Chris Brown Fans Threaten Writer Jenny Johnson's Life Following Twitter Feud
There's a certain risk that comes with essentially being a professional Internet troll: People are going to get mad at you. And when people with devoted, rabid fan bases get mad at you, it's a much higher risk.
It looks like Jenny Johnson learned that lesson the hard way this week when Chris Brown's beloved, if often misguided, Team Breezy went in on her, with many of them taking it way too far.
Billboard reports that Team Breezy actually threatened Johnson's life following her Twitter war with Brown. Before we get into the fans' reactions, some backstory: Johnson started with Brown, posting an unprovoked reply to an innocuous tweet he posted about how old he looked in a photo. Her message? "I know! Being a worthless piece of s— can really age a person." (It can be argued that if you're only known for starting drama on the Internet, Johnson herself may want to buy some stock in Olay.)
Of course, had Brown's anger management classes paid off, he would have rolled his eyes and ignored the taunt. But it looks like they didn't, because the notorious hothead proceeded to engage in a misogynist, scatological exchange with Johnson -- who, a bit late to the party, took it upon herself to send him a link to an article about his 2009 assault on Rihanna -- before deleting his Twitter account entirely.
The immaturity and self-victimization didn't lie just with Johnson and Brown, as his fans were quick to pile on the questionably humorous humor writer. Some particularly shiny nuggets: "Do u wanna know what im gonna do now ? Im gonna kill that Jenny Johnson for making Chris delete his twitter," "Stfu b---- honestly, i wanna sit on your face and stab 1235 needles in your eyeball, you son of a motherless goat. #bushpig" and "super mad right now if i see that jenny johnson i'll stab her to death."
Johnson tweeted about the death threats she received (almost all of which are too graphic, detailed and profane to even repeat here), writing, "It's alarming how many death threats I'm receiving via @ replies. I encourage everyone, including @Twitter to look through them. Not cool."
Harassing anyone online isn't cool, and threatening anyone online is even less cool -- and often illegal, depending on the text, the state and how litigious the victim is. While Brown was wrong to retaliate against Johnson's trolling (which dated back a good few years) -- and while he was also absolutely wrong to assault Rihanna in the first place, making him one of the easiest targets for online criticism -- it's worth noting that Johnson started this feud, and it isn't her first. Kim Kardashian previously blocked Johnson following her own barrage of unprovoked harassment, which included Instagram shots of stills from her sex tape.
Perhaps Breezy will use that block button against Johnson again if and when he returns to Twitter to prevent any messes like this from happening again. And perhaps Team Breezy members will learn that what you put on the Internet is there forever -- and rethink death threats in case they're applying for a job someday.

Opera was born to be mad.
The first great opera concerned the demented Roman emperor Nero. In the nearly three centuries since Monteverdi's "The Coronation of Poppea," mad scene has succeeded mad scene on the lyric stage. They still do, as Long Beach Opera demonstrated Saturday night at Bixby Knolls Expo Art Center with a seemingly crazy double bill of two recent American operas — Michael Gordon's "Van Gogh" and Stewart Copeland's "Tell-Tale Heart."
Each opera is, in essence, an excitable — and exciting — extended mad scene. Based on Vincent Van Gogh's letters, the first follows the suicidal Dutch painter from early expressions of his innate love for the church to his incarceration in a mental ward. The second, a setting of the macabre Edgar Allan Poe tale, enters into the mind of a killer who justifies his sanity by describing his rational approach to premeditated murder, all the while unnervingly falling apart in the telling.
What made this double bill seem like a crazy project was not subject matter. Nor was it the choice of "Van Gogh," which is by one of the composers who founded the Bang on a Can collective. Gordon's opera was released on CD six years ago. One could know to expect a strong work.
But one might not have similar expectations for "Tell-Tale Heart," written by the former drummer of the rock band the Police who went on to become known for television and film scores ("Wall Street" and "Desperate Housewives" among them). Copeland has also become a composer of operas, although that started badly with "Holy Blood and Crescent Moon," an absurd and hokey epic about the Crusades commissioned by the Cleveland Opera and given its premiere in 1989. It proved a big-budget fiasco by a composer who clearly did not yet know what he was doing.
I am, however, happy to report that an old rocker can learn new tricks. He also perhaps learned to accept help from the right friends, although in a preconcert conversation with Andreas Mitisek — LBO's artistic and general director and the evening's designer and stage director — Copeland indicated that this kind of colorfully updated production is not what he envisioned.
First, the more substantial "Van Gogh," which is written for three singers and a small ensemble of string quartet, piano, electric guitar, clarinet and lots of percussion. The instrumentalists here as well as for "Tell-Tale Heart" are members of the What's Next Ensemble, a group of young L.A. musicians who played with panache and were vividly conducted by Benjamin Makino.
"Van Gogh" begins bluntly — rhythmically pounding, harmonically grating and vocally aggressive. But Gordon has a Van Gogh-like capacity for permeating the ordinary with such intense color that everything we take for granted becomes transformed. The opera goes where you don't expect it, especially in the intimate central section where the lonely Van Gogh expresses his need for a woman.
Mitisek's concept was to view both operas as interior dramas by self-destructive men. For Van Gogh, he assembled three compelling singers in soprano Ashley Knight, tenor John Matthew Myers and bass Jason Switzer, but then added an actor, Mark Bringleson, as Van Gogh, writhing in bed.
Mitisek's set consists of two two-story structures and a steel staircase. One served as a room for a sex scene. Screens could be lowered in front of each quadrant and were used for projecting the artist's brush strokes. But video designer Adam Flemming's best stroke was at the end, when Van Gogh became lost among his own yellow flowers.
For Copeland's half-hour "Tell-Tale Heart" (half the length of "Van Gogh"), Mitisek littered the stage with litter, homeless people, hookers and (get it?) the police (including a fat one munching on doughnuts). The production turns Copeland's literal retelling of the short story into a flashy, grisly, sexy saga of a serial-killing Poe in a wheelchair. There was plenty to keep your mind off the music, which no doubt is what most took Copeland aback.
But there was also just enough lively trashy stage business to help Copeland's score come to life. The piece is percussion heavy. The subtle imaginary beating of a victim's heartbeat, which causes the killer to crack, becomes more like the sound of a construction site, but that can make you crazy too. The strings whine effectively.
Copeland reduces Poe's text into refrains and adds commonplace rhymes, some of which are declaimed or sung in an effectively punchy pop style. That works far better than the pseudo-arioso attempts in "Holy Blood."
Baritone Robin Buck was a pathologically creepy Poe. Knight and mezzo-soprano Danielle Bond were two young, drugged-up women in hot pants eager to turn everyone on. The police were Myers and Switzer. Bringelson, as the killer's victim, spent most of his time catatonically pointing a TV remote, until his number was up. The ending goes beyond Poe, but I won't give that away.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has made an arrest in a 28-year-old cold case: the slaying of a 10-year-old girl at a Westside Jacksonville apartment complex in August 1984.
Sheriff John Rutherford announced Tuesday that modern DNA analysis led to the arrest of James Leon Jackson -- who was a next-door neighbor of victim Tammy Welch at the time -- on a charge of murder.
"After 28 years of Tammy Welch's murderer walking free, it was finally over," Rutherford said.
In court Wednesday morning, Jackson was ordered held without bond on charges of sexual battery and murder.
ARCHIVE VIDEO: Girl killed August 27, 1984
An autopsy at the time found the girl was sexually assaulted and strangled, and despite extensive investigation at the time, the case remained unsolved.
Cold case units of the JSO and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service reopened the case in August 1999, re-interviewed everyone involved and took voluntary DNA samples.
While that investigation did not produced a suspect at the time, analysis of the DNA conducted late last year came up with a partial DNA profile matched that of Jackson.
Jackson was arrested in Jacksonville on Monday night by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement investigators on a drug charge, and he was charged Tuesday with murder.
Thirty minutes after Jackson, 60, was arrested, NCIS informed the family, who now lives in Virginia. The father, who is now retired from the Navy, said they had always held out hope their daughter's killer would be caught.
"This doesn't bring the family closure, it just brings answers," JSO Chief Tom Hackney said.
State Attorney Angela Corey, who said she was a prosecutor at the time, says a federal grant enables investigators the resources to retest decades old DNA.
"I can't tell you the joy professionally it brings me to make this announcement -- that hard work and determination and the grant yielded such successful results," Corey said.

