"Asians have opportunities, not just the stereotypical doctor or engineer," says the retiring Kung Fu and American government teacher at Roosevelt High School. The only Chinese American who participated in hot rod racing in the 1970s and `80s, Young made a name for himself with his ability to win races. Sponsored for the past 30 years by the Bardahl Oil Corp. in Ballard, Young won the 1981 American Hot Rod Association World Championship, three NW Division championships with the National Hot Rod Association and every major drag racing event in the Northwest at least twice. This spring, he donated his 1970 Dodge Challenger RT race car to the Museum of History and Industry. --Chantal L.

Bringing cross-cultural communities together strengthens the journey. In the same way, the Multicultural Alumni Partnership works cross-culturally to advocate and promote diversity. MAP has connected me to Native communities and elders like the founding members, letoy Eike of OMA&D and the late Kenneth laFontaine. At the first Bridging the gap Breakfast in 1995, the late Willard Bill Sr. was honored as the first Native Distinguished Alumnus. Included among the many Native Distinguished Alumni are: artist Marvin Oliver; the late "Bernie" Whitebear; Tribal Chief "Ron" Allen; and Marilyn Bentz. Their histories and journeys opened the pathway for the current and future generations. Each year, MAP ensures that a deserving Native student is awarded a scholarship. Morris Richards was one of our first scholarship recipients and first Native scholar. We have had 11 Native scholarship recipients since 1997. MAP's Bridging the gap Breakfast 2008 will honor OMA&D staff who implemented quality programs that are culturally relevant. like Chief leschi School (see page 8) in this issue, OMA&D was created 40 years ago to help our multicultural students succeed. OMA&D opened the doors for many successful graduates of color. As MAP President, I hope to grow our connections across generations and communities. My current work with major MAP contributor Randy lewis (Native artist, framer, art gallery owner) deepens my appreciation for Native history and culture.

Tamayo, '96 MAP.President,.2008�10 I { } points of viEw ative Americans gathered for centuries on the land where the University of Washington now sits. On this land, they shared stories and cultural traditions and passed on knowledge to future generations. In recent years, the UW has taken steps to strengthen its relationship with local tribal nations. In 2007, the UW initiated an annual Tribal leadership Summit within the framework of the Washington State Centennial Accord. The Accord recognizes tribal sovereignty and calls for government-togovernment conversation around issues facing tribal nations. Among these issues are the need for increased recruitment, retention and academic success of Native students. Tribal and UW leaders believe that fulfilling a 30-year-old dream of constructing a longhouse-style facility on the UW campus could help address these concerns. The facility, with a preliminary name of UW House of Knowledge, would also contribute to strengthening indigenous research projects and economic development collaborations with tribal nations. A recent feasibility study resulted in an enthusiastic recommendation that the UW move forward with the project. The anticipated cost of $12 million to $15 million will require broad-based support from the UW, local Indian Tribes, corporations and foundations, and individual private gifts. The goal is to complete the building in several years. The UW House of Knowledge will provide a place of gathering and academic support for Native American and Alaska Native students and enrich the educational experience for all of our students. I believe it will also demonstrate our respect for indigenous people and their generations of history on this land. Sheila Edwards lange, Ph.D., '00, '06 Vice.President.for.Minority.Affairs..

At the time, the UW had the second-largest Japanese American student body in the nation, behind only the University of California-Berkeley. President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order on February 19, 1942 that sent 120,000 ethnic Japanese living in the U.S., many of whom were American citizens, to internment compounds. The UW presented honorary degrees to the surviving students and to the families of those students who were subjected to the grave injustice. The event, "The long Journey Home: Honoring UW Nikkei Students from 1941-42," drew 600 people and international media attention. Norman Mineta, former Secretary of Transportation who himself was incarcerated at the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming, was the guest speaker. Numerous University and community groups worked together to make this event happen. "It's never too late," Mineta told the crowd, "to do the right thing."

DORSEY TO HEAD STATE'S MESA PROgRAM James Dorsey has been named executive director of Washington's Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) program, which encourages underrepresented groups in Washington state to pursue science and technology careers. Dorsey, who had been director of national program development for the MESA program in California, is heading up a program that serves 5,000 K-12 students, offering hands-on math and science classes, college-readiness workshops, scholarships, college visits, internships and summer programs. The Washington MESA program--which is housed in the UW's College of Engineering-- started in 1982 at four Seattle high schools. It later grew to 92 elementary schools, middle schools and tribal schools all over Washington. Students who participate in MESA are five times more likely to pursue college degrees in math and science. "We know they're interested in math and science, we know they can do it, but we lose them at this crucial step, "Dorsey said. "It's an essential step to make this investment." viewpoInTs Photo by Karen Orders Focus on: native ameriCan issues Playing big roles in the House of Knowledge project are (from left) Julian Argel, '84, '90; Denny Hurtado, chair of the UW Native American Advisory Board; UW faculty member Charlotte Cot�; and W.

