40th Anniversary Commemorative Conference: Honoring our History, Heralding our Future
Showing 46 items
"From Classical Kemetic Science to Traditional Bantu-Congo Thought to Contemporary Black Psychology: The (Re)Emergence of Sahku Sheti" This presentation will briefly discuss the grounding of classical and traditional African thought relative to the meaning of being human and the science of the spirit. It will illustrate the ancient Kemetic foundation and traditional African grounding for the development of Black Psychology; survey the reciprocal incubation of contemporary Black Psychology and Africana Studies; and, then discuss the re-emergence of the Sahku Sheti (i.e., the illumination of the spirit) as illustrative of a critical feature and responsibility of Multi-cultural and Ethnic Studies discourse. "Social Justice in Ancient Egypt: Maatian Discourse in Contemporary Times" The governing purpose of this paper is to delineate and critically examine the ancient Egyptian conception of social justice, its rootedness in the concept of Maat and its relevance as a philosophic option for contemporary times. To do this, I will conduct a critical examination of the conceptual foundations and institutional apparatus which undergird and inform this ancient and engaging notion. These include Maatian: (1) moral anthropology; (2) political theology; (3) legal framework; and (4) socio-ethical standards as evidenced in the available relevant texts. The project is informed by three interlocking and mutually reinforcing interests: recovering ancient African discourse on social justice; advancing the multicultural initiative in the academy; and demonstrating the Maatian ethical tradition's conceptual capacity and usefulness as a philosophic option in addressing major issues of our times. "New African Culture: An Original Expression of Ancient African Culture" As an extension of Karenga's Kemetic theme, my input will involve a Cultural and Philosophical analysis of the Twa origin of civilization including their origination of the foundation of Kemetic and African Philosophy through the notion of Massouri and Maau, which means "good, right, to be good, well to be straight." I will also examine their origination of Democracy (consensus-based) their origination of the notion of "Vital Force," and other concepts. This examination of the foundation of African culture and philosophy provides the basis for an examination of New African Culture that rests upon an African cultural foundation. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Forty years ago, students who fought for and later took the nation's first Ethnic Studies classes used their new critical education to inspire community-based movements for justice. Two generations later, students continue to find relevance, inspiration and guidance from the College of Ethnic Studies. This panel presentation will focus on the experiences of current students, who will discuss their expectations, hopes, frustrations, and the extent to which their efforts today and future work outside the classroom is shaped by their experience having taken many of the diverse course offerings in Ethnic Studies.http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel comprising faculty from area and Ethnic Studies at Cal State LA will critically engage in a conversation on the future of ethnic and area studies based on our experience of team-teaching comparative Ethnic Studies. The issues include theoretical reformulation, comparative methodology, pedagogy, and programmatic matters. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This workshop locates the culture of Hip-hop as a continuation of past social movements and civil rights activism. The critical pedagogy part of this exploration is embedded in the ways that Hip-hop music and culture can be used as a tool to engage students into a dialogue of past, present, and future conditions of underprivileged and underrepresented communities, inciting analysis and action around those existential experiences.http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
People of color who traveled to Palestine and witnessed, first hand, living conditions under Israeli occupation, will discuss their contradictory experiences between racism and suspicion, on one hand, and their ability to easily cross borders and get to places Palestinians are banned from because of their US citizenship, on the other. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel discusses how our new grad and undergrad Ethnic Studies Department at Colorado State applies its unique approach to vital issues in order to create social justice communities. We explain the importance of comparative global Ethnic Studies in the context of capitalist crisis and globalization in fulfilling our objectives..http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Financial literacy is a foundational element to capital formation. We will discuss how credit decisions are made and what are the critical decision points. In addition we will examine how the credit environment has changed. Finally, we will talk about wealth management and asset protection. This includes how insurance is key for the preservation of assets. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel includes US and International Jewish voices about the histories, identities, cultures, political organizing and visions that Zionism has obscured. Presentations will share the International Jewish anti-Zionist Network's liberation politics, organizing and vision, including an understanding of the role of the legacies of Jewish trauma, persecution and privilege in the historic and current violence of Zionism and Israel. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
The purpose of this panel is to introduce the nexus between Africana Studies and historic preservation as applied research. In 1857 the first African American bank in American history was launched on California Street in San Francisco. Most San Franciscans are not aware of such significant contributions of black people. Faculty in Africana Studies, along with local historian, Mr. John Templeton, have documented over 400 buildings (commercial and private) that should be placed in the National and State Register of Historical Places. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Dr. Ken Monteiro, Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies, San Francisco State University talks about the conference, the theme and the students. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
In our current socio-political context, Islam and Muslims are defined as the absolute and irredeemable Other, acceptably demonized in media, public discourses, and the academy. This panel will examine how limited conceptual frameworks color our understandings of history, class, race, gender, religion, and even social justice in regards to Muslims. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
A lecture/ discussion on the trials and tribulations we, as First Nations people, endured to implement Native American/Indigenous studies on the UC and CSU level. In 1968 when there were only 10 Native American Indians that held Ph.Ds. It was, to say the least, somewhat difficult to persuade a university into establishing a Native American Studies program. When they finally agreed to it, it was up to me to recruit faculty and students to make this program a success. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Visual Culture in African American Studies: An understanding of the history of art and visual culture has much to offer the field of African American Studies. Imagery can be key in understanding social behavior, political alliances, and value systems. This presentation examines the role of visual culture in advancing Black Power initiatives forty years ago. Sign of the Crossover: Mainstreaming Filipino Liminality Filipinos are exerting a dominant presence in the U.S. both demographically and in America's living rooms. Even so, I comment on the incongruity of Filipinos as the center of an Asian American racial discourse because of U.S. denial of colonial violence and the constricting narratives of East Asian Orientalism. Beyond Kingdoms, Kwashiorkor, Conflict and Corruption: The role of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency in Reshaping Perceptions of Africa and Africans This research project employs focus group data and content analysis techniques to address the lack of complex images of Africa and Africans that exist in the American media, using the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency as a vehicle for comparison. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
