Traditional Indian law is experiencing a worldwide renaissance. In Ecuador and elsewhere in Latin America several national constitutions already recognize traditional Indian law and traditional Indian authorities.3 However, the recognition of traditional law is still just nominal and no legislation has been enacted to enforce such recognition on the prevailing majoritarian government. Recognition of traditional law generates new challenges due to its differences from western law or even the western-style law enacted by Indian peoples themselves. Traditional Indian law is based on Indian cultures, and for that reason, is an actual expression of Indian societies and ways of government.
This article will approach the administration of Indian justice in Ecuador and Latin America from two angles. The first considers the intersection of the law and anthropology. Today, legal scholars and anthropologists must build creative bridges between themselves to effectively and concretely contribute to the wave of constitutional reforms of Indian rights in Ecuador and Latin America. The second discusses experiences and reflections regarding the judicial administration of the Ecuadorian Indian peoples.
This article is divided into three sections. The first section presents the background of the last constitutional reforms regarding Indian rights in Ecuador. The second section outlines the appearance of a new type of Indian legislation that has the potential to transform the current judicial administration. It emphasizes how the structure of the collective Indian rights will transform classic liberal judicial concepts and give way to new relationships between Indian peoples and Ecuadorian government. Finally, the third section explores the Ecuadorian experience, exposing some key problems that should be considered in a law of Indian judicial administration.4
This section presents a brief overview of the legal history of Ecuadorian Indian rights. This history serves as a conceptual mark to analyze the actual insertion of the administration of Indian justice in the Ecuadorian constitutional reforms of 1998.
Like other Latin-American countries once the Spanish colonial term ended in Ecuador, the national state was more the political protector of a minority of powerful people than a true national state. The national state in the nineteenth-century unified the fragmented economic, social, regional and cultural forces of the country. Ecuador was a landowner state that defined itself as one nation and exercised authority over Indian people creating an internal colonialism.5 The internal colonialism in Ecuador developed in two phases. The first phase extended from the independence from Spain to the withdrawal of the Indian tribute in 1857. The second phase lasted from 1857 to the promulgation of the constitutional reforms of 1998.
In the first phase, there were clear similarities between the internal colonialism and the Spanish colonization. Both systems used domination and exploitation when dealing with Indian peoples, segregating them from mainstream Ecuadorian society. Both systems recognized the existence of Indians to effectuate the same domination. In this period the national state maintained a special tax for the Indian peoples and also particular privileges. Indians were a differentiated group and in various cases the ethnic governance authorities were recognized. Communal lands and Indian authorities formed social spaces of relative autonomy, similar to the "Republics of Indians Peoples" of the colonial period.6
The second phase, an integrationist period, was initiated in 1857 with the abolition of the tax on Indians. The respective decree abolishing the tax would presume to leave individual Indians equal to the rest of the Ecuadorians as to the debts and rights that the constitution imposes or concedes to everybody. The Ecuadorian government eliminated the Indian town hall and questioned other forms of Indian authority. The government also suppressed communal property rights of those town halls. Additionally, the Ecuadorian government created special jurisdiction for the transport of Indian merchandise and excluded Indians from enlisting into the military service.
Indian peoples tended to be legally invisible. Although at the end of the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth century, especially during the term of the liberal President Eloy Alfaro7, the Ecuadorian government enacted protection decrees to better the condition of the "Indian race." The predominant tendency in the Ecuadorian Constitution was to declare the necessity of government protection of Indians but in all other respects ignore the very existence of indigenous peoples. In 1937, the government enacted the Law of Communities (Ley de Comunas). This law failed to recognize the ethnic identity of the Indian people and, as a practical matter, defined them only as any other community of peasants. In 1964 and 1973, the laws of Agrarian Reform consolidated the omission of all ethnic diversity in Ecuadorian laws. In terms of legal ideology, Indian people were reduced to peasants in general and there was no governmentally recognized status of Indians; political, racial or otherwise.
The constitutional reforms of 1998 clearly established the multicultural and multiethnic character of the Ecuadorian State8, the condition of collective rights of the Indian peoples9, and the existence of Indian territorial circumscriptions.10 These reforms, introduced by the National Constituent Assembly ended, in legally formal terms, the integrationist phase. It is within these reforms that the 1998 Constituent Assembly introduced in the Constitution the right of the Ecuadorian Indian peoples to their own administration of justice.11
In the Ecuadorian Constitution, Indian rights are viewed as the collective rights12 of peoples that self define themselves as nationalities. For example, the right of justice and proper authorities established in article 191, is a concretion of article 84, section seven, which recognizes the Indian collective right to "©onserve and develop their traditional forms of coexistence and social organization, [and] of creation and exercise of authority."13
The characterization of Indian rights as collective rights is not purely formal, but implies that right-holders are not individuals but entire peoples. This characterization corresponds with International Labor Organization ("ILO") Convention 169, which recognizes Indian peoples as holders of the rights of education, health, culture and their own systems of justice.14
While collective rights diverge from individual human rights, they are not in opposition to these individual rights. In fact, collective rights make it possible to exercise individual rights. For example, the collective right of Indian peoples to preserve their own culture implies protection of the individual right to preserve the culture for each Indian individual. Without protection to Indian culture as a social reality created by the group, the individual right is unrealizable. In contrast, the collective rights of a society cannot be broken into individual rights: the rights belong to the group and to each one of the individual members, but never to just one individual or group of individuals. Collective rights should not be confused with diffuse rights. Diffuse rights are broad based, belonging to all in the whole society as opposed to collective rights, which are held by a discernable group.
The Latin American procedural systems are not designed to protect collective rights. As an inheritor of Roman law and European civil law, Latin American law is designed to defend individual rights. In order to protect the collective rights of Indian people, Latin American countries need to design new legal institutions. In order for Indian constitutional rights to be concrete, substantive and procedural changes need to be made, such as the legal recognition of Indian authorities, Indian penalties and Indian traditional and customary law.
Indian people in Latin America function between national government law and their traditional customs within a dynamic symbiosis where each modifies the other. Constitutional recognition of traditional Indian law is one of the highest expressions of the political fight of Latin American Indian organizations.15 This recognition in Latin American constitutions is a new phenomenon that questions national law as well as traditional Indian law.
Until recently, the Ecuadorian legal system did not recognize the existence of Indian peoples based on the idea that all are equal before the law. The situation is different today. Legislation regarding Indians will be integrated throughout the institutions of the Ecuadorian Constitution applicable to the Indian peoples. The ILO's Convention 169, ratified by Ecuador, and the various laws regarding Indian issues that Ecuadorian government can approve in the future will change the face of the Ecuadorian legal system.16 Prior legal systems denied any rights to Indians beyond purely formal constitutional rights. The 1998 constitutional reforms allow for recognition of new indigenous rights through the enactments of the Ecuadorian legislature. Additionally, the adoption of the ILO Convention 169 further recognizes indigenous rights of Indians.
Proposed Ecuadorian legislation concerning Indians have new structural characteristics compared to the laws applicable to Indian peoples in other Latin American states. These characteristics include Indian organizations participating or aspiring to participate in the legislative process, which will augment the legitimacy of these laws. Furthermore, proposed legislation recognizes, protects and coexists with a wide and diverse number of Indian traditional law systems and traditional Indian authorities. In contrast, former government legislation usually did not recognize, and sometimes even prohibited, Indian customs and authorities. Moreover, this legislation articulates relationships between the Ecuadorian state and Indian peoples. Although it crystallizes power relations, these relations are different than a dominant government law above a subordinate Indian law.17
The emerging characteristics of Ecuadorian law pose new challenges for legal anthropology, because it is not only the national state and its law that are being questioned, Indian traditional law systems will be profoundly transformed in light of formal recognition by the government. Traditional Indian law will have to legally coexist with specific new government legislation concerning Indians. In fact, in some indigenous groups, customs are being reduced to a written document, reinterpreted by new statutes and are evaluated by government judges and officials.
Criminal law reveals clear examples of the new challenges to Indians and the government when traditional Indian Law is constitutionally recognized. Some traditional Indian penalties could be considered contrary to human rights from a western point of view. In fact, ILO Convention 169 and the Latin American Constitutions18 while recognizing traditional Indian law also limit it. For example, Article 8 of the Convention, establishes that Indian peoples have the right to maintain their customs and proper institutions, which have to be made "compatible with the defined fundamental rights through the national legal system and with the internationally acknowledged human rights.19"
In Ecuador, the Constitution establishes that:
"[t]he authorities of the indigenous peoples shall exercise functions of justice, applying their own norms and procedures for the resolution of internal conflicts in conformity with their customs or customary law, as long as these are not in conflict with the Constitution and the law. The law shall make these functions compatible with the national judicial system.20"
