K-1 Rising 2012 in Madrid Official Trailer
- Written by Rian Scalia
There's been a bunch of trailers floating around for K-1 lately and all of them have been touted as official by a lot of people. They were all taken down shortly after though. Now K-1 finally released a trailer themselves, via their Twitter today. They also have a new Youtube channel, K1TVsince2012, which might mean that they actually don't have the original K-1 Youtube account that has been uploading old fight videos lately. They don't have the original K-1 Facebook page so it seems likely. Anyway, check out the new and official trailer for the event on May 27.

Harpur Forum explores science & mathematics teacher education for the 21st century
Thomas O'Brien, associate professor of education in the School of Education and Human Development at Binghamton University, will discuss "Science & Mathematics Teacher Education for the 21st Century: Problems & Possibilities" at the Harpur Forum's annual faculty spotlight luncheon, Wednesday, January 11, in the Mandela Room on the University campus. Lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. and the program will begin at noon.
O'Brien directs the Center of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (CSMTE) at Binghamton University. The mission of the CSMTE is to provide innovative approaches to preparing teachers of science, mathematics and technology in grades 6-12 with special focus on girls, students of color and students who face economic disadvantage.
Another part of the CSMTE mission is to conduct research on the effects of technology in teaching and learning. "The ever-increasing interconnectivity of electronic databases via the World Wide Web coupled with the enhanced speed and memory capabilities of personal computers has made it possible for science teachers and their students to readily access a universe of scientific and instructional resources that is truly mind-boggling," O'Brien said.
In addition, O'Brien has operated workshops nationwide on the teaching of science at all grade levels and has served as an office of the New York State Science Education Association. He has worked with numerous summer teacher institutes, is recognized in virtually every school district across New York State and is known as "Mr. Science Educator" to many local teachers.
The Harpur Forum serves business, professional and community leaders by bringing nationally known authorities to speak at Forum functions throughout the year.

State police's presence at Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun will soon be limited to background checks and investigations, with the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal departments handling all day-to-day law enforcement duties, state and tribal officials say.
Details of the shift in responsibility - driven largely by the tribes' desire to save money - will be spelled out in separate agreements each of the tribes has negotiated with the commissioner of the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
"We're acting as if it's already in effect," Chuck Bunnell, the Mohegans' chief of staff, said Tuesday of the "memorandum of understanding" his tribe expects to sign with the state. "At this point, it's a formality."
The Mashantuckets are ready to make a similar transition.
"At present, the tribe is awaiting final approval from the state," Bill Satti, the tribe's director of public affairs, said in a statement. "The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police Department is poised to take over policing duties at the casino with fully staffed and trained peace officers."
State and tribal police have shared jurisdiction on the tribes' reservations, including the casinos, since the 1990s.
Both the Mohegan Tribe and the state are comfortable with the "significant presence" the Mohegan tribal police have been maintaining at Mohegan Sun, Bunnell said. And while state police may keep an office in the casino and deploy officers there from time to time, the Mohegans are no longer under any obligation to pay for them, he said.
The tribes, however, will have to pay state police for the background checks and investigations they conduct.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's revised budget proposal for the 2015 fiscal year, which begins July 1, contains no reimbursements from the tribes for state police coverage. As recently as the 2011 fiscal year, such payments totaled $7.3 million - $3.9 million from the Mashantuckets and $3.4 million from the Mohegans.
The two tribes' combined payments dropped to $4.7 million in fiscal 2012 and to $4.2 million in fiscal 2013.
Late last year, after the General Assembly authorized the transition of law enforcement duties at the casinos by passing Public Act 13-170, the state negotiated tribal payments in fiscal 2014 totaling $1.2 million - $600,000 from each tribe.
The DESPP is expected to redeploy the 27 troopers and two administrative personnel now assigned to the State Police Casino Unit.
Once the state-tribe agreements are in place, tribal police will be able to arrest non-Indians on tribal lands, including the casinos, and deliver them to state authorities for prosecution. Currently, tribal police can only "detain" non-Indians for arrest by state police.
Under the agreements, state authorities also will accept tribal police reports as official records of arrest. In turn, the tribal police departments will abide by "certain standards," Bunnell said, including state freedom-of-information requirements regarding media access to arrest logs.
Both tribal departments are staffed for the most part by former state and municipal police officers, and virtually all of them have been certified by the state Police Officer Standards and Training Council.
"We have expended a great deal of money to increase tribal policing, so it's not like we're saving $3 or $4 million dollars," Bunnell said. "But our savings will be significant. … Both the state and the tribe are finding efficiencies."

Drake, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are among Forbe "s "30 Under 30."
Forbes " "30 Under 30," which it refers to as "a tally of the brightest stars in 15 different fields under the age of 30," features several rappers in its music category.
Forbes says those mentioned are "founders and funders, brand builders and do-gooders" who are "reinventing the world." Forbes names J. Cole, Drake and Kendrick Lamar, among others.
J. Cole, who is 28, is named in the list for being a Hip Hop "force."
"Jay Z "s first signing at Roc Nation is now a Hip Hop force in his own right," Forbes says. "Sophomore album Born Sinner debuted at #2 on the charts with sales of 297,000, nearly matching Kanye West "s Yeezus. Now grossing six figures per night on his world tour, Cole is here to stay."
Drake, who is 27, is also mentioned in the feature.
"The former Degrassi star has pulled in over $30 million in the past two years, boosted by live shows and endorsements with the likes of Sprite and Kodak," Forbes says. "Look for him to build on that with his latest arena tour in support of new album Nothing Was The Same."
Kendrick Lamar, who is younger than Drake and J. Cole at 26, is also part of this list.
"Dr. Dre's latest protégé earned $9 million last year after releasing smash hit good kid, m.A.A.d city and playing over 100 live shows," Forbes says. "Better yet: he earned seven Grammy nominations, more than any other artist besides Jay Z."
Ryan Lewis, 25, was also named in the article, mainly for his work with Macklemore and their The Heist album. Wiz Khalifa, 26, was also mentioned in the feature. Khalifa has made the Forbes list for the third consecutive year, according to the publication, thanks to sales of music, merchandise and concert tickets.