From the perspective of the pedagogical strategies of one Ethnic Studies PhD program, this paper explores the intellectual and political questions facing Ethnic Studies today. It calls for moving beyond the validation of differential experiences, which it argues, risks to become an apolitical exercise in mainstream multiculturalism. We focus on the relevance and limitations of an institutionalized ethnic studies in the 21st century given more timely demographic descriptors of the U.S., and a global economy and workforce. Based on our macro- and micro- multidimensional perspectives, research, and experience in public, private, nonprofit and university sectors for 40 years, we discuss three points: [1] the relevance and timeliness for a School of Ethnic Studies in 1968 in San Francisco; [2] successes and limitations of Ethnic Studies in the 20th Century; [3] how might Ethnic Studies adapt to a changing environment? http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Queers in Ethnic Studies are moving. Moved by ideological forces out of their control and at the same time facilitating movements in institutional and social structures antagonistic to their health and happiness, queers are both moved and movers. Come to a panel discussion on the significance and contribution of queer and LGBT people as an analytical framework and as a community of individuals. You will be moved by song, dance, prose, and more. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This interactive, interdisciplinary presentation uses storytelling and the personal journeys of two people to examine how well Ethnic Studies reaches the communities it cares about while addressing the importance of unlearning internalized oppressions so that we may cross boundaries that artificially divide us and take learning beyond the classroom. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Aubrey LaBrie, Taught the first "Black Nationalism" class at SF State, Mary Lewis, African American Studies, Laney Community College, Dr. Joe Illick, History Prof. Emeritus and first faculty sponsor of a Black Studies course, Askia Muhammad Toure, poet, one of the first faculty in the Black Studies Dept. Black Studies became an issue when black students demanded a curriculum that was more relevant to their experience. Out of the specialized demands of black students grew the broad based Ethnic Studies program. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
The panel deals with the origin of the NSA and its evolution into the Black Student Union (BSU). http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
We discuss how Ethnic Studies and environmental justice classrooms are sites for exploring oppression, resistance and liberation within today's particular socio-historical context, thus continuing to build a social justice praxis. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
We will be taking about producing a film and exhibit about the historical 40th anniversary of the occupation of Alcatraz Island. Archival footage will be shown. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel will reflect on contributions, developments and challenges within the field of Ethnic Studies. It will examine some of the gaps in different disciplines and address problems and issues that have emerged within the context of globalization, the current economic crisis, and changes in demographics. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
What is the relationship between blackness and indigenity? To engage this question, this paper takes a comparative look at the salience of this relationship in the lives of African-Native Americans (i.e., individuals that are of blended cultural and/or racial African and Native American descent) and Aboriginal Australians. Blackness and Indigenity must be understood in a manner consistent with the dynamic nature in which being both black and indigenous is navigated in everyday lives. In this paper, I will argue that ethnographic discussions of blackness and indigenity must reject socio-cultural deterministic conception of this relationship and be expanded to include the diversity of people that have been classified under these notions over time, so as to not lend the illusion that this relhttp://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel/symposium is based on the May 2009 roundtable presentation/discussion at the Richard Oakes Multicultural Center featuring Hoover Liddell and his report entitled Race and the San Francisco Schools, where he has found continued and persistent racial segregation in San Francisco's public schools with particularly devastating results for San Francisco's African American public school students. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
Pedagogical Engagement of Second Generation African Immigrants Paucity of knowledge abounds about the civil rights struggle in the sixties and even before this era. This paucity is not just among the younger second generation of African immigrants but also among young people in general. Pedagogical engagement that will instruct, enlighten, and enable intercultural dynamics to germinate and inform the coming generation is the purpose of this paper. Mother to Son: Toward A New Generation of Teaching African American in a Multi-Cultural and Pluralistic Society This presentation demonstrates how instructors of culture and ethnicity can acknowledge, and effectively teach Black Culture in their classrooms. Moreover, it will unmask some of the notions we have learned, practiced, and normalized within the world of academia as it highlights methods that can be employed to insure their dismissal. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This session explores some of the early models of scholar-engagement with community issues as well as contemporary models of community service designed for student-community engagement. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
A cross-generational, interdisciplinary panel of scholars will offer critical reflections on developments in the sociology of race and ethnicity from the 1960s to the present.http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
"The War at Hanapepe, Colonial Contexts" In the same spirit of coalition-building and the founding of Ethnic Studies (SF State), this panel broadly engages themes of independence, sovereignty, anti-imperialist action and solidarity at multiple sites including Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, South Africa and Okinawa. Each presenter meditates on the ways independence remains incomplete in these so-called former colonies. "Hanging in the balance: The politics of service delivery and housing policies in contemporary S. Africa" "Indigenous Possibility: Relocating Okinawa in the Asia-Pacific and Beyond" "Hawaiian Sovereignty: A Continuation of Po" "Puerto Rico: Modalities of Globalization" http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This documentary features in depth commentary from concerned CSU students, teachers and staff. The film analyzes the history of the budget cuts, priorities of California spending, and what California should be doing to save and promote public education. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
A brief history of the Chicano and Latino Studies department at CSU-Sonoma (SSU), from "Mexican-American" to "Chicano and Latino Studies" title, its ups and downs in enrollment and faculty during various budget cuts, and the University committees' occasional attempts to merge it away under one "Ethnic Studies" department. Now in its 39th year, it has survived, and is thriving with vibrant younger faculty, while mediating the strain between serving large-capacity GE classes and its Majors and Minors needs. This semester, this department was able to create a Minor in Latin American Studies (which previously floated in the catalog w/o a home dept) under its domain. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This panel considers the pasts and futures of Ethnic Studies as animated, in part, by a field constituted relationally by a range of global processes. In doing so, we sample current scholarship that explores questions of comparative racialization in a transnational framework. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
As a complement to Ethnic Studies, study abroad offers another tool for students to explore their ethnic and national identities. The panel will discuss the results of their research of study abroad with a focus on the experiences of students of color, especially as it relates to their examination of American and ethnic identities. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
A roundtable discussion co-hosted by faculty of the College of Ethnic Studies at SF State. http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/
This presentation critically investigates how Native (American) artists embrace the art and culture of Hip Hop to articulate a postcolonial rhetoric in space, location and identity. I will critically unpack centrist layers of post-modernism that contribute to a form of disenfranchisement for Native people (i.e., reservation/urban centers). http://www.sfsu.edu/~ethnicst/

