The podcast is full of great ear candy: Journalist Scott Carrier and poet Alex Caldiero visit the Sun Tunnels, a far-flung art installation in the Utah desert. High Country News editorial fellow Neil LaRubbio gives us a peek into the world of modern hoboes. (Neil is producing a documentary, Freeload, about train hoppers; check out the trailer and contribute to his Kickstarter campaign here.) And from producer Jonathan Mitchell, A Beginner's Guide to Hitchhiking. We also rung up Elijah Wald, author of Riding With Strangers, a book about hitchhiking cross-country, to get some tips on the best -- and worst -- places to thumb rides in the West.
That drought can prime forests for fire is well established, and, well, kind of obvious. Parched plants and trees are easier to ignite than those full of moisture. And fire thrives across dry soils and in air lacking in humidity.
I heard Wolter pose this question during a recent webinar on New Mexico's drought outlook, and was a bit floored by it, considering I'd spent the past couple of weeks under a blanket of haze created by smoke drifting into our valley from the fires engulfing much of the rest of Colorado, and hallucinating rain that never materialized in those early morning moments between sleep and consciousness. (Seriously, this has been happening to me a lot.)
Forecasters are optimistic about a productive monsoon season in the southwest this year. New Mexico is eagerly awaiting rain as we speak. "We are seeing a circulation setting up like an early monsoon," says Wolter, with southerly flows coming into the region from Mexico. "When you have those monsoon patterns set up, it doesn't stay like that all summer. You need to milk those situations."
Wolter says he's "concerned but not convinced" that the haze and particles in the air from the spate of early fires could temper the efficiency of the monsoon patterns, causing them to produce some rain, but not the good soaking we so desperately need.
Wolter is careful to point out that he isn't personally researching this question, and as he told the Summit County Citizens Voice, this is still a "back-of-the-envelope" theory. But, he says, "I'm trying to understand what happened in 2000 and 2002, when I was making these forecasts that didn't work out." In 2002, for instance, fire season took shape much the way it has this year -- it started big and early. By the end of June, some 2.8 million acres had burned in the West, about two and a half times the previous 10-year average for that time of year. The Hayman Fire tore through Colorado that year, the largest in the state's history at 137,760 acres. Conditions looked ripe for a good rainy season. But, "when the monsoon came," says Wolter, "we were getting thunderstorms, but they were just pathetic. They did not produce." At the weather station Wolter keeps at his own home, he measured less than an inch of rain in July after the Hayman Fire, compared to the three inches he gets during a healthy monsoon. "August was not much better," he says.
There are a couple of reasons he suspects that smoke could contribute to a lackluster monsoon. Haze reduces the amount of solar radiation reaching the ground, and the surface of the earth must be heated up to initiate thunderstorms. (This is why thunderstorms typically happen in the afternoon.) "So that's the first effect," he says. "It takes longer to heat up the ground and start a thunderstorm." Secondly, he says, all the fine particles in the air could "overseed" thunderclouds that do form. Droplets coalesce around the particles, but if there's too many of them, you'll get a lot of little droplets -- drizzle instead of drenching rain.
To Wolter, the impact of wildfire haze and ash on the monsoon deserves further research: "I moved here in 1988, and we had a couple of big fires in '89 and '94. But after a month or so, it was typically over. Now, it's month after month. It seems we have changed the paradigm. It could just be a function of (decades of fire suppression) and all the biomass that's waiting to burn. It's probably helped along by these warm temperatures. There's a big concern that this (paradigm) might be the future, so we need to understand it better."
The coming weeks will be fascinating to watch, Wolter believes. "It we end up with three to five inches (in Colorado) my concern is alleviated," he says. "If we get half an inch, that might be the smoke."

