Natural Unborn Killers
The bigotry of Bill Bennett's low expectations.
4. Bennett only said the black crime rate was high. On Opinionjournal.com, James Taranto asks, "Yet somehow it's considered invidious to point out that blacks, or black men at any rate, have a higher crime rate than nonblacks?"
Nice try. But Bennett didn't say anything about today's black men. He said crime would go down if you aborted "every black baby."
5. The crime rate of the next black generation can be predicted from this one. Several of my favorite writers have taken this line. Here's Andrew McCarthy in the National Review: "The [black crime] rate being high, it is an unavoidable mathematical reality that if the number of blacks, or of any group whose rate outstripped the national rate, were reduced or eliminated from the national computation, the national rate would go down." NR's Ramesh Ponnuru makes the same point: "Bennett's claim about what would happen to crime rates if, somehow, all black babies were aborted, is nearly incontrovertibly true because it is sadly true that blacks are disproportionately involved in crime." Matthew Yglesias of TPM Café agrees that abortions of black, male, poor, or southern fetuses would reduce the crime rate because "southern people, poor people, black people, and male people have a much greater propensity to commit crime." And Nick Schulz of Tech Central Station writes, "[B]lacks commit a disproportionate share of violent crimes in the United States. ... Given that fact, it's not a monumentally difficult conceptual leap to surmise that if you aborted every black child in the country from here on out (a hideousness that no one is advocating), the crime rate would drop."
Actually, it is a monumental leap. It's a leap from people who have committed crimes to people who haven't even been born. You can't just call such an inference "mathematical" or assert a criminal "propensity" among blacks. You have to explain it. If three apples fall from a tree, the next apple will follow. But if three flipped coins come up heads, you can't predict that the next coin will do the same. Are black babies more like apples or coins? What law of nature entitles Bennett to say he "know[s] that it's true" that aborting them would lower the crime rate?
Taranto says we need to speak frankly about the current black crime rate because it subjects black men to stereotypes. Fair enough. But what do we accomplish by asserting the criminal propensities of today's black babies? Such talk does nothing to lower the crime rate, and it subjects those babies to the same stereotypes as they grow up. Bennett understands the psychological effect of negative assumptions in the context of affirmative action: To suggest that "black young people couldn't get into college unless we gave them points for their race is to be involved in the bigotry of low expectations," he argued two years ago. But when the context is blaming blacks for crime rather than helping them get into college, the bigotry of low expectations escapes both his notice and his lips.
6. The idea of linking crime and abortion to race came from liberals. Bennett implies he got the idea from Slate: "The author of Freakonomics, Steve Levitt, engages the theory that abortion reduces crime, andhe also discusses, as I did, the racial implications of abortion and crime. And he does that in an extended debate on Slate.com."
Sorry, wrong again. Here's Levitt's debate in Slate. Paste his comments into a word-processing file and run a search for the word "black." You won't find it. The only person who brings up race in the exchange is Steve Sailer, a conservative Bennett supporter. Levitt shrugs it off, saying "race really is not an integral part of the story." As to Bennett's latest comments, Levitt repeats,
Race is not an important part of the abortion-crime argument. ... [O]nce you control for income, the likelihood of growing up in a female-headed household, having a teenage mother, and how urban the environment is, the importance of race disappears for all crimes except homicide. (The homicide gap is partly explained by crack markets.) In other words, for most crimes a white person and a black person who grow up next door to each other with similar incomes and the same family structure would be predicted to have the same crime involvement.
Sailer and Taranto point out that four years ago, Levitt mentioned the black crime rate in a paragraph deep in a 67-page article in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. Please. The probability that Bennett ever read this article is zero.
So, where did Bennett get the idea? Gibson blames "all those arguments white liberals have with white conservatives about abortion, in which the white liberal eventually defends his pro-abortion position by saying, 'Well, they'll just grow up poor and be criminals anyway.' " Really? I've heard a lot of white liberals talk about abortion, and I've never heard one of them say that.
If liberals aren't saying it, who is? Follow the clues. Thursday morning, Bennett said, "These are matters which scholars talk about, which people write books about, which are debated in public policy relations among abortion, crime, and race." Thursday evening, he warned, "There are people who are making draconian proposals about abortion and this and that and the other thing." Friday, he wrote that these issues have been "much debated in the think tank community in Washington." Bennett is a fellow at the Claremont Institute, has been a longtime scholar at the Heritage Foundation, and was a speaker last month at the American Enterprise Institute. Do the math.