It's Epiphany! We remember the time the wise men from the East went to Israel to search for and offer gifts and worship the new born King of the Jews. And so marks the end of the Christmas season. And I'm sharing with you the chocolate fruit cake we made last month (and still enjoying today).
I am now providing the links, but later on will write down the ingredients and method in this page.
Recipe for chocolate fruit cake by Nigella
Recipe for a homemade Tia Maria from a blog called Drinks Mixer
We also made our own candied peel–'still need to sit down to encode the recipe (many years overdue–including the mince pie recipe!).
Happy New Year!

Guess What I Did With My Saturday
July 2, 2011
Go ahead. Guess.
I'll wait.
You done guessing yet?
All I did was play some Bioshock 2, ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and saved a child from drowning at sea.
Nothing too much really.
Okay, you're right, one of those is a lie.
Actually, I did this:
That's right! I did it! My lamp is nearing completion!
Well, it's not even close to done yet, I just dry fitted the pieces together just to make sure everything worked correctly. Not to mention, despite my elaborate plans of construction, most of the design was thought up on the spot. Still though, progress has occurred.
So, please excuse me while I geek out about this thing for a post and then you can come back tomorrow and read a short story.
This is a rough look at the lamp I am building. It's made of CPVC pipe. I haven't glued it together yet because I'm afraid of making a permanent mistake. That, and I have 33 other steps in order to complete before I glue it.
Now, keep in mind, this is supposed to be a steampunk lamp. It will probably get shunned by the steampunk community once I finish it, but that's alright because It's just going to light up my bedroom anyway, so it doesn't matter how other people feel about it. I'm going for a copper pipe look, but without the gigantic cost of copper pipe.
By the way, you're looking at 10 feet of pipe. Yeah, I said 10 feet of pipe. That's exactly 5 feet of 3/4″ and 5 feet of 1/2″ pipe. I chose CPVC because it was cheaper to buy fittings for. The dimensions are roughly 14″ (width), 14″ (deep), and 24″ (height). You may be able to tell, but just in case you can't, a shade will hang over the bulb from the pipe that seems to reach into the air for no reason. The bulb will be placed in the open ended pipe directly underneath the hanging pipe. Voila, lamp.
Now the real delimma is trying to decide how I'm going to paint it. Today I commited to buying some spray paint and had to make a hard decision at the store. They didn't have copper spray paint (even though I know it exists). So I picked up some "aged/antiqued gold" which is pretty much the same as copper minus the red and shiny qualities. Here are a few of my color tests for proof.
This is just a test pipe fitting that I'm using as a color and paint test. This was soon sanded down with 200 grit sandpaper. This was done until there was no more gloss on the outside. It had been recommended to me that sanding would create more surface area for the paint to stick to, and the more that sticks is the more that stays on. I decided to put on a primer coat and make it black (because everybody online says that black primer will hide any ink on the pipe as well as add to the effect of the copper.
Now this is the appearance of the "copper" paint. I put some pennies next to it to show the difference in color. I'm actually pretty pleased with color. I think it will make it seem like the copper was aged a little bit. The downside is that it won't have that copper sheen or luster. I guess the other downside is if somebody who is a color nazi sees it they will probably say, "That looks like bronze, not copper." That's also when I hit them over the head with my fake copper spray paint and tell them that they need to lighten up.
Now, you have to trust me on this when I say it actually looks more like copper in person. I guess it is kind of lacking a redishness to it as well, but up close, and with no pennies next to it, it passes as a copper color. Anyway, I'm still going to see if there will be a way I can make it look more aged or used. I've even read online that I can add a green patina on the sharp corners to make it look more like it's been living under a basement for a few years.
In related news:
I tried buying a lamp shade earlier this week, but that fell through when I realized that the shade looked pretty… girly.
Yeah, I'm a dude building a lamp and all, but I don't want this thing to look girly. I want it to look like it should reside in some mad scientist's lab. A mad scientist with a particularly long white beard. I realize that this thought is a little foolish, but hey, my imagination works in ways that even I don't understand sometimes. So just bear with me.
Any recommendations for a lamp shade and/or painting tips to make it seem more aged would be deeply appreciated.
While I'm pretty ancy to get this thing put together, I'm still going to try and make sure that slow down and do things right. I'm pretty confident that I will be able to make the thing actually work and be functional and all, but will it look good? I dunno.
I suppose if I really mess this thing up, I'll just try again.
More to follow,

Obama has asked for a massive increase in funding for the LWCF in his budget proposal for the 2010 fiscal year ($420 million total), and has pledged to return the LWCF to full funding ($900 million) by 2014.

