Six cycles
By Samantha Carr
Hitting for the cycle is one of the more rare feats in baseball. It has happened only 286 times in the history of the game.
On Monday night, Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki made it 287 when he became the sixth player in 2009 to accomplish the feat.
Tulowitzki had a career-high seven RBIs during his five-hit performance against the Chicago Cubs, putting the Rockies in first place in the National League Wild Card race and cutting the Los Angeles Dodgers' lead to 5 1/2 games in the NL West.
"It's definitely more satisfying that I did it in a game that means a lot," Tulowitzki said.
He joins Orlando Hudson, Ian Kinsler, Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer and Melky Cabrera on the list of players who have hit for the cycle in 2009. They have all donated items from their historic feat to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, with the latest item being Tulowitzki's batting gloves.
Only five other times in history have there been six cycles in one season. Only twice (1890 and 1933) have more than six cycles been reached.
In 1933, a record eight players hit for the cycle, and five of them were later inducted into the Hall of Fame: Chuck Klein, Arky Vaughan, Mickey Cochrane, Jimmie Foxx and Earl Averill. Cochrane, who had also hit for the cycle in 1932, Pinky Higgins and Foxx were all teammates on the Philadelphia Athletics and hit for the cycle within a two-week span during the first half of August.
1933 cycles

June 24: Arky Vaughan, Pittsburgh

I was a good kid growing up, but a lousy history student. If I'd been a bad kid — if I'd drank, I mean — I think I would've done much better with the history stuff.
Intellectually speaking, what I love about booze (food, too) is that it's everything. It's history and it's agriculture, it's economics (both macro and micro? I was especially shitty at Econ), culture and style, a science and, some of us even like to believe, an art. If I'd been remotely interested in a subject like cocktails as a teenager (rum and diet Coke not included), it could've been my entry into giving a shit about the subject of history.
Which brings me to Tom Bullock, St. Louis bartender of yesteryear and creator of the All Right Cocktail.
I first heard about Bullock through bartending at The Royale, where one of his cocktails was included on the original menu. He'd been a local mixer of some renown and had published his own recipe book sometime before Prohibition, was all I knew — well, that, and the fact that the libation in question, which he'd judiciously christened the All Right Cocktail, made for a fabulous study in simple sophistication: A concoction of three elemental ingredients that gave a nod to other bourbon-based beauts like the Sazerac and the Old-Fashioned while fashioning itself into something distinct and new; a sipper that could take the edge off a summer swelter and warm the belly in the depths of winter; and a cocktail I'd never received anything but grateful compliments on whenever I served it.
I've since plumbed for more info on Bullock, and he's fast become my onion. Bullock, born in Louisville a few years after the Civil War, is widely considered the first African-American ever — or still — to author a book of cocktail recipes. The Ideal Bartender was released in 1917; in 2001, it was reissued under a different author (D.J. Frienz) and a new title, 173 Pre-Prohibition Cocktails: Potations [Ed. note: Great word!] So Good They Scandalized A President. The subtitle refers to a brouhaha that erupted when Teddy Roosevelt claimed he'd only partaken twice in his life, both less than a full serving, one of them a julep prepared by Bullock — an impossible feat, declared the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in an editorial, as "who was ever known to drink just a part of one of Tom's?"
Bullock did the lion's share of his tending (including during Prohibition, it seems) at the St. Louis Country Club, where one of his most vocal adherents was George Herbert Walker, grandfather of George H. W. Bush and great-grandpaps to Dubya.
Walker penned the introduction to The Ideal Bartender. As Walker so wrote, I likewise encourage you to "follow on, and as you sip the nectar of his schemings tell your friends, to the ends that both they and he may be benefitted." The book is public domain, which means you can read the whole thing for free here, or listen to a free recording of it here. Don't worry, there won't be a test later.
The All Right Cocktail
(Adapted from The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock)
2 ounces Old Overholt Rye Whiskey
3/4 ounce Cointreau
2 or 3 dashes Angostura Bitters
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass. Mix briskly for a few seconds and strain into highball. Serve with a side highball furnished with a cube of ice.
Tasting Notes:
The Royale's take on the All Right called for bourbon, not rye. I am assuming this is because, when we first opened in 2005, like most cocktail bars we still hadn't become hip to rye and therefore didn't have any. We used Maker's. You'll of course have a sweeter All Right if you opt for this.
I chose Old Overholt over Jim Beam Rye because I consider the former to have a scratchier taste to it, which kinda gives the Cointreau something to play against.
Oh, also, Bullock's recipe calls for orange (but not also blue) curacao. Does anyone really use this anymore? (Not necessarily a rhetorical question.) In any case, Cointreau if you're fancy, rail triple sec if you're not, either should do you just fine.
Lastly, Bullock doesn't call for the side glass of ice, I just think it makes for a nice way to present and explore the cocktail, like how certain enthusiasts like to make their way through a dram of Scotch adding a bit of water at a time. During the summer, of course, you might do a full-on rocks, while I'd forgo it in the winter. In fact, in the winter, I might even forgo the ice in the mixing glass.