Believe in yourself: When there is something you really wish and you create it with your mind, you can make it happen. That is what I really believe, in all aspects of my life, and also in relation to work.
I joined Accenture, a global professional services company, six years ago as my first work experience. I admit I was a little worried about what some people said about it: working really hard, always travelling, no time for living outside work or for building a family…but I decided to take the challenge. And I can say based on my experience that balancing work and the life I have chosen is possible, and that combining everything enriches me.
I can tell you something about my life!
I have been practicing martial arts, specifically Kung Fu, for almost 10 years. It is my fun and my enthusiasm. And I am part of an academy where I continuously study personal development and communication. I am learning how to really understand myself and my emotions and to direct my mood and frame of mind toward what is better for me. I am growing in communicating effectively with myself and with other people and in making it more straightforward to achieve my objectives. I love all of that, and it makes me what I am. It takes a lot of time since I usually go to Kung Fu five times a week and to the Academy at least four times.
My approach is to place importance on my work and my tasks, and on me as a unique person. Because each of us as an individual is unique, and placing value on that can have a great impact. Many people can technically perform a task, but in a positive environment where everyone can feel at ease and valued, shouldn't productivity increase?
When I feel good, I also work well. I have let my colleagues and my superiors know me, and I have expressed with my words and my behaviors that my life outside work is also important to me. They understand that some days I cannot stay late in the office because of that. Of course, this perspective has to be nourished with very good performance at work, because that is what can build trust with colleagues and superiors, including availability to stay and help whenever I can.
And that is what I want to spread around me: Whichever is your desire—an enthusiasm, a wish related to family, a favorite hobby—believe in yourself. If you want something, you can communicate and act in order to make everything work together. Smile, laugh! Collaborate, love your day and enjoy what you do at work. Be yourself and make the difference as an individual, as well as in work-related activities.
And put yourself on the line. Sometimes you may get a different outcome from what you expected, but you can always take a step to the side and take a parallel path; anyway, those outcomes will be part of your experience and may be useful in other circumstances.
And if you do not see someone on whom you can model your behavior, what about being your own role model and creating a new possibility? Like any change, it requires dedication in order to demonstrate your approach as a solid view and get other people to agree with it, but we are talking about your life, and you can open a new way also for those who will come after you.
I say—it's really worth it!

U.S. Paralympic Alpine Skiing Team regains spot as top nation
Laurie Stephens, a member of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, helped the 2010-11 U.S. Paralympic Alpine Skiing Team to a Nations Cup win. Team USA finished 506 points ahead of Russia.
Highlighted by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, called the greatest Games ever by International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven, 2012 was a thrilling year for the Paralympic Movement in the United States and around the globe. Records were broken and legacies were made. From Dec. 20-31, USParalympics.org will unveil the Top 12 moments of 2012 for U.S. Paralympics in chronological order.
Just one year after the U.S. Paralympic Alpine Skiing Team won 11 medals at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, the third-most alpine medals at the Games, Team USA dropped to sixth in the 2011 Nations Cup standings. The alpine skiing slump did not last long as American skiers regained top billing in the 2011-12 season.
At the International Paralympic Committee Alpine World Cup Finals in March in Panorama, British Columbia, Alana Nichols took three golds and one silver at the competition, which helped Team USA wrap up its first Nations Cup title since 2010. The United States earned 4,657 points while Russia came in second with 4,151 and France in third with 4,087.
"We were focusing on podiums this year, and trying to get as many first, second or third-place finishes as we could," said Kevin Jardine, High Performance Director and head coach, U.S. Paralympic Alpine Skiing.
Overall, the United States won eight globes in the World Cup season: Nichols (women's sitting), first in speed, third in giant slalom and third in slalom; Laurie Stephens (women's sitting), first in giant slalom and second in speed; Tyler Walker (men's sitting) second in speed; and Danelle Umstead (women's visually impaired), third in both speed and slalom.
"Everybody played a part," Walker said. "It was kind of like icing on the cake for the whole season."
Team USA made the World Cup podium 39 times last season. Nichols led the Americans with 10 World Cup medals while Stephens and Umstead won nine medals each. Walker finished the season with four World Cup medals.

