Agrarian Revolt in the Sierra of Chihuahua
Elizabeth A. Henson
On September 23, 1965, several years of protest, including land invasions, strikes, sit-ins, and cross-country marches, culminated in an armed attack on an army base located in the remote town of Madera, Chihuahua, in northern Mexico. Protesters had demanded that the state comply with land reform guarantees provided for by the constitution of Mexico; students from the normal schools joined in and raised their own demands. Instead of negotiating partial reforms, the state governor called out troops to burnish his reputation as an anti-communist crusader. Nominally organized in the Unión General de Obreros y Campesinos de México, movement leaders broke with national directives and encouraged "direct action" and illegal occupations, while the normalistas acted within a student activist tradition rooted in the Marxism of the 1930s. The agrarian demands came from landless workers in an agricultural valley planted in cotton, whose fortunes were linked to the world market and from dispossessed smallholders in the mountainous backlands now claimed by timber export companies. This mid-century modernization of land use had its counterpart in the protestors' emulation of the Cuban revolution and their attempt to apply Che's theory of guerrilla warfare. As the governor's recalcitrance radicalized the movement, small groups undertook sporadic armed actions in the mountains, disarming forces sent after them. Other leaders moved to Mexico City to avoid arrest, undergo military training, and attempt to gather support; they returned to Chihuahua with the plan to attack the army base. Despite its spectacular failure, the event has been hailed as Mexico's first socialist guerrilla struggle and served as inspiration for the dirty war of the 1970s, when armed revolutionaries fought the armed power of the state. Attention to its armed component has eclipsed the movement's underlying basis, which was equally innovative and had lasting influence on Mexican social protest.
Architecture in Mexico City, 1940–1980
Kathryn E. O'Rourke
Architecture in Mexico City in the mid-20th century was shaped by rapid economic and urban growth, demographic change, new construction technologies, and politics. Architects adapted modernist idioms and those that evoked historical precedents for new purposes. Key figures who had begun practice earlier in the century, including Mario Pani, Juan O'Gorman, José Villagrán García, and Luis Barragán, designed major new works and strongly influenced the profession, even as a new generation led by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Ricardo Legorreta, and Teodoro González de Léon came of age. As they had been since the 1920s, public patrons were the most important clients of modern buildings, which often addressed needs for better housing, education, and health care. The period also saw the rise of modern suburbs and the evolution of the single-family house, as well as the creation of major buildings for increasingly important cultural institutions, especially museums.
As they had in preceding decades, architects used the non-architectural arts, particularly painting, to distinguish their works. The legacy of the Mexican muralist movement was most evident on the facades of major buildings in the new University City, where the influence of international modernist planning principles was also striking. In 1968 Mexico City hosted the Olympics, for which architects, planners, and designers created a network of buildings and images that functioned interdependently to present Mexico as cosmopolitan and historically rooted in its indigenous history. Sprawl and pollution worsened in the 1970s, as the capital came to be dominated by buildings that were not designed by architects. While some observers questioned the relevance of architecture in the face of seemingly unstoppable and uncontrollable growth, talented young architects responded with buildings notable for their monumentality, mass, and sophisticated engagement with historical types.
The Autonomous Department of Press and Publicity (Departamento Autónomo de Prensa y Publicidad)
Ana Laura de la Torre
The Autonomous Department of Press and Publicity (DAPP) created by Lazaro Cardenas's administration responded to the need for a fixed ideological framework that would allow for the construction of a modern, prosperous, and politically unified nation based on the Six-Year Plan. The materials produced by the DAPP designated collective identities; defined relations between the government and its enemies, rivals and allies; preserved and molded past memories, and sought to project fears and hopes into the future. The department used a variety of mass media technology to produce messages with the aim of controlling criticism of the regime, shaping public attitudes, generating a collective "us," and effecting change in the thoughts and actions of the public. The continuous use of the media was a response of the Cardenista administration to the constant rejection that its public policies generated, either because they affected particular economic interests or because they were considered as an affront to the way of thinking of various social sectors, particularly those identified with Catholicism. President Cárdenas and his associates perceived that they were a besieged and criticized administration, both inside and outside the country. Hence, they deemed it essential to start up a strong propaganda apparatus in order to reverse the opposition and generate supporters. Its creation is framed by the efforts taken by various governments during the 1930s that viewed propaganda as an effective tool for producing political consensus, generating feelings of national unity, and changing public habits.
Aztec Apocalypse, 1519–1521
Ross Hassig
The Conquest of Mexico is typically explained in terms of European military superiority, and although this offered an advantage to the forces arrayed against the Aztecs, it was merely part of a broader picture required to understand their downfall. Indigenous political circumstances played the key role in the Conquest, which can best be understood as an Indian victory over other Indians. The Spaniards represented less a conquering force, with which other native groups opportunistically allied, than an opportunity for groups opposed to the Aztecs to employ the relatively minor Spanish forces to multiply their own superior military strength. The Spaniards recognized their own pivotal role and shifted much of the timing of the conquest to sustain it. Other circumstances of the Spanish arrival, including the massive population loss from the accompanying smallpox, did play a role, but one that was primarily understood and used against the Aztecs by the allied Indians. So ultimately, the Conquest can be best understood as an Indian victory over other Indians, but with the Spaniards manipulating the outcome to ultimately win the peace.
Benito Juárez and Liberalism
Guy Thomson
Benito Juárez was born on March 21, 1806, in San Pablo Guelatao, a Zapotec-speaking hamlet in Sierra de Ixtlán (renamed the Sierra de Juárez on July 30, 1857) in Mexico's southeastern state of Oaxaca. He died in the National Palace on July 18, 1872, as President of the Republic, an office he had occupied since January 1858, when, as President of the Supreme Court, he had succeeded the moderate Liberal Ignacio Comonfort, who had been driven into exile by a Conservative military revolt. During his fifteen years as president, a younger generation of Liberals, few of whom could remember the revolution of Independence (1808–1821), radically transformed Mexico's laws and institutions. In October 1855, when Juárez was the minister of justice in the newly formed Liberal government, he implemented the "Law of Restriction of Corporate Privileges," which is credited with setting in motion the wider Reform movement.
Between 1855 and 1860, in what was at the time called La Revolución but soon became known as La Reforma (the Reformation), Mexico moved from being a "Catholic Nation," in which many of the social and racial hierarchies and corporate privileges of colonial rule still held sway, to becoming a secular federal republic regulated by a liberal constitution based on the sovereignty of the people and equality before the law, reducing the legal immunities and special privileges of the army and the Catholic Church and establishing a single system of civil law that guaranteed a wide range of freedoms and social rights. In the face of a Conservative uprising in January 1858, which broadened into the Three Years' War (1858–1861), Liberals pressed ahead with an ambitious project of religious and civil disentailment (desamortización) that abolished corporate or communal property in favor of individual private ownership. The Liberal revolution was further strengthened in 1859 by the "Laws of Reform," which ordered the wholesale nationalization of Church wealth and the closure of nunneries and monasteries; barred Roman Catholicism, the national religion until 1857, along with any other religion, from external manifestations of the cult; and established a civil registry and a strict separation of church and state.
