End of the Appalachian Trail
So how does it feel after walking 2,000 miles on the AT? Watch:
End of the Appalachian Trail on Springer Mountain, Georgia with Lisa Garrett and Francis Tapon from Francis Tapon on Vimeo.
Remembering Summit Fever
On Oct 16, we woke up at 3AM, just like we had 111 days before at the base of Mt. Kathadin. October 16, 2001 would be a memorable day - it would be the day we finished the Appalachian Trail.
We built a fire (something we avoided most of the journey to preserve nature's resources) to celebrate this great day. We set off, still infected with a serious bout of Summit Fever.
Summit Fever afflicts most AT hikers as they near their destination. We first learned about it as we met Northbounders in the 100-mile wilderness in Maine. They would come around the corner with a fire in their eyes and a determination in their stride that just screamed, "Get out of my way, I am about to finish the AT!"
Fortunately, the day before (Oct 15) we met two wonderful human beings: Doug and Evelyn. These day hikers were astounded after hearing our tale of walking 2100 miles. They offered to pick us up at Springer Mountain, take us to their home, and then drop us off by the rapid transit to the Atlanta airport. It was destiny perhaps, but trail magic blessed us the whole way: from the very first hitchhike by Dave in Maine to the first step off the trail.
Everywhere we went we felt like superheroes. Everyone who learned about our journey during those last miles congratulated us to no end. We felt blessed. Families told their children, "Those two people have walked from Maine to get here!" They looked at us with awe and admiration. They took our pictures, and we never felt so wonderful. We were superstars in this little part of the world.
Springer Mountain itself was a cakewalk. The easily graded trail reminded us of Blood Mountain and before we knew it, we turned a corner and there it was: the famous plaque marking the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.
We celebrated as if we had won the lottery! Yet it wasn't luck that got us here, it was a lot of hard work. As George from Pennsylvania put it, "You couldn't have paid me to work that hard." And yet he (and we) did it for free. It was because of all the blood, sweat, and tears that it made standing on top of Springer Mountain so great.
It's hard to say that we conquered the Appalachian Trail. Yes, we were part of the elite 10% who complete the whole trail. Yes, we completed it faster than 99% of those who did walk it. But the AT will never be conquered. It will be there long after we are gone. No, we didn't conquer it, but we did conquer ourselves.
After celebrating on Springer, we met two wonderful women who took our pictures and celebrated with us. They offered to take us back to their lodge and feed us, but we told them that Doug and Evelyn had already invited us! Imagine that, double trail magic!
The ladies drove us down Springer, saving us the 8-mile walk down to Amicolola State Park. Later, Doug and Evelyn picked us up there. They took us to their beautiful home and Evelyn made the most perfect salmon dinner you can imagine. It was marinated in teriyaki sauce for two days and the side dishes were equally extravagant. The dessert was delicious: ice cream with raspberries, toasted almonds, caramel and chocolate. YUMMY!
We eventually returned to San Francisco before Halloween and were swamped immediately. The world had changed: the job market was in the toilet, but the housing market was better than ever for buyers and renters. Then again, it's hard to buy when you're homeless and jobless.
Nevertheless, our friends and family helped us readjust. After a month of job searching, we have come up empty, but we know that January will bring good fortune on us. After all, the spirit of the AT is still with us, and will be always.
Final Thoughts - December 1, 2001
We hiked the Appalachian Trail during an interesting time. Sept 11, 2001 marked a major change to our global society. We felt the shock waves even on the AT, demonstrating how interconnected we have all become; even the AT couldn't shelter us from this world changing event.
Many have asked us when we will hike the PCT and CDT. Someday, but not next summer like we originally thought. A thru-hike is an amazing experience, and should be carefully placed in the river of one's life. They are like high bridges along the river. They are parts where we get off the rapids, and observe the whole river from above.
Because they're such treasured moments, we want to save the PCT and CDT for a time in our lives when we will get the most out of it. In other words, when we hit a point of transition or when we're stuck in a rut. They're great when you're at a point where you're not sure what to do next. It's also a great way to detoxify your mind, clear everything out, and regain perspective. Since we just got a good dose of that, we feel it's best to wait until we do it again.
It's not healthy to do the same thing all the time for 40 years. We all could use a break; and not just a two week vacation, but a two month vacation. The more time off, the better. Many say they can't afford it, but that's rarely the reason. The thru-hike didn't cost that much (less than $5,000 for Lisa and Francis). That's less than most couples spend on a two-week vacation in Greece or a cruise.
You can always come up with excuses as to why you can't do what you've always dreamed. People do this all their lives, and then, near the end of their lives, they are filled with regret. We don't want to suffer this fate, and we hope our journey has inspired all of you to do the same.
We want to give a special thanks to all our sponsors, especially to GoLite and Canon. All our sponsors were incredibly generous, but GoLite and Canon went to extraordinary levels of support. We will get a great chance to thank our sponsors at the two-hour clinics we will give at six REI locations in the Spring; REI expects that over 200 people will attend. Francis's mom, Lucia, also deserves special thanks for handling all the resupplies; she was marvelous.
Francis has so many thoughts and lessons from the journey that he has written a book about it. It's called Hike Your Own Hike: 7 Life Lessons from Backpacking Across America. It is a self-help book that draws seven lessons from the AT and how to apply them in everyday life. It is not a book for just AT hikers, it is a book for all humans.
Also, if you have specific questions or comments about backpacking, discuss it at our WanderLearn forum.
"We also came out here to learn about ourselves. The biggest prize in long-distance hiking is the gift of time. Time to look. Time to think. Time to feel. All those hours you spend with your thoughts. You don't solve all of your problems, but you come to understand and accept yourself."

Juventus' Simone Pepe admits that he would have liked to have been part of the Italy squad at Euro 2012 – but he's happy for Emanuele Giaccherini.
Pepe was not included in the party despite a strong season, while his uncapped teammate Giaccherini was and he made his debut in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Spain.
"Coach Cesare Prandelli makes decisions which he thinks are right and the fact that he has selected Emanuele shows that he had something in mind," the attacker told Sky Sport Italia.
"I'm disappointed that I wasn't taken to the European Championships, but it is nice to know that there is a club mate in my place."
The Roman, 28, scored six Serie A goals in 31 games for the Old Lady as they won the Italian championship this term.
Pepe was part of Italy's squad at the 2010 World Cup, but he has been used just twice by Prandelli since.
The former Udinese man has won 23 caps for his country, with no goals.