Emergency Room Reflective
During the rotation I was paired with a nursing that has been working in the Emergency Department for 25 years. Even though she could complete tasks in half of the time, she was more than happy for explain everything with so much passion. While getting to know each other she talked about her nursing school years and Kingsborough and how things have changed.
Throughout the day the Emergency Department was literally a revolving door. Patients were coming from the waiting room as well as Ambulette Services. The department was very crowded because of the patients on stretchers that were lined back to back in the hallway. It was a little difficult getting by in such a confined space, but knowing that these patients were willing to wait for their care was notable.
The Emergency Department can sometimes be a gruesome or solemn. The RN on call cared for all of her patient's like family. It was amazing to see how fast she recognized different cultures throughout the day. I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to help translate with some Spanish speaking patients. This reminded me how important it was to know more than one language in the medical field. The patient was finally able to express herself to get the help that she needed.
Nurses in the Emergency Department are constantly on their feet. Whether it's checking vital signs, administering medication or restocking the room, my RN barely had time to drink her morning coffee. With everything going on they still made sure to perform the 3 checks before medication administration to the 6 rights of the client. While performing the 3 checks the RN...

I want to do something completely different from my current job. I have a number of projects that I have been working on, that I could make serious headway in if I dedicated myself to them. I basically have all the resources I need to complete these projects, build a portfolio, freelance, I just need the time, and the energy. Having no job would also be a huge motivator to actually do something.
I understand why employers are not keen on hiring people that don't currently have a job, and that makes sense if you are quitting a job, then trying to find job that requires a similar skillset.
However, what about if you decide that you know where your passion is, and you deliberately took time off to build the skills needed for that area? How would it look to prospective employers if you take a working sabbatical to pivot careers entirely? Would it make a difference if this was organized classes rather than the planned self-study?
EDIT: I do not believe this is a duplicate question to this because I am more interested in the "sabbatical" or time off of working aspect to jumpstart a different career path.


text: On our Pinterest kick, we have found a LOT of DIY projects that we want to try. One of them is decoupaged tiles. We thought, what better use for tiles than coasters?! So we went to one of our new favorite stores- Home Depot. Go figure! We got some really cheap white tiles- 16 cents each!- and got to decorating. Our technique needs a little help, though. They came out slightly bumpy, but nothing a nice wine glass won't cover up! We printed out the design straight from the computer. Next time, I think I'll use slightly thicker paper so it doesn't bunch quite as much. Not bad for a whole coaster set for less than $1!! Just need to add some cork underneath so they don't scratch everything.

LBSU extends winning streak to five with wins against UC Irvine, UC Davis
Josh Barajas, Sports Editor
The Long Beach State women's volleyball team took down both UC Irvine and UC Davis on the road in four sets on Thursday and Saturday, respectively; to make it five wins a row for the 49ers.
Four 49ers (19-5, 9-2) finished with double-digit kills in both road games, but none stood out more than junior outside hitter Nele Barber.
Against Irvine (11-12, 5-6), Barber recorded her second 20-kill performance in a row by notching 21 kills to go along with 16 digs.
Sophomore Ashley Murray added 13 kills, senior Hayley Benson added 12 and freshman Peyton Grahovac finished with 10.
The 49ers won a highly contested first set, 26-24, before running away with the second, 25-13. The Anteaters took the third set, 25-17, before LBSU closed them out in the fourth, 25-15.
On Saturday, Barber again erupted for LBSU by racking up 16 kills and 19 digs for her 19th double-double as a 49er. Murray grabbed another 13 kills while Grahovac posted a career-high .500 hitting percentage to go along with 11 kills. Freshman Carly Beddingfield also added 11 kills as LBSU dispatched Davis (11-14, 6-5) in four sets.
The 49ers showed they came ready to play on Halloween night by taking the first set by a whopping score of 25-10. LBSU won a closer second set 25-22 before dropping the third set to the Aggies by the same score. The 49ers sealed the game in the fourth set, 25-20, to extend their winning streak to five.
LBSU is still a game and a half behind Hawaii for first place in the Big West, however the two teams will meet next Friday.
First, the 49ers have a road game against CSU Fullerton on Wednesday at 7 p.m. before they get a chance to avenge their Oct. 11 loss to Hawaii on Friday at the Walter Pyramid at 7 p.m.
LBSU splits doubleheader against Stanford, Golden West College
Will Hernandez, Contributing Writer
The Long Beach State men's water polo team lost 13-8 to Stanford in the first game of its doubleheader on Saturday, but hung on to defeat Golden West College 9-8 at the Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center in the finale.
The 49ers (10-12, 1-5 MPSF) trailed Stanford 8-7 at the end of three periods. However, Stanford's goalkeeper Drew Holland's four saves in the fourth period stymied LBSU's late come-from-behind attempt.
The 49ers' matchup with Stanford was highlighted by a record-setting performance by the Cardinal's Brett Bonnani. Thirty seconds into the match, Bonnani scored the first goal of the game on a five-meter penalty shot to tie former Cardinal Tony Azevedo's school record of 332 career goals.
Bonnani scored five more goals in the game and now owns the all-time Stanford and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation scoring record with 337 goals.
LBSU freshman Keegan Wicken led the 49ers in scoring with a hat trick. His first score helped the 49ers take a 3-2 lead at the end of the first.
In the second, Holland shut out the 49ers while Stanford (17-6, 3-3 MPSF) added three goals to take a 5-4 lead into halftime.
In their second match of the day, the 49ers came-from-behind in the fourth period to beat Golden West College in an exhibition contest. LBSU was down 6-4 to Golden West at the end of three periods before a five goal fourth period lifted them to a 9-8 win.
Redshirt freshman attacker Max Cusator netted the game-winner and senior Dimitrios Lappas scored three goals in the match.
The 49ers will play their last home game of the season against No. 1 UCLA on Saturday at the Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center.
LBSU runs into fourth, sixth place
Kayce Contatore, Assistant Sports Editor
The Long Beach State men's and women's cross country teams finished in fourth and sixth, respectively, at the Big West Conference Championships at UC Riverside on Saturday.
Two 49ers, juniors Kathleen Dunne and Emilio Nunez, finished in the top 15 in their races. Dunne finished 12th in the women's 6,000 meter race while Nunez took home the 15th position in the men's 8,000 meter race.
For the women's teams, Cal Poly took home the top spot, followed by UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, UC Riverside, Cal State Fullerton and LBSU.
The LBSU women's team had three more runners finish in the top 50 of the race. Sophomore Mikayla Florez finished in 35th place with a time of 22:08.45 while juniors Ashley Carrera and Pauline Mandel ended up in 40th and 41st, respectively.
On the men's side, UCSB captured first place, Cal Poly came in second and UC Davis finished third, ahead of the 49ers.
The 49er men's team had four more men claim spots in the top 40. Junior Sam Bautista finished in 17th, junior Kevin Ramirez took home the 21st, freshman Andres Barragan ended one spot behind Ramirez in 22nd and senior Tim Bergstrom finished in the 37th position.
The 49ers continue their travels as they head to the NCAA West Regional race hosted by the University of Washington on Nov. 13.