Therefore, the recognition of traditional Indian law also implicates its subordination to and compatibility with the fundamental rights established nationally and internationally. On one hand, too broad of an interpretation of the human rights limitations to Indian jurisdiction will weaken traditional Indian law. On the other hand, Indian sanctions that implicate the death penalty or extremely strong physical punishment generally contradict human rights and violate constitutional rights. Therefore, each case should be judged considering the implied culture, values, and constitutional rights.
In Ecuador, cultural rights of Indian peoples to maintain and develop their traditional laws are also part of collective human rights recognized internationally and constitutionally. Therefore, in each specific situation it is necessary to determine if the affected human right is fundamentally violated by a ritual sanction or penalty applied by the Indian authority. It is necessary to evaluate if the affected human rights deserves greater protection than the right of the community to apply its traditional penalties in order to maintain cultural identity or social cohesion.21 It is also clear that traditional Indian law is transformed when Indian and state authorities are compelled to evaluate certain community sanctions and determine if traditional penalties should prevail over certain individual or constitutional human rights.
In the Ecuadorian Constitution, the collective right of the Indian peoples to solve their internal conflicts applying their own traditional laws constitutes an exception to the constitutional principle of jurisdictional unity. Jurisdictional unity establishes that all the authorities that administrate justice belong to the judicial function of the Ecuadorian Government. However, Indian authorities are not created by the Ecuadorian Constitution but rather recognized by it. These Indian authorities are socially generated by the proper practices of the Indian justice systems. The main problems related to these justice systems are: 1) Indian identity of individuals and its relationship to Indian jurisdiction; 2) Indian sociopolitical organization and its relation to the Indian authorities of the administration of justice; 3) the type of conflicts which should be solved by Indian jurisdiction and; 4) the constitutional limits of Indian justice.
In Ecuador and Latin America, there is not a legal identification system equivalent to the United States' system of identifying who is Indian. Identification as an Indian is purely social and cultural. One of the problems making identification less than clear is having an extended mixed population.
The problem of Indian identity of individuals is legally relevant because it is linked to the determination of jurisdiction. For example the issues of: Who is Indian? Who can or should be judged by the Indian authorities? Which are the values and traditional customs? Who are the Indian authorities with authority to judge?
Identity is dynamic and is always defined in relation to others. It emerges within complex inter-ethnic relations. Furthermore, permanent changes exist in the norms and values and in cultural parameters of Indian peoples, many of which are not the original cultural norms but rather have been assumed and re-created by the Indian population in the form of cultural loans. Multiple ethnic identities can exist and coexist, for example, the identity of an Ecuadorian who is both Quichua and Cayambí.23 The problem of individual identity is also complicated by Indian immigrants who lose connection with their Indian communities, when they move to the cities.
In various law projects drafted by Ecuadorian Indian organizations,24 Indians are allowed to either self-identify as Indians or the community is allowed to identify its members. Problems of identification arise in relation to those who are not Indian, identifying who is an Indian, from the outside.
The Ecuadorian Constitution does not create Indian authorities or traditional Indian law, but simply recognizes it. These customs and traditional Indian authorities have existed long before the Constitution and have varied largely from one Indian community to another. The Indian town hall is one example of a long-standing traditional Indian authority. The Indian town hall in the Ecuadorian highlands, exercises more power in communities where all other organizations are subordinated to it than it does in other Indian communities where the role of the town hall has been diminished. The presence of other institutions and internal and external organizations to the community, such as cooperatives, associations, clubs, churches, non-governmental organizations has limited the authority exercised by the Indian town hall. Therefore, the functions of justice within individual town halls also vary.
In the Ecuadorian highlands, some Indian communities are rebuilding the Indian town hall to be the justice administration authority. By administering their own justice the community increases its own political power while reducing the power of the national state. An illustrative example is the testimony of the Pijal community, which is located in the province of Imbabura, in the northern portion of the Ecuadorian highlands. The Pijal community stated the following ideas,
[W]e have been fortifying and defending our capacity to resolve our internal problems, taking into account our customs and our own authorities to resolve conflicts…We can observe these changes regularly in our community. Such [as], for example, when robberies occur, matrimony problems and others we always think about making justice in the community, this way of thinking is very fixed in the members of the community. We solve our daily problems in the town hall meetings and during the general assembly of the community. In our reunions there is no mention of the teniente politico [25] he was mentioned thirty or forty years ago. According to our elder Cleto Bautista, the teniente politico and the police were always present in the meetings of the community, and many times he even directed the sessions.26
Traditional proceedings of administration of Indian justice vary from one community to another. These proceedings can vary in some degree in judgment and sanctions even in the same community where they judge the same type of conflict or crime. Judgment and punishment are not mechanical but rather decided on a case-by-case basis. However, the application of customary law to similar cases makes decisions by authorities progressively foreseeable.
Jurisdiction is the main problem facing Indian judicial bodies. It is necessary to determine which Indian authorities can judge specific conflicts. However, concepts like judge, jurisdiction and law are western concepts. Traditional Indian law may have a very different version or no version at all of these legal concepts.
Moreover, Indian judgments are applied to different kinds of conflicts but always take into account the social origins of the parties and the effects of breaches of the law on the community. In the Ecuadorian highland communities, in the province of Cotopaxi, the Quichuas Indian communities solve conflicts as diverse as heritage issues, robbery by younger community members against other members or attempts of assassination against another member of the community. In each case, Indian authorities consider the correspondent social dimension of these conflicts, such as the division within the community or the inconvenience of the confrontation between communities.
The testimony of Manuel Calazacón, Governor of the Tsachila,27 clearly illustrates the Indian conscientiousness about the origins and social effects of conduct that they consider crime:
[F]or us… adultery is a crime, would think [sic] more [sic] than an assassination, … Why do we say this? We assume a comparison, I have my wife, I abandon my wife, say, with four sons, With the second wife I have 3 or 4 more sons, who will be responsible for my sons from the first marriage? My first wife desires another commitment, and where do those 4 children stay, who takes care of them, where are they going to go? If it is a girl, she will go to prostitution for necessity, if it is a boy he will rob… that is why we take care of this problem. For us adultery is very serious.28
Ecuadorian Indian communities exert their jurisdiction and apply traditional law in the following areas: criminal issues, land problems, property conflicts, etc. However, the actual capacity to exercise jurisdiction depends on the level of organization of the community and level of effective control over territory and population. In criminal issues for example, the Indian community may capture and hand over non-Indian delinquents so state authorities can judge them. In certain situations Indian communities recognize the jurisdiction of the national state. However, the credibility of the state justice is reduced when the delinquents are liberated due to the corruption of the state judges. In such a case, if the repeat offenders are again captured by the community, the prosecution is much more drastic in its sanctions, and can even include death. Thus, there is a narrow relation between Indian and state justice. The errors of ordinary state justice distort Indian justice. Reform of state justice is necessary to protect the application of Indian justice.
There can be conflicts between the application of traditional Indian sanctions and civil and political human rights, especially when the physical integrity or the life of the perpetrator is at stake. Administration of Indian justice involves the exercise of cultural rights of the Indian peoples and their political rights of participation in government through the involvement of the community in the judgment. It is important to consider that sanctions have a different meaning within Indian populations than the dominant Ecuadorian society. Sanctions are more than a mechanism for punishing the perpetrator, they are preventative measures and serve as an example for the community. The community, including family members of the perpetrator, participates in the judgment and also helps determine the sanction. Sanctions are oriented towards the reparation for the damage caused to the victim, the purification and punishment of the perpetrator and even the reconciliation between the victim and victimizer through the mediation of community intervention and the Indian authorities.
Today in Ecuador, the administration of Indian justice under the Constitution is a collective right. The Constitution itself requires a law that defines the indigenous forms of administering justice as well as the concomitant role of the Ecuadorian state. This law in conjunction with others will constitute a new type of Indian legislation that influences both communal customs and traditional law. In spite of ample diversity, traditional Indian justice systems are characterized by the goals of repairing and conciliating. These systems also involve the participation of the community and perpetrator as well as an educational process to heal the community. Marked by these characteristics, the imminent development of new government legislation about Indians poses new questions regarding the complicated relations between national government law and traditional Indian law.
12 Collective rights are rights where the right-holders are groups, not individuals, i.e., the rights of Indian peoples. 13 ECUADOR CONST. art. 84 § 7. Additionally, in May 15, 1998 Ecuador ratified Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization, which also recognizes these Indian collective rights. 14 See ILO Convention 169, art. 8, § 1-2.[t]he authorities of the indigenous peoples shall exercise functions of justice, applying their own norms and procedures for the resolution of internal conflicts in conformity with their customs or customary law, as long as these are not in conflict with the Constitution and the law. The law shall make these functions compatible with the national judicial system. Id. at art. 191.

