Lehigh University to survey public attitudes on e-voting
Lehigh University will join with the Public Opinion Institute at Muhlenberg College to measure the attitudes of Pennsylvania voters toward the new electronic voting machines that will be deployed nationwide for the mid-terms election. Results are expected to be released during the first week of October.
At issue is how much trust voters have in the new systems, particularly when compared to consumer comfort level with other electronic transactions, such as shopping and banking.
The survey measuring voter attitudes comes at a time when the eyes of political observers are focused on Pennsylvania – a perennial battleground state that is currently supplying the backdrop for two high-visibility races. Republican incumbent Rick Santorum is being challenged for his Senate seat by State Treasurer Robert P. Casey Jr., the son of the former governor; and Democratic governor Ed Rendell is fending off a challenge from political newcomer Lynn Swann, a former Pittsburgh Steeler and member of the pro football Hall of Fame.
Many Pennsylvania counties (including both Lehigh and Northampton counties) introduced electronic voting machines to voters in the May '06 primary. This survey represents the first effort to gauge state voters' perceptions and attitudes since the machines were pressed into service this past spring.
The timing of the survey also dovetails with a number of recent news reports, which indicate growing concerns about e-voting that include insecure machinery and improper procedures to safeguard the sanctity of the vote.
In late September alone, a widely publicized report from Princeton University computer expert Ed Felten showed that a hacker with basic knowledge of computers was able to break into and alter vote totals on a Diebold voting machine in less than a minute. And, just this week, emergency legislation was proposed by Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) and Russ Feingold (D-Neb.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) to provide paper ballots for voters who are reluctant to use new electronic voting machines.
Dan Lopresti, associate professor of computer science and engineering at Lehigh and e-voting expert, served as advisor on the e-voting survey, along with Ziad Munson, assistant professor of sociology at Lehigh, and Chris Borick, professor of political science at Muhlenberg College and director of the college's Institute of Public Opinion.
"This survey will provide a window into voters' attitudes about the use of these machines," says Munson, who also is in the process of developing a social science data center at Lehigh. "Another very real concern is whether or not unease about these machines will accelerate a process of depolitization on the part of many potential voters because of a lack of faith in the system."
Adds Borick: "Faith in the outcome of an election is essential to a functioning democracy. Any significant level of distrust in the results undermines confidence in our election process."
Since 2002, dozens of states across the country have purchased electronic voting machines to comply with the 2002 Help America Vote Act, which was designed to phase out lever and punch-card machines after the Florida "hanging chads" debacle during the 2000 presidential election and recount.
Concerns about security of the machines were first raised by academics and voting experts – including Lopresti and his Lehigh colleagues – followed by election officials. The concerns became more urgent after the new technology led to widespread problems in several state primaries held in Ohio, Arkansas, Illinois, Maryland and elsewhere.

Looking for that perfect and unique place to stay while visiting Rock Creek, British Columbia, Canada? Or would you prefer to be in town instead of camping or being on the ranch?
If so, book a suite at the Old Cowboy Ranch, River View Log Cottages (formerly known as the Bunk House) in the quaint town of Rock Creek.
The accommodations include a stand alone 1 bedroom house (top) and restored historic log building that is now 4 separate self-contained cottages/suites with all the amenities of home including satellite TV .
Comfy beds and duvets await you after either cooking up a meal in your kitchen, or popping across the road to the Prospectors' Pub for a snack or full course meal and a cold beer or a glass of wine.
Cabin 4 (top of the page/above and immediately below) is a little stand alone house with 1 bedroom.
Like all the units, it has a beautiful view of the Kettle River and a fully equiped kitchen and satellite TV.
Cabin 2 (below) has 2 double beds. One in a separate bedroom and one in the main living area. Plus a pull out couch.
Cabin 3 is the largest unit. Pictured below is the double bed in the main living area and there is a separate bedroom with a queen sized bed. This unit has big windows with beautiful views of the Kettle River and a good sized bathroom.
Cabin 1 (below):
The Old Cowboy Ranch bunk house (now known as the Riverside Cottages) is one of the oldest building complexes in Rock Creek, BC. Originally constructed in 1865 it was home to the North West Mounted Police (now of course known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police/RCMP).
During the gold rush when the Governor General came to Rock Creek to decide whether the United States or Canada had the rights to Rock Creek, the bunk house is where he stayed.
Later the bunk house became the gold assay office.

