The circumstances surrounding the death of a German Shepherd mix dog dragged to death at the Colorado National Monument last week are still emerging. So we need to take care to avoid racing to conclusions before all the facts are known.
But at this point, authorities believe the stolen dog named Buddy was tied to a vehicle and deliberately pulled to his death in a horrifying manner.
The reaction around the country has ranged from revulsion to calls for vengeance against the alleged perpetrator.
It's hard to know quite how to react when such an awful thing happens. It hits most of us like a kick in the gut because pets are so trusting and helpless against the cruelty of human beings. We weep for the animals that are killed and demand that justice be served against the abusers.
Yes, justice must be served if a suspect is convicted after receiving due process under the law.
But that's not the only thing we can do for Buddy.
I have a proposition. What if everyone who is saddened and angered about Buddy's plight turned tragedy into a positive?
There are many good organizations and lots of good people who are doing their very best to make life better for all the homeless pets in our community. Why not help them with a little money or a donation of needed supplies? They would love it and you could help save some lives,
I'm going to do it. Why don't you join me? Go on the Internet and find an organization near you. One good site to find groups in Colorado is http://muttcats.com/shelters/colorado.htm.
And when you make a donation, you might include this note:
This is for Buddy, and all animals that suffer.
* * *
Wanted: One human, must be active and willing to put up with an adventurous animal pal. (Oh, and must be able to supply pal with food and shelter.)
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley has been using its own type of want-ads to match prospective owners with cats up for adoption.
The "ads" in this case are color-coded.
A cat with a "purple" code is quiet and reserved.
An "orange" cat is a middle-of-the road "shape-shifter," sometimes qiuiet and sometimes active.
A "green" cat is the most outgoing, most demanding and needs the most exercise.
The goal of Boulder Valley's program is to reduce the return rate of cats by "bringing a person and a pet together differently," said Brigette Chesne, director of shelter pragrams.
Boulder Valley has had the program four years and it seems to be working.
"Our percentage (of adopted cats that get returned to the shelter) is 9-12 percent. Nationally, other shelters have rates from 25 to 40 percent," Chesne said.
"The idea is that if we could categorize cats we could do a better job of matching them. We can suggest a specific cat for a specific person," she explained.
The program is operated under the auspices of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It was developed by Dr. Emily Weiss, with whom Boulder Valley had a preivious relationship.
"We were among several shelters that kicked off the program – the only one in Colorado," Chesne said, . (Dr. Weiss) helped us get our program going."
Chesne said the program calls for an evaluation of all cats entering the shelter.
A cat's general '"feline-ality," including valiance, playfulness,and adaptability, is assessed. Each cat is scored and then categorized. Each category is color-coded and describes the cats' feline-ality in common language terms.
Each animal's classification is listed on its kennel card at the shelter, as well as on their individual dossier page on Boulder Valley's web site.
" We don't do an assessment until the cats have been here for three days," Chesne said. "It did lengthen cats' stays with us."
In step two, a client fills out a survey about what sort of attributes the client is looking for. It asks them to identify how they envision a new cat fitting into their home and family.
Following a review of the questionnaire, staff give each adopter a color-coded Guest Pass and direct them to cats that match the color of their passes, ensuring the best match for both adopters and cats.
"If you can anticpate what the cat is going to do, we can offer kind of a predictor," Chesne said. "The adopter knows exaxtly what to expect."
Most cats adopted fall in orange category, she said.
And who gets green cats? "Those of us who love the feisty terrier dogs love the same kind of cat and active lifestyle.," Chesne said.

And I have a horsey problem. My ponies are like Laurel and Hardy. A fat Welsh Mountain pony that survives on an oily rag and is about to founder because he steals food and a neglected Arab who needs a bit of feeding up. In fact Chippy is the only horse that I've seen with a visible belly button!
Old Laurie is doing well on his Coprice diet and uber pricey lucerne hay and the ribs are now covered after just 3 weeks but I need to bring him home to avoid a one hour round trip every night to feed and to cut down on the expense. Having him at home means I can feed twice or three times a day, avoid driving after work and quarantine fat boy.
Ever since the drought, hay has been about $25 a bale (they eat half a bale a day at their current digs) and the Coprice pellets $26 for 25 kilos. Fed at 3 kilos a day, it doesn't go far and greedy chops keeps stealing it. My neighbour has a smaller paddock so I can quarantine fatso Chippy but the two can still hang around and snooze together. They've been paddock buddies for 13 years so full on separation would upset them big time. I know, I'm a sap and they should go to the glue factory but I just canna doit Captain! (Thrifty are you paying attention)
I have an overgrowth problem (nope I'm not referring to a need for a bikini wax although that area could do with some attention given the onset of Spring). The back paddock is looking like a forest so it's $350 to hire a Bobcat and driver to demolish the rabbit resort, another $500 for a slasher to bring the weeds under control . . .hang on . . *brainwave* - Son is a landscaper. Son's boss has a Backhoe and a Bobcat. Horses eat grass ergo no need for a slasher. Well it took a while for the penny to drop - I'm a bit slow on the uptake but Adam finally asked his boss if he could 'borrow' the tools of the trade for some work at home. Thanks Toddles . . .
Here is a nanoportion of the problem:
Imagine getting your fetlocks stuck in that! Let alone the tunnels beneath that resemble the Viet Cong's efforts beneath Saigon only without the wok's and sleeping quarters! Although I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd dug up a few bunk beds and a dining table. The solution? This morning Adam borrowed the work truck (he might be smelly and messy and stink up my kitchen with his garlic addiction but he's mighty handy - he does put the toilet seat down.) . . .
This has to be every little boy's wet dream. A truck, a digger and a Bobcat! (We all know what the big boys dream about!) When he was a tot, he loved playing with his Tonka Diggers in the sand pit and blew raspberry noises until his chin developed a dribble rash. No dribble today. First out came the digger and an attempt to remove an old tree stump that was clearly similar to an iceberg with massive roots beneath so we resolved to paint it orange and leave it be. (Not for the horses, for the tractor - we' ve buggered more than one tractor blade on unseen stumps!)
Then to the serious stuff. About a 15 metre square, now deserted rabbit warren with holes that could easily break a leg if you fell in one . . .naturally whilst painting a blue spray area for the lad to work in, I did! Fall in, not break a leg.
Once excavated, the fun bit . . . out comes the Bobcat which looked like more fun than a ride at Luna Park than a landscaping tool . . Look mum, two wheels!
Fill it in and smooth it over . . . .
Job's done in about an hour but packing up takes about the same time. Fitting a digger, bobcat, drills, bits, wheelbarrows and ramps onto the truck is a precision exercise. First you put the 'bits' into the bucket (which weigh a tonne mind - so of course I watched and took photographs and offered moral support "No wonder you're tired at night sweetheart. I have no idea how you do this every day! *sigh and empathy ooze*) No wonder he's developing great guns!
Then back the thing up the ramps which are about 25cms wide . . .
Then back the digger . . . .
And finally, secure the load . . .
Might seem a little pedestrian to you but today he saved me almost $1000 so board payment is suspended this month! And there's something rather wonderful knowing that a boy who grew up without much male influence is so resourceful and blokey.
The saving on board incidentally gave him enough funds to go out and buy Guitar Hero III and two guitars . . . well deserved twanging to my mind. Well c'mon he could have been an Investment Banker! Thank you darling . . next week we'll fix the fence!
Don't you love the Royal 'we'. Cut me some slack now, I did 10 loads of filthy washing and changed his sheets! That's Tit for Tat in my book!

