Applying Israel's Homeland Security Experience Worldwide
No other country has had such extensive experience in Homeland Security as Israel. Consequently the country's companies bring comprehensive solutions, impressive achievements and immense capabilities to the Homeland Security market. This innovative range of solutions, which enhance the security of people and property as well as aircraft, airports, borders, infrastructures and installations, is the result of living under constant threat of terror attacks.
These leading edge systems, many of them based on systems developed for the Israel Defense Forces, include video, closed-circuit television (CCTV) and digital surveillance systems, sensors and access control networks to complement conventional fencing and burglar alarm packages. Other companies have pioneered biometric technologies for ID verification, while computer and Internet security are guaranteed by encryption technologies that protect data transmission, e-commerce and m-commerce.
No other country has such a high percentage of former army, security forces and police officers with experience in combating terrorism who can act as consultants in developing security concepts and systems for each unique situation.
Israel Aircraft Industries ELTA Systems Group has developed new technologies for new threats. These include Flight Guard to protect commercial aircraft from terrorist missile attack, and C4 systems for protecting borders, coastlines and installations. Elbit Systems has comprehensive security systems and turnkey solutions for prevention, detection, deterrence and response.
In defense against terrorist or criminal activity the first line of protection remains good fencing. Magal Security Systems is a veteran Israeli company in the field of perimeter fencing. The company's computerized security systems automatically detect, locate and identify the nature of outdoor intrusions. The company's offerings range from taut wire detection to active infrared photoelectric detection.
Trans Security Systems and Technology provides electronic surveillance and perimeter security using fiber optic technology, while Galdor Systems offers integrated security systems and turnkey solutions to perimeter protection. Laser Guard is a high-tech start-up that has developed an alert system incorporating advanced software algorithm design. Fences and doors also need reliable locks and Mul-T-Lock develops and manufactures high-security locking solutions such as cylinders, padlocks and master-key systems for institutional, commercial, industrial and residential applications.
Controp Precision Technologies has developed a real time, advanced panoramic intruder protection system that automatically detects motion within a wide panoramic view. D-Fence Electronic and Intrusion Systems offers a range of protection systems combined with fencing including sensors, alarms and electrified window bars and G.M. Advanced Fencing and Security Technologies specializes in electric fencing systems combined with sensor cables, a computerized control center and integrated perimeter security.
Maximum Security (1984) Ltd. offers intruder detector systems based on motion detectors, infrared barriers and anti-masking detectors, while Ortek manufactures sophisticated surveillance systems to complement fencing. Opgal Optronics manufactures and markets thermal imaging systems, while PIMA Electronics leads in control panels and central monitoring systems. Cellocator is a leading AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) equipment provider for fleet management and security solution.
Israeli companies have also led the way in adapting burglar alarms to the 21st. century. Electronics Line (E.L.) 3000 provides innovative security with remote management solutions to the residential and commercial markets. This trend of integrating detectors, sensors, wireless systems, CCTV cameras and remote monitoring so that intruders are not only detected but captured on film is characteristic of the products of many Israeli developers and manufacturers of alarm systems. Av-Gad Systems develops, produces and markets alarm systems and electronic devices, while Visionic has developed a wireless home network and alarm systems.
In contrast, Elmo-Tech has developed systems, which keep people in, rather than preventing intruders from infiltrating. A fully owned subsidiary of Dmatek, which is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, Elmo-Tech has developed advanced electronic monitoring systems which keep track of prisoners, or criminals under house arrest or on probation. Elmo-Tech's systems have been successfully tried out by the prisons system in Britain. This is a spin-off of their original products to monitor the whereabouts of Alzheimer's disease sufferers.
An integral part of any sophisticated perimeter fencing and building or installation alarm system is Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) so that security staff can visually monitor movements outside and inside of buildings and fences.
Israeli companies have pioneered leading edge systems that combine CCTV with the latest software, communications, command and control solution packages.
Crow Electronic Engineering develops, manufactures and markets such innovative electronic detection equipment including digital CCTV and central monitoring systems. VideoDomain Technologies provides leading edge remote surveillance solutions to protect businesses and transportation networks. The company's enabling technology allows it to stream high quality, real-time video through copper wires. Vigilant provides intelligent video solutions while Migvan Security Devices (MSD) has produced variable speed dome cameras.
In the area of aviation security Nice Systems has developed video recorders which when installed in aircraft enable pilots to view events in the passenger cabin and broadcast video signals to ground control centers during the flight. For airport security, A-EYE Advanced Vision Technologies has developed software whose applications include the more efficient operation of x-ray security scanning systems for detecting concealed weapons and explosives. Vidisco has developed innovative and portable X-ray systems.
However, advanced technologies have also created new problems, particularly in the realm of data security. Computers and all the secrets they contain are vulnerable when linked to worldwide networks via the telephone, while e-commerce and m-commerce will only be able to flourish if security can be guaranteed for payments made over the Internet.
The Internet has opened up global horizons but it also presents new dangers. Hackers can obtain secret information, while viruses can wipe out the hard disks of millions of computers within a relatively small time. Israeli companies have been world leaders in pioneering secure communications and privacy over security networks.
Check Point Software Technologies, for example, has successfully developed products guaranteeing secure enterprise connectivity. Products include the enterprise security and virtual private network suite FireWall-1 and one of the industry's premiere band-with management solutions FloodGate-1. These products have enabled Check Point, which is publicly traded on the US NASDAQ market, to record annual sales of nearly $500 million.
An additional Israeli company specializing in "firewall" products includes Security 7, which was acquired by the US giant Computer Associates. Security 7 has developed "Safegate" offering industrial strength security and protecting enterprise networks from unauthorized contact. Other Israeli companies engaged in this sector include DataSec. Specializing in IT security services, DataSec builds data security infrastructures for its clients.
Israeli firms also offer expertise in the sphere of information surveillance. Verint Systems, known until recently as Comverse Infosys and which recently had an IPO on NASDAQ, is a leading provider of analytic software solutions for communications interception, digital video security and surveillance, and enterprise business intelligence. A range of products for government and law enforcement agencies enables intelligent collection, storage, processing, monitoring, distribution and management of communications. Synel Industries has developed hardware and software for intelligent data collection including access control.
Another Israeli company, CipherActive, develops and markets accelerated standard encryption solutions, thus enabling wide usage of cryptography in resource constrained environments as well as in high volume systems.
Several companies have developed scanners, which recognize fingerprints to validate ID. Securit Electronic Security has assisted in the production of an automated biometric-based passport control systems. On-Track Innovations (OTI) combines the ability to support biometric identification with portable smart cards in such applications as a driver license, passport, social security information or other ID. OTI is traded on Germany's Neuer Markt.
In the area of pattern recognition technology, Imageid has developed a software, which is able to recognize a specific object within a group of like objects. This technology is important in the identification of people traveling in disguise. NNT Israel has also devised innovative face recognition and fingerprint technologies.
Israel's high-tech expertise and leading edge technologies and know-how have enabled various government authorities, organizations and businesses worldwide to stay one step ahead of terrorists and criminals. As those with malicious intent become ever more resourceful and sophisticated in their ability to penetrate the best guarded borders, installations and buildings, Israeli companies enable their clients to benefit from their experience in a world where new dangers are emerging as technology proliferates.