On if this game will be as physical and intense as the last one… I think the game was pretty physical. I think it's going to be consistent, probably for a lot of these games; I don't see a reason why it would drop or –it could intense a little bit but I thought it was a pretty physical game and it will continue to be.
On his thoughts on the team's power play last game… Well we definitely had chances but I think quality chances, grade A chances, we can definitely try to improve on. We've still got to always have a net presence and if he's coming out and challenging we've got to have a guy out in front of his face.
On if he had considered playing center if David Krejci was unavailable for tonight's game… No not really. If it did happen I guess I have no problem playing center. Krech [Krejci] should be fine, I talked to him this morning – he looks good. So, I haven't really thought about it since.
On what adjustments they will make after last game… Well they had a couple chances in overtime and Timmy [Tim Thomas] played unbelievable, especially in overtime. Chris Kelly coming down and scoring that goal – that's a big goal. I don't think we played our best but we definitely have a lot of room for improvement. But at the end of the day we got the win and we want to improve on that game so we can have a game today that we're well prepared for and well prepared for.
On what adjustments the team will make to prevent breakdowns in the neutral zone… Well yeah like you said, they do a good job in the neutral zone but we've got speed and we've got some big bodies. I think we've just got to continue to play a simple game and get in on the forecheck. We're usually best when we play simple so if we can get the puck in, keep it away from the goalie – [Braden Holtby] seems to play it pretty well – so keep it away from him and hold on to it down low.
On how the team will create more shooting lanes… Well we know they've got guys on the back end, even up front, that block a lot of shots. It's just being conscientious of it, knowing who's on the ice and you know that [Karl] Alzner blocks a lot of shots and there's other guys that block a lot of shots. You've just got to be able to move around them and even just put them on net and try to create a rebound if you can't get a clear shot for a goal.

Halloween is fast approaching, and while the enthusiastic among us have been planning their costumes since November of last year, even more of us are just going to wing it at the eleventh hour. If you fall into the latter category, here are a few ideas to help you throw together a quick but clever last-minute Halloween costume.
Don't overthink it. It's simple and cliché, which means at a party, you can easily play it off as cool and ironic.
Guy Who Passed Out Too Early
Stand in front of a mirror and go crazy on yourself with a Sharpie. Glue a few empty beer cans to your shirt for added effect. This may be one of the few times you voluntarily take a marker to your face. Have fun with it.
Forgetful Superman
Don a button-down shirt, tie, a pair of slacks and some thick-rimmed glasses. Give yourself a Clark Kent curl if you really want to go the full mile. Leave your shirt unbuttoned as though you've recently ripped it open while running to stop a robbery, but have a plain white shirt underneath instead of a Superman outfit. Oops.
Glue a piece of bread to your chest and another to your back. Throw some tomato and lettuce in there for good measure. Avoid dogs.
The Jim Halpert Special
Each year on The Office, Jim Halpert comes up with a lazy but clever costume just minutes before he needs it. Prime examples: Three hole punch Jim and Facebook. Try one of those. You'll get compliments from Office fans, and you'll look as nonchalant as Mr. Halpert himself.

Marshall Auerback — Euro Bond Holders, Beware!
Marshall provides an insightful analysis of the EZ situation. reinforcing what Warren Mosler has also put forth recently at The Center of the Universe.

