November marks the second month of the monsoon season in Borobudur. I knew that before clicking on the "CONTINUE" icon on the budget airline's website in May. What I didn't know was that I'd missed an e-mail notifying us on the change of date of last year's Deepavali celebration. And that the first of a few exams was just weeks away. So, I had to take leave and my examination result, as I was informed recently, was far from desirable. But did I ever regret going to Borobudur? Absolutely not.
The pouring rain greeted us as soon as we stepped out of the Adisucipto International Airport in Yogyakarta. Luckily, the pre-booked car to the Manohara Hotel was already waiting for us. The hotel itself was fantastic. Perfectly located within the compound of the Borobudur Park, it's just 300 metres away from the stunning Borobudur Temple. As we'd discovered later, rain doesn't last long in this part of the world. When we exited the town of Yogya and onto Magelang and Muntilan, the sky was bright again. The journey of approximately 40 km took an hour to reach the entrance to Borobudur. Here, the landscape transformed from dusty towns connected by wide and well-kept roads to lush green paddy fields (the fertile land is a gift from the nearby volcanoes) with endless humps and potholes. Accessorizing the view were historical candis that looked like miniatures of the ancient temple.
When in Borobudur, one must witness the amazing sunrise. That's what I was told. At 4 in the morning, the park was dark and humid. The temple, with just a few spotlights guarding the walls, looked as if it was still asleep from afar. With a group of other enthusiasts, we made our way towards the temple. The guide left us at the gate and basically, it was just us, the temple and our complimentary torchlights from that moment on. The steep stairway leading to the top of the temple (about 120 metres tall) was not a challenge, but to do it in the dark meant that speed was greatly reduced.
According to Buddhist cosmology, the way to go about the temple is by ascending the 9 levels that form a mandala in the clockwise direction. Each level represents a different state, with the highest being the state of attaining nirvana. The figures of Lord Buddha on the top level being isolated by the stupas from the rest of the world speak clearly of this. Most of the statutes have been disfigured by earthquakes, rain and terrorism. The sights of headless, armless Buddhas meditating might not be aesthetically pleasing but I feel that perhaps it's more significant this way - that the perfect peace of the state of mind is one that's free from all forms and desires.
Nearing 5 in the morning, the crowd gathered towards the east. As light began to shine upon the misty land below us, so awoke the figures of the 2 most majestic volcanoes in Central Java; Gunung Merapi and Gunung Merbau. However, the sky still looked gray and I overheard a tour guide telling an old Singaporean couple that it might take a while longer for the sun to rise that day. But he was wrong. The sun did rise at the usual time, but the thick monsoon clouds had hidden its majestic rays from us. What's not told to us was the beautiful sunset. Not as grand but definitely worth the experience, especially with a thinner crowd.
When asked of my trip to the Borobudur temple, I would tell my friends that I felt like I've revisited a chapter in our history textbook. The one with the kingdoms of Srivijaya, Majapahit, Langkasuka and Sailendra. Except that this infamous temple was never part of the syllabus.
It's only at quieter times that one can appreciate what lies beyond the extensive structure and intricate details. The Borobudur temple has an unexplained story to tell. A mysterious one, at that. Was it forsaken due to a change of belief? Or perhaps superstitions had caused the people to abandon the temple? Or was it simply covered by ashes and forests through a series of volcanic activities?
Only they will know.

US national team goalkeeper Hope Solo tested positive for a banned substance found in her pre-menstrual medication and received a public warning for the violation, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said on Monday.
Solo, 30, tested positive for Canrenone as the result of an out-of-competition urine sample collected on June 15 but will not be ruled out of the July 27-Aug. 12 London Olympics.
The prescribed medication is classified as a specified substance by USADA that can result in a reduced sanction.
"I took a medication prescribed by my personal doctor for pre-menstrual purposes that I did not know contained a diuretic," Solo said in a statement.
"Once informed of this fact, I immediately cooperated with USADA and shared with them everything they needed to properly conclude that I made an honest mistake, and that the medication did not enhance my performance in any way.
"As someone who believes in clean sport, I am glad to have worked with USADA to resolve this matter and I look forward to representing my country at the 2012 Olympic Games in London."
Solo was the starting goalkeeper for the United States in their run to the gold at the 2008 Olympics and was a standout performer for the US team that reached the finals of last year's FIFA Women's World Cup.
Along the way, Solo became only the second US women's team goalkeeper ever to reach 100 caps.
USADA Chief Executive Travis Tygart said in a statement: "As in all cases, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances and always do what is fair and right for clean athletes and the integrity of sport."

One out of every five people arrested is on parole or probation — a lower number than law enforcement expected — according to a newly published study.
Researchers examined to what extent people on parole or probation contribute to crime (as measured by arrests).
They used data from Los Angeles, Redlands, Sacramento and San Francisco police over more than three years, ending in June 2011.
The Council of State Governments Justice Center, a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization based in Kentucky, found:
- The majority of adult felony and misdemeanor arrests (77%) involved people who were not under supervision.
- When looking only at drug violations, one out of every three people arrested was on probation or parole.
- Total arrests fell by 18 percent. Meanwhile, the number parolees arrested fell 61 percent, and people on probation declined 26 percent.
The data shows there's a "small fraction" of parolees who are "contributing disproportionately to drug-related crime," Redlands Police Chief Mark Garcia said this week in a news statement about the study.
As a whole, though, Sacramento Police Chief Rick Braziel said:
"Our assumption has been that people under probation and parole were driving our arrest activity, but the data suggests otherwise," he said.
"This new information opens up opportunities for law enforcement agencies, which are grappling with huge budget cuts, to work with partners in probation and parole to be more efficient and targeted in our prevention, intervention, and enforcement efforts."
The study was paid for by the Public Safety Performance Project of the Pew Center on the States, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Fund for Nonviolence and the Rosenberg Foundation.


text: After the installation of an OS, for example Debian, following one of the excellent "perfect servers" how-tos and then installing ISPConfig3, there are a few more things I consider to be essential: - install Mod_Security. This can be skipped if you use only software that is guaranteed to be secure. Mod_security needs some work for fine-tuning, but if you run a hosting environment for clients or if you use opensource software, Mod_Security might save you more than just a couple bucks... - install the PEAR mail package Most if not almost all software packages involving mailing to users make use of the PHP mail()/sendmail function. The problem with this is that regardless of all your efforts using SPF and setting PTRs, your mail will be stopped by spamfilters of all major email providers because it was not sent using SMTP auth. PEAR provides a simple way for sending mail using SMTP auth, so you increase your website's reach.