Scoliosis surgery repairs abnormal curving of the spine (scoliosis ). The goal is to safely straighten your child's spine and align your child's shoulders and hips to correct your child's back problem.
Before surgery, your child will receive general anesthesia. This will make your child unconscious and unable to feel pain during the operation.
During surgery, your child's surgeon will use steel rods, hooks, screws, or other metal devices to straighten your child's spine and support the bones of the spine. Bone grafts are placed to hold the spine in the correct position and keep it from curving again.
The surgeon will make at least one surgical cut to get to your child's spine. This cut may be in your child's back, chest, or both places. The surgeon may also do the procedure using a special video camera.
During the surgery:
The surgeon may get bone for the grafts in these ways:
Different surgeries use different types of metal instruments. These are usually left in the body after the bone fuses together. Two of the more common procedures are:
During surgery, the nerves that come from the spine will be watched using special equipment to make sure no damage is done to any of the nerve roots.
Scoliosis surgery usually takes 4 - 6 hours. It may take longer or shorter for some children.
Spinal curvature surgery - child; Kyphoscoliosis surgery - child; Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery - child; VATS - child
There are several reasons to treat scoliosis:
Braces are often tried first to keep the curve from getting worse.
The choice of when to have surgery will vary.
Surgery is usually recommended for the following children and adolescents with scoliosis of unknown cause (idiopathic scoliosis):
There may be complications with any of the procedures for scoliosis repair.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Possible complications from any scoliosis repair surgery are:
Problems that may develop in the future include:
Tell your child's doctor or nurse what medicines your child is taking. This includes medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before the operation:
During the 2 weeks before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
The doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Be sure to arrive on time.
Your child will need to stay in the hospital for about 3 - 4 days after surgery. The repaired spine should be kept in its proper position to keep it aligned. If the surgery involved a surgical cut in the chest, your child may have a tube in the chest to drain fluid buildup. This tube is often removed after 24 - 72 hours.
A catheter (tube) may be placed in the bladder the first few days to help your child urinate.
Your child's stomach and bowels may not work for a few days after surgery. Your child may need to receive fluids and nutrition through an intravenous (IV) line.
Your child will receive pain medicine in the hospital. At first, pain medicine may be delivered through a special catheter inserted into your child's back. After that, a pump may be used to control how much pain medicine your child gets. Your child may also get shots or take pain pills.
Your child may have a body cast or a body brace.
Follow any instructions you are given on how to care for your child at home.
Your child's spine should look much straighter after surgery. There will still be some curve. It takes at least 3 months for the spinal bones to fuse together well. It will take 1 - 2 years for them to fuse completely.
Fusion stops growth in the spine. This is not usually a concern because most growth occurs in the long bones of the body, such as the leg bones. Children who have this surgery will probably gain height from both growth in the legs and from having a straighter spine.

Schedule TBA
©2015 Belle-Clair Speedway All rights reserved
Cloudy skies and an afternoon rain shower may have scared a few competitors away from making the trip to Belle-Clair Speedway for the Shamrock 40, but there were some good cars on hand that provided some great and exciting action.
Defending UMP DIRTcar Modified National Champion Mike Harrison started on the front row pole for the Modified main event and it appeared he was going to dominate the feature event. However, a couple of other drivers had other ideas. Early on it would be Brian Bielong moving up to challenge Harrison for the top spot. Bielong would stay in Harrison's shadow but wouldn't be able to make a move for the lead. As the laps began to wind down, Dean Hoffman moved in on the leaders from his sixth place starting spot. Hoffman would get to the second spot and then a late race caution would close the gap and allow Hoffman to restart right on Harrison's bumper. Hoffman would use the low side to pull even with Harrison, but Harrison would power out of the turns on the high side past Hoffman on each straight-away. Harrison would hang on and get a close win over Hoffman. Brett Korves made a nice run from the seventh starting spot to finish third. Tim Hancock would come from the twelvth starting spot to take fourth. A late race flat tire would push Bielong back to a fifth place finish.
In the UMP DIRTcar/AARA Sportsman main event, Mike "Wahoo" Jones made short work of early leader John Schrand and powered his way to an impressive victory. Jones worked the lapped traffic flawlessly and opened up a comfortable lead enroute to the win. Schrand would hold on for a second place finish while Cory Ford and Denny Tribout battled in out for the third spot with Ford getting the better position. C.J. Simpson would complete the top five.
