Yes, the new line of Paul Mitchell Curl products were the hottest thing to debut at The Gathering this year, but as every curly will surely want to know: do they actually work?
- The sulfate-free Detangling Shampoo that promises to both cleanse and provide sufficient slip for working a comb through it
- The Twirl Around styler, which combines a cream and gel giving it both the moisture and hold
Trying the NEW Paul Mitchell Curl products
The Cleanser, Leave-In and Styling Gel Cream on my 4a coils
Pretty groovy, right? Well we all know that you can't make a final judgement call on sopping wet hair so I recorded a second video when my curls were fully dry before I headed out for the night.
How it all turned out

Final Thoughts
After sleeping with a satin night cap, I woke up the next morning to enjoy superb second day hair. I was impressed again by the fact that I can go through my whole wash'n'go styling routine with only two products and how touchably soft my hair was. The Paul Mitchell educators, such as Robert Cromeans or LaDonna, all encourage the cocktailing and mixing of products and I look forward to playing with different variations, uses and applications.

Gasoline prices in California hit record highs again on Monday, with the price of a gallon of regular going for an average of $4.703 in Los Angeles County.
MORE: Gas Prices Spike as Wholesale Supplies Dwindle | Rising Gas Prices Affect Car Sales
Statewide, the average was $4.668 per gallon, up a little more than a penny over Sunday's record price.
But prices at the wholesale level were already starting to come down, signalling a possible end to the price spikes.
Sunday night, the California Air Resources Board moved to increase the supply of fuel in the state, telling refineries that they could begin making and distributing a cheaper type of gasoline that is normally only allowed in California during the winter.
Gov. Jerry Brown earlier in the day had called on the agency to act, and by evening a message had been sent to industry players that they could start making and selling this so-called winter-grade fuel immediately, said Dave Clegern, a spokesman for the Air Resources Board.
It will still take a few days for the fuel to make it to market, Clegern said, but wholesalers already appear to be responding.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D - CA), meanwhile, asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether refineries caused the price spikes by deliberately manipulating the supply of gasoline in the state.
Feinstein cited a story by the Reuters news service on the possibility that a type of market manipulation called a "short squeeze" was behind a recent drop in supply.
California's other Democratic Senator, Barbara Boxer, also called for an investigation.
"I don't know whether there has been purposeful manipulation, but I want to find out," Boxer said during an appearance Monday in Glendale.
Marie Montgomery, a spokeswoman for the Automobile Club of Southern California, said a panic on the wholesale market caused prices to hit record highs, especially for the mom-and-pop gas stations that do not own their own refineries.
A big spur, she said, was a decision by the refineries to keep as little of the more expensive summer-grade gasoline on hand, so as to avoid being caught with it after October, when winter-grade gas goes on sale in the state.
The summer-grade gasoline is less likely to contribute to California's notorious summer smog problems, but it costs more to make, prompting price hikes every summer.
But this year, just as wholesalers were letting their supplies of the summer formulation dwindle to the lowest levels in years, several other factors combined to put a serious crimp in the amount of gas available to local retailers, Montgomery said.
A power outage at a major Southern California Exxon refinery and fears of contamination in a Kern County pipeline drove supplies down further. To make matters worse, a Northern California refinery struck by fire earlier this year is still not back up to capacity.
"The week before this happened, the inventories were reported to be at their lowest levels in a decade," Montgomery said.
"They were just trying to really not make one penny's worth more of the more expensive gas than they had to, and so then they got caught in this perfect storm of events."
Last week, the price of a gallon of gasoline spiked as high as $5.79 thanks to a dramatic increase in the wholesale cost of fuel and panic-buying among gas station owners.
Fuel was also harder to find at many locations, as some mom-and-pop retailers decided to sit out the price hikes and just shut down. Others looked for gasoline to sell, but couldn't find it.
The automobile club has an online service that helps consumers find the least expensive gasoline in their area.

Carrying what may be largest-ever IPO in U.S. history, Alibaba is still a very Chinese firm at its heart.
As founder and chairman Jack Ma reportedly admitted in his internal email on Monday, Alibaba would encounter "unparalleled challenges and pressures" in the U.S. IPO due to the scale, expectations, cultural clashes, and consciousness of national boundaries, geopolitical and geoeconomic factors.
One way of understanding Alibaba and its similarities and differences with Western counterparts is to look at Ma, the life and soul of the ecommerce giant.
Other Chinese business leaders tend to see the 49-year-old Ma, a former language teacher who's fluent in English, as quite westernized compared to his entrepreneurial peers.
David Li, China chairman for UBS, sees Ma as one of the best in the group who have integrated Western and Chinese values well in their corporate cultures.
With his spirit of adventure, he is just like an "American cowboy" and "has guts" besides the vision and passion needed to start a business, Li told MarketWatch.
But, Li says, Ma is also very traditionally Chinese at his core, and he manages his business empire with principles rooted in Confusian culture.
Like many of his big local rivals, Ma is a big fan of taichi, the Chinese martial art combining slow-motion exercise and meditation. When he resigned as CEO of Alibaba in May of last year, he co-founded a tachi school with kung-fu movie star Jet Li in Hangzhou, city where Alibaba is headquartered.
As he was quoted in a state media report when he opened the school, Taiji Zen, in May: "If you want to live long, you'd better move less; if you want to live better, you'd better move more. Just like a person, if the company wants to live long and well, you'd better perform taichi and move slowly."
"Actually I almost totally follow taichi principles in running the company," Ma said, adding that the practice teaches "how to use four ounces to move a thousand pounds," according to comments quoted by the state-run China Economic Daily.
Ma urged people "to calm down, to slow down, and realize sometimes slow means fast."
Alibaba's employees have included nearly 5,000 taichi practitioners, including a few winners of international tachi competitions, the China Economic Daily said, citing data from Alibaba.