Jeez, a serious problem with them pesky rabbits. Reminds me of the guy in London who had dug a maze of tunnels under his house and the road outside. The council had to stop him before the house and road collapsed. Nowt so queer as folk.

Bloody hell, that's handy having a son who can do things like that! As for the rabbits, you need to get a hound who'll hunt and terrorise the fluffy buggers, or a few foxes...

Oh I wish I was 24 again and single and Adam is not a toddler or a baby. Yes, I absolutely adore men who stink because they just built the Golden Gate bridge. My son is like that, he can work. My husband is the mental kind so just hires.
By the way, it looks like you live in a town all by yourselves with that rambling ranch home and all the fields and trees. Wow! (Except you have spiders and probably snakes). I cannot believe those rabbits carved that tunnel. Maybe Osama's Been Laden is hiding there? No wonder they can't find him in Afghanistan. Are you sure the rabbits were not burried alive? Why can't you just have a dog or a cat for a pet? Why do you have horses who eat up your grocery budget? Oh I forgot, you are Australian. Hehe.

Thats Some Serious Problem! Glad its sorted now ..... Just catching up on your blog now :S

horses, rabbits, bobcats, and sons: you have it all, baino!

You know they're so cute Nick but there are so many. It's not their fault they're a feral pest but you wouldn't believe the damage. I'm just waiting for the shed to drop half a metre due to the lack of subsoil!
AV Oh Yeah . . handy man indeed if I can get him working instead of partying. I have two hounds, they're hopeless. Slow "oh I've got bindy in my paw" useless! Foxes can't keep up with the wascally wabbits.
Miley now c'mon, you can erm, write without using punctuation, you can eat fairy floss without throwing up and you have a SPA! Oh Yeah . .chick magnet!
Bimbimbie we have hares too, don't they live in burrows? Tonka's rule ..hence the thrill of being able to actually drive a Bobcat, never seen him so intense.
GM . .would if I could but I have to 'book' him to do my work! Plus he's messy and doesn't pick his towels up and leaves dirty fingerprints all over the cupboard and fridge. *must get kennel for son*
Thrifty I think he has a little thrill driving the Bobcat particularly there was a Crusty Demon's zeal in there and a 'what can I squish next' glint in his eye!
Ces so many questions . .He doesn't stink . .his room does! Yeh he's not afraid of hard work I don't know how he does it 6-4 on a daily basis frankly. Actually we live in the burbs surrounded by 1/4 acre blocks, just a few five acre holdings waiting to be subdivided. Tell you there's an alternative world down there . .ever read Alice in Wonderland? And horses are . . fun when theyy're young but like parents . . you have to look after them whent they get old. Loves me old boy I does.
Matt? Which Matt? Mr R? My man in Canberra? My favourite Helldesker of all time (next to Kahler) Matt the Rat? Reveal please but thanks for dropping by anyway.
Oh yes kj I just hope he doesn't leave home while I'm still here. Mind you I managed to get dirt on my white linen shirt thanks to the residue from his landscaping gear in the washing machine so it's not all hearts and roses.
I was actually surprised that after 3 months he's got his truck licence and can 'man' a Bobcat, build a retaining wall, pave a path, build a deck and backhoe a trench with such dexterity, he surprises me constantly! And all that time at University wasting brain space on a degree!

Baino, I think this is always the same probl3m when you visit another country.
It is so time-consuming to see at least some of the main attractions and very often there is no time for an additional trip.
It was the first time that I visited those caves in my life. We spent two weeks in the region, mailny relaxing, swimming, mountain climbing, and making a trip every now and then.
Fortunately, blooging is such a good way for virtual travelling and saves a lot of time :)

If I was a bunny, I'd be very pissed off, and be organising an uprising !!
Nice to see Boys Toys .... I'd be up for that !!
Not too sure I'd be to keen to tackle the Problem 'bush' though ... do you need to get some quotes for that job !!!!!

Give Laurie and Chippy a big hug from me and I think Adam deserves a round of applause too.