Michael Kloos of Trenton, Illinois has become one of the toughest competitors at Belle-Clair Speedway in the UMP DIRTcar Late Model division. Over the last three seasons, Kloos has accumulated more feature wins at Belle-Clair Speedway than any other driver. Kloos didn't disappoint in the forty lap Shamrock 40 main event as he led the final thirty-eight laps enroute to the win. Frankie Martin jumped out to the early lead at the drop of the green flag, but Kloos only needed two laps to dispense of Martin and take over the top spot. Throughout much of the event Kloos pulled away and led comfortably as he worked lapped traffic. Randy Korte, who was making his first start in over a year after health problems kept him sidelined all of 2010, would move past Martin and take over the second spot on lap eleven. Korte was unable to track down Kloos for the top spot as he gave chase lap after lap. Meanwhile, the big mover through the field was Brent Kreke. Kreke started back in the eleventh starting position and methodically worked his way to the front, picking off cars lap after lap. Finally, with just six laps remaining, Kreke moved past Korte for the second spot and set his sights on Kloos. A lap later, the caution would fly for Korte as his power plant went sour and he pulled to a stop on the front stretch. That would give Kreke the break he needed as he would restart right on Kloos' rear bumper. On the restart, Kreke would try many different lines to move past Kloos for the lead. However, Kloos kept his machine glued to the bottom of the track and didn't allow Kreke to get underneath him. Kreke wouldn't make the high side work and couldn't get inside of Kloos and would have to settle for the second spot as Kloos raced to the win. Mike Hammerle would also have a great run as he would finish in the third spot, staying close to Kloos and kreke hoping they would make a mistake and allow him past the two of them. Frankie Martin would settle for the fourth spot while Cory Daughtery came on strong in the closing laps to round out the top five.

Using Passphrases Over Passwords for Better Security
Last Updated: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 > Related Articles
Learn about using passphrases instead of passwords to increase the security of your accounts.
Passwords are necessary when accessing a computer system or just simply browsing the web. Whether you use online banking or stock trading, a strong password can mean the difference between a secure account or an invitation to hackers.
It is highly recommended that you use a passphrase instead of a password. Passphrases are usually longer then the traditional password and add an additional layer of safety since they cannot be easily guessed by an intruder.
The use of a good passphrase can enhance the safety of all your online accounts and computer systems.
It is also recommended that you use a different password for each website you have an account for. You should never reuse your email password when signing up for any account online such as banking or stock trading.
Creating Passphrases
To create a passphrase, take an expression such as, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Use the first letter of each word of the sentence in the password. In this example, the password would contain yctaodnt, then add a numeral, special character, and capitalization to get 4ycTaodnT!.
You may also use a favorite quote as your passphrase such as BruceWillisismyhero. Add a few numbers, change the letters to number, or add some special characters and you will have created a passphrase that is almost impossible to guess, BruceW1ll1s1smyher0!. Not too hard to remember yet very tough for someone to break.
Additional Resources
Several free and paid for services can assist you in managing your passphrases.
- KeyPass - http://keepass.info/
- LastPass - http://lastpass.com/
Cox does not endorse or support these products. These are only references to available products allowing you to manage multiple passphrases from a single location. Support for these programs are handled by the respective software manufacturers.

Last month I emphasized the point that it will be not in crisis but in relevance that Jewish life will find its direction. What do I mean my relevance? I mean, first of all, intellectual relevance. Judaism, we proudly assert, is an intellectual faith. Its bearers have been called the People of the Book and a Philosopher People. It has been pointed out that the basic furnishings that tran-sform an auditorium into a synagogue are a book (To-rah) and a book case (ark) that holds the book. The religious leader earns his position by virtue of gradu-ation from a school (yeshi-vah) and his ordination is an academic degree (rab-bi). We are eminently a re-ligion of the mind and our piety is based on our learn-ing. All this is true, but I submit that t h e r e i n is the heart of our predica-ment. We are a civilization based upon knowledge and learning but our people are by and large neither Jew-ishly learned or knowledg- J U L I U S FLIGELMAN able. * * * Is it not obvious to you as it is me that a Univer-sity of Judaism is indispensable to provide that intel-lectual ferment, that flow of ideas, without which Ju-daism for all its vibrant past can be only a sterile pres-ent? Judaism must regain its intellectual relevance. But this is not enough. Knowledge by itself, in my opinion, is not redemptive. A person who knows does not necessarily live by his knowledge. Knowledge to have motive power must be imbedded in an environ-ment charged with conviction and enthusiasm for Jew-ish life. To use an analogy from physiology there must be a blood stream that can carry the intellectual nutri-ents through the arteries and veins of the Jewish body politic. * * * This blood stream can be defined as emotional rel-evance. It is found in an environment in which Juda-ism is taught, but can also be caught; where Judaism is studied, not as an abstract, esoteric, theoretical branch of scholarship but as a living civilization; where a pro-gram of studies adds up, not to a curriculum but to a way of life. Intellectual and emotional relevance to the life of our times. This is what Judaism must aspire to attain, and this is what the University of Judaism must help to achieve. MEMORABLE EVENT — William Zecken-dorf (second from left), one of world's greatest real estate operators, who assem-bled site of United Nations, discusses Southland's future at dinner given for him at Beverly Hilton as benefit for University of Judaism.

