KJ ""1 ' ""V"T1' u WEBER STATE COLLEGE o o c DDEN UTAH Volume 40 Issue 26 January 18, 1980 U L Unpaid bill looms as critical CORE issue By Robert Whetten An unpaid bill has arisen as a maior issue in the continuing conflict between Weber State College and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). CORE chairwoman Shirley Thomas said Wednesday that although there are many other problems to be resolved, the confrontation is a direct result of confusion over who should pay a bill of over $3,000. College administration officials refused direct comment about the details of the case, because they claim it could damage the ongoing investigation of CORE by the regional HEW inspector general's office. Reiterate Request They reiterated that their request for investigation resulted from the suspicion that CORE had misused funds WSC work-study program director David Bigelow said he requested the investigation in December only after complaining about regularities to HEW for several months. CORE apparently initiated a black arts humanities program last June. According to the contract, financial aids was to provide 80 per cent of the students' work-study checks and Regents Two Weber State College associate degree vocational programs in food distribution and insurance sales were axed Tuesday by the Utah Board of Regents. The regents met at the Utah Technical College-Salt Lake campus and elected to endorse the higher education commissioner's recommendation that 16 programs state-wide be discontinued or consolidated and that 14 others be continued on probation. Among programs put on probation, with a review in three years, were WSC's bachelors of science program in physics and an associate degree program in carpentry and milling. The regents also directed that Weber State consolidate its bachelor of arts program in French with the bachelors degree programs in German and Spanish into a single bachelor of arts offering in foreign languages. Programs Continue The other nine Weber State vocational and academic CORE was to pay 20 per cent of the total. Marv Castill, director of the Marshall White Center provided office space for the group and offered to pay the other 20 per cent, but when the June checks came out, he said he did not have enough money to pay them. "No Idea" "I had no idea there were so many students," he said. Castill eventually paid for the June checks, but the CORE program had to find another source for the funding. When fall quarter began, the students chose to pay the 20 per cent according to Thomas, in order to keep the program alive. She also claimed she paid most of the summer precentage, but held back money as verbally agreed upon by Mr. Bigelow. In December, however, Thomas was presented with a bill of "over $3,000" to be paid immediately. She claimed when she refused to pay on grounds that she did not owe the money, the pay checks of her employees were withheld, until she threatened to file a complaint. The checks were then released. The controllers office still requested the bill be paid, but this OX programs programs considered by the board were ordered continued. These were among 40 programs across the state that were termed low producing" by the Office of the Commissioner for High Education, but were approved for continuation. Foreign language department chairman Robert Belka said the consolidation of his department is a "happy solution" and that it will cause no changes in the department structure, but instead allow the department to be considered in a more equitable way. 16 Graduate The foreign language department had 16 graduates last year with only nine faculty members, a better graduate to faculty ratio than some other WSC programs not under consideration. The higher education commission, however, conducts a study on programs averaging less than five graduates per year, and the French program alone did not meet its criteria. Belka emphasized that the department has continued to add time over a period of time. Complaint Filed During this same period a complaint was filed with the Civil Rights Office of HEW in Denver, by CORE and Weber State requested an investigation of CORE. The college's official stand has been to consider the cases as being completely separate. "It is our understanding that HEW will complete the investigation of CORE before turning to CORE'S complaint," said assistant to the president Dean Hurst Declines Comment College president Rodney H. Brady declined to comment on specifics of the case when the question arose in a recent student administrator form meeting. He indicated that discussion of the issues is not appropriate at this time because of the serious nature of the changes against CORE and the possibility of endangering the current investigation. Channel 2 television was reportedly to be on campus Thursday afternoon to talk to individuals concerned with the cases. Continued on page 11 varied classes, many of which have been successful. "Physics is now on the upswing," said physics department chairman Richard Hills, whose program will be on probation for the next three years. "We have larger enrollment in all areas and a greater number of majors," he remarked, and added he considers the decision the result of a "routine review." The physics program has had five graduates in the last three years, but Utah State had only 10 during this period, a dry spell for physics. Insurance Discontinued The insurance sales program was discontinued because it has been producing an average of two associate degree graduates a year, while the food distribution program produces six graduates annually. Weber State does not contest any of the commissioner's recommendations and has made appropriate arrangements to carry out program modifications, college president Rodney H. Brady reportedly said.

Information offered on 'Weber By Michael Tupa The one thing you don't hear on the "Weber Beeper" is a beep. What you do hear is the most newsworthy story out of Weber State College on any particular weekday. Howard Noel, formerly of KSL television and radio, and now writer at the News Bureau at WSC is responsible for the public information one hears on the "Beeper" system. This system is set up so that anyone who phones 626-6347 can hear a tape recording of Noel giving a public information news report about an event, statement or future happening pertinent to WSC. Noel puts a new item on the "Beeper" every 24 hours and after Convocation speeches uses the four-minute spot to highlight Inside Today Beeper' what the speaker said which includes taped highlights. , Like a regular reporter, Noel observes happenings an campus and when a potential news item appears, "We do a story on that subject," he said. Radio stations frequently call up to tape the report, especially the local ones, according to Noel. Non-local stations that use and tape the reports include KSL, KSOP, and KWMS. The news story that played the day this story was written concerned a new class being offered at WSC relating to Islamic culture. The actual machine is located in Noel's office, room 313 in the administration building. So if you want the news instead of a beep call the "Beeper."