Maria you can bloog if the mood takes you! And yes, I'm travelling vicariously through a few bloggers these days. Doesn't cost me a cent!
Well Jay as a widow he's lived in a house of moon cycles for 22 years and still hasn't got in touch with his feminine side! Thanks in no small part to his Grandpa I suspect. Useful he is . . .
G'day NYD . . probably buy one of those ACME bombs and blow up the bob cat!
Moon the warren has been vacated in favour of the basement flats under the shed! (which is actually a double garage on a concrete slab.) I'm fully expecting the shed to descend 18 inches into the subsoil any day! Erm, no quotes required - you wouldn't catch me dead in a bikini! Oh wait . .does my bum look big in that?
G'day Dave . . amazing? Erm, just a normal Saturday at the Homestead.
Quite right Wuffa. Now all I have to do is find someone to ferry the horses over! (ouch that'll cost)
Are you serious Bear? Maybe it's the 'human' smell or something. I can tell you they're not afraid of dogs! The problem was horses getting their legs caught in the holes so it all had to be dug and levelled.
Quickie they're a huge problem on my little block mainly due to the encroachment of civilisation. They're bold too . .even seen them on the verandah!
Oh silly Ces! I knew what you meant! He can be a bit stinky, I know, I wash his sock!
He did very well actually Megan. It's the first time he's done it unaided, impressed I was. (oops, Yoda moment there)
Haha Steph, that's a win win in my book! Although I've had to switch to screw top Chardonnay because my arthritic wrists find opening champers painful! *sob*

Cloud Haskell
Cloud Haskell is a domain-specific language for developing programs for a distributed computing environment. Implemented as a shallow embedding in Haskell, it provides a message passing communication model, inspired by Erlang, without introducing incompatibility with Haskell's established shared-memory concurrency.
Cloud Haskell is available from Hackage as distributed-process. You might also want to install distributed-process-simplelocalnet. The cutting edge development version is on github.
There is also the older prototype implementation remote (also available from github).
For an overview of Cloud Haskell it's probably a good idea to read Towards Haskell in the Cloud (details below). The relevant documentation (in order of importance is)
If you want to know more details about Closure or Static (without the Template Haskell magic on top) you might want to read

Other Useful Packages
A core concept in Cloud Haskell is that of serializable values. The Serializable type class combines Typeable and Binary. ghc can automatically derive Typeable instances for custom data types, but you need a package to derive Binary. There are various packages available that assist with this:
binary-generic and derive have been confirmed to work with Cloud Haskell; the status of the other packages is unknown -- YMMV (please feel free to update this wiki page if you have more information).

The Philosophical Revelations of Sinistar
|One of the great, unrecognized, philosophical geniuses of this century or any other is a figure known by some as Sinistar. Sinistar left behind a legacy of seven phrases that encompass his minimalist philosophy. We are fortunate enough to have with us audio records of what he said, so that we may greater comprehend his intent.
|Sinistar will always be an enigma, as nothing is known of his life. It seems as if he lived a life filled with motivation and direction, as if desperately yearning to accomplish all that he could, before he could be brought low by those who would destroy him. Sinistar's revelations follow, with an interpretation of their intent.
|1. I am Sinistar. Here, Sinistar clearly makes two ideas known. First, that he exists; he is aware and he thinks. The second is that he has a singular identity. He is unique, and, in a sense, alone. Some have argued that this may imply a sense of self-determination, but Sinistar's perspective on the free will debate is unknown. I believe that, with what little is known about his life, Sinistar would be a determinist. People are destined to act out their lives guided by the hand of another force. The rest of us are mere automatons, carrying out algorithms.
|2. I hunger. Again, Sinistar asserts his reality. He believes in a very real, physical, world and believes that he takes a part in it. Thus, Sinistar is essentially a monist. He hungers, therefore he has sense, and his senses speak to him of needs that must be fulfilled. He can trust his senses; something of a leap of faith, and therefore interact. There are two other interpretations that must be proposed here. Some have criticized Sinistar as a hedonist, attempting to consume all in his path. This is, however, clearly contradicted below. The second represents Sinistar as a living thing, and all living things must consume, or perish. In this statement, Sinistar acknowledges human mortality and our chain in the natural process of being.
|3. Run, coward! Sinistar here, having established existence and our place in nature, now seems to take his stance on ethics. With those two words, Sinistar sums up his desire to delve into life's mysteries. The act of living itself is an act for the bold, and those who cannot stand in the face of wonder should flee. This attitude may also account for my perception of his stance on determinism. If knowledge is possible (It obviously is, of course) then perhaps knowledge of the universe is possible, and one day people will view it as it is, an elaborate music box of experience. Very deistic. The other important feature of this statement is Sinistar's use of an imperative. This clearly reinforces his view of a real universe, that is inhabited by other people. The true enigma lies next.
|4. Run, Run, Run! Initially, this appears to be a restatement of #3, but I believe that the truth behind Sinistar lies deeper. It is commonly held that while Sinistar believed in a deity, Sinistar did not hold that deity to be omniscient or omnipotent. Instead, the God of Sinistar was a being (or perhaps beings) of supreme intelligence and creativity, with the power to make and compile. The power to engineer a world. While this is an impressive task, it does not imply that omniscience/omnipotence is a necessary or sufficient condition for the task. In fact, the idea of an omniscient and omnipotent being becomes fairly self-contradictory. Sinistar probably intended this to be another ethical statement, to live to the fullest of your ability, but he could've meant so much more, such as the desire to experience and question all that is possible within a lifetime. Lastly, it is another imperative statement. Why would a determinist believe that he could affect the world around him?
|5. Beware, coward! Perhaps these fragments come from a lost dialogue between Sinistar and the coward. Unfortunately, if there were every any responses from the 'coward', they are probably lost forever. This seems to be an affirmation of Cartesian doubt. One should resolve issues for one's self, based on their own doubt and deduction. More importantly, however, is the idea that God is what you make it, or, as is the usual case, what someone else makes it for you.
|6. Beware, I live! The sixth statement of Sinistar is a shocking reminder of the power that human beings hold over one another. Because I live, I have the power to affect your life. There is nothing that keeps me from harming you, aside from the mutual trust that humans develop for one another, and it is not so much a mutual trust, as we are a mutual threat to each other.
|7. Aargh. Here is Sinistar's response to the question of whether or not all problems of philosophy may be solved through mere debate. Obviously, to Sinistar, there are some things, some ideas that can be expressed beyond the wall of speech. Either that, or this is an expression of Sinistar's primal rage at a mechanical universe. Sinistar may have been a determinist, but it does not mean he was pleased with the concept. He may have just felt no other answer could be possible. Perhaps that is why he attempted to inspire so many, so they could succeed where he had failed.