In recent years, the Disney Studios have gone back to an art form that was once very popular – the animated short film. The company had great success with the 2012 short, "Paperman," that earned an Academy Awards.
The latest animated short, "Feast," will be shown with the feature film "Big Hero 6." It's the story of a dog and his master who share a food bond.
Executive producer, Kristina Reed, says that despite the success Disney has had with short films, they aren't easy to get made because the company's focus is making feature films. Often artists are only available for a short time because of their commitment to the feature film productions.
"You're trying to sort of thread through and make a consistent, consistent progress with random resources becoming available at random moments in time. That's a challenging way for a director to work on the short, but your job as a producer is to try and make that as smooth for the director as possible," Reed says.
One of the consistent members of the team was Patrick Osborne who directed "Feast." He was the animation supervisor on "Paperman."
The idea of show a dog's life from the point of view of his food dish started with Osborne making a one-second video of his own dinners for a year. When the final footage was put together – running about six minutes – it was obvious how much could be told about a person by what they are eating.
"Now the trick is, it's really hard to just literally show food and have the audience come along, so he needed some other vehicle to bring us along that journey," Reed says. "And when he came up with the idea of a dog, it really struck him as the right choice, because dogs live in patterns.
"And when something changes in their pattern, that means something changing in their bigger life. So he thought, let me show where the food is changing through the dog, the audience will see that something bigger is happening."
And that happens through Disney's latest short animated film, "Feast."

As you scroll through to the bottom of this recipe, the preparation list may look long and seem complicated. It really isn't. Let me speak in third person just for a sec, "Amie Sue don't do complicated!" lol I just made clear step by step instructions and shared some tips. So, please don't be intimidated. :)
After making these, I decided to dip them in chocolate, this is purely optional. If you choose to, you could dip half of it, all of it, or even put the chocolate in between the layers. There are so many ways that you could dress them up or not! I for one enjoy the unadulterated flavor of black licorice. :) I have run this wonderful "candy" past several black licorice lovers and they gave approving moans and groans. To me, when a treat leaves a person speechless, I know it is a winner.
My dad and mom were shocked to find out that the licorice flavoring ingredient used was fennel! Fresh or dried, fennel is very good for you. Fennel seeds are a rich source of dietary fiber. Much of this roughage is metabolically inert insoluble fiber, which helps increase bulk of food by absorbing water throughout the digestive system and easing constipation. In addition, dietary fibers bind to bile salts (produced from cholesterol in the liver) and decrease its re-absorption in colon, thus helping lower serum LDL cholesterol levels and eliminate stomach-ache and stimulate digestion.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Please let me know if you try it. Blessings…

Decorating with Chocolate Ingredients:
One of the greatest joys when creating raw food recipes is experimenting with different ingredients… a practice that I highly encourage. Daily I get questions regarding substitutions. Of course we all might have different dietary needs and tastes which could necessitate altering a recipe. I love to share with you what I create for myself, my husband, friends and family. I spend a lot of time selecting the right ingredients with a particular goal in mind, looking to build a certain flavor and texture.
So as you experiment with substitutions, remember they are what they sound like, they are substitutes for the preferred item. Generally they are not going to behave, taste, or have the same texture as the suggested ingredient. Some may work, and others may not and I can't promise what the results will be unless I've tried them myself. So have fun, don't be afraid, and remember, substituting is how I discovered many of my unique dishes.
Amie Sue – I miss u!!! Would you send me 10 and I will happily pay whatever the asking price is? I have many a fan on this side of the pass… And I know they taste as good as they sound!
You are so right about that dry date inspection. Once
I cut into a dry date and a puff of black mold came out
of it! Almost like a "Genie in a bottle" freaked me out!
Never thought that was possible but I saw it happen.
These look yummy Amie Sue thanks for sharing your
treats with us. :)
Hi Amie!
I've been following you and passing your site on to many others. Really enjoying your creativity and elegant display of food.
Two questions: when you call for lecithin, do you mean powdered or liquid? I'm going to do your frosting and also your raspberry lemon cake for thanksgiving and I am uncertain which lecithin to buy? Both?
Also, any chance you would be interested in teaching some workshops in Utah next year as part of a workshop series? Love to discuss the possibilities.