My Dad, a native Santa Fean, agrees, and laments the once-funky city's now perfect grooming. Which is partly why he and my Mom have taken a shine to the state's lower half since temporarily moving to Roswell last fall. "The New Mexico I grew up in was more of just a normal place," he says -- and the southern part is still like that.
Indeed, the locals welcome your business, but feel no obligation to put on a show for you. The north's unusual blend of Spanish, Anglo and American Indian cultures is less pervasive here, and the architecture trends more toward "trailer park stark" than "Pueblo chic." But the chile is still hot, the landscape diverse, and the towns un-manicured. Even those cultivating tourism economies don't try particularly hard to impress visitors by, say, keeping regular business hours. It's refreshing: You experience southern New Mexico just as it is.
"I love waking up in New Mexico," my Dad crowed this spring as we sped toward the Magdalena Mountains, a lonely huddle of hills west of Socorro. My Dad is a serious man. But since moving out here from Chicago last year, he's become oddly exuberant. "Our drive yesterday?" he went on. "There wasn't one linear mile that wasn't interesting."
At Magdalena, we were reminded of another distinction between northern and southern New Mexico: politics. The rough-hewn old railroad town is bookended by homemade "Obama: Worst President Ever" signs -- folk art, of a sort, in this part of the world.
Not eager to argue the issue, we continued on to the Plains of San Agustin, an ancient lakebed wearing a necklace of mountains. There, a collection of satellite dishes on steroids sprout from the plain -- telescopes that make up the Very Large Array, with which astronomers probe black holes and observe the birth of galaxies. Much to the disappointment of some visitors, the scientists have yet to chitchat with aliens, but the work they do will be instrumental to discovering extraterrestrial life, if it's out there.
The high-tech array's presence here is ironic, amid far-flung towns that still retain public payphones -- places like Pie Town, to which we hurried with growling bellies. At nearly 8,000 feet on the Continental Divide, it's home to 50 souls, according to one local I asked, and 186, including unincorporated areas, per the census. It got its name in the late 1920s, because one settler sold pie to passing frontier-folk. Yet, by the mid-'90s, a sign on one defunct bakery supposedly read, "There used to be pie in Pie Town, but there ain't no more -- FOR SALE." That place, now the Pie-o-neer, was closed, so we skipped down the road to the Good Pie Café.
Owner Michael Rawl rolls out dough in a tight alcove behind the dining room, next to a poster of Muhammed Ali looming over Sonny Liston and a photo of the Dalai Lama. We had a slice of key lime, a tasty cross between chiffon and cheesecake, and a subtly sweet piece of pecan. Our waitress bemoaned the region's drought -- she gets only 50 gallons of water every other day from a deep well. Employment, too, is scarce, she said: "Most people are just retired here."
We headed south on Highway 32 into the heart of Catron County, passing dry streambeds, two more payphones, and the occasional home. The country's first official wilderness, the Gila, inspired by conservationist Aldo Leopold, lies mostly within Catron County. But today, the county's famous for its anti-environmental zeal. Angry at regulations protecting the Mexican spotted owl, then at the reintroduction of the Mexican wolf, county commissioners have tried doggedly to wrest control of public land from the state and feds. Wolves are especially loathed, as roadside signs attest.
So we were careful not to mention endangered carnivores while we inhaled spicy green chile cheeseburgers at Reserve's rooster-themed Ella's Cafe, right near the courthouse where ordinances asserting local authority over public land were inked. Beside us, ranchers discussed the range's meager forage; meanwhile, MSNBC played improbably in the background.
In early evening, we strolled Silver City's main drag, a colorful, only partly occupied stretch of galleries, cafes, a bar, vintage clothing shop, and a mind-boggling number of coffee shops -- not one of them a Starbucks. It reminds my parents, like few other towns, of the old Santa Fe. Our main motivation for visiting, however: It has at least one very good restaurant. The Curious Kumquat's chef, Rob Connoley moved to Silver City and ran a meth-treatment program, burned out, and opened the adventurous gastropub instead. We devoured fried rice balls stuffed with fermented cashew "cheese" and dressed in a rich red curry. I tucked into mac 'n' cheese with toothy yet tender crawfish foraged from a "secret spot in the Gila," according to our waitress. Who knew there were shellfish to be gathered in the desert?
The next morning, eastbound on Highway 152, we were transfixed by the view of the Santa Rita copper mine, where open-pit copper mining was pioneered. The scenic byway winds in stomach-churning fashion just south of the Aldo Leopold Wilderness and descends the Black Range, passing through near-ghost towns alongside short-lived mines.
We crossed the ash-blond expanse of Lake Valley, then reached the bright green fields of the lower Rio Grande Valley, which, thanks to groundwater mining, appeared oblivious to the record-breaking drought. In these food-obsessed times, you might expect Hatch, the self-proclaimed "Chile Capital of the World," to have its face on for visitors. Not so much. It offers a hardware store, grocery, empty storefronts and a few cafes -- half of which were closed that Saturday. Even here, the quality of roadside stands' peppers is spotty. So we buy from a trusted source: June Lytle Rutherford, whose family's addictive red powder is available at her daughter's flower/video-rental/knick-knack store, The Wonder Hut, in Salem, and at Hatch Chile Express, owned by her son. (Or, grow your own: You can order seed from the family online.)
Under a canopy of pecan trees, we took the back road to Mesilla, which retains its distinctive character despite bumping up against Las Cruces' creeping sprawl. Its Santa Fe-style plaza is free of glitz and sticker shock. And the Mesilla Valley Film Society shows foreign and independent films nightly at the Fountain Theater, where the historic building's mud-and-grass guts peek through crumbling plaster. Across the street, Vintage Wines serves light tapas and surprisingly good local wines.
On our last day, suffering road fatigue, we decompressed in Truth or Consequences, which adopted the name of a 1950s game show in a publicity stunt. These days, it bills itself as "America's most affordable spa town." It is affordable and has hot springs aplenty, but spa town? Trailers occupy riverfront real estate, and instead of neighborhood watch, they have meth watch.
"It would be a good setting for an episode of Breaking Bad," my Dad observed.
We checked in to the restored Dam Site Resort lodge, offices built in 1911 during construction of nearby Elephant Butte Dam. After guzzling Buds on the veranda, Mom and I ventured to the tropical eco-lodge ambiance of Riverbend Hot Springs. We reclined in a pool, the muddy, nearly stagnant Rio Grande rippling in the wind below us.
For dinner, we ate calamari and pasta next to Los Angeles women, who discussed one's screenwriting career and name-dropped celebrities. What drew these stylish L.A. ladies to this rough-and-tumble town, I wondered?
Perhaps its rough-and-tumble edge is its draw. It feels like the rural equivalent of a tough urban neighborhood that's been discovered by artists but not yet colonized by yuppies. T or C doesn't deliver the most charming of first impressions, but its eccentric energy slowly warms you. And there's something hopeful about the determination of creative transplants to make a go of things -- like our waiter, who also ran the movie theater, along with a vintage boutique with his wife. "If you're a snowbird on a budget," my Dad mused as we left, "I think this would be a pretty great place to come."]]>

In a new report, the Government Accountability Office quantified the disparity, and the specifics are pretty interesting. Among fossil fuel power plants -- those burning coal, natural gas or oil -- older units generate 45 percent of the electricity. Yet those same plants spew out 75 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions, 64 percent of emissions of nitrogen oxides, and 54 percent of carbon dioxide emissions.
A couple of charts tell the story a different way.
Pretty striking, eh? There are a few explanations for why newer power plants -- and especially the newest -- emit so much less sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. One is that in the 2000s, many more new natural gas plants came online than coal plants. They don't emit sulfur dioxide -- which can aggravate asthma and other respiratory ailments; emit far less nitrogen oxides, a contributor to ozone; and release about half as much carbon dioxide. Before the 1990s, almost all new power plants to come online were coal-fired, and in the 1990s the split between gas and coal was about even.
Another reason for the difference is the Clean Air Act. New coal fired power plants are required to install what's called "best available control technology" to curb emissions of pollutants like sulfur dioxide. What's considered the best available technology changes and improves over time. For instance, these days new coal plants are outfitted with scrubbers that can eliminate more than 90 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions. Sixty-three percent of the coal-fired power plants built after 1978 use this technology, while only 26 percent of those built before then do.
As for carbon dioxide, aside from being more efficient at converting coal into electricity, new coal plants aren't much better than old because, as we reported on this blog recently, technology to capture carbon emissions is still in its infancy.
So, the good news: We've gotten a lot better at generating cleaner power, even from fossil fuels. The bad news: Those old, dirty power plants are still an important part of our energy mix -- and, for the most part, they aren't getting any cleaner.