Conservatives, undeterred by their defeat in the Battle of Calpulalpan, in December 1860, and in spite of Juárez receiving his first full popular mandate in the elections of March 1861, redoubled their resistance to the Reform by encouraging Napoleon III's colonial ambitions, efforts that culminated in January 1862 in the occupation of Veracruz by forces from France, Britain, and Spain and the imposition of Maximilian Habsburg as emperor in April 1864. Juárez now led the defense of the Liberal republic on two fronts, and he retreated to northern Mexico, from where he coordinated resistance to the Empire.
Following the defeat of the Second Empire, which culminated in the execution of Maximilian alongside the principal Conservative generals at Querétaro on June 19, 1867, Juárez returned to the national capital wearing the twin laurels of Liberal law giver and savior of the nation. Although at his death, in 1872, he faced many enemies, especially in the Liberal camp, Juárez soon became enshrined as Liberal Mexico's undisputed founding father and moral guide, much in the mold of his contemporaries Giuseppe Garibaldi and Abraham Lincoln. Under his leadership, liberalism had become insolubly fused with patriotism in the republican victory over European monarchy—Mexico's second revolution of independence. La Reforma is recognized as a major watershed in Mexico's history on a par with the revolution of Independence from Spain and the Revolution of 1910–1917.
Carlos Salinas de Gortari and His Legacy
Stephen D. Morris
Mexico's President Carlos Salinas de Gortari of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) came to power amidst crisis and controversy in 1988. Using a variety of old and new strategies and innate political skill, he largely surmounted the political crisis, gaining popularity and legitimacy for himself and support for the PRI, handing power off to his hand-picked successor six years later. During his six-year term, he implemented a series of neoliberal reforms, privatized state-owned enterprises, and overhauled and restructured the Mexican economy, turning the nation into a leading manufacturing exporter and one of the most open economies in the world. This included the historic signing of a free trade agreement with Canada and the United States in 1992. Yet many of the gains and achievements were tarnished by events in 1994. In the aftermath, Salinas would become one of the most reviled presidents in Mexican history.
Caste Wars in Yucatán
Michele McArdle Stephens
The Caste Wars of the Yucatán tore apart the peninsula between 1847 and 1901. While the violence was not constant throughout the more than five decades between the start and conclusion of the war itself, the threat of rebel hostilities was ever present. Scholars have debated the origins of the war for many decades, with most recent academic treatments focusing on heavy tax burdens, poor working conditions for Yucatán's peasantry, and the loss of land that occurred during the second half of the century. Tensions between political leaders exacerbated relations with the Mayas in particular and the peasantry more generally. The emergence of the breakaway state of Chan Santa Cruz, in the southeastern part of Yucatán, allowed rebel forces to coalesce between 1850 and the early 1870s. Here, a "Speaking Cross" oracle gave direction to the rebellious Mayas, who crushed their enemies and exacted revenge against those who would not support their cause. The emergence of Porfirio Díaz as President of Mexico in 1876 led to a gradual "reconquest" of the areas held by the cruzob, or "people of the Cross." By 1901, the Mexican military ended the Caste Wars, though violent episodes still marred Yucatán until the early 1930s.
Catholicism in Mexico, 1910 to the Present
Matthew Butler
The history of Mexican Catholicism between 1910 and 2010 was one of successive conflict and compromise with the state, latterly coupled with increased concern about religious pluralism, secularization, and divisions of both style and theological and ecclesiological substance within Catholicism. The Mexican Revolution (1910–1920) represented a particular threat to the church, which was identified by many revolutionaries as an institution allied to the old regime, and hence persecuted. In the same period, and until 1929, the church was openly committed to implementing its own social and political project in competition with the state. Religious conflict reached a tragic peak in the 1920s and 1930s, as revolutionary anticlericals waged political and cultural campaigns against the church, provoking both passive and armed resistance by Catholics. With some exceptions, the period from the late 1930s to the late 1960s was one of comparative church–state conciliation, and a period of institutional collaboration that began when both institutions stood down their militant cadres in the 1930s. In subsequent decades, an over-clericalized and socially conservative church and a theoretically revolutionary but undemocratic state made common cause around the poles of civic and Catholic nationalism, economic stability, and anti-communism. From the later 1960s, however, the church grew increasingly vocal as a critical interlocutor of the state, in terms of both the Institutional Revolutionary Party's failing socioeconomic model and, especially in the 1980s, its authoritarian political practices. In places, radical strains of Liberation Theology helped to guide indigenous and urban protests against the regime, while also posing an internal, ecclesial problem for the church itself. The rise of economic neoliberalism and qualified democracy from the 1980s onward, as well as the political reorientation of Catholicism under the papacy of John Paul II, saw the church assume a frankly intransigent position, but one that was significantly appeased by the 1992 constitutional reforms that restored the church's legal personality. After 1992, the church gained in political prominence but lost social relevance. Should the church cleave to an unofficial corporatist relationship with a generally supportive state in the face of rising religious competition? Should Catholics assert their newfound freedoms more independently in a maturing lay regime? A cursory view of Catholicism's religious landscape today reveals that the tension between more horizontal and vertical expressions of Catholicism remains unresolved. Catholics are to be found in the van of rural self-defense movements, leading transnational civic protests against judicial impunity, and decrying the abuses suffered by Central American migrants at the hands of border vigilantes. At the same time, the mainstream church seeks official preferment of Catholicism by the state and lends moral support to the PRI and PAN parties alike.
Chiapas and the Zapatista National Liberation Army
Marco Estrada-Saavedra
The 1994 Zapatista uprising in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas was the culmination of centuries of repression and exploitation of the country's indigenous minority at the hands of its Spanish and mestizo leaders and the landed elite. The Liberal Reform initiated in 1854, followed by the "modernizing" policies of President Porfirio Díaz (1877–1880; 1884–1911), and then the revolution that ousted him, would strengthen and institutionalize a new set of institutional frameworks, discourses, and practices that lasted through the 20th century. The Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Zapatista National Liberation Army, or EZLN) emerged from a history of complex and volatile relationships between indigenous peoples of the impoverished state and its economic and political elite, relationships that began a process of redefinition in the 1950s. Zapatismo is one of the expressions of indigenous and working-class struggles in this social and historical context. It can be distinguished from other rural and indigenous movements by its repudiation of the strategies of protest and negotiation within an institutional framework, its adoption of armed struggle, and its rejection of the conventional objectives of land and commercial agricultural production in favor of territorial autonomy and de facto self-government.
Chin Chun Chan: The Zarzuela as an Ethnic and Technological Farce
Jacqueline Avila
Chin Chun Chan premiered at the Teatro Principal in Mexico City on April 9, 1904, to an enthusiastic audience. The first Mexican zarzuela written by José F. Elizondo and Rafael Medina with music by Luis G. Jordá initiated a new current in Mexican lyric theater that moved away from the Spanish zarzuelas and the operas popular during the Porfiriato: the teatro de revistas, or revistas. With the subtitle of "A Chinese Conflict in One Act and Three Scenes," Chin Chun Chan is a story about mistaken identity in which a fed-up man attempts to escape his jealous partner by disguising himself as a Chinese dignitary at a grand hotel in Mexico City. Chin Chun Chan was a significant move away from Spanish productions, attempting to create a local entertainment that could be defined as Mexican through popular characters, dialogues, music, and colloquialisms. This formula set the stage for later revistas particularly during the armed struggle of the Revolution (1910–1920). Through a closer examination of the music numbers and the dialogue, Chin Chun Chan offers new readings on the position of ethnicity, nationalism, and sexuality during this contemporary period of political and social instability and initiates an important period in Mexican theatrical history.

