New School
Walker Ryan 20 Questions
Interview by Blair Alley
Ryan Walker, sorry, Walker Ryan is a full-time student at UCSD. But his intellect goes much deeper than just book smarts. His mature perspective on politics, globalization, and worldly ways in general isn't normal for someone at the ripe old age of twenty. All this and we haven't even mentioned his skating yet—or his acting career.
The Napa Valley to San Diego transplant managed to make his college education and a blossoming career in skateboarding work—all in his pleasantly laid-back manner. And after making fast friends with the finest skaters in America's Finest City, Walker was soon the toast of the town and the go-to tour guide for any skate spot on the Triton campus.
So we're pop-quizzing Walker with 20 Questions about being the center of a universe comprised of higher education, a lower-life entourage, unauthorized on-campus parties, and Kate Winslet.

1. What's the difference between high school and college?
It's all relative. It comes down to if you're willing to put in a little bit of work. In college it becomes more involved because you're studying stuff you're into. High school is a lot more petty work—a lot of stuff you have to just deal with. College becomes more defined, like if you really find you're into something, you can roll with it and stay focused.
2. Where'd you get better grades, high school or college?
I've been pretty much getting the same kind of grades. College can be harder, but easier. It's not so much homework, but like a paper and a test. If you put in the time, then you can produce the same kind of grades.
What kind of grades did you need to get into UCSD?
I had pretty decent grades, it was next to like a 4.0.
[Laughs] Next to like a 4.0!
[Laughs] Somewhere around there.
3. Yeah, that's pretty good. Was UCSD your first choice?
Kind of, I applied to the UCs and picked the one I felt would be the best experience.
You defected from NorCal down to S.D.
Yeah, you know, try something new.
4. Did you know UCSD was going to have so many skate spots?
I had no idea. When I picked UCSD, I had no clue that it was going to end up being this little mecca. It was just like, "Let's try out San Diego."
Did you recognize all the spots from old videos?
Oh yeah, immediately. For the first couple weeks all I would do was cruise around this massive campus and find all these reminiscent spots from old videos and I thought, "Oh yeah, it's gonna be on."
5. How many photos from this interview are from UCSD?
I'm hoping it will be all of them [laughs].
That's amazing that you can shoot interviews without leaving campus.
Well, it's one of those schools that's unintentionally catering to skaters.
6. It seems like college campuses across the country are always good to skate, especially the UC system.
UC Irvine—look at Heath Kirchart's part. [UC] Davis has it too. UCSD has been stigmatized as one of the more bust schools, and it is that, but it's so big that you can get away with it. You can mash around and then have spots that are good for photos and footage as well. It caters to all.
7. This is so ironic because so many skaters would see college as an end to their skate career: "I guess I'll go to college since I'm not gonna make it in skating." But you're doing both.
It just shows that you never know what college can offer. For me, nothing was really going with skating after high school, so I decided to go to college and it ended up being a whole new place to work from. You never know what opportunities you'll get.
So if nothing was going on after high school, how did you get hooked up?
I had nothing planned out for me at the time, but I was getting flow.
Who was the first person you talked to, Karl Watson?
Yeah. Karl set it up and I was getting boards [from Organika]. I just came down to San Diego not knowing it was going to be so close to Kayo.
8. So sh-t started happening for you when you got to San Diego?
Yeah. I first met Karl and he sent my tape into Kayo. Then a while after I had been living in San Diego, I started skating with everybody and getting to know the team and everybody involved with Kayo and it picked up from there. But even before that I was skating so much down here, getting involved with the local scene, and just meeting all kinds of people.
How long were you living here until you were rolling with John Lupfer?
Oh, dude, John Lupfer was the first dude I met. It was perfect. I met him through this filmer Adam [Stephenson]. I met all the locals through John.
9. Ears [Justin Williams] called me a couple years ago and told me about this kid Walker he knows who moved to S.D., was going to UCSD, he rips and he was gonna call me to go skate. Then the first time I talked to you, you were like, "Yeah, I'm with these guys, like John Lupfer… " I was like, "F—k, you're already with the best dudes!" I thought you were gonna be some kid that knew no one.
I feel like I got so lucky to meet John, and then through him I met what I feel like was everybody in San Diego. I could list off names, but it goes from like the Sk8mafia crew to North County. And then it all trickles down to like some of the sponsors I was riding for.
So Lupfer is about to move into this crazy skate house we're in right now. This is actually a nice neighborhood though, right?
It's pretty nice. It pretends to be a gated community because it's right next to USD.
Yet, this house consists of you, Lupfer… I want to talk about your wacky crew, too. You're so mellow and mild-mannered, but you roll with some of the craziest dudes I've ever met, like Andy the Navy Seal.
Wacky—no. What it is, this house is just some of the homeys I grew up skating with and they've all made their way down to San Diego.
10. Who's your crazy buddy that's in the movie with you and really good at skating?
David Cole.
He's nuts.
He's like the NorCal Rosie—John Rosencrantz. Who would you equate him to?
To me, he's like a Cardiel, he just charges whatever he's feeling and rips it. I'm definitely just hyped to have the whole crew down here.
11. Tell me about the classroom parties you throw.
[Laughs] All right. Once again, college can offer some interesting opportunities. There was an art room that one of my friends knew the security code to—like a big 60-plus-capacity room. So we would just open it up to anyone who wanted to come and just have a party.
You'd just open the art room at night and throw ragers?
And you never got busted?
We got busted once.
That sounds like such a movie scenario.
It wasn't too crazy, we just got people in the room, had a good time, and cleaned up in the morning, and they would never find out.
How was living in that lavish dorm room last year?
I got hooked up with a good dorm room. I ended up looking out over the whole Southern California coast. As close to the La Jolla cliffs as you can get at my school.
How'd you score that room?
Kinda luck. Second year in the dorms. We could pick the room. You apply for a second-year apartment at UCSD, and if you don't get one, you go back to the dorm. We ended up picking a good one.
12. You're starting your third year at UCSD, what's your major?
I'm majoring in Sociology. I do an International Studies program, so that's the declared major, but I take a primary track in Sociology. I've just been taking classes that I think are interesting and I think apply to everyday life, especially if I'm going to be travelling around. I want to understand how other societies around the world work. If I'm going to have the opportunity to travel, I'd love to have an added understanding of other cultures and how they work. I look at college as not just getting a degree to get a job or something and just move along—you have the opportunity to get an education, and I'd like to apply that education to what I'm doing.
Don't you also have a minor?
Yeah, I'm minoring in Cognitive Science.
What's that?
The study of how the brain works.
Jesus Christ.
And it's sick, because at UCSD, it's one of the places in the country where they're really taking new steps and examining how the brain works and really going into it. It's like psychology, but it's also neuroscience involved.
13. Did you get called a nerdy skater in high school?
Nah, I just skated and handled school.
You gonna get that degree in four years?
Ah dude, I'm lookin' at probably five-plus years. I'm not trying to rush through school, and I want to be skating. So hopefully I can balance my time right.
What if some fat-ass sociology job [both laugh] comes across the plate at the same time Organika and C1RCA are like, "We want you to be a pro skater, you can't take that job." Which would you choose?
Skateboarding. I want to be able to skateboard the world and meet all kinds of people. In the meantime, I'm just going to go to school—why not? It doesn't take up that much time, if you can balance it.
Especially when your school is a skatepark.
What kids gotta know, I feel like, and what everybody should realize, is that college offers a more lenient schedule than anything you've ever experienced. And what most college kids do is they end up just partying and focusing on something else. When it's like, you can do anything. I feel like I've had more time to skate now than I've ever had in my entire life. In high school you have class from 7:30 in the morning until 3:30 p.m. and then you just try to skate on the weekend. In college, I go to class for an hour or two a day, and then it's like, "What are we gonna do?" "John Lupfer, what's up?" [Laughs.]
14. Do you ever skate with two T-shirts on? Like doubled up?
It's been done.
Why? That's so weird.
Sweat out the second? I don't know?
15. How many people call you Ryan Walker?
That's been the story of my life. For some reason it's hard for people. Every substitute teacher, they're like, "Are you sure your name's not Ryan Walker?"
Anyone ever tell you you have good hair?
[Laughs] It's been complimented.
[Laughs] It's good 'cause it's red.
When it gets red and flowing—as long as it's not on the Shaun White tip.
Who are your favorite redhead skaters?
Well, we can count them on one hand. Recently, Weiger, he's killing it. Oh, Jamie [Palmore], dude, Jamie's the best! Jamie's on another level where I don't even think of him as a f—kin' ginger, he's just like the best skateboarder alive. I don't mean to digress, but coming to San Diego, I've seen one of the most amazing underground scenes.
16. Deep talent pool in San Diego right now, right?
Oh my God, one of the most underrated—well, I feel like it's becoming well-known, but definitely some of the best skateboarders I've ever witnessed in person.
Like who?