Euro Bond Holders, Beware!
by Marshall Auerback
(Kevin Fathi via email)

- Ralph Musgrave said...
That's a useless article by Auerback. His basic claim is that the ECB can bring austerity to an end by buying periphery bonds. Well of course!!! But that doesn't address the central problem which is the lack of competitiveness of the periphery vis a vis the core.
The purpose of austerity in any common currency system is to cut costs in non-competitive countries. That's a very defective system. But that's the drawback of a common currency system that does not involve full political union and the assistance for uncompetitive areas that comes with political union.
Having the ECB buy periphery bonds just slows down the very painful path to competitiveness. - May 13, 2012 at 4:00 PM
- Tom Hickey said...
Ralph, this is one of the reasons that the MMT economists dissed the common currency zone from the get-go. Too much asymmetry for it to work. What happened was bound to happen, as anyone who actually looked could see.
What I hear Marshall saying is that the members of the EZ still don't want to recognize this and are committed to making the unworkable work. Haircuts for bondholders in one country will be counterproductive in this endeavor, since it will spread, resulting in capital flight, hastening the end. - May 13, 2012 at 4:47 PM

The Grim Future of Our Pension Plans
10 comments:
I understand the federal employees' pension is severely underfunded.
Being a level 1 obligation - an explicit liability - it is listed as a $5 trillion liability on the balance sheet.
In addition, the FASAB, the accounting advisor for the federal government, recently came up with Federal Accounting Standard 43, which states that federal pensions are no longer to be considered dedicated collections - money collected from primnarily an external source, specifically targeted to beneficiaries.
Instead, it is merely a plan between an employer and its employees.

Paying into the company's (UK) defined contribution scheme is the only thing I can sight to prove I'm not a complete doomer.
ReplyDelete If you retired from GM after October 1, 1997, you know that your pension option decision time is coming to a close. On June 1, General Motors announced their plan to lessen their pension liability by approximately 26 billion dollars. This leaves you with the power to choose between a one-time lump-sum payment, continuing with your current monthly payment, or taking a new form of monthly benefit. You need to decide which option you'll go with by July 20, 2012. Before you do, it's important to understand the complexity of each and every option so that you can choose which is best for you. You can watch this informative video which outlines the three available options by following this link: http://youtu.be/32ZRne7AoTQ. Additionally, it's highly encouraged that you seek the advice of a seasoned financial planner.
ReplyDeleteThe estimate will include a review of your personnel file to make sure there.

Brock Anundson '05, a sport and recreation management graduate, has been working at the U.S. Olympic Complex in Colorado Springs since January 2011.
Anundson is a programs coordinator/operations specialist, setting up everything that's needed for athletes to train at the complex, from lodging and meals to training schedules.
More about Anundson and his work at the U.S. Olympic Complex will be featured in the upcoming issue of the Torch alumni magazine.

Employers improving Quality of Lifegreenspun.com : LUSENET : What keeps you up at night? : One Thread |
I am working with a management consulting company that is interested in imrpoving the quality of life for its consultants and ultimately impacting turover and improving recruitment. They realize that their turover stems not from pay, training, or advancement opportunities, but basically from serious work/life balance issues and quality of work life. Typically, when a consultant is hired in his/her 20's they are accepting and even enthusiastic about constant travel, working at a client site with no office of your own, etc. It seems that once they reach their 30's and 40's the job hasn't changed but the workers priorities have and they are no longer comfortable with this lifestyle. This company does a good job of offering conceirge services that help but is now interested in doing more. I'm looking for stories of what other companies are doing out there to impact quality of life and promote a more positive work environment. All comments would be appreciated.