Youth is the time when the body is able to defy gravity, with every part of the body stays upright. However, with the prolonged exposure to gravity and as age catch up, the body's ability to keep every part still upright can be a challenge.
Buttocks are the main organs used for sitting down. It is also one of the sensual organs that a human being has that could be used as an attraction for both genders.
The Brazilian butt lift or BBL is a butt augmentation procedure that gives or brings back the youthful, prominent, perky buttocks. It helps to bring all the right curves to the right spot.
About the procedure
The BBL is the most natural way to augment the buttocks as it uses the body's own fat. It addresses the issue of flat, sagging, asymmetrical, disproportionate buttocks. The BBL is a procedure that has been a popular demand in the recent years amongst men and women of all ages.
In Shens Clinic, the BBL is done with fat grafting. It is a procedure involving liposuction and transferring the fats suctioned, to the buttocks, which is considered the more natural way to replace lost volume.
The liposuction procedure is carried out with the 4D High Definition Vaser Liposuction, the safest and latest technology in liposuction procedures. This fat is then processed for purification before injecting it into the buttocks. The areas for liposuction include back (just above the buttocks), stomach and thigh. With the liposuction itself, the body is already shaped up to the curvaceous look.
The fat grafting procedure is done after the harvested fat has been processed carefully. The fat is used to contour the curves of the lower back leading to a pleasing waist and hip lines.
Advantages of fat grafting
Fat grafting has been used more often as of recent times, for restoring of lost volume to the face, breast enhancement and buttocks enhancement. It can also be very cost effective when combined with another procedure.
Does the procedure involve pain?
The liposuction procedure would be done under general anesthesia. There might be mild bruising and swelling, depending on the severity of the liposuction.
The procedure takes about 1 hr and is expertly performed by our consultant plastic surgeon.

Variety (March 23rd 2019):
"Yoko Ono was — is — nothing if not an artist of many facets, as someone who started out in the most avant-garde corners of the visual and performance art worlds and ended up having a flair for conventional pop songwriting. Both sides, the disrupter and the sentimentalist, were celebrated in a wide-ranging tribute concert Friday at L.A.'s Walt Disney Hall, where a cast of dozens of women participated in "Breathwatchlistentouch: The Work and Music of Yoko Ono," as the 86-year-old artist looked on from a few rows back."
"It was all-female, but not "all-star," as Girlschool LA, which produced the show in collaboration with the L.A. Phil and the Fluxus Festival, drew on a satisfyingly eclectic mix of mostly local talent for the lineup. It did wrap up with a couple of big rock 'n' roll names. One was Garbage's Shirley Manson, who chose a pair of songs that encapsulated Ono's most angst-ridden and domestically tranquil sides. The other was St. Vincent, who eschewed music altogether in favor of a sexually explicit comedy bit — a puzzling performance that could only be understood as an attempt to re-embrace Ono as less of a cuddly figure and more of an OG provocateur."
"As much as the show wanted to pay tribute to Ono's envelope-pushing early years, it became clear from the late '70s onward that she really sought to be a uniter, not a divider, emphasizing messages of peace, hope and love over outlier art-world signifiers. And so the inevitable finale was an audience sing-along of "Imagine," the Lennon song that Ono was recently officially given co-writing credit on, with Manson saying she was responsible for "the philosophy behind it and many of the ideas and I'm sure probably many of the lyrics. We're going to sing her song, the song of the 20th century."
Given the composition of the cast and crew honoring Ono as an ultimately triumphant underdog, there seemed to be an additional unspoken message: Imagine the future is female."