Everyone from Wes [Kremer] to Tyler [Surrey], and then Jamie, Jimmy Cao, John, it just goes on. Everyone just blows me away. I feel so fortunate to witness this kind of sh-t. Just to come in and skate with these dudes. And everyone is so cool and so fun to skate with. There's no ego trips or anything. These dudes like Marius [Syvanen], Shuriken [Shannon], all those dudes—I could go on with names, but the bottom line is all these guys, to me, represent skating, having fun, and progressing the sport. And this is just one little place and I feel like it's going on everywhere.
Since you grew up skating in NorCal and now you're in San Diego, how would you describe the two different scenes? There doesn't seem to be any rivalry anymore, does there?
It's all relative. I'm from the Napa Valley, a small town in the wine country called St. Helena. I ended up getting sponsored by 510 skate shop, so I would go out to the East Bay to skate, and that whole scene was a whole other culture that was ill. Everyone was killing it. It was a new scene of locals and transplants and everyone. It was totally positive, everyone was moving it forward on the underground level. I wouldn't say it's much different here—some of the kids coming up out of San Diego are just gnarly, and that's that. It's the same kinda vibes, there're not too many cliques. NorCal, SoCal, I wouldn't say there's a beef or difference. I've been hyped to get a taste of both.
17. Okay, time to go into the IMDb.com résumé.
Oh, no.
You're SAG eligible. What does that mean?
I could apply for a SAG card. I don't know much about it. It's the Screen Actors' Guild, and a lot of people work for that card so they can get better jobs and better pay. I had one little movie role and I got SAG eligible, but I wasn't gonna get the card 'cause it would have cost the same as what I made. It's like a couple Gs.
I wouldn't say you had a little role [both laugh]. The movie's called Little Children, right?
Yeah, Little Children. Kate Winslet. Jennifer Connelly. Peep it [laughs].
You ollied and boardslid an eleven in it!
I'll ollie an eleven easy, but I'm proud my boardslide on an eleven is in that one.
How many times did you have to boardslide it?
It was this scene where I boardslid the eleven-stair as this van drove out of frame, so we had to do it over and over. I probably did it close to 40 times.
Was it like a fake movie-set rail?
No, in Staten Island we found this library that had this good eleven rail, but the landing and run-up were janky. The crew that was behind New Line Cinema, they actually replaced both. They tore out the ground and re-cemented it. So, find that rail, Staten Island.
Back to your résumé, it says musical instrument: trumpet.
Dog, I played trumpet all the way through high school [laughs]. I was in the jazz band.
Athletic skills: skateboarding, surfing, basketball, soccer, snowboarding, tennis, swimming. You surf NorCal? You surf Mavericks?
Snowbroding? You hittin' the pow-pow?
Hey look, I put the possible job opportunities. I was looking at this movie role like, I could get a couple more jobs. Why not just skate through it? It was seriously so much fun. I got my friend David Cole, who we talked about, involved. And then it was some of the best East Coast dudes. It was Joe Tookmanian, Danny Falla, and Luis Tolentino. We just hung out on the set of a movie for five days and skated flatground. We were making a nice little 700 a day. They put us up in a nice hotel. We would skate through the night. We would start at six o'clock in the evening and get off at six in the morning. Straight twelve hours days, but we had the best food. And everyone on the crew was so sick.
18. Did you meet Kate Winslet and Jennifer Connelly?
I didn't meet Jennifer, but Kate Winslet was definitely one of the coolest chicks ever. She came up to me at the premiere and was like, [in a high-pitched terrible British accent] "Hey duuude!" [Laughs] In her British accent.
That's funny that you say British accent, because it says under your performer skills that you do a British accent [both laugh]. And I'm going to have Skin Phillips and Oliver Barton review this tape, so don't half-step.
[Again in a terrible British accent] Oh, this is a problem [laughs]. I put it down because, hey, a British accent can be done. I hope it doesn't go too far into that, because I'm not any kind of an actor. When we first got hired, it was as a skateboard consultant. I helped with the spot location and with the lines in the movie so it was realistic. The director, Todd Field, who is kind of like a family friend was like, "Do you want to just play the skater?" I was like, "I've never acted before, I don't know." He eventually talked me into it, and I asked if I could bring my friend along. I got my homey in the mix, they flew us out to New York, and we did it. I'm tellin' you, it was straight-up fun. Just hangin' out on the set of this multimillion-dollar picture. We were just skating. They recreated the ABC ledges from Staten Island. I told them that was a famous spot, so they just built them at the location.
19. Here's a political one: I know you have a "No One Died When Clinton Lied" bumper sticker on your car.
I put that on after the first Bush victory. I've actually gotten pulled over for that. I know that the cop gave me a ticket for that. I got pulled over for having a road sign in my car, and ended up just getting a ticket for driving without my sixth-month permit done. But after the ticket, he went on this spiel about, "Actually after Clinton lied about Monica Lewinsky, he invaded Kuwait… " I was like, come on, I'm sixteen. I told him directly, "This is in reference to Bush lying about there being nuclear weapons in Iraq."
Well, It's a fact that 80 to 85 percent of the country disapproves of Bush. I know you support Obama, so what's your take on the state of our country and the coming election?
If people get out there and vote, I don't think there's any way we can stay under a Republican president. Even if you're not highly informed or into politics, you can look at a few things and know that there's gotta be a change. You can look at the fact that we're still in a war, and it's not coming to an end. And the fact that our economy is hurting and we're heading toward a recession. I feel like there's no way we can't elect Obama. I know I'll be voting.
20. You're kind of like the flagship dude with the relaunch of Alphanumeric, how is that going?
I've been so hyped to be a part of that program. Everything we're working towards is fresh and needed in skateboarding. We got a cool am squad we're building: Andrew Langi, Tom Remillard—some of the best skaters I've ever watched. It's got so much room to grow in skateboarding, it's gonna be sick.
Nice work. As your professor of skateboarding, I give you an A. Put this on your fridge.
[Laughs] Hell yeah. Let's just hope the real professors don't read it and kick me out of school for promoting skateboarding on campus.
Now that you've read the interview, here's what you gotta do to win. Did you peep Walker's GPA? Are you a straight A student too? Send us your report card. Best grades are getting the package! Send scans, photos, or emails with your grades to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Olympian Glebova takes the ice with Greenwich youth
Even fewer than two weeks away from the European Figure Skating Championship, Estonian figure skating pro Elena Glebova still has time for the kids.
Glebova, a 23-year old Estonian champion and two-time Olympian, stopped by the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich Saturday evening for a meet and greet with some of her young fans.
A skater since she was 5, the lithe Glebova, dressed in black tights and a black long-sleeve shirt, took several passes on the ice of the Boys & Girls Club rink and demonstrated some of her sparkling moves while also taking time to chat with dozens of kids who attended the event.
Her advice for her young fans?
"Enjoy every day on the ice and every practice," said Glebova, who trains in Hackensack, N.J., under coaches Igor Krokavec and Craig Maurizi.
"I am thankful for my coaches," she said. "They are the reason I'm improving."
Modest about her accomplishments but with a quiet confidence about her, Glebova, like many of her young fans, is a true student of the sport, and relentless in honing her skills on the ice.
"On the one hand, it's very strong and powerful," she said of figure skating. "On the other hand, it's very feminine and elegant. It's very artistic. It's more like theater."
After nearly two decades on the ice, Glebova has learned to turn the stress of training and competition into repeated success on the world stage. But before she steps onto the ice for a competition, she spends long weeks training, beginning at 8:20 a.m. most days and working out on the ice, running stairs, working out in the gym and polishing her choreography. Though she said she still feels twangs of nervous adrenaline before she competes, anticipation of her time in the spotlight doesn't rattle her -- it provides fuel for the fire.
"You always have this competitive nerve inside," she said. "To me, it helps. It doesn't disturb me. What I have to do on the ice [during competition], I've practiced so much."
Glebova's goal is to finish in the top five at the European Championship and in the top 10 at the World Figure Skating Championships in Ontario in March.
She is already looking forward to the Olympics, which will take place next year in Sochi, Russia, but, as with every forthcoming competition, Glebova is keeping things in perspective while she enjoys the ride.
Whitney Ford, a 7-year-old Greenwich resident, was in awe of Glebova's skill in the rink.
A skater for the past four years, Whitney, who skates four or five times a week and is preparing for a competition at the end of February, had a simple explanation as to why she enjoys skating so much.
"It's fun," she said with a bright smile.
Lea Ann Miller, a Greenwich resident, former Olympian, and now a choreographer and skating consultant, choreographed the routine Glebova will perform at the European Championship.
"It's really sexy," Miller said, explaining that Glebova will skate to Santana music. "It's really edgy and sophisticated. And she is in phenomenal shape."
Miller, who has worked with other Olympic skaters, said the event at the Boys & Girls Club was a win-win for everyone involved.
A welcomed respite from Glebova's rigorous training, the meet and greet gave the pro skater an opportunity to meet with youngsters who represent the future of the sport, and the dozens of young people a chance to see a champion in action -- all while participating in an activity they love.
"It's important to come together with the kids, who don't care if she's perfect," Miller said. "She's helping the kids, and, honestly, they're helping her, too."