The people at Intel must be a bit upset by the many stories about the upcoming Intel graphics project, calling it vaporware (which, technically, it is) and making comparisons to the last outing for Intel in graphics, the indescribably bad i740.
Now more information and rumor comes from a follow up by the guys at Bright Side of News, as they continue on the story which has been a long one, after many delays over years.
After we posted now infamous story about Larrabee, something interesting happened. Instead of closing down, we received a lot of contacts from people involved in the project and actually have an even better look inside the project than before. It looks like old saying "the truth will set you free" is true after all. Following our story about EVGA and XFX, we got contacted by companies that weren't selected and they opened up about Intel's selection process and the situation got quite interesting.
For starters, we learned that recently, Intel's again changed its attitude towards Larrabee. In the past, individuals inside the company were bullish and claimed that they'll demolish AMD and nVidia. Few quarters passed and it looked to us that the company is taking a piss at their own roadmaps; delaying each and every ASIC into the future, followed by departure of people involved with the matter. But one of high qualities that Paul Otellini has is clearing up the matter at hand. After paying the price for his predecessors and cleaning up senior management, instituting his replacement [Sean Maloney i.e. "No Baloney", as one source told us], few quarters ago Paul ordered to clean up all the projects at hand. This decision also brought up project LRB. Transistor-heavy, humongous-die, underperforming ASIC was taken apart and each and every segment was analyzed in a bid to see why the real world part didn't deliver what simulations promised. Again, if we would count out co-funded developments such as Intel's Itanic – Itanium architecture [since it was co-funded by HP], this is single largest project investment in Intel's history.
A little later we find the claim that Intel still believes that the part will surprise AMD and nVidia with its initial performance. At this point, I don't think anyone believes that Intel can't do it, they merely question if they wish to put forth the effort. This story shows that it appears to be a point of pride, and so Intel will make the parts, no matter the cost, and no matter the time involved. The company can afford to throw around a few hundred million dollars, after all, there will be huge gains, and bragging rights, if Intel can deliver "from end to end".
The article also says that the partners already chosen, eVGA and XFX, were made part of the project because of their scope of distribution (worldwide) and the ability to take care of customer concerns (warranty issues). Anyone who has been building computers for awhile knows that eVGA and XFX both have exemplary customer service.
also –
During regular quarterly meetings with large OEMs, Larrabee was recently brought out and Intel's representatives stated that the part will surprise the competition with performance. Among other things, Intel re-iterated that the part is on track for introduction in very late first half of 2010, which would pitch the part in time for 30th anniversary of Computex Taipei 2010 [June 1-5]. After checking with our own sources, we were told that these dates might work for professional parts and accelerator cards but that mainstream application compatibility is still a long way out.
If Larrabee indeed comes to market in time for commercial cycle, AMD FireStream and Tesla C2070 are easy targets; AMD's passive attitude as far as FireStream line-up is considered is exactly the opposite of what Intel allegedly offers, while nVidia's long-delayed Tesla C2050 won't arrive to market before 2Q 2010 and C2070 is delayed until third quarter 2010.
If Intel does bring out Larrabee, certainly AMD and nVidia will be able to drop prices, much as AMD is doing with CPUs right now. How long they can survive in that mode will be interesting to see, and will no doubt be the subject of many debates over the next year.
|The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

Chicago -- In his keynote address at a security conference today, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak admitted he has enjoyed many adventures in hacking often for the sake of pranks on friends and family, especially back in his college days and the early years of working on computers and the Internet.
"I like to play jokes," said the Wozniak jovially as he addressed his audience of thousands of security professionals attending the ASIS Conference in Chicago. The famed inventor at Apple admitted he also had some fun with light-hearted forays into hacking computer and telecommunications networks several decades ago back in his college years and while learning about electronics and computers.
People with imagination in engineering are naturally drawn to the idea of finding ways to bypass security controls as part of the process of discovering how things work, and Wozniak said this was especially true of himself.
"But I never once hacked a computer for real," he told his audience, meaning his break-ins and intrusions were done in the spirit of exploration, never for profit or malice. One youthful prank involved some experimentation into a shared computer system several where he left nine pages of Polish jokes that were dumped on users.
[NEWS:Ten tech titans and their temper tantrums
MORE WOZ:Wozniak questions long-accepted date of 'Day One' at Apple
OTHER WOZNIAK THOUGHTS:A 5-minute Woz brain dump (AKA, 2013 UC Berkeley commencement address)]
As a young man in college when he read an article about how tone signaling techniques could be used to manipulate telephone networks to set up calls, he said he became intrigued and had to find out more and even try it himself. He went out and learned more about the exact frequencies and tried them out on the telephone system. "I wanted to explore the network," he said. It was all a form of "White Hat hacking" he says he did but never for purposes of stealing or avoiding paying bills.
As to his famous partnership with Steve Jobs, Wozniak said the two "became best friends instantly" and they shared a fascination with finding out how networks worked in sometimes unorthodox ways.
Circumventing the controls placed by authority was sometimes part and parcel of satisfying the enormous drive he had as a budding computer engineer to experiment and grow in knowledge, he points out. Wozniak said he had a friend with the key to the college computing room and he snuck in in the middle of the night to run his computing programs on punch cards. He admitted he also used to sneak into at least one eminent Stanford institution's lab every Sunday when it was supposed to be closed to find electronics and science manuals so he could learn more. It all just shows you "the brightest people in the world tend of leave their doors unlocked," Wozniak said.
Wozniak said many of his break-in stunts were often combined with a prank, such as when he guessed his stepson's password for the Macintosh and made the files he found hard to access, while also scheming with his wife to leave a folder marked "from Mom." "He was livid," said Wozniak about the prank.
Wozniak said one of his favorite pranks was coming up with a TV jammer that he secretly used to convince friends their TV sets were malfunctioning, while at the same time instructing them in outlandish ways to "fix" the problems -- until he secretly stopped jamming their sets.
All of this youthful exuberance at the time may have occurred "because I was a geek, and had little hope of finding a girlfriend or a wife," Wozniak says.