Columbus County residents can now rest easy, knowing escaped inmate Archie Funderburk is back behind bars.
But some residents wonder why law enforcement didn't find him sooner, after all, he was captured only 300 yards away from their command post.
"Still to this day, I cannot figure out how they missed him, he was so close," said Sarah Cobb, a neighbor to the house where Funderburk was hiding behind.
Authorities found him in the woods just 300 yards away from the command post off bypass 701. According to Columbus County Chief Deputy Lewis Hatcher, the shed was checked with no sign of Funderburk. "At some point or another, the inmate had gone in, made a bed on the floor, and when the homeowner came down to check his property, he saw it and came down and alerted authorities."
Funderburk escaped Thursday from the medium custody highway squad. Department of Corrections says inmates have to be eligible for the program. They must be recommended by a superior and be physically capable of performing manual labor. They must have no history of violent behavior or escaping from supervision, and be within 36 months of parole.
Funderburk clearly fit all these descriptions, but still managed to escape.
Typically the highway squad has about eight inmates working at a time, and is typically under constant supervision by an armed officer.

Judge dismisses Armstrong lawsuit
PUBLISHED: 10 Jul 2012 07:49:00 | UPDATED: 11 Jul 2012 08:33:40PRINT EDITION: 10 Jul 2012Judge Sam Sparks said the move by the lawyers for Lance Armstrong, pictured, smacked of a public relations move. Photo: Reuters
A federal judge in the United States has dismissed a lawsuit filed on Monday by seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong against the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) but said he can refile it within 20 days.
District Judge Sam Sparks criticised Armstrong's lawyers for the 80-page filing in tossing it out, saying it smacked of a public relations move rather than a challenge to the body that imposes doping sanctions on US athletes.
But he also said he was not ruling on the merits of the lawsuit and the US cycling legend was welcome to once again present it.
Armstrong hoped to prevent USADA from pressing on with doping charges against him. Armstrong has until Saturday to challenge USADA's charges through a hearing with a three-member arbitration panel or accept sanctions.
Instead, Armstrong hoped to turn the entire system on its head, challenging USADA's jurisdiction in his case and the legitimacy of its rules.
Armstrong's legal move, coming in the US cycling legend's hometown, claimed USADA rules are a violation of his US constitutional right to a fair trial.
Armstrong, who has denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs, also claims that USADA chief executive Travis Tygart is pursuing a personal vendetta against him.
Armstrong, who won the Tour de France from 1999 through 2006 and has since retired from cycling, could be stripped of his Tour de France triumphs and banned from the sport for life if convicted.
"It is a testament to USADA's brazenness and callous disregard for its own mission that it seeks to strip Mr Armstrong of his life's work," Armstrong's attorneys said in the lawsuit.
"The process (USADA) seek to force upon Lance Armstrong is not a fair process and truth is not its goal."
Armstrong wanted Judge Sparks to issue an injunction banning USADA from pushing its case to an arbitration hearing, the next step in procedures that could lead to the case being settled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Armstrong's lawyers called USADA's hearing procedure a "kangaroo court" and said Armstrong would not be able to launch a proper defence against the charges under USADA rules and would face irreversible harm if USADA proceeds.
Tygart, in a statement, said Armstrong's lawsuit is part of a bid to hide the truth about his misdeeds.
"USADA was built by athletes on the principles of fairness and integrity," Tygart said.
"We are confident the courts will continue to uphold the established rules which provide full constitutional due process and are designed to protect the rights of clean athletes and the integrity of sport."
USADA charged Armstrong last month with being part of a doping conspiracy during his years as Tour de France champion, the move coming four months after a two-year US government probe into Armstrong ended with no charges made.
Armstrong claims to have taken more than 500 drug tests in his career without ever testing positive.
USADA claims to have nearly a dozen former Armstrong associates willing to testify against him and say they have blood samples from more recent events that indicate doping by Armstrong, who has never failed a doping test.
USADA has not made public the names of those witnesses, saying it wants to protect them from possible intimidation.
Armstrong says some witnesses are not credible, such as admitted dope cheat Floyd Landis, and others have grudges and already disproven claims against him.
The New York Times reported last week that former Armstrong teammates George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, Christian Vande Velde and David Zabriskie are among those set to testify against Armstrong. All four are in this year's Tour de France field.
Armstrong also argues that any such investigation should be pursued by the global sport governing body, the International Cycling Union, and not USADA.