Grace of Giving: Retired guide dogs need homes
Guide Dogs of Texas trains dogs to aid people who are visually impaired. The organization is the only guide dog training program in Texas, and it places dogs not just in San Antonio but around the state.
Yet Guide Dogs of Texas could use some help.
The nonprofit is looking for people who would like to adopt a guide dog. The dogs might have been retired from service as a guide because of age, temperament or health issues.
Guide Dogs of Texas calls it a "re-home" for their retiring dogs.
"These dogs are unique and special dogs that deserve a wonderful retirement or forever home," said Gretchen Garceau-Kragh, director of development for Guide Dogs of Texas.
For those who are interested, there are some caveats. First, to adopt a guide dog isn't an inexpensive proposition. The adoption fee is $600. The fee helps to defray the expenses that Guide Dogs of Texas has incurred in the health care, training and maintenance of the dog.
In some cases, Guide Dogs of Texas might waive the re-home fee if the dog is older or has medical issues.
Those interested in adoption must fill out an application and undergo an interview and training process.
Guide Dogs of Texas notes that not all applicants are guaranteed a dog. But when a dog is available, all of those who are on the nonprofit's list are considered.
Guide Dogs of Texas wants adopting families to pledge that they'll take the dog to a vet once a year, walk and play with the dog every day, and keep the animal indoors with the exception of time outdoors for walks and play.
Recently, Alan and Jean Axtell made the cut. They adopted Yukon, a 9-year-old black Labrador retriever.
Yukon "is wonderful," Jean Axtell said. When she heard about him, "my heart went out to him." He gave 7½ years of his life to take care of a visually impaired woman "and lived a disciplined life." He received more than 1frac12; years of training.
Now he travels with her around Texas and "is great with our 13 grandkids," Axtell said. "He is just the kind of dog we need."
Garceau-Kragh said the Axtells "are everything we look for in a re-home family." They have time to tend to the dog, will give him proper care from a veterinarian and have an adequate yard for him to run and play in.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Stop now if you're a Philadelphia 76ers fan tired of reading encouraging reports about Andrew Bynum and his potential return to action.
But if you're still a believer in the power of the big man and what he could do for the Sixers, this might be the stocking stuffer that'll make your Christmas. Bynum, strictly an observer so far this season due to knee issues, seems to be feeling much better these days and is potentially on his way back sooner rather than later, per Bob Cooney of the Daily News.
Apparently seeing his old teammates from Los Angeles boosted Bynum's spirits a bit over the weekend:
Former teammates made their way into the Sixers locker room before the game after the media was cleared, probably stopping by to see their former running mate.
"Winning championships there was fun," said Bynum. "But obviously my time there is done. Health is the main concern with me now. I don't regret anything. Personally, they traded No. 1 (him) for No. 2 (Dwight Howard) and that is what happened. I think Dwight is a great player and has to get accustomed to playing and not touching the ball on every play."
While Bynum has done nothing more than observe during his time here, he appears to be itching more than ever to get back on the floor. His doctor's visit on Thursday will go a long way on letting everyone know how soon that is to happening.
"I think I could do wonders for this team because right now we don't have a lot of post threat and that would help free up a lot of our guys from the outside – knock down shooters and Jrue and Evan are playing a lot with the ball right now so it would be good to join them and Thaddeus, also.
"The update is that I'm feeling much better. From the beginning of this year, the state of the injury when I see the doctor hopefully I'll be cleared for impact. Only the left knee (is hurting) the right knee is fine."
Fine, so the news isn't all good if Bynum's left knee is still hurting. Still, the Sixers could know as soon as Thursday when they'll have Bynum back in action. He'll need time to get in game shape and get up to speed as quickly as possible to help out a Sixers team that has lost three straight and is fighting to stay at .500 or better right now.
If the Sixers want to stay in the playoff mix they'll need a boost. And an inspired and reasonably healthy Bynum could be exactly what they need to get them back on track.

Staying Afloat Financially in the 21st Century
You have just won the local lottery. You will receive a check for $200 every month for the next five years. What things do you want to have? What is most important to you? How will you use your money? You will create a personal monthly budget in the lesson. You will also analyze various financial scenarios and decide how you would react if each scenario involved you.
Task List
So many young people are finding themselves in debt, sometimes before graduating from high school and certainly before graduating from college. You will make a monthly budget for yourself which will allow you to use $200.00 however you see fit. Determine what you will need and want. Think about choices you will need to make regarding savings and spending money. You must stay within the budget. You must stay within the budget.
Budgeting is a helpful way to reduce the chances of falling into debt. While a budget won't guarantee a person won't go into debt, making and developing a budget will help reduce the chances this will happen. We know debt is a big issue facing young people, and learning how to budget, how to develop a budget, and how to stick to a budget are necessary skills for financial success.
- Write a list of things you need and want to have during the next month, using the What Do You Want? worksheet (Printable Version), and then prioritize the items on the list.
- Review your list and then prioritize it. Rewrite your list with the first item being the most important and the last item being the least important.
- Determine the cost for each item on your list. Use store websites to determine prices or make your best estimate. Ask adults if you aren't sure or can't find the information. Use the interactive budget page to keep your budget at or under $200.00.
- Total the cost of all the items on your list.
- Since your monthly budget is $200.00, you will need to eliminate items if your budget is over $200.00.
Making good financial decisions and savings at a young age is a very important ingredient toward financial success later in life. Controlling expenses and saving money help build a solid financial base. Avoiding debt by sticking to a budget is very important. You should practice these finance skills at a young age to get in the habit of saving, not overspending, and not spending on frivolous items.
These internet resources will help you in the process of nudgeting and savings:
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – Students learn about how and why to save.
- Banking is INTERESTing – This lesson deals with savings.
Assessment Activity
You will develop a balanced, monthly budget using the list you created. You will need to make decisions about what to include in the budget. Remember the importance of savings and spending on necessities.
After making your budget, you will write a brief essay about the difficulties you faced in making choices to have you budget balance. If you didn't have difficulties, your essay should focus on why it was easy for you to make a balanced budget.
In your groups, discuss each situation and decide what should be done, and what the opportunity costs are.
Situation One
Bill is interested in being a basketball referee. In order to get certified and known of as an official, he needs to attend a camp for basketball officials. At this camp, Bill will learn instruction about refereeing, referee at least four games, be seen by people who assign officials to games from the grade school level through high school varsity level, and meet other officials. If Bill gets hired to games, he will make a minimum of $20.00 a game, possibly more. Bill does not have the $350.00 in his monthly budget to cover the cost of the camp? Should Bill attend the camp?
Situation Two
Sally is looking to buy a five-year-old, used Mustang convertible. It will cost her $9,500.00 to buy the car plus insurance. She believes this car will make her very popular at school, make it easier for to get dates, and will bring a lot of attention her way. Her parents are willing to provide her with a ten-year-old station wagon and will pay for all costs of the this car except the gas Sally uses. Sally has $5,000.00 in her savings account and monthly income of $450.00. Which car should Sally get?
Situation Three
Claudio wants to become a teacher. He wants to go to the best school in the state which has a great School of Education. This School of Education has a very positive national reputation and places 85% of its graduates in good paying teacher positions. However, since the school is located on the other side of the state, Claudio would not be able to go to school and live at home. He would have to pay tuition and the cost of living in a dorm, food, and other expenses. The university in his hometown has a School of Education which has an average reputation and places 75% of its graduates in jobs. However, the average starting pay for teachers from the local university averages $3,500.00 a year less than the starting pay from teachers who attended the university with nationally known School of Education. Claudio would have to borrow money to attend the better school and will have about $15,000.00 in debt after finish college. Should he do this?
Extension Activity
You will make a budget based on your actual monthly income. This income may come from jobs you do, gifts you receive, and allowances given by your family. Your budget must be balanced.
After completing your monthly budget, write a brief essay about the struggles you may have faced in developing a balanced budget. If it was easy to do, you will write your essay about why it was easy to do.
In groups of three, create a short play focusing on the need to budget, to develop a balanced budget, and to stick to it.