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1980-01-18, Vol. 40, No. 26
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The Count My Vote initiative drive is a financial juggernaut, hauling in more than half a million dollars for its election-reform effort in less than two months.
Coupled with just over $40,000 raised last year, before the group decided to push its reform efforts for the 2014 ballot rather than 2012, Count My Vote has brought in $544,300 so far, according to its filing with the lieutenant governor's office Tuesday morning.
Count My Vote counts big donors
These 15 donors are responsible for 85 percent ($460,000 of $544,300) of the donations given to Count My Vote so far:
$100,000 » Gail Miller, Larry Miller Group owner, Count My Vote chairwoman
$35,000 » Developer Dell Loy Hansen
$25,000 » Former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt
Leavitt's longtime chief of staff, Rich McKeown

The donor list is a who's who of Utah business leaders, but is not lengthy, with the money coming from just 33 contributors who gave, on average, more than $16,000 each.
Gail Miller, the owner of the Larry Miller Group and recently appointed chairwoman of the Count My Vote effort, led the way, giving $100,000.
The Count My Vote drive — spearheaded by former governor and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt, his longtime chief of staff Rich McKeown and Kirk Jowers of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics — is looking to expand voter participation in elections by overhauling Utah's unique method of choosing political candidates.
In the current system, delegates chosen at neighborhood party caucuses pick most candidates at state or county conventions. Count My Vote is looking to offer an alternative path for candidates to get on the ballot — either by gathering enough signatures to make it to a primary or, alternatively, going to a system of direct primaries.
"Modernizing our election system is the most important civic issue facing Utahns today," McKeown, Count My Vote co-chairman, said in a statement. "We're thrilled by the overwhelming, broad-based support we've received and will now begin the process of reaching out to more Utahns who want to make their votes count."
Count My Vote organizers say the current system excludes too many people, puts too much power in the hands of a group of strident delegates, drives down turnout and results in public policy that appeals to the political extremes.
The group said it will announce soon whether it will go with the direct primaries or the signature-gathering alternative.
Whichever it pursues, money will not be an obstacle.
Developer Dell Loy Hansen gave $35,000 to the cause, and 13 donors gave $25,000 each: Leavitt; McKeown; Merit Medical; venture capitalist Dinesh Patel; car dealers Mark Miller and Garff Enterprises; developers Roger Boyer, John Price and Kem Gardner; Donald and Susan Lewon, owners of Utah Metal Works; life-sciences investor Gary Crocker; and banker Brent Beesley.
"It's a sign that there is considerable momentum behind it, that there are supporters who are actually willing to put some money behind it, and it's a great start because we're still reasonably early in the process," said Damon Cann, a professor of political science at Utah State University.
James Evans, chairman of the Utah Republican Party, which is working on an alternate plan that would reinforce the current delegate system, has said that everyone knew Count My Vote would have no trouble raising money.
"It was just understood they would have significant financial support from high-net-worth individuals," Evans said last month. "That was always understood, so that's not a surprise."
Both the Republican Party and Democratic Party have voiced their support for the current system, and both have task forces working on proposals to expand voter participation within that framework.
Fred Cox, a former state representative and member of a Republican task force, said he believes money won't matter once voters recognize that either proposal from Count My Vote will work against the average, grassroots candidate.
"I'm not sure if they have half-a-million or a million-and-a-half it will matter, people are still going to want fair elections," Cox said. "They're still going to want the ability to have incumbents replaced. They're still going to want people to not have to be rich and famous to get elected."
Count My Vote will have until next year to gather more than 100,000 signatures from registered voters — 10 percent of the total cast in the past presidential election — spread across 26 of the 29 state Senate districts.
Cann said initiative and referendum campaigns typically cost about $2 to $3 per signature, which puts the Count My Vote group in a good position to gather the signatures it will need.
"They've got enough money in the bank at this point to run an effective petition drive and get on the ballot and, if they've got those kinds of resources at this point in time, there's a good chance they'll have what it takes to run a formidable campaign when the time comes," Cann said. "I think it sends a pretty strong signal that this is an issue they'll really be able to get in front of voters in the 2014 ballot."

Articles on Vatican II - Fifty years Later
One of the more significant points of evolution in Church teaching that emerged from the Second Vatican Council was that on the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was an evolution, however, that came with considerable gnashing of teeth and a most emotional debate.
Read the rest of entry »
The authority of the college of bishops was not only one of the most important issues discussed at the Second Vatican Council, it was also among the most controversial.
In looking back on the Second Vatican Council, it appears so natural that the council met for about two months every fall from 1962 through 1965.
The first session of the Second Vatican Council in the fall of 1962 had opened a deep fissure between the Vatican's Italian-dominated Curia and the bishops and council fathers who had come from around the world.
In September 1962, shortly before the opening of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John XXIII learned that he had inoperable cancer. Throughout the first session of the council, he knew that his life was drawing to a close.
At the end of the first session of the Second Vatican Council, the council fathers went home with a mixture of exhilaration and frustration. The bishops had come to understand their authority and responsibility for helping the Church to define itself and its mission to the modern world.
In last week's article, I referred to Pope Benedict's analysis that some people have presented the Second Vatican Council as a break with the Church's past. He maintains that the council was a council of reform in continuity with the tradition.
In his memoirs, Joseph Ratzinger, a young theologian advising Cardinal Josef Frings at the Second Vatican Council and who is today Pope Benedict XVI, recalled the atmosphere in Germany when he returned home after each of the four sessions of the council:
After the great crisis over the status of the document on the Sources of Revelation that Pope John XXIII had deftly resolved, it might have been hoped that the first session of the Second Vatican Council would slowly wind down to its conclusion two and a half weeks later.
Most of the more than 2,000 fathers of the Second Vatican Council who arrived in Rome in early October 1962 for the start of the council had no personal agenda. They had not travelled extensively and had had little, if any, exposure to new theological trains of thought.

Hospital Chiefs of Staff across Tucson joined today to endorse Gov. Jan Brewer's proposition to restore and expand AHCCCS to protect hospitals, emergency rooms and the community, according to a news release.
Pima Medical Society, Doctors for Responsible Health Care and the Chiefs of Staff and Chief Medical Officers, from Northwest Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, University of Arizona Medical Center, and Tucson Medical Center stated the importance of AHCCCS expansion.
"Today our hospitals and emergency rooms are in critical condition," said Dr. Manny Arreguin, President of Doctors for Responsible Healthcare. "Many rural hospitals are on the verge of bankruptcy and Tucson area hospitals are losing tens of millions of dollars due to uncompensated care."
Dr. Charles Katzenberg, President of Pima Medical Society said hospital restoration and expansion is necessary so that emergency rooms will maintain their current levels of preparedness and can meet community needs.
"Failing to act will impact everyone in our community" said Dr. George Bradbury, Chief of Staff of St. Joseph's Hospital. He expressed the importance of maintaining cutting edge technology and patient care.
Dr. Richard Chua, Chief of Staff of Northwest Hospital said families are at risk of long emergency room waiting periods without this expansion.
"Last year, we provided nearly $47 million in uncompensated care," said Dr. Herb McReynolds, Chief of Staff of St. Mary's Hospital. "AHCCCS will ensure that every child, parent and family can obtain quality health care to meet their needs when they need it."