Date Posted:10/09/2008, 9:00PM
The Bowdoin and Hamilton football teams will play for the 25th time in series history on Saturday, as the teams reach the midway point of the 2008 NESCAC football campaign. The Polar Bears (1-2) earned their first win of the season in a 28-26 triumph over Tufts last weekend, while Hamilton (1-2) put a scare into conference-leading Trinity before falling in the final minute, 20-15.
Streaming audio of Hamilton's radio broadcast will be available here: http://www.whcl.org/
Senior placekicker Nolan McNair has vaulted into the top spot in the Bowdoin record books, becoming the school's all-time leading scorer among kickers. McNair, who has 14 points on eight PAT's and two field goals this season, has 89 career points. In addition, the Oak Park, California, native leads the NESCAC in punting in his first full season at the position, averaging a conference-leading 37.8 yards per kick.
Quarterback Oliver Kell is second in the league in total offense, accounting for 265.3 yards per game and his 225.3 yards passing per game will test Hamilton, who enters the game ninth in the conference in passing defense. Bowdoin first-year tailback Ian Vieira has only 37 yards of total offense this year, but has had a nose for the endzone and ranks second in the NESCAC with four touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving). The Polar Bear offense has been the most officient in the league this season, standing third in scoring (26.7 points per game) while committing just three turnovers in three games.
Defensively, Bowdoin has been the most opportunistic unit in the league, collecting a NESCAC-high nine turnovers and earning a conference-best +6 margin overall. Kevin Zikaras leads the league with 17.3 tackles per game while Dominic Ridgard is second with 2.5 sacks. Tyler Tennant is second in the conference with two interceptions this year.
Hamilton ranks sixth in the league in total offense and is paced by running back Mark Snickenberger, who is fourth in the league with 233 yards rushing this year. A trio of quarterbacks have seen considerable action this year for the Continentals, with freshman Jordan Eck posting the most impressive numbers. Eck has thrown for four touchdowns and just one interception while the other Hamilton quarterbacks have thrown for one touchdown and six picks.
Hamilton's defense has also forced nine turnovers this year and is led by Trevor Pedrick's 8.7 tackles per game. As a unit, the Continentals rank fifth in total defense and have grabbed a league-high seven interceptions, led by Ted Finan and John Lawrence, who have two apiece.
Last season in Brunswick, Hamilton quarterback Dan Hood threw for a career-high 352 yards to lead the Continental football team to 23-17 victory. Hamilton racked up 473 yards of total offense on the day, including a game-high 79 yards rushing from Mark Snickenberger.Bowdoin was led by 193 yards passing and two rushing scores from Oliver Kell. Justin Starr collected six passes for 98 yards.
BOWDOIN vs. HAMILTON
The teams have played 24 times entering Saturday's game with Hamilton claiming four of the last five meetings. The Continentals own a 14-10 edge in the all-time series and Bowdoin has not won in Clinton since taking a 28-14 victory in October of 2002.