The military has made an impressive push in recent years to diversify and clean up its power and fuel supplies. It's built utility-scale solar installations at its bases to protect itself from outages or attacks on the regular grid (though achieving total independence from the grid has proved complicated). It's made its combat operations lighter and more efficient with things like solar battery chargers and energy efficient light bulbs, reducing costs and the need for supply convoys, which have been the victims of frequent attacks in Afghanistan. And it's begun researching alternative fuels, to reduce its fleets' vulnerability to volatile oil prices.
Republican opponents of this last effort decry it in the name of fiscal discipline. Indeed, experimental biofuels are many times more expensive than good ol' gasoline. But should any of the fuels the military is researching and testing prove viable, the market they -- as the single thirstiest oil guzzler in the world -- could create would drive prices for those alternative fuels down. Would that shift make the fuels economical for them, or even you and I? Maybe, maybe not. But as Slate's Fred Kaplan points out, "some of modern history's most revolutionary devices started out as too expensive; and they would have stayed that way -- they might never have got off the ground -- had the federal government not created the market. And since, in American politics, the military and space programs have been the federal government's only sources of manufacturing, it's the Pentagon and NASA that have created those markets."
Plus, it's hard to see the Republicans' concern for the bottom line as genuine when you consider the exemptions for coal-to-liquid fuels and natural gas, and that the House Defense budget overshoots a compromise budget between President Obama and Republicans by $8 billion and calls for the "construction of a missile defense site on the East Coast that the military opposes," according to the AP.
The Defense Department also opposes Congressional efforts to tie its hands on alternative fuels. Jonathan Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations for the Navy, wrote this to the Senate committee, according to Science Insider: "While the Navy does not intend to purchase alternative liquid fuels for operational use until they are price competitive with petroleum-based fuels, the Navy needs flexibility to continue the testing and certification of all potential alternative fuel pathways to ensure the Navy has an 'off-ramp' from conventional fuel sources. ... I believe this will impede America's energy security."
Of course, it's not really the military that Inhofe, McCain or House Republicans are after. It's Obama.
"(Defense) Secretary (Leon) Panetta's commitment of a billion dollars for alternative fuels makes clear that, despite President Obama's recent change in rhetoric for his reelection campaign, he remains fully determined to implement his all-out attack on traditional American energy development -- and the military is one place where he can force it to happen," Inhofe said in a speech on the Senate floor earlier this month.
In the interest of considering facts in this debate, however, let me remind you that the military's green makeover is not Obama's creation. It was George W. Bush who first directed the military to reduce its energy consumption and add more renewables to the mix.