Gambling Alert
June 3, 1999
A federal panel studying gambling is recommending restrictions on advertising in a draft of its upcoming report to Congress. Most of the attention and recommendations are devoted to advertising by state lotteries.
This report, by the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, is likely to have enormous influence on state and federal regulators and could result in legislative proposals to place restrictions on advertising by state lotteries.
Attached are the provisions of the report pertaining to advertising by lotteries and casinos, including recommendations that states adopt a code of conduct or "best practices" for lottery advertising.
As you know, AAF joined with other advertising and media associations to hire a constitutional scholar who sent an analysis of First Amendment case law to the commission for review. As a result, the commission has refrained from recommending outright bans on advertising but does seek to ban what it refers to as "aggressive advertising strategies." The commission must present its report to Congress by June 18. After that, we expect to see legislative proposals based on these recommendations. Please contact Jeff Perlman or Clark Rector in our Government Affairs office about any legislative or regulatory proposals in your areas. You may contact them at 1-800-999-2231, email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Embarkation was quick and smooth. The food in all the restaurants was excellent, but I prefer the waiter service in the Orion, because like mentioned on previous reviews people dont wash their hands and they pick the rolls up with hands instead of tongs, I am obsessed with it because I caught norovirus a few years ago and was really ill, my husband and son never got it and we had eaten the same food, we put it down to the fact that they never used the handrails and I did, so therefore I always carry antibacterial gel with me now! Plus its awful when you go to the loo and you have to say to people "why dont you wash your hands" I have shamed a few people in the buffet! Its not Thomsons fault, its the disgusting people who have low hygiene standards. Entertainment as usual was fantastic, we prefer the silly games in the Medussa rather than the shows.
We left the ship and had a fantastic week in the Riu Buenavista. Hopefully we will be flying out to Barbados in April and doing the transatlantic crossing. We have done it twice before on the Destiny but thank god wont do it on her again. It will be amazing doing it on a fabulous ship like the dream. Cant wait!

The northern desert remains one of the least-visited areas of Peru, mainly because of its distance from Lima and Cusco, the traditional hubs of Peru's tourist trail, but it is still an invaluable destination for its distinctive landscape, wildlife, archeology and history.
Northern Peru has some excellent museums, besides the breathtaking coastal beauty of its desert environment, which itself contains the largest dry forest in the Americas, almost entirely consisting of algarrobo (carob) trees. The main cities of Chiclayo and Piura (the first Spanish settlement in Peru) are lively commercial centres, serving not only the desert coast but large areas of the Andes as well. If, like a lot of travellers, you decide to bus straight through from Trujillo to the Ecuadorian border beyond Tumbes (or vice versa) in a single journey, you'll be missing out on some unique attractions.
The coastal resorts, such as the very trendy Máncora and Punta Sal, but also Cabo Blanco and, further south La Pimentel, the beach serving Chiclayo's population, are among the best reasons for stopping: though small, they usually have at least basic facilities for travellers, and, most importantly, the ocean is warmer here than anywhere else in the country. The real jewels of the region, however, are the archeological remains, particularly the Valley of the Pyramids at Túcume and the older pyramid complex of Batán Grande, two immense pre-Inca ceremonial centres within easy reach of Chiclayo. Equally alluring is the Temple of Sipán, where some of Peru's finest gold and silver grave-goods were found within the last fifteen years.Read More