SIMON GREENBERG No servant of the Jewish community is more need-ed, and none is less appreciated than the Jewish edu-cator. Everyone will readily acknowledge that our ex-istence as a people is more dependent upon the educa-tion of our youth than is the existence of any other peo-ple. Other people are united by a government or by a :•? common territory. We have I no such bonds. We depend 1 well-nigh exclusively upon 1 the spiritual heritage which I we share; and a spiritual ;| heritage is transmitted pri- ••! marily through education. I Hence, the absolute indis- | pensability in our case, of 1 the school and the teacher. These reflections come to I mind particularly at this I time when the world of I Jewish education is paying | richly deserved tribute to one of its most distinguish-ed members, Dr. Samuel Dinin, the Dean of the Uni-versity of Judaism, who this year celebrates his 60th birthday. The event DR. SIMON GREENBERG has been noted in the He-brew and in the Jewish education press, and the South-west Branch of the Rabbinical Assembly honored him at its recent convention. Dr. Dinin is among the pioneers of Jewish educa-tion in America. He is among those whose training, de-votion, wide knowledge and manifold services have giv-en to Jewish education a status of professional dignity rarely achieved in other communities now or in the past. * * # He was awarded his Doctorate in Education at Co-lumbia University's Teachers College, at a time when that school was at its peak of influence as the leader of American thought and practice in the field of education. His volume, "Judaism In A Changing Civilization", is among the few basic and classic works in Jewish edu-cation. As a teacher he has helped train a whole genera-tion of men and women, many of whom are today guid-ing the destinies of Jewish education in communities throughout the land. As an administrator, he has guid-ed the work of the Teacher's Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, of which he was Registrar, and Associate Professor of Education from 1926 to 1945. He then accepted an invitation to come to Los An-geles, and to do the difficult pioneering job of laying the foundation for the Bureau of Jewish Education in this city. He was among the handful who planned the organization of the University of Judaism. From its be-ginnings, he was its Chief Administrative Officer, guid-ing the academic work *o f t#h e #University. Today, as editor of "The Jewish Education" maga-zine, and as Dean of the University of Judaism, his vast erudition, his integrity of character, his wide experi-ence, his felicity of expression, continue to make him one of the great blessings of the American Jewish Community. We greet him on his 60th birthday with gratitude for his contributions of the past and with prayers that the Almighty bless him with health and happiness to continue his great work, "ad mea v'essrim" - to a "hun-dred and twenty". Library Gets Large Photo Collection On Nazi Crimes in Poland of 1939-45 An Important contribution has: been made to the library by rep-resentatives of the local branch of Ilir American Federation of Polish Jews, coincident with the impend-ing commemoration of the anni-versary of the Warsaw Ghetto. The donation consists of 145 large photos of the evidence reflec-ting the history of Nazi crimes perpetrated on the Jews of Po-land during 1939-1945. Typical of the photos are those that describe: 1. The great round-ups in the streets of Warsaw and deporta-tion to concentration and forced labor camps. 2. The Jewish work battalions in Warsaw. 8. Deportation of c h i l d r e n from Merycin. 4. The canip in D r a n c y, France. Another photo collection of con-siderable historical interest, is a volume of photographs entitled 1939-1945, "We Have Not Forgot-ten", published in Poland by the League of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy. The text of the photographs is printed in three languages, English, French and Russian. These photographs are part of our larger collection of 150 vol-umes and pamphlets in history, personal memoirs and fiction deal-ing with the history of the catas-trophies. This includes pamphlets shelves of books and pamphlets on Eichmann. Our catastrophe collection has been consulted by many researchers, both Jewish and non-Jewish, writing on this and relative events.

LAX Throughout the ages Jew-ish tradition has steadfast-ly maintained that of all the crowns worn by men - - the crown of a good name stands supreme. The bearer of such a distin-guished name, Isadore Familian, is vice-chairman of the Univer-sity of Judaism where he has been active since its founding. Son of a belover leader of Los Angeles Jewry, David Familian, whose benefactions blessed just about every worthwhile Jewish cause in Southern California, Isadore and his late devoted brother George followed passion-ately in their father's footsteps. Isadore points with pride to a handsome portrait of his father which hangs in his office. "I owe it all to him. His inspiration fills my life as it did my broth-er George's," he said simply. "My father told us—'Never turn away any request for help for a good cause'—and we never have." BUSINESS LEADER President of Price, Pfister and Brass and Manufacturing Com-pany, Familian numbers more than 20 corporations of which he is either an officer or board member. His latest post is board ISIDORE FAMILIAN . . . continues tradition . . . member of the newly opened Commonwealth Bank. Despite the press of business demands, he makes time for serving as vice president of Sportsmen for City of Hope, board member of City of Hope, division chairman for March of Dimes, chairman of Iron and Steel Division of Community Chest, perennial member of Ad-visory Cabinet of UJA, former chairman for five years of UJA's Construction Division, chairman of UJA Plumbing Division, former president of his congre-gation- Valley Jewish Commun-ity Center, and the list goes on and on. With all the responsibilities of both business and communal affairs Isadore Familian main-tains a tradition of thoughtful-ness that endears him to all who know him. His little encourag-ing and appreciative notes to friends and co-workers are a warm reminder of the remark-ably fine human being he truly is. No person too small, no kind act too trivial for his prompt, warm acknowledgement. ALL CREEDS Born in Chicago and raised and educated in Los Angeles, he has brought to his business the same intense love of humanity that marked his father's life. "Before our family owned Price, Pfister," he said, "its em-ployees were restricted to one national group. Today, our 700 employees include people of ev-ery race, creed and national or-igin. We have also pioneered in the employment of the physical-ly handicapped. We have 30 such employees, including six who are sightless. They all do a wonder-ful job."