Where is Linux's Answer to Microsoft's Small Business Server?
No Linux LAN ServerIt's funny isn't it? By default, any Linux distribution comes with business server functionality like an e-mail, file, and print serving, but Microsoft still gets the lion's share of the small business server world. What's going on here?
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10. Just like every other full-featured Linux distribution it includes a Web server, Apache 2.2.12; an e-mail server, Sendmail 8.14.3; and a Windows-compatible file server, Samba 3.4.0. In short, Ubuntu 9.10, besides being a great desktop, makes a great server. So why the heck aren't more small businesses using it that way?
Windows Small Business Server RulesBut when it comes to small businesses, many businesses are sticking with Windows SBS (Small Business Server) 2003 or considering moving to SBS 2008. Uh... why? SBS pricing has increased considerably with the release of SBS 2008. The Standard SBS 2008, with five CALs (client access license) now costs $1,089. If you want a database with that, SQL Server for Small Business, it will run you $1,899.
The cost of Ubuntu 9.10 with an unlimited number of clients and MySQL 5.1.37 for your database work? $0.00. Now, of course, the upfront cost is only part of the story. That said, to run any server operating system, whether it's Windows, Linux, or what-have-you requires expert knowledge. Since a small business, particularly these days, are more likely to have expertise instead of money on tap, you'd think Linux would be growing quickly in small businesses. It's not.
Why not? George Weiss, Gartner VP and Distinguished Analyst, said it's partly a problem with how Linux companies sell Linux. "Linux distributors primarily see distribution as a packaging exercise, not a marketing one--rightly or wrongly. They will fashion the package at the device level such as server, PC, mobile. But the specific application or business focus, it seems to me, are up to the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), channel partners, SIs (system integrators), ISVs (independent software vendors), etc. to create the end user environment, whether it's HPC (high-performance computing), SMB (small to medium business), Web, app, DBMS, etc."
Weiss added, "They also want to keep the subscription plans as simple as possible. Red Hat not too long ago simplified some of its plan although it still includes a pretty complex matrix."

