Network programming over the last five years has been a systematic rebuttal of T.S. Eliot's classic dictum that "human kind cannot bear very much reality." It turns out, upon further review, that humankind can bear reality seven nights a week, on about 35 different channels. We like it in every possible flavor, from the dramatic (Survivor) to the moronic (Joe Millionaire) to the horribly offensive (The Swan). Reality TV is not even a guilty pleasure anymore. It's as if our entire culture has reached the halfway point in a gigantic bag of Cheetos and just collectively decided to go ahead and finish it off.
A couple of years ago, in an act of countercultural rebellion, I renounced reality television forever. I think it was in silent protest of The Anna Nicole Smith Show, which struck me as a tipping point: The genre had become a Gordian knot of social postures—camp, irony, sincerity, acting, self-parody, and self-promotion. I couldn't even begin to untangle it, so I gave up, and I've managed to abstain from any regular viewing ever since (after, of course, having watched every single episode of Anna Nicole).
This summer, though, reality lured me back—not by reaching some new level of ironic self-regard, but through an appeal to my most primal emotion: my hatred of teenagers. Brat Camp documented the hormone-saturated plight of nine worse-than-average teens (their crimes ran from drugs to ADHD to the attempted murder of a twin brother) as they griped their way through a wilderness self-improvement program called SageWalk.
Last night, the series ended its surprisingly popular summer-long run with one final tantrum. Now that it's over, we can say definitively that it was awful to the very end: slow, repetitive, full of paint-by-numbers pop-psychology and manufactured epiphanies. Brat Camp was also (as all the critics have pointed out) ethically dubious, since it depended entirely on the exploitation of clueless and seriously troubled minors—a sort of When Animals Attack of human development. And yet I couldn't stop watching; its opening episode was the most riveting television I've seen in years. (It strikes me as a little parable of contemporary American culture that I was actually disappointed when Brat Camp was canceled one week to make way for a retrospective on the career of Peter Jennings.) Brat Camp was like porn for people who hate teenagers—which is probably the largest target audience possible, since it includes everyone in the world, even (and especially) teenagers.
Though I'm normally a pretty empathetic person, I hate teenagers with incredible fervor. It's nothing personal: I hate them categorically, like I hate injustice. I hate the way they roam around in packs, wearing floppy, Technicolor clothes, sculpting their marginal facial hair, slapping and tripping each other, shouting strings of banal obscenities as if they were delivering the "Gettysburg Address." I hate the way they express personal inadequacy through car accessories and vandalism. I even hate the word "teens," which sounds like some kind of infectious skin fungus. When a child I love becomes a teenager, my love for him goes into escrow for seven years. I know that there are biological excuses for their behavior—their amygdalae (the brain's anger and fear center) are ballooning, their exploding sexualities have only secret and shameful outlets—but that doesn't change my instinctive revulsion any more than knowing that sharks eat people because they need the protein. The cast of Brat Camp—a tribe of self-absorbed, violent, coke-dabbling, pimply rage-aholics—isn't an anomaly: It is the fullest logical expression of the genus teen, the platonic ideal of the species.
On Brat Camp,the teenage animal is frustrated at every turn. SageWalk is the most effective engine of teen torture ever devised, as carefully calibrated as any instrument of the Spanish Inquisition. Even its name—a cutesy portmanteau of wisdom, herbs, and slow movement—seems engineered to offend the teenage sensibility. It's a perfect blend of physical hardship—hiking for hours through blizzards, eating only boiled oats—and psychological torment. The camp is relentlessly uncool. The kids all have to wear matching hats, and instead of drill sergeants barking merciless orders (an authoritative yin that screams out for a rebellious yang), the camp is run by a squadron of unflappably gentle guidance counselors who call each other by "earth names": Glacier, Mother Raven, Little Bear. They answer every outburst of teen rage with respectful, hushed dialogue about feelings. I love it all exactly as much as the teenagers hate it, which is very much.
Critics have unanimously panned Brat Camp, usually based on superego-driven misreadings; its fundamental appeal is pure id. No matter how much the show tried to cover its tracks with feel-good narration and solemn music, we watched it for the breakdowns, not the breakthroughs. The campers' tantrums were jarring and authentic, exquisitely hateable, while their moments of clarity tended to sound like a word salad cribbed from self-help books: They proactively opened doors, cleared lines of communication, broke down walls, surmounted obstacles, and maximized potentials ad nauseam. My favorite line from the finale came when the fatherless and intermittently likable hothead Frank was reunited with his mom, who immediately broke into rite-of-passage talk: "You've turned into a man." To which he responded, "No, it's just from not shaving."
Most of the show's awkwardness came from the unbridgeable chasm between the noble ambitions of SageWalk—to administer emergency CPR to flat-lining young lives—and the network's pursuit of a very healthy (judging from the length and frequency of the commercial breaks) bottom line. In fact, the soul of the show was always and only the delicious spectacle of teens denied any outlet for their instinctive awfulness. This is why the real star of Brat Camp was the worst brat of them all: Jada, a pathologically manipulative drama queen who never even came close to buying into the program.While the others made actual progress, became less teenlike, and occasionally even crossed over into likableness, Jada kept lying about the most obvious things and then shrieking and flinging herself around in incredibly entertaining despair. Her impending hissy fits were often promised before commercial breaks. The show's ultimate tragedy was that she graduated in the end; I had fantasies of her being left to wander in the wilderness forever.
The show's real finale aired off-camera earlier this month, when two Brat Camp graduates were arrested for impeccably teenage crimes. Isaiah, an angry punk with two-tone hair, allegedly painted racist slurs and a swastika on a local preschool teacher's lawn. Not to be outdone, Jada almost killed a family of seven with a speedboat. Once again, reality has become almost unwatchably complex: The crimes came just in time to serve as unofficial advertisements for the season's final episode.