Rute Furillen
624 58 Lärbro
18 rooms
Johan Hellström
The hotels design is the brainchild of commercial photographer Johan Hellström. As one might expect from someone with an eye for stunning visuals, Hellströms creation is striking to behold. The building stands out against the surrounding landscape while at the same time acting as a natural extension of it, reflecting the former quarrys shapes and colors.
Hellströms reimagining of the factorys existing infrastructure began with the crumbling workers canteen. He and his wife renovated the space and created five rooms, open initially only to fellow photographers visiting Furillen in search of inspiration and unique shooting locations. However, their project was met with unanticipated success, and the couple decided to expand the hotel to 17 rooms, carrying out the construction using recycled local materials such as limestone, concrete and hardwood. Word of the Fabriken Furillens uniqueness spread, and before long, foreign tourists and trendy Stockholmers began to beat a path to the hotel, especially in summer.
The warm yet subdued interior allows visitors to fully appreciate Gotlands natural beauty. Rooms are styled in industrial shades of gray in order to complement their surroundings. However, the comfort on offer is anything but industrial: hotel rooms are equipped with luxurious Hastens beds, B&O televisions and stereos, free wireless Internet and Byredo bathroom amenities. The two hermit cabins, designed and decorated by Mats Theselius, provide a true nature experience in which visitors can rest and recharge no electricity, no running water but cabin guests can also easily access the hotel showers and restaurant.
Hellström approached the hotels construction from a guests perspective, hoping to welcome interactions between travelers; this makes the Fabriken Furillen an ideal location for groups and conferences. Facilities such as the Fotografiska, an exhibition area in an old wooden engine hall, and The Tunnel, a 115-meter-long dining area that seats up to 120 people, accommodate fashion shows by local designers and countless other events every year.