Stephen King Makes a Wish
Political polarization is one of the most worrisome phenomena even in established democracies—or perhaps especially in established democracies. With a divided electorate and a legislature unable to compromise, the business of governing essentially comes to a standstill. And damage will be done. There is little doubt that the media plays a significant role in confirming people's political views, forming them, and eventually cementing them. Novelist Stephen King recently had a brilliant idea for countering polarization of the media and the audience—force people to watch media from the political side that is opposite their own.

Spot or Not: The Tracks
San Antonio, TX
by Reed Watson
When the first Toe Jam stop in Texas came around I decided that I wanted to drive tout here and bring my winch along. My good friend Gabe Paulson flew down a few days early to San Diego to attend in some wakeskating activities, visit, and join along in the journey east. We left late one afternoon to make an 18-hour drive through the night to Texas. We arrive to a spot at 7am, which I had found earlier on google maps. This spot didn't look that great though, and we decided to move on. We saw this water way and knew there had to be something else, so we continued our searching. There was another spot we came across, but it had several rocks throughout and decided to keep looking. After getting lost in a neighborhood and passing through a ghetto park, we ended up at a water drop. With little sleep and being exhausted, we decided to go to Denny's to eat and then find a hotel for a few hours sleep.
After we got some rest, we decided to drive 30 minutes back to San Antonio to see what this new spot had to offer. This spot had plenty of takeoff and landing, had about a 6-foot drop, and had about 2 feet of water to land in. This spot seems like you could session it anytime you want. Gabe, Steve Campbell, and I went there twice with no hassles. This spot also has a pool that you could carve around into an ollie out over a small gap. There is a little flat bank with water flowing on it that you could slide around if you want. Also there is some cement that you can wax up to slide. We didn't session all the spots, but I'm sure this isn't the last time that we'll be here. There are a few dead posoms floating around here though that might change your mind about this spot.
Thanks to Epic Boats for helping out with the trip.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, spread butter on both slices of bread.
Once the pan is warm, add 1 piece of bread, buttered side down, and top with cheese and peach slices. Cover with a few arugula leaves, if using. Allow to cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Close the sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up, then flip and cook until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, another 4 to 5 minutes.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women who walk with flat feet are 50 percent more likely than those with normal or high arches to have low back pain, a new study suggests.
"The key takeaway from the study is that if women have low back pain, it may not be just the back," said senior author Marian Hannan of the Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife in Boston.
"It turns out that feet are important for the back."
Past research has hinted that low back pain, which affects roughly one in five people worldwide, could be related to the shape of the foot's arch in the standing position.
This study, published in Rheumatology, focused on the arch while a person walked.
Among 1,930 men and women recruited from Framingham, Massachusetts, pronated feet - which tend to roll inward as a person walks - were linked to lower back pain in women only.
"There has been only weak correlation between pronated feet and low back pain so I was happy to see some evidence of this in the study," said Christopher Kevin Wong.
He is an associate professor of rehabilitation and regenerative medicine at Columbia University in New York City and was not involved with the current study.
For their study, Hannan and her colleagues measured each person's arch in the standing position. Then participants walked across a mat with embedded sensors to measure pressure from the heel to the tip of the foot while walking.
"It's a method that shows promise, and will need to be validated against other measures of motion analysis," Wong told Reuters Health.
For example, another method includes marking a person's leg with ink at the joints in order to detect under- or over-pronation movements.
Women in the study were in their 60s, on average. About 38 percent overall reported having low back pain.
Dr. Stephen Pinney, an orthopedic surgeon at St. Mary's Medical Center in San Francisco, called the size of the study "impressive."
He told Reuters Health future studies should follow participants with different arches forward in time to confirm these findings. Research should also determine what effect, if any, interventions such as orthotics might have on who develops back pain.
"We've known that putting a patient in a foot cast after surgery, for example, can lead to lower back pain because this creates asymmetric forces on the back," said Pinney, who didn't participate in the new research.
Hannan said the body may use other muscles to help make up for flat feet when a person walks, which could explain the link to back pain.
Standing and walking use the foot in different ways. Both a flat foot in standing position and a pronated foot walking could be something to consider during a doctor's visit, Hannan said.
She and her team suggested reasons why women could be more affected by flat feet while walking than men.
For example, women's pelvic bones are wider and not as flexible as men's. In general, women rotate their hips more than men while walking. Women also move their upper bodies more than men when they walk.
"Women probably don't know if their foot function contributes to low back pain, but they can find out about it," Hannan told Reuters Health.
She suggested people with low back pain visit a doctor or physical therapist.
One simple trick to strengthen muscles in the feet is to lay a towel on a flat surface and then scrunch the toes together in order to pick up the towel and lower it back down. Foot orthotics are another option.
"Once you have back pain, you'll want to do core muscle exercises and perhaps take anti-inflammatory medication, but anything that is contributing to asymmetry - you will also want to address that," Pinney said.
"There are a bunch of different reasons for getting low back pain, and this adds another category for people to consider," he said.