RE:Anadromous Fishway Restoration Project Needs Voluteers
Steve -
Thanks for bringing this important event to our attention! As you know I am very compelled to participate in anadromous restoration projects and regret that I will be in Washington State those days. Actually, I don't regret that I will be out there - only that I can not participate in this effort. I hope others take the time to contribute to this cause. I would very much like to publish photos and details on this effort and hope I can do my part in raising awareness of the program.
Please inform me of any (every) such project that you know of and I'll happily roll up my sleeves for such a cause whenever I can.

Anadromous Fishway Restoration Project Needs Voluteers
Project Coordinators:

Doug Smithwood
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
(603) 528-8750
An opportunity exists next week (April 3, 4, & 5) to accomplish an important milestone in the effort to restore the original annual migrations of anadromous fish (alwives, blueback herring, and shad) to the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Rivers and their tributaries. Your assistance is needed to make this happen.
The towns of Middleboro and Lakeville expect an excess of herring to return to their fishways this year. As a consequence, the Middleboro-Lakeville Herring Fisheries Commission is offering Herring for this project. The U.S
Fish & Wildlife Service will provide a tank truck capable of transporting 2,000 fish per trip from Middleboro to the stocking locations along the Concord, Sudbury, and Assabet Rivers. They will also provide some personnel.
Volunteers, however, are needed for such tasks as forming netting brigades and ferrying fish between the trucks and the river.
A "Herring transfer team" is needed to load the herring onto the tank trucks at the Oliver Mills on the Newmasket River, a tributary of the Taunton River.
If you and a few friends, or your children, can help, please contact Mike Meixsell or Doug Smithwood at the above telephone numbers.
A few hours of your time could go a long way toward the restoration of this fishery.

When I started collecting the Titanium line, I told myself that I was going to wait until the line was finished before I started thinking about getting a display cabinet to put them in because I wanted to make sure it was going to be large enough to display them all, and that time has been long overdue.
I'm looking into having a wall mounted cabinet made but I need to know how deep the shelf would need to be as well as the height needed in between shelves.
All of my Titaniums are still in their original packaging so I'm asking if someone can tell me what the overall height and depth dimensions are of the largest Titanium when it is mounted on its display stand.
This would be for the normal line of Titaniums, sometimes referred to as the 3" line.

The design industry is marked by fast-paced manufacturing, material innovation and radical
aesthetic shifts—the constant search for "what's new" and "what's next."
While it may be seductive to envision the process behind these dynamic shifts to be as radical as its results, it is often the small but well-considered tweaks that shift and shape the industry.
Take Sandy Chilewich, a career change-maker with a resume spanning fashion, fine art, home décor, hospitality design and contract flooring. She has a consistently sharp eye for innovation opportunities hidden in plain sight.
"My passion as a designer," says Chilewich, now creative director of her namesake brand, Chilewich | Sultan, "is about looking at a manufacturing process and what it's making and realizing, 'God, this could be so much more interesting if they could just change it a little bit.'"
Her Midtown headquarters are a tactile designer's dream—an organized chaos of fabric swatches, material samples and idea books, all peeking out of cubbies and begging to be examined.
Sandy treats the dining table like a sit-in closet and designs tabletop lines as though they are fashion seasons going down the runway—to be collected and recombined over time. And now, as the company's product line expands through upholstery, window coverings, wall coverings and flooring, new pairings can pop up just about anywhere.
"I'm just dreaming about the idea of this layering on top of each other," Chilewich says. "It's no easy feat, to take something that was designed as an upholstery and then try to have it work as a floorcovering. It's been unbelievably hard, but satisfying."
Prior to Chilewich | Sultan, her efforts were focused on more consumer-facing products. In 1978, she co-founded HUE, where she and her partner, "two young women in a 1970s loft in SoHo, making a billion mistakes and growing like crazy," produced the first natural fiber stretch tights in an unprecedented range of colors. They had single-handedly changed hosiery from a commodity into a fashion statement.

Maeder fund to promote innovation in energy and environment research
Posted July 1, 2008; 02:00 a.m.
As a venture capitalist, Paul Maeder recognizes that investing in new ideas can enable tremendous progress in the business arena. Now he's seeking to spur similar transformations in academia -- he and his wife, venture capitalist Gwill York, have given $1 million to establish the Paul A. Maeder '75 Fund for Innovation in Energy and the Environment at Princeton.
The endowment will be used at the discretion of the dean of engineering to provide seed funding to faculty members engaging in risk-taking research that would not typically be supported by government grants and the conventional peer review process.
"The peer review process, although necessary, is not a recipe for dramatic innovation," Maeder said. "This gift is not formulaic; it's not part of the whole standard grant-making process. It appeals to me that the dean can identify interesting areas and decide what to fund and what to invest in. As a venture capitalist, I believe in small organizations, individual responsibility and individual initiative."
Scientists and engineers must find innovative ways to satisfy the world's energy needs while protecting the environment, said H. Vincent Poor, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. "I am deeply grateful for this gift -- for the good it will do and the vote of confidence it represents. Paul and Gwill care about research and its potential to improve lives. They know what it takes to help good ideas flourish."
Maeder's interest in energy was piqued during his years as a Princeton undergraduate by mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Robert Socolow, a renowned energy expert who was teaching a class on complex variables at the time.
"As much as he talked about complex variables, he could never stop talking about energy issues," Maeder recalled. "He absolutely transformed my thinking, and I haven't forgotten it for the last 30 years. Now being about to come full circle and contribute in some way to this enterprise was amazing."
Not afraid of unconventional paths, Maeder's first move after earning his Princeton degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering in 1975 was to board a sailboat for a year to cruise the waters off South America. Upon his return, he plunked down $400 for an old Volkswagen and drove across the country to earn his master's degree in mechanical engineering at Stanford.
After working as an engineer for two start-ups, he was itching to know more about the business enterprise and headed to Harvard Business School. Just three years after receiving his MBA, Maeder co-founded Highland Capital Partners, where he is a general partner. While he has focused mainly on software, Maeder is increasingly devoting his attention to energy solutions and "clean technology."
A member of the mechanical and aerospace engineering department's advisory committee, he has no doubt that solutions to the energy problem will develop at Princeton.
"Having a great engineering school within the best liberal arts university means we can work on the technological side of the energy issue and explore the public policy side and other viewpoints," he said. "Innovation with the greatest impact often occurs at the intersection of multiple fields. Princeton brings to the table a unique ability to provide these multidisciplinary solutions."