Designing Denmark…Sean Fanning on Setting HAMLET's Stage
Sean Fanning doesn't like scenery.
This may seem strange, considering he is the set designer for Intrepid's current production of Hamlet, but when you hear Sean's take on bringing Shakespeare to life, you might understand.
"It's all about the words," says Sean, a statement that is music to Intrepid's ears. "You could do Shakespeare the way it's written on a bare stage and it's powerful because it's so imaginative."
To that end, Sean has created literal space on the stage at the Clayton E. Liggett for the "rottenness" of Denmark to play out. With the mere suggestion of a finished room, the landscape of the stage serves multiple purposes throughout the production without the necessity of changing sets or disguising scenery. Soaring colonnades meet ceilings which disappear into thin air, both uplifting the regality of the space as well as suggesting the distemper of the action to come.
"I see other plays that are more contemporary that rely so much on having to actually show people in location," says Sean. "In Shakespeare, yes, it's episodic, and yes, we're going from place to place, but we don't rely on all the typical conventions."
In other words, Sean lets the audience have a say in each location, projecting their own ideas of the graveyards, the ships, the secret rooms of the palace, and the sites of hauntings onto the canvas of his design.
"Shakespeare demands so much," he says. "If you really tried to physically transport people from location to location, you would lose some of the magic." Best to rely on the words to carry the scene, he says. And based on the high praise he has already received (local press has hailed Sean as an unsurprisingly "in-demand designer"), he's obviously on the mark.
"Shakespeare is one of my favorite things to do," says Sean, who also designs all of the MFA productions at The Old Globe in Balboa Park. Hamlet is his inaugural show at Intrepid.
Sean's design for Hamlet also captures the challenge of the thrust stage, where the audience is closer to the action, rather than gathered behind the fourth wall of a typical proscenium stage. This adds to the tension of the play, as actors have the space to move through and around the set's dimensions without the necessity of facing all of the viewers at all times. Sean has ensured that the actors always have what they need, providing built-in places for them to sit, lie down, and hurdle over. The actors help create the locations, and Sean emphasizes, "that's what's so magical about it."
"There is a sense of barrenness that the actors can fill with the words," says Sean. "So, to me, some of the most beautiful sets are bare stages." — T.T.
Catch a quick interview with Sean Fanning and see his path to creating Hamlet:
Hamlet runs through February 17 at the Clayton E. Liggett Theatre in Encinitas. Tickets can be purchased here.

Deputies apprehend suspect in Wausau-area shooting
Suspect taken into custody early Sunday in Clark County
WAUSAU, Wis. — A St. Paul man is in custody in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old woman at a Wausau-area apartment complex.

If you are moving or just hauling heavy cargo down the street, you may need to rent a truck to help you with your task. There are many truck rental companies out there from which to choose. It can be very time consuming to call each and every company in order to find out their prices to see if they are affordable or not. In addition, many companies do not offer a variety of services including one way rentals. This can make the task even more difficult if you are looking for a one way truck rental or if you need a rental trucks unlimited miles or free mileage. How can you find the truck rental that you need at a price you can afford? By using a truck rental directory online.
recommended for 1 or 2 bedrooms:
It doesn't matter whether you are moving across the country, down the street, or even if you just need to bring home your latest yard sale treasure. The fact is that you may have a very difficult time locating a company that offers the services that you need when you need them.
recommended for 2 or 3 bedrooms:
Your needs will vary depending upon what you are moving and how far you are moving it. If you need a local truck rental, you may want to choose the company that offers the best rates or the most comfortable trucks. You may even want to find a company that offers free mileage to customers. However, you may not want to spend a lot of time on the phone or the Internet researching companies. If you are moving cross country or several hundred miles away, you might need to look for one way truck rentals and unlimited miles truck rental.
recommended for 3 or 4 bedrooms:
One way to quickly find the type of truck rental that you need at a price you can afford is to use a rental truck directory. Using such a directory, you can compare truck rental rates as well as the different services each truck rental company offers. You may even be able to locate companies offering specials like free mileage or unlimited miles to customers. In addition, you can find companies that offer services like auto transport or portable storage units too. You can even use the directory to rent a truck to bring your new appliances home from Home Depot! Now that is convenient.
recommended for 5 or 7 bedrooms:
Using a truck rental directory is also a good way to reduce your stress levels by helping you easily complete one of the tasks on your "to do" list. As we all know, doing your move yourself is a great way to keep your budget on track, but it can create a lot of stress and turmoil in your life during the process. Anything that can be done to reduce the stressfulness and chaos during the move is well worth it. However, renting a truck to complete your "honey do list" tasks can be just as stressful. By using the truck rental directory, you can concentrate on completing your list rather than getting bogged down with the details. Sometimes, finding a truck to pick up that new refrigerator or second hand piece of furniture can be just as stressful as actually finding the perfect refrigerator in the first place.
One such truck rental directory can be found at www.truckrentalrates.com. Using this website, you can easily find the rental truck that you need at a price that you can afford. In addition, if you book a penske truck rental using the directory, you can get 20% off the price of your next truck rental!