For all the media's focus on big-money events, it's often weird local games or odd new hybrid events that really capture the joy of sport across the world. So we asked the authors of The Rough Guide to Cult Sport to select their ten favourite strange sports from the book (with apologies to the likes of cardboard tube duelling, cheese rolling, dwarf throwing, Irish road bowling, underwater ice hockey and yak racing, which didn't quite make the cut).
Chess Boxing - Worldwide
This most schizophrenic of sports originated in a comic book from which the strange notion of splicing together chess and boxing was taken by Dutchman Iepe Rubingh.The winner of a contest overcomes his opponent in either one of the alternating rounds of chess or boxing.
Haka Pei - Easter Island, Chile
A cousin in spirit to England's cheese rolling, in Haka Pei participants are timed hurtling down a steep hill strapped to a banana tree stump, sliding at speeds of up to 50 mph. Originally the event was linked to the training of local warriors though it is now a central event of the annual festival of Tapati.
Panjat Pinang - Indonesia
A vital part of Indonesian independence celebrations, Panjat Panang sees various objects, such as bikes and televisions, hung as prizes at the top of liberally-greased nut or palm tree trunks. Oddly enough, climbing up is not easy and it is not individuals but more often youthful groups working together that reach the top earliest to secure the best goodies.
Kataw - Laos, South East Asia
© Nach-Noth/Shutterstock
Not so much odd as miraculous to western eyes, Kataw is a volleyball-style game that requires high-kicking acrobatics and dazzling levels of balance. The most spectacular move is the equivalent of the volleyball "spike", performed via a bicycle-kick and usually defended close to the net in the same way. In Malaysia they call this strange sport Sepak Tekraw.
Idiotarod - North America
Take one shopping cart, five matching costumes, an abundance of weird projectiles and plenty of strong liquor and you've got yourself an entry for the Idiotarod (liquor not required, but encouraged). More party than competition, in New York's version there are team awards for "best in show" (costume) and "best sabotage". Oh and there's a race around a route with checkpoints too.
Calcio Storico Fiorentino - Florence, Italy
Imagine rugby without rules, or American football without helmets, padding or even shirts. Imagine a game in which whilst wearing little but colourful breaches you can tackle off the ball, throw punches and pin an opponent to the ground for the duration. 27-a side Calcio Storico, which dates back to 1530, is not for the faint-hearted.
Tejo – Colombia, South America
Colombia's much-loved national game (often played like darts with beer to hand) is a throwing sport consisting of pitching small metal discs from sixty feet at a single metal ring surrounded by pouches of gunpowder. Hitting a pouch (three points) should trigger a minor explosion, but the big points (six) are given for getting your disk within the ring.
Robot Camel Racing – Kuwait & Qatar
World-cup host-to-be Qatar was the leading technical pioneer in this burgeoning sport. Cyber-jockeys were introduced in races to replace child jockeys at risk from the animals' hooves. Camels however, still have to endure the occasional whip from their strange midget riders who can do clever things like measure the speed and heart rate of their mount.
Bog Snorkelling – Wales, UK
© Stephen Barnes/Shutterstock
With its strikingly mud-drenched contestants, Bog Snorkelling has become something of a dirty poster boy of weird sports. The annual world championships, held every August, started some thirty years ago at Llanwrtyd Wells. Participants have to swim two soggy sixty-metre stretches of a trench specially cut into a Welsh peat bog.
Trugo - Melbourne, Australia
The following of Trugo is restricted to a small square of northwest Melbourne. In the 1920s, railway worker Tom Grieves improvised a working-class elaboration of croquet using odd rail yard tools and parts such as mallets for driving in rail spikes and rubber rings from carriage couplings. Only a few Trugo clubs remain – secret gems with tiny shed pavilions and corrugated tin roofs.

Know the sound of avalanche danger
Recommended Video:
Hear this sound one time, know what it means, and it can send a wave of fear through you: "Whumph!"
It sounds like somebody just dropped a sack of potatoes from 50 feet high into 3 feet of powder snow.
On instinct, you will turn to see where it came from. There are no indicators: A moonscape of fresh snow extends as far as you can see up the steep mountain slopes. If you're not scared by now, then you don't realize the risk: The daunting power of nature may be about to unleash its ultimate winter force, an avalanche.
The "whumph" noise is a warning sound that an avalanche may be imminent.
It occurs when a deep layer of light, fresh powder piles high atop a dense layer of frozen ice beneath it. The whumph noise is the sound of that powder compressing, shifting or sliding a bit downhill. That's how avalanches get started.
Over the coming holidays and into January, anybody who ventures into the snow country away from resorts should use extreme caution for avalanche danger. This includes those who cross-country ski, snowshoe, telemark free-lance style or ride a snowmobile, especially into mountain bowls that feed up into steep slopes.
Last week, there was a shift in force, as we call it.
Just a week ago, the snow line was as high as 9,000 feet, with heavy rain on top of snow in the high country. The moisture soaked in like a giant sponge. When temperatures plummeted, it then froze into a giant ice block.
The snow level then dropped as low as 3,500 to 4,000 feet in the Sierra foothills with 15 inches (and more in some spots) of powder high in the scoop-like cirques. That light powder piled high on the ice block.
If you were up there, you might have heard a whumph or have seen an avalanche, like the one in Lee Vining Canyon east of Yosemite along Highway 120.
On steep slopes, the light powder can slide down across that ice block, gather in strength and eventually unleash a wall of hurtling snow that plunders everything in its path.
In current conditions, Class 2 slab avalanches, which are large enough to bury a person, are possible in the upper reaches of steep-sloped bowls in wilderness.
Class 3s are big enough to break trees. If it keeps snowing - and storms are forecast to pulse on and off into the New Year - there is a chance for that in some spots, especially canyons and steep, bowl-like areas that receive little sunlight.
Typical danger spots include the Old Ski Bowl high on Mount Shasta, the north-facing slope of Unicorn Peak in Yosemite, the canyon below Taboose Pass in the Eastern Sierra, and many other similar spots. Many are great destinations to trek to the ridge and then sail down on a snowboard or skis, do-it-yourself style.
Two feet of powder sitting on top of a sloped ice block can be plenty to create avalanche danger.
If a slope is facing the wind, huge drifts, or what are called wind slabs, can form. This is common at some ski parks, where ski patrol members will inspect the mountain before dawn and throw small charges into the slabs to release the pressure. If you can't recognize a wind slab when you see one, you should not try to freelance in areas outside of ski parks.
The best advice is to wait until the snowpack stabilizes.
There's an easy way to determine that: Dig a hole in the snow and see how much powder is piled atop the frozen layer, which is often marked by pine needles and twigs. Powder at least 2 feet deep on an ice block can sound a warning.
Wilderness rangers use a more sophisticated method, but anybody can do this:
On a slope where there is fresh powder, isolate a square of snow from 1 to 6 feet across by digging around it into the ice slab so that a square of snow sits as a separate block. Then step on it. If the snow block slides across the ice, avalanche probability is high.
With a failed test, a 25-degree slope in avalanche-prone areas can be enough for danger; 30- and 40-degree slopes, popular with maverick boarders, can be deadly.
And if you go anyway, hoping for the best, and hear the "whumph" noise, it may be too late.