Taken from 'Vite dei Pittori, Scultori ed Architetti Moderni. Descritte da Gio' by Pietro Bellori (1613-1696), 1728. Sir Denis Mahon Library and Archive, NGI
Named after the small town of Caravaggio, near Milan, Michelangelo Merisi is regarded today as the world's leading exponent of chiaroscuro. Receiving his art apprenticeship in nearby Bergamo, he then moved to Rome and worked in the studio of Cavaliere d'Arpino. Religious art commissions followed under the patronage of Cardinals, notably his spectacular Martyrdom of St. Peter and the Conversion of St. Paul for the church of Santa Maria del Popolo in 1601. Caravaggio gained notoriety in 1604 when after a tennis match he stabbed his opponent. Wanted by the authorities, Caravaggio fled first to Naples, and then Malta in 1607. His career on the island came to an abrupt end after he assaulted a Judiciary, where after he was imprisoned, escaped and then fled to Sicily in 1608. He died at Porto d'Ercole two years later.

From piling on wrinkle creams to dying those nagging grays, it seems Americans are obsessed with preserving youth, but what about age-proofing your brain? New science reveals a smarter way to keep the brain young; fish oil. According to a new study published in the journalNeurology, diets lacking in omega-3, the essential fat found in fish oil, could lead to memory loss and dementia and cause the brain to age faster.
Click on the following link to watch a video on the topic: http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/46548774/#46548774
In addition to supporting brain health and cognitive function, the main omega 3 fats found in fish, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), have also been shown to support a healthy mood, normal inflammatory response in the body, immune health, eye health and heart health.
Wondering how much to supplement? As Dr. Snyderman points out in the video above, current national guidelines suggest at least 2 servings of fatty fish per week or a minimum of 500 mg combined EPA/DHA per day. However, some people, like those with heart disease or other health issues, may need to take up to double that dose.
If you're thinking it might be tough to fit fatty fish into your weekly meal plan, you're not alone. Whether it's personal taste, limited availability or the increasing concern about the high levels of mercury in fish, many people are much happier getting the benefits of omega 3 fats in one convenient softgel rather than head to the fish counter at the grocery store. Just be sure that you choose a high quality fish oil that offers high concentrations of EPA and DHA, and has been purified to remove contaminants and is third-party tested for freshness.

Grant to enhance Binghamton University's Korean studies program
The Korean studies program at Binghamton University will get a boost thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Korea Foundation, heralding significant programmatic development and additional staff.
The Korea Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization established in 1991 to promote international exchanges, mutual understanding and friendship between the people of Korea and other countries.
"We are so pleased and honored that the Korea Foundation has chosen to support BU's Korean studies program," said Sungdai Cho, associate professor of Korean and linguistics. "Korean studies are generally neglected in the United States but this grant will allow BU to be proactive in meeting this need."
The grant, directed by Cho, will be used to add a faculty member in Korean literature as well as to create a center for Korean Studies. The center will serve as a clearinghouse for Korean studies among SUNY colleges and universities as well as other institutions across the United States.
According to Cho, the grant marks a significant turning point for Korean studies in that it strengthens the link between BU and the Korean Government. "It is extremely important and gratifying to know that the Korean Government recognizes and supports BU's reputation," said Cho. "Binghamton University holds a strong commitment to globalization and this grant will allow us to develop a flourishing center for Asian and Asian American studies, with Korean studies as a cornerstone."
The grant will build upon the current interest in Korean studies by enhancing linguistic and cultural learning opportunities and activities. Cho hopes to achieve this through the establishment of a Korean major and by launching exchange programs with universities in Korea, as well as by establishing student scholarships. Cho also hopes to form liaisons with BU Korean alumni and host conferences, a speaker series and cultural events.
Provost Mary Ann Swain said the grant reaffirms the University's strong commitment to Korean studies. "This grant from the Korea Foundation enables Binghamton University to continue to offer Korean language instruction and area studies about the culture of Korea and Korea's relationship to other parts of the world," said Swain. "By supporting faculty the grant also enriches inquiry and cross-disciplinary conversations about Asia as a region, further strengthening our intellectual contributions in these realms."

- Kleinmond, Proteadorp
- Description
ProteaDorp is a very large informal settlement right next to the village of Kleinmond in the western Cape, about one hour from Cape Town, South Africa. Last week a terrible fire occurred here, where the houses are one-room abodes that rest against one-another. Here is a video interview with Geoff Harris about this disaster: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8b9dZ58o6Q
This is a disaster of a huge scale, because with 150 or more houses burnt into nothingness, the people have literally lost everything. I will attempt to set up a way to help, having just flown back to the US from here.

HAVANA, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- An object fell from the sky over central Cuba on Thursday night and turned into a fireball "bigger than the sun" before it exploded, a Cuban TV channel reported Friday, citing eyewitnesses.
Some residents in the central province of Cienfuegos were quoted as saying that at around 8 p.m. local time Thursday (0100 GMT Friday) they saw a bright spot in the sky comparable to a bus in size.
The object then turned into a fireball "bigger than the sun," said the witnesses, adding that several minutes later they heard a loud explosion.
One resident told the TV station that his house shook slightly in the blast.
Cuban experts have been dispatched to the area to look for possible remains of the meteor-like object, said the report.
It remains unknown whether the reported phenomenon in Cuba is related to Friday's meteor strike in central Russia, which set off a shockwave that shattered windows and left some 1,000 people injured.