-- Mark Zorro (email@example.com), December 07, 2000.
Sarah, Having been part of the environment you are speaking of, I can only offer a perspective. After spending 14 years on the road nearly every week, my priorities began to change last year and I wanted a saner lifestyle. The concierge services offered by my firm were the best; however, the only solution to a saner lifestyle for me was to travel less. My belief is that the solution lies in trying to get your consultants off of the road and in their own homes at night. The first firm that can figure out how to make this happen is going to be very successful, with low turnover and potential employees screaming to get in.This year I made the jump to a saner lifestyle company. We utilize a regional staffing model. This puts our consultants closer to home; the travel distance is decreased, although the amount of travel is not always less.
We also have solution centers spread across the country where we can implement client solutions without having to be on site daily (a lot of firms use solution centers). While a lot of technical development can be handled in these centers, our client facing employees must still be on-site.
Best of luck to you - this is a wide-spread and important issue for management consulting firms. I would tell you to focus at the root of the issue (getting people off the road) rather than the short term solutions that won't fix the problem.

Soooooo lovely! Apricot and honeysuckle aromas give this wine a lovely, natural fruit fleshiness and sweetness, but this wine is never cloying as it's beautifully balanced with mouth-watering acidity for a wide range of dishes. Luscious and seductive with a medium body and long finish. Highly recommended. Riesling food pairings: chicken, lobster, risotto, sushi, grilled lake fish, pork kebabs.This Riesling was reviewed January 4, 2013 by Natalie MacLean
Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.

Date: Friday 22 Jun 2012
China Private Equity's (CPE) bottom line was hit in 2011 by a fall in the value of its stake of one of its new investments.
CPE, the China-focused investment trust, reported that consolidated net assets increased from $29.3m to $33.4m during the year.
However, there was a consolidated loss for the 12 months to December 31st 2011 of $2.89m, compared with a profit of $1.89m the year before. This was mainly due to what it says will prove to be a "short-term" decrease in the fair value of its stake in Enfinium Holdings of $1.7m.
The company explains: "Enfinium's business has been growing rapidly over the past year, resulting in its need to raise working capital to sustain its rate of growth. The timing of Enfinium's cash raise, at a small discount to our entry price due to current market conditions, precluded us from taking part as we were not comfortable with raising money to invest at the current CPEH share price. This decision resulted in the dilution of CPEH's holding in the company from 30% to 24% during the year.
Despite the loss reported, Chief Executive Officer John Croft remains optimistic: "Opportunities in China for new investments in our areas of focus are reducing in price but increasing in availability. We would like to take advantage of these trends to increase our scale and presence," said
"China remains one of the most attractive investment markets in the world and our focus on fast growing sectors within it should prove rewarding," he said.
Ferrex said it made 'significant' operational progress in the first six months of its financial year as it continues to build its position as a low-capex iron ore and manganese exploration and development company in Africa.
The pre-tax loss in the half year ended March 31st 2012 widened to £762,000 from £245,000 in the same period the year before.
However it was slightly better than the £880,000 loss reported in the second half of the previous financial year (ended September 30th 2011)
The company is yet to recognise any revenues.
At one of its sites in South Africa, the Malelane iron ore project, maiden resources show the potential to yield three million tonnes per annum of iron ore with a mine life of 16.6 years, Ferrex said.
The company said it was reviewing acquistion opportunities for further iron ore and manganese deposits primarily in west Africa.
"I am delighted to report on the significant operational progress Ferrex has made during the period as it continues to build the company as a leading low-capex iron ore and manganese exploration and development company in Africa," said Chairman Brian Moritz.

Question: From Ohio, USA:
My 10 year old daughter has been type 1 for about one-and-one-half years. Last year, I was tested for the DPT trial and tested positive for Islet Cell Antibodies. Six months ago, I had the IVGTT and was told that it was fine. From time to time, I check my blood sugar with my daughter's meter. Lately, my readings have been in the 140 ml/dl [7.8 mmol/l] range about two hours after eating. Previous readings have always been normal. Could this be the beginning of type 1 for me?
You have to accept that, with a first degree relative with autoimmune diabetes, you have about a 5% chance of developing insulin dependence. Clearly, the presence of islet cell antibodies means that the immunological process has begun. At the same time, I assume that you have no anti-GAD (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase) or anti-insulin antibodies and the insulin response in the IVGTT must have been normal. All of these indicate that the path to actual clinical diabetes is going to be a long one, even an indefinite one, although you will always be a candidate for LADA (Late Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults). Incidentally, you should ask your doctor whether the positive ICA test was based on the old fluorescence technic or on the much more reliable and newer ICA512 immunoassay.
The random blood glucose levels after an unspecified meal are still within normal limits and the rise could, in fact, be due to anxiety over a possible higher figure. The only way you could predict insulin dependence more accurately would be to carry out detailed HLA typing and, of course, with serial repetitions of the antibody and IVGTT tests.