After ending his first marriage to be in a committed relationship with the woman he calls his "rib", Kevin Hart made it official by "putting a ring on it" during her birthday celebration.
The comedian has been dating his girlfriend Eniko Parrish for the past 5 years and during her 30th birthday celebration he got down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage in front of their close friends and family.
Kevin announced the the news of their engagement via Instagram with the caption:
She said YEEEEESSSSS…… #Happy #MyRib #iF-ckingLoveHer
Earlier that day he also posted a heartfelt birthday message thanking Eniko aka his "rib" for making him a better man.
Happy Birthday to the most amazing woman in the world. Today is your day babe & we are going to party like it's 1999….I love you so much. I'm a better man because of you. P.S your old as shit now lmao #Dirty30 #HappyBday #ThrowBackPic
Now I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or if Kevin Hart was trying to be shady by announcing his proposal at the same time his ex wife Torrie Hart's new show Atlanta Exes was premiering on VH1.
Things that make you go hummmmm!
Watch the clip of their proposal below:

I'm wearing a leopard shirt and kitten heels…what can I say, the name was appropriate for this post. I'm sooooo thankful for the "cooler" temperatures in Miami. I'm loving being able to dress a little more "fall" friendly and use my long sleeves and jeans. And this hat…I love it. I wore it here already and I know it's a bit of a blogger "no-no" to shoot things multiple times but I feel that a cozy wool hat is the best way to feel like we've got seasons changing here in Miami. Of course, there is a very clear contradiction when you see that I'm wearing open toed sandals, but such is Miami life. It's great to dress for fall while being realistic to our city's tropical climate.
I'm wearing:
Guess leopard sheer top (similar styles here and here)
Zara skinny jeans
Ann Taylor Mylan strappy heels
Bronté Amsterdam "newsboy" cap
TAudrey handmade "@princessmarthad" necklace (c/o): Super cute idea from a local Miami designer. Check out her site for more gorgeous handmade pieces and customize your own necklace today! Use the code PrincessMartha to get a 15% off your order. The necklace can accommodate 10-12 and is priced at $75.00
There's something so chic and fun about wearing an animal print. I like to keep it kind of neutral but think that adding bold colors to animal prints also works really well. And as for my kitten heels, well, I can tell you that I love a strappy heel. Mix in a walkable heel height and I've got myself my new favorite shoes.

Lyle Workman "Clean Slate"
By Matt Blackett
"Doing my own record was incredibly liberating," says super-sideman Lyle Workman. "When I play other people's stuff, which is how I make my living, my goal is to make them happy and give them what they want. It's still me, but it's a small percent as opposed to the 100 percent on my album."
Workman's latest solo outing, the mostly instrumental Tabula Rasa [Infrared] – a Latin phrase meaning "clean slate" – is aptly titled. After years of playing parts to accompany music by Todd Rundgren, Frank Black, or Beck, Workman was able to start with a truly blank canvas for Tabula Rasa.
"Most of the time I'm winging it when I write," he says. "I very rarely have an idea of what I want the song to sound like as I'm composing. For instance, I wrote 'Timbuktu' the day I got an Ovation mandolin. I didn't know how to play it, so I just started messing around, and I happened upon a few things that turned into a song."
Such an innocent approach to writing might seem surprising to those who assume Workman's rich chord progressions, staggering lead chops, and a style that melds elements of rock, progressive fusion, classical, and country are products of intense premeditation. For Workman, however, some degree of naiveté is essential for keeping things fresh. "When I write on piano, I move my fingers around until I find a chord I like," he explains. "I don't approach it from a series of learned voicings. I apply that same philosophy to the guitar. That's why on almost every song on this record, I'm playing chords that I've never played before."
Because many of the arrangements on Tabula Rasa are thick and complex, Workman was careful to choose instruments that would complement each other. To balance the rhythm tracks of "Timbuktu" – which were tracked with a Telecaster through a Matchless DC30 and a Vox AC30 – he used a Roland GR-300 guitar synth. "I still love that GR-300," says Workman. "It tracks amazingly well, and I can always come up with something on it." To produce an ear-catching, unusual tone on "Here Comes the Cavalry," Workman relied on a Finnish kantele. "The kantele has 13 pretuned strings – like a little harp," he explains. "I tuned it differently for every song so I could play melodies on it. I miked it with a Neumann M582 and played it with a pick. It's a great timbre."
Tabula Rasa also features plenty of Workman's lead guitar – an ample feast of pretty melodies, tasty fills, and go-for-broke solos. As with everything else on the record, Workman sees his single-note playing as a wide-open road. "All the solos are off the cuff," he says. "I'll solo over a progression until I hear something I like, and I'll just record over the parts I don't like."
On his previous solo album, 1995's Purple Passages, Workman played nearly all the instruments and programmed all the drum machines. But this time out, he brought in a stellar cast of musicians that included guitarist Mike Keneally, percussionist Luis Conte, drummer Toss Panos, and ex-XTC guitarist Dave Gregory. According to Workman, being the bandleader comes as naturally as being a sideman. "Once I get the basic idea for a tune down, I start to get a clear picture," he offers. "By the time the others come in, I pretty much know what I want – especially from the drums. I'm very specific about beats and fills. But I always bring in musicians whose playing I respect, so most of the time all I have to do is give them suggestions."
Although Tabula Rasa offers listeners an extremely rich musical palette, the hired guns, exotic instruments, and dense arrangements all serve Workman's quest to produce a work that is true to himself. "I made this album to make music that is honest and a part of me," he says. "I think that's what people respond to. I have a small but very appreciative following, and I'll continue making music for them. When someone genuinely likes something you've put your heart and soul into, it's the best feeling in the world."

WASHINGTON - One criticism of the so-called Mainstream Media is that we are not "hip." Or whatever expression the youngsters are using these days. The thinking goes that even though public tastes have been loosened by the anarchy of the Internet and the coarseness of prime-time cable TV, the Mainstream Media remain hopelessly out of it, still bundled and corseted into Victorian sensibilities.
This is nonsense, and I am going to prove it right now. In this column, I will fearlessly describe the latest Internet sensation, which is so edgy - so disgusting and subversive of societal norms - that even the Internet is leery of it.
The only constraint I will be under is that my editor, Tom the Butcher, has insisted that he edit the column as I write it, just to be safe. Tom will be the guy in boldface.
This is about a viral video that in the last month has been furtively viewed by tens of thousands of people. The video depicts two young women engaged in STOP.
There is actually a Greek term for what happens in this video, and it is STOP.
At issue is a certain common bathroom function, which STOP.
En este video, dos mujeres jovenes estan STOP.
You don't even know Spanish!
No, but I know YOU.
Okay, there's this video out on the Web. And the thing about it is that it's so phenomenally repulsive that you can't find it on YouTube, a venue that is not exactly famous for exercising good taste. (I, for example, have personally encountered on YouTube a version of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit sung by Paul Anka. He snaps his fingers to the backbeat, lounge-lizard style.)
But here's the interesting part: Although you cannot find this disgusting video on YouTube, you can find on YouTube dozens and dozens of giggly home videos of people watching the disgusting video for the first time. You don't see the video itself, just people's reactions. These reactions include gagging, retching, covering their eyes with their hands and peeking through steepled fingers, and then gagging and retching, etc.
For illustrative purposes only, I am going to call what these two women are doing in the video STOP.
I was going to say ". . . performing arias from La Boheme."
Oh. OKAY. But I'm watching you very carefully.
So, as these young ladies are singing arias with great enthusiasm, and people who are viewing the video are trying really, really hard not to vomit while enjoying these all-consuming artistic performances STOP.
Trying really, really hard not to ralph, when, ironically STOP.
When the women reissue the aria as STOP.
Nazalost, izgleda da ove dve zene . . .
What the heck is that?
The important thing about this phenomenon is that, acting entirely on their own, thousands of Americans have figured out a way to share the outrageousness of this video without inflicting its grotesque imagery on others.
It is a sort of common courtesy that ought to be more widely practiced in our society, particularly during election season. Wouldn't it be great if, instead of having had to watch Rudy Giuliani accept Pat Robertson's presidential endorsement, we could instead have watched home videos of other people watching it and then racing for the porcelain?
Sporting events, too. Instead of televised golf, you could just find the same tournament on YouTube, presented as a video of people gathered around their TV, asleep. Or instead of having to watch Anderson Cooper, CNN's overemotional talking head, you could just watch videos of people watching Anderson Cooper and playing air violin. And don't get me started on some of those reality shows, which really stink.
Actually, that brings us right back to STOP.