Storm fit for an ark
Marin: On the north flank of Mount Tamalpais, it rained 11 inches in a week, and seven lakes in the watershed are now at 93 percent of capacity.
Foothills: Sterling City on the Feather River had 21.24 inches of rain in six days and Lake Oroville came up 33 feet in the same span, 41 feet overall, and is now 65 percent full (105 percent of normal).
Farther north: It rained 18 inches in six days at Sims along Interstate 5. The Upper Sacramento and McCloud rivers both rose from about 300 cubic feet per second to as high as 30,000 cfs, and the surface of giant Shasta Lake has risen 28 feet since Thanksgiving. It's now 67 percent full (108 percent of normal, despite a drought last year).
Best for outdoors
Remember the survey I did among California outdoors writers who picked the Eastern Sierra as the best place to live if you love the outdoors? In a survey of Lonely Planet travel writers, it came in No. 1 in California and No. 6 in the nation for top travel destination: 1. Louisville, Ky., 2. Fairbanks, Alaska, 3. San Juan Islands, Washington, 4. Philadelphia, 5. American Samoa, 6. Eastern Sierra, California, 7. Northern Maine, 8. Twin Cities, Minnesota, 9. Verde Valley, Arizona, 10. Glacier National Park, Montana.
Outdoor notes
Hawk watch: Raptor migration in the vicinity of Hawk Hill at the Marin Headlands has taken wing, with 8,500 red-tailed hawks and 25,000 raptors verified. Updates: ggro.org
On the inside: In Yosemite, rangers are getting ready to crack down on park employees residing in Yosemite Valley who let their cats outside off leash, potentially leaving them free to kill songbirds. That's right: In a park, you need to keep your cat on a leash or get a ticket.
Plates for powder: Anybody who purchases a new Lake Tahoe license plate gets two free lift tickets to one of 11 Tahoe resorts.
No more slot limit: The Fish and Game Commission voted to end the slot limits for bass at lakes Oroville, McClure, Millerton, Orr and Siskiyou effective March 1. Why? Because bass anglers already release 97 percent of their catch, according to a study, rendering the law irrelevant.
Duck flood: In the counts released this past week, 958,766 ducks and 351,052 geese have taken up residence at the six wildlife refuges that make up the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
Big Fish Club: 410-pound yellowfin tuna for John Peturesco on the boat Excel out of San Diego. ...

CNS News
July 13, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has put former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "near the top of the list" of his potential running mates, the Drudge Report revealed Thursday evening.
Rice favors legalized abortion–calling herself "mildly pro-choice"–and was a leading architect of President George W. Bush's foreign policy, which aimed, as Bush put it in his second inaugural address, at "ending tyranny in our world."
Rice served as national security adviser in Bush's first term and as secretary of state in his second.
In a March 11, 2005 interview with the Washington Times, which was posted online in its entirety by the State Department, Rice explained why, as "a deeply religious person" she was nonetheless "pro-choice" on abortion.
"What is your thought on abortion?" a Washington Times reporter asked Rice.
"I believe–if you go back to 2000 when I helped the President in the campaign, I said that I was, in effect, kind of libertarian on this issue, and meaning by that, that I have been concerned about a government role in this issue," said Rice.

Playing Technique
nical possibilities of the "New Dutch School" that the approach to the bassetto opened up for me,
a command of this technique is a sensible basis for learning the bassetto. There are alternatives, but they seem to me to be cumbersome. I con-
sider the four-finger technique to be essential – after all the other string instruments that are tuned in fifths are played in this way. With the Simandl technique, too many position shifts
would be necessary. Thus, for example, to play
a two-octave D major scale (ascending and descending) with the three-finger technique would require eight shifts, while with the four-finger technique it needs only two! Of course not all keys can be managed so conveniently, but the bassetto is relatively comfortable to play; in my opinion more comfortable than the fourths-tuned double bass. (This is particularly the case when an instrument with a shorter scale is used.) In particular, the strings speak significantly better, and less pressure is necessary (with the right hand as well as with the left) because the strings are thinner. Also not to be underestimated is the excellent playing feel that results from the superb resonance provided by the high fifths tuning G-D-A-E. With this, still more sound "comes back" than with the
C-G-D-A tuning, which is in its turn more resonant than the E-A-D-G and F#-B-E-A tunings.

Well summer is officially here. I personally feel that summer starts in May, but officially it is not until June 21st. What better way to cool off than with a light, refreshing low-calorie frozen treat? I picked up a box of Honey Maid Graham Crackers (the only brand I will eat) to use for one baking project or another. I don't typcially make too many recipes on the back of packages, but this one really peaked my interest. I modified it slightly, but it turned out fantastic! It even inspired me to make a couple other flavors. I can't get enough of these things.
- 10 1/2 Honey Maid Graham Crackers, broken into quarters (42 rectangles)
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek style yogurt
- 1 1/2 cup thawed frozen reduced-fat whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Line 9-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Arrange half the graham pieces, in 3 rows of 7 pieces each, on bottom of pan.
- Spoon strawberry puree into medium bowl; stir in yogurt, whipped topping, and vanilla extract. Spread over graham pieces in prepared pan. Top with remaining graham pieces, aligning to match placement of graham pieces on bottom layer. Freeze 4 hours. Use foil handles to remove dessert from pan; cut between grahams to form 9 square bars and 3 rectangular bars or 21 rectangular bars. (square bars are pictured)