Wednesday Painters Emerge From Cocoons
Members of the Wednesday Group, plein-air painters, don't take up a lot of room when they set up their canvases, which they do at least once or twice a week for six months a year, depending on the weather, at any number of spots, some near the water and some not.
Most of the painters in the group, which was started by Frank Sofo and Gene Samuelson early in 2010 ("Let's have a drawing class"), are also members of the Artists Alliance of East Hampton; Mr. Sofo and Mr. Samuelson are on the alliance's board. Since not everyone in the alliance works outdoors, forming a group that could meet outside and critique each other's work seemed both practical and salubrious. At present about 10 to 12 members meet regularly, with 8 or 9 others joining in from time to time. All of them have been showing on the East End for years.
Mr. Samuelson and his wife moved to Amagansett full time in 2003 after years of weekending there. He is the treasurer of the Artists Alliance and works with RSVP, the Retired Seniors Volunteer program. Mr. Sofo, who lives in East Hampton, moved here full time in the late 1990s. He has illustrated several children's books.
The Wednesday Group had its first exhibit and sale, at the Water Mill Museum, last year, curated by Alyce Peifer. Their second show opens there today, with a reception on June 2. The group has also shown at Ashawagh Hall in Springs.
The painters whose work can be seen at the museum are Cynthia Loewen, Deborah Palmer, Ms. Peifer, Bobbie Braun, Christine Chew Smith, Anna Franklin, Andrea Hufstader, Neville Lewis, Al Marino, Mr. Samuelson, Cynthia Sobel, Mr. Sofo, Mary Van Deusen, and Callie Velmachos.

Snapz Pro X 2.5.0 is coming... and it's not merely a bug fix update for OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion"! We've actually been furiously at work rewriting the product from scratch to take advantage of modern APIs, include compatibility for Retina displays, and have written new and improved video capture engine as well!
We're currently at the Final Candidate stage, so we're feeling good that it'll be released shortly. It will be a free update to existing Snapz Pro X 2.x customers, and requires OS X 10.7 "Lion" or 10.8 "Mountain Lion". So here's a little sneak peek!
When I first started writing software, I was a teenager in my parent's house, doing it for the challenge and enjoyment of it. I don't want to date myself too much, but that was back in the days of 1200 baud dialup modems and BBSs... and floppy disks.
My problem at the time wasn't the technical hurdle of coding, but rather figuring out what to code. I was a kid, and had little concept of what actual people in the real world did with their computers. So at a family get together, it was natural for me to take advice from a relative who said he really could use an "easy" way to print envelopes.
That direction in hand, I set out to write a program ("Desk Accessory" in the parlance of the day) that would let you print envelopes easily. Being an original and creative kind of guy, I called it "EasyEnvelopes".
Soundboard is an application from Ambrosia that lets you create libraries of instantly trigger-able sound effects, and is used by broadcasters, podcasters, and live event artists the world over. Ever since the release of Soundboard 2.0 for Mac, Ambrosia has been hard at work on a version of Soundboard for iPad.
Adapting a desktop computer application for a "new category" portable device like the iPad can be challenging. First, you need to distill down what features people will want… which isn't necessarily the same as the desktop version. Often people will be using the device in very different physical situations, and thus their expectations and priorities are different.
The Mac platform has been seeing a remarkable resurgence over the past few years, but one thing has been notable by its absence: a decent solitaire game for the Mac! That's why we've decided to bring our popular iPhone and iPad solitaire game Mondo Solitaire to the Mac.
ROCHESTER, New York -- August 19, 2010 -- Few things can cause a case of nervousness like giving a preview copy of an unreleased product to a talented reviewer. But, the rewards are only that much sweeter when the product gets amazing praise! Such a scenario played out this past week when Ambrosia sent a copy of the unreleased WireTap Anywhere 2 to Jim Dalrymple of The Loop.
The preview starts off with, "When Ambrosia Software first released WireTap Anywhere (WTA), they changed the way I thought of my audio hardware. Now with version 2.0 almost ready to be released, WireTap Anywhere will completely change the way I record audio." Dalrymple continues on to say, "WireTap Anywhere is one of those software applications that you don't know you need until you use it. Once you have it, you'll never have a computer without it."