Ed's Thoughts on the Crumb/Mouly Event
- Posted by Ed Sizemore on November 2, 2009 at 6:23 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel News
by Ed Sizemore
On Tuesday night, I was giving the rare pleasure of seeing two underground comix luminaries sit down and talk for an hour. The University of Richmond's Modlin Center for the Arts hosted "Genesis: A Conversation with R. Crumb and Franciose Mouly" at the Richmond CenterStage Carpenter Theater.
The evening opened with a brief introduction to the two guests. Mouly founded Raw Books & Graphics in 1977. She is currently the art director for The New Yorker magazine and the editorial director of Toon Books. Crumb's first job as an illustrator was for American Greeting cards in 1962. In 1967, Crumb moved to San Francisco and founded the underground comix movement. In 1991, he moved to France, where he still lives today. The Virginia Commonwealth University library has an excellent resource page on Crumb.
The setup and format for the evening was very basic. Two chairs were placed at the center of the stage. Behind them was a large projection screen. The two guests talked for an hour with Mouly acting as interviewer/moderator. At the end of their conversation, they opened it up to audience questions for a half-hour. There was no photography allowed of Mouly or Crumb. Crumb didn't hold an autograph session, although Velocity Comics and Chop Suey Books had presigned copies of Crumb's Genesis book for sale in the lobby.
After a brief introduction, both Mouly & Crumb walked on stage. Crumb began the evening with a pratfall. It was clear from the start that Mouly was hoping for an hour of serious discussion exploring some of the themes in Crumb's work. Crumb, however, was in a more playful mood and wanted to crack jokes and keep it lighthearted. The most animated moments of the evening were when Crumb wasn't talking about himself but instead talking about his wife, reactions to his work, or criticizing corporate America.
The conversation started with Crumb talking about the 1994 documentary of his life, titled Crumb. It was clear that he was unhappy with the film, but unclear as to why. I wasn't sure if it was because he thought the film was biased in its presentation or because the film was too revealing. He said that he was glad that his family was living in France when the film was released in the US. He didn't think that his daughter, Sophie, would have been able to attend public school after the film's release. The film made him want to change his appearance and who he was.
Crumb's biggest concern in moving to France was losing touch with American culture, since his work is based on cultural observations. He would never presume to make comments on French culture since he didn't grow up in it and was still trying to understand it. He expanded on American culture during the audience Q&A section. The one thing that he despises is how corporations are really the driving force and shapers of US culture. There are layers and layers of chicanery and deception. We are so bombarded by PR that Americans don't even realize how ubiquitous it is.
Mouly mentioned that Crumb's wife, Aline, is an excellent artist in her own right. Crumb agreed and felt it was unfair that she had to compete against his fame/notoriety. Crumb met Aline in 1971 when she moved out to San Francisco to be part of the underground comix scene. She was the first women to do autobiographical underground comix. Currently, she is working on creating shrines. They showed pictures of her Barbie shrine and Virgin Mother shrine. A couple of times in the conversation Crumb mentioned how much they are still in love.
Next they focused on specific Crumb comix. Mouly commented on them and asked for his thoughts. One was "A Gurl" about a woman masturbating. She thought it showed a sensitivity toward women. Crumb was surprised since he said it all came out of his imagination. Next was a comix titled "Don't Touch Me". This was a multipage work that depicted a woman being raped. The first page is from the perspective of the woman. Mouly says that it's not what it appears at first. Crumb was happy she got it. He's frustrated that people just have a knee-jerk reaction without trying to understand the joke. Then he said that all women have rape fantasies. This was the only remark Crumb made that drew a negative reaction from Mouly and the audience. They quickly moved on.
Crumb's love of music and the portraits he's done of early blues and jazz musicians were briefly discussed. He said that music has a powerful effect on him and the portraits were a way of expressing appreciation to the musicians. Interestingly, he doesn't listen to music while he draws; he prefers it to be silent. Crumb said he can either draw comix or listen to music but can't do both. Also, he only listens to CDs if he can't get the 78. Crumb and his daughter, Sophie, have been members of various bands. Aline can play an instrument but doesn't share their passion.
The conversation then focused on Crumb's illustrated version of the book of Genesis. Originally, he had intended to do a satire of Adam and Eve. After studying the text, he decided to do a straightforward visual interpretation. Once he finished with the Adam and Eve story, he realized he felt compelled to do the entire book of Genesis. For visual reference, he visited the British Museum's collection of Sumer and Assyrian art but found there wasn't very much there. So he looked for other sources to help fill out the visual details. D.W. Griffith's 1916 film Intolerance turned out to be the most useful. All the sets and costumes were based on Assyrian bas-reliefs. Crumb used stills from the movie as visual reference. In order to complete the book, Aline rented a secluded cabin in the mountains for him to use as a studio. He was left alone during the week; she visited him, and brought provisions, on the weekends.
Mouly confessed Crumb's book was the first time she had actually read the book of Genesis. Crumb said he had heard that from many other people. He did a lot of research into the text while working on the illustrations. He was amazed to discover the amount of debate about the Biblical texts. Some word meanings have been lost to the ages, and scholars argue over how to translate them. Some words are ambiguous, and more than one meaning could be appropriate to the text. Sometimes the debate is how to best translate the text to communicate the original meaning to modern readers. He didn't realize how difficult it would be to illustrate Genesis when he started. Now that he is finished, he won't do any other Biblical books.
During the Q&A section, Crumb was asked about his first experience with LSD. He tried LSD back in June 1965, when it was still legal. It shattered reality for him. It shattered everything. He was so detached from reality that he threw up and didn't realize it at the time. The next day when he went to work, the world seemed hollow and like cardboard to him. Later in San Francisco, he smoked pot and did so for eight years. But his advice is to stay sober. Today's youth doesn't value their own native intelligence. They don't value their own natural ability for perception and awareness.
The evening ended with Mouy making the observation that Crumb's Genesis is a modern Rorschach test. Most discussion is really about the reader's reaction to his book and less about the book itself. Some find it too salacious, and others say it's not salacious enough. Then they got up and exited the stage. Crumb ended the evening the way he began it, with a pratfall.
I enjoyed the conversation. I do wish that Crumb had been a bit more serious and willing to engage Mouly in discussions about themes in his works and how he intended readers to react to certain comix. That being said it was a captivating and entertaining hour and a half. Like all truly good programs, it felt like the time flew by. Hopefully, they will tape one of the other evenings to allow more fans to experience this event. I'm sure no one left disappointed. (A free ticket to the event was provided by the Modlin Center.)

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The 2012 Toyota Venza has been recalled. To see if your model is included, visit Toyota's recalls page for more details.
The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling cars in the nation, and its performance makes it easy to see why. Being one of only a handful of V6 engines in the test, this sedan posted some of the highest Car and Driver performance scores. In our on road testing, however, we found the Camry ride to be a bit stiff with less-than-alert handling. The infotainment system comes with simple phone setup, yet the voice recognition and screen display left room for improvement. The rest of the interior is a positive point with plenty of legroom, shoulder, and headroom. Car seat installation proved easy and, when it comes to useful storage, the Camry is fantastic it offers one of the largest trunks in the bunch and an overall excellent design.