When I first saw that she was in the cartoon I knew I had seen her before. I knew she couldn't be, whose name I didn't know at the time, Shaak Ti. Because Shaak Ti couldn't have been Anakin's padawan obviously, because she was a Jedi far before Anakin.
But anyhow I was watching the orginal Clone Wars on DVD last night and the part when Obi-Wan is looking for the planet Kamino in the Jedi Archives and he notices the gravity but no sign of the planet. So he goes to Yoda, who is teaching all the young Jedi how to block laser shots.
So when Yoda tells the children to tell Obi-Wan hello, and they all take off there little helmets to the far left there is a young Jedi the same species as Shaak Ti and Ahoska. And thinking about it, you could consider it to be her.
Because the cartoon takes place towards the end of the Clone Wars, obvoiusly because Anakin has his regular haircut instead of the Padawan braid. And the movie is right at the begining of the Clone Wars and that young, whatever species she is, looks about 10-12, so it's reasonable to say she could have aged a few years, and became Anakin's Padawan. Just a thought.

Spotify Adds More Services as Competition Heats Up
Just as online music service Beats Music is nearing its launch in the U.S., older rival Spotify is busy adding extras to its own offering–including merchandise.
Artists can now sign up to list merchandise for sale on the music-streaming site–things like T-shirts, vinyl and posters, the company said in a blog post Monday. Spotify has teamed up with marketing software provider Topspin to provide the free service, which it hopes will add value for its users as well as additional revenue for the artists, it said. To begin with, users in nine countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Sweden, will be able to access the merchandise, it said.
It's the latest in a string of announcements from the Anglo-Swedish company as it strives to lure more listeners and keep its existing users. With around 26 million active users in 55 markets–of those, some six million paying users–Spotify is one of the world's biggest providers of streamed music. But the market is a crowded one, with some other big, established names–including Pandora and Apple Inc.'s iTunes.
There's also competition from upstarts like Beats Music, owned by Beats Electronics LLC – the luxury headphone company founded by rapper Dr. Dre and music mogul Jimmy Iovine. It's set to launch its service this month, aiming at the U.S. market.

Purdue sneaks by Iowa in OT
Teams survive lackluster start for exciting finish
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue 65, Iowa 62 (OT): Terone Johnson had 17 points and 12 rebounds, both team highs, to lead the host Boilermakers past the Hawkeyes in a game that featured a lackluster first half but exciting finish.
Ronnie Johnson, Terone's brother, scored 15 points to help Purdue (11-9, 4-3 Big Ten) win for the fourth time in five games and improve to 9-3 at home. Donnie Hale came off the bench and scored 12 points, D.J. Byrd added 10 and A.J. Hammons grabbed 10 rebounds for the Boilermakers.
Mike Gesell scored a team-high 18 points, including three 3-pointers, to lead Iowa (13-7, 2-5), which lost for the fifth time in seven games and dropped to 1-4 on the road. Roy Devyn Marble and Aaron White scored 12 points apiece, and Melsahn Basabe came off the bench and had 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Purdue led 19-16 at halftime, the fewest points either team has scored in a first half this season. Iowa shot 15.4 percent from the field in the first half, while Purdue shot 29 percent. The Boilermakers shot 39.1 percent in the game, while the Hawkeyes shot 31.1.
Purdue is 86-71 in the series and has won 11 of the last 12 meetings.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Purdue G Terone Johnson has scored in double figures in 23 of his last 27 games dating to last season. … Hammons, a 7-foot, 280-pound freshman, blocked three shots and has 20 blocks in seven games. … Byrd, who came in with double-figure scoring in four straight games, was scoreless in the first half.

1.3: Development of Hypotheses
What is a hypothesis?
An educated guess? Is that what you learned a hypothesis is? Lots of people have learned that, but it's not exactly right. So what is a hypothesis? There are two hypotheses listed below to address a question about carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Check out what those hypotheses are and what to do with them next.
Asking a New Question
Before we develop some hypotheses, let's find a new question that we want to answer. What we just learned that atmospheric CO2 has been increasing at least since 1958. This leads us to ask this question: Why is atmospheric CO2 increasing?
Possible Answers for the Question
We do some background research to find the possible sources of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We discover two things:
- Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by volcanoes when they erupt.
- Carbon dioxide is released when fossil fuels are burned.
A hypothesis is a reasonable explanation to explain a small range of phenomena. A hypothesis is limited in scope, explaining a single event or a fact. A hypothesis must be testable and falsifiable. We must be able to test it and it must be possible to show that it is wrong.
From these two facts we can create two hypotheses. We will have multiple working hypotheses. We can test each of these hypotheses.
Hypothesis 1
Atmospheric CO2 has increased over the past five decades, because the amount of CO2 gas released by volcanoes has increased.
Hypothesis 2
The increase in atmospheric CO2 is due to the increase in the amount of fossil fuels that are being burned.
Usually, testing a hypothesis requires making observations or performing experiments. In this case, we will look into the scientific literature to see if we can support or refute either or both of these hypotheses.
- A hypothesis is a reasonable explanation to explain a phenomenon.
- A scientific hypothesis must be testable and falsifiable.
- Often, scientists as individuals or as a group test more than one hypothesis at a time to explain a phenomenon. This is called multiple working hypotheses.
Making Connections
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. Review: What is the purpose of the scientific method?
2. What is your task?
3. Create a hypothesis that explains how the machine works.
4. Examine your hypothesis. What questions do you have?
5. Revise your hypothesis and explain how you might test it.
- Why is calling a hypothesis "a reasonable explanation" better than "an educated guess"?
- A hypothesis is shown to be wrong. Is the question the scientists are trying to answer a bad question?
- Why would scientists have multiple working hypotheses rather than just dealing with one hypothesis until it is shown to be right or is thrown out?