Hürriyet Daily News (April 2nd 2019):
"Fifty years after John Lennon and Yoko Ono famously staged a honeymoon "bed-in" for peace in an Amsterdam hotel, a Dutchman has unearthed 30 minutes of color footage of the event from his cellar."
"The European leg of their honeymoon, which included an unusual press conference in Vienna with the glamour pair obscured inside a giant "bag," was a huge media event, each step captured by photographers and videographers. This included a Dutch team shooting footage for a two-part, 84-minute documentary, a kind of video diary filmed at the pair's request.
It was broadcast only once, shortly after the honeymoon, and shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival the same year before disappearing into the archives of broadcaster KRO, where Jan Hovers was employed in the 1980s.
During a major cleanup of used film reels, he stumbled upon a tin marked: "Mr. & Mrs. Lennon's Honeymoon" among others earmarked for the rubbish heap.
"I asked if I could keep it and they said: 'No problem, it will all be destroyed anyway'," Hovers told the Nieuwsuur current affairs program broadcast April 1. He said he watched the footage with great pleasure, but then "forgot about it."

Hyperallergic (March 30th 2019):
"By the time John Lennon and Yoko Ono released their Wedding Album on the Beatles' Apple Records label in late 1969, seven months after marrying in a low-key civil ceremony in the tiny, British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, the Liverpool-born Lennon, then one of the most famous rock stars in the world, knew that even his most off-the-cuff pronouncements would be gobbled up and analyzed by the media as emblematic reflections of the Zeitgeist."
"Now, 50 years after Lennon and Ono, each fresh from a divorce, became husband and wife on March 20, 1969, the US-based labels Secretly Canadian and Chimera Music are jointly re-releasing Wedding Album, its vinyl-LP and compact-disc formats complete with faithful reproductions of the original vinyl record's innovative packaging."
"Throughout 1969, as the costly, aimless war in Vietnam dominated the headlines, Lennon and Ono were busy with collaborative artistic and musical projects, including the production of Wedding Album. It became the third of the experimental recordings they released in album form, following Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins (1968) and Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions (1969), since they had first met in London three years earlier."
"In a 2014 article in Gibraltar Magazine, Charlie Galliano, the clerk in the British territory's Magistrates Court who oversaw their marriage proceedings, remembered that the Beatles' manager, Peter Brown, had contacted him to schedule a date.
Galliano stated, "I was sworn to total secrecy, as the couple wanted to avoid press coverage with hordes of journalists and photographers." On the day of the event, Lennon, Ono, Brown, and a sole, accompanying photographer arrived on a privately chartered airplane. Galliano recalled, "Although the doors of the marriage registry were open, no one attended, not even a single member of the media[,] such was the effect of the total news blackout."
"In the pre-live-streaming era, the album's unusual packaging offered the next best thing to having been at the artists' secretive marriage ceremony. (It may also be seen as another example of the influence Ono brought to her collaborative projects with Lennon from the world of conceptual art, in which photographs, videos, audio recordings, and/or artist-published materials served as tangible documentation for many an ephemeral "happening" or site-specific piece. Earlier in her career, Ono and her fellow participants in Fluxus, an international community of avant-garde artists, had produced printed cards, posters, and other multiples, both as documentation and as art objects in themselves.)"
"On Wedding Album, Ono chats with a reporter who stops by the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam to check out his first-ever "Bed-In."
"Let's go back to the future," she says, "which is mainly why we're here [doing this event]. We want to talk mainly to young people all over the world, because those are the people who are going to be the next generation. They are going to be the next world. And we just want to say that we are with them."

The Power Drive of the Abuser An abuser's desire for power and control is what drives the abusive relationship. It's no surprise that finances will be impacted as well.

My memories of school seemed to have missed one of the most important aspects of life – financial education. There was one class I attended and which had something to do with financial learning. It was how to balance a checkbook. Funnily enough, I have never owned one after 1994! Learning about money and how it worked in society and business was never taught in school. Even today, it's not a curriculum subject. Bad error.Continue Reading

Doctor Who 33.08 Let's Kill Hitler (2011)
The Doctor, Amy, Rory and the TARDIS are kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to 1938 Berlin where they inadvertently interrupt the assassination of Adolf Hitler.
How had there not been an Seventies exploitation movie with this title? While the episode story is too jarring to convince (especially regarding a brainwashed assassin who suddenly isn't when the plot needs it) and repeatedly putting a principal character's life in danger works to undermine it's potential drama, there's just too much fun spread around to keep complaining. When you've got lines like "Take Hitler and put him in that cupboard", the rest of the episode gets a pass.
This Doctor Who episode contains unpleasant scenes.

Maggie Simpson
Maggie Simpson is the baby of the family. She hasn't learned to talk yet, which might be due to all the times she's tripped on her onesie and fallen on her face. It might also explain her violent streak, which includes threatening her rival Gerald and shooting Mr. Burns.