Engagement ends at Waynesboro
On this day in 1864, eight days of cavalry clashes in Georgia come to an end when Union General Judson Kilpatrick and Confederate General Joseph Wheeler skirmish for a final time at Waynesboro. Although the Rebels inflicted more than three times as many casualties as the Yankees, the campaign was considered a success by the Union because it screened Wheeler from the main Union force as it marched to Savannah, Georgia, on General William T. Sherman's famous March to the Sea.
Sherman marched his army across Georgia in November and December of 1864, destroying nearly everything intheir path. Sherman sent Kilpatrick to Waynesboro in the hope that the Union cavalry could threaten nearby Augusta, Georgia, and divert Confederate attention from Sherman's true goal, Savannah. Beginning on November 27, Wheeler pursued Kilpatrick between Waynesboro and Millen, the site of a Confederate prison that Kilpatrick hoped to liberate. During the campaign, Wheeler pecked at Kilpatrick's force and nearly captured the Union commander in an early morning raid.
The last of the fighting came in Waynesboro. With Sherman's army safely past, Kilpatrick evacuated the area. Wheeler killed or wounded some 830 Yankee troopers and lost only 240 of his own. Kilpatrick found the prison near Millen evacuated, but the campaign had achieved the true Union objective: Sherman marched unmolested to the sea.

I like to say that the Washington Post's editorial page is one of the last bastions of respectable liberalism in America. It's also the reason why I eventually accepted defeat in our long running family battle over whether to subscribe to the Post.
Today, the Post's editors come down hard against the idea of nominating Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense. The Post focuses on two vital issues: defense spending and Iran. It concludes that Hagel's positions on both "fall well to the left of those pursued by Mr. Obama during his first term — and place him near the fringe of the Senate that would be asked to confirm him."
As to defense spending, the Post observes:
The current secretary, Leon Panetta, has said the defense "sequester" cuts that Congress mandated to take effect Jan. 1 would have dire consequences for U.S. security. Mr. Hagel took a very different position when asked about Mr. Panetta's comment during a September 2011 interview with the Financial Times. "The Defense Department, I think in many ways, has been bloated," he responded. "So I think the Pentagon needs to be pared down."
While both Republicans and Democrats accept that further cuts in defense may be inevitable, few have suggested that a reduction on the scale of the sequester is responsible. In congressional testimony delivered around the same time as Mr. Hagel's interview, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the sequester would lead to "a severe and irreversible impact on the Navy's future," "a Marine Corps that's below the end strength to support even one major contingency" and "an unacceptable level of strategic and operational risk" for the Army.
As to Iran, the Post observes:
[Hagel] repeatedly voted against sanctions, opposing even those aimed at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which at the time was orchestrating devastating bomb attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq. Mr. Hagel argued that direct negotiations, rather than sanctions, were the best means to alter Iran's behavior. The Obama administration offered diplomacy but has turned to tough sanctions as the only way to compel Iran to negotiate seriously.
Mr. Obama has said that his policy is to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and that containment is not an option. Mr. Hagel has taken a different view, writing in a 2008 book that "the genie of nuclear weapons is already out of the bottle, no matter what Iran does."
The Post acknowledges that Hagel seemed to shift his position on Iran in an op-ed he signed a few months ago. I am working on a post about that op-ed. But the Post is more than fair to Hagel when it concludes:
[President Obama] will need a defense secretary ready to support and effectively implement a decision. . .to contemplate military action if Iran refuses to negotiate or halt its uranium-enrichment program. Perhaps Mr. Hagel would do so; perhaps he would also, if installed at the Pentagon, take a different view of defense spending. (Mr. Hagel declined through a spokesman to speak to us about his views.)
What's certain is that Mr. Obama has available other possible nominees who are considerably closer to the mainstream and to the president's first-term policies. . . .

I was reading up on Portugal on the Lonely Planet website and I came across an itinerary for a bike tour through Portugal's famed Algarve region. Located on the southwestern coast of Portugal, this area is a mecca for tourists, but much can be said for the quaint way of life continuing in some of the towns outside the tourist areas. I looked up some images to coincide with the bike tour itinerary. Read on and drool....
Day 1 - arrive in Algarve and transfer to the rustic town of Monchique, known for its historic buildings like the ruins of a 17th century monastery, Nossa Senhora do Desterro. The town is quaint, with narrow cobblestoned streets and shops selling ceramics and their famous local apertif "medronho".
|Cafe scene in Monchique
|The convent of Nossa Senhora do Desterro
|A cocktail made with the famous "medronho"
|La capilla de São José in Picota
|Wow...what a view....
|Some of the scenery in Caldas de Monchique
Day 3 - Cycle west to the small coastal town of Odeceixe, a sleepy little coastal town, nestled amongst hills (one of which topped with an iconic windmill), that is known for its laidback charm and popular surf breaks. here the itinerary provides two possible routes - cycling along the Riviera de Seixe valley, or across the serra to the Alentejo border.
Day 4 - choice of riding through the countryside to Rogil to visit the Esteveira nature preserve, or to ride to the beautiful beach village of Zambujeira and the cliffs of Cabo Sardo.....tough decision, but I think I'm leaning toward Zambujeira:)
|A church in Zambujeira
|Zambujeira cafe
|Zambujeira nature
|Zambujeira beach
|The cliffs of Cabo Sardo
|Carrapateira Beach - what a nice walkway!
|Pontal headland
|O Tiago restaurant in Vila do Bispo
|Vila do Bispo
|The interior of the church in Vila do Bispo
|local seafood feast!
|Lighthouse of St. Cape Vincent in Sagres
Day 6 - Head east from Sagres toward Montes des Amantes, which the itinerary states is famous for its "standing stones," but I could not find any pictures of them online! Then head on to the beaches of Ingrina and Zavial (where I would want to take a break to enjoy their snorkelling!)before passing through the quiet countryside to the fishing village of Salema.
|beach at Ingrina
Oh man. I want to go on this trip!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to add in an extra day in each place to not be on my bike and instead walk around, eat and do some sunbathing!!! One day......