It's not new, but the Kurtomathrips, which has not been an identified cotton pest for decades, is showing up in "extremely high numbers," in the Texas Southern Plains.
Texas AgriLife Extension entomologist David Kern says the thrips species, which was identified in Arizona back in the 1920s, is small, about the size of spider mites, and can "cause damage similar to spider mites.
"We can control them," he says. "It's just a matter of picking them up."
Kerns says he's not certain how badly Kurtomathrips would damage healthy cotton, but "we can see injury on cotton with limited water." And that describes a lot of cotton acreage in the Texas High Plains this summer
Manda Anderson, Extension integrated pest management specialist in Gaines County, has received several calls regarding control options for Kurtomathrips infested fields.
"They have been identified in fields in Gaines County. One field is approximately eight miles west of Seminole and the other field is in far northwestern Gaines County. They have also been reported in Lubbock County and far northwestern Yoakum County. This pest is widely distributed and could be found in any field. The highest populations tend to be in an area of a field with a skippy stand, drought stressed, or suffering due to other factors."
Growers do have control options.
"Scott Russell, Extension IPM agent for Terry and Yoakum Counties, has come up with some pointers to help producers determine whether or not an insecticide application is justified," Anderson says.
According to Russell, points to consider in making the decision to treat include:
- What is the yield potential of the field? Low yielding fields (less than 500 pounds per acre) may not recover the economic input of an insecticide application. Also consider other inputs up to this point, plus harvest costs. The chemical costs range from $2.00 to $6.00 per acre. Application costs also must be counted. The yield protected must cover this cost.
- What is the stage of growth of the cotton? If bolls are mature—Cut the boll open and determine if seeds have well defined cotyledons and seed coat versus those which are watery seeds—they may not be significantly damaged by the defoliation. If there are numerous bolls left to mature, treatment may be justified. These immature bolls should yield enough to cover treatment costs (as in point number 1 above).
- Will you utilize harvest aids or not? If you are planning to use harvest aids, you'll need some leaf surface area to absorb the materials.
Anderson says several insecticides are effective on the pests. Results from a recent trial show Intruder (Acetamiprid), Orthene (Acephate), and Trimax Pro (Imidacloprid) had the greatest impact on the Kurtomathripsat five days after treatment.
"The untreated plots still had approximately 390 thrips per five leaves," she says. "This is a very destructive pest. Once a plant is infested, the thrips will keep feeding and reproducing on that same plant, even though the plant appears to have no more substance for the thrips to feed on and it is completely destroyed. It is truly amazing, the number of thrips that we are finding on dead looking plants."
Growers interested in learning more about the pest may attend a turn-row meeting at 10 a.m. Aug. 24 at CR 108 and Hwy 62/385 Intersection (approximately three miles north of Seminole). The field is on the south side of Wallach Concrete.
"We will be looking at a field infested with Kurtomathrips during this short meeting," Anderson says. "Please feel free to contact Scott or me if you have any questions."

