i don't think i've ever seen these little sparrows with the mohawk feather-do on top!!
you're good...for IDing them.
a friend of mine gave me a bird book...a HUGE book of all North American birds! i love flipping through there and seeing all the birds...but sometimes i dread it when i'm trying to ID one.
ESPECIALLY...since sometimes the juveniles may look like the 'duller' female.
hey, i'm not dull.
nice post!! great sparrow shots!
happy st patty day!

I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that the common sparrow was disappearing (at least in Western Europe) and might be listed among the endangered species! Than after hearing this I realsied that i had seen any in ages...

- ShySongbird said...
Well captured Chris, what pretty little birds they are! We only have the two types here, the House Sparrow and Tree Sparrow, both sadly in decline particularly the Tree Sparrow which you commented on, on my blog, which has declined extremely severely and which I felt very privileged to see.

ah. thanks for explaining that they were youngsters! i usually see the B&W bike helmeted adults. :)

- Rohrerbot said...
They are a such a common bird here and it's shocking to hear that they are in decline in Europe....plus you have different types of Sparrows. Hopefully it's a natural thing and they'll rebound, but if it's something being caused by pollution, poison, building, etc, it will hopefully be corrected so that you can protect this little guys. I can't imagine a world without them.

- Magpie said...
There are so many different varieties of these little fellows that I am very often confused about who's who...until I remember I just love enjoying them whether I know their name or not. I'm a very slack birder. :)

Great photos of the Sparrows. I definitely find all those kinds of sparrow very confusing. I had a chuckle about your comment of baby sparrow changing "hair" color!

On Leaving The Strong Island & Heading Into The Land of Pleasant Living
I have had this blog post in my head for too long. It's time for me, however I can, to get it out to you. It will be genuine for I haven't put too much thought into it. It will ramble, as my adventures do. It will not be pretty, but it will be real. That much I can say.
When I came to Long Island several years ago, I found a place growing with life and energy. From the hipsters in Brooklyn to brewers and chefs in Greenport, it felt as though everything was coming to a beautiful point of realizing the importance of local artisan food and drink. For me, who had just moved from San Francisco, it felt comfortable and exciting.
This blog emerged from that excitement and grew in many parts due to the relationships that were created through my adventures around the island. The growers, the farmers, the winemakers, the brewers, the chefs, the gardeners, the foodies, the beer geeks, the wine geeks, the media folks, the writers, the photographers...all of them steeped in a similar passion for a place and its creations.
Of course, these people have names and lives. Some work day jobs to pursue their passion on their off time, some have been doing exactly what they love for decades. I have learned so much from all of you, and I cannot thank you enough for the love and attention you gave me, the support and encouragement, the knowledge and insight I gained from you.
And so now (belatedly), I bid all of you farewell.
(That is, until I come up there next spring or summer and start bothering you again for food, wine, and beer).
I move to pursue my own passion for food, community, and place. They call it The Land of Pleasant Living, "Bawdamore", most people call it Baltimore. My wife's family is all from the area, and we met in Annapolis, MD, along the banks of the Chesapeake. I go from one special place to another. Here things are beginning to grow as well...seeds are being planted that I am excited to see blossom.
This blog will adapt and change. It will continue to grow perhaps in a different way, but that is yet to be seen. There's lots of food adventures around the brick-lined corners of Baltimore. So you'll just have to stay tuned and I'll be back with what I've found.