Rowland Savage looks and sounds like a fresh baked MBA. He appears to be more "talk" than "do" to me. He arrived at the pre-arranged meeting without knowing much about why he was there!
The lack of "do" may also be due in part to the firm. As Newtype mentioned previously, "send in the clowns" should be their tagline. What they say on their Web site could at best be marketing speak, but complete nonsense otherwise.PRIVATE: Members Only

The Bears started rebuilding the offense under Marc Trestman in free agency and continued the process in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday, albeit with a player no one expected.
Leaving Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert on the board, the Bears went for an interior lineman with a great pedigree, selecting Oregon guard Kyle Long with the 20th overall pick.
The son of Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long and the brother of Rams defensive end Chris Long, he becomes the first guard the club has selected in the first round since Roger Davis in 1960.
Bears general manager Phil Emery made it known he was interested in trading down, but after the pick he made it clear the team wasn't moving if Long was on the board.
"We had some conversations prior to the draft but nothing that would take us off that pick," Emery said. "Kyle had to be gone.
"He is the type of athlete and player that we have targeted. Fast, tough, dynamic athlete. Obviously, he has had an interesting road. He's going to start out a guard. We feel like he can be a starting right tackle. We feel he can be a good left tackle."
In an unusual first round of the NFL draft, only one offensive skill position player was selected in the first 15 picks. Left tackles went 1-2 for the first time in history, as Central Michigan's Eric Fisher to the Chiefs and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel to the Jaguars topped the draft.
Then, the Eagles selected Lane Johnson at No. 4 and guards Jonathan Cooper (Arizona) and Chance Warmack (Tennessee) didn't make it out of the top 10.
The Chargers took right tackle D.J. Fluker 11th, the third consecutive Crimson Tide player to come off the board. Then, the Giants selected Syracuse offensive tackle Justin Pugh 19th, a player they may move to the interior.
So, Long, 6- feet 6, 313 pounds, was the eighth offensive lineman selected, and now the Bears have another player in the mix to protect quarterback Jay Cutler.
The Bears signed left tackle Jermon Bushrod in free agency and added tight end Martellus Bennett, one reason why Eifert was not more appealing to them.
Long, a former draft pick of the White Sox, played in only 11 games at Oregon with four starts late last season.
He applied for an extra year, but the NCAA turned him down. He went to Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo, Calif., in 2010 as a defensive end.
He moved to left tackle in 2011 before transferring to Oregon. Originally, he went to Florida State to play baseball in 2008, but flunked out there. He also has a DUI in his background and reportedly attended a drug rehab program.
But Emery said he was an exemplary leader at Oregon and was forthright about issues that he has overcome. The Bears feel like he can be plugged in quickly for offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer, who had success developing young players for the Saints.
"We see a player who is going to contribute right away," Emery said. "His Senior Bowl was excellent. I thought he was the best O-lineman on the field."
The Bears hold the 50th overall pick in the second round, and Emery said he is open to trading down again to help recoup picks. The Bears are without a third-round pick.

Gobwin Knob (city)
Capital City
Side: Gobwin Knob
Level: 5
Gobwin Knob could refer to something else. See Gobwin Knob (disambiguation)
Proposed Canon
Gobwin Knob is the capital city of Gobwin Knob, the side by the same name. It is ruled by Overlord Stanley the Tool. The city is the location of the Battle for Gobwin Knob.
The Level 5 city of Gobwin Knob was infamous as the most strongly fortified position on Erfworld and the capital city of the eponymous side and home to King Saline IV and Stanley the Plaid of the Plaid Tribe. The city was built around the sky-scraping Tower of Efdup within the caldera of an extinct volcano, beneath which stretched a labyrinth of tunnels and mines that were thought mined out.
The Capital was originally constructed within the caldera of a dormant volcano (the "Gobwin Knob"). This position gave the city excellent natural defenses that, at level 5, made it a formidable defensive prospect. They also enjoyed a period of great wealth as the mountain had many precious gems within it.
Relative to most of the world, its location is unclear. However, Faq is located to the west of Gobwin Knob, while Transylvito in the South West, is as few as a half day or as many as three days by dwagon away, so it is anywhere from 28 to 165 hexesErf-b1-p46a away. (See Discussion for how this number was calculated.)
Warchalking is somewhere near to the east.
The city is roughly 200 hexes from the City of Unaroyal, somewhere to the east, with Jetstone beyond.
The city was the site of the Gobwin Insurrection and the Battle for Gobwin Knob.
Battle for Gobwin Knob
Main Article: Battle for Gobwin Knob
During the Battle, the Tower, Tunnels, and Garrison (except for the Dungeon) were collapsed, reducing the City to Level 1. This action was insufficient to stop the Royal Crown Coalition, leaving some 3000 troops active, so the Casters caused the volcano to reawaken and erupt, destroying all of the invading forces, but leaving a few uncroaked and golem troops that held Stanley's claim to the city after the Casters had evacuated. Perhaps more significantly, no living unit from any other side remained.
Dirtamancer Sizemore Rockwell discovered that more veins of gems lay deep in the volcano and controlled the eruption so as to force several rich veins to the surface, providing the city with one of the highest known incomes in the world. The city as a whole was nearly destroyed as a result of the battle, Sizemore's collapsing of the structures, and the subsequent explosion; however, it remained a viable Level 1 city, continuing to produce Units in the aftermath of the battle. Gobwin Knob was rebuilt to level 5 the day after the battle by order of Stanley the Tool.
During the Battle for Gobwin Knob, the city of Gobwin Knob was formed of four City Zones:
- Outer Walls -- These walls, along with the natural defense of the caldera, provided Gobwin Knob with its main protection. Unusually, they had no gate of any kind, which made them stronger and leaving no weak point in the walls.
- Tunnels -- This series of tunnels was in one sense a weak point - dug mostly for mining purposes and not with defense in mind, a strong force of tunnellers could present a serious problem. It was only through hit-and-run tactics, traps, misdirection, heavy application of force, and intentional collapses that they were successfully defended. At the end of the battle, they were collapsed wholesale.
- Airspace -- The zone that is the same for every city, except what you can defend it with. Gobwin Knob had plenty of dwagons, but they were all away during the final battle. The defenders had a small uncroaked air force and some significant magic air defenses.
- Garrison -- The fall-back point of the defense, it was dominated by the Tower of Efdup.
- Tower -- The Tower of Efdup was tall and round, similar to the Space Needle, providing an excellent view. The tower held the portal room, Stanley's office, quarters, and the "situation" room with the holographic table.
- Courtyard -- Stanley used the courtyard as a mustering ground.
- Dungeon -- Used to hold prisoners such as Jillian Zamussels. The domain of Wanda Firebaugh.
Gobwin Knob presented an excellent example of how attacking through zones works:
- Outer Walls -- Needed to be breached by Siege Units to be passable by ground Units.
- Tunnels -- Could only be entered by light or tunnel-capable Units.
- Airspace -- Could only be entered by flying Units.
- Garrison:
- Tower -- Could only be attacked from Airspace or another Garrison Zone.
- Dungeon -- Could only be attacked from Tunnels or another Garrison Zone.
- Courtyard -- Could only be attacked from Outer Walls or another Garrison Zone.
Note that for all cities, defenders treat the entire city as a single hex, and so do not expend Move and may redeploy at will. (This may be limited to Units assigned to the Garrison.)
After the Battle
After the demolition and rebuilding of the city, the layout, along with materials, design, and decoration, changed significantly, while keeping the same basic elements.
- Outer Walls -- Now shorter but thicker, the square walls extend around three sides of the city, then curve around the lava lake on the fourth. They feature toothed edges and densely-packed blockhoused, creating a fractal appearance.
- Gate -- the new main gate is prominent and ridiculously well-defended, with two towers nearly the size of the new Tower of Efdup.
- Lava Lake -- Technically inside the Outer Walls, only flying units may cross the lake, but they may not land. it takes up nearly a half of the city area, but is separated from the Garrison and the rest of the city by a cliff and a low wall.
- Airspace -- Unchanged
- Tunnels -- Smaller than before, and now disconnected from the outside. Cannot be used to invade the City without tunneling first.
- Garrison -- The new garrison is a square structure, some seven stories tall, featuring a tower on each corner. Technically in the center of the new city, the garrison is opposite the side wall, next to the ledge overlooking the lava lake. There is a large paved area and gate facing the city's main gate. The tower is on the opposite side.
- Tower -- Square and fluted, shaped like Big Ben with a pagoda on top that houses the Archons.
- Dungeon -- Was not destroyed in the battle; presumably the same.
- Courtyard -- Changes Unknown.
Presumably, all the zones interact in the same way, with the lava lake zone allowing flying units access to the Airspace zone, and possibly the Outer Walls zone.
The City itself lays between the Garrison and the Outer Walls. Lord Hamster named the streets of the rebuilt city: East-West streets are named after "The Simpsons" characters and North-South streets are named after earth foods that he misses. Known streets include:
- Smithers (intersects with Whopper Avenue)
- Burns Street (intersects with Whopper Avenue, there is a bank in this street)
- Homer (intersects with Donut in D'oh Plaza)
- Maggie Street
- Whopper Avenue (intersects with Smithers and Burns Street)
- Donut (intersects with Homer in D'oh Plaza)
- D'oh Plaza (Intersection of Homer and Donut)
Unit Production
The city of Gobwin Knob can pop the following Units:
- Men (presumably Plaid Tribe)
- Twolls - the city started popping one each Turn since being rebuiltErf-b1.5-p023
- Spidews (theoretically)
- Some types of Dwagons
Significant Residents
- Stanley the Tool -- Ruler, Overlord
- Parson Gotti, Lord Hamster -- Regent Warlord, strategist
- Maggie -- Thinkamancer
- Sizemore Rockwell -- Dirtamancer
- Jack Snipe -- Foolamancer
(currently in the field)
Gobwin Knob might begin popping new Units never seen before on the Side.
Due to having no gate, the only heavies formerly popped had to be able to exit the city via Tunnels or Airspace, so Spidews and Dwagons were the only ones used (aside from Twolls used for the garrison). With a Gate, other Heavies can now leave the city, so it would make more sense to pop them now, if there are any other Heavy units available. Gobwin Knob has lately been producing Twolls to build the proper menial population for Stanley's tastes.
(A Twoll heavy was killed outside of GK, but it's unclear whether he popped in GK and then exited via tunnels or if he was popped elsewhere).
Real World References
Gobwin Knob is a reference to the slang term 'knob goblin', which has various obscene definitions. (Which leads Parson to laugh when he first hears the name.)

