When Björk Met Attenborough: The Icelandic punk, the national treasure and a display of rather remarkable human behaviour
Ahead of the airing of a documentary made with the acclaimed naturalist, the eccentric musician tells Sarah Morrison how the pair found common ground in each other's fields

She is the Icelandic "punk anarchist" with a love for eclectic music and bonkers fashion; he is Britain's greatest living naturalist and an established national treasure.
Despite diametrically-opposed careers, Björk and Sir David Attenborough are the latest showbiz collaborators. They first met in the 1990s, and have teamed up to make a documentary on the world of "nature, technology and music" which airs on Saturday.
Taking a break from her latest tour, Björk told The Independent that Sir David, who is 40 years her senior, was a constant inspiration. "I have learned so incredibly many things from him," she said. "This man is a natural teacher. Apart from the things in nature he has introduced me to, I appreciate his enthusiasm and his hope has always been inspiring to me."
And it seems the naturalist is a fan of the singer's work too. In the Channel 4 documentary When Björk Met Attenborough: The Nature of Music the 87-year-old broadcaster told her: "I put on your music when I really want to think about something." He added: "Your music is so challenging … because it does require thought…so much of what you do is completely new, [and] hasn't been done before."
The documentary was inspired by Björk's Biophilia album and multimedia project. Sir David narrated its accompanying iPad suite and has provided spoken introductions to performances. Björk said he did not need much persuading to get involved.
"I simply asked him if he would be interested in collaborating on Biophilia and he said 'Yes!'" she said. Once you delve into the project a little deeper, it is easy to see why. The broadcaster explains how the structure of music can mirror that of nature – for example in its use of symmetry.
He described music as something "used by humanity to take us beyond territory, beyond success; into something that is transcendental." He added: "It is an essential part of what makes us human. It has something very profound; it provides a profound reaction in us all."
He enters more familiar territory when discussing music in nature. "The more beautiful the bird, the simpler its music," he said. "The lyrebird song is probably the most complex bird song, ever…If you listen in the bush in southern Australia, you may think you're surrounded by 10 different species. But they're all actually made by that lyrebird singing 10 songs."
He described current pop music as "hugely sexual" and even lets slip that if he were not one of the world's most famous broadcasters, he would like to try his hand at academia. "I wish I was a mathematician," he said. "I know a mathematician would talk about the beauty of an equation. And you can sense that when you hear a five-part fugue by Bach, which also has a mathematical beauty."
As for Björk, her inspiration has always been closely linked to her surroundings. "I would walk 40 minutes to school and back [in] any weather, and my little way of dealing with that was just sort of sing … So for me the line blurs so easily between music and nature because that's almost like the same thing for me," she said.
Ian Cross, professor of music and science at the University of Cambridge, said: "If there has to be something about music on television on a Saturday evening, I'd rather hear the views of Björk and David Attenborough than those of the music hedge fund manager Simon Cowell."

Jonah Goldberg: Obama's health care lie freaks Democrats
In an oft-repeated vow, he told the country that "if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
The first refuge is that he was simply being "unclear." The "White House could have been clearer in laying the groundwork for this political argument," writes The Washington Post's Greg Sargent. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., says, "I think we should have been more precise." The New York Times' editorial board says, "Obama clearly misspoke when he said that."
Some people already know they don't think the new plans are better. In many cases, they're more expensive with higher deductibles and stiffer co-pays. Better for the consumer and better for bureaucrats or progressive social planners don't always mean the same thing.
If a landlord promises you can keep your dog when you move into an apartment, but then after you sign the lease he takes your dog and replaces it with a stuffed one, he wasn't telling you the truth. The landlord's view that the new dog is better ("No mess! No noise!") is utterly irrelevant to the question of whether the landlord lied — and it doesn't make you a fool for preferring your old dog, either.
Jonah Goldberg is the author of "The Tyranny of Cliches," now on sale in paperback. You can write to him by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or via Twitter @JonahNRO.