The House of Knowledge, a longhouse-style building reminiscent of the traditional dwelling and ceremonial structure of the coastal tribes, will be a gathering place offering hospitality and warmth to Native American students and people of all cultures.

"It will create a place for students just to be who they are on campus. It will take us out of the minority context and put us in a space that's more comfortable," says Pastores, a member of the Upper Skagit tribal community, who graduated in June. The House of Knowledge will also be a place for meetings and special events. The structure is set to rise on the UW Seattle campus in several years, the culmination of a 30-year dream of faculty, staff, students and Native leaders. The UW House of Knowledge won't be the first such facility to be erected on land near lake Washington. leonard Forsman, '78, an anthropologist who is chairman of the Suquamish Tribe, notes that there were winter houses and American Indian villages dotted throughout the region in places 6 Focus on: native ameriCan issues now known as Bryn Mawr (south of lake Washington), green lake, Ravenna Park, the land Qwest Field occupies, and many other locations. Of the UW longhouse that is planned, Forsman says, "The presence of the lake People will finally be acknowledged." Forsman noted that the campus bears many Indian street names but until now, there has been no place to signify the American Indian presence. The building will be about 21,000 square feet, and will achieve a lEED standard in "green" building that respects the land on which it is built consistent with Native American values. (lEED is leadership in Energy and Environmental Design; it's a green building system that adopts sustainable building practices.) The UW project, which is budgeted at $12 million to $15 million, already has the support of many of the 34 tribes and tribal organizations in and around Washington State. Those working on the effort are in the process of identifying potential financial backers. The project will be built in what is parking lot N6 near McMahon Hall. The willingness finally to build a longhouse-style building reflects a renewed commitment on the part of the UW to acknowledge, support and reach out to The 2008 Tribal Leadership Summit held April 11 drew senior leaders from the UW and tribal governments. { in Seattle, the Northwest and at the University of Washington," says Tom Colonnese, director of the UW's American Indian Studies program and a member of the Dakota tribe. Another sign of the UW's commitment to Native students and communities was a Tribal leaders Summit held in spring of 2007 at the urging of UW President Mark Emmert. Cot� and other "it will be a magnet for cross-cultural experiences and a recognition of the unique status of tribes in our community." Native American or American Indian students and their communities. "I really see this as a positive move by the UW in creating a strong Native American presence on campus," says Charlotte Cot�, assistant professor of American Indian Studies and chairperson of the House of Knowledge Project Advisory Committee (HOKPAC). Cot�, who comes from the Nuu-chahnulth Nation on the west coast of Vancouver Island, also cites the new Bachelor of Arts major in American Indian Studies the UW has in place this fall. "It is very important to American Indian Studies in that it reinforces that the whole University is on native land and it honors the native presence HOKPAC members credit Emmert with making the House of Knowledge a top UW priority and for ensuring that the facility is on the UW's capital projects list. "Nothing beats having the University president on your side," observes James Nason, '67, '70, professor emeritus and Comanche tribe member who is the founder of the UW's American Indian Studies Program. The presence of a longhouse-style facility is important to all of its stakeholders for a variety of reasons. One of the most important is the recruitment and retention of Native American students. Denny Hurtado, a member of the Skokomish tribe and chair of the UW Native American Advisory Board, explained how the House of Knowledge will help. } "When our students go away from their tribal communities, they come to a big campus in the middle of a big city. They don't have a place that's just for them to congregate. The culture is alienating and they are likely to drop out and leave," he says. Currently, only 1.3 percent of the UW's undergraduates are Native American, a percentage that has remained almost unchanged since 1999. In addition, the Native American six-year graduation rate is 54 percent. The UW intends to change this picture and recruit and retain more Native American faculty and staff. The House of Knowledge will provide a place for tribal members to interact with the University community and the public. "It will be a magnet for cross-cultural experiences and a recognition of the unique status of tribes in our community," says Ron Allen, '83, chairperson of the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe on the Olympic Peninsula. Julian Argel, assistant to the Vice President for the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity, and a member of the Tsimshian/Haida tribe, sums up the significance of the project: "The House of Knowledge has the potential to be the hub of a very great wheel and a place of great welcome." Julie Garner's last story for Viewpoints was on the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity. viewpoInTs 7 Focus on: native ameriCan issues Radical steps turn failing school into a leader UW Tacoma alumni rescue Chief leschi School with new curriculum, commitment BY Jill CArNEll DANSECO A decade ago, Chief leschi School in Puyallup was dominated by gangs, violence and poor grades. Today it's an example of how to turn a failing school around. Chief leschi is now a model for Native American educational institutions nationwide, with higher-than-average test scores, safe hallways and an education rich in cultural experiences. It took years of hard work by a dedicated team of teachers and administrators--with UW Tacoma alumni Jennifer Pierce, '05, and lucy Dafoe, '03, at the center of the recent effort. "This is a completely different place--it's like night and day," says Middle/High School Assistant Principal Pierce. "Our kids are actually coming to school and succeeding." The tribal K-12 school was established in 1976 by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians to address the high dropout rate of Native American youth. By 1983, though, enrollment had dropped to only 99 students and the state threatened to close Chief leschi's doors. Administrators and tribal leaders began an ambitious effort to keep their school open and convinced the Bureau of Indian Affairs to let them try. But even a beautiful new campus, opened in 1996, and a series of reform efforts couldn't raise grades. When Pierce was hired as an elementary literacy specialist in 2001, Chief leschi students were failing the Washington Assessment of Student learning in droves. Students and teachers alike lived in fear of gangs and violence in the middle- and high-school building. "I was afraid to walk down the hallway, there was so much gang activity," Pierce says. "The students owned the school." Frantic once again to change their image and save their school, administrators began to take a good, hard look at curriculum and behavior, and started an ambitious--and sometimes controversial--overhaul of the way things were done. Dafoe, the secondary school UW Tacoma graduate Lucy Dafoe, '03, helped turn Chief Leschi around.