Still think that Buffalo's one of the better teams in the AFC?
Still think they have a defense that's going to take them to the playoffs?
Still think Ryan Fitzpatrick's an underrated quarterback who can win?
Still think Mario Williams is a difference maker? A $100 million difference maker?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you're a more optimistic or delusional soul than I am – by far.
Sunday's game against New England was a test – a big test and the Bills failed miserably. Yeah, OK – there was no guarantee that they would win, but the display they put on was downright pitiful. It always hurts to lose to New England (especially when you live in New England), but this loss seems worse than most because it showed just how far the Bills are from where they need to be to take the next step.
For the second time since the season began, the Bills faced a divisional opponent who completely outclassed them in every facet of the game – offense, defense, special teams, coaching. Beating quality opponents, particularly divisional opponents is a must if you want to make the playoff for the first time this millennium – the last time the Bills were in the playoffs we were all breathing a sigh of relief that society hadn't come to a screeching halt as the clock struck the terrifying hour of Y2K a few days before.
Two big tests, two miserable failures. What's more, the failures both exposed weakness in areas of perceived strength, making them all the worse.
Much attention has been given to the improved Bills defense this season, particularly the defensive line. Marcel Dareus, the #3 overall pick from 2011, the return of Pro-Bowler Kyle Williams, the free agent addition of Patriots to sack man Mark Anderson and the centerpiece, the addition of "Super" Mario, the best young defensive player available in free agency in a long time. Put this front 4 out there and look out – they are going to be dominating.
Through a quarter of the season Buffalo's has 25 tackles and 8 sacks – impressed? If you filter out a home game against Kansas City and a trip to Cleveland to take on a rookie-lead Browns squad (Buffalo's only 2 wins, by the way), you'll see that the group has posted 2 sacks while allowing 606 passing yards and 6 passing touchdowns – not exactly statistics that show much pressure in the pocket.
After ranking almost dead last in sacks last year, Buffalo knew they had to get more pressure up front – that's why they built the line the way they did. Not only was this group going to create pressure, but they were going to do it on their own, without blitzing. With a front four like Buffalo's, opponents couldn't double team everybody, leaving plenty of one on one matchups to exploit – presto – pressure. Match these guys up against rookies, unproven players or backups and mayhem in the backfield was sure to ensue – this is how the Bills would finally beat Tom Brady – by putting a guy in his face all the time without having to blitz and leave a man open.
It sounded good in theory – fans and the national media alike hyped it. Heck – I'll admit I was pretty excited. When Mario signed after a multi-day siege in Buffalo, you'd have thought the hand of God had reached down and selected Buffalo as the Chosen Land, complete with sunshine, warmth, rainbows and "deers" for Mario to hunt.
To be fair, Sunday's debacle cannot be laid solely at the feet of the defensive line. The Bills lost the battle of the trenches on the offensive side as well, letting the New England defenders create pressure and stuff the running game. Fitzpatrick was, well, Fitzpatrick – at times his passes looked sharp and he made some plays with his feet, and at other times he threw a ball that made you shake your head – 4 interceptions and some wide open misses. Tackling was terrible – it was like watching drunken hillbillies try and tackle a greased pig at times – falling everywhere and sliding right off someone when it looked as if they would put him down.
The sad thing in all of this is that it was so predictable. Sure the Bills were up by 2 touchdowns in the third quarter, but if you felt comfortable with that lead you haven't watched much Bills football lately. Sure enough, after going up by 14 points the Bills rolled over and let the Patriots march down the field like a hot knife through butter. Then the offense went dead – 3 and out and you knew the game was going to come to a disgusting end – it was a classic Buffalo swoon where everyone blows it at the same time.
Alas, like the Claymation Bills commercial in 2006 it seems as if the sun has stopped shining and they gray of life as a Bills fan has returned.
Bills fans today are asking themselves what happened – why was this loss so bad? Why did the Bills give up 45 second half points, something nobody has done in 40 years? How did they go from being up by a pair of touchdowns to allowing 28 unanswered points in less than a quarter of football? Is it lack of talent? Lack of coaching? Lack of desire? If we know what it is we know how to fix it, right?
The Bills certainly have talent, but to what extent? CJ Spiller has looked very good, as has Fred Jackson, but neither did much on Sunday when needed (both actually turned the ball over). Anderson and Mario Williams have done almost nothing statistically this season, especially in the big games against the Jets and Patriots. Stevie Johnson is plenty talented, but his numbers this season are terrible – he's 54th in receiving yards with 197 through 4 games. Is it possible that as fans we see Bills players with rose colored glasses and they aren't as talented as we think they are?
Coaching certainly has to be questioned when looking at the Bills failures. You need look no further than Sunday's performance and the lack of defensive adjustments made to start wondering whether bad coaching was hurting the team. No blitzes? No changes to stop the run which was giving up yards a dozen at a time? On the offensive side of the ball, why not try and pound the run game a bit more, especially when the Bills have proven themselves as a top rushing team and should have been looking to keep the ball out of New England's hands as much as they could after going up by a few scores. Yeah, I know – everyone's a coach with better ideas on Monday – guilty as charged – but some of it really makes you scratch your head.
So, is it lack of desire? It's always hard to tell how motivated someone is – you can never really know what someone else feels. Regardless, the Bills do not appear to have players that get fired up by losing. Can you imagine what Ray Lewis would have said after a performance like that on Sunday? Or Takeo Spikes? We didn't see that – instead we saw Mario Williams explain that "it is what it is" (wow – I hate that cliché) and that the Bills are still 2-2 – not time to panic – lots of football left. Maybe he did feel terrible about Sunday's game. He may be a great player but I don't get the sense he's got a fiery personality – he seems somewhat shy and unassuming. It may be unfair, but when they give you $100 million, people want to see you take the losses as they do as fans, not just shrug it off and show optimism for the future – yell, use foul language, throw something – prove that you find it as unacceptable as the rest of us. We never seem to see that with the Bills and it does make one wonder whether some guys care about winning or losing as long as they're living the NFL dream. Mario and company collected huge paychecks, got into their sports cars and drove home to their huge houses – I drove into the office and had to face fat-headed gloating Pats fans who alternately teased and pitied me.
Sadly, the causes of Buffalo's ills aren't so neatly defined, and I don't believe any remedy is available to salvage the season. Yeah – I'm a pessimist, but with this team showing so little against any quality opponent I don't feel good at all about upcoming games in San Francisco, in Arizona, in Houston and in New England. By the time the Bills play opponents better suited to them any shot at the playoffs will be long gone – they could be 3-6 by the time they get Miami at home in mid-November. I'd say that probably adds up to yet another disappointing season without the playoffs and another offseason trying to close the gap with division opponents with a draft pick in the 10-15 range. I've seen this movie before – I'm getting tired of it. If you could distribute $100 million to the fans that might make things better – it might enable me to take a vacation the Monday after the next New England game.