Stacy Stabile stood in her doctor's office and held her breath until her lips turned blue.
The 10-year-old wasn't goofing off, nor was she throwing a temper tantrum. Stacy has Pitt Hopkins syndrome, an extremely rare condition, and breath-holding is one of the main symptoms of the condition.
"It took us 10 years to finally have a diagnosis," said Michelle Stabile, who lives in Upland with her husband Rick and 15-year-old daughter Stephanie. "Stacy's been poked and prodded more times than I can count. I felt so sorry for her, but at last we have closure."
Stacy, now 12, was the result of a healthy full-term pregnancy culminating in a normal delivery. She even scored nine out of 10 on the infant APGAR: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity and Respiration.
Everything continued to be fine at Stacy's six-month checkup, but two weeks later the Stabile family's world would change forever.
"A friend of mine was over and she said that Stacy looked kind of floppy," Michelle remembered. "At a year she wasn't walking or crawling or talking."
And that began Stacy's life of doctor appointments, hospital stays and physical therapy — but no diagnosis.
Stacy's delayed development qualified her for physical and occupational therapy at Pomona's Casa Colina and San Bernardino's Inland Regional Center. Michelle faithfully brought her daughter to every appointment.
"When she was 3, they gave her the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, but that's really a catchall when they can't find anything else," Michelle said.
Doctors were always testing Stacy without conclusion and Michelle had to fight the urge to blame herself.
"I kept wondering, 'Was it something I did? Was it that Coke I drank? Was it because my water didn't break?' " said Michelle, tearing up.
Stacy was about 8 when she started holding her breath and had bouts of hyperventilation.
"Then they started testing her for heart problems, but nothing," Michelle said.
It was almost two years later, while in the office of Loma Linda University Medical Center's pediatric neurologist Dr. David Michelson, that Stacy had her episode.
Her latest symptoms finally nudged testing in the right direction.
"We knew Stacy had a syndrome, but narrowing it down to which one takes time," said Michelson, who serves as medical director for the Muscular Dystrophy Clinic and the Complex Epilepsy Team Center Program at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. "I was able to input all of Stacy's symptoms in a specific database and finally came up with Pitt Hopkins."
Through a blood test, Stacy's diagnosis of Pitt Hopkins was confirmed.
"I knew it before I even got the call," Michelle said. "I had gone home and researched Pitt Hopkins on the Internet and it fit Stacy perfectly."
Symptoms of Pitt Hopkins include:
• Physical characteristics such as a small head circumference with a receding forehead comparative to the cheeks and jaw, a broad nose base with the tip full and the wing of the nose often flared a bit.
• Most children grow slowly and remain short compared to their parents.
• Low muscle tone (hypotonia) causing feeding issues in infants and slow motor development.
• Children learn to walk at a later age and have a stiff gait.
• Unusual breathing patterns that show up usually between 5 and 10 years old; during hyperventilation, the child swallows a lot more air, which causes a distended belly.
• Constipation and possible epilepsy.
• Constant moving, with many children flapping their hands when excited.
• Most children will not have any speech, although this varies with each child.
"Stacy can say 'hi' and 'mommy,' " Michelle said. "She still wakes up every night. I still use a baby monitor."
Pitt Hopkins, first described in 1978, has only a few hundred diagnosed cases worldwide, Michelson said. Stacy is his first diagnosed case, but he is sure there are many others who remain undiagnosed.
With such a rare disease, Michelson laments about the absence of clinical trials, which would lead to treatments and possible pharmaceuticals.
"There just aren't enough diagnosed cases," he said. "The benefits of a diagnosis is peace of mind. You see what you need to watch out for and there's a long list of genetic complications that you no longer have to worry about."
However, that's not good enough for those dealing with Pitt Hopkins, such as Audrey Lapidus, president of the board of directors for the nonprofit Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation.
Lapidus and her husband Eric, an executive consultant on the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," are the parents of Calvin, 3, who at 13 months was diagnosed with Pitt Hopkins syndrome at UCLA Medical Center.
The foundation, led by Lapidus and other dedicated volunteers, has steered this rare syndrome into the consciousness of medical professionals.
"In the last two years, research is moving at a rapid pace. It has started, all over the world, catching up with other rare diseases," said Lapidus, who also has a 7-year-old daughter. "It's happening at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Harvard, MIT, USC and Mount Sinai."
Currently, Lapidus explained, there is no government funding and no administrative costs for the foundation.
"All money raised has been from bake sales, T-shirts, social media campaigns, corporate donation — all private funding, and every dollar goes for research," she said.
Because of the rarity, Lapidus encourages self-awareness, research and joining the foundation's support group in order to be the best advocate possible for a loved one with Pitt Hopkins.
"Parents have to become educated," she said. "This is an opportunity to help doctors learn about Pitt Hopkins, help others get the right diagnosis and work for the best treatment options."