While not officially announced by the promotion,
Nova Uniao leader Andre
Pederneiras confirmed Monday to Sherdog.com that his fighter
has entered the UFC welterweight ranks. Word of Ramos' signing was
first reported by Brazilian website Tatame.com.
Ramos takes the place of the injured Mike Swick,
who was forced to withdraw from his bout with Silva last week after
suffering tears of both the anterior cruciate and medial collateral
ligaments in his left knee.
An MMA veteran of nearly a decade, the 30-year-old Beicao has lost
only one of his last seven starts, a contentious unanimous decision
defeat to UFC vet Roan "Jucao"
Carneiro last October. Since then, Ramos has won three in a
row, conquering Watch Out Combat Show's one-night April tourney
before recording a July 23 throttling of Dimitri
Silva, 27, will also make his first trip to the Octagon in Rio.
Widely considered one of Brazil's finest prospects, the X-Gym
representative claimed the welterweight title of top Brazilian
promotion Jungle Fight last October by submitting Gil de
Freitas and Francisco
Ayon in a single evening. Silva has finished nine of his 12
victims and has not been halted in 13 professional outings.

Since first being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, Congresswoman Renee Ellmers has become a leading voice on behalf of her constituents in the second district and the people of North Carolina. Ellmers currently sits on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee where she focuses on healthcare, oversight, and communications and technology in their respective subcommittees. She is also chairwoman of the Republican Women's Policy Committee (RWPC) – a new caucus comprised of all 19 female Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives. In both of these roles she is working to generate new ideas and innovative ways of promoting conservative principles which will improve our economy and give a new voice to the challenges facing all Americans.
Congresswoman Renee Ellmers is a rising star and leader in the U.S. House of Representatives where she works to promote common sense policies geared toward protecting liberty, protecting the free enterprise system, and limiting the growth of the federal government. As a former nurse, small business owner, mother and Member of Congress, she works each and every day to make our nation live up to its creed as the guardian of liberty and foundation for prosperity.
Before her election to Congress, Renee served as a registered nurse for over twenty-one years, initially as a surgical intensive care nurse and then focusing on surgical and wound care patients along with her husband Dr. Brent Ellmers in their General Surgery practice. She never saw herself as a politician, nor dreamed that she would be elected to federal office, but felt the call to action as she saw her industry and life's work coming under attack. In 2009, she and her husband attended a town hall meeting on President Obama's health care plan and came away distraught over the government's impending takeover of patients' rights and access to health care.
Congresswoman Ellmers has always been a proactive leader in her community, where she instinctively incorporated new solutions and innovative tactics to make people's lives better. Before her election to Congress, Ellmers had been a champion of community affairs by being very active in the Dunn Chamber of Commerce, reaching the level of President-Elect. She has also served on the Dunn Planning Board, a founding Board Member of the Betsy Johnson Hospital Foundation and the Harnett County Nursing Home Committee.
Originally born and raised in Michigan, Congresswoman Ellmers received her nursing degree from Oakland University. Mrs. Ellmers and her husband Brent moved to North Carolina following the birth of their son Ben and have resided in Harnett County ever since.