For someone who was in a fight that a lot of observers thought was lackluster due to an opponent who didn't want to engage that much, Bibiano Fernandes was highly complimentary. But that's his style: no regrets.
Fernandes (14-3) this past month won ONE FC's interim bantamweight title with a five-round unanimous decision victory over Koetsu Okazaki (8-3-1) at ONE FC 9 in the Philippines.
But Fernandes said his opponent's "sneaky" nature may have led to the way the bout played out over 25 minutes.
"It was a very good fight," Fernandes told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "He tried to move around and come forward to punch, but I went in there and did my best. That's why I do it, and he's a pretty tough kid. I don't know what happened. He's very sneaky and very good, but it was a good fight."
Fernandes now holds the promotion's interim bantamweight title and awaits word on when he might fight current champ Soo Chul Kim, who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury.
But Fernandes said it doesn't matter when that fight comes – his loyalty lies with ONE FC, which has become arguably the biggest player in Asian MMA.
"I have a six-fight deal with ONE FC, and I'm going to keep putting on good fights and we'll see what happens for me," he said. "I'm waiting to fight the champ at 135 and waiting for them to call me to say that's the next fight. So we'll see."
Despite being from Brazil, Fernandes, who is ranked No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA bantamweight rankings, has found himself with a big following in the Philippines, where he now has fought twice under the ONE FC banner.
Some of that may be due to his popularity in Asia while fighting for DREAM, where he won the featherweight tournament and that promotion's title, then won its bantamweight title after dropping down when he lost the 145-pound belt.
Regardless, Fernandes loves the response he gets when he walks out, like the one that came at ONE FC 9.
"Fighting in the Philippines is very good – 20,000 people in the arena, and it's crazy," he said. "People go crazy for the fights, and it's very loud."
Considering ONE FC has held events now in Sinagapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, to go along with the two events in the Philippines, Fernandes said he's also willing to fight wherever they ask him to go. But if they call him to return to the Philippines, all the better.
"If they say I have to go to Singapore, I'll go there," he said. "China or Korea? I'll go there. The Philippines, I really like it there. It's very warm, and I like to fight in the heat because my conditioning is good. But once they say to me I have to go wherever they want to do it, I'll do it. I'm an employee and I'll fight wherever they say. But for me, it's crazy – I don't believe the feeling fighting in the Philippines."
Well in the past, Fernandes said, is the time he nearly became a UFC employee. About a year ago, word got out that Fernandes had signed with the UFC and would debut at UFC 149 against Roland Delorme.
But that fight soon was removed from the UFC's website, and Fernandes later said he merely was negotiating with the UFC – but never signed a deal. Right now, he considers the move to go to ONE FC the right choice.
"I moved forward in my life – no looking back," he said. "The past is the past. I made my decision and I moved forward. I know my talent. I enjoy the competition, and for me the fighting is only competition. The business part is very complicated. I've fought for a long time. I know I could fight for the UFC, and maybe even for the belt. But they have to make it fair. I know my value. Everything I do in my life, you win, I win, everyone moves forward. I'll always do my best, but it has to be fair."

When Ben Townley suffered his devastating practice crash at round two of the Monster Energy MX Nationals back in April, many people wouldn't have been surprised if the Kiwi ripper had walked away from the sport. But the 2012 Terex Australian Supercross Championship has seen the start of his comeback, and a second place behind Chad Reed at the Toowoomba round mud-fest on Saturday night might just signal BT101's return.
Even though it was his best result since the beginning of the year, he kicked himself for crashing four times and letting a good opportunity to make a race out of it slip from his grasp. We sat down with the Carlton Dry Thor Honda racer to find out what went down, how he's struggling with his new race strategy, and how he plans to return to the blistering pace he found at the beginning of 2012.
Racer X: Congrats on getting back on the box, Ben. Looking at your face though, I take it this is a bittersweet moment for you?
Ben Townley: [Laughs] Yeah, just a little bit! It's been a long time coming so I'm pretty stoked to get back up there, but I think my race could've been a whole lot better. I crashed four times and still finished second! I'm not saying my result on paper would've been any different if I'd kept it together, but I could've made a race of it. I had the speed to. In saying that, it's really good to be enjoying my racing again. I had a smile on my dial the whole time and just loved being out there in the mud. I revelled in it really.
Is your injured leg in the back of your mind at all, especially in tough conditions like Saturday night?
Nah, not at all. The only time it was in my mind was the first few times I rode in the sand. My leg was healed, but the strength of my hip flex area was a little bit weak. From then I've gradually progressed, but I can honestly say it's never in my mind now, which is a great thing.
Yeah, that's awesome. Word is you hurt your finger at Toowoomba. What happened?
I crashed and I had my finger on the clutch, but as I picked my bike up Todd smashed into the back of me and it forced the handlebars into the ground, jamming my finger between the clutch lever and the 'bars. It put a good gash in it, so I had to get it seen to by RACESAFE after the race. It doesn't need stitches or anything.
You're slowly working your way back to form. How does it feel lining up for supercross races and not going out with the intention of winning?
It absolutely sucks. I haven't had to do that since I first went to Europe when I was 16 – back then my aim was to qualify and just do as good as I could. The next year I podiumed at the first round and all of a sudden I was a World GP podium contender at the age of 17. Ever since then my intention has always been to get out of the gate, holeshot and win.
That hasn't been my intention at Dubbo and Phillip Island. It's a weird feeling sitting on the start line and thinking 'I'll be stoked to get top 10 tonight'. It's a really unusual mentality for me and it's something that I've really had to come to grips with.
Townley on the center of the box--but that's for second place. He wants more.
Shayne Rice photo
Surely there's still the temptation to just pin it and try to win as soon as the gate drops? I mean, it's a mindset that's been ingrained in you for so long.
That's exactly right. Whenever I race I never seem to have a problem with speed, but I've had to be really reserved. I don't know how noticeable it is, but I've been really reserved in my riding this series. I'm trying to just build a solid foundation to win the 2013 MX Nationals, then set myself up for the rest of my career. In my mind there's still a lot that I want to achieve overseas.
So internationally, there're still a lot of unanswered questions for you?
Shit yeah. After my crash at Coonabarabran I've had to hit the reset button and start building right from square one again. I've had some bloody deep, dark moments with myself over the past eight months and I've been bitterly, bitterly pissed off at myself for the chance that went begging to ride for Reedy's team in the 2012 AMA Motocross Championship. Now I've got so much drive within me to get myself back into that position again.
Townley hasn't let go of his goals.
Simon Makker photo
A lot of people wouldn't have been surprised if you'd said "stuff it" and walked away from racing after getting knocked down so many times. What made you decide to push through yet another injury?
I guess it goes back to the New Zealand season I had at the beginning of 2012, and the way I was able to ride my bike. I carried that confidence and speed into the opening round of the MX Nationals at Conondale. I came there not really knowing what to expect as I'd never raced those guys, especially in their own territory, and I led every lap and won each race by around 30 seconds. Looking back now, I believe that at Conondale I was the fastest I've ever been in my career – better than what I was when people talk about my speed in 2007. The way I rode my bike at the beginning of this year was phenomenal. I guess what burned inside me was if I could ride my bike like that, I can get to the highest level and have a crack at the big titles, whether it'd be in America or Europe. I'm putting my heart and soul becoming the best racer I can possibly be.
Awesome, thanks for that, bro. See you at Newcastle this weekend.
Cheers, dude, looking forward to it.