World famed singer Dinah <^ - Shore is the latest to lend her talents and experience to the Uni-versity of Judaism's Advisory Council for Radio and Television founded recently to bring addi-tional know-how to the institu-tion's ever-expanding series of broadcast programs. The council, headed by actor Ezra Stone, includes such lumin-aries as Hugh Benson, executive assistant to the vice president of Warner Bros.; Peter Cott, assist-ant to the president of the Aca-demy of Television Arts and Sci-ences; Louis F. Edelman, packag-er of the Danny Thomas Show and other TV series; Arthur Frankel, Screen Gems, Inc.; Dr. Arthur Friedman, chairman of the televi-vision division of the Theater Arts Department of UCLA, and Irving Friedman, president of the Prim-rose Co. Others who have accepted coun-cil posts include Sheldon Leonard, executive producer of Marterto Enterprises, Inc.; Samuel Sacks head of the legal department of William Morris Agency; Thomas W. Sarnoff, vice president of NBC; Joseph Schildkraut and Robert M. Weitman, vice president of MGM Television. ISIDORE FAMILIAN (Continued from Page 3) Indicative is his approach to the University of Judism where his drive and resourcefulness have sparked numerous cam-paigns and meetings. "Every good Jewish cause - in fact every good cause— de-serves support," he declared. ''And as long as 1 can I'll sup-port them all. But—there are some institutions that go to the heart of the problem. How will we get future generations to support these causes? To feel a responsibility and a love for them?" TEACHES THE TEACHERS "In a sense, the University of Judaism can be considered the roots that make the tree of Jew-ish communal life healthy and meaningful. It teaches the teachers who teach us and our children. It teaches our rabbis and communal leaders. It en-courages creative Jewish expres-sion in the arts. As an institu-tion of higher learning it gives us stature as Jews with other universities—and through its popular television programs, it presents an image of the Amer-ican Jew as a citizen deeply concerned with the moral and ethical health of our nation and our generation. We can all walk a little straighter because of that." Among his many significant benefactions is the David Fa-milian Rabbinic Scholarship at the Jewish Theological Semin-ary of America, parent institu-tion of the University of Juda-ism, established jointly by Isa-dore and his brother, George. The two brothers built still another impressive monument honoring their father when they built the David Familian Chapel, principal sanctuary of the Val-ley Jewish Community Center. CITY OF HOPE And now, at the City of Hope —the George Familian Research Building marks still another ma-jor milestone in the significant contributions of the Familian family. Through the years of their devoted happily married life, his lovely wife Sunny has been his loving and staunch partner. In her own right, she has made a distinguished name in many communal activities— and she has consistently encouraged him and served at his side. Blessed with two fine chil-dren— Sandra (now Mrs. Marvin J. Smalley) who is already fol-lowing in her parents footsteps DINAH SHORE lends her talents . Strassburg Radio Series Syndicated The University of Judaism's lo-cally produced radio show, "Music of the Bible," launched experi-mentally in co-operation with KGBS as just a 13-week series, has now climbed to its 39th pro-gram and is being carried on sta-tions in five other cities. This was announced by Bill Thompson, program manager of the station. He said the program is now being carried in Philadel-phia, Miami, Cleveland, Palm Springs and Toledo. The 30-minute program with ac-cent on music inspired by the Bi-ble, "Music of the Bible" is heard each Sunday at 11 a.m. over KGBS, with Robert Strassburg, assistant to the Dean of Fine Arts, as host. in community service — and Gary, currently a student at the University of Southern Califor-nia, the Familians are especially proud of their three delightful grandchildren, with another on the way. Yes, theirs is a full life. It is a meaningful and truly signi-ficant life. It is a family that follows passionately the admoni-tion—" Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children— not by word alone but by exam-ple. It is a life to which our sages referred when they so aptly proclaimed for all generations to come—"but the Crown of a Good Name stands above all the rest." JUDGE HEADS UJ COMMITTEE—Superior Court Justice David Coleman, left, confers with Julius Fligelman in judge's chambers on the university's new Committee on Wills and Bequests which the Justice agreed to chair. Providing dramatic impetus to the work of the committee was the announce-ment by Mr. Fligelman that he is making a bequest of $50,000 to the university, first bequest so far announced.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'ny state' tag.