The Legend of The Heady Topper & The Maple Creemee, or A Vermont Food Adventure
However even before we left for the north country, I was given strick orders to bring back as many cans of Heady Topper that I could. For those not surrounded by beer geeks, "Heady Topper," brewed by an equally mystical name - The Alchemist Brewery- is currently rated in the top 5 beers in the world. It's a hefty Imperial India Pale Ale that's loaded with hoppy goodness. Of course, at the time I had no idea what I was about to get myself into to...
Apparently, there's a lot (wait...A LOT) of hype around the Heady Topper. Similar to the likes of Russian River Brewing's Pliny The Elder, also an Imperial IPA, the Heady Topper garners most of its mythic status by both the taste and the incredible inability for people to get their hands on the stuff. Since The Alchemist lost their brewpub in the Vermont floods of 2011, they luckily have been able to reconstruct a new brewing facility, but have struggled to keep up with the unquenchable demand for their Heady Topper.
As I sat on the ferry heading over to Connecticut, I read on their website that they had been selling out whenever they release a new batch and that their disribution had been drawn back to only about 20 miles outside of Waterbury. However, as the legend of tasting this brew took ahold of me, there was no turning back.
The next day after a breakfast of blueberry pancakes with maple syrup, we headed north another two hours from Ludlow. Traveling up Rt. 100 in Vermont is hands down one of the most beautiful drives in America. Small farms, creameries, and towns slipped by as we weaved our way through the hills and mountains. At the same time, remnants of the floods still littered the roadside. In some of the towns hardest hit, whole houses were wiped off their foundations, still dilapidated on rocky flood plains - a tragic juxtaposition to the beauty that surrounded us.
We arrived in Waterbury just after one o'clock and headed for the The Alchemist's Tasting Room. But as we turned into the dirt driveway, the inevitable had come true. A sign was already posted, "Sold Out Of All Heady Topper." It had sold out by 11:20am and they'd opened at 11. Luckily, however, they still had a keg for tastings. So, I headed to the small bar and sipped one of the best beers in the world.
But the quest was far from over. We went to visit with our friends at Cork Wine Bar in the small center of town. Housed in a beautiful brick building, it is completely worth a visit if you're up this way. We chatted for a while over glasses of wine, beers, and a beautiful local charcuterie plate, then headed out of town to a bonfire and barbecue in the woods - VT style partying.
The breakfast spot was classic Vermont - a wine shop meets organic bakery meets coffeeshop. I was focused on getting some coffee as I walked through the door. When all of a sudden, the silver cans caught my eye. I double taked. There in a small beer fridge were three four packs of Heady Topper. Giddy with excitement, I shamelessly bought all of them.
With breakfast and some Heady in the bag, it seemed as though our mission was accomplished, and yet as many food adventures go, another quest was on the horizon. During the prior evening's bonfire, we had been given yet another elusive food quest...to find the classic Vermont Maple Creamee.
Hence this post), but one thing is definite - it must be made with real maple syrup. We had been assured that we could find a spot on Rt. 100, but no one was exactly sure where. So, we set out heading south, our eyes pealed for Creamee signs.
Now there are no shortage of Creemee spots between Waterbury and Ludlow. Believe me, because we stopped AT EVERY SINGLE ONE and I kid you not every single one gave us directions "just down the road" to the next shop that "might have maple creemees." We took ridiculous pictures, enjoyed the cool Green Mountain air, but every spot fueled our undying need to taste this illustrious dessert.
We went through many emotions on that adventure - disappointment, frustration, bewilderment, laughter, tears. It was all we could do to contain our desire for this enigmatic combination of maple and cream. And then on our 6th, maybe 7th, creemee stop, we were directed again "just down the road." I was close to losing it, I told my wife. If this wasn't it, I was folding. She assured me this was it and sure enough (as she is most of the time) she was right.
Think silky cream with the sweet smokiness of real maple syrup. In my book, it's all kinds of perfect.
From the Heady Topper to the Maple Creemee, these are the culinary gems I adventure for. In random snack shacks, wine bar/bakeries, and off the beaten path, these finds are waiting for all of us. The search, the journey, not only makes the find that much sweeter, but it also connects us to the place where they're found. We had driven through beautiful mountains and forests, experienced heartbreak at the sight of the flood disaster, and chatted with a myriad of Creamee shop owners. At the end of a food adventure, there will always be food. What we experience getting there...that's what makes it interesting.