Stan Veuger is a research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
The National Park Service currently offers seniors over the age of 61 the opportunity to purchase lifetime passes for $10. That is $10 for perennial access to 410 national parks as well hundreds and hundreds of recreation sites managed by the Forest Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Reclamation.
To put this into perspective, a one-time ticket to the Grand Canyon, just one of the National Parks, costs everyone else $25.
This policy illustrates a number of frustrating features of federal government policymaking. First of all, it caters to a specific special-interest group that is chosen to receive benefits no one else receives, in this case the elderly.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
Second, much like programs such as Social Security and Medicare, which provide benefits to senior citizens that far exceed the contributions they made to them, it redistributes funds from poor to old under the assumption that Ponzi schemes never fall apart. Third, it is an example of utterly unnecessary spending (or, more precisely, foregoing of revenue) at a time when many agencies, including the National Park Service, are being forced to tighten their belts thanks, in particular, to the automatic budget cuts put in place under sequestration.
Fortunately Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, is on the case. During a House Oversight hearing she told National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarves the following: "$10? At age 65? I think we need to look at that. There's a lot of people who can pay more than $10 for the rest of their lives."
Indeed. It may be peanuts in the grand scheme of things, but if even these kinds of reform are out of reach, all hope is lost for more comprehensive fiscal fixes.

The final rubber stamp of approval to Audi AG's acquisition of Ducati Motor Holding, the European Commission has cleared the transaction of any antitrust red tape. A deal that was over a year in the making, the German automaker bought the Italian motorcycle company for a cool €860 million, including debt. Positioning Audi, and its parent-company Volkswagen, to take-on the likes of the BMW Group, the deal was met with mixed-emotions in the automotive and motorcycling communities during its announcement.
Several publications are reporting the possibility that the European Commission (EC) could be preparing to implement a European-wide limit of 100HP on motorcycles when the European executive power meets this summer. The issue arises after France instituted a 100HP ban on new motorcycles, causing the country to be out of line with the rest of European Union. France's new law places an undue burden on manufacturers, who must now make a French variant for each new EU motorcycle model (or just not offer the bike in the French market all-together), and as such the EC aims to bring the EU under one policy.
This has created cause for alarm in the industry (or just in sensationalist journalists) who fear that the EC could place 100HP limits across the entire EU, along with other hindering provisions as well (mandatory ABS brakes seems to be the other main concern), in order to bring balance to the Union's approach on motorcycles. If that sounds ridiculous to you, then you're in the same boast as us. Considering how the EC and EU directives, regulations, and decisions actually operate, the real likelihood seems to be the possibility of France's law being repealed, but that doesn't mean activists have any less cause for alarm.
Editor's Note: The following is a guest post by Harry Mallin that was originally published on the eMotoRules blog. Mr. Mallin is a lawyer by day, and in the motorcycle world is better known for his work as Brammofan, the Brammo Motorcycle enthusiast blog, and as the TTXGP Technical Rules Wiki moderator. In his post Mallin explores concerns about the FIM's alleged anti-competitive behavior, and postulates about how the FIM may find itself brought up under antitrust charges in the European Union.
The sport of motorcycle racing has a rich history that winds its way through 20thcentury United Kingdom like the narrow roads on the Isle of Man. Recently, this history has included a new avenue of opportunity: electric motorcycle racing. But controversy, no stranger to motorsports, has already touched this new sport, and recent events indicate that a shockwave of change may be in store for the sanctioning bodies that currently organize the upcoming racing series.
According to an email recently published on, of all places, the personal blog of Ivar Kvadsheim, a Norwegian journalist who writes primarily on the subject of electric motorcycle racing, a UK government agency is likely to bring charges of anti-competitive behavior and monopoly practices against the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (International Motorcycling Federation, or the FIM).