The Open Source Cure for Cancer
Salvatore Iaconesi, CNN Money

(CNN) -- I was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
This was shocking news. Sitting across from a doctor holding a clinical folder with your name on it, and hearing him say the words "low-grade glioma," "language and comprehension areas of your brain," "surgery" and "chemotherapy" is a very weird experience.
My first idea was to seek other opinions. Maybe this hospital is wrong. Maybe there are other places that wouldn't need to do surgery. Maybe there is a laser, a chemical, an ancient tradition, a shaman, a scientist, a nanorobot.

Frank was outfitted with an oxygen mask, flight suit and parachute, and they took off. After they were in the air and climbing Frank asked, "Where are we going?"
The pilot looked at Frank, smiled, and said "Berlin!"
Frank had already made five or six trips to that target with the 381st BG. He knew what kind of a reception to expect and wasn't at all happy about being Shanghaied aboard a Mosquito. However, he merely smiled back at the Canadian pilot and said, "Okay you Crazy SOB, let's go!"
The flight at high altitude was smooth, but as they flew into the Berlin area they noted a contrail coming in behind them and closing at a high rate of speed. Only one answer. It had to be a jet fighter, the famous Me-262. The Canadian pilot put the Mosquito into a 5 degree dive and they maxed out at about 450 MPH. But the jet was still gaining on them.
"What now?" asked Frank.
"Let me know when he is 500 yards in back of us," replied the pilot.
Frank watched intently and when the jet had closed to 500 yards, he sounded off. Immediately, the pilot cut the throttles back and dropped the wheels in one sweeping motion. The Mosquito's props and increased drag braked the aircraft. They slowed down rapidly and the jet went zooming by without firing a shot. Frank was still apprehensive about the jet returning to make another pass. However, the Canadian pilot wasn't concerned at all.
"Don't worry Frank. He's about out of gas. He's heading back to his base now."
Sure enough, the jet headed for home and they finished the mission without further incident.
Frank relates it was quite an experience, but he never went joy riding with those "Crazy Canadians" again.
Frank Palenik flew 62 missions and finished the war as a Captain. He retired from the Air Corps in 1945 and went to work in Forest and Wildlife Management. He died of natural causes in September 1992.

The folding of proteins, the complex behavior of glasses, and the structure and dynamics of atomic and molecular clusters have long been studied in separate disciplines. In recent years, energy landscape theory has emerged as a unifying language for experimentalists and theorists to describe structure formation and dynamics in these complex systems. Researchers in all three disciplines met to exchange ideas at a symposium organized as part of the American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting in San Diego, California, in April.
The energy landscape describes how the energy of a system changes with geometry, as defined by the coordinates of atoms, molecules, or side chains. At a minimum, a small displacement in any direction increases the potential energy, just as in a basin surrounded by mountains, a step in any direction is uphill. Potential energy surfaces of complex systems usually have vast numbers of local minima; the lowest one--the deepest basin--is the global minimum. Energy landscapes for different systems may differ widely. These differences are responsible for the fact that natural proteins and crystals can reliably locate one particular structure from many possible ones, whereas glasses fail to do so.
Levinthal established the classical viewpoint of protein folding by noting that proteins cannot fold by a random search for the native (correctly folded) state because this would take far too long, and must therefore fold via a sequential, energy biased folding pathway. An energy bias favoring the native state allows proteins to fold within a biologically relevant time frame. For proteins with random amino acid sequences, one would expect no such bias and a rough potential energy surface, reflecting the impossibility of incorporating all favorable interactions into the same structure: The system is said to be frustrated. Natural proteins have presumably evolved to enhance this native state bias and to minimize frustration.
Generalizing and replacing the classical view of folding as a single stepwise pathway with a series of intermediates, the energy landscape theory of protein folding (1-3) involves the progressive organization of an ensemble of partially folded structures on a free energy surface that resembles a partially rough funnel (see the first figure). Local free energy minima correspond to transient kinetic traps. The native state lies at the bottom of a set of convergent pathways.
The free energy landscape for protein folding. Folding occurs through the progressive organization of ensembles of structures [shown here for the src-SH3 domain (left)] on a funnel-shaped free energy landscape (right). Conformational entropy loss during folding is compensated by the free energy gained as more native interactions are formed. Kinetics is determined by the local roughness of the landscape, relative to thermal energy. Key interactions in early folding (dashed circle) coincide, for this protein, with experimentally determined regions. CREDIT: C. CLEMENTI AND G. BAMBERG
The key role of the energy surface in determining the properties of glasses was recognized by Goldstein around the time that Anfinsen and Levinthal made seminal contributions to protein science. Substantial progress in calculating thermodynamic properties directly from knowledge of local minima was made in the 1980s (4). This approach has been extended to dynamical properties and applied to a wide variety of atomic and molecular clusters (5, 6). The properties of different types of glasses have also been interpreted in terms of global features of the energy landscape (7). More recently, it has been suggested that glassy liquids are composed of a mosaic of clusters, each of which has its own landscape (8).
The energy landscape for each of these systems--proteins, glasses, and clusters--can be conceptualized as a low-dimensional free energy surface, with two axes depicting the energy-entropy balance associated with competing physical processes and a ruggedness denoting the presence of frustration that leads to specific kinetic behavior (see the first figure).
Potential energy surfaces can be visualized more quantitatively with a "disconnectivity graph" (9). Such graphs are constructed from databases of stationary points on the many-dimensional potential energy surface and the pathways connecting them (see A and B in the second figure). The graphs divide distinct local minima into separate branches that can only interconvert if a threshold energy is exceeded. A "palm-tree" disconnectivity graph corresponds to a free energy landscape with funneling characteristics.
Making sense of potential energy surfaces. The model two-dimensional potential energy surface (A) corresponds to the "palm tree" disconnectivity graph in (B) and the free energy profiles in (C). Two paths linking high energy local minima to the global minimum are superimposed on the surface in (A). In (C), the color of the free energy curve changes from blue to red with increasing temperature. At low temperature, the global free energy minimum and the global potential energy minimum are the same, but at high temperature the system is more likely to be found in higher lying local minima. (D) The multifunnel character of the disconnectivity graph for a small rock salt cluster with 213 degrees of freedom and four competing nanocrystal morphologies. Multiple funnels produce separation of time scales for relaxation, explaining the experimental separation of time scales for relaxation to a nanocrystal of any kind compared with relaxation to the true global minimum.
Direct dynamic calculations based on such graphs have been carried out for peptides and numerous clusters (6). These calculations reach the experimental time scale but have not yet been extended to proteins with more than 20 residues. In the future, such calculations may help to describe the properties of bulk glasses and proteins at the level of detail achieved to date only with smaller systems, such as the alkali halide clusters that are being explored with ion chromatography (10) (see D in the second figure).
For proteins, the potential energy landscape can be connected to a free energy landscape by projecting the energy surface onto one or two important coordinates, such as the number of native contacts and the radius of gyration. Free energy surfaces, like disconnectivity trees, can be used to calculate thermodynamics and kinetics for problems such as protein folding.
Computer simulation is used to provide quantitative predictions for all the systems considered here. The most detailed views of protein folding come from fully atomistic simulation models, which have been used to explore folding free energy surfaces and folding mechanisms (3, 11), protein unfolding and correlation with measured data on the folding transition state (12), and direct folding of small polypeptides (13). Simulations with explicit solvent models have shown how water "lubricates" the search for native interactions (3).
Simulations with simplified representations of proteins have shown how topology and energy interact to yield specific folding scenarios for individual proteins and helped to interpret experimental results pertaining to the folding transition state (1, 14). These models are used to interpret experimental folding kinetics (12) and explore the role of side chain entropy in folding (15, 16). Related analytical models are also being developed for protein design.
Detailed connections between dynamical simulations and the underlying potential energy surface for model glasses have also started to appear (17, 18). These calculations have identified a "landscape-dominated" regime, where the barriers between local minima start to increase and structural relaxation is slowed down with decreasing temperatures (18).
Experimental progress is not lagging behind. Early folding events can now be monitored on nanosecond to microsecond time scales, enabling details of the landscape near the top of the folding funnel to be probed (19, 20). Peptides with well-defined structures have been designed, and are used to determine the formation time for basic folding structures such as a-helices and b-hairpins (21). The response of folding kinetics to mutations has been used to determine the participation of different parts of the protein in the folding transition state ensemble and, for larger proteins, in the intermediate ensembles (12).
The energy landscape approach has also been used to develop new algorithms for global optimization and protein structure prediction (22). The principle that the energy landscape of a protein should be funnel-like and minimally frustrated has been used to design knowledge-based potentials for fold recognition (22-24).
Related to structure-prediction efforts, combinatorial experiments, aided by theoretical tools, are starting to provide new ways to probe the determinants of protein folding and to identify novel folding amino acid sequences (25). Computational and theoretical models that examine the "evolutionary" free energy landscapes of proteins to understand the interrelationships among protein families and the development of drug resistance (26) also exploit folding landscape ideas. Finally, the interplay between folding and aggregation and folding and function (2, 27) can be addressed using this ensemble description.
The meeting in San Diego provided a view of a future in which traditional disciplinary boundaries are dissolved and ideas from many fields are integrated to address key challenges of complex systems in biology, chemistry, and physics. Scientists across these areas of investigation are focusing on how experimental observables are determined by potential and free energy landscapes. For proteins, future work must go beyond folding to understand function and critical issues related to diseases caused by misfolded proteins. For glasses, a detailed understanding of how characteristic properties arise from the underlying potential energy surface is required. More accurate calculations to bridge the time scale gap between experiment and simulation are likely to play a key role in each case.