Healthy women experiencing a straightforward pregnancy should be encouraged to give birth in a midwife-led unit rather than a traditional labour ward, according to draft guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
NICE also provisionally says that a home birth could be as safe as hospital for low-risk pregnant women who have already had at least one child, and that midwives should discuss all options with women in their care.
NICE guidance from 2007 currently recommends that women should be given the choice of where they want to give birth, but urges caution if a home birth or delivery in a midwife-led unit is planned.
"Home births are just as safe as other settings for low-risk pregnant women who already have at least one child"
Christine Carson
The institute said it was revising its recommendations in light of new evidence, and a draft version of the updated guidelines has been published for consultation.
Almost three-quarters of a million (729,000) babies were born in England and Wales in 2012 − a rise of about 20% from 2002, the institute said today.
Christine Carson, clinical guideline programme director for NICE, said: "Since we published our original guidance, more evidence has come to light about the benefits and risks associated with giving birth at home, in an independent or hospital-based midwife-led unit and on a traditional labour ward.
"We now know that these units are as safe as traditional labour wards for all low-risk pregnant women and are more likely to result in a better birth experience with less medical intervention," she said.
"The evidence also highlights that home births are just as safe as other settings for low-risk pregnant women who already have at least one child, but not for women expecting their first baby.
"However, every woman should ultimately have the freedom to choose where she wants to give birth and be supported in her choice," she added.
"There also has to be more investment in midwife-led care, in midwife-led units and in home births"
Cathy Warwick
The draft guidance is welcomed by the Royal College of Midwives.
RCM chief executive Cathy Warwick said: "We certainly welcome the change in guidance. The evidence shows that for low-risk women giving birth in a midwife-led unit or at home is safe, indeed may be safer than hospital.
"Women also tend to have higher satisfaction rates and a better birth experience when giving birth in these environments."
Cathy Warwick
But she added: "The choices recommended by NICE have to be commissioned at a local level by clinical commissioning groups. There also has to be more investment in midwife-led care, in midwife-led units and in home births.
"Additionally, we need to ensure that midwives being trained get jobs when they qualify so that we have the right number of midwives to deliver these services," she said. "It is then that a choice that exists in theory will become a choice that exists in reality for all women."
The college also said it was supportive of the NICE guidance's updated stance on cord clamping, which is included in the draft.
Following a review of evidence, it said that once midwives have delivered the baby and administered oxytocin to deliver the placenta, they should not clamp the cord earlier than one minute after the birth of the baby unless the baby's heartbeat falls below 60 beats per minute or there are concerns about the cord.
They should clamp the cord within five minutes to deliver the placenta manually (controlled cord traction), if the final stage of labour is being "actively managed".
However, midwives should support a woman's choice if she asks for her baby's cord to be clamped and cut later than five minutes.

My head might explode.
I want to know...
how many 50 lb bags of cement Mitt or any of his boys have ever heaved up onto their shoulder to carry anywhere?
how many squares of asphalt shingles have they carried up a ladder onto a roof?
how many night shifts have they pulled?
has a RMoney ever even pushed a lawnmower?
or shoveled snow?
swung a hammer?
turned a wrench?
sanded a piece of wood?
have any of these fuckers ever mended a pair of socks?
or patched the knees of their kids pants?
Work does bring dignity, so long as that work is appreciated and rewarded by society.
I don't need to be lectured about the dignity of work by some jackass for whom the word callous describes their economic policies rather than the effect "dignity" has on ones hands!

1. I would amend this slightly
Has Romney needed to work to feed his family or himself. I mean I kind of wouldn't be surprised if he has shoveled snow or swung a hammer; but he didn't need to. He wasn't going to go hungry if he didn't do those kind of tasks. He could call someone in at any time to do that sort of work.

5. Hanging a picture doesn't count as swinging a hammer
I doubt he could drive a framing nail without hitting his thumb.
And sure he could call someone in at any time, but would he offer them fair compensation? Would he actually appreciate their contribution or view it as dignified? Mitt and his like need to be called out on this shit over and over, and workers need to punish these fuckers as was done nearly 100 years ago.
And how many people that actually do work for a living get the appreciation required for their work to actually be considered dignified? How is having your goddamned salary cut in half at GE dignified?
The 99% still have the power to turn around the productivity v. wages graph if we are willing to stand together and say enough is enough. You fuckers like paying less for more? Let's see how you like it when we reverse the slope of their fucking productivity curve.