Overnight Open Thread (5-24-2012)
If you want to go visit the International Space Station these days, the only way is through Baikonur. In fact Russia and China are the only countries currently that are capable of launching humans into orbit.
Baikonur, Russia's primary space launch facility since the 1950s, is the largest in the world, and supports multiple launches of both manned and unmanned rockets every year. With the U.S. manned space program currently on hold, Baikonur is now the sole launching point for trips to the ISS.
But before you get too depressed the good news is that privately-owned SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was successfully launched on Wednesday and is on track to dock at the ISS tomorrow and deliver supplies.
And if you were wondering why it's taking so long to get there, well the answer is that all approaching ships must pass a series of tests:
No craft is allowed near the ISS without a battery of tests to show that the crew is in control and the capsule won't crash into the station, so the flight will be marked by a series of such demonstrations by SpaceX, such as testing the Dragon's GPS system and showing off its ability to veer away from the station if the docking procedure were to go awry.
And Scotty has finally made it into space. Longtime ONTers will also know why he had to use a hand double during transporter scenes.
The whole Brétt Kìmberlin episode is no joking matter so please don't make it any easier for BK to find a pretext to sue ace by making gratuitously nasty comments about him:
Now, when he eventually does sue me, I am of course counterclaiming for everything he might still have, as well as having a special master appointed to keep track of any payouts to him from his, um, charities, so that any judgment is satisfied (and not evaded, as a previous victim judgment was).
Liberals Choose More Conservative Names?
And conservatives choose trendier ones according to BabyNameWizard.com:
Styles of baby names, it seems, are nearly as different in various parts of the country as voting habits. "There is an enormous red state and blue state divide on names," says Laura Wattenberg, founder of BabyNameWizard.com and author of The Baby Name Wizard, which claims to be "the expert guide to baby name style."
But later she offers an explanation for the difference:
The reason for more outlandish-sounding names cropping up in conservative quarters is simple, Wattenberg says. Women in red states tend to have their first children earlier than women in blue states. A 23-year-old mom is more likely to come up with something out of the ordinary than one who is 33.
6 Ridiculous Lies You Believe About the Founding of America
Well not so much 'lies' as fibs and misinformation that live on because they make a much better narrative-compatible story.
There's a pretty important detail our movies and textbooks left out of the handoff from Native Americans to white European settlers: It begins in the immediate aftermath of a full-blown apocalypse. In the decades between Columbus' discovery of America and the Mayflower landing at Plymouth Rock, the most devastating plague in human history raced up the East Coast of America. Just two years before the pilgrims started the tape recorder on New England's written history, the plague wiped out about 96 percent of the Indians in Massachusetts.
And then there's epic story of Squanto who much more than just some helpful local guide:
Squanto had been kidnapped from Cape Cod as a child and sold into slavery in Spain. He escaped like the boy Maximus he was, and spent his better years hoofing it west until he hit the Atlantic Ocean. Deciding that swimming back to America would take too much time, he learned enough English to convince someone to let him hitch a ride to "the New World." When he finally got back home, he found his town deserted. The plague had swept through two years before, taking everyone but him with it.
And yeah yeah I know that Iron Eyes Cody wasn't really an indian either.
High tech for consumers sure was expensive back then. Now most of us carry video cameras in our pockets capable of broadcasting an event for about the same price.
Garrett McNamara, a 44-year-old Hawaii pro surfer caught this wave off the coast of Nazaré Portugal in November 2011. It was 78 feet high and the Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed this is a new record for the largest wave ever surfed.
"The government of a Middle Eastern state is recruiting a senior torturer to work in a well-equipped prison. Our ideal candidate would be prepared to inflict extreme pain and suffering. Candidates will be expected to inspire a small but enthusiastic team."
Well with all the régimes falling in the middle east it's no surprise that there's been a shakeup in the excruciation industry as well. But in chaos there's always opportunities opening up for go-getters who aren't squeamish and are willing to learn new skills.
Yahoo group. That is all.

