across the top, making your bed feel bouncier and more luxurious.
A popular size is the double divan bed. Compared to the king size divan, it uses a little less space so is good for smaller rooms.
And here are your storage options:
Divans offer plenty of mattress options, from medium to firm, so you can pick the level of comfort that's just right for you. Whether you're after a single mattress or a double mattress, our mattresses buying guide will help you decide.
Most divan beds don't include headboards so you have the flexibility to choose your own style.
Headboard options
Our headboards will set your bedroom off a treat. You'll love the range of colours and finishes from faux suede and faux leather to wood, metal and chrome. Slotting easily into place, they're the perfect finishing touch to your bedroom scheme.
Look for added details such as built-in or clip-on side tables and lockers, and attached lights for reading.
Choosing a bedstead
Available in wood, metal, leather or fabric-covered designs, bedsteads feature a slatted wooden base to accommodate the mattress of your choice.
You can get Homebase bedframes separately, or save money by buying the frame and mattress together as a package.
By the way, slatted bases are great for ventilating your mattress but still give you firm support.
Need a spot of storage under your bed? Check the height of the frame from the floor, and try handy options such as under-bed sliding drawers.
And you'll like this...bedsteads are generally flat-packed for simple self-assembly so they're easy to manoeuvre in your home.
Electric adjustable beds
Adjustable beds - for sheer luxury lying down! You get total control over your sleeping or resting position at the touch of a button.
Using an easy-to-reach hand-held control panel, you can position each section independently. So you'll find the perfect set-up for sleeping, reading, watching TV or simply relaxing.
Electric adjustable beds are also ideal for anyone with a medical condition that makes sleeping difficult, or for those with limited mobility.
They're available in single, double, divan or bedstead options. For safety, look for a splash-proof motor and end clops to ensure the mattress stays in position when the bed head is raised.
Bunk beds and high sleepers
Lots of fun for children and ideal for small rooms, bunk beds and high sleepers make the most of your floor space while creating extra sleeping options.
Standard bunk beds feature two single-size bed areas, while triple bunk beds have a double-size lower bunk area with a single bunk above - perfect for sleepovers!
Need some flexibility? Look for bunk beds you can split into two single beds. Left or right option ladder fixings give you greater freedom when positioning your bunk bed.
High sleepers double up bed space with combinations of seating areas, a desk, workstation, bookcase, wardrobe, drawers, or even slides, playhouses and tented areas.

In "More Travelers Hitting the Roads in North Carolina," BlueRidgeNow reported that more than 1.1 million NC motorists drove more than 50 miles from home, up 11 percent from last year, according to estimates from AAA Carolinas. And despite a state-wide shift of people preferring to drive rather than fly, the Asheville Regional Airport bucked the trend, with 4,157 pre-booked flights from Nov. 24 through Nov. 28, compared to 2,914 for that time period last year.
"This increase really does mimic the increases we've been experiencing for the past year," explained Tina Kinsey, ARA Marketing and Public Relations Director. "With the addition of several non-stop flights, we've been experiencing record growth in 2010."
The article also revealed that drivers who filled their tanks locally paid more for gas than anyone else in the state. The highest average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was in Asheville at $2.85, up 22 cents over Thanksgiving 2009, according to AAA Carolinas.
Sadly, not everyone in Western North Carolina was able to afford the costs of travel this year – or much of any Thanksgiving celebration at all.
In the cover story, "Going Hungry: Many in Region, Particularly Children, Are Doing Without for Thanksgiving," the Smoky Mountain News reported that North Carolina ranks second in the number of children and adults who are food insecure. "That essentially means that these are children who literally do not know where their next meal will come from," explained Lynn Harvey, Child Nutrition Director for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
The article reported that according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, around 15 percent of the nation — 17.5 million people — are struggling to put food on the table, which translates into scores of children depending on outside sources of food to stave off their hunger. Often times that assistance comes in the form of free or reduced lunches at public schools.
To get free lunch through the federal government's National School Lunch Program, a family must be living at or below 130 percent of the national poverty level, according to the article. For a family of four, that's $28,665 this year. In Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties, more than half of public school students qualify.
Man down
In another sobering cover story ahead of the holiday season, last week the Asheville Citizen-Times reported that "Fallen Soldier's Body Arrives in Asheville." The flag-draped casket of Army Pfc. Christian "Kade" Michael Warriner was greeted at the Asheville Airport by more than 100 family members, friends and members of the Patriot Guard Riders motorcycle group. Warriner, of Mills River, was one of five soldiers killed Nov. 14 when their unit came under fire by insurgents in Kunar Province in Afghanistan, according to the article. He joined the Army in July 2009.
In a separate post, the daily paper also rounded up the "Asheville-area military deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan." According to the article,14 Western North Carolina members of the military have been killed in the line of duty since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001.

The history of corporate reorganization is littered with failed attempts to transform General & Administrative (G&A) functions and making them more strategic and lean. Research results show that the cost of many G&A processes can be reduced up to 70-80% while improving quality and risk profile.
But historical evidence also shows that centralizations of services via internal shared services or offshore captives, and BPO have all been plagued by the same problem: lack of sufficient process harmonization and consequent insufficient scale which in turn degrades cost and quality, and increases the risk of implementation.