14. that's fine...
add to the list those things that count as work in your view.
I could go on from my list to include all means of helping your fellow man: cop; fireman; doctor; nurse.
Other things that qualify as work: waiting tables; cashier; stock clerk; secretary...
No doubt the list goes on. But as I was taught as child growing up in the 60s and 70s, you need to use your gifts and your skill to contribute to society and if you do you deserve to be rewarded and appreciated. A career as a "taker" was literally a foreign concept to me until I had already become an adult.
Even if one has "all kinds of skills" whatever they might be, if their primary use is to take more for themselves at the expense of others they deserve contempt.

21. those things you added is what I was thinking of
there's just as much dignity in those jobs as in swinging a hammer. A lot of times those are thought of as things you "end up" doing if you can't get "real work." So thanks for adding them.

25. Hmmmm. Well I guess there's a few questions here
But first of all -my issue is that Romney never needs to work, and the stuff he does to earn his money is societally destructive. And that's the key thing; most American's aren't in that position. You either go to work or you go hungry. Working because you gotta work is a whole different lifestyle from working because you want to work.
I guess my other question is that the line between being a taker and a giver is pretty nebulous in a lot of cases; like say people who work in Human Resources. Are they takers? or Givers?

32. ah yes... takers v. givers
there's certainty much gray area there. one could even argue that most Americans are takers even if they devote their lives to helping other Americans since as a group we pretty much take way more than we're entitled to and leave much of the world wanting.
This is why we need real liberals again and why the RFK quote in H20Man's thread really moved me http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002543005.

42. Wow
I don't think I ever felt like I got a great deal of dignity from any job. Great post by the way--but seriously, most jobs you do because you need the money. And the real dignity would come from actually being compensated enough--which I don't think I ever was.
Now did I love it a few times, when I was in bands, playing my horn, and singing rock and disco sometimes? Yea, I loved it, it was awesome, and interestingly I'm not sure if it was dignified all the time, but it was fun, and it didn't really pay well either. But it sure was more tolerable.
Dignity may be over-rated.

especially now, with so many people out of work, being a working person means the struggle to GET a job, and to KEEP it, so they can continue working. Those are things that Ann Romney for example never had to worry about.

23. Romney is a bum on the plush
The bum on the rod is hunted down
As the enemy of mankind;
The other is driven around to his club
And feted, wined and dined.
And they who curse the bum on the rods
As the essence of all that is bad
Will greet the other with a winning smile
And extend him the hand so glad.
The bum on the rods is a social flea
Who gets an occasional bite;
The bum on the plush is a social leech,
Blood-sucking day and night.
The bum on the rods is a load so light
That his weight we scarcely feel,
But it takes the labor of dozens of men
To furnish the other a meal.
As long as you sanction the bum on the plush,
The other will always be there,
But rid yourself of the bum on the plush
And the other will disappear.
Then make an intelligent, organized kick,
Get rid of the weights that crush;
Don't worry about the bum on the rods,
Get rid of the bum on the plush!

I didn't have to take out massive student loans because college was affordable back then. I can't imagine what young people have to go through today to get an education and it will just get harder.

Most work is tedious,routine and dull. If its physical its hard on the body as well. Very few jobs pay well anymore and so I don't know how dignified can describe some jobs. In the months since I lost my job I have discovered that the only thing that really mattered in the end was the people I worked with and the friendships forged. Oh yeah the pay was pretty good and the benefits were generous so sure I miss the money and the bennies. I found out recently that apparently the entire library of the old company was dumped because they couldn't get enough for it in the bankruptcy auction. So what did all of our work, our effort, and our dedication amount to in the end - NOTHING. The only thing that mattered was our fellow workers - our friends.