Gulf disturbance could move towards Texas
The tropical system dubbed Invest 92L has moved across the Yucatan Peninsula and is now in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
It appears, from satellite images, the system is breaking into two separate storms, and one of these has the potential to affect Texas.
The northern disturbance should get pulled further north, toward Louisiana, during the next couple of days. However, due to high wind shear across the northern Gulf of Mexico it is not expected that this system will develop significantly. It should be a rainmaker, however, producing several inches of rain along the northern Gulf Coast from Louisiana to Florida this weekend.
The southern disturbance, now moving into the Bay of Campeche, is potentially of more interest to Texas. That's because wind shear is not as high in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and weak steering currents, most likely, will allow the storm to remain over water for a few days before the system moved into Mexico or Texas early next week.
The forecast track models indicate a range of possibilities and I believe they are somewhat confused by the splitting of the storm into two systems.
The preponderance of models bring the storm toward the Texas-Mexico border by Monday or Tuesday of next week, and I would expect the system to most likely remain south of the region. But until the southern disturbance becomes more organized, and because of the weak steering currents, I think we should have very little confidence in forecast tracks.
Unfortunately there is a lot of uncertainty about this system. Nothing could form at all, but at the same time there's the possibility of a tropical depression developing off the coast of Texas this weekend. In August, that's something that's always worth paying attention to.
I'll be following this one closely.

Coming Soon: The Ox-Chip Made in Brazil
Latin America's First Functional Front-End Fab Debuts First Chips
By Christian Gregor Dieseldorff, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics, San Jose, California
Just two weeks before the world-famous Carnaval, Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, inaugurated CEITEC's Front End fab in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The February 5th event was of historic importance as this is the first and only semiconductor front-end fab of all Central and South America. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, or "Lula" as he is known to his public, was there to mark this important milestone in Brazil's move towards developing and growing an electronic industry.
Eduard Weichselbaumer, CEO of CEITEC, presents the "Ox-chip" or also called "Chip Do Bois," which will start risk production in the 2nd half of 2010 in Porto Alegre.
Left to right: Eduard Weichselbaumer, CEO of CEITEC; Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, president of Brazil; Dilma Rousseff, minister of Civil Affairs; Fábio Pintchovski, director of Manufacturing and Research; behind Dilma Rouseff: Dr. Sergio Machado Rezende, minister of Science and Technology.
Temperatures hovered over 40 C (104 F) during the heavily secured event, as press and industry analysts awaited the arrival of the president, the mayor of Porto Alegre, and national ministers of Civil Affairs (Dilma Rousseff) and Science and Technology (Dr. Sergio Machado Rezende, former professor of electrical engineering at University of California, Berkeley). Along with local and national press, international journalists and semiconductor analysts attended the event with representatives from Nikkei Economic Daily, Global Semiconductor Alliance, EE Times, Webcom Communication, Advantage Business Media, and SEMI World Fab Forecast.
Eduard Weichselbaumer, CEO and president of CEITEC, pointed out that the electronic industry comprises about 12 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) for OECD countries, while it represents only 1.9 percent Brazil's GDP. This 1.9 percent is generated mostly by semiconductor assembly plants, which receive tax incentives from Brazil's government. President Lula described Brazil's vision to become a competitive, independent semiconductor industry hub by its bicentennial in 2022. The message at the event was clear: Brazil is proud to have come so far. Although they welcome help from abroad, they strive for a more independent and competitive electronic industry.
President Lula shakes hand with Eduard Weichselbaumer.
Original model of CEITEC shows front building with office and design center to the right and auditorium to the left. Front-End fab is behind.
Unlike the well-known and densely populated industrial city Sao Paolo, Porto Alegre had space available for the facility. As a Brazilian hub of agriculture and industry, it is also home to nine major universities and many others. Porto Alegre's over 4 million residents boast the highest level of education of any Brazilian capital city. Brazil's government has invested about 450M-500M Reais (about US$ 250M) in the CEITEC front-end fab project. This is a huge increase from the early days of the project. Weichselbaumer related the history of the choice of Porto Alegre for this capital intensive project.
In 2002, an entire school was relocated to create space for a new semiconductor building. In 2003, a small center to make prototypes and designs run by the Ministry of Science and Technology began with an investment of 7M Reais.
Then in 2003, the government decided to manufacture a small number of chips, so a fab was needed. The fab design was done by Meisner Wurst Zander, and construction began back in 2005 with 6-inch equipment donated by Motorola. The still government-owned company, CEITEC SA (Centro de Excelencia em Tecnologia Eletronica Avancada), was incorporated in August 2008. Progress was very slow, and the dream of a Brazilian fab seemed destined to fade. This all changed when Eduard Weichselbaumer was hired at the end of 2008 and appointed as CEO on Feb 19, 2009. The Design Center adjacent to the fab opened in March 2009, and now the front-end fab is open for business.