To provide structure that had been lacking, they implemented a new curriculum with strict guidelines and scripts for teachers to use in class. The controversial curriculum, called Direct Instruction, worked at Chief leschi, providing students with consistent, high-quality instruction in every class and requiring that students master skills rather than just absorb information. "We had to take some radical steps, and I think we were ahead of the curve," Dafoe says. "It was tough, but it's what our kids needed." Through the consistent curriculum and constant monitoring, test scores at Chief leschi rose dramatically. In the WASl results released in late May of this year, 91 percent of Chief leschi students passed their reading and writing test, compared to about 86 percent statewide. And unlike her predecessors, Dafoe stuck around, providing much-needed stability for the students and staff. "In the past, they'd had a new principal every year, with new expectations," she says. "Stabilizing the staff and administration meant we didn't have to start over every fall." In addition, the school tackled behavior and discipline issues. "The environment was definitely loose," Dafoe says. "Our teachers were doing the best they could with what they had, but it was a little chaotic." Just like with the curriculum, the staff established firm new rules and rewards for good behavior. The process of change took years, and the results are finally noticeable. "Our kids are learning, and it's wonderful to see," Pierce says. Both women credit their education at UW Tacoma for giving them the tools to enact change. "What I learned at UWT was based on research and the best practices for educational reform," Pierce says. "We wanted to be sure that we were doing the best thing for these kids, and I knew that I could count on UWT for that." Jill Carnell Danseco is a public information specialist at UW Tacoma. BioEnergy's Big Picture BY JUliE h. CASE Take five engineering students, three forestry students and the Yakama nation, put them all together and what do you get? Hopefully, someday, energy solutions. The University of Washington's new Integrative graduate Education and Research (IgERT) BioEnergy program is bringing together Ph.D. students from engineering and the College of Forest Resources to explore issues such as how waste from forestry can be transformed into plant-based fuels. The goal of the UW's bioenergy IgERT, which comes with a $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation, is less about creating the next biofuel and more about developing a human resource. "graduates in the energy industry need to understand how their Ph.D. research fits into the broader energy landscape," says Daniel T. Schwartz, professor of chemical engineering and head of the program. One proposal for a first project, which will launch in winter of 2009, is to have students analyze the benefits and impacts of harvesting forestry debris for energy. For example, the IgERT team might investigate how small-diameter waste wood--the debris of tree limbs leftover after harvesting a forest for timber--can be used to create an energy source for, say, the Yakama Nation. Such a project would intersect the health of the forest, help address a concern of the community, and have an energy aspect to it. The team of students might develop a system for removing hardwood waste from the forest floor, and a device to turn the debris into an energy source--such as heating pellets, or a product that could supplant coal for electrical plants. Removing debris from the forest floor would affect the health of the forest by reducing the risk of forest fires; and using the wood--a renewable resource--might result in reduced CO2 emissions. All while providing an energy source for a Native community. Working with Washington tribes has multifaceted opportunities. Nations such as the Yakama or Colville offer a microcosm of a larger nation. They're governed by their own laws and have their own energy needs and economic objectives. They're also typically resource rich and known for sustainable use of environmental resources. Schwartz hopes the projects will lead to more Native students entering science and engineering programs at the UW. In the past five years, only 10 Ph.D.s in science and engineering in the nation have been awarded to Native American students. Says Schwartz: "We'd like to produce at least 10 percent of the nation's advanced degree, Ph.D.-level Native American students." Julie H.

"My graphic design career started and ended with architecture," luly recalls, "beginning with the intense gothic design of UW campus buildings. They were inspirational to a student of graphic art, but structural design also influences my work in fashion today." luly's success in the competitive world of fashion has been driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and head for business. luly Yang Couture's 2007 revenues topped the $2 million mark, and she expects her custom design business and threeyear-old Seattle boutique at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel to grow another 30 percent this year.