Batán Grande
Batán GrandeThe site at BATÁN GRANDE, 57km northeast of Chiclayo, incorporates over twenty pre-Inca temple pyramids within one corner of what extends to the largest dry forest in the Americas, the Bosque de Pomac. There's an interpretative centre at the main entrance, which has a small archeological museum with a scale model of the site.
Part of the beauty of this site comes from its sitting at the heart of an ancient forest, dominated by algarrobo trees, spreading out over some 13,400 hectares, a veritable oasis in the middle of the desert landscape. Over ninety percent of Peru's ancient gold artefacts are estimated to have come from here – you'll notice there are thousands of holes, dug over the centuries by treasure hunters. Batán Grande is also known to have developed its own copper-smelting works, which produced large quantities of flat copper plates – naipes – that were between 5 and 10cm long. These were believed to have been used and exported to Ecuador as a kind of monetary system.
Brief history
The Sicán culture arose to fill the void left by the demise of the Mochica culture around 700 AD, and were the driving force in the region from 800 to 1100 AD, based here at Batán Grande. Known to archeologists as the Initial Lambayeque Period, judging by the beauty and extent of the pyramids here, this era was clearly a flourishing one. Nevertheless, Batán Grande was abandoned in the twelfth century and the Sicán moved across the valley to Túcume, probably following a deluge of rains (El Niño) causing devastation, epidemics and a lack of faith in the power of the ruling elite. This fits neatly with the legend of the Sicán leader Naymlap's descendants, who evidently brought this on themselves by sacrilegious behaviour. There is also some evidence that the pyramids were deliberately burnt, supporting the latter theory.
The site
The main part of the site that you visit today was mostly built between 750 and 1250 AD, and comprises the Huaca del Oro, Huaca Rodillona, Huaca Corte and the Huaca Las Ventanas, where the famous Tumi de Oro was uncovered in 1936. The tomb of El Señor de Sicán (not to be confused with the tomb of El Señor de Sipán), on the north side of the Huaca El Loro, contained a noble with two women, two children and five golden crowns; these are exhibited in the excellent museum in nearby Ferreñafe. From the top of these pyramids you can just about make out the form of the ancient ceremonial plaza on the ground below.
Bosque de Pomac
The National Sanctuary of the Pomac Forest is the largest dry forest in western South America. A kilometre or so in from the interpretative centre you'll find the oldest algarrobo tree in the forest, the árbol milenario; over a thousand years old, its spreading, gnarled mass is still the site for pagan rituals, judging from the offerings hanging from its twisted boughs, but it's also the focus of the Fiesta de las Cruces on May 3. In the heart of the reserve lies the Bosque de Pomac, where over forty species of bird such as mockingbirds, cardinals, burrowing owls and hummingbirds have been identified, and most visitors at least see some iguanas and lizards scuttling into the undergrowth. Rarer, but still present, are wild foxes, deer and anteaters. There's also a mirador (viewing platform) in the heart of the forest, from where it's possible to make out many of the larger huacas. Although there is hostel accommodation at the interpretative centre, it's rarely available or open: you'll have to turn up and chance it; there is a camping area outside, however. The café here, selling basic snacks, is not always functioning, so bring a picnic.
TúcumeThe site of TÚCUME, also known as the Valley of the Pyramids, contains 26 adobe pyramids, many clustered around the hill of El Purgatorio (197m), also known as Cerro La Raya (after a ray fish that lives within it, according to legend), and is located some 33km north from Chiclayo. Although the ticket office closes at 4.30pm and the museum shortly after this, the site is accessible after these hours (being part of the local landscape and dissected by small paths connecting villages and homesteads), with the main sectors clearly marked by good interpretative signs.
Túcume's modern settlement, based alongside the old Panamerican Highway, lies just a couple of kilometres west of the Valley of the Pyramids, and doesn't have much to offer visitors except a handful of accommodation and eating options.
Brief history
Covering more than two hundred hectares, Túcume was occupied initially by the Sicán culture, which began building here around 1100 AD after abandoning Batán Grande. During this time, known as the Second Lambayeque Period, the focus of construction moved to Túcume where an elite controlled a complex administrative system and cleared large areas of algarrobo forest (as is still the case today in the immediate vicinity of the Valley of the Pyramids and Cerro El Purgatorio at Túcume). Reed seafaring vessels were also essential for the development of this new, powerful elite. The Sicán people were clearly expert seamen and traded along the coast as far as Ecuador, Colombia and quite probably Central America; to the east, they traded with the sierra and the jungle regions beyond. They were also expert metallurgists working with gold, silver, copper and precious stones, and their elaborate funerary masks are astonishingly vivid and beautiful.
At Túcume's peak, in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, it was probably a focus of annual pilgrimage for a large section of the coastal population, whose Sicán leaders were high priests with great agro-astrological understanding, adept administrators, a warrior elite, and expert artisans.
It wasn't long, however, before things changed, and around 1375 AD the Chimu invaded from the south. Within another hundred years the Inca had arrived, though they took some twenty years to conquer the Chimu, during which time it appears that Túcume played an important role in the ensuing military, magical and diplomatic intrigues. Afterwards, the Inca transported many Chimu warriors to remote outposts in the Andes, in order to maximize the Incas' political control and minimize the chances of rebellion. By the time the Spanish arrived, just over half a century later, Túcume's time had already passed. When the Spanish chronicler, Pedro Cieza de León, stopped by here in 1547, it was already in ruins and abandoned.
The site
Today, Túcume remains an extensive site with the labyrinthine ruins of walls and courtyards still quite visible, if slightly rain-washed by the impact of heavy El Niño weather cycles, and you can easily spend two or three hours exploring. The site has two clearly defined sectors: North is characterized by the large monumental structures; while the South has predominantly simpler structures and common graveyards. The adobe bricks utilized were loaf-shaped, each with their maker's mark, indicating control and accounting for labour and tribute to the elite. Some of the pyramids have up to seven phases of construction, showing that building went on more or less continuously.
El Purgatorio hill
There's a viewing point, reached by a twisting path that leads up El Purgatorio hill, from where you can get a good view of the whole city. This hill, circular and cone-shaped, at the very centre of the occupied area, was and still is considered by locals to be a sacred mountain. Access to it was restricted originally, though there is evidence of later Inca constructions, for example an altar site. It is still visited these days by the local curanderos, healing wizards who utilize shamanic techniques and the psychoactive San Pedro cactus in their weekly rituals, which researchers believe are similar to those of their ancestors and which could be one possible explanation for the name El Purgatorio (the place of the purge).
Museo di Sitio
The Museo de Sitio, at the entrance to the site, has exhibits relating to the work of Thor Heyerdahl, who found in Túcume the inspiration for his Kon Tiki expedition in 1946 when he sailed a raft built in the style of ancient Peruvian boats from Callao, near Lima, right across the Pacific Ocean to Polynesia, as he tried to prove a link between civilizations on either side of the Pacific. The museum also covers the work of archeologist Wendell Bennett, who in the late 1930s was the first person to scientifically excavate at the site. More esoterically, Túcume has a local reputation for magical power, and a section of the museum has been devoted to a display of local curanderismo. There's also an attractive picnic area, and a ceramic workshop where they use 2500-year-old techniques. The museum was constructed to reflect the style – known as la ramada – of colonial chapels in this region, built by local indigenous craftsmen centuries ago and using much the same materials.
Túcume Viejo
Although there are no tourist facilities as such, the Túcume ruins in the village of Túcume Viejo, less than 2km from Lambayeque, make for an interesting walk. Although an ancient site, check out the crumbling colonial adobe walls and a once-painted adobe brick gateway as well as the church, all of which have an elegant and rather grandiose feel, suggesting perhaps that the early colonists were trying to compete for attention with the Valley of the Pyramids.
The city of PIURA feels very distinct from the rest of the country, cut off to the south by the formidable Sechura Desert, and to the east by the Huancabamba mountains. Francisco Pizarro spent ten days in Piura in 1532 en route to his fateful meeting with the Inca overlord, Atahualpa, at Cajamarca. By 1534 the city, then known as San Miguel de Piura, had well over two hundred Spanish inhabitants, including the first Spanish women to arrive in Peru. As early as the 1560s, there was a flourishing trade in the excellent indigenous Tanguis cotton, and Piura today still produces a third of the nation's cotton.
The city has a strong oasis atmosphere, entirely dependent on the vagaries of the Río Piura – known colloquially since Pizarro's time as the Río Loco, or Crazy River. At only 29m above sea level, modern Piura is divided by a sometimes dry riverbed. Most of the action and all the main sights are on the west bank. With temperatures of up to 38°C (100°F) from January to March, the region is known for its particularly wide-brimmed straw sombreros, worn by everyone from the mayor to local goat-herders. You'll have plenty of opportunities to see these in Semana de Piura (first two weeks of Oct), when the town is in high spirits.
MáncoraOnce just an attractive roadside fishing port, MÁNCORA is now the most fashionable beach in Peru, attracting a surf crowd from Ecuador and Brazil. It's a highly welcome and very enjoyable stopover when travelling along the north coast, well served by public transport, and spread out along the Panamerican Highway, parallel to a beautiful sandy beach.
At the north end of the main drag, there's a plaza and just beyond this there's sometimes a street market, though only the usual clothing, shoes and food. Between here and the south end you'll find most of the town's hotels and restaurants, and a promenade with hippie artesanía stalls, selling sea-inspired crafts and jewellery.
About 30km from the Ecuadorian border and 287km north of Piura, TUMBES is usually considered a mere pit-stop for overland travellers, offering decent restaurants and better money-changing options than at the Ecuadorian frontier. However, the city has a significant history and, unlike most border settlements, is a surprisingly warm and friendly place. On top of that, it's close to many of Peru's finest beaches and two very distinct and unique forests and protected areas: the Santuario Nacional los Manglares de Tumbes and the Zona Reservado de Tumbes. The settlement of Zorritos is strung out along the seafront and Panamerican Highway some 28km south of Tumbes; as well as a long beach, this town is the point of access to some ancient, still-working natural mud baths.
The area can get very hot and humid between December and March, while the rest of the year it offers a pleasant heat, compared with much of Peru's southern coast. The sea is warm and while mosquitoes can be bothersome between September and January, they rarely make their presence felt on the beaches. Locals tend to be laidback and spontaneous, a trait reflected in the local traditions such as las cumananas, an expression in popular verse, often by song with a guitar. The verse is expected to be sparky, romantic, comical and even sad, but most importantly, spur of the moment and rap-like.
Brief history
Pizarro didn't actually set foot in Tumbes when it was first discovered by the Spanish in 1527. He preferred to cast his eyes along the Inca city's adobe walls, its carefully irrigated fields and its shining temple, from the comfort and safety of his ship. However, with the help of translators he set about learning as much as he could about Peru and the Incas during this initial contact.
The Spaniards who did go ashore made reports of such grandeur that Pizarro at first refused to believe them, sending instead the more reliable Greek cavalier, Pedro de Candia. Dubious descriptions of the temple, lined with gold and silver sheets, were confirmed by Candia, who also gave the people of Tumbes their first taste of European technological might – firing his musket to smash a wooden board to pieces. Pizarro had all the evidence he needed; he returned to Spain to obtain royal consent and support for his projected conquest.
The Tumbes people hadn't always been controlled by the Incas. The area was originally inhabited by the Tallanes, related to coastal tribes from Ecuador who are still known for their unusual lip and nose ornaments. In 1450 they were conquered for the first time – by the Chimu. Thirteen years later came the Incas, organized by Tupac Inca, who bulldozed the locals into religious, economic and even architectural conformity in order to create their most northerly coastal terminus. A fortress, temple and sun convent were built, and the town was colonized with loyal subjects from other regions – a typical Inca ploy, which they called the mitimaes system. The valley had an efficient irrigation programme, allowing them to grow, among other things, bananas, corn and squash.
Pizarro longed to add his name to the list of Tumbes' conquerors, yet after landing on the coast of Ecuador in 1532 with a royal warrant to conquer and convert, and despite the previous friendly contact, some of the Spanish were killed by natives as they tried to beach. Moreover, when they reached the city it was completely deserted with many buildings destroyed, and, more painfully for Pizarro, no sign of gold. It seems likely that Tumbes' destruction prior to Pizarro's arrival was the result of inter-tribal warfare directly related to the Inca Civil War. This, a war of succession between Atahualpa and his half-brother, the legitimate heir, Huascar, was to make Pizarro's role as conqueror a great deal easier, and he took the town of Tumbes without a struggle.
The Sicán culture
The Sicán culture
The Sicán culture, thought to descend from the Mochica, is associated with the Naymlap dynasty, based on a wide-reaching political confederacy emanating from the Lambayeque Valley between around 800 and 1300 AD. These people produced alloys of gold, silver and arsenic-copper in unprecedented scales in pre-Hispanic America. The name Sicán actually means "House of the Moon" in the Mochica language. Legend has it that a leader called Naymlap arrived by sea with a fleet of balsa boats, his own royal retinue and a green female stone idol. Naymlap set about building temples and palaces near the sea in the Lambayeque Valley. The region was then successfully governed by Naymlap's twelve grandsons, until one of them was tempted by a witch to move the green stone idol. Legend has it that this provoked a month of heavy rains and flash floods, rather like the effects of El Niño today, bringing great disease and death in its wake. Indeed, glacial ice cores analyzed in the Andes above here have indicated the likelihood of a powerful El Niño current around 1100 AD.
The Sicán civilization, like the Mochica, depended on a high level of irrigation technology. The civilization also had its own copper money and sophisticated ceramics, many of which featured an image of the flying Lord of Sicán. The main thrust of the Lord of Sicán designs is a well-dressed man, possibly Naymlap himself, with small wings, a nose like a bird's beak and, sometimes, talons rather than feet. The Sicán culture showed a marked change in its burial practices from that of the Mochica, almost certainly signifying a change in the prevalent belief in an afterlife. While the Mochica people were buried in a lying position – like the Mochica warrior in his splendid tomb at Sipán – the new Sicán style was to inter its dead in a sitting position. Excavations of Sicán sites in the last decade have also revealed such rare artefacts as 22 "tumis" (semicircular bladed ceremonial knives with an anthropomorphic figure stabbing where a handle should be).
The Sicán monetary system, the flying Lord of Sicán image and much of the culture's religious and political infrastructures were all abandoned after the dramatic environmental disasters caused by El Niño in 1100 AD. Batán Grande, the culture's largest and most impressive city, was partly washed away and a fabulous new centre, a massive city of over twenty adobe pyramids at Túcume, was constructed in the Leche Valley. This relatively short-lived culture was taken over by Chimu warriors from the south around 1370 AD, who absorbed the Lambayeque Valley, some of the Piura Valley area and about two-thirds of the Peruvian desert coast into their empire.