MESA, Ariz. -- Josh Hamilton doubled off the top wall, a call upheld by video review, and Raul Ibanez homered Tuesday as the Los Angeles Angels rallied for an 8-4 victory over a Chicago Cubs' split-squad.
Hamilton, who hit a career-worst .250 last season, is batting .417 in spring training.Hamilton's third-inning double was a few inches shy of becoming his second home run of the spring. The ball appeared to hit near the top of the center field fence and umpires used video to review the play. But the original ruling stood -- double.Cubs left fielder Junior Lake hit his fourth home run in three days, off Matt Shoemaker in the fifth inning.Mike Trout went 1 for 2 and Albert Pujols had a sacrifice fly.Los Angeles closer Ernesto Frieri worked a perfect 1-2-3 third inning. In eight innings pitched this spring, Frieri has yielded no runs and two hits.Cubs Park set a Cactus League single-game attendance record with 15,276 spectators.STARTING TIMEAngels: Brandon Lyon had his worst outing of the spring, allowing two earned runs on four hits in 1 1/3 innings. After working a 1-2-3 first inning, Lyon sputtered in the second. In seven previous spring appearances Lyon, a non-roster invitee battling to make the active roster, had given up two earned runs on five hits.Cubs: Tsuyoshi Wada, cut on Sunday and signed to a minor league contract on Monday, pitched four solid innings. He gave up two earned runs on four hits, while walking three and striking out four.TRAINER'S ROOMAngels: Reliever Sean Burnett, rehabbing from left forearm surgery in August, completed a bullpen session Tuesday, but Scioscia said the 31-year-old is not yet 100 percent."Don't think he got to be where he felt he was turning the ball loose like he needs to," he said."Burnett has not thrown a pitch during a Cactus League game this spring and will begin the season on the disabled list.Angels third baseman David Freese, penciled in as the cleanup hitter for Tuesday's game, was a late scratch because of stiffness in quadriceps. Manager Mike Scioscia said Freese could have played but the team was being extra cautious.Ian Stewart played in Freese's place and went 3 for 5, hitting a three-run home run in the ninth that sparked the Angels' rallyCubs: A sore left ankle scratched outfielder Justin Ruggiano from Tuesday's lineup. Ruggiano is batting .297 with two home runs in the spring.Cubs center field and top prospect Albert Almora made a nifty, sliding catch of Colin Cowgill's fly ball that ended the fourth inning. But Almora jammed his right leg into the wall and Lake signaled for trainers to attend to him. After staying down for a couple minutes, Almora walked off the field. The Cubs said he suffered a bruise to his knee.MCDONALD MAKES ANGELS ROSTERThe Angels added the contract of infielder John McDonald to the 40-man roster on Tuesday, ensuring that the 39-year-old will be on the Opening Day roster. McDonald, a 15-year veteran who signed a minor league contract in January, is batting .321 in spring training.UP NEXTAngels: Left-hander C.J. Wilson (1-2, 2.49 ERA) will make his sixth and final spring start Wednesday against Oakland.Cubs: Right-hander Jeff Samardzija (0-1, 5.50) will make his final Cactus League start Wednesday against Arizona before he takes the mound on opening day at Pittsburgh.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Don't shoot the messenger… Teachers are gearing up and students are squeezing every last second out of summer. This is a huge transition in a child's life. Think about all they have to adapt to… waking up at a different time, eating different food, sitting a lot more, having different schedules during the day, more sitting, often times poor posture, and the list goes on.
As we like to say in chiropractic, posture is our "window" into the spine. Unfortunately these days poor posture and spinal health is very prevalent, in large part thanks to the frequent appearance of cell phones, iPads, computers, and TV in our kids lives!
Poor posture affects far more however than just how we look, it absolutely can affect how a kid functions and feels. With kids we aren't worried so much about back and neck pain (although it certainly can occur), but if they have poor posture… that also means they don't have optimum function of the nervous system. This can lead to fatigue and low energy, poor mood and behavior, and trouble with focus and concentration.
Much of our practice is filled with families who have their kiddos under regular care not to treat a condition or problem, but to ensure optimal health and function of their nervous system, immune system, and more! These families often report the following "side effects" to regular adjustments for their kids:
- Improved sleep
- Improved immune function, less sick days
- Improved behavior and concentration
- Improved grades
That last paragraph is added in here to say nothing about us, but everything about how passionate we are now about not just helping kids who have readily apparent struggles and diagnoses, but also about helping kids who may just be running at 80% optimum function instead of 100%.
EVERY KID deserves to be at their best, and as parents isn't that what we really want for them too!?! Chiropractic is an absolute hidden advantage to healthy, happy, and high performance kiddos of all ages!
Serving Life Chiropractic, Healthy kids healthy family

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A man who attacked several employees at a Topeka television station has been sentenced to eight years and four months in prison.
Fifty-year-old Ray Anthony Miles was sentenced Wednesday for four felony battery charges and two misdemeanors after he attacked four employees of WIBW-TV last May.
Miles broke into the station and assaulted the employees because they refused to report on a problem he was having with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He stabbed, kicked, bit and punched the employees before they were able to subdue him.

The Neglected Art of Channel Palpation
by Tony Reid
The teaching and practice of Acupuncture has become increasingly 'herbalised' in recent times, (a description first used by Ted Kaptchuk in the mid 1980's) and as a consequence, this has encouraged an increasingly cerebral approach. It is not the intention of this article to entirely disparage this approach; in keeping with the heterogeneous nature of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) it is acknowledged that important insights into the practice of Acupuncture can be gained from it. However, to neglect the fundamental differences between traditional Chinese herbal medicine and Acupuncture would be to commit a serious error. Therefore I aim to demonstrate the historical precedents for a Channel based and palpatory approach to the practice of Acupuncture as well as to explore the contemporary literature dealing with it. Additionally, this article explores the implications for Chinese medicine education and research.