A subject close to his heart, this paradox has been the focus of lauro Flores' research for decades. A noted author and expert in Chicano literature, Flores was recently honored with a lifetime Achievement Award in Chicano literature at the Tom�s Rivera Conference at UC Riverside. "In the old cowboy movies you always find banditos, and that transfers to commercial ads like the Frito Bandito," Flores says. "Then in the 50s, there was the image of the latin lover. For women, it's the vamp. "But those are types," he counters. "We've been cast in different types and I study how Chicanos are trying to present a different image through their writing. They say `This is me. This is my family, my ancestors. We are dignified individuals.' Then it continues and goes on to take different modes." A 27-year veteran of the UW, Flores is a professor of Chicano and latin American literatures and chairs the Department of American Ethnic Studies, a department he helped create more than 20 years ago. He calls teaching his "salvation" and says contact with students is essential because it "keeps you in touch with reality." Born in Mexico in 1950, Flores moved to San Diego as a teenager and was part of the Chicano movement of the late 1960s. He remembers participating in a student walk-out in high school and says those experiences helped shape his view of teaching. "I think that it is part of the University's responsibility to prepare students to deal with issues of diversity," Flores says. "Once students graduate from here and they go and become professionals, Participating in a student protest in high school helped shape Professor Lauro Flores' view of teaching. Photo by Mary Levin. whether we like it or not they will have to deal with diversity in the aspects of their jobs." Flores says diversifying the faculty is an important part of that process but feels the UW is behind in that regard. He says it's difficult to attract minority candidates and even more of a challenge to keep them here. "We try to make it so that when candidates come to campus they interview or visit with other minority people so that they have a sense of community," Flores says. "But in some instances you recruit one single minority person and you put them in a department and they feel alienated, they feel marginalized, and they eventually leave." As a teacher, author, administrator and role model, Flores is working to change those feelings-- one class, one colleague, one student at a time. "It is our responsibility as faculty to expose the students to these issues and to train them in what it means to all of us, because we're all in this together," Flores says. "The United States is a nation of immigrants and people sometimes forget that." Derek Belt is a Viewpoints staff writer. AT A glANCE Lauro Flores Professor Lauro Flores flirted with the idea of becoming a lawyer but he loved literature. Today, he's one of the UW's most respected minority scholars. Here's a quick look at some of Flores' career accomplishments: � 2007 Distinguished Teaching Award winner. � His book, "The Floating Borderlands: Twenty-Five Years of U.S. Hispanic Literature" (UW Press, 1999), won a 1999 American Book Award. � His book, "Alfredo Arregu�n: Patterns of Dreams and Nature," a bilingual volume (UW Press, 2002), was selected for the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize Notable Books Reading List in 2002. viewpoInTs 1 spotlight: seattLe education access Options program after having dropped out of school by 8th grade due to an unstable home life. The director of the program "hooked me up with Polly," says Bennett, "and they (SEA) were crucial and influential in the process of transferring me to UW." Heather Rastovac, `08, who had been homeless for seven years, says Trout played a key role in her path from the streets to South Seattle Community College, and then to the UW. Says Rastovac: "[Polly] played all roles. She helped me review my papers, talked me out of a negative way of thinking and gave me practical support. She was always available." Today, Rastovac, a Near Eastern languages major with minors in dance and anthropology, has been accepted to graduate school. Kyle Rapinan hopes to follow in the same footsteps. A homeless high school senior who has been "couch-surfing" for three years, Rapinan credits SEA for helping him receive a dependency waiver from his single mother so he could apply to college without her personal information or tax documents. "I have a 20-year-old sister and she never received financial aid because my mother wouldn't release any of her information for my sister's application," Rapinan explains. Even though he is a runaway, "I have a good academic record. And I've been able to stay in the same high school all four years." With its impressive track record, it's easy to see why Seattle Education Access is no longer a tiny U-District operation. It has grown from serving four students in 2001 to almost 200 today. Bennett thinks he knows why. "You think it's too good to be true," he says. "But it's not. I am living testimony of the success of its success." Courtney Acitelli is a Viewpoints staff writer. She is also the assistant director of student and alumni programs at the UW Alumni Association.

Photo by Mary Levin. With agency's help, UW students rise to the top BY COUrTNEY ACiTElli The incoming UW student body president, who stopped attending school after 7th grade, might never have made it to the UW. An honors student whose work was featured in the prestigious undergraduate research symposium was also an unlikely candidate for college after seven years on the streets. An undocumented worker from Michoac�n, Mexico didn't imagine he would be taking graduate classes at UW. And the 17-yearold gay student who has been living as a runaway for three years is looking forward to being a Husky just like any other freshman. The University of Washington is known for its academic rigor, but not always for its accessibility. How did these students overcome such odds to join the ranks of the privileged? Enter Seattle Education Access (SEA), one of eight organizations in the University District Service Providers Alliance and the only one that deals 14 viewpoInTs exclusively with marginalized youth who aspire to gain admittance to college. SEA offers assistance on just about every aspect of pre-college and college life--filling out applications, navigating complex financial aid forms, providing tutoring and even helping with scholarships for books and tuition. Students refer to Polly Trout, SEA's founder and outgoing executive director, and Anthon Smith, its incoming executive director, as "Polly" and "Anthon"--like old friends. "Anthon just said, `Yes, we can do it. We can help you," remembers gerardo*, an undocumented immigrant with a 3.7 undergraduate gPA who is currently working two jobs while applying for graduate school at the UW. "They helped without restraint," he says of SEA. "There were no barriers."