My last post briefly discussed new york state's stubborn opposition to parole, and how and why a lot of people, including some freedom fighters, are stuck. new jersey is not too different and I'm sure other u.s. states aren't either.
All of this can serve our desire to delay, opt out, and/or rationalize not writing the letters and helping prisoners of war and political prisoners when they come up for parole. Especially for anarchists and others who are rightly pessimistic about institutional reform and wanting to concentrate energies on autonomous and anti-state endeavors as much as possible.
If you're like me and aware of these things, you've delayed as much as possible and maybe too long. As much as I'd like to say the letters don't matter and we can disregard those calls to action with a clean conscience, if you're like me, you really can't. The truth is there is a chance it will help. And it's a chance we can't afford to pass up.
Sundiata Acoli , Seth Hayes, and Jalil Muntaqim are all up for parole in June any day now. It may be too late but send your letters in now. I don't want this to be a do-this-now kind of blog but I gotta blog like that today before I head to the mailbox.
If you're not familiar with political prisoners, prisoners of war, and related issues, now is a great time to learn about them and possibly help stop states from continuing to make examples of people, at great human cost, to discourage dissent and community action. All three of these men have made sacrifices for the cause of Black Liberation and the cause of humanity and have contributed to the lengthening of chains some of us enjoy out here in minimum custody. Leaving them to struggle alone now would be to turn our backs on the past and the future at our own peril.

arizona mavericks luis ibarra and teresa rosano are making dreams come true—one thoughtful house at a time.
Play Slideshow >>
rising star: luis ibarra and teresa rosano, ra, leed ap
Steven Meckler
Working with extreme desert conditions rather than fighting against them, Luis Ibarra and Teresa Rosano fashioned hardy materials like galvanized steel and concrete into elegant tableaus on the Winter Residence.
Bill Timmerman
The Garcia Residence's conrete block structure follows the contours of the steep hillside lot, while its thermal mass works wonders in keeping interiors cool.
Oversized, loftlike windows carefully frame the dramatic scenery.
Even as a fledgling firm designing its first new house, Ibarra Rosano let the landscape lead the design.
Ibarra and Rosano used their landscaping design prowess to transform a side door into a grand entrance for the Moltz landscape commission.
The abstract entry arch also draws guests toward the outdoor living area, with its desert-viewing platform.
Glulam beams form an extruded window seat overlooking the entry courtyard.
Integrated color in the split-faced concrete block helps the Downing Residence blend into its surrounding rock outcroppings.
The firm frequently uses enclosed courtyards, like this one at Six, to maxaimize cross-ventilation.
Luis Ibarra just had one of his original music compositions performed by a local high school orchestra. Teresa Rosano, RA, LEED AP, is about to test for her black belt in karate. Houses in Six, the couple's latest development venture, are selling before they're built, and their five-person firm has been tapped to work with Will Bruder, AIA, among others, on a 76-acre mixed-use development in Glendale, Ariz. Things are going well for the husband-and-wife team, who just nine years ago used prize money from a kitchen design competition to launch their own firm.
That award-winning kitchen is in Ibarra and Rosano's house—the testing ground for endless experiments with new techniques and materials. "It's a lab for ideas," Ibarra confirms. "There are pieces of our house that you'll see in our other projects." They bought and began renovating the house as an outlet for their modernist tendencies while working for Vint & Associates Architects. Although their former firm favors a more traditional aesthetic, Ibarra and Rosano learned there that the fundamentals of good architecture have nothing to do with style and everything to do with the relationship of a building to its site. Out on their own, the couple continue to infuse their contemporary structures with historical references. "We combine modern aesthetics with an idea of place," Ibarra says.
For them, the place in question is the high desert in and around Tucson, Ariz. Both native Tucsonans, they understand all too well that the most dramatic aspects of this locale —incredible heat, intense sun, and limited rainfall—also present the biggest design challenges. To combat these extremes, the pair has found that indigenous construction techniques, including thick walls, earth-based building materials, courtyards, and strategic solar orientation, still pack the most punch for keeping desert structures cool.
Unfortunately, Ibarra and Rosano's hometown doesn't always recognize these important, locally specific solutions. "One of the frustrations of working here is that the city isn't really looking for architecture that fits," Ibarra says. Rosano adds that their time spent on various planning and political committees hasn't seemed to yield results. Now that their firm is gaining recognition, they plan to push a bit harder against zoning laws that favor sprawl instead of density. They'll also continue to show how sensitive architecture effects positive change. "We spend the majority of our lives and experiences at home," Ibarra explains, "so we feel we make a difference in many people's lives by doing houses. But it's also great to create spaces that touch greater masses of people."
Ibarra cites Glenn Murcutt, Hon. FAIA, as his biggest influence. Murcutt was a visiting professor at Ibarra's architecture school, The University of Arizona (UA), in the early 1990s—long before he won the Pritzker Prize and garnered international fame. Murcutt "really filled in a lot of gaps about architecture for me," Ibarra explains. He was particularly wowed by Murcutt's ability to design stunning buildings that nonetheless defer to their environment. (Like Murcutt, Ibarra Rosano does the landscape design for its projects.) Ibarra was also inspired by Murcutt's accomplishments as a sole practitioner. "Our business model is based on his practice. We have that same mission of staying small so we can stay hands-on and be selective about our projects."