KYLE, Texas (KEYE/CNN) - A substitute teacher was fired and subsequently arrested after deputies say multiple videos showed her assaulting a teenage girl in class at a Texas high school.
Tiffani Lankford, 32, faces a charge of second-degree felony aggravated assault after she allegedly assaulted a female student in a foreign language class at Lehman High School in Kyle, Texas.
The Hays County Sheriff's Office says Lankford was arrested Friday after several videos that showed the alleged assault were presented to deputies.
"It makes me very angry. It makes me feel sad for that child. I feel like nobody can get in to step in to help her because they were probably very scared," said resident Consuela Juarez of one such video.
The victim was taken to a local hospital by her father for evaluation. There are conflicting reports of the student's age.
It's unclear what led up to the alleged assault.
"No matter what a kid says to you, short of them pulling a weapon on you, I don't see any cause for that sort of reaction," said resident Michael Bower, whose son graduated from Lehman High last year.
The Hays Consolidated Independent School District says Lankford was fired as a substitute teacher, and the incident was reported to the Texas Education Agency.
"Under no circumstance is that behavior tolerated at Lehman High School or in Hays CISD," said Lehman Principal Karen Zuniga in a statement to parents. "We take the safety and security of our students seriously. We took swift action when this incident occurred and will do everything necessary to protect our students."
Lankford had worked for the district since Aug. 30 and undergone orientation training.
Deputies say the investigation is ongoing.

Makeup Counter Shopping Tips
How to Buy (Only) What You Need at the Makeup Counter
You could walk away from the department store cosmetics counter with your new signature staples or get a horrific makeover and buy stuff you'll never use. That's why we've rounded up the essential steps to avoiding the latter outcome. From how to deal with salesclerks to the cost of a free makeover, get all your makeup counter questions answered.
Do I have to buy something at a free makeover? Technically, no — but don't you tip your waitress at a restaurant? Most department store makeup artists work on commission, and their goal is to help and please you. So if you're just browsing, say so up front.
Which products are worth the makeup counter? Some products can be bought at the drugstore with excellent results. But if you're completely lost when it comes to foundation, leave it to the professionals. This way you can get your skin tone's best match and the right amount of coverage — and you'll have an idea of what to look for at the drugstore. Fragrance and lipstick can also be worth the trip. And ask the clerk which products from the line she actually uses; those will most likely be the best picks.
How much background should I give to the makeup artist? In order to get the most out of your purchases or makeover, there are a few questions you should answer. What is your skin type? What products are you using now? How much time do you spend on grooming daily? Keep in mind the counter clerk is not a dermatologist, but this information will help you get the best products for you.
Can I help myself if all the associates are busy? Feel free to browse, but don't reach behind the counter or dip your paws in makeup testers. If you prefer a self-service option, Clinique has a system with color-coordinated wristbands. You can choose to be left alone or ask for help without saying a word.
How do I avoid buying something I don't want? It can be hard to resist the sales pitch. Sidestep the temptation to overspend by compiling a wish list before you arrive — and stick to it. Be prepared to just say no to products you don't want. And if you do go overboard, remember: you can always return cosmetics items.


text: Sinclair makes lasting impact - Vancouver Sun June 9, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Ian Walker Christine Sinclair was the difference for the Vancouver Whitecaps women on Saturday. No surprise there. Maybe not so expected is the lasting impact the Canadian national team star's one-game cameo appearance will make on the W-League club. More than Sinclair's two goals in a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders at Swangard Stadium, it was her passion and professionalism that could prove to be the most influential on the Whitecaps' playoff hopes. Both traits were never more evident than in the 84th minute with the score deadlocked at 1-1. The Burnaby native was seemingly hauled down in the box by a Seattle defender, but much to Sinclair's and the crowd's disbelief, referee Marco Arrudo waved play on rather than awarding a penalty shot. Outraged, the striker was then given a yellow-card for arguing the missed call. It didn't take long for her to regain her composure. Sinclair burst between a pair of Seattle defenders to net the game-winner just three minutes later. "To see Sinclair's response today in getting the yellow card and get angry and really want to compete for the club is something that sends a big message to the rest of these players," Birarda said after the entertaining game, which preceded a 3-1 victory by the Whitecap men over the Portland Timbers in the night's second match. "They see that this is important, that this is a big deal for everybody. So I think they can take a lot from that and go away and see if they can't keep it going for us." Sinclair opened the scoring in the 25th minute and import Sanna Talonen found the back of the net in the second minute of injury time to round out Vancouver's scoring. Sinclair, who is in town training with the senior national team in advance of the Summer Games, signed a one-game contract to help Vancouver overcome the loss of several Under-20 national team players who are preparing for an U-20 World Cup qualifier in Mexico later this month. "I just felt like I had so much energy out there," said Sinclair, who scored a pair of goals including the game-winner in the 2006 W-League championships -- her last appearance with the Whitecaps. "Playing back at Swangard in front of my family, playing for the Whitecaps again. It was a blast -- the most fun I've had playing soccer in a long time." The win improves the Whitecaps women to 3-0-2 on the season, one point back of the Western Conference-leading Pali Blues and four points clear of third-place Real Colorado Cougars. Vancouver has one game in hand on Pali (4-0-0) and is two games up on the Denver-based Real Colorado (2-0-1). Only the top two teams in the division advance to the playoffs. It was a tale of two halves in the night's second match as Portland jumped out to a 1-0 lead, but was overwhelmed by a three-goal outburst in the second half. Martin Nash, Eddy Sebrango and Alfredo Valente scored for Vancouver (7-2-1) who extend their win streak to four games and as a result sit two points up on the Charleston Battery (6-2-2) in the 11-team United Soccer League's First Division. "I thought we were poor in the first half, and I didn't like it," said Whitecaps head coach Teitur Thordarson, who made some key substitutions by inserting Jason Jordan and Valente after 45 minutes. "In the end, we became stronger and stronger, and when we play like we did in the second half, we are a good side that is difficult to beat." © The Vancouver Sun 2008 Previous Next