I had a request to have all 4 rooms together. 3 were on same floor. I had names of guest pre organized, it took a few phone calls for the person registering to see the notes. And the first morning people kept trying to enter the room, including staff and a stranger - Eventhough do not disturb was on the door - apparently someone had double booked the […] room and there was confusion.

Awesome room and location. But the service was a miss. They forgot to clean our room. When we noted it - it was evening and too late. Our room keys were disabled and took a while to get re activated.

"Never Responded to My Issue - Terrible Service"
The hotel is nice on the inside. I had a large room that was very clean. This was a business trip for two nights. At no point during my trip did my shower produce hot, or even warm, water. It was ice cold the entire time. I made six attempts to have this fixed with no success. When it was clear that they were disregarding my request, I asked to switch […] rooms and was unable to due to overbooking on their end. After I left, I attempted to contact the hotel manger, and assistant managers, no less than 10 times with ZERO response. Completely inconsiderate.

Staff was very friendly on arrival. Felt a warm connection and at home. The rooms are very spacious and beautiful. My boyfriend and I were celebrating his birthday, I must say the hotel was definitely a plus for couples getting away!Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Expensive, the appearance of service w/o any"
The main impression is one of poor training and incompetence of the staff. One would go down to the lobby and 10 people would ask if they could help you, but none of them actually did help. 3 separate times I asked for Bell assistance and never received it. I got a smoking room instead of the requested non-smoking room. They said they could switch it, […] but in when I got to my room it smelled like a cigar bar. Had to wait a day to switch rooms. The Ruth's Chris Steak house in the hotel was also poorly run. Sometimes OK service, often a lot of staff milling around doing nothing. The two other associated restaurants "Grand Isle" and "Mannings" also had extremely poor service and were not focused on the customer. This may be that many of the customers are getting "free food" by using the casino, and so there is no motivation of the restaurant staff of management to provide good service. Overall I would not recommend this hotel. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"Highly Recommend Harrah's Hotel"
We absolutely loved this hotel. From the attentive staff, to the beautiful contemporary rooms, multiple restaurants (with amazing room service) — We highly recommend this hotel! It was in walking distance to everything...the French Quarter, three separate Street Cars, shopping, and even the Aquarium/Zoo. The casino was a perfect size, and built so […] that you have the choice of going through it or not when exiting the hotel. The airport is about 23 miles away... I suggest taking a cab, and NOT the shuttle. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"highly rated, but would not stay there again"
the location is great...close to public transportation, and local attractions. I know this review is about the hotel, but the casino had the tightest slots I have ever seen..not once did I see anyone win enough to get excited about. Even though we gambled a lot, the only thing that got comped was our internet service which was overpriced to begin with. […] In our room, the bed was too hard for a pillow-top, thankfully the pillows were awesome. The faucet handles in the bathroom were in need of work...they were loose in place. The hotel was lovely, and all of the employees were polite, pleasant and helpful. Rooms were clean and room service was great. The big bathtub was a blessing after walking all over town, and needing a good long soak. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Great if you are adults only looking for a casino."
This hotel is not for families with children. It is a beautiful establishment, but I had to pay an extra $30 for my son to stay with us and I had to call housekeeping to get coffee packets sent to our room. It is fine for adults who are there to enjoy the casino atmosphere.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

"Bird doody"
Everyone was very friendly at the front desk area. Checked us in and out quickly. Only complaint was when we got our car back the next day from valet parking, it was so full of bird doo that it was disgusting. I could have parked in the self garage and got 30 minutes free play, did not know until after valeted. But I figured hey it is done and will […] be in a safe dry place, NO! I think they parked it under a tree in the street. We were on vacation driving back to Houston and it was so gross. We finally stopped at a gass station and used the window cleaner thing to try and get some of it off but really made a bigger mess. Oh well other than that our stay was nice.