Airports in Cancun
Cancun International Airport (CUN)
Consistently rated among the most popular holiday destinations worldwide, Cancun draws millions of sun-worshipping holidaymakers to its sparkling beaches each year. The main gateway to this holiday paradise is Cancun International Airport, a large (and growing) facility that is currently Mexico's second-busiest airport.
Processing more than 12 million passengers each year, Cancun International Airport is nearly always packed with foreigners arriving and departing Mexico, and has good-quality services and amenities aimed at making the transition pleasant. Abundant shopping and dining opportunities, including famous franchise bars like Air Margaritaville and Corona Beach Bar, keep the festive atmosphere of Cancun alive even in the terminal.
Flights to Cancun are easy to find, especially in the peak summer months when many international airports add seasonal routes to their schedule; regular flights are available from major cities like New York, Paris, London, Lisbon, Santiago de Chile, Chicago, and Amsterdam.
The airport is situated nine miles (17km) southwest of the hotel and resort area in Cancun.
Getting to the city
Both taxis and colectivos can be used to get to the town. An official taxi company provides services from the airport and can be paid for at the airport just after the arrivals hall. US$14-20, the drive takes 20 to 25 mins. Colectivos are small buses that provide a door-to-door service; the driver will usually wait until it is full before leaving, US$6/30 mins. Taxis also go to Playa del Carmen 335 Pesos/US$30-35 and the trip takes approximately 1 hour.
GMT -6 (GMT -5 between the first Sunday in April and the second last Saturday in October).

the mass produced auto
the mass produced automobile, the greatest invention ever made for man? or the greatest evil ever unleashed on mankind? thoughts? the older i get the more i lean toward the latter.
Hello Bill_H :
Mass production of the automobile put the ownership of a car within reach of the middle class, and to some extent, lower class parts of our ecomonic society. The rapid development of the US from 1920 onward rode on the wheels of the auto and imporved roads. But, this forced other changes that may, or may not have been good for our society as a whole.
Without the private auto, we'd still be riding buses and trains. Personal travel for touring would have been lessened. However, passenger trains are few today, and so are buses. I'm undecided if the trade-off was a good one, however, I definitey like having a personal mode of travel since it permits me much enjoyment and convenience. For example, I am planning to go see my daughter for her birthday and she lives 3 states away. Other activities are planned for this trip as well. This would not be done without a car. My daughter's location is too remote for practical public transportation, and like in "the old days" when a trip was too great of an endevor, it was not done, and people made do with letters and phone calls. Without the car, family visits were rare unless they lived within a 100 mile distance. So, is the auto "good" or "bad"? It's mighty nice to have, although there is a price to pay in terms of energy, environment, and resources.
There is a downside as we get older. Some of the older population would use public transportation for personal trips if it were available, but it is not. It can not compete with the mass use of the car.
Unfortunately, the automobile has turned into more than transportation. It's now a status symbol, a business writeoff, self expression (not in itself a bad thing), and a reason to go in debt!
I'm the first to admit that I could not make it without my car. However, if there was convenient, economical mass transit available, I'd jump on it. So to speak.
Mass transit makes sense when conditions are really crowded(England, Japan) and where the system is designed around the mass transit, maybe this will be the future, deep future for us as well.
For today, and tomorrow , I'll take my ten year old Saab.
But I can see Bill's point - the traffic must slow down some, and the drivers must be more respectful and courteous..
the traffic must slow down some, and the drivers must be more respectful and courteous.
I just don't see that happening. Cars today are so much safer than cars of even a generation ago that today's higher speeds mean little in terms of injury. And people are increasingly conditioned to now -- microwave ovens, fast food, instant-cash machines, computers and the Internet, movies when you want to see them ... Darn few will willingly go back to slower. I see "respectful and courteous" in the same light -- the increasing coarseness of society shows up on the road, as well. I suspect the best answer lies in automating driving so that driver involvement is no longer necessary. Not that I want to see that day, but I know many others do.
But I have found the big rig drivers to be by far the most courteous, the ones who make others happy to be on the road.
Car drivers should emulate them...
As far as slowing down goes, if the government would first set up realistic laws ,then enforce them, the problem could be solved..
Several hundred $500 fines for tailgating in a short time in one county could make a lasting impression.
As far as slowing down goes, if the government would first set up realistic laws ,then enforce them, the problem could be solved.
"Realistic" is a slippery term here. There's an Interstate highway not far from my house. It was built in the last 20 years, to typical Interstate standards, so 60-80 mph is not unreasonable on this road -- except that, since it cuts through a city, the government decided to limit speeds (and the resulting noise) to 45 mph to keep the folks near the highway happy. It's a waste of a great piece of road. And 45 is almost totally unenforceable here.
Besides, as they're busy chipping away at the payroll at the police departments, I'd rather they spent their time on DWIs and accidents, not speeders.
Lewis Mumford, writing about urban design issues, had a lot to say about cars and the infrastructure they require, like superhighways and parking lots. This was back in the 1950's, and into the 60's, I think. His vision for healthy cities has not, in general, been realized here in the USA. Clearly, he was swimming against the current.

Cheer up Selena! The Disney princess was snapped looking really sad when leaving the recording studio on March 6. Was she singing a love song about Justin?
One day after Selena Gomez filmed her hot new music video in the Californian desert, she was snapped leaving a recording studio in Studio City looking so sad. Poor Selena! The Spring Breakers star was recording new music on March 6 for her upcoming album — was she singing a break up song about Justin Bieber?
Selena Gomez Recording New Songs About Justin Bieber?
Selena and her producers Rock Mafia have been working on this album for a while now, and it is set to be sizzling!
"Whose ready for an album? All the songs have been decided coming to you soon," tweeted Selena on Feb. 26. We are!
Selena's new album is set to be revealing, as Selena has said in interviews that is will reflect the place she is in her life, and about growing up. Will there be a Justin break up song? Well considering Selena's BFF is Taylor Swift, it looks likely!
To add more fuel to the fire, Selena's producer Rock Mafia tweeted about Sel's new song on March 6: "Mixing @selenagomez 's Love will Remember" , can't wait for you guys to hear it !!!!"
This album is so about Justin! Justin has been partying hard while in the UK on his Believe tour, and he has been linked to several girls while he has been there, which can't have been easy for Selena to see.
Let's hope Selena recorded an awesome T Swift style damning break up song!
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Will there be a Justin song on Selena's new album?

He may be a little messy right now but there's one thing Justin will always have over his ex and that's the ability to actually sing and entertain like a real pop star is supposed to. Singing at 2 decibels is clearly a piece of cake for him and he certainly doesn't sound like a whimpering dog if he wants to go any higher. Grown adults will never fall for her god awful imitation of pop music and children do eventually grow out of these things don't they. Oh yeah and TS already has pathetic ex girlfriend covered. Go get your own schtick Gomez. Do that or look forward to having no one to sing about at all.
1rst she wouldn't let Justin hang-out with Nick, now she's ignorring him. Just because his her ex. Thats just WRONG., You can't ignore them forever…
Live it up alredy., (I know this might sound mean, BUt i like it wen ur sad. Because you don't give a d**m abt Justin's feelings, so why should we.?)

hi selena how r u ? Hpe u r doin gud. Selena,i have a suggestion for u,girl if u really love JB,u should give him a chance to win u back. Both of u can't do without each other,why can't u guys come together to have a one and one heart talk? If u stil love JB let him no. Every relationship has its up and down,u have to let him know of ur feelings. I wish u best of luck to do what i recommended for u,i really want to see u both back together.