Press and analysts did not have the opportunity to enter the cleanroom, just to peer at it from the gray room and to view support areas. The fab has a cleanroom size of about 1000m² with a maximum design capacity of about 55,000 wafers per year. The plan is to ramp up in modular phases, where about 800m² are already equipped with 6-inch equipment and space is still remains for additional equipment.
CEITEC plans to produce 50 million chips this year and hopes to double its output to 100 million chips by next year. As previously reported in mid-2009, CEITEC has no current plans to upgrade to 8-inch equipment, but will qualify and stabilize its process and resources on 6-inch equipment first. Backend and assembly will be done by a Brazilian/Korean joint venture, HT Micro, also located in Porto Alegre.
At the opening ceremony, Weichselbaumer reflected upon the hurdles he faced in 2009. Although equipment donated by Motorola a long time ago was a trigger point, it had become outdated and needed to be refurbished and replaced. Certain materials and chemicals required to operate the equipment and run processes had never existed in Brazil before, thus requiring development of new import and supply systems. Also, although Brazil has excellent universities, the workforce did not have the necessary experience in chip design; therefore, trainers, designers and other skilled personnel from abroad had to be called in.
CEITEC already makes chips through its partnerships with companies such as the U.S.'s Cadence and the German foundry X-Fab. CEITEC now plans to begin risk production of its flagship product, nicknamed the "Ox-Chip" (also called "Chip Do Bois" or "chip for beef" in Portuguese), in the second half of 2010, starting with its 0.6 micron process and then gradually upgrading to 0.35 micron.
The Ox-Chip is a small RFID tag embedded in a yellow round plastic material which will be clipped on the ear of a cow. Brazil alone has about 200 million head of cattle; turnover in this market means that chips will need to be replaced about every four years.
Another RFID application is for passports and drivers licenses. CEITEC is also providing products to support applications for wireless communication and digital media. For example, Brazil (along with Chile, Argentina, Venezuela and Peru) recently decided to adapt the Japanese digital TV modulator (based on Japanese ISDB-T) to support Brazil's SBTVD standard. The first TV stations started to broadcast digital programs in February 2009 and by end of 2012 all stations will be digital. CEITEC already developed the chip for modulation and is working on the chip for demodulation. This chip will not be produced in Porto Alegre but at a foundry partner.
At its incorporation in August 2008, CEITEC had just nine employees. During the first half of 2009, CEITEC was one of the few semiconductor companies worldwide actively hiring, during a time when many companies were laying off staff, and ended 2009 with 120 staff including 80 design engineers. By March 2010, just one quarter later, the optimistic hiring goal is to reach 250 employees.
Weichselbaumer describes CEITEC's initial "fab-lite" strategy: development, then design, then manufacturing. The company will focus on getting people trained, then establishing infrastructure, and demonstrating that semiconductor manufacturing can be done in Brazil. He sees the fab at full capacity in 2 to 3 years. President Lula's vision is that CEITEC's success (with capital-intensive support by the government) will attract other electronic companies to Brazil.
CEITEC raises its flag, the lone fab south of the Rio Grande. Although it begins as a small 6-inch fab with relatively low monthly capacities, it may be the seed of a growing Brazilian electronics and semiconductor industry.
The Industry Research & Statistics department of SEMI is closely following progress of both the fab and the Brazilian semiconductor industry, with data reflected in the Fab Database reports such as World Fab Forecast and World Fab Watch.
SEMI World Fab Forecast report provides high-level summaries and graphs; in-depth analysis of capital expenditure, capacity, technology and products, down to the detail of each fab; and forecasts for the next 18 months by quarter. These tools are invaluable for understanding how 2010 and 2011 will look, and learning more about capex for construction projects, fab equipping, technology level and products.
Please visit www.semi.org/fabs for additional information on World Fab Forecast reports.
Note: On Wednesday May 12th, Sergio Rezende, Brazil's minister of science and technology, and Eduard R. Weichselbaumer, CEO of Brazilian chip-making CEITEC S.A, www.ceitec-sa.com, will be in San Jose to meet with select business executives to discuss the limitless possibilities of the next emerging technology market: Brazil, the gateway to South America.

As federal leaders begin a national discussion about more regulation of guns, elected officials in one small Utah town plan to recommend that every resident own a firearm and learn how to use it.
Spring City Councilman Neil Sorensen said most residents of the Sanpete County town of just under 1,000 residents have expressed support for his proposed resolution, which he said protects their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The council is drafting a copy of the resolution, which it plans to present Feb. 7 and pass three weeks later, if all goes well, said Sorensen.
Even if the resolution passes, Spring City wouldn't be the first to embrace the concept of weapons for every citizen. The small Washington County town of Virgin has had a similar ordinance in place since 2000. Virgin requires residents to own a gun and ammunition, although the ordinance is not enforced, said resident Lenny Brinkerhoff on Tuesday. Brinkerhoff proposed the ordinance while serving on the town council in 2000.
"There's no penalty if you don't want to have a gun," she said. "It's more of a statement we decided to do because of a number of factors protecting the Second Amendment in [people's] homes."
More than a dozen years later, Brinkerhoff has no regrets about the ordinance and said residents have been largely supportive. There are built-in exemptions for people restricted by law from owning a gun or those who simply object to owning one.
With 3 million people passing through the town each year, Brinkerhoff said she believes the gun-owning ordinance has helped deter crime.
Sorensen said his resolution was inspired by the shooting at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School, which killed more than two dozen people, and President Barack Obama's stated intention to press for more gun regulations.
"I think we need to step up and support the Second Amendment," he said. "Out of the 60 or 70 comments I have received [about our resolution], all but two were very positive."
He said there's been so much interest in the proposed resolution, the city will offer a concealed weapons course on Friday at 6 p.m. at Spring City Hall. The cost is $50, but the city council has authorized funding for teachers and administrators at Spring City Elementary who want to attend.
Sorensen said most residents of the community already own guns, but he's aiming to certify teachers in his community so they can take guns to school to prevent another Sandy Hook-like tragedy.
"If we can just get education behind it, I just feel like we'd be better [off]," he said.
"That's the only way I can see that they can lessen the effect at Sandy Hook Elementary School."
It wasn't clear if North Sanpete School District would support the idea of teachers bringing guns to work, although Utah law allows any concealed weapon permit holder to bring a gun on any school campus. The district did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
Sanpete County Sheriff Brian Nielson said he supports the legal possession of guns and protecting the right to do so, but has concerns with a government entity actually recommending that people own guns.
"I think that their intent really is to support the Second Amendment, and I totally support them in that," Nielson said. "[But] we shouldn't be encouraging those who are felons or mentally unstable to have firearms," he said.