"Amazing Staff"
I have stayed at several hotels in New Orleans and Harrah's has the best staff of any by far. Check in and check out was pleasurable. I found the location to be more convenient than I expected. It is in walking distance of the French Quarter, the Superdome and Riverwalk. The hotel is separate from the casino so if gambling is not what you want to do […] you need never walk through the casino. It is also much better kept and cleaner than a large majority of the other hotels. The casino has several places to eat in all price ranges and the hotel has a Ruth Chris if spicy New Orleans food isn't for you. They offer both smoking and non-smoking rooms.

Hi I enjoy the cast very much but this is the third time this has happened. When I'm watching the cast, right in the middle or near the end, the advertisement loads and it resets the entire download so I need to download/watch the entire cast again from start. Can you guys arrange it so the advertisement plays at the start instead of randomly popping up? Or maybe make it so you can fast-forward and stream from a time length?
Again great work and I really enjoy the cast, but those random video ads ruin it.
Round Four link is not working for some reason plz fix it because I enjoy watching competitive replays.

Well good luck to both of your teams

Nope, link to the site and support thanks.

Ruth Bachman has been a kindergarten teacher, a childbirth educator, an aerobics instructor, a children's choir director, a travel guide and a volunteer coordinator. In February of 2003, she was a left-handed woman, wife and mother in apparent good health. She ate reasonably well, was physically active, had annual checkups, practiced yoga, attended church regularly, volunteered in the community and even read to four-year-olds weekly!
Following an early-2003 diagnosis of very high grade malignant fibrous histiosytoma in her left wrist, she told her doctor that she would not accept amputation. He encouraged her to accept—to choose—life without her left hand. Surgery to remove her forearm and hand was performed on Friday the 13th of June, 2003, one month earlier than planned. Today… she is a right-handed woman, wife, mother and grandmother in apparent good health. She eats reasonably well, is physically active, has annual checkups, practices yoga, attends church regularly, volunteers in the community and reads to her grandchildren weekly. Her inspiring philosophy is: "If cancer is the narrow spot in the hourglass, and I am the sand, then I have traveled from the top, through the tight spot, to the bottom. I am the same sand—but with a different arrangement." Ruth lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota with her husband, Dale, who is best known to the garden center industry as the CEO of Bachmans'. |

Mayes co-hosts Arizona Solar Summit 2011
Kris Mayes
Kris Mayes
, faculty director of the Program on Law and Sustainability, recently co-hosted the Arizona Solar Summit 2011. Other co-hosts were Gary Dirks, director at Lightworks, a multidisciplinary effort to leverage ASU's unique strengths, particularly in renewable energy fields, and Todd Hardy, ASU's Vice President of Research.
Mayes, a graduate of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, also participated in the closing panel at the Aug. 2-3 summit at the University of Phoenix Stadium. It is the first in a series of ASU Solar Summits, including one that the College of Law will host at the Arizona Biltmore next spring.
The summit brought together industry leaders, major landowners, research institutions and federal, state and local government representatives to discuss policies, projects and collaborations necessary to significantly advance the solar energy industry, on a national and regional scale.
It included a discussion of challenges and proposed solutions associated with key topics:
Supporting and growing the country's leading industrial cluster in renewable energy in Arizona;
Developing a blueprint for sustainable utility leadership in the renewable energy marketplace of the future; and
Launching a program for the reform and integration of critical federal and state solar-based policy initiatives.
Before joining the College of Law, Mayes served as chair of the Arizona Corporation Commission and helped co-author the Arizona Renewable Energy Standard, which requires that by 2025 utilities must generate 15 percent of their overall energy portfolio from renewable sources, like wind solar, biomass, biogas, geothermal and other technologies. The Standard contains the most aggressive distributed generation requirement in the country, requiring utilities by 2011 to acquire 30 percent of their energy from residential or non-utility owned installations, like rooftop solar panels on someone's home or on a shopping mall.
Mayes also helped establish one of the most ambitious energy efficiency standards in the nation, requiring utilities to sell 22 percent less energy by 2010 than they would have under current forecasts.