M Law (Solicitor) - The UK's first fully qualifying law degree
Northumbria Law School is pleased to announce that it has been approved by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to deliver a pilot academic programme where students can graduate as fully qualified solicitors.
This groundbreaking programme enables students to combine traditional study with skills development, clinical legal education and placement in practice in order to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities required to work as a solicitor.
The programme is an Integrated Masters Degree incorporating the Qualifying Law Degree. Graduates are exempt from the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and complete their Work Based Learning (equivalent to the Training Contract) during the course of their studies. Upon completion of the programme, graduates will have completed all of their work based learning and will be able to apply to the SRA for enrolment as a solicitor.
The full-time, five year degree has been developed in consultation with the legal profession and is intended to meet the training needs of future lawyers, as well as business needs of legal firms across England and Wales. It is designed to open up access to the legal profession, while preserving the rigour of the training experience.
Advantages for firms
- Flexibility - over timing and duration of placement
- Efficiency - the University is responsible for reviewing and assessing the work based learning. The SRA minimum salary regulations are not applicable.
- Highly skilled fee earners - students entering the placements come with existing professional experience and responsibility. They have developed legal skills competencies and professional awareness throughout their studies and particularly in the Student Law Office.
- Working in partnership with a leading Law School - Northumbria University Law School has a reputation for excellence and innovation in legal education.
- Input into the knowledge and skills development of student trainees - firms offering full placements will be consulted about student trainee's education.
- Staff development - provides non-solicitor fee earner route to qualification.
- Niche/Specialist firms - no requirement for full training infrastructure and minimum three "seats". Specialist placements may be combined in different organisations enabling achievement of the work based learning outcomes.
- Ongoing support and resources - student trainees continue to have access to excellent university facilities (including databases) throughout the placement.
- Innovative - the firm participates in a unique programme that for the first time combines the academic and training stages of qualification as a solicitor.
- Rigorous - the training experience is incorporated into a rigorous academic framework ensuring clear planning and measurable outcomes.
- Accredited - the programme is fully approved and supported by the SRA as a pilot alternative to the training contract.
The key to the Law School's ability to offer this programme is the award winning Student Law Office. This pro bono community legal service has 18 qualified practitioner supervisors and c.180 enthusiastic and talented student representatives. They offer a full legal service for clients from first interview through to settlement or court hearing.

The success of women worldwide rests in holding political offices
Tuesday - 7/22/2014, 6:10pm EDT
"The place where the most work needs to be done to ensure women are at parity is in the political realm," says Stephenie Foster, senior advisor in the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues at the State Department. "Globally, only about 21 percent of parliamentarians are women."
(Photo Credit: Gigi Schumm)
Foster sat down with Women of Washington radio hosts Aileen Black and Gigi Schumm to discuss women's issues, both at home and abroad.
Foster says most obstacles to women's success are universal. "At the root, most of the problems that women face around the world come from very similar causes, which are societies where women are not fully valued as much as men."
Gender policy — looking at how a situation differentially affects women — is an important part of the State Department's work. "In order to have really smart foreign and domestic policy, it's important to ask that question, so that we don't make assumptions about what everyone needs by only talking to some of the population," Foster said.
Also in this episode, Foster reflects on how much has changed for women in politics since Madeline Albright served as Secretary of State. She also gives her take on how Americans can help educate women in the developing world, and talks about how the State Department's internal and external gender policies work together.

The 7 Types of Cats You'd See at Burning Man
Oh, come on now, don't act like you've never heard of Burning Man.
I'm pretty sure that about 40 percent of San Francisco's population comprises "burners" -- folks who make the annual voyage out to Black Rock Desert in Nevada for a week-long gonzo music and art festival called Burning Man. Not quite a rave and not quite the set of Mad Max, Burning Man is pretty serious business to some not-so-serious people (who are often businessmen when they aren't half naked).
Which is to say it was pretty quiet here in San Francisco last week while everyone was out there. Which got me thinking: What if cats went to Burning Man? Or had their own Burning Man? These are the seven different characters I imagined you'd encounter:
1. The young newbie who goes wild with the catnip
It's usually this kitten's very first trip to the Playa (as they call it) -- in more ways than one. Usually the hardest drug she's ever done is that one time she nibbled on some cat grass (whoa!) and that other time he sat on his human's lap watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. His friends smirk when he asks for a hit, but even a threshold amount is too much.
2. The old hippie who goes wild with the catnip
It's usually this cat's ninth trip to the Playa -- in more ways than one. You'll usually find him sitting next to the newbie, watching some sort of light show and muttering, "They sure make this stuff stronger than they did in my time."
3. The career burner
When this cat is not at Burning Man, he's either decompressing from Burning Man or recompressing (I made that up) from Burning Man, and the only thing he talks about is how he can't wait to "get home to the Playa" (where he carries out a sordid affair with a ferret, Romeo and Juliet style).
4. The raver transferred to the desert
These cats are totally bummed when the batteries run out in their laser pointers.
5. Frat cats just looking for a pussy … cat
Being able to crush a beer can with your forehead is not impressive -- it just means you have a thick skull.
6. The nudist
The nudist is barely five milliseconds onto the Playa and he's already stripped down to his face paint.
7. The cat who mistakes the Playa for an oversized litter box
This cat is not tripping -- he is just lost. Please contact a ranger if you see this cat.