Enjoy your last look at "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" before its Dec. 16 release.
The film's final trailer debuted on "Good Morning America" Thursday. The film is one of the year's most anticipated movie and, as has been true of its seven predecessors in the "Star Wars" series, Rogue One's plot details have been kept to a minimum so as not to spoil the fun for audiences.
"In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction," Lucasfilm says in the blockbuster's official synopsis. "This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Oh, the rumors are true: Darth Vader is back.
The action-adventure movie stars Riz Ahmed, Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker and Donnie Yen.
Felicity Jones Addresses Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Controversy
Unlike the biggest movie of 2015, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," Rogue One is a standalone film, not a continuation. The film's first trailer debuted to heavy fanfare in April, followed by a TV spot in August.
Jones was careful not to reveal too many details when she appeared on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show Thursday morning.
"I am saying nothing. It's all finished. It was absolutely extraordinary. I had pretty much a life-changing experience making it. Every day you're turning up and you're looking up and there's a giant monkey shooting at you with a blaster--with laser fire--so it's pretty cool," the actress told host Nick Grimshaw.
Later, Jones said, "I've seen parts of it, and it's really cool, but I haven't seen it all yet. I'm anxiously and eagerly waiting to see it."
Filming Rogue One was a dream come true for the Oscar-nominated actress. "It's a little bizarre, when you get back home and you're buying a pint of milk, and you think, 'I've just been talking to a little, many-tentacled creature all day. This is a strange, strange life,'" said Jones, who plays heroine Jyn Erso. "It's very cool--especially when you go to work and they say to you, 'Can you just pretend that you're in hyperspace?' Which, you know, you don't get to do that every day."
The film will be in theaters in 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D and was directed by Gareth Edwards, produced by Simon Emanuel, Kathleen Kennedy and Allison Shearmur and executive produced by John Knoll and Jason McGatlin.

DUI checkpoint Saturday; Truckee River booze ban begins Tuesday
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Authorities plan to increase anti-alcohol efforts this weekend as the Fourth of July — and the drunken dangers associated with the summer holiday — approaches.
The California Highway Patrol and Truckee Police Department will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on Saturday at an undisclosed location in town.
Officers will contact drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, according to a CHP news release.
"Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs," said CHP Capt. Timothy Malone, commander for the department's Truckee office. "Our objective is to send a clear message to those individuals that mixing alcohol and/or drugs while driving will not be tolerated."
The checkpoint will operate from 8 p.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday, according to CHP. Officers will strive to delay motorists only momentarily.
Funding for the checkpoint is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Consuming alcohol along the popular rafting stretch of the Truckee River between the Lake Tahoe dam and River Ranch near Alpine Meadows will be illegal from Tuesday, July 1, through Sunday, July 6.
The ban includes the beach at Chambers Landing on the West Shore. While Chambers Landing was added in 2012, the ban was first imposed in 2008 by the Placer County Board of Supervisors to address problems with rafters, such as driving under the influence, indecent exposure and fighting.
Violations are punishable by a fine of $150 for the first, $500 for the second, and $1,000 for the third occurrence (within a calendar year).
Additionally, the U.S. Forest Service's annual alcohol ban will be in effect on Tahoe's east and south shores at Nevada Beach, Zephyr Cove Resort and Zephyr Shoals (the former Dreyfus Estate) from 6 a.m. to midnight on July 4.
In Nevada, officials are upping marine patrols this weekend on Lake Tahoe in hopes of cutting back on drunken boating.
Game wardens with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, along with officials with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office and National Park Service at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, will target boaters from June 27-29 as part of a nationally coordinated enforcement effort called "Operation Dry Water."
"We say it many times, drunken boating is dangerous," said Capt. David Pfiffner, Nevada's Boating Law Administrator. "People who operate under the influence are just as likely to kill an innocent bystander as him or herself, so stay sober while on the water."
Sun, wind, noise, vibration and motion — stressors common to the boating environment — intensify side effects of alcohol, drugs and some prescription medications, he said.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 17 percent of all boat accident fatalities since 2008 were a direct result of alcohol or drug use.

In June 1985, seven EU countries signed the Schengen Agreement. This enabled the removal of internal border controls between the Schengen member states, therefore allowing easy movement within the European Schengen area. It also harmonized the visa obligations between all Schengen member states, thus making it so much easier for tourists, students or travelers on business to visit multiple European countries for a period of less than three months.
As of date, there are 25 member countries including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Traveling in Europe has definitely become easier, thanks to the introduction of the Schengen Visa.
The Schengen Visa is issued to any foreign citizen whose nationality requires a Schengen Visa. This enables the passport holder to enter freely into any of the 25 member countries without obtaining a separate visa for each country.
This only applies to individuals who are looking to visit one or more Schengen countries either as a tourist, a student or a traveler on business, for a period of no longer than three months. If you intend to stay in any of the Schengen countries for a period of longer than three months, the Schengen visa no longer applies.
Identify the country or countries you will be travelling to. It is particularly important to know which countries you are travelling to because it determines where and how you are going to send your application.
Fill out an application form beforehand to obtain a Schengen visa. You can download and print off the form online.
Prepare all the requirements for your Schengen visa application. Depending on the consulate or embassy, you required to show the following documents:
When applying for a Schengen Visa, the embassy or consulate requires you to provide current bank statements amongst other documents. They need to assess whether you have sufficient financial means of support during the duration of your stay.
Check the processing time to ensure you get your Schengen visa on time. The processing time varies per embassy, so it is important to take the processing time into account when planning your trip.