One of the things we appreciated is that HCN is apolitical. I found Tom Zoellner's "Extreme Arizona" unpleasantly left-leaning. I showed it to four different friends, and they came to the same conclusion. I hope HCN can leave politics out of future articles. We get enough of that elsewhere.
The writing for the article on Gabby Giffords and Arizona was excellent. I hope you can continue to publish such high-quality work. Also, the article on the water guy was excellent.
Until I traveled out West to hike I had no idea how blind-sighted one could be living in the Northeast. We are such a diverse nation. Here in New York / New Jersey, newspapers only report on politics and killings. Your paper is my only source for all the really important issues. Because you report in-depth, I am able to be an educated voter.
I depend on every issue to stay abreast of the issues of our time.
We will never have healthy wild ecosystems without top-level carnivores. We can never have the return of these carnivores as long as livestock grazing is predominant on public lands. Focus on this.
HCN is a great filler of an information gap I can fill no other way.
I still loathe the new motto. "A paper for people who care about the West" was a wonderful motto. What does the grotesquely truncated form -- without the words "a paper" -- even mean? Every time I look at it I shudder. And when you ask me for money, I think, "Why should I give money to these barbarians?" Foolish actions have consequences, people!
Please continue to strive to remain objective and balanced in your reporting. Although I'm almost always sympathetic to your views, I need to know "the other side's" arguments, too.
There seems to be more liberal bias creeping into your pages in recent years.
I know it's hard because you have so many Republican readers, but it really is the GOP far more than Democrats that have promulgated policy that contributes to pollution, global warming, sprawl, loss of habitat, etc. You need to point that out.
I prefer a focus on the Intermountain West. California should have its own equivalent of HCN.
Keep up the good work, particularly your coverage of Oregon, Washington and California.
More on wolves and politics.
I like the headlines. The articles generally disappoint me. They're not comprehensive, lack context, and do not adequately explain economics.
As an ex-New Englander, who lived for 10 years in Colorado and has a cabin in the Sangres, you help me escape from L.A.!
As a consummate generalist, I nearly always read every article and essay and come away better informed and ready to engage friends in discussion. The variety of your coverage and the quality of writing compels me to immediately tear into the latest issue. (Unfortunately, due to others -- er, freeloaders -- similarly enamored of your copy, sometimes my issues never get to my P.O. box.) Call me a very satisfied subscriber who likes the current mix and can accept change as you see fit.
While editing remains a tad uneven issue to issue, it has improved vastly in recent years. Your pay rates for freelancers remain astonishingly low. Surely that affects the magazine's content. Please continue the vibrant graphics -- now a hallmark of HCN! Great, gritty publication!
I love the fact that the things you cover show up in The New York Times months later, and they never even do as good a job as you. The only thing I would like to see more of is Western cultural weirdness -- there is so much of it available.
You have become pretty much a quasi-political publication and have thus driven off real rancher types who are suspicious of HCN for its egalitarian obsessions. I stay with HCN because of its tenacity and its whistle-blowing capability.
Do you know that vast areas of the West have no cell coverage? Your digital media efforts are wasted on those outside of metro areas. That's why I live where I do. No TV, no cell service, no Internet -- just plain old telephone service.
I don't always agree with your angles or conclusions, but that's natural. It is reassuring to know that you are working on actual journalism.
Congratulations on developing the reporting and writing skills of young, aspiring reporters.
Sometimes I feel like issues are covered in a way that is too sensitive or optimistic. Give us the tough news, the facts that maybe we don't want to hear, but need to know!
HCN is almost the only way I can get info on the West while I am in extended exile here on the Potomac.
Most people had no relationship with the river. Legally speaking, they weren't really even allowed to. Since the river is technically managed primarily for flood control, public access is tightly restricted. It's illegal to recreate on the river without a permit, or for that matter, to gather a group of people to pick up trash along it. MacAdams told The Planning Report that his group had to obtain 15 permits for their annual river cleanup.
A bill now being considered in the California Senate would begin to change that. The bill would change the L.A. County Flood Control Act to require to river to be managed for recreation and education as well as flood control. And, according to Legal Planet, it would create "a new interjurisdictional state agency ... to plan and manage river access," and relieve the government of liability for any accidents and the like that occurred from public use of the river.
"The problem that we're dealing with is that we've got a concrete cult, which has been in place for a hundred years, and we're trying to expand that definition to include all the things people do on a river," MacAdams told The Planning Report. "If this bill actually passes, we'll begin to be able to do that."
The legislation would build on a couple recent victories. A major breakthrough came in 2010, when Lisa Jackson, chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, deemed the L.A. River a "traditional navigable waterway," which basically meant the government would start thinking of the river as a river and extend to it Clean Water Act protections. HCN contributing editor and L.A. resident Judith Lewis Mernit blogged at the time that it was "hard to predict what this means for the day-to-day management of Southern California's watersheds. But with the region being forced to look toward local sources to replace depleted imports from the Sierra Nevada and Bay Delta, a heightened regard for local watersheds can only bode well."
Last year, the first officially sanctioned boaters paddled the river, but all in all, says MacAdams, the river isn't much more open to the public than it was pre-2010, nor is it much closer to being the centerpiece of city life that he hopes it will one day be.
"This is inside baseball to a lot of people," he admits, of the bureaucratic rejiggering now proposed. But it serves a larger purpose: "A hundred years ago the river was a conduit for railroads. Before that, it was the LA water supply. What should a 21st century post-industrial river look like? That's the question we're trying to begin to answer."

This, you might think, is not a state in which Obama has any shot of claiming victory come November.
Think again, say his staffers.
About a week ago, Adam Nagourney of the New York Times reported that the Obama campaign is making a serious effort to put Arizona up for grabs. "It is going to be a swing state," campaign manager Jim Messina told Nagourney. The question is, when? The answer may well be, 'not yet.' Bill Clinton carried Arizona in 1996, but he was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since Harry Truman. Arizona did have a Democratic governor, but Obama swept her into his administration, and conservatives have enjoyed clear dominance in state politics since. Still, writes Nagourney, there's reason to believe the Obama campaign's effort isn't entirely pie-in-the-sky:
College students in Arizona are legally entitled to residency, and thus are able to vote, after living here for 30 days. The Latino population has nearly doubled over the past 10 years -- it now makes up 30 percent of the overall population, and about 19 percent of the voting age population -- though Democrats have long been frustrated over their lack of success at registering Latino voters and getting them to the polls. The announcement by Richard Carmona, a former United States surgeon general, who is Latino, that he would run as a Democrat for an open Senate seat here has stirred hopes that his presence could pump up Latino participation this fall.
In 2008, Obama won the Latino vote nationwide 2-to-1, and Latino turnout is widely considered an important factor in most of the Western swing states this year. The higher it is the better, for Obama; if it's lower than in 2008, that's seen as good for Mitt Romney.
Whether or not Arizona does become legitimately competitive in this year's presidential race, that Obama is eyeing it at all is evidence that Democrats believe the leftward shift of the Western electorate in recent years is still underway. "Since 2002," wrote New Yorker political reporter Ryan Lizza in a September 2008 profile of then-Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, "Democrats have replaced Republican governors in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. ... (And) after about four years of lively discussion, strategists and Party leaders have decided that growth for Democrats is more likely to occur in the conservative but idiosyncratic West than in the solidly Republican South." In 2008, Obama competed for Colorado, Montana, Nevada and New Mexico, the West's crucial battleground states. He lost Montana, but won the others.
In response to Nagourney's story, Politico's Byron Tau mused that it is possible that "the demographic trends in the West have reached a tipping point where Arizona is genuinely in play." Or, he wrote, you could read Obama's play for the Grand Canyon State as an indication that "their money and strength in certain 'safe' Democratic states gives the Obama team a lot of wiggle room in expanding the map as widely as possible — and forcing the GOP to put resources into states they were not expecting to defend."
Of course, this isn't to say Obama won't have to play defense. Romney has his own rather large stash of cash to spread generously around the country, and the Western states that have trended Democratic of late are by no means safe bets for the sitting President. In states that have sizable Mormon populations, like Nevada, Romney's religion could work to his advantage. The dreary economy could also favor Romney: Unemployment in Nevada continues to hover around 12 percent, 4 points higher than the national average, and poor economics tend to work against incumbents. The margins of victory in New Mexico in recent elections have been incredibly tight, and Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson was replaced in 2010 by Republican Susana Martinez, who currently enjoys an approval rating around 60 percent.
Colorado is another wild card. It went for George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004, but for Obama in 2008. Democrats maintained control of the governor's office when Bill Ritter declined to run in 2010, and both of the state's U.S. senators are Democrats. In an interview with Colorado Public Radio last summer, CU-Boulder political science professor Ken Bickers chalked up the state's leftward shift in part to disproportionate population growth from liberal states like California. But Bickers also pointed out that Obama has been losing ground among independents.
A February report from the L.A. Times suggested, however, that independent voters in Denver and its suburbs -- where Colorado will be won or lost -- weren't exactly warming to Romney, or anyone else in the Republican field. Former state chair of the Republican party Dick Wadhams told the Times' Michael Finnegan that voter sentiment here is "not 'anybody but Obama.' " And, wrote Finnegan, "strictly conservative approaches on immigration, healthcare, abortion and other issues — already emphasized by the (Republican) candidates," aren't generally appealing to Colorado independents.
Of course, if Romney Etch-a-sketches himself back to moderation, his luster has plenty of time to change.