ANKARA (Reuters) - Four Iranian border guards have been freed in Pakistan two months after being seized by al Qaeda-linked militants on the countries' lawless frontier, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported on Friday.
Fars quoted Iranian lawmaker Esmail Kosari announcing the news. It did not give any details of when the release took place or what brought it about.
The abduction in early February heightened regional and sectarian tensions. Iran had said the guards were taken into Pakistan and it threatened to send troops over the border to retrieve them.
The kidnapping was claimed by Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), a Sunni Muslim rebel group operating in predominantly Shi'ite Muslim Iran's Sistan-Baluchistan province, which borders Pakistan. The movement said it had killed a fifth member of the group of guards in March.
"Four of the five abducted Iranian border guards have been handed over to Iranian embassy officials in Pakistan," Fars quoted Kosari as saying.
Iran's Students News agency ISNA quoted a statement from Jaish al-Adl saying "Sunni clerics' mediation led to the guards' release ... as a sign of our goodwill".
Fars also said the body of a slain guard had been handed over to officials of Tehran's embassy in Pakistan.
The Pakistani government had repeatedly said there was no evidence the Iranian guards were on its territory. The Iranian government accused its neighbour of not doing enough to free the men and of supporting the rebels.
Pakistan authorities could not confirm the release of the abducted guards.
"They have not been released in Pakistan. We don't know where they were kept or released…we have no indication that these Iranian border guards were kept in Pakistan," Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told Reuters.
Iranian media in October reported killing of 14 Iranian border guards by the same group near the border town of Saravan.
The border region is also rife with drug and arms traffickers.

All the articles in Arts, Entertainment & Media
Is it possible that a song on the radio can transmit the longing for 'something beyond' of one human being, the writer/singer/musician, through time and space, to the heart of another, the listener? How might this work? How common is it? Is it an exception or something everyday? How, through the paraphernalia of the world's most fashion-context business, through countless wires and connections, underneath the surface qualities of hipness and attitudinizing, might the desiring of the artist for something that is almost always unstated, be preserved and communicated? This is the question at the heart of our exhibition, "3 Chords and a Longing for the Truth: Rock 'n' roll as a quest for the Infinite " at the 2012 Meeting of Rimini in a few weeks' time. Although its roots are in the sorrow, pain, labour, loss and heartbreak of the human journey, recent pop culture has contrived to 'forget' its beginnings, creating a bubble of commerce and attitude to hide for its founding truths. The roots of most of our contemporary musical forms emerge from Blues and Gospel, forms which stretch the true note between the muddy deltas of human habitation and the glittering firmaments above. Now reduced, outwardly at least, to 'showbusiness' and 'entertainment', the holiness of the song is forced inwards into a closed circuit, a communicating and receiving that becomes mistakable for something else – diversion, avoidance, entertainment – and so capable of being denied in its true nature. The exhibition will seek to show that this attempt towards reduction is in many instances unsuccessful – that the core communication, 'heart to heart", between the artist and the listener, continues to occur and represents the very core of the experience that attracts us to this music. "3 Chords and a Longing for the Truth" will demonstrate and celebrate the presence of human desiring as the fundamental driving force of the music that continues to captivate the young, using examples of songs and artists that span the total history of the medium, those who have remained among the greatest modern performers and their inheritors who promise to carry the mission forward. It will seek to trace the unspoken journey that really explains the power and popularity of this music – from its origins of the in Blues and Gospel, right to the present-day practitioners like Coldplay, U2 and Mumford & Sons, who adhere to this original impulse but without seeking to draw attention to what they're doing. The central question will really be: if it is true, as Don Giussani tells us, that desire is always good, what does this mean for us in considering the challenge of the influence of rock 'n' roll in modern culture? Because if what Giussani says is indeed true, it becomes clear that what attracts the young to this music must bear some relationship, to begin with at least, to the true source of human longing and to the nature of human destiny.