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced loans and grants for more than 500 agricultural producers and rural small businesses this month to implement renewable energy and energy-efficiency measures.
"These projects are in addition to the more than 900 renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects recently announced during the President's Rural Economic Forum," Secretary Vilsack said.
The grants and loan guarantees are provided through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), a 2008 Farm Bill initiative. REAP offers funds for farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy-efficiency improvements. These funds leverage other funding sources for small businesses. USDA has announced more than $27 million in energy grants and guaranteed loans for projects to date.
United Cooperative, Beaver Dam, WI, is one of the businesses that was selected to receive a REAP grant. This $448,500 will help with the installation cost of 33 ethanol flex-fuel dispensers and 17 biodiesel dispensers. United Cooperative is a full-service cooperative providing feed, grain, agronomy and energy products to farmers and consumers in south-central Wisconsin.
The Obama administration has set a goal of making 10,000 new flex-fuel pumps available to America's drivers within the next five years — five times today's level. USDA is working to support the research, investment and infrastructure necessary to build a nationwide biofuels industry that creates jobs in every corner of the country.
Funding of each award is contingent upon the recipient meeting the conditions of the grant or loan agreement. Grants can finance up to 25% of a project's cost, not to exceed $500,000 for renewable and $250,000 for efficiency.

Liberal Education Program (LEP)
What do you need to be successful in today's society, and in the future? What does it take to become an engaged citizen in the world?
These are big questions, but they are the kinds of questions you will begin to think about as you embark upon your college experience.
We know the world through words, numbers, sound, and images. We need to be able to think critically about them, and to understand the new technologies that bring them to us. Without these tools -- critical thinking and a grasp of technology -- we can't be competitive in today's workplace.
With students' needs in mind, the faculty at Southern Connecticut State University has developed a new curriculum that will prepare SCSU undergraduates for the 21st century. The Liberal Education Program, or LEP, will be required for all students entering the university in fall 2011. Building on what you've learned in school so far, the LEP will take you where you need to go to be successful as a college student and beyond.
How Does the LEP Relate to the Major?
Students need a wide and deep foundation upon which to build a more specialized major. In today's world, it's especially important that we're prepared in broad and rich ways in order to make a life as well as make a living. The LEP complements the major and establishes the importance of a balanced education for making a living and making a life in a constantly changing world.
The LEP is sequential, based on building blocks known as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3.
Here's how it works:
Tier 1
Academic expectations are different in college than they are in high school. Tier 1 builds a college-level foundation so that you have the skills you need to succeed in your university courses. In your Tier 1 courses, you'll strengthen your quantitative and literacy skills -- skills you will need in any career you choose to pursue.
Tier 2
Areas of knowledge prepare students for active citizenry and serve as the basis for lifelong learning. Tier 2 courses continue to develop and reinforce the skills introduced in Tier 1.
Tier 3
The LEP Capstone Seminar integrates your skills (Tier 1) and areas of knowledge and experience (Tier 2) with discussions of values. It addresses both the role of values in decision-making and relationships among the values. Particular focus is on a substantial contemporary issue and how values inform one's perspective on the issue. The course emphasizes all of the skills you've acquired, but especially critical thinking with analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The LEP seminar allows students to integrate their liberal education learning experiences and may involve a community or service component.
Why a Liberal Education Program?
Southern is not unique in developing a Liberal Education Program for its students -- many forward-thinking universities in the United States are creating similar programs as they consider what their students will need to succeed after graduation.
The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) sees liberal education as "a philosophy of education that empowers individuals with broad knowledge and transferable skills, and a strong sense of value, ethics, and civic engagement."
Southern believes that such an education can be transformative and empowering as well as practical. A curriculum based on this philosophy is a curriculum for a new generation!

My choice for this week is the actor and director Clint Eastwood.
I saw him first in his directorial début, the thriller Play Misty For Me, a somewhat nasty film but also a scarily realistic portrait of a man completely out of his depth. After that I was hooked and went on to watch as many of his films as I could get my hands on. I even had a full-sized poster of "The Man With No Name" on my wall at some point.
His career has been incredibly varied, from first coming to prominence in the TV series Rawhide, to being nominated for the Academy Awards 11 times and winning 5 Oscars (so far).
He has a reputation for playing roles which are often a portrayal of justice, mercy, suicide, and the angel of death, and the pacing in his films is said to be "unrushed and relaxed" with an almost noir-ish feel.
It would be impossible to list all his achievements here, so I'll limit myself to a few of my favourites. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Where Eagles Dare, where he almost single-handedly destroys the Wehrmacht(!), High Plains Drifter, In the Line of Fire (with the excellent John Malkovich), Unforgiven, and Million Dollar Baby (the last two for which he won Best Picture and Best Director).
Clint is now 81 years old, and let's face it, the guy ages well!

European Consumer Centres Network
The European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net) pursues the following objectives with regard to consumers:
- to provide information so as to enable consumers to purchase goods and services in the internal market with full knowledge of their rights and duties;
- to respond to direct requests for information from consumers or other parties;
- in the event of a complaint, to help and support consumers in their contacts with the business operator;
- where necessary, to help consumers in the event of a dispute.
All Member States have a national contact point belonging to the ECC Network. Iceland and Norway, members of the European Economic Area, also have a national contact point.
The ECC-Net budget is provided for under the European programme for consumer policy. One objective of the programme is to support the cooperation of Member States concerning information, advice and appeals in consumer protection matters.
Collaboration with other networks
The ECC network also cooperates with other European networks, namely FIN-NET (financial), SOLVIT (internal market) and the European Judicial Network on civil and commercial matters.
The ECC network is a result of the merger in 2005 of the two existing consumer protection networks: the Network for the extra-judicial settlement of consumer disputes (EEJ-Net) and the Network of Euroguichets.
The EEJ Network was created following a Council Resolution of 25 May 2000. Its objective was to enable complaints to be processed amicably. The Euroguichets were created in the early 1990s at the Commission's initiative in order to inform consumers about the possibilities of the internal market and consumers' rights.