Some write in journals/diaries, others talk/gossip with family and friends and then there's writing a poem or a song. They are no different to Pink! No Doubt, Maroon 5, Katy Perry etc. Artistic expression can be shared and anyone going through a break up or moving on will relate to it. You cannot judge for there were mistakes made both sides!

If half of the gossip about how she feels about him is true, than he is better off without her and should forget her forever and date someone else. He may have been difficult at times but he treated her like a princess and has never said a bad word about her. I don't believe, however, these stories about her although she never tries to refute them. Why? Justin has spoken out against false gossip, why does she not do so?
I agree to the point that, after their post break-up, she's the one that was public telling everyone that they had a bad argument, and that she is "DONE", holding hands with another man, kissy faces with other men, and exchanging phone numbers. Now that Justin has been with other women, I don't see her acting out her fantasies of trying to date hot guys. His status of BF/GF is yet to be seen. He has not been seen kissing or holding hands with another woman!!!

Our Alumni
The lifelong value our alumni have found in their undergraduate educations also means that they actively seek out our new graduates. Our graduate placement rate, the percentage of our 2012 graduates who reported they were fully employed or attending graduate school full-time, was 94 percent. In the midst of an extended economic downturn, our recent graduates found success. This gives us great confidence for continued success when the national and international economy begins a more substantial recovery.
Perhaps the greatest conclusion that you should draw from the extent of our alumni involvement with current Butler students and recent graduates is this: they are giving their time and money back to the institution. Long after they spent their days on campus, they continue to believe it is worth their support.

Newlyweds LeBron James and Savannah Brinson were spotted taking in all of the tourist attractions at The Colosseum on Wednesday (September 18) in Rome, Italy.
"When u have someone that's always there for you no matter the ups and downs in life, it makes it all worth living for! So happy to call u Mrs. Savannah James #MyQueen#Backbone#QueenJames#Honeymoon," wrote the NBA MVP underneath a photo of the couple sharing a kiss over dinner on Instagram.
If I close my eyes and click my heels together three times will this turn into a post about Young Dro and Fantasia swapping spit over a chicken box?
Bron Bron married his high school sweetheart in style at the Grand Del Mar Hotel located in San Diego on Saturday. James, 28, popped the question to his longtime leading lady, 27, at a bash on New Year's Eve 2011, and later admitted on 'Oprah's Next Chapter'that he was nervous. "It felt like a finals game."
"When it happens, it happens," Brinson, who has two sons with James – LeBron Jr., 8, and Bryce, 5 – told Harper's Bazaar of marriage in 2010. "If we do it, I want it to be forever."
Check out an additional flick of Mr. And Mrs. James dining at Antica Pesa in the Trastevere neighborhood below.

Well quite simple really.
The hotter it gets the more turbulent it gets which results in wind and then when water is involved it's like the Boiling jug mor heat more turbulance equals more moisture and more compresion of everything equals wind and on it goes. If planet gets hotter still will be really hard to fly RC as she just gonna be more of the same. Although have been waiting for the day we can justafiably fly Cement Bricks with wild abandon can't be to far away now....... :d |

Becoming very used to flying in 8mph and up winds now, since it seems that's what we have day in and day out anymore. I've been doing this now for 3 years, but this has been the worst year for wind by far.
Love the days when wind is under 4mph since planes don't bounce around and look much more realistic. Could use a bunch more of 'em. |
Nov 18, 2012, 09:43 PM | |
We`ve had plenty of flying weather in N Texas this year, but here that means wind below 20 mph. Under 10 is considered calm.

Deffinitelly no global warming down here in OZ. Last year we had no summer at all, and this year it looks lot worse. Today it's more like mid winter then summer on its way. Cutting the field for 2 hours, nearly froze in 30+mph southerly today. Global warming? you must be kidding, it's going back to the ice age, J.

Tony, I'm not talking one month but at least last 3 years of this crap weather. Ask Tommo or Ken! I'm trying to fly your Ramtec off the beach with vid/cam to get some great footage, getting sand blasted instead most of the time going there. Only remembering days you went there and didn't feel like coming back, the good old calm days seem to be gone, J.

well, up in the great white north that is Canada, we had really no winter last year. we are closing in on the end of November and we've had all the signs that the weather will be more of the same this winter. last week it was 21 degrees C here, instead of the usual -21. LOL. the scientists have said it'll be an average of 4+ degrees warmer over the next 10 years. after saying that, I don't buy the global warming theory. the earth is in a natural warm up cycle before it goes into a cool down cycle. it's happened before and it'll happen again. I'm sure humans don't help matters much, but global warming is a get richer scam by the already filthy rich. just my 2 cents. LOL.
Nov 20, 2012, 08:12 AM | |
We always have windy springs here, but the last few summers have been above normal temps. Winters have been pretty mild also, very few days below -20° F. and less snow. Has really hurt the tourist industry! Even had to cancel the Beargrease sleddog race last year. (Not enough snow)
The lakes up north , Boundry Waters area and west of there have no ice yet. I live just outside the city limits of Duluth (over the hill) and our biggest weather changer is Lake Superior. It's amazing how much it affects the weather in MN, WI, and the UP of MI. |
Nov 20, 2012, 09:18 AM | |||
I remember, back in the late 60's/early 70's, They said we were heading for another ice age by the year 1980. The Earth is cooling, heating, for billions of years. It's a cycle. The Left wants to convince us that We are at fault, Then they can control us, "for our own good". Global climate change is a political religion. Those who believe it are either deceived, or, fully well know the truth and outcome of it's introduction and manipulation. Fuzz |

How do I authenticate with the CS SMTP mail server?
You will need to create a SMTP email password to authenticate with our SMTP mail server. This is not the same as your CS account password and must be set separately. You can do this online. The smtp authentication process is case sensitive for both the login name and the password.
- Server: mail.cs.utexas.edu
- Connection security: STARTTLS
- Authentication method: Encrypted
- Port: Default (or 587, see below)
If you are experiencing login failures, your ISP may be blocking/redirecting port 25/tcp, or your client (e.g. Outlook) may not be able to initiate a secure connection on port 25. In that case you can use port 587/tcp instead.