You don't need to tell Chance Sisco to let his bat do the talking.
The Orioles' No. 8 prospect went 3-for-4 with a double and four RBIs on Sunday in Class A Delmarva's 10-4 win at Lakewood. He extended his hitting streak to 14 games and raised his South Atlantic League-leading batting average to .353.
"I feel good," Sisco said. "Just going up to the plate, trying to put good at-bats together."
The 2013 second-round pick laced an RBI single to right in the first inning, doubled to right leading off the seventh and cleared the bases with a three-run double to center in the eighth. He grounded out to the shortstop in the third and was intentionally walked in the fifth.
It was Sisco's 13th game this season with at least three hits, fourth with two doubles and third with four RBIs. All four of the runs he drove in Sunday scored with two outs.
During his hitting streak, the 19-year-old catcher is batting .426 (26-for-61) with five doubles, a triple, one homer and 15 RBIs.
A lead in the league batting race might excite some players, but Sisco isn't one of them.
"I mean, it is what it is. My focus isn't on that. My focus is on getting 'W's' and having good at-bats. So, just doing the best that I can at that," he said.
Nor is the California native particularly titillated by his double-digit hitting streak.
"I can't pay much attention to that. Just, like I said, having good at-bats, doing what I can to get on base and help the team win," he said.
Through 72 games, Sisco has assembled a .353/.414/.482 slash line with four homers and 48 RBIs. Defensively, he's thrown out 21 of 92 would-be basestealers (23 percent).
"I'm just looking to improve every day, at the plate and behind the plate," he said. "Everything's going pretty good."
Eight of Delmarva's nine starters recorded at least one hit. Drew Dosch also went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, while Creede Simpson, Conor Bierfeldt and Jared Breen chipped in two hits apiece. Bierfeldt collected three RBIs, while Gregory Lorenzo and Breen each plated one run.
Zach Green, Phillies No. 8 prospect Dylan Cozens and Larry Greene had RBIs for Lakewood.
Shorebirds starter Mitch Horacek (5-8) snapped a personal three-game losing streak, allowing four runs on four hits over six innings. BlueClaws counterpart Tyler Viza (3-13) surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits across five frames.

Man accused in police standoff due in court
A Rogers man accused of threatening his family and trying to start a gun fight with police will be in court Monday morning. Police say he threatened his wife and held his children hostage during a police standoff last month.
The charges in the case against 24-year old Devin Weaver include aggravated assault, domestic battery, and terroristic threatening. Police documents say Weaver hit his wife several times and beat her with a shotgun at his home in Rogers.According to the police report, his wife said her husband was drunk and maybe even on drugs that night at their home in Rogers. She called police, and said she was worried about her own safety as well of that of the couple's two children. One officer reached through the doorway and pulled the wife out of the house and to safety. But the two children were still inside. Other officers were able to talk Weaver into letting the children go.
Police then said Weaver tried to shoot police, but one officer shot him first. The Benton County prosecutor investigated the case and decided the officer was justified in shooting Weaver at the scene.
Weaver was hurt and has since been recovering at Washington Regional Medical Center. He is due in court 8:30 Monday morning.

Worst Pain Imaginable?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 8 2014 5:00AM
Who says "I'll let these bullet ants bite me on purpose?"
No one. Ever. Right?
Wrong. Meet Hamish & Andy, a sort of comedy team from Down Under. They have a TV show in Australia where they do some dumb stunts and then talk about them. Something along the lines of
, maybe.
So, they're in a remote area of South America, and Hamish decides to see how bad the bite of a bullet ant can be. And he sticks his hands into some tribal oven mitts filled with the vicious little creatures, and in a matter of seconds, gets stung a few hundred times.
He says it's the worst pain imaginable. Not counting the humiliation, of course.
Watch the video, just to see how out of hand (sorry, no pun intended) the whole thing got.

49ers wide receiver stepping up for Alex Smith Brad Biggs
Has Michael Crabtree finally arrived for the San Francisco 49ers?
He might argue that happened some time ago, but Crabtree put together a complete effort in Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals, catching seven passes for 120 yards. Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News said his 29-yard gain when he broke four tackles might have been the most outstanding.
Crabtree, the former first-round draft pick, leads the 49ers with 455 receiving yards. No, that's not huge production, but the 49ers haven't been an explosive passing team. His 38 receptions ranks one behind tight end Vernon Davis for the team lead.
"I thought Michael played great," Smith said. "It was one of the best games I've seen him play -- getting the ball in his hands, sparking us, being a playmaker."
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman called Crabtree "inspiring." We'll see what Crabtree inspires come Thursday night when the Baltimore Ravens come calling.