Are mobile phone cameras good enough to beat the best sub-£100 compact?
Until fairly recently if you wanted to take pictures you'd need a dedicated camera - with either compact or DSLR being more or less the full commercial end of the spectrum. But it's not just in the dedicated camera market where imaging technologies have been advancing...
When manufacturers first introduced cameras into mobile devices, the quality was, generally speaking, good for little more than sharing candid moments and snaps of your friends to other devices with tiny screens that wouldn't amplify the limitations of the quality. However, the new wave of recent cameraphones have advanced so much in recent years that they can, at least on paper, be seen as genuine challengers to the compact camera market.
Resolution now extends up to 12MP in some devices, though, as we know, this is by no means a guarantee of decent image quality. And it's not just still images where improvements have been seen: HD video capture is now pretty much as standard, as are dedicated camera buttons on handset bodies. Optics have also been considered in this new revolution, with partnerships formed between phone-makers and lens manufacturers such as Carl Zeiss.
With significant marketing campaigns often touting these new mobiles as the be-all and end-all of your photography needs, the question is whether all these developments have truly taken the cameraphone's imaging abilities up a notch - are they good enough to do away with the compact camera altogether?
I wish that there was a simple answer to the question 'Is the cameraphone now as good as a compact?' but it's really hard to reduce it to a yes or no answer.
Compact Canon A495 vs cameraphone Nokia N8
In our November issue of WDC we comapred the Canon A495 compact to the top camerphones. The best camerphone was the Nokia N8, beating Apple's iPhone 4 by just a fraction. Obviously with the iPhone you're able to enhance your images with apps but the Nokia N8 just edged past the iPhone 4, owing to the slightly better image quality and more dedicated camera functionality. But then how did the Nokia N8 compare to the Canon A495?
In many areas the Nokia N8 is now preferable to cameras such as the Canon PowerShot A495. For example, the N8's 3.5in TFT touchscreen dwarfs the A495's 2.5in 115k-dot LCD screen in both size and quality. Furthermore, the availability of 'apps' in the Ovi Store mean that the functionality of the N8 is readily improvable - and I wouldn't be surprised if this concept was adopted by the larger camera manufacturers in coming years.
However, for certain things you really can't get past the Canon A495. The 3x optical zoom trumps the fixed-lens digital offering of the N8, and while the camera controls of the N8 are best-in-class, the control layout of the A495 is still preferable.
Finally, and to some most importantly, is image quality. Images with the N8 are the best I've seen from a cameraphone to date, but for fine detail, colour and tonal range the A495 wins it. So, if you're looking for the best photos and the best camera experience, you'd best stick to the compact - though for some the cameraphone is a stronger option than ever, if not the winner.