FinCEN asserted based in part on information obtained from an undercover investigation that the employee helped high-end gamblers avoid detection of large cash transactions by agreeing not to file either Currency Transaction Reports or Suspicious Activity Reports as required under the BSA. FinCEN ordered the employee to pay a $5,000 civil money penalty, and immediately and permanently barred him from participating in the conduct of the affairs of any financial institution located in the U.S. or that does business within the U.S.

by James Slater - Yesterday, in Montreal, Canada, thousands of mourners came out to pay their respects to the great Arturo Gatti, who shockingly died at the young age of 37 last Saturday in Brazil. Today, friends and family of the warrior known as "Thunder" gathered and also paid their respects.
Those people who were close to Arturo also refused to accept the latest released news that suggest Gatti may have committed suicide. Police have accused Gatti's wife, Amanda Rodrigues, of strangling her husband, but formal charges have yet to be made.
Two people who say there is no way Gatti would ever have committed suicide are his brother-in-law, Rocco Crispoe, who asked, "Why would he want to commit suicide? Multimillionaire, have everything to live for, nephews, brothers, sisters, just retired," Crispoe is quoted as saying by CBC News..
Trainer Howard Grant also refuses to accept that Gatti took his own life: "The only place Arturo would like to die was in the boxing ring," Grant said.
One man who perhaps knew Gatti better than anyone on a professional level is his former trainer, James "Buddy" McGirt. Grieving along with others close to the legendary fighter, McGirt kindly took time out to speak with this writer recently, whereupon he spoke about the fighter he worked with from 2001 until 2006.
"Arturo was the best, that's all I can say," McGirt told me over the phone last week in a clearly upset voice. "He was all heart and he was in a class all by himself."
I asked Buddy when he had last spoken with Gatti.
"I haven't spoken to him properly since the [Carlos] Baldomir fight. Whenever we did see each other we would speak. We remained friends after we stopped working together (after the loss to the Argentine). He was being trained by Micky Ward and I would go down to check on him to see how he was doing from time to time."
I also asked Buddy if there was one fight in particular of Gatti's he was most proud of during their time together.
"All I can tell you, man, is all of them (sounding as though he was choking back tears). Every day with him was a great day, a special day - because you never knew what to expect (laughs). I'll miss him. I love him."
Should Gatti be elected into the Hall of Fame one day?
"Most definitely. Not just because of this sad time, but definitely, in spite of everything."
Buddy was upset, but he kindly answered my final question - had he one special memory of his fighter that sprung to mind?
"I had a dance step I always tried to teach him, and he could never quite get it. One day in the gym, I watched him and he never knew I was watching him, and he was trying to get this dance step right. Then he saw me looking at him and we both just laughed out loud. He was the best I ever worked with. It was a real and genuine pleasure working with Arturo Gatti. There will never be another fighter or man like him."
Amen to that.

Très bon accueil.
Fri 02 May 2014
A pleasant stay at this simple hostel, which was a good place to meet people and a safe bed for the night. Staff were friendly and check-in / check-out was efficient. It's due for more than a coat of paint though and our room could have benefitted from a deep clean.