Schlafly Warns Of Amnesty For Polygamous Muslims On Welfare
Phyllis Schlafly appeared on Crosstalk last week, where she went through her usual argument about why Latino immigrants don't make good Americans because they are less likely to vote Republican and hold conservative political views. She told host Jim Schneider that immigrants used to "be proud to be an American" and "became good people," unlike "the people who are coming in now" who "don't agree with the fundamentals of America."
Schlafly also warned that immigration authorities are allowing Muslim immigrants to practice polygamy and have "a bunch of wives who will now go on our welfare." She also agreed with a caller who said that the Obama administration will bring in tens of millions of Muslim immigrants in order to impose Sharia law.
Schlafly: I would like to know if our immigration authorities are letting in people who believe in polygamy. Polygamy is against our law. We've brought in thousands of Muslims; I want to know if they made them sign a pledge to assure they're not bringing in a bunch of wives who will now go on our welfare. Nobody can answer that question, I can't get any answers to that question.
Caller: See anything that Obama's had on the front burner so far has destroyed this country and is ripping it away, and we also can't forget about when we bring in with this amnesty bill these illegal Mexicans and whoever else wants to come in, we're going to bring in 40-50 million Muslims with them all to destroy our constitution. I think people should keep that in mind and we'll be under Sharia law shortly.
Schlafly: It is true. They've brought in lots of Muslims and in fact they've brought a lot into the St. Louis area where I live. Get somebody to answer the question: do you make sure they're not bringing polygamists in?
Just in case where you were wondering where the figure of 40-50 million Muslims comes from, a regular Crosstalk guest Avi Lipkin claims President Obama plans to "bring in 50-100 million Muslims" in order to impose Sharia law.
Responding to another caller who told a story of undocumented immigrants using phony Social Security numbers in order to find employment, Schlafly added that "a lot of them get on the highway drunk and kill people too."
Studies show that immigrants actually have a lower crime rate than native-born Americans.

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need

Pay close enough attention, and you'll smell Jamaican influences in pretty much every club space imaginable. The twin spliffs of dub and dancehall have been sparked again -- remember to thank Jah for the light -- and a wide range of stoners have lined up. Hip-hop kids smoke 'em to escape that long bling trip (Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Timbaland). Dance-rock retro-futurists pick out their seeds of influence from post-punk's little green bag (Select Cuts' awesome comp Wild Dub [Dread Meets Punk Rocker], Out Hud). And G4-wielding sonic terrorists are inhaling their sub-bass bin textures while puffing on garage and jungle beats for maximum combination of bounce and noise (DJ/Rupture, Wasteland, England's yardcore scene).
It's the perfect time to cue entrance music for Kevin Martin, who, as a member of ambient-metal machinists Godflesh and noisy hip-hop beat-miners Techno Animal, spent years smuggling a dub-head's stash to those peeps. In his Bug guise, he fully embraces laptop dancehall production as an extreme sport, inviting some of the UK and the Caribbean's top underground MC's for bong hits. That Pressure, his first full-length under this name, is being released by like-minded extremists Kid 606 (in the U.S.) and Aphex Twin (in Europe), definitely makes sense.
Not everything here is a full-on digital squall. Bug's got more than a bit of dub techno's hippie side to him. Tracks such as "Thief of Dreams," which features Roger Robinson's Rasta spiritualist verses, and "Live & Learn," with Paul St. Hilaire cooing lover 's rock while bass whooshes imitate upskirt maneuvers, are lovely, calmly schizoid bits of populist reggae thought. Whereas Pressure's blasts from the dancehall camp -- particularly on cuts MCed by Daddy Freddy, a gruff-voiced haranguer who once made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's fastest rapper -- are as good as sinister future-funk gets. Lo-fidelity synths rumbling at midlevel, shimmying your bowels in a way that's both frightening and exhilarating: This is sweaty, lights-off-in-a-crowded-basement stylee.