55. I did industrial temp work when I was an unemployed Ph.D.
If I could, I would make that whole country club set work industrial temp: work in a hospital laundry or packing airline meals or pulling hot plastic out of molding machine with inadequate gloves--all while standing on a concrete floor while someone walks around yelling "Faster! Faster! No talking!" Oh, yes, and with a 20-minute lunch break and one 10-minute coffee break between 7:00AM and 3:30PM.
It was one of the most unpleasant but also one of the most educational periods of my life, the perfect antidote to attending two Ivy League universities for graduate school.
If I had the power, I would require a year as an industrial temp as a prerequisite for an MBA. What we have now are children of affluence getting MBAs and becoming adults of affluence with no real understanding of how their subordinates live.
In this one respect, I think Mao was onto something, although I wouldn't have used his tactic of giving people 24 hours' notice to settle their affairs before sending family members off into different parts of the country for five or more years. I like the idea of making the rich "learn from the peasants."

that required a trimester of work in the trenches of the industry each year.
As a freshman I worked in a ship yard overhauling giant aluminum mine sweeper diesel engines and worked in the cramped propeller shaft alleys of frigates using short wrenches that were hit with 50lb lump hammers to tighten sections of propeller shafts together.
Sophomore were required to work as engine room cadets aboard a merchant marine ship.
Juniors and seniors finally get the opportunity to work in engineering firms designing the stuff that they had learned to actually build, maintain and live in.

61. There's no dignity in "work" or "jobs". Sisyphus has a job, doing work.
There's dignity in accomplishing things of worth to people. Some jobs offer much more leeway at this than others. Some, like working on an assembly line making land mines, may not have ANY value in this way, but merely be of economic value to someone - I'll pay you all to help me beat up my neighbor's kids.
But if you worked for the post office for forty years, you don't deserve praise because you went to work every day and did a job. You and I both know that someone can do both those things, and nothing else but waste resources. You deserve praise because you made 5,000 people happier today, and kept 1000 more out of trouble, and helped keep 400 local businesses in operation. And you did THAT for forty years. Damn right that deserves dignity.
There's equal dignity in accomplishing things of worth to people via routes other than paid employment. Anyone who assists in any way in raising children, from making a playground safer to writing books to inspecting utilities to actually being a mother, father, or child care worker. Anyone who makes the lives of others around them easier or more rewarding. Volunteers. Off-the-grid workers. Good Samaritans.
But no one anywhere is going to tell me, or anyone else I know, that we need to have a BOSS in order to have DIGNITY. In fact, I'd argue that in many cases they're mutually exclusive.

Had the same problems on my Synology NAS but have solved it and I am now running backups since August last year and had not a single failure, even from a Macbook backing up over Wifi.
If anybody wants to try here are the steps:
1) Create a new share called "Backups" and make the owner "admin" (Apple TM server also use "Backups")
2) Do NOT select "Backups" as your Time Machine share (under Contorl Panel - Win/Mac/NFS - Mac File Server) - just leave it as "Not selected yet"
3) Go to the Mac you want to backup and via Finder mount the "Backups" share manually as "admin"
4) Go into TimeMachine preferences and selected the mounted "Backups" share as destination
5) You can now disconnect the manually mounted "Backups" share
6) When Time Machine wants to do it's first backup it will ask for user and password, enter "admin" and password - only needed one time it will remeber the credentials
That's worked for me and I don't have anymore issues.
Last hint is don't try to use an old TM sparsebundle. Just let TM create a new one the first time the backup runs.
I have a Synology DS210j and have this problem my new Macbook Pro (10.8.2), but my old iMac (10.7.3) works fine. What will happen to the Time Machine back up of my iMac if I follow these instructions?

I have a Synology 1511+ and had the same issue. Except my backups would only corrupt every month or two.
After lots of searching I found the issue is backing up over wifi to the NAS. I found the solution to this was to install a small app: Time Machine Scheduler (free).
It can be found here: http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html
All you need to do is install, and set backups only to run over Ethernet. Works great for me as I use my mac 50/50 between my workstation and wirelessly around the house. Haven't had an issue since.