With former Callaway Cavalier Jamal Bruce providing a helping hand, Duke isn't just a basketball school any more.
The 2013 football season was one of the best in the history of the Duke football program, and Bruce did his part.
Bruce started every game at nose guard, and he helped the Blue Devils make it to the ACC championship game where they lost to eventual national champion Florida State.
The Blue Devils went 10-4, and even though they lost their final two games to Florida State and to Texas A&M in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, they set a school record for wins.
Duke built off of its 2012 season where it won six games and made it to a bowl game for the first time since 1994,
"Everybody around here is happy with what we did the last two years, and everybody is excited about this year coming up," Bruce said on Wednesday from Durham, N.C., where he's participating in the off-season conditioning program. "Our goal is to go 12-0."
Bruce arrived at Duke in 2010 after a standout high-school career.
During his four years at Callaway, the team had a pair of 10-wins seasons, and it was in the state playoffs four times, including one trip to the quarterfinals.
Bruce was red-shirted in 2010, and in 2011, he played in all 12 games.
Bruce was slated to be a starter in 2012, but he missed the first six games while recovering from offseason foot surgery.
Bruce played in the final seven games, and he got the starting nod for the Belk Bowl against Cincinnati.
Bruce entered the 2013 season healthy and solidified as a starter, and he went out and had a big year.
While he was only 11th on the team with 33 tackles, he plays a position that doesn't lend itself to big tackle totals.
Bruce said he has gotten more comfortable each season, and he's grateful for all of the help he has received.
"My teammates have helped," Bruce said. "And also, we have coaches that really believe in the system we have, and the players that they have."
Bruce's first two seasons in Durham didn't yield much in the way of team success, with the Blue Devils going 3-9 in 2010 and 2011.
Things began to turn in 2012 under head coach David Cutcliffe, with the Blue Devils winning the most games since they went 8-4 in 1994.
Still, the Blue Devils finished with their 18th consecutive losing season.
Then came the 2013 explosion.
The Blue Devils were 2-2 after back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech, but they followed that up with an eight-game winning streak.
After the loss to Florida State in the ACC title game, Duke was up big at halftime against Texas A&M, but with Johnny Manziel leading the way, the Aggies rallied for a 52-48 win.
Bruce said the excitement level as a new season approaches is as high as he has seen it during his time at Duke.
Bruce said there is even talk of having students camp out the nights before game, much like they do before some of the biggest basketball games.
"They experimented with it in the spring, it's called Cut-ville," Bruce said. "They're trying to get it similar to (Krzyzewskiville) with the basketball team. It's exciting to see stuff like that."
Bruce said his experiences at Duke, both in football and beyond, have been everything he hoped for.
"It seems like every day, and every game, and every week is something new," Bruce said. "It's been different experiences. I'm always meeting someone. I'm having fun up here."
Bruce has also applied himself in the classroom, and earlier this month, he received a bachelor's degree.
Members of his family were there for the ceremony, as was Callaway football coach Pete Wiggins and his wife Amy.
"It was really a blessing," Bruce said. "One of the goals I had when I first came was to get a degree."
At the moment, Bruce's main emphasis is on being in the best possible condition heading into the season.
Many of the Blue Devils are participating in a summer conditioning program that is run by the players.
"Right now, we lift Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then on Tuesday and Thursday we condition," Bruce said. "We can't meet with any coaches, so we've been running it ourselves, the players had. Older guys at each position group have been running it. That's going pretty good."
Duke opens its season on Aug. 30 against Elon.

eCoupled Shows Off Future Of Wireless Power
Nikola Tesla would be happy with the demonstration of wireless power eCoupled put on during the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Michigan-based eCoupled showed off a new revolution of technology that has the potential to power devices like iPhones to electric-vehicles.
"Wireless power is a lifestyle technology," the company said in a statement. "Like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, it radically changes the way people are able to live their lives, offering new levels of mobility, convenience and safety."
eCoupled intelligent wireless power is able to help devices shed the use of cords to charge a device. During CES, the company showed off how product packaging can use this technology to allow real-time communication from the package to the store shelf.
eCoupled displayed a General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios cereal box with its intelligent wireless power printed onto the actual packaging. The cereal box's letters lit up like Las Vegas lights, which could help it stand out amongst other products.
This technology can also offer other low-cost applications.
"Wireless power integrated into smart packaging also works on the homefront, telling you how much food is on hand, nutritional information, and expiration dates — all from a home inventory screen or smart phone," eCoupled said.
The company's printed coil technology allows users to control cooking temperatures from the package. A user could use place a can of soup on an eCoupled-enabled surface and it will heat up to the packages selected temperature.
eCoupled's display at CES showed off the future of wireless power and what is to come of how we will embrace it.