I also posted this on another forum: Hey all, I'm looking for the advice of you Gettysburg Veterans. I'm trying to organize my trip to the Gettysburg Battlefield for the 150th. I've only been there once and it was a rather quick overview only. This time I'll be by myself and can take 4 or 5 days going through things. Since it will be the 150th I know it will be crowded. I would like to rent a car and do the auto tour and try to get some Ranger guided walks/tours in as well. I'm physically up to moderately difficult walking and hiking, but I want to relax as well. What places are definite must sees that you would not miss. How about those out of the way hikes where you can solo it for a private viewing/photo op. Are any of the commercial tours worth doing instead of fighting through the tourist auto traffic? What time of day is best for avoiding the crowds and viewing the battlefield? What about the town itself? Where would be a good place to park and spend a day walking through Gettysburg? Any favorite Pubs, Restaurants or museums to take advantage of? This may be the last opportunity I have to immerse myself into the Gettysburg phenomena. I want it to be a one-of-kind memory that I will be able to cherish for the rest of my days. So how about it afficiondos? What is your advice? |

If you are up to it take, or a rent, a bicycle. riding from town south along cemetry ridge and then loopng north on seminary ridge is as memorable as one can get. the bike has many advantages: you can stop anywhere, not nearly as noisy, plus it's easy to u-turn and detour. I carry water and a lunch in the backpack. on a bike you can often ride past the parking and right up to the destination. frankly, in the car, i often skip stops because of the effort to park and open the door HankC |

Excellent idea! I went thru Gettysburg in 2000. We were driving through the area but we were in a hurry and my female companion wasn't into the Civil War. So I get there and its really crowded. Like you said trying to find a place to park plus me being in a hurry just didn't work. I ended up just doing a drive by. So while I was physically there at the battlefied I don't claim it as a visitation. My older brother has been there several times including CWEA tours. He could probably host a tour there....so I'm hoping to meet up with him there sometime in the next couple years. The bike idea would be really good to do!

My wife and I have been to Gettysburg 3 times in the last 2 years, The first time was for our honeymoon and as a wedding present werecieved a copy of Petruzzi's The Complete Gettysburg Guide, and we went cover to cover exploring the places, more recently we have decided to spend one day exploring a different place on the field, we pack lunch and park the jeep and just spend the day walking the entire area (just be sure to wear tick spray and dress accordingly) I personaly always no matter what we r doind find myself drawn to the top of Big Round Top I go to see the rock carvings and there is not alot of people who go to the top I just find it to be peaceful and calming. I guess in short anytime spent on the field or walking in town is time well spent, its all history and threrfore to me worth the time. |

Bon Jovi Tickets
For almost three full decades, Bon Jovi has been rocking on the radio and across the country as one of the most enduring bands from the 1980s. The New Jersey natives have created some of the most lasting and most well known rock anthems of all time, including their most famous song, "Livin' on a Prayer," which has since become a mainstay at everything from karaoke clubs to weddings. Bon Jovi has managed to stay on the scene for so long in part because of their classic songs but also because of their willingness to adapt and try new sounds, which has made Bon Jovi tickets continue to sell out around the world.
If you are hoping to attend a show on the Bon Jovi concert schedule, look no further than the professionals of GoTickets.com, where Bon Jovi concert tickets can be found at the best prices for the best seats. GoTickets.com is easy to use so with a few simple clicks, you can find yourself at the heart of the action with the best seats to the Bon Jovi Because We Can Tour.
Since they first formed in '83, Bon Jovi, which includes lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, drummer Tico Torres, keyboard player David Bryan and bassist Hugh McDonald, have made hard rock classics. Some of their earliest appearances were as the opener for legendary bands like KISS and the Scorpions.
Their album "Slippery When Wet" produced not only "Livin' on a Prayer," but also hits "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Wanted Dead or Alive," which still remains popular in part because of its use as the theme song on the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch. They followed that effort up with "New Jersey," which brought them to new levels of success with hits "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There For You." Even after the '80s were through, Bon Jovi proved they were more than just another hair metal band and continued to have more and more success. Between Bon Jovi tours, the band has made 14 albums, which combined have sold more than 120 million copies around the world. Get your Bon Jovi tickets now to any of the upcoming concerts on the Because We Can Tour schedule.