Another Summer North Fork Adventure: From Orient To Jamesport & All In Between, Part III
In my family, we do a lot of talking about eating "on the water." It usually sounds something like this:
"I wish there were more good places on the water."
"Well there's [blank]."
"Yeah, but I don't feel like [blank]. And the scene there is wierd."
"What about [blank]?"
"No, that's too far."
"Yeah, I wish there were more good places on the water."
So, when we're near a spot where you can watch the water, feel the wind, and enjoy a beautiful meal, we jump at the chance. Yes, the rain clouds were gathering, but that wasn't about to stop us from a dinner on the Peconic Bay. Without much debate, after our lunch at Sunset Beach, we found ourselves at one of the best waterside restaurants on Long Island, Scrimshaw, The Waterside Restaurant.
We sat excited to try a whole meal prepared by the traveled and talented Rosa Ross. If you haven't heard of Rosa, you should get to know her. One of the founding members of the James Beard Foundation and international chef extraordinaire, she now graces the small town of Greenport and her guests at Scrimshaw with her unique asian-american inspired cuisine.
As waves lapped against the dock, we decided to start with her braised pork belly steam buns. Now, I'm a huge fan of anything pork belly (as I'm sure most of my readers are) and combined with a perfectly steamed bun, it can be heavenly. The standard for pork buns, in my opinion, are David Chang's at The Momofuku Ssam Bar. Almost melt in your mouth steamed buns give way to salty, smokey pork that is equally as tender. Ross' dish was close. The buns were beautifully steamed, but the portion of pork lost me. While the asian spiced flavor was fabulous, there just wasn't enough of it. Just a bit more, please, Rosa?
I took a sip of my Maker's Manhattan and looked forward to my next course, Crescent Farm duck confit with chard and quinoa.
As it began to sprinkle, we finished up our meal full and pleased with our dining experience. We had a round of coffees, a couple glasses of scotch and were set for the evening. Rustic, yet modern, western, but with an eastern flair, Scrimshaw is completely worth a visit when in Greenport for any foodie looking for the perfect waterfront meal.
This day was dubbed our tasting day and starting from Greenport is always a great way to start a tasting tour of North Fork wineries. Although we didn't have a ton of time, we were able to stop at One Woman Vineyards, Shinn Estate, and thanks to the beautiful Sara at Shinn's recommendation, hit up Grana, an up and coming woodfire pizza spot, in Jamesport.
As we drove up the small dirt path to the little red tasting room at One Woman, I was gitty with excitement to try winemaker Claudia Purita's 2010 Grüner. I had spent the day before reading about it and now my palate was ready to give it a taste.
The small tasting room was a buzz with visitors like ourselves. Claudia popped in and out for a moment, her pruning clippers sheathed on her hip and four wheeler keys clinking against the bar as she chatted with her guests. Our wine was poured by her daughter, who happily told us about each of the vintages.
The Gruner lived up to all my expectations. Slightly peppery aroma gives way to a beautiful texture with hints of citrus on the finish. I was surprised at how well the Gruner complemented the general "grassy" notes of most Long Island whites. While some whites can be overtaken by the terroir's dominant notes, some complement and utilize those notes to round out the flavors of the wine. I'm sure it's mostly the winemaker's skill, but also that the varietal is able to adapt well to Long Island's wet, windy, seaside climate. All in all, the Gruner alone is worth pulling off at One Woman just before you get to Greenport on County Rd. 48.
For our next stop, we headed to Shinn Estate Vineyard, my unabashedly favorite winery on the North Fork. I've been asked several times why I like it so much, and I think it boils down to three things. First is consistency. Their wines are always good. It might not be exactly what I'm looking for at the moment, but they're well balanced and full of complex flavors. Second is their commitment to sustainability. Talk to David Page or Barbara Shinn for a moment and you'll instantly come away more knowledgeable about growing wine biodynamically and sustainably. Not to mention, their tasting room staff are some of the friendliest you'll find. And lastly, it's a beautiful place off the main drag of wine tasting. It is always a breath of fresh air when I take the turn onto Oregon Road.
As the day winded down, we started thinking towards dinner and thanks to the recommendation from the tasting room at Shinn, headed to Grana in Jamesport, a relatively new woodfire pizza/italian restaurant.
I'd spied the restaurant on previous trips, but hadn't known what it was all about. Well, it was worth the find. With a menu boasting homemade pasta and some incredible woodfire pizza recipes, there's something for everyone on the menu. Their wine list is locally focused and offers wine tasters a nice recap on their winery visits. I definitely start craving pizza when I'm wine tasting, and apparently so do many people as the place was packed. Luckily though, we found a table for two and soon we're chowing on a beautiful fig and arugula salad and fennel sausage pizza.
It was the perfect closure to an amazing weekend on the North Fork of Long Island, a place full of passionate people, beautiful wine and food, and a sense of what it means to truly relax and enjoy life to it's fullest.

This amber coloured jam is sweet and tangy in taste. You can make this recipe in less then 5 minutes.This apple jam is not as smooth as other jams but tastes as yummy as others.
Amazing taste.The best thing about this recipe is how fast you can prepare it. I used less sugar coz the apples were sweet itself. Cinnamon and lemon give it a nice flavor. I just made it out of 1 apple, was just trying out the recipe.
Love it, will be making it again.
Thanks to mrs dalal for this wonderful recipe.I tried it today and turned out to be yummy.This is an excellent recipe when fruits get wasted, we can replace apples to mixed fruits to make this yummy jam then it will be mixed fruit jam.