more bad journalism from NY Times
A shortened post of the Jan. 10 article before the verdict was issued: What I wanted to note was that this issue was portrayed in the NY Times as a sticky diplomatic bone of contention, but doesn't analyze the fact that international protests for the release of the WTO-14 have probably played a part in getting 11 of the 14 released, and the fact that none of the social justice messages were based on nationalist sentiment (nothing about Korea v. China, that sort of ridiculous fantasy).
The only direct quotes are from the WTO public outreach coordinator and the Hong Kong secretary for justice. No quotes from KCTU (the Korean labor union), from HKPA Hong Kong People's Alliance that organized many of the solidarity protests, from the South Korean government, or from the groups (like the ones that stretch from the Bay to LA to NY) that actually organized any of these protests. Complete silence on social movements. Will the NY Times ever get it? Why is the fact that citizens all over the world have common messages and unity around global trade and the righteousness of protest not reflected on? Why is it that it's still about old-fashioned state to state relations?
Especially considering the fact that the South Korean government appealed for the release of the 11 Korean peasants and the labor organizer, but refused to pay bail. In fact, Hong Kong citizens paid for the steep $12,000 bail of the 3 who were charged, and that fact will probably never get a mention, even though it reflects the fact that many citizens were quite moved by the Korean farmers and their protest strategies (and not just 'shocked', as the article talks about).
I also like the repetitiveness of the Hong Kong officials talking about 137 injuries being justification to keep the charges, but if you do the glass is half full/empty thing, only half are police injuries. The other half? That's right, police-inflicted injuries. A fair number of which we saw with our own eyes. So are they going to prosecute police? No. If it was truly about the fact that injury is inflicted upon people, and that being a crime, then the police would also have to go up on trial, but they won't. Because violence ain't 'violence' unless you're on the wrong side of the fence.

Arrests of Trade Protesters Embroil Hong Kong With China and South Korea
By KEITH BRADSHER
HONG KONG, Jan. 9 - The decision to bring charges against 14 people here
after a violent demonstration at the World Trade Organization conference
last month is turning into a contentious and diplomatically sticky issue
for the governments of Hong Kong, China and South Korea.
Labor union federations and social justice groups, mainly from Asia and
Europe, are portraying the 14 as "W.T.O. political prisoners." They held
a small march here on Monday and said they had sent delegations to
deliver letters, and in some cases hold demonstrations, at Chinese
consulates and embassies in New York City and in Bangladesh, Belgium,
Hungary, Thailand and Switzerland.
All but three of the protesters charged after the demonstration are
South Korean, and their case has drawn considerable attention at home,
with three of the country's most famous movie and soap opera stars
issuing a recent appeal for their release. South Koreans are already
resentful about China's tough treatment of refugees from North Korea,
many of whom have been repatriated to face long prison terms and even
The South Korean government has appealed to the Hong Kong government
repeatedly to release the protesters, all of them men. But the Hong Kong
authorities have refused, pointing out that the protest here on the
night of Dec. 17 left 137 people injured, including 67 police officers.
"Hong Kong is a place where the rule of law is strongly upheld," said
Wong Yan-lung, Hong Kong's secretary for justice, after meeting here on
Monday with three opposition lawmakers from South Korea who complained
about the prosecution. "This case is being processed in accordance with
the laws of Hong Kong and our established and announced prosecution

But in that case, using a skos:Concept in the ontology but telling to users "use any URI you want" won't make sens I think. That's better to tell them "use an URI" with an rdf:Resource range imho. Moreover, some tools use domain / range of properties to filter queries (eg: in ontology-based forms). So using a skos:Concept may restrict the URIs to be retrieved. > It *could* lead to a inconsistency if there are some conflicting axioms > but that seems somehow unlikely.