Robin Williams had early Parkinson's disease, wife says
Movie star, who was battling early stages of disease, was sober at time of death, she says
Actor and comedian Robin Williams was battling early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he had not shared publicly before he was found dead from an apparent suicide Monday at his home in Tiburon, his wife said Thursday in a statement.
The revelation came as fans around the Bay Area and across the globe struggle to make sense of the death of the 63-year-old performer, who had fought drug and alcohol addiction and depression.
"Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly," his wife, Susan Schneider, said.
An estimated 1 million people in the United States have Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder that progresses slowly and affects movement and mood, according to the National Parkinson's Foundation.
Tremors, slowed speech and sometimes dementia are among the symptoms of the incurable disease.
Several celebrities have waged public battles with Parkinson's, including singer Linda Ronstadt, who revealed in 2013 that she had the disease, and Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 before publicly disclosing his condition in 1998.
"Stunned to learn Robin had PD. Pretty sure his support for our (foundation) predated his diagnosis. A true friend; I wish him peace," Fox tweeted Thursday.
Depression is sometimes a symptom of Parkinson's. Nearly 16 percent of adults reported experiencing major depression in the past year, but for Parkinson's patients that percentage is roughly twice as high, said Patricia Arean, a professor in psychiatry at UCSF and licensed clinical psychologist.
Effects on mood
In some cases, the disease influences the brain's ability to produce serotonin - a chemical thought to contribute to happiness.
"If he was already suffering from depression, the Parkinson's would probably make it worse or harder to treat," she said. "In his case, he already had several risk factors (for suicide). He was an older white man, he had a history of substance abuse, and a new illness that's known to affect mood - and a history of depression."
Older white men are more likely to take their own lives than any other demographic, and suicide rates among that group have shot up in the past decade, Arean said. Experts can't pinpoint one factor in the spike, but Arean said it might be linked to the stigma around admitting a struggle with a mood disorder.
Williams was last seen alive at 10:30 p.m. Sunday when Schneider went to bed, said Marin County sheriff's officials. On Monday, his personal assistant became concerned after he failed to answer knocks at his door, then discovered his body hanging from a belt around 11:45 a.m., said Lt. Keith Boyd, the assistant chief deputy coroner.
'Love and respect'
Schneider did not directly address the suspected suicide.
"Robin spent so much of his life helping others. Whether he was entertaining millions on stage, film or television, or troops on the front lines, or comforting a sick child - Robin wanted us to laugh and to feel less afraid," she said.
Williams' three children - Zachary, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody Williams, 22 - had earlier released statements expressing sadness and confusion over their father's death. Cody Williams said there were "no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father." He expressed hope that he would see him in the afterlife.
Spouse's words
Robin Williams' wife, Susan Schneider, released the following statement Thursday:
"Robin spent so much of his life helping others. Whether he was entertaining millions on stage, film or television, or troops on the front lines, or comforting a sick child - Robin wanted us to laugh and to feel less afraid.
"Since his passing, all of us who loved Robin have found some solace in the tremendous outpouring of affection and admiration for him from the millions of people whose lives he touched. His greatest legacy, besides his three children, is the joy and happiness he offered to others, particularly to those fighting personal battles.
"Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly.
"It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid."

Looking back over the past year, Family Voices Colorado has a lot to be proud of:
We served more than 11,500 families and 4,500 professionals from June 2012 to May 2013, through a combination of direct assistance, trainings, print and electronic resources, and our Family-to-Family Health Information Network.
As a result of assistance/training provided by Family Voices Colorado, 91% of families report being better able to partner with health care providers in decision-making, 97% report that they are better able to find and/or learn about community services, and 94% report more confidence in getting necessary health care and services for their child with special needs.
Our team works hard to support families through the challenging tasks of securing services and resources for their children, and we celebrate when evaluations demonstrate that we are achieving our goals. You can read more about the context for our work in this Colorado Data Brief prepared by Family Voices National.
In the last year, we have also launched two new program areas: Life Coaching through Your Life. Better. 24/7., and Health Coverage guidance through the Connect for Health Colorado Assistance Network. Through these programs, we are supporting young adults with behavioral health challenges in developing skills and making choices that will enable them to thrive, and helping individuals and families understand their options under the new health insurance marketplace.
While our mission continues to focus on children and youth with special health care needs, we have identified a need for greater support to families and young people through the first part of adulthood. The transition from pediatric to adult health care systems can be challenging for any family, and those who live with disabilities or complex medical needs often encounter even greater obstacles to securing the services and support they need. Our Guide for Transition (also known as the "Transition Wheel") was released to guide families through the tasks for each stage of adolescence approaching adulthood, and is now available in several other states through the national Family Voices network.
Finally, we expanded the hospital-based Family Navigator program from one staff person at Children's Hospital Colorado to three staff, two of whom are at Children's and one at Denver Health. We envision continued growth in this area as we demonstrate the tremendous benefits to children and families when they can receive referrals to community-based resources and services before leaving the hospital.
As we look forward to the months ahead, 2014 looks just as promising as 2013. For the past several months, we have been developing plans for a new project that will provide Personal (electronic) Health Records (PHRs) to support greater care coordination for low-income clients. These PHRs will be owned by the individual rather than by their health care provider. The planning stage has been funded by a grant from The Colorado Health Foundation, and we will soon apply for funds to support the full implementation of this vision.
Other areas of focus in the coming year include:
- Expanding our capacity to assist families, who are calling in ever increasing numbers
- Continuing to make sure that families' voices are heard in policy conversations
- Helping families navigate Medicaid expansion and the Affordable Care Act
As we gear up for another exciting year, we hope you will join us for Hearts on Fire, which in 2014 will be a special Valentine's Day happy hour fiesta. Be sure to register now to get the best price on tickets! Whatever your romantic status that day, we hope you'll come and "wear your heart on your sleeve" for children and youth with special health care needs.
As always, we are grateful for your continued support and partnership with Family Voices Colorado in so many ways. If you need help navigating systems, accessing services, getting health coverage, or building capacity for system change, please give us a call!

Q. I donít know what to write to my friend. Could you offer any suggestions?
A. We are happy that you will be writing to your friend. Children, youth and aging friends eagerly anticipate receiving letters and photos from their sponsors. For both you and your friend, writing letters and sharing photos is the best way to build a strong relationship. But we know that itís sometimes difficult to get that first letter started.
Here are some topic suggestions:
Your story ñ age, children, family
Holiday traditions special to your family
Your favorite color, food, memory, sports/games
Interests, profession or hobbies
Weather where you live
The landscape in your geographic area
Cultural activities ñ art, music, dance, theater
Why you chose your sponsored friend
Ask questions about your friendís life and dreams
Offer words of encouragement and support
If you donít have time to write a letter, postcards and pre-printed greeting cards are an easy and quick way to stay in touch with your friend.
Remember: Itís a good rule of thumb to avoid talking about material possessions, money and other topics that could serve to highlight the differences between your circumstances. Please keep these same considerations in mind when sending photographs.
For the privacy and protection of sponsors and sponsored friends, please do not share or ask your friend for personal contact information, including e-mail or home addresses and phone numbers.
Please visit the CFCA writing page for more writing tips, including up-to-date information about mailing costs and how to request more pre-printed labels.