Author Notes: An oldie but a goodie, this hearkens back to my cooking school days, with some thanks also to Julia Child. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 6
1 1/2
cups milk
garlic cloves
tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2
pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
cups grated Gruyere
Salt and pepper
In This Recipe
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the milk in a small heavy saucepan and peel and smash one of the garlic cloves. Add it to the pot and then heat the milk gently until it starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from the heat and let steep while you continue with the recipe.
- Peel the second garlic clove, cut it in half and rub the cut side around the inside of an oval gratin dish about 9 inches long and 2 inches deep. Rub 1 tablespoon of the butter over the inside of the baking dish.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices (I use a mandoline to get them nice and even), laying the slices on a kitchen towel to drain. Layer about a third of the potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish, fanning them into concentric, overlapping circles. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and sprinkle a third of the cheese over them. Repeat with two more layers of potatoes, salt and pepper and cheese, making the top layer as neat and tidy as you can.
- Remove the garlic clove from the hot milk and pour the milk evenly over the potatoes. Dot the top of the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of butter and bake the gratin for about 30 minutes, until it's browned and bubbly. Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
An animal rights group and an animal shelter are both offering rewards in the case of a kitten found buried in concrete in a Arizona-Utah border town dominated by the polygamous group led by Warren Jeffs.
The animal was found May 31 near the Colorado City, Ariz., home of Isaac Wyler, a former member of the sect turned prominent critic.
A friend of Wyler's had placed a series of approximately 7-foot-high cylindrical metal supports in wet concrete as part of a construction project. When he returned to the job site the next day, he heard the cat meowing inside one of the hollow supports.
After the friend, fellow FLDS critic Andrew Chatwin, located the cat, he cut the hollow support and discovered the animal had sunk into the wet concrete up to its face.
Since concrete hardens quickly in the summer heat, "someone had to have been watching us work on this project the whole time. Someone had to have done it quickly right after I left," Chatwin said.
He called the Best Friends Animal Shelter in Kanab and the shelter staff worked to free the creature. The animal, which they named Thomas, had suffered "massive injuries" and died a few days later, according to the shelter.
"We were all deeply saddened at seeing what he went through, and knowing that someone out there clearly has suffered so much in their own life to feel justified inflicting this kind of cruelty on another living being," shelter officials said in a statement.
Best Friends is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is offering a $2,500 reward. In a release, PETA officials asked anyone with information to call the organization at 757-622-7382, extension 8037.
Wyler sees it as part of an ongoing pattern of harassment that started when he decided to stay in the community after being kicked out eight years ago, instead of doing what sect leaders expect and leaving.
"Dead cats have been found in our place for years," he said. "This is the first time they've done it with a live animal."
His horses, he said, also have been targeted. Wyler says over the years he's made complaints and filed reports with the marshal's office that covers Colorado City and adjacent border town of Hildale, Utah, but no one has ever been caught.
"How do you catch someone doing that?" Wyler said. "Unless someone comes and confesses, you're never going to know."
Chatwin calls them "hate messages."
This comes against a backdrop of continued excommunications from imprisoned leader Warren Jeffs and increasingly stifling rules for behavior, including a ban on sex a situation called by some a "social disaster."
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against town leaders, and last week the Mohave County Sheriff's Office in Arizona started putting patrol officers in the town.
Acting police chief of Colorado/Hildale Helaman Barlow said the marshals are investigating the kitten's death, and asked anyone with information to call their office at 435-874-2240.
"This is an extremely sad situation," Barlow said through city attorney Blake Hamilton.
News of the incident broke this week via a video Chatwin made and posted on YouTube.

I'm running OpenSUSE 12.3 (and have seen the behavior since 11), and have found that I can't call Superuser programs (e.g. shutdown, reboot) without using the full path. For me, many of these executables live in
/sbin, so instead of using
sudo reboot, I have to call
sudo /sbin/reboot. Thankfully, when using sudo OpenSUSE's shell (bash) will expand these paths when I press the
Tab key, so
sudo rebo[Tab] will result in
sudo /sbin/reboot.
OpenSUSE provides a package by the name of bash-completion which expands the auto-complete functionality of bash to include all sorts of other contexts (e.g. gsettings). Unfortunately, by default, this package does not expand the Superuser executables to their full paths, but just expands the executable name, so
sudo rebo[Tab] will result in
sudo reboot, which will lead to a
sudo: reboot: command not found error.
How do I install/run bash-completion yet ensure the autocomplete for Superuser executables expands to the full path?