Wonderful family getaway
This is a perfect home for a family getaway. It is a beautiful home with spectacular views of the Rockies. Its location is amazing for walking through the area and close enough to walk to the gondola. Perfect for mountain bikers and hikers in the summer. The kitchen was lovely to work in and we had no complaints other than a lack of garbage bags and dishwashing detergent on site. (The local contact was very difficult to reach and so we had to use our creativity for the garbage, and wash dishes by hand for nearly the whole time, which ended up feeling like a lot of work for our group!) The one disappointment was that the deck on the front was not accessible via the front double doors (as seen) and that there was no deck furniture to use, even if we walked around on the outside to access the deck. Since the weather on the one day was so perfect, it would have been nice to be able to use the deck. However, that being said, the interior was lovely and the dining area was big enough to allow us to sit at the table together. Mary Beth answered any questions we had prior to our trip there and was prompt, courteous and very professional. We left everything in order and clean, and our deposit was returned immediately. I would rate it 8 out of 10. We would definitely return.
Unbelievable place!
The place was amazing, and we had a great time despite poor ski conditions. It is in a great location, and had everything a large group of up to 10 could want.

Celestial Seasonings introduced the goodness of natural antioxidant green tea to millions of people by finding the perfect balance of great taste and good health. They've continued this tradition of innovation by infusing authentic green teas with delicate Bai Mu Dan white tea to create even smoother, more full-flavored blends.
Green tea and white tea are both good for your body because they naturally contain potent antioxidants called polyphenols.

By taming free radicals, the antioxidants found in Celestial Seasonings green teas help you maintain your body's good health.
In 1969, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs founded Celestial Seasonings upon the belief that their flavorful, all-natural herbal teas could help people live healthier lives. They harvested fresh herbs from the Rocky Mountains by hand, and then dried, blended and packaged them in hand-sewn muslin bags to be sold at local health food stores. By staying committed to their vision, the founders of Celestial Seasonings turned their cottage industry into an almost overnight success.
Today, Celestial Seasonings is the largest specialty tea manufacturer in North America. They serve more than 1.6 billion cups of tea every year, and source more than 100 different ingredients from over 35 countries to create their delicious, all-natural herbal, green, red, white, chai and wellness teas.