Author Sam Quinones and new book
UTSA hosts lecture by writer Sam Quinones
By Lesli Hicks
Special Projects Writer, M.A. '07
(Sept. 17, 2007)--The UTSA Department of Communication will host author and journalist Sam Quiñones, who will discuss his new book, "Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration," at 2 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 19 in Business Building Room 3.03.02 on the UTSA 1604 Campus. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The lecture also will be webcast.
Freelance journalist Sam Quiñones is a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and has contributed stories to the Baltimore Sun, the Houston Chronicle and the San Francisco Chronicle. He also wrote "True Tales from Another Mexico: The Lynch Mob, the Popsicle Kings, Chalino and the Bronx."
Quinones' roots in literature and education are deep. His father was a literature professor and his mother an elementary school teacher in Claremont, Calif., where he was raised. A 1982 graduate of the University of California-Berkeley with bachelor's degrees in economics and American history, Quinones became an itinerate café guitar player in Europe and traveled to Israel to work and live in a kibbutz.
His journalism career began in San Francisco, expanding into an assignment reporting on politics in Costa Mesa. Suburban sprawl took him to the Orange County Register, and in 1988, he began covering crime at the Stockton Record including the rising use of "crack" against a backdrop of gang violence.
Quiñones' last newspaper job before going to Mexico was with the Tacoma News-Tribune, covering Seattle news. He went to Mexico, "so far from God, so close to the United States," in 1994 to learn Spanish. His first writing job there with the general interest magazine Mexico Insight ended with their bankruptcy following the December 1994 peso devaluation.
The writer stayed in Mexico and delved into its rural life, where for a decade he documented the social and economic impact of migration on the country, writing a variety of articles for many major newspapers and books along the way.
The Los Angeles Time Book Review said of Quiñones, "Over the last 15 years, he has filed the best dispatches about Mexican migration and its effects on the United States and Mexico, bar none... His prose is descriptive but terse, devoid of the flowery metaphors that can plague literary journalism."
The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review said, "[Quinones'] new book... singles him out as the most original American writer on the border and Mexico out there. "Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream" is journalism that doesn't reply or expand on the clichéd or stereotyped stories of the exotic border... Genuinely original work, what great fiction and nonfiction aspire to be."
Publishers Weekly said Quiñones' new book is "... a keen look at the migrant economy... [in] nine skillful, moving stories. Quinones layers with the sociological, economic and historical context of 60 years of immigration... [in these] very fine pieces of literary journalism."
"Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream" is available in bookstores or from UNM Press.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
As the highest court in Massachusetts considers whether cell-site data is private in the context of the Fourth Amendment, we filed an amicus brief arguing that when the police want to be able to recreate your every step—figuring out your patterns of movement, where you've been and with whom—they must obtain a search warrant.
This is a guest post by ACLU of Northern California Staff Attorney Linda Lye. You can follow her on Twitter at @linda_lye.
Earlier this week, the Oakland City Council voted to approve the second phase of a $10.9 million surveillance center that would enable the City to engage in widespread warrantless surveillance of Oakland residents who have engaged in no wrongdoing whatsoever. This is a terrible blow to privacy.
A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling this week will make it easier for police to track your movements through your cell phone after the court decided police aren't required to obtain a search warrant to track you.
We've all heard a lot in the last month about the government's flimsy excuse for the NSA's massive collection of telephone and Internet metadata: that this sensitive information is somehow just "business records" that don't require a warrant for government access. That same argument has been used by the government to also justify the warrantless collection of cell site data -- the mobile company's record of which tower your phone connects to -- despite the fact that these records can reveal enormous amounts of information about where you go and with whom.
Thankfully, we're seeing some significant strides to put this dangerous idea to rest.
When it comes to making progress around privacy, it's sometimes best to look at what individual states are doing. Unfortunately, faster legislative changes on the state level can be a double-edged sword. Massachusetts is the latest example: while they are considering a bill implementing strong warrant requirements around electronic communications, they are also looking to unnecessarily expand wiretap laws.

We entrust our most sensitive, private, and personal information to the companies which provide us access to the Internet. Collectively, these companies are privy to the online conversations, behavior, and even the location of almost every Internet user. As this reality increasingly penetrates the Brazilian public consciousness, Brazilian Internet users are justifiably concerned about which companies are willing to take a stand for their privacy and protection of personal data. That is why InternetLab, one of the leading independent research centers on Internet policy in Brazil, has evaluated key Brazilian telecommunications companies' policies to assess their commitment to user privacy when the government comes calling for their users' personal data.
The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is about to vote on seven bills that were introduced as part of a report by the Brazilian Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on Cybercrimes (CPICIBER). Collectively, these bills would be disastrous for privacy and freedom of expression in Brazil. That's why EFF is joining a coalition of Brazilian civil society groups in opposing the bills. As the vote takes place on April 27, it's crucial that we voice our concerns to CPICIBER members now.
Close Comparison Reveals Negotiators Repeating TPP's Mistakes
A secretive trade agreement currently being negotiated behind closed doors could lay down new, inflexible copyright standards across the Asia-Pacific region. If you are thinking of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), think again—we're talking about the lesser-known Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). While RCEP doesn't include the United States, it does include the two biggest Asian giants that the TPP omits—China and India. So while you won't read about it in the mainstream U.S. press, it's a very big deal indeed, and will assume even more importance should the TPP fail to pass Congress.
Fair use is one of the biggest undelivered promises of a report of the Australian Law Reform Commission to the Australian government two years ago, which recommended improvements to Australian copyright law. Instead of delivering a fair use exception, the government slapped users with onerous new enforcement provisions such as SOPA-style web blocking and data retention, along with a now-shelved attempt at a graduated response code for penalizing users suspected of infringement.
The Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico (SCJN) is about to issue its decision on an injunction against a provision of the Federal Telecommunications Act (also known as Ley Telecom) that requires telephone companies and internet service providers to retain data about their users' communications for a period of 24 months.