Just as our podcast went live, an ongoing study in New Mexico on how noise from oil and gas development impacts the environment made public intriguing new findings -- that, as Katrina Marland, blogging for American Forests put it, "industrial noise can literally transform a landscape," influencing which plants grow and which birds thrive.
Before we get into the details, here's some background on the groundbreaking study, which is unique because researchers were able to control for noise from oil and gas activity, allowing them to study its direct impact on birdlife. They looked at sites with nearly identical plants, weather, topography, and predator-prey relationships. One set of sites was infiltrated by noise from compressors, while the other wasn't. From Mary Woodsen's 2010 HCN story:
(T)he number of nests was virtually the same across both types of sites. "And some species seemed to prefer noise," Francis says. Finding 94 percent of house finches nesting near compressors was a bit of a shock... And talk about surprises in small packages -- 92 percent of black-chinned hummingbirds set up shop amid the noise.
The biggest surprise: Contrary to expectations, the birds that reared the most young nested closest to compressors, even though they most likely could not hear predators coming.
Two years into the project, Francis set up artificial nests baited with quail eggs to find out why. Motion-triggered cameras near the fake nests identified the principal predator -- the western scrub jay. But the jays couldn't hack the noise. Nearly twice as many foraged in quiet sites as noisy ones... And no other predator took their place.
How did the finches and hummers cope with the noise? "House finches are known for being able to adjust the pitch of their songs up or down, depending on what kind of background noise they're competing with," Francis says. "And hummingbirds naturally use high frequencies that carry above compressor noise."
Now, Francis and his team have documented the cascading impacts of the noise-driven change in avian occupation. The scrub jays, which avoided noisy areas, feed on the seeds of pinon pine trees. They extract them from cones, then bury them in the ground for safekeeping, going back for some but overlooking others. Those forgotten stashes can eventually sprout new trees.
In the noisy study sites jays stayed away from, Francis found four times fewer pinon seedlings, but more flowers, which hummingbirds pollinate. Mice munched on pinon seeds in the noisy areas, but they don't squirrel them away like jays do, and therefore, don't help the trees reproduce.
The takeaway? Marland puts it well: "(T)here will always be a ripple effect for forests that border industrial sites or other noisy places. How different will these forests look 10 years from now? 50? The treeline could be pushed back little by little with each decade, just by simple noise."
It's a good reminder that our thumbprint on nature is often far more complex than we imagine.

Renishaw to focus on motion control and measurement at ATX West show
Renishaw to focus on motion control and measurement at ATX West 2011, Booth 4245, from 8th to 10th February 2011.
Highlighted at ATX West 2011, (Anaheim, California, USA, from 8th to 10th February 2011), will be new encoder products including the revolutionary RESOLUTE™ absolute optical encoder that is capable of 1 nm resolution at speeds up to 100 m/s. Also on show are new additions to Renishaw's TONiC™ range of incremental optical linear and rotary encoders including a 1 nm resolution option, UHV compatible formats, and a Dual Signal Interface (DSi) version.
ATX West will also see the debut for RoLin™, which is a component level encoder consisting of an RLM readhead and MS magnetic scale or MR ring. It has been designed for embedded motion control applications as a position control loop feedback element. The actuator is a periodically magnetised scale or ring with a pole length (P) of 2 mm. Radial or axial reading of the ring is possible, and applications are expected to be for high volume, miniature axes in a wide range of industry sectors.
Renishaw's wide range of measurement products also help manufacturers gain more throughput from existing assets, increase machine automation, reduce manual intervention, reduce rework, concessions and scrap, and increase machine capabilities.
At ATX West, Renishaw will show the QC20-W wireless ballbar system which assesses machine tool positioning and servo control performance, and now includes a volumetric testing capability, plus a range of new touch probes and probe software that increase machine tool automation and improve process control.
For visitors sourcing off-line measurement products, there will also be the opportunity to discuss Renishaw's new retrofit service for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), including MODUS™ the company's first metrology software.