August 1, 2009
In view of recent untrustworthy behavior on the part of businesses, ranging from the Enron scandal of 2001 to the more recent Madoff and Stanford Financial schemes, people have more reasons than ever to be distrustful of businesses and the people who run them. The authors of a new special report about trust by the Arthur W. Page Society and the Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics, however, would have us believe that the erosion of trust is a widespread and broad-ranging phenomenon that extends well beyond the private sector.
The comprehensive and carefully written study, "The Dynamics of Public Trust in Business: Emerging Opportunities for Leaders," says in sum that trust (or its absence) affects everything in our economy from employee performance to customer perceptions, to the willingness of people to loan money to one another.
Citing 2008 survey data, the study authors note that "only 17 percent of Americans trust government to do the right thing most or all of the time," and that 52 percent of Americans agreed with the statement that "quite a few government officials are crooked." What's wrong with those views? First, they're the product of survey samples that ask narrowly framed questions regarding topics that are prominent in the news media. They're subject to change without notice and they come without a price. That is to say, it costs the respondent nothing to express his or her opinion.
The fact is, most government officials are not crooked, and most governments (from federal to municipal) do the right thing most of the time. To assert that the public simply doesn't trust anyone these days is an overstatement that ignores a recent, fairly important trend: trust has shifted from business to government. For a variety of reasons, people now believe that government at all levels ought to be paying closer attention to the banking profession, to the stock market, to the food supply, to the automobile industry and more.
In the near term, that may prompt fewer risky loans and safer food, but it may also create a regulatory and cost structure that makes it more difficult for businesses to compete on an even footing in a global economy.
Ronald Reagan famously said in the 1980s, "Government isn't the solution to the problem. Government is the problem." The three decades that followed were characterized by unfettered, de-regulated, and unimpeded competitors in the marketplace. Absent regulation, many of them took the opportunity to re-package sub-prime mortgage loans, credit default swaps, and other little-understood instruments, take the profit and shift the risk to someone else. When the loans went sour, bankers turned to the federal treasury for help. Is it any wonder the public (and the taxpayer) is now distrustful of people who claim the marketplace is self-regulating?
The most significant event in recent years was the November 2008 election, in which the American voter said, "Enough." That display of political behavior is clear evidence that those who wanted less government, less regulation, and fewer social programs have changed their minds. Even now, five months into the Obama presidency and 10 months into a dismal economic spiral, confidence and trust in the new administration are in the low- to mid-60s. Compare that with numbers in the mid-20s for the previous administration.
"Trust is an important lubricant of a social system," writes the Nobel Laureate economist Kenneth Arrow. "It is extremely efficient; it saves a lot of trouble to have a fair degree of reliance upon other people's word." And the time, effort, and investment required to regain trust, once it's lost, are substantial.

An organization charged with reviving Miami-Dades battered economy finds itself with some bruises, too.
The Beacon Council, a non-profit that relies on tax dollars, is contending with a threat to its public funding, lukewarm support from County Hall and a rift within its own leadership. CEO Frank Nero faces a revolt from some board members, and the full board this month opted not to pass a motion expressing confidence in the Beacon Councils management, according to several participants.
Not everybody loves Frank, said Joseph Pallot, the groups volunteer chairman and general counsel at Heico Corp. But Pallot said Nero has performed well as the head of an organization that receives about $4 million a year in Miami-Dade taxes. Franks economic-development skills are second to none.
Nero, a former New Jersey municipal leader who earns about $400,000 a year, declined to comment. He has tussled with board members and elected officials in the past. But he now faces pressure on multiple fronts, with Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez wanting to revamp the countys economic-development strategy, commissioners wanting to take away $1 million in tax funding and give it to local businesses, and some Beacon board members pushing for a change at the top.
We have issues with the Beacon Council, Gimenez said this week in an interview. The commission also apparently has issues with the Beacon Council. Were trying to work with them as best that we can.
In his comments, Gimenez also said his concern was with the countys disjointed approach to economic development, saying, Id like to kind of bring that all together.
The Beacon Councils primary mission is to recruit companies to Miami-Dade, serving as a go-between among corporate relocation firms and local agencies and helping line-up incentives and subsidies from county and state pools of money. It also pursues various economic efforts and promotions, including a year-long One Community One Goal study of how to grow the economy, and next months awards fundraising lunch aboard a cruise ship at Port Miami.
In the budget year that ended in September 2011, the Beacon Council received about $1.6 million from businesses paying dues, events and other private-sector sources, according to the most recent fianancial statement available.
Last year, the Beacon Council said it helped 27 businesses either expand in or move to Miami-Dade, accounting for about 2,000 new jobs. Among the big companies it helped land incentives for was the new cable network Univision is forming with the ABC national network in Doral.
But the Beacon Councils public dollars have proved a ripe target, with commissioners complaining the money goes to recruit large companies to town that then compete with constituents smaller businesses.
Combined, the Beacon Councils top eight executives make about $1.5 million a year, and during the recession the group spent about $1.5 million on a 2009 renovation of its rented Brickell Avenue office, according to tax filings and financial statement.
When youre trying to bring a CEO to Miami, you have to play the part that youre a cosmopolitan, global city, said Ana Acle-Menendez, head of communications for the Beacon Council. That was the idea behind the renovation.
She said the actual cost of construction was about $300,000 less thanks to a donation by a member and a landlord rebate. She also said the renovation saved the organization money by creating conference space; board meetings used to cost $15,000 each when the organization had to hold them in rented locations. The board had 200 people then; now it has about 60.
On Jan. 23, county commissioners unanimously approved a resolution urging the Beacon Council to take $1 million of its $4 million in public funding and award it directly to small businesses in the form of mom-and-pop grants. The vote followed a testy session in October when Commissioner Lynda Bell said she was treated rudely and disrespectfully in a private meeting with Nero and Pallot. She proposed renegotiating the countys contract with the Beacon Council, though no action has been taken.
At the board meeting after the commissions Jan. 23 vote, one Beacon Council director offered a motion to support the Beacon Council and its management, Pallot said. Discussion followed, and the board then decided not to vote. Pallot declined to release minutes of the meeting, but said the board thought the motion would not be helpful with commissioners. Board member Jack Lowell, a Nero critic, agreed.
All it was going to do was throw gasoline on the fire with the commission, Lowell said. There are enough problems with some of the commissioners that you dont need to make things worse.
In the boardroom, Neros high-profile opposition to bringing casino resorts to downtown Miami helped ratchet up divisions over his performance, according to board members on both sides of the argument. When the gambling debate heated up in the fall of 2011, Nero was the first senior Miami-Dade official to warn against damage to the economy from casino resorts, which he called vacuum cleaners that could have a chilling effect on Miamis downtown revival.
The comments reportedly angered Gimenez, who had been supportive of a proposal by Malaysias Genting Group to build a casino resort on the site of The Miami Heralds downtown Miami headquarters. Alan Becker, Pallots predecessor as the Beacon chairman, suggested Wednesday that Neros critics are motivated by gambling interests.
If you speak to anybody who is not a supporter of Frank, ask them have you or your company been provided anything of value or promised anything of value from any of the major players in the gaming debate? said Becker, whose firms clients include racetrack casinos. If they said no, I think some of them would be lying.
His pointed comments capture the tension roiling the Beacon Councils board, with past chairs this week sniping at each other over Neros performance.
Beckers racetrack clients faced a severe threat from Gentings proposed casino resort. Lowell, a commercial broker, supported Genting while serving as the Beacon chair in 2011, flying to Singapore at Gentings expense to views its operations there. He said he also served as a paid consultant for the company during a historic preservation fight involving the Herald building.
Becker declined to say if he was referring to Lowell in his comments, but Lowell said the reference was obvious. Lowell criticized Becker for presiding over a contract extension for Nero last year without a more thorough vetting of compensation and other issues by the board.
Alan basically engineered Franks three-year renewal, Lowell said. It was not my preference.
Miami Herald staff writers Patricia Mazzei and Chuck Rabin contributed to this report.