Many people want the Technology Package on the base model Model S, but if you don't want/need the Xenon headlamps, Electrochromatic side mirrors, LED foglights, Convenience lighting, Power rear liftgate, High definition back-up camera, Homelink, and Automatic keyless entry, you can save $3,750 on your Model S. Why? Because you can always go on the internet, go on Google Maps, and get Turn-by-Turn driving directions. Keep in mind that the internet system is STANDARD. But if you REALLY want those extra features, then suit yourself.
Checking the specs page, all MS have keyless entry. That simply means you unlock the doors with the wireless remote. No physical key is required. The door handles popping out as you approach the car with the remote (FOB) on your person is a feature of the Tech package.
All MS come with a security system (alarm) that you can choose to enable or not. It blows the horn.
My 60 Kwh Tesla was delivered on Sunday. It was delivered with the 3G connection on and I discovered that there are really two versions of navigation system. When you set a destination - you get two navigation displays - one overhead view on the 17 inch display with the Google map that looks gorgeous at half or full screen. A second Garmin like tilted perspective navigation screen appears on the instrument cluster display behind the steering wheel occupying about a third of that display on the left or right (it is switchable with media and energy graph displays via steering the steering wheel controls). The speedometer remains in the middle.
I haven't signed up for any data plans so I wasn't to surprised when my 3G connection went away today. I didn't notice anything with navigation right away because the maps on my route to work remain cached. When I drove over to a friends to show off the car I noticed I essentially drove off the google map except for the blue line of my route, but the instrument cluster display still showed roads and voice directions continued. FYI there is a nice effect where the media audio fades to the passenger side and voice directions are pumped to the drivers side speakers. I believe this is where tech package navigation differs from straight up Google Navigation. The tech package navigation system is internet independent and tightly integrated with other car systems.
I originally got on the forums to see about peoples experience with data plans, but I hope this information is useful for folks on the fence about the Tech package. It's a pricey option, but some of the more subtle Wow factor of the car is hidden in it.
@David10 | JANUARY 23, 2013: I haven't signed up for any data plans so I wasn't to surprised when my 3G connection went away today.
My data connection has not gone away and I don't have a data plan yet. I think there will be an announcement from Tesla regarding data plans and a window before the data connection goes away. You may need to reboot your main 17" screen (hold both scroll wheels on the steering wheel down, until the screen reboots).
The navigation android app works great. Maybe you can hear the directions via the car audio? Anyone try that?
Chuck - It's been reported in other threads that the directions from a smartphone can be played through the car audio.
@David10 - you shouldn't have lost your internet connection. Try rebooting your display (press and hold scroll wheels on steering wheel for 10-15 seconds) and you will probably get it back.
There is lots of discussion in these threads about navigating with the tech package and what you can do without the tech package. Your description is not quite correct.
You guys are right 3G was back when I got in the car this morning. Though I did try the reboot last night. Also looks like I'm getting a software update pushed to me in early morning.
You will always get software updates. They're universally free for all MS owners.
Getting back to the navigation issue...
Got my car two days ago - replacing a 2007 LS 460.
The navigation system is underwhelming - much more limited than my LS 460's 6 year old system.
Advantages of the Model S: Garmin display on dashboard, voice command entering of destinations, using phone contacts for destinations, entering destinations while the car is moving, satellite imaging for map, full screen map display.
Disadvantages of the Model S: Real-time traffic data not used for navigation, while navigation is running, the route line overwrites the traffic data so you can't see what is ahead, no waypoints, no way to use the map to adjust your destination (by dragging the destination like in Google maps), poor routing instructions (Lexus provided 3 route choices, plus you could add waypoints to force a specific route), map is always north at the top, no "split screen" to show both zoomed out and zoomed in displays simultaneously, ...
This really feels like a "version 0.1" product.
HOWEVER, all of these problems can be addressed by software updates. The capabilities of the Model S are considerably greater than my old LS - and likely any other car on the market. Getting a full feature set of the Nav software is not as important as getting other functionality working well and getting the software stable. But I do hope Tesla has plans to upgrade the Nav software to fully leverage the capabilities of the car and be competitive with what's out on the market (and has been for many years).
Here in The Netherlands we have Tom Tom Navigation Systems, which are very good actually. And they do not cost very much any more (but they used to be expensive). So, that would be a possible solution. Like any other Navigation System (Garmin etc.).
Like Topic Starter has mentioned already that going on Internet and using Google Maps, is a solution. Every person should make his/her choise.
Anyway, The Model S was chosen as Car of the Year. This car should have the best possible Navigation on board. This is something that Tesla Motors should have thought about when they were designing the Model S. Still it is not too late to do something about it. Tesla Motors should come up with an update that would give the car the best possible Navigation System.
Naw, TM figured that if you get lost, it's fun getting back on track in the MS, and gives an excuse to drive further. It's a feature, not a bug! ;p
Has any one found the avoid toll roads option in MS nav?
In-car storage of map data with the tech package? I got the MS with the tech package because I live in an area with awful 3G coverage (in the mountains between Silicon valley and the Pacific). My understanding was that the tech-package provides for complete US maps stored LOCALLY (i.e. somewhere in the car), but it doesn't seem to work. The map screen shows mostly black until I reach an area with 3G coverage. My software version is 4.2
Does anyone else have this missing local maps problem?
Otherwise, fantastic car. Bye bye, BMW!
The in-car storage of map data displays on the left side of the instrument panel, not on the touch screen. Are you saying the instrument panel map shows black when you have no service? That shouldn't happen.
winfried -
You have to be "navigating" to a destination for the map to show up on the left side instrument screen. It will remain accurate and update in 3G dead spots.
@DouglasR and @hfcolvin
Thanks for the answer - yes, you are correct, the map data display on the left of the instrument panel works fine in 3G dead spots. I am very relieved that there is no problem with the car.
I use the map on the big screen more often than the one on the dash. In poor 3G areas I find that the big screen map cannot keep up with the car. Lots of the screen is black (or gray). So what will happen when I don't sign up for a data plan? No big screen map at all. I too feel the mapping really leaves a lot to be desired.
Has any one tried using a Garmin or TomTom navigation unit in the car? I am wondering if all that coating on windshield and pano roof which is causing problems with tollway responders and garage door openers, will also block GPS signal.
@azizkhan - The GPS signals are getting through to the TBT nav on my smartphone, so I would think a Garmin or Tom Tom unit would be okay too.
@stevenmaifert - Thanks for checking.
The GPS signals (between 1.2 and 1.6 GHz) make it just fine through the windshield. I tested it with a (rather high end - $4000) Garmin 496 portable GPS.
Thanks to the replies by DouglasR and hfcolvin to my question a few days ago in this thread, I know now that data from the internal navigation database -- which is part of the Tech Package -- is ONLY displayed on the instrument panel itself, not on the big central screen. But I'm still having a 'bootstrap' problem if starting out in an area of no 3G coverage: as far as I can tell, the only way to get nav data displayed on the instrument panel is to enter a destination and receive a route from Google. But receiving this route requires 3G connection - so there is a real catch 22.
That's why I know that a Garmin portable works :-(