Course Descriptions
Lower Division
001 Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology
The course examines the nature of culture and the diversity of societies worldwide. It focuses on cultures in Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Americas, and introduces the beginning student to some of the main topics of anthropology including kinship, gender, the world system, fieldwork, magic and religion, race and ethnicity, social change and the political system of societies throughout the world. This course satisfies the Social, Historical and Cultural Understanding, Global Perspectives, and the Common Good requirements of the Core Curriculum.
005 Introduction to Archaeology
Students are introduced to the ancient cultures of the world that existed before written records (i.e., prehistory). Cultures from every world area are studied, including the Aztec Empire, Mycenaean Greece, Mesopotamia, the Celts, and the Inca Empire. Additionally, students gain an understanding of the methods and theories of contemporary archaeology through lecture, discussion and hands-on activities. Students are encouraged to enroll in Anth 011, but it is NOT required. This course satisfies the Social, Historical and Cultural Understanding and the Global Perspectives requirements of the Core Curriculum.
011 Introduction to Archaeological Methods (.25)
This .25 credit activities course will give students the opportunity to learn some basic archaeological field and lab methods.
Upper Division
100 Principles of Anthropology
This course provides majors with an introduction to the methods and theories of traditional American anthropology. It is an important transition course for majors who have completed their Lower-division requirements and are preparing for their theory and methods courses. The course will focus on research and writing as well as providing students with a basic history of the development of American anthropology. Students will become familiar with some of the major debates in the discipline. Students are strongly advised to take this course during their sophomore year. This course is limited to majors and minors. This course satisfies the Writing in the Disciplines requirement of the Core Curriculum.
105 Linguistic Anthropology
This course introduces students to the major areas of study in anthropological linguistics including ethnolinguistics, historical linguistics, descriptive linguistics and sociolinguistics.
111 Kinship, Marriage and Family
For more than a century anthropological research has focused on households, kinship relations, childhood and families across cultures and through time. The anthropological record shows us that concepts such as "marriage," "childhood" and "family" have been understood in radically different ways, and this course provides students with a historical and theoretical perspective on the anthropological study of kinship as it relates to different issues connected to the state of marriage, family and childhood throughout the world. May be repeated for credit as content varies.
112 Global Perspectives on Race
This course examines the theoretical underpinnings of "race" and "ethnicity" as culturally constructed models. Ethnographic case studies from a variety of international geopolitical regions, including the United States, supplement lectures on such topics as scientific racism and eugenics.
114 Urban Anthropology
By 2030, two out of three people will live in an urban world, with most of the explosive growth occurring in developing countries. Taking the city as a subject of investigation, students explore the historical conditions that brought about cities and the subsequent developments that have given us megacities. The course explores how the city functions as a site to negotiate cultural diversity and utopian ideals. Drawing from ethnographic cases throughout the developed and developing world, the course examines the complex structural and cultural forces that shape the lives of those who dwell in cities, and how urban culture is produced and reproduced under the influences of industrialization, colonialism and globalization.
115 Anthropology of Digital Cultures
Facebook. Instagram. World of Warcraft. This course focuses on understanding digital cultures through the lens of contemporary anthropology. Students will become proficient with digital cultures and environments through both theoretical investigation and ethnographic immersion into virtual worlds, cyber-culture, online gaming and other forms of digitally mediated social networks. Students will engage in fieldwork that examines emerging virtual worlds, migratory practices, and developing markets. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the necessary analytical tools, based on anthropological theory and methodology, to explore, describe, and define digital cultures and virtual communities.
117 Anthropology of Religion
This course examines religious beliefs and spirituality in global cultures. It examines Western and non-Western beliefs, including spirituality, beliefs in the supernatural, religious specialists, rituals, healing, and the intersection of faith and socio-political forces in contemporary life.
118 Culture, Health, and Healing
Medical anthropology explores the interaction between health, culture and disease, emphasizing the importance of understanding issues of health and sickness cross-culturally. Medical anthropologists also look at the roles of health care professionals, patients and medical settings addressing the relationships between health care systems and political and economic systems.
119 Cultures of the Americas
This course examines the traditional lifeways and contemporary social issues of different North, Central and South American ethnic groups. While addressing the past, the emphasis is on the contemporary period, with the course focusing on the social, cultural and historical experiences of different ethnic groups. Among the topics covered are assimilation and resistance, the social and political power structure, ethnic identity, family systems and cultural values, labor and migration, the role of religion, and status of women. May be repeated for credit as content varies.
120 Visual Anthropology
Film and photography are powerful media for the representation (or misrepresentation) of social and natural worlds. Because we live in an image-saturated society, this course aims to help students develop a critical awareness of how visual images affect us, and how they can be used and misused. The course examines photographic and cinematic representations of human lives with special emphasis on the documentary use of film and photography in anthropology. The course has historical, theoretical, ethical, and hands-on components, and students will learn to use photos, PowerPoint and video to produce a coherent and effective presentation.
121 World Cultures
Each World Culture course concentrates on the cultural, historical, political, religious and geographic factors that shape the lives of people living today in a particular region or country, for example, Central and South America, the Middle East, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, Mesoamerica, Western Europe, India, China, Polynesia, the Philippines, etc. May be repeated for credit as content varies.
124 Museum Studies
Museum Studies is offered in cooperation with Saint Mary's College Museum of Art, and as part of the Archaeology/Art and Art History split major. In this course students study the history of museums and the ethical issues involved in the collecting and exhibiting of cultural artifacts. The course gives students hands-on experience researching artifacts for inclusion in an exhibition, designing an exhibition at the Museum of Art, and designing and writing the explanatory wall text, posters and brochures for a show. Students also learn to serve as docents and to convey information about museum exhibitions to different audiences. Offered occasionally when an exhibition appropriate for student involvement is scheduled at the Saint Mary's College Museum of Art.
125 Gender and Culture
While sex is biological, gender refers to the set of cultural expectations assigned to males and females. This course takes a four-field anthropological approach to understanding gender, investigating such topics as third and fourth gender diversity, gender among non-human primates, gender roles in prehistory and the sociolinguistics of gender usage. Special attention is paid the to the ways in which gender articulates with other social practices and institutions such as class, kinship, religion and subsistence practices.
126 Field Experience
Guided by an anthropology professor of the student's choice, this course provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience conducting anthropological or archaeological analysis in the field. Among other sites, students can select supervised work in archaeological digs, community agencies, government bureaus, museums, and political or industrial organizations.
127 Topics in Archaeology
This course introduces students to a major area of contemporary archaeological thought. Possible topics include cultural resource management, mortuary archaeology, the archaeology of culture contact, gender archaeology, historical archaeology, material culture and ethnicity, an in-depth study of the archaeology of a particular time period (e.g., the Neolithic), and archaeological methods. Successful completion of Anth 005 is recommended, but NOT required. May be repeated for credit as content varies.
128 Food and Culture
Food touches every aspect of life. It can be a symbol of love, sex, community, and national, ethnic, and gender identity. The cultural complexities behind the symbolic meaning of "food" in a cross-cultural context are vast. Furthermore, the political and economic ramifications of consumption, as well as the production and distribution of food, is fraught with significance about what it means to be a responsible human being in an increasingly global world. This course exposes students to the myriad roles that food plays in all cultures, while critically engaging our own cultural attitudes and assumptions about food.
129 Ancient Civilizations
Ninety-nine percent of human cultural development took place before the advent of written records, and therefore archaeology is the primary source of knowledge of these cultures. This course focuses on the practices of prehistoric people, such as how they made stone tools, decorated cave walls, organized their villages, domesticated plants and built monuments like Stonehenge. Special attention is given to topics such as gender, kinship, religion and art. Students also learn how cross-cultural comparisons of ancient civilizations have led to insights regarding the emergence of cultural complexity, city life, social classes and other modern social phenomena. Successful completion of Anth 005 is recommended, but NOT required.
130 Anthropological Theory
This course is Part I of the capstone course sequence for anthropology majors. Through close reading and in-depth discussion of primary theoretical texts, students gain an understanding of the history of American anthropological theory from the 19th century to the present. Students must be in their senior year or receive permission of instructor to enroll.
131 Cultural Geography
Cultural geography studies the way people shape and give meaning to their environment, and allows us to look at the fascinating variety of human activity in the world — the human landscape. Geographic knowledge is vital to understanding national and international issues that dominate daily news reports. This course examines the relevance of geographic methods and concepts to such social science topics as agricultural patterns and practices, ethnic traditions and conflicts, gender, health, migration, political economy, poverty, religion, resource utilization, social change and urban planning.
132 Anthropological Research Methods
This course is Part II of the capstone course sequence for anthropology majors. Students master specific qualitative and quantitative methodologies that are utilized in the completion of an original research project. Students must be in their senior year or receive permission of instructor to enroll.
134 Issues in Globalization
Globalization, which can be characterized as the increased speed and frequency by which commodities, people, ideologies, cultural productions and capital cross national borders, has reorganized the world in fundamental ways not seen since the Industrial Revolution. This class examines the numerous issues and problems that stem from globalization, including transnational migration, food policy and gender relations. Through reading ethnographies about different world regions, students will explore the changing shape of local cultures in relation to larger processes of globalization, and analyze such issues as cultural imperialism, cultural homogenization and resistance. May be repeated for credit as the content varies.
135 Special Topics
Special topics in anthropology include such issues as criminology, sexuality, international terrorism and popular culture. May be repeated for credit as content varies.
136 Applied Anthropology
Anthropologists increasingly are employed in a variety of jobs outside of academia. Applied anthropology involves the practical application of anthropological theory and methods to such areas as business, the environment, medicine, education, social and economic development, and the preservation of cultural heritage. This course introduces students to the methods, theories and roles anthropologists have in the workplace, including issues of ethics, analysis and report writing, enabling students to use their anthropological training in their post-baccalaureate careers.
195 Special Study Internship
This course is usually taken by upper-division students who wish to complete their education with related work experience and is maintaining at least a C average. In addition to work experience (6 – 8 hours per week), outside research and a term project are usually required. Sponsorship by an anthropology faculty member and approval of the department chair is required.
196 Senior Thesis
Honor students undertake individual research, culminating in the senior project and a presentation. This course should be taken in the senior year.
199 Special Study: Honors
This course is only available to upper-division majors with a B average or higher and entails independent study or research under the supervision of an anthropology faculty member. Approval of the department chair is required.