NO WLS 4 AACAS—Students commit to end Wylie Lynch behavior. (Photo by J.L. Martello)
Last year, the Website Twitter gave birth to a new social networking feud: "#teamlightskinned" vs. "#teamdarkskinned." The hashtags are meant to represent the superiority of one kind of African-American skin tone over another, but the feud is nothing new.
At the African American Centers for Advanced Studies Council 17th Annual Symposium April 26, members of the AACAS illustrated how the behavior on Twitter is a continuation of the Willie Lynch Syndrome. This syndrome is derived from a speech allegedly given in 1712 by British slave owner Willie Lynch about the best methods for controlling slaves.
"In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling Black Slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple and members of your family and any Overseer can use it," says a document of the speech, although some question its authenticity. "I have outlined a number of difference(s) among the slaves; and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes."
Under the theme "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," AACAS students proposed examples of how WLS pervades present day society by creating a divide in the African-American community. The students also said WLS is responsible for Black-on-Black violence because it creates rivalries between different neighborhoods.
"This is a direct result of the WLS when it states, 'whether the slaves live in a valley, on a hill, east, west, north, or south.' Where is the logic in this? First, we were being killed off by other races, now we've taken it into our own hands with gun violence," said student Sovren Gray, who led the AACAS's presentation on WLS. "What does this say about us as people? Are we so far gone?"
Gray also talked about the "good hair" vs. "bad hair" debate, depicted in comedian Chris Rock's movie "Good Hair." In the WLS this is defined as coarse hair vs. fine hair.
"So we need to ask ourselves, are we still Willie Lynching? What is good hair? Who's to say our hair is bad," Gray said. "Are we going along with the WLS every time we refer to our hair as nappy or not good?"
Other examples of present day WLS included rivalries between men and women and different age groups. In conclusion, Gray asked his peers to write down their own WLS behavior and to tear up the piece of paper as a symbol that they will not continue to perpetuate this behavior.
"In the words of Bob Marley, 'It is time we emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds,'" Gray said. "Now let's stand together with your papers and say three times, no WLS for AACAS." Gray continued, "And then tear up our past endorsements of the WLS. Again, united we stand, divided we fall."
The AACAS Council was established to support and encourage African-American CAS students. The council works to provide inspiration, learning, exposure, support and advocacy.

Clarke not open to Olsson offers
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke insists central defender Jonas Olsson is "not for sale" after rejecting a bid - believed to be £5 million - from QPR.
But Clarke admitted there is a buy-out clause in Olsson's contract which could be activated this summer by one of six clubs he has stipulated in his terms. Clarke claims Olsson is happy to remain with the Baggies - at least in the short term - after reports that he is keen to be based in London for family reasons.
The former Chelsea number two said he will not welcome any new bids for the 29-year-old player during the remainder of the current transfer window. Clarke said: "I can confirm a bid has been turned down and I don't encourage anymore bids because Jonas is not sale."
He added: "I have spoken to Jonas and he says he is loving the football here and is looking forward to the rest of the season. He will remain a West Brom player and we don't have to sell anyone. He is not for sale so there is no figure which is reasonable."
But when asked if there is a buy-out clause, Clarke said: "There is a clause in Jonas' contract which comes into play during the summer. There are six clubs that can invoke that."
The 29-year-old has been one of Albion's key performers since joining them four-and-a-half years ago. His form for the Baggies has also led to him becoming a regular for his country.
The bid for Olsson comes as no surprise as QPR manager Harry Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his defence during the January transfer window.
That need has been heightened by the fact Ryan Nelsen this week agreed to become head coach of Major League Soccer side Toronto FC.
The 35-year-old has been one of the Hoops' best players this season, but admits he is "playing on glass knees and glass ankles" and is hoping to negotiate an early exit from Loftus Road. Nelsen has now returned from Canada and trained with the west Londoners, with talks lined-up with manager Redknapp on his future.

Tapenade originated in Provence, France, as a simple mixture of chopped olives, with various herbs and spices and is often used as a spread on crackers or a condiment. There are many different recipes for tapenade, and the first step is selecting the type of olive to use. Green and black California Ripe Olives are perfect because of their mild taste and ability to blend well with other flavors. To ensure you are purchasing California Ripe Olives, check the label to see if they're a product of the U.S.
Tapenades are as varied as they are delicious, with consistencies that range from a spreadable paste to a chunky, salsa-like mixture. And their flavors can span the globe, from Greek and Mexican to Asian and French.
A simple ripe olive base is all you need to create a world of flavor.
Here are three very different approaches to tapenade. The first is inspired from where the olives come from - California - and includes garlic, shallots and fresh basil. The second has a Mexican flair with chipotle peppers and fresh cilantro. Finally, it's East-meets-West with an Asian-inspired version that balances the mild olive flavors with spicy Sriracha and fresh ginger.
Although delicious with crackers and a traditional cheese plate, there are a number of creative ways to enjoy tapenade, including:
- Mixing with sour cream for a zesty dip
- As a spread on sandwiches
- Spooned on tacos with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese
- Stuffed into chicken breasts for a flavorful kick
- Spread on pizza dough and topped with cheese and veggies

A Wallingford and Ballard urban farming group is seeking unused space to plant fruits and veggies. City Grown Seattle would like to expand in 2012, and is hoping to find residents who would like to support urban farming by letting them farm their land in exchange for a share in the farm produce.
The group exists to turn "underutilized land into productive food-growing space to feed our neighbors." Most of the farms are in backyards, and the organizers hope to double the size of their farms in the next year.
From City Grown:
We are looking for new plots and partners within reasonable biking distance of our current hubs:
- Ballard: 60th and 17th NW
- Wallingford: 41st and Eastern
- Tangletown: 54th and Kensington Pl
If you have land you would like to see utilized for our purposes, we want to talk with you about a partnership. Don't have much space? Talk to your neighbors – maybe we can create a farm plot out of several yards on your block.