Often, Etsy has iPad covers that are off the beaten path.
If you don't know about Etsy – it's an online marketplace for people to sell their own creations.
And if you like to be original, then it's the perfect place for you.
I started to troll Etsy awhile ago.
One day I woke up and said – "if you've seen one iPad case, you've seen them all". Or something of that nature.
That's when I knew, that mass production had me jaded – and it was time to see what else I could find.
Today, because it's the weekend, I thought I would share a few interesting items that caught my eye.
This iPad bag has a rugged, classy look that fits with just about any outfit.
It's campy, it's fun – and I want one.
You can find it, and others like it, in the shop of Satchel & Page.
Per the description, it even has a padded insert to keep your iPad safe and sound.
Think it's wood?
Well, think again.
This is a skin for the original iPad – 1st generation.
But it looks soooooo real.
Fool your friends – fool yourself.
There is a panel to cover the black edge around the front too.
This gorgeous iPad skin can be found in the iCarbons Etsy shop.
I am too weak of heart to connect with the great beyond, but I give this Ouija Board iPad case an A for originality.
It is hand crafted from leather and has a comfortable, worn look that I like.
Luckily, the Joe V. Leather Etsy Shop has lots of other original designs to choose from like an Ace of Spades and a doctor's eye chart.
And that is about all the time that I have to be browsing at Etsy – I really could spend all day.
Have you made any great Etsy finds lately?

A bill passed by the House of Delegates would mandate bullet-proof vests for all sheriff's deputies, effective in July.
House Bill 2717 was introduced by Delegate Bob Ashley, R-Roane, whose constituent was injured in a roadside shootout that left two West Virginia State Troopers dead. Roane County Sheriff's Deputy John Westfall was wearing body armor, which prevented a bullet from penetrating his torso. He did sustain other injuries in the shooting.
House Bill 2717 calls for the sheriff of each county to provide personal body armor, or ballistic resistant vests, to each certified deputy on or within a reasonable time after July 1. Deputies who are not yet certified but meet the requirements for certification also must be issued a vest on or within a reasonable amount of time after he or she is issued certification.
According to language in the bill, the vest must meet the minimum performance standards for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor as established by Standards and Testing Program under the U.S. Department of Justice.
The vests would be paid for by the counties, but the bill encourages county commissions and sheriff's departments to seek federal funds where applicable.
The bill passed the House unanimously, and it will now go to the Senate.

When you're looking for quality medical care for yourself and your family, consider the experts who keep the Chicago Bulls on their feet.
The Chicago Bulls selected Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush to be their team physicians, and Rush University Medical Center is the preferred medical center for the team.
An orthopedics specialist and an internal medicine specialist attend each of the Bulls home games. The team physicians also provide care for visiting team players, coaches and referees.
"I wanted our players, staff and front office personnel to have the absolute best medical expertise available," said Fred Tedeschi, head athletic trainer for the Chicago Bulls. "Our team's health is paramount to success on the court and selecting a superior medical team was of the utmost importance. I am confident that the staff of Midwest Orthopaedics and Rush University Medical Center will provide our organization with the ultimate health care."
Brian Cole, MD, a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon, will serve as head team physician for the Bulls. His colleagues Kathleen M. Weber, MD, Bernard R. Bach, Jr., MD, Charles A. Bush-Joseph, MD, Mark Cohen, MD, John Fernandez, MD, George Holmes, Jr., MD, Simon Lee, MD, Shane Nho, MD, Gregory P. Nicholson, MD, Anthony A. Romeo, MD, and Nikhil Verma, MD, serve as co-team physicians. Cole, Bach, Bush-Joseph, Cohen, Fernandez, Holmes, Lee, Nho, Nicholson, Romeo and Verma are orthopedic surgeons. Weber is board-certified in internal medicine and sports medicine. Rounding out the medical team for the Bulls are Scott Palmer, MD, and William Kehoe, MD, internal medicine specialists at Rush. Team ophthalmologists are David Orth, MD, and Jack Cohen, MD.
"We're there to work with Fred Tedeschi to make sure the Bulls players are in optimal condition, and that if an injury does occur, we can provide an accurate, rapid diagnosis and initial care to minimize time off the court," Cole says.
Rush University Medical Center's orthopedics program has repeatedly been ranked higher than any other orthopedics program in Illinois according to U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Hospitals" listing. Rush also has one of the top sports medicine residency and fellowship training programs in the country.