This time the context is new fall television. So far, I've seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Class, Six Degrees, and Heroes. (minor spoilers ahead)
Six Degrees
This is a well-acted and nicely shot show. But it's dully written and as such, is likely to be my first Season Pass casualty. The characters are clichéd beyond belief:
- A straightlaced public defender who goes "nuts" over a quirky, fun-loving girl
- A gambling addict trying to live honestly, who gets sucked back into whatever by his criminal brother
- A mother grieving her dead husband
- A fast-track businesswoman ready for marriage who learns her fiancé is cheating on her
- A guy who had everything and destroyed it, who's trying to get it back
In contrast, there's...
The Class
I posted on the pilot before, and have watched one additional episode since. The performances are still stiff, the production very "sound stage classic sitcom." And I can't say the writing has NO clichés, especially as regards characterization, but they do follow my acceptability clause when it comes to clichés: If you're going to go there, twist it up.
So there's the slacker who lives with his mother and longs for the girl he let go--but is smarter than he sounds and apparently good at his job in construction. There's a gay man who's happy and in a committed relationship and even a TEACHER! And another gay man who apparently doesn't know he's gay (in a totally different way than Jonas of Arrested Development). The dialogue is funny without trying too hard (okay, sometimes it tries too hard, but it still gets me to laugh). My favorite character is Richie, a guy who's miserable enough to commit suicide but keeps getting interrupted. He meets Lina, thinks maybe he has a chance to be happy, but runs her over with his car and breaks all the bones in her feet. When she wakes up in the hospital, the first thing she says is "I met the nicest guy."
So this show has a chance. It doesn't make me run to the TiVo, but I'm happy to use it to fill in the gaps.
This show is a surprise. It's darker, moodier, than I expected it or wanted it to be. I think the indestructable cheerleader tried to commit suicide, and that's how she found out she can't be killed. Her certainty that this has ruined her life is very annoying. I mean, come on! You can't be harmed. That seems pretty damned cool to me. Then there's a desperate mom with maybe a powerful second personality...a desperate geek who can teleport...a sweet, selfless guy who can maybe fly and loves his asshole older brother (and if it turns out only the brother can fly, I'll hate the show)...a hot Indian who's father was researching these genetic anomalies...a desperate painter who's predicting disasters (why, I asked my husband, do people with predictive powers ONLY predict bad things?)...and more desperation to come, from what I can tell.
It sounds like I don't like the show, which is weird, because I did like it. It was interesting and well done all around, even if I'm having a hard time connecting with any of the characters. I'm willing to give it a lot more time to grab me than I'm willing to give Six Degrees.
And finally, the pièce de résistance:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Funny, dramatic, unpredictable, suspenseful. This show has the best chemistry between actors of all the new ones I've seen so far. Relationships are complex. Humor is paramount but not at the expense of the drama. The filming is...geez, I'm gonna sound like a geek...compelling. Yes, the FILMING. There's one scene in the second show that follows Matt and Harriet through the set, and you feel the presence of it just like you do the spaceship Serenity when you watch Firefly. It feels more real than any of the other shows, which is ironic since it's set IN Hollywood, often considered the most UNreal place on the planet. :)
How about the new episodes of old shows?
Prison Break
Not as good as last year, but still decent. The yummy factor is still huge, and the speed with which the FBI agent has gotten on the trail is fascinating. It feels like it doesn't have much further to go, however, which is worrisome.
Since this show started in the summer, I'm not sure how long it's going to go before its season ends. It's my first Sci-Fi Original Series. :) The gimmick still works for me. I like the "what if" element, and the characters are interesting enough to keep me watching. They seem to have dropped their overriding conspiracy, however, and that jars me whenever I see Beverly-the-shrink-who's-much-much-more.
Season premiere in two parts, so far as comfortably good as it was last year. It's a quiet show, not as explosive and rock-music-driven as its bigger compatriots. It drops and picks up characters and their plot threads seemingly at whim. And I really doubt a single FBI team would cover soooo many different kinds of crimes (but I could easily be wrong). I like the people, I like the stories...a definite keeper, though again, I'm not driven to the TV to watch it.
I can't wait for Lost next week. I guarantee it will top my list again. Ugly Betty and 30 Rock are well reviewed, though I'm not too excited about either one. I just want something to make me laugh. The Nine starts next week after Lost, and tomorrow I get Smallville (yay!) and Supernatural (which I still have yet to watch on DVD, season 1). Twenty Good Years is my final test show, and I have a feeling I'll keep that one and drop 30 Rock and/or Ugly Betty. When Lost goes on early haitus after far too few episodes, I'll check out Daybreak, which, like Six Degrees, has a high concept that might not be borne out in the execution.
So, how do you all rate the new fall season so far?

Announced yesterday, the frantic and fantastic Just Shapes & Beats will be coming to PS4 on May 10th.
That's not all though. Developer Berzerk Studio has been struggling with the fact that they've kept being told that Just Shapes & Beats wouldn't be hard enough for Playstation fans.
Just Shapes & Beats: Hardcore Edition will contain everything that made the original game great, but adds in an extra mode where everything gets "bat. shit. crazy." for those players insane enough to want that sort of thing.
Berzerk is also bring approximately 39 extra tracks that will be exclusive to PS4 version of the game at launch. Worry not though, as these will be arriving on the other platforms as a free update in the near future.
Berzerk also confirmed that every new tracks that comes to Just Shapes & Beats will come with a Hardcore version as well, so there's no end in sight if you like a challenege with your shapes and your beats.