If you like your individual healthcare plan, you still probably can't keep it. But now, thanks to its administrative fix, the Obama administration can try blaming that on insurers.
Let's back up. Obamacare does a lot of things, but the one big thing it does is try to make the individual insurance market work for more than just healthy people. Right now, insurers discriminate against people with preexisting conditions and sell bare-bones policies to others. So you can't get insurance if you are sick, and don't get much insurance if you become sick. Obamacare forces insurance companies to offer everyone the same policies at the same prices regardless of preexisting condition (though not age). To ensure that sick people don't get junk insurance, the law also sets minimum benefit levels.
Sound reasonable? Well, it backfired big time. Insurance companies canceled their least comprehensive plans, so lots of people needed to shop for a new, legal plan on Healthcare.gov. But Healthcare.gov doesn't work. So they're left in the lurch. As Jonathan Cohn points out, many people losing their insurance would probably be happy with their choices (and maybe subsidies) under Obamacare. But, again, they don't know about these. And, in this case, ignorance is more panic-inducing than blissful.
Obama has a plan to try to alleviate the panic—and shift the blame. Here's what it would do in three steps.
1. Let insurers offer plans that don't meet Obamacare standards for another year. Obama now says insurance companies can sell one-year plans that don't meet these minimum benefit levels for another year—through the end of 2014, and not 2013.
This is more politics than policy. It lets the administration say it's trying to let people keep their plans if they like them—and blame the insurers if they don't. But why wouldn't people be able to keep their old plans now? Wouldn't insurers want to keep healthy people the bare bones policies they're already selling them? Well, maybe not. See, insurance companies have already set prices for next year's Obamacare-compliant policies—which, remember, cannot discriminate against people with preexisting conditions. So insurers would lose money if they kept selling cheap polices to healthy people and new policies to sick people. They need healthy people to pay more to make it all work. Or, alternatively, they'll need to charge more for Obamacare-compliant policies in the future. That's why insurance companies might not offer their old plans, and why the state insurance commissioners of Washington and Arkansas have said they won't go along (though California, Florida, and Kentucky will).
2. Make insurance companies tell people who are thinking about keeping their old plans about Obamcare's alternatives. There's one condition if insurers do decide to use this extra year to keep selling plans that don't meet minimum standards. They have to tell their customers 1) what the new plans cover that their old plans don't, and 2) that these new plans might actually be cheaper for them. In other words, the administration is trying to get the insurance companies to tell people what they would find on Healthcare.gov if it worked.

Over on Clarity Daily, in addition to Sharon's stunning photographs, she has a number of really excellent posts. I want to link to two articles having to do with a part of the world in which I have been involved and about which I care a great deal. The first article deals with a little attended regional aspect of the destabilization of Iraq, the Turkish/Kurdish conflict, which, prior to 2003, had come to a kind of peaceful resolution after many years of violence. The second has to do the Turkish genocide of Armenians which took place between 1915-1917, during the years of World War I and preceded the establishment of the modern Turkish state. The third article, from the BBC, this morning is about the Turkish reaction to a vote by a US congressional committee recognizing as genocide the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.
Turkey Threatens Move Against Kurds
American Witnesses to Genocide
Turkey condemns US Armenia vote
This is a sad chapter in Turkish history and, while I love Turkey, its people, and have many friends there, it is time to acknowledge and repudiate this horror and to begin to allow ethnic and religious minorities the freedom to exercise the rights guaranteed them under the Turkish Constitution.