Rosano met Ibarra at UA, but her journey to a career in architecture began much earlier. "When I was 1 year old, my father built our house out of adobe blocks that he made from earth on the site," Rosano says. "That imprinted my life." Rosano's father was a pneumatic control contractor and a metal artist. Her mother was also an artist and a teacher. That childhood filled with learning the mechanics of putting things together and appreciating beauty gives Rosano an eye for exquisite detail and a curiosity for figuring out new ways to build.
Ibarra asked Rosano to work with him on a project while in school; the collaboration went so well that they've been life and design partners ever since. Ibarra graduated in 1993 and went to work for Manuel Rojo. He recommended Rosano for an internship at Rojo's firm, where she continued to work after her graduation a year later. The couple then worked at different firms for a while, but both ended up working together again at Vint before leaving to start their own firm in 1999.
Officially, Ibarra Rosano Design Architects is less than a decade old, but its principals bought the house that launched the firm 12 years ago. They joke that their house will always be a work in progress. The addition of a backyard studio is one recent change. Currently under way is a remodel of their award-winning kitchen, because it was designed for a 900-square-foot house that "now is 2,600 square feet," Ibarra explains. Along with earning the couple national exposure and the funds to start their business, the award delivered the firm's first official whole-house client: a college acquaintance of Ibarra's who saw and admired the kitchen in a local newspaper.
The resulting Garcia Residence has since been published many times over and looks as fresh today as it did then. Created using commonplace materials (concrete, plywood, and steel) in lofty ways, the house reflects the couple's ongoing belief that thoughtful design can elevate even the most ordinary materials. The project also launched a long-time collaboration with general contractor (and fellow UA School of Architecture grad) Page Repp Jr., of Repp Design + Construction. The trio became fast friends and soon realized they had more than a passion for good design in common. Says Repp: "We have a similar idea of what we want to accomplish: to improve the quality of housing by providing a high level of design to people in an affordable way."
Driven by this shared mission, Ibarra and Rosano mortgaged their house to buy a vacant piece of land for a speculative project. Together with Repp and another set of believers, former clients Desi and Jerry Winter, the group formed a development company called Dreamspace. The empty lot became The Double—two houses designed on a tight budget and built with eco-friendly materials. To date, Dreamspace has completed eight houses and a duplex. Indeed, Ibarra and Rosano's speculative work is so successful because they approach it as if it were custom work for an impassioned client.
The duo hope to apply their philosophies to more commercial and mixed-use projects that promote higher density. Until then, they continue to find inspiration in the surrounding landscape. There are a multitude of plants that thrive in the desert, says Ibarra, and each teaches a lesson of durable beauty in harmony with its surroundings. For Ibarra and Rosano—and their lucky clients—that's a lesson already learned.

The US Episode
Patri McLaughlin: Lost and Found
North Kiteboarding team members Sabrina Lutz (Germany) and Mario Rodwald (Germany) are the 2013 European Freestyle Champions in Kiteboarding.
Stefan Spiessberger (NKB) wins the tour stop. North Kiteboarding domination.
The German front-runners Mario Rodwald (22) and compatriot Sabrina Lutz (24) went into a thrilling competition in Castelldeldefels, Spain. The weather gods gave their support to the 78 riders from ten nations and so the kiteboarders took off to run the single elimination on the stormy mediterranean waters of Castelldefels. In the athletic freestyle competition the riders compete against each other in a knock out system. Judges award points for the most complex tricks and jumps. Everything went well for the two german front runners until some upset was caused in the semi-finals.
Austria's Stefan Spiessberger (24, NKB) who was close on Rodwald's heels in the overall ranking, kept his nerve and won over the German in the semi finals in a very tight match. Rodwald finished third, but Spiessberger continued his winning strike and sent spanish superstar Alex Pastor to the second place. The Austrian's win wasn't enough however to prevent Rodwald from defending his 2012 European Championship title.
In the women's division, Sabrina Lutz faced a similar fate and she too lost and won at the same time. She lost in the semi finals against her nemesis, the reigning european champion Annelou Lammerts (20) and she also managed to finish in third position, but despite her loss against Lammerts, the girl from germany won the title! She had simply already gathered enough points to secure the 2013 title. Danish talent Therese Taabbel (17) secured a second place in Castelldefels.
The winds soon calmed down and the racers were sent out to battle out their tour winner on a course staked out with buoys. Again it was a german who managed to get in front. Florian Gruber won over Julien Kerneur from France and Russia's Ivan Doronin. Then the wind decided that it was time for siesta and returned only on the very last day, when two more races could be run. Florian Gruber won race two and got a second place in the last race, which secured him the event win. However he couldn't get the overall titel due to two missing points that made North Kiteboarding team rider Maxime Nocher from France a very happy tour winner while securing a safe 2nd place in Castelldefels! Well done Maxime!