Just chiming in with an update on Aschmid's fix suggestion.
Still working ~7days in.
Also, Synology got back to me regarding a support ticket i opened. Here is the copy/paste:
Hi Austin,
Thank you for the inquiry.
As we know, Time Machine mechanism is continuously improved by Apple. According to our feedback and experience, the corrupted sparsebundle issue almost happens on all devices, no matter if the back up is performed to a Time Capsule or a NAS, like this:
This may be a corruption of the sparsebundle file itself.
I would recommend try repairing the sparsebundle to see if it helps:
Mount your Time Capsule.
Open a Finder window and locate your Time Capsule in the sidebar.
Double-click your Time Capsule.
Click your Backups folder and locate your backup sparsebundle.
Note: If you use a Time Capsule with multiple Macs, you can identify the affected sparsebundle by looking for the affected computer's name in the filename. You can also use the hexadecimal MAC address to identify the correct sparsebundle. To locate the MAC address of the affected computer, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu and locate port en0. The MAC address will appear in your sparsebundle file name, but without colons (for example "mymac_0015abc5d6e0.sparsebundle").
Drag the sparsebundle to the Disk Utility sidebar.
Select the sparsebundle, then click Repair.
If the repair is successful, attempt to backup via Time Machine. If the repair is not successful, delete the sparsebundle and start a new backup.
For more information, please follow the link below:
Hope this helps and please also let us know if you have more input on this issue.

hey austin_george
of course i can not give a solution, as this is a perfectly proven bug, not a user problem. the most interesting post here is from rrichard (sept4 and sept11 2012, maybe page 6-7 of 15 in this discussion), who had the most advanced AppleCare contact. briefly, there might be a problem during (first?) backup caused by energy saving issues.
i had this problem in july2012. i did two things and i am fine until now, even though the electricity in my house is rahter old, i have a thirdparty NAS, a fourth party wifi router and i backup wireless:
1. i could repair my backup following the insttructions on garth.net
2. in energy saving settings, i UNchecked "enable HDD sleep" (or however this might be called in the english OSX version)
maybe i was just lucky (i fear that this is very likely), maybe this is a workaround.

Evening Macpear,
I'll turn off that feature and get cracking with a new backup. I'm not keen on repairing my backup every week to use it.
I am looking to can the DS212j and get a Proliant N40L to handle backups from now on as this really can't continue...
As always, i'll keep this thread updated with how im getting on.

in response to austin_george
good luck. i hope i was clear that i referred to the energy saving settings in OS X : "System preferences - Energy Saver - Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" ? If not, it might also be a good idea to verify that your NAS doesn't fall asleep when being utilized by TimeMachine. in my case, the energy saving option for my nas is disabled as well.
for first new backup, maybe consider choosing "never" for Computer sleep as well.

Just an update. Since my last full backup and verify procedure in September, my September backups are still intact.
iMac & Macbook air 2 TCs all gigabit wired UPS power on everything. I am allowing TM to use both TCs, this has not caused a problem so far.
I have also added a 3TB Seagate drive thunderbolt-connected to the iMac. I have 2 of these drives and switch them out monthly, keeping one off-site. This addition has not caused any problems either.

I did think you meant the NAS... I have made the change on the NAS, and will check my macbook pro if i have that option enabled.
I doubt it though as i have the 15" retina pro with an SSD.
Thanks RRichard, so you use wired connections between your mac and TC's exclusively?

Well, I have the same problem as everybody else, and I don't think I see a solution here (so please fix the problem, Apple). However, I can share a couple of tips I've picked up that might reduce the pain of living with the problem for other users.
I have an iMac and a MacBookPro that are both a couple of years old. I have a Western Digital MyBookLive NAS drive. I bought it because a colleague at work had the same setup and reported that Time Machine worked OK on it. I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard directly to Mountain Lion. I used to have a TC but it died.
I have had a lot of problems because of having equipment from several sources, with no single company/organisation wanting to take any responsibiltiy. I persevered because my colleague had a working setup, so I knew it was possible. Otherwise I might have sent the whole thing back.
* I had to get my ISP (TalkTalk) to change my router from a Huawei to a DLink. The Huawei doesn't support a lot of Mac stuff; Bonjour things drop out of sight, and so did my Airport Express as remote speakers. in fact, I almost replaced my AE as faulty before I found out that the problem was with the router. Moral: the router is more important than you might think, and it's worth noting that the Apple TC is a router as well as a NAS drive.
* I needed new firmware on the MBL that I had to download and install manually. WD had given the version that supported TM the same id number as the older version that didn't, so auto-update didn't recognise it as a newer version.
* Finally everything was working as advertised, with backups running both wired and wireless, except for this verification problem. The problem is more frequent on the MacBook, which uses wifi, but it still happens every couple of weeks on the iMac, which is wired.
* The biggest PITA about having to make a new backup is the time it takes. I found that, if I reboot the Mac and the NAS and the router before I initiate the backup, it runs very much faster. Almost acceptably so. I also deselect the backup disk and switch off TM, then re-select the disk and turn it on again, because otherwise the new backup comes up with other errors, e.g. the backup disk is in the wrong format or unavailable.