Aside from tiny bags, fancy shoes, and Dolly Parton, the color beige is one of my favorite things. Weirdly, I kind of love that it's a little bland—and even more weirdly, I like hues that are almost exactly the same color as my skin. The "Is she NAKED?!" thing appeals to my "inner goddes" vs. "subconscious" (er...prude) struggle. Very Fifty Shades.
Anyway, beige was all over the resort collections, which I loved. Even better, it looked completely un-boring and chic in every iteration. And while I love peachy tan on my super-pale skin, I think it looks even better on dark complexions. So chic.
So, I rounded up my favorite champagne looks, and broke them down into where you can wear them.
First off, trick your co-workers into thinking you rolled in to the office in your birthday suit!
1. Bottega Veneta - I love this creamy, almost yellow version of tan as a head-to-toe look. I especially love the matchy-matchy shoes and bag.
2. Reed Krakoff - In my book, Reed Krakoff can do no wrong. This cut of the dress is really interesting, would be pretty much universally flattering, and also looks super comfortable. Win, win, win.
3. Jason Wu - This one's for all you Charlotte's out there. Preppy perfection!
4. Bally - Swoon! This dress is perfect for the office, but would also work on a date, out with friends, traipsing through Milan... beige lace is like fashion crack for me. Can. Not. Resist!
Next up, let's get naked on the weekend!
1. Rag And Bone - Sure, this is more gold than classic tan, but oohhh, shiny! I love the frock/leather jacket combo (like Dorito's, it's always good), especially when it comes from the Rag & Bone dudes.
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim - Champagne and aqua? Sign me up. I'm 80% sure the girl who wears this outfit is the coolest girl on earth.
3. Bally - Again, I just loved everything from this collection. So feminine!
4.DVF - Leave it to Diane Von Furstenburg to make an all-beige ensemble totally badass.
Finally, hit the cocktail or gala circuit au naturale.
1. Thakoon - It's no secret that I hardcore love Thakoon. Is there anything really to say about this dress, except, "I wanna be on you"?
2. Valentino - Pierpaolo and Maria Grazia make real-life fairytale dresses. Please see every Valentino collection ever for my fantasy fancy alter-ego. If you haven't clicked through this collection, you should.
3. Carolina Herrera - I love everything about this dress. The draping, the rosy beige, the crystal accents, I could see it passing for a very chic wedding dress.
4. Burberry Prorsom - Again, more gold than classic peach, but too beautiful not to mention.
Which is your favorite look? Will you be wearing head to toe tan next spring?
- Big thanks to our amazing intern, Serafina LoGiacco for putting together these neat collages!

I can't tell you how glad I am to see your VBSS Warriors kitted out! If you do a little looking in the archives at Proceedings you can find my thoughts in the APR 02 edition. Sometimes an article can allow you to move a point forward when a point paper does dies on the vine.
Funny how effective that works.

NJ farmer cuts faces of GOP Gov. Christie, Democratic challenger Buono in corn maze
CHESTER, N.J. – A New Jersey farmer has cut the faces of Republican Gov. Chris Christie and his Democratic challenger into a corn maze to highlight the state's gubernatorial election.
The corn was planted in June at the Stony Hill Farm in Chester.
Owner Dale Davis tells Newark's The Star-Ledger newspaper (http://bit.ly/13Fl0kE ) he chose the maze to get people interested. He says everybody recognizes Christie but he doesn't know whether a lot of people would recognize gubernatorial rival Sen. Barbara Buono (BWOH'-noh).
Christie is far ahead of Buono in public polls and leads among nearly every demographic group. He's seen as a viable contender for the 2016 Republican nomination for president.
The Morris County maze will open to the paying public Aug. 31. The election is Nov. 5.

Oxygen therapy - infants
Alternative Names
Oxygen is a gas that the cells in your body need to work properly. The air we breathe normallycontains 21% oxygen. We can receive up to100% oxygen.
Babies with heart or lung problems may need to breatheincreased amounts of oxygen to get normal levels of oxygen in their blood.
There are several different ways to deliver oxygen to a baby. Which method is used depends on how much oxygen is needed and whether the babyneeds a breathing machine.
An oxygen hood is used for babies who can breathe on their own but still need extra oxygen. A hood is a plastic dome or box with warm, moist oxygen inside. The hood is placed over the baby's head.
A thin, soft, plastic tube called a nasal cannula may be used instead. This tube has soft prongs that gently fit into the baby's nose. Oxygen flows through the tube. The baby must be able to breathe without assistance to use this type of oxygen therapy.
Anothermethod is a nasal CPAP system. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. It is used for babies who need more help breathing than they can get from an oxygen hood or nasal cannula, but they do not need a machine to completely breathe for them. A CPAP machine delivers oxygen through tubes with soft nasal prongs. The air is under higher pressure, which helps the lungs better expand (inflate). CPAP can be given with a ventilator.
Finally, a breathing machine or ventilator may be needed to deliver increased oxygen and breathe for the baby. The oxygen flows through a tube placed down the baby's windpipe. The ventilator will also breathe for the baby if the baby is too weak, tired, or sick to breathe.
Too much or too little oxygen can be harmful. If the cells in the bodyget too little oxygen, energy production decreases. With too little energy, cells may not workwell and may die. Your baby may not grow properly. Many of the developing organs, including the brain and heart, may be injured.
Too much oxygen can also cause injury. Breathing too much oxygen can damage the lung. Under certain conditions, too much oxygen in the blood may also lead to problems in the brain and eye. Babies with certain heart conditions may also need lower levels of oxygen in the blood.
Your baby's doctors and nurses will try to balance how much oxygen your baby needs. If you have questionsabout the risks and benefits of oxygenfor your baby, discuss these with your doctor.
Infants receiving oxygen by hood may get cold if the temperature of the oxygen is not warm enough.
Most (but not all) nasal cannulas use cool, dry oxygen. At higher flow rates, thisirritate the inner nose, causing cracked skin, bleeding, or mucus plugs in the nose. This can increase the risk for infection.
Similar problems can occur with nasal CPAP devices. Also, some CPAP devices use wide nasal prongs that canchange the shapeofthe nose.