A new year is upon us. At the opening of 2012 I would like to wax philosophical about something that is near and dear to my heart. It struck me as I pondered what to write about in this small space that is left over in the editorial section. Should I broach the subject of world peace? Famous visitors to the island? The near-certain, impending doom we face in October of this new year?
These things are all pretty important, but they pale in comparison to the pressing issue I feel I must address.
The News - Featured News
The Gasparilla Island Water Association's annual membership meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 17 at the Boca Grande Community Center.
As approved by GIWA's membership at the last annual meeting, we began charging in April of 2011 the $12 monthly assessment to fund relocating our water and sewer mains when the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority constructs new bridges on the causeway.
We have already accumulated $195,000, with an additional $24,575 added to the fund each month.
It may be 85 degrees out, but Boca Grande residents and visitors know how to celebrate the holidays in a big way. We wanted to give you a taste of what we get to see every night around the island, in case you're far away in the snow and the cold. Happy, Happy Holidays!
The Sligar snowflakes on Gilchrist Ave.
Conservation. Education. Sportsmanship. Those three little words can mean a whole lot for the future of the Boca Grande Pass, and both the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce and the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association are very aware of that.
An emergency meeting of the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association will be held in the next few days to address minor discrepancies that came up at Tuesday night's World's Richest Tarpon Tournament rules committee meeting.
"Nothing will be decided tonight," were the words that Capt. Cappy Joiner used at the meeting, and said he needed to consult with the rest of the BGFGA board before finalizing the rules.
The rules committee consists of Joiner, who is the president of the BGFGA, Capt. Waylon Mills, who is the vice president, Capt. Sandy Melvin, Chad Lach, Aaron Diaz and Richy Edwards.
This year will be the first since 2004 that the World's Richest will return. After the Chamber decided to take a hiatus from the event in 2005, the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association took over the tournament and renamed it the Boca Grande Fishing Guides Association Tarpon Tournament. They held the tournament every year until now.
There are some changes to the rules that include a larger fishing area, as well as leader and line weight requirements.
Hastings said they expect to have the World's Richest rules finalized sometime in the next two weeks.
"Education and conservation of the fishery, combined with sport fishing, will be the primary focus," Hastings said. "Safe boating, sportsmanship and responsible angling will be promoted in order to encourage a safe, successful, family-friendly event that will ensure the protection and proper stewardship of our natural resources, so that they may be enjoyed for generations to come."
The 2012 World's Richest Tarpon Tournament is scheduled for May 17 and 18. Capt. Tater Spinks on the Anejo was the first to sign up, with Capt. Sandy Melvin and Boca Blue close behind.
Anthropomorphic. It's a great word, but is usually used in a negative light. It may not be scientifically correct to give animals human emotions, but it isn't often that a wild animal will display as many human qualities as Lolo Weir's raccoon did.
The Boca Bay resident has done battle with the feral, ring-tailed menace for weeks, but last week's nocturnal maneuvers took the cake.

4AD are delighted to welcome SOHN to the fold.
First appearing late last year, SOHN (pronounced Sonn) has wasted no time in making a name for himself, both on record and live. Having escaped the lonely nighttime streets of London for the mountainous landscapes of Austria the previous year, SOHN's distinctive sound emerged naturally as he found inspiration in the contrasts between the two places he has called home. Considered and emotive, the results are astounding.
Informed by Vienna's rich legacy of electronic music, SOHN creates a sound that blends his haunting vocals with a backdrop of analogue drum machines and synths, which makes nods to the past, but always forges forward into the new. Aside from emphasising the soulfulness of his voice, his lyrics expertly play with the phonetics of language, wrapping his sonorous vocals around the gaps between sentences and lending those words more prominence.
Camera Obscura have revealed further details of their fifth studio album, Desire Lines, set for release on June 3rd/4th via 4AD.
Desire Lines started life in 2011 - shortly after the release of their 4AD debut My Maudlin Career – as demos put together in singer Tracyanne Campbell's flat. Revisiting those songs a couple of years later, the band made the decision to decamp from their native Glasgow to Portland, Oregon to work with GRAMMY-nominated producer Tucker Martine (R.E.M., Spoon, My Morning Jacket), enlisting Neko Case and My Morning Jacket's Jim James to contribute vocals along the way.
"A great songwriter at his most relaxed and direct." Daily Telegraph (5/5)
"A work of immense beauty and scale… A stunner." Uncut (9/10)
"It never feels over-done; rather every flourish feels vital and necessary." Record Collector (4/5)
"A brilliantly written collection and an album of the year." Metro (4/5)
"Beam grows in confidence with each release." The Independent on Sunday (4.5/5)