Fans have been highly critical of defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio, whose Hurricanes are ranked near the bottom nationally of every defensive category. Golden was asked Tuesday if he sensed any frustration on D'Onofrio's part.
Golden: "Any frustration that he has on his part… because there's no fan out there that can match his intensity or his dedication in trying to get his trade right. The last two years the same guy had two Top-20 defenses in terms of scoring defense. So, as angry as everybody is, they're not watching it, they're not living it everyday like he is.
"As I say to him and the whole defensive staff, we're moving the team forward. Just keep moving it forward. As I said to you guys before, it's not like we're hiding a bunch of fourth and fifth-year seniors on the scout-team field. Where are they? There are no fifth-year seniors, there are no fourth-year seniors – only a couple – and there are very few juniors.
"The guys we're playing with right now are fighting every day, they're learning, but they're learning under fire. I think you go to Parris Island before you go to war, right? They're learning on the battle field. Just stay positive, man. Just keep moving forward. We'll get there. I promise you we'll get there.''
I checked the NCAA statistics again and D'Onofrio's and Golden's last season at Temple in 2010, the Owls finished 16th in scoring defense (19 points a game allowed) and 16th in total defense (317.6 ypg allowed). Last year, the Hurricanes, under D'Onofrio and Golden, finished 17th in scoring defense (20 ppg allowed) and 29th in pass defense (198 ypg allowed).
D'Onofrio's rushing defense last year at UM was ranked 68th (161.9). His rushing defense at Temple in 2010 was ranked 47th (139.5).
Receiver Phillip Dorsett spoke Tuesday about his critical drops Saturday at Notre Dame, saying he was "really excited to get back on the field'' and catch balls again.
"I'm still confident,'' Dorsett said. "I had a bad game last week, I know. But I'm going out there and working hard everyday, and I know I should be able to have a great game this week.''
Dorsett later told reporters about "naysayers, people threatening'' on Twitter, but didn't elaborate on specifics.
"I just look past it,'' he said.
When asked by The Miami Herald about the criticism he took from the public, Dorsett brushed it off, indicating that fans are fickle and that he didn't pay much attention to it.
Dorsett, known as @BrickByBrick_4 on Twitter, posted Sunday: "I had a bad game, I didn't play to my standard, but you better believe that will never happen again.. It's going down next week #hungry.''
Another one of his Sunday Twitter posts: "Games like yesterday shows who really supports you through the ups and downs of this game.''
This is Miami Herald intern R.J. Rico's last week with us, but I'm sure you've noticed some of his stories the past few weeks. R.J. was on Stephen Morris' teleconference today, and transcribed these comments:
On North Carolina: "They're a very fast defense. They're very physical. They're extremely well coached. They've done extremely well in the red zone, on third downs, and situational football. They're a very well-coached team. They know their insides and outs. They play fast and get to the ball very fast. It will be a great challenge.''
On Notre Dame: "After a game like that you really just have to take the positives out of it. Obviously it wasn't the type of game that we wanted to have. The biggest thing to do is to learn from the mistakes that we made and make sure that they don't happen again. We had too many costly mistakes and that led to bad drives on offense that didn't lead to points."
On Phillip Dorsett: "I just want him to have a great game. I want him to bounce back extremely strong. We're just looking to get him started. I know that he's going to be excited to go out there and be able to play again. That's the best cure for a game like that – just going out there and letting loose and having fun. I think that's what he needs. I'm going to be behind him no matter what. It's a growing pain. He's growing and he's going to make his own mark.''
Per UM: Due to President Barack Obama's visit to the Miami campus, BankUnited Center ticket office will be closed to walk-up sales Thursday. Instead, fans interested in purchasing tickets that day can visit the Hecht Athletic Center. The Hecht's ticket office will be open from 8:30 to 5 p.m. Thursday. If you're interested in the $9 before 9 a.m. special, and it happens to be Thursday, visit the Hecht from 8:30-9 a.m. that day.

Gonzaga Celebrates the Final Four
by Amy Lignor
"Beauty & the Beast" may be raking in the dough at movie theatres everywhere, but it is the Princess Cinderella that appears at the core of the NCAA headlines.
We all have our "Cinderella Teams." Heck, they even made a movie after the Hoosiers who once set the world on fire. But as this weekend winds down, it is the Gonzaga Bulldogs that find themselves ready to put on the glass slipper, or watch their 'coach' turn back into a pumpkin, depending on what their near future fate turns out to be.
Those who can remember 1998-99, remember that the Gonzaga Bulldogs were also a Cinderella team back then. Being the 10th seed in the Sweet Sixteen match-ups, they went on to lose (like so many others have over time) to the Connecticut Huskies (67-62). Connecticut (most especially the women) became used to being the No. 1 seed, but this season may just be Gonzaga's chance.
As of Saturday, the "Gonzaga Phenomenon" took over the airwaves. Coach Mark Few, who was actually serving as assistant during the first Cinderella moment for this team, told everyone this time around that Gonzaga did not want to be "a one-hit wonder."
It's not like the Zags were hideous since 1998/99, by the way. It was in 2006 that they scored like there was no tomorrow…unfortunately, for them, there actually turned out not to be. It was in 2013 that they were officially the No.1 seed going into the Sweet 16, yet they banged their heads up against Wichita State and had to say goodbye. In 2015, the Zags once again arrived but lost to what eventually turned out to be the national champions, Duke, during the Elite Eight.
This time, Few has built the team into one that has the numbers and the players to win it all. On Saturday night at the SAP Center, they finally got over the "proverbial hump" and celebrated their first entrance into the Final Four. Not only that, the game they played was not even close. We are talking a game between the Zags and 11th seeded Xavier that ended 83-59 – a lot like the Connecticut female games usually end up being.
The net was finally cut down by Gonzaga hands, with Few taking the rest and then turning on the top step of the ladder, where he screamed down to his team: "Might as well win it!"
The team screamed back, letting the world know the Gonzaga Bulldogs are more than ready to snag that national title. Unlike, however, normal Cinderella teams in the past that really did look too naïve to understand the point of it all, the Zags look very put together and most definitely have the right amount of talent needed to make Spokane, Washington more than proud.
Even Few stated that this current squad's ability "to really, really protect the rim at a high level" is different than in the past, and having the defense hold the No. 1 ranking through the entire tournament in adjusted defensive efficiency backed up that remark.
So…what will happen now? Many of the so-called "experts" are coming together to say that even though Gonzaga has given the NCAA a "Cinderella" story this year, the Final Four is exactly how far they're going to get. This is the first time since 1995 that the Final Four is being played west of Texas, so it makes complete sense to see an East vs. West battle for it all. But, in the end, the experts say that Kentucky has too many weapons for anyone to take them down, not even a "princess" waiting to be crowned.
Keep one thing in mind, however. These are also experts who said that the Atlanta Falcons would have no problem bringing down Tom Brady and the Patriots to nab the Super Bowl title this year. See how that worked out?

Medical students learn from elderly residentsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Communications Director , Office of Dean of Medicine
They may be in only their first year of medicine, but they've already learned how to make someone's day. The first-year medical students in the WISH Program (WISH stands for Wellness Initiative for Seniors in Hawai`i) hosted a Valentine's Day-themed celebration at the Kuakini Home this week, helping the senior citizen residents there make lovely, colorful holiday cards and centerpieces.
Everywhere you looked, the students were in action. Justin Yamamoto was handing out craft supplies at one table. Ronald Hirokawa was carefully wielding a clothes iron, pressing colorful wax pieces to form the heart centers of the Valentine's centerpieces. Mariko Shimizu was helping assemble pieces of construction paper,. Yuho Ono chatted with a man whose face beamed with a broad smile. In a break room, Alain Takane mixed layers of chocolate pudding and vanilla wafers into parfaits as snacks for the seniors.
It's not just on Valentine's Day that medical students are making a difference in these seniors' lives. Each student in the WISH Program at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) is paired with a care home resident to be their one-on-one companion for the entire year. The student and senior spend, on average, two to three hours a week together.
"The seniors adore seeing the students' young faces, and the medical students learn a lot about the unique health care needs of the elderly by spending time with the kūpuna," said JABSOM Educational Specialist Misty Yee, of the UH Department of Geriatric Medicine. "It almost seems like the student and their senior companion are family, they spend so much time together."
The Valentine's event is one of three holiday parties that the current crop of WISH students have hosted at Kuakini Home (part of the Kuakini Medical Centerthis year. There were also parties for Halloween and Christmas.
JABSOM Geriatric Medicine Chair Dr. Kamal Masaki serves as the Faculty Director for the WISH program. But its activities are student initiated. "Two current fourth-year medical students, Marina Morie and Jenny Chan, actually started the WISH program, so that the students entering school after they did would have this learning and social opportunity with the seniors," said Yee.
First-year medical students at JABSOM are required to be involved in community service, as a way to increase their exposure to the people of all ages who they will be treating in the future. JABSOM also is one of the few U.S. medical school which also requires its future MDs to perform a clinical rotation in geriatric medicine--a plus, given the population of older adults in Hawai`i is growing faster than anywhere else in the country.
The UH JABSOM Department of Geriatric Medicine provides education for medical students, (post-MD) residents in Internal Medicine, Family Practice, OB-GYN and Psychiatry, and runs one of the largest fellowship (geriatric medicine specialty) programs in the nation.
The Kuakini Home is on the grounds of the Kuakini Health Systems in Nu`uanu.