Clarkson University Bestows Top Award for Young Alumni
Kathryn E. Campbell of New York, N.Y., vice president/senior analyst of product development at AllianceBernstein; Michael A. DiVirgilio II of Hermosa Beach, Calif., Mayor of the City of Hermosa Beach; Erroll L. Eaton of Dallas, Texas, Energy Solutions Performance Consultant at Johnson Control's Building Efficiency Business; and Jody A. Markopoulos of Charlottesville, Va., president and CEO of GE Intelligent Platforms, have all received the Woodstock Award from their alma mater, Clarkson University.
Given each year during Reunion Weekend, the Woodstock Award honors young alumni who have demonstrated outstanding loyalty and service to Clarkson and the Alumni Association and who have used their Clarkson experience to make a notable contribution to their careers.
Kathryn E. Campbell
Kathryn E. Campbell received her bachelor of science degree in engineering & management with a minor in technical communications from Clarkson University in 2003.
While at Clarkson, Campbell was involved with the International Student Association, studying a semester abroad at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, England. Campbell was also a member of women's soccer and the Delta Zeta sorority. She was an inaugural member of the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) organization, in addition to being a member of Sigma Tau Iota and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies.
Campbell has been a dedicated member of the Clarkson Alumni Council for the past eight years, five of which she has served on the executive alumni board, co-chairing the alumni outreach program targeting students, alumni and the Clarkson community.
After graduation, Campbell joined GE in the Information Management Leadership Program. After completion of the program in 2005, she moved to GE's consumer & industrial division as a business analyst where she continued to lead a number of large technology and operational initiatives.
In 2007, Campbell began working with AllianceBernstein, starting out as a global operations business analyst and working her way up to vice president/senior analyst of product development. Today, she leads a number of global product research and design efforts involving many facets of the firm, from ideation to legal and board presentations. She is also responsible for the ongoing framing of the firm's product strategy as well as monitoring of the investment budget for new launches and commercial opportunities.
Campbell currently resides in New York, N.Y.
Michael A. DiVirgilio II
Michael A. DiVirgilio II received his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Clarkson University in 1993. While at Clarkson, DiVirgilio served the school in many ways. He was inducted into the Phalanx honorary society and served as its president. He was also a recipient of the Phalanx Commendable Leadership Award, resident director of Ross-Brooks dormitory, resident advisor of Brooks II and Reynolds I, and brother and treasurer of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He also served in student government, including the office of class vice president; founded Clarkson's Safe Spring Break Week; and was one of the founding instructors in the freshman Wellness Program. In 2005, he returned to provide the keynote remarks for University Recognition Day.
After a decade of engineering work with electronic companies and software start-ups, DiVirgilio redirected himself into the world of public service with several roles that culminated in a senior staff position as longtime U.S. Congresswoman Jane Harman's district director. From there, he launched his own strategy and public affairs practice where he advises individuals and organizations such as Fortune 100 firms like Simon Property Group.
DiVirgilio was also the official and unofficial Southern California alumni leader for almost a decade. He organized several fun alumni events as well as the largest concentration of alumni outside of the northeast. To maintain alumni connection and enthusiasm -- in the pre-Facebook age -- for such a sprawling geographic area (equivalent in size to Pennsylvania) was impressive.
In 2007, DiVirgilio won a seat on the Hermosa Beach City Council. Known for his friendly and calm attitude as well as his creative and analytical abilities, he applies his engineering training to solve problems in his community.
As the mayor, he directed a regional visioning session that led to the City of Hermosa Beach committing to becoming carbon neutral, making Hermosa Beach one of only a handful of communities nationwide to do so and the first in Southern California.
Now in his second term, DiVirgilio's leadership and problem-solving ability recently helped end a 15-year-old lawsuit against the city that carried a potential judgment of 25 times the city's annual revenue. He worked to negotiate an innovative settlement that reduced the potential cost per household from $105,000 to less than $3,000, required no upfront settlement monies, and includes the community in the final decision making.
Originally from Clifton Park, N.Y., DiVirgilio and his wife, Danay, live in Hermosa Beach, Calif., with their daughter, Amanda.
Erroll L. Eaton
Erroll L. Eaton received his bachelor of science, master's and doctor of philosophy degrees in mechanical engineering from Clarkson University in 1993, 1994 and 1999, respectively. He was a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Physical Society-Division of Fluid Dynamics organizations. Eaton was a regular participant in Clarkson's intramural sports programs where he organized teams for basketball and football.
Eaton also took on leadership roles outside of the classroom, serving as a co-founder of SPECTRUMM, the Clarkson chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, as well as the Diversity Alliance Group. He was also involved in founding a colony of the Xi Epsilon chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, the first African-American fraternity at Clarkson. Eaton also served as an assistant coach of the men's basketball team for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 seasons.
In 1999, Eaton joined Delphi Automotive where he worked on the design and development of climate control systems for General Motors, Fiat, VW and Porsche. He was awarded a patent for the development of a more efficient and quiet centrifugal fan.
In 2003, Eaton joined Ford Motor Company where he led the design of new air-handling systems for all mid-size sedans. Before his transition to a new industry, Eaton was designated lead systems engineer for all climate control air handling applications.
Joining the Applied Research Division of Lennox International in 2008, Eaton filed for four different U.S. patents and was awarded patent US 8,151,931 B2, "Acoustic Noise Control in Heating or Cooling Systems."
After years of team leadership, system development, project management and a dedicated commitment in achieving customer satisfaction, Eaton brings a great amount of knowledge and experience to his current position as an Energy Solutions Performance Consultant for Johnson Control's Building Efficiency Business. In this role, he provides engineering guidance on Energy Savings projects and assists in the Business Performance Management of these projects for the states of Texas and New Mexico.
Since 2007, Eaton has served as a representative on Clarkson's Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering Advisory Council.
Originally from Rochester, N.Y., Eaton currently lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Joanne, and three children: Elise, Exavier and Elijah.
Jody A. Markopoulos
Jody A. Markopoulos received her bachelor of science degree in interdisciplinary engineering & management from Clarkson University in 1993. During her four years at Clarkson, Markopoulos was an active member of University life, performed independent research and was a member of the Sigma Tau Iota Honorary Society.
GE Intelligent Platforms is a high-performance technology company with expertise in automation to optimize today's growing Industrial Internet, and a global provider of industrial software, control systems, services and embedded computing. Markopoulos was appointed CEO in March 2011.
After graduation, Markopoulos joined GE Energy as part of the Management Development Program. Thereafter, she assumed various global supply chain management roles in GE Energy. In 1998, Markopoulos was designated a Certified Purchasing Manager by the National Association of Purchasing Management.
In 2002, she assumed the role of general manager of quality for GE Energy, a role she held for three years. In 2005, she was appointed general manager of sourcing where she led the management and procurement of more than $15 billion annually in material and services worldwide. Markopoulos was appointed a vice president and GE officer in 2007.
Markopoulos's commitment to Clarkson has been long standing. She sits on the board of trustees and currently holds the position of secretary. She is active in Clarkson recruiting, representing GE as the company executive for Clarkson, and served from 2008-2012 on the Dean's Leadership Council of Clarkson's Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering.
As a volunteer and mentor, Markopoulos is passionate about mentoring young women interested in engineering and manufacturing as a career. She has been involved in Junior Achievement, Girls Inc., Sally Ride Science and worked with school-age girls in New York, Georgia and Virginia to promote math and science. Markopoulos also is active in GE's Women's Network and spearheaded one of the first Take Our Daughters to Work Day programs in GE Energy.
Markopoulos lives in Charlottesville, Va., with her family.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Posted 6/26/13 (Wed)
By Olivia Sundeen
Farmer Intern
The growth in the number of students attending McKenzie County Public School District No. 1 in the future is not going to slow down. And in fact, according to a new study, the district will be joining the ranks of the state's Class A schools when its enrollment tops 1,600 students by 2017-2018.
And that projected growth in student numbers has the school board and administration looking at building another school building.
The study, which was conducted by RSP, was presented to the school board during an impromptu meeting on Tuesday, June 18.
"Based on the results of the study," stated Steve Holen, superintendent for McKenzie County Public School District #1, "the district will need a third educational building to address overpopulation that may begin as early as the 2014-2015 school year."
Robert Schwarz, a Principal Planner for RSP, discussed the growth in the community and its effect on the education system.
"Accuracy of this study is designed to fit this area," stated Schwarz. "This community needs to look to provide amenities, like quality education facilities, to keep people here."
RSP's research-based statistical model projects that by the 2017-2018 school year, there will be 1,622 students in grades K-12 compared to the current enrollment of 867.
"It is difficult to get 'good data' in this environment," stated Holen. "However, the data provided to the district with this study is deemed to be the best data available for us. And it provides the district with a high level of confidence in what the actual student growth will be to make sound decisions with future facilities."
By 2014-2015, Watford City High School is projected to reach 545 students. This number exceeds the capacity of the current high school building. And by 2015-2016, the elementary school will outgrow itself as well. If the numbers hold true, the school board will have no choice but to take action.
According to Holen, it doesn't matter whether the community or the school district is ready or not, the students will come. And in order to eliminate overcrowding, a third building will be needed.
"Ultimately, it is important for the quality of education to ensure quality facilities are available," stated Holen. "It is time to move from temporary solutions, such as moving the sixth graders to the high school, to a permanent solution."
RSP claims 90 percent confidence in their study and enrollment projections. Holen feels it is in the school board's best interest to move forward with planning that could accommodate a construction timeline.
"We are planning for the 2015-2016 school year," stated Holen. "If enrollments increase faster than projected, temporary solutions may be needed until the third facility is completed."
As the school board begins the planning process for a third building, their current goal is to gain support from the community.
"I hope the community supports the need for the school district to expand," stated Holen, "and to meet the needs for our new expanding community."
Up to this point, according to Holen, the school district has done due diligence to use current resources and accommodate the growth. But in order to stay ahead of the growth, it will require a more substantial investment that can't be done without the support of the community and the education process.
"I am very confident that our community and its progressive nature will support the need for another facility," stated Holen, "and the opportunities that a new building will provide our students and the community as a whole."