Story highlights
- Sebastian Vettel wins German Grand Prix for first time
- Kimi Raikkonen finishes second ahead of Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean
- Red Bull's Vettel now 34 points clear in title race
Sebastian Vettel thrilled his home fans by winning the German Grand Prix for the very first time in his career.
The triple world champion finished ahead of Lotus pair Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean to claim his fourth win of the season and 30th overall at the Nurburgring.
Victory places the Red Bull driver 36 points clear of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who finished fourth, ahead of polesitter Lewis Hamilton and McLaren's Jenson Button.
"It's unbelievable," Vettel, who lost Kers during part of the race, told reporters.
"I am very, very happy. Kimi was pushing very close in the end but I was pushing in every lap, except from the ones with the safety car.
"I enjoyed today and I could feel Kimi coming and it was quite close with Romain too, but we recovered and I am very happy the race ended after 60 laps and not 61 or 62 laps."
The safety car was enforced following a moment of comedy after 24 laps when Jules Bianchi's parked Marussia began to roll backwards across the track.
With Bianchi having jumped out of his vehicle following an engine problem and small fire, the car ran backwards before hitting an advertising hoarding on the other side of the track.
Earlier, Vettel's teammate Mark Webber was involved in a moment of controversy during a pit stop when his wheel flew off and hit a cameraman.
Allen was treated by medics immediately with the FIA issuing a statement following the accident.
It read: "He was treated at the circuit medical center and then transported by helicopter to Koblenz Hospital. The Briton has been kept there, under observation. Further information from the hospital will be provided as soon as it becomes available."
Christian Horner, the team principle of Red Bull also confirmed to reporters that Allen had not "suffered serious injury".
"It's a timely reminder that working in the pit lane is dangerous," he said.
"Everyone reacted incredibly quickly and the most important thing is to hear that he seems to be fundamentally OK."
Tire trouble
After the six blowouts at Silverstone last weekend and the threat of a boycott by the Grand Prix Drivers Association should similar happen again, Formula One's official tire supplier Pirelli modified its rear tires with a Kevlar strip to help prevent punctures.
It appeared to do the trick, although there was still stinging criticism from Hamilton, who finished fifth.
"I have nothing positive to say about these tires," the Mercedes driver told reporters.
"I don't understand why we struggle so much on them. But the team is working hard and we need to keep pushing.
"We didn't have any blowouts this weekend, but I don't particularly like the tires. But everyone else is getting on with them, so we have to work harder."
Meanwhile, Raikkonen has now recorded points in his past 26 races and revealed he suffered communication problems as the afternoon wore on.
"My radio only worked in one part of the circuit and unfortunately today there was quite a lot to discuss," he told reporters.
"It wasn't ideal. We did well but we didn't have the speed. Maybe the race could have been a little longer. The result wasn't ideal for us but we are getting back to where we should be."