A kid asked:
"Who would win in a ONE on ONE game, you or Kobe?"
MJ replied:
"Kobe would win, because I am older... But in my prime? Not even a contest."
"Let's just say, I have a better chance of stopping him than him stopping me."
At first thought, I thought Jordan was just trying to get the kids excited and motivated by such a confident answer. And more than half the basketball population wouldn't disagree with what he said.
Michael Friggin' Jordan, THE GOAT to most people, is obviously better than Kobe Bryant, right?
Wait a minute... the child asked who would win, ONE on ONE.
Accomplishment-wise, Jordan blows Kobe out of the water. 3 more titles, 4 more MVPs, 1 more DPOY, etc... We're all familiar with the facts that Jordan supporters bring up when we try to compare Kobe with MJ.
But with everything about the NBA team concept aside, who would win in a one-on-one game when each player was in his prime?
Who has the better individual skills to beat the other?
There was a thread like this at CL and I heard a compelling argument on both sides. Personally, I'm torn apart. If they played 10 games, I think each would win 5 times. I think each game would be very close. Each player would be motivated to prove his superiority. The intensity level would be something we've never seen before on a basketball court.
Prime Jordan and Kobe were both the one of the best one-on-one defenders of their time.
Prime Jordan and Kobe were both the most dominating perimeter players of their time.
Prime Jordan and Kobe were the best one-on-one offensive weapons of their time.
Who would win? And why?

AT&T Jumps Into The Metered Broadband Pool; 150 Gig Limit For DSL
from the don't-stream-too-much-there... dept
Now, I'm sure that plenty of people will say that 150GB is pretty high, and AT&T itself claims that only 2% of its current users tend to go over that amount. But... that's today. There are a large number of new apps and new uses for the internet that are increasing our use of broadband, and putting caps and meters on the end risks slowing down innovation in very serious ways. If people suddenly have to be worried about testing out some new high bandwidth streaming app, because they're afraid to make use of their connection, that risks harming a variety of potentially useful new apps and services. I know that, for example, once Sprint put caps on its EVDO/3G data service, I massively decreased my use of it (even though I don't think I ever came near the caps) just because I didn't even want to have to think about the risk or the fact that a single click might drive me much closer to the cap and overage fees. That mental transaction cost can be quite big, and I don't think the broadband providers recognize how powerful it can be.
Once again, the real issue here is the lack of competition. Despite claims to the contrary, plenty of places still really only have a single provider, and those that don't often are limited to just a single other provider (cable), with many of the providers there offering caps as well. AT&T is claiming that it's doing this to stop congestion on the network -- and even told the WSJ that bandwidth hogs were clogging the network -- but folks like Dave Burstein who follow this issue closely claim that congestion is minimal and that AT&T lied to the WSJ (who, it should be noted, didn't appear to question the claim).

|Tas Seasonal Rainfall Outlook: probabilities for Autumn 2007, issued 22nd February 2007
Neutral autumn rainfall outlook for Tasmania
The Tasmanian outlook for total autumn (March to May) rainfall, shows no strong swings in the odds towards wetter or drier conditions. The pattern of seasonal rainfall odds across Australia is a result of higher than average temperatures in the Pacific Ocean (because of El Niño) and also in the Indian Ocean. More influence has come from the Pacific.
The chances of exceeding the median rainfall for the March to May period, are close to 50% over Tasmania (see map). So in years with ocean patterns like the current, about five autumns out of ten are drier than average and five out of ten are wetter across the State.
Outlook confidence is related to how consistently the Pacific and Indian Oceans affect Australian rainfall. During autumn, history shows this effect to be only weakly or very weakly consistent across most of Tasmania (see background information).
The January Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) value was −7, a slight drop from the December reading of −3. The approximate SOI for the 30-days ending 19th February was −3.
The 2006/07 El Niño has ended. All the main ENSO indicators show that neutral conditions have returned to the Pacific Basin. For routine updates and comprehensive discussion on the latest data relating to El Niño, together with details on what the phenomenon is and how it has affected Australia in the past, please see the ENSO Wrap-Up.

|More information on this outlook is available from 9.00am to 5.00pm (EST) Monday to Friday by contacting the Climate and Consultancy section in the Bureau's Hobart Office: (03) 6221 2043.