Dear Farm Industry News,
We enjoy your magazine the most of all the magazines we receive. You get to the issues.
In regard to treatment for Asian soybean rust, everybody is talking about how to prevent or treat for Asian rust in Brazil. I believe most varieties in Brazil are determinate soybean varieties (you can check). My concern is that no one has told us if Brazil has indeterminate soybeans in the southern regions of Brazil and if they have any experience in spraying indeterminate soybeans for Asian rust.
Indeterminate soybeans have a much different growth pattern than do the determinate soybeans. Indeterminate soybeans continue to grow and put on new leaves most of the summer. Determinate soybeans flower in a short period and do not put on a lot of new leaves after a certain period. If you think about spraying a preventative foliar fungicide for the Asian rust on an indeterminate soybean variety, the new leaves that it put on every few days will be unprotected. This then leads you to the question, what effect will spraying fungicide on indeterminate soybeans have on yields in the Midwest?
I believe that most soybeans that are grown north of Missouri latitude are indeterminate varieties and south of Iowa has determinate soybeans. A lot of acres in the Midwest are indeterminate soybeans.
In regard to foliar fungicide treatments, farmers need a chart that guides them in choosing a fungicide that not only tells them the fungicide to use for Asian rust but also tells what other fungi (if they do not have rust on their farm) a certain fungicide will protect the plant from.
Best regards,
Denny Winterboer
Hi Denny,
You pose an excellent question. As you point out, indeterminate soybeans will require more vigilant scouting and potentially more spraying to protect the new leaves and pods.
Mississippi State University says, "For indeterminate soybeans, timing of applications in relation to growth stage is much more difficult because the plants continue growing and putting out new leaves and flowers. Thus, indeterminate soybeans may require more sprays with shorter intervals between sprays, because new leaves may be exposed to infection every week."
Read the full report at http://www.extensionplantclinics.msstate.edu/diag.keys/field/soybean/soy.rust/main.soy.rust.may.2004.2.html.
Also, Brazil does grow both determinate and indeterminate soybeans. A soybean rust trial in Brazil conducted by Bayer Crop Science, for example, demonstrates levels of control over time with various fungicides using one application. Read the report at http://www.ipmcenters.org/NewsAlerts/soybeanrust/BayerBrazil2002-03.pdf.
Syngenta is another company that has extensively studied rust control methods in Brazil. Syngenta states, "Understanding the growth stages of the soybean plant is a very helpful tool in predicting when the crop is most vulnerable to soybean rust and scheduling fungicide applications. The growth stage chart pictured in this document (www.syngentacropprotection-us.com/navigation/images/soybeanrust.pdfand discussed in detail at http://www.planthealth.info/growthstage.htm) applies equally well to determinate and indeterminate varieties."
Thanks for reading Farm Industry News!
Best regards,
Wayne Wenzel, Senior Editor

(The Root) — In Washington, D.C., whose residents include the leader of the free world, there's an interesting juxtaposition. The ornate and imposing buildings that house our federal government stand tall over streets battered by a crushing epidemic. And, in a city all too familiar with power and authority, the rampant HIV/AIDS problem in the nation's capital seems out of control.
From July 22 to July 27, leaders, politicians, scientists and more will converge on Washington, D.C., during the 19th International AIDS Conference, or AIDS 2012, the first in the United States since 1990. The event's theme is "Turning the Tide Together," and, for some, this year's conference represents more than academic findings or roundtable discussions — the conference represents optimism and assurance.
"The conference is convening at a very pivotal time in the HIV/AIDS movement," Shawn Jain, AIDS 2012's U.S. media relations representative told The Root. "There have been such exciting scientific advances in the past couple of years that have really changed the landscape of the epidemic."
But, today's not the time to step back HIV/AIDS initiatives, according to Jain. It's time to increase momentum within HIV/AIDS activism.
"[We are] challenging all stakeholders to harness their expertise, energy and resources to mount an effective response," Jain said. "We really believe that this could be the turning point in the epidemic."
If tides are turning at this year's conference, there are few places better to play host to the event than Washington. In the nation's capital, which is home to about 600,000 people, 3.2 percent of residents are HIV-positive. And, the rate of HIV infection among black men in Washington is more than double the city's overall average.
"I remember how we were the first to make great advances in a city when it came to HIV/AIDS," Darlene Nipper, deputy executive director for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and a former HIV/AIDS street outreach educator in Washington, told The Root. "We were the first at the time [in the 1980s] to create a city agency to address HIV/AIDS."
In comparison, the African countries of Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo all have rates lower than that of the District of Columbia. In fact, if D.C. were a state, its rate of HIV infection would be five times higher than any other, according to PBS' Newshour.
Until recently, having the conference in Washington, D.C., was not an option. AIDS 2012 was made possible in October 2009 by President Obama's reversal of decades-old restrictions on HIV/AIDS travelers — a move that allowed HIV-positive activists and researchers from abroad to attend.
"[The conference] will also shine a light on HIV/AIDS as an issue in the United States," Jain said. "There's a kind of AIDS fatigue [in the U.S.], and having the conference back in Washington, D.C., is a big step."
AIDS 2012 features an impressive list of prominent speakers, including former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as philanthropist and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, and entertainers Elton John and Whoopi Goldberg.
And, while the conference will bring together prominent voices in the AIDS world, including scientists, policymakers, advocates and more, connecting these leaders to the HIV/AIDS community is key.
The conference features a 190,000-square-foot park called the Global Village, which is free to the public and offers cultural presentations, wellness workshops and more.
"One thing that makes this conference really unique is that it brings together communities, policymakers, leaders from science to chart the path for the HIV/AIDS epidemic," Jain said. "[The conference] has real, substantive connections to the community."
Leaders in the fight against HIV/AIDs suggest that ingenuity and visibility may be key to combating the epidemic, and this year's International AIDS Conference will highlight the initiatives and increase the awareness necessary to make the unrelenting epidemic history.
"We have to keep our finger on the pulse," Nipper said, "and continue to find innovative ways to prevent exposure to HIV."