Apple's hiring of Kevin Lynch draws criticism, questions
Adobe's chief technology officer Kevin Lynch unexpectedly left the company to join Apple as vice president of technology, a hiring decision that pundits are already questioning. Most obviously, Apple engaged in a major public spat with Adobe over its Flash software, which was amongst Lynch's products. An essay from Steve Jobs from April 2010 detailing the ways "Flash falls short" can still be found on Apple's website, while a YouTube parody from 2009 shows Lynch and another Adobe staffer destroying iPhones in a number of ways, including running an iPhone over with a steamroller.
While many have questioned Apple's reasoning for bringing Lynch in, Daring Fireball's John Gruber has been particularly pointed in his criticism, suggesting that Lynch may be "a bozo" and a bad hire, based largely on Lynch's continued support for Flash well after the point at which it was publicly considered an albatross. It's been noted that Apple CEO Tim Cook has now made several such questionable executive hires at Apple, including Mark Papermaster, John Browett, and Lynch, while other executives such as iOS senior VP Scott Forstall and retail VP Jerry McDougal have departed the company. It is unclear at this point what projects Lynch will be involved with at Apple, but he will report to Apple's Bob Mansfield in his new role. [via AllThingsD]

Sigma has just released their latest in the Art series of lenses, and it's touting the title of, "fastest zoom lens ever made." The Sigma 24-35 f/2 Art Lens is indeed the fastest zoom lens ever made to cover a full-frame body. Their previous lens, the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 had people impressed, but it was only made to cover APS-C sized sensors. Unfortunately, that leaves out a wide swath of shooters that would otherwise be using Sigma lenses.
Now that they've released a lens of such a caliber, I have a question: Who is this lens for?
Well, it's for the shooter that would like to use the popular 24mm and 35mm primes that Sigma has, but either not want to buy multiple lenses, or they want the convenience of one lens.
The follow-up to that is, are there that many prime shooters out there that are willing to transition to a zoom? I would love to believe so. Often I have found that prime shooters are rather set in their ways. If Sigma is to be believed, this 24-35 f/2 matches the sharpness and quality of their primes. Could this be the straw that breaks the prime shooting lifer's back?
The weight is at 2lbs, making it slightly heavier than its APS-C sized brother. I love good solid build and weight on a lens, but considering the length, this could sometimes be difficult to handle. I'm still left wondering when lens manufacturers will start making E-Mount glass.
Those small critiques aside, Sigma's quality record over the past few years has been stellar, and many of their customers (me included) trust their word. If they say it's sharp, it's gotta be sharp. Right?
We'll know plenty more once we see tests when it's released. On paper this looks like a fantastic lens, with the capability of replacing two or more lenses in your bag.
No word yet on price, however you can expect this to be in the $750 to $1,250 range. Availability slated for July 2015. Hope you've been saving your pennies.
Sigma is once again proving that even smaller lens companies can innovate.
Adding to their impressive lineup of zooms and primes, they've announced the 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art lens, the very first zoom capable of covering full-frame sensors and maintaining a constant f/2 aperture. This zoom is the newest in their Art series of lenses, which aim to give tremendous performance at affordable prices. Though they've already got a full-frame lens in the Art series that covers this range (the 24-105mm), that lens is an f/4 throughout — a full two stops slower. It's certainly nothing to scoff at, but it does put the speed of the 24-35mm into perspective. Essentially, Sigma has set out to create a zoom that can replace primes in the 24 to 35mm range, with image quality that's just as good and an aperture that's nearly as fast.
Here are the specs:
Focal Length: 24 – 35mm (Comparable 35mm Equivalent on APS-C Format Focal Length: 38.4 – 56 mm)
Aperture: f/2-f/16
Mounts: Canon, Nikon, Sigma
Angle of View: 84.1° 63.4′
Minimum Focus Distance: 11″ (27.94 cm)
Maximum Reproduction Ratio: 1:4.4
Elements/Groups: 18/13
Diaphragm Blades: 9, Rounded
Image Stabilization: No
Autofocus: Yes
Tripod Collar: No
Filter Thread: 82 mm
Dimensions: 3.4 x 4.8″ (8.64 x 12.19 cm)
Weight: 2.075 lbs. (941 g)
Availability: July 2015
Price: TBA

Here are the specs:

For still photographers getting into filmmaking, audio has been a difficult production skill to master even in the best circumstances.
When you're a one-man production team (or even two), you just don't want to spend the time looking for a clear frequency, and then find half-way through a shot you have to change it again anyway – often my experience with the EW100 G2.
In comes the RØDELink, with virtually no setup; constant frequency hopping; no external antennae to bend; quality I already know; and a price – $399 – roughly half the price of a comparable Sennheiser kit.
RØDE: please add an external mic module.

Magazine dares to display Real-Life Moment
Breastfeeding moms are not a new thing when it comes to magazine covers, but Elle Australia apparently took advantage of a real-life moment when producing its June 2015 cover going out to its subscribers. The cover features new mom and model Nicole Trunfio breastfeeding her baby son Zion Clark. The shot, apparently, wasn't originally part of the magazine's plan. Ms. Trunfio was already booked for the shoot with photographer Georges Antoni. She brought her son along and started to feed him during a break, but the scene was so moving that the mag's team jumped on the opportunity to capture it on film.
"This wasn't a contrived situation: Zion needed a feed, Nicole gave it to him, and when we saw how beautiful they looked we simply moved her onto the set," Elle's editor-in-chief Justine Cullen said on the Elle Australia site. "It was a completely natural moment that resulted in a powerful picture."
Ms. Trunfio's reaction? "When I saw the [subscriber] cover of me breastfeeding, which was unplanned and just natural, I teared up and thought, 'Wow, this is such a special moment where my worlds have collided'," she told Elle.

Coco de Mer: X from TBWA\London on Vimeo.
U.K. erotic lingerie brand Coco de Mer is known for its risque ads, and in its latest, it goes for full-on erotic bombardment, albeit in a surreal style. The brand teamed up with photographer Rankin and TBWA/London to conceive the film, which will run in cinemas as well as online. It takes the viewer on a rollercoaster ride of sexual images (some definitely NSFW, but they're so brief you might miss them) mingled with seemingly random vignettes of other stuff -- from fighter jets to owls -- as it builds up to a climax and reminds us how often we think about sex. It was shot by an ensemble of directors including Rankin himself, Vicky Lawton, David Allain, Damien Fry, Joe Hunt, Trisha Ward and Bronwyn Parker-Rhodes.