Voyages Through Time
Voyages Through Time Curriculum
Evolutionary change is a powerful framework for studying our world and our place therein. It is a recurring theme in every realm of science: over time, the universe, the planet Earth, life, and human technologies all change, albeit on vastly different scales. Evolution offers scientific explanations for the age-old question, "Where did we come from?" In addition, historical perspectives of science show how our understanding has evolved over time. The complexities of all of these systems will never reveal a "finished" story. But it is a story of epic size, capable of inspiring awe and of expanding our sense of time and place, and is eminently worthy of investigating. This story is the basis of Voyages Through Time.
The SETI Institute, the California Academy of Sciences, NASA Ames Research Center, and San Francisco State University have developed standards-based curriculum materials for a one-year high school integrated science course centered on the unifying theme of evolution and delivered on CD-ROM. Scientists, teachers, curriculum writers, and media specialists have created six modules that integrate astronomical, geological, and biological sciences. The sequence of lessons in each module is designed to promote students' understanding and skills as defined by the National Science Education Standards and Benchmarks for Science Literacy.
The six modules, Cosmic Evolution, Planetary Evolution, Origin of Life, Evolution of Life, Hominid Evolution, and Evolution of Technology, use the constructivist approach of engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate (BSCS, 1996) as an instructional framework. The core lessons for all six modules are provided on teacher CD-ROMs; instructional guidelines, science background information, resources (print, audiovisual, software, WWW sites), as well as student handouts will be included on the CDs. Each module also has a soft-cover reader of articles from popular science magazines and a student's CD-ROM of databases and images. These products are published as a complete set for use as a year-long integrated science course and will also be available as individual modules for use in discipline-based courses.
The content and instructional approach of the Voyages Through Time curriculum addresses national standards and recommendations (NRC, AAAS, NSTA), all of which acknowledge evolution as an overarching theme and call for activity-based learning for students. The curriculum also meets the need for quality science materials that incorporate technology, while accommodating schools still building their technology capacities and promoting students' basic literacy.
Teachers from the San Francisco Bay Area and scientists from the collaborating institutions and members of our science advisory board worked with the project leadership, curriculum writers, and multimedia specialists to design the curriculum. The Voyages modules were pilot tested in local S.F. Bay Area schools in the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 school years. National field tests were completed during the 2001-2002 school year in diverse schools across the nation.
The SETI Institute is a non-profit scientific research and educational research organization and is an equal opportunity employer. Voyages Through Time is funded by the National Science Foundation, Grant #ESI - 9730693, with additional support from the Hewlett-Packard Corporation, the Foundation for Microbiology, and the Combined Federated Charities.

Columbus Crew 1, Real Salt Lake 1 | MLS Match Recap
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- On a rainy Columbus night, Ethan Finlay snatched a late equalizer for the Columbus Crew to save a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake, who led for most of the second half thanks to a Luis Gil goal.
Neither team was able to trot out their preferred starting XI in the midweek clash. Both coaches rested players after Saturday matches, and both were missing key parts on World Cup rosters.
The Crew were without Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis, both with the Costa Rican national team, and midfield general Wil Trapp, who was still recovering from a knee injury.
The altered Crew lineup gave Bernardo Anor his first start at left fullback of the season and Uruguayan Agustin Viana slotted into defensive midfield for Trapp. Designated Player Federico Higuain was a welcome return from a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.
Real Salt Lake fielded a largely depleted roster thanks to the absences of midfielder Kyle Beckerman and goalkeeper Nick Rimando, both with the United States national team, as well as forward Alvaro Saborio, who was injured with the Costa Rican national team last week.
Heavy rain at the start of the match made the game sluggish and sloppy in the early going. Neither team could hold possession, and each team made key errors at both ends of the field.
The Crew's best chance came in the 11th minute, when Viana was dragged down in the box by Rich Balchan during a corner kick.
Usually a sure bet on penalty kicks, Higuain stepped to the spot and blasted a shot high above the bar, squandering the chance at an early lead. The Argentine's night wouldn't improve, and after chasing down a long ball in an offside position, he came away grabbing his right hamstring, and would be substituted before the half.
Columbus nearly seized the lead again in the 21st minute, when defender Josh Williams caught hold of a volley and launched a shot across the goal. But RSL 'keeper Jeff Attinella made a diving stop to keep the score level.
RSL began the second half with much more tenacity than the Crew, and were rewarded with the opening goal in the 56th minute.
Initially, defender Abdoulie Mansally launched a screamer from outside of the box, and Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark made a diving save. But the 'keeper couldn't get any help from his defense, and the rebound fell to Gil, who slotted a shot across clark and into the back of the net.
Despite chances from Anor, Dominic Oduro, Hector Jimenez, Adam Bedell and Justin Meram, the Crew only found more of the offensive frustration they've suffered lately, and could not muster a goal against the defensive-minded RSL squad for most of the second half, largely thanks to excellent goalkeeping from Attinella.
The Crew breakthrough finally came in the 88th minute, when substitute Finlay, who had scored or assisted in each of the team's previous three matches, continued his blazing hot streak.
Ben Speas found the speedy Finlay on the wing with a gorgeous through ball, and the Creighton product summoned his best Higuain impression with a looping chip that finally beat Attinella to draw the Crew level.