I was faced with problem of my Timemachine "ignoring" existing back ups and starting a new one
If you go there

The synology admin suggestion worked for a bit, but I just got the Start new backup error message again. Looks like we need to wait for Apple to solve this.

After an absence of any firm location data since early October, Erzhan - our most experienced traveller - has just popped up on our radar again. For the fourth year running we can confirm he is now back in a wintering flock in Sudan.
Middle East
Preventing Extinctions
The winners of The World's Rarest Birds international photo competition have just been announced. The competition, launched in 2010, aimed to secure images of the 566 most threatened birds on Earth for a new book highlighting their plight.
Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP) Terrestrial Programme staff, in collaboration with BirdLife International staff Dr Mark O'Brien, recently returned from a seven-day expedition to the high ridges of the island surveying Nahnalaud, Nihpit, and Kupwuriso forest in search of the Critically Endangered Pohnpei Starling. Pohnpei is the largest island in the Federated States of Micronesia.
Spoon-billed Sandpiper conservation has received a vital boost from BirdLife Species Champion and award-winning expedition travel company Heritage Expeditions.
Spoon-billed Sandpiper is one of the world's strangest-looking birds and certainly the weirdest wader. It is a small bird with, as its name suggests, a spoon-shaped bill. The species is listed as Critically Endangered by BirdLife International because it has an extremely small population, which is getting smaller This means that it is at real risk from extinction in the next few years.
A wintering Chinese Crested Tern Sterna bernsteini has been seen and photographed in Pulau Lusaolate, north Seram, Indonesia, representing the first record of the species outside the breeding season for over 70 years.
During the summer of 2010, forest fires ravaged parts of Madeira, a Portuguese island and home to Europe's rarest seabird, Zino's Petrel. However, BirdLife supporters around the world rallied to help.
Europe and Central Asia
BirdLife's work to save two key resting and feeding sites in China, used by one of the world's oddest and most appealing waterbirds is to receive support from Disney's Friends for Change initiative.
The World's Rarest project team is delighted to report a fantastic response to The World's Rarest Birds Photo Competition which closed at the end of August.
Recent surveys of Prince Ruspoli's Turaco suggest that rates of habitat change have been very fast in the northern part of the species's range, where large areas have been converted to agriculture and plantations of exotic trees.
After an absence of transmissions from our satellite tagged birds for several weeks, a new transmission just received from Dinara is very welcome news and marks another important milestone in our growing understanding of the complexity of Sociable Lapwing migration. Two transmissions recorded on November 13th confirm Dinara has now arrived in central Pakistan, in the Indus floodplain not far from Shujaabad.
On October 10th, 554 Sociable Lapwings were located in central eastern Turkey - the largest flock of migrating Sociable Lapwings encountered so far this autumn marking the discovery of an important new staging site.
Middle East
The most comprehensive assessment of the world's vertebrates confirms an extinction crisis with one-fifth of species threatened. However, the situation would be worse were it not for current global conservation efforts, according to a study launched at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, CBD, in Nagoya, Japan
Continuing the series of educational materials for schools in the Americas, this poster-sized fact file highlights the Critically Endangered White-winged Guan (Penelope albipennis), found only in the dry forests of northern Peru, within the Tumbesian region.
Fichas informativas sobre aves amenazadas y migratorias
After more than a month without word, Dinara (a Sociable Lapwing) sprung a double surprise today when we received not only a new transmission with details of her current location but also confirmation that she is in southern Uzbekistan!

Preventing Extinctions
As part of education materials for schools in South America, a series of posters has been produced to celebrate World Bird Festival in October. The seven poster size fact sheets highlight conservation achievements as well as the plight of seven threatened or migratory species in the Americas.

Turns out, the perfect candidate was right under our noses. John Laurinaitis will be doing the honors.