Pakistan has failed to properly protect Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister, and to investigate her December 2007 assassination, a UN investigation has reported.
The 65-page report said that the inquiry commission believes the failure by Pakistani authorities to effectively investigate Bhutto's death was "deliberate."
It added that the UN probe was "severely hampered" by intelligence agencies and government officials.
The report had initially been scheduled for release on March 30, but was delayed following an urgent request from Asif Ali Zardari, the Pakistani president, husband of the slain former prime minister.
The UN-appointed three-member panel compiling the report were asked by Rehman Malik, the Pakistani interior minister, to include input from the former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Saudi Arabia in its report.
Bhutto, the first woman to become prime minister of a Muslim country, was killed on December 27, 2007 in a gun and suicide attack after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near the capital, Islamabad.
Video footage showed a gunman firing toward her vehicle as she left the rally, following which an explosion took place.
Martin Nesirky, a UN spokesman, said on Wednesday that the panel headed by Heraldo Munoz, Chile's ambassador to the UN, would formally present its report to UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Thursday.
Ban will then share it with the Security Council and with the Pakistan ambassador to the UN, Nesirky said.
Munoz and one of the other panel members, Marzuki Darusman, an Indonesian ex-attorney general, were to give a press conference later on Thursday to provide details of the report.
Kristen Saloomey, Al Jazeera's correspondent at the UN, said: "It's very unusal that we haven't seen a glimpse of this report yet. Most UN reports are leaked to the media ahead of time, so it's a sign of how sensitive this one is.
"While there will likely be no "smoking gun", and no names named in this report, it could have some serious repercussions for the government of Pakistan.
"In particular, a current member of the government - interior minister Rehman Malik - who was Bhutto's chief of security, is expected to come out badly after this report is released.
"Equally criticised will likely be how the crime scene was handled. Just an hour after Benazir Bhutto's body was removed from the scene, the crime scene was washed down, destroying any possible forensic evidence."
Postponed release
The delay in releasing the report was announced late last month only hours after a UN spokeswoman in Islamabad said all UN offices in Pakistan would close for three days as a security precaution.
The measure affected more than 2,000 staff in dozens of offices around the country.
Qamar Zaman Kaira, Pakistan's information minister, who announced the delay, said that two unnamed officials who had warned Bhutto that her life might be in danger "could be helpful to the commission in finding who was behind her assassination".
Tariq Pirzada, a political analyst and columnist in Islamabad, told Al Jazeera: "It has been widely orchestrated as a report that will be impartial. The government of Pakistan invested a lot of time and money in this report.
"But the attempt to discredit the report by the Zardari government in requesting for its delay has a reason. Maybe the report strongly implicates all. Maybe the report suggests that the personal security provided by Mr Rehman Malik and his 400 guards was not sufficiently managed and handled.
"This would jeopardise the credibility of the current government."
Security is precarious in parts of Pakistan, where more than 3,150 people have been killed in suicide and bomb attacks over the last three years.
Bhutto wrote in her autobiography of warnings that four suicide squads - including one sent by a son of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader - were after her.
She also repeatedly accused a cabal of senior Pakistani intelligence and government officials of plotting to kill her, notably in an attack that killed 139 people in Karachi on October 18, 2007 when she returned from exile.

[1630] PIT-1, and ERα Transcription Factors, and PTTG-1 Gene Expression in Pituitary Adenomas.
Alma Ortiz-Plata, Monica Gutierrez de la Pena, Aurora Sanchez-Garcia, Ivan Perez-Neri, Martha L Tena Suck, Daniel Rembao-Bojorquez. National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Mexico City, DF, Mexico
Background: Pituitary adenomas (ADHs) are diagnosed as benign tumors even though they can be aggressive. In the pituitary development transcriptions factors play an important role in determining cell phenotypes and proliferation. Overexpression of transcription factors has been detected in ADHs suggesting their role in the formation of pituitary tumors. Objective: The aim was to evaluate the secretory activity, transcription factors expression and proliferative markers in ADHs.
Design: In 99 pituitary adenomas immunohistochemistry against PCNA, Ki-67 antigen, Pit-1, ERα, and pituitary hormones (prolactin, growth hormone, FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH) was made. Correlation analysis among hormonal activity, cellular proliferation, and transcription factors expression was done.
Results: ERα expression correlate with GH, ACTH hormones, and plurihormonal adenomas (p=0.047, p=0.008, p=0.042 respectively); Pit-1 had correlation with prolactin hormone and non-secretor ADHs; high Ki-67 expression correlate with Pit-1 (p= 0.019) and ERα (p= 0.017), and PCNA correlate with Pit-1 (r2=0.145, p=0.001), and was high in secretor than in non-secretor ADHs (p=0.034). PTTG-1 shows correlation with plurihormonal tumors in general (p=0.014), with FSH and TSH in particular (p= 0.056; p=0.053), and with non-secretor (p=0.040). Also PTTG-1 expression is associated with ERα expression (p=0.000) and PCNA expression (p=0.028).
Conclusions: Pit-1 and ERα are involved in proliferation inducing the cyclin D1 expression; Pit-1 over expression has been founded in GH, Prl and TSH adenomas. Is strongest predictor of prolactinoma development, ERα and Pit-1 transcription factors expression shows that it can be useful to distinguish the hormonal activity of the ADHs overall in plurihormonal ones in which its diagnostic is difficult, and its correlation with the proliferative markers could help to give an idea of their biological behaviour.