Indians, the musical alter ego of Denmark's Søren Løkke Juul, finished his first North American co-headline tour with a very successful run at this year's SXSW, notably gracing the cover of the Arts section of the New York Times, being dubbed a "Festival Breakout" by the Los Angeles Times, and gaining high praise from the Chicago Tribune and Pitchfork.

Volume 35, Number 34 Weekly Summary for Sep 24-Sep 30 Issued October 1, 2012 Rain Aids Fall Planting Multiple rain events over the past week were welcomed during the fall planting season. Storms mid-week produced hail and high winds across much of the state. Rain continued to fall throughout the week, with generous totals accumulated in the central part of the state. The state averaged 1.72 inches for the week, and all but the North Central and Northeast districts averaged over an inch of rain. Every Mesonet site recorded measurable rainfall, and Byars recorded six inches of rain. Even with the rain from the last week, rainfall totals for the last month are below normal for all but the Panhandle and West Central districts. Overall the drought is still ongoing and significant rain is needed to overcome the dry conditions. Some run-off was received in central and south central Oklahoma, but many livestock ponds are still in desperate need of run-off. The rainfall received was very beneficial for the ongoing small grain and canola planting, and will encourage more producers to plant in the coming weeks. Topsoil moisture conditions improved significantly from the previous week, with 42 percent rated adequate. Subsoil moisture conditions improved somewhat, with 89 percent of the state rated short to very short, down from 96 the week prior. There were only 5.0 days suitable for field work due to heavy rains. Small Grains: Wheat, rye and canola began to emerge, as planting continued. Wheat seedbed preparation was 85 percent complete by the end of the week, and 35 percent was planted. Fourteen percent of the wheat was emerged by Sunday. Rye seedbed preparation was 91 percent complete by week's end. Rye planting was 56 percent complete and 26 percent was emerged by Sunday. Oat seedbed preparation was two thirds completed by week's end and 13 percent was planted. Seedbed preparation was complete on 90 percent of canola fields by Sunday. Canola planting was halfway complete, and eight percent of the crop had emerged by the end of the week. Row Crops: Conditions of cotton, sorghum and soybeans were rated mostly poor to very poor. The corn harvest was 79 complete by the end of the week, 12 points ahead of the five-year average. Sorghum headed reached 95 percent complete and 86 percent of the crop was coloring. Sorghum mature reached 59 percent complete by week's end, and 42 percent of the sorghum crop was harvested, 20 points ahead of normal. Ninety-three percent of soybeans were setting pods by Sunday. Soybean plants reported as mature reached 30 percent by the end of the week eight percent of the crop was reported as harvested. The peanut crop was 64 percent mature by the end of the week and a small portion had been dug. Ninety-five percent of cotton plants were setting bolls by the end of the week and 68 percent had bolls opening. Hay: Conditions continued to be rated mostly poor to very poor. The third cutting of alfalfa was 95 percent complete and a fourth cutting of alfalfa was 52 percent complete by Sunday. The second cutting of other hay reached 64 percent complete, eight points behind the five-year average. Pasture and Livestock: Conditions of pasture and range continued to be rated mostly poor to very poor. Producers are haying livestock due to the limited availability of pasture. Livestock conditions were rated mostly good to fair. Low pond levels continued to be a serious concern, even after recent rainfall. Prices for feeder steers less than 800 pounds averaged $146 per cwt. Prices for heifers less than 800 pounds averaged $135 per cwt.