Duck Studios, a Los Angeles based animation studio, just released a series of promotional videos for the U.S. Olympic team. The videos are short profiles of U.S. Olympic or Paralympic athletes, accompanied by some eye-catching animation.
Each of the perfectly charming videos uses a different style of animation to tell an athlete's story, and they are worthy of your time. Another batch of films was released earlier this year, but today brings a fresh set. You can watch all of them at Duck Studios' YouTube channel.

This spring saw the launch of several new inkjet printing systems that are pushing the technology into new realms of speed and versatility. This overview details key features and capabilities of new solvent and UV inkjets that are well-suited for the
The menu of high-performance wide-format inkjet printers continues to grow, and screen shops hungering for faster and more capable systems now have several new options to settle their appetites. The machines are tantalizing for a variety of reasons— throughput, media supported, functionality, affordability—and come from seven manufacturers with long track records in producing digital printing equipment. In all, these manufacturers have introduced ten new printer models, nine of which are discussed here. For information on the tenth system—the MacDermid Colorspan 5400uv—turn to the Product Update on page 10 of this issue.
Mimaki JV5 260S/320S
Mimaki entered the realm of superwide-inkjet manufacturers with the addition of two new models to its JV5 printer line: the JV5-260S with a 102-in. print width and the JV5-320S supporting print widths up to 128 in. Both are billed as machines that support high-quality, highspeed printing for extended periods.
The new printers feature a staggered array of four printheads and provide output resolutions ranging from 540 x 720 dpi to 1440 x 1440 dpi, determined by the print mode the user selects. They print in either four (CMYK) or six (CMYKLcLm) colors and can be used with ES3 lowsolvent inks or HS standard-solvent inks (one or the other, not both), which are available in double cartridges that contain 440 ml of ink.
The print speeds achievable with the machines are dependent on the number of colors being printed and the number of passes made in each print mode, which varies from four to 32 passes. In the fastest printing mode (four pass with four colors), the 260S achieves speeds of 581 sq ft/hr, while the 320S will output at 645 sq ft/hr.
To support near continuous printing, Mimaki has equipped both units with feed and take-up systems for heavy roll media that will support rolls weighing up to 220 lbs on the 260S and 285 lbs on the 320S. A special tensioning bar and winding device ensure that the media is fed to the printers under constant tension. The inkjets, which automatically detect media thickness and adjust printhead height, will print on substrates up to 0.04 in. thick. They also incorporate pre-, print-, and post-heating systems to optimize ink adhesion and durability. An available cutter will automatically sheet printed materials. Both models are driven with the Raster Link Pro II RIP. www.mimakiusa.com

Most species on Earth are animals, and most animals are invertebrates, so most of the Earth's astonishing biodiversity is in the invertebrate animals. Unlike us, invertebrates are animals without a backbone. In size they range from microscopic copepods to the giant squid. In shape and lifestyle they present stunning variety: from worms to crabs, jellyfish to sponges, sea stars to squid. All of these are marine invertebrates.
The Marine Biodiversity Center is the Museum's core facility for the curation of these remarkable animals. Collections come to the Museum from a variety of research projects and government agencies. These collections document and archive the particular diversity of the invertebrate fauna both regionally and worldwide. Preserving the specimens and the data associated with them is a challenging and ongoing responsibility of the Museum.
The Marine Biodiversity Center's staff is dedicated to evaluating the incoming collections, applying the most appropriate curatorial procedures for the specimens, and organizing the collection information. Curated specimens may be maintained by the Marine Biodiversity Center itself or transferred to the holdings of other sections within the Museum.
"Black Sea Nettle"
Chrysaora achlyos
This giant jellyfish was described in 1997 by Dr. Joel Martin, Curator of Crustacea at the Natural History Museum. It is the largest invertebrate discovered in the 20th century. Its oral arms can be up to 20 feet long and its tentacles, which are covered in stinging nematocysts, up to 25 feet long. Its sting is painful, but nonlethal to larger animals like humans. The black sea nettle lives along the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Southern California, probably in deep waters, but occasionally appears near the coast in large outbreaks or blooms.

We answer e-mails almost every day, and answer many questions time and time again. Please see most of the common questions that we answer in the faq. If your question is not answered here, please contact us!
Twin Gear Juicer (Green Power / Green Life / Green Star)
Is the green life juicer good at juicing fruits? If Im juicing fruits and veggies in the green life juicer, do I need the fruit attachment?
What does cleaning the green power/green life/green star entail? How long does it take?
Do most people use the pasta or mochi attachments?
Do you recomend the Green Power, the Green Life or Green Star Juicer?
On the Green Power/Green Life machines, why do you need to use an outlet knob? (either normal or fruit attachment) I didn't use either knob for our first batch of carrot/apple juice, and it turned out just fine. Why is the special attachment used for soft fruit?
What is the difference between the Green Sta and Green Life Juicers?
The green life extractor makes nut butters I see. It seems that it would also grind flour from wheat berries or similar material?
What is the pasta and mochi maker?
Would you please itemize for me exactly what comes standard with the Green Power and the Green Life juicers?
Hmmm...can't figure it out, where does the pulp eject from the Green life? And into what?
How does a twin gear juicer work and is it better?
After reading, it seems like the Green Life machine is the best all around purchase with the exception of fruits. Is there a machine that answers all the needs of hard and soft fruits and vegetables. If not, will the Green life do an "o.k." job in juicing soft or should I consider purchasing an "additional" unit?
We attempted to make peanut butter using the homogenizing plate and got peanut powder (didn't taste real great either). . . read your FAQ about almonds getting powdered in the Green Life as well. Should we buy roasted peanuts (we had used raw) or did we do something else wrong?
When I juice wheatgrass with a (Green Power or Green Life), I get a lot of foam. How can I avoid this?