The Fujifilm X-T10 is the latest addition to the X-series line-up, and a little sibling to the high-end Fujifilm X-T1. As such the new mirror-less camera has a lot in common with its bigger brother, including a 16.3 megapixel X-Trans CMOS II sensor, a 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and the recently announced new autofocus modes. However, to reduce the intimidation factor for less experienced photographers, the camera is smaller and more accessible, with an Auto Mode Switch lever for accessing the fully-automatic Advanced SR Auto mode.
The core photographic specification of the Fujifilm X-T10 may well look familiar to those who have previously looked at the X-T1. A 16.3-megapixel APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm) X-Trans CMOS II sensor is paired with an EXR Processor II. This allows a wide ISO range up to an extended ISO 51,200 and burst speed shooting at 8 frames per second (fps) for approximately eight JPEG frames. While that top speed matches the X-T1 it's worth noting that the higher-end camera has a bigger buffer and can maintain this speed for 47 frames.
Autofocus is dealt with by a hybrid system which combines contrast and phase detection points to achieve fast and accurate focusing. Out-of-the-box the camera offers the standard 49-point Single Point mode along with the new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes that use a larger 77-point area when shooting moving subjects, which were recently announced for the X-T1 in an upcoming firmware update. It also has Eye Detection AF and an Auto Macro mode. Full HD 1080p video recording is possible at 60/50/30/25/24 fps, and a high bit rate of 36Mbps enables high quality footage.
Physically the X-T10 keeps the stylish retro look of the X-T1, but is smaller and lighter. It comes in at 118.4 x 82.8 x 40.8 mm (4.7 x 3.3 x 1.6 in) and weighs 381 g (13.4 oz) with a battery and memory card, but without a Fujifilm X mount lens attached. Around back there's a 0.39-in 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder which allows the composition of images even in bright conditions, has a quick response time with a lag of just 0.005 seconds, and can display the effects of settings as you are shooting. Under this is a tilting three-inch LCD monitor with 920K-dots.
As we've come to expect from Fujifilm X-series cameras, there are plenty of physical controls and dials and to keep advanced photographers happy, though the X-T10 only has three top dials to the five of the X-T1. However, in a bid to be more accessible than the model it's based on, there's also an Auto Mode Switch lever on the top of the camera which can be used to quickly shift into a fully-automatic Advanced SR Auto mode for easy shooting. Here the camera will choose the optimum settings from 58 preset scenes. Another big change from the X-T1 is the inclusion of a pop-up flash.
The new camera also features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for sharing images and video, or using a smart device running the Fujifilm Camera Remote app to remotely focus using a live display and "Touch AF" and then trigger the camera release. For those who like to process their images in-camera, there are a number of film simulation options, as well as the usual array of filters.
The Fujifilm X-T10 is expected to be available in silver or black from June, and will cost US$800 body-only.

Leica has discovered a serious bug that owners of the new Monochrom (Typ 246) need to be aware of. The camera's DNG files have been found to be incompatible with Apple's new Photos app. It's not just that they can't be opened: the files could corrupt your library and cause you to lose your entire photo collection.
In a product advisory first published over at Red Dot Forum, Leica says that loading Monochrom DNG files will cause Apple Photos to "crash continuously on loading."
"This may cause the Apple Photos library to be destroyed. This means that pictures previously taken with any other camera will be lost," Leica writes. "As such, Leica Camera does not recommend using the Apple 'Photos' App for DNG files from the new Monochrom (Typ 246) until further notice."
Leica goes on to say that it's working with Apple to "resolve this issue and develop a solution." The fix will likely be on Apple's end though, as Leica says that the next software update for Apple Photos should be free of this bug.
Apple's new Photos app is the successor to iPhoto and Aperture, so there are undoubtedly a large number of photographers out there who are using the software for photo management and editing. For those who don't have additional copies of photos outside of Photos, this could be a disastrous bug to learn of through personal experience.

Canon XC10 is a compact form-factor camera with a 1" sensor that shoots 4K UHD to Cfast and 1920×1080 HD to SD cards in Canon's new XFAVC codec.
There's a built-in 24-240mm equivalent lens with a manual zoom and face detection when shooting video. It runs on LP-E6 batteries, offers a 3.5mm jack microphone input and has a maximum ISO of 20,000.
Intriguingly it's also useable as a stills camera and has a mechanical shutter for taking 12MP stills in photo mode. There's also an articulating attachment for the rear screen that turns it into a viewfinder for judging focus when shooting handheld.
Canon plans to ship the camera in June for $2,499.
Canon's Paul McAniff gives rather lack luster run down on the new Canon XC10. We can only imagine how much more informative this video could have been IF Canon had properly informed and trained there sales rep.

Sony is not well known for making smartphones or cameras, but it's playing a larger role in those industries than than many people may be aware: the company's image sensor business has been growing in recent years. In 2014, Sony manufactured 40% of all the sensors sold across the globe.
The Wall Street Journal has published a fascinating look at how Sony is banking on image sensor manufacturing as one of the core pillars of the company. Instead of focusing on selling Sony-branded electronics, as the company did in past decades, Sony is now working at getting its technologies inside other companies' hit products.
For example, every iPhone 6 contains two camera sensors made by Sony, and every sale of the phone generates up to $20 for the company, according to the WSJ report.
The latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy smartphones both contain Sony camera sensors.
Back in February, Sony sorted its different businesses into three tiers depending on priority. Image sensors was placed into the highest tier, and Sony says it's investing over $1 billion in its sensor factories in order to meet global demand. Sony's camera business fell into the middle tier.
Although its own cameras may not be the company's top priority now, photographers have a friend at the top: Sony's CEO, Kazuo Hirai, reportedly refers to himself as a "camera nut."
It just remains to be seen whether Sony can remain the leader in image sensors in both quantity and quality. If it can, Sony will have established itself as one of the cornerstones of the world of digital photography.