Couched Cover
by Susan Beck
Embellish a journal cover with couched fibers to stitch a custom creation.
* Felt & coordinating fabric (amount determined by journal measurements)
* Fusible interfacing & paper-backed fusible web (amount determined by journal measurements)
* Journal
* Assorted cording, ribbons & yarns
* 1 yard each of 1/4"- and 1/8"-wide ribbon
* Thread: matching all-purpose & monofilament
* Temporary spray adhesive
* Removable fabric marker
* 1"- to 2"-wide decorative button
* Coated elastic hair tie
* Beads or other embellishments (optional)
* Hand sewing needle
Open the journal and place it on a flat work surface with the pages facing down. Measure the width, and then add 7" to the measurement; record. Measure the height, and then add 2" to the measurement; record. Measure the spine width, and then add 4" to the measurement; record. Measure the spine height, and then add 2" to the measurement; record.
From the felt, cut two rectangles according to the recorded with and height measurements. From the 1/4"-wide ribbon, cut two pieces according to the journal height.
From the interfacing, cut a rectangle according to the recorded width and height measurements. Designate one felt rectangle as the outer cover. Fuse the interfacing to the outer cover, following the manufacturer's instructions.
From the fabric, cut a rectangle according to the spine width and height measurements. Fold the fabric rectangle in half widthwise; mark the foldline, using a removable fabric marker. This is the spine center. Following the manufacturer's instructions, secure the fusible web to the fabric rectangle; don't remove the paper backing.
Wrap the outer cover around the journal and mark the front edge, spine center and back edge, using a removable fabric marker. Remove the outer cover from the journal.
Place the outer cover on a flat work surface with the right side facing up. Position the fabric rectangle over the outer cover with the right side facing up, matching the spine center marks. Mark the fabric rectangle long edges on the outer cover.
Remove the fabric rectangle from the outer cover. The area between the front-edge mark and the fabric right-edge mark and the area between the back-edge mark and the fabric left-edge mark are the embellishment areas (A).
Thread the machine with monofilament thread in the needle and all-purpose thread in the bobbin. Couch the desired fibers on the front and back cover using a straight or zigzag stitch, beginning at the fabric upper or lower edges or slightly beyond the embellishment area markings. Note: The featured journal front cover has curved textured yarn twisted with yarn and metallic threads attached with a zigzag stitch. The back cover has free-motion stitched variegated yarn.
Place the outer cover on a flat work surface with the right side facing up. Remove the fusible-web paper backing from the fabric rectangle. Position the fabric right side up over the outer cover right side, matching the spine center marks; fuse, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Thread the machine with all-purpose thread. Center one 1/4"-wide ribbon along the fabric right edge; zigzag stitch along the ribbon center. Repeat to attach the remaining ribbon on the fabric left edge (B).
Position the outer cover over the inner cover with wrong sides together, using temporary spray adhesive to secure. Wrap the cover around the journal, making sure the cover extends 1/2" beyond the upper and lower journal edges; trim any excess fabric.
Remove the cover from the journal, and then zigzag stitch the short edges. Center the hair tie 3/4" from the outer-cover left edge mark; zigzag stitch 3/4" using a stitch wide enough to encase the tie. Fold the 1/8"-wide ribbon in half widthwise and place the raw ends on the inner-cover upper spine edge center mark; pin.
Fold along the front-edge mark toward the inner-cover wrong side; pin. Repeat to fold the back edge. Place the cover on the journal and check the fit, making any necessary adjustments. Remove the cover from the journal and edgestitch the upper and lower edges.
Center the button on the front cover 3/4" from the front right-edge mark; stitch. Handstitch beads or other embellishments to the journal cover as desired.