Alaska Trip....this weekend!
Hi guys! Well the year long wait is FINALLY over again and this weekend I fly out from RDU to SEATAC in Seattle for an overnight tourist visit and meet my Bro-in-law his business partner and friend and after a delicious meal at Ivar's House of Clams on the waterfront and then fly out early Sunday to Ketchikan, Alaska. Then we either floatplane or ferry over to Prince of Wales Island for a fantastic week of fishing for Silver Salmon in the rivers, streams and cricks around the southern half of the island. This is my 6th trip and only my third time up with a fly rod in tow. Most of the time is spent slinging hardware with spinning and casting gear. The first year with a fly rod- an 8 weight with a SA large arbor reel and I had just bought it and learned to "almost" cast with it. Then once in the rivers I had to roll cast almost exclusively because of my casting ineptness or heavy tree and brush cover right up to the banks of the waters we fished. One creek had an open area near the mouth but the wind blew me out and I had to resort to slinging hardware to catch fish and avoid the frustration. The last two trips I only managed to flyfish very sparingly due to various reasons and lack of skill the first year being the main one. The flies used are typical AK fare- anything big and pink or egg patterns and Egg Sucking Leeches being the single most effective fly. After the morning limits were caught and processed into the freezer by the group, I'm able beg the vehicle and go solo with my fly rod back to the rivers to do my own thing even though my skill level was low and time short, not to mention the bite was off after 11AM each day. I did dedicate at least one full day last year to nothing but flyrod and managed to fall into a honeyhole near some boulders and caught a limit of 6 Silvers in the 10 pound range in short order. That was my personal best day of the trip as there is just no comparison between longsticking and featherchucking versus slinging hardware and cranking the fish in. Having used my 5 weight only all year for Bass and panfishing the local waters, I feel much more comfortable with a flyrod and have also pulled out the 8 weight to cast in the front yard every now and then. It is a 9 ft 8 weight with a SA large arbor with Orvis Yellow Wonderline for Stripers and a ten foot tapered leader with a short 10 pound mono tippet. Sometimes a little extra weight is added if the fly isn't heavy enough to sink into the zone. So.......any last minute tips, advice, fly choices or jealous envy comments (lol!) are welcome. What would you more experperienced guys and gals do in my place? :biggrin:
This pic is from 2 years ago same place I'm going this weekend. Same rig.
I am so jealous, that sounds like an amazing trip. How big is that fish you're holding in the picture from a couple years ago?
I have nothing to offer, you're more experienced than I am. Just wanted to say I'm jealous.
So does an 8wt make it easier to cast in wind than, say, a 5wt? And is it the heavier rod or heavier line that makes the difference?
Take lots of pictures.
Lines, rods, reels are matched by weight..
As I learned from reading and shopping and then first hand by swapping my 5 wt reel with the 8 wt reel with appropriately rated line and BOY! what a faux pas! ( all you experts can stop laughing now!) the 5wt rod would not carry the 8 wt line as it bent like a willow twig and the line just flopped everywhere but right. I thought I could "cheat" on this trip and take my 5 wt rod (which I use every week) with the larger reel and not have to swing the slightly heavier 8 wt rod. Nope, it don't work that way. I keep the 5 pound dumbell at work for strength training the 165 pound dumbell who is typing. LOL! The heavier rod can cast in the wind better because of its stiffness but sometimes the wind was blowing constant over 20 mph and gusting. The line would just go out a little ways and puddle a spaghetti mess right in front of me or blow off to the side 30 feet. This fish is right close to 12 pounds but fought like 25. In the air! left 50 yards! In the air! Right 80 yards! Repeated several times until landed. Hoping to use the flyrod much much more next week. The forecast is calling for rain and a whole lot of silver! :biggrin:
Fishhead on PWI
I have to tell you that seeing this post makes me think back on the years that I spent time on the Island in the spring time chasing chrome of a different sort. The stories of thier fall runs of silvers entrigued me but this is my hunting season comming up, and we have to set our priorities. Have a great time fishhead.
Thanks, Jere......I'm gonna guess....
you were chasing steelhead??? There is a small fall/ winter return but most action is in the springtime.
A short story on the Klawock river steelhead....I volunteer at one of the local Hatcheries helping count and separate Salmonids as they pass the weir and ladder into the lake with one of the fisheries biologist, Peter, who is a Tlingit (pronounced Kling-it for those who may not know) and works at the Hatchery. So he, also a flyfisher, tells me of his last December Steelheading trip to the mouth of the river and by standing on a boulder is sight fishing to spot one to cast to. Then he hooks up and chases this big Native beauty for 25 minutes up and down the river and he is in and out of holes, riffles, pools, and splashing like a bear following his fish. Then at last he brings it to hand and has it. ....pause.......WOW! Peter, how big was it?, I ask. He holds out his hands ......waaaayyy far apart and says it measured 42 inches! JEEPERS! I almost fall over backwards, literally, recoiling from the impact of his statement and imagining the length and girth of such a beast! WOW! Incredible!, I say.....Did you get a lot of pictures of it?
I hope you guys are sitting down now....
No......He says.........."I ATE IT!"
Inside......I just go ...."AUUUuuuggghhh!" "ohhhhh noooo" I'm dieing on the inside at hearing that but outside.......we both have a somewhat weird laugh together......
The culture thing of the Natives is Catch and Eat with thanks and respect.......but man .....not even a single photo was killing me. ... a 42 inch steelhead would be a lifetime fish; for me anyway. And perhaps after 25 minutes it would have not survived a release being too taxed,spent and fatigued from the fight. Who knows? :confused:
That's an interesting juxtaposition of the American Indian subsistence culture and the clear, pure sport of fly fishing. Does that make sense, what I just wrote? I understand subsistence for Natives -- even to the degree of taking whales. But it seems to almost conflict with the method he chose in this case.
Anyway, he's entitled, I don't begrudge him. I just thought it was interesting.
Shhhh....You should not mention those fish. The state allows 2kills/year of fish over 36".... I have some pictures of fish up to that 42" mark from those rivers, and the smallest measured 27" during my years of fishing that Island. Have fun. Jere
Hi guys,
This thread hit pretty close to home for me. I have been living/working on Prince Of Wales for the past three summers now and have taken a great interest in the condition of local steelhead populations. During the spring I perform snorkel surveys in many streams that support these fish and seldom do I count a fish over 36". They are there, but few, few, very few and far in between.
The susbsistence harvest of steelhead is a whole new can of worms there. I have mixed feelings about that one, none of which will be discussed here. I am really happy that these fish are coming out of the Klawock river and not some of the other watersheds on the island. Best to keep the wild genes spawning!
All else, that is a pretty sweet Coho you have there. I might be inclined to ask where it was caught however, I think I recognize that skunk cabbage behind you in the photo.
Happy fishing.
OK- you got me, the skunk cabbage is....
the one on the right side of the trail as you leave the POWHA hatchery going behind John's house and heading towards the mouth. My buddies nickname all the holes and this particular spot in actually off the river about 20 feet where the feeder creek feeds the river just below the hole we call the "boat ramp" because of the rock formation that comes up out of the water like a ramp when the river is not real high. The boat ramp is the first area after the rocky point which is just barely below the 300 foot marker. So now you can say "I knew it!". I'm actually sitting / kneeling in the the creek area that you cross to continue on the trail. Haven't targeted steelhead in AK as our trips are always with the Coho return. I worked with John, Sadie, Joyce, and Charley this past trip and got to say hi to Peter the Native fisheries guy who had caught that monster steelhead a while back. he was on his way to count sockeye in feeder creeks up around the lake I think. Nice to hear from an Islander. Bet you see an innummerable quantity of humpies and lures if you got in the river right now.