Pay 2018 Order of the Arrow Dues
Service Center Hours:
Council Services, Suite 125:
Monday - Friday -- 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Welcome to the new world of high adventure in the Southeast Louisiana Council. As your new council High Adventure chair I have made it my mission to make sure every Boy Scout, Venturer and adult leader in the council is made aware of the High Adventure opportunities available to them and their units and that everyone knows how to take advantage of them. At this year's program preview conference each Troop and Crew in the council will receive a copy of the upcoming council High Adventure Guidebook. In the meantime this article will give everyone the basics of what is out there.
Council Contingent Rotation
Over the last few years the council contingents offered by SELA have pretty much consisted of trips to Philmont. We understand that backpacking is not a draw for every Boy Scout. To that end SELA will now have a set rotation to visit each of the four national high adventure bases. This will allow individuals to better plan their adventures by knowing what the council will be offering. Also, this will allow a Scout who may be interested in attending ALL of the national bases a way to plan for that opportunity. The rotation is as follows:
2014 – Florida Sea Base (See additional article in this issue for more information on this opportunity)-cancelled due to lack of interest
2015 – Philmont Scout Ranch-cancelled due to lack of interest
2016 – Northern Tier
2017 – The Summit
The rotation will just continue in that same order in the following years. For more information about any of the national High Adventure bases follow this link: http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Home/HighAdventure.aspx
Unit Opportunities
Many people think that the only way someone can attend a national high adventure base is via a council contingent. This could not be farther from the truth! The majority of the treks to the bases are by individual units. The upcoming council high adventure guide will have details on how to take advantage of these opportunities but these links will give you some basic information:
Philmont – http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Philmont/Camping/Registration.aspx
Northern Tier – http://www.ntier.org/TripPlanning.aspx
Sea Base – http://www.bsaseabase.org/Adventures.aspx
The Summit – https://summit.scouting.org/en/Pages/SummitActivities.aspx
Individual Opportunities
In addition to unit programs there are opportunities for individual Scouts and Venturers at some of the national high adventure bases. Again, detailed information will be in the upcoming guidebook but these links are a wealth of information about these programs:
Philmont – http://www.scouting.org/sitecore/content/Philmont/Camping/IndividualPrograms.aspx
Northern Tier – http://www.ntier.org/About/Summer%20Canoe%20Trips/Programs%20for%20Individuals.aspx
Also, in some cases it may be possible for an individual Scout or Venturer to join an existing Crew if they are looking to fill a spot. Information about this can be found on each high adventure base website.
Order of the Arrow Programs
Are you a member of the Order of the Arrow? If so, there are some special opportunities available to you that allow you to experience the programs of Philmont, Northern Tier or Sea Base while providing you with the opportunity to give service to the base. Follow this link for more information on these programs:
Venturing Opportunities
Venturers we haven't forgotten about you! While each council contingent is open to Venturers as well as Boy Scouts the council is also putting together special Venturing-Only contingents. In 2014 we are offering a trip to Northern Tier to participate in the Okpik program. The dates are March 1-5, 2014. Please see the other article elsewhere in this newsletter for more information on this trip. We will be putting together additional Venturing-Only programs soon. Be on the watch for some big announcements!
Adult Opportunities
There are also many opportunities for adult leaders to take training courses in some beautiful settings. The following links give more information about these programs:
Philmont Training Center – http://www.philmontscoutranch.org/PTC.aspx
Philmont Leadership Challenge – http://www.philmontleadershipchallenge.org/
Northern Tier Training Center – http://www.ntier.org/TrainingCenter.aspx
In addition, a number of training opportunities are available at the Florida Sea Base each year. Information about these trainings is generally released toward the end of the year and will be posted on the Council webpage when available.
Local High Adventure Programs
In addition to the national high adventure bases many local councils offer high adventure opportunities. This page provides links to information on these programs: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Applications/highadventuresearch.aspx
Big news on this front though…We now have a local high adventure opportunity right here in Louisiana! The Evangeline Area Council is now operating the Atchafalaya Swamp Base. Click on one the link below for more information on this exciting new program!
In addition to all of the above Jamborees also fall under the umbrella of the council High Adventure committee. The schedule for upcoming national and world jamborees is as follows:
2015 – World Jamboree in Japan
2017 – National Jamboree
2019 – World Jamboree in the United States
All national jamborees as well as the 2019 World Jamboree will be held at The Summit.
Powder Horn
The Powder Horn course is designed to help the troop, team, or crew by exposing older Scouts, Venturers, and adult leaders to safely conducted outdoor/high-adventure activities of a fun and challenging nature. The course provides an introduction to the resources needed to successfully lead youth through a program of outdoor adventure and is based upon giving participants an exposure to some outdoor/high-adventure activities. The course presenters are expert consultants, from inside and outside of Scouting, in each outdoor high adventure activity. It is not a certification event. It is for any youth or adult interested in experiencing a unit-level, high-adventure program. The purpose of a Powder Horn course includes:
We are planning a Powder Horn course for 2014. More information will be coming soon!
High Adventure Committee
I am in the process of putting together a standing council High Adventure committee whose job it will be to plan events for our Scouts and Venturers as well as act as the information sources in each district. While I would like to have at least one representative on the committee from each district all interested Scouters are welcome. If you are interested in representing your district on the committee please contact your district Camping and Outdoor Program Committee chair, or contact me if your district does not have a COPC chair.
In conclusion I hope that these changes to the SELA High Adventure program will help every Scout, Venturer and Scouter take advantage of the opportunities that are out there and challenge themselves in new ways. If you have any questions about any of these programs, or about high adventure in general, please feel free to contact me.

The average price of a house in December was £163,845, said Halifax, with the figure when measured on a quarterly basis up for the first time in seven months amid signs of a firming in housing market towards the end of 2012. Prices rose 0.6pc in the three months from October to December.
There were six monthly rises and six decreases during 2012 as underlying prices remained little changed over the course of last year, the bank added.
"Overall, last year saw an even mix of monthly rises and falls as prices lacked any real direction as both demand and supply pressures remained largely unchanged during 2012," said Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax.
"We expect continuing broad stability in house prices nationally in 2013 with prices likely to end the year at levels close to where they begin," he added.
However, the bank cautioned that the outlook for the economy and house prices remains "more unclear than usual".
"Subdued economic growth, sustained high unemployment and pressures on household finances will constrain housing demand," said Halifax.
"The relatively low level of mortgage payments in relation to income, however, should provide support for house prices."
The Government launched a multibillion-pound scheme at the start of August to boost lending, which has already caused mortgage availability to increase.
Figures from the Bank of England and the British Bankers' Association (BBA) have shown a recent pick-up in mortgage approvals to home buyers and the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has said it expects the housing market to "feel more stable and positive" in 2013.

Jeremy Hobson: The price of oil is right around $92 a barrel in New York trading this morning. That's down from it's recent peak above $100 a barrel, and the drop is mostly due to concerns about a slowdown in the global economy. But as oil prices have see-sawed and brought gasoline prices along with them, Americans haven't flocked to alternative fuels like natural gas in a big way -- at least not as much as billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens expected us to.
After being one of the industry's biggest boosters, he has gotten out of natural gas stocks all together. Joining us now from Dallas is T. Boone Pickens. Good morning.
T. Boone Pickens: Good morning, Jeremy.
Hobson: You recently got out of Chesapeake Energy, a big natural gas producer. Why did you do that?
Pickens: Because natural gas has been a disaster. It'll be great at some point, but today it's trading at $2.37, and that's pretty cheap.
Hobson: People are going to look at that and they'll say, you know, 'He was really hot on natural gas, then he got out of it -- just like he was big on wind, and that didn't turn out to be so good.' What do you think is going wrong here? Why are these alternative fuels not as popular as you think they'll be?
Pickens: Well these fuels, you're not going to move into wind until natural gas gets up $6. OK, so wind's on the shelf. And you've got natural gas, they're moving into fuel about as fast as they can go to it. It's a $1.50, $2 a gallon cheaper than diesel, and you have the trucks switching over to it.
Hobson: But even with oil as high as it is, and gas prices as high as they are, it does seem like Americans are sticking with the good, old-fashioned stuff that they know.
Pickens: Americans now -- I'm talking about truckers and you're talking about you. I mean, your car, you're not going to switch to natural gas until you have an infrastructure that'll accommodate it.
Hobson: Right.
Pickens: Now with truckers, not so. A trucker's not ever going to buy a truck unless he has a place to fuel it, and those are going into Pilot Flying J truck stops -- they're building 100 of them right now. So that's happening very fast.
Hobson: You've been in the business for decades now. Did you --
Pickens: Decades, for sure.
Hobson: Did you think decades ago that in 2012, we would still be addicted to foreign oil the way that we were back in the '70s?
Pickens: Well, no, I didn't think that'd be the case. But we have just sat there because of cheap gasoline over the years. We have no energy plan for the country. It's pitiful; we're using 25 percent of all the oil produced in the world every day.
Hobson: Do you think that Washington is ever going to get an energy policy together that you will think is a good one?
Pickens: Whether we do or we don't, I've had about all this I want to fool with.
Hobson: What do you mean you've had all this you want to fool with?
Pickens: I mean, a Washington deal is a great amount -- so much time is wasted. Very little's accomplished. It is absolutely the saddest place to go and try to get something done.
Hobson: Do you know who you're going to be voting for this year?
Pickens: Oh, I haven't. I'll only say this: I've never voted for Democrat in my life for president.
Hobson: All right.
Pickens: If that'll help you.
Hobson: OK. Billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens, thanks so much for talking with us.
Pickens: OK, thank you.

After Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at the Oscars last year, including a Best Director win for Danny Boyle, the director spent a few months deciding what his next film would be. Eventually it was announced that Boyle would be directing 127 Hours, a film based on the story of Aron Ralston (played by James Franco), the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder for nearly five days.
Fox Searchlight has released the first teaser trailer for the film, which you can watch below.
The script was written by Simon Beaufoy, who won an Oscar for his Slumdog Millionaire screenplay, and Fox Searchlight plan to release 127 Hours in November in the US. The films has also been selected as the closing picture at this year's London film festival.

Nazca Globular Double Spouted Vessel, Warrior Priest
More questions? Get in touch
Nazca Globular Double-Spouted Water Jar, Peru, ca. 400 CE, with a warrior priest wearing elaborate headdress. Two serpents adorn either side with a rank of five trophy heads on reverse. A frieze of chili peppers surround the lower portion of the globular bottom. In excellent condition. Intact and in excellent condition. 9 1/4" high x 8 1/4" wide. Ex: Kate Kemper collection, London, Switzerland. Warriors form were a major category of male representations in Nasca ceramic art. Early warriors are nearly always depicted in a frontal, full-face manner displaying facial painting and holding weapons in their hands. These individuals are more elaborately clothed than farmers, wearing a tunic on the upper portion of the body along with the traditional loin cloth. Headdresses range from slings wound around the head in turban-like fashion seen on modeled vessels to more standardized caps portrayed on the painted types. Weapons include clubs, spears and atl atl's, bolas and slings. By Phase 5 warriors painted in profile become the dominant type. These figures exhibit many of the same characteristics as earlier warriors with several exceptions. Military paraphernalia becomes more and more elaborate through time. Feather staffs and elaborate clothing mark the later phases.

Beto Chair Lecture To Focus On Corporate Crime
John Braithwaite, a professor in the law program at Australian National University, will discuss "Corporate Crime in the Pharmaceutical Industry Today" as part of the College of Criminal Justice's Beto Chair Lecture series on Thursday (April 7).
The presentation will be from 9:30-11 a.m. in the Criminal Justice Center's auditorium.
Braithwaite, an Australian Research Council Federation Fellow and founder of Regulatory Institutions Network at ANU, is best known for his research on responsive regulation and restorative justice both in criminal and business crime.
As a major force in the restorative justice movement, his 1989 book "Crime, Shame and Reintegration," argued that criminal justice practices tend to stigmatize offenders, while restorative justice, through mediation with offenders and citizens, helps repair the social harm caused by crime.
He also applied restorative justice principals to the business community and developed responsive regulations in such industries as mining, health care and nursing homes.
His 1984 "Corporate Crime in the Pharmaceutical Industry," an exposé revealing illegal practices in the pharmaceutical industry—including bribery, false advertising, fraud in the safety testing of drugs, unsafe manufacturing processes, smuggling and international law evasion—was based on interviews with 131 senior executives in the industry in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico and Guatemala.
As a result of his studies, Braithwaite founded RegNet, which is comprised of scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds who work in the field of regulation and governance.
RegNet's aim is to challenge and advance understanding of and approaches to issues through a regulatory framework that develops evidence-based theory, policy and practice.
Among the areas of study are human security, policing, environment, cyber crime, illicit organizations and markets, intellectual property and the governance of knowledge, development, peace building, human rights, international law, micro foundations of democratic governance, health and occupational health, and safety.
Braithwaite received his bachelor's and doctoral degrees at the University of Queensland in Australia. He was a Meyer Visiting Research Professor at New York University Law School, a visiting fellow of the American Bar Foundation and a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow and visiting lecturer at the University of California in Irvine.
For more information, contact Beth Kuhles, College of Criminal Justice public relations officer, at 936.294.4425.
'High-Pressure Culture' Documentary To Be Presented
The College of Education and the Division of Student Services will present "Race to Nowhere," a grassroots documentary film by Vicki Abeles, on Monday (April 4) in the Lowman Student Center Theater at 3 p.m.
The film depicts Abeles's frustrations with the education system after one of her young children began taking anxiety medication. She expresses what she sees as fault with the high-pressure culture of the system by featuring the stories of youth from all different backgrounds.
The documentary seeks to show that children are not learning how to succeed, but are following in the anxious and stressed-out patterns of their parents, even turning to violence.
"As a mother, I have experienced the stress firsthand and realized that no one was talking about it," said Abeles. "I saw kids who were anxious, depressed, physically ill, checking out, abusing drugs and, worst case, attempting suicide. I felt compelled to speak out about this crisis by making a film and giving voice to the students, teachers, and parents. I wanted to expose the deeper truths about our education system."
Though the film targets the educational system, educators have embraced its critical yet hopeful message.
A blog will be at http://shsuracetonowhere.wordpress.com on the day of the presentation.
Football Game To Drive For Political Fellowship
The Political Science Junior Fellows will host their fourth annual Democrats versus Republicans Charity Football game on Saturday (April 9) at Pritchett Field.
The teams, which will raise funds for the local YMCA and the John Holcombe Scholarship Fund, will face off at noon.
"This is a good way to have fun while also doing something good for the community," said Cameron Goodman, junior fellows secretary.
For the past three years, the Junior Fellows' annual charity football game has brought together students, faculty, and members of the community to promote inter-party cooperation and to raise funds for local causes.
Beginning four months before the game, the players volunteer at local venues, with Democrats and Republicans working alongside one another to help the community.
"It's a good way to build relationships with people who hold different views," Goodman said. "Although it's not always apparent on game day, we actually begin practicing three or four months in advance. While not always building football skills, it does promote friendship and camaraderie."
The spirit of the game was captured by the late John Holcombe, who, when asked to serve as honorary coach of the Democrats in 2008 responded, "Yes, political parties should have fun together."
To play in the game, players are asked to donate between $100 and $150 dollars, agree to a certain number of "practices" and assist with volunteer events in the community.
Last year, the contest raised $3,000, with more than half of the proceeds raised by personal donations from the players themselves. Over the last three years, the event has raised $7,400.
"We have a two-party system, and the parties should offer different solutions to many problems," said junior fellows president Dana Angello. "But there are some local causes, such as education, that the parties can work together on, and we want to encourage that."
Various officials from both parties will be on hand to lead the coin toss, serve as honorary coaches, and adjudicate disputed calls.
Attendance is free and many family-friendly activities will be offered, including sack races, hula-hoops, and a Frisbee toss contest. After the game, YMCA kids and teens will participate in a Republican versus Democrat tug-of-war contest.