Congratulations to the whole North Kiteboarding Team, dominating the European Tour!

The KJ Experience Mauritius
Just came back from another really amazing trip to Mauritius, however this time it was not for a competition or photo shoot, but instead to run my KJ Experience kitesurf & yoga courses, helping other passionate kiters progress in their kiting, and experience the magic of Mauritius and its waters. Something thats much more rewarding than getting on a podium, winning a trophy, or getting that classic image in a magazine, is helping others to feel the stoke of the sea and kiting, and experience the inner calm of yoga. Seeing others progress, trying new manoeuvres, pushing their limits, sharing experiences, feelings, wipeouts, then being united and calmed at the end of the day with a stretching, therapeutic yoga session in a beautiful environment , is really rewarding. My KJ Experience courses seem to attract very special, interesting people, kiters from all over the world, who I feel very blessed to have met and shared time with. Each and every one brings their own unique energy, personality, riding style, aims, and humour, which creates an amazing atmosphere on and off the water!
Thanks to all of you special people who participated on the recent course in Mauritius, and to my amazing sponsors North Kiteboarding and ION who allow me to push my own limits in the sea, riding with the most revolutionary, incredible equipment! In my bag for this trip was a North 9 & 7m Dice, which is the most awesome, ultimate kite for waves and freestyle, and the Pro series 5'11 and Select 135cm Twin tip. I also had my favourite purple ION hot shorty, Nova harness, and of course a fine selection of ION bikinis and board shorts!
The only other thing that was needed was wind, waves and sunshine, which Mauritius and mother nature gave us plenty of :-)

Generations Connect for Becks
During a recent trip to Cooperstown, emotions were high for Stacey Beck, widow of former major league pitcher Rod Beck. Having been to the Hall of Fame once before with Rod by her side, this latest trip held a new meaning for Stacey. When examining items relating to Rod's career, memories of her previous life as the wife of a big league player were brought to the forefront.
"The highlights [of the Hall of Fame] were personal, mostly," said Stacey. "Seeing the photos and articles of Rod, seeing the ball from the Cubs/Giants playoff game, it all was a reminder of wonderful times for our family."
Having made this trip to the Hall with daughter Kayla and mother Francine Kurtz, Stacey's visit was meaningful for another reason – she was able to share the experience with her daughter. Watching Kayla put into context the place of her father's career within the larger history of baseball was very special.
"This was an opportunity for [Kayla] to connect to her dad's experiences; recognizing that he was a link in the baseball history chain was an awesome experience."
And what a link in the chain Rod Beck was.
To his opponents, Beck, (1968-2007), was downright intimidating. Leaning in to glare at batters with an intense stare, his long hair blowing in the wind as his pitching arm swung like a pendulum by his side, Beck was the visual definition of a closer's closer – a game finisher if there ever was one. Although his fastball rarely topped 88 mph, Beck made up for a lack of velocity with pitch placement and an intense competitiveness that made the nickname of "The Shooter" seem more fitting than the radar gun would suggest.
Indeed, Beck's passion for the adrenalin rush that came with stifling opposing teams' late inning hopes propelled him through 13 seasons in the major leagues and earned him 286 saves for the Giants, Cubs, Red Sox and Padres. More importantly, it earned him the respect of players, coaches and fans in every city where he played. His blue-collar attitude and friendly gruffness generated a dual-personality befitting his profession – frightening on the baseball diamond but approachable and earnest off the field. Said Padres teammate Trevor Hoffman, "It was hard to get through that exterior of what he looked like, but it took about 1 ½ minutes to realize that's all it was. He was a teddy bear."
Yet Beck was more than a fierce baseball player or a teddy bear. He was also an activist.
It all began in the early nineties, when the San Francisco Giants, Beck's first team, made a call for their players to become involved with a charitable cause. Having just seen "The Ryan White Story" on TV with wife Stacey, the choice was plain for Rod Beck. Believing that "No kid should have to be ashamed to be sick," Beck immediately threw himself into his chosen cause, not only raising funds, but taking the more personal approach of regularly visiting kids with HIV. "He stepped up and gave a face to those with AIDS," Stacey said during her eulogy at Rod's funeral. "He hugged and kissed children others were afraid to touch."
Beck's involvement did not stop there however, as he even went so far as convincing the Giants to host a pre-game AIDS awareness event. Held for the first time in 1994, "Until There's a Cure Day" was the first AIDS awareness event ever hosted by a professional sports team. Since that first event, "Until There's a Cure Day" has since been held annually in San Francisco and has produced more than $1.3 million for Bay area HIV/AIDS prevention education and health services.
Since Rod's untimely passing in 2007 at the age of 38, Stacey has carried on Rod's passion for charity work alongside Kayla and younger daughter Kelsey.
More than five years after his death, Rod Beck's legacy lives on.