In order to provide safe, secure and sustainable products to customers and consumers – and to do so responsibly – we need to continually find new ways to meet the evolving expectations of the market. This means understanding the diverse needs of our customers, while at the same time finding sustainable ways to feed a fast-growing population. It also means supporting people and communities in our business, in our markets and in our supply chains and doing more with less by driving environmental innovation across the life cycle of our products and in our own operations.
Many sustainability challenges faced by business and society are interconnected. While FOOD. PEOPLE. FUTURES as the chapters of our sustainability story provide us a way to organise and communicate our priorities, we think and work in an integrated way in order to develop solutions that maximise benefits for our customers, for our business and for the communities where we operate.
We also recognise the need for joined-up solutions that span and connect different parts of the food system and we recognise that our responsibilities extend beyond our own operations and our business with customers. That is why our approach to sustainability encompasses the whole value chain. It is also why we align to global initiatives like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We can have the greatest impact on those goals that are most closely aligned with our business model and strategic priorities; therefore, we have identified nine, which you will see throughout this report.
Working with our customers and partners to make food safe and available everywhere through our innovative and market-leading food processing and packaging solutions. Through this approach, we are making a direct contribution to SDGs 2 and 12:
Our processing and packaging solutions enable food and drink to be distributed and stored without refrigeration or preservatives. Our Food for Development initiative helps drive the development of the dairy and food value chain worldwide. School feeding programmes improve health and stimulate development. Our DEEPER IN THE PYRAMID offering is making healthy food accessible to low-income households.
We prefer to use materials from renewable sources, and our long-term goal is that all our packaging will be made from 100% renewable materials. The aseptic technology and packaging help to reduce food.
Top material aspects: food availability, customer health and safety, food waste
Safeguarding and enabling our people and supporting communities where we operate. Through this approach, we are making a direct contribution to SDG 8:
We employ a diverse workforce, and strive to keep all colleagues free from harm. Our Code of Business Conduct sets mandatory requirements on human rights and labour, environment and anti-corruption, complies with applicable legislation and encourages suppliers' own sustainability initiatives.
Top material aspect: occupational health and safety.
Supporting the sustainable future of our planet and the long-term success of our customers. Through this approach, we are making a direct contribution to SDGs 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15 and 17:
We seek to minimise water usage in our operations and reduce the water consumption of the equipment we develop, sell and operate at our customers' sites. Our Environmental Benchmarking Services help customers to increase efficiency and reduce their own consumption.
We are investing in renewable energy and increasing the use of renewable electricity in our operations. We have joined RE100 and the Business Renewables Center, committing us to sourcing 100 per cent of our electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
We work to improve the environmental profile of our products and solutions and to adopt sustainable practices throughout the value chain. Our equipment is designed to provide outstanding performance and to minimise energy and water use.
We prefer to use materials from renewable sources and are working towards a 100 per cent renewable package. Our aseptic packaging helps to reduce food waste. We adopt responsible practices throughout our value chain and have been reporting on these since 1999.

Uroplasty Announces Executive Changes In US Sales Organization
~New Vice President of Sales Begins February 11, 2013
~~New Executive Position Created to Focus on Large Group Practices
Feb 05, 2013, 04:05 EST
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Uroplasty, Inc. (NASDAQ : UPI ), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today announced changes in its executive leadership for its US sales organization.
Effective February 11, 2013, Darin Hammers will assume the role of Vice President of US Sales. In his new role, Mr. Hammers will have responsibility for the US sales force, inside sales support and customer service. In addition, effective the same day, Larry Heinemann will assume the role of Vice President of Corporate Development. This newly created position will focus on selling Uroplasty products to large group urology practices in the US, managed care organizations and other customers that are consolidating their purchases of products for treating voiding dysfunctions in the physician's office.
Prior to joining Uroplasty, Mr. Hammers held roles of increasing responsibility in sales and sales management with Boston Scientific Corporation, Inc. and CR Bard, Inc. He spent 13 years at Boston Scientific Corporation in its Urology/Gynecology Business Unit, advancing from a field Territory Manager, and ending his career there as Group Director of Sales. Throughout his career at Boston Scientific, he led his sales organizations to significant success and growth while building strong relationships throughout the US with key opinion leaders in urology. Following Boston Scientific, Mr. Hammers joined CR Bard, spending four years there as Vice President of Sales – Bard Medical Division. While there, he focused on growing the business with five different sales organizations focused on different disease states, including urology, the largest portion of the division.
"Darin joins Uroplasty at the perfect time in our life cycle," said David Kaysen, President and CEO of Uroplasty. "Sales of our products, particularly Urgent PC, which provides physicians with an in-office treatment for overactive bladder, have grown nicely and we believe we are poised to achieve further growth. Darin brings strong relationships, strong leadership and development skills that will strengthen our sales organization as we drive to future growth. I am excited to have Darin join our team and I look forward to working closely with him as he sets the direction and key strategies for our sales organization."
"Uroplasty is the perfect opportunity for me," said Mr. Hammers. "As I learned of this opportunity, I did significant due diligence on Uroplasty, and particularly on Urgent PC. As I spoke with key physicians that I know and other clinicians, it became clear to me that Urgent PC is an outstanding product that has great opportunities ahead of it. I am excited to become a part of this company and look forward to driving sales and growth in the future."
Larry Heinemann, former VP of US Sales, will assume the position of Vice President of Corporate Development. In this new role, Mr. Heinemann will be responsible for developing strategies for a corporate sales effort focused on building relationships with large group urology practices, large HMO/PPO organizations as well as other entities that are consolidating their purchasing of products such as Urgent PC and Macroplastique.
"Larry is the perfect person for this effort given his knowledge of our business and our markets," said Mr. Kaysen. "As our customers join large urology practices, they treat buying decisions on a corporate level. To have an executive level person calling on the executives of these customers is an advantage that we believe will help drive purchasing decisions at a corporate level that then will be implemented at the individual clinic. Larry was a key part of the team that completed our recently announced agreement with Kaiser Permanente. This experience will serve him well as we approach other large HMO/PPO programs that manage and coordinate treatment of voiding dysfunctions in their associated hospitals and clinics."
About Uroplasty, Inc.
Uroplasty, Inc., headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a global medical company committed to offering transformative treatment options to specialty physicians.