One way to remember the multiplication table of the octonions is to use the following diagram (which I got from John Baez's online paper): if $(e_i,e_j,e_k)$ is one of the lines listed according to the cyclic order indicated in the diagram, then $e_ie_j=e_k$ and $e_je_i=-e_k$ in $\mathbb O$.
If we forget the cyclic orientation of the lines, this is of course a well-known depiction of the Fano plane $P^2(\mathbb F_2)$, which is an example of many different structures: it is a Steiner triple system, a quasigroup, &c.
What kind of object is this oriented Fano plane?
NB1: Naive googling informs of the concept of Mendelsohn triple systems and of transitive triple systems, both of which are enrichments of the notion of Steiner triple systems with orderings on the blocks. The oriented Fano plane above is not an example of these concepts, though.
NB2: One way to reconstruct the orientation is as follows: it is (up to projective linear automorphisms) the unique way to cyclically orient the lines in the plane in such a way that for each point $x$, the set of three points which follow $x$ in the three lines that go through it is itself a line. In fact, it is the only Steiner triple system which can be oriented with this property.

Almond paste. What's so great about it that I need to have a recipe for it on my site? With almond paste you can make the best almond cake I've ever eaten. That's what.
Not to be confused with marzipan, almond paste is a basic mixture of ground almonds, powdered sugar, egg white or glucose syrup and optionally a few drops of good quality almond extract. It takes about five minutes to make and is easier to make than toast. (I have a tricky toaster, it likes to undertoast, then burn on the second round, and no, changing the heat setting doesn't help. I just need a new toaster.)
If you're in the States and you're reading this, you're probably wondering why I'd need a recipe for almond paste 'cause I could just buy it in a can. You can buy it, I can't. I have yet to find almond paste anywhere in Ireland, and as far as I know, it's not even readily available in the UK, SA or a good portion of Europe. I could order it online, but honestly, it's so easy to make I'll save the expense and time of waiting for it to arrive, 'cause by the time it was delivered, I'd already be eating the last slice of that gorgeous almond cake that I made with my homemade almond paste.
I think I need to say this again, almond paste (pâte d'amandes) and marzipan are not the same. Almond paste is made of equal amounts of ground almonds and sugar, whereas marzipan has far more sugar. Almond paste is bound together with egg white or glucose syrup, but the ingredients for marzipan are cooked together to make the mouldable paste.
Marzipan is far sweeter, more pliable and used for covering cakes or making confectionaries, but almond paste is also used as an ingredient. So if you're think of trying out the almond cake linked here (and you'd better!) then, no, you can't substitute marzipan.
Now, about that almond cake. I'm not joking when I say that it rivals my love for carrot cake. And I LOVE carrot cake.
It's dense, moist, soooo buttery, not too sweet, perfect for a snack with a cup of coffee or served as a dessert after a good meal. It needs no frosting, just a light dusting of powdered sugar and maybe some fresh berries as garnish. My husband is in love with this cake too.
I could go on and on and on about how good it is, but until you try it I don't think you'll fully understand. So do yourself a favour, get yourself over to David Lebovitz's site, and make yourself this cake NOW! (Or at least this week). If you love almonds and everything buttery, it really is an incredible cake. Nothing complicated about the flavours, it's even really easy to mix together and bake! Nothing about this cake is difficult, especially the eating part. Unless you're eating your 4th slice in a row. But I won't judge you ;)
This recipe for almond paste will take you one step closer to almond cake.
Mmmmm... Almond cake.
Yes, I love it that much.
Oh, last note. I have yet to try commercially bought almond paste, but I believe that this homemade version will probably have a slightly rougher texture due to the fact that it's not been made by industrial machinery, regardless, there's nothing unpleasant about the slightly rougher texture in the almond cake. I dare say you wouldn't even notice the difference, but when I do get my hands on the bought stuff, I'll be able to do a proper comparison.
225g Ground Almonds
225g Powdered/Icing Sugar
1 Egg White
2ml Almond Extract
- Combine ground almonds and icing sugar in a food processor
- Pulse a few times to mix
- With the processor on, slowly pour in the egg white and almond extract
- When the paste starts pulling away from the sides and forms a ball, turn out onto a counter
- Knead lightly to bring it all together
- Roll into a log and portion as you need it
Almond paste recipe adapted from Food.com
Amazing almond cake recipe available on David Lebovitz's site
Other Tips:
If you can't buy already ground almonds, then you can grind your own blanched almonds in a food processor or coffee grinder.
If you don't have a food processor, you could also do this in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.
It can be stored in the fridge wrapped tightly in plasic wrap for up to one week. (If using glucose syrup it could probably last several months in the fridge)
The amount of paste this makes is enough for 2 almond cake recipes, so if you'd prefer to only make enough for 1 cake recipe, weigh the egg white and then divide it in 2 by weight, spooning half of it into another container.
Avoid using cheap almond "essence". Almond extract is pure almond oil and not only does it have a far superior flavour, it also doesn't have any added chemicals. A drop of almond extract goes a long way, so it's worth paying for a really good quality one.
Almond paste can be used to make confectionaries, try adding different flavoured oils or extracts like peppermint, rose or orange. Also cocoa or matcha tea.