James Hetfield Plays 'Enter Sandman' With Kids After Receiving Award
A ceremony honoring James Hetfield's work with children in the Bay Area included a free-form jam that found the Metallica frontman onstage with some very lucky kids.
A ceremony honoring James Hetfield's work with children in the Bay Area included a free-form jam that found the Metallica frontman onstage with some very lucky kids.
Almost as interesting as the artists Sammy Hagar is collaborating with on his upcoming 'Sammy Hagar and Friends' album is the list of artists he couldn't find time to record with. One, Metallica's James Hetfield, turned down Hagar's invitation, but the Red Rocker says he understands why.
Imposing frontman and all-around rambunctious human being James Hetfield has made quite a mark in the music world as the rhythm guitarist, songwriter and lead singer for Metallica.
His 49th birthday falls on Aug. 3, and things seem to still be blazing for James, Metal
Greetings from Maui! Check out this Hawaiian rock n' roll postcard in the making, with Sammy Hagar and James Hetfield hanging poolside with a dreamy landscape of palm trees and ocean in the background.
For years Metallica has been amongst the toughest acts in hard rock, and now they've built a pair of sunglasses to rock hard in. James Hetfield has partnered with Sutro Eyeware to create the JH Sutro sunglasses, available in black or tortoise. The band's merchandise page calls them Hetfield's "ideal pair of sunglasses."
It turns out that Metallica's James Hetfield isn't just the "master of puppets," he's also got a pretty solid hold over garden gnomes as well … at least most of them.
The four members of Metallica realize a world of fans and haters will be watching closely when they release their next studio album. In a way they're going back to basics, letting old music influence their new music. For his part, singer James Hetfield says that despite rehab and an artistic venture with Lou Reed, there is still plenty for him to be ticked off about.
Let he who is without rock cast the first stone! Metallica's James Hetfield recently took aim, figuratively and literally, at a member of the paparazzi. While on a nice little relaxing vacation over Christmas with his family in Punta del Este, Uruguay, Hetfeild was followed by photographers, which did not sit well the the Metallica frontman.
James Hetfield certainly knows how to put on a fierce face when he's rocking out onstage with Metallica. See how intense and ferocious he looks? The Cowardly Lion from 'The Wizard of Oz,' on the other hand, only can barely manage a meek, half-hearted growl.
And yet, from the right angle, these two radically different icons are total look-a-likes!