The Central Connecticut softball team (9-4) closed competition at the USF Spring Break Invitational with a 10-2 win in six innings over Providence College on Sunday. Sophomore Eileen Purcell led the Blue Devil offense, going 2-for-4 at the plate, notching a double and team-high three RBI.
Junior Laura Messina pitched all six innings for CCSU against the Friars (0-12) tallying seven strikeouts and walking two. With the win, Messina improves her record to 8-2.
Central opened the game with a five-run rally that took the Blue Devils all the way through the lineup. Purcell drove in CCSU's first two runs on a single with just one out. She brought sophomore Evie Rentzel and junior Kat Malcolm across the plate, who both singled.
A Friar error crossed senior Tessa Brown to put CCSU up 3-0. Sophomore Hannah Cooper reached on a fielder's choice, notching an RBI as freshman Alexis Debrosse crossed the plate. Lead-off batter Arielle Bruno stepped up to the plate with two outs, singled, and brought in sophomore Kenya McVey for the final run of the inning.
In the top of the third, Providence put its first run on the board on a double and a single before CCSU added two more in the bottom of the fourth to increase the lead to 7-1.
In the bottom of the fifth, CCSU added another run when sophomore Alicia Keough followed a McVey double with a single, plating McVey for an 8-1 lead.
In the top of the sixth, Providence attempted to overcome the deficit, loading the bases with just one out. A single by Kelsi Luttrell scored one before two straight fly-outs to Malcolm in center field sent CCSU back to the plate.
A Brown single scored Bruno followed by a walk-off double from Purcell, who scored Rentzel to give the Blue Devils the eight-run lead in the bottom of the sixth.
Purcell led the offense with three RBI and two hits, including her walk-off double. McVey tallied a double of her own in three at-bats while scoring two runs, and sophomore Katie Schmidt hit her first career triple. Bruno also performed exceptionally well at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two runs.
The Blue Devils return to action on Tuesday, March 18 against #1 Florida in Gainesville, FL. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.

I would like to see slower cars, more short tracks.The car should be closer to stock body like they used to be.Try to even out the teams by limiting budgets or giving smaller teams more time on the track over high budget teams.
Think Bernie cares about some guy from Charlotte promoting races that draw about 5% of his worldwide exposure?

Browns' new coach Mike Pettine not the hot hire, but may be the best
Mike Pettine was not the Cleveland Browns' first, second or maybe even third choice. But the last team to choose a new head coach this season has at last closed the deal. Pettine replaces Rod Chudzinski, who was fired after one season and a 4-12 record.
MORE: 2014 new NFL coach hires | Haslam's letter to fans | 2014 NFL Mock Draft
A news conference is scheduled for 4:45 p.m. to introduce Pettine.
Pettine, whose hire was first reported by cleveland.com, is the Browns' seventh coach since 1999. He just finished his fifth year as an NFL defensive coordinator, having held the role with the Bills and Jets. A coach's son and blue collar coach who climbed his way up with grit and skill, Pettine is well respected. Still, he was anything but a slam dunk for the Browns, who appeared to have their sights set on an offensive-minded coach.
New England Patriots' offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels interviewed for the job, and four days later, withdrew his name from consideration. NFL.com's Albert Breer reports that this week, the Browns took another run at McDaniels, who again declined consideration. Broncos' offensive coordinator Adam Gase was then thought to be the prohibitive favorite, but this week he, too, pulled his name out of contention.
Gase had plenty of incentive to stay where he is. He has the benefit, after all, of working with Peyton Manning, who just came off the best year of any quarterback in NFL history.
Compare that to the Browns' quarterback situation this year: Three different players—Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell and Brian Hoyer—all started games. All were injured at some point, with Hoyer sustaining a season-ending knee injury. Somehow, Browns' receiver Josh Gordon managed to be spectacular this season, but he couldn't win on his own. If the quarterback situation didn't stir up enough drama, the team traded running back Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Considering Richardson's mediocre contriubution to the Colts post-trade, and the chance the Browns now have to land a franchise-changing piece, it may be worth it. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins may be the early favorites.
But, after going after offensive coordinators, the Browns landed on a defensive guy in Pettine. According to cleveland.com , Seattle Seahawks' defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was in contention all the way to the end. And as recently as Wednesday, the Browns reached out to Falcons' offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and ex-Tampa Bay coach, Greg Schiano.
Pettine interviewed a second time with the Browns during the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., a session that cleveland.com reports lasted four hours. But after that, there still was no deal in place. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, CEO Joe Banner, team president Alec Scheiner and general manager Mike Lombardi were all there, the website reports .
Wednesday night, he told reporters that he expected to hear something by the end of the night. It was a sign of enthusiasm and hope on his part. In Pettine, the Browns have found someone who really wants the job, and even if he isn't who they most coveted, they have to be excited about that.
The leadership group is likely to describe the process as careful, thorough and diligent.
It will be perceived, however, as a classic bout of indecisiveness. Already, Haslam issued a plea via email to fans for their patience. Only time—and Pettine—will tell if they will be rewarded.

The Power of One
You might be all that's preventing your gay student from dropping out.
Shhhh! Dozens of students, including these four, raised awareness of gay student issues through national Day of Silence at Little Rock Central High.
Photo: Kelly Quinn
In 10th grade, Jeana Huie went through three sets of textbooks after bullies ripped them to shreds. She ate lunch in her car after kids threw her food to the cafeteria floor, and she avoided the bathroom in the Little Rock, Arkansas, public school after they shoved her face in the toilet.
"Any place that was unsupervised, I avoided," says Huie, now 23. By October of her 11th grade year, she had made it to school on just 11 days. Finally, after a brutal beating in the school parking lot, which teachers watched but didn't stop, Huie couldn't take it any more.
Gay kids who can't point to a single supportive adult ... are twice as likely to miss school.
She dropped out.
An appalling one in four American teens don't earn a high school diploma and countless thousands of them are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered, or questioning (GLBTQ).
Even as states from Iowa to Maine embrace gay marriage, most GLBTQ students, especially those of color, don't feel safe at school. Nearly 9 out of 10 have been verbally harassed on campus; almost a quarter have been physically abused; and an alarming number say educators saw it and did nothing. Scared and depressed, too many skip school, fail classes, and eventually just walk away.
In a new report, "Stepping Out of the Closet, Into the Light," NEA reflects on the stunning toll suffered by gay students—or those perceived to be gay—and calls on educators, regardless of their own views on homosexuality, to stand up for kids. "This is about young people, their safety and ability to achieve," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel, in introducing the report.
Answering the Call
It starts with one adult.
That person—a single supportive adult in the lives of gay kids at school—is the most critical factor in making GLBTQ students feel safe, do well in school, and graduate, research shows.
At Little Rock Central High School, a beacon for civil rights since nine Black students faced an angry mob in 1957, that person is Lynn Smith. Smith, 54, has been teaching art for more than 30 years and, for most of that tenure, was a regular, married guy with two kids. He still is that. But his second marriage is to another man.
More than anything, Smith believes, with all his heart, that it's okay to be yourself. Whether that's a middle-aged Southerner with a same-sex spouse or a curly-haired teen with a penchant for Japanese food and other girls, it's okay. And that's a message that resonates with kids, especially those questioning their sexual orientation or suffering taunts from other kids about perceived "gayness."
For those kids who aren't sure what they are (although their bullies seem to know), the risks are particularly high. While GLBT students are nearly twice as likely to consider dropping out, questioning students are seven times more likely. Thankfully, for those kids at Central, they can always visit Smith's classroom. He didn't fit in either, he says.
"Mr. Smith is incredible!" exclaims Devon Bearden, president of Central's Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA). The 16-year-old winner of a national courage award, Beardon knows incredible. "I'm out and I don't mind being loud about it," she says. "If I can help just one other person [like me] feel comfortable, it's worth it."
Many gay kids can name one supportive adult at their school, and it does make a difference. Gay kids who can't point to a single supportive adult get significantly worse grades, are twice as likely to miss school, and almost three times less likely to see college in their future, according to a national survey by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
Lynn Smith, Central's art teacher, couldn't say no when Devon Bearden (above) asked him to advise the school's Gay-Straight Alliance.