Website Design that makes your website work
Website designers in Pretoria, Gauteng
- Have you had bad run-ins with web designers ?
- Have you been made promises re your website that were not kept ?
- Do you feel that you paid money for a website that does not work ?
- Are you weary of webdesigners and web design companies ?
Then it might be time to visit us and see what we offer.
"Poor quality is remembered long after low prices are forgotten."
Charles Royce – co-founder of Rolls Royce.
Do you realize the full potential of the Internet?
Having a website that really works for you can bring much better returns on investment than any other printed media ad, as the Internet offers you a global platform 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Meaning that any small business can now afford to have international exposure 24/7 at a fraction of the cost of a newspaper ad.
What Comes First – Web Design or Search Engine Optimisation?
This really is the chicken and egg question of the internet age but depending on who you ask will determine the actual answer you receive.
Why use us?
Disregarding the fact that we can actually make your website rank in the Search Engine results and not charge you exorbitant fees for one, there are some other factors that make us stand out from the crowd. For one, we, unlike pretty much most other website design companies, have a whole bouquet of means to contact us, up to and including Skype direct from the site, as well as a map to get to us and even photographs of every key person involved in o5webdesign. Over and above that, we also include all feedback as received from clients, plus the ability to contact those clients to check up on us. We are of the opinion that this, together with our proven history of good client service, is sufficient means of proving our legitimacy.
Why ranking in the search engines is important
There used to be a time when you could design a website without worrying too much about the technical stuff. Just slapping a site together in one of the HTML editing programs was enough. Once you had your site designed and uploaded to your server, you were in business. All of that has changed now. Search engine algorithms have not only changed drastically over the past five years, but they keep changing almost on a weekly basis. If you do not keep up with these changes and then change accordingly, your site is dead in the water.
Now, you have 2 options – spend hours educating yourself and staying on top of what's what in Search Engine Optimization OR get the services of someone who specializes in that – as easy as that. That is where o5webdesign come in – we regard ourselves as Search Engine Optimization specialists due to our extensive ongoing research to make our own huge network of websites rank and then using that knowledge to ensure our clients get their just return on investment and that they end up with a website that truly works for them.
So maybe its time to ask yourself – What's the use of a beautiful site lying in the 205th position on a search engine? No-one will find your site. Our ever growing list of clients as well as the results of our own sites speak for themselves. So isn't it time you talked to the real experts today ?
The real question is – WILL YOUR WEBSITE BE SEEN IN THE SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS?
Take it from someone who makes a full-time living off the Internet – a nice, flashy site is good to have, but if your site does not rank on the first few pages of the Search Engines IT WILL NOT WORK. It is that simple.

BERKELEY — An 46-year-old Albany man was arrested Tuesday after police said he plowed his car through a Berkeley liquor store and struck a woman inside.
Keith Kelly of Albany was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run causing injury and was booked into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on $10,000 bail.
The victim, a customer at the store, received minor injuries and was treated at a hospital, police said.
Police were called to East Liquors at 3045 San Pablo Ave. about 9:30 p.m. after reports of the crash. Berkeley police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats said the man attempted to leave the store after the crash, but employees detained him until officers arrived.
The store was open for business Wednesday, but the building's front door and inside counters were damaged, Coats said.
Coats said investigators don't yet know what caused the crash, but that it doesn't appear drugs or alcohol were involved. The driver may have made an unsafe turn, Coats said.
Coats said a passenger in the front seat of the Chevrolet Cavalier ran off after the crash, but is not wanted in connection to the hit and run.

Formerly a Kuduru singer in Angola, PITSHU met Jimmy the Dancer in a shelter in downtown São Paulo. Took by the dancer to a Dubversão session in the Sarajevo club when Bigode was selecting (usually Yellow P played those wednesdays), Pitshu quickly became the sound's official deejay (sound system MC), setting the tone in the dances with his delicate chants being the perfect match to the set's powerfull, bass driven rumble.
By 2008, when Basodá was released, the weekly party Java (every friday night up to 500 people showed up) and Dubversão's free street dances had already estabilshed a large following an the love for sound system culture in Brazil, speacially São Paulo, the sound's hometown.
Most of the riddims on the album were taken from Rockers Control's sessions at Coacho do Sapo studio, in Bahia, which also resulted in the Jacuípe Sessions álbum. The band is Dubversão's in house riddim machine, and some of those riddims appeared later in Brother Culture's showcase Chilling Inna Brazil and Massarock's self titled debut solo.
Java developed from Susi in Dub, the first weekly friday party held by the Dubversão crew in 2002. Since those first gaherings the crew put a lot of effort into becoming a real reggae sound system, and by 2008 the stacks were already fully blasting the bass line with scoops, a Tubby's preamp, and a nice vibe, every time.
The sound design was supervised by legendary engeneer Wagner "Wagnão" Tavares, who started to learn his craft while living with the rock band Mutantes in São Paulo country side in the 70's, later working wih Gilberto Gil, Tim Maia and many of Great brazilian artits.
Pitshu – Básoda (São Paulo, Brasil, 2008)
Produced by Yellow P & Bigode/Dubversão. Mixed by Yellow P & Bigode at Casa Amarela. Mastered by Buguinha Dub.
Lead vocals: Pitshu
Players of Intruments: Zaca Rock – drums / Derico Merengue – percussion / Christopher – guitars / Jacob Benguela – guitars / Massa Rock – keyboards, vocals, percussion / Bigode – bass, keyboards, programming, percussion / Yellow P – programming, percussion / Special guest: William Daicon – keyboards

Washington, D.C (PRWEB) August 18, 2004
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have announced that the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania (http://www.asla.org/nonmembers/publicrelations/pressreleases/press04/pressrelease081604b.htm) will receive the 2004 Landmark Award during the ASLA Annual Meeting, October 29-November 2, in Salt Lake City.
After the Morris Arboretum was bequeathed to the University of Pennsylvania in 1932 by Lydia and John Morris, the gardens and garden features deteriorated and the Morris mansion was demolished. In 1978, the arboretum commissioned Andropogon Associates, Ltd., to design a master plan for revitalizing the institution. This was the beginning of an ongoing, 26-year relationship between the arboretum and the landscape architects, who have guided the site design and implementation of the master plan. The rediscovery of the gardens and the recognition of natural areas as essential components of the original estate led to three key concepts that have shaped the arboretum: to open up historical vistas; to reintegrate the park and garden landscapes with the natural areas; and to link the symbolic and natural landscapes together, a concept that led to using the natural areas as plant exhibits.
This year marked a new partnership in selecting the Landmark Award recipient, as ASLA welcomed the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private, non-profit membership organization dedicated to protecting the irreplaceable. Recipient of the National Humanities Medal, the Trust provides leadership, education and advocacy to save AmericaÂs diverse historic places and revitalize communities. Its Washington, DC, headquarters staff, six regional offices, and 25 historic sites work with the TrustÂs 200,000 members and thousands of local community groups in all 50 states. For more information, visit the National TrustÂs web site at http://www.nationaltrust.org.
The ASLA Awards Program is administered by the ASLA Library and Education Advocacy Fund (http://www.asla.org/aslafund/), a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization established by ASLA in 2001. The ASLA Fund is dedicated to expanding the body of knowledge of the landscape architecture profession, to promoting the value of landscape architecture, and to increasing public understanding of environmental and land use issues and principles.
Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association for landscape architects representing more than 14,200 members. Landscape architecture is a comprehensive discipline of land analysis, planning, design, management, preservation, and rehabilitation. ASLA promotes the landscape architecture profession and advances the practice through advocacy, education, communication, and fellowship.