B. F. Skinner
American behaviorist
(Redirected from B.F. Skinner)
Burrhus Frederic Skinner (20 March 1904 – 18 August 1990) was an American behaviorist, author, inventor, baseball enthusiast, social philosopher and poet.
- Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.
- Walden Two (1948), p. 95.
- The strengthening of behavior which results from reinforcement is appropriately called "conditioning". In operant conditioning we "strengthen" an operant in the sense of making a response more probable or, in actual fact, more frequent.
- Science and Human Behavior (1953).
- Let men be happy, informed, skillful, well behaved, and productive.
- Freedom and the control of men (1955/1956) American Scholar, 25 (1), 47-65.
- Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
- "New methods and new aims in teaching", in New Scientist, 22(392) (21 May 1964), pp.483-4.
- We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement.
- As quoted in B. F. Skinner : The Man and His Ideas (1968) by Richard Isadore Evans, p. 73.
- The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.
- Contingencies of Reinforcement: A Theoretical Analysis (1969).
- Ethical control may survive in small groups, but the control of the population as a whole must be delegated to specialists—to police, priests, owners, teachers, therapists, and so on, with their specialized reinforcers and their codified contingencies.
- Beyond Freedom and Dignity, New York: Knopf, 1971 p. 155
- We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word "admire" then means "marvel at."
- Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972).
- A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.
- Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972).
- It is a mistake to suppose that the whole issue is how to free man. The issue is to improve the way in which he is controlled.
- "I have been misunderstood" An interview with B.F.Skinner 1972 March/April Center Magazine, pp. 63−65
- Many instructional arrangements seem "contrived", but there is nothing wrong with that. It is the teacher's function to contrive conditions under which students learn. Their relevance to a future usefulness need not be obvious.
It is a difficult assignment. The conditions the teacher arranges must be powerful enough to compete with those under which the student tends to behave in distracting ways.
- "Free and Happy Student" in The Phi Delta Kappan (September 1973); later published in Reflections on Behaviorism and Society (1978).
- I do not admire myself as a person. My successes do not override my shortcomings.
- Journal of Humanistic Psychology Spring 1991 vol. 31 no. 2 112-113
- The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.
- As quoted in Meditations for Parents Who Do Too Much (1993) by Jonathon Lazear and Wendy Lazear, p. 5.
- It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life.
- As quoted in Performance-based Assessment for Middle and High School Physical Education (2002) by Jacalyn Lea Lund and Mary Fortman Kirk, p. 165.
- I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
- As quoted in "Unpacking the Skinner Box : Revisiting B. F. Skinner through a Postformal Lens" by Dana Salter in The Praeger Handbook of Education and Psychology Vol. 4 (2008) edited by Joe L. Kincheloe and Raymond A. Horn, Ch. 99, p. 872.
Quotes about SkinnerEdit
- Alphabetized by author
- Today behaviourists like Skinner imprison the very concept of man within the limits of what they conclude from their artificial tests with animals.
- John Berger, About Looking (1980), chapter "Why Look at Animals?", Bloomsbury Publishing, 2015, p. 11.
- Suppose that an engineer is presented with a device whose functioning he does not understand, and suppose that through experiment he can obtain information about input-output relations of this device. He would not hesitate, if rational, to construct a theory of the internal states of the device and to test it against further evidence. ... By objecting, a priori, to this research strategy, Skinner merely condemns his strange variety of "behavioral science" to continued ineptitude.
- Noam Chomsky, "The Case Against B. F. Skinner", The New York Review of Books, December 30, 1971.
- For practical or theoretical reasons, dictators, Organization Men and certain scientists are anxious to reduce the maddening diversity of men's natures to some kind of manageable uniformity. In the first flush of his Behaviouristic fervour, J.B. Watson roundly declared that he could find "no support for hereditary patterns of behaviour, nor for special abilities (music, art, etc.) which are supposed to run in families." And even today we find a distinguished psychologist, Professor B.F. Skinner of Harvard, insisting that, "as scientific explanation becomes more and more comprehensive, the contribution which may be claimed by the individual himself appears to approach zero. Man's vaunted creative powers, his achievements in art, science and morals, his capacity to choose and our right to hold him responsible for the consequences of his choice - none of these is conspicuous in the new scientific self-portrait.
- Aldous Huxley, "Brave New World Revisited" (1958)
- B. F. Skinner actually put forward – and this is a measure of scientific desperation over consciousness – the idea that consciousness was a weird vibrational by-product of the vocal cords. That we did not actually think. We thought we thought because of this weird vibration caused by the vocal cords. This shows the lengths that hard science will go to to banish the ghost from the machine.
- Alan Moore, in "Alan Moore Interview" by Matthew De Abaitua (1998), later published in Alan Moore: Conversations (2011) edited by Eric L. Berlatsky.
- There are occasions when a worthless, insignificant book acquires significance as a scrap of litmus paper exposing a culture's intellectual state. Such a book is Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner…. The book itself is like Boris Karloff's embodiment of Frankenstein's monster: a corpse patched with nuts, bolts and screws from the junkyard of philosophy (Pragmatism, Social Darwinism, Positivism, Linguistic Analysis, with some nails by Hume, threads by Russell, and glue by the New York Post). The book's voice, like Karloff's, is an emission of inarticulate, moaning growls — directed at a special enemy: "Autonomous Man."
- Ayn Rand, The Ayn Rand Letter, Vol. 1, No. 8 (17 January 1972).

The Ryder Gambit Accepted - UPDATED EDITIONProduct Code: B0085IS
Book Description
The Ryder Gambit is a fun opening, one which gives rise to spectacular combinational possibilities. Even a player with limited experience can create a magnificent mating attack which can be shown to friends and kibbitzers and even published in local chess magazines. The fans of this opening are true lovers of this royal game and even if their enthusiasm is unjustified by objective analysis, it is nevertheless one of the joys of chess.
About the Author(s)

Schiller was the Hawaii action and blitz champion for 1988/89. He was an organizer of the Hawaii International chess festivals 1994-98 including 1998 US Open California Champion 1995. Later that year, he appeared as a chess advisor for the music group Phish on some of the stops for their "Chess Tour" where they played an ongoing game of two chess moves per tour stop and some "band vs. audience" partial games as part of their stage performance.