Han river, the main river crossing right in the middle of Seoul city, has been loved by Korean people for decades. However, despite the value of the river as a symbol of Seoul city, there was no distinctive landmark to attract visitors' interest. With an innovative idea from an employee of Seoul city hall and help from Grundfos' pump solution, Han river got a chance to embrace a remarkable landmark.
Recently, Seoul city announced its ambition to flourish the riverside areas around Han river into a cultural and eco-friendly complex, the "Han river Renaissance Project".
Banpo bridge, which is one of the 27 bridges that connect the North and South side of Seoul city, now decorates the sky of Seoul with the world's longest fountain bridge, officially recorded by the "Guinness world records". The bridge is 1,140m long and equipped with 380 nozzles that take in water through Grundfos SP pumps and spurts down to 20m below with 190 t/min. For this project, 38 units of SP pumps have been installed. The maximum flow and head is 420m3/h and 810m, respectively.
The official name of the bridge fountain is "rainbow fountain", which resembles the beautiful scene when the nozzles spurt up the water into the sky of Seoul with many colourful illuminations. After the completion of the installation, it was introduced to the public through the major press and media as a future standing-out landmark of Seoul city and along with it, Grundfos SP pump solution was naturally exposed as highly efficient and durable pumps. GPK is very proud of its contribution to a memorable structure.

How to Make Cinerama Luau Punch
Monday, September 5, 2011 at 8:35PM |
I needed to bring a drink to pass to a pool party recently. One easy way to make drinks for a crowd is to make a punch. You can make the punch in advance, and your guests can help themselves during the party. I took a look at the Tiki+ app that I have on my IPod, and found Cinerama Luau Punch. Cinerama Luau Punch was invented in 1958 by Don the Beachcomber for the premier of the film Cinerama South Seas Adventure.
To make Cinerama Luau Punch combine:
- 8 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
- 8 oz fresh lemon juice
- 8 oz fresh lime juice
- 8 oz fresh orange juice
- 2 oz orange Curacao
- 1/2 bottle (13 oz) white wine
- 1 and 1/2 bottles ( 38 oz) gold Jamaican rum
Mix everything in a punch bowl with ice.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The rabbis teach that nothing ever happens in the course of a week that cannot be found in the weekly Torah portion read in Jewish homes and synagogues around the world. This week's portion taken from Numbers chapters 30-32 talks about Israel's war against Midian, revealing important insights about the dramatic events unfolding this week in our dearly beloved Land of Israel.
Moses is angry with the Children of Israel because in the war with Midian they fail to kill the evil women of that nation. In addition, instructions are given on how Israel is to deal with the spoils of the war.
One of the primary and most loved attributes of the God of Israel is that He is long-suffering and patient. He is slow to anger. The God of the Bible does not punish evil-doers in haste. He gives them time to repent, change their ways and do the right thing.
But the phrase "slow to anger" means that at some point, after evil has been suffered long, anger will be justified. There is a boiling point when justice must be meted out and punishment delivered. At that point, our Torah portion teaches, the war must be a total one. All of those who tried to destroy us – the militants as well as their evil supporters – all of them are legitimate targets.
That is the sacred national vow taken by all soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces today - to defend our citizens from harm.
From start to finish, the State of Israel has been more than patient and forbearing while under attack – perhaps even too tolerant. We have allowed countless acts of murder, terror and relentless bombings against our citizens, and we have given our mortal enemies every opportunity to change their ways and act in a manner that shows even a minimal regard for human life and dignity.
But as we can all now see, with time they have only escalated their deadly hostilities.
At last, only when there was no viable alternative, we acted as any nation should - with force against a cruel and barbaric enemy. And like the actions that were necessary against Midian, Israel's response today must be extensive, broad and complete. Moses rebuked his officers for waging a lukewarm war.
This week's Torah portion also reveals that the Jewish soldiers brought back the spoils of war to Moses and Elazar the Priest. Why did they do this? Because they were honorable and upright, taking nothing for themselves that did not rightfully belong to them. This high moral standard, this "purity-of-arms" still guides the armies of Israel today.
Let there be no doubt. The IDF and her brave soldiers are one of the most moral fighting forces in the world today – perhaps in all of history.
May the All-Compassionate, Almighty and Merciful One look upon these remarkable virtues and grant the armies of Israel success to bring our nation safety and lasting security in our land.

I recently purchased a used Winchester model 52, 22 long rifle bolt action firearm made in Japan by Miroku. It appears to be a very nice firearm. I started looking for a scope base to go on the receiver of this gun where it is drilled and tapped. I'm in my 2nd week of research and have had quite an ordeal trying to find out anything about a scope base other than they all seem to be discontinued.
The original Winchester 52, made in the U.S.A. between 1934 and 1969 used "scope blocks" on the barrel, one in front of the receiver and another one about 4-6 inches out on the barrel. The long Unertl scope was mounted on these barrel blocks and I guess kind of cantilevered back over the receiver. In the 1990's when Miroku made these guns for Winchester and Browning, they changed the scope mount to the receiver where it is drilled and tapped with 2 holes in front of the ejection port and 2 holes behind the ejection port.
Burris made a scope base for these Japanese reproductions and it's model number #41030 has long been discontinued. I contacted Talley with no help. I called EGW and they made a Picatinny rail base that is mounted to the barrel where the original barrel blocks must be removed. They do not make a mount that goes on the receiver.
I have searched and searched the internet for a week with little success for any references to the Japan made, Winchester stamped model 52, or the Browning stamped model 52. It seems like these guns didn't exist when it comes to finding scope bases.
Does anyone on here know of any scope bases that will work on the Japan Winchester or Browning 52? I have Leupold standard 1-inch rings for those type of bases, and I have Burris XTR rings for Picatinny or Weaver bases. There must be some other bases maybe designated for a different rifle that has the same screw spacing as these Japanese model 52 rifles?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Another week without success and this beautiful rifle goes back to the seller.