Supple Pipe Records 2012 SP3009
What do you do if you come from somewhere which is neither here nor there, big nor small, important nor unimportant, neither loud nor quiet? What do you do if you come from Franklin, Mass, or Fareham, Hants? Apart from move to the city, diving into the opportunities, swimming or drowning in culture? And then what do you do if you are possessed by the muse of music and your birthplace gives you nothing to go on? If the platform of experience has to be less….existentialist if you like, or Freudian, or expressive of roots? Well then you call on experience, your skills, your present enthusiasm, your talent: and this is where multi-instrumentalist, crack guitarist, arranger, and weaver of intoxicant sounds Christopher Cordoba finds himself right now, calling on the elements of life and the great landscapes of the imagination to make "The Static and The Swerve", his second solo instrumental LP.
This new record is a search for new places, interpreting experience with an imagination of sound. Place doesn't matter. Emotions matter. And this record is full of warm, elegiac, sorrowful, uplifting and wonderfully wise music. It's a positive, confident and genre-bending follow up to 2010's Paternity, a debut which dealt with the terrors and joys of first fatherhood with a defiantly limited sound palette – nearly all the songs were created on guitars, even the ones that sounded like pure electronica, Christopher Cordoba investigating how far a guitar can go in the hands of a guitarist who will go as far it takes. But if Paternity was about textures and how far it is possible to push a guitar as an instrument (though he does it here too, on the title track), this second record is more about atmospheres and how the guitar can fit in as an expressive instrument, with more emphasis on clarity, rhythmic change, open sounds and space – plenty of space. And some really great guitar playing in the mode of Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, Richard Thompson, Gabor Szabo – oh you know, the greatest modern guitarists. The guitar can relax, reflect or sometimes rock hard, repositioning itself as the voice of life rather than the body of life. Pianos, drums, keyboards, marimbas, strings also make their mark in this 23 track broad record which sets the guitar free. It's also great fun.
From the kinetic freewheeling introduction of "Why Must You Always Change Everything" to the shimmering, pastoral chamber music of "The Incredible Shrinking Man; from the motoric Wooden Shijps meets Yo La Tengo of "A Country On Wheels" to the glorious melody and colliding marimbas of the Jim O'Rourke-esque "Owl Farm"; from the nightmare calypso of "Ricky Drowned" to the classic Cordoba climax of "Leipzig: and from the dizzy Reich remix of "Crystal Chiming" to the mutant jazz, switchback delays and electronic bubbles, like a lost soul wading through the streets, of "Panic on Clark Street", this record has an incredible scope and force and cohesion. Christopher Cordoba also has a great way with titles, all of which suggest he has transcended place and origin and discovered beauty.
Christopher Cordoba "Paternity" LP (SP3006) released: 2011
Fans of The Durutti Column, Bill Frisell, Brian Eno's ambient work and connoisseurs of the Warp, Wyndham Hill and Leaf record labels will appreciate this diverse and yet very centred first collection from Cordoba.
An expectant father, realising that his world will never be the same again, awakes in the middle of the night to the sound of an unborn child crying.
Listen to: Tanzi Shuffle
Armed with no more than a Telecaster and an E-bow he attempts to recreate the sounds he heard that night in the small box room he has been allocated in the new cottage he and his wife have just moved into. As the week counts down to the birth, the music that emerges is "Paternity", an album created from the impending doom/joy of fatherhood.
Listen to: The Ghost of the Roman Soldier
But while the record may deal with the deeply personal emotions surrounding the impending birth of a first child, it is resolutely unsentimental, even in its sweeter moments. There are elements of doom, remorse and doubt, but many of the 15 tracks resolve in a positive turn towards the future. In places glacial, in places industrial, in others quiet, pensive and reflective, this is a concise, eclectic and rewarding album of melody and skill.
"Paternity" has an atmosphere of contemplative winter clarity, yet it is also witty and engaging, using a deliberately limited range of sounds to draw a sketch of the mixed emotions which must accompany such a life-changing event as parenthood. Once the child arrives and time is no longer your own, how will the music survive? And where does it come from in the first place? The miracle of birth is not the only miracle. There is also the miracle of the creative process, and Cordoba is searching for the source of inspiration, as mysterious as that is. You can hear the urgency, the sheer need to record these scintillating pieces before constant supervision of a child replaced constant guitar-playing.
The guitar work is very much in Cordoba's own unique style. It is not bluesy or folky, not even really jazzy, transcending all genres in the way of Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp. Yet it is also highly contemporary, and has a spirit common to the work of, say, Tom James Scott or James Blackshaw.
This is music which is sure of itself and its own direction, but also asks questions: What is beauty? What is yet to come? What will the world be like in our children's time?

The alleged leaking of a CIA operative's name had its roots in a clash over Iraq policy between White House insiders and their rivals in the permanent bureaucracy of Washington, especially in the State Department and the CIA.
As the investigation into the leak reaches its expected climax this week with the expiration of the grand jury's term, the internal disputes have been further amplified by a recent string of speeches and interviews criticizing the administration's handling of Iraq, including by former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and State Department diplomats, and other officials involved in the early efforts to stabilize Iraq.
