You may be interested in looking at the Marintraffic live satalite map of the Turkey/Syria border. Based on Google maps, but more detail and less blurring, I think.

Just saw that the Kurds took Ras al Ayn, and the US forces are holding Kobani, but don't see much signs of fighting or shelling. Ruptly hade a livestream up yesterday of Ras al Ayn too.

I wonder where Yael Rosenberg is now, if I remember her name right. Is she back there?