Liberty News
Liberty purchases Campus East property
Liberty University has purchased 19 residence halls, a clubhouse and gym on Campus East for $20.5 million.
Liberty originally sold the 26-acre tract to Bostic Development in 2003, with a contract to build residence halls and lease the units to the university. The term of the lease was 40 years but LU had the option to purchase the property after five. According to Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., at the time Bostic was one of the largest developers of residential properties for colleges nationwide.
The Campus East Phase 1 purchase will save the university more than $2.5 million per year in lease payments, Falwell said.
Charles Spence, LU's director of planning and construction, said owning the property made sense, with the tract surrounded by property already owned by Liberty. There are 30 buildings on Campus East; Liberty already owned 11, built in 2005 and 2006.
"We really needed that property to make our property continuous," he said.
It will also make it easier for Liberty to plan for future development of residence halls on and near that property and to allow for needed upgrades to the existing buildings.
"We can really afford to spend money enhancing the buildings now that we own the facilities; we can modify the buildings with tighter security controls and better energy management upgrades," Spence said.
Falwell recalled the moment Liberty began negotiations with Bostic:
"Dad and I were watching one of my boys play little league football one afternoon in 2002. The year before, Dad had begun to focus all of his attention on expanding enrollment at Liberty. He commented to me that the growth was exceeding his expectations and that there were simply not enough dorms on campus to house all the new students. Bostic Development had been negotiating with Liberty to purchase land to build apartments to rent to the public so I called Bostic officials on my cell phone from the football game. They were immediately excited about the opportunity to work with LU."
Negotiations were completed within a month or two and the project was soon under construction, he said. Bostic provided not only the construction but also the financing for the student housing by leasing the buildings back to LU.
"Our options for financing were limited in those days so I am not sure LU could have expanded without this special lease arrangement," Falwell said. "The first time I ever addressed the LU student body was to announce the plans for the new apartments in convocation in 2003."
Eventually, Bostic encountered financial difficulties after the apartments were built because of cost overruns, but Falwell said the university "appreciates the fact that Bostic honored all of its contractual obligations to LU even though the arrangement was not nearly as profitable for Bostic as it had hoped it would be."
Liberty closed on the property on Monday, June 29.

Our Philosophy
learn the montessori way
The Montessori philosophy of education is based upon the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator. With the trained eye of a medical doctor and scientist and with the heart of an individual wanting to help humanity, Dr. Montessori observed children over a long period of time. Dr. Maria Montessori determined that children need:
Respect for themselves, others
& the environment
Increasing independence
Participation in their own culture
Gradual exposure to wider environments
Opportunities to make decisions & solve problems
Intellectual growth through the availability
of beautiful, ordered & purposeful materials
Based on her findings, carefully prepared environments for children have been created. These environments are orderly and precise, and have been designed to appeal to the child and encourage learning without being over-stimulating. Everything is designed to facilitate the child's independence and development. Trained adults known as teachers or guides provide the link between the children and the environment and between the school and the parents.
Montessori is based on self-direction, non-competitive and cooperative activities that help a child develop a strong self-image, high levels of academic and social competence, and the confidence to face challenges with optimism. Encouraged to make decisions from an early age, Montessori educated children are problem-solvers who can make appropriate choices, manage their time, and work well with others. They exchange ideas and discuss work freely. These positive communication skills build the foundation for negotiating new settings.

Schroders Quickview: China growth slows as stimulus effects fade
Chinese GDP came in below market expectations, but in line with our forecast, at 6.8% year on year in the final quarter of 2015. This brings 2015 growth to 6.9%, in line with the official target of "around 7% growth", but highlights the challenges faced by the authorities in propping up growth.
Stockmarket slowdown sees services suffer
The breakdown of the data is so far limited, but the slight slowdown compared to the third quarter's 6.9% growth looks to have been driven by the services sector, with tertiary industry growth slowing from 8.4% to 8.3% in real terms.
We believe, and official comments suggest, that this is likely to be the financial sector beginning to slow as the stockmarket cools and base effects begin to weigh on what has been a very growth supportive area of the economy.
A stronger negative base effect will see this drag increase in the first half of 2016.
Higher frequency data in December, exports aside, was weaker than in November.
There will be some distortions due to pollution-related shutdowns, which could account for some of the softer industrial production number, but the weaker investment numbers seem linked to slower funding growth and reflect the challenges faced by the central bank in trying to maintain accommodative monetary policy whilst defending the currency.
More rate cuts immenant?
Intervention to prevent depreciation tightens domestic monetary conditions and so runs counter to the rate cuts implemented in 2015.
We had not expected the effects of stimulus to fade quite so soon, and expect December's weaker data to prompt further rate and reserve ratio cuts in the first quarter of 2016 (of 35 and 100 basis points respectively), particularly if intervention proves successful in stemming capital outflows.
An increase in the fiscal deficit has already been mooted, and an actual number should be provided in March's National People's Congress session.
Central government may find itself needing to provide more support at the local level to boost investment figures given a weaker lending environment.
We expect a further fall in growth in the first quarter, to around 6.5% year on year, as the financial sector base effect begins to exert a larger drag.
To complicate matters, we now enter the period of lunar new year distortions on data, so it will be March before we have a reliable picture of how first quarter activity is progressing.