Definitions for Elongationɪ lɔŋˈgeɪ ʃən, ɪ lɒŋ-, ˌi lɔŋ-, ˌi lɒŋ-
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word Elongation
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
e•lon•ga•tionɪ lɔŋˈgeɪ ʃən, ɪ lɒŋ-, ˌi lɔŋ-, ˌi lɒŋ-(n.)
(adj.)the act of elongating or the state of being elongated.
something that is elongated; prolongation.
the angular distance, measured from the earth, between a planet or the moon and the sun or between a satellite and its primary.
Category: Astronomy
Origin of elongation:
Princeton's WordNet
the quality of being elongated
elongation, extension(noun)
an addition to the length of something
the act of lengthening something
The act of lengthening, or the state of being lengthened; protraction; extension.
That which lengthens out; continuation.
The ratio of the extension of a material to the length of the material prior to stretching.
Removal to a distance; withdrawal; a being at a distance; distance.
The angular distance of a planet from the sun; as, the elongation of Venus or Mercury.
Webster Dictionary
the act of lengthening, or the state of being lengthened; protraction; extension
that which lengthens out; continuation
removal to a distance; withdrawal; a being at a distance; distance
the angular distance of a planet from the sun; as, the elongation of Venus or Mercury
In astronomy, a planet's elongation is the angle between the Sun and the planet, with Earth as the reference point. The greatest elongation of a given planet occurs when this inner planet's position, in its orbital path to the Sun, is at tangent to the observer on Earth. Given the planets able to elongate are well within the area of Earth's orbit of the Sun, observation of such a phenomena should not pose that much a challenge, compared to deep sky objects, for example. When a planet is at its greatest elongation, it is farthest from the Sun as viewed from Earth, so its view is also best at that point. When an inferior planet is visible after sunset, it is near its greatest eastern elongation. When an inferior planet is visible before sunrise, it is near its greatest western elongation. The value of the greatest elongation, for Mercury, is between 18° and 28°; and for Venus between 45° and 47°. This value varies because the orbits of the planets are elliptical, rather than perfect circles. Another minor contributor to this inconsistency is orbital inclination: each planet's orbit is in a slightly different plane. Refer to astronomical tables and websites such as heavens-above to see when the planets reach their next maximum elongations.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
The throw of the magnetic needle. (See Throw.) Synonym--Throw.

Anne McKenzie, National Training Manager, Care Training Providers Ltd.
As dedicated Health & Social Care training providers Care Training Providers Ltd is often asked to define the mandatory training courses for our clients. Unfortunately this is not a totally straightforward question to answer, but below we have offered some guidance.
Here is quote is from the Nursing Times:
'There are no government guidelines that state what comprises mandatory training for all nurses. It's up to employers. But, broadly speaking, it refers to resuscitation, fire safety and moving and handling.'
Regulation 23 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 states:
The registered person must have suitable arrangements in place in order to ensure that persons employed for the purposes of carrying on the regulated activity are appropriately supported in relation to their responsibilities, to enable them to deliver care and treatment to service users safely and to an appropriate standard, including by—
(a) receiving appropriate training, professional development, supervision and appraisal; and
(b) being enabled, from time to time, to obtain further qualifications appropriate to the work they perform.
Outcome 14 is the outcome that CQC uses to ensure a service meets the requirements stipulated in regulation 23 and this states:
People who use services:
Are safe and their health and welfare needs are met by competent staff.
This is because providers who comply with the regulations will:
Ensure that staff are properly supported to provide care and treatment to people who use services.
Ensure that staff are properly trained, supervised and appraised.
Enable staff to acquire further skills and qualifications that are relevant to the work they undertake.
These then are 'less prescriptive' than the minimum standards and set out ways that this outcome could be achieved.
The learning and development needs of staff are identified based on the needs of people who use services and the skills needed from staff to ensure that the service meets essential standards of quality and safety.
This suggests that the list of mandatory courses will differ from client group to client group although there are a core group of training courses which are common to all areas.
Staff have a learning and development plan in place from the point of induction based upon the needs identified and how those needs will be met. This takes account of recognised standards in the sector.
The service has a learning and development plan which leads to the development of a programme of activity that meets mandatory, sector body and professional requirements for the designated roles and enables staff to meet their professional registration and development requirements.
The common mandatory courses are Health and Safety, Food Hygiene, Manual or People Handling, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults or Safeguarding Children, Infection Control and Basic Life Support (Emergency First Aid). This list could also include Mental Capacity Act training. Fire Safety training is not mentioned within this list as this would result, where required, from the organisations statutory Fire Risk Assessment.
These courses also reflect and address many of the Common Induction Framework objectives.
This list is then extended to include Medication Awareness, Challenging Behaviour, Dementia Care and many more that are service specific.
Sector body requirements may be such courses as Medication Awareness or Care of the Dying patient. Also again this includes sector specific training. A hospice will require End of Life Planning training.
Professional registration and development requirements relates to Medicines Administration for Qualified Nurses and Supervision, Care Planning and Report Writing training.
The key is to enable staff to take part in learning and development that is relevant and appropriate so that they can carry out their role effectively.
It seems that the absolute answer is that mandatory training is the training that the management of any particular service feel is needed to comply with the Health and Social Care Act and Minimum Standards / Skills for Care requirements.The common mandatory courses have been defined within this article however services are likely to find that they need to augment these with additional subjects that are, in effect then, mandatory for their service.
A final point here is that this article primarily covers mandatory training. Statutory training can overlap this but is somewhat different. A topic for another day perhaps!