Harris Corporation Receives $12 Million Order from U.S. Marine Corps for Upgrades to Falcon III(R) AN/VRC-110 Multiband Vehicular Radios
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has received a $12 million order from the U.S. Marine Corps for upgrades to Falcon III AN/VRC-110 multiband, multimode vehicular tactical radio systems.
Harris will provide upgrade kits to the Marines to convert existing 20-watt AN/VRC-110 systems to 50-watt systems. This enhancement will allow users to establish voice and data links over wider distances and improve the reliability of secure tactical communications over rough terrain.
"Marines engage insurgents using smaller teams patrolling wider areas of operation — and tactical ground radios form a vital link between forward deployed units and commanders," said Steve Marschilok, president, Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. "The upgrades will extend the combat-proven communications capabilities of the AN/VRC-110 system to ensure Marines are able to get mission-relevant information when and where they need it."
The AN/VRC-110 is a fully integrated, high-performance multiband vehicular radio system, consisting of an amplifier adapter and two JTRS-approved Falcon III® AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld radios, which serve as handheld transceivers. The AN/VRC-110 enables warfighters to maintain communications in dismount operations by allowing the AN/PRC-152(C) handheld radios to be quickly removed while remaining powered on. The system's "jerk-and-run" capabilities in combination with its reliable long-range performance have proven the AN/VRC-110 highly-valuable to end users in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The combat-proven AN/PRC-152(C) is the most widely fielded JTRS-approved handheld radio with more than 100,000 units deployed. It provides advanced capabilities such as SINCGARS interoperability, ultra high-frequency (UHF) ground-to-ground line-of-sight communications, close-air support and programmable encryption. The AN/PRC-152 radio has an optional "high-band" capability that provides an increased frequency range ideal for interoperability with civilian law enforcement and public safety officials.
The Falcon III AN/VRC-110 multiband, multimode vehicular tactical radio systems has followed the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program's Enterprise Business Model (EBM) and operates on the JTRS Software Communications Architecture. By adhering to the DoD's open-standards approach to radio technology, the Harris Falcon III® tactical ground radios and related systems give customers a future-focused technology platform that easily integrates pre-planned upgrades and new capabilities based on warfighters' emerging requirements, while offering compatibility with legacy radios. The Falcon III family of radios offers the flexibility to continuously and rapidly deliver on warfighters' evolving requirements.
Harris RF Communications is the leading global supplier of secure radio communications and embedded high-grade encryption solutions for military, government and commercial organizations. The company's Falcon family of software-defined tactical radio systems encompasses manpack, handheld and vehicular applications. Falcon III is the next generation of radios supporting the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements, as well as network-centric operations worldwide. Harris RF Communications is also a leading supplier of assured communications® systems and equipment for public safety, utility and transportation markets — with products ranging from the most advanced IP voice and data networks to portable and mobile single- and multiband radios.
About Harris Corporation
Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries. Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the company has approximately $5 billion of annual revenue and more than 15,000 employees — including nearly 7,000 engineers and scientists.

UW women's rowing took second in the open eight and third in the collegiate four at the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships on Saturday, May 16, on Lake Natoma, Calif.
For most students, preparing for an organic chemistry exam in addition to a physical chemistry exam would mean a weekend spent in the library.
Coming off a Windermere Cup victory over No. 3 Virginia, UW women's crew will face its toughest test of the season at the Pac-12 Championships, as the No. 2 Huskies will take on three top-10 teams on Sunday, May 17, on Lake Natoma in Gold River, Calif.

Every day, you're faced with a variety of dilemmas that could make or break your diet. Whether you're standing in the grocery aisle, scratching your head over a nutrition label, or are pondering two choices on a restaurant menu, it can be difficult to discern what the best choice is. Knowledge is power, and by making yourself aware of which options are more nutritious, you can take the guesswork out of healthy eating.
So don't panic next time you're faced with a diet-related decision. Instead, keep these tips in mind:
What's worse: Sugar or artificial sweeteners?
There has been a lot of debate in recent years about whether or not artificial alternatives like Splenda, Truvia and Equal are better for you than actual sugar. As for artificial sweeteners, research still isn't conclusive about whether they can cause cancer or other serious health issues. However, Fitness magazine noted that according to a study by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, 55 percent of people who drank one or two diet sodas a day were overweight after seven to eight years, compared to 33 percent of those who drank regular soft drinks. Experts say this could be because artificial sugars can actually exacerbate your cravings for sweets.
So it might be best to stick to the real thing and limit your portions - after all, 1 teaspoon only has 16 calories. If you still want to up the sweetness, you can always enhance the flavor of your coffee or baked goods with other tasty additions like vanilla extract, cinnamon or nutmeg.
Should I have a snack before bed or go to sleep hungry?
There's a difference between feeling snack-y around midnight and feeling actual hunger. However, if your tummy is growling, it's best to eat something small. In fact, you'll probably find it pretty difficult to fall asleep if your hunger is distracting you, and you're bound to wake up even more famished, causing you to overdo it at breakfast.
Contrary to popular belief, you won't pack on pounds overnight just by eating late, as timing doesn't really factor into your body's ability to burn calories. Just be wary of mindless nibbling in front of the TV, which can get out of control. Make a pre-portioned satiating snack like a string cheese and a serving of whole grain crackers, or a nonfat vanilla yogurt with a sliced banana, to keep those rumblings at bay.
Is it better to skip breakfast or have something unhealthy at the office?
When you have to jet out the door before whipping up a nutritious breakfast, it can be tempting to grab a donut or a muffin from the kitchen when you get to work. Ultimately, it's better to eat half of something unhealthy than let yourself starve, which could wreak havoc on your metabolism and also make you more likely to overindulge later on.
Or better yet, avoid this situation altogether by keeping options like granola bars and packets of microwaveable oatmeal in your desk drawer. It only takes seconds to whip up a packet of david kirsch's protein plus meal replacement powder in delicious mocha or vanilla, and the mixture is bound to keep you full through all those morning meetings.