The Pacific is the new miniseries on HBO that takes a look at WWII in the Pacific Theatre, which is mostly looked over in films and TV. The Thin Red Line is so far the best war film that deals with the fight in this particular area. Of course if you've seen Band Of Brothers then you'll know that these Spielberg/Hanks produced miniseries aren't Malickian in nature. They are about telling the stories of the heroics, courage and honor of the men who fought and died. The score had to reflect this.
The unbelievable task of scoring this monster epic series was handed to Hans Zimmer, Geoff Zanelli and Blake Neely. Zanelli has stated that he spent 9 months working on this. The score itself is not an action score if that's what you're expecting. Think The Thin Red Line but woven with the heroism found in Zimmer's score for Pearl Harbor. The score is an immense journey of tragedy, sacrifice and finding strength within.
There are certain cues on this release that I found just absolutely stirring. Tracks like "We've Gone Respectable", "Even The Trees Hate Us" and "Where Do We Go From Here" will shake your emotional core. Truly beautiful and moving music that reflects the stories being told. The score is not afraid to embrace the darkness of war, which so many scores do not. Most scores like Saving Private Ryan and Flags Of Our Fathers, while great, will stick only to the heroic route and never say "Hey, this is terrible stuff and I'm going to make you feel emotionally vulnerable now." That's what The Pacific does. It makes you feel emotionally vulnerable. Not so much as to the extent The Thin Red Line did, which is a score you should never listen to you unless you're prepared to shed some tears. Here the composers successfully examine the darkness of war but they keep it within the POV of the American soldiers. You won't find any ethnic sounds or arrangements here.
The main theme for The Pacific is entitled "Honor", which says a lot about the focus of this amazing score. Zimmer, Zanelli & Neely were all perfect for the project. Neely especially seems befitting since he worked a lot with the late Michael Kamen who scored Band Of Brothers. This CD release is mostly representative of Zanelli's and Neely's work with a touch of Zimmer. Remember though, this is merely the surface of the score which spans 10 episodes. If you're a fan of the genre I urge you take a listen and if you're a fan of the composers then it's a no brainer. What we have here is something memorable. The composers should be extremely proud of their work here.

GroupM Names New Global Chief Investment Officer

Theakstone (pictured above) will be based in London and New York, and will report to GroupM's global CEO, Kelly Clark.
He will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of GroupM's global media investments, trading activities and commercial partnerships.

A road where a woman was killed and a man left seriously injured after a crash was due to have safety improvements which had to be shelved because of council spending cuts, local residents claim.
The council had planned to widen a part of Gravelly Hill and turn it into a dual carriageway after concerns about the number of accidents.
But the plans were abandoned last year when the council said it could not afford it.
An 18-year-old woman died after the car in which she was a rear seat passenger collided with a transit van which had a cherry picker on the back at 1.30am yesterday.
A man, believed to be in his 20s, who was the front seat passenger, suffered serious head and internal injuries and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery and is in a critical condition.
Two women who were rear seat passengers sustained head and leg injuries and were taken to City Hospital and their conditions were not said to be serious.
The 19-year-old male driver of the car was not injured and was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.The driver of the transit van was uninjured.
The smash happened Bellingham Court, less than 50metres from the junction with Kingsbury Road and a similar distance from Spaghetti Junction.
Earlier this month four men escaped injury when their car skidded sideways into a lamp post near the scene of yesterday's tragedy.
Firefighters said that on that occasion the driver had attempted a U-turn but lost control in "slippery conditions"
After yesterday's accident, residents Barry and Winifred Powles, who have lived opposite the crash site for 52 years, said they were not surprised it happened.
Mr Powles said: "In both directions, some come hurtling along that road - sometimes at 70mph.
"It is so fast my wife and I are scared to cross Gravelly Hill. Instead we get on the bus, get off after two stops and cross the road further up the road."
Mrs Powles said: "A couple of years ago all the residents had letters consulting us about widening the road so the council could build a dual carriageway.
"There are so many accidents at that silly little junction with Kingsbury Road because no-one knows if they have to stop, or indicate or just carry on.
"The council wanted to create a proper junction with a turning lane and everything, but the plans never came to anything because it found it didn't have the money."
No-one was immediately available for comment from the city council.

A survey released at the end of last year placed the UK as the worst place to live in Europe, in terms of quality of life. And guess who came out on top? Yes, France topped the chart, thanks to the earliest retirement age in Europe, the highest percentage of GDP spent on healthcare (11%) and the longest life expectancy. France's lucky workers also have 36 days holiday a year (compared to the UK's lowly 28) and are only behind Spain and Italy in terms of hours of sunshine.
So why did the UK fair so poorly? Not only do we pay the most for food and diesel, the government spends below the European average on health and education. As the coalition government cuts take effect across the UK, things are not likely to get better, with over £300 million siphoned off the education budget. This lack of outlay into health and education could directly contribute to the UK's lower life expectancy- studies suggest that those with better educations live longer and more healthy lives.
The average net household income in the UK is above the European average, thankfully. Indeed with the higher cost of living here the extra income is needed for utility bills, food and items such as cigarettes and alcohol. Debt is also a serious problem, with 18% living through their bank loans, 14% straining to meet repayments and as many as 49% feeling worse off than ever before.
We work longer, retire later, receive less annual leave then most of Europeans and get less sunshine (no surprise there). To top it off, people in the UK die on average two years before the French.
Time for a move across the channel then?
Unsurprisingly, 3 in 10 people think that now is a good time to emigrate. And so do we. Past research (by Natwest International) has shown that fewer and fewer expats say they'll return to the UK in the future. Even though natural environment, climate, culture and leisure, healthcare and education take priority for most over financial issues, it's interesting to note that professional expats are typically earning over £20,000 more than their UK peers, with 92% reporting an increase in salary over the past three years.
As an added bonus, remember that the new 20% VAT rate introduced this year in the UK now means that we'll be paying more VAT than the French (the standard being 19.6%).