CMA CGM is said to be negotiating the sale of a 49 percent stake in its Malta container terminal to Turkey's Yildirim Group, a minority shareholder in the French ocean carrier.
The two companies are close to an agreement, but other groups are still in the bidding, French daily Les Echos reported.
By the Numbers:
Container Rate Benchmark.
Denmark's APM Terminals is also said to be interested in buying a stake in the terminal which will become a major hub for sister company Maersk Line in July following its decision to cease transshipment operations at the southern Italian port of Gioia Tauro.
The planned disposal is part of Marseilles-based CMA CGM's debt restructuring program agreed with its creditors in January.
Yildirim, a family-owned group with interest in coal and steel trading, logistics and ports, invested $500 million to acquire a 20 percent stake in CMA CGM in 2010.
CMA CGM, which confirmed in early May that it is mulling the sale of a minority stake in its Malta terminal, declined to comment on reports it is about to close on a deal with Yildirim.
CMA CGM, which has a 65-year concession to operate and develop the Malta Freeport Terminal, accounts for just over half of its 2010 traffic of 1.2 million 20-foot equivalent units.
The terminal faced the loss of around 10 percent of its revenues when the European Union imposed sanctions against Iran in October, including a ban on the loading and unloading of cargoes of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line.
CMA CGM has interests in 27 container terminals around the world, including Port Klang, Malaysia; Tanger Med, Morocco; Kingston, Jamaica and Khor Fakkan in the Gulf of Oman. .
Portsynergy, a joint venture with Dubai's DP World, has a 35-year concession to operate a two million TEUs per year terminal in Marseilles.

Is anyone else concerned about possible breakdown in rule of law in certain metro areas due to power outages and other mayhem that Irene will likely cause in the next few days?
If Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of looting, robberies, murders, etc. that took place in New Orleans is any indication of what could occur, I definitely have concerns. I hope and pray the east coast metro areas fare better.

.- Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata has denounced the Minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires for granting "permission to kill," since "by granting permission to abort, one is granting permission to kill."
During his weekly program "Keys to a Better World," the archbishop explained that the Minister of Health of the province of Buenos Aires "has recently established a protocol for how to proceed with abortion cases that are referred to in the Penal Code."
"Now, in each hospital," the archbishop said, "the director will have to appoint an interdisciplinary team that will decide whether or not to allow an abortion in a particular case. And the curious thing is that this interdisciplinary team cannot include persons who are against abortion."
"Moreover, hospitals will have to draw up a list, which will evidently function as a black list, of conscientious objectors, in order to determine who those individuals are who will not endorse such a practice," the archbishop said.
"Even if the woman who is dealing with this problem is a minor or is mentally handicapped, her legal representative cannot oppose an abortion and if it is someone who on principle is against abortion, he or she must be removed from the case. Consequently the abortion must take place, like it or not."
He also explained that the new protocol also requires that the abortion take place as soon as possible to avoid cases, such as the one last year in which doctors refused to perform an abortion, but "in the end the abortion was that was carried out was in reality infanticide."
Archbishop Aguer criticized officials for ramming through a new policy in the dark of night that allows for abortion, even though the Argentinean Constitution recognized the right to life of the unborn.
"We are forgetting that the main person involved in these matters is the unborn child. No one talks about him, no one talks about the unborn child, but permission is being granted to kill him! And those who defend his right to life are quiet, or they join the choir of victimizers," the archbishop said.