Baylor Med Prof To Give Lecture On DNA Replication
Jade Wang, an assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine, will present a lecture on "DNA Replication: A Bacterial Story" as part of the Biological Sciences department's first annual research symposium on Friday (April 8).
Wang's discussion will be presented over dinner during the event, which can be attended by anyone with a special interest in the topic by special arrangement, according to biology graduate student Jeff Goessling.
Wang is an assistant professor in Baylor College of Medicine's departments of molecular and human genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, and molecular virology. She is a co-director of the interdepartmental graduate program in cellular and molecular biology.
Wang's lab currently focuses on control of bacterial DNA replication by nutritional availability, the conflicts between replication and transcription and the mechanism by which they are resolved, and genome organization and replication stress in B. subtilis (Bacillus subtilis, known also as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus) and E. coli.
She graduated with her bachelor's degree in physics from McGill University in Canada and her doctorate in biochemistry from the University of California, San Francisco.
She became a microbiologist and genomicist during her postdoctoral work with Alan Grossman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Wang is a recipient of a National Institute of Heath Director's New Innovator Award (2008-2013) and is the winner of the 2010 Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award by the Genetics Society of America and the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation.
Those interested in attending the lecture should contact Madhu Choudhary, assistant professor of biological sciences, at 936.294.4850.
Undergrads To Present Research For One-Day Conference
Twenty-two undergraduates in the College of Criminal Justice will present their work, while the college recognizes the winner of its research competition, during the Third Annual Undergraduate Research Conference on Wednesday (April 6).
Six posters and 11 PowerPoint presentations will be displayed from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Criminal Justice Center's Hazel B. Kerper Courtroom.
Undergraduate students were invited to submit an original research poster or paper in December with the possibility of winning $500 in scholarships and be recognized at the annual Honors Convocation on April 28.
Six scholarships, ranging from $200 to $500, will be announced on April 6 for the top presentations.
The Undergraduate Research Conference was created to give criminal justice students an opportunity to show off their research and presentation skills, which are in high demand in the job market. It also allows students to test the water to further their education through graduate studies or law school, according to Holly Miller, College of Criminal Justice assistant dean for undergraduate programs.
"I wanted to give students the opportunity to get more involved in research and to get in front of people to present," Miller said. "They need to show off their analytical skills. I am also hoping some of the students show interest in graduate or law schools. This helps them prepare better."
For more information, contact Beth Kuhles, College of Criminal Justice public relations officer, at 936.294.4425.

The SHSU dance program will feature alumni and student-recognized performances as part of the "Dance Spectrum: Beyond" presentation Wednesday through Saturday (April 6-9) in the Performing Arts Center Dance Theater.
Performances will begin at 8 p.m. each evening, with a 2 p.m. Saturday matinee.
The concert will feature students performing modern and ballet pieces choreographed by dance faculty members, including Jennifer Pontius, Jonathan Charles, Andy Noble, Dionne Noble and Erin Reck.
"Beyond" also will feature guest alumnae Alicia Carlin and Julie Holcombe performing an aerial dance, and senior Bachelor of Fine Arts candidate Jessica Cantu's "Just Let Me Breathe," which was honored by inclusion in the gala concert of the American College Dance Festival South-Central conference.
"Aerial dance is done on silk ropes that are rigged; dancers are on the ropes," said Pontius, who is also the dance program coordinator. "It is super cool.
"Alicia and Julie are members of Blue Lapis Light, a professional aerial dance company in Austin," Pontius said. "They dance from skyscrapers there; it's amazing. The choreography Alicia and Julie will perform here is their own, though, not from Blue Lapis Light's repertory."
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and senior citizens.
For more information, call the dance program at 936.294.1875, and for tickets call 936.294.2339.
Concerts To Span 18th Century To Modern Music
Flute soloists and an ensemble of faculty will perform three concerts for the School of Music beginning Monday (April 4).
Two Flute Studio Recitals will be held at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center Recital Hall.
Soloists, accompanied by pianists Kaju Lee and Rebeca Geabou, will perform for programs that will span the 18th century through the present and will include music composed by Telemann, Bach, Mozart, Gluck, Quantz, Reinecke, Andersen, Donjon, Godard, Debussy, Poulenc, Taktakishvili, Hue, Sancan, Clarke, Kennan, Ferroud and Hanson.
"The programs are diverse, interesting, beautiful and challenging," said Kathy Daniel, associate professor of flute.
On Wednesday (April 6), the Faculty Brass Ensemble will showcase romantic works at 7:30 p.m. in the PAC Recital Hall.
The large featured works on the program include the Ewald "Quintet No. 3," "a lush romantic Russian composer" and Malcolm Arnold "Quintet for Brass," according to horn professor Peggy DeMers.
"Ewald is one of the better-known composers for the brass quintet because of his style of using Russian folk music and writing for brass as though they are a vocal ensemble," she said. "The work is written for two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba.
"(Arnold) was composing music for some of the most talented players at that time, which is reflected in the virtuosic style of writing," she said. "The work is highly energetic with fast first and third movements, and a lyric second movement that features the trombone."
Both concerts are free.
For more information, call the School of Music at 936.294.1360.
Art Students To Present Work For Juried Show
Students in the art department will display their work while competing for cash awards during the 12th annual Juried Student Exhibition beginning on Monday (April 4) in the Gaddis Geeslin Gallery.
Mixed media artist Josephine Durkin will help select the winning submissions as the guest judge for the exhibit.