Well, I don't have to worry about finding a scope base for the Miroku made Winchester model 52 bolt action rifle. I took it back to the seller and swapped it for a 1958 made Winchester 62a in 97+% condition. This was someone's safe queen. Not a mark on it. Only a little bluing off of the action slide where it moves in and out of the receiver. The only other distraction is the inner magazine tube. It's a little bent and out of round. So it's a little hard sliding in and out of the outer magazine tube. I've looked up replacements, but they are all Chinese made, brass, and have a plastic follower. The original tube is steel and has a metal follower. I've polished the original steel tube and that made it a little easier to move. But it doesn't distract from the operation of this nice little rifle. I plinked some 4 inch knockoff steel targets today and was able to hit all of them on the first shot at 25 yds. Not bad for these 68 year old eyes that suffer from Vitreous Membrane Detachment. Some day I'll set up the shooting bench and do some double sandbag rest shooting with a bunch of different ammo to see what it likes.
Looking forward to the range report Rod !!

This question already has an answer here:
You have n balls, and n boxes. There is a pairing of each ball to a box (and vice versa). If you were to randomly place balls in boxes, what is the probability that none of the balls would go in "their" box?
I've solved this numerically for:
n | probability
1 | 0
2 | 1 / 2
3 | 1 / 3
I believe an analytic solution is possible, but I've yet to be able to formulate it.

Johnny Spillane Retires
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO (April 23) – World Champion Johnny Spillane (Steamboat Springs, CO), who set the pace for the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team over more than a decade, is closing the chapter on an historic career that saw him win a World Championship and three Olympic silver medals. After 13 seasons, Spillane made the retirement decision this spring to spend more time with his family in his native Steamboat Springs home.
"What I'll take away from this career is that I was a part of something special," said Spillane. "We committed as a group to becoming the best and doing everything we could to achieve that. I'm really proud of what our team has accomplished while I've been a part of it - whether it was a teammate or myself."
Spillane was part of a nordic combined incubator in Steamboat Springs in the 1990s under the leadership of coach Tom Steitz. He made his World Cup debut in the 2001 season. Two years later he opened the 2003 campaign with three straight podiums in Trondheim, Norway. That February he became the first American to win a World Championship in nordic combined, taking gold in the sprint event at Val di Fiemme. In Vancouver, he worked with teammates strategically and took America's first nordic combined Olympic medal with silver, going on to lead the team to silver in the relay and backing up Billy Demong's gold with silver to give the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team an unprecedented four medals in 2010.
But as Spillane reflected on his career, one of his most notable memories was when he paired with teammates to win the team event at the 1999 FIS Junior Nordic World Championships in Austria (silver a year later). "That started us off and put us on the map as a team," he reflected.
Just nine months before Sochi, Spillane is putting his family on top and looking forward to spending time at home around the Colorado cowboy town. "Basically every spring I reevaluate where I'm at," he said. "I just got to the point where I didn't want to be away from home anymore. There's so much travel involved in what we do and I just didn't like being away from my girls and watching them grow up on a computer. I'm really happy to be home now. I'm very satisfied with my career and now it's time to do something else."
"Johnny believed in himself and believed in our ability and his ability to the point where he was able to break through barriers that Americans had never broken before," said Olympic champion and teammate Billy Demong. "He paved the path for the rest of us to have the same success. His retirement is bittersweet. For sure I'm bummed that we're not going to be together at the Olympics next winter. But, at the same time, I'm excited for him and I know that he's moving forward in his life plan and taking a chance, taking a step forward in following another dream."
"Johnny's been a great teammate," added Demong. "Not only did he lead the way for a lot of our success, but he's always been one to do whatever he can for his fellow teammates, even when he's hurt or struggling skiing to be able to lead and help out."
Spillane's leadership was echoed by his former teammate and now nordic combined Head Coach Dave Jarrett. "For me, the biggest thing with Johnny has been his leadership by example. He's always the first guy in training and last guy to leave. He was always prepared. He was ready to go to work every day, every competition, every training session. He was willing to do everything and do all the work, to suffer, to go out in the rain, to go out in the cold, to go out in the snow - whatever it took."
One of the hallmarks of Spillane and his teammates is their motivation to keep the spirit alive. "To younger athletes, I want to say anything is possible as long as you're willing to do the work and give yourself every opportunity to succeed by training hard and solely committing to what you're doing," said Spillane.
"I'll always be involved in nordic combined in some shape or form. It's a big passion in my life. I want to thank the U.S. Ski Team and all of my teammates, coaches and technicians for doing such a great job over the years and really being behind allowing us to compete. Also, I want to recognize the support that people around the world gave me.

Meet Jo Ann Okabe-Kubo
After working nearly 30 years at De Anza College, Jo Ann Okabe-Kubo says she uses one or two things each day that she learned earning her B.A. in sociology that help her relate to faculty, student and community member needs and requests.
"My parents always said, 'No matter what happens in life, your education is something that you will have forever. It is something that no one can take away from you.' I think this was in reference to losing our rights and freedoms with the WW II incarceration of Japanese Americans," Okabe-Kubo says.
As she values her own education, so she values helping other achieve theirs. The LEAD WMST21 students recently asked her to take part in creating a short video for the California History Center Oral History Project. "Jo took her own time to tell us about why she loves working at De Anza. The affection she has for her job and our students is inspiring and seldom equaled," says her nominator, instructor Marc Coronado. Coronado teaches English, Women's Studies and Chicana/o Studies.
"I am particularly grateful to Jo for her kindness and the patience she exhibits toward the LEAD mentors and the IIS interns," Coronado says. "She has helped them become respectful and productive adults through her compassionate guidance of their everyday work and her true interest in their lives."
Okabe-Kubo likes working in an educational environment where she can "give back" to students and faculty. "There were so many dedicated educators and support staff who made my college life memorable," she says. "It's exciting to me to support De Anza College students in a safe environment enriched with a multicultural, multi-sexual preference community."
Coronado is grateful for her support. "Joanne always makes sure all of us have everything we need as instructors and department chairs to run our everyday work efficiently, and she still has time to show students where to find classrooms, organize the use of the MCC activities spaces, and help instructors figure out all of the complexities of shared office space, printing, and scheduling. We simply could not do our jobs without her," Coronado says.
"The best part of my job is the opportunity to learn new things every day from the faculty, co-workers and students who help me navigate the 21st century technology, music, youth culture and challenges that each of them face," says Okabe-Kubo. "My job means looking at challenges and frustrations as opportunities to 'stretch' and grow; and to exemplify this model for faculty and staff."