Shaky head rig making waves in bass world
The rig Jeff Foster used to harvest the fish of a lifetime last week, a shaky head with a Zoom Trick worm, is one that's new to the scene in the past few years, Clay Coleman, of Clay's Bait and Tackle, in Tupelo, said.
"It was originally intended to use for bed fishing bass in a foot of water," Coleman said. "The shaky head rig is a specialized jig head, a round ball of lead on top of a hook. It's called a shaky head because, even with slack line, you can cast it and it'll sit on the bottom and you can shake your rod tip and the head will sit still and the hook will shake."
When fished with a limber worm like the Zoom Trick, it can be used to good effect on bass that won't hit anything else.
"The Trick worm is a brand name used by the Zoom company," Coleman said. "That worm doesn't have a curly tail. Instead it's extra limber and the tail end is bulbous. It actually has more action than a curly-tailed worm when fished this way, and there's really no way to fish a Trick worm wrong. There's a thousand different ways to rig it."
It does call for a very slow, patient retrieve, shaking and stopping, working carefully for bass that, especially at this time of year, are lethargic.
"If you look at when record bass are caught, it's usually during the cold weather months, December, January, February," Coleman said.
The current Mississippi record was caught in December 20 years ago.
"Bass are fed up for winter and lethargic," he said, "but the cold weather will push them into a predictable spot, and Davis Lake is managed perfectly."

This refreshing side salad is perfect with grilled chicken or fish.
Cucumbers may seem like an all-American vegetable, but they are thought to have originated in either India or Thailand.
Large cucumbers often have a lot of seeds, so you may want to remove them before adding cucumbers to the salad. Simply slice the cucumber lengthwise in half, and use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds.

Chewie was my first favorite SW character because I loved furry house pet friends (cats and dogs) since I was a child.
I thought he was awesome since the first time I ever saw him.
I once hurt my grandma's feelings because she spent months knitting me an afghan bed cover for my room and I got mad when I opened the box she packaged it in and threw it down because I wanted the 14" Chewbacca figure.
I have always been ashamed of my behavior on that day and it hurts me to remember it because I quickly learned to love that afghan and still have several things my grandma knitted me.
I was a very small child then though. So I don't think she really ever let it bother her that much and I did get my 14" Chewbacca within that month, but I still think I hurt her and wish I hadn't. But I mean I was less than 10 years old, too.
Still, I've behaved better towards my grandmother since. (She died a few years ago and probably had forgotten the incident some thirty years before that.)
But the way we learn to behave and treat people better as lessons we gain by growing up.
Anyway, back to Chewbacca, I don't want him in E7.
Why? New Jedi Order and what came after it has been fantastically conceived and worked on hard by all sorts of creative people including John Ostrander, James Luceno, the late Aaron Allston and more.
Peter Meyhew (love the guy) can star in the in-between movies Young Han Solo and Young Boba Fett and (Thinner) Jabba the Hutt movies.
Though I'd love to see Harrison Ford play Han against a Wookiee - what if Meyhew even portrayed Lowbacca?
Did you know that Brandon Meyhew (fictional character on Breaking Bad - aka Badger) was named as a homage to Chewbacca?
The actor has a different name from Brandon Meyhew (and it's not Chewbacca).