Last week, Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation and Woodhaven Business Improvement District board members were invited to Gracie Mansion for the 2012 Neighborhood Achievement Awards. It was a lovely reception on the lawn of, as our Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg refers to it, "the People's House," a beautiful mansion on the river. It was a very enjoyable evening.
There are many very good, special women in Queens, and especially in Woodhaven. We are truly blessed with these wonderful, intelligent talented wives and mothers. In recent months, we lost three of these special ladies.
The first lady we lost was columnist and photographer Dee Richards. I remember her when I first became active in our community 37 years ago. Dee was one of the first journalists that photographed pictures of and wrote about Woodhaven activists (including myself) at our various rallies and quality-of-life fights. She was so aware of all Queens communities and has been referred to as "a part of institutional Queens" for many years. I knew Dee and truly admired her talent with her ever-present camera and her intuitive writing.
Then we sadly lost our own Woodhaven artistic iconic Rita McCauley of the Woodhaven Gallery. The McCauley Family was always very active in our Woodhaven community. I remember when the McCauley family and Felix Occhiuto opened their gallery, immediately beautifying our Jamaica Avenue. The portrait photographers and the beautiful photographs were on display. The exquisite frames being individual works of art. Then Rita perfected the process of using photographs to create oil painted portraits and also restore photographs of old crushed town pictures.
When Felix Occhiuto passed away, I was so thankful that our Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation was able to honor him and the McCauley Family at our 2000 Dinner Dance before his passing. Also, in 2009 our organization again honored the McCauley Family for their community involvement at our Wonderful Woodhaven Street Festival 2009.
Last week, Woodhaven's First Lady passed away: Julia Schmidt, wife of the late Honorable Frederick Schmidt, Woodhaven assemblyman and then judge. Julia Schmidt was a teacher and very involved in St. Thomas the Apostle Church. She was always supportive of her husband's elected position as a champion of Woodhaven. I had always thought of "Fred" as we know him as our Woodhaven's own foremost number one leader, and her as our First Lady. It is so sad to lose such talented, beautiful ladies. They each excelled in their lives with their intelligence and in being loving wives and mothers. I know that many join me in mourning their loss.
As the American flags fly along our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue, fly your American flag proudly and replace it often. Wear your flag pin, too. May God bless our leaders, may God bless our armed forces, coalition forces, may God bless us all, and most of all may God bless our America.

Eisenhower signs Hawaii statehood bill
On this day in 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a bill making Hawaii the 50th state.
Ike, as Eisenhower was known, entered the White House in 1953 in charge of 48 states; two more had been added by the time he left office in 1961. During his 1952 presidential campaign, Eisenhower had advocated for the admission of Alaska and Hawaii to the Union but recommended adding Hawaii first. Congress, on the other hand, favored admitting Alaska first, as Alaskan oil would be beneficial to the nation's economy.
Although he realized the value of Alaska's natural resources, Eisenhower feared that statehood would interfere with his administration's ability to establish and control defense installations in the territory closest to Soviet Russia. Hawaii, which had been annexed by the U.S. in 1898, possessed defense installations that were equally important to national security, but a strong congressional contingent of Democrats from southern states expressed concern over incorporating Hawaii's predominantly non-white population into the Union.
Amidst continuing opposition from members of Congress to the idea of admitting Hawaii to the Union first, Eisenhower eventually relented, after receiving assurances that an Alaskan state government would not interfere in the federal operation of military installations in the region, or the president's right to reserve territory for future bases. Alaska became a state in January 1959. Eight months later, southern opposition was finally overcome and Hawaii joined the Union.

Youngest Democrat National Delegate Is Incoming New Mexico Tech Student, Aug. 5, 2008
Right: Sean Stimmel receives a check from political blogger Joe Monahan to offset costs of attending the Democratic National Convention.
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 5, 2008 – The youngest ever New Mexico delegate to a national Democratic convention is an incoming Tech student.
Sean Stimmel, 19, of Los Alamos, will miss the first week of classes while he participates in the Democratic National Convention in Denver from August 25 to 28.
Stimmel graduated from Los Alamos High School in 2006 and spent one year in school at the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos. When he returns from the convention, he will start classes at New Mexico Tech, where he will be a biology major with hopes of entering veterinary school after completing his bachelor's.
For the remainder of August, however, the world of politics will consume his attention.
"I hope I can meet with young delegates who supported Hillary Clinton and perhaps smooth over any hard feelings," he said in an interview with political blogger Joe Monahan.
"This is my first experience with politics and it is one of the most exciting things ever for me," Stimmel told Monahan.
State Democratic Party chairman Brian Colon said it has been a fast moving few months for the Los Alamos native, culminating in his being selected as an alternate delegate to the national meeting.
"Sean went from being a curious supporter to a dedicated volunteer and delegate to the Democratic National Convention," Colon said. "It's exciting that for Sean this is his first time voting in a Presidential election."
Stimmel, who turns 20 on the first day of the convention, campaigned for Obama in South Dakota earlier this summer. He hopes to meet the presidential contender in person some day.
In an article in the Los Alamos Monitor, Stimmel said Obama inspired him to switch his voter registration from Independent to Democrat.
"I share his dream and passion," Stimmel said. "Politics before Barack seemed dirty and like they'd do anything for a dollar. Barack is really there for the people of America and not for the lobbyists. Also, he is so clean that they can't find anything bad about him."
Stimmel told the Los Alamos Monitor that he is dedicated to becoming a veterinarian, but hopes to run for state or national office some day.

New Mexico International Education Consortium
Seven post-secondary institutions in New Mexico have banded together to allow our students to use each other's study-abroad programs. For example, Tech students have access to programs run by UNM in several other countries and to ISEP (International Student Exchange Program) opportunities around the world through NMSU. In both cases, students pay tuition and fees directly to the New Mexico partner school, not to Tech, when using this program.

Optical and X-ray Composite Image of SNR 0509-67.5
This image of supernova remnant 0509-67.5 was made by combining data from two of NASA's Great Observatories. Optical data of SNR 0509-67.5 and its accompanying star field, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, are composited with X-ray images from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The result shows soft green and blue hues of heated material from the X-ray data surrounded by the glowing pink optical shell, which shows the ambient gas being shocked by the expanding blast wave from the supernova. Ripples in the shell's appearance coincide with brighter areas of the X-ray data.
The Type Ia supernova that resulted in the creation of SNR 0509-67.5 occurred nearly 400 years ago for Earth viewers. The supernova remnant lies in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy about 170,000 light-years from Earth. The bubble-shaped shroud of gas is 23 light-years across and is expanding at more than 11 million miles per hour (5,000 kilometers per second).
Data from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys, taken in 2006 with a filter that isolates light from glowing hydrogen, were combined with visible-light images of the surrounding star field that were taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 in 2010. These data were then merged with X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory taken with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) in 2000 and 2007.

In 1987 Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band, comprising himself and Gilson Lavis. This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 20-piece Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals, guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three trumpets, and four trombones.
Since learning to play fluently at the tender age of eight, Jools has gone on to become one of the UK's most proficient jazz and blues pianists. Having toured extensively with his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, his charismatic personality, impeccably good taste and accessible music have made him one of the nations most well-respected and well-loved musicians As well as formidable live performances, Jools has maintained a prolific recording career since signing to Warner Music in 1996, which includes the multimillion selling Jools Holland and Friends series. Notable 'friends' have included Sting, Chrissie Hynde, George Harrison, Norah Jones, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Bono, Joe Strummer, KT Tunstall, Robert Plant, Smokey Robinson, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel, Solomon Burke and many more.
Jools' career as a television presenter has run parallel to his musical career. He started in the early 1980s when he interviewed The Police for a documentary that was made while they were recording at George Martin's Montserrat studio. Jools then auditioned to become co-presenter (with Paula Yates) of The Tube, which achieved almost immediate cult status and discovered a whole new generation of musicians and comedians between 1981 and 1986. Jools also managed to secure a rare interview with Miles Davis, which was broadcast on 14th November 1986.