As many of you know, Greg Ose and I recently spoke at Hacker Halted 2009 in Miami. We discussed a distributed password cracker that we designed and implemented that utilizes redirected browsers to build a swarm of worker nodes. The method which we demonstrated can be implemented using large numbers of otherwise useless stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. The client-side worker was implemented as a Java applet in an injected iframe.
Greg and I also showed several methods which can be used on different platforms to trick the Java virtual machine into continuing execution after a client has closed the page where it is embedded. This can be used to maintain large numbers of workers even when the vulnerable sites are not visited for long periods of time.
The following video shows the administrative interface to DistCrypt where we can add and manage password hashes.

CobraJohn123 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
RealFlair / BeeMe
Nurses from Manchester, ships from Dover or software from Sage. These are just a few of the people, equipment and processes that have been optimised using RealFlair's resouce management solutions. Formed in September 2000, RealFlair was created with the intention inventing a number of unique technology solutions that can be used by businesses to better utilize existing resources or to better plan for the impact of potential business changes. Our simulations and solutions have changed the way that thousands of people work all across the country and have saved businesses millions of pounds in the process.
We are about to launch a new web-based portal under the brand name of Bee-Me and will be rebranding the RealFlair site using the same look & feel. The logo we require must be able to work on both sites.
Small / Medium businesses operating in Retail, Transport or Logistics. We are launching a new web-based service that allows organisations to manage their staff rosters and HR functions through a single portal.
The logo should be designed to appeal to managers of these types of business so should not be cartoony, but very professional.
The main theme of the Bee-Me site will be:
1. One stop shop for HR and Rostering
2. Same money with optimised rostering
3. All your staff info in one place
4. Cost effective
We require a new company logo than can be used with both the RealFlair name and the Bee-Me name. So basically we require a logo where the name of the company in the logo can be replaced by either RealFlair or Bee-Me. Alternatively a great logo with no text is also acceptable.
RealFlair is the parent company that has been established since 2000. Bee-Me will be the new website portal for our online product.
Our company branding has always used the bee theme, and this should be reflected in our new logo design.
The logo must be professional (not cartoony) and should be able to be integrated into a clear and simple website design.
I am very much a fan of the Apple style of website, so we're looking for a logo that would fit in with that.
You can look at http://www.realflair.com for more idea about what we do, but please be aware that we will be running another project immediately after this one to redesign the whole look & feel.

It echo's Mark's advice -- find something "real" to do in the long run, but in the short run there are a bunch of things one can do to learn about parallel programming and some of the simpler aspects of "vanilla" cluster design. So consider subscribing to Cluster World Magazine -- it has a LOT of information for cluster neophytes and quite a bit for old hands as well. </plug> rgb -- Robert G.

#credit history check
Your Credit History
How you handle money says a lot about you. Credit reporting companies track your payment history and supply this information to credit card companies, banks, and other lenders. They use the information to determine if they should loan you more money. When you turn 18, you are completely responsible for what turns up in your credit report.
A credit report contains all your personal information, previous addresses, social security number. current and previous employers, and estimated income. It contains detailed information about each credit card account you own: the type of account, the balance you owe, and your payment history. Your credit report also includes information on any loans you have like student loans for college or if you ever declared bankruptcy. It is this history that credit reporting agencies use to assign you a credit score. This score determines the interest rate you will pay on any future loans.
It is a good thing to know what your credit report says. Check it once a year! Go to the Federal Trade Commission web site for information on getting a free credit report.
Credit reports and employment
After age 18, when you apply for a job, a background check often includes a check of your credit report. The three major credit-reporting agencies provide a modified version of the credit report called an employment report. An employment report is not a complete report. However, it includes information about your credit-payment history and other money habits. Current or potential employers might draw conclusions about you based on this information.
Unfortunately, a bad credit report can work against you in your search for employment. Employers often use your credit history to judge your level of responsibility. If you are not reliable in paying your bills, then they question if you will be a reliable employee.
In addition to your payment history, an employment report typically includes information about your former addresses and previous employers. Employers can use this as one way to verify the accuracy of information you provide on an application or resume.
Building a credit history
Building a solid credit history is important. How do you do that? By getting and using a credit card wisely. A good credit history will help you get a good rate for a car loan and eventually a mortgage. Those with good credit pay less for loans.
The three most common mistakes
Not using a credit card wisely. Controlling when you use a credit card and when you pay cash are the keys to good money management.
Being disorganized about paying your bills. Frequently or regularly paying your bills late will quickly damage your credit score. Setting up automatic payments from your checking account for your cell phone bill and other monthly bills can make paying on time easier.
Paying only the minimum payment on your credit cards. You do NOT have to carry a balance on a credit card to build a credit history. Paying the full balance on time will build a good history. Unexpected expenses do happen, and you may have to carry a small balance from time to time. But don't fall into the trap of paying only the minimum payment for an extended time. The longer you take to pay off your debt, the more it will cost you. Check out I Paid How Much?