But you don't have to be Harvey Milk—or even Lynn Smith. As small a gesture as a rainbow sticker in your room works wonders. Also popular these days because of their celebrity-powered TV spots, are free posters from GLSEN's ThinkB4YouSpeak campaign. Less edgy, and more appropriate for younger children, are resources from the No Name-Calling Week campaign (January 25–29, 2010).
Even more meaningful are your own words. When Connecticut teacher Kristie Schmidt hears her teens complain, "That's so gay!" she quickly rejoins, "You're not using that word correctly." (Classic English teacher!) And when they protest that they just meant something was lousy, she strikes again: You are insulting all gay people with your negative speech. "Do you know any gay people?" she asks.

This year, as spring came to Little Rock, the kids in the Central GSA put on matching red T-shirts and turned off the teen chatter. It was the Day of Silence, a national event to protest the silencing of GLBTQ youth by bullies, and even Bearden, a tireless spokeswoman for the cause of equality, did her best to stay quiet. "When [other kids] see us doing these events, they ask questions, and some are more intelligent than others," she noted drily.
Later that day, sitting on the grass beneath Central's iconic facade, Smith and his students reflected on the day's success. So many supportive comments! So many red T-shirts worn in solidarity!
"We can't say we're changing minds, but we're opening doors," says Bearden. "Talk about us positively or negatively, either way the conversation is happening."
Nearly half of gay high school students say their school has a GSA, and those kids are about a third as likely to be threatened or injured at school and less than half as likely to attempt suicide, according to GLSEN. (Sadly, gay students still have a suicide rate three to four times higher than their straight peers). Studies also found it doesn't make a big difference if the GSA is large or small, loud or quiet—its mere presence makes a positive difference.
But at least half of all high schools don't have GSAs, and they're especially rare in rural areas, the South, and predominantly Black schools. Consider Yulee High School in north Florida, where a judge reminded administrators earlier this year that, yes, students do have the right to form a GSA. In their efforts to ban it, school administrators had shut down every extra-curricular activity, including cheerleading and football.
You might not expect Little Rock to be much different. Last year, just a few miles away, marchers in a Pride Day parade stepped through streets strewn with manure. But in 2005, Little Rock school board members unanimously approved anti-discrimination policies that include sexual orientation and gender identity.
"If we can do it here, you can do it anywhere," promises Mary Ann Hansen, a Little Rock music teacher and southeast regional director for the NEA GLBT Caucus.
Five years ago, Little Rock school officials also required educators from every middle and high school to attend training on GLBTQ issues, where Hansen led discussions that ranged from suicide rates to "Hey, Mary Ann, when did you know you were to gay?" (Answer: "When did you know you were straight?")
In its recent report, NEA points to four strategies that make a difference for GLBTQ kids: Policy that sends a strong message about discrimination and harassment is the first, a GSA is another, and curricular inclusion—the opportunity for gay students to learn about GLBT people and history in the classroom—is a very important third.
At Schmidt's school in Connecticut, that means including books with GLBT characters on the suggested summer reading list.
The fourth strategy, of course, is to have adults on campus who will stand up for them. And consider this: In a few years, Jeana Huie will be one of those adults. After earning her GED, Huie is now studying to be a teacher.

S.— (UP)—The steel hulk of the British submarine M-2, tomb of 60 seamen who died without even a "fighting chance," was found tonight amid the wrecks of many vessels on the floor of Dead Man's Bay. Warships of the British navy, cruising back and forth in a fuu-eral procession over the scene of the disaster, located the missing submarine ln 100 feet of water after seven days of fruitless search. Lifting lighters were summoned to tbe point, 5.8 miles off Portland Blll, where the submarine sank "stern first" during exercises in the? English channel. Again divers went down into the water where they had repeatedly searched for the M-2 and this time they reported Its discovery. Naval officials of the deatroyers at the scene reported back to the admirallty, but it bas not yet been decided whether to raise the 1,950-ton underwater craft. The dlvera continued their investigation ln an effort to disclose the cause of its sinking. TEMBLORS STILL FELT IN SANTIAGO SANTIAGO DK CUBA. Keb 3.— (UP) Recurrent earth shocks o( diminishing intensity kept Santl-ago'a population in a state of terror tonight atter a day in which they had seen. ma»y of the city's great buildings crumble and fall ln earlier severe temblors. Relief, medical supplies, physl-ctana and engineers were on the way to Santiago while government officials were checking the list of dead and Injured and warning inhabitants out of danger zones. Estimates of casualltles varied from the government's "12 known dead and about 300 injured" to unofficial figures somewhat higher. The first shock, coming In the early morning, drove thousands of citizens from their homes to the streets where they gathered, praying and weeping, but ln comparative safety. The earthquake performed strange antics, one building, four stories high and naif a block long, was severed as though by a knife —half of It crumbled, the other standing. The furniture In Its rooms was grotesquely exposed to the street. MRS. MITCHELL'S 'STABLE' MOVES TO NEW HOME Cafe Opens On S. C.