Today Leica has announced the new M Monochom (type 246) camera, a follow up to the M Monochrome black-and-white shooting rangefinder. The new digital camera boasts a faster Maestro image processor, 2 GB buffer memory, 24-megapixel black-and-white full-frame sensor, live-view zoom, focus peaking, and 1080p Full-HD video.
The M Monochroms claim to fame is being the first and only digital camera that produces only black and white images without any processing. Leica claims that their camera, without the hindrance of color, provides better images. According to Leica, "The result is 100 percent sharper images with brilliance and detail contrast that far exceeds what color photography can do."
The improvements to the processor allow for up to 3 times faster shooting and viewing on its beautiful 3-inch 921k-dot LCD screen. They've also added full-HD filming, 10x live-view zoom, and focus peaking, which reveals sharply focused edges with color highlights. Other improvements over the predecessor include a new CMOS sensor, a departure from the previous generations CCD sensor. The new sensor allows for a substantial bump in ISO range, which is capped at 25,000.
There is a video featuring Ragnar Axelsson using the new Monochrom here: https://vimeo.com/126365311
It should be noted that this camera will ONLY shoot B&W still and video and with an MSRP of $7,450 it will be the well off that like toys that this camera will appeal to. The rest of us will be content to change to B&W in Photoshop or use a Capture One Pro styles pre-set. The Leica M Monochrom type 246 will be available in May as can be pre-ordered now.

Also, movie, your heroine shouldn't look stronger and more bad-ass than your hero.
I noticed this, too, when I saw it. I dare anyone to tlel me that she doesn't look stronger than the hero. I remember when this scene played out, Levvitt actually flinched like a girl when she brought that axe back.
I also agree with you about the TK thing
The only thing I admired about the film was
they filmed the meeting at the diner between Willis and Levitt. These are clearly two different actors, but the director staged the shots as if he was setting up split screen shots in the way he might as if he was using a VistaGlide camera system, which would be needed if he had the same actor playing both versions of the character. Such shots are difficult to pull off and had to be done carefully, a'la

A couple weeks ago, I sarcastically stated that the world's credit agencies were starting to threaten multiple national credit downgrades as if they had a plan to leave the planet altogether.
We may be past sarcasm:
The ratings agency placed the ratings of 15 euro zone countries, including top-rated nations Germany and France, on credit watch negative — a move that signals a possible downgrade in no later than three months.
The U.S., Japan, England were all part of the last round of threats.
Meanwhile, they may have found a place to go.
Astronomers have confirmed the existence of an Earth-like planet in the "habitable zone" around a star not unlike our own.
The planet, Kepler 22-b, lies about 600 light-years away and is about 2.4 times the size of Earth, and has a temperature of about 22C.

50+: Live Better, Longer
How Many Drugs Are You Taking?
If you're over 65, odds are you're taking at least five or six medications every day. Do you know what they're doing to your body? You probably don't, and your doctor might not either.
"The average person over 65 now uses seven different medications per day, four prescribed and three over-the-counter," says Andrew Duxbury, MD, associate professor of geriatrics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and director of the senior care clinic at UAB's Kirklin Clinic. "There's never been a controlled study on a human being involving more than three drugs circulating in the body at the same time. So no one knows, scientifically, exactly what's going on in your body when you take seven, 10, or a dozen at a time."
Recommended Related to Healthy Seniors
Americans are living longer than ever before. And healthy seniors can look forward to many years of active life, thanks to the ability to repair or replace damaged joints, remove cataracts, treat heart problems, and other advances. But there's a downside. Because we are living longer, we're more likely to suffer from age-related memory loss and dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. For many seniors, dementia is the worst fear of old age. Research shows that the risk of some cognitive problems is...

Medication errors in seniors are among the most common preventable errors in the healthcare system today. About one in every three people over 65 will have some sort of adverse medication event that requires a hospital visit, according to Duxbury, and some 10% to 15% of all emergency room visits are related to medication reactions or drug interaction problems in seniors.
One Patient, Many Doctors
Part of the problem is that many people over 65 see multiple physicians. A typical 70-year-old man might see a family doctor for regular checkups, a kidney specialist to control his diabetes, and a cardiologist for his irregular heartbeat. "In some cases, one doctor will be treating a condition and add a medication, but fail to tell a patient that they should discontinue a different medication prescribed by another doctor, so they end up taking both," says Wayne K. Anderson, PhD, dean of the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, which has a specialized program in geriatric pharmacotherapy. "One doctor may not be aware of what other doctors are prescribing."
Good medications in bad combinations can be dangerous and even deadly. Statistically, a person taking eight medications can expect at least one drug interaction problem that will negatively affect his or her health, Anderson says. For example, if you're taking a medication that has blood-thinning properties and then begin to take aspirin on a regular basis, and your doctor doesn't know about both, it can put you in danger of uncontrolled bleeding. Some herbal medications -- which many doctors don't know their patients are taking -- can also influence the blood's ability to clot, causing further problems. That's just one possible set of interactions.
The wrong medications, or the right medications in the wrong combinations, can lead to a "cascade effect." Anderson recalls the story of a man whose doctor prescribed pain medication for his osteoarthritis. The medication caused nausea, for which he was prescribed anti-nausea medication. That drug caused tremors that looked like Parkinson's disease -- and things spun out of control. "The man was being treated by two or three different physicians. One of them prescribed medication for Parkinson's, which caused more nausea and more tremors, and an inability to sleep. So he was prescribed sedatives, which led to absent-mindedness, more shakiness, and dementia-like behavior," Anderson says. "He went from a gentleman who enjoyed his walks and getting the Sunday paper at the corner store to a man who was bedridden with a diagnosis of end-stage parkinsonism and senile dementia." Ultimately, a pharmacist discovered the out-of-control drug combination and notified the man's doctors. Fortunately, he regained normal function and was released from the hospital taking nothing more than Tylenol.

It is difficult to predict how long lidocaine will stay in your system. Are you feeling any unwanted effects?
An overdose is serious and can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).
See your doctor if you are concerned.