Spring may not have sprung here entirely, but many of us yard nuts are out there anyway.
Those fleetingly warm days this past weekend just set my yard-work juices to flowing for some much needed garden cleanup.
Of course, since it hadn't rained in days, I got to start tilling up the earth and adding soil amenders to improve my harvest chances.
My little Honda Fit was fit to be tied with a load of 10 bags of dirt and 6 bags of humus.
For you non-gardeners, that "humus" is not the garlicky kind of "hummus" you dip toasted pita bread into. This stuff is more a hybrid between mulch and dirt, which I expect to continue on its way to becoming excellent soil. When I started my yard garden six springs ago, it was mostly a little dirt and a lot of red clay applied generously during the construction of my house.
My kind son helped me break up the ground with a commercial tiller, and we began to add this and that to make it more plant friendly. Each year, I add a little more goodness to the ground, which has become surprisingly fertile with all the effort.
Planning for the garden may be as much fun to me as its implementation. I like to sit out there in the sunshine with a cold beverage and draw out where I want to plant this or that. What joy!
The Garden Bug now infects my next generation, so I'm headed to Jackson soon to help there with my son and daughter-in-law's new-house garden. It will start out small with some basics.
Amazingly, my son, who has never shown any particular handiness, spent all last weekend building a raised bed for the new culinary enterprise. Very impressive. Should we go ahead and put a few plants in, he asked. No, I think we're better to wait a week or so because a cold snap would just ruin all our efforts, I advised him.
Twenty-four hours later, Mother Nature rained baseball-sized hail on his house. Seven windows were broken and the roof may need an overhaul for the poor kids, just nine days into their new residence. They're learning fast about homeowners' insurance.
In my six squares of garden, the sugar-peas are coming up and the over-wintered parsley, cilantro and garlic are absolute stars. I got so excited about the beautiful parsley that I made a huge batch of Tabbouleh, which also involves Bulgur wheat, green onions, tomatoes, cumin, olive oil and lots of lemon juice. It was wonderful, so fresh.
You really can't beat the taste of freshness when you pick it and go right into the house to prepare it.
I can hardly wait for summer tomatoes, but I'll just calm down until I can get them planted Easter Weekend. I'm probably tempting fate by going ahead with cucumber and green-bean seeds. But hey, if they don't make it, it's easy enough to re-plant.
My Florida sister has a friend who's become a bit addicted to the dill pickles I make from my cucumbers, so I'm pushing for at least two crops this year. I've left enough space to plant more seeds in about a month.
I also admit I've found a way to be lazy and sensible at the same time. I've turned up some weedy rows and will leave them fallow for several months until it's time to plant fall/winter veggies.
Usually, I completely fill up the garden with summer stuff, which keeps on going well into the fall, and I don't have the heart to pull them up for something else. This year will be different, I'm hoping.
Some folks like to camp or play golf. I guess I'm just a farmer at heart.
Digging in the dirt is a great therapy from the daily stresses, and the reward is even more fabulous.

News Release
Sculpture exhibition to be featured in lecture
The Bellevue Sculpture Exhibition broke with tradition this year, adopting a theme for the first time. However, art historian Susan Olds says "Sculpted Green," which focuses on people's and artists' connections to the environment, is consistent with a kind of art that's been around for a very long time.
Environmental art has a long history, going all the way back to Stonehenge, the carved heads on Easter Island and monumental earth mounds. Olds, who has led education and outreach at the Bellevue Arts Museum, explores environmental art in an illustrated lecture -- "What on Earth?" -- at the Bellevue Regional Library, Monday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m.
In the lecture, envrionmental art from ancient times to the present will be examined in relation to Bellevue's latest sculpture exhibition. Take a virtual tour of sacred geometry in art, the historical use of organic and recycled materials and contemporary artists' responses to sustainability and living "off the grid."
In addition to artists participating in the Sculpted Green exhibition, artists to be presented include Christo, Andy Goldsworthy, Dennis Oppenheim, Jean Tinguely, James Turrell, Wolfgang Laib and Krzysztof Wodiczko. Catalogs of the "Sculpted Green" exhibition will be provided.
This event is sponspored by the Bellevue Public Art Program and Bellevue Friends of the Library. The Bellevue Regional Library is located at 1111 110th Ave. NE, with directions available on the library website.

First there's Iran:Hillary's peeps trying to get her some pub at Obama's expense. Love it."Clinton Urged Obama to Talk Tough on Iran"
At his June 23 news conference, Mr. Obama said he was "appalled and outraged" by Iranian behavior and "strongly condemned" the violence against anti-government demonstrators. Up until then, Mr. Obama and other administration officials had taken a softer line, expressing "deep concern" about the situation and calling on Iran to "respect the dignity of its own people."
Behind the scenes, the officials, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they were discussing internal deliberations, said Mrs. Clinton had been advocating the stronger U.S. response, but the president resisted. When he finally took her advice, the aides said, he did so without informing her first. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ugher-on-iran/
And then Hillary gets caught on video throwing a big temper tantrum at Obama for forcing her to parrott the lame party line support for the reinstatement of a Marxist stooge in Honduras:

JPMorgan today published some fascinating quarterly fodder that we've chewed on for you.
In a US Equity Strategy note, analyst Thomas Lee notes that select sectors — more to the point, companies — that have underperformed in the first quarter sometimes clean up in the second quarter.
Lee says that several underperforming laggards in the first quarters of 2009-2012 often rebounded in the second quarter. Getting right to it, in terms of this year's first and second quarters, Lee writes:
First-quarter performance was curious, in the sense that Health Care and Staples outperformed, while Materials (XLB) and Technology (XLK) lagged…
Technology analysts are the least bullish on their group since 2003 and excluding the "bubble collapse" period, there has never been time analysts are more bearish
The good news is that all this dogging on technology makes it appealing for the upcoming quarter, as Lee writes:
Short interest recently for both Materials and Technology surged to multi-year highs, For Technology, this is the highest level since 2006. Again, how much more negative can short-interest be? Or is this a contrarian indicator–we think so.
But what good is any of this stuff if they won't name names? JPMorgan delivered with 20 stocks that have the potential to outperform in the second quarter.
These stocks-with-potential all had the following criteria: They underperformed the S&P 500′s 10.6% Q1 gain, they have free cash flow yield of more than 5%, positive year-on-year revenue growth and have an overweight rating by JPMorgan analysts.
Of the 20 names on Lee's list, the one that immediately grabbed our attention was the currently-soured-upon Apple (AAPL), which declined 16% during the quarter and has made negative headlines nearly daily for the past two weeks. Among the other potential second-quarter picks were Ford (F), which rose 2.3% in Q1 and Capital One Financial (COF), which suffered a 5% decline.