Regional Transportation Plan unveiled
An open house forum gave residents a look at the draft regional transportation plan being updated by the Merced County Association of Governments.
The plan, the region's primary long-range planning document, will determine what improvements and which projects receive funding priority through 2040. The plan is based on growth patterns in the county, state goals and community input.
"We had a couple public hearings and this is what came out of them," Matt Fell, MCAG's transportation manager, said at Tuesday's two-hour open house in the Los Banos Community Center. "June is the soonest it can be adopted."
The plan consists of the most popular scenario of several presented to the public last year. At that time, Fell asked Merced County residents to choose among projects like road maintenance and construction, expanding bus service and increasing bike and walking paths. He also asked about preferences for cleaner air, less traffic congestion, having less farmland development and encouraging less driving.
The update will help MCAG comply with new state-mandated legislation to reduce greenhouse gases, and includes a plan to accommodate the region's future housing needs.
Major projects - some have funding, others do not – such as the Los Banos Bypass, Merced-Atwater Expressway and a widening of a portion of Highway 99 are included in the plan. MCAG's board of directors, which includes representatives from the six cities in the county and the Board of Supervisors, will decide the fate of the plan.
Joe Cox said he wanted to make sure public transportation for senior citizens was included in the plan.
"We need bus and transportation services for seniors, especially handicapped seniors," Cox said. "The Westside gets the short end of the stick a lot of times."
Cox said he wants to see fairness in the plan. Cox said the Highway 152 bypass, which is planned north of town, from Santa Fe Grade to the west of Volta Road, once was planned south of Los Banos. Cox said he wants to know what MCAG's plan is for the land south of Highway 152.
The regional transportation plan draft does not include any projects south of Highway 152.
Councilman Tom Fairia said the county plan has not been reviewed in two decades, before the county was home to a university.
"I think we need to re-examine the whole picture now that UC Merced is there," Faria said. "UC Merced gives that region a great deal of leverage. UC Merced is going to grow, not only in numbers of students but in the magnetic pull of businesses and houses."
Faria said he wants to make sure the bypass is built as a four-lane highway. He said he knows of two-lane thoroughfares that have an abundance of accidents.
Frank Stambach and his wife, Gerry, said they were concerned that more people didn't attend the open house. The couple has been at several workshops featuring the regional plan and remains unimpressed.
"I don't see there's much of a plan here," Frank Stambach said. "I don't see anything new."
Gerry Stambach said she wants the plan to address truck traffic on local highways. She said she is in favor of the bypass, but does not have a lot of faith that it will be built because officials have been promising it since the 1960s.

Watch: The Way
The Way
Directed by Emilio Estevez (Arc Entertainment, 2011)
If contemplation, as the mystic and spiritual writer William McNamara once said, is "a long, loving look at the real," Emilio Estevez's understated drama of loss, recovery, and reconciliation is a celebration of the ties that make a life worth the journey.
Tom (Martin Sheen) is a California ophthalmologist whose 40-year-old son Daniel (Emilio Estevez) has died suddenly while making an 800-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago to the reputed burial place of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Though he no longer thinks of himself as a religious person, the grieving father decides to complete his deceased son's trek through hundreds of miles of mountainous Spanish countryside.
Along the way the reluctant Tom encounters and is begrudgingly attached to a motley band of other pilgrims. Joost, a chipper and chatty Dutchman, feels like an uninvited party guest who does not know when to leave. Sara, a morose Canadian divorcée, has an acerbic wit that becomes quickly tiresome. And Jack, a garrulous Irish writer without a gift for words, is certainly no Kerouac.
Each of these itinerant gadflies draws Tom out of his grief and back into an encounter with the life he had with his son and the life he will have now. His companionship with this imperfect menagerie of fractured souls provides him with some comfort and consolation in his grief, and offers him a communion of fellow pilgrims on this trek. As God once said of Adam, "It is not good for the creature to be alone." So it must be good (and blessed) to be in the company of two or three others.
The Way is not explicitly religious, but it finds the glory of God seeping through the beauty of the Spanish countryside, discovers the touch of the divine in a shared meal with fellow travelers, and understands life as an ongoing pilgrimage made in the company of fellow sinners.

Investigators say a custody dispute may have been the motive behind the murders of five family members last month in downstate Manchester.
State police say Rick Odell Smith was involved in a custody fight with the mother of his daughter, and thought her family was interfering.
Authorities say Smith went to the family's home and shot a pregnant woman, her grandmother, her boyfriend … and their two small children.
Smith died in a gun battle with police a short time later.
His child and her mother were not home at the time of the shooting.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Group Research
Group research involves presenting an issue or question about a text to a small number of students and allowing them to work together to find information. Students may use the library, the Internet, or a given set of texts to research their subject. After researching, students should compile and synthesize the findings of the group.
Teachers can begin a Group research project by dividing the class into groups of four or five and giving each group a specific area or issue to investigate. (These issues should be different from one another, but all should relate to the text.)
Each group should find primary sources that give them insight into the issue at hand. If there is time, teachers may ask students to interview people who have firsthand knowledge of the subject, or to record sounds and images that detail some aspect of the issue they're investigating.
The groups should then compile their information and create a brief presentation for the class as a whole. The presentations may be textual, or they can be dramatic, involving image, movement, sound, and spoken stories.
The class as a whole should discuss how the information presented changes their understanding of the literary work they're reading.
By allowing students to find answers independently with the aid of their peers, Group research teaches students to be proactive in their education. Instead of listening to information "packaged" by a teacher, students learn to find information and process it for themselves.
Group research also encourages students to rely on each other's experiences and to develop respect for their peers' perspectives. By using the findings of each member to create a group presentation, students learn to build consensus and to synthesize various ideas.

I've been making these little things for years with a potato filling but after a little experimenting I am sold on this celery root filling. Feel free to substitute some or all of the celery root with potato for a more traditional taste.
The puffs can be folded in half as triangles or into cute pointed pillows. Just fold opposite corners together pressing the seams together to seal.
The green curry paste I use is by Thai Kitchen. It's easily found in the international food aisle of most grocery stores.
Green Curry Puffs
1 celery root, peeled and chopped into large pieces
1/4 cup diced carrot (about 1 small)
1/4 cup diced edamame (without shell)
3 teaspoons tamari sauce
2 teaspoons green curry paste
dash fish sauce
about 30 wonton wrappers
oil for frying (vegetable, canola...)
Soy Lime Dipping Sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy
dash sesame oil
red pepper flakes to taste
For Puffs: Boil celery root until very soft and smashable, about 30 minutes. Drain water and smash. Add carrots, edamame, tamari sauce, green curry paste and fish sauce. Stir until evenly combined. Spoon onto curry wrappers and fold in desired way. Use a small brush or finger to swipe edges with water to help tightly seal.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pot to 350 degrees. Fry puffs about 1 minute on each side until crispy and toasty brown. Transfer to towel to drain. Work in batches if needed. Serve warm.
For Dipping Sauce: Stir together soy, lime juice, sesame oil and pepper flakes.