CJ Organization Re-launches On Campus
A student organization dedicated to serving crime victims has been re-launched at the College of Criminal Justice.
Open to all students who are interested in preserving and enhancing victims' rights, the Crime Victim Services Alliance will meet on Wednesday (April 6) at 3 p.m. in Criminal Justice Center Room A-185.
"There are a lot of opportunities to do activities," said Leana Bouffard, the club's faculty adviser. "For example, February was Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, and April is Sexual Assault Victims Awareness Month. April is also Crime Victims' Rights Week, which will generate a lot of activities."
The alliance, which was active up until 2007, is being reorganized along with the Victim Studies curriculum, which is now focusing on understanding a victim's response to trauma through classes in psychology and sociology. The bachelor's degree previously involved a more interdisciplinary approach.
SHSU is one of only a few colleges nationwide to offer the Victim Studies degree. Graduates can work in victim service offices in police department and correctional facilities as well as non-profit agencies, such as women's shelter and crisis hotlines. The college is in the process of developing a Bachelor of Science degree in victim studies.
While the group is expected to attract students in victim studies, it also is available to anyone passionate about working with victims.
"It is perfect not only for those in victim dtudies, but anyone that supports or advocates for crime victims," said Alicia Deal, a doctoral student who was one of the founding members of the organization in 2003. "It is a very positive way to talk, debate and expose themselves to how victims feel."
It is also a great way to network with professionals in the field for future career opportunities, Deal said.
For more information, contact Bouffard at 936.294.3123.
Event To Guide Students From 'Backpack To Briefcase'
Career Services will introduce students to the "dos and don'ts" of professional interview dress during its second annual Backpack to Briefcase Fashion Show on Wednesday (April 6).
The event will be from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Lowman Student Center Ballrooms.
Career Services director Pam Laughlin will host the event, during which she will provide tips on interview attire on a budget, explain what business casual means and tell students what not to bring to an interview.
In addition, students will model clothes sponsored by The Woodlands Dillard's and the Men's Wearhouse of Conroe for participants to determine whether their outfit is a "do" or a "don't," according to Paige Loft, Career Fair and Special Events Coordinator.
"They will hold up paper signs indicating their opinions. Then Pam Laughlin will explain what the student is wearing and why or why not it was a good choice," Loft said. "We will also be giving prices of the clothing so that participants can see how much a good interview suit should cost.
"Dressing for an interview is your first impression you will make on a potential employer, and it can cost you a job offer if done incorrectly," she said.
The event also is sponsored by the SHSU Fashion Merchandising Club.
For more information, call Career Services at 936.294.1713.
SHSU Faculty, Alumni Earn National Awards
Matt Nobles, assistant professor of criminal justice at Sam Houston State University, recently received a 2011 SAGE Junior Faculty Professional Development Teaching Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.
Nobles is one of 10 criminal justice faculty members nationwide to be recognized for his "significant promise as a teacher." It is the second consecutive year that a Sam Houston State University faculty member has been awarded this honor, which was also conferred upon Kate Fox in 2010.
To be eligible for the Professional Development Teaching Award, faculty members must have begun teaching full-time and received their most recent graduate degree within the last five years. The faculty members can teach at the associate's, bachelor's or doctoral degree level in a criminal justice or criminology program.
Awardees participated in a two-day teaching workshop at the conference in Toronto, where they discussed topics such as providing online learning, teaching theory and research methods, teaching large sections, exploring service learning, and using different techniques to assess student performance.
In addition to receiving the teaching award, Nobles participated in two research projects, on "Non-response bias in web-based surveys of college students: A comparison of results across in-class and web-based surveys" and "Student support for concealed handguns on a university campus," which were presented at the ACJS annual meeting this year.
His general areas of interest include violent and interpersonal crimes, guns and gun policy, communities and crime, and quantitative methodology.
In addition to Nobles, two other SHSU alumni received the SAGE Junior Faculty Professional Development Award, including William C. Hale, of Louisiana State University at Shreveport, who received his doctorate in 2005; and Tina L. Freiburger, of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who earned her Master of Arts degree in 2004.
Leadership Command College Graduates 65th Class
More than 1,500 police executives have graduated from the state's premier management training program since it was created in 1989, providing the knowledge and skills necessary for successful leadership in a modern law enforcement agency.
The leadership command college, the most comprehensive program run by the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas, graduated its 65th class in March.
The nine-week program—which is taken in three, 15-day modules— helps up-and-coming law enforcement supervisors with training in general business administration; social, political and judicial issues; and budgeting, leadership and operational matters.
"I'm so proud of the police executives that have invested in their careers with the LCC experience," said Rita Watkins, executive director for LEMIT. "LCC is an executive development program recognized for its exemplary and rigorous curriculum. A graduate proudly wears the professional insignia of LCC which signifies the hard work and commitment one has made to develop themselves personally and professionally."
After completing an online introduction to the program, law enforcement supervisors participate in three different modules over an 18-month to two-year period held on the consortium campuses of SHSU, Texas A&M and Texas Woman's University. The program is open to licensed peace officers with at least two years of management experience and five years in law enforcement.
The training is academically rigorous and requires participants to create research papers on a law enforcement issue they are passionate about, which are cataloged in SHSU library collection and sometimes published in law enforcement magazines. The LCC executives also can use the course to earn college credit toward undergraduate or graduate degrees.
"It's truly an exceptional program," said Ric Sadler, assistant chief for Little Elm and a program graduate and instructor. "It nurtures you from your basic to your academic needs. It is for the whole person as a contemporary law enforcement officer."
Among the topics addressed during the latest class were the reduction of teen drunken driving through education; the effect of night shifts on officers; forensic facial imaging; forensic art versus forensic software; incentive pay for police for bachelor's or master's degrees; workplace performance improvements; and the grief of surviving spouses.

On the bus, Jerry is congratulated by several students at the school for having the courage to stand up to Brother Leon by refusing to sell the chocolates. Jerry enjoys the admiration, but has conflicting thoughts and emotions surrounding his decision. He isn't asked a question until later once he has already arrived at school. At school, The Goober asks Jerry why he refused the chocolates and he admits that he doesn't know why. The Goober tries to urge Jerry to give in and accept them, but Jerry insists that now he is committed and just can't back down.

Three of Robbins' most celebrated ballets unite to demonstrate his keen musical insight.Prokofiev's feverish concerto sends a male protagonist on a dreamlike search for an ethereal counterpart, and Chopin's piano works allow the spectrum of human interaction to be distilled into the most natural of movements. Seizing upon more modern styles, Glass's minimalism mimics the pulsating heartbeat of metropolitan life in charged, urban choreography.
Set to Prokofiev's feverish concerto, Opus 19/The Dreamer follows a male protagonist on a journey to find his elusive and ethereal counterpart.
The quintessential piano ballet, Dances at a Gathering distills the spectrum of human interaction into the most natural of movements, a landmark for its invention, virtuosity, and constantly shifting emotions.
Expansive in scope and streamlined in style, Glass Pieces captures the pulsating heartbeat of metropolitan life with its charged, urban choreography, concluding in a finale that propels the corps de ballet across the stage at an electrifying pace.

By Bridget Grieve-Carlson
At night, as a teenager,
I'd watch Fred and Ginger,
the dance team on the television.
This was in the days when Fred was considered the expert,
long before it ever occurred to anyone,
Even while we were watching,
Ginger was doing it all
in heels.
One night my mother walked through the hallway
from the kitchen
to find me lying on the living room sofa,
subdued by the August heat.
There is so little time
between finishing the dishes and deciding to talk to me
that when she comes up and stands in front of me,
blocking the television
with her plump pregnant belly,
water drops still hang from her usually ragged fingernails,
giving them the appearance of long perfect nails.
It isn't until years later that
I remember what she said to me that night.
You know love isn't really like that,
she said, as she turned to Fred and Ginger.
But I wasn't listening.
I loved anything perfect back then.
I loved the first few days after my mother got her hair done
and nothing she did would mess it.
And when she would dress for a party in a new, clean floral dress
and put on makeup,
and gone
were the runs in her nylons,
stains on her clothes,
and dark circles under her eyes.
I wasn't listening that night.
I was marveling at her perfect fingernails
and the way the droplets of water that hung from them
glistened by the light of the television.
She was just my mother back then.
The woman in the house
who did everything,
while pregnant,
with kids in diapers.
Bridget Grieve-Carlson is a mother of three children, a writer, and a para- educator in an autistic support classroom. She has published short stories in Central Pennsylvania Magazine and Storyteller. She has also written a novel which she hopes to publish in the near future.
